KRAFTERRA:TIJOLO ECOLÓGICO

A Construção Civil tem gerado uma grande quantidade de resíduos sólidos em seus processos produtivos. Buscando solucionar os problemas gerados por tais resíduos estão sendo feitas pesquisas de melhor reaproveitamento dos mesmos. O tijolo artesanal Krafterra é um meio de solucionar a contaminação do ambiente gerada pelo papel Kraft, componente dos sacos de cimento e diminuir os custos de construções. O Krafterra, além do papel, tem como componentes: cimento, terra argilosa e seiva de babosa. A escolha de tais materiais é devido às suas propriedades físicas e químicas que contribuem para a eficiência do tijolo. A criação do tijolo é de extrema importância para a ciência, para o meio ambiente, para as empresas e para os pesquisadores. Foram feitos testes de absorção e resistência que buscaram avaliar a viabilidade e o desempenho do tijolo em canteiro experimental

CARACTERIZAÇÃO MORFORMÉTRICA DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIO IPANEMA-PE/AL

Os estudos sobres as bacias hidrográficas sempre foram assuntos importantes, tanto para a gestão do meio ambiente, mas também para a sociedade, considerando isso, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os índices morfométricos para compreensão do Rio Ipanema. Com a utilização do software Arcgis 10.4 e cenas do Radar SRTM com de resolução de 30m espacial, foi possível entender as características físicas desta bacia e sua dinâmica do comportamento da rede de drenagem, desde sua nascente até o exutório, também foi possível que a partir destas análises, futuros problemas ambientais, tal como erosão do solo possam ser evitados no local. Enfim os resultados alcançados nesta análise sobre a bacia do Rio Ipanema possam ser utilizados tanto para entender sua dinâmica, mas também para futuramente um monitoramento para um uso mais racional deste recurso natural

ATLANTIC EPIPHYTES: a data set of vascular and non-vascular epiphyte plants and lichens from the Atlantic Forest

Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

Adherence to treatment in allergic rhinitis using mobile technology. The MASK Study

Background: Mobile technology may help to better understand the adherence to treatment. MASK-rhinitis (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK for allergic rhinitis) is a patient-centred ICT system. A mobile phone app (the Allergy Diary) central to MASK is available in 22 countries. Objectives: To assess the adherence to treatment in allergic rhinitis patients using the Allergy Diary App. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was carried out on all users who filled in the Allergy Diary from 1 January 2016 to 1 August 2017. Secondary adherence was assessed by using the modified Medication Possession Ratio (MPR) and the Proportion of days covered (PDC) approach. Results: A total of 12 143 users were registered. A total of 6 949 users reported at least one VAS data recording. Among them, 1 887 users reported ≥7 VAS data. About 1 195 subjects were included in the analysis of adherence. One hundred and thirty-six (11.28%) users were adherent (MPR ≥70% and PDC ≤1.25), 51 (4.23%) were partly adherent (MPR ≥70% and PDC = 1.50) and 176 (14.60%) were switchers. On the other hand, 832 (69.05%) users were non-adherent to medications (MPR <70%). Of those, the largest group was non-adherent to medications and the time interval was increased in 442 (36.68%) users. Conclusion and clinical relevance: Adherence to treatment is low. The relative efficacy of continuous vs on-demand treatment for allergic rhinitis symptoms is still a matter of debate. This study shows an approach for measuring retrospective adherence based on a mobile app. This also represents a novel approach for analysing medication-taking behaviour in a real-world setting
