    Introduction:Labels provide information to guide consumers about the most appropriate food choices for their needs, being an important channel of communication between the consumer and the food producer. To fulfill this role, it is essential that these are correct and meet the established legal parameters. Objective:To evaluate the conformity of labels of industrialized mixed drinks based on fruits and vegetables that had the name “detox juice”, in products marketed in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil, between the years 2017 and 2019. Method:23 mixed drinks were initially selected and after evaluating the exclusion criteria, seven samples of different brands were included in this study. The analysis of the labeling was carried out according to the current regulation for food in Brazilian legislation, using a checklist with the following mandatory items: product name; list of ingredients; liquid content; origin identification; batch identification; expiration date; conservation care; use of phrases and images that may cause errors or mistakes to the consumer; nutritional labeling; warning about gluten and the registration number of beverages at the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and Supply (MAPA). Results:In 100% (n = 7) of the samples, irregularity in the use of the term “detox” on the labels and absence of registration with MAPA were observed. In 70% (n = 5) they had errors in the list of ingredients and nutritional information and in 57% (n = 4) the information on the liquid content was not correct. Conclusions: The results showed the presence of non-conformities in all the analyzed products. The irregularities in relation to the sales denomination and the absence of registration were highlighted. In view of this, it is emphasized the need for companies to adapt to the regulation of food labeling and the importance of promoting actions that allow consumers access to reliable information about these foods. Introdução:Os rótulos fornecem informações para a orientação do consumidor sobre as escolhas alimentares mais adequadas às suas necessidades, sendo um importante canal de comunicação entre o consumidor e o produtor de alimentos. Para cumprir esse papel, é fundamental que essas estejam corretas e atendam aos parâmetros legais estabelecidos. Objetivo:Avaliar a conformidade dos rótulos das bebidas mistas industrializadas à base de frutas e vegetais que apresentavam a denominação suco detox, comercializadas em Belo Horizonte (MG), Brasil, entre os anos de 2017 e 2019. Método:Foram selecionadas inicialmente 23 bebidas mistas e, após a avaliação dos critérios de exclusão, sete amostras de diferentes marcas foram selecionadas para o estudo. A análise da rotulagem foi realizada conforme a regulamentação vigente para alimentos na legislação brasileira, utilizando um checklist com os seguintes itens obrigatórios: denominação do produto; lista de ingredientes; conteúdo líquido; identificação de origem; identificação de lote; prazo de validade; cuidados de conservação; uso de frases e imagens que podem causar erro ou engano ao consumidor; rotulagem nutricional; advertência sobre o glúten e o número do registro das bebidas no Ministério da Agricultura e Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA). Resultados:Em 100% (n = 7) das amostras foi observada a irregularidade do uso do termo detoxnos rótulos e ausência do registro junto ao MAPA. Setenta por cento (n = 5) apresentavam erros na lista de ingredientes e informação nutricional e em 57% (n = 4) não estava correta a informação do conteúdo líquido. Conclusões:Os resultados evidenciaram a presença de não conformidades em todos os produtos analisados. Destacaram-se as irregularidades em relação à denominação de venda e a ausência de registro. Diante disso, enfatiza-se a necessidade de adequação das empresas frente à regulação da rotulagem dos alimentos e a importância de se promover ações que permitam aos consumidores acesso a informações confiáveis sobre esses alimentos

    Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Este documento recopila las ponencias y pósters presentados en el Seminario Internacional La educación superior en la Amazonía hoy: inclusión, pertinencia y financiación en los programas de formación. El evento se llevó a cabo los días 22 y 23 de noviembre de 2010 en Leticia-Colombia y contó con la participación de ponentes de universidades presentes en la Amazonía brasilera y colombiana, así como de asesores y expertos en los temas abordados en el encuentro, el contenido nos permite hacer un recorrido de la historia, consolidación y aprendizajes de los centros académicos de educación superior públicos que trabajan en la Amazonia brasilera y colombiana en áreas de frontera: Altamira, Benjamin Constant, Humaitá, Manaus, Parintins y Tabatinga y Rondonia en Brasil y Leticia, La Chorrera, Mocoa y Puerto Asís en Colombia. Tambien se incluye un artículo sobre los programas de educación inclusiva en la básica, en el municipio de Iranduba (Alto Solimoes/Amazonas). El panorama general muestra avances importantes en la cobertura, en el desarrollo de estrategias pedagógicas asociadas a las TIC y en la definición e implementación de políticas inclusivas y avances de investigación en torno a la comprensión de problemáticas psicoafectivas y psicopedagógicas que afectan la transición y permanencia de los estudiantes en los ciclos de educación superior. Al tiempo que evidencia la escasez de autonomía en decisiones de tipo curricular, administrativo y financiero de los nuevos campus; las limitaciones en infraestructura adecuada para su desarrollo (laboratorios, bibliotecas y acceso a Internet); la ausencia de programas integrales de Bienestar para estas comunidades educativas y un desempeño limitado de los docentes para atender poblaciones en contextos multiculturales. Los textos recopilados presentan programas y acciones en formación superior de diferentes regiones de la Amazonia, y de hecho varios enfatizan el reconocimiento de los contextos sociocultural y ambiental como requisito fundamental para diseñar e implementar los programas académicos. Por lo que más que mostrar un camino o modelo a seguir, el lector encontrará pistas en diversas experiencias y evaluará los alcances, las limitaciones y las perspectivas. Queda a libre albedrío de los lectores examinar la complejidad y la conveniencia de estas iniciativas, muchas de los cuales están en desarrollo y la magnitud de su impacto integral está aún por evaluar
