    This study aimed to identify the research gaps on the theme "Municipal Solid Waste Management", as from the analysis of articles indexed in the SCOPUS database. For this objective to be achieved, an applied research of exploratory nature and qualitative approach was carried out. It is noteworthy that, as method and technical procedures were adopted, respectively, the bibliographic research and the literature review. The data used in the analysis were obtained from the SCOPUS database in May 2018 and treated using Microsoft Excel® software. It is noteworthy that as a selection criterion, thirty papers indexed in this base that presented the highest number of citations were analyzed. As main results, it can be highlighted that the identified gaps were grouped into eight categories. Among the categories analyzed, one can highlight life cycle assessment, with ten gaps, and tools for municipal solid waste management, with eight. It is also noteworthy that the category "municipal solid waste management associated with other methodologies" occupies the second position, along with "tools for the management of municipal solid waste, indicating the lack of studies in the highlighted areas and pointing out the relevance of the theme for the academic environ

    É possível constatar que a sociedade brasileira historicamente apresenta um comportamento de rejeição, violência e silenciamento frente à população LGBT+, composta por lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, transexuais, travestis, assexuais, pansexuais, queer, entre outros. Mesmo sendo possível observar tais fatos, há uma carência significativa de dados específicos sobre esse comportamento e suas consequências dentro da esfera municipal. Desta forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo espacializar, a partir dos resultados obtidos através de formulários, ocorrências declaradas contra pessoas LGBT+, utilizando como suporte tecnologias de geoprocessamento, relacionadas à violência contra esses grupos sociais vulneráveis no Município do Rio de Janeiro. Como procedimentos metodológicos, foram realizados levantamentos de informações bibliográficas relacionadas aos temas que envolvem a comunidade LGBT+ e toda a sua luta e resistência. Posteriormente, houve a elaboração de um formulário para coleta de dados sobre o tipo de violência sofrida, o local, horário, entre outras questões relevantes para o levantamento. Em seguida, foram feitas as análises preliminares e a identificação das áreas de risco de violência LGBTfóbica. E, por fim, a elaboração de gráficos, mapas temáticos e análises espaciais através de programas de SIG. Como resultados, foram obtidos 273 formulários preenchidos, sendo 203 deles informando alguma violência presenciada ou sofrida. Tendo como destaques registros de agressão verbal e assédio moral, em período noturno e em espaços públicos, registros que foram especializados nos bairros do Município do Rio de Janeiro.It is possible to observe that Brazilian society has a historical rejection, violence and silence behavior towards the LGBT + population, composed of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, transvestite, asexual, pansexual, queer, among others. While it is possible to observe these facts, there is a significant lack of specific data about this behavior and its consequences within the municipal sphere. In this way, the present work aims to spatialize, from the results obtained through forms, occurrences declared against LGBT + people, using as support geoprocessing technologies, related to violence against these vulnerable social groups in the city of Rio de Janeiro. As methodological procedures, surveys were carried out on bibliographic information related to the themes that involve the LGBT + community and all their struggle and resistance. Subsequently, a form was prepared to collect data on the type of violence suffered, the location, time, and other issues relevant to the survey. Next, the preliminary analyses and the identification of the areas of risk of LGBTphobic violence were made. And, finally, the elaboration of graphs, thematic maps and spatial analyses through GIS programs. As a result, 273 completed forms were obtained, of which 203 reported some violence witnessed or suffered. With records of verbal aggression and bullying, at night and in public spaces, records that were specialized in the districts of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro.Il est possible de constater que la société brésilienne a construit depuis longtemps un comportement de rejet et violence envers la population LGBT+, composée de lesbiennes, gays, bisexuels, transsexuels, transsexuels, asexuels, pansexuels, queer, entre autres. S'il est possible d'observer ces faits, il existe encore un manque important de données spécifiques sur ce comportement et ses conséquences dans la sphère municipale, par exemple. Dans ce contexte, le présent article a pour but la spatialisation de la violence contre la communauté LGBT+ en utilisant les technologies géographiques, à partir des résultats obtenus des formulaires où les violences contre ces groupes sociaux vulnérables dans la ville de Rio de Janeiro ont eté declarées pour eux.

    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
