Intervention in family conflicts through mediation from the comparative perspective of principles of Brazil and Portugal legislation

The jurisdictional function of a country plays an important role in the resolution of family conflicts, causing a high number of lawsuits. However, the ability to resolve conflicts of this nature is not exclusive to the judiciary, it being possible for other ways, with help of a third party other than the State. Given the growing number of disputes that can be resolved extra judicially, the need for more investment in the development of other means of conflict resolution, such as mediation, to achieve social peace remains evident. This article aims to compare some aspects of mediation in Brazil and Portugal, seeking to focus especially on family conflicts, investigating similarities, equivalences and differences between the family mediation guiding principles in Brazil and Portugal. For this effect, it was privileged bibliographical and legislative research, with qualitative comparative analysis, which led to the conclusion that, despite the differences, the two diplomas are very similar, showing equivalences and few absences, which do not compromise the basis of mediation.La función jurisdiccional de un país desempeña un papel importante en la resolución de los conflictos familiares, provocando un elevado número de pleitos. Sin embargo, la capacidad de resolver conflictos de esta naturaleza no es exclusiva del poder judicial, siendo posible por otras vías, con ayuda de un tercero distinto del Estado. Dado el creciente número de conflictos que pueden resolverse extrajudicialmente, sigue siendo evidente la necesidad de invertir más en el desarrollo de otros medios de resolución de conflictos, como la mediación, para lograr la paz social. Este artículo pretende comparar algunos aspectos de la mediación en Brasil y Portugal, buscando centrarse especialmente en los conflictos familiares, investigando las similitudes, equivalencias y diferencias entre los principios rectores de la mediación familiar en Brasil y Portugal. Para ello, se ha privilegiado la investigación bibliográfica y legislativa, con un análisis comparativo cualitativo, que llevó a la conclusión de que, a pesar de las diferencias, los dos diplomas son muy similares, mostrando equivalencias y pocas ausencias, que no comprometen las bases de la mediación

The objective was to evaluate the floristic composition and horizontal structure of a shrub-tree fragment of Tropical Seasonally Dry Forest - (SDTF), of conserved Caatinga, in the municipality of Campina Grande - PB, Brazil. Located at the Prof. Ignácio Salcedo, at the National Institute of the Semi-Arid Region – (INSA) / Ministry of Science, Technology and Information – (MCTI). In a transect of (50 m x 100 m), with 50 plots of (10 m x 10 m), individuals and stems with CBH ≥ 6 cm were measured. The presence of 2.602 individuals ha-1, with 3.210 stems ha-1, distributed in 17 families, 34 identified genera, 1 unidentified genus and 16 species. The most important families in number of species and individuals were Fabaceae and Apocynaceae, mainly due to the occurrence of the species Cenostigma nordestinum Gagnon & G.P.Lewis and Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart. & Zucc., respectively. The relevance of the two species with the highest density was perceived in relation to the basal area, which corresponded to 2.12 m2 ha-1 and 1.26 m2 ha-1, respectively, which showed the main contribution of the mentioned families, the area studied in terms of its diversity, was considered a normal pattern with a higher average value of 2.42 nats ind-1, when compared to some studies in the literature. In view of this, this study constitutes basic tools for its management and conservation, enabling the adoption of correct practices, comparisons between and within forest communities, in addition to giving rise to the formulation of hypotheses for other studies

Evaluation of the efficiency of a Venturi scrubber in particulate matter collection smaller than 2.5 µm emitted by biomass burning

Energy demand has increased worldwide, and biomass burning is one of the solutions most used by industries, especially in countries that have a great potential in agriculture, such as Brazil. However, these energy sources generate pollutants, consisting of particulate matter (PM) with a complex chemical composition, such as sugarcane bagasse (SB) burning. Controlling these emissions is necessary; therefore, the aim was to evaluate PM collection using a rectangular Venturi scrubber (RVS), and its effects on the composition of the PM emitted. Considering the appropriate use of biomass as an industrial fuel and the emerging need for a technique capable of efficiently removing pollutants from biomass burning, this study shows the control of emissions as an innovation in a situation such as the industrial one with the use of a Venturi scrubber in fine particle collection, in addition to using portable and representative isokinetic sampling equipment of these particles. The pilot-scale simulation of the biomass burning process, the representative sampling of fine particles and obtaining parameters to control pollutant emissions for a Venturi scrubber, meets the current situation of concern about air quality. The average collection efficiency values were 96.6% for PM&gt; 2.5, 85.5% for PM1.0–2.5, and 66.9% for PM&lt; 1.0. The ionic analysis for PM&lt; 1.0 filters showed potassium, chloride, nitrate, and nitrite at concentrations ranging from 20.12 to 36.5 μg/m3. As the ethanol and sugar plants will continue to generate electricity with sugarcane bagasse burning, emission control technologies and cost-effective and efficient portable samplers are needed to monitor particulate materials and improve current gas cleaning equipment projects.</p

Behavioral patterns that increase or decrease risk of abdominal adiposity in adults

The identification of risk or protective behavioral patterns associated with abdominal adiposity may aid in prevention and health promotion measures. To identify and to associate behavioral patterns of risk and protection to abdominal adiposity in adults in a Brazilian city. Material and methods: A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out in Viçosa, Brazil, with 1,226 adults of both sexes. Information on social-demographic characteristics, food intake, level of physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking were collected by using a questionnaire. The anthropometric measurement of waist circumference and anthropometric indices waist/hip ratio and waist/height ratio were indicators of abdominal adiposity. To identify behavioral patterns, exploratory factor analysis was applied for the variables considered as risk or protective factors. The association of the identified patterns with abdominal adiposity was estimated by multiple linear regression, adjusted for gender, age and social economical class. Two patterns were obtained, “healthy” and “risk”. The “healthy” pattern, comprised of the clustering of the variables food consumption, fruits, fresh fruit juices, raw and cooked vegetables and the appropriate level of physical activity, was negatively associated with abdominal adiposity identified by waist circumference (p = 0.048), waist/hip (p = 0.013) and waist/height (p = 0.018) indices. The “risk” pattern, composed of smoking, alcohol beverage abuse and habit of consuming visible fat in fat-rich red meat or poultry skin, was positively associated with abdominal adiposity identified by waist circumference (p = 0.002) and waist/hip (p = 0.007) and waist/height indices (p = 0.006). Two behavioral patterns were identified, a risk pattern and a protective pattern for abdominal adiposity in the assessed population. The study shows the importance of conducting clustering of multiple risk and protective factors to better explain the health conditions of a group.la identificación de los riesgos o los patrones de comportamiento de protección asociados con la adiposidad abdominal puede ayudar en las medidas de prevención y promoción de la salud. identificar y establecer la asociación entre los patrones de comportamiento de riesgo y de protección y la adiposidad abdominal en adultos en una ciudad brasileña. Material y métodos: se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal basado en la población en Viçosa, Brasil, con 1.226 adultos de ambos sexos. Se recogió información sobre las características sociodemográficas, la ingesta de alimentos, el nivel de actividad física, el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas y el hábito tabáquico mediante un cuestionario. La medición antropométrica de la circunferencia de la cintura y de los índices antropométricos cintura/cadera y cintura/altura fueron los indicadores de adiposidad abdominal. Para identificar los patrones de comportamiento, se aplicó un análisis factorial exploratorio de las variables de riesgo o factores de protección considerados. La asociación de los patrones identificados con la adiposidad abdominal se estimó por regresión lineal múltiple, ajustada por género, edad y nivel socioeconómico. Se establecieron dos patrones, “sano” y “riesgo”. El patrón “sano”, compuesto por la agrupación de las variables consumo de alimentos, frutas, zumos de fruta fresca, verdura cruda y cocida y el nivel apropiado de actividad física, se asoció negativamente con la adiposidad abdominal identificada por la circunferencia de la cintura (p = 0,048) y los índices cintura/cadera (p = 0,013) y cintura/altura (p = 0,018). El patrón de “riesgo”, compuesto por hábito tabáquico, abuso de alcohol y consumo de grasa visible en carnes rojas ricas en grasa o piel de las aves, se asoció positivamente con la adiposidad abdominal identificada por la circunferencia de la cintura (p = 0,002) y las ratios intura/cadera (p = 0,007) y cintura/altura (p = 0,006). Fueron identificados dos patrones de comportamiento, el patrón de riesgo y el patrón de protección, relacionados con la adiposidad abdominal en la población estudiada. El estudio muestra la importancia de agrupar múltiples factores de riesgo y de protección para explicar mejor las condiciones de salud de un grupo
