First record of Eumops glaucinus (Wager, 1843) (Chiroptera, Molossidae) to the Brazilian state of Maranhão

The study provides the first record of Eumops glaucinus in the Maranhão state, located in the northern region of Brazil. The collected specimen was a non-lactating adult female, with grayish pelage, broad ears, smooth face, a well-developed and squarish tragus, and elongated snout. The combined analysis of the morphological and molecular data (COI, Cyt b, and rRNA 16S genes) confirmed the occurrence of E. glaucinus in the state of Maranhão. This record extends the known species range area by 660 km easternward from the closest locality, Belém, Pará

Microcalorimetric and SAXS determination of PEO−SDS interactions: The effect of cosolutes formed by ions

The effect of different ionic cosolutes (NaCl, Na2SO4, Li2SO4, NaSCN, Na2[Fe(CN)5NO], and Na3[Co(NO)6]) on the interaction between sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was examined by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and isothermal titration calorimetric techniques. The critical aggregation concentration values (cac), the saturation concentration (C2), the integral enthalpy change for aggregate formation (ΔHagg(int)) and the standard free energy change of micelle adsorption on the macromolecule chain (ΔΔGagg) were derived from the calorimetric titration curves. In the presence of 1.00 mmol L−1 cosolute, no changes in the parameters were observed when compared with those obtained for SDS−PEO interactions in pure water. For NaCl, Na2SO4, Li2SO4, and NaSCN at 10.0 and 100 mmol L−1, the cosolute presence lowered cac, increased C2, and the PEO−SDS aggregate became more stable. In the presence of Na2[Fe(CN)5NO], the calorimetric titration curves changed drastically, showing a possible reduction in the PEO−SDS degree of interaction, possibility disrupting the formed nanostructure; however, the SAXS data confirmed, independent of the small energy observed, the presence of aggregates adsorbed on the polymer chain

Decreasing CO2 emissions by biofuels production from palm oil in the Brazilian Amazon

O estudo pretende estimar a redução de CO2 proporcionada pela produção de biocombustíveis a partir do óleo de dendê nas áreas aptas ao cultivo, segundo o ZAE-Dendê da Amazônia Brasileira. Essas estimativas, ainda escassas na literatura, são parte das diretrizes governamentais frente às mudanças climáticas. Tais diretrizes envolvem a mensuração de dois reservatórios de carbono potenciais: i) a fixação de CO2 atmosférico proveniente do acúmulo na biomassa nos plantios; e ii) a redução de emissões de CO2 oriundas da substituição de combustíveis fósseis por biocombustíveis (menos poluentes), gerados a partir de óleo de dendê. Os resultados demonstram que, ao longo do período de cultivo, 151,85 Mg.CO2eq.ha-1 podem ser estocados na biomassa acima do solo. Em um cenário de aproveitamento potencial para a produção de óleo de palma de 35 milhões de hectares de áreas desmatadas da Amazônia brasileira, 5,3 bilhões Mg.CO2eq poderiam ser absorvidas com o plantio. Entretanto, aproximadamente 90% do CO2 absorvido retorna à atmosfera durante o processo de produção, devido à baixa tecnologia aplicada, tornando imprescindível o reaproveitamento dos resíduos da produção para aumentar a eficiência da redução de CO2.The study aims to estimate the reduction of CO2 provided by the production of biofuels from palm oil in suitable areas, according to the “land use plan-Palm Oil” of the Brazilian Amazon. These estimates, still lacking in the literature, are part of the government guidelines to climate change. Such guidelines involve the measurement of two potential carbon pools: i) the fixation of atmospheric CO2 from the accumulation of biomass through croplands and; ii) the reduction of CO2 emissions arising from the replacement of fossil fuels by biofuels (less polluting), generated from palm oil. The results show that over the cultivation period, 151.85 Mg.CO2eq.ha-1 can be stocked in above-ground biomass. In 35 million hectares scenario of potential use for the production of palm oil in deforested areas of Brazilian Amazon 5.3 billion Mg.CO2eq could be absorbed with the plantation. However, approximately 90% of the CO2 absorbed returns to the atmosphere during the production process due to low technology applied, making essential the reuse of waste production to increase the efficiency of CO2 reduction

Aspectos coloidais da adesão de micro-organismos

The ability of bacteria to attach to surface and develop into a biofilm has been of considerable interest to food industry. Electrostatic, Lifhistz-van der Waals and Lewis acid-base forces are usually considered responsible for the interactions at the interface of the bacterial adhesion. The study of microbial adhesion thermodynamic is important because it represents the reflection of microbial surface and food processing surface physicochemical characteristics. This review examines the most important aspects involved in bacterial attachment to a surface with emphases in thermodynamics of adhesion process

Overview of University Actions Aimed at The Nutrition of Two Indigenous Communities In The Interior of The State of Mato Grosso Do Sul – Brazil: Report of Experience In Public Policies

The diet composed of adequate food is reported in the literature as one of the aspects of health promotion and maintenance, and it is the duty and obligation of the State to promote public policies that seek to meet these needs of the population. However, due to a number of factors, the minority or vulnerable populations end up not benefiting from a good part of the projects in force in Brazil. Thus, this work aimed to conduct a case study with two indigenous communities living in the interior of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, listing the main points related to food practices, evaluation of the state of health in force and measures that help adherence to good food practices. The largest target audience was children from 0 (zero) to 12 (twelve) years, totaling 190 (one hundred and ninety), followed by newborns and puerperals who totaled 14 (fourteen) family nuclei and the elderly population of the community, which totaled 15 (fifteen). The service team was composed of Nutritionist, Health Agent, Social Worker and Nutrition Intern professionals. Several activities were developed, occurring according to the public attended during the different days of visit in the villages, mainly home visits, community actions such as vaccination campaigns, lectures and collective guidance. It is concluded that the measures adopted in public policies related to feeding the indigenous community is a powerful tool to provide the benefits for a better quality of life, well-being and maintenance of the health of indigenous peoples

Food Science from the Perspective of the Nutrition Professional

This work had as thematic the study in analysis of foods from the perspective of the nutrition professional. The objective of the research was to seek the training of this professional for the then analysis of the performance in quality control and formulation of products, with the perspective of assistance to projects carried out on site. This research was conducted in a community cafeteria located in a university in the interior of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil. As a data collection tool, preparation technical sheets were used in which costs were collected, the preparation order, and the nutritional value provided. Sensory observation was used as an analysis of the data in order to measure and analyze and interpret the reactions of food and material characteristics. It appears that with the identification, attributions and activities developed by a nutritionist in the area, it became possible to analyze the processing of raw material and industrialized food products, according to the needs presented by the site. As for the points not reached were not due to any other factors than those related to the specificities of the research site, which did not prevent the acquisition of theoretical, practical, scientific, social and environmental knowledge of the points concerning the area of action of the nutritionist professional within the field of food science
