Taking into account that agriculture is one of the fundamental activities of humanity, family farmers contribute to Sustainable Development. This, in turn, is questioned, among other arguments, due to the difficulty in determining the sustainability of a system. From this perspective, the objective of this study was to evaluate sustainability and family farming in the Calumbi community, Corrente-PI. For that, a case study was used, comprising a qualitative-quantitative research, where data were collected through interviews with the family nuclei of the community. Most of these families lived in rural areas and had their own land suitable for farming, as well as specific natural resources, which makes family farming an accessible activity. However, it is noted that the studied community lacks greater social structures to settle the land and combat the rural exodus. Family farming is important for the process of sustainable development, however, family farmers lack public policies that allow a better insertion in the market and its adequate economic, social, political and cultural reproduction.

The objective was to evaluate the epidemiological profile of leprosy cases in São Luís-MA between the years 2018 to 2022. This is an epidemiological, retrospective and descriptive study, whose data were collected on the DATASUS platform. Aspects related to gender, age group, ethnicity, education, clinical evolution and the type of exit were analyzed. It was observed that the disease prevails among men (54.19%), aged between 40 and 49 years (18.47%) and most with high school education (30.60%). Thus the importance in the planning and management of health policies in the prevention and control of the disease should be a priority between the program of men's health and public health aiming at early diagnosis and treatment of cases.

Breast feeding is considered the best nutrition al source for the first six months infant's life, but lactating women undergoing bariatric surgery (BS) should be monitored more carefully. BS favors food restriction and more nutrition of specific nutrients, causing a deficient nutritional frequency, which can be a factor that can change the content and energy of human milk. This is a case report, consisting of a pregnant woman who became pregnant two months after gastric bypass bariatric surgery, which aim store port and evaluate the characteristics of human milk. This case report corroborates with the data available in the current literature, suggesting that BS may influence the nutritional composition of human milk. However, there is a need for further studies with a larger sample population to be conducted.

Extended-release systems have several advantages, such as greater availability of the drug in the bloodstream and fewer side effects, being properly applied to drugs that have a short biological half-life, requiring a "medium" for the drug to remain for a period of time. extended, reaching its destination. The objective of this study was to show three technologies currently used in order to prolong the release/action of the drug. An integrative review was carried out, collecting articles from the following databases: VHL, Google academic, Scielo and Pubmed, published in the last 10 years. Thus, the importance of these systems and their applicability was demonstrated, including the benefits for the patient, when using a drug with an extended effect, since it is usually necessary to ingest several doses, so that the therapeutic effect is obtained. It is concluded that the implementation of these systems has satisfactory performance against drugs that do not use these technologies, favoring the patient with a better therapeutic effect, due to easier adherence.

The university hazing is a practice used as a way of initiating new students into the universities. Since its origins, this practice has been the subject of controversy, motivated by the occurrence of violent episodes during the hazing, sometimes with tragic consequences for the students. In the literature, numerous studies analyse this phenomenon. In this paper we propose the use of Activity Theory (AT) as a tool to analyse the university hazing. We will identify throughout the text the different components of this practice, associating them with the concepts that make up an analysis in AT.

The teaching of Botany, in turn, takes place in a disjointed way and without contextualization, in an approach that makes it difficult to properly learn its concepts. With this, the present work aimed to recognize the importance of botanical collections in the teaching of plant taxonomy for undergraduate students in Science: Biology and Chemistry at the Federal University of Amazonas - UFAM. The research was carried out at the Instituto de Natureza e Cultura–INC/UFAM in the municipality of Benjamin Constant - AM, and a questionnaire was prepared and applied to 20 students from the 6th period addressing popular knowledge with scientific knowledge and the importance of identifying plant species. Through the results obtained, it was found that the questionnaires had a positive return on the students' knowledge about the techniques of exsiccata, since all the students knew how to answer the concept and the necessary scientific methodological procedures. However, only 75% of students are aware of the storage of exsiccates present in the educational institution, showing that there are still students who are unaware of this extremely important scope in the specific area of ​​Botany. It is worth mentioning that the students mentioned that the exsiccata or plant samples are of great importance, since this serves as an identification of plants or species and from the exsiccata it is possible to carry out scientific work or even compare them with other plant species. Therefore, this research is of fundamental importance for a better understanding of the exsiccata and botanical identification in the current context that the university finds itself, in the triple border Brazil x Peru x Colombia, rethinking the way of approaching the botany content, so that the student is interested for the same and does not perpetuate the “botanical blindness”, enabling the perception of the importance of plants in their daily lives.  

Family farming has been gaining a new look since the 1990s. A look that has sought to characterize it in a positive way, that is, to characterize it for what it is; and no longer defining it in a negative way, that is, for what it is not, as if it were the destiny of family farming to become a large monoculture production. Thus, family farming became associated, among other factors, with food production; it have been receiveing its own rural credit policy, formalized in Pronaf. However, there have been serious questions about Pronaf's ability to meet the regional diversity of family farming and, above all, about the concentration of its resources in crops that reproduce the model of productive specialization associated with crops for export. In this sense, our article seeks to observe whether, in the case of the Northeast region, Pronaf has managed to finance crops linked to local food generally associated with diversified production. To do so, we analyzed data on agricultural funding for crops granted through Pronaf during the period from 2013 to 2021 for the Northeast region. We conclude that, although there is a diversity of crops financed by Pronaf in the Northeast, the growing share of corn cultivation in the total resources requires attention.

This work aims to report the experience of the Early Childhood Education Teaching Internship held virtually during the year 2021, space-time of the Covid 19 pandemic. Is configured as an essential curricular component of the pedagogical project of the pedagogy course. Through the reading of articles, meetings, dialogues with the advisor and interview with the supervising teacher, the need arose to develop a Practical Guide for Conducting Guided Play in the Nursery, with the objective of expanding the possibilities of work of the supervising teacher with directed games that promoted the development and learning of children as a guiding axis of pedagogical and curricular practices. The results point to indications that during the development of the games proposed in the Practical Guide in the day care center, it was possible to identify through the teacher's report that the games provided the children's movement, affection and interaction. In these collective games, they learned to share situations of gain and loss with others, where they are linked to facing situations of frustration that are common to adult life. From the wealth of experiences in the supervised internship, we understand that the description of the experience can corroborate for reflection and planning of the supervised internship, as well as stimulate pedagogical actions that have play and interactions as their axis.

With the objective of developing an application as an assistive technology tool in the teaching of Environmental Sciences, this research finds in its way different forms of reflection on education, especially in the Teaching of Environmental Sciences, passing through some themes to reach the utopia that is the inclusion of students of inclusive education in school in a cooperative way, having the management of natural resources involved in a vegetable garden, with activities aimed at sustainable actions to improve the environment in which they live and their well-being. Based on an applied, exploratory research with a quali-quantitative approach, the application “Minha vegetable garden” developed on the Fábrica deApplications platform provides content and interactivity about gardening, recycling, water saving, literacy and inclusion. And since inclusive education in schools has been a challenge for teachers, who mostly have difficulties working with students with global developmental disorders, high abilities and disabilities, with a limitation of digital tools, the app brings from multidisciplinary way activities adapted for elementary school students - Early years that are part of inclusion, focusing on the teaching of Environmental Sciences, however, other curricular components can be worked on, promoting an integrated teaching.

Objetivou-se avaliar a germinação da semente de lichia, com tratamentos pré germinativos em função do tempo de armazenamento. Foram coletados frutos uniformes de lichieiras sadias, onde parte foi armazenada em geladeira e outra parte teve suas sementes extraídas manualmente e armazenadas em geladeira e em ambiente natural. Sementes de um dia foram submetidas aos tratamentos pré germinativos com imerssão durante 30 minutos em: água (25°C),  Gelo (0°C); solução de KCl 5 g.L-1; solução de GA3 1000 mg.L-1; solução de GA3 2000 mg.L-1; solução de GA3 3000 mg.L-1; solução de GA3 4000 mg.L-1 e submetida a Geladeira por 24 horas (10°C), semeadas em papel germitest e colocadas em câmara BOD temperatura 25°C, iluminação 12/12 horas. Este procedimento foi repetido para sementes armazenadas por 30 e 60 dias e para sementes retiradas de frutos armazenados por 30 e 60 dias. O modelo experimental  foi  inteiramente  casualisados,  sendo oito tratamentos e quatro repetições de 50 sementes. As sementes de lichia armazenada por 30 dias em  geladeira  não  apresentoaram  resultado  satisfatório na germinação, sementes armazenadas em ambiente natural por 30 dias e por 60 dias em geladeira não germinaram, sendo que o tratamento com giberelina foi benéfico à geminação.
