Environmental Education is seen as one of the main ways to raise awareness in society and mitigate environmental degradation. The school space is one of the essential places to provide the citizen development of students, so that they can act with environmental responsibility. Thus, the present work aims to analyze the contents of Environmental Education in the PNLD 2021 books belonging to Moderna Plus collection - Nature Sciences, used in the New High School (NEM) in a public school in the city of Santa Helena, Paraíba. The new PNLD books are organized by knowledge area, and 06 didactic copies are offered for the three high school grades. The research was characterized as exploratory and documentary, with the analysis based on the contributions of the work of Layrargues and Lima (2014), related to the conservative, pragmatic and critical strands of the Political-Pedagogical Macrotrends of Environmental Education. The themes selected to be analyzed stemmed from the themes related to EE, addressed by each book that makes up the collection under investigation. This research presents all environmental proposals inserted in the Moderna Plus - Nature Sciences collection, through the macrotrends, as well as points out some factors that were not addressed in some of the didactic copies, which serve to assist teachers and students of the NEM, following the principles of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), through the implementation of the NEM.

An aging worldwide population, associated with more and more future dependence, demands scientific reflection on care for older adults. Frequently, and even admitted as desirable, such care is usually provided by an informal caregiver. Informal care refers to a type of unpaid care that requires a previous relationship between a caregiver and an older adult, at home. Its demanding’s can lead to negative implications, such as stress in the informal caregiver, refered in the literature as the term overload/overwork. It is related to poor physical and mental health, and sometimes, cases of depression stand out. In this review, we emphasize the urgency of psychological intervention with informal caregivers of older adults, to allow them to experience greater well-being and health, minimizing stress and fostering their growth, underlining the importance of considering their individual needs. Adding to the evidence in the area is Gilbert's Compassion-Focused Therapy, which is concerned with the relief or prevention of the suffering of individuals, specifically highlighting the act of caring.

The main cause of soil degradation in humid tropical and subtropical environments is water erosion, characterized by being the most important in Brazil. The main factors that determine soil losses by water erosion are erosivity, erodibility, topography, soil use and management and conservationist practices. Proper conservation planning requires knowledge of the factors that influence local erosion. The quantification of soil losses due to water erosion helps to define management techniques and conservation practices appropriate for each province. The municipality of Rio Largo - AL, is located in the metropolitan region of Maceió, within the physiographic region of the Coastal Tablelands. The objective of this work was to determine the erosivity of rainfall for the municipality of Rio Largo - AL, through rainfall data from 1963 to 2015. These data were tabulated to calculate rainfall, coefficient and its relationship with erosivity using six equations. The average annual rainfall calculated was 1800 mm for the observation period of 52 years, showing a wide variation in rainfall distribution, with the rainy season concentrated in the months of April to August. The computed average annual erosivity index was 3761 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 year-1, ranging from 312 to 7211 MJ mm ha-1 h-1 year-1. The months of May, June and July correspond to the most critical period in relation to the erosive potential of the rains and the months of October, November and December are the least critical.

Oil is a fossil fuel of great economic importance. However, it is highly toxic, causing harmful effects to the environment and the life that inhabits it. In this sense, the present study aimed to present the main impacts of oil on birds and possible solutions to the problem, through a systematic literature review. For the review, the Web of Science database was used, in which two sets of keywords were searched: "oil spills seabirds" and "oil spills birds," followed by three search refinements: only publications that included the keywords in the title, only publications of the "article" type, only articles published between 2012 and 2022. The main topics discussed in the literature were: detection of oil at low concentrations in individuals; main compounds found in organs; physical and physiological effects of oil; cause of mortality; and treatment and rehabilitation of individuals. The main topics covered in the literature were: detection of oil at low concentrations in individuals; main compounds found in organs; physical and physiological effects of oil; cause of mortality; and treatment and rehabilitation of individuals. Eleven articles were selected to comprise the present review, these addressed four spills: Deepwater Horizon, Prestige, MV Tricolor, and the Tsushima spill. Despite the relevant results of the research, the short period of time covered in the review and the use of a single database resulted in some limitations in the research, making it necessary, therefore, to conduct more extensive studies in the future.

COVID-19-Associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis (CAPA) is one of the main complications of severely ill patients with COVID-19. Thus, this study aimed to report cases of CAPA in patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital. Method: Descriptive and retrospective study that included patients with CAPA admitted between March 2020 and December 2021 in the intensive care unit of a high complexity hospital. Results: Of the eight patients with CAPA described in this study, six were classified as possible cases and two as probable cases. Conclusion: Preventive actions and active investigation of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in critical COVID-19 patients should be performed through appropriate screening and diagnostic protocols, considering the high risk of co-infection of these patients.      

This article aims to carry out a systematic review of the literature on studies of stakeholder management in project management, in recent years, specifically between 2020 and 2021, in the field of articles deposited in the Journals database of Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes). For this purpose, the Main Items to Report Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (Prism) protocol was used for the selection of articles. The results indicate that since the release of the version “a first look at the 7th edition PMBOK guide, there are no articles in Portuguese that address stakeholder management from the perspective of the principles present in this version. One of the limitations of the study is the fact that Capes' journal database has limitations regarding the use of search tools. For future studies, it is recommended that the theme be addressed in a systematic literature review using other databases.

La col mantecosa (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) es una hortaliza originaria de la costa mediterránea y pertenece a la familia Brassicaceae. El objetivo fue evaluar el desarrollo fenológico de repollo cultivado en macetas en respuesta a diferentes dosis de estiércol aviar. El trabajo se realizó de noviembre de 2019 a enero de 2020, en un invernadero de la Universidad Estatal de Alagoas, Campus I, ubicado en el municipio de Arapiraca-AL. El experimento se realizó utilizando 4 tratamientos (T1 - suelo sin estiércol, T2 - suelo + 50g de estiércol, T3 - suelo + 75g de estiércol y T4 - suelo + 100g de estiércol) y 5 repeticiones. Se realizaron monitoreos fenológicos semanales, observándose inicialmente (precosecha) las siguientes variables: altura de la planta (AP), diámetro del tallo (DC) y número de hojas (NF), luego en el período poscosecha: longitud de la raíz (CPR), masa fresca de raíces (MFR), masa fresca de plantas (MFP), masa seca de raíces (MSR), masa seca de plantas (MSP). Todas las variables analizadas fueron sometidas a análisis de varianza (ANOVA), y para la comparación de medias se utilizó la prueba de Tukey (p<0,05) a través del software SISVAR versión 5.6. Con los resultados obtenidos se comprobó que el desarrollo de la especie resultó de un suelo rico en materia orgánica y nutrientes necesarios para el cultivo, aunque no hubo diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos.    

Pollination is an essential ecosystem service, threatened by the decline of insect populations, the major pollinators. It is caused by factors such as habitat loss through urbanization. Another obstacle to be overcome is society perception, influenced by social and cultural constructions. Thus, diagnosis of public perception is necessary for developing awareness actions. The aim of this Project was to do a survey of the perception of the university community and visitors to the Botanical Garden of Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (JB-UFRRJ) on pollinating insects. The survey was applied via Google Forms, divided in four sections: 1. Profile; 2. Contact with nature; 3 e 4. Pollination/Pollinators. 92 answers were obtained. Despite having found a certain contact with nature and knowledge about pollination, there were negative responses. Flies and wasps had negative feedback, whereas bees and butterflies had positive responses, reinforcing flies and wasps’ great rejection. Damages stood out among the given responses. This exposes the tendency of directing feelings of aversion to animals characterized as insects, especially to the non-charismatic ones. The data indicates the need of divulgation actions, involving multimedia tools (e.g.: photographs; social networks) and extension actions aiming to reverse this context.

Self-regulation of learning (SRL) consists of the process of self-reflection and action of students, aiming to achieve a personal goal, guide, systematize, organize, monitor, plan and evaluate their actions, thoughts and feelings, being, therefore, a reflective, conscious and proactive activity for their own learning. This work aims to analyze the self-regulation of learning in higher education and how it can influence the academic development of students and the professional training of teachers. It is an integrative bibliographic review with a high sensitivity search in the Scielo, PubMed, LILACS databases and in the ERIC platform, using the following descriptors: "University education", "self-regulation of learning" and "benefits" with the operator boolean “AND”. As for the results, 122 publications were identified, and of which 51 met the specified selection criteria. 40 studies that were not directly related were excluded. Resulting in 11 eligible articles that were included in this review. It is concluded that the self-regulation of learning is an important tool in academic training and will reflect positively on the behavior of students, who will be able to be protagonists of their own training, there needs to be the contribution of the teaching staff in the development of methodologies that favor learning.
