Introduction: The mental health of teachers has been evidenced in the COVID-19 pandemic due to the emotional and psychological pressure exerted by the disease on these professionals. Teaching activities carried out at home can generate stress, anxiety, depression and, consequently, affect their quality of life. Objective: to identify the presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation in nursing faculty at the Federal University of Alagoas – campus A. C. Simões. Methodology: Study with a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional approach developed in a higher education institution in the city of Maceió-AL, Brazil. The sample consisted of permanent professors from the A. C. Simões campus who work in the nursing course. Results: Analyzing the score of the CES-D depression scale, it was identified that 65.5% of teachers are at risk of developing depression. The analysis of the STAI score revealed that 89.7% of the professors had state anxiety at a moderate level, and 86.2% had trait anxiety at a moderate level. Conclusion: Mental illness is intrinsically present in the lives of teachers in the COVID-19 pandemic. It is necessary for the higher education institution to think about coping strategies for this mental illness, also offering psychological and emotional support.

School Food constitutes a students' right and a government's duty. The Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) (En: The National Program of School Food) stands out for being one of the biggest programs to include school food as a Human Right for Adequate Food and Food and Nutrition Security, Its objective is to contribute children's growth and development, learning, school productivity and creation of a healthy food practice; setting 30% of purchasing price is through Family Farming promotes an importante transformation on school food, because healthy, organic, locally produced and directly from Family Farming food are included on school menu. This article has the objective of identifying the relevance of Family Farming on The National Program of School Food, based on previous researches. Bibliographically reviewed original articles, case study and experience reports that included the topic were considered on the research. The results indicate to an integration between Family farming and school food, This integration can potentially improve the variety of school menus, leading to good food practice and stimulating the demanding for more susteinable and healthier choices, as well as the fortification of Family farming and local development.  

Water is a diffuse, finite good, endowed with economic value that requires conservation management of the watershed as a planning unit. This article identified the environmental impacts of the watershed, describing the main aspects, the degrading factors and evaluated the associated environmental impacts, pointing out mitigating measures for the proper management of the Alambique River located in the municipality of Senhor do Bonfim/BA. To analyze the state of conservation of the water body, the Rapid Assessment Protocol (PAR) was used, and for the assessment of environmental impacts, the Listing Method was used to survey aspects (causes) and environmental impacts (consequences) and applied the Leopold's Matrix. On-site visits were carried out for systematic observation and application of the PAR. The findings point to the emergence of compliance with environmental standards for land use and occupation, with the competent public bodies responsible for monitoring and mitigating the negative impacts on the watershed.

The present study aimed to evaluate the nutritional quality of the caferana fruit, focusing on the content and profile of carotenoids due to the characteristic coloring of these compounds. The fruits were collected, botanically identified, and evaluated for proximate composition, carotenoid and sugar content and profile, and flavonoid profile. The results of the centesimal composition of the caferana pulp were: 65 g/100g of moisture; 0.72 g/100g of ash; 0.92 g/100g of protein; 0.78 g/100g of ethereal extract; 2.83 g/100g of dietary fiber; 29.73 g/100g of carbohydrates and the caloric value of 129.62 kcal/100g of pulp. As for the content and profile of sugars in the pulp, 19.41 g/100g of fructose and 4.01 g/100g of glucose were obtained. The fruit had a high content of carotenoids (40 mg/100g on a wet basis), of which 89% was lycopene (36 mg/100g), 2.5 mg/100g of β-carotene and 0.3 mg/100g of lutein. Rutin was identified as a flavonoid present in the fruit pulp. The caferana fruit proved to be an excellent source of lycopene, with higher levels than tomato-based products.

The anthropic actions expressed by conventional-modern agriculture greatly alter the environment, interfering with the balance of natural processes and making its recovery mechanisms precarious. Thus, the interest in the use of microorganisms in agricultural practices has increased significantly in recent years, both in promoting plant growth and in the biological control of plant pests and diseases. The objective of the present work was to identify the insect pest population in the cucumber crop after foliar application of effective microorganisms (EM). The experiment was carried out in a rural family farm located in the city of São Sebastião-AL. Yellow (4) and blue (4) adhesive plates were used in a usable area of ​​128.8 m2. EM was diluted at a concentration of 4.7% and the applied dose was 50 mL/plant. Six collections were carried out, from December 2020 to February 2021. The individuals sampled were screened and identified at the level of class, order, family and when identified as a pest, at the level of gender. A total of 1301 invertebrate individuals of the Insecta and Arachnida classes were collected. Of these, 55.11% were identified as pest insects and 44.8% as visiting arthropods. The taxon that presented the highest relative frequency was the order Diptera (30.6%) followed by the orders Hemiptera (25.4%), Hymenoptera (24%), Coleoptera (13%), Lepidoptera (5.7%), Araneae (0.8%) and Odonata (0.5%). The pests were representatives of the genera Diabrotica spp, Anastrepha spp, Myzus spp, Bemisia spp, Atta spp and Diaphania spp. 24.7% of the visiting arthropods were predators. The arthropod population increase occurred from the 40th day after planting, with growth peak at the 57th day.

A qualidade sanitária de sementes de alface (Lactuca sativa L.) é um atributo fundamental para garantir o estabelecimento da cultura e na redução dos custos da lavoura. Por isso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade sanitária e o efeito do tratamento térmico e biológico no controle de fungos fitopatogênicos associados a sementes de alface cultivar ‘Simpson’. A avaliação sanitária foi realizada por meio do método Blotter Test. Durante o térmico, as sementes foram submetidas a diferentes combinações de temperatura (45, 48 e 50º C) e tempo (25 e 30 min.) em banho-maria. Já, na realização do tratamento biológico, as sementes foram microbiolizadas com isolados de Bacillus methylotrophicus (MGSS B271, MGSS B272 e MGSS B273), B. amyloliquefaciens (MGSS B274) e B. thuringiensis (MGSS B275). Após os tratamentos, foi avaliada a incidência, o percentual de controle dos patógenos e a porcentagem de germinação das sementes. No teste de sanidade das sementes de alface, Aspergillus fumigatus foi a espécie com maior incidência. O tratamento térmico a 48º C/ 25 min e 51 ºC/ 30 min, e o biológico com os isolados MGSS B271, MGSS B273 e MGSS B275 foram os mais eficientes no controle de fungos fitopatogênicos associados às sementes de alface.

Food plants are those that have one or more parts or products that can be used in food, such as: roots, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, stalks, leaves, shoots, flowers, fruits and seeds or even latex, resin and gum, or that are used to obtain edible oils and fats. Many plants are called "weeds" or "weeds" because they grow among the cultivated plants; however, they are species with great ecological and economic importance. These plants, called PANC'S (Unconventional food plants), term first used by Kinupp & Lorenzi to describe this type of neglected plant, can be alternative sources of nutrients, especially vitamins and minerals. The objective of this investigation was to gather information in the literature about the Non-Conventional Food Plants and what potential exists in the caatinga, the biome of the Pernambuco Agreste, connecting the results found with the academic community's understanding of this vegetation and the level of acceptance of their consumption. The work was divided into three stages: a bibliographic survey in the digital platforms Scholar Google (Google Scholar) and SciELO, two exploratory exhibitions, and a form (Google Forms) with some questions. From the results obtained in the questionnaire, it is clear that there is widespread knowledge about PANCs, considering that of the 98 responses, the analyzed ones had an average above 50%.

Common-use resources produce goods that combine characteristics of both private and public goods, making the management of these resources more complex. The Costa dos Corais Environmental Protection Area (APA) was established between the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco with the main objective of conserving coral reefs, seeking to organize economic activities that use common resources in its area of ​​influence. This paper presents an analysis of the contributions of APA Costa dos Corais to sustainable development in the North Coast region of Alagoas, which comprises the municipalities of Passo de Camaragibe, São Miguel dos Milagres, Porto de Pedras, Japaratinga and Maragogi, whose economies exploit the resources of the Beach Zone (ZP) and the Visitation Zones (ZV), better known as natural pools. In addition to the socio-economic and environmental characterization, we characterized the environmental governance organizations and institutions operating in the region, using secondary and primary data from semi-structured interviews. We conclude that the implementation of the APA Costa dos Corais generated a great benefit to local socio-biodiversity by regulating and disciplining socioeconomic activities, exerting a strong influence on the municipalities covered, in view of the role played by the main manager of the APA, ICMBio Costa of the Corals, for two reasons: the quality of its bureaucracy compensates the weakness of municipal and state governments in the environmental management of the region, and the polycentric nature of its management, shared with all socioeconomic segments involved, corroborated by the high degree of legitimacy of the agency expressed by the interviewees.

It is known that in women there are a predominance of the sexual hormones estradiol and progesterone responsible for characterizing physical aspects, regulating behaviors and guiding menopause, in addition to these, testosterone plays an important role in the psychological field being associated with sleep and libido. At adequate levels, testosterone helps in general well-being, however, its excess and deficiency characterize atypical states that can compromise the quality of life of both men and women. The research is characterized by being an integrative review from the available literature, this methodology includes experimental and non-experimental studies, which allows the construction of a rich panorama about the subject under analysis. The sample consisted of 10 articles captured in the Scientific Eletronic Library (ScIELO), Researchgat, ScienceDirect and UTFPR Scientific Journals. Subsequently, the theoretical instrumentalization was an analysis of the contents that allowed grouping into four topics that were discussed: Clinical Treatment, Relationship between Hormones and Sports Competitions, Disability and Gender Issues. It is worth noting that the predominant methodology in the studies was the descriptive approach. It was concluded that studies about testosterone need an approach that goes beyond the biologizing view between bodies of men and women, with the importance of the hormone explained by the clinical benefits of its use and dynamics in different contexts.

Adolescence is the stage of life that requires a differentiated attention, because it is in this phase that physiological transformations, personality formation, adaptations and the beginning of adult life take place. The objective of this survey was to know through the current literature what the challenges of the nurse in the prenatal care of pregnant adolescentes are. It is an integrative bibliographic review, made in the LILACS (Scientific and Technical Literature of Latin America and the Caribbean); SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online); and Virtual Health Library (VHL); including works in Portuguese, available in the research bases from 2014 to 2020 and the sample totaled 11 articles. It was observed that adolescents, because they are not prepared for motherhood, have difficulties in accepting pregnancy, absence of Family support also interferes in the assistance offered by the nurse, they are more inclined to start late prenatal care and their capture is more difficult for health professionals. Prenatal care has been improved over the years, but there are still several factors that make care more difficult. The role of the nurse is Paramount in prenatal care, since he is the professional who best establishes the bond with pregnant women. Thus we conclude that they must be prepared for situations that demand greater performance from them, especially from this public that rarely attends UBS.
