The Just War Tradition has provided a framework for thinking about warfare for well over 2,000 years. While the exact details may vary a little, the core ideas are shared across religious and secular culture, underpinning international law. However, should responses to terrorist activity, or ‘hybrid’ attacks, perhaps involving predominantly nonlethal methods such as subversion, cyber, or economic attrition, really be regarded within such a framework, when many people would not consider such a context to represent war at all? This paper argues that despite its name, by concentrating on harm in a broader sense rather than its purely lethal manifestation, the type of moral reasoning that the Just War Tradition represents can actually be applied to a much broader set of contexts than might initially be imagined. This means that the Just War Tradition remains a useful guide even when the exact status of the situation may be considered unclear.

This paper proposes a commented Portuguese translation of Corpus Hermeticum IV (CH VI). The reference Greek text is that of Arthur Darby Nock and André-Jean Festugière, present in the edition by Ilaria Ramelli (Milano: Bompiani, 2014).

RESUMEN: La mixomicología es la ciencia del estudio de los mixomicetos. La segunda generación de mixomicólogos en Brasil comenzó en el siglo XX, con el Dr. Geraldo Mariz y la naturalista Laise de Holanda Cavalcanti Andrade, en la Universidad Federal de Pernambuco. La tesis de maestría, de esta última, puede considerarse el punto de partida de la segunda generación de la mixomicología brasileña. Este artículo llena un vacío en la historia de la mixomicología brasileña. Se realizó un análisis documental, con el objetivo de describir, el logro de la mixomicología en Brasil. El curriculum vitae de ese naturalista, fue la principal fuente documental. La formación intelectual de investigadores, biólogos y profesores; la cantidad y calidad de los proyectos de investigación, realizados bajo la guía del investigador en cuestión, demuestran su importancia para la docencia e investigación sobre Myxomycetes en el país.

Como resultado de esto, la mixomicología brasileña ha ganado importancia para la conservación de la biodiversidad en el país. KEYWORDS: Historia, Mixomicologia, LABMIX, universidad.

Offshore platforms are floating structures, located in the sea, which can carry out drilling and production activities, in some cases, storage and transfer. For the proper development of the activities of the operators, the platform must remain in balance. If there is any movement, that these movements are within tolerable limits. The movements of vessels are mainly caused by environmental actions: ocean current, wind and ocean wave. For the mapping of movements, several sensors are installed in the structures in order to obtain more accurate information, having in many cases, more than one sensor mapping the same information. In order to read this information, acquisition systems must be connected to computers so that the correct interpretation of what is being measured can be performed. The use of Arduino has grown in recent years due to the possibility of using it with sensors and the associated low cost. In this way, this work proposes the use of an Arduino system and MPU6050 (sensor with gyroscope and accelerometer) to map gyres on offshore platforms for didactic purposes. The implementation of the code for reading the information from the accelerometer and the gyroscope is carried out and it is verified that the results obtained are consistent with the movements that were imposed. It is concluded, then, the feasibility of use for mapping the turn of a platform.

For a long time vigorous in Brazil or patriarchal family model, being a woman considered as man's property and having some fundamental rights, such as freedom, mitigated and controlled by a sexist sexist society. Despite the social movements that have been achieved through the guarantee of diverse rights and State protection of life in women, the feeling of power of the male sex over the female sex causes various forms of violence. This research has as main objective to analyze the role of Alagoas entities in combating the crime of femicide in the capital of Maceió.

A escolha do curso superior apresenta diversos desafios, que vão desde às expectativas daprópria família e do futuro graduando com relação ao curso escolhido, à área que o ingressante irátrabalhar e as motivações durante a sua formação, dentre isto o curso de Engenharia Química é umaalternativa entre os diversos cursos superiores existentes no país. Logo, neste contexto, esta pesquisaanalisou o perfil dos ingressantes no curso de Engenharia Química, em 2020, de uma Universidade doestado de Alagoas, bem como as motivações para tal escolha na mesma. Para isto, esta pesquisa utilizou ométodo qualitativo, por meio de um questionário, no qual foram feitas perguntas que possibilitassemesclarecer os objetivos da mesma, logo este trabalho conseguiu analisar o perfil dos ingressantes o qual amaioria deles foram mulheres pertencentes a faixa de 17 a 24 anos que escolheram o curso por suaidentificação, mesmo em sua maioria alegarem que mudariam de graduação se possuíssem a chance. Alémdisto, metade dos ingressantes mostraram escassez de conhecimento quanto as áreas associadas ao curso,seja ela por causa de má divulgação por parte da Universidade ou pela falta de desejo quanto à procura deinformações ligadas a área da Engenharia Química pelos estudantes

The nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii (Yang & Eisenback) is one of the main pathogens associated with the guava tree (Psidium guajava L.) in northeastern Brazil. Considering the frequency with which weeds are found in fruit production areas and their potential as phytonematode hosts, the aim of this study was to investigate the reaction of weeds to the parasitism of M. enterolobii. The species evaluated for nematode infection were Acanthospermum hispidum DC., Ageratum conyzoides L., Alternanthera tenella Colla., Amaranthus deflexus L., A. spinosus L., A. viridis L., Bidens pilosa L., Clitoria ternatea L., Datura stramonium L., Macroptilium lathyroides (L.) Urb., Merremia aegyptia (L.) Urb., Solanum americanum Mill., S. paniculatum L. and Spigelia anthelmia L. Of these, only six were classified as susceptible to the pathogen with factor breeding >1.0: S. paniculatum, S. americanum, B. pilosa, A. conyzoides, A. tenella, and M. aegyptia, fourspecies were resistant: S. anthelmia, M. lathyroides, C. ternatea, and D. stramonium and four species behaved as immune to the nematode: A. hispidum, A. deflexus, A. spinosus, and A. viridis. From the results obtained, it was found that weed species susceptible to M. enterolobii may pose a threat to the cultivation of guava, serving as a source of inoculum. Control measures in infested orchards should consider the hostability of these plants to the nematode in order to recommend their careful removal from the cultivated area.

Tucuxi, Sotalia fluviatilis is one of the species of river dolphins that occur in the Amazon basin. The species is insufficiently known by science, and completely lacking information for the state of Amapá. Given this fact, the work aims to verify the level of traditional knowledge of the local riverside community about the tucuxi boto, S. fluviatilis of the northern channel of the Amazon River, Amapá. Interviews took place with the resident population in the vicinity of the study area with the application of an interview form. Most of the interviewees frequently observed individuals from S. fluviatilis mainly in small groups, also stating that the tucuxi boto was much more frequent in the past. The displacement, jumping and feeding behaviors were the most reported. Thus, studies that support contemplating initiatives about the knowledge of key species, are essential for taking measures, aiming to optimize conservation strategies for this aquatic mammal in the State of Amapá.

RESUMO: As formigas lideram o espaço de seres considerados dotados de uma extraordinária capacidade de adaptação a qualquer ambiente, com estratégias de sobrevivência baseadas numa divisão de trabalho entre a colônia, que atrai atenção para diversas pesquisas e descobertas científicas. Sendo assim, o trabalho teve como objetivo realizar a observação do comportamento alimentar de formigas em ambientes domésticos nas cidades de Arapiraca e Major Isidoro, em Alagoas, mediante a oferta de atrativos: mel, açúcar e formitol (inseticida) como iscas. Foram elaboradas armadilhas em forma de “fitas” com diferentes tamanhos (10cm, 12cm e 20 cm) em superfícies lisas e em turnos distintos para atraí-las. Ao observar o comportamento das formigas, foram identificadas três espécies diferentes de formigas nos locais da pesquisa: Formiga fantasma (Tapinoma melanocephalu); Formiga louca (Paratrechina longicornis) e Formiga argentina (Linepithema humile). Esta última apareceu em maior quantidade (64,4%) dos 414 indivíduos identificados ao total. As formigas apresentaram maior índice de permanência e quantidade de indivíduos no turno da noite, o índice de tempo e quantidade foram moderados no turno da tarde, e menor índice de permanência e quantidade foi no turno da manhã. Concluiu-se que a finalidade do estudo foi alcançada, de acordo com as observações feitas através das variáveis (o ambiente, a identificação das espécies, a preferência alimentar das formigas e a estimativa do tempo de permanência em torno do alimento).  

ABSTRACT: This article aims to synthesize the scientific knowledge produced on the prevalence of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases in elderly people aged 60 years or over, living in Northeast of Brazil. It is an integrative literature review, in which Medline, Lilacs and Scielo databases were consulted in October 2020, selecting studies published between 2000 and 2020. Initially, the search for productions resulted in 259 productions and from the establishment of the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the corpus of this review consisted of 12 articles. The main results showed a higher prevalence of NCDs in females, the most prevalent diseases were arterial hypertension, diabetes, osteoarthritis and mental disorders, which had a significant association with sociodemographic variables and the health conditions of the elderly population. In addition, it was observed that publications on the subject are scarce. Thus, it is hoped to promote an understanding of the prevalence of NCDs in elderly people in the Northeast, as well as the development of further studies on the subject is suggested.
