Abstract In this work, vapor - liquid (VLE) equilibrium for the binary system carbon dioxide (1) + coumarin (2) at high pressures was measured by a static synthetic method using a variable-volume view cell. Experimental data were obtained in the temperature range of 318 - 338 K and pressures up to 20 MPa. Coumarin molar fraction ranged from 3.0x10-3 to 6.0x10-3. Coumarin melting point reduction at high pressures was observed. The experimental results were modeled using the Peng-Robinson (PR) equation of state with van der Waals quadratic mixing rules (vdW - QMRs), providing a good representation of the experimental phase equilibrium data. Critical properties and the acentric factor were estimated using the Constantinou and Gani method, which showed to be satisfactory on the quality of data correlation. Results indicate coumarin solubility increases with increasing phase transition pressure at a given temperature.

Resumo: Devido à nova lei internacional de padrões éticos, saber o que os contadores e estudantes de contabilidade percebem como ético é de extrema importância. Uma pesquisa online com 29 questões foi conduzida no MS/Brasil com diferentes cenários, envolvendo diferentes aspectos que podem influenciar a decisão de alguém, para avaliar a aceitação de comportamentos antiéticos. Os resultados mostraram diferenças entre a percepção ética dos estudantes e contadores, mas a diferença foi maior baseada no gênero.

Abstract: Due to the new international ethics standards law, knowing what Brazilian accountants and accounting students perceive as ethical is extremely important. An online survey with 29 questions was conducted in MS/Brazil with different scenarios, involving different aspects that may influence someone’s decision, to assess the acceptance of unethical behaviors. The results showed difference in the ethics perception by students and accountants, but the difference was greater based on gender.

Resumo Objetivo Avicennia schaeuriana é uma das seis espécies que compõem as florestas de mangue do Brasil e formam franjas de mangue ao longo dos cursos d’água, sendo diretamente influenciadas pela maré. As raízes do mangue A. schaeuriana atuam como um dos microhábitats utilizados pela biodiversidade de invertebrados do ecossistema estuarino. Este estudo objetivou inventariar a malacofauna associada às raízes de Avicennia schaueriana em um estuário hipersalino e inverso, destacando variações na abundância e diversidade ao longo de um gradiente de salinidade e em períodos sazonais distintos. Métodos Foram delimitadas três estações amostrais ao longo do curso do estuário. Em cada estação foram posicionados 3 transectos de 10 metros paralelos a margem e para cada um deles foram sorteados previamente 3 pontos amostrais aleatórios e em cada ponto foram obtidas 3 amostras de raízes de A. schaueriana. Um total de 108 amostras foram acondicionadas em sacos plásticos contendo formol a 4% e posteriormente passaram por processo de triagem e identificação dos espécimes associados até o menor nível taxonômico possível. Resultados Uma abundância total de 171 indivíduos foi registrada, distribuída entre 10 espécies, 7 famílias e 9 gêneros, das classes Bivalvia e Gastropoda. A abundância dos espécimes diferiu entre os períodos sazonais e entre as estações de amostragem ao longo do gradiente de salinidade. Conclusões A maior riqueza de espécies e abundância de organismos no período chuvoso permite inferir sobre a importância do ciclo hidrológico estuarino na regulação da biodiversidade deste ambiente. O presente estudo evidencia a importância da manutenção e proteção das florestas de mangue compostas por A. schaueriana, bem como a necessidade da realização de estudos mais aprofundados.

Abstract Aim Avicennia schaeuriana is one of the six species that composes the mangrove forests of Brazil and form mangrove fringes along waterways. The mangrove-roots of the A. schaeuriana act as one of the microhabitats used by the invertebrate biodiversity of the estuarine ecosystem. The present note aimed to inventory the malacofauna associated with roots of Avicennia schaueriana of the hypersaline and inverse estuary, highlighting variations in abundance and diversity along a salinity gradient and different seasonal periods. Methods Three sampling stations were delineated along the course of the estuary. At each station 3 transects of 10 meters were placed, and for each of them 3 sample points were selected, and at each point 3 samples of roots of A. schaueriana were obtained. A total of 108 samples were stored in plastic bags containing 4% formaldehyde and subsequently passed through a screening process, with identification of the associated specimens with the lowest possible taxonomic level. Results A total of 171 specimens was recorded, belonging to 10 species, 7 families, and 9 genera of the Bivalvia and Gastropoda classes. The abundance of the specimens differed between the seasonal periods analyzed. Conclusions The highest species richness and abundance of organisms in the rainy period allows inferences about the importance of the estuarine water cycle in regulating the biodiversity of these environments. Thus, the importance of the maintenance and protection of the mangrove forests composed of A. schaueriana, as well as the need for more in-depth studies becomes evident.

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir os resultados do primeiro Fórum Municipal de Humanização, usado como estratégia de educação permanente para trabalhadores da Atenção Básica. Os trabalhadores foram divididos em grupos para discussão de uma situação-problema e para, assim, buscar estratégias para efetivação da Política Nacional de Humanização. Participaram 71 profissionais de saúde, além de residentes e acadêmicos. Concluiu-se que o Fórum mostrou-se importante instrumento de educação permanente, instigando os profissionais a participar ativamente das discussões, com o intuito de construir e reconstruir processos de trabalho para desenvolver atenção integral aos usuários.

ABSTRACT The objective of this work is to discuss the results of the first Municipal Forum of Humanization, used as a permanent education strategy for Primary Health Care workers. The workers were divided into groups to discuss the problem-situation and, therefore, search for strategies for the establishing of the National Humanization Policy. Participants included 71 health professionals, as well as residents and academics. It was concluded that the Forum was an important instrument of permanent education, instigating the professionals to actively participate in discussions, with the purpose of building and rebuilding work processes to develop integral care to users.

Abstract Production of a bioherbicide for biological control of weeds requires a series of steps, from selection of a suitable microbial strain to final formulation. Thus, this study aimed to select fungi for production of secondary metabolites with herbicidal activity using biological resources of the Brazilian Pampa biome. Phytopathogenic fungi were isolated from infected tissues of weeds in the Pampa biome. A liquid synthetic culture medium was used for production of metabolites. The phytotoxicity of fungal metabolites was assessed via biological tests using the plant Cucumis sativus L., and the most promising strain was identified by molecular analysis. Thirty-nine fungi were isolated, and 28 presented some phytotoxic symptoms against the target plant. Fungus VP51 belonging to the genus Diaporthe showed the most pronounced herbicidal activity. The Brazilian Pampa biome is a potential resource for the development of new and sustainable chemical compounds for modern agriculture.

AbstractThe urban environment can be strongly affected by the increased number of displacements that emerge from a trip generating development hub, and so a measuring tool is needed for these variations, indicating where they occurred with a greater intensity. This can guide the government when investing in local transport. This paper proposes location quality indicators and uses them to measure the impact of the new Industrial Port Complex of Suape in Pernambuco, which is considered to be trip generator territory. Data from the 1997 OD survey, prior to the existence of the complex, has been used in comparison with the 2010 Census, once the industries were in place. Clearly the complex installation brought great changes, not only to its immediate location, but also for the entire metropolis. Displacements towards this area have greatly intensified in number and average travel time. The accessibility index for the locals has greatly improved, and their per capita income shows its greatest variation between the years 2000 and 2010, suggesting that local workers have been absorbed by the industry, comprising an important step towards sustainable development and social inclusion.
