1. Capoeira: hypothesis on health rehabilitation and quality-of-life maintenance
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this work was to present hypotheses supporting capoeira as an activity aimed at health rehabilitation and maintenance of quality of life. METHODS: Capoeira players (n=245), residing in Brazil and abroad, were evaluated for quality of life (physical, social, psychological, and environmental domains from WHOQOL-bref). The capoei

2. Microplastics in Latin America Ecosystems: A Critical Review of the Current Stage and Research Needs
The ubiquity of microplastics ecosystems has gained global attention. In this context, Latin America, which is responsible for 8% of the world’s consumption of plastic material and has a small recycling rate (4.5%), does not have enough data on microplastics contamination in its environmental matrices. This systematic review analyzed 196 studies from 16 te

3. Flexible pavement with mining waste proposal - execution and analysis of an experimental section
Abstract The extraction of iron ore has a fundamental role in the Brazilian economy. However, such activity generates considerable volumes of waste whose disposal, even if regulated and licensed, has a significant environmental impact. The worldwide concern for sustainable practices along with the urgency for measures to mitigate environmental damage, justif

4. Exergy and emergy: complementary tools for assessing the environmental sustainability use of biosolids generated in wastewater-treatment plant for energy-production
Taking advantage of the energy contained in the biosolids generated in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is one of the processes of greatest interest due to the opportunity to obtain an energy resources from a waste. The aim of this research was to analyze the environmental sustainability use of biosolids generated in a wastewater-treatment plant for energ

5. Nitrogen Oxides Levels in the Atmosphere of Different Brazilian Urban Centers, by Passive Sampling
Urban air pollution is still an emerging environmental problem, it causes damage to health and is difficult to be controlled in urban centers. The population of large metropolises is often exposed to concentrations of nitrogen oxides (NOx), mainly due to vehicle emissions. Epidemiological studies claim that exposure to these oxides is strongly correlated wit

6. Fuzzy Modelling to Describe the Pollutant Concentration in Fluids
ABSTRACT The study of the concentration dynamics of a pollutant substance in a fluid is a classic problem of fluid mechanics given by the transport equation u t + cu x = 0, where u = u(x,t) denotes the pollutant concentration along a horizontal pipe of a fixed cross-section in the positive x direction at he time t > 0 and c represents the fluid propagation

7. Evaluation of sediment contamination by urban sewage in a stretch of Capibaribe River, Pernambuco, Brazil
Anthropic activities are responsible for the increase in environmental contamination, especially in aquatic systems, demanding studies to assess and monitor contamination levels in different water bodies. We have done a chemical characterization of eleven sediments in order to evaluate the level of contamination by domestic sewage from the Capibaribe River,

8. Offspring of mothers with bipolar disorder: a systematic review considering personality features
Objective: To examine personality/temperament features and mental health vulnerability in offspring of mothers with bipolar disorders (BD), including dimensions which may impact psychological characteristics or therapeutic measures. Methods: A systematic review, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidel

9. Proposal of an obesity classification based on weight history: an official document by the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (SBEM) and the Brazilian Society for the Study of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome (ABESO)
ABSTRACT Obesity is a chronic disease associated with impaired physical and mental health. A widespread view in the treatment of obesity is that the goal is to normalize the individual's body mass index (BMI). However, a modest weight loss (usually above 5%) is already associated with clinical improvement, while weight losses of 10%-15% bring even further be

11. Monthly variation in diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and survival outcome in children and adults: 15-year trends at a single center
ABSTRACT Background: The date of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) diagnosis has been studied regarding potential etiologic roles with contrasting results and the issue remains controversial. The principal aim of this study was to analyze monthly variation of ALL diagnosis in a large homogenous Hispanic Latin American cohort over 15 years; its association

12. Effects of the addition of graphene on the compressive strength of geopolymeric mortar developed from k-feldspar mining waste
Abstract Contemporary organizations are showing a growing interest in the reuse of solid waste from industrial processes with the intention of reducing environmental impacts and reducing costs. The mining activity is one of the main waste generators in Brazil. In parallel, geopolymeric materials have been gaining prominence in studies that make it a possible
