This article presents a study carried out with the purpose of identifying the teaching practices of cartography with digital technologies, characterizing the way in which digital technologies are used by teachers working in geography in the schools of Military College System of Brazil. Based on bibliographical research in scientific databases, practices in the use of digital technologies considered relevant in the teaching of cartography were identified. From the results of this research and with a view to its exploration, semi-directive interviews were carried out with high school teachers. It was found that the interviewed teachers take advantage of the possibilities of digital technologies through different practices and strategies in their use in the teaching of cartography. It is noteworthy that, in addition to fulfilling the educational objectives contained in the curriculum documents, the view of teachers reveals their concern with meaningful learning for their students.

Objective: To understand the contribution of urban forestry to the promotion of public security through a systematic integrative review of studies involving the relationship between urban forestry and crime. Methodology: The documents were extracted from the Web of Science database and analyzed using consolidated meta-analytical theory (CMAT). Relevance: Brazil is a country with high urbanization rates, where large cities have visible social inequality and high environmental degradation. Urban forestry provides ecosystem services that can mitigate various problems in the urban environment. However, there are few studies on the social aspects of urban vegetation. Moreover, there are no studies on the contribution of forestry to the promotion of public safety in Brazil. Results: A total of 198 studies were found: 66% were published in the last five years, and their main language was English. The affiliations of the most prominent authors and research funding agencies are in the United States of America, which is also the country with the highest number of publications, 46.9%. The most cited article shows that trees with tall crowns and low vegetation contribute to a reduction in crime. The main research fronts denote an interest in understanding the social aspects of urban forestry. Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study fills a gap by presenting a theoretical overview of studies related to urban forestry and crime using CMAT. Social contributions: This study is intended to spark novel discussions in Brazil on the role of urban forestry in the promotion of public security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the last decade, Brazil started to stand out, worldwide, in the consumption of pesticides. Studies suggest that pesticides can damage human health, such as mental disorders, autism, depression, cancer and malformation, among others. The objective of this study was to analyze what is published in the literature on exposure to pesticides and damage to human DNA in rural residents. This is a narrative review of the literature, consisting of original articles that used the comet DNA assay, published between 2008 and 2019, in Lilacs, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and SpingerLink databases. The respective work was developed with 19 articles, which answered the guiding question, PubMed Central = 2; Web of Science = 2; Scopus = 4; Springer = 10; Lilacs = 1. The articles indicate that exposure to pesticides can cause damage to genetic material and it represents a potential health risk for rural residents who constantly work with pesticides. The literature also shows the risk of genetic damage associated with exposure to pesticides and the importance of assessing vulnerable populations to address and overcome the potential risk of genotoxicity induced by the respective substances.

Objective. To synthesize the findings on correlates of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) in South American children. Method. A search was carried out from June 24 to October 27, 2020, in the LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, Scopus and Web of Science databases. To broaden the search, the references of identified review articles were examined, and a panel of experts was surveyed. Observational and interventional studies conducted with South-American children from zero to 5 years of age were included. Results. Of 3 111 articles initially identified, 18 were eligible: 14 observational studies, 12 studies conducted in Brazil, and 17 studies investigating preschool children (3 to 5 years of age). In addition to Brazil, only Chile and Ecuador were represented. PA and SB were measured by accelerometers in seven studies; however, high variability was observed in the instruments and cut-off points used. Although children were classified as physically active in 12 studies, six studies showed that they spent considerable time in SB. Most studies assessed the individual (14 studies) and interpersonal (11 studies) domains, followed by the environmental (eight studies) and political (one study) domains. Interventions in the school context (four studies) increased PA levels and reduced the time spent in SB. However, the evidence from cross-sectional and interventional studies presented a high risk of bias. Conclusions. Given the knowledge gap identified in this review, studies with robust designs, covering additional South American countries are warranted, focusing on infants and children under 3 years of age and investigating correlates in the environmental and political domains.

Worldwide, conventional agriculture is seen as greenhouse gases (GHG) emitter. Conservation agriculture is capable of GHG mitigating and potentially carbon credits generating. This study aimed to analyze the normative aspects and perspectives for Brazilian agricultural carbon market regulation, through scientific and governmental databases. It was concluded that Brazil, despite the participation in international discussions and significant institutional and regulatory advances, lacks application and greater rigor in complying with environmental legislation related to GHG mitigation. Thus, the country has favorable conditions for an agricultural carbon market implementation. However, for this to become reality, it is necessary to increase public-private partnerships and more comprehensive regulatory policies for the various sector segments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The production of data sources has increased in recent years and making their treatment, retrieval and use operational becomes a challenge and a strategic differential for the nations that have this domain. Knowledge about Artificial Intelligence has been crucial for data processing and use, being considered decisive for economic and social development. This work aimed to survey research on Artificial Intelligence in Brazil. A comprehensive search expression was created, and related articles were obtained for the period 2011-2020 in the Web of Science database. Using bibliometric methods, the obtained records were analyzed using the software VantagePoint, VOSViewer, and Excel. An analysis was carried out regarding the participation of Brazilian research in relation to the world, the main Artificial Intelligence research institutions in the country, the main research topics, and the most active authors. Keyword cooccurrence networks, the collaboration between institutions and between authors were built. It was found that Brazil has a peripheral but increasing participation in relation to publications and that public institutions have a fundamental role in this production despite regional discrepancies, which could help in the development of public policies for technological inclusion.

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) belongs to the malvaceas family and is grown in all regions of Brazil. According to data from the Brazilian Association of Cotton Producers, Brazil occupies 4th place in the ranking of cotton production according to the 18/19 harvest. Because of this importance, this review aimed to carry out a bibliometric survey on cotton oil and flour and their applications. For this, a bibliometric analysis was carried out relating cotton, oil and flour in the Scopus and Web of Science databases in the years 1989-2019, and subsequently, the Web of Science data were analyzed using the VOSviewer program. The results showed that there were a total of 1525 research and reviews articles in the Scopus and Web of Science databases in the last three decades, and, based on the entire analysis, it was noticed that the studies of the last three decades are focused on separation area and biofuels, as well as that the Republic of China stands out among the most cited countries besides its universities. According to these results, it can be concluded that the Republic of China has a lot of influence in studies with cotton and more research is needed to use cotton and its derivatives in the food industry.

This article is part of an ongoing research. The research aims to analyze the national scientific production of Information Science, from 2010 to 2020, published in journals indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. In order to achieve the general objective, the following specific objectives were chosen: Analyze the scientific production of teachers\researchers from postgraduate programs in Information Science; Identify the most important themes approached in the scientific production of graduate programs in Brazil; Identify the most productive authors of each postgraduate program; Check collaboration in the area; Survey the titles of the most productive journals in the studied period; Characterize the most productive programs. It is a descriptive research with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative approach will use bibliometric and scientometric techniques to assist in measuring the researcher's productivity. When the scientific production was surveyed from 2010 to 2020 in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, 3,000 articles and reviews were found. So as to identify the main themes addressed, it was chosen to identify the keywords and the relevance in the studied period. 1,093 authors were found in the Web of Science database and in the Scopus database 6,886 authors who produced 2,206 articles and reviews in the period from 2010 to 2020. When verifying the existing collaboration in the area of Information Science in the period 2010-2020, there is an expressive institutional collaboration in the total academic production. Institutional collaboration corresponds to 34% of academic production. To survey the most productive journals in the period studied, publications in 48 journals were found in both databases. To characterize the most productive programs, the following references were adopted: year of beginning of the programs, number of teachers of the programs, areas of concentration of the programs, the stricto sensu postgraduate modalities of each program, the evaluation by CAPES of the master's and doctorate and the regional location. It was noted that there is a concentration of programs in the Southeast region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The practice of physical activity is important in the prevention of chronic diseases, and its investigation is valid to encourage healthy habits among teachers. This study aimed to identify factors associated with insufficient physical activity in Brazilian school teachers through an integrative review of articles published from 2009 to 2019 in the Lilacs, SciELO, DOAJ, PubMed, Dialnet, and Web of Science databases, through combinations of the exact descriptors and synonyms in English and Portuguese, using the terms "School Teachers", "Physical Activity", and "Brazil". Most teachers are insufficiently active and, among the factors associated with this condition, are overweight, high body mass, a higher percentage of fat, chronic pain, problems related to voice, smoking, and occupational factors, such as overwork, temporary contract, lack of autonomy, and standing time.

In the face of the detection of RNA of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in feces samples from infected patients, this article presents information about the advantages of using environmental modelling of sewage systems for mass diagnosis of COVID-19, especially in the Brazilian context. The literature review was conducted mainly in electronic scientific databases, including articles, technical reports, and national and international institutional publications. Although, so far, few studies have indicated the potential for SARS-CoV-2 contamination by sanitary sewage, the reported results showed that this question needs to be considered in health surveillance actions. The wastewater-based epidemiology has been used successfully to track and provide early warning of virus outbreaks. In Brazil, considering the increase in cases of COVID-19, the limitations of mass testing, and poor sanitation conditions, strengthening the surveillance of sewage systems may direct the actions of the Unified Health System and other sectors to face this pandemic. Accordingly, the use of modelling is opportune to simulate and estimate the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections, as well as the spread of the pandemic in a given area, constituting a complementary alternative to the clinical screening procedures, helping to promote better public health.

The study aims to identify how Fintechs are characterized as opportunities and threats for large financial institutions in Brazil. In order to understand and analyze aspects related to Fintechs, the research addresses topics aligned with the theme, such as the current economic context, the National Financial System and the startup scenario in Brazil. This study has a descriptive and qualitative character, in which data were collected from interviews with those responsible for financial institutions. The research showed that there is acceptance by large institutions to apply this model of Fintechs. It was also noted that there is a need for regulation of the sector so that it can grow more freely and thus can add to the country this technological wealth, however, analyzes the need to be less bureaucratic as the financial institutions operating in the market. The study's limitations were the presentation of a few cases in which it was not possible to interview more managers in other companies that are involved in some way with the organization's innovations. From this situation, further studies are suggested to cover other interesting points concerning the Fintechs business model. The study allowed us to understand how large companies already established in the financial market identify Fintechs and their business models. Identifying opportunities and threats and understanding this allows Fintechs to prepare for a competitive market and for large companies to understand how this model can be characterized as an ally. Regarding originality, several studies were developed within the financial market. However, when searching in scientific databases, the subject of Fintechs is little explored as well as the perception of its business model by other players in the sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this article is to present the professional trajectory of Opelina Rollemberg (1906-1966), considered one of the pioneers of Sergipe nursing, seeking to highlight the contributions of this nurse to the nursing training process in Sergipe and to discuss her professional contribution to the promotion health and in the historiographic context of Sergipe nursing. It is a documentary historical study, based on documentary and icnographic sources, as well as a bibliographic survey in scientific databases such as Scielo, Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Pubmed. Initially, there were vestiges of the history of his life, followed by the process of formation and professional activity in Brazil. She was a student at the Anna Nery School of Nursing, where she continued her teaching career at the School. However, it was invited by the National Department of Public Health to work in the State Public Health organization. When she returned to Sergipe, he contributed to the health care project guided by the National model. She was also the pioneer and manager of the first course of State Nurse-visitors. In this context it is possible to infer about a woman, teacher and nurse who has had her life dedicated to studies and has effectively contributed, as an educator, in the organization of public health sergipana and in other localities of the nation.
