A coturnicultura é uma atividade que pode ser realizada de forma rústica e ocupando pouco espaço. As codornas são de rápido crescimento, baixo consumo de alimentação, rápido retorno e com dois produtos para o mercado, ovos e carne. Objetivou-se com esse estudo o efeito da inclusão de óleo funcional de copaíba na alimentação de codornas japonesas. Foram utilizados 126 codornas com idade de 144 dias, fêmeas, da linhagem japonesa alojados em gaiolas de arame galvanizados com dimensões 33 cm × 25 cm × 20 cm. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com 3 tratamentos e 6 repetições de 7 animais cada. Os tratamentos constituíram de ração controle (base de milho e farelo de soja), ração controle com inclusão de óleo funcional de copaíba e ração controle com antibióticos. Foram avaliados os efeitos das dietas experimentais sobre os parâmetros de qualidade de ovos, bioquímica sanguínea e análises da biometria óssea ao final de três ciclos de 21 dias cada. Dentre os resultados obtidos com a inclusão do óleo funcional de copaíba, análise de qualidade de ovos resultou em valores significativos para peso de albúmen, % gema, pH gema e cor; para bioquímica sérica os dados mostraram-se significativos para fósforo, cálcio, proteínas totais, glicose, amilase, TGO e TGP; enquanto para os dados da biometria óssea apenas tíbia demostrou significância para peso. Concluindo que o óleo funcional de copaíba interfere nos parâmetros de qualidade de ovos, sanguíneos e ósseos de codornas em postura.

In the present approach, we strategically use the Junina triad (named corn, coconut, and peanut husks) in an ambient remediation system for different textile reactive dyes. The remediation of Procion Yellow H-E 3G and Acid red 114 dyes by the Janina triad was conducted from the statistical treatment (24). The XRD analyses revealed the presence of the amorphous carbonaceous nature of the biomasses, which are mainly composed of carbon and oxygen, typical of fibrous surfaces, such as the biomasses used, according to the SEM-EDS analysis. FTIR analysis of the biomasses exhibited the presence of a variety of oxygenated and electron-rich functional groups, which were useful for the remediation of dyes. Statistical optimization showed that the solution pH is the effect that most influences in the adsorption of the two dyes by the Junina triad. On the other hand, a high removal percentage of Procion Yellow H-E 3G and Acid red 114 was observed in the first 5 min of adsorption, especially in experiment 13 (for the corn and coconut husks in the Procion Yellow H-E 3G removal), as well as experiments 1 and 13 (for the peanut and coconut husks in the Acid red 114 remediation, respectively. Finally, we highlight the advanced adsorptive properties presented by the Junina triad for the use in environmental samples, whose removal efficiency values varied between: (i) 87.04–97.94% for the Procion Yellow H-E 3G and 85.53–95.09% for the Acid red 114 by the corn husk; (ii) 44.30–75.52% and 90.73–92.16% in the Procion Yellow H-E 3G and Acid red 114 removal, respectively, by the coconut husk; and (iii) 81.50–86.61% (Procion Yellow H-E 3G) and 60.36–65.65% (Acid red 114) using the peanut husk.

La presente investigación forma parte de una mayor cuyo propósito principal fue generar conocimiento acerca de una parte del corpus de bienes culturales artísticos que tutela el Museo de La Plata. Se planteó documentar este patrimonio y profundizar en el estudio del especialista del fondo, para sustentar la colección con contenido histórico y artístico, además de darle ubicuidad tempo-espacial en la Historiografía del arte local y nacional. Para ello se trabajó de manera interdisciplinaria acoplando los aportes con contenidos históricos, teóricos, metodológicos y técnicos de la Historia del Arte y la Museología. En el marco de este corpus se analiza la única pintura mural al óleo (1,86 x 3,28 m) del artista Pablo Matzel (-1926), realizada para el Museo de La Plata: El Mastodonte y los Gliptodontes (ca. 1921). El análisis de la respectiva obra avanza sobre las dimensiones históricas y culturales de la representación de la fauna prehistórica, rescatando las situaciones que convocaron el encuentro del motivo con el público. La obra de Matzel, cuyos trabajos se reconocen principalmente en el campo de la ilustración científica, se inscribe en la tradición naturalista y se enmarca en la colección del Museo, que impone una lectura de las representaciones en la articulación entre ciencia y arte. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, todo museo que se preciara de tal debía contar con ejemplares de los gigantescos mamíferos fósiles procedentes de la América del Sur. El Museo de La Plata ostentaba una importante variedad de restos fósiles de los verdaderos gigantes que la provincia de Buenos Aires podía ofrecer al mundo. La obra estudiada amplía esta dimensión material al presentarse como un lugar donde observar la construcción y circulación de múltiples y diversos saberes.

Este trabalho relata uma caracterização completa de bagaço de laranja. O processamento da laranja para extração do suco gera o bagaço como resíduo agroindustrial que representa cerca de 50 % do volume total do fruto, composto por casca, semente e polpa. Seu uso, atualmente, consiste em aplicações de baixo valor agregado, como queima e adição à ração animal. O setor de energia renovável tem crescido em volume e importância nos últimos anos, por isso, é fundamental que o setor traga valor agregado e melhores usos para os resíduos industriais. O primeiro passo para isso é conhecer a composição desse resíduo que muitas vezes está sendo queimado em sua totalidade. Neste trabalho, análises químicas foram realizadas utilizando padrões TAPPI e NREL específicos para materiais lignocelulósicos e mostraram que o resíduo de laranja contém, em massa seca, 2,9 ± 0,2 % de cinzas, 12,3 ± 0,9 % de umidade, 37,3 ± 0,9 % de extrativos em água (o melhor solvente testado), 38,5± 2,0 % de holocelulose, 33,1 ± 1,5 % de celulose, 5,4 ± 2,0 % de hemicelulose e 2,9 ± 0,5 % de lignina. A composição química permite o aproveitamento do material lignocelulósico e da lignina do bagaço, das proteínas e do óleo essencial das cascas, proporcionando um aproveitamento com maior valor agregado aos resíduos, com benefícios econômicos e ambientais. Para isso, essa caracterização completa do material é essencial.

Produced water management is a significant challenge for the oil and gas industry. Due to the large volumes and complex composition of this water, treatment requires special attention, resulting in high costs for companies in the sector. Naphthenic acids, known for their recalcitrance, add a layer of complexity to the treatment process. Benzoic acid, a simple aromatic carboxylic acid, has been extensively studied due to its structural similarity to naphthenic acids, highlighting its importance in developing treatment strategies. Advanced oxidative processes, such as UV/H 2 O 2 , have emerged as promising alternatives for the degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants. This study aims to enhance the UV/H 2 O 2 process through experiments, kinetic mechanisms, and mathematical models that allow the simulation of various experimental conditions, providing a clearer and more economical approach to produced water treatment in the oil and gas industry. The results indicate that the oxidation of benzoic acid by the UV/H 2 O 2 process achieved removals between 12.29 and 83.56% in a batch reactor over 120 min. Additionally, the influence of solution pH and H 2 O 2 concentration was significant, with better removal rates observed at pH 3. The molar extinction coefficient of benzoic acid was also found to be pH-dependent, indicating a greater photon absorption capacity at lower pH. The mathematical model developed for the UV/H 2 O 2 process accurately predicted experimental data and process variable effects, offering valuable insights into reaction kinetics and the influence of experimental conditions., Competing Interests: Declarations.

The gall-host Eugenia uniflora (Myrtaceae) is adaptable to different light conditions, enabling leaf production and survival in both sun and shade. Leaves of E. uniflora in shaded environments have more mesophyll layers, and galls of Clinodiplosis profusa (Cecidomyiidae) are larger and wider. Based on these previous observations, this study investigated the morphogenesis of galls induced by C. profusa on leaves of E. uniflora in different light conditions, revealing if the galls have a potential for acclimation, as observed with leaves. For this purpose, we compared the anatomical, histometric, and histochemical development of leaves and galls at different stages of development in sun and shade environments. Additionally, we analyzed the cytological features of the tissues composing the mature gall walls. Cells of shade galls expanded more toward the end of the developmental phase, which may explain the larger volume found for shade galls in a previous study. However, during the mature phase, these galls showed no significant differences in tissue thickness and final cell elongation in the contrasting light conditions. In the ultrastructural analyses, mature galls showed a gradient distinguishing the outer and inner parenchyma cells. The inner parenchyma had nutritive cells, with dense cytoplasm and abundant organelles. A higher accumulation of starch grains in nutritive cells, with evidence of hydrolysis of starch grains detected in the innermost layers leads to the accumulation of reducing sugars, which, with the presence of plastoglobules and protein bodies, are important mechanisms of oxidative stress dissipation in the cells in contact with the gall inducer., Competing Interests: Declarations.
