The difficulties of implementing Law No. 12990/2014 in federal universities have been calling the attention of the scientific community. In this regard, the present study sought to understand how its implementation took place at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The information was collected directly from the institution's tender website. As a result, it was possible to identify that the combination of institutional racism and the ideology of merit prevented the proper application of the norm. On the other hand, the non-observance of the existing legal provisions that guarantee the maximum effectiveness of the norm can also be seen. The grammar of institutional racism follows precise tracks and the hiring of only one black faculty member demonstrates its vector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Restraint and threat of predation are possibly the most stressful events in wild animals' lives. Management techniques should, therefore, be improved to avoid or minimize suffering in such situations. Body mass and variation in behavior influence the techniques used during containment. Automatic traps are mostly used for small primates living in the lower canopy, while remotely delivered chemical immobilization is the recommended technique for larger primates, which live in the upper canopy. For both methods, careful physical restraint after the capture of the animal is essential. The use of equipment and materials that ensure biosecurity is imperative, as is choosing the most appropriate location for the collection of biological samples. Storage and transport must also be carried out in an adequate manner so as not to impair the samples. Here, therefore, we seek to describe capture, containment, and biological sample collection techniques with the intention of minimizing risks and increase success in the capture of Neotropical primates.

Climate change poses a serious threat to the development of the current and future generations. Therefore, Carbon Dioxide Capture, Transportation, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has emerged as an essential tool to mitigate such impacts of global warming along with other initiatives and strategic decisions such as energy transition and conservation, sustainable practices amongst others. This article is focused on the CCUS practices and more specifically the peculiarities of CCUS vis-à-vis the standardization rules at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The main question this article aims to address is to determine if CCUS should have its own standing technical committee (TC) or if it should be somehow related to the existing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technical committee.

The present study aimed to analyze the participation of the government of Piauí in the bottom-up funding of sport and leisure public policies from 2013 to 2017, embracing four aspects: (1) comparison of expenditure with tax revenue; (2) comparison of expenditure with other social agendas, notably Social Assistance and Culture; (3) identifying the spending behavior regarding subfunctions; (4) analyzing the efficiency in resource liquidation comparatively. Quantitative data were collected from the National Treasure website and submitted to descriptive statistics. In a conclusive manner, the study indicated that: (a) state government expenditure with the SLF is far shorter than the estimated by the II National Sport Conference; (b) expenditure has not followed the positive revenue variation during the period; (c) when compared to Social Assistance and Culture, Sport and Leisure has been the less considered area on the government’s agenda; (d) there has been an abrupt chance in the government’s agenda towards performance sport; (e) the government acts in an efficient way regarding the liquidation of planned resources.

In recent years, important studies on the participation of municipalities in the expenses with the Sport and Leisure Function (SLF) have been published in Brazil, but little is known regarding variables affecting its results. For that matter, the present study aimed to verify the existence of a norm, in the scope of the organic law, capable of explaining the behavior of expenses with the SLF by municipalities from Piauí. The sample was composed of 44,64% (100) of municipalities in Piauí (224). The majority of the sample does not acknowledge the subject as an important one among other private competences (94%) and with full effectiveness (96%). Unlike the behavior of these two legislative classes, out of all municipalities that have not presented norms for the dealing with the subject, 1/3 has expended for 15 years. The organic law was not a good predictor of the behavior of expenses with the SLF by municipalities from Piauí. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A full human development implicates the constant improvement of population's well-being. Among actions that affect this, are sports and leisure activities. In this manner, the present study established the following objectives: (a) verifying if cumulative investments since 2002 had an impact on the enhancing of Human Development Index (HDI) identified in the 2010 PNUD's report; (b) verifying if the 2010 HDI has improved per capita investments in the Sport and Leisure Function (SLF) from 2011/2012, when compared to SLF from 2002. The analysis of averages and medians allowed us to conclude cumulative investments have not helped explaining the improvement in HDI from 2010; the raising in per capita investments in 2011/2012 in the SLF cannot be justified by the improvement presented by municipalities in Piauí regarding 2010 HDI. Thus, HDI is not a variable capable of explaining investments in public sports and leisure policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
