The objective is to identify the relationship between the characteristics that formed the PNRS based on the sociopolitical determinants and economic interests that have been present in two decades of legislative resolutions to date. For this purpose, we recomposed the history of the PNRS processing in the Federal Congress with the support of field research with the mapped actors. The aim was to understand how a law goes through a long period of time for approval without resulting in satisfactory regulations regarding better management of Brazilian solid waste. Next, we examine whether the sectors responsible for the legal determination known as shared responsibility are responding to legal determinations given the importance of a law that will soon complete 15 years of its approval. In view of this, the aim is to identify and characterize the socio environmental conflicts embedded in the legal obligation of the PNRS, in view of the economic interests of the industrial sector and, notably, how such conflicts streamline or hinder decision – making between the Public Power and business representation entities. Finally, we delve into the factors that the policy to be approved in 2010 would be immersed in and how the years of processing the law shaped these aspects, namely: the regional issue, planar issues, the organizational field of solid waste in the country and the on going dispute over incineration. The investigation is based on documentary and field research, through which it was possible to investigate the processes of legitimizing the waste problem as a socio-environmental problem, and the preparation and approval of the PNRS, understanding how some of the environmental conflicts surrounding waste management determined the final wording of the policy. Likewise, generators or representative sectors resist the responsibility of bearing the burden of Reverse Logistics without compensation from the public sector. The central role og the Ministry of the Environment can be seen in mediating between economic agents and institutions representing the segments involved with the effective implementation of the main guidelines of 12.305/10, decrees, related standards and their updates.

Variables investigated included sea surface temperature (SST), salinity, visibility, tidal conditions, and climate indices, along with algal bloom data derived from Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 satellite images. Days selected for analysis were focused on periods when fog or mist was observed at the Galeão and Santos Dumont airports and availability of cloud-free satellite imagery. Analyses involved Pearson correlation calculations among variables, followed by the application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify multivariate interactions and complex patterns that would not be detected by simple correlation methods. The results indicated that although direct correlations among variables were generally weak, there were signs that algal blooms, interacting with factors such as SST and salinity, may contribute to fog formation, particularly in the inner bay areas, where oceanic water circulation is less intense. The application of PCA reinforced these observations, also indicating that La Niña events appear to intensify the frequency and duration of fog events at Santos Dumont Airport, suggesting a nonlinear interaction between oceanic indices and local variables. The findings highlight the importance of integrated approaches in analyzing complex atmospheric phenomena and suggest the need for future investigations that include continuous monitoring, additional data on water quality, and characterization of algal species in blooms for a more detailed understanding of these interactions Publisher: Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Type: Dissertação Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/11422/29010 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11422/29003 Title: Eticas ordinarias: relaciones de vecindad, tensiones morales y horizontes de violencia en el Valle del Risaralda Author(s)/Inventor(s): Salazar, Sergio Advisor: Comerford, John Cunha Abstract: This thesis addresses ordinary ethics and, in this context, the construction of moral values in the daily life of a community in the Risaralda Valley, Colombia. Based on the ethnographic description and analysis of everyday situations in the village of El Mañana, municipality of Viterbo, related to land ownership, work, use and disputes over the control of traffic on public roads, relationships with the natural environment, forms of agricultural and livestock production, and the construction of killable subjects, it reveals moral tensions that emerge in daily life, especially manifest in neighborhood relations. In these tensions, the presence, whether spectral or material of violence, becomes evident, which in one way or another emerges and affects the construction of moral values and social relations of the inhabitants.

This observational study aimed to examine the serum vitamin D levels of children with atopic dermatitis and their correlation with disease severity, as well as to determine whether children with AD can be considered a risk group for vitamin D deficiency. Eighty serum 25(OH)D measurements were performed on 79 children with atopic dermatitis between seven months and 16 years of age between 2021 and 2023. Most patients (82%) presented with vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency, and patients with more severe AD had lower serum levels of 25(OH)D, although this correlation was not statistically significant. It was concluded that vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in children with atopic dermatitis living in a sunny region.
