    Abstract Dung beetles are efficient indicators to obtain responses regarding the effects of land use change on biodiversity. Although the biological consequences of Cerrado conversion into pasture have been observed at the assemblage scale, there are no cues regarding the effects of tropical savanna conversion into pasture on physiological condition of dung beetle individuals. In this study, we evaluated whether native and non-native habitats in Cerrado affect the physiological condition and body traits of males and females of

    Abstract Statement of problem: A consensus on whether a fully digital workflow can replace conventional methods of manufacturing partial-coverage restorations is lacking.
    Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the accuracy, fit, and clinical outcomes of inlay, onlay, overlay, and endocrown restorations obtained with both digital and conventional workflows.
    Material and methods: This study complied with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews database (CRD42021258696). Studies evaluating the accuracy, fit, and clinical outcomes of inlay, onlay, overlay, and endocrown restorations obtained with digital and conventional workflows were included from 5 databases searched in November 2022. The Checklist for Reporting Randomized Clinical Studies (ROB 2) and the Checklist for Reporting In vitro Studies (CRIS guidelines) were used to assess the risk of bias.
    Results: Twenty-three studies were included in this review. Sixteen studies evaluated marginal and internal fit, 5 evaluated accuracy, 3 evaluated fracture resistance, and 1 evaluated long-term clinical performance. Although most studies reported acceptable clinical outcomes for both workflows, 11 studies showed better results with the conventional workflow, 10 with the digital workflow, and 2 reported that the outcomes of the workflows were similar.
    Conclusions: Clinically acceptable values have been reported for the parameters evaluated in both digital and conventional workflows, and no consensus has been reached regarding the more efficient method.

    Abstract In two small and isolated wetlands located at the interface of the Atlantic Forest and Brazilian savanna (Cerrado) in São Paulo State, Brazil, we employed a pixel-based supervised classification approach using a combination of panchromatic and multispectral bands obtained from Landsat 2, 5, 7, and CBERS-04A satellites (ranging from 80 to 2 m/pixel). In addition, we acquired DJI Phantom 4 Pro UAV-RGB images in twelve different periods with a resolution of +5 cm/pixel. Furthermore, we utilized 2D and 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to obtain data on the surroundings and center of the wetlands. Finally, we conducted a climatological data analysis. The results from the multisource data allowed us to classify the ecosystems as geographically isolated wetlands (GIWs), for which we documented a seasonal month-to-month (12 months) spatial variation of inundated area, vegetation pattern, soil water interaction, and a point of surface and deep-subsurface water interaction. These results are essential for high-accuracy characterization of small wetlands’ hydrodynamics and hydroperiods at the local scale. Our study contributes to optimizing GIWs understanding, monitoring, and reapplication of the methodology in other wetlands or small ecosystems.

    Abstract Abstract Numerous Antarctic species are recognized as reservoirs for various pathogens, and their migratory behavior allows them to reach the Brazilian coast, potentially contributing to the emergence and circulation of new infectious diseases. To address the potential zoonotic risks, we conducted surveillance of influenza A virus (IAV) and coronaviruses (CoVs) in the Antarctic Peninsula, specifically focusing on different bird and mammal species in the region. During the summer of 2021/2022, as part of the Brazilian Antarctic Expedition, we collected and examined a total of 315 fecal samples to target these respiratory viruses. Although we did not detect the viruses of interest during this particular expedition, previous research conducted by our team has shown the presence of the H11N2 subtype of influenza A virus in penguin fecal samples from the same region. Given the continuous emergence of new viral strains worldwide, it is crucial to maintain active surveillance in the area, contributing to strengthening integrated One Health surveillance efforts.

    Abstract The protection of wetlands is essential for sustainable development. The particular hydrology of wetlands creates conditions for the formation of hydric soils. Hydric soils are formed in oxide-reducing environments and perform important removal and re-oxidation of Fe and Mn oxides and hydroxides. They are also characterized by the formation of a superficial horizon enriched by the accumulation of organic matter. The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of essential (Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn) and toxic (Al, Cd, Pb) elements in the soil solution in a wetland, surrounded by an intense agricultural activity area. The concentrations of the elements were evaluated according to the level of hydromorphy (border to the center) and the depth of the soil. The physical fractionation of these elements was also assessed (total and < 30 kDa), and the results were compared with the chemical speciation of these elements. Despite the high total concentrations of Al and Fe, the concentration of these elements was very low in the < 30 kDa fraction, which suggests that these elements are complexed with organic matter, in the form of hydroxides. Evidence of removal of Fe and Mn from the surface horizon was observed at the center of the wetland, where the highest level of hydromorphy is found. The results showed that the concentration of metals in the fraction < 30 kDa is insignificant, suggesting that the mechanisms of precipitation and/or adsorption to soil colloids play an important role in the regulation of this ecosystem.

    Abstract The global warming derived from human activities issue takes account today of a considerable part of individual and public attention in the political, economic, social and environmental scenario. The theoretical and ideological aspects of the environmental discourses involved are however often ignored. This paper aims to bring to light without attempting to exhaust the discussion on this subject (the ideology that involves interpretations of global climate change). To reach the objective it will be used de theoretical framework of ideology developed by Göhan Therborn (1991) applied to Six Degrees book by Mark Lynas (2009) and An inconvenient truth documentary by Al Gore (2006) analysis. Both works served as an example for the characterization of the point of view that blames human activities for global warming as ideological and how this ideology interpellates the individuals, in order to submit and qualify them.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-A. baumannii (ACB) complex isolates recovered from a university hospital in Pelotas, RS, Brazil. The species were confirmed using gyrB multiplex and blaOXA-51-like genes PCR. The presence of the bfmRS virulence gene was evaluated by the PCR, and the isolates were classified based on their biofilm-forming ability on polystyrene (PO) and glass surfaces (TM). Out of 50 ACB complex isolates evaluated, 41 were identified as A. baumannii and nine as A. nosocomialis. The bfmRS gene was detected in 97.6% (40/41) of A. baumannii and 33.3% (3/9) of A. nosocomialis species. Forty-nine isolates exhibited a multidrug-resistant (MDR) profile, while one A. nosocomialis isolate presented an extensively drug-resistant (XDR) profile. All isolates were able of forming biofilms on PO surfaces and 98% (49/50) on TM surfaces. A significant correlation was observed between biofilm production on PO and TM surfaces (P < 0.05). However, no correlation was found between biofilms forming and the presence of the bfmRS gene or displaying a certain antibiotic resistance profile. In conclusion, A. baumannii and A. nosocomialis are frequent species causing nosocomial infections in a hospital in Pelotas, RS, Brazil, and both are capable of forming biofilms.

    Abstract The inland wetlands can perform the storage of water on the surface and the recharge of aquifers. Even a small wetland can work as a local point of water infiltration, influencing and sustaining the hydrodynamics in the hydrology landscape. These zones have complex mechanisms, as they integrate soil chemical and physical characteristics, and relate both surface and groundwater systems. The study area is an inland wetland located in the Ecological Station of Itirapina, São Paulo State (Brazil). The present work aims to unveil the relationship between hydrodynamics and pedological architecture through a detailed study that combines hydraulic conductivity tests in situ, geophysical method of electrical resistivity (Electrical Resistivity Tomography technique, ERT), and morphological soil descriptions aiming the validation of the ERT and hydraulic conductivity surveys. Two-dimensional (2D) and pseudo-three-dimensional (3D) ERT have been used to investigate the water flow in the subsurface, the pedological architecture that keeps the wetland hydroperiods, and the link between surface water and groundwater that can set a recharge capacity. The results showed areas with distinct surface patterns related to the density of vegetation cover and water infiltration. The lower infiltration areas are characterized by the presence of a perched water table in grassy areas while higher infiltration is associated with exposed topsoil. ERT 2D and pseudo-3D identified these areas as zones with a connection between soil-water and groundwater systems. Hydrodynamics in the flat plateau is associated with the geochemical evolution of soil cover due to the structural complexity acquired by the iron crust dissolution (laterite) which has sustained the relief. Future studies concerning inland wetlands need to be carried out to certify the role of soil-landscape in the water cycle in the Savanna biome.

    Abstract The main biofuel produced in Brazil is ethanol representing 16% of energy production in the national energy matrix, that is why sugarcane is one of the most important crops for Brazilian agriculture. The land conversion associated with the advancement of agriculture is often carried out inappropriately advancing over areas of high environmental sensitivity, such as natural small wetlands. The level of detail required to monitor subtle changes in their dynamics and landscape makes very high-resolution images (+ 10 cm/pixel resolution) acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) an excellent data. The objective of this research was to use UAV orthomosaics and digital elevation models to carry out seasonal monitoring, simulate the water flow in the areas of hydric-contribution and inland flooding, and validate the flooding simulations. The studied wetland located in the State of São Paulo (Paulista Peripheral Depression), showed a seasonal surface water storage capacity (28,067 m³) and a loss of approximately 12.27% of its total area between October 2019 and February 2020. The flooding simulations were validated with data observed by the imagery (variation of ± 3.27%.), being possible to be reapplied in several small ecosystems.
