    Abstract The environmental concern with the treatment and final disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated in cities has increased worldwide. In São Paulo, the largest Latin America’s city, the landfills use is preponderant and initiatives that incorporate treatment technologies that recover recyclable materials, compost, and generate energy are incipient. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to assess the treatment technologies for integrated MSW management and propose the optimal scenario that increases materials recovery and reduce the current landfill disposal, with the objective of postponing its lifetime. To achieve the result proposed, five scenarios were modeled and compared with the current scenario, which is (1) 2% of selective collection and 98% to the landfill. The other scenarios were: (2) Scenario 1 added by 4 mechanical biological treatment units (MBT); (3) Fivefold increasing of the selective collection, added by 2 Thermal Treatment Units (WtE); (4) 2% of selective collection, 2 MBTs and 2 WtEs; and (5) same of Scenario 2, but without compost sale. Considering environmental, financial, social, and technical factors of each scenario, the TOPSIS method was used, which orders the preference for similarity of the ideal solution. As a result, the Scenario 2 was the optimal solution, diverting 70% of MSW from landfill.

    Abstract Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by a deficiency in the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex, leading to the toxic accumulation of leucine, isoleucine and valine. Acute encephalopathy (AE) is a severe neurological disorder with diverse etiologies, demanding prompt identification and intervention. We present a unique case of a previously healthy teenage patient who developed AE during an influenza infection. Despite initial inconclusive investigations, the patient's condition rapidly deteriorated, requiring pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission. Diagnostic challenges included fluctuating mental status and refractory intracranial hypertension, ultimately necessitating decompressive craniectomy. Empirical treatments, including corticosteroids, tocilizumab, and plasmapheresis, were administered. Finally, clinical exome analysis revealed a pathogenic variant in homozygosity in the BCKDHA gene associated with MSUD type Ia. Her adult sister, experiencing similar symptoms in the same time period, did not survive. This case underscores the importance of considering metabolic disorders in AE etiology, even accounting for its various associated syndromes and usual prolonged diagnostic investigation, as prompt treatment initiation is vital for improved outcomes. Management of AE involves addressing seizures, systemic support and neuromonitoring, namely, intracranial pressure monitoring. Inborn errors of metabolism, like MSUD, should be considered, even if universally screened, as delayed diagnosis can result in prolonged hospitalization and significant morbidity.

    Abstract Palynological analysis is a time-tested analytical method in the field of geology, geography, and archaeology across the globe. However, a major problem in palynology is that due to the dynamic nature of coastal and lake settings, sediment samples from these environments usually contain large proportion of clastic materials that are difficult to remove and isolate from pollen grains. In this study, we present a step-by-step procedure of an optimized preparation method to eliminate the organic and clastic materials and concentrate the pollen grains. We also present some insights on how to prepare a clean microscopic slide with intact pollen grains. We believe this procedure can successfully eliminate organic and clastic materials and concentrate the pollen grains to produce an ideal microscopic slide for pollen analysis.•Extract samples and eliminate carbonate materials with hydrochloric acid.•Remove organic materials with potassium hydroxide.•Remove clastic materials with sieving and hydrofluoric acid.

    Abstract Este artigo apresenta uma sequência didática abordando os direitos humanos com ênfase em um período marcado pela exclusão de todos aqueles(as) ditas loucos(as) com sua reclusão forçada e tratamentos desumanos em manicômios como o da cidade de Barbacena – MG. A sequência didática permitiu a criação de uma peça teatral amadora. Para análise desse processo educacional, utilizou-se da metodologia “relato de experiência”. Ao se relacionar a experiência ao aporte teórico da Educação em Direitos Humanos, observou-se a relevância de uma não instrumentalização dos estudantes em um processo coletivo e autoral de aprendizagem. Percebe-se que o texto escrito para a peça se aproximou mais dos princípios da ética cordial: do “educar para o nunca mais” e da “formação do sujeito de direito”.

    Abstract The 3D basin modelling of the Southwestern Barents Sea was planned with the aim of addressing the masses of petroleum generated, migrated, accumulated and lost during the basin evolution. The first model was constructed for the Hammerfest Basin considering three source rocks, which correspond to the Upper Jurassic Hekkingen Formation and the Triassic Snadd and Kobbe formations. The highest maturities for the three source rocks were reached in the western and northwestern margin of the basin. The model reproduced satisfactorily the hydrocarbon phases and distribution of the main fields and discoveries. Two events of petroleum re-distribution occurred in the basin: the first corresponds to the oil re-distribution (during the Oligocene–Miocene); the second corresponds to the gas leakage (during the Pliocene–Pleistocene) in connection to the glacial–interglacial cycles. At least 0.247 Gt of thermogenic gas leaked from the main reservoir and reached the sediment interface. The analysis of the volumetric proportions of oil and gas contributions to each field and discovery, suggest that the gas contribution stems mainly from Triassic source rocks, while the oil phases contain variable proportions from both the Jurassic Hekkingen Formation and the Triassic source rocks. Available fluid geochemical data from the main fields in the Hammerfest Basin allowed testing these results. The interpretation of gas isotopes and maturity related biomarker ratios confirms the maturity trends derived from basin modelling; and light hydrocarbons indicate the influence of secondary processes. However, age related biomarker ratios did not provide a clear separation when evaluating a contribution from Jurassic versus Triassic source rocks. The 3D basin modelling was extended to include the Loppa High as well as some other important frontier exploration areas; taking into account the same source rocks. Calibrated model predictions indicate that the three source rocks are overmature in the western margin and also have high maturities in the deepest parts of the Maud Basin to the east. However, in the Bjarmeland platform, only the Triassic source rocks have entered the oil window. Recent generation has been observed in the eastern part around the Bjarmeland Platform and generative potential is still available at present–day. The timing of generation in the western part is different in comparison to the east, with the Kobbe Formation starting to generate during the Late Triassic–Early Jurassic, the Snadd Formation during Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous and the Hekkingen Formation during Middle Cretaceous. The three source rocks do not have any generative potential left; therefore, it is necessary to rely on younger source rocks. Additional results indicate that the main drainage directions do not change drastically during the evolution of the area, not even during the glacial–interglacial cycles. The model output shows changes in the sizes of the relative oil versus gas quantities in the modelled accumulations during the glacial cycles.

    Abstract Natural products have received a lot of attention in a variety of medical sectors, including dentistry. Cissus, a flowering plant genus, has long been used for its therapeutic benefits. The purpose of this review is to thoroughly investigate the possibilities of Cissus extracts in dentistry. To that end, we used specific selection criteria for the selection of pertinent scientific articles published in the scientific information databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and ProQuest. We found that the diverse array of bioactive compounds found in varied species of Cissus holds promise for applications ranging from oral wound healing to periodontal health. This review summarizes known studies on antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative characteristics of Cissus extracts, shedding light on their potential significance in modernizing modern dental practices. It exerts that Cissus extracts have the potential to supplement established dentistry therapies by providing all-natural remedies for a variety of oral health conditions.

    Abstract Gut microbiota influence host immunity and metabolism during obesity. Bacterial sensors of the innate immune system relay signals from specific bacterial components (i.e., postbiotics) that can have opposing outcomes on host metabolic inflammation. NOD-like receptors (NLRs) such as Nod1 and Nod2 both recruit receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIPK2) but have opposite effects on blood glucose control. Nod1 connects bacterial cell wall-derived signals to metabolic inflammation and insulin resistance, whereas Nod2 can promote immune tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and better blood glucose control during obesity. NLR family pyrin domain containing (NLRP) inflammasomes can also generate divergent metabolic outcomes. NLRP1 protects against obesity and metabolic inflammation potentially because of a bias toward IL-18 regulation, whereas NLRP3 appears to have a bias toward IL-1β-mediated metabolic inflammation and insulin resistance. Targeting specific postbiotics that improve immunometabolism is a key goal. The Nod2 ligand, muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is a short-acting insulin sensitizer during obesity or during inflammatory lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stress. LPS with underacylated lipid-A antagonizes TLR4 and counteracts the metabolic effects of inflammatory LPS. Providing underacylated LPS derived from Rhodobacter sphaeroides improved insulin sensitivity in obese mice. Therefore, certain types of LPS can generate metabolically beneficial metabolic endotoxemia. Engaging protective adaptive immunoglobulin immune responses can also improve blood glucose during obesity. A bacterial vaccine approach using an extract of the entire bacterial community in the upper gut promotes protective adaptive immune response and long-lasting improvements in blood glucose control. A key future goal is to identify and combine postbiotics that cooperate to improve blood glucose control.
