The Mata dos Cocais Forest, an ecotone between the Amazon, Caatinga, and Cerrado biomes, still lacks data on the diffuse contribution of organic matter to rivers. A 12-month study conducted along a 3.53 km stretch of the Saco River (1,540 km 2 basin), predominantly covered by dense forest, used the Streeter-Phelps model to estimate diffuse organic matter concentrations of 0.201 mg BOD L -1 km -2…
Environmental transformations observed in recent decades have intensified debates about the relationships between human societies and ecological systems, highlighting the need for analytical approaches capable of integrating cultural, political, and ecological dimensions of socio-environmental dynamics. Within the field of Ecological and Environmental Anthropology, different theoretical traditions…
Given the challenges posed by the climatic conditions of semi-arid regions that rely on reservoir-based water management policies to ensure water availability, machine learning methods have been increasingly used as tools for efficient water resources management. This study aimed to calibrate a seasonal streamflow forecasting model for the Carnaubal Reservoir, located in the semi-arid region of…
Climate change impacts the ability of food systems to provide adequate nutrition to a growing population. Understanding family farmers’ perceptions of climate change is crucial for implementing mitigation and resilience strategies. This research analyzed how family farmers in the western region of Paraná, Brazil, perceived the effects of climate change on their productive activities and how they…
Reducing water losses is a strategic challenge for water supply systems (WSS), particularly in regions characterized by operational heterogeneity, water scarcity, intermittent supply, and increasing production and distribution costs. Although the Economic Level of Losses (ELL) is widely recognized as a valuable decision-support tool, its application remains limited at regional scales and in…
The Social Assistance Reference Centers (CRAS) are considered the main entry points for Brazil’s Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS), which provides basic social protection to families in situations of vulnerability. Given the territorial importance of these services, this article analyzes the exposure of CRAS units to flood and landslide risks. Based on the integration of the CRAS Development…
The universalization of water supply and sanitary sewage treatment services requires low-cost, high-efficiency solutions. Constructed wetlands (CW) stand out as a promising technology, but their effectiveness in removing nutrients, especially phosphorus, remains limited. The use of fertilizers based on the seaweed Lithothamnium calcareum emerges as a potential strategy to enhance this system.…
Bats, the only flying mammals, exhibit remarkable species diversity, ecological functions, and public health relevance. However, throughout the history of many cultures, they have faced numerous, often unfair stereotypes, generating negative perceptions that impact their conservation and local coexistence. This study established the socioeconomic, ecoepidemiological, and perception profile of…
This article critically examines Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) within teacher education, considering its alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals. Adopting a theoretical-critical approach, this study is based on a critical narrative review of national and international publications from 2015 to 2024, combined with thematic analysis. Forty-two works were selected from…
Particulate matter (PM) is one of the main air pollutants found suspended in the atmosphere, and is composed of a mixture of chemical elements of natural and anthropogenic origin. Therefore, the objective of this study was to use the Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) receptor model to identify the sources of PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations, the data for which were collected and chemically…
