O sistema de revestimento externo da edificação funciona como camada de proteção e contribui para o bom aspecto da mesma. A fachada está sujeita à ação de agentes de degradação por ser uma das zonas mais expostas do edifício, com a presença de patologia tornando-se responsável por elevados custos de reparos. A pesquisa propõe, como objetivo geral, avaliar patologias que afetem fachadas de edificações de ensino superior da Universidade Federal do Pará, norteada por uma base teórica (revisão bibliográfica) responsável pelas primeiras informações sobre o assunto. Para tal, como metodologia da pesquisa, buscou-se primeiramente realizar levantamento físico de fachadas de 30 edificações na UFPA, identificando em fichas cadastrais os principais mecanismos de degradação. Em seguida, após quantificar/qualificar as anomalias presentes na amostra e apontar a edificação mais crítica com seus principais danos e respectivas causas, listou-se, para esta, medidas básicas de intervenção, visando resolver de modo eficiente o problema decorrente, propondo-se um documento que funcione como suporte técnico para inspeção de fachadas em geral. Utilizou-se também de ensaios para caracterizar amostras, de modo a comprovar as origens daqueles danos em que à primeira vista não se conseguiu identificar a causa. Os resultados permitiram concluir que as edificações analisadas apresentam danos patológicos de diferentes natureza e grau de complexidade, indo desde os mais complexos que necessitaram de ensaios específicos para descobrir sua origem; até os mais simples, que com manutençao programada podem ser eliminado. Conclui-se que grande parte dos danos acontecem por negligência humana, mas que, mesmo dando ênfase na qualidade de execução em fachadas, não há como descartar a hipótese de falhas nem ignorar que o tempo de uso e as ações de fatores externos levam à degradação natural da edificação. Portanto, de modo a evitar o aparecimento precoce de patologias em fachadas, elevando seu tempo de vida útil e reduzindo custos extras, sugere-se, procedimentos de execução baseados em normas técnicas com fiscalização dos mesmos, obedecendo critérios de projeto e apresentando programas de vistorias periódicas para que medidas preventivas sejam tomadas em tempo hábil.

A Amazônia se constitui atualmente como a maior floresta tropical úmida remanescente e contínua do mundo e abriga a maior diversidade de plantas e animais dentre todos os biomas da Terra, constituindo de suma importância para a manutenção da biodiversidade. A região tem passado por mudanças significativas nas últimas décadas, mudanças que são resultantes principalmente das alterações da paisagem/cobertura vegetal, impulsionadas pelo aumento populacional e práticas de manejo inadequado da terra, resultado de desmatamentos, queimadas, mudanças nas atividades agrícolas, pecuária, exploração madeireira, programas de colonização, abertura de estradas e problemas latifundiários. Dentre esses fatores, as queimadas e incêndios florestais se tornam os problemas mais críticos para a região, pois o manejo do fogo pelos produtores rurais na maioria das vezes é feito de forma inadequada, escapando de controle e provocando prejuízos econômicos, sociais e ecológicos. Florestas que já queimaram uma vez ficam mais susceptíveis a novos incêndios, pois tornam-se mais inflamáveis devido a modificação em sua estrutura do dossel, na dinâmica de umidade relativa do ar, temperatura do ar e no combustível fino no chão da floresta. Sendo assim, objetivou-se neste trabalho investigar os padrões diurnos de inflamabilidade de florestas intactas e degradadas na região de Santarém – PA, área de grandes alterações no padrão de uso do solo, com intensas atividades agrícolas e agropecuárias, região que apresenta também número significativo de focos de incêndios. Observou-se que as florestas intactas da região são significativamente menos inflamáveis do que as florestas degradadas, e as bordas das florestas degradadas são mais inflamáveis que seu interior, comprovados por dados da dinâmica de umidade relativa e temperatura do ar, umidade da Serapilheira e taxa de abertura do dossel. Esses dados foram associados com dados socioeconômicos através de entrevistas semi estruturadas, com o objetivo de saber como os produtores rurais manejam o fogo, onde os resultados mostraram que o treinamento de manejo de fogo influencia significativamente na adoção de boas práticas de uso de fogo, como por exemplo, não colocar fogo em horário crítico (entre 11 e 15 horas para região estudada), fazer aceiro, queimar contra o vento, esperar a primeira chuva, entre outros. O tamanho da propriedade não influencia significativamente no uso adequado de fogo, porém os pequenos produtores são os que mais o utilizam em suas atividades produtivas, uma vez que este se constitui a forma mais barata para limpar e preparar a terra. Neste sentido, este trabalho visa mostrar a necessidade de investimento em pesquisas sobre a inflamabilidade das florestas, o aperfeiçoamento das análises de satélites associadas às pesquisas em campo, como uma forma de amenizar e talvez solucionar os problemas das queimadas na Amazônia, além de colaborar para adoção de uma política de incentivo a redução das queimadas pelos produtores rurais, aliadas ao treinamento de uso do fogo, acesso a informação e tecnologias alternativas ao manejo de fogo.

Currently, due to the highly competitive search among industries are becoming more tools for managing product that provides higher availability and therefore profitability. Maintenance as a strategic sector and of fundamental importance in business, it seeks to maximize availability and available resources, minimizing costs and waste, which directly impacts the company's results. The present work has as main objective the review of contracts for maintenance services for companies contracted by a chemical company in the Paraíba Valley, since most of its maintenance services are outsourced, and raise these contracts which are more critical and higher risk to the company's success, thus creating a tool for decision-making by maintenance managers in the act of seeking renewals or new contracts to provide services. As a result after drawing up a standard procedure for contracting of services and a better structuring of the same, we developed a method for the calculation of the criticality of the contracts and based on these calculations, charts were prepared which showed that the current scenario of maintenance contracts the company studied. Thus it is possible to evaluate the contracts which are most critical to the success or failure of the company studied, and also pave the way for further studies on how this criticality of a contract can affect the relationship, the contractor x contracted

It is clear today the ever-accelerating search for new fuels that will eventually replace those that will survive in our society, which are fossil fuels. For this reason, a fuel used since the dawn of humanity and much studied since then, considered the generator of clean, renewable energy, can earn more and more space in the power generation sector, which is biomass. We performed two experiments with two different types of biomass, one from the Amazon rainforest and other pine and eucalyptus as waste from the sawmill UNESP Itapeva. In the first experiment, conducted at the Laboratory of Combustion and Propulsion INPE Cachoeira Paulista were conducted three tests in a chimney with a fan creating forced ventilation, where the biomass was burned and deposited on a support beneath the hood. In the second experiment was conducted to analyze the emission of particulate matter using biomass (waste) from the sawmill on the campus of UNESP experimental Itapeva the burning of it in a burner for heating water for a wood oven. In these experiments we used a particle called DATARAM4 sampler that is capable of sampling both outdoors and inside of pipelines, which is the focus of this work. With this equipment it was possible to measure the concentration of particulate matter in all the firings as above, and compare them to levels acceptable in the current law, always trying to analyze the so-called fine particles, which are those with diameters less than 2.5 μm. Using data obtained from the equipment was also possible to evaluate the diametral distribution of particulate matter in question, and verify which phases of the flares in the concentration and the diameters of the particles are the most critical. In this work we concluded that in all firings conducted concentrations of particulate matter were higher than that allowed by the law, and the diameters were found that are more harmful to human health

In São Paulo state, deforestation and agriculture activities are increasing soil losses processes, especially in areas of susceptible soils where properties not adopt soil conservation practices. Environmental adequacy at property level regarding Permanent Protection Areas and Legal Reserves is considered a factor on reducing soil losses and considering that we assessed soil losses of different scenario of environmental adequacy. Simulations of erosive process were carried out in 15 catchments of Corumbataí river basin, according to different forest restoration scenarios, as well as the current situation of land use/land cover. The scenarios include the implementation of Permanent Preservation Areas (PPA), the reforestation of variable source areas, and two scenarios, the Legal Reserve installation in 20% of each catchment, being one of them for most critical areas in terms of erosion and the other at random. It was observed that the establishment of PPA and the reforestation of hydrologically sensitive areas, offered only a small contribution to the control of the erosive process, resulting in a reduction of 10% and 7,8%, respectively, while the legal reserve in critical areas has a significant reduction of 69,8%. The random scenario, in turn, resulted in a reduction of only 21,4%. Results show that reforestation could reduce soil losses, but previous studies of land prioritization and planning could increase significantly its efficiency at this process.

The objective of this study was to develop a model that allows testing in the wind tunnel at high angles of attack and validates its most critical components by analyzing the results of simulations in finite element software. During the project this structure suffered major loads identified during the flight conditions and, from these, we calculated the stresses in critical regions defined as the parts of the model that have higher failure probabilities. All aspects associated with Load methods, mesh refining and stress analysis were taken into account in this approach. The selection of the analysis software was based on project needs, seeking greater ease of modeling and simulation. We opted for the software ANSYS® since the entire project is being developed in CAD platforms enabling a friendly integration between software's modeling and analysis

The purpose of this work was to provide guidance to householders in the responsible care of their pets, in a region where canine visceral leishmaniasis is endemic. Questionnaires on responsible ownership and the control of this disease were completed by owners of dogs and cats in the city of Araçatuba, São Paulo State, Brazil, in order to evaluate their level of knowledge. Based on the identified deficiencies, the project team provided the owners of the pets with individual guidance at home, focusing on the most critical issues. Concerning nutrition, 70.45% (62/88) of owners provided pet food only, 27.28% (24/88) administered a mixed diet, and 2.27% (2/88) provided homemade food. Additionally, 78.41% (69/88) did not permit the consumption of raw meat, rare meat, or bones. 9.09% (8/88) of owners allowed their pets to wander the neighborhood alone. Among dogs, 14.77% (13/88) had never been clinically tested by a qualified professional, and 6.82% (6/88) and 15.91% (14/88) had never received any kind of vaccine or vermifuge, respectively. In relation to population control, only 20.45% (18/88) of the dogs had been sterilized. It was also observed that 25% (22/88) of owners had already had canine visceral leishmaniasis seropositive dogs in their homes. 54.55% (12/22) of these owners had referred their pets to veterinary clinics for euthanasia, 22.73% (5/22) had used the services of the city’s animal disease control center, and 18.18% (4/22) had paid for private treatment. Nevertheless, 35.23% (31/88) of the dogs had never been submitted to tests for infection diagnosis. From the results obtained, it could be inferred that the individuals who participated in this study were poorly informed concerning basic pet care, demonstrating a need to implement community awareness campaigns for the responsible ownership of pets.
