Impacto da ABNT NBR 15575 na qualidade da construção civil

The quality in construction is increasingly a concern in this sector, in view of the occurrence of problems in civil works, even when a contractor is certified by ISO 9001. The ISO 9001 certification does not ensure the maintenance of quality because it only establishes the requirements for a quality management system (QMS) to ensure standardization of processes and products. With the development of ISO 15575, standard performance, the builders took on a quality parameter with the requirements established by this Standard, which must be met. Thus, the implementation of a quality management system (QMS) becomes essential, showing users the concern for quality. This study aimed to verify, through a case study, the impact of NBR 15575 quality construction and how that standard of performance may be the key element of ISO 9001 to ensure quality maintenance of civil works

Análise das possibilidades de integração entre programas ambientais de usinas hidrelétricas e sistemas de gestão ambiental

A avaliação de impacto ambiental tem sido muitas vezes, vista apenas como um procedimento burocrático para a obtenção da licença ambiental, desconsiderando os estudos realizados, após a aquisição da licença e contratando outros serviços para orientar a adoção de um sistema de gestão objetivando boas práticas ambientais. Porém sabe-se que a estrutura geral das metodologias de avaliação de impacto ambiental apresenta muitos pontos semelhantes se comparada à identificação dos aspectos e impactos ambientais de um sistema de gestão ambiental, o que indica uma interface entre os dois instrumentos apesar da execução integrada ainda não ser um procedimento comum na gestão ambiental de empreendimentos. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho objetivou analisar as possibilidades do emprego de um sistema de gestão ambiental preconizado pela ISQ 14001 para o gerenciamento de programas ambientais decorrentes de processos de avaliação de impacto ambiental e de licenciamento ambiental de usinas hidrelétricas, através do foco específico naqueles progrmas relacionados diretamente com o monitoramento e o controle da qualidade e da qualidade da água do reservatório, que é um fator essencial para a função de produção de um empreendimento hidrelétrico. Para esta análise, utilizou-se o caso da usina hidrelétrica de Santo Antônio, identificando 9 programas ambientais decorrentes de processos de avaliação de impacto ambiental com grandes possibilidades de serem utilizados na estruturação de sistemas de gestão ambiental de usinas hidrelétricas e cuja adequada execução, corrobora com a integração entre os respectivos instrumentos além de corresponder à necessidade de compatibilização dos instrumentos de política ambiental na busca de um desenvolvimento com adequada proteção ambiental e de uma atuação mais consciente das organizações

The consumption of fish is limited by socio-economic factors. Currently, the search for food security is a global trend. Thus, it is necessary to change the profile of the consumer, by offering a competitive and safe food. In this paper, we address issues related to quality, hygiene and health of fish

Compostos bioativos presentes em cultivares de maracujá

A produção de maracujá vem ganhando grande importância no Brasil, notadamente a partir das últimas três décadas, o que coloca o país numa situação de destaque no ranking mundial, sendo o maior produtor do mundo. As principais espécies produzidas e exploradas comercialmente são: Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg., o maracujá amarelo ou azedo e Passiflora alata Dryand, o maracujá doce. Apesar de serem espécies bem difundidas, há poucos estudos que as relacionem. Desta forma, o presente trabalho objetivou comparar as polpas das duas espécies, avaliando suas semelhanças e diferenças através de testes físico-químicos e determinando seus compostos bioativos. O estudo foi conduzido no Laboratório de Controle de Qualidade de Alimentos, no Departamento de Alimentos e Nutrição, da Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho”, Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas, campus Araraquara. Para analisar e comparar as espécies estudadas foram utilizadas amostras “in natura” e congeladas de ambas as espécies e foram determinados os compostos bioativos (carotenoides totais, fenólicos totais e flavonóides totais), ácido ascórbico, acidez total titulável (ATT), atividade sequestrante de radicais livres (DPPH) e sólidos solúveis totais (SST). Todas as análises foram realizados em triplicata. Em todas as determinações, o maracujá doce, Passiflora alata Dryand, apresentou valores menores em relação ao maracujá azedo, Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg..Os valores demonstram maiores quantidades de antioxidantes em maracujá amarelo em relação ao maracujá doce. Também demonstram que a indicação de consumo para Passiflora alata Dryand, é do fruto “in natura”, uma vez que para haver industrialização e processamento, há necessidade de maior acidez. Já Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg. demonstra-se adequado para a industrialização.
