Na região norte do Brasil a fruta açaí é um produto típico e muito consumido por suas qualidades nutritivas e medicinais, ocupando importante papel socioeconômico no país. Os resíduos gerados após a extração da polpa da fruta correspondem a 85% do volume produzido, montante que é descartado em lixões a céu aberto sem um planejamento adequado. O trabalho apresenta um estudo inicial do aproveitamento do caroço do açaí usado como reforço para confeccionar material compósito de matriz em resina biodegradável a base do óleo de mamona. A base metodológica para a realização do estudo foi a pesquisa bibliográfica para associar conhecimentos sobre o fruto açaí e seus resíduos, e materiais compósitos com reforço de fibras naturais. Para o desenvolvimento do novo material foi utilizada a pesquisa de Quirino (2010) como referência para a moldagem do painel e para a realização do ensaios de densidade, bem como a norma ABNT NBR 14810-1 (2013). Os resultados demonstram que o processo utilizado para a produção do painel compósito resulta em material de alta densidade, apresentando ainda diferencial estético e qualidade visual. A contribuição do estudo está no aproveitamento de recursos naturais para a minimização dos impactos ambientais negativos resultantes do ciclo produtivo do açaí.

A indústria de tintas látex utiliza em seu processo água potável em larga escala. Após o uso, esse insumo segue para estações de tratamento de efluentes (ETE), gerando como subproduto um lodo. Atualmente, o descarte desse lodo residual se dá através de envio para fornos de coprocessamento, o que gera uma problemática devido aos custos elevados associados a este processo. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a viabilidade de utilização do lodo da ETE de uma empresa de tintas látex como substrato para a produção e cultivo de Lobularia maritime. Para isso, foram realizados cinco tratamentos, compostos por diferentes quantidades de lodo e substrato, nas proporções 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% (substituição em volume de substrato por lodo) e uma testemunha, 0% de lodo. As amostras de lodo e os cinco tratamentos foram caracterizados quanto ao pH, condutividade elétrica (CE), teor total de sais solúveis (TTSS), densidade aparente e seca, teor de umidade e granulometria. Para as amostras de lodo, além das análises supracitadas, foram realizadas, ainda, as análises de fluorescência de raio X (FRX), análise termo-gravimétrica (TGA/DTG) e determinação da massa específica. Nos tratamentos estudados, foram também realizadas as análises de porosidade, capacidade de retenção de água e desenvolvimento plantular. Os resultados de condutividade elétrica e pH, encontraram-se dentro dos parâmetros estabelecidos pela literatura em todos os tratamentos avaliados. A análise química mostrou que o lodo é composto majoritariamente por cálcio (Ca), titânio (Ti), silício (Si), alumínio (Al) e ferro (Fe). Quanto à caracterização física, verificou-se que a incorporação do resíduo resulta no aumento da densidade e diminuição do teor de umidade, assim como, do diâmetro médio das partículas do sistema, afetando negativamente a capacidade de retenção de água, porosidade total e, possivelmente, a quantidade de microporos. Todos os tratamentos apresentaram desenvolvimento plantular, concluindo-se que, quando utilizado em baixas proporções (até 10% v:v), o lodo apresenta potencial uso como material substituto parcial de substrato para a produção de mudas.

O óleo vegetal residual configura em um grave risco ambiental quando descartado em ralos, pias, solo ou corpos hídricos, no entanto, este apresenta um grande potencial como matéria prima na fabricação de outros produtos, como sabão, biodiesel, cosméticos, produtos de limpeza, tintas, ração animal e outros. Dessa forma, é de suma importância a aplicação da logística reversa, isto é, processos de recolhimento do óleo de fritura usado destinando-o para novos ciclos produtivos. Portanto, o artigo em questão tem o objetivo de realizar uma análise dos procedimentos necessários para a aplicação da logística reversa desse resíduo na cidade de Teresina (PI), por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com empresas especializadas na realização da coleta e destinação adequada do óleo, no qual foi possível verificar como se coordena e estrutura a cadeia, vantagens nos aspectos ambientais, sociais e econômicos, particularidades desse sistema, como a subutilização da capacidade de armazenagem nessas empresas, além de dificuldades, como a insuficiência de educação ambiental pela sociedade e de apoio governamental.

Implementasi Pemikiran Hermeneutika Martin Heidegger dalam Studi Tafsir Alquran
Authors: Supriyanto Supriyanto
Published: June 2022

Implementation of Martin Heidegger's Hermeneutic Thought in the Study of Quranic InterpretationThis article examines Martin Heidegger's hermeneutical thinking and its relevance in the discourse on the science of Qur'anic interpretation. This research was designed with qualitative methods and included in library research. The analysis used by the researcher is data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. From the study conducted, it can be seen that: 1) Heidegger's metaphysical deconstruction project begins with a realignment of the most basic of metaphysics, namely the question of being; 2) Heidegger is able to include hermeneutics as part of the study of philosophy, precisely as a form of methodical response in which the subject-object perspective must be objectified through a mode of understanding the world above the consciousness of the subject, so as not to produce a rigid and black-and-white understanding of reality-as stated by Wilhem Dilthey with his Geisteswissencheften and Naturwissencheften; 3) Regarding the integration of hermeneutics into the study of the Qur'an, some of Heidegger's thoughts are considered applicable to open horizons regarding the reality of the interpretation of the Qur'an itself. Regarding the facticity or flux experienced by dasein, it gives us an understanding that the socio-cultural conditions in which dasein lives can affect the formation of human understanding (interpreter), which in the study of interpretation is accommodated with the term pre-understanding or mahaula al-mufassir. The theory about the temporality of dasein at least inspires Muslim thinkers to continue to carry out interpretive activities in order to present religious dictums that have relevance to different social conditions between dasein

Estado atual da pesquisa sobre o Padre Cícero
Authors: Silveira Ildefonso

Imagem do messias, do homem bom e compreensivo, do homem capaz de obrar milagres, de mãos que distribuíam bens, de boca que só dava bons conselhos? Esta imagem corresponde, ao menos em parte, àquilo que foi concretamente, no seu Juazeiro, o Padre Cícero, ou é antes expressão da alma popular, que projeta no Padre Cícero as suas próprias expectativas e ideais?
