Clinical Diagnoses and Autopsy Findings: A Retrospective Analysis of 252 Cases in Greece
Authors: Spiliopoulou Chaido , Papadodima Stavroula , Kotakidis Nikolaos , Koutselinis Antonios
Published: February 2021

Context.—Despite medical and technologic advances, clinicians may misdiagnose a patient's situation and the cause of death. Autopsy may be valuable in uncovering the most frequent diagnostic pitfalls and helping clinicians to learn and to develop the medical art and science.

Objective.—To compare the clinical diagnoses with postmortem findings and evaluate the frequency of diagnostic errors assessed by autopsies.

Design.—Retrospective analysis of the protocols of 252 consecutive cases of adult patients autopsied in the Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology of Athens Medical School during the period 1999–2003. The outcome measures included concordance between diagnosis before death and at autopsy, sex, age, and length of hospitalization of the patient.

Results.—In 73 cases (29%), the autopsy findings confirmed the clinical diagnosis and the cause of death suggested by the clinicians. In 45 cases (19%), the clinical diagnosis and the cause of death suggested by the clinicians were discordant with the autopsy findings. In 105 cases (42%), the autopsy requests did not include any suggestion about the cause of the patient's death. In 7 cases (3%), several diagnoses were suggested by the clinicians, and in 16 cases (6%), the comparison between clinical and postmortem diagnosis was not possible. The most frequently misdiagnosed diseases were coronary disease and pulmonary embolism.

Conclusions.—It is concluded from this study that autopsies may reveal unexpected findings that are of critical importance and that a continued emphasis on autopsy evaluation is necessary to improve the quality of patient care.
Evaluation of Mast Cells in Myeloproliferative Disorders and Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Authors: Dunphy Cherie H.
Published: February 2021

Context.—Mast cells may be increased as a reactive mastocytosis in various hematologic disorders and malignant neoplasms, as well as in systemic mast cell disease (SMCD). There are no statistical differences in mast cell numbers in reactive mastocytosis and SMCD; however, SMCD usually reveals dyspoietic mast cells and other dyspoietic bone marrow elements. In addition, SMCD is frequently (45%) associated with myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) (17%) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) (28%). Thus, it has been suggested that SMCD may represent one aspect of a hematologic disorder that involves multiple bone marrow lineages.

Objective.—To perform a systematic evaluation of MPDs and MDSs without SMCD for dyspoietic mast cells.

Design.—A total of 55 MPDs or MDSs were reviewed, including 20 cytogenetically proven chronic myeloid leukemias, 6 essential thrombocythemias, 2 polycythemia veras, 21 cytogenetically proven MDSs, and 6 chronic myelomonocytic leukemias. Cases of idiopathic myelofibrosis were not included due to lack of spicules. The bone marrow aspirates were reviewed for an increase in mast cells (1+ to 3+), dyspoietic features within mast cells (decreased cytoplasmic granularity, uneven granule distribution), and a predominance of fusiform mast cells.

Results.—All cases, except 2 MDSs, had evaluable bone marrow spicules. Of interest, the MPDs were significantly more associated with increased and dyspoietic mast cells (57% and 61%, respectively) than were the MDSs (11% and 4%, respectively). The 2 polycythemia veras and 6 chronic myelomonocytic leukemias did not reveal increased or dyspoietic mast cells.

Conclusions.—These findings indicate that MPDs (chronic myeloid leukemia and essential thrombocythemia) frequently contain neoplastic mast cells as the spectrum of abnormal bone marrow cells. This feature, in conjunction with other parameters, may possibly be useful in the differential diagnosis of MPDs and MDSs. Our findings, compared with the previously reported findings in SMCD, suggest that SMCD may be more closely related to MPDs than to MDSs.
Defining Error in Anatomic Pathology
Authors: Sirota Ronald L.
Published: February 2021

Context.—Although much has been said and written about medical error and about error in pathology since the publication of the Institute of Medicine's report on medical error in 1999, precise definitions of what constitutes error in anatomic pathology do not exist for the specialty. Without better definitions, it is impossible to accurately judge errors in pathology. The lack of standardized definitions has implications for patient care and for the legal judgment of malpractice.

Objectives.—To review the goals of anatomic pathology, to discuss the problems inherent in applying these goals to the judgment of error in pathology, to offer definitions of major and minor errors in pathology, and to discuss error in anatomic pathology in relation to the classic laboratory test cycle.

Data Sources.—Existing literature.

Conclusion.—Definitions for major and minor error in anatomic pathology are proffered, and anatomic pathology error is characterized in the classic test cycle.

Published: February 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o comportamento do setor de serviços e sua concentração nas cidades médias cearenses no período de 2004 e 2014. A reestruturação econômica mundial mais intensificada nas últimas três décadas produz desdobramentos significativos na economia e nos seus efeitos territoriais e urbanos. No Brasil este movimento se intensifica a partir dos anos 1990 trazendo novas configurações como o redirecionamento do crescimento das metrópoles e maior expansão das cidades médias. Na lógica da reestruturação, o Estado do Ceará recebeu nos anos 1990, investimentos significativos na esteira das políticas de incentivos públicos. A maior parte destes investimentos localizou-se na Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza e nas cidades médias, provocando impactos no mercado de trabalho e nos setores da economia urbana destas cidades.
Especificidades da produção científica sobre o “Land Grabbing”: um estudo bibliométrico (2010 – 2019)
Authors: Andreatta Tanice , Rodrigues Sintia Da Silva , Camara Simone Bueno , Zucatto Luis Carlos
Published: February 2021

O processo de globalização e a intensificação da circulação transnacional de capitais contribuíram para a emergência do Land Grabbing. O presente estudo dedica-se a realizar uma análise da literatura científica sobre do tema e suas conexões com o desenvolvimento. Os procedimentos metodológicos consistiram de uma revisão bibliométrica, considerando as métricas extraídas da plataforma digital Scopus e JCR. Para o interstício de 2010 a 2019, foi empregado o Methodi Ordinatio para obtenção do ranking dos artigos mais relevantes. Dentre os principais resultados da pesquisa, observa-se que os estudos sobre Land Grabbing têm focado no debate sobre a apropriação de terras para a produção de alimentos e biocombustíveis. Conjunto expressivo de artigos tem foco na análise sobre os impactos sociais da apropriação de terras em escala global, a incluir as discussões sobre a perda de ecossistemas. No Brasil, a temática é polêmica, uma vez que a apropriação de terras pode gerar perdas para agricultores, por outro lado, pode ser percebida como uma oportunidade de investimentos com vistas ao desenvolvimento tecnológico e produtivo. A despeito do volume expressivo de trabalhos científicos sobre o tema, não foi possível construir uma definição globalmente aceita, mas existem lacunas que devem intensificar os debates nos próximos anos.

Authors: Ferron Jeferson Da Luz , Troian Alessandra
Published: February 2021

As características históricas de formação econômica do Brasil, calcada em cima da grande propriedade e da monocultura para exportação, marca os conflitos de interesse e de poder em torno da posse e acesso à terral. No entanto, nas últimas décadas tem-se assistido a pressão dos movimentos sociais e a luta pelo acesso à terra. Neste sentido, o presente estudo visa apresentar o estabelecimento dos assentamentos rurais em Santana do Livramento (RS). Metodologicamente a pesquisa caracteriza-se como qualitativa, realizada a partir da análise documental e bibliográfica. Como resultados destaca-se que o estabelecimento dos assentamentos rurais em Santana do Livramento ocorreu em concomitância ao processo de fortalecimentos das políticas em reforma agrária no Brasil. A partir da década de 1990, com a criação de 15 assentamentos o município passou a fazer parte do mapa da reforma agrária brasileira, sem resistência por parte dos fazendeiros locais. Contudo, nos anos 2000, período em que houve o desenvolvimento de mais 15 assentamentos, houve discordância com a vinda dos agricultores assentados resultando em conflitos públicos, protagonizados por pecuaristas tradicionais do município, entes públicos e demais atores sociais. Atualmente Santana do Livramento conta com 30 assentamentos rurais, os quais dão dinâmica social e econômica à região.

Authors: Nachtigall Yasmin Dal Lago , Viola Mariana da Silva , Gonçalves Gabriel Eduardo , Oliveira Sibele Vasconcelos de
Published: February 2021

A pobreza, o desemprego e as desigualdades têm sido problemas socioeconômicos perseguidos pelas agências públicas e privadas em promoção ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Para alcance aos ODS, a Agenda 2030 definiu planos de ação com vistas a articular esforços para que a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar social possam ser percebidos nas diferentes regiões do globo. No Brasil, muitas iniciativas inclusivas de geração de trabalho e renda fazem uso das tecnologias sociais. Sendo assim, o presente estudo visa analisar as especificidades da elaboração e aplicação das tecnologias sociais, bem como avaliar algumas experiências no tocante ao combate às vulnerabilidades socioeconômicas. Observou-se que nos últimos anos, muitos movimentos institucionais e coletivos foram implementados com vistas ao desenvolvimento. A constituição de comissões nacionais e regionais para acompanhar a implementação dos ODS são exemplos passíveis de serem citados. Ainda, a criação da RTS, bem como a aplicação de tecnologias sociais nas diferentes regiões do Brasil (Banco de Palmas, RICS, PAIS, dentre outras) dão conta de exemplificar os processos e conhecimentos que vêm sendo implantados com o objetivo de atendimento à Agenda 2030.
Agroecologia e tecnologia social como caminhos para o desenvolvimento rural integral: Uma aproximação
Authors: Tait Márcia Maria , Neves Ednalva Felix , Gonçalves Gabriel
Published: February 2021

Tanto sob a perspectiva empírica, como teórico-conceitual, a Tecnologia Social (TS) pode ser entendida como aquela tecnologia que melhor se alinha à proposta de resolver os problemas sociais: primeiro, a TS possibilita o processo de construção social da tecnologia, isto é, os atores sociais que utilizarão a tecnologia participam da construção da mesma. Além disso, ao invés de garantir os objetivos de geração de lucro, ela é voltada para resolver problemas sociais e, dentre estes, a exclusão social. A TS se alinha à temática do desenvolvimento rural, tanto pela crítica aos problemas sociais gerados pelo capitalismo, como, pela crítica a sua insustentabilidade ambiental. Além disso, as discussões sobre o desenvolvimento rural, durante a década de 1990 marcaram a diferenciação entre a agricultura familiar (geralmente, pequena) e a grande agricultura – elemento essencial para mostrar a importância de se desenvolver políticas públicas para a agricultura familiar. A Agroecologia também se posiciona criticamente contra os problemas gerados pelo capitalismo, destacado que o modelo da grande agricultura, com seus objetivos de lucro, não se alinha à proposta de sustentabilidade. Em contraposição, é são os pequenos agricultores familiares que vêm se dedicando a desenvolver práticas agrícolas alternativas, que se alinham à proposta de uma sociedade sustentável (sob a perspectiva econômica, ambiental, social, etc.).

O PARÂMETRO DO SUJEITO NULO: UMA ANÁLISE CONTRASTIVA ENTRE O PORTUGUÊS E O ALEMÃO
Authors: Gerhardt Carla Carine
Published: February 2021

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar, através dos pressupostos da Gramática Universal (GU), que faz parte da Gramática Gerativa, desenvolvida por Noam Chomsky (1965), como a questão do parâmetro do sujeito nulo se sucede em línguas que não seguem todos os princípios da GU, como o português. Para realizar tal apresentação, são apresentados os principais teóricos do inatismo como teoria de aquisição e desenvolvimento da linguagem e os pressupostos da GU, conforme sua constituição histórica. Depois, comparam-se de exemplares de frases da língua portuguesa, em que o parâmetro do sujeito nulo ocorre, com exemplares correlatos de frases da língua alemã, em que a expressão do sujeito é obrigatória e constitui um princípio. Assim, são utilizadas uma oração com sujeito oculto e outra sem sujeito da língua portuguesa. Através dessa análise, evidencia-se que a gramática universal, apesar de possuir princípios rígidos, pode comportar os chamados parâmetros, que são princípios abertos, obtidos através do meio linguístico ambiente.

A Ditadura Militar brasileira revista em dois textos de Salim Miguel
Authors: Silva Ana Cláudia de Oliveira da
Published: February 2021

O  presente  trabalho  centra-se  na  análise  do  livro Primeiro  de  abril: narrativas  da  cadeia e  na crônica Seqüelas  de  uma  prisão,  presente no compêndio Eu  e  as  corruíras, do  escritor  catarinense  Salim  Miguel.  Nesses relatos,  destaca-se  a  experiência  traumática  vivida  pelo  autor  durante  os quarenta   e   oito   dias   em   que   esteve   preso   pela   Ditadura   Militar,   em Florianópolis, e suas consequências futuras. Assim, tanto no relato testemunhal quanto  na  crônica  pode-se  perceber  certa  dificuldade  em  dizer  aliada a  um dever  ético  de  lembrar,  de  não  deixar  esquecer.  Dever  este  que  subjaz a própria  subjetividade  do  escritor-narrador  que,  mesmo  traumatizado,  intenta debruçar-se  sobre  os  acontecimentos  de  forma  racional,  isenta,  e  encontra reflexos inclusive na forma escolhida para narrar. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho é analisar o porquê de certas escolhas formais na narrativa, buscando, para isso, auxílio na crônica jornalística produzida pelo escritor.
Dos Amarais aos Terra Cambarás: Poder, conflito e memória em O tempo e o vento
Authors: Conceição Francisco Mateus
Published: February 2021

Ao longo da história de O Continente narra-se a origem e a ascensão social da família Terra Cambará. Tal ascensão ocorrerá através do casamento de Bolívar com Luzia, de maneira que da origem até essa geração, a família fará parte da periferia do poder exercido pelos Amarais. Por isso, há uma clivagem social fortemente marcada na parte inicial da obra. No tocante a isso, os momentos de maior tensão provavelmente estejam no capítulo Um Certo Capitão Rodrigo. Nitidamente, há, nessa parte da narrativa, um conflito social, sendo que a família Amaral representa o poder econômico e político, enquanto Rodrigo e Juvenal pontificam a voz dos socialmente excluídos. Esse conflito se dá, também, no terreno da memória. Inicialmente, a versão oficial dela é controlada pela família Amaral, mas, ao mesmo tempo, a sua contraposição é repetida, furtivamente, pela “massa do povo”, os homens e mulheres que estão sob o comando dessa família. Com a ascensão dos Terra Cambarás, a tensão social parece evanescer na sequência da trilogia. Pretendemos demonstrar que, diferentemente dos Amarais, aqueles utilizarão também da sedução para se manter no poder, caracterizando-se, através do Dr. Rodrigo, o que Roberto Schwarcz denomina “dialética do favor”.

Published: February 2021

In this paper are presented a few power based organizations; the conflicts, power and conflict, power excercise and conflict resolution. Bibliographic research was used as this paper methodology, as it enables a rereading about the topic with a new perspective on writings from Bowditch, Foulcault, Galbraith, Mintzberg, Moscovici, Spector, and others. Literature points that the conflicts can be considered beneficial or malefic to the organization, as they can motivate an employee to grow, personally and professionally, possibilitating an better individual and group perforamnce. As to the resolution of this conflicts, the negotiation is an indicated alternative, as long as the professional in charge is capacitated, that is, he has the knowledge of the conflict generating process, to search for a solution that meets, in a reasonable and just way, the objectives, interests, needs and aspirations of the parts involved in the conflict. Therefore, the conflict can impose a threat to the organization stability as it can allow mutual growth, that is, the company, administrator and colaborator can get benefitted from a conflicting situation, as long as the correct alternatives are used for the conflict solving.

Published: February 2021

Regional food brands generate competitive differential because consumer links some desired attributes with a positive image of product's geographical origin. Such image influences the buying decision process, facing their perceptions about brand attributes and desired benefits in consuming products from these brands. On this view, this paper evidences the cognitive structure of consumers of roasted and milled coffee from Lavras' region, Minas Gerais State. Based upon in depth interviews, utilizing the laddering qualitative technique, it was made a hierarchic value map, that shows a connection of the regional brands to the attributes: ‘sensorial characteristics' , ‘from the region', ‘known brand', ‘lower price' and ‘pureness food'. From these attributes, the consumers believe in the possibility to reach personal values as: ‘self achievement', ‘personal and collective wellbeing', ‘happiness', ‘nostalgia', ‘life quality' and ‘longevity'.

The understanding of loyalty antecedents has been a challenge for most Marketing researchers. Due to technological advances, significant churn of consumers and open carrier’s portability, the mobile phone market is considered an important field of study for loyalty. This paper aims to identify the antecedents of loyalty in the mobile phone market, applying traditional models cited in the classic loyalty literature, as satisfaction, commitment, quality, change costs and inertia. In the other hand, this research considered simultaneously the influences of functional and psychological involvement of the consumer as antecedents of loyalty, enabling a broader discussion. This work also proposes to verify the impacts of the contextual elements (negotiation and contract renewal conditions) on the consumer’s loyalty. A survey was accomplished, with 270 respondents. The results revealed that satisfaction and quality have important impacts on intentional loyalty, but no impact on behavioral loyalty (bill, churn rate and dispersion). The importance of this study refers to its contribution to explain the declared (behavioral) loyalty in contrast with intentional loyalty, as the inclusion of contextual and individual elements in the hypothetical loyalty models.

The proposal of the present study is to verify if companies that  adopted the model of human resources internal consulting innovated more in their management practices than those who keep a traditional practice. It was included the development of a conceptual model to guide the methodology. The exploratory research used secondary data belonging to a universe of 541 national and multinational companies of different sizes, and 139 000 interviwed  in a longitudinal study between the years 2007 to 2011. The sample is not probabilistic and typically consisted of 26 companies, and the study's findings suggest that, the ARH that adopt the internal consulting practices had 64 in 2007 and 128 in 2011, while the traditional left of 59 practices in 2007 to 127 in 2011. Realize that 7% of companies that adopt the model of internal consulting lack a steady increase of practices over the years. Already 14% of ARH that adopted the traditional model did not obtain a progressive practices. It was also observed that the ARH innovated with little internal consulting (128 practices) in terms of increased practical than traditional (127 practices). However, this result can not be considered statistically significant. Despite the limitations of this study, one of its contributions is regarded to a possible agenda of research.

The tools broached here are considered under the theoretical aspect, but allowing a posterior application in the management process, in the search for green productive technologies and specific certifications. The research uses as methodology the deductive method, searching for general theory of the microeconomic a specific application in the environmental management; and as procedure technician the bibliographical research. The consolidation of the applicability of the microeconomic theory in the aspects of the enterprise environmental management is verified thus, mainly for the fact that the environmental question currently influences directly the strategic planning of the organizations.

As interações comunicativas entre familiares ouvintes e sujeitos surdos é uma temática incipiente, desafiante. A família é o primeiro e mais próximo grupo social com o qual o sujeito mantém as relações, que influenciam diretamente o seu desenvolvimento global. Esta pesquisa, ancorada na abordagem histórico-cultural de Vigotski, objetivou analisar aspectos de um processo de reflexão junto a familiares ouvintes de sujeitos surdos, acerca de suas interações comunicativas em ambiente doméstico. Os participantes foram seis famílias, constituídas por membros ouvintes e um surdo, sendo este matriculado em uma escola pública inclusiva bilíngue. O percurso metodológico deu-se em três etapas: 1. Analisar as interações comunicativas no cotidiano das famílias; 2. Realizar um processo de reflexão com os familiares acerca dos resultados obtidos na etapa 1; 3. Repetir a etapa 1 visando identificar contribuições da etapa 2 para as interações comunicativas. As etapas foram videogravadas e norteadas pelo instrumento “Escala de Avaliação da Linguagem Oral no Contexto Familiar (EVALOF)”, adaptado para essa pesquisa. Como resultados constatamos que a forma mais frequente de comunicação na etapa 1 foi a bimodal. Comparando as características comunicativas nas etapas 1 e 3, houve melhora no desempenho de diversos itens da escala, para todas as famílias. Já a etapa 2 possibilitou, a partir da escuta aos familiares, a ressignificação da relação destes com o membro surdo e com a Libras. As instituições de Educação Bilíngue para surdos podem e devem promover ações como esta, visto que escola e família são corresponsáveis pela constituição dos surdos enquanto sujeitos bilíngues.

Common beans are an important protein source for human diet. Much cultivated in small farms it is considered a subsistence crop, employing little cultivation technology. It presents a high susceptibility to temperatures above 28 °C in reproductive periods, causing abortion of plant parts due to the high temperature triggering the plant ethylene synthesis. The agroclimatic zoning for culture does not emphasis on air temperature, which affects the crop. With these assumptions, the aim of this work was to evaluate the high temperature thermal risk for the bean crop in Cruz Alta, Passo Fundo and São Luiz Gonzaga. From the maximum air temperature data obtained since 1961, we obtained the average frequency of days at which the maximum air temperature was equal or greater than 28 °C in ten-day periods. The bigger thermal risk was found in the third ten-day period of January and in the last ten-day period of December. Passo Fundo showed the better thermal conditions for bean crop. São Luiz Gonzaga, even during periods not indicated for the culture, during winter, still showed happen at least one day of thermal risk.

This article presents the results of a survey about the internal bus service from UFSM, held in 2015. The survey showed the main points of satisfaction and discontent regarding the operation of the line at the time. Data were collected through an electronic Google Docs form, accessed via email, resulting in a sample of 915 students enrolled in the various undergraduate and graduate campus courses (5.3% of the population). The main results showed that 20% of respondents do not know this service and the predominance of use of the service is the daytime. Users showed greater dissatisfaction with the vehicle's internal climate control and bus condition. The items time, frequency and route of the bus, number of seats and punctuality had a high level of satisfaction. It is concluded that greater disclosure of the service and its characteristics is necessary, especially for students of night courses, and improvement in the physical condition of the vehicle.

This study was carried out with the purpose of proposing a construction of confidence intervals for the critical point of a second degree regression model using a parametric bootstrap methodology. To obtain the distribution of the critical point, height growth data of the plants were used. From the analysis, the theoretical variables for the error and the confidence intervals were constructed. In addition, we examined different variance expressions with the purpose of the bootstrap-t confidence interval. The point estimate of the critical point was 10.7423 g L-1 of fertilizer doses without growth of C. canjerana plants. It was verified that the confidence intervals that considered the expression of the variance with the covariance between the regression models, present more satisfactory results, that is, results with more precision.

AIDS is causes concern to society and has been a challenge for health authorities, as it affects an increasing number of people, many of whom become chronically ill, who need government assistance for its treatment, thus becoming a major public health problem. This work aims to understand the epidemiological profile of AIDS in Santa Maria and present the Multiple Correspondence Analysis as an exploratory data tool. A descriptive study was carried out, which relates the number of people notified with AIDS to the region of residence in Santa Maria, using a multivariate technique. We analyzed 893 cases of AIDS reported in Santa Maria of 2007 to 2013. When the multiple correspondence maps were evaluated, there was a relationship between the number of women and the southern region of the municipality, whereas men are related to the eastern region. It was also observed that there is a relationship between the mode of transmission: women sexual intercourse with men and men sexual intercourse with women and bisexual. The multiple correspondence analysis technique provided the verification of several relationships between socio-demographic variables and vulnerability factors.

Mangroves are areas of sediment transitions, favoring the cycling of materials associated with high concentration of microorganisms, presenting vulnerability to anthropogenic actions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of microbiota in mangrove sediments of the Anil River, in the city of São Luís, Maranhão. To produce surface active compounds (SACs), samples were collected according to the EMBRAPA methodology by inoculating them in the Bushnell Haas medium, with carbon sources varying at 3% (v/v). From the production obtained, the supernatants of each culture were submitted to E24 analysis, drop spreading, thermal stability/pressure and pH variation. The SAC-producing species were identified using the MALDI-QTOF MS method. The producing species were identified as Serratia marcescens (2), Ochrobactrum spp. (3). E24 values ranged from 33% to 48% yield, with stability increase after autoclaving of 3% to 6% and of 17% for basic pH ranges, demonstrating the feasibility of using regional microorganisms present in mangroves to produce SACs from different carbon sources, as they have good rates of emulsification and stability to the diverse environmental factors.

Water is the main resource for the world and humankind subsistence, being also used as a way to conduct nutrients and essential substances to life. The objective of this research was to evaluate the use of orange peel (Citrus sineses) as an adsorbent in water contaminated by heavy metals. To investigate this question, the group used calculations to know the recovery percentage of each analyzed metal, using 0.5g of adsorbent in solutions containing metals (Pb, Fe, Zn, Ni and Mn) with previously known concentrations in mg L-1. The metal analyzes were performed in an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-OES). The analysis of the response surfaces indicated that the greater mass of adsorbent there was a greater adsorption rate. Based on the obtained responses, 13 mg L-1 of Pb were reduced to 0.44 mg L-1, using 0.5 g of adsorbent, resulting in 96.7% of efficiency for the applied methodology. There was removal of metals in higher concentrations bands and mass, presenting efficiencies from 64.3% to 98.2%. The orange peel was adequate as an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from the solution.
