Nonprofit organizations in the system of interethnic relations: history and contemporary developments
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Livshin A.
Published: April 2024

To understand the modern role of nonprofi t organizations in the system of interethnic relations, it is important to analyze the historical experi-ence of public participation in the formation of ethnic policies in Russia. The goal of this article is to identify the potential of civil society organizations in the field of harmonization of interethnic relations, and to consider the possibilities and limitations of the potential of national-cultural autonomies based on reference to historical experience and its comparison with modern phenomena. To achieve research goals, the article uses a historical-genetic method that allows us to identify cause-and-eff ect relationships of historical processes and phenomena, as well as classifi cation methods that allow to systematically analyze the mechanisms of cross-sector partnership. Th e idea of national-cultural autonomy as a tool for maintaining and harmonious development of the cultural identity of “non-dominant” ethnic groups gained particular popularity in Austria-Hungary and Russia at the beginning of the twentieth century. The revival of this concept in our time is due to the fact that NCA is a historically established and theoretically substantiated “classical” principle for implementing ethnocultural development that does not violate the political structure and territorial-administrative composition of multinational states. However, the national-cultural autonomies created in accordance with the 1996 law are heterogeneous both in size and development potential. Due to this inconsistency, the possibilities of civil society in the ethnocultural and ethnopolitical sphere are realized not only in the form of creating national and cultural autonomies, but also using other organizational and legal forms. Th e nonprofi t sector is the organizational and economic basis of civil society, and it is in this capacity that it reflects the diversity of public interests. Th e role of the nonprofi t sector is not limited to representing the interests of diverse groups, including national and religious groups, in the public political space. Nonprofi t organizations are called upon to solve specifi c problems of society, provide social assistance, prevent crises and help resolve them. It is in this capacity that they are most useful as a tool for harmonizing interethnic relations. Civil society organizations, due to natural resource limitations, cannot eff ectively solve the problems of harmonizing interethnic relations without cooperation with the state and business. The issues of development of national culture and national heritage, social assistance and support for representatives of various ethnic groups, public participation in the activities of government bodies on issues of interethnic relations become the responsibility of various civil structures involved in the system of intersectoral social partnership
Diasporas and interethnic competition as factors of ethnoconfessional tension in modern Russia
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Budanov M.
Published: April 2024

The changing nature of migration processes in the post-Soviet space, the sharp asynchrony of the demographic behavior of various ethnic groups and other modern factors are aggravating society’s attitude towards diaspora practices. The main motive for uniting the diaspora is ethnofavoritism. It is possible to interpret both tribalistic and familistic preferences, characteristic of traditional societies, as manifestations of “extended egoism.” These preferences undermine the multi-level and extremely complex system of impersonal trust in a multicultural society and reduce the overall quality of its social capital. Today we are faced with an obvious contradiction in the issue of managing ethnocultural diversity: on the one hand, the diaspora model of behavior in a multicultural society is inevitable, on the other hand, government bodies, civil society institutions, and the media are not coping with the task of stopping the influence of diaspora practices on increasing interethnic competition in the Russian society.
Formation of interethnic and interfaith harmony among youth in the framework of extracurricular work with students of Russian universities
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Sazhina V.
Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of an analysis of the activities of 201 Russian universities based on a survey in the information and analytical system “Monitoring” of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science regarding the strategic objectives of the country’s national and youth policy: harmonization of interethnic (interethnic) relations, prevention of extremism and preventionof conflicts on national and religious grounds, increasing the level of interethnic (interethnic) and interfaith harmony among young people. It has been revealed that in the vast majority of universities, work aimed at harmonizing interethnic relations among students, as well as improving the quality of their adaptation processes to new living and learning conditions, is underway. In 64.7% of the universities surveyed there is an International Friendship Club (IFC) or a community with a diff erent name, positioning itself in its activities as an IFC. The main attention in the activities of the IFC is paid to students who arrived from other countries and, therefore, to building an interethnic dialogue at an international level. The problems of interethnic relations among students that represent the native peoples of Russia are addressed much less frequently. The theme of interfaith interaction is practically relevant. The activities carried out are focused mainly on the tasks of ensuring cross-cultural communications, as well as assistance to foreign students. It is concluded that universities have strong support for working on the harmonization of interethnic relations already, while in the context of an aggravated geopolitical situation, student organizations need to increase attention to the task of increasing the level of harmony among native peoples of Russia and strengthening the unity of the Russian nation.
Diaspora identity construction: egyptian greeks in the late 19th — early 20th centuries
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Petrunina O.E.
Published: April 2024

A growth of national ideologies, which became the ideological basis of liberation movements and the creation of national states, can be observed in the 19th century Ottoman Empire. Th is trend is also noticeable in Egypt, which enjoyed wide autonomy within the Empire. At that time, there were favorable conditions for the emergence of large communities of Orthodox Greeks, whose well-being grew rapidly thanks to entrepreneurship and trade. Despite the fact that these people came from diff erent places, by the beginning of the 20th century we can say that they had a common national identity. The article attempts to consider what were the tools for the formation of this identity and how did they act. For this purpose, various sources were analyzed: charters of community associations, memoirs, unpublished diplomatic documents, church journalism and press materials. As a result, it was possible to find out the role played in the formation of a single Greek identity by community organization, Greek consular authorities, schools, the Church, local newspapers and magazines.
TO THE QUESTION OF CONVERSION OF CLOSED ADMINISTRATIVE-TERRITORIAL FORMATIONS INTO FEDERAL TERRITORIES
Authors:   Institute of state law and national security of the Baikal State University, Irkutsk, Russian Federation, Praskova S.V.
Published: April 2024

The article proposes to evaluate the possible consequences of the transformation of closed administrative-territorial formation (CATFs) into federal territories. Th e author comes to the following conclusions. Giving CATF the status of a federal territory will make it possible to more accurately determine its place in the territorial structure of Russia, eliminating the current duality of its legal nature (as an administrative-territorial entity and as a municipal entity). The withdrawal of the CATF territory from the territory of a subject of the Russian Federation will solve the problem of the mismatch between the borders of CATFs and regions, but the procedure for creating, transforming and abolishing CATFs will not change signifi cantly. Within the framework of the federal territory of a closed type, it will be possible to form a completely new system of state bodies. Th e author proposes to create a single centralized system managed by the head of a CATF, accountable to the relevant department. At the same time, territorial bodies of federal authorities can be retained on the territory of CATFs only if necessary. In terms of the organization of local self-government, it is proposed to abandon the identity of the territory of a CATF and the territory of the municipality. Either smaller municipalities within a closed federal territory should be created, or the structure of a municipality can be completely abandoned, providing fi nancing the activities of local governments at the expense of the budget of the federal territory. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that a closed federal territory is able to more effectively provide a special regime for the safe functioning of organizations and objects.
Russia as a multinational state: main development trends and governance mechanisms
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Polunov Alexander Yu.
Published: April 2024

Regulation of interethnic relations is one of the key areas of activity of the state and society in Russia. In the course of the Russia’s history, considerable experience has been accumulated in this area, and the analysis of this experience allows us to understand the features of modern management in the fi eld of interethnic and interfaith relations. Th e article examines the main trends in the development of Russia as a multi-ethnic state and the mechanisms used at different stages of its evolution to manage ethnic diversity. Author stresses that the task of harmonizing relations between the peoples inhabiting Russia was faced by the authorities already in the early stages of the development of statehood. Th e fl exible use of the principles of governance borrowed by Russian rulers from neighboring states (in particular, the Golden Horde) yelped to expand the state’s territory to the East. Maintaining the local autonomy, the alliance of authorities with local elites, their involvement in governance matters, the ability to protect local peoples from external aggression, and to act as an arbiter in resolving disputes between them — the application of all these principles helped to integrate the new territories into the Russian state. Of course, these techniques did not always work. However, their successful use for quite a long time deserves the attention of researchers, and the experience accumulated in those years can be used in planning and implementing modern national policies.

A produção de polímeros avança a cada ano, trazendo consigo preocupações relativas ao meio ambiente. Uma forma de mitigar este problema é a reciclagem desses materiais. Contudo, ao reciclar um polímero, parte de suas propriedades mecânicas são perdidas, gerando um interesse em produzir compósitos com esses materiais. Visando o meio ambiente, ressalta-se as fibras naturais – lignocelulósicas –, que são abundantes na natureza e biodegradáveis. Contudo, a adesão dessas fibras a matrizes poliméricas é prejudicada por conta da natureza distinta desses materiais – polar e apolar. Deste modo, este trabalho se propõe estudar o efeito de diferentes tipos de fibras lignocelulósicas em uma matriz polimérica de PEAD reciclado, com teores variados e avaliar o efeito do compatibilizante no material. Os materiais foram preparados em extrusora dupla-rosca, os corpos de provas foram obtidos por compressão e posteriormente caraterizados por densidade, dureza e absorção de água. De forma geral, foi observado que as diferentes fibras impactaram nas propriedades dos compósitos obtidos. A presença da fibra promoveu uma redução na dureza dos materiais. Por outro lado, proporcionou um aumento na densidade e na absorção de água dos compósitos.

Autism: Clinical impacts and late diagnosis in women - Literature review
Authors: Ritzmann de Lima Pâmela , Leonardi Diman Louise , Cristina Marques Moura Laís , Jahn Henning Brenda , Antônio Schueda Marco
Published: April 2024

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, marked by deficits in communication and social interaction and restricted and repetitive behavior patterns. With the expansion of information dissemination about autism and improvements in diagnostic methods, the prevalence of the disorder has increased considerably in recent decades. However, because autism has multiple facets and different presentations, diagnosis is still a challenge, especially in females, where there are singularities that further undermine suspicions, leading to underdiagnosis. Given this, there are multiple questions about the causes and implications of these factors in the diagnosis of autistic girls and women. Thus, the objective of this research is to verify the causal factors and clinical implications associated with the difficulty in diagnosing ASD in females. This is a narrative bibliographic review, in which research was carried out in established databases. In general, it is noted that the diagnosis of autism in girls and women can be impacted by genetic, developmental, psychological, social and cultural influences, involving factors such as subtlety of symptoms, capacity for social adaptability, lack of studies, failure to diagnostic methodologies and instruments, as well as stereotypes and prejudices. Understanding these elements is essential to broaden the perspective of girls and women with ASD, highlight their particularities and ensure that they receive early diagnosis and treatment.

The research aimed to analyze the trajectory of environmental movements throughout history, highlighting their impacts, public policies and awareness initiatives in the promotion of environmental conservation and sustainable practices. To this end, a bibliographic research was carried out through the survey of articles on the Scopus, SciELO and Google Scholar platforms. As a result, it has been found that, from the Industrial Revolution to recent events such as Rio+20 and the Paris Agreement, the historical context has shaped these movements and influenced global sustainability policies. The emergence of environmentalism as a political and social force was a response to the challenges of environmental degradation and the unbridled exploitation of natural resources. Events such as the Love Canal disaster and the Stockholm Conference boosted environmental activism, culminating in Rio-92, which laid solid foundations for international cooperation and important environmental agreements. The Kyoto Protocol was crucial in the fight against climate change, while the Johannesburg Earth Summit and Rio+20 reaffirmed the commitment to sustainable development and global cooperation. Despite advances, challenges such as climate change require collaborative approaches involving governments, the private sector, and civil society. Environmentalism and sustainability represent commitments to the future, requiring continuity in awareness, responsible public policies, and sustainable practices to achieve an equitable and environmentally sound future.
Polypharmacy in the elderly and harm reduction

Published: April 2024

Increasing life expectancy is a humanitarian achievement, however, rapid population aging brings numerous challenges. The increase in longevity is related to the growth of chronic non-communicable diseases, which are generally multicausal, and the concomitance of comorbidities, especially in the elderly, can lead to polypharmacy. The simultaneous use of several medications can cause adverse events and very harmful drug interactions in the elderly, generating new health problems or aggravations to existing ones, which can result in unnecessary hospitalizations and death. Deprescribing aims to reduce harm and costs to patients, in addition to increasing their quality of life, and borders on the performance of person-centered care. It is a practice that is part of the essential care of family and community medicine, both because of the mode of care provided and because of the large elderly population assisted by this specialty. The withdrawal of inappropriate medications in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities is part of comprehensive patient care and can only be performed without the occurrence of iatrogenic events and with a person-centered approach. Therefore, a shared decision of care is necessary, in addition to health education for patients and their families, as well as continuing education for health professionals.

The increase in air pollution has caused harmful effects on fauna, flora and changes in biogeochemical cycles, making it crucial to raise society's awareness in mitigating and reducing these pollutants in the air. In this way, environmental awareness during basic education through Chemistry has become decisive for the social formation of the entire community. The objective of this work was to apply an interdisciplinary approach to the Teaching of Chemistry in basic education, through a thematic workshop using the Plickers platform as a complementary technological resource for the application of questionnaires. In addition, a gamification (board game) was carried out to promote teaching in a more interactive, dynamic and relaxed way, arousing greater interest among students. Finally, the results obtained helped in the teaching-learning process, highlighting new skills of the students that are often omitted in traditional teaching.
Literature and cultural difference: The teaching of literature in the Amazons
Authors: Dias Sebastião Gonçalves
Published: April 2024

The objective of this work is to elaborate a proposal for discussion on the teaching of literature in the Amazon, having as reference theorists who bring the challenge of discussing diversity, alterity and cultural differences, for that, we approach, in this discussion, theorists such as: Homi K. Bhabha (2010), Antoine Compagnon (2007), Marjorie Perloff (2013), Franz Fanon (2008), Walter Benjamin (1994), Antônio Candido (1995), among others, who propose the challenge of thinking about difference and cultural diversity. In this text, we will discuss reading practices and the teaching of literature in schools in the Amazon, as well as the advances, limitations and space reserved for literature in the curriculum and in school. The basic principle of the discussion is that what an individual understands by culture may not be seen in the same way by another, since the latter's gaze may be contaminated by the vice of rejection of the culture of others, inert to the differences of being beyond or on the border. In this sense, we are thinking here about the edges, the moving borders, the mixtures, capable of problematizing the model, the standardized forms.

The objective of this research was to analyze the challenges and opportunities that permeate integral education. To carry out this research, the integrative review methodology was adopted, combining data from different studies on integral education. A survey was carried out through systematic searches on Google Scholar and Scielo, with inclusion criteria restricted to scientific articles published between 2019 and 2023, in Portuguese. Other types of studies, such as theses and reports, were excluded, keeping the focus on the analysis of original articles. The reviewed research reveals a complex panorama of the challenges and perspectives related to the implementation of comprehensive education in public schools, highlighting the insufficiency of simply extending the time students stay in school to ensure quality education. In this sense, the need for a more comprehensive and holistic approach is emphasized, which considers not only structural and pedagogical aspects, but also the integrality of human development, including the importance of adequate school infrastructure, committed management and active involvement of the school community. The urgency of a reinvention of the socio-educational context, less focused on economic interests and more committed to human rights, is emphasized, promoting a pedagogical approach sensitive to individual differences and affections. In addition, the relevance of the participation of the school community in the construction of an integrated pedagogical proposal, which values school and popular knowledge, and the expansion of educational territories, through the involvement of the community, as essential elements for the integral formation of the individual, is recognized. In view of these challenges and perspectives, we emphasize the need for continuous studies and reflections that support the formulation and implementation of more effective and inclusive educational policies, requiring a joint effort of educational institutions, managers, teachers, students and the community to advance towards a truly integral education, capable of promoting the full development of each individual and contributing to the construction of a more just society. democratic and supportive.

The present research aimed to analyze the challenges and opportunities of full-time education, from the perspective of Teixeira (2007). To this end, a literature review was carried out, where it was possible to verify that the conception of integral education evidences the importance of teacher training, complementarity between home and school, and preschool education. The implementation of the comprehensive school presents challenges related to planning, time management, and infrastructure, but also offers opportunities to expand teaching and cover the physical, cognitive, intellectual, affective, social, and ethical aspects of students. Despite the challenges, the implementation of the comprehensive school seeks to offer a more complete and enriching education, promoting the integral development of students. Overcoming difficulties allows for an education that prepares students for the future. Collaboration between teachers, partnership with parents, and valuing preschool education are key to the success of this educational model. In addition, educators must work collaboratively, integrating different areas of knowledge and adapting their pedagogical practices.

Published: April 2024

Urban cleaning and waste management are activities with several associated risks, whether physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, accident and/or psychosocial. Thus, it was necessary to create a sectoral standard for Occupational Safety, to provide guidelines, regulate and guarantee the physical and mental health of these workers. Even with the use of other existing regulatory standards, these do not include all the activities performed by the category, such as: provision and maintenance of infrastructures and operational facilities for collection, manual and mechanized sweeping, urban cleanliness and conservation, transportation, transshipment, treatment and final disposal of solid waste from urban cleaning. In this context, the objective of this study is to analyze the impact of NR 38 on the safety and health of workers involved in urban cleaning and solid waste management activities. For this, the methodology adopted in this was a descriptive case study, based on bibliographic reviews found on the theme of urban cleaning and with the collection of data regarding accidents that occurred in the sector, showing high rates of accidents and deaths resulting from the activity. As a result, an awareness plan on NR 38 was proposed, where we contextualized the necessary training, awareness campaigns, the internal commission for the prevention of accidents and harassment - CIPA - NR 05, communication channels and incentives. However, an action plan was also prepared highlighting the main costs of adaptation and detailing the steps necessary to successfully implement NR 38 in an urban solid waste collection company.

Authors: Barbosa Christiane Lima
Published: April 2024

This research aims to present the pedagogical methodology applied in the discipline of Urban Transport based on the methods of active learning in the teaching of transport of the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The method applies student response mechanisms regarding adherence to the proposed activities and content using team-based and project-based learning, problem-solving, gamification and case study. The results highlight that 60% met the deadline for the delivery of the activities, the students obtained grades close to the maximum limit, whose focus was the relationship with the team, and in the group activities the overall score was higher than the individual one. It is concluded, therefore, that the use of active methodologies in the teaching of transportation in this discipline contributed to an active, participatory, collaborative and interactive pedagogical approach centered on the student, however, the challenge is to stimulate their engagement in group activities, attend to the learning and evaluation processes of the discipline, as well as the student's approval in this curricular component.

The progressiveness of the property tax as a communicative stimulus for respect for the social function of property
Authors: Lorenzon Luiza Boff
Published: April 2024

This article sought, through an explanatory and exploratory study, to analyze the issue of the Urban Property Tax (IPTU) regarding the application of the progressive rate over time as an instrument of validation and social effectiveness, using for this purpose the theory of communicative action of Jürgen Habermas. Such an analysis is pertinent, insofar as Municipalities, many times, aiming to discourage the maintenance of urban properties, impose on owners the payment of IPTU at a different rate, which ends up generating the so-called collection character. To this end, an examination of Habermas' theory of communicative action is followed, and then portrays and analyzes the progressive property tax over time. In the end, a relationship is made between the IPTU and the theory, in order to ascertain the foundations of this collection, analyzing mainly the effectiveness and social validation.
Evolutionary patterns of interleukin-6 (Il-6) and its impact on human health
Authors: Freitas Arthur Felipe Ferreira de , Freitas Nara Suzy Aguiar de , Mariano Maria Helena Queiroz de Araújo , Rushansky Eliézer , Maia Maria de Mascena Diniz
Published: April 2024

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine with properties pleiotropic derived from a polymorphic gene. The IL6 gene is located on the short arm of human chromosome 7 and containing four exons and four introns. The cytokine IL-6 is an important signaling agent between cells as the inflammatory reaction develops. Since cytokines are essential for life, studies show that the overproduction of IL-6 is often involved in various pathologies. It is well established that the frequency of different alleles of the cytokine genes varies between different populations of different species of mammals. Thus, this work aims to identify the relationship of synteny in relation to the preservation of order and the interaction between group of genes in the same chromosomal region based on the orthologs of the human IL6 gene in other five species of eutherian mammals and to investigate the selective signature of the IL6 gene in order to find conserved patterns in the genomes of mammals analyzed to observe their evolutionary history. We analyzed 40 genes adjacent to the IL6 gene in the genomes of Homo sapiens, Pan troglodytes, Gorilla gorilla, Pongo abelii, Camelus ferus and Equus asinus. The genetic sequences were obtained using the BLAST tool and aligned using the MEGA 11 program. We reviewed the literature looking for associations between the IL6 gene and its neighbors reported in previous studies. Finally, we analyzed the non-synonymous to synonymous substitution rates (dN/dS) between genomes in order to determine the selective signature of the IL6 gene. Among the 40 neighboring genes analyzed, only 11 were found to be in synteny, being present in all genomes. The conservation of these genes in different mammals suggests that IL6 and genes close to it may have evolved from a common ancestor and have been kept grouped together due to selective pressures during evolution. Furthermore, we found the NUP42 gene, which due to its moleculares properties, can influence the expression of the IL6 gene. The dN/dS ratio revealed a negative signature in the IL6 gene, which indicates that natural selection acts to maintain its conserved sequence, rejecting possible amino acid changes. Therefore, we conclude that our findings indicate that the IL6 gene remains conserved in the human genome during evolution. It is also noted that this gene may be influenced by its neighbors. With emphasis on the presence of the NUP42 gene, located close to IL6, which can act to regulate the expression of this cytokine in the body. Therefore, we suggest that future investigations include the evaluation of protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions in analyzes with the IL6 gene.

The PAJE Platform – Support for (Ex)sheltered Youth – Association carried out a project supported by Eurochild that involved eight Residential Shelters for children and young people at risk, in the Central region of Portugal, with the aim of giving a voice to users of the Residential Care system in Portugal, placing them in the place of social protagonism. A case study research was carried out where one hundred people between twelve and twenty-two years old, institutionalized during a period of one to ten years, were interviewed. The data were collected through residents' assemblies, without the presence of technicians or educators from the Shelters, and analyzed based on the content analysis methodology. The results revealed the importance of the reconstruction of plots, the rescue of identity and new possibilities of personal narratives of boys and girls. It is concluded that it is necessary to continue this type of work so that new public policies can be subsidized and rethink the way of serving this public.

This study explores the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and human ethics, focusing on Ulrich Beck's "risk society" theory, highlighting the challenges and risks that AI presents in modern industrial society. The work emphasizes the need for effective governance and regulation of AI, addressing the ethical issues related to its implementation, and the importance of aligning the technology with human ethical principles. In addition, the possibility of different ideologies sharing similar core values is discussed, highlighting the integration of universal human values in the development of AI systems. The research underscores the need for accountability and transparency in automated systems decisions, and the importance of collaboration between human and artificial intelligence for safe and balanced decisions. This bibliographic and exploratory study seeks to offer new perspectives for future research at the intersection of AI and ethics.

Alternative forms of domestic sewage treatments, such as Constructed Wetlands (WC) systems, are efficient and environmentally friendly. This effect can be intensified by associating two treatments to reduce the pollutant load, in this work, combined the Fenton reaction after a WC system for the removal of Organic Matter (OM). The experimental assay was carried out in a 5 x 5 factorial arrangement, with the factors beingH2O2 and Fe²+ at concentrations at both 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 %, and the variable response was OM at UV 254nm. The data were submitted to exploratory analysis, considering the effects of the factors and their interactions, performing the analysis of variance and statistical models Linear, Linear Plateau, quadratic and quadratic Plateau. There was an interaction between the factors, unfolding Fe²+ within H2O2, it was found that in all H2O2 concentrations, the plateau model was the one that best fitted. While in the unfolding H2O2 within Fe²+ it was found that in concentrations up to 50% of Fe²+ the quadratic model was better adjusted, while in the highest concentrations (75 and 100%) it was the plateau. Modeling demonstrated that the optimal dosage for this study is 25% H2O2 (250 mg L-1) / 33% Fe3+ (165 mg L-1), removing 92.75% OM.

Brazil is the leader in beef exports, being one of the largest producers in the world, in addition to occupying the third position of the world's largest milk producer. To obtain such status, it is necessary to make a large investment in the area of animal production, especially with regard to genetics, nutrition and health. The genetic improvement of breeding stock is one of the most important and necessary factors, because it directly contributes to the efficiency of production and reproduction of animals. Currently, the selection of animals aiming at sexual precocity is considered one of the strategies with a direct impact on the profitability of cattle farming. Methodologies for the analysis of reproductive characteristics have always been renewed, and among them, ultrasonography was considered a safe, non-invasive technique that allows monitoring the morphology and functionality through the echogenicity presented, without causing any risk to the integrity of the bull's reproductive system. This technique can be used as an indicator of sexual precocity, since pubertal animals appear to have a more hyperechoic testicular parenchyma when compared to prepubertal animals of the same age, and this fact can be explained by the changes that occur in the testicular parenchyma due to the onset of puberty and spermatogenesis. The use of ultrasonography is of paramount importance as a complementary diagnostic method in the andrological examination, as it facilitates the choice with greater precision and precocity of bulls that are already suitable for reproduction.

Every year, forest-based activities have been expanding in the State of Acre and, to ensure the environmental sustainability of ecosystems, several protection instruments have been created, including Environmental Licensing, to regulate activities and enterprises that use natural resources in a way that does not cause or minimize their degradation. In this sense, the present study aimed to analyze the licensing process in the State of Acre between 2010-14, specifically, regarding the Forest Industry sector in the activities of secondary harvesting and wood processing. For the methodology, the descriptive method was used, based on the collection of data from the Annual Management Reports of DIF/Imac, regarding the following: (a) evolution of the number of licensed secondary development projects; (b) evolution of the areas covered by licensed secondary development projects and (c) annual changes in the number and area covered by non-licensed projects. The results were: (a) significant protocol of environmental licensing processes in the simplified modality; (b) only in 10 municipalities of the State, there was a request for licensing for secondary development in the normal modality; (c) Rio Branco and Sena Madureira were the municipalities where there were more restrictions on licensing in both modalities. The study showed that the licensing presented a positive balance, as the total number of licensed enterprises in the evaluated period exceeded the number of non-licensed, reflecting on the development of the region's economy, where companies left illegality and began to contribute directly to the growth of the State.
