Título: O USO DE PLANTAS MEDICINAIS POR POVOS TRADICIONAIS DO BRASIL Abstract: This study aimed to survey the occurrence of medicinal plants used by members of the community in the District of Taunay. The District of Taunay belongs to the municipality of Aquidauana and serves as the gateway to the seven Indigenous villages that comprise the Taunay/Ipegue Indigenous Land. The district is located in the Pantanal-Cerrado ecotone, in a rural area, approximately 42 km from the municipality of Miranda and 56 km from Aquidauana. This geographical isolation limits access to healthcare services provided in urban areas; consequently, traditional knowledge of medicinal plants and unconventional methods of treating illnesses and ailments constitute the most accessible and practical means for pain relief and healing. Information regarding the community’s use of herbal medicine was collected through visits to local cultivators of medicinal plants indicated by residents. Photographic records were taken of the species cultivated in household gardens and identified as being used for medicinal and therapeutic purposes, along with their common names, brief descriptions of their indications, the plant parts employed, and their forms of use, such as teas, poultices, oral preparations etc. This inventory resulted in the recording of 47 plant species in the Taunay District.

Título: GESTÃO SUSTENTÁVEL NO PANTANAL SUL-MATO-GROSSENSE SOB A VISÃO DA ECOSSOCIOECONOMIA Abstract: This dissertation analyzes eco-socioeconomy as a model of sustainable territorial management in the Southern Pantanal (MS, Brazil), articulating the principles of ecological economics, environmental ethics, and social justice toward a civilizational rationality grounded in life regeneration and collective responsibility. Acknowledging the Pantanal as a unique socio-ecological system, whose hydrological dynamics and sociocultural diversity require integrated and adaptive governance, the research investigates how eco-socioeconomy can be operationalized as a management model capable of reconciling environmental conservation, sustainable production, and community empowerment, in alignment with legal, political, and institutional frameworks, as well as the ecological and cultural particularities of the biome.The study follows a qualitative and exploratory design, organized into four analytical stages: (i) ecological, hydrological, and sociocultural characterization of the Pantanal; (ii) theoretical and normative analysis of eco-socioeconomy in dialogue with bioeconomy and green economy; (iii) mapping and selection of key stakeholders through the Pontes Pantaneiras network (2023–2025); and (iv) exploratory analysis of three Third-Sector organizations — Instituto Homem Pantaneiro (IHP), Aliança 5P Association, and WWF-Brazil — based on institutional forms and content analysis of public and technical documents. Findings reveal that these organizations integrate, at distinct scales, conservation–production arrangements, critical education, participatory governance, ecological justice, and territorial co-responsibility, demonstrating the practical applicability of eco-socioeconomy as a sustainable management framework. It is concluded that eco-socioeconomy represents a paradigmatic and civilizational transition pathway, anchored in the ethics of care, social cooperation, and the valorization of local knowledge, offering theoretical and operational foundations for public policies and governance models aligned with Brazilian legislation, international conventions — such as Ramsar — and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.

Título: Ensino para o Antropoceno: contribuições da Ciência Ecologia Abstract: Ecology is a complex and broad science, seeking to understand how ecosystems function and the factors that regulate the distribution of living beings on Earth. Ecology is fundamental in teaching, enabling students to not only interpret natural phenomena but also understand their role in the natural environment. Understanding how the natural environment functions is extremely important, especially in the current environmental crisis we are experiencing—a period of rising global temperatures, floods, droughts, and tornadoes—of an intensity and frequency far exceeding those experienced previously. In this dissertation, we evaluate the scientific trends being produced within the theme of teaching ecology in the Anthropocene and the scope of published scientific research. Through this research, we hope to contribute data that demonstrates how ecology teaching has been developing, highlighting its shortcomings and the potential contributions of this science to understanding the environmental crisis of our time.

Título: AVALIAÇÃO DO USO DE LODO DE ESTAÇÕES DE TRATAMENTO DE ESGOTO COMO ESTABILIZADOR EM CAMADAS DE PAVIMENTO Abstract: The management of sludge from water treatment plants (WTP) and sewage treatment plants (WWTP) represents a significant environmental and economic challenge in Brazil, where landfill disposal is costly and unsustainable. Previous studies have explored the use of sludge as an alternative material in paving. Still, most have focused on static properties such as compressive strength, leaving a gap in the evaluation of dynamic and resilient behavior under cyclic loads, essential for pavement base layer applications. In addition, there is a paucity of research that integrates technical, environmental, and economic analysis for tropical lateritic soils. The objective of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility of using WWTP sludge as a stabilizer in pavement base layers, investigating the mechanical behavior of lateritic soil mixtures (Red-Yellow Ultisol) with sludge in different proportions (5%, 7.5% and 10%). A systematic review of the literature and an experimental study were carried out with geotechnical characterization of soil and sludge, compaction tests, Mini-CBR, expansion, and resilience modulus, following national standards (DNIT and ABNT). The sludge was collected from the Los Angeles WWTP (Campo Grande-MS) and incorporated into the soil of the J-10 deposit. The mixture with 7.5% sludge showed the best performance, with a 60% increase in CBR (from 13.8% to 21.8%) and maximum dry density of 1.979 g/cm³, meeting the criteria for sub-base of flexible pavements (CBR ≥ 20%). There was no expansion in any mixture. Contents higher than 10% significantly reduced strength and density, indicating a transition limit in the material structure. As limitations, the study did not include permanent deformation tests under cyclic loading, which are essential to validate performance in real traffic conditions. In addition, the environmental analysis was limited to initial leaching trials, with no long-term monitoring or evaluation of organic micropollutants. It is recommended to carry out permanent deformation tests, build experimental stretches for validation in the field, and conduct a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to quantify environmental and economic gains. Studies with other types of soils and silts are also needed to expand the applicability of the results. Tipo: Dissertação
