Frente a crise socioeconômica e ambiental, o Turismo de Base Comunitária (TBC) representa uma alternativa ao desenvolvimento que tem como escopo conservar os recursos naturais, promovendo o bem-estar das comunidades por meio da geração de renda e inclusão social. O objetivo deste estudo está em investigar os principais desafios e possibilidades para o desenvolvimento do turismo de base comunitária na comunidade ribeirinha São Gonçalo Beira Rio, marco da fundação do município de Cuiabá-MT. Metodologicamente optou-se pela pesquisa de campo; como ferramenta de análise situacional, a matriz de Swot e a análise dos dados foram concatenados com o discurso de Foucault. Os resultados preliminares evidenciam que a localidade de São Gonçalo Beira Rio apresenta possibilidades para o desenvolvimento do TBC, frente a riqueza de saberes e dos seus modos de vida desta comunidade. Porém, em função da complexidade e das inúmeras variáveis identificadas, será necessário um planejamento coletivo, iniciando-se pela sensibilização, mobilização e qualificação dos atores envolvidos, bem como adoção de estratégias comunitárias a fim de auferir melhores resultados.

O presente trabalho versa sobre os processos de educação contextualizada e seus impactos diretos frente à pobreza no Território do Sisal, na Bahia, a partir das contribuições e experiências das organizações sociais para a diminuição da pobreza, da garantia dos direitos de crianças e adolescentes, bem como o desenvolvimento local sustentável. Dessa forma, busca-se analisar como o trabalho do Movimento de Organização Comunitária (MOC), através da metodologia Conhecer, Analisar e Transformar a realidade do campo (CAT), incidem sobre as mudanças e se desdobram frente ao desenvolvimento local sustentável, assim como a situação de extrema pobreza na zona rural. A metodologia documental foi escolhida para traçar e compor o itinerário da pesquisa. Os resultados mostram que a contribuição do MOC foi salutar na mudança da paisagem socioeconômica e cultural de muitas pessoas, em particular de muitas crianças e adolescentes que vivem na zona rural, no Território do Sisal.

The consumption of new psychoactive substances (NPSs) has been increasing, and this problem affects several countries worldwide. There is a class of NPSs of natural origin, consisting of plants and fungi, which have a wide range of alkaloids, responsible for causing relaxing, stimulating or hallucinogenic effects. The consumption of some of these substances is prompted by religious beliefs and cultural reasons, making the legislation very variable or even ambiguous. However, the abusive consumption of these substances can present an enormous risk to the health of the individuals, since their metabolism and effects are not yet fully known. Additionally, NPSs are widely spread over the internet, and their appearance is very fast, which requires the development of sophisticated analytical methodologies, capable of detecting these compounds. Thus, the objective of this work is to review the toxicological aspects, traditional use/therapeutic potential and the analytical methods developed in biological matrices in twelve plant specimens (Areca catechu, Argyreia nervosa, Ayahuasca, Catha edulis, Datura stramonium, Lophophora williamsii, Mandragora officinarum, Mitragyna speciosa, Piper methysticum Forst, Psilocybe, Salvia divinorum and Tabernanthe iboga).

ABSTRACT: Green skills in the construction industry will fill in a very important role for the adaptation strategy to climate change and in development of more energy-efficient economies and employment growth to make EU states more climate-resilient. To get the most out of greening the economy vocational education research must develop the skills, knowledge and competence that resource-efficient processes and technologies need and integrate them into policy and the practices of business and the community. In order to respond the transition challenge to green economy BuS.Trainers project was drawn financed by ERASMUS+ program included in the Sector Skills Alliances for Design and Delivery of VET (Vocational Education and Training), because there was a central need along southern countries of Europe: lack of qualified VET trainers for teaching green skills in the construction industry. The project aims to identify and filling gaps of Green Skills for the trainers, who are providing training on EE (Efficiency Energy) and RES (Renewable Energy Sources) in construction industry through development and offer a training system for vocational trainers to perform better teaching in applied sustainable construction. In this article the strategy and results of the project in terms of construction trainer profile on green skills for Portugal are presented. It includes the results of an online survey and semi-structured interviews filled by VET trainers and other specialists for identification and definition of existing Green Skills Gaps. The project is coordinated by Fundación Laboral de la Construcción (FLC – Spain) and five European countries are involved: Spain, Greece, Italy, Malta and Portugal. This European project has duration of 3 years and started in December 2016. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Although the medicinal properties of Cannabis species have been known for centuries, the interest on its main active secondary metabolites as therapeutic alternatives for several pathologies has grown in recent years. This potential use has been a revolution worldwide concerning public health, production, use and sale of cannabis, and has led inclusively to legislation changes in some countries. The scientific advances and concerns of the scientific community have allowed a better understanding of cannabis derivatives as pharmacological options in several conditions, such as appetite stimulation, pain treatment, skin pathologies, anticonvulsant therapy, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases. However, there is some controversy regarding the legal and ethical implications of their use and routes of administration, also concerning the adverse health consequences and deaths attributed to marijuana consumption, and these represent some of the complexities associated with the use of these compounds as therapeutic drugs. This review comprehends the main secondary metabolites of Cannabis, approaching their therapeutic potential and applications, as well as their potential risks, in order to differentiate the consumption as recreational drugs. There will be also a focus on the analytical methodologies for their analysis, in order to aid health professionals and toxicologists in cases where these compounds are present. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
