This text does not intend to exhaust the information about education in the municipality, but only to briefly characterize the history of education in the municipality. The study points out the development process of the region since the arrival of the first immigrants, through the establishment of its first school, and continuing to education in the present day, pointing out the training model adopted by the municipality in recent years according to official documents.

AUTISTIC SPECTRUM DISORDER (TEA)

This article was prepared as a final product of the Psychology Course at the Faculdade Venda Nova do Imigrante - FAVINI, for this purpose, a bibliographic and documentary study was carried out on the theme chosen by the student. The objective of the study was to understand the concept of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the possible mediations in socialization, learning and quality of life of individuals with ASD. The deepening of knowledge opens up a series of possibilities for methodologies of interaction, support, cognitive and social development of the person in question, as well as their family members and/or guardians. Rapid diagnosis is of great value for the development of the individual’s potential and social inclusion. The educational practice in people with ASD still needs to go a long way to actually guarantee their inclusion and develop their autonomy.

Quantifying Land Use Change Dynamics In Agrotourism Destinations: A Case Study From Venda Nova Do Imigrante, Brazil

Agrotourism is one of the main economic activities in the municipality of Venda Nova do Imigrante, located in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The objective of this research was to analyse the landscape changes generated by this economic activity. The methodology’s development through a stratified random selection, the thematic quality of the maps from the MAPBIOMAS platform was assessed. A confusion matrix was produced, and the kappa coefficient was calculated. Landscape metrics, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) from Instagram and Flickr Social Networks, satellite images and free Brazilian databases were used, along with the use of open source GIS software to analyse changes use and cover of land in the municipality generated over a period of 30 years and its relationship with agrotourism. In the results, it was obtained that the thematic quality of maps from the MAPBIOMAS platform was acceptable, the analysis of VGI in social networks was identified agrotourism farms located mainly in the south-east area of Venda Nova do Imigrante, the analysis of changes in land use and cover showed that the city had an increase in urban area around the Federal Highway BR-262 that cuts through the city and rural areas, as well as in the agrotourism farms evaluated, there was an increase in agricultural areas and planted forests.

U-Pb geochronology of a reversely zoned pluton: Records of pre-to-post collisional magmatism of the Araçuaí belt (SE-Brazil)?

Post-collisional reversely zoned plutons occurring in the Araçuaí belt frequently show basic cores enveloped by felsic rocks, with intense magma mingling/mixing features. The Venda Nova (VN) pluton presents, in addition to its mafic core composed of gabbronorites surrounded by syenomonzonites, a narrow ring of charnockite and norite. The VN is considered as a marker of the last magmatic phases of the Araçuaí orogenic collapse and bears one of the few high-quality Cambrian paleomagnetic data for the West Gondwana, but no geochronological data is yet available for it. In this paper, we report new in-situ U-Pb geochronological data (SHRIMP II) for the syenomonzonite, gabbro and charnockite of the Venda Nova pluton. These data are discussed and compared to the geochemical and geochronological data available for the post-collisional magmatic rocks of the Araçuaí orogen. The concordant ages of the syenomonzonite (496.9 ± 4.2 Ma, MSWD = 0.0019, n = 14) and gabbro (500.6 ± 3.7 Ma, MSWD = 0.0290, n = 14) are likely the crystallization age of the main plutonic body and corroborate the previous interpretation of paleomagnetic data. In contrast, two age groups were identified for the charnockite: Group I (n = 14, 624.0 ± 3.1 Ma, MSWD = 0.116), which includes zircon borders and rims without evidence of border reaction, and Group II (n = 6, 483.7 ± 7.4 Ma, MSWD = 0.0003) from zircon grains with luminous rims and older cores. Since the Venda Nova charnockite has (i) a distinct geochemical signature compared to other post-collisional charnockite bodies found in the same region, (ii) higher magnetic anisotropy degrees compared to other border units of the same intrusion, and (iii) marked sub-solidus deformation features, the Group I ages are suggested as the crystallization age of these rocks, while Group II ages would be better interpreted as a resetting due to the thermal influence of the syenomonzonite and gabbro intrusions. This implies that the VN is a composite magmatic complex with contributions of magmas from the pre-collisional magmatic arc and from the post-collisional melts originated in the crust and mantle across the Araçuaí lithosphere during orogen collapse.

Spatial distribution of anti-rabies post-exposure treatments associated with the decentralization process in Belo Horizonte, 2007 to 2011

Cases of canine attacks on people are reported because of the proximity of the dog to the households in several Brazilian cities. In the present study, we aim to evaluate post-exposure anti-rabies treatments with canine accidents between the years 2007 to 2011 in Belo Horizonte - MG. Duly notified data were obtained from the National System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). The spatial characteristics of the cases during the period of the study referred to the neighborhoods and the nine sanitary districts of the municipality of Belo Horizonte - MG. For georeferencing and spatial analysis, we used the software Maporama to identify the coordinates and the Geographic Information System ArcGIS for mapping. Considering the 6.153 prophylactic services that were georeferenced, the Norte, Venda Nova, Leste, and Centro Sul regions were highlighted due to the higher frequency of registered cases. It is suggested that an integrative action focused on canine population control, health education and epidemiological surveillance studies could contribute to the reduction of canine aggression cases.

First report of Dematophora bunodes causing root rot of taro (Colocasia esculenta ) and leatherleaf fern (Rumohra adiantiformis) in Brazil.

Colocasia esculenta, taro (T), is a major staple food crop in the tropics, including Brazil. Rumohra adiantiformis, leatherhead fern (LF), is broadly cultivated for its ornamental fronds that are used as a component of flower arrangements. Soft root rot of T and LF, and accompanying rapid plant wilt and death, was observed in plantations in Espírito Santo (Brazil), at Venda Nova do Imigrante, in April 2014 (LF) and July 2015 (T). Great losses were observed. Firstly, a few individual scattered plants showed symptoms of disease in the plantations, then aggregates of plants and, after a few seasons, the majority of the plants in the field died before harvest, leading to the abandonment of the activity by farmers. A white mycelial matt was observed on the crown and roots ofying T and LF plants. Infected corms become necrotic and dark brown mycelial strands were observed internally in tissues. Diseased organs were carefully washed and surface sterilized in 10% sodium hypochlorite. Samples of tissue were removed from the boundary of necrotic tissues and placed on potato dextrose-agar (PDA) plates and incubated at 23±2 C in the dark. Homogeneous mycelial colonies were isolated from both T and LF and, upon observation of microscope mounts under an Olympus BX 53 light microscope, pear-shaped hyphal swellings at the septae (Castro et al. 2013) were observed. . A representative isolate from each host was deposited in the local culture collection as COAD 2911 (LF isolate) and COAD 2912 (T isolate). Additionally, DNA was extracted from each culture using the Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega) and the internal transcriptional spacer region was PCR amplified using the primers ITS5 and ITS1 (White et al. 1990). The amplicons were sequenced by MACROGEN (http://www.macrogen.com). Consensus sequences were deposited in GenBank: MW561595 (LF), MW561596 (T). Consensus regions were compared against other sequences available in Genbank. A BLASTn analysis resulted in LF and T sequences respectively 99% (526/531bp) and 98% (412/420 bp) identity with that of Dematophora bunodes (MN984619). Additionally, a phylogenetic analysis of a selected sequence alignment was performed on the CIPRES webportal (Miller et al., 2010) using MrBayes v.3.1.1 (Ronquist & Huelsenbeck, 2003). A phylogenetic tree was generated showing that the placement of LF and T isolates is in D. bunodes (Wittstein et al. 2020). Pathogenicity tests were performed for LF and T isolates against their original hosts. For inoculum, bags of twice-autoclaved parboiled rice were seeded separately with each isolate, which were allowed to colonize the rice for two weeks. Four healthy young LF and T plants were utilized. Two extra healthy plants grown in the same conditions, but not inoculated, served as controls. Thirty g of Dematophora-colonized rice was placed in direct contact with stems or roots of each LF or T plant. Plants were maintained in a dew chamber for 48 h after inoculation and then transferred to a greenhouse bench. All inoculated plants developed wilt and root rot and died after 15-20 days. Controls remained healthy. White mycelial colonies were formed over tissues of diseased LF and T and upon observation under the microscope, typical pear-shaped swellings were observed in slides prepared from newly obtained pure cultures from LF and T. Dematophora bunodes (formerly Rosellinia bunnodes) has a worldwide distribution and is well known as a polyphagous plant pathogen (Farr and Rossman, 2020) but has never been reported as a pathogen either of LF or T before in Brazil and worldwide. Its report on LF and T further expands an already large host-range and resolves the etiology of the disease on LF and T.

Building an inversely zoned post-orogenic intrusion in the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian Araçuaí orogen (Brazil)

Post-orogenic plutons are excellent recorders of the last stages of collapsing orogens. In the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian Araçuaí orogen (Brazilian Southeast), one of the Brasiliano orogenies (Western Gondwana), voluminous amounts of Cambrian magmatism crop out. The Venda Nova pluton (VN) is located at the southern portion of the AO, exhibiting a norite/charnockitic west-ring in contact with a syenomonzonite that envelops an alkali-gabbro core with distinct geochemical signatures. To explore the tectonic significance of this post-orogenic pluton in the AO, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) together with a microstructural analysis were performed. AMS data reveals, majorly, a concentric magnetic foliation/lineation pattern, implying that buoyancy forces controlled the magma emplacement of syenomonzonites and gabbros, while a previous pulse of a charnockitic intrusion was deformed by their intrusion. Restrict solid-state deformation (following the regional trend) inside the pluton could result of the reactivation of an emplacement structure in the last stages of VN crystallization. The emplacement of inversely zoned post-orogenic plutons through deep conduits in the colder forelands of the AO, such as the VN, might record different stages of a large collapsing orogen in a single plutonic body.

Larvicidal Activity of Essential Oils From Piper Species Against Strains of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) Resistant to Pyrethroids.

The continuous and indiscriminate use of insecticides has been responsible for the emergence of insecticide resistant vector insect populations, especially in Aedes aegypti. Thus, it is urgent to find natural insecticide compounds with novel mode of action for vector control. The goal of this study was to investigate the larvicidal activity of essential oils (EOs) from Piper species against A. aegypti characterized as resistant and susceptible strains to pyrethroids. The EOs from leaves of 10 Piper species were submitted to the evaluation of larvicidal activity in populations of A. aegypti in agreement with the (World Health Organization, 2005) guidelines. The resistance of the strains characterized by determining the lethal concentrations (LCs) with the insecticide deltamethrin (positive control). The major compounds of the EOs from Piper species was identified by GC-MS. The EOs from Piper aduncum, P. marginatum, P. gaudichaudianum, P. crassinervium, and P. arboreum showed activity of up to 90% lethality at 100 ppm (concentration for screening). The activities of the EOs from these 6 species showed similar LCs in both susceptible strain (Rockefeller) and resistant strains (Pampulha and Venda Nova) to pyrethroids. The major compounds identified in the most active EO were available commercially and included β-Asarone, (E)-Anethole, (E)-β-Caryophyllene, γ-Terpinene, p-Cymene, Limonene, α-Pinene, and β-Pinene. Dillapiole was purified by from EO of P. aduncum. The phenylpropanoids [Dillapiole, (E)-Anethole and β-Asarone] and monoterpenes (γ-Terpinene, p-Cymene, Limonene, α-Pinene, and β-Pinene) showed larvicidal activity with mortality between 90 and 100% and could account for the toxicity of these EOs, but the sesquiterpene (E)-β-Caryophyllene, an abundant component in the EOs of P. hemmendorffii and P. crassinervium, did not show activity on the three populations of A. aegypti larvae at a concentration of 100 ppm. These results indicate that Piper's EOs should be further evaluated as a potential larvicide, against strains resistant to currently used pesticides, and the identification of phenylpropanoids and monoterpenes as the active compounds open the possibility to study their mechanism of action.

Constraining the Cambrian drift of Gondwana with new paleomagnetic data from post-collisional plutons of the Araçuaí orogen, SE Brazil

Despite their importance in constraining the dynamics of Gondwana’s final phase of assembly, Cambrian paleomagnetic data from Gondwana are sparse. The Cambrian paleomagnetic dataset of Western Gondwana is especially poor, being defined by only a handful of poles. Here we contribute new Furongian paleomagnetic data from the ~500 Ma post-collisional, Santa Angelica and Venda Nova plutons from the southern portion of the Araçuaí orogen in SE Brazil. The characteristic magnetization isolated from both plutons reveals two groups of directions that are demonstrated to be antipodal. On the basis of a thermal diffusion model, we attribute these antipodal directions to primary thermoremanent magnetizations acquired by cooling of the plutons in the presence of a reversing field. Together, paleomagnetic results from 35 sites distributed between the two plutons allows computation of a new ~500 Ma paleopole: 4.7° N, 332.2° E, A95 = 4.06 and K = 68.82. This pole does not resemble any younger paleomagnetic poles either from Gondwana or the independent South American plate after the demise of Pangea, but instead closely corresponds to the Miaolingian and Furongian sector of reference apparent polar wander paths for Gondwana. It also agrees well with the limited existing individual early Paleozoic poles from Western Gondwana. Our new result may thus be regarded as a reference pole for Western Gondwana in Furongian time. Considerations of the Cambrian paleomagnetic data from Eastern and Western Gondwana suggest that while the supercontinent was amalgamated by ~500 Ma, there was likely significant motion between Eastern and Western Gondwana in earlier Cambrian time.

Sedimentation assessment and effects in Venda Nova dam reservoir (Portugal)

Sediment quantity and quality in dam reservoirs is often neglected and usually only water quality is monitored in many countries, such as in Portugal. Nevertheless, there are risks associated to sedimentation in dam reservoirs, particularly considering that many dams in the world are ageing into an overextended lifetime. The present study was conducted with the goal to understand how sedimentation monitoring in Portuguese dam reservoirs could be attained, as that information is essential to tackle any sedimentation effects that may have occurred. A dam reservoir in the north of Portugal, the Venda Nova reservoir, was selected for the study. First, historical relevant data was compiled and then new data for sediment and water quality analysis was collected. The results show that since the reservoir was filled, after the dam construction conclusion in 1951, the reservoir morphology has been affected by the sedimentation at different rates and underwent multiple transformations from 1946 (before the dam construction) to 2004 (last topobathymetric survey). An expressive morphology transformation detected in 1984 led to an intervention to remove some of the accumulated material. It was verified, as well, that the asymmetrical contamination of the sediments and water is still strongly influenced by a nearby mine even if now inactive. The methodology applied, if periodically used, will be helpful to understand the sedimentation phenomena in Portuguese and other European dam reservoirs where reservoir sedimentation has been overlooked, and can play a key role to improve river continuity and to comply with the Environmental Quality Standards under the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC).

AVALIAÇÃO DA QUALIDADE E ROTULAGEM DE PRODUTOS LÁCTEOS COMERCIALIZADOS NA CIDADE DE VENDA NOVA DO IMIGRANTE – ES ENTRE OS ANOS DE 2014 E 2015

O trabalho objetivou avaliar a qualidade físico-química, microbiológica e a rotulagem de produtos lácteos comercializados na cidade de Venda Nova do Imigrante – ES, no período de 2014 a 2015. Iogurtes e queijos produzidos por nove agroindústrias do estado foram adquiridos no comércio local, totalizando 24 produtos, sendo 13 iogurtes e 11 queijos. Para caracterização físico-química foram realizadas análises de teor de água, pH, atividade de água, acidez titulável, cinzas, proteínas, lipídeos e cloreto de sódio. Para caracterização microbiológica foram realizadas análises de contagem de microrganismos psicrotróficos, fungo filamentosos e leveduras, coliformes a 30 ºC e 45 ºC e bactérias láticas. As informações contidas nos rótulos foram avaliadas segundo a legislação brasileira vigente. Os resultados das análises físico-químicas e microbiológicas revelaram a presença de amostras (iogurte e queijo, de diferentes marcas) em desacordo com a legislação vigente para pelo menos um dos parâmetros analisados, indicando falta de padronização e possíveis falhas no controle da qualidade higiênico-sanitária dos produtos. Quanto aos requisitos estabelecidos pela legislação brasileira para rotulagem, em geral, a maioria dos itens avaliados foi atendida pelos fabricantes das amostras de iogurtes e queijos estudadas. No entanto, destaca-se a necessidade de adequação quanto às informações corretas sobre aditivos e lista de ingredientes, e o uso de caracteres legíveis para todas as informações da rotulagem. Os resultados indicam a necessidade de uma constante e efetiva fiscalização dos produtos, para que alimentos em desacordo com a legislação não cheguem ao mercado consumidor.

Contribution of zooplankton as a biological element in the assessment of reservoir water quality

espanolLas politicas europeas sobre el agua tienen como objetivo lograr un buen estado ecologico en todos los cuerpos de agua. La Directiva Marco del Agua (DMA) definio un grupo de elementos biologicos para evaluar la calidad del agua. En embalses y lagos, el fitoplancton es el unico elemento biologico utilizado para la evaluacion de la calidad del agua. Sin embargo, el zooplancton es un enlace importante en la red trofica, ya que es capaz de controlar la comunidad de fitoplancton y ya se describio como un buen bioindicador, con alta sensibilidad a diferentes estreses ambientales. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es demostrar la capacidad de las comunidades de zooplancton para ser utilizadas en la evaluacion de la calidad del agua en los embalses. Se tomaron muestras trimestrales de un grupo de varios embalses en el norte de Portugal (Paradela, Alto Cavado, Alto Rabagao y Venda Nova) durante un ano, para evaluar la calidad del agua. Los parametros fisicos y quimicos, asi como las comunidades de fitoplancton, se estudiaron de acuerdo con las metricas propuestas por la DMA para esta tipologia de cuerpos de agua. Ademas, se muestrearon las comunidades de zooplancton en cada embalse, para comprender si su dinamica estacional esta influenciada por alteraciones de la calidad del agua. Los resultados muestran que los embalses presentan un buen potencial ecologico, de acuerdo con los valores de referencia de la DMA para los parametros fisicos y quimicos, asi como para las comunidades de fitoplancton, con caidas ocasionales del potencial ecologico para una calidad moderada, debido a las variaciones en los valores de O2 disuelto y fosforo total. Los resultados observados en la dinamica de las comunidades de zooplancton muestran que este elemento biologico es sensible a alteraciones en los embalses y proporciona una imagen mas detallada del estado del ecosistema. Las comunidades de zooplancton respondieron a alteraciones en el nivel del agua en el embalse, a los cambios en el estado trofico y en la calidad del agua, tanto a nivel taxonomico como desde una perspectiva funcional. Por lo tanto, las metricas propuestas por WFD para evaluar la calidad del agua de embalses, parecen ser insuficientes para comprender todas las alteraciones que ocurren en estos ecosistemas lenticos. EnglishEuropean water policies aim to achieve a good ecological status in all water bodies. The Water Framework Directive (WFD) defined a group of biological elements to assess water quality. In reservoirs and lakes, phytoplankton is the only biological element used for water quality evaluation. However, zooplankton is an important link in the trophic web, since it is able to control the phytoplankton community and was already described as a good bioindicator, with high sensitivity to different environmental stresses. The main goal of this work is to demonstrate the ability of zooplankton communities to be used in the evaluation of water quality in reservoirs. A group of four reservoirs in the north of Portugal (Paradela, Alto Cavado, Alto Rabagao, and Venda Nova) were sampled every three months, during one year, to assess the water quality. Physical and chemical parameters, as well as phytoplankton communities, were studied according to the metrics proposed by the WFD for this typology of water bodies. Additionally, zooplankton communities were also sampled in each reservoir, to understand if their seasonal dynamics are influenced by alterations of the water quality in the reservoirs. Results show that the reservoirs present a good ecological potential, according to WFD reference values for physical and chemical parameters and phytoplankton communities, with occasional drops to moderate ecological potential due to variations in the dissolved O2 and total phosphorus values. The results observed in the dynamics of zooplankton communities show that this biological element is sensitive to changes in the reservoirs and provides a more detailed image of the state of the ecosystem. Zooplankton communities responded to alterations in the water level in the reservoir, to shifts in the trophic status and in the water quality, both at the taxonomic level and on a functional perspective. Therefore, the metrics proposed by WFD to evaluate water quality in reservoirs seem to be insufficient to understand all the alterations that occur in these aquatic ecosystems.

PHENOTYPIC VARIATION IN A GERMPLASM COLLECTION OF PEPPER (CAPSICUM SPP.) FROM ESPÍRITO SANTO / VARIAÇÃO FENOTÍPICA EM UMA COLEÇÃO DE GERMOPLASMA DE PIMENTA (CAPSICUM SPP.) DO ESPÍRITO SANTO

Peppers belong to the Capsicum genus, which has an immense variety of types, sizes, colors, flavors, and pungencies, being part of the Brazilian cultural wealth and is an important genetic resource. The aim of the present study was to perform the morpho-agronomic characterization and estimate the genetic divergence between 40 accessions of pepper collected from rural producers in eight regions of Espírito Santo: Domingos Martins, Venda Nova do Imigrante, Conceição de Castelo, Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Alegre, Guaçuí, Colatina e Santa Teresa. The work was carried out under field conditions in Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo (IFES) - Campus de Alegre the Experimental Farm. The experimental design was completely randomized, with six replications, totaling 240 experimental plots. The accessions were characterized based on twelve morpho-agronomic traits, namely: plant height, crown diameter, fruit shape, fruit length and diameter, fruit weight, pericarp thickness, number of seeds per fruit, number of locules per fruit, stem width, and leaf width and length. A great phenotypic variability was found for the twelve traits evaluated. The genetic divergence between the accessions was estimated using the Tocher clustering method, using the Mahalanobis distance, as a measure of dissimilarity, forming seven groups. It was not possible to verify a correlation between genetic diversity and the place of origin of the accessions, since in the same group genotypes collected in quite distant rural properties were arranged. Singh's method, used to estimate the relative contribution of each trait in the expression of genetic divergence, indicated that the diameter of the fruit (28.77%) and the weight of the fruit (21.33%) were the ones that most contributed to the total divergence (50.10%) between the pepper accessions. The width and length of the leaf contributed less, representing a percentage of 2.04% and 1.26%, respectively. The morpho-agronomic characterization was efficient to estimate the genetic diversity between accessions, showing significant divergence, providing the best knowledge about the accessions, demonstrating their potential for use as parents in breeding programs. All accesses were considered distinct, which allowed to disregard the hypothesis of duplicates in the germplasm collection. There was no correlation between genetic distance and the origin of accessions, which may reflect the common practice of pepper exchanges among rural producers.

Physico-chemical properties and sensory profile of Coffea canephora genotypes in high-altitudes

In Brazil, Coffea canephora coffee is generally cultivated in hot climate regions and at altitudes below 400 - 450 m. There is little information on C. canephora cultivation at higher altitudes. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine the physicochemical properties and to perform the sensorial analysis of 21 different Coffea canephora coffee genotypes, grown at 720 m altitude in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The field experiment was implemented in 2011 at the Incaper, Experimental Farm of Venda Nova using randomized block design, with four replications, eight plants per plot and spacing of 3.0 x 1.0 m. Thirteen clones of the clonal cultivar Vitória Incaper 8142 (V1 to V13) and eight clones of the clonal cultivar Robustão Capixaba Emcapa 8141 (R1, R2, R3, R6, R7, R8, R9 and R10) were studied. Grain samples were obtained from the third harvest in 2016. The harvest was performed when more than 80% of the fruits were ripe (August) and the freshly harvested coffee was processed using the conventional terrace drying method (natural processing). After the coffee was dried and processed, the four replicates were of each treatment were combined for the physicochemical analyses. The physicochemical analyses were performed (total titratable acidity, pH at 25oC and 96oC), reducing, non-reducing and total sugars were determined, chlorogenic acid (5-CQA), trigonelline and caffeine levels were determined by HPLC using the external standard method. Chlorogenic acid contents were found in the range of 2.60 to 3.65%. Caffeine levels ranged from 2.06 to 2.89%. There was no statistical difference in the final scores of the sensory analysis of the C. canephora coffees and the average value was 77.44 points, the same score for high-quality/premium coffee. Cultivation of C. canephora at high altitudes can be promising to obtain higher quality coffees from C. canephora species.

Innovation in brazilian private higher education: A proposal for the application of active methodologies based on the flipped classroom

This article aims to describe the application and adaptation of the traditional classroom model to the so-called semi-flipped classroom model. In semi-flipping, differently from the flipped classroom, students can watch the videos in the classroom as well. The research was done a private HEI. The methodology adopted was qualitative and quantitative. The quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire from google forms tool, applied to the students of the IES, in its Venda Nova unit. For the qualitative approach, participant observation was used. This study was based on an earlier research applied in the same institution, when there was an attempt to implant the flipped classroom model. The application of the semi-flipped model aimed to remedy the main obstacles presented by the implementation of the flipped classroom model. The results reveal that the semi-flipped model had adherence and retained the advantages of the flipped classroom, obtaining better results.

Desenvolvimento e validação de método analítico para determinação de clorpirifós em grãos de café e solo

O uso de agrotóxicos na agricultura visando o aumento da produtividade é ainda muito intenso no Brasil devido à eficiência dessas substâncias no controle e combate de pragas que assolam as plantações. Atualmente, há uma grande preocupação com a presença desses resíduos em alimentos e nos solos, devido ao seu uso indiscriminado. O café é um produto amplamente consumido no Brasil e seu cultivo é caracterizado por utilizar grande quantidade de agrotóxicos. Diante de tais aspectos, a proposta deste trabalho foi de avaliar amostras de grãos de café e solo da cultura cafeeira da região de Venda Nova do Imigrante/ES à fim de quantificar a presença do agrotóxico clorpirifós utilizando os métodos de extração por QuEChERS e ESL-PBT e análise por Cromatografia Gasosa acoplada a Espectrometria de Massas (CG/EM). Foram testados os métodos QuEChERS e ESL-PBT para a extração do agrotóxico clorpirifós em amostras de grãos de café e solo a uma profundidade de 5 e 15 cm. O método de análise por CG/EM foi desenvolvido e validado e utilizado para quantificar possíveis resíduos nas amostras analisadas. As análises realizadas foram feitas por meio da fortificação com 2,0 mL de uma solução trabalho na concentração de 40 ,000 mg.L-1 preparada a partir do padrão do pesticida. Entretanto, na análise das amostras em questão o método não conseguiu identificar a presença do mesmo.

Comparative study on the potential of agritourism in two Brazilian municipalities

The knowledge acquired by studying different aspects that can influence agritourism provide for adequate guidelines to carry out this rural activity, leading to greater sustainability and higher chances of success. This study was developed to identify the more important aspects that can improve or limit agritourism and, accordingly, analyse the potential and the limitations for agritourism development in two municipalities of Southeast Brazil. The municipalities are Venda Nova do Imigrante in the state of Espírito Santo, where the agritourism is successfully consolidated and Cachoeiras de Macacu in Rio de Janeiro state, where it is not very significant. This comparison was based on secondary and primary data – the latter were collected during field trips in these municipalities and by getting in touch with representatives of institutions and other local stakeholders. The results showed that the main similarities between the municipalities, which promote agritourism, are environmental, historic and cultural aspects; the presence of family farming with diversified production; and small rural industries. The main differences are the aspects related to land use, tourism management and agritourism infrastructure. An aspect that limits the activity in both municipalities is the lack of specific norms and legislation to guide and organize agritourism.

Integração da educação profissional ao ensino médio na Rede Federal: obstáculos e viabilidade da integração curricular no Ifes

Este trabalho visa problematizar o processo de integração curricular de cursos técnicos. Especificamente, avalia, por meio de duas pesquisas, a adesão, operacionalização e viabilização da integração curricular do ensino médio com a educação profissional técnica de nível médio em cursos do Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo (Ifes) nos campi de Vitória e Venda Nova do Imigrante. Orientado teórico metodologicamente pela perspectiva marxiana, conclui-se que esse tipo de curso se constitui em uma proposta contra-hegemônica tanto no nível macro – políticas nacionais de Educação Profissional Técnica e Tecnológica (EPT) – como no nível micro (no Ifes e nos campi).
