Environmental sensitivity is present in several countries, and in Germany and the Netherlands, this perception on the part of agents (companies and individuals) is quite high. In this context, retailers have begun to take on new tasks, such as the commitment to reduce the waste they generate and to recycle and reuse what is generated with the purpose of increasing their responsibility to the final consumer. Therefore, the aim of this work was to analyze the reverse logistics implemented in 22 grocery stores located in São Paulo (Brazil) and to quantify the profit obtained with this implementation. For this, for 24 months, the quantities of cardboard and plastic discarded by these grocery stores were monitored. As a result, it was possible to observe that the supermarket corporation increased its net profit with the practice of reverse logistics in a value proportional to the net profit generated by two supermarkets with a revenue of 600 thousand dollars.ResumenLa sensibilidad ambiental está presente en varios países, y en Alemania y los Países Bajos, esta percepción por parte de los agentes (empresas e individuos) es bastante alta.

Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la logística inversa implementada en 22 supermercados ubicados en São Paulo (Brasil) y cuantificar los beneficios obtenidos con esta implementación. Para esto, durante 24 meses, se monitorearon las cantidades de cartón y plástico desechadas por estas tiendas de comestibles. Como resultado, se pudo observar que la corporación de supermercados aumentó sus ganancias netas con la práctica de logística inversa en un valor proporcional al beneficio neto generado por dos supermercados con un ingreso de 600 mil dólares.ResumoA sensibilidade ambiental está presente em vários países e, na Alemanha e na Holanda, essa percepção por parte dos agentes (empresas e indivíduos) é bastante alta.

We analyze the impact of different accessibility measures on the interpretation of associated equity analysis using the Gini coefficient and the (pseudo) Palma ratio, and the impact of the method of assigning zonal accessibility on Gini estimation results using four different alternatives. Two types of potential accessibility measures (zonal and person-based) and two ratios of potential jobs to potential population (intra-modal and multi-modal) are estimated for car and transit in the Netherlands' Randstad region, Greater London, and São Paulo relying on network data, schedule-based data, and speed profiles. Gini results are heavily influenced by the accessibility indicator and the method of assignment. The Palma ratio is also influenced by the choice of accessibility indicator, with the person-based potential accessibility measure tending to show greater inequity.

Remains of a new titanosaur, Aeolosaurus maximus sp. nov., from the Adamantina Formation (Upper Cretaceous), Bauru Group, São Paulo State of Brazil are described. The new species is represented by a single partially articulated skeleton and is characterized by having a well-developed posterior protuberance below the articular area on the anterior and middle haemal arches and a lateral bulge on the distal portion of the articular process of the mid-posterior haemal arches. It shares with other Aeolosaurus species the presence of prezygapophyses curved downward on anterior caudal vertebrae and haemal arches with double articular facets set in a concave posterodorsal surface. These two characteristics are interpreted here as synapomorphies for the genus Aeolosaurus. The new diagnosis for the genus Aeolosaurus does not support the inclusion of Gondwanatitan within Aeolosaurus as previously proposed by some authors. The phylogenetic analysis recovered the two Aeolosaurus from Argentina as sister groups with A. maximus and Gondwanatitan as progressively more basal taxa (Gondwanatitan (A. maximus (A. rionegrinus, A. colhuehuapensis))). Additionally, according to the results of the phylogenetic analysis performed in this work, the taxa Panamericansaurus, Rinconsaurus, and Maxakalisaurus are also nested within Aeolosaurini, being more basal than Aeolosaurus and Gondwanatitan. On the basis of the stratigraph-ical range of the Aeolosaurus occurrences in Argentina and the age proposals based on microfossils for the Bauru Group, it is assumed a Campanian–Maastrichtian age for the top of the Adamantina Formation for the Monte Alto region in São Paulo State and the bottom of the Marília Formation in Peirópolis, Minas Gerais State—the places where Aeolosaurus remains have been reported in Brazil.

In the present paper the main aspects of the natural history of human infection by Toxocara larvae that occasionally result in the occurrence of visceral and/or ocular larva migrans syndrome were reviewed. The contribution by Brazilian researchers was emphasized, especially the staff of the Tropical Medicine Institute of São Paulo (IMT).

The aim of this study was to analyse morphological and molecular (ITS region) characteristics for eight species of mites in the family Macrochelidae that are present in cattle manure in Brazil. Six of these species were already known in Brazil and, for five of these, both tools (morphology and phylogeny) were concordant regarding all the trees used. The species G. saprophila and M. scutatus were reported in the present study for the first time in Brazil. The data obtained in this study suggest that the molecular analysis corroborated the morphological identification in most species of macrochelids. The results also demonstrate the need to correlate identifications through dichotomous keys, by using phylogenetic studies to better distinguish cryptic species.

A new genus and species of sabellid polychaete from an organically enriched beach in São Sebastião, State of São Paulo, is described. Kirkia heterobranchiata is unique among sabellids for brooding the embryos on the dorsalmost pair of radioles, which exhibits several modifications for this purpose, rather than on ventral radioles. Morphologically, K. heterobranchiata is most closely related to Perkinsiana riwo, here referred to as the new genus, as suggested by phylogenetic analysis. The new genus is characterized by the shape of the lips (dorsal lips roughly triangular, broader than long; ventral lips lower, ventrally fused and distally rounded), by the absence of both radiolar and pinnular appendages, by having uncini with very short handles in both the thorax and abdomen, and by the ability to brood embryos in cocoons attached to the branchial crown.
