Proper Disposal

A logística reversa é uma ferramenta que auxilia as empresas na tomada de decisões, e atualmente há um cuidado e preocupação com a sustentabilidade a fim de amenizar os impactos que o descarte inadequado dos produtos causam no meio ambiente. Diante disso, o objetivo geral do presente estudo compreende analisar os motivos que levam os associados da Cooperativa Agrícola Mista a devolverem as embalagens de defensivos agrícolas para descarte apropriado. Por conseguinte, aplicou-se um instrumento de pesquisa composto de vinte e seis perguntas fechadas, aos cinquenta e quatro produtores associados da Cooperativa no período entre dezembro de 2012 e janeiro de 2013. Concluiu-se que os motivos que levam os associados a entregarem as embalagens de defensivos agrícolas após o uso em suas lavouras compreendem primeiramente a preocupação com o meio ambiente; seguido da preocupação com o acúmulo de embalagens vazias, gerando lixo; e, por fim, tem-se a questão das embalagens vazias em locais impróprios podendo gerar doenças, as possíveis intoxicações de animais, da natureza e do próprio ser humano. O acúmulo indevido de embalagens vazias nas propriedades dos agricultores contribui de maneira significativa para o impacto ambiental, ocasionando doenças e trazendo sérios riscos à preservação do meio ambiente. Reverse Logistics of Packages of Pesticides in an Agricultural Cooperative Reverse logistics is a tool for decision-taking in firms. There is currently great concern for sustainability to diminish impacts from the inadequate disposal of waste in the environment. Current analysis demonstrates the motives that associated members of the Mixed Agricultural Cooperative have in returning the empty packages of pesticides for proper disposal. A research instrument with 26 closed questions was applied to 54 producers who are associated to the cooperative. Survey occurred between December 2012 and January 2013. Results show that the motives of members to return the packages of pesticides after their use are primarily environmental ones, followed by the problem produced by the accumulation of empty packages and wastes, and the issue that empty packages in inadequate sites may cause disease, possible poisoning of animals, degradation of the environment and harm to human populations. Undue accumulation of empty packages on farms contributes significantly on the environment and may bring serious risks against the environment.

<p><strong>Resumo: </strong>Cresce a consciência que os recursos do planeta são finitos e, caso não se tomem providências para o controle da poluição e do aquecimento global, é possível que em longo prazo a vida na terra se torne inviável. Em função deste fato, surge nos meios acadêmicos um grande interesse em torno da “Logística para Reciclagem”, que pode ser definida como: O processo de planejamento, implementação e controle da eficiência e eficácia e dos custos, dos fluxos de matérias-primas, produtos em estoque, produtos acabados e informação relacionada, desde o ponto de consumo até um ponto de reprocessamento, com o objetivo de recapturar valor ou realizar a deposição adequada. O modelo proposto neste trabalho tem por objetivo destacar a importância dos processos logísticos para que as atividades de reciclagem de materiais sejam eficientes e ajudem a garantir a sustentabilidade ambiental. Foi feita uma aplicação simulada para a região de Florianópolis e municípios adjacentes.</p><p><em>Palavras-chave: </em>reciclagem; sustentabilidade ambiental; processos logísticos.</p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The conscious that the resources of our planet are finite is growing up, and life on earth might be unviable, if the right providences are not taken. Due to this fact, a big interest about “Recycling Logistics” has arisen. Recycling Logistics, as well as reverse logistics, is traditionally defined as: The process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost effective flow of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of consumption to an reprocessing point for the purpose of recapturing value or proper disposal. The model proposed in this paper was applied in the region of Florianópolis and adjacent municipalities and aims to highlight the logistics for the activities of materials recycling and their importance to environmental sustainability.</p><p><em>Keywords: </em>recycling; environmental sustainability; logistics processes.</p>

Increased solid waste generation has become a major concern for society. Among the many types of waste, the tire stands out because of its worldwide consumption and because it is a threat to the environment. With the need to reduce improper tire disposal, several solutions have been developed to reduce or reuse this material. Many countries are creating new technologies and processes that can be used to recycle tires. Governmental actions have also been manifesting in the face of the situation, with the creation of legislation for both the corporate level and society in general, together with environmental inspection agencies to control this waste. The present work consists in making an analysis about the application of the reverse logistics of the waste tires, with the objective mainly in the issues that correspond to the proper disposal or the reuse of waste tires. Also present possible tire reuse alternatives, processes that can be applied to these wastes and show how harmful they are to the environment.

Technological innovations facilitate the activities of the society in general, however, are responsible for obsolescence of equipment electronics computing, and generate the problem of how to properly allocate these obsolete equipment that makes up the junk. Reverse logistics emerges as a solution for responsible and proper disposal of such equipment. This work aims to analyze the activity of reverse logistics of IT equipment in public organizations in São Gabriel - RS. Interviews were conducted with those responsible for managing these electronic public organizations in the city. Public organizations surveyed employ a significant number of these devices. It was noted that the reverse logistics though little known in the city, motivated a great interest of respondents in the problem that were exposed. However, the lack of incentives and disclosure are considered the main obstacles to adoption of this practice.

Abstract Tomasello argues in the target article that, in generalizing the concrete obligations originating from interdependent collaboration to one's entire cultural group, humans become “ultra-cooperators.” But are all human populations cooperative in similar ways? Based on cross-cultural studies and my own fieldwork in Polynesia, I argue that cooperation varies along several dimensions, and that the underlying sense of obligation is culturally modulated.

Nonsuicidal Self Injury

Background: Historically, the field of self-injury has distinguished between the behaviors exhibited among individuals with a developmental disability (self-injurious behaviors; SIB) and those present within a normative population (nonsuicidal self-injury; NSSI),which typically result as a response to perceived stress. More recently, however, conclusions about NSSI have been drawn from lines of animal research aimed at examining the neurobiological mechanisms of SIB. Despite some functional similarity between SIB and NSSI, no empirical investigation has provided precedent for the application of SIB-targeted animal research as justification for pharmacological interventions in populations demonstrating NSSI. Aims: The present study examined this question directly, by simulating an animal model of SIB in rodents injected with pemoline and systematically manipulating stress conditions in order to monitor rates of self-injury. Methods: Sham controls and experimental animals injected with pemoline (200 mg/kg) were assigned to either a low stress (discriminated positive reinforcement) or high stress (discriminated avoidance) group and compared on the dependent measures of self-inflicted injury prevalence and severity. Results: The manipulation of stress conditions did not impact the rate of self-injury demonstrated by the rats. The results do not support a model of stress-induced SIB in rodents. Conclusions: Current findings provide evidence for caution in the development of pharmacotherapies of NSSI in human populations based on CNS stimulant models. Theoretical implications are discussed with respect to antecedent factors such as preinjury arousal level and environmental stress.
