This study investigated the demographic, socioeconomic, and municipal health indicators related to the quality of water fluoridation. An ecological study was carried out in Espirito Santo state (ES), based on data from the Drinking Water Quality Surveillance Information, from 2014 to 2017. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney and Spearman tests were applied to compare municipal indicators with the availability of information and the quality of fluoridation, respectively. Fluoridation quality was calculated to define the percentage of fluoride concentration values in each municipality within the range of the optimal level corresponding to the maximum benefit for preventing dental caries and minimum risk for the occurrence of dental fluorosis. The proportion of 80% or more samples were defined as a compliance criterion. In 2014, 62.8% of the municipalities had information available, and 16.7% performed analyses of fluoride concentration. The percentage of available data increased about 30%, in 2017, with 3.8% referring to fluoride. The quality of fluoridation remained high (> 80%) in ES in almost every year, except in 2014. The municipalities with the largest population, the highest GDP per capita, and the lowest coverage of the oral health team exhibited a greater availability of information about fluoride (p <0.05). The child mortality rate showed a strong negative correlation with the quality of fluoridation. The findings reinforce the importance of directing public policies that ensure the correct practices for monitoring and maintaining the quality of fluoridation.

A escassez de informações referentes ao consumo hídrico de mudas de espécies florestais freqüentemente dificulta o planejamento da irrigação em viveiros comerciais, levando muitas vezes, a adoção de medidas ineficientes de manejo, provocando perda no padrão de qualidade das mudas. Dessa forma, procurou-se neste trabalho investigar a máxima capacidade de retenção de água (MCRA) no substrato em que as mudas de eucalipto podem ser submetidas e determinar o coeficiente de cultivo (Kc) para o clone híbrido de E. urophylla x E. grandis. O estudo foi realizado em casa de vegetação, localizada na área experimental do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Florestais vinculado ao Centro de Ciências Agrárias da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (CCA-UFES) no município de Alegre, ES, montado num delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com cinco tratamentos de disponibilidade hídrica no substrato (90, 80, 70, 60 e 50% da MCRA), com quatro repetições. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, verificou-se que a disponibilidade hídrica no substrato de 70% da MCRA pode ser utilizada para a produção de mudas clonais de eucalipto, sem afetar o crescimento e o padrão de qualidade. O Kc estimado para as mudas de eucalipto em condições de viveiro foi de 1,25. AbstractDetermination of maximum capacity of water retention in substrate for production plants in Eucalyptus nursery. The scarcity of information regarding water consumption of seedlings of forest species often complicates the planning of irrigation in commercial nurseries, often leading the adoption of inefficient management measures, causing loss in the quality of seedlings. Thus, this study sought to investigate the capacity of water retention in the substrate in which the eucalyptus seedlings can be submitted and determine the crop coefficient (Kc) for the hybrid clone of E. urophylla x E . grandis. The study was conducted in a greenhouse located in the experimental area of the Post-Graduation of Forest Sciences bound to the Center for Agrarian Sciences, Federal University of Espírito Santo in the city of Alegre, ES, built in a completely randomized design with five treatments of water availability in the substrate (90, 80, 70, 60 and 50% of MCRA) and four replications. According to the results, it was found that water availability in the substrate MCRA of the 70% can be used for the production of minicutting, without affecting standards of growth and quality. The Kc for eucalyptus seedlings in nursery conditions was 1.25.Keywords: Coefficient of cultivation; irrigation management; Eucalyptus urophylla x E. grandis.

[email protected]   RESUMO: O aproveitamento de resíduos para produção de mudas pode ser uma solução acessível em áreas produtoras de mamão, como alternativa ao uso de substratos comerciais. Assim, este estudo avaliou o efeito do lodo de curtume na produção de mudas de mamão cv. Golden THB. Foram testadas as proporções 0, 15, 30, 45 e 60% de lodo de curtume em mistura com substrato comercial, avaliando as características de emergência, biométricas, gravimétricas e de qualidade de mudas. Os resultados foram submetidos ao teste F e Dunnett (p< 0,05). Os substratos com lodo tiveram desempenho similar ao comercial em todas as características de emergência, mas inferiores para altura da muda, área foliar, matéria fresca e seca da parte aérea e raiz e IQD. Para o número de folhas e diâmetro do caule, apenas a proporção de 15% foi semelhante ao substrato comercial. A análise de regressão apontou que o aumento das proporções de lodo de curtume reduziu gradualmente as médias das variáveis analisadas, exceto para percentagem de emergência. Isso pode estar relacionado a salinidade do lodo, além de desequilíbrios nutricionais. Portanto, a mistura de lodo de curtume ao substrato comercial limitou o desenvolvimento e a qualidade das mudas de mamoeiro cv. Golden THB.   Palavras-chaves: propagação, resíduo alternativo, sustentabilidade, redução de custos, Carica papaya.   TANNERY SLUDGE IN COMMERCIAL SUBSTRATE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PAPAYA SEEDLINGS CV. GOLDEN THB   ABSTRACT: The use of residues for the production of papaya seedlings can mention an accessible solution to the producing areas. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the influence of portions of 0 to 60% of tannery sludge in a mixture with a commercial substrate, traditionally used in papaya propagation, to evaluate the emergence, biometric, gravimetric and quality characteristics of papaya seedlings. cv. Golden THB. The emergence characteristics had a similar performance between the proposed and commercial substrates. Overall, there were significant differences between treatments with more than 15% tannery sludge and the commercial substrate. Except for the percentage of emergence, significant results were found for regression, with the answer being the indication that gradually with the increase in the portion of the tannery sludge to the commercial substrate, there was a reduction in the characteristics analyzed. Possibly, the effects of high salinity provided this response pattern, in addition to the nutritional imbalance as a result. Despite the good results of the emergence characteristics, in general, the mixture of tannery sludge to the commercial substrate limited the development and quality of papaya seedlings cv. Golden THB, for use only in proportions up to 15% of sludge.   Keywords: propagation, alternative waste, sustainability, cost reduction, Carica papaya.

Rural communities usually are poorly covered by basic services, including water supply services (WSSs). Within this context, community management of water is a promising alternative to address this issue, with many successes all over the world. This approach also contributes to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, which intends to universalize water access. This paper evaluates the WSSs provided by eleven rural community organizations from Espírito Santo, Brazil. All of those participate in the sanitation program “Pró-Rural” created by Cesan (Companhia Espiritosantense de Saneamento), the state water concessionaire, to reach small-sized rural settlements. For this purpose, Siasar was used, an informational tool that enables the identification of elements in the rural water supply systems (RWSSs) that can enhance or hinder their performance. The results verified that the communities were able to maintain a satisfactory level of quality of the WSSs, although there were perceptible fragilities regarding the distance between internal (communities and service providers) and external (technical assistance providers) actors that can decrease the quality of the WSS or even lead to its interruption if not addressed.

RESUMOO objetivo principal desse diagnóstico é avaliar a qualidade dos serviços prestados, no que tange a expectativa e a percepção dos usuários, em relação aos serviços ofertados pelo Museu de História Natural do Sul do Espírito Santo (Muses). Para tanto, esta investigação se ancora numa metodologia de cunho descritivo, com base em um corte transversal quantitativo. Propõe uma readaptação da abordagem teórico-metodológica Servqual (1985), para examinar a Matriz Importância e Desempenho em relação às cinco dimensões da qualidade: Confiabilidade, Empatia, Garantia, Receptividade e Tangibilidade. Os resultados obtidos apontam que a comunidade usuária do Muses atribuem maior importância a dimensão Receptividade no que se refere à prestação de um serviço museológico. As conclusões do estudo sinalizam a existência de uma relação entre a qualidade percebida e satisfação. Salienta-se, ainda, que, a abordagem Servqual é vantajosa para a gestão e a tomada de decisão, mostrando que a demanda é parcialmente dependente da expectativa, que, por sua vez, está sujeita a provisão institucional em satisfazê-la. Adicionalmente, reconhece que os espaços não formais de educação são lócus privilegiados para edificar multipráticas socioambientais,   isto é, prima o saber de biodiversidade, conservação ambiental e  alfabetização ecológica para além de suas paredes.Palavras-chave: Qualidade de Serviços. Patrimônio Cultural. Educação ambiental. Espaços Não Formais de Educação. ABSTRACT The main objective of this diagnosis is to evaluate the quality of the services provided, regarding the expectations and the perception of the users, in relation to the services offered by the Museum of Natural History of the South of Espírito Santo (Muses). To do so, this research is anchored in a descriptive methodology, based on a quantitative cross-section. It proposes a readaptation of the theoretical-methodological approach Servqual (1985), to examine the Matrix Importance and Performance in relation to the five dimensions of quality: Reliability, Empathy, Assurance, Responsiveness and Tangibles. The results obtained indicate that the Muses user community attaches greater importance to the Receptivity dimension when it comes to providing a museum service. The conclusions of the study indicate the existence of a relationship between perceived quality and satisfaction. It should also be noted that the Servqual approach is advantageous for management and decision-making, showing that demand is partially dependent on expectation, which in turn is subject to institutional provision in satisfying it. In addition, it recognizes that non-formal education spaces are privileged locus for building socio-environmental multipractices, that is, it emphasizes the knowledge of biodiversity, environmental conservation and ecological literacy beyond its walls. Keywords: Quality of Services. Cultural heritage. Environmental education. Non-formal education spaces.

Brazil is the third largest producer and the main exporter of chicken meat in the world. In 2019, it produced approximately 13.245 million tons of the product, generating more than six million dollars. According to the Poultry Association of the state of Espírito Santo, broiler production is carried out by 28 independent producers/companies, three integrator businesses, 42 integrated producers and seven slaughterhouses (structures with SIF, SIE/SISBI or SIE certification). Despite the growth of this sector, problems persist regarding the quality of carcasses and the number of condemnations. From the sanitary and industrial point of view, all products of animal origin must undergo prior inspection. The present study was developed using data generated by the Federal Inspection Service (Serviço de Inspeção Federal, SIF) and the State Inspection Service (Serviço de Inspeção Estadual, SIE). The main causes of condemnation of birds as inspected by SIF represented 9.26% of the slaughtered birds. Total condemnations corresponded to 1.35%. Overall, this study recorded a greater number of condemnations of non-pathological origin. In conclusion, there was consistency in the reasons why these products were condemned. Bruises/fractures and contamination were the most frequent causes according to both inspection services (SIF and SIE), indicating a common problem on the slaughter and inspection lines.
