The 21st century brings countless social, economic, environmental, and technological challenges to humanity and, to face them, the United Nations (UN) created the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The auto industry, which is part of the private sector, aims to reach them. In this context, this study aims to evaluate the consumption and emissions of pollutants by using an automatic transmission of the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) type concerning the automatic transmission of the "Planetary" type. This study will be based on the Consumption/Energy Efficiency tables, published annually by INMETRO (National Institute of Metrology, Quality, and Technology) and whose data will be processed and evaluated using the Quik Sense Software. Thus, the work aims to appraise the advantages of vehicles with automatic transmission of the CVT type about fuel consumption, energy efficiency and emissions, in markets such as Brazil, where these vehicles use ethanol or a mixture of gasoline with up to 27 as fuel % Ethanol. This research can contribute to studies of emission control and approval, benefiting the automotive industry in general, government agencies, the environment, the economy, and society, contributing to the UN's SDGs achievement.

This article discusses the false antagonism between sustainable development and corporate performance amalgamated with the search for innovation, intensive use of technologies, and global awareness, during the COVID-19 pandemic scenario and the transformations imposed on society, together with the effects of the necessary insertion of new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence. The study highlights the interaction between elements of a technological revolution that imposes profound changes in society, organizations, and, at the same time, unprecedented health and environmental crisis that put at risk the capacity of human resilience to build the future, and opportunities to reconcile socio-economic advances and sustainability practices.

Smart sensors, self-configuration, operational flexibility, and automatic learning, among others, are technological attributes from industry 4.0 appliable to the essential oil extraction by the steam distillation process. These operations are recognized by their simplicity. Nevertheless, lack of automatic controls, process monitoring, and self-adjustment lead to uncontrolled extraction, poor yields, low quality of products. It occurs because of overexposure to high temperatures and overspending resources like energy and water. As far as capacity utilization is concerned, the optimized process is key to planning and managing the production activities.

Due to the need to discover methods that can measure the toxicity level of fresh and marine water quality, this study aimed to present a systematic review of the literature, indicating the culture conditions and toxicological tests used for different Daphnia species in the evaluation of water quality. Thus, the applied methodology was a systematic review that identified studies that addressed the application of Daphnia in the assessment of water quality. The results obtained from this research consisted of a compilation of articles, which presented the parameters most analyzed in Daphnia species, such as mobility and mortality, which can change when exposed to different chemical substances.

Biosurfactants are active compounds capable of reducing surface tensions produced by microorganisms, having low toxicity and high biodegradability with possible production from renewable sources. This work aims at presenting a patents search on the biosurfactants production through fermentation, using waste as substrate. The methodology consisted of searching keywords and their blending, using the database of Derwent innovation. The search returned 15 patent registrations filed in the last 8 years. Of the 15, 10 orders are active. After analysis, 3 of the 10 selected patents showed strong adherence to the subject, describing the use of waste as substrates to produce more economical biosurfactants.

Microorganisms provoke neglected diseases. However, social factors intensified those affected by them. Macroalgae are photosynthetic beings that live in oceans. They are divided into three categories: green, red, and brown algae. These groups are known for having metabolites with various applications in biotechnology and natural products chemistry. The present work aimed to discuss, through bibliographic review, the applications of substances extracted from macroalgae to the treatment of forgotten diseases in Brazil. This research concludes that literature has studies focused on the presence and absence of these compounds, namely its qualitative aspects, in which pharmacological, pharmacodynamic, and reaction mechanisms fields of these bioactive constituents are described.

Agribusiness is a major generator of waste, which generates significant environmental impacts. However, these residues can have several applications, thus having added value. Among all fruits, the banana has the highest rate of consumption in Brazil, consequently producing large amounts of peel. This work aims to get and characterize the banana peel flour for further application in biofilm production. We performed the physicalchemical characterization of the banana peel and the flour by crushing and drying in an oven (60 °C/24 h). Subsequently, we wash and delignification the pulp for its extraction. The results obtained 43% of total fiber in the flour and, at the end of the delignification process, 1.45 g of cellulose. Therefore, the banana peel presents itself as a potential matrix for application in the production of biofilm.

This work aimed to evaluate the growth and cost cultivation of Chlorella sp microalgae in PA and commercial urea medium solutions compared to BBM standard medium. We cultivated the microalgae Chlorella sp in BBM, PA urea, and commercial urea media, evaluating their growth for 8 days. In addition, we appraised the cost of the culture media considering the quotation of the reagents and the mass used for pilot-scale cultivation (100l). It was possible to observe the similar growth of microalgae with urea PA and BBM. The use of urea PA as a culture media for microalgae has the potential to reduce the cost of the medium by 68%. Thus, the cultivation of Chlorella in urea medium represents an alternative to reduce the production costs of biomass from this microorganism.

The search for tissue regeneration has attracted a lot of attention due to its wide applicability, and great potential to solve several problems in advanced therapies. Currently, functional systems have been widely used as therapeutic solutions in the treatment of some skin diseases, whether chronic, acquired, or as a consequence of accidents and burns. It is possible due to the feasibility of releasing and/or acting in loco of some active substances with properties and characteristics very similar to human skin. In this sense, this work aimed to carry out a literature review research regarding the development of new biomaterials, including hydrated membranes composed of biopolymers such as keratin and bacterial cellulose.
