Purpose: Development of an application for determining the technical and economic feasibility of implementing and operating domestic biodigesters using rigorous mathematical modeling of the anaerobic digestion process in conjunction with Machine Learning techniques to obtain reduced metamodels. Theoretical Framework: The generation of biodegradable waste results from human activities and has detrimental environmental impacts. To mitigate this problem, anaerobic digestion in biodigesters emerges as a viable solution, promoting the production of biogas and biofertilizers, generating economic and environmental benefits. However, implementing and operating this system requires significant investments. Method/Design/Approach: The combination of the ADM1 model with Machine Learning techniques is used to create simplified metamodels, allowing for more feasible simulations and optimizations, thereby developing an application to assess the technical and economic feasibility of biodigesters. This application is obtained by packaging the reduced metamodel using the MATLAB Compiler, which will be made available as an Excel add-in. Results and Conclusion: The reduced metamodel effectively represented the rigorous Simulink model, and the optimization of the process proved satisfactory. Furthermore, the add-in generated through the MATLAB Compiler met expectations. Research Implications: Enhanced understanding of the waste biodigestion process, demonstrating the economic and environmental returns achieved when focusing more on this area. Originality/Value: Development of a tool that enables the simulation and evaluation of a biodigestion process without the need to purchase expensive software.

Purpose: The National Water Resources Policy established foundations and instruments for the management of water resources in Brazil. Despite being considered one of the most advanced internationally, its effectiveness is questioned for water management in rural contexts where small users predominate. The article presents elements of water management conducted by rural landowners, seeking to analyze how these elements approach or distance themselves from the foundations and instruments of the National Water Resources Policy. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were carried out with 151 rural landowners who use water resources in the context of the supply sources of the Cantareira Water Production System. The results indicate that the water sources accessed by users are the central reference that supports decisions on local water management, which distances itself from the watershed as a management unit, as proposed by law. Not based on a scientific conception, users mobilize specific indicators to determine the quality of the water consumed. Perceptions of the private domain and common good surrounding water sources do not fully align with the understanding of water as a public good. Furthermore, the notion of free access to and use of water also distances itself from any intention to charge for water in rural areas. It is concluded that the foundations and instruments of the National Water Resources Policy are not able to promote the management of water resources at the level of small sources and users, and that the perceptions and management practices of these users are far from what is established by law. The objective of the article is to present elements of water management conducted by rural landowners, seeking to analyze how these elements approach or distance themselves from the foundations and instruments of the National Water Resources Policy. Method/design/approach: The research is of a qualitative nature, of a descriptive nature, having been carried out empirical research.

Objective: One of the main environmental problems of today's society concerns the final disposal of urban solid waste (MSW), and increasing the generation rates of this waste has become a high priority concern for both environmental preservation and human health. Inadequate final disposal leads to serious environmental impacts, including the risks of contamination of soil, subsoil, surface water and groundwater, even after decommissioning of inappropriate sites. The purpose of this research was to assess the level of degradation in the area around the Controlled Landfill of New Venetia. To do so, documentary, oral and bibliographical research was carried out on the area, technical visits, drawing up maps, applying the Quality Index of Waste Landfills (IQR) with adaptations directed to the reality of the landfill and finally, bacteriological analyzes of surface and underground water were carried out in the surroundings of the area. The application of the IQR resulted in a score of 5.15 and the non-existent or deficient aspects that caused this score were: soil waterproofing, plant protection, drainage and treatment of slurry, drainage of rainwater and gases, geotechnical and groundwater monitoring, presence of flies, birds and animals, occurrence of odors and proximity of bodies of water. The results of the bacteriological analyzes indicated a potential for microbiological contamination in the surface water resource downstream of the landfill, which may be linked to extensive livestock rearing, but may also indicate that the slurry contamination plume is influencing the water quality of the analyzed stream. Evaluate the level of degradation in the area around the Controlled New Veneto Landfill. Theoretical benchmark: The inadequate final layout of MSW results in severe environmental impacts, including the risks of contamination of soil, subsoil, surface water and groundwater, even after decommissioning of inappropriate sites. Furthermore, this inadequate destination generates visual pollution, property devaluation in the environs, the presence of precariously organized waste pickers, and promotes the favoring of disease vectors. Method: The methodology encompassed bibliographical review of the area in question, as well as of the concepts associated with the themes necessary for the research; obtaining data and making maps; characterization of the area; determination of the Quality Index of Waste Landfills (IQR) and bacteriological analysis of ground and surface water. Results and conclusion: The application of the IQR, by means of historical and current characterization and evaluation of the controlled landfill of New Venetia, resulted in a score of 5.15 classifying this in inappropriate conditions. The results of the bacteriological analyzes indicated a potential for microbiological contamination in the surface water resource downstream of the landfill, which may be linked to extensive livestock rearing, but may also indicate that the slurry cont

Objective: To analyze the trends of academic productions on the fallacies enunciated in the sustainable discourse. Method: The procedures of an systematic review were used, with the help of Rayyan® software in the selection and organization of articles, then, through a qualitative analysis, the themes were separated into approaches and the fallacies mentioned were verified. Results and conclusion: Four types of fallacious approaches were identified in the context of business debate, namely: the quality of information; the identification of fallacies; fallacious behavior and impression management. This last approach being the fallacious theme most associated with corporate sustainability. Research implications: The research aims to contribute to the improvement of preparers in disclosures, emphasizing the importance of consistent disclosure. In addition to allowing the user of the information to become aware of possible fallacious methods, the accuracy of the stakeholders in the analysis can be increased and, finally, emphasize the socio-environmental responsibility of companies before society. Originality/value: Addressing this topic has become relevant given the non-standard scenario regarding corporate sustainable disclosures, in addition to the recent proposal under consideration for an international standard on these aspects.

Purpose: Evaluate how land use and local conditions affects extracellular enzyme activity of actinobacterial strains isolated from soils in the Brazilian Semi-arid Northeast region.
Theoretical framework: The study is framed within soil microbial ecology and environmental microbiology, examining how environmental factors shape the diversity and function of soil bacteria.
Method: Soil samples were collected along transects from 3 conservation units into surrounding areas with different land uses. Actinobacteria were isolated and identified morphologically. Extracellular enzyme activities were measured and compared between land uses and locations.
Results: The study found considerable actinobacterial diversity, with Streptomyces as the most abundant genus. Amylase, cellulase and xylanase activities varied between locations and land uses. Multivariate analysis revealed heterogeneity in the functional diversity of actinobacterial communities related to land use.
Conclusions: Both land use and minor local distinctions can strongly influence the metabolic potential and ecosystem functions of actinobacterial populations in semi-arid environments.
Originality/value: Provides new insights into actinobacterial ecology in Brazilian semi-arid soils, showing land use and local conditions strongly influence bacterial community distribution.

Objective: This article aims to analyze energy efficiency in the pulp and paper sector using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Theoretical framework: The concern for sustainability has been a topic of discussion across the planet. Compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) stipulated by the 2030 Agenda has been a goal for organizations. In this sense, the pulp and paper industries stand out, as they stand out for their considerable participation in the impact on the environment. Methodology: As a methodology, bibliometric research was used to determine the number of publications, citations, authors and countries involved in energy efficiency research. Results and conclusion: The results showed that China leads the field with the highest number of publications and citations, followed by the United States. In addition, the authors with the most significant impact factor are of Chinese origin, with the Journal of Cleaner Production being the main source of publication of these critical studies. Research implications: These findings demonstrate the growing interest in energy efficiency research, highlighting the need to meet the planet's energy needs as quickly as possible. Originality/value: The results of this bibliometric analysis provided valuable insight into the current state of research and publications related to Energy Efficiency measured with DEA in the pulp and paper industries worldwide. Further exploratory analyzes and content analyzes are suggested to identify areas of research that have been neglected and provide new insights for future research.

Theoretical framework: Astereae is the second largest tribe of Asteraceae, with 170 genera with a worldwide distribution. The Alliance Heliantheae clade consists of about 160 genera from various tribes, including Eupatorieae and Heliantheae. Both taxa, especially Alliance Heliantheae, have taxonomic problems, and the structure of the fruits can reveal useful characters in their taxonomy.
Objective: The fruits of Baccharis uncinella DC., Inulopsis scaposa (DC.) O. Hoffm. (Tribe Astereae), Campovassouria cruciata (Vell.) R. M. King & H. Rob. (Tribe Eupatorieae) and Ichthyothere mollis Baker (Tribe Heliantheae) were ontogenically analyzed and compared with results obtained in studies of species from these three tribes.
Method: Flowers and fruits at different stages of development were collected in Vila Velha State Park, Paraná, Brazil. The botanical material was investigated according to usual techniques in plant anatomy.
Results: The fruits of the two species of Astereae are structurally very similar, being devoid of mesocarp and phytomelanin, unlike the species of Eupatorieae and Heliantheae, which have parenchymatic and sclerenchymatic mesocarp and phytomelanin.
Conclusion: Characters that may be relevant in the taxonomy of both groups of Asteraceae are the absence or presence of mesocarp; presence or absence of phytomelanin, laminar or filamentous pappus, and occurrence/type of twin hairs.
