Improving the Lipid Profile of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae for Marine Aquafeeds: Current State of Knowledge
No full text14 pages, 5 figures, 1 table.-- This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution LicenseThe replacement of fish meal and fish oil by insect-based ingredients in the formulation of marine aquafeeds can be an important step towards sustainability. To pursue this goal, the modulation of the lipid profile of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) has received great attention. While its nutritional profile can shift with diet, the ability to modulate its lipidome is yet to be understood. The present work provides an overview of the lipid modulation of H. illucens larvae through its diet, aiming to produce a more suitable ingredient for marine aquafeeds. Marine-based substrates significantly improve the lipid profile of H. illucens larvae, namely its omega-3 fatty acids profile. An improvement of approximately 40% can be achieved using fish discards. Substantial levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), two essential fatty acids for marine fish and shrimp species, were recorded in H. illucens larvae fed on fish discards and coffee silverskin with Schyzochytrium sp. Unfortunately, these improvements are still deeply connected to marine-based bioresources, some still being too costly for use at an industrial scale (e.g., microalgae). New approaches using solutions from the biotechnology toolbox will be decisive to make H. illucens larvae a feasible alternative ingredient for marine aquafeeds without having to rely on marine bioresourcesThanks are due to FCT/MCTES for the financial support to CESAM (UIDP/50017/2020+UIDB/50017/2020+LA/P/0094/2020), through national funds and to the project SUShI (CENTRO-01-0145-FEDER-030818) co-funded by Centro 2020 program, Portugal 2020, through the European Regional Development Fund, through FCT/MCTESand Xunta de Galicia (Grupos de Potencial Crecimiento, IN607B 2018/19).

Reclamações ambientais em Aveiro, Portugal: atores, preocupações, padrão territorial e resoluções
No full textThis paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental
issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between
2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning
and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces
the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental
grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by
local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental
quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of
the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case
study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth
section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal
evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems
and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This
information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental
quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance
in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n. E05M053040B

Bioconversion and performance of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) in the recovery of nutrients from expired fish feeds
No full text11 pages, 4 figures, 3 tablesIn modern aquaculture systems, feed is the main source of the waste being produced, including expired aquafeeds. There is a link between the expiration date of aquafeeds enriched with fish oil for marine fish and the observation of several physical and microbiological changes. Among these, lipid oxidation is worth highlighting, as this process is responsible for the loss of palatability of aquafeeds, which can lead to feeding rejection by the species being farmed. In this study, we used an expired fish aquafeed, which otherwise would be discarded as waste, as a substrate to feed Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae. Different replacement levels of expired aquafeed were used which unravelled the amount of n-3 fatty acids added to larval tissues of BSF larvae after 2, 7, and 10 days of feeding. Our results also showed that shorter trials and higher diet replacement levels induced a deleterious effect on final larval weight. Furthermore, amino acid and fatty acid larval contents were shaped by the supplied diet, with results supporting the inclusion of BSF meal in aquafeeds, due to the levels of lysine (5.6–8.9%), methionine (1.9–3.2%), and omega-3 fatty acids (14.5%) recorded. These results demonstrate that the re-introduction of an expired resource aiming to diversify the source of aquafeeds raw materials can be safely achieved through BSF biotransformation. Overall, BSF larvae can successfully recover important nutrients for aquafeeds targeting marine species and foster the production of value-added insects under a circular bioeconomy frameworkThis research was funded by: project SUShI (CENTRO-01-0145-FEDER-030818) co-funded by Centro 2020 program, Portugal 2020, through the European Regional Development Fund, through the National Science Foundation (FCT/MCTES); by CESAM through FCT/MCTES (UIDP/50017/2020 + UIDB/50017/2020 + LA/P/0094/2020), by national funds; by LAQV/REQUIMTE (UIDB/50006/2020) and to RNEM, Portuguese Mass Spectrometry Network (LISBOA-01-0145-FEDER-402-022125) through national funds and, where applicable, co-financed by the FEDER, within the PT2020; and by Xunta de Galicia (Grupos de Potencial Crecimiento, IN607B 2018/19).

"Cuidado com a ponteira": memórias de castigos no Grupo Escolar Nossa Senhora do Sagrado Coração (Angelina/SC, 1940-1975)
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Florianópolis, 2014Esta investigação identificou castigos escolares e processos de disciplinamento colocados em ação no Grupo Escolar Nossa Senhora do Sagrado Coração, atual Escola de Educação Básica Nossa Senhora (EEB), no município de Angelina (SC) e problematizou acerca desses castigos e processos. O recorte temporal situa-se entre os anos de 1940 e 1975. No que se refere aos aportes teóricos e metodológicos, consistiu em análise de fontes escritas: atas de reuniões pedagógicas, livro de medidas disciplinares, regulamentos e Decretos. Além desse material de apoio, foram produzidas fontes orais, por meio de entrevistas com ex-alunos. As memórias de ex-alunos são compreendidas na perspectiva da memória coletiva, de acordo com Halbwachs (2006) e da memória trabalho, na acepção de Bosi (2009). Referidas memórias, um total de oito entrevistas, são tomadas como eixo central das reflexões, apresentando a percepção dos entrevistados sobre os tempos em que foram alunos, relativamente ao processo de disciplinarização vivenciado na escola. As falas desses entrevistados igualmente permitiram vislumbrar um conjunto de táticas diante dos castigos (CERTEAU, 1998). No que concerne aos castigos físicos, entre outros, Foucault (1994) é referência para se compreender o processo de disciplinamento e adestramento dos corpos por meio de punições e vigilância. Mesmo proibidos por lei, os castigos escolares, físicos ou morais, estavam presentes nas instituições de ensino, ainda na primeira metade do século XX, sendo paulatinamente substituídos pela disciplina. No caso do Grupo Escolar Nossa Senhora do Sagrado Coração, os castigos, além de não terem sido erradicados, também não foram substituídos pelo processo de disciplinamento. Ambos coexistiram simultaneamente, no intento de corrigir o que era considerado mau comportamento dos alunos. Nesse sentido, as crianças eram educadas para serem dóceis e obedientes, e aprendiam, na escola, a amar a sua Pátria. Os castigos foram meios utilizados pelos professores como formas de exercício da autoridade, com a qual mantinham a ordem, a moral e a disciplina em sala de aula.Abstract: This study identified school punishments and disciplinary processes used at the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School (Grupo Escolar Nossa Senhora do Sagrado Coração), now known as the Our Lady Elementary School (Escola de Educação Básica Nossa Senhora) in the municipality of Angelina (SC), and problematized these punishments and processes. The time period studied was from 1940 - 1975. The theoretical and methodological supports were found in the analysis of written sources, the minutes of pedagogical meetings, a book of disciplinary measures, regulations and decrees. Interviews were also conducted with former students. The memories of former students are analyzed according to Halbwachs' (2006) collective memory perspective, and the memory of work, according to Bosi (2009). These memories, gathered in eight interviews, are used as the central focus of the reflections made, which present the perception of the interviewees about their time as students, relative to the disciplinary process they found in school. The statements of those interviewed also allow identifying a set of tactics used in the punishments (CERTEAU, 1998). In terms of physical punishment, Foucault (1994) helps understand the processof disciplining and taming of bodies by means of punishments and vigilance. Although prohibited by law, school punishments, physical or moral, were found at the schools, even in the first half of the 20th century, and gradually substituted by other forms of discipline. In the case of the Sacred Heart School, in addition to not being eradicated, these punishments were not substituted by a disciplinary process. Both co-existed simultaneously, and were used to correct what was considered bad behavior by students. In this sense, the children were educated to be docile and obedient, and the school taught them to love their country. The punishments were means used by teachers to exercise authority, with which they maintained order, morality and classroom discipline
A forma da cidade e sua apropriação: análise propositiva de diretrizes de arquitetura da cidade para Cumbayá em Quito/Equador
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Urbanismo, História e Arquitetura da CidadeEste trabalho busca entender a relação entre as diversas formas que a cidade vem adquirindo com o passar do tempo e as formas de apropriação contemporâneas, a partir de discussão teórica de conceitos e critérios de autores que discutem o desempenho da forma da cidade em relação à apropriação dos espaços públicos. Com base neste debate, elegemos critérios relacionados à apropriação nas escalas da estrutura da cidade e da configuração dos lugares, e procedeu-se à caracterização e análise da cidade contemporânea de Quito para verificar padrões espaciais diretamente associados com uma apropriação positiva da cidade na cultura quitenha. A partir dos critérios selecionados e dos padrões positivos identificados, lançamos diretrizes de projeto de arquitetura da cidade para uma área de expansão da cidade contemporânea de Quito no Equador - a Paróquia de Cumbayá - buscando responder a critérios de bom desempenho da forma urbana que potencializem a apropriação de seus espaços públicos.The research seeks to understand the relationship between the different forms that the city has acquired over time and contemporary forms of appropriation, based on a theoretical discussion of concepts and criteria of authors who discuss the performance of the form of the city in relation to the appropriation of public spaces. Based on this debate, we selected criteria related to appropriation, both at the scale of city structure and at the scale of place configuration, and proceeded to the characterization and analysis of the contemporary city of Quito in a search to identify spatial patterns directly associated with a positive appropriation of the city in Quito´s culture. The selected criteria and the positive patterns identified oriented the design guidelines here proposed for the architectural design of the Paróquia of Cumbayá - an area of expansion in the city of Quito, Ecuador - in an attempt to comply with the criteria of good urban form performance so as to enhance the appropriation of its public spaces
