We performed a scientometry to validate trends in the scientific production on phytotelmata and the importance of these microenvironments in the maintenance of biodiversity. We searched for articles in the Web of Science and looked at publications from 1987 to 2016. We collected years of publication, surveyed organisms, countries where the surveys took place, plants that accumulate phytotelmata, scientific journals that publish more about the topic and their respective IFs (Impact Factor) and the keywords of each article. We built a heatmap using the most frequent keywords in the studies, to investigate the topics studied over the years. We have found 293 publications, increasing over the years. Insects, anurans and crustaceans were the most studied organisms. The most studied plant families were Bromeliaceae, Poaceae and Apiaceae. The published studies analized were carried out mainly in Brazil, Argentina and Peru. The most published journals on the subject are: Zootaxa, Hydrobiologia, Biotropica and Journal of Natural History. Some main global concerns such as climate change, habitat fragmentation has gained the attention of the phytotelmata studies in the recent years. The results contribute to the knowledge about phytotelmata accumulated biodiversity and research trends.

Brazil is the second nation in absolute number of new cases of leprosy in the world. The country presents many regions highly endemic to the disease, as is the case of the Goiás. The present study aims to analyze the temporal trends of leprosy indicators in Goiás between 2006 and 2015. This study showed a significant trend of decline for the coefficient of detection. Although the central-western region of the state presented the highest absolute number of cases, the Northeast of the state presents the worst epidemiological situation, with an increase in the number of cases of patients with physical disabilities and those under 14 years of age. The data also showed that there is an increase in the cases of patients with physical deformities in almost all macroregions of the state, indicative of late diagnosis. It is very important that there is a more effective and continuous training of the health professionals of the non-centralized units, for a real control of leprosy as a public health problem in the state. In addition, special attention should be given to the poorer regions of the state, which have shown a tendency to increase the diagnosis of patients younger than 14 years and with physical disabilities caused by leprosy.

The gum arabic obtained from the trunk and branches of the woody species Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal is a polysaccharide exudate with numerous biochemical properties, whose production can suffer impacts from several environmental factors. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of some environmental factors on the production of this exudate. For this study, we compared the production of the gum in the rainy and dry season through a meta-analysis, using studies published in several databases. Moreover, a meta-regression was performed to evaluate the influence of environmental variables on the effect of precipitation on gum production. We used 13 papers that met the criteria for this meta-analysis. We observed that the production of gum Arabic is higher in the rainy season than in the dry season. In addition, we noticed an effect of the minimum temperature and air relative humidity on the best production of gums

ResumoO grupo de pesquisa Processos de leitura e de escrita: apropriação eobjetivação (PROLEAO), vinculado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação emEducação da UNESP em Marília-SP, estuda o ensino da leitura e da escrita sob concepções bakthinianas e vigotskianas. Atualmente o grupo compara os conceitos em Marxismo e filosofia da linguagem, de Volochinov, em duas diferentes edições: a brasileira, pela Hucitec, tradução de Michel Lahud e Yara Frateschi; a francesa, pela Lambert Lucas, de Patrick Sériot e Inna Tylkowski-Ageeva. O artigo aqui publicado tem o objetivo de expor as ações do grupo e as bases do projeto em desenvolvimento sobre a citada obra.Palavras-chave: Temas bakhtinianos, conceitos de Volochinov, traduções de Volochinov
