Novel reagents and the rapid technique were developed for the simultaneous determination of water and ene-diols or thiols in chemical products, drugs and other materials which are inaccessible for direct K.Fischer titration. The reagents consist of iodine, tetramethylammonium iodide or potassium iodide, base (diethanolamine, triethanolamine, sodium acetate and/or urea) in methanol mixed with N,N-dimethylformamide, or with formamide, or with dimethyl sulfoxide and N,N-dimethylformamide mixture as a solvent. The use of the reagents is based on the consecutive titration first of an ene-diol or thiol by the novel reagents and then of water by a conventional K.Fischer reagent in the same cell in a titration system protected from water vapour and oxygen, with a double burette and electrometric location of the end point in both titrations. The time for both titrations is 8-15 min.

Biokinetic models can optimise pollutant degradation and enhance microbial growth processes, aiding to protect ecosystem protection. Traditional biokinetic approaches (such as Monod, Haldane, etc.) can be challenging, as they require detailed knowledge of the organism's metabolism and the ability to solve numerous kinetic differential equations based on the principles of micro, molecular biology and biochemistry (first engineering principles) which can lead to discrepancies between predicted and actual degradation rates.

The relationship between the environment and health has become a relevant topic on the public policy agenda since the 1990s. This study seeks to describe this relationship from the perspective of the National Policy for Comprehensive Health of Populations of the Countryside, Forest, and Waters in the community of São Pedro, in the Lower Amazon region of Pará. This is a descriptive study focused on conducting diagnoses that consider the environment-health relationship in the Community.

In this study, we report the modification of a monolithic γ-aluminum oxy-hydroxide (γ-AlOOH) aerogel with cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) using the sol-gel method via supercritical drying. The optimized 2% CNF (w/w) results in a monolithic CNF-γ-AlOOH that is amorphous in nature, along with C-C and C-O-C functional groups. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the as-synthesized CNF-γ-AlOOH showed CNF embedded in the γ-AlOOH aerogel.

Buruli ulcer (BU) is a necrotizing skin and soft tissue disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans that is common in hot and humid climates. Mycobacterium ulcerans is a nontuberculous mycobacterium and ubiquitous acid-fast gram-positive bacillus known to thrive in aquatic environments and water insects. The mode of transmission to humans is poorly understood and varies by geography.
