The Sertão and the Northeast are two interwoven elements: on one hand, the imaginary of a monolithic region; on the other, the image of an inhospitable place, trapped in its past and crystallized in time. This idealized conception has contributed to the construction of a social imaginary strongly shaped by a regional identity, with cinema serving as one of its primary forms of expression. This study analyzes three cinematic works: Vidas Secas (1962), by Nelson Pereira dos Santos; Baile Perfum...
Water resources play a vital role in a country's development. Streamflow is the primary variable monitored at gauging stations, however measuring this variable involves significant risks and high operational costs. The Brazilian National Hydrometeorological Network (RHN), operated by the Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB) in partnership with the National Water Agency (ANA), provides essential historical datasets for streamflow forecasting. This study aims to develop time series model...

Either on barrels or ceramic pots, over the head or an animals’ back, the water carriers made water flow between streets, slopes and corners of the eighteen century Salvador, in a circuit in which the water that came from the earth reached the inside of homes by the hands of men and women, responsible for an indispensable urban service: water supply. But, being this black body, enslaved or free, their relevance was not recognized, was relegated to the lowest social level and marked by the sti...
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced children’s access to dental services, compromising the prevention and management of oral conditions such as dental trauma.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence and distribution of den...
The occurrence of high-frequency fires can be highly damaging to ecosystems, even those that require fire for their maintenance. This high frequency can alter the landscape, making it more open, and change the phytophysiognomies, leading to greater dominance of grasses. The Chapada Diamantina National Park (PNCD) is among the Federal Conservation Units with the highest number of fire outbreaks in Brazil. This research proposes a temporal analysis of fire outbreaks within the PNCD and its buff...
