Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world, and together with the millions of tons produced, millions of tons of residues are also generated. The generated residues are a source of environmental contamination depending on the chosen processing route. One of the main applications of food industry waste is in the production of raw materials to produce edible films and coatings. Coffee mucilage is a pectin-rich liquid residue from the coffee sector that can be used in the production of value-added products. Given this, the objective of this work was to characterize and evaluate the potential of functional and technological properties of coffee mucilage and your applicability in the production of edible films. The filmogenic mixture was obtained by casting from 10% (w/v) lyophilized coffee mucilage and solvent (water). The films produced from the coffee mucilage presented good homogeneity, continuity (absence of ruptures or fragile regions), flexibility, ease of detachment of the support and handling, without the need to add adjuvant to its formation. In addition, they presented uniformity in thickness, high light barrier and medium water vapor barrier. Thus, it can be concluded that mucilage is a potential product to be used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries.
ResumoO setor florestal tem, historicamente, no Sul do Brasil, importância estratégica. O presente estudo buscou identificar o grau de presença das chamadas características culturais nacionais na região do Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL) da madeira de União da Vitória -Porto União. Dentre as características analisadas -personalismo, protecionismo, aversão à incerteza, formalismo, "jeitinho", receptividade ao estrangeiro e orientação ao curto prazo -, apenas duas representaram diferentes níveis de presença entre as empresas participantes e não participantes do APL: formalismo e receptividade ao estrangeiro. As características mais marcantes foram a orientação ao curto prazo e o protecionismo. Com base nessa realidade, para potencializar o processo de formação e implementação do APL, recomenda-se: i) profissionalização do setor; ii) realização de estudos de mercado e de competitividade do segmento; iii) implementação de sistemas de qualidade; iv) adoção de soluções com base na realidade local; v) trabalhar a importância da gerência local e a participação de todos os interessados; e, por fim, vi) elaboração de um planejamento regional com horizonte temporal, com respectivo acompanhamento da execução. Palavras-chave: Características culturais nacionais; APL; planejamento. Abstract Influence of the Brazilian national cultural traits in the formation of the APL´S -The case of the enterprises of the wood's local productive arrangement. Historically, the Forest sector in SouthBrazilian is strategic importance. This study aimed to identify the level of presence of the main Brazilian national cultural traits in the Wood's Local Productive Arrangement (APL) of União da Vitória -Porto União, southern Brazil. Among the analyzed characteristics: personal relations, protectionist, formalism, local and informal procedures of finding ways to solve problems, aversion to uncertainty, receptivity and short-term orientation only of them, two showed difference level of presence among participants of APL and non-participants enterprises -formalism and receptivity. The most outs tan ding national cultural traits found were short-term orientation and protectionism. To help the formation and implementation of the APL, taking into account the scenarios identified, some actions are suggested: I) sector's professionalization, II) development of market and sector's competition studies, III) implementation of quality systems, IV) solutions based in the local reality, V) development of local management and stakeholders participation, and, VI) preparation of a long-term regional planning, with implementation of monitoring and evaluation system.

This article is the result of reflections arising from participation in the course Mission, Culture, Society and Religion in Latin America. It aims to evaluate the relationship between Classical Pentecostalism and Historical Tradition in the context of new missionary challenges determined by an era characterized by rapid urbanization, modernization and globalization of the Brazilian culture. Initially, we address the historical processes of establishment of Protestantism in Brazil, and present the current scenario highlighting the large growth of Pentecostal group since their arrival in the country. Finally, we reflect on the missionary projects, usually conflicting, and then we point out the need for a new missionary proposal that is relevant to the people.
