Currently has been a growing concern about the relationship between humans and nature. The challenges to making this relationship more sustainable have been pointed out. Together with this growing need and concern environmental, geotechnologies appear as strong allies, especially in the generation of more accurate and updated data to assist in tasks such as environmental management and planning in the processes of exploration of a given biome. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the phenological behavior of Cerrado phytophysiognomies (Pirapitinga Ecological Station - MG) with the use of time series of NDVI and surface temperature determined from digital images, obtained with the Landsat 5-TM sensor. For this, a study was carried out with the two time series, analyzing the intrinsic variables, such as trend, seasonality, prediction and cointegration. The prediction of the NDVI series presented a standard error lower than 0.079, which represents a quality information about the phytophysiognomy analyzed at a future time. This is a very important fact, given that currently the Cerrado suffers from an accelerated process of degradation. Therefore, it is useful information in processes of recovery, maneuver and management of degraded areas.
According to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, Brazil is fourth in the world position in relation to the absolute size of female prison population, with 42.000 women deprived of freedom (2016), behind the United States, China and Russia. Around 50% are young (< 29 years old), 62% are black and 66% have not yet attended high school. This study aimed to characterize the profile of women incarcerated in a penitentiary in the interior of Brazil, through the survey of sociodemographic data, education, health, legal and life expectations. This is a descriptive and exploratory study conducted with 68 women (20 to 67 years old) in 2019 and 2020. Most women declared themselves black or brown (56%), incomplete elementary school (42%), have work experience (73%). Around 69% reported needing health treatment and 76% have already used psychoactive substances including alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine or crack. The main reasons that led to the arrest were drug trafficking (54%) and theft (26%) and the majority (53%) are repeat offenders in prison system. Regarding the biggest dream of life, the main answers were related to family life (44%), having a job (26%) and access to education (20%). With these results, an extension project was proposed to offer a professional qualification in vegetable gardens, aromatic and medicinal plants for women prisoners. In addition to professional qualification, the project is dedicated to promoting debates on map of life, ethics, human relations, citizenship, gender, women's rights and health, quality of life, body and verbal expression, digital inclusion, food and nutrition security, entrepreneurship, cooperativism, solidary economy, rights and duties of the worker, aiming at better employment conditions. This research contributed to articulate actions between university and society, empower women through access to education and allowed the work team to develop competencies related to collaborative work and interdisciplinarity.

Nas últimas décadas tem ocorrido um maior envolvimento da sociedade com as questões ambientais. Discursos em encontros e eventos mundiais e locais demonstram uma maior preocupação com a relação entre o ser humano e a natureza e têm apontado os desafios para que essa relação seja cada vez mais sustentável. Juntamente com essa crescente necessidade e preocupação ambiental, a tecnologia aparece como forte aliada, especialmente na coleta de dados cada vez mais acurados para auxiliar em tarefas como o manejo e o planejamento ambiental. Com o desenvolvimento tecnológico da indústria de satélites/sensores/imagens em termos de qualidade espectral, espacial, radiométrica e temporal, as geotecnologias surgem como uma ferramenta útil nesse processo de gestão e planejamento ambiental. O histórico de imagens digitais que remota à década de 80, do século XX, facilita o desenvolvimento de metodologias que buscam compreender a dinâmica ambiental no tempo, auxiliando o ser humano na tomada de decisões acertadas, o que pode reduzir os danos causados ao meio ambiente. Nesse contexto, esse estudo buscou analisar o comportamento fenológico de fitofisionomias do Cerrado (Estação Ecológica de Pirapitinga-Morada Nova de Minas/MG) com o uso de séries temporais de NDVI e temperatura de superfície, determinados a partir de imagens digitais, obtidas com o sensor TM do satélite Landsat 5. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo por série temporal, analisando as variáveis intrínsecas, tais como tendência, sazonalidade, cointegração e previsão. Os resultados indicam que ambas as séries, NDVI e temperatura de superfície, apresentam tendência, sazonalidade e não apresentam cointegração. A previsão da série NDVI apresentou um erro padrão inferior a 0,079 e isso representa a geração de informação futura, de qualidade, de variadas fitofisionomias do Cerrado, que atualmente sofrem com um acelerado processo de degradação, sendo, portanto, útil em processos como: recuperação, manejo, gestão de áreas degradadas, bem como arquivamento de informação em caso de extinção de espécies de uma fitofisionomia.
