“…É nesse contexto que a Ergonomia desempenha um papel importante dentro das organizações. Segundo Linhares et al (2018), ela foca a atividade de trabalho das pessoas e busca melhorar suas condições de execução melhorando o uso e manuseio de produtos. Ela busca articular conhecimentos sobre a pessoa, a tecnologia e a organização, para sustentar sua prática de mudança dos determinantes e condicionantes da atividade profissional e do uso e manuseio de produtos ou sistemas.…”

O crescimento econômico vigente nos dias atuais modificou a forma de realizar o trabalho, desta forma as organizações tiveram que repensar seus conceitos em relação à ergonomia. Historicamente, as estações de trabalho passaram por uma fase de evolução, a partir dos anos 50, com as pesquisas em ergonomia que contribuíram para fundamentar a necessidade de espaços adequados à atividade a ser executada nos diversos tipos de tarefas. A ergonomia objetiva sempre a melhor adequação ou adaptação possível do objeto, aos seres vivos em geral. Sobretudo no que diz respeito à segurança, ao conforto e a eficácia de uso ou de operacionalidade dos objetos, mais particularmente, nas atividades e tarefas humanas. Este artigo tem o objetivo de pesquisar em diferentes empresas como elas se posicionam em relação ao ler/dort, ruído, ambiente térmico e suas consequências ao empregado. Utilizou-se um método de pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória. Utilizou-se de múltiplos estudos de casos de empresas da região de Sorocaba, aplicando um questionário semiestruturado nos níveis gerenciais de cada empresa.

Investigating the Influence of Fly Attractant on Food Waste Recovery through Fly Larvae Production

et al. 2022

The food industry is one of the sectors that produces considerable amounts of solid waste on a daily basis. Handling such waste has been a significant issue of worldwide concern. As a result, research into developing low-cost and effective technology for the recovery of food waste is critical in order to keep pace with the rapidly developing world. This research investigated the potential of maggot production on the recovery of food waste. Four different food waste materials (banana, starch, pineapples, and oranges) were taken into consideration. Additionally, the effect of the fly attractant on the production system’s overall performance was assessed; the fly attractant was a mixture of cattle blood and meat waste. With a correlation index of 0.96 (without fly attractant) and 0.87 (with fly attractant), the number of days before harvesting and the average maggot weight had a very high (positive) correlation. Moreover, it was observed that using a fly attractant increased maggot yield substantially. For instance, the banana materials produced up to 94 g/kg of maggot weight on the eighth day, which is approximately a 32.4% increase from the same material without fly attractant. On the other hand, the trials’ relative dry weight reduction ranged from 52.5% to 82.4%. The results of this study also showed that producing maggots can be a practical method for recovering food waste, particularly when combined with the use of a fly attractant. The residue from the maggot production process can be applied as an organic fertilizer.

Waste recovery is an important aspect towards human and environmental health protection. Unfortunately, proper food waste management is among the serious challenges in the field of solid waste management worldwide. Therefore, it is of great importance to conduct studies towards achieving efficient and cost-effective approaches for food waste management. This study investigated the potential of recovering food waste through maggots’ production as animal feed. The influence of fly attractant application on maggot production was also investigated. The study also investigated the potential of maggot production for waste recovery and reduction. Four different types of food waste (starch food leftovers, rotten bananas and peels, rotten pineapple and peels, and rotten oranges) were used in the investigation process. From the results, it was observed that the application of fly attractants had a significant effect on the production of maggots as determined by the weights after harvesting. Average weight of 94 g/kg of maggot was achieved from banana materials with an application of fly attractant during the 8th day of the cultivation; which is equivalent to a 32.4% increase from the same day when the material was cultured without applying fly attractant. Also, from the starch materials, about 77 g/kg of maggot weight was achieved; which is a 54.6% increase from the same day and the same material but without application of fly attractant. Moreover, the relative dry weight reduction in the trials varied from 52.5% to 82.4%.
