There is little head-to-head evidence comparing interventions available for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). This review involved a series of systematic reviews and network meta-analyses (NMAs) to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions among patients with JIA. Outcomes were the American College of Rheumatology Pediatric 30 (ACR Pedi 30) (disease response), its six composite outcomes, pain relief, health-related quality of life, and physical and emotional functioning. There was some evidence that etanercept had greater reduction in the number of joints with active arthritis compared to abatacept for polyarticular-course JIA and that canakinumab had improved ACR Pedi 30 over rilonacept. Non-pharmacological interventions showed no significant results for efficacy but were safe overall. Most included studies were low-quality and many were excluded from analysis because of unclear reporting or no results for outcomes of interest. As more studies are conducted this will improve the estimates from the NMAs.

Many countries strengthen their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit climate change and meet the Paris Agreement (Masson-Delmotte et al., 2019). Commitments include achieving net-zero emissions or in some cases even negative emissions (Government offices of Sweden, 2020a; United Nations, 2021a). To achieve these goals, carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is considered as an essential strategy. Carbon capture storage and utilization are recognized methods of reducing or avoiding greenhouse gas emissions (IEA, 2019a, 2020). However, the uncertainty regarding costs, financial incentives, and pricing is impeding adoption. Further information is needed for CCUS concepts both in respect to cost estimates and required market prices for CCUS, this to provide guidance for decision makers and market actors. In this report a study has investigated the economic feasibility of three CCUS concepts for a biogas facility. One CCS concept where CO2 was captured and liquefied on-site to be transported to a terminal for shipping and end storage injection. The CCS concept annual capacity was ~16 500 ton net stored CO2. Two CCU concepts were considered, where synthetic natural gas (SNG) was produced via biologic methanation with on-site produced hydrogen, both with annual production of ~88 GWh SNG. A techno-economic assessment (TEA) was carried out where the key cost-drivers were identified, and the economic feasibility assessed. With performance and cost estimates for each process step in the different considered concepts a model was built where a cash flow was created and a net present value (NPV) could be calculated. The study found transportation to be the most prominent cost driver for CCS where shipping and storage represented 57 % of the total cost of CO2 removal. The cost driver for CCU concepts was found to be hydrogen production, where the electricity for the electrolyser constituted 65 % of the total cost of produced SNG. None of the concepts were found economic feasible when the Swedish market was considered. The break-even price for CO2 removal in the CCS concept was found to be 151 €/ton, just above the assumed base value used in this study. As the voluntary market is still undeveloped it is difficult to know what price that could be expected, however, in discussion with market experts a range between 150-200 €/ton would not be unthinkable for the concept studied. For the CCU concepts to be economically feasible, the estimated minimum price levels for SNG were 184 and 193 €/MWh respectively. Comparing to the benchmark price of diesel of 125 €/MWh, both CCU concepts were concluded to be unfeasible. The sensitivity analysis showed that the CCU concepts were very sensitive to variations in electricity price. When the German fuel market was considered, all studied concepts yielded a positive business case. CCS was the only concept showing economic feasibility, while the CCU concepts remained unfeasible. In the German market a GHG reduction quota credit was accounted for which was valued higher than the carbon removal credits in the voluntary market. / Många länder stärker sina åtaganden att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser för att begränsa klimatförändringen och uppfylla Parisavtalet (Masson-Delmotte et al., 2019). I åtagandena ingår att uppnå nettonollutsläpp eller i vissa fall till och med negativa utsläpp (Regeringskansliet, 2020a; FN, 2021a). För att uppnå dessa mål anses avskiljning, nyttjande och lagring av koldioxid (CCUS) vara en viktig strategi. Avskiljning, lagring och utnyttjande av koldioxid är erkända metoder för att minska eller undvika utsläpp av växthusgaser (IEA, 2019a, 2020). Osäkerheten kring kostnader, ekonomiska incitament och prissättning hindrar dock införandet. Ytterligare information behövs för CCUS-koncept både när det gäller kostnadsberäkningar och nödvändiga marknadspriser för CCUS, detta för att ge vägledning för beslutsfattare och marknadsaktörer. I den här rapporten undersöks den ekonomiska genomförbarheten av tre CCUS-koncept för en biogasanläggning. Ett CCS-koncept där koldioxid avskiljs och kondenseras på plats för att sedan transporteras till en terminal för slutlig sjöfrakt och injektion i geologiskt lager. Den årliga kapaciteten för CCS-konceptet var ~16 500 ton nettolagrad koldioxid. Två CCU-koncept övervägdes, där syntetisk natur gas (SNG) producerades genom biologisk metanisering med vätgas producerad på plats, där båda koncepten hade en årlig produktion av ~88 GWh SNG. En tekno-ekonomisk undersökning genomfördes där de viktigaste kostnadsdrivande faktorerna identifierades och den ekonomiska genomförbarheten bedömdes. Med hjälp av prestanda- och kostnadsberäkningar för varje processteg i de olika tänkta koncepten byggdes en modell där ett kassaflöde skapades och ett netto-nuvärde kunde beräknas. I studien konstaterades att transport var den mest framträdande kostnadsdrivande faktorn för CCS, där sjöfrakt och lagring stod för 57 % av den totala kostnaden för koldioxidavskiljning. Kostnadsdrivande för CCU-konceptet var vätgasproduktionen, där el till elektrolysen utgjorde 65 % av den totala kostnaden för producerad SNG. Inget av koncepten befanns vara ekonomiskt genomförbart när den svenska marknaden beaktades. Nollpunktspriset för koldioxidavskiljning i CCS-konceptet fanns vara 151 euro/ton, vilket är strax över det antagna basvärde som används i denna studie. Eftersom den frivilliga marknaden fortfarande är outvecklad är det svårt att veta vilket pris som kan förväntas, men i diskussioner med marknadsexperter skulle ett prisintervall på 150-200 €/ton inte vara otänkbart för det studerade konceptet. För att CCU-koncepten ska vara ekonomiskt genomförbara var de uppskattade minimipriserna för SNG 184 respektive 193 €/MWh. Jämfört med referenspriset för diesel på 125 €/MWh, ansågs båda CCU-koncepten vara ekonomiskt ogenomförbara. Känslighetsanalysen visade att CCU-koncepten var mycket känsliga för variationer i elpriset. När den tyska bränslemarknaden beaktades gav alla studerade koncept ett positivt netto-nuvärde. CCS konceptet var det enda konceptet som ansågs vara ekonomiskt genomförbart, medan CCU-koncepten förblev ogenomförbara. På den tyska marknaden räknades en kvot för minskning av växthusgasutsläpp in, som värderades högre än de krediter för avskiljning av koldioxid som fanns på den frivilliga marknaden.

<p>Sammanfattning</p><p>Jag har i min studie undersökt om lärarna i grundskolans tidigare år använder sig av integrering av de estetiska ämnena bild och musik i sin naturorienterade undervisning och i sin biologiundervisning. Avgränsningen till bild och musik bottnade i att dessa ämnen inte kändes så komplicerade i integreringen. Litteraturstudier inom det valda ämnesområdet bidrog till en fördjupad kunskap om estetik i kombination med skolvärlden. Jag har intervjuat sex stycken klasslärare som arbetar på låg och mellanstadiet. Där framkom att pedagogernas kompetens och personliga åsikter om bild och musik påverkade om läraren valde att integrera dessa eller inte. Pedagogernas inställning till bild och musik varierade, men undersökningen gav ett tydligt svar då nästan ingen av lärarna integrerade de estetiska ämnena i sin undervisning. Pedagogernas bristande intresse och/eller kompetens visar sig vara en av anledningarna till detta. Detta kan medföra att barnen inte får möjlighet att utveckla olika sätt att uttrycka sig på och därmed inte få möjlighet att förmedla sina tankar på det sätt som lämpar sig bäst för individen.</p> / <p>Abstract</p><p>I have in my study investigated if teachers in the earlier years of school use integration of the aesthetics subjects picture and music in their sciences- and biology tutoring. The delimitation to picture and music predicate in the non-complication with the integration. Litterateur studies in the chosen subject have contributed to a deeper knowledge about the aesthetic subjects in combination with the school. I have interviewed six teachers that are working in lower school and in intermediary school. There has been shone that the teachers competence and personal views about picture and music influenced the choice of integration ore not. The pedagogues attitude to picture and music vary, but the investigation gave a lucidly answer as almost none of the teachers integrated the aesthetic subjects in there tutoring. The pedagogues’ lack of interest and/ore competence appears to be the reason to this. This can cause that the children not gets the opportunity to envelop different ways to express theme serfs and consequently not gets the opportunity to put across there thoughts in the way that are most adapt for the individual.</p>

<p>In the process of making carton boards into Skoghall Mill, are great quantities of water being contaminated. This water has to be treated before it is possible to release into the recipient, Kattfjorden. One of the contaminations that is important to extract from the wastewater, is organic carbon (measured as TOC-total organic carbon) because microbiological breakdown can lead to the bottom becomig free of oxygen.</p><p>The wastewater treatment at Skoghall Mill is done through an external wastewater treatment that is located at the factory. The biological treatment (aerated lagoon) is a 140 000 m3 water pool with surface aerator, which is give oxygen to the water. In the lagoon live microorganisms who performs the biggest part of the TOC-reduction.</p><p>One problem with the lagoon is that the treatment of TOC is considerably worse during wintertime than during summertime. The reduction is during wintertime only 40 %, while during summertime it is about 70-80 %. This seasonal variation can to a large extent be explained by, that the water temperature in the lagoon decreases wintertime. The low water temperature does that the biological activity in the lagoon is reduced, which reduces the TOC-reduction. A second reason can also be that the microorganisms do not have enough bioavailable nutrients that is needed for growth of a new biomass.</p><p>In this thesis the need of nutrient has been examined. In two test pools, addings of nutrient were being done, to come to the conclusion of a good dosage of nutrient which would lead to a larger reduction of TOC, without enlarged quantities of nitrogen/phosphorus in the outgoing water. One of the test pools hold a summer temperature (30°C), and the other test pool hold a winter temperature (10°C). The test was performed this way to see if there would be any difference in the need of nutrient between summertime and wintertime.</p><p>The most important conclusion was that a nutrient dosage to the Skoghall aerated lagoon, rise the TOC-reduction wintertime. It was also concluded that it was foremost the nitrogen that contributed to the raised TOC-reduction, and nitrogen is thereby considered to be the growth restraining element wintertime. It seemed like phosphorus had been overdosed during the tests, while enlarged halts of the substance could be seen in the outgoing water, and an optimal dosage of phosphorus could not be done. The recommendation that came as a results from the tests, was that during wintertime add nitrogen and phosphorus according to TOC:N:P-quota 100:0,75:0,10. To the summer pool was no considerable improvement of the TOC-reduction seen, as a result of the nutrient addings. It is also no reason to dosage nutrients in summertime.</p> / <p>Vid tillverkning av kartong och pappersmassa på Skoghalls Bruk förorenas stora mängder vatten, som därmed måste renas före utsläpp till recipienten, Kattfjorden, en vik i Vänern. En av de föroreningar som är viktig att avlägsna ur avloppsvattnet är organiska kolföreningar (TOC-total organic carbon) eftersom det vid mikrobiologisk nedbrytning av TOC åtgår syre vilket kan leda till att sjöbotten blir syrefri.</p><p>Rening av avloppsvatten på Skoghall Bruk sker genom en extern reningsanläggning som är placerad på bruket. Det biologiska reningssteget i reningsanläggningen är en s.k. luftad damm. Detta är en 140 000 m3 stor vattenbassäng med ytluftare som syresätter vattnet. I dammen lever mikroorganismer vilka utför den största delen av TOC-reduktionen i brukets reningsanläggning.</p><p>Ett problem med dammen är att reningen av TOC är betydligt sämre vintertid än sommartid. Reduktionen av det till dammen inkommande TOC, är vintertid endast ca 40 % medan den sommartid ligger kring 70-80 %. Denna årstidsvariation kan till stor del förklaras av att vattentemperaturen i dammen sjunker vintertid. Den låga temperaturen medför att den biologiska aktiviteten i dammen sjunker, vilket hämmar TOC-reduktionen. En annan orsak till en låg TOC-reduktion kan vara att det för mikroorganismerna råder brist på biotillgängliga närsalter (kväve och fosfor) som behövs för tillväxt av ny biomassa.</p><p>I detta examensarbete har det undersökts behovet av närsalter för att höja TOC-reduktionen. I två laborationsdammar (ca 20 l) skedde doseringar av närsalter i syfte att finna en bra doseringskvot som innebar en ökad reduktion av TOC, utan att det blev förhöjda kväve-/fosforhalter i utgående vatten. En av laborationsdammarna höll sommartemperatur (ca 30°C) och en höll vintertemperatur (ca 10°C) vilket gjordes för att undersöka om det var skillnad av närsaltsbehovet mellan sommar och vintertid.</p><p>Den viktigaste slutsatsen av försöken var att en närsaltsdosering till Skoghalls luftade damm höjer TOC-reduktion vintertid. Det konstaterades att det var kvävet som främst bidrog till den ökade TOC-reduktionen och kväve anses därmed vara det tillväxtbegränsande ämnet vintertid. Fosfor tycktes ha överdoserats under försöken, då det sågs förhöjda halter i utgående vatten, och en optimal dosering av fosfor kunde inte avgöras. Den rekommendation som föll ut av de laborativa försöken var att vintertid dosera kväve och fosfor enligt TOC:N:P-kvot 100:0,75:0,10. Till sommardammen sågs inte någon förbättring av TOC-reduktionen till följd av närsaltstillsatserna, vilket innebär att närsaltsdoseringar sommartid är obefogat. Vidare sågs tendenser till att slammets sedimentationsegenskaper, hos framförallt vinterdammen, blev bättre till följd av närsaltsdosering, men brist på mätdata medför att det är svårt att dra slutsatser om det verkligen varit så.</p>

The birth of complexity research derives from the logical progression of advancement in the scientific field afforded by reductionist theory. We present in silico models of two complex physiological processes, wound healing and coagulation/fibrinolysis based on two common tools in the study of complex physiology: ordinary differential equations (ODE) and Agent Based Modeling (ABM). The strengths of these two approaches are well-suited in the analysis of clinical paradigms such as wound healing and coagulation. The complex interactions that characterize acute wound healing have stymied the development of effective therapeutic modalities. The use of computational models holds the promise to improve our basic approach to understanding the process. We have modified an existing ordinary differential equation model by 1) evolving from a systemic model to a local model, 2) the incorporation of fibroblast activity, and3) including the effects of tissue oxygenation. Possible therapeutic targets, such as fibroblast death rate and rate of fibroblast recruitment have been identified by computational analysis. This model is a step toward constructing an integrative systems biology model of human wound healing. The coagulation and fibrinolytic systems are complex, inter-connected biological systems with major physiological roles. We present an Agent Based Modeling and Simulation (ABMS) approach to these complex interactions. This ABMS method successfully reproduces the initiation, propagation, and termination of blood clot formation and its lysis in vitro due to the activation of either the intrinsic or extrinsic pathways. Furthermore, the ABMS was able to simulate the pharmacological effects of two clinically used anticoagulants, warfarin and heparin, as well as the physiological effects of enzyme deficiency/dysfunction, i.e., hemophilia and antithrombin III-heparin binding impairment, on the coagulation system. The results of the model compare favorably with in vitro experimental data under both physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. Our computational systems biology approach integrates reductionist experimental data into a cohesive model that allows rapid evaluation of the effects of multiple variables. Our ODE and AMBS models offer the ability to generate non-linear responses based on known relationships among variables and in silico modeling of mechanistic biological rules on computer software, respectively. Simulations of normal and disease states as well as effects of therapeutic intervention demonstrate the potential uses of computer simulation. Specifically, models may be applied to hypothesis generation and biological advances, discovery of new diagnostic and therapeutic options, platforms to test novel therapies, and opportunities to predict adverse events during drug development. The ultimate aim of such models is creation of bedside simulators that allow personalized, individual medicine; however, a myriad of opportunities for scientific advancement are opened through in silico experimentation.

Les sciences du vivant ont connu des développements technologiques importants dans les dernières décennies. Dans les années 90 et 2000 le monde a assisté à l'apparition de plusieurs technologies a priori prometteuses telles que le clonage de mammifères, la transgénèse animale et végétale ou encore les traitements thérapeutiques par des cellules souches. La littérature spécialisée dans le domaine est riche en publications sur les aspects technico-expérimentaux de ces technologies et, malgré la difficulté technique encore apparente dans les publications, les auteurs sont optimistes quant à la réalisation de ces technologies de façon commerciale. Ces avancées technologiques se sont accompagnées de l'émergence d'une nouvelle industrie du vivant. Les entreprises de ce nouvel environnement sont rapidement reconnaissables par leur besoin intensif de connaissance, leur haut niveau de spécialisation et des compétences hautement spécialisées. Mais, malgré ce caractère innovant, et le développement d'un nouveau marché à haute valeur ajoutée, les entreprises qui se lancent sur ces activités sont fréquemment affrontées à des difficultés économiques. Nous avons souhaité analyser cette nouvelle industrie du point de vue gestionnaire afin de comprendre les difficultés de gestion rencontrées par les acteurs. La littérature académique et empirique traite peu les questions managériales de ces technologies. Généralement, chaque technologie y est traitée de façon très individualisée de façon à ce que chaque technologie soit reconnue comme une entité particulière, presque unique. Ce contexte engendre l'impossibilité d'avoir une vision unifiée et générique de ces industries. Nous avons alors proposé de concevoir un modèle générique permettant de discuter les caractéristiques managériales génériques de cette industrie. Cet effort de conceptualisation est utile dans un premier temps pour comprendre les difficultés de gestion rencontrées par les entreprises dédiées aux technologies récentes du domaine du vivant. Par la suite, le concept peut être utile pour la proposition d'améliorations managériales. La Théorie C-K a été mobilisée pour faciliter l'organisation des informations disponibles et les structurer de façon à en faire des connaissances mobilisables pour la conception du modèle générique souhaité. La collecte des informations a été réalisée à l'aide d'une étude de cas, telle que décrite par Eisenhardt (1989). Comme il existe une grande variété de technologies dans cette industrie, nous avons décidé de développer le concept à partir du cas d'une technologie spécialement touchée par les difficultés entrepreneuriales : celle du clonage équin. [...] Suite et fin du résumé dans la thèse. / Life sciences noticed important technological developments during the last decades. Some promising examples, developed in the 90's and 2000's, were mammals cloning, animal and vegetal transgenesis and the therapeutic stem cells. The specialized literature of the life science domain is rich on technical-experimental publications and despite the technical difficulty still present, the authors are optimistic about their commercial issue. These technological advances induced the emergence of a new life science industry where the companies are knowledge intensive and highly specialised. Despite the innovative character and the development of a new market of high added value, the companies of this sector often face economic difficulties. We analysed this recent industry under the managerial point of view aiming to understand the difficulties presented to the managers. Little concern about these problems is available in the specialised literature. In general the technologies are treated individually as an almost unique entity. Under this context it is currently impossible to develop a general overview enabling to study general aspects of this industry. In this aim we proceeded to design a generical model that could allow discussing the managerial characteristics of the industry. This designing effort was necessary to understand the general difficulties met by the companies specialised in these recent technologies. Thereafter the concept can be used to propose managerial improvements. The C-K Theory was employed to structure and translate available information in order to make them available for the design of the model. The data was collected under a case study methodology, as described by Eisenhardt (1989). The existence of a rich panel of recent technologies in this domain justifies the need to develop the concept from a unique extreme case, especially affected by managerial difficulties: the case of the equine cloning. Last and final summary in the thesis.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar aspectos biológicos e ecológicos de Austinixa aidae, um caranguejo simbionte em galerias construídas pelo Thalassinidea Callichirus major, na Praia do Perequê-Açu, Ubatuba, litoral Norte do Estado de São Paulo. As coletas foram realizadas por meio de bombas de sucção manual na região intermareal da praia arenosa, de Maio/2005 a Setembro/2006. Nesta dissertação foram apresentados, em três capítulos distintos, a Estrutura Populacional, o Crescimento Relativo e as Estratégias Reprodutivas deste caranguejo. No Capítulo I, sua população foi estudada com ênfase em aspectos estruturais como abundância sazonal, freqüência de indivíduos em classes de tamanho, razão sexual, densidade e incidência nas galerias de seus hospedeiros, os períodos reprodutivo e de recrutamento. Além disso, foram avaliadas as correlações entre sua densidade e seu tamanho com o tamanho de seus respectivos hospedeiros. Foi constatado que as espécies do gênero Austinixa possuem aspectos ecológicos e biológicos semelhantes, mesmo em casos de localidades muito distantes geograficamente, corroborando o que foi postulado por outros autores quanto à similaridade destes parâmetros entre os membros do grupo. No Capítulo II, devido ao forte dimorfismo sexual e uma série de adaptações morfológicas atribuídas ao estilo de vida simbionte destes caranguejos, foram estudadas as características corporais, o crescimento relativo, a maturidade e o dimorfismo sexual destes indivíduos. Os adultos de A. aidae possuem a largura da carapaça em média 2,4 vezes o seu comprimento, essas características foram sugeridas como sendo adaptações ao estilo de vida simbionte. O crescimento relativo evidenciou que alterações morfológicas processadas ao longo da ontogenia dos animais estão relacionadas à maturidade sexual da espécie. No Capítulo III, o objetivo foi conhecer a estratégia reprodutiva relacionada à fecundidade, determinando-se o número de ovos produzidos pelas fêmeas ovígeras de distintos tamanhos e em diferentes períodos, além do desenvolvimento dos ovos, seu diâmetro e volume. A. aidae apresentou uma estratégia reprodutiva com padrões característicos de outros crustáceos Decapoda, com evidências de eficiência reprodutiva no local onde esta população está instalada. Considerando a ausência de estudos populacionais e reprodutivos para esta espécie, esta dissertação visou suprir esta demanda na literatura científica. / The biological and ecological aspects of Austinixa aidae, a symbiotic crab inhabiting burrows of the Thalassinidea ghost shrimp Callichirus major, from Perequê-Açu beach, Ubatuba, North shore of State of São Paulo, Brazil, were studied. The samples were conducted bimonthly with manual suction pumps in the intertidal region of the sand beach, from May/2005 to September/2006. This project was subdivided into three chapters: Population Structure, Relative growth and Reproductive Strategies. In Chapter I, the population of A. aidae was determined in terms of seasonal abundance, size frequency distribution, sex ratio, density and incidence in the burrows of the thalassinids, reproductive and recruitment periods. In addition, were evaluated the correlations between its density and size with size of their respective hosts. Was found that Austinixa species posses similar biological and ecological aspects, even in distant localities. In Chapter II, due to sexual dimorphism and the morphological adaptations assigned to symbiotic life style, body features, relative growth, maturity and sexual dimorphism were studied. Adults of A. aidae have the carapace width on average 2.4 times the carapace length. Relative growth revealed that morphological changes are related to sexual maturity of this species. In Chapter III, the goal was to know the reproductive strategy related to production of eggs, to determine the fecundity of ovigerous females of different sizes and different periods, conditions of the development of eggs, and their parameters (diameter and volume). A. aidae presented patterns of reproductive strategy similar to other Decapoda crustaceans, with evidence of reproductive efficiency where this population is established. Due to a lack of population and reproductive studies for this species, this study aimed to supply this demand in the scientific literature.

Entretanto, para que os ecossistemas sejam preservados, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de estratégias de sensibilização dos indivíduos, já que é a ação antrópica que origina seus principais impactos. Desta forma, este trabalho tem por objetivo relatar uma proposta prática de conservação da biodiversidade através da educação ambiental que utiliza animais silvestres taxidermizados, realizada na Escola Educacional Técnica – EDUTEC/SATC, em Criciúma, sul de Santa Catarina. Esta ideia foi iniciada por intermédio da oferta de uma oficina científica que desenvolve a técnica de taxidermia (manutenção da epiderme de vertebrados de acordo com as etapas: coleta, limpeza, retirada das vísceras, tratamento químico com bórax/alúmen e/ou formol, secagem e finalização artística) e que utiliza seu acervo em exposições monitoradas, oportunizando conhecimentos ecológicos referentes aos exemplares associados com elementos socioeconômicos e político-culturais. Neste sentido, a oficina de taxidermia confeccionou 34 espécimes de 26 espécies, que foram expostos em 08 eventos e obtendo 11 trabalhos publicados. Contudo, a oficina de taxidermia concretizou relevante coleção zoológica, que possibilitou a construção e a disseminação de saberes e práticas em prol da conservação da biodiversidade e da sustentabilidade. / The environment issue is one of the most important matters nowadays, and the conservation of the biodiversity is totally in consonance with this reality. However, for the ecosystems to be preserved it is necessary to develop strategies that sensitize individuals as it is the anthropic action that causes the main impacts. Thus, this work has the aim to propose a biodiversity conservation practice through environmental education that uses wild animals that have been through taxidermy process which is performed at “Escola Educacional Técnica” – EDUTEC/SATC, in Criciúma, South of Santa Catarina. This idea started through the scientific workshop that develops the taxidermy technique (the skin maintenance of vertebrate animals according to the following steps: collecting, cleaning, removing the entrails, chemical treatment with borax/alum and/or formaldehyde, dryness and final embellishment). They use the collection in monitored exhibitions and provide ecological knowledge of the samples associated with socio-economic and politic-cultural elements. Therefore, the taxidermy workshop has made 34 samples from 26 specimen, that were exposed in 08 events and getting 11 publications. However, the taxidermy workshop made a relevant zoological collection that has provided the construction and the expansion of knowledge and practices because of the need to preserve the biodiversity and for the sustainability.
