Pesquisas no semiárido piauiense. Vol. 7

Abstract

This work “Research in the Semi-Arid Region of Piauí, Volume 7” is a set of works developed by researchers from various higher education institutions in the state of Piauí. It brings together unpublished research in a multidisciplinary format. It aims to disseminate research developed by professors, researchers and students in the semi-arid region of the state of Piauí. It brings and leverages economic and social development to this important region, which is greatly lacking in research and development in the most diverse areas. In this way, it expands scientific knowledge and dissemination, helping the population to acquire knowledge and increasingly value the potential that the region offers in various areas of knowledge, such as: Biological Sciences, Basic Education, Physical Education and Agricultural Engineering. This means that the knowledge acquired through a wide range of research projects goes beyond academic barriers and reaches the most diverse social structures that directly or indirectly need this knowledge, whether in schools, academies or among farmers in the field, benefiting everyone and increasing and/or contributing to their income. Since the first volume, the multidisciplinary vision of this work has demonstrated in part the presence and significant performance of researchers in the most diverse regions, who aim to change the reality of the state where their research and activities are located. The constant research activity in the country has been suffering from several shortcomings in order to continue, and this is intensified in the state of Piauí, where the realization of a work like this and many others becomes very difficult. However, the pleasure in carrying out research and the various sectors lacking and lacking information in the state, together with the researchers and students eager for this development, far overcome this challenge. In this way, everyone wins with this work: institutions where professionals work, students who can apply academic knowledge in practice and, last but not least, the people of Piauí who tend to enrich themselves with this information every day and stand out on the national and international scene. Why not?
