Abstract: active sessions on post mortem examination and cytology. The latter sessions were led by June Williams, a pathologist from the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria. The veterinary theme closed with presentations on biosecurity and primary healthcare as well as some pointers on chemical capture. The Workshop included a technical training component facilitated by Chenay Simms of the South African National Parks Scientific Services, comprising a day of hands-on exercises, regional case studies, and equipment assessments relating to the selection and application of electronic data capture, including smart-phone apps, global positioning systems, remote sensing and drones.

Abstract: As a reflection of the Industrial Revolution and the various natural disasters arising from the irrational and irresponsible economic growth of the planet, undoubtedly, the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm Conference),
held in 1972, in Sweden, stands for an important milestone in Environmental Law, especially to Western civilization, as it establishes the principles discussed even up to this day between the countries involved in it. From that conference, man began to
worry about his attitude towards nature and started to rethink his ways so that he becomes aware that natural resources are finite and that we need to preserve them for present and future generations, under the threat of the extinction of human race.
Therefore, various conferences, treaties and protocols have emerged in order to find viable solutions that can combine economic growth with sustainable development, or at least to a degree try to decrease negative human action on nature. In such context, the aim of this paper is to show that human focus has shifted from economic growth to economic development. Thus, population growth must consider economic, environmental and - most importantly - social aspects, especially when it comes to the mining activity, since several laws and other legal instruments have been and are
still being created in order to reach out for the desired sustainable economic development in this sector of the Brazilian economy.

Abstract: Objective: The primary aims of this study were to validate neurology resident assessment content using observable practice activities (OPAs) and to develop assessment formats easily translated to the neurology Milestones. Background: Beginning in 2014 US neurology residency programs are required to report each trainee's educational progression within 29 neurology Milestone competency domains. Trainee assessment systems will need to be adapted to inform these requirements. Design/Methods: A modified Delphi technique was used to establish consensus perceptions of importance of 73 neurology OPAs among neurology educators and trainees at three neurology residency programs. A content validity score (CVS) was derived for each neurology OPA, with scores 蠅 4.0 determined in advance to indicate sufficient content validity. Results: The mean CVS for all OPAs was 4.4 (range 3.5-5.0). Fifty-seven (78[percnt]) OPAs had a CVS 蠅 4.0, leaving 16 (22[percnt]) below the pre-established threshold for content validity. Trainees assigned a higher importance to individual OPAs (mean CVS 4.6) compared to faculty (mean 4.4, P=0.016), but the effect size was small (η2=0.10). There was no demonstrated effect of length of education experience on perceived importance of neurology OPAs (P=0.23). Two sample resident assessment formats were developed, one using neurology OPAs alone and another using a combination of neurology OPAs and the neurology Milestones. Conclusions: This study provides neurology training programs with content validity evidence for items to include in resident assessments, and sample assessment formats that directly translate to the neurology Milestones. Length of education experience has little effect on perceptions of neurology OPA importance.
