Título: Ocorrência e caracterização dos habitats de Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) e Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) nos períodos seco e chuvoso, no povoado Barriguda, zona rural do município de Caxias, Maranhão Abstact: Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894) are vectors of important arboviruses such as dengue fever, Zika fever and chikungunya fever,which cause serious public health problems worldwide. The aim was to verify the occurrence, characteristics and habitat location of A. aegypti and A. albopictus in residential and wild areas in dry and wet seasons in the village of Barriguda, rural area of Caxias, Maranhão. The collection of juveniles and alates was carried out in 20 residences, ten of them on the sides of MA 034 and ten residences closest to areas with denser vegetation in the dry season (September to December 2022) and in the wet season (January to April 2023). A total of 677 specimens of A. aegypti and A. albopictus larvae and pupae were collected, with the highest frequency in December(297; 43.9%)followedby February (156; 23%). A. aegypti scored higher positivity with 537 compared to A. albopictus; 79.3%. Thirteen positive containers were found with immature A. aegypti and A. albopictus, with the highest positivity in the water storage group at 71.4% in the dry season and 50% in the wet season, with the frequency in buckets (75%) being higher. Juveniles in plasticbuckets (46.1%) and rubber tires (38.5%) predominated, most of them in the shade (61.5%) and with organic material (leaf debris and moss) (92.3%). Ten winged specimens were collected, eight A. aegypti and two A. albopctus, five were found in space, and seven specimens were collected with a height of 0–50 cm. This study made it possible to obtain data on the behavior of the vectors A. aegypti and A. albopictus, which can help fight these vectors and thus reduce the spread of arboviruses, including dengue fever

Título: Diversidade e distribuição das espécies de Ranatra Fabricius, 1790 (Hemiptera: heteroptera: nepidae) do estado do Maranhão, Brasil Abstact: Representatives of Ranatra Fabricius (Nepidae) are predatory water insects and are popularly called water scorpions because they have a breathing siphon at the rear end of their abdomen (seventh abdominal section). These insects live on vegetation, particularly associated with aquatic macrophytes and submerged roots on the banks of Lentic and Lotic waters. Ranatra includes about 120 species distributed worldwide, 35 of which are known from Brazil. However, there are no records for Maranhão or for the NE region as a whole, indicating a gap in the taxonomic and distributional knowledge of this group in the region. The aim of this work was therefore to know the diversity of Ranatra species present in Maranhão, to map the points of their distribution and to establish an identification key for the species from Maranhão. The samples were collected using a D (Rapiché) aquatic entomological network with a mesh size of 1 mm and by active searching day and night in different substrate types near the banks of water bodies. The collected samples were fixed in 80% alcohol and stored at the Aquatic Entomology Laboratory (LEAq) at UEMA, Campus Caxias. One specimen of each species was photographed and the diagnostic characters are presented for comparison. Distribution maps have been produced showing historical and new distribution records for each species. The male of R. mixta has been described and illustrated and a key to identifying the species present in the state has been established. A total of 138 specimens were identified, 73 males and 65 females distributed across eight species: Ranatra costalimai, R. doesburgi, R. macrophthalma, R. mediana, R. mixta, R. parvula, R. rabida and R. sarmentoi all set new records for Maranhão and the last new record for Brazil and distribution gaps across the genus can be closed, thus contributing to future work related to the group.

Título: Odiníideos (diptera, odiniidae) da floresta nacional de Palmares Altos, Piuaí, Brasil Abstact: Odiniidae is a family of flies characterized by the presence of strong bristles, primarily on the head and thorax, occurring in all zoogeographic regions, including Australia. The family is small, currently composed of 81 valid species distributed among 18 genera and two subfamilies, Odiniinae and Traginopinae. The general objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the odiniid fauna in Palmares National Forest (FLONA de Palmares). A total of 224 specimens were collected and analyzed, representing seven species and seven genera, four of which are newly discovered in the field of science: Odinia surumuana Prado, Helgreelia sp. nov, Schildomyia reticulata Prado, Gen. nov, sp. nov. A; Gen. nov, sp. nov. B; Gen. nov, sp. nov. C; and Gen. nov, sp. nov. D. The species documented in this study represent new records for the study area and for the state of Piauí

Título: Análise da aplicabilidade de implantação do serviço de soldados militares temporários no corpo de Bombeiros Militar do Maranhão Abstact: The Military Fire Department of the State of Maranhão - CBMMA has an important responsibility to protect the life and property of Maranhão society. Such a mission depends on the institution having the necessary equipment and personnel. Taking into account the current reality of the CBMMA, where the number of staff meets the needs of the population, there was a need to propose a plan that analyzes the applicability of implementing the service of temporary military soldiers in the MARANHÃO MILITARY FIRE DEPARTMENT. Study a proposal on the incorporation of military firefighters on a temporary basis, taking into account the existing demands in the State of Maranhão. The methodology used was the bibliographical one. It is concluded, then, that taking into account the great demand that the state of Maranhão has in relation to the services that there is a need for CBMMA to act, it is necessary to increase the number of employees of the institution
