Catastrophe in Nepal originated from glacier collapse aggravated by global warming

TVI Notícias28 August 2026 at 21:30

Nepal was hit by a catastrophe that originated from the collapse of a glacier. Scientists identified global warming as one of the factors that aggravated the risk of this natural disaster.

Experts point out that glacial melting, accelerated by climate change, was at the origin of the phenomenon that devastated the region. The collapse of the glacier triggered a chain of catastrophic events.

Scientists also warn that extreme phenomena related to glacier collapse may become more frequent in the future, as global warming continues to progress. This situation raises concerns about the vulnerability of mountainous regions worldwide.

Ultraprocessed foods should not have a place in schools and hospitals

Medical doctor Rafael Pelosi argues that ultraprocessed foods should not have a place in schools and hospitals, environments that should promote health. He argues it is incoherent to encourage healthy habits among children while products like sodas, chips, filled cookies, processed meats, and instant noodles remain available in school cafeterias and hospital meals. According to Pelosi, the discussion goes beyond individual choices, involving the institutional responsibility of these spaces in shaping eating habits.

Science and field performance: Maxx Athlete Dogs Project

The Maxx Atleta Dogs project, developed in partnership with UFRR, the Roraima Penal Police Kennel, and LABEAVET, investigates the effects of supplementation with spirulina, creatine, and maltodextrin (provided as functional gummies) on the physical performance, metabolism, and behavior of police dogs. During the tests, the animals are subjected to exercises that simulate their actual service activities, with rigorous monitoring of physiological parameters such as heart rate, body temperature, blood lactate, and post-exercise behavior. The study represents a rare initiative in Brazil and worldwide, being one of the few studies with working dogs subjected to functional nutritional protocols and complete physiological assessments.
