Abstract Anemia due to iron deficiency is the most common in the world being characterized as a significant public health issue. Therefore, its prevention and treatment are considered important before it becomes either chronic or grievous; the interventions with superior potential are the medical supplementation with iron salts as well as food mineral enhancement. The objectives of this study were to develop fermented dairy beverages supplemented with iron and added by Cerrado fruit pulps: cagaita (Eugenia dysenterica ), coquinho-azedo (Butia capitata), tamarindo (Tamarindus indica), and umbu ( Spondias tuberosa). In addition, the research intended to evaluate the acceptance of these beverages by children and adolescents from public schools in the city of Montes Claros (MG). The methodology consisted in the production of dairy beverages followed by the evaluation of their quality through physicochemical and microbiological analyses. Posteriorly, children and adolescents assessed the sensorial acceptance. The analyses performed presented satisfactory results for physicochemical and microbiological properties regarding the acceptance of the product. The cagaita and coquinho azedo based dairy beverages were the most accepted whether compared with tamarindo and umbu beverages. The fermented dairy beverage supplemented with iron and added by Cerrado fruits come up as a feasible alternative for dietary supplementation, and can promote beneficial effects in human health due to their sensorial acceptance.

A temática da conjugalidade homossexual e da luta por direitos sexuais e reprodutivos divide o movimento homossexual e é instigante compreender as concepções que dão suporte às inflamadas defesas e posições contrárias ao "casamento gay " e/ou a luta por direitos sexuais e reprodutivos. O objetivo deste texto é entender como a conjugalidade e a parentalidade aparecem. Para tanto, um cuidadoso trabalho de pesquisa foi desenvolvido entre grupos homossexuais que demonstraram o conflito que ainda permeia esses assuntos polêmicos. Entre muitas outras coisas, observou-se que a parceria civil, embora não seja consenso sequer dentro do movimento, é vista como um tema aglutinador e que o lado obscuro da luta homossexual permanece ligado à violência e a homofobia, ainda presentes de forma marcante no Brasil.

Homosexual conjugality and the struggle for sexual and reproductive rights divides the homosexual movement and is quite a challenge to understand the conceptions that support the passionate defenses and the opposite positions to the 'gay marriage' and/or the sexual and reproductive rights. The purpose of the present paper is to understand how conjugality and parenthood are represented and accepted (or not). Careful research has been conducted among homosexual groups, showing that they bear conflicting views over such polemic issues. Among many other findings, it has been seen that one of the issues agreed by most of the researched people is the civil partnership and that the dark side of the homosexual struggle is against the violence and homophobia, still strongly pronounced in Brazil.
