Geologia e paleontologia de dep��sitos fossil��feros pleistoc��nicos do Rio Grande do Norte

This study deals with origin, sedimentary filling and fossil content of three tanks situated at Ant��nio Martins, Barcelona, Rui Barbosa, and Apodi counties, Rio Grande do Norte State. In addition, fossil materials from the C��mara Cascudo Museum - UFRN - Funda����o Amigos do Lajedo Soledade - FALS, and from private ownership were investigated. The following families were identified: Megatberiidae, Gomphotheriidae, Mylodontidae, Equidae, Felidae, Canidae, Hydrochoeridae, Camelidae, Cervidae, Dasypodidae, Glyptodontidae, Macraucheniidae, Toxodontidae, and an undetermined Edentata Pilosa. The megafauna analysis indicated that herbivorc families occur mainly in tanks, whereas carnivore families occur in a vast proportion in an investigated ravine. Taphonomie analyses were limited to physical features because the vast majority of fossils were previously colleted without appropriate care for this kind of study. The main fossization processes were identified during diagenetie investigation. Permineralization is the most important process and replacement is the secondary one during fossilization. The study concluded that paleoenvironmental conditions during the late Pleistocene were more humid than the current one. Tropical savana, characterized by fields and cerrados , was the dominant vegetation

Experimento de fluxo de sedimentos em um segmento de campo de dunas e��licas costeiras de Jenipabu - Litoral oriental do Rio Grande do Norte.

This study analyzed measurements of the aeolian transport using vertical sand traps across the field dunes of Jenipabu, in the municipality of Extremoz, Rio Grande do Norte state to the North of Natal city. These measurements were used as parameters for the sand aeolian transport in the region. Before the field trips a map of landscape units was made. Three visits to the field were done in September 2011 (field a - the 13th, field b - the 21st, field c - the 29th), period of the year with the highest wind speed, and another in December 8th, 2011 (field d ) when the wind speed starts to decrease. The sand traps used were of the type "I" with collecting opening of 25 cm from the surface level, and type "S" with collecting opening of 25 cm located 25 cm from the surface level in six collecting points in two of the visits (fields a and d ), and sand traps of the type "T" with the collecting opening of 50 cm from the surface level in the other field trips (fields "b" and "c"). A set of records was also collected by using a portable meteorological station complemented with information such as frequency and intensity of winds, precipitation and relative air humidity in the region, from the Esta����o Meteorol��gica de Natal , located 12 km from the study area. The sediments collected were treated and the data obtained permitted calculating the ratio of sediment transport. In September, the sedimentation ratio varied from 0.01 to 11.39 kg.m-1.h-1 and in December this ratio varied from 0.33 to 1.30 kg.m-1.h-1 in the type T collectors. In type I collectors they ranged from 0.01 to 11.39 kg.m-1.h-1, while the same parameters varied from 0.01 to 0.73 kg.m-1.h-1 in type S collector. Based on the statistical analysis done, we concluded that the sediment transport increased proportionally to the wind speed 25 cm from the surface. However, this is not true above 25 cm from the surface. The transport of sediments is more intense near the surface where sedimentation ratios greater than 10 kg.m-1.h-1 were found, whilst a maximum value of 3 kg.m-1.h-1 was observed 25 cm below the surface. The volume of sediments collected increases with the increasing wind speed at the surface level, whereas this relationship is opposed far away from that surface

Mapa dos programas sociais: transfer��ncia de renda e din��micas sociais no Rio Grande do Norte (2000-2007)

The question of evaluating the fight against poverty in a given society is very complex task, considering the range of factors that permeate, such as education, culture and economy itself. Come hence the relevance of the theme and its constant presence in discussions on the fruits of public policies, institutional structure and economic development which are the guiding elements of this work, and noted that seeks to highlight the social demographics and most important, the most significant trends and issues pertaining to her. The assessment was initially made in all the municipalities of Rio Grande do Norte doing a verticalilza����o to the municipalities Caic��, Pau dos Ferros, Ipueira and Taboleiro Grande. Highlighting the role of a social policy through government programs, such as the Bolsa Familia Program (PBF), which creates the possibility of changes in the socio demographic profile given the importance that the action of this public policy has in shaping the regional economic reality As well as social programs and actions of the government here reported that generate mobility of people and new social demands, such as rural retirements, the benefit of continuing provision (BPC), the Program for the Eradication of Child Labor (PETI) that put on the market of population living on the margins of various forms of consumption. Accordingly, the socio economic profile of the state shows a significant improvement in their social indicators, vital education and redistribution of income, due to the significant improvement in life expectancy in the fall of school drop-out rate and the drop in indicators of Proportion Poor and destitute of the state. Where the fall in the proportion of poor and indigent is strongly associated with an increase in income, from social programs. With this transfer and redistribution of income can be gauged that occurs a strengthening of local economies and an engagement of families with the conditionalities of social programs and PETI Bolsa Familia. Our research concludes that simply raising the rents caused by transfers, presents relevant impacts on the education of young people in beneficiary families. There is no doubt that the programs of transfer income, no facing the social field, representing a mechanism to decrease the most perverse ills of poverty, social and economic inequality that is hungry. For a significant portion of the Brazilian population living below the poverty line, programs for the transfer of income are expressed directly in improving the material conditions of life and indirectly in improving self-esteem of women and all family members receiving encouraging yet the integration family. Experiments have shown that improvements in health and nutrition can be obtained through the implementation of adequate social policies like the programs of transfer income, while social inclusion and economic does not become full

Gerenciamento ambiental das fazendas de camar��o do Rio Grande do Norte

The present disserta����o had as objective to study the ambient management in the Farms Saint Rita, Tahim Agropesca and Agropesca Rigomoleiro, in the Great River of the North. For this we use as theoretical tool some fundantes concepts of geographic science, the space, and as concepts auxiliary of ambient management, of estuaries as the half natural one and of manguezais as ecosystem. The study if it gave taking in consideration a model of flow of activities of a typical farm following the way of the residues produced since the beginning until its final destination, in a suitable script of SCHERER (1999). The considered flow established a sequence activities where it is identified the material of entrance, the process of management, the residues of exit and the destination of the residues to the long one of the phase of culture of the shrimp. From it was there had been elaborated a series of managemental pictures with the data raised in the three farms, of different transports and concludes that the ambient management of these farms does not follow the formal standards of a system of typical ambient management. Collating with the system of considered by norm ISO14000 the study it disclosed that all the companies are in a situation of not conformity and that the impacts on the environment continue being many significant ones. However, it is possible to implant norm ISO14000 because some procedures implanted for the farms are correct of the point of view of the ambient management

O reassentamento dos refugiados colombianos e palestinos no estado do Rio Grande do Norte

Since the second semester of 2004, the first refugees guided by ACNUR arrived at Potiguar s territory. Then we follow closely, with other local actors, the implementation and development of this innovative action, namely the resettlement of those refugees in Rio Grande do Norte. To accomplish this, we consider the concepts of territory, dispossession, repossession and international migration. The state of Rio Grande do Norte is a pioneer in the Northeast, in this type of action, since, before this experience, just Rio Grande do Sul and S��o Paulo were engaged in this kind of action. Therefore, this paper analyzes the process of resettlement of refugees, fulfilled in Rio Grande do Norte, between 2004 and 2005. The research broaches the regards that resulted in departure of these refugees from their respective territories (Colombia and Palestine) as well as the characteristics and prospects of the areas that hosted the refugees (Natal, Lajes e Po��o Branco). Finally, the work deals with the results achieved afield, through interviews and photographic record, near by refugees

A din��mica territorial da Assembl��ia de Deus do serid�� do Rio Grande do Norte

In the norte-rio-grandense backwoods is possible to join to the power forms both political and economical ones, religious groups keeping under your control areas, people and flow of them, as well as settling new places of acts. That control refers to a field of power delimited by space, in other words, it refers to a territory marked and planned to reproductive intentions on the space. In relation to the religious pluralism, the Assembly of God church, in your territorial dynamics, has been standing out by the strategies of delimitation and space increase which by a constant territorial division process (1943-2010) managed to widen material and symbolic scale of its power for all cities of the Rio Grande do Norte backwoods. The Assembly of God church as the greatest Pentecostal denomination of Brazil was formed in the Rio Grande do Norte Serid��, following a ecclesiastical and governmental model divided into three ecclesiastical fields hosted in those following cities: Caic��, Currais Novos and Parelhas. Those headquarters interlink a limited number of churches through normative codes, which they express a functional dimension (bureaucratic) and in another symbolic one (charismatic) in an only field of territorial control. In this manner, the maintenance of the territorial power in the Assembly of God church is done by a charismatic-bureaucratic administration, expressed in the interdependent of material and abstract mechanisms. The believers permanent contact toward those mechanisms of institutional control revealed territorial identities which causes a feeling of property of the believer as much to the Pentecostal belief system as to community of the Assembly of God church. Considering new possibilities of articulation of the Rio Grande do Norte backwoods towards others territories more multiple, culturally, noticed cultural adjustments and revaluation at themselves. In relation to the territory of the Assembly of God church this one has exposed itself defensive faced with that cultural hybridization tendency, resisting a closer dialogue to new symbolic elements, mainly those came from the multifaceted neo-pentecostal movement. Unlike more open and flexible churches towards others significant systems, The Assembly of God church tries to reinforce the boundaries of its territory considering by the orthodoxy of its routine and customs

Uso corporativo do territ��rio e turismo no Rio Grande do Norte

Tourism has in recent years a significant growth in the economy, bringing repercussions on use of the territory. Hence the importance of discussing how the activity has been planned by public authorities and business, important actor in this process. Our objective is to analyze the corporative use of the territory Norte-Rio-Grandense by tourism, based on the renewal of geographical thought in Milton Santos and other authors coherent theory. Although planning is seen as a practice that incorporates various scientifics contributions is undeniable eminently geographical base, as it comes to relationshipsand process in the territory. The project Parque das Dunas/Via Costeira driving the development of tourism in Natal as to its construction, the city had a quality hotel infrastructure capable of receiving a greater number of tourists. One of the guiding instruments of state planning in accordance with the Federal Government is the Planejamento Pluri-Anual - PPA, which has the discourse territory, but establishes sectoral actions, which included tourism with the allocation of resources. In addition to receiving funds Prodetur I and II, since the early 1990s, these resources from the BIRD and other lines of funding available through federal financial institutions. Thus the sectoral action planning is disintegrated, while the territorial planning makes us think the whole moving and complexity Our data policies and public and private investments, we proved that the action of companies in line with the state, favors the hegemonic agents, or the corporative use of the territory Norte-Rio-Grandense

Rio Grande do Norte: intera����es urbanas e os centros de gest��o do territ��rio

The state of Rio Grande do Norte has been undergoing transformations in their territory, they are promoted by the installation of new infrastructure equipment, which in turn cause changes in the dynamic spatial and social hour set, causing new arrangements and new dynamics between cities. The overall goal of the research is to understand, at present, the urban network of the Rio Grande do Norte, from the centers of territory management. The picture presented in the paper reveals a network of cities that has gained a material basis urban, with the installation of new objects macro state structures (roads, ports, wind farms, banks, pipelines, internet access) that enable a relationship more intense between the urban centers of the state and other cities in the world, that the current structure characteristic of the urban network, its global nature, since the possibility of relations between the centers is greater. Such a relationship is indeed possible because the characteristics of the current historical period, with the high density of the tripod technique, science and information controlled by the market. In Rio Grande do Norte intentionality of the new arrangement that is configured is not other but meet market demands

A regionaliza����o da sa��de no Rio Grande do Norte: Elementos para a compreens��o da din��mica dos lugares

Coordena����o de Aperfei��oamento de Pessoal de N��vel Superior

O circuito espacial produtivo e os c��rculos de coopera����o da carcinicultura do Rio Grande do Norte

Suponiendo que la din��mica territorial del per��odo hist��rico actual se caracteriza por la nueva divisi��n territorial del trabajo, por la especializaci��n regional productiva y por la racionalidad que preside el movimiento de las mercanc��as y de la informaci��n, la teor��a de los circuitos espaciales de producci��n se convierte fundamental para la comprensi��n de la organizaci��n, regulaci��n y del uso de territorios por las actividades productivas. As��, teniendo en cuenta este supuesto y aplicando esta teor��a para analizar el ��rea de la producci��n de camar��n en el estado de Rio Grande do Norte, se llega a comprender la din��mica del territorio Potiguar. Por lo tanto, en nuestro trabajo pretendemos entender el movimiento, la secuencia de los casos que geogr��ficos que separan la producci��n, distribuci��n, intercambio y consumo de camar��n Potiguar, en este momento, sobre todo a partir de la d��cada de 1990, sucede la expansi��n del cultivo de camar��n en la costa norte Riograndense. La investigaci��n ha demostrado que a pesar de la presencia de un gran n��mero de agentes en la actividad, hay un control y una concentraci��n del circuito en las manos de grandes empresas. Este control se pasa por el reducido n��mero de agentes de venta de larvas, alimentaci��n, maquinaria e insumos. Y con respecto a la concentraci��n, esto ocurre sobre todo en la etapa de producci��n en las haciendas de engorde. En este caso, podemos decir que hay un predominio de los peque��os productores en n��meros absolutos en el cultivo de camar��n potiguar, ya que gran parte de los emprendimientos tienen dimensiones inferiores a 10 ha. Sin embargo, cuando analizamos las empresas de gran escala, ��stos, a pesar de representar un porcentaje menor del total, concentran casi la mitad de las ��reas cultivadas, adem��s de tener en el control de gran parte del movimiento establecido por el circuito espacial productivo de la producci��n de camar��n. As��, aparecen en el circuito espacial productivo de la producci��n de camar��n de Rio Grande do Norte, las diferencias cualitativas de los usos del territorio entre los agentes que participan de este circuito. Porque un n��mero limitado de agentes tienen las mayores ��reas productivas, son dotados de un mayor nivel de tecnificaci��n y tienen, hasta cierto punto, el control del movimiento de su producto, mientras que, eso no se reproducen por otros agentes, especialmente aquellos dedicados a la producci��n, efectiva, en las haciendas de engorde

O uso do territ��rio pela fruticultura irrigada no Rio Grande do Norte: uma an��lise a partir do circuito espacial produtivo do mel��o (cucumis melo l.)

In recent decades the production of irrigated fruits destined to supply the foreign market reveals itself as an expression of the thriving agricultural modernization, consisting an important and dynamic segment of Brazilian agribusiness, especially in the Northeast. The Rio Grande do Norte contributes to this scenario through the production of several tropical fruit, especially melon production in the municipalities of Bara��na/RN and Mossor��/ RN. Accordingly, the overall goal of the study is to understand the agricultural use of the territory of Rio Grande do Norte by irrigated orcharding from the circuit productive space configuration of melon. The outlook presented in the work on the irrigated agriculture developed in Rio Grande do Norte reveals that it falls within an agricultural division of labor, through productive specialization of places that have natural and technical conditions favorable to the exploitation and reproduction of capitals. The land use caused by circuit productive space melon enables flows of tangible and intangible consolidate a extraverted network of production and consumption in order to meet the requirements of foreign markets

Aten����o �� crian��a no per��odo neonatal: chamada neonatal, Rio Grande do Norte, 2010

The neonatal period, which includes the first 27 da ys postpartum, is a vulnerability phase in child health, making it necessary for a greater mon itoring by health professional through actions that add value to the binomial mother/child and comprehensive care to the newborn. To this end, this study aimed to evaluate the care actions the neonato from the strategies recommended by the Ministry of Health. This is a cr oss-sectional study carried out from the database of the national survey of population base entitled "Call Neonatal: evaluation of prenatal care and to children younger than one year old in the North and Northeast regions". It used as the sample unit the mothers and children yo unger than 1-year-old, costal residents of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brazil, who attended th e vaccination campaign on June 12, 2010 in nine municipality���s priority for the Pact to Red uce Infant and Neonatal Mortality. To compose the study variables were selected issues/ac tions regarding the neonatal period and socio-demographic factors, followed by a descriptiv e and inferential analysis. A sample of 837 mother/child pairs was obtained, being 57.6% in capital and 42.4% in the whole from the interiors, which was weighted to represent the muni cipalities of the State. It was predominated by mothers aged between 20-29 years, complete high school, not entitled to income transfer program and male children (51.2%). The frequency of the actions of the hospital ranged from 35% to 96% and those performed at the Basic Health Unit (BHU) from 57% to 91.2%. Most actions had an association with hospitals and publi c nature of the state capital (p<0.05). The results for most of the actions are recommended in the care programs and policies for children, and reveal the regional inequities in hea lth and the need for the involvement of services and professionals in search of comprehensi ve care for enabling better care through humanized practices during this increased vulnerabi lity period.

Avalia����o do pr��-natal na aten����o prim��ria �� sa��de no Rio grande do Norte: vis��o das usu��rias

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the quality of prenatal Primary Care in Rio G rande do Norte, Brazil in 2012 under the program Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care. The study was cross - sectional, quantitative. Included 156 mothers of children under 2 years who received prenatal care at the health evaluated. We applied a ques tionnaire on profile, minimum queries, regularity of attendance, laboratory tests, vaccination, participation in educational activities, guidance received, clinical and obstetric procedures and prescription Ferrous sulphate and folic acid. The descriptive analysis of the criteria used Humanization Program Prenatal and Birth. The results showed that 92% of mothers had six or more visits; 85% with the same care was professional; 94% subsequent appointments scheduled. As for tests and procedures the percentage s were: Urine 98%; HIV - 96%; VDRL and 88%; 91% glucose; tetanus vaccination 93%; educational groups 56% with 36% participation, knowledge of the delivery location and 59% achievement breast exam 65%, 33% and preventive gynecological 43%; 98% supplemented wi th 96% Ferrous Sulfate and Folic Acid. It was concluded that there were advances in Rio Grande do Norte concerning assistance and there are weaknesses in the educational practices and conducting some minimal clinical examinations.

Entomobryoidea e Symphypleona (Collembola, Hexapoda) em remanescentes de Mata Atl��ntica do Estado Do Rio Grande do Norte

Col��mbolos s��o pequenos artr��podes extremamente abundantes na natureza. S��o semelhantes a insetos em seu padr��o de tagmose, ecologicamente muito importantes e podem ser usados como bioindicadores. Mais de 8.300 esp��cies j�� foram descritas no mundo, mas se estima que a riqueza real corresponda a um n��mero muito maior. A Mata Atl��ntica corresponde ao dom��nio fitogeogr��fico mais alterado pela a����o antr��pica no Brasil, restando menos de 8,5% de sua cobertura original. No Rio Grande do Norte a Mata Atl��ntica cobre apenas 0,27% do territ��rio do Estado. Assim, considerando a import��ncia de se conhecer a fauna de Collembola, sobretudo num ambiente amea��ado como a Mata Atl��ntica, este trabalho objetivou estudar a riqueza de col��mbolos Entomobryoidea e Symphypleona ocorrentes em dois remanescentes de Mata Atl��ntica do Rio Grande do Norte atrav��s de coletas ativas com aspirador entomol��gico e passivas com pitfall, durante os per��odos de chuva e seca. Foram identificadas 22 esp��cies de col��mbolos, sendo que destas 19 (mais de 85% do total) s��o novas para a ci��ncia, incluindo um novo g��nero da fam��lia Sminthuridae. As coletas realizadas no per��odo chuvoso apresentaram praticamente o dobro de esp��cies em rela����o ��s realizadas no per��odo seco. Este fato possivelmente est�� associado �� depend��ncia dos col��mbolos de umidade, assim como estrat��gias de resist��ncia a per��odo secos. S��o descritas quatro novas esp��cies, incluindo o novo g��nero (Trogolaphysa sp.nov., Gen.nov. sp.nov., Szeptyckitheca sp.nov. e Sminthurinus sp.nov.). Este expressivo n��mero de esp��cies novas identificadas, os novos registros para o g��neros e fam��lias para a Mata Atl��ntica do Rio Grande do Norte e a descoberta de um novo g��nero corroboram o pressuposto que motivou este trabalho: o Rio Grande do Norte apresenta uma fauna de Collembola desconhecida e potencialmente diversificada. Al��m disso, foram geradas informa����es importantes sobre a morfologia das esp��cies descritas, que por sua vez s��o de grande import��ncia para a sistem��tica dos Collembola. O novo g��nero descrito faz parte de um vis��vel subgrupo dentro da fam��lia Sminthuridae (aqueles com o unguis com cavidade) que aparentemente tem potencial para ser reconhecido futuramente em alguma categoria taxon��mica supragen��rica.

Avalia����o da qualidade da assist��ncia prestada pelo servi��o de atendimento m��vel de urg��ncia do Rio Grande do Norte

O objetivo dessa investiga����o foi avaliar a qualidade da assist��ncia prestada pelo Servi��o de Atendimento M��vel de Urg��ncia do estado do Rio Grande do Norte (SAMU 192 RN), na vis��o dos profissionais de sa��de. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, avaliativo com delineamento longitudinal e abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido em quatro etapas: constru����o de perfil dos atendimentos do SAMU 192 RN; revis��o integrativa para levantamento dos indicadores de avalia����o da qualidade da assist��ncia em servi��os pr��-hospitalares m��veis de urg��ncia; constru����o e valida����o de conte��do do instrumento e defini����o dos indicadores de estrutura e processo; e aplica����o do instrumento aos profissionais de sa��de para avalia����o da qualidade da assist��ncia. A popula����oe amostra foram compostas por todos os profissionais do SAMU 192 RN, atuantes no per��odo do estudo. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre janeiro e dezembro/2012. Participaram do estudo: 11 enfermeiros, 24 m��dicos, 56 t��cnicos de enfermagem e 88 condutores, totalizando 179 profissionais. O estudo foi aprovado (Parecer n�� 437/2010 e CAAE: 0025.0.294.051-10) pelo Comit�� de ��tica em Pesquisa do Hospital Universit��rio Onofre Lopes da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Os dados foram analisados por meio de estat��stica descritiva e inferencial, nesta foram utilizados os programas Microsoft-Excel XP e SPSS 20.0, com uso do ��ndice Kappa (K) e ��ndice de Validade de Conte��do (IVC), considerando K ���0,61 e IVC>0,80. Al��m disso, foi considerando n��vel de signific��ncia estat��stica de ��-valor < 0,05. Entre os 179 profissionais, 100,0% tinham menos de 5 anos de tempo de servi��o, 55,9% tinham menos de 5 anos de experi��ncia na ��rea de urg��ncia, 88,3% referiram trabalhar na institui����o porque gosta, 55,3% possuiam outro v��nculo de trabalho, 54,3% com jornada semanal de 30 a 40 horas, 98,9% participaram de treinamento, 83,2% valorizam o treinamento em servi��o, 87,2% t��m boa frequ��ncia de participa����o no treinamento e 96,6% sentem necessidade de realizar mais treinamentos. Com rela����o �� categoriza����o dos itens em indicadores de estrutura ou de processo, os ju��zes determinaram para estrutura: estado de conserva����o das ambul��ncias; estrutura f��sica geral do servi��o; conforto dentro da ambul��ncia; disponibilidade de recursos materiais; seguran��a para o usu��rio dentro da ambul��ncia; seguran��a para o profissional; educa����o permanente; seguran��a demonstrada pela equipe profissional; remunera����o do profissional e a satisfa����o profissional. E para processo: acesso ao servi��o; acolhimento; humaniza����o; atendimento realizado; tempo resposta; privacidade ao usu��rio; orienta����es sobre o atendimento; relacionamento entre o profissional e usu��rio; oportunidade do usu��rio realizar reclama����es e articula����o multiprofissional. O instrumento quando submetido �� valida����o de conte��do constatou-se que as contribui����es dos ju��zes permitiram melhorar/otimizar o instrumento de avalia����o da qualidade da assist��ncia pr��-hospitalar m��vel de urg��ncia, uma vez que os ��ndices Kappa e IVC foram considerados bons e ��timos e o conte��do foi validado. Na avalia����o da qualidade da assist��ncia, constatou-se que a qualidade da assist��ncia prestada pelo SAMU 192 RN est�� prejudicada nas dimens��es estrutura, com rela����o �� estrutura f��sica, seguran��a dos pontos de apoio descentralizados, o conforto e o estado de conserva����o das ambul��ncias. J�� com rela����o aos indicadores de processo, os profissionais avaliaram todos positivamente. A avalia����o da qualidade da assist��ncia contribui para a busca de solu����es dos problemas detectados, permite novas perspectivas e colabora para a consolida����o do servi��o.
