Diagnóstico geoambiental e avaliação de risco à saúde humana para uma área industrial contaminada por hidrocarbonetos localizada no município de Paulínia (SP)

This paper deals with a case study of assessing risk to human health, with the study area of an industrial site in the city of Paulinia (SP) contaminated by oil, which is disturbing situation that occurs in the state of Sao Paulo, which represents risks for human health, as toxic and carcinogenic potential of petroleum products. As an essential foundation for risk assessment, a Geo-environmental diagnosis of the region was made, posing as historical information of the area and accidents, regional geology and hydrogeology, characterization of contaminants and affected media, contaminant transport and data on potential receptors and pathways. Because of the detection of contaminants above the intervention values CETESB (2005) it was possible to proceeded to quantify risks to human health and the determination of maximum acceptable concentrations for no damage to health, using the methodology and software RBCA Tier 2 (ASTM , 1998) and Spreadsheet Risk Assessment recently published by CETESB. The results showed the risk to the health of industrial workers and regular employees of civil works (both on site) for ingestion of groundwater and inhalation of vapors indoors.

Imagem corporal de adultos jovens e adultos idosos praticantes de dança

Introdução: Até o presente momento, nenhum estudo analisou a relação entre imagem corporal (IC) e dança em adultos jovens e adultos idosos. Dados dessa natureza podem auxiliar no entendimento da influência da dança na imagem corporal, bem como evidenciar seus benefícios em diferentes populações. Objetivo: Investigar a IC de adultos jovens e adultos idosos praticantes de dança. Método: Participaram deste estudo 10 adultos jovens e 10 adultos idosos do gênero feminino praticantes regulares de diversas modalidades de dança que responderam, voluntariamente, à versão brasileira do Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) adaptado pela autora para a dança e à Escala de Silhuetas para Adultos (ES) e foram questionados sobre seu peso e estatura para cálculo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). O grupo controle foi composto por 10 adultas jovens e 10 idosas fisicamente ativas que responderam à versão brasileira do BSQ (sem adaptação) e à Escala de Silhuetas e também foram questionados sobre seu peso e estatura. Na análise estatística final, para a comparação entre os grupos foi utilizado o Mann-Whitney Test. Resultados: No instrumento BSQ, para as variáveis idade e dança, o Mann- Whitney Test não apontou diferença significativa (p≤0,05). No instrumento ES, para as variáveis idade e dança, o Mann-Whitney Test também não apontou diferença significativa (p≤0,05). Conclusão: Tanto a atividade física quanto a dança apresentaram ser um bom instrumento para melhora da IC. Entretanto, considera-se de extrema relevância a realização de mais pesquisas nesta área. Uma amostra maior também poderia confirmar os dados já encontrados neste estudo e na literatura, em termos de significância estatística

A empatia, a sensibilização e a formação de professores do ensino público para uma inclusão efetiva de alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais

Special education and inclusion of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in regular classrooms of public schools has being widely discussed in academic and political areas. From Salamanca Declaration signed in 1994, which established that the education of people with special needs should be guaranteed by public system, being offered within regular classrooms said. Along the inclusion process, has been observed an increasingly difficult for teachers to work with these special students. This difficulty comes from an incomplete or inadequate formation, resulting in an education that is not always inclusive. The present work aims to investigate what are the motivational factors that lead teachers, working in public schools, to seek continuing courses of formation in specialized educational services, and what are the possible impediments that eschew them from seeking such courses. Data were collected through questionnaires given to elementary school teachers, from public schools in the city of Rio Claro- SP. With their answer, it could be identified what are the motivational factors of the quest for continuing formation, as well as facts that obstruct this specialization. It could be observed that there is a need for constant training of the education professionals, for them to be able to appropriate of the inclusion as a pedagogical approach, not just a law and far from reality

Análise das ocorrências de escorregamento por meio de imagens Geoeye em trecho da faixa de dutos Rio de Janeiro - Belo Horizonte

The analysis of natural processes, such as landslides, has a great importance for the prevention of accidents in pipelines, since it might compromise its security, with serious social and environmental implications. Considering the large territorial dimensions that pipelines can reach, remote sensing tools have great applicability for data acquisition, allowing the analysis of large areas in regular time periods. This study aims to analyze the relations between the occurrence of landslides and its natural conditionings, on a stretch of the ORBEL pipeline, in the municipalities of Duque de Caxias, Nova Iguaçu and Belford Roxo – Rio de Janeiro. GeoEye sensor system images were used with spatial resolution of 0.5 m, from November/2009, January/2010 and March/2010, that are months of summer rains. The work involved the characterization of the study area and existing landslides, through bibliographic data collection; the application of visual analysis techniques for the extraction of landslide scars and fractures; preparation of maps for the landslide constraints and preparation of the susceptibility map. In the images from November only three landslide scars were extracted, while in January there were 166 and 111 in March. Difficulties were found with the shading in the images. From the relations among landslide scars, lithological units, relief systems, slope, downhill profile and the generated map of landslide susceptibility, presented in 1:70,000 scale, it was possible to conclude that slope is the main determinant of the process, allied secondarily to downhill profile, relief systems and lithology

As técnicas de agricultura tradicional em combinação com propostas e práticas de sistemas agroflorestais: consensos possíveis ao desenvolvimento sustentável da Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Quilombos de Barra do Turvo, Vale do Ribeira (SP)

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar questões sociais e econômicas do cotidiano de quatro comunidades quilombola (Cedro, Pedra Preta, Ribeirão Grande e Terra Seca) residentes da Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Quilombos de Barra do Turvo (Vale do Ribeira/SP), e levantar o debate acerca da questão da luta pelo reconhecimento da posse da terra frente à saída dos mais jovens da comunidade para as grandes cidades. Através dos dados coletados por meio de levantamento bibliográfico a respeito do tema e entrevistas semiestruturadas com representantes das famílias das quatro comunidades, foi possível discorrer a respeito da problemática da saída dos jovens, que afeta diretamente o futuro dessas comunidades tradicionais, bem como a sugestão de alternativas que visando geração de renda para essas famílias e a inserção e o futuro estabelecimento desses jovens no cotidiano das comunidades. Os resultados deste trabalho mostram que esses quilombolas, bem como seus antepassados, formam comunidades essencialmente rurais e agrícolas, com dinâmica fortemente ligada ao meio natural circundante. Quanto às suas práticas agrícolas, as famílias se dividem em dois grupos: os praticantes da agricultura tradicional, também chamada de “coivara”, e a agroecologia, com Sistemas Agroflorestais bem estabelecidos, onde os agricultores são organizados através de uma cooperativa agroflorestal. Essa divisão agrícola, como mostrado na pesquisa, tem reflexo direto na organização social e econômica das comunidades, bem como no processo de preservação do patrimônio cultural desses grupos. A pesquisa apontou ainda para um grande êxodo dos indivíduos mais jovens das quatro comunidades rumo aos grandes centros urbanos, pela falta de interesse destes na cultural local, ou pela busca por empregos regulares, levantando o questionamento sobre a preservação da cultura e do território quilombola de Barra do Turvo

Aulas eventuais de geografia: seus professores, desafios e possibilidades

Os “professores eventuais” são figuras conhecidas dos alunos do sistema de ensino público do Estado de São Paulo devido à freqüência com que aparecem nas salas de aula. As aulas eventuais são atribuídas a professores chamados a substituírem os regulares, ou titulares de turmas, nas escolas públicas estaduais do Estado de São Paulo. Tais aulas aparecem como uma incógnita para os profissionais que são colocados a enfrentar uma situação nova, dar aulas em tempos fragmentados, desconhecendo o desenvolvimento das atividades do professor titular, o conteúdo em andamento e as práticas comumente adotadas. Estes são profissionais, licenciados ou estudantes de graduação, que substituem os professores titulares da sala quando da ausência destes por um período inferior a quinze dias, trabalham geralmente em situação precária, seja no que diz respeito à legislação, aos horários, aos conteúdos, ou mesmo em relação a outros membros da comunidade escolar. Além disso, tomando como base os relatos presentes na bibliografia, nos depoimentos colhidos pela pesquisa e nossa experiência pessoal, percebemos que tal situação vem sendo ignorada nos meios acadêmicos e políticos, tornando-se uma chaga oculta na já defasada educação pública paulista. O presente Trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as aulas eventuais e professores e estudantes que atuam nas aulas da área de Geografia,com vistas a compreender a forma pela qual são oferecidas tais aulas e as conseqüências que podem ter na formação destes profissionais. Assim, propomos registrar os questionamentos dos profissionais que possuem algumas experiências com esta modalidade de aula. Ao fazermos isso, buscamos discutir o tema com o intuito de tornar tais experiências mais positivas uma vez que temos um levantamento preliminar com uma série de relatos extremamente contundentes envolvendo as aulas eventuais

Indicadores Antropométricos do Estado Nutricional de Idosas Praticantes e Não Praticantes de Exercício Fisíco na Zona Norte de São José do Rio Preto-SP

Although the regular practice of physical exercise for the maintenance of the nutritional state and quality of life is important, it is not a common habit among the elderly, especially those of the lower income social bracket. The objective was to characterize and compare according to social-economic conditions and anthropometric indexes of the nutritional state of the elderly who regularly practice and those who do not practice exercises, offered at no cost, in the Northern zone of São José do Rio Preto-SP. In this study, 110 elderly women participated, of which 60 (group P) exercised regularly and 50 did not (group NP). Group P participated in a special gym program, free of charge, for at least 2 years, 2 to 3 times a week, one hour a day. Group NP was recruited from the same location as Group P. The comparison between the groups of elderly women was proportionately distributed according to marital status, level of education, means of locomotion, results of body mass index (IMC), waist to hip ratio (RCQ) and calf circumference, using the chi-square test. Comparisons were also made of average age, per capita family income, individual income, IMC, arm and triceps skin fold measured by t-Test. Differences were not found in all the comparisons made. The variables that stood out were the IMC (overweight) and RCQ (risk of chronic diseases) results, which were above what was expected, and the high frequency of walking and riding buses for both groups of elderly women (about 60%). We came to the conclusion that the low-intensity exercise program evaluated made no difference in the nutritional profile of the elderly who also used walking as a means of getting around.

Construções euclidianas e o desfecho de problemas famosos da geometria

Construction techniques with ruler and the compasses, fundamental on Euclidean geometry, have been related to modern algebraic theories such as solving equations and extension of bodies from the works by Paolo Ruffini (1765-1822), Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829) and Evariste Galois (1811-1832). This relation could provide an answer to some famous problems, from ancient Greece, such as doubling the cube, the trisection Angle, the Quadrature of the Circle and the construction of regular polygons, which remained unsolved for over two thousand years. Also important for our purposes are the notions of algebraic numbers, transcendental and the criteria for constructability, of those numbers. The objective of this study is to reconstruct relevant steps of geometric constructions with ruler (unmarked) and the compasses, from the elementary to the outcome buildings, in the nineteenth century, considering those mentioned problems.

Algumas considerações sobre a poesia de Eucanaã Ferraz

The contemporary Brazilian poetic production is marked by a strong diversity in the forms of expression and the thematic contents that it makes circulate; it is found either turned to the critical reading of the Brazilian poetry‟s most traditional repertoire, or more concerned about the research of new expressive models afforded by language. Such constitutive diversity, which operates on the intermediate gradients between these two tendencies, finds itself underlined by the little orthodox practice of the production divulgation and circulation, that appropriated the internet and the poetic performances to compensate the low paper-based edition. What we have is a type of poetic dialectology which identifies the poetry readers group. Verifying the most regular procedures in the construction of the dialectology, through the work of Eucanaã Ferraz and João Cabral, is the objective of this paper.

Análise e reflexão sobre a educação especial inclusiva em Maringá/BR e em Guadalajara /ES

The purpose of this study is to know the route of Special Education in different contexts, the city of Maringa/Brazil and Guadalajara/Spain and analyze the bases underlying the organization, structure and operation of this mode of education having as starting point the process inclusive school. This investigation is based on the theoretical and methodological principles of the historical-cultural notion by Vygotsky. He argues that the existence of fundamental principles underlying the development of children with disabilities. If, on the one hand, the disability imposes limitations on the individual, hindering its development, on the other, just by causing difficulties, enables the movement to compensate, increasing the development of other capabilities. The deficit itself is less. Therefore, it is a field research carried out by means of observations, literature search and document analysis in early childhood education institutions visited in the cities mentioned above. The results showed that there are peculiarities of its path, organization and functioning of Special Education in each of the contexts analyzed. Referentemente the inclusive education movement, it is clear that Spain is a precursor of this process therefore has the right conditions in different ways to conduct the service children with special needs, and on the other hand, schools have the resources and specialized materials they need. While in Brazil the operationalization of these measures occurs more slowly. Thus, we can say that this process of inclusive education does not happen in a linear fashion within mainstream schools and so little action in the different forms of special education in two contexts analyzed.

Sexualidade e orientação sexual na escola em foco: algumas reflexões sobre a formação de professores

This article discusses the training of teachers to work with sexuality issues in regular school environment after the creation of the National Curriculum (PCNs) in 1997. The authors note that over a decade there have been no official regular and systematic initiatives or incentives to provide teachers with sex education disciplines at undergraduate level in Pedagogy, Teachers’ Training, Continuing Education or Initial Training courses, with rare exceptions. Generally the work with sexuality and sex education carry with it some coadjutors such as ignorance, prejudice, taboo and discrimination. In this way, if teachers are prepared to approach the field, they will experience a significant gain in performance and in the psycho-social development of their students, as well as work in a process of citizenship education.
