Recuperação de áreas degradadas por erosão hídrica em propriedades produtoras de café nos municípios de Getulina e Vera Cruz - SP

The Paulista West region has suffered through the decades an intense process of deforestation when substituting native areas of Atlantic rainforest and Cerrado by agricultural cultivation, mainly coffee in the 20th century. This occupation process without planning and management of the soil resulted in serious erosion problems. Besides, the soil erosion promoted the reduction of agricultural production and the silting of rivers. This paper aims identify the factors of natural scope (geological, geomorphologic and pedologic characteristics) which participate in unleash of erosion process in two agricultural properties producers of coffee in order to apply mechanical techniques of recovery in erosive focuses of furrow and ravine kinds. One of the properties is at the city council of Getulina, located on the sandstones of Adamantina Formation; the other is at the city council of Vera Cruz, located on the sandstones of Marília Formation. However, taking into consideration the analysis of the natural dynamics, they are not enough to explain the complexity of the phenomena which are processed in the geographic space. It made indispensable the incorporation of socio-economic factors, such as the use and occupation process of the soil considering the society as landscape transformers. In order to better understand the importance of each one of the elements that contributes to the unleash of the studied erosions, it was collected soil samples in the areas, general descriptions and texture and morphologic analysis. Finally, it was elaborated the maps of the use and occupation of the soil and the vegetal coverage surrounding the properties studied. It was observed in the rural property of Getulina the substitution of the coffee by pasture that finds degraded. It, in addition to the cattle stomp, which changed the texture and density characteristics among the soil horizons, and the concentration of superficial water flow intensified the occurrence of ...

Efeitos ansiogênicos do óxido nítrico no núcleo intersticial da estria terminal de camundongos

Reações de defesa são respostas que os animais exibem diante de ameaças que podem comprometer sua integridade física ou a própria sobrevivência, tais como confrontos com o predador ou com animais da mesma espécie. O medo e a ansiedade são emoções que tem origem nestas reações, as quais envolvem respostas comportamentais e autonômicas e são acompanhadas da liberação de hormônios e neurotransmissores com função de preparar o organismo para responder àquela ameaça, seja fugindo ou enfrentando-a. Em se tratando da espécie humana, estas respostas defensivas eliciadas representariam a ocorrência de transtornos de ansiedade e, a busca por sua compreensão, resultou no desenvolvimento de modelos animais de ansiedade, dentre os quais se destaca o labirinto em cruz elevado (LCE), o qual se baseia na aversão natural de roedores a espaços abertos. Com relação aos substratos neurais envolvidos nestas manifestações, cabe destaque estruturas mesencefálicas, como a matéria cinzenta periaquedutal e núcleos da rafe, bem como prosencefálicas, como o complexo amidalóide e o córtex pré-frontal. O chamado complexo amidalóide ou amídala estendida compreende estruturas límbicas do prosencéfalo basal, incluindo-se o núcleo intersticial da estria terminal (do inglês: bed nucleus of stria terminalis, BNST) como uma área promissora no estudo da ansiedade. Uma variedade de neurotransmissores tem sido descrita como participante da mediação das respostas emocionais no BNST. Dentre eles, o chamado neurotransmissor atípico óxido nítrico (NO) tem sido investigado em diferentes estruturas cerebrais de roedores nas quais foram evidenciadas respostas pró-aversivas

Novas responsabilidades para o professor na educação básica

The goal of this study was to identify some of the new responsibilities that have been assigned to the elementary school teachers , under the mediation of continuing education courses . We start from the idea that these courses , especially those offered by the SECADI, are proposed teachers and aims to train them for a performance at school that exceeds the activity of teaching in the classroom . The teacher has been summoned to attend these courses in which is prepared to act on school performing tasks rather related to the care of students than teaching , assisting them in their basic needs such as health, protection, inclusion and human rights. Asked ourselves if there was a reconfiguration of the responsibilities of education professionals in order to make use of oneself given by the State. We chose as sources of research documents the SECADI such as legislation , manuals and instructional materials that will proceed to the analysis , in each course , the target populations privileged , purpose, remuneration and certification , pre - requirements to participate in the courses and duration ; partnerships involved if the courses are face , semi-distance or distance ; activities that teacher should develop in school after completion of the courses ; loads hourly . We will seek to analyze the documents and materials of School programs that Protects, School Health Program , Network Education for Diversity. The theoretical and methodological framework is dialectical and historical materialism, from assumptions which we choose as the class character of society in capitalism and alienation as a phenomenon that affects the work in all its manifestations . Thus , our general hypothesis is that the enrichment tasks of teachers in public schools can contribute to basic disposition Teacher education

O conceito de Ciência no seu processo de realização

A ciência é desenvolvida na relação entre pesquisador e objeto de estudo. Tal relação pode se dar de três formas, sendo elas objetiva, subjetiva e dialética. Ao se destacar num trabalho científico qual a relação que o autor desenvolve com seu objeto de estudo, é possível evidenciar indícios de seu conceito de ciência já que, muitas vezes, é a forma com que o pesquisador se relaciona com o objeto que irá guiar suas práticas e o conduzir pelo caminho a ser seguido. Para isso realizou-se uma breve revisão das relações entre o sujeito conhecedor e objeto conhecido presentes historicamente na atividade científica. Foram coletados e analisados trabalhos de diversos pesquisadores de um centro de investigação científica e classificados numa das formas de relação entre sujeito e objeto sendo os de atitude realista de maior número, seguidos pelos idealistas e por fim pelos que privilegiam a relação. Os trabalhos realistas apresentam, de forma geral, uma pequena preocupação com a reflexão sobre o significado de sua própria prática. Acredita-se que a ciência realizada nestes trabalhos seja da maior qualidade e sugere-se, para uma realização ainda mais totalizante, que ocorra a prática de incorporação de cada vez mais da ciência da ciência em seu cotidiano. Serão suas reflexões que nos possibilitarão um desenvolver de uma ciência mais significativa e transformadora, cabendo aos pesquisadores, utilizarem da ciência da ciência para pensarem as práticas e a tornarem cada vez mais dialógicas e complexas, assim como a natureza o é

The results were gathered from analysis of video recordings of episodes of the short course in both the groups, to produce a higher rate of use of argumentative skill, which were classified into categories according to the prior knowledge of the subject, 'factual knowledge' , 'understanding of concepts' and 'reasoning and analysis.' From the information obtained, it was found that both the teachers and the students were consistent in their actions, and that the activity of reasoning is key to learning. Thus, one can realize that knowledge is not acquired all at the same time, each individual depends on the mediation of the teacher in order to reach different design more appropriate teaching and investigative linked with the argument can be the key tool to acquire this knowledge

Educação em direitos humanos: cidadania ou emancipação humana?

This study aims to identify the horizon of emancipation in Human Rights Education, using the philosophy of praxis as a theoretical framework, basing on authors as Tonet, Losurdo, Marx, and Saviani and Duarte, taking as a privileged locus analysis of the Plan National Human Rights Education (PNEDH, 2007). The discussion about the historical development of the movement of the struggles for human rights was a starting point to indicate how, in general, these struggles have been developing since the context of bourgeois revolutions. From there we tried to discuss how the prospect of citizenship has been treated within the Rights Education, the latter being a reflection of social movements' struggles for rights from the year 1980. Situating this movement within a larger movement on the issue of education in Brazil in the twentieth century, we tried to discuss the flags such as citizenship, the strengthening of civil society and creating a culture of rights as a goal of emancipation. Seeking to differentiate between citizenship as political emancipation and human emancipation, was placed the imperative to take the citizenship as a mediator and not as an endpoint in order to equip a culture of struggle for a classless society without exploitation of man by man
