Alterações morfohidrográficas do setor de fundo de vale do rio Piracicaba sob influência do reservatório de Barra Bonita (SP)

O homem modifica o ambiente ao seu redor gerando alterações “nos elementos que se encontram em contato direto com suas atividades, como a cobertura vegetal, as formas do relevo e a rede hidrográfica” (CASSETI, 1994). Assim, destacam-se as áreas submetidas ao represamento, cujos reflexos incidem diretamente sobre as formas do relevo. Desta forma, a geomorfologia atua como uma ciência de análise das alterações ocorridas na rede de drenagem e nas feições geomorfológicas, e a cartografia geomorfológica antecipa-se como instrumento da geomorfologia. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi identificar e analisar as alterações morfohidrográficas e morfométricas provocadas pela construção do reservatório de Barra Bonita no curso final do Rio Piracicaba. A orientação metodológica vincula-se à Teoria Geral dos Sistemas Aplicada à Geografia e à análise da dinâmica de sistemas morfohidrográficos. Para as técnicas, foram confeccionados mapas geomorfológicos e de uso e ocupação das terras dos anos de 1962 (ano anterior à construção da barragem) e 2007 (selecionado como ponto de partida para a análise das alterações morfohidrográficas). Em 1962 existiam barras de meandro, canais e meandros abandonados, terraços fluviais, diques marginais, lagos e lagos de meandros. Em 2007 estes são comprometidos devido à mudança de nível de base local, fato demonstrado pelo desaparecimento de meandros e canais abandonados nas planícies aluviais, fragmentação de terraços fluviais, mudança de foz pelos canais tributários do rio principal e surgimento de novas lagoas. Para o uso, no ano de 1962 existiam grandes áreas de vegetação de “campo úmido”, atrelado à feição geomorfológica “planície aluvial”, que se encontrou alagada no ano de 2007. Foram também calculados os índices de sinuosidade, densidade de meandramento, número de meandros, área... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Estudo do efeito das mudanças no uso do solo nas adjacências de uma reserva de cerrado sobre sua fauna apícola

Insetos e outros invertebrados desempenham papel chave nos ecossistemas terrestres por estarem envolvidos com processos de decomposição, ciclagem de nutrientes, polinização, dispersão e predação de sementes, etc. A fragmentação de habitats reduz sua área original, podendo causar extinções locais, alteração na composição e abundância de espécies e levar à perda de processos naturais das comunidades. Além disso, modifica os padrões de distribuição dos organismos, leva a uma redução da fonte de recursos disponíveis, interfere na dinâmica metapopulacional e gera efeitos negativos na abundância e diversidade genética, que pode contribuir para o declínio de muitas espécies. Neste estudo foram identificadas as mudanças de uso e ocupação dos solos ocorridas nos últimos 35 anos no entorno da Reserva de Cerrado de Corumbataí e sua influência sobre sua fauna de abelhas, tendo como referência levantamentos de espécies realizados nos anos de 1982, 1983 e 1984 e em seguida nos anos de 2000 e 2001. As espécies de abelha foram separadas por guildas de polinização para refletir melhor sua diversidade funcional na área de estudo. A vegetação visitada por estas abelhas foi separada de acordo com o bioma ao qual pertence e elaborou-se mapas temáticos de uso e cobertura do solo dos anos de 1975, 1981 e 2010 a partir de geoprocessamento no Spring 5.0 e criação de um Plano de Informação contendo a máscara de 10 Km de raio no entorno do fragmento a partir de imagens de composição colorida das bandas 4, 2, 3 (RGB) do LANDSAT 5, resolução de 30 m e LANDSAT 1 e 2 com resolução de 60 m disponibilizadas pelo Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE). Os polígonos presentes na área de estudo de foram classificados de acordo com seu uso e ocupação em remanescentes florestais, áreas antrópicas e florestas plantadas...

A interferência do estado de humor na melhora dos componentes da capacidade funcional em idosos

Mood States are feelings auto regulation deliver to individual better quality of life and healthy aging. The declines of the aging process can be minimized with the regular practice of physical activity and systematized. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a dance program in mood states, depressive symptoms and functional capacity in elderly participants of PROFIT. METHOD: The sample was composed of 20 elderly people. The Training Group was formed by 15 elders who participated in a protocol of dance with duration of 1 hour, three times per week, for 12 weeks and the Control Group, composed of 5 elderly, did not attend any program of physical activity. The participants were evaluated by the List of States of Mind Reduced and Illustrated, Geriatric Depression Scale and the battery of tests of AAHPERD. For the mood states was used non-parametric analysis, according to the technique of Binomial Analysis. To compare the components of functional capacity between the groups was used analysis of variance for repeated measures two-way ANOVA and the level of significance was set at 5 %. RESULTS: The functional components remained favorable, highlighting Agility (pre = 21.03 ± 1.64 sec./ post = 18.63 ± 2.26 sec.) And aerobic endurance (pre = 495.94 ± 46.48 sec. / post = 448.01 ± 12.27 sec.). In the comparison between positive and negative functional levels and mood states showed no relationship between these variables, dealing with different aspects and has influence one another. The state post-dancing sessions mood in GT were more positive even for elderly patients with depressive symptoms even unproven statistically, depressive symptoms were maintained or reduced mostly. CONCLUSION: The dance practice maintains the functionality of components; modifies mood states to positive levels and reduces or prevents the onset of depressive symptoms and complications in elderly

A percepção do preparador físico sobre o estresse no futebol: um estudo piloto

Studies on stress in the sport are broad and profound. However, we do not found approach to study the perceptions of trainers on the subject and how it influences the organization of training throughout the season. From this premise, the aim of this work is to verify that the perception of the trainer about stress and its influence on planning. To this end, we chose a qualitative research, through an open interview, carried out with a trainer for a professional soccer team as a pilot for future studies. The interview responses are consistent with the findings of the literature on the changes in the players arising from the interference of stress in the various dimensions. But it was also possible to identify the trainer interviewed pointed out that stress, especially during the competition changes the preliminary planning, therefore, modify the activities to be applied to players depending on the outcome of matches. This pilot study we subsidized the development of new questions that will be inserted in the continuity of the study

A concepção do aluno sobre o papel da educação física na escola após a experiência de acampante

Camping alloys the implementation of a broad variety of activities that involves many aspects of the corporal culture of movement. There is much more than fun in games and plays and that’s what we seek to include in the children’s daily routine. The Physical Education professional has as one of its duties to teach these elements, such as the knowledge related to the citizenship formation to its students. Therefore, the participation in camping can contribute to this formation, since the students have the chance to realize the amplitude of Physical Education and change their view on it, even at school. The aim of this research is to investigate after the camping experience, if the students change their conception on the Physical Education role at school. This study has used qualitative methodology consisting on interviews done prior and post the students camping experience at the school . Ten students of both gender, aged between 13 and 15 years old, were interviewed. It was used a script with semi-structured questions. As the main result it has found an unanimity among the students towards the importance of Physical Education: the responsibility for the health and it’s also arisen discussions on cooperation and respect. Although they recognize that the teacher does not discuss these values and attitudes; two students believe that to have changed their view towards school Physical Education after experiencing the activities proposed in the camping. Despite most of the students haven’t changed their concept on school Physical Education, they had the opportunity to see new activities and to think more carefully about the importance of Physical Education classes at school, an opportunity on building a more critical view on the discipline.

Frugivoria e dispersão de sementes por anta (Tapirus terrestris) em uma área de plantio florestal no cerrado, MS

A anta brasileira Tapirus terrestris é o maior mamífero terrestre neotropical, sendo encontrada em todos os biomas brasileiros, com exceção da Caatinga, onde foi extinta. É capaz de carregar sementes de tamanhos variados por longas distâncias e em grandes quantidades, e depositá-las em locais distantes da plantamãe. Porém, seu potencial como dispersora é questionado, uma vez que o transporte para latrinas pode dificultar o estabelecimento pela grande quantidade de sementes. Os objetivos desse projeto foram (1) investigar a dieta da anta em um ambiente de Cerrado e (2) verificar, através de testes de germinação, se a passagem pelo seu trato digestivo modifica a taxa de germinação de araçá-docampo (Psidium guineense) e mutambo (Guazuma ulmifolia). O estudo foi realizado na fazenda Barra do Moeda, Três Lagoas/MS, onde a matriz é composta por talhões de eucalipto e cerrado em diversos estágios sucessionais. Os bolos fecais foram coletados em viagens trimestrais e, na triagem, tiveram as sementes separadas e contabilizadas. Foram utilizados os testes qui-quadrado e o de Mann-Whitney para as análises estatísticas. A triagem dos bolos fecais registrou 53 espécies vegetais, sendo 31 identificadas. As famílias com maior proporção foram Myrtaceae, Poaceae, Malvaceae e Rubiaceae, sendo verificada diferença significativa na dieta entre as duas estações. O fruto de Araçá-do-Campo (Psidium guineense) foi o mais consumido nos dois períodos, o que indica a importância desse item alimentar para a anta. Além disso, foi verificada uma redução significativa no sucesso germinativo do araçá-do-campo após a passagem pelo trato digestivo desse mamífero, sugerindo que apesar da grande quantidade de sementes, parte é inviabilizada. Foram também registradas sete espécies e dois gêneros novos, o que indica a importância da realização de novas pesquisas, com o intuito... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Avaliação dos efeitos de aloe-emodin em células uroteliais imortalizadas e neoplásicas cultivadas in vitro

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller), popularly known in Brazil as babosa, has a long history of use as medicinal plant for different therapeutic purposes. The components of the plant extract are present in various products of human use, mainly for nutritional and cosmetics purposes. However, some studies suggest that this extract might also have carcinogenic activity. The aloe vera extract is a complex mixture of bioactive compounds. The study of isolated compounds may contribute to elucidate contradictory results about the effects related to the consumption of the plant, as well as their mechanisms of action. One of the most important compound from Aloe vera is aloe-emodin, which is a secondary metabolite generated in the intestinal tract. Putative antimicrobial and antitumor effects were previously attributed to aloe-emodin. Although the exposure of urothelial cells to aloe-emodin was already reported in the literature, only one study showed its effects on urothelial cells, suggesting that aloe-emodin inhibits the viability of T24 cancer cells due to apoptosis induction. Since there is no sufficient information about the effects of aloe-emodin on urothelial cells, and low efficiency in the treatment of bladder cancer currently, the present study aims to evaluate the hypothesis that the treatment with aloe-emodin could impact the behavior of other urothelial cell lines in vitro. Therefore, the in vitro IC50 exposure of aloe-emodin to human immortalized neoplastic urothelial cells will be determinated in order to verify possible differences in the behavior of urothelial cells in vitro treated with aloe-emodin in comparison with untreated cells. Furthermore, differences between cell lines will be also evaluated

Human identification by means of conventional and digital Cheiloscopy: a study of the literature

One of the areas of human identification is Cheiloscopy, the name given to the study of the lips, their characteristics (such as thickness, position of the grooves and grooves) and the record of the impressions left by them. There are variations in the layout of the lines and fissures of the lips, which are unique to each individual, permanent and unchanging. The lip print rarely changes, enduring minor traumas such as inflammation or sores. In criminal investigations, lip prints, visible through the presence of lipstick, can be found on glasses, napkins, clothes, cigarettes, indicating a relationship between the subject and the scene of the crime. Latent impressions may be revealed employing specific chemicals such as powder of silver and aluminum nitrate. Although it is not a very common method, Cheiloscopy may become very useful in forensics due to the extensive amount of valuable information that it brings. The objective of this study was to review the literature on the use of Cheiloscopy in human identification, using traditional and digital methods. It was found that the literature is still in need of studies in this area. The advent of new digital technologies can facilitate the implementation of technical expertise, generating speed and objectivity. New research studies are necessary, especially in the development of digital methods. The application of Cheiloscopy can greatlyhelp with Law, in the identification of living suspects and dead individuals. In the end the benefit will fall to society as a whole.

Um estudo sobre a influência do sistema de gestão ambiental ISO 14001 sobre a imagem de organizações industriais e o papel das relações públicas

The consumers' requirements are constantly growing, as well as the concern for the environment. Considering this change of scenario, industrial companies started paying more attention to environmental issues and decided to resort to solutions such as the adoption of the Environmental Management System based on the ISO 14001 model. It is believed that the adoption of this model changes the organizational image, both internally and externally. This possible change was the focus of this research, considering that many publics related to certified companies may have the wrong idea about what being a green company really means. The objective of this study is to verify, through a survey research, the relation between the Environmental Management System based on ISO 14001 with organizational image of Brazilian firms. At first, this paper presents a theoretical review on Environmental Management System, IS0 14001, Organizational image, green Marketing, Greenwashing and Public Relations. Next, the research method is presented, as well as the results obtained through theoretical study, the research application and data analysis, and a brief analysis of the Public Relations' role in the organizational environment at issue. Finally, it presents the results obtained by tabulating the questionnaires, analysis of related data, and consideration about these
