Bens públicos e recursos de acesso comum: instituições que influenciam sua conservação nos bairros Cota do Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar de São Paulo

Este artigo visa abordar o embate do uso e da conservação dos recursos naturais e de acesso comum, principalmente remanescentes florestais em áreas protegidas. O uso e o manejo desses recursos são temas de diversas teorias, sendo apresentados neste artigo os teóricos Garrett Hardin e Elinor Ostrom. Numa visão antagônica, Garrett Hardin aborda a problemática da coletividade no uso dos recursos, apontando a necessidade de um controle externo para evitar a superexploração, e Elinor Ostrom vê a possibilidade da autonomia da comunidade para o uso sustentável. São contrapontos entre a indução do comportamento por meios coercitivos legais e o controle pela própria comunidade para conservação ambiental. A partir da análise de princípios elencados por Elinor Ostrom é feita a avaliação do desempenho institucional em dois estudos de casos no Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, nos bairros Cota.

Three replacement names for species of the subfamily Leiinae (Diptera, Mycetophilidae)

New names are proposed for three cases of homonymy in the Mycetophilidae subfamily Leiinae, one in the genus Docosia Winnerz, one in Leia Meigen, and one in Tetragoneura Winnertz. Docosia garretti nom. nov. is proposed for Docosia setosa Garrett, 1925; Leia walkeri nom. nov. for Leia bimaculata (Walker, 1848); and Tetragoneura sasakawai nom. nov. for Tetragoneura tibialis Sasakawa, 1961. The context of each new name is discussed.

Sorção de Diuron em minerais da fração argila

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the adsorption of the herbicide Diuron onto smectite and Fe oxides minerals. Ninety mg of each mineral, 1 mL of 0.15 mol L-1 CaCl2 and 8 mL of Diuron (0.25-10.00 mg L-1) were used in triplicates. These materials were shaken, ultra centrifuged and the supernatant collected and analysed on a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The Diuron presented low adsorption onto clay mineral fractions. Adsorption was greater onto Fe oxides at pH 7.0, possibly due to proximity to the point of zero charge of these minerals.

The literary arts in Hume's science of the fancy

Philosophers have long disagreed about whether poetry, drama, and other literary arts are important to philosophy; and among those who believe that they are important, explanations of that importance have differed greatly. This paper aims to explain and illustrate some of the reasons why Hume found literature to be an important topic for philosophy and philosophers. Philosophy, he holds, can help to explain general and specific literary phenomena, to ground the science of criticism, and to suggest and justify ";principles of art,"; while at the same time literature can provide valuable ";experiments"; for philosophical theorizing and provide it with a model for the science of morals and (in some ways) for philosophy itself. Moreover, the literary arts can not only help one to write better philosophy, in Hume's view; they can also help one to write philosophy better.
