Estudo do impacto socioeconômico da piscicultura em tanques-rede no reservatório da UHE Tucuruí-PA: o caso do Projeto Ipirá

A presente dissertação avalia o desenvolvimento da piscicultura em tanques-rede no reservatório da Usina Hidrelétrica de Tucuruí, no Estado do Pará, a partir de um estudo de caso: o projeto de piscicultura Ipirá, criado por meio um acordo firmado entre a Centrais Elétricas do Norte do Brasil – Eletrobras Eletronorte e um conjunto de famílias que tiveram seus modos de vida impactados pela construção da Hidrelétrica de Tucuruí, como alternativa para a geração de emprego e renda. Avalia-se, mas especificamente qual o impacto do projeto na melhoria das condições de vida das famílias atendidas pelo mesmo sob a perspectiva socioeconômica. Para alcançar os objetivos desse trabalho, utilizou-se além do estudo de caso, o modelo sistêmico para a aqüicultura, em especial os cálculos dos índices para a avaliação da sustentabilidade socioeconômica da aquicultura - IDES, como procedimentos metodológicos. Observou-se que o projeto de piscicultura Ipirá mostra-se potencialmente sustentável do ponto de vista socioeconômico (0,649). Os indicadores aspectos sanitários (0,123), lazer (0,113) e saúde (0,110), apresentaram em ordem decrescente, as principais contribuições na composição do IDES, ao passo que os indicadores renda (0,040) e habitação (0,79), essenciais para a manutenção familiar e condições de bem estar do ser humano, apresentaram os piores resultados. Conclui-se, a partir dos resultados gerados, que o projeto de piscicultura Ipirá não conseguiu alcançar seu objetivo principal: geração de emprego e renda, e demonstra-se não influenciar significativamente na melhoria das condições de vida das famílias atendidas, o que é reforçado pelos dados levantados em campo, onde 86% dos entrevistados sobrevivem com salário igual e menor que 1 salário mínimo mensal, complementado pelo auxílio do seguro defeso e o bolsa família. Por fim, ressalta-se a relevância do projeto Ipirá como um case de política sócio-ambiental com potencial para dinamizar a economia local e em uma perspectiva mais otimista se tornar um modelo a ser replicado e abranger todos os municípios do entorno do reservatório da Usina Hidrelétrica de Tucuruí, desde que as falhas na implantação e no seu gerenciamento sejam sanadas e as devidas providenciais sejam tomadas, como as apontadas pelo presente estudo.

Cartografia da vulnerabilidade socioambiental: convergências e divergências a partir de algumas experiências em Portugal e no Brasil

In this study we intent to contextualize the topic environmental vulnerability on the world stage, highlighting similarities and differences in their conceptions in Portugal and Brazil. In the literature about the vulnerability is already established the contribution of Geotechnologies, especially the Systems of Remote Sensing and Orbital Imaging as well as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its potential for modelling physical and socioeconomic aspects for the prevention, mitigation and facing risk manifestations, whether natural, technological or mixed. This paper aims to discuss the methodological framework of vulnerability studies and the results of application in the modelling of socioeconomic and environmental data in the context of the Region Centre of Portugal and the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The methodology for analysing the vulnerability of these regions was based on quantitative studies of the capacity of resistance and resilience of populations and territories. The results were consistent with the socio-environmental realities of the study areas and reflect the complexity of facing and recovery of risk situations in case of territories and populations under low economic conditions and urban infrastructure, whether in Brazil and Portugal.

Diagnóstico socioambiental de um alojamento estudantil público e da comunidade do entorno: um estudo da relação entre a universidade e a sociedade

Dormitories are places offered by Brazilian public Universities to undergraduate students evaluated as socio-economically less favored aiming to guarantee the housing of the student in the locality they take a given undergraduate course, once housing is one the points which compose the tripod that supports the concept of student permanence, along with conditions of transportations and food. These places, however, present problems in their management, specially the ones related to social and environmental questions, caused by wrong attitudes and pre-concepts of their own residents, other students and the communities who live around them. So, this project aims to identify and analyze the socio-environmental conditions of a students’ dormitory located in Botucatu/SP which is supported by the Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita Filho” (Unesp) as well as the community that surrounds it. The data collecting is based on an exploratory research characterized for interviews that used semi-structured questionnaires and for the creation of a photography record of the region. The obtained data corroborated the tendency of an increasing gap between the Brazilian public universities and the society as well as to the disengagement of them and their students. This diagnosis has permitted to build proposals of educational interventions based on Permaculture, Agroecology and Critical Environmental Education to the improvement of the existing relationships among the students who live at the dormitory and among them and the local community. These interventions may be used as subsidies to the development of future research and extension projects to the local community

Energias alternativas: potencialidades para as regiões de maior demanda energética no Brasil

Since the beginning of life in society, the human being has sought sources of energy that can be used continuously, or stored to be consumed in times of need. The various energy generation processes has enabled the human race for the implementation of many activities ranging from food preparation, handling of large industries and even the possibility of total annihilation by the availability of powerful nuclear weapons. In Brazil, whereupon the various deleterious aspects and especially the finite resources used on a large scale for the energy conservation, there is a huge devotion of society referred to the prospects for alternatives to the use of energy in local, regional and global, but overall, as it wouldn’t be different, the main factors in this scenario are economic. The fact that the unused potential of a region in the use of alternative sources of energy leads to a larger socio-environmental prejudice generalized to all. The purpose of this project is targeted for a comprehensive, systemic and integrated discussion about some of the main alternative energy sources, associated with technical procedures related to them, to contribute to a better and effective use of natural resources available in each region of the country, in order to minimize the impacts on the environment in which they are inserted.

Relações públicas e o Brand Management: storytelling 2.0 na construção de relacionamentos

According to the Informational Society of the twentieth century, man develops society of the spectacle, where life becomes virtual and the individual ceases to be a spectator becoming the protagonist of wikiciberepopéia and organizations seeking to gain the attention and time of its consumers through new communication strategies. If the great epics of mankind brought mythical heroes, divine, with powers (mostly above the mortals), in the era of new technologies, the common man is in the hands the opportunity to become the hero of his own ciberepopéia. Increasingly resistant to traditional advertising, the new model of media consumer, the prosumer, the storytelling is transforming into one of the main communication tools of contemporary organizations. Offer your audience a creative and relevant content across several media platforms is a major brand positioning strategies currently used, in addition to providing the transmission of values and organizational principles in a subjective manner. Storytelling where objects are extensions of the human body (eg, the cell can be treated as an extension of the ears) is a strong indication of a technocratic society, because we can consider the new technologies as extensions of the human brain (as new store technologies, create meanings, share information through a specific language) and the individual who is on the edge of new technology ends up being excluded from certain social events. This new world tends to put an end to separation between seemingly contrary ideas, such as reality/fiction, natural/cultural and the man who emerges from this medium is not the creator, but rather, transforming what already exists. The current human evolution takes place from about half the human mind and tell stories that go beyond the media saturation that really emocionem and who have a real meaning for those who listen, to be interconnected with the socio-environmental reality of this new consumer, is a major chall...

Síndrome da disfunção cognitiva em cães

Cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) is a progressive degenerative disorder of older dogs, characterized by a decline in cognitive function. The main clinical signs consistent with CDS are: disorientation, changes in socio-environmental interaction, sleep-wake cycle disturbance, changes in hygiene habits, urinate and/or defecate in unusual places, decreased physical activity, anxiety and eating disorders. There are no specific diagnostic tests for this condition in vivo, but alterations in neurological examination, cognitive tests and magnetic resonance imaging can be observed. The diagnosis is confirmed by histopathological examination of brain tissue. Diets rich in antioxidants, environmental enrichment with exercise and the use of selegiline and L-deprenyl have been recommended for the treatment of CDS.
