A potencialização dos homicídios no contexto do espaço social: o caso de Belém do Pará

Essa dissertação tem por objetivo apresentar os fatores que potencializam a incidência de homicídios no contexto do espaço social em Belém do Pará, no período de 2007 a 2010. Para tanto, o mapeamento dos homicídios foi utilizado para analisar a dinâmica deste crime violento. A partir da espacialização das ocorrências foi possível notar que sua distribuição não é uniforme e ao longo dos anos de 2004 a 2007 se concentrou mais em umas áreas que outras. Alguns bairros se destacaram pelo fato do desfecho de conflitos sociais resultarem em altas taxas de homicídios. Nesse contexto e tendo como fundamento explicações postuladas na literatura especializada a cerca do tema concluí-se que a precariedade ou ausência dos serviços públicos de responsabilidade do Município são fatores que podem estar potencializando as taxas de homicídio em alguns bairros. Em locais assim, fica claro que atuação do Estado Democrático de Direito não é eficiente no sentido de garantir direitos fundamentais, como a vida, a liberdade, a igualdade e a segurança ao cidadão.

Mineração de calcário no município de Capanema, Estado do Pará: uma análise a partir da percepção dos moradores do entorno da Jazida B-17

A globalização impulsionou a transformação dos locais a partir de suas potencialidades e identidades, dinamizando as transformações socioeconômicas, político-institucionais e ambientais em relação aos espaços e recursos naturais fornecidos ao homem. Dessa forma, a presente dissertação tem o objetivo de expor e analisar os resultados acerca da percepção dos moradores das comunidades São Leandro, Mata Sede e Braço Grande em relação as mudanças ocorridas a partir da extração de calcário na Jazida B-17 da Fábrica de Cimentos do Brasil S/A (CIBRASA) no Município de Capanema (PA). Todavia, a pesquisa constitui-se em um estudo de caso e, o método de interpretação da análise utilizado foi o Método Indutivo, no qual realizamos a aplicação de questionários e entrevistas abertas, utilizando a perspectiva de análise qualitativa e, secundariamente quantitativa. Portanto, a partir da pesquisa in loco foi constatado que as relações entre CIBRASA e vizinhança se caracterizam a partir de uma contraditória realidade, no qual de um lado tem-se a fábrica com sua extração de calcário e produção de cimento, e, do outro, as comunidades vizinhas da B-17 com sua agricultura familiar, convivendo com o efeito poluidor da extração de calcário, que pode impactar o ecossistema da região, suas produções e moradores. A atuação da CIBRASA gerou mudanças nas condições de vida da população e o desenvolvimento econômico do município através da geração de emprego e renda para uma parte da população, pois não inclui a vizinhança da Jazida B-17 que não percebe nenhum tipo de investimento, benefício econômico e social a partir da geração de emprego, renda, melhorias de saneamento básico, educação, transporte, segurança e saúde advindos após o início de lavra na Jazida B-17, enfatizando assim, a ausência de diálogo e inter-relação entre a CIBRASA, o Poder Público e a Vizinhança.

A influência das universidades públicas de São Carlos-SP na dinâmica do espaço geográfico: a importância da população estudantil para o setor imobiliário

The city of San Carlos is known to have important centers of research aimed at developing high technologies, which are: Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), the University of São Paulo (USP). Thus, the portion of the population of students who are not from the city of San Carlos, but it has to be present daily to provide their respective courses in San Carlos, has the need to rent property. The housing market, in turn, uses the application of capital to meet the demands of students and business is taking steps that make the production of space and provide new scope of the place, giving new meaning to the settings and new residents. This work goes towards understanding the students, social workers, boosting growth in this market and the influences of space and real estate agents and their actions materialized in space to meet this demand

Diagnóstico ambiental do Córrego Bandeirantes, município de Rio Claro, SP: parâmetros biológicos e metais-traço

This study was conducted to verify water quality and environmental impacts related to the occupation of the watershed of the Bandeirantes stream, located in Rio Claro, SP. The intention is to propose measures to enable the mitigation of negative impacts, and boosting the recovery and maintenance of the quality of water resources, preventing its complete degradation. Water analysis were performed at three different points, east, crossing the Ring Road (dirt road) and near the confluence with the Ribeirão Claro. The results indicated significant degradation of water, especially after the crossing, where it witnessed the accumulation of solid waste and easy access to the stream, both for animals as for people, due to limited riparian it. Another impact was observed the current construction of the Forum of Rio Claro in the right side of the stream studied, causing change in the landscape, change the flow properties and removal of existing vegetation at the site of work, defined as an environmentally protected area, as determined by existing law. Measures such as: restoration of riparian zones, effluent treatment, planned urban growth and environmental education of the population, would be essential to mitigate the environmental impacts of watershed Bandeirantes stream

O transporte coletivo urbano em São José do Rio Preto - SP e sua relação com as transformações do espaço urbano

The process of urbanization that happened in Brazil during the twentieth century led to processes of structuring and re-organization of space, besides the emergence of many urban problems. Industrialization and urbanization are some of the main causes that could be cited as consequences of this process. As a result of the steep rise of cities, the transport systems became fundamental in boosting flows (immaterial) and the mobility of people and stuff (materials) in the territory. The urban model created for the city of São Paulo in the 1930s was repeated over the years in the medium-sized cities, being repeated the same problems that occurred in the metropolis. In this context our work fits in analyzing the changes occurring in the urban area of São José do Rio Preto - SP, from his relationship with the public transportation system in the face of intra-urban spatial configuration of the city. Transport, while it is recognized by authors as being really important for the analysis and intra-urban spatial configuration, has been little analyzed as the object of study by a geographer, and so, our work has more value

A comparison about evolutionary algorithms for optimum-path forest clustering optimization

In this paper we deal with the problem of boosting the Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) clustering approach using evolutionary-based optimization techniques. As the OPF classifier performs an exhaustive search to find out the size of sample's neighborhood that allows it to reach the minimum graph cut as a quality measure, we compared several optimization techniques that can obtain close graph cut values to the ones obtained by brute force. Experiments in two public datasets in the context of unsupervised network intrusion detection have showed the evolutionary optimization techniques can find suitable values for the neighborhood faster than the exhaustive search. Additionally, we have showed that it is not necessary to employ many agents for such task, since the neighborhood size is defined by discrete values, with constrain the set of possible solution to a few ones.

Accumulation of semivolatile organic compounds in Antarctic vegetation: A case study of polybrominated diphenyl ethers

Antarctic plant communities are dominated by lichens and mosses which accumulate semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) directly from the atmosphere. Differences in the levels of PBDEs observed in lichens and mosses collected at King George Island in the austral summers 2004-05 and 2005-06 are probably explained by environmental and/or plant parameters. Contamination of lichens showed a positive correlation with local precipitation, suggesting that wet deposition processes are a major mechanism controlling the uptake of most PBDE congeners. These findings are in agreement with physical-chemical data supporting that tetra- through hepta-BDEs in the Antarctic atmosphere are basically bound to aerosols. Conversely, accumulation of PBDEs in mosses appears to be controlled by other environmental factors and/or plant-specific characteristics. Model simulations demonstrated that an ocean-atmosphere coupling may have played a role in the long-range transport of less volatile SOCs such as PBDEs to Antarctica. According to simulations, the atmosphere is the most important transport medium for PBDEs while the surface ocean serves as a temporary storage compartment, boosting the deposition/volatilization ""hopping"" effect similarly to vegetation on continents.

Seeing with the eyes shut: Neural basis of enhanced imagery following ayahuasca ingestion

The hallucinogenic brew Ayahuasca, a rich source of serotonergic agonists and reuptake inhibitors, has been used for ages by Amazonian populations during religious ceremonies. Among all perceptual changes induced by Ayahuasca, the most remarkable are vivid seeings. During such seeings, users report potent imagery. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging during a closed-eyes imagery task, we found that Ayahuasca produces a robust increase in the activation of several occipital, temporal, and frontal areas. In the primary visual area, the effect was comparable in magnitude to the activation levels of natural image with the eyes open. Importantly, this effect was specifically correlated with the occurrence of individual perceptual changes measured by psychiatric scales. The activity of cortical areas BA30 and BA37, known to be involved with episodic memory and the processing of contextual associations, was also potentiated by Ayahuasca intake during imagery. Finally, we detected a positive modulation by Ayahuasca of BA 10, a frontal area involved with intentional prospective imagination, working memory and the processing of information from internal sources. Therefore, our results indicate that Ayahuasca seeings stem from the activation of an extensive network generally involved with vision, memory, and intention. By boosting the intensity of recalled images to the same level of natural image, Ayahuasca lends a status of reality to inner experiences. It is therefore understandable why Ayahuasca was culturally selected over many centuries by rain forest shamans to facilitate mystical revelations of visual nature. Hum Brain Mapp, 2012.
