Deterioração das pedras da arquitetura mortuária do cemitério Nossa Senhora da Soledade

A cidade de Belém do Pará contém um espaço que abriga inúmeros monumentos pétreos históricos, os quais configuram e marcam a identidade da sociedade belenense do século XIX. Esse espaço é o Cemitério da Soledade, que se configura como um museu a céu aberto. Além do intemperismo, que faz com que as pedras estejam constantemente sendo alteradas, o Soledade sofre com saques e vandalismos ao longo de seus mais de 150 anos de existência e a presença de patologias nos revestimentos pétreos de túmulos e mausoléus do primeiro cemitério público de Belém, fere a qualidade e a integridade do material, interferindo de forma negativa na leitura da imagem do espaço, o qual é tombado como Patrimônio Nacional Paisagístico desde1964, pelo IPHAN. A partir disso, e considerando a importância da conservação e restauração de edifícios e monumentos antigos para a preservação da memória de um povo, a pesquisa buscou avaliar as deteriorações de origem intempérica e antrópica nas diferentes pedras utilizadas nos túmulos e mausoléus do Cemitério Nossa Senhora da Soledade, por meio do conhecimento das características das rochas usadas, do seu estado de alteração e das causas e mecanismos de deterioração visando gerar subsídios para a sua conservação e restauração. O diagnóstico do estado de conservação, por meio de mapeamento de danos confirmou o nível avançado das manifestações patológicas nas superfícies das pedras, que internamente também apresentam falta de coesão e descontinuidades, conforme resultados do ultrassom. A partir das análises e investigações tecnológicas foi possível caracterizar o granito, o lioz e o mármore e determinar agentes e mecanismos de deterioração como a ação química, as altas temperaturas e a ação microbiológica. Para contribuir com ações de conservação futuras, foram realizados testes de procedimentos restaurativos, com polimento e aplicação de emplastro de bentonita, que se mostraram eficientes na limpeza dos monumentos. Com os dados obtidos com esse estudo, busca-se a oposição ao caráter atual de abandono do Cemitério da Soledade, promovendo a importância de mantê-lo conservado para as gerações futuras.

IPTU ambiental: fundamentos jurídicos para sua aplicação

A degradação ambiental é um problema global, afetando as sociedades de modo profundo. As gerações presentes e futuras percebem que as mudanças imprimidas no meio ambiente produziram perda de qualidade de vida, ao ponto de ser revisto o modo de produção de bens e principalmente o modo como a sociedade se relaciona com o meio ambiente. O crescimento urbano é uma tendência igualmente global, entretanto, a qualidade de vida dos centros urbanos não acompanha seu crescimento, gerando uma série de problemas ambientais que devem ser enfrentados pelo Poder Público e pela sociedade como um todo. Os tributos ambientais vêm sendo adotados como instrumentos de intervenção na economia, com objetivo de produzir comportamentos ambientalmente favoráveis, seja por meio de incentivos, seja por meio de encargos sobre fatos que prejudicam o meio ambiente. Os Municípios, no Brasil, pela importância histórica que possuem e pela competência tributária definida constitucionalmente, tem à sua disposição o Imposto Predial e Territorial Urbano, um tributo que pode ser utilizado como ferramenta de proteção ambiental. A Constituição Federal de 1988 prevê a utilização deste imposto como meio de proteção ambiental nos centros urbanos, sendo que ainda permite aos municípios a criação de impostos prediais que atendam às realidades locais, transformando esta exação em interessante ferramenta de proteção do meio ambiente.

Ethical Care of the Self and the Teacher in the Pedagogical Relationship: Reflections Based on the Latest Foucault

Our conception of education is that it is the responsible action whereby man becomes human, trains and faces the challenges that life and the world present, as man enters a larger, shared cultural tradition and thus joins the world. However such sharing implies that we must not just rely on tradition, but remain open to new ideas. It is essential for schooling to preserve a field where the art of living intersects with the world for which future generations are being prepared. It is in this field of intersection that this essay seeks to discuss Michel Foucault's thought, care of the self and the role played by others in the acquisition of ethical attitudes pertaining to one's conduct in life. Through reconstructing Foucault's ideas, we elaborate on the hypothesis that, before morally shaping students, teaching them values, or aiding in their skill acquisition in the sense prevailing in schooling today, it is important to understand the notion of care of the self (and how the notion implies interaction with others for effective care of the self). Care of the self is vital for thoroughly understanding the relationships between ethics and education in school. We particularly examine how Foucault's ideas and his analysis of the teacher's role in shaping the student's life conduct can help educators rethink pedagogical action in an ethical sense and find within it a certain openness to the formation of attitudes in educators and students

Inovação, tecnologias de informação e comunicação e processos disruptivos

Introduction: Innovation and its processes, especially in the field of technology, are a focus of Information Science as a science of Human, as they determine the establishment of new habits, relevant socio-cultural indicators to understanding the history of cultures. Objective: This article reflects on the problematic: whether and how Information and Communication Technologies have impacted the lives of digital natives, whether the average individual is prepared to conscientiously experience the technological environment, how the current system can prepare future generations of professionals, and how the adults who grew up in the twentieth century, in an analogue society can prepare young people for a twenty-first century digital reality, widely different from theirs. Methodology: This paper was based on Literature Review. Results: As the sophistication of technology advances, society has to continually review the way it appropriates information to adjust to these changes. Conclusions: As for relevance of the methodologies that lead to innovative disruptive actions in hybrid realities such as the Brazilian one, with niches of poverty and prosperity, it is believed that it is in poor countries or countries with significant social differences such as Brazil where the need for a change of socio technocultural paradigm and innovative action urge to take place.

Ciências da Funcionalidade Humana e Sustentabilidade Ambiental: a junção das partes constitui o todo?

The content of this article addresses two complex issues that concern contemporary society: Science of Human Functioning and Environmental Sustainability. On the one hand, the Science of Human Functioning, meeting the principles of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) and Universal Design, aim the development of accessible projects, products and environments, used by everyone, at the greatest extent possible, free from adaptation or plans to remove architectural barriers. The Universal Design is a process for creating products that are accessible to everyone, regardless their personal characteristics, age, skills and needs. On the other hand, Environmental Sustainability, with principles already imbricated in the Science of Human Functioning, traverses towards the acquisition of realistic measures for the segments of human activities. Based on the emphasis of the sustainable development, it aims to meet current needs not compromising the possibility of future generations to meet their own needs. Thus, it seeks the balance in coexistence between men and the environment by taking care of environmental, social and economic aspects and seeking for alternatives to support life on Earth with no harm to the quality of the planet in the future. It is argued that the combination of the issues contains relevant potential for interdisciplinary action, bringing together professionals from several fields of knowledge that, by socializing their experiences aiming at improving the human functioning and quality of life of people and environment, will be able to innovate and reinvent the knowledge for benefiting welfare, thus contributing effectively to society.

Avaliação do ciclo de vida dos tubos de PVC produzidos no Brasil

Naturally characterizes the human being the interference in the environment to ensure their survival and also convenience. After numerous environmental accidents caused by unbridled pursuit of this goal, the concern about providing for current needs without compromising the ability of the future generations to supply their own, gained space. In order to contribute to sustainable development the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was implemented. This tool is based on the concept that if the environmental impacts of a product or service are known, it is possible to take better decisions concerning its environmental aspects. The purpose of this research is to conduct the LCA of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the world’s second most consumed thermoplastic. The methodology described in NBR ISO 14040 and NBR ISO 14044 was followed. As a result, the LCA of polyvinyl chloride produced in Brazil was obtained, and, therefore, the inventory of the product in question adapted to Brazilian reality. The research can be applied to various studies considering that actions were taken to ensure that it represents the Brazilian reality. Moreover, the procedures were described to guarantee the greatest transparency possible

Análise dos parâmetros técnicos e econômicos do aquecedor solar a vácuo, visando economia de energia

This work is about a development of a vacuum solar water heater. To accomplish this, some measurements were made, such as flow, water temperature and room temperature, relative humidity, solar power density and wind speed. It first presents a brief explanation about the global situation in relation to the accelerated use of exhaustible energy sources which can result in a breakdown of these for future generations. From this, is proposed to analyze this solar water heater with vacuum tubes during the winter season in Brazil southeastern region, under different environmental conditions. From such ideas became possible to prove through the experimental part, calculations and graphical results that technology and the performance of this device are technical and economically viable, according to the life cycle of this. It was also found that the average monthly production in a maximum heat stroke situation was 193,33kWh and minimum isolation was 57,76kWh. This reveals that this instrument should start to be examined more closely by all, as a way to reduce the use of electricity, which will protect the environment without reducing the comfort of people

Effects of Maternal Pb2+ poisoning during pregnancy on the development of the jaw (Meckel´s Cartilage) of rat fetus

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of maternal lead poisoning during pregnancy on the development of the jaw (Meckel's cartilage) of rat fetuses by histologic and morphometric methods. Pregnant rats received a single intraperitoneal injection of 2.5 mg of lead acetate/100g body weight on the 10th day of pregnancy. Meckel's cartilage of fetuses of the lead-treated group showed smaller volume density and size of the lacunae, as well as modification of the lacunae shape. Moreover, the number density of lacunae and the volume density of the matrix increased significantly in the Meckel's cartilage in treated group fetuses. The results suggest that lead poisoning during the period of organogenesis can induce disturbances in the development and differentiation of the fetal stomatognathic system. Reducing the consumption of alcoholic beberages and smoking cessation by women in childbearing age, along with a strict policy of control of the environmental lead exposure can bring great benefits to the future generations of children.
