Spatial and temporal distribution of fish in Palmas bay, Ubatuba, Brazil

The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution and abundance of the fish fauna of Palmas bay on Anchieta Island in southeastern Brazil. Specimens were caught in the summer and winter of 1992, using an otter trawl at three locations in the bay. The specimens were caught in both the nighttime and daytime. Data on the water temperature and salinity were recorded for the characterization of the predominant water mass in the region, and sediment samples were taken for granulometric analysis. A total of 7 656 specimens (79 species), with a total weight of approximately 300 kg, were recorded. The most abundant species were Eucinostomus argenteus, Ctenosciaena gracilicirrhus, Haemulon steindachneri, Eucinostomus gula and Diapterus rhombeus, which together accounted for more than 73% of the sample. In general, the ecological indices showed no differences in the composition of species for the abiotic variables analyzed. The multivariate analysis showed that the variations in the distribution of the fish fauna were mainly associated with intra-annual differences in temperature and salinity, resulting from the presence of South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) in the area during the summer. The analysis also showed an association with the type of bottom and a lesser association with respect to the night/day periods.

Diagnosis of Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi infection in dogs and the relationship with environmental and sanitary aspects in the municipality of Palmas, state of Tocantins, Brazil

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present study was to identify the presence of Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi infection in dogs in the City of Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil, using the PCR technique to list the hot spots of infected dogs in the city and associate their occurrence to significant environmental changes at capture sites. METHODS: DNA was extracted from blood of dogs, and the PCR were performed with primers RV1/RV2. After screening the population studied, the regions of the city that had the highest occurrence of canine infection were detected. These sites were visited, and ecological parameters denoting anthropogenic disturbance were evaluated. RESULTS: Some important features were listed in the regions visited, such as low urbanization, lack of public collection of sewage, limited garbage collection, vacant lots with tall vegetation, decaying organic matter, and, most importantly, the occurrence of stray dogs and poultry in homes. CONCLUSIONS: The methodology for screening the population was very efficient, especially in evaluating a large number of individuals in a short time, with a high degree of automation. The results indicate an association between the observed parameters and the occurrence of infection in dogs. The model presented in the city is ideal for studies of disease progression and expansion and for the evaluation of control measures adopted for canine VL.

Solidarity finance through community development banks as a strategy for reshaping local economies: lessons from Banco Palmas

The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the possibilities and challenges of Community Development Banks (CDBs) as an innovative method of socioeconomic management of microcredit for poor populations. To this end, we will discuss the case of Banco Palmas in Conjunto Palmeiras in the city of Fortaleza, in the northeastern state of Ceará, as an empirical case study. The analyses presented here are based on information obtained from Banco Palmas between late 2011 and early 2012. In addition, previous studies by other researchers on the bank and other studies on CDBs were important. The primary data collected at Banco Palmas came from documents made available by the bank, such as reports and mappings. The analyses describe some of the characteristics of the granting of microcredit and allow one to situate it in the universe of microfinance and solidarity finance. They also show the significant growth of local consumption, mostly through the use of the Palmas social currency. The Banco Palmas experience, aside from influencing national public policies of solidarity finance, initiated a CDBs network that encourages the replication of these experiences throughout the country.

Welfare improvements from income redistribution : getting access to cultural goods. 'Mejoras en el bienestar desde la redistribución la renta : como tener acceso a bienes culturales'.

La teoría económica ha demostrado que en mercados imperfectos la redistribución de la renta puede incrementar el bienestar social y dar lugar a situaciones en las que todos los agentes económicos involucrados puedan mejorar el nivel de bienestar. Se demuestra que la implantación de un regimen fiscal de subvenciones también puede mejorar los efectos en mercados competitivos perfectos, que se derivan de economías externas de escala.

Gestão estratégica de IES : modelos e funções do planejamento estratégico em universidades públicas e privadas de Palmas – Tocantins

O objetivo deste estudo foi de analisar os modelos e funções dos planejamentos estratégicos adotados nas instituições de ensino superior (IES) de Palmas, Tocantins. Procuramos, para tanto, enfatizar três grandes práticas empresariais globais que fazem parte do contexto das universidades: a competitividade, visualizada pela introdução da inovação e de novas tecnologias; a mercantilização da educação, que emergiu da forma como a educação é tratada - ‘mercadoria’- e, assim, reflete sobre a autonomia universitária; e, por último, o planejamento estratégico, que tomou grande proporção de uso no ensino superior nas últimas décadas. Frente ao exposto, a questão central que conduziu a pesquisa foi: como as práticas empresariais globais (planejamento estratégico, competitividade e mercantilização da educação) têm influenciado os modelos de gestão adotados pelas universidades frente aos desafios que enfrentam no tocante à oferta da educação superior e como os planejamentos estratégicos expressam essa influência? Nesse sentido, analisamos os documentos dos planejamentos estratégicos de duas IES, uma pública e outra privada, de forma a evidenciar suas diferenças e similaridades por meio dos modelos de gestão e suas principais funções, bem como entrevistamos os gestores das IES sobre suas concepções em relação à influência das práticas empresariais globais quanto ao planejamento estratégico. Como resultado das análises e das entrevistas realizadas, concluímos que o planejamento estratégico é utilizado, pelas IES, como importante ferramenta para formar a imagem institucional, pensar a universidade no futuro, evitar retrabalhos e, principalmente, melhorar os serviços prestados à sociedade.
