Caracterização sazonal da exportação de matéria particulada (seston) e dissolvida do sistema hidrológico do Taim para a Lagoa Mirin (Rio Grande so Sul, Brasil)

No presente trabalho foram estudadas as variações sazonais do material orgânico e inorgânico transportado pelo efluente que deixa o Sistema Hidrológico do Taim via comportas de drenagem. O Sistema Hidrológico do Taim, localizado a sudeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, compreende um complexo de banhados e lagoas que trocam massas de água entre si e com sistemas lacustres adjacentes (Lagoa Mirim). Uma das principais características de banhados (“wetlands”) são os altos níveis de produção primária, relacionados principalmente a grande quantidade de macrófitas aquáticas presentes nestes ecossistemas, que associados a intensas variações dos níveis e dos fluxos de água, fazem com que estes tenham importância primordial na bacia da qual fazem parte no sentido de reterem ou exportarem biomassa detrítica e nutrientes. Neste sentido, esta dissertação pretende esclarecer sobre a dinâmica dos processos ecológicos ocorrentes em banhados e estabelecer metodologias que permitam uma melhor gestão dos recursos hídricos destes ecossistemas. Mais especificamente pretende definir e quantificar os padrões na exportação de matéria e nutrientes do Sistema Hidrológico do Taim para Lagoa Mirim e obter subsídios para compreender as influências destes banhados marginais em sistemas lacustres contíguos. Uma série de variáveis hidrometeorológicas (Precipitação, Velocidade do Vento e Nível da Coluna D’água) e físico-químico-biológicas (Temperatura, Condutividade, pH, ORP, Carbono Orgânico Total, DQO, Sólidos, Fósforo Total e Clorofila ) foram usadas para descrição do efluente e, ao longo do ano de 2002, duas campanhas paralelas realizaram coletas periódicas da água que deixa o banhado via as comportas drenagem situadas a norte do sistema Os resultados evidenciaram que grande parte do material transportado pelo efluente drenado do Sistema Hidrológico do Taim se encontra na forma dissolvida, além deste mostrar uma variação sazonal determinada principalmente pelos períodos de cheia e estiagem do banhado, que caracterizam o hidroperíodo, e pelo vento, fator constante e decisivo para a dinâmica de ecossistemas costeiros. A concentração de nutrientes na coluna d’água, e conseqüentemente carreada pelo efluente, é baixa, o que pode estar relacionado principalmente à rápida ciclagem e mobilização destes na biomassa vegetal.

A representação social dos professores da prática do letramento na educação infantil do município de Lagoa do Carro

Este estudo buscou analisar a Representação Social dos professores da prática do letramento na Educação Infantil; relacionar as representações sociais acerca do letramento da educação infantil e inovação pedagógica e identificar se essas representações orientam suas práticas em prol da construção do conhecimento da criança através da prática do letramento. O referencial orientador da investigação é a Teoria das Representações Sociais de Serge Moscovici. Assim como vários estudiosos do Letramento e Inovação Pedagógica, o objeto deste estudo foram tomados como referências no intuito de compreender a representação da relação entre a teoria e a prática bem como implicações para uma inovação pedagógica. No percurso metodológico, optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, por trazer uma descrição dos fenômenos apresentados no contexto, e que, de acordo Minayo (2001), nas Ciências Sociais, ocupa-se com um nível de realidade que não pode ser quantificado, por conseguinte trabalhando com o universo de significados, aspirações, motivos, valores, crenças e atitudes. O campo da pesquisa configurou-se em duas escolas da Rede Pública Municipal da cidade de Lagoa do Carro – Pernambuco/Brasil. Os participantes foram quarenta e quatro sujeitos entre eles trinta e cinco professores, quatro supervisores e cinco coordenadores pedagógicos. Os instrumentos utilizados para coleta e geração dos dados foram questionário, entrevista semi-estruturada e observação participante, os quais foram tratados pela análise de conteúdo proposto por Bardin (2010). Os resultados do estudo apontaram para a compreensão de uma prática que tem no letramento uma representação social de ser um processo de aquisição de leitura e escrita, tendo como inovação a utilização de métodos ou técnicas, revelando que o processo de formação não atingiu os aspectos necessários para caracterizar uma prática educativa inovadora em que o papel do professor seria de propor ambientes favoráveis a uma aprendizagem atuando como mediador e ao mesmo tempo de ser um aprendiz ao considerar a capacidade de reflexão apresentado pelas crianças, diferenciando de um paradigma fabril que persiste na organização tradicional das escolas.

Ecologia alimentar e reprodutiva da piaba-do-rabo-amarelo, Astyanax cf. lacustris (Reinhardt, 1874) (Osteichthyes: Characidae) na Lagoa do Piató, Assu, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil

The feeding habits and biological aspects of the reproductive cycle of two-spot astyanax, Astyanax cf. lacustris (Reinhardt, 1874) were investigated. Fish samples were captured on a monthly basis, using gillnets of 4 cm mesh size, from the Piató Lake, Assu, Rio Grande do Norte, during the period of September, 2006 to August, 2007. Physico-chemical parameters, such as, temperature, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen of the lake were registered. The monthly values of rainfall also were obtained. The 360 individuals captured, were measured, weighed, dissected, and stomach weight and the stage of gonadal maturity were registered. The stomach contents analyses were carried out based on volumetric method, points, frequency of occurrence and applying the Index of Relative Importance. The degrees of repletion of the stomachs were determined besides the Index of Repletion relating to feeding activity variations and frequency of ingestion with limnological parameters and rainfall. The food items identified were separated into distinct groups according to their origin. Sex ratio and Gonadosomatic Relation of females were verified to determine the spawning period and fecundity. The physico-chemical parameters presented the following annual mean values: temperature = 28.8ºC, electrical conductivity = 992.5 µS.cm-1; dissolved oxygen = 4.9 mg.L-1 during the study period. The annual mean of the rainfall was 63.5 mm. The results indicate that this species present an omnivorous feeding habit with a tendency towards insectivory, with an increase in feeding activity during the dry season. The aquatic oxygen to interfere very importance in the feeding activity than the others factors physico-chemicals of water and rainfall. There was a predominance of females, with a sex proportion of 1M:7F. The macroscopic characteristics of the ovaries and testicles revealed four stages of gonadal development: immature, maturing, mature and spent. A temporal variation was observed for the gonadal development of males and females. There was reproductive activity through out the year, with peaks in the months of February, April and June to correspond with the rain of precipitation of the region. The mean fecundity was 7.681 mature oocytes, varying from 4.476 to 12.036, with mean of 7.681. There was positive relation between fecundity and body mass. Condition Factor is not an efficient indicator of the reproductive period of this species. The species A. cf. lacustris is an opportunist and is well adapted to the conditions of the semi-arid Caatinga Biome

Comunidade fitoplanctônica e qualidade da água da lagoa do jiqui, parnamirim, rn

It is important to evaluate the quality of water for proper management of these resources, since the increase of environmental degradation and the multiple use of water resources are decreasing the quality of water consumed by living beings. The objective of this study was to characterize the phytoplankton community and its variations during periods of dray and rain in Jiqui Lake located in Parnamirim, RN. It was also aimed to analyze the physical and chemical factors of this environment, in order to contribute to the knowledge of water quality used for human consumption. The collection of water samples were carried out in September 2008 to August 2009. The collection of the phytoplankton community was carried out in four sampling sites (surface, bottom, margin of the lake without macrophytes and site dominated by macrophytes). Phytoplankton was collected using plankton net of 20m. The analysis of nutrients and identification of phytoplankton were performed in the laboratory. The results indicate that concentration of chlorophyll a was high in the bottom with mean value of 1.07 μgL-1 (SD ± 1.61). During the study period there was a dominance of the following species: Euglena gracilis, Trachelomonas sp, Cyclotellas sp, Gomphonema apuncto, Navicula cuspidata var. cuspidata, Navicula sp, Rhopalodia gibba. There was homogeneity between limnological values in the four study sites, with significant difference between the periods of drought and rain. The Jiqui Lake is considered oligotrophic due to its low concentrations of chlorophyll a, high transparency and low levels of nutrients. The values of BOD and chlorophyll a concentration remained below the permitted standards existing for freshwaters in Brazil, thus the water from Lake Jiqui is of good quality, suitable for human consumption.

Programa alfabetização solidária: um estudo sobre a experiência no município de Lagoa de Pedras/RN (1997 - 2003)

The educational reform of the 90 s was tainted by the objectives of the fiscal adjustments, resulting in the redefinition of the state s role in the financing and offering of teaching services, and bringing about a shuffling of the responsibility between the public and private sectors to promote education to young people and adults. The 90 s also highlighted the proliferation of providers and the multiplication of Educational Programs for Youths and Adults (EJA), implemented through partnerships between governmental and nongovernmental agencies. During this period of time, the agenda of educational responsibilities concerning analphabetism was organized in a process of decentralized of the state, with the following political, social, and economic objectives: to reduce the public deficit, increasing public savings and the financial capacity of the state to concentrate resources in areas considered indispensable to direct intervention; to increase the efficiency of the social services moffered or funded by the state, giving citizens more at a lower cost, and spreading services to more remote areas, expanding access to reach those most in need; to increase the participation of citizens in public management, stimulating communitarian acts as well as developing efforts towards the effective coordination of public figures in the implementation of associated social services. Thus, Assistance Programs co-financed by the government try to deal with the problem of analphabetism. Within the sphere of the 90 s educational policy decentralization, we come to see how the agenda dedicated to the reduction of analphabetism was formed by the Solidarity Alphabetization Program (PAS). Between 1997 and 2003, the latter agenda s decentralizing proposal was integrated in the management partnership for the operationalization of tasks and resources faced with the execution of the formal objectives. In this study, we identify the dimensions of the implantation and progress of the tasks carried out by PAS, in the municipality of Lagoa de Pedras/RN. However, we consider these Programs to assist in the process without guaranteeing the reduction of the causes or substituting the responsibility of the system once the monetary resources for program maintenance provided by the partners is exhausted
