Movimentos sociais e reivindicações populares em torno das empresas de transformação mineral em Barcarena: um estudo da atuação das associações de moradores e trabalhadores rurais

A pesquisa trata da atuação dos movimentos sociais ocorridos no entorno do complexo industrial de Barcarena, após a implantação das empresas Albrás, Alunorte e Pará Pigmentos, que deram origem às associações de moradores e produtores rurais. O objetivo é a identificação dos principais movimentos surgidos e existentes, analisando-os à luz da Teoria dos Novos Movimentos Sociais. A partir de uma pesquisa exploratória, alicerçada no referencial bibliográfico, busca-se ainda verificar as vertentes pelas quais enveredaram os movimentos sociais que deram origem às entidades representativas no município. A pesquisa de campo realizou-se entre os anos de 2003 e 2004 junto a 15 associações existentes em Barcarena e que envolvem 18 comunidades rurais e urbanas, onde se aplicou questionários para verificar como estas encaminhando suas reivindicações e se relacionando com os poderes locais. Foram realizadas ainda entrevistas com técnicos das empresas e da Prefeitura e com antigos moradores. Dentre os resultados da análise de dados, pode-se afirmar há uma diferença entre as aspirações dos movimentos sociais urbanos e rurais, mas as principais reivindicações referem-se a melhoria da infraestrutura, saúde, educação e desenvolvimento agrícola. A identificação dos principais movimentos sociais em Barcarena foi um dos resultados esperados no decorrer da pesquisa, pois não se pode afirmar que exista um típico movimento social em Barcarena que faça contraponto às empresas no sentido de protesto, mas o movimento existe e é bastante ativo nos moldes dos novos movimentos sociais. Conclui-se que no enfrentamento cotidiano entre empresas e comunidades, o que prevalece é a categoria de movimento popular, onde as reivindicações coletivas voltam-se para a melhoria das condições de vida e de aspectos que envolvem seu cotidiano, além, é claro, da defesa de seu modo de produção e reprodução de vida.

Caracterização da atividade pesqueira em Vila do Conde (Barcarena, Pará), no estuário amazônico

A região de Vila do Conde é um importante pólo industrial no sul da baía de Marajó. Apesar da importância da pesca e da vulnerabilidade da região em relação ao impacto ambiental, não há nenhum estudo aprofundado sobre a pesca e a ictiofauna na área. Com o objetivo de descrever a atividade pesqueira na região, desembarques pesqueiros foram acompanhados na praia do Conde, de dezembro de 2005 a novembro de 2006. O índice de abundância relativa, captura por unidade de esforço (CPUE em kg/viagem), foi utilizado para identificar períodos, espécies e frotas mais relevantes da atividade pesqueira. Foram cadastradas 43 embarcações pesqueiras, sendo dominantes os barcos de pequeno porte. A principal arte de captura utilizada pela frota foi o espinhel. As principais espécies comerciais identificadas foram Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii (dourada), Plagioscion squamosissimus (pescada-branca), Pellona flavipinnis e P. castelnaeana (sarda) e B. filamentosum (filhote). As embarcações capturaram, em média, 19 kg/viagem. A produtividade entre as motorizadas foi superior ao registrado pelas não motorizadas. Foram observados dois picos de produção, em janeiro e em setembro/outubro. A receita bruta oriunda da comercialização do pescado ultrapassou os R$ 100.000,00, sendo os barcos de pequeno porte responsáveis por 36% da captura total.

Anatomia foliar e análise de EDX de Costus spiralis (Jacq.) Roscoe de ambiente impactado e não impactado do litoral de São Paulo.

Several plants show morphological changes when exposed to environmental stress. We aimed to analyze comparative anatomy and EDX (energy dispersive x-ray detector) of Costus spiralis (Jacq.) Roscoe leaves from Jureia-Itatins Ecological Station (Peruibe, Sao Paulo), a preserved area, and Mogi River Valley (Cubatao, Sao Paulo) an affected area by pollution from the industrial complex of Cubatao. There were some significant differences in the leaves from the affected area, where they had a smaller abaxial hypoderm, larger size of adaxial hypoderm and larger central vascular core. There were damages in epicuticular wax deposition. The EDX analyses presented only differences in calcium and potassium concentration and presence of manganese in Cubatdo samples. Those leaves presented crystal deposition in the vascular core, probably because of the phosphogypsum residues from fertilizer industries.

Planejamento ambiental do distrito de Ameliópolis – Presidente Prudente - SP

The concern with the environmental planning has become important in Brazil recently. Until then, nature was conceived as a resource, because of the implementation of developmental policies that perdured to the 1970s, based on the expansion of the industrial complex, altogether hadn´t preoccupation by the federal government with the relationship between society and nature. During this period, after the threat of not receiving more international investment to finance large projects in the country, accompanied by pressure from civil society organizations, the federal government began to take some action related to the environment, such as the creation of federal agencies (IBAMA), application of environmental laws and decrees in order to create rules for the proper use of natural resources such as water, soil and air. From the decade of 1990 onwards the master plans have become a mandatory document for all municipalities in the country with a population over 20,000 inhabitants, ranging from health issues to the development of urban, rural and environmental planning. Thus, the environmental planning gained prominence in the political scene. Therefore, to achieve environmental planning is necessary to follow some social and environmental parameters, which for this survey, conducted in the District of Ameliópolis – Presidente Prudente...

Cidade média de limiar superior: um estudo a partir de Ribeirão Preto (SP)

This papper aims to discuss Ribeirão Preto as a switched-over intermediate city classification, contrastating with the concept of Metropolitan Region of Ribeirão Preto. The agribusiness sector will be analysed as the main responsible for the representation of Ribeirão Preto city as an Agribusiness Center. Due to this fact, Sertãozinho city example will be presented as Agribusiness City, where acctually concentrates the agro-industrial complex of sugarcane production, while Ribeirão Preto is in fact centralizes management activities. According to the balance of trade analysis, other elements showed up and fortifies the role of this cities. These elements unfolded the analysis of higher education guideline and shopping malls. We also analyzed the urban network of Ribeirão Preto under the concept of the Região de Influência das Cidades (REGIC) and the creation of the project Metropolitan Region of Ribeirão Preto in order to strengthen the central hypothesis as a switched-over medium sized city. In order to reach this point, besides the analysis of the data we had t literature review of the Medium Sized Cities and Urban Network concepts and Spatial Interactions and Switched- over terms

Evidence of contamination by oil and oil products in the Santos-São Vicente estuary, São Paulo, Brazil

Different components of the mixed function oxidase (MFO) system and the levels of fluorescent aromatic compounds in bile (FACs) were measured in Cathorops spixii in order to assess the impact of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Fish were sampled in an estuary (Santos/Sao Vicente) with a history of contamination by PAHs, mainly due to the presence of the industrial complex of Cubatao city and of another of low anthropogenic influence (Cananeia) on the Brazilian coast. FACs were higher in fish from the polluted site, and the PAH 5 and 6-ring metabolites were the most frequent - with 14% and 15%, respectively. Levels of the different components of the MFO system showed the same variation profile as the FACs for both estuaries. Therefore, the values found for somatic indexes and biomarkers with data of bile PAH metabolites indicate the presence of organic contaminants, especially in the area subject to the influence of the industrial complex on the Santos/Sao Vicente estuary.

Development of cassava cake enriched with its own bran and Spirulina platensis

The cassava cake was developed enriching it with a biomass of Spirulina platensis and a type of bran made out of its own starch. This biomass, a part from being rich in protein, also contains vitamins, essential fatty acids and minerals. Around Umuarama, in the State of Parana, there is an agricultural/industrial complex annually producing and processing tons of cassava. Baked goods can be elaborated based in cassava as a way to expand the use of this raw material and to produce food free of gluten to celiac people. In this complex a solid byproduct is generated, which is rich in starch and fibres, and because of its low commercial value it is used for animal feed or discarded. The bran was dehydrated and analysed microbiologically as well as physically and chemically so as to be used in applied research. Developed energetic food based on cassava lacks protein, but this can be supplied by adding the biomass of Spirulina platensis. Different formulations of this cassava cake were developed varying the concentration of Spirulina platensis and cassava bran. The formulation that presented the best features received chocolate before being submitted to sensory tests by children in the public education system. The results show an excellent acceptance which made viable the development of this product because of aspects like nutrition, technology and sensorial.
