Avaliação do efeito da inclinação e umidade antecedente na qualidade e quantidade das parcelas escoadas, percoladas e armazenadas em telhado verde extensivo

This study investigated the effect of slope and antecedent soil moisture on the water depth stored and percolated on extensive green roofs built in pilot scale. For this purpose, slopes of 10, 20 and 30% were investigated. Moisture was measured before and after each test in order to determine the differential moisture (∆U). The experimental runoff and percolated flow were analyzed by varying moisture and slope. Apparent color and turbidity were measured on runoff and percolated flow for each one of the modules. The results yielded that for the slopes of 10% the smaller values of runoff was obtained (average of 1,01% ± 0,7%). For the others slopes (20% and 30%), the runoffs were around 35% ± 15%. The sum of runoff and percolated water results in 77% (average) for slope of 10% and 80% for 20% and 30%. The slope and moisture have explained 87% of data for retained water and 81% for runoff. For percolated flow the inverse trend was observed. The retained water was 11,6±1,4mm for the module with 10% of slope, around 10,0±1,2 mm for the module with 20% of slope, and about 9,5±1,1 mm for the module with 30%. The results pointed out that both slope and antecedent moisture are crucial for runoff reduction and for material transportation.

Progressão continuada ou promoção automática?: possíveis compreensões a partir da experiência do Estado de São Paulo

Este trabalho tratou sobre o regime de progressão continuada, que foi implantado na rede pública de ensino do Estado de São Paulo em 1998, a partir da Deliberação do Conselho Estadual de Educação (CEE-SP) nº 09/1997, que pretendia uma reorganização escolar com a mudança do sistema seriado para a estruturação em ciclos.Criando assim novas formas de avaliação dos alunos e ainda, com a intenção de diminuir o fluxo da evasão escolar, abrir novas vagas, desonerar os cofres públicos, superar a fragmentação do currículo do ensino organizado em séries, entre outras demandas. Por meio de investigação qualitativa, levantamento bibliográfico e pesquisa documental,examinou-seo proposto com a implantação do regime de progressão continuada e dos ciclos no Estado de São Paulo e como ocorria a prática de promoção/aprovação automática dos alunos. Levantou-seos aspectos históricos e políticos relacionados a esta política pública educacional brasileira, indicando os inúmeros obstáculos enfrentados pelos professores e demais atores envolvidos nessa proposta, que se pretendeu progressista e includente, mas que, como podese perceber, uma vez que muitas das intenções estabelecidas na legislação não foram asseguradas, levou ao insucesso do regime de progressão continuada e da organização do ensino por ciclos no Estado Paulista, acarretando no Projeto de Lei nº 857/2015, que ainda se encontra em análise para posterior votação e indaga sobre a progressão continuada ter se transformado em promoção automática, na tentativa de destituí-la, com base nos resultados acerca da qualidade da educação básica das redes públicas do Estado de São Paulo, transparecidos, principalmente, a partir das avaliações externas e dos índices obtidos por elas

Construção de um indicador qualitativo (status de saúde) para avaliação da qualidade de saúde animal de propriedades rurais

Aiming at developing a tool for assessing the magnitude of farm animal health, an indicator named herd “animal health status” was built. To illustrate the construction of the indicator, serum samples were taken from 923 goats on 17 goat farms in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, where three diseases were evaluated along with their impact percentages: caprine arthritis encephalitis, toxoplasmosis and neosporose – all of an infectious and transmissible nature and the cause of considerable economic losses. The mathematical rationale underlying the building of the “animal health status” indicator ranks properties on a 0 - 100% scale in terms of disease positivity in the herd, with the lowest indicator value indicating the highest cumulative disease frequency (0% = all animals tested positive for the three diseases, 100% = all animals tested negative for all diseases). Anti-T. gondii, anti-N. caninum and anti-CAEV antibodies were tested using indirect immunofluorescence reaction (IIFR ≥ 16), Neospora agglutination test (NAT ≥ 25) and agarose gel immunodiffusion (AGID positive or negative), respectively. The animal health status of the farms ranged from 32.38% to 96.40% according to disease positivity. The animal health status value will have a direct reflection on the production chain both on and off the farm, providing not only great market advantages, due to how the expression of animal health will add value to livestock farms, as well as on the consumer who can check the quality of animal health at the beginning of the production chain.

Índices bióticos mono e multimétricos de avaliação da qualidade da água em riachos da Mata Atlântica

Protocols for rapid habitat evaluation and the biotic indices used in biomonitoring of streams in Brazil provide useful information about water quality and modifications in the ecosystem. However, the interpretation of their results is limited. Previous studies pointed out the low sensitivity of those indices to measure the quality of low-order streams, since they only measure organic impacts. Environmental degradation of these streams is mainly related to impacts caused by landscape change, such as erosion, siltation, channel change, loss of riparian vegetation, and reduction in water flow. The streams of the Serra do Japi are under some of these impacts, caused by agricultural activities. In this study, we evaluated whether the reduction of natural characteristics in these environments would decrease water quality. The Protocol of Habitat Diversity was affected by the impacts of agricultural activities. However, the other three biotic indices: Biological Monitoring Working Party Score System, Average Score Per Taxon, and Index of Benthic Community were not as sensitive to those impacts, since they all indicated a high water quality. An adaptation of the attributes and the scoring system is suggested for defining better policies for the conservation of this area.

Avaliação dos parâmetros do índice de qualidade de água segundo o modelo ARIMA

Time series tendencies are an important tool for different sectors such as the scientific community, industries and environmental protection agencies who can evaluate the variability of a specific parameter in time, what is very important piece of information for establishing corrective and preventive actions. This work presents a time series model of main physical, chemical and biological parameters of the Water Quality Index (WQI) determined for different selected points of a hydrographical basin form May/2006 to Aug/2010. The statistical model Arima enabled a better understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes that most clearly influences WQI. The Arima model allowed the assessment of the trend of several parameters used in the calculation of the WQI, showing that dissolved oxygen, turbidity, total nitrogen, and fecal E. coli were highly correlated and are the parameters that caused the index changes over time.

Teste de condutividade elétrica para avaliação da qualidade fisiológica de sementes de gergelim (Sesanun indicum L.)

Two experiments were conducted in order to study the effects of seed number, temperature and time of soaking sesame seeds on the results of the electrical conductivity test for physiological quality of seeds. In the experiment I evaluated the electrical conductivity varying the number of seeds (25, 50 and 100) and temperature (20, 25 and 30° C) in experiment II is different soaking periods (2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h). The tests were performed with three cultivars (cv. Trebol, cv. Cnpa G4 e cv. Comum). The treatments in factorial 3x3x3 and 3x8 in experiments I and II, respectively. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replications. Means were compared by Tukey test at 5% probability. The characterization of cultivars held through the germination and vigor tests (physical, physiological and biochemical), which rated the Trebol cultivar seeds with better physiological then the Cnpa G4 and Comum. The electrical conductivity test was conducted with four sub-samples of 25 pure seeds soaked in 75 mL of deionized water at 25° C, to separate the lots from 2 hours of soaking, being feasible to evaluate the quality sesame seeds.
