Cobertura verde: estudo de caso no município de São José dos Campos - SP

Guided by the concepts of bioclimatic architecture and wide range of benefits , the green roof stands out as one of the ecological techniques indicated to minimize weather disturbances arising from urbanization. However, little is known what are the reasons that are preventing its spread between the construction methods. To try to understand this unfavorable scenario , we collected technical , historical and urban information of São José dos Campos, where we attempted to analyze the potential of green roof as a tool against the negative effects of heat island

It uses as geographical units the areas belonging to each police districts and takes in account spatial effects among the variables. The results show important differences when we deal with crime against people and crime against property.

Conhecimento odontológico de adultos atendidos em uma unidade de saúde da família do município de São Carlos, Brasil

The Family Health Strategy is a primary care public policy that is becoming a decisive step towards the transformation of the Brazilian healthcare model. This study evaluated the dental knowledge among individuals who attended a Family-Health Unit (FHU) in the city of São Carlos, SP, Brazil. Methods: The evaluation was based on a questionnaire with 20 questions about oral health, prevention and development of dental caries and periodontal disease. The questionnaire was given to 168 individuals, over 18 years of age and both sexes, to fill out under the supervision of a trained dentist. After data collection, the answers contained in the original questionnaires were entered into a database built using the program Excel® (Microsoft Corporation, USA) and a descriptive statistical analysis was done. Results: 66.67% of the subjects reported having received information about dental caries and periodontal disease before attending the FHU, and dentists were cited as the main source of such information (60.71%). With regard to dental caries, 70.24% of the individuals stated that they knew about the subject, but the majority of answers revealed incorrect explanation of it. The multifactorial etiology (bacteria/sugar/poor hygiene) was not mentioned. A low percentage of subjects (24.40%) claimed to know what periodontal disease is, and of these, the highest percentage of responses was related to gingivitis (26.83%) and gingival bleeding (12.20%). Out of all subjects, 80.36% affirmed that oral hygiene is important, and among them, the main reasons cited were the maintenance of oral health (29.63%), to avoid diseases (16.30%) and to preserve and prevent disease (14.81%). Conclusion: Responses from the questionnaires revealed deficient dental knowledge among the individuals. To improve the understanding about this issue, the information obtained through the questionnaire can be used to develop educational programs that will focus specifically on the major deficiencies found.

Fenologia reprodutiva e distribuição espacial de Oeceoclades maculata (Lindl.) Lindl. (Orchidaceae) em Cerrado do município de Mogi Guaçu, São Paulo, Brasil

Oeceoclades aculate (Lindl.) Lindl., an invasive orchid, was analyzed as to its reproductive phenology and spatial distribution, correlation between abundance of mature and immature individuals, and verifying these with microclimate patterns in the Cerrado (savanna-like vegetation) of Mogi Guacu, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. For the reproductive phenology 100 plants were followed and the distribution pattern was identified by the Morisita Index (MI) and the Variance Ratio/Average (R) in 20 plots of 20x10m, reduced to 10x10m afterwards. The phenology presented seasonality, with flowering from November to February, fructification from February to June, and dehiscence from June to July. Mature and immature individuals aggregated and correlated to each other, indicating dependence between the ontogenetic stages. The luminosity was the preponderant microclimatic factor in the allocation of plants. Seasonal climatic changes and intensity of anthropogenic disturbances seem to be more important for the establishment of the species than microclimate.

Diversidade de ictiofauna em trecho do riacho Taquaral no município de Itu, São Paulo

Este estudo foi desenvolvido no riacho Taquaral, que integra a Bacia hidrográfica do Pirapitingui, localizado na cidade de Itu, estado de São Paulo. A pesquisa foi conduzida com a finalidade de comparar a diversidade da ictiofauna em três pontos distintos de um trecho do riacho, além de obter variáveis ambientais físicas e químicas que poderiam distinguir as características abióticas e influenciar as particularidades bióticas de cada ponto. As coletas foram realizadas com materiais de pesca que consistiram em redes de espera, peneira e armadilhas de fundo do tipo covo. Uma lista das espécies foi elaborada utilizando-se de cálculo de riqueza, abundância relativa e abundância total por ambiente amostrado para então realizar as análises de diversidade se utilizando do Índice de Shannon por local de coleta, o qual assume que os indivíduos são amostrados ao acaso com origem em uma população indefinidamente grande e que todas as espécies são representadas na amostra. Além desse índice foram considerados os índices de similaridade de Jaccard, que compara a similaridade das espécies de dois locais levando em conta a presença ou ausência das espécies e o Índice de Morisita -Horn que abrange também a abundância dessas espécies. No total foram capturados 3490 exemplares pertencentes a 5 ordens e 7 famílias, em um total de 15 espécies, sendo que em um dos pontos (ponto1) foi observado menor quantidade de espécies e menor número de exemplares (8 espécies e 49 exemplares). Os demais pontos (pontos 2 e 3) obtiveram igual número de espécies (13), além dos maiores números em exemplares ( 1447 e 1994, respectivamente). Os resultados apontam a existência de diferenças nas características ambientais, também resultantes de influências antrópicas na região e consequente diferenciação na diversidade dos três pontos amostrados. A diversidade observada no Ponto 1, a partir do Índice de Shannon, foi a maior em...

Diagnóstico ambiental em área com vazamento de combustíveis por meio da integração de dados geofísicos e geoquímicos no município de São Manuel - SP

The contamination of the physical environment occurs as a result of the lack of planning and inadequate management of hazardous products. Due to the difficulty of the characterization and study of soil and groundwater, the contamination has been long neglected. The characterization of these areas by research techniques through direct methods such as physical and chemical analysis, are widely used in the diagnosis and monitoring. However, despite presenting quantitative results, this method is not representative in spatial terms. The purpose of this work is to bring geophysical complementation with the diagnosis, bringing the spatial element for the detection of the contamination plume. In the study area, there was a railway accident in 1999 in which three wagons fell and spilled 240,000 L of diesel onto the soil. The main objective is to assess the presence of contaminants in the residual phase and dissolved in the subsurface, using the technique of Electrical Tomography (ETR), understand the effects of natural attenuation process in the degradation of hydrocarbons and changes in electrical properties in soil and groundwater. The results allowed the definition of three distinct patterns of resistivity region with presence of dissolved phase, set in a historical chemical analyzes: low values (> 60Ω.m) associated with the presence of hydrocarbons in an advanced stage of degradation, intermediate values (260Ω.me 511Ω .m) indicative of coexistence of residual hydrocarbons and dissolved phase, and high values (> 1000Ω.m), which reveal the prevalence of residual phase with incipient degradation, possibly in high toxicity concentrations for effective action of biodegradation processes. The diagnostic of areas with potential accumulation of residual phase can subsidize the planning of remediation techniques and promote the complete decontamination of the area

Qualidade de água utilizada para consumo em escolas e creches no município de São Carlos - SP

We know the importance of treating water for human consumption because changes in the physicochemical and / or biological has been associated with various health problems, the quality of water intended for human consumption must meet potability standards established by governmental decree 518/2004. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of water supplied schools and daycare in the city of São Carlos - SP. We selected 31 schools and kindergartens, and at intervals of 3 months, two water samples taken at three different points - network, tank and fi lter - totaling 186 samples, with an interval of three months, to verify possible differences in sampling points and at different times. The samples were evaluated for the following parameters: presence of total coliform and fecal coliform / E. coli count of heterotrophic bacteria, determination of pH, fl uoride, free residual chlorine, turbidity and color. The largest number of samples outside the standard for coliform was coming from the fi lters and the network, heterotrophic bacteria in most samples was taken out of standard fi lters. In the physical-chemical analysis of samples as many non-standard pH occurred in the network, network, and fl uoride in the fi lter pair in the fi lter to free chlorine and turbidity in the reservoir. The parameter with a larger sample size was inadequate fl uoride. We need more attention to the conservation, cleaning and maintenance of building reservoirs and fi lters in schools and kindergartens of San Carlos, since the water was considered unfi t for consumption.

Prevalência de acidentes com material biológico em um município do noroeste de São Paulo, Brasil, no período de 2007 a 2011

The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of reports of accidents involving biological material which affected health professionals, especially dental health ones, in a city in the north­western region of São Paulo State, Brazil. Data collection was con­ducted through the notification of accidents with biological material from 2007 to 2011. There were 377 notifications, in which 353 (93.6%) had female professionals involved. The most reported type of exposure was the percutaneous in 359 cases (95.2%) followed by blood in 334 cases (88.6%) which is the most mentioned biological material in the reports. Only 21 (5.6%) notifications were from den­tal staff and occurred mostly with the dentist, 14 times (66.7%) and 16 times (76.2%) during clinical procedures. The prevalence of bio­logical accidents among dental teams was little in this time, which suggests the possibility of underreporting, in addition to being sub­ject to the partial fulfillment of the same.
