Este documento faz a análise do associativismo em Cabo Verde nos territórios rurais da ilha de Santiago. Apresenta o estudo de caso de três associações comunitárias da ilha, focaliza os principais parceiros, as actividades desenvolvidas, o seu funcionamento e o contributo dos mesmos no desenvolvimento local/comunitário. A Analise comparativa demonstra uma proximidade dessas associações quanto a origem, (impulso da ajuda externa), objectivos e as acções desenvolvidas apesar de localizarem em áreas geográficas distintas. As acções desenvolvidas variam de acordo com a necessidade de cada comunidade e são desenvolvidas com base nos contratosprograma. A participação defendida como o ideal para a implementação dos projectos e o funcionamento da organização ficou explícita no trabalho de campo, que na realidade muitos dos membros não o exercem. Espera-se que este documento venha a contribuir para o conhecimento da actividade associativa em Cabo Verde em geral e na ilha de Santiago em particular.

on agricultural hydraulics and rural development has been the main activity of the author in the last two decades. A large part of the professional career was devoted to studies and design of hydraulic infrastructures for the establishment of irrigation in Portugal. The recent years of his professional career focused on the internationalization of consulting services by drafting general plans, technical advises, design projects, training and specialized technical assistance to farmers and technicians. Angola and Cape Verde have been the stage of action. The present document was written with two main objectives: to obtain a Master of Science degree and to share with the community some relevant aspects of author’s work experience. The document was structured to emphasize three major units: the agricultural hydraulics, rural development and studies and projects. For these units were selected groups of activities considered relevant to the author's career: Alqueva Multi-Purpose Scheme, Rehabilitation and Modernization of Hydro-agricultural Schemes, Other Studies and Projects, Master Plans and Reports and Agriculture and Rural Development. In every activity is highlighted the aspects considered most important and which reflect the author's experience.

We present the first approach to the genetic diversity and structure of the Balearic toad (Bufo balearicus Boettger, 1880) for the island of Menorca. Forty-one individ- uals from 21 localities were analyzed for ten microsatellite loci. We used geo-refer- enced individual multilocus genotypes and a model-based clustering method for the inference of the number of populations and of the spatial location of genetic dis- continuities between those populations.¦Only six of the microsatellites analyzed were polymorphic. We revealed a northwest- ern area inhabited by a single population with several well-connected localities and another set of populations in the southeast that includes a few unconnected small units with genetically significant differences among them as well as with the individ- uals from the northwest of the island. The observed fragmentation may be explained by shifts from agricultural to tourism practices that have been taking place on the island of Menorca since the 1960s. The abandonment of rural activities in favor of urbanization and concomitant service areas has mostly affected the southeast of the island and is currently threatening the overall geographic connectivity between the different farming areas of the island that are inhabited by the Balearic toad.

O trabalho agora concluído pretende apresentar uma proposta de desenvolvimento do turismo rural para São Tomé. Baseado na análise de estudo de caso de outros países, com objectivo de propor actividades turísticas envolvendo a comunidade local e os representantes do turismo, o estudo tenciona contribuir para a construção de uma imagem positiva da roça de Monte Café e suas dependências, visando o seu desenvolvimento. A referida Roça, enquanto um património arquitectónico, histórico, cultural, agroeconómico e natural, oferece as condições necessárias para a prática de turismo, relacionadas com a aventura, o espaço rural e a ecologia. Tais aspectos, aliados a uma infra-estrutura e a um planeamento adequado, tornam-se um excelente produto turístico. Com aplicação do inquérito por questionário para os residentes, comprova-se a possibilidade de implementação do projecto do ponto de vista social, desde que seja planeado de forma a prever impactos negativos e positivos futuros, e garantir um turismo sustentável.

This paper analyzes the different equilibria in rural-urban migrationsand political redistribution that result from the interaction betweenincreasing political returns, the distribution of land, and creditmarket imperfections. Governments that put a special weight on thewelfare of urban workers when setting agricultural prices generate apolitical externality in the urban sector, giving peasants anincentive to migrate in anticipation of policy determination. Ifcredit markets are imperfect, land ownership confers higherproductivity to peasants, who require large price changes to migrate.In this context, land inequality would lead to large migrations and tolarge policy change, while an egalitarian land distribution would leadto no migration and to a small policy change. This interaction shedslight on the contrasting experience of Latin America and East Asia atthe outset of World War II.

Mites associated to Xylopia aromatica (Lam.) Mart. (Annonaceae) in urban and rural fragments of semidecidual forest. Native plants can shelter a great diversity of mites. Notwithstanding, the conservation of the forest fragments where the plants are located can influence the structure of the mites community. Generally, in homogenous environments the diversity is lower due to the dominance of one or a few species. In this work, we studied the mite community on Xylopia aromatica (Lam.) Mart. (Annonaceae) in two fragments of semidecidual forest: one on rural and other on urban area. Seven individuals of X. aromatica were monthly sampled from April 2007 to March 2008, in each of these fragments. Descriptive indexes of diversity, dominance and evenness were applied to verify the ecological patterns of the mite community, besides the Student's t-test to compare the abundance between the fragments. We collected 27,365 mites of 37 species belonging to 11 families. Calacarus sp. (Eriophyidae) was the most abundant species, representing 73% of the total sampled. The abundance was greater in the urban fragment (67.7%), with the diversity index reaching only 25% of the theoretical maximum expected. Probably, these values might have been influenced by the location of this fragment in the urban area, being more homogeneous and submitted directly to the presence of atmospheric pollution. In this manner, X. aromatica is able to shelter a higher diversity of mites when inserted in preserved ecosystems, since the highest diversity of available resources allows the establishment of richer and most diverse mite community.

En aquest treball s’ha volgut estudiar la influència de la percepció de la pell en la determinació de la bellesa del rostre segons el canon de bellesa femení a la Xina i a Espanya. L’elecció d’aquests dos països, i cultures, ens ha permès estudiar com un mateix producte ha de presentar-se de manera diferent atenent al pape que juga la claredat de la pell del rostre i l’existència de taques segons el cànon de bellesa femení pres com a referència. Hem centrat la nostra atenció en la reconducció dels missatges a les xarxes socials i fòrums d’internet en els quals es parla de bellesa i salud. Per a això, s’han escollit quatre plataformes: Bbs.pclady.com, Enfenemino.com, Weibo.com, Twitter.com

O presente trabalho intitulado “Género e Desenvolvimento Rural - As mulheres de Chã de Cana enquanto actores de desenvolvimento local”: atenta para outras dimensões do desenvolvimento rural, com o objectivo de desmistificar cada vez mais a complexidade que caracteriza essa categoria social, com realce para as particularidades de género e da ruralidade. O trabalho foi realizado com base na análise de informações recolhidas através de entrevistas, confrontadas com as várias abordagens e propostas de desenvolvimento, com maior ênfase para as abordagens territoriais, dando uma particular atenção à questão de género. O enfoque “mulher em desenvolvimento” deve ser entendido como uma forma diferenciada de engajamento das mulheres de Chã de Cana no processo de desenvolvimento local, engajamento esse que deve considerar as heterogeneidades de género como particularidades resultantes de um processo de construção social, de um sistema de símbolos e valores que, tende a ser orgânico portanto, se complementam num complexo processo de interacção social, e de sociabilidade, por vezes espontâneos.

This paper presents a comparison of the changes in the energetic metabolic pattern of China and India, the two most populated countries in the world, with two economies undergoing an important economic transition. The comparison of the changes in the energetic metabolic pattern has the scope to characterize and explain a bifurcation in their evolutionary path in the recent years, using the Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism (MuSIASEM) approach. The analysis shows an impressive transformation of China’s energy metabolism determined by the joining of the WTO in 2001. Since then, China became the largest factory of the world with a generalized capitalization of all sectors ―especially the industrial sector― boosting economic labor productivity as well as total energy consumption. India, on the contrary, lags behind when considering these factors. Looking at changes in the household sector (energy metabolism associated with final consumption) in the case of China, the energetic metabolic rate (EMR) soared in the last decade, also thanks to a reduced growth of population, whereas in India it remained stagnant for the last 40 years. This analysis indicates a big challenge for India for the next decade. In the light of the data analyzed both countries will continue to require strong injections of technical capital requiring a continuous increase in their total energy consumption. When considering the size of these economies it is easy to guess that this may induce a dramatic increase in the price of energy, an event that at the moment will penalize much more the chance of a quick economic development of India.
