Agricultura urbana com enfoque na agrobiodiversidade em uma cidade de pequeno porte do estado de São Paulo

A agricultura em ambientes urbanos (AU) é um fenômeno socioambiental crescente em todo o mundo e pode estar associada à promoção de segurança alimentar e nutricional de uma população. No Brasil, o movimento da revolução verde favoreceu a monocultura e a concentração da posse da terra, que, decorrentemente impulsionaram o êxodo rural, em que os pequenos agricultores, na busca por melhores condições de vida, se locomoveram aos centros urbanos. O município de Santa Gertrudes, localizado no interior do estado de São Paulo, apresenta 98% dos habitantes residindo na zona urbana. O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender a agricultura urbana do Município de Santa Gertrudes, abordando: o perfil dos agricultores, as suas motivações, os seus locais de plantio e suas escolhas de cultivos, enfocando principalmente em lotes vagos na malha urbana. O estudo foi realizado em três etapas a partir de uma abordagem etnobotânica: 1) mapeamento dos lotes cultivados, 2) censo que abordou as questões socioeconômicas e de cultivo e 3) estudo detalhado com uma amostra determinada aleatoriamente, que aborda as condições socioeconômicas dos agricultores, suas histórias de vida, a caracterização do ambiente de plantio e o levantamento das espécies cultivadas, a partir de um inventário, com ênfase em raízes e tubérculos. Para o levantamento dos mesmos utilizou-se de entrevistas estruturadas e semi-estruturadas. As análises dos dados foram realizadas de maneira descritiva. Foram encontrados 52 lotes cultivados, destes, 43 participaram do censo e 20 da amostra. Os agricultores são representados principalmente por homens, a maioria é idosa e migrante de zonas rurais e grande parcela destes é oriunda do estado de Minas Gerais. Mais da metade dos lotes cultivados estão em áreas institucionais. As atividades realizadas são voluntárias e motivadas em grande parte por interesses individuais, trazendo benefícios para os praticantes em...

Avaliação da conformidade dos blocos cerâmicos produzidos em algumas cerâmicas no Rio Grande do Norte

The final quality of the works accomplished by the building construction industry depends directly on the quality of the materials supplied and used during all their phases of execution. The federal government participation and several state programs have established conditions to stimulate and require the increment of the quality level in the building construction industry´s product chain. These programs aim at the product conformity to the technical standards. Within this context, the evaluation program of the ceramic product conformity in Rio Grande do Norte state is assessing the conformity degree to Brazilian Technical Standards of ceramic bricks and tiles made in the ceramic production area in the state. In this work, is determine the degree of conformity of the sealing ceramic bricks made by some companies in different areas of the state, such as Assú, São Gonçalo do Amarante, Apodi, Parelhas, São José do Mipibu e Macaíba. Using the technical standards as a point of reference, we attempted to reproduce in the laboratory the experimental procedures to the analysis execution, according to the specifications. It was possible to determine that none of the evaluated samples are in strict conformity with the current technical standards, what reflects the real situation of the products available on the market.

Avaliação da conformidade de blocos cerâmicos para alvenaria de vedação produzidas na Região Integrada de Desenvolvimento da Grande Teresina

This research presents an outlook of the industries of red ceramic in the region next to the city of Teresina and an analysis of the ceramic products producted in this pole. The microregion investigated possesses 13 boroughs where were identified 32 ceramic in operation, being that 24 are located in Teresina, the ceramic region more important of Piauí, 1 is located in the city of Miguel Leão and 7 is located in Timon city that belongs to the state of Maranhão. The majority of ceramics are pulverized in these two cities, Teresina and Timon , responsible by a largely production independent of distance between fabric and consumer market. Furthermore, there is an artisanal production realized in other boroughs, mainly manual conformation bricks, where are producted diverse types of handicraft and ceramics utilitarian. The objective of this research is to evalue the conformity of ceramic blocks for brick of obstruction made by red ceramic industry of microregion at studying, verifying their pontentialities and adequacy in terms of production. In this research universe made a search of ceramic industries related to the Foundation CEPRO (Foundation Center of Research Social and Economic of Piauí). For the analysis of the ceramic products , were colected 60 crude bricks sample in three industries for their characterization, and 39 burned bricks sample for the Evaluation of Conformity. The results of the characterization made reached a accetptable standard in all formulations and temperature studied. The burned samples were applied to the geometric, physical and mechanical assays according to the ABNT standards (Brazilian Association of Technical Standards). The results of the physical assays showed that all the samples are at the same band recommended by standard. However, through the geometric assays just two industries did not present results according to the standard, due to lack of control in their process such as in their equipments. Taking into account the mechanical properties, only one industry investigated was not according to the standard

Estudo da adição do resíduo proveniente da extração de minério de ferro em argilas do Rio Grande do Norte

The mining industry is responsible for the generation of waste from their natural process of extraction. The mining impacts in urban areas are of special importance due to the high urban occupation, which are exacerbated due to the proximity of the mined areas and populated areas. Some solutions to wastedisposal have the potential to significantly reduce the environmental risks and liabilities, but represent higher costs in the stages of deployment and operation. The addition of mining waste as raw material in the development of commercial products reduces the environmental impacts, transforming the waste into a positive element in the generation of employment and income. This thesis studies the incorporation of waste iron ore in two clays, one from the ceramic industry of the City of Natal and the other from the ceramic industry of the Seridó Region, both in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Percentages of iron ore waste of 5%, 10% , 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% were used in the tested ceramic matrix. The two clays and the iron ore waste used as part of this investigation were characterized by X-ray diffraction tests, X-ray fluorescence tests, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and dilatometric analysis. The samples were sintered under temperatures of 850 °C, 950 °C and 1050°C at a heating rate of 5 °C/min with isotherms of two hours. The following tests were performed with the samples: linear shrinkage, water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent density, mass loss in fire and bending resistance in order to obtain their physical and mechanical properties. An amount of 5% of waste iron ore in the matrix clay at a temperature of 850 0C resulted in na increase of about 65% in the tensile strength of the clay samples from the Natal ceramic industry. A linear shrinkage of only 0.12% was observed for the samples, which indicates that the physical properties of the final product were not influenced by the addition of the waste

Uso da capoeira na extração de lenha: em três comunidades locais no pólo Rio Capim do PROAMBIENTE-PA

A lenha é um dos produtos de fundamental importância para os pequenos agricultores, por ser a principal fonte de energia calorífica usada em suas atividades cotidianas. É obtida a partir do roçado e da vegetação secundária, e utilizadas por esses agricultores. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram de identificar quais as principais espécies florestais usadas pelos produtores para obtenção de lenha a partir das práticas dos agricultores; estimar o consumo de lenha por pessoa; analisar as características químicas, físicas e energéticas da lenha e averiguar suas potencialidades para produção de carvão e gases condensáveis. A pesquisa foi realizada em três comunidades locais: São José do Itabocal e Fé em Deus, ambos em São Domingos do Capim e, Santa Rita, em Mãe do Rio, todas pertencentes ao Pólo Rio Capim do Programa PROAMBIENTE, nordeste do Pará. O método utilizado foi o de estudo de caso múltiplo, utilizando-se de várias ferramentas, como pesquisa de campo, com entrevistas, questionários, observação direta, agenda de campo, além de análise de laboratório das características físicas, químicas e energéticas da lenha. Entre os resultados destaca-se que 61,3% dos agricultores necessitam da lenha para dois fins: casa de farinha, onde é o principal combustível utilizado para o preparo da farinha de mandioca, e na cocção de alimentos, sendo Itabocal a comunidade mais dependente desta fonte calorífica. Foram encontradas 14 árvores utilizadas como combustível, destacando-se o lacre, a mitaceira e o ingá. Obteve-se o consumo de lenha, por pessoa, na ordem de 3,80, 3,68 e 2,51 kg/pessoa/dia para as comunidades de Fé em Deus, Itabocal e Santa Rita, respectivamente. Para a produção de lenha e de carvão vegetal, sobressaíram a mitaceira e o ingá com base, principalmente, nas massas específicas aparentes do material analisado das referidas espécies (0,52 g/cm3 e 0,53 g/cm3, respectivamente) para a escolha como lenha; e, no rendimento em carbono fixo, para a escolha de uso como carvão, estatisticamente superiores ao da terceira espécie florestal analisada (lacre), 24,15% e 23,70%, respectivamente. Para a produção de gases condensáveis, destaca-se o lacre (com Rendimento em Gases Condensáveis = 44,93%), com grande potencial de uso por parte dos agricultores familiares
