Background, aim, and scope Contaminated sediments are a worldwide problem, and mobilization of contaminants is one of the most critical issues in environmental risk assessment insofar as dredging projects are concerned. The investigation of how toxic compounds are mobilized during dredging operations in the channel of the Port of Santos, Brazil, was conducted in an attempt to assess changes in the bioavailability and toxicity of these contaminants.Materials and methods Bulk sediment samples and their interstitial waters and elutriates were subjected to chemical evaluation and ecotoxicological assessment. Samples were collected from the channel before dredging, from the dredge's hopper, and from the disposal site and its surroundings.Results The results indicate that the bulk sediments from the dredging site are contaminated moderately with As, Pb, and Zn and severely with Hg, and that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations are relatively high. Our results also show a 50% increase in PAH concentrations in suspended solids in the water collected from the hopper dredge. This finding is of great concern, since it refers to the dredge overflow water which is pumped back into the ecosystem. Acute toxicity tests on bulk sediment using the amphipod Tiburonella viscana showed no toxicity, while chronic tests with the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus showed toxicity in the interstitial waters and elutriates. Results are compared with widely used sediment quality guidelines and with a sediment quality assessment scheme based on various lines of evidence.Conclusions The data presented here indicate that the sediments collected in this port show a certain degree of contamination, especially those from the inner part of the channel. The classification established in this study indicated that sediments from the dredged channel are impacted detrimentally and that sea disposal may disperse contaminants. According to this classification, the sediments are inappropriate for disposal at sea. It should be emphasized that the poor quality of fine sediments discharged from the hopper dredge in the overflow process can recontaminate the environment.Recommendations and perspectives These findings will help to underpin improved planning of management strategies for dredging operations and sediment disposal in Brazil and other countries.

As regiões de ecossistemas costeiros como os mangues são áreas de grande fragilidade por responderem a processos naturais como aqueles associados à dinâmica flúvio-marinha, fragilizada na área de estudo pela intensa ação antrópica sofrida o longo do tempo. Essa fragilidade tem como conseqüência enchentes e o comprometimento do sistema manguezal, o que representa riscos diretos para a população local e indiretos para a sociedade. O objetivo principal dessa pesquisa consistiu em caracterizar as zonas de manguezais do município de Santos-SP considerando a fragilidade dessa área e seu processo de uso e ocupação, tendo como foco o período de 1980 a 2007, período no qual ocorreu significativo avanço urbano. O trabalho apresenta abordagem sistêmica, segundo Christofoletti (1979), que considera coerente a relação de diversos fatores na análise ambiental como subsídio à compreensão da dinâmica dos processos atuantes, considerando a relação de interdependência no funcionamento e dinâmica do sistema ambiental. Admite-se também que o sistema antrópico tem importante influência na análise da paisagem local refletindo níveis significativos de alteração no mecanismo sistêmico. Essa pesquisa foi realizada segundo as etapas propostas por Libault (1971), em que são considerados quatro níveis de estruturação processual no estudo da paisagem geográfica: compilatório, correlativo, semântico e normativo.

Nosso estudo analisa os reajustes e revisões de tarifas efetuadas nos Programas de Concessões Rodoviárias à iniciativa privada efetuados no Brasil entre Novembro de 1994 a Agosto de 2000. A idéia matriz dos programas de concessões é desonerar o Tesouro, liberando recursos orçamentários para outros fins; obter em prazo curto a recuperação básica das rodovias e a médio e longo prazo a expansão da malha; apostando na competência da iniciativa privada para fazê-lo Daí se põe o problema da tarifa e de seu reajuste e revisão, prevista como uma correlação necessária e inevitável para que as rodovias concedidas ao setor privado existam independentemente do orçamento do Governo que não tem recursos suficientes para todos os investimentos necessários em infra-estrutura rodoviária.

The present study analyzes the expansion of Brazilian superior education, investigating how the public and the private sectors are inserted in this process, taking as analysis dimensions the philanthropic actions, the democratization and the mercantilism. The study had for general objective to analyze the dynamics of the expansion of superior education in Brazil, investigating how it configures the overlap between the public and the private in this process. More specifically was tried: a) to understand the process of participation of the non-state public, state and private sectors with lucrative goals in the expansion of superior education; b) to analyze the limits between the democratization and mercantilism in the process of expansion of superior education; c) to analyze the mechanisms that express the privatization in the process of expansion of superior education; d) to investigate, in a program of the government, how is materialized the overlap between the public and the private, in the expansion of superior education. In the development of the study, was adopted as theoretician and methodological way a historical and critical perspective, because is considered it allows to understand the mediations between the inquiry subject and the historical context in which it is developed, allowing, this way, the true explanation of the studied object. About the technician procedures, it was adopted documentary and bibliographical research. Also, secondary data were searched on the main governmental web sites (INEP, SISPROUNI, INEP, PNUD; IBGE) which produce statistics on superior education and sponsors of private institutions of superior education, as example ABMES and the Court of Accounts of the Union, amongst others. The study results had delineated a picture that allows to evidence that has been occurring, in the country, a process of expansion of superior education, marked for the articulated participation of the public state, private with lucrative ends and private without lucrative ends sectors, but it is distinguished in recent years the prevalence of the private sector with lucrative ends. In result, it is concluded that this process of expansion cannot be considered as dimension of the democratization because it occurs by means that move it away from the education as a right to be placed in the scope of the market, changing the right into a service that is appropriated by mercantile relations

Nos últimos 10 anos, o governo federal tem coordenado e articulado ações visando a implementação de projetos com ênfase em iniciativas voltadas para o uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) em suas relações com os cidadãos, com o setor privado e com a sociedade em geral. Considerando um forte movimento em prol de inserir o cidadão no centro desse processo, este artigo busca, a partir de uma pesquisa quantitativa/qualitativa, verificar em qual estágio de evolução encontram-se os sites governamentais dos tribunais de contas brasileiros. A partir dessa análise, foi possível mapear pontos a serem melhorados bem como estabelecer um ranking dos sites, tendo em vista o direito de acesso, a disponibilização de informações, a participação e o acompanhamento na execução das políticas públicas.
