Thermodynamic Analysis of Steam Cooling Process in
Marine Power Plant by Using Desuperheater
Authors: Mrzljak Vedran , Senčić Tomislav , Poljak Igor , Medica-Viola Vedran
Published: September 2022

Thermodynamic (energy and exergy) analysis of steam cooling process in the marine steam propulsion
plant is presented in this research. Steam cooling is performed by using Desuperheater which inject
water in the superheated steam to obtain wet steam. Wet steam is used in auxiliary heaters for various
heating purposes inside the marine steam propulsion system. Auxiliary heaters require wet steam
due to safety reasons and for easier steam condensation after heat transfer. Analysis of steam cooling
process is performed for a variety of steam system loads. Mass flow rates of cooling water and
superheated steam in a properly balanced cooling process should have the same trends at different
system loads - deviations from this conclusion is expected only for a notable change in any fluid
temperature. Reduction in steam temperature is dependable on the superheated steam temperature (at
Desuperheater inlet) because the temperature of wet steam (at Desuperheater outlet) is intended to
be almost constant at all steam system loads. Energy losses of steam cooling process for all observed
system loads are low and in range between 10–30 kW, while exergy losses are lower in comparison
to energy losses (between 5–15 kW) for all loads except three the highest ones. At the highest system
loads exergy losses strongly increase and are higher than 20 kW (up to 40 kW). The energy efficiency
of a steam cooling process is very high (around 99% or higher), while exergy efficiency is slightly
lower than energy efficiency (around 98% or higher) for all loads except the highest ones. At the highest
steam system loads, due to a notable increase in cooling water mass flow rate and high temperature
reduction, steam cooling process exergy efficiency significantly decreases, but still remains acceptably
high (between 95% and 97%). Observation of both energy and exergy losses and efficiencies leads
to conclusion that exergy analysis consider notable increase in mass flow rate of cooling water which
thermodynamic properties (especially specific exergies) strongly differs in comparison to steam. Such
element cannot be seen in the energy analysis of the same system.

Authors: Gračan Daniela , Ekmečić Azra , Musa Iva
Published: September 2022

Couchsurfing is a website, i.e., a platform that provides services to those who dare to use free
accommodation in someone’s home and a platform that offers the opportunity to socialize with
other Couchsurfers and join groups where mutual experiences on tourism and destination activities
are exchanged. Given that the concept of Couchsurfing is unusual in comparison to other platforms
of sharing economy, the aim of this research paper is to determine the profile or characteristics of
platform users and the impact of Couchsurfing on destination tourism. The main goal is to answer
the question on how a platform that provides free accommodation in a foreigner’s home contributes
to the development of tourism and the recognition of the destination. For this purpose, a survey
questionnaire on the attitudes of users was conducted, as well as an in-depth interview with the hosts.
Methods of analysis, comparison and descriptive method were used. The focus of the research is
Croatia as a tourist destination and the key results include financial analysis in terms of consumption
and registration of tourists on Couchsurfing who do not pay the sojourn tax, as well as the effects of
supply, demand and marketing through tourists’ activities in the destination including social media
and other destination image forming activities. These aspects were complemented by research on the
safety and future of Couchsurfing.
Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships – International and National Legal Framework
Authors: Vio Igor , Brdar Mate
Published: September 2022

The use of autonomous ships in shipping industry is increasingly being analysed and occupies the
maritime sector. In the maritime industry, the introduction of autonomous underwater crafts began
first this trend, after which the development of autonomous surface ships has followed. Unmanned
vessels include ships operated remotely by an operator on land and autonomous ships that are fully
operated by the computer programmes and only in exceptional situations the ship’s crewmembers or
other human resources may be involved. The commercial application of these facilities is becoming
more and more certain and this topic is increasingly being discussed. This trend obviously poses a
huge challenge to all maritime actors, as well as lawmakers at international and national level. Namely,
although the current development of maritime law has effectively regulated most of new technologies,
all these standards and regulations have been adapted for the use of the conventional manned ships. A
number of questions concerning the possible change in international and national regulations regarding
the implementation of autonomous ships have been raised. It is considered as a priority within the
framework of IMO unification instruments and changes in the Maritime Code of the Republic of
Croatia. This paper presents various legal aspects of the use of autonomous ships with the aim to define
the autonomous ship and to examine how present international conventions and national regulations
could adapt to provide the legal framework to the introduction of autonomous ships.

Published: September 2022

Cleanliness is an inseparable part that is the obligation of every individual for survival; in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, stakeholders have prepared policies in the health sector so that people get their right to live healthily. This study intends to evaluate the role of the government in managing sanitation programs during the COVID-19 pandemic, where policies previously needed to formulate solid policies. This research method uses a literature study where data analysis uses relevant secondary data so that it can be analyzed in depth using the concept of the policy implementation process. The results show that in the sanitation program during the COVID-19 pandemic, the government's role in setting agendas must refer to existing problems in the form of community group routines. Furthermore, the government's policy formulation must take a community-based approach that provides insight into the importance of sanitation program involvement and legitimacy. Finally, an evaluation of government policies must make breakthroughs and program initiations in each regional stakeholder by prioritizing innovations that can happen by the Indonesian people.

Authors: Riyanto Saniya Reizta , Hanuf Atiqah Aulia , Alista Febri Ayu , Yumna Alifa , Soemarno Soemarno
Published: September 2022

Agriculture land shows soil compaction problems due to long-term agricultural cultivation activities. Soil compaction indicator can be seen from the value of soil penetration resistance at different soil depths (0 - 60 cm). This research aimed to determine soil penetration resistance at different coffee plantation ages with different soil depths and to analyze the relationship between soil penetration resistance with soil physical characteristics and coffee productivity. The survey activities include observation of minipits, measuring soil penetration resistance at soil depths of 0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, and 40-60 cm using a hand penetrometer, and soil sampling. The results showed that the soil penetration resistance at each LU and soil depth suggested variation were categorized into moderate and high soil penetration resistance classes (1.34 MPa - 3.35 MPa). Soil characteristics, such as soil aggregate stability, water content, bulk density, porosity, silt content, and clay content, significantly correlate with soil penetration resistance. However, soil penetration resistance has a negative correlation with coffee productivity. The value of soil penetration resistance (at a depth of 0-60 cm) has a significant negative correlation with the average productivity of coffee plantations (r=-0.5936**). Therefore, increased soil penetration resistance decreased root growth, decreasing plant productivity.

Published: September 2022

Production of cherry tomatoes in Indonesia is still low, which might be due to the inappropriate planting and maintenance processes. This research applied biological agent microorganisms Streptomyces sp. and Trichoderma sp. as Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms (PGPM) in sustainable agricultural systems. This study aimed to determine the effect of the concentration of microorganisms Streptomyces sp. and Trichoderma sp. on the growth and production of cherry tomato plants on the polybag scale. The study was arranged with different concentrations of microorganisms Streptomyces sp. and Trichoderma sp. These concentration applied consisted of 1 : 0 ; 0 : 1 ; 2: 2 ; 3 ; 1 and without PGPM, each repeated four times. The results showed that the treatment of PGPM Streptomyces sp. and without Trichoderma sp. (1:0) resulted in the shortest flowering period (33.99 days after planting). Meanwhile, the treatment without Streptomyces sp. and Trichoderma sp. (0 : 1) produced the highest solid weight fruit (69.82 grams/plant).

Published: September 2022

Nanotechnology can be used to produce slow-release fertilizers. Zeolite and crab shells are materials that can be used as fertilizer encapsulation. This study aimed to compare the effects of nano zeolite and crab shells for encapsulation of nitrogen- potassium fertilizers tested on Entisols and Inceptisols soil on the growth and yield of shallots. The research method used a completely randomized design with three factors. The factors were soil type (Entisol and Inceptisol), coating materials (nano-zeolite and nano-crab shell), and NK fertilizer doses (125:50, 250:100, 375:150, and 500:200). The variables observed include initial soil physical and chemical properties, nanoparticle characterization, growth and yield, and agronomic efficiency. Nanoparticles were characterized using SEM and analyzed using ImageJ. The data collected were tested by ANOVA and Tukey. The ball milling method succeeded in producing 91.41% zeolite and 97.50% nano-sized crab shells. Plant height showed that using crab shells as fertilizer encapsulation with a dose of 125:50 gave better results. The yield of crab shells as encapsulation with a dose of 250:100 in inceptisols was better than that in entisols, but the highest agronomic efficiency (EA) was obtained in zeolite treatment as fertilizer encapsulation with a dose of 125:50.

Published: September 2022

Tobacco stems contain 56.10% cellulose content, 15.11% lignin, 22.44% hemicellulose, and 44.61% total organic carbon, which can be used as a source of energy or fuel. This study aimed to utilize tobacco stems in a briquette form as alternative energy. The materials used in this study were tobacco stem waste, rice husk, wood charcoal, and coconut shell. The treatments used in this study consisted of T1 (100% of tobacco stems), T2 (80% of tobacco stem + 20% of coconut shell), T3 (80% of tobacco stem + 20% rice husk), and T4 (33.33% of tobacco stems + 33.33% of rice husk + 33.33% coconut shell). The fastest combustion rate was found at T3, 0.12 gram/sec, while T1 and T2 had the same combustion rate. T4, a mixture of various materials, had no significant difference compared to T1, T2, and T3. The highest calorific value of tobacco stem briquettes was in T4 (4127 Kcal/kg), and the lowest was in T1 (2343 Kcal/kg). The combustion rate of these tobacco stem briquettes was longer than that of charcoal briquettes, whose average burning rate is 0.234 grams/second. Overall, this study provides an overview of the best combination to create briquettes from agricultural waste.

Published: September 2022

Oil palm empty fruit bunches are materials used as organic fertilizers that can be applied to oil palm plantations, thereby reducing the use of inorganic fertilizers. Indigofera zollingeriana is an appropriate alternative as an interplant because of its high branch and leaf development. Functions as a ground cover and a supplier of carbon stocks naturally plays a role in water and soil conservation. This study aims to determine the effect of oil palm empty fruit bunches and I. zollingeriana on land improvement to support oil palm growth and production. Variables observed included changes in soil water content, soil microorganism activity, and carbon stock. The results showed that the soil planted with I. zollingeriana and given the empty fruit bunches of oil palm had a higher soil moisture content. The highest soil carbon stock, oil palm carbon stock, and vegetation carbon stock were 81.6 t ha-1, 36.60 t ha-1, and 1.89 t ha-1, respectively. The population and activity of microorganisms varies. The highest total microorganisms were treated with I. zollingeriana and oil palm EFB 105 (10⁵CFU g-1), while the lowest was 60 (10⁵CFU g-1). Planting I. zollingeriana and providing oil palm empty fruit bunches increased groundwater reserves by 36.71%.

Published: September 2022

This study aimed to determine the role of the indigenous rhizobacteria from Merapi as a substitute for compost in rice cultivation on coastal sandy land under drought stress. The study was a single-factor experiment, with types and doses of compost as treatments, arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of seven treatments and three replications. The seven treatments tested were cow manure compost at doses of 30 and 40 tons/ha, chicken manure compost at doses of 30 and 40 tons/ha, Azolla compost at doses of 20 and 30 tons/ha, and without compost as a control treatment. Each experimental unit consisted of three plants for destructive sampling, three sample plants, and a substitute plant. The application of cow manure compost at a dose of 30 tons/ha to the rice plants inoculated with MB and MD isolates of Merapi indigenous rhizobacteria resulted in the best growth at five weeks after planting, which was not significantly different from that without compost application. This result indicated that the rice plants cv. Segreng Handayani inoculated with Merapi indigenous rhizobacteria, cultivated on coastal sandy soil under drought stress, even without the application of compost, could give the same responses as the plants treated with various types and doses of compost.

Published: September 2022

Background: Women with infertility may be benefitted from sonohysterosalpingography (SHSG), a transvaginal ultrasound procedure that uses a contrast medium to assess the endometrial cavity and tubal patency. It could be a safer and more viable alternative to radiographic hysterosalpingography (HSG). The aim of the study was to evaluate the uterine cavity and fallopian tube patency in infertile women by SHSG using transvaginal ultrasound.Methods: The prospective comparative study was carried out in a total of 35 cases of infertile women between the reproductive age of 20-40 years following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, from July 2016 to June 2017. Detailed history and physical examinations were carried out and appropriate management was instituted as per the needs of the individual patient.Results: In the present study, 41.2% of the women belonged to the age range of 25-29 years. Out of 35 women, 50% women were in the state of primary infertility and remaining were in a secondary infertility state. Holding the SHSG both tube blockage as positive findings the sensitivity of SHSG was found at 100%, specificity was 96.88% and accuracy was 97.14%, while positive predictive value was 80.49% and negative predictive value was 100%.Conclusions: Transvaginal SHSG as a first-line method for evaluation of endometrial cavity and tubal patency is effective and time convenient. Before going to the more invasive gold standard methods, i.e. Hysteroscopy and Laparoscopy, this may be a simple, safe, and well-tolerated technique with a low risk of adverse effects and severe complications.

Corporate Debt and Investment in the Post-Covid World
Authors: Heresi Rodrigo , Powell Andrew
Published: September 2022

We study the relationship between corporate debt, corporate risk and firm-level investment, using a sample of 25,000 listed companies across 47 countries over the last two decades. We find higher leverage reduces investment but show the effect varies with risk, as measured by firm time-varying distance to default. Firms with higher market valuations and lower volatility do not suffer a debt overhang at all, while the effect is exacerbated for riskier firms. Debt overhang effects worsen significantly in economic crises, and the effects may persist for two to three years after the shock. Given the rise in corporate leverage observed during the last decade and as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, physical investment is expected to remain at low levels for some years to come, with impacts varying considerably depending on the economic sector and other risk determinants.
Obrzędy pogrzebu chrześcijańskiego w czasie pandemii
Authors: Araszczuk Stanisław
Published: September 2022

Pandemia koronawirusa SARS-CoV-2 spowodowała, że zaczęto celebrować obrzędy pogrzebu chrześcijańskiego w oparciu o wprowadzane obostrzenia a nie według norm liturgicznych. Coraz częściej pojawiał się zwyczaj organizowania pogrzebu bez kapłana i Mszy św., a także często stosowano obrzędy pogrzebu związane z kremacją zwłok i obrzęd złożenia urny w grobie. Te zwyczaje mogą wpłynąć na kształtowanie się sposobu celebracji obrzędów pogrzebu także w czasie po pandemii. Dlatego też w praktyce duszpasterskiej należy zatroszczyć się o właściwą celebrację obrzędów związanych z chrześcijańskim pogrzebem. W tej formacji należy pamiętać, że dla chrześcijanina całe jego życie, zapoczątkowane w chrzcie świętym, powinno być stopniowym przygotowaniem do śmierci jako spotkania z Bogiem w wymiarze paschalnym.
Analiza Modlitwy Eucharystycznej H Kościoła Anglii
Authors: Bosak Dominik
Published: September 2022

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest analizie jednej z modlitw eucharystycznych Kościoła Anglii (Church of England), jaką jest Modlitwa H (Eucharistic Prayer H). Jest to najkrótsza modlitwa eucharystyczna spośród wszystkich pozostałych, jakie obecne są w głównym tomie Common Worship. Jej struktura została opracowana w ten sposób, że zastosowany w niej model dialogiczny stanowi rdzeń całej modlitwy. Jest to jeden z elementów, który wyróżnia tę modlitwę od pozostałych modlitw eucharystycznych Kościoła Anglii. Przyjęcie dialogicznej formy wspiera rozumienie Eucharystii jako wydarzenia celebrowanego we wspólnocie i przez całą wspólnotę, przeciwko indywidualistycznym tendencjom. Fundamentalnym aspektem modlitwy jest jej teocentryczny charakter. Tekst ukazuje Boga Ojca, jako Tego, który jest w centrum modlitwy eucharystycznej, gdyż to On jest jej adresatem. Ważną kwestią dotyczącą modlitwy H jest również jej głęboka więź z Tradycją Kościoła. Analiza tekstu pozwala stwierdzić, że treść modlitwy jest mocno zakorzeniona w Piśmie Świętym oraz w teologii Ojców Kościoła. Pomimo zachowania tego fundamentalnego dziedzictwa, w modlitwie tej pojawiają się nowatorskie rozwiązania, które wnoszą świeżość do liturgii Kościoła Anglii.
Ordained and Baptized Ministries Through the Lens of Liturgical Singing
Authors: Haspelmath-Finatti Dorothea
Published: September 2022

After decades of ecumenical dialogue, the understanding of the relationship between the ministries of the baptized and the ordained continues to be a dividing matter between churches and traditions. This paper suggests that liturgical singing, in which individual and communal song with specific roles become a single and unified liturgical action, offers a model aiming to contribute to the bridging of this persistent divide.

Liturgical theologians have in recent times begun to analyse the fabric of liturgical artistic activities and the complex relationship between the different ministries involved. Here, the dialogue with neurobiological research has helped theology to better understand the roles and functions of the single voice and the group of voices woven into the liturgical texture. This paper proposes that a better understanding of the functioning and the aesthetic nature of liturgical singing puts a new hermeutical tool at the service of the ecumenical dialogue on ministry.
Dyskurs liturgiczny. Uprzedmiotowienie zjawiska
Authors: Klementowicz Michał
Published: September 2022

Istnienie grupy ludzi, która potrafi poprawnie identyfikować system znaków oraz towarzyszące im reguły warunkuje powstanie spójności semiotycznej. Daje to szansę do stworzenia wspólnoty dyskursywnej, w której wypowiedzi adresowane są do konkretnego słuchacza z zachowaniem zasad semiologii i tekstologii. Problemem dla niniejszego tekstu jest kryterium funkcjonowania w ramach celebracji wspólnoty „wymiany myśli” – „wspólnoty dyskursywnej”. Określenie cech dyskursu oraz towarzyszących im zasad pozwala na ułożenie definicji tego pojęcia w ramach liturgii. Osiągnięcie tego zamierzenia zostało zrealizowane w następujących krokach. Po pierwsze usystematyzowana została typologia tekstów pojawiających się w liturgii. Następnie omówiona została koncepcja wspólnoty dyskursywnej. Pozwala to na doprecyzowanie pojęcia „dyskurs liturgiczny”. W ostatnim punkcie zostały omówione normy tekstologiczne dla wybranych tekstów obecnych w celebracji.
Świętość w czasie: rok liturgiczny w ekonomii zbawienia
Authors: Megger Andrzej
Published: September 2022

Rok liturgiczny jest celebracją misterium Chrystusa i Jego zbawczego dzieła rozłożoną w czasie. Naród Wybrany sakralizuje czas, ponieważ w nim poprzez różne wydarzenia objawia się i działa Bóg. Żydowski teolog Abraham Joshua Heschel naucza, że czas jest atrybutem Boga i świętości. Czas przenika i podporządkowuje przestrzeń, bo jest obecnością samego Jahwe. Misterium paschalne Jezusa Chrystusa jest wypełnieniem czasu, lecz nie jego dopełnieniem. Nie tylko człowiek i całe stworzenie zostają odnowione, ale także i czas zostaje oczyszczony, ponieważ zmartwychwstanie stanowi centrum tajemnicy czasu. Treścią roku liturgicznego jest Zbawiciel, a więc w liturgii również czas sprawowania antycypuje czas samego Boga, czyli wieczność. W ten sposób czas przeżywany w Kościele staje się narzędziem uświęcenia.
Participatory Methodologies and the Production of Data on Artisanal Fishing in Areas with Offshore Wind Farm Projects in Ceará, Brazil
Authors: Xavier Thomaz Willian de Figueiredo , Gorayeb Adryane , Brannstrom Christian
Published: September 2022

Offshore wind farms (OWF) are an essential emerging energy source. In Brazil, environmental licensing of OWFs requires an identification map of multiple preexisting uses, targeting potentially conflicting activities, such as fishing and navigation routes. The objective of the work was to evaluate the application of participatory methodologies in the construction of data on fishing activity, aiming at analyzing potential impacts of OWFs in marine territories of the state of Ceará, with a focus on artisanal fishing. A participatory map and fishing calendar were produced in Colônia Z18, Amontada, Ceará. Data collection took place through four participatory workshops with 45 participants. The data were digitized in a GIS environment and later validated with the community. The results show complete overlap between an OWF and the local fishing activity. Thus, participatory methodologies can help in the acquisition of fishery data and the assessment of the multiple uses of marine territories.

Authors: Veronez Fernanda Aparecida , Estevam Maria Stella Sena , Almeida Maria Rita Raimundo e
Published: September 2022

In the context of Environmental Licensing (EL), project screening is an essential process that establishes whether Environmental Impact Assessment is needed or not. This paper analyzes the EL screening of a type of Small Hydroelectric Power Plants (less than 3 MW) in Espírito Santo state and compares it with other states in Brazil. The methodological process involved document analysis, good practices criteria application, and comparative analyses of the case study. The document analysis allowed us to understand how EL procedures in Espírito Santo have changed over time. The good practices criteria application allowed us to discuss how well processes aligned with outlined objectives. Finally, the comparative analysis between Espírito Santo and other Brazilian states allowed us to identify possible improvements for Espírito Santo's EL system. For example, screening could be improved by considering environmental sensitivity metrics for project classification and establishing guidelines for case-by-case analyses.

Authors: Oliveira Neto Mário , Alves Livia de Freitas Navegantes , Schwartz Gustavo
Published: September 2022

The objective of this article was to analyze the benefits of Agroforestry Systems (AFSs) association with natural regeneration promoted by family farmers of Tomé-Açu, Pará, Brazil. Based on 46 previous interviews with family farmers, 12 of them were selected due to the presence of AFSs with different levels of tree species diversity, in which richness and diversity of tree species were taken into account. In addition, the measurement of the floristic variables was carried out. Results showed that 17% of the AFSs have natural regeneration corridors. This type of AFS has high species richness and diversity (Shannon-Weaner = 2.5), and its main characteristic is the presence of regeneration corridors of secondary forests. Therefore, farmers make production and forest regeneration compatible, and: a) maintain in their AFSs environmental services provided by regenerated secondary forests, b) ensure food security for their families, and c) they may have financial incomes from selling AFS products.

Published: September 2022

Localizada no sudeste da Tunísia, o território Medenine é caracterizado por um clima árido. A escassez de água foi acentuada pela crescente demanda de diferentes setores econômicos. A competição inter-setorial pela água, principalmente entre o turismo e a agricultura, representa um grande problema. Esta área de interesse socioeconômico e geopolítico foi alvo de diversos programas de desenvolvimento, em particular várias reformas na política da água. Apesar da intervenção pública já nos anos 1980, a avaliação integrada ex-ante de impacto (IIA) da reforma da política da água necessita de mais atenção em regiões áridas da Tunísia. Usando um modelo de equilíbrio geral computacional foi avaliado o impacto em toda a economia, resultante da reforma das políticas de água, que consistem em fornecer maior quantidade de água para os diferentes setores econômicos. Os objetivos centrais foram delinear um procedimento de construção de uma Social Accounting Matrix (SAM), descrever as opções políticas e apresentar os resultados preliminares. Os resultados do modelo mostram que o fornecimento de água segundo práticas não-convencionais para setores do turismo e da agricultura tem um impacto positivo na economia regional. Os resultados devem ser analisados com cautela, dada as várias limitações do trabalho que devem ser superadas. Este trabalho foi realizado no âmbito do Projeto Políticas de Uso da Terra e Desenvolvimento Sustentável em Países em Desenvolvimento (Lupis) (Reidsma et al., 2011).

Published: September 2022

A consolidação de políticas públicas de educação ambiental no Brasil permite o aprofundamento de reflexões conceituais e implicações políticas destas, o que contribui para o posicionamento dos agentes sociais envolvidos. No presente artigo, apresentamos as concepções hegemônicas de Estado e sociedade civil no campo, tendo por referência a análise crítica do discurso de um caso empírico concreto: a chamada pública do Ministério do Meio Ambiente para Coletivo Educadores, de 2006; problematizando-as Ã  luz de um referencial inserido na tradição marxista. Com isso, após a análise detalhada do documento, é possível afirmar que tais concepções hegemônicas se inserem no quadro teórico e discursivo da denominada “Terceira Via” e no modelo de Estado Gerencial, propostas estas que não contribuem diretamente para o avanço das lutas sociais de cunho emancipatório, tal como preconizado pela Educação Ambiental Crítica.
Percepções da Problemática Ambiental pelos Agricultores Familiares do Sudoeste Paraense, Município de Pacajá
Authors: Oliveira Eliene Espírito Santo de , Rocha Carla Giovana Souza
Published: September 2022

Estudo inserido nas ações de pesquisa-desenvolvimento realizadas na região da Transamazônica, Sudoeste do. O objetivo geral é identificar os problemas ambientais decorrentes da atividade agrícola a partir da visão dos agricultores. Utilizaram-se roteiros sobre as práticas agrícolas a 13 famílias e, sobre as percepções ambientais a 51. As percepções ambientais agregam valores, identidades e interpretação sobre as relações e conhecimentos acumulados, conformadas em estratégias de reprodução social que nem sempre vislumbram a sustentabilidade ecológica, mas sim aspectos materiais e de exploração dos elementos do meio natural para satisfação das necessidades humanas imediatas. A questão ambiental é percebida nas mudanças climáticas ao se constatar períodos de estiagens prolongados e maior sensação de calor, e ao mesmo tempo como preocupação imposta pela pressão ao atendimento à legislação ambiental. Os agricultores familiares condicionam as mudanças nas práticas de corte-queima ao apoio dos governos para implantação de alternativas produtivas.

Published: September 2022

Este artigo aborda a expansão da oferta de vagas na rede de ensino superior no Brasil, com foco para a região do Cariri, interior do Estado do Ceará, nordeste do Brasil. Pressupõe que o acesso Ã  educação cria condições favoráveis Ã  propositura e consolidação do Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Estudos dessa natureza em regiões historicamente excluídas concorrem positivamente para o processo de desenvolvimento sustentável. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir da coleta e tratamento dos dados relativos Ã  Educação Superior no Brasil e no Cariri entre os anos de 2002 a 2009, obtidos por meio do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP), e do banco de dados de quatro instituições de ensino superior localizadas no Cariri cearense. No Cariri cearense constatou-se o crescimento no acesso ao ensino superior na última década, esse fato tem relação com o aumento do investimento público e ainda a participação da iniciativa privada, criando o que se pode chamar de sistema híbrido de financiamento. Essa realidade vem contribuir para a criação de um contexto propício ao desenvolvimento da região, tendo em vista as mudanças que o acesso Ã  educação pode proporcionar para a vida de cada cidadão e no conjunto para todo o entorno.

Turismo e Sustentabilidade
Authors: Marques Campos Arminda Eugenia , Delamaro Maurício César
Published: September 2022

A alardeada convicção de que o turismo pode dar um impulso extraordinário Ã  economia de um lugar mostra-se com frequência uma ilusão: prevalecem o abandono de ocupações tradicionais e a migração para as cidades. Assim como as monoculturas exploraram e continuam explorando territórios e gentes, a centralidade dada ao turismo como fator de desenvolvimento regional suga recursos públicos e concentra benefícios, geralmente com destaque para agentes de outros locais.
Da Rio+20 a Rio-2016:
Authors: Flores Maureen , Puppim de Oliveira José A.
Published: September 2022

Este artigo busca analisar a maneira como os Jogos Olímpicos têm incorporado os principais compromissos da sustentabilidade acordados nas Conferencias Rio 92, Rio+10 e Rio+20 nos seus processos de planejamento e operação, influenciando as cidades anfitriãs na construção do legado dos Jogos. O turismo é um dos carros-chefes da economia do Rio, e a ligação entre os Jogos e a imagem da cidade que vai ficar. Os Jogos irão refletir na quantidade e qualidade da demanda turística durante, mas principalmente depois das Olimpíadas. Eles podem ser uma vitrine para iniciativas inovadoras na área de sustentabilidade que a cidade introduzir. O papel do COI pode ser fundamental para direcionar as ações de sustentabilidade na cidade. O legado de sustentabilidade pode ter nos Jogos seu “ponto de inflexão” para mudar definitivamente a imagem da cidade. Ainda temos um pouco mais de três anos para avançar, mas as bases precisam ser criadas agora.
Dramas of the Commons in Brazil
Authors: Sawyer Donald
Published: September 2022

Este artigo analisa experiências com comuns, trágicas e bem sucedidas, em comunidades locais no Brasil. O problema para os agroextrativistas não se limita Ã  terra, mas também inclui o acesso a recursos naturais fora de seus territórios. Direitos de uso poderiam ser estabelecidos, regulando o extrativismo em terras públicas ou de terceiros. O acesso a esses comuns deve ser limitado aos membros de grupos específicos, por meio de acordos privados regulados por normas oficiais. Conclusões e recomendações para pesquisas e políticas públicas incluem, entre outras: 1) prioridade para comunidades sob a maior pressão, 2) reforma agrária que contemple o acesso a recursos naturais fora dos lotes individuais, 3) a regulamentação do uso sustentável em vários tipos de áreas protegidas e reservadas, 4) inclusão de famílias com atividade não-agrícola e residências múltiplas. Paisagens produtivas sustentáveis são a única maneira de alcançar a escala necessária para manter as funções ecossistêmicas de água, biodiversidade e carbono (“ABC”).
Interview with Professor Oran R. Young:
Authors: Drummond José Augusto , Litre Gabriela
Published: September 2022

For the last 40 years, Professor Oran R. Young, a leading authority on global environmental governance, has been doing cutting-edge research focusing on collective choice and social institutions. He has also conducted applied research dealing with issues pertaining to international environmental governance and to the Arctic as an international region. Working on issues of Arctic governance allowed him to participate in the policy world, while still maintaining his role as a scientist. This contributed to overcoming what he considers a major obstacle to progress: the gap that frequently separates members of the policy community and members of the scientific community. Young believes that navigating the Anthropocene ”“ and unprecedented era with regard to the impact of human actions on the Earth’s biophysical systems - requires governance systems that are effective and resilient in turbulent times. In this interview, conducted by e-mail, Young revisits some of the key concepts of governance, admits that the concept of governance itself may have become to some extent “fuzzy”, and explains why there is still no general theory about environmental governance. Regarding what is called the “death of real environmentalism”, Young points out that most members of the public do not take the issue of climate change seriously, and that many governments are more interested in the politics of the situation than in its substance. To him, the question in the coming years is whether world leaders such as Xi Jinping and Barack Obama, both securely installed in their roles, can forge a coalition between China and the US, which together now account for ~45% of GHG emissions, to break the current international deadlock regarding the issue.

Pegada Ecológica como Instrumento de Avaliação Ambiental da Cidade de Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul
Authors: Fiorini Andrea Janaina Cayres Estrela , Souza Celso Correia de , Mercante Mercedes Abid
Published: September 2022

A Pegada Ecológica (PE) configura-se como um indicador de sustentabilidade e qualidade de vida, bem como, uma metodologia de contabilidade ambiental que avalia a pressão do consumo humano sobre os recursos naturais. A PE de uma pessoa, cidade ou país é dada pela área de terra ou mar produtiva, necessária para sustentar o seu estilo de vida, que envolve alimentação, moradia, lazer, locomoção, entre outros. Neste trabalho, calculouse a PE da cidade de Campo Grande, MS, que resultou em 3,03 hectares globais de terras produtivas por habitante, necessárias para sustentar o seu estilo de vida. Foram consideradas para o cálculo da PE as variáveis: áreas verdes, áreas urbanas construídas; áreas de ocupação ilegal; consumo de carne bovina; consumo de alimentos; emissões produzidas pela queima de combustíveis fósseis; consumo de energia elétrica e de água e; produção de lixo. A PE da cidade está 12,22% acima da PE mundial e 68,33% acima do que é considerado disponível, de modo sustentável para cada habitante do planeta.
