Provedoria da Fazenda Real e Alfândega de Pernambuco: Administração e Funcionamento 1701-1725
Authors: Almeida Suely Cordeiro , Santos Luanna Ventura
Published: April 2018

Neste trabalho pretendemos demonstrar o funcionamento de uma alfândega e a composição de seu oficialato régio utilizando principalmente o exemplo de Pernambuco, a partir de documentação disponível no Brasil.  A Provedoria da Fazenda Real de Pernambuco e Alfândega se encontravam imbricadas na primeira metade do século XVIII. Na primeira parte procuraremos demonstrar o poder do administrador dessas duas instituições e como sua família permaneceu por várias gerações no ofício de Provedor e Juiz da Alfândega. Na segunda buscaremos elucidar o funcionamento interno da Alfândega de Pernambuco; as mudanças no quadro de seus oficiais; a preocupação da coroa como a idoneidade do oficialato; as querelas entre os administradores graduados da coroa em Pernambuco.
Uma utopia oitocentista: igualdade, trabalho e estado em uma sociedade imaginada por Edward Bellamy
Authors: Barros José D'Assunção
Published: April 2018

Este artigo examina a literatura utópica do século XIX, abordando mais diretamente, e em maior profundidade, a sociedade imaginária idealizada por Edward Bellamy no romance Revendo o Futuro (1877). Esta análise mais específica é precedida por uma breve introdução à literatura utópica desde o século XVI – recuperando comparativamente proposições de autores como Thomas Morus, Campanella, Francis Bacon, Fourier, Saint-Simon, e Robert Owen –, além de uma discussão teórica sobre os modelos de distribuição da igualdade, neste caso considerando as reflexões de Norberto Bobbio e Amartya Sen sobre este tema. O romance de Bellamy é abordada em seu contexto, e justifica-se por envolver uma ponte entre literatura e sociedade, particularmente considerando que esta obra despertou grande interesse de leitores da época e mesmo a motivação para a realização de experiências utópicas específicas. Palavras-Chave: Literatura utópica; utopias; distopias; sociedades imaginárias; igualdade; Bellamy
Nietzsche e a Historiografia Prussiana: análise de fragmentos póstumos da Primeira Fase de sua obra

Published: April 2018

RESUMO Ao observar as relações de Nietzsche com seus contemporâneos verifica-se que ele estava ciente das principais discussões relativas à Unificação da Alemanha (1871). Para a unificação era necessário que os 39 estados alemães compartilhassem o sentimento de pertencimento a uma pátria comum. Nesse meandro, os historiadores prussianos do século XIX desempenharam papel fundamental ao produzir um ambiente filosófico nacionalista, uma maneira científica e objetiva de pensar sobre a história. O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender as interações de Nietzsche com estes círculos intelectuais. Para isto, foram selecionados quatro dos chamados fragmentos póstumos de Nietzsche datados entre 1871 e 1873. De acordo com o ponto de vista de Nietzsche, as pretensões dos historiadores, não tinham nenhuma crítica, pois acreditavam, ingenuamente, que a verdade era um alvo tangível. Por outro lado, ele indicou a necessidade de uma história ligada à cultura, que era trabalhada em conjunto com "instintos artísticos".  ABSTRACT By observing the relationship of Nietzsche with his contemporaries one can notice that he was aware of the main discussions related to the unification of Germany (1871). Unification required 39 German states to share the feeling of belonging to a common homeland. Prussian historians of the nineteenth century played a key role in producing such a nationalist philosophical environment, a scientific and objectivist way of thinking about History. This work aim is to understand the interactions between Nietzsche and this intelectual circles. For this purpose, four of the so-called posthumous Nietzsche fragments, dated between 1871 and 1873, were selected. According to Nietzsche's point of view, some historians had a naive pretension to reach the truth, as if it were a tangible target. On another hand, he pointed out the necessity of a link between History and Culture, which should be understood altogether with ‘artistic instincts’.
Política energética e construção de hidrelétricas na primeira metade do Século XX: reflexões sobre o caso paranaense
Authors: Karpinski Cezar
Published: April 2018

Neste artigo analiso algumas ações governamentais que legitimaram a constituição de uma política hidroenergética no Estado do Paraná entre as décadas de 1940 e 1950. Dedico especial atenção ao início das projeções e construções de hidrelétricas no rio Iguaçu, especialmente a história da instalação da Hidrelétrica Caiacanga, primeira a ser instalada no curso deste rio. Utilizando o discurso como categoria analítica, procuro refletir sobre a emergência do modelo hidroenergético e sua defesa e legitimação na história contemporânea do Brasil. A análise da construção da Usina do Caiacanga deslinda um processo histórico que nos remete a projetos elaborados no início do Século XX, suas formas tecnológicas e o papel que ocupam os rios e suas quedas d’água nos planos governamentais. As fontes utilizadas foram Mensagens de Governo, o Plano Hidro-energético Paranaense de 1949 e um Relatório Técnico publicado em 1951 no Paraná.

SEM RESUMO
Interfaces do discurso sustentável na noção contemporânea de carreira
Authors: Duarte Márcia De Freitas , Machado Diego De Queiroz , Silva André Luis
Published: April 2018

Este artigo, teórico-empírico de natureza qualitativa, utiliza a narrativa cinematográfica Up in the Air para ilustrar e discutir o modo como as pessoas são impactadas pelos constantes questionamentos e decisões acerca de suas carreiras na vida contemporânea e como lidam com isso. Apresenta também a interface do discurso sustentável na noção contemporânea de carreira. A base teórica privilegia o uso dos conceitos de modernidade tardia e líquida, oriundos da Sociologia, e do construto carreira, sob a perspectiva dos Estudos Organizacionais. Concluímos que a relação entre indivíduo e organização se tornou líquida. As pessoas são vistas como únicas responsáveis por seu sucesso ou fracasso e, portanto, são compelidas a assumir a gestão de suas carreiras. Essa nova postura é caracterizada por questionamentos do indivíduo acerca de suas habilidades, como atender aos discursos sustentáveis das organizações e como lidar com a sensação de ansiedade, que parece ser a única certeza em suas carreiras.
A percepção dos discentes e dos docentes e um olhar sobre o projeto pedagógico: o que revelam sobre a temática ambiental no curso de administração de uma Universidade Federal?
Authors: Santos Josivania Da Paz , Lima Jose Rodolfo Tenório , Barbosa Milka Alves Correia
Published: April 2018

O artigo tem o objetivo de analisar como a temática ambiental está inserida no curso de Administração da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, do Campus Arapiraca. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo a partir do método de estudo de caso. A coleta dos dados adotou os seguintes procedimentos: aplicação de questionário a discentes matriculados no curso, entrevista com docentes e análise do Projeto Pedagógico. Os resultados mostram que as temáticas ambientais não são contempladas pelas ementas das disciplinas e que aproximadamente 58% dos discentes respondentes afirmam sentir falta da temática. Os docentes entrevistados reconhecem a importância da temática para a formação do futuro administrador, porém consideram que a falta de conhecimento acerca dela seria a principal dificuldade encontrada para o desenvolvimento deste tema. Conclui-se que o curso não inclui, de fato, a temática ambiental na matriz pedagógica, deixando lacunas de conhecimentos e habilidades que serão relevantes para os futuros administradores.
Sustentabilidade e inovação: uma investigação de sua integração em atividades organizacionais
Authors: Ruggi Maíra Oliveira , Nascimento Thiago Cavalcante , Mendonça Andréa Torres Barros Batinga de , Kohn Tânia Aparecida Magalhães Teixeira
Published: April 2018

O presente artigo investiga a relação entre sustentabilidade e inovação nas ações organizacionais. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram feitas entrevistas em profundidade com gestores de um grupo de organizações ganhadoras do Prêmio Ozires Silva de Empreendedorismo Sustentável. Os resultados demonstram que as organizações, embora tenham conhecimento do Triple Bottom Line, ele não é totalmente aplicado, tampouco seus pilares são tratados de forma equânime; ao contrário, existe uma prevalência do pilar econômico nessa relação; o ambiental é relegado ao tratamento de rejeitos e dejetos e o social, ao assistencialismo. Quanto às inovações, os esforços voltados aos produtos e processos são objetivados pelas organizações, além de as inovações incrementais serem a principal tipologia encontrada, evidenciando uma ênfase com relação à viabilidade econômica e rentabilidade futura das inovações. Percebe-se, portanto, que a convergência entre sustentabilidade e inovação ainda é incipiente e muito dentro de ações voltadas à eficiência e não à eficácia.
Gastos públicos em meio ambiente: uma análise da microrregião de Curitiba
Authors: Farago Fabio Emanuel , Coelho Marcio Henrique
Published: April 2018

Empresas, governos e cidadãos não têm dado a devida atenção para o meio ambiente. A necessidade de oferta presente tem impactado negativamente as florestas, recursos hídricos e o ar, acelerando a degradação ambiental. Este artigo teve por objetivo analisar o gasto público em meio ambiente dos municípios da Microrregião de Curitiba entre 2004 e 2015. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa exploratória, com uso da estatística descritiva, tendo como variáveis as despesas totais e por categorias: agricultura, gestão ambiental e saneamento. As fontes pesquisadas foram a base de dados do Instituto Paranaense de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social, da Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional, do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística e os balanços gerais das prefeituras investigadas. Os resultados demonstraram que os gastos em meio ambiente dos municípios da Microrregião, em termos orçamentários, acusaram um valor inferior ao observado para a Mesorregião Metropolitana de Curitiba e para o estado do Paraná.
A atuação do comitê de integração da bacia hidrográfica do rio Paraíba do sul: delineando uma análise a partir da perspectiva relacional
Authors: Da Silva Julio Fancisco Alvarenga , Teixeira Maria Gracinda Carvalho
Published: April 2018

O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar a atuação do Comitê de Integração da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Paraíba do Sul (CEIVAP) no contexto da política pública brasileira de recursos hídricos, a partir da perspectiva relacional. Observou-se que, tanto no Brasil quanto em outros países, bacias hidrográficas são uma referência de gestão de recursos hídricos e que a gestão integrada vem sendo apresentada como uma abordagem bastante utilizada nesses estudos que tratam da gestão de recursos hídricos. Entretanto a perspectiva relacional se mostra mais abrangente, pois contribui para a compreensão dos processos de tomada de decisão e democratização das políticas públicas, favorece a articulação entre atores nos domínios públicos ou privados e auxilia também na compreensão de que é no campo da ação que se evidencia como a articulação social ocorre e se percebem os pontos de conflito na atuação do Comitê.
A atuação dos agentes da comissão pastoral da terra para impulsionar políticas públicas de combate à redução do trabalhador rural à condição análoga à de escravo
Authors: Nascimento Luiz Augusto Silva Ventura do
Published: April 2018

A exploração do trabalho análogo ao de escravo é um problema social caracterizado como crime pela violação de direitos dos trabalhadores. O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar as práticas sociais realizadas no cenário sociopolítico pelos agentes da Comissão Pastoral da Terra (CPT) com as quais eles pretenderam mudar a realidade de violação dos direitos dos trabalhadores, fazendo com que o Estado reconhecesse o problema e, juntamente com eles, formulasse políticas públicas direcionadas à prevenção e erradicação do trabalho análogo ao de escravo. O objeto central da investigação sociológica proposta são as atitudes, as ações, as reações, os procedimentos e as práticas sociais desenvolvidas pelos agentes sociais da CPT para incitar o governo federal a formular políticas públicas de supressão do trabalho análogo ao de escravo. O fundamento teórico está na teoria da agência. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental qualitativa, em que os documentos são analisados em profundidade pela perspectiva hermenêutica.

Authors: Santos Teixeira Patrícia , Emilia de Campos Thais , Aragão Martins Raul
Published: April 2018

The use of psychoactive substances (PAS), legal or illegal, is one of the risk behaviors among children and adolescents and is associated with antisocial and / or delinquent behaviors, such as those that lead to infractions and, later, insertion in the Socio-educational system provided for in the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA). These situations are grounds for discussion and concern for parents and educators. In order to plan an intervention aimed at prevention and / or return to socially accepted behaviors, it is necessary to know the pattern of alcohol and other drug use among adolescents. Thus, 15 inmates from a semi-liberty unit under the ECA participated in this study. The profile of adolescents was raised through the following instruments: AUDIT, Q_F, DUSI-R and ASSIST. It was concluded that the pattern of use of PAS among adolescents treated in the semi-liberty regime is high when compared to the general population and, in relation to the studies, almost all had dropped out of school.

As crianças mascaradas de Alejandro Pasquale
Authors: Weber Cristiane
Published: April 2018

Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar três pinturas da série Maskaras, do argentino Alejandro Pasquale, através da perspectiva teórica dos signos e da cadeia sintagmática que permite compreender como o artista na contemporaneidade exprime seus sentimentos e memórias em suas crianças mascaradas. Autores como Oliveira (2005), Barbisan (1995), Barthes (2004) trazem o arcabouço teórico a respeito dos signos e seus processos de significação, enquanto Bachelard (1993), Izquierdo (2002) e Halbwachs (2003) são apresentados para discorrer sobre poética e memórias. As metodologias utilizadas são as da semiótica aplicada de Santaella (2005) e a de fenomenologia microscópica de Bachelard (1993). Como resultado, apresento a composição poética das pinturas com um apelo sensível à história pessoal do artista com a perda de um sobrinho e com o resgate de sua própria infância.
Ilya e Emilia Kabakov na exposição Not everyone will be taken into the future
Authors: Baschirotto Viviane
Published: April 2018

O artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma leitura sobre a exposição Not everyone will be taken into the future dos artistas Ilya e Emilia Kabakov que ocorreu na Tate Modern em Londres entre os anos de 2017 e 2018. O texto aborda os gestos artísticos que são persistência e recorrência nas obras apresentadas na exposição: a problemática da História da Arte, a presença de biografias e autobiografias de ficções e verdades e a possibilidade do voo, do escape. A partir dessas questões, pode-se pensar no gesto artístico como algo que sempre retorna na produção de um artista, como uma obstinação e premeditação em suas obras.
COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVITY OF NECTARINE CULTIVARS AND FORMS WITH DIFFERENT COLORED LEAF PLATE
Authors: IVASHCHENKO Iuliia , IVASHCHENKO Yuriy , SHOFERISTOV Evgeny , TSIUPKA Sergei
Published: April 2018

Genotypes of nectarine with red leaves were created in Nikita botanical gardens.They have commercially valuable properties and biological characteristics (resistanceto powdery mildew, large-fruited, the ability of transmitting the trait of redleaves with constant result to progeny seed, etc. ). The aim of our researches was tostudy the main indicators of photoactivity of leaf apparatus of nectarine with greenand anthocyanin leaves coloration. Investigations have been carried out in 2010-2015 on intact leaf plates for three cultivars and forms of nectarine with greenleaves – Rubinoviy-8 (control), Chemus, Krymtsuht 53-85 and 2 forms withanthocyanin coloration of leaf plate (NektadianaKrasnolistnaya 996-88, Krasnola495-86). Photosynthetic activity was characterized by chlorophyll fluorescenceparameters (Kautsky effect). The content of chlorophyll a and b were determinedby spectrophotometry. The cultivar Rubinoviy-8 and the form - Krasnola 495-86were selected according to intensity indicators of the primary reactions ofphotosynthesis. Anthocyanin forms concede cultivar Rubinoviy-8 in efficiency ofthe primary reactions of photosynthesis an average of 48-50%; but they exceednectarines Chemus and Krymtsuht 53-85 with green color of leaves of 23-25%.The efficiency of energy supply in the "dark" reactions of photosynthesis in allvarieties and forms of nectarine maintained within 41-46%. But the further abilityto utilize received energy is most efficiently implemented at the nectarine cultivarRubinoviy-8 and form Krasnola 495-86. The forms of red-leaved nectarine incomparison with traditional cultivars are distinguished by a great potential forretaining the stability and productivity of the functioning of the photosyntheticapparatus.
CONDITIONS OF AGRICULTURAL LAND PRICES DEVELOPMENT IN POLAND
Authors: MARKS-BIELSKA Renata
Published: April 2018

The aim of the paper has been to diagnose factors determining agricultural landprices, classifying them and determining which of them plays the most importantrole. The considerations were based on selected subject literature, the results ofresearches conducted by other authors, as well as analysis of statistical data from theCentral Statistical Office of Poland and Eurostat. Factors determining agriculturalland prices in Poland can be divided into two groups: 2) Market: supply and demandfor agricultural land allotted to agricultural production; supply and demand foragricultural land that can be, in compliance with the binding law, allotted to purposesother than agricultural; simultaneous functioning of two market segments - private(on which a majority of land trading is conducted among farmers) as well as the statemarket segment – the Stock of Agricultural Property of the State Treasury managed,on behalf of the owner - the State Treasury, by the state institution - the AgriculturalProperty Agency; profitability of agricultural production. 2) Non-market: historicalconditions – dominance of private property in Polish agriculture, both in the marketeconomy and in the previous economic system; tradition, culture - passing farmsfrom generation to generation; Poland’s accession to the European Union andcovering Polish farmers with common agricultural policy instruments; ending thetransitional period of purchasing Polish agricultural properties by foreigners on 1May 2016. After this period, the hitherto limitations (special permits) for foreignersin purchasing agricultural properties in Poland were lifted.

Basedon obtained results it could be concluded that crossbreeding of Ţigaie with Awassibreed rams had a better effect on increasing of milk production than crossbreedingwith Lacaune breed rams.
SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE AND DETOXIFICATION RELATED GENES IN Spodoptera littoralis(LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE)
Authors: GUZ Nurper , DAĞERİ Aslı
Published: April 2018

The Egyptian cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd. ) is a well-known asone of the most destructive agricultural lepidopterous pests. It is a true generalistspecies with a promiscuous feeding strategy which enables it to attack numerouseconomically important crops all year round including vegetables, ornamentalplants, and cotton. Recently, chemical control has been commonly used to suppresspopulations of S. littoralis; however, a very large number of insecticides have ledtothe emergence ofresistance. An extensive use of insecticides also has other sideeffects, including the elimination of non-targeted organisms, environmentaldamage and harm to human health. Genome-wide high-throughput technologieshelp developing resistance management strategies, especially identifying geneticmechanisms of resistance. The aim of the present study was to produce a de novotranscriptome for S. littoralis as a resource for current and future studies of thispest species by using next-generation sequencing. This resource was then used as areference for identifying genes by encoding the target sites of insecticides currentlyin use for Egyptian cotton leaf worm control. To achieve this, a cDNA library wassequenced using 454 FLX Titanium Sequencing on the Roche platform whichrevealed good coverage of genes encoding insecticide target sites anddetoxification enzymes using a manual annotation. Annotations of assembledsequences were carried out by BLASTx against NCBI non-redundant proteinsequence databases using the software Blast2GO. The genesencodingenzymesinvolvedin insecticide detoxification such as Acetylcholinesterase,Cytochrome p450, Glutathione S-transferase were characterized. Furthermore, aphylogenetic analyses based on three protein sequences were generated in order togive evolutionary insights into insecticide resistance gene families of S. littoralis.

Published: April 2018

Different parts of Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) plant, especially leaves, pods andflowers, are usually processed for human and animal consumption as these partshave been reported to be rich in nutrient elements that are essential for human andanimal health. Consequently, a 19-month field experiment was conducted todetermine effect of seed sowing depth on biomass production by moringa plant atthe Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Moringaseeds were sown at five sowing depths of 1.5, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0 and 9.0 cm. The resultsshowed that sowing depth significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected emergence of seeds 14days after sowing in the following order: 1.5 > 3.0 > 5.0 > 7.0 > 9.0 cm sowingdepths. Also, number of branches, height, canopy cover and dry biomass of theresulting seedlings were significantly influenced by seed sowing depths. Numberof branches, heights and dry biomass of seedlings from seeds sown at 1.5 and 3.0cm depths were at par but were significantly superior to those seedlings from seedssown at 5.0, 7.0 and 9.0 cm depths. However, canopy cover was not in a definiteorder. Data obtained in this study seemed to indicate that sowing moringa seedsbeyond 3.0 cm depth in the field may not be beneficial to moringa plant for organicbiomass production.
TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK TO MAP SUSTAINABILITY TRANSITIONS IN FOOD SYSTEMS
Authors: EL BILALI Hamid , PROBST Lorenz
Published: April 2018

Transitions to sustainable food systems are considered necessary to addresssustainability challenges in industrial food systems – but also to achieve food andnutrition security especially in countries of the South. To facilitate such transitions,we need a thorough analytical understanding of change processes in food systems.Different transition frameworks have been suggested in the literature, with theMulti-Level Perspective (MLP) on socio-technical transitions being the mostprominent. While MLP has proven to be a useful heuristic, earlier studies haveidentified weak points (e.g. regarding agency, power, landscape factors andinstitutional innovations) calling for the integration of complementary concepts.This paper proposes a framework for the analysis of sustainability transitions infood systems that integrates elements of the Social Practices Approach, TransitionManagement, Strategic Niche Management and Innovation Systems. The startingpoint of the suggested analytical process is to map emerging sustainable foodsystems along the MLP levels of niche, regime and landscape. To better understandprocesses of creating and developing initiatives in food systems, our mapping relieson Innovation System approaches (e.g. identifying actors and their networks),Transition Management (e.g. niche stabilization and expansion processes) andStrategic Niche Management (e.g. breakthroughs). As wider transitions require areconfiguration of relevant regimes, interactions across levels are of particularinterest. The Social Practices Approach helps to make niche-regime interactionsexplicit. Finally, by looking at the impacts and outcomes of change initiatives, wecan make statements about the type of transition pathway taken – and whether aninitiative has transformative potential or is an incremental adaptation. Further workis needed to refine and test the framework in different contexts.

MICROMORPHOLOGY OF POLLEN GRAINS FROM BISEXUAL AND FUNCTIONAL MALE FLOWERS OF POMEGRANATE
Authors: ENGIN Hakan , GÖKBAYRAK Zeliha
Published: April 2018

Modern taxonomy uses pollen grain morphology as an important tool due to itsspecific and diverse features. Pomegranate is an andromonoecious species havingtwo type flowers on the same plant, in other words, hermaphrodite flowers(bisexual) and male flowers (functional male flowers) that develop on the sameplant. The length of polar axis (P) and the equatorial diameter (E) as well as P/Eratio of pollen grains, collected from both bisexual and functionally male flowersof the cultivar ‘Caner I’, were analyzed using scaning electron microscopy (SEM).The length of polar axis (P), the equatorial diameter (E), and P/E ratio wascompared between the two grain. The sculpturing pattern of the exine of both typeflowers was striate, with more parallel longitudinal ridges Pollen from bothbisexual and functional male flower types is similar in size (≈21 μm). In contrast tothe divergent pistil development observed between bisexual and functional malepomegranate flowers, no differences in pollen morphology were detected. Thepollens had prolate shape (P\E=1.65 vs 1.59) in both types of flowers.

The history of woody plant introduction is closely linked with that of transportationand the European exploration of the planet (16th–19th centuries). Each colonialpower established major botanical gardens and experimental stations in variousparts of the world. By the 20th century, the purpose of introductions shifted fromfood plants to timber and other species yielding non-agricultural products. Finally,during the latter part of the 20th century the importance of ornamental speciesincreased dramatically, especially to the more developed and wealthier regions.Over the past two centuries many species have started to spread in their introducedranges. Until relatively recently the majority of introduced woody species havebeen highly beneficial, if not essential, to humanity’s development, but now everincreasingnumbers of species are becoming detrimental to the maintenance of theearth’s biodiversity and to the well-being of human societies. Throughout the 19thand specially in 20th century the large-scale planting of trees for timber productionhas been one of the main reasons for the introductions of a large number of species,especially conifers e.g. Pinus, Picea. Pseudotsuga and Poplars and Willowsspecies. By using methods of mass and individual selection and by establishing ofprovenances tests, as well as by half and full sib lines of selected exotics test trees,genetical potential productivity and adaptability of introduced species have beentested in numerous experimental plots in areas where introduced have been done.This paper attempts to unravel the relationships between humans and woody plantsby looking at the changes in the introduction of species, the way they are perceivedby different human groups and the impact these non native species have on foresttrees improvement and other human activities.
BIOMONITORING OF ATHMOSPHERE AIR POLLUTION IN THE FOREST ECOSYSTEMS AND ECO-TONE ZONE
Authors: BEGU Adam
Published: April 2018

Within our research, the air quality of 62 forest ecosystems from Republic ofMoldova was assessed, taking into consideration the lichens indicator speciesspecific diversity, abundance and toxitolerance. It was established that theMoldavian forest ecosystems do not contain reserves concerning critical loads forSO2 pollution, the annual average for the vegetation season for dendrologicalspecies being 0,02 mg/m3 air, and for communities of lichens and cyanobacteria,organisms sensitive to pollution, represented only 0,01 mg/m3. Lichen indicationdemonstrated that the current level of pollution is between 0,05 and 0,5 mg/m3 SO2air, thus long-term harmful effects are manifested in all 62 studied forestecosystems and the ecosystems from the eco-tone zone. We believe that for theRepublic of Moldova lichen, indicator species can provide a scale of 6 levels: 5levels characterized by species with different toxitolerance degree and the last stepbeing an area in which lichens are completely missing, thus the most polluted area.Within the Republic of Moldova territory, there were reported 3 forest ecosystemsin which the air is evaluated as clean air, 11- low polluted air, 31- moderatepolluted air, 12- polluted air, 3- high polluted air and those with critical polluted airwas missing.

“Bieno’’ cheese is an indigenous dairy product in Macedonia with autochthonoustraditional production technology which dates back from the Ottoman Empire. Theresearch includes and presents the results of the chemical composition and safety ofraw milk used for traditional production of ‘’Bieno’’ cheese, technology andphysico-chemical and microbiological quality of ‘’Bieno’’ cheese. The quality ofthe milk samples was determined within the permissible maximum according todata legislation. It is necessary to respect the hygienic-sanitary norms related tocultivation, preservation and care of the milking herds, and with the righttechnology of milking. After 45 days of ripening the researchers recorded theaverage results for the following parameters of the ‘’Bieno’’ cheese: moisture(38.63%), dry matter (61.37%), milk fat (26.89%), milk fat in dry matter (43.83%),proteins (26.53%), ash (9.25%), salt (5.21%) and the average of yield (9.36%). Theresearch specified the microbiological quality of “bieno” cheese after 45 days ofripening in accordance with the special requirements of food safety regarding themicrobiological criteria. Nowadays, there is a growing interest of consumers forcheeses produced with traditional technologies, usually based on handmadeproduction, characterized by piquant, unique and specific aromas, atypical forindustrial cheeses. The technology, physico-chemical and microbiological qualitycould be used in the protection of the origin and geographical labelling based on itsunique technology. The data obtained serve as the basis for creating standardizedproduction procedures, leading to the uniform quality of these products.

Mapping with LiDAR data is not a standardized practice, though LiDAR databasesare increasing in all countries in Europe. We develop and test a simple method forautomated land-cover mapping. The study area was a farm located at a natural parkof southern Spain. It comprises 502 ha covered by Mediterranean forestagroecosystems, like dehesa (a very open woodland of scattered evergreen treesused by grazing animals), woodland and scrubland, and transitions among them,composing a heterogeneous landscape. This heterogeneity is caused by variationsin holm and cork oak tree density and a sclerophyllous shrub cover, i.e., 3Dstructure of woody vegetation. Using aerial photographs digitization, Landsatimage classification, and image segmentation of tree crowns, land-cover maps weregenerated. Besides, other maps were produced from LiDAR-derived canopy coverand height of tree vegetation and shrub stratum. These 3D variables allowed to awall-to-wall characterization of woody vegetation land-cover classes in the studyarea, that was completed with a NDVI assessment. The results show that automatedmapping with LiDAR is reliable and accurate enough in comparison with othermapping techniques. It outperforms them because its higher spatial resolution, andcan be combined with other remote sensing methods to provides an improvedunderstanding of forest landscapes.
Source-sink potential of the Atlantic forest Central Corridor
Authors: Simon Sabrina S , Schoereder José H , Teixeira Marcos C
Published: April 2018

Background. The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse and threatened biomes in the world. The fragmentation and deforestation have strong impacts upon biodiversity, and many ecological theories have been brought in discussion in order to predict its consequences. Many approaches, such as Pleistocene Refuges Hypothesis, Metapopulation and Source-Sink Theories, Island Biogeography Theory, Stepping-stones and SLOSS debate have been extremely useful in this issue, but not in practice as much as in theory. In this scenario, the aim of this study is to present simple tools to apply those theories in practical measurements, classification and knowledge about the role of conservations unities and small fragments in the landscape of the Central Corridor of Atlantic Forest. Methods. 33 forest fragments were selected over the Atlantic Forest Central Corridor territory to sample different sizes, altitudes and legal protection categories. Physical attributes and measures were taken using GIS data (as area, shape and connectivity). Results. There is a vast variety of connectivity among fragments in the Central Corridor landscape. Most of the federal conservation units act as a source or semi-source patch in the metapopulation in their own matrix, while most of the private areas act as sink patches. However, some source patches are too isolated to participate in the metapopulation system, acting as an isolated refuge. In addition, both source and sink fragments suffer strong edge effect, and some of them are not suitable for sustain species adapted to core area. Discussion. Edge effect is a real threat over any fragment, mostly because of the small area or the irregular shape. Efforts must be directed to minimize this impact. Small private patches are not capable to sustain many endangered and endemic species and are not suitable for releasement of rescued wildlife, but they are very important for the metapopulation and source-sink system, relieving the competition effects inside source patches, and acting as stepping-stones. Governmental incentives to preservation of every small natural area may act as a vital component of greater conservational strategies. Maintenance of large federal conservation units alone is not enough to decrease the danger of extinctions. Some of these conservation units are isolated fragments that may represent the only remain of the Pleistocene refuges, and they need small fragments around to keep the biologic flow of the metapopulation dynamics.

Authors: Kılcan Bahadır
Published: April 2018

Abstract

This study aims to develop a scale to measure eight-grade secondary school students' attitudes towards individual peace. The items of the scale have been prepared by the researcher based on a literature review. The study sample included 223 eight grade students from different schools in the Mamak district of Ankara for the 2015-2016 school year. At the end of the analysis, the correlation coefficients obtained from item-factor total and adjusted correlation were found to be above .21 and all items were statistically significant. In the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), the scale items were split into four dimensions: "State before Peace", "Factors for Peace", "Factors for Sulking" and "Assitance in Peacemaking". The Chi-square (X2) value appropriate for the model developed based on the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and statistical significance levels showed that the proposed model was appropriate for the collected data. Reliability coefficients tested for the whole scale and its sub-dimensions revealed that the scale was suitable to measure eight-grade secondary school students' attitudes towards peace.
