Published: December 2020

New Zealand responded swiftly to the Covid-19 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to prevent the spread of sickness and prevent unnecessary deaths. The government initiated a four-level social distancing alert system with specified measures at each level to manage and minimise the risk of COVID-19. By late March 2020, Alert Level 4 required people to stay in their homes in their ‘bubbles’ or family units. Social contact was restricted other than for essential personal movement and travel was severely limited. The Ministry of Health (2020) produced tangihanga (funeral rituals) policy guidelines for Māori, requiring the immediate collection of the deceased’s body by a funeral director. Gatherings to do with death and post-death customs were severely restricted and all marae (indigenous gathering places, land, buildings) were closed and burials could only include the immediate family bubble. In this autoethnographic paper, we draw on one Māori family’s experience of the birth and death of a baby with an anticipated life-limiting illness, during the most restrictive lockdown phase, level 4. We describe the impact COVID-19 tangihanga policy restrictions had on the family. The guidelines prevented them from conducting timely customary internment rituals with support from kaumātua (older men and women) and whānau (family including extended family and friends) in accordance with their cultural preferences. To prepare for future pandemics we recommend mana whenua (local Māori who have authority over their lands and marae) have autonomy to plan and manage tangihanga to avoid unnecessary distress, particularly where there is a known palliative condition.

Authors: Dayal Hem Chand , Alpana Reema
Published: December 2020

Abstract

Reflective practices in pre-service teacher education enables teachers to evaluate their pedagogical skills. This study aimed to integrate different assessment techniques such as peer assessment, lecturer assessment and self-assessment in a micro-teaching setting. Using 20 pre-service teachers post-microteaching (MT) reflection, we explored how these teachers viewed peer feedback and lecturer feedback. This study also analyses how pre-service teachers self-evaluate their MT. The findings indicate that per-service teachers find both peer and lecturer feedback useful in terms of in terms of identifying their strengths and weaknesses as well as proving incentives for improvement. Furthermore, the findings show that when engaged in self-evaluation, the pre-service teachers tend to focus more on self-knowledge.  The findings reaffirm the importance of peer and self-evaluation in teacher education.
Collect data in home country: Negotiations, supervisors and ethics
Authors: Guo Lina
Published: December 2020

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese students studying in doctoral and postgraduate programmes outside of China numbered over 600,000 (2017). A number of these students may return to China to gather data. This article explores tensions between compliance with the bounds of formal ethical approval and further research opportunities that may arise in the field of one’s home country while studying a PhD enrolled in New Zealand. It also reports on negotiation in approaches between socio-cultural contexts of doctoral study in New Zealand and data gathering in China by acknowledging the tensions using two decision-making experiences in one Chinese doctoral scholar’s journey of collecting data ‘at home’. One is the negotiation of the ethics of situations and the other is how combined reflective journaling and timely supervisor feedback supported researcher decision-making. Some recommendations to new researchers who are going to collect data from their home country are shared.

The article considers the photochemical degradation of the phenol solution in the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles, which synthesized in moderate conditions and dimensions vary between 10-30 nm and the 100 mg/ml NH4OH solution. The appearance of photochemical dissociation was confirmed on the basis of the absorption curves taken before and after the process and Abs curves were drawn on the “Varian” device. Phenol's photochemical dissociation in UV-visible area has been confirmed by experiments.
ESTIMATION METHODOLOGY OF HEATING THE CONTACT PLACE OF CONTACT WIRE WITH CONTACT STRIP OF PANTOGRAPH
Authors: А. М. Mukha  , D. V. Ustymenko
Published: December 2020

Purpose. The main purpose of our work is to develop a method for assessing the heating temperature of the contact area of contact wire with contact strip of pantograph (the contact wire element – the contact strip element of pantograph, in abbreviated form – CWE – CSEP) for parking conditions when preparing the train for the trip with the determination of the maximum current load on given node. Methodology. We proposed to consider the CWE – CSEP contact from the point of view of the classical theory of electrical contact and heating of a homogeneous body. Findings. The features of thermal state of the current collection unit of CWE – CSEP in the conditions of preparing the electric rolling stock for the trip are considered. Within the framework of the study a methodology for assessing the heating temperature of the zone of power sliding contact in the conditions of train preparation for the trip has been developed. The application of the methodology will help reduce the number of burnings through of the contact wire due to the precise choice of the heating/conditioning time of the train for a certain heating/conditioning current when preparing the electric rolling stock for the trip. Originality. It has been established that the reason for burnings through the contact wire in stalls when preparing the train for the trip is the excess of permissible temperature of the power sliding contact as a result of prolonged action of the heating/conditioning current. In contrast to the standard approach for determining the duration of the train heating, the proposed methodology takes into account additional factors, namely, the wear and condition of the contact wire, condition of contact strip of the pantograph. This methodology is based on the classical theory of electrical contact and the theory of heating a homogeneous body, which allows accurate assessment of the thermal state of a power sliding contact, and is convenient enough for use in operating conditions. Practical value. The results of the work are of practical value, since the technology of preparing a train for a trip can be supplemented by calculating the temperature of the CWE – CSEP contact in accordance with the proposed methodology. This will allow applying a set of measures to prevent burnings through of the contact wire in case of possible temperature exceeding the permissible value for a specific train in specific conditions.

The aim of this study is to analyze the connection between anti-crisis fiscal measures adopted by EU governments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and these countries’ GDP growth. The study relies on methods of statistical analysis, including cluster analysis, to examine the challenges of forecasting tax revenue collections during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is possible to make preliminary conclusions regarding the relationship between fiscal anti-crisis measures in EU countries and these countries’ GDP growth even in the absence of the actual data. The study has revealed variations in forecast GDP growth caused by a higher than usual degree of uncertainty. The best way to minimize such variations is to constantly monitor the situation and adjust the forecast estimates depending on the changes in the relevant factors. The variations in forecast estimates can also stem from adjustments for the changes in tax revenues of EU countries implementing fiscal anti-crisis measures. Most EU countries resorted to such instruments as deferral of certain tax payments, temporary tax breaks, reduction of tax rates, tax loss carryforwards, cancellation or reductions of social contributions. The European leaders in terms of anti-crisis fiscal measures are the Czech Republic and Ireland – these countries used four out of five instruments and were followed by Austria, Hungary and the UK, which used three instruments. We also analyzed the coefficient of tax elasticity for European countries and demonstrated that tax reliefs (tax preferences) influence the level of tax revenue. The hypothesis that there is an indirect connection between the anti-crisis fiscal measures and GDP growth was confirmed. It is shown that clusters of EU countries grouped depending on their anti-crisis fiscal measures do not coincide with the clusters of countries grouped depending on their GDP growth estimates. Thus, a tentative forecast can be made that the fiscal anti-crisis measures taken by EU countries will not have a direct impact on their GDP growth.
The Influence of Taxes on Inflows and Outflows of Foreign Direct Investment

Published: December 2020

Macroeconomic management of a small open economy in a currency board arrangement faces two serious problems: first, under a fixed exchange rate, fiscal policy is the only effective macroeconomic instrument for smoothing out the business cycle; second, the twin deficits phenomenon, if it exists, may jeopardize the stability of the currency board arrangement. This paper uses quarterly seasonally adjusted Eurostat data for the period of 1999–2019, the Hodrick–Prescott filter and a vector autoregression (VAR) to answer the three questions that are of utmost importance to Bulgarian policy-makers: first, is the discretionary fiscal policy of the Bulgarian government procyclical or countercyclical? Second, do the automatic stabilizers in the Bulgarian state budget function properly? Finally, is the twin deficits hypothesis valid for Bulgaria? Our findings imply that the fiscal discretion of the Bulgarian government is procyclical, while the automatic fiscal stabilizers do not work effectively. The first part of the twin deficits hypothesis (the causal link between the fiscal balance and the current account balance) is confirmed but the second part of the twin deficits hypothesis (the positive relationship between the fiscal balance and the current account balance) is rejected for Bulgaria. It may be inferred that both sides of the Bulgarian state budget (revenue and expenditure) need to be improved in order to increase the effectiveness of Bulgaria’s fiscal policy. Low budget deficits (not higher than 3% of GDP) are recommended for improving the current account balance and encouraging economic growth.

Authors: Abrantes Fabiano Ferreira , Moraes Marianna Pinheiro Moraes de , Rezende Filho Flávio Moura , Pedroso José Luiz , Barsottini Orlando Graziani Povoas
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Importance: Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a non-usual manifestation of rheumatologic, infectious, and neoplastic diseases. Etiological diagnosis is a challenge, but when made promptly it creates a window of opportunity for treatment, with the possibility of a total reversal of symptoms. Observations: HP is an inflammatory process of the dura mater that can occur as a manifestation of sarcoidosis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and IgG4-related disease. The HP case evaluation is extensive and includes central nervous system imaging, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, serology, rheumatologic tests, and systemic survey for other manifestations sites. After systemic investigation, meningeal biopsy might be necessary. Etiology guides HP treatment, and autoimmune disorders are treated with corticosteroids alone or associated with an immunosuppressor. Conclusion: HP is a manifestation of several diseases, and a precise etiological diagnosis is crucial because of the difference among treatments. An extensive investigation of patients with HP helps early diagnosis and correct treatment.

Published: December 2020

Abstract Interaction between Brazilian Northeast Jet Stream (BNEJS) and Upper Tropospheric Cyclonic Vortexes (UTCV) isn't still well known, as well as its seasonal variability and relation with rainfall pattern. This study's aim is to determine the air circulation patterns in UTCV events with BNEJS in La Niña and El Niño years and its connections with rainfall in the Alagoas State. These connections were analyzed for 9 years between 1988 and 2000 in El Niño, La Niña and Neutral years. NCEP Reanalysis data, rainfall data from 71 meteorological stations and satellite images were used. Fifty-eight percent of 140 observed UTCVs were associated with BNEJS events located in the Brazilian Northeast and 26%, located over the Alagoas State. Three types of BNEJS patterns, denominated as Meridional (M), Zonal (Z) and Transversal (T), have been identified. The M-type BNEJS was the most frequent in Alagoas State, especially in El Niño years. Z and T-types occurred less frequently and were rarely seen in La Niña years. The results showed that in the M-type BNEJS events in 48% of days were not registered precipitation, while Z and T events recorded rainfall in almost 96% of the days.

Published: December 2020

Abstract: The Odonata Order comprises one of the largest groups of aquatic insects, 7,000 species are described worldwide, with approximately 860 species registered in Brazil, around 14% of the global fauna known to date. However, there are still great gaps in the knowledge of Odonata fauna in many areas of Brazil. This study aims to present the results of the survey of Odonata species sampled in three counties in the state of Amapá. The state is located in the north of the country, inserted in the Amazon Biome. Odonata were caught between January and December 2018, with 472 specimens being sampled, belonging to seven families, 36 genera and 53 species. In total, 27 of the species found during the study correspond to new records for the state of Amapá. Due to the lack of information on the diversity of the Odonata order in Amapá, the list of species presented should serve as input for new studies contributing to the knowledge of the order in the state.

Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT: Froghoppers (Mahanarva spp.) are pests of great economic importance for various regions of Brazil. Many species have a variation in the alar pattern, a parameter that often leads to incorrect identification. We collected froghopper adults in sugarcane fields in the municipalities of Murici and Maceió, in Alagoas, Lagoa de Itaenga and Camutanga, in Pernambuco, São Raimundo das Mangabeiras, in Maranhão, and União and Boa Hora, in the Teresina microregion in Piauí. The froghoppers were assembled and identified and are representatives of three species: M. spectabilis, M. fimbriolata, and M. posticata. This is the first record of M. spectabilis attacking sugarcane fields in the states of Piauí and Maranhão, Brazil. We found the species M. posticata and M. fimbriolata in the sugarcane fields of Alagoas and only M. posticata in Pernambuco.
Can physical activity influence the effect of the COVID-19 vaccine on older adults?
Authors: Pitanga Francisco José Gondim , Pitanga Cristiano Penas Seara , Beck Carmem Cristina
Published: December 2020

Abstract Studies have shown reductions in the immune response capacity with the aging process (immunosenescence). Lifestyle factors (physical activity and diet) have been investigated as possible adjuvants to improve the effect of vaccines on the immune system in the elderly. The aim of this opinion article is to analyze studies on physical activity and the effect of influenza vaccines in an attempt to suggest that their results can also be found in future studies on physical activity and vaccines against COVID-19. Considering the results of the studies analyzed, it could be suggested that the practice of physical activity improves responses to the influenza vaccine. Thus, it could be assumed that, when transferring these findings to COVID-19, the importance of regular physical activity in the specific elderly population becomes extremely relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: this study aims to learn the perception of adolescents, who are immersed in the digital age, about intimate partner violence, from the perspective of the Paradigm of Complexity. Method: a qualitative and strategic social research; 39 adolescents, males and females, attending high school in two state schools in a city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, participated in the study. Data was collected through interviews and focus groups between October 2016 and April 2017 and analyzed in the light of the referred Paradigm. Results: the results showed the following: acceptance of violence in intimate relationships among adolescents; persistence of taboos, myths and beliefs in society that were reproduced in the participants’ reports; new forms of violence, relationships and notions engendered and updated by the digital age; prevalence of psychological violence among adolescents. Conclusion: the study shows the association between love and violence out of jealousy and the control and power over the partner’s social networks as a legitimate form of love in the daily life of intimate relationships, which are expressed in different ways. Failure to accept certain conditions is perceived as a form of cheating. The Paradigm of Complexity contributed in an indispensable way by offering an integral look on the theme and by providing greater clarity about the elements that make up the phenomenon in an articulated and contextualized way.

ABSTRACT Objective: To measure the intra- and inter-rater reliability of a biophotogrammetric assessment protocol for thoracoabdominal motion in preterm infants. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study. Footage of 40 preterm infants was made in two views (lateral and anterior). The babies were placed in the supine position, with retroverted pelvis and semiflexed knees. Acrylic markers were positioned on surgical tape in eight predetermined anatomical points. We analyzed 4 variables in lateral view and 11 in anterior view (angular and linear) (ImageJ®), divided into two stages: 1. same frames - three blinded evaluators analyzed frames previously selected by the main researcher (inter-rater analysis 1), reviewing these same frames after 15 days (intra-rater analysis 1); 2. different frames - each evaluator selected the frames from the original video and repeated the protocol (inter-rater analysis 2), with a review after 15 days (intra-rater analysis 2). In stage 2, we tested the reliability of the entire process, from image selection to the analysis of variables. Data agreement and reproducibility were obtained by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Agreement was high, particularly in angular variables (ICC 0.82 to 0.99). Linear variables ranged between very good and excellent in analysis 1 (same frames: ICC 0.64 to 0.99) and analysis 2 (different frames: ICC 0.44 to 0.89). Conclusions: The present study suggests that the proposed protocol for the thoracoabdominal motion analysis of preterm neonates has high reliability.

Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate if the variables child’s sex, age, presence of siblings, parents working remotely, and external space affect the level of physical activity (PA) of Brazilian children during social distancing imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: An online questionnaire was applied by the LimeSurvey software from March to April 2020. Children were divided into four age groups, and the questionnaire comprised questions on family and household characteristics, domestic and children’s routines in the period of Brazilian social distancing. Based on the answers concerning children’s activities, the following variable was created: percentage of physical activity (%PA) in one-day period. Analysis of variance and regression analysis were performed to investigate the effect of demographic and parental activities on %PA. Results: The %PA decreases with increasing age, but increases with the availability of external space at home. No significant or interaction effects were observed for other variables. Age and external space at home are predictors of %PA. Conclusions: Household and personal characteristics of Brazilian children influence the level of physical activity performed by them during social distancing. Preventive measures can be adopted in the face of another similar period.

Lifted Bayesian Filtering in Multiset Rewriting Systems
Authors: Lüdtke Stefan , Kirste Thomas
Published: December 2020

We present a model for Bayesian filtering (BF) in discrete dynamic systems where multiple entities (inter)-act, i.e. where the system dynamics is naturally described by a Multiset rewriting system (MRS). Typically, BF in such situations is computationally expensive due to the high number of discrete states that need to be maintained explicitly.

We devise a lifted state representation, based on a suitable decomposition of multiset states, such that some factors of the distribution are exchangeable and thus afford an efficient representation. Intuitively, this representation groups together similar entities whose properties follow an exchangeable joint distribution. Subsequently, we introduce a BF algorithm that works directly on lifted states, without resorting to the original, much larger ground representation.

This algorithm directly lends itself to approximate versions by limiting the number of explicitly represented lifted states in the posterior. We show empirically that the lifted representation can lead to a factorial reduction in the representational complexity of the distribution, and in the approximate cases can lead to a lower variance of the estimate and a lower estimation error compared to the original, ground representation.

Makalede atasözlerinin farklı grupların etkileşimlerindeki rolü konu edilmiştir. Konu, Mardin’de yaşayan Süryani ve Mahallemilerin kullandıkları atasözleri ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Atasözleri, biri Mahallemilerle diğeri Süryanilerle ilgili olmak üzere ayrı ayrı yapılmış olan ve görüşmeye dayalı iki alan çalışmasından elde edilen verilere göre seçilmiştir. Amaç, atasözlerinin gruplar arası etkileşimlerde hem grubun farklılığını koruduğunu hem de gruplar arasında ortak bir anlam ve değerlendirme alanının oluşmasına aracılık ettiğini ortaya koymak olmuştur. Amaç doğrultusunda sadece grup içinde kullanılan atasözleri ile ortak kullanımda olan atasözleri karşılaştırılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, sadece grup içinde kullanılan atasözlerinin farklı sosyo-kültürel öğeler taşıdığı ve bu açıdan grubun farklı okuma biçimini korumasına aracılık ettiği görülmüştür. Benzer sos-yal dinamikleri ve hassasiyetleri barındıran atasözlerinin ise olayları okuma ve değerlendirme biçimi açısından ortak bir kullanım değeri kazanarak gruplar arasındaki sınırların yumuşamasına aracılık ettiği neticesine ulaşılmıştır. Bu açıdan makale, Süryani atasözleri ile ilgili yapılacak olan çalışmalara, genel anlamda da kültürel süreçlerin açıklanmasına katkı sunmayı hedeflemektedir.
İslam Karşıtı Söylemi Bilimsellik Kisvesine Büründürmek: Hans G. Kippenberg Örneği

11 Eylül 2001 olayların en önemli etkilerinden biri İslam’a karşı yüzyıllar boyunca önyargıyla bakan Batı dünyasında son derece olumsuz bir imajın oluşması olmuştur. Bu olaylar bazılarına göre bir “kılıç dini” olan İslam’ın bir “şiddet dini” olduğunu tescillemiş oluyordu. 11 Eylül saldırılarını en ince ayrıntısına kadar inceleyen komisyonun raporunda yer almasa da sal-dırganların valizlerinden elle yazılmış beş sayfalık Arapça mektuplar pi-yasa sunulmuştur. Alman dinler tarihçisi Hans G. Kippenberg, bu dokü-manların otantik olduğu varsayımından hareketle saldırganların bu eylem-lerinin Hz. Peygamber zamanında gerçekleştirilen gazvelere benzediğini savunmaktadır. Bu makalede Kippenberg’in kurgusunun yapı bozumu ya-pılarak bilimsel bir yaklaşımla bağdaşmadığı ortaya konulmaya çalışıl-maktadır. Sonuç olarak Kippenberg’in ideolojik ve indirgemeci bir söylemi bilimsellik kisvesine büründürerek güvenirlik kazandırmak istediği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Kippenberg örneği en nihayetinde bilimselliği şiar edinen Din-ler Tarihi gibi disipline hizmet eden insanlara tarihsel gerçekliklerin teba-rüz ettiği bir yerde mitlere mahal kalmaması gerektiğini hatırlatmaktadır.
Conveying Ćeif: Three Croatian Folklore and Folklife Writings on Bosniak Coffee Culture
Authors: Jurić Dorian
Published: December 2020

This article presents three short passages describing coffee and coffeehouse culture among Bosnian and Herzegovinian Muslims in the late nineteenth century. These texts are drawn from manuscripts collected by lay, Croatian folklore and folklife collectors who submitted them to two early collecting projects in Zagreb. The pieces are translated here for the first time into English and placed into historical and cultural context regarding the history of coffee culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the wider Ottoman Empire as well as the politics of folklore collection at the time. By using the Pan-Ottoman concept of ćeif as a theoretical lens, I argue that these early folklorists produced impressive folklife accounts of Bosniak foodways, but that these depictions inevitably enfolded both genuine interest and negative by-products of the wider politics of their era.

Published: December 2020

O debate acerca dos conflitos socioambientais está presente no cotidiano das pessoas no Brasil e no mundo, principalmente, em função da construção de novos empreendimentos e da urgência da busca por meios de avaliar os impactos oriundos destes. Uma alternativa é a Avaliação de Impacto Social (AIS), entendida como uma metodologia sistemática de identificação e gestão das questões sociais de um projeto. Com o objetivo de discutir a AIS no mundo e verificar uma possível aplicação no Brasil, este artigo realizou uma revisão sistemática sobre este assunto. Assim, usando a plataforma Scopus, buscou-se por artigos científicos publicados na língua inglesa que pudessem ser acessados gratuitamente na referida plataforma e que foram publicados entre 2009 e 2018, sendo analisado um total de 42 artigos. Para sistematizar os resultados, avaliou-se o tipo de metodologia de pesquisa, ano de publicação, periódico, autores, universidade de atuação do principal autor, país de origem da instituição dos autores e as palavras-chave dos artigos. Teve destaque as instituições de ensino localizadas na Austrália, o autor Frank Vanclay e o periódico Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal, sendo o maior pico de publicações os anos de 2013 e 2018. Na busca, apenas dois artigos referiam-se ao Brasil: um deles sendo um estudo de caso que não abordava diretamente a AIS e outro que apenas sugeria esta metodologia como alternativa para uma melhor identificação dos impactos. Espera-se que as informações levantadas por este trabalho possam contribuir para futuros trabalhos e discussões sobre a temática.

Para a comunidade científica, a busca por materiais ou solventes que reduzam a concentração de CO2 no meio ambiente é de suma importância, uma vez que isso em altas concentrações gera diversos problemas ambientais. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi promover a absorção de CO2 por moléculas de clorofila. A clorofila α e β, das amostras de alface e repolho, extraídas utilizando metanol e acetona como solventes. As bandas obtidas nos comprimentos de onda de 200 a 800 nm indicam a presença de bandas de clorofila α e β e de carotenóides, respectivamente, corroborando dados da literatura. As três "equações tricromáticas" de Lichtentaler e Wellburn que determinam a concentração de substâncias em μg mL-1 a partir dos valores de absorbância da clorofila α e β dos espectros UV / Visível indicaram uma faixa de concentração de 1,47 a 17, 76 μg mL- 1. Ao avaliar os testes de absorção de CO2 das amostras de clorofila, a porcentagem de absorção foi de 8,27 a 20,12%, e a concentração de clorofila e solvente de solubilidade tiveram relação direta com a absorção de CO2.

O uso agrícola utilizado de forma inadequada causa impactos significativos ao meio ambiente e principalmente aos recursos naturais, por isso a necessidade do conhecimento da aptidão agrícola das terras. Objetivou-se com esse trabalho mapear o uso atual das terras e avaliar a adequação destes usos em relação à aptidão agrícola das terras por meio de tecnologias de sensoriamento remoto e geoprocessamento. O método empregue para a classificação das terras para o uso agrícola foi o Sistema de Avaliação da Aptidão Agrícolas das Terras e adotou-se a metodologia fundamentada no uso de sensoriamento remoto e geotecnologias, analisando fatores importantes como, uso e ocupação da terra, declividade do terreno, classes de solos e dados climáticos. Os fatores analisados passaram pelo processo de padronização, para a normalização das unidades dos mapas, para a realização da álgebra de mapas. Essa metodologia e os fatores aplicados mostraram-se eficazes para o mapeamento da aptidão agrícola, permitindo assegurar que a área de estudo se apresenta apta em quase sua totalidade para o uso agrícola.

O crescimento urbano e a falta de aplicação de estratégias de gestão de resíduos sólidos causam danos ambientais, sociais e econômicos. Um dos meios para solucionar ou minimizar esses problemas é pelo desenvolvimento e aplicação de tecnologias de construção e das estratégias de gestão mais sustentáveis. Diante deste cenário, este artigo objetivou avaliar a implementação de técnicas de produção mais limpa (PmaisL) por meio da reciclagem de contêiner e o uso de sistema drywall em um escritório, a fim de promover uma gestão estratégica para minimizar resíduos da construção civil e aumentar a reciclagem. A partir de um modelo arquitetônico de um escritório foi realizada a avaliação das técnicas de PmaisL, com base nas cinco fases descritas pelo CNTL – Centro Nacional de Tecnologias Limpas. Foi investigada a possibilidade de reciclagem de um contêiner do tipo High Cube 40’ e o uso do sistema drywall. Na primeira fase foi definido o Ecotime e as barreiras técnicas e econômicas. Já na segunda fase foi possível ter uma melhor compreensão das vantagens do sistema drywall em relação à alvenaria tradicional. Nas últimas etapas foram realizadas a avaliação preliminar, ambiental e econômica, e ao final foi realizada a implementação. A avaliação da implantação de técnicas da PmaisL mostrou ser uma gestão estratégica para minimizar resíduos da construção civil e aumentar a reciclagem. O trabalho atingiu seu objetivo da PmaisL com o sistema drywall, possibilitando a classificação do nível 1 por meio da substituição da matéria-prima com o intuito de reduzir a fonte poluidora.

As Oficinas de Cartografia Socioambiental realizadas em escolas públicas da área de influência da Reserva Extrativista de Cassurubá – BA fazem parte das ações previstas no Subprograma de Educação Ambiental do Plano de Manejo desta Unidade de Conservação Federal de uso sustentável (UC). Nossos objetivos consistiam no fortalecimento e valorização da identidade e cultura ribeirinhas, introdução do debate acerca da RESEX de Cassurubá: sua história, relevância, delimitação territorial e o papel de cada uma das crianças em prol da conservação da sociobiodiversidade. Esse relato de experiência apresenta em sua abordagem temática inspiração nas discussões da Ecopedagogia e Alfabetização Ecológica, mediada por práticas da Pedagogia da Roda (roda de conversa, escuta sensível e dialogia), atividades sensoriais e artísticas, de forma a provocar as crianças a compartilharem seus saberes e experiências acerca de seu território a partir de múltiplas linguagens. Nesse percurso educativo pudemos levantar junto às crianças seu conhecimento sobre a RESEX, promover apropriação, cooperação, criatividade, felicidade, harmonia, protagonismo e sensibilizá-las com relação a importância de sua participação, consolidando essas falas e indicadores em um mapa colaborativo baseado em nossa roda de conversa. Essa experiência mostrou-nos a relevância da necessidade do exercício diário de propormos espaços educativos que atuem com base em métodos ativos de aprendizagem para que infâncias e juventudes se apropriem e se tornem protagonistas de suas histórias de vida em suas comunidades em prol da conservação de sua sociobiodiversidade.
A construção de equipamentos de saúde e educação em Florianópolis (SC), a proteção ambiental e a função social da propriedade urbana
Authors: Soares Sonia Rohling , Caraminan Laine Milene
Published: December 2020

Este artigo trata da função social da propriedade urbana e da construção de equipamentos de saúde e educação em detrimento das leis ambientais vigentes. Estabelecemos relações entre a Cidade, a Arquitetura e a Sustentabilidade (Ambiental) na medida em que evidenciamos a localização de equipamentos públicos de saúde e educação em Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP) de Florianópolis (SC) em descumprimento das disposições do Código Florestal (Brasil, 2012). As consequências da ocupação ilegal das margens de rios e córregos são inúmeras, desde o aumento da sensação térmica pela supressão da vegetação até danos materiais à população e ainda mais graves, como a perda de vidas humanas. Nesse sentido, conceituamos os instrumentos de política urbana dispostos no Estatuto da Cidade (Brasil, 2001) e a dotação de equipamentos urbanos de saúde e educação pelo Poder Público. Além disso, discutimos brevemente a função da propriedade urbana, realizamos um levantamento com base nas principais questões do meio ambiente e a conservação da biodiversidade no Plano Diretor (PMF, 2014) do município. Ainda, elaboramos uma breve análise ambiental dos canais de drenagem lindeiras aos equipamentos urbanos observados. Elaboramos mapas no software QGis, versão 2.18 para evidenciar os limites da ocupação das margens dos canais de drenagem e demonstrar que os equipamentos urbanos observados estão dentro ou muito próximo à areas non aedificandi de proteção ambiental onde a edificação é vedada/proibida. Por fim, fizemos uma crítica à atuação do Poder Público quanto a essa questão.
Geotecnologias e Análise Quantitativa de Nascestes na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Passo Fundo/RS-Brasil
Authors: Bezerra João Paulo Peres
Published: December 2020

Os impactos e as situações de degradação ambiental têm origem no atual modo de vida e sem dúvida, na racionalidade produtiva-destrutiva do atual sistema econômico. O século XX trouxe tamanho avanço: técnico, científico, informacional, intensificando as formas de produção capitalistas atentando contra a manutenção da Vida na Terra. São tempos de urgência ambiental e o ciclo das águas não pode tornar-se mercadoria. Neste contexto apresenta-se uma proposta metodológica onde articula-se fluxo de trabalho/geotecnológico a partir de geoprocessamento/ análise espacial com metodologia de interpretação visual de imagens de satélites, realizado integralmente software  livres de geoprocessamento. Como recorte espacial adotou-se a bacia hidrográfica do rio passo fundo localizada nas vertentes sul rio-grandenses do médio curso do Rio Uruguai. Tem-se também o intuito de apresentar uma breve reflexão teórica sobre os seguintes pontos: planejamento ambiental de bacias, inclusão geotecnológica com intuito de promover diálogos e debates que construam sinergia entre a gestão de recursos hídricos regional/local, acadêmicos e sociedade civil.

A infraestrutura urbana é composta por diversos sistemas, sendo o calçamento público e a vegetação viária um desses sistemas, objeto de estudo, sendo formado pelas ruas, que consentem o deslocamento de pessoas e objetos. O presente artigo faz menção a pesquisa realizada no município de Maringá-PR. O estudo Biogeográfico foi realizado em seis bairros do município, o item a ser analisado neste artigo será o calçamento público e a vegetação viária. Os bairros inventariados por amostragem foram: Zona 2 (implantado em 1943), área central, Vila Morangueira implantado em 1961, zona 23, Conjunto Habitacional Inocente Vila Nova Jr. (Borba Gato) implantado em 1978, zona 44, Jardim Oásis implantado em 1991, zona 37, Jardim Itália implantado em 2002, zona 20 e, por fim Jardim Oriental implantado em 2011, zona 16. Nestes bairros foram analisados o uso adequado da arborização no calçamento das vias públicas do sítio urbano e os eventuais transtornos causados ao município e aos pedestres que fazem uso do calçamento nos bairros. Aplicou-se inventário técnico e com os dados levantados em campo pode-se avaliar as caçadas nos bairros mais antigos e nos bairros novos da cidade. Constatou-se que nos bairros mais antigos a vegetação tem afetado com maior frequência o calçamento público em contrapartida os bairros com a exigência de calçamento ecológico as calçadas estão com menor incidência de destruição acarretadas pelas raízes das árvores.
