Assessing different imaging velocimetry techniques to measure shallow runoff velocities during rain events using an urban drainage physical model
Authors: Naves Juan , García Juan T. , Puertas Jerónimo , Anta Jose
Published: February 2021

Abstract. Although surface velocities are key in the calibration of
physically based urban drainage models, the shallow water depths developed
during non-extreme precipitation and the potential risks during flood
events limit the availability of this type of data in urban catchments. In
this context, imaging velocimetry techniques are being investigated as
suitable non-intrusive methods to estimate runoff velocities, when the
possible influence of rain has yet to be analyzed. This study carried out a
comparative assessment of different seeded and unseeded imaging velocimetry
techniques based on large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) and
bubble image velocimetry (BIV) through six realistic but
laboratory-controlled experiments, in which the runoff generated by three
different rain intensities was recorded. First, the use of
naturally generated bubbles and water shadows and glares as tracers allows
unseeded techniques to measure extremely shallow flows. However, these
techniques are more affected by raindrop impacts, which even lead to
erroneous velocities in the case of high rain intensities. At the same time,
better results were obtained for high intensities and in complex flows with
techniques that use artificial particles. Finally, the study highlights the
potential of these imaging techniques for measuring surface velocities in
real field applications as well as the importance of considering rain
properties to interpret and assess the results obtained. The robustness of
the techniques for real-life applications yet remains to be proven by means
of further studies in non-controlled environments.
Diagnosis toward predicting mean annual runoff in ungauged basins
Authors: Gao Yuan , Yao Lili , Chang Ni-Bin , Wang Dingbao
Published: February 2021

Abstract. Prediction of mean annual runoff is of great interest but still poses a
challenge in ungauged basins. The present work diagnoses the prediction in
mean annual runoff affected by the uncertainty in estimated distribution of
soil water storage capacity. Based on a distribution function, a water
balance model for estimating mean annual runoff is developed, in which the
effects of climate variability and the distribution of soil water storage
capacity are explicitly represented. As such, the two parameters in the
model have explicit physical meanings, and relationships between the
parameters and controlling factors on mean annual runoff are established.
The estimated parameters from the existing data of watershed characteristics
are applied to 35 watersheds. The results showed that the model could
capture 88.2 % of the actual mean annual runoff on average across the
study watersheds, indicating that the proposed new water balance model is
promising for estimating mean annual runoff in ungauged watersheds. The
underestimation of mean annual runoff is mainly caused by the
underestimation of the area percentage of low soil water storage capacity
due to neglecting the effect of land surface and bedrock topography. Higher
spatial variability of soil water storage capacity estimated through the
height above the nearest drainage (HAND) and topographic wetness index (TWI)
indicated that topography plays a crucial role in determining the actual
soil water storage capacity. The performance of mean annual runoff
prediction in ungauged basins can be improved by employing better estimation
of soil water storage capacity including the effects of soil, topography,
and bedrock. It leads to better diagnosis of the data requirement for
predicting mean annual runoff in ungauged basins based on a newly developed
process-based model finally.
Improvements to the use of the Trajectory-Adaptive Multilevel Sampling algorithm for the study of rare events
Authors: Wang Pascal , Castellana Daniele , Dijkstra Henk A.
Published: February 2021

Abstract. The Trajectory-Adaptive Multilevel Sampling (TAMS) is a promising method to determine probabilities of noise-induced transition in multi-stable high-dimensional dynamical systems. In this paper, we focus on two improvements of the current algorithm related to (i) the choice of the target set and (ii) the formulation of the score function. In particular, we use confidence ellipsoids determined from linearised dynamics in the choice of the target set. Furthermore, we define a score function based on empirical transition paths computed at relatively high noise levels. The suggested new TAMS method is applied to two typical problems illustrating the benefits of the modifications.
Inventory and changes of rock glacier creep speeds in Ile Alatau and Kungöy Ala-Too, northern Tien Shan, since the 1950s

Published: February 2021

Abstract. Spatio-temporal patterns related to the viscous creep in
perennially frozen sediments of rock glaciers in cold mountains have rarely
been studied outside the densely populated European Alps. This study
investigates the spatial and temporal variability of rock glacier movement
in the Ile Alatau and Kungöy Ala-Too mountain ranges, northern Tien
Shan, a region with particularly large and fast rock glaciers. Over the
study region of more than 3000 km2, an inventory of slope movements was
constructed using a large number of radar interferograms and high-resolution
optical imagery. The inventory includes more than 900 landforms, of which
around 550 were interpreted as rock glaciers. Out of the active rock
glaciers inventoried, 45 are characterized by a rate of motion exceeding
100 cm/a. From these fast rock glaciers we selected six (Gorodetzky,
Morenny, Archaly, Ordzhonikidze, Karakoram, and Kugalan Tash) and studied
them in more detail using offset tracking between repeat aerial images and
historical and modern high-resolution optical satellite data. Two of these
rock glaciers showed a steady increase in decadal surface velocities from
the 1950s onwards, with speeds being roughly 2 to 4 times higher in
recent years compared to the 1950s and 1960s. Three rock glaciers showed
similar accelerations over the last 1 to 2 decades but also phases of
increased speeds in the 1960s. This development indicates a possible
significant increase in current sediment and ice fluxes through rock
glaciers and implies that their material transport in the region might gain
geomorphodynamic importance relative to material transport by glaciers,
assuming the latter decreases together with the regional glacier shrinkage.
The study demonstrates how air and satellite image archives are exploited to
construct one of the longest decennial times series of rock glacier speeds
currently available. Our results are in line with findings from Europe about
rock glacier speeds increasing with atmospheric warming and underline local
variability of such an overall response.

Published: February 2021

The bank shall assess its client’s creditworthiness; assess the extent to which the client requesting the financing is eligible to be granted the bank’s financing or not. Assessing such eligibility shall be based on real reasons and facts so the bank could defend such responsibility in case of prosecution, based on its decision to approve or reject funding and its justified reasons and facts. On the other hand, the credit decision maker should be familiar with the previous transaction financing, because such information contributes to the formation of an opinion of the decision maker that in turn determines the offer of the fund or not. So, the credit information is the base for the decision maker upon which the idea about the customer’s eligibility who demands credit funding is formed. The Emirati legislative significantly contribute to the literature of credit information, through establishing a specialized company which monopoly credit information operation. Such credit information report offers the banks several benefits due to the abundance of information contained obtained from the companies several information suppliers. Such matter leads to information abundance needed by the report, enabling the credit decision-maker to assess the client’s eligibility, where the company’s provider abides by providing true information.

Published: February 2021

Esse trabalho é resultado de pesquisa sobre a lógica estoica empreendida desde 2013 no âmbito do projeto O problema da consistência do conceito estoico de phantasia (representação)1, financiado pelo CNPq. Como o conteúdo de ao menos parte das representações racionais é de caráter proposicional, e como a compreensão dessas representações é crucial para o entendimento da epistemologia estoica, tornou-se necessária, antes de atacarmos o problema estoico das representações, uma investigação prévia sobre a lógica proposicional estoica.O livro, que consiste em uma introdução geral à lógica proposicional estoica, divide-se em três capítulos.No primeiro, realizamos uma análise da teoria estoica do asserível, o equivalente estoico da proposição da lógica contemporânea. Partindo de uma apresentação histórica sobre a redescoberta da lógica proposicional estoica, apresentamos as definições de lógica do Pórtico2 e sua taxonomia do asserível.No segundo capítulo, analisamos a teoria estoica dos argumentos, os logoi syllogistikoi, que correspondem aproximadamente aos argumentos da lógica contemporânea.No terceiro capítulo, propomos a derivação de prova de diversos argumentos célebres da Antiguidade que podem ser reduzidos pela silogística estoica. Apresentamos ao todo quatorze argumentos.Os estoicos não dispõem de uma linguagem formal, mas apresentam os argumentos usando linguagem natural e variáveis. Porém, para fins de exposição, usaremos neste livro, sempre que preciso, a notação da lógica contemporânea.São coautores desse livro Alexandre CabeceirasLuís Márcio Fontes e Rodrigo Pinto de Brito, pois fizeram profunda revisão na obra, e muitas de suas valiosíssimas correções e sugestões (tanto de conteúdo e quanto de expressão) foram incluídas ao longo do trabalho. Rodrigo e Luís Márcio, por sua vez, ainda compuseram apêndices. Os bolsistas PIBIC Rafael Spontan e Lauro de Moraes também acompanharam e colaboraram com os trabalhos de revisão. Dedicamos este trabalho ao nosso grande amigo Antonio Tarquínio, sempre presente, e à memória de nosso filósofo Epicteto.
GEOGRAPHICAL SYSTEMS IN THE FIRST CENTURY BC: POSIDONIUS’ F 49 E ̶ K AND VITRUVIUS’ ON ARCHITECTURE VI 1. 3 ̶ 13
Authors: Boechat Eduardo M. B.
Published: February 2021

The article analyses innovative ethno-geographical systems of the first century BC. During Hellenistic times, the science of geography made use of increasingly advanced mathematical and astronomical skills to ensure a scientific basis for the cartographical project; however, this geographical research apparently disregarded the natural and human environments. There is a paradigm change in the referred century. The Stoic Posidonius focuses on the concept of zones found in the early philosophers and finds a compromise between the ‘scientific’ and the ‘descriptive’ geographies. Likewise, Vitruvius conveys a geographical system which associates climatic, somatic, and psychic features.

Authors: Hauser Eduardo , Barbosa Aline Rodrigues , Pfützenreuter Andréa Holz
Published: February 2021

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of Brazilian older adults who drive a car/ride a motorcycle, according to sociodemographic characteristics. METHODS: This cross-sectional study uses data from the 2018 Surveillance System for Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Vigitel). The prevalence of drivers was determined by an affirmative answer to the following question: “Do you drive a car, motorcycle and/or other vehicle?”. RESULTS: Among the 15,333 individuals aged 65 and over living in Brazilian capitals and the Federal District, the overall prevalence of drivers was 28.73% (95%CI 27.22 – 30.29) and was higher among men (53.37%; 95%CI 50.45 – 56.28), those with higher education (65.44%; 95%CI 61.98 – 68.75), and individuals aged 65 to 69 years (35.7%; 95%CI 33.06 – 38.61). Among the regions of Brazil, prevalence varied from 35% (Midwest and South) to approximately 22% (North and Northeast). Florianopolis (42.2%; 95%CI 38.05 – 46.47) and Palmas (40.32%; 95%CI 32.74 – 48.38) were the cities with the highest prevalence of older drivers. CONCLUSIONS: Characteristics such as sex, age group, region, and state capital of residence affect the prevalence of older drivers. Our results contribute to knowledge about how older adults choose to move around in large Brazilian cities, enabling proposal of strategies to improve the quality of this population’s displacement.

INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation increases five times the risk of stroke. Anticoagulation reduces the incidence of cerebrovascular events. However, many patients do not receive thromboprophylaxis. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence of atrial fibrillation in the elderly at a Brazilian university hospital and the proportion of anticoagulation prescription. Secondary objectives were to identify the therapeutic options, the main reasons for non-prescription and the factors associated with ineffectiveness or lack of treatment. METHOD: cross-sectional study with a consecutive sample of 1,630 outpatients selected at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre between April and June of 2017. Atrial fibrillation was identified in 220 (13.50%) individuals. Medical records from 145 patients were accessed, followed by a telephone interview. The association between variables and outcomes was checked using the Mann-Whitney’s U Test and the binary logistic regression. RESULTS: The prevalence of atrial fibrillation was 13.50%. Anticoagulation therapy was prescribed in 77.93% of cases. In 76.11% of patients, warfarin was the chosen drug. There was a tendency towards no prescription in patients with previous bleeding (RR = 2.32; 95%CI 0.95 – 5.64; p = 0.06) and falls (RR = 2.02; 95%CI 0.82 – 5.03; p = 0.08). We found an association between reduced functional capacity (Barthel’s Activities of Daily Living Score < 80) and higher rate of anticoagulation in therapeutic aim (RR = 0.22; 95%CI 0.06 – 0.87; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of atrial fibrillation in this population was 13.50% and in 77.93% of cases anticoagulant were prescribed. Functional impairment was associated with a higher rate of anticoagulation in therapeutic aim.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the presence of depressive symptoms and its association with self-rated health among older adults living in Long-term Care Facilities. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study in which institutionalized older adults were screened by using the Mental State Mini Exam. Standard questionnaires were used to collect the following data: 1) sociodemographic variables, 2) depressive symptoms, and 3) self-rated health. The descriptive statistical analysis by measures of central tendency and dispersion was performed to characterize the sample. The multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to associate the variables. In all tests, the alpha value of 0.05 was considered. RESULTS: A total of 127 older adults living in 47 long-term care facilities were evaluated. Among those who presented depressive symptoms, 32.3% were classified as having mild symptoms and 13.4% had severe symptoms. Regarding self-rated health, 46.5% considered it poor/very poor. In the analysis of the association between mild and severe depressive symptoms and self-rated health, statistical significance (p = 0.004 and p = 0.001, respectively) was found. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that more attention should be directed to institutionalized older adults who have symptoms of depression and to their impacts on the negative self-rated health.

Published: February 2021

INTRODUCTION: Adults aged 80 and over represent the fastest growing segment of the population in emerging countries. Studies of cancer mortality trends in the oldest old population are scarce in Brazil. OBJECTIVE: To describe trends in cancer mortality in the Brazilian oldest old, by gender and cancer type, from 2000 to 2017. METHODS: This was a descriptive study with a time trend design, based on data from the Mortality Information System (of the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System). The variables analyzed were year of death, sex and cancer site. The five most common types of cancer were identified, and mortality rates and trends were calculated for each one. Trends were determined using joinpoint regression. In all cases where one or more joinpoints were statistically significant, the average annual percent change (AAPC) was calculated based on the arithmetic mean of the annual percent change (APC), weighted by the length of each segment. The statistical significance of the APC and AAPC was estimated by calculating 95% confidence intervals (CI) with an alpha level of 0.05. RESULTS: Mortality rates increased over time (AAPC = 1.50; 95%CI, 1.20 – 1.70) in both males (AAPC = 1.90; 95%CI, 1.70 – 2.10) and females (AAPC = 1.30; 95%CI, 1.00 – 1.50). Men had higher mortality rates than women. The most common causes of cancer-related death were prostate cancer (AAPC = 1.70; 95%CI, 1.10 – 2.30) in men, and breast cancer (AAPC = 1.90; 95%CI, 1.50 – 2.20) in women, followed by cancers of the lung and bronchus, stomach and colon. All rates increased over time, except in the case of stomach cancer. CONCLUSION: The study revealed increasing mortality rates for screenable and/or preventable cancers, alerting to the need for preventive measures.

Published: February 2021

This study aims to see the role of banks as an effort to achieve financial inclusion. MSMEs have a very vital role in increasing economic growth in Indonesia, there are various types of MSMEs that are scattered throughout the region. The problem of MSMEs, in general is a problem of capital. To overcome this, there is one model, namely financial inclusion, which can encourage the financial system to be accessible to all levels of society. Financial inclusion is one way to socialize the financial sector, especially to facilitate banking services and financial access for the public. This study uses primary data and secondary data, in this study, researcher used MSMEs, as the population of the study. Total MSMEs in Jakarta is 930,620 Units. The results of the study show that all the variables are significant positive, in the efforts to finance MSMEs in Indonesia, which means that banks play an important role in channeling funds to MSMEs, so that inclusion runs well. This is in line with the Entrepreneurial finance theory which emphasizes that increasing business capital both from internal and external, followed by increased entrepreneurship and management capacity will be able to improve company performance, especially MSMEs.
“O Haiti (não) é aqui”?: silêncios, regateios e estilhaços nos diálogos Haiti-Brasil
Authors: Rocha Vanessa  Massoni da
Published: February 2021

Este artigo analisa perdas e silêncios na literatura contemporânea a partir da perspectiva Haiti-Brasil. Apesar de compartilharem histórias similares ligadas ao imperialismo europeu, à colonização, à diáspora africana, à escravização, à exploração de riquezas naturais como o açúcar e às insurgências independentistas, a ilha caribenha do Haiti e o Brasil parecem pouco se conhecer. A circulação de bens culturais se faz diminuta e, à primeira vista, se mostra associada a visões negativas. Visto pelo Haiti, o Brasil se limita ao futebol e à violência do exército nacional em missões ligadas à ONU. Visto pelo Brasil, o Haiti se resume aos imigrantes precarizados, à canção estigmatizante de Caetano Veloso e ao imaginário de subdesenvolvimento e pobreza crônica. Propomos uma trajetória sobre estes imaginários cruzados e nos atemos ao caminho da tradução de obras literárias haitianas no Brasil. A publicação em 2020 da obra bilíngue Estilhaços – antologia de poesia haitiana contemporânea pode ser interpretada como novo capítulo desta história repleta de lacunas e mal-entendidos. Ausência sentida no imaginário cultural brasileiro, o Haiti tem a chance de ser ressignificado através da antologia recém-lançada, na qual emerge uma potência literária em espelhamento com o Brasil.
A violação do direito à maternidade no sistema prisional feminino brasileiro
Authors: Oliveira Lillian Zucolote , Oliveira Lourival José
Published: February 2021

O presente trabalho tem como escopo analisar as violações do direito a unidade familiar no sistema prisional brasileiro, bem como abordar acerca do amparo legal e o recente entendimento jurisprudencial acerca do referido tema. Para tanto, partiu-se da análise acerca das condições do encarceramento feminino, do perfil das mulheres presas, dos institutos nacionais e internacionais aplicáveis a mulheres e crianças em meio prisional, dos efeitos contrastantes entre o encarceramento masculino e feminino, bem como das consequências causadas pelo encarceramento de crianças junto às mães ou pela sua separação abrupta. Para isso, utilizou-se do método dedutivo, com pesquisas bibliográficas, estudo de documentos e análise do habeas corpus n. 143541 do Supremo Tribunal Federal. No decorrer do trabalho, constatou-se que tanto o encarceramento de crianças junto às mães quanto sua separação acarretam em consequências gravíssimas para ambas, razão pela qual concluiu-se que a principal forma de garantir condições dignas para o exercício da maternidade no meio prisional e a proteção da unidade familiar é por meio da adoção de medidas desencarceradoras.

Authors: Sobral de Souza Patrícia Verônica Nunes Carvalho , Garcia José Ailton
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo tem como tema razão penal e garantismo no processo decisório da modernidade, cujo objetivo foi discorrer sobre o direito penal no contexto da modernidade, sobre a razão penal e a pretensão punitiva do Estado, além do contexto constitucional do direito penal garantista. Para tanto, utilizou-se da pesquisa bibliográfica, de caráter exploratório, através de livros, artigos e legislações. Ao fim, concluiu-se que o Brasil se encaixa em um modelo de Estado de direito social, que prima pela intervenção mínima do Poder Público nas liberdades individuais, com base na legalidade e demais garantias tuteladas pela Constituição Federal de 1988.
A insustentabilidade do delito de casa de prostituição no direito penal brasileiro
Authors: Calixto Renato Kramer da Fonseca , De Siqueira Leonardo Henrique Gonçalves
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo discorre sobre a insustentabilidade do delito de casa de prostituição previsto no artigo 229 do código penal brasileiro. Para tanto, será feito um estudo do bem jurídico, concretizado pelo alemão Claus Roxin. Dentro desse estudo verifica-se que há situações em que não há violação do bem jurídico. Algumas delas, como mostraremos, se enquadram naqueles comportamentos previstos no tipo sob análise. Adiante, será abordado o princípio da adequação social, o qual, como será visto, funciona não apenas como um princípio regulador do tipo, mas também anterior à sua criação. Além disso, valeremo-nos do estudo das teorias da pena, seja ela retributiva ou relativa. Nesta última, apresentaremos as teorias da prevenção geral negativa e positiva. Para tanto, empregaremos o método hipotético-dedutivo, pois partiremos de critérios objetivos - teoria do bem jurídico, teoria da adequação social e da teoria da prevenção geral -, no sentido de aplicá-los aos casos particulares. Por fim, mostraremos, muitas vezes tendo como base aqueles critérios, que o crime de casa de prostituição deve ser expurgado do nosso sistema jurídico-penal, haja vista não violar nenhum bem jurído, ser compatível com a adequação social e, por fim, ser alheio aos fundamentos da pena, incorporados através da teoria da prevenção geral.

A adoção explícita do compliance pela administração pública direta.
Authors: Paiva Freitas Daniel Paulo , Blanchet Luiz Alberto
Published: February 2021

As práticas de conformidade e integridade, conhecidas pelo termo compliance, reúnem regras adotadas no âmbito público e privado, para prevenção, detecção e sanção de condutas administrativas eivadas de corrupção, fraude e desvios legais. Tais condutas foram estipuladas e adotadas inicialmente para as empresas, no ambiente privado, contudo, oportunamente, passaram a ser implementadas também na esfera pública, como decorrência direta dos princípios constitucionais da Administração Pública, em especial do art. 37, da Constituição Brasileira, tais como a legalidade, a moralidade, a impessoalidade, a eficiência, dentre outros. Diante dessa conscientização, observa-se que a Administração Pública passou a editar normas para implantação de práticas de integridade no âmbito federal, em diversos setores, através da Lei nº. 13303/2016 e da Portaria nº. 1089/2018. Mais recentemente, alguns Estados da Federação seguiram a orientação, é o caso da Lei nº. 17715/2019, de Santa Catarina e da Lei nº. 19857/2019, do Paraná. A intenção não é exaurir o tema, mas destacar sua importância perante os agentes públicos e seu fundamento constitucional, bem como promover o debate no meio acadêmico no sentido de que sejam respeitados os princípios que favorecem o desenvolvimento pleno e sustentável da sociedade brasileira.
Monitoramento Ambiental do Dióxido de Nitrogênio (NO2) na Área Urbana de Porto Velho – RO utilizando Amostradores Passivos
Authors: Souza Robison Costa , Azevedo Mariangela Soares , Justina Eloiza Della
Published: February 2021

O custo de realização é um dos aspectos que interferem na quantidade de pesquisas sobre a qualidade do ar no Estado de Rondônia. Em Porto Velho, essa estatística negativa se mantém, o que dificulta o acesso dos interessados aos índices de gases nocivos. Partindo desse pressuposto, esse trabalho teve como objetivo realizar o monitoramento ambiental da qualidade do ar em Porto Velho, utilizando, para isso, a metodologia dos Amostradores Passivos, a fim de mensurar os níveis de dióxido de nitrogênio. As principais fontes do NO2 são da queima de biomassa e de veículos, o gás é responsável por problemas respiratórios e alergias. Na pesquisa foram selecionados cinco pontos e os resultados comparados à legislação ambiental brasileira. Nos resultados, os pontos 1,2,3,4 e 5 obtiveram médias de 6,82 µg/m³; 7,21µg/m³; 10,77µg/m³; 8,79µg/m³; 9,82µg/m³, respectivamente, demonstrando que os níveis durante a pesquisa estiveram dentro dos padrões ambientais de 100µg/m³. Nos resultados, demonstrou-se a eficiência da metodologia, comparando-a com testes realizados por equipamentos ativos. Foi possível concluir que os amostradores passivos são uma alternativa acessível tanto para detectar diversos gases quanto para monitorar a qualidade do ar nas cidades do Estado de Rondônia e de todo Brasil.
Micromorfologia para Caracterização de Processos Deposicionais em Paleocabeceira no Planalto Pinhão/Guarapuava - Paraná
Authors: Gazola Karina de Cássia , Paisani Julio Cesar , Biffi Vitor Hugo Rosa
Published: February 2021

Neste trabalho utilizou-se da caracterização micromorfológica para a compreensão dos processos de colmatação de paleocabeceira de drenagem ((paleofundo de vale de zero ordem) na Superfície de Pinhão/Guarapuava. Com base na caracterização macroscópica, foram reconhecidas quatro sequências sedimentares que preenchem a paleocabeceira de drenagem: paleossolo enterrado com topo acumulativo, sequência inferior colúvio-aluvial (co-alúvial), sequência colúvial intermediaria e sequência colúvial superior. Foram coletadas amostras indeformadas para análise micromorfológica, a qual contou com nomenclatura e critérios descritivos de Stoops. Como resultados, verificou-se a distribuição relativa dos constituintes (DRC) do tipo integrada (enáuli-porfífica e porfiro-enáulica), sinalizando diferentes fluxos no processo de sedimentação. A DRC enáulica apresenta agregados granulares e, em microagregados, indica escoamento superficial. Já a DRC porfírica exibe microestrutura maciça, sinalizando fluxos densos, possivelmente fluxos de lama. Os materiais que compõem a sequência colúvio-aluvial (co-alúvio), sequência colúvial intermediaria e topo do paleossolo enterrado são provenientes de escoamento superficial. A partir da sequência colúvial superior predominou o processo de fluxos de lama que levou à colmatação da paleocabeceira com a sequência colúvial superior.
O Sistema Único de Saúde no Período de 2003 a 2018-9: impactos da dinâmica econômica
Authors: Heimann Moacir Roberto
Published: February 2021

Neste artigo apresentamos uma análise sobre a dinâmica econômica e os reflexos para o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) durante o período entre 2003 a 2018-9. A partir da análise da política econômica adotada durante o período em questão, buscaremos relacionar as políticas macroeconômicas de distribuição de renda, acesso ao crédito, investimentos públicos e política tributária com a criação de programas sociais que refletiram no SUS, destacando principalmente os seguintes programas: Programa Bolsa Familia, Programa Fome Zero, Programa Brasil Sorridente, Programa Farmácia Popular e o fortalecimento do Programa da Saúde da Família. Outro elemento abordado no trabalho busca relacionar o período de crise de 2014 a 2018-9 e os reflexos no SUS.
Itinerários da Educação Básica no Ensino Fundamental II no Conteúdo Curricular de Geografia: da Constituição Federal de 1988 à prática esperada da BNCC
Authors: Lanes Marcia Batista
Published: February 2021

No artigo, apresentam-se e discutem-se os PCN, principal referencial para o currículo do Ensino Fundamental até a entrada em vigor da BNCC, a fim de analisar e compreender como se deram as políticas curriculares, assim como a prática curricular era orientada em sala de aula, no ensino de Geografia para o 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental II. Esse estudo se baseia na metodologia da análise do conteúdo em dois livros didáticos desta série. Adotou-se essa sistemática de análise para aferir como estes apresentavam o conceito de território e suas variáveis, considerados fundantes nos estudos geográficos, uma vez que preconizavam os PCN a importância destes para a Geografia, ao longo da Educação Básica, assim como também a opção teórico-metodológica dos autores dos livros analisados, frente ao materialismo ou ao simbolismo geográfico. Conclui-se que as práticas curriculares anteriores à BNCC nos revelam autores que seguiam determinações próprias ao escreverem livros, ignorando os orientadores de currículos, justificadas por formações voltadas ao materialismo geográfico, em detrimento do simbolismo ao qual a Geografia também se propõe.

Published: February 2021

Este artigo tem a intencionalidade de compreender como o uso de imagens do lugar (Bairro Gabriela) pode potencializar a construção do conhecimento geográfico no processo de interpretação da realidade socioespacial, com enfoque no conceito de lugar e o estudo sobre os espaços de vivência dos alunos no ensino de Geografia na escola básica. Para isso, delineamos os seguintes objetivos específicos: identificar as relações que os alunos têm com o lugar em que vivem; elaborar mapas mentais e fotografias; e entender como o uso de imagens contribui para o conhecimento e a afetividade em relação ao lugar. O referencial teórico foi baseado em autores como: Dubois (2001), Yi-Fu Tuan (1983), Libâneo (2001), Santos (2005), Sontag (2004) e outros que discutem a temática. A pesquisa se caracterizou como uma pesquisa-ação com caráter aberto e flexível pelas possiblidades de mudança na escola. Os resultados indicaram que os alunos se sentiram mais instigados a conhecer o bairro, demonstraram consistência quanto ao conceito de lugar, afetividade e criticidade, identificando problemas e apresentando atitudes propositivas, voltadas às intervenções que pudessem requalificar o lugar.
