ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND THE INTERPRETATIVE POSSIBILITIES OF THE PERIÁ RIVER IN PRIMEIRA CRUZ/MA THROUGH MENTAL MAPS
No full textA presente pesquisa objetivou entender as possiblidades interpretativas do Rio Periá em Primeira Cruz/MA para a educação ambiental por meio dos mapas mentais. Essa atividade foi realizada na escola Municipal Leôncio Rodrigues do município de Primeira Cruz/MA, com alunos do 8º Ano do Ensino Fundamental. Os mapas mentais desempenham um papel significativo na interpretação geográfica de um lugar, pois representam nossa compreensão subjetiva e individual do ambiente em que vivemos. Foram selecionados alguns mapas mentais confeccionados pelos alunos para a análise, de forma a colaborar para organizar informações, entender padrões espaciais e tomar decisões com base em raciocínios espaciais. Realizaram-se visitas in loco na área de estudo, entrevistas com pais e vizinhos, exposição de fotografias antigas e atuais, para complementação das ideias expressas nos desenhos. Ao aplicar essa abordagem ao Rio Periá, pôde-se identificar como os discentes entendem as causas e os impactos causados à orla da cidade em virtude das marés influenciando o rio, bem como as soluções possíveis para mitigar esses problemas. Além disso, propiciou uma compreensão mais profunda dos elementos naturais e culturais associados ao rio, como a biodiversidade local, as atividades de ingestão e as tradições das comunidades ribeirinhas.The present research aimed to understand the interpretative possibilities of Rio Periá in Primeira Cruz/MA for environmental education through mental maps. This activity was carried out at Leôncio Rodrigues Municipal School in the municipality of Primeira Cruz/MA, with 8th-grade students in elementary school. Mental maps play a significant role in the geographical interpretation of a place because they represent our subjective and individual understanding of the environment in which we live. Some mental maps created by the students were selected for analysis in order to help organize information, understand spatial patterns, and make decisions based on spatial reasoning. On-site visits to the study area were conducted, along with interviews with parents and neighbours, and the presentation of old and current photographs to complement the ideas expressed in the drawings. By applying this approach to Rio Periá, it was possible to identify how the students understand the causes and impacts on the city\u27s waterfront due to the tides influencing the river, as well as possible solutions to mitigate these problems. Furthermore, it provided a deeper understanding of the natural and cultural elements associated with the river, such as local biodiversity, livelihood activities, and the traditions of riverside communities
Asymmetric Analysis of Brazil-China and Brazil-US Bilateral Trade Flows
Get PDFThis study investigates the asymmetric impacts of real bilateral exchange rate volatility on Brazil’s export and import flows. The analysis focuses on Brazil’s trade with the United States and China, disaggregated by two-digit industry classifications (99 sectors), covering the period from 2000 to 2017. The main findings reveal asymmetries in both exports and imports: 12.12% and 9.09%, respectively, in Brazil–US trade; and 10.10% and 8.08%, respectively, in Brazil–China trade.This study investigates the asymmetric impacts of real bilateral exchange rate volatility on Brazil’s export and import flows.

Institutions, Democracy, and Fiscal Outcomes in Latin America
Get PDFThis article examines the relationship between institutional and democratic indicators and fiscal behavior in Latin American countries. The study reveals that democratic conditions affect not only expenditure patterns but also public debt levels. Furthermore, debt levels are influenced by other political-institutional framework characteristics. The results suggest that democratic advancement in Latin America has the potential to curb the scale of State intervention in the region’s economies and to provide the stability needed to reduce public debt and improve fiscal performance.This article examines the relationship between institutional and democratic indicators and fiscal behavior in Latin American countries.

The Trajectory of Douglass North’s Institutionalist Economic Thought: an interpretation of theoretical and analytical mutations and aggregations
Get PDFThis article proposes an analytical presentation of the systemic theoretical framework developed by Douglass North. Drawing on his seminal works from 1981, 1990, and 2005, we show how North incorporates heterodox theoretical and analytical categories into the orthodox foundations of economics in order to better explain the phenomena surrounding development. Beyond the categories present in the mainstream approach, he integrates into his explanatory framework more consistent variables such as allocative efficiency, procedural rationality, uncertainty, learning, path dependence, and belief, among others. Finally, North emphasizes the role of institutions as promoters of freedom—and, in turn, of economic change.

Ney Matogrosso, from a snail to a neanderthal man
No full textApós deixar o conjunto Secos & Molhados, Ney Matogrosso iniciou uma carreira solo como cantor. O artigo constitui uma análise histórico-crítica de seu primeiro disco na nova fase e do show “Água do céu – Pássaro”, quando se comemoram os 50 anos de seu lançamento. Produzido e efetivado como um trabalho conceitual, perpassado pelas ressonâncias da performance art, esse trabalho de vanguarda lançado em 1975 recorreu a procedimentos artísticos que envolviam a sonoridade, a cenografia, a indumentária e a ambiência do espetáculo. Ainda ressoando inovador hoje em dia, o registro ocupa papel de destaque na discografia brasileira do século XX.After leaving the band Secos & Molhados, Ney Matogrosso began a solo career as a singer. This article is a historical and critical analysis of his first album in this new phase and of the show “Água do Céu – Pássaro”, which marked the 50th anniversary of its release. Produced and executed as a conceptual work, permeated by the resonances of performance art, this avantgarde work released in 1975 used artistic procedures that involved the sound, scenography, costumes and ambience of the show. Still resonating as innovative today, the record occupies a prominent role in the Brazilian discography of the 20th century
Spatial dispute and political participation in twenty years of community cultural management of Teatro Comunitario de Berisso (Buenos Aires)
No full textEste trabajo analiza los dispositivos de construcción de poder territorial desplegados por el grupo de Teatro Comunitario de Berisso (Buenos Aires, Argentina) en sus veinte años de gestión cultural comunitaria. Específicamente, se estudian las estrategias desenvolvidas en la disputa por la apropiación y construcción del espacio, los tipos de relación que el grupo establece con los distintos actores de la trama política y cultural local y su participación en las políticas culturales públicas. Utilizamos un andamiaje teórico transdisciplinario con aportes de la sociología, las políticas culturales, la gestión cultural, la historia y el campo de estudios del teatro comunitario, y una metodología cualitativa que incluyó registros de campo como entrevistas en profundidad a referentes del grupo y análisis documental. En esa línea, este trabajo busca aportar nuevas claves interpretativas para comprender los procesos de la gestión cultural comunitaria en territorios urbanos.This work analyzes the devices for constructing territorial power deployed by the Berisso Community Theater group (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) in its twenty years of community cultural management. Specifically, the strategies developed in the dispute over the appropriation and construction of space, the types of relationships that the group establishes with the different actors of the local political and cultural fabric and their participation in public cultural policies are studied. We used a transdisciplinary theoretical scaffolding with contributions from sociology, cultural policies, cultural management, history and the field of community, theater studies and a qualitative methodology that included field records such as in-depth interviews with group leaders and documentary analysis. Along these lines, this work seeks to provide new interpretative keys to understand the processes of community cultural management in urban territories
DISTRIBUIÇÃO DOS PIVÔS CENTRAIS EM REGIÃO DE MOSAICO DE UNIDADES DE CONSERVAÇÃO NO SEMIÁRIDO MINEIRO
Get PDFEste estudo teve como objetivo analisar a distribuição espacial de pivôs centrais em municípios que integram um mosaico de Unidades de Conservação no Norte de Minas Gerais, avaliando os impactos potenciais dessa expansão em uma região semiárida. Foram utilizados dados de uso e cobertura da terra da Coleção 9 do MapBiomas, referentes aos anos de 1985, 1995, 2005, 2015 e 2023, complementados por vetorização manual de pivôs não identificados pela plataforma, a partir de imagens dos satélites Landsat 5 e 8. A análise foi embasada em referenciais teóricos que discutem a relação entre irrigação, conservação ambiental e disponibilidade hídrica. Os resultados indicaram um aumento significativo da presença de pivôs centrais no período analisado, inclusive em áreas inseridas em Unidades de Conservação, com destaque para a Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) da Serra do Sabonetal. Embora, a expansão da agricultura irrigada contribua para o dinamismo econômico local, ela impõe pressões crescentes sobre a disponibilidade hídrica, sobretudo em região semiárida, intensificando os desafios socioambientais em um território marcado pela escassez de água.
