    São cada vez mais frequentes os estudos e relatórios que enfatizam a urgência de se tomarem medidas de proteção ambiental que salvaguardem os ecossistemas naturais e garantam a saúde humana. O sexto e mais recente relatório global ambiental publicado pela ONU (GEO, 2019) refere que a crescente urbanização do mundo pode ser encarada como uma oportunidade para a melhoria da qualidade de vida dos cidadãos, enquanto é percorrido o caminho rumo às metas de ação climática. As cidades apresentam-se como espaços onde a sustentabilidade constitui e “constituirá um desafio cada vez maior em todos os domínios e onde o comportamento de cada um dos seus habitantes terá de estar em articulação com diversas políticas do nível municipal ao global” (FERREIRA, 2019, p. 10). Os eco-bairros pretendem ser uma resposta neste sentido, fazendo uso de uma gestão sustentável dos recursos, apostando em energias renováveis e nos recursos endógenos, acautelando a participação local nos processos de decisão, assim como em processos de sensibilização e educação ambiental Gomes, (2009), Martinez (2005), Belchior-Rocha (2015, 2018), Borga (2019). Ao incorporarem vários princípios da Sustentabilidade, os eco-bairros proporcionam qualidade de vida e em simultâneo o respeito pelos recursos naturais, privilegiando processos participativos na sua gestão, promovendo uma maior consciência coletiva sobre a sustentabilidade e adoção de práticas de preservação do espaço público, situação onde o Serviço Social pode e deve ter um contributo importante.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Agrárias, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Recursos Genéticos Vegetais, Florianópolis, 2014No Brasil, a produção de pera é insuficiente para atender a demanda interna, gerando uma crescente necessidade de importação de frutas que podem ser produzidas nas regiões mais frias. Por isso, a pera é a fruta fresca importada em maior quantidade pelo Brasil. Por ser alógama devido à incompatibilidade gametofítica, a maioria das cultivares europeias de pereiras não produzem frutos com sementes sem a presença de insetos polinizadores. Neste contexto, foram realizados ensaios buscando elucidar os aspectos da biologia reprodutiva da pereira portuguesa (Pyrus communis L. cv. Rocha) e suas cultivares polinizadoras, assim como avaliar a qualidade das colmeias destinadas à polinização. Os resultados mostraram que a fenologia das cvs. Rocha e suas polinizadoras diferiu entre elas e entre os anos, podendo afetar significativamente a polinização. A data aproximada da plena floração das cultivares estudadas foi similar em 2012 (? 17//09), porém, diferiu em 2013. Foi observado que a cv. Rocha polinizada com pólen de cultivares compatíveis apresentou elevada frutificação efetiva, chegando a atingir até 67,8% de frutificação efetiva sem a aplicação exógena de giberelina. Além disso, nestes frutos observou-se maior número de sementes (>5 sementes.fruto-1), o que acarretou frutos com melhores índices de qualidade comparativamente com outros tratamentos de polinização. A autopolinização promoveu a formação de frutos (10,9% de frutificação efetiva em 2012 e 1,66% em 2013), mas em quantidade e qualidade inferiores aos frutos oriundos de polinização cruzada. A partenocarpia natural foi observada na cv. Rocha, mas esta incapaz de sustentar produções comercialmente viáveis (4,16% de frutificação efetiva). A aplicação exógena de ácido giberélico mostrou ser uma opção para o aumento da frutificação efetiva através do estímulo da formação de frutos partenocárpicos, contudo foi observada uma variação na sua eficiência entre os anos (frutificação efetiva de 74,1% em 2012, reduzindo para 30,0% no ano seguinte) e a tendência da redução da qualidade dos frutos formados, os quais eram menores e mais alongados do que os frutos com sementes. A produção de néctar variou entre cultivares e entre os anos, mas sendo sempre considerados volumes pequenos (Abstract: In Brazil, the pear production is insufficient to supply the domestic demand, creating a growing market for imported fruits that can be produced in south Brazil. Due to this, Brazil's fresh pear imports grow every year. Since pears are alogamous due to gametophytic incompatibility, most European pear cultivars do not produce fruit with seeds without the presence of pollinating insects. In this context, experiments were conducted to elucidate the aspects of the reproductive biology of the Portuguese pear (Pyrus communis L. cv. Rocha) and their pollinating cultivars, as well as the quality of the hives used for orchard pollination. The results show that the phenology of cvs. Rocha and their pollinators differs between them and years, which may significantly affect pollination. The approximate date of full bloom of the cultivars was similar in 2012 (~=17/09) while differ in 2013. We observed that cv. Rocha pollinated with pollen from compatible cultivars showed a high fruit set, reaching up to 67,8% of fruit set without exogenous gibberellin application. Moreover, in these fruits was observed a greater number of seeds (> 5 seeds.fruit-1), which resulted in higher quality fruits (scores compared with other pollination treatments). Self-pollination produced some fruits (10,9% of fruit set in 2012 and 1,66% in 2013), but in lower quantity and quality when compared with cross-pollination. Natural parthenocarpy was observed in cv. Rocha, but it was unable to sustain commercially viable yields (4,16% of fruit set). The exogenous gibberellic acid application was an option for increasing fruit set by stimulating the formation of parthenocarpic fruits, however we observed a variation of it's efficiency between years (fruit set of 74,1% in 2012, decreasing to 30,0% in 2013) and showed a trend of reduced quality of formed fruits, which were smaller and more elongated than the fruit with seeds produced by cross-pollination. Nectar production varied among cultivars and years, but always being considered small volumes (<3µL) and whith low sugar content (<20ºBrix), which resulted in low attractiveness of pollinators (<1 bee.tree-1.minute-1). In the surrounding area of the orchard we observed strong competition with Mimosa scabrella and Piptocarpha angustifolia wich bear more and richer nectar. We observed poor natural pollination due to the non-pollen deposition on the stigmas of 'Rocha' after a legitimate flower visit by Apis mellifera, possibly due to lack of pollinating plants and low density of quality beehives in the orchard. The hives used for pollination showed a variation in their population between years, wich can be observed in the significant reduction in the number of combs covered with larvae and honey reserves from 2012 to 2013, resulting in lower activity of foraging bees in the period of maximum flight activity (100,8 foraging bees entering in the hive.minute-1 in 2012 and 59,3 foraging bees entering in the hive.minute-1 in 2013). We also observed the presence of Varroa destructor (infestation of 1.89 and 1.45% in 2012 and 2013, respectively) and Nosema ceranae (712.000 spores.bee-1 in 2012)

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia.Este trabalho objetiva analisar os fatores condicionantes que culminaram nos movimentos de massa de novembro de 2008 no município de Gaspar. A área de estudo encontra-se no médio vale do Rio Itajaí-Açu, formado por dissecados em colinas, outeiros e montanhas e acumulação em planície aluvionar e rampas de colúvio. Para entender os processos de movimentos de massa na área de estudo, foram analisadas as características de clima, características geológico-geomorfológicas, tais como tipo de rocha, presença de falhas e fraturas; modelados e feições, forma de encosta, setores de encosta, declividade, hipsometria e características de uso da terra. Para melhor compreender os mecanismos que envolvem o processo de ruptura para ocorrência de movimentos de massa na área de estudo, foram selecionados quatro locais para realizar estudo de detalhe, onde foram coletadas amostras para análise granulométrica e foram medidas tensões e ângulo de atrito. Os procedimentos para tal análise foram apoiados na interpretação de fotos aéreas, imagens de satélites e trabalhos de campo. Foram mapeadas 96 cicatrizes de movimentos de massa que ocorreram essencialmente no desastre de novembro de 2008. Os movimentos de massa foram predominantes nos segmentos côncavos das encostas e nas litologias associadas ao Grupo Itajaí, a qual é predominante na área de estudo. Dentre os 96 movimentos de massa, os escorregamentos foram os que causaram mais prejuízos à população, sendo que o escorregamento do bairro Sertão Verde teve como consequência 8 vitimas fatais e centenas de casas danificadas e destruídas. O bairro Belchior Baixo também foi bastante atingido, ocorrendo na Rua Adão Schimitt um escorregamento que decorreu em 2 vitimas fatais. A suscetibilidade a movimentos de massa faz parte do meio físico da área de estudo, porém as diversas obras de cortes de talude para construção de vias e ocupação residencial são ações que intensificam o processo. Espera-se que essa pesquisa possa fornecer subsídios aos órgãos públicos para medidas e ações no gerenciamento de áreas de risco, bem como para diretrizes de uso e ocupação da terra, para evitar que novas áreas suscetíveis a movimentos de massa sejam ocupadas, reduzindo, portanto, a possibilidade de novos desastres desse tipo.This paper aims at analyzing the conditioning factors that culminated in mass movements November 2008 in Gaspar city. The study area is located in the middle valley of Itajai-Açu River, formed by dissected hills, mountains,mounds and accumulation in floodplain and colluvial ramps. To understand the processes of mass movements in the study area, we analyzed the characteristics of climate, geological and geomorphological features such as rock type, the presence of faults and fractures, modeled and features,hang section, slope shape, hypsometry and land use characteristics. To better understand the mechanisms that involve the rupture process for the occurrence of mass movements in the study area, four sites were selected to perform the study of detail, where samples were collected for analysis and particle size were measured tension and friction angle. The procedures for this analysis were supported in the interpretation of aerial photographs, satellite images and field work. Ninety six mass movements marking were mapped which occurred mostly in November 2008 disaster. Mass movements were regnant in concave slopes segments and lithologies related to the Itajai Group, predominant in the study area. Among the ninety six mass movements, landslides were causing more damage to the population, and the slip of the Sertão Verde neighborhood resulted in eight fatal victims and hundreds of homes damaged or wrecked. Belchior Baixo neighborhood was very reached too, occurring in a slip Adam Schmitt Street held in two fatal victims. The mass movements susceptibility is part of the physical environment, but many slope cuts operations to roads construction and residential occupation are actions that enhance the process. It is hoped that this research can provide grants to public agencies for actions in the risk areas management, as well as guidelines for use and occupation of the land, to prevent new susceptible to mass movement areas are occupied,thus reducing the possibility of further disasters

Nomenclatural act recorded at Zoobank: 579523D3-4EB0-40FE-9C5A-58C9C6CB63DB Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Greek amanita which is a mushroom genus and refers to the fact that colonies resemble this kind of mushroom. The colonies are very abundant in some reef patches in Bocas del Toro, especially those associated with high water movement, such as in canals (Bocas del Drago, Sachen, Hospital Point) or open sea (Swan Island, Caves, Punta Vieja). The colonies are usually hanging upside down or attached to vertical surfaces. The colonies consist of one to several small rounded or conical heads with cylindrical stalks protruding from a thick common basal test. Maximum stalk length was 5 cm but most were smaller with 1 cm in diameter. The largest colony analyzed was about 5 cm in maximum diameter. The color in life is red, purple, pink or orange, but when preserved the general color faints while the zooids are still orange or yellowish. There is an elongate patch of darker color between the siphons of each zooid, showing an arrangement of zooids in more or less concentric circles around the surface of the heads of the colonies. In some colonies the tunic color is very faint and those patches of darker color between the siphons stand out. No circular systems nor rudimentary cloaca were observed. The tunic in the heads is soft in consistency, smooth and without incrustations. The tunic in stalks and basal mass is opaque and slightly wrinkled, encrusted by foreign particles and epibionts. The inner matrix of the tunic may contain fecal pellets and sand grains. Zooids lay vertical and parallel to each other, open on the upper surface of the heads and extend from the surface to base of the colony. The zooids are yellowish and measuring up to 2 cm in length, the thorax corresponding to less than ¼ of the zooid length. The oral and atrial siphons have a conspicuous circular musculature, and six lobes each. The lobes are short, rounded and separated from each other. Each lobe forms a semi-sphere with the convex side towards the aperture and the concave side facing outwards. The atrial siphon is apical on the top of a wide atrial cavity. The body wall is transparent with dense longitudinal and transverse musculature in each side of the thorax. The longitudinal muscles are more than 30 narrow bands (~5 fibers in each band) in each side of the thorax and converging to four wide bands along the abdomen till the posterior end. The numerous transverse muscles on the thorax lay under the longitudinal muscles forming a mesh, but they are absent between the tentacles area and the beginning of the first row of stigmata. In the abdomen, the transverse musculature is present only as a narrow ring at the most anterior region. The oral tentacles are slender and sum at least 20, arranged in three size orders, but the exact number was not determined. The anterior row of stigmata curves anteriorly in the dorsal region and has a varying number of 19 to 26 stigmata per side, while the second and third rows have 20 to 23 stigmata in each side. The esophagus is long and a trapezoid smooth and slightly asymmetrical stomach is at the posterior end of the abdomen. An oval posterior stomach is present and usually situated vertically at the bottom of the loop. The gastric vesicle was not detected. The pyloric gland contains approximately eight thin, sinuous or more straight pyloric tubules, starting in the posterior region of the stomach. Only 4–6 of the tubules appear in the exposed face of the intestine. The anus is bilobed and ends at the level between the second and third rows of stigmata. There is a granular material in the posterior region of the abdomen of some zooids. The gonads form a cluster inside the intestinal loop. The testis has numerous irregular follicles (>10), the sperm duct is straight, and the ovary has only one oocyte developed. Only one embryo develops in the atrial cavity and was detected in samples from July and August (MZUSP 550, MZUSP 551 and DZUP EUD 243). The larval trunk is ~ 1.7 mm long, yellow and has inconspicuous vesicles throughout the body wall. It has three adhesive papillae in the antero-median line, distant from each other, with short stalks. One specimen (MZUSP 550) has larvae with three, four and five adhesive papillae. Usually there are four pairs of ectodermal ampullae that alternate with the adhesive papillae, but the sample MZUSP 551 has larvae with five pairs of ampullae. The ocellus and statocyte are in a posterior position. The tail wounds about ½ of the way around the larva.Published as part of Paiva, Sandra Vieira & Rocha, Rosana Moreira Da, 2018, A large marine Caribbean mushroom field: description of Eudistoma amanitum sp. nov.

    Na última década, Portugal e a Europa têm enfrentado profundas crises económicas e sociais, impactando o panorama político de muitos países, afetados pelos efeitos de longo prazo da crise de 2008, das medidas de austeridade (a Grande Recessão), e, mais recentemente, da crise pandémica de covid-19 e os seus efeitos sociais e políticos. Porém, esta área regional também tem sido caracterizada por espaços de recuperação e inovações sociais e políticas. Para discutir a consequência da Grande Recessão e da pandemia da covid-19 e tentar encontrar respostas para estas questões, através da inclusão de vários olhares disciplinares (nomeadamente da ciência política, das políticas públicas, do serviço social e da sociologia), especialmente no que toca às inovações sociais e políticas, os membros do grupo de investigação 'Política e Cidadania', do CIES-Iscte, foram convidados para uma conferência realizada no Iscte – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa nos dias 17 e 18 de junho de 2021 e, posteriormente, para elaboração deste livro. O livro está organizado em quatro partes, com as Crises e Inovações vistas pelo serviço social (I), pelas políticas públicas (II), pela sociologia (III) e pela ciência política (IV). Este livro contribui, assim, com uma análise mais aprofundada e rica, de cariz multidisciplinar, sobre as crises (Grande Recessão e covid-19) e inovações em Portugal e na Europa.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
