    Dissertação de Mestrado apresentado junto ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Desenvolvimento Regional e Meio Ambiente, Área de Concentração em Saúde e Meio Ambiente, para obtenção do Título de Mestre em Desenvolvimento Regional e Meio Ambiente. Orientador: Prof. Dr. Vanderlei ManiesiA Floresta Nacional do Jamari possui uma característica diferenciada por se tratar de uma unidade de conservação com a utilização sustentável de seus recursos através de manejos florestais. A geotecnologia proporcionou a análise através de cartas imagem de seu histórico de ocupação mostrando que a área da Flona do Jamari até 1997 apresentou cerca de 90% de seu desmatamento (6.761 ha) associados à atividade de mineração de cassiterita e os outros 10% (736 ha), até 2014, também associados à atividade de mineração. O estudo da análise de vulnerabilidade natural à erosão da Floresta Nacional do Jamari e seu entorno foi realizado por meio de técnicas de geotecnologia com ajustes e validação de dados de campos. O método geotecnológico utilizado para geração dos dados foi o de Crepani et al. (2001) que visa elaboração de mapas da vulnerabilidade natural à erosão fundamentada no conceito de Ecodinâmica de Tricart (1977), definindo a relação entre os processos de morfogênese e pedogênese. Os dados da pesquisa revelaram que na área de estudo a característica ambiental predominante é classificada como moderadamente estável, porém existem atividades de produção agrícola e/ou pecuária em seu entorno que podem aumentar a fragilidade ambienta

    Communication apprehension of students in the ESL classroom / Suzilla Jamari

    This study attempted to investigate the communication apprehension of students in the ESL classroom. The participants consisted of 31 Bachelor of Science (Hons) Tourism Management at UiTM Melaka, who are taking BEL492 (Presentation Skills) course. Of 31 students, 9 students are male and 22 students are female. McCroskey’s (1982) Personal Report of Communication Apprehension (PRCA-24) modified version was utilized in collecting the data about communication apprehension among the students. Variables like language achievement and gender were examined. Descriptiveanalyses, Gamma-test, and independent t-test were used to find out the relationships. The findings showed that speech activity causes the highest communication apprehension among the students; followed by meeting, conversation, and group discussion activities. There were no significant influences of language achievement and gender on students’ communication apprehension. Main implications derived from this study include finding out the communication activities that cause the highest communication apprehension to work on them; and giving students more opportunities to involve in communication activities in ESL classroom to give students the familiarity with the target language. For future research, it is recommended that this topic is measured with larger group of participants, wider communication area and scope of study, and collaborate with other instruments to find out more information on students communication apprehension

    Hydrological and geochemical characteristics of the Jamari and Jiparana river basins (Rondonia, Brazil)

    The authors investigate the hydrological and geochemical characteristics of the Jamari (30430 km 2) and Jiparana (60350 km 2) river basins (Amazonia), during the period 1978-1984. A spectral analysis of Fourier is applied to time series of mean monthly river discharges, in order to assess the contribution (7 to 8%) of the surface runoff to the total river flow. The mean annual runoff coefficient calculated for the Jiparana river basin (36%), is higher than for the Jamari (32%), and this coefficient increases during the study period, only for the Jiparana. The total specific suspended sediment discharge calculated for both rivers shows the same value 13 t/km2/y, and the estimated suspended sediment concentration in the surface runoff is slightly superior for the Jiparana river (0.3 g/ 1) than for the Jamari one (0.2 g/l). The river suspended sediments are mainly composed of kaolinite, quartz and feldspar, but the Jiparana is more enriched in quartz. For both rivers, the dominant clay mineral is the kaolinite which is in agreement with the rock weathering type determined for both basins using the Tardy's weathering index: the monosiallitisation. The total chemical erosion rate calculated after correction for the atmospheric inputs (ions and CO2), is higher for the Jiparana (10.11 t/km2/ y) than for the Jamari river basin (7.75 t/km2/ y). These values are lower than the mechanicald enudation rate calculated previously for both river basins

    Checklist of the fishes from Jamari River basin, in areas under influence of dams, Rondônia, Brazil

    Abstract: The Madeira River is the most extensive tributary of the Amazon River and has the largest diversity of fishes in the world. On its right bank, the Madeira River receives the Jamari River, in which the first hydroelectric power plant (HPP) in State of Rondônia, Samuel HPP, was built. Besides this, other dams were built in the Jamari River and its tributaries, however, the available information in the scientific literature about the ichthyofaunistic diversity of this basin is rare. This work aims to provide an ichthyofaunistic inventory in a region of the Jamari river basin, in the State of Rondônia, where three small hydropower plants (SHPs) were implemented. The ichthyofauna was sampled in 16 expeditions between August 2015 and December 2018. Gill nets and seine nets were used with different meshes, as well as longlines and cast nets at different times of the day. Additionally, 81 INPA lots of species from the Samuel HPP area of influence were reanalyzed. Fish were identified according to the specialized literature, as well as in consultations with experts of various taxonomic groups. Voucher specimens of the species were cataloged and deposited in the ichthyological collection of the Núcleo de Pesquisas em Limnologia, Ictiologia e Aquicultura (Nupélia) of the Universidade Estadual de Maringá. A total of 230 species were recorded, of which 22 were putative new species, 117 were added to the Jamari River basin and 28 to the Madeira River basin. The continuation of the studies in this section of the Jamari river basin is fundamental for analysis of local impact due to the presence of dams. Moreover, the addition of putative new species to the Madeira River basin indicates gaps in the knowledge of Neotropical ichthyofauna.</div

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
