Praia da Almada, Ubatuba, SP: um berçário para a ictiofauna
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-11-29) Fernandes, Nathalie Amorim; Mattox, George Mendes Taliaferro; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4453900943293186; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2440268280058311
Beaches of the city of Ubatuba are known for their high number of endemic fish species and are characterized as an important spawning area for many fishes from distinct oceanic zones. Many of the beaches in the region have sandy bottom, a feature that makes them dynamic environments with a great variety of marine species. The surf zone ichthyofauna of sandy beaches of the state of São Paulo is still little studied, and there aren’t many published works on the subject. The present study aimed to survey the structure of the ichthyofauna present in the surf zone of Praia da Almada in the seasonal, circadian and spatial contexts, as well as to verify its importance as a nursery. Diurnal and nocturnal samples were collected seasonally at each collection point along the beach for two years. Salinity, water and air temperatures were also measured. Fish were identified at the lowest possible taxonomic level, weighed and measured. Data were grouped by season, period (day or night) and point of collection for analysis of the seasonal, circadian and spatial variations. A total of 1483 individuals from 30 species and 13 families were collected. Menticirrhus littoralis, Trachinotus carolinus, Umbrina coroides, Trachinotus goodei, Atherinella brasiliensis and Atherinella blackburni were considered very common in relation to the relative frequency of occurrence, with the former three being the most abundant in the study. Although abundant and constant, A. brasiliensis is classified as endangered in the state of São Paulo, and its abundance in Praia da Almada indicates that this species seems to find refuge in this beach of Ubatuba. Other species showed seasonal occurrence, such as Engraulis anchoita and Hyporhamphus unifasciatus, which occurred exclusively in fall. The highest values of the Margalef Diversity Index (DMg) were recorded in the fall. Winter was the least abundant season and with greater dominance, while summer was the most abundant. The total biomass was 5044.88 g, almost 40% of which concentrated in spring, while winter presented the lowest biomass. There are slightly more species at night than in the day, but without conspicuous variations in abundance and biomass. One of the main results of this work is the confirmation that the surf zone of this type of beach serves as refuge and nursery for many species of fish, due to the expressive amount of juvenile found.
Perspectiva agroecológica sobre o Projeto de Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável (PDRS): experiência da cooperativa Entre Serras e Águas
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-11-29) Furtado, Rafael Caselli; Abreu, Lucimar Santiago de; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7025928931374268; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4737556937345691
Aiming the improvement of public policies that adopt the principles of agroecology as methodologies to accomplish the rural/urban brazilian development, systematization and critical analysis of experiences becomes an indispensable tool for the development of these projects. Thus, this research chose one of the lines of action of the Projeto de Desenvolvimento Rural Sustentável (PDRS - Microbasins II), developed by the São Paulo State government with the Banco Mundial, whose the case chosen acts aiming the implementation of Agroforestry Systems (SAFs) for family farmers of the state. The case study was coordinate by the Cooperativa Entre Serras e Águas (CESA) which has more than 100 farmers of Bragança Paulista (SP) region, among these, fourteen were interested in the project pariticipation. The project began in September 2014 and was followed until May 2016. The project's critical analysis was made in the cross of understanding perspective and agroecological sociology, based on participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The systematization of perceptions of the actors involved in the project and the author critical analysis pointed to a project that still needs to evolve especially as the issues of: empowerment methodologies farmers; incorporate agroecological concepts in project design; further explore the possibilities of environmental compliance through agroforestry systems respecting the brazilian law; incorporate the social, ecological and economic dimensions in building a design adapted to the reality of farmers; dialogic action, emancipatory and continued by the Technical Assistance; and creating an appropriate market for the products generated that achieve the objective of marketing incentive. From these and other observations, suggestions were made aimed at management of CESA on the project and improvements for future PDRS projects
Indicadores de CT&I dos INCTs de São Carlos-SP na dinâmica da produção da ciência
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-11-29) Guimarães, Vera Aparecida Lui; Hayashi, Maria Cristina Piumbato Innocentini; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7263318849588556; https://lattes.cnpq.br/8818035436308120
The theme of this research is the conformation of the new production of science, especially that realized in the ambit of the seven National Institutes of Science and Technology of São Carlos (city of the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil). From the theoretical point of view, this study is part of the field of Social Studies of Science and Technology, seeking in the Sociology of Science theoretical elements that allow us to understand the complexities of the new modes of producing scientific knowledge. The research was guided by the following question: do the science, technology and innovation indicators of the São Carlos’ INCTs point to changes in the form of production of science after its implementation? The hypotheses were that the São Carlos’ INCTs provided: a) the strengthening of university interaction with the productive sector and the transfer of knowledge produced; and b) the impact on society in terms of scientific education and dissemination of science. The general objective was to identify and evaluate ST&I indicators of the São Carlos’ INCTs, which allowed examining the dynamics of knowledge production and the scientific, educational and social impacts achieved since the implementation of this Program in São Carlos. The following specific objectives were also established: 1) to seek in the theoretical framework of Sociology of Science elements that allow to understand the organization of the scientific community, the forms of production of knowledge and the policies of science, technology and innovation; 2) to describe the profile of the INCTs, placing them in the main teaching and research institutions of São Carlos-SP; 3) analyze the dynamics of the INCTs from five dimensions: advancement of knowledge; Networking; Transfer of knowledge to society; Advancement of competence and internationalization; 4) to analyze the scientific and technological production and networks of scientific collaboration of the principal investigators of the INCTs; 5) identify the practice, results and impact of education and scientific dissemination within the scope of the INCTs; and 6) present the coordinators’ perception of this new configuration and organization of science and its impacts on society. The research is an exploratory and descriptive case study developed based on quantitative and qualitative approaches, through bibliometric and scientometric analyzes, social networks analysis, and the analysis of the perceptions of the coordinators obtained with the questionnaire. The methodological procedures involved data collection from different sources (Curriculum Lattes, Project Monitoring Reports and other documents) and questionnaire application to the INCT coordinators. Among the main results obtained are the high index of international bibliographic production published by the INCT in the period between 2009 and 2013, with emphasis on scientific articles and works in events; the training of human resources and the involvement with activities of education and scientific dissemination, particularly in the INCTs of USP. The evaluation of the INCTs in the view of the coordinators was that these programs produced important results in terms of advancement of knowledge, training of human resources, transfer of knowledge to society, internationalization, diffusion and scientific education, contributing to society in the solution of health problems, security and energy, the environment and learning and education.
