Family farming and environmental sustainability in the Amazon floodplain - Alberto Luiz Silva Ferreira

Growing vegetables in the Amazon floodplain is an activity that requires patience, technique and persistence. The ribeirinho lives in close coexistence with the phenomenon of rising and falling waters of the Amazon River. Parallel to the activity of producing vegetables and crops such as corn, watermelon, beans and other short-cycle plants, the family of the Amazonian caboclo is dedicated to fishing, raising a few head of cattle and renovating fences and houses affected by flood waters. These are..

The impacts of modern slavery in the Brazilian Amazon Region - Laura Teizen

I dedicate this study to all the enslaved workers in the Brazilian Amazon region, who are without a voice, without rights and without dignity, and to those people who, like me, cannot omit themselves from this reality. I thank all those who have contributed in some way to make this project succeed. In special thanks to God, my beloved parents, Francisco and Mary, my beloved sister, Alice, my esteemed advisor, Prof. Dr. Enrique Amayo Zevallos and my dear uncle, Roberto.

Low environmental impact cements from residues from the Amazon - Euler Arruda Junior

Currently, one of the materials that most contributes to global warming is cement (second most consuming material by mass). The use of mineral additions as partial replacement of clinker in Portland cement has been one of the main strategies for reducing CO2 emissions by the global cement industry. However, the availability of blast furnace slag and fly ash does not meet the demand. In the Amazon, the kaolin beneficiation industries as paper cover have already deposited about 70 million tons of waste..

Public policies in border areas in the Amazon - Jorge Luiz Coimbra de Oliveira

This study seeks to better understand the planning and implementation of public policies in border areas, particularly in the Amazon. Although public policies have a specific meaning, the product of a dramatic process of conflict between different social actors, they don't always actualise this meaning in the process of their implementation, either because of the actions of the social actors involved or because of the specific administrative difficulties in dealing with the demands presented by the..

Environmental Pollution in Urban Ecosystems in the Brazilian Amazon - Julio Cesar Pinho Mattos

Most cities in the Brazilian Legal Amazon have not yet managed to evolve in the municipal management of solid urban waste, the practice of dumps is still high, compromising the environment and public health. The lack of public resources, the reduced urban development index and the non-compliance with the Environmental Legislation contribute to this scenario without harmony with the environmental quality of the cities. Facing these problems in technical and political aspects has become urgent.

Mathematical Literacy - José Sávio Bicho

This book presents the results of an investigation into mathematical literacy in riverside schools in the Amazon. Its aim was to investigate theoretical and methodological approaches to the teaching and learning of maths, in the context of mathematical literacy, which could be established in multi-grade classes in riverside schools in the Amazon. From this perspective, the vision of mathematical literacy was constructed taking into account the child's initial reading and writing skills in school..

Açaí Extraction Work: a study on Combú Island - Belém/PA - Raimundo Carvalho Sócrates

Extractivist work in the Amazon has represented and continues to represent, over time, its condition of insertion into the great economic circles, not only of the internal interfaces of the economic question, but mainly of the phases of accumulation of primitive capital for its global actions of the great European metropolises, during the period of feudal-capitalist transition. The proposed study aims to bring reflections that surrounded all these stages, in the midst of the Amazon context and through..

Economy and Sustainability in Amazonia - Ecio Rodrigues

In the first part, the book draws a parallel between the ideals of sustainability advocated around the world and the actions taken in Brazil and the Amazon to achieve this sustainability. In the second part, it analyses the environmental management process carried out in the Amazon and Acre, as well as its importance in overcoming the challenge of fostering economic growth without compromising the region's ecological sustainability. It points to the commercial exploitation of forest biodiversity..

The Historical Process of Plant Extractivism in Southern Roraima - Maria Das Graças Santos Dias

The Brazilian Amazon, an immense and peripheral region, owes its occupation since the colonial period mainly to two processes: geo-politics and extractivism. In the 19th century, with the imperial control of navigation on the Amazon River and its tributaries and especially with what was called the cycle of the borracha, the region was transformed with the arrival of thousands of migrants and with the urbanization of Belém and Manaus, with extractivism being the base of the pyramid of a society in..

Amazonia - Can a dead fly influence the CO2 balance? - MaurÃcio Castro Da Costa

The approach shows the importance of the Amazon in the role of carbon production and sequestration, where plant diversity shows the heterogeneity of the processes. The process of production of dead biomass by the forest shows that at times the forest can behave both as a carbon sink and as a producer, due to the large amount of dead material. This material that falls and enters the decomposition process plays a fundamental role in various biogeochemical cycles in the Amazon.

Prospects in Nanobiotechnology - Anderson Luis Ramos

When we think about the biodiversity of fauna and flora, the Brazilian Amazon forest stands out among the humid tropical forests for its great genetic diversity, and is the subject of numerous studies and research. In this sense, the cupuaçu tree Theobroma grandiflorum (SHUM.), a typical tree of the Amazon region, appears to be the second most important economic species of the Theobroma genus, after cocoa, and its fat has received attention for presenting edible properties similar to chocolate..

Public Environmental Policies in the Amazon - Luciano Monteiro Do Amaral

\Millions of people have been victimized by disastrous development policies, conceived in a megalomaniacal compass, executed in a primitive and callous manner, which in the end developed little more than the fortune and power of their principals. The Third World pseudo-faiths, in just one generation, became skilled manipulators of images and symbols of progress, but proved remarkably incapable of generating real progress to compensate for the real devastation and misery they brought\ (BERMAN, 1986)...

Brazilian Amazon: Economic Valuation of the Environment - Lorenna Grasielle Silva Bispo

This paper aims to monetarily value the cost of areas impacted by deforestation in the municipality of Rorainópolis located in the south of the State of Roraima/Brazil. The method used for this purpose is the Opportunity Cost, given its usefulness to estimate the income sacrificed in terms of economic activities restricted by environmental protection activities, or in unused deforested areas. The opportunity cost was considered to be the areas that are in disuse, i.e. areas that are being deforested,..

Riverine Children and Science Teaching in the Amazon - Gyane Karol Santana Leal

The work I'm presenting to you is about the children of the Aninga community in Parintins, Amazonas. Aninga has an immeasurable wealth of natural, cultural and social diversity. It is against this backdrop that the author sets herself the challenge, as a researcher with children, of a proposal that values the participation of riverside children through their experiences, encounters with nature and their ways of transposing spaces in the construction of new places. In fact, this work consists of a..

Regional military cooperation - Flávio Diniz Pereira

The geographical position of Brazil and Colombia, their shared border problems and their operational affinity could represent the possibility of regional military cooperation, since they share common interests, such as protecting the Amazon, and both countries lack multi-engine vectors in their air forces that can be complemented through international agreements. This paper analyzes the feasibility of such cooperation, through bibliographical and documentary research and technical-operational analysis,..

Sovereignty and economic development - Maria Alice Dias Rolim Visentin

The paper deals with the biological diversity harboured in the Brazilian Amazon Forest and the importance of this resource for the balance and stability of ecosystems, as well as for obtaining economic advantages, among other benefits. However, contrary to the protection that should be given to Amazonian biodiversity, the development of the region has been implemented in a predatory manner, through the adoption of unsustainable deforestation practices. Deforestation constitutes a prerequisite for..

The principle of loyalty in public law in the digital age - Youssouf Terri

By using algorithms, digital platforms have been able to develop new business models that have enabled them to break into most sectors of the economy: transport (Uber, BlaBlaCar), short-term property rental (AirBnB, Séjourning), online sales (Amazon, Ebay), etc. However, these platforms do not always behave fairly (abuse of a dominant position and unfair competition between them, asymmetric information in their relationship with their users, etc.). However, these platforms do not always behave fairly..

Aquaculture panorama of the state of Rondônia - Maria Helena Ferrari

Fish farming, like other aquaculture activities, plays a relevant social role in the country directly and indirectly. It involves thousands of people in its production chain, from the production of inputs, through production and distribution, to the arrival of the final consumer. Thinking about contributing to science and socialising the results of research developed in the Western Amazon focused on fish production, as well as strengthening this growing production chain, we organised a work that..
