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

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 - Bok av Laura Teizen - Häftad

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.

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

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.

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

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..

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

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..

Amazonia - Can a dead fly influence the CO2 balance? - Bok av Maurício Castro Da Costa - Häftad

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 - Bok av Anderson Luis Ramos - Häftad

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..

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

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..

Public Environmental Policies in the Amazon - Bok av Luciano Monteiro Do Amaral - Häftad

\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 - Bok av Lorenna Grasielle Silva Bispo - Häftad

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 - Bok av Gyane Karol Santana Leal - Häftad

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.

In fact, this work consists of a..

Assessment of environmental impacts from mineral extraction in the Amazon - Bok av Welison Teodoro de Sousa - Häftad

Regional military cooperation - Bok av Flávio Diniz Pereira - Häftad

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 - Bok av Maria Alice Dias Rolim Visentin - Häftad

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 - Bok av Youssouf Terri - Häftad

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..

Changes in the world of work and the fishing environment - Bok av Voninio Brito de Castro - Häftad

The increase in hydroelectric power stations in the Amazon has caused concern among environmentalists, anthropologists, social scientists and, above all, traditional peoples, who are the main targets of the reservoirs. The consequences for ecosystems, modes of production and the lives of the vazanteiros of the Povoado Cajueiro in Palmeirante/TO have marked the region of the Middle Tocantins River since the beginning of the century. The Lajeado/TO hydroelectric power station and speculation about..

Social Responsibility, Ecosystem Vision and Consumerism - Bok av José Bonilla - Häftad

According to the original definition made by Tamsley in 1935, \an ecosystem is a network of plant and animal species in equilibrium in a given region of the world, interacting with the environment\. This balance is maintained through a process of self-regulation (biological equilibrium). Human interference in natural systems tends to degrade them, due to alteration of that balance (e.g. deforestation of the Amazon). In this text, the biological concept of ecosystems is analysed by linking it to..

Political Organization of the Nazareth Community - Bok av Thaís Pontes Maia - Häftad

In Brazil, family farming is strengthened by political organization through associations, cooperatives, and unions. These spaces function as a mechanism for the defense of social and cultural rights, and especially for the exercise of citizenship in the country, especially in traditional communities in the Amazon. The research was carried out in the Nazaré community with families who live off local agriculture. The Nazaré Community is a riverine community belonging to the region of Zé Açu, rural..
