Diversity and spacio-temporal distribution of mushrooms in a Nigerian savanna: implication for their conservation

People tend to recall more specific personal events from adolescence and early adulthood than from other lifetime periods, a finding known as the reminiscence bump. Several explanations have suggested that events from the reminiscence bump are especially emotional, important, or positive, but studies using cue words have not found support for these claims. An alternative account postulates that cognitive abilities function optimally in adolescence and early adulthood, which may cause more memories to be stored in those lifetime periods. Although other studies have previously discussed the cognitive abilities account as a possible explanation for the reminiscence bump, it was only recently shown that cognitive abilities are indeed related to autobiographical memory performance. When this recent finding is combined with previous findings that cognitive abilities as well as autobiographical memory function optimally in adolescence and early adulthood, they suggest that the cognitive abilities account is a promising explanation for the reminiscence bump in the temporal distribution of word-cued memories. However, because the account does not aim to explain the reminiscence bump in the distribution of highly significant events, it should be regarded as complementary to the existing accounts.

Abstract— The Manabí Hydrographic Demarcation (DHM) is characterized as the only one that does not receive input from Andes Mountains, therefore, its water network is fed exclusively by the rainfall that occurs in the rainy season and that the warm current of El Niño plays a fundamental role in its production. In order to have technical information, important for the planning, control and development of the water resources of the DHM, in this research is made a temporal analysis of the monthly precipitation for 55 years, period 1963-2017. The National Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology of Ecuador (INAMHI) in station M005, located in the Botanical Garden of the Technical University of Manabí (Universidad Técnica de Manabí) in Portoviejo, obtained these records. An analysis is made of the monthly and annual patterns, establishing that the El Niño events that occurred in 1983, 1997 and 1998, have set guidelines for the change in rainwater production at the intensity and temporal distribution levels, increasing the months of drought, while the levels of rainfall increase, concentrating in fewer months, basically in February and March. This is a situation that increases the water deficit especially when there is not enough infrastructure of hydraulic works for the storage and regulation of runoff.

Emergency Situations

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a distribuição espaço-temporal dos reconhecimentos de Situação de Emergência associados à dinâmica hidrometeorológica na microrregião pluviometricamente homogênea do Litoral paraibano, durante o período de 2003 a 2016. Para isso, foram utilizados dados adquiridos no site do Ministério da Integração Nacional, encontrados na página da Secretaria Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Civil, conforme reconhecimentos disponibilizados através de portarias. Como resultados principais, constatou-se um total de 29 reconhecimentos, em que 51,7% corresponde a enchentes; 20,7% a chuvas intensas; 24,2% correspondente a enxurradas e 3,4% a inundações. Considera-se que os resultados obtidos tiveram um cunho mais descritivo, necessitando assim de estudos mais avançados sobre a temática.Palavras chave: Litoral Paraibano, desastres hidrometeorológicos, situação de emergência. ABSTRACTThe present work has for objective analyze the space-temporal distribution of the emergency situations recognizements associated to the hydrometeorological dynamic on the pluviometrically homogenius microregion of the coast of Paraíba, during the period of 2003 to 2016. For that, data were used acquired from the Ministério da Integração Nacional’s site, found on the Secretaria Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Civil’s page, conform available recognizements through ordinances. As main results, a total of 29 recognizements were found, in which 51,7% corresponds to floods; 20,7% to heavy rain; 24,2% corresponding to flash flood and 3,4% to inundations. It’s considered that the obtained results have a descriptive label, needing then advanced studies about the theme.Keywords: Coast of Paraiba, hydrometeorlogical disasters, emergency situations. RESUMENEste documento tiene como objetivo analizar la distribución espacio-temporal de los reconocimientos de situaciones de emergencia com la dinâmica hidrometeorológica em la microrregión de lluvia homogénea de la costa paraibana, de 2003 a 2016.

Integración nacional, que se encuentra en la página de la Secretaría Nacional de Protección y Defensa Civil, como agradecimientos disponibles a través de ordenanzas. Como resultados principales, hubo un total de 29 reconocimientos, de los cuales el 51.7% correspondió a inundaciones; 20.7% a fuertes lluvias; 24.2% correspondientes a enxurradas y 3.4% a inundaciones. Se considera que los resultados obtenidos tuvieron una naturaleza más descriptiva, por lo que requirieron estúdios más avanzados sobre el tema.Palabras clave: Costa de Paraiba, desastres hidrometeorológicos, situación de emergencia.
