Intense Process

Resumo: Com a construção da rodovia BR101, no final da década de 1960, ligando os estados do Espírito Santo e Bahia, a região passou por um intenso processo de exploração da madeira nativa, seguida da ocupação por pastagens destinadas à criação de gado, até chegar aos cultivos de eucalipto, para produção de papel e celulose. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar os conflitos ambientais provocados pela monocultura do eucalipto, no norte do Espírito Santo e no sul da Bahia, e fazer uma reflexão sobre os problemas ocasionados pela introdução da monocultura do eucalipto para atender ao setor de celulose. Este artigo traz uma revisão bibliográfica que analisa os trabalhos de Henri Acselrad e do Observatório Social, que discutem as questões conflituosas provocadas pelo avanço da monocultura do eucalipto em comunidades quilombolas e indígenas daquela região, como também faz uma análise dos documentos disponibilizados pelas empresas de celulose que atuam nos dois estados. Os conflitos das comunidades com as empresas de celulose destacam-se tanto pela ocupação do solo, como pelo avanço da monocultura do eucalipto sobre as comunidades, realidade que tem provocado resistência desses grupos, diante da expansão da atividade naquela região.Palavras-chave: Observatório social. Quilombolas. Espírito Santo. Bahia.Abstract: The construction of the BR101 highway in the late 1960s, connecting the Brazilian States of Espírito Santo (ES) and Bahia (BA), culminated in an intense process of exploration of native wood in the region, followed by pasture areas, which were later substituted by eucalyptus plantations for cellulose and paper production. The objective of this study is to present the environmental conflicts caused by the eucalyptus monoculture in the north of ES and south of BA states.  There is also a consideration about the problems caused by the introduction of eucalyptus monoculture in this area, to provide the cellulose sector. This study presents a bibliographical review that analyzes the studies of Henri Acselrad and the Social Observatory which discuss the issues caused by the advance of eucalyptus monoculture in quilombola and indigenous communities in the same area of the present study. Both also make analyses of the documents provided by the cellulose companies’ operating in this area. The conflicts between the communities and the companies involve the occupation of the soil, as well as the advance of the eucalyptus monoculture over the communities’ land, a reality that has triggered resistance movements from these groups in the face of the expansion of the industries’ activity in the region.Keywords: Social observatory.

The Relationship

Abstract This article is the result of a research conducted in the villages of Regência Augusta and Povoação, in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The objective is to contribute to knowledge concerning biodiversity conservation projects and the relationships between these, local communities and emblematic species in the midst of socio-environmental conflicts. We intend to highlight some of the ways that human agents interact with each other through the relationship with other non-human agents, developing conceptions and actions in and with the world around them. The empirical analysis addresses the case of sea turtles and the environmental agents who deal with them. Those who patrol the beach are prominent in this text, but we will also consider the way in which these works form an ambiguous relationship with other knowledges and practices. The region is going through political, economic and environmental divergences related to resources and the local landscape, aggravated by the arrival of Samarco’s mud.

Artisanal fishing is an important traditional activity on the coast of Espírito Santo (ES) State, southeastern Brazil. Despite this, there is a lack of updated data on artisanal fishing and its interfaces with socioenvironmental oceanography. The present study describes the social profile of fishers (gender, age, education, and period of professional activity) and the fishing activity (fishing gear and target species) along the coast of Espírito Santo State. Interviews with semi-structured questionnaires were carried out with 366 artisanal fishers living in 10 fishing communities. The interviewed fishers are mostly male, with low education, who had been fishing for more than 41 years (32%). The fishers described 59 target ethnospecies, with eight being common in 90% (n = 9) of the communities under study. These workers use the following fishing gear: line, longline, gillnet, trawl net, and harpoon. Socioenvironmental oceanography enables obtaining basic information on artisanal fishing, which can support the development of public policies for the sector with a view to maintaining this activity in Espírito Santo State.

Objective: Among the various forms of cancer is penile cancer, considered as a rare neoplasm and affects 1/100,000 men in developed countries. In Brazil, these tumors correspond to 2% of malignant neoplasms in men, being five times more prevalent in the North and Northeast regions compared to other regions. Aiming to write the incidence of penile cancer in the state of Espírito Santo (ES) in the period 2000-2018. Materials and method: This is an ecological study of a descriptive, quantitative and exploratory character, as it quantifies and describes the Incidence of Penile Cancer in the State of Espírito Santo. Information regarding the years 2000 to 2018 was collected through the Hospital Cancer Registry System (SisRHC), and subsequently the data were treated in Microsoft Office Excel. Results: Despite being a pathology that has a small incidence, according to the Mortality Atlas (2020), between 2015 and 2018 it presented more than 400 deaths / year in Brazil, corresponding to 0.06% of deaths due to neoplasia, and each year, 1600 men have their penis amputated due to this pathology. Conclusion: In view of the analysis carried out in this study, it is noted that it is necessary to intervene with educational and preventive actions in order to generate effective strategies for improving public health policies, as investing in this item means reducing the percentage of new cases and ensuring better quality of life for men affected by penile cancer.

Evidence Of Impact

Goal: This article presents an assessment of the impacts of the “Research in Companies Support Program (PAPPE): Economical Subvention to Innovation”, in the decentralized modality, i.e., projects contracted in the states of the Brazilian federation. Considering the high opportunity cost of the PAPPE program, it was deemed important to evaluate how the financed projects impacted the three dimensions (economic, social and environmental) of sustainable development. Methodology: Study was based on literature review on innovation grants; interviews with one Finep technician and technicians from Fapes, Fapesc and Sebrae-PR; and documental research and analysis of 53 projects carried out in the states of Espírito Santo, Paraná and Santa Catarina, from 2009-2013. Descriptive analysis was conducted for comparing performance of the three states.  Results: Under the economic dimension, the PAPPE program enhanced the ability of funding recipients to compete on a national level. However, there was no evidence of impact on the social and environmental dimensions. Limitations of the investigation: This research is restricted to three Brazilian states, chosen due to the homogeneity of project types and the interest of the researchers, with a focus on the state of Espírito Santo. Practical implications: Although both social and environmental dimensions are not explicit in the scope of the PAPPE program, the assessment of these dimensions should be included in the design and evaluation of any policy sponsored by public funding, since they are critical to the country.

The geographical distribution and factors associated with bovine fasciolosis in the south of Espírito Santo were updated and the prevalences of this disease and of snails of the genus Lymnaea in the municipality of Jerônimo Monteiro were calculated. In the first stage, fecal samples were collected from 10% of the herds of 115 farms in 23 municipalities and interviews were conducted with owners. Generalized linear mixed models were used. In the second stage, in Jerônimo Monteiro municipality, feces and mollusks were collected from all farms registered in the milk cooperatives in the region. The mollusks were identified and examined for infection by Fasciola hepatica. Fasciolosis was diagnosed in 18 (78%) of the 23 municipalities. Of the 1157 fecal samples examined, 19.01% were positive for eggs of F. hepatica. The final model shows statistical evidence of associations between positive farms and previous cases of fasciolosis and concomitant grazing of cattle with other definitive hosts. In the evaluated farms from the studied municipality the prevalence of fasciolosis and Lymnaea was of 66.7% and 23.8%, respectively. Mollusks were found in flooded areas and the animals' drinking water troughs. The wide geographical distribution of bovine fasciolosis in the south of Espírito Santo requires control measures to prevent its expansion towards the north of this state and other places characterized as F. hepatica free-infection.
