DETERMINAÇÃO DO ÍNDICE DE DISPONIBILIDADE HÍDRICA PARA CASCAVEL, PR  Deborah Sandra Leal Guimarães Schneider; Márcio Antonio Vilas Boas; Miguel Angel Uribe-Opazo; EuridesKüster Macedo JuniorCentro de Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, Cascavel, PR, [email protected]  1 RESUMO Os objetivos deste trabalho foram determinar e analisar o Índice de Disponibilidade de Umidade (IDU) proposto por Hargreaves e Merkley. Para essas determinações, a evapotranspiração potencial foi estimada pelos métodos de Camargo, Thornthwaite e Hargreaves-Samani. Utilizou-se uma série pluvial, na cidade de Cascavel, PR referente ao período de 01-01-1973 a31-12-2001. Os Índices de Disponibilidade de Umidade mostraram a existência de excedente hídrico na maioria dos meses, quando determinado em função da evapotranspiração pelos métodos de Thornthwaite e Camargo, e déficit pelo método de Hargreaves-Samani. O IDU determinado na forma decêndial apresentou déficit hídrico em agosto para os três métodos de evapotranspiração. Ressalta-se, entretanto, que o IDU usando-se o método de Hargreaves-Samani, mostrou déficits hídricos nos meses de abril, julho, setembro e novembro. UNITERMOS: Evapotranspiração potencial, índice hídrico, e precipitação pluvial.  SCHNEIDER, D. S. L. G.; BOAS, M. A. V.; URIBE-OPAZO, M. A.; MACEDO JUNIOR.; E. DETERMINATION OF HUMIDITY AVAILABILITY INDEX FOR THE REGION OF CASCAVEL IN THE STATE OF PARANÁ  2 ABSTRACT The objective of this paper was to determine and analyze Humidity Availability Index (HAI) proposed by Hargreaves and Merkley. For these determinations, potential evapotranspiration was estimated by Camargo, Thornthwaite, and Hargreaves-Samani methods. A pluvial series was used in the city ofCascavel, PR,Brazil, measured from 01-01-1973 to 12-31-2001. HAIs showed the existence of excessive hydric volume in almost all months when determined in favor of evapotranspiration using Thornthwaite and Camargos’s methods, and a deficit using Hargreaves-Samani’s method. Determined descending HAI showed a hydric deficit in August for all three evapotranspiration methods. However, using Hargeaves-Samani method, HAI presented a hydric deficit in the months of April, June, September, and November. KEY WORDS: Evapotranspiration, Hydric Index, rainfall

Evidências de dolinas são bastante comuns na cidade de João Pessoa-PB, mas ainda pouco estudadas. As dolinas são consideradas depressões fechadas, circulares, associadas a rebaixamento topográfico coadjuvado por fenômenos cársticos de sub-superfície, caracterizando um carste inumado. Assim como as encostas e os vales entalhados, as dolinas também são alvo da intensa ocupação nas cidades por parte da camada social menos favorecida, tendo em vista, serem áreas bastante deprimidas e susceptíveis a enchentes. A partir de então, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo, identificar os principais fatores de predisposição do terreno para criação de relevo do tipo carste, exclusivamente as dolinas e os riscos associados. Para isso, foram levantados dados sobre o embasamento geológico a partir do mapa geológico do Estado da Paraíba, e informações sobre a morfologia do terreno, coletadas a partir do radar SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission), além das observações de campo. Como produto, obteve-se os Modelos Digitais do Terreno, por meio dos quais se tornou possível realçar as evidências de subsidência do relevo local, corroborado pelas informações sobre a geologia local, marcada por uma intensa interação dinâmica entre as Formações Barreiras e Gramame (Sub-bacia Sedimentar Alhandra). Concluiu-se que os planos de falha existentes nos calcários da Formação Gramame contribuem de forma conspícua para percolação da água nessa formação perfazendo uma reação química capaz de dissolver o calcário, rebaixando a Formação Barreiras que se encontra sobreposta, dando origem a depressões circulares.Palavras-Chave: Dolinas, Formação Gramame, Formação Barreiras, João Pessoa. The Formation of Dolines in Urban Areas: The Case of Cruz das Armas in João Pessoa-PB ABSTRACTEvidence of dolines are much common in João Pessoa, the capital of the state of Paraíba, but they are still poorly studied. The dolines are considered to be closed and circled depressions, associated to a topographic smoothing assisted by subsurface karstic phenomenons, characterizing an inhumed karst. As well as the slopes and the carved valleys, the dolines are also intensively occupied in the city by people who are less favoured, what represents a serious problem considering that these are depressed areas and susceptible to flooding. The research aims to verify the major factors of the terrain susceptibility to the karst features formation, exclusively the dolines, and the associated risks. In view of this objective, the geological basement data were gathered from the geological map of the State of Paraíba and the terrain morphological information were collected from the SRTM radar (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission), besides the observations of the fieldwork developed. As result, the Digital Terrain Models were achieved enabling to present the evidences of the local subsidence features, corroborated by the information about the local geography marked by a intense dynamic interaction between Barreiras and Gramame Formation (Alhandra Sedimentary Sub-Basin). The analysis showed that the failed plans presented in the limestones of the Gramame Formation contribute evidently to the percolation of water on this formation totalizing a chemical reaction able to dissolve the limestone, lowering the superposed Barreiras Formation, what give rise to circular depressions.   Key-Words: Dolines, Gramame Formation, Barreiras Formation, João Pessoa.

Although researches on richness, composition and conservation of Atlantic rainforest’s herpetofauna have focused on large and protected areas, small fragments subject to human interference are important to maintain α-diversity, as they often constitute the only relictual areas with favorable habitats for those species within the cities. In this paper, we report the richness and composition of snakes from a small urbanized area in the Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), in the city of Salvador, state of Bahia, focusing on its conservation. We also propose hypotheses to explain the mechanisms that would facilitate the coexistence of these species, even in the face of an intense fragmentation process. The list of species here presented was based on the registers from the Museu de Zoologia of UFBA and the register book of the “Núcleo Regional de Ofiologia e Animais Peçonhentos da Bahia” (1987–2012). Based on the literature, each taxon was characterized with respect to habitat use, substrate, activity patterns and food habits. Nine species, belonging to the families Boidae (Boa constrictor) and Colubridae (Helicops leopardinus, Liophis almadensis, L. miliaris, L. taeniogaster, Oxyrhopus trigeminus, Philodryas olfersii, Sibynomorphus neuwiedi and Tantilla melanocephala), were registered. A comparative analysis of data from habitat and activity patterns of the species studied suggests that the coexistence of nine taxa in such fragment may be related to different combinations of substrate use and diet. Liophis almadensis (jararaquinha-false) and B. constrictor (python) showed higher relative abundance and were the only species recorded from 2010–2012, suggesting that part of the herpetofauna reported over the last 14 years may be locally extinct. This observation is even more critical because this period coincides with the suppression of almost all remaining fragments of Atlantic forest in the study area for university modernization and expansion.Additional key words: Bahia, conservation, local extinction, snakes, UFBA.

AbstractIn most cases, and particularly in the cases of Greece and Turkey, political transformation from multinational empire to nation state has been experienced to a great extent in urban centres. In Ankara, Bursa, and Salonica, the cities selected for this article, the consequences of state-making were drastic for all their inhabitants; Ankara and Bursa had strong Greek communities, while in the 1840s Salonica was the Jewish metropolis of the eastern Mediterranean, with a lively Muslim community. However, by the 1940s, Ankara and Bursa had lost almost all their non-Muslim inhabitants and Salonica had lost almost all its Muslims. This article analyses the occupational structures of those three cities in the mid-nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, tracing the role of the state as an employer and the effects of radical political change on the city-level historical dynamics of labour relations.

Clay Pots

In order to identify the presence of lead in glazed ceramic pots in a Mexico-US border city, 41 clay pots were sampled. The pots were purchased in several establishments located in different geographical areas of the city. The presence of lead was determined using LeadCheck Swabs. Most (58.5%) of the pots were from the State of Jalisco and 24.4% were of unknown origin. Only 4 pots did not contain varnish and were lead-negative. Thirty-seven (81.1%) of the glazed pots were lead positive. Among the lead-negative pots, 4 showed the label “this pot is lead-free.” Thus, if we consider the remaining 33 glazed pots without the “Lead-Free” label, 90.9% were lead-positive and only 9.1% were lead-negative. We also found that earthenware glazed utensils without the “Lead-Free” label were 1.6 times more likely to contain lead (OR: 1.6, 95% CI 1.0–2.5), P=0.003. We concluded that lead was detected in almost all acquired food containers. Government interventions in Mexico have focused on training manufacturers to make lead-free glazed ceramics but it has been difficult to eradicate this practice. Educational interventions to make and acquire lead-free glazed ceramics should be targeted to both sellers and buyers.

The refurbishment of educational buildings usually involves a variety of measures aiming at reducing energy demands and improving building functionality to achieve higher living comfort. This paper aims to develop an approach for determination of comprehensive refurbishment strategy upon existing preschool buildings in Slovenia from the aspects of energy and economic efficiency. The main idea of the approach is to separate and individually analyse the investments into those related to energy efficiency improvements and those related to improvements of building functional quality through the step-by-step evaluation of individual measures. The proposed approach was applied on the case study of the existing timber preschool building in the city of Maribor. Generally, the highest energy savings are detected only in the case of combination of multiple renovation measures. Moreover, the economic indicators show low efficiency for almost all measures if they are treated separately. Additionally, the analysis reveals that certain measures are totally inefficient in terms of energy, yet they are highly beneficial from the viewpoint of building functional quality, which indicates the importance of the multi-perspective assessment of renovation process. The conclusions of this study can be implemented to similar building types and construction ages in similar climatic and economic environments.

The article analyzes and evaluates the state of forest resources, including the Voronezh region. Based on the assessment and analysis, the following problems of the forestry complex were identified: failure to perform thinning; insufficient investment level; lack of development of the use of forests for the purpose of carrying out recreational activities; wear and tear of vehicles; the lack of information on the markets for the sale of wood from the Voronezh region in other constituent entities of the Russian Federation, here the negative aspects are that almost all the wood of the region is consumed within the region, only a small part of the wood is exported. The main problem of the forestry complex is the lack of a comprehensive information resource (lack of up-to-date forest inventory data in electronic formats; centralized database; inconsistency and dissociation of forest data stored in various information systems of subordinate institutions of Rosleskhoz; lack of reliable information on the volumes of harvesting, turnover and export of timber etc.). In addition to the problems, the article outlines the prospects for the development of the forest complex of the Voronezh region: zoning of the forest fund by the types of planned forest development; formation of forest plots for use and putting them up for auctions taking into account demand; determination of the initial rent, taking into account the demand for forest plots in various forest districts.

This introductory chapter begins with a brief description of the ʻAlawis, considered one of the most conspicuous, talked-about confessional groups in the Middle East today. The ʻAlawis represent perhaps 11 percent of the population in Syria, with important regional concentrations in the province of Antioch (Hatay) as well as in Adana and Mersin in southern Turkey, and in the ʻAkkar district and the city of Tripoli in northern Lebanon. The discussion then turns to classical perceptions of ʻAlawism, nomenclaturism, and dissimulation. Almost all previous studies of the ʻAlawi past either have been too concerned with theology or have provided only histoiré événementielle, emplotting a handful of references to seemingly ubiquitous, but in fact very rare, instances of sectarian strife, discrimination, and violence of the sort favored in the narrative chronicles, to produce a story of apparently unremitting conflict. In contrast, this book focuses on the less conspicuous—but ultimately more typical—historical evidence of mundane, uneventful, everyday interaction between the ʻAlawis, their neighbors, and the state authorities. An overview of the subsequent chapters is also presented.

The article presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies aimed at performing a qualitative assessment of the impact of traffic management on the level of air pollution from traffic flows in different sections of one segment of the city highway. Assessment of the state of atmospher-ic air pollution on a highway with heavy traffic (Pr. Mira, Omsk city) was carried out on the basis of determination of carbon monoxide (CO) in the air as one of the main components of the exhaust gases of the traffic stream. Calculations are graphically presented, indicating the unevenness of the amount of pollutant emissions by one passenger car moving along a conditional segment of the city highway with various variations in traffic conditions due to traffic management.
