Resumo: O artigo analisa as comemorações do centenário de Delmiro Gouveia, ocorridas em 1963. Considerado um mártir na luta contra brasileira o capital estrangeiro, o empreendedor pioneiro no aproveitamento do potencial hidrelétrico do rio São Francisco e o modernizador dos sertões alagoanos, Delmiro foi retomado como um á­cone nacionalista num contexto em que se discutiam os rumos para o desenvolvimento do Nordeste. As comemorações do seu centenário de nascimento, ocorridas em Pernambuco, envolveram esforços para atribuir ao ”coronel dos coronéis” o epá­teto de pioneiro na redenção regional. As diversas atividades constituintes destas celebrações revelam um embate não só pela confecção da memória do homenageado, bem como uma tensão entre transformá-lo em um herói nacional e utilizar a sua biografia para acentuar as particularidades do povo nordestino. Neste texto, o alvo das atenções é a ”Semana Delmiro Gouveia” (SDG), organizada pelo Instituto Joaquim Nabuco de Pesquisas Sociais (IJNPS), localizado no Recife, Pernambuco. Ali estiveram reunidos alguns dos principais estudiosos de Gouveia que, sob a coordenação de Gilberto Freyre e Mauro Mota, apresentaram as suas interpretações sobre a vida e a obra do ”Coronel dos Coronéis”. Palavras-chave: Delmiro Gouveia, Comemoração, Nordeste Brasileiro.  THE CITY OF RECIFE AND THE DELMIRO GOUVEIA CENTENARY IN PERNAMBUCO (1963)Abstract: This article analyzes the centenary celebrations of Delmiro Gouveia, occurred in 1963. Considered a martyr in the fight against Brazilian foreign capital, the pioneering entrepreneur in harnessing the hydropower potential of São Francisco River and the modernizing of Alagoas backwoods, Delmiro was included as a nationalist icon in a context in which they discussed the directions for the Northeast development. The celebrations of his centenary birth, occurred in Pernambuco, had involved efforts to give him the epithet pioneer in regional redemption. The various constituent activities of these celebrations reveal a clash not only by creation of the honoree's memory as well as a tension between turn it into a national hero and use his biography to emphasize the particularities of the northeastern people. This paper is mostly about the "Delmiro's Gouveia Week", organized by the Institute for Social Research Joaquim Nabuco, located in Recife, State of Pernambuco. In this place gathered some of the leading scholars of Gouveia, who, under the coordination of Gilberto Freyre and Mauro Mota, presented their interpretations of the life and work of biggest colonel in Brazilian history.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the input of suspended sediment from the slope toe in the São Francisco River channel, in Northeast Brazil, under different soil bioengineering techniques. Sediments were collected in the years of 2013, 2014 and 2015, in five transects crossing the river channel. Sediment input in the sampling points was higher in the year of 2013, i.e., the year of the highest river discharge. Sediment supply to the river channel for a period of 3 years (2013, 2014 and 2015), was evaluated at 20, 40 and 60% depth, along five different transects (P1= riverbank, P2= beginning of the thalweg, P3= middle of the thalweg, P4= end of the thalweg, and P5 = margin of the side sandybar), oriented by the presence or absence of erosion control techniques (treatments) such as: 1-Natural Vegetated Slope; 2-Vegetated Riprap; 3-Eroded Slope; 4-Live Cribwall and 5-Vetiver grass Contour Line. Sediments input was different in all evaluated transects, and the one identified as Eroded Slope at 20% depth presented the lowest amount of suspended sediment load. There was a decrease in the total amount of suspended sediment in the evaluated periods, probably due to the progressive decrease in the river discharge, and the protection provided by the soil bioengineering techniques.

This paper describes Sporolithon franciscanum, a new rhodolith-forming species of non-geniculate coralline algae found at depths between 47–52 m near the São Francisco river mouth, the second largest and the most extensive drainage basin in Brazil, and also at the Abrolhos Bank, in the world´s largest rhodolith beds. DNA sequences from plastidial psbA and rbcL markers indicate that the species is unique compared to all other Sporolithon species that have thus far been sequenced. Since morpho-anatomical features of the new species are shared with some other Sporolithon species, its identification was only confirmed by DNA sequences.

The drought in Northeast Brazil has been the object of many studies and debates. The theme is controversial, with lots of facets and has been under discussion for a long time. After the 1877 drought, which lasted three years and caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people, the search for an understanding of the phenomenon and for its possible solution has been intensified. Experts and lots of non-experts took part in that process, proposing solutions or just giving their opinion. Many of them contributed and aggregated new knowledge and views. A small number of others, in fact, proposed very exotic solutions. This paper provides an historical review of how the issue has been addressed and makes a conceptual approach classifying the solutions and analyzing the efficiency of them. Some proposals are described, such as: the use of camels, crystalline rocks’ blasting, investment for drought forecast processes, damming and irrigation policies and water basin transfer from São Francisco River.

Sediment contamination by metals is very common and frequently researched worldwide with the objective of assessing the environmental impact of these contaminants. The bulk metal concentration in sediments is not enough for assessing toxicity and therefore, needs additional research and assays. To estimate the potentially bioavailable fraction of the metals in the sediment, the acid-volatile sulfides / simultaneously extracted metals (AVS/SEM) method was used. Seven samples in duplicate were collected from the São Francisco River and its tributary, near a zinc metallurgical plant in the city of Três Marias (MG). The AVS/SEM results suggest that, although the bulk metal concentrations are above TEL (Threshold Effects Level: A chemical concentration above which some adverse effect to biota is expected), samples from the São Francisco River presented relatively low potential for bioavailability (uncertain toxicity). These results should be taken into consideration before deciding about contaminated sediment management.

The prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum has been considered a successful colonizing species of freshwater environments beyond its native range; however, information on the distribution of the species in rivers in northeastern Brazil is doubtful or incomplete. This study updates the presence of the Amazon River prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum in the São Francisco River (northeast Brazil) where eight areas were sampled downstream from the Xingó Hydroelectric Plant (Alagoas/Sergipe) up to the mouth of the river, between April 2014 and February 2016. The specimens were sampled using manual trawls and artisanal traps. Hydrological data were obtained using a multi-parameter probe. Only 258 specimens were found in Piranhas, Pão de Açúcar, and Belo Monte, which are regions far from the mouth of the river. They were found in shallow (3.96 ± 1.01 m), warm (26.15 ± 1.18 °C), and oxygenated fresh waters (5.70 ± 1.14 mg L-1) with low turbidity (71.33 ± 6.43 mg L-1) and slight alkalinity (7.26 ± 0.53), always associated with the aquatic vegetation. The presence of M. amazonicum has not yet been evaluated in relation to possible impacts on local native diversity. Therefore, studies addressing the interaction of this species with native species are necessary to understand whether or not it poses a risk to endemic species.
