Abstract Public policies affecting land use/land cover also have an impact on water resource availability, and hilltop protected areas are a relevant factor in ensuring continued availability of water resources. The legislation ruling the delimitation of protected areas on hilltops has changed at the national level in 2012 and in Rio de Janeiro state in 2014. However, these environmental legislation changes did not take into account the feedback effects of restricting protected areas to hilltops on the regularity of hydrological responses in watersheds. As such, this manuscript sought to analyze the contribution of hilltop-only protected areas to continued water availability. We analyzed hydrological responses in the São João river watershed, which provides water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural uses in the Região dos Lagos municipalities of Rio de Janeiro state. Our results show that designating only hilltops as protected areas, as prescribed under the new pieces of legislation, does not prevent abrupt changes in hydrological responses that can lead to changes in streamflow volume and regularity as well as increases in sediment flows, which may compromise drainage systems and continued water supply due to reservoir silting. Therefore, we conclude that protecting hilltops only, as established under current Brazilian legislation, is not sufficient to safeguard the environmental function of maintaining water resource availability.

Knowledge on Poduromorpha fauna from the littoral of Rio de Janeiro mainly come from studies conducted in “restinga” areas of Itaipuaçu, Maricá, and Marambaia. In this study two “restinga” areas were sampled for the first time to increase the taxonomic knowledge of Poduromorpha in littoral areas of Rio de Janeiro: Costa do Sol State Park and Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, located respectively at Lake Region (“região dos lagos”) and at northern Rio de Janeiro State. The analysis of the material showed the presence of six families, 14 genera and 20 species. All records are new for both areas; Neanuridae had the highest diversity, with seven genera and 10 species. One of them, Paleonura Cassagnau, 1982, was registered for the first time in the littoral of Rio de Janeiro. A key was proposed for the Poduromorpha genera found in the littoral of Rio de Janeiro.

The studied region is located in the Rio de Janeiro State (SE, Brazil) and is part of the Ribeira Belt, in the central portion of the Mantiqueira Province. The rocks of this region were included in the Brasiliano/Pan-African orogeny, from Neoproterozoic to the early Paleozoic. The basement is comprised of Paleoproterozoic rocks, sedimentary and volcano-sedimentary rocks from Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic and intrusive granitic rocks from the Neoproterozoic. These rocks are interpreted as associations of magmatic arcs, sedimentary sequences of passive margins and tardi-kinematic granites, respectively. The study area is located in Cabo Frio Terrane, where the basement is represented by the Região dos Lagos Complex.The Região dos Lagos Complex can be divided into: granitic rocks (biotite-orthoclase-plagioclase gneiss), tonalitic rocks (biotite-microcline-plagioclase gneiss). The main aims of the SHRIMP U-Pb zircon studies of the Região dos Lagos Complex is to identify the crystallization ages of this complex and to define the magmatic events in the Ribeira Belt. The obtained U-Pb ages are: sample CRL-04, 1960 ± 19 Ma; sample CRL-05, 1986 ± 24 Ma; sample CRL-06, 1985 ± 34 Ma; sample CRL-07, 1942 ± 16 Ma; sample CRL-08, 1970 ± 17 Ma and; sample CRL-09, 1989 ± 22 Ma.These results suggest that the Região dos Lagos complex has crystallization from 1989 Ma to 1942 Ma, and was formed during an important magmatic event related to the Ribeira Belt formed previously to the Gondwana amalgamation probably related to Congo craton basement.

O presente texto tem o propósito de discutir uma questão candente do debate energético da atualidade: um país seria abençoado por dispor de ricas reservas de petróleo e gás ou as fartas rendas provenientes de sua exploração produziriam uma espécie de “maldição” por limitarem a expansão de outros setores produtivos? A avaliação dos impactos dessa indústria é complexa, por existirem profundas distinções entre os processos de mudança que é capaz de provocar no plano nacional ou nas áreas em que se localiza. O texto é centrado na análise das fases de exploração e produção, onde ocorrem os maiores investimentos e se registram os mais significativos efeitos multiplicadores dessa indústria, tendo como referência o caso brasileiro. Existindo ainda no Brasil a peculiaridade das principais ocorrências serem na plataforma continental marítima, com marcada concentração da produção na Bacia de Campos, os impactos regionais da indústria são analisados tomando-se o caso da região Norte Fluminense como base empírica de referência. Palavras-chave: indústria de petróleo; investimentos petrolíferos; impactos regionais; Norte Fluminense; efeitos multiplicadores. Abstract: This text aims to discuss a weighty issue of the current energy debate: having rich reserves of oil and gas would be a blessing for a country or the hefty revenues of the exploration of these resources would produce some kind of “curse” by limiting the expansion of other productive sectors? The evaluation of the impacts of this industry is complex for existing deep differences between the changing processes that they can be able to cause in a national level or in the areas they are located in. The text is focused in the phases of exploration and production, in which occur the major investments and are noticed the most significant multiplying effects of this industry, having the Brazilian case as reference. As Brazil has the peculiarity of having the main occurrences in the offshore continental platform, with stressed concentration of the production in Campos Bay, the regional impacts of the industry are analyzed having the case of the North of Rio de Janeiro State as an empirical database of reference. Keywords: oil industry; oil investments; regional impacts; North of Rio de Janeiro State; multiplying effects.

Conservation areas are originally well-known for protecting landscape features and wildlife. They are playing key role in conserving and providing a wide range of ecosystem services, social, economic and cultural benefits as well as vital places for climate mitigation and adaptation. We have analyzed decadal changes in land cover and status of vegetation cover in the conservation area using both national level available data on land use land cover (LULC) changes (1990-2010) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) (2010-2018) in Annapurna conservation area. LULC showed the barren land as the most dominant land cover types in all three different time series 1990, 2000 and 2010 with followed by snow cover, grassland, forest, agriculture and water body. The highest NDVI values were observed at Southern, Southwestern and Southeastern part of conservation area consisting of forest area, shrub land and grassland while toward low to negative in the upper middle to the Northern part of the conservation area.

Objetivo: identificar as características clínicas e sociodemográficas das pacientes portadoras de cardiomiopatia periparto em unidade cardiointensiva de um hospital universitário no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Método: estudo quantitativo, transversal, de análise documental em cinco prontuários, entre janeiro de 2014 a dezembro de 2016, obedecendo aos critérios preestabelecidos de inclusão e exclusão e iniciado após aprovação do Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa. Os dados foram coletados mediante um formulário próprio, tabulados em planilhas eletrônicas e analisados através de estatística descritiva simples. Resultados: houve predominância de idade entre 26-35 anos – 4 (80%), multíparas, etnia parda, internação para pós-operatório de parto cesárea – 4 (80%), internação inferior a 2 semanas 4 (80%). Dentre os problemas de enfermagem encontrados, estão o débito cardíaco diminuído e padrão respiratório ineficaz. Conclusão: divulgar as características sociodemográficas e clínicas dessa clientela pode ajudar a delimitar alguns problemas de enfermagem representativos nessa população.ABSTRACTObjective: to identify the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy in a cardiac intensive care unit of a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro State. Method: this quantitative, cross-sectional, documentary analysis studied five medical records, between January 2014 and December 2016, according to pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria, after approval by the research ethics committee.
