POTENTIAL FOR THE WATER SPRING OF RIO VIEIRA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS: an interpretation of Geodiversity Abstract This paper considers the use of surveys in the fields of geology,geomorphology, speleology, pedology and hydrography, which make up geodiversity, as educational, touristic and interpretive resources in one of the main sources of Rio Vieira – which is located in the municipality of Montes Claros, in the north of the State of Minas Gerais - and its surroundings. Considering the specificity of this field of geodiversity, the objective of this study is to investigate the potentialities of the water springs of Rio Vieira and its surrounding areas through the inventory of geodiversity representative elements. The methodological approach consisted of concomitant phases: bibliographic survey, field work and mapping. The chosen area was inventoried, and local geodiversity was characterized.The inferences that have been drawn as well as the researcher´s findings made it possible to conclude that there is potential for the water spring of Rio Vieira and its surroundings to be perceived as geodiversity elements. It is expected that this work can contribute to other studies by providing them with subsidies and that a number of future research may be carried out in the area.

The 1960S

The French colonists (‘habitants’) who began settling Canada in the early seventeenth century brought with them the French language, the Catholic religion, and French cultural traditions. These basic elements of ‘le patrimoine’ continued to evolve in the North American context after France abandoned the colony in 1760. Under the influence of a conservative political establishment and the Catholic Church for two centuries, French Canadians perceived themselves as an isolated minority whose duty was to preserve their language, religion, culture, and agrarian traditions. A collective identity crisis during the 1960s led to the conclusion that the old social, educational, and religious institutions had failed to keep up with the forces of modernization, industrialization, and urbanization which had transformed the province. During the period known as the ‘Révolution tranquille’, political reforms gave Quebec greater autonomy within the Canadian confederation, economic reforms improved material conditions, and educational reforms began preparing future generations for productive careers. Rejecting the term ‘Canadien français’ because it connoted colonial status, Quebec intellectuals adopted the term ‘Québécois’ and called for the creation of a national literature, independent from its French roots and its Anglo-American connections. This distinctive Québécois literature would reflect the reality of their lives and speak to them in the language of Quebec.

As cidades médias se destacam pelo seu caráter dinâmico, centralizador, atrativo de mercadoria, serviços e pessoas. A cidade de Montes Claros, localizada no norte de Minas Gerais, tem demonstrado tais características através do intenso fluxo de viagens demandado pela população aos Polos Geradores de Tráfego. Nesse cenário, necessita-se de um modo capaz de suprir a carência de transporte das pessoas, de maneira segura, econômica, sustentável e racionalizando. O ônibus, gerido por meio de diretrizes do Estado, se apresenta como melhor opção em relação aos automóveis particulares, uma vez que reduzem congestionamento e exercem papel social. Nessa perspectiva, o presente trabalho analisa a acessibilidade por transporte público coletivo ao polo gerador de tráfego (Escola Estadual Professor Plínio Ribeiro), localizado na Avenida Mestra Fininha, número 1225, bairro Jardim São Luiz, em Montes Claros – MG. Essa análise leva em conta o tempo de viagem (tempo de espera e tempo de percurso) por transporte público com ligação direta a escola e utiliza Sistemas de Informações Geográficas para armazenamento, processamento e espacialização dos dados coletados. A partir daí, sugere-se o nível de acessibilidade dos moradores da cidade de Montes Claros à escola Estadual Professor Plínio Ribeiro, o qual se mostrou com melhores resultados na área central e, quase sempre, reduziu-se à medida que se aproximava das regiões periféricas.

ANALYSIS OF THE ACCESSIBILITY OF THE CITY POPULATION OF MONTES CLAROS / MG TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL FOR COLLECTIVE TRANSPORTATION ABSTRACT Medium cities stand out for their dynamic character, centralizer, attractive merchandise, services and people. The average city of Montes Claros, located in the north of Minas Gerais, has shown such feature by intense displacement flow demanded by the population Polos traffic generators. In this scenario, you need is a modal capable of filling the transport of persons, safe, economical, sustainable and rational manner. The bus, operated by state guidelines, is presented as the best option in relation to private cars, since they do not cause congestion and exert social role. In this perspective, this paper analyzes the service by public transportation to the pole traffic generator (State School Professor Plinio Ribeiro), located on the promenade Master Slim, number 1225, São Luiz Jardim, in Montes Claros - MG. This analysis takes into account the travel time (waiting time and travel time) by public transportation with direct connection to school and uses Geographic Information Systems for storage, processing and spatial distribution of the data collected. From there, it is suggested that the level of accessibility of the residents of the city of Montes Claros State Teacher Plinio Ribeiro school. Keywords: Medium Cities. Collective Public Transport.

O Rio das Velhas é o maior afluente em extensão do Rio São Francisco no Norte do Estado de Minas Gerais. A área de estudo localiza-se integralmente no município de Várzea da Palma, sendo delimitada pelas seguintes coordenadas UTM: 520000E-860200N e 532000E-805200N. Tendo em vista as particularidades naturais e as características antrópicas, o estudo avaliou a concentração e distribuição dos metais pesados na água superficial em 25 amostras coletadas em campo. As análises químicas dos metais cobre (Cu) e Cromo (Cr) nas águas superficiais demonstraram que, apenas o Cu violou a resolução CONAMA 357/2005, nenhuns dos dois elementos violaram a Portaria do Ministério da Saúde nº 518/2004. Em relação aos parâmetros Alumínio (Al), Manganês (Mn) e Ferro (Fe), na área de influencia urbano/industrial, o lançamento de esgoto doméstico, resulta em níveis de contaminação para esses elementos, no restante da área amostrada, indica um enriquecimento natural. Na elaboração cartográfica foi utilizado o software Arc Gis 9.2. Concluiu-se que a bacia do Rio das Velhas se constitui em um ambiente natural frágil. Os vários tipos de interferências antropogênicas, em especial a agricultura comercial, indústrias e urbanização, além de todo o contexto histórico de ocupação desordenada da bacia, contribuíram de forma marcante para a sua degradação hídrica e ambiental. Palavras-chave: Rio das Velhas. Água. Poluição. Metais pesados. CONCENTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF HEAVY METALS ANALYSIS IN WATER OF THE VELHAS RIVER IN THE VÁRZEA DA PALMA TOWN AND THE BARRA DO GUAICUÍ DISTRICT -MG ABSTRACT The Velhas River is the largest tributary in the extension of the São Francisco River in the North of the State of Minas Gerais. The study area is fully located in the Várzea da Palma municipality and is delimited by the following UTM coordinates: 520000E-860200N and 532000E-805200N. Considering the natural particularities and the anthropic characteristics, the study evaluated the concentration and distribution of heavy metals in surface water in 25 samples collected in the field. The chemical analysis of Cu and Cr metals in surface waters shows that only Cu violated CONAMA Resolution 357/2005, neither of the two elements violated Ministry of Health Ordinance No. 518/2004. Regarding the parameters Al, Mn and Fe, in the area of urban / industrial influence, the release of domestic sewage results in levels of contamination for these elements, the rest of the sampled area shows natural enrichment. For cartographic elaboration was used software ArcGis 9.2 to obtain the natural scenarios. It was concluded that the Velhas River basin constitutes itself in a fragile natural environment. The various types of anthropogenic interference, especially commercial agriculture, industries and urbanization, beyond all the historical context of disordered occupation of the basin, contributed significantly to hydric and environmental degradation.

Tenendo em cuenta las condiciones naturales y antrópicas, el estudio evaluó la concentración y distribución del cobre (Cu) y cromo (Cr) en agua superficiale de 25 porciones/partes recogitadas del Rio de Velhas. Los datos puntan que las concentraciones del cobre no están de acuerdo con la resolución del CONAMA 357/2005, y que tanto el cobre como el cromo violaron la Portaría del Ministério de Saúde de Brasil nº 518/2004. En relación a los parámetros de metales cómo aluminio (Al), manganeso (Mn) y fierro (Fe), en la zona de influencia urbano/industrial de saneamiento doméstico, resulta niveles de contaminación a partir de esos elementos. Aunque al rededor de la zona estudiada, esos niveles apuntan un enriquecimiento natural por parte de los mismos. En la elaboración cartográfica se utilizó el software Arc Gis 9.2, para la obtención de los mapas com los escenários naturales. El conjunto de datos han indicado que la cuenca del Rio das Velhas resulta em un ambiente natural extremamente frágil a las contaminaciones.

The Impact

BackgroundThere is an emerging debate that general practice in its current format is out-dated and there is a requirement to move to a federated model of provision where groups of Practices come together. The emergence of federations has developed over the past 5 years but the factors that influence how federations develop and the impact of this new model is an under researched area.AimThe study explored the rationale around why a group of independent GP practices opted to pursue an alternative business venture and the benefits that this strategy offered.MethodA single organisational case study of a federation in the North of England was conducted between 2011–2016. Mixed methods data collection included individual and group semi-structured interviews and quantitative surveys.ResultsFederations promote collaborative working, relying on strategic coherence of multiple individual GP practices through a shared vision and common purpose. Findings revealed many complexities in implementing a common strategy across multiple independent businesses. The ability of the federation to gain legitimacy was two dimensional – externally and internally. The venture had mixed successes, but their approach to quality improvement proved innovative and demonstrated outcomes on a population basis. The study identified significant pressures that practices were experiencing and the need to seek alternative ways of working but there was no shared vision or inclination to relinquish individual practice autonomy.ConclusionOrganisational development support is critical to reform General Practice. Whether central funding through the GP Five Year Forward View will achieve the scale of change required is yet to be evidenced.

Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 186, 50-59. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v186.5215 _______________ The southern tip of Greenland is underlain by the Palaeoproterozoic Ketilidian orogen (e.g. Chadwick & Garde 1996; Garde et al. 1998a). Field investigations in the summer of 1999 were focused on the structure of migmatites (metatexites) and garnetiferous granites (diatexites) of the Pelite Zone in the coastal region of South-East Greenland between Lindenow Fjord and Kap Farvel (Figs 1, 2). Here, we first address the tectonic evolution in the Pelite Zone in that region and its correlation with that in the Psammite Zone further north. Then, the structure and intrusive relationships of the rapakivi suite in the Pelite Zone are discussed, including particular reference to the interpretation of the controversial outcrop on Qernertoq (Figs 2, 8). Studies of the structure of the north-eastern part of the Julianehåb batholith around Qulleq were continued briefly from 1998 but are not addressed here (Fig. 1; Garde et al. 1999). The field study was keyed to an interpretation of the Ketilidian orogen as a whole, including controls of rates of thermal and tectonic processes in convergent settings. Earlier Survey field work (project SUPRASYD, 1992–1996) had as its principal target an evaluation of the economic potential of the orogen (Nielsen et al. 1993). Ensuing plate-tectonic studies were mainly funded in 1997–1998 by Danish research foundations and in 1999 by the Natural Environment Research Council, UK. The five-week programme in 1999 was seriously disrupted by bad weather, common in this part of Greenland, and our objectives were only just achieved. Telestation Prins Christian Sund was the base for our operations (Fig. 2), which were flown with a small helicopter (Hughes MD-500).

Ethnic Heritage

Folk costume is traditionally worn to represent and preserve ethnic heritage. Large numbers of Czechs emigrated to America from the 1870s to 1920s, but eventually, a generation was born that had little contact with their immigrant ancestors. The purpose of our research was to examine what role folk costume plays in the negotiation of Czech ethnic identity and how meaning is constructed and communicated through Czech folk costumes for modern-day wearers. We conducted 11 indepth, semi-structured interviews with descendants of Czech immigrants in a previously unexplored Czech population of the Midwest. We identified four major themes: feelings of connectedness; sense of pride and joy; importance of perceived authenticity; and variation, nuance, and meaning of costume construction and style.
