The City

In 2010, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics published a survey on urban afforestation in Brazil and Manaus city occupied the 4493rd place among the 5565 municipalities analyzed. Concerning the cities with more than 1 million habitants, Manaus was in the penultimate place, a frustrating result, since the city is the Amazon' capital, surrounded by the largest rainforest in the World. On the other hand, the cities with the best performances were Goiânia, Campinas, Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre, and Curitiba. Given this context, the research aims to investigate the urban afforestation's best management practices to propose suggestions for Manaus' public managers. The data collection and analysis are based in the study "Urbanistic Characteristics of the Surroundings of the Domiciles", besides obtaining information and documents from articles and websites of the governments and partners of the best city investigated. After the intersection of information, 36 good urban management practices were cataloged and proposed to Manaus' public managers.

Management models are grounded in three basic pillars: people, processes, and technologies. In this scenario, the business incubator management model is fundamental because it is important for business incubators to meet the demands of new entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to map the incubator management models of companies in the world and national scenario. To do so, the methodology used was the integrative review of the literature using the Scopus database and regulations, international, and national documents. One of the problems encountered in these models is that most management models for business incubators describe a business incubator as a transformation mechanism, but do not explain in detail the incubator process and best management practices for the continuous improvement of incubated business.

The use of separate stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) has become common in United States, Europe, Australia and other parts of the world. Much of this technology is emerging and, as a result, it is sometimes used without fully understanding its limitations and without recognizing its effectiveness under field conditions. This paper presents and evaluates a number of structural and non-structural BMPs. The evaluations are based on extensive literature review, field observation and discussions with stormwater professionals in many parts of United States about their experience with BMP performance.

Receiving Water

Pollutant loading from urban runoff has been established as a major cause of receiving water degradation. In an effort to control this problem at the source many Best Management Practices (BMP) have been developed. In this report, the Atlantis Exfiltration Tanks System, was developed as a potential BMP for the City of Sarnia. In order to analyze the efficiency and performance characteristics of the Atlantis Exfiltration Tanks, it is necessary to conduct pilot study before implementation. For this purpose, the highly impervious parking lot of the Newton's Park in Sarnia was selected to develop the Atlantis Exfiltration System (AES). The construction of AES was completed in summer of 2004. AES is an "at source" base water purification and storage system. This report includes the construction and performance of AES followed by conclusions and recommendations for further study.

Whiteflies are a common pest of many ornamental plants throughout Florida and the world. There are more than 1,500 species worldwide and over 75 reported in Florida. Some of the most economically important species in Florida are the sweetpotato whitefly, also called the silverleafwhitefly (Bemisia tabaci), the ficus whitefly (Singhiella simplex), and the citrus whitefly (Dialeurodes citri). Although infestation does not always require treatment, it is important to be able to identify and monitor for these pests for effective integrated pest management. This 8-page fact sheet describes whitefly species, their identification and biology, the damage they cause, and best management practices to control them and still maintain healthy populations of natural enemies and other beneficial insects.

Kelantan State recorded the highest in terms of acreage for tobacco plantation with consists of77.94 %. Tobacco plantation was known to be the most risky job among Kelantanese due toextensive usage of pesticide and fertilizer. This study was conducted to identify the differencesbetween male and female in Best Management Practices (BMPs) for tobacco cultivators inBachok as well as to relate it with the fertilizers and pesticides related diseases in Bachok District,Kelantan, Malaysia. The results revealed that, the correlation between wearing proper PPEs andgender (p<0.05) and between chronic diseases and gender (p<0.05) were significant. Femalecultivators they are more concern about their health compared to the male. Meanwhile, 49% ofmale and 25 % of female cultivators claimed that they had the acute illnesses. On the other hand,the health data in 2010 obtained from the Bachok District Health Center showed that, acute upperrespiratory tract infections (19,641 cases) and other disease of the respiratory system (16,484cases) recorded the highest cases followed by dermatitis (5,300 cases), conjunctivitis (2,582cases), urticarial (1,689 cases), impetigo (1,387 cases), poisonings (548 cases), asthma (450cases) and bronchitis (8 cases). It could be concluded that, the female planter are more healthconscious and it is revealed in this findings where they wore PPEs at all times when dealing withchemicals.

Sufficient Reduction

This paper describes a modelling approach for evaluating the efficiency of different non-structural best management practices for stormwater management. A scenario with a set of source reduction practices was simulated using the substance flow model SEWSYS for an urban catchment in the city of Göteborg, Sweden. The scenario is based on a hypothetical control program that includes prevention, education and regulations. The simulation shows relatively high reductions of copper and PAH, 77% and 50%, respectively. The reduction in copper is mainly due to less copper roof corrosion and brake wear, while reduced road wear has the greatest effect for PAH. An important result from this study is that the non-structural BMPs applied did not give a sufficient reduction in pollution to meet the desirable environmental quality criteria. To meet these criteria, additional BMPs must be implemented, preferably a combination of both non-structural and structural measures.
