As Unidades de Conservação instituídas no Brasil tem empreendido esforços para proteger a diversidade ecológica e cultural do país, entretanto, o uso destes espaços dissociado de políticas de manejo, conservação e sensibilização da população local e dos visitantes tem reproduzido um cenário de degradação ambiental. A Área de Relevante Interesse Ecológico Econômico (ARIE) Mata da Bica, criada no município de Portalegre, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, através do decreto municipal 002/2016, destaca-se pelos seus atributos naturais, representados pelas nascentes perenes, a Cachoeira do Pinga e a mata subcaducifólia associada. Apesar do potencial ambiental, a unidade não dispõe ainda do seu plano de manejo, e o uso público ocorre de maneira desordenada. Tendo em vista esta problemática, este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar o uso público da ARIE Mata da Bica e propor alternativas de uso coerentes com a conservação e o bem-estar social. Para isso, a coleta de dados se deteve às técnicas de georreferenciamento, registro fotográfico, check list, e aplicação de 119 questionários. Os principais resultados obtidos constataram que a maioria dos visitantes da ARIE não reside em Portalegre (77%); e que estes, apesar de estarem visitando uma Unidade de Conservação, desconhecem o termo (65%) e 79% não sabe o significado de ARIE; Quanto ao uso público, as atividades de educação ambiental, turismo científico e observação de aves foram eleitas como possibilidades para a Mata da Bica, que atualmente é utilizada principalmente para fins de balneabilidade e contemplação paisagística. Mediante o destaque do local como um polo turístico regional, de aspectos ecológicos relevantes, acredita-se que o diagnóstico proferido no estudo contribuirá com a construção de uma política de regulação e gestão coerente com a dinâmica do local. The public use of the Area of Relevant Ecological Interest Mata da Bica/Portalegre (RN, Brazil): potentialities and limitations ABSTRACT Conservation Units established in Brazil have made efforts to protect the country's ecological and cultural diversity, however, the use of these spaces disassociated with the management, conservation and sensitization policies of the local population and visitors has reproduced a scenario of environmental degradation. The Area of Relevant Ecological Economic Interest (ARIE) Mata da Bica, created in the municipality of Portalegre, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, through municipal decree 002/2016, stands out for its natural attributes, represented by the perennial springs, the Pinga Water fall and the associated sub-deciduous forest. Despite the environmental potential, the unit does not have its management plan, and public use occurs in a disorderly manner. In view of this problem, the objective of this work was to analyse the public use of ARIE Mata da Bica and propose alternatives of use consistent with conservation and social welfare. For this, the data collection was the techniques of georeferencing, photographic record, checklist, and application of 119 questionnaires. The main results obtained showed that the majority of ARIE visitors do not live in Portalegre (77%); and that these, although they are visiting a Conservation Unit, are unaware of the term (65%) and 79% do not know the meaning of ARIE. As for public use, the activities of environmental education, scientific tourism and birdwatching were chosen as possibilities for Mata da Bica, which is currently used mainly for bathing and landscape contemplation purposes. By highlighting the place as a regional tourist pole, of relevant ecological aspects, it is believed that the diagnosis given in the study will contribute to the construction of a policy of regulation and management consistent with the dynamics of the site.

Abstract This article focuses on the impacts of the Public Forest Management Law on traditionally occupied territories, by analyzing the case of Crepori National Forest, in the state of Pará. The origins of the modalities of protected areas that focus primarily on high-tech exploitation are the starting point of the exposition, which highlights the elements that show how the management of forests benefits commercial exploration of wood resources over the territorial rights of peoples and communities that traditionally occupy these areas. The text also explains the mechanisms of the law that purportedly protect the territorial integrity of the conservation units. Finally, we present the case of Crepori, in which traditional communities were made invisible by the national forest management plan. The article draws on qualitative research, based on secondary data and ethnographic field work. The findings corroborate studies indicating that the processes of forest concessions negatively impact traditional communities.

As áreas protegidas, no Brasil denominadas de “Unidades de Conservação”, além da sua função precípua de proteger a preservar amostras representativas dos ecossistemas e paisagens naturais, incluindo os recursos culturais nelas presentes, também se prestam a outras finalidades de alcance econômico e social. No caso da categoria “Parque” o desenvolvimento de atividades de educação e interpretação ambiental, de recreação em contato com a natureza e do turismo, através da visitação, se constitui em um dos objetivos primários. Ao mesmo tempo, a demanda social por visitação junto a estas áreas naturais vem aumentando, juntamente com a expectativa dos visitantes pela qualidade do atendimento e satisfação de sua experiência. Para tanto, devem estar abertas a visitação e adequadamente estruturadas. Diante deste contexto, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo reconhecer o uso público nos parques estaduais no Brasil, com ênfase na visitação turística. A pesquisa teve um caráter qualitativo e exploratório. O seu universo foi constituído por todas as unidades de conservação da categoria “Parque” que tenham sido criadas nos 26 Estados brasileiros. As análises foram orientadas pelo marco técnico e metodológico existente na área, como as diretrizes oficiais e os documentos de referência para o planejamento e a gestão de unidades de conservação. Em síntese, os resultados da pesquisa identificaram que o atendimento ao visitante ainda é incipiente, pois vários parques estaduais atuam sem as mínimas condições básicas para o uso público, e até mesmo sem a implantação de um plano de manejo ou ferramenta gestora equivalente, além de muitos não contarem com recursos humanos voltados para o atendimento deste público. Vários parques estão fechados à visitação e a maioria não possui relação com o trade turístico, reduzindo a sua divulgação. O conhecimento gerado nesta pesquisa constitui-se em uma etapa inicial para investigações subsequentes e mais aprofundadas sobre o tema, mas desde já fornece informações úteis para a academia, os gestores dos sistemas estaduais de unidades de conservação e o trade (eco) turístico. Recognition of Public Use in the State Parks in Brazil with emphasis on tourism visit ABSTRACT The Conservation Units of the "Park" category, besides preserving representative samples of ecosystems and natural landscapes, aim to develop activities of education and environmental interpretation, recreation in contact with nature and tourism, through the visitation and, must be open and adequately structured. In this context, the present research had as general objective to recognize the public use in the state parks in Brazil, with emphasis on the tourist visitation. The research had an exploratory character and its universe were all conservation units of the category "Park" existing in the 26 Brazilian states. The analyzes based on data obtained from secondary sources were guided by the technical and methodological framework of the official guidelines and the reference documents for the planning and management of state conservation units. In summary, the results of the survey identified that visitor attendance at state parks is still incipient, since in general, they do not have a basic structure for public use, they do not have enough human resources to attend this public and so little management plan in force or equivalent management tool, most are not related to the tourist trade and several parks are closed to visitation, reducing its disclosure. The knowledge generated in this research constitutes an initial stage for subsequent and more in depth investigations on the subject, but already provides useful information for the academy, the managers of the state systems of protected areas and the tourism (eco).

O uso público de uma área protegida está associado ao processo de visitação que pode se manifestar em atividades educativas, de lazer, recreativas e de interpretação ambiental, desde que não afetem negativamente os objetivos de conservação da área visitada. No Rio Grande do Sul mais da metade das 23 Unidades de Conservação (UC) estaduais são Parques, categoria que privilegia o uso público. O Programa de Uso Público visa ordenar a presença humana no interior da UC, prevendo turismo, educação e interpretação ambiental. Este trabalho teve por objetivo diagnosticar a realidade dos programas de uso público dos parques estaduais do Rio Grande do Sul, conhecendo a percepção dos gestores dessas áreas quanto às atividades desenvolvidas e a eficácia de cada programa. Oito parques estaduais que já contam com plano de manejo foram estudados. A falta de funcionários é apontada por todos os gestores como sendo o fator responsável pelo fato de sete parques estaduais não receberem visitantes. Mais da metade das ações propostas nos programas de uso público não estavam efetivadas quando da realização do estudo. An overview on Public Use in State Parks of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) ABSTRACT The public use of a protected area is associated to the process of visitation that can manifest itself in educational, leisure, recreational and environmental interpretation activities, as long as it does not negatively affect the conservation objectives of the visited area. In Rio Grande do Sul, more than half of the 23 protected areas are Parks, a category that favors public use. The Public Use Program aims to order the human presence inside the protected area, providing for tourism, education and environmental interpretation. This study aimed to diagnose the reality of the public use programs of the state parks of Rio Grande do Sul, knowing the perception of the managers of these areas as to the activities developed and the effectiveness of each program. Eight state parks that already have a management plan were studied. The lack of employees is pointed out by all managers as being the factor responsible for the fact that seven state parks do not receive visitors. More than half of the actions proposed in public use programs were not implemented at the time of the study. KEYWORDS: Ecotourism; Visitation; Protected Area.

The current study examines the importance of planning and management documents (notably the forest management plan and the regional forest plan) for public relations purposes. 17 people (15 forest engineers and 2 forest guards) were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The results of our survey show that some of the information used for public relations is taken from the planning documents. The forest management plan is primarily considered to be an internal document, but it also provides information on the objectives of forest enterprises, justifications of the planned measures, numbers and maps. The regional forest plan contributes to the public relations in three ways: its content provides information about objectives, description of forest functions, projects and measures. In addition, the participation of the public in the process of elaborating this plan is an ideal opportunity to heighten awareness in society and further public understanding of the forest and forestry services. Finally, as the regional forest management plan is in the public domain, it functions as a type of «show case» of the forest service.

Grain Prices

Earlier work has tended to view Delos as an entrepôt for the larger Hellenistic grain trade, but during the years of independence (314-167 B.C.) the island relied on the import of grain to satisfy local demand, and this was certainly the more important aspect of the trade in grain, at least from the Delians' point of view. This study explores several issues connected with the local supply of grain. From prices for grain reported in inscriptions and estimates of the local population, the aggregate annual demand for grain is estimated, and the price structure of grain derived; the ratio of wheat and barley prices on Delos is found to differ considerably from that known from Athens and Roman Egypt. The shortage of 282 B.C., assumed by earlier scholars from prices recorded for that year, is shown instead to be a period of atypically low prices. The impact of the sailing season on shipments of grain is explored, and an annual rhythm in grain prices and availability linked to the closure of the sea and the agricultural year is revealed. The Delians tried to reduce the impact of these fluctuations by the public purchase of grain on an irregular basis in the late fourth and third century, as attested through public loans; by the last quarter of the third century they had established a regular sitōnia fund to buy grain for resale at reduced prices. Comparison of funds available, grain prices, and the estimated aggregate demand suggest that the Delian sitōnia was able to cover a significant fraction of local demand; this contrasts with evidence from other cities. Some of the implications of these results for our understanding of the Hellenistic economy are briefly explored.

Coagulation is an innate defense mechanism intended to limit blood loss and trap invading pathogens during infection. However,Staphylococcus aureushas the ability to hijack the coagulation cascade and generate clots via secretion of coagulases. Although manyS. aureushave this characteristic, some do not. The population dynamics regarding this defining trait have yet to be explored. We report here that coagulases are public goods that confer protection against antimicrobials and immune factors within a local population or community, thus promoting growth and virulence. By utilizing variants of a methicillin-resistantS. aureuswe infer that the secretion of coagulases is a cooperative trait, which is subject to exploitation by invading mutants that do not produce the public goods themselves. However, overexploitation, “tragedy of the commons,” does not occur at clinically relevant conditions. Our micrographs indicate this is due to spatial segregation and population viscosity. These findings emphasize the critical role of coagulases in a social evolution context and provide a possible explanation as to why the secretion of these public goods is maintained in mixedS. aureuscommunities.

Abstract The goal of this study was to identify which bird species consume Solanum granuloso-leprosum fruits and disperse its seeds. 60 hours of focal observations were carried out between April and May 2006 on the edge of a deciduous forest fragment in the Uruguay River region, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. Ten species were observed in total removing 443 fruits. Saltator similis removed 61.8% of the fruits, followed by Tangara sayaca (17.1%), Pipraeidea bonariensis (11.7%), and T. preciosa (6.8%), while the remaining six species accounted for only 2.5% of the fruits removed. Most fruit removal occurred early in the day or mid-afternoon. The most common feeding behaviors were picking (60.7%), followed by stalling (23%) and hovering (16%). Birds flew more than 10 m from the fruit plant in 62% of the removal events. All bird species observed here may be considered potential dispersers of S. granuloso-leprosum, as they moved the seeds away from the mother plant where strong competition and predation are likely to occur. Results also suggest that S. granuloso-leprosum may be useful in ecological restoration programs.

The beginnings of the shaping of social representations of borrowings in the public sphereThe article presents an initial phase of the process of shaping of social representations of borrowings. The aim was to obtain a view of the way in which participants of the public sphere talked about these elements of language, how they perceived them as well as what common sense image was created on this basis in the communication sphere and how it was modified. The first judgements and opinions on the matter of foreign words appeared around the 16th century and evolved from that moment. The theory of social representations developed by Serge Moscovici was applied as a theoretical and methodological basis of the description. Its research tools allow us to see the way in which societies construct meanings of matters important to them. On the basis of the analysis of the material it was established that from the beginning there were rather antagonistic elements of social representations of borrowings. The functionality of borrowings was noticed. Yet it was postulated that they should be eliminated from texts on account of the necessity to develop the native language, the incomprehensibility of statements as well as the excessive trend of foreignness.

Abstract: We present an Odonata (Insecta) check list of species occurring in a fragment of the Seasonal Deciduous Forest (Atlantic Forest biome) from the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), southern Brazil, along with a list of the odonate species recorded in this phytoecological region for the state. In addition, we provide comments on the seasonal distribution of the species occurring in the study area. Two streams and seven farm ponds located in the middle course of the Jacuí River basin were surveyed between December 2007 and February 2009. Overall, we recorded 49 species from 21 genera and six families. Argia serva Hagen in Selys, 1865 (Coenagrionidade) had its first occurrence record mentioned for the state, elevating to 183 the total number of Odonata species occurring in Rio Grande do Sul. The number of species recorded in the study area corresponds to ~26% of the known Odonata diversity in RS. Libellulidae was the most species-rich family (22 species, ~45% of the total), followed by Coenagrionidae (18 species, 37% of the total). The checklist for the Seasonal Deciduous Forest in RS indicated the occurrence of 83 species of Odonata in this phytoecological region (~45% of the known odonate species in the state). This elevated diversity could be related to the density of the vegetation structure. In the study area, 20 species were found in streams, and 45 in farm ponds. Species occurrence showed marked seasonal patterns in the study area, with 88% of the species recorded from summer to autumn, and no species detected in streams in the winter. Moreover, 70% of the species were recorded in either one or two seasons in farm ponds, while 65% occurred solely in one season in streams. This result indicates that the life cycle of Odonata in southern Brazil is strongly influenced by seasonal patterns in temperature.
