Resumo: A Mata Atlântica é o terceiro maior bioma brasileiro e possui uma dasmaiores biodiversidades do mundo. Tem função reguladora do fluxo dos mananciaishídricos, mantém a fertilidade do solo, controla o equilíbrio climático, eevita deslizamentos de escarpas e encostas de regiões serranas. Desde temposcoloniais vem sofrendo os impactos da atividade exploratória e do crescimentopopulacional e urbano, que causaram fragmentação de ecossistemas, perda debiodiversidade e deterioração de recursos naturais. Aproximadamente 8,5% desua cobertura são áreas preservadas com mais de 100 hectares. A conservaçãodesses fragmentos e a recuperação de áreas degradadas são fundamentais paraa manutenção do bioma e da qualidade de vida das populações associadas a ele.Palavras-chave: Bioma Mata Atlântica.

Abstract Purpose To identify the life domains that are most frequently reported to be affected in scoliosis patients undergoing brace treatment. Methods A search within the PubMed database was conducted and a total of 60 publications were selected. We classified the studies based on the methods used to measure patients’ quality of life (QoL) and categorized the life domains reported to be affected. Results Self-image/body configuration was the most reported affected domain of patients’ QoL, identified in 32 papers, whilst mental health/stress was the second most reported affected domain. Mental health was identified in 11 papers, and 11 papers using the BSSQ questionnaire reported medium stress amongst their participants. Vitality was the third most reported affected domain, identified in 12 papers. Conclusions Our review indicates that scoliotic adolescents treated with bracing suffer in their quality of life most from psychological burdens. To improve these patients’ life quality, more attention should be focussed on supporting their mental health.

Abstract Introduction: Along with the rising life expectancy, there occurs an increased interest in geriatric care and in assessment of life quality in elderly persons. This study sought to examine the effects of physical activity on the quality of life in students of the University of the Third Age (UTA). Another purpose was to determine correlations between physical activity at a young age and the level of health state and physical activity at the time of the research as well as assessing the effects of socio-demographic factors on the quality of life in elderly individuals. Material and methods: The study included 138 UTA students (113 females and 25 males) aged 50 and above from Warminsko-mazurskie region. The questionnaire consisting of two parts was applied as a research tool. The first part included the authors’ own questionnaire with general questions as well as questions regarding physical activity levels at a young age and at the time of the research. The second part was made up of the standardised WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (shorter version of WHOQOL) which was used to assess the subjects’ quality of life. Results: No significant differences between physical activity levels at a young age and at the time of the research were noted (p < 0.05). Self-evaluation of both life quality and heath state was significantly higher in individuals engaged in vigorous and moderate physical activity (p < 0.05) than in the other group. Conclusions: Physical activity of UTA students determines their quality of life and health state. Socio-demographic factors such as sex, age and a place of living influence the scores regarding the quality of life in WHOQOL-BREF domains.

A fragmentação e destruição da Mata Atlântica tornam a sua conservação fundamental. A serapilheira é um importante componente desse sistema e apresenta diferenças na deposição nos diferentes ecossistemas brasileiros. Com isso, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da precipitação e da temperatura do ar no aporte de serapilheira em fragmentos florestais localizados em Sorocaba, SP. A quantidade média de serapilheira aportada foi de 6,9 ± 0,4 mg.ha-1.ano-1, formada por 65% de folhas. Houve diferenças entre as deposições nas estações do ano, sendo que a menor quantidade foi depositada no período seco. A correlação da serapilheira e suas frações não foram significativas quando analisada para o mesmo mês da avaliação da temperatura do ar e precipitação. Porém, quando se relacionam meses anteriores, a correlação é mais expressiva, demonstrando que a resposta da vegetação a variações ambientais não é imediata.Palavras-chave: Clima; sazonalidade; Mata Atlântica. AbstractInfluence of precipitation and air temperature in production of litterfall in stretch of seasonal forest. Fragmentation and destruction of the Atlantic Rainforest make its conservation essential. The litter is an important component of this system, and reveals differences in deposition in the different Brazilian ecosystems. This research aims to evaluate the effect of rainfall and air temperature on litterfall input in a forest fragment at the municipality of Sorocaba, São Paulo State, Brazil. The average contribution of litterfall was 6.9±0.4Mg ha-1 yr-1, comprising 65% of leaves. There were differences between the seasons, with the less amount in the dry season. The correlation of litter and its fractions was not relevant for the same month of air temperature and rainfall measurement. However, the correlation is significant when related to the previous month, demonstrating that the response of vegetation to environmental changes is not immediate.Keywords: Climate; seasonality; Atlantic forest.

AbstractThe new species Byssoloma catillariosporum and Porina isidioambigua are described from NE Brazil. The first is reminiscent of B. leucoblepharum but differs by the consistently uniseptate ascospores. The second is characterized by tiny isidia and black perithecia with relatively large, 3-septate ascospores. Both species were found at the Área de Proteço Ambiental (APA) Morro do Urubu, an area of c. 214 hectares in the large (500 000 inhabitants) city of Aracaju. It is the only urban Mata Atlântica remnant in Aracaju, with mesophytic deciduous and semi-deciduous forest, and cerrado enclaves in isolated points.

A third place functions as a meeting platform for people outside their daily routine in homes, working places, and can enhance the life quality of urban society, especially during the increasingly individualist era due to the growth of technology. Penjaringan District has one of the busiest nodes in Jakarta City, and consists of housing (first place) and offices (second place) with relatively large and equal percentage, and with the positions which allows permeability. The design site which is located between Pluit and Penjaringan Subdistricts, is chosen based on the performed district investigation. Nearby facilities have the potential to be improved, such as Putra Putri Park, Penjaringan Busway Station, and Pluit Junction Mall.  A skywalk is introduced to connect the facilites by acting as a platform to bring mobility from and to Penjaringan Busway Station to vitalize Pluit Junction Mall and Putra Putri Park which in their existing condition did not function as intended. The designed third place which is connected with the skywalk becomes one with the formed connectivity. Music is the chosen theme for the third place as a binder of the people with their differing backgrounds. The proxemics approach and the Pattern Language method are used to shape the spaces to encourage social interaction. The vision is to make the third place to be “a large living room” for Penjaringan District. The third place which provides a freedom of expression and encourages visitors to bring and play music instruments is hoped to act as an interaction and activity platform for both the locals and outsiders. Keywords: freedom of expression; living room; music; skywalk; third place AbstrakThird place berperan sebagai wadah berkumpulnya warga di luar keseharian mereka tinggal dan bekerja, dan dapat meningkatkan kualitas kehidupan masyarakat perkotaan, terutama di dalam era yang semakin individualis sebagai akibat dari perkembangan teknologi. Kawasan Penjaringan memiliki salah satu noda teramai di Kota Jakarta, dan terdiri dari perumahan (tempat pertama) dan perkantoran (tempat kedua) dengan presentase yang relatif besar dan seimbang, dengan posisi yang memungkinkan adanya permeabilitas di antara keduanya. Tapak perancangan yang terletak di perbatasan Kelurahan Pluit dan Kelurahan Penjaringan, terpilih berdasarkan investigasi kawasan yang dilakukan. Beberapa  fasilitas terdekat memiliki potensi peningkatan kualitas, diantaranya Taman Putra Putri, Halte Transjakarta Penjaringan, dan Mal Pluit Junction. Sebuah skywalk dihadirkan untuk mengkoneksikan fasilitas-fasilitas tersebut dengan menjadi wadah yang membawa pergerakan dari dan menuju ke Halte Transjakarta Penjaringan untuk menghidupkan Mal Pluit Junction serta Taman Putra Putri yang pada kondisi eksisting tidak berfungsi secara maksimal. Tempat ketiga yang dirancang terhubung dengan skywalk ini dan menjadi sebuah kesatuan bagi konektivitas yang terbentuk. Musik merupakan tema terpilih sebagai pengikat orang-orang yang beragam latar belakangnya. Teori proksemik dan metode Bahasa Pola digunakan untuk menciptakan keruangan yang mendorong terjadinya interaksi sosial. Visi proyek ini adalah untuk menjadikan tempat ketiga ini “sebuah ruang tamu besar” bagi Kawasan Penjaringan. Tempat ketiga yang memberikan kebebasan ekspresi dan mengundang pengunjung untuk membawa dan memainkan instrumen musik ini diharapkan dapat berperan sebagai wadah interaksi dan kegiatan bagi warga lokal ataupun pengunjung dari luar kawasan.

Circularity measurement in Households in the Context of Improving their Life Quality The article presents the issue of measuring circularity in households. The main attention is given to the presentation of available methods of measuring circularity, among others in the whole economy. The main objective of this article is to establish links between the perceptible improvement in the quality of life and the implementation of circular behaviour in households is key in assessing the possibilities of implementing postulates of circular economy in all aspects of the economy. The purpose of this article is to attempt to link the two aforementioned areas as well as to identify potential factors that should be taken into account when measuring. This contribution is the third in a series of articles devoted to circular economy and theoretical in nature.

ResumoEsse trabalho tem o objetivo de realizar estudos técnicos de zoneamento ambiental para subsidiar diretrizes para o plano de manejo nas áreas do Parque São Vicente Pallotti e Parque do Morro. Para tanto, confeccionaram-se mapas temáticos, os quais permitiram a identificação, caracterização e mapeamento das diferentes paisagens e das articulações o que subsidiou a proposta de um zoneamento e, elaboração de diretrizes para o plano de manejo. Portanto, foi possível constatar que em razão das áreas de estudo se localizarem quase que totalmente no perímetro urbano de Santa Maria elas sofrem corriqueiramente pressões em relação à expansão urbana e especulação imobiliária. Ressalta-se também que ambas as áreas dos Parques estão na Reserva da Biosfera da Mata Atlântica. Diante desse resultado e dos demais, geraram-se ainda os mapas de zoneamento ambiental. Por fim, acredita-se que a implantação de UCs nas áreas de estudo seja determinante para a conservação dessas áreas.Palavras-chaves: Unidades de Conservação. Parque São Vicente Pallotti.

Así que, se confeccionaron mapas temáticos, los cuales permitieron la identificación, caracterización y levantamiento cartográfico de los diferentes paisajes y de las articulaciones lo que subsidió la propuesta de una división de zonas ambientales y, elaboración de directrices para el plan de manejo. Por lo tanto, fue posible constatar que en razón de las áreas de estudio localizarse casi que totalmente en el perímetro urbano de Santa Maria ellas sufren rutinariamente presiones en relación a la expansión urbana y especulación inmobiliaria. Se resalta también que ambas las áreas de los Parques están en la Reserva de la Biosfera de la Mata Atlántica. Delante de esos resultados y de los demás, se generaron aún los mapas de división de zonas ambientales. Por fin, se cree que la implementación de UCs en las áreas de estudio sea determinante para la conservación de esas áreas.Palabras-clave: Unidades de Conservación. Parque São Vicente Pallotti.

For this, we made thematic maps, which allowed the identification, characterization and mapping of different landscapes and the articulations, what subsidized the proposal of a zoning and, elaboration of guidelines for the management planting. Therefore, it was possible to observe that because the areas of study are located almost totally in the urban perimeter of Santa Maria they suffer pressures routinely in relation to the urban expansion and property speculation. We also highlight that both areas of the parks are in Biosphere Reserve of the Atlantic Forest. Before this result and the others, it was still generated the maps of environmental zoning. Finally, we believe that the implantation of Conservation Units in the areas of study is determinant for the conservation of these areas.Keywords: Conservation Units. Parque São Vicente Pallotti.
