Abstract:

This article consists as a theoretical essay on the thematic of curriculum and its unfolding in the reality of riverside schools. In the first instance, it aims to elucidate conceptualissues about curriculum and points out the mismatches between school contents that are defined arbitrarily and become decontextualized for the educational reality of the riverside schools.Then, some social aspects are brought in regarding the riverside schools, aiming to characterize this reality to the reader, as well as to present some of the social aspects that surround this context.It is argued that school curricula do not dialogue with the reality of the riverside communities, resulting in innocuouseducational actions, devoid of meaning and distant of deep social transformations.

Abstract:

The sudies on the issues related to communities in the interior of West Kalimantan begin to take place when Dutch and other European scholars in the colonial period came to the region. But they have been limitedly documented. The amount of research by local and foreign scholars in the region is still not significant when compared to that of research in Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei which are also situated on the island of Borneo. In fact, the natural wealth, cultural heritage and the rural communities of West Kalimantan need serious attention and studies for the purpose of the development of the region. In addition, local elements such as human and cutural resources may become potential supports of development to improve the welfare of the communities. This study highlights the significant contribution of religious and cultural aspects within the communities living around the upper Kapuas riverside. Acculturation of local and Islamic cultures have occurred since the advent of Islam into the interior areas of Kalimantan through the Kapuas River. The acculturation of local religions and cultures also promotes a very important local religious institution in the process of social change of the communities of the Kapuas riverside in the interior of West Kalimantan. The local religious institutions serve as an infrastructure that has been proven to ensure the survival of the living Muslim community system that existed among indigenous people who were still in the local beliefs of their time. This study also finds that the Muslim communities of the Kapuas Riverside in the interior of West Kalimantan already have extensive networks, not just the kinship network, Islamic trade and da'wah but also the network of scholarship. Of course, the growth of these growing networks is influenced by the media that also develops in its name. Thus this work also describes a comprehensive analysis of cultural and religious aspects in the development of communities of the Kapuas riverside in the interior of West Kalimantan which is currently included in the administrative areas of Sintang and Kapuas Hulu Districts.

Abstract:

Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is a parasitic zoonosis expanding in Brazil. Several municipalities in the state of Mato Grosso including those on the river Cuiabá have reported the incidence of both human and canine cases and the identification of sandfly vector, Lutzomyia longipalpis and Lu. cruzi. Dogs are considered the main reservoir of Leishmania chagasi in the urban areas, hence, we devised a cross-sectional study aimed at assessing the prevalence of the infection in the dogs of riverside communities on Cuiabá River watershed by parasitological (parasitic isolation in culture), serological, and molecular methods. Of the 248 surveyed dogs, 24 were positive in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT), with a prevalence of 9.7%. The riverside communities located in the town of Santo Antonio do Leverger displayed a higher prevalence of the disease than the cities of Cuiabá and Várzea Grande; however, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Dogs born in the communities had a 3.24-fold higher risk of acquiring the infection. Promastigote were isolated in the axenic culture from the bone marrow samples and intact skin. Further, DNA of Leishmania sp. was detected in the bone marrow samples, lymph nodes, leukocyte cover, and skin of only one examined dog. These samples were sequenced and they showed 99% homology to L. infantum. To conclude, we observed a higher prevalence of infection in Riverside communities of Santo Antonio do Leverger and the confirmation of autochthony in these areas justifies the surveillance actions to minimise the risk of transmission within the riverine community itself, besides its dissemination to other areas by tourism.

Abstract:

Children from riverside communities located downstream of gold mining areas may be chronically exposed to relatively high levels of MeHg through the consumption of fish of this region. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare levels of THg and MeHg in hair of children less than 12 years in communities near mines in the municipality of Itaituba and in communities far from prospecting areas in the city of Abaetetuba. The communities of Itaituba (Barreiras and São Luiz do Tapajós) had THg mean levels of5.64±5.55 μg·g−1(0.43–27.82) and11.41±7.16 μg.g−1(1.08–28.17), respectively, and an average count of MeHg relative to THg of 92.20% and 90.27%, respectively. In the Maranhão community, the THg average concentrations results were2.27±2.11 μg·g−1(0.13–9.54) and the average values were 93.17% for MeHg. Children of Itaituba had average levels of mercury above the limit established by the World Health Organization (10 μg·g−1) and the strong correlation coefficient between the communities (R=0.968andP=0.0001) suggests the hair as an excellent biomarker of human exposure to organic mercury in riverside populations of the Tapajós, which has the intake of fish daily as main source of protein dietary.

Abstract:

This article, based on Paulo Freire’s contributions, analyzes the collective experiences of riverside communities of the Marajó Archipelago, Pará, Brazil, in search of guaranteeing rights. It starts with the idea of education as a political act (FREIRE, 1987, 1992, 1996) and the critical discussion about the capitalist-colonial development model (CASTRO, 2010) to think and act in the face of the current social vulnerability. Methodologically, the line of interdisciplinary reflection in the fields of Popular Education and Sociology, which characterizes the critical approach of the article, was adopted. The primary sources came from the valorization of the word in conversation circles, from workshops on social organization and from the affirmation of culture in community activities. The results point to initiatives for the formation of residents’ associations, qualification for income generation activities and the recognition of the value of riverside communities as holders of histories, potencies and socio-territorial rights.

Abstract:

AbstractThe National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS, 2002–2003, n =2095) indicated that Asian-Americans (AA) use mental health services less frequently than the general population (8.6% vs. 17.95%). Even AA who have been diagnosed with mental health disorders use mental health services less frequently than their non-AA counterparts (34.1% versus 41.1%)2. AA in Riverside County count for 7.4% of the population, or about 181,356 individuals, according to the 2018 census estimates. The objective of the study is to examine and compare rates of utilization of mental health services by AA specifically in the Riverside County setting. This study utilizes data on patients’ ethnicity, age, gender, and diagnosis as collected annually by the Riverside County Department of Mental Health from the fiscal year of 2017–2018. It compares the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and the rate of utilization of mental health services by AA in the county to the data collected by the NLAAS. The total number of AA using mental health services in Riverside County is 669, which totals 1.73% of all individuals accessing the same services. The number of AA using mental health services represented 0.45% of the total AA population in Riverside County. AA in Riverside County are utilizing MH services even less than the national rates (0.45% vs 8.6% nationally from NLAAS data). The gap in care illustrated by these results exemplifies not only the disparity in utilization of MH services seen in this particular ethnic group, but portrays the stagnant results from Riverside County s attempts to address this issue. Possible reasons for the disparity include lack of access, stigma, recovery, migration, and a lack of culturally-competent care. A reimagined outreach initiative may help to better address this issue. Riverside County already has implemented an AA Task Force, holds health fairs at local churches in the communities, supports a UCR School of Medicine student-run free clinic, and is active in NAMI events.

Abstract:

Background. Intestinal parasites are a major source of health problems in developing countries, where socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental conditions contribute in maintaining the biological cycles of various parasites and facilitating their spread. The objective of this study, conducted in Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil, was to investigate the occurrence of intestinal parasites in riverside communities in the South Pantanal wetlands and conduct educational interventions focused on health and environmental preservation. Method. In total, 196 stool samples were tested for parasites using the merthiolate-iodine-formaldehyde concentration (MIFC) technique and spontaneous sedimentation and educational activities were carried out. Results. Enteroparasite prevalence was 72% (65.6–78.2%; 95% CI). Of the 141 positive cases, monoparasitism was found in 34.7%, biparasitism in 23%, and polyparasitism in 14.3%. Entamoeba coli was the most frequent protozoan (70.2%). Among helminths, hookworms were the most prevalent. Enteroparasitosis prevalence did not differ for sex or place of abode but proved higher in individuals older than 10 years. Conclusion. The high positivity rate for enteroparasites found for the communities stems from lack of sanitation and poor personal and environmental hygiene habits, indicating that effective health policies and educational interventions are needed to reduce the current risk levels.

Abstract:

Abstract Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan with worldwide distribution and dogs act as sentinels of human infection. This search aimed to determine the occurrence of antibodies against T. gondii in dogs of the communities on the Cuiabá River, Mato Grosso and variables associated with infection. The dogs of the riverside communities in Cuiabá River, which includes Barranco Alto, Praia do Poço, Engenho Velho, Varginha, Bom Sucesso, Passagem da Conceição and São Gonçalo Beira Rio, were evaluated for the presence of T. gondii antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT). The prevalence and factors associated with infection were calculated by chi-squared test (χ2) or Fisher’s exact test, and univariate and multiple analysis. Of the 248 dogs surveyed, 107 (43.1%) were seropositive for T. gondii. The seroprevalence ranged from 25.6% to 64.3%. There was no statistically significant difference between the communities studied (p > 0.05). As for the associated factors, the only statistically significant factor was that of dogs living with cats (p = 0.02), with approximately twice the risk of acquiring infection. In conclusion, the seroprevalence in dogs of riverside communities in the Baixada Cuiabana demonstrated that high rates of infection, being the factor associated with infection, contact with domestic cats.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the perception of the routines of women who live in Amazon riverside communities, identifying the roles and activities related to domestic work, açaí gathering and actions in community associations. The participants were three women from two island communities in Belem, Ilha Grande and Combu, who earn their living solely from açaí gathering, work at home and in community associations. The instruments used were the sociodemographic schedule (ISD), the Inventory of Routine (IR) and Field Diary (DC). All activities are defined by gender. Although riparian women follow the rigid family concepts of gender division in regards to labor, the participation women in paid professional activities, in this case, açaí gathering, has increased. The woman’s place in riparian family structure is considered dynamic and encompasses a cluster of systems that maintain interdependent relationships. In this sense, the context acts as a facilitator for development, producing constancy and change in the characteristics of riverside women and during the course of her life, family and community.

Abstract:

e13573 Background: Breast cancer still represents the most common tumor among women in the world and in Brazil. Screening coverage in Brazil is much lower than what is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), which makes it difficult to perform an early diagnosis. Thus, the current work aims to carry out mammographic screening and the socio-epidemiological profile of Amerindian riverside women in the Amazon region. Methods: This study is characterized as sectional and the sample consists of 260 female patients, living riverside, from the communities of the Amazon Forest, Xingu and Tapajos rivers, interviewed after the mammography screening in a task force promoted by the Brazilian Navy. Results: The median patients age was 49 years (p25-75: 45-58), menarche was around 13 years (p25-75: 12-14), menopause was 48 years (p25-75: 43-50) and the median of pregnancies was four (p25-75: 2-6). Most patients were classified as BIRADS 1 (41.32%), 4 of the 8 suspected and highly suspected cases were confirmed as breast cancer, and these patients had no complaints (82.98%), did not use therapy hormonal (97.15%), and did not use oral contraceptives (60.57%) and breastfed during pregnancy (97.52%). Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of protective factors against cancer, related to lifestyle and local culture. However, these communities have minimal access to health services, which demonstrates actual need of public policies to assist Amerindian riverside women, in order to promote better health care and, thus, reduce one of the most prevalent diseases in the Amazon region.

Abstract:

AbstractRapid habitat conversion, hunting as a retaliatory response to livestock depredation and, potentially, lack of knowledge regarding the species’ ecological role are the main factors influencing conservation of the Near Threatened jaguar Panthera onca in the Pantanal wetland of Brazil. Investigation of people's perceptions and attitudes towards a species is an important element of conservation initiatives but most information concerning human perceptions of jaguars in the Pantanal comes from conflict with ranchers, who typically perceive this species negatively as a result of economic losses. No information is available concerning perceptions of the jaguar by other inhabitants, particularly along riversides where the main activity is professional and recreational fishing. We used semi-structured questionnaires to interview 50 riverside inhabitants on how they perceive the jaguar and to investigate the influence of education and age on such perceptions compared to local people from rural properties in the Pantanal and other Brazilian biomes. ‘Dangerous’ was the predominant perception. We found that the negative perceptions of jaguars related to people's safety and not to economic losses from livestock depredation. We highlight environmental education programmes, ecotourism and better strategies to reduce livestock losses as useful tools for minimizing the perception that jaguars are dangerous in all situations.

The Dendê River in Barcarena-Pará is part of this scenario. This river is the scene of conflicts of interest between transnational corporations, the state and riverside communities. From documentary study and participant observation, we analyze these conflicts, situating them in a historical-interpretative panorama, focusing on the role of the state and the r-existence of riverside communities. The state apparatus is presented through the action of the Company of Economic Development, the State Secretariat ofEnvironment and Sustainability and the Public Prosecutor. The voice of the communities serves as a counterpart. It can be concluded that state support is fundamental for the advancement of capital over the Dendê hydroterritory, impoverishing it and transforming the way of life of the riverside communities.Keywords: Socioenvironmental conflict.

Abstract:

The environmental conditions of Code River were strongly influenced by anthropogenic activities that include industry, hospitals, domestic, and agriculture. The contamination status on the Code River according to BLH Yogyakarta reported in 2014 was heavily polluted based on STORET (≤-31). The riverside community were misusing the river for final disposal site, potentially contaminating it with lead (Pb). Local communities were potentially exposed to Pb toxicity through well water consumption. An Environmental Health Risk Assessment (EHRA) study of ingestion exposure of heavy metals was never conducted in the Code Riverside, making it interesting for further studies. The study aimed to determine human health risks of consumption of well water containing Pb in Code Riverside, Yogyakarta City using an observational design with an Environmental Health Risk Assessment approach. There were 9 environmental samples and 47 respondents selected based on certain criteria. Data was collected through environmental inspection and human health assessment, interviews and anthropometric data measurement of respondents. Data was analyzed by univariate (frequency distribution) and EHRA methods. The result showed that the noncarcinogenic risk level of Pb due to well water consumption from majority of research sites have RQ value (Risk Quotient) > 1, which means high potential risk to human health.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the potential occurrence of stunting for residents who live on the river side, especially residents who live and inhabit the Kahayan River. And the subject is women who are pregnant, have a toddler. The study was conducted with a qualitative method, a descriptive approach used to explain stunting potential for people who live on riverside. This study uses purposive sampling, data collection techniques used: interviews, observation and documentation. The findings of this study are the environmental health conditions of people who live on riverside are very bad, if it refers to WHO standards, because there are no adequate sanitation facilities related to water management and disposal of solid and liquid waste, plus the habits of people who still throw garbage directly into the river. Environmental health in the community should be improved through collaboration of various institutions, in process to change the behavior patterns of disposing of garbage in the river. Second Findings the potential for stunting in the riverside communities is quite large, because the majority of peoples doesn’t count nutritional content in food, so awareness and empowerment should be done. So that in the future there will be an increase in the quality of health of children, mothers and adolescents.

Abstract:

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall and type-specific prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among females living in riverside communities in the state of Pará, in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon. These communities are inhabited by low-income people, and are accessible only by small boats. Cervical cytology and risk factors for HPV infection were also assessed. Methods Cervical samples from 353 women of selected communities were collected both for Papanicolau (Pap) test and HPV detection. Conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR were used to assess the overall and type-specific prevalence of HPV-16 and HPV-18, the main oncogenic types worldwide. Epidemiological questionnaires were used for the assessment of the risk factors for HPV infection. Results The mean age of the participants was 37 years (standard deviation [SD] ± 13.7). Most were married or with a fixed sexual partner (79%), and had a low educational level (80%) and family monthly income (< U$ 250; 53%). Overall, HPV prevalence was 16.4% (n = 58), with 8 cases of HPV-16 (2.3%) and 5 of HPV-18 (1.4%). Almost 70% of the women surveyed had never undergone the Pap test. Abnormal cytology results were found in 27.5% (n = 97) of the samples, with higher rates of HPV infection according to the severity of the lesions (p = 0.026). Conclusions The infections by HPV-16 and HPV-18 were not predominant in our study, despite the high prevalence of overall HPV infection. Nevertheless, the oncogenic potential of these types and the low coverage of the Pap test among women from riverside communities demonstrate a potential risk for the development of cervical lesions and their progression to cervical cancer, since the access to these communities is difficult and, in most cases, these women do not have access to primary care and public health services.

Abstract:

Urbanization is one of the most important global trends which causes habitat reduction and alteration which are, in turn, the main reasons for the well-documented reduction in structural and functional diversity in urbanized environments. In contrast, effects on ecological mechanisms are less known. Predation is one of the most important ecological functions because of its community-structuring effects. We studied six forest habitats along a riverside urbanization gradient in Szeged, a major city in southern Hungary, crossed by the river Tisza, to describe how extreme events (e.g., floods) as primary selective pressure act on adaptation in riparian habitats. We found a generally decreasing predation pressure from rural to urban habitats as predicted by the increasing disturbance hypothesis (higher predator abundances in rural than in urban habitats). The only predators that reacted differently to urbanization were ground active arthropods, where results conformed to the prediction of the intermediate disturbance hypothesis (higher abundance in moderately disturbed suburban habitats). We did not find any evidence that communities exposed to extreme flood events were preadapted to the effects of urbanization. The probable reason is that changes accompanied by urbanization are much faster than natural landscape change, so the communities cannot adapt to them.

Abstract:

Desert environments are sensitive to disturbances, and their functions and processes can take many years to recover. Detecting early signs of disturbance is critical, but developing such a capability for expansive remote desert regions is challenging. Using a variogram and 15-cm resolution Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index (VARI) imagery, we examined the usefulness of the spatial structure of desert lands for monitoring early signs of habitat changes using the Riverside East solar energy zone located within Riverside County, California. We tested the method on four habitat types in the region, Parkinsonia florida–Olneya tesota, Chorizanthe rigida–Geraea canescens, Larrea tridentata–Ambrosia dumosa, and Larrea tridentata–Encelia farinosa alliances. The results showed that the sill, range, form, and partial sill of the variogram generated from VARI strongly correlate with overall vegetation cover, average canopy size, canopy size variation, and spatial structure within a dryland habitat, respectively. Establishing a baseline of variogram parameters for each habitat and comparing to subsequent monitoring parameters would be most effective for detecting internal changes because values of variogram parameters would not match absolute values of landscape properties. When monitoring habitats across varying landscape characteristics, a single appropriate image resolution would likely be the resolution that could adequately characterize the habitat dominated by the smallest vegetation. For the variogram generated from VARI, which correlates to vegetation greenness, the sills may indicate the health of vegetation communities. However, further studies are warranted to determine the effectiveness of variograms for monitoring habitat health. Remotely sensed landscape structure obtained from variograms could provide complementary information to traditional methods for monitoring internal changes in dryland vegetation communities.

Abstract:

Mercury and Lead concentrations obtained by ICP-OAS analysis of human hair from riverside communities along the Orinoco river in the Amazon state (Venezuela) were compared with those from Caracas, Venezuela. Taking into account the characteristics of these two environments and the values of the average concentrations of Mercury and Lead, baselines were established suggesting that gold mining activity near the Orinoco river is responsible for the high levels of Mercury in hair from the Amazon state, whereas automobile activity is responsible for high levels of Lead in hair in Caracas.

Abstract:

This quantitative study using a survey method aims to understand the relationship between flood disaster risk perception and the sense of place of people living in communities along a river. The survey covered a non-probability sample of 120 respondents from households located along with the downstream, midstream, and upstream sections of the Ocoy River in Negros Oriental. Generally, the respondents have very high flood disaster risk perception and sense of place scores which do not significantly differ across communities. But the significant positive relationship between these two major variables contradicts the common understanding that disaster makes people devalue particular places and relocate to safer areas. The majority who conditionally agreed to relocate may not proceed if they perceived a more difficult life in the resettlement site. Adaptive resettlement programs and policies are recommended where the desired characteristics of a place of flood survivors are reconstructed. At the same time, risk reduction and mitigation mechanisms are designed for those who decided to remain in riverside communities.

Abstract:

In the Brazilian territory, as well as in the territories of Latin American countries (although it has greater ethnic and cultural diversity than other countries), it has in its history a trajectory in the formation of the Brazilian people who carry the presence of diversity in their company. In Brazil, indigenous people reach more than 300 ethnic groups, as native peoples and other groups of individuals generally limited as traditional communities, among them quilombolas, fishermen, riverside dwellers, caiçaras, babassu coconut breakers, communities grazing land, rubber tapper communities and the farmers. The identification of the breeding community has been sculpted over the course of centuries, passing from generation to generation, being the object of research of some scientific research works by universities and research groups in graduate programs. This work brings results of academic works concluded and that understand as a problem: “having its specific tradition and culture, but being in different regions, how can a traditional community of farmers be established?”. The work describes the identity of traditional breeder communities and mentions the existence of these communities in territories in other regions of Brazil.

Abstract:

AbstractApproaches to community-based natural resource management tend to vary among programmes based on the needs and characteristics of the communities in which the programmes operate. Variation also exists within individual programmes, creating the potential for conflict if management does not recognize that these differences can indicate competing interests and needs. In this study we examine livelihood activities at the household level in a wildlife conservancy along the Kwando River in the Caprivi region of Namibia. We ask how people in the conservancy make their livelihoods and what differences exist between the conservancy’s riverside and inland populations. The study finds that the inland population, c. 20 km from the river on slightly heavier soils, engages in fewer livelihood activities and has greater food security than does the riverside population. We further establish that differences between the two populations are significant enough to indicate two distinct combinations of livelihood activities with different environmental interactions. These findings suggest that any management action taken by the conservancy will affect household livelihoods differently based on location and that these differences must be considered if the conservancy is to make a successful transition from a subsistence-based agricultural system to a wildlife-based economy.

Abstract:

AbstractThe headwaters of the Río Pilcomayo drain the Cerro Rico de Potosí precious metal-polymetallic tin deposits of southern Bolivia. Mining of these deposits has taken place for around 500 years, leading to severe contamination of the Pilcomayo's waters and sediments for at least 200 km downstream. Communities living downstream of the mines and processing mills rely on the river water for irrigation, washing and occasionally, cooking and drinking, although most communities take their drinking water from springs located in the mountains above their village. This investigation focuses on arsenic exposure in people living in riverside communities up to 150 km downstream of the source. Sampling took place in April–May 2003 (dry season) and was repeated in January–March 2004 (wet season) in five communities: El Molino, Tasapampa, Tuero Chico, Sotomayor and Cota. Cota was the control in 2003 and again in 2004; a nearby city, Sucre, and several locations in the UK were also used as controls in 2004. Drinking, irrigation and river waters, hair and urine samples were collected in each community, digested where appropriate and analysed for As using ICP-MS. Arsenic concentrations in drinking waters ranged 0.2–112 μg 1–1, irrigation water 0.6–329 μg 1–1, river waters 0.9–12,800 μg 1–1, hair 37–2110 μg kg–1 and urine 11–891 μg 1–1. All but one drinking water sample was found to contain As below the World Health Organization recommended guideline of 10 μg 1–1, although a number of irrigation and river water concentrations were above Canadian and Bolivian guidelines. Many As concentrations in the hair and urine samples from this study exceeded published values for non-occupationally exposed subjects. Analysis of mean concentration values for all media types showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the control locations and the communities exposed to known As contamination, suggesting that the source of As may not be mining-related. Arsenic concentration appears to increase as a function of age in hair samples from males and females older than 30 years. Male volunteers over the age of 35 showed increasing urine-As concentrations as a function of age, whereas the opposite was true for the females.

Abstract. Indoor and outdoor water soluble trace elements (TEs) were analyzed on quasi-ultrafine (UF), accumulation, and coarse PM filter samples collected at four retirement communities, three located in the San Gabriel Valley and one in Riverside, CA. Our analysis indicates that a complex mix of vehicular, industrial, and soil-related emissions was responsible for the elemental concentrations measured at the three San Gabriel sites, while regional transport, soil re-suspension and, to a lower degree, local traffic contributed to TE levels observed in Riverside. In the quasi-UF mode, the magnitude of indoor/outdoor concentration ratios (I/O) for elements of anthropogenic origin was highly variable, reflecting the spatial heterogeneity of combustion sources in the study area. Indoor/outdoor ratios in accumulation mode PM were closer to 1, and more homogeneous across sites, indicating that elements associated with this size fraction penetrate indoors with high efficiencies. The lowest overall I/O ratios were obtained for elements found in coarse particles, consistent with the fact that only a small portion of coarse outdoor PM infiltrates indoors. The potential of S and other TEs to serve as tracers of indoor-penetrated particles of outdoor origin was also examined. Our results suggest that using the I/O ratio of S (I/OS) as a surrogate of the infiltration factor for PM2.5 [Finf(PM2.5)] might lead to an overestimation of the indoor PM2.5 originating outdoors. This is in contrast with what was reported in previous studies conducted in the Eastern US, where S has been consistently used as a reliable tracer of outdoor PM2.5 infiltrating indoors. Our differences may be due to the fact that in the Los Angeles basin (and in general in the Western US) PM2.5 includes a number of semi-volatile labile species, such as ammonium nitrate and several organic compounds, which volatilize either entirely or to a substantial degree upon building entry.

Abstract:

 The riverside communities devised a community-based program to negotiate with the local government to avoid eviction. As an intervention package,-which aims to upgrade the living environment and increase the residents’ pro-environmental behaviour-, this program consists of organization and information, combined with social interaction, commitment and feedback performance. Intensive observations were used to examine the effectiveness of the program to environmental behaviour change and upgrading settlement. The findings reveal that having a common objective of renovation is the most influential variable in motivating individuals to increase environmentally friendly behaviour on the upgrading environment. Keywords: behavior change, community-based, social interaction © 2017.

Abstract:

A transit trip involves travel to and from transit stops or stations. The quality of what are commonly known as first and last mile connections (regardless of their length) can have an important impact on transit ridership. Transit agencies throughout the world are developing innovative approaches to improving first and last mile connections, for example, by partnering with ride-hailing and other emerging mobility services. A small but growing number of transit agencies in the U.S. have adopted first and last mile (FLM) plans with the goal of increasing ridership. As this is a relatively new practice by transit agencies, a review of these plans can inform other transit agencies and assist them in preparing their own. Four FLM plans were selected from diverse geographic contexts for review: Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro), Riverside (CA) Transit Agency (RTA), and Denver Regional Transit District (RTD), and City of Richmond, CA. Based on the literature, we developed a framework with an emphasis on transportation equity to examine these plans. We identified five common approaches to addressing the FLM issue: spatial gap analysis with a focus on socio-demographics and locational characteristics, incorporation of emerging mobility services, innovative funding approaches for plan implementation, equity and transportation remedies for marginalized communities, and development of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructures surrounding transit stations. Strategies in three of the plans are aligned with regional goals for emissions reductions. LA Metro and Riverside Transit incorporate detailed design guidelines for the improvement of transit stations. As these plans are still relatively new, it will take time to evaluate their impact on ridership and their communities’ overall transit experience.

Abstract:

The development of the Musi River edge house was influenced by the role of the river. The form of a house on the banks of the Musi river is a riverbank house and a stilt house. The choice to build a stilt house is inseparable from the land conditions in South Sumatra, which are generally wetlands. The level/height of the stage of the riverbank house is influenced by the condition of the house in the settlement layer, given the higher volume of water due to the denser density of the riverside houses. The high pole of the house is a form of adaptation to the high volume/tide of river water in the rainy season. One form of vernacular architecture on the banks of the Musi River is a sustainable home in the face of climate and weather in Palembang. The house on stilts or pillar houses is a sustainable alternative to the Musi Palembang riverbank community. The purpose of this study was to determine the trend of the adaptation of the stage floor height to the volume of water at the tidal currents of the Palembang Musi River. In achieving this goal, a study was conducted to identify architectural traces, explore activities and ideas of the Musi coastal communities. Data collection is done through field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. Analysis was carried out qualitatively on variables, process characteristics, and products from identification of riverbank settlements. The results show that most of the houses on the banks of the river experience physical changes in buildings, both in terms of functions and building materials. Changes in the constituent elements of the house from wood material to permanent material occurred in most of the stilt houses on the Musi riverside settlement, resulting in riverside houses characterized by land houses.

Abstract:

The Acai, a fruit of the Acai tree (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), is one of the main foods consumed by the riverside communities in the Brazilian Amazon. In addition, it has become the main source of income of these small producers as its consumption has widely expanded since the 1990s due to the recognition of its properties as an energetic and functional food. In order to analyze the production system and the socioeconomic changes that occurred in rural communities whose economical support is from the management of the Acai tree, a case study was carried out in two communities on the island of Mamangal, in the municipality of Igarap&eacute;-Miri, in the state of Par&aacute;, Brazilian Amazon. Fifty-two semistructured questionnaires were applied to the Acai farming families in these communities located in the municipality in the largest Brazilian producer of this fruit. The main transformations observed in the assessed communities, especially since the last decade, were influenced by the access to electric energy and the expansion of income from the Acai that made possible the expansion of the acquisition of durable consumer goods that even contributed to diversifying the diet of those farmers. Some of the difficulties faced by Acai production are the lack of technical assistance and rural extension services as well in addition to the strong dependence of the communities on the income generated by the Acai.

Abstract:

This study aimed to analyze the water quality of a river in the Eastern Amazon and relate the results obtained with the lack of basic sanitation in the region. Two samples were collected from strategic points of the river and were submitted to the collimetry technique with multiple tubes to calculate the most probable number (MPN) of thermotolerant coliforms present in the water. The samples were then seeded on CLED and Hektoen agar and analyzed in a mass spectrophotometer for final identification of microorganisms. A high number of thermotolerant coliforms was detected, in addition to bacteria of clinical importance, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella spp. and Cronobacter sakazakii. The lack of basic sanitation in the community surrounding the river is the main cause for the significant number of thermotolerant coliforms, demonstrated by the discrepancy in the MPN between samples 1 and 2. The difficulties in guaranteeing basic sanitation in the Amazon are highlighted and the need to implement public policies and carry out health surveillance studies in these populations is reinforced.

Abstract:

it is proposed to discuss the relationship of the artifacts made by the riverside of the Mapuá river with the way of life of these peoples. Mapuá is one of the most extensive rivers in the municipality of Breves, archipelago of Marajó (PA). Along its length are its communities, formed by families, living in isolated houses and grouped in villages. Accompanying the dynamics of these communities, I mapped different artifacts produced by ribeirinhos with materials taken from the forest and used in various ways in everyday life. With a methodological combination involving the bibliographical survey and the field research, I show that the set of artifacts produced by the riverside mediate their relationship with the environment, with each other, with others and with materiality. They are artifacts that form their material and archaeological patrimony, a concept that contributes to demonstrate that the form of appropriation of this category can not do without the way of life of the traditional populations in the contemporary world.  Os “Artefatos” dos ribeirinhos do Rio Mapuá, Marajó-PA, Brasil  Propõe-se discutir a relação dos artefatos – objetos artesanais – confeccionados pelos ribeirinhos do rio Mapuá, com o modo de vida desses povos. O Mapuá é um dos rios mais extensos do município de Breves, arquipélago de Marajó, Estado do Pará. Ao longo de sua extensão encontram-se suas comunidades, formadas por famílias que moram em casas isoladas e agrupadas em vilas. Acompanhando a dinâmica dessas famílias, mapeei diferentes artefatos por elas construídos a partir de produtos retirados da floresta e utilizados de várias formas na vida cotidiana. São objetos que para elas formam seu patrimônio material e caracterizam-se como estratégias do saber-fazer e das relações estabelecidas com o meio ambiente amazônico. Neste texto trabalho com uma combinação metodológica que envolve a análise qualitativa do levantamento bibliográfico e da pesquisa de campo, com foco para a fotografia, observação e entrevistas com interlocutores envolvidos com a temática investigada.
