Ecological guilds have been widely applied for understanding the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems. This study describes the composition and the spatio-temporal changes in the structure of the fish fauna and the movements between the estuary and the coast of a tropical estuary, the Itapissuma/Itamaracá Complex (IIC) in northeastern Brazil. Fish specimens were collected during the dry and rainy seasons in 2013 and 2014. A total of 141 species of 34 families were recorded. Almost half of the species (66 species, 47%) were exclusive to the estuary and 50 species (35%) to the coast; 25 (18%) were common to both environments. Marine species were dominant in both richness and biomass as they explore the environment during part of their life cycle, whereas estuarine species were dominant in abundance. Marine stragglers displayed a higher richness, abundance and biomass in the coastal waters. The estuarine environment was dominated by zoobenthivores in terms of richness, while detritivores prevailed in abundance and biomass. Zoobenthivores had the highest richness and abundance in coastal waters, while piscivores had the highest biomass. The IIC supports a rich fauna with a diverse trophic structure and is an important feeding and development area for migratory species.

O perfil construtivo de três fortificações da antiga Capitania de Pernambuco nas primeiras décadas do século XVII, período anterior à ocupação holandesa, revelou, através de dois remanescentes (Forte de São Francisco da Barra, de 1606, e Forte de São Francisco de Olinda, de 1620) e de iconografias (Forte de São Jorge, de 1590), que essas construções foram influenciadas por modelos descritos em tratados de fortificação europeus da época. Além do mais as adaptações à realidade de material, mão de obra, recursos e postura colonizadora impuseram certas restrições e adaptações. Identificar essas transformações foi o objetivo principal desta pesquisa. CONSTRUCTIVE PROFILE OF PORTUGUESE FORTIFICATIONS IN CAPITANIA OF PERNAMBUCO FROM 1630 TO 1654: Dutch occupation period ABSTRACT The constructive profile of three fortifications of the Captaincy of Pernambuco in the first decades of the 17th Century, before the Dutch occupation, revealed, through two remnants (Forte de São Francisco da Barra, 1606, and Fort de São Francisco de Olinda, 1620) and of iconographies (Fort de São Jorge, 1590), that these constructions were influenced by models described in European fortification treaties. Moreover, adaptations to the reality of material, labor, resources and colonizing posture have imposed certain restrictions and adaptations. Identifying these transformations was the main objective of this research. Keywords: Fortifications, 17th century, Pernambuco.

Wissadula hernandioides (L’Hér.) Garcke is native to Brazil and can be identified by its subshrub habit, cordate and discolor leaves with usually stellate trichomes, yellowish flowers arranged in paniculate inflorescences, and schizocarpic fruits. Before our finding, this species was recorded in Brazil only in Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Amazon and Pantanal vegetation. The population found in Caatinga domain and Pernambuco state expands the distribution of W. hernandioides. A morphological description, habitat, and the current geographic distribution, as well as original drawing are provided.

Este texto analisa a origem do Centro de Educação Rural Clementino Coelho, no Município de Petrolina, Estado de Pernambuco, no período entre 1977 e 1984, no contexto do Sistema Integrado de Educação Rural concebido pelo Instituto Interamerciano de Cooperação Agrícola. A delimitação temporal compreende a data de início do funcionamento da escola e da alteração curricular que retirou o ensino das técnicas agrícolas nas turmas de 1º grau. Quanto aos aspectos teórico-metodológicos, a pesquisa é de cunho histórico e documental. Entre as fontes selecionadas para o estudo, destaca-se um conjunto de documentos, entre os quais: planta arquitetônica, cadernos de professores, livro de cadastro das unidades escolares de Pernambuco, periódicos da Secretaria da Educação e relatórios do Instituto Interamericano de Cooperação Agrícola (IICA). Além das fontes mencionadas, a pesquisa se valeu da metodologia da História Oral, por meio de entrevistas gravadas, uma vez que a história oral recupera e dá vida ao que não está exposto no documento escrito. Foram selecionados uma ex-professora e três ex-estudantes, utilizando como critérios o tempo de atuação na instituição, bem como o período de estudo, no caso dos ex-estudantes. A análise dos documentos, entrecruzada com as fontes orais, permitiu observar a abrangência do Sistema Integrado de Educação Rural (SIER) no estado pernambucano e evidenciou a baixa adesão do CERU Clementino Coelho aos eixos norteadores do programa. Por fim, o estudo aponta para a necessidade de investigações mais aprofundadas sobre o papel desempenhado pelo SIER na criação dos Centros de Educação Rural no Estado de Pernambuco.

Abstract The composition of macro endoparasites associated with the lizard Norops fuscoauratus (Squamata) was analysed in two localities in the Atlantic Forest on the northeast of Brazil between December 2012 and July 2015. 74 specimens of N. fuscoauratus were examined and five species of helminths were reported, being: (a) for the population of Pernambuco: Cystacanth (Prevalence=37.5%), Physaloptera retusa Rudolphi, 1819 (Prevalence=4.16%), larva of flatworm (Prevalence=2.08%), Rhabdias sp. (Prevalence=2.08%) and Strongyluris oscari Travassos, 1923 (Prevalence=2.08%), and (b) of Alagoas: S. oscari (Prevalence=17.85%) and Rhabdias sp. (Prevalence=3.57%). The differences in the composition of endoparasites in the two populations are attributed to individualities of environments occupied by the lizards. The collection period does not influence the abundance of parasites, but when associated with sex, there was a positive correlation with the abundance of helminths, with more females than males being infected with parasites in the rainy season.

The aim of this article is to evaluate how the State of Pernambuco, Brazil, through its public policies, has responded to the COVID-19 pandemic concerning the tourism sector. Therefore, the study presents an overview of the impacts caused by the pandemic, considering the first semester of 2020, on public accounts, air traffic, accommodation and employability, based on transparency websites and other open information provided by federal and state governments. The creation of the Northeast Scientific Committee and its recommendations on pandemic response are analysed in order to establish the adoption (or not) of such guidelines for the achievement of state decrees aimed at combating the pandemic. It is intended to highlight how the state of Pernambuco seeks to manage the crisis by weighing both sides of the scale: The Consortium's recommendations and sector's pressure to reopen through the interviews with the Secretariat of Tourism, on the one hand, and with people linked to the tourist trade on the other, reveal such impasse. Lastly, the article concludes by pointing out that, as far as possible, Pernambuco has faced the crisis positively, including welcoming the tourism sector, making efforts to provide alternatives within the presented scenario.

Species in the Adelophryne genus consist of diminutive, agile, and secretive frogs that inhabit forest leaf litter and have direct development. Species richness within Adelophryne was previously underestimated, and several new species have recently been described. Here, we describe a new species of Adelophryne from the Atlantic Forest in the Brazilian states of Alagoas, Pernambuco, and Paraíba. The new species is characterized by its small body size, small and distinct tympanum, toes with subarticular tubercles, fingers mucronate, three phalanges in the Finger IV, and an advertisement call composed of one single pulsed note with a high dominant frequency. The new species is phylogenetically related to other Adelophryne species of the Northern Atlantic Forest Clade and is endemic to the "Pernambuco Endemism Center" in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: The association of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a concern worldwide, and this co-infection is linked to increased lethality. The Northeast is the region that mostly reports cases of VL in Brazil. The knowledge of risk factors associated with VL/HIV co-infection and its impact on lethality is extremely important. METHODS: The present study analyzed the epidemiologic features of cases with VL/HIV co-infection in the state of Pernambuco, Northeast of Brazil, from 2014 to 2018. RESULTS: There were 858 and 11,514 reported cases of VL and HIV infection, respectively. The average incidences of VL and HIV infection were 1.82 and 24.4/100,000 inhabitants, respectively. Of all reported cases of VL, 4.9% (42/858) also had HIV infection. There was an inverse spatial association between VL and HIV infection incidences. The lethality rates of VL, HIV infection, and co-infection were 9.9%, 26.1%, and 16.6%, respectively. Most of the patients were males and lived in urban areas. The cases of VL mostly occurred in children aged below 10 years, whereas the cases of HIV infection and VL/HIV co-infection were primarily observed in adults between 20 years and 39 years old. CONCLUSIONS: We defined the profile and areas with most cases of co-infection and found that the lethality of VL with co-infection increased in the current period. These findings contribute to applying efforts with a greater focus in these identified populations to prevent future deaths.

O artigo procura demonstrar a existência de hierarquias mercantis no comércio entre Portugal e Brasil no último quartel do século XVIII. Propõe, necessariamente, uma visão alternativa a interpretações horizontais entre os atores engajados em tal circuito, sugerindo, pelo contrário, um olhar mais verticalizado das relações comerciais. Por meio da análise de mais de noventa contratos de sociedades mercantis, registrados nos cartórios de Lisboa, foi possível constatar que a maior parte dos capitais para o trato com a capitania de Pernambuco provinha de mercadores residentes em Lisboa. Ademais, os contratos são claros em favorecerem os metropolitanos ao estipularem diversas regras que cerceavam a margem de manobra dos sócios residentes em Pernambuco. Conclui-se, portanto, que existia uma centralização de capitais nas mãos dos sócios metropolitanos e que os lisboetas estipulavam as principais regras mercantis que os coloniais deveriam seguir.

RESUMO O artigo aborda a trajetória política de um dos principais líderes do Partido Conservador de Pernambuco, Pedro Francisco de Paula Cavalcanti de Albuquerque (visconde de Camaragibe), procurando, em diálogo com a historiografia, verificar quais as estratégias e redes sociais que ele teceu para galgar sua carreira pública. Destaca-se nessa trajetória a sua condição de chefe de partido, que fez dele um mediador fundamental nas relações travadas entre o governo central e o seu partido, em Pernambuco. A observação das diversas funções e obrigações que lhe cabiam como líder partidário, tais como a definição da chapa do seu partido e a orientação de sua bancada na Corte nas votações importantes das reformas, também merece relevo nesse trabalho. Suas conclusões indicam que o cargo mais expressivo ocupado pelo visconde de Camaragibe não foi o de deputado geral e nem o de senador, mas sim o de chefe dos conservadores de sua província.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo principal discutir as relações estabelecidas entre os frontispícios e as intencionalidades dos livros nos quais foram impressos, nas obras Nova Lusitânia (1675), de Francisco de Brito Freyre, e Rerum per Octennium in Brasilia (1647), de Gaspar van Baerle. Abordamos estes frontispícios contando com a identificação dos atributos, dos personagens e dos espaços representados pelos gravadores de tais imagens, assim como seus conteúdos textuais. Tomando como ponto de partida os aspectos imagéticos presentes nas folhas de rosto dos livros mencionados, buscamos traçar os padrões de intencionalidade presentes nos livros enquanto discursos políticos. Discute-se como Van Baerle acessa os símbolos a sua disposição para enaltecer os feitos do Conde de Nassau em Pernambuco, da mesma forma que Brito Freyre opera com referências clássicas e constrói uma narrativa heroica de sua própria experiência contra o domínio holandês na América portuguesa.

O presente artigo analisa a presença dos cristãos-novos na Capitania de Pernambuco ao longo do século XVI. A partir das denunciações que resultaram da Primeira Visitação da Inquisição ao Brasil, e a presença do visitador na Capitania supracitada, entre os anos de 1593 a 1595, procura-se perceber como se davam os olhares de vigilância sobre os cristãos-novos por parte da população de cristãos-velhos, desde antes da chegada do representante do tribunal por essas terras. Mesmo que as relações fossem construídas de forma mais branda na América portuguesa, em comparação com as pressões sofridas pelos cristãos-novos em Portugal, ainda assim, a vigilância estava presente no cotidiano dessas relações. This article analyzes the presence of the New Christians in the Captaincy of Pernambuco during the 16th century. From the denunciations that resulted from the First Visitation of the Inquisition to Brazil, and the presence of the visitor in the aforementioned Captaincy, between the years of 1593 and 1595, one tries to perceive how the surveillance looks on the new Christians by the population of old Christians, since before the arrival of the representative of the court for these lands. Even if relations were built more soft in Portuguese America, compared to the pressures suffered by New Christians in Portugal, surveillance was still present in the daily life of these relations.

O presente artigo está fundamentado em pesquisa histórica e sociológica que realizamos durante o doutoramento em História Social das Relações Políticas. O principal desafio de nosso tema consiste no estudo histórico sobre a confluência entre cultura religiosa e cultura política no Nordeste brasileiro, especificamente, em Pernambuco: um dos maiores centros de atuação do movimento de Reação Católica no Brasil. Pesquisamos conflitos políticos e religiosos entre Jansenistas, Maçons e Jesuítas pela hegemonia no campo educacional no Nordeste, nas primeiras décadas do século XX, entre 1910 e 1930. Desta feita, destacamos os efeitos políticos da disputa de campo no catolicismo ilustrado e na produção intelectual do professor Alfredo Freyre, pai do escritor e cientista social brasileiro Gilberto Freyre, bem como a ação da Igreja Romana junto às famílias católicas tradicionais na região.

O presente artigo analisa a governança eleitoral e o rompimento do domínio da mais poderosa oligarquia de Pernambuco na Primeira República. Na historiografia nacional foi solidificada a interpretação de que, entre 1889 e 1930, as oligarquias regionais eram mantidas no poder pela prática da fraude, o controle sobre o voto do eleitor e a hegemonia política dos partidos republicanos. Neste trabalho ratificamos tal percepção evidenciando a escolha do Congresso Federal em recusar a judicialização como tentativa para legitimar o ritual eleitoral. Deste modo, nem mesmo a inédita participação ativa de eleitores e marginalizados do direito do voto na eleição pernambucana de 1911, que resultou na queda da oligarquia Rosa e Silva, foi capaz de prover a reconfiguração necessária no sistema representativo do novo regime. The present article analyses the electoral governance and the breking of Pernambuco’s First Republic most powerful oligarchy domain. In the national historiography the interpretation was solidified that, between 1889 and 1930, the regional oligarchies were kept in power by the fraud pratice, the control over the electors vote and the political hegemony of the republican parties. In this work we confirm this perception evidencing the Federal Congress choice in refusing the judicialization as an attempt to legitimize the electoral ritual. In this way, not even the unpublished active participation of electors and the excluded from voting rights in Pernambuco’s election of 1911, which resulted in the fall of Rosa e Silva oligarchy. It was able to provide the necessary reconfiguration in representative system of the new political regime.

Este artigo tem como objetivo verificar quais as competências atribuídas ao Controller no setor público. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto foi aplicado um questionário (disponibilizado via e-mail ou whatsapp) com os profissionais atuantes nos principais órgãos públicos de controladoria do estado. O questionário foi dividido nos seguintes grupos de variáveis: perfil do Controller, competências operacionais, gerenciais e estratégicas, sendo obtidas, nessa aplicação, 52 respostas válidas. Após a análise descritiva dos dados referentes à distribuição de frequência do grupo de respondentes, foi realizado, através do teste estatístico não paramétrico Kruskal-Wallis, a verificação de relações significativas entre o perfil dos entrevistados e as competências presentes nos níveis operacionais, gerenciais e estratégicos, com margem máxima de erro de 0,05. Verificou-se, na análise de resultado, que algumas competências operacionais, gerenciais e estratégicas foram significativas a algumas variáveis de perfil do respondente, conforme detalhado na análise de resultado desse estudo e que, no tocante ao grau de concordância, os entrevistados atribuíram as competências estratégicas como as mais condizentes com o papel do Controller dentro da organização seguidas das competências gerenciais e operacionais, nesta ordem. Vale ressaltar que, sugere-se, para futuras pesquisas, a utilização de mais testes estatísticos, como a aplicação de regressões para verificar o sentido das diferenças significativas encontradas nesse estudo, além da inclusão, por exemplo, do porte do órgão estudado como fator que afete as exigências de perfil do Controller.

O sítio arqueológico Furna do Estrago vem inspirando Teses, Dissertações, artigos sem que o tema tenha sido esgotado. A produção científica sobre o sítio está concentrada em abordagens do material biológico, principalmente esqueletos humanos provenientes do cemitério. Diferentes aspectos da cultura material, das estruturas funerárias e dos níveis arqueológicos proporcionariam informações a partir de novas técnicas e métodos que ajudariam a responder as questões arqueológicas remanescentes. Sítios arqueológicos funerários são especialmente ricos em interfaces bioculturais, sendo fonte quase inesgotável de investigações. Aqui revisitamos a arqueologia da Furna através da sua produção, lembrando algumas questões em aberto que poderiam ser tema de futuros estudos. FUNERARY ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE FURNA DO ESTRAGO ABSTRACT Furna do Estrago archaeological site inspired Thesis, Dissertations and papers without being exhausted. The scientific production about that site is concentrated on biological materials, specially human skeletons from its cemetery. Different aspects of the material culture in the funerary structures and other archaeological levels could provide information based on new techniques and methods helping to answer remaining archaeological questions. Funerary archaeological sites provide rich biocultural connections so they are sources of infinite questions to be investigated. In the present paper we revisit Furna do Estrago through the related scientific production, reminding some questions still opened that could be theme for future research. Keywords: Literature review; Pernambuco; funerary archaeology.

Anthurium sterilispadix (previously A. bromelicola subsp. bahiense) is recognized as a new species, closely related to A. bromelicola and representing a third species of Araceae exhibiting commensalism with Bromeliaceae. The two species share the same highly unusual slender twining habit but differ markedly in inflorescence morphology, each exhibiting characteristics unique in the genus and suggesting divergent pollination biology. In A. sterilispadix, the spathe spreads widely without differentiation into tube and lamina, the lamina is smooth and pink adaxially showing colour changes according to the stage of anthesis and the greater part of the narrowly tapering pale yellow spadix consists of modified sterile flowers which appear to be osmophoric. In A. bromelicola the spathe has tube-blade dimorphism, is adaxially deep purple and conspicuously ribbed, the spadix is relatively stout and the flowers have black-purple tepals and are all fertile. Anatomical study of leaves and inflorescences of both species revealed unusual features for the genus, such as the presence of vascularized ribs in the A. bromelicola spathe, and sterile osmophoric regions in the A. sterilispadix spadix; these novel characters are documented and discussed for the first time here. Nomenclature, taxonomic descriptions, images, geographical and ecological notes and an identification key are presented. Both species are endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest region and are estimated to be endangered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Brazil was the most important destination for enslaved Africans forced into the Atlantic between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. While Rio de Janeiro became the country's leading slave port, the regions north of Rio were no small players in the business. This article uses the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database to analyze the evolution of the traffic to Amazonia and Northeast Brazil. It provides an assessment of its volume, orientation, and organization. Rio may have eventually dominated the traffic, but the participation of its northern neighbors laid down the foundations for this most notorious trade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an analysis of the public security policy 'Pact for Life', implemented in the state of Pernambuco in 2007. It is a multi-institutional agreement, in which each organization has its role in favor of reducing crime in the state. The paper aims to analyze the efficiency of this public policy. We examined data on intentional lethal violence crimes in Pernambuco from January to September 2019. Adopted methodology was public policy result evaluation per Brazilian Planning Ministry's Practical Guide of Ex Post Analysis. We found there was improvement for 2019, given that this kind of crime has been increasing since 2008. Other relevant information is that Sunday was usually the most violent day for the analyzed period, and that March was the most violent month and when Carnaval took place. It is important to consider that several aspects, such as economy, leisure, culture, education, health etc, in conjunction with other factors, such as Pernambuco's strong action against violence, can cause crime reduction.

This study measures the Rural Development Index (RDI) in the municipalities of Ceará and Pernambuco through factor analysis and relates this index to the agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and rural population through Pearson's correlation. This research effort is intended to clarify whether the municipalities with the highest agricultural GDPs and rural populations are associated with the highest RDI indices. It was mostly based on data from the demographic and agricultural censuses of 2010 and 2006, respectively. The results showed that rural development is marked by significant heterogeneity, as 56.36% of the 330 municipalities analyzed had a low or very low RDI index and only 4.24% of them recorded a very high RDI index. Furthermore, a strong and moderate correlation with the RDI index was recorded for the agricultural GDP and rural population variables, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artigo discute algumas das abordagens propostas sobre a questão da manutenção das forças militares, estacionadas em Pernambuco, a fim de assegurar a fidelidade da província às Cortes de Lisboa, entre 1821 e 1823. As tomadas de decisão foram marcadas por conflitos que opuseram, grosso modo, naturais de Pernambuco e portugueses. Discute, também, aspectos do posicionamento de grupos políticos pernambucanos em relação à contrarrevolução em Portugal, em 1824. O objetivo é refletir sobre a complexidade das opções políticas, na província, na conjuntura da independência do Brasil, que não se esgotam com o debate historiográfico sobre o alinhamento com Lisboa (“a outra independência”) ou com o Rio de Janeiro (“a mesma independência”). In this paper, we intend to discuss and determine some of the proposed solutions to the issue of the military forces which were maintained in Pernambuco, in order to ensure the province's loyalty to Lisbon Cortes between 1821 and 1823. The decision-making about maintaining or not military forces in Pernambuco was marked by conflicts between those inhabitants who were born in Pernambuco, Brazil, and those who had come from Portugal. This paper also seeks to identify aspects of the perspective of Pernambuco political groups in relation to the counterrevolution in Portugal, in 1824. The purpose of this study is thus to explore the complexity of the political options in that Province, in the context of Brazil's independence, which have not been exhausted by the historiographical debate on alignment either with Lisbon ("The other independence") or with Rio de Janeiro (“The same independence”).

The 19th century, Pernambuco was the third largest slaves trade plaza in Brazil. Throughout this period, more than a million slaves landed in the province. However, in the year 1831, the slave trade became illegal after passage of the anti-trafficking law in November of the same year. The Pernambuco dealers got together and managed to keep the business, forming slave trading companies, and many of these traffickers accumulated fortune from the traffic. This article will also study the main characters of this trade. Traffickers such as Gabriel José Antônio, Ângelo Francisco Carneiro, Elias Baptista da Silva, José Ramos de Oliveira will be prominent, as will other small merchants and captains of the slave ships.

Objetivou-se com este estudo determinar a prevalência de anticorpos anti-Toxoplasma gondii e analisar os fatores de riscos associados à infecção em ovinos no Agreste e Sertão do estado de Pernambuco. Para tal foram utilizadas 14 propriedades de ovinos totalizando 250 animais. Utilizou-se para a pesquisa de anticorpos anti–Toxoplasma gondii a técnica de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI), adotando-se ponto de corte de 1:64. No estudo dos fatores de risco foram aplicados questionários com perguntas objetivas sobre os aspectos do manejo higiênico-sanitário. Das 250 amostras analisadas 34 (13,60%, IC 95% - 9,61%; 18,48%) foram positivas; 71,42% (10/14) das propriedades apresentaram ao menos um animal positivo. Em relação à titulação, observou-se que das 34 amostras positivas, oito apresentaram título de 64 (23,53%); três títulos 128 (8,82%); três títulos 256 (8,82%); 13 títulos 512 (38,23%); e sete (20,60%) apresentaram título de 1024. Após regressão logística apenas a variável fornecimento de silagem (p=0,009; OR=2,79 IC 95%=1,29 - 6,0) foi confirmada como fator de risco. Conclui-se que a infecção por Toxoplasma gondii está presente nas criações de ovinos na região estudada, sendo necessário à adoção de medidas preventivas e de controle que atuem nos fatores de risco identificados neste estudo.

This article analyzes the dynamics of land granting (sesmarias) in Portuguese America by focusing on a specific case study: the lands belonging to the former and defeated communities of the Palmares maroons, in the captaincy of Pernambuco. Through the empirical data, it will point to issues regarding the changes in the sesmarias legal rules and in the practice of land appropriation in Portuguese America, from the 17th to the 18th century. The case of the Palmares hinterland sheds light on the litigation over land rights and royal favors that characterized, more generally, the relations between crown and subjects in the overseas territories. We have charted the granting of sesmarias to the “conquerors” of the Palmares maroons’ lands in two different periods (1678-1702 and 1702-1775), focusing on (1) the overlapping rights and jurisdictions of the grantees, (2) on the rhetoric used in the request letters and (3) on the plural nature of the sesmarias that emerges from this process, showing a variety of expectations and appropriations by the historical actors involved.

O acelerado processo de deterioração dos sítios achados por sua exposição a impactos naturais e antrópicos originou a necessidade de sistematizar a descoberta através de planejamento geomorfológico e cartográfico. O projeto a partir do qual se produziu este relatório teve como objetivo documentar e caracterizar de maneira mais precisa os registros rupestres descobertos, através da utilização de novos métodos de registro imagético georreferenciados, com a criação de modelos tridimensionais. Os dados obtidos estão integrados num banco de dados relacional enriquecido com os resultados da aplicação de técnicas físico-químicas e imagéticas. Um diagnóstico detalhado do estado físico do acervo gráfico disponibilizará instrumentos para o planejamento da conservação e preservação. PROFILING PREHISTORIC GRAPHIC SITES IN PERNAMBUCO, BRAZIL ABSTRACT Dentifying and characterizing prehistoric sites with paintings and rock engravings, in the State of Pernambuco is a theme researched decades ago, as new sites were discovered by chance. The accelerated process of deterioration of the sites found due to their exposure to natural and anthropic impacts led to the need to systematize the discovery through geomorphological and cartographic planning. The purpose of this project was to document and characterize the discovered cave records more precisely through the use of new georeferenced imagery registration methods with the creation of three - dimensional models. The obtained data are integrated in a relational database enriched with the results of application of physical-chemical and imagery techniques. A detailed diagnosis of the state of conservation of the graphic stock will provide an instrument for planning conservation and preservation. Keywords: Rock graphic, Pernambuco, three-dimensional models.

Este estudo se propõe a analisar – com recurso à metodologia qualitativa – algumas implicações da política pública de segurança Pacto pela Vida (PPV) promovida pelo Governo do Estado de Pernambuco, entre os anos de 2007 e 2016, verificando como foi construída esta política com a participação social desde a formulação das estratégias até sua execução. O que nos estimulou a refletir sobre esta temática foi a presença nos espaços de participação da sociedade civil organizada durante a construção do PPV. Foram considerados os casos do Fórum Pernambucano de Segurança, o Plano Estadual de Segurança Pública, Câmaras Técnicas e o Conselho Gestor. Neste trabalho, analisamos a forma de interação e negociação dos atores da sociedade civil organizada com os atores institucionais encarregados pelo desenvolvimento desta política de segurança e pela sustentabilidade social do plano. Os resultados desta pesquisa foram confrontados com quatro outras pesquisas de natureza assemelhada realizadas em Recife (Ratton, 2014, 2016); no Rio de Janeiro (Paes, 2010) e, em São Paulo (Sinhoretto, 2010). Os dados desta pesquisa foram coletados no âmbito de uma pesquisa nacional realizada em três capitais brasileiras: Recife, Belo Horizonte e São Paulo (Antunes, Sinhoretto, Ratton, 2016).

Socio-education emerged with the advent of the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA), instituted in 1990, to be applied in the execution of socio-educational measures. As its concept is something new and still under construction, its systematization becomes complex. Thus, at present study the dimensions of socio-education present are analyzed from measures carried out in the open environment in the municipality of Arcoverde, Pernambuco. The study, of deductive character, of mixed approach, is organized from the collection of documentary data, analyzed based on the technique of content analysis. The statistical data were extracted from archives of the Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance (CREAS) in the municipality of Arcoverde, Pernambuco. The results show that in the municipality mentioned, the socio-educational measures carried out in an open environment dimension the pedagogical and social character of the activities carried out, including beyond CREAS. However, the intersectoral service of the actions is still timid and needs a better systematization, so that the concept of socio-education is fully considered in the execution of such measures.

In the past decade Graphidaceae has stood out as one of the families with the highest number of newly described species in Brazil. In this paper we describe further five new species of Graphidaceae found in an enclave of humid forest (Brejo de Altitude) in the Caatinga, and in the Atlantic Forest of Northeast Brazil: Chapsa inspersa E.L.Lima & Lücking, differing from C. dissuta in the inspersed hymenium and larger ascospores with more numerous septa; Cryptoschizotrema minus E.L.Lima & Lücking, differing from C. schizotrema in the distinctly smaller ascospores; Diorygma sophianum E.L.Lima & Lücking, differing from D. junghuhnii in the laterally carbonized excipulum and the slightly larger ascospores, as well as the presence of lichexanthone; Graphis subfiliformis E.L.Lima & Lücking, differing from G. filiformis in the thick, shallowly verrucose thallus and thalline margin of the lirellae and in the larger ascospores; and Sarcographa atlantica E.L.Lima & Lücking, differing from S. astroidea (Vain.) Lücking comb. nov. in the larger ascospores with more numerous septa. We also provide a range and habitat extension for Diorygma alagoense M.Cáceres & Lücking, an enigmatic species with a peculiar chemistry of thallus and ascomata. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pathoecology studies the environmental and cultural factors that contribute to the maintenance of infections or diseases in populations. Concerning parasites, it requires the evaluation of these factors based on the presence and life cycle of these organisms. For this reason, it is possible to apply this concept in the context of ancient populations in order to understand the parasite–host dynamic or even the health consequences faced by the members of the populations. This study aimed to apply the pathoecology concept in Pedra do Tubarão and Cemitério do Caboclo archaeological sites. Six coprolite samples were analyzed and 1 was positive for Spirometra sp. eggs. Spirometra is a cestode that has copepods as the first intermediate host; amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals as the second intermediate hosts; and felines and canines as definitive hosts. Humans can be infected by ingesting the first or second intermediate hosts and can develop sparganosis, which can cause health consequences depending on the location of the spargana. The presence of this parasite, of a water fount near the site, where the first intermediate host can live, and the findings of the bones of some of the second intermediate hosts in these sites, suggesting dietary purposes, indicate that this infection was probably present in this population.

Giovanni Casaretto (1810–1879) was appointed by King Charles Albert of Savoy‐Carignano, Kingdom of Sardinia, as the botanist and mineralogist of a planned circumnavigation of the globe. After collecting in a few localities in southern Brazil and Uruguay, Casaretto collected for almost nine months, from April to December 1839, in Rio de Janeiro and its vicinity. While in Rio, he also bought about 100 collections from Riedel and about 500 collections from Clausen, which were made in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais, which he re‐numbered and integrated into his collections. He also made significant collections in the state of Bahia, and a few collections in and around Recife (Pernambuco). Based on the preceding collections, Casaretto published a total of 101 names (in 36 plant families, delimited according to APG III), of which, according to the present study, 27 names are currently accepted, 12 serve as basionyms for currently accepted names, 7 are illegitimate due to superfluity, and 55 are heterotypic synonyms of previously published names. All the 101 names of Casaretto are hereby typified, and Eugenia casarettoana Delprete is here proposed as a substitute name for an illegitimate later homonym. In addition, a lectotype and an epitype for Couratari estrellensis Raddi are here designated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Goal: although Organizational Support is recognized as a relevant antecedent of aspects such as commitment and motivation of the workers, there are still few studies that investigate the construct in the public sector, especially considering qualitative approaches. In order to minimize these shortcomings, this article aims to analyze how public managers perceive the organizational support offered by the Secretariat of Planning and Management of Pernambuco (Seplag-PE). Methodology: a case study was carried out using the following data collection techniques: semi-structured interviews, participant observation and documentary analysis. Main results: the results, obtained from the content analysis, indicate that there is a negative perception of the managers of Seplag-PE regarding the support offered by the institution. In addition, the research suggested the change of the Work Overload category used by Tamayo and Tróccoli (2001) and identified the political factors as a new category of organizational support, which contributes to a negative perception of the support offered by the institution. Contributions: in general, the study contributed to deepening the understanding of the process of forming public servants' impressions regarding organizational support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
