Habitat fragmentation is among the greatest threats to arachnids present in the forests, especially to Enoploctenus cyclothorax (Ctenidae), which is widely distributed in the Atlantic Forest of southern and southeastern Brazil. Fragmented populations, whether due to anthropic or stochastic factors, tend to be more susceptible to extinction, since genetic diversity is reduced in small and isolated populations. Considering this, the current work aimed to understand how the genetic variability is distributed in six populations of E. cyclothorax (120 individuals sampled), sampled in fragments of the Atlantic Forest in Paraná (Brazil), based on Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. The results obtained support the separation of E. cyclothorax into two distinct genetic groups in the state, based mainly on analyses of genetic structure and connectivity. A strong and significant genetic structure was observed in the species, supported by the k = 3 estimated using Bayesian analysis, by the high values of FST genetic differentiation, and by the low gene flow identified between the genetic groups. Corroborating these results, isolation by distance and the presence of a genetic barrier in the evaluated populations were evidenced. Population genomic analysis also revealed non-homogeneous genetic diversity in E. cyclothorax (HE = 0.14 to 0.31). The hypothesis that population fragmentation could possibly impact the genetic variability of E. cyclothorax throughout the state was confirmed by the inferred data, which point to phytophysiognomy, geographical distance, and forest fragmentation as factors that shaped the current genetic structure identified in the evaluated populations.

The species M. melini has been observed in both the Pampa and Spinal ecoregions of Argentina. Researchers have underscored that distinguishing M. melini from other species within the same genus relies primarily on craniometric and molecular analyses. Morphological measurements alone do not offer a clear differentiation between M. melini and other members of this genus.This study aims to document the presence of M. melini within the Brazilian ecoregion, focusing on its morphological, morphometric and genetic characteristics. By undertaking a comprehensive examination, we seek to contribute valuable insights into the distribution and differentiation of M. melini in this region.Molossus melini specimens exhibited a forearm length ranging from 39.9 to 40.08 mm. The average intraspecific divergence was 1.2%, with specimens from the Argentine Pampas clustering in the same clade with a 98% bootstrap support and a posterior probability of: Regarding dorsal colouration, the specimens displayed fur with two bands—a Snow White base colour and apex colours ranging from Olive Brown, Broccoli Brown, Wood Brown to Yellowish-Brown. This marks the first record of M. melini in Brazil, expanding its distribution 1,300 km northeastwards into the Curitiba, Paraná, Atlantic Forest Ecoregion. The findings contribute valuable information on the distribution, morphology, morphometrics and genetics of this species.

The introduction and dispersal of salmonids have been widespread in Patagonian basins, including anadromous species such as Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), rainbow trout or steelhead (O. mykiss), sea-run brown trout (Salmo trutta), and, to a lesser extent, coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). In recent years, Chinook salmon and steelhead have been reported in the Paraná and Uruguay rivers and in the estuary of La Plata River. This could be a result of long-distance movements, where stray individuals travel northward along the cold Malvinas current. They enter these rivers when it collides with the warm current originating from Brazil. However, this entry takes place within a specific timeframe when the water temperature remains below its lethal thermal threshold. Due to this temperature constraint and their reproductive characteristics, the introduction of salmonids into this basin would not present a risk to the native species. The projected impact of climate change, which anticipates an increase in river temperatures and a southward shift of the Brazilian current, would further support this hypothesis.

The service sector has been shown to be a key sector in the economy, with a large share in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and in the absorption of labor. Thus, the objective of this research is to verify how the workforce in the service sector is distributed among the micro-regions of the state of Paraná in the years 2000 and 2020. For this, data provided by the Instituto Paranaense de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (IPARDES) are used, referring to labor from Paraná, and applied to Location and Specialization Measures. The main results obtained showed that Public Administration is a prominent subgroup in the state and during the period of analysis, there was little change in the spatial distribution and specialization of activities in the micro-regions of Paraná. Furthermore, it was found that micro-regions with higher population concentrations tend to have a more diversified service sector, while micro-regions with lower concentrations have a higher rate of specialization in some of the activities. Finally, it was observed that the service sector is, in general, a diversified sector but of great importance for the economy of Paraná. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The agribusiness production chains constitute a significant surplus producer for export, thus becoming sources of specialization for various regions and municipalities. This study analyzes the level of specialization in agricultural and livestock activities in the Administrative Region of Paranavaí between the years 2012 and 2021. The adopted measure of specialization is the Locational Quotient, which allows the identification of specific agricultural and livestock activities in the Administrative Region of Paranavaí at the municipal level, demonstrating some degree of specialization concerning the state of Paraná. Additionally, the aim is to analyze the variation in this level of specialization between the years 2021 and 2012. The results revealed the effectiveness of the method in identifying specialized activities, highlighting their geographical distribution and temporal evolution. A significant concentration was observed in certain activities with a high degree of specialization, especially for Ginseng/Pfafia, Rubber Tree (latex), Annatto, Irrigated Rice, Lemongrass (green), and Peanuts.

O problema do abandono escolar é latente na realidade brasileira e, por isso, diversos trabalhos têm sido feitos para a ampliação da compreensão desse fenômeno. Este artigo se insere nesse movimento, focando políticas públicas de combate ao abandono escolar. Tem-se como objetivo tecer compreensões sobre os programas lançados pelo Governo do Estado do Paraná – o Programa de Combate ao Abandono Escolar na sua segunda edição (2018) e o Programa Presente na Escola (2019). O lócus da pesquisa foi um colégio do setor da Cidade Industrial de Curitiba (CIC). Para tanto, aportes do método do Ciclo de Políticas Educacionais foram mobilizados. Foram utilizados como dados documentos oficiais e entrevistas com a diretora e um professor do colégio lócus da pesquisa e um gestor da Secretaria Estadual de Educação do Estado do Paraná (SEED-PR). Aponta-se como resultado a necessidade de diálogo com a comunidade envolvida na construção dos programas que podem auxiliar na elaboração de políticas públicas mais adequadas às diferentes realidades escolares brasileiras.

Resumo Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a dinâmica das mudanças na estrutura produtiva da agropecuária do Estado do Paraná a partir das informações dos Censos Agropecuários de 2006 e 2017. Foram utilizadas as análises multivariadas, fatorial e cluster, para caracterizar as mudanças temporais e espaciais, considerando vinte indicadores da modernização da agropecuária associados ao uso da terra, tecnificação e capitalização, mão de obra e condição do produtor e dos estabelecimentos. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam transformações significativas na agropecuária do Estado do Paraná, mas que ainda privilegiam as tradicionais tendências do país, com expansão da agropecuária voltada para exportação e redução da agricultura familiar, a qual ainda absorve a maior parcela da ocupação no meio rural.

Resumo: O processo de desindustrialização na economia brasileira tem sido tema recente de debates, tanto acadêmico como público, dado a crescente percepção o da decomposição prematura no setor industrial. Inserido nesse contexto, o presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a existência desse processo no estado do Paraná entre os anos de 1989 e 2019. A metodologia utilizada foi a Análise Exploratória de Dados Espaciais e estimações econometricas espaciais. Os resultados mostram sintomas de desindustrialização, tanto no estado como também em grande parcela dos municípios que o compõe, dada a redução na representatividade do emprego industrial em relação ao emprego total da economia.

O artigo busca contribuir para o registro da história da imprensa alternativa no Paraná durante a ditadura civil-militar, com ênfase nas publicações que circularam no início dos anos 1980. A partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental sobre a resistência à ditadura militar instaurada no Brasil durante o período de 1964-1985, pretende-se identificar o papel da imprensa alternativa na visibilidade das demandas e bandeiras dos movimentos sociais. Com base nas características dos jornais Maria (Curitiba, 1984), Boca no Trombone (Curitiba, 1980) e Nosso Tempo (Foz do Iguaçu, 1980), são apresentados alguns elementos que compõem uma narrativa sobre lutas sociais e oposição ao autoritarismo no Paraná.

A pesquisa objetivou verificar a existência de influência do valor recebido pelo ICMS Ecológico e a efetividade da gestão ambiental dos municípios paranaenses, sob a ótica do desenvolvimento sustentável medido pelo IEGM Ambiental, no período de 2019 a 2021. Para atingir esse objetivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, documental e de abordagem quantitativa e desenvolvido um modelo de regressão linear com dados em painel. A variável dependente foi o IEGM Ambiental; a variável independente, o ICMS Ecológico, e os dados demonstraram que o ICMS Ecológico foi estatisticamente significativo e exerce influência no IEGM Ambiental. Nessa ótica, é possível que o ICMS Ecológico paranaense tenda a ampliar os benefícios tributários aos Municípios e que o Pagamento por Serviço Ambiental (PSA) porque tem potencial para constituir-se numa das mais atrativas modalidades de incentivo às RPPN ao gerar benefícios financeiros diretos. Abstract: This study, aimed to measure the participation of the credit cooperative’s solidary interaction in the operationalization resources, hired by family farming in the municipality of, in the period from 2015 to 2019. The research can be characterized as exploratory, descriptive, field and case study, conducted over a qualitative and quantitative approach. Secondary data was based on bibliographic and documentary data, and primary data was collected from the cooperative through interviews with leaders and direct observation. With a prominent presence of cooperatives, the municipality has its main economic and social base related to family farming. Rural credit for family farming plays a decisive role in stimulating production, generating jobs and income, including and promoting sustainable development. With the increase of cooperative participation, it is possible to better understand the importance of credit, the qualification of public policies and the importance of cooperative actions.

Resumo Este artigo analisa a trajetória de pequeno grupo de haitianos que concluíram cursos superiores na Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), entre 2019 e 2021. Em termos concretos, examinamos a relação entre habitus e capitais de cada migrante que frequentou as aulas de português, concluiu os cursos superiores e iniciou sua carreira profissional. A seleção dos entrevistados foi realizada a partir da base de dados de alunos imigrantes e refugiados disponibilizada pela Pró-Reitoria de Assuntos Estudantis da UFPR. Como referencial teórico, utilizamos os conceitos de habitus imigrante e capital migratório, desenvolvidos a partir da Teoria da Prática (Pierre Bourdieu, 1930-2002). Em síntese, percebe-se que aqueles imigrantes providos de habitus adequados e de capitais específicos foram mais exitosos em seus percursos educacionais e inserção no mercado de trabalho.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar as mudanças ocorridas na população rural paranaense entre 2004 e 2014. Para tal, foram analisadas características da população e dos domicílios rurais paranaenses por meio de análises descritivas e utilização de alguns instrumentos estatísticos, como correlação de Pearson, além da estimação do Índice de Gini. Os dados utilizados foram retirados dos microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) referente ao Paraná, para os anos de 2004 e 2014. Os resultados demonstram indícios de melhora na condição de vida da população rural, com aumento da renda, da escolaridade e das condições dos domicílios. Contudo, apesar da suposta melhora na condição de vida, verifica-se a evasão, o envelhecimento da população rural e o crescimento das atividades não agrícolas como atividade principal da população rural paranaense.

In Brazil, the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) created the Program for Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food (PARA) in 2001 with the purpose of evaluating pesticide residue levels reaching the consumer’s table. Currently, all Brazilian states participate in this program, except for Paraná, which established its own program in 2011 and ceased to participate in ANVISA’s analyses in 2016. In this context, this article aimed to analyze the results of pesticide residue monitoring in food in the state of Paraná and discuss the advances and limitations within the state program. The methodology relied on exploratory documentary research, analyzing reports from the Program for Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food coordinated by ANVISA and the State Program for Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food (PARA/PR), made available on the website of the Paraná State Health Department (SESA/PR). Additionally, bulletins and reports from the Surveillance and Health Care Plan for Populations Exposed to Pesticides in the State of Paraná (PEVASPEA) were also examined. It was identified that, on average, 60% of food samples analyzed in Paraná between 2001-2019 contained some level of pesticide contamination. The most frequently detected irregularities were found in samples of bell peppers, strawberries, cucumbers, and grapes. There are indications of multiple exposures, as some foods, such as strawberries, presented an average detection of up to eight different active ingredients per sample. The mos detected pesticides belong to the dithiocarbamate group, as well as carbendazim, imidacloprid, and tebuconazole. Thus, this study intends to raise awareness about the essential need to consider and demand less harmful methods for the environment and human health in food production, while promoting strategies for proper nutrition

Os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) abrangem diversas questões socioambientais e são aplicáveis a todos os países. O ODS 15, Vida Terrestre, visa proteger os ecossistemas terrestres, conservar a biodiversidade e reduzir a perda de biodiversidade, e o estado do Paraná é um dos estados com uma das maiores proporções de área de remanescentes florestais do Brasil e conta com uma política de preservação ambiental. Em vista disso, o estudo tem como objetivo analisar a eficiência dos municípios paranaenses no atendimento ao Objetivo do Desenvolvimento Sustentável 15 - Proteger a vida terrestre. Para isso, foi utilizada a abordagem da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA – Data Envelopment Analysis), tendo como input o Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços Ecológico (ICMS Ecológico) e como output o percentual de áreas florestais dos municípios. Os resultados apontaram que os municípios Campo do Tenente, Céu Azul, Guaratuba, Imbituva, Ipiranga, Mirador, Morretes e Teixeira Soares foram eficientes, tendo como característica principal, a presença de parques ecológicos. Por outro lado, foi observado que as regiões mais industrializadas e urbanas concentraram mais municípios com ineficiência forte. Além disso, os municípios Piraquara, Pinhais, Campo Magro e Quatro Barras apresentaram os maiores excessos no recebimento de recursos do ICMS Ecológico. Enquanto os municípios de Pinhais, Curitiba, São Jorge do Patrocínio, Altônia, São Pedro do Paraná e Quatiguá apresentaram as maiores necessidades relativas de aumentar as áreas remanescentes florestais.

Este texto apresenta resumidamente a trajetória de ações e as perspectivas do movimento Fica Espanhol no Paraná. A ênfase histórica está nos trabalhos registrados a partir de 2016, quando o então presidente da república propôs alterações na Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, afetando diretamente as políticas linguísticas. Essas proposições foram aprovadas e, em 2017, culminaram na Lei 13.415, que retira o direito de consulta à comunidade escolar e institui, de modo antidemocrático, um único idioma como de oferta obrigatória em todas as escolas do país. Diante de tantos atos discricionários, as manifestações começaram a surgir e as universidades públicas paranaenses se uniram para lutar pelo plurilinguismo, pela democracia nas políticas linguísticas e por uma lei que assegure o direito de aprender a língua espanhola na Educação Básica (EB) no Paraná. Mediante ampla mobilização política, com participação dos professores da EB, dos estudantes dos cursos de Letras Espanhol das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) do Paraná e de autoridades representativas, o movimento alcançou relevantes resultados, os quais culminaram na aprovação de uma emenda à constituição do estado Paraná, que assegura a oferta do ensino de Espanhol no Ensino Fundamental II e Ensino Médio. Neste momento, o Fica Espanhol no Paraná acompanha a implementação da Lei e luta para que ela ocorra de modo efetivo.

This text analyzes the experience of the political struggle for the maintenance of Philosophy in High School in Paraná, with emphasis on the post-approval period of the New High School. Initially, it presents a diagnosis of the ultra-liberal public policies implemented in Paraná in recent years and, above all, of the process of platformization and its impacts on pedagogical practice. It shows how the "didactic sequences" (ready-made classes) and the control of the pedagogical practice exercised through RCO+Classes and the observation of classes in loco remove the autonomy of the teaching practice, producing, at the same time, precariousness in the career and an illness never seen before. Next, the text analyzes the reaction of some organized sectors of society to the reform after its implementation, as they perceive the contradictions and their impacts on school daily life. Taking as reference for the analysis official documents, manifestos, letters, testimonies and manifestations of entities and research groups, the study is carried out in the light of the categories "totality" and "social being", in order to perceive the contradictions present in the context of educational and curricular policies implemented in Paraná in recent years.

Objective: To analyse the records of male hospitalisation for fungal infections, including their spatial distribution and the main invasive epidemiological and sociodemographic characteristics in the State of Paraná, Brazil. Methods: Spatial analysis based on data from male admission records for invasive fungal infections (IFIs) in the State of Paraná, from 2015 to 2019. Data were taken from the hospital records obtained in the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System, being collected, georeferenced and analysed to infer the existence of autocorrelation with the hospitalisation rates in the state. Results: From 2015 to 2019, there were 385 cases of IFIs in men, being more prevalent in white individuals aged 61–70 years. We observed that the metropolitan, southeast, central‐eastern, north‐central, northwestern and western regions formed high–high clusters, with regions with a high number of registered cases. In the regression, there was an association with socioeconomic and demographic factors that showed a correlation with the rates of hospitalisation for IFIs. Conclusion: The study draws attention to Paraná as an endemic region for paracoccidioidomycosis, in addition to presenting high rates of nosocomial fungal infections. We also emphasise the importance of compulsory notification in the state and in the country to gain greater control over the incidence and prevalence of cases and to incentivise the creation of public policies for the prevention of IFIs.

To assist decision making regarding the National Equine Health Program in the state of Paraná, a study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of infected farms and seropositive animals for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) and also identify possible risk factors for the disease. The state was divided into three regions, within which about 300 farms were randomly selected. On the selected farms, a minimum number of animals aged 6 months or older were examined to characterize them as infected or free of EIA. In the sampled farms, an epidemiological questionnaire was applied to investigate possible associations between the disease and its characteristics, including sanitary practices and livestock management. The test used was the Agar Gel Immunodiffusion Test. A total of 2818 equids from 889 farms were tested. In the state, the prevalence of infected farms was 1.55% [0.92; 3.00] and the prevalence of seropositive animals was 0.55% [0.27; 1.00]. Introduction of equids showed an association with EIA (OR=5.5 [1.9; 15.9]). Paraná equine owners should be alerted to the need to observe health precautions regarding EIA when introducing animals to their herd. In 2018, the sensitivity of the Surveillance System for EIA in Paraná was only 1.36%, probably insufficient to change the endemic balance of the disease, therefore, needs to be re-evaluated involving in the process all public and private agents interested in the subject.

Abstract Designing strategic areas for biodiversity protection should help prevent species extinction. However, these delimitations are rarely evaluated for their effectiveness. To determine whether the original design of the Strategic Areas for the Conservation and Restoration of Biodiversity in Paraná (AECR) adequately protected the species and identify the species most likely to become extinct in the region, we analyzed occurrence records for threatened flora in the state’s most degraded phytogeographic regions (Araucaria Forest, Cerrado, and grassland). We developed a list of threatened species for Paraná using herbarium records. We also compiled a threatened species occurrence list for the region by filtering through the herbarium records. Based on the main concepts defining threat status and gap species, we identified the species at an elevated risk of extinction in the study region. A total of 644 threatened species were detected in the regions studied, 86% of which have been recorded within the AECR, and 30% can be characterized as gap species. The species distribution polygons accounted for 98% of species within the AECR and 4% as gap species. A total of 54 species (8.38% of the total) are at a higher risk of extinction.

O artigo pretende uma análise quantitativa da profissionalização do Ministério Público paranaense durante a Velha República, utilizando os relatórios dos secretários de governo ao presidente de Estado, do presidente de Estado ao Congresso Legislativo e os livros de assentamento de promotores públicos do Paraná. Para tanto, buscou-se analisar o processo de recrutamento, isto é, como alguém se tornava um promotor público à época, e o crescimento do número de bacharéis nessa carreira jurídica entre os anos de 1891 e 1930, em comparação com o número total de membros na instituição. Fez-se necessário apresentar algumas das legislações mais significativas que regulavam o crescimento e a organização do sistema judiciário paranaense, além de expor algumas reflexões sobre a bibliografia que aborda o tema do bacharelismo estadual no período. Neste recorte temporal, temos a constituição da primeira Faculdade de Direito no Paraná, fruto da liberalização do Ensino Superior intentada pela reforma Rivadávia Corrêa, importante marco para a formação e manutenção de bacharéis em Direito no estado. Assim, buscou-se investigar se a constituição desse estabelecimento de ensino superior impactou ou não a profissionalização ministerial e, em caso positivo, quais os impactos práticos, rupturas e continuidades desse grupo social durante a Velha República.

We approach the triad State, water and power in water management of Tibagi River Basin Committee (CBHT), located in the state of Paraná. Our objective is to understand the processes that show the asymmetry of power in the governance of CBHT as an expression of the power relations that seek to control the main political decisions about the use of water. Methodologically, we adopted a qualitative approach with a descriptive perspective and based on documentary data and interviews. At the end, we affirm that the chronic slowness, scarcity of resources and decision-making centralization constitute and perpetuate the asymmetry of power in the new governance arrangements. This scenery, despite the history of resistance from representatives of civil society, is strategic to repress democratic demands for sustainability in water management and privilege its great user interests. Governance “failures” have in the State an agent and a strategic space to favor the appropriation of water as raw material and waste diluent at low cost, in short, used as “cheap” water. In this way, costs of an unequal appropriation of water are socialized for society and for nature in the process of mobilizing water flows from Tibagi hydrographic basin, according to the time and logic of the financial flows of the global circuit of capital and forces dominant policies at the regional scale.

In the framework of the German-Brazilian project SOLOBIOMA (‘Soil biota and biogeochemistry in the Southern Atlantic rainforests of Brazil’), soil invertebrates were sampled in different regeneration stages of forest: pastures, young, medium and advanced secondary forests as well as old-growth forests. Thirty-nine study sites were located in two private nature reserves situated in neighbouring regions of the southern Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) in Paraná, Brazil. All sites were characterized in terms of climate, history of use (age), vegetation, and soil properties. Here we report on the species diversity of pot worms (Oligochaeta: Enchytraeidae) in these sites, sampled with ISO standard methods. At each site ten soil cores of 5.7 cm diameter were taken once between 2003 and 2008, wet extracted and all pot worms identified alive soon after sampling. Most of the 61 species found in this study were new to science. The enchytraeid fauna of the region is dominated by species of the genera Achaeta, Guaranidrilus and Hemienchytraeus. To date, six species of the genus Achaeta, three species of the new genus Xetadrilus and four species of the species-rich genus Guaranidrilus were described by some of the authors. The terrestrial enchytraeid fauna of Paraná is composed partly of (probably) endemic species (e.g. Achaeta paranensis), partly of species with a known wider distribution within South America (e.g. Hemienchytraeus patricii). Species-poor genera are Fridericia, Enchytraeusand Marionina. On average, enchytraeid abundance was low (i.e. less than 5000 ind m-2). Highest abundance was found in old-growth forests. Species assemblages respond to soil type and vegetation type, and some preferences at the species or genus level could be identified. Due to their small size, low abundance and resulting low biomass enchytraeid worms seem to have little ecological importance in terms of energy flux and nutrient turnover, especially when compared with earthworms. However, due to their species richness they may be useful to indicate the biological status of a site in terms of biological soil quality or perturbation.

Este trabajo indaga sobre el desarrollo de los estudios helénicos en la ciudad de Paraná durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Una etapa caracterizada por la presencia en la capital entrerriana de varios individuos que de una u otra manera contribuyeron a fomentar el estudio y la enseñanza de la cultura griega clásica. En esa línea, se exploran aquí las trayectorias intelectuales y redes académicas de los mencionados personajes. Con énfasis en las figuras de Osvaldo Melella y Vicente Visñovezky, para el campo de la Literatura, Juan Carlos Wirth para el de Historia, y Celia Ortiz de Montoya para Filosofía. Por último, la investigación procura dar respuesta a los motivos que llevaron a una pérdida de interés por los estudios clásicos en los sectores académicos en las décadas de 1980 y 1990.

This study analyses how the expansion of the agricultural production and of the industry of food products for Paraná state in the year of 2020 caused impacts on the production value, added value, taxes and job positions. In order to reach the research target, this study estimated a matrix of input-output interregional Paraná-rest of Brazil, which enabled the shock of offer in agricultural and in the industry of food products. The results show that the effects of the shock of offer present positive impacts on the productive structure of the state of Paraná, having a varia-tion of 1.02% in the production value and 1.63% in relation to job positions.

The thermal effect that occurs due to the insertion of igneous intrusions in sedimentary basins has been widely investigated in different geological contexts, either to obtain more precise information about the development of the basin and or for the purpose of exploring and evaluating the mineral resources existing there. We can verify that the knowledge of the thermal gradient is fundamental in studies of heat distribution through means such as the Earth's crust or mantle, as this way, we obtain the thermal evolution of magmatic intrusions and adjacent rocks over geological time. For the present work, the determination of the temperature gradient and consequently the thermal evolution of a 13-meter-thick sill and adjacent rocks located in the Paraná Basin - Irati Formation, was obtained through the use of the one-dimensional heat dispersion model in transient regime of finite time, in which, in the spatial variable the numerical method of finite differences (FDM) is used and in the temporal variable the Euler method. Although in cases of large and thick magmatic bodies or sections that include the terrestrial lithospheric and asthenospheric mantles, the mechanism of convection and radiation has an expressive role in the energy transfer process. However, in most geological situations, conduction is the most important mechanism in the heat distribution process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This ecological study aimed to analyze the association between the amount of pesticide commercialization and some diseases and causes of mortality in the state of Paraná from 2013 to 2017. In this way, a comparison was made between the 22 health regions, identifying the relationship between the rate of commercialization of pesticides per inhabitant with the following variables: rate of exogenous intoxication related to work, rate of exogenous intoxication by pesticides related to work, rate of suicide attempts and mortality rates from neoplasms, congenital malformation and suicide. For these last three health outcomes, the selected nonlinear models had their R-squared above 0.500. The Cascavel Health Region stood out with more municipalities with high rates of pesticide marketing and health outcomes, unlike the Metropolitan Health Region. It is observed that the profile of the municipalities that have the highest rates of the diseases studied is rural and with production mainly of soy, corn, wheat, tobacco, pastures, and beans. Thus, the need to review the conventional agri-food model and promote rigorous public policies to control pesticides, in addition to preventing health problems, strengthening Epidemiological Surveillance services is highlighted.

The purpose of this article is to present the situation of the main natural resources of the state and their sustainable development potential. Natural resources are highly demanded by economic activities with increasing relevance in the state. This poses the question of what is the threshold for sustainable development under unfavorable environmental circumstances. This text instigates the debate and provides material for long term public policies. It assumes that conditions surpassing the state boundaries will require mitigating procedures. The compared analysis between Paraná and other major regional economies of Brazil is carried out through a descriptive research, with documental support and quantitative approach. In conclusion, the state potentiality is intertwined with better practices in the primary sector production, with greater efficiency and higher productivity. Associated to clean energy output, this process contributes, therefore, to reduce deleterious influences to the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Brazil, the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) created the Program for Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food (PARA) in 2001 with the purpose of evaluating pesticide residue levels reaching the consumer’s table. Currently, all Brazilian states participate in this program, except for Paraná, which established its own program in 2011 and ceased to participate in ANVISA’s analyses in 2016. In this context, this article aimed to analyze the results of pesticide residue monitoring in food in the state of Paraná and discuss the advances and limitations within the state program. The methodology relied on exploratory documentary research, analyzing reports from the Program for Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food coordinated by ANVISA and the State Program for Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Food (PARA/ PR), made available on the website of the Paraná State Health Department (SESA/ PR). Additionally, bulletins and reports from the Surveillance and Health Care Plan for Populations Exposed to Pesticides in the State of Paraná (PEVASPEA) were also examined. It was identified that, on average, 60% of food samples analyzed in Paraná between 2001-2019 contained some level of pesticide contamination. The most frequently detected irregularities were found in samples of bell peppers, strawberries, cucumbers, and grapes. There are indications of multiple exposures, as some foods, such as strawberries, presented an average detection of up to eight different active ingredients per sample. The most detected pesticides belong to the dithiocarbamate group, as well as carbendazim, imidacloprid, and tebuconazole. Thus, this study intends to raise awareness about the essential need to consider and demand less harmful methods for the environment and human health in food production, while promoting strategies for proper nutrition.

This article examines the development of Hellenic studies in the city of Paraná during the 1960s and 1970s. It was a stage characterized by the presence, in the capital of Entre Ríos, of a number of individuals who in one way or another contributed to promoting the study and teaching of classical Greek culture. Along these lines, the intellectual trajectories and academic networks of these scholars are the focus of this research. Emphasis will be placed on the figures of Osvaldo Melella and Vicente Visñovezky, for the field of Literature, Juan Carlos Wirth for the domain of History, and Celia Ortiz de Montoya for Philosophy. Finally, this study seeks to uncover the reasons that led to a loss of interest in classical studies in the academic communities in the 1980s and 1990s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) impacts considerably animal production and one health worldwide. To describe the prevalence, risk factors, and spatial pattern of the disease in the state of Paraná, Brazil, a cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2018 to February 2019. The area was divided into seven regions. Within each region, farms were randomly selected, and a predetermined number of cows was selected and tested by a comparative cervical tuberculin test. 17,210 animals were tested across 1757 farms. Herd prevalence of bTB-infected herds in Paraná was 2.5% [1.87–3.00%]. It has varied from 0.8 to 3.98% among seven regions, with clustering being detected in the west, central, and northeast areas. Animal prevalence was 0.35% [0.21–0.59%] and has varied from 0.08 to 0.6% among the pre-set regions. No major shifts in the prevalence of bTB were detected since 2007. Large-sized herds, dairy production, and feeding with whey were detected to be correlated with the presence of bTB. Exclusively among dairy herds, veterinary assistance from cooperatives, possession of self-owned equipment to cool milk, and feeding with whey were correlated with the disease. Considering these results, it is recommended that the state of Paraná seek to implement a surveillance system for the detection of bTB-infected herds transforming them into free ones, if possible, incorporating elements of risk-based surveillance. Health education is also recommended to inform farmers about the risks of introducing animals without testing and of feeding raw whey to calves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este trabajo indago la trayectoria particular de la familia del comerciante brasileño Ricardo Ferreira y su esposa Josefa Antunes, quienes hacia fines del período de abolición gradual de la esclavitud consignaban la mayor cantidad de personas esclavizadas bajo dominio en la ciudad de Paraná. Para llevar a cabo esta tarea apelo a la vinculación nominal con diferentes registros, como censos provinciales y nacionales, actas de bautismo, matrimonio y defunción, protocolos notariales, causas civiles y comerciales. De forma complementaria, analizo la legislación local y regional, así como los acuerdos internacionales que se vinculan con la cuestión de la esclavitud y su abolición. A través de la reconstrucción del derrotero de la familia Ferreira Antunes pongo en evidencia algunos de los aspectos políticos, sociales y económicos que estaban en juego en el contexto del litoral rioplatense y la frontera con el sur del Imperio del Brasil durante el proceso abolicionista. Por otra parte, la elección de una temporalidad extendida responde a la búsqueda de problematizar los modos de acceso a la ciudadanía e incorporación al mercado de trabajo tanto de la última generación de esclavos, como la de sus hijos y nietos, en los años inmediatamente posteriores a 1853.

RESUMO O presente trabalho trata da análise de um conjunto de ações do município de Londrina-PR relacionadas à estruturação da profissão de professor municipal (1934-1963). A temática está inserida na área de História da Educação, particularmente nos estudos sobre municipalismo na educação. A delimitação temporal proposta foi, por um lado, 1934, por ser o ano dos primeiros atos do poder público local em prol de subvencionar o contrato de professores, e, por outro lado, 1963, o ano de término daCampanha Nacional de Educação Ruralque esteve marcadamente presente no aperfeiçoamento do professorado local coordenado pelo Departamento de Educação e Assistência Social - DEPAS. Os dados empíricos consultados foram relatórios do poder executivo, atas do poder legislativo e legislações. As análises permitiram compreender a estruturação da profissão de professor municipal mediante a sua introdução no quadro do funcionalismo público, previsão de vencimentos salariais, formação em instituições especializadas e participação em cursos de aperfeiçoamento pedagógico.

The current values of the components of the water balance of the Parana delta, one of the largest deltas of South America, as well as the results of calculations of the actual distribution and redistribution of water runoff and sediment yield in the delta branches are presented. Response of the components of the Parana delta water balance on climate variations is revealed. Long-term changes in the water and sediment flow distributions in the delta branches are considered. Analysis of dynamics of estuarine delta coastline shows stable increase of the river delta area, which could cause dangerous hydrological phenomena at the Parana delta. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Consigne-se que o professor é um ator indispensável no processo de ensino e aprendizagem tendo como parâmetro o perfil do profissional que se pretende formar descrito na Proposta Curricular dos Cursos de Pós-Graduação stricto sensu, pois este não se constitui apenas num documento com propostas metodológico-pedagógicas, mas num articulador de ações humanas, uma vez que a sua construção e reconstrução deve ser um espaço para reflexões e estímulo aos docentes para se buscar intensamente a sua concretização. Isso posto, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a concepção dos cursos públicos de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Direito no Estado do Paraná acerca da formação didático-pedagógica do professor no âmbito do ensino jurídico presente na proposta curricular dos cursos. A fim de identificar as estratégias utilizadas pelas Instituições de Ensino Superior no que se refere ao saber e fazer docente, a partir de três categorias: a) objetivos voltados à formação docente; b) estágio docente; e c) disciplinas relativas à formação de professores. Como metodologia, trata-se de uma abordagem qualitativa, onde se adotou a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental tendo como objeto de análise a Proposta Pedagógica dos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu em Direito. Ao término do estudo constatou-se que os dados coletados evidenciam a necessidade de se repensar a forma como os cursos de mestrado e doutorado tem tratado a formação docente, demandando, inclusive, uma reflexão sobre o processo avaliativo desses cursos junto à Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).

O objetivo deste estudo é identificar a eficiência dos gastos públicos com educação básica nos municípios do Estado do Paraná e analisar como os condicionantes socioeconômicos estão relacionados com os scores de eficiência. Para isso, a estratégia empírica foi baseada em duas etapas: i) utilizou-se do método da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) para medir a eficiência e; ii) realizou-se uma análise econométrica espacial com o índice de eficiência estimado na primeira etapa como variável dependente e um conjunto de indicadores socioeconômicos como covariáveis. As duas etapas foram implementadas com dados referente ao ano de 2017. Os principais resultados apontam os municípios com as maiores notas do Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (IDEB) não são necessariamente os que possuem os maiores scores de eficiência do gasto público com educação. Os resultados das regressões apontaram uma relação negativa entre a proporção do Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (FUNDEB) na receita corrente e eficiência, evidenciando uma potencial distorção alocativa dos recursos públicos aplicados na educação básica.

O presente texto tem como objetivo analisar as políticas educacionais e sua relação com o empresariado no contexto da pandemia pela Covid-19, na educação pública paranaense. Trata-se dos resultados de uma pesquisa de análise documental e de conteúdo a partir de dados presentes nos contratos de compra de serviços de telefonia, televisão, produção e transmissão de vídeo pelo Estado do Paraná para a oferta do ensino remoto aos alunos dos anos finais do ensino fundamental e ensino médio, no período de suspensão das aulas presenciais iniciado em março de 2020. Os resultados demonstram que, ao longo dos primeiros meses da pandemia, ocorreu expansão da ação empresarial na educação pública paranaense.

RESUMO O artigo tem como tema a formação de mestres rurais no Paraná, via Curso Normal Regional, desde quando criada até quando é extinta esta modalidade de formação docente, entre os anos de 1946 e 1968. A análise incide sobre as investigações no âmbito das teses e dissertações que tomam como objeto de estudo os Cursos Normais Regionais paranaenses. Em especial, demarca-se o protagonismo de Erasmo Pilotto e Diva Vidal nas ações frente ao intenso processo de interiorização dos Cursos Normais Regionais. Emprega-se como referencial teórico a História Cultural, a partir dos conceitos de “cultura escolar” de Julia (2001) e “estratégias e práticas” de Certeau (1998). Como fontes documentais, delimitam-se as teses e dissertações da área de educação, documentos do Arquivo Público do Paraná, da Biblioteca da Secretaria de Estado da Educação, da Biblioteca Pública do Paraná, da Secretaria de Educação e Cultura e/ou Serviço de Ensino Normal, inclusive originais do CD-ROM de Gonçalves (2016). Considerando o número de Cursos Normais Regionais (121 cursos em 1964) e a localização de 12 trabalhos, este balanço preliminar aclara a singularidade assumida pelo Curso Normal Regional paranaense, resultado do esforço conjunto de conhecidos educadores (Erasmo Pilotto e Diva Vidal) e de anônimos professores que conviveram com a consonância e contrariedade entre prescrito e praticado e elaboraram estratégias e táticas para lidar com o problema da formação docente rural.
