The paint market of today is a jungle whit an enormous range of different paint types; there all has different properties and different compositions, some with big influence on the environment and some whit less influence on the environment. It could even be difficult for an expert to always know what should be used on which surface and what would be the best out of the environmental point of view. This work is not intended as a total review of all the manufactures range of colours; only as a deeper dissertation about distemper paint in general, in particular Falu Red Paint. Whit focuses on the environmental issues. The work is especially for those who are ready to paint but don’t know what paint they should chose and people that has a interest in paint and environment, perhaps it also could be of interest for professional painters even when there probably isn’t any big news for them. The information is compiled from the Internet and downloaded brochures from the Internet.

Reliance on foreign oil is a major problem facing the United States due to uncontrollable prices, dealing with hostile nations, and oil wars. Demographic variables, risk perception, community attachment, environmental knowledge, and environmental attitudes of Texans were examined to determine which factors influence attitudes toward the hard- and soft-energy path for ending the U.S. Reliance on foreign oil. The data for this study were collected through a mailed questionnaire which included 1,228 Texans in 12 counties over three ecological regions. The dependent measures, hard-energy path and soft-energy path, were regressed on the independent and control variables to determine which factors influenced energy-path preference. The results of the data analysis of Texans clearly demonstrated that environmental attitudes, and in the end, knowledge of energy solutions are the most powerful predictors of risk perception.

The aim of this study was to find out how the work with environmental issues are implemented in preschools. The method used was an email survey sent to preschool pedagogues in Sweden. The result of the study showed that the environmental issue that was most used was recycling and the activities that was most used were recycling and composting. The result also showed that mixed groups of children between 1-5 years old were the ones who work the most with environmental issues. / Denna studies syfte var att undersöka hur arbetet med miljöfrågor på förskolor ser ut. Metoden som användes var epostenkäter och skickades till förskolepedagoger i Sverige. Resultatet som framkom var att miljöfrågor arbetas främst genom vardagssysslor och det som fokuseras på mest ute i verksamheterna är källsortering och kompostering. Det framkom även att blandade åldersgrupper mellan 1-5 år är de barngrupper som arbetar mest med miljöfrågor.

Para tanto, torna-se necessário o conhecimento evolutivo do assentamento humano nas áreas urbanas, para que se possa fazer um planejamento e gestão ambiental e, assim, proporcionar um conforto melhor para os seus habitantes, sem causar grandes impactos ao meio ambiente. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as realidades socioeconômica e ambiental no arranjo espacial do "mosaico ocupacional" da zona norte de Teresina, Piauí, onde estão inseridos os bairros de Matadouro, Matinha, Pirajá e Vila Operária. Para tentar vislumbrar a realidade socioeconômica e ambiental dos bairros pesquisados, o estudo utilizou a metodologia de Kawakubo, Luchiari e Morato (2005), aplicada à realidade da área de estudo, no que concerne à mensuração da qualidade ambiental urbana, a partir de dados disponibilizados pelo IBGE (2000), e se fundamenta na elaboração de índices dos temas: domicílios improvisados, áreas verdes, esgotamento sanitário, abastecimento de água e coleta de lixo, e na construção de um índice sintético, o Índice de Qualidade Ambiental Urbana. Para verificar o contraste entre os bairros, com relação às percepções dos moradores sobre a estrutura urbana da região, foi aplicado o teste Estatístico Qui-quadrado, utilizandose as frequências absolutas das respostas do questionário. Ressalte-se que a realidade é dinâmica e contraditória e as transformações são rápidas, apesar de, em muitas ocasiões, não haver percepção de forma imediata / Abstract: The phenomenon of the disorderly urban sprawl of big cities has brought a series of problems that sacrifices the health and comfort of its inhabitants. That is why it becomes necessary to know the evolutionary human settlement in urban areas, so you can make an environmental planning and management, and thus provide a better comfort for its inhabitants without causing major impacts to the environment. This paper aims to analyze the socioeconomic and environmental realities in the spatial arrangement of the "occupational mosaic" of the northern part of Teresina, Piauí, where the neighborhoods of Matadouro, Matinha, Pirajá and Vila Operária are located. In order to try to catch a glimpse of the environmental and socioeconomic reality of the neighborhoods surveyed, the methodology of Kawakubo, Luchiari and Morato (2005) was used, applied to the reality of the study area regarding the measurement of urban environmental quality, from data provided by IBGE (2000), and it is based on the development of indexes of subjects (improvised homes, green areas, sewage, water supply and garbage collection) and the construction of a synthetic indicator, the Urban Environmental Quality Index. To see the contrast between the districts regarding the perceptions of residents on the urban structure of the region, we applied the Chi-square statistic test using the absolute frequencies of the answers from the questionnaires. We emphasize that the reality is dynamic and contradictory and the changes are fast, although in many occasions, there is no immediate perception / Doutor

Com intuito de analisar o contexto e interpretar os fenômenos presentes nas escolas de EJA envolvidas nesse estudo, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva utilizando-se como técnicas de coleta de dados a análise documental, entrevistas, aplicação de questionários e observação de campo. Para desempenharmos esta tarefa, realizamos estudos em 20 escolas caracterizando os 78 alunos e 21 professores do programa de educação de jovens e adultos e adultos de escolas da regição do centro expandido de São Paulo. No delineamento do perfil dos professores foram considerados os aspectos pessoais, profissionais e sociais envolvidos na escolha da profissão. O perfil dos 78 alunos da EJA foi traçado com base nos pontos de vista do aluno e do professor, observando a importância da EJA na consolidação das expectativas dos estudantes. Biscaremos, ainda, identificar as concepções e práticas dos professores, relativs à EA no contexto da EJA. Para auxiliar na consolidação da pesquisa caracterizamos 23 escolas localizadas na região do centro expandido da cidade de São Paulo, nas quais estes professores atuam, com relação aos seguintes aspectos: localização, ponto de referência e acessibilidade a partir do marco zero da cidade de São Paulo, a "Catedral da Sé". Consideramos que uma articulação da EA na EJA seja importante no processo de formação de sujeitos críticos, questionadores e participantes da atual realidade, no entanto, observamos que naquelas escolas eram escassas as oportunidades de teorização e debate, pois os professores atuantes naquele contexto educacional, aparentemente, não tiveram uma formação que os ...

In order to analyzed with this study, we conducted descriptive qualitative research using techniques such as data collection by way of analysis, interviews, questionnaires and field observation. To accomplish this task, we conducted studies in 20 schools featuring 78 students and 21 teachers, the education program for youth and adults of the expanded center of São Paulo. In the delineation of the profiles of the teachers, We considered a personal, professional and social choice for the teaching profession. The profile of the 78 students of EJA was drawn up based on the views of the student and the teacher regarding the importance of adult education in the consolidation of the students' expectations. We seek also to identify the concepts and practices of teachers concerning the EA in the context of adult education. To consolidate the research featured, the study looked at twenty-three schools located in the central region of the expanded city of Sao Paulo, where these teachers work. It concentrated on the following aspects: location, point of reference, and the accessibility of concentrated on the following aspects: location, point of reference, and the accessibility of the ground zero of the Sao Paulo city, the "Sé Cathedral". We believe that an articulation of EA in the EJA is important for the formation process of critical, questioning and participating in the current reality, however, observed in adult education, opportunities to theorize and debate because the teachers working at the education context, apparently had no training that prepared them for this. Thus we find, therefore, that teachers need more information, on the subject, which ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

In this thesis the Swedish author Elin Wägner’s debate book Alarm clock and the American author Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s novel Herland are analysed and compared from an ecofeminist perspective. Since the use of an ecofeminist perspective can be perceived as anachronistic as the term ecofeminism was drafted far later than the literary works in question I have chosen to distinguish between empirical and analytical concepts to approach their texts. In order to interpret their texts in their intellectual and historical contexts, concepts such as ecofeminism, matriarchy, utopia, vision and science have been of significance. This as the authors’ theoretical approaches in matriarchal theories, utopic perception, vision and science shaped their literary point of departure. The sociologist Lester Frank Ward’s theories on social planning had a huge impact on Gilman’s ideas as had the influence of the Darwinian movement focusing on evolution and eugenic, theories that at the time around the turn of the 19th century influenced social science, history and psychology. Elin Wägner found her inspiration in works by Johan Jakob Bachofen, Rosa Mayreder and Mathilde Vaerting, anchored in the Central European literacy discourse of her time; ideas significant for her civilization-critical thinking focusing on the relationship between women’s subordination and the environment, where the ruling of the earth is understood by the same logic that drives men’s dominion over women. Wägner and Gilman follows a line in the eco-feminist theorem, based on the statement that women are more responsive than men to nature and environmental issues, a biological determinism, conceptual essentialism and universalism, based on women’s different experiences in a gender society.

A presente pesquisa problematiza relações entre o problema da fome e a questão ambiental. Tem por objetivo tencionar as relações entre as dimensões do social e do natural na obra de Josué de Castro como uma amálgama para pensar a problemática da fome tangenciando seus vínculos com a problemática ambiental, demonstrando que a obra do autor expressa uma crescente preocupação ambiental. Além disso, visa evidenciar a trajetória do autor nos estudos da fome, mostrando o que fome e questão ambiental possuem em comum, para pensar a emancipação humana de ambos os problemas. O trabalho consiste em um estudo da produção intelectual de Josué de Castro, o que se faz recorrendo à pesquisa bibliográfica em sua possibilidade de leitura, análise e interpretação de produções escritas que permitem qualitativamente o conhecimento de fenômenos sociais. Estudando a obra de Josué de Castro busca-se fazer emergir a conexão entre sociedade e natureza, marcada pela forma de produzir a vida. Dessa forma, abre-se a possibilidade para projetar a emancipação social das limitações e/ou impossibilidades impostas às potencialidades da natureza, da qual o homem faz parte. Assim, tornando indissociáveis os problemas da destruição da natureza e da fome, em síntese, a questão ambiental. / This research discusses the relation between the problem of hunger and the environmental issues. It aims to create a tension in the relations between the social and the natural dimensions in Josué de Castro‟s work as an amalgam in order to think about the problem of hunger related to the environmental issues, which reveals a growing environmental concern in the author's work. It also seeks to highlight the author‟s studies on hungry, showing what hunger and environmental issues have in common and thinking about human emancipation from both problems. The work consists on a study on Josué Castro‟s intellectual production using literature research and the possible interpretations and analyses of his written production with the goal of building a qualitative understanding on social phenomena. The study of Josué de Castro‟s work seeks to bring out the connection between society and nature, marked by the way that life is produced. Thus, it is possible to design the social emancipation of the limitations and – or impossibilities imposed to the potential of nature of which man is part. Therefore, the problems of the destruction of nature and hunger become inseparable which reveals in summary the environmental issue.

No Brasil, uma modalidade da aquicultura que se encontra em expansão é a piscicultura em tanques-rede, tendo a tilápia-do-nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) como principal espécie cultivada. No Sudeste do País, especialmente em São Paulo, a expansão da tilapicultura está ocorrendo principalmente com o uso de tanques-rede nos grandes reservatórios de usinas hidrelétricas (UHE). Dentre os reservatórios do estado, encontra-se o da UHE Canoas I que está localizado no rio Paranapanema e abrange os municípios de Cândido Mota - SP e Itambaracá - PR. Visto que ambos os municípios apresentam dados expressivos no que diz respeito à piscicultura em geral e em tanques- rede, esta região foi definida como foco de estudo da presente pesquisa, para a qual foi proposto como objetivo geral analisar a competitividade dos agentes envolvidos na produção de tilápia em tanques-rede no reservatório hidrelétrico da Usina Hidrelétrica de Canoas I e sua inserção em redes sociais. Além disso, um dos objetivos específicos seria analisar a relação entre nível de inserção em rede social e nível de competitividade. Para responder aos objetivos da pesquisa, o trabalho contou com pesquisa bibliográfica sobre as duas vertentes teóricas em questão (Redes Sociais e Competitividade) e pesquisa de campo, onde os piscicultores inseridos no reservatório da UHE Canoas I foram identificados, contatados e entrevistados, respondendo questões de caracterização, de ordem relacional e sobre competitividade. As análises de redes sociais foram feitas a partir do tratamento das respostas às questões relacionais e sua submissão ao software UCINET®. Os resultados mostraram que os piscicultores de maior destaque na rede estão à margem paranaense do reservatório e trabalham há bastante tempo com a produção de tilápias em tanques-rede. A análise de competitividade, por sua vez, foi realizada a partir de sete direcionadores: tecnologia e inovação, insumos e infraestrutura, estrutura de mercado, gestão interna, ambiente institucional, relações de mercado e questões ambientais. De modo geral, os maiores impasses encontrados para aumento do nível de competitividade estão ligados ao ambiente institucional e à discrepância sobre a relevância das questões ambientais entre os piscicultores de São Paulo e do Paraná. Os cálculos de competitividade individual para cada piscicultor mostraram que os quatro piscicultores com maiores níveis de competitividade estão à margem paranaense do reservatório da UHE Canoas I e são experientes na atividade piscícola. Três desses piscicultores são os mesmos três que apresentaram maior inserção em redes sociais. Apesar disso, essa relação entre nível de inserção em redes sociais e nível de competitividade não pôde ser completamente comprovada, já que o mesmo não foi observado para outros piscicultores. / The global demand for fisheries has increased every year, serving to encourage aquaculture activity with great potential of raising production, since it is the previously planned cultivation of aquatic organisms. In Brazil, aquaculture modality that is booming is fish farming in cages, and the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the main cultivated species. In the Southeast of the country, especially in São Paulo, the expansion of tilapia culture is taking place mainly through the use of cages in the large reservoirs of hydroelectric power plants (HPP). Among the state's reservoirs, it is the HPP Canoas I which is located on the Paranapanema River and covers the municipalities of Cândido Mota - SP and Itambaracá - PR. Since both municipalities have significant data regarding fish farming in general and in fishnet tanks, this region was defined as the study focus of this research, for which it was proposed as a general objective to analyze the competitiveness of the agents involved in the production of tilapia in cages in the hydroelectric reservoir of the Hydroelectric Plant of Canoas I and their inclusion in social networks. In addition, one of the specific objectives would be to analyze the relationship between the level of integration into social network and level of competitiveness. In order to meet the research objectives, the work included literature on two theoretical aspects involved (Social Networks and Competitiveness) and field research, where fish farmers inserted in the HPP Canoas I reservoir were identified, contacted and interviewed, answering characterization questions of relative order and on competitiveness. The analysis of social network has been made from the treatment of the answers to relational issues and their submission to UCINET® software. The results showed that the most prominent fish farmers on the network are in Paraná bank of the reservoir and work for a long time with the production of tilapia in cages. The competitiveness analysis, in turn, was held from seven drivers: technology and innovation, input and infrastructure, market structure, internal management, institutional environment, market relations and environmental issues. In general, the greatest impasses found to increase the level of competitiveness are linked to the institutional environment and the discrepancy about the importance of environmental issues among the fish farmers of Sao Paulo and Parana. The individual competitiveness of calculations for each fish farmer showed that four fish farmers with higher levels of competitiveness are in Paraná bank of HPP reservoir Canoas I and are experienced in fish activity. Three of these fish farmers are the same three that had greater inclusion in social network. Nevertheless, the relationship between the level of integration in social network and level of competitiveness could not be completely proven, since the same was not observed for other fish farmers. / FAPESP: 2014/16075-2
