Viabilidade técnica e socioeconômica dos sistemas agroflorestais utilizados por agricultores familiares em Roraima

Santos, Alcides Galvão dos January 2009 (has links)
Este trabalho apresenta um estudo comparativo entre os dois modelos de cultivo mais usados hoje no Estado de Roraima que são o derruba e queima e Sistemas Agroflorestais, onde se analisou as técnicas utilizadas e o desenvolvimento socioeconômico proveniente dos mesmos, utilizando-se da metodologia de pesquisa participativa, DRR (diagnóstico rápido rural), DRP (diagnóstico rápido participativo) e Sondagem, estruturadas sob a forma de questionários semi-estruturados, em formulários próprios e pela obtenção de fotografias nas áreas dos agricultores familiares da vicinal 7 do projeto de colonização do Apiaú, situado no município de Mucajaí, em Roraima. A escolha desta área foi devido a mesma apresentar os dois modelos de trabalho da terra. Verificou-se neste trabalho, entre outros itens: o tempo de ocupação do lote, nível tecnológico, acessibilidade à utilização das novas tecnologias disponíveis e os métodos de escoamento e comercialização dos produtos, além das receitas e despesas provenientes ou não da área produtiva destes agricultores familiares. Neste estudo observaram-se algumas diferenças nos dois grupos, como a de que, os agricultores familiares que trabalham com SAFs se sobressaem ao grupo do derruba e queima no que diz respeito à educação, tempo no lote, bem-estar geral, e principalmente na parte econômica, onde este grupo consegue manter uma receita razoável através da comercialização feita pelos produtos provenientes dos diferentes consórcios por eles utilizados e das criações, o que os diferencia dos que utilizam o derruba e queima que usam o fogo, que acaba prejudicando o meio ambiente, e trabalham basicamente com culturas de subsistência. Após análise realizada vimos que a continuação dos trabalhos com SAFs depende diretamente de subsídios para que eles possam produzir com qualidade e produtividade, e de políticas públicas que consigam manter os agricultores e principalmente os jovens no lote, trazendo desta forma o desenvolvimento sustentável para o Estado de Roraima. Porém, isso ainda não ocorre, o que continua causando um grande êxodo rural na região estudada. / This work presents a comparative study between two most common cultivating models presently under use in state of Roraima, witch are slash and burn and agroforestry systems (SAF’s), where the technics utilized were analized among with socioeconomical development derived from them, by utilization of participative research methodology, DRR (rapid rural diagnostic), DRP (rapid participative diagnostic) and sounding, organized as semi-structurated questionnaire, under proper forms and trough pictures obtained from smalholders farms at vicinal 7 from Apiau colonization project situated in the municipality of Mucajaí, in Roraima. The definition of this área was due the presence of both land use models. Parameters assessed in this study were period of land tenure, technological level, accessibility for utilization of available knew technologies, methods for taking products away and commercialize them, besides incomes and costs derived or not from productive areas of these smalholders. In this study, differences were observed between these two groups, that is smalholders that develop agroforestry systems outstand slash and burn group concerning to education, period of land tenure, well-being mainly concerning to economical aspects, were this group maintain a reasonable income trough commercialization of products derived from diferent crop associations utilized by them and from livestock, making them different from those who make use of slash and burn who use fire, wich ends being harmfull to environment, and cultivate basically subsistence crops. Considering analisis of this study, one may stipulate that work continuity with SAF’s depend directly on subsidies in order to them produce with quality and productivity, and on public policies that are efficient in maintaining smalholders and specialy young ones within the farms, resulting in this way in sustainable development for State of Roraima, although this still does not happen, causing a great abandonment in the region under suty.

O diafragma piezelétrico de titanato zirconato de chumbo (PZT) é utilizado em muitos campos de pesquisa, mas estes sensores não são comuns no mo-nitoramento dos processos de usinagem. Este trabalho propõe um método para monitorar a condição superficial da peça (usinagem normal e queima) usando um diafragma piezelétrico e técnicas de extração de características. Uma comparação é feita com o sensor convencional de emissão acústica (EA), que é um sensor amplamente utilizado no monitoramento dos proces-sos de usinagem. Os ensaios de usinagem foram realizados em uma máquina de retificação de superfícies utilizando aço ABNT 1045 e rebolo CBN, onde os sinais foram coletados a 2 MHz. As peças foram cuidadosamente analisadas por meio de inspeção visual, rugosidade superficial, medidas de dureza e análises metalográficas. Estudo do conteúdo de freqüência de ambos os sinais foi realizado com o objetivo de selecionar bandas estreitamente relacionadas com a condição da superfície da peça. Filtros digitais foram aplicados aos sinais puros e as características foram extraídas e analisadas. Os valores RMS (Root Mean Square) filtrados nas faixas selecionadas para ambos os sensores apresentaram um ajuste melhor à regressão linear, o que é altamente desejável para estabelecer um limiar para detecção da queima e im-plementação em um sistema de monitoramento. Além disso, os resultados do índice RMSD (Root Mean Square Deviation) mostraram um excelente comportamento para o monitoramen-to da queima decorrente do processo de retificação para ambos os sensores. O método foi va-lidado usando um rebolo diferente, o que mostra claramente sua eficácia e demonstra o uso potencial do diafragma piezelétrico de baixo custo para o monitoramento da queima no pro-cesso de retificação. / Researchers have evaluated a great number of monitoring techniques in order to control the surface condition of ground parts. Piezoelectric diaphragm of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) are used in many fields, but these sensors are not common in the monitoring of machining pro-cesses. This paper proposes a method for monitoring the workpiece surface condition (normal grinding and burn) by using a piezoelectric PZT diaphragm transducer and feature extraction techniques. A comparison is made with conventional acoustic emission sensor, which is a traditional sensor in the monitoring of machining processes. Grinding tests were performed in a surface-grinding machine with SAE 1045 steel and CBN grinding wheel, where the signals were collected at 2 MHz. The workpieces were thoroughly analysed through visual inspec-tion, surface roughness and hardness measurements, and metallographic analyses. Study on the frequency content of both signals was carried out in order to select bands closely related to the workpiece surface condition. Digital filters were applied to the raw signals and features were extracted and analyzed. The RMS values filtered in the selected bands for both sensors presented a better fitting to the linear regression, which is highly desirable for setting a threshold to detect burn and implementing into a monitoring system. Also, the RMSD index results show an excellent behavior for grinding burn monitoring for both sensors. The method was validated by using a different grinding wheel, which clearly shows its effectiveness and demonstrates the potential use of the low-cost piezoelectric diaphragm for grinding burn mon-itoring.

Uso da energia radiativa do fogo para estimativa do coeficiente de consumo de biomassa por queima de vegetação campestre

Costa, Bibiana Salvador Cabral da January 2012 (has links)
No Rio Grande do Sul (RS), a prática de queimadas está relacionada principalmente com a renovação do pasto e agricultura. Embora o RS não seja o Estado com maior incidência de queimadas no Brasil, centenas de focos são identificados por dados de satélites anualmente. O uso de dados de sensores remotos para identificar focos de queimadas vem sendo utilizado há décadas, com o desenvolvimento de novos algoritmos. Uma técnica que vem sendo utilizada consiste na obtenção da Potência Radiativa do Fogo (PRF), a partir de dados de sensores remotos. A PRF é uma medida da energia radiante liberada no processo de queima de biomassa. Estudos demonstram que a PRF possui uma relação linear positiva com a biomassa em processo de combustão, permitindo gerar valores de coeficientes de consumo de biomassa. O conhecimento dos valores destes coeficientes pode determinar o total de biomassa queimada quando multiplicados pela PRF obtida por sensores remotos, no momento da passagem do satélite, em tempo quase real. A determinação dos coeficientes de consumo, por sua vez, depende da tipologia vegetal submetida à queima. Devido à pequena quantidade de dados sobre as queimadas no RS, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste em estimar o coeficiente de consumo de biomassa por queima de vegetação campestre no RS, através da utilização da Potência Radiativa do Fogo (PRF), obtida a partir de dados do sensor MODIS e dados de campo de biomassa. A área de estudo escolhida foi o município de André da Rocha, por possuir focos de queimadas identificados pelo MODIS (pelo produto MYD14 - Thermal Anomalies/Fire products), e dados sobre a quantidade de biomassa em áreas frequentemente queimadas. Também foram obtidos dados de experimentos in situ do comportamento do fogo em área campestre no RS. Foi identificada e quantificada a área queimada, a partir do uso de uma cena do satélite Landsat. A obtenção de dados de experimentos de campo e da cicatriz da área queimada permitiu a obtenção da taxa média de consumo de biomassa e a obtenção dos valores de PRF pelo produto MYD14 permitiu obter o valor da PRF média na área de estudo. Pela relação linear existente entre esses dois parâmetros, foi obtido o coeficiente médio de consumo de biomassa. O valor do coeficiente de consumo foi de 0,24 kg/MJ, resultado esse próximo do encontrado por outros autores. A metodologia utilizada neste trabalho difere da metodologia utilizada em trabalhos anteriores para a obtenção do coeficiente de consumo de biomassa. De qualquer maneira, o dado obtido é uma estimativa preliminar para novos estudos e experimentos em campo. / In Rio Grande do Sul (RS), the practice of burning is mainly related to the renewal of pasture and agriculture. Although the RS is not the state with the highest incidence of fires in Brazil, hundreds of fire focuses are identified by satellite data annually. The use of remote sensing data to identify burning areas has been used for decades with the development of new algorithms. One technique that has been used consists in obtaining the Fire Radiative Power (FRP) from remote sensing data. The FRP is a measure of the radiant energy released in the process of burning biomass. Studies have shown that the FRP has a positive linear relationship with the biomass in the combustion process, allowing to generate coefficient values biomass consumption.The knowledge of the values of these coefficients can determine the total biomass burned when multiplied by FRP obtained by remote sensors at the time of passage of the satellite, in near real time. The determination of the coefficients of consumption, in turn, depends on the type of plant subject to burning. Due to the small amount of data on fires in the RS, the objective of this study is to estimate the coefficient of biomass consumption by burning Campos grassland in RS, by using the FRP obtained from MODIS (from the product MYD14 - Thermal Anomalies / Fire products) and field biomass data. The chosen study area was André da Rocha, for having fires focus identified by MODIS and data from biomass often burned. Experiment data in situ of the fire behavior in campos grassland in RS were also been obtained. The scar burned area was identified and quantified from the use of a Landsat scene. Data of the field and the burned scar area allowed to obtain the average rate of consumption of biomass, and FRP values from MODIS allowed to obtain the average value of the FRP in the study area. The coefficient value was calculated from the linear relationship between these two parameters. The coefficient of consumption obtained was 0.24 kg/MJ, a result close to that found by other authors. The methodology used in this study differs from the method used in previous studies. Anyway the data is a preliminary estimate for new studies and field experiments.

Protocolo para estabelecimento de ferida cutânea crônica experimental em ratos Wistar (Rattus norvergicus)

Loss, Fernanda Regina January 2013 (has links)
Estudos sobre cronificação têm se mostrado cada vez mais importantes, visto que, tanto na medicina humana, quanto na medicina veterinária, tem sido comum a ocorrência de lesões crônicas, que muitas vezes apresentam dificuldade de cicatrização com terapia convencional. Por este motivo, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo estabelecer modelo de ferida crônica em ratos Wistar, com o uso de agentes químicos, comumente utilizados na rotina clínica como antissépticos, em doses consideradas tóxicas ao leito da ferida. Para isso, foram utilizados 48 ratos Wistar, machos, divididos em quatro grupos de 12 animais cada. (Controle, Polivinilpirrolidona - PVPI 1%, Clorexidina 1% e H2O2 35%). Os animais foram submetidos a anestesia inalatória e sofreram lesão circular de 1cm de diâmetro, confeccionada com o uso de trépano corneal. Foram realizadas duas feridas simétricas paralelas e em seguida à confecção iniciou-se a aplicação tópica dos agentes químicos, com auxílio de pipeta de 50μl, sendo instilados duas vezes ao dia, durante 15 ou 30 dias. As avaliações macroscópicas das feridas induzidas cirurgicamente eram realizadas a cada dois dias, através de medição com paquímetro, além de observação quanto a presenças de sangramentos e outras secreções. Foram avaliadas também através de histologia e imuno-histoquímica. Como resultados o grupo PVPI teve maior taxa de contração, cicatrizando em menor tempo que o grupo controle, embora essa diferença de tempo não tenha sido significativa estatisticamente; apesar das feridas se apresentarem cicatrizadas macroscopicamente, à avaliação histológica foi possível perceber que haviam alterações, dignas de processo cicatricial em curso; o grupo H2O2 proporcionou resultados positivos perante aquilo que foi proposto. Sugere-se que novos estudos sejam realizados, com o H2O2, nos quais os períodos de uso do agente sejam prolongados, superiores aos usados no presente estudo, utilizando ainda material de silicone, fixado nas bordas da ferida, com o intuito de evitar cicatrização por contração. Sugere-se também o uso de doses elevadas de analgésicos durante todo o tempo de experimento. / Research on chronic lesions have been of increased interest in both human and veterinary medicine, as different conditions can delay and lead to difficulties on wound healing, even after conventional therapy has been instituted. Although there are several reports on experimental models for the study of acute wound healing, the establishment of chronic lesions using chemical agents, for scientific purposes, is scarce. This study pursued the development of a chronic skin wound model with chemical substances routinely used as antiseptics, in concentrations considered detrimental to injured tissue. For that, forty-eight Wistar rats were divided in four groups of 12 animals each, for of one of the topical treatments: povidone-iodine solution, 1% chlorhexidine, 35% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and control with 0.9% saline solution (NaCl). Under general anesthesia, two circular full skin defects, with 1cm diameter, were produced (with a corneal trephine) in the dorsal cervical region of all the animals. Immediately after the incisions, 50μl of one of the treatments were administrated twice daily, for either 15 or 30 days. Macroscopic evaluations were performed every other day, recording wound size (with a pachymeter) and occurrence of bleeding or exudates. Microscopically, at day 15 or 30, histologic and immunohistochemical studies were carried out with the complete removal of the wound or cicatricial region. Macroscopically, the povidone-iodine group showed faster wound contraction and healing rate than the control, yet, this difference was not statistically significant. Although, under clinical observation, the incised regions presented scar tissue, the histopathological evaluation of the respective specimens showed uncompleted healing process features. The hydrogen peroxide demonstrated promising results to the proposed intent. However, a bigger sample is needed to ascertain the found evidences. Furthermore, studies with longer or more frequent periods of substance exposure, along with devices to circumvent wound contraction and higher doses of analgesics, are recommended.

Problematika motivace altruistického jednání v pomáhajících profesích / The problems of the motivation of altruistic behaviour in helping professions

HŮDOVÁ, Jana January 2007 (has links)
Diploma thesis deals with altruistic behaviour of the professionals, such as teachers, nurses and doctors, who provide helping service. The work focuses not only on the professional part of the care but also on human care and feeling towards patients. Two proposed hypothesis were tested. The hypothesis H1: strictly brought up people working in the helping profession lead their patients to the passive dependency. The hypothesis H2: religiously brought up people working in the helping profession feel to be blame more often than the other people. A special questionnaire, containing 25 questions, was designed. Each of the questions offered various variants of answers which had to be mutually inconsistent. The questions can be divided into groups: one of them characterized the composition of the respondents, four served for the hypothesis testing and the rest of the questions enabled to fine distinguish various characteristics of the respondents and to mask the purpose of the questions. In the group of 97 respondents prevailed women in the age below 45 years of the nursery profession who practiced 1 to 20 years. Most of them were atheists. In the group of religious people prevailed the Catholics. The professional software EXCEL 3 was used to test both hypothesis and the special logic calculus was developed to make the answer evaluation easier. The output/input controls of the entering data were also used to find the occasional mistakes. The hypothesis was proved if more then 70 percent of the premises responded to the presumptive implications. Based on this criterion the hypothesis H1 was proved while the hypothesis was not approved.

Etická dilemata sociální práce s klientem se sociální patologií / Ethical dilemma of social work with client suffering from social pathology.

POKORNÁ, Eva January 2009 (has links)
My diploma work deals with the ethical approach of workers who come into contact with the clients committed criminal offences. The work focus on ethical issues of the social workers who are in contact with the clients with social pathology, perpetrators, involuntary clients and with persons suffering from asocial behaviour. The ethical approaches are connected with various ethical paradoxes, problems and they are a part of ethical dilemma. These facts arise in ethical attitudes in connection with client and simultaneously in situation of burn-out syndrome. The target of this work is to focus on ethical issues and on the problems which are connected with the duties of the social workers. The main target of my diploma work was to find out ethical errors of workers in social services in access to the client and find out the range of burn-out syndrome by social workers. The aim of my research has been achieved. The method of quantitative analytic research was applied. The questionnaire survey and its assessment was used. It is the quantitative research. As respondents were chosen members of the Prison Service of the Czech Republic and workers of the Educational institution for Children and Youth and the Educational Centre for Children and Youth in Šindlovy Dvory. The second file of respondents was comprised by members of the Probation and Mediation Service of the Czech Republic.

Poleptání dýchacího a trávicího traktu u dětí / Chemical burn of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract in children

ŠVANCAROVÁ, Alena January 2009 (has links)
The professional public have registered and increased incidence of injuries to children caused by chemical substances during the last years. The issue has recently been neither given appropriate publicity in media nor solved sufficiently, however, with respect to the high frequency and seriousness of injuries, it deserves to be given more significant attention. The research study focused on detailed mapping of the causes and circumstances of the occurrence of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract injuries in children caused by chemical substances. The research sample comprised of children less than 18 years old who suffered injuries caused by a chemical substance in the monitored period, while being hospitalized in connection with such an injury at the Nemocnice České Budějovice, a. s., Nemocnice Most, o. z., and Fakultní nemocnice Motol, Prague, hospitals. The research study included 90 children (out of which 44 girls and 46 boys). The youngest hospitalized child was five months old, the oldest was seventeen. The required data were collected in a prospective manner (May 1, 2008 - October 31, 2008) and in a retrospective manner (January 1, 2006 {--} April 30, 2008). I obtained the research result though the secondary data analysis (medical documentation) and the analysis of products (those that where staded in the medical documentation to have been packed in an original package). The results of the secondary analysis of the medical documentation refer to the fact that 94 per cent of all the injuries caused by chemical substances were induced by children in their domestic environment. Damage to the organism was caused by agents commonly used in Czech households (waste pipe cleaners, dishwasher tablets, cooker cleaners, etc). It is understandable that packals of these products attract children's attention because producers have selected rich colours (yellow, blue, violet, pink) only for their products as a part of their fight-for-customers strategy. Many products have not been fitted with safety cap closures and in combination with unsuitable storing there was nothing left to prevent an injury. The appearance of new detergents, such as for example dishwasher tablets, on the market is accompanied with the risk of occurrence of new injury types that need to be drawn attention to. In my opinion, sufficient public healt educational campaigns should lead to the decreasing of the number of injuries. Information campaign should be organised in a manner addressing the highest possible number of parents and persons taking care of children. I consider efficient to place information leaflets on the websites of organisations and institutions working with children population, to use TV spots and to distribute information leaflets of brochures to paediatric surgeries and nursery schools. The leaflets should contain information not only about proper household storing of such products, but also several pieces of advice in the case when an injury has already been suffered.

The effects of burn severity on soil properties : Infiltration rate, moisture, grain size distribution and carbon content Hälleskogsbrännan as an example

Haddad, Ola January 2016 (has links)
This study focuses on soil hydrological parameters that are expected to be related to burn severity in forests; infiltration rate, soil moisture, grain size distribution and carbon content along a burn severity gradient in Västmanland Sweden, where a major fire occurred in 2014. Hälleskogsbrännan was divided into two burn severities: a moderate severity and a high severity, and a control area. Ten soil samples were taken for laboratory analyses at each severity level. Soil moisture and infiltration rate was measured in situ. Infiltration rates and soil moisture were highest in the most severely affected site, whereas fire effects on soil texture were insignificant. Soil organic carbon content was highest at the low fire severity site, followed by control and high severity fire sites. Inorganic carbon content followed the opposite trend. These results had clear trends but were insignificant, this call for more comprehensive sampling to separate possible confounding site effects.

Resilience to Urban Shrinkage in Riga

Akmentina, Lita 06 March 2018 (has links) (PDF)
Riga has suffered a population loss of more than 29% between 1990 and 2014 which has led to increasing number of abandoned and degraded buildings in the city and optimization of the network of educational and cultural institutions. These trends are characteristics of urban shrinkage – a complex process affecting Riga for more than two decades and resulting in a pattern of growing, shrinking, and stable districts. A similar pattern has also been identified in other shrinking cities in Europe, but it has not been researched in more detail. In the given context, this research aims to narrow the knowledge gap on processes occurring in shrinking cities and to provide some understanding of the determinants of these processes on the city and local level through analysis of single embedded case study of Riga. To achieve this aim, resilience is used as an analytical concept. It allows to conceptualize urban shrinkage as a slow-burn (slowly occurring disturbance) and propose three possible responses - adaptation, transformation, and decline. These responses emerge from actions of actors on various spatial scales and lead to different outcomes. It also provides the basis for analyzing the determinants of these responses by conceptualizing them as sources of resilience and suggesting seven different aspects found in literature: leadership, networks, resources, learning, people-place connection, common cause, and system of institutions and governance. Finally, these theoretical assumptions are used to define two main research questions: (1) what are responses to urban shrinkage in Riga? (2) what are sources of resilience to urban shrinkage in Riga? The need for in-depth research of urban processes led to choosing mixed method strategy for both selecting the embedded units of analysis (districts) in Riga and finding answers to the proposed research questions. Based on combined results of secondary data analysis, controlled expert group discussion, and structured site visits, five districts in Riga were selected – Avoti, Maskavas forštate, Bolderāja, Sarkandaugava, and Ķīpsala. Further data collection and analysis included semi-structured interviews with different actors at the city and district level and document analysis. The study finds that there are four different responses to urban shrinkage in Riga: mitigation, adaptation, transformation, and possible decline. Mitigation can be identified on city (also national) level and is closely linked with the strategic actions proposed by the local and national government in response to population decline. Adaptation can be observed on the city and local level. It is the dominant response type in Riga emerging from strategic actions and different activities by various actors in response to all of the identified processes associated with urban shrinkage in Riga. Transformation, however, can be found only on local level – district (in one specific case) or unit level. It emerges from activities of mostly non-government actors that are making use of the opportunities provided by urban shrinkage in Riga. Finally, further decline is a potential response in several Riga districts resulting from strategic actions of local municipality and inability of some of the actors to deal with the existing situation. The analysis of sources of resilience reveals that there are four main determinants of adaptation and transformation – leadership, networks, resources, and learning. Other sources of resilience (people-place connection, common cause, and engaged governance) function as additional drivers or catalysts. All of these sources of resilience can be identified in Riga, but not consistently across all spatial scales and units or actor groups. The main deficiencies are linked with availability of resources (human and financial) among different actor groups, the existing system of governance (involvement of actors in the decision-making process) and leadership (on city level). The study also shows differences related to responses to urban shrinkage and different sources of resilience, especially leadership, learning, and resources. Overall, the findings support the main theoretical assumptions of the study and allow refining the understanding of responses to urban shrinkage and sources of resilience. The results can be used as the basis for developing an approach for assessment of the level of resilience to urban shrinkage or other slow burns in the urban context.

A tutela da diferença no direito socioambiental pós-moderno: um estudo de caso sobre a prática da agricultura de corte e queima pela Comunidade Quilombola de Ivaporunduva / Tutelage of \"different/diverse\" communities in post-modern socioenvironmental right: a case study on slash and burn agriculture practiced by the Quilombola Community of Ivaporunduva, SP, Brazil.

Cecilia de Lara Haddad 25 September 2012 (has links)
A presente pesquisa interessa-se em fazer uma análise aprofundada do Direito nascido com o advento da Modernidade, partindo da hipótese de que o Direito Pós-Moderno, embora se auto-proclame como defensor da diversidade, por ainda estar atrelado àquele modelo de legalidade calcado principalmente no positivismo jurídico, passa por uma grave crise, uma vez que, ao excluir regras costumeiras, elimina na prática muitas das possibilidades de aceitação e inclusão do heterogêneo. A exclusão do diferente, do heterogêneo, do \"outro\" contrário à lógica capitalista se torna ainda mais evidente quando normas jurídicas embebidas de conhecimentos científicos ao serem orientadas a regular comportamentos de grupos sociais regulados por regras costumeiras, acabam por invalidá-las, tornando igualmente inexistentes os saberes tradicionais nelas contidos. A fim de melhor compreender esta problemática, entre os diversos direitos que compõem o espectro da Pós- Modernidade, foi escolhido o direito socioambiental como ícone que integra a tutela da diversidade social, cultural e natural. Para tanto, esta pesquisa pretende, através de um Estudo de Caso, verificar as conseqüências relacionadas à possibilidade da Comunidade Remanescente de Quilombo de Ivaporunduva, cuja diferença é tutelada juridicamente como patrimônio cultural brasileiro, continuar a cultivar seus alimentos de forma tradicional, diante da imposição, em caráter universal e geral, de normas jurídicas ambientais infraconstitucionais, em específico, o Código Florestal e a Lei da Mata Atlântica, ainda portadoras de estudos científicos realizados aos moldes racionalidade moderna. Os procedimentos metodológicos se basearam na obra de Boaventura de Souza Santos. Já as técnicas de coleta de dados que foram aplicadas são: observação e roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturado. A análise dos resultados foi feita por meio da técnica de triangulação de dados. Dos resultados obtidos, constata-se 1) a sustentabilidade da roça de coivara; 2) a diminuição da prática da coivara pela comunidade de Ivaporunduva que contribuiu para a) compra de seus alimentos no supermercado, b) aumento de obesidade e desnutrição nesta população, c) intensificação da agricultura e perda da sustentabilidade do sistema, d) ineficácia jurídica e social das normas jurídicas analisadas. A presente pesquisa não propõe uma conclusão fechada desta temática, mas sugere a necessidade de diálogo de saberes para permissão ou não da prática da agricultura de corte e queima, para que se consiga a partir de uma justiça cognitiva, alcançar a almejada justiça social. / This research aims at developing a thorough analysis of the Right that arose with modernity. Based on the hypothesis that even though Post-Modern Right autodenominates itself the advocate of diversity, it is still tied to the legality model of judicial positivism. The Right is ongoing an important crises, and at the time that eliminates customary rules, eliminates several possibilities of acceptance and inclusion of heterogeneity. The exclusion of \"difference/diversity\", of the \"heterogeneous\", of the \"otherness\", is completely opposite to the capitalist logic. This is even more evident when judicial rules embedded in scientific knowledge are targeted to regulate social groups\' behaviors, and end-up invalidating them and eliminating the traditional knowledge embedded in those customary rules. In order to better understand this issue, this research analyzed the tutelage of social, cultural and natural diversity, by means of socio-environmental right, chosen from several rights that compound post-modernity. In order to do so, this case study verifies the consequences related to the possibility of remnants of Quilombola Community, which \"difference/diversity\" is trusted as a Brazilian Cultural Patrimony, continue cultivating their food in a traditional way, facing the universal and general imposition of infraconstitutional environmental legislation, namely, The Brazilian Forestry Code (Código Florestal Brasileiro) and The Atlantic Rain Forest Law (Lei da Mata Atlântica), constituted from scientific studies based on modern rationality thoughts. The methodology and foundation of this study were Boaventura de Sousa Santos\' theoretical work.
