The protection of fossils has paramount importance to Araripe Geopark managers but unfortunately some of the foreseen measures are not possible to be implemented by the geopark alone because the solution depends on federal, state, and local institutions. Nevertheless, the geopark can do an important work with local communities especially in what concerns formal and non-formal education, which is the main aim of...
A mediatização do Geopark Araripe é, em grande parte, fruto da sua vertente paleontológica, destacando-se a bacia sedimentar do Araripe que contém, à escala mundial, uma das mais importantes associações fossilíferas do Eocretácico. Infelizmente, apesar dos condicionantes legais, continua a verificar-se a o comércio ilegal dos fósseis da bacia do Araripe, assim como a saída ilegal de fósseis do país. Este trabal...
The difficulties to implement a geoconservation strategy in Brazil are obvious: a huge territory with 8,5 million sq.km, existence of vast areas with difficult accessibility implying a limited geological knowledge of these areas and a small geoscientific community — considering the country’s size — traditionally focused on mining issues. In spite these difficulties, during recent years some important changes we...
The palaeontological heritage of Araripe Geopark has a worldwide recognition due to the diversity and quality of fossils that occur in the Santana Formation (Lower Cretaceous). Unfortunately, this rich heritage has been under threat due to various reasons: illegal collecting, quarrying, inadequate legislation, and ineffectiveness of authorities. The solution depends on federal, state, and local initiatives. The...
A infância apresenta-se como uma fase que exige bastante atenção da família e do serviço de saúde, uma vez que seus integrantes, além de dependerem de familiares, são vulneráveis ao ambiente. Objetivou-se descrever as vivências de familiares de crianças internadas em um serviço de pronto-socorro, discutir como essas vivências influenciam no cotidiano da família e relatar os aspectos que interferem no cuidado de...
INTRODUÇÃO: O Programa Bolsa Família é o maior programa de transferência condicionada de renda do Brasil, e tem como um dos principais objetivos reverter o quadro atual de insegurança alimentar, porém ainda são escassos os estudos que mostram o estado nutricional de população dessa população. OBJETIVO: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo descrever o estado nutricional da população adulta inscrita no Programa...
PURPOSE: To verify if the composit poli (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-PolyHEMA/polypropylene mesh implanted in the female rat's abdominal wall could be suitable for the prevention of peritoneal adhesions, and for the evaluation of the tecidual response produced by this biomaterial. METHODS: Polypropylene meshes (Group PP, n=20) and polypropylene meshes coated with a layer of poli (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-P...
An adequate management of geological heritage by national and regional authorities presupposes the existence of a solid geosites inventory. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many countries. Most often, there is no national inventory at all or the method and criteria used to assess geosites was not adequate. This paper makes an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the most common procedures to produ...
A hospital-based case-control study was performed from August 2002 to November 2003 in Northeast Brazil. Eighty-nine women were recruited with histologically confirmed breast cancer (age 30-80 years), matched for age with 94 controls. Food consumption of cases and controls was evaluated by foods and food groups, categorized in consumption tertiles. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were obtai...
Brazil has an area of 8,514,876 square kilometres, occupying almost half (47%) of the area of South America. This territory shows an exceptional geodiversity resulting from a great variety of geological materials, geoforms and processes. The concept of geoconservation in Brazil is relatively new, what makes incentives and investments in research in this area necessary. However, the vast dimension of Brazilian t...
