A gestão documental sob a ótica dos seus gestores: estudo nos arquivos dos Centros de Ensino da Universidade Federal da Paraíba Campus I

Management is the way an institution organizes their actions to achieve their goals with effectiveness and quality. Therefore, the document management is defined as the activity to ensure that the information produced and stored is administrated and organized efficiently in the Archives. The present study aims to analyze the document management at Universidade Federal da Paraiba -UFPB teaching centers, Campus I, from the point of view of these managers. It presents a brief literature review on file, public and private archives, universitary archives, document, document management, and the importance of the archivist and his performance on document management. The work is characterized as a descriptive and exploratory research, with quantitative and qualitative approaches in order to analyze of the data. The research instrument used was the questionnaire. In relation to the gender, the results show that the Archives are equally managed with five male and five female managers, and in relation to their age, both are 35 years old, as well as postgraduated. At the Educational Centers we realized a lack of Archives in their teaching centers, and the lack of professionals in these sectors.A gestão é a maneira como uma instituição organiza suas ações para atingir suas metas com eficácia e qualidade, assim, a gestão documental é traduzida como a atividade de assegurar que a informação produzida e armazenada seja gerida e organizada de forma eficiente nos arquivos. O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar a gestão documental nos centros de ensino da Universidade Federal da Paraíba / UFPB campus I sob a ótica dos seus gestores. Apresenta uma breve revisão de literatura sobre arquivo, arquivos públicos e privados, arquivos universitários, documento, gestão de documentos e a importância do arquivista e sua atuação na gestão documental. Caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, tendo as abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa para análise dos dados. O instrumento de pesquisa utilizado foi o questionário. Os resultados apontam que quanto ao gênero, os arquivos são igualmente geridos com cinco gestores masculinos e cinco femininos. Quanto a idade a maioria dos gestores apresentam idade acima de 35 anos e formação acadêmica com pós-graduação. Infere a falta de arquivos nos centros de ensino da instituição citada e a inexistência de profissionais nos mesmos

Growing knowledge: an overview of Seed Plant diversity in Brazil

Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with the publication of the Plants and Fungi Catalogue, and has been updated since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil is home to 32,086 native Angiosperms and 23 native Gymnosperms, showing an increase of 3% in its species richness in relation to 2010. The Amazon Rainforest is the richest Brazilian biome for Gymnosperms, while the Atlantic Rainforest is the richest one for Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment in the number of species and endemism rates for biomes, except for the Amazon that showed a decrease of 2.5% of recorded endemics. However, well over half of Brazillian seed plant species (57.4%) is endemic to this territory. The proportion of life-forms varies among different biomes: trees are more expressive in the Amazon and Atlantic Rainforest biomes while herbs predominate in the Pampa, and lianas are more expressive in the Amazon, Atlantic Rainforest, and Pantanal. This compilation serves not only to quantify Brazilian biodiversity, but also to highlight areas where there information is lacking and to provide a framework for the challenge faced in conserving Brazil's unique and diverse flora
