    O trabalho discute o posicionamento de tĂ©cnicos de nĂ­vel superior do Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade ICMBIO , em exercĂ­cio na AmazĂŽnia Brasileira, em relação ao ambientalismo e identifica possĂ­veis relaçÔes entre os posicionamentos e visĂ”es do conhecimento, concepção de Reserva Extrativista RESEX e de extrativismo. Consoante a base teĂłrica discutida, foram adotadas as seguintes tipologias para as categorias estudadas: correntes ou vertentes ambientalistas: preservacionista, Sustentabilista e Socioambientalista; visĂ”es do conhecimento: anarquista, dialĂłgica ou saber ambiental ; interdisciplinar; e, cientĂ­fica pura; visĂ”es de RESEX: RESEX como Unidade de Conservação UC de uso sustentĂĄvel, RESEX servindo Ă  reforma agrĂĄria e RESEX oportunista; visĂ”es sobre extrativismo: extrativismo legĂ­timo, extrativismo falido e extrativismo oportunista. O mĂ©todo utilizado foi o comparativo com partiçÔes cruzadas, verificando similaridades e dissimilaridades de grupos de respondentes. Para levantamento dos posicionamentos dos respondentes foi disponibilizado a todos os tĂ©cnicos um questionĂĄrio com afirmaçÔes representativas das diferentes visĂ”es, utilizando escala do tipo Likert. Foi realizada a classificação dos tĂ©cnicos em categorias, utilizando anĂĄlise de agrupamento pelo mĂ©todo hierĂĄrquico aglomerativo, tendo como parĂąmetro a proximidade de posicionamento. Constatou-se que nĂŁo hĂĄ visĂŁo Ășnica a respeito do ambientalismo no Instituto Chico Mendes na AmazĂŽnia Legal e nĂŁo existem linhas ambientalistas puras, mas compostas por concepçÔes de vĂĄrias vertentes. As visĂ”es sobre RESEXs e extrativismo estĂŁo relacionadas com concepçÔes sociaombientalistas, reforçando a defesa de que este tipo de Unidade de Conservação faz parte dessa linha de pensamento.<br>The paper discusses the positioning of high level technicians the "Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBIO)", acting in the Brazilian Amazon, in relation to environmentalism and identifies possible relationships between the positioning and views on knowledge, conception of Extractive Reserve (RESEX) and extractivism. According to the theoretical discussion, we make the following types for the studied categories: environmentalist slope: preservationist, sustainabilist and socio-environmentalist; views of knowledge: anarchist, dialogic (or environmental knowledge), interdisciplinary and pure science; views of RESEX: RESEX as Conservation Unit (UC) for sustainable use, RESEX serving the agrarian reform and opportunist RESEX; views on extractivism: legitimate extractivism, legitimate extractivism and opportunistic extractivism. The method used was a comparative cross-partition, checking similarities and dissimilarities of respondents groups. To survey the positions of the respondents was made a questionnaire available to all staff with statements representing different views, using Likert scale. It was done a classification into categories of technicians, using cluster analysis by the agglomerative hierarchical method, having as parameter the proximity of placement. It was found that no single view about environmentalism in the Chico Mendes in the Legal Amazon and there are not pure environmentalist lines, but composed of several strands of ideas. The views on RESEXs and extractivism are related concepts socio- environmentalism, reinforcing the argument that this type of conservation is a part this line of thought

    The purpose of this article is to present the theoretical implications and consequences of the concept of sustainable development, with an emphasis on the elucidation of differences in their understanding and use. Based on a bibliographic review, the paper first reviews Marx’s understanding about the relationship between man, nature and capitalism. It then presents Marxist approaches that are critical of the concept of sustainable development, which, although commonly used, is ambiguous and the motive of considerable controversy. Finally, factors are present for a new approach to environmental issues considering the unsustainability inherent to the capitalist mode of production and the destruction that accompanies it

    OBJETIVO: Determinar a prevalĂȘncia das deformidades congĂȘnitas da parede torĂĄcica anterior em escolares de 11 a 14 anos. MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo escolares da rede estadual de ensino da cidade de Manaus (AM). Para a composição de uma amostra estatisticamente significativa, com precisĂŁo de 1% e IC95%, foram incluĂ­dos 1.332 escolares. A deformidade pectus foi identificada atravĂ©s de exame fĂ­sico do tĂłrax, e os indivĂ­duos com esta deformidade responderam a um questionĂĄrio com questĂ”es sobre hereditariedade e sintomatologia decorrente da anomalia torĂĄcica. RESULTADOS: A idade mĂ©dia dos participantes foi de 11,7 anos. A prevalĂȘncia da deformidade pectus foi de 1,95% (pectus excavatum: 1,275%; pectus carinatum: 0,675%). Dos 26 escolares com deformidades pectus, 17 (65,4%) tinham pectus excavatum, e 18 (69,2%) eram do sexo masculino. Houve associação com a escoliose em 3 casos (11,5%). HistĂłria familiar de pectus foi relatada por 17 escolares (65,4%), e 17 (65,4%) relataram dor torĂĄcica, dispneia ou palpitaçÔes. CONCLUSÕES: A prevalĂȘncia das deformidades pectus encontrada neste estudo (1,95%) foi inferior Ă quela de trabalhos em outras regiĂ”es do paĂ­s (3,6-4,9%), porĂ©m, superior Ă quela relatada na literatura (mĂ©dia, 1%).<br>OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of congenital anterior chest wall deformities in 11- to 14-year-old students. METHODS: Students participating in the study were recruited from public schools in the city of Manaus, Brazil. The statistically significant sample (precision, 1%; 95% CI) comprised 1,332 students. Pectus deformities were identified by physical examination of the chest, and the individuals with one of these deformities completed a questionnaire regarding heredity and symptoms resulting from the chest abnormality. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 11.7 years. The prevalence of pectus abnormalities was 1.95% (pectus excavatum: 1.275%; pectus carinatum: 0.675%). Of the 26 students with a pectus deformity, 17 (65.4%) had pectus excavatum, and 18 (69.2%) were male. Concomitant scoliosis was observed in 3 cases (11.5%). A family history of pectus was reported by 17 students (65.4%), and 17 (65.4%) reported chest pain, dyspnea or palpitations. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the prevalence of pectus deformities (1.95%) was lower than that reported in other studies conducted in Brazil (3.6-4.9%) but was higher than that reported in the literature (mean, 1%)
