AGRICULTURAL APTITUDE OF LANDS AND CONFLICTING USES IN PERMANENT PRESERVATION AREAS OF RIBEIRÃO JACOBINA BASIN IN CÁCERES / MATO GROSSO STATE, BRAZIL

The expansion of agricultural activities in areas of high environmental sensitivity results in negative effects on the environment. The objective of this work is to evaluate by geo-technologies the agricultural aptitude of lands and the conflicts of use in Permanent Preservation Areas (PPAs) along rivers and springs in the Ribeirão Jacobina Basin in Cáceres municipality / Mato Grosso State. Using a Geographic Information System, it was possible to intersect those maps referring to soil classes, relief, agricultural aptitude, land use/land cover. The Brazilian Forest Code and its determinations were used as basis for the evaluation of land use conflicts in PPAs. It was verified that 67.47% of the territory of the basin is suitable for livestock/agricultural activities. There are conflicts of land use in areas with occurrence of Humic Cambisols, Haplic Luvisols and Litholic Neosols in hilly relief with predominance of livestock. Land use/land cover within the APPs, demonstrated that 1,802 hectares of the basin correspond to areas of water resources protection, and from this total, 459 hectares are being used for livestock activities and 23 hectares for reforestation, and there are conflicts between current use and current legislation. It was concluded that work is needed to recover PPAs in the basin, aiming at maintaining water quality and availabilit

ANALYSIS ON THE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO EROSION AND LAND USE CONFLICTS BY GEOTECHNOLOGIES IN THE MICROREGION JAURU MATO GROSSO STATE, BRAZIL

The objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of erosion and land use conflicts in the micro-region Jauru, Mato Grosso State, using geo-technologies. From the area under study, maps on Geomorphology-Pedology, as well as a map on Susceptibility to Soil Erosion were generated. The Soil Erosion Susceptibility map was obtained with the intersection of this map with the land use capacity map. The microregion presents 12 soil units, among which the Luvisols are the most representative (27.03%). A large portion from the micro-region (74.74%) presents a class with high susceptibility to sheet water erosion. Those areas identified with a high erosion potential represent 52.45% of the total area. It is concluded that in the Jauru micro-region soils with high erosion potential predominate, with a light rolling to flat terrain. There are sections extremely susceptible to erosion with inadequate soil, classified as land use with medium conflic

A CONTRATUALIZAÇÃO DE HOSPITAIS NO ÂMBITO DO SISTEMA ÚNICO DE SAÚDE (SUS): PERSPECTIVA, DESAFIOS E SOLUÇÕES

The present study aims to analyze the current legislation regarding the contracting of hospitals within the Unified Health System (SUS). Thus, the research focus is on the existing legal institutes for formalizing the contract and the guidelines for establishing the parameters for the provision of services and the supervision by a specific evaluation committee. In this way, it was identified that the contractualization instrument would be composed of two parts, one being the contract itself, and the other, the document with the description of the qualitative and quantitative goals, which will be followed up and evaluated by a Follow-up Commission formed by the manager, the hospital, users and other related members. Still, it was possible to infer the importance of this instrument for the effectiveness of health principles, especially the right to life, because it deals with medium and high complexity services. Finally, it is concluded that special care must be taken, and the procedure should be preceded by studies for the formalization of contractualization, aiming, above all, at the principle of efficiency, legality and transparency.El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la legislación vigente en materia de contractualización de hospitales bajo el Sistema Único de Salud (SUS). Así, el norte de la investigación pende sobre los institutos jurídicos existentes para la formalización del contrato y las directrices para establecer los parámetros para la prestación de servicios y la supervisión por parte de un comité de evaluación específico. Así, se identificó que el instrumento de contractualización estaría compuesto por dos partes, una de ellas el propio contrato, y la otra, el documento con la descripción de metas cualitativas y cuantitativas, que serán monitoreadas y evaluadas por un Comité de Seguimiento conformado por el gerente, hospital, usuarios y otros miembros relacionados. Además, se pudo inferir la importancia de este instrumento para la realización de los principios de salud, especialmente el derecho a la vida, porque trata servicios de mediana y alta complejidad. Finalmente, se concluye que se debe tener especial cuidado, y el procedimiento debe ir precedido de estudios para la formalización de la contractualización, apuntando, sobre todo, al principio de eficiencia, legalidad y transparencia.O presente estudo tem o objetivo de analisar a legislação vigente no que diz respeito a contratualização de hospitais no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Assim, o norte da pesquisa paira sobre os institutos jurídicos existentes para formalização do contrato e as diretrizes norteadoras para estabelecimento dos parâmetros para a prestação dos serviços e a fiscalização por comissão específica de avaliação. Dessa forma, restou identificado que o instrumento de contratualização seria composto por duas partes, uma delas o contrato propriamente dito, e a outra, o documento com a descrição das metas qualitativas e quantitativas, que serão acompanhados e avaliados por uma Comissão de Acompanhamento formada pelo gestor, hospital, usuários e outros membros correlatos. Ainda, foi possível inferir a importância desse instrumento para efetivação dos princípios em saúde, em especial, o direito à vida, por tratar de serviços de média e alta complexidade. Por fim, conclui-se que deve haver um cuidado especial, devendo o procedimento ser precedido de estudos para a formalização da contratualização, visando, sobretudo, o princípio da eficiência, da legalidade e da transparência.O presente estudo tem o objetivo de analisar a legislação vigente no que diz respeito a contratualização de hospitais no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.
