ANÁLISE MORFOMÉTRICA DAS BACIAS HIDROGRÁFICAS DO RIO IVAÍ NO MUNICÍPIO DE MARINGÁ, PARANÁ, BRASIL

Gabriel Perina Gongora

River basins are relevant urban planning instruments to mitigate the degradation of watercourses due to anthropogenic action and knowledge of morphometric characteristics is essential to enable this planning. In this context, the objective of this work is to determine the morphometric characteristics of the hydrographic sub-basins that belong to the Ivaí river basin, in the municipality of Maringá, Paraná, Brazil. For this, geoprocessing instruments were used, such as QGIS and geographic information systems (GIS) for morphometric analysis. The results obtained were: sub-basin area, perimeter, slope of the main drainage, shape factor, drainage density, concentration time and longitudinal profile of the main river. These data are fundamental to understanding the hydrological dynamics of basins and their link with human and environmental actions, in addition to providing relevant contributions to future studies and effective regional planning of water resources and basins. However, some limitations, such as deprivation of resources and personnel, are identified, thus recommending that future research encompasses fieldwork and promotes the symbiosis of multidisciplinary approaches, also considering socio-economic, environmental panoramas and other areas of knowledge, for a holistic understanding. of the subject. In short, this research enriches the understanding of the sub-basins of the Ivaí River, providing subsidies for governments to manage sustainable policies on water bodies in Maringá and the region.

GEOGRAFIA FÍSICA A EVOLUÇÃO DA GEOGRAFIA FÍSICA COM O USO DE SISTEMAS DE INFORMAÇÃO GEOGRÁFICA: APLICAÇÕES, DESAFIOS E CONTRIBUIÇÕES NO MONITORAMENTO E PREVENÇÃO DE DESASTRES AMBIENTAIS EM QUELIMANE, MOÇAMBIQUE

Ildefonso Age Caetano

This study examined the impact of the incorporation of GIS into Physical Geography, with an emphasis on applications related to the monitoring and prevention of environmental disasters in Quelimane, Mozambique. Given the city's increasing vulnerability to extreme weather events such as floods and cyclones, the use of GIS proved to be essential. The results highlighted the technological transformation in the analysis of geographic data, providing a more efficient and detailed approach. GIS allowed for the creation of georeferenced databases and the modeling of geographic information to identify risk areas. In the context of Quelimane, challenges were identified, including limited technological infrastructure and disorderly urbanization. However, the importance of GIS in preventing environmental disasters and the need for awareness and public action were emphasized. In summary, this study demonstrates how GIS has driven Physical Geography, contributing to the safety and resilience of the community in the face of environmental challenges.

O PROCESSO DE EXPANSÃO FÍSICO-TERRITORIAL DA ÁREA URBANA DE PARANAVAÍ - PR (1952 – 2022)

Estevão Pastori Garbin — 2025-07-14

This article analyzes the process of physical-territorial expansion of the urban area of Paranavaí (PR) between 1952 and 2022, highlighting the growth dynamics associated with economic changes, urban planning, and public policies. The research employed historical data, topographic maps, statistics, and remote sensing images to map the evolution of the urban footprint and identify growth patterns. The results indicate that Paranavaí experienced periods of rapid expansion (in the 1970s, 1980s, and 2010s) interspersed with phases of stagnation (in the 1990s and 2000s), influenced by factors such as the coffee crisis, accelerated urbanization, and the development of new housing projects. The analysis also revealed differences in growth patterns between the city and the district of Sumaré, highlighting the influence of geographic and economic factors on land occupation. The study contributes to the debate on urban planning and can support public policies aimed at organizing intra-urban space.

O IMIGRANTE COMO PARADOXO: ENTRE A EXPLORAÇÃO ECONÔMICA E O INIMIGO CONSTRUÍDO

Vivian Rafaella Prestes — 2025-07-14

This article analyzes human mobility as an intrinsic consequence of the capitalist mode of production, focusing on the paradoxical condition of the immigrant in the contemporary context. Although constituting an indispensable force for the global economic dynamics, the immigrant is simultaneously a target of stigmatization, exclusion, and restrictive policies, a phenomenon that reflects the structural contradictions of capitalist societies. From an interdisciplinary approach that integrates geographic, social, political, and psychosocial perspectives, the study understands the human being as an active agent in the transformation of space, mediated by material determinations and subjective motivations. The article dialogues with Giorgio Agamben’s concept of “bare life” and Achille Mbembe’s concept of “necropolitics” to deepen the understanding of the economic instrumentalization and political dehumanization of the immigrant. It highlights how mobility is regulated not only as a mechanism of exploitation but also as a government technology that legitimizes exclusion and vulnerability, configuring contemporary borders as devices of selective control and social death. The analysis includes the discursive construction of the immigrant as a social, economic, and cultural threat, emphasizing the psychopolitics of guilt as a tool to maintain power hierarchies and fragment solidarity. Through qualitative bibliographic research, the article systematizes classical and contemporary concepts to demonstrate that spatial transformations result from historical, social, and psychic mediations. Thus, it seeks to reveal the complex dialectic between economic dependence and political rejection of the immigrant, showing how this paradox updates ancient mechanisms of domination and inequality in the global space.

ANÁLISE DAS FORMAÇÕES DISCURSIVAS EM JOGO E DOS EFEITOS DE SENTIDOS EM MEMES NAS REDES SOCIAIS

Keila Brito dos Santos Alba — 2025-07-14

O corpus do presente trabalho é constituído por materialidades, no caso memes, relacionadas ao acontecimento digital batizado de “Taxaad”, remontando à prática milenar de cobrança de impostos e taxação indiscriminada, a partir do nome do atual Ministrado da Fazenda do Brasil, Fernando Haddad, responsável pela Lei 14.902/2024, em vigor desde o dia 1º de agosto de 2024, a qual estabeleceu a taxação de compras internacionais de até US$ 50, popularmente conhecida como “Taxa das Blusinhas”. A proposta do presente artigo é analisar, considerando os estudos na Análise de discurso materialista, os sentidos em funcionamento em memes que circularam nesse período. Ao analisar os memes no espaço digital, em meio a condições de produção nas quais a mídia brasileira veiculou a notícia da nova lei de taxação, objetiva-se compreender a tensão paráfrase, polissemia e efeito metafórico da/na imbricação verbo-visual constitutiva dos memes e os efeitos de sentidos produzidos a partir da análise de dois memes, eleitos para o presente artigo, diante do grande destaque na mídia digital, dentre os muitos presentes do movimento digital “Taxaad”. Para tanto, o nosso referencial teórico considerará os estudos na área (Pecheux, 1990; Orlandi, 2015; Lagazzi, 2015; Dias, 2016), baseados no fato de que diferentes discursos devem ser mobilizados e produzem justamente o encontro entre uma atualidade (a emergência de uma série de memes sobre “Taxaad”) e uma memória (que é retomada e é atrelada a filmes/produções audiovisuais conhecidas e mobilizadas para um efeito-riso), de modo que se engendre o acontecimento discursivo em análise. Consideramos o processo de construção de produções grosseiras (efeito bagaceira), sobreposições de imagens, sentidos em disputa, o jogo entre a memória e a atualização de sentidos provenientes do material. Como resultado, notamos que o efeito metafórico, isto é, os deslizamentos de sentidos se dão tanto no verbal quanto na imagem constitutiva do material. Os memes funcionam como recortes estratégicos, a fim de projetar representações (negativas) de cunho político, que não apoiam ou defendem o movimento. Ou seja, os memes produzem um efeito - crítica à taxação e funcionam como tomadas de posições desfavoráveis à nova lei. Percebemos também que a produção de gestos de leitura, por parte do leitor, é possível a partir de uma ancoragem na memória que dá visibilidade ao jogo entre paráfrase e polissemia - uma vez que “Taxaad” entra no lugar de títulos de filmes e produções culturais, a saber: Madagascar passa a ser “Mandataxar”, bem como “O Exterminador do futuro” passa a ser “Taxador do futuro”. Ademais, no lugar de imagens/personagens dos filmes, emerge a formulação visual do ministro Fernando Haddad, produzindo um efeito humorístico (sátira). Essa utilização da sobreposição de palavras e imagens já-vistas e relacionadas a produções culturais de massa produzem um efeito-saturação de críticas à taxação do ministro e “brinca” com o fato de que não será possível consumir produtos internacionais, diante da taxação entendida como descabida ou exagerada.

PERCEPTION OF STUDENTS AT ADÉLIA BRASIL FEIJÓ STATE SCHOOL OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND MAN/NATURE INTERACTION IN THE OCCUPATION OF BRAZILIAN TERRITORY

Patrícia Andrade de Araújo — 2025-07-14

This article brings an experience lived by high school students at the public full-education school Adélia Brasil Feijó, located in the city of Fortaleza, state of Ceará, during human sciences classes: Geography and History. This study is justified because it deals with the appropriation of the theme and thus awakens in the student the importance of preserving archaeological sites. The objective of this study is to understand archaeological sites and the importance of these environments in the cultural, economic and social context. The methodology adopted was, firstly, investigation of the students' prior knowledge, followed by bibliographical research on the main archaeological sites in Brazil, discussion of texts, artifacts, cave paintings and reports found. The students then produced models, folders, posters and reproductions of cave paintings. Finally, the socialization of knowledge with the groups involved. The results of this study demonstrate a dose of contribution to the formation and recognition on the part of students in relation to Brazilian historical/cultural heritage.

REFLEXÃO SOBRE O RACISMO ESTRUTURAL DA EDUCAÇÃO PÚBLICA DE UMBAÚBA-SE: EFEITOS SOCIAIS E AMBIENTAIS NA FORMAÇÃO DO NÃO-BRANCO

Rafael Rodrigo Ferreira de Lima — 2025-07-14

Education is a means of building a fair and egalitarian society. However, it is also a means of maintaining structural racism and the colonizer's status quo in contemporary times. For this reason, it requires not only self-criticism but also diverse and critical perspectives on the formative processes. In this article, the objective was to reflect on racism within the school context of the municipal education network in the municipality of Umbaúba in Sergipe and how this is reflected in the work, religious, social and environmental scenarios of students, even when choosing a pet. The methodology used had an exploratory character, of a qualitative and quantitative nature, in which a narrative review of the literature was used for the theoretical basis of the analyzed topic and field research with the application of structured questionnaires for data collection in public schools. basic education in the municipality of Umbaúba-SE. The results pointed to the maintenance of structural racism through pedagogical action in the school environment of Umbaúba-SE, with consequences in the adoption of domestic animals. It was concluded that, in Sergipe and Umbaúba, the majority of the population sees themselves and perceives themselves as black, brown and black, under a necropedagogy that has positioned itself as maintaining the colonizer's status quo in contemporary times while black people learn the basics to be, as before, just a tool of the production system.

FEMINILIDADE, GÊNERO E BRINQUEDOS: AS BONECAS DE MODA SOB O OLHAR DO FEMINISMO

Gustavo Rodrigues Borin — 2025-07-14

This article investigates how fashion dolls reflect and reproduce social discourses related to femininity throughout history, particularly in relation to the different waves of feminism. Using a qualitative approach based on interdisciplinary bibliographic review, the study analyzes the symbolic evolution of these objects—from early models such as Roman dolls and the Bébé Jumeau to contemporary representations like Barbie, Bratz, and Creatable World. The results show that although these dolls respond to sociocultural changes and incorporate elements of diversity, they also function as tools of normativity and gender stereotype reinforcement, often rooted in consumerist logic and capitalist interests. By examining how these toys engage with feminist and gender debates across historical contexts, the article argues that fashion dolls go beyond their playful function, operating as complex cultural artifacts capable of both preserving and adapting discourses about femininity. It concludes that these objects actively participate in the symbolic construction of gender identities and in the negotiation between social ideologies and the marketplace.

PLATAFORMAS DIGITAIS NO BRASIL: A EXPANSÃO DA EMPRESA MERCADO LIVRE NO TERRITÓRIO

Flavio Lima — 2025-07-14

The rise, consolidation, and rapid expansion of platform companies in Brazil are examined in this study through the case of Mercado Livre. A mixed-methods approach is adopted—comprising qualitative and quantitative analysis of public documents, legal proceedings, institutional reports, and spatial mappings—to investigate how the company's territorialisation reveals institutional, political, and spatial specificities characteristic of the Global South. The study demonstrates that Mercado Livre’s business model is sustained by the continuous capture and monetisation of data, the mobilisation of a workforce engaged in precarious, flexible, and unprotected labour, and the extraction and utilisation of state incentives such as subsidies, tax exemptions, and special fiscal regimes. These elements reveal the articulation between the neoliberal logic of the free market (which gives the company its name) and the structural inequalities embedded in the territory. It is argued that such operational modalities tend to assume even more pernicious forms in structurally unequal contexts, such as Brazil. The findings underscore the urgency of a critical geography capable of grasping the territorial and world-of-work impacts of digital platforms and the profound transformations they engender in the general conditions of production in contemporary capitalism.

Extractivist reasoning, relational geographies and valuation conflicts

Patricia Andrea Pintos — 2025-07-14

The paper xamines the connections and intersections that exist among the three topics set out in the title. First, the logic of extractivist practices as the dominant expression of the accumulation model of this time, its effects on territories and ways of life, and the intense process of hybridization of a nature exiled from social processes (Whatmore, 2002). Second, the construction of a ‘single world’ and the dispossession of relational geographies; Finally, the conflicts of valuation about these natures, understood according to this reading key, as part of opposing political ontologies exercised by the different actors who take an active part in them.

ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS MANAGEMENT ON OFFSHORE OIL WELL DRILLING RIGS: EMERGENCY EFFLUENT DISPOSAL AND ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH IMPACTS

ERIK CASTILHO BUSSMEYER — 2025-07-14

This study examines environmental crisis management and emergency effluent disposal on offshore drilling platforms, focusing on an incident that occurred a decade ago. The analysis covers the technical and legal responses to the event, highlighting health and environmental risks, and suggests improvements in managing such situations.

Offshore platforms generate waste and effluents that require effective management. The study investigates a critical failure in the effluent treatment system that led to the decision to discharge untreated effluent into the sea, triggering an environmental crisis.

The research conducts a case analysis of the incident, exploring the interaction between Brazilian regulations and international guidelines. It includes a description of the event, an assessment of legal and scientific issues, and a review of the corrective measures implemented.

The incident revealed the challenges of balancing environmental compliance with health protection. The controlled release of untreated effluent minimized immediate damage but raised long-term concerns, highlighting tensions between national regulations and stricter international standards.

The study contributes to the understanding of crisis management on offshore platforms, emphasizing the risks of inadequate effluent management and proposing recommendations to improve environmental management and emergency response.

THE PRESENCE OF BLUE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE INTERACTION BETWEEN GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING

Valéria Borges Yonegura — 2025-07-14

The notion of Green Infrastructure (GI) is linked to topics such as sustainability, social justice, governance, and climate resilience, among others. This concept includes Blue Infrastructure (BI), which is associated with water management as well as Low Impact Development (LID), Water Sensitive Urban Design Systems (WSUDs) and Best Management Practices (BMP). However, the relationship between GI and BI in urban and regional planning may not be obvious, even when examining important databases in the academic field, limiting its application. This paper tries to illustrate, using three samples of 77 publications, that BI is frequently overlooked in academic production connected to the implementation of GI in urban and regional planning (URP). Its aim is to expose the various perspectives, or variations, on BI in GI and URP research. Articles on the integration of GI in URP were collected from the Web of Science and Scopus and grouped based on analyses performed using database filters, and analyzed with Bibliometric, and VOSviewer. The results show that there is a significant difference in the presence of BI between the three groups, implying different approaches to urban hydrology within GI and its integration into urban and regional planning, and also a disconnect between authors and their areas when observing thematic maps that represent the development of this field in scientific research.
