Item Análise institucional dos serviços de drenagem urbana na cidade de Salvador - Ba(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2006-10) Santos, Julimara Conceição; Santos, Samile Oliveira; Tarqui, Jorge Luis Zegarra; UCSAL, Universidade Católica do SalvadorItem Atuação dos Subcomitês da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio das Velhas na Gestão dos Recursos Hídricos(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2011-04-25) Reis, Carlos José; Tarqui, Jorge Luis Zegarra; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9103961255626430; Baltrusis, Nelson; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5560588032731137; Ribeiro, Elizabeth Matos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8446377792278288The Subcommittees are important tools in managing water resources in the Hydrographic Basin Committee of the “Velhas” river. These agencies are advisory and propositive entities that function obligatorily with the participation of the three segments of the society (public authority, water users and organized civil society), being an advance in the decentralization of water management. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the institutional performance and social capital of seven Subcommittees of the hydrographic basin of the “Velhas” river: “Jequitibá” river, “Paraúna” river, “Curimataí” river, “Taquaraçu” river, “Mata” creek, “Arrudas” creek and “ Riachinho” that belongs to the hydrographic basin of the “Velhas” river. It was used a qualitative research study which was based on the application of 18 questionnaires and 12 interviews with 27 members (president and former president of CBH-Velhas, coordinators and representatives of the three social groups) involved in the management of these Subcommittees and of the CBH-Velhas. For the evaluation of institutional performance it was made an analysis from the following indicators: decision making, resource mobilization and management, internal and external communication and conflict resolution mechanisms. To describe the Social Capital it was evaluated the perception of two components: structural and cognitive. The structural perception is based on the existence of associations and recognition of social networks, of the structure and internal features of the Subcommittees. The cognitive aspects are based on the evaluation of trust, solidarity, reciprocity and cooperation on the internal and external scoop. About the questionnaires, specific questions were performed to assess the indicators (included in institutional performance and / or in social capital) ,in the case of interviews, it was analyzed the speech of the interviewees in order to collect the impressions addressing the indicators mentioned above. Among the difficulties encountered in institutional performance it can mentioned: the absence of wider legislation, to delegate more powers to these agencies, the lack of a good infrastructure, a shortage of financial, technical and human resources, low autonomy and lack of its own headquarters. However, even if there are some challenges and difficulty in performing the actions, these agencies are developing a responsible job, consciously and effectively, within the limitations, in the communities where they operate and this is due in part to the process of strengthening and building a social capital in these five years of the existence of the Subcommittees. The conclusion of the study is that the strategy of action by the Basin Committee and the relation with the subcommittees is satisfactory because it is grounded in the particular reality of each sub-basin and a construction process of decentralized management, within the existing structural constraints. It should be noted that the existence and continuity of the Subcommittees should be based on the improvement of institutional performance and the strengthening of social capital. In this sense the role of social innovators, similar to the role played by the project “Manuelzão” are important in the process of building and strengthening social networks that support the work of the Subcommittees of the “Velhas” river Committee itself.Item Avaliação do potencial erosivo do solo residual de granulito e da formação barreiras da cidade do Salvador(Universidade Católica de Salvador, 2006-10) Cardoso, Luiz Henrique Santos; Moyano, Paula Andréa Marin; Veloso, Tainam dos Santos; Carvalho, Miriam de Fátima; Dourado, Kleber Azevedo; Tarqui, Jorge Luis Zegarra; UCSAL, Universidade Católica do SalvadorItem Determinação do diâmetro médio das gotas de chuva simulada empregando o método da farinha(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2008-10) Santana, Icaro Macedo; Silva, Leandro Ferreira; Silva, Vitor Souza Viana; Lobo, Bruno Rogério da Hora; Carvalho, Miriam de Fátima; Tarqui, Jorge Luis Zegarra; UCSAL, Universidade Católica do SalvadorItem Estudo de processos erosivos com a utilização do simulador de chuvas(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2004-10) Freitas, Glauber Vieira de; Fadul, Júlia Cavalcanti; Trindade, Flávio Rodrigues; Elbachá, Adma Tanajura; Tarqui, Jorge Luis Zegarra; Carvalho, Miriam de Fátima; UCSAL, Universidade Católica do SalvadorItem Metodologia para estudo experimental de jatos de orifícios.(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2007-10) Silva, Vitor Souza; Tarqui, Jorge Luis Zegarra; UCSAL, Universidade Católica do SalvadorItem Projeto de módulos de laboratório para hidráulica: jato de orifícios; vertedores e transporte de sedimentos(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2008-10) Silva, Vitor Souza Viana; Tarqui, Jorge Luis Zegarra; UCSAL, Universidade Católica do SalvadorItem Qualidade da Água Potável Consumida na Cidade do Salvador - Bahia(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2010-03-31) Duarte, Victor Magalhães; Alva, Juan Carlos Rossi; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2039696191553980; Tarqui, Jorge Luis Zegarra; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9103961255626430; Luz, Lafayette Dantas da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5436334455954998The research talks about the drinking water which is consumed in Salvador city and presents the main health consequences of the contaminants that can be found in the water and the prevention measurements more suitable to remove them. Contaminations which can be found in the water sources come from the growth industrial activities, synthetic agriculture compounds, domestic sewage and waste water that run-off without a proper treatment. The methodology used included drinking water analyzes consumed in Salvador city, an evaluation of Brazilian legislation, being demonstrated that, even when the legal parameters in the laws are fulfilled, it can not warranty that drinking this water will not produce serious health problems in the people in a short, medium and long period of time. The results show that people who were evaluated do not have enough basic knowledge about the risks of water contaminants and they do not know what to do to minimize their consequences. Even knowing that the concentration of the drinking water contaminants change a lot from one day to another, it was adopted modern scientific methodology when the water analyzes from the municipal water supply company were evaluated. The same methodology was adopted in the well water samples from a company in the Petrochemical Complex in Camaçari area and from mineral water samples which were sent to specialized laboratories. Many contaminants in the water were mentioned and evaluated under toxicological standards using maximum values established in the Brazilian, United States and European legislation (World Health Organization). Additive and synergetic effects of the drinking water contaminants besides the factor named individual susceptibility were cited as essential conditions in the real risk assessment of the contaminants concentration and mixtures of them present in the drinking water in study. It was presented point of use treatment techniques that make possible to remove organic, inorganic, biological and radioactive contaminants from drinking water. Doing that, people can minimize as much as possible the contamination risks from water sources, keeping the health in high levels. Yet it was done suggestions that aim to reduce or eliminate the contaminants of our drinking water sources, by federal, state and municipal actions and direct collaboration of the citizens themselves. In front of the scientific aspects mentioned here, we concluded that as much the mineral water as the municipal water from the distribution network are not free of risks to the human consumption.
