The highest scoring indicator in the Bay was Guapimirim dissolved inorganic nitrogen, with a B. Magé The lowest scoring indicator in the Bay D was total phosphorus, with an F. When Duque de Caxias in excess, these nutrients contribute to algal blooms. Dissolved oxygen scored a 4 B and biological oxygen demand scored a D. In conjunction, these indicators show the availability of oxygen, which is essential to aquatic life. Fecal coliform scored an F, which indicates 5 the presence of untreated sewage in 1 the water. For this report card, the Bay was divided into five regions, based on Governador Island the flow and water circulation patterns. São Gonçalo 1.

Guanabara Bay: beautiful but polluted The values of Guanabara Bay are under threat Guanabara Bay is a beautiful natural harbor that forms the identity of the Rio de Janeiro region. The Bay supports the Brazilian economy, through activities like shipping, recreation, and tourism. Urban development results in significant impacts including trash and untreated sewage that pollute the Bay and contaminate its waters. In addition, industrial and agricultural development can result in contaminated runoff.

This research work applies a composite indicator that has been developed as the Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems Index to benchmark the performance of a new sample of 26 world cities. The sample advances the geographical diversity of previous samples and represents cities in the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy as well as the C40 initiative. The benchmarking results are analysed based on quartiles of city performance and Monte Carlo simulations. The results indicate the top three cities in the sample to be Copenhagen, which obtains a score of 36.038, followed by Helsinki and Gothenburg.

  • Brazil and the Alliance for Progress
    BRAZIL AND THE ALLIANCE FOR PROGRESS: US-BRAZILIAN FINANCIAL RELATIONS DURING THE FORMULATION OF JOÃO GOULART‟S THREE-YEAR PLAN (1962)* Felipe Pereira Loureiro Assistant Professor at the Institute of International Relations, University of São Paulo (IRI-USP), Brazil [email protected] Presented for the panel “New Perspectives on Latin America‟s Cold War” at the FLACSO-ISA Joint International Conference, Buenos Aires, 23 to 25 July, 2014 ABSTRACT The paper aims to analyze US-Brazilian financial relations during the formulation of President João Goulart‟s Three-Year Plan (September to December 1962). Brazil was facing severe economic disequilibria in the early 1960s, such as a rising inflation and a balance of payments constrain. The Three-Year Plan sought to tackle these problems without compromising growth and through structural reforms. Although these were the guiding principles of the Alliance for Progress, President John F. Kennedy‟s economic aid program for Latin America, Washington did not offer assistance in adequate conditions and in a sufficient amount for Brazil. The paper argues the causes of the US attitude lay in the period of formulation of the Three-Year Plan, when President Goulart threatened to increase economic links with the Soviet bloc if Washington did not provide aid according to the country‟s needs. As a result, the US hardened its financial approach to entice a change in the political orientation of the Brazilian government. The US tough stand fostered the abandonment of the Three-Year Plan, opening the way for the crisis of Brazil‟s postwar democracy, and for a 21-year military regime in the country.

Charles Moore Abstract: Plastic has completely consumed human life. We wake up to alarm clocks made of plastic, take showers with soaps and shampoos in plastic bottles, brush our teeth with plastic toothbrushes and this is only the beginning. Plastics expand into every aspect of our lives. Plastic has shaped daily lives in an unbelievable fashion since its creation and implementation in the early 1900s. Plastic was first created by a man named Leo Hendrik Baekeland, a Belgian-born American. Plastic has consumed lives and as a result entered into the ecosystems around us due to our wasteful society.

The entire municipality was used in the study covering critical and non-critical areas. The data came from the Information System for the Public Security Institute in Rio de Janeiro state. The ter- ritories were identified and defined by referring to studies on illegal occupations of areas. The snow- balling method was used for the social recognition of poor conditions. The morphological differen- tiation of urban and housing standards marked the locations. The areas were georeferenced, and the problems were located geographically and or- ganized according to their corresponding critical area. We calculated the municipal rates using population estimates from IBGE. For the crit- ical areas, we obtained estimates of the number of households multiplied by a factor equal to the average household density in the corresponding census tract.

  • What to Do in Rio Complete
    What to do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Downtown This is the place where you can find pretty much everything about the traditional Rio, the culture, the economics, the history. You can visit the XV Square, where you can take the ferryboat to Niterói or visit the residence of the emperors, or maybe visit the Municipal Theatre, to see a breathtaking architecture or even a marvelous play with its own opera. Lapa (MetrôRio - Cinelândia Station) The neighborhood in Rio that has the most variety of musical styles (samba, forró, MPB, blues and more recently, electronic music and rock). Famous for its nightlife, one of the striking features of the neighborhood is the harmony between the most diverse urban tribes. For the major pathways, Av. Mem de Sá, Riachuelo Street and Lavradio, spread attractions such as the Sala Cecilia Meireles, that is considered the best concert of chamber music existing in Rio, The Public Promenade, the National School of Music and the Church of Our Lady of Lapa do Desterro. It hosts Arcos da Lapa (Carioca Aqueduct), which was built in the middle of the 18th century to bring fresh water from the Carioca river to the population of the city. A bondinho (tram) leaves from a station at Lapa, crosses the aqueduct (converted to a tram viaduct in 1896) and rambles through the hilly streets of the Santa Teresa neighbourhood. National Library (MetrôRio - Cinelândia Station) The Biblioteca Nacional is the storage of the bibliographic and documentary heritage of Brazil. It is the world’s seventh larger library and Latin America’s number one and its collection includes over 9 million items.
