Análise da sustentabilidade e do potencial de implantação de uma reserva da biosfera no Marajó, Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-02-13) QUINTELA, Patrick Diniz Alves; VIEIRA, Ima Célia Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3761418169454490; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
The sustainable development agenda has emerged as a new paradigm associated to the relationship between economic growth and the use of natural resources. Inasmuch, its assumptions should guarantee for future generations the balance between the processes of nature and society. The Man and Biosphere Program, launched in 1971, has been considered as one of the most important biological conservation programs of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The strategy of creating Biosphere Reserves (RB) has moved the scope from global policy to local implementation projects. These units have since 2008 taken on the task of consolidating pristine areas in the construction of sustainability, combining natural landscapes with sustainable use through the participation of local populations. In this context, this interdisciplinary research analyzed the environmental and economic conditions of the municipalities of Marajó, Pará, applying the tool Barometer of Sustainability (BS). In addition, such results were used in the analysis of the challenges for the implementation of a Biosphere Reserve in the Marajó. Of the municipalities that make up the Marajó territory, 13 were pointed as potentially unsustainable, and the remaining three fell within the intermediary range of sustainability. According to the Barometer of Sustainability scale, all municipalities demonstrated critical socio-environmental conditions, creating an additional challenge for the implementation of the Biosphere Reserve due to such development background.

A comunidade de tubarões (Chondrichthyes : selachii : Galea) da formação pirabas, Neógeno da Amazônia Oriental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-03-10) COSTA, Sue Anne Regina Ferreira da; RICHTER, Martha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9381228195500524; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
The shark community (Selachii:Galea) from the Pirabas Formation in one of the most representative of the Neogene in South America due to its high diversity of taxa and range of ecological components. The presence of eight known genera enabled to establish hypothesis about the trophic chain of the vertebrate palaeocommunity, as well as to corroborate previous reconstructions about the paleoenvironmental parameters of this geologic unit. This study dealt with the taxonomic revision of the shark community on both generic and species leveis, allowing the following composition: Carcharhinus spl, Carcharhinus sp2, Carcharhinus sp3, Carcharhinus priscus, Sphyrna magna, Hemipristis serra, Carcharodon megalodon, Isurus sp, Ginglymostoma serra, Ginglymostoma obliquum. The analyses of newly collected specimens and microscopic material allowed a considerable expansion of identified individuals up to 231 teeth. This work is a contribution to refine the knowledge about the regional patterns of shark paleobiogeography.

Considerações sobre a anatomia funcional e adptativa de alguns sigmodontinae (Mammalia : Rodentia : Muridae)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2002-10-29) MELO, Cláudia Cristina de Sousa de Melo; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
Among the mammals, the little rodents makes up a singular group. These animals have been in full evolutive process due to their capacity of reproducing and adapting to different habitats. Philogeneticly, the group still hasn't a sure characteristic and is very similar morphologically to rodents Sigmodontinae from Serra dos Carajás. Through this study of external features and some banes from post-cranium related to motions habit, we beheld: 1) The choice of the habitat in Serra dos Carajás area among the rodents seems not to be related to a phylogenetic standard; 2) It wasn't possible to set a relationship between ecological features and main morphological shape from post-cranium related to body-shape among Sigmodontinae; 3) the morphology of úmero and femur have a strong Phylogenetic sign which is another feature of subfamily Sigmodontinae; 4) the signs intermembal, crural e branquial weren't effective to identify the many way of motions among the rodents Sigmodontinae.

Construindo a utopia: análise histórica da política de conservação biológica sob a ótica do sistema socioecológico do arquipélago de Galápagos, Equador
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-02-21) ANDRADE, Luis Vladimir Mora; VIEIRA, Ima Célia Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3761418169454490; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
The Galapagos archipelago is well known for its endemic biodiversity and for inspiring Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution. After 1535, with its accidental discovery, a series of historical events led to the reduction of turtle populations and the introduction of exotic species. With the creation of the Charles Darwin Station, a significant international effort on biodiversity conservation has attracted a large influx of tourism. Concomitant with the establishment of the station, the National Park Management Plan promoted shared responsibility for the management of protected areas, which integrates terrestrial and marine protected areas, and the archipelago was considered as a socio-ecological system, with its nature unique and special threat from recent global changes. Thus, this study aims to understand the relationships between anthropic pressures and the resilience of natural systems in the archipelago. The methodology is based on the analysis of Environmental Management on the Island of São Cristóvão with secondary information taken from the sessions of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), to build the adaptive cycle of Holling and in interviews with residents for the analysis of community perceptions. The recommendations suggested by UNESCO mainly involve problems such as tourism, agriculture, migration, introduced species, coordination between institutions. The perception study was conducted between June and August 2017 using questionnaires, interviews with 260 residents, and direct observation. The results showed UNESCO as an international body responsible for environmental management that has been emphasizing the problems presented in the Archipelago. On the other hand, the Ecuadorian government tries to balance and overcome adversity. UNESCO points out the need for residents to know better what it is to live in a Natural Heritage and what they must do to conserve that heritage. The primary identified impacts were: increased tourism (visits), population increase (migration); species introduced; lack of an effective system of solid waste management and wastewater management; lack of coordinated institutional co-operation; implementation of transdisciplinary research. In this last aspect, it implies that the management approach of ecosystems and natural resources should not focus on the components of the system, but on their relationships, interactions and feedbacks. In this study, we argue that the long-term sustainability of the archipelago depends on the rules for the exploration and conservation of natural resources. São Cristovão Island presents men (53.46%) and women (46.54%) residing mainly in Porto Baquerizo (71.92%); the majority (60%) from Galapagos. The perception analysis showed a tendency towards positive responses about environmental management, but they indicated some impacts on the way of life of the population, primarily related to the increase of tourism, introduced species and the reduction of the mine due to the extraction of sand, gravel, and stone to make the buildings. Given this scenario, local actors outline a system with interrelated but conflicting social, environmental and economic nuances, requiring more efficient management. Thus, it is perceived that the socio-ecological system of Galapagos undergoes a dynamic process that recognizes the interactions between natural system and social system, in which UNESCO directs biodiversity conservation strategies to the government including criteria of ecosystem management and seeks to reduce the pressure the solution to these vital problems is the implementation of a long-term environmental conservation management policy that can reduce social impacts.

Os efeitos das mudanças climáticas e do uso da terra no cultivo de cacau no bioma amazônico brasileiro.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-02-26) IGAWA, Tassio Koiti; ANJOS, Luciano Jorge Serejo dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0244738999001686; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3270-6679; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
“Climate change” has become an increasingly recurrent theme in intergovernmental meetings, as it suggests the establishment of a new normal, with the potential to challenge plant species and their ability to survive under conditions not analogous to current ones. Agriculture is one of the sectors of human activity most vulnerable to climate change, with some studies indicating that climate change could cause a reduction in world agricultural production. Thus, it is necessary to prepare interdisciplinary works in order to measure the possible effects caused by climate change to this productive sector. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the impacts of climate change and land use on cocoa cultivation in the Brazilian Amazon biome in 2050. In general, the results indicated that there will be a clear loss of suitability for the occurrence of cocoa in the scenarios and with that, there may be an increase in areas not recommended for cocoa cultivation. The areas of high and medium potential for cocoa production will be located, mainly, in the state of Rondônia and in the northeast of the state of Pará in both scenarios analyzed (RCP4.5 and 8.5). In addition, it was possible to identify probable significant losses in production of 92.92 and 95.28% in scenarios RCP 4.5 and 8.5, respectively. This could affect about 20,550 establishments, that is, thousands of rural producers. Therefore, it was concluded that climate change will have a negative impact on cocoa production in the Brazilian Amazon biome.

Índice de vulnerabilidade socioambiental à Amazônia: estudo da gleba "C" da Universidade Federal do Pará, no município de Belém.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-01-23) SOUSA, Maria Carolina Chaves de; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
The primary objective of this study was to analyze the influence, in the degree of social and environmental vulnerability, of the work of recognition of the real right of use with the Concession of Special Use for Housing Purposes – CUEM, in Portuguese, to the residents of Part C of the Federal University of Pará - UFPA, in Belém. This case study is related to the history of the occupation of the area of the city of Belém. At the beginning of the 20th century, urbanization and occupation of privileged spaces to the detriment of "lowland" spaces and near the floodplain. The "lowlands" were occupied by a population, mostly with socioeconomic deficiencies, forming sets of dwellings in private and public real estate, specifically, in this study, the area where the UFPA is situated today, and that is susceptible to floods and floods. To bring the rights of these occupants to justice a regularization work was carried out by UFPA, together with public entities of the state and the Union, to deliver CUEMs to beneficiaries who fulfilled the requirements of MP 2220 / 2001. Using indicators and indexes related to social, economic, legal and environmental issues (Urban Infrastructure, Human Capital, Income and Labor, Legal and Health and Environment), based on secondary data, the Socioenvironmental Vulnerability Index of the resident population in Gleba C was calculated in the years 2000 and 2010. The results show that the degree of socioenvironmental vulnerability is high both in the year 2000 (0.595) and in 2010 (0.514). In conclusion, the regularization effort carried out did not influence the reduction of the degree of vulnerability socioenvironmental of the residents and stand out solely as a patrimonial adjustment, transferring formal responsibilities of land use to the beneficiary residents and recognition of the right of this title by force of law.

Índices de desenvolvimento sustentável aplicados à Amazônia Legal como subsídios a políticas de combate ao desmatamento
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-11-30) VALE, Francinelli de Angeli Francisco do; VIERA, Ima Célia Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3761418169454490; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
The history of land use and occupation in the Legal Amazon, intensive deforestation in the Deforestation Arc region and the current great concern with sustainable development has led to the adoption of measures that assess current levels of sustainability at local and regional scales. Besides, such actions can verify historically the relationship of these levels with the adopted public policies that advocate social, economic, institutional and environmental changes. The use of sustainability indicators has been envisioned as an instrument that contributes to making the concept of sustainability more objective, while at the same time it has been useful for the planning, monitoring and evaluation stages of public policies in several areas. In this work, three different methodologies were adopted, the Sustainable Development Index (IDS), Sustainability Barometer (BS) and the new Municipal Index to Combat Deforestation (IMCD). All information had the objective to analyze the sustainability level of the states of Amazônia Legal and the priority and monitored municipalities of the state of Pará. This study focused on the actions of the federal plan (Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in Amazonia - PPCDAm) and the state policy to curb deforestation through the Green Municipalities Program. The results indicate that only the state of Roraima was classified with acceptable performance of the IDS, while Maranhão presented critical level and the other states remained in the alert range; for the municipalities according to BS, only Altamira and Novo Progresso remained in the intermediate sustainability class for the two years analyzed, but there was progress in the deforestation control, comparing the year 2000 to 2010. Regarding the IMCD, Paragominas stands out with high value and the only one to fulfill all the goals of the PMV and PPCDAm, while Concordia do Pará, Garrafão do Norte and Aurora do Pará performed critically and were not effective in incorporating environmental management instruments to control deforestation. The tools used were useful and easy to use for the evaluation of sustainability. Therefore, it is recommended that this type of analysis be developed regularly so that the performance of the states and municipalities of the legal Amazon can be monitored.

Morfologia funcional e desenho corporal da cintura pélvica e membros posteriores dos Tamanduás (Mammalia : Xenarthra : Myrmecophagidae)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2001-12-20) OLIVEIRA, Manuela França de; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
Among mammals, xenarthrans are certainly a very singular group with respect to its morphology, physiology, and feeding and locomotory habits. Within the order Xenarthra, the family Myrmecophagidae has received little attention in papers on functional morphology and biomechanics, especially concerning the hindlimbs. In order to contribute to the biological knowledge on the morphofunctional and biomechanical natures of the hindlimbs (femur and tibia) and peivic girdie in these animais [genera: Cyclopes (silky anteater), Tamandua (lesser anteater) and Myrmecophaga (giant anteater)], this paper aims at a comparative and descriptive osteological study of those structures, emphasizing the main points reflecting biomechanical functionality related to locomotory habits. In addition to osteological descriptions, 23 post-cranial measurements for the pelvic girdle, femur, tibia, humerus, and radius were taken. From those measurements, thirteen osteometric indexes were obtained and proved effective in the morphofunctional characterization of the three genera, biomechanically separating them according to their respective locomotory styles.

Mudanças climáticas e a resiliência da floresta amazônica ao longo do tempo e espaço
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-12-01) ANJOS, Luciano Jorge Serejo dos; COHEN, Marcelo Cancela Lisboa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8809787145146228; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
The climate is changing fast, and we still do not know for sure what the consequences will be and the magnitude of the changes in the Earth's most biodiverse terrestrial ecosystem, the Amazon rainforest. To overcome such a scientific limitation, here we conceive and execute a four-fold innovative methodological structure, with the necessary interdisciplinary theoretical robustness. Such methods are capable of (1) measuring, and mapping ecosystem resilience at large scales; (2) assess the intrinsic vulnerability of ecosystems to climate change; (3) predict catastrophic transition events between the Amazon rainforest and savannas; and (4) to analyze the effects of past climate change in a quantitative and qualitative way on the ecosystems of the Amazon Basin. Our results show that forest is intrinsically more vulnerable to climate change in the near future than other terrestrial ecosystems. Also, there is highly probable chance that ongoing climate changes will suddenly trigger catastrophic transitional events to other stable states with lower plant cover density. Our findings indicate that such transitional regimes were frequent due to the climatic oscillations of the past over the last 22,000 years. Indeed, these paleobiogeographic events contributed to the ecological and evolutionary structuring of the Amazonian biota as we know it today. However, today's anthropogenic forcing, characterized by large-scale and high rates of transformations, has a disproportionate weight in the historical balance and may lead, in the near future, to an event of massive extinction of Amazonian biodiversity.

Mudanças paleoecológicas nos últimos seis mil anos na região costeira do Nordeste paraense: reconstruindo o Sambaqui Porto da Mina pela integração de dados ambientais (Quatipuru, Brasil).
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-12-14) MACHADO, Sauri Moreira.; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
The Porto da Mina shellmound is an archaeological site located in Quatipuru, Pará State, which shows records of continuous occupation and abundant zoological material dating back to approximately 5,280 years BP. This work aimed to reconstruct the existing environment during the establishment of this shellmound. For this, bio-anthracological profiles were elaborated, with sediment samples and zoological material collection. The research had a multidisciplinary character, including geological, chemical (X-ray diffraction and fluorescence), biological and isotopic (δ13C, δ15N and δ18O) analyzes. Ecological, climate and land use simulation modeling were also performed. The results showed that the archaeological site consists of silt and clay granulometry containing predominance of quartz, hematite, kaolinite and calcite. These constituents corroborated the shellmound presence in the study area, which was also evidenced by the presence of carbonate invertebrate fossils such as oysters, cockles, mussels and crabs. In addition, temperature variations of around 10 °C were recorded, which although high, was not a sudden climate change for the Holocene. Analysis of the land use and land cover changes evolution suggests that regardless of the increasing and continuous land use, the rate of deforestation is considered relatively low for the Porto da Mina shellmound’s area. Therefore, it is argued that anthropogenic deforestation in the surrounding region of the site did not play a significant role in climate change occurring during site activity.

Continental chelonians, especially the Amazonian ones, are among the groups which most demand new researches and integrated studies, whether in the systematic or ecological scope, whose knowledge helps in their preservation, as well as ecosystem and environmental services performed. Therefore, the present work aims to analyze the levels of climate resilience of continental species in the Legal Amazon, via correlation/interdisciplinarity between climate models and anthropogenic pressure with geochemical proxies, more specifically isotopes of carbon and nitrogen, with results that enable interpretations more precise information on climatic and isotopic refuges (isoscapes), as well as additional information related to trophic chains. Until then, climate models were developed, with simulations referring to Representative Concentration Pathways (or RCPs) and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (or SSPs) for ten chelonian species, given their sufficient number of recorded observations and coordinates: Chelus fimbriata; Mesoclemmys gibba; Phrynops geoffroanus; Platemys platycephala; Podocnemis expands; Podocnemis unifilis; Rhinoclemmys punctularia; Kinosternon scorpioides, Chelonioidis carbonaria and Chelonoidis denticulata. Such coordinates were intercrossed with four environmental variables from the Worldclim digital platform, selected according level of influence on the species distribution, reported in the literature, as well as reduced inter-correlation. These procedures were performed by Rstudio software, through the Biomod2 package, which reunites a set of algorithms whose mathematics allowed the development of rasters, with informations of climatic suitability inherent to each species. So far, P. expansa, P. unifilis and, above all, Ch. denticulata, are considered the most threatened of population reduction, while Ph. geoffroannus and K. scorpioides projections have shown less climate vulnerability. This parameter tends to be maintained in future circumstances, even with anthropogenic interference. The other species also present certain levels of vulnerability, which are more limited when compared to Ch. denticulata e P. unifilis levels. Confrontation of projections with isotopic signatures from nitrogen and carbon, collected from bone tissues of specimens deposited at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Amazônicas (INPA, Manaus/AM) and Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (MPEG, Belém /PA). with climate models and anthropogenic influence, tend to reinforce politics to preserve species and their niches, as a strategy to maintain regional biodiversity.

Sharks populations are declining drastically in many parts of the world, demanding new complementary approaches for the comprehension of biological characteristics. Amplifying the temporal range of investigation to the Miocene past (23 Ma), this research had as objective interpret ecological features from extant and fossil sharks by the way of stable isotopes measurements of carbon and oxygen, looking to generate intellectual basis for management and conservation plans. In total, 46 teeth of several localities were utilized, most are from the coastal region of eastern Amazonia, but also from proto-Caribbean fossiliferous deposits. Isotopic analysis were employed in the distinct bioapatites structures: carbonate and phosphate, where the enameloid was preferentially uptaken in the samples to reduce possibilities of collect unoriginal chemical signatures. A tooth file analyzed from extant specimens exhibited strong correlations among the involved variables (carbon and oxygen), potentially signaling an isotopic fractionation effect in the carbonate structure varying in accordance with tooth development. Oxygen in phosphate results ranged between 18,9‰ to 21.4 ‰, indicating paleotemperatures where these animals lived around 21,6°C to 30,6°C. Statistical tests were performed in the observed values, allowing the discrimination of three groups: Pirabas group (fossil sharks of Pirabas Formation) Recent group (extant sharks of the Amazon coastal region) and non-Pirabas group (fossil sharks of proto-Caribbean deposits). Global, regional and biological environmental considerations about these individuals were revised to understand their distinct chemical signatures. Oceanographic influences and changes in planetary patterns seem to justify some peculiarities of the measures found in non-Pirabas group. On the other hand, the ecological stability verified comparing the paleotemperatures of the Pirabas group with the Recent group suggests resilience on the part of these sharks, by maintaining similar ecological niches during geological time in the Amazon region. However, it also implies a biological preference for swimming in specific conditions for a better physiological performance. The ecological pattern of activity proposed for the sharks of the northern Brazil (23°C-30°C), in addition to paleointerferences about the group here realized should be incorporated in future plans of management and conservation of elasmobranchs, as they reinforce the existing scientific knowledge concerning this táxon.

In the analysis of the causes that lead to the convergence of patterns in the structure of terrestrial mammalian faunas in South America, there have always been a challenge to obtain an exact portrayal of observable evolutionary processes in larger scales. In this paper, we aimed at the analysis of the distributional patterns for South American terrestrial mastofauna, trying to correlate the different communities with distinct graphs through the use of a refined coenogram method. It takes into account ecological variables that influence the distribution and size of species (feeding, locomotion, and weight), and examines the possibilities of application of this methodology in the analysis of extinct South American terrestrial mammalian faunas. The results show some consistency in using such methodology for extant assemblages, and also a good possibility of its application for extinct ones. However, some considerations should be made on gaps in the knowledge over distributional patterns of current mammalian faunas, such as the evolutionary and ecological relationship between mammals and the South American continent.

Specialized technical mediation is one of the forms of access to Environmental Justice to contribute to the implementation of land (register) urbanistic and environmental (Reurb) regularization in the Amazon. The research built inter-institutional specialized technical mediation dynamics, with the purpose of territorial requalification, taking into account the prevention of environmental disasters. The specific objectives collaborate with the reconstruction of the Environmental Justice System through the application of interinstitutional mediation techniques in the four phases of the Environmental Justice System, (Administrative, Pre-Procedural, Procedural and Post-Procedural), presented as Technical Products of the Thesis. Faced with the need to train professionals capable of specialized technical mediation of conflicts, technical products from the training axis are presented, including specific objectives. The research considers necessary a requalification of professionals to be able to manage the territory for present and future generations and not a training aimed at producing more while spending less and less. More than one research model is presented, the main one being the territorial approach to development as action research, that is, while the research was being carried out the technical products were under construction. Jurimetry analysis was used to present the non-materialization of conflicts. Thus, the nucleus of environmental conciliation had been directed to the filing of environmental assessments and not to the treatment and accountability for territorial conflicts. Jurimetrically, the research used biostatistics to make correlations between deforestation rates, environmental assessments and environmental processes of specialized judicial units in the Metropolitan Region of Belém. Noting that since 2018 the trend has been an increase in deforestation rates, with a decrease in environmental assessments and, consequently, a decrease in environmental processes. Paradoxically, if there are no environmental processes, the territory is pacified and there are no reasons to invest in access to Environmental Justice. In the final considerations, objective propositions will be presented to contribute to the treatment of territorial conflicts with emphasis on the Reconstruction of the Environmental Justice System.

Sustentabilidade e gestão ambiental no município de Moju/PA: desafios para a produção do biodiesel
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-02-26) CARDOSO, Andreza Soares; VIEIRA, Ima Célia Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3761418169454490; TOLEDO, Peter Mann de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3990234183124986
The concept of sustainable development and its further management emerge as a need to think of new ways to measure economic growth. The concept of "Sustainability Indicators”, designed to measure the level of sustainability of a system, based on indices from economic, social and environmental sector, can help in the evaluation to point out to the accomplishment of sustainable development of a specific municipality, region or county. The public policy of biofuels executed under the National Policy on Production of Biodiesel – PNPB, was created to be applied in the Amazon Region, including the State of Pará, through the program "Poles of Biodiesel Production ". In this context, one of the main targets was the municipality of Moju figured as one of the largest producers of palm oil in the northern region of Brazil. Despite the huge expansion of oil palm cultivation in this county, there are strong concerns about the ability of Moju to receive this governmental incentive and development program as an effective public policy for sustainability. The potential for strongs impacts in the territoriality configuration and social menace are high. In addition, due to the expected economic and environmental dynamics in a municipality there has not been a preparation phase through environmental management programs to minimize potential hazards in the different sectors that may be targeted by such program. This Study focused in the understanding and measure of the sustainability level of the municipality of Moju and evaluated its environmental management capacity. Interviews were performed and secondary data were incorporated into a sustainability analysis framework of the Barometer of Sustainability. It was observed that the municipality tends to a low sustainability trend with few socioeconomic and environmental advances, which demonstrates the fragility of this political district in environmental issues. In general, the city has license to exercise full environmental management, i.e., presents a desirable or efficient administrative structure but its operational structure is poor or ineffective, which will certainly show problems to couple with the PNPB economic dynamics.
