“…Since it's the second largest state in the country, there are huge internal distances. River paths, crossing the Amazon rainforest, for instance, are challenging routes between home and school (Almeida, 2010;Ruiz & Domingues, 2008). Considering social inequality issues that prevail in this scenario, the inhabitants of the interior of Pará look for better living conditions in the capital, where they end up finding always new problems and, unfortunately, few solutions (Cardoso et al, 2015).…”

In Brazil, school dropout exceeded the limits of public schools and can no longer be understood as an unfolding of social factors. One of the explanatory hypotheses for this fact relates boredom, lack of concentration and learning difficulties in the classroom to the constant experiences of children and teenagers in virtual environments. An alternative solution consists of using new technologies at school. However, it is likely that methodological changes are counterproductive if the disciplinary bases of the school system are maintained, as the negative effects of coercion are incompatible with the freedom experienced virtually. This study aims to present relationships between non-coercion and staying in school. For this purpose, it presents the theoretical assumption that underlies an action research implemented at the University of Amazônia, in Belém: spontaneous and pleasurable engagement in activities and recognition of personal and social value are positive effects of non-coercive interactions. Therefore, we investigate whether the formation of small groups with non-coercive characteristics in schools favors among students the development of a pleasurable engagement in academic activities. University students present literary texts to groups of about fifteen students, opening space on a weekly basis for shared reading, reflections and dialogue with the absence of performance evaluations. We have obtained positive results in areas such as assertiveness, empathy, resilience, creativity, autonomy and pleasure in reading, which unfolds in pleasure in studying. We expect that historically naturalized coercion in schools is brought to the center of attention, so that learning can be dissociated from fear and avoidance.

“…It has been noted that downstream species diversity is on average 30% higher than upstream between 2006 and 2015, but in the last year of monitoring (2015) the number almost equals (Figure 4). This fact may have the following explanations: (i) the greater effort and volume captured upstream increases the chances of catchability and depletion of the species existing therein as already indicated in figure 3; (ii) there is no UHE downstream to the mouth of the Tocantins River, consequently during the flood season, a greater diversity of fish climbs the river to spawn, as the mouth of the Tocantins flows into the Guajará bay complex, river Pará, Guamá and the fluvial group of the Amazon river (Almeida, 2010) and (iii) downstream of the UHE there are initiatives for sustainable fisheries management through co-management and fisheries agreements, which has resulted in improved quality and quantity of fish at downstream (Silvano et al, 2014;Vilhena, 2017). It is worth noting that even with greater diversity downstream, the rapid lowering of water in the headwaters and marginal lagoons (caused by the dam) causes intense mortality of eggs, larvae and fingerlings (Juras et al, 2004).…”

The Tocantins-Araguaia basin is the second largest in Brazil and the most extensive in the drainage area totally placed in Brazilian territory. A time series of fishery production of more than 30 years of Tucuruí Hydroeletric dam, between 1981 and 2016, in low Tocantins, in ten landing harbor (five upstream and five downstream) was analyzed to compare productivity and indicate suggestions for better planning and public policies focused on the fishery resources in this basin. After analyzing over 16,000 landing data, CPUE (kg / day) indicated that after an exponential growth upstream in the first 15 years of the dam, there was a decline trend in fish stocks up to 2016, mainly upstream. The biodiversity of the ichthyofauna was higher downstream and Mapará H. marginatus was the main species captured. It is concluded that the maintenance and accessibility by society of a program to monitoring landings in the region, as well as studies of population dynamics in order to better plan the fishing effort, is fundamental. It should also be emphasized that environmental education should focus on the involvement of fishing communities, alerting public managers about the importance of knowledge about productivity and that the decline trend of upstream stocks should be considered in the formulation or incentive of policies aimed at development of artisanal fisheries on Tocantins-Araguaia basin.

“…El área de estudio se encuentra inmersa en la zona de transición entre las microrregiones de la Amazonia Central y Oriental al noreste de Pará y la microrregión del Bajo Tocantins y Tucurui (Almeida, 2010). De acuerdo con la clasificación de Köppen, el clima que predomina en la región es tropical húmedo, con una estación seca corta y una estación más húmeda y prolongada durante el año que es alimentada por el clima del bosque tropical.…”
