Variation of the Chlorophyll a Related to Sea Surface Temperature, Wind and Geostrophic Currents in the Cape Verde Region Using Satellite Data

We present a comparative analysis of satellite derived climatologies in the Cape Verde region (CV). In order to establish chlorophyll a variability, in relation to other oceanographic phenomena, a set of, relatively long (from five to eight years), time series of chlorophyll a, sea surface temperature, wind and geostrophic currents, were ensembled for the Eastern Central Atlantic (ECA). We studied seasonal and inter-annual variability of phytoplankton concentration, in relation to the rest of the variables, with a special focus in CV. We compared the situation within the archipelago with those of the surrounding marine environments, such as the North West African Upwelling (NWAU), North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre (NASTG), North Equatorial Counter Current (NECC) and Guinea Dome (GD). At the seasonal scale, CV region behaves partly as the surrounding areas, nevertheless, some autochthonous features were also found. The maximum peak of the pigment having a positive correlation with temperature is found at the end of the year for all the points in the archipelago; a less remarkable rise with negative correlation is also detected in February for points CV2 and CV4. This is behavior that none of the surrounding environments have shown. This enrichment was found to be preceded by a drastic drop in wind intensity (SW Monsoon) during summer months. The inter-annual analysis shows a tendency for decreasing of the chlorophyll a concentration.

Branqueamento de capitais e financiamento do terrorismo: Controlo e prevenção - Caso sector bancário cabo-verdiano

O presente trabalho intitulado “Branqueamento de Capitais e Financiamento do Terrorismo: Controlo e Prevenção”, enquadra-se no âmbito de licenciatura em Contabilidade e Administração, ramo Auditoria, com o objectivo de aferir o estado de desenvolvimento do sector bancário Cabo-Verdiano, em termos de controlo e prevenção do branqueamento de capitais e financiamento do terrorismo (BC/FT), nomeadamente perceber qual o nível de preparação existente, para fazer face às 40 recomendações do GAFI e outras organizações e identificar o progresso feito no sector desde 2009 nesta temática, nomeadamente após a entrada em vigor da Lei n.º 38/VII/2009, de 27 de Abril. O desenvolvimento deste trabalho científico integra-se num quadro metodológico em que se incidiu sobre a abordagem quantitativa e exploratória, aplicando o inquérito por questionário. Com este trabalho de pesquisa, conclui-se que em Cabo Verde, no sector bancário, vem se fazendo, nos últimos quatro anos, progressos substanciais em alguns dos aspectos em análise no âmbito do controlo e prevenção de branqueamento de capitais e do combate ao financiamento do terrorismo. This current work entitled "Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism: Prevention and Control", has been written in the context of a degree in Accounting and Management, Audit Branch, in order to assess the state of development of the banking sector of Cape Verde in the control and prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF), including to notice what level of preparation existing, to meet the FATF 40 Recommendations and other organizations and identify the progress made in the sector since 2009 in this theme, especially after the entry into force of Law no. 38/VII/2009 , April 27 th . The development of this scientific work is part of a methodological framework that is focused on exploratory and quantitative approach, using the questionnaire survey. With this research, it is concluded that in Cape Verde, in the banking sector has been doing for the past four years, substantial progress in some of the aspects analyzed under control and prevention of money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism.
