Notas sobre o capitalismo agrário no Brasil

Este artigo analisa a questão do capitalismo agrário brasileiro, tomando como campo para reflexão tanto tendências gerais do desenvolvimento do capitalismo no Brasil, como o desenvolvimento do capitalismo na região da Alta Sorocabana. O artigo divide-se em quatro partes: a primeira parte constitui-se na colocação do problema, e nela são elaboradas basicamente duas idéias que o artigo discute, quais sejam: I) haveria uma incapacidade do capitalismo rural de submeter completamente o trabalhador rural a suas regras, e 2) haveria uma incapacidade propriamente empresarial por parte dos proprietários de terra, o que os torna mais proprietários que empresários. Na segunda parte reflete-se sobre a primeira idéia, levando-se em conta aspectos encontrados na A Ita Sorocabana. A terceira parte é uma discussão da segunda questão, amplamente apoiada nos resultados de pesquisa empírica, e na quarta parte se chega a algumas tentativas de conclusões.

Hydrosedimentological disequilibrium in a small, urbanized watershed

AIM: In this paper we estimate the sediment yield and other related information for a small urbanized watershed, located in Sorocaba, São Paulo State. The driving forces that produce the observed scenario are presented and discussed; METHODS: Over a year, water samples and hydrologic information concerning the river channel were collected monthly at one sampling site. In the laboratory, water samples were oven dried (80 ºC) and the total suspended solid weighed for each sample. To estimate sediment yield we used Colby's simplified method. The sediment delivery ratio (SDR) was estimated using two methods: the relief - length ratio and the bifurcation ratio; RESULTS: The annual sediment yield estimated for the period was 1,636.1 t. The total specific sediment yield was 541.7 t.km -2.y-1. Bedload was the predominant fraction. The SDR changed between 60 and 66% according to the method employed. CONCLUSIONS: The main driving forces of hydrosedimentological disequilibrium are the lack of riparian vegetation, the dumping of construction wastes at inadequate sites, and the launching of untreated sewage. Hence, if these three factors were controlled, a significant improvement in the environmental quality, particularly water quality, might be achieved.

Os alunos de administração estão em sintonia com o mercado de trabalho?

This article provides a survey of the demands placed by the labor market in relation to the profile of business administration professionals. It describes the characteristics of such profile and analyzes how UNESP/Tupa´s administration students fare in relation to such questions. The points raised show that the labor market is interested not only in technical-academic knowledge but also in knowledge and interpersonal and extracurricular skills. These points were identified through studies of the pertinent literature study and based on consultation of apprenticeship and employment forms of UNESP/Tupa´s job extension project for Internships and Jobs. The comparison between these sources made it possible to identify the main skills sought by companies when searching for an administrator. With the characterization of the object of study it was possible to compare the stage level in which the student was placed (3rd , 5th and 7th semesters), in regard to both day and night shifts, verifying whether these skills evolved with the student´s trajectory through the program. The study also concludes that it is not enough for administration students to restrict their training to academic knowledge. An appropriate profile demands the development of extracurricular activities that enhance competencies such as computer skills and languages. Relevant findings demonstrated that the education of students and how they react to demands are strongly connected to market demands.

Reconstruction of the Environmental Quality Fuzzy Index

In the world stage, the environmental condition has been a big public policies issue. A clear understanding of the parameters that determine the state of the environment is essential for estimation of the quality of life of the population, not least since ecosystems are highly complex. Consequently, definition of public policies demands the use of evaluation tools that can combine and quantify information in a clear way. The use of indicators and indices that are able to translate the complexity of environmental conditions in cities into simpler terms has been increasingly effective in decision-making, since they assist in general evaluation of the situation in question, identification of priority actions and anticipation of future trends. In an attempt to evaluate the environmental conditions of the Brazilian city, Sorocaba, an Environmental Quality Fuzzy Index (IFQAmb) was proposed. In this work this methodology is improved. After reviewing the IFQAmb methodology, a number of changes in the index are proposed. Additional variables are suggested, derived from a State Environment Department program whose objective is to grant municipalities the title of Municipio Verde e Azul (Green and Blue City). In addition, a new rule base is being drafted to enable consideration of all possibilities, since in the existing version the use of specific criteria eliminates a significant number of rules. The changes seek to define with clarity and precision the conceptual aspects and structure of the IFQAmb, so that it can provide an even more effective evaluation of environmental performance, guiding future actions in order to improve the living conditions of the population of Sorocaba.

Fuzzy Index for Public Supply Water Quality

Human population growth and increased industrial activity in recent decades have contributed to a range of environmental problems, including the contamination of groundwater and surface water. In order to help in the management of these resources, water quality indices are used as tools to summarize multiple parameters and express them in the form of a single number. The ability to provide both an integrated assessment of changes in environmental variables, as well as performance tracking, has resulted in such indices being increasingly employed in surface water monitoring programs. The aim of this study was to develop an Index for Public Supply Water Quality (IPS) using a fuzzy inference methodology. Linguistic systems generally provide satisfactory tools for qualitative purposes, enabling the inclusion of descriptive variables with reduced loss of individual information. Validation of the technique was achieved by analysis of measurement data obtained for the Sorocaba River, provided by CETESB. The new procedure proved more rigorous, compared to classical IPS. It could be readily applied in the evaluation of other water bodies, or be adjusted to incorporate additional parameters also considered important for the assessment of water quality.
