Desenvolvimento da Suécia durante os Anos dourados do Capitalismo: fatores históricos, ascensão do Welfare State, influências de Gunnar Myrdal e o modelo Rehn-Meidner

A Suécia está entre os países desenvolvidos que mais obtiveram êxito na construção do seu Estado de Bem-Estar Social (Welfare State). Esta instituição amadureceu durante os Anos Dourados do Capitalismo (1945 - 1975). O sucesso na sua construção pode estar ligado a uma série de fatores, como: o contexto internacional de Bretton Woods; as raízes históricas do país, com suas especificidades institucionais, econômicas e sociais; a atuação do Partido Social Democrata sueco, que contou com a participação de Gunnar Myrdal, um grande pensador econômico e um dos maiores teóricos referentes ao Welfare State; o Modelo Rehn-Meidner, que foi elaborado na década de 1950 e visou crescimento econômico, pleno emprego, controle inflacionário e equalização da renda simultaneamente através de políticas macroeconômicas contracionistas, Políticas Ativas no Mercado de Trabalho e Política de Salário Solidário. Dado tudo isto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é entender o processo de desenvolvimento do país e do seu Welfare State, analisando as medidas adotadas no período de 1950 a 1975, com particular interesse em identificar as possíveis influências que o Modelo Rehn-Meidner e o pensamento econômico e político de Gunnar Myrdal tiveram na escolha das políticas que contribuíram para o desenvolvimento do país. Além disso, será analisado o ambiente internacional da época, bem como a História da Suécia, com a finalidade de identificar se e como outros fatores contribuíram para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico da Suécia e do seu Estado de Bem-Estar Social

Evaluation of Brazilian woods as an alternative to oak for cachacas aging

Cachaca was aged for 6 months in small casks of oak and eight different Brazilian woods (amarelo, amendoim, balsamo, jatoba, louro, pau d'arco, pau d'oleo, and pereiro) in order to determine total phenols, UV-visible spectra differences, and sensorial acceptance. Also used were 200-l casks of oak and pereiro for aging cachaca for 4 years to characterize sensorial descriptors and acceptance. The results suggest that amendoim and pereiro followed by jatobaa are good candidates to replace oak in the construction of cachaca aging casks. It was also observed that when using oak casks as a standard the major changes in the sensory properties occurred in the first 21 months of aging. The principal components analysis of UV-visible absorption spectra of the same beverage stored in casks made of different woods allowed identification of the wood in which the beverage had been aged.

Kraft pulp from juvenile and mature woods of corymbia citriodora

Kraft pulp produced from juvenile and mature wood from thirty-two-year-old Corymbia citriodora trees was evaluated. The stem was subdivided into regions of juvenile and mature wood, and then it was transformed into chips. These materials were then cooked in the Laboratory of Pulp and Paper at São Paulo State University (UNESP, Botucatu, SP, Brazil) and the physico-mechanical properties of the pulps were determined. The results showed that: (1) the pulp yields of mature wood were up to 4.4% greater in comparison to the juvenile wood, (2) the juvenile wood pulp required a shorter refining time than mature wood to reach the same Schopper-Riegler degree, (3) the juvenile wood pulp presented lower specific volume, and (4) the mature wood pulp presented greater air resistance, tensile, tear and burst index values, stress-strain factor, and stretch than the juvenile wood pulp.

New gymnospermous woods from the Permian of the Parnaíba Basin, Northeastern Brazil, Part II: Damudoxylon, Kaokoxylon and Taeniopitys

This is the second contribution on the Permian permineralized flora of the Parnaíba Basin, NE Brazil that focuses on the gymnosperm woods from the Motuca Formation. We describe five new species of gymnospermous woods Damudoxylon buritiranaense sp. nov., Damudoxylon humile sp. nov., Damudoxylon roessleri sp. nov., Kaokoxylon punctatum sp. nov. and Taeniopitys tocantinensis sp. nov., and one new form, Taeniopitys sp. 1. The woods vary widely in their anatomy, mainly in their pith features, from simple parenchymatic to solenoid piths with canals and ducts, as well as different cells, such as secretory and sclerenchymatic ones. However, they have one characteristic in common - araucarian pitting in the radial walls of the tracheids. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Effect of thermal modification on the physical properties of juvenile and mature woods of Eucalyptus grandis

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of thermal treatment on the physical properties of juvenile and mature woods of Eucalyptus grandis. Boards were taken from 30-year-old E. grandis trees. The boards were thermally modified at 180 °C in the Laboratory of Wood Drying and Preservation at UNESP, Botucatu, Sao Paulo state, Brazil. The results showed that thermal modification caused: (1) decrease of 6.8% in the density at 0% equilibrium moisture content of mature wood; (2) significant decreases of 14.7% and 35.6% in the maximum volumetric swellings of juvenile and mature woods, respectively; (3) significant decreases of 13.7% and 21.3% in the equilibrium moisture content of juvenile and mature woods, respectively. The influence of thermal modification in juvenile wood was lower than in mature wood and caused greater uniformity in the physical variations between these types of wood in E. grandis.

Presupuestos participativos (PPs) e instituciones participativas (IPs) en Brasil: criterios (y marco) para la evaluación de experiencias y casos

This paper identifies relevant criteria for evaluation of participatory budgeting and participatory institutions that are currently adopted by governments of both Brazil and elsewhere, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive assessment that integrates all these criteria. Finally, it is recommended to pay special attention to assessing the desirability of these institutions, which are not always positively for theories on democracy
