The opportunities and risks associated with privatizing railways in Latin America

Most railways in Latin America were built by private firms, often foreign owned. Over time, owing to a combination of nationalizations and competition from road transport, virtually all railways passed into government hands; the railroad industry became more and more of a white elephant for the Government because of the ever-increasing subsidies it swallowed up, its dwindling role in national economies, and a conviction that Governments should not be involved in productive activities. Consequently, the late 1980s saw the start of a trend towards denationalization of railways, with the latter being turned over to private, often foreign, interests. In this way, the railway industry in Latin America has come full circle in the space of 150 years. So far, there has not been any assessment of the recent privatization of railways in Latin America. However, the conclusion would probably be that: (i) privatization has on the whole been successful, and (ii) the results achieved would have been more positive still, had some things been done slightly differently. One problem is that the bidding process has failed to take into account the positive externalities associated with railways, such as the contribution they make to reducing road maintenance costs and environmental damage caused by road transport. Another unresolved issue is whether to put the entire railway system up for tender, or to invite separate bids for infrastructure and services. Economies of scale operate in the railway industry, favouring the existence of a number of rail companies. In the past, the railway companies of neighbouring countries such as Argentina and Paraguay, and Bolivia and Chile, enjoyed ties at director level, but these came to an end with the nationalization of railways. Now that the era of State involvement is itself drawing to a close, we can expect to see the formation of integrated railway systems, one of which might extend from Quijarro, on the border between Bolivia and Brazil, to Puerto Montt in the south of Chile.

Políticas de formação docente do Projeto Escola Cabana: dilemas e desafios da implementação do Programa de Formação Continuada

A presente pesquisa trata das Políticas Públicas Educacionais de Formação Docente. Seu objeto de estudo é a formação continuada dos docentes que vêm integrando o Projeto Político-Pedagógico Escola Cabana, em Belém, Pará, no período de 1997 a 2004 e objetiva analisar as propostas de políticas de formação docente continuada no contexto das reformas educativas contemporâneas e do Projeto acima citado. Especificamente busca-se: a) Identificar e analisar as concepções de formação continuada presentes na política educacional do município de Belém no período 1997 2004; b) Compreender o papel dos professores no processo de definição e implementação das políticas de formação continuada de Belém; c) Identificar e caracterizar as contribuições do Programa de Formação Continuada para a consolidação do Projeto Político-Pedagógico Escola Cabana, d) Apontar os dilemas e desafios impulsionados pela política educacional em estudo. O percurso metodológico caracteriza um estudo de caso o qual foi desenvolvido em uma escola da Rede Municipal de Educação Belém. Para atingir os objetivos propostos foi feito estudo teórico sobre a temática, análise de conteúdo dos documentos oficiais da Secretaria Municipal de Educação (SEMEC) e de onze entrevistas realizadas (sendo oito com docentes e três com gestores da Política Educacional em estudo) o que permitiu articular as seguintes categorias de análise: contradição e participação. A pesquisa evidencia que a formação continuada docente é ponto-chave para consolidação do projeto em estudo, mas enfrenta dilemas e desafios no sentido de organizar de forma mais contínua as formações, aproximando o foco para as realidades das escolas, buscando resgatar de forma mais consistente o professor como sujeito histórico do processo educativo.

Medicamentos utilizados no controle da hipertensão no Distrito Administrativo DAGUA em Belém, PA

A Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) é uma condição associada a elevados índices de morbidade e mortalidade com baixas taxas de controle, sendo um dos mais importantes problemas de saúde publica no mundo. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório de natureza transversal e observacional, realizado em cinco unidades de saúde do Distrito Administrativo DAGUA, localizadas no municipio de Belém-PA, no período entre março de 2010 a agosto de 2011. A pesquisa também realizou estudo documental onde informações foram transcritas, para formulários da pesquisa. Este estudo buscou conhecer a logística de suprimento e o perfil de utilização de medicamentos para o controle da Pressão Arterial Sistêmica no Distrito Administrativo DAGUA. Para tanto foram investigados o perfil sóciodemográfico dos participantes do programa HIPERDIA, quais os medicamentos disponibilizados pela rede municipal de saúde para o tratamento da HAS, assim como a logística empregada pelo município para a disponbibilidade de acesso aos mesmos. A população deste estudo se caracterizou por ser principalmente idosa, com baixa escolaridade e predominantemente formada por pardos. Observou-se, que 53,78% dos pacientes faz uso de monoterapia e 46,22% de politerapia. 36,84% utiliza somente Captopril. 65,31% dos pacientes que fazem politerapia utilizam a associação de Captopril e hidroclorotiazida. Não se encontrou correlações significativas entre os aspectos socioeconômicos dos participantes e o controle dos níveis de pressão arterial. O conhecimento sobre a HAS não influenciou os resultados da PA. 51,96% dos pacientes apresenta PA não controlada. Em função da falta de abastecimento de medicamentos nas unidades de saúde e do perfil socioeconômico dos usuários, o Programa Farmácia Popular do Brasil apresenta-se como uma importante estrátegia para o acesso desses pacientes ao seu tratamento. Por fim, resumindo os achados, observou-se que o ciclo logístico da Assistência Farmacêutica em Belém – em especial as etapas de programação, aquisição e dispensação de medicamentos – não respeita o atual arcabouço legal que regulamenta a Política Nacional de Assistência Farmacêutica. Contatou-se falta de uniformização entre os medicamentos programados para unidades localizadas na mesma região, além da grande diferença entre as condições de compra dos medicamentos quando comparado a outras licitações, que chegam a gerar diferenças de preços de até 3000%. Conclui-se que que a gestão técnica da assistência farmacêutica no município de Belém é inefetiva e ineficiente para o cuidado de pacientes portadores de Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica.

Comparação das variáveis hemodinâmicas durante o teste de caminhada de seis minutos e o teste de escada em adultos saudáveis

The effort test can be used to assess functional capacity, clinical hemodynamic and metabolic response at the effort, the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications and to assess the response of patients with lung diseases submitted to physiotherapy treatment. Among the stress tests we highlight the Six Minute Test Walk (6 MWT) and Stair Climbing Test (SCT), because they are easy to use and low cost. Especially the SCT is widely used in patients preoperatively. Objective: To compare the effects of six minute walk test and stair climbing test under the hemodynamic and oxygenation in healthy adults. Methods: We conducted a study with healthy subjects above 50 years. The fi rst performed was 6 MWT in quick step with encouragement, in a plan corridor of 30 meters, where the shade was determined the distance walked in 6 minutes, after 6 MWT was performed de SCT with encouragement, on a ladder in shade, consists of 44 steps, with 4 bids and bid by 11 steps, each step measured 16 cm in a total of 7.04 m of height, where the rise time was clocked. Before and after the two tests were measured respiratory rate, pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation. Results: We evaluated 21 patients with age 59.6 ± 5.4 years, 5 men and 16 women. The average distance covered on the 6MWT was 496.4 ± 102.2 meters and the average time in SCT 22.6 ± 5.4 seconds. The variables pulse, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure and Borg scale presented a signifi - cant increase after the tests, however the variables oxygen saturation and diastolic blood pressure did not change signifi cantly. Conclusion: The variables pulse, respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure and Borg scale tests increased after six-minute walk test and stair climbing test but with greater signifi cance after the stair climbing test. Oxygen saturation and diastolic blood pressure did not change signifi cantly after the tests.

Análise comparativa do mercado imobiliário em Cidades Médias: a oferta de apartamentos, casas e terrenos urbanos em Campina Grande – PB, Mossoró – RN e Passo Fundo – RS

This presente monograph propose the analysis and discussion of the production of urban space and the processes of their structuring intraurbana from the dynamics of the real estate market into three Medium-sized Cities, Campina Grande - PB, Mossoró - RN and Passo Fundo - RS, whereas the various agents producing this space, in a comparative perspective. From this urban dynamic search to analyze the processes and relations present in these spaces, which are important for its production. From the compilation of real estate advertisements in local newspapers, are analyzed offerings of urban land, houses and apartments in each one of these cities by highlighting their locations and differentiated prices. Thus, working with data from real estate ads from the period 1995 - 2010 and a comparative perspective of the characteristics of real estate markets of three medium-sized cities, it tried to apprehend processes that are common between them and other individuals, to each one. Therefore the comparative analysis developed in this monograph sought to verify whether there are similarities between the cities in relation to the trends of concentration/spatial dispersion of bids and movements throughout time, in addition to a further intensification of the activities of real estate agents in face of such trends and offerings. In addition, we sought to remove a set of problematization that allow them to understand with more acute, in this set of medium cities of Brazilian urban network, processes of change that is already being discussed in the recent period by ReCiMe.

Estudo e análise do risco e da viabilidade econômica do mercado cativo e do mercado livre de energia elétrica no terceiro ciclo tarifário

In 2004 two trading environment for contracts of purchase and of electricity energy were established, the Regulated Contracting Environment (RGE) and the Free Contracting Environment (FCE). In the first one, consumers can only buy their energy directly from local electricity distribution, and in the second one, consumers can choose their delivery, amount and type of energy that they will burn through bilateral contracts. Thus, before deciding to migrate to the FCE, it is necessary understanding the rules of marketing, the risk involved and the economic viability of the two markets so can determine which environment has more benefits to the consumer. This paper aims to offer tools to support takeover decision of potentially free costumers, who have the option to migrate to market in order to evaluate the benefits and disadvantages of each market. This paper has also considered the new rules of the third rate cycle, where consumers can opt for green tax. The methodology presented is based on calculations of spending with energy and the risk of flag in captive market and free market in one year

Were also raised examples of similar cases around the world to establish parameters for subsequent conceptual framework and guidelines for intervention. For the preparation of the feasibility of the intervention demolition of the high was studied. Finally guidelines for interventions were high bids, as well as a planning model using the methodology Canvas

Utilização da função Desirability em um processo de fundição de aço ABNT 1030

This dissertation addresses the main theme the use of desirability tool in optimizing a process with multiple response variables. The current scenario of strong bids to conquer the consumer market makes it necessary to develop improvements for better process performance as a whole, is to cut costs, increase efficiency or effectiveness. Thus, the use of methods to assist in this process is becoming increasingly feasible. This study used the MINITAB program and the data of the doctoral thesis of Dr. Luiz Henrique Dias Alves, in order to compare the results obtained in both studies. As a result, after applying the desirability method, simulated to optimize two responses variables regarding the formation of voids related to solidification in ABNT 1030 steel casting process. Thus, it was possible to evaluate the behavior of the variables with the variation of parameters of the desirability function

Deleghe di voto e acquisto del controllo nelle societa' quotate

A fronte dal recepimento del direttiva SHR nel nostro ordinamento, realizzato dal d.lgs. 27/2010, il presente lavoro si propone anzitutto di analizzare l'attuale ruolo della delega di voto - sollecitata e non - per poi verificare quale sia l'interesse concretamente sotteso a un voto così esercitato, con particolare attenzione alla sollecitazione di deleghe di voto, oggi destinata espressamente (per la prevalente dottrina) a consentire al promotore il perseguimento di interessi propri. Le considerazioni riguardo all'interesse concretamente sotteso al voto esercitato per delega portano a vagliarne la rilevanza ai fini della nozione di controllo, ex art. 2359 c.c., la quale esclude espressamente dai voti rilevanti esclusivamente quelli esercitati "per conto terzi", e non, dunque, anche quelli esercitati nell'interesse proprio da un soggetto non titolare della partecipazione. Viene quindi affrontata la principale critica ad un controllo raggiunto per tale via e, più in generale, attraverso una delle varie forme di dissociazione tra titolarità della partecipazione e legittimazione all'esercizio del voto ad essa relativo, ovvero la apparente mancanza di stabilità. Considerando tuttavia che ogni ipotesi di controllo c.d. di fatto per definizione non gode di stabilità se non si scelga di ammettere una valutazione di tale requisito necessariamente prognostica ed ex ante, si giunge alla conclusione che la fattispecie di un controllo acquisito tramite sollecitazione di deleghe si distingue da altre ipotesi di controllo di fatto esclusivamente per la maggiore difficoltà dell'accertamento in fatto del requisito della stabilità. Si affronta infine la possibilità di garantire il diritto di exit (ovvero una tutela risarcitoria) del socio di minoranza che veda modificate le condizioni di rischio del proprio investimento a causa di una modifica del soggetto controllante derivante da sollecitazione di deleghe, tramite applicazione diretta della disciplina OPA ovvero riconducendo la fattispecie all'art. 2497quater, lett. d, ove ne ricorrano i presupposti.

Premio "Capitale verde europea". Studio di una politica dell'Unione europea in tema di sostenibilità ambientale con approfondimento terminologico sul minieolico.

This dissertation is divided into four chapters and combines the study of the European Green Capital Award with a terminology research on small wind turbines, a technical subject in the macro-area of sustainable cities. Chapter I aims at giving an overview of the development of environmental policies and treaties both at the international and European level. Then, after highlighting the crucial role of cities for the global environment, the chapter outlines the urban dimension of the EU environmental policies and defines the vision of a sustainable city promoted by the European Union. Chapter II contains an in-depth analysis of the European Green Capital Award and illustrates its aims, the entire designation process, its communication campaign and its evolution. Chapter III focuses on applicant, finalist and winning cities in order to study the aspect of participation in the competition. It also contains a detailed analysis of two European Green Capitals, i.e. Nantes and Bristol, who respectively won the title in 2013 and 2015. Based on a variety of sources, this chapter examines the successful aspects of their bids and communication campaigns during their year as Green Capitals. Chapter IV presents the terminology research in the field of small wind turbines and the resulting bilingual glossary in English and Italian. The research was carried out using two terminology tools: TranslatorBank and InterpretBank. The former is composed by two software programmes, CorpusCreator and MiniConcordancer DB, which were used to semi-automatically create specialized corpora from the Web and then extract terminology and occurrences of terms from the collected texts. The latter is a software which has been specifically designed for interpreters in order to help them optimize their professional workflow, from gathering information and creating glossaries on a specific subject to the actual interpreting task at a conference. InterpretBank’s tool TermMode was used to create a glossary with term equivalents and additional information such as definitions and the contexts of use.
