O campo na luta por seus direitos: uma an��lise sobre a rela����o entre os trabalhadores rurais campistas e os direitos trabalhistas no Rio de Janeiro durante o per��odo democr��tico(1945-1964)

A presente disserta����o prop��e um di��logo entre a hist��ria social dos movimentos rurais e a hist��ria social do Direito e para tanto investigamos a trajet��ria dos trabalhadores rurais da lavoura canavieira de Campos dos Goytacazes e as lutas empreendidas por estes, em meios institucionais ou n��o, pelos seus direitos trabalhistas entre os anos de 1945 �� 1964. A trajet��ria da organiza����o sindical dos trabalhadores rurais de Campos dos Goytacazes, o processo de proletariza����o vivenciado pelos canavieiros campistas a partir dos anos 1940 e a mobiliza����o destes em greves e paralisa����es foram analisados no sentindo de resgatar a forma����o de uma identidade pol��tica entre a classe trabalhadora rural campista no decorrer do per��odo democr��tico. Paralelamente, a an��lise dos diss��dios individuais e coletivos promovidos pelo proletariado rural de Campos dos Goytacazes nos ac��rd��os julgados pelo Tribunal Regional do Trabalho da 1Regi��o teve como objetivo evidenciar a exist��ncia de uma cultura jur��dica entre os canavieiros campistas e seus representantes legais que permitia a estes elaborarem apropria����es da legisla����o trabalhista tornando leg��timos direitos sociais que aparentemente eram lhe negados, bem como observar os limites de demandas como justi��a e igualdade numa sociedade classista.

Maryland commercial fisheries statistics, 1944-1945

This report presents a statistical analyses of the "fin" fisheries, as distinguished from the crab and oyster fisheries of Maryland, for 1944 and 1945. Comparative data on the catch by species, by area, and by gear, based principally on daily reports from the fishermen, are available for the first time as a result of a comprehensive statistical survey made by the Department of Research and Eduction to determine the results of the new management plan for the fisheries, referred to as the Maryland Management Plan. With the initiation in 1941 of a new system of fishery management in the State, a conservation plan based on the principle of stabilized fishing effort, it became obvious that a more accurate catch record system was needed for the proper administration of the program. The Management Plan stabilized the number of licensed fishermen at the 1939-1940 level, and provided for controlled expansion of the fishery to take place only when and where the industry warranted it as a result of increased fish populations. The text of the Plan may be found in Article 39, Section 60, Annotated Code of Maryland, 1943 Supplement. Publications 1, 2, 5, and 6 of the Educational Series of the Department of Research and Education explain the operating principles and the application of same to two important Maryland species, the shad and the rock or striped bass. Ocean fishery records only cover monthly gross landings.

Wadge Bank trawl fishery studies. Pt. 2. The effect of trawling on the catch per hour from 1945 to 1960

The object of this series of papers has been given in Part 1 (see Additional informations for details) which deals with the first known commercial fishery on the Wadge Bank from 1928 to 1935. There is no recorded trawling on the Bank between 1936 and 1944. This paper deals with the changes in the total catch (i.e. all species combined) per hour of trawling in relation to the changes in fishing intensity from 1945, when the present trawling activities started, to 1960. The effect of trawling on individual categories or varieties will be presented later.

Disease problems in shrimp sector in Khulna district of Bangladesh: a question of sustainability

Disease is the main restraining factor for the development of shrimp sector in Bangladesh. Both brackish water shrimp bagda (Penaeus monodon) and freshwater prawn golda, (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) farming in Bangladesh have been facing disease problem. A study on disease outbreak in both brackish water and freshwater small-scale shrimp farms (gher) in Khulna district was carried out through interviewing randomly selected 3-5% of shrimp farmers with a structured questionnaire during March to December, 2002. The study showed that 97% bagda farming ghers and 80% golda farming ghers were affected by disease. White spot disease was the severe disease for bagda, whereas, antenna rot was the main disease for freshwater prawn. Change of water and liming were carried out as control measures of disease for bagda shrimp farming, while it was only liming for golda farming. A small number of shrimp farmers (15%) used chemicals for treatment of shrimp diseases. Development of suitable farming technology to prevent disease contamination and innovation of proper treatments for diseases are required to overcome the disease problems for sustainable shrimp farming in Bangladesh.

Mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequence diversity in the Korean hare, Lepus coreanus Thomas (Mammalia, Lagomorpha)

Partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene of the Korean hare (Lepus coreanus) were analyzed to determine the degree of genetic diversity. Nine haPlotyes were observed, and the maximum Tamura-Nei nucleotide distance among them was 2.8%, indicating that genetic diversity of L. coreanus is moderate. In order to clarify the Korean hare's taxonomic status and relationship with the Manchurian hare (L. mandshuricus) and the Chinese hare (L. sinensis), these nine haplotypes of the Korean hare were compared with 13 haplotypes from five other species of eastern Asian Lepus including L. mandshwicus and L. sinensis. The Korean hare was distinct in its cytochrome b gene, and it is confirmed that L. coreanus is a valid species, as noted by Jones and Johnson (1965, Univ. Kansas Publ. (Mus. Nat. Hist.) 16:357). Further analyses of mtDNA cytochrome b gene with additional specimens of L. coreanus from North Korea and other species of Lepus from eastern Asia are needed to clarify the taxonomic status of the divergent mtDNA clades of L. mandshuricus and L. sinensis.

Understanding university academics' internal and external knowledge interactions in different disciplines: evidence from university in South Korea

Most of the literature on the role of universities in innovation assumes that academics���� knowledge interacts only with industry and knowledge transfer occurs only or mainly in the technological and scientific fields. We question these assumptions, suggesting academics���� internal and external knowledge interact across disciplines. Using national survey data, this paper tries to show the heterogeneity of university teachers���� knowledge interactions across wider disciplines. Also, this paper explores the patterns of university academics���� internal knowledge interactions with other academics within academia and the university academics���� external knowledge interactions with industry, such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and major Korean firms, Chaebols. We found that there are heterogeneities of academics���� knowledge interactions across the disciplines.

A systematic approach for improving the quality of official statistics: Case of Korean information and telecommunication industry

With the rapid growth of information and communication technology (ICT) in Korea, there was a need to improve the quality of official ICT statistics. In order to do this, various factors had to be considered, such as the quality of surveying, processing, and output as well as the reputation of the statistical agency. We used PLS estimation to determine how these factors might influence customer satisfaction. Furthermore, through a comparison of associated satisfaction indices, we provided feedback to the responsible statistics agency. It appears that our model can be used as a tool for improving the quality of official ICT statistics. �� 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
