O jornal a noite e as eleições de 1962

Este trabalho tem como objetivo levantar quais eram as principais ideias e valores da cultura política nacional divulgadas pelo jornal A Noite durante os meses que antecederam as eleições de 1962, e em que medida eles refletiam os interesses do grupo representado pela agência de publicidade Incrementadora de Vendas Promotion. Em 1962, A Noite foi acusado de receber dinheiro para seguir a linha política do Instituto Brasileiro de Ação Democrática (Ibad). Nesse trabalho discute-se a abordagem dada pelo periódico ao governo João Goulart e seus aliados, que frequentemente foram alvo de críticas. Por meio da leitura detalhada dos editoriais, notícias e matérias publicados pelo jornal tenta-se estabelecer se houve ou não uma intensificação na oposição política do jornal ao governo federal, e que tipo de valores políticos era mais comum, dentro e fora do período eleitoral.

Contrarrevolucionários e dissidentes nos discursos de Fidel Castro, 1959 1962

A história das oposições é um tema fundamental para entender a Revolução Cubana. As manifestações de desacordo com processo revolucionário foram simultâneas ao triunfo de 1 de Janeiro de 1959 e nos anos posteriores se desenvolveram a partir de condicionamentos internos e externos. Nessa dissertação, analisamos a representação feita por Fidel Castro dos contrarrevolucionários e dos dissidentes e de que forma os atores e setores que participaram daquela história se tornaram obstáculos para o desenvolvimento do projeto político formulado pelo grupo encabeçado por Castro. Utilizamos os discursos pronunciados por Fidel entre os anos de 1959 a 1962 para investigarmos a relação existente entre a representação das oposições feita pelo comandante e o processo de centralização política em torno de um núcleo dirigente.

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965): a Preeminent Fishery Biologist of the Early and Mid Twentieth Century

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965) was a preeminent fishery scientist of the early to mid twentieth century. Educated at Stanford University in California (B.A. 1911, Ph.D. 1930), Thompson conducted pioneering research on the Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis, from 1914 to 1917 for the British Columbia Provincial Fisheries Department. He then directed marine fisheries research for the State of California from 1917 to 1924, was Director of Investigations for the International Fisheries Commission from 1924 to 1939, and Director of the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission from 1937 to 1942. He was also Director of the School of Fisheries, University of Washing-ton, Seattle, from 1930 to 1947. Thompson was the founding director in 1947 of the Fisheries Research Institute at the University of Washington and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1958. He was a dominant figure in fisheries research of the Pacific Northwest and influenced a succession of fishery scientists with his yield-based analysis of fishery stocks, as opposed to studying the fishes’environment. Will Thompson was also a major figure in education, and many of his former students attained leadership positions in fisheries research and administration.

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965) and His Pioneering Studies of the Pacific Halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965), as a temporary employee of the British Columbia Provincial Fisheries Department, was assigned in 1914 to under-take full-time studies of the Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis. The fishery was showing signs of depletion, so Thompson undertook the inquiry into this resource, the first intensive study on the Pacific halibut. Three years later, Thompson, working alone, had provided a basic foundation of knowledge for the subsequent management of this resource. He published seven land-mark papers on this species, and this work marked the first phase of a career in fisheries science that was to last nearly 50 years.

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965) and the Dawn of Marine Fisheries Research in Californ

William Francis Thompson (1888–1965), an early fishery biologist, joined the California Fish and Game Commission in 1917 with a mandate to investigate the marine fisheries of the state. He initiated studies on the albacore tuna, Thunnus alalunga, and the Pacific sardine, Sardinops sagax, as well as studies on other economically important marine organisms. Thompson built up a staff of fishery scientists, many of whom later attained considerable renown in their field, and he helped develop, and then direct, the commission’s first marine fisheries laboratory. During his tenure in California, he developed a personal philosophy of research that he outlined in several publications. Thompson based his approach on the yield-based analysis of the fisheries as opposed to large-scale environmental studies. He left the state agency in 1925 to direct the newly formed International Fisheries Commission (now the International Pacific Halibut Commission). William Thompson became a major figure in fisheries research in the United States, and particularly in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, during the first half of the 20th cent

NMFS Cooperative SharkTagging Program, 1962-93: An Atlas of SharkTag and Recapture Data

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Cooperative Shark Tagging Program (CSTP) is part of continuing research directed to the study of the biology of large Atlantic sharks. The CSTP was initiated in 1962 at the Sandy Hook Laboratory in New Jersey under the Department of Interior's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). During the late 1950's and early 1960's, sharks were considered a liability to the economy of resort communities, of little or no commercial value, and a detriment to fishermen in areas where sharks might damage expensive fishing gear or reduce catches of more commercially valuable species.
