Os desafios da gestão feminina no setor calçadista de Franca(SP) sob o olhar do serviço social

Baseado em ampla pesquisa de campo, o trabalho analisa a situação da mulher em um setor economicamente tradicional, o calçadista, no qual parte importante da mão de obra pertence ao sexo feminino. A autora buscou, principalmente, compreender a atual cultura organizacional das empresas calçadistas, partindo da análise da gestão feminina, que vem crescendo no setor. Foram ouvidas tanto gestoras como operárias e, de acordo com a autora, os estudos reforçam a percepção inicial de que a divisão sexual é ainda profundamente marcante na indústria de calçados, com grande prejuízo para as operárias e para as próprias gestoras. Embora estas últimas tenham aberto espaços, o fizeram enfrentando preconceitos e desconfianças da cadeia produtiva, que ainda persistem. Certamente por isso, terminam por reproduzir a essência do conservador e ideologicamente predominante mundo masculino, onde os trabalhadores - e especialmente as mulheres- são tratados como mercadorias, não havendo lugar para a valorização pessoal, equidade nas contratações, planos de carreira e igualdade nas conquistas

Avaliação econômica de diferentes composições veiculares empregadas no transporte rodoviário de madeira: estudo de caso

Transport is one the essential services for the development of most economic activities. In the forestry sector, the main transport used to carry wood from the forest to local consumption is road. The transport increases the producing costs of wood and may be responsible of a high percentage in the final price of the wood sold in the industry. To reduce the company’s costs and increase the efficiency of forest production those transport activities must be analyzed and improved. In that context, an economic analysis is the main objective of this work, evaluating three different types of log transport from a sawmill in São Paulo´s Southwest region. For this, a data collection was done to compound the costs and the incomes of timber transport, and that way, to do the economic analyses of each transport. The monitoring activities were done in the second 2013 half-year and the research achieved economic viability results utilizing tools and methods of Economic Engineering

Produção e comercialização de alimentos orgânicos: relações comerciais Brasil - União Européia

O objetivo do presente trabalho é o entendimento da dinâmica do mercado dos alimentos orgânicos no Brasil, sua cadeia produtiva e as relações comerciais estabelecidas especificamente com a União Européia. Apesar do segmento orgânico crescer a altas taxas ao redor do mundo, ainda é uma temática (promissora) pouco estudada nacionalmente, o que dificulta o desenvolvimento de processos que poderiam diminuir os entraves enfrentados pelos produtores orgânicos. Inicialmente situando o leitor sobre as origens do cultivo orgânico e apresentando o panorama mundial atual, o trabalho entra no cenário nacional discutindo o perfil do produtor, o paralelo entre insumos tradicionais e aqueles específicos para a produção orgânica, além das dificuldades de financiamento em âmbito nacional. Em seguida, discute-se questões relativas à comercialização: qual o perfil do produtor e quais os sistemas de distribuição da produção orgânica nacional e internacional; o porquê dos preços de produtos orgânicos exibirem margens de lucro tão altas; de onde vem a necessidade de certificar a produção, quais as principais certificadoras e seus métodos de atuação. A partir deste embasamento, pode-se trabalhar, então, as relações comerciais estabelecidas entre o Brasil e a União Européia, bloco de destino de mais de 70% da produção orgânica nacional; trata-se, então, das leis e das certificações necessárias para efetuar as exportações; dos principais produtos exportados dentro do segmento orgânico e das 19 empresas responsáveis por essas exportações. Percebe-se, por fim, que um dos principais entraves ao desenvolvimento do segmento ainda é a falta de investimentos em P&D, pois a carência de dados sistematizados e pesquisas em geral acabam por desestimular tanto produtores quanto consumidores em busca de informações sobre esse mercado pouco evidenciado nacionalmente

Cooperviva: análise das possibilidades e limites do trabalho dos catadores de resíduos recicláveis de Rio Claro (SP)

The issue of waste, historically, has been getting worse as a result of the world´s population increase and in order to meet their needs the consumption of natural resources and the generation has been constantly increasing, especially in large urban centers. The people involved in the collection of recyclable solid waste, called from now on as collectors, are responsible for about 90% of the waste sent to recycling industry in Brazil. Apart from having a role in the economy, the collectors have specific knowledge and skills necessary to identify, collect, sort and sell these wastes. This study aims to examine the possibilities and limits of COOPERVIVA – Cooperativa de Trabalho dos Catadores de Material Reaproveitável de Rio Claro - as an instrument of the municipal solid waste management system, and its experience as a recyclable waste collectors cooperative. The methodological procedures of this study rely on the literature research on the experiences of cooperative and the management of municipal solid waste. In addition to this review of the literature, fortnightly visits to the cooperative were held in order to experience their daily activities, and testimonies of the cooperative members were collected as well as documents and reports produced by COOPERVIVA. The results of this analysis are considerations of the limitations of the cooperative and recommendations aimed at maximizing their potential as a tool of the domestic solid waste management system of and as a recyclable waste collectors cooperative. Among other things it can be concluded that the urban selective collection of waste challenges the community to the reinvention of life and the relationships each individual with the planet.

Avaliação do desempenho ambiental da produção canavieira com colheita mecanizada: contribuição à implantação de um sistema simplificado de gestão ambiental da propriedade

The consuming of the natural resources in the agricultural sector does not represent only one external factor of the productive process, but also it implies in a bigger cost for the production, justified for this environmental degradation. In view of the necessity of evaluating the sustainment of the agricultural businesses, the use of performance indicators if makes of extreme importance. The measurement of the support through environmentalindicators is one of the most accepted forms of performing the evaluation of one given agricultural activity. In this context, the Base System for Eco-certification of Agricultural Businesses (Eco-cert Rural) developed by the Embrapa Environment at Jaguariúna/SP, has for purpose to present a method of evaluation of the agricultural businesses, not only of the point of view of the ecological performance, as well as considering the social, economic and organizational aspects. Through the analysis of the performance of the activity and the regularization of the disconformities found, it makes possible the eco-certification of the activities in the varied existing protocols, offering technologies designed to the sustainable development of the agricultural businesses. Using Eco-cert.Rural, this work evaluated the contribution of the use of mechanized harvest in sugar cane handling, front to the traditional system of manual harvest, using the fire. In the Sugar Cane Activity General Performance Index, Agrícola Rio Claro scored 2,08 of a maximum of 15. Amongst all the indicators, those wich reached performance worse had been related to the Use of Energy and the Income, by increasing fossil fuel consumptiom, and implying income concentration due to resignations of rural workers. However, the improvements on the environment quality by supressing manual harvest through fire are very significant. Beyond the great reduction in...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Processamento e qualidade higiênico-sanitária do pescado: se tiver subtitulo

The fishery products are sources of protein of high biological value and an important component in a balanced diet. However, they are highly subject to deterioration, which represents a serious risk to public health. Thus, rigorous methods are needed for quality assurance of fish in all stages of the production chain. Traditionally, the Brazilian population does not have the habit of eating fish, although the country presents a great potential for aquaculture, which is underexploited. The consumption of fish is limited by socio-economic factors. Currently, the search for food security is a global trend. Thus, it is necessary to change the profile of the consumer, by offering a competitive and safe food. In this paper, we address issues related to quality, hygiene and health of fish
