A irrigação é de grande importância para a produção de alimentos, e acredita-se que ela seja responsável por boa parte da produção agrícola mundial, mas é grande consumidora de água doce, principalmente na irrigação por aspersão. O objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar a redução do custo da energia elétrica para irrigação, por meio de sistema automatizado de controle de velocidade em pivô central instalado em encosta. Para tal, foi dimensionado um pivô central com raio de 56,4 metros com 10 emissores com pressão de serviço de 137,8 kPa, representando uma área irrigada de 1,3 ha, e a lâmina bruta de irrigação adotada foi de 10 mm dia-1. Posteriormente, realizaram-se cálculos para determinar as pressões em cada emissor, para as condições de 0; 10; 20 e 30% de declividade média do terreno. Posteriormente, foi montado um protótipo do pivô central em tamanho reduzido, com 6,3 metros de comprimento, com 10 emissores. Foi utilizado um conjunto motobomba de 2,21 kW (3cv), onde as perdas de cargas em cada emissor eram realizadas por meio de registros inseridos na linha lateral. A automação e o controle de velocidade implementada no protótipo possibilitaram a redução dos gastos em energia elétrica entre 18% e 52%. A automação desenvolvida mostrou-se viável e capaz de responder com agilidade a qualquer mudança de pressão.

Resumo A cobertura das terapias de substituição renal (TSR) no Ministério da Saúde do Peru é pobre, com distribuição desigual de TSR em nível nacional, e é possível que até 50% da população não tenha acesso a algum tipo de TSR. É preciso uma abordagem multissetorial para resolver este problema que não é consistente com a melhoria econômica do país.

Considering the rise of the discussion about the rhetoric of economics at the beginning of the 1980's, the paper aims to show: 1) the relation between the origin of this issue in the academic field and the ascension of the so labeled "neoliberalism" as a doctrine and a collection of capitalist practices perceived at the same time; and 2) the consequences produced by this idea, overseas born, when it meets a peripherical reality like the Brazilian one. In the first case, we are going to show the importance of Hayek's reflections about the inadequateness of neoclassical discourse to the aim of ideologically legitimate the market society. In the second we are going to point out that, taking the consequences of the rhetoric project in Brazil, it can be seeing as an additional chapter of "the ideas out of its place" that comes marking the Brazilian history of the ideas.

China as a double pole in the world economy and the recentralization of the Asian economy. The extraordinary growth of Chinese trade that occurred in the last years changed Chinas role on world and regional economy. As a major producer of industrial consumer goods to OCDE countries, China has negatively affected many Asian competitors but as an expansive market China became the main source of growth to Asian countries. This new dimension was achieved after the Asian crisis of 1997 by an economic expansion led by public investment. After considering the Chinese balance of payment position and its industrial strategy this paper investigates this double dimension of China on trade and its influence on Asian countries.

On the political economy of development and the contribution of services. This paper aims to ponder on recent approaches to Political Economy of Development, that bring about new concepts about the role of services activities in the economic development process. The analysis begins by checking the new attributions of services entailed by the productive paradigm changes that have occurred since the 1970's. Then, it examines the debate about the new kind of society, called "post-industrial", which is centered in the services dynamics. Finally, it discusses the relevance of social capital disponibility, as a prime factor to attain economic development

Answers to a marxist critic of the rhetorical and pragmatic perspectives in economics. Based on recent discussions regarding the rhetorical perspective in economics, this paper presents an interpretation of the philosophical approach of Habermas which attempts to rescue the so called 'modern spirit', forgotten in the annals of the 19th century, similar to that presented by Marshall Berman in 1982. Following the reconstructive approach of Habermas's project of modernity, we attempt to show how a 'rhetorical approach' could be applied in the field of economics, and yet still be clearly modern by taking into account intersubjectivities, given the expanded sphere of human communication (as defended in the theory of communicative action of Habermas). In this sense, we will seek to demonstrate the philosophical limits of the anti-rhetorical critiques of, for example, Paulani (1996, 2003, 2005, 2006), which seem to underestimate the linguistic and intersubjective aspect of Habermas's philosophical project that can also be found in McCloskeys methodological approach.
