Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar os Cadernos de Resumo dos três últimos COLEs (Congresso de Leitura) - anos 2001, 2003 e 2005 -, mapeando os projetos de incentivo à leitura, para conhecer o que se produz no País sobre essa temática. A partir desse conhecimento, volto ao Projeto Vô Di - Leitores de Luz, por mim idealizado, buscando analisar seus fundamentos teórico-metodológicos. Por meio da análise dos projetos apresentados nos COLEs, procurei mapear as atividades, os referenciais teóricos e os objetivos utilizados, evidenciando o que é produzido no Brasil e mesmo internacionalmente sobre leitura, a incidência dos projetos na educação formal e na educação não formal e a quantidade de projetos que são voltados às séries iniciais do ensino fundamental, ao ensino médio, aos cursos de graduação, aos cursos de especialização e às ONGs. Um dos resultados deste trabalho é a constatação de que houve uma grande mudança na incidência de projetos da educação formal para a educação não formal, sendo que a maioria dos projetos de incentivo à leitura são desenvolvidos, no COLE, pelas ONGs.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar como ocorre a formação dos profissionais da Educação Física que atuam nas séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Primeiro foi desenvolvido um estudo da legislação e das diretrizes de formação em Educação Física e em Pedagogia, buscando responder à questão: quem deve ministrar aulas de Educação Física nas séries iniciais do Ensino Fundamental? A seguir foi realizada uma análise de currículos de dois cursos de graduação em Educação Física, bem como foram feitas entrevistas com quatro profissionais do Ensino Fundamental que atuam no segmento em questão e estudaram nas mesmas universidades e/ou faculdades dos cursos analisados. Aplicou-se também um questionário para cinco profissionais, denominados polivalentes , que trabalham em escolas de uma Rede Municipal de Ensino e que têm a responsabilidade de desenvolver as aulas de Educação Física. Como referencial teórico sobre a formação dos profissionais na área, foram utilizadas as reflexões de SOARES (1992), ISAYAMA (2003), FREIRE (2005), MOREIRA (2001), entre outros. Os dados da análise apontam para a necessidade de um novo olhar para a grade curricular, bem como para os conteúdos das graduações em Educação Física, que, mesmo oferecendo formação em bacharelado e licenciatura, não contemplam de forma suficiente uma formação adequada para a atuação nas séries iniciais de Ensino Fundamental, em que a faixa etária dos alunos é de 6 a 10 anos. Os profissionais entrevistados expressam que, de fato, faltaram subsídios para uma prática mais pertinente, bem como uma teoria que tenha sua relevância aceita, considerando-se o cotidiano escolar e as condições para o desenvolvimento do trabalho. A importância da Educação Física na infância é inegável, porém as possibilidades de desenvolvimentos mais amplos ficam, entre outras, sujeitas às questões basicamente econômicas, causando-nos a impressão de que a formação generalista nos cursos de graduação visa redução de custos na mesma medida, as políticas públicas de alguns municípios seguem o mesmo princípio.(AU)

The variability / climate change has generated great concern worldwide, is one of the major issues as global warming, which can is affecting the availability of water resources in irrigated perimeters. In the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil it is known that there is a predominance of drought, but it is not enough known about trends in climate series of joint water loss by evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration). Therefore, this study aimed to analyze whether there is increase and / or decrease evidence in the regime of reference evapotranspiration (ETo), for the monthly, annual and interdecadal scales in irrigated polo towns of Juazeiro, BA (9 ° 24'S, 40 ° 26'W and 375,5m) and Petrolina, PE (09 ° 09'S, 40 ° 22'W and 376m), which is the main analysis objective. The daily meteorological data were provided by EMBRAPA Semiárido for the period from 01.01.1976 to 31.12.2014, estimated the daily ETo using the standard method of Penman-Monteith (EToPM) parameterized by Smith (1991). Other methods of more simplified estimatives were calculated and compared to EToPM, as the ones following: Solar Radiation (EToRS), Linacre (EToL), Hargreaves and Samani (EToHS) and the method of Class A pan (EToTCA). The main statistical analysis were non-parametric tests of homogeneity (Run), trend (Mann-kendall), magnitude of the trend (Sen) and early trend detection (Mann-Whitney). The statistical significance adopted was 5 and / or 1%. The Analysis of Variance - ANOVA was used to detect if there is a significant difference in mean interdecadal mean. For comparison between the methods of ETo, it were used the correlation test (r), the Student t test and Tukey levels of 5% significance. Finally, statistics Willmott et al. (1985) statistics was used to evaluate the concordance index and performance of simplified methods compared to the standard method. It obtained as main results that there was a decrease in the time series of EToPM in irrigated areas of Juazeiro, BA and Petrolina, PE, significant respectively at 1 and 5%, with an annual magnitude of -14.5 mm (Juazeiro) and -7.7 mm (Petrolina) and early trend in 1996. The methods which had better for better agreement with EToPM were EToRS with very good performance, in both locations, followed by the method of EToL with good performance (Juazeiro) and median (Petrolina). EToHS had the worst performance (bad) for both locations. It is suggested that this decrease of EToPM can be associated with the increase in irrigated agricultural areas and the construction of Sobradinho lake upstream of the perimeters.

Denomina-se geração um conjunto de indivíduos da mesma idade. Seus filhos caracterizariam uma nova geração e assim sucessivamente, em recortes temporais, social e biologicamente justificados de 25 anos. Acreditava-se que os membros da mesma geração, embora apresentassem diferenças típicas dos grupos socioeconômicos e culturais nos quais se inseriam, teriam hábitos, comportamentos e aspirações semelhantes. As gerações trariam consigo as marcas do seu tempo. Contudo, em razão do avanço exponencial da tecnologia, sobretudo de comunicação, informação e transporte, estima-se que novas gerações sejam formadas em intervalos temporais cada vez menores, criando considerável diversidade na percepção sobre papel, atitude e comprometimento no ambiente de trabalho, entre líderes e liderados, sendo esta diferença tida como fonte potencial de conflitos. Este artigo visa identificar as diferentes percepções acerca dos atributos, percepções e valores de cada geração. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, apoiada na aplicação de questionários via redes sociais. Os resultados mostram diferenças discretas entre as gerações, o que não é indicativo de conflito. Foi observado que o comprometimento e a fidelidade ao trabalho mantem-se inalteradas como um valor percebido pelos profissionais.

The present paper has the purpose of investigate the dynamics of the volatility structure in the shrimp prices in the Brazilian fish market. Therefore, a description of the initial aspects of the shrimp price series was made. From this information, statistics tests were made and selected univariate models to be price predictors. Then, it was verified the existence of relationship of long-term equilibrium between the Brazilian and American imported shrimp and if, confirmed the relationship, whether or not there is a causal link between these assets, considering that the two countries had presented trade relations over the years. It is presented as an exploratory research of applied nature with quantitative approach. The database was collected through direct contact with the Companhia de Entrepostos e Armazéns Gerais de São Paulo (CEAGESP) and on the official website of American import, National Marine Fisheries Service - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NMFS- NOAA). The results showed that the great variability in the active price is directly related with the gain and loss of the market agents. The price series presents a strong seasonal and biannual effect. The average structure of price of shrimp in the last 12 years was R$ 11.58 and external factors besides the production and marketing (U.S. antidumping, floods and pathologies) strongly affected the prices. Among the tested models for predicting prices of shrimp, four were selected, which through the prediction methodologies of one step forward of horizon 12, proved to be statistically more robust. It was found that there is weak evidence of long-term equilibrium between the Brazilian and American shrimp, where equivalently, was not found a causal link between them. We concluded that the dynamic pricing of commodity shrimp is strongly influenced by external productive factors and that these phenomena cause seasonal effects in the prices. There is no relationship of long-term stability between the Brazilian and American shrimp prices, but it is known that Brazil imports USA production inputs, which somehow shows some dependence productive. To the market agents, the risk of interferences of the external prices cointegrated to Brazilian is practically inexistent. Through statistical modeling is possible to minimize the risk and uncertainty embedded in the fish market, thus, the sales and marketing strategies for the Brazilian shrimp can be consolidated and widespread

This research aims to investigate the Hedge Efficiency and Optimal Hedge Ratio for the future market of cattle, coffee, ethanol, corn and soybean. This paper uses the Optimal Hedge Ratio and Hedge Effectiveness through multivariate GARCH models with error correction, attempting to the possible phenomenon of Optimal Hedge Ratio differential during the crop and intercrop period. The Optimal Hedge Ratio must be bigger in the intercrop period due to the uncertainty related to a possible supply shock (LAZZARINI, 2010). Among the future contracts studied in this research, the coffee, ethanol and soybean contracts were not object of this phenomenon investigation, yet. Furthermore, the corn and ethanol contracts were not object of researches which deal with Dynamic Hedging Strategy. This paper distinguishes itself for including the GARCH model with error correction, which it was never considered when the possible Optimal Hedge Ratio differential during the crop and intercrop period were investigated. The commodities quotation were used as future price in the market future of BM&FBOVESPA and as spot market, the CEPEA index, in the period from May 2010 to June 2013 to cattle, coffee, ethanol and corn, and to August 2012 to soybean, with daily frequency. Similar results were achieved for all the commodities. There is a long term relationship among the spot market and future market, bicausality and the spot market and future market of cattle, coffee, ethanol and corn, and unicausality of the future price of soybean on spot price. The Optimal Hedge Ratio was estimated from three different strategies: linear regression by MQO, BEKK-GARCH diagonal model, and BEKK-GARCH diagonal with intercrop dummy. The MQO regression model, pointed out the Hedge inefficiency, taking into consideration that the Optimal Hedge presented was too low. The second model represents the strategy of dynamic hedge, which collected time variations in the Optimal Hedge. The last Hedge strategy did not detect Optimal Hedge Ratio differential between the crop and intercrop period, therefore, unlikely what they expected, the investor do not need increase his/her investment in the future market during the intercrop

A crescente complexidade dos objetos armazenados e o grande volume de dados exigem modelos de recuperação e recomendação cada vez mais sofisticados. O objetivo deste trabalho é propor um modelo de recomendação de conteúdo baseado em arquivos de  legendas de filmes e séries. Utilizando a ferramenta Apache Lucene, para recuperação da informação, e a ferramenta OGMA, para análise de textos, foi possível propor, para o modelo, três etapas distintas: uma pesquisa utilizando palavra-chave, a classificação de filmes e séries por gênero e a identificação de títulos similares. Também é apresentado uma adaptação ao modelo para identificar em cada título um sentimento, denominado análise de sentimentos. Como resultado ressaltamos que a pesquisa por palavras-chave gerourecomendações surpreendentes, já que proporcionam ao usuário liberdade de pesquisa dentro de um conteúdo específico. Já a classificação por gênero apresentou índice de 73% de acerto em comparação com os gêneros apresentados pelo site IMDb, facilitando a recomendação de conteúdo. A análise de sentimentos demonstrou recomendações com coesão, determinando títulos apropriados para cada sentimento. Por último, a identificação de títulos similares, apresentou resultados primários, trazendo apenas filmes e séries com a mesma temática, sem apresentar nenhum resultado em comum com o site IMDb. Concluiu-se que apesar da enorme dificuldade de ser assertivo na recuperação da informação, existevantagens em se utilizar os arquivos de legendas para ajudar na composição dos sistemas de recomendação.

Spatial-temporal dynamics of zooplankton in the Caravelas river estuary (Bahia, Brazil). The survey was conducted in order to describe the zooplankton community of the estuary Caravelas (Bahia, Brazil), to quantify and relate the patterns of horizontal and vertical transport with the type of tide (neap and spring) and tidal phase (flood and ebb). Zooplankton samples were collected with the aid of a suction pump (300L), filtered in plankton nets (300μm) and fixed in saline formalin 4%. Samples were collected at a fixed point (A1), near the mouth of the estuary, with samples taken at neap tides and spring tides during the dry and rainy seasons. Samples were collected for 13 hours, at intervals of 1 hour in 3 depths: surface, middle and bottom. Simultaneous collection of biological, we measured the current velocity, temperature and salinity of the water through CTD. In the laboratory, samples were selected for analysis in estereomicroscope, with 25 groups identified, with Copepoda getting the highest number of species. The 168 samples obtained from temporal samples were subsampled and processed on equipment ZooScan, with the aid of software ZooProcess at the end were generated 458.997 vingnettes. 8 taxa were identified automatically, with 16 classified as a semi-automatic. The group Copepoda, despite the limited taxonomic refinement ZooScan, obtained 2 genera and 1 species identified automatically. Among the seasons dry and wet groups Brachyura (zoea), Chaetognatha, and the Calanoid copepods (others), Temora spp., Oithona spp. and Euterpina acutifrons were those who had higher frequency of occurrence, appearing in more than 70% of the samples. Copepoda group showed the largest percentage of relative abundance in both seasons. There was no seasonal variation of total zooplankton, with an average density of 7826±4219 org.m-3 in the dry season, and 7959±3675 org.m-3 in the rainy season, neither between the types and phases of the tides, but seasonal differences were significant recorded for the main zooplankton groups. Vertical stratification was seen for the major zooplankton groups (Brachyura, Chaetognatha, Calanoida (other), Oithona spp, Temora spp. e Euterpina acutifrons). The scale of this stratification varied with the type (square or tide) and tidal phase (flood or ebb). The instantaneous transport was more influenced by current velocity, with higher values observed in spring tides to the total zooplankton, however, there was a variation of this pattern depending on the zooplankton group. According to the data import and export of total zooplankton, the outflow of organisms of the estuary was higher than the input. The results suggest that the estuary of Caravelas may influence the dynamics of organic matter to the adjacent coast, with possible consequences in National Marine Park of Abrolhos

O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo a descrição, a análise e a comparação de parâmetros relacionados com o apoio plantar em idosos, através do método da baropodometria eletrónica, que oferece a avaliação das variáveis temporais e espaciais na postura estática e na marcha. Ademais, teve a finalidade de medir e comparar a distribuição da pressão plantar num grupo de idosos, institucionalizados e não institucionalizados, com e sem historial de quedas nos últimos 12 meses, para verificar se há um padrão comum ou divergente de apoio plantar, aspetos biomecânicos e diferenças significativas na marcha entre estes dois grupos e sua relação com a ocorrência de quedas. A amostra foi composta por 160 idosos, 80 institucionalizados e 80 não institucionalizados, onde foi realizado um levantamento das variáveis sociodemográficas como: idade, género, o índice de massa corporal (IMC), a ocorrência de quedas nos últimos 12 meses, a existência de patologias e a prática de atividade física. Foram analisadas, através da plataforma de pressão, a distribuição das pressões plantares, os picos de pressão plantar média e máxima, área de superfície plantar e a largura da base de sustentação na postura estática e, relativamente às variáveis temporais na postura dinâmica, foram avaliadas a duração do passo e o tempo de contato plantar, no momento da fase de apoio e propulsão da marcha. Foi analisada a correlação destas variáveis com a ocorrência de quedas. Foram identificados maiores valores de pressão média e máxima, na postura estática e dinâmica, nos idosos não institucionalizados. Na comparação entre os grupos, foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas em grande parte das variáveis na postura estática, especialmente aumento da largura da base (p=0,048) e, na postura dinâmica, a duração do passo e do tempo de contato do pé no solo (p=0,000) foram maiores nos idosos institucionalizados. O avançar da idade, o aumento na duração do passo e do tempo de contato do pé no solo, bem como a diminuição dos valores das pressões plantares apresentaram correlação com a ocorrência de quedas na amostra total de idosos, especialmente nos idosos institucionalizados. Entretanto, as variáveis índice de massa corporal e largura da base de sustentação não influenciaram na ocorrência de quedas na amostra total de idosos. Estes resultados demonstram a importância da análise do apoio plantar em idosos, pois alterações na distribuição das pressões plantares podem constituir um fator de risco para quedas.

A cartografia temática surge como um aliado indispensável ao estudo e conhecimento do estado da paisagem e dos ecossistemas terrestres. Angola é um país com uma enorme lacuna em termos de informação cartográfica para suporte a diversas actividades desenvolvidas em várias áreas. É por isso necessária informação sobre a superfície terrestre que registe as alterações temporais ocorridas nos ecossistemas e identifique os factores que estão na sua origem de forma a implementar medidas que permitam uma gestão mais sustentável do seu enorme território. O presente estudo foi realizado no sector Sudoeste de Angola, abrangendo os municípios do Lubango, Humpata e Chibia, com uma área aproximada de 9600 km2. Os objectivos foram: a) cartografar o coberto do solo e monitorizar as alterações ocorridas na área de estudo no período 1990-2010, b) analisar e interpretar as alterações da estrutura da paisagem nos últimos 20 anos usando cartografia de ocupação do solo, produzida recorrendo a imagens de satélite, e métricas da paisagem, e c) quantificar e examinar a relação entre a fragmentação da paisagem e os factores geradores. A metodologia utilizada no estudo é composta por duas partes, sendo a primeira dedicada às operações de processamento e interpretação de imagens de satélite Landsat e, a segunda dedicada à produção de novas métricas de fragmentação da paisagem com recurso à ferramenta SIG utilizando operações de álgebra de mapas. O comportamento da fragmentação é analisado, à luz do efeito dos fatores ambientais e socioeconómicas ao nível da região. Os resultados obtidos, através da aplicação de técnicas de deteção remota e usando imagens Landsat TM e ETM+, permitiram a elaboração de mapas de coberto do solo, onde se distinguiram 8 classes temáticas e espectralmente diferentes. Verificou-se em termos globais que aproximadamente 38% da área sofreu algum tipo de alteração no período estudado, sendo as classes de miombo e áreas cultivadas as que mais alterações sofreram. A fragmentação da paisagem foi avaliada através da implementação de novas métricas, mostrando os resultados, que no período 1990-2000, a fragmentação foi superior à que se verificou entre 2000-2010. A nível espacial, a dinâmica de fragmentação foi mais acentuada, entre 1990-2000, na Humpata e, entre 2000-2010, no Lubango; ANALYSIS OF LANDSCAPE AND LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGE IN LUBANGO AND SURROUNDINGS ABSTRACT: Thematic cartography shows up as an essential ally in the study and knowledge of the state of landscapes and terrestrial ecosystems. Angola is a country with an enormous lack of cartographic information to support the several activities carried out in a variety of areas. This is the reason information on the earth’s surface is necessary, registering alterations which occur over time in ecosystems and identifying the associated factors in its origin, so as to implement metrics that allow a more sustainable management of its enormous territory. This study was carried out in the Southeast of Angola in the Lubango, Humpata and Chibia Municipalities, with an area of approximately 9600 km2. Our objectives were the following: a) land cover mapping and land cover changes monitoring over the period 1990 to 2010 using Landsat images, b) to analyze and interpret landscape structures changes using land cover maps, and landscapes metrics, and c) to quantify and to examine the relationship between landscape fragmentation and its drivers. The methodology developed in the study has two parts, the first includes Landsat satellite images processing and interpretation and, the second the production of new landscape fragmentation metrics with support to a GIS tool and algebraic mapping operations. The fragmentation behavior is analyzed, taking into account the effect of environmental and socioeconomic factors at a regional level. The results allowed obtaining land cover maps, in which 8 spectrally different thematic classes were distinguished. It was observed that 38% of the area suffered some type of alteration in the studied period, with higher changes observed in the classes of miombo and agriculture. Landscapes fragmentation results, evaluated through the implementation of new metrics, show that, values are greater in the period 1990-2000 than in 2000-2010. At municipality level, fragmentation dynamics were more accentuated in Humpata between 1990 -2000 and in Lubango between 2000 -2010.
