Ação pública na formação e transformação do destino turístico de Porto de Galinhas: um estudo dos referenciais no período de 1970 a 2010

The central interest of this thesis is to comprehend how the public action impels the formation and transformation of the tourist destinies. The research was based on the premise that the public actions are the result of the mediation process of state and non-state actors considered important in a section, which interact aiming for prevailing their interests and world visions above the others. The case of Porto de Galinhas beach, in Pernambuco, locus of the investigation of this thesis, allowed the analysis of a multiplicity of actors on the formation and implementation of local actions toward the development of the tourism between the years 1970 and 2010, as well as permitted the comprehension of the construction of the referential on the interventions made. This thesis, of a qualitative nature, has as theoretical support the cognitive approach of analysis of the public policies developed in France, and it has as main exponents the authors Bruno Jobert and Pierre Muller. This choice was made by the emphasis on the cognitive and normative factors of the politics, which aspects are not very explored in the studies of public policies in Brazil. As the source of the data collection, documental, bibliographic and field researches were utilized to the (re)constitution of the formation and transformation in the site concerned. The analysis techniques applied were the content and the documental analysis. To trace the public action referential, it started by the characterization of the touristic section frontiers and the creation of images by the main international body: the World Tourism Organization, of which analysis of the minutes of the meetings underscored guidelines to the member countries, including Brazil, which compounds the global-sectorial reference of the section. As from the analysis of the evolution of the tourism in the country, was identified that public policies in Brazil passed by transformations in their organization over the years, indicating changes in the referential that guided the interventions. These guidelines and transformations were identified in the construction of the tourist destination of Porto de Galinhas, of which data was systematized and presented in four historical periods, in which were discussed the values, the standard, the algorithms, the images and the important mediators. It has been revealed that the State worked in different roles in the decades analyzed in local tourism. From the 1990s, however, new actors were inserted in the formulation and implementation of policies developed, especially for local hotelkeepers. These, through their association, establishes a leadership relation in the local touristic section, thereby, they could set their hegemony and spread their own interest. The leadership acquired by a group of actors, in the case of Porto de Galinhas, does not mean that trade within the industry were neutralized, but that there is a cognitive framework that confronts the actors involved. In spite of the advances achieved by the work of the mediators in the last decades, that resulted in an amplification and diversification of the activity in the area, as well as the consolidation at the beach, as a tourist destiny of national standout, the position of the place is instable, concerned to the competitiveness, once that there is an situation of social and environmental unsustainability

Análise de volatilidade, integração de preços e previsibilidade para o mercado brasileiro de camarão

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

Meio ambiente e planejamento: a relação cidade-natureza nos Planos Urbanísticos da cidade de Natal no século XX

This research studies the relation between city and nature in the urbanity s plans from Natal RN, Brazil, during the 20th century. Investigates and analyses the main documents that bring environmental s ideas inside from the urbanity s plans of Natal; gives the historical and economical situation from the city in each period studied; features the urbanity s plans, using categories of analyses to comprehension of this instruments. Try to contribute in the bigger process of historical rescue of Natal, and stimulates new studies. It was used documental s research, and bibliographic material. It was identified four (04) kinds of plans: the ones that focus in health and aesthetic (1901, 1929, 1935) technology and science (1968), zoning and control (1974, 1984) and environment. The hints founded shows that environmental ideas were put inside of the plans by government demands, especially in 1994 s plan, almost always without popular contribution and without this population get understands its meanings and implications

Da promessa à realidade: a cidade potiguar do século XIX, a partir do olhar da elite

The purpose of this research is to apprehend the perception that the ruling elite, especially the Presidents of the province of Rio Grande do Norte/Brazil, had about the potiguar city, that is, the urban localities existing in the province along the 19th century. By interweaving political, administrative, socioeconomic and spatial aspects, the study of this perception involves two distinct moments, which are also linked: a moment of apprehension of the city, that is, how the elite seizes, describes and criticizes the city; and, a second moment, which occurs simultaneously or after the first moment, of intervention in the city, in which the elite exposes its vision and projects for the city and for the territory. Rather than describing the potiguar city in itself, the research is an attempt to reveal how it was perceived along this process from a particular standpoint or discourse, official and elitist, which did not correspond necessarily or completely to what it was in reality. We tried to understand, always through the lens of the discourse, how the ruling elite perceived the potiguar city based on what their members thought about other urban realities, particularly of the advanced countries; how, within an integrated vision, this city was characterized in political, administrative, socioeconomic and spatial terms and how it consolidated itself along the period established for the research. Qualitative and historical in nature, this study was also methodologically developed based upon bibliographical and documental research. Given the fact that this research works with descriptions, comparisons and interpretations, it was necessary to make use of tools such as the discourse analysis in order to apprehend, as much as possible, what lay behind the words of the elite. The primary sources used were essentially the official documents produced by the Presidents of the province, as well as other documents written by top government officials and other members of the administration staff, all of them composing the so-called ruling elite of Rio Grande do Norte. Secondary sources were books and other publications, theses and dissertations, among others. The research made possible the identification of a certain perception of the potiguar city in the 19th century, which is certainly limited because it is grounded on a specific discourse - that of the political and administrative elite, but which, in spite of such a limitation, is still useful to understand the city and its evolution along the period established, among other noteworthy remarks

Efeito da luz, alagamento e salinidade na germinação e crescimento de sementes de Sesbania punicea (Cav.) Benth. (Fabaceae, Papilionoideae)

Sesbania punicea (Cav.) Benth. é um arbusto que pode atingir de 1-4m de altura, cuja floração ocorre na primavera e no verão, frutificando no outono. O fruto é do tipo legume reto, produzindo em média 10 sementes por fruto. Sua propagação é frequentemente facilitada por perturbações na natureza, sendo bastante tolerante a solos pobres se adaptando a qualquer clima. O presente estudo teve por objetivo verificar os requisitos para germinação de Sesbania punicea sob influência de fatores abióticos. As sementes de Sesbania utilizadas neste estudo foram coletadas na APA da Lagoa Verde, Rio Grande- RS. Para avaliar o investimento reprodutivo da espécie foram realizadas as medidas morfométricas de 200 sementes. Para o teste de germinação, foram utilizados dois tipos de tratamentos: umidade e alagamento, ambos nas condições de luz e escuro, à temperatura de 25ºC, submetidos a quatro potenciais salinos: 0, 5, 10 e 15g de NaClL -1 . No teste em alagamento foram colocadas 100 sementes para cada salinidade em tubos Falcon transparentes, e para umidade, o mesmo número de sementes foi disposta em caixas gerbox transparentes contendo papel germitest, distribuídas de acordo com as respectivas salinidades. Os testes tiveram duração de 30 dias e a germinação foi acompanhada diariamente. Para avaliar o crescimento, 80 sementes foram colocadas em copos de poliestireno transparente de 100 ml, sendo 10 sementes para cada teste e, para análise da concentração de pigmentos, foram utilizadas plântulas com 30 dias de idade, crescendo nas mesmas condições de salinidade em que as sementes germinaram. As amostras de plântulas foram pesadas e logo após maceradas com 100 ml de acetona a 80% de concentração. A seguir, foram realizadas as leituras da concentração dos pigmentos em espectrofotômetro. As sementes de S. punicea utilizadas neste estudo, apresentaram tamanho pequeno (0,6 ± 0,01 cm). Houve respostas positivas de germinação tanto em presença quanto em ausência de luz, embora a germinação no teste em luz tenha sido maior, assim como a germinação no tratamento Alagado/ Luz, em 0g NaCl L-1 . Ao serem realizados os testes adicionando a variável salinidade, as respostas de germinação destas sementes mostraram um comportamento diferenciado, tendo um número menor de sementes germinadas com o aumento da concentração salina. As plântulas cresceram mais nos tratamentos em alagado e o aumento da concentração salina também reduziu o tamanho e o número de folhas das mesmas. No experimento de extração de pigmentos, clorofila a e b, os testes não demonstraram diferenças entre os tratamentos. Embora sementes de Sesbania punicea germinem sob influência de salinidade, o baixo desenvolvimento das plântulas observadas neste estudo sinalizam o cuidado que deve ser tomado ao utilizarmos a espécie para recuperação de áreas degradadas em ambientes com influência de salinidade.

Chronica geral e minuciosa do Imperio do Brazil desde a descoberta do Novo Mundo ou America ate o anno de 1879

Segundo Borba de Moraes, é um "compêndio de informações gerais sobre ruas, edifícios, monumentos, comércio, nos dias do Império (principalmente na Capital). Contém muitos dados históricos. Segundo Sacramento Blake, "saiu neste ano [1879] a primeira parte com o retrato do Censelheiro Joaquim Marcelino de Brito a quem é oferecida a obra, contendo uma planta da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, e no fim um grande quadro com a geografia histórica do Brasil, e a segunda , em 1882."

Detecção de região saliente em imagens usando dissimilaridade de cor e amostragem por pixeis aleatórios

The purpose of this work is to demonstrate and to assess a simple algorithm for automatic estimation of the most salient region in an image, that have possible application in computer vision. The algorithm uses the connection between color dissimilarities in the image and the image’s most salient region. The algorithm also avoids using image priors. Pixel dissimilarity is an informal function of the distance of a specific pixel’s color to other pixels’ colors in an image. We examine the relation between pixel color dissimilarity and salient region detection on the MSRA1K image dataset. We propose a simple algorithm for salient region detection through random pixel color dissimilarity. We define dissimilarity by accumulating the distance between each pixel and a sample of n other random pixels, in the CIELAB color space. An important result is that random dissimilarity between each pixel and just another pixel (n = 1) is enough to create adequate saliency maps when combined with median filter, with competitive average performance if compared with other related methods in the saliency detection research field. The assessment was performed by means of precision-recall curves. This idea is inspired on the human attention mechanism that is able to choose few specific regions to focus on, a biological system that the computer vision community aims to emulate. We also review some of the history on this topic of selective attention.

Desenvolvimento de protótipo de aplicativo móvel em Android® para o controle e acompanhamento nutricional da saúde óssea em mulheres menopáusicas

Following a drop in estrogen in the period of menopause some women begin to lose bone mass more than 1% per year reaching the end of five years with loss greater than 25%. In this regard, factors such as older age, low calcium intake and premature menopause favor the onset of osteoporosis. Preventive methods such as nutritional counseling to a proper diet and the support of technology through applications that assess dietary intake are essential. Thus, this study aimed to develop an application for Android® platform focused on the evaluation of nutritional and organic conditions involved in bone health and risks for developing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. To achieve this goal we proceeded to a study of 72 women aged 46-79 years, from the physical exercise for bone health of the Laboratory for Research in Biochemistry and Densitometry the Federal Technological University of Paraná program. Data were collected in the second half of 2014 through tests Bone Densitometry and Body Composition, Blood Tests, Anthropometric data and Nutrition Assessment. The study included women with a current diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis primary, aged more than 45 years postmenopausal. For the assessment of bone mineral density and body composition used the device Absorptiometry Dual Energy X-ray (DXA) brand Hologic Discovery TM Model A. For anthropometric assessment was included to body mass, height, abdominal circumference, Waist circumference and hip circumference. The instrument for assessing food consumption was used Recall 24 hours a day (24HR). The estimated intake of energy and nutrients was carried from the tabulation of the food eaten in the Software Diet Pro 4®. In a sub sample of 30 women with osteopenia / osteoporosis serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase tests were performed. The results demonstrated a group of women (n = 30) average calcium intake of 570mg / day (± 340). The analysis showed a mean serum calcium within the normal range (10,20mg / dl ± 0.32) and average values and slightly increased alkaline phosphatase (105.40 U / L ± 23.70). Furthermore, there was a significant correlation between the consumption of protein and the optimal daily intake of calcium (0.375 p-value 0.05). Based on these findings, we developed an application early stage in Android® platform operating system Google®, being called OsteoNutri. We chose to use Java Eclipse® where it was executed Android® version of the project; choice of application icons and setting the visual editor for building the application layouts. The DroidDraw® was used for development of the three application GUIs. For practical tests we used a cell compatible with the version that was created (4.4 or higher). The prototype was developed in conjunction with the Group and Instrumentation Applications Development (GDAI) of the Federal Technological University of Paraná. So this application can be considered an important tool in dietary control, allowing closer control consumption of calcium and dietary proteins.

Arte, museu, educação: uma integração necessária na superação das tecnologias de controle social

This research aims to reflect on the strategies and mediation used by Oscar Niemeyer and Museum of contemporary art, in Curitiba, and Pinacoteca and Museum of modern art of São Paulo, to approximate audience of art. Recognizes that the gap between the two and that is reflected in the low visitation to art museums is the result of social control technologies historically elaborate and maintained to keep track of who has economic power over others , are people , as in the case of artistic appreciation, or countries, such as what happens with technology.It also presents some possibilities of subversion of this control , which occur especially because the human being creative and interpretive. Finally, it notes that the work carried out by the educational sectors of museums to attract different audiences is very relevant institutions and committed. With regard to teaching materials prepared and distributed to visitors, however, the need for some adjustments so that they communicate better with visitors and contribute, in fact, to deconstruct the idea of the Museum as an elite space and available only to a few privileged.
