A ausência de um banco de dados nacional é frequentemente apontada pelos profissionais da área como um dos maiores gargalos à realização de estudos de ciclo de vida no Brasil. Dessa forma, a utilização de bancos de dados internacionais torna-se a única alternativa para viabilizar a elaboração de tais estudos. Um dos bancos mais utilizados é o suíço ecoinvent, que se encontra na versão 3. Como os processos existentes no ecoinvent não retratam a realidade brasileira, a adaptação mais básica que costuma ser realizada é alterar a matriz elétrica. No presente estudo, foram escolhidos 20 elementos desse banco de dados e foi feita a alteração da matriz elétrica, com o objetivo de compreender os impactos de tal alteração. O software SimaPro foi utilizado e o método de avaliação de impacto IPCC 2007 GWP 100a foi o escolhido para avaliar o desvio entre o elemento original do ecoinvent e o elemento adaptado. Os resultados demonstram que o desvio chega a 214% dentro da amostra escolhida. O estudo conclui que a utilização de bancos de dados internacionais sem as devidas adaptações ao cenário brasileiro pode levar a resultados não condizentes com a realidade. A alteração da matriz elétrica é a adaptação mais básica, mas isso não garante o alinhamento com o material produzido no Brasil.

O assunto insider trading é bastante polêmico há muito tempo, como, exemplo disto se tem o Securities Exchange Act of 1934 sobre Insider Trading nos Estados Unidos, e a discussão continua nos dias de hoje com casos como da Ambev e da Martha Stewart em 2004. Este trabalho apresenta um conjunto de estudos de eventos realizados sobre as operações com ações da empresa realizadas por insiders com o objetivo de detectar retornos excedentes aos esperados, em função do acesso a informações privilegiadas. O banco de dados é composto por operações realizadas pelos insiders das empresas com ações negociadas na Bovespa, que são classificadas como de governança corporativa diferenciada. Foram constatados indícios de operações realizadas pelos insiders que resultaram em retornos excedentes aos esperados estatisticamente significativos, como nas compras de ações ordinárias pelos Controladores, Familiares, e Clubes de Investimentos; ou pelas vendas de ações preferenciais pelos Diretores, Conselheiros, Assessores, e Consultores do Conselho.

O estudo busca identificar quais variáveis são as mais relevantes para previsão da taxa de câmbio real efetiva e analisar a robustez dessas previsões. Foram realizados testes de cointegração de Johansen em 13 variáveis macroeconômicas. O banco de dados utilizado são séries trimestrais e os testes foram realizados sobre as séries combinadas dois a dois, três a três e quatro a quatro. Utilizando esse método, encontramos modelos que cointegravam entre si, para os países analisados. A partir desses modelos, foram feitas previsões fora da amostra a partir das últimas 60 observações. A qualidade das previsões foi avaliada por meio dos testes de Erro Quadrático Médio (EQM) e Modelo do Conjunto de Confiança de Hansen (MCS) utilizando um modelo de passeio aleatório do câmbio real como benchmark. Todos os testes mostram que, à medida que se aumenta o horizonte de projeção, o passeio aleatório perde poder preditivo e a maioria dos modelos são mais informativos sobre o futuro da taxa de câmbio real efetivo.

Para implementar políticas públicas nos municípios, um dos problemas é a ausência de dados que informem a realidade da situação local, o que evidencia o benefício e a necessidade dos instrumentos de tecnologia de informação para maior eficiência e eficácia na gestão pública. No município de Louveira, analisou-se o caso específico da implantação de uma ferramenta da tecnologia de informação que é utilizado por toda a prefeitura, denominado no local como Cartão Cidadão, que visa documentar o acesso e utilização dos serviços públicos municipais, porém no estudo do caso foi realizado um corte para averiguar o instrumento como estratégia de gestão para aprimorar o planejamento no município, mais precisamente na área da saúde. A gestão do sistema do Cartão Cidadão aliado aos registros em prontuário eletrônico de saúde deram maior confiabilidade ao banco de dados da saúde municipal, possibilitando averiguar e traçar estratégia definida para a gestão do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) local, assim como permitiu melhor averiguação dos desvios do sistema. Finalmente, apresentamos questionamentos sobre o sistema SUS frente a municipalização e ainda sobre e a questões do pacto de saúde e do próprio pacto federativo brasileiro.

Este trabalho permite oferecer uma contribuição para a caracterização geológica-geotécnica dos três complexos vulcânicos da ilha da Madeira, através de sete amostras de material geológico, pertencentes a quatro das sete unidades vulcano-estratigráficas presentes na ilha. São estudados materiais da Unidade do Porto da Cruz (CVI 1), da Unidade da Encumeada (CVM 1), da Unidade dos Lombos (CVS 1) e da Unidade do Funchal (CVS 2), correspondendo a rochas vulcânicas muito alteradas, solos sedimentares, tufos, basaltos e mugearitos, respectivamente. No âmbito da caracterização geológica, é efectuada uma classificação litológica do material amostrado. Também é realizado um estudo das descontinuidades dos maciços onde se efectuaram as amostragens, em função dos parâmetros atitude, espaçamento, abertura, rugosidade, preenchimento, extensão e n.º de famílias de descontinuidades. No âmbito da caracterização geotécnica, é realizada uma campanha de ensaios laboratoriais aos materiais rochosos e terrosos, de forma a determinar uma série de parâmetros geotécnicos. Os ensaios realizados para as amostras de solo são: análise granulométrica; determinação do teor em água; determinação do teor em cinzas e matéria orgânica; determinação da densidade das partículas; determinação do equivalente de areia; e determinação dos limites de consistência (limites de Atterberg). Para as amostras de rochas, são efectuados ensaios para a determinação dos seguintes parâmetros: absorção de água à pressão atmosférica; massa volúmica aparente seca; resistência à compressão uniaxial; módulo de deformabilidade; e resistência à compressão deduzida através da dureza de ressalto de Schmidt. Após a caracterização geológica-geotécnica dos materiais amostrados, é efectuada uma análise de resultados, bem como uma comparação com resultados de outras referências bibliográficas. Este trabalho é um contributo para um banco de dados geológicos e geotécnicos sobre os complexos vulcânicos da ilha da Madeira, deixando em aberto a continuidade de estudos nesta temática.

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

In the present time, public organizations are employing more and more solutions that uses information technology in order to ofer more transparency and better services for all citizens. Integrated Systems are IT which carry in their kernel features of integration and the use of a unique database. These systems bring several benefits and face some obstacles that make their adoption difficult. The conversion to a integrated system may take years and, thus, the study of the adoption of this IT in public sector organizations become very stimulant due to some peculiarities of this sector and the features of this technology. First of all, information about the particular integrated system in study and about its process of conversion are offered. Then, the researcher designs the configuration of the conversion process aim of this study the agents envolved and the moments and the tools used to support the process in order to elaborate the methodology of the conversion process understood as the set of procedures and tools used during all the conversion process. After this, the researcher points out, together with all the members of the conversion team, the negative and positive factors during the project. Finally, these factors were analysed through the Hospitality Theory lens which, in the researcher opinion, was very useful to understand the elements, events and moments that interfered in the project. The results consolidated empirically the Hospitality Theory presumptions, showing yet a limitation of this theory in the case in study

This research continues the current debate about the role of the images and the words in the architectural design persuasion, where we emphasize the increasing valuation of written documents (FORTY, 2004; MARKUS; CAMERON, 2002), the seduction for the graphical representation (DURAND, 2003) and the rhetorical effects of the graphical and textual resources (TOSTRUP, 1999). Based on these quarrels, we look for verify in the graduate final projects the relation between the design texts and images. From the PROJEDATA, database of the PROJETAR research group (UFRN), we selected the final projects of two brazilians universities, UFRN and USP, that in a first analysis, they had shown as ideal types of two distinct design presentation models, respectively: texts and drawings in separated documents, or combined in an only support. Based on Markus explanation about the function and the content of the texts, on the Durand perspective with regard to graphical representation uses and on Tostrup point of view concerning the rhetorical potential of texts and drawings, we analyze, in a set of 25 projects, how the students relate the textual and imagetical speeches. For this, we related the focus of each speech, in order to verify the possible coherence between both. We conclude that in the model of USP final project the coherence between the texts and the drawings is clearer than in the model adopted in UFRN

Proteinases are enzymes distributed widely founded in several organisms and perform many different functions, from maintaining homeostasis to the worsening of some diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases and infections. The proteins responsible of controlling the action of these enzymes are the inhibitors, that are classified based on their target proteases and are founded since simple organisms, such as bacteria, to higher organisms, such as larger plants and mammals. Plant proteinase inhibitors act by reducing or inactivating the activity of target proteases, thus, these proteins have been studied as potential tools in the treatment of diseases related to protease activities. In this context, an inhibitor of chymotrypsin from Erythrina velutina, called EvCI was previously purified and it was observed that this protein plays in vitro anticoagulant activity and anti-inflammatory activity in in vivo model. Aiming to reduce the environmental impact caused by the purification EvCI in high amounts and to facilitate the process of obtaining this protein, the recombinant chymotrypsin inhibitor from Eryhrina velutina was produced after cloning and expression in Escherichia coli. The bacteria were grown in LB medium and after induction of the expression this material was subjected to procedures for cell lysis and the product was applied on Nickel-affinity column. The proteins adsorbed were digested by thrombin and applied on Chymotrypsin-Sepharose affinity column, obtaining the purified inhibitor, named recEvCI. After electrophoresis, the recombinant inhibitor showed an approximately molecular mass of 17 kDa, and reduced the chymotrypsin and elastase activities in vitro. The recombinant inhibitor was sequenced and was found similar amino acids residues when compared to other inhibitors deposited in the database, with some modifications. recEvCI showed high stability under pH variations and reducing conditions, maintaining its activity around 80%. This protein increased the blood coagulation time in vitro by acting on the intrinsic pathway and did not show cytotoxicity against strains of mouse 3T3 fibroblasts and RAW 264.7 macrophages. recEvCI showed microbicide activity related to release of nitric oxide and consequently the activation of macrophages, futhermore having proinflammatory effects assessed by increased release of TNF-α. These results indicate that recEvCI can be biotechnologically used as a new tool in the control of coagulation-related diseases as well as can be an activating agent of the immune system in immunosuppressed individuals

The State of Paraíba is one of the most dynamic states of Brazil, strategically located in the northeast, is notable for the excellent potential for integration of different transportation modes forming the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco and Alagoas. The dynamic that occurs with port activity causes changes in the space where it is installed. And the elements of this space are always more than suffering direct or indirect influences as the flow in the port is expanded. Therefore, this region became subject to the accidental spillage of oil, because it presents a heavy traffic of ships of various sizes that can run aground or collide with oil causing accidental events. The study of geomorphological and sedimentological compositions of seafloor becomes important as more is known about the relationships between these parameters and associated fauna, and can identify their preferred habitats. The database background, acoustically collected along the proposed study area, is a wealth of information, which were duly examined, cataloged and made available. Such information can serve as an important tool, providing a geomorphological survey of the sedimentary area studied, and come to subsidize, in a flexible, future decision making. With the study area Port of Cabedelo, Paraíba - Brazil, this research aimed to evaluate the influence of the tidal surface and background in modeling the seabed, including the acquisition of information about the location of submerged rocky bodies and the depth of these bodies may turn out to be natural traps for the trapping of oil in case of leaks, and obtain the relationship between types of bed and the hydrodynamic conditions present in the region. In this context, for this study were collected bathymetric data (depth) and physical oceanographic (height of water column, water temperature, intensity and direction of currents, waves and turbidity), meteorological (rainfall, air temperature, humidity, winds and barometric pressure) of the access channel to the Port of Cabedelo / PB and its basin evolution (where the cruise ships dock), and includes tools of remote sensing (Landsat 7 ETM +, 2001), so that images and the results are integrated into Geographic Information Systems and used in the elaboration of measures aimed at environmental protection areas under the influence of this scale facilities, serving as a grant to prepare a contingency plan in case of oil spills in the region. The main findings highlight the techniques of using hydroacoustic data acquisition together bathymetric surveys of high and low frequency. From there, five were prepared in bathymetric pattern of Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation - DHN, with the depth in meters, on a scale of 1:2500 (Channel and Basin Evolution of Access to Port of Cabedelo), where there is a large extent possible beachrocks that hinder the movement of vessels in the port area, which can cause collisions, running aground and leaking oil. From the scatter diagram of the vectors of currents, it can be seen as the tidal stream and undergoes a channeling effect caused by the bidirectional effect of the tide (ebb and flood) in the basin of the Port of Cabedelo evolution in NW-direction SE and the highest speed of the currents occurs at low tide. The characterization weather for the period from 28/02 to 04/07/2010 values was within the expected average for the region of study. The multidisciplinary integration of products (digital maps and remote sensing images), proved to be efficient for the characterization of underwater geomorphological study area, reaching the aim to discriminate and enhance submerged structures, previously not visible in the images

This Thesis presents the elaboration of a methodological propose for the development of an intelligent system, able to automatically achieve the effective porosity, in sedimentary layers, from a data bank built with information from the Ground Penetrating Radar GPR. The intelligent system was built to model the relation between the porosity (response variable) and the electromagnetic attribute from the GPR (explicative variables). Using it, the porosity was estimated using the artificial neural network (Multilayer Perceptron MLP) and the multiple linear regression. The data from the response variable and from the explicative variables were achieved in laboratory and in GPR surveys outlined in controlled sites, on site and in laboratory. The proposed intelligent system has the capacity of estimating the porosity from any available data bank, which has the same variables used in this Thesis. The architecture of the neural network used can be modified according to the existing necessity, adapting to the available data bank. The use of the multiple linear regression model allowed the identification and quantification of the influence (level of effect) from each explicative variable in the estimation of the porosity. The proposed methodology can revolutionize the use of the GPR, not only for the imaging of the sedimentary geometry and faces, but mainly for the automatically achievement of the porosity one of the most important parameters for the characterization of reservoir rocks (from petroleum or water)
