Contributo para o estudo das macroalgas do intertidal da ilha da Madeira: diversidade, distribuição e sazonalidade

Ao longo de um ano (junho 2009 – maio 2010), estudou-se as comunidades de macroalgas do intertidal de quatro locais na costa sul (Reis Magos, Barreirinha,Cais do Carvão e Ribeira Brava) e quatro na costa norte (Porto da Cruz, Seixal,Praia da Laje e Porto Moniz) da ilha da Madeira. A área de estudo estendeu-se desde a linha de maré baixa até à zona superiordo intertidal. Identificou-se um total de 73 Taxa na ilha da Madeira: 1 Cyanobacteria, 35 Rhodophyta, 18 Ochrophyta e 18 Chlorophyta. No sul foram identificados 49 Taxa (17 exclusivos desta costa) e no norte 56 Taxa (24 exclusivos). Duas metodologias conjugadas permitem-nos caracterizar o coberto algal do Intertidal rochoso da ilha da Madeira: amostragem manual e trabalho em laboratório (trabalho mais detalhado e rigoroso) e análise de imagens digitais através de um programa informático específico (determinação de categorias ecológicas). Considerando as categorias ecológicas, o intertidal da ilha da Madeira é dominado por Musgo Calcário e Crosta não calcária. Duas espécies, Corallina elongata e Padina pavonica, são dominantes na ilha da Madeira e sete espécies são novos registos: Ganonema farinosum, Hypnea arbuscula, cf. Itonoa marginifera, Grateloupia dichotoma, Cystoseira wildpretii,Sargassum furcatum e Cladophora lehmanniana. As análises CLUSTER e nMDS determinaram a existência de semelhanças relativamente elevadas entre quatro locais de amostragem, no entanto verificou-se uma primeira diferenciação entre norte e sul. Existe uma desigualdade evidente do coberto algal entre as duas costas, com predominância de algas vermelhas e verdes no sul, contrastando com a maior ocorrência de algas castanhas no norte. Esta diferença poderá ser causada pela herbivoria (mais evidente a sul) e pelo hidrodinamismo (mais forte no norte). Verfificou-se que a exposição à ação das ondas é o principal fator responsável pela variação entre amostras (R=0,537, Sig.=0,1%).

Influência dos intermediários de distribuição de produtos turísticos no processo de decisão do meio de hospedagem pelo consumidor

This study examines the complex hotel buyer decision process in front of the tourism distribution channels. Its objective is to describe the influence level of the tourism marketing intermediaries, mainly the travel agents and tour operators, over the hotel decision process by the buyer-tourist. The data collection process was done trough a survey with three hundred brazilian tourists hosted in nineteen hotels of Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The data analysis was done using some multivariate statistic techniques as correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, factor analysis and multiple discriminant analysis. The research characterizes the hotel services consumers profile and his trip, and identifying the distribution channels used by them. Furthermore, the research verifies the intermediaries influence exercised over hotel buyer decision process, looking for identify causality relations between the influence level and the buyer profile. Verifies that information about hotels available on internet reduces the probability that this influence can be practiced; however it was possible identifying those consumers considers this information complementary and non-substitutes than the information from intermediaries. The characteristics of the data do not allow indentifying the factors that constraint the intermediaries influence neither identifying discriminant functions of the specific distribution channel choice by consumers. The study concludes that consumers don t agree in have been influenced by intermediaries or don t know if they have, still considering important to consult them and internet doesn t substitute their function as information source

Projeto café do trabalhador como promotor de segurança alimentar e nutricional: avaliação da eficácia da unidade Natal-RN

The evaluation of public policies that promote Food Security and Nutrition (FSN) it s a multidisciplinary activity extremely relevant to the effectiveness of actions to legitimize the Human Right to Adequate Food (HRAF). This study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the unit project Natal-RN Café do Trabalhador in promoting SAN to its users. The theoretical framework is based on the public and political and on the dimensions of the concept of FSN (quantity and quality-regularity). Through a qualitative approach, methodologically this was the work of an evaluation of efficiency of the unit Natal-RN of Café do Trabalhador project in light of the assumptions of the concept of SAN. Data collection was conducted through retrospective archival research in official documents of the project, semi-structured interviews with managers involved in its implementation (representative of the Secretary of State for Employment, Housing and Care of RN SETHAS and third party), socioeconomic questionnaire applied to the users of the unit, check the amount, regularity and quality of meals offered for 15 days (menu routine) using the descriptive form menu and form filling type checklist for verification of compliance with good practices . Methods of analysis, we used content analysis, descriptive statistics and compared to previously established parameters for the project. As categories of analysis were defined organizational arrangement, access, user, food quantity-regularity and food quality. The results show that, it was found in the category arrangement that will implement the project dismissed technical criteria for choosing the districts and the quantitative distribution of meals for each location. It was found that the valuation of the shares of the company outsources technical SETHA has not been performed. We observed in the access category, the unit has a strategic location, but lack of space in the refectory. The main obstacle to economic access for users is the lack of a register for the beneficiaries. In the category of users, it was identified that the clientele of the project it is predominantly men, with more than 51 years, low education, earning wages less 1 obtained through informal employment, which they move up through the unit transport collective, go to all days of operation due primarily to price. About the meals category quantity-regularity of food showed that the menu serves 95% of the desired needs, and that holidays and weekends are periods of disrupting the regularity of supply of meals. Regarding the category of food quality, it was found that the nutritional aspect on the menu are food sources rich in sodium, nitrates and low in fiber. In the aspect of hygiene and sanitation are the main limitations related to waste management, lack of exposure controls of food prepared and inadequacies of the physical structure. The results showed that in general and the institutional arrangement of the organs attached to the project should establish a systematic evaluation project is to establish as a promoter of and FSN overcome these obstacles
