Relações de cooperação em consórcios públicos de regiões metropolitanas: análises do CONDIAM/PB e consórcio grande Recife

With the disorganized decentralization occurred in Brazil after the 1988 Constitution, municipalities have risen to the level of federal entities. This phenomenon became known as "municipalism" also brought some negative effects such as low capacity financial, economic and political of these entities. In the face of this reality , the municipalities sought in models of collaborative features to address public policy issues ultrarregionais, one of these models are the Public Consortia. Characterized as the organization of all federal entities that aim to solve public policy implementation alone that they could not, or spend great resources for such. This reality of the municipalities have an aggravating factor when looking at the situation in Metropolitan Regions (MRs). This is because the RMs has a historical process of formation that does not encourage cooperation, since that were created top-down during the military regime. Furthermore, the metropolitan municipalities have significant power asymmetries, localist vision, rigidity earmarked revenues, different scenarios conurbation, difficulty standardization of concepts and others that contribute to the vision of low cooperation of these metropolitan areas. Thus, the problem of this work is in the presence of collaborative arrangements, such as the Public Consortia in metropolitan areas, which are seen as areas of low cooperation. To elucidate this research was used for analysis the cases of CONDIAM/PB and Consórcio Grande Recife/PE, because they are apparently antagonistic, but with some points of similarity. The cases has as foundation the Theory of Common Resources, which provides the possibility of collective action through the initiative of individuals. This theory has as its methodology for analyzing the picture IAD Framework, which proposes its analysis based on three axes: external variables, the arena of action and results. The nature of the method of this research was classified as exploratory and descriptive. For the stage of date analysis, was used the method of document analysis and content, Further than of separation of the cases according to theur especificities. At the end of the study, noted that the CONDIAM/PB was a strategy of municipal government of Joao Pessoa to attract funds from the Federal Government for the purpose of to build a landfill, and over the years the ideology of cooperation was left aside, the prevailing view localist municipalities. In the case of Consórcio Grande Recife/PE, members act with some degree of cooperation, especially the collaborative aspect of the region, however, still prevails with greater strength the power of the state of Pernambuco in the decisions and paths of the consortium. Thus, was conclude that the Public Consortia analyzed are an experience of collaborative arrangement, from the initiative of members, as the theory of common resources says, but has not actually signed as a practice of collective action to overcome the dilemmas faced by metropolitan areas

Gênero e relações de poder no Pentecostalismo: estudo comparativo entre a Igreja de Cristo no Brasil e a Comunidade Evangélica Sara Nossa Terra

Based on the empirical comparative study between two churches from Pentecostal guidance - both located in Parnamirim/RN - and supported on a dialogic interaction between my interlocutors and theoretical references, I proposed me to reflect about how this protestant segment represents and articulates questions such as gender and power relationships, and the daily impact of that in their followers life. In other words, this dissertation aims to understand the reason of the asymmetry attributed to male and female, especially in what concerns the distribution of ecclesiastic works and the authority given to male, as well as the implication of this reality in the reconfiguration of morality and religious praxis in daily life of individuals and involved groups. From this perspective, this work was divided in three chapters, in which I investigate the tension/relationship between faith and secularism, for from this question on concessions and/or prohibitions related to the limits and involvement of the followers with the world and with the very Pentecostal ethos arise. I also analyze here aspects concerning to both ecclesiastic hierarchy and power, with the objective of elucidating how it occurs, what kind of criteria and implications they consider as well as about the nature of the religious labor division between men and women and, finally, I try to understand how the conversion/adhesion of members is reflected in the redefinitions of gender and its relationship between the ecclesiastical and domestic spaces. The diligence and energy spent in this work is in the hope that its fruits can corroborate in the expansion of anthropological knowledge which, in this particular case, involves the Brazilian Pentecostal phenomenon

A Influência dos adeptos nas Organizações Desportivas

Este trabalho de investigação procura entender como as organizações desportivas utilizam a marca como estratégia e com que objetivos e fins poderão obter. Tendo como principal foco o estudo de um dos maiores clubes de Portugal, o Sport Lisboa e Benfica, com uma pequena abordagem sobre a realidade vivida na Associação Académica de Coimbra, estudando, o que os Adeptos procuram e pensam sobre a Marca Benfica e Académica. A análise é feita a partir do contexto das organizações desportivas, de forma a contribuir, quer para o aprofundamento do conhecimento cientifico existente sobre a identidade clubística e a marca, quer para obtenção de informação que permita a adequação de estratégias de intervenção aos próprios clubes. É neste sentido que, após a revisão da literatura relevante na área, foram estudados o Sport Lisboa e Benfica e a Associação Académica de Coimbra, de forma a compreender o papel dos adeptos e sócios. Considerando como objeto de estudo a realidade dos adeptos dentro dos clubes, os objetivos da investigação são: perceber se o valor da marca resulta do sentido de identidade clubística dos seus associados e das associações, lealdade e fidelidade que estes mantêm à marca, contribuindo desse modo para o reforço e valorização dessa marca e averiguar a influência da idade, género e tempo de afiliação dos sócios nas suas representações sobre o clube. Assim, o valor da marca Benfica e marca Académica, resulta do sentido de identidade clubística dos seus adeptos e sócios e das associações, lealdade e fidelidade à marca que estes mantêm à marca, sendo o papel social e os usos das instalações que potenciam esta relação, ajudando desse modo a reforçar e valorizar a marca Benfica e marca Académica.

Los regidores de Córdoba en 1480. Aproximación prosopográfica

Uno de los grupos sociales más influyentes en la ciudad de Córdoba durante la segunda mitad del siglo XV fue el constituido por los ¡regidores de la ciudad. Conocidos habitualmente con el nombre de veinticuatros, por haber sido ése el número teórico de sus componentes desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIV, su número ascendió de forma considerable a partir del siglo siguiente hasta el punto de superar el centenar. Este trabajo estudia la composición del mencionado grupo en el entorno de 1480, cuando las disposiciones de las Cortes de Toledo pusieron límite a ése y a otros abusos heredados de los reinados anteriores. Intenta fijar las distintas conexiones sociales, políticas y económicas de los regidores cordobeses y contiene un completo índice prosopográfico de los regidores cordobeses.

La aristocracia urbana de Madrid: el linaje Las Risas (1445-1507)

El investigador que se interesa por el estudio del siglo XV en el reino de Castilla tiene, a menudo, la ocasión de comprobar el creciente papel que, desde la primera mitad del siglo XV, asume la villa de Madrid. Situada en el centro de la Península y bien relacionada, por su proximidad, con otras ciudades castellanas de superior importancia, como Toledo, Segovia o Ávila, Madrid aparece cada vez mejor documentada bastante tiempo antes de que Felipe II la eligiera para desempeñar el papel de capital de sus reinos. Todo ello fue, en parte, la consecuencia de haberse instalado en Madrid miembros de la nobleza de corte interesados en residir cerca del poder, conscientes de que la villa era un lugar apropiado para satisfacer sus aspiraciones. Este trabajo está centrado en el estudio de la familia Risas; asentados en Madrid al menos desde la época de Juan II. Esta familia constituye uno más de los linajes madrileños a los que su autor ha dedicado su atención en trabajos ya publicados con anterioridad. El estudio aporta datos desconocidos sobre esa familia y su entorno e incluye un apéndice de documentos.

Transcriptional regulation os phenylalaline biosynthesis and utilization

Conifer trees divert large quantities of carbon into the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids, particularly to generate lignin, an important constituent of wood. Since phenylalanine is the precursor for phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, the precise regulation of phenylalanine synthesis and utilization should occur simultaneously. This crucial pathway is finely regulated primarily at the transcriptional level. Transcriptome analyses indicate that the transcription factors (TFs) preferentially expressed during wood formation in plants belong to the MYB and NAC families. Craven-Bartle et al. (2013) have shown in conifers that Myb8 is a candidate regulator of key genes in phenylalanine biosynthesis involved in the supply of the phenylpropane carbon skeleton necessary for lignin biosynthesis. This TF is able to bind AC elements present in the promoter regions of these genes to activate transcription. Constitutive overexpression of Myb8 in white spruce increased secondary-wall thickening and led to ectopic lignin deposition (Bomal et al. 2008). In Arabidopsis, the transcriptional network controlling secondary cell wall involves NAC-domain regulators operating upstream Myb transcription factors. Functional orthologues of members of this network described have been identified in poplar and eucalyptus, but in conifers functional evidence had only been obtained for MYBs. We have identified in the P. pinaster genome 37 genes encoding NAC proteins, which 3 NAC proteins could be potential candidates to be involved in vascular development (Pascual et al. 2015). The understanding of the transcriptional regulatory network associated to phenylpropanoids and lignin biosynthesis in conifers is crucial for future applications in tree improvement and sustainable forest management.

Alteraciones cutáneas de miembros superiores por exposición a agroquímicos en cultivos de arroz, departamento de La Guajira 2016

Introducción: la vida, salud y trabajo del agricultor tienen sus propias particularidades, estilos y actividades, su calidad de vida puede afectarse por exponerse a sustancias químicas, convirtiéndola en una labor muy riesgosa. Objetivo: establecer la prevalencia de las alteraciones cutáneas de miembros superiores por exposición a agroquímicos en cultivos de arroz. Material y método: estudio de corte transversal, población de 100 trabajadores, ubicadas en zona rural de Fonseca La Guajira, durante el año 2016. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas, laborales y clínicas relacionadas. Para el análisis estadístico se aplicaron las pruebas de Shapiro-Wilk, Ji-Cuadrado de Pearson, medidas de asociación con OR y sus respectivos intervalos de confianza del 95%, análisis multivariado con una Regresión Logística Incondicional, nivel de significancia del 5% (p<0.05) para pruebas estadísticas. Resultados: el 98,9% fueron hombres, las edades oscilaron entre los 18 y 83 años (media de 43,7 años). El 40,91% reporto fumigar y el, 15,15% abona. Reportaron tener rinitis alérgica el 21,2%, alergia ocular 25,3%, asma 16,41%, eczemas en las manos 19,15% y ronchas o habones 17,95%; el 40,31% uso herbicidas, 8,77% fungicidas, 35,09% insecticidas, 14,04% fertilizante y 1,75% coadyuvante. La dependencia es prácticamente nula entre la aparición de eczemas y categoría toxica (p=0,021); R de Pearson (R=0,121; p=0,247) con correlación positiva; no existe una relación entre el número de personas con alergias dérmicas y la toxicidad (X2= 2,271; p=0,518), el R de Pearson (R=-0,152; p=0,150). Conclusión: la exposición a agroquímicos sin las condiciones mínimas de seguridad y salud en el trabajo, se relaciona con la aparición de alteraciones cutáneas.

Essays in development and political economy

This thesis includes three papers studying diverse questions in development, economic history and political economy. The first two chapters, that fall under development and economic history, use novel forms of text data and analysis to answer the questions at hand. The first chapter studies the possible impact of a historically matrilineal and matrilocal caste group on present day outcomes of gender equality. It introduces a novel surname strategy using electoral data to deduce caste from the surnames of electors and overcomes the unavailability of caste data. It shows proof of persistence of caste in space. And finally, following a matching exercise it concludes that the effect of the matrilineal and matrilocal caste on present day gender outcomes might not be as strong as previously believed. The second paper studies how discriminatory fake news arises and spatially diffuses. It focuses on India at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic: on March 30, a Muslim convention (the Tablighi Jamaat) in New Delhi became publicly recognized as a COVID hotspot, and the next day, fake news on Muslims intentionally spreading the virus spiked. Using Twitter data, it finds, in cross-sectional and difference-in-difference settings, that discriminatory fake news became much more widespread after March 30 (1) in New Delhi, (2) in districts closer to New Delhi, and (3) in districts with higher social media interactions with New Delhi. Further, it shows that, after March 30, discriminatory fake news was more common in districts historically exposed to attacks by Muslim groups. The final paper is a political economy paper that studies the short term and long term effect of earlier eligibility on voting in the context of a large North Italian municipality setting with little institutional barriers to voting. It also studies the differing mobilisation of members in the same household by newly eligible voters.

Gravitational stability of simply rotating Myers-Perry black holes: Tensorial perturbations

We study the stability of D >= 7 asymptotically flat black holes rotating in a single two-plane against tensor-type gravitational perturbations. The extensive search of quasinormal modes for these black holes did not indicate any presence of growing modes, implying the stability of simply rotating Myers-Perry black holes against tensor-type perturbations.
