O hedge utilizando contratos futuros como estratégia de gestão de risco de preço da soja : estudo de caso da Cooperativa Tritícola Mista Alto Jacuí Ltda.

O Brasil é, atualmente, o segundo maior produtor mundial de soja, e as perspectivas econômicas apontam para a liderança da produção nos próximos anos. Esse mercado apresenta-se como o principal segmento do agronegócio, movimentando bilhões de dólares em divisas para a economia do país todos os anos. O preço dessa commodity é estabelecido no mercado internacional e refletido automaticamente para o mercado interno. Essa característica obriga os produtores rurais, cooperativas agropecuárias, processadores, exportadores e outros agentes envolvidos na comercialização da soja a conviverem com oscilações de preço constantemente. Para esses agentes, torna-se necessária a implantação de um instrumento para gerenciamento de risco de preço sob pena de perderem a capacidade de cobrir custos de produção. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar o hedge utilizando contratos futuros como ferramenta para a gestão de risco de preço da soja. O hedge é uma das operações proporcionadas pelos mercados futuros cuja função básica é ser instrumento de gerenciamento de risco de preço. O objetivo principal do hedge é proteger compradores e vendedores contra uma eventual oscilação de preços de um determinado produto. O presente estudo aborda conceitos de risco, mercados futuros e hedge e apresenta características do agronegócio da soja, enfocando, sobretudo, a formação de preço deste ativo. Para ressaltar a importância do assunto tratado, apresenta-se o estudo de caso da Cooperativa Tritícola Mista Alto Jacuí Ltda., que, no ano de 2004, implantou a estratégia de hedge com contratos futuros negociados na Chicago Board of Trade para gestão do risco de preço da soja, obtendo resultados satisfatórios. As conclusões do trabalho demonstram que a consolidação da produção brasileira de soja requer a implementação de modernos instrumentos para a gestão de risco de preços. É de extrema importância que as cooperativas agropecuárias e os grandes produtores rurais tenham conhecimento de opções de estratégias de comercialização visando proteger e fortalecer sua atividade econômica.

Fazer a ponte para a escola de todos(as)

The purpose of this study is to understand what are the matrix elements in which everyday activities of social author/authors, actor/actors and actress/actresses are embedded, in order to carry out the Escola da Ponte s political and pedagogic process (PPP). Thus, the object of this study is to reflect on an experience developed in a public school supported by the Portuguese State within the scenario of institutions that are committed to building up a school of the people by investing in democratization and community participation in their management process. The methodological course of action was targeted at the presuppositions of qualitative research (WOODS, 1999; BURGESS, 1997; MILLS, 1982; OLIVEIRA, 1998; BOGDAN and BIKLEN, 1994; MACEDO, 2000; CASAL, 1996; GEERTZ, 2000), with data collected from random word association (MACHADO and CARVALHO, 2003), the discourse of the interviewed (KAUFMANN, 1996; SILVA, 2006; 2002), observation notes and documents (ELIAS, 1997). Based on a multiple reference and theoretical framework, the investigation revealed elements that are construed as the raw material and pillars supporting the bridge of a school of the people, as well as the self-organization of the school community which emerges as a dimension that binds together all the elements and brings new arrangements into the school dynamics by moving from the individual to the society (DUPUY, 1990). Along this line, the central argument is that in the short and long run the public school quality does not spring from macro educational policies, nor from ephemeral mass-production programs, projects or governmental policies, but from the intent of the professionals working there in becoming authors and characters in the process of building up and carrying out the PPP. The Project has been conceived in the light of the needs and intentionality of the community whose support comes from the participation and social control held by the students families and the community s power to force to action public administration central agencies aiming at having the State fulfill its responsibilities

Participação de mulheres na história da Escola Mista no Pará - 1870/1901

This study aims to problematize the history of mixed schools in Pará, from 1870 to 1901, highlighting women participation that helped to build them. The analytical focus of the research fell on the changes and the continuities of the mixed school in Pará. The object of analysis is the Paraense mixed schools, formed by women. The study also brings out arguments that the mixed school was set up in variable forms, concepts, times and spaces, in an overlapping with the inclusion of women in educational universe, either through education, professionalization or teaching in schools of girls and boys. The documentary sources privileged by the study are: the educational law, the newspapers, the government reports and the journals of education, which were examined in a confrontation between what was said and done. The evidential method helped the documentary reading revealed that, in small lines, the linkages built in the search for clues and signs of Paraense mixed schools was assembled with the participation of women, from the perception that historical knowledge is indirect, conjectural. Evidences indicated that the school for both sexes, legally established in the Province of Grão-Pará in 1870, gave the signals of the junction of girls and boys in school, at a time when the presence of women in education was suggested. Mutations related to the educational organization, with the introduction of mixed school in the following decade had a closer relationship with restrictive settings and more effective integration of women in that school. The inaccuracies of the Republican mixed school have revealed, through winding paths, that signal of contradictions between the modern discourse and conservative practices regarding this school, in communion with the expansion of the mixed school throughout the state, including in groups schools, observing the presence of effective women teachers in the regency of such schools and an expansion of students in relation to the equity between the sexes

A construção da ponte metálica sobre o Rio Pontengi: aspectos históricos, construtivos e de durabilidade - Natal/RN, Brasil (1912-1916) - estudo de caso

It is a case study that reports the construction of metal truss bridge in the river Potengi in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, between the years 1912 and 1916.

Taking as conclusions that cements pozolônicos ensured a good durability to the concrete in a hundred-year period and that the solution employed with the compressed air caissons was right

H-N2N : uma arquitetura hierárquica escalável para ambientes de realidade mista de grande porte

In this work, we propose a solution to solve the scalability problem found in collaborative, virtual and mixed reality environments of large scale, that use the hierarchical client-server model. Basically, we use a hierarchy of servers. When the capacity of a server is reached, a new server is created as a sun of the first one, and the system load is distributed between them (father and sun). We propose efficient tools and techniques for solving problems inherent to client-server model, as the definition of clusters of users, distribution and redistribution of users through the servers, and some mixing and filtering operations, that are necessary to reduce flow between servers. The new model was tested, in simulation, emulation and in interactive applications that were implemented. The results of these experimentations show enhancements in the traditional, previous models indicating the usability of the proposed in problems of all-to-all communications. This is the case of interactive games and other applications devoted to Internet (including multi-user environments) and interactive applications of the Brazilian Digital Television System, to be developed by the research group.
