As atuais técnicas de manejo da cultura da cana-de-açúcar utilizam um vigoroso revolvimento do solo por ocasião do plantio, com o uso de arados, grades pesadas e subsoladores. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o grau de modificação de algumas propriedades físicas de um Latossolo Vermelho caulinítico (LVd) e de um Latossolo Vermelho caulinítico-oxídico (LVdf) cultivados com cana-de-açúcar e sob mata nativa no município de Jaboticabal (SP), além de comparar as propriedades físicas encontradas em ambos os Latossolos. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, em esquema de parcelas subdivididas 4 x 3 (manejos e camadas), com quatro repetições. Também foi realizada a análise conjunta entre as propriedades físicas dos Latossolos. Os sistemas de uso foram: cana planta (CP), cana soca de segundo ano (C2), cana soca de quarto ano (C4) e mata nativa (MN). Avaliaram-se a densidade do solo (Ds), a sua porosidade e o diâmetro médio ponderado (DMP) nas camadas de 00,10, 0,10-0,20 e 0,20-0,30 m. Os efeitos dos sistemas de uso e manejo sobre os atributos físicos, nas diferentes camadas, foram verificados a partir da análise de variância; quando significativas, as médias foram comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5 %. A MN do LVdf apresentou maior macroporosidade e menor microporosidade em relação à das áreas cultivadas, mas, para porosidade total e Ds, a MN apresentou diferença apenas para C2 e C4. O tempo de cultivo da cana-de-açúcar proporcionou o aumento da Ds e diminuição da macroporosidade em ambos os Latossolos. Entretanto, o maior teor de óxido de Fe no LVdf proporcionou maior porosidade total e menor Ds, e sua macroporosidade permaneceu acima de 0,10 m³ m-3 em todos os manejos e camadas. Os sistemas de uso do solo com cana-de-açúcar reduziram a estabilidade de agregados, em relação à mata nativa.

A utilização de plantas de cobertura de solo em pré-safra é uma alternativa para fornecer nitrogênio (N) ao milho e viabilizar o sistema plantio direto nas Regiões Sudeste, Centro-Oeste, Norte e Nordeste, com inverno seco. Este estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar o efeito de doses de N e de espécies de plantas de cobertura, cultivadas em pré-safra, no fornecimento de N e na produtividade de milho em plantio direto. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso, com parcelas subdivididas e quatro repetições. O estudo foi desenvolvido de 2000 a 2003. Os tratamentos principais foram constituídos de quatro sistemas de uso e manejo: milho em plantio direto após crotalária (PDcrot); milho em plantio direto após braquiária no primeiro ano e lablab nos dois últimos (PDlab); milho em plantio direto após milheto (PDmil); milho em plantio convencional após pousio (PC); e os secundários de três doses de N em cobertura para o milho (0, 60 e 120 kg ha-1). Foram avaliados, no milho, massa da matéria seca da parte aérea, produtividade de grãos, N acumulado e eficiência de utilização do N. A maior eficiência de utilização do N pelas plantas de milho ocorreu nos sistemas de plantio direto e crotalária em pré-safra e plantio convencional após pousio, que não diferiu entre os dois sistemas e foram superiores à dos sistemas de plantio direto em que foram utilizados lablab e milheto em pré-safra, que também não diferiram entre si. A máxima produtividade de grãos de milho foi de 7.259; 7.234; 6.723 e 6.461 kg ha-1, nas doses de N de 97,1; 120,0; 87,8 e 96,1 kg ha-1 nos sistemas plantio direto e crotalária, plantio convencional, plantio direto e lablab, e plantio direto e milheto em pré-safra, respectivamente (média dos três anos). No cultivo de milho em sistema de plantio direto a utilização de crotalária proporcionou maior produtividade em relação ao milheto e lablab em pré-safra.

Com o uso de variedades adaptadas e o manejo do solo pós-colheita da soqueira de cana-de-açúcar em sistema de colheita mecanizada, poderá ser afetada a incidência de pragas e a produtividade do canavial. Assim, desenvolveu-se o presente trabalho com o objetivo de se avaliar a influência da palhada de dezoito variedades de cana-de-açúcar submetidas a diferentes sistemas de manejo de colheita mecânica, sem queima, na produtividade agrícola e na incidência de broca-comum e cigarrinha-das-raízes na cultura de cana-de-açúcar. Os tratamentos foram constituídos pela presença da palha sem trituração/sem cultivo (PST/SC); palha sem trituração/com cultivo com escarificador (PST/CC); palha triturada/com cultivo com escarificador (PT/CC). O rendimento de colmos na cana-soca é favorecido pelo manejo, com cultivo, da palhada da planta crua, colhida mecanicamente, sem alteração na incidência de broca-comum e da cigarrinha das raízes. A variedade SP87-365 de cana-de-açúcar é opção viável e rentável, em qualquer sistema de manejo da cana crua, com adaptação à colheita mecânica e às condições edafoclimáticas da região de Ribeirão Preto, SP. A incidência de broca-comum e da cigarrinha das raízes pode ser bastante reduzida com a utilização das variedades SP88-817 e SP76-112 de cana-de-açúcar, em qualquer sistema de manejo da palhada da cana crua colhida mecanicamente e minimizada na colheita mecânica da cana crua, seguida de trituração da palhada e cultivo com escarificador na entrelinha.

This work provides great contribution to the documental study of the Work Safety courses offered by CEFETs in Brazil, under the perspective of safety management and occupational health, using as a referential the specification OHSAS 18001 (BSI, 1999), as well as directions provided by OIT (ILO, 2001). The theoretical research compares technical and managing competences of the projects of Work Safety courses at CEFETs with the international legislation mentioned above. For field research, questionnaires containing open and close questions were answered by teachers and students aiming at identifying the importance of technical and managing competences for the formation of Work Safety technicians, besides trying to identify which level of minimal formal knowledge should be required to perform managing activities in the area of Work Safety Management Systems and Occupational Health (SGSSO, in Portuguese). The results of the theoretical research point out differences between the projects of the Work Safety technical courses at CEFETs under the perspective of SGSSO. The field research shows that students and teachers opinions converge about most technical and managing competences. In relation to academic formation, the research suggests divergences to the criterion stated by the norm ISO 19011(ABNT, 2002)

This Master s Thesis deals with an analysis of the Regulatory Standards NR-9 e NR-13 on the perspective of occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) such as ILO deployed ILO/OSH-2001. Since the revamped OHSAS 18001:2007 complies with the ILO/OSH-2001 model it is used as benchmark to compare against the NR-9 and NR-13. The analysis suggests that the NR-9 has some important features present on the OHSAS 18001:2007 but lacks important others. The NR-13 turns out to be far from a modern model of OHSMS such as OHSAS 18001:2007 and a deep reformulation should be done in order to achieve the Brazil commitment with ILO to adopt OHSMS. Also, a small survey with companies with ISO 9000 certificates suggests that a NR-13 revised toward OHSMS would be welcome, but also that some more advanced issues present in ILO/OSH-2001 should be imposed by law in order to be achieved

This thesis aims at analyzing from the perspective of the manager the importance of the use of quality management tools and concepts in Federal Universities. It was motivated by the following research problem: do Federal University managers consider it to be relevant the quality management in their institution? Therefore, we sought to gather evidence for a satisfactory approach that addresses the complexity of the topic researched: quality, higher education and quality management systems. We chose to adopt an applied study, the exploratory-descriptive research as to the objective and the quantitative and qualitative research as to the approach to the problem. The object of study is composed by the Planning Provosts of Federal Universities listed in the University Ranking Sheet - (RUF) in 2013. We chose to restrict the sample listing only the provosts of the 20 best-placed universities in the ranking of the Federal Universities. The research instrument was composed of 26 questions, of which 6 questions were designed to identify the profile of the manager, 16 questions of perception (manifested variables) on the importance of quality management in the University, where the managers assigned values (answers) to the affirmatives (that address the main topic of this thesis) based on a Likert scale of 5 points, and 4 open and optional questions, in order to identify general management practices used. It was used for statistical analysis (data analysis) descriptive and factorial statistics. The responses collected through the questionnaire portray the managers´ perception regarding the importance of quality management in their institutions. Sixteen variables were addressed, the results of factor analysis of importance were "Important" and "Very Important", where the variable (V2) was "Important" and all others "Very important." With this information, it is possible to prioritize some areas that deserve immediate action. As it was observed that some variables are "Very important" for the vast majority of managers, others did not show the same result as example (V2, V10, V11). It is concluded that the manager´s perception of quality management in his or her institution is relevant, but the same importance is not given to quality programs implemented in other segments of the economy, and that, despite the advancements offered by SINAES, the model does not evaluate the institution in a global way. Thus, with the results, it is expected to contribute to the advancement of the subject, trying to arouse interest from the managers of Federal Universities in the subject, emphasizing the importance of quality management systems as a necessary tool to raise the institutional quality

This study aimed to evaluate the adhesion ability of eucalyptus lumber from three tillage systems, using adhesives: resorcinol formaldehyde and two adhesives in water emulsion based on vinyl poly-acetate. The management systems were characterized by three strata, the stratum one (E1) characterized by wood from coppice and 70 months of age, the stratum two (E2) characterized by wood and retirement age of 166 months and stratum three (E3), also characterized by retirement at 70 months of age. The wood was derived from a random mixture of the first two sawn logs, each three feet from the base, which comprised three treatments on the adhesive used. We evaluated the shear strength by compression tests and the percentage of wood failure in the glue line. Based on the results obtained, it can be said that the adhesion had satisfactory performance with all the resins used, and the average values of shear strength of the glue line were shown to be equivalent to the shear strength of solid wood only for the samples which adhered with 'Wonderbond' adhesive and also provide higher values for wood failure (97.64%). The highest density present in the wood of the second stratum (E2) influenced only sticking with the resorcinol formaldehyde resin. For polyvinyl acetate (Cascorez 2590), shear values decreased in the third management condition (E3).

A avicultura de corte constitui-se numa importante atividade econômica no estado do Paraná e, como qualquer outra, está sujeita a riscos. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, proceder à análise econômica da produção integrada de frango de corte, avaliando os riscos, considerando os sistemas climatizado, automático e manual. Utilizando-se as variáveis de risco: preço do produto, produtividade e custos de produção foi possível identificar as principais fontes de risco e sua influência na renda líquida. Os resultados apontaram que a rentabilidade da atividade é mais sensível aos componentes da receita do que de custos, sendo o preço a variável de maior sensibilidade. Verificou-se também que o aviário climatizado apresenta possibilidades de prejuízo mais alto para menores níveis de risco e, à medida que o risco aumenta, oferece retornos mais interessantes, em comparação aos sistemas automático e manual. O sistema manual foi o que passou a apresentar retorno a níveis de risco maior (acima de 25%).

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of time since the adoption of the no-till system, in comparison with a native forest area and a conventional tillage area, using the distribution of soil aggregates in a Distroferric Red Nitosol. Treatments were as follows: native forest (NF), conventional tillage (CT), no-till for one year (NT1), no-till for four years (NT4), no-till for five years (NT5), and no-till for 12 years (NT12). Aggregate samples were collected randomly within each treatment at depths of 0-5 and 10-15 cm. After sifting the aggregates in water they were separated into the following aggregate classes > 2 mm; < 2 mm; 2-1 mm, and < 1 mm. The adoption time in the no-till system favored soil aggregation. The mean weighted diameter (MWD) of the soil aggregates and the percentage of aggregates greater than 2 mm increased with adoption time in the no-till system at the 0-5 cm depth. The NF and NT12 treatments had higher MWD values in the 0-5 cm layer. CT had the highest percentage of aggregates smaller than 1 mm.
