Substituição de importações e as origens da indústria petrolífera no Brasil

The aim of this article is to introduce the context when was created the Brazilian oil industry during the period known as “process of substitution of importation”, under influence of the 1930´s Liberal Revolution. The absence of national private capital, ally to disinterest of multinationals oil companies for developing this sector, particularly during the 1930´s, forced Brazilian State to structuralize a system to regulate and to stimulate oil production from a new entity: the National Oil Council, which takes for itself the task to building the Brazilian oil industry during the period 1938-1953.

Mao Tse Tung, o Campesinato e o Exército na ação revolucionária

This paper aims to analyze some aspects of Mao Tse -Tung’s revolutionary ideas, specially those related to his Organizational Theory and Peasantry. We use some approaches to interact with his ways of thinking, like an interlocution with some of his texts, as also dialogues with some analysts; and how his political ideals progressed in the Chinese scenery, redeeming several categories of country laborers, peasants. Nevertheless, this work also aims to evaluate the role of the Chinese Army in the process; not only because its creation started with the peasants, but also because the Institution was a crucial instrument for achieving the victory of the Revolution. Through its context, this essay is also a suggestion, as a component to be considered in this line of thinking.

Controvérsias sobre a democracia participativa protagónica

Este artigo apresenta duas interpretações distintas da Revolução Bolivariana: uma crítica e outra favorável, à luz do que nele se considera o denominador comum dos conceitos liberais de democracia e, ao final, procura apontar os limites da crítica e alguns desafios a serem enfrentados pelos que a apoiam.

A ruptura institucional de 1964 e o sentido da democracia

O significado da palavra democracia sempre esteve em disputa no Brasil, assim como em todo o mundo ocidental. Quando se criou o hábito de dizer que em 1945 o Brasil assistia a sua 'redemocratização' estava implícito que em precedência, quiçá antes de 1930, houvera um Brasil democrático. Aqui se procurava confundir a veste liberal da dominação oligárquica com democracia, até para que se legitimasse a persistência do poder oligárquico, sob as novas condições da revolução burguesa em andamento, na institucionalidade liberal-corporativa que foi implantada com a Constituição de 1946.

A profetisa que amava Bruce Lee: Oriente e Ocidente na perspectiva de Persépolis

In this article it is examined the work Persepolis, animation movie which summarizes the four volumes of the homonymous work launched in the form of comics in France, between 2000 and 2003. Narrated by the author Marjane Satrapi, it portraits the 15 years following the events of 1979 in Iran, from her personal perspective. Belonging to a left-wing social group, westernized according to the Iranian standards, she saw its utopias die as the Islamic Revolution won. However, during an auto exile in Vienna in her teen ages, she realized that the vaunted western liberty also charged its price. Considering Persepolis narrative literally as a look into perspective, it is debated the political and social aspects of the relationship east / west in a particular relation with the work of Edward Said.

A influência de um programa de ginástica laboral na queixa de dores osteomusculares de seus participantes

Durante a revolução industrial, o trabalho manual tornou-se mecanizado, repetitivo e automatizado, e com o aumento da competitividade do trabalho e a busca desenfreada pela produtividade, os trabalhadores eram submetidos à estresse, depressão, acidentes e lesões no local de atuação (DE ALMEIDA et al., 2009). A fim de reduzir esses malefícios causados pelo trabalho surge na Polônia, em 1925, a ginástica laboral. Vários estudos apresentam os benefícios da ginástica laboral, tais como melhora da flexibilidade, estados de ânimo, e etc. Mas a queixa por dores e afastamentos causados por LER/DORT tem nos chamado atenção; por isso esse estudo tem como principal objetivo verificar alterações na incidência e intensidade de dores em participantes do projeto de extensão de Ginástica Laboral da UNESP campus de Rio Claro. Foram ministradas duas aulas de ginástica laboral preparatória por semana, com duração de 15min. Cada, e por um período de quatro meses. Os participantes responderam três instrumentos:, Nórdico para Dor adaptado, Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física e Questionário auto-elaborado para o estudo com perguntas referentes a intensidade do trabalho e tipo de ocupação, em dois momentos distintos: o primeiro antes da intervenção e o segundo após a intervenção. Após analisarmos os dados, constatamos que a ginástica laboral contribui de forma positiva para a diminuição da incidência e intensidade da dor em trabalhadores. O estudo mostrou que duas sessões semanais, com duração de quinze minutos cada sessão, de ginástica laboral preparatória são suficientes para a diminuição da incidência e intensidade de dores osteomusculares

Um estudo sobre a evolução recente da agroindústria em Cuba

Este trabalho visa a análise da evolução e desempenho da agroindústria cubana, com enfoque no setor canavieiro no passado recente. A cana foi responsável por formar as bases econômicas da ilha na época colonial, através de acordos com os Estados Unidos, que perduraram até os embargos econômicos sofridos por este país na década de 50. A partir destas sanções, é evidente que mudanças na estrura ecônomica do país viriam a ocorrer. Era preciso que os alimentos antes importados dos EUA continuassem a ser acessíveis à população bem como o açúcar continuasse a gerar dividendos para o país. Para isso Cuba em meio à Revolução Socialista e da aliança com a extinta URSS, que comprava o açúcar cubano à preços artificiais enquanto o país moldava mudanças estruturais na agroindústria canavieira para atender às necessidades básicas. A derrocada da URSS no final da década de 1980, fez com que a artificialidade do mercado de açúcar entrasse em colapso, ocasionando em um grande declínio na agroindústria, e na tentiva do Governo Socialista em reverter este cenário

Cidades sustentáveis: análise comparativa com cidades contemporâneas

Currently the world is under an energy revolution, every day more technologies are developed in order to better use the energy for having better energy efficiency of equipment and processes with minimal environmental degradation. Taking into account that thousands of people live in built environments in the context of cities and that the energy flow to this location is significant, it is important to study the built environment as a potential source of savings, energy recovery and regeneration, because cities are the major bottlenecks energetic. Therefore, this study aimed to examine and to list the most important and promising technologies to be used in the built environment to collect or save energy that would be wasted, such as clothes that generate energy through movement or solar incidence, facades of buildings that generate energy due to solar radiation, fitness centers that produce electricity due to the rotation used in fitness equipment for athletes, elevators that take advantage of the potential energy or use it more rationally, generators that take advantage of energy vibrational, and finally more sustainable vehicles with higher performance and less degrading the environment. The information and results obtained from this study show that the technologies used to harness energy before lost are increasingly evident and also is increased the progress relative to the energy use in a urban context. In the closure, a comparison of energy expenditure between a city that uses some of these sustainable technologies and another of the same size with conventional habits is presented

Os ventos e seus impactos na área urbana de Rio Claro (SP) entre 2005 e 2010: um análise através dos jornais e dos boletins de ocorrência

The intensive development in the urbanization process implied a series of economic, social, and gradually, environmental transformations, essentially, since its intensification, which took place from the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America. In Latin American countries, including Brazil, there was such acceleration in urban sprawl, only in the middle of the twentieth century, fomented by a peculiar industrialization, coming from the scientific-technical revolution, which occurred in developing countries. In this context, and with a lack of planning and an effective organization, cities of the dependent countries face an inordinate population growth and an unprecedented industrial swelling. Brazil, following this trend, presents several issues regarding the gaps in the provision of necessary infrastructure to meet the most basic needs of its population and the intense activity and anthropogenic effects on the environment. In this sense, environmental problems, related to air and water pollution, degradation and contamination of soil, paving roads, reduction of green areas, urban heat island, among others, reaching ever deeper into the Brazilian urban areas. It is important the analysis in this final project, the weather events related to episodes of strong winds and the events and the impacts to the population of Rio Claro (SP) in the period 2005 to 2010, basing themselves in Geographical Climatology and Urban climate studies. In this scenario, we found the prevalence of occurrences linked to falling trees in the study area, connected, at the same time, to the occurrence and to the absence of episodes of extreme events, with measurements of strong winds, showing a connection between the events and external facts to episodes of winds

Análise comparativa de ajustamentos de estações de referências por diferentes metodologias

The use of the Global Positioning System technology has brought a real revolution in the surveying and georeferencing techniques, which are the basis for many others relevant studies to the many fields of Geography. In this sense, it was seen a massive growth of the use of GNSS receivers in Brazil from the early 2000s, due the duty of Georreferencing Rural Properties to comply with the 10.267/2001 law. For Georreferencing, it is needed high accuracy receivers, and most of time, it is used two receivers: one static base and one rover. To do the adjustment of the base (in order to correct errors), two ways are utilized: post-processing via the brazilian GNSS network - Rede Brasileira de Monitoramento Contínuo dos Sistemas GNSS (RBMC) or via Precise Point Positioning - Posicionamento por Ponto Preciso, both managed by IBGE. Given the wide range of applications as well as discussions on the accuracy of both methods, this monograph aims to conduct a comparative analysis and prove the effectiveness of both methods considering the INCRA’s Standard for Rural Properties Georreferencing. From the processing of GNSS data collected in Piracicaba, Ituverava, Iperó and São Pedro, it could be seen that the research reached the objectives and shows that both methods are accurate and feasible

Análise de ocorrências dos impactos pluviais na área urbana de Rio Claro (SP)

The Urbanization is a notable process in our society, being part of it since around 3500 BC in Mesopotamia, currently Iraq area. Since the Industrial Revolution, cities had a significant increase in their growth and began to concentrate increasingly labor and capital. Brazil, despite having had a late industrialization, also had a high population growth in cities, especially in the XVIII century, which were not provided with any kind of planning that targets the ordering and implementation of the urban essential apparatus. Therefore, Brazilian cities started to exhibit countless structural and environmental problems. Associated with inadequate infrastructure, the modifications in the urban atmosphere, like increased heat, air pollution and increased rainfall and storm frequency, cause different types of impacts in cities. Among the most worrisome are those from the intense rain, which cause human and material damage. The city of Rio Claro (SP) can be considered an example of this reality. Thereby, the objective of this study was to analyze the impacts on the population originated from rainfall in the urban area during the period 2005-2010, by the mapping of events and analysis of the active atmospheric systems. The information of the events were collected in the Fire Department and the Press and the synoptic maps were obtained in the library of INPE, in Cachoeira Paulista (SP) and in the site of the Navy of Brazil. The data showed that among 247 occurrences, during the six years, 233 occurred in the spring-summer period. Moreover, after finalizing the maps, it was found the locations considered critical regarding the frequency of occurrences, as: Visconde do Rio Claro Avenue and central area of the city, both with a total of 23 occurrences; Jardim Inocoop, with 20; Tancredo Neves Avenue, with 12 and Vila Paulista, with 10 occurrences. Through the graphs, it was found that the most recurrent atmospheric system, during the studied period, is...
