The thrush beach, Mimus gilvus (Aves: Mimidae) is a passerine widely distributed in Central and South America. In Brazil occurs mainly in the areas of the resting and vegetation near the beach. In southeastern Brazil this species has disappeared, mainly due to urbanization. Many attributes of their reproductive biology are unknown, especially in relation to reproductive success. During the years 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2014-2015 were made visits to the area of restinga forest in Centro de Lançamento da Barreira do Inferno (CLBI), located between the cities of Natal and Parnamirim-RN (5 ° 54'S 35 ° 10'W ) where they were made systematic searches to trying describe reproductive biology of the characteristics of M. gilvus, estimate their reproductive success using the Mayfield method, and identify the main factors that influence their reproductive success in environment the resting. For this, forty fifth active nests monitored were used. Only during the breeding season of 2011-2012 and 2014-2015 were made systematic visits to the study area. The reproductive period ranged August to March. Clutch size ranged from two, three and six eggs (n = 22). Broods of two eggs were more common, with an average of eggs laid per nest of 2 ± 0,51 (n = 20 nests). The incubation period was approximately 13 ± 1,9 days (n = 11 nests). The period of stay of the nestlings was approximately 11 ± 1,6 days (n = 9 nests). With approximately 11 days old the nestlings were able to leave the nest. The apparent success was 37,8% and the success estimated by Mayfield method was 26,6%. Predation was the main cause of loss of nests in the study area. The daily survival rates (TDS) were obtained from 0,9593 incubation and 0,9313 for nestling period respectively. Survival estimates for each period was 0,5827 for incubation and 0,4571 for nestling period. The cumulative average rainfall for each month influenced negatively the hatching rates of M. gilvus nests. In addition, the number hatch eggs among the most rainy season (rainy season) and the period of lowest rainfall (dry season) were different. The number of lost nests of M. gilvus was lower in scrubs than cactus, which may account for the largest number of nests of this species found in scrubs. Survival rates in nestling period were lower compared with the incubation period. The fact that the survival rates nests of M. gilvus be lower in the nestling period compared to the incubation period may result from increased activity of adults during this phase of the nest, which in turn would increase predation rates. M. gilvus seems to avoid the rainy season during their reproduction, concentrated most of their nests in periods of low rainfall.

This dissertation investigates, based on the Post-Keynesian theory and on its concept of monetary economy of production, the exchange rate behavior of the Brazilian Real in the presence of Brazilian Central Bank's interventions by means of the so-called swap transactions over 2002-2015. Initially, the work analyzes the essential properties of an open monetary economy of production and, thereafter, it presents the basic propositions of the Post-Keynesian view on the exchange rate determination, highlighting the properties of foreign exchange markets and the peculiarities of the Brazilian position into the international monetary and financial system. The research, thereby, accounts for the various segments of the Brazilian foreign exchange market. To accomplish its purpose, we first do a literature review of the Post-Keynesian literature about the topic. Then, we undertake empirical exams of the exchange rate determination using two statistical methods. On the one hand, to measure the volatility of exchange rate, we estimate Auto-regressive Conditional Heteroscedastic (ARCH) and Generalized Auto-regressive Conditional Heteroscedastic (GARCH) models. On the other hand, to measure the variance of the exchange rate in relation to real, financial variables, and the swaps, we estimate a Vector Auto-regression (VAR) model. Both experiments are performed for the nominal and real effective exchange rates. The results show that the swaps respond to exchange rate movements, trying to offset its volatility. This reveals that the exchange rate is, at least in a certain magnitude, sensitive to swaps transactions conducted by the Central Bank. In addition, another empirical result is that the real effective exchange rate responds more to the swaps auctions than the nominal rate.

The public management reform in Brazil, since 1995, provoked new experiences in public administration. Among the new models of public service the one-stop shopping has distinguished and was adopted at Rio Grande do Norte with the Citizens Center Program. The one-stop shopping assembles in the same place many public services with appropriate structure, enabled human resources and citizens focus processes. The goal of this research was understand how citizens focus processes help to explain Citizens Center Program s longevity. It was made a case study and the research tools were applied with Citizen Center Programs workers and citizen-users at South Unit of Citizen Center Program placed at Via Direta Mall, Natal. The major contributions for Citizen Center Program s longevity were imputed to Basic Operation Processes. The most spoken features in Citizen Center Program mentioned were quality, efficiency, celerity e personal appearance, what demonstrate concern and care with citizen-users. Worker s personal appearance, accommodation, celerity, politeness and attending capacity planning were high evaluated by citizen-users revealing the wisely choice of use a large quality concept and citizenship concept in public administration. Citizen-users also pointed the necessity of refine and enlarge the communication ways that form an essential mechanism to public citizen focus administration. Not ignoring the policy aspect citizen focus processes were noticed like especial management actions that make easier citizen s activities and public service access, what generate satisfaction to citizen-users. It s possible to conclude that the high level approving evaluation of Citizen Center Program consolidates it an especial public policy that serves citizen s necessities e create appropriate legitimacy conditions of the public policy making harder the choice of ending the policy even in more fragile moments strongly contributing for its longevity

This piece of work consists in a study case of Crediamigo Comunidade, a product from the portfolio of Crediamigo Program of Banco do Nordeste, that uses the methodology of the Comunitary Banks in the concession of low amount loan to poor communities. The main question consists to understand how the Crediamigo Comunidade is characterized faced to the conflict of emancipatory versus liberal paradigms, that exists in the microcredit area. The main objective will analyze how the mechanisms: social capital, empowerment, formation to credit education and better conditions for economic and social issues promoted in the specific objectives of this product, before the dipute between these paradigms. The method adopted analyzed, in a longitudinal perspective, the three years of the product s existence (jun/2005 to jul 2008). Primary and secondary data made possible to identify qualitatively, emancipatory and non emancipatory attributes in the actions and results of Crediamigo Comunidade. It is concluded that the Crediamigo Comunidade works in a liberal logic of the Crediamigo Program, consequently, his focus is not in the emancipation of the poorest clients. The empowerment is individual and not communitary or Freiriano ; the social capital relations enlarges itself in its bounding and bridging ties, but not in its linkage ties, to have access to politic actors and consequently communitary strengthen. All the formation in the Crediamigo is strictly commercial. These characteristics happen by the liberal paradigm in the Crediamigo management and of all of its products, including the Crediamigo Comunidade

Both the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century have been characterized as a period of major political, economic, social and cultural transformations. Two of the major consequences of the political-economical crisis of the end of last century are the restructuring of capitalist production, and the consolidation of neoliberalism as a worldwide phenomenon. This new world political-economical scenario has influenced, in a dialectic way, the contemporary urban development. In that sense, "new" spatial processes and new paradigms in both urban management and urban planning have gained shape. In this context of urban transformations, the central areas of western cities, also known as historic centers, are being increasingly (re)valued. Since the Second World War, the historic centers urban areas which have great infrastructure and symbolic relevance had been undergoing a process of evasion of population and activities, undeniably linked to the neglect of government authorities. However, in recent decades, the question of historic centers rehabilitation has acquired a growing interest, academically and in political agendas. The object of this dissertation is to focus on how the government of each Brazil and Portugal has dealt with the issue of historic center rehabilitation through programs of urban rehabilitation

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a credibilidade do regime de metas de inflação no Brasil e propor um novo método de mensurá-la. Para tanto revisamos alguns índices de credibilidade anteriormente propostos para o país. Uma limitação comum a esses índices é o pressuposto de uma relação linear da credibilidade com os desvios da meta central de inflação. Neste sentido, é proposto um novo índice no qual a credibilidade depende de forma não linear dos afastamentos da meta e calculado o índice para o período de 2001 a 2012. Em um estudo comparativo, utilizando variáveis relacionadas à credibilidade, encontramos coeficientes de correlação maiores para o novo índice. Também se identificou uma alta credibilidade da política monetá- ria para o Brasil nos últimos anos.

Nicaragua importa semilla de pasto con el objetivo de resolver la baja productividad y calidad del pasto. Las especies Brachiaria brizantha y Panicum maximun, son las semilla de pasto de mayor importación en nuestro país, siendo Brasil el país de donde más importamos. Basados en que existen algunas plagas en Brasil que no existen en Nicaragua, se procedió a realizar un análisis de riesgo de plaga, el cual es una herramienta que permite evaluar la entrada, establecimiento, dispersión y manejo del riesgo de la plaga. Las etapas del análisis de riesgo de plaga; se realizó con la recopilación y análisis de información clave de fuente primaria y secundaria como son la lista de plagas asociadas al cultivo de pasto de Brasil, lista oficial de plagas asociadas al cultivo pasto en Nicaragua, diagnóstico fitosanitario en plantaciones de pasto B. brizantha en Nicaragua y los resultados de laboratorio de las semilla de pasto de origen Brasil que ingresaron por el país en el 2014. Este estudio se realizó en un período de 12 meses de Enero a Diciembre del 2014, en la Región Autónoma del Caribe Sur (RACS), en el municipio de El Rama y dos departamentos Chontales y Rio San Juan en los municipios de La Gateada y San Miguelito respectivamente, ya que son representativos, son las zonas de mayor producción de pasto, y en los doce puesto de cuarentena agropecuaria del territorio nacional, El Guasaule, Puerto Corinto, Aduana Central Aérea, Las Manos, El Espino, Peñas Blancas, Teotecacinte, Aeropuerto Internacional Augusto César Sandino, El Rama, El Bluff, San Carlos y San Juan de Nicaragua, que es donde ingresan las importaciones de semilla de pasto de origen Brasil. El muestreo fue al azar, tanto para el diagnóstico fitosanitario como para las importaciones de semilla de pasto de origen Brasil, tomando muestras para ser analizadas en los laboratorios de herbología, entomología, micología, bacteriología y nematología. El diagnóstico fitosanitario, permitió corroborar la presencia de plagas mencionadas en la lista oficial de plagas asociadas al cultivo pasto en Nicaragua y descartar presencias de plagas cuarentenarias en los pasto de nuestro país. En las semilla de pasto importadas de Brasil, se determino la presencia de plagas de interés cuarentenario como son la maleza Commelina benghalensis y nemátodo de punta blanca Aphelenchoides besseyi. En el análisis de riesgo de plaga, se identificaron siete plagas de interés cuarentenario para la especie B. brizantha y noventa y uno plagas para la especie P. maximun, al evaluar cada plaga por la posibilidad de seguir la vía de entrada, se determinaron dos plagas de importancia cuarentenarias para el área del análisis de riesgo de plagas, como son la maleza Commelina benghalensis L. y nemátodo de punta blanca Aphelenchoides besseyi Ch., ya que son plagas consideradas de alto riesgo fitosanitario debido a la posibilidades de sobrevivir, multiplicarse y diseminarse en el ambiente de Nicaragua una vez introducida en nuevas aéreas establecidas, de acuerdo a la evaluación del riesgo de establecimiento y dispersión; es por eso que en ambas plagas se determinaron las opciones del manejo del riesgo para disminuir a niveles adecuados los riesgo de dichas plagas para nuestro país.

O objetivo da avaliação de impactos ambientais (AIA) é permitir uma análise integrada de possíveis impactos diretos ou indiretos ao meio ambiente decorrentes da implantação e operação de empreendimentos, de forma a propor de medidas ou programas que visem evitar, mitigar ou compensar tais impactos. Para tanto é necessário conhecer as diversas características das áreas direta e indiretamente afetadas pela instalação de um projeto, tais como as condições meteorológicas e climatológicas. Estas também são relevantes no estudo das emissões em cenários de operação regular ou acidental de empreendimentos, dada sua influência nas condições de transporte e de dispersão de poluentes na atmosfera. Neste trabalho é realizado um estudo das condições de dispersão de poluentes na atmosfera para a região da Central Nuclear Almirante Álvaro Alberto (CNAAA) em Angra dos Reis, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, utilizando o modelo WRF, considerando um cenário acidental com liberações por 48 horas. Os dois episódios simulados representam os regimes de tempo predominantes na região obtidos a partir da análise pelo o método k-means sobre as EOFs para o campo de pressões ao nível médio do mar entre os anos de 1985 e 2014. A aplicação da metodologia dos regimes de tempo permite observar os fenômenos meteorológicos de grande escala persistentes e recorrentes sobre uma dada região, servindo como uma ferramenta para a elaboração de estudos e documentos técnicos que fundamentem a decisão dos órgãos reguladores.

This paper proposes that Brazil could improve the political accountability by breaking up many of the statewide districts it uses to elect its deputies into smaller districts, each electing fewer deputies. The central argument is that districts that elect low-to-moderate numbers of legislators make it possible to optimize the well-known trade-off between inclusive representation and accountable government.

A garantia da memória histórica do ensino em nível profissionalizante em enfermagem, na década de 1970, foi o objeto dessa investigação. Teve como objetivos descrever e analisar o contexto sócio-político e as circunstâncias históricas em que a Lei nº 5.692, de 12 de agosto de 1971, das Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional, foi promulgada, bem como discutir as mudanças e desdobramentos dessa no ensino profissionalizante em enfermagem. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, qualitativo, exploratório e de natureza histórico-social, com base em análise documental. Optou-se pela Micro-história para dar sustentação teórica à discussão dos resultados dessa investigação, pois a análise dos documentos históricos, sob o prisma de que, embora não seja possível enxergar a sociedade inteira a partir de um fragmento social, é possível enxergar algo da realidade social que envolve o fragmento humano examinado. A delimitação das fontes históricas do estudo compreende o Acervo do Arquivo Histórico da Associação Brasileira de Enfermagem - Seção São Paulo; o Acervo documental sobre a ABEn/SP, existente no Centro Histórico Cultural da Enfermagem Ibero-Americana da Escola de Enfermagem da USP e a Série Documenta do Ministério da Educação e Cultura. A partir dessa LDB nº 5.692/71, o ensino de Enfermagem foi totalmente integrado ao sistema nacional de Educação e sua promulgação ocorreu durante a Ditadura Militar e a ideologia do “milagre econômico”. De acordo com essa ideologia, o sistema educacional brasileiro deveria adequar-se ao modelo econômico desenvolvimentista, com treinamento de pessoal de nível técnico, visando aumentar e baratear os recursos humanos para o trabalho. A ABEn, como entidade representativa dos interesses políticos e ideológicos dos profissionais da área, liderava os debates sobre as questões da formação dos recursos humanos na enfermagem, sendo que na década de 70 mais da metade do contingente de enfermagem era majoritariamente sem formação específica. Também por conta dessa realidade, houve iniciativas governamentais para tentar reverter essa situação. Apesar das questões do ensino da enfermagem não se encontrarem explicitadas no texto da LDB nº 5.692/71, os resultados deste trabalho revelaram que a legislação estudada teve desdobramentos nas decisões políticas no âmbito do ensino profissionalizante e, consequentemente, impactou sobre a formação dos profissionais de enfermagem.
