The current study analyzes the birth and development of two strategic alliances established between shrimp producers in Rio Grande do Norte: the Unipesca and the Coopercam. To achieve this aim, two approaches which, at first sight, could be considered contradictory were used: the Transactional Costs Economy and Embeddedness. The first approach is fundamentally based in the studies of Williamson (1985; 1991; 1996; 1999; 2000; 2002). Embededness, on the other hand, went through the review of a series of authors, such as Burt (1992), Granovetter (1973; 1985), Uzzi (1997), Gulati (1994; 1995; 1997; 1998; 1999; 2000), Nielsen (2005), Ring (2002), Ring and Van de Ven (1994), Zafirovski (2002), among others. To analyze the birth and development of the cooperatives in this study, Gulati s work (1998) was used. This study shows the steps to be studied for a better comprehension of an alliance: the decision of starting an alliance and the choice of the partners, the decision about the governance structure, the evolution of the alliance and the development of the companies which established this partnership. To carry this study out, a study case accordingly to Yin s proposal (2001) was adopted. Semi-structured interviews with pre-defined plots were conducted in two phases: in the beginning of 2006 and in the beginning of 2007. The subjects from the research were, in 2006, representative members of the main associations and corporations, besides the shrimp producers from the state, when the context of the activity was set. In the second phase, in 2007, representative members from the two cooperatives that were listed above were interviewed the president from Coopercam and the marketing manager from Unipesca. Besides these two members, directors from two important organizations in each of these cooperatives were also interviewed, giving out the necessary information for the research. Secondary data was also collected from the Brazilian Association of Crab producers website, as well as from news from important newspapers in RN, such as Tribuna do Norte. The primary data was analyzed in terms of quality, accordingly to the documental analysis technique. Thus, through the data that was collected, it can be concluded that the reasons that motivated the companies to cooperate can be explained in terms of the transactional costs economy. However, the choice of partners is more connected to aspects approached by the social embededness. When aspects related to development and evolution were analyzed, it could be seen that both aspects from TCE and Embededness were vital to explain the development of the cooperatives mentioned

The inclusion of local suppliers in production chains has considerable impact on its performance, but most notably in its main actors. The results of this process may be of different kinds and can be analyzed from economic or institutional approaches. This study aimed to verify the existence of different performances of Petrobras due to the inclusion of local suppliers in the oil and gas production chain in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, from the viewpoints of transaction costs and the Institutional Theory. In order to this, were made the characterization of the PROMINP, the description of its actions and results, the mapping of its institutional context of reference, and identification of results obtained by Petrobras in terms of transaction costs and legitimacy. The theoretical framework is based on authors dealing with industrial concentration, as like Marshall, Krugman, Porter and Schmitz, from the sociological perspective of neoinstitucional theory, as like DiMaggio and Powell and Scott and Meyer, and transaction costs, as like Williamson. This is a qualitative research, with data collection done by consulting secondary fonts and semi-structured interviews with nineteen actors of three groups, namely: actors involved in actions of the program, representatives of enterprises and representative of Petrobras. To analyze the content was used the Suchman s model (1995) for categories associated with strategies of legitimation and fourteen variables associated with the three variables assets specificity, bounded rationality and opportunism (Williamson, 1995, 1989) in the case of transaction costs. The results indicate that PROMINP has achieved its objectives by encouraging the increased participation of local companies in the oil and gas production chain, reflecting in the economic development of the state. The Redepetro/RN, fostered and built upon the interaction of the participants, is presented as a solution of continuity to the participation of enterprises in the chain, after the closure of the actions of the program. PROMINP demands responses to coercive, legislative and regulatory pressures of the organizational field, whose institutional context of reference is wide. From the point of view of legitimacy, through strategies to gain cognitive legitimacy and maintaining pragmatic legitimacy, Petrobras can manipulate the environment, ensuring the compliance of the constituents to their technical and institutional demands. Enterprises, in turn, respond to the demands through compliance with technical demands, mainly through the certification of processes, and cultural changes. There aren t clear gains related to the transaction costs, however, gains in legitimacy can be seen as a cumulative capital that can serve as a competitive differential that generates economic gains. In terms of theoretical findings, it was found that, due to its explanatory power for actions that are difficult to explain only in economic terms, Institutional Theory may be used as theoretical support concurrent with other theories. TCE model has limitations in explaining the program actions. In the case, it s emphasized that Petrobras doesn t seek only economic efficiency, but has in its mission the commitment to social development.

This research consists in studying the influence of the various type of construction systems of roofs with their energy efficiency as well as on the cost benefit for the commercial buildings on the temperatures condition of the city of Natal/RN. The main goal of this research is to analyze the cost benefit of the construction systems of roofs available on the market, taking into consideration the energy efficiency of the commercial buildings artificially air conditioned in order to be used by the projectors and to be adequated to the temperatures condition of the city of Natal/RN. The method of valuation of the cost benefit of roof systems consists in six steps: Features and simulation of the reference building; Analyze of sensitivity; Analyzes, features and simulation of alternatives of roof construction systems; Analyze of the cost of implementation; Analyze of the benefits of the alternatives comparing to the base case; And finally the analyze of the cost benefit. The model type chosen as reference was stores with pre molded buildings and system of roof with fiber ciment and ceiling . The thermal results showed the influence of the roof system on the energy efficiency of the building. The Final results of the simulations of the alternatives comes to a conclusion that the absortance is the variable that presents the best cost benefit relation and the reduction on the thermal transmittance still has limitations because of the high cost

A crescente urbanização global tem como consequência o aumento dos níveis de poluentes na atmosfera e a respetiva deterioração da qualidade do ar. O controlo da poluição atmosférica e monitorização da qualidade do ar são passos fundamentais para implementar estratégias de redução e estimular a consciência ambiental dos cidadãos. Com este intuito, existem várias técnicas e tecnologias que podem ser usadas para monitorizar a qualidade do ar. A utilização de microsensores surge como uma ferramenta inovadora para a monitorização da qualidade do ar. E, apesar dos desempenhos dos microsensores permitirem uma nova estratégia, resultando em respostas rápidas, baixos custos operacionais e eficiências elevadas, que não podem ser alcançados apenas com abordagens convencionais, ainda é necessário aprofundar o conhecimento a fim de integrar estas novas tecnologias, particularmente quanto à verificação do desempenho dos sensores comparativamente aos métodos de referência em campanhas experimentais. Esta dissertação, desenvolvida no Instituto do Ambidente e Desenvolvimento em forma de estágio, teve como objetivo a avaliação do desempenho de sensores de baixo custo comparativamente com os métodos de referência, tendo como base uma campanha de monitorização da qualidade do ar realizada no centro de Aveiro durante 2 semanas de outubro de 2014. De forma mais específica pretende-se perceber até que ponto se podem utilizar sensores de baixo custo que cumpram os requisitos especificados na legislação e as especificidades das normas, estabelecendo assim um protocolo de avaliação de microsensores. O trabalho realizado passou ainda pela caracterização da qualidade do ar no centro de Aveiro para o período da campanha de monitorização. A aplicação de microsensores eletroquímicos, MOS e OPC em paralelo com equipamento de referência neste estudo de campo permitiu avaliar a fiabilidade e a incerteza destas novas tecnologias de monitorização. Com este trabalho verificou-se que os microsensores eletroquímicos são mais precisos comparativamente aos microsensores baseados em óxidos metálicos, apresentando correlações fortes com os métodos de referência para diversos poluentes. Por sua vez, os resultados obtidos pelos contadores óticos de partículas foram satisfatórios, contudo poderiam ser melhorados quer pelo modo de amostragem, quer pelo método de tratamento de dados aplicado. Idealmente, os microsensores deveriam apresentar fortes correlações com o método de referência e elevada eficiência de recolha de dados. No entanto, foram identificados alguns problemas na eficiência de recolha de dados dos sensores que podem estar relacionados com a humidade relativa e temperaturas elevadas durante a campanha, falhas de comunicação intermitentes e, também, a instabilidade e reatividade causada por gases interferentes. Quando as limitações das tecnologias de sensores forem superadas e os procedimentos adequados de garantia e controlo de qualidade possam ser cumpridos, os sensores de baixo custo têm um grande potencial para permitir a monitorização da qualidade do ar com uma elevada cobertura espacial, sendo principalmente benéfico em áreas urbanas.

A Lagoa dos patos está localizada no extremo sul do Brasil, e se caracteriza por ser o principal recurso hídrico da região. No estuário da lagoa dos patos é realizada a pesca de diversas espécies de peixes e crustáceos, entre eles, o camarão-rosa (Farfantepenaeuspaulensis) se destacapor ser o principal gerador de renda ao longo do ano para os pescadores artesanais da região. As artes de pesca utilizadas na captura deste crustáceo são divididas em ativas e passivas. As estruturas de pesca que mais se verificaram na região são: Botes com motor de potência de 12,01 a 18 hp, 7,23 metros de comprimento, com tonelagem de arqueação bruta de 2,3 toneladas por barco e todos os equipamentos verificados possíveis e Caícos com motor de 7,8 hp, 5,03 metros de comprimento, com tonelagem de arqueação bruta de 0,62 toneladas e com todos os equipamentos verificados possíveis a bordo. Ao fim, concluímos que entre a possibilidade de exercer a atividade em questão utilizando um bote ou um caíco, o caíco se mostrou a opção mais viável.

Num mercado cada vez mais exigente e competitivo, torna-se imprescindível que as organizações otimizem continuamente os seus sistemas produtivos. Muitas têm visto nas filosofias e práticas Lean e Kaizen as respostas para conseguirem produzir mais sem acrescentar recursos, e de forma mais rápida, mais eficaz e mais eficiente. O envolvimento da empresa numa cultura de melhoria contínua orientada para o cliente permite a criação de valor em todas as etapas, tornando-a mais flexível e competitiva. Essa transformação cultural, aliada à aplicação de ferramentas Lean e Kaizen, permitem melhorar o desempenho global da organização, reduzindo os custos através do combate aos inibidores de performance: os desperdícios, os paradigmas, a inflexibilidade e a variabilidade. No presente trabalho pretende-se mostrar a aplicabilidade de algumas destas ferramentas no processo produtivo de um componente metálico para a indústria mobiliária, assim como os ganhos alcançados com esta abordagem. Ao longo de todo o projeto foram usadas diversas ferramentas Lean Manufacturing como organização do posto de trabalho (5S), Gestão Visual, troca rápida de ferramentas (SMED), mapeamento da cadeia de valor (VSM) e alterações de layouts (com recurso ao software Arena e AutoCad para estudar a alteração mais eficiente que permitisse uma maior produtividade com menor quantidade de recursos). Também se mostra igualmente a importância dos colaboradores no processo de mudança, através das iniciativas Kaizen, do programa de sugestões, dos inquéritos de satisfação e das ações de formação, para que eles se sintam parte integrante da organização.
