Nesta dissertação estudamos diferentes modelos de hedging para uma opção plain vanilla comprada do tipo europeu. Este estudo nos leva a uma análise onde a volatilidade é uma variável de extrema importância em todos os modelos abordados. De natureza incerta e muitas vezes incompreensível, a volatilidade é uma peça fundamental pelo sucesso ou fracasso de muitos agentes financeiros. Os modelos em que trabalhamos o hedging da opção comprada são: o modelo Black& Scholes (1976) e o moldelo de Hoggard-Whaley-Wilmott (1994). A opção analisada é referente ao ativo base Itaú PN. Trabalhamos com uma série histórica do retorno dos preços de fechamento deste ativo de 02/01/1998 até 30/05/2011 de onde extraímos os parâmetros de volatilidade utilizados para as simulações do ativo base, gerando diferentes regimes de mercado. Por fim, realizamos o hedging com diferentes freqüências de ajustes e diferentes volatilidades de hedging com os modelos mencionados acima.

The physical model was based on the method of Newton-Euler. The model was developed by using the scientific computer program Mathematica®. Several simulations where tried varying the progress speeds (0.69; 1.12; 1.48; 1.82 and 2.12 m s-1); soil profiles (sinoidal, ascending and descending ramp) and height of the profile (0.025 and 0.05 m) to obtain the normal force of soil reaction. After the initial simulations, the mechanism was optimized using the scientific computer program Matlab® having as criterion (function-objective) the minimization of the normal force of reaction of the profile (FN). The project variables were the lengths of the bars (L1y, L2, l3 and L4), height of the operation (L7), the initial length of the spring (Lmo) and the elastic constant of the spring (k t). The lack of robustness of the mechanism in relation to the variable height of the operation was outlined by using a spring with low rigidity and large length. The results demonstrated that the mechanism optimized showed better flotation performance in relation to the initial mechanism.

Edible films are thin materials based on biopolymers and food additives. The aim of this work is a review on the application of dynamic mechanical analysis in edible film technology. After a brief review of the linear visco-elasticity theory, a description of some practical aspects related to dynamic mechanical analysis, such as sample fixation and sample dehydration during analysis and types and modes of tests are presented. Thus, the use of temperature scanning analysis for glass transition and for plasticizer-biopolymer compatibility studies and frequency scanning tests, less common in edible film technology, are critically reviewed.

Os avanços nos cuidados com o paciente traumatizado e com infecções abdominais graves são responsáveis por um número crescente de peritoneostomias. O manejo desta entidade é complexo e várias técnicas foram descritas para seu tratamento. Recentemente foi introduzido na literatura o conceito de fechamento dinâmico da parede abdominal, com elevadas taxas de sucesso. O objetivo deste trabalho é de servir como nota prévia de uma nova abordagem para o tratamento das peritoneostomias, desenvolvida no Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo. Trata-se de um procedimento simples e de baixo custo, facilmente realizado por cirurgião geral. O procedimento também foi utilizado como reforço em fechamentos abdominais tensos, de maneira profilática. O procedimento é descrito em detalhes, assim como os resultados nos primeiros pacientes. Apesar de promissora, refinamentos técnicos e estudos complementares são necessários para a validação da técnica.

In this technical note we consider the mean-variance hedging problem of a jump diffusion continuous state space financial model with the re-balancing strategies for the hedging portfolio taken at discrete times, a situation that more closely reflects real market conditions. A direct expression based on some change of measures, not depending on any recursions, is derived for the optimal hedging strategy as well as for the ""fair hedging price"" considering any given payoff. For the case of a European call option these expressions can be evaluated in a closed form.

A state-contingent model of production under uncertainty is developed and compared with more traditional models of production under uncertainty. Producer behaviour with both production and price risk, in the presence and in the absence of futures and forward markets, is analysed in this state-contingent framework. Conditions for the optimal hedge to be positive or negative are derived. We also show that, under plausible conditions, a risk-averse producer facing price uncertainty and the ability to hedge price risk will never willingly adopt a nonstochastic technology. New separation results, which hold in the presence of both price and production risk, are then developed. These separation results generalize Townsend's spanning results by reducing the number of necessary forward markets by one.

The potential for hedging Australian wheat with the new Sydney Futures Exchange wheat contract is examined using a theoretical hedging model parametised from previous studies. The optimal hedging ratio for an 'average' wheat farmer was found to be zero under reasonable assumptions about transaction costs and based on previously published measures of risk aversion. The estimated optimal hedging ratios were found by simulation to be quite sensitive to assumptions about the degree of risk aversion. If farmers are significantly more risk averse than is currently believed, then there is likely to be an active interest in the new futures market.

An operational space map is an efficient tool to compare a large number of operational strategies to find an optimal choice of setpoints based on a multicriterion. Typically, such a multicriterion includes a weighted sum of cost of operation and effluent quality. Due to the relative high cost of aeration such a definition of optimality result in a relatively high fraction of the effluent total nitrogen in the form of ammonium. Such a strategy may however introduce a risk into operation because a low degree of ammonium removal leads to a low amount of nitrifiers. This in turn leads to a reduced ability to reject event disturbances, such as large variations in the ammonium load, drop in temperature, the presence of toxic/inhibitory compounds in the influent etc. Hedging is a risk minimisation tool, with the aim to "reduce one's risk of loss on a bet or speculation by compensating transactions on the other side" (The Concise Oxford Dictionary (1995)). In wastewater treatment plant operation hedging can be applied by choosing a higher level of ammonium removal to increase the amount of nitrifiers. This is a sensible way to introduce disturbance rejection ability into the multi criterion. In practice, this is done by deciding upon an internal effluent ammonium criterion. In some countries such as Germany, a separate criterion already applies to the level of ammonium in the effluent. However, in most countries the effluent criterion applies to total nitrogen only. In these cases, an internal effluent ammonium criterion should be selected in order to secure proper disturbance rejection ability.

Against the backdrop of China's assertive policies in the South China Sea, the present study evaluates how Vietnam has sought to mitigate the increasingly unequal regional power distribution vis-à-vis China. It argues that Vietnam tends to cope with China mainly by engaging itself in hedging strategies on the basis of diversified and strong relationships with different players. Appraising the roles of Russia and the European Union (EU), the study analyzes the pay-offs of Vietnam's military hedging with Russia and its economic hedging with the EU.

O Balanced Scorecard (BSC) tem vindo a revelar-se um conceito popular como ferramenta de suporte à descrição e implementação da estratégia organizacional. Esta abordagem propõe que os gestores se foquem no desenvolvimento e utilização dum número reduzido de indicadores críticos de desempenho, financeiros e não financeiros, que combinam diferentes disciplinas e perspectivas da organização e que estão articulados numa cadeia causal que explica de forma consistente o desempenho futuro de acordo com a estratégia formulada. Contudo, diversas dúvidas e críticas tem emergido relativamente à qualidade do processo de desenvolvimento do BSC e que colocam em causa a consistência e a validade da estrutura de indicadores que constitui o instrumento fundamental para o controlo da implementação da estratégia. Com o propósito de ultrapassar estes problemas, uma abordagem baseada na modelação e simulação dinâmica (dinâmica de sistemas) é proposta como suporte ao processo de desenvolvimento do BSC. Esta abordagem permite acelerar e melhorar a aprendizagem dos gestores acerca do processo de criação futura de valor que está associado à estratégia formulada e respectiva implementação, contribuindo assim para a validade e consistência da estrutura de indicadores do BSC.
