Full textAbstract:
A história dos Censos no Brasil mostra que a preocupação com a componente territorial em levantamentos estatísticos, surgiu no recenseamento de 1940, quando, pela primeira vez, o IBGE procurou retratar aspectos da realidade geográfica, de interesse para a operação de coleta, em bases cartográficas, uma tarefa complexa devido à grande extensão do território brasileiro e principalmente no que se refere à qualidade do material cartográfico disponível à época. Atualmente crescem as demandas em nosso país, por informações cada vez mais detalhadas e geograficamente posicionadas. Governadores e prefeitos, órgãos de planejamento municipais e estaduais, investidos de maior autonomia e de novas responsabilidades após a Constituição de 1988, dependem hoje como nunca dos censos para definirem suas políticas públicas, com base em informações atualizadas sobre a população sob suas jurisdições. Entretanto, as demandas por informações agregadas à posição também vêm de outras esferas, que vão do setor não-governamental e privado ao governo federal, fazendo com que muito aumentasse a relevância dos censos e por conseqüência os resultados das pesquisas. Para atender a grande demanda, o IBGE vem continuamente aperfeiçoando o que denominamos de Base Territorial, que é um sistema integrado de informações de natureza geográfica e alfanumérica e se constitui no principal requisito para a garantia da adequada cobertura das operações de levantamento censitário. Face a este novo cenário, o IBGE iniciou a elaboração de mapas da base territorial em meio digital, durante as ações preparatórias para o Censo 2000, se deparando com as dificuldades de integração das áreas urbanas e rurais e a baixa qualidade dos insumos de mapeamento em escala cadastral, disponível nas áreas menos desenvolvidas, pois a Instituição não é produtora de mapeamento em escala cadastral. A metodologia proposta visa melhorar a qualidade dos Mapas de Setores Urbanos MSU, com a utilização de imagens Google Earth, a partir software MicroStation 95, periféricos e aplicativos de conversão disponíveis no IBGE, com o estabelecimento de uma nova rotina de trabalho para produção e substituição dos mapas de setores urbanos, de forma a garantir uma maior representatividade territorial dos dados estatísticos para divulgação.The history of census in Brazil shows that the worry with the territorial component in statistical surveys appeared in the 1940 Census. For the first time the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (IBGE) tried to describe aspects of the geographic reality, of interest for the assembling operation in cartographic basis a complex task due to the great extension of the Brazilian territory and mainly in relation to the quality of the cartographic material available at that time. Nowadays in our country the demands for more detailed and geographically positioned data grow governors and majors, planning institutes at municipal and state levels, owners of more autonomy and new responsibilities after the 1988 Constitution depend today as never before on the census to define their public policies based on up-dated data on the population under their jurisdictions.Nevertheless the demands for date linked to the position come also from other areas which range from the non-governmental and private sector of the Federal Government increasing the importance of census and by consequence the results of the researches. To respond to the great demand, the IBGE continuously implement the so-called Territorial Base, which is an integrated data system of geographical nature and alfa-numerical and it is the main requisite for the warrant of the adequate cover of the census operations. Due to this new scenery, IBGE started the elaboration of maps of the territorial base through digital means during the preparation actions for the 2000 Census, facing difficulties concerning the integration of urban and rural areas and the low quality of mapping data in cadastral scale, available in less developed areas once the institution does not produce in a cadastral scale.The methodology proposed aims at improving the quality of Urban Sectors Maps MSU, using the Google Earth images, from the software Micro Station 95, peripheric and applicative of conversion available at IBGE, with the establishment of a new routine of work for the production and replacement of the maps of the urban sectors, in order to guarantee a greater territorial representativeness of statistical data for dissemination.

O censo é uma operação estatística complexa que um país executa de dez em dez anos e exerce um papel fundamental na obtenção de dados sobre a população. Os dados obtidos pelo censo são usados para o planejamento do país e em diversas áreas de pesquisa. Para que os dados sejam fiáveis é necessário que no âmbito da concepção do projeto se defina as estratégias de execução desde a fase pré-censo, censo e pós-censo. A fase pós-censo, que é o foco desta pesquisa, caracteriza-se pelo tratamento dos dados coletados no campo durante o censo e disseminação dos resultados em forma de tabelas, gráficos, mapas, dentre outros. Para esta pesquisa, foram selecionados 11 indicadores que fazem parte dos dez temas publicados por províncias em forma de quadros nas disseminações definitivas do censo 2007. Os indicadores foram modelados, foi criada uma base de dados espaciais e representados através de mapas em 11 províncias que compõem Moçambique. A modelagem consistiu na elaboração do modelo conceitual em ArgoUML, um software livre e de código aberto. Devido a restrições impostas pelo ArgoUML foi utilizado o DBDesigner Fork, software livre de código aberto, que permitiu a geração do modelo entidade-relacionamento e de Script SQL. Por meio do comando SQL no pgAdmim III foi possível executar o Script SQL e implementar a base de dados do censo em forma de tabelas. Após a implementação foi possível observar toda a modelagem elaborada. A representação espacial dos indicadores também foi feita a partir de software livre de código aberto - Quantum GIS. A partir dos mapas elaborados foi feita a análise dos indicadores por província e observou-se que as províncias do centro e norte de Moçambique apresentam baixos resultados em relação às províncias localizadas no sul.
The census is a complex statistical operation that a country runs every ten years and plays a key role in obtaining data on the population. The data obtained by the Census in a country are used for planning and also in several areas of research. For data to be reliable it is necessary that, within the project design to define implementation strategies starting from pre-census phase, census and postcensus. The post-census phase, which is the focus of this research is characterized by the processing of data collected in the field during the census and disseminating the results in tables, graphs, maps, and other formats. For this research, we selected eleven indicators that are part of the ten subjects published per provinces in tabular format within the final disseminations in the 2007 census. The indicators were modeled, a spatial database was created and represented through maps in eleven provinces that comprise Mozambique. The modeling was to draw up the conceptual model in ArgoUML a free and open source software. Due to restrictions imposed by ArgoUML, the DBDesigner Fork was used, a free open source software, which allowed the generation of the entity-relationship model and the SQL script. Through SQL command in pgAdmim III was possible to run the SQL script and implement the census database in a table format. After implementation was possible to observe all the modeling done. The spatial representation of the indicators was also done through the free open source software - Quantum GIS. From the maps drawn up, an analysis of the indicators per province has been made and it was observed that the provinces of central and northern Mozambique have low results comparing to the provinces located in the south.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about the negotiations of inclusion of Afro-Colombians in multiculturalism, understood as a form of government of populations based on cultural difference, but in which the limits of that difference that is recognized and managed politically are in permanent reconfiguration. Using the ethnographic approach (as a method of research and text description) I take various senses about the Afro-Colombian cultural difference, and how they are re-signified and mobilized in three universes where it is possible to approach the particularities of the multicultural project in Colombia: the negotiations for the categories in the censuses, the negotiations around the policy of reparation to victims, and the negotiations about their afropacific music. In each universe I identify the social actors that converge, the articulations, tensions and sonorities that come from these interactions, in order to identify the senses about Afro-Colombian ethnicity that are (re)configured and the associated socio-political dynamics. The analysis of this three proposed ethnographic universes allows me to conclude with a critical look on the Colombian multicultural project in the current post-conflict scenario, and how the anthropological practice is inscribed in this context.Esta tesis trata sobre las negociaciones por la inclusión de los afrocolombianos al multiculturalismo, comprendido como una forma de gobierno de las poblaciones basada en la diferencia cultural, pero donde los límites de esa diferencia que se reconoce y gestiona políticamente están en permanente reconfiguración. Empleando el enfoque etnográfico (como método de investigación y descripción textual) sigo los diversos sentidos sobre la diferencia cultural afrocolombiana, y cómo son resignificados y movilizados en tres universos donde es posible aproximarse a las particularidades del proyecto multicultural en Colombia: las negociaciones por las categorías en los censos, las negociaciones en torno a la política de reparación a víctimas, y las negociaciones sonoras de la música afropacífica. En cada universo identifico los actores sociales que convergen, las articulaciones, tensiones y sonoridades que surgen de esas interacciones, para así identificar los sentidos sobre la etnicidad afrocolombiana que son (re)configurados y las dinámicas sociopolíticas asociadas. El análisis de los tres universos etnográficos propuestos, me permite concluir con una mirada crítica sobre el proyecto multicultural colombiano en el escenario actual de postconflicto, y cómo se inscribe la práctica antropológica en este contexto.

Full textAbstract:
El present treball proposa un estudi de l’endeutament municipal a la regió de Lleida des dels anys de la postguerra dels Segadors fins a les primeres dècades del segle XIX. Amb aquesta finalitat, s’analitzen els títols de censal, essent aquests el mecanisme d’endeutament dominant durant els segles moderns. L’objectiu de l’estudi és reflexionar sobre el comportament del mercat censalista municipal a llarg termini, parant atenció en l’efecte que tenen les diferents conjuntures econòmiques.
Per a tal propòsit, s’analitzen els fons comptables del comú de la ciutat de Lleida i d’altres municipis de la seva àrea econòmica, així com de diferents censalistes, d’entre els que destaca el capítol catedralici lleidatà, que clarament és un dels grans creditors a nivell territorial.
Durant els dos segles estudiats s'observa com l’impagament de les pensions de censal és una constant que comença emprant-se per problemes financers puntuals i que acaba esdevenint un element estructural del sistema financer. Aquesta morositat crònica juga un paper determinant en la desarticulació del mercat censalista, juntament amb la reducció dels “interessos” de 1751 (quan es redueixen del 5 al 3% anual). Al seu torn, el triomf del liberalisme acaba modernitzant el mercat creditici, quedant obsolets uns títols que eren de naturalesa rendista i propis de l’Antic Règim.El presente trabajo propone un estudio del endeudamiento municipal en la región de Lleida desde los años de la posguerra dels Segadors hasta las primeras décadas del siglo XIX. Con este fin, se analizan los títulos de censal, siendo estos el mecanismo de endeudamiento dominante durante los siglos modernos. El objetivo del estudio es reflexionar sobre el comportamiento del mercado censalista municipal a largo plazo, prestando especial atención al efecto que tienen sobre él las diferentes coyunturas económicas. Para tal propósito, se analizan los fondos contables del común de la ciudad de Lleida y de otros municipios de su área económica, así como de diferentes censalistas, de entre los que destaca el capítulo catedralicio leridano, que claramente fue un los grandes acreedores a nivel territorial. Durante los dos siglos estudiados se observa como el impago de las pensiones de censal es una constante que empieza empleándose por problemas financieros puntuales pero que acaba convirtiéndose en un elemento estructural del propio sistema. Esta morosidad crónica juega un papel determinante en la desarticulación del mercado censalista, junto con la reducción de los "intereses" de 1751 (cuando se reducen del 5 al 3% anual). A su vez, el triunfo del liberalismo acaba modernizando el mercado crediticio, quedando obsoletos unos títulos que eran de naturaleza rentista y propios del Antiguo Régimen.
This work proposes a study of municipal indebtedness in the region of Lleida since the Catalan post-war period until the beginning of the 19th century. For this purpose, it analyzes consignative census titles, since these were the dominant mechanism of indebtedness during the modern ages. The objective of this project is to reflect on the behavior of the municipal census market in the long term, paying attention to the effect of different economic conjunctures. For this objective, the accounting funds of the municipality of Lleida and other municipalities in its economic region are analyzed. At the same time we analyze different censalists, among them, the chapter of the cathedral of Lleida, which is clearly one of the major creditors in terms of territory. During the two centuries studied, it is observed that the non-payment of census pensions is a constant that begins with financial problems but ends up becoming a structural element. This chronic morosity plays a determining role in the disarticulation of the census market, along with the reduction of the "interests" of 1751 (when they are reduced from 5 to 3%). Moreover, the triumph of liberalism modernizes the credit market, leaving obsolete titles that were rent nature and typical of the Old Regime.

Full textAbstract:
This is a theoretical study of the marks that could be obtained from quizzes, when a census is done. The quizzes are limited to 'special' quizzes and we look at how many obtain a particular mark, and what happens to the distribution of marks when the guessing problem is tackled. Without building any tools we can do some calculations, but then we are driven to writing computer programs that calculate and display the distribution of marks. When computer programs are written they involve such large numbers that computer programs cannot normally handle them. Thus we are driven to languages, like C, where integers of an arbitrary size can be handled in libraries like LEDA. Quizzes can either have all their stems answered or have some of their stems missed. The philosophy of this study is to start off simply and gradually get more complicated, and so 'special' quizzes where all stems are answered are looked at first followed by 'special' quizzes where stems can be missed. The guessing problem is tackled, in this study, by: a) using negative marking, b) raising the pass mark, c) using a more complex quiz. What we find is that when the guessing problem of 'special' quizzes is exactly tackled the distribution of marks moves to the left (when the mean mark is 0), and that the tackling of the guessing problem leads to more problems. All 'special' stems include the answer, which can be guessed. The likelihood of guessing the correct answer to a stem decreases as the complexity of the quiz increases, but then the likelihood of passing also decreases. As the complexity of the quiz increases the distribution is 'bunched' at the lower end which means that half the marks of distribution are between the lowest mark and the mark where the mean occurs. The main conclusion is not quantitative but qualitative and is "Do not use 'special' quizzes for measuring understanding" because 'special' quizzes do not provide a space that allows one to demonstrate one's understanding and are therefore in-valid when understanding is claimed to be measured.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is a case study of an agency attempting to continue to operate in terms of an outmoded paradigm, one whose foundation is based on a reference point for decision and action that does not fit the social, political and organizational conditions of postmodernity. The orientation of the study is toward public administration as political process; a political process which reflects the postmodern condition. Postmodern tendencies in culture and society are characterized by a particularly salient "thinning" of reality or development of hyper-reality where communication has lost the check on authenticity found in dialogue. This thinning of the macro culture exists in dialectical contradiction to more robust communities of discourse developing in enclaves in a tendency referred to as neotribalism. These dialectical tendencies lead to "simulated politics," where political entrepreneurs traffic in symbols rather than deeds and substantive policy making is restrained. This development favors those who benefit from the status quo.
The Census Bureau is the focal agency. It is facing a crisis of legitimacy in its standoff with the Republican-controlled Congress over its plan to use sampling and estimation to produce a statistically adjusted apportionment count for Census 2000. The case of the Census 2000 stand-off between technocrats at the Census Bureau, supported by the Democratic Clinton administration and organizations and governmental entities that are adversely affected by census undercounts, and the Republican-dominated Congress, is an example of non-dialogic communication. It is masked by a trafficking in symbols and potentially will most likely lead to maintenance of the status quo in the form of traditional census methodology. This methodology differentially undercounts African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians and Asians, as compared to whites. Republicans compare the Census 2000 plan to use sampling to adjust the census for undercounts to the "Hillary Health Care Model" (a derogatory reference to the First Lady's involvement in public policy), describing it as a "polling technique," while Democrats and statisticians cast the argument of Republicans as one of "politicians trying to preserve their domain," and of playing "racial politics". The strategy of the Republican Congress appears to be to discredit the expertise of the Census Bureau and to rely on the legal process and a conservative Supreme Court to derail and nullify the plan for Census 2000, thus causing the agency to revert to the "status quo." Curiously, the Census Bureau has set itself up for this potential outcome by taking a strategically counterproductive and disastrously adversarial approach to the Congress. The Census Bureau has fundamentally misperceived the contemporary cultural environment and the politics that goes with it. It no longer can represent its own position as nonpolitical, value-free science, representing truth and moral right. This lack of perspective has critically hampered the agency's ability to negotiate in a political discourse appropriate to postmodernity.
The goal of the study is to make a contribution to furthering organization-environment theory, with emphasis on the political environment. It is this aspect of organization theory generally that has most relevance to Public Administration but that has been least well developed. The dissertation is designed to conform to the traditional Inter-University Case Program (ICP) case study format. As such, the study addresses the broad issue of agency-environment relationship and the role of the public administrator within that environment. As with all ICP-type studies the research does not lead to an "answer." This is especially appropriate now because in the postmodern condition there is no one answer or truth to be found by rational analysis. Rather, ideas, insights, and various conclusions are offered.Ph. D.

Automatic classification of devices in computer network can be used for detection of anomalies in a network and also it enables application of security policies per device type. The key to creating a device classifier is a quality data set, the public availability of which is low and the creation of a new data set is difficult. The aim of this work is to create a tool, that will enable automated annotation of the data set of network devices and to create a classifier of network devices that uses only basic data from network flows. The result of this work is a modular tool providing automated annotation of network devices using system ADiCT of Cesnet's association, search engines Shodan and Censys, information from PassiveDNS, TOR, WhoIs, geolocation database and information from blacklists. Based on the annotated data set are created several classifiers that classify network devices according to the services they use. The results of the work not only significantly simplify the process of creating new data sets of network devices, but also show a non-invasive approach to the classification of network devices.

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa teve como tema a construção da história da alfabetização na perspectiva de gênero, no município de São Francisco de Paula/RS. Trata-se de um estudo histórico da educação sob o ponto de vista da relação de igualdade/desigualdade de gênero quanto à alfabetização. O primeiro capítulo trata do projeto de universalização da instrução pública de Condorcet, com ênfase na defesa da escolarização pública, laica, universal e da instrução feminina. O segundo capítulo trata da luta histórica pela igualdade de gênero quanto à alfabetização. Já o terceiro capítulo procede à análise das taxas de alfabetização no município de São Francisco de Paula/RS em um percurso histórico que compreende os censos demográficos brasileiros de 1920 até 2010. Esta análise da trajetória da alfabetização também contou com um estudo dos dados de alfabetização e analfabetismo para o Rio Grande do Sul e para o Brasil a partir de uma série de censos: 1920, 1950, 1980 e 2010, considerando como ponto de partida as taxas de analfabetismo do primeiro recenseamento brasileiro de 1872. A pesquisa revelou, com base no censo de 2010, que as atuais taxas de analfabetismo, tanto para o município da pesquisa, como para o Estado e para o Brasil, são muito inferiores àquelas verificadas no primeiro recenseamento brasileiro de 1872, assim como no recenseamento de 1920. As taxas de alfabetização entre os sexos, a partir do censo demográfico de 1920 até o de 1950, apresentam relativa superioridade masculina, superioridade que, a partir do censo de 1950, vai perdendo força e até invertendo-se. Com efeito, a análise das taxas de alfabetização dos censos de 1950, 1980 e 2010 por grupos de idade, tanto para o Brasil, como para o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, revelou que as mulheres das gerações mais jovens, são proporcionalmente mais alfabetizadas do que os homens destas mesmas gerações, ao contrário do que ainda se tem nas gerações de mais idade. As taxas gerais de alfabetização, isto é, da população total de 10 ou 15 anos ou mais, nestes mesmos censos, no município da pesquisa, indicam um crescimento das taxas de alfabetização relativamente maior entre as mulheres do que entre os homens, porém mantendo-se ainda superioridade em favor do sexo masculino, mas com quase eliminação da desigualdade no censo de 2010. Conclui-se que, mesmo que as taxas de analfabetismo tenham diminuído consideravelmente, permanece o desafio da alfabetização para todos, para mulheres e homens brasileiros, para a superação completa do analfabetismo ainda existente. Esta pesquisa ressaltou também a estreita relação entre alfabetização e escolarização, destacando os efeitos que esta tem sobre aquela, como sustentado por Cook-Gumperz (1991).This research has as a theme the construction of the history of literacy according to the gender perspective, in the municipality of São Francisco de Paula/ RS state . It´s about a historical study of the education under the view of the relation of equality and inequality gender as literacy. The first chapter approaches the Condorcet’s public education universal project emphasizing the defense of public education, secular, universal and of female instruction. The second chapter is about the historical struggle for gender equality as literacy. The third chapter proceeds the analysis of literacy taxes in São Francisco de Paula municipality in Rio Grande do Sul state during a historic route that includes the Brazilian population censuses from 1920 to 2010. This analysis of literacy course also used the literacy and illiteracy data for Rio Grande do Sul State and for Brazil as well from many censuses: 1920, 1950, 1980 and 2010, considering as a starting point the literacy and illiteracy rates of the first Brazilian census in the 1872. This research revealed, illiteracy, as for Rio Grande do Sul state and for Brazil, they are much lower than those noticed in the first census of 1782, as well as in the census of 1920. The illiteracy rates of the sexes, from the 1920 census to 1950, shows a slightly male superiority, this superiority that from 1950 is losing strength and even reversing. Indeed, the analysis of literacy rates of census of 1950, 1980 and 2010 according to age, both for Brazil and for Rio Grande do Sul state, revealed that the young women generation are proportionally more literacy than the men of these generations, contrary to what it still has on the older generations. The general literacy rates of the total population of 10 or 15 years old or more, in these same censuses, in the municipality of the research, indicate an increase in the rates of literacy slightly higher among women than among men, although still keeping superiority in favor male, but with almost elimination of inequality in the 2010 census. It follows that even illiteracy rates have considerably decreased, remains the challenge, of literacy for all, for Brazilian women and men to the complete overcoming of illiteracy still existing. This research also reported the close relationship between literary and schooling, highlighting the effects that this has on that, as supported by Cook- Gumperz (1991).

Full textAbstract:
Ingeniera Civil IndustrialEl 19 de abril de 2017 se realiza el Primer Censo Abreviado de Población y Vivienda en Chile, lo que implica el mismo despliegue nacional de un censo tradicional, con la diferencia que el cuestionario posee un número menor de preguntas. Este proyecto pretende mitigar la falta de datos estadísticos, base para la realización de políticas públicas en Chile, provocado por la deshabilitación de los datos del Censo 2012, debido a fallas metodológicas en el proceso. El Área de Reclutamiento Censo debe obtener la cantidad óptima de censistas para lograr la cobertura geográfica a nivel nacional, demanda estimada en 524.442 personas. Para el diseño de los procesos, esta memoria utiliza el Censo del 2002, como base histórica de un Censo con un resultado exitoso. En primer lugar se identifican, cuantifican y caracterizan las instituciones involucradas como fuentes de reclutamiento en Chile, utilizadas también a nivel internacional, como empleados públicos (13%), profesores municipales (13%), estudiantes de 3° y 4° medio (45%), profesores educación subvencionada y particular (3%), estudiantes educación superior (25%), organizacionales sociales (1%) y ciudadanos en general. Se encuentran 18 comunas en Chile, las cuales no cuentan con colegios de enseñanza media o instituciones de educación para las cuales es necesaria la participación de empleados públicos u organizaciones sociales. Se proponen las funciones de los involucrados en el proceso de reclutamiento los cuales son la Coordinadora Nacional de Reclutamiento, reclutador R.M., los Jefes Comunales y los Reclutadores Regionales. Estos últimos se estiman serán 8 a nivel nacional, quienes tendrán asignados entre 1 a 3 regiones máximo. Se sugiere solicitar a los reclutadores regionales la elaboración de informes de avances y un sueldo variable en base a metas de desempeño, para controlar y motivar los niveles de avance por región. De igual forma se sugieren metas de desempeño para el área de capacitación. Esta memoria tiene por objetivo final, la posibilidad de documentar todas las actividades, eventos, procesos y diseños estratégicos y tácticos a través de los reportes semanales, las bases de datos de inscritos y la memoria censal institucional, que permitan llevar a cabo el éxito de los objetivos del Área de Reclutamiento y del proyecto Censo. La información documentada servirá como base de funcionamiento, para el siguiente Censo 2022, disminuyendo recursos destinados a la planificación previa y más recursos a la ejecución eficiente, aprendiendo y mejorando la experiencia pasada; sus éxitos y fracasos.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a eficiência técnica dos estabelecimentos agropecuários do Brasil e de suas regiões, utilizando como base os dados do Censo Agropecuário 2006. Mais especificamente, esta dissertação procura comparar as eficiências técnicas dos estabelecimentos rurais familiares em relação aos de caráter patronal, considerando-se as diferenças regionais no país. Para tanto, estimaram-se, sob diferentes hipóteses, fronteiras estocásticas de produção e, simultaneamente, modelos de efeitos de ineficiência. Com isso, foi possível mensurar as eficiências técnicas dos estabelecimentos rurais, bem como analisar as influências de fatores relacionados ao ambiente produtivo, permitindo a indicação de políticas públicas voltadas ao aperfeiçoamento do desempenho dos produtores. Nas estimações empíricas, observou-se menor eficiência técnica para os estabelecimentos familiares. Em termos regionais, destacou-se, no que concerne à eficiência técnica dos estabelecimentos patronais, a região Sul do país, a qual também apresentou, ao lado do Centro-Oeste, os índices mais elevados para os estabelecimentos familiares, em média. Quanto à influência do ambiente produtivo, obteve-se que a educação formal e o acesso a crédito sobressaem como importantes fatores para a eficiência técnica da agropecuária brasileira.This dissertation aims to analyze the technical efficiency of farms in Brazil and its regions, based on the data from the 2006 Census of Agriculture. More specifically, this dissertation seeks to compare the technical efficiency of farm households in relation to business farms, considering the regional differences in the country. To do so, one simultaneously estimated, under different assumptions, stochastic production frontiers and inefficiency effects models. Thus, it was possible to measure the technical efficiency of farms, as well as analyze the influence of factors related to the production environment, allowing the indication of public policies aimed at improving the performance of producers. In the empirical estimation, it was observed, as expected, lower technical efficiency for farm households. In regional terms, with respect to the technical efficiency of business farms, the South region of Brazil stood out, also presenting, along with the Midwest region, the highest efficiency rates for farm household, on average. Regarding the influence of production environment, it was found that formal education and access to credit are noteworthy as important factors for the technical efficiency of Brazilian agriculture.

A criação do Programa de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF) em 1996 teve como um dos objetivos a geração de renda. Desde então, este programa passou a ser constantemente estudado, porém de forma não conclusiva. O objetivo dessa dissertação é analisar os possíveis efeitos do PRONAF no desenvolvimento social da população rural, bem como verificar a contribuição das cooperativas como potencializadoras do programa. Os dados utilizados são provenientes dos Censos Demográficos do IBGE de 2000 e de 2010, dos Censos Agropecuários de 1996 e de 2006, do Atlas do Desenvolvimento Humano dos Municípios e do Banco Central. A metodologia utilizada para as análises é a de estimação de modelos econométricos para dados em painel. De forma geral, os resultados indicam que o PRONAF teve efeito positivo sobre a renda per capita rural dos municípios, quando este atendeu um maior número de produtores. Porém os resultados sugerem que gerou efeitos negativos na permanência de crianças e adolescentes na escola. Nota-se ainda que nem o número de cooperativas, nem a proporção estabelecimentos cooperados mostraram efeitos nas variáveis dependentes estudadas. Quando são feitas as interações entre a proporção de cooperados e valor do crédito do PRONAF, verifica-se um efeito positivo para a renda e negativo na frequência escolar. Porém, a interação entre proporção de cooperados e número de contratos do PRONAF, mostra o efeito inverso, com efeitos negativos na renda e positivos na frequência escolar. Enfim, sugere-se que sejam feitas intervenções visando uma utilização mais qualificada dos recursos.
The Brazilian Program for Strengthening Family Farming (PRONAF) was created in 1996 with the aim of generating income. Since then, this program has been constantly studied but without conclusive results. The target of this dissertation is to analyze the possible effects of PRONAF on social development of the rural population, and to verify the contribution of cooperatives to the results of the program. The data used are from the Demographic Census of 2000 and 2010 from IBGE, the Agricultural Censuses of 1996 and 2006, from the Atlas of Human Development of the Municipalities and from the Brazilian Central Bank. The methodology used for the analysis is the estimation of econometric models for panel data. Overall, the results indicate that the PRONAF had a positive effect on rural per capita income of the municipalities, when it benefits a larger number of producers. But the results suggest that the PRONAF generated negative effects on the permanence of children and adolescents in school. Note also that neither the number of cooperative members nor proportion establishments of cooperative members showed effects on dependent variables. The interaction between the proportion of cooperative members and credit value of PRONAF shows a positive effect on income and negative in the school frequency. However, the interaction between the proportion of members and number of PRONAF contracts shows the reverse effect, with negative effects on income and positive at school attendance. Finally it is suggested that interventions are made order to make most qualified use of resources.

A presente dissertação foi desenvolvida no âmbito do Mestrado Profissional do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação (PPGP) do Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). O caso de gestão estudado, que discutiu como se dá o processo de inserção e monitoramento dos dados do Censo Escolar nas escolas na rede estadual de Cacoal – RO, busca minimizar as inconsistências no sistema Educacenso, tornando os dados mais próximos à realidade. Para isso, foi preciso acompanhar o processo de inserção de dados nas escolas. O objetivo geral foi analisar o preenchimento e o monitoramento do Educacenso a partir do relatório de alunos transferidos e não admitidos após (alunos que não foram inseridos na segunda etapa do Censo Escolar) em nenhuma modalidade no ano vigente na rede estadual de Cacoal (RO), propondo um Plano de Ação Educacional (PAE). O relatório apresenta alunos que pediram transferência e não foram inseridos no sistema Educacenso pela escola de destino, configurando-se, assim, que ficaram evadidos. O embasamento teórico desta pesquisa tem como principal suporte o Caderno de Estudos do Censo Escolar da Educação Básica e sistema Educacenso, ancorandose também em autores que abordam temas como direito de aprendizagens, cultura, organização e gestão escolar, políticas educacionais, sistemas educacionais e controle social. Como metodologia, foi utilizada a pesquisa qualitativa, sendo usados os seguintes instrumentos de coleta de dados: análise documental, entrevistas e questionários aplicados aos atores direta e indiretamente ligados ao tema. A pesquisa foi relevante, pois os dados do Censo Escolar são utilizados como ferramenta de planejamento estratégico, responsável pelo banco de dados para formulação e implementação de políticas públicas, pelo repasse financeiro para as escolas e pela organização do sistema de avaliação nacional. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que o referido relatório não apresentava, de forma fidedigna, todos os alunos que ficaram fora da escola em 2016. Tal aspecto tem consequências graves no que se refere à proteção do direito educacional, uma vez que indica possível desconhecimento sobre dados da evasão escolar. A partir desses resultados, propõe-se um Plano de Ação Educacional com ações que buscam minimizar as inconsistências encontradas com a pesquisa. Como foi necessário realizar ações antes da conclusão da pesquisa, diante das peculiaridades do sistema Educacenso, foram apresentadas ações implementadas e a implementar. A pesquisa proporcionou debater temas voltados para o direito de aprendizagem e o papel dos atores dentro da escola, assim como a função de controle social e as ferramentas oferecidas por meio do Censo Escolar.
The present dissertation was developed under the Professional Master's Program of the Postgraduate Program in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). The studied management case, which discussed how the process of insertion and monitoring of School Census data in schools in the state network of Cacoal - RO, seeks to minimize the inconsistencies in the educational system, making the data closer to reality. For this, it was necessary to follow the data insertion process in schools. The general objective was to analyze the completion and monitoring of Educacenso from the report of students transferred and not admitted after (students who were not included in the second stage of the School Census) in any modality in the current year in the state network of Cacoal (RO) , proposing an Educational Action Plan (SAP). The report presents students who requested transfer and were not inserted in the Educacenso system by the destination school, thus configuring that they were evaded. The theoretical basis of this research has as main support the Caderno de Estudos do Censo Escolar de Educação Básica and Educacenso system, also anchoring itself in authors that deal with subjects such as learning rights, culture, school organization and management, educational policies, educational systems and social control. As methodology, the qualitative research was used, and the following instruments of data collection were used: documentary analysis, interviews and questionnaires applied to the actors directly and indirectly related to the theme. The research was relevant, since the data of the School Census are used as a strategic planning tool, responsible for the database for formulating and implementing public policies, for the financial transfer to schools and for the organization of the national evaluation system. The survey results showed that this report did not reliably present all out-of-school students in 2016. This has serious consequences for the protection of the right to education, since it indicates possible ignorance about data of school dropout. From these results, it is proposed an Educational Action Plan with actions that seek to minimize the inconsistencies found with the research. As it was necessary to carry out actions before the conclusion of the research, given the peculiarities of the Educacenso system, actions were implemented and implemented. The research provided the opportunity to discuss themes related to the right to learning and the role of the actors within the school, as well as the social control function and the tools offered through the School Census.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to collect in a distinct corpus all the Latin verse inscriptions found in Roman Britain, those entirely metrical and those mixed with prose, those definitely metrical and those questionably so as well, analyse them both individually and as a block, with all the relative interconnections. The texts are also considered as evidence for a certain type of Romanisation spread in the province from the first to the fourth century AD. The aim of my research is to: - create a complete census of all the Latin verse inscriptions gathered from Roman Britain - trace the history of their discovery and map out the previous, including antiquarian, studies on them. This proves to be particularly useful for those inscriptions that experienced a tangled history and where with time some crucial details about the text and its archaeological context went missing in the accounts. - analyse the texts both from an epigraphic-historical and linguistic-philological point of view - offer fresh interpretations and supplements of the fragmentary texts - put the inscriptions in relation to their archaeological context - consider the implications for the cultural level of the province during the Roman occupation The results arc compared to those extrapolated from the metrical inscriptions found in Gallia Belgica. My investigation has clearly shown that the use of verse inscriptions in Britannia was markedly different from that in neighbouring Belgica. The comparison brings interesting conclusions and observations regarding the different approach and use of verse inscriptions in the two Roman provinces. Latin verse inscriptions represent an interesting key-study on the leve I of culture and sophistication that the Romans, together with the locals, achieved in a provincial environment. The comparative study proves the thesis that verse inscriptions do say something about the type of Romanisation of a province: the metrical texts found in Belgica are in fact quite different from those from Britannia.

Full textAbstract:
Inequality is a social phenomenon that exists across all nations; it is a condition which means that not everyone enjoys the same access to resources of all kinds and to certain positions that society values. Despite its importance, in Peru, the analysis of different approaches to inequality was not taken up until the 20th century, since it was only then that data began to be prepared to enable its study. Because detailed analyses of inequality did not exist before the 20th century, the objective of this study is to estimate income inequality in Peru at the end of the 19th century on the basis of the 1876 census, the first population and housing census of the Republican era. This census is considered to be particularly important for its utilization of modern techniques to enumerate the inhabitants of the day.La desigualdad es un fenómeno social que existe en todas las naciones, es una condición que implica que las personas no gocen del mismo acceso a los recursos de todo tipo y a ciertas posiciones que valora la sociedad. A pesar de la importancia, en el Perú, estimaciones sobre diferentes enfoques de la desigualdad fueron abordados a partir del siglo XX debido a que desde aquella época recién se elaboran datos que hicieron posible su estudio. Dado que no existen estimaciones detalladas sobre la desigualdad antes del siglo XX, el objetivo de este estudio es estimar la desigualdad de ingresos en el Perú a finales del siglo XIX tomando como base al censo de 1876, primer censo de población y vivienda de la Época Republicana. Se le considera el más importante por ser el que contó con técnicas modernas para el empadronamiento de los habitantes de aquella época.

Full textAbstract:
There is now convincing evidence from imaging and polarization studies that the appearance of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) depends strongly on orientation. This thesis proposes to address this question by imaging a sample of low-redshift radio-selected galaxies in the infrared, where the obscuration due to dust is reduced, in the hope of providing an unbiased survey of the line-of-sight extinctions towards AGN and the relative numbers of hidden sources. The low redshift of the sample allows the study of similar luminosity Fanaroff-Riley class I and class II sources, with the opportunity to explore the nuclear luminosity function of lower luminosity objects than in previous studies. Infrared K and L' images were obtained for 28 galaxies. The non-thermal nuclear contribution to the K band flux is then estimated by subtracting a fitted two-dimensional surface brightness galaxy model from each image. The stellar contribution to the L' flux is estimated by fitting simple stellar population models to the optical spectra of a subsample of the objects and calculating the infrared K-L' colour of these fitted populations. Optical spectra were obtained for 13 objects in the sample. The reddening towards the nucleus is calculated by subtracting the intrinsic K-L' colour of a quasar or starburst from the observed value. Nuclear sources are detected in 10 members of the sample. The intrinsic luminosities of all these sources would put them above the quasar/Seyfert dividing line of Mv < -23, making them possible candidates for obscured radio-loud quasars. The correlation between extinction and orientation is then explored. The expected anti-correlation between core-to-lobe ratio R and extinction is not apparent, whilst a possible correlation between extinction and galaxy size is observed, larger galaxies appearing to contain more dust.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing food insecurity, lack of sustainable food systems, and a desire to participate in the food system are prompting the growth of various forms of urban agriculture: community gardens, urban homesteads, and urban farms. Urban farms, as distinct from other urban agriculture projects, are defined by the sale of their product. They raise produce and grow ornamentals to sell in neighbourhoods, all while building urban food networks that connect communities to their food.
Resilient localized food production systems must be economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable to succeed in a changing environment. Research on urban agriculture has largely focused on community gardens and their social benefits, leaving little known about entrepreneurial urban farms. This study examines the business models and economics of Metro Vancouver’s urban farms through a newly developed tool, the ‘Urban Farming Census.’ The use of this semi-structured interview tool revealed revenues, costs, financing, and sales models of urban farmers as well as their community connections and benefits. The Urban Farming Census was applied during the 2010 and 2011 growing seasons, capturing the first attempts by Vancouver’s urban farming organizations growing sustainable businesses.
In 2010, eight urban farms produced $128,000 worth of produce on 2.31 acres, supporting 17 paid employees. In 2011, ten urban farms sold $170,000 worth of produce on 4.19 acres, supporting 30 paid employees. Urban farms do more than sell produce; they educate their communities about food production and provide space for individuals and communities to explore their intergenerational, multicultural food cultures.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and explain the processes and decisions that were involved in the creation of the National Area Classification of 2001 Census Output Areas (OAs). The thesis describes the creation of the classification: selection of the variables, assembly of the classification database, the methods of standardisation and the clustering procedures, together with some discussion of alternative methodologies that were considered for use. The processes used for creating the clusters, their naming and description are outlined. The classification is mapped and visualised in a number of different ways. In order to enable a classification of OAs to be possible the document starts with a review of the history of area classification and issues surrounding its future development. The methodological and theoretical issues in the creation of a classification system are also discussed. In order to test out the practicalitie s of creating a classification system, a classification of UK local authorities was created prior to the construction of the OA classification. The thesis describes the quality assurance procedures that the OA classification was put through. This included an innovative consultation exercise. This ensured that the classification was of enough quality and without error, enabling it to be published as a ‘National Statistic’. Examples of use of the classification are presented, outlining the value and relevance of the classification to social research. The OA classification is connected to other scales of classification to form a multi-scale classification system enabling the socio-demographic pattern of the UK to be examined at multiple scales. The project had to overcome numerous methodological issues due to the size of dataset that was used. The project used a new methodology to create the first free-to-use small scale classification of the UK. The classification was published as a ‘National Statistic’ on the 29th July 2005 and is freely available . The classification can be downloaded from the ONS website at http://www.statistics.gov.uk/about/methodology_by_theme/area_classification/oa/default.asp or via the School of Geography, University of Leeds website at: http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/d.vickers/OAclassinfo.html. Alternatively it can be ordered on CD by contacting info@statistics.gov.uk. The publication of the classification as a ‘National Statistic’ has created a resource that can be used by private, public and academic researchers.

Full textAbstract:
Le recensement provincial est une institution centrale de l’Empire romain. Né avec le Principat, il était destiné à estimer les ressources humaines et matérielles des territoires sous domination romaine, et s’est imposé comme la clé de voûte de la fiscalité provinciale. Néanmoins, il demeure mal connu. Cette situation vient de la faiblesse numérique des sources et de leur nature. En dehors de l'Égypte, les cens provinciaux sont essentiellement connus grâce à des inscriptions dédiées aux sénateurs et chevaliers ayant participé à ces opérations. Pour étudier le recensement à l'échelle de l'empire, il nous donc a paru nécessaire de diversifier les points de vue et de ne pas nous limiter à l'approche la plus fréquemment adoptée dans les études consacrées au census, l'analyse prosopographique. Bien que cette dernière s'impose comme la plus naturelle étant donné la nature de la documentation qui nous est parvenue, elle limite le champ d'étude aux seules provinces dans lesquelles sont attestés des censiteurs impériaux et peine à rendre compte de la logique d'ensemble de l'institution comme des modalités selon lesquelles l'information était collectée. Notre objectif était d'écrire une histoire fiscale et politique du recensement, mais aussi une histoire de ses procédures et non pas seulement de ses agents. Nous avons donc choisi d’élargir l’angle d’approche et d'inclure dans notre corpus toutes les sources littéraires, papyrologiques et juridiques susceptibles de nous éclairer sur cette institution. La première partie est consacrée aux aspects fiscaux et tente de comprendre le fonctionnement de l’impôt provincial. Dans quelles mesures le recensement se prêtait-il à la collecte des informations nécessaires à la levée des tributa ? La deuxième s'intéresse au déroulement des opérations dans les diverses provinces. Notre objectif est d'identifier les différents niveaux de collecte de l'information tout en rendant compte des différences régionales dont témoignent les sources. Au coeur de cette partie se trouve une réflexion sur la complémentarité entre le niveau local et le niveau provincial et sur les documents qui étaient produits aux divers échelons. Enfin, nous abordons dans un troisième temps les aspects institutionnels et politiques afin de comprendre dans quelles mesures cette institution était caractéristique du nouveau régime qui vit le jour avec Auguste. Cette partie est également consacrée à l'étude des relations entre les agents en charge des opérations et les provinciaux qui y étaient soumisThe provincial census is a key institution of the Roman Empire. Instituted by the first Princeps, Augustus, it was aimed at estimating the human and material resources of the territories which were under Roman control, and thus proved to be a cornerstone of the Roman fiscal system. Nevertheless, it remains mostly unknown to this date, which can be explained by the lack of sources and by their nature: apart from Egypt, provincial censuses are mostly attested through inscriptions dedicated to senators and knights who took part in these operations. In this dissertation, we chose to tackle the subject from novel perspectives and not to limit ourselves to the prosopographic approach that remains so far the most frequently adopted one. Despite its relevance given the nature of the sources, it restricts the study to the provinces in which census officials are known, and fails to give a comprehensive idea of the institution and of the methods through which information was collected. Our goal was not only to write a fiscal and political history of the census, but also to describe its process and identify its agents. To this end were included into our corpus all the literary, papyrological and juridical sources that might improve our understanding of this institution. Firstly, we focused on the two main provincial taxes, i.e. tributum soli and tributum capitis, in order to describe the fiscal system at work in the provinces and to identify the criteria on which these tributa were imposed. Secondly, we studied the way information was collected during the census. Our goal was to unravel the levels (local, provincial) through which data transited, their interactions, and the documents each one of them produced. At the same time, we wanted to emphasize the differences that existed between provinces, and to explain them. Finally, we addressed the institutional and political aspects of the provincial census: to what extent was this institution representative of the new regime that appeared with Augustus, and an opportunity for the provincials to initiate a dialog with the Princeps through his representatives?

This thesis assesses approaches to population surface modeling by pulling together the benefits of reference gridded population data with local regression procedures and geographically weighted regression. This study provides a more detailed assessment of surface modelling accuracy than was achieved in any previous studies to assess factors which explain errors in the predictions. The primary aim of this thesis is to evaluate Martin’s (1989) population surface modeling approach and also design and implement a method using secondary data, suitable for application in England and Wales. This research is based on the idea that population data presented for a single zone could be redistributed in the zone using local parameters such as housing density. A weighted sum performs the spatial redistribution. The thesis also aims to make use of remote sensing (RS) data and image processing techniques such as maximum likelihood classification and normalised difference vegetation index to identify (un) populated cells. The potential of Landsat images and RS data analysis is assessed particularly for countries where high quality land use data are not readily obtainable, and their generation is not feasible in the near future. This thesis focuses on the identification of unpopulated cells, rather than populated units, using RS data. Case studies make use of data from Northern Ireland (NI), and Jonkoping in southern Sweden. The outcomes indicate the impact of population density, population variance, and resolution of source zones on the accuracy of population allocation to grid cells using Martin’s (1989) model. The results show significant accuracy in prediction to 100m cells using an alternative approach based on settlement data for NI and this is recommended as an alternative method for England and Wales. It also concluded that there the potential to generate population surfaces using Landsat data for areas where local residential data are not easily accessible.

Full textAbstract:
Stereo vision is a very useful, yet challenging technology for a wide variety of applications. One of the greatest challenges is meeting the computational demands of stereo vision applications that require real-time performance. The FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a readily-available technology that allows many stereo vision methods to be implemented while meeting the strict real-time performance requirements of some applications. Some of the best results have been obtained using non-parametric stereo correlation methods, such as the rank and census transform. Yet relatively little work has been done to study these methods or to propose new algorithms based on the same principles for improved stereo correlation accuracy or reduced resource requirements. This dissertation describes the sparse census and sparse rank transforms, which significantly reduce the cost of implementation while maintaining and in some case improving correlation accuracy. This dissertation also proposes the generalized census and generalized rank transforms, which opens up a new class of stereo vision transforms and allows the stereo system to be even more optimized, often reducing the hardware resource requirements. The proposed stereo methods are analyzed, providing both quantitative and qualitative results for comparison to existing algorithms. These results show that the computational complexity of local stereo methods can be significantly reduced while maintaining very good correlation accuracy. A hardware architecture for the implementation of the proposed algorithms is also described and the actual resource requirements for the algorithms are presented. These results confirm that dramatic reductions in hardware resource requirements can be achieved while maintaining high stereo correlation accuracy. This work proposes the multi-bit census, which provides improved pixel discrimination as compared to the census, and leads to improved correlation accuracy with some stereo configurations. A rotation-invariant census transform is also proposed and can be used in applications where image rotation is possible.

Full textAbstract:
In 2011, Statistics Austria carried out its first register-based census. Advantages of using administrative data for statistical purposes are, among others, a reduced burden for respondents and lower cost for the National Statistical Institutes (NSI). However, new challenges, like need for a new approach to the quality assessment of this kind of data arise. Therefore, Statistics Austria developed a comprehensive standardized framework to evaluate data quality for register-based statistics. In this paper, we present the basic concept of this quality framework and provide detailed results from the quality evaluation of the Austrian census of 2011. More specifically, we derive a quality measure for each census attribute from four complementary hyperdimensions. The first three of these hyperdimensions address the documentation of data, the usability of records and an external data validation. The fourth hyperdimension focuses on the quality of data imputations. The proposed framework combines these different quality-related information sources for each attribute to form an overall quality indicator. This procedure allows to track changes in quality during data processing and to compare the quality of different census generations.
