A mediação judicial do conflito no Assentamento Joana D’Arc e Usina hidrelétrica, no Rio Madeira, possibilitou estabelecer acordo indenizatório com adesão de cerca de 75% das famílias. O objetivo é analisar a mediação como instrumento emancipatório, de empoderamento e protagonismo às identidades coletivas, propiciando o espaço democrático de debate e alternativas ao conflito. Utilizou-se o método indutivo durante a revisão da literatura, com base em Sen, Habermas, Honneth, Almeida e pesquisa documental. Os resultados indicaram que a mediação visibiliza a interdependência, oportunizando o reconhecimento e o protagonismo dos envolvidos na solução do conflito, com base nos valores, necessidades e interesses.

Rua José Barbosa de Barros, 1780, CEP 18610-307, Botucatu – SP, e-mail: czimback@gmail.com 1 RESUMO Macrófitas aquáticas são organismos fotossintéticos, com tamanho suficiente para serem vistos a olho nu, que crescem submersas, flutuando ou sobre a superfície da água. A ação antrópica no represamento de corpos hídricos tem ocasionado a eutrofização dos recursos hídricos, e dentre os desequilíbrios que esta ação gera no meio aquático está à elevada proliferação de macrófitas. Devido a esse fato, essa pesquisa foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de realizar uma estimativa da área ocupada por macrófitas aquáticas no reservatório da Usina Hidrelétrica de Barra Bonita (SP), nos anos de 2013, 2014 e 2015. O estudo foi realizado na estação seca (mês de agosto), por meio do uso do NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) e classificação supervisionada MAXVER (Máxima Verossimilhança). Para obtenção dos mapas e gráficos, foram realizadas as seguintes ações: seleção das imagens do satélite LANDSAT-8/OLI, calibração radiométrica, correção atmosférica, reprojeção, definição do limite, recorte da área, NDVI e classificação supervisionada. Os mapas obtidos por meio da classificação supervisionada, auxiliada pelos mapas de NDVI, apontaram para um aumento de aproximadamente 50% na área ocupada por macrófitas aquáticas de 2013 a 2015. Palavras-chave: classificação supervisionada, eutrofização, índice NDVI, landsat-8. MINHONI, R. T. A.; PINHEIRO, M. P. M. A.; FILGUEIRAS, R.; ZIMBACK, C. R. L.REMOTE SENSING APPLIED TO THE MONITORING OF AQUATIC MACROPHYTES AT BARRA BONITA RESERVOIR, SP 2 ABSTRACT Aquatic macrophytes are photosynthetic organisms, large enough to be seen with naked eye, which grow submerged, floating or on the surface of the water. The anthropic action in the damming of water bodies has caused eutrophication of water resources, and among the imbalances that this action generates in the aquatic environment is the high proliferation of macrophytes. Due to this fact, this research was developed with the aim of estimating the area occupied by aquatic macrophytes in the reservoir of Barra Bonita Hydroelectric Power Plant (SP), in the years of 2013, 2014 and 2015. The study was carried out in the dry season (August), through the use of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and supervised classification MAXVER (Maximum Likelihood). To obtain the maps and graphs, the following actions were taken: selection of LANDSAT-8 / OLI satellite images, radiometric calibration, atmospheric correction, reprojection, boundary definition, NDVI and supervised classification. The maps obtained through supervised classification, aided by NDVI maps, pointed to an increase of approximately 50% in the area occupied by aquatic macrophytes from 2013 to 2015. Keywords: supervised classification, eutrophication, NDVI index, landsat-8.

Full textAbstract:
Os treze textos que se apresentam nesta edição de Labor & Engenho constituem um panorama parcial do diálogo travado entre pesquisadores do Projeto Eletromemória, inclusive com parceiros que são internacionais (Portugal e Argentina), mas não estranhos à problemática brasileira, pois as empresas elétricas que atuaram no mundo latino-ibérico têm mais relações de aproximação do que costumeiramente se explicita.Este número de Labor & Engenho abre com o texto “Da usina à população na velocidade da luz: fios elétricos e desenvolvimento”, de Gildo Magalhães (do Departamento de História, USP), em que se apresenta ao público leitor como surgiu e em que consistem as duas fases do Projeto Eletromemória. O autor discorre também sobre as áreas de pesquisa abrangidas no Projeto e que são palco onde se desenvolvem os demais textos que integram esta edição, para depois esboçar em breves pinceladas o histórico da eletrificação no Estado de São Paulo, para melhor contextualizar o tema tratado.O segundo texto, “Hidrelétricas na conquista territorial e no desenvolvimento urbano em São Paulo”, de Débora Marques de Almeida Nogueira Mortati e André Munhoz de Argollo Ferrão (respectivamente pós-doutoranda e docente no Departamento de Recursos Hídricos da FEC Unicamp), explora uma tipologia das primeiras centrais hidrelétricas paulistas, dividida por décadas, de 1890 a 1930. Nesta perspectiva, as usinas e a rede elétrica compõem, em consonância com os cafezais e as ferrovias, a paisagem cultural do território paulista, num período de urbanização acelerada.“Urbanização e industrialização: rios de São Paulo”, de Odette Carvalho de Lima Seabra (Departamento de Geografia, USP) trata da história de como uma empresa multinacional (a famosa Light) foi se assenhoreando das diretrizes urbanísticas da cidade, ao influenciar o uso dos principais rios que servem a cidade de São Paulo, bem como de suas margens. Com repercussões atuais, em face dos problemas de enchentes, estiagens e produção de energia elétrica, é um trabalho que segue a linha da já clássica tese de doutorado da autora.“Paisagem: realização da essência humana. O caso das Pequenas Centrais Hidrelétricas do Estado de São Paulo do período entre 1890 a 1960”, de Eduardo Silva Bueno (pós-graduando do Departamento de Geografia, USP) se desenvolve numa perspectiva filosófica de inspiração goetheana. Fazendo uso da ideia da harmonia que deve existir para o sucesso da transformação da paisagem feita pelo homem, as pequenas centrais hidrelétricas são analisadas como unidade espacial que ordena objetos de uma relação entre o natural e o humano.Em “A cicatriz da serra: reflexões sobre as adutoras da Usina de Cubatão”, de Gabriel Carlos de Souza Santos (historiador formado pela Unicamp), temos uma análise sobre a memória daquela que foi considerada à época de sua inauguração (1926) a maior hidrelétrica do mundo: Cubatão (hoje denominada Henry Borden). Com sua construção pela multinacional Light alterou-se definitivamente a paisagem da Serra do Mar, num esforço ímpar de criação de infraestrutura, responsável pelo abastecimento de energia elétrica para aqueles que se tornariam dois polos industriais significativos, o da capital, São Paulo, e o da Baixada Santista. O autor relembra ainda a iniciativa urbanística representada pela construção da Vila Light para os trabalhadores da usina.“A construção de uma das pioneiras usinas hidrelétricas paulistas: Itatinga”, da arquiteta e pesquisadora Ana Luisa Howard de Castilho e de Itamar Barbosa Gonçalves (engenheiro da CODESP), também aborda um caso concreto e exemplar de uma das usinas hidrelétricas históricas em operação contínua desde seu nascimento. Itatinga, localizada em Bertioga, funciona desde 1910 ainda com os mesmos geradores e turbinas, implantados para a missão pioneira que foi a de movimentar as máquinas do porto de Santos e impulsionar a economia cafeeira de exportação. Idealizada por um engenheiro brasileiro, o conjunto atual da barragem, usina, vila operária e outros elementos atestam a importância deste patrimônio industrial.Itatinga é também o objeto de “Hidrelétricas na virada do século XX: tratadística e periódicos”, de Denise Fernandes Geribello (pós-graduanda da Faculdade de Arquitetra e Urbanismo da USP), em sua pesquisa, a autora identificou e documentou dois fatos essenciais: primeiro que a usina segue (com alguns pequenos desvios) os tratados de construção de hidrelétricas que circulavam internacio-nalmente no início do século 20; segundo, que após sua construção Itatinga se tornou uma referência não apenas para a engenharia nacional, mas foi assim tratada em várias publicações na América do Norte e Europa, confirmando a importância da sua preservação e de sua memória.Renato de Oliveira Diniz apresenta em “A institucionalização da memória e da história do setor elétrico paulista” uma descrição analítica dos esforços institucionais em prol da preservação do patrimônio, da cultura material e dos arquivos das empresas elétricas no país, com ênfase para São Paulo. Historiador com larga experiência no setor elétrico e cuja experiência profissional se entrelaça com a existência dessa memória, expõe ainda nesse texto suas considerações e um balanço sobre a eficácia das ações privadas e governamentais voltadas a esse campo ao longo de mais de 30 anos.Um contraponto com o artigo anterior é fornecido por “A musealização do setor elétrico em São Paulo: construção de perspectivas para as usinas hidrelétricas”, de Marília Xavier Cury (do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da USP) e Mirian Midori Peres Yagui (museóloga e integrante da Secretaria de Cultura do Estado de São Paulo). A partir de um histórico do arcabouço legal brasileiro e paulista em torno do tema de museus, destacando sua aplicabilidade para o setor elétrico, as autoras fazem uma radiografia da rede de museus e dos esforços isolados que se pode associar com essa temática no estado de São Paulo. Os museus da Fundação Energia e Saneamento e outros são criticamente analisados, destacando seus aspectos de sucesso e insucesso, para ao final serem feitas importantes propostas de musealização temática em torno de uma amostra representativa das usinas hidrelétri-cas paulistas que estão sendo pesquisadas no Projeto Eletromemória, lançando ainda uma série de questionamentos vitais para que cumpram sua missão os museus em geral, e em especial os que se identificarem com o patrimônio do setor elétrico.“Uso e funcionalidade de arquivos empresariais do setor elétrico em São Paulo: o caso Light”, de Marcia Cristina de Carvalho Pazin Vitoriano e Telma Campanha Carvalho Madio (ambas docentes no curso de Arquivologia da UNESP em Marília), discute o destino dos arquivos empresariais do setor elétrico, à luz do importante caso da Light. Inicialmente organizado em função do zelo organizacional da empresa multinacional privada que lhe deu origem, este arquivo foi ampliado após a nacionalização pela estatal Eletropaulo, que estabeleceu um Departamento de Patrimônio Histórico. Após a reprivatização, o arquivo passou aos cuidados da Fundação Energia e Saneamen-to. Durante a execução do Projeto Eletromemória, descobriu-se uma parte importante e desconhe-cida desse arquivo, guardada em condições precárias pela empresa estatal EMAE, criada para cuidar da geração elétrica (usinas) da Eletropaulo, uma vez que a empresa privada AES, que comprou a Eletropaulo, se interessou em ficar apenas com a parte mais lucrativa da empresa, a distribuição de eletricidade aos consumidores.“História da eletrificação no Estado de São Paulo: um vocabulário controlado para a representação e recuperação da informação”, de Vânia Mara Alves Lima e Cristina Hilsdorf Barbanti (respectivamente docente e pós-graduanda de Biblioteconomia na USP), apresenta as diretrizes gerais que estão sendo seguidas para tratamento da informação recolhida pela equipe de pesquisadores do Eletromemória. Os termos entrarão dentro de um mapa conceitual, que servirá de base à construção de um banco de dados relacional do Projeto.“A nacionalização da electricidade em Portugal”, de Nuno Luís Madureira (do ISCTE/IUL Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa / Instituto Universitário de Lisboa) é uma contri-buição deste pesquisador de renome internacional no campo da História Econômica da Energia. Perpassando o período ditatorial salazarista e a transição marcelista, o novo governo democrático português após a Revolução de Abril enfrentou a questão da estatização do setor elétrico. O autor demonstra que esta não foi uma trajetória linear e que a sobreposição de forças sociais e políticas aos fatores técnicos foi um processo complexo, que redundou na criação da empresa única, a EDP.Finalmente, “Fiscalização e eficiência na iluminação pública. A substituição do gás pela eletricidade em Buenos Aires (1890-1910)”, de Diego Bussola (da Universidade de Rosário, na Argentina) faz oportunas considerações sobre o conflito entre duas técnicas de iluminação pública, a gás e a elétrica. Houve países em que as empresas que defendiam essas técnicas se uniram, como em São Paulo, mas em outros países, as empresas concorrentes se digladiaram longamente, impulsionadas por fatores de custo e eficiência, cabendo a palavra final à posição decisória das autoridades municipais. O caso de Buenos Aires lança luz sobre fatores ainda presentes no dia a dia, tais como fixação de tarifas, o comportamento da oferta e demanda de eletricidade nos períodos de pico e vale, a atuação dos trustes elétricos e o papel dos órgãos públicos.Gildo Magalhães dos Santos FilhoUniversidade de São Paulo

Inspired by the work of Molino, we show that the integrability obstruction for transitive Lie algebroids can be made to vanish by adding extra dimensions. In particular, we prove that the Weinstein groupoid of a non-integrable transitive and abelian Lie algebroid is the quotient of a finite-dimensional Lie groupoid. Two constructions as such are given: First, explaining the counterexample to integrability given by Almeida and Molino, we see that it can be generalized to the construction of an “Almeida–Molino” integrable lift when the base manifold is simply connected. On the other hand, we notice that the classical de Rham isomorphism provides a universal integrable algebroid. Using it we construct a “de Rham” integrable lift for any given transitive Abelian Lie algebroid.

Full textAbstract:
The political cost-effectiveness of blame-shifting strategies, which produces incentives for low-quality policy responses and creates a democratic accountability problem, becomes particularly apparent in the context of urban tragedies such as the one involving Wilton Paes de Almeida, a low-income residential building in São Paulo owned by the federal government and occupied by a low-income population. We seek to respond to the question of whether Brazil’s model of federalism requires institutional reform in order to address the blame-shifting problem using the Wilton Paes de Almeida tragedy as a case study. First, we ask to what extent can expect blame-shifting strategies to be ultimately corrected by what we call the “regulation” of Brazilian federalism through litigation. Second, we investigate whether institutional reform risks reducing current levels of democratic accountability by altering a desirable institutional framework, where citizens can turn to more than one level of government to address problems. We conclude that the institutional reform of Brazil’s model of federalism should be on the table.

We construct a basis of pseudoidentities for the semidirect powers of the pseudovariety generated by B2 which leads to the main result, which states that V*(B2) is decidable. Independently, using some suggestions given by J. Almeida in his book "Finite Semigroups and Universal Algebra", we constructed an algorithm to solve the membership problem in V* (B2).

Full textAbstract:
Institutions that frame social work education and prepare future practitioners are firmly rooted in hegemonic philosophies and practices that perpetuate colonization, oppression, and white supremacy. In recognizing that white supremacy is a mechanism of social control, that our current social structure is grounded in liberal-patriarchal capitalism, and that social work conforms to prevailing social norms, we, as social workers, must acknowledge our complicity in perpetuating a white supremacist master narrative (Pewewardy & Almeida, 2014). The white supremacist ideology inherent within Western social work literature, teaching methodologies, and practice strategies only serves to perpetuate an oppressive system. This structure does not envision social workers as agents of change, but rather as essential cogs of the status quo who foster client dependence on a system that is inherently marginalizing. One mechanism for disrupting the white supremacy that has become a master narrative in social work is to create a counter-narrative (Pewewardy & Almeida, 2014). This paper creates a counter-narrative by using the pyramid of white supremacy framework (Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence, 2008; Tuzzolo, 2016) to critique social work and deconstruct post-racial fallacies ascendant within the profession, and re-visualizes ecological systems framework as a mechanism for de-centering whiteness in social work scholarship, practice, and education.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Suicidal ideation among textile factory workers is a major public health concern worldwide and is associated with a higher risk of completed suicide. However, there are limited studies that determined the prevalence and the potential determinants of suicidal ideation in Africa, including Ethiopia. Therefore, this study is aimed at exploring the prevalence of suicidal ideation and associated factors among textile factory workers in Almeda textile factory in Adwa, Ethiopia. Methods. An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from May 3, 2020, to June 16, 2020, at Almeda textile factory in Adwa. A total of 409 workers were identified using a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire using suicidality module of Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0, and logistic regression model was employed. Adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was computed, and statistical significance was declared at p value < 0.05. Result. In this study, the prevalence of suicidal ideation was found to be 8.8% (95% CI: 6.1, 11.5). Working more than 48 hours per week ( AOR = 2.88 , 95% CI: 1.18, 7.04), depression ( AOR = 3.90 , 95% CI: 1.60, 9.50), work-related physical injury ( AOR = 5.95 , 95% CI: 2.37, 14.94), and interpersonal conflict ( AOR = 3.54 , 95% CI: 1.40, 8.90) were the significant factors associated with suicidal ideation. Conclusion and Recommendation. In this study, suicidal ideation among Almeda textile production workers was a significant problem. Factors including depression, work-related exposure to physical injury, long working hour, and interpersonal conflict can enlarge suicidal ideation.

AbstractThe rôle of astronomy in the Brazilian cultural diversity –though little known world– has been enormous. Thus, the different forms of popular music and erudite, find musical compositions and lyrics inspired by the stars, the eclipses in rare phenomena such as the transit of Venus in front of the sun in 1882, the appearance of Halley's Comet in 1910, in the Big Bang theory. Even in the carnival parades of the blocks at the beginning of the century astronomy was present. More recently, the parade of 1997, the samba school Unidos do Viradouro, under the direction of Joãozinho Trinta, offered a new picture of the first moments of the creation of the universe to join in the white and dark in the components of their school, the idea of matter and anti-matter that reigned in the early moments of the creation of the universe in an explosion of joy. Examples in classical music include Dawn of Carlos Gomes and Carta Celeste by Almeida Prado. Unlike The Planets by Gustav Holst –who between 1914 and 1916 composed a symphonical tribute to the solar system based on astrology– Almeida Prado composed a symphony that is not limited to the world of planets, penetrating the deep cosmos of galaxies.

Full textAbstract:
Mechanical internal short circuit (ISC) is one of the significant safety issues in lithium-ion battery design. As a result, it is possible to subject LIB cells to thorough mechanical abuse tests to determine when and why failure may occur. The indentation test is a recommended loading condition for evaluating mechanical damage and ISC. In this study, 18,650 cylindrical battery cells underwent indentation tests and a voltage reduction following the peak force identified by the ISC. Due to the complexity of the contact surface shape between two cylinders (LIB cell and indenter), a new phenomenological analytical model is proposed to measure the projected contact area, which the FEM model confirms. Moreover, the stress-strain curve and Young’s modulus reduction were calculated from the load-depth data. In contrast to previously published models, the model developed in this paper assumes anisotropic hyperelasticity (the transversely isotropic case) and predicts the growing load-carrying capacity (scalar damage), whose variation is regulated by the Caputo-Almeida fractional derivative.

The Eugénio de Almeida Foundation’s Casa de Fresco is a historical monument of valuable historic–artistic significance, which currently reveals an assortment of biofilms due to the proliferation of microorganisms in the stone and rocaille elements. The biodeterioration in this area was studied as part of the Conservation and Restoration Project. We effectively characterized the local microbial community using modern high-throughput DNA analysis. Our results suggested the existence of a variety of lichens or lichenized fungi, including genera such as Variospora, Verrucaria, Circinaria, and Caloplaca. Furthermore, we detected several prokaryote microorganisms related to the identification of these lichens. To properly deal with this microbiological issue and avoid fungal recolonization, we evaluated available commercial antimicrobial treatments.

ABSTRACT Aim This study aims at evaluating the interexaminer agreement between radiographic and tomographic methods to determine condyle morphological variations and positioning. Materials and methods The sample comprised 100 individuals aged 13 to 30 years, from the patient files of University of North Paraná. The assessment of condyles morphology and positioning was performed in images of digital panoramic radiography (DPR) and reconstructed panoramic images from the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, by using the Dolphin three-dimensional (3D) program. The condyle morphology was categorized as flat, convex, and angular as well as its positioning classified into anterior, posterior, and concentric. Three calibrated examiners performed this subjective evaluation. After that, another examiner performed an objective assessment of the condyles positioning using tomographic sagittal scans of the condyles, applying the same 3D program. This objective evaluation of the condyle position, considered the gold standard (GS), was achieved by using a formula based on the measurement values of the joint spaces, anterior and posterior. The kappa test was used to assess the interexaminer agreement in determining the condyles morphology and positioning, as well as between the condyle positioning results determined by the examiners and the GS. Results The results showed poor agreement among examiners and between the subjective and objective condyle positioning evaluation. Conclusion It was concluded that the panoramic radiography (PR), either digitalized or reconstructed from CBCT scans, is not suitable for determining variations in condyle morphology and position. Clinical significance Whenever it is necessary to evaluate the mandibular condyle during the orthodontic screening, the orthodontist should consider another image modality better than the PR.

O experimento foi conduzido em Piracicaba, SP, numa área cultivada com grama batatais (Paspalum notatum Flügge) no período de 11 a 25/06/2000. Avaliou-se a exatidão das estimativas de ETo com base no índice de concordância de Willmott (1981) (d) e no erro padrão de estimativa (EPE) e sua precisão pelo coeficiente de determinação (r²) da regressão linear entre ETo estimada e medida. O desempenho foi avaliado por meio do índice de confiança (c = d x r) de Camargo e Sentelhas (1997). As médias das estimativas de ETo pelo BERB e por PM não apresentaram diferenças estatísticas significativas (ANOVA, p < 0,05) em relação as médias de ETo medida no lisímetro. O método de PM mostrou exatidão (d = 0,99 e EPE = 0,09 mm d-1) e precisão (r² = 0,95) superior ao BERB (d = 0,92, EPE = 0,15 mm d-1 e r² = 0,86). Contudo, o desempenho para os dois métodos BERB (c = 0,85) e PM (c = 0,97) foi superior a 0,85, ou seja, classificado como ótimo pelo índice c.

The experiment was carried out in Piracicaba-SP, in an area cultivated with Bahia grass (Paspalum notatumFlügge) from June 11th to 25th, 2000. ETo estimation accuracy was evaluated based on the Willmott agreement index (d) and on the standard error estimation (SEE), and its precision through the determination coefficient (r²) of the linear regression between estimated and measured ETo. The performance was evaluated using the confidence index (c = d x r) of Camargo and Sentelhas. The means of ETo estimates through BREB and PM did not show significant statistical differences (ANOVA p < 0.05) compared with the means of ETo measured in the lysimeter. The PM method showed higher agreement (d = 0.99 and SEE = 0.09 mm d-1) and precision (r² = 0.95) compared with BREB (d = 0.92, SEE = 0.15 mm d-1 and r² = 0.86). However, the performances of both BREB (c = 0.85) and PM (c = 0.97) methods were above 0.85, which is considered optimal according to the index c.

Full textAbstract:
Remote sensing is emerging as an important method of information extraction in the field of lithology identification as a technology that can provide a cost-effective way of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area. This paper uses remote sensing techniques for lithology identification in Almeria, discusses the flaws and applicability of remote sensing techniques, and proposes a combined remote sensing approach. The lithological results identified by remote sensing indicate that northern Almeria is dominated by metamorphic and carbonate rock and the southern part is predominantly mafic rocks and felsi rocks. The identification results in Almeria from remote sensing imagery synthesised using Landsat-8 multiple band sets differ from actual lithology distribution. It shows the limitations of remote sensing techniques for lithology identification. Based on the limitations of remote sensing techniques demonstrated in the case study, this paper discusses how remote sensing improves the identification and analysis of lithology in other research cases by means of technical improvements combined with other techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Within a context in which temperatures are increasing due to global warming, it is important to assess the capacity of buildings, old and modern, to respond to this new situation. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of understanding more about the thermal properties of traditional constructions. This study quantifies the impact of the high summer temperatures typical of the Mediterranean climate on traditional farmhouses in Eastern Almería (Spain). The study group of farmhouses was divided into three models representative of the different types of Eastern Almería vernacular architecture. Energy consumption in the three models was simulated using EnergyPlus. The three models were assessed in free-floating conditions. The window-to-wall ratio and U-factor values were studied in order to evaluate potential benefits in terms of energy efficiency. Outdoor and indoor temperatures were compared. Finally, an adaptive thermal comfort analysis was performed according to ASHRAE 55. Results highlight the ability of Eastern Almería farmhouses to mitigate extreme temperatures.

Full textAbstract:
Global energy consumption has increased the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), these being the main cause of global warming. Within renewable energies, bioenergy has undergone a great development in recent years. This is due to its carbon neutral balance and the fact that bioenergy can be obtained from a range of biomass resources, including residues from forestry, agricultural or livestock industries, the rapid rotation of forest plantations, the development of energy crops, organic matter from urban solid waste, and other sources of organic waste from agro-food industries. Processing factories that use loquats to make products such as liqueurs and jams generate large amounts of waste mainly in the form of skin and stones or seeds. These wastes are disposed of and sent to landfills without making environmentally sustainable use of them. The University of Almeria Sports Centre is made up of indoor spaces in which different sports can be practiced: sports centre pavilion (central court and two lateral courts), rocodrome, fitness room, cycle inner room, and indoor swimming pool. At present, the indoor swimming pool of the University of Almeria (UAL) has two fuel oil boilers, with a nominal power of 267 kW. The main objective of this study is to propose an energetic analysis to determine, on the one hand, the energetic properties of the loquat seed and, on the other hand, to evaluate its suitability to be used as a solid biofuel to feed the boilers of the heated swimming pool of the University of Almeria (Spain), highlighting the significant energy and environmental savings obtained. Results show that the higher calorific value of loquat seed (17.205 MJ/kg), is like other industrial wastes such as wheat straw, or pistachio shell, which demonstrates the energy potential of this residual biomass. In addition, the change of the fuel oil boiler to a biomass (loquat seed) boiler in the UAL’s indoor swimming pool means a reduction of 147,973.8 kg of CO2 in emissions into the atmosphere and an annual saving of 35,739.5 €, which means a saving of 72.78% with respect to the previous fuel oil installation. A sensitivity analysis shows that fuel cost of base case is the variable with the most sensitivity changing the initial cost and net present value (NPV).

Full textAbstract:
A possible way to provide oral and written English practice by using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is through telecollaborative activities (SCHAEFER; HEEMANN, 2019). O’Dowd (2013) defines telecollaboration as the use of online technologies in the context of language teaching and learning with students who are geographically dispersed. Another possibility to favor the practice of English using ICTs is through digital stories, understood as the inclusion of multiple digital resources in storytelling (CASTAÑEDA, 2013). Drawing on scholars such as Brammerts (1996, 2003), Lambert (2006, 2007), Almeida (2014), O’Dowd (2012, 2013), Tumolo (2015) and Schaefer (2019), this study aims at presenting a theoretical-methodological proposal, which involves the use of ICTs, for English classes in Brazilian educational institutions. On the basis of the presentation of our theoretical-methodological proposal, we suggest that activities that utilize ICTs have the potential to produce challenges that may lead to language learning, student motivation, collaborative work and reflection.

Some pancake and spherical type ionization chambers of various size have been designed and fabricated for absolute air kerma measurement in 60Co and 137Cs ?-ray fields at the Primary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (PSDL), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science & Technology (AIST), Tsukuba, Japan. Values of recombination parameters A and m2g of these ionization chambers are obtained using a method proposed by De Almeida and Niatel and adopted by Boutillon. For absolute air kerma measurement, it is important to obtain accurate signal currents by correcting it for ion losses using the values of A and m2g of each of the ionization chambers. It has been observed from the measurements that the recombination parameters for pancake ionization chamber are smaller than spherical ionization chambers and for spherical type ionization chamber recombination parameter values depend on the dimensions of the electrodes and also the size of the chambers.

Full textAbstract:
The present paper aims to verify whether the most financially restricted companies use their cash flow for investment or for cash holdings. To this end, the cash flow sensitivity of investment as well as the cash flow sensitivity of cash for Brazilian publicly traded companies through the Threshold method is tested, given its classification in restricted and unrestricted companies. In this context, the models of Fazzari, Hubbard and Petersen (1984) and Almeida, Campello and Weisbach (2004) were applied, using as structural breaks the Dividends Paid, Total Assets, Z-score and KZ-index. The result of the analysis was not clear in relation to which behavior is predominant in Brazilian companies. Using the Total Asset as a Threshold, the model that was most representative was the one referring to investments in capital goods. But, considering the Z-score as a Threshold, the most representative model indicates that companies use more Cash Flow results for cash holdings. Dividends and KZ-index were not significant in the analysis.

One of the greatest difficulties in teaching chemistry is the decontextualized form the content is taught in the classroom. This study aims to use contextualization as a pedagogical tool, presenting different approaches to teaching chemistry by using organic functions applied to pharmaceutical drugs and alerting students about the risks of self-medication, as well as underlining precautions that should be taken when consuming medication. The project was carried out at the Maria Almeida do Nascimento State School, in Coari, Amazonas – Brazil, with high school seniors. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods carried out in six steps: I Application of initial questionnaire; II expository lectures and discussions of clinical cases; III experimentation; IV lecture explaining reactions; V learning assessment; VI application of final questionnaire. Results showed a positive effect on content comprehension. This research demonstrates the importance of contextualizing academic subjects in teaching chemistry and using different methodologies to build scientific and social knowledge. Additionally, it helped bring awareness to the practice of selfmedication.

Full textAbstract:
Spatial memory has been studied through different instruments and tools with different modalities of administration. The cognitive load varies depending on the measure used and it should be taken into account to correctly interpret results. The aim of this research was to analyze how men and women perform three different spatial memory tasks with the same spatial context but with different cognitive demands. A total of 287 undergraduate students from the University of Almeria (Spain) and the University of L’Aquila (Italy) participated in the study. They were divided into three groups balanced by sex according to the spatial memory test they performed: the Walking Space Boxes Room Task (WSBRT), the Almeria Spatial Memory Recognition Test (ASMRT) and the Non-Walking Space Boxes Room Task (NWSBRT). Time spent and number of errors/correct answers were registered for analysis. In relation to the WSBRT and the ASMRT, men were faster and reached the optimal level of performance before women. In the three tests, familiarity with the spatial context helped to reduce the number of errors, regardless of the level of difficulty. In conclusion, sex differences were determined by the familiarity with the spatial context, the difficulty level of the task, the active or passive role of the participant and the amount of visual information provided in each screen shot.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is motivated by the work of Schützenberger on codes with bounded synchronization delay. He was interested in characterizing those regular languages where groups in the syntactic monoid belong to a variety [Formula: see text]. On the language side he allowed the operations union, intersection, concatenation and modified Kleene-star involving a mapping of a prefix code of bounded synchronization delay to a group [Formula: see text], but no complementation. In our notation, this leads to the language classes [Formula: see text]. Our main result shows that [Formula: see text] coincides with the class of languages having syntactic monoids where all subgroups are in [Formula: see text]. We show that this statement holds for all varieties [Formula: see text] of finite groups, whereas Schützenberger proved this result for varieties [Formula: see text] containing Abelian groups, only. Our method shows the result for all [Formula: see text] simultaneously on finite and infinite words. Furthermore, we introduce the notion of local Rees extension which refers to a restricted type of the classical Rees extension. We give a decomposition of a monoid in terms of its groups and local Rees extensions. This gives a somewhat similar, but simpler decomposition than in the synthesis theorem of Rhodes and Allen. Moreover, we need a singly exponential number of operations, only. Finally, our decomposition yields an answer to a question in a recent paper of Almeida and Klíma about varieties that are closed under Rees extensions.

ABSTRACT Aim The objective of this study was to evaluate the anterior teeth position changes obtained by passive self-ligating brackets using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and methods Twenty patients with a mean age of 16.5 years, class I malocclusion, constricted maxillary arch, and teeth crowding above 5 mm were enrolled in this study, and treated by passive orthodontic self-ligating brackets. A sequence of stainless steel thermoset wire was implemented with ending wire of 0.019” × 0.025”. The CBCT and dental casts were obtained prior to the installation of orthodontic appliances (T1), and 30 days after rectangular steel wire 0.019” × 0.025” installation (T2). The measurements in CBCT were performed with the Anatomage software, and the dental casts were evaluated with a digital caliper rule with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Results The CBCT data demonstrated mean buccal inclination of the upper and lower central incisors ranging from 6.55° to 7.24° respectively. The upper and lower lateral incisors ranged from 4.90° to 8.72° respectively. The lower canines showed an average increase of 3.88° in the buccal inclination and 1.96 mm in the transverse intercuspal distance. The upper canines showed a negative inclination with mean average of −0.36°, and an average increase of 0.82 mm in the transverse distance, with negative correlation with the initial crowding. Conclusion Treatment with passive self-ligating brackets without obtaining spaces increases buccal inclination of the upper and lower incisors with no correlation with the amount of initial teeth crowding. The intercanine distance tends to a small increase showing different inclinations between the arches. Clinical significance When taking into account the selfligating brackets, the amount of initial dental crowding is not a limitation factor that could increase the buccal inclination of the anterior teeth.

Full textAbstract:
The article summarizes the results of the operation of the two solar power plants of the SSPS project (Small Solar Power Systems) at Almeria, carried out within the framework of the International Energy Agency. The two power plants were built side by side in order to compare two thermal-electric techniques, one being a distributed collector system (DCS) with arrays of parabolic troughs and the other a central receiver system (CRS) with heliostats concentrating the sunlight onto the top of a tower. Each plant was constructed with a nominal capacity of 500 kWel and was expected to have a net yearly output on the order of 1 GWh.—Only the DCS plant was in operation sufficiently to enable an assessment of possible annual production of electricity. Through extrapolation one finds that the gross output of the built plant was maximal 0.25 GWh with an overall efficiency of 2.3 percent for a plant with 100 percent availability and no malfunctions. Internal electricity consumption correspondingly calculated amounts to 0.11 GWh resulting in only 0.14 GWh yearly net output. Using the experimental values from the CRS plant, it appears that its yearly gross output could have been similar to that of the DCS plant but at higher internal electricity consumption, particularly due to the trace heating of the heat transfer medium (sodium).—The technical reasons for the poor efficiency of the SSPS installation were largely that the solar climate was less favorable then assumed, dirt accumulated on the mirrors at a more rapid rate than foreseen, the nonsolar specific components were badly matched and yielded low efficiencies, and thermal inertia was crucial and almost overlooked in the planning stage.—A detailed loss analysis is presented in the article.

Full textAbstract:
The topographic slope method is an innovative, fast and very low-cost technique for estimating the average S-wave velocity in the upper 30 m (Vs30) based on the relationship between this quantity and the slope of the ground, obtained using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The method is based on the good linear correlations log(Vs30)–log(slope) found experimentally, which, ideally, should be determined for each region. If measured Vs30 data are not available to carry out this fitting for the study area, correlations from other areas could be used, although the reliability of the estimated Vs30 results would be lower. In this article, Vs30 observations are made for the city of Almeria, using Spatial Autocorrelation Surveys (SPAC) and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW), obtaining two types of fitting: (a) linear relationship log(Vs30)–log(slope); and (b) considering additional dependence on geological units. The reliability, evaluated by Multiple R-Squared (MRS), varies between 79.2% in the first case and 87.0% in the second, lowering the mean absolute values of the residuals at the observation points in the first case from 40.0 m/s to 29.0 m/s. Using a more generic correlation obtained for other areas of the world, the mean absolute residuals increase to 74.7 m/s.

Full textAbstract:
Chironji (Buchanania cochinchinensis) is an indigenous tree species of Indian subcontinent which belongs to the Anacardiaceae family. It has tremendous potential to uplift the socio-economic status of village dwellers and tribal people. It is used for various purposes including fruits, fuel, fodder and medicines. The species is facing severe ecological and anthropogenic pressures due to indiscriminate harvesting and illicit felling. IUCN has designated Chironji as a vulnerable species indicating that it may be on the verge of extinction if proper conservation measures are not taken very soon. The reports on its conservation and genetic improvement are very less. Hence, it is needed to devise the strategies to conserve its germplasm and genetically improve the species for higher fruit yield. The genetic diversity present in the species is also needed to be studied for effective conservation. Eco-distribution mapping and Molecular characterization using modern tools like molecular markers can give an accurate idea about the genetic diversity in lesser time and will also help in devising the breeding strategies and conservation of its diverse genotype. This review encompasses the researches done on Chironji till date detailing the importance of its genetic diversity and tries to indicate the future conservation and improvement strategies to be taken to fill up the remaining gaps.

However, farmers’ knowledge and acceptance of microalgae-derived applications remain unknown, which is a major barrier to its commercialization. This study explores current farmers’ knowledge and acceptance of microalgae in Almería horticulture. Results revealed that there exists a significant lack of knowledge regarding the use of microalgae agricultural-based applications. Over sixty percent of farmers indicated that microalgae can have beneficial uses in agriculture, such as biostimulants or biofertilizers. However, although seventy percent of farmers expressed their willingness to use them, results also showed that only 32% of farmers using microalgae-derived applications have obtained satisfactory results. We call the urgent need for new communication strategies based on transdisciplinary approaches that increase farmers’ knowledge around the multiple microalgae-derived products and applications in agriculture.

This article aims to analyze the progress of Rural Education as a public policy, access to technological development, and the use of its resources in teaching and learning in Rural High Schools located in agrarian reform settlements in the state of Ceará. It is based on documentary research data and theoretical foundations supported by Diniz (2019), Caldart (2004), Almeida (2005/2006), Santos (2016), Molina (2006), Freire (2015/2019), among others. In the first part of this work, we will focus on the historical context of Rural Education. Subsequently, we will present the concept of Rural Education and highlight the differences that exist between Rural Education and other forms of education. Emphasizing these differences is important for understanding the significant role that the rural movement plays in the protagonism of Rural Education for the rural population. In the second part, we will discuss how technological resources are integrated into Education as a pedagogy. In the third part, we will present the challenges of using technological resources in Rural Schools located in agrarian reform settlements. Considering this entire process, we can highlight that the teaching and learning processes, through the integration of technology, are part of the school curriculum, but there are limitations and lack of investments that go beyond the power of the Rural School.

O trabalho teve como objetivo estudar impactos quantitativos na produção de frutos, em função do aumento da concentração salina no solo. Desta forma as concentrações de sais foram alteradas a partir da variação do fornecimento de KCl e Ca2NO3. Com esta variação, obtiveram-se valores elevados de condutividade elétrica no solo (CE), tomando-se a CE observada na fertirrigação tradicional, como controle (1,5 dS m-1). Além disso, verificou-se a possibilidade de atenuação do estresse salino com a aplicação de matéria orgânica no solo. Observou-se que os níveis de CE mantidos na cultura correlacionaram-se inversamente ao índice de pegamento e peso médio de frutos, sendo que para o tratamento mais severo aplicado (6,0 dS m-1) os frutos apresentaram redução de até 58% em peso médio e 55% em número de frutos por planta, comparado ao tratamento controle. Baseado nesses resultados demonstrou-se que a variação da CE na solução do solo interferiu drasticamente nos parâmetros de produção avaliados.

PRODUCTION OF FRUITS OF BELL PEPPER IN DIFFERENT SALINE CONCENTRATIONS. 2 ABSTRACT An experiment with an Elisa hybrid sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) crop using fertirrigation system was carried out in greenhouse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quantitative effects of an increasing soil saline concentration on the production. The saline concentration was changed by the variation of the KCl and Ca2NO3 concentration in order to obtain high soil electrical conductivity (EC) values. Standard fertigation system (1.5 dS m-1) values were used as control parameters. Besides that, the possibility of saline stress attenuation by applying organic material into the soil was studied. It was observed that the EC levels used in the crop were inversely correlated to the fructification index and the fruit mean weight. Under the most severe treatment (6.0 dS m-1) the fruit mean weight was reduced up to 58 % and the mean produced fruit number per plant was also reduced up to 55 %, when compared to the obtained results under controlled conditions. These results demonstrated that the EC variation in the soil solution had strong interference on the production parameters selected for the studies.

AbstractAdult Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) were tested with imidacloprid in a bioassay method using systemically treated cotton leaves. The method was simple, robust and repeatable and provided baseline data for a laboratory and a number of recently collected field strains. The LC50 for imidacloprid susceptible strains was calculated to be 1.7 ppm and a concentration of 16 ppm determined as diagnostic for imidacloprid resistance. Ten strains of B. tabaci collected from the Almeria region of Spain showed significantly less mortality at the diagnostic dose than the susceptible strains. The intensive use of imidacloprid in the Almeria region is considered the reason for the occurrence of resistance in this locality. Resistance to organophosphates, pyrethroids and endosulfan in B-type and non-B type B. tabaci did not confer resistance to imidacloprid.

For this study, I have selected a corpus of history texts from the Modern English period (1700-1900), as compiled in The Corpus of History English Texts (Crespo and Moskowich 2015), on the basis of which the two evidential adverbs are examined using computer corpus tools, although manual inspection is also employed to assess the meaning of the items in context. The findings suggest that, in this type of scientific articles, the two adverbs are used with differing pragmatic functions, in the case of certainly it functions mostly as a booster and, in the specific case of generally, its use seems to primarily suggest a hedging purpose (Hyland 2005a).

The present study concern on mycologic and immunochemical data obtained from two samples of a fungus considered as belonging to the species Paracoccidioides cerebriformis described by Moore in 1935, and maintained since then on Sabouraud’s agar in the mycology collection of the Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo. After 60 years, the samples exhibited the same characteristics described by Moore (1935). However, experimental lesions did not resulted in guinea-pigs inoculated intratesticularly. The dominant antigen in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, 43 kDa glicoprotein (gp43), could not be demonstrated by SDS PAGE and Western blotting. Immunoelectrophoresis did not demonstrated the E arch of cathodic migration using a policlonal anti gp43 serum. According to these findings, it is concluded that the fungus described by Moore (1935) as P. cerebriformis does not belong to the genus Paracoccidioides. Paracoccidioidomycosis should therefore be considered as resulting from infection by a single species, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (Splendore, 1912) as asserted by Almeida (1930). Further studies, through molecular biology methods, could identify the mentioned fungus

Full textAbstract:
Field research and predictive modelling of global warming and desertification by environmental scientists in the Mediterranean has concentrated on the short term. In this paper, it is argued that collaboration between the historical sciences, especially archaeology, and the environmental sciences can provide a longer-term perspective on desertification in the Mediterranean. Such collaboration has taken place recently in the Vera basin (Almería, south-east Spain), with the financial support of the European Union. Details of the archaeological and historical sequences of occupation in the basin are given, before presenting the main trends in demography, settlement and political systems from 4000 BC until the present day. This is followed by details of the long-term record of degradation in the Vera basin. The paper concludes by using the long-term record to propose recommendations for the future management of this landscape.

The present study aimed to investigate the exploitation of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) for the in-situ production of anti-wear TiC-based surface layers onto steel substrates. For this purpose, “solar” experiments were carried out at the installations of Plataforma Solar de Almería (Spain). TiC powder was pre-deposited onto carbon steel substrates that have been subsequently exposed to concentrated solar irradiation for various dwell time values. The temperature field developed at the specimens’ surface during solar exposure was recorded in real-time by the aid of an optical pyrometer. Microscopic observations revealed the characteristic microstructure features of the hardfacing surface layers obtained and preliminary dry sliding tests performed in a pin-on-disc apparatus, allowed to estimate their machinability using conventional cutting tools.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Under the framework of the modern theory of restoration, this paper shows the experimental results obtained during the structural diagnosis of one of the most important master gates inside the military modern complex of Almeida in Portugal: the inner master gate of Saint Antonio. This master gate was conceived with the aim of supporting the siege of an early modern army, using to this end a masonry framework filled by a natural soil able to absorb the impacts. However, this infill is promoting the disaggregation of the masonry and thus the reduction of its bearing capacity. In order to evaluate the current and future structural behaviour, it is proposed a method able to combine the terrestrial laser scanner with the limit analysis for masonry constructions. The results obtained by this combination shows that the major barrel vault has, in its current conservation state, enough bearing capacity to support an agglomeration of people. However, it is recommended a material restitution in order to recover the contact are between masonry blocks as well as to recover the architectural interpretation of the element.</p>

In September 2012, a novel disease syndrome was observed in zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) crops in Murcia Province (southeastern Spain). Symptoms included curling, vein swelling, and severe mosaic in young leaves, short internodes, and fruit skin roughness, resembling begomovirus infection. Similar symptoms were observed in May 2013 in Almería Province (southern Spain). DNA was isolated from 8 and 7 symptomatic leaf samples collected in Murcia and Almería, respectively, and analyzed by PCR with primers GemCP-V-5′ and GemCP-C-3′ designed to detect begomoviruses by amplifying the core of coat protein gene (CP) (3). DNA fragments of the expected size (~600 bp) were amplified supporting a begomovirus infection. The DNA sequences obtained from four samples were identical. BLAST analysis showed the highest nucleotide identity (98%) with partial CP gene sequences from isolates of Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) infecting cucumber in India (GenBank Accession No. KC846817). ToLCNDV, a bipartite begomovirus first reported from tomato, also infects other solanaceous and cucurbitaceous crops in India and neighboring countries (1). DNA from two samples from Murcia and three from Almería was used for rolling-circle amplification using ϕ29 DNA polymerase (TempliPhi kit, GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, UK) and digested with a set of restriction endonucleases. All five samples yielded amplification products with identical restriction patterns. Two samples from Murcia (MU-8.1 and MU-11.1) and one from Almería (AL-661) were selected to clone the putative DNA-A and DNA-B begomovirus genome components by using single BamHI or NcoI sites. Inserts of two clones from each sample, one corresponding to DNA-A and one to DNA-B, were completely sequenced. The cloned genomes exhibited the typical organization of Old World bipartite begomoviruses (1). Sequences were aligned with begomovirus sequences available in databases using MUSCLE and pairwise identity scores were calculated with SDT (species demarcation tool [4]). DNA-A sequences obtained from Murcia (2,738 nt, KF749224 and KF749225) and Almería (2,738 nt, KF749223) shared >99% nucleotide identity, with the highest nucleotide identity (91.3 to 91.5%) with that of an Indian ToLCNDV isolate from chilli (HM007120). DNA-B sequences (2,684 nt, KF749226, KF749227, and KF749228) shared >99% nucleotide identity, and showed the highest nucleotide identity (83.1 to 83.3%) with that of a Pakistani ToLCNDV isolate from Solanum nigrum (AJ620188). Nucleotide sequence identity of DNA-A with the most closely related begomoviruses was above the 91% threshold for species demarcation (2), thus confirming that the begomoviruses found infecting zucchini in Spain are isolates of ToLCNDV. In fall 2013, the disease was widespread in zucchini both in Murcia and Almería, and ToLCNDV has also been found infecting melon and cucumber crops. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a bipartite begomovirus in Spain and Europe. References: (1) J. K. Brown et al. Page 351 in: Virus Taxonomy. Ninth Report of the ICTV. A. M. Q.

Abstract A valuable tool for external quality control that provides opportunity to improve analytical skills and techniques in the field of radioactivity measurements is participation in proficiency tests (PTs). In this work obtained results from the gamma spectrometry intercomparison for 15 laboratories conducted in May 1986 immediately after the Chernobyl accident for the lucerne sample contaminated with fission products: 140Ba, 141Ce, 144Ce, 134Cs, 137Cs, 131I, 103Ru, 106Ru, 95Zr, are evaluated following the recommendations of the international standard ISO 13528:2005. Environmental radioactivity proficiency tests organized by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are designed to identify analytical problems, to help members states to maintain their accreditation and to provide knowledge and technology transfer in this area. The Analytical Laboratories for the Measurement of Environmental Radioactivity (ALMERA) is a world-wide network of analytical laboratories capable to analyzed radioactivity contents, coordinated by IAEA. Institute for the Application of Nuclear Energy (INEP), University of Belgrade, is an official member since 2013. Annual PTs are organized by ALMERA for the network laboratories using sets of different samples. Based on the PT proposition each result should pass accuracy and precision test to be awarded the status ‘Accepted’, otherwise it lies on the status ‘Warning’ or ‘Not Accepted’. INEP was participated in three worldwide open (in 2006, 2007 and 2011) and six (in a period 2012–2016) PTs organized by IAEA and ALMERA. Radionuclide activity concentrations in different environmental matrices were measured using gamma-ray spectrometer with high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. In IAEA worldwide open PTs among 61 results, 74 % were ‘Accepted’ and 26 % were ‘Not Accepted’. In ALMERA network PTs among 70 results, 84.3 % were ‘Accepted’, 4.3 % were ‘Warning’, 11.4 % were ‘Not Accepted’. PT exercises are the best way to identify gaps and problems areas where further development is needed.

The purpose of this study was to present an analysis of consumer attitudes towards the brand and its purchase intentions, as well as to explore the relationships between brand image, brand tradition, company image and beliefs regarding the brand’s role in society. As a research of a descriptive nature, it was decided to approach the research problem quantitatively through the application of a survey. The questionnaires were applied to university students from private institutions of the Business Administration course in Brazil, Spain, Mexico and Paraguay in the period of May and June 2016. The marketing scale presented by Vieira (2011) was used and validated by Pereira, Almeida and Laux (2006). Data processing for presentation and analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. The results demonstrated relevant information about consumers' attitudes towards the brand and their purchase intentions. It became evident that companies can develop marketing strategies at different levels of intensity for each of the categories analyzed and, from them, establish marketing strategies with greater criteria and objectivity in their strategies of positioning.

Full textAbstract:
Kudzu (Pueraria montana [Lour.] Merr. var. lobata [Willd.] Maesen & S.M. Almeida ex Sanjappa & Predeep) is an invasive woody vine widespread throughout much of the southeastern United States. New occurrences and recent studies using climatic parameters suggest that the Midwestern region of the United States is at the greatest risk of kudzu invasion. As there are already multiple reports of kudzu within the Great Lakes basin and no previous landscape models exist specifically for the basin, we developed probability models from existing spatial data (forest type, geology, land cover, precipitation, temperature, and known kudzu locations) by using maximum entropy methods at the national, regional, and basin scales. All three models had relatively high accuracy and strong positive correlation between predicted and observed values. Based on evaluation of the models using a testing data set, we determined a presence threshold and categorized areas within each model as suitable or unsuitable habitat. We pooled the models and calculated mean habitat suitability within the Great Lakes basin. Much of the southern half of the basin was suitable for kudzu. Continuing management and further monitoring of kudzu spread are likely necessary to limit further introduction and mitigate spread of kudzu within the Great Lakes region.
