Mathematical Modelling and Performance Analysis of Flat Plate Solar Dryer- CFD Simulation Approach
Authors: Desisa Debela Geneti
Published: January 2021

This study focuses on the investigation of enhancing convective heat transfer between the absorber and the air inside a channel. The investigation approaches modeling different absorber through CFD simulation and validating the result with experimental data. Supplying air to both sides of the top and the bottom surfaces of the absorber increase the air mass flow rate and therefore increases the thermal efficiency of the dryer. The studies in a V-grooved absorber attain high hot air velocity; high thermal efficiency resulted from high turbulence created in the duct. For the sample taken with a flow range, 0.01kg/s to 0.06 kg/s, the high output temperature was observed in a lower temperature range and increases as the flow rate increases. At a flow rate 0.01 kg/s, the velocity of hot air passing over the V-grooved absorber attain 0.28 m/s and increased to 1.4 m/s as the mass flow rate increased to 0.06 kg/s. For the rectangular absorber, the velocity of hot air attains 0.15 m/s at a flow rate of 0.01 kg/s and increased to 1.46 m/s as the mass flow rate increases to 0.06 kg/s. The double-sided V-grooved absorber contributes 8 – 12.40% value more efficiency compared to the rectangular plate with the same flow orientation. Further investigation is recommended taking the quantitative analysis obtained in this study and generating qualitative data.

Bayesian Nonparametric State-Space Model for System Identification with Distinguishable Multimodal Dynamics
Authors: Park Young-Jin , Park Soon-Seo , Choi Han-Lim
Published: January 2021

The goal of system identification is to learn about underlying physics dynamics behind the time-series data. To model the probabilistic and nonparametric dynamics, Gaussian process (GP) has been widely used; GP can estimate the uncertainty of prediction. Traditional GP state-space models, however, are based on the Gaussian transition model, and thus they often have difficulty in describing more complex transition models, e.g., aircraft motions. To resolve the challenge, this paper proposes a framework using multiple GP transition models that is capable of describing multimodal dynamics. Furthermore, the model is extended to an information-theoretic framework, the so-called InfoSSM, by introducing a mutual information regularizer helping the model to learn interpretable and distinguishable multiple dynamics models. Two illustrative numerical experiments in a simple Dubins vehicle and high-fidelity flight simulator are presented to demonstrate the performance and interpretability of the proposed model. Finally, this paper further provides a use case of InfoSSM with Bayesian filtering for air traffic control tracking.
Pedro de Obregón y la miniatura toledana a mediados del siglo xvii
Authors:   Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (España), Moraleda Moraleda Jaime
Published: January 2021

Throughout the sixteenth century the Cathedral of Toledo continued its patronage program related to commission of illuminated manuscripts for its liturgical ceremonies. The Missal Rico de Cisneros, which marked the beginning of the century under the aesthetics of the School of Ghent and Bruges, opened the way to the incorporation of the all’antica repertoires developed in the last quarter of the century, under the multiple variants of the grutesco and the new Renaissance compositions. The seventeenth century began with the latest works for the Cardinal Quiroga’s Missal, in which Juan de Salazar worked as the main illuminator, influenced by Mannerist aesthetics; although, we soon noticed a lower production of illuminated manuscripts, with large periods without works. The documentary investigation reveals the presence of the painter Pedro de Obregón, born in Madrid, as one of the last miniaturists in the service of the primated cathedral, whose work presents the main characteristics of the Baroque style, as well as a progressive decline of miniature works.

Published: January 2021

As a predictive indicator of tissue viability in multiple muscle lesions used the percentage of high-, medium- and low amplitude contracting reactions (СR) or their absence, recorded by stimulation impedance myography contraction (SIMC). After examining the boundaries of the scattering of amp-omic muscle curves of the limbs, the patients determined the distribution of maximum contractile reactions (MSRs) by the angles of tilt curves in the coordinate plane. After examining the boundaries of the scattering of amp-omic muscle curves of the limbs, the patients determined the distribution of maximum contractile reactions (MCRs) by the angles of tilt curves in the coordinate plane. Average sectoral values of MSR were distributed in reverse dependence of amplitudes on the amount of stimulus in the form of hyperbole containing high-, medium-, and low-amplitude MSD, the percentage of which were based on the profiles of histograms of patients with known clinical diagnoses. Comparison of histogram profiles of different stages of chronic ischemic syndrome among themselves showed their high distinguishing ability and correlation of histograms with diagnoses.

There are several factors that are very influential in language, namely human cleverness in speaking skills, Maharah al-Kalam is the ability to express articulated sounds or words to express thoughts in the form of ideas, opinions, desires, or feelings to the interlocutor. In a broader sense, speaking is a system of signs that can be heard and seen which utilizes a number of muscles and muscle tissues of the human body to convey thoughts in order to fulfill their needs. In general, maharah al-kalam aims to be able to communicate properly and properly with the language they are learning. Moving on from the problem of learning disabilities that have a big impact on learning can certainly harm teachers and students in receiving the material. In learning Arabic, of course, you really need a lot of training to speak and memorize vocabulary so that there are no difficulties in learning Arabic. Students must also be active in learning. After that the student looked difficult when he spoke Arabic and spoke it and the accuracy of Arabic was not good, Apart from memorizing habitual vocabulary by the student, creating a supportive environment for practicing conversation. With a good language environment, speech can also be intertwined well. Regardless, there are many problems in learning to speak at MTs Riyadlatul ulum which make the lack of maximum learning in speaking skills, students' lack of speaking in speaking and speaking habits can also hinder the learning process to speak, unclear pronunciation and tarkibnya arrangement make the speaker and listener make it difficult. The population in this study were students of class VIII MTs Riyadlatul Ulum, using qualitative descriptive research. Data collection was carried out by means of interviews, observation and documentation. In the interview, to find out the problems that students have experienced and to get data about the factors that influence it, in the researchers' observations the researchers looked at the problems that appeared to students when in learning and documentation for evidence of research implementation.

Ensemble Generalized Kohn-Sham Theory: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Authors: Gould Tim , Kronik Leeor
Published: January 2021

Two important extensions of Kohn-Sham (KS) theory are generalized KS theory and ensemble KS theory. The former allows for non-multiplicative potential operators and greatly facilitates practical calculations with advanced, orbital-dependent functionals. The latter allows for quantum ensembles and enables the treatment of, e.g., open systems and excited states. Here, we combine the two extensions, both formally and practically, first via an exact yet complicated formalism, then via a computationally tractable variant that involves a controlled approximation of ensemble "ghost interactions" by means of an iterative algorithm. The resulting formalism is illustrated using selected examples. This opens the door to the application of generalized KS theory in more challenging quantum scenarios and to the improvement of ensemble theories for the purpose of practical and accurate calculations.
A General Pyrrolidine Synthesis via Iridium-Catalyzed Reductive Azomethine Ylide Generation from Tertiary Amides & Lactams
Authors: Yamazaki Ken , Gabriel Pablo , Di Carmine Graziano , Pedroni Julia , Farizyan Mirxan , Hamlin Trevor , Dixon Darren J.
Published: January 2021

A new iridium-catalyzed reductive generation of both stabilized and unstabilized azomethine ylides and their application to functionalized pyrrolidine synthesis via [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition reactions is described. Proceeding under mild reaction conditions from both amide and lactam precursors possessing a suitably positioned electron-withdrawing or a trimethylsilyl group, using catalytic Vaska’s complex [IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2] and tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) as a terminal reductant, a broad range of (un)stabilized azomethine ylides were accessible. Subsequent, regio- and diastereoselective, inter- and intramolecular, dipolar cycloaddition reactions with variously substituted electron-poor alkenes enabled ready and efficient access to structurally complex pyrrolidine architectures. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the dipolar cycloaddition reactions uncovered an intimate balance between asynchronicity and interaction energies of transition structures which ultimately control the unusual selectivities observed in certain cases.
How Metallylenes Activate Small Molecules
Authors: Vermeeren Pascal , Doppert Michael T. , Bickelhaupt F. Matthias , Hamlin Trevor
Published: January 2021

We have studied the activation of dihydrogen by metallylenes using relativistic density functional theory (DFT). Our detailed activation strain and Kohn-Sham molecular orbital analyses have quantified the physical factors behind the decreased reactivity of the metallylene on going down Group 14, from carbenes to stannylenes. Along this series, the reactivity decreases due to a worsening of the back-donation interaction between the filled lone-pair orbital of the metallylene and the s*-orbital of H2, which, therefore, reduces the metallylene–substrate interaction and increases the reaction barrier. As the metallylene ligand is varied from nitrogen to phosphorous to arsenic a significant rate enhancement is observed for the activation of H2 due to (i) a reduced steric (Pauli) repulsion between the metallylene and the substrate; and (ii) less activation strain, as the metallylene becomes increasingly more predistorted. Using a rationally designed metallylene with an optimal Group 14 atom and ligand combination, we show that a number of small molecules (i.e. HCN, CO2, H2, NH3) may also be readily activated. For the first time, we show the ability of our H2 activated designer metallylenes to hydrogenate unsaturated hydrocarbons. The results presented herein will serve as a guide for the rational design of metallylenes toward the activation of small molecules and subsequent reactions.

Sulfur Versus Nitrogen Chelation in C-H Activation: Cobalt(III)-Catalyzed Unsymmetrical Double Annulation of Thioamides
Authors: Shankar Majji , Saha Arijit , Sau Somratan , Ghosh Arghadip , Gandon Vincent , Sahoo Akhila
Published: January 2021

An unconventional cobalt(III)-catalyzed one-pot domino double annulation of aryl thioamides with unactivated alkynes is presented. Sulfur (S), nitrogen (N), and o,o'-C-H bonds of aryl thioamides are involved in this reaction, enabling access to rare 6,6-fused thiopyrano-isoquinoline derivatives. A reverse ‘S’ coordination over more conventional ‘N’ coordination of thioamides to Co-catalyst specifically regulates the formation of four [C-C and C-S at first and then C-N and C-C] bonds in a single operation, a concept which is uncovered for the first time. The power of the N-masked methyl phenyl sulfoximine (MPS) directing group in this annulation sequence is established. The transformation is successfully developed, building a novel chemical space of structural diversity (56 examples). In addition, late-stage annulation of biologically relevant motifs and drug candidates are disclosed (17 examples). Preliminary photophysical properties of thiopyrano-isoquinoline derivatives are discussed. Density functional theory (DFT) studies authenticate the participation of a unique 6p-electrocyclization of a 7-membered S-chelated cobaltacycle in the annulation process.

Published: January 2021

The development of an HPLC method for determination of Metoprolol, Telmisartan and Cilnidipine simultaneously in additional dosage was not published or reported up till date. The main aim of our study was to design a simultaneous and multiple response optimizations using the Derringer's desirability function in order to estimate Metoprolol, Telmisartan and Cilnidipine in pharmaceutical and bulk drug dosage form by HPLC method with experiment central compositive design (CCD) protocol for the quantitative methods analysis and also for validation of the procedure that is developed as per ICH regulations. An innovative RP-HPLC method had been designed for the estimation of Metoprolol, Telmisartan and Cilnidipine simultaneously in formulation using central composite design. Three factors were investigated and determined as significant when compared to the interaction and quadratic effect of the samples that CCD along with the response of the surface methodology. The developed method produced a good resolution of the drugs with a very short run time of 7.5 min. It was also validated according to ICH guidelines. It was recognized as novel and simple method that is accurate and cost-effective. So the proposed method fits best in the assaying routine of Metoprolol, Telmisartan and Cilnidipine in any formulations produced by quality control laboratories.
ANÁLISE COMBINATÓRIA: METODOLOGIA DE APOIO AO PROFESSOR
Authors: Venezuela Antonio Luís
Published: January 2021

Probabilidade e a Análise Combinatória foram desenvolvidas em meados do século XVII. Pesquisas atuais realizadas por diversos autores concluíram que existem deficiências no ensino de Análise Combinatória devido às dificuldades que os professores apresentam em relação ao uso e ensino dessa teoria. Em muitos casos, o ensino se limita quase sempre ao treinamento no uso de fórmulas e algoritmos para encontrar o número de arranjos, combinações ou permutações, sem proporcionar a possibilidade dos alunos derivarem as referidas fórmulas pelo uso da manipulação dos elementos dos respectivos espaços amostrais dos problemas. Neste trabalho, a partir do plano de aula, a atuação do professor foi dividida em dois momentos: antes da aula e durante da aula. Propõe-se aqui uma metodologia que dá apoio ao professor no momento anterior à aula, quando ele está preparando o conteúdo a ser desenvolvido em classe. Para cada tipo de problema de combinatória foram apresentadas as fórmulas e uma lista de suas características. A partir dessas características construiu-se um fluxograma a fim de facilitar a resolução de diversos problemas de combinatória, utilizando, para isso, perguntas e respostas. Por fim, foram resolvidos, por meio desse fluxograma, diversos problemas extraídos da literatura.
A View of Sydney: The Taylor Panorama Reassessed
Authors: Skinner Robin
Published: January 2021

In the 1820s British society had the opportunity to experience life in Sydney, New South Wales through the publication of a panorama of the military officer, Major James Taylor (1785–1829). The 1823 aquatints of his watercolours presented views of Sydney from the military area on the present-day Observation Hill. As well as communicating Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s progressive vision for a colony that was advancing beyond its status as a penal settlement, it presented its audience with narratives of life in Sydney. Taylor’s panorama survives through four preparatory watercolours and the three elegant aquatints. This publication drew sufficient interest to prompt subsequent editions in France and Britain. By the early twentieth century the work was valued in Australia as a record of the fabric of colonial Sydney, with later researchers discussing Taylor’s representation of various participants’ roles in the fledgling settlement. Analysis of Taylor’s study and its publication in Europe provides further insight into his composition and its reception, as well as furthering our understanding of life in New South Wales at that time.
Hans Jonas on the perils of progress and the recovery of Metaphysical speculation
Authors: Anderson Nicholas Allen
Published: January 2021

Hans Jonas’s establishment of an ethics of responsibility entails the simultaneous rejection of the modern notion of progress and the recovery of a form of “metaphysical speculation” that aids man in his search for an objective standard of value. Looking mostly at Jonas’s philosophical biology in The Phenomenon of Life and Mortality and Morality, this paper shows how Jonas’s thought on value judgments rests upon his critique of progress and science. The ethics of perfectibility and progress, Jonas shows, leads to a predicament in which the modern mind must navigate between the dangers present in the hubristic hopes of technological progress and the nihilism he finds in the thought of Martin Heidegger. Jonas’s philosophical biology serves as a critique of these positions that opens up an alternative orientation toward nature—one that grounds not only the ethics of responsibility but the uniquely human activity of reflection. The critique of progress serves, then, as a propaedeutic to the ethics of responsibility and the recovery of an image of man as the reflective animal. Such a recovery of metaphysical speculation from the dogmas of the physical sciences helps encourage a “new humility” in the face of man’s technological power. Jonas hopes to replace man’s desire for self-overcoming with the fear that his “Promethean immoderation” will lead to the biosphere's destruction. This fear acknowledges the limits of man’s knowledge and is thereby accompanied by a posture of Socratic ignorance and the reengagement with the philosophia perennis. That is, a less hubristic ethical theory depends upon a modest philosophical stance toward the whole. Only on the grounds of this epistemological modesty can we hope to proceed into the future with both caution and wisdom.
Apontamentos sobre a questão da Técnica no Século XX em abordagens prévias ao pensamento de Hans Jonas
Authors: Moretto Geovani Viola , Juk Joelson
Published: January 2021

A análise feita por Hans Jonas acerca do problema da técnica moderna, se situou em uma relação de identidade e diferenciação para com a tradição em que se encontrava inserido. Husserl foi o primeiro a indicar a necessidade de se reavaliar os limites da técnica moderna, para ele o problema dessa técnica, por ser uma decorrência da matematização da natureza, seria a perda de uma capacidade de se produzir um conhecimento que não seja intermediado pela própria tecnicidade da matematização. O trabalho de Ortega y Gasset na análise da técnica moderna, contribuiu para o estabelecimento de conceitos importantes, mas não suscitou uma reflexão crítica pertinente à contemporaneidade e nem apresentou grandes ressalvas quanto à utilização da técnica, pelo contrário, o filósofo espanhol foi um entusiasta dos resultados do tecnicismo. Martin Heidegger, é o filósofo anterior a Hans Jonas que com mais ênfase delineia não apenas uma análise da questão da técnica moderna, como também desenvolve uma crítica aos efeitos e as consequências que essa técnica pode produzir para a contemporaneidade. A partir dessas análises, é possível perceber que o pensamento de Hans Jonas é singular, sobretudo, porque vincula sua crítica e suas considerações à técnica moderna à análise do fenômeno da vida, preocupando-se em relacionar as ameaças e os problemas dessa técnica com a concretude e a singularidade da vida.
Fenomenologia literária e literatura fenomenológica sartreanas
Authors: Duarte da Silva Francisco Amsterdan , Germano Nunes Emanuel Ricardo
Published: January 2021

A predominância dos temas literários e fenomenológicos nos textos sartrianos dos anos 1930 já chamou atenção de vários especialistas e comentadores da obra do autor. É notável, entretanto, como os exames dos textos dessa época contentam-se, no mais das vezes, em apontar o paralelismo ou a contemporaneidade entre fenomenologia e literatura ali presente, sem realçar a fundamentação que uma parece conferir à outra e que constitui uma das questões mais interessantes que a filosofia sartriana levanta. Há que se incluir, na verdade, a estética literária de Sartre na compreensão de suas teses fenomenológicas; teses estas que, por outro lado, fornecem o solo filosófico da literatura sartriana, em termos tanto de autoria quanto de crítica. O propósito deste artigo é demonstrar, assim, uma dependência ou, se quisermos, implicação mútua entre literatura e fenomenologia não apenas central em relação àquele período da produção de Sartre como, também, determinante para seus projetos teóricos e ficcionais ulteriores.

Measuring Pakistan’s Legislative Preparedness against COVID-19: A Critical Study of Newly Promulgated Law
Authors: Jibran Jamshed  , Ammara Mujtaba  , Muhammad Waqas Javed  , Syed Wajdan Rafay Bukhari
Published: January 2021

Background: Since December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the international community on health and legislative fronts. The widespread disease needs an effective response from the health-care system as well as the legislative framework. Pakistan is facing a challenge from the under-developed health-care system as well as a lack of awareness about the available laws to deal with the issue. Awareness about the relevant laws is a precursor to the establishment of rule of law. This study will doctrinally analyse the national laws of Pakistan to make the response more effective. The awareness about the relevant laws will supplement the healthcare response against the pandemic of COVID-19. Since Pakistan is a federation and healthcare is a provincial subject, therefore the study limits itself to the laws of Punjab, the largest populated province of Pakistan.  

Objectives: This study will analyse the available healthcare laws to deal with the recent outbreak of COVID-19. The focus will remain on the doctrinal measurement of the effectiveness of The Punjab Infectious Diseases (Prevention and Control) Act 2020 (PIDA) vis-à-vis already existing laws. It will also highlight the salient features of the PIDA 2020 along with its effectiveness to deal with the current pandemic.

Method: The study benefits from documentary analysis of legal documents. The method is nearer to the doctrinal research method in law. The study will shape itself into two parts. First will be lax lata that will ascertain what is the relevant healthcare law to deal with infectious diseases like COVID-19. The next step will be lax ferenda where the study will propose how it can become more effective to deal with the issue. The research will opt black letter approach.

Conclusion: This study finds that the adoption of PIDA 2020 is in spirit with dealing with the pandemic of the COID-19. The law has shown positive trends in protecting the population from the widespread impact of the diseases. The World Health Organization has appreciated Pakistan’s methods and strategies against the first wave of the COVID-19 with reference to response in Punjab, the largest province of Pakistan.
Strategic Dimensions of CPEC: Role of Regional and International Powers
Authors: Muhammad Ijaz Latif  , Muhammad Tayyab Zia
Published: January 2021

Indian Ocean, along with its chokepoints and Sea Lanes of Communications, is considered to be the significant strategic maritime arena. The area has remained under the influence of the US. India, being a largest littoral state of the said ocean, has a strong say here. Sino- Pakistan strategic collaboration and convergence over the construction of Gwadar and CPEC would not only serve the commercial interests of both of the states, rather it would also strengthen their strategic and defense position in the region. On the Beijing’s part, China would, to a considerable extent, neutralize its “Malacca Dilemma”. And on Islamabad’s part, it would serve to be a deterrent to any aggressive design of her arch rival India. It is because on the one hand it would enhance the strategic depth of Pakistan, and on the other hand integrity of Pakistan would be indispensible for China. And any attempt to destabilize Pakistan could provoke China, so Pakistan’s integrity would be sine qua non for China.

Dicha sepiolita ha sido funcionalizada con Fe y Ni, obteniéndose con este último metal rendimientos prometedores.

Authors: Melo Angelina Moreira , Freitas Alair Ferreira de , Calbino Daniel
Published: January 2021

A Comunidade que Sustenta a Agricultura (CSA) é um sistema de abrangência internacional, que foi implementado no Brasil a partir do ano de 2011 e encontra-se em expansão pelo país. Com o intuito de compreender qual tem sido o foco das pesquisas brasileiras sobre a CSA, o presente artigo propõe-se a realizar a construção do estado da arte sobre esse tema a partir das dissertações e teses já publicadas. Neste sentido, por meio do software IRaMuTeQ realizou-se a análise dos resumos dos trabalhos encontrados e, além disso, foi construído um quadro que apresenta os autores, as universidades, os programas de pós-graduação em que as pesquisas estão vinculadas e as CSAs analisadas. Os resultados indicam que as pesquisas têm sido desenvolvidas por diferentes programas de pós-graduação e o principalmente foco está nas relações interpessoais e no potencial da CSA para a sustentabilidade ambiental.

Authors: Lima Jandir Ferrera de
Published: January 2021

Esse artigo analisa o deslocamento do valor adicionado fiscal e seu padrão de localização entre as microrregiões do Paraná. O procedimento metodológico consistiu na estimativa dos indicadores de localização e da composição da estrutura produtiva a partir de dados do valor adicionado fiscal do Estado do Paraná. A periodização utilizada foi o comparativo entre os anos 2010 e 2017. Os principais resultados apontaram o fortalecimento da economia regional paranaense, com a maior dispersão das atividades produtivas no território estadual e maior geração de valor nas atividades industriais localizadas nas regiões periféricas.

Como desafios, tem-se que a região possui aptidão para crescimento sustentado em uma base exportadora, necessitando investir em agregação de valor ao produto regional e internalizar seus benefícios.
Empresariamento urbano e city marketing: reflexões a partir da cidade de Belo Horizonte
Authors: Diniz Luciano dos Santos , Magalhães Ana Carolina Pioto , Junior Paulo Fernandes Sanches
Published: January 2021

A globalização da economia e a inserção das cidades na competitiva rede da economia internacional tornam a disputa por investimentos financeiros, criação de empregos, atração de turistas e moradores solventes cada vez mais acirrada. A partir da implementação de técnicas de gestão do denominado “empresariamento urbano”, as cidades, na condição de mercadorias, são adequadas à ordem econômica mundial, mediante a afirmação de sua competitividade e respectivas vantagens locacionais. O plano de gestão estratégica e o city marketing surgem como importantes instrumentos do planejamento urbano atual, destinados a fomentar, respectivamente, o crescimento econômico e a “venda” da cidade no cenário internacional, mediante a promoção de uma imagem de cidade que projete os seus principais “produtos” no exterior. Diante deste cenário, este artigo busca analisar as práticas de city marketing adotadas pela gestão municipal de Belo Horizonte para a promoção da cidade no mercado interurbano. Para tanto, foi utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa na pesquisa, de natureza descritiva, recorrendo às pesquisas bibliográfica, documental e de levantamento para a coleta de dados. A pesquisa concluiu que Belo Horizonte está completamente inserida na lógica do “empresariamento urbano”, o que leva a gestão urbana a assumir objetivos que visam não somente o bem-estar da população, mas também as demandas dos detentores de capitais e possíveis investidores da cidade. Diante desta lógica, o poder público utiliza, fundamentalmente, as seguintes ferramentas do city marketing em Belo Horizonte: infraestrutura, branding, promoção de eventos e participação popular.
A produção de tabaco no Brasil: um estudo com base na teoria da localização e do crescimento regional de Douglass North
Authors: Santos Eliane de Souza , Deponti Cidonea Machado
Published: January 2021

Esta pesquisa se trata de uma análise sobre a trajetória sócio histórica da produção de tabaco no Brasil. Diante da história e do papel desta cultura para a economia, o objetivo geral do estudo é realizar uma análise sob a ótica da teoria da localização e do crescimento regional de Douglass North. A pesquisa justifica-se pelo fato de que a cultura do tabaco está presente no desenvolvimento das regiões produtoras no país. Para tanto, utiliza-se a metodologia de caráter descritivo-exploratória. A revisão bibliográfica foi embasada em artigos científicos de autores que investigam sobre o tema, além de dados e informações do Sindicato Interestadual da Indústria do Tabaco (SINDITABACO). Diante da análise dos dados, entende-se a importância desta cultura em uma trajetória histórica de desenvolvimento das regiões produtoras, e principalmente, de inserção da produção no mercado internacional, com a oferta de um produto diferenciado e com qualidade brasileira. Entretanto, é possível concluir que em termos de desenvolvimento regional, é necessária a diversificação produtiva do território, pois, a diversificação é uma condição de segurança para a região.
O valor de frutas, legumes e verduras comercializadas em feiras livres e sua interface com a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN)
Authors: Ramos Camila Irigonhé , Krone Evander Eloi , Menasche Renata
Published: January 2021

O presente estudo objetivou promover a reflexão sobre a valoração dos alimentos que os feirantes produzem e/ou comercializam, e, além disso, como este processo relaciona-se com a segurança alimentar e nutricional de todos os atores envolvidos no sistema alimentar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, com inspiração etnográfica. Na coleta dos dados realizou-se entrevistas em profundidade e observação participante em feiras orgânicas e convencionais, além de locais de produção de orgânicos, durante os anos de 2013 e 2014 no município de Pelotas/RS e região. Como principais resultados obteve-se que existem nas feiras aqueles que são apenas produtores, os que produzem e revendem e os revendedores, este fato influencia na relação que o feirante tem com o alimento que comercializa e com o seu freguês. Os feirantes orgânicos são apenas produtores e demonstraram cuidado com o alimento e com as pessoas que buscam o seu produto, diferentemente dos feirantes convencionais que tratam o alimento como mercadoria. Para os feirantes ecológicos seus fregueses buscam este alimento porque se preocupam com a sua saúde e com o meio ambiente, percepção distinta dos feirantes convencionais que tem um padrão de alimentos que são comercializados, e que apontam que as pessoas buscam o alimento pela estética e não pela saudabilidade. É preciso relativizar os fatores que podem estar imbricados no valor agregado aos alimentos comercializados nas feiras, assim como na produção e na escolha de alimentos que são socialmente e culturalmente concebidos como saudáveis e que promovem a saúde e a segurança alimentar e nutricional.

Published: January 2021

Este estudo teve como objetivo descobrir o que a população brasileira deseja para o seu futuro, por meio de uma análise de conteúdo a partir dos vídeos apresentados no quadro “O Brasil que Eu Quero” da emissora Globo de televisão. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que o que os brasileiros querem para o futuro do Brasil é um país que invista em educação, saúde, segurança pública e moradias dignas. Os brasileiros esperam o dinheiro público, arrecadado pelo governo através do regime tributário nacional, seja investido em benefícios sociais, infraestrutura, educação e saúde, que tragam melhorias na qualidade de vida da população como um todo. Os brasileiros desejam para o futuro, que se tenha respeito com o dinheiro e patrimônio público e que os governantes busquem o bem comum ao invés de seus interesses particulares. Ao longo da pesquisa percebeu-se o sentimento de indignação da população brasileira diante dos casos de corrupção que assolam o país em todas as esferas. Além de pedir pelos seus direitos constitucionais, a população brasileira almeja o fim da corrupção no país, para o Brasil volte a ser um país respeitado no cenário internacional e atraia investimentos que possam contribuir para o seu desenvolvimento.
