O PROTOCOLO VERDE E POSSÍVEIS IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A ECONOMIA NORDESTINA
Authors: Jacques Ribemboim Jacques Ribemboim
Published: February 2024

O Protocolo Verde é o nome de fantasia dado ao documento elaborado por um Grupo de Trabalho instituído pelo Presidente da República, com o objetivo de propor estratégias e diretrizes para que o sistema de crédito oficial e incentivos fiscais não seja utilizado de maneira prejudicial com relação ao meio ambiente ou em projetos que não apresentem características de auto sustentabilidade. O documento sela, ainda, o compromisso das instituições financeiras oficiais com a questão ambiental, e sugere a extensão desse compromisso para todo o sistema financeiro nacional. No trabalho que se segue, é feita, após uma breve discussão teórica sobre os fundamentos da teoria das externalidades, uma análise do Protocolo Verde no tocante aos instrumentos econômicos que utiliza na promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável, bem como algumas implicações que poderá trazer para a economia nordestina.
CERRADOS DO BRASIL E DO NORDESTE: CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE OS FATORES ECOLÓGICOS ATUANTES, OCUPAÇÃO, CONSERVAÇÃO E FITODIVERSIDADE
Authors: Antônio Alberto Jorge Farias Castro
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo apresenta considerações sobre a distribuição dos cerrados os principais fatores ecológicos, flora e padrão florístico-bem como sobre sua situação atual em termos de ocupação e conservação. A flora lenhosa é pouco conhecida e os problemas taxonômicos são consideráveis, apesar do grande número de espécies (989 a 1.753). Uma flora total que tem uma estimativa de 7.000 espécies, contra 60.000 da Amazônia e 2.000 da Caatinga nordestina, não pode continuar a ser substituída sem adequadas estratégias de gerenciamento e sem nenhuma preocupação com sua preservação. Com o desconhecimento do fito diversidade, a implantação de modelos de desenvolvimento sustentável fica prejudicada, comprometendo assim qualquer plano governamental, principalmente no Nordeste, por possuir um dos mais importantes superlentos de biodiversidade dos cerrados do Brasil. Alteração de paisagens naturais para dar a impressão de utilização (em termos de produção) e descarte de madeiras sem valor comercial direto ou ainda desconhecido (porque são dispensáveis para a sobrevivência de outras que o possuem) são ideias totalmente equivocadas. Produção, hoje, deve incluir também manutenção da biodiversidade.
POR UMA POLÍTICA DE CIÊNCIA E TECNOLOGIA PARA O NORDESTE

Published: February 2024

Aponta alguns aspectos a serem contemplados em uma política de ciência e tecnologia para o Nordeste brasileiro. Dá ênfase especial à estruturação de uma base econômica voltada para as exportações, como estratégia para se alcançar a sustentação do desenvolvimento tecnológico da região. Rejeita a tese de que o Nordeste deva especializar-se em atividades ditas tradicionais (pedras ornamentais, turismo e agricultura irrigada), com o que se relega à região um papel secundário na atual ordem industrial. Pelo contrário, argumenta, o Nordeste deve inserir-se na produção tecnologicamente avançada, até porque as exportações de produtos com média intensidade tecnológica são as que mais crescem na Região. Já a exportação de produtos de alta tecnologia ainda é insignificante à falta de uma específica politica de incentivos para este setor.

Authors: Ronaldo Albuquerque e Arraes
Published: February 2024

Atingir eficiência econômica em produção animal é o ponto central deste artigo. Para tanto, algumas questões teóricas do ponto- de-vista microeconômico são enfocadas a respeito da maximização de lucro versus minimização de custo. Sendo esse o objetivo primordial da firma, duas abordagens metodológicas são confrontadas - programação linear e programação quadrática com o intuito de verificar em bases teóricas e empíricas qual atingiria eficiência econômica. Dados de frango de corte são utilizados na verificação empírica, de onde comprova-se a superioridade de programação quadrática na formulação e custo de ração e peso do animal, ou seja, na eficiência econômica.

ΜΕΙΟ ΑΜΒΙΕΝTE, MINERAÇÃO E DEMANDAS SOCIAIS EM REGIÕES METROPOLITANAS
Authors: Carvalho Osires
Published: February 2024

É comum ao grande público considerar a poluição e os desequilíbrios ambientais como fenômenos recentes e produto do atual estágio da nossa civilização tecnológica e de consumo. Ledo engano; na verdade, a humanidade já convive com esse tipo de problema há muito tempo e a história registra fatos ligados ao tema há pelo menos seis séculos. Nada obstante os registros históricos, vale salientar que a questão ambiental ganhou notoriedade no período que sucedeu a Segunda Grande Guerra. O crescimento acentuado da produção e do consumo, o crescimento populacional e elevadas taxas de urbanização impuseram um ônus sobre o ambiente natural, internalizado por toda a sociedade beneficiária do acúmulo de riqueza gerada pelo progresso econômico. O problema ambiental foi exacerbado pelos dois choques do petróleo, ao longo dos anos 70, chegando-se mesmo a preconizar o Crescimento Econômico Zero ZEG. Por sorte, o atemorizante cenário de juízo final não se materializou. Hoje, passados 26 anos, os indicadores globais demonstram que a produção de riqueza triplicou nos últimos 25 anos, enquanto o consumo de metais de intensivo uso industrial (alumínio, cobre, ferro, níquel e zinco) cresceu apenas 42%...
PRODUTIVIDADE, COMPETITIVIDADE E ESTRUTURA DA INDÚSTRIA NORDESTINA A PARTIR DE 1980
Authors: Antônio Lisboa Teles da Rosa
Published: February 2024

Analisa o comportamento da produção, da produtividade e do poder competitivo da indústria nordestina no mercado nacional, durante o período 1980-1992, época marcada por sucessivas crises, agravadas nos primeiros anos da década de 90. As conclusões identificam que a fragilidade da indústria nordestina vem-se ampliando e o processo recessivo tende a ser mais forte na Região, em função de sua integração produtiva, subordinação a decisões econômicas extra regionais e menor capacidade para atrair novos investimentos. Como alternativa para amenizar o problema, sugerem-se medidas visando a atrair grandes investimentos, acompanhadas do fortalecimento de conjuntos integrados de pequenas e médias empresas, na busca da implantação de um modelo de desenvolvimento que contemple os grandes projetos e as potencialidades locais.

O PROGESSO SOCIAL DO NORDESTE: UM BALANÇO DE QUASE MEIO SÉCULO
Authors: Cavalcanti de Albuquerque Roberto
Published: February 2024

O documento do GTND (1959), embora seja essencial uma política de crescimento econômico para Nordeste, incorpora visão mais abrangente da questão do desenvolvimento regional que contém proposta para solucionar alguns problemas sociais. Entretanto, ele não formula explicitamente uma estratégia de formação de capital humano em esforço ao processo de acumulação de capital material. Apesar disto, o processo social alcançado pelo Nordeste desde os anos de 1950 é incontestável, sendo relativamente maior que o do Brasil, ou do Sudeste. Porém os padrões de desenvolvimento atualmente prevalecentes no Brasil e no mundo tornam imperiosa uma nova estratégia social para a região, inserida funcionalmente para a capacitação dos recursos humanos e a redução da pobreza.

OS NOVOS RUMOS DA INDÚSTRIA NA BAHIA
Authors: Uderman Simone , Menezes Vladson Bahia
Published: February 2024

Constata que o Estado da Bahia vive hoje um momento de inflexão, marcado pelo esgotamento de um ciclo de desenvolvimento industrial e pela possibilidade de estruturação de um novo modelo de crescimento econômico. Os contornos desse novo ciclo de industrialização, contudo, ainda não foram definidos. Embora se delineiem alguns eixos possíveis de expansão da indústria e se esbocem algumas ações seletivas de apoio ao desenvolvimento e à atração de investimentos, há muito mais dúvidas do que certezas quanto às perspectivas e ao novo desenho do setor industrial da Bahia. Discute essa nova configuração, partindo do pressuposto de que a atração dos novos investimentos, além de consolidar uma fase expansiva para a economia estadual, cria oportunidades para que se redefinam as bases produtivas setoriais e o ordenamento espacial das atividades. Analisa a distribuição geográfica e setorial dos investimentos previstos no Estado, de modo a verificar a tendência em termos de concentração/desconcentração da atividade econômica nos próximos anos.

Analisa custos e benefícios da implantação conjunta dos métodos de tratamento de resíduos sólidos domésticos, notadamente usinas de reciclagem e compostagem e aterro sanitário. O suporte teórico foi provido pela análise de bem-estar social, com ênfase para o tratamento das externalidades. Como base metodológica empírica montaram-se, inicialmente, modelos econométricos com vistas a identificar as variáveis, prever e simular a dimensão tanto do déficit na coleta quanto a geração dos resíduos sólidos urbanos. Os resultados obtidos foram estatisticamente satisfatórios em vista das confiáveis estimativas obtidas. O resultado mais importante indicou a existência de benefícios sociais líquidos advindos da adoção dos empreendimentos considerados. Do confronto entre os benefícios e custos anuais do projeto (aterro sanitário e usina de reciclagem e compostagem), extraiu-se, dentre outros indicadores positivos, uma relação benefício-custo de 1,55, indicando que para cada unidade de custos haveria 1,55 unidades de benefícios

Comparative Analysis of Barium Enema and Computed Tomography Colonography
Authors: Ali Zuhair , Hamdoun Anas
Published: February 2024

Background: Large bowel lesions present a diagnostic challenge, with both benign polyps and colorectal cancer requiring accurate identification for effective treatment. Traditional diagnostic methods, notably barium enema (BE), have been hampered by limitations in sensitivity and patient comfort. This necessitates a critical evaluation of more advanced methods, such as computed tomography colonography (CTC), to improve diagnostic outcomes. Objective: This review narrative aimed to (i) conduct a thorough comparative analysis of BE and CTC, specifically concentrating on their diagnostic efficacy, patient experiences, and versatility in diverse clinical settings and (ii) provide clinicians with in-depth insights and actionable recommendations, aimed at enhancing the strategies for imaging and diagnosing large bowel lesions, as well as aiding in the effective setup and planning of diagnostic services. Methods: We conducted an exhaustive literature review across multiple databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. The selection criteria focused on studies that directly compared BE and CTC. We examined aspects such as diagnostic accuracy, patient experiences during the procedures, and their economic impact on healthcare systems. Results: The findings indicate a marked superiority of CTC over BE in terms of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, particularly in polyp detection. CTC is shown to be more patient-centric, offering enhanced comfort and suitability, especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly and patients with conditions like renal insufficiency. Furthermore, the integration of CTC with ongoing technological advancements and adherence to contemporary clinical guidelines highlights its pivotal role in current preventive healthcare strategies. The application of CTC presents substantial benefits for long-term patient safety and demonstrates cost-effectiveness, making it a preferential choice for adoption in the radiology departments of new healthcare institutions. Conclusion: CTC stands out as a superior diagnostic tool for large bowel lesions, surpassing BE in effectiveness, patient comfort, and economic viability. It is in harmony with modern healthcare practices and is particularly advantageous in settings with ample resources. This review strongly supports a shift towards CTC in clinical settings, to enhance the quality of patient care and outcomes in the detection and management of colorectal lesions.
