description: O crescimento do mercado mundial de alimentos orgânicos nos últimos dez anos tem aumentado a demanda por estudos relacionados a esse tema. Os supermercados têm se mostrado agentes relevantes na distribuição desses produtos no Brasil e no exterior. Este trabalho tem por objetivo descrever as características do comportamento do consumidor de frutas, legumes e verduras (FLV) orgânicas na cidade de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. Mais especificamente, buscou-se evidenciar tal comportamento com base no encadeamento entre atributos, conseqüências (benefícios que esses atributos são capazes de prover) e valores pessoais dos consumidores. Foram realizadas trinta entrevistas em profundidade, sendo que, para a coleta, análise e interpretação dos dados, utilizou-se a técnica qualitativa laddering, que toma os pressupostos teóricos da cadeia de meios e fins. Os resultados mostram, enfaticamente, a preocupação dos consumidores com o bem estar individual e com a sua manutenção ao longo do tempo, por meio de qualidade de vida e de uma vida saudável, classificados como valores individuais conforme a escala de Schwartz. Por fim, são apresentadas as percepções dominantes desses consumidores, originadas pelo encadeamento entre atributos, conseqüências e valores obtidos na pesquisa.------------------------------------------------------------The growth of the world’s organic food market in the last ten years had been raising the demand for studies related to this theme. The supermarkets had been showing relevant actors in the distribution of these products in Brazil and in the external market. This paper aims to describe the characteristics of the consumer behavior of organic fruits and vegetables in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais State. More precisely, it aims to evidence this behavior through the attributes, consequences (benefits that these attributes are able to provide) and values enchainment. It was made 30 in-depth interviews. Concerning the data collect, analysis and interpretation, it was used the laddering qualitative technique, that is based on the means end chain theory. The results show, emphatically, the wish of the consumers with the individual well being and with its maintenance over the time, through life quality and a healthy life, classified as individual values according to the Schwartz scale. Finally it presents the dominant perceptions of these consumers from the enchainment between the attributes, consequences and values obtained in the research.

This paper was presented at the Performing Indeterminacy conference, University of Leeds, on 1 July 2017.

Rule-based compositions may specify actions or activities that have no explicit purpose. A process is initiated, perhaps with an end condition, and the piece plays itself out. Players follow instructions, and then stop: but what are they aiming to do? This paper explores the balance between purpose, play and task subservience in rule-based music. It considers ways in which games might suggest approaches for harnessing specific motivations of players in musical contexts, facilitating ‘the process of engaging with the world and oneself through play’ (Sicart 2014: 84). Tasks in persuasive games (Bogost 2010) are designed to embody real-world challenges, while recent work by Flanagan and Nissenbaum (2014) proposes an approach to game design that communicates embedded values. Such approaches translate to other disciplines, including rule-based music, presenting models for linking tasks to purpose and play, and with it relationships outside the ‘temporary world within the ordinary world’ (Huizinga 1955: 10). Game designers may create situations that prioritise the ‘aesthetic or sentimental value of game choices’ (Juul 2007) over win states, questioning the nature of play within games that might align more to music and the need for players to determine their own purpose within a field of available possibilities.

description: We consider the existence of standing pulse solutions of a neural network integro-differential equation. These pulses are bistable with the zero state and may be an analogue for short term memory in the brain. The network consists of a single-layer of neurons synaptically connected by lateral inhibition. Our work extends the classic Amari result by considering a non-saturating gain function. We consider a specific connectivity function where the existence conditions for single-pulses can be reduced to the solution of an algebraic system. In addition to the two localized pulse solutions found by Amari, we find that three or more pulses can coexist. We also show the existence of nonconvex ``dimpled'' pulses and double pulses. We map out the pulse shapes and maximum firing rates for different connection weights and gain functions.

description: With the aim to reveal the assembly pathway of Salmonella Typhimurium T3SS, we used in vivo photocrosslinking to test interactions between different proteins in various genetic backgrounds with a focus on components of the base and export apparatus. Based on the results, we propose a model in which assembly is carried out from two nucleation points. Assembly starts simultaneously at the outer membrane with the secretin and at the inner membrane with the export apparatus, onto which PrgK (SctJ) assembles. Initially, di- and trimers of PrgH (SctD) are attached to the secretin, but they can only form their complete ring in the presence of the export apparatus - PrgK intermediate; PrgK seems to be necessary as a template for the oligomerization of PrgH. A decision in favor of inside-out or outside-in assembly is therefore not possible.

description: We report angle-dependent magnetoresistance measurements on (TMTSF)2ClO4 that provide strong support for a new macroscopic quantum phenomenon, the interference commensurate (IC) effect, in quasi-one dimensional metals. In addition to observing rich magnetoresistance oscillations, and fitting them with one-electron calculations, we observe a clear demarcation of field-dependent behavior at local resistance minima and maxima (versus field angle). Anticipated by a theoretical treatment of the IC effect in terms of Bragg reflections in the extended Brillouin zone, this behavior results from 1D-2D topological crossovers of electron wave functions as a function of field orientation.

description: We consider the asymptotic behavior of the surface quasi-geostrophic equation, subject to a small external force. Under suitable assumptions on the forcing, we first construct the steady states and we provide a number of useful a posteriori estimates for them. Importantly, to do so, we only impose minimal cancellation conditions on the forcing function. Our main result is that all $L^1\cap L^\infty$ localized initial data produces global solutions of the forced SQG, which converge to the steady states in $L^p(\mathbf R^2), 1

A fragilidade social identificada pelo estudo da bacia do rio Goitá e rio Tapacurá, onde se cultiva mandioca, é decorrente da baixa capacidade produtiva em áreas de cultivo e da disponibilidade de casas de farinha em situação precária de funcionamento. A orientação e o planejamento da agricultura familiar realizado por meio participativo pode ser considerada mola propulsora numa de visão de futuro estabelecida nessa instância, bem como, favorecer a diversificação com melhoria significativa no desenvolvimento sustentável da teia produtiva da mandioca nessa zona.------------------------------------------------The technical assistance still limited to family farmers in Pernambuco reflects the loss of competitiveness in productive arrangements considered strategic municipalities in the Forest Zone of Pernambuco. The social fragility identified by the study of Goitá and Tapacurá’s river basin, where cassava is grown, is due to low production capacity in areas of cultivation and availability of houses of flour in precarious operation. The orientation and the planning of the familiar agriculture carried through participatory decisions can be considered a vision of the future set in that instance, and supports the diversification with significant improvement in the sustainable development of the web production of cassava in the area.

description: Power-to-X (PtX) products constitute a promising solution component in the defossilisation of hard-to-abate sectors. Where direct electrification is not possible, they can find application as chemical feedstock, easy to transport energy carriers and storage. In this contribution, a modular system architecture for a highly automated operation of an offshore off-grid PtX production platform consisting of five layers (asset, control, communication, digital, application) is presented. The assumed advantage of such an off-grid platform is the good scalability worldwide as well as easy exploitation of renewable potentials in any location. Using the example of a power-to-methanol process, a simplified prototype is outlined.

This paper was presented at the Ludo2017 conference at Bath Spa University on 20 April 2017.

This paper applies theory drawn from game studies to music composition in order to consider ways in which rules and goals create environments that promote critical play (Flanagan 2013). Game studies research shows that games rely on interactivity, goals, competitors and conflict (Crawford 2003), and consequently effort from its players so as to attach value to its outcomes (Juul 2003). To do this, games use rules in order to create a ‘temporary world within the ordinary world, dedicated to the performance of an act apart’ (Huizinga 1955: 10). In game compositions, rules are used to present choices, allowing individual players to make autonomous decisions that are focused on achieving a specified goal. Individual decisions may influence the overall outcome of the music, but other players’ actions prevent individual control through obstructing these goals. While rules might be simple, complex individual and group behaviours emerge, presenting models of social interaction. The paper explores correspondences between rules in games and indeterminate music, and considers how constraints create agency for players through presenting them with choices and goals.

description: We have refined the census of stars and brown dwarfs in the Upper Sco association (~10 Myr, ~145 pc) by 1) updating the selection of candidate members from our previous survey to include the high-precision astrometry from the second data release of Gaia, 2) obtaining spectra of a few hundred candidate members to measure their spectral types and verify their youth, and 3) assessing the membership (largely with Gaia astrometry) of 2020 stars toward Upper Sco that show evidence of youth in this work and previous studies. We arrive at a catalog of 1761 objects that are adopted as members of Upper Sco. The distribution of spectral types among the adopted members is similar to those in other nearby star-forming regions, indicating a similar initial mass function. In previous studies, we have compiled mid-infrared photometry from WISE and the Spitzer Space Telescope for members of Upper Sco and used those data to identify the stars that show evidence of circumstellar disks; we present the same analysis for our new catalog of members. As in earlier work, we find that the fraction of members with disks increases with lower stellar masses, ranging from <=10% for >1 Msun to ~22% for 0.01-0.3 Msun. Finally, we have estimated the relative ages of Upper Sco and other young associations using their sequences of low-mass stars in M(G_RP) versus G_BP-G_RP. This comparison indicates that Upper Sco is a factor of two younger than the beta Pic association (21-24 Myr) according to both non-magnetic and magnetic evolutionary models.

description: Four-dimensional supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on a sphere has highly charged baryon-like states built from anti-symmetric combinations of the adjoint scalars. We show that these states, which are equivalently described as holes in a free fermi sea of a reduced matrix model, are D-branes. Their excitations are stringlike and effectively realize Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions in various directions. The low energy brane dynamics should realize an emergent gauge theory that is local on a new space. We show that the Gauss' Law associated to this emergent gauge symmetry appears from combinatorial identities relating the stringy excitations. Although these excitations are not BPS, they can be near-BPS and we can hope to study them in perturbation theory. Accordingly, we show that the Chan-Paton factors expected for strings propagating on multiple branes arise dynamically, allowing the emergent gauge symmetry to be non-Abelian.

description: Kawakami and the author showed that a projective variety with an int-amplified endomorphism of degree invertible in the base field satisfies Bott vanishing. That was a new way to analyze which varieties have nontrivial endomorphisms. In this paper, we extend that result to a logarithmic version of Bott vanishing for an endomorphism with a totally invariant divisor.
 We apply this to Fano 3-folds. Meng-Zhang-Zhong showed that the only smooth complex Fano 3-folds that admit an int-amplified endomorphism are the toric ones. Also, Achinger-Witaszek-Zdanowicz showed that the only smooth complex Fano 3-folds that are images of toric varieties are the toric ones. Using log Bott vanishing, we reprove both results and extend them to characteristic p, for morphisms of degree prime to p.

description: O objetivo desse artigo é discutir o que leva o agricultor a aplicar ou não os agrotóxicos, bem como ressaltar quais são os elementos que estão por traz dessa decisão. O presente trabalho abordará o problema a partir de uma análise integrada entre agricultura, meio ambiente e saúde pública, estabelecendo elementos que dão legitimidade à agricultura sustentável como geradora de benefícios sociais, ambientais e econômicos vis-à-vis as técnicas da agricultura convencional com uso intensivo de agrotóxicos e geradoras de externalidades negativas. Para tal, lançamos mão de alguns dados e artigos da literatura específica que ilustram os aspectos teóricos aqui levantados. Com intuito de corroborar esses aspectos teóricos, processamos os microdados da Pesquisa de Previsão de Safra (PREVS) do IBGE, que trouxe no ano de 1999 um suplemento especial a respeito do uso de agrotóxicos no estado do Paraná. Por meio de uma simples análise através de tabelas de contingência traçaremos um perfil que revela as práticas de uso desses produtos e as associamos com a intoxicação de trabalhadores desses estabelecimentos rurais, o que muito contribui para recolocarmos os argumentos teóricos aqui discutidos à luz da realidade brasileira como elementos centrais de discussão da atual política de racionalização do uso dos agrotóxicos no país. -------------------------------------------------------This paper discusses why the farmer to apply to pesticides and what is the elements present in that decision from an integrated analysis between agriculture, the environment and public health. We recognize that sustainable agriculture produce social, environmental and economical benefits compared the techniques of conventional agriculture with the intensive use of pesticides and causing negative externalities. The database used was the PREVS / IBGE (Crops Prediction Sample) 1999, which brought information about the use of pesticides in the state of Parana. The contingency tables designed the profile of pesticides use and associate with the poisoning of rural workers. The results contributed to sustain the theoretical discourse based on the Brazilian reality collaborating to policy of pesticides use.

description: Let $z_1, \dots, z_m$ be $m$ distinct complex numbers, normalized to $|z_k| = 1$, and consider the polynomial $$ p_{m}(z) = \prod_{k=1}^{m}{(z-z_k)}.$$ We define a sequence of polynomials in a greedy fashion, $$ p_{N+1}(z) = p_{N}(z) \left(z - z^*\right)\qquad \mbox{where}~z^* = \arg\max_{|z|=1} |p_{N}(z)|,$$ and prove that, independently of the initial polynomial $p_m$, the roots of $p_{N}$ equidistribute in angle at rate at most $(\log{N})^2/N$. This even persists when sometimes adding `adversarial' points by hand. We rephrase the main result in terms of a dynamical system involving the inverse fractional Laplacian $(-Δ)^{-1/2}$ and conjecture that, when phrased in this language, the underlying regularity phenomenon might appear in a very general setting.

description: We studied the diffusion and the relaxation of the polarized quasiparticle spins in superconductors. To that end, quasiparticles of polarized spins were injected through an interface of a mesoscopic superconducting Al wire in proximity contact with an overlaid ferromagnetic Co wire in the single-domain state. The superconductivity was observed to be suppressed near the spin-injecting interface, as evidenced by the occurrence of a finite voltage for a bias current below the onset of the superconducting transition. The spin diffusion length, estimated from finite voltages over a certain length of Al wire near the interface, was almost temperature independent in the temperature range sufficiently below the superconducting transition but grew as the transition temperature was approached. This temperature dependence suggests that the relaxation of the spin polarization in the superconducting state is governed by the condensation of quasiparticles to the paired state. The spin relaxation in the superconducting state turned out to be more effective than in the normal state.

description: In this paper, we established quadratic transportation cost inequalities for solutions of stochastic reaction diffusion equations driven by multiplicative space-time white noise on the whole line $\mathbb{R}$. Since the space variable is defined on the unbounded domain $\mathbb{R}$, the inequalities are proved under a weighted $L^2$-norm and a weighted uniform metric in the so called $L^2_{tem}$, $C_{tem}$ spaces. The new moments estimates of the stochastic convolution with respect to space-time white noise play an important role. In addition, the transportation cost inequalities are also obtained for the stochastic reaction diffusion equations with random initial values.

A abordagem parte dos aspectos teóricos e conceituais de Geoprocessamento, banco de dados, sistema gerenciador dos dados e da modelagem de dados em geoprocessamento, para abstrair a forma de armazenagem ao usuário. Em seguida, trata a funcionalidade de um banco de dados geográfico, os seus limites e cita exemplos de aplicações na agricultura. Sob o ponto vista conceitual, espera-se que o estudo contribua para o entendimento dos modelos de banco de dados e seu uso para geoprocessamento, na medida em que serão utilizadas teorias para descrever os modelos existentes, verifica como trata as características dos dados de agronegócio e georeferenciados, propondo o modelo mais adequado. Este banco de dados permitirá que uma grande gama de informações seja mais facilmente encontrada e armazenada, gerando relatórios e o trabalho posterior com os dados coletados. -------------------------------------------------This paper considers, from a conceptual quarrel, the model of predominant database for the agribusiness environment, relating it with the type of geographic data, that are important for the agropecuary. An analysis of the database models is made, specifically those used in the Geographical Information System (GIS), widely used in the agribusiness. For applications of this type is essencial to specify the definition of the data modeling. The paper contains the theoretical and conceptual aspects of Geoprocessing, database, data management system and the data modeling, to abstract the form of storage to the user. After that, it deals with the functionality of a geographic database, its limits and cites examples of applications in agriculture. From a conceptual point of view, it expects that the study contributes for the agreement of the models of database and its use for geoprocessing, in the measure where theories will be used to describe the existing models and to define the most adequate model. This database will allow to access information and become more easily searching and storing, to generate reports and the posterior work with the collected data.

description: A comprehensive helicopter flight dynamics code is developed based on the UH-60 helicopter and named Texas A\&M University Rotorcraft Analysis Code (TRAC). This is a complete software package, which could perform trim analysis to autonomous flight simulation and the capability to model any helicopter configuration. Different components of the helicopter such as the main rotor, tail rotor, fuselage, vertical tail, and horizontal tail are modeled individually as different modules in the code and integrated to develop a complete UH-60 model. Since the code is developed on a module basis, it can be easily modified to adopt another component or configure a different helicopter. TRAC can predict the dynamic responses of both the articulated rotor blades and the helicopter fuselage and yields the required pilot control inputs to achieve trim condition for different flight regimes such as hover, forward flight, coordinated turn, climb/descent, etc. These trim results are validated with the test data obtained from the UH-60 flight tests conducted by the US Army. Beyond trim analysis, TRAC can also generate linearized models at various flight conditions based on a first-order Taylor series expansion. The extracted linear models show realistic helicopter dynamic behavior and were used to simulate a fully autonomous flight that involves a UH-60 helicopter approaching a ship and landing on the deck by implementing a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) optimal controller.

description: As feiras livres municipais do semi-árido de Minas Gerais representam um mercado no qual os custos de entrada para a produção local são reduzidos ou praticamente inexistentes, delas participam vários produtores que ao mesmo tempo são vendedores e, por estarem intimamente ligadas à dinâmica de abastecimento e consumo, são mecanismos que promovem a inserção de parcela da população rural e urbana nos circuitos de trocas. Frente à possibilidade de representar um lócus para a implementação de políticas de desenvolvimento, o objetivo deste trabalho é caracterizar a feira livre do município de São Francisco, norte de Minas Gerais, investigando o perfil da oferta de produtos, dos consumidores, dos feirantes e gerar subsídios para a construção de uma política de apoio a este mercado e aos atores que dele participam. Os resultados mostram que predomina a presença de mulheres feirantes e que a oferta por ponto de venda é diversificada, mas com destaque para a comercialização de hortaliças e frutas. Embora possuam área de terra na zona rural, a maior parte dos feirantes tem a sua principal residência na cidade, o que marca um perfil específico destes. Quanto aos consumidores, constatou-se que a freqüência semanal à feira ainda não é uma prática amplamente difundida e que estes pertencem, em sua maioria, aos estratos cuja renda é próxima à média do município. No entanto ainda há problemas e possibilidades para ampliação da renda que circula na feira. Para isto são necessárias ações capazes de suprir os gargalos à integração de um número cada vez maior de famílias que produzem e vendem e também de freqüentadores, que atualmente representam apenas 2,2% do total da população urbana do município. Desta forma poderão ser criadas condições para a oferta e consumo da produção local, que por sua vez se reverterá em compra de produtos no comércio local, reduzindo assim a fuga imediata de divisas.------------------------------------------------This article is about the local market of São Francisco, northern of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where family farmers mainly offer products from agriculture and domestic factory, among others. The subject is get to know about the sellers, the products offered, the consumers and provided information to elaborate a development program to support this market and to promote the welfare.

description: This work introduces various approaches to include connected three-body terms in unitary many-body theories, focusing a representative example on the driven similarity renormalization group (DSRG). Starting from the least approximate method - the linearized DSRG truncated to one-, two-, and three-body operators [LDSRG(3)] - we develop several approximate LDSRG(3) models with reduced computational cost. Through a perturbative analysis, we motivate a family of iterative LDSRG(3)-$n$ and -$n'$ ($n=1,2,3,4$) methods that contain a subset of the LDSRG(3) diagrams. Among these variants, the LDSRG(3)-2 scheme has the same computational complexity of coupled cluster theory with singles, doubles, and triples (CCSDT), but it outperforms CCSDT in the accuracy of the predicted correlation energies. We also propose and implement two perturbative triples corrections based on the linearized DSRG truncated to one- and two-body operators augmented with recursive quadratic commutators [qDSRG(2)]. The resulting qDSRG(2)+(T) approach matches the accuracy of the "gold-standard" coupled cluster theory with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples model on the energetics of twenty-eight closed-shell atoms and small molecules.

description: Assess patient characteristics, real-world treatment patterns, and health care resource utilization (HCRU) among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in Japan. Patients diagnosed with PsA from April 2009 through July 2017 were identified from the Medical Data Vision database. Patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and HCRU were evaluated for these patients. A total of 639 patients met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis for patients with a PsA diagnosis. Over 12 months following diagnosis, patients received oral NSAIDs (61.7%), conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (55.1%), corticosteroids (35.1%), topical NSAIDs (34.0%), adalimumab (14.7%), infliximab (9.7%), secukinumab (5.0%), ustekinumab (4.5%), ixekizumab (1.6%), and golimumab (1.6%). A total of 227 (35.5%) patients initiated biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs) over the median 25.2 months of study follow-up. Compared with the overall group of patients diagnosed with PsA, patients who initiated bDMARDs had higher median total per-patient health care costs ($27,772 vs. $11,316), lower median per-patient hospitalization costs ($31,164 vs. $39,359), and fewer median hospital days per admission (8.0 vs. 12.0 days). This study presents knowledge of the current state of patient characteristics, treatment patterns, HCRU, and costs among patients with PsA in Japan. Considering the relatively recent guideline recommendations, the preliminary treatment patterns suggest physicians may be following treatment guidelines.

description: This paper provides collapses of massive, fully convective, and non-rotating white dwarfs (WDs) formed by accretion-induced collapse or merger-induced collapse and the subsequent explosions with the general relativistic neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations. We produce initial WDs in hydrostatic equilibrium, which have super-Chandrasekhar mass and are about to collapse. The WDs have masses of 1.6$M_\odot$ with different initial central densities specifically at $10^{10}$, $10^{9.6}$, $10^{9.3}$ and $10^{9.0}\,{\rm g\,cm^{-3}}$. First, we check whether initial WDs are stable without weak interactions. Second, we calculate the collapse of WDs with weak interactions. We employ hydrodynamics simulations with Newtonian gravity in the first and second steps. Third, we calculate the formation of neutron stars and accompanying explosions with general relativistic simulations. As a result, WDs with the highest density of $10^{10}\,{\rm g\,cm^{-3}}$ collapse not by weak interactions but by the photodissociation of the iron, and three WDs with low central densities collapse by the electron capture as expected at the second step and succeed in the explosion with a small explosion energy of $\sim 10^{48}$ erg at the third step. By changing the surrounding environment of WDs, we find that there is a minimum value of ejecta masses being $\sim 10^{-5}M_{\odot}$. With the most elaborate simulations of this kind so far, the value is one to two orders of magnitude smaller than previously reported values and is compatible with the estimated ejecta mass from FRB~121102.

description: We consider a zero-range process with two species of interacting particles. The steady state phase diagram of this model shows a variety of condensate phases in which a single site contains a finite fraction of all the particles in the system. Starting from a homogeneous initial distribution, we study the coarsening dynamics in each of these condensate phases, which is expected to follow a scaling law. Random walk arguments are used to predict the coarsening exponents in each condensate phase. They are shown to depend on the form of the hop rates and on the symmetry of the hopping dynamics. The analytic predictions are found to be in good agreement with the results of Monte Carlo simulations.

The formation of NGO inclusion policy in Japan’s official development assistance : the role of NGO’s the foreign ministry and business
Creators: name: Ozaki, Sakura
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have become an integral part of Japan's official development assistance (ODA) program since the end of the 1980s. The government subsidizes their activities, supports their capacity-building efforts and cooperate with them in carrying out and evaluating aid projects. This thesis examines why the policy of NGO inclusion in ODA has been formed. It focuses on NGOs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and the business sector to reveal that their respective initiatives based on differing motives have contributed to the making of such a policy. Specifically, MOFA's intention to utilize ODA as a foreign policy tool in the changing aid context and the growing consciousness of good corporate citizenship on the part of the business sector have made it imperative for them to seek partnership with NGOs, who have grown considerably in the Japanese society. The thesis then looks to the interaction among these actors, that is, how they cooperate in some cases and disagree in others. Although the policy of NGO inclusion has been endorsed by official policy forums and statements, the endorsement is not government-wide, nor has the traditional aid system with priority on economic objectives changed. By studying specific cases in which NGOs' humanitarian principles collide with official and business motives, the thesis identifies difficulties in the cross-sectoral cooperation. However, considering the new aid context and the fact that ODA is Japan's major national program, the participation of NGOs and, more broadly, the general public is needed for greater effectiveness and accountability in ODA. The thesis concludes by presenting some issues facing Japanese NGOs for future consideration.

description: O objetivo central deste trabalho é fazer uma retrospectiva histórica do processo de formação do Mercosul, o desenvolvimento das relações comerciais, bem como o conseqüente processo de convergência e divergência neste contexto. E ainda avaliar a eficácia do processo de interação no aumento das transações comerciais, tanto intra quanto extra-bloco. Nesta etapa, a característica que diferencia o outro é o processo de unificação dos estados. Desde o surgimento da idéia de integração das economias do Cone Sul da América Latina, ainda em meados dos anos-1980, o processo passou por várias fases. O primeiro edifício conhecido como o Mercosul, entre 1991 e 1998 caracteriza-se por um forte aumento do fluxo de comércio entre os países do bloco.---------------------------------------------The central objective of this paper is to make a historical retrospect of the process of formation of Mercosur, the development of trade relations, and the consequent process of convergence and divergence that is the context that. It is still assessing the effectiveness of the process of interaction in the increase of commercial transactions, both intra and extra-bloc. In this stage the feature that differentiates the other is the process of unification of the states. Since the emergence of the idea of integration of economies in the Southern Cone of Latin America, even in the mid-1980, the process has gone through several phases. The first building known as the Mercosur, between 1991 and 1998 is characterised by strong increase in the flow of trade between the countries of the bloc.
