Línguas brasileiras de imigração faladas em São Bento do Sul (SC): estratégias para revitalização e manutenção das línguas na localidade
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística.Esta dissertação analisa o cenário plurilíngüe do município de São Bento do Sul, localizado ao norte do estado de Santa Catarina. Na referida cidade, coexistem pelo menos cinco línguas brasileiras de imigração: Bayerisch, Hochdeutsch, ucraniano, polonês e italiano, além de português e LIBRAS, as duas línguas oficiais do Brasil. Estudaram-se mais profundamente neste trabalho os usos, as atitudes e as representações dos falantes com relação às duas línguas minoritárias alemãs: Bayerisch e Hochdeutsch. Para compreender esses aspectos, foi realizado um diagnóstico sociolingüístico que compreendeu três etapas de investigação: 1) entrevistas com alunos de escolas municipais; 2) entrevistas com falantes das duas línguas alemãs mencionadas, de forma a desenhar uma rede de relações, e 3) observação da circulação dessas línguas na cidade e também dos indivíduos, entidades e eventos incentivadores delas, ou seja, indicadores da vitalidade das duas línguas alemãs. Diante das situações de substituição e perda lingüística de todas as línguas minoritárias faladas em São Bento do Sul, propõem-se estratégias com o intuito de revitalizar e sustentar a manutenção dos idiomas na cidade.This thesis analyzes the plurilingual setting of São Bento do Sul, a city located in the north of the state of Santa Catarina. In the referred city, at least five Brazilian immigration languages coexist: Bayerisch, Hochdeutsch, Ukrainian, Polish and Italian, besides Portuguese and Brazilian Sign Language, both the official languages in Brazil. In this work it was more deeply studied the speakers# uses, attitudes and representations toward the two German minority languages: Bayerisch and Hochdeutsch. In order to understand these aspects, it was carried out a sociolinguist diagnostic comprising three investigation stages: 1) interviews with students from the city schools; 2) interviews with speakers of the German languages mentioned, intending to draw a relation network; and 3) observation of the circulation of those languages in the city as well as of the people, institutions, and events supporting them, that is, indicators of the vitality of those two German languages. Faced with the situations of substitution and loss of all minority languages spoken in São Bento do Sul, strategies aiming to revitalize and sustain the languages in the city are proposed
Influência do drawback no preço de exportação no setor moveleiro de São Bento do Sul
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Sócio-Econômico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração.São Bento do Sul, Rio Negrinho e Campo Alegre constituem-se o principal pólo moveleiro do Brasil no que tange às exportações. Tal êxito deve-se a inúmeros aspectos inter-relacionados. Como forma de compreender o desempenho exemplar das exportações deste pólo, o estudo se propôs a analisar um dos aspectos que influenciam as exportações, o preço de exportação. Por outro lado, o governo brasileiro busca incentivar a atividade exportadora através da concessão de incentivos, dentre estes, destaca-se o drawback um incentivo fiscal que objetiva desonerar de tributos os insumos importados que compoem o produto exportável. O presente estudo analisou a influência do drawback no preço de exportação das indústrias moveleiras do pólo de São Bento do Sul no ano de 2004. Para atingir os resultados, foram realizadas entrevistas às empresas da região que solicitaram o incentivo do drawback no ano de 2004, compreendendo 25 empresas, destas abordaram-se 15 empresas, constituindo assim o grupo de empresas analisadas. Com os dados obtidos possibilitou responder ao objetivo proposto. Somente no pólo de São Bento do Sul, 30% das empresas exportadoras de móveis solicitaram o benefício do drawback, percentual este acima da média de Santa Catarina que em 2004 foi de 18%. Este fato reflete a relevância e o alto grau de utilização do drawback pelas empresas desta região. Os principais insumos importados foram cola e madeira, itens importantes na composição dos móveis exportados. O mercado interno atende a demanda dos demais insumos, porém em virtude da redução de custos provenientes da suspensão dos impostos na importação, torna-se interessante a importação de insumos, principalmente pela suspensão do ICMS. Ao adquirir os insumos no mercado interno, as empresas pagam os impostos e depois os recuperam como créditos fiscais, o que na prática é moroso e dispendioso. Como conseqüência destas dificuldades na recuperação dos créditos fiscais, percebeu-se que o índice de repasse dos custos dos tributos ao preço de exportação é maior se a aquisição dos insumos se dá no mercado interno, nos casos de insumos beneficiados pelo drawback o custo do tributo não é repassado ao preço de exportação pela maioria das empresas, o que reflete no preço, reduzindo-o e assim possibilitando uma melhor posição competitiva no exterior

Produção de mudas certificadas de videira - Vinícola San Michele (Rodeio-SC).
Get PDFTCC (graduação em Agronomia) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Agrárias, 2007Para o desenvolvimento de uma vitivinicultura rentável, é fator preponderante que os vinhedos sejam implantados com mudas de boa qualidade, com sanidade e pureza varietal comprovada e dentro dos padrões estabelecidos pela legislação oficial. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo descrever a técnica de produção de mudas de videira, através da enxertia de mesa. A produção da muda por enxertia é mais recomendada, mesmo quando se trata de uvas comuns, pois a utilização do porta-enxerto, além de assegurar um controle mais eficiente da filoxera, pode agregar outras vantagens, como melhorar a qualidade da uva, conferir maior resistência a doenças de solo, maior adaptação a diferentes tipos de solos, maior precocidade, etc. incluindo o manejo adequado dos matrizeiros; a coleta, a conservação e o preparo do material de propagação; a execução da enxertia e parafinagem; o manuseio e controle dos enxertos durante e após a forçagem; e, o bom manejo das mudas no viveiro.A certificação das mudas produzidas é um processo importante para assegurar a qualidade e identidade do material de propagação. Abrange todo o processo de monitoramento da cadeia produtiva da muda, sendo que o setor público é o responsável pela fiscalização da produção e comercio das mudas; com a possibilidade do setor privado realizar a certificação da sua própria produção através do seu responsável técnico
Contabilidade e competitividade: caso da G2E, Lda
Get PDFMestrado em Economia da EmpresaA contabilidade transformou-se progressivamente numa fonte de informação sobre a situação da empresa e o desenvolvimento da sua actividade. Esta informação é fundamental para a elaboração da análise financeira que traduz a situação económica e financeira empresarial, permitindo ao analista concluir sobre o volume de negócios, o investimento feito pela empresa, a produtividade, a sua situação face a terceiros e as oportunidades de crescimento ao nível da competitividade.
A competitividade é cada vez mais uma preocupação e um objectivo das empresas. Este é um conceito bastante complexo, e como tal, para a medição da competitividade empresarial é necessário a ajuda de alguns indicadores e de um termo de comparação. O termo de comparação utilizado neste relatório é o sector de actividades de contabilidade, auditoria e consultoria fiscal onde a empresa se insere.
É possível saber se uma empresa é competitiva através da sua informação contabilística. No final do capítulo 2 são referidas algumas formas de concluir sobre a competitividade de uma empresa: pela qualidade de recursos humanos que detém, recorrendo a indicadores financeiros (rácios), custos de produção, produtividade e Balanced Scorecard. O método do cálculo de indicadores financeiros é o método seguido para a avaliação da G2E enquanto empresa competitiva.
Recorrendo aos dados do balanço e da demonstração dos resultados, elaborase o mapa de rácios. O balanço, a demonstração dos resultados e o mapa de rácios são a informação contabilística e financeira usada na elaboração da análise financeira dinâmica da G2E.
É feita uma análise sectorial com dados estatísticos sobre a produtividade, o investimento e a formação do capital humano para concluir sobre a competitividade da G2E face ao sector de actividade e posteriormente face a Portugal e à Europa.
Com base na análise referida, concluiu-se que a empresa em questão é competitiva e eficiente no mercado em que actua.
ABSTRACT: Accounting has gradually became an information source on a firm’s economic and financial situation and the way they has been growing. This is crucial for the preparation of financial analysis that reflects the firm’s economic situation and financial business allowing analysis to conclude on turnover, investment, productivity, the firm’s situation relatively to others and growth opportunities
level of competitiveness.
Competitiveness is increasingly a concern and firm’s purpose. As it is a rather complex concept, one needs for the measurement of corporate
competitiveness, the help of some indicators and a point of comparison. The sector of accounting, auditing and tax consultancy is that point of comparison.
In chapter 2, are listed some ways to conclude on the competitiveness of firms: its production costs, quality of human resource, financial indicators (ratios), productivity and Balanced Scorecard. Financial Ratios Method is used to conclude G2E’s competitiveness.
With accounting information (balance sheet) is possible to do the map of ratios.
In this report a financial analysis ratios method, based on data from the firm and one’s experience as stagiaire. There is a sectoral analysis with statistical data on productivity, investment and human capital, which concludes on the
competitiveness of G2E, Lda in the accounting sector, as well as in the context of Portugal and Europe.
Based on this analysis, we concluded that G2E, Lda is competitive ad efficient in the market it acts
Confissão e autoficção na obra de Reinaldo Santos Neves
Get PDFIf in 19th and 20th centuries the notion of individual had been shaken by the thoughts of intellectuals like Friedrich Nietzsche, the image of the author has been continuously controlling literary works until the mid-1960s, when it also has suffered a process of decentralization, triggered by the texts of scholars like Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault. Nevertheless, nowadays the author comes back to the stage without its late oppressive presence: after some replacing and resizing, now he participates on the planning of the traps that deceive the reader with referrals to reality that are supposedly true and that mix themselves with fictional material. In autofiction, term coined by Serge Doubrovsky in 1970, the hypothetical boundaries between reality and fiction are erased and the impasse and indecision, even in the face of texts that are self-proclaimed autobiographies, do prevail. Although autofiction has its grounds in French theoretical thought, studies on this literary practice progress in the works of Brazilian authors, as it can be seen in the rising number of texts being published; courses being held; and of researchers taking the matter into account. In this sense, this dissertation proposes to adjust its focus to the work of Reinaldo Santos Neves in an attempt to grasp what lies beyond the coincidence of the name the author, narrator and character have, an intricate game that dim the boundaries between reality and fiction, suspending the beliefs that are pretentiously maintained in autobiographical accounts. In this way, the work of Reinaldo will be analyzed in order to identify how the author biographical data commingle with fictional elements, so that this imaginary other self cannot establish bounds with a solid and stable individual, but that it will nevertheless remain inside an unresolvable zone, where the traps hind the reader of leaning on any alleged truth.Se entre os séculos XIX e XX a noção de sujeito sofreu um abalo por meio de pensadores como Friedrich Nietzsche, a figura do autor continuou dominando as obras literárias pelo menos até a década de 1960, quando também passou por um processo de descentralização por conta de trabalhos de estudiosos como Roland Barthes e Michel Foucault. Hoje, porém, o autor volta à ribalta sem a presença opressiva de outrora: após um reposicionamento e um redimensionamento diante de sua obra, ele agora participa da elaboração de armadilhas que iludem o leitor com supostas referências à realidade que se misturam à matéria ficcional.
Dentro da autoficção, prática nomeada por Serge Doubrovsky em 1970, as hipotéticas fronteiras entre o real e a ficção são apagadas, prevalecendo o impasse e a indecisão mesmo diante de textos que se autoproclamam autobiográficos. Embora a matriz teórica da autoficção seja francesa, avançam cada vez mais os estudos sobre essa prática na obra de autores brasileiros, como se nota no crescente número de publicações, cursos e pesquisadores que se lançam a estudar este assunto. Nesse sentido, a proposta desta dissertação é ajustar o foco para a obra de Reinaldo Santos Neves tentando enxergar, para muito além de uma simples coincidência entre o nome do autor, do narrador e do personagem, um elaborado jogo que obnubila as supostas fronteiras entre verdade e ficção, pondo em suspensão as certezas que pretensamente se tem em relatos autobiográficos convencionais. Dessa maneira, analisar-se-á ao longo da obra de Reinaldo como dados biográficos do autor se confundem com elementos ficcionais de modo que esse outro eu criado não consiga fincar raízes num sujeito sólido e estável, mas que permaneça dentro de uma zona do indecidível, onde as armadilhas impedem que o leitor se apoie em alguma suposta verdade

It is a great pleasure for the author to dedicate this species to Dr. Ana Ramos of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography, Vigo, and leader of the ECOAFRIK research team, in appreciation and recognition of her dedication to improve the knowledge of the benthic fauna of African coasts and for her inestimable support throughout the years. Distribution. Presently known only from the type locality: Enseada de Corais da Matiota, Porto Grande Bay, São Vicente Island, Cabo Verde. Biology. Typton anaramosae sp. nov. is, like all other species in the genus, an obligate associate of demosponges; all five specimens of the type series were extracted from unidentified sponges of yellowish-brown color and very elastic texture, probably belonging to the genus Spongionella Bowerbank. The irritated shrimps produced a snapping sound by rapidly closing the dactylus of the major second pereiopod (major chela). The pollex of this appendage has a deep groove accommodating the thickened, almost bulging cutting edge of the dactylus. Typton spongicola and T. fapespae Almeida, Anker & Mantelatto, 2014, both having a very similar configuration of the major second pereiopod fingers, are also known to produce snapping sounds (Almeida et al. 2014). Remarks. Only six species of Typton are known to have the distal part of the outer margin of the uropodal exopod serrated, viz T. spongicola (eastern Atlantic), T. holthuisi (central Atlantic), T. fapespae and T. prionurus (western Atlantic), T. serratus and T. granulosus (eastern Pacific). Typton anaramosae sp. nov. doesn’t seem to be closely related to T. spongicola, T. holthuisi and T. fapespae for it can be readily distinguished from them by the absence of a median tooth on the posterodorsal margin on the sixth pleonite. Furthermore, the serration of the uropodal exopod is restricted to a relatively small area in these three species, whilst it is over a much larger area in the new species; in addition, the number of teeth is also higher in the new species compared to the other three (cf. Bruce 2009; De Grave 2010; Almeida et al. 2014). Typton anaramosae sp. nov. is morphologically more similar to T. granulosus, T. prionurus and T. serratus, forming a distinct species group within the genus, characterized by the outer margin of the uropodal exopod serrated in at least its distal third and the posterodorsal margin of the sixth pleonite without median tooth. Whether this species group is monophyletic remains to be tested by a phylogenetic analysis. Typton anaramosae sp. nov. can be distinguished from T. prionurus by (1) the antennal peduncle reaching the distal margin of the second antennular article instead of reaching the end of the antennular peduncle in the latter species (cf. Fig. 1C; Holthuis 1951b, pl. 52, fig. a; Pachelle et al. 2015, fig. 1a–b); (2) the mesial surface of the major chela palm bearing several minute granules, which are absent in T. prionurus (cf. Fig. 2C; Pachelle et al. 2015, fig. 1h); (3) the much higher number of teeth in the serrated margin of the uropodal exopod (cf. Fig. 3 K–N; Holthuis 1951b, pl. 52, fig. c; Pachelle et al. 2015, fig. 1m); (4) the slenderer first pereiopod, exceeding the antennular peduncle by the distal third of the merus, instead of by the length of the carpus in T. prionurus (cf. Fig. 1I; Holthuis 1951b: pl. 52, fig. h); (5) the relatively shorter first pereiopod fingers, with finger-palm ratio equal to 0.45 in the new species versus fingers slightly more than half length of the palm in T. prionurus; (6) the dactylus of second major cheliped proportionally shorter in comparison to the palm length (0.34–0.37 vs. 0.5); (7) the scaphocerite terminally rounded and reaching to about 0.3 length of first article of the antennal peduncle vs. pointed and reaching distal third of first article of the antennal peduncle in T. prionurus (cf. Fig. 1G; Holthuis 1951b, pl. 52, fig. e); (8) the carpus of second major cheliped slightly more produced ventrally, being 1.3–1.4 times as long as maximal width vs. about 1.7 times as long as maximal width in T. prionurus; (9) the dactylar corpus of the third pereiopod with denticles restricted to its distal half vs. extending for almost its entire length in T. prionurus (cf. Fig. 3C; Pachelle et al. 2015, fig. 1l); (10) the third pereiopod dactylus stouter; and (11) the third pereiopod carpus somewhat larger in comparison to the propodus (0.95 vs. 0.83) and merus (0.84 vs. 0.71) (cf. Fig. 3A; Holthuis 1951b: pl. 52, fig. k). Typton anaramosae sp. nov. can be distinguished from T. granulosus by (1) the slenderer first pereiopod, with the carpus being about 6.6 and the merus 7.4 times longer than wide vs. 4.7 and 6.4 times longer than wide, respectively, in T. granulosus; (2) the much higher number of teeth on the serrated margin of the uropodal exopod (cf. Fig. 3 K–N; Ayón-Parente et al. 2015, fig. 5D–I); (3) the presence of several minute denticles on the unguis of the third to fifth pereiopod dactylus (cf. Fig. 3 B–C, E, G; Ayón-Parente et al. 2015, fig. A–F); (4) the relatively length of the scaphocerite, reaching to about 0.3 length of first article of the antennal peduncle vs. reaching to its half-length in T. granulosus (cf. Fig. 1G; Ayón-Parente et al. 2015, Fig. 2B); (5) the somewhat broader telson, about twice as long as wide in the new species vs. 2.5 times longer than wide in T. granulosus; and (6) the smaller spines on the dorsal surface of the telson (0.08 of telson length in T. anaramosae sp. nov. vs. 0.14 in T. granulosus) (cf. Fig. 1E; Ayón- Parente et al. 2015, fig. 1G). Finally, T. anaramosae nov. sp. can be easily distinguished from T. serratus, for instance, by (1) the second pair of dorsal spines of the telson set in its posterior half vs. both pairs closely set together in the anterior quarter of the telson in T. serratus (cf. Fig. 1E; Holthuis 1951b: pl. 53, fig. c); (2) the slenderer first pereiopod, exceeding antennular peduncle by the distal third of the merus vs. exceeding that article by only part of carpus in T. serratus; (3) the major cheliped palm slightly convex on dorsal and ventral margins vs. with straight margins in T. serratus (cf. Fig. 2 A–C; Holthuis 1951b: pl. 53, fig. i); (4) the uropodal exopod serration with more smaller teeth and starting at about 0.6 length of the outer (lateral) margin vs. with fewer and larger teeth, starting at mid-length of the outer margin in T. serratus (the uropodal exopod also being broader and more ovate in the new species) (cf. Fig. 3 K–N; Holthuis 1951b: pl. 53, fig. c); and (5) the noticeably shorter rostrum (cf. Fig. 1 A–B; Holthuis 1951b, pl. 53, fig. b).

Caracterização da estrutura sub-superficial da ilha do Faial (Açores)
No full textThe aim of this communication is to present the velocity models of propagation of seismic waves P and S using geophysical methods, such as refraction surveys, MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves), and Horizontal-to-Vertical spectral ratio ambient-noise in Faial Island (Azores). After determining the velocity models and ratios H/V, the results were compared for the same location, with previous works of ambient-noise and with lithology of the island. These results providing important physical parameters for a near surface characterization of the soil structure and to predict seismic ground motion in this region
Measurement of Sugar Cane Chain in Brazil
Get PDFDespite the historical importance of the sugarcane business in Brazil, which is as old in the country as its colonization, it has never been "photographed in widescreen". This research on the mapping and quantification of business generated in the sugarcane chain in 2008 for the first time gives the scale of the entire sugarcane productive chain in Brazil. The sector now shows the numbers that indicate the industry's role in building the country's GDP, as well as in job creation, tax generation, and the distribution (capillary) of economic activities. By applying the method Strategic Management of Agro-Systems (GESIS), developed by the first author, Professor Marcos Fava Neves, coordinator of the Marketing & Strategic Projects and Research Center, USP (MARKESTRAT), it was found that the sugarcane sector GDP is around $28.1 billion USD, equivalent to almost 2% of the Brazilian GDP or almost all of the income generated in a year in a country like Uruguay. The majority of the industry's inputs are local, explaining its favorable trade balance situation. A series of new products has become increasingly more important and a major transformation is going on in this sector that has one of the oldest and, at the same time, most modern plants with regard to clean energy on the planet.chain mapping, chain quantification, agro-industry system, sugar cane sector, ethanol, sugar, Crop Production/Industries, Industrial Organization,
