The Wine Attributes with the Greatest Influence in the Process of Consumer Choice in Spain
No full textThe commercialisation of wine in Spain is problematic due to two concrete circumstances: the decrease in wine consumption because of a consumer shift toward substitute drinks and the greater presence of national and foreign wine in the interior market, which involves an increase in business competitiveness. The increase in competitiveness of quality Spanish wine depends on producing enterprises’ knowledge of wine consumer preferences so they can offer consumers what they demand. In order to respond to this matter and better adapt supply, 421 wine consumers were surveyed using the Best-Worst Scaling methodology. Various segmentations were also made by consumer income and age groups. The results indicate that the two main attributes which condition consumers in choosing wine are the region of origin and having tasted it previously. The region of origin attribute is valued in general by consumers over 34 years old who have a monthly family income above 1,500 €. The attribute of having tasted it before, which on many occasions is associated with the price attribute, is valued particularly by younger consumers and those with lower incomes.Consumer behaviour, Wine attributes, Food Marketing, Consumer/Household Economics,

How corporate governance and globalization can run afoul of the law and good practices in business: The Enron's disgraceful affair.
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to set out the Enron’s demise into the perspective of Corporate and Global Governance. To accomplish this target, the incremental cash flow model is expanded to give room for governance issues, while a functional introduction to information sets is developed, including bounded rationality, asymmetric information, opportunistic behavior, transaction costs and agency problems. Then, corporate governance is linked to globalization by means of some recent approaches that go beyond a narrow economic mindset to encompass a far-reaching dynamics. Taking advantage of such background, the Enron’s story is tracked down over a span of fifteen years since its starting day to its bankruptcy filing. Leading events are explained from corporate and global governance viewpoints, while an in-depth analysis is worked out on Enron’s complex game of deception and breach of contracts: the outrageous affiliated limited partnerships, the lavish pay package to its executives, the involvement with global governance through the Indian affair and the Taliban connection. It is for the incremental cash flow model to explain malfeasance with cash flows from assets, and how cash flows to creditors were actually contrived. Furthermore, to highlight how cash flows were swindled from stockholders and, finally, how Enron made wheeling and dealing with cash flows on behalf of its managers.corporate governance, global governance, incremental cash flow model, globalization, information sets, good practices.

Elaboração da base de dados geográficos de Assú-RN com o uso de geotecnologias livres
No full textGeoprocessing is the set of techniques used for the treatment of spatial information or georeferenced data. These techniques include Cartography, Conventional Topography, Global Positioning System (GPS), Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS), starting from the use of simple tools and instruments to the use of positioning satellites. However, the use of geoprocessing techniques is difficult to access in terms of cost or difficulty of use. In this context, this work aims to promote the updating of the cartographic base of the municipality of Assú-RN from free data processed in a free GIS environment. Academic works, documents from specific websites and available books that addressed the topic for study were used as a source for analysis. In this way, it was possible to obtain files for mapping in different segments that help the municipality in its urban management. Thus, it was possible to observe that the use of geoprocessing techniques, through free software is feasible and important for obtaining information, enabling the updating of the cartographic database of small cities.O geoprocessamento é o conjunto de técnicas utilizadas para o tratamento de informações espaciais ou dados georreferenciados. Essas técnicas têm em sua constituição a Cartografia, Topografia convencional, Sistema de Posicionamento Global (GPS), Sensoriamento Remoto e Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG`s), partindo da utilização de ferramentas e instrumentos simples até a utilização de satélites de posicionamento. Porém o uso das técnicas de geoprocessamento mostra-se de difícil acesso quanto seu custo ou dificuldade de utilização. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo promover a atualização da base cartográfica do município de Assú-RN a partir de dados gratuitos processados em ambiente SIG livre. Foi utilizado como fonte para análise os trabalhos acadêmicos, documentos de sites específicos e livros disponíveis que abordaram o tema para estudo. Desse modo, foi possível obter arquivos para a realização de mapeamento em diferentes seguimentos que ajudem o município em sua gestão urbana. Dessa maneira, foi possível observar que o uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento, através de softwares livres é viável e importante para a obtenção de informações, possibilitando a atualização da base de dados cartográficos de municípios de pequeno porte.Trabalho não financiado por agência de fomento, ou autofinanciad

A new species of Heterocotyle Scott, 1904 (Monogenea: Monocotylidae) from the gills of Dasyatis guttata (Dasyatidae) in southwestern Atlantic waters off Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
No full textHeterocotyle sulamericana n. sp. is described from the gills of Dasyatis guttata (Bloch & Schneider) caught off the coast of Brazil near Rio de Janeiro. This species can be distinguished from all other members of Heterocotyle Scott, 1904 by a combination of the morphology of the male copulatory organ, which is a short, slightly curved, sclerotised tube with no accessory piece, and the haptor, which has a single ridge surmounting all septa. This is the first Heterocotyle species to be described from the southwestern Atlantic.Cláudia Portes Santos, Antônia Lúcia Santos, Rodolfo Cunha, Leslie A. Chishol
