    O que buscam os fora-da-estrada?: um estudo sociológico sobre o consumo de carros off-road

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2010O presente trabalho busca compreender, em termos sociológicos, o que motiva os brasileiros a optarem por carros fora-da-estrada. Esse nicho de mercado vem crescendo consideravelmente nos últimos dez anos, tanto em números de venda, quanto na quantidade de modelos que se enquadram nessa classificação. Buscou-se aqui, a partir de entrevistas com os próprios consumidores desses veículos, identificar as relações sociais que se dão a partir dessas escolhas de consumo. O embasamento teórico se constitui a partir de conceitos e críticas oriundas da Nova Sociologia Econômica, com destaque para a obra de Viviana Zelizer. Paralelamente, as contribuições de Alan Warde, que aproximam a teoria das práticas da Sociologia do Consumo, também foram importantes como referencial da pesquisa. Por fim, foi possível constatar que esses consumidores se importam mais com fatores como conforto, segurança e poder, do que com as potencialidades fora-da-estrada propriamente ditas. Logo, a escolha por esses carros te mais a ver com a forma de se relacionar com os outros indivíduos do que com um uso autêntico fora-da-estrada

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Arquitetura e UrbanismoA paisagem é o resultado da relação entre os elementos naturais e construídos ao longo do tempo, sendo a estrada um elemento construído que faz parte da paisagem e a torna acessível. O tema vem sendo trabalhado em diversos países que apontam a necessidade de realizar estudos de paisagem em todo o processo de projeto da estrada, desde o planejamento até o gerenciamento. No entanto, no Brasil, detectaram-se poucos estudos sobre o tema e constatou-se que a paisagem é considerada em etapas mais avançadas do processo de projeto, adquirindo, dessa forma, um caráter de ajardinamento e embelezamento. Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo caracterizar a paisagem do trecho Norte da rodovia BR-101, em Santa Catarina, adotando o conceito de paisagem cultural, que permite relacionar o suporte natural e os processos humanos, por meio de integração simbólica e cênica. A BR-101/N-SC desenvolve-se através do litoral catarinense que abriga o Bioma Mata Atlântica. O trecho inicia-se na divisa com o Paraná (km 0), no município de Garuva e vai até a interseção com a BR-282 (km 218,5), no município de Palhoça. Percorre dezesseis municípios: Garuva, Joinville, Araquari, Barra Velha, Piçarras, Penha, Navegantes, Itajaí, Balneário Camboriú, Camboriú, Itapema, Porto Belo, Tijucas, Biguaçu, São José e Palhoça. O estudo é realizado do geral para o particular, em aproximações sucessivas, aplicando o método de análise histórico-estrutural na análise de cartas temáticas, bibliografia e iconografia. Ao final destas análises foram identificadas três unidades de paisagem e dezoito trechos homogêneos distintos. Na maioria dos trechos estudados o ambiente e a paisagem foram desconsiderados na abertura da estrada. Conclui-se pela necessidade de atuação do arquiteto desde o início do processo, como membro da equipe que desenvolve o planejamento e o projeto da estrada, atuando nas diversas etapas e sempre realçando os aspectos paisagísticos. Conclui-se, por fim, que a paisagem não foi considerada como objetivo no planejamento e projeto da estrada.Landscape is the result of the relation between natural and constructed elements over time, and roads are built elements that are part of the landscape and make it accessible. This subject has been developed in several countries indicating the need of landscape studies during all the project process of the road, from planning to management. However, in Brazil, there are few studies about this subject and it was noticed that landscape is only distinguished in advanced stages of the process, and after decisions are consolidated that#s the reason why it acquires a character of garden design or ornamentation. The objective of this work is to feature the North section#s landscape of the BR-101 road in Santa Catarina, adopting the concept of cultural landscape, which permits the ratio among natural support and human processes, through symbolic and scenic integration. The BR-101/N-SC road runs along the coast of Santa Catarina, which includes the Atlantic Forest Biome. This section begins in the border line with Paraná (Km 0), in Garuva city and ends in the intersection with BR-282 (Km 218,5), in Palhoça. It crosses 16 cities: Garuva, Joinville, Araquari, Barra Velha, Piçarras, Penha, Navegantes, Itajaí, Balneário Camboriú, Camboriú, Itapema, Porto Belo, Tijucas, Biguaçu, São José and Palhoça. The study is conducted from general to private, in successive approximations, using the reviewing historicalstructural method in analysis of thematic maps, bibliography and iconography. At the end of these analyzes was identified three landscape units and eighteen distinct homogeneous sections. In most of the sections was studied the environment and the landscape were disregarded at the opening road. It concludes the action necessity by the architect since the beginning of the process, as a member of the team that develops the planning and the design of the highway, operating at various stages and always highlighting landscape features. Concluded, finally, that the landscape was not considered as the main goal at the planning and project

    This article describes the argumentative structure of Hayek on the relationship between power to tax and redistribution. It is observed throughout its work giving special attention to two works: The Constitution of Liberty (1959) and Law, Legislation and Liberty, vol3; The Political Order of Free People, 1979) Hayek describes one of the arguments most complete information bout SFP progressive tax systems (progressive tax). According to the author the history of the tax progressive system, works against such a tax model and deploys a variety of arguments in his favorite spot by critics: liberal democracy.Power to Tax, Redistribution, Government, Progressive Tax, Democracy, Hayek

    Returnability in complex directed networks (digraphs)

    No full text
    The concept of returnability is proposed for complex directed networks (digraphs). It can be seen as a generalization of the concept of reciprocity. Two measures of the returnability are introduced. We establish closed formulas for the calculation of the returnability measures, which are also related to the digraph spectrum. The two measures are calculated for simple examples of digraphs as well as for real-world complex directed networks and are compared with the reciprocity
