Impactos da indicação geográfica na sustentabilidade regional: estudo de caso na região de Salinas
No full textDissertação (mestrado profissional) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Ambiental, Florianópolis, 2013As Indicações Geográficas confirmam atributos de produtos e serviços circunscritos ao seu território de origem, outorgando-lhes reputação e, concomitantemente, impulsionando-lhes visibilidade e reconhecimento internacional. Nesse processo, elas estimulam o desenvolvimento econômico e a manutenção, quando não o resgate, das tradições e cultura das comunidades envolvidas. Sob esse prisma, a Indicação Geográfica (IG) corrobora para a sustentabilidade, a partir das características locais e organização e compromisso inerentes ao processo de obtenção da Indicação Geográfica. Para verificar essa hipótese, foi realizado um estudo de caso focado na Cachaça de Salinas, que obteve Indicação Geográfica em 2012 para a cachaça artesanal da região. O estudo envolveu quatro etapas: a) revisão bibliográfica; b) pesquisa no portal do Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial, órgão responsável pela Indicação Geográfica no Brasil; c) identificação dos principais atores; d) coleta de informações e dados com consultores, técnicos dos órgãos federais responsáveis pelo apoio e pela concessão do registro, representantes de entidades de classe apoiadoras da iniciativa e lideranças locais. Como resultado, foi possível verificar a legitimidade da mobilização em torno da obtenção da Indicação Geográfica, envolvendo produtores, Administração Pública, entidades de apoio e instituições de ensino e pesquisa. O estudo de caso evidenciou a falta de indicadores e o estágio embrionário das Indicações Geográficas no Brasil, que ainda não fornecem subsídios suficientes para aferir a consecução de seus objetivos, sendo necessário construir indicadores e realizar benchmarking para verificar sucessos e pontos passíveis de melhoria, respeitando sempre o ritmo e vontade locais.Abstract : The Geographical Indications confirm attributes of products and services found in their original territory, granting them reputation and alongside boosting their visibility and international acknowledgment. In this process, they stimulate economical development as well as the preservation, when not the recovery of cultures and traditions of the involved communities. From this perspective, the Geographical Indication (GI) corroborates with sustainability, through the local characteristics, organization and commitment inherent to the procedure of obtaining the Geographical Indication. To confirm this hypothesis, we performed a study focused on the cachaça of Salinas, which achieved Geographical Indication in 2012 for the region's artisanal cachaça. The procedure included four steps: a) bibliographical review; b) research on the portal of the National Industrial Property Institute, which is the entity responsible for the Geographical Indication in Brazil; c) identification of the main parts; d) data survey with consultants and representatives of the classes that support the initiative. As a result, it became possible to identify the mobilization of producers, public administration, support entities and education and research institutions in order to obtain the Geographic Indication. The case study shows the lack of indications and the emergent stage of the Geographic Indications in Brazil, which still doesn?t provide sufficient aid for the accomplishment of its goals, making it necessary to create indicators and perform benchmarking in order to verify success and issues to be improved, always respecting locals' wishes and pace
ESTIMATING THE IMPACTS OF DIFFERING PRICE-RISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ON THE NET INCOME OF SALINAS VALLEY LETTUCE PRODUCERS: A STOCHASTIC SIMULATION APPROACH
No full textWhile government safety-net programs are used to mitigate the price risk for commodity producers, limited programs exist for specialty crop producers. Specialty crop producers utilize forward contracts to reduce downside price risk. In order to estimate the method of price-risk management, if any, that is preferable to selling at market determined prices, a stochastic simulation model was constructed. The completed simulation model was used to estimate probability distributions for Salinas Valley net income under different pricing scenarios. Probabilities of reaching various net income thresholds were compared. Results indicate that Salinas Valley lettuce producers should maximize profitability by using forward contracts.Farm Management, Risk and Uncertainty,
Gender Equality from a European Perspective: Myth and Reality
No full textIn the past 50 years, significant progress in women’s equality has been made worldwide. Western countries, particularly European countries, have implemented initiatives to attain a more gender-balanced workforce with the introduction of family friendly policies, by trying to narrow the gender pay gap and by promoting women’s career progression. In academia, however, fewer women reach top leadership positions than those in the political arena. These findings suggest that academia needs to carefully evaluate why these new policies have not been very effective. In this NeuroView, we report on the progress made in higher education, the shortcomings, and how new initiatives hold great promise for improving gender equality in academia around the globe
Political Discourse and Neoliberal Reform in Mexico 1988-1994.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the impact of economic liberalism on the dominant source of
legitimation in Mexico - nationalism - during the presidency of Carlos Salinas de
Gortari (1988-94). It asks whether national ideology remained of value as a
legitimising force given the ways in which neoliberalism challenged its social rationale
and looks at the search for a new basis of consensus. The thesis argues that salinismo
continued to find nationalism valuable to maintaining consensus by providing a
formula which could mediate rival individual and social claims. It analyses
nationalism through the content attributed to the individual and the social in political
discourse of the period.
Chapter 1 argues that a relationship has existed between political economy and
national ideology since Mexico's independence. This has been determined by elites
seeking to establish a state sufficiently stable to enable economic development. In the
20th century, conceptions of nationality provided criteria for "nation-building", the
creation of an integrated citizenry free of divisions which threatened stability. Chapter
2 argues that Salinas continued to find nationalism of legitimising value to his own
state reforms, but adapted it to neoliberal priorities.
Chapters 3 and 4 focus on how Salinas dealt in two instances - landholding and
free trade - with conflicts generated by rival conceptions within nationalism and
neoliberalism of the individual and sovereignty. Chapter 5 examines how intellectuals
reassessed nationalist ideology, and how the new models of community they imagined
reflected the search for a legitimising formula functional to the new political economy.
Chapters 6 and 7 argue that opposition parties on Left and Right also sought such a
formula and assessedth e need to mediate individual and social claims.
The thesis contributes to an understanding of the role nationalism has played in
Mexico's capitalist development, shedding light upon its fate within accelerated
modernisation
Carol Rama e Louise Bourgeois tra anni Trenta e Quaranta, un confronto possibile, in Le donne nell’ecosistema europeo delle arti (1800-1945), a cura di Concha Lomba Serrano, Rafael Gil Salinas, Cristina Costanzo
No full textIl contributo indaga le coincidenze e le differenze nella produzione artistica di Carol Rama e Louise Bourgeois in virtù della loro costante attenzione al corpo, al trauma e all’autobiografia e si concentra sulla loro produzione degli anni Trenta e Quaranta del Novecento che, a lungo, è rimasta all’ombra della loro più nota ricerca maturata dagli anni Sessanta in poi, quando si assiste a un cambiamento profondo del ruolo dell’artista-donna.
Questo intervento include, tuttavia, un’incursione negli anni compresi tra il 1979 e il 1982, che si rende necessaria ai fini di una più ampia comprensione della loro produzione giovanile, grazie a importanti riscoperte.
Le risonanze tra le ricerche anticonformiste e libere di Carol Rama
e Louise Bourgeois, configuratesi come tali già negli anni Quaranta e sempre
orientate al dialogo con le ricerche successive, e in particolare con quelle sviluppate tra gli anni Settanta e Ottanta del Novecento, infatti, sono state interessate da una continua rilettura, grazie anche alla nuova attenzione riservata alle ricerche femminili da grandi protagoniste della critica d’arte quali Lea Vergine e Lucy Lippard in un prolifico e vitale ecosistema delle arti.The contribution investigates the coincidences and differences in the artistic production of Carol Rama and Louise Bourgeois, who share a constant attention to the body, trauma and autobiography. It focuses on their production from the 1930s and 1940s which, for a long time, remained in the shadow of their more famous research developed from the 1960s onwards, when there was a profound change in the role of the female artist.
This article includes, however, a foray into the years between 1979 and 1982, for the purposes of a broader understanding of their youthful production.
The resonances between Louise Bourgeois and Carol Rama's nonconformist research, already established in the 1940s and always open to dialogue with the research developed between the 1970s and 1980s, have in fact been affected by continuous reinterpretation, due to the new attention paid to female research by great art critics such as Lea Vergine and Lucy Lippard in a prolific and vital ecosystem of the arts
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
