O IMPACTO DA COOPERAÇÃO GLOBAL NA ESTRATÉGIA DE COMPETITIVIDADE REGIONAL DAS IES NO MERCOSUL.
A competição globalizada das Instituições de Ensino Superior - IES na área de educação em Gestão destaca-se a cada dia pela oferta de programas de gestão para universidades consorciadas e pela procura por profissionais e empresas na busca de habilidades de gestão globalizadas para atuação no Brasil, Mercado Comum do Cone Sul - MERCOSUL ou em qualquer região no exterior. O aumento da competitividade força o surgimento de estratégias de consolidação da oferta de programas de gestão para universidades consorciadas através de parcerias para o sucesso. Urge, assim, um modelo de cooperação interinstitucional criando uma vantagem competitiva globalizada, com perfil multicultural. A necessidade prática de cooperação vivenciada ao longo dos últimos anos em projetos de cooperação entre países da América Latina e a Europa, entre os próprios países da União Européia e, ainda, dos Estados Unidos da América com outros países, servirá de motivação para esta pesquisa em busca de uma melhor forma de integrar conteúdo, contexto e inovação em um método, uma didática para suprir a deficiência em habilidades de Gestão na era Globalizada da Gestão Moderna de Negócios e servirá de subsídio para a proposta de novos conceitos de Gestão e Cooperação de Empreendimentos Inovadores nas IES
A New Approach to Monitoring Touristic and Cultural Routes: The Challenge of Development and Use of Indicators-Based Systems
The present paper results of an ongoing research project were it is expected to develop an information
system to monitoring a cultural-touristic route. The route to monitor is the Romanesque Route of Tâmega. This
Route is composed of 58 monuments located in the region of Tâmega in the North of Portugal. Due to the
particular location of this region, that is between coastal zone, but not yet in the inland, it has a weak political
influence, and it is reflected in the low levels of development at several levels, observed. The Romanesque
Route was implemented in a part of this region in 1998, and enlarged to the all-region in 2010. In order to
evaluate the socio-ecomonic impact of this route in the region a research project is being developed. The main
goal of this paper is to open a discussion on the elements that must be taken into consideration to evaluate the
economic and social impact of a touristic cultural route within a region and this one in particular
Quantum-Induced Soft Supersymmetry Breaking In Supergravity
We calculate the one-loop quantum contributions to soft supersymmetry
breaking terms in the scalar potential in supergravity theories regulated \`a
la Pauli-Villars. We find ``universal'' contributions, independent of the
regulator masses and tree level soft supersymmetry breaking, that contribute
gaugino masses and A-terms equal to the ``anomaly mediated'' contributions
found in analyses using spurion techniques, as well as a scalar mass term not
identified in those analyses. The universal terms are in general modified --
and in some cases canceled -- by model-dependent terms. Under certain
restrictions on the couplings we recover the one-loop results of previous
``anomaly mediated'' supersymmetry breaking scenarios. We emphasize the model
dependence of loop-induced soft terms in the potential, which are much more
sensitive to the details of Planck scale physics then are the one-loop
contributions to gaugino masses. We discuss the relation of our results to
previous analyses.Comment: 18 pages. This replacement corrects eqs. (7) and (31) and adds

Importance of microbial culture collections for food safety research in climate change scenario
ICFC 2017 - International Conference on Food Contaminants (Book of Abstracts)Culture collections (CC) of microorganisms can play an important role in ensuring safe
food for the world's population. The preservation of different groups of microorganisms
such astoxigenic, pathogenic, phytopathogenic, deteriorating or biotechnological, allows
the development of research for their control or use. Then, it is important that these CC use
appropriate preservation techniques, species identification criteria rigid and a
multidisciplinary specialists group. The Microorganisms Culture Collection of the
Department of Food Science (CCDCA / UFLA) of the Federal University of Lavras (Minas
Gerais-Brazil) has been developing research projects that value and demonstrate the
importance of CC for food safety. Above all, among these researches, the most important
ones are:1) Use of essential oils of medicinal plants and condiments in the control of
toxigenic fungi; 2) Development of antiseptic with essential oils to control contaminating
microorganisms from the hands of food handlers;3) Monitoring of ochratoxigenic fungi in
fruits and beans coffee; 4) Fungi prevalent in regional artisanal cheeses in Brazil;5) Fungi
and yeasts of the terroir microbiota of tropical wines; 6) Evaluation of the expression of
genes involved in the synthesis of ochratoxin A as a function of the temperature changes in
coffee fruit processing. In projects 3) to 6), climate change certainly will influence food
safety. Therefore, CCs are important sources of research to ensure the preservation of
microbial biodiversity, and the development of research for production of safe food even in
the face of climate change different scenarios. The CCDCA / UFLA is accredited as a
Faithful Depositary is a member of the WFCC and registered in the WDCM with the
number 1081 and currently has more than 800 strains preserved at -80 ºC, belonging to
the genera Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Penicillium and Talaromyces.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
One Loop Soft Supersymmetry Breaking Terms in Superstring Effective Theories
We perform a systematic analysis of soft supersymmetry breaking terms at the
one loop level in a large class of string effective field theories. This
includes the so-called anomaly mediated contributions. We illustrate our
results for several classes of orbifold models. In particular, we discuss a
class of models where soft supersymmetry breaking terms are determined by quasi
model independent anomaly mediated contributions, with possibly non-vanishing
scalar masses at the one loop level. We show that the latter contribution
depends on the detailed prescription of the regularization process which is
assumed to represent the Planck scale physics of the underlying fundamental
theory. The usual anomaly mediation case with vanishing scalar masses at one
loop is not found to be generic. However gaugino masses and A-terms always
vanish at tree level if supersymmetry breaking is moduli dominated with the
moduli stabilized at self-dual points, whereas the vanishing of the B-term
depends on the origin of the mu-term in the underlying theory. We also discuss
the supersymmetric spectrum of O-I and O-II models, as well as a model of
gaugino condensation. For reference, explicit spectra corresponding to a Higgs
mass of 114 GeV are given. Finally, we address general strategies for
distinguishing among these models.Comment: 49 pages: includes three tables and nine figure
A T8.5 Brown Dwarf Member of the Xi Ursae Majoris System
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer has revealed a T8.5 brown dwarf (WISE
J111838.70+312537.9) that exhibits common proper motion with a
solar-neighborhood (8 pc) quadruple star system - Xi Ursae Majoris. The angular
separation is 8.5 arc-min, and the projected physical separation is about 4000
AU. The sub-solar metallicity and low chromospheric activity of Xi UMa A argue
that the system has an age of at least 2 Gyr. The infrared luminosity and color
of the brown dwarf suggests the mass of this companion ranges between 14 and 38
Jupiter masses for system ages of 2 and 8 Gyr respectively.Comment: AJ in press, 12 pages LaTeX with 6 figures. More astrometric data and

Phenomenological Aspects of Heterotic Orbifold Models at One Loop
We provide a detailed study of the phenomenology of orbifold
compactifications of the heterotic string within the context of supergravity
effective theories. Our investigation focuses on those models where the soft
Lagrangian is dominated by loop contributions to the various soft supersymmetry
breaking parameters. Such models typically predict non-universal soft masses
and are thus significantly different from minimal supergravity and other
universal models. We consider the pattern of masses that are governed by these
soft terms and investigate the implications of certain indirect constraints on
supersymmetric models, such as flavor-changing neutral currents, the anomalous
magnetic moment of the muon and the density of thermal relic neutralinos. These
string-motivated models show novel behavior that interpolates between the
phenomenology of unified supergravity models and models dominated by the
superconformal anomaly.Comment: 47 pages, 14 figure
Construção de alianças para gestão territorial com ênfase na floresta: O caso do Bosque Modelo Caçador no sul do Brasil
Model Forests (MFs) are social and participatory processes aiming at the sustainable development of a territory where the forest plays an important role. Individuals and organizations share knowledge and combine expertise and resources to provide income-generating opportunities, balancing social, economic, and ecological values. The concept originated in the late 80s, in Canada, and was launched internationally in Rio-92 Conference under the name of 'Model Forests', which adopts network strategies ('International Model Forest Network - IMFN' and regional networks as the Latin America Caribbean Model Forests Network (LAC-Net)). In Brazil, the system is coordinated by the Brazilian Forest Service and to date consists of two MFs in the Southeast and one in the South. The latter is located in the region of Araucaria Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems of the Atlantic Forest. The high degree of landscape fragmentation and a very restrictive environmental legislation regarding the use of native forest are both major drivers of a well-known polarization between ?development? and ?conservation? viewpoints. Those conflicts of interests combined with low Human Development Indices, poor income distribution and environmental liabilities observed in the municipality of Caçador, in Santa Catarina State, motivated the creation of a MF in the region. The process is being conducted by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) since 2007. During the four subsequent years, public meetings and workshops were held in order to present and discuss the Model Forest approach with the local community. In 2012, individuals, organizations and local stakeholders joined the Caçador Model Forest Council. At the same year, the Council submitted a formal proposal for the creation of the MF and in 2013 the Model Forest area was visited by representatives of LAC-Net and IMFN. Finally, on June 17, 2013, Caçador Model Forest (BMCDR) was officially approved as a member of the Network, covering the entire territory of the municipality with 98,000 hectares. BMCDR mission is to provide better quality of life and environmental conservation through participatory management of the territory, strengthening family farming and the cultural identity and promoting the improvement, conservation and use of forest and water resources. The year 2014 was devoted to the process of discussing Caçador Model Forest governance model approaches and constructing its strategic plan, which comprises four major issues to be addressed during the next five years: promoting the local identity; use and conservation of the Araucaria Forest; use and conservation of water and the promotion and dissemination of BMCDR resources
