Population dynamics of aquatic snails in Pampulha reservoir
An attempt was made to determine more accurately the density of molluskan populations in the Pampulha reservoir, using the quadrate method, intending to detect the fluctuation of the populations density, the habitat conditions and the possible competitive interactions among Biomphalaria tenagophila, Melanoides tuberculata, Pomacea haustrum and Biomphalaria glabrata, through the analysis of populational parameters. Among the most significative facts observed in the reservoir it has to be mentioned: the almost disappearance of B. glabrata; the invasion, colonization, fixation and fast growing of M. tuberculata population until reaching about 11,000 individuals/[square metre]; the density fluctuations of B. tenagophila, P. haustrum and M. tuberculata alives and deads; differences on the habitat preference of these three molluskan species at the edge (at the limit earth-water, at 0.70m and 1.40m from the shore line); monthly mortality rates and reproduction seasons of the species
Empresas multinacionais e desempenho comercial do Brasil: uma revisĂŁo da literatura Multinational enterprises and trade performance in Brazil: a review of the literature
Fazemos uma releitura dos estudos empĂricos sobre empresas multinacionais (EMNs) e comĂ©rcio exterior no Brasil a partir dos modelos teĂłricos e empĂricos de comĂ©rcio internacional com firmas multinacionais. Percebe-se que aqueles estudos nĂŁo examinam como caracterĂsticas econĂŽmicas do paĂs (Brasil) condicionaram a emergĂȘncia e tipo das EMNs e, assim, seus respectivos impactos sobre comĂ©rcio exterior. Conseguem isolar, nas anĂĄlises de impacto comercial, evidĂȘncias dos serviços tecnolĂłgicos das estrangeiras, relativamente Ă s domĂ©sticas do mesmo setor, mas nĂŁo examinam se essas firmas se concentraram ou nĂŁo em atividades com vantagens comparativas no paĂs, o que seria crucial para determinar seu impacto comercial comparativo.<br>We revisit the empirical research about multinational firms (MNFs) and foreign trade in Brazil from the perspective of the theoretical models of international trade with MNFs, and their empirical tests. We observed that the cited studies did not examine how the economic characteristics of Brazil conditioned the emergence and types, as well as the corresponding impacts of the MNFs on foreign trade. The models analyzing trade impacts succeed to single out the MNF's technology service, as compared to same-sector domestic firms, but do not examine whether or not these firms concentrated in activities with comparative advantages, crucial to determine the comparative trade contribution from these firms
