Agroindústrias: a indústria motriz que desenvolve a região Oeste do Paraná

Dissertação apresentada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Políticas Públicas e Desenvolvimento da Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana, como requisito parcial à obtenção do título de Mestre em Políticas Públicas e Desenvolvimento. Orientador: Prof. Dr. Gilson Batista de OliveiraA partir de meados da década de 1970 a tecnificação e mecanização no cultivo da soja consolida e acelera as mudanças, provocando uma alteração radical na base produtiva regional, com repercussão na estrutura fundiária e na distribuição da sua população. Entre os anos 1950 a 1970, a população total do Oeste paranaense salta de pouco mais de 16.000 para 760.000 mil habitantes. Com o passar dos anos e com novos investimentos em infraestruturas e grandes obras, trouxe ao Oeste paranaense constantes levas de imigrantes. Esses imigrantes em sua maioria produtores rurais se estabeleceram nesta região se dedicando à vida agrária. Com o desenvolvimento tecnológico, essa região, ao longo dos anos, tornou-se um grande produtor e exportador de grãos e animais. As diversidades regionais formadas pelas diferentes condições geográficas, econômicas, sociais e culturais propiciaram a heterogeneidade no desenvolvimento econômico e social da região. O Oeste do Paraná é composto por 50 (cinquenta) municípios com uma população atualmente estimada em mais de um milhão e trezentos mil habitantes. A atividade agrícola representa uma grande parcela da economia desses municípios, em números comparados ao estado do Paraná. A atividade agroindustrial da região Oeste do Paraná apresenta resultados e características que favorecem a percepção de um pólo agroindustrial. No entanto, necessitam-se estudos que aprofundem esse tema a fim de identificar elementos que possam explicar a existência de um pólo de crescimento ou desenvolvimento nessa região.From the mid-1970s technologization and mechanization of soy cultivation have consolidated and accelerated changes, causing a radical transformation in the regional productive base, with consequences on the land structure and the distribution of its population. Between the years 1950 to 1970, the total population of the West of Paraná jumped from just over 16,000 to 760,000 inhabitants. Over the years and with new investments in infrastructure and major constructions, it brought to the West of Parana constant waves of immigrants. These immigrants, in their majority rural producers, settled in this region dedicating themselves to agricultural life. With technological development, this region, over the years, became a great producer and exporter of grains and animals. The regional diversities formed by the different geographic, economic, social and cultural conditions provided the heterogeneity in the economic and social development of the region. Western Parana is composed of 50 (fifty) municipalities with a population currently estimated at more than one million and three hundred thousand inhabitants. The agricultural activity represents a large portion of the economy of these municipalities, in numbers compared to the state of Paraná. The agro-industrial activity in the Western region of Parana presents results and characteristics thatfavor the perception of an agro-industrial pole. However, studies are needed to deepen this idea and to identify elements that can explain the existence of expanding and developing pole in this region

Finding the Needle in a Haystack: Detecting Bug Occurrences in Gameplay Videos

The presence of bugs in video games can bring significant consequences for developers. To avoid these consequences, developers can leverage gameplay videos to identify and fix these bugs. Video hosting websites such as YouTube provide access to millions of game videos, including videos that depict bug occurrences, but the large amount of content can make finding bug instances challenging. We present an automated approach that uses machine learning to predict whether a segment of a gameplay video contains the depiction of a bug. We analyzed 4,412 segments of 198 gameplay videos to predict whether a segment contains an instance of a bug. Additionally, we investigated how our approach performs when applied across different specific genres of video games and on videos from the same game. We also analyzed the videos in the dataset to investigate what characteristics of the visual features might explain the classifier's prediction. Finally, we conducted a user study to examine the benefits of our automated approach against a manual analysis. Our findings indicate that our approach is effective at detecting segments of a video that contain bugs, achieving a high F1 score of 0.88, outperforming the current state-of-the-art technique for bug classification of gameplay video segments

Test case quality: an empirical study on belief and evidence

Software testing is a mandatory activity in any serious software development process, as bugs are a reality in software development. This raises the question of quality: good tests are effective in finding bugs, but until a test case actually finds a bug, its effectiveness remains unknown. Therefore, determining what constitutes a good or bad test is necessary. This is not a simple task, and there are a number of studies that identify different characteristics of a good test case. A previous study evaluated 29 hypotheses regarding what constitutes a good test case, but the findings are based on developers' beliefs, which are subjective and biased. In this paper we investigate eight of these hypotheses, through an extensive empirical study based on open software repositories. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to find evidence that supports these beliefs. This indicates that, although these hypotheses represent good software engineering advice, they do not necessarily mean that they are enough to provide the desired outcome of good testing code.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, 3 table

Digital Observation: An Analysis of Patriarchal Comments in the Web

Through the journey of the plurality of feminisms, we find ourselves today in the fourth wave, in which cyberactivism predominates, with feminist articulations going through the street/network axis. Thus, we sought to consolidate the arguments in defense of feminism from the analysis of the opposite reactions found online. The locus was the cyberspace itself, where comments were found in web news posts that contained controversial contents linked to themes worked out by feminism in their plurality. The qualitative approach was defined based on non-participant systematic observation and content analysis. Nine categories were extracted, including blaming the victim of violence, discrediting female accusations of violence, stigma of prostitution, social concept of Marianism, objectification of the female body, myth of female hysteria, myth of maternal love, sexual and reproductive rights, demerit the relevance of female representativeness, among other subjects. It has been found that chauvinism and misogyny are social reproductions engendered regardless of gender; whereas the demands on female behavior are mostly associated with an accusatory tone, with responsibilities reversed; that there is still the view that women do not have emancipatory capacity to achieve their successes and that, thus, they must take hold of what man has achieved from his privileges; that sexist attitudes are detrimental to society as a whole and not only to women and; Thus, most of society still does not understand the relevance of female representativeness in the various spaces

PANORAMA DAS INDICAÇÕES GEOGRÁFICAS NO BRASIL

The Geographical Indication-GI is a strategy used to identify the origin of products or services when the place has a great reputation or when it has peculiar characteristics or qualities attributed to its origin. The methodology of this research employed a search in the INPI's IG database without period delimitation, thus contemplating all the GIs that were in the database at the date of the search. As a result, a total of 69 recognized certifications were found, of which 50 are Indications of Proceeds 19 Denominations of Origin, whose locations and characteristics are described. It is believed that the knowledge of the situation regarding the GIs in the country can help in the development of public policies for the progress of the regions, those that already have certifications and, mainly, the induction of those that have the potential to obtain certification in order to promote the valuation of products and services for the benefit of Brazilian society.A Indicação Geográfica-IG consiste em uma estratégia usada para identificar a origem de produtos ou serviços quando o local tem grande reputação ou quando possui características ou qualidades peculiares atribuídas a sua origem. A metodologia desta pesquisa empregou busca no banco de dados de IG do INPI sem delimitação de período, contemplando, portanto, todas as IG que se encontravam na base na data da busca. Como resultado encontrou-se um total de 69 certificações reconhecidas, das quais 50 são Indicações de Procedências 19 Denominações de Origem, cujos locais e características são descritos. Acredita-se que o conhecimento da situação acerca das IG no país poderá auxiliar no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas para o progresso das regiões, das que já possuem certificações e, principalmente, da indução das que possuem potencial para obter a certificação no sentido de promover a valorização dos produtos e serviços em benefício da sociedade brasileira
