Análise da Emergência da TV Digital e seus Impactos na Cadeia Produtiva Eletroeletrônica Brasileira

The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the main technological trends concerning to the process of the introduction of Digital TV in the Brazilian market and its implications in terms of a new electro-electronic complex configuration, considering that this process could be understand a great industrial innovation. In this sense one tries to search the implications of this innovation to the inter-companies competitiveness process and to the electro-electronic productive chain re-configuration as a whole. The methodological approach involves multiple methods of research used to capture data from the stakeholders, like: the companies involved in production of integrated Digital TV or set-top boxes, Brazilian broadcasters and representatives of the government.The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the main technological trends concerning to the process of the introduction of Digital TV in the Brazilian market and its implications in terms of a new electro-electronic complex configuration, considering that this process could be understand a great industrial innovation.

Nesse sentido, procura-se estudar as implicações dessa inovação no processo de competitividade inter-empresarial e na re-configuração da cadeia produtiva eletroeletrônica no geral. A abordagem metodológica envolve múltiplos métodos de pesquisa, utilizados na obtenção de informações junto aos vários parceiros de negócio, como as companhias envolvidas na produção da TV digital integrada ou set-top boxes, emissoras brasileiras de televisão e representantes do governo

Industrial restructuring and professional qualification requirements

Among the most complex subjects that affect modern society in this early millennium, the problem of relationships between the educational patterns and the work organization seems to be one of the most important and full of uncertainties. Specially, this problem acquires greater relevance when one thinks of the impacts of the techno-scientific revolution in the work world, as well as in the educational system. In this sense, the present work researches some elements regarding the new educational patterns and qualification requirements in face of the new industrial paradigm and discusses the transformations accomplished by the techno-scientific revolution and its implications on the new lean and flexible production paradigm and on the (re)organization of work in the modern industry. The methodological approach is based on a bibliographic revision with a quantitative approach

Survey of the wheat and derivatives production chain regarding the 2030 Agenda and the SDG

The adequacy of the 2030 Agenda and the SDG is a new instrument that companies should implement within their innovative processes to improve social, environmental, and economic issues internally and externally. Thus, this work aims to diagnose the wheat and derivatives segment and the adoption/implementation of the 2030 Agenda and SDG to business practices. To this end, a sample of 91 companies of the wheat agribusiness and processing industry was studied, using the survey-based exploratory-descriptive methodology. Data collected underwent qualitative and quantitative analysis, which demonstrated that although many of the SDGs are under assessment for possible new integration with those remaining and those under implementation, the number of objectives already included in business practices is still trivial (38.4%, that is, about 6 out of 17).The adequacy of the 2030 Agenda and the SDG is a new instrument that companies should implement within their innovative processes to improve social, environmental, and economic issues internally and externally.

The Dynamic Cooperation Network as an Instrument for the Technological management and Innovation Process: The Case of the Brazilian Aeronautic Sector

The articulation of the Science,Technology & Innovation actors and the development of collaborative actions are essential to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the Brazilian aeronautic process and to maintain its global competitiveness. The present paper analyzes the dynamic cooperation network model of the Brazilian aeronautic sector based on the case study executed in joint with the Industrial Promotion and Coordination Institute (IFI) – an organization responsible for the industrial support and infrastructure programs to improve the quality and the training of this sector. As a result, this work identifies some critical factors for success related to the cooperation network model for the growth of the sector competitiveness potential.La articulación entre los actores de la Ciencia, Tecnología y la Innovación, y el desarrollo de acciones en conjunto son esenciales para realizar mejoras en la eficiencia y efectividad del proceso Brasilero de aeronáutica, y para mantener su competitividad global. El siguiente trabajo analiza el modelo dinámico de cooperación en red del sector aeronáutico Brasilero basado en el estudio de caso llevado a cabo en conjunto con el Instituto de Coordinación y Promoción Industrial (IFI)- una organización responsable del apoyo e infraestructura de programas que mejoren la calidad y la capacitación en éste sector. Como resultado, éste trabajo identifica algunos factores críticos para el éxito relacionado al modelo de cooperación en red para el crecimiento del potencial competitivo del sector.The articulation of the Science, Technology &Innovation actors and the development of collaborative actions are essential to improve the efficiency and the effectiveness of the Brazilian aeronautic process and to maintain its global competitiveness.

Prevalência de anticorpos para o vírus da hepatite A em duas populações de diferente nível sócio-econômico de São Paulo, Brasil

To evaluate the prevalence of antibody against hepatitis A in two socioeconomically distinct populations of a developing country, 540 serum specimens from children and adults living in São Paulo, Brazil, were tested for IgG anti HAV by a commercial radioimunoassay (Havab, Abbott Laboratories). The prevalence of anti-HAV in low socioeconomic level subjects was 75.0% in children 2-11 years old and 100.0% in adults, whereas in middle socioeconomic level significantly lower prevalences were observed (40.3% in chidren 2-11 years old and 91.9% in adults). Voluntary blood donors of middle socioeconomic level showed a prevalence of 90.4%. These data suggest that hepatitis A infection remains a highly endemic disease in São Paulo, Brazil.Para avaliar a prevalência de anticorpos para o vírus da hepatite A em um país em desenvolvimento, os Autores analisaram 540 amostras de soro de crianças e adultos colhidas em São Paulo, pertencente a duas populações distintas sota o ponto de vista socio-econômico. Os anticorpos IgG anti-VHA foram testados através de radioimunoensaio disponível comercialmente (Havata, Laboratorios Abbott). A prevalência de anticorpos IgG anti-HVA no grupo de baixo nível socioeconómico foi de 75,0% em crianças de 2-11 anos e 100,0% nos adultos, enquanto que no grupo de nível socioeconómico médio observaram-se prevalências acentuadamente mais baixas (40,3% nas crianças de 2 a 11 anos e 91,9% nos adultos). Doadores de sangue voluntários, de nível sócio-econômico médio, apresentaram prevalência de anticorpos de 90,4°/o. Estes achados sugerem que a infecção pelo vírus da hepatite A continua sendo uma infecção altamente endêmica em São Paulo, Brasil
