Acessibilidade nas vias turísticas da área central de Foz do Iguaçu : um retrato do "Projeto Calçadas"

Orientador : Cícero Fernandes MarquesProjeto Técnico (especialização) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas. Curso de Especialização em Gestão Pública MunicipalInclui referênciasResumo: O presente trabalho se propõe a traçar um panorama atual das condições de trafegabilidade de pedestres em algumas calçadas públicas de Foz do Iguaçu, cidade situada no extremo-oeste do Estado do Paraná. Foz do Iguaçu é uma das poucas cidades brasileiras que possui legislação municipal específica definindo as condições físico/estruturais das calçadas públicas. Esta legislação denominou algumas ruas de Foz do Iguaçu como "Vias Turísticas" – devido estas interligarem os principais atrativos turísticos do município. O presente trabalho destina-se a avaliar as condições de acessibilidade das calçadas públicas destas ruas, nos trechos em que as mesmas passam pela área central da cidade. O prazo previsto na legislação para adequação destas vias às condições previstas foi de 3 (três) anos - tendo este se no expirado em 14 de dezembro de 2008. Até hoje algumas calçadas que deveriam ter sido construídas neste prazo, não o foram. É objetivo principal deste trabalho a análise não somente dos acertos, mas principalmente dos erros cometidos pelo Poder Público na condução destas adequações. Baseadas nestas verificações faz parte dos objetivos do presente trabalho, em caráter secundário, a sugestão de alteração na política pública de execução destas adequações propondo nova alternativa de gerenciamento do programa

<b>Effect of corms weight on quality of Saffron (Crocus sativus Linn.)</b>

193-194The stigma of saffron flowers is not only used in food, confectionary and liquor industries but also has medicinal properties and is used as appetizer, digestive and sedative. Due to high economical efficiency of saffron, its cultivation is increasing in country. Corm weight has significant effect on the quality of stigma of saffron flowers. The results of present study conclude that by selecting corms of 15 g weight for planting high quality saffron stigma could be obtained

The influence of nitrogen-fertilizer and harvest time on the productivity of Thymus vulgaris L.

The influence of nitrogen-fertilizer applied in 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg/ha dosages, as well as the time of the harvest carried out in full flowering and early fruit set stages were studied on the herb and essential oil production of garden thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.). The small plot experiment was installed in the Experimental Field of Tarbiat Modarres University near Teheran, under sandy loam soil conditions. On the basis of the results the nitrogen-fertilizer had a significant effect on the dry-matter production of the species: the herb yield, calculated on one hectare, increased from 671.88 kg up to 1021.00 kg value as a result of 150 kg nitrogen dosage. The essential oil yield proved to have a similar tendency because neither the accumulation level of essential oil, nor the ratio of thymol were effected by the nutrient supply. Analyzing the effect of harvest time changes in both dry-mass production and essential oil accumulation were observed. The highest herb yield (1238.20 kg/hectare) was obtained in early fruit set, when about.50 per cent of fruits reached their full size in the inflorescence. The accumulation level of essential oil also reached its maximum at the sane development stage, showing 0.75 per cent value, which is about two fold higher comparing to the accumulation level was measured at the time of full flowering (0.41 %)

Quantitative distribution of hesperidin in Citrus species, during fruit maturation and optimal harvest time

12-15The effect of harvest time and fruit growth on hesperidin content was studied on four Citrus species. The highest hesperidin content in different tested Citrus species was obtained 50 to 60 days after full bloom. Hesperidin content also varied in different species and its level was much higher in local orange, navel orange and clementine
