CARACTERIZAÇÃO DOS AGLOMERADOS AGROINDUSTRIAIS DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL

O objetivo deste artigo foi caracterizar os aglomerados agroindustriais de Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), baseado nas metodologias disponíveis de desenvolvimento local. A importância deste estudo se deu pelo fato de identificar os aglomerados industriais (Sistemas Locais de Produção) distribuídos pelo território do estado de MS, caracterizá-los e divulgar as políticas públicas existentes e sugerir novas que possam viabilizar os atuais aglomerados e atrair novos investimentos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, conduzida em dois momentos: o primeiro baseou-se em pesquisa de dados secundários, sobretudo no relatório de pesquisa de onze cadeias produtivas efetuada pelo Governo de MS e UFMS. No segundo momento foram feitas entrevistas com quatro especialistas da Federação das Indústrias de MS e Secretaria de Estado de Produção. Pode-se concluir que inexistem clusters no estado de MS; quanto aos pólos de crescimento, foi identificado em Ivinhema, o Pólo mandioqueiro, sem empresa motriz; Pólos industriais com empresa motrix foram identificados em São Gabriel do Oeste (suinocultura) e Dourados (avicultura); O tipo meio novador foi identificado na região de Dourados (piscicultura), além de Campo Grande (indústria coureira); por fim, o formato distrito industrial ficou caracterizado na região central de Campo Grande, pela agregação de mais de vinte empresas.-----------------------------------------------The objective of this paper was to characterize the agro-industrial clusters of Mato Grosso of Sul (MS), based of the available methodologies of local development. The importance of this study if it gave for the fact to identify the industrial clusters (Local Systems of Production) distributed by the territory of the state of MS, to characterize them and to divulge the public politics existing and to suggest new that they can make possible the current clusters and attract new investments. One is about a exploratória research, lead at two moments: the first one was based on research of secondary data, over all in the report of research of eleven productive chains effected by the Government of MS and UFMS. At as the moment interviews with four specialists of the Federacy of the Industries of MS and State secretary of Production had been made. It can be concluded that they inexist clusters in the MS state; in relation to the growth polar regions, it was identified in Ivinhema, the cassava Polar region, without focal company; Industrial polar regions with focal company had been identified in São Gabriel do Oeste (meat pork industry) and Dourados (poultry industry); The innovation type was identified in the region of Dourados (meat fish industry), beyond Campo Grande (leather industry); finally, the format industrial district was characterized in the central region of Campo Grande, by the aggregation of more than twenty companies.Aglomerados industriais, sistemas locais de produção, clusters, agro-industrial clusters, local systems of production, clusters, Community/Rural/Urban Development,

Freshwater sponge-dwelling Chironomidae (Insecta, Diptera) in northeastern Brazil

The Neotropical region possesses a rich freshwater sponge fauna; however, knowledge about its taxonomy and the community inside the sponges remains fragmentary. Chironomidae (Insecta, Diptera) larvae associated with freshwater sponges have been largely reported in literature and some genera are recognized as containing species exclusively dependent on these organisms. In this study, we analyze the occurrence of chironomid larvae associated with freshwater sponges (Spongillidae) in northeastern Brazil. Samples were collected in two aquatic systems in Pernambuco, Brazil, in February 2011 and October 2012. In the Rio Sirinhaém, Corvoheteromeyenia australis (Bonetto & Ezcurra de Drago) was the only sponge collected, and Polypedilum Kieffer, Goeldichironomus Fittkau, Xenochironomus Kieffer and Cricotopus Van der Wulp were the chironomids found as its associated fauna. On the other hand, in a fishpond, Heteromeyenia cristalina Batista, Volkmer-Ribeiro & Melão, Radiospongilla inesi Nicacio & Pinheiro and Tubella variabilis Boneto & Ezcurra de Drago were the collected sponges, and Polypedilum, Chironomus Meigen, Dicrotendipes Kieffer and Goeldichironomus were the larvae associated with these species. Although only species of Xenochironomus are reported to have close interactions with freshwater sponges, herein we document other Chironomidae genera associated with these organisms. Nevertheless, further investigations are needed to better understand how chironomid larvae use sponges as shelter and/or to avoid predation in a facultative way. The objective of the present study was to analyze the occurrence of Chironomidae inhabitants of freshwater sponges in aquatic systems in the state of Pernambuco, in order to contribute to the knowledge of sponge-dwelling chironomids in northeastern Brazil

ACCOUNTABILITY EM UMA INSTITUIÇÃO FEDERAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR: POSSIBILIDADES E LIMITAÇÕES NO CONTEXTO DE UMA DIRETORIA DE ASSISTÊNCIA À SAÚDE

The advance in transparency and accountability laws that recently took place in Brazil, ended up generating, on many occasions, conflicts regarding the need to publish data as opposed to the protection of intimate data. Thus, from a documental analysis of the processes related to the Ombudsman of a director of health care to the public servant, from a Federal Public University, we sought to analyze the possibilities and challenges of accountability, in view of the growing conflict between transparency and privacy. Through a descriptive study of the collected information, it was found that the requests for information from the Fala.BR Integrated Ombudsman and Access to Information Platform and the Electronic Information System (SEI), in some cases, have some impediment in terms of availability of the requested information. Therefore, it is suggested a modification in the Access to Information Law (LAI), requiring a minimum motivation for requests for information, or, in cases where extra work is required to respond to requests, that its costs be charged to the requestor, except in cases of active transparency, as determined by both Law No. 12,527/2011 and Decree No. 7,724/2012.O avanço nas leis de transparência e prestação de contas que ocorreu recentemente no Brasil, acabou por gerar, em muitas ocasiões, conflitos quanto à necessidade de publicação dos dados em contraponto à proteção de dados de foro íntimo. Assim, buscou-se, a partir de uma análise documental dos processos referentes à Ouvidoria de uma diretoria de assistência à saúde ao servidor, de uma Universidade Pública Federal, analisar quais as possibilidades e desafios da accountability, tendo em vista o conflito crescente entre transparência e privacidade. Através de um estudo descritivo das informações coletadas, constatou-se que os pedidos de informação provenientes da Plataforma Integrada de Ouvidoria e Acesso à Informação Fala.BR e do Sistema Eletrônico de Informação (SEI), em alguns casos, possuem algum impedimento quanto à disponibilização integral da informação solicitada. Sugere-se, portanto, uma modificação na Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI), exigindo uma motivação mínima para as solicitações de informação, ou, nos casos em que for demandado trabalho extra para responder às solicitações, que seus custos sejam cobrados do solicitante, exceto nos casos em que ocorre a transparência ativa, como determina tanto a Lei nº 12.527/2011 quanto o Decreto nº 7.724/2012

Study of the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a Newtonian fluid using Laplace transform / Estudo do escoamento magnetohidrodinâmico de um fluido Newtoniano via transformada de Laplace

The present work studies the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a Newtonian fluid as a complementary case of the simple flow in a parallel plate channel. The effects of kinematic parameters and the influence of the transverse and uniform magnetic field on the fields of speed, flow and shear rate are analyzed. To solve the equations that govern movement, the Laplace Transform technique was used, and the Python programming language and wxMaxima program for the construction of graphs and convergence analysis, respectively. The results obtained were analyzed for different values of the Hartmann’s number and the limit case in which this parameter tends to zero compared to the simple flow in the absence of a field. The study showed the effect of the magnetic field on the velocity profile and other derived properties. And the limit case proved to be compatible with the case in which there is no magnetic field applied. In general, the work proved to be valid as a complementary study of the simple case, since the results obtained for the limit case clearly express its tendency towards the simple case presented by the literature
