Acesso a recursos para inovação: um estudo no parque científico-tecnológico da Feevale

This study aims to analyze how Techpark, the scientific and technological park of Feevale University, provides human, physical and financial resources to foster innovation in companies linked to this environment. The justification for the elaboration of this article is the emergence of business ecosystems with their management based on collaborative strategies. In this context, the Scientific-Technological parks are consolidated, focusing on the generation of ventures with an innovative vision. Through these environments, resources are made available through the intermediation of public and private actors to promote the creation of new businesses, bringing development to the surrounding regions. The research method was a qualitative field study, with data collected through interviews with the various actors in this ecosystem. It was found that Techpark guides its management in organizational practices based on collaboration and this practice facilitates companies to access the resources necessary for their development, such as technical-scientific, marketing, strategic, financial resources, educational infrastructure and for research and development of your products and services. The managers of the companies highlight the importance of networking, which has enabled the expansion of business partners.O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar como o Techpark, parque científico-tecnológico da Universidade Feevale, disponibiliza os recursos humanos, físicos e financeiros para fomentar a inovação frente às empresas vinculadas a esse ambiente. A justificativa para a elaboração do presente artigo é o surgimento de ecossistemas empresariais com sua gestão baseada em estratégias colaborativas. Nesse contexto, se consolidam os parques Científico-Tecnológicos, com foco na geração de empreendimentos com visão inovadora. Por meio desses ambientes, recursos são disponibilizados pela intermediação de atores públicos e privados para promover a criação de novos negócios, trazendo desenvolvimento às regiões de seu entorno. O método de pesquisa foi o estudo de campo qualitativo, com dados coletados por meio de entrevistas junto aos diversos atores desse ecossistema. Constatou-se que o Techpark norteia sua gestão em práticas organizacionais baseadas na colaboração e essa prática facilita que empresas acessem os recursos necessários ao seu desenvolvimento, como competências técnico-científicas, de marketing, estratégicas, recursos financeiros, infraestrutura educacional e para pesquisa e desenvolvimento de seus produtos e serviços. Os gestores das empresas destacam a importância do networking que tem oportunizado a ampliação dos parceiros de negócios

Morphometric characterization of Ross line broiler chickens lymphoid organs reared under field conditions in Zulia State

En base a la relación existente entre la morfometria de los órganos linfoides y la inmunocompetencia de las aves, se estudió el desarrollo de los órganos linfoides, evaluando 24 pollos (Ross) semanales durante seis semanas, provenientes de un lote de 600 aves, criadas bajo condiciones de campo en el Centro Experimental de Producción Animal de la Universidad del Zulia. Se calculó la relación entre el peso de Bursa, Bazo, Timo y el peso corporal (Ibu, Iba Iti), entre el peso y el diámetro de la Bursa, así como el coeficiente de correlación (CC) y la razón entre los órganos (Ro). Los órganos linfoides fueron evaluados histopatológicamente, determinándose además los títulos de anticuerpos contra la Enfermedad de Newcastle (ENC). Fueron aplicados estadígrafos de posición y dispersión. Se utilizaron la prueba de Correlación de Pierson y Chicuadrado del Paquete Estadístico SAS. El peso vivo inicial fue de 44 gr. promedio y el final de 2.139 gr. Al día 1 el peso de la Bursa, Timo y Bazo fue de 0,06, 0,03 y 0,15 gr respectivamente; alcanzando pesos de 1,14, 2,31 y 7,47 gr al día 42. Ibu aumentó hasta la cuarta semana, descendiendo a partir de esta, Iba e Iti mostraron poca variación. La razón Bursa-bazo disminuyó a partir de la cuarta semana. El timo creció con más rápidez que la bolsa y el bazo. Se obtuvieron altos CC entre el peso corporal, el timo y el bazo, así como entre el peso y el diámetro de la Bursa. Durante la quinta y sexta semanas se observaron alteraciones histopatológicas en Bursa compatibles con enfermedad de Gumboro. La respuesta serológica a la vacunación contra ENC fue deficiente, probablemente debido a la presencia de agentes inmunosupresores. Esto concuerda con la disminución de los indicadores Ibu y Bur/ba durante ese periodo. Se concluye que en condiciones de campo los índices morfométricos son una herramienta útil para determinar la inmunocompetencia de las aves.217 - [email protected] to the relationship between the morphometric characteristics and the immunocompetence in broilers, lymphoid organ development of 24 Ross strain Broiler chicks per week were evaluated weekly for six weeks from a 600 bird pen, reared under field conditions, at the Animal Production Experimental Center of Zulia State University. The relationship between Bursa weight and bursa diameter, Bursa, Spleen and Thymus weight and body weight (B/BW; S/BW; T/BW) and the relationship between organs was established. Correlation coefficient (CC) between variables was determinated. Histopathological study of the lymphoid organs and antibody titres against Newcastle Disease (ND) were performed. Positional and dispersion tests were applied. Pearson’s correlation tests and Chi-square from SAS were used. Initial body weight averaged 44 gr at the end of the study chicks averaged 2,139 gr. At day 1 Bursa, Spleen and Thymus weight averaged 0.06; 0.03 y 0.15 g, each; reaching at the end of the trial 1.14; 2.31 y 7.47 g. The B/BW grew untill fourth week and decreased from there to the end of the study. The relationship between the bursa and the spleen diminished from the fourth week on. The Thymus developed faster than the other organs. High correlation coefficients were obtained for Thymus, Spleen and body weight also for the diameter and weight of Fabricius Bursa. Histophological lesions related to infectious bursal disease were observed on bursal tissue during the last 14 days. Serological response to vaccination against ND was poor maybe due the presence of immunosupressor factors. These findings are in agreement with the B/BW and bursa/spleen indicator decrease over this period. Morphometric indexes are a useful tool to evaluate the immunocomptence of broilers under field conditions
