Full textAbstract:
This article investigated the general compositions of the areas (the road) including the geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry to explore the reason for the road failure. The zone is underlain basement (storm cellar) and sedimentary rocks of different textures, mineralogy, and geochemistry. The results implies that the areas that is most stable along the road portions is underlain by the granite-gneiss, granites, amphibole schist and quartz, schist and small sandstone while portions with the failures are underlain by mica schist, phyllite, and coarse-grained granite. It is apparently sure from this study that poor quality metasedimentary rocks constitute the formation of the failed portions. However, the high numbers of the sediment and sandstone present in the area that can easily be weathered due to the climate variation have increased the failure. In conclusion, the result will help the engineers during reconstruction of these parts need to be excavating deeply and replace with granite-gneiss, granites, amphibole schist and quartz for better result.

Full textAbstract:
In the area of the Novooleksandrivka village, the valley of the Bokovenka river crosses a powerful strip of metamorphic rocks of the Inhulo-Inhulets series with numerous small granitoid bodies of the Kirovohrad complex. In the right bank of the river valley north of Novooleksandrivka there are almost continuous rock outcrops of porphyry-like, mostly coarse-grained garnet-biotite granites, which are cut by veins of aplite-pegmatoid and pegmatoid granites. Uranium-lead isotope systems of accessory monazites from porphyry-like granite, layered body of uneven-grained granite and from veined body of aplite-pegmatoid granite have been studied. The age of the first two, more coarse-grained granite varieties, is 2043.2 ± 2.6 and 2041 ± 2.3 million years, respectively. Significantly younger are the monocytes from the vein of aplite-pegmatoid granite - 2030 ± 0.3 million years. In granites in this sequence, in addition to structural and textural characteristics (in general, decrease in grain size), there is a decrease in the amount of SiO2 (from 73.14 to 70.93%) connected with a significant increase in K2O (from 3.96 to 7.58%), (their inverse correlation coefficient is 0.98), a significant decrease in the CaO content from 2.04 to 0.97%, and a slight decrease in the MgO content from 1.14% to 0.82%. These changes are probably caused by the crystallizational differentiation of the original granite melt.

Full textAbstract:
Granite outcrops embedded in south-western Australian forests provide habitat for unique biotic assemblages and refugia for fire-sensitive taxa. Discontinuous vegetation and natural barriers to fire spread enable outcrops to function as fire refugia, provided fires in the surrounding forest are not of high intensity. In Summer 2003, lightning started a fire in jarrah forest that had not been burnt for almost 20 years. The high-intensity fire burned the vegetation on Mount Cooke, a large granite outcrop, providing an opportunity to study the response of Calothamnus rupestris Schauer, a fire-sensitive serotinous plant. The population was killed by the fire, but readily regenerated from seed stored in woody capsules. The post-fire population reached maturity after ~7.5 years, whereas the seed bank is unlikely to recover to the pre-fire level until ~14 years. The likelihood of intense forest wildfires affecting outcrop communities can be reduced by frequent low-intensity prescribed burning in the surrounding forests to reduce fuel hazard and quantity. Low-intensity forest fires are unlikely to be lethal to sensitive granite-outcrop communities.

Full textAbstract:
The rock mass structure of granite is massive, so the stability of granite slope is good. Massive rock become stratoid structure when the rock mass contain discontinuities such as joints and faults. The deformation and destruction of the slope rock mass is controlled by the behaviour and orientation of the discontinuities. Especially, the over-dip discontinuities controlled the slope stability. In this paper, based on the abundant field investigation on the slope in left bank diversion tunnel inlets of Nuozadu power station in Lancang River, the types of rock mass structures and the combination between structural planes and slope surface are studied in detail so as to analyze the slope deformation mechanism. Finally, the slope stability is researched systematically by limit equilibrium method and FLAC numerical simulation analysis. A set of technical and methodological system on stability research of over-dip stratoid structure rock slope will hoped to be established.

Full textAbstract:
To better understand the possible relationships between the geology of the seabed and the associated biological communities, a multibeam sonar survey over New Zealand Star Bank in the eastern Bass Strait was conducted. A hierarchical method of benthic habitat mapping was applied to the secondary biotope and biological facies levels at the site (<10 km) scale. Four secondary biotopes and four biological facies have been defined on the basis of geomorphology revealed by the bathymetry model and the results of statistical analysis of the sediment and underwater video transect data over the bank. The major differences that control the distribution of biological communities in the New Zealand Star Bank area appear to be related to variations in substrate. (1) Hard-ground features related to high-relief granite outcrops are associated with diverse and abundant sessile and motile fauna. These faunal communities may be biologically modified to patchy barrens habitat by grazing urchins. (2) Unconsolidated sediment on a flat seabed is associated with sparse small sponges on the inner shelf. On the middle shelf and seaward of bank, the flat and muddy seabed supports a community dominated by infauna. (3) Unconsolidated sediment on a low-relief seabed is associated with an increase in the density and sizes of sponges concentrated on any low-relief feature raised above the surrounding flat seabed.

Full textAbstract:
The Qianlishan complex, located in Hunan Province of South China, is closely associated with intense W-dominated polymetallic mineralization. The Qianlishan complex is composed of three phases: the main-phase porphyritic and equigranular granites, granite porphyry, and mafic dykes. Geochronologically, the zircon U-Pb dating results show that the porphyritic and equigranular granites have ages of approximately 159 and 158 Ma, respectively, similar to those of mafic dykes (approximately 158 Ma), while the granite porphyry was formed later at approximately 145 Ma. Geochemically, the mafic dykes are characterized by calc-alkaline high-Mg andesite (HMA) with high MgO, TiO2, Mg#, and CA/TH index. They exhibit significantly depleted εNd(t) and εHf(t) with high Ba/La, La/Nb, and (La/Yb)N, indicating that they formed from mixing melts of depleted asthenospheric mantle and metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). The main-phase granites are peraluminous and are characterized by high SiO2, low (La/Yb)N ratios, and relative depletion in Ba, Sr, Ti, and Eu. They also display negative correlations between La, Ce, Y, and Rb contents, suggesting that they are highly fractionated S-type granites. Furthermore, they show high εNd(t) and εHf(t), CaO/Na2O ratios, HREE, and Y contents, indicating that they were produced by parental melting of ancient basement mixed with mantle-derived components. In contrast, the granite porphyry shows A-type signature granites, with higher εNd(t) and εHf(t) and CaO/Na2O ratios than the main-phase granites but similar Zr/Nb and Zr/Hf ratios to the mafic dykes, suggesting that they are the products of partial melting of a hybrid source with ancient basement and the mafic dykes. We thus infer that the slab roll-back led to generation of Qianlishan back-arc basalt and HMA and further triggered the formation of the Qianlishan granite.

Full textAbstract:
Após a implantação do Plano Real, com a mudança ocasionada pela estabilização inflacionária, o Brasil apresentou ampliação na oferta de crédito bancário, como estratégia dos bancos para manterem o nível das suas receitas. Porém, o país ainda necessita ampliar o fornecimento de crédito, pois apresenta uma relação crédito/PIB de 62,2%, inferior à apresentada pela média de todos os países, de 131,7% (BANCO MUNDIAL, 2017). O sistema financeiro brasileiro é predominantemente bancário, e o fornecimento de crédito advém principalmente de instituições bancárias. Os recursos obtidos através do crédito bancário retornam para a sociedade, em forma de consumo e investimentos, contribuindo com a atividade econômica. Além desse cunho social, a concessão de crédito rentabiliza os bancos, impactando no desempenho financeiro dessas instituições. A partir da sanção da lei que permitiu a concessão do crédito consignado, que se caracteriza pelo débito das parcelas do empréstimo diretamente na folha de pagamento dos devedores, os bancos ampliaram a oferta de crédito, uma vez que essa modalidade de empréstimo possibilitou uma redução na inadimplência, diminuindo o risco atrelado ao crédito. Diante do exposto, o objetivo do estudo foi encontrar um modelo que represente o comportamento da evolução do crédito consignado junto a uma instituição financeira, auxiliando na sua estratégia através da previsão dessa variável. O estudo foi realizado através de uma pesquisa quantitativa, com dados secundários fornecidos pela instituição financeira. O tratamento estatístico dos dados foi realizado através da análise de séries temporais, por meio da metodologia proposta por Box & Jenkins, com a utilização do software R Studio. O resultado encontrado foi um modelo ARIMA (0, 2, 1), que representou o comportamento da evolução do crédito consignado junto à instituição financeira, com análise de 96 observações mensais, de janeiro de 2009 a dezembro de 2016. Com o modelo, realizou-se a previsão para seis meses, de janeiro a junho de 2017. A diferença máxima entre o valor previsto e o valor real da variável foi de 1,57%, o que atesta a acuracidade do modelo encontrado. Por conseguinte, como resultado teórico, evidenciou-se que o modelo ARIMA revelou-se adequado para a previsão do crédito consignado concedido pela instituição financeira. Como resultado empírico, o modelo de previsão encontrado pode atuar como ferramenta estratégica para a instituição financeira, uma vez que a sua aplicação pode colaborar com o processo de determinação de estratégias competitivas.Submitted by cmquadros@ucs.br (cmquadros@ucs.br) on 2018-02-01T17:13:34Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Munique Rech em PDF.pdf: 1603688 bytes, checksum: 1282a2ce84a98d5967f0926d3e74f80e (MD5)

After the implementation of the Real Plan, with the change brought about by inflationary stabilization, Brazil presented an increase in the supply of bank credit, as a strategy for banks to maintain the level of their revenues. However, the country still needs to expand its credit supply, as it has a credit-to-GDP ratio of 62.2%, lower than the average for all countries, of 131.7% (WORLD BANK, 2017). The Brazilian financial system is predominantly banking, and the provision of credit comes mainly from banking institutions. The resources obtained through bank credit return to society, in the form of consumption and investments, contributing to economic activity. In addition to this social aspect, credit lending makes banks profitable, impacting the financial performance of these institutions. Following the enactment of the law that allowed for the payroll deductible loan, which is characterized by the debit of the loan installments directly on the payroll of the debtors, the banks expanded the credit offer, since this type of loan made possible a reduction in defaults, reducing the credit risk. In view of the above, the objective of the study was to find a model that represents the behavior of the evolution of payroll loans with a financial institution, assisting in its strategy by predicting this variable. The study was conducted through a quantitative research, with secondary data provided by the financial institution. The statistical treatment of the data was performed through the analysis of time series, using the methodology proposed by Box & Jenkins, using the software R Studio. The result was an ARIMA model (0, 2, 1), which represented the behavior of the evolution of payroll loans with the financial institution, with analysis of 96 monthly observations, from January 2009 to December 2016. With the model, the forecast for six months, from January to June 2017. The maximum difference between the expected value and the actual value of the variable was 1.57%, which attests to the accuracy of the model found. Therefore, as a theoretical result, it was evidenced that the ARIMA model was adequate for the prediction of payroll loans granted by the financial institution. As an empirical result, the predictive model found can act as a strategic tool for the financial institution, since its application can contribute to the process of determining competitive strategies.

Dans cette recherche doctorale, nous étudions comment la gestion environnementale des entreprises (GEE) est prise en compte en matière de prêts bancaires aux entreprises en Europe et en Chine. Nous identifions également des facteurs motivationnels et des obstacles à l’inclusion de la GEE dans les décisions de prêts aux entreprises. La thèse est basée sur trois articles empiriques. Dans le premier article, nous établissons un cadre d'évaluation composé de 20 éléments et testons 50 banques en Europe entre 2016 et 2018. Nous examinons également comment le pouvoir des parties prenantes et des caractéristiques des banques influencent le niveau d’inclusion de GEE dans les prêts bancaires. Le deuxième article explore la perception de la GEE dans les activités de prêt du point de vue des prêteurs avec une enquête auprès de 110 managers de banques en France et au Luxembourg en 2019. En outre, l'étude examine l'influence de motivations institutionnelles sur la perception de la GEE. Dans le troisième article, nous nous concentrons sur la clarification des difficultés liées à la mise en œuvre du crédit vert en enquêtant auprès de 240 managers de banques chinoises. Cette étude identifie en particuliers les défis auxquels les banques chinoises sont actuellement confrontées dus à leurs différentes structures de propriété. Nous soutenons dans cette thèse que les banques, en tant que fournisseurs de capitaux aux entreprises, peuvent jouer un rôle central pour influencer les décisions des entreprises emprunteuses en faveur de la réduction de leur impact sur l’environnement à condition que les banques envisagent d'inclure la GEE dans leurs décisions de prêtIn this doctoral research, we investigate how corporate environmental management (CEM) is taken in account in lending decision-making of banks to corporations in Europe and China. We also identify motivational factors and barriers of including CEM into bank lending. Our thesis is based on three empirical papers. In the first paper, we establish a 20-item evaluation framework of 50 banks in Europe between 2016 and 2018. We also explore how stakeholder power and banks’ characteristics influence banks’ level of CEM inclusion in lending. The second paper explores the perception of CEM in the lending business from the lenders’ perspective with a survey of 110 bank managers in France and Luxembourg in 2019. In addition, the study examines the influence of institutional motivations on bank managers’ perception of CEM. In the third paper, we focus on clarifying the difficulties associated with green credit implementation by investigating 240 Chinese bank managers in 2019. This study identifies challenges Chinese banks currently face according to their different ownership structures. We argue in this thesis that banks, as capital providers to corporations, can play a central role in influencing the decisions of borrowing corporations to reduce their impact on the environment if banks consider including CEM into their lending decision-making

O acúmulo significativo de conhecimento sobre a ecologia de restauração nos últimos anos tem conduzido a mudanças na orientação dos programas de manejo e restauração florestal. A escolha ou criação de um modelo de restauração é um processo em constante aprimoramento, exigindo a necessidade de estudos que não apenas diminuam os custos envolvidos, mas também, que garantam a efetividade do objetivo proposto. Neste sentido, este trabalho testa novas metodologias de restauração visando a obtenção de informações técnicas sobre: A) a expressão do banco de sementes autóctone e alóctone na restauração florestal de diferentes situações de degradação antrópica.; B) o resgate de plântulas e indivíduos de espécies arbustivo-arbóreas regenerantes; C) a eficiência de um modelo de plantio que utiliza conceitos de Preenchimento e Diversidade e; D) a evolução da paisagem. Para análise dos bancos de sementes autóctone e alóctone foram feitos levantamentos da densidade e das espécies arbustivo-arbóreas regeneradas. No resgate de indivíduos de espécies arbustivo-arbóreas regenerantes, as plântulas e indivíduos jovens foram resgatadas em uma floresta e levadas para adapatação em viveiro, onde tiveram seus indivíduos e espécies contabilizados em termos de densidade e sobrevivência. No modelo de plantio estudado, as espécies foram reunidas em grupos de Preenchimento e Diversidade e tiveram a cobertura de copa de cada indivíduo quantificada. A evolução da paisagem foi realizada através de fotointerpretação e principalmente checagem de campo periódica. Os principais resultados dessas metodologias foram: A) As situações identificadas na Fazenda Intermontes apresentaram diferentes expressões de regeneração natural em função do número de indivíduos germinados banco de sementes autóctone. O aproveitamento dessa expressão poderá ser realizado através de metodologias diferenciadas de restauração para cada situação estudada: B) No estudo do Banco de sementes alóctone, a densidade dos indivíduos germinados se foi de 409.334 indivíduos/ha, revelando a possibilidade de uso no programa de restauração. Os indivíduos arbóreos apresentaram na área adubada um acréscimo de 137,3 % em sua altura média em relação aos indivíduos da área não adubada. C) No resgate de plântulas e indivíduos de espécies arbustivo-arbóreas regenerantes, a densidade dos indivíduos foi muito próxima para as duas épocas do ano, sendo 38.700 ind./ha e 37.900 ind./ha, mas com uma diferença significante para os indivíduos sobreviventes que apresentaram 16.500 ind./ha e 26.600 ind./ha para os meses de julho e dezembro de 2002, respectivamente. A técnica de resgate utilizada se mostrou viável uma vez que foi possível alcançar até 70,9% de sobrevivência para os indivíduos resgatados; D) No estudo sobre o modelo de plantio foram amostrados 143 espécies, demonstrando que a função do grupo da diversidade vem sendo mantida e aumentando as chances de efetivação dos processos de sucessão. Os resultados mostraram que o grupo de Preenchimento apresentou-se com uma porcentagem de cobertura significativamente maior que a do grupo de Diversidade, sendo 73,6% e 83,3% para 1,5 e 2,5 anos respectivamente.Significant accumulation of know-how about restoration ecology has been changing forest restoration management programs trends during the last years. Choosing or elaborating a restoration model is a process that requires constant improvement and ecological studies that not only reduces the costs involved but also warrants the achievement of the aimed proposal. This study explores new restoration methodologies, searching for technical information about: A) autochthonous and allochthonous seed bank expression on forest restoration at different situations degraded by anthropogenic disturbances; B) seedlings and woody growing individuals rescue; C) efficiency of a planting model based on fulfillment and diversity concept; D) landscape development. The autochthonous and allochthonous seed bank were analyzed through regenerating woody species and density scouting. For the rescue of regenerating woody species, seedling and young individuals were taken from a forest and transferred to a plant nursery for adjustment, where number and species were counted regarding density and survival. In this studied planting model, species were organized and gathered into a fulfillment or diversity group, and each individual had its crown area quantified. Landscape development was analyzed by photointerpretation and specially by periodical field checking. Results from these methodologies showed that: A) Identified degraded situations at Intermontes farm displayed distinguished natural regeneration expression, influenced by the number of germinated seeds of the autochthonous seed bank. Advantage can be taken from these different outcomes by using distinct restoration methodologies for each studied situation. B) For the autochthonous seed bank study, germinated seed density was 409,334 ind./ha, indicating its potential role on restoration programs. Woody individuals at fertilized sites had a medium height enhancement of 137,7% when compared to those at non fertilized sites. C) For seedlings and woody growing individuals rescue, individual density was similar for both seasons (38700ind./ha and 37900ind./ha) but significantly distinct for individual survivor, with values of 16500ind./ha for July and 2600ind./ha for December. Rescue technique turned out to be a viable possibility since it achieved survival of 70,9% for rescued individuals. D) This planting model study registered 143 species, indicating that the diversity groups role has been maintained and enhances the chance of successional process success.

Full textAbstract:
L'objet de cette étude est la résolution d'un problème inverse inédit, à savoir la localisation d'un avion supersonique à partir de signaux acoustiques enregistrés par une station de mesure unique. La distance de l'aéronef à la station de mesure est a priori inconnue, mais peut varier de quelques dizaines à quelques centaines de kilomètres ou davantage. Les signaux exploités à l'occasion de ce travail se situent généralement dans la gamme infrasonore, au-dessous de 20 Hz voire de 10 Hz. L'ONERA ayant mené des campagnes de mesure en Bretagne lors des premiers vols commerciaux transatlantiques de l'avion Concorde, les premières exploitations ont consisté à reprendre les données de ces campagnes et à développer à cette occasion un code de propagation acoustique basé sur la théorie des rayons. Le code de l'ONERA existant SIMOUN a été adapté en trois dimensions pour pouvoir tenir compte de la météorologie réelle et a reçu un certain nombre d'aménagements, dont le calcul de l'atténuation acoustique en fonction de la fréquence et la prise en compte de la rotondité de la Terre dont la négligence aurait entraîné des erreurs importantes aux grandes distances. Le calcul de niveau acoustique étant peu significatif aux distances considérées, des méthodes inédites basées sur l'analyse spectrale ont été développées. Associées à une technique de goniométrie basée notamment sur le calcul des fonctions d'intercorrélation temporelles, elles nous permettent de localiser l'avion supersonique en gisement-distance. Une première méthode, valable jusqu'à 200 kilomètres environ, est basée sur la divergence en fonction de la distance à l'aéronef de l'onde de pression en N correspondant au bang sonique. Il en résulte une modification du spectre en arche caractéristique de cette onde qui peut être corrélée avec la distance de propagation sous réserve de connaître l'onde en N initialement émise, reliée à la vitesse et à la géométrie de l'avion. Une seconde méthode beaucoup plus générale consiste à évaluer l'augmentation de la pente du spectre de l'onde en N, sachant que l'absorption atmosphérique, proportionnelle à la distance parcourue, augmente avec la fréquence et que la dissipation des effets non-linéaires a également tendance à augmenter la pente du spectre du signal. Cette méthode semble convenir pour des distances comprises entre 200 et 1000 km environ et présente l'avantage d'être indépendante des caractéristiques de la source sonore. Afin de pallier aux limitations de cette méthode, principalement liées au rapport signal sur bruit, l'analyse de signaux enregistrés en Suède à 3000 km de l'avion suggère d'utiliser pour les très grandes distances une méthode basée sur la durée totale du signal. Cette durée augmente en effet avec la distance, en rapport avec le phénomène classique de "rumble" qui transforme en roulement de tonnerre le signal impulsionnel émis par un coup de foudre.

Objetiva-se compreender o processo de territorializa??o dos servi?os banc?rios e como isso se configura no plano da exist?ncia do territ?rio e da economia pol?tica urbana no atual per?odo, tomando como recorte emp?rico o estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Para tanto, foi necess?ria uma an?lise te?rica e emp?rica, em que ao mesmo tempo buscasse apreender a coisa em estudo como nexo e sistema, sendo necess?rios uma pesquisa bibliogr?fica e um levantamento de dados prim?rios e secund?rios. A tese ? de que a manifesta??o da expans?o dos servi?os banc?rios e financeiros constitui uma din?mica territorial dada pelos lugares a partir do arranjo normativo e t?cnico, invasor da vida cotidiana, constituindo uma dimens?o espacial que aqui se est? a chamar de Territ?rio (onto)L?gico. Territ?rio por tratar-se de uma discuss?o geogr?fica que enfatiza o controle efetivo de certas institui??es banc?rias sobre objetos e pr?ticas sociais. (Onto)l?gico corresponde, simultaneamente, a duas formas de ser-do-homem no mundo: 1) ser-do-espa?o, da? onto (relativo ao Ser, ao fazer-se humano, pois o homem ? sempre projeto que est?-por-ser, assim como o ? o espa?o geogr?fico e os processos, a exemplo da expans?o dos servi?os banc?rios); 2) ser-no-espa?o, que corresponde a uma l?gica de apreens?o do espa?o: condi??o para uma ordem de dispers?o de objetos e organiza??es, da? l?gico (relativo ao uso do lugar mediante intencionalidade que visa apreend?-lo como campo a ser preenchido por arranjos de objetos e a??es estrat?gicas). Como resultado desse processo tem-se o lugar enquanto base de concretiza??o da integra??o financeira do territ?rio constitutivo de forma-a??es banc?rias herdadas (ag?ncias banc?rias) e novas vari?veis (correspondentes banc?rios e novos arranjos t?cnicos, cient?ficos, informacionais e comunicacionais: computador e celular plugados ? internet), cuja expressividade no plano da economia urbana caracteriza-se por elos cada vez mais intensos entre circuito superior e circuito inferior. Portanto, no territ?rio (onto)l?gico, h? a exist?ncia enquanto um recurso dos atores hegem?nicos, realizada por uma ordem da dispers?o dos fixos e das a??es banc?rios (l?gica), influenciando direta ou indiretamente na organiza??o da exist?ncia ou (re)produ??o social (onto), que por sua vez tamb?m solidariza-se ? forma como essa dispers?o ocorre ou pode ocorrer, pois a dimens?o do territ?rio enquanto abrigo dos atores hegemonizados ? fundamental na realiza??o dessa disputa territorial banc?ria.
This study aims to understand the territorial process of banking services in Rio Grande do Norte State, which took the places find themselves integrated into the banking system's point of view, seeking to reflect how is configured in terms of the existence of the territory. For this, a theoretical and empirical analysis was required in which at the same time would seek to grasp the phenomenon under study as a link and system, requiring a literature search and a survey of primary and secondary data. The effective manifestation of territorialization of banking and financial services verified in RN is a dynamic and territorial expression given by the different uses of the places by banking actors from banking-fixed locational arrangements, that leverage the social, economic, regulatory, technical and objective conditions and subjective places, which together form the existential content of the places, at the same time in that promote them, serving and creating new demands of consumption and their banking services. It is a locational strategical process, in which space is the condition of realization by engaging at the same time, spatiality as shelter (the existential manner of places given by the social content) and spatiality as a resource (making profit in these places, through the use and/or creation of content-forms for this purpose), promoting the banking integration of norte-rio-grandense territory, expressed in dense and rarefied areas as servants mechanisms. It was found, among other things, that as the norte-rio-grandense geographical area is made up of banking and financial objects (agencies, banking service centers, Automatic Teller Machine (ATMs) and correspondents), for example, that materiality is not enough to determine the nature the banking integration of that state. They are the proper places on whether or not permit the presence and operation of one or other of these channels, which shows that it is the geographic space sine qua non of the geographical dispersion of using mechanisms from their elements. This because is the existence of these places a feature of hegemonic actors, performed by an order of the dispersion of fixed and banking stocks, influencing directly or indirectly in the organization of the existence or (re) production, which in turn also is sympathized to the way this dispersion occurs or may occur. Finally, the places were never a leveled field where the (re) production of certain elements, in this case the banks could establish their domain with the same strategic mechanisms. The places were and are forms-content varied, existentially and so is dependent on the locational range of types of fixed and flows in them, at different times, and the strategic construction of the most prominent elements of the uses thereof, setting the territory as variable of profit accumulation.

O Complexo migmatítico-graniulítico-granítico Nova Venécia (CNV), localizado no núcleo do Orógeno Araçuaí (OA, 630-480 Ma), sudeste do Brasil, registra processos crustais anatéticos ocorridos no norte da Província Mantiqueira durante a amalgamação Brasiliana-Pan Africana de Gondwana Ocidental. O núcleo do OA compreende abundantes e volumosos granitoides tipo-S e –I (Supersuítes G1 a G5), que são espacialmente e temporalmente associados a eventos metamórficos de alto grau no NVC. Este estudo integra observações de campo, análises de química mineral, petrografia, geocronologia U-Pb LAICP- MS de zircões e monazitas e modelagem termodinâmica, a fim de definir a evolução dos migmatitos-granulitos do CNV, desde sua deposição até o metamorfismo de alto grau, e correlacionar a história metamórfica com os vários episódios de magmatismo granítico (G1-G5). Sete populações compõe a base de dados de zircões detríticos. A gama mais significativa de zircões detríticos concordantes zircão são representados pelas duas populações mais jovens, variando 650-610 Ma. Isso indica que a principal fonte do CNV é provavelmente o Arco Rio Doce, com contribuições menores de fontes contemporâneas ao Arco Rio Negro. Populações mais velhas sugerem proveniência dos primeiros registros do arco Rio Negro e de segmentos do OA relacionados a riftes de idades Criogeniana e Toniana. O período de sedimentação do CNV é limitado entre a idade máxima de sedimentação em ca. 606 Ma e a intrusão dos primeiros granitóides sin-colisionais (ca. 593 Ma), ou seja, durante ca. 13 Ma. Compilação dos dados disponíveis de U-Pb em zircão mostra que a maior parte dos granitoides G1 e G2 se cristalizaram contemporaneamente ao longo de um período de 15 Ma (595-570 Ma, com um pico a 575 Ma), interpretado como o período sin-colisional no OA. O período de pico metamórfico regional no OA é limitado em 575-560 Ma, o que pode ser uma consequência de magma underplating G1 + G2. Petrografia detalhada e análises de química mineral mostram diferentes assembléias de pico metamórfico (regional) que contêm quantidades variáveis de granada, ortopiroxênio e cordierita peritéticos e cordierite retrógrada. Sugerimos que essas diferenças são principalmente devidas a parâmetros de composição dos protólitos, e não devidas a diferentes evoluções de P-T entre as amostras. A química de rocha total neste estudo sugere que os protólitos do CNV eram grauvacas peraluminosas contendo diferentes quantidades de componentes de matriz (isto é, porções pelíticas) e que as rochas de alto-grau do CNV devem ter perdido melt para terem se tornado caracteristicamente restíticas. Isto é corroborado pelo nosso conjunto de dados de zircões detríticos, que mostram diferentes contribuições percentuais entre as 7 populações que compõem as amostras. Além disso, a modelagem termodinâmica indica que todas as amostras modeladas registram um caminho P-T semelhante, desde condições PT de metamorfismo regional de pico a 750-850 ° C e 5300-7500 bares (granulito, profundidades de ~ 25 km) a condições de estabilidade das assembléias preservadas a 640- 800 ° C e 4500-6000 bares (transição entre amfibolito superior a granulito, profundidades de ~ 18 km). Infere-se que o metamorfismo regional de alto grau (575-560 Ma) deve ter afetado ambos os metassedimentos e granitos pré-existentes, corroborado pelo fato de que ambos mostram feições anatéticas datadas em ca. 571 Ma. Os produtos da fusão parcial em todo o OA poderia ser, pelo menos, parte dos granitóides contemporâneos àqueles formados durante os períodos G2 (570-540 Ma) e G3 + G4 (540-525 Ma). O evento térmico póscolisional G5 (520-480 Ma), relacionado ao colapso tectônico do OA, é registrado em metagrauvacas (monazita U-Pb) e em granitos (monazita e zircão U-Pb) entre 507 e 495 Ma. Sugerimos que, a essa altura, as metagrauvacas já haviam sido submetidas a alguma descompressão e arrefecimento, com base em modelagem metamórfica, observações de campo e datação de um dique tardio não deformado que intrude rochas do CNV (518 Ma). Infere-se que o evento termal pós-colisional G5, registrado por abundantes intrusões de granitoides tipo-I em todo o OA, causou um segundo período de metamorfismo de alto-grau a ca. 500 Ma. A principal característica deste evento em rochas metassedimentares é, além das idades U-Pb em monazitas, um overprint parcial de Baixa Pressão-Alta Temperatura em assembléias regionais de pico, gerando cordierita texturalmente tardia e espinélio hercinítico. Em nossas amostras, este registro metamórfico limita-se a auréolas de contato. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
ABSTRACT: The Nova Venécia migmatite-granulite-granite Complex (NVC) in the core of the Araçuaí Orogen (AO, 630-480 Ma), southeast Brazil, records anatectic crustal processes occurring in the northern Mantiqueira Province during the Brasiliano-Pan African amalgamation of West Gondwana. The AO core comprises abundant S- and I-type granitoids (G1 to G5 Supersuites) that are spatially and temporally associated with high-grade metamorphic events in the NVC. This study integrates field-based observations, textural and mineral chemistry analyses, zircon and monazite U-Pb LA-ICP-MS geochronology and thermodynamic modeling in order to constrain the evolution of the NVC migmatites-granulites from deposition to high-grade metamorphism, and to correlate the metamorphic history with the several episodes of granite magmatism (G1-G5). Seven populations compose the NVC zircon detrital dataset. The most significant range of concordant detrital zircon ages are obtained from the two youngest populations, ranging from 650 to 610 Ma. This indicates the main NVC source is probably the Rio Doce Arc, with minor contributions from sources contemporaneous to the Rio Negro Arc. Older populations suggest provenance from the early Rio Negro arc and from Cryogenian and Tonian rift-related segments of the AO. The period of NVC protolith sedimentation is bracketed between its maximum sedimentation age at ca. 606 Ma and the intrusion of early syn-collisional granitoids (ca. 593 Ma), i.e. ca. 13 My. Compilation of the available U-Pb data shows that the bulk of the G1 and G2 rocks crystalized contemporaneously over a period of 15 Ma (595-570 Ma, with a peak at 575 Ma), interpreted to represent the AO syn-collisional period. The period of peak regional metamorphism in the AO is constrained at 575-560 Ma, which may be a consequence of G1 + G2 magma underplating. Detailed petrography and extensive mineral chemistry analyses show different (regional) peak metamorphic assemblages containing variable amounts of peritectic garnet, orthopyroxene and cordierite, and retrograde cordierite. We suggest these differences are mainly due to protoliths compositional parameters, and not due to different P-T evolution among samples. Our whole-chemistry suggests that NVC protoliths were peraluminous greywackes probably containing different amounts of matrix components (i.e. pelitic portions) and that NVC high-grade metagreywackes must have lost melt to become restitic in character. This is corroborated by our detrital zircon dataset showing different percentage contributions from 7 populations among samples. Moreover, thermodynamic modeling indicates that all modeled samples record a similar P-T path, recording P-T conditions of peak regional metamorphism of 750-850 °C and 5300-7500 bars (granulite, depths of ~25 km) and stability of preserved assemblages of 640-800 °C and 4500-6000 bars (transition between upper amphibolite to granulite, depths of ~18 km). The high-grade regional metamorphism (575-560 Ma) is inferred to have affected both metasediments and pre-existing granites, as suggested by partial melting in both of sampled rock-types at ca. 571 Ma. The products of partial melting throughtout the AO could be at least part of the granitoids contemporaneous to G2 (570- 540 Ma) and G3 + G4 (540-525 Ma) periods. The post-collisional G5 thermal event (520-480 Ma), related to tectonic collapse of OA, is recorded in metagraywackes (monazite U-Pb) and granites (monazite and zircon U-Pb) between 523 and 495 Ma. We infer that, by this time, the metagreywackes had already undergone some decompression and cooling, based on metamorphic modeling, field observations and dating an undeformed late dyke (518 Ma). The post-collisional G5 thermal event, recorded by abundant granitic intrusions of I-type granitoids throughout the AO, is inferred to have caused a second high-grade metamorphic event at ca. 500 Ma. In addition to monazite U-Pb ages, the main record of this event in metasedimentary rocks is a partial LP-HT overprinting in regional peak assemblages, with generation of texturally late cordierite and hercynitic spinel. In our samples, this metamorphic record is limited to contact aureoles.

O objetivo desta tese é analisar o processo de trabalho no setor bancário a partir da experiência de uma grande corporação de capital privado que negocia suas ações em âmbito internacional. A questão central que norteia esta pesquisa consiste em verificar como as pressões competitivas contemporâneas, marcadas pela lógica do curto prazo dos mercados financeiros, ou de um capitalismo financeirizado, reverberam no cotidiano dos trabalhadores. A maximização do retorno ao acionista em tempos cada vez mais comprimidos leva a novas formas de racionalizar o trabalho que influencia diretamente o modo de se inserir nesses ambientes. Nesse contexto, o papel atribuído às tecnologias da informação é fundamental para estabelecer novas formas de controle e intensificar o ritmo de trabalho. A gestão por resultados ou os programas de metas são a expressão mais acabada da lógica do curto prazo no ambiente corporativo bancário. Eles representam a espinha dorsal do sistema meritocrático que desconsidera as realizações dos trabalhadores no médio e longo prazo influenciando diretamente as formas de interação social, afetando o bem-estar físico e mental dos trabalhadores, assim como a relação com os clientes.The objective of this thesis is to analyze the work process in the banking sector from the point of the experience of a large private capital corporation which negotiates its shares on an international level. The central question which orients this research consists in verifying how the contemporary competitive pressures, marked by the short term logic of the financial markets, or of a finance capitalism, reverberate in the day to day of the workers. The maximization of return to the shareholders in increasingly tighter times brings one to new forms of rationalizing the work which directly influence the means of insertion into this environment. In this context the role attributed to information technology is fundamental in establishing new forms of control and intensifying the rhythm of work. Management by result or goal programs are a more worn out expression of short term logic in the corporative banking environment. They represent the dorsal spine of the meritocratic system which fails to consider the achievements of workers in the medium to long term, directly influencing the forms of social interaction, affecting the physical and mental well-being of the workers, and even relations with clients.

Previous issue date: 2001-11-30The Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) are a successful product of the bank and a financial organization around the world. This research means investigate the changes in a Brazilian state bank, when the Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), were utilized in client services. To realized the research, we interview the employers that participated of the implemented project of ATMs. We made an choice of persons that started the procedures to introduce the equipment. We use a exploratory qualitative methodology by clinical interview and applied a semi-structured questionnaire. To explained the process, we analyzed the ATMs and automation history, the bank history and aspect of the information systems, indicate the facilities and problems for introduce the ATMs. In the early days of ATMs implementation, two other banks had the equipment and the technology to use these. The cause for our bank had implemented the ATMs in yours current services, was to offer more modern technological resources. To realized the ATM project, the employers were inexperienced and the bank no had the necessary structure to do. Problems of hardware, software, installation and system administration had in the role of the vulgar works. Also, the project generate problems with the union. Today, the ATMs are synonymous of successful, but we verify, in this research the difficulties and problems to implementation development.

AbstractThe dominance of deposit money means commercial banks play a leading role in money creation. This chapter puts this situation in a historical context. The functioning of our financial monetary system and the role of banks have changed fundamentally over time. The chapter reveals that what we take for granted today was often far from self-evident yesterday. We focus on the Netherlands and discuss four periods in turn: (1) the ‘long nineteenth century’ up to the First World War, with an emphasis on the 1870−1914 period, (2) the interwar period (1918−1939), (3) the Bretton Woods period (1944−1973) and (4) the decades leading up to the latest financial crisis (1973−2008).

AbstractUniversities and higher education institutions (HEIs) have always been key actors in society. Their capacity for knowledge production, their constant enquiry into new possibilities of approaching reality and its problems, and their critical thinking have always been highly valued by society. Universities have always accompanied society in its development and will continue doing so. They are a public good and a social right. Society requires a safe space where the freedom to think and freedom of speech exist to reflect on and serve society’s needs. This is why society has granted universities the autonomy to organize and govern themselves, with the sole condition being that universities commit to giving back to society the results of the knowledge they generate.

Geographic coor-dinates to the center of the Temryuk prospecting areas: 37 degrees 12 minutes 30 seconds of eastern latitude, 47 degrees 3 minutes of 30 seconds of northen latitude. The lining materials are widely used in construction as an excellent long-term and durable material. The following types of topo-graphic and geodetic works were performed during the search and assessment works within the Temryuk prospecting areas: geodetic justification; concentration of geodetic laying-out; geophysical support of ground magnetic survey over a network of 100x10 m; binding of drilled wells to points of geodetic laying-out (planned and high-altitude). Temryuk prospecting areas of plagiogranite lin-ing materials has favorable mining and geological conditions for development into blocks. The pro-cessing of scientific works of the world geological community regarding granite (plagiogranite) de-posits led us to the conclusion that the granites of the Temryuk area of the Volodarskyi area have higher geological and economic indicators, the study of which is a further goal for the authors.

A lack of reliable credit risk measurements and poor control of credit risks has caused massive financial losses across a wide spectrum of business. Financial institutions like banks have not been able to control and contain the rapid increases of the credit defaulting. In this paper, we address the credit lending challenges by eliminating credit defaulting faced by the banking industry. Data from bank of previously accepted and rejected loan applicants was used to construct a credit risk evaluation network. The artificial neural network technique with back-propagation algorithm was applied to develop a model that supports the banks in the credit granting decision-making. The model was trained to categorize applicants as either good (credit granted) or bad (credit denied) based on the credit record. The model was able to predict whether a particular applicant is likely or unlikely to repay the credit. The training of neural network model and validation testing was done using data obtained from the bank. The results show a greater performance, classification and prediction accuracy.

Full textAbstract:
The World Bank is the most important financier for international investment. The bank opens credits mostly for investment projects in developing countries. Turkey has received various investment credits since its membership to the World Bank on March 11, 1947. The credits were used for economic and social domains. Turkey has also been granted credits from the European Investment Bank (EIB). The credits received are composed of micro credits that belong to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). A regional development bank, Islamic Development Bank, has also received credits through Eximbank and Industrial Development Bank of Turkey (TSKB) to finance Turkish SMEs. This chapter deals with Turkish investment strategies in the framework of basic principles of investment – development banks.

Full textAbstract:
As Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) can describe the reflection and scattering characteristic of solid material surface better, an experiment which is based on the basic concept of BRDF and combined with the effects on surface profile from surface wettability theory and wet condition, was carried out for comparison. Using the white standard plate as a single sample for reference on a self-built experiment table, the BRDF values of the surface of three exterior decorative materials for buildings, namely granite, coated glass and Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer (EPDM), were measured under the conditions of dry and wet, on two wavebands (visible light band 0.6328μm and near infrared band 1.34μm) and at different incident angles. After the comparison of distribution, the results indicate that if forming stable water-film, which has the function of translucent smooth interface, above the surface of the three materials, their BRDF values will demonstrate obvious specular reflection component to different degree.

Full textAbstract:
The main aim of this study is to identify the main development problems and the affecting factors of the agricultural sector of Kyrgyzstan. In order to achieve the goal, the relationship between the agricultural sector’s export, import, the employment rate and the amount of loans granted to the agricultural sector was analyzed by the ARDL cointegration method. Annual data for the period 1992-2014 was used in the analysis. According to the empirical results, a 1% increase in exports was found to increase agricultural production by 0.23% in the short term, while a 1% increase in the price index of agricultural products would increase production by 0.41%. In the long run it has been revealed that the production of agricultural products is affected by the increase in prices of agricultural products, the employment rate and the exports of agricultural products. The effect of the bank loans is weak. As a result, the state must implement an appropriate pricing policy in order to develop the agricultural sector.

Full textAbstract:
Este artigo propõe um método de otimização topológica para o projeto ótimo de uma máquina síncrona com ímãs permanentes na superfície do rotor (SM-PMSM). Para tanto foi desenvolvido um algoritmo, que, associando o método dos Tensores (Back-EMF MST) à métodos de otimização evolucionária (Algoritmo Genético Compacto e Estratégias de Evolução), permitiu ao processo de otimização um número menor de avaliações, haja visto a grande dimensão de análises de elementos finitos de uma SM-PMSM. Para determinar os parâmetros de otimização, foram consideradas os efeitos de saturação e as densidades de fluxo magnético no entreferro quando submetido a carga nominal. Verificou-se que o método proposto proporciona ao projeto da SM-PMSM uma redução na ondulação do torque eletromagnético em torno de 37% bem como uma redução no volume estrutural de 38,23%. Além disso, a saturação presente na força contra eletromotriz (Back-EMF) é reduzida, tendo o comportamento em carga similar ao comportamento à vazio.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Nigeria holds reserves circa 200 TCF of gas, the largest gas reserve in Africa. With this comes the challenge of managing the environmental impacts of flaring associated with oil production. The Federal Government of Nigeria in recognition of the urgency to address the growing environmental concerns attending gas flaring in Nigeria and response to its commitment made further to the endorsement of UNFCC's Paris Agreement and the Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative by the World Bank declared a national flare out target of 2020. In 2016, the Federal Executive Council approved the implementation of the Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialization Programme (NGFCP) which was the flagship programme for the implementation of the Government's flare-out policy. The programme seeks to, via a competitive and transparent bid process, grant the right to access the gas at the flare-stack. The issues of relevance to this study include – The development and subsequent enactment of new regulations guiding the treatment of flare gas in Nigerian oilfields – The regulations implemented a new flare payment regime adopting the polluter pays principle which internalized to a significant extent the environmental cost of flaring thereby motivating a behavioral change by operators. Also, the recognition of the carbon benefits that will follow the implementation of projects under the NGFCP and the stance of the government that any such benefits will be vested in the state. This study examines the carbon trading potentials of flare gas in Nigeria. This is key because players in the sector now seek all revenue opportunities that accrue to the implementation of flare down/ out project. In doing so, Carbon benefits now feature among potential revenue streams. This study models several composition scenarios to quantify the extent (if any) of any such benefits. The study also examines gas use cases and their carbon sequestration potentials to create a realistic band estimating the carbon benefits that will emanate from all use scenarios.

Full textAbstract:
The FB-combustion of several biomass fuels (bark, wood in different forms, biosludge, chicken litter, REF and forest residue) with different bed materials (quartz, natural sand, and recently introduced GR Granule) has been studied in this work. The bed samples have been collected during the laboratory, pilot, and full scale tests. The chemical composition of the coating layers and agglomerates were characterized by SEM-EDX. Line scans, point analyses, and X-ray maps were used to characterize the coating layers further. It was observed that the chemical composition of the coating of the bed particles depends both on the fuel type and on the bed material. The thickness of coating layers was also dependent on fuel and combustion history. The coatings were often seen to contain several superimposed layers. The innermost layer mainly contained alkali silicates, whereas the outermost layer was calcium-rich or magnesium-rich. In some cases the coating layers seem to protect the bed particles from agglomeration.

Full textAbstract:
As a matter of fact, it is usually taken for granted that the occurrence of unauthorized behaviors is necessary for the fraud detection in online payment services. However, we seek to break this stereotype in this work. We strive to design an ex-ante anti-fraud method that can work before unauthorized behaviors occur. The feasibility of our solution is supported by the cooperation of a characteristic and a finding in online payment fraud scenarios: The well-recognized characteristic is that online payment frauds are mostly caused by account compromise. Our finding is that account theft is indeed predictable based on users' high-risk behaviors, without relying on the behaviors of thieves. Accordingly, we propose an account risk prediction scheme to realize the ex-ante fraud detection. It takes in an account's historical transaction sequence, and outputs its risk score. The risk score is then used as an early evidence of whether a new transaction is fraudulent or not, before the occurrence of the new transaction. We examine our method on a real-world B2C transaction dataset from a commercial bank. Experimental results show that the ex-ante detection method can prevent more than 80\% of the fraudulent transactions before they actually occur. When the proposed method is combined with an interim detection to form a real-time anti-fraud system, it can detect more than 94\% of fraudulent transactions while maintaining a very low false alarm rate (less than 0.1\%).

The Panel discussion titled “The Presidential Employment Stimulus: Research Opportunities”, was hosted on 10 December 2020 by the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) at the Science Forum South Africa (SFSA) 2020. The Presidential Employment Stimulus was launched in parliament on 15 October as part of government’s Economic Recovery Strategy. It directly funds 800,000 employment opportunities that are being implemented within the current financial year, but it is anticipated that it will also become a medium-term programme. The stimulus includes public employment programmes, job retention programmes and direct support to livelihoods. The single largest programme is run by the Department of Basic Education, which, in the last fortnight, recruited 300,000 young people as school assistants, to assist schools to deal with the setbacks faced as a result of the pandemic. The stimulus supports employment in the environmental sector and over 75,000 subsistence producers are receiving production grants through an input voucher scheme. There is a once-off grant to assist over 100,000 registered and unregistered Early Childhood Development Practitioners back on their feet, as well as a significant stimulus to the creative sector. The session set out to provide an introduction to the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP), a key programme within government’s economic recovery plan led by Dr Kate Philip. The key objective was to get input from the research community on how the work that they are already doing and future work could contribute to the M&E efforts and be augmented in such a way that the PESP could become a medium-term programme. The DSI plans to hold further engagements in 2021 to mobilise the wider research community to provide evidence-based research in order to shape the research agenda that would support the M&E work and identify short-term issues that need to be factored into the department’s work plans, under the guidance of Dr Philip.
