Abstract:
Abstract The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement (PA) submitted so far do not put the world on track to meet the targets of the Agreement and by 2020 countries should ratchet up ambition in the new round of NDCs. Brazil’s NDC to the PA received mixed reviews and has been rated as “medium” ambition. We use the Brazil Land Use and Energy System (BLUES) model to explore low-emission scenarios for Brazil for the 2010–2050 period that cost-effectively raise ambition to levels consistent with PA targets. Our results reinforce the fundamental role of the agriculture, forest, and land use (AFOLU) sectors and explore inter-sectoral linkages to power generation and transportation. We identify transportation as a prime candidate for decarbonization, leveraging Brazil’s already low-carbon electricity production and its high bioenergy production. Results indicate the most important mitigation measures are electrification of the light-duty vehicle (LDV) fleet for passenger transportation, biodiesel and biokerosene production via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis from lignocellulosic feedstock, and intensification of agricultural production. The use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) as well as netzero deforestation make significant contributions. We identify opportunities for Brazil, but synergies and trade-offs across sectors should be minded when designing climate policies.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Beards are an indication that man has reached maturity. It is with this idea in mind that the songs from the second album by artist Baco Exu do Blues, Bluesman, are analyzed. At the early age of 22, in his act of creation, Baco criticized the conditions of socioeconomic inequality and racism imposed on people of African descent, acting as an ideological sign in the construction of a Black Consciousness. As a symbol of insurgency, Baco also used mythical language to compose an identity and format his rap, creating a hero. Hip hop criticizes racial capitalism, established in Brazil with the colonization and the arrival of enslaved Africans. The compositions are analyzed as cries of resistance to necropolitics – a call to perform acts that relate ethical values and poetry when doing politcs.

Abstract:
Rock e política se enamoram desde o surgimento do gênero em meados da década de 1950, aliás, as “raízes” do rock and roll, como o blues, rhythm & blues, country e western já traziam motes da política. E no caso do denominado rock nacional dos anos 80 e sua ligação com a política não foi diferente. Desse modo, este artigo busca tratar historicamente da relação entre rock e política, ou seja, interpretar versos e acordes que ressoaram na acústica nacional entre arpejos e timbres de desesperanças com um futuro promissor do país, como na canção O adventista, da banda Camisa de Vênus; a descrença com o movimento estudantil retratada na canção Fé nenhuma dos Engenheiros do Hawaii; e o vazio político e a falta de ideologia representada pela canção Ideologia, de Cazuza.

Abstract:
During the reproductive season Blue-black grassquit (Volatinia jacarina) males are found in clusters, wherein they exhibit a distinctive display that consists of repeated, vertical leaps while simultaneously producing a brief vocalization. The main objective of this study was to describe details of the species' reproductive behavior in a "Cerrado" area of central Brazil and compare these data with some studies carried out in other areas. The data obtained concerning different aspects of nesting, laying and hatching were generally similar to those obtained in previous studies in other areas. However, we found that the typical clutch size of two eggs per nest is lower, and egg and nestling mortality rates higher in our area than what has been reported elsewhere. Our results suggest that males differ in time expended with different activities according to their reproductive condition and also provide extensive parental care. We found that display execution rates peak in the early morning and in the late afternoon and are higher in the middle of the breeding season. We also found that there is an inverse relation between the height of the display leap and the height of the perch.

AbstractPhysical, crystal-chemical and absorption spectroscopical properties of blue tourmalines from a new occurrence in the State of Paraiba, Brazil, are described. Refractive indices, birefringence and specific gravity have been determined as ne = 1.615–1.620, no = 1.632–1.640, Δn=−0.017 to −0.020 and 3.04–3.07g/cm3. Microprobe analyses proved the samples to be elbaites, which are relatively Mn-rich and contain 2.1 wt. % CuO and 0.5 wt. % Bi2O3. Lattice constants are ao = 15.854(4) and co = 7.102(1) Å. The blue colour is due to pleochroic absorption bands of Cu2+ and Mn3+ with maxima at 700 and 520 nm respectively.

Abstract:
Se a tradução envolve leitura e reescrita, nós poderíamos questionar o modo como se lê antes de questionar o modo como se reescreve. A tradução de poesia parece continuamente lidar com problemas de ritmo, rima, sintaxe, sentido, registro linguístico. Mas e se o tradutor, entendendo a leitura como performance, recolocar tais questões sob a perspectiva de outra mídia, que possa libertá-lo das restrições da escrita? O pesquisador Peter Low (2003) provoca os tradutores de poesia a se questionarem se desejam que seus textos sejam vocalizados (recitados, musicados etc.), e não apenas lidos silenciosamente. Haveria, então, uma alteração funcional e, consequentemente, um texto de chegada com um skopos diferente (REISS e VERMEER, 1996). Trata-se de trabalhar com a força latente da voz no texto; com uma possibilidade de performance inscrita na mídia escrita: a vocalidade, como coloca Paul Zumthor (1993). O poeta negro estadunidense Langston Hughes (1902-67) escrevia poemas semelhantes a letras de blues e recitava seus versos no ato da criação, o que pode sugerir algo a respeito de um possível modo de ler, absorver e recriar sua poesia em outra língua. Nosso objetivo, portanto, é traduzir seus poemas de blues ao cantá-los e tocá-los no violão. As canções de blues resultantes, em português, estão registradas em CD que foi inserido como apêndice da tese. Nosso método consiste em musicá-los enquanto os traduzimos, pois a simultaneidade dos processos é precisamente aquilo que interfere nas escolhas linguísticas, influenciando aspectos de ritmo, sintaxe, sentido etc. Nossa hipótese envolve, então, a questão de como os modos de dizer da canção popular, numa dada língua-cultura, determinariam o resultado da tradução. Essa experimentação deve, segundo esperamos, contribuir para os Estudos da Tradução por redimensionar alguns aspectos do texto de acordo com a dinâmica da vocalização. Esses resultados são tanto acadêmicos, em termos da discussão sobre a própria tradução, quanto artísticos, como música de blues composta para o público brasileiro, apresentando Langston Hughes, relativamente pouco conhecido e traduzido no Brasil, na forma de um gênero musical que é amplamente disseminado por aqui.
If translation involves reading and rewriting, we might question how we read a text before questioning the rewriting. Poetry translation seems to continually deal with problems of rhythm, rhyme, syntax, meaning, register. What if the translator understands reading as performance in order to reconceive all those issues within the perspective of another medium, which could free him from the constraints of writing? Researcher Peter Low (2003) suggests that poetry translators ask themselves whether they would like their texts to be recited, set to music etc., rather than just silently read. There would be, then, a functional alteration, and the target text would have a different skopos (REISS and VERMEER, 1996). We propose working with the latent force of the voice in the text; with a possibility of performance inscribed in the written medium: the vocality of Paul Zumthor (1993). The Afro-American poet Langston Hughes (1902-67) wrote poems very similar to blues lyrics and knowingly spoke (or even sung) his lines while creating them. That might suggest something about a way to read, absorb and recreate his poetry in another language. Our goal, therefore, is to translate his blues poems while singing and playing them on the guitar. The resulting blues songs in Portuguese are registered on a CD attached to this thesis. Our method is to set them to music while translating them, because the simultaneity of the processes is exactly what might interfere in the linguistic choices, influencing aspects of rhythm, meaning etc. Our hypothesis involves, then, the discussion of how the modes of expression of the popular song, in a given system of language-culture, would determine the results of the translation. That sort of experimentation will hopefully contribute to the Translation Studies by rearranging certain aspects of the text according to the dynamics of vocalization. These results are both academic, in terms of the discussion about translation itself; and artistic, as blues music composed for the Brazilian audience, presenting Langston Hughes, relatively unknown and non-translated in Brazil, in the form of a musical genre which is widely disseminated here.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Relações Internacionais
O objeto desta tese é determinar a influência das reservas de petróleo off-shore do pré-sal, descobertas em 2006, na política externa brasileira, com base na teoria do Estado Logístico de Amado Cervo. Apresenta primeiro a política externa sem o pré-sal, a título de base para comparação. Em seguida explica-se a importância do pré-sal e as suas consequências a nível interno, assim como a criação do novo marco regulatório em 2010. Finalmente, são analisados diversos aspetos da política externa brasileira cuja evolução pode ser explicada pela descoberta dos recursos do pré-sal, nomeadamente a nível da política de segurança e defesa, da importância da Amazónia Azul, e dos relacionamentos e ambição de inserção internacional demonstrados pelo Brasil. A tese demonstra que o pré-sal não conduziu a uma grande reformulação da política externa brasileira, mas modificou certos parámetros: levou a um aumento da ênfase brasileira na segurança; e a um maior interesse no Oceano Atlântico e suas costas; reduziu o interesse na cooperação com a América do Sul; e deu maior credibilidade às ambições de liderança global do Brasil.
The aim of this thesis is to determine the influence of the offshore pre-salt oil reserves discovered in 2006 on Brazilian foreign politcy, using Amado Cervo's Logistic State theory as basis. It first presents Brazilian foreign policy without the pre-salt resources as a comparison. The importance and internal consequences of the pre-salt are then explained, as well as the creation of the new regulatory framework in 2010. The thesis finally analyses various aspects of Brazilian foreign policy which can be explained through the pre-salt resource finds, namely in terms of security and defence, importance of the “Amazônia Azul” area, and international relations and ambitions of insertion demonstrated by Brazil. The thesis shows that the pre-salt did not lead to significant changes in Brazilian foreign policy, but it did change certain parameters: it led to an increase of Brazilian emphasis on security; and to a greater focus on the Atlantic Ocean and its coasts; favored a decrease in interest in South American cooperation; and gave more credibility to Brazil's ambitions of global leadership.

O tubarão azul, Prionace glauca, é considerado a espécie de elasmobrânquio encontrada em maior abundância, com ampla distribuição geográfica, alta taxa de natalidade e de rápido crescimento. Entretanto, também é a espécie mais explorada na pesca oceânica em nível mundial, o que tem levado a desequilíbrios estruturais das populações e aumentado as possibilidades de risco para a espécie. Em avaliações sobre o estado de conservação da espécie, realizadas no Brasil e também de maneira global, P. glauca foi classificada como “quase ameaçada”. Para o setor pesqueiro, a identificação de estoques diferenciados constitui informação fundamental pela sua relação direta com a produtividade total e uso sustentável dos recursos. A diferença nas freqüências de haplótipos de DNA entre amostras geográficas pode ser usada para estimar indiretamente padrões de diferenciação e de fluxo gênico e, portanto, a estrutura genética das amostras. Este trabalho utilizou amostras de tecidos musculares e epiteliais de tubarões azuis capturados pela frota pesqueira brasileira no Rio Grande do Sul (n = 38), São Paulo (n = 28) e Rio Grande do Norte (n = 31).

The blue shark, Prionace glauca, is the most abundant elasmobranch, with widest distribution, high birth rates and faster growth. However, it is also the most exploited species in the ocean fisheries worldwide, which has led to structural imbalances of their population and increased potential risk to the specie. In assessments of the state of conservation of the species, carried out in Brazil and globally, P. glauca was classified as near threatened according to IUCN categories. In fisheries, the stock identification are considered very important information due the direct relation with the total productivity and sustainable use of resources. The difference in the frequencies of haplotypes of DNA among geographic samples can be used to indirectly estimate patterns of differentiation and gene flow and thus the genetic structure of stocks. In the present study samples of muscle and epithelial tissues of blue sharks caught by the fishing fleet in Rio Grande do Sul (n = 38), São Paulo (n = 28) and Rio Grande do Norte (n = 31) estates were used. The levels of variability and genetic structure of the sampled regions were determined from the sequencing of mitochondrial DNA control region (D-loop). The use of this marker in P. glauca resulted in 16 polymorphic sites and 32 haplotypes. The nucleotide and haplotype diversity was, respectively, Hd = 0.89 ± 0.020 and π = 0.00258 ± 0.00013. The AMOVA test detected a moderate population subdivision among the sampled regions, with highest value of Fst = 0,103.

The aim of this study was to analyze the aspects of reproductive biology of Cichla piquiti (Blue Peacock Bass) in the reservoir of the Hydroelectric Plant of Serra da Mesa, an environment where they occur naturally (Rio Tocantins, Goiás, Brazil) was characterized. 217 specimens were sampled, with 109 females and 108 males over an annual reproductive cycle (October 2012 to September 2013) with the use of artificial lures. Biometric fish and macro and microscopic classification of gonadal maturation data provided the basis for investigation of the following reproductive parameters: 1) the type of spawning for gonad morphology at each stage of development; 2) the reproductive period, through the time of gonadal maturation frequencies of gonadosomatic index (GSI) and condition factor (K1 and K2); 3) the existence of reproductive seasonality; 4) the size at first maturity (L50); 5) the size of which 100% of the population is able to play (L100); 6) the composition of the population in total length and sex ratio, and 7) the length-weight relationship of the specie. The results indicated parceled spawning and intense reproductive activity in all months of the year, with no reproductive seasonality. No differences in sex ratio over the year. There was sexual dimorphism in growth, with positive allometric growth of males and females negative allometric growth. Males had higher amplitudes in total length and weight than females, and sizes of first maturation (L50) higher than females, and 32 cm for males and 33.5 cm for females. The L100 was estimated at 33.4 cm for males and 34.2 cm for females. The variation in body condition represented by the allometric condition factor (K1) less somatic (K2), varied only for females, as well as variations of the gonadosomatic index (GSI) in different stages of gonadal development were significant only for females, both possibly due to the weight of the testes negligible when compared to the ovaries. There was no significant temporal variations in the IGS and K1 of males and females, possibly by mature individuals occur and emptied throughout the year. Variations in air temperature, accumulated rainfall and reservoir volume did not affect the reproductive activity, which may indicate reproductive success of Cichla piquiti in more variable environmental conditions. Still, continuous monitoring of the population would be needed as measures for management and preservation of the species in its original basin.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os aspectos da biologia reprodutiva de Cichla piquiti (Tucunaré-azul) no reservatório da Usina Hidrelétrica de Serra da Mesa, um ambiente de sua ocorrência natural (rio Tocantins, Goiás, Brasil). Foram amostrados 217 espécimes, sendo 109 fêmeas e 108 machos ao longo de um ciclo reprodutivo anual (outubro de 2012 a setembro de 2013) com o emprego de iscas artificiais. Os dados biométricos dos peixes e da classificação macro e microscópicas dos estádios de maturação gonadal embasaram a investigação dos seguintes parâmetros reprodutivos: 1) o tipo de desova, pela morfologia das gônadas em cada estádio de desenvolvimento; 2) o período reprodutivo, através das frequências temporais dos estádios de maturação gonadal, do Índice Gonadossomático (IGS) e do Fator de Condição (K1 e K2); 3) a existência de sazonalidade reprodutiva; 4) o tamanho da primeira maturação (L50); 5) o tamanho em que 100% da população está apta à reprodução (L100); 6) a composição da população em comprimento total e proporção sexual; e 7) a relação pesocomprimento da espécie. Os resultados indicaram desova parcelada e intensa atividade reprodutiva em todos os meses do ano, não havendo sazonalidade reprodutiva. Não houve diferenças na proporção sexual ao longo do ano. Houve dimorfismo sexual no crescimento, com crescimento alométrico positivo dos machos e crescimento alométrico negativo das fêmeas. Os machos apresentaram maiores amplitudes de comprimento total e peso que as fêmeas, além de tamanhos de primeira maturação gonadal (L50) mais elevados que as fêmeas, sendo 32 cm para machos e 33,5 cm para fêmeas. O L100 foi estimado em 33,4 cm para machos e 34,2 cm para fêmeas. A variação na condição corporal representada pelo Fator de Condição somático (K2) variou somente para as fêmeas, assim como as variações do Índice Gonadossomático (IGS) nos diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento gonadal, ambos possivelmente em função do peso desprezível dos testículos quando comparados aos ovários. Não houve variações temporais expressivas do Índice Gonadossomático (IGS) e do Fator de Condição total (K1) de machos e fêmeas, possivelmente pela presença de indivíduos maduros e esvaziados durante todo o ano. As variações da temperatura do ar, precipitação acumulada e volume do reservatório não afetaram a atividade reprodutiva, o que pode indicar sucesso reprodutivo de Cichla piquiti nas mais variáveis condições do ambiente. Ainda assim, monitoramentos contínuos da população seriam necessários para manejo e preservação da espécie em sua bacia original.

Abstract:
O tubarão-azul, Prionace glauca, é uma das espécies de elasmobrânquios pelágicos, mais capturadas pela frota de espinhel-de-superfície. No presente estudo analisou-se o crescimento relativo e a idade de 83 embriões, provenientes de fêmeas grávidas capturadas em 1998, durante o Programa Avaliação do Potencial Sustentável de Recursos Vivos da Zona Econômica Exclusiva REVIZEE, na região Sudeste-Sul do Brasil. Foram analisados 48 caracteres morfométricos, verificando-se que entre as variáveis morfométricas mais expressivas, o comprimento furcal, o comprimento pré-caudal, o comprimento inicial da segunda nadadeira dorsal, o comprimento pré-anal e o comprimento pré-pélvico contribuíram com valores acima de 50% na composição do corpo do embrião. Por meio de regressões lineares de variáveis logaritmizadas, constatou-se alometria negativa em (53,2%), positiva em (36,1%) e isometria em (10,7%) dos caracteres morfométricos analisados. A idade de cada embrião foi estimada por meio da utilização do método da proporção direta modificada de Dahl-Lea, e os parâmetros de crescimento foram ajustados através das curvas de crescimento logística, de von Bertalanffy e de Gompertz. De acordo com os critérios de seleção de Akaike (AICmin, i e wi) e da soma dos quadrados dos erros (SQE), o modelo de Gompertz foi escolhido como o melhor representante do crescimento embrionário de P.glauca.
The blue shark, Prionace glauca, is a pelagic elasmobranchs, mainly captured by the Brazilian pelagic longline fleet. In this study we analyzed both the relative growth and the age of 83 of pregnant females captured in 1998 during the Program \"Evaluation of the Sustainable Potential of Living Resources of the Exclusive Economic Zone\" - REVIZEE in the Brazilian Southeast-South region. We analyzed 48 morphometric characters, showing that among the most expressive, fork length, the length pre-flow, the initial length of the second dorsal fin, the length pre-anal and the length pre-pelvic represented above 50% of the composition of the embryos bodies. By means of linear regressions of logarithmic morphometric variables values, we found negative allometry (53.2%), positive allometry (36.1%) and isometry in (10.7%). The age of each embryo was estimated applying the direct proportion of Dahl-Lea method modified, and the parameters of growth were adjusted to logistic growth curves of von Bertalanffy and Gompertz. According to the selection criteria of Akaike (AICmin, i and wi) and the sum of the squares of errors (SSE), the Gompertz model was chosen as the most representative of the growth of P.glauca embryos.

Abstract:
Eight friends were seated around the dining room table, two bulging photo albums at the ready, about to start a round of that curious adult version of Show and Tell known as Our Summer Vacation. Donna and Stanley had begun their album with pictures of Stanley delivering a lecture to clinical psychologists at the Catholic University of Campinas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. This was followed by page after page of lush, colorful South American scenery: snapshots of the mighty Iguazú Falls taken from the river below; towering walls of green vegetation along the Rio Paraná; a thick growth of native trees overtaking the exotic plantings left behind by the celebrated botanist Moises Bertoni at the remains of his agricultural experiment station in the Paraguayan province of Alto Paraná. Then there were pictures of Stan-ley and Donna with their Brazilian hosts, flanked by stately palms; pictures at their friends’ beautiful beach house in Ubatuba; pictures of costumed samba dancers; and more pictures of scarlet and blue macaws, gaudy toucans, purple bougainvilleas, brilliant butterflies, and the rich magnificence of one of the last remaining patches of Brazil’s Atlantic coastal forest. The album provided a breathtaking display of natural and human exuberance painted in a profusion of vivid reds, blues, yellows, and, above all, greens. I could almost smell the myriad fragrances borne on the tropical breeze and hear one of my favorite sounds, the chattering of parrots far above in the treetops. As the pages turned, the phrase “hot spots” came into my mind, that graphic term for those patches of exceptionally high biodiversity—many of them in the tropics—that receive the lion’s share of attention from conservation biologists and others dedicated to the preservation of endangered species. I thought of the conservation argument that says if we want to preserve life, look first at the places where, acre for acre, the most kinds of life exist—where an acre can yield a hundred species of trees instead of a handful, and more species of insects than most of us can imagine.

Abstract:
This chapter provides an overview of the international concrete poetry movement of the 1950s-70s, which frames the development of concrete poetry in England and Scotland. Concrete poetry first emerged in West Germany and Brazil in the early-to-mid 1950s, largely through the endeavours of Eugen Gomringer and the Noigandres poetry group. The earliest concrete poetry, defined in this text as ‘classical concrete’, was rooted in the aesthetics of constructivism, concrete art, modernist architecture, and literary modernism, as well as an interest in simplifying and clarifying language systems which was often connected to semiotics, especially information theory. A key impulse was the desire to develop transnational systems of linguistic communication, as the basis for post-war international dialogue. By the close of the 1960s, however, a different definition of concrete poetry, more connected to Dada, Futurism, and intermedia art, had taken hold worldwide. This variant of concrete was associated with the sixties counter-culture, and with a desire to tear down existing social institutions, expressed through non-linguistic or anti-linguistic impulses. To some extent this global narrative mirrors the story of concrete poetry’s development in England and Scotland, and can be traced by assessing the work of Finlay, Morgan, Houédard and Cobbing in turn.

Abstract:
The Santos Basin region is located in the southeast part of Brazilian offshore region and contains the most important presalt oil reservoirs. The oceanographic knowledge of this region is very important for the future challenges related with oil exploration and production. The Ocean Observing System for Santos Basin also known as Blue Project started in August 2012 and its main goal is the development of a pioneer ocean observing system for Santos Basin region (Brazil) based on ocean modeling applications and real time systematic ocean data collection [1]. The data collection program makes use of satellite remote sensing and in situ sensors such as surface drifters, floaters and gliders. The proposed methodology is based in three main research work branches: ocean and atmosphere modeling, real time ocean data collection and disclosure of all the generated information. In this work it will be presented the description of the applied methodology and the preliminary results achieved by the Project.
