This dissertation is the result of the survey carried out in the period from June 2014 to May 2016, linked to Graduate Program in Agricultural Education, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, had as general objective to characterize the relationship of agricultural education with the curriculum at the school of the field of Settlement Project Urumutum, in Tabatinga-Amazonas.The Urumutum Settlement Project was created by INCRA - National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform in 1987, after having been planned as Integrated Project of colonization. At the beginning 65 families (142 lots) were seated, after years of conflict by land on site, currently live more than 154 families considered posseiras in batches with problems of possession of the land.However, the research allowed us to develop the following specific objectives: to identify the forms of access and the development of public policies for agrarian reform on saddle Urumutum; analyze the ways of life and the social transformations on saddle Urumutum from the educational context; contextualizing the role of agricultural education for the formation of the students of the school of the field through the voices of the social actors.As methodological tools, we use the literature, which served as the construction for the theoretical and methodological frameworks, through numerous documents produced by rural social movements, in partnership with trade unions, public universities and education departments; documentary research, by comparing and interweaving of voices that come from various documentary sources, written and oral, as well as our participation in meetings and conferences, with access to the minutes and reports and oral history, using interviews and record of history of life of the subjects of the field involved in the educational process in the settlement: students, teachers, parents and family farmers.The study sought to answer the following question: how the curriculum of the school in the city of Tabatinga field (AM), works with agricultural education? From the application of methodological tools we trace a path that began with the context of rural settlements in the Amazon, bringing the agrarian question in the Amazon and the agrarian reform settlements in the context of Alto Solim?es. Then we highlight the history of the field of education, social movements, the struggle for education in Tabatinga and programs and Field Education actions under the IFAM - Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Amazonas, Campus Tabatinga. Following, we emphasize with a brief history of agricultural education in Brazil, followed by the cultural historical context of the School Marechal Castelo Branco, and finally, caught crossing issues related to the work, education and agricultural education in Settlement Urumutum. The study found that the consequences arising from the period of colonization of the Amazon, together with the land reform policy incipient, lack of public policies for the populationof the field, especially the educational, become visible to the need for reflection / action through new perspectives on the role of the state against the sustainable rural development of these populations. Above all, there is a need to strengthen the educational activities between the spheres of government and civil society, especially social movements, to ensure the construction of participatory educational projects that address the principles of the field of education as a fundamental part of the design education of the people of the field.
Esta disserta??o ? o resultado da pesquisa realizada no per?odo de junho de 2014 a maio de 2016, vinculada ao Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Educa??o Agr?cola, da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, teve como objetivo geral caracterizar a rela??o do ensino agr?cola com o curr?culo na escola do campo do Projeto de Assentamento Urumutum, em Tabatinga-Amazonas. O Projeto de Assentamento Urumutum foi criado pelo INCRA - Instituto Nacional de Coloniza??o e Reforma Agr?ria em 1987, ap?s ter sido planejado como Projeto Integrado de Coloniza??o. No in?cio 65 fam?lias (142 lotes) foram assentadas, ap?s anos de conflitos por terras no local, atualmente vivem mais de 154 fam?lias consideradas posseiras em lotes com problemas de posse das terras. Contudo, a pesquisa possibilitou desenvolver seguintes objetivos espec?ficos: identificar as formas de acesso e o desenvolvimento das pol?ticas p?blicas para a reforma agr?ria no assentamento Urumutum; analisar os modos de vida e as transforma??es sociais no assentamento Urumutum a partir do contexto educacional; contextualizar o papel do ensino agr?cola para a forma??o do discente da escola do campo por meio das vozes dos atores sociais. Como instrumentos metodol?gicos, utilizamos a pesquisa bibliogr?fica, que serviu de constru??o para os referenciais te?rico-metodol?gicos, por meio de in?meros documentos produzidos pelos movimentos sociais do campo, em parceria, com sindicatos, universidades p?blicas e secretarias de educa??o; a pesquisa documental, atrav?s da compara??o e entrecruzamento de vozes advindas de diversas fontes documentais, escritas e orais, al?m da nossa participa??o em reuni?es e congressos, com acesso ?s atas e relat?rios e a hist?ria oral, com a utiliza??o de entrevistas e registro da hist?ria de vida dos sujeitos do campo envolvidos com o processo educativo no assentamento. O estudo buscou responder o seguinte questionamento: como o curr?culo da escola do campo do munic?pio de Tabatinga (AM) trabalha com o ensino agr?cola? A partir da aplica??o dos instrumentos metodol?gicos tra?amos um caminho que iniciou com a contextualiza??o dos assentamentos rurais na Amaz?nia, trazendo para a quest?o agr?ria no Amazonas e o contexto dos assentamentos de reforma agr?ria no Alto Solim?es. Em seguida, destacamos o hist?rico da Educa??o do Campo, os movimentos sociais, a luta pela educa??o em Tabatinga e os programas e a??es de Educa??o do Campo no ?mbito do IFAM - Instituto Federal de Educa??o, Ci?ncia e Tecnologia do Amazonas, Campus Tabatinga. Seguindo, enfatizamos com um breve hist?rico o ensino agr?cola no Brasil, seguida do contexto hist?rico-cultural da Escola Municipal Marechal Castelo Branco, e por fim, entrela?amos as quest?es relacionadas com o trabalho, educa??o e ensino agr?cola no Assentamento Urumutum. O estudo constatou que as consequ?ncias oriundas desde o per?odo de coloniza??o da Amaz?nia, somadas a pol?tica de reforma agr?ria insipiente, a falta de pol?ticas p?blicas para a popula??o do campo, principalmente as educacionais, tornaram vis?veis ? necessidade de reflex?o / a??o atrav?s de novos olhares sobre o papel do estado frente ao desenvolvimento rural sustent?vel dessas popula??es. Sobretudo, h? a necessidade de estreitar as a??es educacionais entre as esferas de governo e a sociedade civil, em especial os movimentos sociais, no sentido de garantir a constru??o de projetos educacionais participativos, que contemplem os princ?pios da Educa??o do Campo como parte fundamental da concep??o de educa??o dos povos do campo.

Research project carried out in the Federal Institute of Par?, campus of Castanhal, whose objective is to evaluate IF the use of pedagogy of projects in organic farming of carrots, (Daucus carota, L), trying different doses organic composes e humus of earthworms into two areas show different characteristics which can contribute with meaningful learning?s. The participating group is part of the National Educational Program of Professional Integration with Basic Schooling for Young and Adult Education - PROEJA formed by remaining Quilombolas, which resulted into a research on the history of this social group. The conventional carrot farming with exaggerated use of agrotoxics, waited for an opportunity for organic farming, with the intent to produce technical information which supply the local needs of production and free consumption of toxic residues. In the beginning it was produced the compound used as fertilizer in the Project. Each activity carried out generated an individual report. The students named the project as ?Carrot farming in the soil of Par?? and, they were divided into two groups, each group took care of an area, involving all the stages of the farming. The minimum processing of the carrot was mentioned by everyone, in their reports, as the glorious moment of the Project. In the agricultural part it was possible to evaluate the farming in relation to the soil in its physical and chemical part; and in relation to the plant it was possible to evaluate the production; the extraction of nutrients; the most required nutrients; the dry matter of the aerial part (MSPA), of the root (MSR) and total (MST); always in comparison to Area I, where there was organic farming with the Area II, where there never have been planted with organic fertilizing. The results showed that the effect of organic matter in the soil, is not immediate. Plants absorbed the nutrients, but that's not reflected in increased production of roots. The experiment should be repeated for the suggestion of fertilization is better defined. The high export of nutrients by plant suggests that remain always the remains of culture in the production area. The use of the pedagogy of projects provided significant learning
O Projeto de pesquisa foi realizado no Instituto Federal do Par?, campus Castanhal, com o objetivo de avaliar se o uso da Pedagogia de Projetos em cultivo org?nico de cenoura, Daucus carota, L, experimentando-se dosagens diferenciadas de composto org?nico e h?mus de minhocas em duas ?reas que apresentam caracter?sticas diferenciadas pode contribuir na aprendizagem significativa. A turma participante faz parte do Programa da Educa??o Nacional de Integra??o Profissional com a Educa??o B?sica na Modalidade Educa??o de Jovens e Adultos - PROEJA formado por remanescentes Quilombolas, o que levou a uma pesquisa sobre a hist?ria desse grupo social. O cultivo convencional da cenoura com uso exagerado de agrot?xicos, ensejou seu cultivo org?nico, com o intuito de produzir informa??es t?cnicas que atendam ?s necessidades locais de produ??o e consumo livre de res?duos t?xicos. Inicialmente foi produzido a compostagem usada como adubo no projeto. Cada atividade realizada gerou um relato individual. Os alunos denominaram o projeto de ?Cultivo de Cenoura em Solos Paraenses? e, se dividiram em duas equipes, cada equipe cuidou de uma ?rea, envolvendo todas as etapas do cultivo. O processamento m?nimo da cenoura foi citado por todos, em seus relatos, como a apoteose do projeto. Na parte agr?cola foi poss?vel avaliar o cultivo em rela??o ao solo em sua parte f?sica e qu?mica; e em rela??o ? planta foi poss?vel avaliar a produ??o; a extra??o dos nutrientes; quais os nutrientes mais exigidos; a mat?ria seca da parte a?rea (MSPA), da raiz (MSR) e total (MST); sempre se comparando a ?rea I, onde j? havia cultivo org?nico com a ?rea II, onde nunca havia sido cultivado com aduba??o org?nica. Os resultados demonstraram que o efeito da mat?ria org?nica no solo, n?o ? imediato. As plantas absorveram bem os nutrientes, mas isso n?o se refletiu no aumento da produ??o de ra?zes. O experimento deve ser repetido para que a sugest?o de aduba??o seja melhor definida. A elevada exporta??o de nutrientes pela planta sugere que se mantenham sempre os restos de cultura na ?rea de produ??o. O uso da Pedagogia de projetos proporcionou aprendizagem significativa

This study evaluated the contributions of working with a project method applied in the teaching-learning process, aiming that the students of the agribusiness course of the Federal Institute in the North of Minas Gerais ? Campus Salinas might understand and fixed knowledge. Aiming to verify how interdisciplinarity contributes to the development of students? learning through their own construction of knowledge due to their inclusion in the research project for developing the product ?pasteurized cane juice?. To evaluate the learning of each student individually, we used the method of the attitude constructing a questionnaire composed of 25 statements regarding the theoretical and practical knowledge on the production of pasteurized sugarcane juice. The questionnaire was administered to students at four different times: the first time (TI), considered as time zero, where the group of students responded to questionnaires when the teacher had not offered any information about the project and its related disciplines, the second time (TII), the students answered after watching an interdisciplinary exhibition project, the third time (TIII), responded after the production of juice, and the fourth and final time (TIV), where the group responded to questionnaires after the completion of analysis. Through this assessment it was revealed that the development of students? learning was significant and growing. They were also evaluated in relation to commitment to the proposed activities through: image registration, self-assessment of learning, development flowchart, and practice in the production of the juice and their laboratory tests. This other form of assessment showed differently the growth of these students during the research. They proved to be encouraged to work with the project because they could participate in activities that were not included in their daily profession. Through self-assessments, they show the desire to have an education focused on issues related to their reality, based on a curriculum in the various areas of knowledge can act in an integrated manner. And by working with flowchart, we could clearly see the development in relation to the production process of the cane juice. The work was very important in guiding the teacher to work other teaching methods both in the classroom, field or laboratory to stimulate the interest of the student of a pedagogical discipline. Students learn better and showed more satisfaction when they felt part of the learning process and not just passively receiving knowledge.
Esta pesquisa avaliou as contribui??es de se trabalhar com m?todo de projeto aplicado no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, almejando que os estudantes do Curso T?cnico em Agroind?stria do Instituto Federal do Norte de Minas Gerais ? Campus Salinas, compreendessem e solidificassem o conhecimento. Tendo como objetivo verificar como a interdisciplinaridade contribui para o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem dos discentes atrav?s da pr?pria constru??o do conhecimento devido ? sua inser??o no projeto de pesquisa para o desenvolvimento do produto ?suco de cana pasteurizado?. Para avaliar a aprendizagem desses alunos, utilizou-se o m?todo de atitude do indiv?duo construindo-se um question?rio composto de 25 afirmativas referentes aos conhecimentos te?ricos e pr?ticos relativos ? produ??o de suco de cana pasteurizado. O question?rio foi aplicado aos alunos em quatro momentos diferentes: o primeiro tempo (TI), considerado como tempo zero, onde o grupo de alunos respondeu aos question?rios quando o professor ainda n?o havia ofertado nenhuma informa??o sobre o projeto e suas disciplinas correlatas; o segundo tempo (TII), os alunos responderam ap?s assistirem a uma exposi??o interdisciplinar do projeto; o terceiro tempo (TIII), responderam ap?s a produ??o do suco; e o quarto e ?ltimo tempo (TIV), onde o grupo respondeu aos question?rios ap?s a conclus?o das an?lises. Atrav?s dessa avalia??o foi poss?vel perceber que o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem dos discentes foi crescente e significativo. Eles tamb?m foram avaliados em rela??o ao comprometimento com as atividades propostas atrav?s de: registro de imagens; auto-avalia??o da aprendizagem; desenvolvimento de fluxograma; e a pr?tica na produ??o do produto suco e suas an?lises laboratoriais. O registro de imagens foi outra forma de avalia??o que mostrou de uma maneira diferente o crescimento desses alunos durante a pesquisa. Eles mostraram-se estimulados ao trabalhar com projeto, pois puderam participar de atividades que n?o estavam inseridas em seu cotidiano escolar. Atrav?s das autoavalia??es, eles mostram a vontade de ter um ensino voltado para as quest?es relacionadas ? realidade deles, baseado em um curr?culo em que as diversas ?reas do conhecimento possam atuar de forma integrada. E atrav?s do trabalho com fluxograma, p?de-se perceber claramente o desenvolvimento com rela??o ao processo produtivo do suco de cana. O trabalho mostrou-se muito importante no sentido de orientar o professor a trabalhar outros m?todos de ensino tanto em sala de aula, campo ou laborat?rio para estimular o interesse do discente pela proposta pedag?gica de uma disciplina. Os estudantes aprenderam melhor e demonstraram maior satisfa??o quando se sentiram fazendo parte do processo de aprendizagem e n?o apenas recebendo os conhecimentos passivamente.

Five years ago, Coca-Cola Brasil launched a program named 'Coletivo Project', with the purpose to enjoy an opportunity of increase on the potential consumption power of the low-income pyramid population that lived on the 'favelas'. At the same time, it had the objective to offer to them a social and financial impact, which is a trust on the future, the first job for the young adults’ participant of this program and an increase on their family source of revenues, through salaries. This was possible because through Coletivo Project, Coca-Cola identified the assets they have through its value chain, focusing on its competencies, such as retail, merchandising and logistics to apply them on courses to teach the young people of the communities and, as a result, form them to be able to find their new jobs. Internal indicators followed in a monthly basis by Coca-Cola demonstrated that the communities that had the presence of Coletivos, in comparison to those without Coletivos, had social and financial impacts. The social was the fact that the young formed started to have more confidence on their future and felt with a higher self-stem to apply for and obtain their first job. On the financial aspect, they were benefit through the increasing of their revenues and also their families and Coca-Cola had an increase on sales, when compared to a community without a Coletivo Project installed. This dissertation seeks to identify the current relationship between Coca-Cola and the communities, through the Coletivo Project classes performed on the NGOs located at this places, in order to identify opportunities for improvement the benefits and the impacts (financial and social) on the NGOs, communities and all stakeholders of this project. This dissertation examines this relationship, through presence interviews performed on four NGOs selected, and located on four of the twenty communities, that are participants of the Coletivo Project on Rio de Janeiro city. These interviews performed with the students, representatives and educators of these NGOs. The covered period of the interviews ranges from April 2014 to August 2014. This dissertation draws on first-hand qualitative empirical evidence gathered through extensive fieldwork. The main findings among possibilities for improvement by Coca-Cola are: • Implement new courses, beyond those existent at Coca-Cola (Retail, Logistics, etc.). • Increase the content of the employment module of Coletivo classes, focusing on improving educational, cultural, economic, political, social and professional life. • Increase the scale, through the quantity of positions on the Retail Coletivo classes. • Develop cultural and sports events with the communities. • Support the points of sales, participant of the practical classes of the Coletivo Retail, with refrigerators and furniture with the Coca-Cola logo. • Provide coffee breaks and meals during the Coletivo classes, using Coca-Cola beverages and partners for food items, developing the nutrition platform of the company and filling a need of the students. • Perform a research with all stakeholders related to this Project, including those students and mothers that are not participant of the Coletivo, in order to listen to them, understand their needs, and offer solutions to fulfill these gaps. and on the side of the • Perform partnerships with educational institutions to make viable other type of courses, more technical, but that have a relation with the core business of Coca-Cola Brasil, such as marketing. • Implement the Coca-Cola University, already existed at the Company. • Create courses or activities focused on the children. Regarding the impossibilities, the findings are: • Improve the basic sanitation of the communities. • Improve the safety on the communities. • Provide a home to those do not have. • Implement courses that have no relationship with Coca-Cola business and expertise, such as gastronomy. However, Coca-Cola can influence stakeholders on that. The results suggest to executives of Coca-Cola that a deep and a qualitative research on the communities of Brazil, in order to listen young people, educators, mothers, partners that offer jobs, from Coletivo and out of the project, is mandatory, to understand their needs, dreams, complains and offer valuable solutions to all.

The purpose of the study is to develop a project health check model to evaluate
the status of projects within the coal mining industry. The model will be based on
the Buttrick (2000) project health check model as described in his book “The
Interactive Project Workout”.
The model assesses the current “health” or status of a project. It looks at the full
project environment and uses a set of question results in an assessment of the
overall risk associated with the project. The model evaluates seven key project
success factors which include:
1. Project Plan 5. Expertise
2. Resources 6. Clear Specification
3. Ownership 7. Top Level Support
4. Justifiable Case
The model fulfils two roles:
• As a checklist, and
• As a tool to indicate where a project manager’s efforts should be directed.
This study will give an overview of the coal mining industry and the way projects
are being evaluated and prioritised. The Buttrick (2000) project health check
model will be assessed and adapted to evaluate projects within the coal mining
industry. The “new / adapted” model will be applied to the Douglas / Middelburg
Optimisation (DMO) to evaluate the health status of the project which is currently
at the end of definition (feasibility) stage within BHP Billiton Energy Coal South
Africa.
The results obtained from the new health check model showed that the DMO
project was in a healthy state with a project health check score of 47.33. It could

thus be concluded that the DMO project is ready to move in to the execution
phase of the BHP Billiton capital investment process.
The results obtained from the project team member participants were split into
management perception and team members’ perception. The overall health of
the DMO project between the two parties gave similar results with the team
members score of 43.76 being slightly lower than the management health score
of 45.42. The only major difference was observed on the “Communication”
project evaluation criteria where the management perspective on the
communication effectiveness was higher than that of the project team members.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the characteristics of natural resource mega-project planning processes. The implications of staple theory and selected characteristics of natural resource mega-projects are used to construct eleven characteristics of such planning processes. Staple theory suggests that optimistic expectations will be a fundamental characteristic of resource development planning in Canada, and that the state's role will be to facilitate, rather than evaluate, staple production. The size, complexity, visibility, and meaning of mega-projects may create momentum around them that weakens rational analysis and stampedes the planning process. Overall, the planning process may focus on narrow, technical issues concerned with constraints facing the mega-project. Alternatives may not be considered, overly optimistic expectations may not be checked, and risk and uncertainty may be inadequately addressed.
These proposed planning process characteristics are investigated in a case study of British Columbia's North East Coal Project (NECP). The institutional structure of the planning and implementing organizations are investigated, and the major planning issues are identified. The expectations generated within the planning process regarding the mega-project's contribution to regional economic growth and development, and its economic viability are reviewed, and then evaluated by comparing them to information available at the time from sources within the planning process and from sources outside the planning process, and to actual outcomes.
The case study findings support many of the eleven proposed characteristics of natural resource mega-project planning processes. The NECP's public planning process focused on identifying and overcoming constraints that would prevent the mega-project proceeding, and on minimizing the costs of the public sector's infrastructure responsibilities in the mega-project. The terms of reference for the various Sub-Committees requested analyses of constraints in most cases. The absence of a Regional Development Sub-Committee in the organization of the planning task force suggests that longer term planning issues were not perceived to be as important as the infrastructure issues. Sixty percent of the official public planning budget was allocated to transportation and townsite studies. The mandate, structure and operations of the government's implementing organization focused on controlling project costs. Finally, the benefit-cost analysis of the mega-project did not consider any alternatives to the NECP.
The expectations regarding the NECP's contribution to regional economic growth and development were overly optimistic given the information available at the time, and far exceed the actual outcomes to date. The NECP stabilized the South Peace region during the recession of the early 1980s, and produced some growth in employment, population, and income levels. Also, education levels increased and some entrepreneurial development occurred. However, the mega-project did not alleviate the unemployment situation in the region, did not improve the distribution of income, and it did not diversify the regional economic structure. Despite the early planning emphasis given to the opportunities that the NECP could provide to members of regional target groups such as Natives and women, few individuals from these groups obtained mining employment. In 1986, most of the direct economic benefits associated with the NECP, such as the new employment opportunities, high incomes, and training opportunities, had been captured by in-migrants to the region.
The expectations regarding the NECP's economic viability were also overly optimistic given information available at the time. The possibility of capital cost overruns were not considered despite ample indication that they were highly probable. Continuing high prices were assumed despite historical evidence that periods of high prices had been consistently followed by sustained periods of low prices, and expert advice that structural forces would contribute to a continual decline in the Japanese demand for metallurgical coal. The pre-project analysis projected that the NECP's net present value would be $464 million (1980$C), but the ex post analysis suggests that the NECP will generate $955 million (1980$C) in net economic losses for the Canadian economy.
The overly optimistic expectations regarding the NECP's economic viability were formed early in the planning process and were based on a period of enormous increases in metallurgical coal prices. As market conditions changed, the group within the planning task force responsible for the NECP's economic evaluation lowered their expectations, but their concerns were apparently insufficient to counter the momentum that had been established around the NECP. This momentum was reinforced by the meaning attached to the NECP, which was portrayed as a fundamental component of BC's economic development strategy.
Risk and uncertainty were inadequately addressed within the planning process and within the technical analyses of this mega-project's regional economic impacts and economic viability. No sensitivity analyses were completed in the analysis of the NECP's regional economic impacts. The sensitivity analyses in the pre-project benefit-cost analysis all considered positive adjustments to the base case scenario, save one. Problems of geological uncertainty, and the lack of experience of the project proponents in coal mining were ignored.
Mega-project planning processes must be carefully designed to counter the characteristics suggested by this research. At a minimum, a full public review of the mega-project should be conducted before the decision to proceed is taken. Consideration should be given to developing a formal, required mega-project planning process based on the two-tiered structure. The first tier would include a policy assessment addressing broad questions such as alternative regional development strategies. If the outcome of the first tier was a decision to proceed with a mega-project, the second tier would address mega-project planning and regulatory issues such as infrastructure options and impact management strategies.Applied Science, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
La Cobla Barcelona es va presentar el 30 de març de 1922 al Teatre Tívoli. En pocs anys, va assolir un important protagonisme en la vida cultural catalana: va actuar en espais emblemàtics com el Palau de la Música Catalana, el Gran Teatre del Liceu, el Palau de Belles Arts i el Palau Nacional de Catalunya; va estrenar obres de Juli Garreta, Ricard Lamote de Grignon, Enric Morera, Francesc Pujol, Josep i Joaquim Serra, Eduard Toldrà i Amadeu Vives; va oferir audicions a Béla Bartók, Manuel de Falla, Richard Strauss i Igor Stravinsky. També va participar en esdeveniments destacats, com el Concert-homenatge al President del Govern de la República, Manuel Azaña, o el XIV Festival de la Societat Internacional de Música Contemporània (SIMC). El 1932, el Govern de la Generalitat va distingir-la amb el títol «Cobla Oficial de la Generalitat de Catalunya». Durant la Guerra Civil, va fer dues gires per Europa organitzades pel Comissariat de Propaganda de la Generalitat de Catalunya i va actuar, a més de la inauguració del Pavelló d’Espanya de l’Exposició Internacional de París, en diverses sales de renom: Sala Gaveau, Sala Pleyel, Grand Palais des Champs-Elyssées i Palau de la Mutualité. El 1938, va emmudir. La seva trajectòria, però, va continuar del 1945 al 1977, una etapa que no s’estudia en aquesta tesi.
Aquest estudi parteix de la hipòtesi que la Cobla Barcelona es va fundar per consolidar una visió de l’agrupació musical entesa en tant que formació orquestral, propera als repertoris simfònics i cambrístics, especialitzada en concerts, que donava resposta a una necessitat cultural i social característica del primer terç del segle XX. Un primer objectiu ha estat situar la formació en el marc musical de Barcelona i de Catalunya i en el seu entorn més immediat, per establir els lligams amb entitats culturals i administracions públiques, amb agrupacions i institucions musicals, amb els mitjans de comunicació, amb els compositors i directors, amb el públic, i exposar així la lògica de la seva fundació. Un altre objectiu ha estat demostrar que la formació va contribuir a la difusió i a la creació d’un repertori de concert escrit per a cobla.
La recerca endegada amb aquesta finalitat ha permès atendre altres qüestions, com ara el paper que va jugar la Cobla Barcelona en el procés d’institucionalització de la cultura, la utilització que se’n va fer com a instrument de propaganda durant la Guerra Civil, i el perfil humà i professional dels músics que en van formar part. També ha permès aclarir els vincles de la formació amb algunes de les principals autoritats musicals que van visitar Barcelona durant la dècada de 1920, així com el paper que van tenir els certàmens de composició en la creació d’un nou model estètic de repertori durant el primer terç del segle XX, atès que els concursos van ser veritables catalitzadors de la reformulació de l’escriptura musical per a cobla.La Cobla Barcelona se presentó el 30 de marzo de 1922 en el Teatro Tívoli. En pocos años, logró un importante protagonismo en la vida cultural catalana: actuó en espacios emblemáticos como el Palau de la Música Catalana, el Gran Teatre del Liceo, el Palau de Belles Arts y el Palau Nacional de Catalunya; estrenó obras de Juli Garreta, Ricard Lamote de Grignon, Enric Morera, Francesc Pujol, Josep y Joaquim Serra, Eduard Toldrà y Amadeu Vives; ofreció audiciones a Béla Bartók, Manuel de Falla, Richard Strauss e Ígor Stravinski. También participó en eventos destacados, como el Concierto-homenaje al Presidente del Gobierno de la República, Manuel Azaña, o el XIV Festival de la Sociedad Internacional de Música Contemporánea (SIMC). En 1932, el Gobierno de la Generalitat distinguió con el título «Cobla Oficial de la Generalitat de Catalunya». Durante la Guerra Civil, hizo dos giras por Europa organizadas por el Comisariado de Propaganda de la Generalitat de Catalunya y actuó, además de la inauguración del Pabellón de España de la Exposición Internacional de París, en varias salas de renombre: Sala Gaveau, Sala Pleyel, Grand Palais des Champs-Elyssées y Palais de la Mutualité. En 1938, enmudeció. Su trayectoria, sin embargo, continuó del 1945 al 1977, una etapa que no se estudia en esta tesis. Este estudio parte de la hipótesis de que la Cobla Barcelona se fundó para consolidar una visión de la agrupación musical entendida como formación orquestal, cercana a los repertorios sinfónicos y de la música de cámara, especializada en conciertos, que daba respuesta a una necesidad cultural y social característica del primer tercio del siglo XX. Un primer objetivo ha sido situar la formación en el marco musical de Barcelona y de Catalunya y en su entorno más inmediato, para establecer los vínculos con entidades culturales y administraciones públicas, con agrupaciones e instituciones musicales, con los medios de comunicación, con los compositores y directores, con el público, y exponer así la lógica de su fundación. Otro objetivo ha sido demostrar que la formación contribuyó a la difusión y la creación de un repertorio de concierto escrito para cobla. La investigación iniciada con este fin ha permitido atender otras cuestiones, como el papel que jugó la Cobla Barcelona en el proceso de institucionalización de la cultura, la utilización que se hizo como instrumento de propaganda durante la Guerra Civil, y el perfil humano y profesional de los músicos que formaron parte. También ha permitido aclarar los vínculos de la formación con algunas de las principales autoridades musicales que visitaron Barcelona durante la década de 1920, así como el papel que tuvieron los certámenes de composición en la creación de un nuevo modelo estético de repertorio durante el primer tercio del siglo XX, dado que los concursos fueron verdaderos catalizadores de la reformulación de la escritura musical para cobla.
Cobla Barcelona was presented on the 30th March 1922 at the Teatre Tívoli, in Barcelona. In just a few years it acquired an important role in Catalan cultural life: it performed in emblematic spaces such as the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the Palau de Belles Arts and the Palau Nacional de Catalunya; premiered works by Juli Garreta, Ricard Lamote de Grignon, Enric Morera, Francesc Pujol, Josep and Joaquim Serra, Eduard Toldrà and Amadeu Vives; and offered auditions to Béla Bartók, Manuel de Falla, Richard Strauss and Igor Stravinsky. It also took part in outstanding events, such as the Concert-homage to the President of the Government of the Republic, Manuel Azaña, or in the XIV Festival of the International Society of Contemporary Music (SIMC). In 1932, the Government of the Generalitat awarded it the title «Official Cobla of the Generalitat de Catalunya». During the Civil War, it made two tours around Europe organized by the Commissariat of Propaganda of the Generalitat de Catalunya and acted, in addition to the inauguration of the Spanish Pavilion at the International Exhibition in Paris, in several renowned halls such as Salle Gaveau, Salle Pleyel, Grand Palais des Champs-Elyssées and Palais de la Mutualité. In 1938, it fell silent. Its path, however, continued from 1945 to 1977, a period that is not studied in this thesis. This dissertation is based on the hypothesis that Cobla Barcelona was founded to consolidate a vision of the musical ensemble, understood as an orchestral formation, close to the symphonic and chamber repertoires, specialized in concerts, which responded to a characteristic cultural and social need of the first third of the twentieth century. A first aim has been to place the music ensemble in the musical framework of Barcelona and Catalonia and in its immediate environment in order to establish links with cultural entities and public administrations, musical groups and institutions, the media, the composers and conductors, as well as with the public. Thus, the logic of its foundation was expounded. Another goal has been to show that the formation contributed to the dissemination and creation of a concert repertoire written for cobla. The research launched for this purpose has addressed other issues, such as the role played by the Cobla Barcelona in the process of institutionalization of the culture, its use as a propaganda tool during the Civil War, and the human and professional profile of the musicians who were part of it. It has also clarified the links of the formation with some of the main musical authorities who visited Barcelona during the 1920s, as well as the role played by composition competitions in the creation of a new aesthetic model of repertoire during the first third of the twentieth century, since the contests were true catalysts for the reformulation of musical writing for cobla.

This dissertation examines the distinctive and critical role that space exploration played in American foreign relations and national image making in the 1960s. Proposed by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, Project Apollo was established, in large part, as a means of demonstrating American power and promoting technocratic values in an international landscape defined by the Cold War, the collapse of colonialism, and the emergence of newly independent nations. While existing scholarship has gestured to this geopolitical context, it has tended to examine activity that takes place on American or lunar soil. This dissertation argues that the geopolitical context was not simply a backdrop but instead the main theater of Project Apollo. By embedding this familiar story back in its global context, this dissertation reinterprets the established narrative of Project Apollo in three significant ways. First, it places greater emphasis on the international stage and the relationship between the US and the world. Second, while the role of the Executive Branch remains essential to this story, this dissertation shifts the focus from engineers and managers, to key actors within the State Department and United States Information Agency, as well as foreign leaders and the world public. Finally, the role of Project Apollo in foreign relations, and public diplomacy in particular, becomes the defining feature of this investigation. By examining how US government elites promoted and disseminated information about space exploration to support American foreign relations interests, this dissertation offers a lens onto attempts to establish national power by fusing perceived values and strengths of science and technology- like rationality and progress- with the image of the nation's political system. These efforts, this dissertation demonstrates, were not only aimed at boosting American prestige, but were also strategic attempts to promote an idea of global unity and progress ushered in by American scientific and technological leadership.

Full textAbstract:
Japan's recent economic success or what has often been termed "the Japanese Miracle" has been a result of perceptive industrial policies and import and export strategies pursued by both government and industry together. Bilateral trade surpluses have brought about allegations from trading partners that Japan's trading practices are "unfair". While this study does not explicitly examine such a broad and subjective accusation, it does analyse distinct Japanese policies in the context of the steel industry and its overseas procurement of coking coal for steel production. The case of Japan's last major overseas coal venture, the Northeast Coal Project, is presented to provide answers to four questions which form the basic themes of the paper. How do the Japanese seek secure supplies of coking coal? Do the Japanese seek lower prices by encouraging excess supply? What conditions affecting coal demand have changed since January 1981 when the coal contracts were signed? Finally, will the Japanese abide by the terms of these contracts they signed in 1981? Through a focus on the process and substance of Japanese coal procurement policy, its application in the case of northeast coal, and its response to unexpectedly adverse market conditions, five propositions are developed. First, Japan persuades foreigners to commit themselves to the development and export of resources through quasi-integration. Second, the government and firms within the steel sector coordinate all procurement of coking coal. Third, Japan will pay a premium to ensure security of its coal supply. Fourth, structural shifts within the Japanese economy and changing world market conditions will cause a lower demand for coking coal than forecast; and finally, the Japanese will not break existing contracts if they perceive that that will undermine their access to resources and export markets.Arts, Faculty of

Based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of labovian sociolinguistics and the multidimensional geolinguistics, this research aims to investigate the variable realization of the post-vocalic lateral / l / in the position of syllabic coda in Bahia communities of the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil Project (ALiB Project). For this purpose, we analyze a corpus with 24 interviews with natural informants from the following locations, members of the ALiB Project network: Euclides da Cunha, Barra, Jacobina, Seabra, Santo Amaro and Santa Cruz Cabr?lia. According to the methodology of the ALiB Project, the informants are stratified by both sexes, with four informants in each city, divided into two age groups (range 1 ? 18 to 30 years old and range 2 ? 50 to 65 years old), graduated, at most, until High School. To carry out the research, the following hypotheses were raised: the / l / in the final position of the syllable is variable in the speech of the investigated communities, with the vocalized variant [w] already widely disseminated in the speech from Bahia cities, but not in a categorical way; the interaction between linguistic and social factors in the variation of / l / is the vector of this phenomenon; the variation of / l / points to a change in progress. The results point to a tendency to change, in which the erasing of the dependent variable has been abandoned by the younger informants in favor of the vocalized variant, so that the implementation of the vocalization presents different stages in each of the selected localities

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Ed.D.)--Boston UniversityThe dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War are widely recognized as watershed events in the history of world affairs. Decision-makers and scholars in many fields are only beginning to understand the profound shifts and realignments in global political and economic relationships in a post-Cold War world. An important link between the United States and the former Soviet republics is the foreign assistance program in the region, since assistance efforts often serve as an important lens through which to view strategic relationships between nations. This evaluative policy research explores that link through qualitative case studies of three US Agency for International Development (USAID) projects in the region. Each qualitative case study represents a distinct approach to foreign assistance delivery in the region: classical technical assistance (represented by ZdravReform in contracts with Abt Associates), formal site partnership (in cooperative agreements with the American International Health Alliance), and experimental technology (a cooperative agreement with the former Selentec, Inc.). Three policy context chapters (Chapters I, II, and III) introduce the case studies, in which historical trends of the assistance effort and of the domestic foreign policy-making framework in Washington, DC, are highlighted. A final chapter (VII) examines the findings from the study and recommends a refocusing of the foreign assistance effort in the NIS toward more long-term developmental strategies. Theoretical and methodological assumptions in the study are informed by the constructionist approach to policy evaluation described by Guba and Lincoln (1989). This broad approach assumes that different constructions or interpretations exist concerning the nature and goals of projects. Unlike typical project evaluations, this approach does not assume that stakeholders in projects share common perceptions of the expected goals for and outcomes of their projects. Constructionist approaches to qualitative study fall within the interpretative stream of social science explored by theorists and researchers from a number of disciplines (Geertz, 1973; Denzin, 1992; Hammersley, 1989; Bruner, 1990). More specific conceptual assumptions also are explored in Chapter I, drawn from the literature on institutional research . Emphasis is placed in the evaluative analysis on how effectively conflicts that arose among the multiple stakeholders in each project were addressed.

Full textAbstract:
Après plusieurs décennies de développement, l'interférométrie atomique est devenue un outil extrêmement performant pour mesurer des effets inertiels, tels que des accélérations et des rotations. De telles techniques sont maintenant envisagées pour une future génération de détecteurs d'ondes gravitationnelles afin de pousser les limites de l'état de l'art des détecteurs actuels. L'instrument MIGA (Matter-wave laser Interferometer Gravitation Antenna) couplera interférométrie atomique et optique pour étudier des perturbations du champ gravitationnel à basse fréquence (Hz et sub-Hz). Il consistera en un réseau de 3 interféromètres atomiques, simultanément interrogés par le champ électromagnétique résonnant au sein de deux cavités optiques de 150 m de long, en utilisant un ensemble d'impulsions de Bragg d'ordre π/2 - π - π/2. Des mesures gradiométriques permettront d'acquérir une forte immunité aux bruits sismique et newtonien, qui sont limitants pour les détecteurs terrestres optiques tels que LIGO et Virgo. Une expérience préliminaire est en développement au LP2N, à Talence (France), où un interféromètre est interrogé par deux cavités de 80 cm de long. Pour avoir une taille de faisceau suffisante afin d'interroger efficacement les atomes de 87Rb dans des cavités de cette longueur, nous utilisons une géométrie de cavité marginalement stable, constituée de deux miroirs plans situés à la focale d'une lentille biconvexe, où un mode gaussien de rayon de plusieurs mm peut résonnerAfter few decades of development, atom interferometry has become an extremely efficient tool for measuring inertial effects such as accelerations and rotations. Such techniques are now envisioned for a future generation of gravitational wave detectors to push further the limit of the current optical detectors. The Matter-Wave Laser Interferometer Gravitation Antenna (MIGA) instrument will couple atom and optical interferometry to study perturbations of the gravitational field at low-frequencies (Hz and sub-Hz). It will consist of an array of 3 atom interferometers, simultaneously interrogated by the light field resonating inside two 150 m long optical cavities, using a set of high order Bragg pulses π/2 - π - π/2. Gradiometric measurements allows a strong immunity to seismic and newtonian noises which limit optical ground-based detectors such as LIGO and Virgo. A preliminary experiment is being developed at the LP2N laboratory, in Talence (France), where a single atomic cloud is interrogated inside two 80 cm long cavities. In order to interrogate efficiently the 87Rb atoms, a gaussian beam with a radius of several mm resonating inside these cavities is required. This can be achieved by using a marginally stable cavity geometry, composed by two plane mirrors located in the focal planes of a biconvex lens

Full textAbstract:
The surface mining method of mountaintop removal has been shown to adversely affect the water quality and hydrologic characteristics of downstream regions. Based on recent scientific literature, the U.S. EPA issued guidance on the specific conductivity (EC25ºC) of waters discharged from mined lands in the Appalachian Coal Belt Region stating that these waters should have an EC25ºC less than 300-500 μS cm-1. Hence, accurately measuring EC25ºC levels of mine discharged waters has significant implications. Furthermore, the development of reclamation techniques that positively impact the hydrological and water quality aspects of valley fill (VF) discharge is needed. To tackle these questions, a two-part study was conducted. First, a detailed study comparing sensor performance under controlled and field conditions was performed. Second, the hydrologic parameters (storm flow only) of a stream restoration project constructed atop a retrofitted valley fill were compared to a headwater stream with no mining as well as one influenced by mining with no restoration. Results indicated that significant differences were noted between four conductivity sensors with errors positively correlated with increases in EC25ºC. For storm events, the restored stream section atop the VF is performing similar to the unminded, forested watershed for some hydrologic parameters.

Full textAbstract:
Effective dewatering and environmental program poised to have a significant impact on the feasibility of saprolite mining operations. It is therefore necessary to strike a balance between an effective dewatering program and sound environmental policy. Using assessments such as rainfall, climate studies, groundwater flow, and aquifer characterizations, the Separi coal dewatering program includes the construction of water channels, flood protection levees, water wells, and placing various environmental monitoring sites. The construction of water channels and flood protection levees has reduced the water runoff that entered the mining area by approximately 75%. For a six-month testing period, the average pumping rate of the dewatering well was 24.78 m³/day.
These pumping rates were determined to result in groundwater level that would generally be 10 meters below the lowest mining benches at all times. Ten meters is the recommended single bench height based on the slope stability analysis. After six months of dewatering, the groundwater level was lowered 10.88 meters, permitting the mining project may begin its mining operation to commence. A re-design of maximum pit slope angle is indicated in this research. During the testing period, the environmental management plan did not show any negative impacts of dewatering programs on surface and groundwater resources. The monitoring sites all yield acceptable range of water quality parameters, such as Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and pH value.

Purpose/aim The aim is to explore which price policy of the Chinese wind power is the most suitable for the market. Design/methodology/approach Data has been collected through questionnaires. The analysis includes the statistical test in form of chi-square. Additionally the whole thesis followed the onion process put forward by Saunders. Findings The analysis showed that the price policy which is based on the local price of coal is more suitable for the market than the price policy decided by concession projects. Originality/value An original idea is given the relationship between ages, education levels and two policies. Further, the empirical data is collected from a comprehensive online-forum, so that the samples are randomly selected. The data shows that the businesses which want to enter the Chinese wind power market should choose the price policy which is based on the local price of coal. This choice should be useful in the real life.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, a new software, THERA-Kinetics was developed for the evaluation of kinetic parameters using non-isothermal data. Different computational methods, available in the software, were applied to a set of experimental and simulated data distributed in the ICTAC (International Confederation for Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry) Kinetics Project. The reliability of the software was verified by comparing the kinetic results, which were in good agreement, with those obtained by the participants of the ICTAC Kinetics Project.
It was also within the scope of this study to examine the combustion characteristics and kinetics of three same origin coal samples. A series of thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were carried out in non-isothermal conditions at heating rates of 5, 10 and 15 K/min. Reaction regions, peak and burn-out temperatures, weight loss percentages and heat of reactions of the samples were determined for each heating rate from TG and DSC curves. A variety of computational methods, available in the software developed, were applied to experimental data for the evaluation of the kinetic parameters of the coal samples. It was observed that there was no general trend in the activation energy values from the point of heating rate.

Aborda-se os principais aspectos da fundamentação teórica relativos ao dimensionamento de elementos em aço, constituídos por perfis de chapa dobrada, baseados nas prescrições das normas Americana e Canadense. A fundamentação teórica destina-se a justificar os procedimentos referentes ao dimensionamento de perfis de aço conformados a frio, em particular os elementos comprimidos e fletidos, além dos aspectos da flambagem local destes perfis. Aborda-se também uma análise dos métodos de projeto das estruturas metálicas formadas por estes perfis, apresentando-se algumas disposições e alguns aspectos interessantes e essenciais no desenvolvimento de um edifício industrial leve. Tendo em vista a grande utilização dos perfis conformados a frios em terças, desenvolveu-se uma sistemática de cálculo fornecendo os valores dos momentos admissíveis que poderão ser aplicados para um pré-dimensionamento.An analysis of the theoretical basis for the design of cold-formed steel structural members, according to the American and Canadian Standards, is made. The theoretical background is used to justify the procedure to obtain the required geometry of the cold-formed steel structural members particularly the compression and flexural members, also to explain some aspects of the local buckling. Furthermore, an analysis of the design method of steel structures with these profiles is made. Some interesting and essential aspects are presented in what concerns to the development of a light industrial building. Having in mind the intensive use of cold-formed members in purlin structures, a procedure for systematic calculation was developed to determine the allowable bending moment values that can be used on a preliminary design.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse traite d’une politique de coopération au développement qui intègre le champ de la lutte contre la drogue. Il s’agit de la politique dite du développement alternatif instituée comme nouveau concept par les Nations Unies pour réduire l’offre de production de plantes données stupéfiantes servant à la fabrication des drogues, telle la feuille de coca ou le pavot à opium. Elle vise à expliquer les divergences de position des acteurs sur le développement alternatif et plus précisément la réaction différenciée des pays bénéficiaires depuis l’analyse de la controverse sur la feuille de coca et les conditions de production des projets. Ainsi, cette approche valorise l’analyse de l’enjeu des projets sur celle des effets. La thèse s’est construite sur la base d’une démarche inductive en comparant la mise en œuvre des projets au Pérou et en Bolivie depuis une approche du « projet au concret », pour saisir la variété des enjeux qui traversent la controverse. Cette thèse s’articule sur différentes approches pour saisir un objet multi niveau et multi -sectoriel où les enjeux de politique publique s’entremêlent (lutte contre la drogue, développement des Etats et politique de développement local). Ainsi au-delà des divisions des acteurs sur la stratégie de lutte contre la drogue, la thèse aura également pour objectif de questionner le rapport différencié des producteurs avec l’objet projet de coopération dans des zones où il est souvent la seule marque d’action publiqueThis thesis deals with a development cooperation policy that includes the battle against drugs. It is indeed the so-called Alternativ Development policy implemented as a new concept by the United Nations to reduce the production supply of some plants well known for their narcotic nature, such as the coca leaf or opium poppy. The thesis aims to explain the divergences of opinions on Alternativ development within the key players, and much precisely the various reactions of the target countries from the analysis of the controverse on coca leaf and by the conditions of production of the projects. Thus, this approach means to underline more the analysis of the issue than the effects of the projects. This thesis builds itself on an inductive reasoning that compares the implementation of projects in Peru and Bolivia, from a "projet au concret" point of view to understand the variety of stakes of this controverse. This thesis hinges on the different approaches to achieve a multi-level and multi-sectional goal where the policies stakes become intermingled ( fight on narcotratic drugs, development of the State and rural local development ). Beyond the divisions of the key players on the strategy to apply to fight against drugs, the thesis will also intend to compare the various reactions of the producers on the cooperation project in some local areas where little public policies are being led

Previous issue date: 2014-12-11This dissertation aims to investigate the Myth of Development and its role in shaping contemporary urban planning, focusing on the Cidade da Copa project, to be implemented in São Lourenço da Mata, a municipality in the metropolitan region of Recife, in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. This paper examines the planning of Cidade da Copa and its function in the broader project of developing Pernambuco as a whole. The territory covered is formed by the cities of São Lourenço da Mata and Camaragibe, but their interactions with the capital, Recife, are also observed. The methodology adopted in this study has included: bibliographical and field researches, with visits to the cities for the accurate understanding of the subject; interviews with institutions directly and indirectly related with designing Cidade da Copa ; and consultations with the company responsible for planning the urban complex. The interviews and consultations aimed to gather qualitative data for a better comprehension of the impact of political, urban, social and economic phenomena in those cities. The topics here discussed include urban segregation, entrepreneurial governance of cities and models of partnerships between private and public stakeholders. Questions raised and debated in this analysis cover: the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil and its influence on the erection of Cidade da Copa in São Lourenço da Mata; the preparation of municipal and state administrations for the urban growth fostered by that event; the role of private businesses responsible for Cidade da Copa in the planning and execution of the project; the levels of socio-economic and urban impact caused by Cidade da Copa to the surrounding communities and to the two municipalities as a whole; the urban nature of the future Cidade da Copa ; and, finally, the limitations of the urban complex and its possibilities in contributing to the development of the area where it will be implemented
Esta dissertação se propõe a investigar o Mito do Desenvolvimento e sua representação na configuração da produção urbana contemporânea, em especial no projeto Cidade da Copa, a ser implantado em São Lourenço da Mata, município integrante da Região Metropolitana do Recife, em Pernambuco. O planejamento dessa Cidade e seu significado no projeto de desenvolvimento do Estado é o objeto da presente pesquisa. O recorte territorial é formado pelos municípios de São Lourenço da Mata e de Camaragibe, sem deixar de lado suas relações com a capital Recife. Para formulação das análises apresentadas foram realizadas: pesquisa bibliográfica e de campo, com visitas aos municípios para apropriação do tema; entrevistas com os agentes institucionais direta e indiretamente relacionados com a concepção da Cidade; e consultas à empresa responsável pela idealização do complexo urbanístico. As entrevistas e consultas tiveram o propósito de obtenção de dados qualitativos para compreensão de como os fenômenos políticos, urbanos, sociais e econômicos atuam naqueles municípios. Temas como segregação urbana, empresariamento da produção de cidades e modelos de parcerias entre empresas e agentes públicos são discutidos. Para a pesquisa, foram elaborados questionamentos que abrangem: a Copa do Mundo de futebol no Brasil em 2014 e seu rebatimento na construção da Cidade da Copa em São Lourenço da Mata; a preparação das gestões municipais e estadual para o crescimento urbano fomentado a partir daquele evento; os agentes produtores da Cidade e seus papéis no planejamento e execução do empreendimento; os níveis de impactos socioeconômicos e urbanos que ela proporciona às populações vizinhas e aos municípios como um todo; a natureza urbanística da futura Cidade; e, por fim, uma discussão sobre os limites e as possibilidades do empreendimento contribuir para o processo de desenvolvimento da porção territorial na qual será implantado

A promoção da imagem das cidades como estratégia de desenvolvimento urbano, incluindo a realização de megaeventos e de grandes projetos, vem assumindo papel central na política atual. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar como tem ocorrido este processo em Porto Alegre, cidade que se tornou conhecida, mundialmente, pela experiência bem-sucedida do Orçamento Participativo, na década de 1990, e por ter sediado, em 2001, 2002, 2003 e 2005, um megaevento antiglobalização, o Fórum Social Mundial. De maneira mais específica, o trabalho discute aspectos referentes às atividades dos setores da construção civil e imobiliário em Porto Alegre, vinculados à futura Copa do Mundo de Futebol de 2014, assumindo que essas iniciativas encontram seu fundamento no Plano Diretor do município, aprovado em 1999, na conjuntura de reorientação da política urbana, então conduzida pelo Partido dos Trabalhadores. Para tanto, o estudo busca identificar os principais vínculos explicativos dessa trajetória, passando pela análise não só dos principais Grandes Projetos Urbanos que vem sendo realizados no contexto do referido megaevento, como também das estratégias de desenvolvimento urbano e de seus promotores. Verifica-se que estas iniciativas não se diferenciam das tendências predominantes do urbanismo contemporâneo, fundamentado na atuação projetual sobre a cidade.Promoting the image of cities as urban development strategy, including the realization of megaevents and large projects, has assumed a central role in current policy. This work aims to analyze how this process has taken place in Porto Alegre, a city that has become known worldwide through successful experience of Participatory Budgeting in the 1990s, and for hosting in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005 a mega-globalization, the World Social Forum. More specifically, the paper discusses aspects related to the activities of civil construction and real estate in Porto Alegre, linked to future World Cup Football 2014, assuming that these initiatives find their basis in the Master Plan of the municipality, approved in 1999 in the context of the reorientation of urban policy, then led by the Workers' Party.Therefore, the study aims to identify the main explanatory linkages of this trajectory, not only through the analysis of the main Great Urban Projects that have been undertaken in the context of this mega event, as well as the urban development strategies and their promoters. It appears that these initiatives are no different from prevailing trends of contemporary urbanism, based on projective action of the city.

To perform the World Cup 2014, Brazil seeks economic and financial feasibility of investments in projects. However, this whole organization to the world depends on the efficiency and effectiveness in the management of projects of the host cities; projects that are planned and executed by the three tiers of government (Federal, State and Municipal). In this context, this study aims to identify the structure of the Planning, Execution and Control of projects from the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, Cuiabá, capital of Mato Grosso. So, we defined the theoretical framework based on the concepts of renowned authors who talk about relevant aspects: Planning, Implementation and Control, especially in the public sector for the management of projects. Regarding methodology, we chose to study with a qualitative approach exploratory and descriptive, using a case study on the design of Arena Pantanal held at Secretária Extraordinária da Copa (SECOPA) in Cuiabá-MT, where we performed the data collection, document analysis and interviews. To make the analysis of results, we used additional data obtained from a secondary site and available in the SECOPA. Through them, we conclude that the World Cup 2014 tends to project the host city of Cuiabá-MT, where the design of the master plan of the project was based in order to meet the budget Laws prioritizing the needs of society and involving large investments in infrastructure, such as the construction of Arena Pantanal Multiuso. Therefore, the SECOPA has been working with the challenges, risks and constraints (expropriations, fundraising, lawsuits etc..). Remarkable, also, the many opportunities (increase in employment generation, income, consumption, projecting the city as a tourist attraction, urban mobility), besides adding other direct and indirect benefits, expressive and positively affecting the socioeconomic development of Cuiabá- MT
Para a realização da Copa do Mundo de 2014 o Brasil busca a viabilidade econômica e financeira dos investimentos nos projetos. Contudo, toda essa organização para o mundial depende da eficiência e eficácia na gestão dos projetos das cidades-sede; projetos que são planejados e executados pelas três esferas governamentais (Federal, Estadual e Municipal). Neste contexto, este estudo objetiva identificar a estrutura do Planejamento, Execução e Controle dos projetos da Copa do Mundo de 2014 no Brasil, em Cuiabá capital do Estado do Mato Grosso. Para tanto, foi definido o referencial teórico com base nos conceitos de autores renomados que discorrem sobre os aspectos relevantes do Planejamento, Execução e Controle, especialmente no setor público, para o gerenciamento dos projetos. Com relação à metodologia foi feita opção pela pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa do tipo exploratório-descritiva, por meio de um estudo de caso sobre o projeto da Arena Pantanal , realizado na Secretária Extraordinária da Copa (SECOPA) sediada em Cuiabá-MT, local onde foi efetuada a coleta dos dados, a análise documental, bem como, as entrevistas. Para compor a análise dos resultados foram utilizados dados complementares obtidos de forma secundária e disponíveis no site da SECOPA. Pelos resultados obtidos é possível concluir que a Copa de 2014 tende a projetar, de forma significativa e positiva, a cidade-sede de Cuiabá-MT, considerando que o planejamento do plano diretor dos projetos foi embasado com o intuito de atender as Leis orçamentárias, priorizando as necessidades da sociedade e envolvendo investimentos elevados na infraestrutura, como a construção da Arena Pantanal Multiuso. Para tanto, a SECOPA vem trabalhando com os desafios, riscos e condicionantes (desapropriações, captação de recursos, ações na justiça, etc.). Destacam-se, igualmente, as inúmeras oportunidades (aumento na geração de emprego, renda, consumo, projeção da cidade como ponto turístico, mobilidade urbana), além de agregar outros benefícios diretos e indiretos, afetando expressiva e positivamente o desenvolvimento socioeconômico de Cuiabá-MT

Full textAbstract:
The de-industrialisation process that was a common feature of North America and Western Europe in the 1970s, through into the 1980s has become an observable feature in African countries and South Africa in particular in the last two decades. Globally, hard hit areas include those associated with the early Industrial Revolution characterised by mass production and the agglomeration of iron and steel, coal and textile industries. General changes in the global market, especially the falling demand for extractive heavy minerals like coal and gold have also affected many countries region and localities. In the case of South Mrica, the previous high economic dependence on mined minerals like coal and gold has resulted in many once prosperous mining regions of the country being reduced to a shadow of their former selves. The worst affected areas in South Africa are those of the Klerksdorp Goldfields in the North West Province and Free State Goldfields, with the latter alone losing 100,000 jobs during the 1990s. This trend has also been acute in the coal-mining industry of the KwaZulu-Natal province since the late 1970s. The firms that had grown in the shadow of the major mining company supplyipg machinery, or who processed the semi-manufactured product are also severely affected by the closing down and restructuring in the mining and iron industries. These industries have often been forced to close down because of a break in the vital connections they developed with these mining industries. Such localised economic crisis has encouraged the universal trend towards the devolution of developmental responsibilities to the local governments and other local stakeholders to - empower them to respond to these changes. This study investigated the local economic initiatives which have been undertaken in the three municipalities of north-western KwaZulu Natal i.e. Utrecht, Dundee and Dannhauser to respond to the closures which have taken place in the mining industry of this region, which used to be among the most prosperous coal mining regions of South Africa. Using their new developmental mandate the local governments, in partnership with the communities and other external interveners have tried to respond to these localised economic crisis and also indirectly to the general poverty and underdevelopment, which characterises this region of KwaZulu-Natal. The effects of apartheid policies, and previous discriminatory rural development policies in, particular, and the Regional Industrial Development policy, which was intensively applied in the 1980s by the pre-1994 government regime, have further compounded the magnitude of the challenge. The lack of capacity in some municipalities has constrained successful implementation of Local Economic Development has led to some communities acting alone to face their situation with or without external intervention.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate how stakeholder participation should be implemented to improve societal acceptance for mega projects. Thereby societal acceptance is seen as a major contributor to project success in this context and involving society in decision-making and two-way dialogue is recognized as the most effective to achieve this. Based on this research area, a theoretical framework was proposed for the mega project context including prerequisite, process and outcome criteria for stakeholder participation. In this sense, a critical realist ontology stance was assumed to develop the knowledge base and the research was carried out with a qualitative, deductive approach. The case of the coal-power plant “Datteln 4” project and its stakeholder participation forum were used as a unit of analysis for evaluating the proposed framework. From the case, data was collected from interviews with participants as well as forum documents and then analyzed using the template analysis. Based on this evidence, the proposed theoretical framework was adapted to a new case-based framework. The research had three objectives at the outset which were fulfilled in the discussion of the data findings. For the first of these, it was shown that the general link of stakeholder participation and societal acceptance is applicable to the mega project context. A second major finding was that the theoretical framework proposed in literature is relevant, however only to a certain extent. Contextual challenges pertaining to mega projects such as the nature of conflict, long duration and stakeholder positions, however, require more attention to these criteria. Lastly, the necessary further developments for the new case-based framework were discussed including that for mega projects underlying issues of transparency, expectations, power and atmosphere must constantly be considered in stakeholder participation. In conclusion, a stakeholder participation framework is presented that matches the context of mega projects and their need for societal acceptance. Therefore this thesis developed the theoretical knowledge on this underexplored area of project management, and for practitioners it offers criteria to consider during stakeholder participation in mega projects.

The main purpose of this study is to find reasonable evaluation of the coal investing joint venture under the project name MPL of a Taiwanese Company A and an Australian Company B. Comparisons between the original evaluation used by Company A and the alternative evaluation proposed by this paper on the project will be further elaborated. The Payback method that had been applied by Company A estimated a payback period of 12.25 years and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 7.72%. Such method neglected the time value of currency. By applying the Net Present Value (NPV) and Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) proposed by this paper, such time value can be taken into account. We receive a NPV of 93.1 million in AUD dollars and payback period of 16.5 years for the Project MPL.The payback period is 4.25 years longer than the Company A had calculated. Another focus of this paper is to calculate the value of the additional dig out right that could be carried out when the original one was due. Such value evaluated by the binominal real option method received a NPV of 40.8 million in AUD dollars. Hence, if the dig out right was exercised, the total value of Project MPL would reach a 133.9 million in AUD dollars and an internal rate of return of 8.52%, which would be 0.8% higher than Company A had estimated. Accordingly, we can make the correct decision for the project by mean of the analysis. We also use the sensitive analysis to clarify the relation between the value of Project MPL with the volatility of change in coal price and the risk-free rate. Positive relations exist for both the volatility of change in coal price and the risk-free rate with the real option value of the additional dig out right. Despite the thorough evaluation this study had proposed, future on proposals can still make reasonable assumptions on the exactness of influential variables to enhance the exactness, reference and appliance of their studies.

With its burgeoning energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), China is central to addressing the problem of climate change. As the world leader in GHG emissions for years, China is under tremendous international pressure in the fight against climate change.
Focusing on China's coal-to-chemicals industriesa major user of coal and significant contributor to GHG and other emissions in Chinathis thesis seeks to explain how national policies have affected the deployment of coal gasification in China. The data and information for this thesis were mainly collected from interviews with experts from Chinese and U.S. companies, relevant government reports, and other Internet sources. First, I present the current state of energy consumption and the development status of related industries that are applying gasification technologies in China. I then present related policies and pilot projects for the development of gasification technology and analyze how these affect the Chinese gasification market. I analyze factors that have promoted a change in the mode of partnership between foreign firms and Chinese firms (from licensing contracts to joint ventures), and how joint ventures are enabling gasification technology transfer currently. Finally, I argue how the underlying conditions create drivers that promote gasification technology transfer despite China’s weak IP regime.text

Therefore, the selection of the joint venture partner for "state-owned enterprise overseas joint venture strategy" is very vital for the future development of our country’s state-owned enterprises overseas joint ventures, which is worth discussing. The purposes of this paper are as following three: 1. Discuss the relation between the selection of overseas joint venture partner for Taipower company and the joint venture performance. 2. Analyze the influencing factors of the selection of overseas joint venture partner for Taipower company. 3. Try to seek an improvement plan, providing decision reference for the government and Taipower company on energy and mineral resources overseas joint venture in the future. Based on the Taipower company coal overseas joint venture process, this research explores consideration factors of overseas joint venture partner selection; it applies the in-depth interview method, content analysis and questionnaire investigation to exploratory research. It is expected to visit 3 staff who has engaged in or is engaged in coal joint venture overseas in Taipower company for more than 25 years; the scholars are selected from those who have in-depth study on state-owned enterprises; Government officials are chosen from the ministry of economic affairs as the interviewees. With in-depth interviews, the paper studies the status and difficulties of state-owned enterprises overseas joint venture partner selection. through inductive study, the paper finds the following main conclusions: 1. State-owned enterprises organization structure tends to be bureaucratic system, and the investment atmosphere is conservative, which is harder to find appropriate overseas joint venture partners; The state-owned enterprises have international reputation and organizational credit image, which is easier to find a suitable joint venture partner overseas for joint venture. 2. state-owned enterprises organizational structure tending bureaucratic system and conservative investment atmosphere will weaken the influence of state-owned enterprises overseas joint venture partner selection on joint venture performance; and state-owned enterprises with international reputation and organizational credit image will strengthen to impact of the joint venture partner selection on joint venture performance, only weakening influence degree is greater than the strengthening one. 3. The more complete process of overseas joint venture partner selection and more stable partnerships are, the higher the expected extent of the joint venture and the achievement of joint goals (mastering some coal fountainhead) are; while there is no positive relation to the average pre-tax profit rate, average sales revenue rate. 4. The key elements of the state-owned enterprises overseas joint venture success not only include careful selection of joint venture partner before joint venture, but also include complementary resources, mutual capacitance goal, mutual trust attitude and continuous interaction after the joint venture, by which only the success probability of state-owned enterprise overseas joint venture can be promoted.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last 25 years Fording Coal Limited has completed a number of environmental projects at their Fording River Operations located in the southeast coal block approximately 30 km north of Elkford, BC. These projects involved major river diversions, and water quality control settling ponds, stream enhancement projects for cutthroat trout including the development of an entire side channel for fisheries mitigation, fish passage structures and wildlife habitat restoration. Some of these projects date back to the late 1970's and have been in operation for over 20 years. Many of these projects have been presented at previous Mine Reclamation Symposiums, starting with the first symposium in 1976.
Some of the questions that are often asked are: what will that river diversion or stream enhancement project look like 20 years from now? will the river and/or side channel still be natural and productive? Will the vegetation disturbed by construction return to its former abundance? And how did these projects survive the major June 1995 flood that did considerable damage in the Elk River Valley and tributary watersheds?
This paper and pictorial overview will compare the projects that exist now to those that were constructed and presented at the Mine Reclamation Symposium over 20 years ago. Projects and design concepts that have worked well will be discussed, and where improvements could be made, these will be highlighted. Many of the above questions will be answered.
