Abstract:
As plantas competem por recursos do meio situados abaixo e/ou acima da superfície do solo. A separação física da competição entre plantas possibilita conhecer a importância relativa de cada fração, bem como apontar possíveis diferenças em competitividade entre espécies. Objetivou-se neste trabalho separar os efeitos individuais decorrentes da competição por recursos do solo ou radiação solar, entre soja e plantas concorrentes. Foram realizados seis experimentos em vasos na UFRGS, em Porto Alegre-RS, sendo dois em 2001 e quatro em 2002. Os tratamentos testados resultaram das combinações de dois genótipos concorrentes (cultura e competidor) e quatro condições de competição (ausência de competição, competição por recursos do solo e radiação solar, competição por recursos do solo e competição por radiação solar). Os cultivares de soja IAS 5 e Fepagro RS 10 representaram a cultura, enquanto o nabo forrageiro e o cultivar de soja Fundacep 33 foram os competidores. Determinaram-se variáveis morfofisiológicas em plantas de soja e de nabo forrageiro. O crescimento das plantas de soja foi mais afetado pela competição por recursos do solo, sendo o cultivar RS 10 mais competitivo do que IAS 5. O nabo forrageiro não interferiu no crescimento dos cultivares de soja, porém cresceu mais na presença da cultura.

Abstract:
In this article I explore the way mobile music devices with touchscreen technology produce new somatechnical figurations that reshape emotional dynamics of music listening. Using research drawn from a cyberethnography of online users from Reddit.com, I argue that the changing relationships between the human-computer interface result in new affective schemas that expand and reconfigure how it feels to listen to music in a mobile setting. In particular, I focus on skin-on-screen contact in order to suggest that the screen acts as a reflexive surface producing intimate relations for the mobile listener. Touchscreens imply the relationship between skin on skin—the skin of our body (in particular the hands) against the skin of the screen. It follows that mobile touchscreen devices suggest a degree of sensuality—in the coming together of bodies, fluids and other organic materials which ‘stick’ to the touchscreen. Reading the mobile touchscreen player as a somatechnical figuration therefore suggests that the listening experience is developing along with the technologies that mediate music to the body in ways that continue to challenge our understanding of bodily borders and in ways that redefine what it means to feel the music. Therefore, the touchscreen-skin is a critical site of affective relations that dramatically reshape what it means to listening to music in a mobile setting; a private and intimate encounter between the user and their counterpart.

Abstract:
This paper addresses the prevalence of state violence directed at Aboriginal people. It examines how violence has been reproduced in recent years in the space of Western Australia through mutually-reinforcing relations of financial interest, and how the function of private capital accumulation – in state violence against sovereign Aboriginal people – has remained hidden in white sight. This paper argues that state violence is legitimised through a discourse of Aboriginal protection. After outlining how this discourse and violence have operated in Western Australia, the paper provides a substantive narrative challenging the routine reproduction of state violence against Aboriginal bodies through a close reading of public and media texts. These texts relate to state violence against a blockade preventing land-clearing machines from entering Aboriginal country in mid 2011; state violence against the Nyoongar Tent Embassy in early 2012; and, the government's announcement in May 2011 that it would amend the Aboriginal Heritage Act. Through this analysis, lines are drawn between media, machines and might for the purpose of enabling white sight to see private capital accumulation functioning within the reproduction of state violence against Aboriginal people.

Abstract:
Social discussions, academic debates and increased media attention to the ‘sexualisation’ of adolescents, particularly of teenage girls, have been ubiquitous in Western countries over the past two decades. Since the turn of the century, ‘hypersexualisation’ has been much discussed in Quebec media. This article frames hypersexualisation as a discourse and analyses the articulations between some of its major components, namely the definition of the endangered and redeemable adolescent subject and the presence of a failure narrative pertaining to historically specific emancipatory ideals. By doing so, it reveals the ways in which discussions about adolescent sexuality in Quebec can contribute to boundary mapping in a globalised context.

Abstract:
Anti-fat bias has become a critical issue to address given the moral panic over perceptions of the prevalence of ‘obesity’ that leads to further stigmatization of fatness ( Boero, 2007 ; Campos et al., 2006 ; Flegal et al., 2010 ; Gard, 2010 ; Tischner & Malson, 2008 ). Fat phobic attitudes result in negative outcomes for employment, relationships, and health care provision ( Teachman & Brownell, 2001 ; Maranto & Stenoien, 2000 ). The United States media has frequently been identified as a source that further reinforces stereotypes and contributes to anti-fat stigma ( Himes & Thompson, 2007 ). Specifically, the representation of fat characters in television has risen in recent years ( Himes & Thompson, 2007 ), possibly due to public pressure, marketing goals, or to better represent the general population. However, are these allegedly fat positive depictions effective alternatives to fat stigma? In the case of the Fox Television network's reality dating series featuring fat contestants, More to Love, pseudo-fat acceptance is the result. In this paper, we rely on a textual analysis of More to Love (in select episodes and promotional material) to highlight the undermining of fat acceptance in popular American media sources. We will discuss how pseudo-fat acceptance in this program further reinforces anti-fat stigma. Implications of fat stigmatizing and fat positive representation in the media will also be suggested.

Abstract:
Humans find themselves inhabiting an uncanny milieu of accelerated cultural transition, uncertainty, and geopolitical crisis. The transformation of human and nonhuman worlds in the wake of technological progress narratives have raised troubling ontological spectres. ‘How’, for instance, ‘do we conceive of being when the distinction between organic and machinic dissolves, when reality is folded into virtuality, [when] the body is morphed by technology, and [when] computer networks digitise knowledge?’ (Davis 1994: 1). As material relational agents, technological media leave phenomenological traces in the bodies they penetrate. ‘How do they touch us … do they merely reflect off our skin [and] the surface of our internal organs?’ ( Dunne 2005 :107). Electromagnetic frequencies that infiltrate somatic realms are accompanied by other affective vibrations too. This article explores the apocalyptic affects that jump between bodies entangled with technological media and in digital networks. It explores the ontological, epistemological, phenomenological, and ethical residues of such dark affective entanglements while positing how they might be harnessed in pedagogical practices that aim to work toward more affirmative somatechnical relations. It constitutes a theoretical/experimental exploration of the pedagogical value of affect theory in the context of progress-driven apocalyptic unease and seeks ways in which the sensibilities of fear and alienation constructed around the speeds and atmospheres of spectacular media culture might be productively wielded in Higher Education pedagogy as weapons of transformation.

The research in question was conducted in the Zona da Mata Canavieira of Alagoas, Brazil, a region that is characterized by the expressive presence of sugarcane agribusiness and poverty, which is manifested in critical indicators of human and social development. The study is an analysis of the living conditions of sugarcane workers in two cities located in this territory – Branquinha and União dos Palmares – as well as of the means accessed by these men and women and their relatives to ensure family survival. The study, which is eminently qualitative, was carried out based on the bibliographical research and the accomplishment of open and semi-structured interviews with men and women of the cities mentioned above that were at the intersection of the experience as workers in sugarcane sector and the experience as beneficiaries of Bolsa Família Program. The theoretical approach that guided the research is that which deals with the precariat, this fraction of class that according to the Brazilian sociologist Ruy Braga lives squeezed between the threat of socioeconomic exclusion and the increase of the exploitation of its workforce by economic sectors; and is also, according to the British economist Guy Standing, the social segment that most suffers from the insecurity about the rights. The study showed that sugarcane workers in Branquinha and União dos Palmares oscillated between formal work and informal work, but both of which were carried out in precarious conditions. The first is related to those activities that despite be registered are extremely painful and hurtful to the physical and mental health of the worker. Some examples are sugarcane cutting, herbicide application in cane fields, and cane scrolling on slopes. The second refers to the activities done without any social protection and which are equally heavy and painful. The exploration of sand in rivers and the work in quarries are some cases. It was also seen that even the workers who were beneficiaries of a monetary transfer program such as Bolsa Família continued to accomplish precarious works and were paid well below their basic consumption needs. This leads one to believe that the program puts away the workers from the risks of complete socioeconomic exclusion, but does not give them the conditions to get rid of the need to accomplish dirty, heavy, seasonal and poorly paid jobs, such as those in the cane field. The meia sola of the title, therefore, refers to these workers, since in the region where the empirical immersion has taken place the expression has to do with precariousness, indefinition and incompleteness. The meia sola is the precarious worker of the socio-geographic space known as the Zona da Mata Canavieira of Alagoas, that is a region with huge sugar cane fields and big sugar cane mills.
A pesquisa em questão foi desenvolvida na Zona da Mata Canavieira do estado de Alagoas, uma região que é caracterizada pela marcante presença do agronegócio canavieiro e ainda pela pobreza, manifesta em recorrentes índices críticos de desenvolvimento humano e social. A obra consiste na análise das condições de vida de trabalhadores agrícolas do setor canavieiro em duas cidades situadas nesse território – Branquinha e União dos Palmares –, bem como dos meios acessados por esses sujeitos e seus parentes para garantir a sobrevivência familiar. O estudo, de caráter eminentemente qualitativo, foi feito com base na pesquisa em fontes bibliográficas e na realização de entrevistas abertas e semiestruturadas com homens e mulheres das cidades acima referidas que se encontravam na intersecção da experiência com o trabalho no setor canavieiro e a experiência como beneficiários do Programa Bolsa Família (PBF). A abordagem teórica que orientou a pesquisa é aquela que trata do precariado, essa fração de classe que segundo o sociólogo brasileiro Ruy Braga vive espremida entre a ameaça da exclusão socioeconômica e a incrementação da exploração de sua força de trabalho por setores econômicos, e que, na concepção do economista britânico Guy Standing, é o segmento social que mais sofre com a insegurança frente aos direitos. O estudo mostrou que os trabalhadores canavieiros dos municípios de Branquinha e União dos Palmares oscilavam entre o trabalho formal e o trabalho informal, porém, ambos realizados em condições precárias. O primeiro está relacionado àquelas atividades que, apesar de “fichar a carteira”, são extremamente penosas e nocivas à saúde física e mental do trabalhador. Alguns exemplos são o corte de cana, a aplicação de herbicida nos canaviais e o embolamento de cana em encostas. Já o segundo referese às atividades feitas sem nenhuma proteção social e que são igualmente pesadas e estropiantes. A retirada de areia em rios e o trabalho em pedreiras são alguns casos. Foi visto também que mesmo as trabalhadoras e os trabalhadores beneficiários de um programa de transferência monetária como o PBF seguiam realizando trabalhos precários e sendo remunerados bem abaixo das suas necessidades básicas de consumo. Isso leva a crer que o programa afasta os sujeitos dos riscos da completa exclusão socioeconômica, mas não lhes dá condições de se livrarem da necessidade de realizar trabalhos sujos, pesados, sazonais e que pagam mal, como aqueles do canavial. O meia sola do título, portanto, refere-se a esses sujeitos, já que na região onde foi realizada a imersão empírica a expressão tem a ver com precariedade, indefinição e incompletude. O meia sola é o trabalhador precário do espaço sociogeográfico conhecido como a Zona da Mata Canavieira de Alagoas.

Resumo: O aumento da população mundial e a limitada área disponível para a produção de alimentos, exige que busquemos cada vez mais técnicas e tecnologias que aumentem a produtividade das áreas agrícolas. A produtividade de uma determinada cultura depende de diversos fatores, e conhecer os fatores que mais influenciam a determinação do seu potencial produtivo pode contribuir para a tomada de decisão em relação à utilização e gestão de recursos. Utilizando dados de monitores de colheita da cultura da soja nas safras de 08/09, 10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15 e 15/16, dados de precipitação destes anos, mapa de Condutividade Elétrica (CE) e das características químicas do solo para as safras de 09/10, 13/14, 14/15 e 15/16, este trabalho teve o objetivo de identificar os fatores mais relevantes para a determinação da produtividade da soja para auxiliar na determinação de Zonas Homogêneas de Manejo (ZHM) baseadas nestas características críticas. Comprovou-se que a disponibilidade de água é a principal determinante da produtividade da soja nas condições estudadas, sendo que a precipitação no mês de setembro, mês de implantação da cultura, apresentou-se como o fator mais crítico. Utilizando o mapa de produtividade média da cultura durante os anos estudados e o mapa de CE, foi possível identificar as áreas de potencial produtivo, mas a definição de ZHM mostrou-se desafiadora pois as características químicas do solo apresentaram alta variabilidade temporal, dificultando a determinação do manejo que...

Abstract: The growing world population and the limited area available for food production requires us to progressively seek techniques and technologies that increase the yield of agricultural crops. The yield of a crop depends on several factors and knowing the factors that most influences its yield potential can contribute to the decision making process regarding the use and management of resources. Using data from soybean yield monitors of 08/09, 10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15 and 15/16 season, precipitation data from these years, Electric Conductivity (EC) map and the chemical characteristics of the soil for the 9/10, 13/14, 14/15 and 15/16 crops, this work had the objective of identifying the most relevant factors that determine soybean yield to assist in the determination of Homogeneous Management Zones (HMZ) based on these critical characteristics. The availability of water was the main factor of soybean yield under the conditions the study was carried out, and the precipitation in September was the most critical factor, being the month in which the crop was seeded. Using the average productivity map and the EC map, it was possible to identify areas of yield potential, but the definition of HMZ was challenging because the chemical characteristics of the soil had high temporal variability, making it difficult to determine the best management to explore the areas of greater or lesser yield ...

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine and optimize desirable possibilities for the utilization of solar energy in the MENA region. Solar is growing in both installed watt capacity and international importance. MENA, the Middle East and North Africa region, has multiple qualities that make it an ideal location to produce social energy. The potential for development of solar energy producing facilities in MENA is great and the international impact its success could have would be even more significant. This examination considers: the solar technologies available, geography of the region, geopolitics, global economics, and practical application. The research materials include: scholarly journals and academic books, magazines, PDF documents and websites. The scholarly journals and books are the most reliable sources of information, but they are often incomplete and not up to date. This thesis includes noteworthy technologies and strategies not included in the scholarly works. The evidence examined suggests Solar will be an area of growth in MENA. There are many solar production strategies, which are economically profitable already, and more strategies that will be, as the price continues to drop. This thesis will help inform the reader of the International intricacies of producing solar energy in MENA.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar a estimativa do fluxo de calor no solo, a partir da temperatura do solo medida em uma ?nica profundidade, baseado no m?todo da derivada fracion?ria de meia ordem proposta por Wang e Bras (1999), e estabelecer um m?todo capaz de estimar a difusividade t?rmica do solo baseado na derivada temporal fracion?ria de meiaordem da temperatura do solo. Os resultados de fluxo de calor no solo foram comparados com o fluxo de calor no solo medido atrav?s de 2 placas de fluxo, e a difusividade t?rmica estimada foi comparada com medidas realizadas ?in loco?. Os resultados obtidos mostram excelente concord?ncia entre o fluxo estimado a partir da solu??o adotada e o fluxo medido, permitindo estimativas de longo termo para o fluxo de calor no solo a partir da s?rie temporal de temperatura medida em uma ?nica profundidade, bem como os valores da difusividade t?rmica estimados pelo m?todo estabelecido se mostraram coerentes e concordantes com valores medidos ?in loco?, e com valores encontrados na literatura utilizando m?todos convencionais.
The soil heat flux and soil thermal diffusivity are important components of the surface energy balance, especially in ar id and semi-arid regions. The obj ective of this work was to carry out to estimate the soil heat flux from th e soil temperature measured at a single depth, based on the half-order time derivative met hod proposed by Wang and Bras (1999), and to establish a method capable of es timating the thermal diffusivity of the soil, based on the half order derivative, from the temporal series of soil temperature at two depths. The results obtained in the estimates of soil heat flux were compared with the values of soil heat flux measured through flux plates, and the thermal di ffusivity estimated was compared with the measurements carried out in situ. The results obtained showed excellent concordance between the estimated and measured soil heat flux, with correlation (r), coeffici ent of determination (R 2 ) and standard error (W/m 2 ) of: r = 0.99093, R 2 = 0.98194 and error = 2.56 (W/m 2 ) for estimated period of 10 days; r = 0,99069, R 2 = 0,98147 and error = 2.59 (W/m 2 ) for estimated period of 30 days; and r = 0,98974, R 2 = 0,97958 and error = 2.77 (W/m 2 ) for estimated period of 120 days. The values of thermal di ffusivity estimated by the proposed method showed to be coherent and consis tent with in situ measured va lues, and with the values found in the literature usi ng conventional methods.

Resumo: Neste trabalho, foram realizados ensaios para avaliar a concentração de tocoferóis e fitoesteróis a partir do destilado desodorizado de óleo de soja (DDOS) utilizando o processo de destilação molecular. Os destilados desodorizados de óleos vegetais (DDOV) são subprodutos gerados pelas indústrias de refino de óleos vegetais, e podem ser considerados como as matérias-primas mais apropriadas para realizar a recuperação e concentração de tocoferóis e fitoesteróis porque apresentam maiores concentrações destas moléculas em relação às demais fontes naturais. Os DDOV são constituídos por diversas substâncias, entre elas, os ácidos graxos livres, fitoesteróis, tocoferóis, ésteres de fitoesteróis, hidrocarbonetos, glicerídeos e produtos da decomposição destas moléculas. Neste trabalho, os estudos e experimentos para realizar a concentração de tocoferóis e fitoesteróis foram divididos em duas classes: 1. ensaios realizados para eliminação de ácidos graxos livres (AGL), que constituem grande parte da matéria-prima (24 a 85%) e 2. ensaios realizados para eliminação de glicerídeos (di- e triglicerídeos). Para fins comparativos, a eliminação de AGL foi estudada através de duas estratégias distintas: (A) o emprego de apenas uma etapa de destilação utilizando diversas condições operacionais de temperatura do evaporador e vazão de alimentação e (B) a utilização de etapas sucessivas de destilação molecular. A eliminação de glicerídeos também foi estudada utilizandose duas estratégias distintas, são elas: (A) A utilização do DDOS bruto e (B) o emprego do DDOS modificado quimicamente. A modificação química do DDOS envolveu a realização de uma reação de saponificação seguida de uma tapa de acidulação. Estes experimentos foram realizados com o intuito de comparar e discutir as diferentes estratégias utilizadas para concentração de tocoferóis e fitoesteróis a partir do DDOS por meio da destilação molecular. Além disso, também foi realizada neste trabalho a avaliação do simulador Dismol (Batistella, 1996) para a eliminação dos AGL do DDOS utilizando apenas uma etapa de destilação molecular e diversas condições operacionais
Abstract: In this work, experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the concentration of tocopherols and phytosterols from soybean oil deodorizer distillate (SODD) through molecular distillation process. The vegetable oils deodorizer distillates (VODD) are byproducts generated by the industries of vegetable oil refining and can be considered as one of the raw materials more appropriated to conduct the recovery and concentration of tocopherols and phytosterols due to the higher concentrations of these molecules in comparison with other natural sources. VODD are composed by several substances, among them, free fatty acids, phytosterols, tocopherols, phytosterols esters, hydrocarbons, acylglycerols and decomposition products of these molecules. The studies and experiments to carry out tocopherols and phytosterols concentration were organized in two classes: 1. experiments performed for free fatty acids (FFA) elimination, which composed the major part of the raw material (24 a 85%), and 2. experiments carried out for acylglycerols elimination. Within the experiments developed for FFA elimination, two different strategies were conducted for comparison. They are: (A) using just one distillation step and different operating conditions of evaporator temperature and feed flow rate and (B) employing successive steps of molecular distillation. For acylglycerols elimination, two distinct strategies were used. They are: (A) using crude SODD and (B) using SODD chemically modified. The chemical preparation of the SODD involved a saponification reaction followed by an acidulation step. These experiments were performed aiming to compare and discuss different strategies that can be used for tocopherols and phytosterols concentration from SODD using molecular distillation. In addition, in this work, it was performed the validation of DISMOL (Batistella, 1996) simulator for FFA elimination using just one molecular distillation step and various operating conditions

Resumo: São muito comuns os casos de obras que tem problemas de fundações devidos ao colapso do solo e, em sua grande maioria, essas obras têm como correção o reforço de fundações com estacas "Mega" de concreto que, apesar da grande utilização, ainda existem poucos estudos sobre este tipo de estaca. Com o objetivo adicionar parâmetros ao meio técnico sobre este tipo de fundação e sobre a influência do colapso do solo em sua capacidade de carga, foi feito provas de carga em estacas "Mega" de concreto com comprimentos de 6 e 8 metros, em solo com umidade natural e pré-inundado. Com os resultados obtidos foi possível verificar que a perda na capacidade de carga neste tipo de estaca é significativa e deve ser considerada quando utilizada em solos colapsíveis.
Abstract: There are very common cases of works that have problems due to the collapse of foundations and soil, and in the most of the works, the solution applied is the underpinning with Mega piles of concrete that, despite the wide use, there are few studies on this type of foundation. With the aim of add parameters to the technical means about this type of foundation and the influence of the collapse of the soil in its load capacity, load tests were performed on concrete Mega piles with lengths of 6 and 8 meters, in soil with natural moisture and pre-flooded. With the results it was possible to verify that the decrease in the load capacity in this type of foundations is significant and should be considered when used in collapsible soils.

Abstract:
The double-pass solar collector with porous media in the lower channel provides a higher outlet temperature compared to the conventional single-pass collector. Therefore, the thermal efficiency of the solar collector is increasing. The solar collector can be used for a wide variety of applications such as solar industrial process heat and solar drying of agricultural produce. A theoretical model has been developed for the double-pass solar collector. An experimental setup has been designed and constructed. Comparisons of the theoretical and the experimental results have been conducted. Such comparisons include the outlet temperatures and thermal efficiencies of the solar collector for various design and operating conditions. Close agreement has been obtained between the theoretical and experimental results. In addition, heat transfer and pressure drop relationships have been developed for air following through the porous media. The porous media has been arranged with difference porosities to increase heat transfer, area density and the total heat transfer rate. The heat transfer coefficient and friction factors are strong function of porosity.

Abstract:
Este trabalho apresenta a implementação de um algoritmo de rastreamento do ponto de máxima potência (MPPT - Maximum Power Point Tracking) híbrido baseado na combinação de métodos de otimização, heurístico e meta-heurístico, aplicado em um sistema fotovoltaico (FV). Métodos heurísticos possuem seu desempenho afetado sob condições de sombreamento parcial, não sendo capazes de garantir a busca pelo ponto de máxima potência global (GMPP). Assim sendo, algoritmos de MPPT baseados em meta-heurísticas têm sido utilizados na extração da máxima potência de arranjos FV. Porém, tais métodos apresentam comportamentos aleatórios em regime transitório provocando grandes oscilações de potência e podem apresentar desempenho afetado sob pequenas variações na irradiação solar. Portanto, este trabalho emprega o método de otimização meta-heurístico denominado Arrefecimento Simulado (SA – Simulated Annealing) para garantir o rastreamento do GMPP, sendo substituído pelo método heurístico Condutância Incremental (IC – Incremental Conductance) após a convergência. Os resultados do algoritmo híbrido sãocomparados considerando cada algoritmo (IC e SA) utilizado individualmente no sistema FV por meio de simulações computacionais.

Abstract Feasibility of ionic liquids as liquid thermal storage media and heat transfer fluids in a solar thermal power plant was investigated. Many ionic liquids such as [C4min][PF6], [C8mim][PF6], [C4min][bistrifluromethane sulflonimide], [C4min][BF4], [C8mim][BF4], and [C4min][bistrifluromethane sulflonimide] were synthesized and characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), viscometry, and some other methods. Properties such as decomposition temperature, melting point, viscosity, density, heat capacity, and thermal expansion coefficient were measured. The calculated storage density for [C8mim][PF6] is 378 MJ/m3 when the inlet and outlet field temperatures are 210°C and 390°C. For a single ionic liquid, [C4mim][BF4], the liquid temperature range is from −75°C to 459°C. It is found that ionic liquids have advantages of high density, wide liquid temperature range, low viscosity, high chemical stability, non-volatility, high heat capacity, and high storage density. Based on our experimental results, it is concluded that ionic liquids could be excellent liquid thermal storage media and heat transfer fluids in solar thermal power plant.

Abstract:
Os métodos de Monte Carlo e da Soma de Potência foram combinados numa rotina computacional de cálculo de fluxo de potência probabilístico em redes de distribuição radiais de geração solar fotovoltaica, visando resultados mais realísticos dos perfis de tensão. As cargas e geração solar são variáveis aleatórias de entrada. Então, essas cargas são modeladas como tendo distribuição normal e as funções de distribuição de probabilidade e distribuição acumulada da potência injetada são obtidas por meio de dados reais utilizando a distribuição generalizada de valores extremos. A rotina computacional desenvolvida foi aplicada no cálculo do fluxo de potência no sistema-teste IEEE 33 barras com a inserção de um e dois geradores. Os resultados demonstram que o método proposto pode ser aplicado para verificar probabilisticamente se as tensões atendem os limites desejados em todas as barras de carga de um sistema conectado à rede fotovoltaica.

Abstract:
It is estimated that within the next 40 years, solar thermal power plants would be capable of supplying more than half of the electricity needs of EUMENA. While solar irradiance differs widely in Europe due to seasonal variations, in the MENA region, there is abundant and continuous solar irradiance. This make the MENA region suitable for establishing CSP plants and exporting the electricity generated to Europe. This has driven many institutions and agencies, including the World Bank and the Desertec Foundation, to propose various schemes to promote the use of CSP systems in the MENA region. The objective of this paper is to examine the existing policy and regulatory frameworks in the MENA countries, identify any barriers and make recommendations on how to surmount these barriers, to increase the scale and scope of utilizing CSPs and other renewable energy technologies (RETs) in the region. The paper concludes by making a number of policy and regulatory recommendations to support utilization of solar thermal energy resource within the MENA region.

Sin lugar a dudas el mantenimiento industrial tiene una gran participación en el proceso de dirección estratégica de cualquier organización sin importar su naturaleza, en la actualidad los directivos adquieren el gran desafío de mostrar el mantenimiento como una inversión en activos y no como un gasto; lo que se traduce en buscar mejores herramientas que permitan identificar las mejores maniobras para alcanzar la meta y por supuesto que pueda ser medible a partir de una serie de aspectos específicos del área. Hablar de dirección estratégica es hablar de balanced scorecard; su enfoque que solo busca integrar la estrategia y la evaluación del negocio ha mostrado ser productora de grandes resultados. La herramienta BSC crea un vínculo permanente entre cuadro dimensiones críticas para el éxito de cualquier organización; las finanzas, los clientes, el aprendizaje y crecimiento, finalmente el negocio interno.

Full text
Abstract:
Background Opioid analgesia has become the mainstay for acute pain management in the postoperative setting. However, the use of opioid medications comes with significant risks and side effects. Due to increasing numbers of prescriptions to those with chronic pain, opioid medications have become more expensive while becoming less effective due to the buildup of patient tolerance. The idea of opioid-free analgesic techniques has rarely been breached in many hospitals. Emerging research has shown that opioid-sparing approaches have resulted in lower reported pain scores across the board, as well as significant cost reductions to hospitals and insurance agencies. In addition to providing adequate pain relief, the predicted cost burden of an opioid-free or opioid-sparing approach is significantly less than traditional methods. Methods The following groups were considered in our inclusion criteria: those who speak the English language, all races and ethnicities, male or female, home medications, those who are at least 18 years of age and able to provide written informed consent, those undergoing inpatient or same-day surgical procedures. In addition, our scoping review includes the following exclusion criteria: those who are non-English speaking, those who are less than 18 years of age, those who are not undergoing surgical procedures while admitted, those who are unable to provide numeric pain score due to clinical status, those who are unable to provide written informed consent, and those who decline participation in the study. Data was extracted by one reviewer and verified by the remaining two group members. Extraction was divided as equally as possible among the 11 listed references. Discrepancies in data extraction were discussed between the article reviewer, project editor, and group leader. Results We identified nine primary sources addressing the use of ketamine as an alternative to opioid analgesia and post-operative pain control. Our findings indicate a positive correlation between perioperative ketamine administration and postoperative pain control. While this information provides insight on opioid-free analgesia, it also revealed the limited amount of research conducted in this area of practice. The strategies for several of the clinical trials limited ketamine administration to a small niche of patients. The included studies provided evidence for lower pain scores, reductions in opioid consumption, and better patient outcomes. Implications for Nursing Practice Based on the results of the studies’ randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses, the effects of ketamine are shown as an adequate analgesic alternative to opioids postoperatively. The cited resources showed that ketamine can be used as a sole agent, or combined effectively with reduced doses of opioids for multimodal therapy. There were noted limitations in some of the research articles. Not all of the cited studies were able to include definitive evidence of proper blinding techniques or randomization methods. Small sample sizes and the inclusion of specific patient populations identified within several of the studies can skew data in one direction or another; therefore, significant clinical results cannot be generalized to patient populations across the board.

Informe de Política Monetaria - Enero de 2021. Banco de la República de Colombia, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/inf-pol-mont-spa.tr1-2021.

Full text
Abstract:
De acuerdo con el mandato constitucional, el Banco de la República debe “velar por mantener el poder adquisitivo de la moneda, en coordinación con la política económica general”. Para cumplir con este mandato, la Junta Directiva del Banco de la República (JDBR) adoptó como estrategia un esquema flexible de inflación objetivo, en el cual las acciones de política monetaria (PM) buscan conducir la inflación a una meta puntual y alcanzar el nivel máximo sostenible del producto y del empleo. La flexibilidad del esquema le permite a la JDBR mantener un balance apropiadoentre el logro de la meta de inflación y el propósito de suavizar las fluctuaciones del producto y el empleo alrededor de su senda sostenible. La JDBR estableció una meta de inflación del 3 %, planteada sobre la variación anual del índice de precios al consumidor (IPC). En el corto plazo la inflación puede ser afectada por factores que están fuera del control de la PM, como por ejemplo cambios en los precios de los alimentos debido a fenómenos climáticos. Para incorporar lo anterior, la JDBR anuncia, junto con la meta, un rango de ±1 punto porcentual (3 ±1 pp), el cual no es un objetivo de la PM, pero refleja el hecho de que la inflación puede fluctuar alrededor de la meta, sin pretender que sea siempre igual al 3 %. El principal instrumento que tiene la JDBR para el control de la inflación es la tasa de interés de política (tasa repo a un día o tasa de interés de referencia). Dado que las acciones de PM toman tiempo en tener un efecto completo sobre la economía y la inflación, para fijar su valor la JDBR evalúa el pronóstico y las expectativas de la inflación frente a la meta, así como el estado actual y las perspectivas sobre la evolución de la economía. La JDBR se reúne una vez al mes, pero solo en ocho meses sesiona de forma ordinaria para tomar decisiones de PM (enero, marzo, abril, junio, julio, septiembre, octubre y diciembre). En los cuatro meses restantes (febrero, mayo, agosto y noviembre) no se toman, en principio, decisiones de este tipo. Al finalizar las Juntas donde se toman decisiones de PM, se publica un comunicado y se hace una rueda de prensa a cargo del gerente general del Banco y el ministro de Hacienda. El siguiente día hábil se publican las minutas de la Junta, donde se describen las posturas que llevaron a adoptar la decisión. Adicionalmente, en enero, abril, julio y octubre se publica, junto con las minutas, el Informe de Política Monetaria (IPM) realizado por el equipo técnico del Banco: el miércoles de la semana siguiente a la Junta el gerente general aclara inquietudes sobre las minutas y el gerente técnico del Banco presenta el IPM. Este esquema de comunicación busca entregar información relevante y actualizada que contribuya a la toma de mejores decisiones por parte de los agentes de la economía.
