FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / Utilizou-se 32 leitÃes machos castrados e fÃmeas, de linhagem comercial, desmamados aos 21 dias de idade e com mÃdia de peso vivo de 6,2 kg, com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito de diferentes nÃveis (0,0; 7,0; 14,0; 21,0%) de inclusÃo de farelo de coco (FC) e formas de arraÃoamento sobre o desempenho zootÃcnico de leitÃes na fase inicial I (21 aos 42 dias de idade) e fase inicial II (43 aos 63 dias de idade) e o perÃodo total (21 aos 63 dias de idade), bem como sua viabilidade econÃmica. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi blocos ao acaso com esquema fatorial 4x2 (quatro nÃveis de inclusÃo de FC e duas formas de arraÃoamento - dietas secas e Ãmidas) com quatro repetiÃÃes por tratamento e um animal por parcela. O critÃrio para formaÃÃo dos blocos foi o peso inicial dos leitÃes. Os resultados mostraram que para a fase inicial I e perÃodo total, o ganho de peso mÃdio diÃrio (GPMD), consumo de raÃÃo mÃdio diÃrio (CRMD) e conversÃo alimentar (CA) nÃo diferiram significativamente (P>0,05) para os diferentes nÃveis de inclusÃo de FC e formas de arraÃoamento. Para a fase inicial II, o GPMD e CRMD nÃo diferiram significativamente (P>0,05), porÃm a CA foi significativa (P<0,05). Concluiu-se que o fornecimento de farelo de coco à tecnicamente viÃvel atà o nÃvel de 21,0% nas dietas de leitÃes no perÃodo de creche, independente da forma de arraÃoamento, e que a melhor resposta econÃmica foi com o nÃvel de 21,0% de FC / It was used 32 piglets, castrated male and female, of commercial lineage, weaned at 21 days of age and with average live weight of 6.2 kg, with the objective to evaluating the effect of the inclusion of different levels (0,0; 7,0; 14,0 ; 21,0%) of coconut meal (CM) and feeding forms on the performance of piglets in the initial phase I (21 to 42 days of age), initial phase II (43 to 63 days of age), and total period (21 to 63 days of age), how so your economic viability. The experimental design used was a randomized blocks with scheme factorial 4x2 (four levels of inclusion of CM and two feed forms - dry and wet diets) with four replicates by treatment and one animal for part. The criterion used for block formation was the initial weight of piglets. The results showed that for the initial phase I and total period, the daily mean weight gain (DMWG), daily mean feed intake (DMFI) and the feed conversion (FC) did not differ significantly (P> 0.05) by inclusion of different levels of CM and feeding forms. For the initial phase II, the DNWG and DMFI did not differ significantly (P>0,05), but the CA was significant (P<0,05). It was concluded that the supply of coconut meal is viable technically up to 21,0% in the diets of piglets in the period nursery, independent of the feeding forms, and that the best economic response was obtained with the level of inclusion of 21,0% of CM

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Foram conduzidos dois experimentos, com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos da inclusÃo do farelo de arroz integral (FAI) em raÃÃes para leitÃes na fase inicial. No experimento I foram avaliados o desempenho zootÃcnico, a ocorrÃncia de diarrÃia, bem como a viabilidade econÃmica. Utilizou-se 60 leitÃes fÃmeas e machos castrados, dos 21 aos 42 dias de idade, com peso inicial mÃdio de 5,4  1,44 kg. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado com cinco nÃveis de inclusÃo de FAI (0,0; 5,0; 10,0; 15,0 e 20,0%) e com seis repetiÃÃes por tratamento, sendo que a unidade experimental (parcela) foi constituÃda por 2 animais. Os resultados mostraram que o consumo de raÃÃo mÃdio diÃrio (CRMD), ganho de peso mÃdio diÃrio (GPMD), conversÃo alimentar (CA) e a ocorrÃncia de diarrÃia, nÃo diferiram significativamente (P>0,05) para os diferentes nÃveis de inclusÃo de FAI. A anÃlise econÃmica mostrou a viabilidade da inclusÃo de FAI atà o nÃvel de 20,0%. No experimento II foram avaliados o desempenho zootÃcnico, formas de arraÃoamento, bem como a viabilidade econÃmica. Foram utilizados 64 leitÃes fÃmeas e machos castrados, dos 43 aos 67 dias de idade, com peso inicial mÃdio de 10,73  1,85 kg. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, em arranjo fatorial 4 x 2, quatro nÃveis de inclusÃo de farelo de arroz integral (0,0; 10,0; 20,0 e 30,0%) e duas formas de arraÃoamento (raÃÃo seca e raÃÃo Ãmida), com quatro repetiÃÃes por tratamento, sendo a unidade experimental constituÃda por 2 animais (parcela). Os resultados mostraram que o consumo de raÃÃo mÃdio diÃrio (CRMD), ganho de peso mÃdio diÃrio (GPMD) e conversÃo alimentar (CA) nÃo diferiram significativamente (P>0,05) para os diferentes nÃveis de inclusÃo de FAI. A anÃlise econÃmica mostrou que a inclusÃo de 30,0% de FAI apresentou a melhor resposta econÃmica. Concluiu-se que o fornecimento de farelo de arroz integral à viÃvel atà o nÃvel de 20,0% nas raÃÃes de leitÃes no perÃodo de 21 a 42 dias e atà o nÃvel de 30,0% no perÃodo de 43 a 67 dias da fase inicial, independente da forma de arraÃoamento. / Two experiments were led, with the objective of evaluating the effects of the inclusion of whole rice meal (WRM) in rations for piglets in the day care phase. In the 1st experiment, they were appraised the performance, the diarrhea incidence, as well as the economical viability. Were used 60 piglets, female and male castrated, of the 21 to the 42 days of age, with initial weight of 5.4  1.44 kg. The experimental design was completely randomized design with five levels of inclusion of WRM (0.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0 and 20.0%) and six replicates per treatment, and the experimental unit (parcel) it was incorporated by two animals. The results showed that the daily mean feed intake (DMFI), daily mean weight gain (DMWG), the feed conversion (FC) and diarrhea incidence did not differ significantly (P> 0.05) for the different levels of inclusion of WRM. The economic analysis shows the viability the inclusion of until 20.0% of WRM. In the 2nd experiment they were appraised the feeding forms on the performance, as well as the economical viability. Were used 64 piglets, female and male castrated, of the 43 to the 67 days of age, with initial weight of 10.73  1.85 kg. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial 4 x 2, four levels of inclusion of WRM (0.0, 10.0, 20.0 and 30.0%) and two feeding forms (ration dry and wet ration), with four replicates per treatment, the experimental unit consisted of two animals (parcel). The results showed that the daily mean feed intake (DMFI), daily mean weight gain (DMWG) and the feed conversion (FC) did not differ significantly (P> 0.05) for the different levels of inclusion of WRM. The economic analysis showed that the inclusion of 30.0% of WRM showed the best economic answer. It was ended that the supply of whole rice meal is viable until the level of 20.0% in the diets of pigs in the period initial I and until the level of 30.0% in the initial period II of the day care phase, independent in the feeding forms.

This diploma thesis is concerned with the analysis of economic growth in the Czech Republic since its origin in 1993 till 2009, aimed at the determination of strengths and weaknesses of the economic growth. According to the findings, the diploma thesis will afford several recommendations for the economic policy. The diploma thesis is divided into the theoretical and analytical part. The theory brings some economist's view of the economic growth questions. It mentions the transformation period of the Czechoslovakia centrally planned economy into the market economy. The analysis sets up the data in order to determine the Czech economic growth strengths and weaknesses with the help of demand, supply and resource analysis, the prognosis made by significant institutions and the international comparison for which the Slovak and European Union economics are used. At the end of the diploma thesis there are these findings used to conceive the economic policies arrangements.

The diploma thesis handles economic analysis of the company MD logistika, a.s. The work is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part describes the indicators of profitability, liquidity, activity, debt, costs and market indicators. DuPont analysis breaking down ROE was used and was followed by a more detailed decomposition of ROA. Within the value indicatiors was used economic value added, which was calculated by two methods. The credibility, bankruptcy and credibility - bankruptcy models were applied to evaluate the company. The operational leverage, financial leverage and more detailed analysis of stocks analysis were performed. In the practical part each procedure, which was elaborated in the theoretical part of company, was applied to the MD logistika, a.s. In the conclusion the company was compared with the closest competitors and the industry averages.

The Czech Republic's economic performance is measurable by some macroeconomic indicators which have made variable progress in recent years. Based on general economic conditions, economic development has impacted upon economic results of companies. Over time their progress is recorded by economic time series, which describe it. Through the agency of economic time series, economic development and mutual dependences among indicators can be researched. This problem can be solved by applying the methodology which helps describe and quantify relations among quantities. For the purpose of expression of a single time series, stochastic linear modelling is used, and for quantifying the strength of relation among time series, regression analyses and Granger causality testing are used.

This thesis deals with the evaluation of the impact of the economic crisis on the 130 largest cities in the Czech Republic. These municipalities are divided into four groups, which are then evaluated in detail. The research period is the time interval bounded by the years 2003 and 2012. The work consists of two parts. The first part describes the theoretical framework of municipal finances and the expected impact of the economic crisis on the budgets of municipalities. The second part deals with the assessment of revenues and expenses during the period under review. The analysis is performed both in absolute municipal budgets and on the basis of financial indicators that are used to analyze the financial health of municipalities.

The continuous rise of socio-economic inequality over the past decades with its connected political outcomes such as the Brexit vote in the UK, and the election of Donald Trump are currently a matter of intense debate both in academia and in journalism. A significant sign of the heightened interest was the surprise popularity of Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century. The book reached the top of the bestseller lists and was described as a "media Sensation" and Piketty himself as a "rock star Economist". This paper, drawing from a major international and cross-disciplinary study, investigates the print media treatment in four European countries of economic policy proposals presented in Capital. Applying social semiotic and critical discourse analysis, we specifically focus on articles which are in disagreement with these proposals and identify five categories of counterarguments used against Piketty: authorisation, moralisation, rationalisation, portrayal of victimhood and inevitability. Providing textual and linguistic examples we demonstrate how the use of linguistic resources normalises and conventionalises ideology-laden discourses of economic means (taxation) and effects, reinforcing particular views of social relations and class as common sense and therewith upholding and perpetuating power relations and inequalities. / Series: Department of Economics Working Paper Series

Resumo: O biodiesel é uma realidade no Brasil, devido ao Programa Nacional de Produção e Uso do Biodiesel (PNPB), que tornou obrigatório em 2008, adição de 2% de biodiesel em todo diesel comercializado, numa mistura denominada B2. O setor agroindustrial respondeu ao programa federal, enfrentando várias dificuldades para produção do biodiesel, em que se destaca a matéria-prima. Os problemas relacionados com a produção de biodiesel foram, principalmente, a escassez do óleo do vegetal, por causa das demandas dos mercados interno e externo, e as altas dos preços das matérias-primas disponíveis para a produção, tornando a fabricação deste biocombustível inviável até mesmo no Brasil, onde os custos de produção agrícolas estão entre os mais competitivos do mundo. O crambe é uma espécie vegetal que tem despertado interesse dos produtores brasileiros, devido ao teor de óleo, rusticidade, cultivo mecanizado e, principalmente, por ser uma cultura de inverno, torna-se uma opção a mais para o agricultor neste período. Além disso, pode compor sistemas de rotação de culturas, bem como ser utilizada como cobertura vegetal do solo no período de inverno. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de produção do crambe, avaliando os custos de produção e a análise energética da sua produção, em sistema de plantio direto, bem como as características físico-químicas do óleo e do biodiesel obtidas desses grãos. O ensaio foi conduzido no ano agrícola 2008, na Fazenda Experimental Lageado, pertencente à Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas - UNESP, localizada no município de Botucatu - SP. A produtividade obtida foi de 1.507,05 kg ha-1, resultando numa produção de 561,94 litros...

The agribusiness sector, said the federal program faced several difficulties in production of biodiesel, which stresses the material. The problems related to raw materials were mainly the shortage of vegetable oil, because of the demands of domestic and foreign markets, and the high prices of raw materials available for production, the production of biofuel made impossible by even in Brazil, where the costs of agricultural production are among the most competitive in the world. The Crambe is a species that has attracted interest of Brazilian producers due to oil content, rusticity, and mechanized cultivation, mainly as a crop of winter it becomes an option for most farmers in this period. Additionally, you can make crop rotation systems, and be used as a cover crop soil during the winter. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production potential of Crambe, evaluating production costs and energy balance of its production of Crambe no tillage and the physicochemical characteristics of oil and biodiesel obtained from these grains. The test was conducted in the agricultural year 2008 in Lageado Experimental Farm, belonging to the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences - UNESP, located in Botucatu - SP. The yield obtained was 1507.05 kg ha-1, resulting in production of 561,94 liters of oil per hectare. The fuel consumption was 17,68 L ha-1 and the energy demand of mechanized operations found an energy consumption of 41,82 kWh ha-1. The cost of deployment and conduct of Crambe...

The continued rise of socio-economic inequality over the past decades with its connected political outcomes such as the Brexit vote in the UK, and the election of Donald Trump are currently a matter of intense debate both in academia and in journalism. One significant sign of the heightened interest was the surprise popularity of Thomas Piketty's Capital in the twenty-first Century. The book reached the top of the bestseller lists and was described as a "media Sensation", with Piketty himself as a "rock star Economist". This paper, drawing from a major international and cross-disciplinary study, investigates the print media treatment in four European countries of economic policy proposals presented in Capital. Applying social semiotic and critical discourse analysis, we specifically focus on articles which are in disagreement with these proposals and identify five categories of counterarguments used against Piketty: authorisation, moralisation, rationalisation, portrayal of victimhood and inevitability. Providing textual and linguistic examples we demonstrate how the use of linguistic resources normalises and conventionalises ideology-laden discourses of economic means (taxation) and effects, reinforcing particular views of social relations and class as common sense and therewith upholding and perpetuating power relations and inequalities.

The thesis deals with effects of the economic crisis on the performance of two selected municipalities, Slaný and Smečno. There is analyzed the influence of crisis on the financial management of municipalities in 2008-2010. The thesis proposed ways communities can prevent a reduction in tax revenues and increase in current expenditures. Follow the determination whether these communities use these options. An integral part is the financial analysis that evaluates the financial health of both communities in 2008-2010.I focuses on the basic of indicators based on income and expenditure, as well as the debt and liquidity indicators. The work shows that the economic crisis has affected both municipalities. A noticeable drop in revenue was primarily in income taxes. On the contrary, stable sources of municipal budgets have become a value added tax, property tax and local taxes. Both municipalities have in times of economic crisis created sufficient financial resources and were able to easily pay their obligations. None of the municipalities is more indebted and their debt service gradually declined.
