Abstract: The emergence and development of tourism attractions in inner cities throughout the world has given rise to a number of scholarly debates in the academic study of urban tourism. While academic scholarship in the field of urban tourism began with the cities of the developed states mostly in the 1980s, the emergence and development of tourism initiatives in the inner cities of the developing states in 1990s has drawn a great deal of attention to the South as well. This research explores the emergence and development of an inner city tourism initiative in the form of a craft project known as Beautiful Things. Beautiful Things is a two-year-old craft project located at Newtown’s Cultural Precinct, in the inner city of Johannesburg. The project was inaugurated at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in August 2002, and has since its relocation to the inner city of Johannesburg in December 2002, contributed significantly to the physical, social and economic regeneration of this area. The study of this project is very important in that it is shedding some light on the role of heritage and cultural industries in rejuvenating declining inner cities. It gives light on how Newtown Cultural Precinct as a whole functions within the inner city of Johannesburg. In spite of this project’s role in the development of the Johannesburg inner city, Beautiful Things has not yet been explored for academic research. This research on Beautiful Things is set to be informative on a number of theoretical issues underpinning the development of urban heritage and cultural tourism in general and the development of tourism in Johannesburg. The findings of the study of Beautiful Things reveal important international trends on the development of heritage and cultural attractions in inner cities and elucidate a number of similarities in the development of tourism policies across the cities of the world. This research begins with a chapter on the international experiences of heritage and cultural tourism developments in inner cities and then follows by a study of Johannesburg’s tourism policy and strategy developments. Both chapters are vital in providing the context under which Beautiful Things came to emerge in the inner city of Johannesburg, performing an important role of regenerating the declining inner city. The last part of this research is an empirical confirmation study of physical, social and economic contributions of Beautiful Things in the inner city of Johannesburg. The research is informed by theories of neo-liberalization, local economic development, and inner city regeneration.

Background: Microbreweries are a rapid and emergent alternative in the alcoholic beverage industry. Understanding resource selection, development, and management with their institutional context and capital are critical for microbreweries to develop sustained competitive advantage in a difficult industry. Therefore, using Oliver’s (1997) and Bresser and Millonig’s (2003) integration of resource capital and institutional capital, the researchers identified a gap in the literature and were interested in exploring how Swedish microbreweries select and manage resource and institutional capital in their competitive context and identify challenges to existing literature.                  Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore and investigate how Swedish microbreweries select, develop, and manage institutional and resource-based capital. The study looks to explain the internal strategy process and factors affecting the microbrewery’s decisions.     Method: The study is an exploratory approach by combining existing theoretical frameworks and empirical data. Empirical data was collected through a qualitative research method consisting of seven semi-structured interviews and analysed with the thematic analysis technique.   Conclusion: The authors propose an amendment to Oliver’s (1997) model that links the empirical data and existing literature. In this context, collaborations and brewery networks are an important overarching dynamic that influences the procurement and management of resource capital and institutional capital. The dominant nature of collaborations and brewery networks is instrumental in the success of the microbrewery in question as it provides access to valuable resources and knowledge development crucial to achieving a sustained competitive advantage. This model can be used in the understanding of the overlapping factors facing the Swedish microbrewing industry.

The number of microbreweries in Sweden has shown a huge increase over the last few years. The massive expansion concerns professionals as well as civilians, and the purpose of this thesis is to examine what factors answers for this boom. This was proceeded through qualitative interviews with different professions within the business. Together with eight performers included in the value chain of the brewery industry, the authors have managed to point out the most important circumstances that can help explain this phenomenon. Changed ways of living, developed techniques, liberalizations, foreign influences and several other factors have had a direct impact on the success of these enterprises. However, the writers assessed the underlying power of the following as greater; The local assortment of Systembolaget TSLS, the inclusion of women as consumers, the establishment of the first supplier of brewery commodities and equipment on the Swedish market, a considerable quality improvement of beer and also the emergence of social media. Above-mentioned factors constitute as main conclusions of this thesis. / Antalet mikrobryggerier i Sverige har ökat något enormt under de senaste åren. Den massiva expansionen berör såväl branschfolk som privatpersoner, och syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilka faktorer som legat till grund för boomen. Detta genomförs med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med olika yrkesroller verksamma i branschen. Tillsammans med åtta aktörer inom bryggerinäringens värdekedja har författarna utifrån empirin listat de viktigaste omständigheter som kan hjälpa till att förklara fenomenet. Förändrad livsstil, utvecklad teknik, liberaliseringar, utländska influenser och en mängd andra faktorer har haft en direkt påverkan på mikrobryggeriernas framgång. Dock bedöms att vissa faktorer haft en tillräckligt betydande roll för att utgöra studiens slutsatser; Systembolagets lokala sortiment TSLS, inkluderandet av kvinnor som konsumentgrupp, etablerandet av Sveriges första leverantör av råvaror och utrustning för bryggare, en avsevärt förbättrad kvalitet på drycken samt uppkomsten av sociala medier.

A produção industrial de edificações pré-fabricadas requer que sejam executados, durante a fase de pesquisa e desenvolvimento, mockups e protótipos para que os responsáveis possam avaliar o desempenho dos componentes, durante a montagem. São tarefas típicas de artesanato, elaboradas à margem das linhas de produção industrial. A indústria de edificações, seja por processos muito ou pouco industrializados, não mostra preferência pelo uso de softwares de manufatura para elaboração de seus projetos.Muitas empresas preferem os softwares de desenho bidimensional ou os softwares com tecnologia BIM. Neste contexto o objetivo desta dissertação é demonstrar como o uso de software de manufatura contribui para a eficiência da prototipagem digital na produção de casas pré-fabricadas. São analisados quatro sistemas: estrutura; revestimentos verticais portáteis; forro magnético; e guarda corpo transparente para uma edificação de alta eficiência energética pré-fabricada, portátil, cujos projetos foram desenvolvidos com auxílio de software de manufatura onde a interoperabilidade entre o projeto e os meios de produção digital foram determinantes para alcançar o resultado obtido. Com auxílio do software de manufatura, os testes de avaliação de montagem foram executados utilizando componentes digitais, modelados com as informações sobre a forma e as características físicas dos materiais utilizados. O método utilizado, onde as avaliações de desempenho se realizaram partir de componentes digitais, com baixo custo e boa velocidade de produção, assegurou a qualidade da produção dos componentes físicos. Como resultado, uma equipe de 20 alunos, sem especialização na produção de edificações, montou uma edificação de alta eficiência energética, com área interna de 45 m2, em 150 horas, durante uma competição internacional entre universidades realizada em setembro de 2012 em Madri. Valorizou-se o ato de projetar. O projeto, utilizado como a principal ferramenta para tomada de decisões relacionadas com a produção, viabilizou a aplicação do método. A correta utilização dos recursos de projeto por meios digitais permite projetar cenários virtuais confiáveis antes de produzi-los com segurança. / Physical models (mock-ups and prototypes) are usually employed during design and development phases of prefab homes in order to assess the performance of the components during assembly phase.These are typical examples of craft developed on the margins of industrial processes.The building industry, regardless of level of industrialization, actually does not have shown preference in using manufacturing software for design development; many companies prefer two-dimensional CAD software or BIM system-based software. In this context, the aim of this dissertation is to demonstrate how the use of manufacturing software contributes to the efficiency of digital prototyping in the production of prefab homes. Four systems of an energy-efficient prefab home were analyzed: structure, portable vertical coatings, roof panels with magnetic attachment devices and transparent guardrails. The design of these systems were developed using manufacturing software whose interoperability with CNC machines was crucial to the achievement of the project´s goals. The assessment of the assembly process of the systems was made by means of manufacturing software using digital components modeled as from the shape of the designed components and of the physical characteristics of materials.Assembly simulations were made by using digital prototyping, avoiding expensive and time-consuming processes of producing and assessment physicalmodels.As a result a team of 20 students, not specialized in the production of buildings, have assembled an energy efficient house, with floor area of 45 m2, in 150 hours, during an international competition among universities held in Madrid, September 2012. Application of the method was possible due to the valuation of the team work during the design phase, when the main decisions concerning production were taken. The correct use of digital prototyping resources enables users to try reliable scenarios and ensure safety conditions during production.

A pesquisa toma como objeto os discursos e práticas utilizados por participantes do mercado de cervejas artesanais, surgido no Brasil a partir dos anos 1990, a fim de explorar como estes estabelecem uma identidade própria do artesanal, classificando-o como categoria à parte no mundo dos bens e, logo, um mercado à parte no universo das cervejas. Esta análise permite refletir acerca do papel dos discursos e das interações entre produtores e consumidores para o estabelecimento de uma identidade própria, dialogando com a literatura em sociologia econômica preocupada com as dinâmicas de emergência e estabelecimento de nichos de mercado ou mercados em si. Assim, também é perpassada por uma preocupação com a dimensão cultural destes processos, entendida como um trabalho ativo de classificação e valoração dos bens. Estes discursos e suas implicações são captados por meio de entrevistas e etnografias realizadas em feiras e eventos de cerveja, momentos em que os discursos de produtores entram em contato diretamente com consumidores, e permitem observar as implicações práticas destas dimensões discursivas. Nestas, um elemento central de análise é a figura do outro, com a noção de alteridade e oposição atribuída às grandes empresas do ramo cervejeiros, referidas como grandes indústrias. Ao restituir como se dá o processo de construção destas identidades partidas entre o grande e o artesanal, bem como quais as dinâmicas que se formam neste universo, exploramos novas possibilidades na interpretação dos processos de competição e emergência de mercados. / The object study for this research are the discourses and practices from craft beer Market agents, which emerged in Brazil in the 1990s, in order to explore how this agents establish their own craft identity, being able to classify it as a new consumption category in the world of goods, apart from common beer. This analysis allows reflection upon the role discourses and interactions among producers and consumers for the establishment of this own identity, in conversation with the wider literature in Economic Sociology which focuses on the emergence and establishment of new markets or Market niches. This work is thus also permeated by the cultural dimension of these processes, which are to be understood as active classification and valuation works. Discourses and their implications are captured through interviews and ethnographic incursions in beer events, moments in which producers may directly talk to consumers, which allow us to perceive practical implications of these discursive dimensions. Among them, one of the key elements is the role of the other, with otherness and oppositions attributed to the big beer companies. By recapturing the process of how identities split between craft and big are built, we explore new opportunities of interpreting competition and emerging markets.

These yeasts also settle easily in the middle, avoiding undesired contaminations, in addition to generally presenting high rates of yield, productivity and fermentation efficiency. Selenium (Se) is a mineral that performs antioxidant functions, being essential as trace element to human health and its deficiency is correlated to the occurrence of several diseases. Due to these properties, the incorporation of Se into some food and / or food supplements associated with yeast is already a reality. Considering that beer is the most consumed alcoholic drink in the world, this research aimed to select yeasts to produce artisan beer supplemented with selenium. To do so, using the multivariate analysis technique, the selection of yeasts with potential for brewing was initially performed, and three strains (SC52, SC57 and SC82) were selected; Then applying the Doehlert factorial design and using the Response Surface Methodology technique, the optimization of the fermentation parameters (fermentation temperature and selenium concentration) for the production of beer supplemented with selenium was carried out. The yeasts SC52 and SC82 presented significant responses for the production of the supplemented beer, and the optimum values (Se concentration and fermentation temperature) were 11 mg L-1 and 25.0? C for yeast SC52 and 12 mg L-1 and 23.5? C for yeast SC82; (CSeSC52 and CSeSC82) were produced on a microbrewery scale, the fermentation parameters of the process were evaluated and total selenium and selenium species present in yeast and beers were quantified. The beers produced presented fermentative results within the commercial standards, being recommended by DDR (Recommended Daily Dose) of Se, a maximum consumption of approximately 600 mL of CSeSC52 beer and 740 mL of CSeSC82 beer. / O uso de leveduras selecionadas constitui aspecto relevante na produ??o de cervejas de qualidade, pois al?m da produ??o de etanol e g?s carb?nico contribuem significativamente para a forma??o de compostos secund?rios, os quais conferem o flavor da cerveja. Estas leveduras tamb?m se estabelecem facilmente no meio, evitando contamina??es indesejadas, al?m de apresentarem, geralmente, altas taxas de rendimento, produtividade e efici?ncia na fermenta??o. O sel?nio (Se) ? um mineral que desempenha fun??es antioxidantes, sendo essencial como elemento tra?o ? sa?de humana e a sua defici?ncia est? correlacionada ? ocorr?ncia de v?rias doen?as. Devido a estas propriedades, a incorpora??o do Se em alguns alimentos e/ou suplementos alimentares associados a leveduras j? ? uma realidade. Considerando que a cerveja constitui a bebida alco?lica mais consumida no mundo, esta pesquisa objetivou selecionar leveduras para produzir cerveja artesanal suplementada com sel?nio. Para tanto, a partir do uso da t?cnica de an?lise multivariada, inicialmente foi realizada a sele??o de leveduras com potencial para produ??o de cerveja, sendo selecionadas tr?s cepas (SC52, SC57 e SC82); em seguida, aplicando o planejamento fatorial Doehlert e utilizando a t?cnica de Metodologia de Superf?cie de Respostas, realizou-se a otimiza??o dos par?metros fermentativos (temperatura de fermenta??o e concentra??o de sel?nio) para a produ??o de cerveja suplementada com sel?nio. As leveduras SC52 e SC82 apresentaram respostas significativas para a produ??o da cerveja suplementada, sendo que os valores ?timos (concentra??o de Se e Temperatura de fermenta??o) obtidos foram de 11 mg L-1 e 25,0 ?C para a levedura SC52 e 12 mg L-1 e 23,5 ?C para a levedura SC82; por fim, foram produzidas duas cervejas artesanais suplementadas com sel?nio (CSeSC52 e CSeSC82) em escala de microcervejaria, sendo avaliados os par?metros fermentativos do processo e quantificados o sel?nio total e as esp?cies de sel?nio presentes nas leveduras e nas cervejas. As cervejas produzidas apresentaram resultados fermentativos dentro dos padr?es comerciais, sendo recomendado em virtude da DDR (Dose Di?ria Recomendada) de Se, um consumo m?ximo de aproximadamente 600 mL da cerveja CSeSC52 e 740 mL da cerveja CSeSC82.

Este trabalho apresenta uma observação acurada do universo da cerâmica no povoado de Maragogipinho, Bahia. A pesquisa revela quem são os mestres e mestras do barro, dá a conhecer o seu processo criativo e educativo. Esses homens e mulheres são protagonistas do patrimônio cultural imaterial brasileiro, eles detêm e socializam conhecimentos que perpassam gerações, saberes tecidos em práticas de ensino não sistematizadas e nem legitimadas pelas culturas hegemônicas. A educação artesanal está fundada na ancestralidade, na repetição e na invenção, no constante diálogo entre a tradição e a emergência da modernidade: novas formas de criação e antigos segredos de ofício se misturam, numa tensão permanente entre transformação e conservação. O artesão e a artesã vivem o seu legado cultural e o mantêm vivo, reinventando-o e atualizando-o eternamente. Essa herança conserva a conexão com o passado, mas se reveste de novos símbolos e significados no presente para fortalecer a identidade dos autores e de suas comunidades, e para dar sentido ao futuro. / This work presents an accurate observation of the pottery universe in the village of Maragogipinho, Bahia. The research reveals who are the masters of clay, makes known their creative and educational process. These men and women are protagonists of the brazilian intangible cultural heritage, they preserve and socialize knowledge across generations, originated in unsystematic practices, not legitimized by the hegemonic cultures. Craft Education is established on ancestry, on repetition and invention, in constant dialogue between tradition and the emergence of the modernity: new ways of creating and old trade secrets are mixed on a permanent tension between transformation and conservation. The craftsman lives his cultural legacy and keeps it alive reinventing and updating it forever. This heritage preserves the connection with the past, but acquires new symbols and meanings to strengthen the identity of the authors and their communities, and to make sense of the future.
