To that end, we evaluated the economic gains made by producers of rum that had adopted the technique of aging, a technique that has been studied by the Department of Foods and Nutrition, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, UNESP / Araraquara and disseminated to producers of rum from the project Training of Small Cachaça of São Paulo. To conduct research, and a literature review traced a history of the project and finally made a field survey with cachaça producers participating in the project. The study proved the end of its economic gains with the aging of the product by smallholders proving, in this case, the efficiency of the process of technology transfer conducted by an extension project

The purpose of this study was to assess planning and delivering agricultural extension activities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq for future program implementation. The study was a descriptive research and used a modified Delphi technique to identify needed improvements and highlight barriers in planning and delivering extension activities by the willingness of extension workers. The population of the study was 50 MOAWR purposely selected government employees consisted of 10 extension experts, 15 extension administrators, and 25 extension agents. The study used three rounds web-based survey questionnaires. In Round I, the panelists were responded to two open ended questions to identify needed improvements and barriers in planning and delivering extension activities. The gathered information from Round I was examined, organized, and combined to create the second questionnaire for Round II. In Round II, the panelists were indicated their levels of agreement or disagreement about each needed improvement and barrier. The study employed a six-Likert scale with 1=”Strongly Agree”, 2=”Agree”, 3=”Somewhat Agree”, 4=”Somewhat Disagree”, 5=”Disagree”, and 6=”Strongly Disagree”. The needed improvements and barriers that received two-thirds of agreement (numbers 1 and 2 in the six-point Likert scale) were used to create the third questionnaire for Round III. In Round III, panelists were developed consensus by rating the statements that received two-third agreement in Round II. Equally, the same Round II six-point Likert scale was used in Round III. The result findings of the study were revealed to the demands of extension policy implementation in the region. The results of the study were summarized in three overall implementation theme areas: community based program development, building capacity program, and institutional structuring and three distinct research areas: leadership in extension, personal traits of extension agents, and external communication. Furthermore, the results of the study provided key points and details for each implementation theme and distinct research area.

Após a inauguração de seu novo complexo esportivo, em 24 de junho de 2010, as atividades extensionistas experimentaram aumento em aspectos qualitativos e quantitativos. Os aspectos qualitativos dizem respeito ao desenvolvimento das atividades de extensão em dependências novas ou reestruturadas, enquanto os aspectos quantitativos se referem ao expressivo aumento do número de projetos de extensão oferecidos, o que contribuiu para o atendimento de um público mais significativo. Após pouco mais de um ano de intensas atividades extensionistas, este trabalho se propôs a identificar pontos positivos que têm contribuído para o seu sucesso, bem como pontos negativos que têm prejudicado sua qualidade. A primeira parte do trabalho traz abordagem histórica sobre diversos assuntos, dentre os quais, a instituição tardia da universidade no Brasil, a história da extensão nas universidades brasileiras e a história da UFJF. A segunda parte trouxe à luz importante discussão sobre a indissociabilidade entre o ensino, pesquisa e extensão, a sua presença nas universidades brasileiras e, em especial, nas atividades extensionistas da FAEFID. Após a realização de entrevistas e aplicação de questionários, a terceira parte do trabalho analisa os dados levantados e apresenta sugestões sobre o que pode ser feito para melhorar a qualidade das atividades extensionistas desta Faculdade. Em suas considerações finais, o trabalho apresenta duas expectativas: a primeira, em relação à proposta de realização de uma pesquisa com intuito de descobrir as razões de desistência de um público denominado flutuante, e a segunda, a possibilidade de ser fonte de consulta que contribua para a melhoria das atividades de extensão que estão sendo desenvolvidas nas instituições de ensino superior brasileiras. / This dissertation aimed to assess the impact of the infrastructural expansion of the Physical Education and Sports College (FAEFID, in Portuguese) of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora in regards to the extension activities offered to the community, as well as the presence of the indissociability among teaching, research and extension in its academic activities. After the inauguration of its new sports complex, on June 24, 2010, the extension activities experimented increases both qualitative and quantitative aspects. The quantitative aspects refer to the development of extension activities in new or restructured facilities, while the quantitative aspects reflect the expressive increase in the number of extension projects offered, which contributed to a more significant public. After about one year of intense extension activities, this work proposed to identify positive points which have contributes to its success, as well as negative points that have hindered their quality. The first part of the dissertation brings a historical approach about several themes, among which the late institution of the university in Brazil, the history of extension in Brazilian universities and the history of UFJF. The second part brought light to the important discussion about the indissociability between teaching, research and extension, its presence in Brazilian universities and, especially, in the extension activities of FAEFID. After conducting interviews and applying questionnaires, the third part of the dissertation analyses the data gathered and presents suggestion about what can be done to improve the quality of the extension activities of such College. In the final considerations, the dissertation presents two expectations: the first, regarding the proposal of realizing a survey aiming at discovering the reasons for the cancellation of the so-called fluctuating public, and the second, the possibility of being a source of research that could contribute to the improvement of the extension activities which are being developed in the higher education institutions in Brazil.

Resumo:O objetivo central desta pesquisa foi mostrar que a transferência de tecnologia, quando conduzida por meio de uma atividade de extensão universitária, apresenta resultados efetivos. Para tanto, foi avaliado os ganhos econômicos obtidos por produtores de cachaça que adotaram a técnica do envelhecimento, técnica esta pesquisada pelo Departamento de Alimentos e Nutrição da Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas da UNESP/Araraquara e disseminada aos produtores de cachaça pelo projeto de "Capacitação de Pequenos Produtores de Cachaça do Estado de São Paulo". Para a condução da pesquisa, além de uma revisão bibliográfica, foi traçado um histórico do projeto e por fim realizada uma pesquisa de campo com os produtores de cachaça participantes do projeto. O estudo constatou ganhos econômicos obtidos quando o envelhecimento do produto é adotado pelos pequenos produtores comprovando, neste caso, a eficiência do processo de transferência de tecnologia conduzido por um projeto de extensão / Abstract: The objective of this research was to show that the transfer of technology, when conducted by a university extension activity, presents effective results.
