Orientador: Mário Augusto Bertella / Banca: Suzana Cristina Fernandes de Paiva / Banca: Cláudia Alessandra Tessari / Resumo: A industrialização foi um processo transformador para as sociedades modernas, alterando as relações sociais e econômicas. Na África do Sul, teve a peculiaridade de ocorrer em conjunto com o regime de apartheid, o que por muitas vezes desviou os estudos acadêmicos para a negligência com os direitos humanos e relações políticas. Diante disto, o objetivo do presente estudo é fazer uma análise das motivações, contexto, condução e resultados da política de substituição de importações sul-africana, amparada na teoria disponível sobre o tema, nos estudos específicos sobre essa experiência de política e, também, em dados secundários. A industrialização da África do Sul apresenta algumas indústrias relacionadas à mineração que são fortificadas com os incentivos do Governo depois da Primeira Guerra Mundial. No pós-guerra, inicia-se uma política de substituição mais elaborada, em conjunto com a criação de estatais, outros incentivos e o apartheid. Apesar do crescimento econômico e o desenvolvimento industrial alcançados na época, o apartheid ao mesmo tempo que forneceu mão de obra barata inicialmente, potencializou as distorções causadas pela política de substituição de importações, além de causar pressão internacional e conflitos internos / Abstract: Industrialization was a transformative process for modern societies, changing social and economic relations. In South Africa, it had the peculiarity of occurring in conjunction with the apartheid regime, which has often diverted academic studies to neglect of human rights and political relations. The objective of the present study is to analyze the motivations, context, conduction and results of the South African import substitution policy, based on the available theory on the subject, in the specific studies on this policy experience, and also in secondary data. South Africa's industrialization features some mining-related industries that are fortified with government incentives after the First World War. In the post-war period, it began a more elaborate policy of substitution, in conjunction with state-building, other incentives and apartheid. Despite the economic growth and the industrial development achieved at the time, apartheid simultaneously provided cheap labor initially and potentialized the distortions caused by the import substitution policy and cause international pressure and internal conflicts / Mestre

Trata-se de um estudo de caso único, no qual foram utilizadas como técnicas de coleta de dados: pesquisa documental, observação não participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores e professores/pesquisadores. Foi realizada análise de conteúdo com auxílio do software Nvivo. Os resultados revelam que a gestão de projetos de pesquisa e inovação na universidade se caracteriza pelo desenvolvimento de pesquisas com recursos próprios, mediante editais internos e aqueles apoiados financeiramente por agências federais e estaduais de fomento. As suas ações correspondem à capacitação e à difusão do conhecimento por meio de publicações dos trabalhos científicos e registro de patentes. No que se refere ao alcance do princípio da eficiência no processo de importação de equipamentos, para o desenvolvimento de pesquisa científica e tecnológica, foram encontrados limites relativos aos entraves nos sistemas administrativos e jurídicos legais, falta de núcleo de apoio à gestão de projetos e insuficiência de recursos financeiros e humanos. Como proposição, apresenta-se a criação de um núcleo de apoio à gestão de projetos de pesquisa para suporte aos pesquisadores e ampliação da captação dos recursos, por meio da diversificação das fontes de financiamentos e das redes de relacionamentos com as fundações de apoio e outras instituições, para atenuar ou elidir as limitações identificadas. / This study aims to analyze management of research and innovation projects in equipment import process to foment and support the research in Vale do São Francisco University, focusing on efficiency principle. This is a single case study, in which were used data collection techniques: documental research, non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews with managers and professors/researchers. Content analysis was performed using NVivo software. The results show that management of research projects and innovation at the university is characterized by research development with its owns resources, through internal notices and those financially supported by federal and state funding agencies. The actions correspond to training and dissemination of knowledge through publications of scientific papers and patent registration. Regarding the scope of efficiency principle in equipment import process for development of scientific and technological research, were found limits in administrative and legal systems, lack of core support for project management and financial and human resource failures. As a proposition, it shows the creation of a core of support for research project management to support researchers and expansion of funding raising, through diversification of sources of funding and relationships with support foundation networks and other institutions to mitigate or circumvent the limitations identified.

Com o aumento significativo da população, e de suas necessidades de água, iniciou à preocupação com uma possível falta do recurso, fomentando ações em face ao uso racional dos recursos hídricos. A melhoria da gestão da água desempenha um papel vital no aumento da produção de alimentos e redução da insegurança alimentar, é neste contexto que surgem os conceitos de água virtual e de pegada hídrica que pretendem, simultaneamente, dar conta de dimensões do uso da água habitualmente ignoradas e comunicar de forma eficaz e objetiva o consumo efetivo necessário para a obtenção de um produto. O objetivo deste trabalho é determinar a pegada hídrica total do consumo nacional, o fluxo de água virtual das principais commodities consumidas pelo brasileiro, bem como os índices de autossuficiência, dependência e escassez de água para as 27 commodities analisadas no estudo, de cada estado da federação e do país. O valor médio da pegada hídrica do brasileiro calculada neste estudo foi de 1619 m³/hab/ano, sendo a carne bovina a commodity com maior contribuição (21%) do total da pegada hídrica do consumo nacional. A região Nordeste é a que possui o maior volume de importação líquida de água virtual para o grupo de commodities agrícola com 2,38 Gm³/ano, apresentando uma importação líquida também para o grupo pecuário. Por outro lado, é a segunda região com maior volume de exportação líquida de água virtual para os produtos industriais com 2,24 Gm³/ano, atrás apenas da região Sudeste. Os índices utilizados na pesquisa indicam que o Brasil não é autossuficiente em todas as commodities analisadas neste estudo, entretanto para os setores agrícola, industrial e pecuário apresentou saldos positivos indicando independência dos recursos hídricos externos. Os resultados ainda indicam que o Brasil é um país exportador de água virtual com um saldo de 54,8 m³/ano, principalmente para o continente europeu que detém 41,28% de toda água virtual exportada do Brasil. / The scarcity of water for human consumption has increased at an alarming rate worldwide. With the significant increase in population, and their water needs, it began to concern about a possible shortage of the resource, promoting actions in the face of rational use of water resources. The improved water management plays a vital role in increasing food production and reducing food insecurity, it is in this context that come the concepts of virtual water and water footprint who want both to use the dimensions of the water bill usually ignored and communicate effectively and objectively the actual consumption required to obtain a product. The objective of this study is to determine the water footprint of national consumption, the virtual water flow of the main commodities consumed by the brazilian people and water scarcity, water self-sufficiency and water dependency indexes for the 27 commodities analyzed in this study, as well as for each state and country. The average brazilian water footprint is 1,619 m³/person/year. The beef cattle commodity had largest contribution (21%) of the total water footprint of national consumption. The Northeast region is the one with the largest volume of net import of virtual water for the group of agricultural commodities with Gm³ 2.38 / year, with a net import also for the livestock group. On the other hand, it is the second region with the highest volume of net export of virtual water for industrial goods with Gm³ 2.24 / year, second only to the Southeast. The indexes used in the survey indicate that Brazil is not self-sufficient in all commodities analyzed in this study, however for the agricultural, industrial and livestock sectors showed positive balances indicating independence of the external water resources. The results also indicate that Brazil is exporter of virtual water with a balance of 54.8 m³/year, mainly for the European continent which respond by 41.28% of the total virtual water exports from Brazil.

International trade in exotic pets is an important and increasing driver of biodiversity loss. The African grey parrot has been noted as one of man's friendliest pets with popularity attributed to its intelligence, cognitive and communicative abilities. Worldwide, the African Grey Parrot is the third most commonly traded wild bird species. The subject of this thesis is an evaluation of international trade in the gray parrot (\kur{Psittacus erithacus}), covered by CITES convention to Appendix II, between European Union and third countries, according CITES Trade Database and EC Annual Report 2004 in 1994-2013. The trade has been divided into export and import, by the two existing subspecies, and within these categories were evaluated main countries of export and import, source and purpose of the trade. It was found, that the trend of import of live specimens to EU during the period 1994-2005 was increasing, although the trend between 2006-2013 was declining. The trend of export of live specimens was slightly increasing for the period 1994-2001 and 2006-2013.

This work comprehensively reviews the international trade in sea horses, particularly the Hippocampus genus, from 1997 to 2012. The genus was added to the Appendices II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (thereinafter as the CITES) in 2002, came into force in 2004. Before the addition, the genus was entered into the appendix D for the non-CITES species whose import is monitored by the EU. The CITES Trade Database kept by the UNEP - WCMC Secretariat was used as the source of data about the trade. The frequency of the trade in sea horses tended to be increasing with a moderate decrease in 2009. The Hippocampus species was traded in the following forms: live, bodies, derivatives, specimens, medicine, carvings, eggs live, extracts, fingerlings, powder, skeletons, skin pieces, soup, trophies and other unspecified forms. The living specimens traded: (1) specimens taken from the wild., (2) animals bred in captivity as well as parts and derivatives, (3) Animals born in captivity (F1 or subsequent generations) that do not fulfil the definition of 'bred in captivity', as well as parts and derivatives thereof, (4) specimens of animals reared in a controlled environment, taken as eggs or juveniles from the wild, where they would otherwise have had a very low probability of surviving to adulthood, (5) confiscated or seized specimens, (6) pre- Convention specimens. The trades purposes were: (1) commercial, (2) personal, (3) scientific, (4) zoo (aquarium) breeding, (5) educational, (6) breeding in captivity, circus and other exhibitions, (7) conventional medicine, (8) law enforcement / judicial / forensic purposes. The most traded genus was unspecified (Hippocampus spp.), then the H. kuda, the H. reidi and the H. erectus as living specimens or dead bodies; also the ones from the wild and for the commercial purposes. Those came mostly from Vietnam, Thailand or Australia. They were exported mainly from Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Australia. The greatest importers were the USA, Germany and the Great Britain.

This thesis is focused on the evaluation of an international trade with species of Crocodylidae family. The main data source was CITES trade database, in which there are registered all the trades with required species. Based on data analysis it was identified the course of commerce with all the commodities between 1993 and 2012. The most frequently marketed species are these four crocodiles: Crocodylus niloticus, porosus, siamensis a novaeguineae. For these species were observed total net import, gross export, the number of trades per year, share of countries participated on import and export, the purpose of the trade and the source of traded commodities. At the rest of the species the less marketed ones summary tables of import and gross export were created. From the analysis was found out that the most of monitored species come from the farm breeding, which are specialised inleather and meat production. The third significant commodity is leather products. From charts can be noticed the growth of leather and skin production for Nile crocodile and of live specimens export for Siamese crocodile. For the next two in detail analysed species there was no production growth noted.
