Thesis (M.Diploma in Electrical Engineering)--Cape Technikon, 1992 / This thesis describes how an adaptor board was developed to enable serial devices, such as modems and serial printers operating on RS-232 signals, to be used in conjunction with the MINITEL terminal. Furthermore it enables parallel Centronix interfaces to be Used in conjunction with the MINITEL terminal. The revolutionary 87C751 microprocessor was fully researched, and implemented in the project. Two marketable products emerged during the course of the project: • 1. The 8031-processor solution 2. The 87C751-processor solution

A reorganização econômica, caracterizada pelo processo de globalização, provocou alterações nas estruturas produtivas da economia brasileira e, conseqüentemente, mudanças no mercado de trabalho. Essas mudanças refletiram-se nas características setoriais de emprego, trazendo uma grande preocupação quanto às relações de trabalho e à crescente taxa de desemprego. A reorientação do modelo de desenvolvimento, que transitava de proteção ao setor industrial para uma economia aberta e a consolidação da moeda, a partir de 1990, originou profundas mudanças no mercado de trabalho brasileiro. Os postos de trabalho dos setores primário e secundário foram reduzidos, enquanto que, no setor terciário, houve aumento dos empregos, mas não suficiente para absorver todos os trabalhadores liberados dos demais setores. A participação dos trabalhadores no mercado informal no ano de 2003 representava cerca de 52%. Dessa forma, a questão de empregos no Brasil nos últimos anos tem se tornado cada vez mais discutida e questionada quanto à capacidade de gerar novos empregos e qual a qualidade desses empregos. O trabalho pretende discutir as características e evolução do pessoal ocupado procurando analisar a relação setorial entre os empregos formais e informais, a partir de 1990, sob a ótica do modelo Insumo-Produto. Os principais resultados apontam que houve uma redução da capacidade de gerar empregos para cada um milhão de reais da produção. Os dados mostram que apesar da proporção de trabalhadores informais na economia ser superior aos trabalhadores na formalidade, o setor formal foi o responsável por cerca de 60% dos empregos gerados no período estudado. / The reorganization of the Brazilian economy, in the globalization process, has brought out changes in its productive structure, and, consequently, changes in the job market. These changes had impact on the employment at the sectoral level, with great concerns related to the labor relations and to the growing unemployment rates. In the 1990s, the change in the focus of the development strategy, from a closed protected economy to an open economy with monetary control, has originated deep changes in the labor market. The number of employed persons in the primary and secondary sector was reduced, while in the tertiary sector there was an increase in the number of jobs, but not enough to absorb all the employees released from the previous two sectors. The share of informal jobs in the Brazilian economy was around 52% in 2003. In this way, the question of employment generated by the economic sectors, in number and quality, has become a crucial issue. The goal of this work is to study the characteristics and the evolution of the occupied persons, and to relate it with the formal and informal job market, as well as the economy productive structure, using for that input-output matrices constructed for the Brazilian economy. The main results show that there was a reduction in the capacity of the economy to generate employment for every million of Reais produced in a given sector. The data also shows that despite the ratio of informal workers in the economy being superior to the workers in the formality, the formal sector was responsible for about 60% of the jobs generated in the period of analysis.

Measuring progress towards sustainable development requires appropriate frameworks and databases. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA) is undergoing continuous refinement with these objectives in mind. In SEEA, there is a need for databases to encompass the global dimension of societal metabolism. In this paper, we focus on the latest effort to construct a global multi-regional input-output database (EXIOBASE) with a focus on environmentally relevant activities. The database and its broader analytical framework allows for the as yet most detailed insight into the production-related impacts and "footprints" of our consumption. We explore the methods used to arrive at the database, and some key relationships extracted from the database.

This paper is divided into four distinct sections. 1. An explanation of the meaning of input/output analysis, especially the derivation and significance of the table of direct and indirect requirements. 2. An outline of the decisions taken in constructing the West Malaysian 1960 transactions table from a set of National Accounts - especially the treatment and valuation of imports and exports; producer versus purchaser price valuation of transactions; and problems of inconsistent and incomplete double entry records. 3. An explanation of the method of forecasting from input/ output tables. This includes discussion of: a. A method of estimating aggregate demand for Malaya for 1970. b. A method of projection of value added for each sector, 1970. c. The likely stability of the input coefficients over time. 4. Results; a. Differences between the 1960 and 1965 table projections due to changes in Leontief inverses and value added coefficients over time, as the economy undergoes change. b. Comparison of the table projections with the First Malaysia Plan projections: i. Are the Plan projections likely to be reached in 1970? ii. Why are some of the table projections so inaccurate? The paper concludes that 1. The projections from the 1965 input/ output table are generally superior to those from the 1960 table. 2. Under conditions of structural change, even 5 years is too far ahead to expect input/output analysis to yield accurate projections for most sectors. / Arts, Faculty of / Vancouver School of Economics / Graduate

The South is one of the leading timber producing regions in the world. Monitoring economic contribution of the forest products industry in the South over time is thus crucial in addressing critical economic issues and in understanding important industry trends. This study reports the economic impacts for the four forest-based industry (forestry, lumber and wood products, paper and allied products, and wood furniture) for 13 southern states, individually as well as regionally, and compares to 2001, the last comprehensive study of the industry in the South. During the study period, the industry’s employment decreased by 33.35% and earnings in real terms decreased by 18.44%. However, value of shipments and manufacturing valueded for the industry in real terms increased by 59.21% and 68.22% respectively. Therefore, despite of disproportionate impacts of the current recession and decline in housing starts, the industry still is an important component of the South’s economy.
