Trata-se de um estudo de Geografia Regional, que se aproxima da Geografia Histórica, buscando compreender a partir do discurso regional as representações sociais sobre a região e os significados políticos dessas representações. O veículo escolhido para a apreensão do discurso foi o jornal mais antigo da região, ainda editado, que é simultaneamente também um dos sujeitos produtores do discurso regional. O jornal, documento de domínio público, é reconhecido nesta tese como um espaço de diálogo de atores sociais (jornalistas, acadêmicos, empresários, políticos etc.) que enunciam e têm a região como importante base territorial nas relações de poder. No conjunto de discursos apreendidos no jornal e de três obras referenciais sobre a formação da região, identificou-se através das diferentes denominações e imagens regionais, contidas nesses discursos, representações sociais sobre a região. Do Sertão do Vale do Paranapanema à Região de Presidente Prudente, passando pela Alta Sorocabana e 10ª Região Administrativa, percorreu-se sua história centenária identificando duas formas como a região é representada socialmente: a região do devir e a região do atraso. Dessa identificação, levantou-se a hipótese de que o discurso, político em sua essência, significa e ressignifica a região tornando suas fronteiras voláteis e indefinidas, atuando no sentido de ampliá-las, o que demonstra que a região tem grande importância nas relações de poder que se dão em âmbito regional. A região é, portanto, além de um espaço de identidade e convivência, um espaço de conveniência política. / This study is about Presidente Prudente s region in the west of São Paulo State. This region was constituted in the summit of the coffee plantation expansion in São Paulo State in the century XX. Through to Regional Geography study and the Historical Geography it s looking for to understand the regional speech and social representations and the political meanings of them. The local oldest newspaper play a part of the role to building this regional speech then it was chosen to indentify theirs subjects. This thesis uses a newspaper like a recognized public document whose is a space for dialogue between social subjects (journalists, academics, entrepreneurs, political etc.). Those subjects enunciate and consider the region as well as important territorial base in the relationships of power. In the group of speeches studied in this newspaper and others three referencial academic works it was possible to identify differents denominations for regional imaginary means contained in those speeches and social representations. From the of Paranapanema Valley to Presidente Prudente Region, going by Alta Sorocabana and 10th Administrative Region, it was traveled by centennial history identifying two forms socially represented: the region of the devir (to become economically developed) and the region of the delay (to fail economically). The hypothesis building is that a regional speech gives significations and new signifactaions for region that turning their borders volatile and indefinite. The effect of indefined borders is acting in the sense to enlarge the region area influence, what demonstrates that has great power importance in this space. The region is, therefore, the space of social identity and coexistence and the space of political conveniences.

This issue is even more complicated in the Brazilian semi arid, because there is the interference of the climate factors, such as droughts and irregular rain distribution that compromise the water availability. The use of irrigation becomes essential for the individuals to perform agricultural activities in such regions, although those activities are the ones that waste water the most. Irrigation methods that allow the greatest use of this precious liquid should be adopted. With the objective of giving the cropper ways to produce and a life improvement and to generate both local and regional development, arise irrigation programs implanted by the Government through the National Department of Works Against the Drought (DNOCS), such as the Baixo Acaraú Irrigation Perimeter project. However, the execution of those projects need to be evaluated they are a large opportunity cost for society. This current research will analyze the (auto) sustainability of the Baixo Acaraú Irrigation Perimeter, evaluating economical and financial matters, social, environmental, economical and institutional dimensions through a group of sustainability indexes capable of providing an understanding of the reality of the region, in addition to observing the characteristics of this perimeter’s irrigators and their integration towards sustainable development. The methodological procedure adopted started with the gathering of the primary data, which were treated and organized. Hereinafter, were built the levels of sustainability and the individual sustainability indexes for the social, environmental, economical and institutional dimensions.The resulting indexes from this studies are presented and the results indicate that the sustainability in the Baixo Acaraú Irrigation Perimeter can be questioned, once the sustainability index shows a medium or poor degree, which indicates that this activities has not translated itself into better life conditions and development to the local population yet. / Em várias partes do território nacional pode-se perceber a preocupação com a questão da insuficiência de recursos hídricos, que se tornam mais escassos à medida que a população, a indústria e a agricultura se ampliam. No semi-árido brasileiro, a questão é ainda mais delicada, pois há a importante interferência de fatores climáticos, como ocorrência de secas e irregular distribuição de chuvas, que comprometem a disponibilidade de água. A utilização da irrigação torna-se essencial para que os indivíduos possam exercer atividades agrícolas em regiões como esta, embora seja a atividade que mais desperdice água. É necessário que se utilizem métodos de irrigação que permitam o maior aproveitamento desse precioso líquido. Com o objetivo de possibilitar ao agricultor meios para produzir, de promover a melhoria de vida do produtor rural e de gerar desenvolvimento local e regional, surgem os programas de irrigação implantados pelo Governo através do Departamento Nacional de Obras Contra as Secas (DNOCS), como o projeto do Perímetro Irrigado Baixo Acaraú. No entanto, o desempenho destes projetos precisa ser avaliado, já que se constituem num custo de oportunidade muito grande para a sociedade. Desta forma, conduziu-se este trabalho, com o objetivo de analisar a (auto) sustentabilidade do Perímetro Irrigado Baixo Acaraú, avaliando questões econômico-financeiras, as dimensões social, ambiental, econômica e institucional, por meio de um conjunto de índices de sustentabilidade capazes de possibilitar o entendimento da realidade da região, além de observar as características dos irrigantes deste perímetro e sua integração rumo ao desenvolvimento sustentável. O procedimento metodológico adotado iniciou-se com a coleta dos dados primários, que foram tratados e organizados. A seguir, foram construídos o índice de sustentabilidade e os índices individuais de sustentabilidade para as dimensões social, ambiental, econômica e institucional. Os índices resultantes deste estudo são apresentados e os resultados indicam que a sustentabilidade no Perímetro Irrigado Baixo Acaraú pode ser questionada, uma vez que o índice de sustentabilidade apresenta grau médio e os índices individuais para as dimensões apresentam índices de sustentabilidade de grau médio ou ruim, o que sinaliza que esta atividade ainda não se traduziu em melhores condições vida e desenvolvimento para a população local.

We maintain a reflection on teaching opportunities to consider the construction of new discursive practices around discipline history from the perspective of interdiscursivity. The construction of research tried a characterization of discourse studies, especially the French Discourse Analysis, with theoretical anchorage Orlandi (2002/ 2007), Pêcheux (1977/1999), Maingueneau (2014), Brandão (2003), Ferreira, (2015), Maldidier (1994), Silva (2003), Gregolin (2004), Althier-Revuz (1982/1990), among others. Further, for an analytical description of the discourse of history as a science and development are consulted authors such as Le Goff (1997), Tétart (2000), Bloch (2001), Nadai (1993), Schmidt (2012), Bittencourt (2011) , Abud (2011); making himself still essential to understand the proposals and didactic guidelines brought in textbooks textbooks: Know and Do History and History: Society & citizenship; History in the National Curriculum Parameters (PCN) and the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) school. Then the speeches are presented socially crystallized on the History docks in authors such as Fonseca (1997), Oriya (2006), Albuquerque (2007), Bittencour (2004) Beloved (1990), Zamboni (1991) and Neves (2002 ), demonstrating the importance of history teaching in elementary school, as well as the use of local and regional history as enablers in the process of teaching and learning. From these considerations, a semi-structured interview questionnaire was designed and applied to teachers and students of the 6th year, the PFIC I school - Ducks / PB and from then on we created a proposal for intervention, via guiding text, in order to bring a discursive reframing the discipline of teaching with the use of local and regional history. / Este trabalho apresenta propostas no sentido de tentar contribuir com o processo de ensino e aprendizagem dos educandos do 6° ano do Ensino Fundamental II. Mantemos uma reflexão sobre possibilidades de ensino que ponderem a construção de novas práticas discursivas em torno da disciplina História na perspectiva da interdiscursividade. Na construção da pesquisa tentamos uma caracterização dos estudos do discurso, especialmente da Análise de Discurso Francesa, com ancoragem teórica Orlandi (2002/ 2007), Pêcheux (1977/1999), Maingueneau (2014), Brandão (2003), Ferreira, (2015), Maldidier (1994), Silva (2003), Gregolin (2004), Althier-Revuz (1982/1990), dentre outros. Na sequência, para uma descrição analítica do discurso da História, enquanto ciência e desenvolvimento são consultados autores como Le Goff (1997), Tétart (2000), Bloch (2001), Nadai (1993), Schmidt (2012), Bittencourt (2011), Abud (2011); fazendo-se ainda essencial a compreensão das propostas e orientações didáticas trazidas nos manuais dos livros didáticos: Saber e fazer História e História: sociedade & cidadania; nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais de História (PCN) e no Projeto Político Pedagógico (PPP) da escola. Em seguida, são apresentados os discursos socialmente cristalizados sobre a História com ancoragem em autores como Fonseca (1997), Oriá (2006), Albuquerque (2007), Bittencour (2004), Amado (1990), Zamboni (1991) e Neves (2002), demonstrando a importância do ensino de História no Ensino Fundamental, assim como o uso da História local e regional como elementos facilitadores no processo de ensino e aprendizagem. A partir dessas considerações, um questionário de entrevista semiestruturada foi pensado e aplicado com educadores e educandos do 6° ano, da escola CIEP I – Patos/PB e, a partir de então, foi elaborada uma proposta de intervenção, via texto norteador, com objetivo de trazer uma ressignificação discursiva ao ensino da disciplina com o uso da História local e regional.

Notre recherche porte, pour l’essentiel, sur les entreprises familiales de taille intermédiaire (E.T.I.), du territoire breton. Dans le cadre de la sociologie des Professions nous avons rencontré plusieurs dirigeants d’entreprises, comprenant entre 250 à 5 000 salariés. Nous avons observé, ainsi, ce qui permet à ce concept dit d’« entreprise », à l’instar des « Mittelstand » en Allemagne, de mieux comprendre les facteurs clés de succès, fondés, notamment, sur la priorité absolue donnée au capital humain, à l’innovation, et au développement à l’international, et ce, tout en conservant un très fort ancrage « territorial ». Ainsi, nous avons interrogé des dirigeants, sur le territoire de la Bretagne historique comme « laboratoire social », pour mieux cerner le profil sociologique du chef d’entreprise familial dans les secteurs suivants : agro-alimentaire, restauration, santé, immobilier, textile, chaussure et transport. A partir de problématiques socio-économiques mais aussi sociologiques touchant le monde du travail et de l’emploi, il s’agissait aussi, d’appréhender la compétition mondiale, en particulier, dans le champ du travail : notre thèse poursuit, en fait, l’objectif d’éclairer un certain nombre de métamorphoses en rappelant, comme l’ont déjà dit de nombreux sociologues du travail, de l’organisation et des professions, que « le chômage est la cause causante de l’exclusion sociale / Our research is devoted mainly to family-owned medium-sized enterprises (MSEs) in Brittany. Working from the perspective of the sociology of professions, we met several heads of companies with between 250 and 5,000 employees. In doing so, we observed how this so-called “enterprise” concept, similar to that of “Mittelstands” in Germany, offers a better understanding of the key factors of success, based notably on human capital, innovation, and international growth beingabsolute priorities, with the business also retaining strong local roots. We interviewed company heads in the historical territory of Brittany, taken as a “social laboratory”, to acquire a better grasp of the sociological profile of family business leaders working in the following sectors: the food industry; food services; health; real estate; textiles; footwear; and transport. Taking as a starting-point various social, economic, and sociological issues affecting the world of work and employment, we also sought to shed light on global competition, in particular in the field of labour: this thesis aims to provide insights into a certain number of transformations, bearing in mind the assertion by a great many occupational sociologists that “unemployment is the root cause of social exclusion”

This study investigates the prevalence of peri-operative anxiety and the effective management of intra-operative anxiety during awake surgery. Plastic and vascular surgical patients were selected for the study as many procedures performed within these specialities are performed under local or regional anaesthesia. The study consists of two distinct stages. The first stage was a postal survey of patients (n=213) who had undergone awake plastic, renal access or carotid surgery up to two weeks previously, in order to determine retrospectively the prevalence of peri-operative anxiety. The second stage of the study was a randomised controlled trial of interventions for the effective management of intra-operative anxiety in patients (n=128) having undergone the same surgical procedures described in stage one. The interventions tested in stage two were handholding and an anxiety management package involving a relaxation technique and a procedural information leaflet, against a 'usual care' control. The findings from stage one of the study suggest that peri-operative anxiety prevalence is low, although unacceptable levels of anxiety are seen to elevate during the intra-operative phase. The RCT in stage two demonstrated that intra-operative anxiety was no more effectively managed by the interventions tested than by usual care alone. The validity and reliability of retrospective anxiety measurement was investigated by comparing anxiety scores from stage one with contemporaneous and post-hoc anxiety scores from stage two and found to be an accurate measure of anxiety experienced at the time of the event.

Nesse sentido, esse trabalho é de extrema relevância, uma vez que possibilita o conhecimento mais amplo da diversidade dos Trabalhos de Conclusão do Curso de História de Pires do Rio, além de ampliar a produção historiográfica regional.

Deteriorating air quality is one of the major problems faced worldwide and in particular in Asia. The world's most polluted megacities are located in Asia highlighting the urgent need for efforts to improve the air quality. New Delhi (India), one of the world's most polluted cities, was the host of the Common Wealth Games during the period of 4-14 October 2010. This high profile event provided a good opportunity to accelerate efforts to improve air quality. Computational advances now allow air quality forecast models to fully couple the meteorology with chemical constituents within a unified modeling system that allows two-way interactions. The WRF-Chem model is used to simulate air quality in New Delhi. The thesis focuses on evaluating air quality and meteorology feedbacks. Four nested domains ranging from South Asia, Northern India, NCR Delhi and Delhi city at 45km, 15km, 5km and 1.67km resolution for a period of 20day (26thsep-15thoct, 2010) are used in the study. The predicted mean surface concentrations of various pollutants show similar spatial distributions with peak values in the middle of the domain reflecting the traffic and population patterns in the city. Along with these activities, construction dust and industrial emissions contribute to high levels of criteria pollutants. The study evaluates the WRF-Chem capabilities using a new emission inventory developed over Delhi at a fine resolution of 1.67km and evaluating the results with observational data from 11 monitoring sties placed at various Game venues. The contribution of emission sectors including transportation, power, industry, and domestic to pollutant concentrations at targeted regions are studied and the results show that transportation and domestic sector are the major contributors to the pollution levels in Delhi, followed by industry. Apart from these sectors, emissions outside of Delhi contribute 20-50% to surface concentrations depending on the species. This indicates that pollution control efforts should take a regional perspective. Air quality projections in Delhi for 2030 are investigated. The Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies (GAINS) model is used to generate a 2030 future emission scenario for Delhi using projections of air quality control measures and energy demands. Net reductions in CO concentrations by 50%, and increases of 140% and 40% in BC and NOx concentrations, respectively, are predicted. The net changes in concentration are associated with increases in transport and industry sectors. The domestic sector still has a significant contribution to air pollutant levels. The air quality levels show a profound effect under this scenario on the environment and human health. The increase in pollution from 2010 to 2030 is predicted to cause an increase in surface temperature by ~0.65K. These increasing pollution levels also show effects on the radiative forcing. The high aerosols loading i.e. BC, PM2.5 and PM10 levels show strong influence on the short and longwave fluxes causing strong surface dimming and strong atmosphere heating due to BC. These results indicate transport and domestic sectors should be targeted for air quality and climate mitigations.
