As television viewers we are used to watching television as a flow of programs with varying content, and usually do not think about how the programs are created. Who decides what should be produced and what the programs should contain? What role do the TV producers play? Who are the producers? Have their working conditions changed due to changes in society? The aim of this study was to answer questions about the TV producer’s background and career, and about how ideas for TV productions developed into actual TV programs. The study resulted in more than 90 “cases” or descriptions in drama and journalism. The respondents were asked about the role that different levels of management, economic resources, technical equipment, audience ratings played in the production of television programs. They were also asked how they evaluated professionalism and competition and what changes had occurred during the periods of the study, 1992-1999 and 2006-07. The TV producers who were interviewed belonged to different “generations” and had  entered  the television industry on  different occasions, such as at the launch  of  television channels  (the first TV channel, TV2, TV4) or  new ventures like regional television or minority language programs. The drama producers often executed the ideas that had been decided on by higher management, even though some drama authors who participated in this study had great power over the story lines and content. The journalist producer’s independence and power over the content were greater than the drama producer’s, since they wrote their own “scripts” during the production of programs. In light of many “cases” of programs described it can be suggested that journalist producers’ choice of program ideas were  parallel and complementary or alternative institutional processes, that preceded, followed or coexisted with reports, investigations, trials etc.   One of the most obvious changes during the period studied from 1992 to 2007 was the change in overall technology from analog techniques to digital. Internet, intranets, e-mail and cell phones had made “the mobile office” a reality and the analog techniques in cameras and editing in TV production became digital during the period.

This research seeks to contribute towards the understanding of economic linkage within the rural context by exploring the relationship between rurally located small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their purchase of producer (business) services. In addition, the work considers other inter-rural and intra-rural differences, in both firm (SME) behaviour and firm characteristics. Whilst the subject of linkages has been explored by other researchers, the market town and SME focus of this thesis provides a more spatially contained framework than is often encountered within this type of research. By using four towns of similar size and structure contained within two noticeably different counties, the work is able to explore difference within the rural setting. Given its emphasis on market towns, rural areas, SMEs, the service sector and indigenous growth potential, the work contributes to current debates in both academia and in national and European government policy. The underlying hypothesis is that integration, in terms of local spending on producer services, is a function of a firm's characteristics. In order to test this hypothesis, data was collected from four rural towns, and a logistic regression model was constructed using variables that described both firms' characteristics and proportion of spend on services in their resident town. The model was then tested using data collected firom a further two towns. This thesis shows that there is a relationship between a firm's characteristics and the location of the firm's producer service spending, enhancing our understanding of firms operating within the rural context. Key characteristic variables that are shown to have a relationship with producer service spend location are: firm Standard Industrial Classification (SIC), size (in terms of total sales, total number of hours worked by all staff), total spend on producer services by firm and distance that the current location is from the firm's previous location. Given the changing role and nature of rural firms, this research provides timely information concerning the relationship between firms and service providers.

This thesis examines the learning dynamics underpinning the resurgence of Canada's office furniture manufacturing sector, which underwent dramatic growth following its near collapse in the wake of the North American trade liberalization beginning in the late 1980s. It investigates the role that design and quality have played in prompting a move up-market and enhancing the sector's competitiveness. It also focuses on other leaning processes that drive economic growth, looking at attempts to transfer workplace practices from Continental Europe to Canada, as well as the institutional obstacles that shape and constrain these processes. Finally, it examines how furniture firms learn from their customers, and the key role played by market intermediaries such as sales agents, dealers, interior designers, and architects in linking producers with consumers as well as influencing the final furniture product. The learned behaviour hypothesis that is central to this thesis suggests that globally competitive firms operating in a Canadian institutional context prosper by learning how to produce (i.e. industrial practices and processes) and what to produce (i.e. design-intensive, high quality products) from the above sources that are both internal and external to the manufacturing firm. The scope of research considers the social and organizational practices through which manufacturing knowledge is integrated into innovation processes, as well as their dynamics, spatiality and temporality, the institutional forces that shape the skills, training, tenure and design dimensions of a high performance workplace, and the mechanisms and conditions that mediate the transfer of manufacturing knowledge at a distance. The empirical analysis entails a mixed-methods approach including a survey questionnaire and in-depth interviews with industry experts. The analysis contributes to core debates in economic geography and the social sciences concerning the role of proximity and distance in innovative production, and the structure / agency debate. In summary, it finds that economic growth in the office furniture sector in Canada is dependent upon not only local knowledge networks and flows but also global sources of innovation and competitive advantage. It also advances an agency-centered institutionalist economic geography by showing that institutions interact in complex ways with the decision-making of economic actors to shape local labour dynamics and the behaviour of firms.

A tomada de decisão caracteriza-se como ponto básico da atividade administrativa e de gestão de toda e qualquer organização, uma vez que esta atividade acontece todo o tempo, em todos os níveis e influencia diretamente o desempenho das organizações. No ambiente dos agronegócios o panorama observado não parece ser diferente. A gestão dos agentes inseridos em cadeias produtivas que tenham por base commodities agrícolas envolve uma série de decisões específicas a este segmento, o que decorre de uma crescente complexidade de elementos envolvidos nessas atividades. Neste contexto, verifica-se no agronegócio brasileiro representativos aumentos de produção e produtividade nas lavouras dos grãos produzidos no país, especialmente a soja, principal item na pauta de exportações deste segmento da economia. Entretanto, somente ganhos de produtividade nas lavouras não garantem competitividade no mercado, pelo contrário, estes necessitam ser acompanhados por melhorias em infra-estrutura e logística que dêem suporte à comercialização de safras cada vez maiores. Considerando-se que existe um déficit na capacidade estática de armazenamento de grãos no Brasil, aliado a baixa margem de rentabilidade auferida pelos produtores de commodities agrícolas, notadamente a soja, bem como o fato de que a armazenagem em nível de propriedade rural pode vir a se constituir em um diferencial positivo ao produtor no momento da comercialização desta oleaginosa, buscou-se responder ao seguinte questionamento: quais são os fatores influentes e como se dá o processo de tomada de decisão do produtor rural, no que tange à instalação de uma estrutura para a armazenagem de soja em sua propriedade? Diante dessa problemática, propôs-se para a presente pesquisa o objetivo de identificar e caracterizar os fatores influentes, bem como o processo decisório do produtor rural, em relação à instalação de estrutura para armazenagem de soja em nível de propriedade. Para o atingimento desse objetivo, elaborou-se uma estrutura analítica a partir dos pressupostos de Teoria da Decisão e das Especificidades na Produção e Comercialização de Produtos Agroalimentares, da qual originou-se o instrumento de pesquisa, composto por questões abertas e fechadas. Foram entrevistados dois grupos de produtores rurais da região de Santo Ângelo/RS, sendo 08 produtores cujas propriedades possuem estrutura para armazenagem de soja (grupo A) e 08 produtores com escalas de produção semelhantes, cujas propriedades não possuem tal estrutura (grupo B). A análise qualitativa dos dados permitiu identificar que existem diferenças entre os grupos A e B, relacionadas às estruturas de exploração agropecuária, características socio-econômicas e de experiência decisória, nível e fontes de informação, estilos decisórios e orientação de valores. Em relação ao processo decisório dos produtores do grupo A, identificou-se certa fragilidade na fase da concepção ou desenho, sendo que a maioria dos cálculos e análises de resultado do referido investimento são transferidas desta fase para a fase do monitoramento, o que pode vir a acarretar em prejuízos pelo fato de a escolha ser realizada a partir de uma análise superficial de todas as informações disponíveis / The decision making is characterized as basic point of the administrative activity and of administration of all and any organization, once this activity happens the whole time, in all levels and it influences the results of the organizations directly. In the agribusiness sector the observed context doesn't seem to be different. The agents' administration inserted in productive chains that have for agricultural commodities as basis involves a series of specific decisions to this segment, what elapses of a growing complexity of elements involved in those activities. In this context, it´s verified in the brazilian agribusiness representative production increases and productivity in the harvests of the grains produced at the country, especially the soybean, main item in the line of exports. However, only productivity gains in the farmings don't guarantee competitiveness in the market, on the contrary, these need to be accompanied by improvements in infrastructure and logistics that give support to the commercialization of harvests every time larger. With regard that exists a deficit in the static starage capacity of grains in Brazil, ally the low profitability margin gained by the agricultural commodities producers, especially the soybean, as well as the fact that the storage in level of rural property the can come if it constitutes in a differential one positive to the producer in the moment of the commercialization of this oleaginous one, it was looked for to answer to the question: which are the influential factors and as it feels the process of the rural producer decision-making, with respect to the installation of a structure for the soybean storage in your property? Given this issue, the aim of the present study is to identify and analyze the influential factors, as well as the rural producer decision-making process, in relation to the structure installation for soybean storage in property level. The analytical structure of the study was built from the assumptions of the Decision Theory and the Specificities in the Production and Commercialization of Agri-food Products, of which built the research instrument, composed by open and closed questions. Interviews were carried out with two groups of rural producers of Santo Ângelo/RS: 08 producers whose have soybean storage structure (group A) and 08 producers with scales of similar production, whose haven't such structure (group B). The qualitative analysis allowed to identify that differences exist among at the groups A and B, related to the structures of agricultural exploration, socioeconomic characteristics, decision-making experience, level and information sources, decisionmaking styles and the values orientation. With regat to the decision-making process of the group A producers, identified certain fragility in the the conception or drawing phase, and most of the calculations and analyses of result of the referred investment are transferred of this phase for the monitory phase, what can come to unprofitability for the fact of the choice to be accomplished from a superficial analysis of all available information.

This research was developed with the purpose of analyzing areas of land use legal incompatibility in watershed from Manoel Alves Stream, aiming to increase water production, according to what is prescribed in Municipal Director Plan, which among others determinations, seeks the implantation of public politics for sustainability. To reach this purpose, firstly, it was elaborated the land use map through images from LANDSAT 5 satellite, 3, 4 and 5 bands, of October 20th, 2009, where were identified five categories: water; mining area; building area; cultures; vegetation. After, from the established in Environmental Law, it was elaborated the map of permanent preservation areas, from the images of LANDSAT 5 satellite and from the topographies of Camobi NW and SW and Santa Maria NE and SE, of scale 1:25.000. In the identification of areas of land use legal incompatibility, it was carried out a combination between information plans map of used land and the permanent preservation areas, where it was ascertained that 28,82% from the total of permanent preservation areas of the watershed has being occupied by dwellings, by cultures and by mining exploitation. Through the analyses of the map of land use legal incompatibility, it was perceived that part of them is located in rural areas. Therefore, it was pointed out policies for recuperation of areas in incompatibility of use, based on what ANA establishes, that considers the farmer as a water producer. In Water Producer Program, the watershed is seen as water producer, and the ones that maintain it are the producers, for depends on the use that be made in the surroundings of the springs, it can collaborate to the availability of water resources with quality or without. In order to improve the water production, ANA proposes the adoption of preservation practices supported by three pillars: riparian vegetation conservation and recuperation, soil conservation practices and implementation of environmental sanitation in the property. This research is justified by the need pointed in Municipal Director Plan that deals with Environmental Municipal Politics, and that, among other points, predicts the organization of Special Areas of Environmental Interest (AEIA) and incentives the organization of Private Reserves of Natural Heritage (RPNN), besides the elaboration of a Municipal Environmental Plan. This Plan will embrace the protected areas mapping, according to the law, and incentive ways offered by the local authority for environmental preserve and recuperation actions. / Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo principal de analisar as áreas de incompatibilidade legal de uso da terra na Bacia Hidrográfica do Arroio Manoel Alves, visando o aumento da produção de água, atendendo o que está previsto no Plano Diretor Municipal, que dentre outras determinações, busca a implantação de políticas públicas para a sustentabilidade. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, primeiramente, elaborou-se o mapa de uso da terra a partir das imagens de satélite LANDSAT 5, bandas 3, 4 e 5, de 20 de outubro de 2009, onde houve a identificação de cinco classes: água; área de mineração; áreas construídas; culturas; e vegetação. Após, a partir do estabelecido na Legislação Ambiental, elaborou-se o mapa das áreas de preservação permanente, a partir das imagens de satélite LANDSAT 5 e das cartas topográficas de Camobi NO e SO e Santa Maria NE e SE, de escala 1:25.000. Na identificação das áreas de incompatibilidade legal de uso da terra, foi realizada uma combinação dos planos de informação do mapa de uso da terra e das áreas de preservação permanente, onde se pode verificar que 28,82% do total das áreas de preservação permanente da bacia hidrográfica estão sendo ocupadas por moradias, por culturas e pela exploração mineral. A partir da análise do mapa de incompatibilidade legal de uso da terra, observou-se que grande parte delas se localiza em áreas rurais. Em virtude disso, foram apontadas diretrizes para a recuperação das áreas em incompatibilidade de uso, baseado no que estabelece a ANA que considera o produtor rural com um produtor de água. No Programa Produtor de Água, a bacia hidrográfica é vista como produtora de água, e os que a mantêm conservada são produtores, pois dependendo do uso que for feito no entorno dos mananciais, pode colaborar para que haja disponibilidade de recursos hídricos e de qualidade ou não. Para aumentar a produção de água, a ANA propõe a adoção de práticas preservacionistas sustentadas sobre três pilares: a conservação e recuperação da vegetação ciliar, práticas conservacionistas do solo e a implantação do saneamento ambiental na propriedade. Essa pesquisa justifica-se pela necessidade apontada no Plano Diretor Municipal, que trata da Política Municipal de Meio Ambiente, e que, em dentre outros pontos prevê a instituição de Áreas Especiais de Interesse Ambiental (AEIA) e incentivo à instituição de Reservas Particulares de Patrimônio Natural (RPNN), além da elaboração de um Plano Ambiental do Município. Este plano contemplará o mapeamento das áreas protegidas, conforme a legislação, e formas de incentivo oferecidas pelo Município para ações de preservação e recuperação ambiental.

O município foi escolhido por ser um dos mais pobres do país e onde foi implantado o projeto piloto do programa Fome Zero, pelo atual Governo Federal, no seu início. A abordagem metodológica foi interdisciplinar e quali - quantitativa, buscando demonstrar relações de processos sócio-técnico a partir de convergências e divergências das experiências vividas pelos sujeitos envolvidos no centro desses processos. Foram realizados levantamentos de dados através de pesquisas bibliográficas, análise de estatísticas oficiais, consulta a páginas na internet, análise de documentos e fotografias. Para a produção científica foram realizadas entrevistas, como fonte primária de dados estruturadas em questionários, com questões abertas e fechadas, e a amostra foi não probabilística; Realizou-se uma oficina com a utilização do mapa do território em foco para compreender a apreensão pelos agricultores da noção de território; examinou-se a participação dos produtores em reuniões e oficinas realizadas pela equipe e analisou-se documentos bibliográficos. Tudo isto nos leva a concluir, pela identificação de Acauã como Território. O principal ponto da dissertação é o desenvolvimento territorial do referido município através da difusão de tecnologias como intervenção institucional. Foram analisados dois eixos estratégicos da ação institucional: um político e outro técnico. Discutimos como a integração entre os dois eixos contribuíram para o desenvolvimento territorial sustentável e como o processo social de produção em Acauã, que inclui o saber popular, foi contemplado nas ações institucionais. / This work was developed in the scope of the Masters in Territorial Planning and Social Development of the by referring empirical UCSal in Acauã in the state of the Piauí, in the period of 2005 to 2007. The city was chosen by being one of poorest of the country and where the pilot project was implanted of the program Hunger Zero, for the current Federal Government, in its beginning. The metodologic boarding was to interdisciplinar and quali - quantitative, searching to demonstrate to relations of processes partner-technician from convergences and divergences of the experiences lived for the involved citizens in the center of these processes. Data-collectings through bibliographical research had been carried through, analysis of official statisticians, consult the pages in the Internet, document analysis and photographs. For the scientific production interviews had been made, as primary source of data structuralized in questionnaires, with open and closed questions, being that the sample was random simple; A workshop with the use of the map of the territory in focus, was becoming fullfilled to understand the apprehension for the agriculturists of the territory notion; it was examined participation of the producers in meetings and workshops carried through for the team and also was analyzed bibliographical documents. Everything this in takes them, to conclude, for the identification of Acauã as Territory. The main point of the dissertation is the territorial development of the related city through the diffusion of technologies as institucional intervention. Two strategical axles of the institucional action had been analyzed: one politician and another one technician. We argue as the integration between the two axles had contributed for the sustainable territorial development and as the social process of production in Acauã, that includes the popular wisdom, was contemplated in the institucional actions.

Orientador: Cyntia Graziella Guizelim Simões Girotto / Banca: Renata Junqueira de Souza / Banca: Stela Miller / Resumo: A presente pesquisa teórica e prática, tendo como sujeitos crianças de uma quarta série do ensino fundamental da rede municipal de ensino do interior paulista, objetivou estudar a influência do entorno, aí inclusa a organização das ações pedagógicas, no desenvolvimento humano, com ênfase na análise das capacidades discursivas na infância. Apresenta uma discussão sobre a necessidade de se repensarem os elementos que compõem as atividades pedagógicas, identificando os processos centrais da sua organização. A hipótese é a de que as relações ocorridas em situações pedagógicas, organizadas intencionalmente, podem ser propulsoras de aprendizagens humanizadoras. São consideradas, nesse sentido, a atividade da criança e sua capacidade de aprendizado; a escola como espaço de vivências, de escolhas, de mediações; e a ação do professor mediador como criador de elos mediadores para a apropriação da linguagem escrita. Com o intuito de que as discussões recorressem a suportes teóricos que coadunassem entre si, a Teoria histórico-cultural foi eleita como o sustentáculo para as demais proposições que tratam da sala de aula como espaço mediador de ensino e de aprendizagem colaborativos (via metodologia de projetos) e a garantia para a coparticipação do sujeito aprendiz em sua própria formação como leitor e produtor de texto. A aplicação das técnicas da pesquisa-ação, por sua vez, respaldou-se no enfoque materialista-histórico-dialético, fundamento filosófico da Teoria histórico-cultural. Assim, a análise dos dados coletados coerentemente com a teoria eleita e norteada por seus conceitos gerou considerações acerca do ensino e da aprendizagem mediada pela linguagem escrita em contextos significativos e as contribuições destes instrumentos mediadores ao desenvolvimento humano.

It presents a discussion about the need to rethink the elements of the educational activities, identifying the central part processes of their organization. The hypothesis is that the relation occurred in organized intentionally pedagogical situations may be drivers of humanizing learning. About this respect, the child‟s activity and its learning ability; the school as a mediation, choice and experience place; and the mediator teacher‟s action as a creator of mediator links to the written language appropriation are considered. In order that, the discussions appeal to theoretical supporters which adequate among them, the cultural-historical Theory was chosen as the cornerstone for all other proposals that deal with the classroom as mediator teaching and collaborative learning space (via project methodology ) and the guarantee for the schoolchild‟s co-participation in his own formation as a reader and producer‟s text. The techniques application of action research, in turn, was supported on the historical materialist dialectical focus, the historical cultural theory philosophical foundation. Thus, the analysis of collected data in a consistent way with the chosen theory and guided by its concepts generated some discussion concerning to the teaching and learning mediated by the written language in meaningful contexts and the contributions of these mediator instruments to the human development. In conclusion of this study, we can say that having the man as a parameter so that the educational task provides ...(Complete abstract click electronic address below) / Mestre

Para o estudo de caso foi escolhido o município de Assis/SP, onde duas microbacias foram contempladas pelo programa: a água do Pavão/Matão e Adjacências e a água das Antas/Pinheiro/Divisa. Considerada a principal política pública estadual para o fomento do pequeno produtor rural, com área de até 50 hectares e com 70% da renda provenientes das atividades agropecuárias, o PEMH, iniciado em 2000, oferece uma série de benefícios individuais (calcário, adubação verde, mudas), e coletivos (poços semi-artesianos, fossa séptica, maquinário) para esse produtor manejar adequadamente o solo e a água em sua propriedade. A descentralização das ações, a participação da sociedade civil na sua operacionalização, o fortalecimento das organizações rurais e a incorporação da dimensão ambiental nos seus componentes foram as características inovadoras desse programa. Foram adotados os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos: análise dos manuais operacionais do PEMH, entrevistas com técnicos agrícolas, engenheiros agrônomos e presidentes de associações de produtores rurais, coleta dos resultados do programa no site da CATI e pesquisa de campo com os proprietários rurais das duas microbacias selecionadas no município de Assis. Em trabalho de campo, podemos avaliar que mais de 70% dos produtores da microbacia do Pavão/Matão consideraram o Programa de Microbacias bom, sendo que 74% do total de 27 entrevistados usufruíram dos benefícios do programa... / This study sought to analyze the State Program of Watershed (SPW) in Sao Paulo which had resources of the World Bank and the State Government, and basic premise was to promote sustainable rural agriculture in Sao Paulo. For the case study was chosen the city of Assis / SP, where two microbasins were covered by the water program of the Pavão/ Matão and Surrounding and water from Antas /Pinheiro /Device. Considered the largest state public policy for the promotion of small rural producers, with an area of 50 hectares and with 70% of income from agricultural activities, the SPW, initiated in 2000, offers a series of individual benefits (lime, green manure, seedlings) and collective (semi-artesian wells, septic tank, machinery) to the producer properly handle the soil and water on your property.
