As mudanças em curso desde o início do século XXI nos ambientes tecnológico, político, institucional e organizacional afetaram significativamente a forma, o grau e a direção com que se organizam os Sistemas Nacionais de Inovação Agropecuária tornando-os cada vez mais complexos e dinâmicos alterando o papel dos Institutos Nacionais de Pesquisa Agropecuária (INPAs). Neste sentido, os Institutos vêm fazendo importantes esforços para consolidar e desenvolver capacidades de organização e gestão de pesquisa, desenvolvimento e inovação tendendo principalmente a uma maior articulação com os demais atores e à construção e implementação de mecanismos de gestão mais flexíveis. O presente trabalho motiva-se pela percepção de que há hoje um desajuste entre a forma como essas instituições se organizam e a evolução dos sistemas de inovação agropecuário. Percebe-se também que os mecanismos de monitoramento e avaliação de resultados e impactos que são empregados atualmente pelos Institutos para medir seu desempenho não conseguem medir sua participação relativa nos sistemas. Desta forma, o presente trabalho tem o objetivo de propor um quadro analítico capaz de avaliar a inserção e participação dos INPAs nos Sistemas Nacionais de Inovação Agropecuária. Este quadro divide-se em quatro níveis de análise: o primeiro sobre a participação dos INPAs na base de conhecimento, tecnológica e produtiva do sistema de inovação; o segundo sobre sua articulação com os demais atores e redes envolvidos nos processos de inovação do setor; o terceiro sobre seu envolvimento na definição de políticas e marcos regulatórios; e finalmente, o quarto nível integra os anteriores e foca os modelos gerenciais dos INPAs para lidar com os Sistemas de Inovação. O quadro proposto é confrontado com os casos da Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária do Brasil (EMBRAPA) e do Instituto Nacional de Investigação Agropecuária do Uruguai (INIA). A conclusão fundamental derivada do trabalho é de que conquanto constatem-se mudanças organizacionais em ambos Institutos na direção de um envolvimento mais integrado nos Sistemas de Inovação, eles não monitoram sua importância relativa nos indicadores mais críticos, tais como participação na produção das tecnologias em uso, no envolvimento com outros atores, na influência sobre a formulação de políticas, entre outros / Abstract: The changing role of National Agricultural Research Institutes (NARIs) in the new research, development and innovation context, driven by the transition from the approach of National Agricultural Research Systems to National Agricultural Innovation Systems in developing countries, is the main theme of the thesis. Ongoing changes since the beginning of XXI century in the technological, political, institutional and organizational fields, significantly influenced the way, degree and direction of how National Agricultural Innovation Systems organize making them increasingly complex and dynamic and changing the role of the NARIs. In this sense, such Institutes have been making great efforts to consolidate and develop organizational and research, development and innovation management skills, tending mainly, to a greater coordination with the other actors and the construction and implementation of more flexible management mechanisms. This work is motivated by the perception that there is actually a mismatch between the way these institutions organize and the evolution of agricultural innovation systems. It is also perceived that the mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation of results and impacts, currently used by the Institutes to measure their performances, are unable to measure their relative participation in the systems. Therefore, it is this paper objective to propose an analytical framework able to assess the role and the participation of NARIs in National Agricultural Innovation Systems. The framework is divided into four levels of analysis: the first one, on NARIs participation in the knowledge, technological and production innovation system base; the second one, on its relationship with the other actors and networks involved in the sector innovation processes; the third one, on their participation in the definition of policies and regulatory frameworks; and finally, the fourth level integrates the other levels and focuses on NARIs management models to deal with Innovation Systems. The proposed analytical framework is confronted with cases from the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) and the National Agricultural Research Institute of Uruguay (INIA). The main conclusion of the thesis is that although organizational changes towards a more integrated participation in the innovation systems are observed in both institutes, they still do not monitor their relative importance in the most critical indicators such as participation in production of technologies in use, bonding with other actors and influence in policy making, among others / Doutorado / Politica Cientifica e Tecnologica / Doutora em Política Científica e Tecnológica

The aim of this dissertation is at answering the question if there was price transmission to the wheat market at Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and the United States, or more specifically, if these markets are spatially integrated. To verify if existed price co-integration among the wheat markets from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and the North American market it was used the DF test, DFA, Johansen and Granger test. The results demonstrate that the wheat prices in the United States effectively participate of the long-term equilibrium, meaning that Argentina and Uruguay not have significant for the formation of prices in Brazil. The function impulse-response demonstrated that after a price chock, the wheat prices in Brazil takes nearly 13 months to get back to an equilibrium state, that is, the instabilities are corrected slowly. The decomposition of the error variance indicates that the prevision errors are expressively explained by the wheat prices in the United States. In regarding to the shortterm relations, the first difference in wheat prices to Brazil and Argentina have a significant coefficient at a 95% confidence level, that is, it responds positively to the chokes. The results for the United States and Uruguay did not demonstrate to be significant in a 5% significance level. The coefficient obtained from the error significant term demonstrates that the discrepancy of about 39% among the explaining variables and the dependent variable it is being corrected from the prior period to the actual period each month. / O objetivo da presente dissertação é responder se há transmissão de preços entre os mercados de trigo na Argentina, Brasil, Uruguai e Estados Unidos, ou seja, se estes mercados são espacialmente integrados. Para verificar se existe tal integração utilizam-se os testes de DF, DFA, de Johansen e o teste de causalidade de Granger, respectivamente. Os resultados demonstram que os preços do trigo dos Estados Unidos participam efetivamente do equilíbrio de longo prazo dos preços no Brasil, enquanto a variação de preços na Argentina e o Uruguai não foram estatisticamente significativas para a formação dos preços no Brasil. A função impulso-resposta demonstrou que após um choque de preços, o preço do trigo no Brasil leva aproximadamente 13 meses para voltar ao equilíbrio, isto é, os desequilíbrios são corrigidos lentamente. A decomposição da variância dos erros indica que os erros de previsão são explicados significativamente pelos preços do trigo nos Estados Unidos. No que se refere às relações de curto prazo, a regressão em primeira diferença dos preços do trigo para o Brasil e Argentina apresentou os coeficientes significativos e responde positivamente aos choques. Os resultados para o Uruguai e Estados Unidos não se mostraram significativos em um nível de significância de 5%. O coeficiente obtido do termo de erro significativo demonstra que a discrepância de cerca de 39% entre as variáveis explicativas e a variável dependente está sendo corrigida do período anterior para o atual, a cada mês.

This master's thesis aims to compare Horacio Quiroga's short story with a general theory of the short story and to juxtapose it with Quiroga's own Ten Rules for the Perfect Storyteller. The first theoretical part looks at the short story from the point of view of literary history with a special focus on the differences between a short story and a novel. It goes on to give a short overview of the literary development in Latin America, outlining specific features of the given area and their influence on Horacio Quiroga's works. A separate chapter covers the Hispanic - American fantasy short story, its general principles and some examples of Horacio Quiroga's works. In the next chapter the paper refers to Quiroga's essays concerning theories of the short story, particularly Ten Rules for the Perfect Storyteller, aiming to introduce the theoretical concept of Quiroga's art of storytelling. Ten Rules for the Perfect Storyteller provides the paper with the background to interpret a number of selected Quiroga's short stories as well as to compare the theories of the short story between Horacio Quiroga and Edgar Allan Poe. Having briefly outlined the context of Quiroga's complete work, the paper identifies the main recurring themes and touches upon Quiroga's character in his short stories set in the...

The thesis examines a potential of markets in Peru, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil for trade with acoustic pianos PETROF. The first chapter contains an overview of piano manufacturers and terms associated with that field. Characteristic of protectionism and its effects on trade are mentioned in the first chapter as well, since some countries apply trade barriers frequently. An economic analysis of these states together with a market analysis follows. The market potential investigation is based on field research in the countries of South America.

This Master's thesis focuses on nation branding in developing countries. Nation branding is an emerging discipline that aims to build and improve a nation's image through the application of marketing techniques. The aim of the thesis is to contextualize the nation branding of developing countries within the broader framework of the theory and practice of nation branding and development studies. The thesis is structured into three chapters. The first chapter offers an introduction into the theory and practice of nation branding and the critique attached to it. The second chapter then looks at how nation branding fits into the wider context of development studies, and the scale of its relevance for developing countries with a special focus on its application for export, FDI and tourism promotion and its significance in development co-operation. The last chapter is dedicated to case studies of application of nation branding in two developing countries: Uruguay and Thailand. The conclusion sums up the results.

A presente Tese de Doutorado tem como objetivo analisar o comportamento do Brasil nas negociações comerciais multilaterais no sistema GATT/OMC, mediante o estudo do processo decisório doméstico que estruturou a atuação do país nas negociações agrícolas na Rodada Uruguai (1986-1994) e, na Rodada Doha (2001 2008), com foco no entendimento do processo de formulação das posições apresentadas, no Grupo de Cairns e, no G-20, respectivamente. A partir desses dois estudos de caso e da análise comparada do processo decisório, incorporando parte da literatura de Análise de Política Externa, pretendemos analisar, em dois momentos, no mesmo tema, a receptividade da política externa brasileira às pressões domésticas. O trabalho procura suprir certa lacuna da literatura sobre coalizões no sistema GATT/OMC, pois, a maior parte dos estudos tem dificuldade em incluir aspectos que se localizam, no interior dos sistemas decisórios nacionais, enquanto variáveis relevantes que ajudam a entender o comportamento dos países em coalizões. / The objective of this thesis is to analyze Brazilian behavior in multilateral trade negotiations in the GATT/WTO system, through the study of the domestic decision making process that structured the country positions in the agricultural negotiations during the Uruguay Round (1986 1994) and the Doha Round (2001 2008). Our focus is to understand the domestic decision making process that structured the positions presented by Brazil in the Cairns Group and in the G-20, respectively. From these two case studies, the comparative analysis of the decision making process and incorporating the Foreign Policy Analysis literature, we intend to analyze at two different moments on the same issue, the openness of the Brazilian Foreign Policy to domestic pressure. The work seeks to fill the gap in the literature on coalitions in the GATT/WTO since most studies do not include aspects related to the national decision making process as important variables useful to understand countries behavior in coalitions.

The study examines multilateral negotiation in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and later in the World Trade Organization. It analyses the effectiveness of the decision-making process on the liberalization of trade in agricultural products in the Uruguay and Doha rounds of negotiations. Agriculture seems to be the most problematic and the most controversial issue on the agenda during the both rounds of negotiations. The aim of the study is to analyse the negotiation processes in selected cases and compare them to identify factors explaining the difference in the effectiveness of the decision-making process between Uruguay and Doha round. The study also attempts to clarify why it is so complicated to conclude the Doha round after more than fifteen years of negotiations. Therefore, six factors with presumed influence on the effectiveness of the decision-making process are defined in the theoretical part of the study: number of actors, leadership, inclusiveness of negotiation, agenda complexity, coalitions and strategies of actors. The degree of influence of these factors is then tested in the practical part of the study. The study assumes that the efficiency of the decision-making process is increased by the reduced number of active actors in the negotiation, the willingness of the actors...

El objetivo de la presente tesis es analizar la distribución geográfica de la oferta universitaria en cada uno de los países del MERCOSUR y proponer un modelo de descentralización universitaria gestionado por las propias Intendencias o Gobiernos Departamentales del Uruguay. El estudio toma como referencia el proceso de integración del MERCOSUR, y su impacto sobre las inversiones y los recursos humanos en los cuatro países miembros. La descentralización universitaria en los países miembros del MERCOSUR, es examinada atendiendo a criterios geográficos y poblacionales. Se centra el análisis en Uruguay, observando como los factores políticos afectan a la descentralización de la educación universitaria. Son identificadas las necesidades de educación universitaria en dos departamentos del país. Justificándose la descentralización en relación a la población y a las oportunidades laborales. Se propone un modelo de educación universitaria donde la iniciativa se realice desde las propias Intendencias Departamentales. El modelo propuesto tiene como objetivo hacer protagonistas a las Intendencias, para evitar la emigración de la población joven y las consecuencias negativas y sociales que produce. Dos encuestas fueron realizadas en 2002 y 2004 para determinar las necesidades de educación universitaria en una región del país. / Brotóns Muró, LF. (2008).
