Changes and Factors Determining the Efficiency of Cattle Farming in the State of Pará, Brazilian Amazon

Livestock production in the Brazilian state of Pará, located in the Amazon biome, faces challenges related to sustainable production chains and competitive production systems. Historically, expansion of pastures has led to environmental pressures and low productivity. The objective is to evaluate changes in cattle raising efficiency in the microregions of Pará state and identify the factors contributing to efficient cattle production at the state level. The data analysis techniques used include Data Envelopment Analysis, Malmquist Index, and Tobit Regression. The study found that, on average, there was a marginal improvement in livestock efficiency in Pará over the analyzed years, increasing from 0.75 (75%) in 2006 to 0.76 (76%) in 2017. However, nine out of 17 microregions showed improvement in individual efficiency, while five showed a decline. Non-family agriculture, livestock credit, and land prices were identified as factors that negatively contributed to the activity’s inefficiency, while specialization in soybeans and deforestation were factors that positively contributed to inefficiency. The study suggests that financial support for technological and infrastructure improvements, more rigorous environmental policies, and a more competitive environment can further contribute to improving the efficiency of cattle farming in Pará.

ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE SYNCHRONOUS SUPPLY METHOD ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE ASSEMBLY LINES

Today, businesses must deal with very demanding customers and fierce competition. To be able to face all these demands, they must have a competitive production system. Until now, research has focused on methods to improve production, but today companies are beginning to realize that an improvement in internal logistics is equally an alternative to attract a new advantage on their side. For this reason, the main objective of the research in this article is to study the influence of the synchronous workstation supply method. On the performance of assembly lines. With the help of experience plans, the influence of certain input data (daily demand and diversity) considered at certain levels on the total cost was obtained. The values of these functions (response variables) that correspond to the factors and levels imposed by the experience plan, were obtained with the help of process simulation in the ARENA program. The analysis of the cost pointed out the fact synchronous supply methos have a significant influence on assembly lines performance.

Study on the Potential Somatic and Biomotric of Volleyball Players, Participating in Qualifications for J.O. 2012

The rich contained of the game, the difficult technique, the permanent dynamism of shares in the indirect dispute with the opponent and extremely varied solicit, enforce a absolute correspondence between the requirements of the game and the complex of abilities of what prepare in the sight obtain big performances. Contained current of the game, can’t turned to good account than of the players with a potential of exception, specialize, owners have of a luggage's of shares with a level extremely an efficiency, doubled of a support biological and skill preparedly and turned to good account to the parameters maximum. On the strength of correlation parameters of the efficient more players from world, directing to chiefly the appearances of the nature the psyche and morphological, with evidence hereditary mark, is can outlined a profile optimal of a player of big performance of the moment and, I can projected profiles ale the needfulness of resources skills and technical, tactical fitted the future specialization player. Against the ultimate model outlined to a moment of a major competitions, through extrapolation, is imperious necessary to is outlined an ensemble of the intermediate models, as targets of touches in the route formation as the player. In attempting acquisition rule, proved effective strategies that focused on a selection line of exceptional psychological somatomotor the players, the achievement of qualitative and quantitative training to maximize share on ensuring competitive production systems, high value high-level games, options consistently supported the conception and management level opportunities.

Conservación de recursos genéticos de la agrobiodiversidad como apoyo al desarrollo de sistemas de producción sostenibles

El crecimiento poblacional y los cambios en el entorno requieren de la disponibilidad de diversidad genética para el desarrollo de sistemas de producción sostenibles, eficientes y competitivos. Esto implica colectar, conservar y conocer los atributos de las poblaciones en mantenimiento de especies de valor actual y taxones relacionados, al igual que entidades biológicas con potencial de desarrollo, lo cual cobra importancia dada la creciente erosión genética. Esto plantea la necesidad de estrategias complementarias de conservación ex situ e in situ, dando prioridad a la variabilidad genética a ser incluida en el proceso, debido a los costos de mantenimiento, y considerar factores no sólo económicos sino también sociales, así como los limitantes actuales para acceder a la diversidad internacional. Este artículo presenta una revisión sobre la importancia de la conservación de los recursos genéticos vegetales, animales y de microorganismos de la agrobiodiversidad, e incluye una discusión y algunos aspectos requeridos para la priorización de taxones y tipo de materiales que se deben incluir en el proceso. Para ello, se parte de la premisa de que la conservación de la diversidad genética sirve para la realización de procesos de valor agregado y de utilización posterior.

Women Workers and the Promise of Ethical Trade in the Globalised Garment Industry: A Serious Beginning?

The paper gives an overview of the recent development within the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI), especially the development of corporate codes of conduct, and considers the prospects they offer for improving labour conditions for workers in the international garments industry. It argues that two specific features of the industry—competitive production systems based on international subcontracting and the use of predominantly female production workers—are likely to undermine the effective development of a codes‐based strategy. Nevertheless, the labour rights agenda at the centre of ETI does provide a space for labour activists, whether operating in or out of formal union structures, to build campaigns and connections around global production networks.
