It provides data on the cost of shipping soybeans, via highways and ocean, to Shanghai, China, and Hamburg, Germany. It also includes information about soybean production, exports, railways, ports, and infrastructural developments. Brazil is one of the most important U.S. competitors in the world oilseed market. Brazil’s competitiveness in the world market depends largely on its transportation infrastructure, both production and transportation cost, increases in planted area, and productivity. Brazilian and U.S. producers use the same advanced production and technological methods, making their soybeans relative substitutes. U.S soybean competitiveness worldwide rests upon critical factors such as transportation costs and infrastructure improvements. Brazil is gaining a cost advantage. However, the United States retains a significant share of global soybean exports.

  • Renewable Energy Policy in Cities: Sao Paulo, Brazil, Case Study
    CITY IN FOCUS SAO PAULO, BRAZIL Local Government Regulation Ordinances and Laws to Promote Renewable Energy SUMMARY A regulation can be understood as a measure for influencing actors by means of formulated rules and directives, passed by legislation and having the force of law. Conventionally, regulation has been used as a tool to restrict certain undesirable actions. More recently, regulation is being used to promote desirable actions or to influence a desirable outcome without the narrowly prescrip- tive details of how the action should be implemented. When used in this manner, regulation can stimulate innovation and encourage a transition to renewable energy (RE) solutions. The Solar Ordinance of Sao Paulo, for instance, requires new residential, commercial and industrial buildings to install solar water heating systems (SWH) to cover at least 40% of the energy used for heating water. It is part of the municipal building code and is in-line with the national energy framework. The Solar Ordinance has stimulated market demand for an innovative RE technology and resulted in significant net savings among a wide array of stakeholders and a reduction in the production costs of SWH. By 2015, it will allow for a reduction of around 35,000 tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) from the city’s residential sector and 200 gigawatt hours (GWh) in electricity consumption. It is currently been replicated in cities across Brazil. Figure 1: Sao Paulo, view from the peak of Jaragua K C TO S HUTTER - S AVLOV P VAN I : OPYRIGHT C INTRODUCTION REGULATION TO STIMULATE INNOVATION Regulation is a law, rule, or other order prescribed by authority towards meeting a certain end.

  • Fertile Ground for Innovation
    S&T POLICY ENTREPRENEURSHIP y Fertile ground for innovation Study examines distribution of projects among São Paulo’s technology-based small businesses and identifies São Carlos as the zone of greatest density Bruno de Pierro he formation of innovation hubs in the state of São Paulo is influenced by certain factors peculiar to it and does not always follow the trajectory observed T in other countries. This is one of the conclusions of a study by researchers from the University of Campinas (Unicamp) and the George Washington University, in the United States. They analyzed the prevalence of the trait known as knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (KIE) in different regions of São Paulo State. The term refers to the concentration of young, innovative companies that employ new technologies generated by universities, or by their own people, to take advantage of business opportunities in dif- ferent industries. The researchers used data from FAPESP’s Innovative Re- search in Small Businesses Program (PIPE), which since 1997 has been supporting scientific and technological research among microenterprises and small and medium-sized com- panies in São Paulo municipalities. According to the authors, PIPE data are a reliable, albeit restricted, indicator for deter- mining where business innovation is occurring in the state. The study examined 1,130 PIPE projects distributed among 114 cities where companies had been granted at least one 30 z AUGUST 2016 project between 1998 and 2014.

  • Sustainability of Urban Mobility of Campinas City, Brazil
    European Journal of Sustainable Development (2019), 8, 2, 35-44 ISSN: 2239-5938 Doi: 10.14207/ejsd.2019.v8n2p35 Sustainability of Urban Mobility of Campinas City, Brazil Christian Turra1 Abstract In the last decades, urbanization has increased and it has shown to be an irreversible process. The negative impacts of urban growth make to sustainable actions necessary. One of the cities that have national relevance in its economic, social and demographic aspects is Campinas , in the state of Sa õ Paulo, Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of urban mobility and offer sustainable alternatives for the improvement of urban mobility in this city. A quali-quantitative survey was carried out with 234 citizens in Campinas, in three public squares and one municipal park. The results showed that the majority of the interviewed citizens were female, aged between 21 and 30 years old, undergraduate and employed with an income of 1 to 2 minimum wages. Their monthly expense on urban mobility represents, on average, 5% to 10% of the family income. The car was the main means of transportation. The main difficulty in transportation reported was traffic. Most of the interviewed individuals spend 10 to 20 minutes to commute to work or university. Among the main suggestions pointed out by the interviewees for the improvement of urban mobility are newer and more modern buses. Train or subway can be options to diminish the traffic and air pollution and were also suggested by the interviewees. Constant evaluation and monitoring of urban mobility are necessary to understand the real needs of the population and carry out the necessary actions.

  • Availability and Consumption of Groundwater Resources in the Campinas Region, SP, Brazil
    RESEARCH ARTICLES Availability and consumption of groundwater resources in the Campinas Region, SP, Brazil Sueli Yoshinaga Pereira Institute of Geosciences University of Campinas UNICAMP [email protected] Annkarin Aurélia Kimmelmann e Silva Bandeirantes University UNIBAN ABSTRACT This study presents an evaluation of the availability of groundwater resources in the Campinas Metropolitan Region, SP, Brazil, through the estimation of rates of groundwater reserves and consumption. The region is characterized by low permeability aquifer systems, such as: Tubarão Aquifer Systems (glacial and post glacial consolidated sediments), Crystalline Aquifer Systems (granites, migmatites and gnaisses) and diabase sills and dikes. These aquifer systems present the following median values of productivity: 0.1 m3/h/m, 0.11 m3/h/m and 0.06 m3/h/m, respectively, and 0.07 m3/h/m for wells exploiting two or more aquifers. The region has a population of 2,151,543 inhabitants, is highly industrialized and it is located in the Piracicaba River Hydrographic Basin. The chronic scarcity of water reflects incalculable human interference, such as the water transpositions by Cantareira System. The total availability of groundwater resources was estimated at 3,22 m3/s (1996) and the consumption was estimated at 1,73 m3/s, representing an exploitation of 54%. Now, this rate is estimated at 72%. It is predicted that in 5 years this exploitation will reach the total reserve. Finally this study concludes with the discussion of the quality and quantity of information, since the most recent data are from 1994/95 and this was the last update of well records in the region.

In 1908 the ship Kasato-maru docked in Santos, in São Paulo State, carrying the first 791 Japanese immigrants, and this event is the starting point for a close relationship between thihe two countries. 2 from 1908 to 1970, approximately 210 thousand Japanese immigrants came to Brazil and are incorporated in the formation of a new cultural identity, the Japanese-Brazilian. The result of these exchanges can be found in our day to day in many ways. The recent popularity of football in Japan is due to the performance of players and Brazilian technicians. The music and Brazilian cuisine has been appreciated by the Japp,anese, who increasing gyyply sympathize with Brazil and its people, known for his joyful spirit and big heart. 3 A bilingual dictionary Portuguese Japanese came to be edited in the old 1602,,p when Japan came out of the feudal era and join the process of political unification and territorial.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of anti-Toxoplasma gondii and anti-Neospora caninum antibodies in 170 free-living capybaras in a residential park area in Itu Municipality, São Paulo State, Brazil. Serum samples were tested by indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) forT. gondii (IFAT ≥ 1:16) and N. caninum (IFAT ≥ 1:50). Among the 170 samples analyzed, 10% (17/170) and 0% (0/170) were seropositive for T. gondii and N. caninum, respectively. This study confirms the widespread presence of T. gondii and reinforces the role of capybaras in the life cycle of this parasite. Capybaras may not be important as intermediate hosts of N. caninum in the studied environment.

  • Santos Dumont
    SANTOS DUMONT: THE FLYING POET Adelia Borges How to quote this text: Borges, A., 2016. Santos Dumont: the flying poet. V!RUS, [e-journal] 12. Available at: <http://www.nomads.usp.br/virus/virus12/?sec=5 [Accessed 00 Month 0000]. Adelia Borges is journalist and has worked for 45 years in printed and broadcast media. She is curator and chairman of exhibitions of design, arts and architecture, and producer of cultural projects. She was Director of the Museum of the Brazilian House, MCB, Sao Paulo. She is interested in culture e democratic design. Few names are as well known in Brazil as that of Alberto Santos Dumont. After all, the name has been given to streets and squares in hundreds of towns throughout the country, as well as a famous airport, a municipality, foundations, museums and institutes, among other things. Paradoxically, this massive exposure conceals an image somehow emptied of content and meaning. The intention of this text is to strip away this cloak of ignorance and superficiality to reveal the figure of a flying poet, a dreaming and persevering designer, who through his creations made a difference to history, and who is therefore able to teach us lessons even today. According to a dictionary definition, design is the ‘conception of a product or model; planning’. Santos Dumont did not just conceive and plan a series of products, but he also developed, built and experimented with them personally. The best known are his flying machines – balloons and airplanes. He also came up with numerous other inventions, such as some engine solutions, the hangar and garments.
