Eleazar Ferreira – Reitor da UniFil 09 One of Londrina's main assets comes from its human capital; the intellectual capacity of its people, which makes the city stand out for its education, its achievements in the fields of Science and Technology as well as for being a centre of information and communications technology. Being a college town that attracts students from all over Paraná along with other states, Londrina is constantly revitalized by the creativity, vision, inspiration, innovative ideas and business acumen of its young population. Education in Londrina is becoming ever more powerful; always current and often revolutionary. We are very proud that our Colégio Londrinense, UniFil and UniFil EaD have all contributed to this success story along with other institutions that make up the main business groups within the education segment in Paraná. “Londrina, the land of wealth”, the tour the force dreamt up and produced by CBN supplies what is most important in education; knowledge and information.

  • Relatório Social Infraero | 2004 Infraero Social Report
    Relatório Social Infraero | 2004 Infraero Social Report 1 MENSAGEM DO PRESIDENTE Infraero atingiu, em 2004, sua meta social de desenvolver A pelo menos um projeto em todos os aeroportos que adminis- tra, um marco histórico para a empresa que registramos neste relatório. São 67 ações que atendem a mais de 21 mil pessoas em todo o Brasil. Números inexpressivos em relação ao que gostarí- amos de fazer e às necessidades do país, mas bastante relevantes ao refletirem o engajamento dos funcionários da empresa, aos quais gostaria de agradecer e dedicar este feito. Por trás de cada ação, há a atuação obstinada de funcionários da Infraero, que se dispõem a estender suas jornadas de trabalho num terceiro expediente, em sábados e domingos para ajudar pessoas que sequer conhecem. Abstêm-se do convívio com as suas famílias para se dedicarem a outras, cujas vidas de priva- ção acompanham da janela do escritório sem nunca se acostu- marem ou se conformarem. Um trabalho desinteressado, cuja única gratificação está na esperança de poder contribuir para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária. Esta é a principal semente do Programa Infraero Social, desen- volver a solidariedade e fomentar o inconformismo com qual- quer tipo de pobreza e desigualdade. É mostrar que a Infraero não é feita apenas de concreto. É feita de pessoas e, principal- mente, de corações. Carlos Wilson Campos MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT nfraero achieved, in 2004, its social goal of developing at Ileast one project in all the airports that it manages, a historic landmark for the company that we record in this report.

Can we just leave now?” “I think so...” came the reply. I was asking two Mormon missionaries just outside the customs inspection in the São Paulo International Airport, engaging in what would be my final conversation with Americans for eight weeks. I had just gotten off the plane after a sleepless night and felt tired, excited, and very confused at the same time as I just passed inspection. From what my parents and other sources told me, long lines and intensive baggage verification was routine; however, I was able to pass through in about a minute without a second glance. “But isn't Customs supposed to be a bit more careful and need to inspect my luggage?” I asked the missionaries again. One of the missionaries put his hand on chin in the thinker pose. “hmmm... you're right.” He said thoughtfully, “But after all, this is Brazil...” This is Brazil... all of the sudden it hit me. For the next two months, this was home. Unlike home though, I did not have the slightest idea what or who I would find in this place. I immediately had second thoughts. What am I doing in this country? I had an internship here in an unknown lab, but I didn't have any lab experience or communication skills in a different language.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank Norman E. Borlaug and John Ruan for making the Internship Program a reality; it makes incredible experiences available for students. The things I have learned and people I have met will forever be instilled in my memory. Secondly, Lisa Fleming’s personal, motivational, and organizational skills helped me to live in Brazil for two months. If not for her constant devotion to the Youth Programs of the World Food Prize Foundation, the Youth Institute and Internship Program would be missing out on a truly amazing person. Dr. Daniel Ricardo Sosa-Gómez acted as my supervisor during my internship at Embrapa Soja. I am eternally grateful for his vast scientific knowledge and guidance. The Laboratory of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics and its employees were a second family and allowed me to learn and work with them for two months. I especially thank Danielle Cristina Gregório Da Silva for her friendship and direction; she will always remain my friend. The opportunity to live with a Brazilian family allowed me to experience the culture first-hand.

  • Toll Roads and Airport Projects As Their Request for Proposal (RFP) Processes Are in a More Advanced Stage
    The Brazilian Infrastructure: It’s “Now or Never” From an Economic Growth Constraint to a Plethora of Opportunities July 29, 2013 It’s “Now or Never.” If Brazil’s infrastructure bottlenecks were concerning before, they have only gotten Research Analysts worse. Over the past ten years, while the Brazilian economy enjoyed prominent growth leveraged by the exhaustion of the model based on credit, consumption, and commodities (the "3 Cs"), transportation Bruno Savaris, CFA infrastructure investments accounted for just ~0.6% of GDP, i.e., less than half of what would be required 55 11 3701.6332 bruno.savaris@credit–suisse.com to sustain annual economic growth of 4.5%. Now that the 3Cs economic model is running out of steam, the Brazilian government has shifted towards addressing concerns about meager economic growth by laying Felipe Vinagre the groundwork to solve one of its biggest problems: the lack of adequate infrastructure. 55 11 3701.6333 felipe.vinagre@credit–suisse.com Mindful Government but Ineffective Alone. While the federal government seems highly committed to delivering on the ~R$240bn investment plan announced in 2H12, the execution challenge cannot be Daniel Magalhaes 55 11 3701.6124 understated, as most projects are still in the analysis stage and execution of public investments has proven daniel.magalhaes@credit–suisse.com inefficient, to say the least. Thus, the private sector has to be involved. Accordingly, the government has implemented several changes to the regulatory framework for ports, railroads, highways, and urban mobility to make the rules sufficiently clear to foster private investments. To put things into perspective, over the past ten years some R$52bn in projects were granted to the private sector.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Alter-Worlds Of
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Alter-Worlds of Lispector and Saer and the End(s) of Latin American literature A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature By Peter James Lehman 2013 © Copyright 2013 Peter James Lehman ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Alter-Worlds of Lispector and Saer and the End(s) of Latin American Literature By Peter James Lehman Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Randal Johnson, Co-chair Professor Kirstie McClure, Co-chair My dissertation seeks to intervene in current debates about both comparative perspectives within Latin American literatures and the place of Latin America within new models of world literature. Despite the importance of this call to a more planetary approach to literature, the turn to a world scope often recapitulates problems associated with the nineteenth century emergence of the term “world literature”: local concerns and traditions dissolve into the search for general patterns or persistent dependencies. If these new comparative models tend to separate the local from the construction of literature’s “world,” significant strains of Latin Americanist criticism have also sought to distance the local from literature and the literary, often identifying the latter alternatively with either the collapse of previous emancipatory dreams or a complicity with power and domination. Focusing on several central narrative texts of the Brazilian Clarice ! ii! Lispector and the Argentine Juan José Saer, I argue for a more contested notion of both the literary and the world. Both Lispector’s and Saer’s pairs of narrative texts in this dissertation make it difficult to untangle the literary construction of their respective worlds from local forms of alterity and otherness.
