    416 APPENDIX A Methods Used for Analysis of Distributions ; As mentioned earlier, the availability of data only at the concelho level was the major difficulty in the use of sophisticated techniques for a quantitative analysis of the regional variations of different Attributes. Data available for certain attributes for the sixty-nine sub-divisions was used for calculating the correlation coefficients for certain distributions as given in Table No.App-Ml Appendix -A. -H. However, this being possible for only a limited number of attributes, certain other techniques had to be used for this purpose. Two such techniques have been used in this work for the analysis of spatial variation using the data at the concelho level (and in some cases where the village level data were available the 3ame was plotted for smaller units consisting of groups of villages as per Appendix A.I. and Fig.App.A.1.)' Firstly, the Lorenz curve proved to be a simple yet useful technique for visualizing the regional variations and the extent of evenness or unevenness of the distribution over the area. The points showing the position of each concelho or region on the curve have been shown by Roman numbers, key for which is given at the end of this Appendix. This simple technique brings out clearly the variations in most cases 1. Villages were grouped into sixtynine utfits. These sub­ divisions were based on the available data for census units of i960 census (GGDD, 1966) and wherever necessary grouping of such jjnits with due regard to relief, concelho boundaries and the comparability of size.

  • Planting Power ... Formation in Portugal.Pdf
    Promotoren: Dr. F. von Benda-Beckmann Hoogleraar in het recht, meer in het bijzonder het agrarisch recht van de niet-westerse gebieden. Ir. A. van Maaren Emeritus hoogleraar in de boshuishoudkunde. Preface The history of Portugal is, like that of many other countries in Europe, one of deforestation and reafforestation. Until the eighteenth century, the reclamation of land for agriculture, the expansion of animal husbandry (often on communal grazing grounds or baldios), and the increased demand for wood and timber resulted in the gradual disappearance of forests and woodlands. This tendency was reversed only in the nineteenth century, when planting of trees became a scientifically guided and often government-sponsored activity. The reversal was due, on the one hand, to the increased economic value of timber (the market's "invisible hand" raised timber prices and made forest plantation economically attractive), and to the realization that deforestation had severe impacts on the environment. It was no accident that the idea of sustainability, so much in vogue today, was developed by early-nineteenth-century foresters. Such is the common perspective on forestry history in Europe and Portugal. Within this perspective, social phenomena are translated into abstract notions like agricultural expansion, the invisible hand of the market, and the public interest in sustainably-used natural environments. In such accounts, trees can become gifts from the gods to shelter, feed and warm the mortals (for an example, see: O Vilarealense, (Vila Real), 12 January 1961). However, a closer look makes it clear that such a detached account misses one key aspect: forests serve not only public, but also particular interests, and these particular interests correspond to specific social groups.

  • The Effect of the Establishment of the Portuguese Republic on the Revenue of Secular Brotherhoods—The Case of “Bom Jesus De Braga”1
    The Effect of the Establishment of the Portuguese Republic on the Revenue of Secular 1 Brotherhoods—the Case of “Bom Jesus de Braga” Paulo Mourão2 Abstract Following its establishment in 1910, the First Portuguese Republic adopted a markedly anticlerical profile during its early years. Consequently, we hypothesize that the revenue of Portuguese religious institutions should reflect a clear structural break in 1910. However, one of Portugal’s most important historical pilgrimage sites (“Bom Jesus de Braga”) does not seem to have experienced a very significant break. Relying on time series econometrics (consisting primarily of recurring tests for multiple structural breaks), we studied the series of the Bom Jesus revenue between 1863 and 1952 (i.e., between the confiscation of church property by the constitutional monarchy and the stabilization of the Second Republic). It was concluded that 1910 does not represent a significant date for identifying a structural break in this series. However, the last quarter of the nineteenth century cannot be neglected in terms of the structural changes occurring in the Bom Jesus revenue. Keywords Portuguese economic history; anticlericalism; Bom Jesus de Braga; structural breaks Resumo Após o estabelecimento, em 1910, a Primeira República Portuguesa assumiu um perfil anticlerical durante os seus primeiros anos. Consequentemente, poderíamos supor que as receitas das instituições religiosas portuguesas refletiram quebras estruturais em 1910. No entanto, um dos mais importantes centros históricos de peregrinação de Portugal (o "Bom Jesus de Braga") parece ter passado esses anos sem quebras significativas. Baseando-nos em análises econométricas de séries temporais (principalmente testes sobre quebras estruturais), estudámos com detalhe a série de receitas de Bom Jesus entre 1863 e 1952 (ou seja, entre o confisco da propriedade da igreja pela monarquia constitucional e a estabilização da Segunda República).

  • The Generic Freguesia As an Administrative Division in Portugal and Brazil: Synchronic Perspective Study Adriana Tavares Lima Ab
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA The Generic Freguesia as an Administrative Division in Portugal and Brazil: Synchronic Perspective Study1 Adriana Tavares Lima DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.150 Abstract Freguesia is a generic that refers to one administrative division which involves social contexts, primarily in the scope of Portugal’s official (Catholic) church. The term had the same meaning in Brazil during Portuguese colonization. These countries have the same language, but their administrative divisions, history and culture are different. They also have some generics with the same linguistic structure as the aforementioned generic, which reflects linguistic phenomena today related to key changes in social structures. This paper will provide support for understanding the meaning of this concept and data for the Atlas Toponímico de Portugal (Toponymic Atlas of Portugal) developed at Universidade de São Paulo (Brazil), showing the use of freguesia as a generic term in São Paulo (Brazil) and in Braga (Portugal). Although the focus is not directly on Braga in this paper, interest in it is justified because the Master’s level research we are carrying out examines the role of the freguesia and its related toponyms in Braga, a city that is evidently important to established Portuguese nationality. These names can display the semantic status of a term that has been in existence since Portugal’s inception, as well as its social and historical changes and diachronic transformations, which may contribute to understanding the colonization process in Brazil from another perspective, by analyzing the linguistic status of freguesia in São Paulo in the present day.

After the Christian Conquest of the South and namely of the Loulé territory in 1249, the Christian Administration, based on the city councils meetings, composed of good men, will have to reconcile the social and religious dynamics of the populations who stayed in the territory, formed by Jews, Muslims and Christians. Besides this social, cultural and religious scenario, local administration will also assure the management of production, distribution and sale of food needed to ensure the survival and the settlement of the populations in the territory. Part of that distribution included cereals, olive oil, wine, meat and fish, all of them representing the Mediterranean food basis of the populations from the South of the Iberian Peninsula. It is about this daily concern with food distribution and consumption, in a religious and culturally tripartite society that we intend to present this article, focusing the analysis on three types of food: cereals (“bread”), meat and fish. We intend to demonstrate how the medieval council of Loulé managed the production of the food and how the population was fed, using the Councillor Minutes of the Loulé City Council in the medieval Christian period.

L A notícia da proclamação da Independência do Brasil chegou nesta data a esta capital e foi recebida com muita esperança pelo povo, que se reuniu no largo da Trincheira (12) e declarou a adesão da Província do Rio Negro ao Império. A sessão solene de juramento de fidelidade e obediência ao Imperador realizou-se às nove horas da manhã do dia 22. Primeiro juraram os vereadores da Câmara de Serpa, que já estava instalada na Barra do Rio Negro desde o dia 19. Depois, a junta governativa e as autoridades civis e militares. No dia seguinte fez-se a eleição de nova junta de governo para o Rio Negro – a Junta da Independência –, constituída exclusivamente de cidadãos brasileiros com acentuado sentimenrto nativista: Bonifácio João de Azevedo, Raimundo Barroso de Bastos, Plácido Moreira de Carvalho, Luís Ferreira da Cunha e João da Silva e Cunha. No dia 18 de agosto de 1823, três dias depois da adesão do Pará à Independência do Brasil, extingüira-se o Estado do Grão-Pará e Rio Negro e a Capitania do Grão-Pará elevara-se a Província. Ao aderir à Independência, a Capitania de São José do Rio Negro deveria tornar-se, também, Província do Império. Era essa a expectativa dos amazonenses diante da nova ordem político-institucional.

  • Campo Largo O Município E a Comarca
    CAMPO LARGO O MUNICÍPIO E A COMARCA BRASÃO DE CAMPO LARGO A denominação de Campo Largo vem desde os tempos do desbravamento dos Campos de Curitiba. O coronel Antônio Luiz, português de nascimento e conhecido pelo apelido de “Tigre”, foi o grande pioneiro do atual município. Tigre possuía uma sesmaria onde hoje se localiza a sede municipal e morava na Fazenda Nossa Senhora da Conceição do Tamanduá. A região prosperou a partir do final do século XVIII com o nome de Freguesia Colada de Tamanduá. Em 12 de março de 1841 a localidade foi elevada à categoria de Distrito Judiciário, pertencente à comarca de Curitiba e passou a ser chamada de Campo Largo de Piedade. O município foi criado em 2 de abril de 1870 e, através da Lei Provincial nº 359/1873, passa a ser sede de Comarca. O município formado em grande parte por descendentes italianos e poloneses possui reconhecidamente um dos melhores climas do Estado, abrigando em seu território estações de água mineral, além de ser conhecido como a “Capital da Louça” símbolo que se traduz pela habilidade artística que permanece forte em seu povo. A INSTALAÇÃO DA COMARCA A comarca foi criada pela Lei nº 359 de 18 de abril de 1873 com a denominação de São José e Campo Largo, sendo desmembrada de Curitiba. Em 1875, através da Lei Provincial nº 439, São José dos Pinhais é desligada de Campo Largo e a comarca passa a chamar-se apenas Campo Largo. Posteriormente, através do Decreto nº 2 de 1891, a comarca de Campo Largo é suprimida e anexada à Capital, sendo reativada pela Lei nº 15 de 1892 e novamente suprimida pela Lei nº 281 de 1893.
