Embora a visão baseada em recursos represente uma das principais correntes de pensamento da área de estratégia empresarial, a identificação e a análise de recursos é uma atividade de difícil operacionalização e ainda pouco estudada. Reconhecendo a importância dessa atividade e contribuindo com um procedimento metodológico para a avaliação de recursos, este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar e analisar os recursos estratégicos de empresas pertencentes ao setor hoteleiro de um município do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul com um elevado fluxo de turistas de negócios. Para alcançar esse objetivo, foram realizados estudos de casos em dois hotéis, utilizando como técnica principal de coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada com perguntas abertas e fechadas dirigidas aos gerentes das empresas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada e de caráter descritivo que adotou uma abordagem predominantemente qualitativa para a análise de dados. Os resultados demonstraram a aplicabilidade da metodologia proposta e permitiram que os gerentes dos hotéis pesquisados tivessem condições de reconhecer seus recursos estratégicos e entender como poderiam melhorar o valor, a sustentabilidade e a versatilidade deles.

Japanese plums are popular fruits since they are exceptionally nutritious with high fiber and antioxidant content. This work has aimed to analyze the most critical phenology, fruit quality and postharvest parameters from a genomic point of view to identify molecular markers closely linked to the most significant Quantitative trait loci (QTLs). A genetic linkage map of an F1 population of 151 individuals from the cross ''98-99' x 'Angeleno' was constructed using previously reported Single Nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data and 25 additional Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers. Twenty-three phenotypic traits evaluated during three harvest seasons were assayed to estimate best linear unbiased predictors by using two genomic association QTL analysis approaches: General Linear Model-based single marker-trait associations (GLM) and Multiple QTL Model analyses (MQM). In addition, loss of weight and chlorophyll degradation between days 1 and 7 as well as fruit softening for days 1, 4, and 7 were monitored during two consecutive seasons. The most significant identified QTLs were linked to fruit development period and fruit weight in Linkage Groups (LG) 4 and 2, respectively. Regarding postharvest parameters, the identified QTLs related to chlorophyll degradation and loss of weight showed lower significance than phenology or fruit quality traits. In contrast, minor QTLs for fruit firmness evolution using destructive and non-destructive methods were confirmed in LG 4 and 5. ; National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research (CONICYT) of Chile government through FONDECYT Postdoctoral fellowship 3160080 FONDECYT Starting Into Research 11150662 Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) CONICYT FONDECYT 1191446 Subprograma Regional "Saavedra Fajardo" project 20397/SF/17 project "Breeding stone fruit species assisted by molecular tools" from the "Fundacion Seneca" of Murcia (Spain) 19879/GERM/15 Juan de la Cierva Incorporacion IJC2018-036623-I

Aedes aegypti L., 1762, principal vetor reconhecido como transmissor do vírus da dengue. Este vetor, uma vez adaptado aos hábitos humanos, não encontra dificuldades para se reproduzir em ambientes domésticos que disponham de recipientes acumuladores de água, encontrados facilmente nas ruas e nos lixos das cidades. As instituições de ensino têm papel fundamental na formação de jovens como cidadãos disseminadores de práticas a favor da promoção da saúde. Com a finalidade de promover a educação para o controle do mosquito vetor do vírus dengue, este trabalho foi desenvolvido através de atividades lúdicas e didáticas nas escolas públicas e particulares do Centro-Sul Fluminense, cidades, centros culturais e espaços públicos do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Os resultados apontaram respostas positivas acima de 80% sobre o tema Aedes-dengue-controle. O projeto atendeu a 1883 participantes. O Projeto Educação Antidengue demonstrou que a educação é uma ferramenta eficaz no tripé educação-saúde-meio ambiente.

Brazil has the largest electricity market in South America and has the largest capacity for water storage in the world. However, the recent economic growth in Brazil has resulted in a strong demand for expansion and modernization of the nation's electric infrastructure. In order to meet these needs, power companies are increasingly looking for Information Technology (IT) solutions that can ensure more efficiency in their business. Moreover, new regulatory rules directly impacts the way companies should acquire, maintain and report information about concession areas, and demand the modernization of companies' information systems. This paper presents a corporate IT solution developed in our Labs to the Sao Francisco's Hydroelectric Company (CHESF), a unit of Brazil's state-run power utility that generates and transmits electric power to all of the cities in the northeast of Brazil. This project aimed to facilitate the monitoring of concession areas to meet a new normative resolution that establishes particular procedures to be followed by the concessionaires for collecting and maintaining georeferenced information in the granting areas of hydroelectric plants, including all properties around the explored reservoirs. The main aim of monitoring reservoirs and their surrounding areas is to prevent the occurrence of undesired events of land-use or water-use, such construction of buildings and aquaculture; and undesired environmental events, such as fish mortality and water contamination by waste. Our solution provides means of managing different types of information about the properties located within the monitored area; comprises a mobile application that helps collect in-loco information about events; and provides a GIS-based module to facilitate the access and management of georeferenced information.
