The experiment was conducted at the Faculty Technology FATEC - Wilderness Center in the city of Quixeramobim - CE, and was divided into two stages. The goal of the first phase conducted from February to April 2010 was to evaluate the influence of rearing for royal jelly production and larval weight of Apis mellifera transferred. The second step was evaluated important aspects in the production of queens as the influence of the growing weight of emerging queens, their morphometric characteristics, and dry weight of their ovaries, being conducted from October 2010 to February 2011. Two apiaries were used, a small apiary that received colonies the four models used in the study: Doolittle, Orfanos with a hive, Mini-hive and Chinese, and others to support the same with 25 colonies. Colonies each received a door-frame dome domes containing 32 plastic artificial color blue, 16 in the top batten and the bottom 16. Data collection was done in two days of the week in the first phase of the trial and three days in the second stage. In the first phase, 448 transfers were performed for each larval rearing, a total of 1792 larvae transferred. In the second phase were produced in 263 colonies all the queens. The results showed no significant difference (p > 0,05) in acceptability and weight of larvae transferred, as well as in royal jelly production by growing, but there was a positive correlation between these parameters. There were also the same statistical differences and correlations for the weight of the ovaries and dry matter. The production of royal jelly dome, the weight of the queen to emerge and their morphometric measurements showed statistically significant differences (p <0.05) and Doolittle hive stood out positively on royal jelly production, while Chinese demonstrated the growing queens producing smaller and lighter. We conclude that hive Doolittle are more suitable for the production of royal jelly, since it utilizes a number higher than the domes used in this study, and re-create that Mini-hive in the production of queens.

Two oestrus and ovulation synchronization protocols (CIDR-B and OVSYNCH) were tested on 90 acyclical Girolanda heifers. The animals were distributed in three groups. Group I (n=30) was submitted to the OVSYNCH protocol, consisting of: intramuscular (IM) application of 1.0 ml gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), 2.0 ml rostaglandin F2a (PGF2a) after 7 days, 1.0ml GnRH 48h later, then timed artificial insemination (TAI) 16h after the second application of GnRH. Group II (n=30) was submitted to the CIDR-B protocol, consisting of: introduction of intravaginal CIDR-B implant and application of 2.0 ml estradiol benzoate (EB) IM, implant removal after 8 days, application of 500 UI pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and 2.0 ml PGF2a, a second IM application of BE 24h subsequently, then TAI 30h later (i.e. 54h following implant removal). Group III (n=30; control group) received no hormonal treatment. Gestation was verified ltrasonographically 35 days after the first, second and third AI. The cost-benefit ratio of each protocol was also determined: The CIDR-B protocol was most efficient in the first AI in which it was comparable to the control group in providing a near-natural oestrus quality (conception and pregnancy rates of 60% and 50%, respectively; p<0.05). In the second AI, the two treatments yielded similar pregnancy rates, but differed in conception rates (96% for CIDR-B; 76% for OVSYNCH). Thus the CIDR-B protocol was the more efficient in inducing puberty in Girolanda heifers, featuring the best conception and pregnancy rates in the first AI and considerably reducing age at first birth. It is moreover economically feasible as the implant may be reused provided apropriate care is given to hygiene and handling.

In this work we study complete minimal hypersurfaces with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature in a space form Q4(c). We prove that the infimum of the absolute value of the Gauss-Kronecker curvature of a complete minimal hypersurface in Q4(c); c ≤ 0; whose Ricci curvature is bounded from below,is equal to zero. Futher, we study the connected minimal hypersurfaces M3 of a space form Q4(c) with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature K. For the case c ≤ 0, we prove, by a local argument, that if K is constant, then K must be equal to zero. We also present a classification of complete minimal hypersurface of Q4 with K constant. Examples of complete minimal hypersurfaces which are not totally geodesic in the Euclidean space R4 and the hiperbolic space H4(c) with vanishing Gauss-Kronecker curvature are also presented.

The 5th Congress The unequal geographically development is discussed here as a condition for the reproduction of the capital in its contemporary phase, taking the action of the State as an important explanatory factor. In that sense, it is observed that the worsening of the regional inequalities in Brazil and in Bahia, starting in the 1950s, had in the governmental performance a decisive aspect, revealing a great contradiction, in the sense that, in spite of the leading class is constantly trying to combat the regional inequalities, in reality what it is doing is implementing public politics that integrate competitiveness just in certain areas.

The present study was done in the first semester of 2004 and aims to evaluate the current conditions of realty and businesses located in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil Historical Dowtown, with respect to the current projects of the municipal government, that aim at re-qualifying the downton area and to rehabilitate vacant buildings through internal reconstruction and usage ternatives, in order to increase the supply of dwellings in that area.The analysis has shown that there exists a real downtown business dynamism, however, undergoing a declining process, and that a large part of the existing buldings are relatively deteriorated, what implies the need for reconstruction, so as to favor popular and medium classes groups, as well as, to supprt maintenance and protection of the existing historical patrimony in that area.

At the moment it is assumed that the process of the desertification is the result of the combination of a considerable number of climatic, geographical, topographical, hydrological factors, edaphics, biotics that interact with the human activities negatively on the environment to different scales. This process constitutes an environmental problem of first magnitude that is accentuated and it is increased in the semi-arid areas. The floor is a very important element of the ecosystems that completes a series of environmental and socio-economic basic functions that is in turn influenced by the environmental factors. Indeed, in the same way that certain climatic changes influenced by the human activity cause the process of the desertification, the changes in the properties of the soil caused by the human interve bear mechanisms of the loss of their basic ecological functions, being a clear symptom of their degradation, of the loss of the environmental quality and of the desertification in extensive areas of the Planet. Presently work is sustained the idea that the studies dedicated to the evaluation of the degradation and the quality of the soil starting from its indicators, it is a valid methodology to characterize susceptible degraded areas to the process of the desertification, as well as to promote actions that you can help to combat it.

The Brazilian continental shelf, with about 8.000 km length, includes several climatic zones expressed in differentiated solid and liquid sediment input. Excepting the important input of sediments and nutrients from the Amazon in the North and the Prata in the South the rest of the shelf is characterized by low productivity due the reduced availability of nutrients. Considering the morphology of the bottom and fishing equipment, the shelf can be divided into two regions: north of Cabo Frio, with warm waters, irregular carbonate bottom, with fishery predominantly through long line and traps; and Southwest of Cabo Frio, with cold waters, flat bottom and fishery predominantly through fishing nets.

O trabalho “Setor Hoteleiro na Zona de Praia do Meireles – Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil” tem como discussão inicial a descoberta do litoral pela sociedade fortalezense, perpassada pelas transformações a partir da nova concepção do mar até a incorporação da atividade turística, principalmente após segunda metade da década de 1980. Portanto, o bairro que merece destaque no referido trabalho é o Meireles, por atualmente concentrar a rede hoteleira da cidade. Essa atividade é de fundamental importância para o fenômeno do turismo, pois o turista é aquele que passa pelo menos uma noite no local de destino, o que seria impossível se não fossem os hotéis, pousadas e flats. Com isso, o trabalho busca identificar esses estabelecimentos, principalmente os hotéis, por causa do grande número em um único bairro da cidade. Também merece destaque a Av. Beira-Mar do referido bairro, por concentrar os melhores hotéis de Fortaleza, bem como também pela sua função de distribuição do fluxo diário de turistas para outros municípios litorâneos.

Ao longo da planície costeira de Icapuí foi definido um complexo conjunto de unidades geoambientais originado pela interdependência evolutiva dos variados componentes morfológicos e regida pelos fluxos de matéria e energia orientados pelas flutuações do nível relativo do mar e mudanças climáticas durante o Quaternário. Para definir a integração destes componentes elaborou-se uma proposta de zoneamento geoambiental dessa planície localizada no extremo leste do Estado do Ceará, nordeste do Brasil. O principal objetivo foi o de, através dos mapas temáticos em escala de detalhe (geológico, geomorfológico, unidades de paisagens), definir as bases geoambientais para gestão planejada dos sistemas naturais. Esses resultados foram alcançados através da realização de um amplo levantamento bibliográfico, atividades em campo para o mapeamento e a utilização de imagens de satélite de alta resolução. Aliado à elaboração dos mapas temáticos e zoneamento ambiental foi possível realizar estudos quanto à dinâmica dos elementos socioeconômicos e ambientais, os quais possibilitaram a elaboração de um diagnóstico socioambiental com ênfase em áreas que foram consideradas de risco potencial. Com a definição das vulnerabilidades e potencialidades dos componentes morfológicos da planície costeira, foram agrupadas áreas relativamente homogêneas e sugeridas medidas de gestão para melhoria da qualidade ambiental e vida das comunidades litorâneas. Esses resultados alcançados fazem parte do projeto “De Olho na Água” desenvolvido pela Fundação Brasil Cidadão em parceria com o Programa de Pós-graduação em Geografia da UFC com o apoio do Programa Petrobras Ambiental e da Fundação Cearense de Apoio ao desenvolvimento científico e Tecnológico (Funcap).

The economic activities provoke to the environment some alterations that for they possess not market prices, they are not generally taken in consideration when it is analyzed those activities. Thus, in this work it was looked for to present some techniques of environmental valuation when it is not had complete information of the market, as well as to approach that forms the dear environmental values they can be incorporate in the economic analyses contributing like this to the conservation of the goods and environmental services. However, only the fact of esteeming those monetary values is not enough for the conservation of the environment. It is necessary that laws exist well specified (so that the costs incurred by the aggression are very superior to the received benefits), as well as authorities to do to execute them.

No contexto da filosofia da linguagem, a partir do pensamento de K.-0. Apel, podemos perguntar: o que tem prioridade do ponto de vista metodológico,na questão da constituição do sentido e significados linguísticos? A intencionalidade da consciência ou a pragmática da linguagem? Noutras palavras, o que é mais importante para fundamentar uma teoria dos significados linguísticos? A fixação do significado dos signos no sentido das convenções linguísticas? Ou, o significado que damos aos signos a partir das intenções pré- linguísticas da consciência? Para K.-0. Apel torna-se imposível o acesso aos fatos do mundo de forma imediata, ou num sentido pré-linguístico. Para ele não podemos conhecer "algo como algo", ou saber alguma coisa sobre os objetos do mundo sem a mediação da linguagem, ou seja, sem uma descrição proposicional do mundo. Apel irá chamar isso de o caráter de "intransponibilidade" ("Unhintergehbarkeit") da linguagem que para ele torna-se um verdadeiro "a priori", pressuposto de todo entendimento mútuo sobre os objetos do mundo. K.-0. Apel irá buscar a superação do binômio sujeito-objeto do solipsismo metódico da filosofia da consciência presente na fase sintático-semântica da "linguistic turn". Para tanto, apoiar-se-á na semiótica tridimensional de Ch. Pierce, criando o binômio sujeito­ cosujeito do discurso comunicativ o. Desloca ndo, dessa forma, a questão das [pretensões de sentido e validade dos enunciados linguísticos, bem como da verdade proposicional, para a esfera da intersubjetividade dialógica, e suas condições transcendentais de possibilidade.
