Title: Três ensaios empíricos sobre crescimento econômico e meio ambiente Author: Santos, José Martins dos First advisor: Marquetti, Adalmir Antônio Abstract: This thesis presents three empirical essays on economic growth, environment and technical progress. The first uses Granger causality in panel data to explore the causal relationships between economic and environmental variables. The results show that the effects of scale and technique are the main propagating channels of the emission flow. The second chapter makes an empirical investigation of the Green Solow model using non-parametric and semi-parametric techniques. The results are consistent with the hypothesis of declining marginal productivity of capital, the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) and the convergence in emissions of CO2. However, there is no evidence of EKC and convergence in emissions of N2O and CH4. The third essay investigates the hypothesis of induced environmental change by testing Granger causality between oil price and productivity in the United States between 1949 and 2015. The results support the hypothesis of technical change induced by energy cost Publisher: Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul Type: Tese

Title: Feiras de negócios e seu potencial para desenvolvimento de relacionamento entre expositores Author: Locatelli, Débora Regina Schneider First advisor: Silveira, Marco Antonio Pinheiro da Abstract: The business fairs are spaces in which an array of companies acting in the same sector gets together with the goal to promote their products or services. Besides the exhibitors there are many other actors, such as the organizer, suppliers, sponsors, visitors, among others. The goal of this study was to analyze the contribution of business fairs to establish relationships that support joint actions among the exhibitors. The study was delimitated to metal mechanic companies that exhibit in business fairs. The research was characterized by a qualitative and exploratory approach. The data were collected by means of semi-structures interviews, done with twenty companies in the west of Santa Catarina and north of Rio Grande do Sul. The interviews were analyzed with the use of comparison, categorization and codification. The results led to the construction of a framework that presents aspects of the business fairs associated with the establishment of relationships among the exhibitors. Aspect 1 is related to the Interaction Mechanisms used to exchange information in the business fairs. As a result, it was evaluated that the formal mechanisms are: business rounds, technical lectures, opening with cocktail, events, catering, coffee break and dance. The informal ones are: visits/chats, stands observation, cards exchange, lunch/dinner, meeting outside the fair and in alternative places. Aspect 2 refers to Motivational Factors to perform joint actions among exhibitors. In this item, complement to the business, access to a strong buyer exhibitor, strengthening of the company, technology development, marketing opening, consolidation of the product in the market and financial return were found as motivational factors. The Joint Actions developed among exhibitors from their participation in business fairs, as well as identifying the integration level that exist among the companies performing the action, correspond to Aspect 3. The following joint actions performed by the exhibitors in the metal mechanic sector were identified: indication of other exhibitors, supplier prospection, potential client prospection and experience exchange (networking); dealers prospection and joint exportation (cooperation); joint participation in fairs, product development, joint sale, fusion/acquisition potential, new company (collaboration). To finish, Aspect 4 of the framework is regarding the Elements resulting from these relationships that consist in characteristics or attributes of the relation from the beginning, what is born from the relationship established among the companies. It was identified: trust, information exchange, financial return, collaboration, affinity, compromise, equity (win-win negotiation), business complement, personal relationship development and govern regulation that turned out to be an impediment to the relationships. Thus, this research constitutes a contribution to scholars and business people, since it systematizes in a framework the Aspects of business fairs associated with the establishment of relationship among exhibitors.

Title: Arquitetura e educação infantil: abordagem experiencial em um estudo de caso no norte do Rio Grande do Sul Author: Modler, Nébora Lazzarotto First advisor: Rheingantz, Paulo Afonso Abstract: The theme of this Dissertation is the architecture for Early Childhood Education environments. It seeks to reflect on which conceptions of the built environment of an Early Childhood school contribute to children development. It aims at producing design propositions for Early Childhood schools, centered on children desires and demands and on the context of the North Region of Rio Grande do Sul, in order to promote environments that act as educating agents. It is a qualitative research from a study case in a Municipal School of Early Childhood Education. Thus, based on the Experiential Approach and the Embodied Observation during the walkthrough, interviews, drawings, photographing, memory game and conversation circle, the fieldwork prioritized listening to the children and the environmental experience of the observer together with the occupants. The bibliographic review, which is aligned with Vygotsky, pointed out that children develop from the relationships and interactions built in their socio-cultural environment. The research pointed out that, although school is an adult-domain territory, children, through their interactions and games, explore creatively the environments that mark their spatial experiences. The design propositions are directed to the conception of environments which: promote interactions and games child/child, child/adult and child/environment; support comfort, motor development and ability, so that they can establish relations and educating experiences. It is expected to contribute for design conceptions of Early Childhood schools which respond better to children rights of learning and development.

Title: As fôrmas e as formas de pensar e a constituição de territórios educativos Author: Bruno, Guilherme Rodrigues First advisor: Azevedo, Giselle Arteiro Nielsen Abstract: Considering the current situation, where expectations of radical changes, whether due to environmental, economic, or political factors, are present in most analyzes and forecasts, the present Thesis seeks to situate within this context the proposal for the constitution of Educational Territories, based on a notion that can be translated as the archetype of transformation itself: magic. Such a choice is appropriate because, starting from an empirical basis developed in activities carried out with children, magic presented itself as a recurrent cognitive resource, as necessary, for the reinvention of itself in the face of changing scenarios. In this sense, it is proposed that cities and architecture have always been part of a kind of wünschelrute (magic stick), which connects the fields of the mind and the things of the world, expanding them. Thus, for the operation with the concept of Educational Territories, at the present time, a posture that is assumed as a bridge between magical and concrete thinking is taken as necessary. For the construction of this argument, two simultaneous archaeological operations are carried out, one of knowledge, and the other, urban, with the geographic section of both the city of Erechim (RS), which is singular for the purposes of such a speculative operation. In this city, located in the north of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, based on a colonial project based on the local version of Positivism, Castillism, evidence of the meeting between the Jewish kabbalah, Amerindian shamanism, and aphrodiaspore mythology can be suggested. The supports of this suggestion are different concrete aspects of morphology, topography, toponymy, and architectural landmarks, so that it becomes possible, from this reading, to reinvent the “metaphysical infrastructures” of the city. The investigation procedure of these indications takes place through a playful look, decentralized between discovery and creation, whose method derives from exploratory experiences, developed in games in an Extension Project, with elementary school students, in the same city. In this sense, the present Thesis is also about childhood, without necessarily being about children, but about the return to a magical experience of cities and ideas, as a playful and cognitive strategy for survival in the current urban context, which seems to be at the mercy of a disruptive move. Although the properly social aspects inherent to the theme are not secondary, the present Thesis traces an outline that is accompanied by fundamentals arising from philosophy, notably from currents linked to Philosophy of Mind and Ontology, as it understands that this must be the theme of the theme “ educational territories ”, today: no longer a problem exclusively of urban social policy, or of the epistemological orientation of education, but of the founding encounter of institutionalized spaces, between mind and world. In the Conclusion, the assessment of this conjunctural context is resumed, which made the work as a whole turn to the type of approach that operates. The conclusion obtained shows that the changes, especially those resulting from technological advances, are accompanied by equally sensitive changes in the flow of information, and also in all the social activities that depend on them, such as politics and education. As these are changes based on the creation of an immaterial communicational environment, cyberspace, the invention of its counterpoint, urban territories as educational means, emerges, either as resistance, adaptation, or reference for assessing changes in progress. It constitutes, therefore, the natural counterpoint to a crisis, which is not strictly educational but concerns the institutional representation of knowledge, and the metacognitive processes it engenders, the invention of forms and ways of thinking.
