description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2022 PortugalAuthors: Neto, Diogo Miguel Félix;Cada vez mais, os consumidores exigem empresas com negócios responsáveis e sustentáveis, estando os termos Responsabilidade Social Corporativa, Sustentabilidade e ESG na ordem do dia no mundo empresarial. Assiste-se por parte das empresas à sua incorporação, desenvolvendo estratégias de forma a integrar as preocupações mais atuais aos níveis sociais, ambientais e de governação nas suas atividades e operações. Para além das empresas puderem ajudar a mitigar estas preocupações, os investimentos nestas áreas podem trazer-lhes diversos benefícios. Este estudo pretende analisar qual a perceção dos consumidores sobre estes temas e a importância que têm para os mesmos, aplicando-se a um caso prático sobre a seguradora Fidelidade. Com base num inquérito preparado para este fim, cujas respostas eram anónimas, pretendeu-se medir a perceção atual que os consumidores têm sobre a Fidelidade e estudar as formas de aumentar a sua perceção a futuro. More and more, consumers demand companies with responsible and sustainable businesses, becoming terms such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, and ESG a part of day by day of the recent enterprise world. Those are being incorporated by enterprises, which are developing strategies to integrate the most recent concerns at social, environmental and governance levels into their activities and operations. Beyond the fact of companies might be able to mitigate these concerns, investments in these areas can reward them with several benefits. This thesis aims to analyse the perception of consumers on these themes and its importance for them, applying it to a practical case about the insurance company Fidelidade. Based on a survey designed for this purpose, whose answers were anonymous, it was evaluated the current perception that consumers have about Fidelidade, as well as it was studied how to increase their perception in the future.

Sediment samples were gathered from the margin and in center of three subsystems: Ivinheima, Paraná and Baia, in August/2001. The samples were fractionated granulometrically and separated by size (< 200 µm; 70-200 µm; > 70 µm), prepared and sent to CENA / USP, for identifying the isotopes proportions. Significant differences were detected in the isotopic ratios of the sediment only between sampling stations. The Baía channel presented the lowest delta13C values, while the highest ones were recorded in Paraná river. At this last, delta15N values were negative (-14.41‰). We did not verify significant difference in isotopic composition between the particle sizes of sediment, and between the sampling points. The main sources of carbon for the sediment were C3 macrophytes, periphyton and particulate organic carbon (POC).

E.; Henriques, M. J. A.;Climate change is bound to impact the water cycle and water availability, compounding the sustainable management of its quantity and quality. Groundwater is bound to suffer the impacts of climate change, coupled with those of land use changes, population and its lifestyles evolution. Climate change studies normaly have a 50 to 100 years horizon, which is a challenge for decision makers, who usually rely on relatively short therm data and projections to implement their management policies. BINGO Project tries to address this gap, by providing information of climate change impacts, including those of extreme events, on the water cycle for the short-tomedium term. Climate change impacts on groundwater rely on mathematical modeling, using recharge projections obtained from the climate forecasts of the Regional Climate Models set up for Europe. Sea level change is also a component of this analysis and its ensuing impacts of saltwater intrusion on the coastal and estuarine areas of Aluviões do Tejo and Bacia do Tejo-Sado/Margem Esquerda aquifers. 4p DHA/NRE

Resumo: O biodiesel e um combustível biodegradável, renovável e com menor emissão de gases poluentes do que o petrodiesel. Ele e composto por ésteres alquilícos de ácidos graxos obtidos pela transesterificação de óleos ou gorduras com um álcool de cadeia curta como o metanol ou o etanol. Os ésteres etílicos resultantes da transesterificação com o etanol ainda são pouco caracterizados. Dados de suas propriedades termofísicas e de equilíbrio de fases; que são muito importantes para o projeto, modelagem, simulação e otimização do processo de produção do biodiesel, são escassos na literatura. Neste trabalho determinaram-se dados de pressão de vapor dos ésteres laurato de etila, miristato de etila, palmitato de etila, estearato de etila, oleato de etila e linoleato de etila, e dados de equilíbrio líquido-vapor dos sistemas palmitato de etila + estearato de etila a 40 mmHg, palmitato de etila + oleato de etila a 40 e 70 mmHg e palmitato de etila + linoleato de etila a 70 mmHg. Para a determinação experimental propôs-se a utilização de uma técnica não convencional: a calorimetria exploratória diferencial ("Differential Scanning Calorimetry" - DSC). Nas analises foram utilizadas de 2-5 mg de amostra a uma taxa de aquecimento de 25 oC/min. As amostras foram colocadas em cadinhos herméticos de alumínio com um pequeno orifício na tampa ("pinhole") de 0,25 mm de diâmetro, para garantir a pressão interna constante. Para a determinação de dados de pressão de vapor, o DSC revelou-se ser uma técnica adequada e suas principais vantagens em relação as técnicas convencionais são: utilização de pequena quantidade de amostra e menor tempo de analise. Os dados de equilíbrio líquido-vapor medidos pelo DSC foram satisfatórios. Esta técnica mostrou-se restrita, não sendo adequada para a determinação do equilíbrio liquidovapor de sistemas cujos componentes apresentam grande diferença de volatilidade Abstract: Biodiesel is a biodegradable, renewable fuel with lower greenhouse gas emissions. It consists of the alkyl esters of fatty acids, obtained by the transesterification of fats and oils with a short chain alcohol such as methanol or ethanol. Ethyl esters resulting from transesterification with ethanol are poorly characterized. The thermophysical properties and phase equilibrium data involving the fatty acid ethyl esters are very important in the design, modeling, simulation, and the optimization of the production of biodiesel, are scarce in the literature. In this work was determined vapor pressure data of the esters ethyl laurate, ethyl myristate, ethyl palmitate, ethyl stearate, ethyl oleate and ethyl linoleate; and vapor-liquid equilibrium data of systems ethyl pamitate + ethyl stearate at 40 mmHg, ethyl palmitate + ethyl oleate at 40 and 70 mmHg and ethyl palmitate + ethyl linoleate ant 70 mmHg. For the experimental determination proposed the use of a non-conventional technique: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Samples of 2 to 5 mg were used in the analysis, with heating rate of 25 ?C/min. The samples were placed in hermetic aluminum crucibles with a small hole in the lid ("pinhole") of 0.25 mm diameter, which maintain a constant internal pressure. The technique of differential scanning calorimetry was shown to be appropriate to determining the vapor pressure of ethyl esters. This technique showed advantages over conventional techniques: the use of a small sample size and shorter analysis time. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data measured by DSC were satisfactory. This technique proved to be restricted and it is not suitable for determining the vapor-liquid equilibrium data of systems whose components have large difference in volatility Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Química Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos Orientador: Maria Alvina Krähenbühl Doutor em Engenharia Química Doutorado

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.euapps Other research productkeyboard_double_arrow_right Lecture 2008 PortugalPublisher:ICB Congress Secretariat, 2008 Authors: Andrade, José; Abreu, Francisco;In Mediterranean-type climates crop yield depends strongly on the early development of individual plants. Extreme variations of soil temperature close to the surface of bare soils and fast changes of soil water content due to irregular rainfall and high evaporative demand reduce the success of germination, emergence and early leaf production, reducing crop productivity. According to IPCC Fourth Assesment report, climate change in Southern Europe “is projected to worsen hygrometric and thermal conditions (high temperature and drought) and to reduce water availability” and, consequently, to decrease general crop productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thermal conditions in the top soil layer under different climate change scenarios, and their effects on the early development of some representative crops of Mediterranean agriculture (pea, broad bean, maize and sunflower). For this purpose, soil temperatures near the surface of a Luvisol and a Vertisol during the usual sowing season of winter (October) and summer crops (April) were compared to those recorded in the air above ground, to forecast future values. The impact of simulations on the speed, size and dispersion of germination, emergence and early leaf production was estimated using values of bioclimatic parameters of the crops (cardinal temperatures and thermal times for different phases of establishment) found in the literature. In both seasons, monthly mean temperatures at soil top layer were significantly greater (*P<0.05) than those found in the air above ground. However, the relationships between air and top soil temperatures were different in both soils and in both seasons. Summer crops seem to be less affected by an increase in temperature than winter crops. Otherwise, the former seem to be more affected by a decrease in soil water availability than the later. In addition, final emergence, speed of emergence and leaf production of the different species will be more affected by global warming than the dispersion around the most likely thermal times. The magnitude of these effects depends also on the magnitude of warming.

Resumo: Este trabalho parte da premissa que as tecnologias para smart grid se apresentam como oportunidade para criar um novo negócio de energia. Todos os stake-holders devem ser envolvidos, e organizados para construir ou modernizar a rede de energia em seus aspectos de qualidade, disponibilidade, infraestrutura, padronização, interoperabilidade, confiabilidade e sustentabilidade. Deve-se também buscar a consciência de uso/demanda, de renda e de entendimento dos clientes de forma adequada. Pondera-se que as estratégias governamentais, no âmbito da legislação e da regulamentação, devem ser objetivas para garantir o novo negócio e proteger o interesse público. Os consumidores (como clientes) devem ser ouvidos, tornando-se partícipes ativos no mercado de energia. Com o desenvolvimento de um relacionamento dinâmico a indústria de energia necessitará de novas condições e requisitos operacionais que devem ser criados para garantir a transformação dentro e fora do ambiente de negócios regional. Foram estudadas novas tecnologias, novas possibilidades de serviços e preços. Incentivos, bem como a evolução das normas regulatórias apareceram como fundamentais para manter e expandir o fornecimento da energia e gerenciar a demanda, com implicações na melhora do relacionamento e nos investimentos/receitas para o capital investido, que necessitam resultar na ampliação da percepção de valor da energia pelos clientes. Uma avaliação para o caso brasileiro é feita considerando-se a experiência internacional até a data e através de exemplo de aplicação em consumidores residenciais como um estudo de caso. Demonstra-se o impacto para e do consumidor doméstico nos processos de uso da energia, bem como a evolução necessária de sistemas, estratégias para que se alcance o desejado momento histórico do desenvolvimento, da reorganização do mercado de energia e da legislação/regulamentação. Em suma, a evolução do negócio de energia no Brasil é um fato que, para sua eficácia, deve ser estrategicamente planejado nos diversos âmbitos de aplicação de tecnologias e modelagem do negócio, receber incentivos e ser regulado. Questões relacionadas aos investimentos a serem realizados e o retorno destes investimentos devem ser respondidas caso a caso, segundo a realidade regional das concessões, segundo as previsões de compartilhamento de custos com os consumidores e também totalmente relacionadas com a regulamentação adotada. A possiblidade da oferta de serviços e produtos para atendimento e ampliação do espaço de atuação das concessionárias brasileiras é uma transformação necessária para seu reconhecimento como provedoras de soluções energéticas. Abstract: The smart grid technologies present themselves as opportunities to create new energy business. All stake holders must be involved, organizing, building and upgrading the power grid in its aspects of quality, availability, infrastructure, standards, reliability, interconnectivity, and sustainability. It is necessary the awareness target of supply-demand, incomes and strongly understand their clients. The Governmental strategies must be clear, with regulatory and legislative initiatives to foster new business and protect the public interest. Consumers (as clients) must be heard, as they become active players in the energy market. As they develop a dynamic relationship with the operating power industry new conditions and requirements need to be created in order to lead the strategic transformation inside and outside regional businesses. Deals on new energy sources, new technologies, new possibilities of differentials service and prices were studied. Incentives as well as the evolution of regulation rules seem a fundamental role to maintain and to expand the power supply and demand-side management, with implications for a better relationship between client-consumers, dealers and incomes/revenues on invested capital. It is also important to relate and to rethink the affordability of the tariffs and energy delivery costs to clients. An evaluation to the Brazilian market was done, considering the up to date international experiences and running an application, specially built to demonstrate the domestic consumption, as a case study. This implemented case is presented in order to demonstrate the domestic consumer impact to the energy use as well as the required evolution of systems and strategies to move on to this historical moment of development and reorganization of the energy market as well as the legislation/regulation. To sum up, evolving energy business in Brazil does not appear in this analysis merely as a possibility but as fact to be accomplished. It should be strategically planned considering the scope of a number of different technology applications, business models and be promoted by the policies agencies. Questions related to investments and their profits should be answered according to the regional energy business, as well as the consumer's participation and obviously new legislation and market regulation. Services and products to be offered by the Brazilian energy dealers should evolve correspondingly in order to improve business and recognition as energy solution providers Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Mecânica Doutor em Planejamento de Sistemas Energéticos Orientador: Gilberto De Martino Jannuzzi Planejamento de Sistemas Energéticos Doutorado

Resumo: O trabalho reportou dois métodos alternativos para determinação de íons metálicos (Na, K, Ca e Mg) em amostras de biodiesel. Tais métodos foram aplicados em amostras de biodiesel sintetisados a partir de diferentes óleos vegetais e, também, de gordura animal. Os métodos propostos utilizam, no tratamento da amostra, extração líquido-líquido em meio aquoso ácido, com aquecimento e extração assistida por ultrassom. A quantificação dos íons metálicos é feita por cromatografia de íons (Na, K, Ca e Mg) e por fotometria de chama (Na, K). Uma melhor separação cromatográfica dos íons Na, K, Ca e Mg foi obtida quando se empregou como eluente uma solução mista de ácido dipicolínico 1,7 mmol L com HNO3 2,5 mmol L. Para o método empregando cromatografia de íons, os limites de detecção (LD) e os limites de quantificação (LQ) foram respectivamente: 0,28 e 0,83 mg kg (Na); 0,38 e 1,13 mg kg (K); 0,41 e 1,22 mg kg (Ca); 0,29 e 0,86 mg kg (Mg). Os desvios padrão relativos dos valores encontrados foram menores do que 18,6 %. A exatidão do método foi avaliada através de teste de recuperação, com resultados entre 88,45 e 109,8 %, e por comparação dos dados obtidos por ICP OES. O teste t-Student e o teste¿F mostraram que ambos os métodos apresentaram resultados equivalentes em termos de exatidão e precisão. Na fotometria de chama, os valores de LD e LQ, foram respectivamente: 0,6 e 1,8 mg kg (Na); 0,4 e 1,4 mg kg (K). A recuperação obtida foi de 92,1 % para Na e de 103,6 % para K. Na comparação dos teores dos íons Na e K fornecidos pelo procedimento que usa fotometria de chama com aqueles provindos da cromatografia de íons, não foi observada diferença significativa entre os resultados, ao nível de confiança de 95%, tanto no que se refere à exatidão como à precisão. A simplicidade, exatidão, precisão e custo relativamente baixo dos métodos propostos sugerem que podem ser boas alternativas para a determinação dos íons metálicos (Na, K, Mg e Ca) em amostras de biodiesel Abstract: In this work reports two alternative methods for the quantitation of metallic ions (Na, K, Mg e Ca) in biodiesel samples. The proposed methods were applied to biodiesel that were synthesized from different vegetable oils and also animal fat. The proposed method uses water extraction, heating and ultrasound. The quantitation of the ions was performed using ion chromatography (Na, K, Mg e Ca) and flame photometry (Na, K).The best chromatographic separation of the cations (Na, K, Ca e Mg) was observed when a solution containing dipicolinic acid (1.7 mmol L) plus nitric acid was used (2.5 mmol L). For the method with ion chromatography, the limits of detection (LOD) and of quantitation (LOQ) were respectively: 0.28 and 0.83 mg kg (Na); 0.38 and 1.13 mg kg (K); 0.41 and 1.22 mg kg (Ca); 0.29 and 0.86 mg kg (Mg). The relative standard deviations of the obtained values were smaller than 18.6 %. The accuracy was determined through recovery procedures, with presented results between 88.45 and 109.8 %, and also by comparison with the data obtained from ICP-OES. The Student.s t-test and the F-test showed that both methods presented equivalent results in with respect to accuracy and precision. In the case of flame photometry the LD and LQ values were respectively: 0.6 and 1.8 mg kg (Na); 0.4 and 1.4 mg kg (K). The observed recoveries were 92.1 % for Na and 103.6 % for K. In the comparison between the set containing the results obtained for Na and K with flame photometry with that came from ion chromatography, it was not observed significant difference at the 95% confidence level, both with respect to accuracy as well to precision. The simplicity, accuracy, precision and relative low cost of the proposed methods suggest that they are interesting alternatives for the quantitation of metallic ions (Na, K, Mg and Ca) in biodiesel samples Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Química Orientador: Matthieu Tubino Doutor em Ciências Química Analítica Doutorado

Nesta dissertação de mestrado, as espécies de microalgas descritas pela literatura como produtoras de matérias graxas foram cultivadas em condições fotossintéticas e avaliadas pelo estudo da correlação entre a produto de biomassa e a produção de biodiesel. Nesta etapa, a produção mássica das gorduras e análise qualitativa dos lipídeos produzidos das diferentes espécies foram os fatores determinantes para escolha da microalga com potencial para produção de biodiesel. Uma vez definida a espécie com maior potencial de exploração (melhores parâmetros de conversão de biomassa em materiais graxos, rendimento e produtividade), a composição dos materiais graxos foi determinada para estudo da compatibilidade ao perfil desejado para produção de biodiesel, bem como a qualidade final do biodiesel produzido para cada espécie estudada Abstract: The objective of the dissertation was to evaluate the potential of production of greases by microalgae in processes of carbon sequestration and the quality of biodiesel produced by the biomass produced. The microalgae biomass was produced in reactors, bubble column, based on synthetic culture media, under the initial cell concentration 100mg.L-1, isothermal reactor operating at temperatures of 35 °C, light intensities of 11klux and continuous aeration of 1VVM with injection of air contaminated with 15% carbon dioxide. In this master's thesis of microalgae species described in the literature as producers of raw grease were grown under photosynthetic and evaluated by the study of the correlation between biomass production and the production of biodiesel. In this step, the mass production of fats and qualitative analysis of lipids produced from different species were the determining factors for selection of microalgae with potential for biodiesel production. After determining the species with the highest potential for exploitation (best parameters for conversion of biomass materials in acids, yield and productivity), the composition of fatty material was determined to study the compatibility of the desired profile for biodiesel production and the final quality biodiesel produced for all species Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Química Orientador: Telma Teixeira Franco, Eduardo Jacob Lopes Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos Mestre em Engenharia Química Mestrado

Resumo: O aquecimento global é um dos mais sérios problemas ambientais da atualidade, gerando uma crescente preocupação com o meio ambiente. Dentre as possíveis formas de redução da concentração de dióxido de carbono, um dos causadores desse fenômeno, está a fixação biológica de CO2 podendo ocorrer em fotobiorreatores alimentados com culturas de cianobactérias. Nesse sentido, através de uma colaboração com a refinaria de Paulínia, o estudo teve por objetivos avaliar o potencial dos efluentes líquidos da indústria petroquímica como meio de cultivo da cianobactéria Aphanothece microscópica Nägeli e determinar modelos de crescimento celular e consumo de dióxido de carbono. Os testes envolveram diferentes diluições do efluente líquido em água destilada (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%) e diferentes suplementações de sais de BGN no efluente líquido (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%), visando avaliar o crescimento celular do microorganismo. Os resultados demonstraram que a limitação de nutrientes no efluente afetava significativamente os resultados de aumento celular necessitando da adição de 25% sais. Esses dados também foram analisados em função de modelos de crescimento (Gompertz, Gompertz Modificado, Logístico, Morgan, Baranyi) sendo o melhor ajuste encontrado com o modelo Gompertz Modificado. Também foram simulados valores de produtividade em função de cultivo em regime contínuo revelando máxima produtividade aproximada de 1,41kgbiomassa/Lreator em 1000h de operação com uma fixação de 2,61kgCO2/Lreator. O consumo de dióxido de carbono foi avaliado em experimentos realizados apenas com meio BGN e tiveram como finalidade avaliar parâmetros como taxa máxima de consumo de CO2, constante de saturação da biomassa e constante de inibição, sendo aplicados modelos de consumo de substrato (Webb, Aiva, Yano & Koga, Andrews, Chen e Ierusalinsky) para analisar os resultados e definir a condição de melhor concentração de biomassa para promover uma elevada fixação biológica de CO2. O modelo de Andrews foi escolhido para representar esse processo de consumo de CO2 pela facilidade no uso e significado físico de seus parâmetros indicando a possibilidade de se obter 3,00gbiomassa.L-1.h-1 e máxima taxa de retenção de CO2 na forma de biomassa de 2,67gCO2.L-1.h-1 mostrando a potencialidade de uso desse sistema em processos de fixação biológica de dióxido de carbono. Abstract: Actually, global warming is one of the most serious environmental problems in the planet, because of it, the concerns with the environment have increased. Among the possible ways to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, one of the responsible for this phenomenon, is the biological fixation of CO2, which can occur in photobioreactor feed with cyanobacteria cultures. Accordingly, through collaboration with Paulinia's refinery, this study had the objective to evaluate the petroleum industry wastewater as a culture medium to cyanobacteria Aphanothece microscopica Nägeli and to determine growth and CO2 consumption models. The tests involved different dilutions of wastewater in ditilled water (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%) e different supplementation of salts of BGN (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%), to evaluate the development of the microorganism. The results showed that the nutrients limitation in the wastewater significantly affected cell growth requiring addition of 25% salts. These data were also analyzed in terms of growth models (Gompertz, modified Gompertz, Logistic, Morgan, Baranyi) and de better fit was found with the modified Gompertz model. Continuous cultivations was simulated and revealed a maximum productivity about of 1.41 kgbiomass / Lreactor at 1000h of operation with a setting of 2.61 kgCO2/Lreactor. The consumption of carbon dioxide was evaluated in experiments realized with BGN and have the objective of measure parameters such as maximum rate of CO2 consumption, biomass saturation constant and inhibition constant, been applied substrate consumption models (Webb, Aiva, Yano & Koga, Andrews, Chen and Ierusalinsky) to analyze the results and define the position of better concentration of biomass to promote a high biological fixation of CO2. The model of Andrews was chosen to represent this process of consumption of CO2 by the ease of use and physical meaning of its parameters indicating the possibility of obtaining 3.00 gbiomass.L-1.h-1 and the retention rate of 2.67 gCO2.L-1.h-1 showing the potential use of this system in processes of biological fixation of carbon dioxide.

Abstract: The goal in this work is to develop a model proposal to analyze the factors which indicate the competitive positioning of an organization and which impact the competitiveness of organizations. In the purposes of this thesis, these factors are known as competitiveness critical and they are worked through the processes of knowledge development and the conduction of sustainability and innovation process, in a way to aim at the competitiveness of organizations. Thus, we will suggest a way to add value to several organizations, so that they can find a common denominator in terms of technology sustainability, local in the beginning and global afterwards. This is a work which includes the various stages of knowledge development process, technology innovation and sustainability for competitiveness, in a way that the integration of all the critical factors of competitiveness assumes paramount importance. One of the aspects of this work is to show how the multiple channels are constituted as a solid structure able to leverage the organization for growth and self-sustaining business development. The model has been developed and then confronted with the market through a survey research, maintaining as reference the indoor scenario of an organization. The model aims to articulate a correlation between the critical factors of competitiveness and competitiveness in the indoor scenario of an organization Resumo: Este trabalho tem por objetivo desenvolver uma proposta de modelo para análise dos fatores que indicam o posicionamento competitivo de uma organização e que impactam a competitividade das organizações.

description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Master thesis 2022 PortugalAuthors: Neto, Diogo Miguel Félix;Cada vez mais, os consumidores exigem empresas com negócios responsáveis e sustentáveis, estando os termos Responsabilidade Social Corporativa, Sustentabilidade e ESG na ordem do dia no mundo empresarial. Assiste-se por parte das empresas à sua incorporação, desenvolvendo estratégias de forma a integrar as preocupações mais atuais aos níveis sociais, ambientais e de governação nas suas atividades e operações. Para além das empresas puderem ajudar a mitigar estas preocupações, os investimentos nestas áreas podem trazer-lhes diversos benefícios. Este estudo pretende analisar qual a perceção dos consumidores sobre estes temas e a importância que têm para os mesmos, aplicando-se a um caso prático sobre a seguradora Fidelidade. Com base num inquérito preparado para este fim, cujas respostas eram anónimas, pretendeu-se medir a perceção atual que os consumidores têm sobre a Fidelidade e estudar as formas de aumentar a sua perceção a futuro. More and more, consumers demand companies with responsible and sustainable businesses, becoming terms such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, and ESG a part of day by day of the recent enterprise world. Those are being incorporated by enterprises, which are developing strategies to integrate the most recent concerns at social, environmental and governance levels into their activities and operations. Beyond the fact of companies might be able to mitigate these concerns, investments in these areas can reward them with several benefits. This thesis aims to analyse the perception of consumers on these themes and its importance for them, applying it to a practical case about the insurance company Fidelidade. Based on a survey designed for this purpose, whose answers were anonymous, it was evaluated the current perception that consumers have about Fidelidade, as well as it was studied how to increase their perception in the future.

Sediment samples were gathered from the margin and in center of three subsystems: Ivinheima, Paraná and Baia, in August/2001. The samples were fractionated granulometrically and separated by size (< 200 µm; 70-200 µm; > 70 µm), prepared and sent to CENA / USP, for identifying the isotopes proportions. Significant differences were detected in the isotopic ratios of the sediment only between sampling stations. The Baía channel presented the lowest delta13C values, while the highest ones were recorded in Paraná river. At this last, delta15N values were negative (-14.41‰). We did not verify significant difference in isotopic composition between the particle sizes of sediment, and between the sampling points. The main sources of carbon for the sediment were C3 macrophytes, periphyton and particulate organic carbon (POC).

E.; Henriques, M. J. A.;Climate change is bound to impact the water cycle and water availability, compounding the sustainable management of its quantity and quality. Groundwater is bound to suffer the impacts of climate change, coupled with those of land use changes, population and its lifestyles evolution. Climate change studies normaly have a 50 to 100 years horizon, which is a challenge for decision makers, who usually rely on relatively short therm data and projections to implement their management policies. BINGO Project tries to address this gap, by providing information of climate change impacts, including those of extreme events, on the water cycle for the short-tomedium term. Climate change impacts on groundwater rely on mathematical modeling, using recharge projections obtained from the climate forecasts of the Regional Climate Models set up for Europe. Sea level change is also a component of this analysis and its ensuing impacts of saltwater intrusion on the coastal and estuarine areas of Aluviões do Tejo and Bacia do Tejo-Sado/Margem Esquerda aquifers. 4p DHA/NRE

Resumo: O biodiesel e um combustível biodegradável, renovável e com menor emissão de gases poluentes do que o petrodiesel. Ele e composto por ésteres alquilícos de ácidos graxos obtidos pela transesterificação de óleos ou gorduras com um álcool de cadeia curta como o metanol ou o etanol. Os ésteres etílicos resultantes da transesterificação com o etanol ainda são pouco caracterizados. Dados de suas propriedades termofísicas e de equilíbrio de fases; que são muito importantes para o projeto, modelagem, simulação e otimização do processo de produção do biodiesel, são escassos na literatura. Neste trabalho determinaram-se dados de pressão de vapor dos ésteres laurato de etila, miristato de etila, palmitato de etila, estearato de etila, oleato de etila e linoleato de etila, e dados de equilíbrio líquido-vapor dos sistemas palmitato de etila + estearato de etila a 40 mmHg, palmitato de etila + oleato de etila a 40 e 70 mmHg e palmitato de etila + linoleato de etila a 70 mmHg. Para a determinação experimental propôs-se a utilização de uma técnica não convencional: a calorimetria exploratória diferencial ("Differential Scanning Calorimetry" - DSC). Nas analises foram utilizadas de 2-5 mg de amostra a uma taxa de aquecimento de 25 oC/min. As amostras foram colocadas em cadinhos herméticos de alumínio com um pequeno orifício na tampa ("pinhole") de 0,25 mm de diâmetro, para garantir a pressão interna constante. Para a determinação de dados de pressão de vapor, o DSC revelou-se ser uma técnica adequada e suas principais vantagens em relação as técnicas convencionais são: utilização de pequena quantidade de amostra e menor tempo de analise. Os dados de equilíbrio líquido-vapor medidos pelo DSC foram satisfatórios. Esta técnica mostrou-se restrita, não sendo adequada para a determinação do equilíbrio liquidovapor de sistemas cujos componentes apresentam grande diferença de volatilidade Abstract: Biodiesel is a biodegradable, renewable fuel with lower greenhouse gas emissions. It consists of the alkyl esters of fatty acids, obtained by the transesterification of fats and oils with a short chain alcohol such as methanol or ethanol. Ethyl esters resulting from transesterification with ethanol are poorly characterized. The thermophysical properties and phase equilibrium data involving the fatty acid ethyl esters are very important in the design, modeling, simulation, and the optimization of the production of biodiesel, are scarce in the literature. In this work was determined vapor pressure data of the esters ethyl laurate, ethyl myristate, ethyl palmitate, ethyl stearate, ethyl oleate and ethyl linoleate; and vapor-liquid equilibrium data of systems ethyl pamitate + ethyl stearate at 40 mmHg, ethyl palmitate + ethyl oleate at 40 and 70 mmHg and ethyl palmitate + ethyl linoleate ant 70 mmHg. For the experimental determination proposed the use of a non-conventional technique: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Samples of 2 to 5 mg were used in the analysis, with heating rate of 25 ?C/min. The samples were placed in hermetic aluminum crucibles with a small hole in the lid ("pinhole") of 0.25 mm diameter, which maintain a constant internal pressure. The technique of differential scanning calorimetry was shown to be appropriate to determining the vapor pressure of ethyl esters. This technique showed advantages over conventional techniques: the use of a small sample size and shorter analysis time. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data measured by DSC were satisfactory. This technique proved to be restricted and it is not suitable for determining the vapor-liquid equilibrium data of systems whose components have large difference in volatility Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Química Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos Orientador: Maria Alvina Krähenbühl Doutor em Engenharia Química Doutorado

Extreme variations of soil temperature close to the surface of bare soils and fast changes of soil water content due to irregular rainfall and high evaporative demand reduce the success of germination, emergence and early leaf production, reducing crop productivity. According to IPCC Fourth Assesment report, climate change in Southern Europe “is projected to worsen hygrometric and thermal conditions (high temperature and drought) and to reduce water availability” and, consequently, to decrease general crop productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thermal conditions in the top soil layer under different climate change scenarios, and their effects on the early development of some representative crops of Mediterranean agriculture (pea, broad bean, maize and sunflower). For this purpose, soil temperatures near the surface of a Luvisol and a Vertisol during the usual sowing season of winter (October) and summer crops (April) were compared to those recorded in the air above ground, to forecast future values. The impact of simulations on the speed, size and dispersion of germination, emergence and early leaf production was estimated using values of bioclimatic parameters of the crops (cardinal temperatures and thermal times for different phases of establishment) found in the literature. In both seasons, monthly mean temperatures at soil top layer were significantly greater (*P<0.05) than those found in the air above ground. However, the relationships between air and top soil temperatures were different in both soils and in both seasons. Summer crops seem to be less affected by an increase in temperature than winter crops. Otherwise, the former seem to be more affected by a decrease in soil water availability than the later. In addition, final emergence, speed of emergence and leaf production of the different species will be more affected by global warming than the dispersion around the most likely thermal times. The magnitude of these effects depends also on the magnitude of warming.

Resumo: Este trabalho parte da premissa que as tecnologias para smart grid se apresentam como oportunidade para criar um novo negócio de energia. Todos os stake-holders devem ser envolvidos, e organizados para construir ou modernizar a rede de energia em seus aspectos de qualidade, disponibilidade, infraestrutura, padronização, interoperabilidade, confiabilidade e sustentabilidade. Deve-se também buscar a consciência de uso/demanda, de renda e de entendimento dos clientes de forma adequada. Pondera-se que as estratégias governamentais, no âmbito da legislação e da regulamentação, devem ser objetivas para garantir o novo negócio e proteger o interesse público. Os consumidores (como clientes) devem ser ouvidos, tornando-se partícipes ativos no mercado de energia. Com o desenvolvimento de um relacionamento dinâmico a indústria de energia necessitará de novas condições e requisitos operacionais que devem ser criados para garantir a transformação dentro e fora do ambiente de negócios regional. Foram estudadas novas tecnologias, novas possibilidades de serviços e preços. Incentivos, bem como a evolução das normas regulatórias apareceram como fundamentais para manter e expandir o fornecimento da energia e gerenciar a demanda, com implicações na melhora do relacionamento e nos investimentos/receitas para o capital investido, que necessitam resultar na ampliação da percepção de valor da energia pelos clientes. Uma avaliação para o caso brasileiro é feita considerando-se a experiência internacional até a data e através de exemplo de aplicação em consumidores residenciais como um estudo de caso. Demonstra-se o impacto para e do consumidor doméstico nos processos de uso da energia, bem como a evolução necessária de sistemas, estratégias para que se alcance o desejado momento histórico do desenvolvimento, da reorganização do mercado de energia e da legislação/regulamentação. Em suma, a evolução do negócio de energia no Brasil é um fato que, para sua eficácia, deve ser estrategicamente planejado nos diversos âmbitos de aplicação de tecnologias e modelagem do negócio, receber incentivos e ser regulado. Questões relacionadas aos investimentos a serem realizados e o retorno destes investimentos devem ser respondidas caso a caso, segundo a realidade regional das concessões, segundo as previsões de compartilhamento de custos com os consumidores e também totalmente relacionadas com a regulamentação adotada. A possiblidade da oferta de serviços e produtos para atendimento e ampliação do espaço de atuação das concessionárias brasileiras é uma transformação necessária para seu reconhecimento como provedoras de soluções energéticas. Abstract: The smart grid technologies present themselves as opportunities to create new energy business. All stake holders must be involved, organizing, building and upgrading the power grid in its aspects of quality, availability, infrastructure, standards, reliability, interconnectivity, and sustainability. It is necessary the awareness target of supply-demand, incomes and strongly understand their clients. The Governmental strategies must be clear, with regulatory and legislative initiatives to foster new business and protect the public interest. Consumers (as clients) must be heard, as they become active players in the energy market. As they develop a dynamic relationship with the operating power industry new conditions and requirements need to be created in order to lead the strategic transformation inside and outside regional businesses. Deals on new energy sources, new technologies, new possibilities of differentials service and prices were studied. Incentives as well as the evolution of regulation rules seem a fundamental role to maintain and to expand the power supply and demand-side management, with implications for a better relationship between client-consumers, dealers and incomes/revenues on invested capital. It is also important to relate and to rethink the affordability of the tariffs and energy delivery costs to clients. An evaluation to the Brazilian market was done, considering the up to date international experiences and running an application, specially built to demonstrate the domestic consumption, as a case study. This implemented case is presented in order to demonstrate the domestic consumer impact to the energy use as well as the required evolution of systems and strategies to move on to this historical moment of development and reorganization of the energy market as well as the legislation/regulation. To sum up, evolving energy business in Brazil does not appear in this analysis merely as a possibility but as fact to be accomplished. It should be strategically planned considering the scope of a number of different technology applications, business models and be promoted by the policies agencies. Questions related to investments and their profits should be answered according to the regional energy business, as well as the consumer's participation and obviously new legislation and market regulation. Services and products to be offered by the Brazilian energy dealers should evolve correspondingly in order to improve business and recognition as energy solution providers Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Mecânica Doutor em Planejamento de Sistemas Energéticos Orientador: Gilberto De Martino Jannuzzi Planejamento de Sistemas Energéticos Doutorado

Resumo: O trabalho reportou dois métodos alternativos para determinação de íons metálicos (Na, K, Ca e Mg) em amostras de biodiesel. Tais métodos foram aplicados em amostras de biodiesel sintetisados a partir de diferentes óleos vegetais e, também, de gordura animal. Os métodos propostos utilizam, no tratamento da amostra, extração líquido-líquido em meio aquoso ácido, com aquecimento e extração assistida por ultrassom. A quantificação dos íons metálicos é feita por cromatografia de íons (Na, K, Ca e Mg) e por fotometria de chama (Na, K). Uma melhor separação cromatográfica dos íons Na, K, Ca e Mg foi obtida quando se empregou como eluente uma solução mista de ácido dipicolínico 1,7 mmol L com HNO3 2,5 mmol L. Para o método empregando cromatografia de íons, os limites de detecção (LD) e os limites de quantificação (LQ) foram respectivamente: 0,28 e 0,83 mg kg (Na); 0,38 e 1,13 mg kg (K); 0,41 e 1,22 mg kg (Ca); 0,29 e 0,86 mg kg (Mg). Os desvios padrão relativos dos valores encontrados foram menores do que 18,6 %. A exatidão do método foi avaliada através de teste de recuperação, com resultados entre 88,45 e 109,8 %, e por comparação dos dados obtidos por ICP OES. O teste t-Student e o teste¿F mostraram que ambos os métodos apresentaram resultados equivalentes em termos de exatidão e precisão. Na fotometria de chama, os valores de LD e LQ, foram respectivamente: 0,6 e 1,8 mg kg (Na); 0,4 e 1,4 mg kg (K). A recuperação obtida foi de 92,1 % para Na e de 103,6 % para K. Na comparação dos teores dos íons Na e K fornecidos pelo procedimento que usa fotometria de chama com aqueles provindos da cromatografia de íons, não foi observada diferença significativa entre os resultados, ao nível de confiança de 95%, tanto no que se refere à exatidão como à precisão. A simplicidade, exatidão, precisão e custo relativamente baixo dos métodos propostos sugerem que podem ser boas alternativas para a determinação dos íons metálicos (Na, K, Mg e Ca) em amostras de biodiesel Abstract: In this work reports two alternative methods for the quantitation of metallic ions (Na, K, Mg e Ca) in biodiesel samples. The proposed methods were applied to biodiesel that were synthesized from different vegetable oils and also animal fat. The proposed method uses water extraction, heating and ultrasound. The quantitation of the ions was performed using ion chromatography (Na, K, Mg e Ca) and flame photometry (Na, K).The best chromatographic separation of the cations (Na, K, Ca e Mg) was observed when a solution containing dipicolinic acid (1.7 mmol L) plus nitric acid was used (2.5 mmol L). For the method with ion chromatography, the limits of detection (LOD) and of quantitation (LOQ) were respectively: 0.28 and 0.83 mg kg (Na); 0.38 and 1.13 mg kg (K); 0.41 and 1.22 mg kg (Ca); 0.29 and 0.86 mg kg (Mg). The relative standard deviations of the obtained values were smaller than 18.6 %. The accuracy was determined through recovery procedures, with presented results between 88.45 and 109.8 %, and also by comparison with the data obtained from ICP-OES. The Student.s t-test and the F-test showed that both methods presented equivalent results in with respect to accuracy and precision. In the case of flame photometry the LD and LQ values were respectively: 0.6 and 1.8 mg kg (Na); 0.4 and 1.4 mg kg (K). The observed recoveries were 92.1 % for Na and 103.6 % for K. In the comparison between the set containing the results obtained for Na and K with flame photometry with that came from ion chromatography, it was not observed significant difference at the 95% confidence level, both with respect to accuracy as well to precision. The simplicity, accuracy, precision and relative low cost of the proposed methods suggest that they are interesting alternatives for the quantitation of metallic ions (Na, K, Mg and Ca) in biodiesel samples Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Química Orientador: Matthieu Tubino Doutor em Ciências Química Analítica Doutorado

Resumo: O objetivo da dissertação foi avaliar o potencial da produto de matérias graxas por microalgas em processos de sequestro de carbono e a qualidade do biodiesel produzido pela biomassa produzida. A biomassa de microalgas foi produzida em reatores de coluna de bolhas, a partir de meios de cultivo sintéticos, nas condições de concentração celular inicial de 100mg.L-1, reator isotémico operando em temperaturas de 35°C, intensidades luminosas de 11klux e aeração contínua de 1VVM com injeção de ar contaminado com 15% dióxido de carbono. Nesta dissertação de mestrado, as espécies de microalgas descritas pela literatura como produtoras de matérias graxas foram cultivadas em condições fotossintéticas e avaliadas pelo estudo da correlação entre a produto de biomassa e a produção de biodiesel. Nesta etapa, a produção mássica das gorduras e análise qualitativa dos lipídeos produzidos das diferentes espécies foram os fatores determinantes para escolha da microalga com potencial para produção de biodiesel. Uma vez definida a espécie com maior potencial de exploração (melhores parâmetros de conversão de biomassa em materiais graxos, rendimento e produtividade), a composição dos materiais graxos foi determinada para estudo da compatibilidade ao perfil desejado para produção de biodiesel, bem como a qualidade final do biodiesel produzido para cada espécie estudada Abstract: The objective of the dissertation was to evaluate the potential of production of greases by microalgae in processes of carbon sequestration and the quality of biodiesel produced by the biomass produced. The microalgae biomass was produced in reactors, bubble column, based on synthetic culture media, under the initial cell concentration 100mg.L-1, isothermal reactor operating at temperatures of 35 °C, light intensities of 11klux and continuous aeration of 1VVM with injection of air contaminated with 15% carbon dioxide. In this master's thesis of microalgae species described in the literature as producers of raw grease were grown under photosynthetic and evaluated by the study of the correlation between biomass production and the production of biodiesel. In this step, the mass production of fats and qualitative analysis of lipids produced from different species were the determining factors for selection of microalgae with potential for biodiesel production. After determining the species with the highest potential for exploitation (best parameters for conversion of biomass materials in acids, yield and productivity), the composition of fatty material was determined to study the compatibility of the desired profile for biodiesel production and the final quality biodiesel produced for all species Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Química Orientador: Telma Teixeira Franco, Eduardo Jacob Lopes Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos Mestre em Engenharia Química Mestrado

Resumo: O aquecimento global é um dos mais sérios problemas ambientais da atualidade, gerando uma crescente preocupação com o meio ambiente. Dentre as possíveis formas de redução da concentração de dióxido de carbono, um dos causadores desse fenômeno, está a fixação biológica de CO2 podendo ocorrer em fotobiorreatores alimentados com culturas de cianobactérias. Nesse sentido, através de uma colaboração com a refinaria de Paulínia, o estudo teve por objetivos avaliar o potencial dos efluentes líquidos da indústria petroquímica como meio de cultivo da cianobactéria Aphanothece microscópica Nägeli e determinar modelos de crescimento celular e consumo de dióxido de carbono. Os testes envolveram diferentes diluições do efluente líquido em água destilada (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%) e diferentes suplementações de sais de BGN no efluente líquido (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%), visando avaliar o crescimento celular do microorganismo. Os resultados demonstraram que a limitação de nutrientes no efluente afetava significativamente os resultados de aumento celular necessitando da adição de 25% sais. Esses dados também foram analisados em função de modelos de crescimento (Gompertz, Gompertz Modificado, Logístico, Morgan, Baranyi) sendo o melhor ajuste encontrado com o modelo Gompertz Modificado. Também foram simulados valores de produtividade em função de cultivo em regime contínuo revelando máxima produtividade aproximada de 1,41kgbiomassa/Lreator em 1000h de operação com uma fixação de 2,61kgCO2/Lreator. O consumo de dióxido de carbono foi avaliado em experimentos realizados apenas com meio BGN e tiveram como finalidade avaliar parâmetros como taxa máxima de consumo de CO2, constante de saturação da biomassa e constante de inibição, sendo aplicados modelos de consumo de substrato (Webb, Aiva, Yano & Koga, Andrews, Chen e Ierusalinsky) para analisar os resultados e definir a condição de melhor concentração de biomassa para promover uma elevada fixação biológica de CO2. O modelo de Andrews foi escolhido para representar esse processo de consumo de CO2 pela facilidade no uso e significado físico de seus parâmetros indicando a possibilidade de se obter 3,00gbiomassa.L-1.h-1 e máxima taxa de retenção de CO2 na forma de biomassa de 2,67gCO2.L-1.h-1 mostrando a potencialidade de uso desse sistema em processos de fixação biológica de dióxido de carbono. Abstract: Actually, global warming is one of the most serious environmental problems in the planet, because of it, the concerns with the environment have increased. Among the possible ways to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, one of the responsible for this phenomenon, is the biological fixation of CO2, which can occur in photobioreactor feed with cyanobacteria cultures. Accordingly, through collaboration with Paulinia's refinery, this study had the objective to evaluate the petroleum industry wastewater as a culture medium to cyanobacteria Aphanothece microscopica Nägeli and to determine growth and CO2 consumption models. The tests involved different dilutions of wastewater in ditilled water (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%) e different supplementation of salts of BGN (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%), to evaluate the development of the microorganism. The results showed that the nutrients limitation in the wastewater significantly affected cell growth requiring addition of 25% salts. These data were also analyzed in terms of growth models (Gompertz, modified Gompertz, Logistic, Morgan, Baranyi) and de better fit was found with the modified Gompertz model. Continuous cultivations was simulated and revealed a maximum productivity about of 1.41 kgbiomass / Lreactor at 1000h of operation with a setting of 2.61 kgCO2/Lreactor. The consumption of carbon dioxide was evaluated in experiments realized with BGN and have the objective of measure parameters such as maximum rate of CO2 consumption, biomass saturation constant and inhibition constant, been applied substrate consumption models (Webb, Aiva, Yano & Koga, Andrews, Chen and Ierusalinsky) to analyze the results and define the position of better concentration of biomass to promote a high biological fixation of CO2. The model of Andrews was chosen to represent this process of consumption of CO2 by the ease of use and physical meaning of its parameters indicating the possibility of obtaining 3.00 gbiomass.L-1.h-1 and the retention rate of 2.67 gCO2.L-1.h-1 showing the potential use of this system in processes of biological fixation of carbon dioxide.

Abstract: The goal in this work is to develop a model proposal to analyze the factors which indicate the competitive positioning of an organization and which impact the competitiveness of organizations. In the purposes of this thesis, these factors are known as competitiveness critical and they are worked through the processes of knowledge development and the conduction of sustainability and innovation process, in a way to aim at the competitiveness of organizations. Thus, we will suggest a way to add value to several organizations, so that they can find a common denominator in terms of technology sustainability, local in the beginning and global afterwards. This is a work which includes the various stages of knowledge development process, technology innovation and sustainability for competitiveness, in a way that the integration of all the critical factors of competitiveness assumes paramount importance. One of the aspects of this work is to show how the multiple channels are constituted as a solid structure able to leverage the organization for growth and self-sustaining business development. The model has been developed and then confronted with the market through a survey research, maintaining as reference the indoor scenario of an organization. The model aims to articulate a correlation between the critical factors of competitiveness and competitiveness in the indoor scenario of an organization Resumo: Este trabalho tem por objetivo desenvolver uma proposta de modelo para análise dos fatores que indicam o posicionamento competitivo de uma organização e que impactam a competitividade das organizações. Para efeito dessa tese, esses fatores são denominados críticos de competitividade e trabalhados por meio dos processos de desenvolvimento do conhecimento, da condução do processo de inovação e da sustentabilidade, visando à competitividade das organizações. Assim, será proposto um modo de agregar valor às diversas organizações, para que estas possam encontrar um denominador comum do ponto de vista da sustentabilidade tecnológica, inicialmente local e depois global. Trata-se de um trabalho que contempla as diversas etapas do processo de desenvolvimento do conhecimento, da inovação tecnológica e da sustentabilidade para a competitividade, sendo de importância capital a integração de todos os fatores críticos de competitividade. Por um lado, mostra como os vários canais se articulam como um todo sólido, capaz de alavancar a organização para um crescimento e desenvolvimento de negócios auto-sustentáveis. O modelo foi desenvolvido e depois confrontado com o mercado, por meio de uma pesquisa survey, tendo como referência o cenário interno às organizações. O modelo se propõe a articular uma correlação entre os fatores críticos de competitividade e a competitividade, no cenário interno à organização Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia Mecânica Materiais e Processos de Fabricação Orientador: Oswaldo Luiz Agostinho Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica Mestrado
