Fragilização de grandes bancos no início do Plano Real [The weakening of big banks in the beginnings of the Plano Real]

The bankruptcy of three big private banks (Econômico, Nacional and Bamerindus) in the beginning of the Plano Real has been attributed to the fast and intense growth of loan after the fall of inflation. The three banks balance sheet data, however, show a decrease in credit amount or a very small growth from July 1994 to the bankruptcy. The article defends that the problems of the three banks came from the past and were aggravated by difficulties to face the new problems created by the end of high inflation and by the restrictive economic politics in 1995.Bank bankruptcies, the Real Plan, banks and inflation, Banco Econômico, Banco Nacional, Banco Bamerindus

Analysis of Methodologies of Data Networks LAN

Currently companies offering the service implementation of data networks have seen the need to apply any methodology, the same that can be adapted to the needs of both the client and the organization and also allow direct all processes in the development of the project. However, the use and application of these methodologies aims to reduce failures due to incorrect implementation of the network, it is important to stress that these methodologies provide excellent results as long as the indicated adoption and meet customer needs. That is why the need to analyze the techniques used to implement a network, specifically a network (Local Area Network) LAN type arises; for which an analytical, bibliographical and documentary study, to obtain pertinent and relevant information within the framework of the research was conducted. In addition to the use of criteria for the evaluation of the methodology. As a result, it has been possible to demonstrate that the CISCO methodology is the most widely used thanks to its easy adaptation and implementation projects; plus, it provides a wealth of information and support to users, thereby allowing correct application of its processes

Numerical Study of Unsteady Breaking Waves Induced by a Submerged Hydrofoil at Steady Forward Speed

In this work we analyse the features of the unsteady breaking of two dimensional free surface waves induced by a submerged hydrofoil at steady forward speed. The study is conducted by means of numerical simulations with OpenFOAM: interFoam and swenseFoam solvers being used as a computational framework for the free-surface treatment with the Volume Of Fluid (VOF) and Level Set (LS) techniques respectively. Due to the strongly unsteady behaviour of the flow, the interest is here focused on the spectral content of the free surface elevation. The results from two interface-capturing methods, VOF and LS are discussed and compared with experimental data from the literature. The influence of the turbulence models on the free surface shape and spectral content is also discussed. The final goal of the entire research work is the simulation of complex two-phase flows for robust and fast engineering applications in the ship hydrodynamics and wave loads fields, including wave breaking phenomena

A review of consumer awareness, understanding and use of food-based dietary guidelines

Copyright @ 2011 Cambridge University PressFood-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) have primarily been designed for the consumer to encourage healthy, habitual food choices, decrease chronic disease risk and improve public health. However, minimal research has been conducted to evaluate whether FBDG are utilised by the public. The present review used a framework of three concepts, awareness, understanding and use, to summarise consumer evidence related to national FBDG and food guides. Searches of nine electronic databases, reference lists and Internet grey literature elicited 939 articles. Predetermined exclusion criteria selected twenty-eight studies for review. These consisted of qualitative, quantitative and mixed study designs, non-clinical participants, related to official FBDG for the general public, and involved measures of consumer awareness, understanding or use of FBDG. The three concepts of awareness, understanding and use were often discussed interchangeably. Nevertheless, a greater amount of evidence for consumer awareness and understanding was reported than consumer use of FBDG. The twenty-eight studies varied in terms of aim, design and method. Study quality also varied with raw qualitative data, and quantitative method details were often omitted. Thus, the reliability and validity of these review findings may be limited. Further research is required to evaluate the efficacy of FBDG as a public health promotion tool. If the purpose of FBDG is to evoke consumer behaviour change, then the framework of consumer awareness, understanding and use of FBDG may be useful to categorise consumer behaviour studies and complement the dietary survey and health outcome data in the process of FBDG evaluation and revision.This study is funded by the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme (contract no. 036196)

A high resolution wind&wave forecast model chain for the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea

DHI (Danish Hydraulic Institute) and HyMOLab (Hydrodynamics and Met-Ocean Laboratory of the Dept. of Engineering and Architecture of the University of Trieste) have undertaken a joint applied research project with the aim to develop a state-of-art wind-wave forecast service at mid resolution for the Mediterranean Sea and at very high resolution for the Adriatic Sea. Weather routing, civil protection, coastal engineering, oil&gas and renewable energy fields, the planning of operations at sea, ... are just few among the multiple potential applications of this service. The meteorological model used in this study is WRF-ARW, one of the most widely used state-of-the-art open-source non-hydrostatic model. Global Forecast System (GFS) dataset provides the boundary and initial conditions. MIKE21-Spectral Waves is used as wave model with resolution ranging from 0.1 to 0.03 approximately. The use of a local area meteorological model guarantees higher levels of resolution and accuracy in an area such as the Mediterranean Sea where the complex orography and coastline induce short-time/small-space weather scales. The model chain runs daily (or twice a day on demand) on the High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure of HyMOLab. The validation of the entire model chain and specifically the forecast data obtained for the sea state is continuously updated according to new available data from satellites and buoys. Anyway, a major verification of the performance of the model chain against historic data (hindcast) is almost mandatory. For this aim, we performed a multi-decade test obtaining very good statistical parameters for the entire model chain performance. In this context the hindcast dataset developed by DHI and HyMOLab consists of 35 years of hourly data for the period 1979-2013, with the same model chain. The CFSR d093.0 hourly dataset with a spatial resolution of 0.5 provides the boundary and initial conditions. The atmospheric and wave models performance is checked against six satellite datasets, missions Envisat, ERS-2, Geosat FO, Jason-1, Jason-2, Topex-Poseidon, using a moving window technique procedure. Wave data close to coast are compared with available data from more than 20 buoys. The paper describes the validation procedure adopted for the hindcasted data. Furthermore the forecast service is described too, with specific emphasis to the very high resolution adopted in the Adriatic Sea

Calibración de instrumentos de evaluación-clasificación en matemáticas en la Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano

Item Response Theory, IRT, is a valuable methodology for analyzing the quality of the instruments utilized in assessment of academic achievement. This article presents an implementation of the mentioned theory, particularly of the Rasch model, in order to calibrate items and the instrument used in the classification test for the Basic Mathematics subject at Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano. 509 responses chains of students, obtained in the june 2011 application, were analyzed with a set of 45 items, through eight case studies that are showing progressive steps of calibration. Criteria of validity of items and of whole instrument were defined and utilized, to select groups of responses chains and items that were finally used in the determination of parameters which then allowed the classification of assessed students by the test.La Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem, TRI, es una metodología valiosa para el análisis de la calidad de los instrumentos utilizados en evaluaciones de logro académico. En este artículo se presenta una implementación de la teoría mencionada, particularmente del modelo de Rasch, con el propósito de calibrar los ítems y el instrumento que se emplean en la prueba clasificatoria para la asignatura de Matemáticas Básicas en la Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano. Se analizaron 509 cadenas de respuestas de estudiantes, obtenidas en la aplicación de junio de 2011, con un conjunto de 45 ítems, a través de ocho casos de estudio que van mostrando progresivamente los pasos de la calibración. Se definieron y utilizaron criterios de validez de los ítems y del instrumento en su conjunto, para seleccionar los grupos de cadenas de respuestas y de ítems que finalmente fueron empleados en la determinación de los parámetros que permitieron luego la clasificación de los estudiantes evaluados mediante la prueba

Una experiencia de aula en torno a la representación gráfica de una función

En la escuela es frecuente que para introducir la gráfica cartesiana de la función de expresión simbólica , se parta de dicha expresión para hacer una tabla de valores, se determinen los correspondientes puntos en el plano cartesiano y se trace "una curva suave" que conecte tales puntos. En este artículo presentamos detalles de una experiencia de aula que buscaba plantear una estrategia metodológica alternativa a la ya mencionada. Somos conscientes de la necesidad de hacerle modificaciones, sin embargo creemos que darla a conocer permite a profesores colegas ver la posibilidad de tomar rutas diferentes en la enseñanza del tema. Además, nos parece importante mostrar la gran cantidad y diversidad de información relevante para aproximarse a la comprensión de los estudiantes, que pudimos acopiar a partir de sus producciones al hacer una observación directa mientras los alumnos trabajaban y también al mirar con detenimiento el trabajo escrito de ellos

Utilising implementation intentions to promote healthy eating in adolescents

Objectives: This study evaluated a school-based behaviour change intervention for adolescents to address unhealthy eating habits that may otherwise “track” into adulthood. Design: A behaviour change intervention was conducted utilising implementation intention formation (or if-then planning) for adolescents to achieve two healthy eating goals: (1) including fruit and vegetable in each daily meal, and (2) replacing unhealthy snacks with healthy choices. Methods: Participants (N = 107) aged between 16 and 18 years were randomised to intervention, active control and passive control conditions. Intervention participants formed implementation intentions for achieving the healthy eating goals; participants in the active control condition completed health-related tasks; and passive control participants read health information. Eating habits and intentions were measured at baseline and 5-month follow-up. Results: Findings showed that the intervention was not effective in achieving the healthy eating goals. Conclusions: Our findings give some indication that implementation intentions alone may not be a powerful enough means of changing eating behaviour in this age group. We reflect in detail upon the elements of the intervention that may have prevented its success in changing behaviour, for example, its failure to raise motivation, and the target of potentially unsuitable self-regulatory goals. We also discuss our findings, for example, on forming multiple plans and the role of intentions, within the context of current literature
