A fábrica de deuses: o universo e sua função essencial na filosofia de Henri Bergson
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-01-30) Luiz, Rauan de Oliveira; Marques, Silene Torres; https://lattes.cnpq.br/4822141288006918; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9901853989139178
The last sentence of Les deux sources de la morale et de la religion, Henri Bergson’s lattermost great writing, defines the universe as “a machine of making gods”. This thesis — although it was announced after a diligent consideration of the religions and of the mysticism — is not, however, a conclusion derived solely from this mentioned analysis. The image of the universe as a factory of making gods, as we intend to demonstrate, was already developed in L’évolution créatrice, and the conclusions obtained in this essay, published in 1907, are what sustain Bergson’s conception of universe. Nevertheless, identifying its essential function is something that L’évolution créatrice could not have made completely and neither would Les deux sources de la morale et de la religion if its origin were not in the preceding work.
Last mile deliveries of e-commerce orders: a cross analysis of consumers' ans carriers' perceptions.
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-01-30) Costa, Débora Grassetti Martins da; Vieira, José Geraldo Vidal; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2068340476477363; Silva, João Eduardo Azevedo Ramos da; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3823047207711289; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9917842648669980
The evolution of e-commerce has triggered a true revolution in the market. Due to that, the increase of deliveries changed the urban freight pattern flows and vehicles’ traffic in the cities. These changes have consequences in technological, economic, environmental and social aspects. It is important to highlight that the adoption of good practices and strategies in e-commerce last mile distribution can influence positively the society in general. According to the literature, there is a high potential to use new technologies in the last mile to increase the customer experience, reduce costs, increase security, and support city environmental when delivering e-commerce purchases. Therefore, the aim of this study is to diagnose the e-commerce last mile delivery evaluating new technology solutions proposed by the literature and considering the perceptions from customers and e-commerce carriers. The used method was survey questionnaires applied to consumers and carriers in order to get different perceptions between them in São Paulo city. This region was chosen due to its relevance in the Brazilian demand and complexity in last mile delivery related to productivity, security and urban mobility. Customers and carriers consider more relevant performance and convenience aspects in relation to e-commerce delivery. However, carriers have a greater concern than customers with the points of infrastructure and environment. Demographic and risk data from São Paulo were also analysed and the results support the strategy definition to have pick up points being used to delivery e-commerce purchases in the São Paulo city, predominantly in the most distant areas of the city center.
Fatores determinantes de adoção de sistemas de integração lavoura-pecuária-floresta no estado de São Paulo
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2020-01-30) Bernardo, Roberto; Vinholis, Marcela de Mello Brandão; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5730999136286305; Souza Filho, Hildo Meirelles de; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3740950346967524; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3134952588923370
Agribusiness has contributed to the trade balance surplus and has been fundamental in the growth of the Brazilian Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, the major challenge for agribusiness is to increase agricultural production and at the same time conserve the natural resources involved. Concern for a more sustainable rural production in the economic, social and environmental perspectives has been the focus of many discussions. Production systems that integrate livestock and crop, including tree components, have been suggested as a sustainable option. Even though it is a relatively familiar alternative for cattle ranchers, the adoption of these systems is still low. The specific and distinct way in which ranchers use their resources and their capacities are suggested as possible determinants of the adoption and diffusion of new technologies. However, there are still few analyzes about these determinants for the adoption of integration systems, especially through the approach of resource-based vision and ordinary and dynamic capabilities. Given this context, the following question is presented as the research problem: what are the determining factors for the adoption of integration systems with agricultural, livestock and forestry activities in the state of São Paulo? Therefore, the objective is to identify the determining factors for the adoption of these systems in the state of São Paulo locus. The research started from the literature review that allowed to build a conceptual model, whose main axis is composed by the characteristics of the producers and the rural properties. The literature review, theoretical and empirical, also allowed the identification of the main determinants and their variables, essential for the formulation of the hypotheses to be tested. In the second stage of the research, a field research was applied in a sample of 175 rural producers adopters and non-adopters of the integration systems. The results obtained from the analyses allowed us to identify that the adoption of integration systems depends on the objectives and strategic choices of the rural producers. The resource-based view, through the characterization of rural properties, has allowed us to identify available resources, physical and human, relating them to the decision of producers to adopt integration systems. Through the characteristics of farmers, we realized that the decision to adopt or not a new technology can be determined by factors such as producer profile, which encompasses education, experience, skills and abilities. The results obtained from descriptive and multiple correspondence analyzes and multinomial logistic regression, indicate that Integrated crop-livestock system adopters have properties with flat land, areas greater than 300 hectares, greater numbers of tractors and planting equipment, herds greater than 330 heads, greater availability of labor and are located close to the market, grain drying and storage services. They have characteristics of greater experience with agriculture, greater participation in cooperatives and technical events and receive more technical visits. Integrated Livestock-Forest system adopters, on the other hand, have properties with more sloping, smaller land, less machinery and labor, are located far from the market and grain drying and storage services. In addition, they have less experience with agriculture, less participation in cooperatives and technical events and receive less technical visits. These results can contribute to a better understanding of the adoption and diffusion of new technologies in the field and, consequently, collaborate for regional development and for productive sustainability.
