The Central-West region has been highlighted as the largest agricultural center in the country, accounting for 42% of national grain production. Goiás State represented an amount of 18.9 million tons in the last harvest. Despite the large production, a problem which affects the negotiations and the quality of the harvested grains is storage. A static capacity of 20% higher than grain production is recommended. The objective of this work was to evaluate the storage capacity of grains in the State of Goiás and their respective mesoregions using a comparison with the agricultural production of the Center-West region. The deficit in the static storage capacity of grain in Goiás for the 2016/17 harvest was 25.17% in relation to grain production, since the recommended amount for safe storage is 20% higher than production, which indicates the need for a 45.17% increase in the State’s static storage capacity to supply the demand for products throughout the year and to support the producers so that they can be competitive in the domestic and international markets in the commodity negotiations. Public policies to support the creation and expansion of storage are necessary, since the investment made in the structures is high and the return of spending is not immediate.

Grain storage basically consists of collections of regional or national productions in order to store the production for a specific period, with specific objectives such as waiting for a more affordable price or preventing the attack of pests, fungi or even moisture gain , with the aim of preserving the quality of the grains. To guarantee the quality of these grains, factors such as storage and transportation are fundamental within the logistics process of agricultural production. Paraná participates directly in the agricultural economic development, so data were collected based on a survey on grain production in the state of Paraná in the databases of the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento e Cadastro Nacional de Unidades de Abastecimento. In this way, the objective of this article is to make an analysis about the current static storage capacity of grains in the state of Paraná. In the year 2019, the static storage capacity is 29,789,778 thousand tons, showing a deficit of 7,310,222 thousand tons of grain. As for the distribution of the warehouses, it is observed that the mesoregions of the West of Paraná and of the North Central, assume the leadership of regions with greater static capacity of the state of Paraná. Thus, it can be concluded that the static storage capacity of the state of Paraná does not accompany the production growth, presenting a deficit of 24.53% in the static storage capacity of grains in the 2018/2019 harvest.

Evaluation is widely acknowledged as a powerful means of improving the quality of education. The introduction of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) is considered as one of the major steps taken in this regard to improve and strengthen the quality of learner evaluation. The state of Kerala has been going through a series of educational reforms over the last decade or so and the introduction of CCE in the state is one among them. As emphasized by Kerala Curriculum Framework (2007) the implementation of new evaluation practices focusing on CCE was introduced right from primary to secondary level. Though the state has made all-out efforts to implement CCE in its true spirit, the questions that remain unanswered are that whether CCE has been actually and effectively implemented in all classes, what problems are being faced by teachers while implementing CCE. The present paper is a brief attempt made in this regard and is directed towards answering these questions and giving suggestions for the same. The study has been conducted on teachers of upper primary government schools of Kerala.

The way the researcher groups his research data will influence the result of his work. In the literature, this phenomenon is treated as a Problem of the Modifiable Areal Unit. The objective of this article was to analyze the three spatial levels by Municipalities, Regional Centers and Mesoregions using the following data: gross domestic product, effective agricultural production, grain production and gross value of agricultural production for the state of Paraná-Brazil in the period since 2012 until 2015. The methodological procedure studied data from the Paranaense Institute for Economic and Social Development of the above-named variables collected on the website of the Paranaense Institute for Economic and Social Development of the 399 municipalities, 23 regional centers and 10 mesoregions. The results found show the presence of the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem, presenting different results for each level of grouping. The study revealed the problem of the modifiable areal unit is a relevant occurrence and it should be disregarded by researchers who work with clusters of spatial data in their studies. The results found allow a better understanding of the scale effect and demonstrate the efficiency of spatial analysis in socioeconomic data.

Millet is one of the main grasses used for summer cultivation, however, one of the problemsinvolving pasture formation in Brazil is the variation in the quality of the seeds of commercial forage species, and this has compromised the establishment of pastures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical and physiological characteristics of millet seeds commercialized in different regions of the State of Santa Catarina, in the 2014/2015 harvest. Seventeen lots of millet seeds of BRS 1501 from different commercial establishments and regions (Far West, West, Midwest, North and South) ofthe State of Santa Catarina were used. The physical and physiological quality of seed lots was evaluated. The germination of the analyzed lots, independently of the region, was in accordance with the current legal standards. Only the lots from the West region presented values below the legal standard of 95% for physical purity, but not differing from the others. No differences between the lots collected by region were verified for the vigor evaluations. However, it was observed that the lots presented highgermination and low emergence, being characterized a problem in the establishment of pastures in the field.

Improving the quality of government services in the era of globalization and digitalization is a demand for the State Civil Apparatus (SCA) to improve its performance. Employee performance is influenced by several factors such as organizational commitment, leadership style, and knowledge sharing. However, the phenomenon that exists in the field today is that the efforts made in building a sense of organization commitment, leadership style, and knowledge sharing of each SCA have not been maximized. This also happened at the Investment and One-Door Integrated Services Office (IODISO) of East Luwu Regency. For this reason, this research is expected to be able to provide solutions to the relevant agencies in improving employee performance. The three factors that have been mentioned are then measured using a questionnaire with question items in the form of a Likert scale that is submitted to each respondent. So the data obtained in the form of quantitative data. This data is then analyzed using path analysis. The analysis showed that organizational commitment and leadership style had a direct positive influence on knowledge sharing significantly. Then organizational commitment, leadership style, and knowledge sharing also have a positive direct effect on employee performance. Whereas organizational commitment and leadership style have an indirect positive influence through knowledge sharing on employee performance. This organizational commitment, leadership style, and knowledge sharing contributed to an influence of 92.1% on employee performance.

The subject of the research is state policy in supporting export of industrial and agricultural produce. The purpose of the work is to propose actions aimed at the increase of competitiveness of industrial and agricultural production and at creating mechanisms for its advancement to international markets in the context of Western sanctions intensifying and the necessity to escape raw materials based development model. To achieve these goals, new institutions for national business development are created, export oriented branches of production are developed. The amount of state participation in financing industry and agriculture development is increasing. Russian Export Center has been organized. It supports in financial and nonfinancial way Russian companies that are ready to raise the competitive advantages of their production and to enter foreign markets. It is concluded that due to the actions that the state puts into practice to fulfill complicated and ambitious tasks aimed at competitive recovery of home products and at increasing of non-resource exports some positive results have been achieved both in industrial and agricultural production. The results, however, are not weighty enough to dramatically change the place of Russia in international division of labor. As before, resource commodity still constitutes a significant part of export. The state policy lays special emphasis on financing branches of industry without taking into consideration their effectiveness. Financial and nonfinancial instruments are of high importance, but they should be used in the framework of a comprehensive approach. The transition to a new industrial and technical development platform, modern knowledge, technologies and innovations deployment are yet not in line with the requirements for international competiveness of domestic product.

An attempt is made in the paper to analyze the nature of virtue of ecological sensitivity to argue for its relevance and need in the business world. Ecological sensitivity is a virtue or quality of a human being to relate himself to the environment in a protective spirit of oneness. It is not a virtue by extension from human to environment like compassion or empathy but a virtue of independent normative standing since it is argued to be equal to other personal and inter-personal virtues in the pool of virtues to live a good human life. It is further argued that since ethics is a study of values and virtues to live a good human life and business companies are a great source to sustain and improve upon the state of mankind in the world and the condition of planet earth itself, it makes sense to emphasize the need to include ecological sensitivity as a virtue in the conduct of business professionals. It also attempts to understand how the business professionals ought to interpret ecological sensitivity in and around their surroundings on a daily basis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of country-of-origin image in quality perceptions of Turkish consumers. Since the research already supports the fact that country-of-origin image reflects a consumer’s general perception about the quality of products made in a particular country and the nature of people from that country, the authors aimed to search how consistent the Turkish consumers are in perceiving some products/product groups and the countries those products are associated with. The objective is to assess the matching of perceptions of some country images and the products. Both the product-country and the country-product match information can be used to assess consumers’ purchase intentions by both marketing practitioners and the state authorities in managing country images. This study examined country-of-origin in terms of the fit between countries and product categories as perceived by a sample of 500 students/professionals in both major universities and numerous business institutions in Turkey. The findings indicated that the respondents were not consistent in associating the names of the products and the names of the countries with each other.

Grain storage has as its central objective to stock the grain, giving the producer the advantage of distributing it at the best time, thus creating a favorable and profitable market logistics. The state of Mato Grosso is the country's leader in grain production, however its competitiveness vis-à-vis the rest of the country is historically affected by the many logistical bottlenecks still present, including storage, which for years has been one of the main competitive disadvantages. Given this, data were collected based on research on grain production in the state of Mato Grosso in the IBGE and CONAB databases, with the objective of making an analysis on the current static storage capacity of grain in the state of Mato Grosso. In the year 2019, the static storage capacity is 37.808.087 tons showing a deficit of 29.565.71 tons of grains, so that the mesoregions of North and Southeast Mato Grosso lead with the largest static capacity, but still unable to meet demand.

Relata conclusões de um estudo sobre a alfabetização de jovens e adultos no Estado de São Paulo, no período de 1988 a 1991. O atendimento revelou-se irrisório em face da demanda potencial por esse serviço educativo. As políticas educacionais nas esferas federal e estadual de governo refluíram. O atendimento na suplência de 1ª a 4ª séries do 1° grau teve modesto crescimento devido às esferas estadual e municipal de governo; as matríadas no ensino privado mantiveram-se estagnadas; a participação da sociedade civil, no aspecto quantitativo, é pouco significativa. Verificou-se uma tendência à superação das ações emergenciais que caracterizaram no passado as campanhas de alfabetização de adultos, com a incorporação de um conceito mais abrangente de educação básica. O rendimento escolar é muito baixo, ainda que se observe uma tendência de melhora dos indicadores de evasão e repetência. Conclui-se que os níveis de qualidade de ensino alcançados não atingiram ainda patamares razoáveis. Abstract The article presents the conclusions of a research on litteracy among youngsters andadults in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, carried out between 1988 and 1991. The study shows that although schoolplacement inprimmary education institutions for adults and the young had a moderate increase due to initiatives at the state and municipal governement leveis, there were not enough school places in ali tofulfil the potential demandfor this educational service. Both federal and state educational policies receded. Moreover, the enrolment rates in private schools remained stagnant, and the participation of civil Society in this área was, in quantitative terms, rather insignificant. The study also demonstrated a tendencyfor the abandonment of the palliative policies like the adult litteracy campaings made in the past, and the development of a more comprehensive concept of basic education. Although a tendency for a decline of the failure and school-leaving rates could be observed, academic achievement was Still very low. The study finally concludes hat the quality of the adult basic education has not asyet reached acceptable levels.
