Nesse artigo são caracterizados os assentamentos localizados na região Sudoeste do Estado de Mato Grosso, abordando os aspectos sociais, econômicos e produtivos dos assentados. O tema escolhido apresenta uma particularidade, pois quando se fala de economia no Mato Grosso são abordados os latifúndios e as questões voltadas ao agronegócio. Esse estudo teve como objetivo diagnosticar as atividades socioeconômicas e produtivas realizadas nos assentamentos da região Sudoeste mato-grossense, visando à geração de informações que contribuam para o seu fortalecimento, o acesso às políticas públicas e a geração de emprego e renda. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados foram a pesquisa exploratória, bibliográfica e levantamento de dados secundários. Os resultados mostraram que a base econômica dos assentamentos pauta-se na pluriatividade, com comercialização de excedentes. Organizam-se em grupos como forma de fortalecimento da produção e comercialização. Recebem assistência técnica dos sindicatos municipais, de órgãos não governamentais e outras instituições. Concluiu-se que apesar da incipiência de infraestrutura e investimentos, que fomentem ações para a melhoria das condições de vida, as famílias assentadas têm conseguido permanecer e sobreviver na terra conquistada, por meio de estratégias de sobrevivência criadas no processo de consolidação dos assentamentos, como é o caso dos grupos ligados a associações, sendo essa forma alternativa para continuar sua vida no campo, encontrando sua função na economia local.ABSTRACTIn this article are characterized the settlements located in the southwest region of the State of Mato Grosso, addressing the social, economic and productive aspects of the settlers. The theme chosen presents a particularity, because when we talk about economics in Mato Grosso are covered the land and agribusiness issues. This study aimed at diagnosing the socio-economic and productive activities carried out in the settlements in the southwest region of Mato Grosso, aimed at generating information that will contribute to its strengthening, the access to public policies and the generation of employment and income. The methodological procedures adopted were exploratory research, and secondary data collection. The results showed that the economic base of the settlements is guided on pluriativity, with marketing of surpluses. Organize in groups as a way of strengthening of production and marketing. Receive technical assistance from the municipal unions, non-governmental agencies and other institutions. It was concluded that despite the effects of infrastructure and investments, to promote actions for the improvement of living conditions, families settled have managed to stay and survive on Earth conquered by means of survival strategies created in the process of consolidation of settlements, as is the case of groups linked to associations, being this alternative way to continue their life in the country, and its role in the local economy.

Nesse estudo, analisa-se a influência da formação técnica na atuação do técnico apicultor para a construção de conhecimentos e tecnologias nas comunidades rurais pesquisadas. Este trabalho é o recorte de pesquisa mais ampla, em desenvolvimento no âmbito do Doutorado Interinstitucional (DINTER PPGTE/UTFPR-UFPI) do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Tecnologia e Sociedade, da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná e da Universidade Federal do Piauí, intitulada de “CORRELAÇÕES ENTRE O TRABALHO DOS TÉCNICOS EM APICULTURA E AS COMUNIDADES RURAIS PESQUISADAS DA MICRORREGIÃO DE SÃO RAIMUNDO NONATO: (CO)CONSTRUÇÃO DE TECNOLOGIAS”. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, tendo recorte temporal 2014-2016. A pesquisa adota a perspectiva teórico-metodológica do materialismo histórico dialético e está apoiada em análise documental e bibliográfica, entrevistas com egressos e visitas de campo às comunidades pesquisadas em que se realizaram observação direta, registros fotográficos e entrevistas narrativas. Apresenta-se neste texto, dadas as limitações de espaço, somente o cenário da pesquisa no município de Dom Inocêncio/PI, por ser um dos maiores municípios pesquisados do sudeste do Piauí e um dos locais em que os técnicos apicultores efetivamente trabalham em suas próprias comunidades. Analisou-se os dados produzidos fundamentado pela técnica de análise de conteúdo, proposta por Bardin (2016).  Organizou-se a produção de dados no eixo temático intitulado de: “Conexões entre tecnologia, tecnologia social e coconstrução de tecnologias”. Neste sentido, constata-se construções de tecnologias sociais devido à assessoria técnica prestada na comunidade rural Vazante, em Dom Inocêncio/PI, como também um aumento significativo na produção de mel na região e a valorização de seus derivados. Essa interação, implica um retorno não somente na economia local, mas também nos processos de ensino e de aprendizado, pois as correlações efetivadas entre egressos e produtores das comunidades, possibilitam que os outros produtores rurais sejam multiplicadores desse conhecimento técnico e científico e que incorporado com os seus saberes experenciais possam ser fortes potencializadores para uma transformação individual e coletiva.   In this study, the influence of technical training on the performance of the beekeeper technician for the construction of knowledge and technologies in the surveyed rural communities is analyzed. This work is part of the broader research, under development within the scope of the Interinstitutional Doctorate (DINTER PPGTE/UTFPR-UFPI) of the Postgraduate Program in Technology and Society, at the Federal Technological University of Paraná and at the Federal University of Piauí, entitled of “CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE WORK OF BEEKEEPING TECHNICIANS AND THE SURVEYED RURAL COMMUNITIES IN THE MICROREGION OF SÃO RAIMUNDO NONATO: (CO)CONSTRUCTION OF TECHNOLOGIES”. This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research, with a 2014-2016 time frame. The research adopts the theoretical-methodological perspective of dialectical historical materialism and is supported by documental and bibliographical analysis, interviews with egresses and field visits to the researched communities in which direct observation, photographic records and narrative interviews were carried out. In this text, given space limitations, only the research scenario in the municipality of Dom Inocêncio/PI is presented, as it is one of the largest municipalities surveyed in the southeast of Piauí and one of the places where beekeeper technicians effectively work in their own communities. The data produced was analyzed based on the content analysis technique proposed by Bardin (2016).The production of data was organized in the thematic axis entitled: “Connections between technology, social technology and technology co-construction”. In this sense, there is construction of social technologies due to the technical assistance provided in the rural community Vazante, in Dom Inocêncio/PI, as well as a significant increase in the production of honey in the region and the valorization of its derivatives. This interaction implies a return not only in the local economy, but also in the teaching and learning processes, as the correlations effected between graduates and producers in the communities, allow other rural producers to be multipliers of this technical and scientific knowledge, which is incorporated with their experiential knowledge can be strong potential for individual and collective transformation.

The study aims to describe the action of entrepreneur incubators in the internationalization process, from theoretical formulations to the emergence of the incubators and their main findings in the internationalization process, in the period between 1997 and 2011. Faced with this goal, the problem was thus characterized: Could entrepreneurial actions of incubators contribute to the internationalization process of Brazilian small and micro? The methodological procedures were based on an exploratory research by means of qualitative method, which consisted of documentary analysis and secondary data. As a result, it was found out that with respect to the internationalization process, both the entrepreneurial action and the business incubators have a key role in increasing Brazilian exports. However, there is still not a very intense movement by both entrepreneurship and incubators regarding activities targeting for external market, and particularly in today’s world suffering heavy impacts due to Pandemic crises.

Unemployment in Nigeria is alarming, and the active workforce is lamenting. The oversaturation of the Nigerian labour market, the socio-economic and political policies seem to make employment a mirage, causing emotional and physical distress, and subjective feelings of social exclusion. This paper assesses the effects of unemployment and social exclusion on the emerging social vices in Nigeria. The paper uses secondary data from the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Annual Report on unemployment, and the various reported crimes and social vices attributed to unemployment and the survival strategies of the unemployed. The results show that unemployment has very damaging effects on the subjective perception of social integration, access to economic resources, mental health, life or psycho-social goal fulfilment and higher self-efficacy of the unemployed. It was discovered that social vices like fraud, drug trafficking, kidnapping, ritual killing, armed robbery, banditry, fuel-pipe vandalism, prostitution, and desperation for offshore migration among others are the survival strategies of many of the unemployed. The paper suggests social inclusive policies that will improve the socio-economic and political situation of the country, which will reduce unemployment and the emerging social vices, enhance talent re-orientation, and utilization of the youth for individual fulfilment and national productivity.

Confirmatory Analysis

As more researchers make their datasets openly available, the potential of secondary data analysis to address new questions increases. However, the distinction between primary and secondary data analysis is unnecessarily confounded with the distinction between confirmatory and exploratory research. We propose a framework, akin to library book checkout records, for logging access to datasets in order to support confirmatory analysis where appropriate. This would support a standard form of preregistration for secondary data analysis, allowing authors to demonstrate that their plans were registered prior to data access. We discuss the critical elements of such a system, its strengths and limitations, and potential extensions.

The Banking sector acts as the life blood of modern trade and economic development. Commercial banks influence, facilitate and integrate the economic activities like resources mobilization, poverty elimination, production, and distribution of public finance. The financial performance of commercial banks has great implications in the financial sector and in the country at large, and will still remain an important subject of concern by all the stakeholders in the banking industry. In the last two decades, a lot of banking innovation has taken place in order to improve commercial banks financial performance. Branchless banking which involves the use of agency banking and electronic banking channels in the distribution of banking products and services is one such innovation. This study purpose was to evaluate the effect of branchless banking on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to analyze the individual effects of agency banking and electronic banking channels on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya and the combined effect of both agency and electronic banking on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study adopted an exploratory research design. A survey of all the 42 licensed commercial banks in Kenya was done. Both primary and secondary data on branchless banking and financial performance of banks was obtained from the individual commercial banks, Central Bank of Kenya banking annual supervision reports respectively. Return on Assets (ROA) was used as the main indicator of commercial banks financial performance. The amount of investment in agency and electronic banking was used as indicator for agency and electronic banking. Data analysis was done using SPSS and STATA statistical softwares. Descriptive statistics, diagnostic tests and tests of hypothesis were done. Data was presented using tables and charts. Study findings indicated that when used in isolation; both agency and electronic banking had a significant negative effect on the financial performance of commercial banks at 5 percent significance level. However, when agency and electronic banking channels were used together as a multichannel strategy, they had a significant positive effect on bank’s financial performance at 5 percent significance level. The study recommends that for positive returns, commercial banks should invest in both agency and electronic banking as a multichannel strategy since these channels are complimentary to each other.
