The objective of this paper was to analyze the Locational Quotient (LQ) for the main products forest – by the Paraná mesoregion between 2005 and 2015, such as seeds, seedlings, firewood, sawmill and laminator, cellulose, and paper, and other (pine knot, poplar, fence posts, splinters, and forest waste). The use of indicators and methods to identify the concentration of these resources and their constraints can support the design of policies more suitable for the management of available resources, as well as guide the need for investments. Also, we observed the scarcity of research using such a method (LQ) in the forest area. The period was selected according to the availability of information from the Secretariat of Agriculture and Supply (SEAB). The results indicated both positive and negative oscillations in the analyzed period. This dynamic is related to seasonal, bureaucratic, and market issues. The conclusions considered the wood production chain to interpret the results and not only the specificities of each product, given the lack of available information.

Essential Contribution

The enterprises of the forest- and wood-based industries (saw mills as interface in the wood production-chain as well as the further process levels) belong to the elements of a concept of sustainable development in the sense of the Rio Summit. Products competing within the international market, a purposeful argumentation and propagation of products and education as well as further education are important factors for the realisation of an essential contribution to a sustainable development in this field.

The Relationship

This review aims to give an overview of the most significant available information on welfare issues of Italian heavy pigs on farms. These animals, whose meat is used to produce typical products, are characterized by much higher body weights and age at slaughter (approximately 160–170 kg, and 9 months of age) than most pigs reared in Europe, resulting in peculiar behavioral and rearing-related needs. To highlight the main findings and the areas in which additional research is needed, the paper was organized by allocating the studies on the basis of the Welfare Quality four principles framework, i.e., good feeding, good housing, good health, and appropriate behavior. The results indicate the possibility of improvement with regard to the management of feeding, watering, and some environmental parameters (light, thermal comfort, enrichments) and a lack of knowledge on the actual space requirements (and a corresponding regulatory gap). Moreover, deficiencies concerning the prevalence of injuries and disease and the relationship between lesions observed post-mortem and rearing conditions needs to be addressed. Lastly, the absence of research concerning the evaluation of the emotional state of animals has been highlighted. It is hoped that these findings will, in the future, serve as a basis for the development of specific policies for these animals in order to increase the ethical value of the entire production chain, in accordance with consumers’ demand and expectation for high animal welfare standards.

Available Information

This paper analyzes the situation of the Polish pork production sector in the context of all stages of food distribution. As shown by available information, particular links of the pork supply chain changed significantly. This is true for both real (producer-processor-client) and instrumental aspects (including information transfer between sectors). The analysis also identified two worrying developments. The first one is related to the pig production structure (the decreasing number of farms does not result in a considerable increase in the production volume per farm). The other one is related to competitiveness: in Poland, the seemingly strong concentration of operators at slaughter and meat processing stages is still insufficient to face the competitive power of foreign businesses active in the increasingly liberalized agri-food market, both inside and outside the EU.

This contribution looks at the problems of bringing small, private forests into the wood production chain from an institutional theoretical perspective. This would conclude that institutional changes are inevitable. In practice, however, structures in small private forests are characterised by considerable inertia. Various approaches in New Institutional Economics are investigated to determine whether they can provide an explanation for this inertia. Explanatory power can only be developed by employing a combination of different approaches. The current extension of this theory into ideological and trading resources is equally necessary to understand the institutional change in forest management.

Planted forests have grown substantially in Brazil, especially in states such as Goias. While they may compete with native forest areas, planted forests also present themselves as economically viable solutions for the recovery of degraded areas. This study presents the market of wood in the Brazilian state of Goias analyzing the interaction between supply and demand curves of the product in a partial equilibrium analysis. In this sense, it is essential to understand the spatial issue to offer production by planning the transaction costs related to transportation. Therefore, the distribution of companies is linked to the production chain, mapped by means of labor market bases (Ministry of Labor), wood production (IBGE) and other industry data. The spatial analysis of the planted forest area (silviculture) in Goias between 2000 and 2016 was based on data from the time series, from mapping provided by the MapBiomas Project. In Goias, considering all sectors of the forest production chain, in 2015 alone, revenues exceeded US$ 1.24 billion and public collections US$ 24 million, employing more than 36 thousand people in 7 thousand firms. Thus, it is fundamental to understand this process, identifying the main determinants of planted forests, through statistical and spatial analysis. From a spatial point of view, planted forests and companies involved in wood production are relatively spread throughout the state, except for the state capital of Goiania, which has a large number of timber trade and manufacturing firms.

AbstractThe new scenario of the Rosetta mission to comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko (launch on February 2004), includes as baseline the fly-by of one or two asteroids. Several asteroids are now possible fly-by candidates (single or double) within the available resources. Other candidates whose fly-bys require a larger Δv can be also considered if the Rosetta interplanetary orbit insertion will cost less Δv.All the up to date available information on the possible targets are discussed in this report.

In this paper we present the latest CMS open data release published on the CERN Oopen Data portal. Samples of collision and simulated datasets were released together with detailed information about the data provenance. The associated data production chains cover the necessary computing environments, the configuration files and the computational procedures used in each data production step. We describe data curation techniques used to obtain and publish the data provenance information and we study the possibility of reproducing parts of the released data using the publicly available information. The present work demonstrates the usefulness of releasing selected samples of raw and primary data in order to fully ensure the completeness of information about the data production chain for the attention of general data scientists and other non-specialists interested in using particle physics data for education or research purposes.

Forestry development planning and land use planning (essay) The purpose of land use planning is to coordinate the various activities and projects which affect a given region. In many aspects, forestry development planning therefore forms part of land use planning. There is however a nuance in that this planning – limited to the sector of forest land both in content and geographically – is governed by different laws and administrative bodies. Forestry development planning must also take into account issues and decisions concerning areas beyond the forest boundaries. In particular where natural hazards, the wood production chain or important installations for leisure activities are concerned, decisions on land use management must continue to be prepared in both land use planning and forestry development planning and then integrated respectively into the other plan.

Este artigo discorre a respeito da estrutura administrativa relacionada à condução da política florestal produtiva do estado do Paraná, bem como das diretrizes que devem ser estabelecidas para a inclusão das pequenas propriedades rurais na cadeia produtiva da madeira. Buscou-se retratar a percepção dos diversos agentes que atuam ao longo da cadeia produtiva da madeira no estado do Paraná. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva baseada em dados coletados de fontes bibliográficas, assim como dos questionários aplicados aos grupos selecionados. Assim, foram considerados três grupos: a) grupo Governo (GOV), composto por 81 questionários; b) grupo não-governo (N-GOV), composto por 76 questionários; e c) grupo produtores (PROD), composto por 97 questionários. Os resultados demonstram que os grupos pesquisados consideram que a estrutura de governo que trata do segmento florestal apresenta uma característica voltada mais para as questões ambientais e ecológicas do que do ponto de vista produtivo, onde se encontram os aspectos econômicos e sociais.Palavras-chave:  Estrutura administrativa; pequenas propriedades rurais; política florestal produtiva; cadeia produtiva da madeira. AbstractProductiveforest policyandadministrative structureofinclusionofsmallrural propertiesofwoodsupply chain of the Parana State. This article aims at describing the administrative structure associated to the performance of the productive forestry policies of the State of Parana, as well as the guidelines which should be established for the small farms inclusion in the wood production chain. This was one of the objectives of a doctorate thesis presented in the Forestry Engineering Program at the Federal University o Parana, with minor in Silviculture, and within the research lines of production, provision, protection, and forestry reestablishment. This work reflects a descriptive research based on data collected from the literature, as well as from an inquiry form applied to selected groups. Three groups were, then, considered to know: a) a government group (GOV), with 81 forms; b) a non-government group (N-GOV), with 76 forms; and c) a farms group (PROD), with 97 forms, adding to 254 inquiry forms. The results showed that, under the viewpoint of the interviewed personnel, the government structure is more devoted to ecological-environmental questions than to production itself, where the economical and social aspects are found.Keywords: Administrative structure; small farms; productive forestry policy; wood production chain.

It has been observed that minute amounts of venom from the brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, are capable of producing cytotoxic changes in cultures of certain mammalian cells (Morgan and Felton, 1965). Since there is little available information concerning the effect of venoms on susceptible cells, we have attempted to characterize, at the electron microscope level, the cytotoxic changes produced by the venom of this spider.Cultures of human epithelial carcinoma cells, strain HeLa, were initiated on sterile, carbon coated coverslips contained in Leighton tubes. Each culture was seeded with approximately 1x105 cells contained in 1.5 ml of a modified Eagle's minimum essential growth medium prepared in Hank's balanced salt solution. Cultures were incubated at 36° C. for three days prior to the addition of venom. The venom was collected from female brown recluse spiders and diluted in sterile saline. Protein determinations on the venom-were made according to the spectrophotometric method of Waddell (1956). Approximately 10 μg venom protein per ml of fresh medium was added to each culture after discarding the old growth medium. Control cultures were treated similarly, except that no venom was added. All cultures were reincubated at 36° C.
