This paper focuses the silencing of voices in news production in Posadas, Argentina (Primera Edición and Territorio Digital) and Porto Alegre, Brazil, (Zero Hora and Correio do Povo), and investigates the media coverage of 2003 until 2014, in relation to the construction of two hydroelectric plants on the border between both countries, Brazil and Argentina, on the Uruguay river. The analysis indicates the absence of the riverside dwellers' voices, who are affected by the project. Finally, the article stand up for the idea journalism makes a great contribution to the discussion of environmental complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to analyze the benefits and negative effects of cane sugar in Brazil. In 2012, 9,075,388 hectares were harvested, grown in nine soils with critical humidity, 6,350 MJ m-2 year of solar energy, temperature between 30-45 ° C, precipitation between 1.500 to 2.500 mm, growth and 100 mm in plant ripening. Large areas of monoculture cause ecological instability. Infestation of crops with more than 23 species of weeds was detected. The trend is to apply integrated pest management. Harvesting takes place in the period from April to November. For the 2014-2015 harvests, burning will be prohibited in areas where sugarcane mechanized harvesting is practiced and on 2017, for the not mechanized areas. Of the total acreage, the 88.80% of the area can be harvested with machines, which allows for crop residues, between 10-20 t ha-1; this amount of waste is effective for good weed management. The yield loss caused by weeds varies from 10 to 100%; the worst weeds that infest crop residues are Cyperaceae, Poaceae and Convolvulaceae. The seeds can be transported by winds up to 1,000 km, flooding 100 km, erosion 10 km and landslide 1 km., 47 ingredients of herbicides have been registered for controlling weeds in Brazil; of which 823.20 thousand tons were applied to control agricultural pests in 2012.

This paper approaches the question: what are the factors that discriminate between positive and negative companies' performance, when in turbulent environment? Aimed in achieving this goal a study was conducted involving Brazilian companies in manufacturing industry that were active in the period comprised between 1996 to 2001, characterized by intense turbulence in national and worldwide macroeconomic scenes. A discriminant function was proposed to measure and analyze the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables, comprised by information about competitive environment, strategic orientation and economic context. As results variables risk exposition, long term debt and market share were identified as the factors that discriminate between positive and negative financial performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper approaches the research question: what are the factors that determine companies' performance, when in turbulent environment? Aimed in achieving this goal and based on a structural and nomological model proposed by Dias (2004), a study was made involving Brazilian companies of manufacturing industry that were active in the period comprised between 1996 and 2001, characterized by intense turbulence in national and worldwide macroeconomic scenes. To measure and analyze the relations between model's constructs, Partial Least Squares (PLS) method was adopted when estimating parameters. As results relations that differ in intensity and signal were identified: (a) predominance of environment influence when analyzing organizations that performed between R$10 million and R$100 million; (b) an equilibrium of factors when analyzing organizations that performed between R$100 million and R$1 billion; and (c) predominance of strategic orientation when analyzing organizations that performed greater than R$1 billion.
