FIPs are mainly governed by CVM Instruction 391 and can be used for various sectors and tax planning purposes. Notable features include a fixed maturity, different quota classes, and investment limits for pension funds.
Draft Resolution on the Promotion of Food SecurityLauren Dong
The document discusses several recommendations to improve global agriculture, education, technology, economy, structure, and market reform. It recommends that developed countries help train teachers in developing countries, donate agricultural facilities, and exchange agricultural knowledge. It also calls for curbing rising food prices, providing economic assistance, establishing early warning systems, and transitioning to more competitive food markets.
This document summarizes discussions from the GI2012 conference on open data policies. It describes how a representative from the German Federal Ministry of the Interior used the example of an "intelligent lawnmower" needing access to weather data through INSPIRE to argue for a national geoinformation strategy. However, others felt Germany does not need a new strategy, but rather more transparent, interoperable, and freely accessible public spatial data to enable better decision making. The document concludes by reiterating the view that Germany needs more open data transparency rather than a new national strategy.
This document summarizes the implementation of OGC and INSPIRE standards in a geoportal. It describes the system architecture including web clients, proxy servers, and OWS servers. It discusses challenges in displaying large WFS data, implementing filter encoding, and handling axis order in WFS 1.1.0. Patches have been proposed or implemented to address issues in OpenLayers, MapServer, and OwsLib.

This document summarizes a checklist for assessing the readiness of a spatial data infrastructure (SDI). It covers key components such as understanding spatial data holdings and requirements, developing an SDI vision and strategy, policy readiness, and collaboration. The checklist contains questions in each area to help evaluate an SDI's maturity and guide its further implementation, focusing on issues like formal information audits, stakeholder engagement, performance indicators, costs, policy details, and cross-border data sharing.
The document discusses Azul Airlines, a low-cost Brazilian airline founded in 2008. It provides an overview of the growing Brazilian airline industry, noting factors like population growth, rising GDP, an expanding middle class, and deregulation. It also provides brief biographies of some of Azul's founders and their experience with other airlines. Charts are included showing Azul's market share and the overall size of the Brazilian airline market.
The document summarizes ITC's trade information services and e-learning initiatives. It discusses setting up trade information services, developing a trade intelligence portal, training programs, and knowledge development. It provides screenshots of the trade intelligence portal being developed. It also outlines ITC's objective to create a unified e-learning platform using a modular approach and blended learning. The e-learning strategy is currently being developed and will involve a decision on the learning management system and a pilot over the summer.
Sistemas Computacionais - Transportes em Movimento (blog)ISCAP
O documento discute a evolução dos transportes desde os primórdios até a atualidade, com foco nas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação aplicadas, incluindo sistemas embarcados como GPS, cartões inteligentes, e painéis de mensagens variáveis. Também aborda novos conceitos de transporte privado e público, meios de transporte alternativos, e mobilidade colaborativa.

The document discusses integrating INSPIRE geospatial data standards with mobile devices. It describes the HABITATS project which designed environmental data and metadata models compliant with INSPIRE for themes like habitats and species distribution. The benefits of participating in INSPIRE technical working groups are outlined. Various use cases for regional and global data at different scales are examined, along with challenges of cross-border data harmonization. Basic and advanced techniques for transforming data between models are presented, including using SQL, ontologies and taxonomies. The HABITATS Reference Laboratory is introduced as a hub supporting INSPIRE data sharing and testing across pilot applications. Ideas are raised about making INSPIRE data more accessible through mobile and social applications
This document discusses using decision models as a way to capture and represent business logic and rules. It notes that traditional process models are not well-suited for situations where sequence is irrelevant. Decision models, which use decision tables and diagrams, can be applied in various areas of IT service management like event management, incident management, and change management. The document advocates using decision models alongside other frameworks like ITIL and BPM to connect business models with technical implementation.
The document discusses the Club of Ossiach, which focuses on adopting information and communication technologies (ICT) in agriculture. The Club recognizes that ICT can support rural sustainability through innovations that benefit stakeholders across agricultural supply chains. The Club also sees opportunities for ICT to enable knowledge sharing and cooperative management of environmental and risk issues. The document proposes an ICT-enabled infrastructure and advisory model to help farmers, advisors and other stakeholders work together on integrated farm management, regional solutions, and establishing a national "trust center" for open data and partnerships. The aim is to promote inclusive and sustainable agriculture through coordinated ICT adoption and knowledge sharing.
Riena is a client/server application framework based on OSGi and Eclipse RCP. It uses a tree-based navigation model and declarative XWT views. The document discusses how Riena's navigation model and dependency injection are related to the Eclipse e4 platform, and provides demos of Riena running on e4 with its navigation model and XWT views.
The document discusses human cognition, emotion, and experience. It covers four factors that influence emotional experience: external stimuli, bodily reactions, facial expressions, and reaction tendencies. Emotions are directly linked to personal experiences with objects or situations. The document also discusses whether artificial intelligence could experience or duplicate emotions like humans. It questions if accurately detecting human emotions would allow AI to simulate them as well.

LayMan is a spatial data manager that allows users to easily publish geodata layers by uploading files to a server, importing the data into a database, and configuring access rights. It provides a single entry point for the filesystem, database, and map server. Data can be published from uploaded files or existing database tables and views. Access controls allow different user groups to either manipulate published layers or just view them. The system is integrated with a Liferay portal for user and group management.
The document discusses why OSGi is dynamic. OSGi allows bundles and services to be installed, started, stopped, updated, and uninstalled without requiring a reboot. Services can be registered and deregistered at runtime, and bundles can detect when services are added or removed to adapt accordingly. However, the dynamic nature of OSGi also means that service references can become invalid at any time and services are not guaranteed to be available, so applications need to be coded defensively to handle potential failures.
