Para analisar a evolução e o desenvolvimento da área foram coletados dados bibliográficos de 113 pesquisas sobre medicina veterinária publicadas e indexadas em bases de dados internacionais. Com base nesses dados foram identificadas características da produção científica como: autores, instituições, países, temas, tipos de colaboração, que serviram para determinar alguns indicadores científicos da área estudada. Para a análise dos dados foram utilizados dois procedimentos: i) distribuição bibliométrica de Bradford, lei de Lotka e as inferências de Solla Price; ii) mapa do sistema científico mundial - adaptado, proposto por Schott. Os resultados mostraram um desenvolvimento significativo das pesquisas nos últimos 4 anos se mensuradas pelo seu fator de impacto de citações nesse período. A média ponderada do fator de impacto dos artigos publicados pelos autores mais produtivos ficou em torno de (0.739). Até 1994 o fator de impacto era nulo. Outro indicador de desenvolvimento foi o crescente índice de pesquisas feitas em colaboração com autores de países centrais, que caracteriza a internacionalização da pesquisa em medicina veterinária moçambicana. Verificou-se também que os autores moçambicanos publicaram mais em periódicos de países centrais do que nos sediados em países periféricos. De uma maneira geral foi confirmada a hipótese de que a ciência moçambicana sobretudo na área de medicina veterinária apresenta influências de países centrais.

According to UNDP (2005), the index of Mozambique’s human development ranked 172 out of 177 countries and was far below the averages of the sub-Saharan Africa and Least Developed Countries, despite considerable improvement in the indicator over the previous five years. It had been determined that 54% of the population lived below the poverty level of $1/day surviving on as little as US$0.40 per day in 2003 (UNDP, 2005). The population distribution in Mozambique remained predominantly rural; with 64% of the 21.4 million people living in the countryside. The development prospects of rural areas remained a key concern (UNDP, 2005). Development was also a key problem for me. For this study it was decided to select a specific problem, the role of the traditional leaders in development, and a special case, a traditional chief - João Mapanguelana Mondlane, nominated in 1949. Between 1960 and 1974 Mapanguelana inaugurated a settlement scheme and a cooperative in the Aldeia das Laranjeiras north of Mandlakazi in Gaza province. I selected this case because several approaches assume that the nature of the relationship between key local development actors and communities has an impact on the development conditions observed at any point in time of the rural areas. From this case study, I can conclude that the involvement of the local leaders with legitimacy and credibility in the community and modern social and administrative networks was the key point that made it possible for the Aldeia das Laranjeiras to be different from her neighbouring villages. During the colonial period the government in Mozambique recognized the significance of traditional leadership as a way to reach the people and make their rule effective and legitimate, specifically in the rural areas. After independence, the new Frelimo government banned traditional leadership and accused it of having collaborated with colonialists and of practicing exploitative actions. In 2000, the Mozambican government reversed the earlier approach, particularly in line with policies that aim at carrying out developmental projects in the districts, and established legal procedures for the nomination of community representatives. The review of the literature and the findings suggest that Mozambique followed the new trends of incorporating the traditional leadership in the rural local governance as a way to reach rural economic development. The aim of this study is to assist policy makers in developing countries especially in Africa, and more specifically in Mozambique, in focusing on the problem of involving the local leaders in the struggle to reduce poverty in the rural areas where most of the population is located Sat, 30 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.repositorio.uem.mz/handle258/812 2010-01-30T00:00:00Z http://www.repositorio.uem.mz/handle258/799 Title: Reescribiendo la narrativa: Tik Tok como herramienta para deconstruir los estereotipos sobre el África subsahariana Authors: Lázaro, Natércia Luísa Abstract: A partir del perfil de Charity Ekezie en TikTok, esta investigación explora las redes sociales como medios alternativos para hacer frente a la imagen negativa asociada a África subsahariana. La metodología empleada se basa en la triangulación de métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos, combinando el análisis de contenido, el análisis narrativo y la entrevista en profundidad. A través de una muestra de 45 vídeos del perfil de Charity Ekezie publicados entre los años 2022 y 2023, examinamos los temas, comentarios estereotipados y contenidos de mayor impacto, con el objetivo de comprender cómo Charity utiliza la plataforma como herramienta para deconstruir estereotipos en el contexto occidental. De los 45 analizados, seleccionamos 11vídeos para analizar cómo utiliza los recursos narrativos, la puesta en escena y el sarcasmo en ese proceso. Las redes sociales, especialmente TikTok ofrecen un espacio para aumentar la visibilidad de las voces africanas y construir otras visiones y significados sobre el continente africano. El sarcasmo y el humor con la que Ekezie comunica su mensaje contribuye a atraer a un público más amplio, ayuda a dar visibilidad a su perfil, así como a concienciar sobre la diversidad y la complejidad de África.

J. Abstract: Freshwater discharges from river runoff into the ocean have an important influence on the dynamics of many coastal regions. The plumes resulting from the encounter between fresh and saline waters have a variety of impacts, including changes in the availability of biological resources. Although there have been several general studies on the plume dynamics (and their relation to the rainfall), no quantitative analysis of the relationship between river plumes and its main controlling factor (i.e. the river discharge) has yet been reported. In order to establish a relationship between the river discharge and the plume size, both two-dimensional particle-tracking two-layer model and satellite ocean-colour observations were used for the Zambezi River plumes in Mozambique. The model included a random walk component, and it was run under realistic windstress and river discharge conditions. Discrete particles of freshwater released every 30 minutes, the counting of which allowed the computation of the plume size, were used to parameterize the river discharge. On the other hand, the observed plume size was estimated using the red to blue ratio of the normalized water-leaving radiation from 73 MODIS-Aqua images that spanned 5 years. The plume size obtained by these two methods was correlated with the river discharge measured at the Tete gauge station. Both model and imagery have revealed that the Coriolis deflection plays a predominant role in the dispersion patterns of the Zambezi plumes. The time lag between the river discharge and the maximum plume size was 17 days for near field plumes and 7 days for the far-field plumes. Ninety percent (90%) of the freshwater volume discharged per day was found to be diluted or dispersed in the same day. The area-runoff relation is dependent on the time of the year, and for the plumes observed in the far field during the period January-March (i.e. when the discharges are at their maximum), this relation is linear with a slope of 1.74 x10-³ s m-¹ . For the same period, the model has reproduced a similar relation with a slope of 1.73 x10-³ s m-¹ Mon, 01 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://www.repositorio.uem.mz/handle258/714 2008-09-01T00:00:00Z
