Master Thesis Território usado e a produção de patentes na região nordeste do Brasil: a relevância das instituições de ensino e pesquisa(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-07-29) Costa, Jorge Magno da Silva; Barbosa, Jane Roberta de Assis; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8424-5237; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7545246014722591; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6628684062340339; Fernandes, Ana Cristina de Almeida; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3262670232283121; Lima, Fernanda Laize Silva de; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4385-815X; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0898506556348162; Anjos, Max Wendell Batista dos; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6394-1324; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2730146407492791; Nonato Júnior, Raimundo; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3685-6631; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2778825855162912The technical-scientific-informational environment has been shaped by the efforts of countries to stand out in the field of Science, Technology, and Innovation, with patent grants emerging as a means to ensure the commercial exploitation of their creations. In Brazil’s Northeast Region, this process is marked by significant territorial implications and the persistence of socio-spatial inequalities. This dissertation aims to understand how higher education and research institutions in the Northeast use the territory to foster technological innovation, taking patent production from 1990 to 2023 as its reference. Grounded in Milton Santos’ theory of geographic space and the concept of the Territorial Innovation System, the research proposes the hypothesis that a STI exists in the region, in which public institutions are the main actors. These institutions function not only as geographic fixities and technical objects that generate knowledge flows but also as key players in forming strategic partnerships that enhance regional innovation capacity. However, this system reflects a dialectical dynamic between technological advancement and the persistence of inequalities. The methodological procedures are structured into five stages: bibliographic and documentary review; collection of secondary data from governmental and institutional sources; analysis of innovation policies and regulatory documents; collection of primary data through fieldwork, questionnaires, and interviews; and the production of visual materials such as maps and graphs. The findings reveal a selective use of the Northeastern territory, with patenting activities concentrated in public universities located in cities with a denser innovation technosphere. Despite existing inequalities, the STI nordestino demonstrates relevant outcomes, expressed in patent grants, the contributions of local researchers, and the formation of cooperative networks.Doctoral Thesis Território, política e planejamento: as Transferências Voluntárias da União como estratégia de gestão do território(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-08-28) Paz, Diego Tenório da; Nonato Júnior, Raimundo; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3685-6631; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2778825855162912; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2286410846761614; Tavares, Edseisy Silva Barbalho; Théry, Hervé Émilien René; Barbosa, Jane Roberta de Assis; Sampaio, Maria Lúcia PessoaGeographic phenomena can be understood through the analysis of territorial configuration and social relations. As a geographical phenomenon, Union Voluntary Transfers (TVU) contribute to the constitution of the territorial configuration, its scope reaching the national scale, with effects on the various national entities and entities, the projects and resources used materialize in the municipalities, with this, they enable infrastructures in various areas of public interest. The political relationship involved in the process of planning, defining and allocating resources is fundamental to understanding the topic. At the national level, resources are concentrated on the southeast-northeast axis. In Rio Grande do Norte, TVU, in the period from 2008 to 2022, totals 2.6% of all resources allocated by the Union to subnational entities. In the period analyzed, the state of RN brought together objects in the areas of urban infrastructure, health, education, social assistance, water infrastructure, security, technical assistance and culture. In the process related to TVU, the role of standards is fundamental, given the rules for distribution, release and use of resources. The thesis has the general objective of understanding the territorial configuration of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, based on the implications of the objects installed in the territory of Rio Grande do Norte resulting from the Voluntary Transfers of the Union (TVU). For the organization and analysis of the data, we present a geographic categorization, which considers the fixed fixed, circulating fixed and non-fixed categories of the set of TVU objects in the Rio Grande do Norte territory. The results of the research indicate that the Voluntary Transfers of the Union have their origin composed of territorialities and produce new territorialities, altering the logic between materiality and use of the territory since its distribution is not only different, but also selective and unequal, with the Union acting as a municipal agent, in the exercise of a territorial management strategy.Master Thesis Construções identitárias do k-Pop e suas manifestações territoriais em Natal (RN)(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2024-02-26) Xavier, Maxwell Cavalcanti; Dozena, Alessandro; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9910-5715; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1811716812760920; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2232092803975266; Morais, Hugo Arruda de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9546392459265148; Ó Filho, Antônio Carlos Queiroz doKorean Pop Music, better known as K-Pop, is a musical style that had its ascendancy in the 1990s, brought by Hallyu or Korean Wave. The identity of a group of people who socially perform a certain musical genre – in this case K-Pop – reverberates directly in the territories in which they experience their experience. The general objective of this research is to analyze how the K-Pop phenomenon is territorialized in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, given the identity relationship of the K-Pop scene in urban space. The methodology is structured on a theoretical basis, in which I understand the concept of territory that is worked on by authors such as Souza (2000) and Silva (2013), cyberspace by Silva (2013), sociality with Maffesoli (1998) and Lemos (2002), identity developed by Hall (2005) and Crozat (2016), corporeality with Santos (1996) and Dozena (2016) and music scene with Vasconcellos (2011); and methodological procedures, which is divided into moments: in the first moment of developing the dissertation, bibliographic research was carried out. Afterwards, there was immersion in the field, from the perspective of participant observation, when I started to follow the spaces where K-Pop fan groups socialize in Natal, including parks, squares and events focused on Korean music - with greater emphasis on for events related to Asian culture. Semi-structured interviews were carried out based on a set of questions that guided data collection. In parallel, the netnography methodology was carried out, with the aim of understanding the territorial demarcations exercised by the K-Popper music scene in the digital space. These moments assumed a central role in the research, since there was contact and collection of empirical data related to the phenomenon, seeking to obtain information about individuals and the community in a profound way. In a third moment, the collected data was analyzed, dialoguing directly with the chosen theories and concepts. In the first chapter of the development entitled “The flourishing of Korean pop: The genesis of K-Pop and its diffusion in Brazil”, I seek to present the structuring of the musical style in South Korea, as well as the beginning of the spatialization process in Brazil and the main Korean music events in the country. In the second chapter called “In the virtual environment, style flourishes: relationships between cyberspace and k-poppers in Rio Grande do Norte”, the main digital spaces used by fans of South Korean music and the main relationships established by members of the musical community that reside in Christmas. The last chapter of the development “The capital of Rio Grande do Norte and its many faces: socio-spatial dimensions of K-Pop in Natal”, discusses the main relationships established by K-poppers in the city of Natal, as well as the identity relationships promoted by the group.Master Thesis Macrossistema hídrico e os seus efeitos no território de Jati, Ceará(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2023-10-27) Pereira, Jeremias Rocha; Barbosa, Jane Roberta de Assis; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8424-5237; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7545246014722591; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1975312302623309; Medeiros, Sara Raquel Fernandes Queiroz de; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0712-6135; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5457263655417572; Nobre, Francisco Wlirian; Silva, Rafael Pereira da; Silva, Silvana Cristina daDoctoral Thesis Relação solo, clima e uso agrícola no território do Rio Grande do Norte(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-08-31) Silva, Cleanto Carlos Lima da; Troleis, Adriano Lima; Locatel, Celso Donizete; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7006-1480; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2047387364725653; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8830982074139789; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0377-1567; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7952717008269140; Albuquerque, Edu Silvestre de; Farias, Juliana Felipe; Rodrigues, Leandro Paiva do Monte; Macedo, Yuri MarquesIn the last decades, there was an incorporation of technical contents in the agrarian systems of Rio Grande do Norte, aiming to expand the production of fruit growing. Despite the technical implementation, agricultural activities still depend on the natural factors of the land to satisfy their needs, especially in areas that have low insertion of these contents. Thus, it is important to understand how environmental aspects are spatialized within the territory and the importance of these aspects for the physiological processes of each species. From this reasoning, we start from the analysis of three cultures grown in the state: pineapple, banana and cashew, chosen for the economic importance of each one in the territory of Rio the state and for their technical differences used in their development. Thus, the central objective of this research is to analyze the spatialization of pineapple, banana and cashew crops in the territory, taking into account the relationship of environmental characteristics with edaphic factors, as well as the potential for expansion of these crops, from existing land stocks and techniques incorporated in the territory. To achieve this objective, a literature review was carried out associated with the use of secondary data, to understand the spatialization of environmental aspects and selected crops and generate the mapping of land stock areas in geomorphological units where crops are already practiced. Primary data collections were also carried out, such as soil samples in the field and physical and chemical analyzes in the laboratory. This data, used and generated, through statistical procedures, enabled the creation and application of an index called Environmental Quality Index for Agriculture (IQAPA in Portuguese), with the purpose of classifying land stocks for agricultural suitability. As a result, it was found that the selected land stock areas correspond to a total area of 7,782,493 km², which are susceptible to the practices of the crops highlighted in the research. Of this total, for the pineapple crop, 82.89% were classified as excellent and 17.11% were classified as good. For the banana crop, 0.51% were classified as regular, 98.48% as good and 1.01% as excellent. For cashew, 10.85% of the lands are classified as regular, 78.22% as good and 10.93% as excellent. Such information makes it possible to subsidize agricultural development programs for Rio Grande do Norte, providing the best use of suitable land and regional development.Doctoral Thesis Circuito espacial de produção têxtil e especializações territoriais produtivas no nordeste brasileiro(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2022-09-15) Azevedo, Igor Rasec Batista de; Azevedo, Francisco Fransualdo de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2719998085102847; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5684468139330688; Barbosa, Jane Roberta de Assis; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8424-5237; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7545246014722591; Silva, Anieres Barbosa da; Suberviola, Enrique Viana; Galvão, Maria Luiza de MedeirosThe spatial circuit of textile production expresses capillarity throughout practically the entire national territory. In terms of spatial distribution of the activity, the Concentrated Region stands out, which, as suggested by the nomenclature itself, has the highest technical density and concentration of firms, followed by the Northeast region. In this one, the topology of the textile space circuit presents peculiarities, especially after the remarkable proliferation that occurred, especially in the last two decades - noting, however, that this expansion is not recent and carries marks arising from the shocks faced throughout its historical evolution. -space. Thus, the work on screen analyzes the spatial circuit of textile production in the Brazilian Northeast, from its productive specializations and the contradictions expressed by the corporate use of the territory, in terms of the dimensions of technique, capital and work. In view of the problematization outlined in this thesis, it is conjectured that this productive spatial circuit, in the established cut, materializes through territorial specializations that are coordinated by a corporate use of an extraverted character, whose control is exercised externally by devices of appropriation of the process of circulation of capital, as well as the alienation of the production process. These devices of capital accumulation conform to forms and norms, among which the technical-informational densities, fiscal and financial mechanisms, as well as the expropriation and exploitation of the workforce stand out. For the delimitation of the object and achievement of the specific objectives, the techniques and methodological procedures of bibliographic, documentary and field research were established. The theoretical framework permeates a general discussion about geographic space as a totality and the approach of productive spatial circuits from the point of view of a political economy of the territory in Santos (2008a, 2008b, 2012a, 2012c), Moraes (1984), Marx (2011) , 2017), Harvey (2013) and Castillo and Frederico (2010); as well as based on the categories of socio-spatial training and territorial division of labor (SANTOS, 1977b, 2005, 2008e, 2012a; SERENI, 2013; BARRIOS, 2014, GOLDENSTEIN; SEABRA, 2011; RIBEIRO, 2003; SILVEIRA, 2010b) to reflect on the development of the northeastern region (ANDRADE 1970, 1981a and 1988; ARAÚJO, 2002; OLIVEIRA, 1977). In the historical-spatial contextualization built, three periods of evolution of the Northeastern textile activity were identified: the agrarian roots of the spatial circuit of textile production; the gestation of “internal domination”; and the peripheral insertion to the informational technical-scientific environment. The methodology and analysis used resulted in a typology and a topology of textile subcircuits, whose spatial overlap conforms to sixteen productive territorial specializations, distributed in certain points or patches of the Brazilian Northeast. Finally, the flows entangled by the Northeastern textile production from its main spaces of circulation were problematized, correlating them to the circles of cooperation in space and to complementary circuits.Doctoral Thesis Território, reforma agrária e reprodução ampliada do capital no Rio Grande do Norte(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2020-12-18) Lima, Leandro de Castro; Locatel, Celso Donizete; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2047387364725653; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2657210531886042; Salvador, Diego Salomão Cândido de Oliveira; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5656990960651016; Zaar, Mirian Hermi; ; Santos, Núbia Dias dos; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5506227828682179; Nonato Júnior, Raimundo; ; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2778825855162912Access to land, linked to changes in the land and to political and productive structure in the countryside, is a prime condition for providing peasant social reproduction. However, the Agrarian Reform Policy that has been implemented in Brazil, and especially in Rio Grande do Norte, since 1985, presents a contradictory process that reflects the characteristics of the capitalist mode of production, reinforcing monopolization in the use of the territory. Our hypothesis is based on the assumption that the State's action directed towards the Agrarian Reform Policy does not take place outside the logic of the movement of capital, boosting, above all, processes of formal expropriation of labor from capital based on the subjection of land rent, in which capital dominates all sectors downstream and upstream of peasant production, as well as through real subordination, with the direct appropriation of the peasant labor force, extracting surplus value when carrying out ancillary work, subjecting them to a logic other than their way of life, in addition to the appropriation of absolute income, in view of the increased demand for land for expropriation purposes. In this sense, this thesis aims to analyze the contradictions derived from the stemming of the National Agrarian Reform Policy in Rio Grande do Norte, emphasizing the implications of the use and monopolization of the territory, and as this policy contributes to the expanded reproduction of capital, the from the process of peasant subordination. From a theoretical point of view, we rely on the concepts and categories anchored in the work of Professor Milton Santos, seeking to operationalize the analysis of geographic space through the concept of norm, territory and his notion of used territory, associated with the perspective of monopolization of the territory undertaken by Amin and Vergopoulus (1977) and Oliveira (1991, 2001, 2007), in addition to the forms of capital reproduction theorized by Martins (1981; 1996; 2000). In methodological terms, we collected and tabulated data from the land collection (2014) for the elaboration of graphs and cartographic products, in order to represent the analyzed settlements and the various themes researched in the field. We also conducted interviews with peasants farms in settled, in order to identify the conditions and circumstances of life, production, work and forms of subordination to capital, in addition to some managers of the INCRA Superintendence of Rio Grande do Norte (SR19), which enabled us to understand the actions of state management in the context of Agrarian Reform, as well as to raise the price of expropriations in the settlement processes. As a result, we found that the right to land, via agrarian reform, even representing an achievement for the peasant class, does not always enable its emancipation and social reproduction, due to the contradictory actions of the State in the implementation of the Agrarian Reform Policy, which have ensured the monopolization of the territory and peasant subordination to capital, in addition to little altering the land structure in Rio Grande do Norte, not breaking with the logic of the binomial Latifúndio / Minifúndio and that of the dynamics and agricultural use of the territory, given the infeasibility of peasant social reproduction of fully and autonomously.
