“…Using 407 women from the eastern region as research subjects, we measured 66 items of human body data using 3D anthropometric techniques [ 11 ]. The Visual Studio 2010 and OpenGL software were used to establish an interactive graphical interface to achieve free scaling of clothing prototypes and multiangle viewing of wearing effects, providing a variety of patterns for the selection of clothing texture styles and realizing tailor-made clothing services [ 15 ].…”

With the development of computer technology, information technology, and 3D reconstruction technology of the medical human body, 3D virtual digital human body technology for human health has been widely used in various fields of medicine, especially in teaching students of application and anatomy. Its advantage is that it can view 3D human anatomy models from any angle and can be cut in any direction. In this paper, we propose an improved algorithm based on a hybrid density network and an element-level attention mechanism. The hybrid density network is used to generate feasible hypotheses for multiple 3D poses, solve the ambiguity problem in pose reasoning from 2D to 3D, and improve the performance of the network by adding the AReLU function combined with an element-wise attention mechanism. Teaching students in anatomy makes students’ learning more convenient and teachers’ teaching explanations more vivid. Comparative experiments show that the accuracy of 3D human pose estimation using a single image input is better than the other two-stage methods.

“…The GVC have been used to investigate different cases of producers from developing country in their action into the external market such as garment industry (GEREFFI, 1998), fresh fruit and vegetables (DOLAN & HUMPHREY, 2000) the production and exports of leather shoes in Brazil (SCHMITZ, 1998). Besides, there are some studies about networks and cooperation and the entry of network of producers, such as clusters, into the global market (SCHMITZ, 1998;SAUVÉE, 2001;LAZZARINI et al, 2001;ZYLBERSZTAJN & NADALINI, 2007). However, the aim of this study is just identify the main requirements of European markets and some actions undertake by producers in PJ in order to meet these requirements.…”

The objective of this paper is to identify some elements which contribute to the entry of small and medium producers into the global market. Specifically, it analyses the case of the greatest Brazilian mango and grape exported region - the Petrolina-Juazeiro (P-J). The conceptual background consists of two approaches. The first conceptual framework is the Global Value Chain (GVC) approach which is mainly concerned with the entry of local economies, from developing countries, into the global market. The second approach is the dynamic capability which is mainly concerned with the way the firm could acquire capabilities. The method selected for the empirical part was the multiple-case studies which were made viable by means of semi-structured questionnaires conducted with mango and grape producer agents from P-J Region in Brazil and European buyers. This study indicates that some institutions have been supporting the export activities in terms of irrigation techniques, new techniques of cultivation, financial support and the introduction of some certificates such as EurepGap. Lastly, the mango and grape producers have been undertaking upgrading of product, process and functional.
O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar os elementos que contribuem para a entrada de pequenos e médios produtores no mercado global. Especificamente foi analisado o caso da maior região brasileira exportadora de manga e uva in natura, a de Petrolina (PE) e Juazeiro (BA). Os aportes teóricos utilizados neste artigo foram: cadeia de valor global e capacitações dinâmicas. O método selecionado para a realização da parte empírica foi o estudo de casos múltiplos. Para a coleta de dados, foram elaborados questionários semi-estruturados e realizadas entrevistas presenciais com produtores de manga e uva, associações de produtores, instituições de apoio localizadas em Petrolina e Juazeiro e compradores europeus de manga e uva. O estudo indicou que algumas instituições vêm apoiando o desenvolvimento da região no que tange as exportações de manga e uva principalmente transferindo conhecimento sobre padrões de qualidade dos mercados consumidores internacionais

“…Specifically in the case of Brazil, the use of contracts as economic coordination devices has already been studied in the soybean production sector (LEME and ZYLBERSZTAJN, 2008), in the paper and cellulose segment (SOUZA et al, 2009;GUIMARÃES et al, 2011;SILVA et al, 2009), in aviculture (ZYLBERSZTAJN and NOGUEIRA, 2002), in tomato production (ZYLBERSZTAJN and NADALINI, 2007), in the seed industry (ZYLBERSZTAJN and LAZZARINI, 2005), in the biofuel sector (DALMONECH et al, 2010;PEIXOTO, 2008), in the tobacco sector (BEGNIS et al, 2007), in meat production (PINOTTI and PAULILLO, 2006;MIELE and WAQUIL, 2007;SILVA and SAES, 2007;BRUM and JANK, 2001), in the fruit sector (SAES, 2007;SAMPAIO, 2007;SOUZA FILHO et al, 2010), and in food franchising (SILVA and AZEVEDO, 2007). For a general assessment see Zylbersztajn (2005a).…”

Abstract:The growing complexity of supply chains poses new challenges for Agricultural Research Centers and statistical agencies. The aim of this perspective paper is to discuss the role of empirical research in understanding the complex forms of governance in agribusiness. The authors argue that there are three fundamental levels of analysis: (i) the basic structure of the market, (ii) the formal contractual arrangements that govern relations within the agroindustrial system and (iii) the transactional dimensions governed by non-contractual means. The case of the agrochemical industry in Brazil illustrates how traditional analyses that only address market structure are insufficient to fully explain the agricultural sector and its supply chain. The article concludes by suggesting some indicators which could be collected by statistical agencies to improve understanding of the complex relationships among agribusiness segments. In doing so, the paper seeks to minimize costs and to enable a better formulation of public and private policies. Key-words: complex forms, empirical research, market structure, contracts, nonmeasurable attributes. Resumo: A crescente complexidade das relações entre os agentes das cadeias produtivas coloca novos desafios para os centros de pesquisa e estatística do setor agrícola. O objetivo do presente artigo é discutir o papel da pesquisa empírica para o entendimento das formas complexas de governança no setor agroindustrial. Os autores argumentam que há três níveis fundamentais de análise: (i) a estrutura básica do mercado, (ii) o regime contratual formal que rege as relações dentro do sistema agroindustrial e (iii) as dimensões transacionais governadas por meios não contratuais. O caso da indústria de agroquímicos no Brasil
