Este artigo é uma análise dos restos a pagar não processados cancelados da Fundação Universidade da Grande Dourados (UFGD) entre os anos de 2007 a 2022. Buscou-se evidenciar a natureza de despesa orçamentária desdobrada em seis e oito dígitos para que fosse possível a verificação do "item mais cancelamento", como também o valor máximo cancelado em cada ano. Para tanto, foi gerado um relatório no sistema do Tesouro Gerencial com filtros de itens de informação que pudessem promover a pesquisa em questão. Os dados obtidos foram tratados em planilhas do Microsoft Excel e no programa de análise Minitab Statistical Software. Na perquisição dos motivos do cancelamento desses saldos em restos a pagar não processados, foram consultados os processos virtuais no Sistema Integrado de Patrimônio, Administração e Contratos (SIPAC/UFGD). Notou-se que, o que mais se destacou nos desdobramentos de seis dígitos foram: material de consumo; outros serviços de terceiros pessoa física; e auxílio financeiro a estudantes. Contudo, foram analisados o desdobramento em oito dígitos, em que sobressaiu, nos anos de 2018 e 2019: material para divulgação, totalizando 98 notas de empenhos canceladas. Por fim, o estudo sugeriu uma ferramenta de inteligência de negócios, Power BI, para que os gestores possam gerir os recursos orçamentários e os prazos dos restos a pagar de forma mais eficiente.

Master (Msc) in International Business. Master Thesis ; Tutor: Tomislav Rimac ; Due to high price pressure within the fashion industry, retailers are permanently looking for low-cost production locations. Myanmar, which recently opened its economy and is stressing for political reforms, becomes attractive as a manufacturing base for labor intensive industries. Tishat Ltd., a new garment sourcing agency in Myanmar, which offers reliable, fast and high quality sourcing services wants to become one of the first players in the market and by benefiting from its first mover advantage. The following thesis contains a country analysis, which illustrates the risks and benefits of doing business in Myanmar. Furthermore, an operational plan is elaborated in order to present the main activities of the company. Finally three different scenarios are presented in order to introduce a final recommendation.

The article reports the findings of a study of the 43 institutional arrangements in the most severely polluted bays, harbours, river mouths and connecting channels in the Great Lakes of North America. These arrangements were designed by the governments of Canada and the United States and their respective provinces and states, in order to formulate and implement Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) to restore impaired beneficial uses. The RAPs were conceived, adopted and monitored by the International Joint Commission. The theory of common property resources is used to develop a conceptual framework to assess the effectiveness of the RAPs. Success at the planning stages is associated with a representative and inclusive process of ''stakeholder'' agenda setting, and success at an implementation stage with a system of pooled interdependencies among implementing organizations. There are, however, competing incentives for the bureaucratic organizations that design RAPs, and evidence suggests that these can be more powerful than the RAP programme itself. The success of the RAPs is thus mixed.

State and local governments have prepared Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) for Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOCs). These RAPs are to incorporate an "ecosystem" approach that recognizes ecological interrelationships. The financial implications of this approach have gone largely unexamined. This article describes historical revenues and expenditures for environmental functions by state and local governments in the Great Lakes states and in AOCs. Its purposes are to identify some fiscal measures that will be affected by an ecosystem approach and to document trends in public finances among governmental units with responsibility for implementation of RAPs. Great Lakes state and local governments generally increased spending on ecosystem functions between 1977 and 1987; it will be shown that charge and utility revenues for ecosystem functions also increased, and that municipalities within AOCs generally have higher total expenditures than do their counterparts. Implications for financing of RAPs are also discussed.
