The Federal University of Paraná〔(TaxOn-Line UFPR )〕 ((ポルトガル語:Universidade Federal do Paraná), UFPR) is a public university headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Nowadays, its facilities are spread over the capital Curitiba and other cities of the State of Paraná. It offers 124 undergraduate degree courses,〔(2013/2014 Candidate's guide )〕 44 doctorate, 66 masters and 5 professional masters programs,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Programas de Mestrado e Doutorado - PRPPG - Pró-Reitoria de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação - UFPR )〕 apart from a number of ''lato sensu'' programs (mostly paid one-year specializations) - see Higher-ed degrees in Brazil. Since 2004, the University has been adopting in its vestibular a program in which twenty percent of the spots offered are destined to students coming from public schools and another twenty percent are reserved for Afro-Brazilians. UFPR ranks among the 651-700 best universities in the world and 37th best in Latin-America, according to QS World University Rankings. It is placed as the 9th best in the country in the latest "Ranking Universitário Folha (RUF)", published by the nation's largest newspaper. Since 2009 internal elections the University is run by Rector Zaki Akel Sobrinho, D.Sc. in Administration from Universidade de São Paulo,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Curriculum Lattes of Akel Sobrinho - (In Portuguese) )〕 and Vice-Rector Rogerio Andrade Mulinari, D.Sc. in Medicine from Universidade Federal de São Paulo, and with a Post-Doc from Boston University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Curriculum Lattes of Mulinari - (In Portuguese) )〕〔(Rectorship election at UFPR )〕 ==History== In 1892, José Francisco da Rocha Pombo, an intellectual of the state of Paraná would have initiated the construction of the University, but his project was frustrated by the Federalist Movement. Twenty years later, Paraná had a reduced number of intellectuals (nine doctors and four engineers), but it was in true development because of the production of the yerba mate. Moreover, at this time, the Contestado War appeared as an incentive to the efforts of political leaderships concerning the creation of a university. In this context, Victor Ferreira do Amaral, deputy and director of public instruction of Paraná, started the effective creation of the University. On December 19, 1912 the University was established and, in 1913, it has initiated its activities as a private institution in an old building situated on Comendador Araújo street. The first courses offered were Juridical and Social Sciences, Engineering, Medicine and Surgery, Commerce, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Obstetrics. After the establishment of the University, Victor Ferreira do Amaral, who was also its first president, initiated the construction of a central building in a land donated by the municipal government. Due to the economic recession caused by the World War I, difficulties started to appear. In 1920, a federal law determined the closing of all universities. In a contradictory measure, the federal government created the ''Universidade do Rio de Janeiro'', currently ''Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro'' (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro). The alternative to this law was to split the UFPR in several colleges. Throughout several years, efforts in order to restore the university took place. Only in the beginning of the fifties the colleges were reunited once again in the University of Paraná, its federalization happening just after that, in 1951, when the university became a public and free-of-charge institution. After its federalization, a process of expansion began with the construction of the Clinic's Hospital (Portuguese: ''Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná'') in 1953, the ''Reitoria'' Campus in 1958 and the Polytechnic Center in 1961. The Polytechnic Center campus occupies .〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federal University of Paraná」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
