Full textThe development of production line and facilities is without doubt a crucial task for the discrete goods producing industry in order to gain the competitive edge and the attention of the customer. This trend started already in 1969 when Skinner emphasised the strategic importance of manufacturing and that neglecting it could result in production which is time consuming and expensive. As well as this, the evolution in the manufacturing environment over recent years has resulted in the need to consider the whole product life cycle and hence the continuously shortening of the “Time to Market” period for new production facilities with ever higher quality requirements at lower costs. [Womack 1990, Pawar 1994, Case 1998, Wu 2000, Maffin 2001, Reid, 2002, Vonderembse 2003, Swift 2003]
The objective of this paper is to determine a Body of Knowledge for production development to enable small and medium sized enterprises (SME) to shorten their “Time to market” and thereby increase their profit margin. In this thesis it will be investigated how in particular each category of this Body of Knowledge will contribute to production development and how they can be merged into a generic methodology for production development. Literature revealed that there exist three different perspectives to production development which developed historically, namely the traditional and the down and upstream perspective. It could be concluded that the Body of Knowledge for the sequential traditional approaches was formed out of three categories, Production Development Process, Tools and Technology. The upstream and downstream perspectives are concurrent approaches and to date the Body of Knowledge has evolved over the years into five categories: Integrated Product Development, Multidisciplinary Teams, Project Management, Tools and Technology.
Since these categories cover more than just production development it was necessary to screen these adjoining fields for the particular contribution to production development. Finally, all the contribution could be merged into one overall production development methodology. This methodology describes the process for a systematic approach to production development which is based on the fact that it includes the complete Body of Knowledge. To adjust this methodology for the different production development projects in industry, a production development process template was integrated which enables small and medium enterprises to adapt the development process to their individual needs. The determination of such a generic methodology for production development based on its Body of Knowledge now enables now small and medium sized enterprises to approach production development generically and by that handle the development of production facilities more effective with regards to time and quality for ever more complex products.

Full textContract management is instrumental in supporting the mission of the Department of Defense (DoD) but continues to face significant problems with regard to management and oversight. The skills and training of contracting personnel continues to be a contributing factor to DoDs contracting deficiencies. Additionally, as the DoD and other federal agencies continue to lose experienced contracting personnel due to retirement, the contracting knowledge gap continues to widen. In response to increasing knowledge deficiencies in contract management, DoD and other federal agencies have put more emphasis on training and certification. Despite this, contract management problems continue to exist. Perhaps the training received by the workforce does not reflect basic contracting competencies and perhaps contracting competencies between the government and industry are inconsistent. This research conducted a detailed comparative analysis of the contracting competencies established by the DoD, the Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI), and the National Contract Management Association (NCMA). It identified similarities and differences in the models and competencies. Both NCMAs Contract Management Body of Knowledge (CMBOK) and DoD/FAIs competency models contain categories reflecting two out of three phases of the contract life cycle. The CMBOK contains both Pre-Award and Post-Award categories whereas DoD/FAIs model contains one category titled Pre-Award and Award. Contracting competencies established by the DoD/FAI compare favorably to those set forth in the CMBOK. Of the 19 technical contracting competencies analyzed, 17 were covered by both DoD/FAI and the CMBOK. The level of detail provided in the CMBOK is much greater than that of DoD/FAI competency model.

O projeto de rompimento com a metafísica se constitui como o primeiro passo para aquilo que Nietzsche se coloca como sendo sua tarefa: o favorecimento da aparição de um certo tipo de cultura e de um certo tipo de homem . Assim, a crítica nietzschiana servirá à exposição sobre como se perpetuou o desprezo pelo corpo no âmbito do conhecimento filosófico, a partir da construção de sistemas conceituais erigidos com base na crença na ideia de verdade e em uma atitude de negação da vida. Para Nietzsche, todo conhecimento se dá como apropriação interpretativa da experiência, que tem na dinâmica pulsional sua regência afetiva. Pelo método genealógico, Nietzsche problematiza o descompasso corpo-pensamento como tendo origem no salto do animal-homem ao homem-animal-cultural. Do bicho-homem à besta-filósofo, o conhecer se dá como expressão e desdobramento da vontade de poder.
The project break with metaphysics is constituted as the first step in what Nietzsche puts it as his task: favoring the appearance of a certain type of culture and a certain kind of man. Thus, Nietzsche s critique will serve exposure was perpetuated on contempt by the body within the philosophical knowledge from the construction of conceptual systems erected based on belief in the idea of truth and an attitude of denial of life. For Nietzsche, all knowledge is given as an interpretive appropriation of experience that has in instinctive dynamic its affective regency. By genealogical method, Nietzsche discusses the mismatch body-thought to have originated on the heel of the animal-man to cultural-animal man. From nimal-man to beast-philosopher, the knowledge takes place as an expression and unfolding the will to power.

Full textHildegard is contextualized within the politico-socio-intellectual parameters of the twelfth century in general and within convent life in particular. Events are chronicled to examine how she reconstructed her weaknesses--gender and infirmity--using them to construct knowledge, and to demonstrate how she used that knowledge to educate by writing, teaching and preaching. The source of Hildegard's knowledge is analysed in an attempt to determine whether it is divinely inspired, neurologically based, or derived from secondary religious and secular writings. Whatever the source, Hildegard herself refused to grant the name of "Knowledge" to any insight unless it came to her in the heavenly voice via the "Living Light." The study culminates with a brief discussion on the questions asked in the introduction regarding research in the history of education.

Full textAll these conceptions changed with student age and became more scientifically acceptable in their nature as students' formal education increased. Based upon the findings of the above questionnaires, a diagnostic paper and pencil instrument set of 20 items based upon a modified two tier multiple-choice format was developed to identify student held conceptions on energy and the human body. Subsequently, an interventionist strategy was designed and implemented to help students avoid the development of misconceptions as they construct acceptable concepts related to digestion and to respiration. This strategy follows the passage of food from its ingestion through to the absorbed foods conversion into ATP for use by the body. The findings of this study are to be of use to science teachers worldwide, not only in Western Australia as the findings of this thesis are relevant to educators of students in Years 8 to 12. The findings are related to energy in general but specifically to the students' own body. These findings relate directly to an intrinsically interesting feature, the student's own body. Another outcome of these misconception findings are two instruments which are likely to be of value to educators of Years 8 to 12 students. These are a diagnostic instrument designed to identify a number of alternative conceptions learners may hold and secondly a lesson sequence dealing with digestion and respiration and the role these have in the conversion and transfer of energy in the body.

Full textI had just turned thirteen and it was the summer before high school started. My mother and I went over to the Roberts' house. Ruby had just matriculated from the same school and was handing down her faded old checked uniforms. To my amazement, there in the lounge bathed in afternoon January sunlight, was her father Billy, kneeling, deeply absorbed in a large strange chart that had been laid out on the floor. It was a school timetable and it was his task, as vice principle, to organise the day-to-day workings of the year ahead. The timetable was scattered with various coloured shapes that he shuffled back and forth across the gridded surface, trying to make a coherent system. This anecdote is important to my body of work for three reasons. The first is that Mr. Roberts' challenging activity that day is not unlike the process of sorting and reordering that is central to my work. The appearance of the chart is mimicked in the schemata-like quality of many of my pieces, as is its conceptual framework - an urge to order a set of already existing pieces into a new, meaningful and functional relationship. Ruby's uniforms are also important. I cherished these second-hand dresses precisely because of the qualities they acquired through having been worn already. These dresses were softer to touch, had a better fit and more beauty in colour --soft pink checks as opposed to harsh maroon-- than other girls' crisp new sacks.

PROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA
Esta pesquisa objetiva trazer uma contribuição para o emergente e alargado campo da chamada educação quilombola a partir de três questões principais que se entrelaçam ao longo do texto. A primeira delas remete a uma descrição minuciosa da relação entre o jongo e o processo de construção e reafirmação identitária na comunidade quilombola de Santa Rita do Bracuí, o que é realizado mediante a apresentação dos principais agentes externos e internos que o influenciaram, bem como as práticas educativas vinculadas a ele. A segunda questão, enquanto um prolongamento da primeira, traz os conceitos de corporalidade, performance e memória corporal para tecer considerações sobre a função do corpo, enquanto produto e produtor de cultura, na reafirmação identitária, uma vez que a prática do jongo pressupõe um saber-fazer corporal específico. Já a terceira delas diz respeito a uma análise sobre o papel que o jongo poderia vir a assumir ao ser incorporado às escolas quilombolas pesquisadas por meio de duas chaves de análise diferenciadas: a educação voltada para a diversidade expressa pela implementação da Lei 10.639/03; a educação diferenciada que concebe a escola como a extensão do projeto político da comunidade. O desenvolvimento da pesquisa ocorre na interface da antropologia com a educação e a opção teórico-metodológica utilizada para o desenvolvimento do trabalho de campo foi a etnografia aliada a entrevistas em profundidade. A partir da pesquisa iniciada na comunidade quilombola de Santa Rita do Bracuí, comunidade de resistência jongueira localizada no município de Angra dos Reis (Rio de Janeiro), percebe-se a criação de uma rede de resgate do jongo na região Sul Fluminense, em que várias comunidades quilombolas que já não o dançavam, ou mesmo nunca o dançaram, passam a (re) inventá-lo como forma de manifestarem, tanto para os outros como para eles mesmos, a sua adesão ao movimento quilombola e à luta por políticas públicas diferenciadas. Entretanto, cada uma delas ressignifica o jongo a sua maneira, o que ocorre tanto no viés da função social que ele passa a assumir, como também na corporalidade expressa pelas diferentes performances possíveis para ele. A formação diferenciada propiciada pelo jongo o transforma numa ferramenta política entre jovens jongueiros e jongueiros mirins quilombolas, que passam a dançá-lo num formato de apresentação. Como consequência desta formação diferenciada, percebemos um avanço em relação à visibilidade política e ao diálogo com o poder público, inclusive no âmbito da educação. Nesse contexto, uma das demandas dos próprios quilombolas passa a ser a incorporação do jongo pela escola, o que traz subsídios para uma reflexão sobre que educação escolar quilombola seria esta que, apesar de já ser garantida por políticas educacionais específicas, ainda tem muito pouco ou nada de quilombola no campo empírico.
This research aims to bring a contribution to the emerging and expanding field called quilombola education from three issues main that are interwoven throughout the text. The first one refers to a detailed description of the relationship between jongo and the construction and affirmation of identity on the quilombola community of Santa Rita do Bracuí, which is accomplished by describing the major internal and external agents that influenced this process, as well as the educational practices linked to it. The second question, as an extension of the first, brings the concepts of corporeality, performance and body memory to make considerations about the function of the body, as a product and producer of culture, in the reassertion identity, since the practice of jongo presupposes a body knowledge specific. The third of them concerns an analysis of the role that the jongo could assume to be incorporated into the quilombolas schools surveyed by means of two differentiated analysis: education focused on diversity expressed by the implementation of the law 10.639/03; differentiated education which conceives the school as an extension of the community’s political project. The development of the research occurs in interface of anthropology with education and the theoretical-methodological option for the development of fieldwork was ethnography combined with in-depth interviews. From the research initiated in the quilombola community of Santa Rita do Bracuí, community of resistance jongueira in the city of Angra dos Reis (Rio de Janeiro), perceives the creation of a rescue network of jongo in the South Fluminense, where several communities that no longer danced, or even have never danced, start to invent it as a way to express both for others as for themselves their adherence to quilombola movement and struggle for differentiated public policies. However, each one resignifies jongo as their way, which occurs both by the social function that it assumes such as on the corporeality express by the different performances possible for it. Differentiated formation provided by jongo transforms into a political tool among young jongueiros and junior jongueiros, that start to dance in a presentation format. As a result of this formation, we realized a breakthrough in relation to political visibility and dialogue with the public authorities, including in the context of education. In this context, one of the quilombolas s demands becomes the incorporation of the jongo by the school, wich brings grants for a reflection about which school education quilombola would be this that, despite already being guaranteed by specific educational policies, still has very little or anything of quilombola in the empirical field.

Full textIn addition to secularization theory, relevant concepts are also applied from the works of Talcott Parsons, Max Weber and Michel Foucault. The analysis suggests that the laicization of cemeteries is part of ongoing rationalizing trends in the larger society. The connection between cemeteries and changes in how we think about human bodies and death is also investigated. Rationalization is linked to a marginalization of the meaning of death as death itself moves from a religious understanding to the control of professionals and bureaucracies like hospitals and funeral homes.

Full textThe increasing prevalence of obesity in both developed and developing countries and its associated health risks have brought the issue of obesity prevention and management a public health debate. Health care professionals have been identified to have a role to play in directing the future of obesity management. However, among the numerous barriers for effective management of obesity is lack of knowledge of causes of obesity and negative attitudes towards obese patients by health care professionals. With limited or no studies available for the physiotherapy setting, the aim of the study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of students of Physiotherapy at the University of the Western Cape, South Africa towards obese individual. A descriptive quantitative research design using a cross-sectional survey was used. One hundred and seventy five (175) students of Physiotherapy took part in the study using a convenience sampling technique. Data was collected by means of a structured, self-administered questionnaire adopted from the Obesity Risk Knowledge-10 scale, Beliefs About Obese Person scale and the Fat Phobia Scale. A response rate of 77.3% was obtained. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to describe the relationship and association between variables. Alpha level was set at 0.05. The mean age of the sample was 21.54 (SD = 4.903). Females constituted 73.5% and males 26.5% of the sample. The results showed that majority of the students of Physiotherapy (85%) reported having received no formal education regarding obesity.

Full textThis article seeks to explore and understand the media and the medical aesthetic approaches over the beauty segment found in womenâs beauty magazines. It investigates how such considerations are elaborated and the way the public accept them, taking/adopting them as truth and as reference. Itâs been used articles on the subjects health, beauty and nutrition of twenty four editions of the magazines â Boa Formaâ and âCorpo a Corponasâ from August 2011 to July 2012. In order to achieve this goal a critical discourse analysis was undertaken aiming denaturalize constructions on health, beauty and youth, showing the complexity of an engine where the key is the production of a thin body to support the media and medical aesthetic speeches. Through this analysis was possible to observe the disguised machinery of power/knowledge that gets stronger working oiled by the consumerâs (body) desires. The idea of the body as built, the propagated idea of a body that worked out, of a body that eats only light food and that consumes goods and services that will make it be more and more synthetic , plastic, hygienic. A body without wrinkles to show timeâs passing. Above all a body keeps inciting discipline and control, begging to work out and the use of technological procedures. Thus itâs among the âhealthyâ ways of life and amid production of an identification aesthetic through consumption that thin bodies as an ideal are justified. The conclusion is that whatâs done to take care of the body and the health propaganda made in name of quality of life are announced by womenâs magazines to the common consumers have impact on them in a subjective way making them want those things and identifying perfect images relating them to happiness and body perfection. In addition, there are elaborations of ways of behave and of relating to others that reinforce models based on bodies without wrinkles legitimating the constant confection of beauty and health production based on youth.
