Curso Normal Regional de Mamanguape (1949-1957)- educa??o redentora para ascens?o e controle social ? um escrito hist?rico, que nascido no seio de um Programa de P?s - gradua??o em Educa??o, responde ao seu objetivo de pesquisa: compreender as pr?ticas escolares desenvolvidas ao longo da trajet?ria educacional desta institui??o. O nosso recorte temporal se justifica pelo tempo de funcionamento deste curso, de seu nascimento, que ocorre na cria??o do Curso Normal Regional de Mamanguape (1o ciclo do ensino normal), pelo Decreto n?. 151, de 24 de mar?o de 1949 at? o seu t?rmino em 1957, pois, neste ano houve a conclus?o da ?ltima turma do Curso Normal Regional no munic?pio. A prefer?ncia dos discentes pelo curso ginasial instalado no ano de 1952 no Instituto Moderno (abrigo de outras institui??es, entre elas o Curso Normal Regional de Mamanguape e o Gin?sio Mathias Freire) foi um dos fatores que levou o encerramento das atividades do curso de prepara??o de professoras para o ensino prim?rio. Dialogamos com referenciais que compreendem as realidades vividas como constru??es sociais complexas, um exerc?cio, que nos levou a busca de ind?cios para compor uma narrativa mais pr?xima poss?vel do real, do vivido neste espa?o educativo. A dimens?o do real aqui exposto est? ancorada na ideia difundida por Chartier (2009, 2013), o qual desloca a no??o de verdade por representa??o. Revelam-nos modos de ser e fazer a partir de intera??es m?ltiplas de indiv?duos que se interligam, segundo Elias (1970) numa configura??o social por grupos interdependentes. Cada movimento pressup?e alian?a, conflito, disputas dur?veis ou n?o na institui??o educativa e esta deve ser analisada, de acordo com Magalh?es (2004), por meio do estudo de uma polifonia em a??o, onde duas ou mais vozes se desenvolvem preservando a mesma textura sonora, neste caso, a mesma inten??o: a forma??o de professoras para o ensino prim?rio. Utilizamos fontes (n?o) oficiais (leis, of?cios, relat?rios, jornal, livros memorial?sticos e caderno de estudo) e oral e iconogr?fica cedidas por duas ex-alunas do curso. Identificamos nas leituras feitas a partir das fontes, duas categorias de an?lise: g?nero e cultura escolar. Desta feita, conclu?mos que a cria??o e instala??o do Curso Normal Regional de Mamanguape, em 1949, foi um processo inicial de um movimento de renascimento econ?mico e cultural do munic?pio, desenvolvido por um grupo da elite social mamanguapense, destacando o car?ter redentor da educa??o, visto como um meio de ascens?o e controle social. Bem como, a forma??o de professoras prim?rias, imbu?das da fun??o social da mulher como esposa, m?e e professora respons?vel pelo bem estar da crian?a e do adulto, alegria da casa e seguran?a de uma p?tria forte.
Regional normal course of Mamanguape (1949-1957) - redemptive education to rise and social control is a historical writing, that born within a Post - Graduate Education, responds to your research objective: to understand the school practices developed throughout the educational trajectory of this institution. Our time record is justified by the running time of this course, of his birth, which occurs in the creation of Regional Normal Course of Mamanguape (1 of normal education cycle), by Decree no. 151 of 24 March 1949 until its end in 1957, because this year was the completion of the last class of the Regional Normal Course in the municipality. The preference of students for junior high school installed in 1952 at the Modern Institute (under other institutions, including the Regional Normal Course of Mamanguape and Gymnasium Mathias Freire) was one of the factors that prompted the closure of preparation course activities teachers for primary education. Dialogued with references which understand the realities experienced as complex social constructions, an exercise which led us to search for clues to compose one narrative closest as possible to the real, the lived in this educational area. The dimension of actual exposed here is anchored in the idea spread by Chartier (2009, 2013), which shifts the notion of truth by representation. They show us ways of being and doing from multiple interactions of individuals who are interconnected, according to Elias (1970) in a social configuration for interdependent groups. Every movement presupposes alliance, conflict, durable disputes or not in the educational institution and it should be analyzed, according to Magalh?es (2004), through the study of polyphony in action, where two or more voices develop preserving the same sound texture in this case, the same intention: the training of teachers for primary education. Use documents (not) official (laws, crafts, reports, newspaper, books and memoirs study book) and oral and iconographic source courtesy of two former students of the course. We identified in the readings taken from the sources, two analytical categories: gender and school culture. On this occasion, we conclude that the creation and installation of the Regional Normal Course of Mamanguape, in 1949, was an early process of economic and cultural revival movement of the city, developed by a group of mamanguapense social elite, emphasizing the redemptive character of education, It is seen as a means of ascent and social control. As well as the training of primary teachers, imbued with the social role of woman as wife, mother and teacher responsible for the welfare of the child and adult, joy of the house and security of a strong country.

Abstract:
This work presents a rigorous numerical method to compute the Floquet Normal Form X(t) = Q(t)etR for a given Fundamental Solution of a _??periodic Linear Di_erential Equation. This problem is replaced by solving an equation f(x) = 0 such that f : s ! s, is de_ned in a suitable Banach Space s. The Method aims to _nd an approximate solution _x to the equation f(x) = 0 and r > 0 such that there exists a point x_ 2 B(_x;01)(r) _ s, f(x_) = 0. The technique is based on the de_nition of an operator T : s ! s whose _xed points are solutions of the equation f(x) = 0. Thus, the numerical technique allows to calculate r so that T : B(_x;01)(r) ! B(_x;01)(r) is a contraction, providing conditions to applicate the Banach Fixed Point Theorem to ensure the existence of a _xed point of the operator T, and hence the existence of a solution to the equation f(x) = 0 in B(_x;01)(r). Radii Polinomials, presented in [11], [27] and [5], are used to compute r. In order to prevent a loss of accuracy due to rounding errors, we use interval arithmetic for performing the calculations. A MATLABR 2008 code is used to implement the numerical method described. It's also addressed the application of the Floquet Normal Form in the control of two classical dynamic systems, Forced Pendulum and Du_ng Oscillator. The goal is that the orbits of these systems become asymptotically close to a desired trajectory y : R ! R, lim t!1 [x (t) ?? y (t)] = 0. This problem is often replaced in Electrical Engineering by its linearized version, which leads to the use of Floquet Normal Form. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the Floquet theory and other results used in the rest of the work. Chapter 2 contains a description of the numerical method for calculating the Floquet normal form and its proof. Chapter 3 provides details of the method as a computational algorithm. Chapter 4 contains the application of Floquet normal form to the control of the Forced Pendulum and the Du_ng Oscillator, as previously mentioned. Appendices present concepts and auxiliary statements used throughout the work. Key Words: Floquet Theory, Periodic Linear Systems, Rigorous Numerical Method, Radii Polinomials, Control.
Este trabalho apresenta um método numérico rigoroso para calcular a Forma Normal de Floquet X(t) = Q(t)etR de uma solução. Fundamental de Equações Diferenciais Ordinárias Lineares R-periódicas x0 = A(t)x, com A(t + ) = A(t) 8t 2 R. Este problema pode ser resolvido através da solução de uma equação do tipo f(x) = 0 em que f : s ! s, com s um espaco de Banach adequadamente definido. Dessa forma, o método apresentado neste trabalho busca obter uma solução aproximada x para f(x) = 0 e r > 0 tal que seja garantida a existência de x 2 B(x;01)(r) s com f(x) = 0. A técnica baseia-se na definição de um operador T : s ! s cujos pontos xos são soluçõess da equação f(x) = 0 e tal que T : B(x;01)(r) ! B(x;01)(r) seja uma contração, possibilitando a aplicação do Teorema do Ponto Fixo de Banach. Assim, garante-se a existência de ponto xo de T e, consequentemente, a existência de uma solução para f(x) = 0, em B(x;01)(r). Para calcular r é utilizada a técnica dos Polinmios Radii, apresentada em [11], [27] e [5]. Para a realização dos cálculos é aplicada a Aritmética de Intervalos, de forma a garantir que erros de arredondamento não comprometam o rigor do método. Um algoritmo escrito em MATLABR 2008 foi utilizado para implementação prática. São apresentados exemplos de aplicação da Forma Normal de Floquet no Controle de dois sistemas dinâmicos,o Pêndulo Forçado e o Oscilador Duffing. O objetivo é fazer com que órbitas desses sistemas se aproximem assintoticamente de uma trajetória periódica desejada y : R ! R, ou seja, limt!1[x (t) y (t)] = 0 . Esse problema é constantemente substitudo em Engenharia Elétrica por uma vers~ao linearizada, o que conduz da utilização da Forma Normal de Floquet. O algoritmo desenvolvido como implementação do método demonstrado no Capítulo 2 é utilizado para obter a forma normal de Floquet das matrizes fundamentais das equações obtidas no Capítulo 4. Embora trate-se de um problema de controle baseado numa aproximação linear, a aplicação de um algoritmo rigoroso serve como motivação de aplicação. O Capítulo 1 apresenta uma introdução da Teoria da Floquet e resultados utilizados no restante do trabalho. O Capítulo 2 contém a descrição do método numérico de cálculo da Forma Normal de Floquet e sua demonstração. O Capítulo 3 apresenta detalhes da implementação do método em um algoritmo computacional. O Capítulo 4 contém a aplicação da Forma Normal de Floquet ao controle do Pêndulo Forçado e do Oscilador Duffing, como citado anteriormente. Nos apêndices são apresentados conceitos e demonstrações auxiliares utilizadas ao longo do trabalho, inclusive uma generalização da Teoria de Floquet para uma classe de sistemas não lineares Palavras-chave: Teoria de Floquet, Sistemas Lineares Periódicos, Método Numérico Rigoroso, Polinômios Radii, Controle.

Abstract:
Dans la première partie de cette thèse, nous étudions les équations différentielles algébriques (en abrégé EDA) linéaires et les systèmes de contrôles linéaires associés (en abrégé SCEDA). Les problèmes traités et les résultats obtenus sont résumés comme suit : 1. Relations géométriques entre les EDA linéaires et les systèmes de contrôles génériques SCEDO. Nous introduisons une méthode, appelée explicitation, pour associer un SCEDO à n'importe quel EDA linéaire. L'explicitation d'une EDA est une classe des SCEDO, précisément un SCEDO défini, à un changement de coordonnées près, une transformation de bouclage près et une injection de sortie près. Puis nous comparons les « suites de Wong » d'une EDA avec les espaces invariants de son explicitation. Nous prouvons que la forme canonique de Kronecker FCK d'une EDA linéaire et la forme canonique de Morse FCM d'un SCEDO, ont une correspondance une à une et que leurs invariants sont liés. De plus, nous définissons l'équivalence interne de deux EDA et montrons sa particularité par rapport à l'équivalence externe en examinant les relations avec la régularité interne, i.e., l'existence et l'unicité de solutions. 2. Transformation d'un SCEDA linéaire vers sa forme canonique via la méthode d'explicitation avec des variables de driving. Nous étudions les relations entre la forme canonique par bouclage FCFB d'un SCEDA proposée dans la littérature et la forme canonique de Morse pour les SCEDO. Premièrement, dans le but de relier SCEDA avec les SCEDO, nous utilisons une méthode appelée explicitation (avec des variables de driving). Cette méthode attache à une classe de SCEDO avec deux types d'entrées (le contrôle original et le vecteur des variables de driving) à un SCEDA donné. D'autre part, pour un SCEDO linéaire classique (sans variable de driving) nous proposons une forme de Morse triangulaire FMT pour modifier la construction de la FCM. Basé sur la FMT nous proposons une forme étendue FMT et une forme étendue de FCM pour les SCEDO avec deux types d'entrées. Finalement, un algorithme est donné pour transformer un SCEDA dans sa FCFB. Cet algorithme est construit sur la FCM d'un SCEDO donné par la procédure d'explicitation. Un exemple numérique illustre la structure et l'efficacité de l'algorithme. Pour les EDA non linéaires et les SCEDA (quasi linéaires) nous étudions les problèmes suivants : 3. Explicitations, analyse externe et interne et formes normales des EDA non linéaires. Nous généralisons les deux procédures d'explicitation (avec ou sans variables de driving) dans le cas des EDA non linéaires. L'objectif de ces deux méthodes est d'associer un SCEDO non linéaire à une EDA non linéaire telle que nous puissions l'analyser à l'aide de la théorie des EDO non linéaires. Nous comparons les différences de l'équivalence interne et externe des EDA non linéaires en étudiant leurs relations avec l'existence et l'unicité d'une solution (régularité interne). Puis nous montrons que l'analyse interne des EDA non linéaire est liée à la dynamique nulle en théorie classique du contrôle non linéaire. De plus, nous montrons les relations des EDAS de forme purement semi-explicite avec les 2 procédures d'explicitations. Finalement, une généralisation de la forme de Weierstrass non linéaire FW basée sur la dynamique nulle d'un SCEDO non linéaire donné par la méthode d'explicitation est proposée
In the first part of this thesis, we study linear differential-algebraic equations (shortly, DAEs) and linear control systems given by DAEs (shortly, DAECSs). The discussed problems and obtained results are summarized as follows. 1. Geometric connections between linear DAEs and linear ODE control systems ODECSs. We propose a procedure, named explicitation, to associate a linear ODECS to any linear DAE. The explicitation of a DAE is a class of ODECSs, or more precisely, an ODECS defined up to a coordinates change, a feedback transformation and an output injection. Then we compare the Wong sequences of a DAE with invariant subspaces of its explicitation. We prove that the basic canonical forms, the Kronecker canonical form KCF of linear DAEs and the Morse canonical form MCF of ODECSs, have a perfect correspondence and their invariants (indices and subspaces) are related. Furthermore, we define the internal equivalence of two DAEs and show its difference with the external equivalence by discussing their relations with internal regularity, i.e., the existence and uniqueness of solutions. 2. Transform a linear DAECS into its feedback canonical form via the explicitation with driving variables. We study connections between the feedback canonical form FBCF of DAE control systems DAECSs proposed in the literature and the famous Morse canonical form MCF of ODECSs. In order to connect DAECSs with ODECSs, we use a procedure named explicitation (with driving variables). This procedure attaches a class of ODECSs with two kinds of inputs (the original control input and the vector of driving variables) to a given DAECS. On the other hand, for classical linear ODECSs (without driving variables), we propose a Morse triangular form MTF to modify the construction of the classical MCF. Based on the MTF, we propose an extended MTF and an extended MCF for ODECSs with two kinds of inputs. Finally, an algorithm is proposed to transform a given DAECS into its FBCF. This algorithm is based on the extended MCF of an ODECS given by the explication procedure. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the structure and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. For nonlinear DAEs and DAECSs (of quasi-linear form), we study the following problems: 3. Explicitations, external and internal analysis, and normal forms of nonlinear DAEs. We generalize the two explicitation procedures (with or without driving variable) proposed in the linear case for nonlinear DAEs of quasi-linear form. The purpose of these two explicitation procedures is to associate a nonlinear ODECS to any nonlinear DAE such that we can use the classical nonlinear ODE control theory to analyze nonlinear DAEs. We discuss differences of internal and external equivalence of nonlinear DAEs by showing their relations with the existence and uniqueness of solutions (internal regularity). Then we show that the internal analysis of nonlinear DAEs is closely related to the zero dynamics in the classical nonlinear control theory. Moreover, we show relations of DAEs of pure semi-explicit form with the two explicitation procedures. Furthermore, a nonlinear generalization of the Weierstrass form WE is proposed based on the zero dynamics of a nonlinear ODECS given by the explicitation procedure

Estruturas de engenharia têm desempenhado um papel importante para o desenvolvimento das sociedades no decorrer dos anos. A adequada gerência e manutenção de tais estruturas requer abordagens automatizadas para o monitoramento de integridade estrutural (SHM) no intuito de analisar a real condição dessas estruturas. Infelizmente, variações normais na dinâmica estrutural, causadas por efeitos operacionais e ambientais, podem ocultar a existência de um dano. Em SHM, normalização de dados é frequentemente referido como o processo de filtragem dos efeitos normais com objetivo de permitir uma avaliação adequada da integridade estrutural. Neste contexto, as abordagens baseadas em análise de componentes principais e agrupamento de dados têm sido empregadas com sucesso na modelagem dessas condições variadas, ainda que efeitos normais severos imponham alto grau de dificuldade para a detecção de danos. Contudo, essas abordagens tradicionais possuem limitações sérias quanto ao seu emprego em campanhas reais de monitoramento, principalmente devido as restrições existentes quanto a distribuição dos dados e a definição de parâmetros, bem como os diversos problemas relacionados a normalização dos efeitos normais. Este trabalho objetiva aplicar redes neurais de aprendizado profundo e propor um novo método de agrupamento aglomerativo para a normalização de dados e detecção de danos com o objetivo de superar as limitações impostas pelos métodos tradicionais. No contexto das redes neurais profundas, o emprego de novos métodos de treinamento permite alcançar modelos com maior poder de generalização. Em contrapartida, o novo algoritmo de agrupamento não requer qualquer parâmetro de entrada e não realiza asserções quanto a distribuição dos dados, permitindo um amplo dominínio de aplicações. A superioridade das abordagens propostas sobre as disponíveis na literatura é atestada utilizando conjuntos de dados oriundos de dois sistemas de monitoramento instalados em duas pontes distintas: a ponte Z-24 e a ponte Tamar. Ambas as técnicas revelaram um melhor desempenho de normalização dos dados e classificação do que os métodos tradicionais, em termos de falsas-positivas e falsas-negativas indicações de dano, o que sugere a aplicabilidade dos métodos em cenários reais de monitoramento de integridade estrutural.
Engineering structures have played an important role into societies across the years. A suitable management of such structures requires automated structural health monitoring (SHM) approaches to derive the actual condition of the system. Unfortunately, normal variations in structure dynamics, caused by operational and environmental conditions, can mask the existence of damage. In SHM, data normalization is referred as the process of filtering normal effects to provide a proper evaluation of structural health condition. In this context, the approaches based on principal component analysis and clustering have been successfully employed to model the normal condition, even when severe effects of varying factors impose difficulties to the damage detection. However, these traditional approaches imposes serious limitations to deployment in real-world monitoring campaigns, mainly due to the constraints related to data distribution and model parameters, as well as data normalization problems. This work aims to apply deep neural networks and propose a novel agglomerative cluster-based approach for data normalization and damage detection in an effort to overcome the limitations imposed by traditional methods. Regarding deep networks, the employment of new training algorithms provide models with high generalization capabilities, able to learn, at same time, linear and nonlinear influences. On the other hand, the novel cluster-based approach does not require any input parameter, as well as none data distribution assumptions are made, allowing its enforcement on a wide range of applications. The superiority of the proposed approaches over state-of-the-art ones is attested on standard data sets from monitoring systems installed on two bridges: the Z-24 Bridge and the Tamar Bridge. Both techniques revealed to have better data normalization and classification performance than the alternative ones in terms of false-positive and false-negative indications of damage, suggesting their applicability for real-world structural health monitoring scenarios.

Abstract:
Background Primary radiochemotherapy with photons is the standard treatment for locally advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Acute radiation-induced side effects such as oesophagitis and radiation pneumonitis limit patients’ quality of life, and the latter can be potentially life-threatening. Due to its distinct physical characteristics, proton therapy enables better sparing of normal tissues, which is supposed to translate into a reduction of radiation-induced side effects. Methods/design This is a single-centre, prospective, randomised controlled, phase II clinical trial to compare photon to proton radiotherapy up to 66 Gy (RBE) with concomitant standard chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced-stage NSCLC. Patients will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio to photon or proton therapy, and treatment will be delivered slightly accelerated with six fractions of 2 Gy (RBE) per week. Discussion The overall aim of the study is to show a decrease of early and intermediate radiation-induced toxicity using proton therapy. For the primary endpoint of the study we postulate a decrease of radiation-induced side effects (oesophagitis and pneumonitis grade II or higher) from 39 to 12%. Secondary endpoints are locoregional and distant failure, overall survival and late side effects. Trial registration Registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with Identifier NCT02731001 on 1 April 2016.

Abstract:
Tato disertační práce představuje derivační stromy několika různých typů gramatik ve zobecněné Kurodově normální formě; jmenovitě obecné a regulárně řízené gramatiky, gramatiky s rozptýleným kontextem a spolupracující distribuované gramatické systémy. Definuje jednoduché stromové rysy založené na kontextových vlastnostech jednotlivých diskutovaných gramatik a dokazuje, že pokud existuje limitující konstanta k taková, že každá věta generovaného jazyka L odpovídá řetězci listových uzlů derivačního stromu, ve kterém je výskyt definovaných stromových rysů omezen konstantou k, jazyk L je ve skutečnosti bezkontextový. Tato práce dále ukazuje, že dosažený výsledek představuje silný nástroj důkazu bezkontextovosti jazyka. Vše je doplněno příklady praktického využití nástroje.

Abstract:
One of the most important tasks of the human postural control system is the balance of the body on a small base of support supplied by the feet. The assessment of postural control represents a challenge task, however presents implications of a big value to professionals from different areas like the Otoneurology, Phonoaudiology, Physiotherapy and others. However, its assessment can be carried out through various equipments, among them the Foam-laser Posturografy Dynamic (FLP), that is a method capable of measuring the body variations, in 6 conditions named Organization Sensorial Test (TOS) and still identifying the contribution of each one of the sensorial systems involved on the balance, it has been widely used. The present study has as objective to evaluate the correlation of the results of the postural control assessment in normal young adults, obtained by means of the FLP and the platform of power. For the accomplishment of the study 30 individuals young adults (21,17 ± 1,45 years old) 19 men and 11 women, academics of UFSM s physical education course were invited, which were submitted to the TOS evaluation by mean of the FLP and platform of power simultaneously. The results revealed that there was correlation rate statistically significant among the 6 conditions of the FLP, with area of displacement of the pressure center (CP) registered by the power platform. From of the analyses of the results it can be concludes that Foam-laser Posturografy Dynamic shows strong correlation with the power platform when evaluating postural control.
Uma das tarefas mais importantes do sistema do controle postural humano, é o equilíbrio do corpo sob a pequena base de apoio fornecida pelos pés. A avaliação do controle postural representa uma tarefa desafiadora, porém apresenta implicações de grande valia para profissionais de diversas áreas como a Otoneurologia, Fonoaudiologia, Fisioterapia e outros. No entanto, sua avaliação pode ser realizada através de diversos equipamentos, entre eles a Posturografia Dinâmica Foam-laser (FLP), que é um método de capaz de medir as oscilações corporais, em 6 condições denominadas Teste de Organização Sensorial (TOS) e ainda identificar a contribuição de cada um dos sistemas sensoriais envolvidos no equilíbrio, tem sido muito utilizada. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a correlação dos resultados, da avaliação do controle postural em adultos jovens normais, obtidos por meio da FLP e plataforma de força. Para a realização do estudo foram convidados 30 indivíduos adultos jovens (21,17 ± 1,45 anos) 19 homens e 11 mulheres, acadêmicos do Curso de Educação Física da Universidade Federal de Santa Maira/RS, que foram submetidos à avaliação do TOS por meio de FLP e plataforma de força simultaneamente. Os resultados revelaram que houve índice de correlação estatisticamente significante entre as 6 condições da FLP, com a área de deslocamento do centro de pressão (CP) registrada pela plataforma de força. A partir da análise dos resultados, pode-se concluir que a Posturografia Dinâmica Foamlaser apresenta forte correlação com a plataforma de força na avaliação do controle postural.

Abstract:
Foi desenvolvida uma proposta de sistemática para implementação de Sistema de Gestão da Segurança de Alimentos com base na Norma ISO 22000:2005 (NBR ISO 22000:2006). Esta sistemática está composta por: A) Mapeamento da documentação; B) Formulários para o Planejamento do sistema APPCC/ HACCP com base na norma ISO 22000, bem como Instrução para seu uso, incluindo tanto as etapas preliminares como os 7 Princípios estabelecidos pelo Codex Alimentarius; C) Documentos para a verificação dos sistemas: Checklist para auditoria de verificação, tanto de adequação como de implementação, e Mapeamento da comunicação. Esta sistemática foi aplicada em uma linha de produtos em pó de empresa real, de porte médio, denominada, ficticiamente, empresa EXEMPLO. Foram dados os treinamentos necessários, adequados ao nível de conhecimento da equipe de segurança de alimentos, e realizadas reuniões de consultoria. Após implementação da sistemática proposta pela equipe da empresa EXEMPLO na linha de produtos escolhida para este fim, foi realizada uma auditoria de verificação para a avaliação da adequação do Sistema de Gestão da Segurança de Alimentos com base na Norma ISO 22000. A equipe foi composta por três auditores, sendo dois deles com formação nível auditor líder de ISO 22000. Concluiu-se que a sistemática é eficaz e adequada, atendendo plenamente às exigências da Norma ISO 22000. Foi, também, incluído no trabalho exemplo prático da documentação básica resultante da implementação na empresa EXEMPLO. A sistemática e modelos desenvolvidos, bem como a visualização de um exemplo prático, podem auxiliar as empresas a diminuir significativamente o tempo de implementação, embora ajustes devam ser feitos para adequação à sua realidade. Os ajustes necessários devem considerar os requisitos regulamentares, dependendo do tipo de produto e do órgão regulatório responsável pela sua regulamentação e fiscalização, bem como requisitos estatutários que possam impactar na sistemática desenvolvida.
A proposed methodology was developed for the implementation of a Food safety management system based on ISO 22000:2005 (NBR ISO 22000:2006). This methodology includes: A) Map of all necessary documents; B) Forms for the HACCP system planning, based on ISO 22000 plus related instruction on how to use these forms, including the preliminary steps and the 7 Principles established by Codex Alimentarius; C) Documents for ISO 22000 system verification: Checklist for system assessment, considering adequacy and implementation and a Map of communication activities. This methodology was applied to one organization of medium size, focusing on one of its product lines. This organization was identified as EXAMPLE Organization. Necessary trainings and consultancy were offered by the author, considering the knowledge level of the food safety team. After implementation was complemented by the EXAMPLE Organization, according to the organization, an assessment was performed by a team composed of 3 auditors, two of them at the ISO 22000 lead auditor level. The main objective of this audit was to evaluate the adequacy of the proposed methodology. The conclusion was that the methodology is effective and adequate to the requirements of the ISO 22000 standard. The main documentation developed was also shown as the result of the implementation. The methodology and forms developed may help organizations to reduce the time involved in the implementation of the ISO 22000 system, even though adjustments to their circumstances shall be made. The necessary adjustments shall consider the kind of the product and the related statutory and regulatory requirements.

Abstract:
In this Ph.D. thesis a rigorous theory for the local analysis and control of the Hopf bifurcation is developed. Moreover, some original ideas oriented to the analytical approach are introduced as well, in order to provide exact mathematical tools, which turn out actually applicable to real world problems. These results are settled in the frequency approach to the study of the Hopf bifurcation and they are developed by using second-order harmonic balance techniques and controller normal forms. Those tools may turn out useful in the standard Hopf bifurcation control problems, providing a more manageable and less conservative analytical approach.
