Full textAs sucessivas transformações que caraterizam a atualidade propõem novas configurações, onde o sistema educativo desempenha um dos mais importantes papéis, procurando dar resposta às necessidades que vão surgindo ao longo dos tempos. A procura de novas práticas e metodologias é uma constante, tentando acompanhar a quantidade de informação e a facilidade de acesso ao conhecimento. A diversidade de recursos e o cruzamento de várias disciplinas apresentam-se como componentes deste processo, a que designamos contemporâneo. Este estudo coloca a importância da Educação Artística através de uma abordagem à arte contemporânea, na disciplina de Educação Visual e Tecnológica. Foi elaborado através do desenvolvimento de um projeto, organizado em três Momentos, que visa aproximar diferentes linguagens. Exploram-se novas possibilidades a utilizar em contexto educativo, promovendo uma aprendizagem significativa, em que os alunos resolvem na prática o seu processo de descoberta. É uma proposta que pretende ressituar a exploração da disciplina no contexto atual. O Meio surge como o dispositivo para desenvolver olhares diferentes a partir do habitual, em que se valoriza o processo de experimentação para desenvolver nos alunos o seu sentido estético e artístico.
The successive transformations that characterize the current days propose new patterns, where the education system plays a major role, seeking to give an answer to the needs that arise over time. The search for new methodologies and practices is relentless and tries to follow to the amount of information and the ease access to knowledge. The diversity of resources and the meeting of numerous subjects are components of this process, which is called contemporary. This study raises the importance of Arts Education through an approach to contemporary art in the school subject of Visual and Technological Education. It was prepared in a three-moment project, which aims to bring together different languages. It explores new possibilities to develop in an educational context that encourages significant learning in which students give answers to their on-going discovery process. It is a proposal that intends to resituate the exploration of the subject Visual and Technological Education in the current context. The Environment rises as a device that, from the usual, develops different looks, in which the experimentation process is central to grow students artistic and aesthetic sense.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In extreme value theory (EVT) the emphasis is on extreme (very small or very large) observations. The crucial parameter when making inferences about extreme quantiles, is called the extreme value index (EVI). This thesis concentrates on only the right tail of the underlying distribution (extremely large observations), and specifically situations where the EVI is assumed to be positive. A positive EVI indicates that the underlying distribution of the data has a heavy right tail, as is the case with, for example, insurance claims data. There are numerous areas of application of EVT, since there are a vast number of situations in which one would be interested in predicting extreme events accurately. Accurate prediction requires accurate estimation of the EVI, which has received ample attention in the literature from a theoretical as well as practical point of view. Countless estimators of the EVI exist in the literature, but the practitioner has little information on how these estimators compare. An extensive simulation study was designed and conducted to compare the performance of a wide range of estimators, over a wide range of sample sizes and distributions. A new procedure for the estimation of a positive EVI was developed, based on fitting the perturbed Pareto distribution (PPD) to observations above a threshold, using Bayesian methodology. Attention was also given to the development of a threshold selection technique. One of the major contributions of this thesis is a measure which quantifies the stability (or rather instability) of estimates across a range of thresholds. This measure can be used to objectively obtain the range of thresholds over which the estimates are most stable. It is this measure which is used for the purpose of threshold selection for the proposed PPD estimator. A case study of five insurance claims data sets illustrates how data sets can be analyzed in practice. It is shown to what extent discretion can/should be applied, as well as how different estimators can be used in a complementary fashion to give more insight into the nature of the data and the extreme tail of the underlying distribution. The analysis is carried out from the point of raw data, to the construction of tables which can be used directly to gauge the risk of the insurance portfolio over a given time frame.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die veld van ekstreemwaardeteorie (EVT) is bemoeid met ekstreme (baie klein of baie groot) waarnemings. Die parameter wat deurslaggewend is wanneer inferensies aangaande ekstreme kwantiele ter sprake is, is die sogenaamde ekstreemwaarde-indeks (EVI). Hierdie verhandeling konsentreer op slegs die regterstert van die onderliggende verdeling (baie groot waarnemings), en meer spesifiek, op situasies waar aanvaar word dat die EVI positief is. ’n Positiewe EVI dui aan dat die onderliggende verdeling ’n swaar regterstert het, wat byvoorbeeld die geval is by versekeringseis data. Daar is verskeie velde waar EVT toegepas word, aangesien daar ’n groot aantal situasies is waarin mens sou belangstel om ekstreme gebeurtenisse akkuraat te voorspel. Akkurate voorspelling vereis die akkurate beraming van die EVI, wat reeds ruim aandag in die literatuur geniet het, uit beide teoretiese en praktiese oogpunte. ’n Groot aantal beramers van die EVI bestaan in die literatuur, maar enige persoon wat die toepassing van EVT in die praktyk beoog, het min inligting oor hoe hierdie beramers met mekaar vergelyk. ’n Uitgebreide simulasiestudie is ontwerp en uitgevoer om die akkuraatheid van beraming van ’n groot verskeidenheid van beramers in die literatuur te vergelyk. Die studie sluit ’n groot verskeidenheid van steekproefgroottes en onderliggende verdelings in. ’n Nuwe prosedure vir die beraming van ’n positiewe EVI is ontwikkel, gebaseer op die passing van die gesteurde Pareto verdeling (PPD) aan waarnemings wat ’n gegewe drempel oorskrei, deur van Bayes tegnieke gebruik te maak. Aandag is ook geskenk aan die ontwikkeling van ’n drempelseleksiemetode. Een van die hoofbydraes van hierdie verhandeling is ’n maatstaf wat die stabiliteit (of eerder onstabiliteit) van beramings oor verskeie drempels kwantifiseer. Hierdie maatstaf bied ’n objektiewe manier om ’n gebied (versameling van drempelwaardes) te verkry waaroor die beramings die stabielste is. Dit is hierdie maatstaf wat gebruik word om drempelseleksie te doen in die geval van die PPD beramer. ’n Gevallestudie van vyf stelle data van versekeringseise demonstreer hoe data in die praktyk geanaliseer kan word. Daar word getoon tot watter mate diskresie toegepas kan/moet word, asook hoe verskillende beramers op ’n komplementêre wyse ingespan kan word om meer insig te verkry met betrekking tot die aard van die data en die stert van die onderliggende verdeling. Die analise word uitgevoer vanaf die punt waar slegs rou data beskikbaar is, tot op die punt waar tabelle saamgestel is wat direk gebruik kan word om die risiko van die versekeringsportefeulje te bepaal oor ’n gegewe periode.

Full textSyftet med detta examensarbete var att utveckla en automatisk process för uppskattning av finansiell risk med hjälp av extremvärdesteori. "Peaks over threshold" (POT) valdes som metod för att modellera extrempunkter i avkastningsdata. Den stora svårigheten med POT är att välja ett tröskelvärde för konvergens, över vilket alla datapunkter betraktas som extrema och modelleras med en gränsvärdesdistribution. Detta tröskelvärdes påverkan på olika riskmått undersöktes, med slutsatsen att modeller med fast tröskelvärde är olämpliga om datamängden är liten, vilket ofta är fallet i tillämpade extremvärdesmetoder.En modell för viktning av tröskelvärden presenterades och uppvisade lovande resultat. Därtill undersöktes valet mellan Bayesiansk och frekventisk inferens, med fokus på skillnaden mellan Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) och maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), när det kommer till applicerad extremvärdesteori. Bayesiansk inferens och MCMC bedömdes vara bättre, och två MCMC-algoritmer; independence Metropolis (IM) och automated factor slice sampler (AFSS), analyserades och förbättrades för använding i den automatiska processen. Avslutningsvis jämfördes effekterna av olika apriori sannolikhetsfördelningar (priors) på processens slutresultat. En svagt informativ referensprior jämfördes med en starkt informativ prior baserad på expertutlåtanden.

Full textAtualmente, os modelos Value-at-Risk (VaR), têm um papel muito importante a nível dos Mercados Financeiros, sendo uma das ferramentas mais utilizadas, por analistas financeiros, para gestão e estimação de risco de mercado. Nesta tese, três métodos de estimação de VaR, nomeadamente o método de Simulação Histórica, GARCH(1,1) e o método EVT-POT Dinâmico, foram aplicados. O propósito deste trabalho é estimar modelos VaR para os países: EUA, França, Alemanha, Itália, Japão, Reino Unido, China, Espanha e Portugal, com um intervalo de tempo desde 1 de Janeiro de 2007 até 31 de Agosto de 2020 e um nível de confiança de 99%. Estas estimações serão então testadas por via Backtest, permitindo identificar quando ocorreram a maioria das falhas, e se estas ocorreram em períodos normais ou de crise (por exemplo, a Pandemia COVID-19). Adicionalmente, é estudado se existe alguma relação entre o número de mortos por país e o movimento dos retornos e da volatilidade dos índices de stocks. O modelo que mostrou ter maior precisão aquando da estimação de períodos de crise foi o EVT-POT dinâmico, sendo HS o modelo menos preciso. É possível observar que a maioria das falhas, causadas por observações incomuns, ocorreram durante os anos 2008, 2011, 2013, 2018 e 2020, que são considerados períodos de crise. Foi também possível concluir que o movimento dos índices de stocks é influenciado pelo aumento do número de mortes por COVID-19, mostrando assim que existe uma relação entre ambos (quando o número de mortes aumenta, os mercados tornam-se mais voláteis).
Nowadays, Value-at-Risk (VaR) models play a crucial role in Financial Markets, being one of the most widely risk management tools used by financial analysts, to estimate market risk. In this thesis, three widely used approaches to estimate VaR, namely Historical Simulation, GARCH(1,1) and Dynamic EVT-POT, were applied. We will estimate VaR models for the countries: USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, Spain and Portugal with a time horizon from 1st of January of 2007 to 31st of August 2020. It was chosen a confidence level of 99%. These estimations will then be backtested, enabling a conclusion of when the majority of the exceedances happen in a "normal" period or in a crisis period (e.g. COVID-19 Pandemic). Further, it is studied if there is any relation between the mortality number in each country and the movement in returns or volatility of stock indices. The model that showed to be the most accurate when estimating crisis periods is Dynamic EVT-POT model. The model that showed less accuracy is the HS. It is possible to see that most of the exceedances, caused by outlier observations, occur during years 2008, 2011, 2013, 2018 and 2020 which are years known to be crisis periods. It was also possible to conclude that the movement in the stock indices is influenced with the increase in COVID-19 related deaths, showing therefore that there is some sort of relation between the two phenomena (when the number of deaths increase, the markets are more volatile).

Full textAlguns estudos indicam que as TIC (Tecnologias da Informação eComunicação) ainda não são efectivamente utilizadas nos processos deensino e aprendizagem, e quando o são, o seu uso tem muitas vezessubjacente a perspectivas tradicionais de ensino. Muitos destes trabalhos sãogerais, pelo que se reconhece a necessidade da realização de estudos quepermitam conhecer realidades específicas. Considerando que o professor assume um papel fundamental na desejadamudança da escola, deve olhar-se a formação dos professores como um processo indissociável do seu próprio desenvolvimento pessoal, conciliando asnecessidades profissionais e os seus interesses pessoais. Uma possibilidade é promover essa formação no seio de CoP (Comunidades de Prática). Não havendo ao nosso conhecimento, estudos sobre as práticas de integraçãodas TIC na disciplina de EVT (Educação Visual e Tecnológica), nem que fundamentem a concepção de uma CoP (Comunidade de Prática) deprofessores de EVT, com o presente estudo, pretende-se: i) conhecer as práticas e atitudes dos professores de EVT no que concerne à integração dasTIC nas suas aulas; ii) colher informações que permitam definir as condições necessárias à emergência de uma CoP online, onde os seus membros possam desenvolver competências profissionais através da partilha e da construçãoconjunta de conhecimento. Com estes objectivos em mente, planeámos eimplementámos um estudo exploratório-descritivo, pois pretendia-se conhecer as aptidões dos professores inquiridos para integrarem uma CoP onlinee descrever a realidade actual relativamente ao uso das TIC. Na fase empíricaforam utilizados dois instrumentos de recolha de dados. Num primeiro momento, recorreu-se a um inquérito por questionário, aplicado aosprofessores que leccionam EVT nas escolas pertencentes aos concelhos deAlbergaria-a-Velha, Aveiro, Estarreja, Ílhavo e Vagos. Concluído estelevantamento inicial, procedeu-se à preparação e concretização de entrevistas em grupos de enfoque, com o propósito de se explorarem algumas questõesque emergiram da análise feita aos dados obtidos através do questionárioinicial e recolher informações de suporte à concepção de uma CoP online. Os resultados obtidos vão ao encontro de grande parte das conclusões deoutros estudos de maior amplitude e de carácter geral. Os dados evidenciamuma baixa utilização das TIC em interacção directa com os alunos, mas umagrande utilização para fins administrativos, gestão pedagógica e para fins pessoais. Um dos produtos do estudo concretizou-se na elaboração de um “Dossier de concepção de uma CoP online, de professores de EVT”. A partir dos dados colhidos e das indicações da bibliografia consultada, foi possível definir algumas condições consideradas potenciadoras da emergência de umaCoP online, centrada na problemática da integração das TIC na disciplina deEVT. ABSTRACT: Some researches point out that Information Technology isn’t being effectivelyapplied in the teaching and learning process and when that happens it is usedin a traditional perspective of teaching. Many of those works remain general and thereforethere’s a need to develop studies that acknowledge specificrealities. Baring in mind that the teacher plays a fundamental role in the so desiredschool change, people should regard teachers’ vocational training as an intrinsic process to the individual development, associating their professionalneeds with their personal interests. One of the possibilities is promoting that training within the CoP (Communities of Practice). As we aren’t acquainted with researches on strategies that apply InformationTechnology practices to EVT (Educação Visual e Tecnológica), or researches on grounds to conceive a CoP (Community of Practice) with EVT teachers, thisthesis aims to: acknowledge EVT teacher’s points of view as far as the use of Information Technology in their classes is concerned. On the other hand this work also intends to acquire data that allow us define the required conditions to create an online CoP, where its members may develop professional skills by sharing information and building knowledge together. In order to reach our purposes, we planned and put in practise a research thatwas not only descriptive but also analytic because we wanted to know theinterviewed teachers’ proficiencies to take part in an online CoP and describe the present situation about the use of Information Technology in class. In a first phase two instruments were used to collect data: a survey andinterviews. The survey had a questionnaire, which was submittedto EVT teachers in schools situated in the areas of Albergaria-a-Velha, Aveiro, Estarreja, Ílhavo and Vagos. After the survey, we prepared and carried out the interviews, which had twomain purposes: enlighten and clarify some issues that emerged from theanalysis of the data included in the surveys and gather information will justifyand support the creation of an online CoP. The conclusions obtained from this work are very similar to those of the otherresearches that had a wider and more general outlook. The conclusions show that teachers don’t use Information Technology to interact directly with thestudents, but they use it for other purposes: administrative ends, pedagogicalmanagement and personal interests. This work also includes a file named “Dossier de concepção de uma CoP online, de professores de EVT”. From the gathered information and from some suggestions given by the bibliography, it was possible to determine someconditions that show the necessity to set off an online CoP focusing on the useof Information Technology in the EVT class.

Consequentemente, estimula um interesse cada vez maior na adopção de metodologias e estratégias com recurso a materiais multimédia interactivos que suportem uma aprendizagem mais eficaz e motivadora. Neste contexto, o presente estudo é o resultado duma investigação realizada no ano lectivo 2003/2004 sobre a problemática acima mencionada. O principal objectivo era saber se os alunos que trabalham com o suporte tradicional (papel) e um software educativo conseguem uma aprendizagem mais eficaz do conteúdo “movimento” do que aqueles que trabalham com apenas um dos suportes. Além disso, procuramos saber até que ponto a utilização do “Animatrope” facilitará a aprendizagem deste conteúdo. Este estudo envolveu três turmas do 5º ano de escolaridade (num total de 63 alunos) na área de exploração de animação e da imagem em movimento. Uma turma trabalhou apenas com os brinquedos ópticos tradicionais em papel. Outra turma usou o software “Animatrope” e por fim, a outra, utilizou ambos os métodos. As 12 sessões, de 90 minutos cada, decorreram na sala de aula de Educação Visual e Tecnológica. Os alunos que trabalharam com ambos os suportes foram divididos (em grupos pares e ímpares), alternando a ordem de trabalho em cada suporte. Todo o trabalho desenvolvido foi realizado individualmente ou em pares, de acordo com a tipologia das actividades planificadas. O efeito do tratamento sobre o processo da aprendizagem do conteúdo “movimento” foi analisado através de pré e pós-testes. O professor das turmas foi também o investigador. Para a recolha de dados utilizámos as técnicas de observação directa e participante, suportadas por registos de observação do trabalho realizado e interacções ocorridas na turma, registos em diário de bordo, os trabalhos realizados pelos alunos nas diversas sessões de trabalho e registos vídeo de todas as sessões, para posterior análise. Os resultados deste estudo revelaram não haver diferenças significativas nos testes realizados, após abordagem do conteúdo com idêntica estratégia utilizada nas aulas para todos os grupos. No entanto, após a diferenciação de estratégias e recursos utilizados, houve uma diferença significativa favorável ao grupo que trabalhou com ambos os suportes. O mesmo resultado não se confirmou nos grupos que trabalharam com apenas um deles. Os resultados também sugerem que os alunos que trabalharam com ambos os suportes conseguiram uma aprendizagem mais eficiente do conteúdo, apesar de terem efectivamente menos tempo para a conclusão dos trabalhos devido à mudança de suporte. Os resultados foram influenciados pela diversificação de recursos e múltiplas experiências de aprendizagem. Apresentam-se, ainda, sugestões para estudos futuros.
In the educational context the use of Information and Communication Technologies plays, more and more, an important role in our schools, especially in the subject of Arts and Technological Education, for it is mainly practice. Therefore it stimulates the interest in adopting methods and strategies using interactive multimedia materials that support more effective and motivating learning activities. In this context, the present study is the result of research which took place in the 2003/2004 school year in the above mentioned subject. It’s main aim was to find if pupils who use both traditional methods (paper) and educational software learn more effectively than those who were only exposed to one method when tackling the content “movement”. Moreover we also aimed at finding to what extent “Animatrope” facilitates the learning process of this content. This study involved three 5th grade classes (a total of 63 pupils) in the area of exploration of animation and moving images. One class worked only with traditional optical toys, using paper. Another class used the software “Animatrope” and still another used both methods. The 12 sessions, of 90 minutes each, took place in the Arts and Technological Education classrooms. The pupils who worked with both methods were divided (even and odd pairs). All the work developed was done individually or in pairs, according to the type of activities planned. Treatment effects of the learning process of the content “movement” were examined in terms of pre and post-tests. The teacher of these pupils was simultaneously the researcher. In order to gather the necessary data we use direct and participant observation techniques which were supported by observation records of the work done and of the interactions that occurred in the classes, daily records in a logbook, the final productions of the pupils in the various sessions and video recordings of all the sessions for further analysis. The results of this study reveal that there were no significant differences in the test administered after the teaching of the content using identical strategies in the lessons to all groups. However, after the differenciation of strategies and resources used, there was a considerable difference favouring the group that worked with both methods. The same result was not obtained in the groups that dealt with only one method. These results also suggest that pupils who used both methods managed to learn the content in a much more efficient way, in spite of having less time to conclude the tasks due to the change of method. The results were influenced by the variation of resources and the multiple experiences of learning. Suggestions for future studies are put forward.
L’utilisation des technologies d’information et de communication dans un contexte éducatif occupe une place de plus en plus importante dans nos écoles, surtout dans le cas particulier du cours d’Éducation Visuelle et Technologique qui a un caractère éminemment pratique. Par conséquence, il stimule un intérêt de plus en plus fort vers l’adoption de méthodologies et stratégies avec le recours aux matériaux multimédia interactifs qui supportent un apprentissage plus efficace et motivant dans cette matière scolaire. Dans ce contexte, cette étude est le résultat d’une investigation réalisé pendant l’année scolaire de 2003/04 sur la problématique mentionnée au dessus. L’objectif principal était savoir si les élèves qui travaillent avec les deux supports (le traditionnel et un autre avec le recours d’un software éducatif) obtiennent un apprentissage plus efficace du contenu thématique « mouvement », par rapport à ceux qui travaillent seulement avec un support. D’autre côté, nous voulons savoir de quelle façon l’utilisation du « Animatrope » facilitera l’apprentissage de l’image en mouvement. Cette étude a enveloppé trois classes de la 5ème année de scolarité (un total de 63 élèves), dans le contexte de l’exploitation de l’animation et de l’image en mouvement. Une classe a travaillé seulement les jouets optiques en support traditionnel (papier), une autre a travaillé avec le software Animatrope et la troisième classe a travaillé avec les deux supports. Les douze séances de travail de 90 minutes chacune se sont déroulés dans les salles d’ EVT. Les élèves qui ont travaillé les deux supports ont été divisés en groupes (les pairs et les impairs), en alternant l’ordre de travail dans chaque support. Tout le travail développé a été réalisé individuellement ou en groupes de pairs, d’accord la typologie des activités planifiées. L’effet du traitement sur l’apprentissage du contenu thématique « mouvement » a été analysé à travers des épreuves réalisées avant et après le travail. Le professeur des classes a été simultanément le chercheur. Dans la rentrée des donnés nous avons utilisé aussi les techniques d’observation directe et participante, lesquelles ont été supportées par des enregistrements d’observation du travail réalisé et des actions réciproques des élèves, par des enregistrements en journal de bord, les produits réalisés par les élèves dans les différents séances de travail et les enregistrements vidéo de toutes les séances pour une postérieure analyse. Les résultats de cette étude ont démontré qu’il n’y a pas de différences significatives dans les épreuves réalisées avant le début de l’apprentissage et après l’abordage du contenu avec une stratégie identique utilisée dans les classes. Pourtant, après une différentiation de stratégies et de recours utilisés, il y a eu une différence expressive dans les moyennes de la classe qui a travaillé avec les deux supports. Le même résultat ne s’est pas confirmé dans les groupes qui ont travaillé seulement avec un des supports. Les résultats suggèrent aussi que les élèves qui ont travaillé les deux supports ont obtenu un apprentissage du contenu plus significatif, bien qu’ils aient moins de temps pour la conclusion des travaux par changement de support. Ces résultats ont été influencés par la diversification de recours et les multiples expériences d’apprentissage proportionnées. On présente, encore, des suggestions pour des études à l’avenir.

Resumo: Para países com disponibilidade de energia elétrica relativamente barata, como o Brasil, o custo de instalação é o fator mais importante para a produção de hidrogênio eletrolítico, representando mais de 50% do custo total. O retificador de corrente é um dos principais equipamentos que compõem um sistema de eletrólise da água e é objeto de estudo desta dissertação. A partir de uma análise técnica, concluiu-se que, atualmente, o sistema de retificação mais adequado ao processo de produção de hidrogênio eletrolítico é o sistema a tiristor, principalmente por apresentar maior eficiência e confiabilidade operacional. Por meio de uma análise de mercado, concluiu-se que o mercado nacional, em sua maioria, está apto a fornecer retificadores industriais apenas para aplicação em eletrolisadores unipolares, já o mercado internacional possui uma vasta gama de retificadores com diversos níveis de tensão e corrente de saída, sendo capaz de fornecer estes equipamentos tanto para alimentar eletrolisadores industriais unipolares quanto bipolares. O custo do hidrogênio foi calculado tomando como base estudos anteriores e utilizando a Energia Vertida Turbinável (EVT) da UHE de Itaipu, o que resultou em US$ 2,66/kg para uma planta com capacidade de produzir 4.365 m3/h de hidrogênio. A influência do custo do retificador sobre o custo de produção é de 10,8% e, assim, uma diminuição de 50% no custo deste equipamento promoveria uma redução de 5,4% no custo do hidrogênio eletrolítico. Apesar de pequena, esta redução pode ser determinante em muitos casos. Assim, a introdução de uma linha de pesquisa em um pólo tecnológico para o desenvolvimento destes equipamentos é interessante, pois além de contribuir com a redução do custo do hidrogênio eletrolítico, representa uma oportunidade de crescimento econômico que pode colocar o Brasil em destaque de forma positiva dentro dos cenários energético e econômico mundiais
Abstract: For countries with relatively cheap electricity availability, such as Brazil, the cost of installation is the most important factor for the production of electrolytic hydrogen, representing more than 50% of the total. The power rectifier is one of the main devices comprising the water electrolysis system and it is the object of study in this dissertation. From a technical analysis, it was concluded that currently the most suitable system for electrolytic hydrogen production is the thyristor system, mainly due to its higher efficiency and operational reliability. Through market analysis, it was concluded that most of rectifiers available in the domestic market are designed only for use in industrial unipolar electrolysers. On the other hand, the international market has a wide range of rectifiers with different levels of voltage and current output, being capable of providing such equipment for both industrial unipolar and bipolar electrolysers. The cost of hydrogen was calculated using previous studies of the Spilled Turbinable Energy (STE) of Itaipu Hydroelectric Energy Plant, and resulted in US$ 2.66/kg for a plant with capacity to produce 4,365 m3/h of hydrogen. The influence of the rectifier cost on the gas production cost is 10.8%, and thus a decrease of 50% in the cost of such equipment would promote a reduction of 5.4% in the cost of the electrolytic hydrogen. Although small, this reduction can be decisive in many cases. Thus the introduction of a research line at a technological center for the development of this equipment is interesting, which also contributes to lowering the cost of electrolytic hydrogen and is an opportunity for economic growth to highlight Brazil in the worldwide energy and economic scenery

Full textA utilização das TIC ocupam um lugar cada vez mais importante nas nossas escolas, marcado sobretudo pela evolução das tecnologias e pela utilização em contexto educativo de muitas ferramentas da Web 2.0. Esse facto é muito notório na disciplina de Educação Visual e Tecnológica, de carácter eminentemente prático, onde é permitido explorar várias ferramentas digitais para abordagem de conteúdos da disciplina e para a criação de produtos gráficos e plásticos. Com o aparecimento da Web 2.0 e a disponibilização de milhares de novas ferramentas digitais aos utilizadores da Internet, estimula-se um interesse cada vez maior na adoção de metodologias e estratégias com recurso a estes media e que suportem uma aprendizagem mais eficaz e motivadora para os alunos, articulando-se os suportes tradicionais de EVT com os novos media digitais. Neste contexto, o presente estudo é o resultado duma investigação-ação realizada no âmbito do Programa Doutoral em Multimédia em Educação da Universidade de Aveiro onde se implementou a integração de ferramentas da Web, Web 2.0 e Software Livre em contexto educativo na disciplina de EVT, na qual poderiam ser utilizadas tanto as técnicas tradicionais de realização mais usuais na disciplina como a integração e articulação com as ferramentas digitais, suportadas por software livre (e outros de utilização gratuita), a Web e a Web 2.0 para suporte ao ensino e aprendizagem dos diversos conteúdos e áreas de exploração da disciplina. Este estudo, desenhado em três ciclos, envolveu num primeiro momento a constituição de uma comunidade de prática de professores alargada, sendo criadas seis turmas de formação que reuniram um total de 112 professores que pretendiam integrar as ferramentas digitais em EVT. Para além da pesquisa, análise, seleção e catalogação destas 430 ferramentas digitais recenseadas, produziram-se 371 manuais de apoio à utilização das mesmas, sendo estes recursos disponibilizados no espaço do EVTdigital. Num segundo ciclo, decorrente da avaliação realizada, foi criada a distribuição EVTux para simplificar o acesso e utilização das ferramentas digitais em contexto de EVT. Finalmente, o terceiro ciclo, decorre da eliminação da disciplina de EVT do currículo do 2º ciclo do ensino básico e a sua substituição por duas novas disciplinas, tendo-se realizada a respetiva análise de conteúdo das metas curriculares e produzido a aplicação As ferramentas digitais do Mundo Visual, concebida para contextualizar e indexar as ferramentas digitais selecionadas para a nova disciplina de Educação Visual.Os resultados deste estudo apontam claramente para a possibilidade de integrar na disciplina de Educação Visual e Tecnológica (ou no presente momento, em Educação Visual) ferramentas digitais para abordagem aos conteúdos e áreas de exploração, bem como a possibilidade de se constituírem facilmente comunidades de prática (como foi o caso) que possam colaborar na catalogação destas ferramentas no contexto específico da disciplina e para a necessidade sentida pelos professores em obter informação e formação que os possa atualizar quanto à integração das TIC no currículo. Apresentam-se, ainda, as limitações deste estudo que passaram sobretudo pelo impacto negativo que a eliminação da disciplina provocou na motivação dos docentes e a sua consequente participação no decorrer de algumas fases do trabalho, e ainda da dificuldade de gestão de uma equipa de professores colaboradores tão numerosa e diversificada. Nesse sentido, são também apresentadas sugestões para estudos futuros.
The use of Information and Communication Technologies occupy an increasingly important place in our schools, that are especially marked by the evolution of technology and by the use of many Web 2.0 tools in the educational context. This fact is quite common in the Visual Arts and Technological Education’s subject, which is mainly practical and where it is allowed to explore many digital tools to approach (teach) the subject’s contents, not mentioning the creation of graphical and plastic products. With the emergence of Web 2.0 and the availability of thousands of new digital tools for Internet users, the increasing interest in adopting methodologies and strategies by using these media, is stimulated and supports a more effective and motivating learning for students. Besides, it articulates the traditional supports of Visual Arts and Technological Education with the new digital media. This study is the result of an investigation-action held within the Doctoral Program in Multimedia in Education in the University of Aveiro, where it was implemented the integration of Web, Web 2.0 and Open Source Software tools in the educational context of the Visual Arts and Technological Education’s subject, in which could be used both the most common traditional techniques of performance and the integration and articulation of digital tools supported by free software (and others of free use), Web and Web 2.0 to support the teaching and learning process of many contents and exploration areas of the subject. This study, which was designed in 3 periods, initially involved the creation of an extended community of teachers’s practice and therefore, it was created six training classes, which gathered a total of 112 teachers wishing to integrate digital tools in Visual Arts and Technological Education. In addition to the research, analysis, selection and cataloging of these digital tools to be used in an educational context, from the 430 selected tools 371 user guides to support their use were produced and all the work was has been made available through the space EVTdigital. In a second phase, after the evaluation process, EVTux was created to simplify the access and the use of digital tools in the context of the Visual Arts and Technological Education’s subject. Finally, the third phase stems from the elimination of the subject Visual Arts and Technological Education from the 2nd cycle’s curriculum of basic education and it is replaced by two new subjects, the respective content analysis has been performed and so has the application As ferramentas digitais do Mundo Visual been produced, designed to contextualize and index digital tools selected for the new subject of Visual Education.The results of this study clearly point to the possibility of integrating the subject of Visual Arts and Technological Education (or at present, in Visual Education) digital tools to teach the contents and areas of exploration, as well as the possibility to easily constitute communities of practice (as it was the case) that may assist in cataloging these tools in a specific context of the subject, and the need felt by teachers in obtaining information and training that allow them to update the integration of ICT in the curriculum. We present also the limitations of this study that are related to the negative impact that the elimination of subject caused on the teachers’ motivation and their consequent participation during some phases of the work, not to mention the difficulty felt in managing a team of collaborating teachers as numerous and diverse as this one. Therefore, it is also presented suggestions for future studies.

Full textWe first investigate the computational complexity for estimating quantile based risk measures, such as the widespread Value at Risk for banks and Solvency II capital requirements for insurance companies, via nested Monte Carlo simulations. The estimator is a conditional expectation type estimate where two stage simulations are required to evaluate the risk measure: an outer simulation is used to generate risk factor scenarios that govern price movements and an inner simulation is used to evaluate the future portfolio value based on each of those scenarios. The second essay considers the financial stability from a macro perspective. Measuring negative externalities of banks is a major challenge for financial regulators. We propose a new risk management approach to enhance the financial stability and to increase the fairness of financial transactions. The basic idea is that a bank should assume as much risk as it creates. Any imbalance in the tails of the distribution of profit and losses is a sign of the bank's failure to internalize its externalities or the social costs associated with its activities. The aim of the third essay is to find a theoretical justification toward the mutual benefits for members of a bonking union in the context of a strategic interaction model. We use a unique contagion dynamic that marries the rich literature of game theory, contagion in pandemic crisis and the study of collaboration between regulators. The model is focused toward regulating asset classes, not individual banks. This special design addresses moral hazard issues that could result from government intervention in the case of crisis

Full textAlla företag strävar efter att göra en vinst, men frågan är när ett företag faktiskt uppnått detta.
Stern Stewart & Co är ett amerikanskt konsultbolag som har arbetat fram ett koncept som de kallar Economic Value Added (EVA). Den stora skillnaden mellan detta och övriga vinstmått är att EVA visar att ingen vinst har uppnåtts förrän även kostnaderna för det egna kapitalet, d.v.s. den avkastning som aktieägarna förväntar sig, är täckta. Stern Stewart & Co har marknadsfört EVA som ett helhetskoncept som ska användas för styrning i hela företaget. Den fråga som vi har ställt oss är hur EVA-konceptet ser ut i svenska företag. Syftet med studien är att beskriva EVA-konceptets användningsområden och förklara hur svenska företag arbetar med måttet. För att besvara frågan och uppfylla syftet krävdes en helhetsförståelse över företagens situation, därför har en kvalitativ ansats använts. Undersökningen består av intervjuer som genomförts med fyra företag som använder sig av EVA-konceptet. De resultat vi har fått fram visar att företag anpassar modellen efter sina behov och förutsättningar samt att den används som ett komplement eller kompletteras av andra mått. Vidare har införandet av EVA-konceptet inte någon förankring i att företag vill arbeta mer mot aktieägarnas intressen, utan att syftet med att använda EVA-konceptet har andra skäl.

Full textThe traditional approach of derivatives involves, under certain clearly defined hypothesis, to construct hedging strategies for strictly zero risk. However, in the general case these perfect hedging strategies do not exist, and the theory must be rather based on the idea of risk minimization. In this case, the optimal hedging strategy depends on the amount of risk to be minimized. Under the options approach, we consider here a new measure of risk via the expected utility approach that takes into account both, the moment of order four, which is more sensitive to fluctuations than large variance, and risk aversion of the investor of an option towards risk. Compared to delta hedging, optimization of the variance and maximizing the moment of order four, the hedging strategy, via the expected utilitiy approach, reduces the sensitivy of the hedging approach reported in the underlying asset price. This is likely to reduce the associated transaction costs

Full textThis thesis has set a comprehensive framework to assess the relevance of financial stress tests, identifying their main drawbacks. Three robust and flexible model frameworks have been proposed to improve current practices in each of the tests’ stages. This is achieved through: (i) a semi-parametric EVT–Pair-copulas model for financial risk factors, with a specific focus on extreme values, (ii) a valuation model to assess the impact of risk factors on a financial system, through direct and indirect effects, contagion channels, and considering private and public response functions, and (iii) a Bayesian-based approach to run a systematic selection of stress scenarios for nonlinear portfolios. The presented risk model has proven to outperform commonly used specifications, hence increasing the test’s credibility. Estimated for the French banking system, the valuation model revealed the related risk profile and the main vulnerabilities. Public responses turned to be of vital interest. Finally, the Bayesian approach allows replacing the traditional subjective scenarios and including the tests’ results in quantitative risk management alongside with other conventional tools

Full textTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a modern non invasive method of drug resistant psychiatric disorder treatment. TMS physiology research is hindered by variable, often controversial results. In most studies main attention is being focused on immediate effects after single TMS procedure rather than the influence of a complete therapy course. It is considered that variability of results in TMS practice is caused by different stimulation parameters and imprecision of stimulated area placement in the brain. Although TMS therapy is often viewed as a milder alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), comparative physiological studies of these two methods are very rare. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rTMS therapy course on bioelectrical brain activity and compare it to an ECT effect. Research included the effect of high and low frequency (10 Hz and 1 Hz) TMS on EEG band power spectrum and auditory evoked potential P300, using both standard and neuronavigated target positioning. TMS evoked EEG changes were also compared to the changes of ECT. Change dynamics after several months of TMS therapy were also measured. Results showed that after TMS therapy the most notable change in the brain occurs in the form of delta power increase. When using standard positioning 10 Hz TMS evokes more diverse and intense EEG band power spectrum changes than the 1 Hz TMS. Application of neuronavigation system decreases theta and alpha band power changes in 10 Hz TMS... [to full text]

Full textThe occurring of the cyclic Eastern Mediterranean Transient and the climatic change have effects on the Levantine marine ecosystem. Understanding the response of zooplankton to such variations is of importance for ecosystem services. This thesis represents a pioneer study in enlightening the seasonality and the interannuality, as well as the spectra size of the zooplankton at a fix point B2 (N34º14.856; E35º36.067, North Lebanon). In this context, a 14 years unique time-series was conducted by a 52 µm mesh size net and analyzed with a powerful synthetic index, the Zooscan to monitor changes in the pelagic system. The results found that the maximum zooplankton biomass was coupled to the phytoplankton spring bloom, whereas abundances increased in the summer possibly due to the recruitment. Following the EMT-like in 2005, the salinity increased in the study area and the whole basin. Zooplankton abundance and biomass increased abruptly possibly related to the enhanced primary production which is hidden by the "top down" control by zooplankton. Moreover, the nutrients enrichment of anthropogenic origin at the sea surface characterized the site by more or less productive occasional periods. The zooplankton size structure has also changed along the period depending on the hydrological factors. The spectral slope analysis showed an interannual variability according to the abundances. While the spectra shape analysis displayed a domination of big size individuals during winter and spring seasons. This automatic measurement highlighted the efficiency of detecting changes in zooplankton that can be related to broader ecosystem perturbation

Full textWe learn from a study of the evolution of agricultural structures in the angads plain that its economy developed from an agro-pastoral one to a "modern" one. This change brought about transformations in the angadian rural space which resulted in the emergence of individual property. In effect the impact of the agrarian historical past and the influence of climatic and proprietary constrains still play an important role in the traditional system of farming of agricultural land. Moreover, the recent intervention of elements outside the rural world (ownership of land in rural zones by town dwellers, the influence of the city, the creation of state-owned agricultural co-operatives, etc. ) has transformed rural society both economically and socially. Consequently, we have been able to conclude that these partial changes do not affect the entire angadian society. This has brought about socio-economic enequalities in the rural milieu, which reveal a conservative agricultural policy

Full textMany constraints can impede the broad-scale monitoring needed to assess and mitigate human-induced loss of biodiversity. The use of indicator species of species assemblage can simplify the monitoring of biodiversity based on a limited number of species. Despite promising fine-scale studies, it remains unclear whether indicator species remain effective over broad spatial extents. Using 22,041 point-counts coming from breeding bird atlases, we assessed the value of indicator species to consistently predict bird species richness despite variation in climate conditions observed over 1.75 M km2 of boreal forest. To test for the effect of climate conditions on species assemblages, we partitioned our study area into eight relatively similar climatic regions. Using null model analyses of species co-occurrence, we identified the minimum number of indicator species required to predict 70% of the variation in species richness in each of the climatic regions. Although we were able to identify a small number of indicator species in each climatic region, we observed that the identity of indicator species varied strongly among regions. When species remained an indicator in several climatic regions, they were representative of different species assemblages. This study shows that species currently identified as indicators may no longer indicate the same species assemblage in a near future. Broad-scale use of indicators thus comes with the challenge of having to determine under which new conditions a given set of indicators must be replaced by another, and by which one.

Full textThe Niokolo-Koba National Park was created in 1926. In 1969, some villagers were expelled from the lands where they had lived and relocated on the fringe of the national park. That step was in keeping with a policy of "hard protection" of biodiversity and a disregard for the Malinke community, which was considered as incapable of managing the environment without degrading it. Nevertheless, what we call "nature" here is the result of a complex coevolution of the Malinke community and their environment, a coevolution of which plant formations are both an interface and a signature. The "savannahs" or dry forests result from a recolonizing by ligneous plants of previously cultivated areas, the diversity and physionomy of which are conditioned by bushfires and the duration of the fallow period. These are environments which have been "domesticated" over the years. The land use restrictions linked with the national park development and the limitations imposed by the preservation of the Diambour classified forest have brought about a shortage of arable land in some places. These conditions have forced the local populations to reduce the duration of the fallow period and have brought about the disappearance of fallow areas. The existence of protected areas generally leads to a transformation of attitudes, thereby modifying society's perception of the environment. All these factors have served to impoverish the forest, which has given way to unexceptional landscapes following the loss of several types of sudanian plant formations

Full textThe inventory of the celtic coins of Tène finale, made it possible to collect in the public and prived collections of the East of France, a corpus of 3655 currencies of which more than 40% were new. This provides a sample which authorizes typological analyses and geographical distributions. As the old lucky finds are often deprived of archaeological context, the questions of the appearance, of the circulation of the series, their internal chronology or the relative chronology of the series between them, can still make debate. 301 monetary types and alternatives, distributed between « potins », bronzes, silver moneys and gold, were identified, resulting from diversified contexts (from oppida, agglomerations, habitats, tombs, sanctuaries or caves) but no producing center is not discernible. The emergence of local facies makes it possible to wonder about the chronology and the statute of the productions and shows that the currencies of strong value circulate precociously, on privileged territories; that the same monetary facies links the sites of comparable nature, although the oppida deliver specific sets of their row; and that a « potin » of confidential diffusion, characterizes an emission close to Mandeure. The analysis of the monetary geography allows the description of many variety of « Kaletedoy » denarius and « potins à la grosse tete » which are diffused preferentially on the « séquane » territory. In the same way, of the facies numismatics determine geographical entities and pose the problem of the territorial limits. In fact, the hour is not any more to allot, coinings with transmitting people, but to reason, with charts of distribution of the celtic currencies

Full textBackground: Obesity has transitioned from an individual health concern to being a national problem with almost two‐thirds of the adult population in the United States now overweight or obese1. Television potentially provides a medium in which to model healthy and unhealthy behaviors to millions of viewers each week. Although there is no quick solution to obesity, promoting and normalizing healthy lifestyles in today’s most viewed shows may be one tool to help combat an obesogenic lifestyle. Research Question: To what degree do today’s most popular sitcoms model healthy and unhealthy behaviors? Methods: A scorecard with 11 behaviors (6 healthy and 5 unhealthy) was created using publically published guidelines from the Center for Disease Control (CDC)1,2,3, World Health Organization (WHO)4, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)5,6. The top three sitcoms for the 2013‐2014 season, as determined by TV Guide, were viewed and analyzed by one evaluator. These included The Big Bang Theory, The Millers, and Modern Family7. Results: In total, 898 unhealthy behaviors and 532 healthy behaviors were portrayed. The Big Bang Theory demonstrated the most behaviors overall and had the most favorable ratio of healthy to unhealthy behaviors at 1/1.1, compared to 1/3.8 for The Millers and 1/3.2 for Modern Family. The most common unhealthy behavior viewed was beverage choice with 492 occurrences. One of the least portrayed healthy behaviors was moderate physical activity with only 47 instances. In two of the three shows, there were remarkably few examples of fruit and vegetable consumption. Conclusion: Today’s top three sitcoms expose their viewers to many healthy and unhealthy behaviors during the span of a 22‐minute show. Significantly more unhealthy behaviors were portrayed than healthy behaviors. The most common unhealthy behavior centered on beverage choice. This is a behavior that can easily be adjusted to promote a healthier lifestyle. Additionally, food content could reflect more healthy choices. Television shows reach millions of viewers each week and may prove to be a useful tool in helping to reinforce and normalize healthy lifestyle choices.

Full textBladder cancer is the 4th cancer in the world. The mortality is principally caused by metastatic dissemination. Currently, no medicine can controle the relapse, and the metastatic dissemination. The principal therapeutic stategy is the contrôle of dissemination. Le mecanisme of metastate synthesis is knowed, and implicate the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) who change epithelial cells in mesenchymental cell and acquisition of invasivity. In this work, 2 questions are asking. The Twist1 protein who‘s a central regulator of EMT, can be a new prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic target in bladder cancer ? The use of a new anti-invasif drug saracatinib, can be a new treatment in the bladder cancer. To answer at this questions, we carcaterise your cells lines for Twist1 and main EMT marquers (E-cadhérine, N-cadhérine, vimentine). Than we test pharmacology response (cytotoxicity and anti-invasivity) of cells lines for saracatinib. The Twist1 expression is very disappointing, only one cells line is expressing Twist1, poorly, and non homogenous. Twist1 is not a good target in bladder cancer. The cytotoxic sensibility is linked to E-cadherin expression. However, there is no relation between E-cadherin expression and anti-invasive action for saracatinib. All the cells lines are sensitive. In the cells line SD48 (E-cadherin positive), there is an increase of E-cadherin protein, and a localisation at the membrane under saracatinib treatment. The saracatinib seem to use E-cadherin pathway, but thys way not expliquate all the action
