Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche tente de répondre à deux questions, celle posée par un numéro de la Revue d'histoire des religions : "qu'est-ce qu'un dieu ?" et celle liée à la définition de la catégorie du féminin dans la pensée symbolique des égyptiens. L'étude d'Harsiesis, l'un des avatars du dieu-fils osirien, offre matière à cerner le phénomène de la genèse d'un dieu. Sa création date du moyen empire ; ses origines remontent à l'élaboration du mythe osirien, lorsque se mettait en place l'institution pharaonique, à l'ancien empire. Il nait donc dans un contexte bien précis, celui de la restauration du pouvoir monarchique. L'histoire religieuse reflète un fait d'anthropologie, la priorité accordée à cette époque à la filiation matrilinéaire dans l'énonce de l'identité individuelle. Une fois date l'acte de naissance de la forme Harsiesis, ce travail s'est attaché à circonscrire les compétences d'Harsiesis, afin de vérifier que la définition "fils d'Isis" accolée au nom d'Horus ne constitue pas une simple épithète contingente, interchangeable avec celles de "fils d'Osiris", de "curateur de son père", ou d'"enfant", mais qu'elle doit être comprise comme une unité de sens insécable, marquant l'identité d'un dieu nouveau, diffèrent du dieu source et des autres avatars. La grille d'appréciation retenue regroupe les trois aspects revêtus par le langage religieux : l'expression orale, la représentation figurée, l'action rituelle. Les raisons de la singularité d'Harsiesis découlent des implications attachées au nom de la mère, les qualités attribuées au lait d’Isis notamment. Incarnant la bipolarité de l'enfance, inaccomplissement/accomplissement, Harsiesis a cristallisé, au cours du premier millénaire, la foi en des temps meilleurs; à une monarchie menacée, il fournissait une référence immuable de légitimité; aux consciences inquiètes du trouble des temps, il offrait l'exemple d'un être qui en dépit de sa fragilité est assuré de triompher de tous les dangers.

Full textAbstract:
The 5th and 6th Dynasty Pyramid Texts are the earliest extensive Egyptian religious texts from a royal mortuary context. This is our earliest evidence for the Eye of Horus; the aim of this study is to establish exactly what can be learned about its early usage as a symbol and to seek any hints about its origins. The spells mentioning the Eye of Horus are grouped by theme in the sections in Part One (eg. offering spells, ascension spells); references to the eyes of the king and other divine eyes are included for comparative purposes. There is a translation and commentary for each text; the grammar and context are evaluated. The chapters in Part Two contain discussions of the Eye of Horus' symbolism in the thematic groups. The Eye of Horus is supreme as a ritual, symbol for offerings presented to the läng by his son, Horus. The powers that the king gains from the Eye are the restoration of his faculties, transfiguration to a blessed spirit (3b) and a god; these are the general aims of the whole mortuary scenario. The king is also involved in the mythical fate of the Eye of Horus, namely its injury and restoration, as part of his ascension and integration into the afterlife. The role of other divine eyes in the PT and the significance attached to the king's eyes suggest strongly that the symbolic singular Eye of a god could be a succinct and transferable expression of his power. The many cross-cultural parallels of the eye as a source of power support this origin of divine eye symbolism in Egypt. The royal stature of Horus suggests why his Eye, in particular, achieved such prominence

Full textAbstract:
Le formulaire de calcul neutronique HORUS3D/N dédié au Réacteur Jules Horowitz (RJH), sert aux études de conception et de sûreté du réacteur. La maîtrise de l'ensemble des paramètres neutroniques du RJH doit être assurée pour l'instruction du rapport de sûreté de l'installation. Ce travail de recherche s'inscrit dans cet objectif et s'attache à la détermination, la maîtrise et la réduction des incertitudes dues aux données nucléaires sur la réactivité du Réacteur Jules Horowitz (RJH). Une démarche rigoureuse et générique a été mise en place : c'est un ensemble cohérent, complet et incrémental qui permet l'identification et la quantification de l'ensemble des sources d'incertitudes et qui a abouti à la maîtrise du biais et des incertitudes dus aux données nucléaires sur la réactivité du cas étudié : le Réacteur Jules Horowitz. Cette méthode est basée sur une succession d'études : l'élaboration d'un jeu de matrices de variance-covariance cohérentes concernant les données nucléaires des isotopes d'intérêt, les études de sensibilité aux données nucléaires de l'expérience et de l'application étudiées, la détermination fine des incertitudes technologiques par la mise en œuvre d'une méthode innovante une étude de transposition estimant le biais et l'incertitude a posteriori dus aux données nucléaires sur l'application étudiée. Les différentes étapes s'appuient sur les outils de calcul de référence du CEA (code de calcul Monte-Carlo TRIPOLI4, codes déterministes APOLLO2 et CRONOS2, code d'évaluation CONRAD), l'évaluation de données nucléaires JEFF-3.1.1 et des méthodes de propagation, marginalisation et de transposition des incertitudes. La propagation des incertitudes sur les données nucléaires contenues dans les matrices de variance-covariance conclut à une incertitude a priori de 637 pcm (1σ) sur la réactivité du RJH pour le combustible U3Si2Al enrichi à 19.75% en 235U. L'interprétation des mesures d'oscillation d'échantillons du programme VALMONT dans le réacteur MINERVE a permis la qualification des données nucléaires relatives au combustible du RJH de l'évaluation JEFF-3.1.1 et a mis en évidence la cohérence de leurs incertitudes. Ainsi, l'interprétation de la réactivité du cœur AMMON/Référence a été réalisée avec l'évaluation JEFF-3.1.1 (et le code de référence TRIPOLI4). Un écart calcul/expérience de +376 pcm est observé. Une étude fine de détermination des incertitudes sur la réactivité de la configuration de référence aboutit à 340 pcm (1σ) dues aux incertitudes technologiques et à 671 pcm (1σ) dues aux incertitudes sur les données nucléaires. La transposition du biais et des incertitudes de l'expérience AMMON/Référence est réalisable grâce à l'excellente représentativité de cette dernière vis-à-vis du RJH. La réduction d'un facteur 2 sur l'incertitude à appliquer sur la réactivité début de vie du RJH est ainsi obtenue, ce qui équivaut à un gain d'environ deux jours équivalents pleine puissance (1σ) sur la longueur de cycle. Ainsi, le biais et l'incertitude associée à retenir pour un combustible U3Si2Al enrichi à 19.75 % en 235U, et un cœur RJH critique non barré (réflecteur nu) en début de vie sont de +266 ± 352 pcm (1σ).

This project focuses on Horus Gilgamesh’s Awkward Moments of the Children’s Bible, Vol. 1 (2013), an adult picture book that parodies the Bible by illustrating biblical scriptures with child unfriendly images of gore, sex, and God’s sexy ass. Using semiotic, religious, and queer theory, I read this text as not only a satirical one, but one that is life affirming to “childish adults”—those individuals who don’t quite fit into the heteropatriachichal standards normalized by religious right ideologies.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is the result of a study on the science fiction novel Horus Rising, by Dan Abnett, which is set in the universe of the Warhammer 40 000 franchise. In the novel, the human Imperium is engaged in a colonizing project of massive proportions: the conquest of a galaxy. Due to the nature of the Imperium’s colonial endeavour, the analysis is based mainly on a postcolonial perspective. The aim of the essay is to show how the Imperium uses colonial discourse to justify conquest. My claim is that they violate the diversity and needs of the human race and that the human need of religion is used to resist the conquest. To do this, the justifications and the resistance of the conquest will be investigated, as well as the nature of the human race, i.e. what it means to be human in the novel.

This thesis concerns the cultural landscape in the Theban area during the Middle Kingdom, under the reign of Montuhotep III. What part he played in the connection of the Theban landscape was studied. The outlook point was the only temple that Montuhotep III founded in the Theban area, looking out over contemporary sites. The visibility in the Theban area during the early Middle Kingdom were studied by using Geographic Information System and interpreted by using phenome-nology. The viewshed analysis showed that three out of six contempo-rary sites were visible from Thoth Hill. This information was then used to interpret the choice of location.

Full textAbstract:
L’objet de cette thèse est de contribuer à la connaissance de l’histoire de la 22e province de Haute Égypte (Méténou) et de sa métropole (Tepytihout) dont les vestiges sont visibles aujourd’hui à Atfih. La documentation réunie est essentiellement de nature philologique – le site a bénéficié de très peu de fouilles archéologiques – et religieuse. Grâce à celle-ci, plusieurs aspects relatifs à la géographie sacrée et aux cultes de cette province peuvent être mis en relief. Dans un premier temps, l’étude de la toponymie a permis d’identifier quelques territoires, puis de définir certaines légendes mythologiques qui leur sont liés. Quelques échanges entre la 22e province de Haute Égypte et les régions qui lui sont limitrophes ont ensuite été mis en avant : influences religieuses venues du Delta, liens très anciens et qui perdurent jusqu’à l’époque romaine avec le Fayoum, mythes communs avec les 17e et 18e provinces de Haute Égypte. Dans un deuxième temps, la nature des divinités dont le culte est pour l’heure attesté dans la province a été analysée. L’étude des déesses, Hathor, Isis, Hésat et Neith, s’est conclue sur l’hypothèse que l’entité divine « Première des vaches », qui donne son nom à la capitale provinciale Tepytihout, est originaire du Fayoum. Il a ensuite été mis en avant que, à l’exception de l’ancien dieu Sobek, les divinités masculines vénérées dans la province, Harmotès et Osiris, ont été introduites tardivement au panthéon localThe aim of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of the history of the 22nd province of Upper Egypt (Metenou) and its metropolis (Tepytihout) which remains are visible today at Atfih. The documentation collected is essentially of philological nature – the site has benefited from limited excavations – and religious. Thanks to this, several aspects with regard to sacred geography and worships of this province can be explained. Firstly, the study of the toponymy has allowed to identify some territories, then to define some mythological legends which are attached to them. Then, several exchanges between the 22nd province of Upper Egypt and the neighbouring regions are highlighted : religious influences coming from the Delta, very old links with the Fayum, which continue until the Roman period and common myths with the 17th and 18th provinces of Upper Egypt. Secondly, the nature of divinities, whose worship is currently attested in the province, is analysed. The study of the goddesses, Hathor, Isis, Hesat and Neith, suggests the possibility that the divine entity ‘First of the Cows’, which gives her name to the provincial capital Tepytihout, originates from the Fayum. Then, it is highlighted that, except for the god Sobek, masculine divinities which are venerated in the province, Harmotes and Osiris, were placed later within the local pantheon

Full textAbstract:
Shared clusters represent an excellent platform for the execution of parallel applications given their low price/performance ratio and the presence of cluster infrastructure in many organisations. The focus of recent research efforts are on parallelism management, transport and efficient access to resources, and making clusters easy to use. In this thesis, we examine reliable parallel computing on clusters. The aim of this research is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing an operating system facility providing transport fault tolerance using existing, enhanced and newly built operating system services for supporting parallel applications. In particular, we use existing process duplication and process migration services, and synthesise a group communications facility for use in a transparent checkpointing facility. This research is carried out using the methods of experimental computer science.
To provide a foundation for the synthesis of the group communications and checkpointing facilities, we survey and review related work in both fields. For group communications, we examine the V Distributed System, the x-kernel and Psync, the ISIS Toolkit, and Horus. We identify a need for services that consider the placement of processes on computers in the cluster. For Checkpointing, we examine Manetho, KeyKOS, libckpt, and Diskless Checkpointing. We observe the use of remote computer memories for storing checkpoints, and the use of copy-on-write mechanisms to reduce the time to create a checkpoint of a process.
We propose a group communications facility providing two sets of services: user-oriented services and system-oriented services. User-oriented services provide transparency and target application. System-oriented services supplement the user-oriented services for supporting other operating systems services and do not provide transparency. Additional flexibility is achieved by providing delivery and ordering semantics independently.
An operating system facility providing transparent checkpointing is synthesised using coordinated checkpointing. To ensure a consistent set of checkpoints are generated by the facility, instead of blindly blocking the processes of a parallel application, only non-deterministic events are blocked. This allows the processes of the parallel application to continue execution during the checkpoint operation. Checkpoints are created by adapting process duplication mechanisms, and checkpoint data is transferred to remote computer memories and disk for storage using the mechanisms of process migration. The services of the group communications facility are used to coordinate the checkpoint operation, and to transport checkpoint data to remote computer memories and disk.
Both the group communications facility and the checkpointing facility have been implemented in the GENESIS cluster operating system and provide proof-of-concept. GENESIS uses a microkernel and client-server based operating system architecture, and is demonstrated to provide an appropriate environment for the development of these facilities.
We design a number of experiments to test the performance of both the group communications facility and checkpointing facility, and to provide proof-of-performance. We present our approach to testing, the challenges raised in testing the facilities, and how we overcome them. For group communications, we examine the performance of a number of delivery semantics. Good speed-ups are observed and system-oriented group communication services are shown to provide significant performance advantages over user-oriented semantics in the presence of packet loss. For checkpointing, we examine the scalability of the facility given different levels of resource usage and a variable number of computers. Low overheads are observed for checkpointing a parallel application.
It is made clear by this research that the microkernel and client-server based cluster operating system provide an ideal environment for the development of a high performance group communications facility and a transparent checkpointing facility for generating a platform for reliable parallel computing on clusters.

Trouchaud, Céline. "Les portraits d'enfants porteurs de l'Horuslocke dans le monde gréco-romain." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019TOU20107.
Full textAbstract:
L'étude présentée dans le cadre de cette thèse a pour sujet les portraits d'enfants gréco-romains identifiés comme porteurs d'une coiffure désignée depuis les premiers travaux fondamentaux entrepris sur la question dans les années 1950 sous l'appellation « Horuslocke », « mèche d'Horus ». Cet arrangement capillaire se caractérise par la présence d'une mèche, laissée libre ou tressée, qui se détache du reste de la chevelure, celle-ci pouvant être, selon les exemples, longue, courte, voire rasée. La mèche est généralement figurée sur le côté droit de la tête mais peut également apparaître sur le côté gauche, à l'arrière ou au sommet de la tête. Comme l'implique la terminologie qui lui est associée, cette coiffure serait originaire d’Égypte où elle est attestée depuis l'Ancien Empire (2600 avant J.-C.-2200 avant J.-C.). Son usage se diffuse hors de la sphère égyptienne à partir du IIIe siècle avant J.-C. et connaît son apogée au IIIe siècle après J.-C. dans le contexte de l'Empire romain. L'évolution de ce symbole à l'époque gréco-romaine a fait l'objet de plusieurs interprétations qui jalonnent l'historiographie qui lui est consacrée : marqueur d'âge jouant un rôle dans le cadre de rites de passage, signe d'une initiation cultuelle, plus précisément aux cultes isiaques, marque identitaire ou encore indication d'un statut social. À la croisée entre Histoire de l'art et Histoire des Religions, l'étude de ces portraits nous amène à nous intéresser à plusieurs thématiques, de la représentation de l'enfant dans l'Antiquité, à sa place et son rôle dans les cultes, notamment les cultes isiaques, ainsi qu'aux questions concernant l'initiation et les pratiques d'oblation cultuelle dans le monde gréco-romain. À travers ce motif iconographique, une part de l'identité culturelle et sociale des enfants représentés se dévoileThe study presented as part of this thesis looks at graeco-roman portraits of children who were identified as carrier of a hairstyle which was qualified as “Horuslocke”, “the Horus sidelock”, during the first research on this topic in the 1950s. This hairstyle is characterised by a long lock of hair, either let loose or braided, separated from the rest of the hair which can be either long, short, or even shaved. The sidelock is generally represented on the right side of the head. However, it can also appear on the left side, on the back or on the top of the head. As its terminology implies, this hairstyle would originate from Egypt, where it existed since the Ancient Empire (2600 B.C.-2200 B.C.). Its use spread outside of the Egyptian sphere from the 3rd century B.C. It reached its peak in the 3rd century A.D in the Roman Empire. The evolution of this symbol during the graeco-roman period was subjected to different interpretations which punctuate the historiography devoted to it: age indicator playing a role in the rite of passage, sign of a cult initiation -more specifically in the Isiac cult, identity marker, or sometimes indication of a social status. At the crossroad between the History of Art and the History of Religion, the study of this portraits puts into light a few thematics, from the representation of children in Antiquity, to their places and roles in cults, particularly in the Isiac cult, along with questions regarding the initiation and practice of cultual offering in the graeco-roman world. Through this iconographic pattern, a part of the cultural and social identity of the children is unveiled

Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Social e das Organizações, apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto UniversitárioO presente trabalho propõe-se a estudar o efeito da experiência de recuperação, horas de trabalho e estabilidade no emprego no equilíbrio trabalho-vida. Adicionalmente explorou-se o efeito mediador da experiência de recuperação na relação entre horas de trabalho e equilíbrio trabalho-vida. Consideraram-se 174 participantes neste trabalho sendo que todos se encontravam a trabalhar no momento em que responderam ao questionário. A amostra recolhida foi bastante heterogenia, havendo uma predominância de participantes do sexo feminino (112 sujeitos), com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 65 anos, sendo na sua maioria licenciados (48,3%). Sendo o objetivo deste estudo testar o efeito mediador da experiência de recuperação na relação entre horas de trabalho e equilíbrio trabalho-vida, recorreu-se a uma análise de equações estruturais. Apesar de não se ter confirmado essa hipótese, realizou-se uma análise de carácter exploratório, tendo sido encontrado um efeito mediador do distanciamento psicológico na relação entre horas da atividade principal e equilíbrio trabalho-vida. Todas as variáveis demonstraram um efeito preditivo no equilíbrio trabalho-vida à exceção da estabilidade no emprego. Os resultados encontrados neste estudo permitem alertar as organizações para a importância de algumas práticas para o bom equilíbrio trabalho-vida, tão importante na vida dos indivíduos. Várias teorias suportam a ideia de que este equilíbrio é fundamental para o bom desempenho de ambos os papéis e para o bem-estar dos indivíduos. Permitem também consciencializar os trabalhadores, de que é possível recuperar das exigências laborais, desde que haja um empenho na experiência de recuperação.
ABSTRACT: The present research aims to study the effect of recovery experience, hours worked and job security in the work-life balance. For this study were considered 174 (all employed at the moment) and the sample collected was very distintic, having a predominance of women (112 subjects) with ages between 19 and 65 years old. Most part of them were graduated (48,3%). As the objective of this investigation was to study the mediator effect of recovery experiences in the relationship between hours worked and work-life balance, the data were analyzed with a structural equation modeling. As the hypothesis was not confirmed, exploratory analyzes were made, that suggested a mediator effect of psychological detachment in the relation between hours worked and work-life balance. All the variables showed a predictive effect on work-life balance with exception of job security. The results of this study are an alert to all organizations about the importance of some practices to accomplish a satisfying work-life balance, so important in individuals’ life. Several theories support the idea that this balance is crucial to a good performance in both roles (personal and professional) and for individuals’ well-being. They also allow workers to understand that it is possible to recover from work demands, as long as there’s a significant investment in the recovery experience.

Full textAbstract:
Tendo por teoria norteadora a Semiótica Discursiva de linha francesa analisamos o filme As horas (The Hours, Stephen Daldry, 2002), adaptação fílmica do romance homônimo de Michael Cunningham (The Hours, 1998). Embora se trate de uma adaptação intersemiótica, não fazemos aqui um estudo sobre este tema. Nosso principal objetivo é analisar o filme As horas à luz da Semiótica Discursiva, identificando os elementos intertextuais contidos no filme e desvelando o papel destes no processo de construção dos efeitos de sentido da obra. O corpus escolhido é constituído por diversos intertextos, já que se trata de uma obra baseada no romance Mrs. Dalloway (WOOLF, 2003 [1925]) e na biografia de Virginia Woolf, proporcionando assim vários níveis de leitura. Sua análise é, portanto, desafiadora, principalmente quanto ao recorte a ser adotado. O texto apresenta diferentes níveis de produção de efeitos de sentido, dependentes da competência do enunciatário em identificar remissões ou citações ali presentes. Partimos de uma análise imanente estrita ao filme baseando-nos na teoria semiótica clássica (GREIMAS; COURTÉS, 2008 [1979]), na semiótica tensiva (ZILBERBERG, 2006 [1988] & FONTANILLE, 1995) e na sociossemiótica (LANDOWSKI, 2004; 2005a; 2005b) , passamos pelas questões de intratextualidade (GREIMAS; COURTÉS, 1986) e de enunciação enunciada (DONDERO, 2013a; 2013b; 2014), mostrando como o filme reflete sobre si mesmo e sobre o fazer literário, adquirindo um caráter metassemiótico (KLINKENBERG, 2000), e finalizamos pela discussão sobre a intertextualidade do filme (FIORIN, 2003) e sobre sua autonomia enquanto produtor de sentido (DISCINI, 2004 [2001]).The movie The Hours (Stephen Daldry, 2002), a filmic adaptation of the homonymous novel by Michael Cunningham (The Hours, 1998) is analyzed within the framework of Discourse Semiotics. Our main objective is the identification of the intertextual elements and the unveiling of their role in the process of construction of meaning effects deriving from the film. The chosen corpus consists of several intertexts, since it is based on Virgina Woolfs novel Mrs. Dalloway (first published in 1925) and on Woolfs biography, providing several levels of pertinence for interpretation and thus several levels of interpretation. Its analysis is, therefore, challenging, especially regarding the level of pertinence to be adopted. The text offers different levels of production of meaning effects, which depend on the competence of the enunciatee to identify references or citations. We start with an immanent analysis, i.e. strict to the movie, based on classic semiotics methodology (GREIMAS; COURTÉS, 2008 [1979]) and on its most recent developments (ZILBERBERG, 2006 [1988]; FONTANILLE, 1995; LANDOWSKI, 2004; 2005a; 2005b). We also treat issues such as intratextuality (GREIMAS; COURTÉS, 1986) and enunciated enunciation (DONDERO, 2013a; 2013b; 2014), showing how the movie reflects itself and the literary creation process, establishing itself as a metasemiotic object (KLINKENBERG, 2000). Finally, we discuss its intertextual figures (FIORIN, 2003) and its autonomy in the process of producing meaning (DISCINI, 2004 [2001]).

This thesis is about the business of nursing; the making and remaking of nurses’ work in the context of private healthcare. Nurses in Australia, as in other countries around the world, have experienced considerable workplace changes over the past 15 years due to governments and public and private healthcare organisations seeking to reform healthcare service delivery. These reforms have significantly changed not only how private hospitals manage care, but the nursing role in practice. This ethnographic study explores the impact of these reforms on nurses’ work in one Australian acute care private hospital. It critically examines nurses’ organising practices in light of the workload measurement method used to staff the hospital, unit and ward with minimum staffing. Using Foucault’s (1972) archaeological approach and drawing upon governmentality theory as the analytical framework, I will argue that within the political rationality of neo-liberalism, ‘care’ in nursing is a technology of governance. As such, nurses’ ‘care’ transforms contemporary healthcare policy, in particular policy pertaining to private healthcare, from a macro to the micro level of everyday practice. Care is the means of producing a ‘business savvy’ nurse; someone who is not only an expert clinician with transferable skills but who knows the private health market and is able to work within a competitive business environment. Analysis reveals the contradictions and tensions that exist for nurses between the clinical and economic foci, and the economics and business of health as the nursing role is played out within the organisational imperatives of their work. This study illustrates the shifting boundaries of nurses’ work in relation to the ascendancy of business concerns in healthcare delivery. While methods of workload measurement may well represent what counts as the nursing hours in healthcare organisations, the nurses in this study spoke at length of the strategies they used to make the nursing hours ‘work’. Findings indicate that nurses employ specific discursive strategies when talking about ‘nursing hours’. When addressing their workloads, their discourses centred on the business of care delivery, of nurse-to-patient ‘allocations’ and ‘handover’, or the many instances of ‘handing over’ their work. The study challenges nurses’ professional discourses about what nursing is, what nurses actually do and the sophistication with which this is accomplished at work. Conceiving of nurses’ work in terms of ‘nursing’ hours rather than patients in the business of health service delivery provides a different way of thinking about nursing workforce issues at a time when healthcare organisations and systems worldwide grapple with the question of how many nurses and what kind of nurses they need.

Dissertação para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Arquitectura com Especialização em Urbanismo, apresentada na Universidade de Lisboa - Faculdade de Arquitectura.O presente Trabalho Final de Mestrado tem como proposta a integração da 2ª Circular, no contexto urbano envolvente através do peão. Trata-se de uma infraestrutura viária, com caraterísticas de uma via rápida e de grande importância na dinâmica da cidade de Lisboa, que provoca uma descontinuidade na sua permeabilidade da cidade. Os problemas ecológicos que o seu congestionamento acarreta e, sobretudo por se encontrar ladeada de um tecido urbano maioritariamente consolidado, fazem com que a sua estrutura seja posta em questão. Consequentemente, é proposto pelo PDM de 2012 a reconversão da mesma numa avenida urbana para unir as margens.
ABSTRACT: This final work proposes the integration of 2ª Circular, a road infrastructure with characteristics of a highway of a great importance in dynamic of the city of Lisbon which provokes a discontinuity in its permeability. Due to the ecological problems its congestion causes and its location within an urban setting, its design has come under question. Consequently the 2012 PDM proposes the reconversion of the road in to an urban avenue to connect the two sides. This report represent a crucial element in the proposal resolution of the aforementioned problem, were theoretical reflection are addressed, and project fundamental to its urban design, which prioritize pedestrian, to create a more ecological .city. The majority of the world's population lives in cities and as such urban design is crucial to the quality of life of their inhabitants. Public space must therefore, be conceived with the pedestrian mind. The need to make these cities more self-sustainable puts an emphasis on more active modes of transport. In addition, the importance of reducing commuting distances requires more compact cities. Though a great diversity of land use, pedestrian movement become a more attractive during 24 hours , whist creating a safer environment as whole.

Mestrado em Economia Monetária e FinanceiraReduzir o número de horas de trabalho normal é uma medida que tem sido adotada em muitos países com o objetivo de reduzir o desemprego, através da distribuição do trabalho por mais trabalhadores. Neste estudo é analisado o efeito do work sharing na economia portuguesa, particularmente comparando o que acontece, em termos de emprego, nos estabelecimentos que reduzem o número de horas de trabalho normal com aqueles que mantém ou aumentam esse número. Pode ser observado que a diminuição do número de horas normal tem um efeito significativo no aumento do emprego nos estabelecimentos, o que significa que uma redução do número de horas de trabalho normal pode ter um efeito significativo, mas pequeno, no aumento do emprego.
Reducing the number of standard working hours is a measure that has been used in many countries in order to reduce unemployment, by distributing work for more workers. In this study it is analyzed the effect of work sharing in the Portuguese economy, particularly by comparing the consequences, regarding employment, in establishments that reduce the number of standard working hours with those that maintain or increase it. It can be observed that the reduction of standard working hours have a significant effect on increasing employment of establishments. This means that the reduction of standard working hours may have a significant, but small effect on increasing employment of establishments.

Análise da temática da morte e da linguagem e estrutura musical em Ópera dos Mortos, de Autran Dourado, ressaltando a importância de uma leitura sócio-antropológica da obra. Embasa-se nos conceitos de alegoria de Walter Benjamin e de estrutura do mito, de Lévi-Strauss. Ressalta ser a morte (em sua dimensão física, metafísica, individual e social) a grande protagonista da ópera de Autran e estabelece a correlação entre estrutura formal e conteúdo: para retratar um universo cindido e plural, no qual cada voz introduz um fragmento distinto da (H)história, o tom musical assume a forma de uma fuga. Da bissetriz impossível destas vozes deriva a figura suprema da alegoria autraniana: a desintegração da experiência individual e coletiva.

Le risque de détention arbitraire est inhérent à toute action répressive et il s'accroît lorsque l'individu est détenu sans avoir été jugé. N'est-il pas présumé innocent, aux termes de l'article 9 de la Déclaration de 1789 ? Pourtant, les nécessités de la recherche judiciaire et la préservation de l'ordre public ont depuis longtemps justifié la détention temporaire. L'incarcération hors jugement est acceptée dans la mesure où elle est encadrée par des procédures précises. Cependant, souvent considérées comme contraires aux principes fondamentaux elles sont fréquemment remises en cause. C'est pourquoi l'objectif premier doit être la recherche de mesures, moins privatives de droit, qui permettent le plus possible, d'éviter que la personne soit privée de liberté. Des propositions en ce sens peuvent être faites, comme par exemple un renforcement de l'accompagnement psychologique, ou une modification du rapport à l'idée de contrainte, mais cela engendrerait une profonde transformation du système françaisThe risk of arbitrary detention is inherent to any repressive action and it increases when the individual is detained without having been judged. Is not he presumed innocent, at the end of the article 9 of the Declaration of 1789? Nevertheless, the necessities of the judicial research and the conservation of the law and order justified for a long time the temporary detention. The imprisonment without judgment is accepted as far as it is framed by precise procedures. However, often considered as opposite in the fundamental principles they are frequently questioned. That is why the first objective has to be the research for measures, less privative of rights, which allow as much as possible to avoid that the person is deprived of liberty. Propositions in this way can be made, as for example an intensification of the psychological accompaniment, or a modification of the relation to the idea of constraint, but that would generate a deep transformation of the French system

Neste trabalho é apresentado estudo sobre a racionalização da operação numa empresa de ônibus que realiza transporte fretado de funcionérios de empresas e de escolas. O estudo consistiu no levantamento completo e detalhado dos serviços prestados pela empresa, na análise do sistema de operação empregado visando identificar possíveis estratégias para racionalização da operação sem prejuízo da qualidade, no desenvolvimento dos planos para implementação desses planos. Na primeira parte do trabalho é apresentada a fundamentação teórica do estudo, com discussão do problema da racionalização no transporte de pessoas e produtos e do conceito de qualidade e de eficiência no transporte por ônibus fretados. Também é reproduzida a legislação trabalhista em vigor (Consolidação das Leis Trabalhistas - CLT e Acordo Coletivo de Trabalho da Categoria), que constitui o arcabouço legal condicionador do processo de otimização da mão de obra (motoristas). Os principais resultados do estudo de caso realizado são os seguintes: as características dos serviços prestados pela empresa afastam a possibilidade de redução da frota utilizada e da quilometragem percorrida; a possibilidade de racionalização se limita a um único canal - um melhor aproveitamento da mão de obra (motoristas), por meio da redução das horas ociosas remuneradas sem trabalho produtivo e das horas extras que são pagas com valores maiores que os das horas de trabalho normais; e os planos de racionalização da mão de obra propostos levam a benefícios econômicos significativos.A study for the rationalization of chartered bus operation serving blue-collar workers and school children is presented in this work. The research started with a comprehensive survey of the services supplied by the company. It was followed by an analysis of the existing operation system in order to identify rationalization strategies that would not worsen the service quality. The development of implementation plans for the selected strategies were the next step of the study along with the evaluation ofthe economic benefits resulting from those plans. A theoretical framework is presented in the first part of the text, in which the problems associated with the rationalization of people and goods transportation is discussed. The concepts of effectiveness and efficacy of chartered bus transport are also treated in the same section. Next, the labor legislation in force (Consolidation of the Labor Laws - C.L.T. and Collective Agreement of the Work of the Category) is reproduced and commented. This law constitutes the legal framework that regulates the workforce optimization, including drivers. Based on the case studied, the main conclusions are: it is difficult to reduce the fleet and the distance traveled by the company due the characteristics of the services supplied - the only way to reduce costs is to make a better use of the workforce (drivers) forcing a reduction of idle and overtime paid hours, which usually have greater values than the normal working hours. Finally, the study shows that the proposed plans for the rationalization of the workforce produce significant economic benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Diverses techniques non intrusives de diagnostics laser sont étudiées et appliquées aux mesures de grandeurs macroscopiques et microscopiques locales, dans les jets supersoniques libres (JSL) axisymétriques. La technique de déviation de faisceau laser, couplée à l'inversion mathématique d'Abel, permet, dans une expérience totalement automatisée et pilotée par ordinateur, de mesurer des densités locales dans des JSL d'argon (Ar) et d'azote (N2), y compris dans l'onde de choc latérale et le disque de Mach. Des comparaisons avec des résultats de calculs résultant de la méthode à trois caractéristiques, montrent un accord satisfaisant. Cette technique s'avère être une bonne méthode de diagnostic de défauts de fabrication de tuyère. Des expériences d'émission Raman spontanée intra-cavité et d'absorption infra-rouge permettent de mesurer des populations rotationnelles locales dans des JSL de monoxyde de carbone (CO) plus ou moins dilué dans de l'hélium (He); des distributions hors équilibre sont mises en évidence pour certaines conditions génératrices. Dans le cadre d'un projet de laser ultra-violet de transfert d'énergie vibration-électronique CO/NO, des expériences de tube à chocs suivi d'une détente supersonique en tuyère, sont effectuées ; un code de calcul numérique couplant les équations de mécanique des fluides non visqueux en écoulement quasi monodimensionel aux équations de cinétiques des échanges vibration-vibration (V-V) et vibration-translation (V-T) est mis au point. Des résultats numériques, pour des écoulements supersoniques de mélanges de CO et Ar, prédisent les distributions vibrationnelles hors équilibre observées expérimentalement par plusieurs auteurs de la littérature scientifique. L'influence de la géométrie de la tuyère et des conditions génératrices sur le degré d'excitation vibrationnelle en fin d'expansion est discutée. L'oxyde nitrique (NO) est injecté en fin de détente dans la tuyère ; les collisions inélastiques entre CO excité vibrationnellement et NO, produisent NO excité électroniquement. Le gain laser et l'intensité laser de la bande de transition électronique β de NO, sont évalués dans la zone de la cavité laser située en aval des injecteurs de NOVarious non-intrusive laser diagnostic techniques are studied and applied to local measurements of microscopic and macroscopic variables in axisymetric Supersonic Free Jets (SFJ). A fully automatic computer driven laser deviation technique, coupled with Abel inversion mathematical technique, leads to local measurements of mass density in SFJ of Argon (Ar) and Nitrogen (N2), including the lateral shock and the Mach disk. Comparison with numerical calculation resulting from the method of three characteristics, yields satisfactory agreement. This experimental non-intrusive method is a good diagnostic technique of nozzle fabrication defects. Intra-cavity laser spontaneous Raman emission experiments and laser infrared absorption experiments are conducted for local rotational population measurements in SFJ of carbon monoxide (CO) diluted in helium (He). They lead to non-equilibrium rotational populations distribution for certain stagnation conditions. As part of a CO/NO vibration to electronic (V-E) energy transfer laser project. Supersonic shock tunnel experiments are conducted; a computer numerical code coupling fluid dynamics inviscid equations for quasi monodimensional flows, to vibration to vibration (V-V) and vibration to translation (V-T) kinetic equations is written. Numerical results for flows of CO and Ar mixtures, predict the non equilibrium V-V pumped vibrational populations distribution of CO, observed experimentally by different authors in the scientific litterature. Nozzle geometry and stagnation conditions influences on the clown stream vibrational populations distribution are deduced and discussed. Nitric Oxide (NO) is injected downstream the nozzle ; inelastic collisions between vibrationally excited CO and NO is expected to yield electronically excited NO. Predicted NO β band laser gain and intensity are evaluated in the optical cavity downstream the NO injectors

Estudos empíricos anteriores mostram que quando as decisões são tomadas num contexto de incerteza e quando existem custos de ajustamento lineares ou fixos (não convexos), as empresas não ajustam continuamente o nível de emprego de forma a acomodar choques da procura do seu produto. Consequentemente, emergem períodos de inércia o que é suficiente para produzir histerese. Nesta dissertação estuda-se a existência de histerese da dinâmica do emprego ao nível da empresa e ao nível agregado. Em primeiro lugar, efectua-se uma descrição do padrão de ajustamento do emprego a nível microeconómico e estuda-se a sua relação com três fontes de inércia: i) a existência de custos de ajustamento não convexos; ii) a existência de incerteza na dinâmica da procura agregada; iii) a possibilidade de utilização da margem intensiva de ajustamento do factor trabalho (ajustamento através do número de horas por trabalhador). Segundo, analisamos as implicações agregadas do comportamento microeconómico observado. Se ao nível microeconómico os modelos de histerese oferecem uma boa explicação para a observação empírica, ao nível macroeconómico tem-se revelado mais difícil identificar a existência de histerese na dinâmica do emprego. De facto, as séries agregadas do emprego tendem a ser mais alisadas, e por essa razão, aparentemente inconsistentes coma existência de histerese. No entanto, se tivermos em conta as diferentes propriedades da histerese fraca (histerese ao nível micro) e da histerese forte (histerese ao nível macro) e se considerarmos a existência de empresas heterogéneas, isto é, se o problema da agregação for explicitamente considerado, como deve ser na presença de custos de ajustamento não convexos, então deverá ser possível verificar a existência de sinais de histerese ao nível macroeconómico. A análise empírica foi efectuada com dados mensais de empresas industriais portuguesas ao longo de um período de 11 anos. A amostra contém informação sobre o nível de emprego e sobre o nível de horas de trabalho e sobre um conjunto de outras variáveis que podem ser utilizadas como proxies de choques. No sentido de obter uma primeira aproximação ao processo de ajustamento do emprego, efectuamos uma análise descritiva sobre a variação líquida do emprego e testamos a existência de histerese ao nível da empresa através da estimação de um modelo de resposta assimétrica do emprego, interpretado á luz do modelo de histerese Non-Ideal Relay. De forma a testar a existência de histerese na dinâmica do emprego a nível agregado, aplicamos testes construídos com base em métodos computacionais baseados no modelo de Preisach e no Linear Play Model de histerese. No sentido de comparar os resultados a nível internacional, aplicamos os testes referidos a dados agregados da OCDE e EUROSTAT de 19 países da OCDE.Concluímos que: i) existem sinais claros da existência de inércia ao nível microeconómico causada pela existência de custos de ajustamento não convexos e pela possibilidade de ajustamento através da variação do número de horas de trabalho por trabalhador; ii) os sinais de histerese que normalmente se encontram ao nível microeconómico não se desvanecessem totalmente ao nível macroeconómico; iii) as propriedades de histerese são particularmente relevantes na dinâmica do emprego das empresas pequenas; iv) encontramos evidência significativa sobre a interacção entre a flexibilidade do ajustamento do factor trabalho através da variação do número de horas de trabalho por trabalhador e a existência de histerese no emprego. Ao contrário, não encontramos evidência significativa sobre a interacção entre a existência de incerteza na dinâmica da procura agregada e a existência de histerese no emprego. Estes resultados mostram que a dinâmica do emprego a nível agregado é condicionada significativamente pela existência de um padrão de ajustamento discreto ao nível microeconómico.
Previous empirical studies have shown that when decisions are made under uncertainty and adjustment costs are fixed or linear in structure (non-convex), firms do not permanently adjust employment in order to accommodate demand shocks. Consequent to this, periods of inertia would emerge and that is sufficient to produce hysteresis. This dissertation studies the existence of hysteresis in the dynamic path of employment at the firm and aggregate level. Firstly, we describe the path of micro-level employment and we establish its relationship with three sources of inertia: i) the existence of non-convex costs of adjustment; ii) uncertainty concerning the dynamics of aggregate product demand; iii) utilization of the intensive margin of adjustment of the labor input (adjustment through hours per employee). Secondly, we analyze the aggregate implications of the observed micro behavior. If at the micro level models of hysteresis offer a good explanation for the empirical evidence, at the macro level it has been more difficult to identify the existence of hysteresis in the dynamics of employment. Aggregate series of employment tend to look smoother and, for that reason, they are apparently inconsistent with the presence of hysteresis. However, if we take into consideration the different properties of weak hysteresis (hysteresis at the micro level) and strong hysteresis (hysteresis at the macro level), and if we take into account firms heterogeneity, i.e. if the problem of aggregation is explicitly considered as it should be in the presence of non-convex costs of adjustment, it would still be possible to uncover signs of hysteresis at the macro-level. The empirical analysis was carried out with a monthly panel of Portuguese manufacturing firms spanning a period of eleven years. This dataset has information on both employment and hours of work as well as on a good set of other variables that may be taken as proxies for shocks. To obtain a first insight into the process of employment adjustment, we provide some descriptive statistics on net employment changes, and to test the existence of hysteresis at the micro level we estimate a model of employment asymmetric response with path dependence interpreted under the Non-Ideal Relay model of hysteresis. To test the existence of hysteresis in the aggregate employment dynamics, we apply tests constructed with the help of computational methods based on the Preisach Model and on the Linear Play Model of Hysteresis. To put our results in an international setting, the aggregate analysis was also made with aggregate data from OECD and EUROSTAT. We conclude that: i) there are strong signs of the existence of sources of employment inertia at micro level, caused by non-convex adjustment costs and by the adjustment of labor input through the number of hours per employee; ii) signs of hysteresis commonly found at the micro level, do not completely vanish at the macro level; iii) hysteresis properties are particularly discernible for small firms even if they are less so in the case of larger units; vi) we find strong evidence of the interrelations between the flexibility of the labor input adjustment through hours of work and the existence of aggregate employment hysteresis, but only weak evidence of the interrelations between the existence of uncertainty in the dynamics of aggregate demand and hysteresis. These findings imply that aggregate employment is significantly shaped by lumpy adjustment at the micro level.

Esta dissertação implementa o controlo de movimento de um dispositivo solar experimental (seguidor solar - Sun tracker) com dois graus de liberdade. O protótipo é motorizado por dois motores de passo controlados automaticamente por um PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Cartas especificas (Function Modules) são utilizadas para comunicar com os motores (FM353), bem como com os encoders (FM350-1). A comunicação entre o dispositivo e o utilizador é realizado em dois níveis: i) Controlo local por intermédio de um painel industrial de operação (Operator panel - Human Machine Interface); ii) Controlo Remoto através de um sistema SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition). Em ambos, o controlo e a supervisão do seguidor solar podem ser implementados remotamente através da rede Internet. Este documento descreve as metodologias desenvolvidas na implementação do protótipo de ensaio. O dispositivo apresentado quando comparado com outros similares, disponíveis no mercado, evidência uma grande vantagem dado que a variável a controlar é exactamente a variável de medição. De facto, o sensor utilizado para medir a radiação solar é uma célula fotovoltaica que fornece a potência eléctrica produzida (Vxl) instantaneamente. A potência eléctrica será a variável a monitorizar no seguidor solar fotovoltaico. O protótipo laboratorial foi desenvolvido em colaboração com o Centro de Engenharia Mecatrónica da Universidade de Évora. Parte do trabalho desenvolvido foi objecto de apresentação e publicação em actas de conferência internacional (IFAC Conference Control Methodologies and Technology for Energy Efficiency - Bruno M.B. Robalo, João M.G. Figueiredo, "Supervisory Control for a Solar Tracking Prototype Based on PV-Technology", 2010)[4]. - ABSTRACT: This paper implements an experimental solar tracking system with two degrees of freedom in laboratory. The tracker is motorized by two step motors controlled automatically by a Siemens 57-300 PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Specific function modules are used to communicate with the step motors (FM353), as well as with encoders (FM350-1). The communication between the Tracker and the users are performed on two levels: i) Local control on an industrial Operator Panel (HMI- Human Machine Interface); ii) Remote control on a SCADA system (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition). The system supervision and control can be performed through internet as the developed SCADA application is web enabled. This paper describes the operational methodology used to implement such a prototype. This prototype when compared with other similar devices available in the market shows a great advantage as the control variable is exactly the measured variable. ln fact the sensor used to measure the solar radiation is a photovoltaic cell that supplies directly the electric power produced (Vxl). The electric power is exactly the control variable to be maximized in a traditional solar photovoltaic tracking system. The laboratorial prototype structure was developed in collaboration with the Mechatronics Engineering Centre from the University of Évora. Part of the developed work was presented and published in the proceedings of an international conference (IFAC- Conference Control Methodologies and Technology for Energy Efficiency - Bruno M.B.

No entanto, se tivermos em conta as diferentes propriedades da histerese fraca (histerese ao nível micro) e da histerese forte (histerese ao nível macro) e se considerarmos a existência de empresas heterogéneas, isto é, se o problema da agregação for explicitamente considerado, como deve ser na presença de custos de ajustamento não convexos, então deverá ser possível verificar a existência de sinais de histerese ao nível macroeconómico. A análise empírica foi efectuada com dados mensais de empresas industriais portuguesas ao longo de um período de 11 anos. A amostra contém informação sobre o nível de emprego e sobre o nível de horas de trabalho e sobre um conjunto de outras variáveis que podem ser utilizadas como proxies de choques. No sentido de obter uma primeira aproximação ao processo de ajustamento do emprego, efectuamos uma análise descritiva sobre a variação líquida do emprego e testamos a existência de histerese ao nível da empresa através da estimação de um modelo de resposta assimétrica do emprego, interpretado á luz do modelo de histerese Non-Ideal Relay. De forma a testar a existência de histerese na dinâmica do emprego a nível agregado, aplicamos testes construídos com base em métodos computacionais baseados no modelo de Preisach e no Linear Play Model de histerese. No sentido de comparar os resultados a nível internacional, aplicamos os testes referidos a dados agregados da OCDE e EUROSTAT de 19 países da OCDE.Concluímos que: i) existem sinais claros da existência de inércia ao nível microeconómico causada pela existência de custos de ajustamento não convexos e pela possibilidade de ajustamento através da variação do número de horas de trabalho por trabalhador; ii) os sinais de histerese que normalmente se encontram ao nível microeconómico não se desvanecessem totalmente ao nível macroeconómico; iii) as propriedades de histerese são particularmente relevantes na dinâmica do emprego das empresas pequenas; iv) encontramos evidência significativa sobre a interacção entre a flexibilidade do ajustamento do factor trabalho através da variação do número de horas de trabalho por trabalhador e a existência de histerese no emprego. Ao contrário, não encontramos evidência significativa sobre a interacção entre a existência de incerteza na dinâmica da procura agregada e a existência de histerese no emprego. Estes resultados mostram que a dinâmica do emprego a nível agregado é condicionada significativamente pela existência de um padrão de ajustamento discreto ao nível microeconómico.
Previous empirical studies have shown that when decisions are made under uncertainty and adjustment costs are fixed or linear in structure (non-convex), firms do not permanently adjust employment in order to accommodate demand shocks. Consequent to this, periods of inertia would emerge and that is sufficient to produce hysteresis. This dissertation studies the existence of hysteresis in the dynamic path of employment at the firm and aggregate level. Firstly, we describe the path of micro-level employment and we establish its relationship with three sources of inertia: i) the existence of non-convex costs of adjustment; ii) uncertainty concerning the dynamics of aggregate product demand; iii) utilization of the intensive margin of adjustment of the labor input (adjustment through hours per employee). Secondly, we analyze the aggregate implications of the observed micro behavior. If at the micro level models of hysteresis offer a good explanation for the empirical evidence, at the macro level it has been more difficult to identify the existence of hysteresis in the dynamics of employment. Aggregate series of employment tend to look smoother and, for that reason, they are apparently inconsistent with the presence of hysteresis. However, if we take into consideration the different properties of weak hysteresis (hysteresis at the micro level) and strong hysteresis (hysteresis at the macro level), and if we take into account firms heterogeneity, i.e. if the problem of aggregation is explicitly considered as it should be in the presence of non-convex costs of adjustment, it would still be possible to uncover signs of hysteresis at the macro-level. The empirical analysis was carried out with a monthly panel of Portuguese manufacturing firms spanning a period of eleven years. This dataset has information on both employment and hours of work as well as on a good set of other variables that may be taken as proxies for shocks. To obtain a first insight into the process of employment adjustment, we provide some descriptive statistics on net employment changes, and to test the existence of hysteresis at the micro level we estimate a model of employment asymmetric response with path dependence interpreted under the Non-Ideal Relay model of hysteresis. To test the existence of hysteresis in the aggregate employment dynamics, we apply tests constructed with the help of computational methods based on the Preisach Model and on the Linear Play Model of Hysteresis. To put our results in an international setting, the aggregate analysis was also made with aggregate data from OECD and EUROSTAT. We conclude that: i) there are strong signs of the existence of sources of employment inertia at micro level, caused by non-convex adjustment costs and by the adjustment of labor input through the number of hours per employee; ii) signs of hysteresis commonly found at the micro level, do not completely vanish at the macro level; iii) hysteresis properties are particularly discernible for small firms even if they are less so in the case of larger units; vi) we find strong evidence of the interrelations between the flexibility of the labor input adjustment through hours of work and the existence of aggregate employment hysteresis, but only weak evidence of the interrelations between the existence of uncertainty in the dynamics of aggregate demand and hysteresis. These findings imply that aggregate employment is significantly shaped by lumpy adjustment at the micro level.

Dispor de um quantitativo de profissionais da enfermagem que atendam a demanda de assistência necessária a cada doente é parte fundamental do cuidado ao paciente crítico. O presente estudo teve como objetivo comparar e analisar a relação entre quantitativo de horas disponíveis e horas requeridas para o cuidado de enfermagem à pacientes internados em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo e exploratório, baseado em dados retrospectivos. Foi realizado em uma instituição hospitalar que dispõe de 193 leitos de internação clínica médica-cirúrgica, dos quais 36 são destinados à terapia intensiva. O quadro funcional de enfermagem na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva é constituído por 22 enfermeiros e 105 técnicos/auxiliares de enfermagem. Para coleta dos dados foram utilizados dois instrumentos, sendo o primeiro para caracterização da clientela, levantamento dos dados da internação e mensuração da gravidade dos pacientes segundo o índice prognóstico APACHE II. O segundo instrumento foi o Nursing Activities Score (NAS) que mensura as necessidades cuidativas de cada paciente. A análise dos dados foi realizada por meio de estatística descritiva. Os resultados apontaram que a taxa de ocupação da unidade no período do estudo foi de 88,8% e a média de permanência dos pacientes, de 8,3 dias. A amostra foi constituída em sua maioria por homens (63,45%), com idade superior a 60 anos (73,2%) e destes, 39% (16) possuíam 75 anos ou mais. As causas das internações na UTI foram decorrentes de complicações clínicas. A média do escore APACHE II foi de 17,8 pontos e a média geral do NAS foi de 87,7 pontos (± 10,3). O quadro efetivo diário foi, em média, de 23,6 profissionais de enfermagem nas 24 horas ou 7,9 profissionais por turno entre enfermeiros e técnicos/auxiliares de enfermagem. Entretanto, a necessidade identificada pela aplicação do instrumento NAS para as 24 horas foi de 14 profissionais por turno ou 42 profissionais nas 24horas. Ao converter este quantitativo em horas de cuidado pode-se afirmar que os pacientes receberam 57,2% da assistência de enfermagem que necessitariam. Os resultados possibilitaram afirmar que os pacientes estudados geraram uma alta carga de trabalho de enfermagem enquanto permaneceram na unidade e a adequação do quantitativo de profissionais se constitui num requisito essencial para uma assistência segura nesta unidade estudada.Have a quantitative of nursing professionals that meet the demand for assistance to each patient is a fundamental part of the critical patient care. This study aimed to compare and analyze the relationship between quantitative available hours and hours required for the nursing care to patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit. This is an exploratory and descriptive cross-sectional study, based on retrospective data. It was held in a hospital that provides 193 medical surgical clinic inpatient beds, which 36 are intended for intensive therapy. The nursing staff in intensive care unit is composed of 22 nurses and 105 technicians/nursing assistants. For data collection were used two instruments, being the first one to clientele characterization, inpatient data survey and measurement of the patients severity according to prognostic index APACHE II. The second instrument was the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) that measures the care needs of each patient. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the unit occupancy rate during the study period was 88.8% and the average of patients stay was 8.3 days. The sample was formed mostly by men (63.45%), with age over 60 years (73.2%) and among these 39% (16) had 75 years or more. The causes of hospitalization in the ICU were due clinical complications. The APACHE II score average was 17.8 points and the overall average of the NAS was 87.7 points (± 10.3). The average of daily headcount was 23.6 nursing professionals in the 24 hours or 7.9 per shift between nurses and nursing assistants/technicians. However, the need identified by the application of the instrument for the 24 hours was 14 professionals per shift or 42 professionals in the 24 hours. Converting this amount in hours of care we can affirm that the patients received 57.2% of nursing care they would need. The results made possible to affirm that the patients have generated a high workload of nursing while they were in the unit and the professionals amount adjustment is an essential requirement to secure assistance in this studied unit.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether there is any connection between working hours, desired working hours and the worker ́s health. The study also aims to investigate if there are any differences over time. Earlier studies have shown that individuals need a balance in their life between worked hours and free time. This balance seems to be important for employees if they want to lead and remain a healthy lifestyle. If the employed doesn’t feel satisfied with his or her working hours then the balance can get disrupted which could lead to a number of health problems. There are a lot of studies that aim to explain the relationship between working hours and health. There is a missing area which examines the relation between desired working hours and the worker`s health. Therefore, this topic is interesting to study more closely. The study is conducted using data from the Swedish survey of living condition panel (ULF). The panels consist of people between 16 to 84 years old. The study started in 1975. Since 1979 the study has been conducted at 8 yearly intervals. The data is administrated by Statistic Sweden (SCB). Three hypotheses have derived from previous research 1; employees who are satisfied with their work hours are least fatigued 2; the relation between working hours and desired working hours has bigger effects on women than men. 3; women who are satisfied with their working hours are less fatigued over time. The results showed that people who are working fulltime or part time with a desire to work less are feeling most fatigued. People who are satisfied with their working hours are least fatigued. The relation between working hours and desired working hours has bigger effects on women then men. Women who are working part time are feeling less fatigued over time.

Full textAbstract:
The work presented in this thesis examines mode conversion characteristics of corrugated horns. The outcome of this investigation is the ability to produce optimum designs for corrugated horns. Analysis of propagation characteristics of corrugated conical horns is extended to the throat region where the complex representation of eigenvalues must be used to obtain an accurate field representation. A modal matching technique to the several is described using spherical modes and applied investigation of the scattering properties of types of discontinuities which may occur in corrugated horns. Computer modelling of a corrugated horn is described using the modal matching technique. The corrugated horn is divided up into a number of conical horn sections, each section propagating spherical modes. The propagating characteristics of each section are computed and modal matching is used to predict the scattering matrix for each junction between sections. The scattering matrices are then cascaded so that the complete horn can be modelled on the computer and an optimised design performed. Radiation properties of corrugated horns are studied by taking the influence of mode conversion in the horn into account. Comprehensive theoretical investigation into return loss performance, mode conversion characteristics and radiation properties of corrugated horns are described and substantiated by the experimental results . A phase cancellation method is presented, which can be used to design a profiled corrugated horn with low return loss and low higher order modes presented at the aperture.

Full textAbstract:
Created in France during the late fifteenth century, the illuminations, text, and family genealogy (added by one of many owners) found in De Villers Book of Hours make it an excellent example among other French books of hours from this period. In addition to acting as a repository of the style and iconography of French fifteenth-century illumination, the book's rich decorative program and varied textual content provide a remarkable document of contemporary devotional piety. This thesis provides the first detailed description and analysis of the De Villers Book of Hours. Following a description of books of hours in general, the overall makeup of the De Villers Hours is addressed, including the decorative program with a suggested method and example for description, a sample of textual transcription, comments on the provenance, a brief discussion of the family genealogy, and a concluding section with a sample collection register and worksheet for cataloging.

Full textAbstract:
Outside school hours programs provide recreation, play and leisure-based programs for children aged 5 to 12 years in before- and after-school settings, and in the vacation periods. Over the past ten years, the number of programs has grown rapidly due to women’s increasing participation in the workforce. At the same time, critical changes for the operation and administration of Queensland outside school hours care services were occurring following the introduction of mandatory standards and quality assurance. This study is a critical ethnography investigating the circumstances for two Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) services located on school sites at this time of change. The services were responding to the introduced legislative and accreditation requirements, the burgeoning numbers of students in the programs, and the requirements by parents for care for their school-aged child. The findings of this study show the complexity of the dualities of purpose and the operational administration of OSHC services, an area that has been little identified and discussed to date. This study illuminated not only aspects of OSHC services, it provided an opportunity for the co-ordinators of the two OSHC services to reflect on the operational structures.
As the majority of OSHC services in Queensland (and other Australian states) are located in school sites, a closer examination of the relationship between OSHC and schools provided insights into some issues concerning the sector. Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action was used to investigate the state of affairs and analyse the consensual and coercion meaning-making that occurred in the interactions between the stakeholders, specifically between the OSHC coordinators and school principals. Critical ethnographic research techniques, including participant observations and semi-structured interviews, were used to investigate what appears below the surface of social existence in the OSHC settings.
On the surface, the interactions between the coordinators and principals appeared congenial. However, the study found that the vulnerability of the OSHC services for alienation and marginalisation was linked to the lack of legitimacy and reduced sense of social membership endowed by the ambience of the school setting in which the services were located. The study found that the distorted communicative action that took place within the OSHC settings exhibited the pathologies of alienation, withdrawal of legitimation and lack of collective identity. Examining the relationships of the key stakeholders within the outside school hours care services offers conceptual understandings of existing institutional relationships and practices, This critical ethnography pinpoints sources of power and unease contributing to the concerns for the outside school hours sector and recommends ways to develop these programs.
