Seker, Merdan. "Success factors of municipal innovation : which factors foster and inhibit the innovativeness of the local administration ?" Electronic Thesis or Diss., Strasbourg, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024STRAB007.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse étudie les facteurs qui influencent l'émergence des innovations dans les municipalités en Bade-Wurtemberg (Allemagne). Grâce à une enquête comportant un ensemble riche de données (585 questionnaires), la recherche applique différents modèles de régression logistique pour analyser la relation entre les caractéristiques et l'émergence d'innovations. L'étude montre que des facteurs tels que la taille de la population, la structure organisationnelle, le financement et les politiques administratives locales ont un impact significatif sur l'émergence d'innovations. En outre, les résultats révèlent une disparité entre les petites et les grandes municipalités en ce qui concerne les facteurs influençant l'émergence de l'innovation. Des recommandations spécifiques sont formulées pour remédier à ces différences. Enfin, la recherche contribue à une meilleure compréhension de la manière dont les municipalités peuvent utiliser l'innovation pour relever les défis contemporainsThis thesis investigates the factors that influence the emergence of innovations in municipalities, focusing on Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Using a survey with a rich data set of 585 completed questionnaires, the research applies different logistic regression models to analyse the relationship between municipal characteristics and the emergence of innovations. The study shows that factors such as population size, organisational structure, the provision of financial resources and local administrative policies have a significant impact on the emergence of municipal innovations. In addition, the findings reveal a disparity between smaller and larger municipalities in terms of the factors influencing the emergence of innovation, and specific recommendations are made to address these differences. Finally, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of how municipalities can use innovation to address contemporary challenges

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates, analyzes and discusses innovation efforts and the use and understanding of the innovation concept and related policies in municipal welfare services. There are two main themes in the study, policy and practice. It is based on interviews with employees and managers in four Swedish municipalities. Also, an analysis of related policy documents on both a national and local level was done. Methods used were document analysis, thematic analysis and critical discourse analysis. The results indicate differences between management levels in the view of innovation and what was achieved. Senior managers stressed the importance of innovation, but experienced obstacles in the form of old structures, ways of working, and employees lack of time for innovation. Employee innovations achieved were accordingly not acknowledged. Middle managers and employees experienced opportunities for employee-driven innovation (EDI). However, barriers such as time and lack of internal communication existed. The study suggests that an excessive control, insufficient empowerment and limited autonomy for employees may be of hindrance for innovation. Local authorities stressed the importance of innovation in strategic documents, but the dynamic resources of the municipalities were not used to support and develop innovation. Innovation procurement was prominent in central governmental policies, but concrete elements were otherwise missing. The documents were also influenced by New Public Management, for example on control and efficiency. Research on welfare services innovation is limited. The study contributes with an understanding of the challenges management meet and knowledge of what barriers and opportunities employees experience for their taking part in innovation. It also raises several fundamental questions about innovation in welfare services, such as if a different approach to innovation in welfare services may be needed as compared to other sectors or if innovation is less important in this context. This study develops welfare sector innovation research, from empirical knowledge to concept development and a better understanding of the conditions for innovation in welfare services. Further research is needed, addressing the question how innovation, if at all, ought to be managed within the context of welfare services.

Policies and programs funded by the European Commission (EC) provide an important development opportunity for less developed European regions. In Southern Italy however, regional and local governments face significant problems in planning and executing EC-funded development programs. Historical and current analyses show that these problems are a result of political, strategic, and technical capacity constraints. This study examines how Southern Italian municipalities are taking advantage of the first EC-funded program initiative specifically targeted for urban areas. The analysis focuses on the municipal capacity to introduce innovation to: 1) expand the scope of municipal tasks to implement economic development projects, and 2) adjust their organizational and bureaucratic practices to comply with the administrative procedures and performance standards required by the EC. The study primarily draws on one case study, a municipality that has successfully managed the program, with additional empirical evidence from three other Southern Italian municipalities. Based on my findings, I argue that the implementation of EC programs can improve municipal efficiency, partially explained by the EC's capacity building processes. What is more central, however, is that developmental outcomes and institutional learning success is a function of a municipality's ability to: a) build the EC-funded program on former municipal development initiatives; b) balance the innovation content within project schemes (e.g. in terms of targeting, integration with other program components, and participatory implementation) with the municipal capacity to implement them; c) comprehensively manage and coordinate the program, limiting sub-contracting of program activities to external consultants; and d) build the necessary political support to actively negotiate with the EC and the Italian national government.

Full textAbstract:
Construction research brings attention to the persistent efficiency and productivity issues in the industry which often are related to a lack of innovation in the sector. To tackle these issues, considerable research has been focused on improved procurement practices, as it is seen that choosing the optimum procurement strategy can promote the development of innovative solutions, thereby resulting in improved efficiency and productivity in the sector. Moreover, research and numerous policy initiatives highlight that public clients play an important role in promoting innovation and improving the overall efficiency and productivity level in the sector through improved procurement practices. Still, this is an area in need of continued improvement since many public clients still frequently rely on traditional and rigid procurement practices which inhibit the potential for innovation to take place. Furthermore, promoting innovation in the procurement of civil works requires interprofessional collaboration between construction project managers and procurers, which can be difficult to achieve since research has shown that interprofessional tensions between these professional groups may occur. Considering the relevance and importance of the subject the research aims to study how technical functions and procurement functions are organized in the procurement of civil works and how project managers and procurers collaborate during the process. The study has also investigated the perceived conditions for promoting innovation in the procurement of civil works by project managers and procurers. The aim was achieved through a case study of four Swedish municipalities where the empirical data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with project managers and procurers in the municipalities. The findings showed that the studied municipalities largely lacked organizational resources conducive for innovation-oriented procurement of civil works. The findings suggested that the support and commitment for innovation within the civil engineering field was modest in the municipalities, however, there existed strong support for innovation in other areas such as within IT. Still, there exists a willingness among project managers to promote innovation and increase the efficiency in the civil works contract and the findings indicated that the project managers and procurers were better equipped for focusing on incremental innovations rather than radical innovations. Furthermore, opportunities for promoting innovations were discussed and identified. For example, setting higher and more project-specific environmental requirements in projects could improve the potential of increased efficiency and development of innovative solutions in the civil works.Byggrelaterad forskning tyder på att branschen präglas av effektivitets- och produktivitetsproblem som många menar beror på en låg innovationsnivå inom sektorn. Mycket forskning har därför riktats mot förbättringar inom upphandling då man anser att valet av en optimal upphandlingsstrategi kan främja innovation, vilket i sin tur kan resultera i ökar effektivitet och produktivitet inom sektorn. Dessutom, tyder mycket forskning på att offentliga beställare utgör en stor roll i att främja innovation och effektivitet inom sektorn, något som stödjs genom flera politiska direktiv. Detta är dock ett område som behöver förbättras då många offentliga beställare fortfarande tillförlitar sig på traditionella och stelbenta upphandlingsmetoder som hämmar innovationspotentialen. För att främja innovation inom upphandling av anläggningsentreprenader krävs det inter-professionellt samarbete mellan byggprojektledare och upphandlare, något som kan vara svåruppnått då forskning har visat att spänningar kan uppstå dessa två yrkesgrupper emellan. I betraktande av ämnets vikt och relevans är arbetets syfte att studera hur byggförvaltningar och upphandlingsfunktioner i kommuner organiseras vid upphandling av anläggningsentreprenader samt hur projektledare och upphandlare samarbetar under processen. Studien har även undersökt de upplevda förutsättningarna av projektledare och upphandlare för att främja innovation vid upphandling av anläggningsentreprenader. En fallstudie av fyra svenska kommuner genomfördes för att uppnå studiens syfte, där empirin framställdes genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med projektledare och upphandlare i kommunerna. Empirin visade att de studerade kommunerna till stor del saknade organisatoriska resurser för att främja innovation vid upphandling av anläggningsentreprenader. Resultaten indikerade att stödet och engagemanget för innovation inom anläggningsområdet var måttligt i kommunerna, men att det fanns ett starkt stöd för innovation inom andra områden exempelvis inom IT. Likväl, finns det fortfarande en vilja bland projektledare att främja innovation och öka effektiviteten i anläggningsentreprenaderna, och resultaten visade att projektledare och upphandlare var bättre rustade för att fokusera på inkrementella innovationer snarare än radikala innovationer. Möjligheter att främja innovation diskuterades och analyserades. Till exempel bedömde man att högre och mer projektspecifika miljökriterier i projekt kunde förbättra potentialen för ökad effektivitet och utveckling av innovativa lösningar i anläggningsentreprenaderna.

This thesis describes a state owned municipal water supply service company, the Haiphong Water Supply Company (HPWSCo), that improved its service delivery and successfully transformed itself into a profit making utility with metered consumers willing to pay for improved service. The thesis examines how HPWSCo tackled the typical problems of a developing country's municipal water supply company and succeeded in the eyes of the consumers, the local and national governments, and the wider development community. The thesis describes how and under what conditions HPWSCo has changed itself from a poorly performing utility to a successful one. It explores the characteristics of the local level service delivery 'ward model' that underpin HPWSCo's success, including: the structure of the ward water supply sub offices; the local procedures for responding to consumer need; and the management of local employees in a way that motivates exemplary performance. The thesis examines how HPWSCo used existing resources and scaled-out improvements ward by ward, learning lessons for subsequent ward enhancements. By focusing on what HPWSCo did the thesis attempts to illustrate the reform strategy of a government agency (state owned enterprise) previously riddled with problems and poor performance that became much more effective and efficient.

Full textAbstract:
Water is used every day in society and to be able to recycle this water we depend upon efficient wastewater treatment. It is vital to test the wastewater based on different parameters. One parameter is the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), which defines the amount of organic substances that can be chemically oxidized within the water. The Swedish standardized analytical method for COD (SS-028142), COD(Cr) is dependent on mercury, a substance which was banned according to Swedish regulations in year 2009 but is still used due to time limited dispensations. This report is a part of a pre-procurement innovative project initiated by the Swedish Water and Wastewater Association (SWWA) in order to bring forward and evaluate mercury free analytical methods for COD for municipal wastewater. The aim was to validate three analytical methods for COD: Chloride Determination, Chloride Elimination and PeCOD and compare the analytical results to the standardized COD(Cr). Three laboratories, Käppala (Stockholm), Gryaab (Gothenburg) and Komlab (Örnsköldsvik) were included in the validation process by providing analytical data. The validation was conducted using the data as input for the statistical methods regression, correlation and analysis of variance to investigate the performance of the individual methods. As a complement to the statistical results, comments regarding the methods brought up by the laboratory staff were compiled in order to reflect on the usability and robustness of the methods. The results indicated that the method Chloride Determination was the method most similar to the COD(Cr) method, when investigating obtained COD concentrations, required analytical time and implementation steps needed to obtain a final COD value. This result was evident by high coefficient of determination values for influent wastewater samples. The PeCOD method, which was submitted in two versions, one manual and one automatic was only able to analyze soluble COD. It was found that the PeCOD methods obtained lower COD concentrations compared to the standardized method when analyzing filtered samples. Due to highly variable correlation coefficients between the PeCOD and COD(Cr) for various types of samples indicated that no uniform linear relation between the methods was present. Analysis with the Chloride Elimination method was halted early in the validation process, but was found to receive approximately 50 percent lower COD values than the reference method COD(Cr). Finally it can be said that the input data for conducting the statistical test were limited and further analysis should be recommended in order to validate the results with a higher certainty.Varje dag produceras avloppsvatten i samhället och för att kunna återanvända detta vatten krävs en tillförlitlig reningsprocess. För att rena avloppsvatten effektivt är det betydelsefullt att kontinuerligt testa avloppsvattnet utifrån ett antal viktiga parametrar. En av dessa är kemisk syreförbrukning, COD, som definieras av den mängd syre som förbrukas genom fullständig kemisk oxidation av organiskt material. Den svenska standardiserade analysmetoden för COD (SS-028142) , COD(Cr) är beroende av kvicksilver för att erhålla ett korrekt analysresultat utan påverkan av kloridjoner. Kvicksilver är enligt Svensk lag förbjudet sedan år 2009, men analysmetoden är dock vanligt använd på svenska avloppsreningsverk tack vare årliga dispenser. Detta examensarbete är en del av en förkommersiell innovationsupphandling som initierats av Svenskt Vatten med mål att undersöka och validera kvicksilverfria analysmetoder för COD tillgängliga på den internationella marknaden. Projektets syfte var att utföra en validering av tre analysmetoder: Klorid Determination, Klorid Elimination och PeCOD och jämföra dess resultat med referens metoden COD(Cr). Tre olika laboratorier, Käppala (Stockholm), Gryaab (Göteborg) och Komlab (Örnsköldsvik) medverkade i projektet. Valideringen genomfördes med de statistiska metoderna regression, korrelation och variansanalys, utifrån insamlade mätdata i syfte att undersöka de givna metodernas prestanda. Som ett komplement till det statistiska testerna sammanställdes synpunkter som framkommit under analysarbetet av laboratoriepersonal, för bedömning av metodernas användarvänlighet och robusthet. Utifrån valideringen var det tydligt att metoden Klorid Determination hade störst likhet med COD(Cr) metoden utifrån givna analysresultat, analystid samt utförda analyssteg. Detta resultat styrktes av höga värden för determinationskoefficients för inkommande avloppsvatten mellan innovatios metoden och referense metoden COD(Cr). Analysmetoden PeCOD bestod av två olika versioner, skildrade den lösliga COD innehållet i provet istället för den total COD koncentrationen som hos COD(Cr). Oavsett vilken version av PeCOD som används erhålls ett lägre COD resultat jämfört med referens metoden COD(Cr) då filtrerade prover analyserades. De framtagna varierande korrelations koefficienter mellan PeCOD och COD(Cr) indikerade att ingen enhetlig korrelation gick att finna mellan metoderna hos de olika laboratorierna. Analysmetoden COD Elimination pausades tidigt i processen men de tidiga testerna visade på halverade COD koncentrationer jämfört med referens metoden. Slutligen kan det nämnas att mätdata som användes som indata till de beskrivna statistiska testerna var begränsade och att vidare analyser rekommenderas för att kunna bevisa givna resultat med ökad sannolikhet.

Full textAbstract:
Les Centres communaux d’Action sociale (CCAS), outils principaux des politiques de solidarité mises en œuvre par les municipalités, dispensent ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler une "aide facultative", en regard de l’aide traditionnelle des Conseils départementaux, chefs de file en ce domaine sur leurs territoires. À Besançon, depuis 1972, le CCAS est reconnu comme très en avance et très innovant. Mais, depuis quelques années, le sentiment d’un amenuisement de son champ d’action et de son influence se fait sentir : c’est dans ce contexte d’incertitude que l’institution a fait vœu de disposer d’un travail d’analyse et d’expertise prenant appui sur la sociologie des politiques sociales. L’organisation interne (les relations entre directions, les liens entre élus et techniciens…) et l’environnement externe (les rapports avec la mairie, le département, et l’ensemble des partenaires) posent la question de la place de l’intervention communale, en termes de prérogatives et de frontières. En partant de l’exemple bisontin, un regard plus général permet de mettre au jour les similitudes et les contrastes de structures comparables. Cette étude, appuyée par un financement CIFRE et reposant sur un paradigme interactionniste, allie à la fois approche technique et point de vue scientifique : elle propose des préconisations pratiques et des perspectives théoriquesThe Municipal Centers of Social Action (MCSA), main tools implemented and used by municipalities in promoting solidary policies, is providing what is well known under the name of a "facultative assistance", regarding the traditional help of Departmental councils, the leader in this domain on their territories. In Besançon, since 1972, the MCSA is recognize as well advanced and innovative. However, in the last couple of years, the MCSA usage has declined and its influence has been increasing. In this context of doubt, the institution has made the wish to provide the framework for the analysis and an expertise expanding on the sociology of social policies. The nature of the working relationships within the internal organization (relationships between the team Management, relationships between the elected officials and the technicians…) and the external environment (Relationships with the City, the Department, and the whole partner’s assembly), raise the question about the status of the municipal intervention, regarding the prerogatives and the boundaries. Referring to Bisontin’s example, a general vision allows enlightening of the similarities and the contrasts of comparable structures. This study, approved by an "ICFR" (Industrial Convention of Formation by the Research), and laying on an interactional paradigm, allies at the same time technical approach and scientific point of view: it suggests practical recommendations and theoretical perspectives

Full textAbstract:
The past decade has witnessed both steep reductions in federal housing assistance and an intensification of local housing problems including homelessness. In light of these trends, this study explores alternative means available to municipalities of meeting the housing needs of low-income households.
The methods chosen to accomplish this were two-fold: a literature review and a case study. The literature review revealed that in response to the Reagan administration's 1981 cutbacks to housing programs a new low-income housing delivery system, based largely on public-private partnerships, has emerged from the grass roots level in communities across the United States. In the new production system efforts have focused on preservation rather than new construction, and large for-profit developers have been replaced by nonprofit community-based development corporations and local public agencies. With the assurance of federal subsidies gone, local governments and nonprofit developers have sought to increase the effectiveness of current resources, direct more general revenue to housing activities and have raised new resources. Today, financing packages for low-income projects are usually built upon customized and creative financial packages that are difficult to replicate, and as a result, no definitive solutions have yet been found.
Despite the hard work and creativity that has gone into developing low-income housing in the U.S. over the past decade local programs have been able to meet only a fraction of the country's housing needs.
The case study method was chosen to focus on the City of Seattle, Washington's specific housing initiatives. The City's response has closely followed the national experience. A new delivery system has emerged which depends largely on the efforts of the City's municipal government, through its Department of Community Development, and the community's growing nonprofit sector. As a
matter of policy Seattle has chosen to spend most of its low-income housing dollars on preserving the downtown's remaining 7,311 low-income units. The City does not. build housing itself, but instead, acts as a "bank" loaning money generated, for the most part, by off-budget strategies to nonprofit housing developers to rehabilitate existing low-income units to meet housing code standards.
Seattle's housing programs have had mixed results. Despite their efforts, due to downtown's expansion, the City has continued to lose low-income units in the downtown to demolition and rent increases, no gain has been made on the City's overall housing need, and while the City has replaced the lost federal subsidies, it has not created significant ongoing revenue streams for future housing development.
Results of this study indicate that, only the long term commitment of federal funds to a national housing strategy can stem the growing tide of homelessness across the U.S. and avert, a deepening of the country's housing crisis.Applied Science, Faculty of

La France est en retard par rapport aux autres pays européens en matière de lecture publique. Ce retard se caractérise par un nombre inadéquat de bibliothèques municipales en France ainsi que par la situation du réseau français de lecture publique.

L'informatique va se révéler une excellente solution pour la modernisation de la gestion des bibliothèques municipales. Apres quelques premières expériences, apparait, en France, au début des années 80, de nouvelles solutions de logiciel pour les systèmes de gestion de bibliothèques municipales. Notre expérience avec le logiciel Tobias et le réseau local d'ordinateur arcnet, nous a amené à réfléchir sur les problèmes résultant de l'introduction de l'ordinateur dans les bibliothèques municipales en France. Notre problématique nous conduit à analyser la mutation technologique et les changements organisationnels engendrés par l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies de communicationFrance is late in comparison with other Europeans countries in public reading matter. This delay is characterized by an inadequate number of public libraries in France, and, also, by the situation of the French network public libraries. Since the end of 60, France is developing a courageous public reading policy. Data processing is going to reveal itself a good solution at the modernization of the public library management. After some first try, in France, at the beginning of 1980, appear new software solutions for the public library management system. Our experience with the software called Tobias and the data point network computer called arcnet, conduct us to think about the problems consequent to the introduction of data processing in the public libraries in France. Our problematic conducts us to analyze the technological mutation and organizational modifications engendered by the utilization of the new communication technologies

Full textAbstract:
The open data concept is based on the EU directive from 2003 with the goal to highlight the need for member states to increase and digitalize their public data and thus achieving transparency and stimulating economic growth based on new innovations. In Sweden, the development has fallen behind expectations and are currently the worst performing nordic country in open data development. In relation, research on open data is limited, especially when it come to barriers and challenges for adopting strategies to handle open data for local public organizations. This research is therefore aimed towards understanding and identifying barriers for adopting open data in local public organizations in Sweden. To answer this, we have conducted a case study based on the municipality of Örnsköldsviks. Our findings suggest that existing research on open data is somewhat lacking in the areas of ethical issues, the private sector and the challenge of moving towards openness; these are important aspects to consider when it comes to open data development. Furthermore, our results indicate that collaboration on both national and regional levels is advantageous and combined with PSI Directive improvements, is something that can bridge the gap between open data barriers and ambitions.

Este trabalho estuda as características da inovação social e suas possíveis analogias com o Evento Natal Luz, realizado anualmente no Município de Gramado, tendo como alusão principal a teoria da estruturação de Anthony Giddens. A sociedade passa por fortes tensões sociais e cada vez mais se constitui um enfraquecimento dos avanços econômicos e sociais dos indivíduos, que não são solucionadas pelas organizações, sejam elas públicas ou privadas. Apesar de toda boa intenção dos governos de proporcionar esta melhoria e bem-estar, existe ainda uma lacuna muito grande, pois as políticas públicas promovidas não conseguem atingir todos os problemas de desigualdades. Neste contexto, surge a inovação social que contempla a cooperação e a inclusão dos agentes envolvidos, com a qual cria atitudes, ações novas e princípios duradouros perante o todo. Atribui a uma sociedade, uma natureza não mercantil, um caráter coletivo e uma intenção que transforma relações sociais. Emerge como ferramenta de mudança alternativa para implantar soluções para problemas sociais através de ações duradouras. Passa a ter importância no contexto social mundial com objetivo de agregar interesses comunitários não factíveis, insere novos sistemas eficientes, busca resolver ou amenizar problemas de gestão e de necessidades básicas dos agentes envolvidos. Apresenta-se como uma manifestação do sujeito, que supõe o desejo de transformação através de políticas voltadas à inclusão de pessoas em uma base territorial. O conceito de inovação social apresenta-se com foco na organização, no indivíduo e na territorialidade. Os dados coletados nas entrevistas sugerem que os elementos econômicos, culturais e sociais favorecem o desenvolvimento do município, segundo a lógica da teoria da estruturação. O Evento Natal Luz apresenta-se, neste estudo, como forma de encontrar soluções de impacto positivo através da autossustentabilidade proporcionando melhoria da qualidade de vida.
This paper studies the social innovation features and their likely analogies towards the Enlightened Christmas Event held annually in Gramado having as its main reference Anthony Gidden’s Theory of Structuration. Society goes through severe social stress and each time more it causes the weakening of the economical and social advancements of the individuals, which are not solved by organizations, whether they are public or private. Despite the government good will to provide the improvement and well being, there is still a very big gap, for the public policies promoted can’t manage to reach all the problems of inequality. In this context, there comes the social innovation which contemplates the cooperation and inclusion of the agents involved, which creates attitude, new actions and lasting principles before the whole. The social innovation attributes to society a non-mercantile nature, a collective character, and an intention which transforms social relations. It emerges as a tool of alternative change to implement solutions through permanent actions. It begins to matter in the world social context aiming to aggregate non-factile community interests, inserts new efficient systems, tries to solve or softens management issues and the basic needs of agents involved. Social innovation presents itself as a manifestation of the individual, who supposedly wishes the transformation through policies with the focus on inclusion of people in a territorial basis. The concept of social innovation features with focus on organization, on the individual and on the territoriality. The data gathered in the interviews suggest that the economical, cultural and social factors, favor the development of the county according to the logic of the Theory of Structuration. The Enlightened Christmas Event is presented in this study, as a way of finding positive impact solutions through the self sustainability providing improvement in the quality of life.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-27This research portrays the empirical observation of the relationship between the local administration of a Brazilian city and the elements that make up the so-called Productive and Innovative Local System (SPIL). The research was conducted in the city of São Carlos, located in the center of São Paulo, which has features geared to the theme Science, Technology and Innovation (ST & I). The research investigated the relationships established between the local secretariat specialized in ST & I and other structures related to the theme (SPIL) could be considered as a reference for local innovation system, with leadership of the municipal administration. The aim was to analyze the progress of relations between science, technology and society, seeking to answer the following research problem: "? There is a municipal system of science, technology and innovation in São Carlos (SP)". The study of the municipal system in Sao Carlos - from the perspective of bottom-up - have the objective a better view and understanding about of the transformations and functioning of the National System of Science, Technology and Innovation. The result indicates the existence of a consolidated municipal system, however, this lacks an institutional governance model capable of providing the necessary support to perennial policies, since these depend the longer time for prove effective.
Esta pesquisa retrata a observação empírica do relacionamento entre a administração local de um município brasileiro e os demais elementos que compõe o chamado Sistema Produtivo e Inovativo Local (SPIL). A pesquisa foi realizada no município de São Carlos, localizado no centro do estado de São Paulo, que tem características voltadas à temática Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (C, T&I). A pesquisa investigou se as relações estabelecidas entre a secretaria local especializada em C, T&I e as demais estruturas relacionadas ao tema (SPIL) poderiam ser consideradas como uma referência de sistema local de inovação, com protagonismo e liderança da administração municipal. O intuito foi de analisar os avanços das relações entre a ciência, tecnologia e sociedade, buscando responder o seguinte problema de pesquisa: existe um sistema municipal de ciência, tecnologia e inovação em São Carlos (SP)? . O estudo do sistema municipal de São Carlos permite - sob a ótica da base para o topo - ter uma visão maior e melhor compreensão das transformações e funcionamento do Sistema Nacional de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação. O resultado obtido aponta para a existência de um sistema municipal consolidado que, no entanto, revela-se carente de um modelo de governança institucional capaz de oferecer o suporte necessário às políticas públicas perenes, uma vez que estas dependem maior tempo de maturação para se mostrarem efetivas.

Full textAbstract:
Um ambiente favorável ao compartilhamento de informações e propício à inovação é capaz de proporcionar o progresso econômico e social. A inovação tecnológica passa, então, a ser assunto relevante, e no ponto de vista regional, o diferencial para a sustentabilidade local. Nesta perpectiva, este estudo objetivou traçar estratégias para o Poder Público Municipal promover a Inovação Tecnológica nas empresas. Os dados foram levantados através de abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. O estudo caracterizou-se como exploratório, descritivo e de levantamento. A partir de um mapeamento do espectro industrial da cidade de Francisco Beltrão, foram aplicados questionários para identificar os índices de inovação às empresas atuantes em áreas de maior relevância econômica, por serem potencialmente inovadoras. Dentre estas, foram entrevistadas as que apresentaram graus de inovação muito altos ou muito baixos, com base no intervalo definido como padrão por meio da estatística, de modo a analisar o conhecimento dessas empresas frente às leis que incentivam a inovação e ao conhecimento sobre as ações impostas pelos stakeholders e pelo poder público municipal. Foram, também, entrevistados os stakeholders atuantes como parceiros na cidade e representantes do Poder Público Municipal, visando verificar a eficácia das ações disponibilizadas por estes e se tais ações chegam ao conhecimento das empresas. Os principais resultados encontrados indicaram um baixo índice geral de inovação das empresas da cidade de Francisco Beltrão. Outro ponto levantado, é o número baixíssimo de empresas que conheciam as leis e incentivos locais do Poder Público Municipal, bem como, que possuíam conhecimento sobre os stakeholders, que atuam como parceiros para incrementar a inovação. O maior índice de conhecimento dessas leis e ações dos stakeholders foram das empresas participantes do núcleo de tecnologia da informação, único núcleo de empresas da cidade visando a inovação tecnológica. Assim, foram propostas ao Poder Público municipal estratégias para promover a Inovação Tecnológica. Dentre as principais destacam-se: ações no ambiente legal com a criação de linhas de crédito, leis e políticas públicas, criação de redes de inovação, novos núcleos de empresas com participação dos stakeholders, promoção de uma cultura inovadora através de seminários, reuniões, debates, e programas de geração de idéias, bem como, o estímulo do intercâmbio entre as universidades, empresas e governo.An environment conducive to sharing information and enabling environment for innovation is able to provide the economic and social progress. Techno logical innovation then became relevant subject, and the regional point of view the difference for local sustainability. In this prospect, this study aimed to devise strategies to the municipal government to promote technological innovation in companies. The data were collected through qualitative and quantitative approach. The study was characterized as exploratory, descriptive survey. The mapping from a spectrum of industrial town of Francisco Beltrão, questionnaires were applied to identify the rates of innovation enterprises operating in areas of greatest economic importance, because they are potentially innovative. Among these, those who were interviewed had levels of innovation too high or too low, based on the range set as the default by statistics, in order to analyze the knowledge of these laws against companies that encourage innovation and knowledge about the actions imposed by stakeholders and the municipal government. Were also interviewed stakeholders working as partners in the city and representatives of municipal government in order to verify the effectiveness of the actions provided by these and come to the attention of companies. The main results indicated an overall low rate of innovation by the town of Francisco Beltrão. Another point raised is the very low number of companies that know the laws and local incentives the local government and ignorance of stakeholders to enhance innovation. The highest knowledge of these actions was the companies participating in the core of information technology, unique in the city core. So, were proposed to the municipal government strategies to promote technological innovation. Among the major include: actions to the legal environment with the creation of credit lines, public policies and laws, creation of innovation networks, new core businesses with input from stakeholders, promoting an innovative culture through seminars, meetings, debates and programs to generate ideas, and encourage exchange among universities, businesses and government.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the effect of a large government programme known as the MiDA programme on small scale pineapple farmers' innovation system and processes in the Nsawam Adoagyire Municipal Assembly of Ghana. The thesis uses Agricultural Innovation System (AIS) as a conceptual basis to examine the MiDA programme. This research is situated within the debate of whether or not large scale agricultural development intervention programmes help in facilitating innovations principally amongst farmers and other stakeholders involved in the innovation system and processes. The study compared responses from farmers that benefited from the MiDA intervention (MiDA FBOs) and farmers that did not (non-MiDA FBOs). The study adopted mixed methods of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative approach made use of a questionnaire survey instrument whilst the qualitative approaches employed FGDs, KIIs, social network analysis, participatory budgeting and document analysis. The study indicates that the MiDA programme facilitated the use of innovations including efficient marketing, tractor usage, business plan development, use of the MD2 variety, diversification of farm activities and recognition of the value chain. However the results show that stakeholders in the innovation system and processes did not work together as one organized unit but independent of other stakeholders. The training component of the programme encouraged interactive learning and exchange of ideas. MiDA and non-MiDA FBOs innovate through trainings received from MoFA and NGOs, accidental discovery/observation, discussion and influence from big commercial farms but MiDA FBOs had more examples to illustrate ways through which they innovate. The linkages between MoF A and MiDA FBOs improved as a result of the implementation of the MiDA programme. MiDA FBOs obtained a higher profit in sucker production than the non-MiDA FBOs. It can be concluded that the MiDA programme facilitated innovations amongst the assisted farmers and this is attributed to the alignment to the AIS approach in areas where successes were observed. This implies that large scale programmes that employs the AIS approach in its design and implementation has a greater potential in facilitating and stimulating innovation.

This research aimed at exploring the aspects that seemed innovative in a Municipal School of Early Childhood Education in the city of São Paulo, considering the fact that it was classified in an official contest in 2016 with a project about backyard. It was discussed which aspects of the school distinguished to present such condition. Our objective in this research, therefore, was to examine the school's differential, investigating specially the children's participation inside the school and what the characteristics of the project were. The central hypothesis, which we confirmed, refers to the fact that there is an initiative to improve the learning conditions by working in a distinctive collective way also in different environments outside the classroom. The methodological procedures of the research were supported by the qualitative approach, which consists of visits to the school, remarks on a fieldwork notebook and observation of the spaces where the children perform. The school's Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) was analysed to verify the position of the activities in the proposals set. We confirmed the importance of PPP and the way its proposals are efficiently accomplished, making possible the debates and engagement of administration, teachers and students. The theoretical references that oriented the research were Vygotsky, Bogdan and Biklen, Ferretti, Wanderley, Rockwell, among others. It was possible to conclude that the collective work goes beyond the institution: the planning is made with reflections, creating opportunities of participation and including children from different ages playing together due to the variety of games offered to them, as well as expanding their worldly wisdom with discussions and shared experiences, learning to respect the opinions and individuality of each other. The pedagogical highlight, indeed, is the backyard, the outside space with different activities, very much used every day and very distinctive from the general space of the schools, but accompanied by other proposals equally distinctive in this school: the Child Council; Playing along the garden, the instructions about lunch and the possibility of children choosing the lunchtime; the condition for teachers to master their own works, may be aspects that distinguish this school to be considered innovative in favour of a full education according to the chosen benchmark
A pesquisa pretendeu explorar os aspectos que pareciam ser inovadores em uma Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil na cidade de São Paulo, considerando o fato de ter sido assim classificada em concurso oficial em 2016, com o projeto sobre o quintal. Problematizou-se quais aspectos da escola se diferenciam para apresentar tal condição. Os objetivos deste trabalho, portanto, foram examinar a participação das crianças dentro da escola e quais as características do projeto do quintal. A hipótese central, comprovada, se refere ao fato de haver uma iniciativa de melhorar as condições de aprendizagem trabalhando de modo diferenciado coletivamente também em diferentes ambientes fora da sala de aula. Os procedimentos metodológicos da pesquisa se apoiaram na abordagem qualitativa, que consistiu em visitas à escola, anotações em caderno de campo e observação dos espaços em que as crianças atuam. Foi analisado o Projeto Político Pedagógico (PPP) da escola para ver como situavam as atividades no conjunto das propostas. Verificou-se a importância do PPP e como as propostas nele contidas são efetivamente realizadas, proporcionando debates e envolvimento da gestão, professores e alunos. Os referenciais teóricos que nortearam a pesquisa foram: Vygotsky, Bogdan e Biklen, Ferretti, Wanderley, Rockwell, dentre outros. Foi possível concluir que o trabalho coletivo perpassa a instituição, o planejamento é feito com reflexões, criando oportunidades de participação inclusive para as crianças de diferentes idades conviverem nas brincadeiras a partir da variedade proporcionada a elas além de ampliarem seu conhecimento de mundo apoiados em discussões e compartilhamento de vivências, aprendendo a respeitar as opiniões e individualidades de cada um. O destaque pedagógico, de fato, foi o quintal, espaço externo com diferentes atividades, utilizado diariamente e muito distintivo em relação ao geral existente nas escolas, mas acompanhado de outras propostas igualmente distintivas dessa escola: o Conselho Mirim; Brincando pelo Jardim, as instruções sobre o almoço e a possibilidade de opção das crianças pela hora de almoçar; a condição de domínio das professoras sobre o próprio trabalho, podendo ser considerados aspectos que distinguem essa escola, considerados inovadores a favor de uma educação integral de acordo com referencial adotado

This research aimed at verifying what were the indexes of school performance presented by the students of the Unified Educational Centres (known in Portuguese as CEUs) during the years 2005, 2007 and 2009, according to Prova Brasil (Brazil Test), by comparing them, in one hand, with the performance indexes of the country and São Paulo´s municipal network, and in other hand, by comparing them with the same indexes among the Unified Educational Centres units by geographic location and the social exclusion indexes of its surroundings. The main question that guided this study was defined this way: do the differenced architectural project and all the resources offered by the Unified Educational Centres reflect on the improvement of the students´ school performance in Portuguese and Math? The methodological procedure adopted consisted on a documental research that included: legislation study about the Unified Educational Centres, statements that guided its implantation, regiment, productions related to the Centres and analysis of scholars linked to the theme. For the analysis of school performance in Portuguese and Math the instrument used was Prova Brasil. Among others are: Viñao Frago, Escolano (2001), Gimeno Sacristan (1999) and Apple (2001) who theoretically fundamented the research. After the analysis of Prova Brasil it was found that the Unified Educational Centres presents an inferior performance compared to the schools of São Paulo´s municipal network and Brazilian schools and the high exclusion index does not negatively influence theperformance of students and the Unified Educational Centre forms an educational innovation
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar quais os índices de rendimento escolar apresentados pelos alunos dos Centros Educacionais Unificados (CEUs) nos anos de 2005, 2007 e 2009, de acordo com a Prova Brasil, comparando-os, de um lado, com os índices de rendimento dos alunos do País e da Rede Municipal de São Paulo e, de outro, comparando esses mesmos índices entre as unidades de CEUs por localização geográfica e índices de exclusão social do seu entorno. A questão central que orientou esse estudo foi definida da seguinte maneira: o projeto arquitetônico diferenciado e todos os suportes oferecidos pelo CEU refletem na melhoria do rendimento escolar dos alunos em Língua Portuguesa e Matemática? Utilizou-se como procedimento metodologico uma pesquisa documental que incluiu: estudo de legislação sobre o CEU, decretos norteadores da implantação, do regimento, produções relacionadas aos Centros e análise de teóricos alinhados ao tema. Para análise do desempenho escolar em Lingua Portugues e Matemática utilizou-se como instrumento a Prova Brasil. Entre outros: Viñao Frago, Escolano (2001), Gimeno Sacristan (1999) e Apple (2001) fundamentaram teóricamente o trabalho. Após análise de dados da Prova Brasil constatou-se que os CEUs apresentam, rendimento inferior às escolas da rede municipal de São Paulo de ensino e as escolas do Brasil e que o índice de exclusão alto não infuencia negativamente no rendimento dos alunos e que o CEU se constitui em uma inovação educacional

Find full textAbstract:
A large part of energy carriers and chemicals of our society come from fossil fuels; due to their critical exploitation and environmental concerns, alternative solutions should be promoted.
The goal of this work is to understand the environmental impacts of different supply chains of levulinic acid production. To enable this comparison, a cradle-to-gate LCA was conducted on different kinds of biomasses, under an innovative thermochemical process called Biofine. The study concerns biomass not only of agri-food origin (corn stover, barley straw, wheat straw), but also deriving from the waste collection supply chain (organic fraction of municipal solid waste).
Results show that biochemicals production from waste-derived biomass represent the lowest environmental impact solution, compared to the supply chain with biomass of agri-food origin. For agri-food biomasses, the impacts deriving from the agricultural phase are orders of magnitude more significant than those of the industrial phase, while the transport phase is the least impacting in absolute terms. For waste-derived biomasses, transport is the most impacting phase of the entire supply chain.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the governance of so-called regional innovation systems. It studies regional and sub-regional dynamics in building institutional environments conducive to innovation. The research employs a qualitative research methodology that comprises semi-structured interviews with 47 policy-makers, practitioners and academics in four case studies of city-regions within the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia: Aachen, Dortmund, Duisburg and Düsseldorf. It identifies factors influencing the systemic-ness of business and innovation support, particularly within the triple helix of university-industry-government relations. It argues that important sub-regional governance dynamics are neglected by many contemporary regional conceptualisations and proposes considering local innovation systems as an alternative. Hence, it scrutinises the appropriateness of the current academic conceptualisations and, in particular, criticises their value in terms of operational guidance. The thesis argues that certain regional innovation policies and governance dynamics fail to constitute a regional innovation system and calls for organisational innovation in the framework structure to revive or maintain inter-institutional dynamics and cooperative relationships towards achieving a coherent, holistic and strategic policy approach. This thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of how to make a regional innovation system work and what important aspects are to be considered for implementing innovation policy – including cluster policy – successfully.

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o papel da tecnologia no processo ensino e aprendizagem, na percepção dos professores das escolas de tempo integral da rede pública municipal de Curitiba. A revisão da literatura discute conceitos do determinismo e da Teoria Crítica e as implicações dessas teorias para a sociedade e estudos na área; discute a escola e a tecnologia, ou seja, a escola como elemento participante da sociedade consumidora e produtora de tecnologias; a formação de professores para o uso das novas tecnologias com os alunos e questões relacionadas às escolas que ofertam ampliação do tempo de permanência/dia nesse ambiente. A metodologia utilizada foi o delineamento misto sequencial exploratório composto de duas fases: uma primeira fase com abordagem qualitativa e uma segunda fase com abordagem quantitativa. A escolha da abordagem qualitativa para iniciar o estudo se deu em virtude de ser uma abordagem oportuna para explorar com mais profundidade situações cotidianas em um novo contexto. A técnica de coleta de dados foi a entrevista individual semiestruturada (conversação gravada e depois transcrita, tendo apenas um roteiro inicial com perguntas abertas) realizada com quinze professores de diferentes escolas localizadas em oito regionais no município de Curitiba. Da análise dos dados emergiram quatro categorias: formação de professores – inicial e continuada; uso da tecnologia em sala de aula; dificuldades encontradas pelos professores no uso da tecnologia e também as implicações da tecnologia nas escolas de tempo integral. Na segunda fase foi utilizado a pesquisa descritiva do tipo levantamento quantitativo. A opção em realizar uma fase quantitativa foi permitir a análise em dimensão maior que na abordagem qualitativa. A amostra foi composta de duzentos e dez professores que ministram aulas em escolas de tempo integral em oito regionais do município de Curitiba. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário constituído por um conjunto de escalas de dois a cinco pontos do tipo Likert para avaliar diferentes aspectos da utilização da tecnologia no contexto das escolas de tempo integral. Os itens para a elaboração do questionário emergiram da análise dos resultados obtidos na primeira fase do estudo. O instrumento foi validado por especialistas da área e testado em estudo-piloto com trinta e cinco professores de trinta e cinco escolas de tempo integral. A partir deste processo, o questionário final constituiu-se de cinco blocos que trataram sobre a formação inicial dos professores, apropriação da tecnologia, confiança dos professores na tecnologia, estrutura das escolas e frequência das atividades baseadas na tecnologia. Os dados quantitativos foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva (distribuição de frequência, média e desvio padrão), análise não-paramétrica (Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney), comparação de escores médios, análise fatorial e análise Multivariada de Variância – (MANOVA - Multiple Analysis of Variance). Os principais resultados mostraram que a formação inicial dos professores sofreu mudanças históricas no tempo e no espaço. Em relação à formação continuada, as evidências mostraram que os temas trabalhados nos cursos oferecidos pela mantenedora não se articulam com o tema tecnologias, ou seja, são abordados separadamente. Os dados também mostraram que há divergência entre os professores no que diz respeito ao uso da tecnologia nas escolas de tempo integral, pois há professores que consideram que os alunos matriculados em tempo integral têm mais acesso às tecnologia, como também, demonstram apresentar melhor oralidade e argumentação em relação aos alunos que ficam em tempo regular. Outros professores consideram que a ampliação da jornada diária não implica maior acesso à tecnologia e melhor desempenho no processo ensino-aprendizagem. As diferentes percepções dos professores sobre o processo ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos das escolas de tempo integral mostraram também que a ampliação de tempo em que as crianças ficam na escola não traz implicações relevantes para a aprendizagem.The objective of the study was to analyze the role of Technology in the teaching and learning process according to the perception of teachers of full-time schools from the public municipal network of Curitiba. The theoretical framework of this study was based on Determinism and in Critical Theory, as well as on the implications of these theories for society; it also discusses the school and the technology, i.e., the school as a participant element of the technology producing and consuming society; the training of teachers for the use of new technologies with students and issues related to schools that offer extension of the time of permanence/day in this environment. The methodology used was the exploratory sequential mixed design consisting of two phases: a first phase with a qualitative approach and a second phase with a quantitative approach. The qualitative approach was chosen to start the study for being a timely approach to explore in more depth situations in a new context. The technique for data collection was a semi-structured individual interview (conversation recorded and then transcribed, featuring only one initial roadmap with open questions) performed with fifteen teachers from different schools located in eight regional boards in the municipality of Curitiba. From the data analysis, four categories emerged: teacher training - initial and continuing; the use of technology in the classroom; the difficulties faced by teachers in using the technology and also the implications of technology in full-time schools. In the second phase, a descriptive research of the quantitative survey type was used. The option to perform a quantitative phase was to allow the analysis in a larger scale than the qualitative approach. The sample was composed of two hundred and ten teachers, who teach classes in full-time schools, from eight regional boards of the municipality of Curitiba. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire consisting of a set of five-point scales of the Likert type to assess the different aspects of the use of technology in the context of full-time schools. The items to prepare the questionnaire emerged from the analysis of the results obtained in the first phase of the study. The instrument was validated by experts in the field and tested in a pilot study with thirty-five teachers from thirty-five different full-time schools. From this process, the final questionnaire consisted of five blocks that dealt with the initial training of teachers, appropriation of technology, teachers' confidence in the technology, school structure and the frequency of activities based on technology. The quantitative data was then submitted to descriptive statistical analysis (distribution of frequency, mean and standard deviation), non-parametric analysis (Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney), comparison of means scores, factor analysis and MANOVA - Multiple Analysis of Variance. The main results showed that the initial training of teachers has undergone historic changes in time and space. In relation to continuing training, the evidence showed that the topics addressed in courses offered by the maintainer do not articulate with the technologies topic, i.e., they are addressed separately. The data also showed that there is disagreement among teachers with respect to the use of technology in full-time schools, since there are teachers who believe that students that are enrolled in full-time programs have more access to technology, as well as display greater speaking and argumentation skills when compared to those under standard- time programs. Other teachers believe that the extension of daily hours does not imply greater access to technology and improved performance in the teaching and learning process. The different perceptions by part of teachers in regards to the teachinglearning process of students from full-time schools have also shown that the extension of time in which children remain in school does not bring relevant implications in learning.

O presente trabalho, solicitado para a conclusão do Curso de Mestrado Profissional (UFBA/FACED), apresenta um estudo sobre as práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas com as TIC no Ensino Fundamental II da Rede Municipal de Educação de Irecê, propondo um Projeto de Intervenção que pretende contribuir com as reflexões/ações com o intuito de propagar o uso das TIC numa perspectiva estruturante de práticas pedagógicas que não se limitem à transmissão ou disponibilização de informações, mas que promovam possibilidades de práticas pedagógicas voltadas para a colaboração, criação e autoria. Para isso, foi necessário realizar uma pesquisa exploratória com abordagem qualitativa de natureza fenomenológica, com a articulação de professores e coordenadores pedagógicos, adotando posturas de implicação e escuta sensível. Os dados foram produzidos através de entrevistas, aplicação de questionário online e análise do Projeto Político Pedagógico de cada escola, e analisados através do método da análise textual discursiva. Essa pesquisa trouxe o conhecimento da realidade e, assim, fomentou processos construtivos e possibilidades de práticas pedagógicas inovadoras. A pesquisa mostrou algumas dificuldades dos professores no que diz respeito à qualidade da conexão, a infraestrutura das escolas, a quantidade insuficiente e precárias condições de uso dos dispositivos tecnológicos. Por outro lado, os resultados obtidos revelaram que alguns professores utilizam com uma maior frequência os dispositivos tecnológicos disponíveis na escola e em alguns casos com um viés inovador. Infere-se com essa informação que os que utilizam essas possibilidades acreditam que as mesmas podem contribuir com suas práticas pedagógicas e ao utilizarem promovem a inovação, juntamente com os estudantes.
The present work, requested for the conclusion of the Professional Master's Course (UFBA / FACED), presents a study on the pedagogical practices developed with ICT in Primary Education II of the Municipal Education Network of Irecê, proposing an Intervention Project that intends to contribute with reflections / actions with the intention of propagating the use of ICT in a structuring perspective of pedagogical practices that are not limited to the transmission or availability of information, but which promote possibilities of pedagogical practices aimed at collaboration, creation and authorship. For this, it was necessary to conduct an exploratory research with a qualitative approach of phenomenological nature with the participation of teachers and pedagogical coordinators. In order to do this, we adopted postures of implication, sensitive listening and textual analysis of the speeches, produced through interviews, application of online questionnaire and analysis of the Political Pedagogical Project of each school. This research brought knowledge of reality and thus fostered constructive processes and possibilities of innovative pedagogical practices. The research showed some difficulties of the teachers regarding the quality of the connection, the infrastructure of the schools, the insufficient quantity and precarious conditions of use of the technological devices. On the other hand, the results showed that some teachers use more often the technological devices available at school and in some cases with an innovative bias. It is inferred from this information that those who use these possibilities believe that they can contribute with their pedagogical practices and when using promote innovation along with the students.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROA dissertação objetivou verificar até que ponto a proposta educacional inovadora, denominada Ginásio Experimental de Novas Tecnologias Educacionais, elaborada no contexto de reforma da Rede pública municipal de educação do Rio de Janeiro, contribuiu para modificar a organização, forma e instituição escolar, atribuindo sentido para os sujeitos que vivenciam a escola. Buscou-se ainda identificar o sentido atribuído à inovação na proposta educacional, e se esta contribuiu, com o auxilio das tecnologias, para que alunos e professores fossem produtores de conhecimentos. O estudo foi norteado pelos conceitos de Rui Canário (2005; 2006), e contou com contribuições de Nóvoa (2007; 2014), Santomé (1998), Sibilia (2012), Lévy (1999), entre outros autores. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e foram realizadas onze entrevistas com participantes da proposta educacional além de observações em campo entre o período de julho e novembro de 2014, e análise de documentos. O estudo concluiu que a proposta educacional seguiu a lógica de reforma ao invés da lógica de inovação, pois os participantes da escola não foram envolvidos na elaboração desta, tampouco houve espaço para a formação endógena destes. As mudanças na organização escolar foram aparentes, não ocorreram mudanças na forma e instituição escolar, atribuindo pouco sentido para os sujeitos que vivenciam a escola. O currículo da Secretaria Municipal de Educação do Rio de Janeiro (SMERJ), com base nos cadernos de apoio pedagógico e avaliações bimestrais predominou, de maneira que o uso das tecnologias representou apenas uma mudança de suporte, portanto alunos e docentes não se tornaram produtores de conhecimentos.
This dissertation sought to verify to what extent the innovative educational proposal called Experimental Gymnasium of New Educational Technologies - elaborated in the context of educational reform of the municipal education network in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – contributed to modify the school organization, form and institution, giving meaning to the subjects that experience the school. It also sought to identify the meaning given to innovation in the educational proposal, and if this contributed, with the aid of technologies, so that students and teachers became producers of knowledge. This study was guided by the concepts of Rui Canário (2005;2006), and the contributions of Nóvoa (2007; 2014), Santomé (1998), Sibilia (2012), Lévy (1999), among other authors. This is a qualitative research; eleven interviews were made with participants of the educational proposal, as well as field observations between July and November of 2014 and documental analysis. This study came to the conclusion that the educational proposal followed the logic of reform instead of the logic of innovation, since the school participants were not involved in its elaboration, neither was there any space for the endogenous formation of the participants. The changes in the school organization were apparent, and there were no changes in the school form and institution, with little meaning being given to the subjects that experience the school. The school curriculum of the Rio de Janeiro s Municipal Secretary of Education (SME-RJ), based on the notebooks of pedagogical support and the bimestrial evaluations, was predominant. The use of new technologies represented only a change of technological base, therefore students and teachers did not become producers of knowledge.

Dhakal, Raju S. "Evaluating residential satisfaction with an innovative dual water supply system in water sensitive urban development." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2013. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/867.
Full textAbstract:
The Australian water industry is facing two major challenges: a rise in water demand due to a growing population and a decrease in rainfall availability due to a drying climate. This situation has triggered a re-evaluation of traditional water schemes and promoted consideration of alternatives for sustainable urban water management. One possibility is to replace drinking water usage in garden and outdoor irrigation with non-potable groundwater. This could save almost half of the water supplied in the residential sector, which is the biggest consumer of scheme water in most Australian cities. A major hurdle for the success of such fit-for-purpose groundwater schemes can be the lack of the resident’s participation and support. Currently there are uncertainties about the dynamic nature of individual’s attitudes in terms of satisfaction and accepting behaviours towards the fit-for-purpose water use. This can cause ambiguity in planning and implementation of such projects.
The main purpose of this thesis is to address the following specific research questions: What are the factors that determine residential satisfaction with and behaviours towards the fit-for-purpose groundwater system? and What are the implications of such water system for community, water utilities and urban planners?
These questions have been addressed through a quasi-experimental study utilizing two northern suburbs in Perth metropolitan: Ridgewood and “The Green”. “The Green” is selected as an experimental suburb and Ridgewood is selected as a control suburb, which is a standard metropolitan suburb having the usual main drinking water system. The use of non-drinking groundwater through the dual water supply system in “The Green” began in 2008 alongside the main water scheme. A broad spectrum of parallel literature from many disciplines was drawn upon to inform the research. Concurrent preliminary informal conversations with local residents and a number of field observations were helpful in refining and contextualising the research hypotheses regarding the determinants of residential satisfaction with the fit-for-purpose groundwater supply system in the context of water sensitive urban development.
An exploratory mixed method approach was adopted starting with qualitative preliminary interviews with local residents to inform the development of a survey instrument. This was followed by the administration of the survey questionnaires at household level to collect quantitative data to measure the relationship among variables and test a model of residential satisfaction. The survey data and the secondary data about residential water consumption were analysed to develop a workable model for residential satisfaction with and behaviour towards the dual water supply system and water sensitive urban environment. Finally, qualitative information during stakeholder interviews, meetings, and seminars was used to interpret the planning implications of the model and behavioural responses towards the water system and urban development.
The research results indicated that the majority of residents (70%) are satisfied with the nondrinking groundwater supply system in their home and neighbourhood. In “The Green”, the household drinking water consumption was reduced by 40% compared to the metropolitan average; however, excessive garden watering exemptions for new garden establishment caused 30% more water usage in “The Green” than the metropolitan average. This study found that the major components of residential environment satisfaction were the neighbourhood, neighbours, and home. Home satisfaction in “The Green” was determined mainly by home attributes and the garden satisfaction, which in turn was dependent upon garden attributes and satisfaction with the groundwater system. In this way, groundwater satisfaction had an indirect impact on home satisfaction mediated by garden satisfaction. The major determinants of groundwater satisfaction were: positive perceptions of operational issues, and risk of groundwater use (negative relationship), and preference for continuation of the groundwater system after its trial period.
The major research findings are explained in Chapter Six, Seven, and Eight. The dynamic nature of community attitudes and community behaviours towards the fit-for-purpose water projects at urban settings were explored, and the planning and development consequences of the implementation of the alternative water systems were explained. The results of this study are highly applicable for water providers, urban planners, and community developers in promoting the successful implementation as well as improvement of fit-for-purpose water systems from a policy perspective. This thesis equally contributes to building knowledge and understanding of residential satisfaction and its relationship to innovative dual water systems in water sensitive urban environments. It facilitates the sustainable management and planning of urban water resources. The research also demonstrates the need to integrate general models of community satisfaction with specific water system attitudes to provide an indication of the role of water supply systems in the overall success of water sensitive developments.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There is a rising groundswell of citizens globally questioning the equity, integrity and sustainability of the philosophies, values and institutions inherited from the 20th century. The continuum of civil disobedience has increased over time; sit ins, community unrest, uprisings and finally revolutions have marked this first decade of this new age. People are voicing their disillusionment with increased frequently, impatience and violence globally calling for the creation of a world which, in Freire’s words, is “menos feio, menos malvado, menos desumano [less ugly, less cruel, less inhumane] (Mayo, 2003:42). President Jacob Zuma at the 14th Nedlac Annual Summit in September 2009 called for a “stronger social dialogue underpinned by a sense of cooperation, and responsibility will also be important if we are to avoid a situation where the recovery ends up being business as usual. We need to find new way of doing things” (Zuma, 2009a:1). Social Franchising is a relatively new concept in the service delivery discourse having recently emerged as a sub-sector of social enterprise. Social franchising is a derivative of the long established commercial franchise model with a dual purpose of generating sustainable economic returns and advancing social good by encouraging profit making not profit taking (Mseme, 2010a:1). Social franchising has been mainly operating in the NGO sector, on the Indian sub continent, accommodated in larger private or public health institution, providing women related health services into poor communities. Recent research undertaken by Mseme (2010a) has shown social franchising should be considered as a strategic option in the delivery of public service to improve citizens development, promoting new venture creation and strengthen the developmental state at local level This study seeks to make a contribution to the limited local government body of knowledge by developing an appropriate social franchising governance model. This model aims to accelerate accessible and sustainable public community development services generally and early childhood development in particular at local level by delivering on the two primary national priorities of poverty alleviation and quality education provisioning. This study merges a number of key issues that are substantive in determining the future well being of South Africa and all of her citizens namely; affordable, universal and comprehensive service delivery, equitable quality education and cognitive development of young children and increased economic participation and wealth generation especially in marginalised and vulnerable communities within the context of the developmental state. This study is guided by a postmodernist philosophy and stems from a transformative and emancipatory approach applying Paulo Freire’s pedagogy and politics of hope that is not meant to consolidate “what is” but is driven by a vision of “what should and can be” (Mayo, 2003:42).This research has applied both empirical and non – empirical design with a mixed qualitative and quantitative component. The areas of non –empirical study were determined by the theoretical framework which focuses on developmental state, developmental local government, public service management, partnership service delivery mechanisms, early childhood development and small enterprise development. The research findings arising out of the empirical ECD needs assessment survey and case study were further explored and tested in semi structured interviews with political decision makers, policy makers, policy drafters and policy experts. This study has designed a social franchise governance model for the delivery of ECD at local government level. Its implementation however is premised on a shift of public administration mindset from bureaucracy to innovation, a shift of public policy from government as sole provide to facilitator of services, a shift from survival partnerships to delivery partnerships by desire and a change of citizens attitude from dependency to self development.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Wereldwyd bevraagteken inwoners toenemend die billikheid, integriteit and volhoubaarheid van filosofiee, waardes en wette vanuit die 20ste eeu. Wetteloosheid het toegeneem oor ‘n tydperk. Opstand en eintlik revolusies is kenmerkend in die eerste dekade van die nuwe era. Mense spreek hulle ontnugtering toenemend op ‘n gereelde basis uit, wat uiteindelik aanleiding gee tot ongeduld en geweld. Wereldwyd is mense op soek na ‘n samelewing wat soos Freire dit beskryf “menos feio, menos malvado, menos desumano (minder haatlik en onmenslik) (Mayo, 2003:42). Tydens die 14de NEDLAC Jaarlikse Konferensie gedurende September 2009 het President Jacob Zuma die balangrikheid van sterker sosiale dialoog gegrond op samewerking en verantwoordlikheid beklemtoon ten einde ‘n situasie van besigheid soos gewoonlik te voorkom. Hy het mense aangemoedig om vorendag te kom met nuwe manier om dinge te doen.(Zuma, 2009a:1) Sosiale agentskap is ‘n relatiewe nuwe konsep in die lewering van dienste wat ontstaan het vanuit die sub-sektor sosiale ondernemings. Sosiale agentskap het voortgespruit vanuit die kommersiele agentskaps model met ‘n tweeledige doel naamlik die skepping van volhoubare ekonomiese inkomste en die bevordering van sosiale goedere deur die aanmoediging van die maak van winste en nie die neem van winste nie (Mseme, 2010a:1) . Sosiale agentskappe het primer voorgekom in nie-regerings organisasies, groot privaat of publieke gesondheids instansies en die verskaffing van gesondheids dienste aan vroue in die armer gemeenskappe. Huidige navorsing deur Mseme (2010a) bewys dat sosiale agentskappe oorweeg moet word as ‘n strategiese opsie in die lewering van openbare dienste om die onwikkeling van inwoners te verbeter, om die skepping van nuwe projekte te bevorder sowel as die versterking van die ontwikkelende staat op plaaslike regeringsvlak. Deur die ontwikkeling van ‘n toepaslike sosiale agentskaps bestuurs model beoog die studie om ‘n bydrae te maak tot die beperkte beskikbare inligting oor plaaslike regering. Die model streef daarna om toeganklike volhoubare openbare gemeenskaps onwikkelende dienste in die algemeen te lewer sowel as spesifiek dienste rondom vroee kinder ontwikkeling op plaaslike regerings vlak. Hierdie oogmerk van die model is gebaseer op die nasionale prioriteite van werkskepping en die voorsiening van kwaliteit onderrig. Die studie kombineer ‘n aantal belangrike sleutel dimensies in die bepaling van die voortbestaan van inwoners van Suid-Afrika, naamlik bekostigbaarheid, universele en omvattende dienslewering, gelyke kwaliteit onderrig, die kognitiewe ontwikkeling van jong kinders, toenemende ekonomies deelname, en die ontwikkeling van rykom spesifiek in marginale kwesbare gemeenskappe binne die konteks van ‘n ontwikkelende staat. Die studie is gebaseer op ‘n post-moderne filisofie and spruit voort vanuit ‘n transformerende en moderne benadering deur die toepassing van Paulo Freire’s opvoedkundige aard sowel as politieke hoop wat nie bedoel is om “die wat is” te konsolideer nie, maar wat voort gedryf word vanuit ‘n visie “wat moet en kan gedoen word” (Mayo, 2003:42). Die nie-empiriese studie is gabaseer op ‘n teoretiese raamwerk wat focus op die ontwikkelende staat, ontwikkelende plaaslike regareings, staatsdiens bestuur, ‘n vennootskap dienslewrings meganisme, vroee kinder ontwikkeling and klein sake ondernemings ontwikkeling. Beide empiriese en nie-empiriese ontwerpe is gebruik met ‘n kombinasie van kwalitatiewe and kwantitatiewe komponent. Die bevindinge vanuit die navorsing spruit voort uit die empiriese vroee kinder ontwikkelings behoefte bepalings studie. ‘n Gevalle studie is ook verder gebruik en getoets deur semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude met beleidmakers, en beleids deskundiges. Die studie het ‘n sosiale agentskaps bestuurs model ontwikkel vir die lewering van vroee kinder ontwikkeling op plaaslige regerings vlak. Die implementering van die model is gabaseer op ‘n aantal veranderinge van denkwyses naamlike vanaf publieke administrasie opinie van burokrasie na innovasie, vanaf openbare beleid dat die regering die enigste verskaffer van dienste is na die fasilitering van dienste, vanaf oorlewings vennootskappe na vennootskappe wat gehalte dienste lewer en laaste ‘n verandering van ‘n aghanklikheids houding na self ontwikkeling.

The assumption of this study is that by repetition, discursive traditions establish a link between innovation and conservatism. The study addresses the linguistic and textual features that have changed and that remained in the minutes of the Paraiba borough council meetings that were handwritten, typed and virtualized in the nineteenth, XX and XXI, when the manuscripts were transcribed to the World Wide Web. The study tries to associate the social context of elaboration and utilization of the minutes to the historical context of language, keeping in mind that the texts change with changes in society. It is therefore a diachronic, descriptive and theoretical approach that uses the assumptions of Coseriu (1979, 1987, 1988) and of the German Romanist pragmatists German Romanists Oesterreicher (1996, 2006), Schlieben-Lange (1993), Koch (2008), Kabatek (2006) and Jungbluth (2006) and also looks at Brazilian discursive traditions developed by Simões Kewitz (2009a, 2009b). The corpus of this research is composed of sixty-seven minutes from various boroughs of the state of Paraíba: Zona da Mata, Agreste, Borborema and the Sertão. The originals are kept in private and public historical archives in the boroughs of Paraíba. From these city council minutes, the ones that appear more frequently were selected in the corpus, the structures that constitute them analyzed, with particular emphasis on the XIX, XX and XXI centuries. Based on the assumption that the discursive traditions evoke certain textual and linguistic forms, we used the same proceedings for the analysis of the passive voice as a grammatical element that is repeated in the structure of these minutes. The analysis of the minutes, compared between the centuries cited, showed that their linguistic and textual features changed when transcribed from the record book manuscripts to virtual support. Some information from texts changed their position in the structure of the minutes, other sections have been inserted in the texts and some traditional expressions no longer exist. The analysis also verified some linguistic traits where instances of passive constructions were reduced in the minutes of this century, but it was found that this type of grammatical construction is part of the traditional discursive camera minutes. Given the results, we concluded that, despite the transformations undergone over time, the minutes of the Paraíba camera meetings maintained the structure which identifies it as a discursive tradition.
A partir do pressuposto de que, pela repetição, as tradições discursivas estabelecem um elo entre inovações e conservadorismos, este trabalho, aborda as características linguísticas e textuais que mudaram e que permaneceram nas atas das câmaras municipais paraibanas manuscritas, datilografadas e virtualizadas nos séculos XIX, XX e XXI, quando transcritas do suporte manuscrito para a Rede Mundial de Computadores. Procura-se, nesse estudo, associar o contexto social de produção e utilização das atas à história da língua, por ter-se em vista que os textos mudam conforme as mudanças na sociedade. Dessa forma, trata-se de uma pesquisa diacrônico-descritiva que utiliza como aporte teórico os pressupostos de Coseriu (1979, 1987, 1988) e dos romanistas da Pragmática Alemã Oesterreicher (1996, 2006), Schlieben-Lange (1993), Koch (2008), Kabatek (2006) e Jungbluth (2006), como também, utiliza os estudos sobre as tradições discursivas no Brasil desenvolvidos por Simões e Kewitz (2009a, 2009b). O corpus dessa pesquisa é composto por sessenta e sete atas das câmaras municipais paraibanas das regiões da Zona da Mata, Agreste, Borborema e Sertão, cujos originais estão conservados em arquivos históricos públicos e privados e nas câmaras municipais da Paraíba. Dentre essas atas camarárias, selecionou-se, para análise, alguns tipos de atas de sessão que aparecem com maior frequência no corpus, destacando, entre os séculos XIX, XX e XXI, as estruturas que as constituem. Com base no pressuposto de que as tradições discursivas evocam determinadas formas linguísticas e textuais, utilizou-se essas mesmas atas selecionadas para a análise da voz passiva como elemento gramatical que se repete na estrutura dessas atas. A análise das atas, em comparação entre os séculos citados, revelou que as suas características linguísticas e textuais sofreram alterações quando transcritas do livro de registro manuscrito para o suporte virtual. Algumas informações do texto mudaram de posição na estrutura da ata, foram inseridas outras seções no texto e algumas expressões tradicionais deixaram de existir. Verificou-se também, na análise dos traços linguísticos, que as ocorrências de construções na voz passiva sofreram uma redução nas atas do século atual, porém constatou-se que esse tipo de construção gramatical faz parte da tradição discursiva ata de câmara. Diante dos resultados apresentados, concluiu-se que, apesar das transformações sofridas ao longo do tempo, a ata das sessões das câmaras paraibanas manteve a estrutura que a identifica como uma tradição discursiva.

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo deste estudo foi elaborar um Protocolo de Avaliação de Fatores de Risco Extralaborais para dor osteomuscular por meio de uma pesquisa do tipo prospectiva, exploratória, realizada com os funcionários efetivos da Câmara Municipal de Curitiba. Metodologia: O estudo foi realizado em duas fases. Na primeira fase, foi elaborado e aplicado o Questionário de Atividades Laborais e Extralaborais que permitiu elencar os fatores laborais de maior risco para desenvolvimento de dor osteomuscular nesta população, além de investigar a presença dos fatores de risco extralaborais mais prevalentes na literatura. Na sequência, foi realizada a correlação entre as respostas do questionário com os dados referentes a dor osteomuscular relatada pelos funcionários no Censo de Ergonomia e elaborado o Diagrama de Causa e Efeito. As análises estatísticas foram efetuadas com o pacote estatístico GRAPHPAD PRISM e foi considerado um nível de significância de 5% (α = 0,05). Na segunda fase da pesquisa, foi desenvolvido o Protocolo de Avaliação de Riscos Extralaborais de LIKS, concebido a partir da estrutura do Questionário de Atividades Laborais e Extralaborais, priorizando os fatores de risco extralaborais, em formato de respostas objetivas, contendo uma escala quantitativa de risco para o desenvolvimento ou agravamento de dor osteomuscular. Resultados: Obteve-se, como causa potencial para a dor osteomuscular a idade acima de 40 anos (p=0,001) e posto de trabalho (p=0,008). Neste estudo, a atividade física e 6 horas de sono ou mais foram consideradas como fator de proteção e a insônia, o uso inadequado de computadores, tablets e celulares em casa e estresse pessoal foram considerados fatores de risco relativo. A avaliação dos quesitos gênero, ocupação, segunda ocupação, posição para dormir, formas de ir e vir ao trabalho e uso de vídeo games não mostrou significância estatística. Conclusões: Os fatores de risco extralaborais provavelmente interagem com o desenvolvimento de dores osteomusculares. Conhecer e obter mais informações do funcionário durante seu exame periódico é importante no processo saúde-doença. Priorizar as causas e fatores envolvidos nas queixas de dor osteomuscular são de suma importância para a prevenção, diagnóstico precoce e encaminhamentos adequados para o tratamento e promoção da saúde.The aim of this study was to develop an Extra Work Risk Factor Assessment Protocol for musculoskeletal pain through a prospective and exploratory survey conducted with the permanent employees of the Town Hall of Curitiba. Methodology: The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, it was developed and implemented the Work and Extra Work Activities Questionnaire which permitted the determination of the labor factors of increased risk of developing musculoskeletal pain in this population, and to investigate the presence of the most prevalent extra work risk factors in the literature. Further, we made the correlation between the questionnaire answers with the data on musculoskeletal pain reported by employees in Ergonomics Census and the Cause and Effect Diagram was held. Statistical analyzes were performed with the statistical package GRAPHPAD PRISM and was considered a significance level of 5% (α = 0.05). In the second phase of the research, we developed the LIKS Extra Work Risk Assessment Protocol, designed from the structure of the Questionnaire of Work and Extra Work activities, prioritizing extra work risk factors, in the shape of objective responses, containing a quantitative scale of risk for the development or aggravation of the musculoskeletal pain. Results: It was obtained as a potential cause for musculoskeletal pain the age of 40 years (p = 0.001) and workstation (p = 0.008). In this study, physical activity and 6 hours of sleep or more were considered as a protective factor and insomnia, the inappropriate use of computers, tablets and mobile home and personal stress were considered relative risk factors. The evaluation of gender questions, occupation, second occupation, sleeping position, ways to go and come to work and video game use was not statistically significant. Conclusions: Extra work risk factors probably interact with the development of musculoskeletal pain. It is important to know and get more employee information during regular review is important in the health-disease process. Prioritize the causes and factors involved in musculoskeletal pain complaints are of paramount importance for the prevention, early diagnosis and referrals to appropriate treatment and health promotion.

"Biogas from anaerobic digestion of biomass (Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste and sewage sludge): trace compounds characterization through an innovative technique (PTR-MS) and detrimental effects on SOFC energy generators, from single cells to short stacks."

Full textAbstract:
The use of biofuels instead of conventional fossil derived fuels is becoming an increasingly crucial topic for future energy systems where environmental issues are also taken into account. Biomass exploitation, including biowaste, appears as a promising means for the energy production and also it contributes to the carbon dioxide emissions reduction. Among the different techniques for biomass exploitation, interesting aspects are covered by the dry anaerobic fermentation of organic waste (OFMSW). In addition also interesting aspects can be achieved by the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge in waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Organic waste collection from local municipal areas or from sewage sludge exploitation with subsequent energy valorization through CHP systems allows to reduce the amount of waste disposed into landfills and the pollutant emissions into the atmosphere. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems are among the most promising energy generator respect to traditional power generating systems due to their higher electrical conversion values, even at partial loads. This is due to the direct conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy. Hence, fuel cells are very appealing from both energy and environmental point of view.
In this work, the main goal was to demonstrate the real feasibility of a SOFC stack system fed by real biogas. This main goal has to be achieved considering three main sub-goals. The first one related to the biogas aspects, mainly on trace compounds investigation followed by the VOCs cleaning for SOFC requirements and then testing the main and the most dangerous VOCs on single cells and on short stacks. These information have been fundamentals for the SOFC generator directly fed by biogas.

The government land development corporation model works at ‘arm’s length’ from the public sector to manage development of public land assets. With the potential to create uplift in value and shape the built environment to achieve City objectives, many municipalities have established this model, yet there is a lack of study on their impact to the municipal planning and development process. This research presents a case study, including key informant interviews, of the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation’s (CMLC) management of the redevelopment of the East Village to identify lessons that may be application in other development projects. A list of themes for success and weakness informs discussion on how a government land development model can impact municipal planning policy, development process and standards. Half way into the project timeline, CMLC has achieved many of its objectives through a coordinated approach grounded in a strong vision set in a Master Plan. Active marketing and infrastructure upgrades that focused on connections established a renewed sense of place to a blighted neighborhood. CMLC benefits from being able to act in a nimble manner outside of the often-extended municipal decision-making structure. A broad mandate, control over budget decision, land ownership and authority to manage phasing provides efficiency in operations and confidence to investors, however public accountability remains a concern. CMLC introduces new avenues of collaboration and brings multiple disciplines together for risk sharing facilitating innovation in planning policy, practice and standards, that otherwise may have been lost in negotiation. Positioned at the interface between public and private, CMLC has found success in balancing interests and tensions through combining the strengths of each sector.February 2017

With the perspective of organization, this study focuses on the influences among organization trust, knowledge sharing and service innovation. In addition, this research uses knowledge sharing as the meta-variable to further analyze whether organization trust varies along with the behavior of knowledge sharing and service innovation. This research takes full-time employees in the County and Municipal Government Assistant Center as the audience and issues 248 questionnaire in total. The questionnaires with partial or incomplete responses are treated as non-effective and abandoned. The number of effective questionnaire is 164,and the effective questionnaire recovery rate is 66.1%. By using the Pearson Correlation and the Multiple Regression Analysis, the results show that organization trust has a notable positive influence to the knowledge sharing. The knowledge sharing generates notable positive influence to the service innovation. The behavior of knowledge sharing creates a mediation effect between organization trust and service innovation. The research finds that the County and Municipal Government Assistant Center can use organization trust and knowledge sharing to provide innovating services. Therefore it is important to have organization trust and knowledge sharing become a habit of an organization, and to form the culture of trust and sharing in the organization. This research suggests that an organization can find its innovating value by Ccreating the atmosphere of organizational trust and can simplify its service procedure and provide intergrated services by forming the culture of sharing.

This research aims at investigating information technology infused instructional innovation behavior and the influencing factors for Taipei Municipal vocational high school teachers. Questionnaires were used to collect data from the teachers in various vocational high schools in the city of Taipei. The survey was given to 599 individual teachers. We received 493 returned questionnaires while 16 of those had incomplete data. This resulted in a total of 477 valid responses for an overall response rate of 85.33%. Statistical methods used to analyze the data include frequency distribution, mean, percentage, standard deviation, t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), stepwise multiple regression. According to the above analysis, the findings of this study were as follows: 1) More than half of the teachers applied information technology into instructional innovation. But teaching time that the usage frequence is less than 20%. Also they did so only occasionally and were in the adoption level. 2) The behaviors were affected by factors such as gender, age, seniority, position, teaching subjects, teaching subjects whether for computer relative subject, individual''s education degree, the level of training in information technology received in the past three years, the average hours spent in operation of computers and weekly online time. In comparison, the following factors were found to have no impact on teachers'' behaviors: characteristics of schools the they teach, characteristic of this school where the teachers earned education units, and the average hours spent in teaching every week. 3) Knowledge skills, attitude, school environment, and external environment were found to have significant impacts on the teachers'' behavior in infusing information technology into innovation instruction frequence. 4) The following factors can be used to predict their behavior: individual background, knowledge skills, school environment and external environment. In particular, knowledge skills in infusing information technology into teaching and teaching subjects that are computer related are the two most significant factors to predict their behavior. Based on the findings of this study, we made some recommendations for the teachers and school administrators, respectively, in vocational high schools as well as for official administrators in the related government departments. We also made suggestions for future study in the similar areas.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this report is to understand how and why the diffusion of colored solar panels take place. A motive for the study is the fact that Sweden needs to reach the goal of a fossil free country by 2045, with one of the sub-goals of solar power contributing to 10 percent of the renewable energy production. Currently, Sweden's electricity production is only at 0.1 percent solar power. I have found that the innovation of colored solar panels could be a factor to contribute to the diffusion and increase in solar power. To analyze this hypothesis, two different methods were used. First, a literature study was conducted where the focus was on the history and diffusion of solar panels, in correlation to the fundamentals of colored solar panels. I also compared the two technologies regarding their efficiency and price, as well as how they differentiate in the market. Second, an interview study was conducted with 17 solar experts working in different cities across Sweden. The experts had different insights to bring from their different positions in the solar power industry. The results showed that standard and colored solar panels are highly interrelated, causing the colored solar panels to always be slightly less efficient than the standard module. The results also suggest that there is a high potential for colored solar panels in the future, and that there is a high need for marketing and reliable companies in order for the diffusion to happen. A major affecting factor for the diffusion of colored solar panels is architects, who have a large input in the design process of municipal buildings. Further research is needed in the development in the standard and colored module, as well as in the stability of colored solar panel companies.

This research project explored the relationship between municipal governments and community economic development (CED). It identified the unique role that municipal governments play in promoting CED, gives policy recommendations for advancing the transformative and innovative elements of CED within local governments, and identified models of innovative practice in municipal policy related to CED. The project focused on medium-sized municipalities in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northern Ontario. The thesis profiles important roles that municipalities play in supporting CED and uses examples from the research to illustrate these roles. Lastly, Haughton’s (1998) multifaceted definition of CED (p. 876) was used to place each municipality on a spectrum from ‘localist transformative’ CED to ‘gap filling’ CED and examples were given from the research to show which municipalities had the strongest and most innovative support of CED and those that were less successful.

A pretensão deste estudo é investigar o que está sendo feito na escola, conhecer as tecnologias educacionais desenvolvidas para o projeto e quais benefícios e desafios constatados durante o desenvolvimento do GENTE. O Subsecretário das Novas Tecnologias Educacionais da Secretaria Municipal de Educação do Rio de Janeiro, que permaneceu neste cargo até janeiro de 2014, Rafael Parente, para descrever este momento da educação no município, falou aos professores e todos os envolvidos no projeto no final do treinamento, o Transcurso, antes do início das aulas: A partir desse momento, vocês estão participando de um sonho: a invenção de um novo modelo de Escola onde GENTE sempre estará em primeiro lugar. Nela, as relações humanas são priorizadas, respeitadas e compreendidas em toda a sua totalidade. A paixão, a emoção e o brilho nos olhos serão os principais ingredientes da receita para futuros melhores e para uma educação mais humana. As novas tecnologias serão utilizadas para aproximar e encantar e não para distanciar ou dividir. Esse modelo nunca estará completamente pronto porque, assim como as pessoas, será constantemente recriado para dar conta de novos desafios ( Parente, 2013).

It is part of a line of research on pedagogical innovation which studies the inclusive pedagogic practice adopted by teachers from the Multifunctional Resource Classroom of the Early Childhood and Elementary School Comissário Francisco Barbosa, located in the Municipality of MaracanaúCE. Throughout this study, we investigated whether Specialized Educational Assistance is an innovative pedagogical practice that contributes to an inclusive teaching and learning process in general classrooms. In order to achieve the objectives, we chose a qualitative research in the accomplishment of a case study with ethnographic approach, emphasizing on the description of the studied reality. In our study, we used documental analysis, field journals, semi-structured interviews as well as the participant’s observations, which provided us with an approximation to the studied environment. For its theoretical basis, we supported our ideas on the studies of Carlos Fino, Seymour Papert, Thomas Kuhn, Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky. With regards to the concepts of specialized educational assistance, we used the studies from Mantoan, Valente, Cunha, among others. In conclusion, throughout this study we intended to understand whether the inclusive pedagogical practices create a pedagogical innovation and how they contribute in the teaching-learning process of students with disabilities. This study concluded that the pedagogical practices developed by the Specialized Educational Assistance favors the development of students with disabilities providing them with their own inclusion in the regular educational system as well as in the society. The pedagogical innovation of SEA was then perceived in the research by the changes in the strategies used during the actual teaching process, which eliminate the barriers that are put up against the learning and participation of students with disabilities.
