This study was conducted among three coastal communities: Aritingui, Taberaba and Tavares, located on the right of the estuary of Mamanguape River (EMR) in Paraíba, and incorporated in the Environmental Protection Area of the namesake river. Its main objective is to study the local ecological knowledge and use of wildlife resources by fishermen and collectors of these communities. This work had its theoretical and methodological focus in Ethnoecology. The sampling was intentionally non-random, where the respondents were previously defined according to the dedication and frequency in fishing activities. The fieldwork took place between the months of October 2008 and November 2009. Free unstructured interviews and direct observations were conducted with the purpose of studying aspects of the interaction between the target communities and the mangrove-estuary complex. From the free unstructured interviews, structured interviews were conducted to collect data on the exploration, utilization and conservation of resources from the mangrove-estuary of Mamanguape River. The data were analyzed using the model of unity of the various individual skills seeking to juxtapose ethnoecological to scientific knowledge. In developing the mental maps, one key informant was chosen in each community and each was asked to design, with reference to their community, the estuary with the main collection of fishery resources. The oral map was obtained from tours guided by key informants along the EMR and was to appoint the main sampling sites. Fishermen cited 13 folk generic species: 6 species of fish, 5 crustacean species and 2 species of mollusks. The species of fish most often cited was Bathygobius soporator, of crustacean was Cardisoma guanhumi and of mollusk was Crassostrea sp., which are used for consumption, with marketing only of the surplus. Fishermen perceive the spatial distribution of wildlife resources and categorize them in etnohabitats ( mangrove fish , Camboa fish ), microhabitats ( fish of strain , fish of hole and fish of lodge ) and vertical distribution ( ground fish and water flower fish ). They also showed a wide knowledge of the trophic and reproductive behavior of the most explored species. From the mental and oral maps, accurate spatial perception related to fishing sites and grooming was registered. The fishermen in the Aritingui, Taberaba and Tavares communities show detailed ethnobiological knowledge, consistent with Western science. The knowledge that these fishermen hold on the distribution of resources and its ecology, and environmental perception, is a tool valuable enough to be embedded in socio-economic plans as well as in management, conservation and sustainable use of wildlife studies.
Este estudo foi realizado junto a três comunidades ribeirinhas: Aritingui, Taberaba e Tavares, localizadas na margem direita do estuário do rio Mamanguape-PB, e inseridas na Área de Proteção Ambiental do rio homônimo e teve como principal objetivo estudar o conhecimento ecológico local e o uso dos recursos faunísticos por pescadores e catadores destas comunidades. Este trabalho teve seu enfoque teórico-metodológico fundamentado na Etnoecologia. A amostragem foi não-aleatória intencional, onde foram pré-definidos os entrevistados, em função da dedicação e freqüência na atividade pesqueira. Os trabalhos de campo ocorreram entre os meses de outubro de 2008 e novembro de 2009. Foram realizadas entrevistas livres não estruturadas e observações diretas, com a finalidade de se conhecer aspectos da interação entre as comunidades-alvo e o complexo estuário-manguezal. A partir das entrevistas livres não estruturadas, foram realizadas entrevistas estruturadas, visando obter dados sobre a exploração, utilização e conservação dos recursos provenientes do complexo estuário-manguezal do Rio Mamanguape. Os dados foram analisados segundo o modelo de união das diversas competências individuais buscando justapor o conhecimento etnoecológico ao conhecimento científico. Para a elaboração dos mapas mentais, foi escolhido um informante-chave de cada comunidade, e a cada um deles foi pedido que desenhasse, tendo como referência a sua comunidade, o estuário com os principais pontos de coleta dos recursos pesqueiros. O mapa oral foi obtido a partir de turnês guiadas pelos informantes-chaves ao longo do ERM e consistiu em nomear e georreferenciar os principais locais de coleta. Os pescadores citaram 13 genéricos folk, sendo 6 espécies de peixe, 5 espécies de crustáceos e 2 espécies de moluscos. A espécie de peixe mais citada foi Bathygobius soporator, a de crustáceo foi Cardisoma guanhumi e a de molusco foi Crassostrea sp., sendo estes recursos utilizados para consumo, com a comercialização apenas do excedente. Os pescadores percebem a distribuição espacial dos recursos faunísticos e os categorizam segundo etnohabitats ( peixes de mangue , peixes de camboa ), microhabitats ( peixes de cepa , peixes de buraco e peixes de loca ) e distribuição vertical ( peixes de chão e peixes da flor d água ). Também demonstraram amplo conhecimento sobre o comportamento trófico e reprodutivo das espécies mais exploradas. A partir dos mapas mentais e do mapa oral, ficou registrado a apurada percepção espacial relacionada aos sítios de pesca e catação. Os pescadores das comunidades de Aritingui, Taberaba e Tavares possuem conhecimento etnobiológico detalhado e coerente com a ciência ocidental. O conhecimento que estes pescadores detêm sobre a distribuição dos recursos e sua ecologia, além de sua percepção ambiental, constitui-se em uma ferramenta valiosa que é suficiente para ser incorporada tanto em planos de desenvolvimento sócio-econômicos quanto em estudos de manejo, conservação e utilização sustentável da fauna local.

Abstract:
Abstract. Stress is an important health problem and the cause for many illnesses and working days lost. It is often measured with different questionnaires that capture only the current stress levels and may come in too late for early prevention. They are also prone to subjective inaccuracies since the feeling of stress, and the physiological response to it, have been found to be individual. Real-time stress detectors, trained on biosignals like heart rate variability, exist but majority of them employ supervised learning which requires collecting a large amount of labelled data from each system user. Commonly, they are tested in situations where the stress response is deliberately induced (e.g. laboratory). Thus they may not generalise to real-life conditions where more general behavioural data could be used. In this study the issues with labelling and individuality are addressed by fitting unsupervised stress detection models at several personalisation levels. The method explored, the Self-Organizing Map, is combined with different clustering algorithms to find personal, semi-personal and general behaviour patterns that are converted to stress predictions. Laboratory biosignal-data are used for method validation. To provide an always-on type stress detection, real-life behavioural data consisting of biosignals and smartphone data are experimented on. The results show that personalisation does improve the predictions. The best classification performance for the laboratory data was found with the fully personalised model (F1-score 0.89 vs. 0.45 with the general model) but for the real-life data there was no big difference between fully personal (F1-score 0.57) and general model as long as the behaviour patterns were mapped to stress individually (F1-score 0.60). While the scores also validate the feasibility of SOM for mental stress detection, further research is needed to determine the most suitable and practical level of personalisation and an unambiguous mapping between behaviour patterns and stress.Tiivistelmä. Stressi on merkittävä terveysongelma ja syynä useisiin sairauksiin sekä työpoissaoloihin. Sitä mitataan usein erilaisilla kyselyillä, jotka kuvaavat vain hetkellistä stressitasoa ja joihin voidaan vastata liian myöhään ennaltaehkäisyn kannalta. Kyselyt ovat myös alttiita subjektiivisille epätarkkuuksille, koska stressintunteen, ja stressinaikaisten fysiologisten reaktioiden, on havaittu olevan yksilöllisiä. Reaaliaikaisia, biosignaalien kuten sykevälivaihtelun analyysiin perustuvia, stressintunnistimia on olemassa, mutta pääosin ne käyttävät ohjatun oppimisen menetelmiä, mikä vaatii jokaiselta järjestelmän käyttäjältä suuren stressintunteella merkityn aineiston. Stressintunnistimia myös usein testataan tilanteissa, joissa stressi on tahallisesti aiheutettua (esimerkiksi laboratoriossa). Siten ne eivät yleisty tosielämän tarpeisiin, jolloin voidaan käyttää yleisempää käyttäytymistä kuvaavaa aineistoa. Tässä tutkimuksessa vastataan datan merkintäongelmaan sekä yksilöllisyyden huomioimiseen käyttäen ohjaamattoman oppimisen stressintunnistusmalleja eri yksilöimisen tasoilla. Käytetty menetelmä, itseorganisoituva kartta, yhdistetään eri ryhmittelyalgoritmeihin tavoitteena löytää henkilökohtaiset, osin henkilökohtaiset sekä yleiset käyttäytymismallit, jotka muunnetaan stressiennusteiksi. Menetelmän sopivuuden vahvistamiseksi käytetään laboratoriossa kerättyä biosignaalidataa. Menetelmää sovelletaan myös tosielämän stressintunnistukseen biosignaaleista ja älypuhelimen käyttödatasta koostuvalla käyttäytymisaineistolla. Tulokset osoittavat, että yksilöiminen parantaa ennustetarkkuutta. Laboratorio-aineistolla paras luokittelutarkkuus löydettiin täysin yksilöllisellä mallilla (F1-pistemäärä 0.89, kun yleisellä 0.45). Tosielämän aineistolla täysin yksilöllisen (F1-pistemäärä 0.57) ja yleisen mallin, jossa käyttäytymismallien ja stressin välinen kuvaus määrättiin yksilöidysti (F1-pistemäärä 0.60), välinen ero ei ollut suuri. Vaikka tulokset vahvistavatkin itseorganisoituvan kartan sopivuuden psyykkisen stressin tunnistamisessa, lisätutkimusta tarvitaan määräämään soveltuvin ja käytännöllisin yksilöimisen taso sekä yksikäsitteinen kuvaus käyttäytymismallien ja stressin välille.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Marketing
As pequenas e médias empresas (PME's) e em especial as microempresas, são geralmente organizações com escassos recursos onde a gestão da marca tende a não ser uma das prioridades. Para além disso a literatura existente sobre gestão da marca em PME's é escassa, sendo grande parte da investigação realizada no contexto de grandes multinacionais. Este projeto tem como propósito auxiliar uma microempresa a implementar algumas medidas de gestão da marca que lhe permita afirmar-se nos seus mercados alvo. Foi, assim, realizada uma revisão da literatura tendo como temas principais a gestão da marca e as PME's. Estabelecida a base teórica e considerando o contexto da empresa, foi realizado um estudo qualitativo com entrevistas semiestruturadas à gerente da empresa e a três dos seus clientes. Com base na análise da informação recolhida foram elaborados dois mapas mentais da marca Designrut. O primeiro com base nas características de personalidade da marca enunciadas pela gerente da empresa e o segundo com base nas características que os clientes associam à marca. Foram comparados os mapas e destacados os pontos em comum. Foram identificados os pontos de paridade e os pontos de diferença da Designrut face aos seus concorrentes que, serviram de base para definir o posicionamento pretendido para a marca. Finalmente, foram apresentadas recomendações de ação à empresa tendo em vista melhorar o seu branding e construir uma marca mais forte. Nestas recomendações inclui-se o desenvolvimento dos elementos da marca, o marketing mix de apoio à marca e a alavancagem de associações secundárias.
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and especially micro-enterprises are usually organizations with scarce resources where brand management tends not to be a priority. In addition, the literature on brand management in SMEs is scarce, and much of the research is undertaken in the context of large multinationals. This project aims to assist a micro-enterprise to implement some brand management measures enabling it to establish in its target markets. A literature review has been done on brand management main topics and SMEs. Established the theoretical basis and considering the business context, a qualitative study was conducted with semi-structured interviews with the manager of the company and three of its customers. Based on the information collected two mental maps of the Designrut brand were developed. The first, based on personality characteristics of the brand as perceived by the manager and the second based on the customers associations to the brand. The maps were compared and the commonalities highlighted. Designrut's points of parity and points of difference over its competitors were identified and served as the basis to set the desired positioning for the brand. Finally, recommendations of action were presented to the company to improve its branding and build a stronger brand. These recommendations include the development of the brand elements, the marketing mix elements to support the brand and leveraging of secondary associations.

Abstract:
Mental map is considered as an individual’s mental representation of his/her spatial cognition. People learn from the environment and add information to their personal mental map. It becomes important when we try to understand the relationships between one’s travel decision processes and their choice sets. The aim of this paper is to study the relationship between individuals’ activity travel patterns and their mental map by exploring people’s spatial cognition, their activity space and related factors. Two-week travel diary and mental maps were collected for the same 57 individuals in Stockholm. Respondents were asked to report their recent trip information in the travel diary and draw their familiar areas in specified maps. The specified maps, to some extent, reflect respondents’ mental maps by transferring this abstract concept from one’s mind to a visual representation. The derived mental maps were manually drawn and transferred from graph to ASCII code in ArcGIS. The visited activity locations on where people travelled during the observed period were used to construct one’s activity space. The key determinants that construct these activity space and mental map will be investigated. Marginal effect of each key variable will be calculated to understand the magnitude of influence of each variable into the spatial distribution of the given individual’s activity space and mental map. The result shows that individual’s activity space is not necessarily within individual mental map. Both activity space and mental map are correlated with individual’s travel pattern factors. Mental map has positive influence to the formation of activity space. The inference of marginal effect is useful for urban planning, promoting transport policies and analyzing the effect of transport infrastructure since it can help to locate the places that constitute individual’s activity space and mental map areas.

O presente trabalho objetiva através dos projetos SUA NOTA É UM SHOW e SUA NOTA É UM SHOW DE SOLIDARIEDADE, evidenciar as principais perspectivas, implícitas e explícitas, alimentadas por seus dirigentes diretos e idealizadores em relação às motivações semeadas por essas respectivas campanhas, bem como o êxito por elas proporcionado. Foram analisados os dois primeiros projetos do PET-BA: SUA NOTA É UM SHOW e SUA NOTA É UM SHOW DE SOLIDARIEDADE. Buscou-se como base teórica, os aspectos relativos ao estudo da Teoria Cognitiva Organizacional como formação de esquemas, scripts, modelo e mapas mentais individuais e em grupo. O trabalho se restringe à investigação apenas dos dirigentes e implementadores que participaram de alguma forma e ainda participam do PETBA, não se preocupando em confrontar se as percepções dos entrevistados, em relação ao sucesso e atingimento dos objetivos de cada projeto compactuam com as percepções dos beneficiários diretos de cada projeto ou mesmo de outros grupos, através de perguntas abertas e posterior análise e tratamento desses dados. É apresentado os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a existência de esquemas mentais semelhantes em um grupo de pessoas que participaram e, ainda, participam da implementação do Programa de Educação Tributária da Bahia (PET-BA), pela Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado da Bahia. Com essa finalidade, os objetivos iniciais do trabalho foram alcançados revelando a existência de pontos e idéias comuns nas falas dos entrevistados demonstrando a existência de um esquema mental, praticamente, único em relação ao PET-BA.

The insertion of the Cartography within the teaching of Geography, is something extremely relevant for the critical formation of the students. Thus, it is sought to understand the insertion proposal, and also what the student's perception of the environment in which he is present. This dissertation is based on a theoretical background focusing on the relevance of Cartography teaching in the school environment, as well as the collection of documentary data from govern of the state public education, such as the National Curriculum Parameters (NCPs), the Reference Curriculum of the State Network of Goiás and Analysis of the Pedagogical Political Projects in this country. Seeking to have a real notion of the students' understanding of the cartographic content that was taught to them and the relation that they make with experienced geographic space, the analysis of the representations of mental maps produced by students of the 6th grade from two state schools of Pires do Rio (GO). As part of the results achieved, it was possible to perceive some of the main collective difficulties expressed in the representations. One part of the research that drew much attention was the analysis of representations produced by students with special educational needs. In this way, it was possible, through the representations, to understand the perception that 6th grade students have of cartographic teaching.

Uma parte da pesquisa que chamou muita atenção foi das análises das representações produzidas pelos alunos com Necessidades Educacionais Especiais. Deste modo, foi possível, através das representações feitas, compreender a percepção que os alunos do 6º ano têm do ensino cartográfico.

Abstract:
The thesis studies feasibility of using mind mapping applications for IT project management. The main objective is the analysis of using mind mapping applications in the context of project management and finding the links between mind maps and components of project management. The thesis is divided into two parts -- theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part the author clarifies the mind mapping concept, how to create mind maps and the use of those. The relatively broad area of project management is introduced in the same manner starting with the main terms, brief overview of the project management methodologies and standards. The introduction further continues by describing individual project phases, their dimensions and provides examples of tools and techniques. The practical part consists of three chapters. In the first chapter the author analyses mind mapping SW applications, describes the mind mapping software market and explains the selection of an appropriate tool using multi criteria evaluation and using hands on experience with the tools. The second chapter demonstrates practical examples of project management topics with related instances of mental models and everyday activities where mind maps can be used. The last chapter describes a survey related to the awareness of mind mapping concepts which also gathers feedback about mind mapping application experience from IT project management professionals.

Abstract:
This thesis studied the relationship between current event knowledge and the ability to construct a mental map of the world. It was hypothesized that participates with more current event knowledge would demonstrate better mental mapping abilities. The study was designed using two activities recommended for 12th graders by Geography for Life, National Geography Standards 1994, and the theory of spatial familiarity (Kitchen, 1994b; Gale et al., 1990, Golledge & Spector, 1978). One hundred-twenty eight students drawn from two courses offered at Virginia Tech completed a participant profile questionnaire, a current event quiz, drew a map of the world outlining the seven continents, and located and labeled 27 cities on a world map. Using ATLAS GIS the sketch maps and place locations were digitally transformed and scored for accuracy. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze current event knowledge, place location ability, and sketch mapping ability. Using Spearman rank correlation, the relationship between current event knowledge and mental mapping abilities was assessed at a number of levels. Results indicate that participants with a stronger understanding of current events tended to create a more accurate mental map of the world. That is, place location accuracy and drawing accuracy correlated with current event knowledge. However, similar to previous research (Cross, 1987; Helgren, 1983; Muller, 1985) place location knowledge outside of North America and Western Europe was poor. The results of this thesis offer baseline data that can be used for future research to study the effectiveness of the national standards set forth in Geography for Life.

The objective of this research is to employ Geographical Information Systems to fisheries management in the Mekong River Basin. The study uses artisanal fisheries practices in Khong district, Champasack province Lao PDR as a case study. The research focuses on integrating indigenous and scientific knowledge in fisheries management; how local communities use indigenous knowledge to access and manage their fish conservation zones; and the contribution of scientific knowledge to fishery co-management practices at village level. Specific attention is paid to how GIS can aid the integration of these two knowledge systems into a sustainable management system for fisheries resources. Fieldwork was conducted in three villages in the Khong district, Champasack province and Catch per Unit of Effort / hydro-acoustic data collected by the Living Aquatic Resources Research Centre was used to analyse and look at the differences and/or similarities between indigenous and scientific knowledge which can supplement each other and be used for small scale fisheries management. The results show that GIS has the potential not only for data storage and visualisation, but also as a tool to combine scientific and indigenous knowledge in digital maps. Integrating indigenous knowledge into a GIS framework can strengthen indigenous nowledge, from un processed data to information that scientists and decision-makers can easily access and use as a supplement to scientific knowledge in aquatic resource decision-making and planning across different levels. The results show that when scientific and indigenous knowledge are both stored digitally in GIS databases, a variety of analysis can be done. Multiple layers or visualising functions in ArcGIS are an example of ways in which indigenous and scientific knowledge can be combined in GIS. Maps of deep pools and important fishing grounds gathered using GPS and indigenous knowledge provide base maps of aquatic resources in the study area. The attribute table associated with the map links characteristics of each point, including fishing gear and species found in each pool as well as spawning grounds and migration periods. This information is useful for management and planning purposes. This research illustrates that mental maps and GIS digital maps can be used for fisheries management at different levels. Where mental maps are suitable for communicating with the local community and have the potential for use in fisheries co-management in small-scale fisheries; GIS may be appropriated for data storage and analysis at provincial and national levels, it can be used as a communication tool amongst stakeholders to monitor and understand the aquatic environment.

Abstract:
The field of social network analysis has expanded from the field of social science to the fields of human factors and ergonomics. There is a theory that suggest that one can use the social network methods and create an information network which describes the network from an information sharing perspective and and there are also theories which describes how social network analysis can be used study cognitive maps (mental models). This thesis touches both of these subjects in an attempt to investigate how social network analysis can be used together with real-time information as a data source to investigate the cognitive maps of individuals and comparing these maps with an organisations expected structure based on protocols. The study conducted showed that it was indeed possible to change the social network analysis method into an information based network which explains the origin of a mental model and to study information be- haviour, in a network, but there are still variables which needs to be studied further (e.g. failed information sharing and temporal aspects of information sharing).

Abstract:
Studium prostorové syntaxe a prostorového poznání (vnímání) ukázalo a určilo statistický vztah mezi vlastnostmi prostoru a prostorovým poznáváním (schopnost jednotlivců připomenout a představit si mapu prostoru). Disertační práce zdůrazňuje aspekt prostorového poznávání, který je založen na podobě a kvalitě prostředí. Prezentuje myšlenku, že poznávací mapování jako proces je kulturně vymezený. Jeho výsledky jsou přejímány a filtrovány z prostředí, v němž lidé žijí. To znamená, že mohou vznikat různé výsledky poznávacího mapování a různé výsledky založené na lidských hodnotách. Pokud by se prokázalo, že proces je ovlivněn hodnotami lidí a jejich kulturními návyky, znamenalo by to, že existuje další faktor individuální mentální reprezentace prostoru. Ten zahrnuje aspekty, které pomáhají jednotlivcům získat specifické povědomí o tom, co je pro ně vyhovující prostředí. Cílem disertační práce je analyzovat tento předpoklad zkoumáním vztahu mezi vlastnostmi prostoru a prostorovým poznáváním a prokázat, že rozdíl v kultuře lidí ovlivňuje tento vztah. V práci jsou zodpovězeny dvě klíčové otázky: První - zda existuje souvislost mezi prostorovým vnímáním a satisfakcí lidí z jejich životního prostředí, a druhá - zda taková spokojenost ovlivňuje vztah mezi prostorovým uspořádáním a prostorovým poznáním. Další otázka plynoucí z analýzy zní: Které kulturní hodnoty jsou spojeny s procesem prostorového poznání? Mezi hlavní nástroje a postupy používané v práci patří: software prostorové syntaxe, analýza vlastností prostoru v rámci dvou studijních oblastí - Brno centrum města (Česká Republika) a staré Město Damašek (Sýrie), dotazník zkoumající spokojenost lidí, test prostorového mapování a pozorování chodců. Z analýzy vyplývá: Za prvé - existuje vztah mezi prostorovým poznáním a satisfakcí, za druhé - prostorové poznání má tendenci být ovlivněno nejen strukturou prostoru, ale také způsobem, jakým ho lidé vnímají a jaký mu přisuzují smysl. Práce se snaží celkově objasnit vliv prostorové konfigurace na vztah mezi lidmi a prostorem, zvlášť na vztah mezi prostorovou konfigurací a množstvím lidí v prostoru.

Abstract:
No município de Caraá, localiza-se a Área de Proteção Ambiental do Caraá (APA), representando 30% da área total do município. Nessa área, localiza-se a cascata e a nascente do Rio dos Sinos. Apesar de ser uma APA, existem conflitos em sua gestão, principalmente com o uso e manejo do solo. A legislação foi implementada sem um adequado processo de Educação Ambiental. O conhecimento da percepção ambiental da população desse município em relação à APA de Caraá é essencial para o desenvolvimento de programas de gestão e Educação Ambiental para a garantia da conservação desta. Assim, a presente tese tem como objetivo central compreender a percepção ambiental dos moradores locais, em relação à APA de Caraá, a fim de analisar os conflitos de uso da APA, confrontando com os critérios de uso estabelecidos pelos gestores da área e assim verificar se os conflitos, quanto ao uso da APA, decorrem de esta ter sido criada sem a participação da comunidade e desvinculada da Educação Ambiental. Considerando a abordagem da pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa, com caráter exploratório-descritivo, o presente estudo foi dividido em duas grandes etapas. Primeira: caracterização ambiental da área de estudo; Segunda: caracterização da percepção ambiental dos moradores próximos à APA de Caraá, com ênfase na topofilia e topofobia, através dos seguintes instrumentos: entrevistas semiestruturadas e mapas mentais. Foram realizadas entrevistas com: cem moradores; o cacique da tribo Mbya Guaranis, bem como os professores (dezessete professores) e alunos das séries finais, da quinta à oitava série do ensino fundamental, das escolas participantes desse estudo (total de cem alunos). Para investigar a percepção, a topofilia e a topofobia e considerar qual o significado da APA do Caraá para seus moradores, foi realizado o mapa mental com três moradores entrevistados, de cada uma das comunidades citadas, tendo um total de trinta mapas; com os alunos e professores participantes desse estudo, bem como com cinco índios da tribo Mbya Guaranis. A metodologia de interpretação dos mapas mentais foi feita a partir das orientações de Kozel, de forma adaptada. Foram produzidos 144 mapas mentais, distribuídos nas cinco subcategorias criadas: Landmarks (com ou sem expressões linguísticas); Landmarks e Cascata (com ou sem expressões linguísticas); Landmarks, cascata e Antropismo (com ou sem expressões linguísticas); Landmarks e Antropismo (com ou sem expressões linguísticas) e Landmarks e Antropismo Negativo (com ou sem expressões linguísticas). A partir dos mapas mentais complementados através das entrevistas, foi construída a percepção ambiental dos moradores locais, em relação à APA de Caraá, revelando, em sua maioria, aspectos topofílicos para com a área da cascata do Rio dos Sinos (parte da APA) e aspectos topofílicos e topofóbicos para com o “lugar-vivido” (dentro ou próximo da APA). Os moradores não conhecem os critérios de uso e restrições da APA, o que demonstra a falta de envolvimento da comunidade na elaboração destes. Os conflitos quanto ao uso da APA decorrem principalmente do fato desta ter sido implantada sem um processo de Educação Ambiental adequado, sem a participação da comunidade local.
In the Caraa municipality there is the Environmental Protection Area (EPA), representing 30% of the total area in the municipality. In this area there is the waterfall and the source of Sinos River. Despite being the EPA, there are conflicts in its management, mainly due to the use and soil management. The legislation has been implemented without a suitable environmental educational process. The environmental perception knowledge in the population of such municipality in relation to the Caraa EPA is essential to the development of management programs in the Environmental Education to the guarantee of its conservation. Thus, this very thesis has as its main goal to understand the environmental perception of local residents in relation to Caraa’s EPA, in order to analyze the EPA conflicts of usage, confronting the established criteria usage by the managers in the area and hence verifying if the conflicts with the EPA usage are due to it had been created without the community participation and untied from the Environmental Education. Considering the qualitative and quantitative research approach, with exploitative descriptive character such study has been divided and two large phases: 1st Environmental characterization in the study area and 2nd Characterization of the environmental perception of the near residents of the Caraa’s EPA, with emphasis in the topofilia* and Topophobia through these instruments: Semi-structured interviews and mental maps. 100 interviews with residents have been made, the Mbya Guaranis chieftain tribe, as well as the teachers (17 of them) and junior-high school students- from 5th to 8th grades of junior-high schools form the participant schools in this study (total of 100 students). To investigate the perception, the topofilia and Topophobia and consider what the meaning of the Caraa’s EPA is for the its residents, central maps have been made with three residents from the mentioned communities, having a total of 30 maps; with participant students and teachers in such study, as well as 5 Indians from the Mbya Guaranis tribe. The central maps interpretation methodology has been done through Kozel’s orientations in an adapted way. 144 mental maps have been produced and distributed under 5 subcategories made: Landmarks (with or without linguistic expressions); Landmarks and Waterfall (with or without linguistic expressions), Landmarks, Waterfall and Settlement (with or without linguistic expressions) and Landmarks and negative Settlement (with or without linguistic expressions). Throughout the mental maps complemented through interviews residents environmental perception in relation of the Caraa’s EPA has been built, revealing in its majority, topofilia aspects in relation to the waterfall area in the Rio dos Sinos (part of the EPA) and the topofilia ones and Topophobic ones to the “lived place” (inside or near the EPA). The residents are not aware of the criteria of the use and restrictions of the EPA which shows the lack of community involvement in the elaboration of it. The conflicts due to the usage of the EPA are mainly related to the fact of it had been implanted without an adequate environmental education process, with the local community participation.

Este trabalho analisa algumas possibilidades referentes ao uso das imagens na construção do conhecimento em Geografia, entendidas como mediação do processo de interpretação e compreensão da realidade socioespacial. Para isso, assumimos o espaço urbano, mais especificamente o Subúrbio Ferroviário de Salvador, como espaço de aprendizagem, no qual se esenvolveu os registros das percepções ambientais aliados ao espaço da sala de aula, local por excelência para o desenvolvimento das aprendizagens teórico-conceituais que simultaneamente foram confrontados com os dados coletados e os saberes produzidos no espaço urbano. O objetivo estabelecido pela pesquisa foi compreender como os aprendentes constroem/aproximam-se do conceitual da ciência geográfica a partir de exercícios que estimulassem a percepção ambiental urbana elaboração/produção de imagens sobre a cidade aliadas às narrativas verbal-escrita. O referencial teórico conceitual foi organizado a partir da fenomenologia, da Geografia Humanística, nas suas perspectivas culturalistas. Quanto aos procedimentos de pesquisa, foram priorizados aqueles que caracterizam as Ciências Humanas nas suas abordagens qualitativas, das pesquisas etnográficas centradas na análise do cotidiano escolar, no estudo do meio, na descrição e contextualização dos fenômenos espaciais, na elaboração de mapas mentais, leitura e interpretação de imagens, além da construção de narrativas nas quais os autores descrevem suas produções. A análise proposta pela pesquisa permitiu compreender como se desenvolve o processo de percepção ambiental urbana e como os aprendentes constroem/aproximam-se dos conceitos fundadores da ciência geográfica; lugar, paisagem e espaço social ao elaborar novos esquemas cognitivos.

Abstract:
As the headline suggests, it's not always easy to find the right way, especially when it comesto places we have never visited before. To not find or not being able to orientate in a place can create some uncertainty and may ultimately give a negative experience. This study examines how spatial and visual elements can clarify the orientation of an already built space without making any major architectural changes. The roombeing examined in this studyis the Modern Museum's foyer in Stockholm and the work is written in the subject information design with a focus on spatial design.The methods used are room analysis containing a site analysis, observation and notation analysis and three qualitative interviews. Theories and previous research in orientation and wayfinding, experienceroom, Gestalt psychology and perception and the mental mapare involved in this study. With the help of thesetheories and previous research as well asempirics, a design proposal has been developed where the visitor is more likely to orient himself by creating clearer features.
Som rubriken antyder är det inte alltid så lätt att hitta rätt, det gäller speciellt när vi kommer till platser vi aldrig besökt innan. Att inte hitta eller att inte kunna orientera sig på en plats kan skapa en viss osäkerhet och kan i slutändan ge en negativ upplevelse. I den här studien undersöks hur rumsliga och visuella element kan förtydliga orienteringen i ett redan byggt rum utan att göra några större arkitektoniska ändringar. Rummet i studien är Moderna museets foajé i Stockholm och arbetet är skrivet inom ämnet informationsdesign med inriktning rumslig gestaltning. Metoderna som använts är rumsanalys som innehåller en platsanalys, observation och notationsanalys och tre kvalitativa intervjuer. Teorier och tidigare forskning inom orientering och vägledning, rumsupplevelse, gestaltpsykologi och perception och den mentala kartanberörs i arbetet. Med hjälp av dessateorier och tidigare forskning samt empirinhar ett gestaltningsförslag tagits fram där besökaren lättare ska kunna orientera sig genom att tydligare funktioner har skapats.

This work uses mind maps to describe requirements and investigates this not well known application through an experiment. The experiment was based on desirable features sought by requirements engineers in notations and functions offered by tools. Both provided input to small changes in mind maps before a real specification was produced for the experiment. The results show that mind maps should be considered seriously as an alternative notation to describe software requirements
Este trabalho investiga o uso de mapas mentais na engenharia de requisitos, com destaque para o registro de requisitos. Características e funcionalidades desejáveis por engenheiros de requisitos foram coletadas e motivaram adaptações nos mapas mentais para uso neste domínio.

During everyday activities, we mentally produce paths and/or routes full of information. This mental process once transfered to a piece of paper is called ?mind map?, which is the recommended tool to understand what was lived and to introduce school cartography. At schools, cartography taught by teachers goes through a lot of challenges, due to the complexity existed around it. However, when the 12th grade student H?h?h?i Patax? of the Indigenous State School draws a symbolic map of his territory and his pathway between his house and school, are there represented, symbolic aspects, identity and cultural aspects, from the most significant elements to him. This research aimed to learn from the mental maps and semi-structured interviews the perception that indigenous student from the mentioned village has about their ethnic territory and the place of experience, both categories of geographical analysis. The survey was conducted in three different moments: first, in order to identify prior knowlegde, students wererequested to produce two mind maps, depicting the route that they make from their homes to school and of the territory of the village; the second was the pedagogical mediation performed by this teacher/researcher during Five meetings with didactic sequences about school cartography. At the last moment of post-mediation, once again, students were requested to produce the two mind maps, in order to compare them, then checking what changes occurred. The approach methodology used was the phenomenological, grounded in Humanistic Geography, with emphasis on Spatial Perception. To analyze the data, Semiotics was used in an attempt to understand the sign and phenomenology, the phenomenon, from a descriptive analysis of the drawings and their comprehension by the students? explanations. After analyzing the data it can be concluded that in the drawings of the mind maps were present, not only the representation of the place and territory, but also the cartographic language empowerment, via the use of conventional cartographic elements as well as the perception representation enrichment, in which the lived world becomes of salutary importance for meaningful learning.
Durante as atividades realizadas no cotidiano, produzimos mentalmente percursos e/ou caminhos, repletos de informa??es. Este processo mental, quando transferido para o papel, denomina-se ?mapa mental?, ferramenta indicada, principalmente para a compreens?o do vivido e introdu??o para o estudo da Cartografia Escolar. Nas escolas, o ensino de Cartografia, realizado pelos professores ainda enfrenta in?meros desafios, visto a complexidade que existe em seu entorno. No entanto, quando o aluno Patax? H?h?h?i, do 3? ano, do Ensino M?dio, do Col?gio Estadual Ind?gena, desenha o mapa do seu territ?rio simb?lico e do percurso que ele realiza entre a sua casa e a escola, est? ali representado, aspectos simb?licos, identit?rios e culturais, a partir dos elementos mais significativos para ele. Nesta pesquisa objetivou-se saber, atrav?s dos mapas mentais e da entrevista semiestruturada, qual a percep??o que o aluno ind?gena, da referida aldeia possui acerca do seu territ?rio ?tnico e do lugar de viv?ncia, ambas as categorias de an?lise geogr?fica. A pesquisa foi realizada em tr?s momentos distintos: primeiro, no intuito de identificar os conhecimentos pr?vios, foi solicitado aos alunos que produzissem dois mapas mentais, representando o percurso que eles fazem da sua casa at? a escola e do territ?rio da aldeia; o segundo foi a media??o pedag?gica, realizada por este professor/pesquisador, durante cinco encontros, com Sequ?ncias Did?ticas sobre Cartografia Escolar. No ?ltimo momento, de p?s-media??o foi solicitado, novamente, aos alunos que produzissem os dois mapas mentais, a fim de compar?-los, verificando quais altera??es ocorreram. O m?todo de abordagem utilizado foi o fenomenol?gico, alicer?ado na vertente da Geografia Humanista, com ?nfase na Percep??o Geogr?fica. Para analisar os dados, utilizou-se a Semi?tica, na tentativa de compreender o signo e a Fenomenologia, o fen?meno, a partir de uma an?lise descritiva dos desenhos e da interpreta??o deles, atrav?s das falas dos alunos. Ap?s a an?lise dos dados pode-se concluir que nos desenhos dos mapas mentais estavam presentes, n?o s? a representa??o do lugar e do territ?rio, mas tamb?m o empoderamento quando ? linguagem cartogr?fica, via a utiliza??o dos elementos convencionais cartogr?ficos, bem como do enriquecimento da representa??o perceptiva, no qual o mundo vivido passa a ter import?ncia salutar para a aprendizagem significativa.

Abstract:
The overarching aim of this research project is to identify a comprehensive and detailed outline of the systemic therapist competences in the Norwegian child and adolescent mental health (BUP) that target the psychosocial difficulties that are categorized as associated abnormal psychosocial situations in the multiaxial classification of child and adolescent psychiatric disorders/axis 5 (ICD-10). The project is based on twelve qualitative in-depth interviews with six experienced systemic family therapists, fieldwork observations of the therapists (participants) in practice and an analysis of the Norwegian Directorate of Health’s guidelines for child and adolescent mental health institutions. The specific research questions for this research project are: 1. In the context of child and adolescent mental health, what are the different competences in a systemic family therapy approach that address the associated abnormal psychosocial situations? 2. What are the legally binding requirements in the Norwegian Directorate of Health’s (2008) guidelines for child and adolescent mental health? 3. How does systemic family therapy interconnect with the Norwegian Directorate of Health`s (2008) guidelines for child and adolescent mental health? Grounded theory (GT) was chosen as the main methodology for this study. During the analysis, the following six overarching categories were identified: (1): legally binding requirements; (2) the importance of ethical and contextual awareness in systemic therapy; (3) the systemic therapist’s stance; (4) therapeutic processes; (5) therapeutic practices; and (6) session-specific features. Challenges, such as limiting the systemic approach to six overarching competences, are discussed alongside this study’s strengths and limitations, and suggestions for future research are presented. The detailed outline of the systemic therapist competences and the legally binding requirements in the Norwegian Directorate of Health’s guidelines was compiled into a “map of competences”. The findings show that the legally binding requirements interconnect and overlap with the identified systemic competences, although their wording and their inclusion of diagnosis can challenge the systemic ideas of using a non-pathologizing language. The map of competences is intended to be applied as a tool for clinical supervision, clinical practice, education and training in family therapy. This research may also facilitate a “bridge-building process” between mental health and postmodern systemic ideas.

Abstract:
Résumé : La bande marine côtière, au-delà d’être un espace physique attaché aux territoires terrestres communaux, est aujourd’hui un lieu à la fois d’enjeux socio-économiques importants et de risques majeurs tels que la submersion marine. Les élus locaux, en première ligne face à ces enjeux, semblent considérer pour la plupart que la mer est en dehors de leur territoire. Nous postulons que sans une évolution de cette vision de la situation, aucune décision durable ne pourra être envisagée. Pour accompagner ce changement de perception, nous préconisons l’étude des représentations, véritables viviers d’information pour identifier les freins et les leviers à la prise de décision. Cerner la représentation qu’ont les élus locaux de leur territoire littoral et marin et comprendre leur cheminement vers la prise décision constitue ainsi l’objectif de cette étude. La combinaison entre une population d’un certain statut et un objet social physique nous a conduit à élaborer une méthodologie multidimensionnelle dont la singularité réside dans la mobilisation du processus d’ancrage à la fois pour l’étude de la représentation sociale, pour celle de la représentation iconospatiale et enfin dans la relation d’emboîtement. Un questionnaire, une carte graphique à main levée et un scénario de submersion marine ont constitué les trois outils clés du travail avec lesquels nous avons établi diverses corrélations s’appuyant sur des techniques d’analyses propres à la psychologie sociale et à la théorie des représentations sociales. Trois recherches se sont succédées. La première a mis à l’épreuve la méthodologie pour cerner la représentation sociale et la représentation iconospatiale. La deuxième s’est attachée à révéler le lien entre les contenus des représentations sociales et ceux des représentations iconospatiales en établissant une corrélation entre une typologie de dessins et une typologie d’élus.Enfin la troisième recherche a tenté de démontrer que certains points d’ancrage d’une représentation stabilisée (la politique communale), au travers d’une relation d’emboitement avec une représentation émergente portant sur un objet social environnemental (la submersion marine), constituaient de potentiels indicateurs d’acceptabilité sociale d’une problématique.Globalement, cette étude suggère l’intérêt certain de l’usage de carte graphique pour l’étude de ce type d’objet social physique sous couvert d’un processus d’ancrage particulièrement efficient pour structurer encore davantage les méthodes de compréhension de la relation homme-territoire
Abstract : The coastal land strip, beyond being physical space attached to communal land territories, is today a focal point of heightening socio-economic issues, with significant risks of marine flooding and submersion. The majority of elected representatives on the front line facing these various issues seem to consider that the sea is beyond their jurisdiction. We postulate that without overhaul of this viewpoint, no long term decision can be envisaged. To accompany this new viewpoint, we recommend the study of representations, which are true breeding grounds for information that can help in identifying what holds back and what facilitates decision-making. The objective of the present study is to understand the representation that the locally elected have of the coastal and marine territory and further, the pathways in decision making. Linking a population of a certain social standing with a physical social object led us to develop a multi-dimensional methodology whose uniqueness resides in the mobilisation of the anchoring process, this for the study of social and icono-spatial representations, and how they interlink. We have established various correlations founded on analysis techniques used in social psychology and the theory of social representations, this by way of three key tools : a questionnaire, a hand-drawn map and a scenario of marine submersion. Three areas of research ensued. The first deployed the methodology to discern the social and icono-spatial representations. The second was to reveal the link between the contents of social and icono-spatial representations by establishing a correlation between a type of drawing and type of elected representative. The third area of research aimed to demonstrate that certain anchoring points of a stabilised representation (municipal politics) by their interlinking with an emerging representation focussed on an environmental social object (marine submersion) constituted potential indicators of social acceptability of the problem.Overall, this study suggests a strong interest for the map method for the study of this type of social physical object under the guise of the mobilisation of an anchoring process. This is particularly efficient in further structuring the methods to understand man-territory relationships

No romance A defesa Lujin, de Vladimir Nabokov, publicado em russo em 1930, o texto procura levar o leitor a adotar processos mentais similares ao de um jogador de xadrez e de um esquizofrênico, características do personagem-título do romance. Delineiam-se as expectativas e circunstâncias de um ser de papel que se vê jogando um xadrez em que também é peça e traçam-se paralelos com as expectativas e circunstâncias do leitor perante esse texto literário. O prefácio de Nabokov à edição em inglês de 1964 é tomado como indício de um leitor e um autor implícitos que ele procura moldar. Para análise dos elementos textuais e níveis de abstração mental envolvidos, recorre-se à estética da recepção de Wolfgang Iser e a diversas ideias do psiquiatra e etnólogo Gregory Bateson, entre elas o conceito de duplo vínculo, com atenção às distinções entre mapa/território e play/game. Um duplo duplo vínculo é perpetrado na interação leitor-texto: 1) o leitor é convidado a sentir empatia pela situação do personagem Lujin e a considerá-lo lúcido e louco ao mesmo tempo; e 2) o leitor é colocado como uma instância pseudo-transcendental incapaz de comunicação com a instância inferior (Lujin), gerando uma angústia diretamente relacionável ao seu envolvimento com a ficção, replicando de certa forma a loucura de Lujin. A sinestesia do personagem Lujin é identificada como um dos elementos do texto capaz de recriar a experiência de jogar xadrez até para quem não aprecia o jogo. Analisa-se a conexão entre a esquizofrenia ficcional do personagem Lujin e a visão batesoniana do alcoolismo
In Vladimir Nabokovs novel, The Luzhin Defense, published in Russian in 1930, the text beckons the reader on to adopt mental processes similar to a chess players and a schizophrenic persons both traits of the novels title character. This character sees himself both as player and piece of an ongoing game of chess; his expectations and predicaments are traced in parallel to the readers own as he or she navigates the text. Nabokovs preface to the 1964 English edition is taken as an indication that he tries to shape both an implicit reader and an implicit author. In order to analyze the elements of the text and degrees of mental abstraction involved in this, we refer to Wolfgang Isers reader-response theory and also many of psychiatrist and ethnologist Gregory Batesons ideas, such as the double bind, with special regard to map vs. territory and play vs. game distinctions. A double double bind is built within the reader-text interplay as follows: 1) the reader is invited to feel empathy for Luzhins predicament and to regard him at once as sane and insane; and 2) the reader is posited as a pseudo-transcendental instance unable to communicate with his nether instance (Luzhin) in such a way that it brews a feeling of anxiety directly relatable to his or her engagement in the work of fiction, reproducing, in a way, Luzhins madness. Luzhins synesthesia is identified as one of the text elements with the ability to recreate the chess-playing experience even to readers who are not fond of the game. The connection between Luzhins fictional schizophrenia and Batesons views on alcoholism is analyzed

Abstract:
Há vários anos, o adequado entendimento sobre o funcionamento do Sistema Toyota de Produção (STP) vem desafiando as comunidades científica e empresarial. O crescente desempenho competitivo, galgado com base na aplicação continuada do paradigma da produção enxuta nas suas operações, vem sendo atestado pelos extraordinários resultados obtidos pela montadora japonesa. Como conseqüência, os tradicionais líderes da indústria automobilística como a GM, Ford e Chrysler vêm cedendo, paulatinamente, os seus lugares no ranking dos maiores produtores mundiais, à Toyota. A despeito de todos os esforços por parte da maioria das empresas industriais, em especial, das grandes montadoras, em tentar replicar o referido sistema de produção, freqüentes têm sido os insucessos. Tais processos têm se caracterizado, com poucas exceções, pela ausência de uma abordagem de longo prazo na condução da implementação e pela carência de compreensão sobre os conceitos e princípios que regem e embasam o STP. Com isso, se multiplicam as cópias de técnicas e ferramentas enxutas nas mais variadas realidades industriais, as quais são geralmente aplicadas com o objetivo de auferir resultados imediatos. Essas aplicações são feitas sem o necessário entendimento sistêmico sobre a função que cada ferramenta deve executar dentro do sistema de produção como um todo. Dentro deste contexto, as lideranças não têm mostrado suficiente compreensão sobre o aprendizado subjacente que caracteriza esses processos de mudança. Com o intuito de contribuir com a discussão científico-prática que busca encontrar soluções para esses problemas, esta tese propõe um Modelo de Guia que organiza as fases iniciais do processo de implementação da Produção Enxuta (Decisão de adoção e Preparação para a implementação). Esse Guia se baseia na valorização e na priorização do entendimento do funcionamento sistêmico do STP (princípios e capacitadores práticos que os operacionalizam sistemicamente), destacando a preparação da liderança no papel de agente de mudança dentro dos processos de transformação enxuta. Em cada fase prevista neste modelo, são detalhados os passos que reforçam o aprendizado organizacional imprescindível ao processo de transformação, os quais promovem o adequado enfrentamento aos desafios que naturalmente tendem a bloquear esse tipo de empreendimento.
For several years, an accurate understanding about the running of Toyota Production System (TPS) has been challenging both scientific and business communities. The rising competitive performance based on the continuous application of the lean manufacturing paradigm in their operations, has led Toyota to achieve outstanding results. Consequently, traditional automobilistic industry leaders such as GM, Ford and Chrysler have been gradually losing their ranking places as worldwide greatest manufacturers to the japanese car company. Despite all efforts made by most industrial corporations, the attempt to replicate the referred production system has been unsuccessful. Such processes are charaterized, with few exemptions, by the absence of a long term approach on the implementation management, in addition to the lack of a comprehension of concepts and principles that rule and underpin the TPS. Therefore, copies of lean techniques and tools in the most varied industrial realities are being multiplied and generally implemented in order to obtain immediate results. Such procedures are made without the proper systemic understanding on the role played by each tool in the production system as a whole. Within this context, the leaders have proven frequently an unaccurate understanding about the subjacent learning which characterizes these processes of change. Aiming to contribute with a practical-scientific discussion, which manages to find solutions to the afore mentioned problems, this thesis proposes a Guide Model that organizes the initial phases of the Lean Manufacturing implementation process (Decision of adoption and Preparation of implementation). This guide focuses on the valorization and on the prioritization of the TPS´s systemic running comprehension (principles and the practical tools that systemically operationalize them), highlighting the preparation of the leadership on the role of agent of change within the lean transformation processes. At each stage presented in this model, are detailed the steps which reinforce the organizational learning essential to the transformation process, which promote the appropriate coping with the challenges that naturally tend to block this type of enterprise.

“Man skulle ju inte få för sig att söka upp någon som kan hjälpa en med psyket för då har man ju något fel på huvudet“ Det anses inte vara lika viktigt att lägga fokus på den psykiska rehabiliteringen under än skada i jämförelse med den fysiska återhämtningen. Trots att många som blir skadade upplever att den psykiska påfrestningen är den som ger störst effekt på individen. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och analysera vilka psykiskt upplevda känslomässiga effekter en fysisk skada kan medföra och hur den skadade i så fall ansåg sig vilja ha hjälp med att hantera dessa känslor. Resultatet av studien visar på att respondenterna upplevde liknande känslor under respektives rehabiliteringsprocess samt att majoriteten av de tillfrågade önskade att de fått hjälp av en psykolog eller mental tränare under denna tid för att underlätta återgången till idrotten. Det som även framkom i resultatet var betydelsen av hur mycket tränaren involverade sig väl under rehabiliteringen.

Abstract:
Atualmente, para obter um melhor desempenho na tomada de decisão, as empresas estão utilizando a informação geográfica, considerada essencial na resolução de problemas, e algumas ferramentas, como o geomarketing, que auxiliam neste processo e minimizam as possibilidades de erros. Mesmo que não utilizem ferramentas computacionais de georreferenciamento, os tomadores de decisão formam uma representação mental da distribuição geográfica de seus clientes e mercados, as quais são utilizadas no processo decisório, principalmente nas empresas cujas decisões estão intimamente relacionadas ao fator geográfico como as que atuam no ramo imobiliário. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi confrontar o modelo mental de profissionais do ramo imobiliário acerca da distribuição geodemográfica dos moradores urbanos de Presidente Prudente/SP com um mapa de distribuição, construído a partir do geomarketing, utilizando dados oficiais de escolaridade, renda e local de residência e verificar se existem fatores que expliquem diferenças entre essas representações mentais. Esta pesquisa teve caráter quantitativo descritivo e foi realizada por entrevistas com profissionais que atuam no ramo imobiliário de Presidente Prudente/SP. O mapa com a distribuição geodemográfica foi confeccionado a partir de dados do IBGE e dos softwares AutoCAD Map e ArcGIS e mediu-se o quanto a representação mental dos entrevistados se assemelha a esse mapa de dados oficiais. Por fim avaliou-se a relação entre esse nível de semelhança ou acerto e variáveis de perfil teoricamente relevantes na formação de modelos mentais, constatando-se que a experiência e a formação do indivíduo têm relação significativa com a precisão dos mapas mentais da população pesquisada.
Nowadays, in order to have a better performance in decision making, companies are using geographic information, considered essential in problem solution, as well as some tools, such as geomarketing, which can help in this process and minimize error possibilities. Even if they do not use georreferencing computational tools, the decision makers form a mental representation of the geographic distribution of their clients and markets, which are used in the decision process, especially in companies where decisions are intimately related to the geographic factor, such as real estate agencies. Considering this, the objective of this study was to confront the mental model of real estate agents concerning the geodemographic distribution of the urban population of the city of Presidente Prudente Sao Paulo State (Brazil) and a distribution map, elaborated through geomarketing, using official data about education background, income and place of residence, in order to verify if there are any factors that explain the differences of these mental representations. This research had described quantitative approach and was performed through interviews with professionals that work in the area of real estate agencies in the city of Presidente Prudente/SP. The map with the geodemographic distribution was elaborated using data from IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and the software AutoCAD Map and ArcGIS in order to measure how much of the mental representations of the interviewees and this official data map are alike. Finally, the relation between this level of similitude or correction and the profile variables theoretically relevant in the formation of mental models was analyzed. It was verified that the individual experience and level of instruction have significant relation with the precision of the mental maps of the researched population.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi levantar aspectos da metodologia de design para a sustentabilidade; primeiramente, difundindo os conceitos do pensamento sistêmico, alinhavando-os numa estrutura que serviu de base teórica para a construção metodológica, promovendo uma compreensão mais profunda desses conceitos e provocando uma mudança de paradigmas. Neste argumento, a concepção do objeto (ideias, serviços, comunicação), pode saltar da materialidade realística para um nível da cultura transmaterial, ou seja, na concepção dos bens intangíveis . Numa segunda etapa, um questionário foi aplicado, com o objetivo de levantar o alcance de conhecimento dos entrevistados acerca dos elementos que compõem o meio ambiente, tanto natural, como construído. As amostras foram coletadas por meio de protocolo aplicado em dois momentos: (1) No 1º. Simpósio Paulista de Pesquisa e Pós Graduação em Design e; (2) em sala de aula, aos alunos do curso de design, grupo no qual se desenvolveu Estudo de Campo, onde foi observada a potencialidade das propostas abordadas nesta dissertação e na aplicação dos mapas mentais como metodologia de design para a sustentabilidade, assumindo o papel de junção transdisciplinar. A pesquisa resultou na comprovação de que os estudantes e profissionais ligados à área do design não percebem os ambientes construídos pelo homem como parte integrante do meio ambiente. Ou seja, o meio ambiente natural (florestas, águas, animais, solo, terra) é percebido facilmente como elementos indissociáveis da vida terrestre, enquanto que o homem, o índio, planetas, favelas, cidades, não são percebidas pela maioria. Isso prova que o homem ainda está caracterizado como um ser superior ou fora do meio ambiente, repetindo um comportamento do passado. Diante deste cenário, foram trabalhados no Estudo de Campo conceitos do pensamento sistêmico, do desenvolvimento...
The aim of this study was to identify aspects of desing methodology for sustainability, primarily by spreading the concepts of systems thinking which serve as a theoretical basis for the construction methodology, which promoted a deeper undestanding or these concepts and create a paradigm shift. Accordingly, the object conception (ideas, services, communication) can leap of materiality realistic, to a level of culture transmaterial, the design of intangibles. In a second step, a questionnaire was developed with the goal of raising awareness of the scope of the interviewees, some of the elements that make up the environment, both natural and constructed. Samples were collected using a protocol implemented in two phases: (1) 1º Paulista Symposium of Research and Graduate and Design, (2) in the classroom, the group which also yielded a field study where we observed the potential of the proposals discussed in this essay and application of Mental Maps as transdiciplinary juncton and method of design for sustainability. The qualitative research resulted in evidence that students and professionals involved in the design area, do not realize the man-built environments as part or the environment. That is, the natural environment (forests, water, animals, soil, land) is easily perceived as inseparable elements of life on earth, while the man, the Indian, planets, slums, cities, are not perceived by the majority. Proving that that the concepts are still characterized by the image of man as a superior being, or out of the environment. Repeating a behavior of the past. In this setting, were worked in Field Study, concepts of systems thinking, sustainability and concepts that result in techniques as tools for achieving sustainability of the planet.

This study intends to contribute to a process of reflection on mental health care and had as objectives a) to examine the effect of the territory on the opportunities of social inclusion and promotion of citizenship in mental health services; B) apprehend the social mechanisms that influence this effect, reducing or increasing the quality of these opportunities. The study was based on the analysis of the role of the territory in the processes of inclusion and psychosocial rehabilitation. It contains a discussion about psychiatric reform and de-institutionalization, accomplished in three stages: the first, on the importance of the territory for the mental health network services, the second comprised the critique of the concepts of psychosocial rehabilitation, social reinsertion and social inclusion / exclusion, and the third, which sought to show the multiple dimensions of the notion of territory, beyond the geographical aspect. A theoretical-methodological discussion was elaborated focusing on the strategy to use maps and, more specifically, care maps on the research. Field research was also carried out in order to understand the relationship between territory and mental health services. This research involved the follow-up of two subjects who are users of this service network. The analysis of the data collected was based on Saraceno's propositions. It was possible to observe that the territory is an important factor in the process of citizenship construction and, therefore, in mental health care. We found, however, that the potential of utilization of the territory by the services of the Network of Psychosocial Care can be better explored. Finally, we conclude that in mental health care, it is important to consider the social, historical and political aspects involved in this process
O presente trabalho pretende contribuir para um processo de reflexão sobre os cuidados na saúde mental e teve como objetivos a) examinar o efeito do território sobre as oportunidades de inclusão social e promoção da cidadania em serviços de saúde mental; b) apreender os mecanismos sociais que influenciam esse efeito, reduzindo ou aumentando a qualidade dessas oportunidades. O estudo foi fundamentado na análise do papel do território nos processos de inclusão e reabilitação psicossocial. Contém uma discussão acerca da reforma psiquiátrica e da desinstitucionalização, realizada em três etapas: a primeira, sobre a importância do território para os serviços da rede de saúde mental, a segunda compreendeu a crítica dos conceitos de reabilitação psicossocial, reinserção social e inclusão/exclusão social, e a terceira, que procurou mostrar as múltiplas dimensões da noção de território. Foi elaborada uma discussão teórico-metodológica com foco na estratégia de utilizar na pesquisa mapas e, mais especificamente, mapas de cuidado. Também foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica com o intuito de entender a relação entre território e serviços de saúde mental. Essa pesquisa envolveu o acompanhamento de dois sujeitos que são usuários da rede de atenção psicossocial. Tal acompanhamento se deu de duas formas: i) pelo movimento itinerante do pesquisador acompanhando os itinerários dos sujeitos no território, registrado no diário da pesquisadora; ii) pela produção do diário de bordo dos sujeitos da pesquisa com seus registros sobre o território. A análise dos dados colhidos foi fundamentada nas proposições de Saraceno. Foi possível observar que o território é um fator importante no processo de construção da cidadania e, portanto, no cuidado em saúde mental. Constatamos, no entanto, que o potencial de utilização do território pelos serviços da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial pode ser melhor explorado.

Abstract:
There can be little dispute that todayâ s society makes extensive use of mass media. Movies, television, and radio are far more prominent today than ten years ago, both locally and globally. We rely on these forms of communication for news and information and entertainment and recreation. New technologies increase our access and our dependence on mass media. In fact, in the U.S. the average person spends 40 percent of their time attending to television at some level (Adams, 1992). Adams then goes on to say that culture and television are clearly involved in reciprocal relations: television affects culture, but culture also affects television (Adams, 1992). It should come as no surprise, therefore, that generational differences in recreation are far more prominent today than they were twenty years ago. Indeed, we are a passive society dependent upon technology and the creativity of others for pleasure. The Internet and television of today have replaced the bicycle and board games of yesterday in terms of babysitting the young for hours on end. Almost all major types of entertainment come from the viewing of some sort of screen or monitor, with children spending vast amounts of time engaging in these passive activities. By the age of sixteen, a contemporary child has probably spent more time watching television than he/she has attending school or doing chores. However, entertainment is only one use for mass media. For example, the term â Information Ageâ refers to much more than recreation. Large quantities of information can be acquired through these forms of transmission. Unfortunately, false representations are sometimes the goal of those who produce these data media. In addition to the deliberate distortion of truths, those who consume mass media obtain many falsities inadvertently. A perfect example of this is stereotyping. All too often, oneâ s only exposure to certain regions and/or peoples is obtained through television and movies. Instead of becoming familiar with specific facts about cultures, conclusions are drawn based upon viewing and hearing popular culture material. Stereotypes of cultural groups create myths about their respective geographic regions and vice-versa. We are well aware of these myths (for example, the idea that all Southerners are dumb) but what is their link to place perception? How are mental constructs of regions related to cultural stereotypes? How have popular culture and mass media affected stereotypes?

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with criminal defendants who become psychiatrically hospitalised as the outcome of their court proceedings. There are four routes whereby criminal defendants can become hospitalised in New Zealand. These are to be found not guilty by reason of insanity, to found to be under disability, to be found guilty and mentally disordered and for charges to be dropped and proceedings initiated under the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act, 1992. The background to each of these options is explored, with an emphasis on the insanity defence, and the empirical literature reviewed. There are some theoretical contradictions in whether these legal provisions are therapeutic or punitive. The aim of the current study was to describe criminal defendants who enter the mental health system and become psychiatrically hospitalised via the Court Liaison Service. The Court Liaison Service is a part of the Regional Forensic Psychiatric Service. As part of this service, a nurse screens criminal defendants at court for indications that mental health intervention may be warranted. A sample of defendants, who were seen by the Court Liaison Service at Christchurch, is described. Of these defendants some receive a full psychiatric evaluation and a report is prepared for the courts. The characteristics of those who receive a report are compared with those who do not receive a report. Defendants, who are hospitalised as an outcome of their court proceedings, are compared with those who are not. The findings are consistent with international research, in that most defendants were male, and socially disadvantaged in a number of ways. The mental status screening assessment was a useful discriminator between those who received a report and those who did not, and between defendants who were hospitalised and those that were not. Most defendants who were hospitalised showed clear signs of psychotic processes. Defendants who received a report but who were not hospitalised are particularly vulnerable in terms of their mental health needs. This group showed more evidence of depression, and was rated to be of higher suicide risk. They tended to have psychopathic traits, and were more frequently referred because of concerns about dangerousness. A considerable proportion of all defendants have difficulties with substance abuse. Report and hospitalisation status could be effectively predicted, using information collected at the time of the Court Liaison screening. For example, using diagnosis and mental status data as predictor variables, there was 86% correct classification of cases as hospitalised or not. In conclusion, it is argued that the insanity defence serves little current pragmatic use. Revision is recommended in the current admission criteria to psychiatric hospitals for criminal defendants, with an emphasis on effective treatment programmes. The victim's perspective is not frequently considered in deliberations about mentally disordered offenders, and this is seen as important. Finally, the Court Liaison Service serves an extremely valuable function at the interface between the criminal justice and mental health systems in New Zealand.

Esta dissertação visa discutir as expressões de sofrimento das classes populares, que emergem como queixas inespecíficas que se apresentam nos serviços de saúde, como uma importante demanda de atenção. Essa discussão se faz por meio de três principais eixos: a organização dos serviços / práticas de atenção básica e políticas de saúde em torno desse tipo de manifestação de sofrimento no Brasil, considerada, geralmente, como transtornos mentais de menor gravidade; uma revisão bibliográfica dos estudos epidemiológicos a respeito dos transtornos mentais comuns, e uma revisão bibliográfica a respeito da representação de perturbação nas classes populares, o código do nervoso, principalmente na literatura brasileira. A partir dos três eixos de discussão citados, considera-se a urgência de implementação de práticas e políticas de atenção à clientela das classes populares que apresenta este tipo de sofrimento, em alto nível de prevalência, cujos transtornos são considerados menos graves, mas que, no entanto, causam considerável sofrimento e prejuízo de diversas ordens para a vida dos sujeitos. O trabalho chama especial atenção para que a questão de que a implementação de práticas e políticas de saúde e saúde mental direcionadas à clientela portadora de transtornos mentais comuns ou de problema de nervos exige uma consideração adequada das diferenças culturais entre profissionais e clientela, e da necessidade de ações intersetoriais de forma integrada com outras políticas sociais.

A Educação Básica é responsável pela formação escolar do indivíduo durante onze anos, no mínimo. Ao longo desse processo, o estudante tem contato com o conhecimento científico provindo das diversas disciplinas que fazem parte do currículo da escola. Cada uma dessas disciplinas possui seus objetivos e contribuições para a aprendizagem do aluno e que o ajudam a compreender os contextos que interferem na organização da realidade, seja na perspectiva das relações sociais, culturais, políticas, ambientais-naturais etc. Dentre essas disciplinas, destacamos a presença da Geografia como conhecimento necessário para a formação intelectual do indivíduo. Essa ciência tem a responsabilidade de desenvolver uma leitura espacial dos inúmeros contextos que interferem na produção da sociedade, fato que caracteriza a própria Geografia e, portanto, a diferencia das demais áreas do saber. Nesse sentido, um estudante que teve contato com o conhecimento específico da Geografia, durante a Educação Básica, deve ser capaz de interpretar os elementos do cotidiano, da realidade, sob a perspectiva espacial - o que...
Basic Education is responsible for the school training of an individual for at least eleven years. Throughout this process, the student has contact with the scientific knowledge coming from various subjects which are part of the school curriculum. Each of these subjects has their objectives and contributions to the student learning which help them understand the contexts which influence in the organization of the reality, whether from the perspective of social, cultural, political, natural-environmental, etc. Among these subjects, we highlight the presence of geography as knowledge necessary for the intellectual training of the individual. This science has the responsibility to develop a spatial reading of the many contexts that influence the production of society, a fact... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Abstract:
As políticas atuais no campo da saúde mental estabelecem o atendimento ao sujeito em sofrimento mental preferencialmente nos serviços de assistência extra-hospitalar, em conformidade com o progressivo encerramento do modelo manicomial. Pesquisas recentes investigam esse contexto que tem como protagonistas o governo, sociedade, familiares e o sujeito em sofrimento mental. O sofrimento mental causa um impacto significativo na vida das pessoas. Os sujeitos sofrem pelos sintomas, por estarem incapacitados de participar de atividades de trabalho e lazer, por discriminação, por terem dificuldades para assumirem suas responsabilidades na vida, temendo ser um peso para outros. Os homens podem sofrer com essa situação de forma diferenciada das mulheres, uma vez que apresentam um encargo social e moral diferente. A dimensão masculina está estruturada na relação com o trabalho e a virilidade, a provisão financeira e a atitude protetora para com os membros da família. A situação de internação de homens jovens interfere nos seus planos de vida, no momento em que eles estão em meio a projetos de estudo, profissão, constituição de suas próprias famílias. Os cuidadores familiares também são acometidos em seus projetos de vida, pois cuidar de uma pessoa em sofrimento mental pode trazer satisfação como também uma carga extra de atividades, levando à necessidade de reorganizar-se em função do familiar doente. Na compreensão desse contexto, estabeleceu-se como objetivo geral deste estudo, conhecer a situação de vida e de cuidado familiar envolvendo jovens em internação psiquiátrica, considerando o momento anterior, o da internação e o pós-internação, através do discurso dos jovens e dos cuidadores familiares, no que diz respeito à compreensão sobre o sofrimento mental, a organização da rotina familiar, o relacionamento entre as pessoas e as concepções dos jovens e os cuidadores familiares sobre o sofrimento mental. Para isso realizaram-se três estudos de casos, localizados a partir de contato prévio com um hospital psiquiátrico do município. Os casos foram selecionados de acordo com os seguintes critérios: a) para os jovens: pessoas do sexo masculino passando pela primeira internação psiquiátrica, ou no caso de não ter sido a primeira, pelas primeiras internações; idade de no máximo 40 anos; diagnóstico principal em transtorno mental e comportamental. b) para os cuidadores familiares: familiares cuidadores convivendo com os pacientes antes e depois da internação, apresentando-se em condições de responder as perguntas e relatar suas situações de vida. Foram realizadas entrevistas, conversas informais, anotações em diário de campo, como também consultas a documentos. A análise qualitativa permitiu a formação de categorias centrais que apontaram uma compreensão sobre: identificação e causas do sofrimento mental; o momento da crise à hospitalização; internação e o período pós-alta (cotidiano, consultas médicas e tratamento). O material permitiu apontar para: a coexistência de diversas concepções sobre o Resumo sofrimento mental, o tratamento feito predominantemente com medicação, a sobrecarga dos cuidadores familiares e a presença de sintomas físicos e emocionais relacionados a ela, a espiritualidade e redes sociais como fatores de proteção à sobrecarga, a relevância dos relacionamentos familiares conflituosos para a internação hospitalar, incorporação dos homens jovens aos serviços de saúde mental por meio do tratamento medicamentoso, a necessidade de articular os serviços de assistência em saúde mental e as famílias, como também as redes de suporte social, como forma de acompanhálos nessas situações que requerem longo tempo de tratamento.
The current public policies of mental health in Brazil set the attendance of the person with mental disorder preferably in the extra hospital services. In conformity with that, they also set the progressive extinction of the asylum care model. Recent researches point out this context and its protagonists: the government, the society, the family members, and the person with mental disorder. The mental disorder episode causes a significant impact in people\'s lives. They suffer from the symptoms and also because they get unable to work and have leisure activities, from discrimination, having difficulties to assume life responsibilities and fearing being heavy to others. Men can suffer from this situation in a different way women can, once they have a different social and moral charge. The male dimension is related to work, virility, family financial support and protective attitude towards its family members. The young men psychiatric hospitalization situation interferes in the men\'s lives plans, in a moment they are in the middle of projects such as studies, career, constitution of their own families. The family caregivers (typically closer relatives) are also affected in their lives projects. Taking care of a person with mental disorder can bring satisfaction but also an extra load of activities for life. This situation leads to a need of reorganization towards the sick person. From this perspective the main objective of this research is to know the life situation and the family care involving young men in psychiatric hospitalization, considering the moment before, the hospitalization moment, and after psychiatric hospitalization through the informal family caregiver and the young men with mental disorder discourse, in what refers to the comprehension of the mental disorder, the organization of the family routine, the relationship among the family members, and the family caregiver\'s and young men\'s conceptions about the mental disorder. In the following step three cases studies were located from a previous contact with a psychiatric hospital in town, according to the following criteria: a) for the young man: the first hospitalizations in the psychiatric hospital; age under 40 years old; the main diagnosis in mental and behavior disorder; for the family caregiver: lived with the patients before and after the hospitalization, being in condition to answer the interviews and relate their life situations. There were interviews, informal talks, writings in the field diary, and documents consulting in this study. The qualitative analysis allowed the main categories\' formation that pointed out to: a coexistence of different conceptions of mental disorder; the treatment made mainly by medication; the family caregiver\'s burden; the presence of physical and emotional symptoms due to emotional burden; spirituality and social support net as protection factors for burden; the conflicted familiar relationship relevance driving to psychiatric hospitalization; the attendance of the young men with mental disorder in the public health services mainly by medicine; the necessity to articulate the public health services, and also the social support net as a way to attend them in these situations that asks for long term treatment.

Abstract:

The subjects were 130 male prisoners in Swedish jails were examined by SCID and the diagnoses given in terms of DSM-IV. The most common mental disorder was drug abuse. On Axis II several personality disorders were diagnosed. Personality assessments were made by KSP. High scores were mainly found for e.g. impulsiveness, sensation seeking, aggression and low scores in socialisation.

MAO assays were performed in 99 male criminal offenders and in 60 non-criminal volunteers. Offenders had lower MAO activity than controls also with the confounding factor smoking under control. It is proposed that platelet MAO is linked to personality traits, which can predispose for criminality.

For testing the existence of combinations of vulnerability factors, a configuration frequency analysis (CFA) was used. The criteria which formed the basis for the subgrouping were; MAO activity below or above –0.5 SD of the mean (L and H), the presence or absence of an Axis I disorder (= drug abuse) (Y/N), the presence or absence of an Axis II disorder (Y/N), or the presence or absence of an Axis I and II disorder (Y/N). In this way eight subgroups were formed. Two significant "types" were found among the criminals: One was characterised by low platelet MAO activity, Cluster B personality diagnosis as well as Drug Abuse Disorder diagnosis (LYY); and the other by a pattern of normal platelet MAO activity, no Cluster B personality disorder, and no Drug Disorder diagnosis (HNN). Also two "antitypes", occurring less frequent than expected, were identified; LYN and LNY. Thus, the aggregation of certain risk factors in the same individual has been shown to contribute to the development of criminal behaviour.

The subgroups HNN, LYN, LNY and LYY were then analysed for a variety of criminological factors. There was a difference in mean age between the subgroups, the HNN being lowest. Economical crimes were more common at an early criminal debut and crimes involving violence at an adult debut. The HNN subgroup had a lower number of crimes and times spent in jail than the other subgroups. More than 50% of the clients in all groups had previously been sentenced to Reformatory.

The Military Police of Amazonas is present in all municipalities of the state, and would be no different in the city of Manaus. Public safety is an important part of society. In Manaus, the structure of that public safety has been undergoing constant change, we want to know what you think of the military police who are directly involved in this process, especially female officers who are the focus of research. A police officer is in the neighborhood of the reference public safety. Knowing the neighborhood is to realize space through the people who work and reside in place. We seek in this paper reflect the categories, place and perception, taking as starting point the view that the female police officer has over your work environment, and how it deals with violence and fear generated by insecurity. We adopt phenomenology as a methodological approach being used, open interviews to characterize the vision of the military police. From there, we made mental maps about the violence experienced by military police within the city, his involvement with the place. The study seeks to understand how the police officer perceives the city taking as reference the crime rates. The ratio of military police to the place requires new look at issues around violence.
A Polícia Militar do Amazonas está presente em todos os municípios do estado, e não seria diferente na cidade de Manaus. A segurança pública é uma parte importante da sociedade. Em Manaus, a estrutura dessa segurança pública vem passando por mudanças constantes, procuramos saber o que acham os policiais militares que estão envolvidos diretamente neste processo, principalmente as policiais femininas que são o foco da pesquisa. A policial militar é, dentro do bairro, o referencial de segurança pública. Conhecer o bairro é perceber o espaço através das pessoas que trabalham e residem no lugar. Buscamos neste texto refletir sobre as categorias, lugar e percepção, tomando como ponto de partida a visão que a policial militar feminina tem sobre o seu ambiente de trabalho, e como a mesma lida com a violência e o medo gerado pela insegurança. Adotamos a fenomenologia como abordagem metodológica, sendo utilizadas entrevistas abertas, para caracterizar a visão da policial militar. A partir daí, foram confeccionados mapas mentais a respeito da violência presenciada pela policial militar dentro da cidade, seu envolvimento com o lugar. O estudo busca compreender como a policial militar percebe a cidade de Manaus, tomando como referência os índices de criminalidade. A relação da mesma com o lugar requer novo olhar para problemática em torno da violência.

Abstract:
Os mapas conceituais são organizadores gráficos que favorecem a descrição explícita de relações conceituais por causa da necessidade de elaborá-los a partir de proposições contendo um termo de ligação. O desafio de obter mapas conceituais elaborados pelos alunos que sejam correlacionáveis com parte dos seus modelos mentais é um obstáculo que merece mais investigações. Dois aspectos relevantes podem ser usualmente negligenciados por parte dos docentes que usam os mapas conceituais em sala de aula: (i) a necessidade de treinar os alunos na técnica de mapeamento conceitual e (ii) a importância de se definir como os mapas conceituais serão solicitados aos alunos. O descuido com esses fatores resulta em mapas conceituais superficiais e com baixa clareza semântica, que não refletem a organização conceitual que está contida na estrutura cognitiva do mapeador. Nesse trabalho investigamos o uso de mapas conceituais como ferramenta de avaliação em um dos momentos da disciplina ACH 0131 Ciências da Natureza oferecida a alunos ingressantes na graduação, a fim de verificar o conhecimento conceitual dos alunos sobre Astronomia sob a perspectiva do desenvolvimento tecnológico e científico. Dois mapas conceituais foram considerados nessa pesquisa: um construído uma semana antes da prova e que poderia ser usado como material de consulta (MC-PREP) e outro que era parte da avaliação e deveria ser construído no dia da prova (MC-AVAL). Para esse trabalho propusemos dois estudos complementares para avaliação do efeito da elaboração do MC-PREP sobre as características estruturais e semânticas do MC-AVAL (Estudo I) e avaliação da relação entre características estruturais e semânticas do MC-AVAL e o entendimento conceitual dos alunos sobre a Astronomia no contexto do surgimento da Ciência Moderna e do avanço científico-tecnológico (Estudo II). Como metodologia, utilizamos análises que consideram os mapas sobre os níveis de conceito, proposição e rede proposicional, oferecendo várias perspectivas sob as quais os mapas conceituais elaborados pelos alunos podem ser avaliados. No Estudo I foi possível verificar que a elaboração do MC-PREP não influenciou nas características estruturais do MC-AVAL, mas influenciou nas características semânticas, de modo que os alunos construíram mais proposições apropriadas e mostraram uma baixa incidência de fuga à pergunta focal. No Estudo II verificamos que os fatores dos MC-AVAL que são positivamente correlacionáveis com o entendimento conceitual dos alunos sobre o tema são, principalmente, a quantidade de proposições apropriadas e a escolha de conceitos mais complexos para compor o mapa de prova. Concluímos com esse trabalho que para alunos bem treinados na técnica de mapeamento conceitual a elaboração de um mapa conceitual preparatório não influencia nas características do mapa de prova mesmo estando próximos da etapa de treinamento. Isso foi explicado pelas características restritivas da demanda e pela proficiência dos alunos. Sob os aspectos semânticos constatamos que a preparação dos alunos influenciou positivamente nas características do MC-AVAL e também que os mapas obtidos eram correlacionáveis com o conhecimento declarativo dos alunos, podendo ser utilizados como ferramentas para avaliação da aprendizagem.
Concept maps are graphic organizers that favor the explicit description of conceptual relationships due to the need to prepare them from propositions that containing a binding term. The challenge to obtain concept maps prepared by students that are correlated with part of their mental models is an obstacle that deserves further investigation. Two important aspects can usually be neglected by teachers who use concept maps in the classroom: (i) the need to train students in the concept mapping technique, and (ii) the importance of to define how the concept maps are requested to students. These two aspects of assessment task with the use of maps generated in students working memory cognitive loads that need to be managed. The neglect of these factors results in superficial concept maps and low semantic clarity that do not reflect the conceptual organization that is contained in cognitive structure of mapper. In this work we investigate the use of concept maps as an assessment tool in one of the moments of discipline ACH 0131 Natural Science offered to first year undergraduate students, in order to verify the conceptual knowledge of students about astronomy from the perspective of technological and scientific development. Two concept maps were considered in this study: the first done one week before the test and that could be used as reference material (CM-PREP) and other that was a part of the test and should be done on day test (CM-EVAL). For this work we proposed two complementary studies to evaluate the effect of the preparation of CM-PREP about the structural and semantic features of the CM-EVAL (Study I) and evaluation of the relationship between structural and semantic features of the CM-EVAL and conceptual understanding of students about astronomy in the context of the emergence of modern science and scientific-technological development (Study II). As methodology were used the analyzes that consider the maps on the levels of concept, proposition and propositional network, offering several perspectives under which the conceptual maps prepared by students can be evaluated. The Study I showed that the development of CM-PREP did not influence the structural features of the CM-EVAL, but influenced the semantic features, so the students used more appropriate propositions and showed a low incidence of escape of the focal question. The Study II verified that the factors of CM-EVAL that are positively correlated with the conceptual understanding of students on the subject are mainly the amount of appropriate propositions and the choice of more complex concepts to compose the test map. We conclude with this work that for well trained students in the concept mapping technique the elaboration of a preparatory concept map does not influence the test map structural features even being near to the training stage. This was explained by the restrictive characteristics of demand and the proficiency of students. On the semantic aspects we observed that the preparation of the students had a positive effect on CM-EVAL features and also that the obtained maps were correlated with the declarative knowledge of the students and can be used as tools for learning assessment.
