Full textUnderstanding individual adaptation to Information Systems (IS) has received relatively little attention in IS research. For furthering these issues, a multi-paper dissertation is adopted and studies distinct aspects of user interaction with IT related with adaptation. Thus, in order to better understand how system users adapt to IT disruptions this study examine (1) how system users who become disrupted by IS that provide them with too much information interact with these systems, (2) the influence of espoused cultural values (Srite and Karahanna 2006) on user coping strategies of adaptation to IS, and (3) middle managers responses to the implementation of disruptive IT in public administration. These dissertation studies together help improve our knowledge on individual adaptive responses to IT disruptions

A dificuldade para visualizar o retorno que os investimentos na área social podem gerar para a sociedade e para a economia do país faz com que, tanto as empresas como o governo, não tenham a real dimensão das consequências destes investimentos ao longo do tempo. Dentro deste contexto, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo desenvolver um modelo computacional do Balanço Social Sistêmico Dinâmico, a fim de visualizar o efeito multiplicador gerado pelos investimentos do governo brasileiro na área social. O método de pesquisa adotado foi a Design Science Research que caracteriza-se pela construção e avaliação de artefatos desenvolvidos com o propósito de solucionar um problema. Na primeira fase da pesquisa, definiu-se a problemática envolvida neste estudo e elaborou-se o referencial teórico, onde os principais temas para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foram abordados. Na segunda, selecionou-se as variáveis que foram utilizadas para a construção de uma estrutura sistêmica. Nesta fase também desenvolveu-se um modelo computacional piloto e o modelo computacional do Balanço Social Sistêmico Dinâmico. Na terceira e última fase, criou-se e simulou-se alguns cenários. Os resultados gerados pelos cenários foram utilizados para o cálculo do efeito multiplicador, que leva em consideração a evolução do PIB e dos gastos com saúde e educação. A partir do cálculo do efeito multiplicador concluiu-se que investimentos governamentais na área social geram impactos positivos sobre a economia do país. Onde o investimento em educação foi o que apresentou maior impacto sobre o PIB. No entanto, deve-se fazer uma combinação entre os investimentos em saúde, educação e infraestrutura tendo em vista a interdependência dos investimentos.
The difficulty to visualize the return that the investment in the social area can generate for society and the country economy, consequently makes both companies and the government, do not have the actual magnitude of the consequences of these investments over time. Within this context, the present research aimed to develop a computational model of a Systemic Dynamic Social Balance to view the multiplier effect generated by the investments of the Brazilian government in the social area. The research method adopted was the Design Science Research that is characterized by the construction and evaluation of artifacts developed for the purpose of to solve a problem. In the first phase of the research, was defined the problems involved in this study and drafted up the theoretical framework where the main themes for the development of the research were discussed. In the second, was selected the variables that were used to construct a systemic framework. At this stage was also developed a computational model pilot and computational model of a Systemic Dynamic Social Balance. In the third and final phase was created and simulated up some scenarios. The results generated by the scenarios were used to calculate the multiplier effect, which considers the evolution of GDP and costs on health and education. Whereof the calculation of the multiplier effect it was concluded that governmental social investments generate positive impacts on the economy of the country. Investment in education showed the greatest impact on GDP. However, one must make a combination between investments in health, education and infrastructure in view of the interdependence between investments.

Full textLe Nunavut connait la plus haute incidence d'insécurité alimentaire au Canada, où 56% des foyers ont de la difficulté à obtenir une quantité suffisante de nourriture. Ce pourcentage dépasse largement la moyenne canadienne. L'insécurité alimentaire se manifeste lorsque le système alimentaire est stressé, provoquant ainsi un accès et une disponibilité inadéquate à de la nourriture de qualité. Le système alimentaire des Inuit, qui se compose de nourriture traditionnelle et d'aliments importés, est affecté par des changements d'ordre économique, social, culturel, et environnemental notamment associé aux changements climatiques. Les femmes Inuit ont été identifiées comme étant particulièrement vulnérables à l'insécurité alimentaire, et donc plus sensibles aux changements climatiques. L'insécurité alimentaire, particulièrement lorsqu'elle est chronique, a des répercussions au niveau de la santé physique, mentale et sociale des femmes Inuit, et ainsi accroît leur susceptibilité aux infections et aux maladies chroniques. Cette recherche améliore la compréhension de la vulnérabilité et la capacité d'adaptation du système alimentaire des femmes Inuit au changement climatique, et ce dans le contexte de stresses socio-économiques. Ce travail identifie et caractérise les facteurs clés qui déterminent la sécurité ou l'insécurité alimentaire chez les femmes Inuit à l'aide d'une méthodologie basée sur l'étude de cas, qui s'inspire d'une approche de recherche participative communautaire (CBRP), et ce en collaboration avec la communauté d'Arviat, Nunavut. Le niveau d'insécurité alimentaire est élevé à Arviat, particulièrement chez les femmes. Diverses méthodes ont été utilisée afin d'obtenir des données qualitatives approfondies, telles que photovoice, entrevues semi-structurées avec des femmes Inuit (n=42) et des informateurs clefs (n=8), groupes de discussions avec des femmes (n=7), des personnes âgées (n=3) et des chasseurs (n=2), ainsi que l'observation participative. Les résultats démontrent que le système alimentaire des femmes Inuit est sensible aux risques et aux changements reliés au climat. Par contre, le changement climatique n'a pas été identifié comme un facteur affectant la sécurité alimentaire des femmes actuellement. Les facteurs humains tels que les ressources financières, la capacité à faire un budget, les connaissances au sujet de la nourriture d'épicerie, la diminution de la transmission des savoirs reliés à la nourriture traditionnelle, la réduction de l'éducation traditionnelle, la consommation de tabac et de drogues, les jeux de hasard et le coût de la vie élevé impactent négativement le système alimentaire des femmes Inuit. Malgré tout, un important réseau de partage et le support gouvernemental et local contribuent à renforcir le système alimentaire et la sécurité alimentaire. Les programmes communautaires à vocation éducative sont important afin d'assurer la sécurité alimentaire à long terme.

Full textLao PDR is a landlocked country with low population density, which stands nowadays in a process of regional economic integration, after suffering wars related to decolonization and Cold War during several decades. A very fast economic growth, based on the development of infrastructures of transport and natural resource exploitation, has led to large differentiated impacts on populations and their resource based livelihoods. The concepts of resilience and vulnerability have been used in different disciplines to analyze and manage the dynamics of geographical areas and social groups facing rapid and uncertain changes. Both concepts are used within a variety of frameworks of analysis of society-environment relationships. While all reviewed frameworks take into account multiple scales of analysis in order to tackle the complexity of the studied phenomena, they do not, however, assess vulnerability and resilience at the same scales. In particular, some frameworks are actor-centered, while others are system-centered. The scale and limit of the socioecological system whose resilience or vulnerability is assessed depend on the issues that the authors want to tackle. Before such an assessment, it seems necessary to identify the issues of resilience and vulnerability that we want to address. This task should not be taken over by scientists alone, but by other stakeholders as well. The question is: how can we incorporate multiple viewpoints in the system design? For this, our framework considers a socioecological system both as a specific representation of the environment offered by a stakeholder, and as a set of elements contributing to one function. This system is organized in a hierarchy of levels of observation, in which each level corresponds to an intermediary function. We developed and tested a process to collect system representations of the environment from various stakeholders, that is to say, the way they structure a socioecological system that makes sense to them, according to the purposes that they assign to their environment. This approach has been tested in the catchment area of the Nam Lik river, Fuang district, Vientiane province, where the Nam Lik 1-2 hydropower dam was built in 2010. A series of workshops were held with residents of the study area, employees of local government and Lao National University teachers. At the earliest stage of a vulnerability or resilience assessment in the field study, this thesis proposes a reflection on the possible framings of these concepts, as well as methods to collect them from multiple stakeholders

Full textThe human resource management department has been not to act in a purely bureaucratic way anymore, and then it is considered as a strategic unit in organizations. Therefore, there is a growing need for studies related to action management on the human resources, what should propose new theoretical debates, models and approaches to the management practices. In this sense, the present work points out to develop a performance evaluation model to support the department of development of people of the Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul - UFFS, through Methodology Multiple-criteria Decision Analysis – Constructivist. This case study, exploratory and descriptive, was developed with the help of a couple intervention tools, the ProKnow-C, through it was held: (i) the selection of relevant scientific papers on the subject under study; (ii) the bibliometric analysis, being extracted the most relevant articles; authors; journals and keywords on the topic; and, (iii) the systemic analysis of the articles allows to build knowledge in Researcher and identify gaps in the literature of the performance evaluation focused on the development of people in public educational institutions. Using the second policy instrument, the MCDA-C, it was possible to build the organizational performance assessment model, through direct interaction with the decision maker what makes possible describe the objectives; goals; the desirable and the undesirable aspects; problems and concerns on this issue in relation to the context of this inquire; organizing them into a structure that enabled perform the measurement, overall assessment of the current situation and propose improvement actions. The main results of the systemic analysis were: (i) no work identifies the decision-maker at work and take into account for the full construction of the model; (ii) less than 4% of the work recognize that the model is valid only for context in analysis; (iii) all the articles don’t meet the theory of measurement; (iv) only 3 of 29 analyzed articles realize the integration of the criteria for an overall assessment of performance; (v) no work shows improvement actions. The main results of the construction of performance evaluation model were: (i) building of 75 performance indicators; (ii) allowed to obtain the overall performance evaluation, making it possible to visualize weaknesses and strengths of management performance, which is currently 55 points; (iii) allows one to view the impact of actions on the overall performance; and, (iv) made it possible to list 13 actions to promote improvement, so that overall performance leaped from 55 to 79 points. Thus, the study is extremely important for the management of human resources of the UFFS, since: (i) supplies the difficulty of stating that certain result is due to a practice of resource management; (ii) supplies the difficulty of the organization in defining organizational indicators of human resource management that are comparable, before and after interventions; and, (iii) fills a gap in the literature of the studies that consider the uniqueness of the context, taking the decision maker into account for the full construction of the model.

With the rise of social network service, there are many social behaviors. The most popular behaviors are information sharing and following. Users share their ideas and interesting things with their friends on social network sites. Moreover, users select some people to follow and obtain information. The past researchers focused on the evaluation of influence, based on using the social structure to analyze and find the most influential user. Few researches discussed how the propagation took place between users. And I believe that social network is a heterogeneous network, we cannot just classify a user as a specific topic. User are supposed to have multiple roles in the different topics. With the different influential relationship, user’s identity may be active or passive. So, I propose an integrated analysis system, which supports text-based content and find the valuable feature of social network. The research is composed of four parts. First, I define the hierarchical interesting topic structure generated by data related with targeted users. Second, I try to determine the feature of users according to their activities. User may belong to one interesting topic or many interesting topic at the same time. Third, I extract the influential propagation paths for analysis. The last part is that I build TIPAS (Text-based Influence Propagation Analysis System), which provides analyst to analyze influence which caused propagation paths. For easy understanding, I also use the concept of data visualization to display the analysis results.

Full textO trabalho a desenvolver nesta dissertação insere-se num projeto de maior dimensão denominado Sustainable Tourism Crowding (STC), cuja motivação assenta, essencialmente, em dois impactos negativos provocados pela sobrecarga turística que se verifica, nomeadamente, nos bairros históricos de Lisboa. O objetivo desta dissertação é, então, mitigar esses problemas: reduzir a sobrecarga turística dos pontos de interesse mais visitados numa cidade que, além da degradação da experiência turística, causa problemas de sustentabilidade em diversos aspetos (ambiental, social e local). No âmbito desta dissertação, a implementação de um componente de um sistema de recomendação é a solução proposta. Baseia-se num algoritmo multicritério de recomendação de percursos pedonais que minimiza a passagem por locais mais apinhados e maximizam a visita a pontos de interesse mais sustentáveis. Essas rotas serão personalizadas para cada utilizador, pois consideram as suas preferências (por exemplo, tempo, orçamento, nível de esforço físico) e várias restrições retiradas de outros microsserviços que fazem parte da arquitetura do sistema global mencionado acima (por exemplo, condições meteorológicas, níveis de apinhamento, pontos de interesse, níveis de sustentabilidade). Concluímos que é possível desenvolver um microsserviço que recomenda rotas personalizadas e que comunica com outros microsserviços que fazem parte da arquitetura global do sistema mencionada acima. A análise dos dados experimentais do sistema de recomendação, permite-nos concluir que é possível obter uma distribuição mais equilibrada da visita turística, aumentando a visita a pontos de interesse mais sustentáveis e evitando percursos mais apinhados.

This paper extends a system of integrating knowledge contents from multiple sources and types based on dotCMS, and focuses on sharing of knowledge contents from both internal and external social groups. We represent the knowledge contents as knowledge objects (KOs), and classify four types of KOs for items, super items, user pages, and internal social groups (iGroups). All these KOs can be applied in both internal and external social groups. An iGroup provides an environment to gather users that have common interests in which each user can distribute and post KOs for sharing, and can collect KOs from other users. Since each KO is associated with a single URL, it can be easily published to Facebook or Google+. These KOs can be retrieved directly from Facebook or Google+ as well.

The community showed concern about the increasing number of children living and working on the streets within the urban context of Pretoria. This researchwas undertaken to address the needs of these children and to find alternative ways of working with them. A context was created so that their voices could be heard. Ecosystemic principles were initially used, but were not meaningful to the team who worked together. A case study design proved useful in developing and "training" of the team who would be working together, as well as applying ecosystemic principles while making services available to the "street children" and their families in ltumeleng. The research indicated that an ecosystemic approach to family therapy could be used as an alternative to "traditional" forms of family therapy, subject to certain conditions, as stipulated in Chapter Four.

Full textO mercado imobiliário é um indicador importante das economias mundiais e é influenciado pelo ambiente em que opera. Muitos foram os países seriamente afetados pela mais recente crise financeira internacional, incluindo Portugal. Não obstante, este continua a ser uma área de investimento interessante, ainda que, hoje em dia, as cidades possam enfrentar desafios que influenciam a sua habitabilidade sustentável. Por essa razão, parece lógico o desenvolvimento e a aplicação de metodologias que permitam avaliar a sustentabilidade habitacional de uma área urbana. No entanto, limitações metodológicas comuns à maioria das aplicações (e.g. processo de seleção e ponderação dos critérios de avaliação) têm dificultado os progressos alcançados. Assim, a presente dissertação pretende desenvolver um “termómetro” de habitabilidade sustentável que, de forma informada e transparente, permita apoiar a tomada de decisão no mercado imobiliário urbano, através da combinação do uso integrado de técnicas de mapeamento cognitivo e da metodologia Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). As vantagens e as limitações do uso deste sistema integrativo de avaliação serão também analisadas e discutidas.
