Full textO tema principal desta tese é a operacionalização da flexibilidade de manufatura, a partir de duas abordagens: teórica e empírica. A abordagem teórica visa a discussão com base em uma extensa revisão da bibliografia, da flexibilidade de manufatura e a sua operacionalização. No tocante à operacionalização, destaca-se a existência de diversos aspectos considerados indutores, como a tecnologia de processo, métodos de gerenciamento da produção, gerenciamento de recursos humanos, tecnologia de informação, processo de desenvolvimento de produtos e os relacionamentos na cadeia de suprimentos. Dentre esses aspectos, verificou-se a necessidade de aprofundamento na questão que trata dos relacionamentos na cadeia de suprimentos, em especial os relacionamentos produtor- fornecedor. Após o desenvolvimento do referencial teórico sobre os relacionamentos na cadeia de suprimentos, no sentido de apresentar as características gerais e seus efeitos sobre a flexibilidade de manufatura, passou-se a uma análise empírica com o foco no relacionamento produtor- fornecedor. A escolha desse indutor para a condução do estudo empírico deu-se em função da emergência do papel dos fornecedores na definição das estratégias do produtor e da importância das relações entre produtor e fornecedor na criação e desenvolvimento de vantagens competitivas. Além da construção de um referencial teórico - útil para a discussão da operacionalização da flexibilidade de manufatura como fonte de vantagens competitiva e preparação para futuras pesquisas - a tese também atende à demanda por estudos empíricos tão importantes para o avanço das pesquisas sobre o tema. Nesse sentido, buscou- se responder às duas questões de pesquisa: como se caracterizam os relacionamentos produtor-fornecedor quanto aos aspectos de confiança/comprometimento, compartilhamento de informações, desenvolvimento de fornecedores e desenvolvimento conjunto de produtos nas empresas estudadas? E como se dão os impactos dos aspectos de relacionamento produtor-fornecedor sobre a flexibilidade de manufatura e o desempenho da manufatura nas empresas estudadas? O estudo envolveu quatro empresas de manufatura em uma investigação da influência de quatro aspectos de relacionamento produtor-fornecedor - confiança/comprometimento, compartilhamento de informações, desenvolvimento de fornecedores e desenvolvimento conjunto de produtos - sobre três dimensões externas de flexibilidade de manufatura - mix, novos produtos e volume. A análise estendeu-se à observação dos efeitos generalizados dessas relações sobre o desempenho da manufatura dos níveis da flexibilidade de manufatura apresentados pelas empresas estudadas.
The purpose of this dissertation is to study the operationalization of manufacturing flexibility, focusing on aspects of relationships in the supply chain and their impact on manufacturing flexibility. The research involves four manufacturing companies for studying the influence of four aspects of buyer-supplier relationship - trust/commitment, information sharing, supplier development and joint product development - on three external dimensions of manufacturing flexibility - mix, new products and volume. The study also observes the generalized effects of these relationships on manufacturing performance and on the levels of manufacturing flexibility shown by the companies studied. The buyer-supplier relationships are deeply analyzed and their general characteristics and effects on the operationalization of manufacturing flexibility are presented. In addition, the analysis of scope and achievability factors indicated the presence of little explored flexible resources in the companies studied. Finding ways for operationalizing flexibility must be seen as a priority question to obtain competitive advantage in manufacturing systems. This work shows how the relationships between the buyer and supplier can influence several external dimensions of manufacturing flexibility and, consequently, manufacturing performance.

Full textLa introducción de tecnologías interactivas y móviles está produciendo un cambio significativo en la naturaleza de las prácticas educativas. Actualmente, el aprendizaje mediante colaboración se puede dar en situaciones en que secuencias de actividades formales e informales dentro y fuera del aula se combinan e integran de forma coordinada. Esto da lugar a un nuevo tipo de actividades de colaboración orquestadas en entornos mezclados que llamaremos guiones CSCBL (de su acrónimo en inglés). Esta tesis investiga los retos relacionados con diseño de los guiones CSCBL y de la selección apropiada de la tecnología para su puesta en marcha. De este trabajo de investigación se derivan tres contribuciones principales. Primero, se propone un modelo conceptual que combina 4 factores a tener en cuenta en el diseño de guiones CSCBL. Segundo, se proponen un conjunto de soluciones tecnológicas para dar soporte computacional a los diferentes factores del modelo y dar apoyo a la puesta en marcha de guiones CSCBL. Cada una de estas soluciones se evalúa mediante experimentos sintéticos. Finalmente, esta tesis presenta tres experimentos en que se usa el modelo para proponer actividades de colaboración en entornos mezclados y aplicarlas en entornos reales. Estos experimentos han sido evaluados mediante dos estudios múltiples de casos. El análisis cruzado de los resultados de los casos englobados en cada estudio ofrece una evaluación de la utilidad del modelo y de las soluciones tecnológicas adoptadas para su puesta en marcha.

Full textLa autodeterminación nos permite actuar como agentes causales de nuestra propia vida, así como hacer frente a las oportunidades y desafíos que van apareciendo en nuestro contexto. Dado que la instrucción en autodeterminación puede beneficiar a todos los jóvenes, con o sin discapacidad, desentrañar los efectos de las oportunidades que se dan en el contexto en la autodeterminación de estos jóvenes contribuye al conocimiento sobre el desarrollo y la enseñanza de la autodeterminación. El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral reside en explorar el impacto de las oportunidades contextuales, es decir, de la familia y los contextos educativos, en la expresión de la autodeterminación, definida bajo la Teoría de la Agencia Causal, de los jóvenes con y sin discapacidad. En primer lugar, se han adaptado dos cuestionarios para evaluar las características y esenciales de la autodeterminación y las oportunidades proporcionadas en contexto familiar y educativo para actuar de forma autodeterminada. En segundo lugar, se han analizado las propiedades psicométricas de las puntuaciones de una muestra de 620 jóvenes con y sin discapacidad recogidas con dichos instrumentos. Finalmente, la estimación de los parámetros estructurales de un modelo teórico que integra las características esenciales de la autodeterminación y las oportunidades contextuales han confirmado el impacto significativo del contexto en la expresión de la autodeterminación. El trabajo resumido ha dado lugar a los artículos presentados en esta tesis doctoral.
Self-determination has been recognized as a crucial trait to act as the causal agent of one’s life and face and navigate contextual opportunities and challenges. Given that self-determination instruction can benefit all adolescents and young adults having a disability or not, disentangling the effects of environmental opportunities in self-determination expression has the potential to inform self-determination development and instruction. The aim of this doctoral thesis is mainly to explore the impact of contextual opportunities, namely home and educational contexts, on the self-determination expression of young people with and without disabilities, through Causal Agency Theory lens. First, two questionnaires to assess self-determination essential characteristics and opportunities provided at home and in educational settings to engage in self-determined actions were adapted. Second, the scores collected with these instruments were psychometrically analyzed in a sample of 620 youth with and without disabilities. Finally, structural parameters estimation of a theoretical model tested integrating self-determination essential characteristics and contextual opportunities confirmed the significant impact of context in self-determination expression. The summarized work has led to the articles presented in this doctoral thesis.

Full textAutomated driving systems allow to transfer a certain degree of vehicle control from the driver to a vehicle. By assisting, augmenting or even supplementing the driver, automated driving systems have been associated with enormous potential for improving driving safety, comfort, and efficiency - provided that they are used appropriately. Among those systems, conditional automated driving systems are particularly challenging for human-automation interaction: While the driver is no longer required to permanently monitor conditional automated driving systems, he / she is still expected to provide fallback performance of the dynamic driving task after adequate prior notification. Therefore, facilitating appropriate automation trust is a key component for enabling successful cooperation between drivers and conditional automated driving systems. Earlier work indicates that providing drivers with proper information about conditional automated driving systems might be one promising approach to do this. Considering the role of automation trust as a variable in the design of vehicle technology, however, also requires that drivers` automation trust can be viably measured in the first place. Accordingly, the objectives of this thesis were to explore difffferent methods for measuring drivers` automation trust in the context of conditional automated driving as well as the identification, implementation and evaluation of possible approaches for designing drivers` automation trust in conditional automated driving systems. For these purposes, three driving simulator studies with N = 280 participants were conducted. The results indicate that (i) both self-report measures and behavioral measures can be used to assess drivers` automation trust in conditional automated driving systems, (ii) prior familiarization with system limitations can have a lasting effffect on drivers` automation trust in conditional automated driving systems and (iii) particularly information about the processes of conditional automated driving systems might promote drivers` automation trust in these systems. Thus, the present research contributes much needed approaches to both measuring and designing automation trust in the context of conditional automated driving. In addition, the current findings might also be transferred to higher levels of driving automation as well as other domains and applications of automation

Full textLa tesi investiga l'operazionalizzazione del principio di sviluppo sostenibile (SS) nelle aziende sanitarie. La tesi utilizza un approccio multi-metodo per indagare: a) l'interpretazione emergente circa lo SS nel contesto sanitario, b) i fattori di capitale intellettuale (CI) che possono influenzare l'attuazione di progetti di SS, c) l'approccio organizzativo utilizzato per la presa di decisione circa la sostenibilità, e d) le principali pratiche di sostenibilità adottate nel contesto sanitario. Per rispondere alle domande di ricerca, è stata realizzata inizialmente una survey, per il tramite di questionario, la quale è stata rivolta ai Direttori Generali (DG) delle aziende sanitarie italiane, in quanto responsabili della pianificazione strategica aziendale. Successivamente, il caso di studio relativo ad un Servizio Sanitario regionale italiano ha fornito la possibilità di analizzare l’attuazione di un programma di SS nato dalla policy regionale all’interno di queste aziende. Le analisi hanno rivelato che le decisioni in materia di SS all’interno delle aziende sanitarie vengono principalmente prese da strutture organizzative esistenti, combinate in modi informali e occasionali, o da organismi collegiali, al fine di sfruttare diverse competenze. Una minoranza ha indicato invece l’uso di uffici/posizioni aziendali, fattore che non permette la fertilizzazione incrociata tra diverse discipline e potrebbe impedire lo sviluppo di una cultura per lo SS. La costruzione di un modello di CI basato sulla letteratura di riferimento, ha permesso di testare il contributo che questi assets hanno dato alla realizzazione dei progetti di SS. Tra essi, la "ricerca dell’efficienza" è stato il fattore che secondo i DG ha svolto il ruolo più rilevante in questo senso, mentre “competenze e formazione” sono stati percepiti come meno importanti probabilmente a causa dell'incapacità attuale di impostare programmi accademici per le professioni sanitarie basati su quell’ interdisciplinarietà che lo SS richiede. Inoltre, i DG che hanno attribuito alta rilevanza alle tecnologie dell’informazione e avanzate per la realizzazione di progetti di sostenibilità all’interno della propria azienda, sono anche coloro che hanno adottato strategie di SS. I risultati del caso studio hanno mostrato come la cultura dello SS, specialmente per la sostenibilità ambientale, non è stata in grado di svilupparsi a livello operativo, relativo ai professionisti sanitari, in quanto non sono stati coinvolti nel processo di definizione delle priorità strategiche ed i progetti implementati sono risultati di natura frammentaria. Il capitale relazionale è risultato invece rilevante circa l’implementazione di progetti ambientali e clinici. La misurazione delle performance di SS quale componente del capitale strutturale, è risultata piuttosto omogenea e non consolidata, cosi come l’uso di incentivi. Ciò suggerisce che il focus predominante all’efficientamento adottato dalla politica sanitaria nazionale può impedirne lo sviluppo. Lo studio estende la conoscenza circa il ruolo del CI per la pianificazione di SS all’interno delle organizzazioni pubbliche. I limiti dello studio riguardano il basso numero di rispondenti alla survey ed di interviste condotte per il caso studio. Ulteriori ricerche potranno testare il modello di CI sostenibile per le aziende sanitarie qui sviluppato in altri contesti ai fini di supportare la pianificazione strategica, verificando il contributo parziale e totale degli assets individuati allo SS. Inoltre, è necessario approfondire il ruolo delle connessioni tra assets, per individuare quelle combinazioni che contribuiscono / ostacolano l’attuazione dello SS. Tra le implicazioni di policy infine, la costruzione di un dialogo continuo tra istituzioni, direzione aziendale e professionisti sanitari è raccomandata al fine di promuovere una cultura condivisa per lo SS.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as discriminações, exclusões e violências produzidas pelos discursos que constituíram a intervenção e a operacionalização da zona de exclusão de aérea (ZEA) autorizada em 2011 para proteção de civis na Líbia. A análise segue a partir de uma série de fechamentos e limitações contidas na literatura tradicional e dominante sobre a intervenção, os quais impossibilitam uma leitura que dê conta das violências produzidas e legitimadas pelos discursos e práticas da intervenção. À vista disso, a dissertação parte de um entendimento de que os discursos não somente constroem as representações de identidade dos sujeitos, como também criam as condições de possibilidade à realização de determinadas ações. Por isso, no caso da intervenção na Líbia, as diferentes articulações discursivas presentes na literatura acadêmica, nos discursos políticos, na mídia internacional e em documentos oficiais serão analisadas a fim de compreender como a autorização de uma zona de exclusão aérea para fins humanitários pode ser lida a partir de uma ambiguidade constitutiva, uma vez que os mesmos discursos e práticas que possibilitaram e legitimaram ações em prol da vida e da proteção de civis, também autorizaram um conjunto de violências, exclusões e discriminações.
This dissertation aims to analyse the discriminations, exclusions and violences producted by discourses that constituted the intervention and the operationalization of a no-fly zone (NFZ) authorized in 2011 for the protection of civilians in Libya. The analysis follows from a series of closures and limitations contained in the mainstream and dominant literature on the intervention, which preclude a reading that takes account of the violences producted and legitimated by discourses and practices in the Libyan intervention. In view thereof, the dissertation adopts an understanding that discourses not only construct the representation of the subjects identity, but also create the conditions of possibility to the accomplishment of certain actions. Therefore, in the case of the intervention in Libya, the different discursive articulations present in the academic literature, political discourses, international media, and official documents will be analysed in order to understand how the authorization of a no-fly zone for humanitarian purposes can be read as from a constitutive ambiguity since the same speeches and practices that enabled and legitimated actions for life and the protection of civilians also authorized a set of violences, exclusions and discriminations.

Full textHistorically, Robert Merton’s theory of anomie has suffered from harsh criticism on the basis of its weak empirical support and theoretical assumptions. Although, some have made the claim that the failing support is because of inadequate operationalization of Merton’s theory. The purpose of this study is therefore to analyze the operationalization in previous research of Robert Merton’s original theory of anomie, as it was presented in 1938 in Social Structure and Anomie. Firstly, a thorough examination and analysis is conducted on the article Social Structure and Anomie and the theory therein. Secondly, through a systematic review 13 articles that operationalize Merton’s theory were selected and then analyzed based on the core parts of Robert Merton’s paradigm. Results indicate that the culturally defined goals almost exclusively are operationalized as academic and/or economic goals and that the institutionalized means are operationalized in accord with the culturally defined goals. Furthermore, it is found that neither adaptations nor the cultural perspective have any significant place within operationalization.

Este trabalho teve como propósito realizar uma análise da operação do Porto do Rio Grande, através da técnica de Simulação, com o auxílio dosoftwareArena. O estudo foi feito para o terminal público Porto Novo e para os terminais de iniciativa privada do Superporto, os quais são: Bianchini, Bunge Alimentos, Copesul, Petrobrás, Tecon, Tergrasa, Termasa e Trevo Operadora. Nos terminais que possuem mais de um local de atracação, foram efetuadas duas análises: para o sistema íntegro, e para cada berço separadamente. Esta dissertação apresentou ainda como objetivo, comparar os resultados obtidos pela técnica de Teoria de Filas com a técnica de Simulação, as quais são utilizadas em modelagem de sistemas. Para tal, utilizaram-se os resultados fornecidos por Duarte (2007), que em sua dissertação de mestrado, realizou a análise operacional do Porto do Rio Grande, através do método de Teoria de Filas. Primeiramente, foram averiguados os dados de movimentação de navios do porto, durante os anos de 2004, 2005 e 2006, os quais foram fornecidos pela Superintendência do Porto do Rio Grande (SUPRG). Em seguida, analisaram-se os intervalos entre as chegadas de navios, e os tempos de cada atendimento, com intuito de representar estes dados através de uma determinada distribuição estatística. Especificamente, para o terminal Tecon, foram realizadas análises mensais dos processos de chegada e de atendimento, com a finalidade de estimar a demanda para os próximos anos, pois este terminal passará a operar com mais um berço de atracação. Posteriormente, construíram-se fluxogramas de simulação, para cada situação, de acordo com o número de locais de atracação, onde foram aplicados os valores estatísticos corretos que representaram os dados de chegada e deatendimento. Para cada simulação, o programa Arena forneceu inúmeros resultados, entre eles, o índice de congestionamento. Como um dos principais resultados, constatou-se que o terminal Tecon apresentou consideráveis reduções em termos de congestionamento, nas simulações realizadas para o ano de 2009, em que este terminal contará com mais um local de atracação.
This work had as intention to carry through an analysis of the operation of the Port of Rio Grande, through the technique of Simulation, with the aid of software “Arena”. The study was made for the public terminal called Novo Porto and the terminals of private initiative of Superporto, which are: Bianchini, Bunge Alimentos, Copesul, Petrobrás, Tecon, Tergrasa, Termasa and Trevo Operadora. In the terminals that possess a mooring place more than, two analyses had been effected: for the complete system, and each cradle separately. This paper still presented as objective, to compare the results gotten for the technique of Theory of Lines with the technique of Simulation, which are used inmodeling of systems. For such, the results supplied for Duarte had been used (2007), that in its master’s paper, carried through the operational analysis of the Port of Rio Grande, through the method of Theory of Lines. First, the data of movement of ships of the port had been inquired, during the years of 2004, 2005 and 2006, which had been supplied by theSupervision of the Port of Rio Grande (SUPRG). After that, the intervals between the arrivals of ships, and the times of each ttendance had been analyzed, with intention to represent these data through one definitive distribution statistics. Specifically, for the Tecon terminal, monthlyanalyses of the processes of arrived and attendance had been carried through,with the purpose esteem the demand for the next years, therefore this terminal will start to operate with plus a cradle of mooring. Later, simulation flowcharts had been constructed, for each situation, in accordance with the number of mooring places, where the correct statistical values that had represented the data of fond and of attendance had been applied. For each simulation, the program “Arena” supplied innumerable resulted, between them, the index of congestion. As one of the main results, one evidenced that the Tecon terminal presented considerable reductions in congestion terms, in the simulations carried through for the year of 2009, where this terminal will count on plus a mooring place.

Full textContemporary sustainability science and practice must embrace the complexity of social-ecological systems and capitalize on the lessons learned from the recent theoretical and applied advances made in various disciplines. This can be accomplished in particular by incorporating this extensive knowledge into management and decision making through integrative and operational frameworks. Based on contrasting but complementary case studies (coral reef fishery in Moorea, French Polynesia; artisanal benthic fishery in Chile and global food systems), and drawing from the recent development in social-ecological science, we extended the use of the social-ecological vulnerability framework by (1) mapping human-nature dependencies in the context of resource-user interactions, (2) integrating the temporal dimension, (3) accounting for multiple drivers of change and (4) their impact on diverse entities of the system considered. This interdisciplinary work provided the foundation to represent key linkages in social-ecological systems, understand the underlying sources of unsustainability, and address these through a set of targeted and context-grounded management interventions and policy actions. This thesis provides a new perspective on human-nature linkages and has a number practical implications for managers, conservation planners, and policy-makers that seek to incorporate a social-ecological perspective to tackle sustainability issues from local to global scales

Full textEnvironmental goals are commonly set to guide work towards ecological sustainability. The aim of this thesis is to develop a precise terminology for the description of goals in terms of properties that are important in their practical use as decision-guides and to illustrate how it can be used in evaluations of environmental policy.
Essay I (written together with Sven Ove Hansson) identifies a set of rationality criteria for individual goals and discusses them in relation to the typical function of goals. For a goal to perform its typical function, i.e., to guide and induce action, it must be precise, evaluable, approachable (attainable), and motivating.
Essay II argues that for a goal system to be rational it must not only satisfy the criteria identified in Essay I but should also be coherent. The coherence of a goal system is made up of the relations that hold among the goals, most notably relations of support and conflict, but possibly also relations of operationalization. A major part of the essay consists in a conceptual analysis of the three relations.
Essay III contains an investigation into the rationality of five Swedish environmental objectives through an application of the rationality criteria identified in Essays I-II. The paper draws the conclusion that the objectives are not sufficiently rational according to the suggested criteria. It also briefly points at some of the difficulties that are associated with the use of goals in environmental policy and managemen

The general hypothesis of this research is centered on the reflections about the possibility of operationalizing the idea of transgression as a functional concept for the studies of discourse. This study is based on a Foucauldian approach to discourse, inscribing itself in a philosophical position, much more than in a theory or method. At first, we try to think of transgression within the Foucauldian approach, from the crossings that the notions of event, truth, power, apparatus (dispositif) and certain practice of analysis of statements promote within the limits of an academic practice based on positivist procedures which upholds the notions of tradition, progress, exclusion from the heterogeneous, the ultimate truth, and finally, the homogenization of knowledge and practices. Simultaneously, I tried to highlight the points in which the Foucauldian notions contribute to illuminate conceptual and operational formulations of the idea of transgression. This research assumes an epistemological posture, because it aims to think the construction of a system of conceptual formation, however, because it is inscribed in the field of discursive studies, it sought to illustrate this construction from specific analysis of dictionary entries, journalistic news, the practice of pixação and two literary works by the Portuguese author José Saramago: The Gospel According to Jesus Christ and Cain. The analysis of these works sought to mark the singularity of the operation of transgression in literary discourse, considering the procedure of literary re-reading of history as a mechanism of transgression. Therefore, starting with Foucault's point of view on transgression in a text of 1963, we identify, based on the discursive analysis carried out, seven conceptual points for the idea of transgression, namely: (1) "transgression is a gesture concerning the limit "(FOUCAULT, 2006a); (2) transgression is of the order of the event; (3) transgression is a discussion about truth; (4) transgression is a discursive investment; (5) transgression is a discursive machine that moves the relevance of tradition; (6) transgression is a strategy of resistance; (7) transgression is one of constituents of an apparatus (dispositif). Finally, this research sought to cover some different fields of knowledge, discourse, and practices to reflect on transgression and viability, even the need for its operationalization to analyze discourses.
A hipótese geral desta pesquisa centra-se nas reflexões em torno da possibilidade de operacionalizar a ideia de transgressão como um conceito funcional para os estudos do discurso. Este estudo fundamenta-se em uma abordagem foucaultiana dos discursos, inscrevendo-se em uma postura filosófica, muito mais do que em uma teoria ou método. Procura-se, inicialmente, pensar a transgressão atuante no interior da abordagem foucaultiana, a partir dos atravessamentos que as noções de acontecimento, verdade,poder, dispositivo e de determinada prática de análise de enunciados promovem nos limites de um fazer acadêmico pautado nos procedimentos positivistas que sustentam a tradição, o progresso, a exclusão do heterogêneo, a verdade definitiva, enfim, a homogeneização dos saberes e das práticas. Simultaneamente, buscou-se evidenciar os pontos em que as noções foucaultianas contribuem para iluminar formulações conceituais e operacionais da ideia de transgressão. Esta pesquisa assume um caráter epistemológico, pois objetiva pensar a construção de um sistema de formação conceitual, entretanto, porque inscrita no campo dos estudos discursivos, procurou ilustrar essa construção a partir de análises pontuais de verbetes dicionarizados, de notícias jornalísticas, da prática de pixação e de duas obras literárias do autor português José Saramago: O evangelho segundo Jesus Cristo e Caim. A análise dessas obras procurou marcar a singularidade do funcionamento da transgressão no discurso literário, considerando o procedimento de releitura literária da história como um mecanismo transgressor. Portanto, partindo do apontamento de Foucault sobre a transgressão em um texto de 1963, identificamos, neste estudo a partir das análises discursivas realizadas, sete apontamentos conceituais para a ideia de transgressão, quais sejam: (1) “a transgressão é um gesto relativo ao limite” (FOUCAULT, 2006a); (2) a transgressão é da ordem do acontecimento; (3) a transgressão é uma discussão em torno da verdade; (4) a transgressão é um investimento discursivo; (5) a transgressão é uma máquina discursiva que move a pertinência da tradição; (6) a transgressão é estratégia de resistência; (7) a transgressão é uma das linhas de força constitutivas de um dispositivo. Enfim, essa pesquisa buscou percorrer alguns diferentes campos de saber, de discurso, de práticas para refletir em torno da transgressão, a viabilidade, e mesmo a necessidade de sua operacionalização para analisar discursos.
