Abstract:

As the world is becoming more and more globalized, business has to take the global marketplace into serious consideration. This is not just about new markets to sell products in, but also where to locate production and where to source resources from. With the launch of new communication technology it has also become easier and easier to cooperate across national borders without having to meet face-to-face. This has led to an increased demand on project managers concerning how to manage the communication within their project teams since they now can have members located in different geographical locations.

The main purpose of this research was to develop a deeper understanding about how project managers are managing communication within virtual teams. This was firstly done by through a literature review of the present knowledge in the field identifying five sub topics of interest.

Communication channels
Skills for effective communication
Dealing with technology
Dealing with differences in culture and language
Managing trust and relationships

These sub topics were used through the rest of the thesis as the structure of the argumentation. The empirical research consisted of a deductive interview study of four respondents within the ICT sectors in Sweden and Denmark.

Through the analysis and the conclusions all the topics were discussed in detail, where we got to know more about how they can be used to manage communication in virtual project teams. Something that came up in the analysis was the role of corporate culture in dealing with challenges in virtual communication, which in the end was suggested as a main topic for future research.

Different communication channels showed to be good for different things, both in terms of the efficiency of the communication but also for things such as facilitating engagement and accountability. There seem to be no clear understanding of what skills are required for efficient work in virtual teams, both in the present knowledge in the field and among the respondents. For managing technology it showed to be important to make sure that the technology works, that the team members know how to use it and why, and to find ways to warm up the media by making it more personal. Differences in culture and language were found to best be dealt with by building trust within the team and creating an understanding of the existing differences. Asynchronous communication showed to be effective for dealing with bigger language problems. The solutions for managing trust and relationships mainly revolved around social communication and getting to know each other better in the beginning, and around regular and predictable communication in the long run.

Abstract:

Although projects and project management has grown to be increasingly influential in all aspects of business operations, project success and efficiency is often harder to measure and arguably harder to execute. Many projects may often change the course of intent, exceed the initial budget, or even finish later than expected. This causes a great debate on the different ways to efficiently manage projects and what actually works best in practise. According to different scholars, some sides mention that traditional methods where planning is completed at the very beginning is the most efficient way to manage projects, while others mention the use of adaptive methods where planning is not ‘set in stone’. Project management as an academic field is relatively well explored, however as the COVID-19 continues to set restrictions to stop the spread of the virus, academic research to increase the empirical data on project management during the pandemic is needed. This study aims to contribute to this academic field to understand the reasoning behind project management adaptations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, this study will aim to gain understanding to the why’s and how’s of common themes regarding how projects have adapted. The industries this study will focus on will be the Swedish game-development industry and the Swedish heavy industry. Based on a literature search and review on project management evaluations methods, leadership styles, risk and crisis management, and project management methodologies, semi-structured interviews took place with CEO’s, project managers, and other senior managers in decision making positions, representing a total of six firms with three from each industry. The respondents were categorized based on their industry and if their project was completed or not. The analysis showed practical similarities in the implementations between projects, such as hygienic aspects in the workplace, remote working, and other practical implementations from the guidelines of the Swedish health authorities. The analysis also found the common theme of project responses being external threat recognition followed by the adaptation of remote working, the expansion of communication and finally the closure of the project. the analysis did however find smaller variations depending on the size of the firm and industry, such that smaller projects did not always need a firm wide remote working unit and that heavy industry projects leaned towards traditional project management methodologies with hints of agile methods, while the game-development projects quite explicitly used agile methods. While the study does contribute to the academic field of project management with empirical data and may provide guidance in future pandemics and similar situations, further research is needed in order to gain a full understanding on the pandemics effect on projects in Sweden, especially through a study covering a larger study size.

Abstract:

Southern Louisiana is experiencing a dramatic loss of freshwater wetlands as a result of natural and man-made changes in the landscape. Multitempral remotely sensed data were used to examine the impact of the Caernarvon Freshwater Diversion Structure, built in 1991 to divert water to Breton Sound. Satellite imagery data covering the period from 1974 to 2006 were analyzed by computing several spectral indices including NDVI, VI, IR/R, Sqrt IR/R, T-NDVI, and NDWI, as well as principle component analysis. The resulting enhanced images were classified into two classes, vegetation or open water. The ratios of vegetation to open water were then calculated and the changes graphed over the 1974-2006 timeframe. The results indicated that despite the infusion of freshwater, the open water portion of the Breton Sound area continued to expand, indeed the expansion rate increased from approximately 0.25% per year before construction of Caernarvon to 0.45% per year after construction.

Abstract:

There has been a general population decline in the European Arctic and northern periphery, with out-migration being one of the main drivers. The population is ageing and less able to contribute to the economic welfare. The EU has implemented a series of projects in the region in an attempt to remedy the out-migration and make the regions attractive for further investments and development. The study investigates how actors within a number of EU-funded projects perceived local social sustainability, in their communities and within their projects. It aims to gain a better understanding of what social sustainability means in northern contexts, and how EU-funded projects could improve social sustainability. Using coding inspired by the Arctic Social Indicators, the study mapped perceptions and reflections through conducting a series of interviews with actors attached to EU projects. The results show that a majority of projects potentially have had a higher impact on social sustainability than the actors reflected upon, such as the impact on cultural wellbeing that comes from improving local slow tourism, focussing on local traditions and heritage. The study also finds that transnational cooperation is perceived to be beneficial for socially sustainable outcomes with benefits including knowledge transfer and business cooperation. Transnational cooperation, however, comes with challenges such as communication issues due to language barriers, and policy difficulties when working across borders. Overall the study concludes that the EU projects are perceived to have positive outcomes on the social sustainability in northern communities. Not only did the actors perceive these EU-funded projects to be important for monetary development, but also in creating invaluable bonds between partners.

Abstract:

This study investigated the perceptions of students, the instructor and the laboratory assistant about the use of remote access technology in group projects of programming language courses. Their perceptions are investigated in terms of three aspects: effects of the use of this technology on their motivation, the perceived usefulness and the perceived ease of use of this technology. A central shared project server was installed for group project studies of students. To access to the central project server, Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection, which is a remote access technology, was used. The data were collected from 2nd grade university students by using a computer attitude scale and a questionnaire developed by the researcher. Also, interviews were conducted with the course instructor and the laboratory assistant. Descriptive statistics, frequency distributions and descriptive analysis methods were used to analyze the results. In results, the high percentage of indecisive students, which is between 38% and 48%, was noticeable. It was concluded that by increasing the length of usage of the system this high ratio may be decreased to reasonable levels. On the other hand, high number of the rest of the students reported positive perceptions. They expressed that remote access technology is a useful and also easy to use technology. It is concluded that students, the instructor and the laboratory assistant accepted the use of this new technology in their learning environment. Also, like instructor and the laboratory assistant, they stated that it affected their motivation towards the group projects in a positive way.

Abstract:

Mestrado em Gestão de Sistemas de Informação
Vive-se hoje uma época onde as organizações estão em constante mutação, as preocupações acrescidas com a qualidade e a performance tornaram o mundo empresarial um espaço agressivo e pouco tolerante ao erro. Contratar colaboradores culturalmente distantes ou geograficamente afastados, estimulando deste modo novas formas de trabalhar e cooperar passaram hoje a ser uma realidade e em alguns casos um fator diferenciador. Tentar compreender a existência de possíveis diferenças na gestão destas equipas, a viabilidade financeira da sua utilização o impacto da heterogeneidade cultural e geográfica no comportamento das mesmas são os grandes objetivos que o estudo pretende esclarecer. Para responder a estes temas, são abordados ao longo do estudo pontos essenciais para o correto funcionamento das Equipas Virtuais, sustentados numa investigação da literatura existente sobre o tema das Equipas Virtuais, com o intuito de aferir quais as caraterísticas principais já observadas por investigadores. Posteriormente é analisado um estudo de caso representativo da utilização de Equipas Virtuais, num contexto de um grande projeto de Sistemas de Informação. Foram recolhidas opiniões de alguns dos elementos participantes no projeto na forma de um questionário. Seguiu-se uma análise das respostas onde se obtiveram algumas conclusões. A necessidade de incentivar o uso de técnicas de inclusão como forma de eliminar as barreiras causadas pela distância física, a importância de aproximar os colaboradores fomentando uma maior cumplicidade e a relevância dos eventos presenciais na promoção da confiança, foram algumas das conclusões obtidas, cujo contributo espera-se, possa vir a ser útil a futuros investigadores.
Today is a time where organizations are constantly changing, increased concerns about quality and performance have made the business world an aggressive and not tolerant of error. Hiring culturally distant or geographically distant collaborators, stimulating new ways of working and cooperating, have now become a reality and in some cases a differentiating factor. Trying to understand the existence of possible differences in the management of these teams, the financial viability of their use and the impact of cultural and geographic heterogeneity on their behavior are the main objectives that the study intends to clarify.In order to respond to these themes, essential points for the correct functioning of the Virtual Teams, based on an investigation of the existing literature on the topic of Virtual Teams, are addressed throughout the study, in order to ascertain the main characteristics already observed by researchers. Subsequently a representative case study of the use of Virtual Teams is analyzed, in the context of a large Information Systems project. Opinions were collected from some of the project participants in the form of a questionnaire. This was followed by an analysis of the answers where some conclusions were obtained. The need to encourage the use of inclusion techniques as a way of eliminating the barriers caused by physical distance, the importance of bringing employees closer to each other and fostering more complicity and the relevance of face-to-face events in the promotion of trust were some of the conclusions obtained. It is hoped, may prove useful to future researchers.

Abstract:

The project is a part of series of hardware and software challenges merging in one. It is fundamentally an application to monitor the temperature changes and get notications based on those changes. Also through this application an electrical device that is connected to an outlet will be controlled remotely. It is a feature for the users that do not have access to certain type of devices and want to turn on/off them.This project is built by using a digital remote controller and an outlet (REMOTE CONTROLLEDOUTLETS 310000) that a potential heating system is connected to. The remote controller is controlled via Arduino. On Arduino there are two relays (PRMA2A12B) that turns the remote control on and off based on the input signal that is sent. There is also a temperature sensor connected to the Arduino. The readings from the temperature sensor are sent to a web server and stored there in order to track the changes. On the web interface, other than reading and tracking temperature changes, it is possible to turn on/off an outlet with an integrated button.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Ubiquitous computing, the ability to use computer resources anywhere and at anytime to accomplish tasks, is a capability that is in much demand. The Internet has provided an opportunity to meet this demand. However, access to the Internet is limited by connections to land based wired systems. In order to truly achieve effective ubiquitous computing, technology must be developed that extends internet access to remote and mobile platforms by using wireless access. The SEANET is a proof of concept collaborative project seeking to extend Internet access to the sea for the Oceanographic Research Fleet. This thesis studies how the Internet evolved to draw lessons learned that can be applied to the development of SEANET. It also presents a possible method for more effectively meeting the SEANET goals through use of a Project Management Plan

Abstract:

O modelo de atores tem sido visto como uma abordagem alternativa à programação concorrente convencional, baseada em travas e variáveis de condição. Atores são agentes computacionais que se comunicam por troca de mensagens e que possuem uma caixa de correio e um comportamento. As mensagens destinadas a um ator são armazenadas na caixa de correio do ator e processadas de maneira assíncrona. Sistemas de middleware orientados a mensagens trabalham com troca assíncrona de mensagens e formam uma base que simplifica o desenvolvimento de aplicações distribuídas. Tais sistemas permitem interoperabilidade com baixo acoplamento e provêm suporte para tratamento robusto de erros em caso de falhas. Message brokers são frequentemente apresentados como uma tecnologia que pode mudar a maneira com que sistemas distribuídos são construídos. A especificação AMQP é uma proposta recente de padronização de um protocolo para message brokers. Neste trabalho exploramos a potencial sinergia entre um message broker e uma implementação do modelo de atores. Criamos uma versão modificada da implementação do modelo de atores do projeto Akka que utiliza um message broker AMQP como mecanismo de transporte de mensagens para atores remotos.
The actor model has been seen as an alternative for conventional concurrent programming based on locks and condition variables. Actors are computational agents that communicate by sending messages and have a mailbox and a behavior. The messages sent to an actor are stored in its mailbox and are asynchronously processed. Message oriented middleware systems work with asynchronous message exchange and create a base that simplifies the development of distributed applications. These systems have interoperability with low coupling and provide support for robust error handling in case of failures. Message brokers are often presented as a technology that can change the way distributed systems are built. The AMQP specification is a recent proposal of a standard protocol for message brokers. In this document we explore the potential synergy between a message broker and an implementation of the actor model. We created a modified version of the actor model implementation provided by the Akka project. Our modified implementation uses an AMQP message broker as the transport engine for messages to remote actors.

Abstract:

A manutenção dos ecossistemas florestais da Amazônia é, sem dúvida, de suma importância para preservação da biodiversidade do planeta. Utilizar e avaliar dados de última geração que forneçam informações sobre estes ecossistemas torna-se então fundamental para o gerenciamento dos mesmos. Projeto pioneiro realizado na década de 1970, o RADAM teve como objetivo levantar, a partir de imagens de RADAR obtidas na banda X, informações sobre os recursos naturais da Amazônia. O avanço dos sistemas sensores baseados nas tecnologias de RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging), com a introdução de plataformas capazes de imagear a superfície em comprimentos de onda maiores e em mais de uma polarização, trouxe uma nova perspectiva no campo de estudo destes recursos. Este trabalho emergiu a partir da constatação da necessidade, e possibilidade, de se obter informações mais precisas e atualizadas sobre o ambiente amazônico, levando em conta, inclusive, a velocidade das transformações que recaem sobre essa região. O objetivo primário do estudo foi analisar o potencial das imagens produzidas pelos radares de abertura sintética (SAR) nas bandas L e nas polarizações HH, HV e VV, na avaliação de tipologias vegetais da porção leste da Ilha de Marajó. Entendemos que essa pequena parcela do ambiente amazônico nos cede uma chave de padrões de classificação que podem ser replicados em outras regiões da Amazônia Legal, ou mesmo, em novos projetos de mapeamento similares ao RADAM. Os resultados obtidos por meio de análises das imagens de radar e através do estudo de diversas propostas de classificação fitogeográfica, evidenciaram um alto potencial de utilização destes recursos, bem como a possibilidade de avançarmos na escala de análise, produzindo mapeamentos de maior detalhe e mais abrangentes do ponto de vista das classes vegetais. A tecnologia para incrementar o mapeamento da região amazônica, de forma mais criteriosa e precisa, já existe há algum tempo e está disponível às instituições nacionais. Dar esse salto, importantíssimo para o conhecimento, preservação e monitoramento daquele que é considerado hoje o bioma mais importante do mundo, só depende de uma mudança nos critérios e de uma atualização das ferramentas usadas até o momento.
The maintenance of forest ecosystems in the Amazon is undoubtedly of great importance to the preservation of the planets biodiversity. The utilization and analysis of last generation data about these ecosystems become fundamental for their management. A pioneer project in the 1970 decade, the RADAM project had the objective of gathering information about Amazon natural resources from RADAR images obtained in the band X. The progress in sensor systems based on RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) technologies, with the introduction of platforms capable of imaging the surface in bigger wavelengths and in more than one polarization, brought a new perspective in the study area of these resources. This work emerged from the constatation of the need and possibility of obtaining more precise and updated information about the Amazon environment, inclusive considering the speed of the transformations that occur in this region. The primary objective of the study was to analyze the potential of the produced images by Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) in bands L and in polarizations HH, HV and VV, for the evaluation of vegetal typology of the east portion of Marajo Island. We understand that this little portion of the Amazon environment gives us a key of classification patterns that can be reapplied in other regions of Legal Amazon, or even in new mapping projects similar to RADAM. The results obtained from radar images analysis and through the study of several propositions for phytogeographic classification evidenced a high potential for the utilization of these resources, as well as the possibility of making progresses in the analysis scale, producing more detailed and comprehensive mappings from the point of view of vegetal classes. The technology to improve the mapping of Amazon region in a more criterious and precise manner has already existed for some time now and is available for national institutions. Making this leap, greatly important to knowledge, preservation and monitoring of what is considered the most important biome in the world only depends on a change in criteria and an updating of the tools that have been used up to this moment.

Abstract:

Dans un monde de détection et prospection minière, une multitude de techniques existent. Une des techniques les plus puissantes est l’activation par neutrons (NAA et PGAA). Toutefois, dans le cadre de la prospection minière, l’utilisation de cette technique nécessite du forage. La motivation du projet GREYSTAR est de permettre l’analyse élémentaire par activation en limitant l’impact environnemental. Les facteurs limitant sont l’activation d’un volume distant et la détection de la radiation émise par ce volume. Ce mémoire examine l’activation par neutrons thermiques et la détection de gammas provenant de la désexcitation des noyaux activés. Une approche expérimentale est présentée avec des simulations pour venir appuyer les données expérimentales. Il en résulte que le projet GREYSTAR tel que décrit dans ce mémoire est prometteur et que davantage de recherche est à prescrire. Les résultats initiaux indiquent que selon le prototype proposé, les limites de détections sont de l’ordre de 2-3 m dans un matériel semblable au granite. On conclut que d’un point de vue de prospection minière, il est intéressant de poursuivre la recherche. De plus, plusieurs autres applications dans les domaines militaire, civil et policier sont prometteuses.
In the world of prospecting and detection, various techniques exist. One of the most powerful techniques is neutron activation analysis (both NAA and PGAA). For prospecting, however, this technique requires drilling. The motivation for the GREYSTAR project is to make elemental analysis via neutron analysis possible with little or no environmental impact. The limiting factors are the activation of remote volumes and detection of emitted radiation. This thesis looks at thermal neutron activation and delayed gamma decay from the activated nuclei. An experimental approach is proposed with simulations to back up the results. The resulting impression is that the GREYSTAR project as described is promising and further research is commended. Initial results indicate that depending on the prototypal setup, detection limits are of the order of 2-3 m in a material similar to granite. We conclude that from a prospecting point of view, it is worth continuing the research. Furthermore, other fields such as military, civil and law enforcement could benefit from an eventual prototype as well.

Abstract:

No âmbito do projeto ICARUS pretende-se desenvolver um veículo autónomo de salvamento marítimo. O objetivo é que este constitua o primeiro socorro de náufragos. Enquadrado neste projeto, proponho-me ao comando e ao controlo diferencial dos dois motores elétricos com que o veículo irá ser equipado sendo que estes irão levar a própria plataforma para o lugar do náufrago. O veículo pode chegar ao lugar do náufrago usando dois modos, o primeiro é com comando à distância com a assistência de um operador, e o segundo será feito em modo autónomo sem ter assistência de nenhum operador. O modo autónomo será feito com auxílio a vários WayPoints, ou varias pernadas, durante o caminho até chegar ao local pretendido, com a tensão e autonomia das baterias dos motores e da plataforma em si. Assim, fazer passar o veículo por vários pontos de forma autónoma requer um algoritmo muito eficiente e eficaz, e capaz de prevenir e corrigir todos os erros devido a fatores externos que possam surgir no percurso e que possam dificultar ou impossibilitar a chegada ao ponto desejado, por exemplo os efeitos do vento e da corrente, que são os mais comuns. Este algoritmo será capaz de conjugar os regimes dos dois motores de forma diferencial para conseguir orientar o veículo fazendo as guinadas necessárias e corrigindo também o afastamento ao rumo base devido aos fatores externos. Este algoritmo irá ser inserido no microcontrolador do todo o sistema (Arduíno) que por sua vez irá interagir com o recetor do camando remoto de um lado e com o controlador do motor de outro lado, sendo que irá ter, também, um GPS e uma giro bússola como sensores, que serão necessários na parte da orientação e da correção do veículo.

Abstract:

Through this case study, we sought to analyze a U.S. based insurance company’s implementation of agile methodologies in a remote digital environment in comparison to using agile in a typical physical environment work setting. We wanted to gain an in-depth perception through questioning if this company changed how they use agile methodologies during the COVID-19 pandemic, what the benefits and drawbacks of using agile methodologies are in a remote digital environment, if individual project roles were impacted with remote use of agile methodologies, and what is the reasoning of the company regarding the use of agile methodologies remotely after the pandemic? A semi-structured interview was done with six respondents that work with agile methodologies in an IT Division at a large scale U.S. insurance company to gain insight into our questions through a qualitative study. According to the respondents, they were satisfied with how the company implemented agile methodologies remotely, but some felt it was a wake-up call that agile methodologies were not the best methodology that their project team could employ. These results can be used for future organizations not just to see how they can better implement agile methodologies in a remote setting and how they can better use agile methodologies to foster better communication, Knowledge Transfer, and Competence Development with their employees.

Abstract:

Research shows that organizations rely on intangible value chains to boost their economic development through knowledge being seen as a resource. However, due to the emerging complexity withing various organizational designs and complexity of multi-levels in projects, still very little is known on how knowledge is shared and utilized in a complex and multi-leveled context. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how knowledge is shared and utilized in complex project-based environments and how underlying mechanisms of knowledge can be stimulated to facilitate a knowledge management system. To answer the research question, data was collected through eleven semi-structured interviews and analyzed through grounded theory. Results show that depending on the organizational environment, different mechanisms are more suited than others. In the industrial organization examined in this case study, a personification strategy is well suited as the organizational tasks are unique in nature. Furthermore, the initiation of knowledge sharing opportunities play an important role in implementing knowledge management. In this context, an institutionalization approach is the desired mechanisms to stimulate. This is due to the size of the organization and the fact that employees are geographically dispersed. It is further amplified by the increased amount of remote-working, especially in the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic which has limited face-to-face interactions. To implement a knowledge management strategy of personification and institutionalization, routines are paramount to its success. Without the implementation of standards and routines governed from the organization and management level, there is a risk of knowledge management initiatives failing due to lack of commitment and participation.

As rodovias constituem uma categoria de empreendimentos de grande porte que alteram profundamente o desenvolvimento e o ordenamento territorial, interferindo na qualidade no meio ambiente tanto na sua fase de construção quanto durante o período de operação. O conhecimento rigoroso das condições ambientais da área onde a rodovia será implantada é fator determinante na qualidade do projeto rodoviário tanto do ponto de vista técnico como ambiental. Ao longo das últimas décadas, técnicas fotogramétricas se consolidaram em estudos para implantação de rodovias. O desenvolvimento tecnológico possibilitou o surgimento de sensores complementares às câmeras fotogramétricas como o sensor Laser Scanner, que possibilita a geração de Modelos Digitais do Terreno (MDT) e Modelos Digitais de Elevação (MDE) de uma área de forma relativamente rápida e com precisão altimétrica na casa dos decímetros. Nesta pesquisa fez-se um estudo em um trecho da rodovia SC-414 com o objetivo de estudar aplicações para produtos fotogramétricos, do sensor Laser Scanner e integração de ambos em projetos rodoviários. Utilizou-se para isso mapeamentos realizados para os estudos de anteprojeto do projeto final de construção da rodovia. Inicialmente buscou-se informações e treinamento com os detentores da tecnologia Laser Scanner no país. A próxima etapa consistiu no tratamento da nuvem de pontos laser utilizando programas CAD e programas específicos para o manuseio dos dados laser. Os dados tratados foram integrados com os produtos fotogramétricos, gerando-se mapas de uso do solo, MDTs, MDEs e cartas de declividade. Estes produtos foram sobrepostos entre si e ao cadastro técnico e projeto geométrico da rodovia, tornando possível a realização de análise temática da faixa de domínio. Realizou-se também uma análise de propriedades rurais na área diretamente afetada pela implantação da rodovia. Observou-se que sensor Laser Scanner é capaz de gerar informações temáticas de grande escala relevantes para projetos de implantação de rodovias. A integração de produtos fotogramétricos digitais forneceu informações que não seriam obtidas somente com os produtos do sensor Laser Scanner. A utilização conjunta dos produtos gerados com o cadastro técnico e o projeto geométrico da rodovia constituiu-se em excelente ferramenta para análises temáticas da área onde a rodovia será implantada.

Relatório de Estágio apresentado para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Gestão do Território, área de especialização em Detecção Remota e SIG
A segurança, representa um factor preponderante no contexto da gestão das infraestruturas aeroportuárias, e condiciona por isso todo o desenvolvimento operacional e admnistrativo envolvido. A responsabilidade dos aeroportos neste contexto, não se encerram nos limites de uma aerogare, estendendo-se a vários patamares de responsabilidade social, desde a entrada ou saída do País por parte de alguém ou algo, e terminando na responsabilidade Nacional que cada um desses pequenos passos, representam na segurança nacional e internacional. O dinamismo de resposta que se impôs na gestão corrente e operacional das áreas aeronáuticas, marcou a passada década e as próximas, de enormes exigências, níveis de precisão altos e margens de erro baixas que idealmente se aproximem de valores nulos, tendo sempre em consciência que o que hoje se actualiza amanhã volta necessitar de nova adequação a novas exigências e necessidades. O Aeroporto representa a infra-estrutura ou palco de acção, onde intervenientes de várias proveniências e níveis de responsabilidade (Stakeholders e passageiros), se integram na operacionalização concertada ao mesmo objectivo. A correcta acção pode definir a correcta parametrização de deveres e responsabilidades de cada um destes elementos na mais adequada gestão das operações diárias, a um ponto de vista global aos vários interesses, promovendo a sustentabilidade. A promoção de projectos inovadores, na intensificação de segurança, e no incremento sustentado da qualidade ao serviço prestado, são exigências dos organismos reguladores comunitários e internacionais. Com a constante modernização, estes devem procurar soluções mais adequadas com base em novas tecnologias que se revelem altamente qualificadas a darem resposta aos novos problemas, e prevendo idealmente uma abertura a novos estudos, a novas respostas que antecipem novas dificuldade, como uma espiral que constantemente evolui. A esse objectivo, as empresas necessitam promover a cooperação, de modo a promover um enriquecimento dos resultados, estimulando uma actualização interna de conhecimentos cuja sinergia criada impulsiona e incentiva a satisfação do capital humano. A Direcção ANA Consulting (Direcção de acolhimento do estágio), é uma área de desenvolvimento de projectos de inovação e tecnologia, e é um exemplo da aposta tecnológica da ANA neste sentido. O estágio previu o acompanhamento do projecto A-GUIDANCE, e sua implementação nos aeroportos Nacionais. O projecto prevê a parametrização e controlo de veículos, aeronaves e stands no Lado Ar dos Aeroportos, para elevar índices de segurança, cumprindo pressupostos e exigências nomeadamente da ICAO, nestas áreas críticas. Esta necessidade verifica-se, pela elevada percentagem que ocupa no geral de acidentes aeronáuticos, os ocorridos nos Runways e Taxiways, nos momentos críticos da aterragem e descolagem de aeronaves. Este projecto encontra-se numa fase de planeamento e implementação aos aeroportos que se enquadram no universo da gestão da ANA. A cartografia aeronáutica, foi um dos enfoques principais pois encontrava-se repartida no seu domínio e responsabilidade por várias entidades cujos interesses e métodos divergiam. A necessidade de uniformizar dados a pressupostos estipulados em normas regulamentares já estabelecidas, foi a primeira prioridade. O projecto G-AOC, procura o desenvolvimento tecnológico baseado em tecnologias de deteção remota (radar), que se integre numa plataforma SIG, permitindo a extração automática de mudanças de terreno em perímetros urbanos, em cumprimento ao ciclo AIRAC, com uma precisão concordante ao exigido no Anexo 15 da ICAO (E-TOD). Pretendia-se também, o envolvimento e conhecimento das actividades relacionadas ao SGIDI da ANA, compreendendo a importância dos procedimentos aeroportuários na relação e gestão da cadeia de processos dos grandes projectos ATM Europeus e Internacionais futuros, como o SESAR, tendo em conta a necessidade de sustentabilidade (económica, ambiental) e a vantagem de interoperabilidade e gestão inteligente como meio para uma maior competitividade.

Although there are studies that have been seeking modeling the influence of meteorological variables in relation to crop yield, the application of such models on a global scale and the consequent achievement concerning spatial results is a real challenge due to the complexity of the involved variables. Thus, this study aimed to analyze and implement software that allows the application of models to estimate agricultural yield based on remote sensing images, in a spatial and automated way. Yield estimation model using FAO water balance, as well as the needed indices to calculate it were implemented and subsequently tested for soybean cropping in Parana state for the 2011/2012 harvesting season. Design standards and analyses by language Unified Modeling Language (UML) were used to create a software structures and standardize computational tools. Such structures were implemented to data processing, water balance estimation and yield estimation, whose result was a version 1.0.1 software Crop-yield Modeling Platform - CyMP. Its structure makes implementation and use of estimation models more practical, automated, reusable and scalable for cropping yield. According to the proposed software, it was possible to reduce noise in vegetation indices from the orbital sensor images of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer - MODIS, interpolate images from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ECMWF, climate model to MODIS resolution, determine FAO water balance, estimate dates of development cycle of soybean crop, estimate hydric stress factor, estimate real evapotranspiration, and finally estimate both gross potential yield and attainable yield of soybean crop in Paraná State for the 2011/2012 harvesting season.
Embora haja estudos que busquem modelar as influências de variáveis agrometeorológicas em relação à produtividade das culturas agrícolas, a aplicação destes modelos em escala global e a consequente obtenção de resultados de forma espacial é um verdadeiro desafio dada a complexidade de variáveis envolvidas. Assim, este trabalho buscou analisar e implementar um software que permita a aplicação de modelos de estimativa de produtividade agrícola, baseados em imagens de sensoriamento remoto, de forma espacial e automatizada. O modelo de estimativa de produtividade, utilizando o balanço hídrico FAO, assim como os índices necessários para obtê-lo, foi implementado e posteriormente testado para o cultivar soja no Estado do Paraná para a safra 2011/2012. Padrões de projeto e análises utilizando a Unified Modeling Language (UML) foram utilizados na construção de estruturas de software e padronização de ferramentas computacionais. Tais estruturas foram implementadas para tratamento de dados, estimativa de balanço hídrico e estimativa de produtividade para dar origem ao software Crop-yield Modeling Platform CyMP, versão 1.0.1. Sua estrutura torna, de formas prática, automatizada, reutilizável e escalável, a implementação e a utilização de modelos de estimativa de produtividade agrícola. De acordo com o software proposto, foi possível suavizar ruídos em índices de vegetação provenientes de imagens do sensor Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer - MODIS, interpolar imagens provindas do modelo climático europeu - European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ECMWF - para resolução MODIS, determinar o balanço hídrico FAO, estimar as datas do ciclo de desenvolvimento da cultura da soja, estimar o fator de estresse hídrico da cultura, estimar a evapotranspiração real e, por fim, estimar tanto a produtividade potencial bruta como a produtividade atingível da cultura da soja no Estado do Paraná para safra 2011/2012.

A globalização tem causado um aumento significativo na competição entre as empresas, mas em contrapartida ela também permite a cooperação entre empresas, mesmo que estejam geograficamente distantes umas das outras. Uma área de pesquisa decorrente dessa aproximação virtual é a fabricação de peças a distância, que conta com a participação dos seguintes atores: (i) um cliente remoto que introduz as encomendas; (ii) uma empresa modeladora responsável pelo desenvolvimento e disponibilização de módulos computacionais para o projeto das peças e para o planejamento das operações de manufatura; e (iii) uma empresa onde a fabricação propriamente dita será efetuada. No presente trabalho de Mestrado descreve-se o desenvolvimento de um sistema computacional visando a integração CAD/CAPP/CAM para a fabricação a distância de peças prismáticas via Internet. O módulo CAD é baseado na abordagem de projeto por features, onde um cliente remoto pode modelar a peça para logo depois enviar a ordem de fabricação para o servidor. O módulo CAPP recebe as informações vindas do CAD e adiciona dados relativos à manufatura, gerando então o plano de processo. Finalmente, de posse das informações acima, o módulo CAM gera o programa para a usinagem da peça e o envia para a máquina. Os resultados deste sistema são testados em uma máquina de prototipagem rápida por usinagem. O sistema computacional foi baseado nas técnicas de programação orientada a objetos. Globalization has been causing a significant increase in the competition among companies, but on the other hand it also allows the cooperation between companies, even if they are geographically distant among themselves. A research area due to that virtual approach is the remote manufacture of parts, which has the participation of the following actors: (i) a remote customer who inputs the orders; (ii) a modeling company, who is responsible for the development and provision of software modules for the design of the parts and for the manufacturing process planning; and (iii) a company where actual manufacture will take place. In the present Master's research the development of a software system is described aiming at the integration of CAD/CAPP/CAM for the remote manufacture of prismatic parts through the Internet. The CAD module is based on the features approach, where a remote customer models the part and then sends the production order to the server. The CAPP module receives the information from the CAD module, and adds manufacturing data to it, generating the process plan. Finally, after getting hold of the above information, the CAM module generates the program for the machining of the part and sends it to the machine. The results of this system are tested in a rapid prototyping machine (by machining). The software system was developed based on the object-oriented programming technique.

Abstract:

Senior university students taking an internationally distributed project course in computer systems find themselves in a complex learning situation. To understand how they experience computer systems and act in their learning situation, the what, the why, the how and the where of their learning have been studied from the students’ perspective. The what aspect concerns the students’ understanding of concepts within computer systems: network protocols. The why aspect concerns the students’ objectives to learn computer systems. The how aspect concerns how the students go about learning. The where aspect concerns the students’ experience of their learning environment. These metaphorical entities are then synthesised to form a whole. The emphasis on the students’ experience of their learning motivates a phenomenographic research approach as the core of a study that is extended with elements of activity theory. The methodological framework that is developed from these research approaches enables the researcher to retain focus on learning, and specifically the learning of computer systems, throughout. By applying the framework, the complexity in the learning is unpacked and conclusions are drawn on the students’ learning of computer systems. The results are structural, qualitative, and empirically derived from interview data. They depict the students’ experience of their learning of computer systems in their experienced learning situation and highlight factors that facilitate learning. The results comprise sets of qualitatively different categories that describe how the students relate to their learning in their experienced learning environment. The sets of categories, grouped after the four components (what, why, how and where), are synthesised to describe the whole of the students’ experience of learning computer systems. This study advances the discussion about learning computer systems and demonstrates how theoretically anchored research contributes to teaching and learning in the field. Its multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary character invites further debate, and thus, advances the field.

Abstract:

The growing demand for hydrocarbon fluids, and the future expectation of insufficient onshore reserves, is driving the exploration and development of off-shore oil and gas fields. A significantly increasing number of the new fields are situated in deep water, placing significant constraints on the application of conventional platform (sea surface) systems. This has, by necessity, generated the rapid growth of sub-sea processing technology.
An integral part of a novel sub-sea natural gas dehydration project is the need to design and develop a communications, monitor and control system that is extremely reliable within a harsh marine environment. The off shore gas gathering and processing facility will be unmanned, therefore the entire ongoing operation of the sub-sea facility, and any sea surface equipment, will be dependent on the proper functioning of the communication system. System redundancy and low power consumption are also important issues.
The continuous bi-directional transmission of information between the field and shore-based control centres, together with the complexity of any maintenance / repair missions requires an extremely highly reliable system. The prospect of false alarms must be maintained at an absolute minimum.
Within this thesis the history and development of ocean based communications up to current state-of-the art technology is reviewed. Based on the unique and demanding requirements of the sub-sea gas processing facility, detailed recommendations are made for both a primary and back-up communication systems that meet the given criteria of being robust and having very low power requirements.

Abstract:

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur projektdeltagare upplever övergången till distansarbete som skedde i och med Covid-19 pandemin och om de upplever att det hade inflytande på kunskapsöverföringen i projekt. Genomen en kvalitativ ansats genomfördes semistrukturerade intervjuer med 10 projektdeltagare som sedan tematiskt analyserades. De teman som uppträdde var ”Ett tveeggat svärd”, ”Kompass i mörkret” samt ”Kalejdoskop av framtiden”. Resultatet visar att distansarbetet i hög grad uppskattas och att motivationen till kunskapsöverföring förblev oförändrade. De största utmaningarna är att den sociala aspekten i viss mån försvinner och det är svårare att tolka kroppsspråk och ansiktsuttryck. Slutsatsen är att oavsett digitala verktyg är det fortfarande människan som står i centrum, och digitala verktyg ska anpassas till att passa in i sin kontext och sitt syfte för att kunskapsöverföringen ska kunna bibehållas vid distansarbete.
The purpose of this study is to examine how project participants experience the transition to remote work that took place with the Covid-19 pandemic and whether they experience that it had an influence on the knowledge transfer within projects. Through a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 project participants, which were then thematically analyzed. The themes appeared were “A double-edged sword”, “Compass in the darkness” and “Kaleidoscope of the future”. The results show that remote work is greatly appreciated and that the motivation for knowledge transfer remained unchanged. The biggest challenges are that the social aspect disappears to some extent and it is more difficult to interpret body language and facial expressions. The conclusion is that regardless of digital tools, it is still the human beings who is at the center, and digital tools must be adapted to fit into their context and purpose so that the knowledge transfer can be maintained in remote work.

Abstract:

This study aims to recognize how virtual teams should be coordinated and led in organizations that operate at multiple sites. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a literature review on previous research on virtual teams was implemented. Further, a qualitative study including interviews with leaders at different levels at Ericsson was conducted to gain empirical data on how leadership in virtual teams works. The interviews were semi-structured with the purpose of not directing the leaders towards only bringing up the challenges that emerged in the literature review but to also bring up new perspectives. The major challenges that virtual teams face, thus challenges that the leaders must somehow address, can be divided into three areas: communication, coordination and location. Concerning communication, it is important that leaders of virtual teams set the means for communications, define ground rules and make sure that the right kind of communication is used for the right purpose. Further, it is important to communicate more often than if the team would have been co-located and actively try to build trust and cohesion within the team by being transparent and honest. To meet face to face with the team members, especially in the beginning when the team is created, is important both for understanding (virtual communication becomes easier afterward) and for the building of trust and cohesion. In the area coordination it is important for the leader to clearly define the roles of each team member and how the roles as well as the team efforts contribute to a larger picture. There is no perfect distribution that is applicable to all virtual teams, each team must find their balance concerning how many team members that should be positioned at each site. In general, to push responsibilities down in the hierarchy is a suitable role structure for virtual teams. The location area includes challenges such as different languages, cultures and collaboration across different time zones. It is important to have an operative language that all team members understand and master. When creating a new team, it is important that the leader or the person creating it, is aware of how cultural differences impact, so that the challenges can be addressed properly, and the benefits of diversity as well as the expanded labor pool, can be utilized. Working across different time zones brings benefits such as more hours of the day can be used, but it also includes challenges, such as limited real-time communication. Thus, the optimal time overlap is difficult to define, but generally, leaders prefer involving fewer time zones and large time overlaps.

Abstract:

The world has been affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and many companies and organizations have adopted different type of strategies in terms of the workplace in all sectors around the world. Working from home practice has gained prominence as a part of quarantine measures to curb the spread of the disease since the beginning of the outbreak. This abrupt change has a dramatic influence on the business life and employees have been struggling to adapt to their new way of working. Therefore their productivity has changed, too depending on various factors at their new workplace: home. Working from home is only possible with the use of information technology. Information technology makes it possible for the business life to continue owing to its solutions. Owing to the solutions of information technology, employees can communicate with each other and organizations and complete their tasks by sending and receiving written, audio and visual information. It is crucial for everyone’s sake that the employees working in information technology work efficiently, particularly in pandemic times. The key role of their success is played by their managers and coordinators. Therefore, this thesis focuses on IT project managers and coordinators’ productivity. The purpose of this study is to list the factors, as benefits and challenges, influencing the productivity of IT project managers and project coordinators working from home during COVID-19 pandemic and provide recommendations to the project managers and project coordinators and also public and private organizations and companies which prefer to continue working from home to increase their productivity. In this study, qualitative research method and descriptive statistics concerning the selected benefits and challenges are used via a self- administered digital survey responded by 46 project managers/coordinators. It is concluded that working from home due to COVID-19 pandemic has both positive and negative influences on productivity of the IT project managers/project coordinators. Many benefits, such as sleeping longer hours and being able to focus at home without open-office distractions and many challenges, such as being distracted by house chores and being disturbed by family members have been identified as a result of the survey. Respondents contributed to the study further by their valuable recommendations to public and private organizations and also to other IT project managers/coordinators who work from home during the pandemic to increase their productivity. The recommendations to other PM/PC are concerned with routine and discipline, work-life balance, breaks and doing other things, workspace, people around and communication. The recommendations to organizations, on the other hand, are concerned with various types of support, respecting time, flexibility about time, trust, communication and acceptance as family. Both the findings and recommendations may help IT project managers/coordinators and their employers to develop a more comprehensive vision in terms of increasing their productivity while working from home during the pandemic.

Resumo: Atualmente é cada vez mais comum encontrarmos recursos hídricos contaminados por substâncias resultantes da atividade antropogênica, especialmente aquelas oriundas dos descartes de processos industriais. Estes compostos químicos geralmente representam uma ameaça à saúde humana e ao equilíbrio dos ecossistemas aquáticos. Os efeitos são ainda mais prejudiciais quando tais substâncias se tratam dos VOCs clorados - Compostos Orgânicos Voláteis clorados, pois além de prejuízos aos recursos hídricos e à saúde da população, tais compostos são conhecidos contaminantes atmosféricos que auxiliam na formação de ozônio na troposfera. Dentre os tipos de tratamento existentes para correntes aquosas contaminadas por VOCs, destaca-se nesta pesquisa o air stripping (passagem de ar dentro de um coluna separadora em contracorrente à corrente aquosa), como uma das tecnologias mais simples, eficiente e econômica para a remoção destes compostos, conforme tem atestado pela U.S. EPA. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo sugerir uma configuração ótima em termos de consumo energético e custo fixo da unidade para uma unidade de tratamento empregando air stripping. Para efetuar a otimização da unidade foi preciso dimensionar a coluna de stripping (estágios de equilíbrio e projeto hidrodinâmico), a bomba centrífuga que transportaria o líquido contaminado até a coluna, e o soprador que forneceria ar à temperatura ambiente para a coluna. O problema de otimização obtido possuiu, desta forma, equações relacionadas ao dimensionamento dos equipamentos sujeitas a limitações dimensionais dos acessórios constituintes, a restrições operacionais e tendo de respeitar os limites impostos pela legislação quanto ao descarte das substâncias estudadas. Como resultado, esta pesquisa apresenta a metodologia básica necessária à elaboração do projeto de uma unidade de air stripping, ao passo que sugere, dentro das considerações levadas a cabo, parâmetros ótimos para a realização de tal projeto

The effects are still more harmful when such substances are chlorinated VOCs chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds, because besides damages to water resources and population's health, such substances are known atmospheric pollutants which contribute to ground levei ozone formation. Among the existent treatment types for aqueous mixtures contaminated for VOCs, it is emphasized in this research the air stripping (air passage inside of a separating column in countercurrent to the aqueous mixture), as one of the simplest, efficient and economical technologies used for VOCs removal, as it has been attesting by U.S. EPA. This research had as objective to suggest optimum configurations, in terms of energy consumption and fixed cost, for an air stripping treatment plant. To carry out the required optimization was necessary to size the stripping column (equilibrium stages and hydrodynamic project), the centrifugal pump that would transport the polluted liquid until the column, and the blower that would supply air at ambient temperature for the column. The obtained optimization problem had, in this way, equations related to the sizing of each piece of equipment, which are subject to dimensional limitations of the constituent accessories, to operational restrictions and to discharge limits imposed by Brazilian Laws to the studied substances. As result, this research presents the necessary basic methodology for the elaboration of an air stripping unit project, while it suggests, based on the supposed considerations, optimum parameters for the elaboration of such a project

Abstract:

Atualmente existe uma forte demanda por planos e projetos de drenagem urbana, em vista do crescimento da urbanização e de novas exigências legais. Tais planos e projetos poderão esbarrar em uma ausência de relações Intensidade-Duração-Frequência (IDF) para a maioria das cidades brasileiras, em vista da inexistência de dados pluviográficos que possibilitem sua construção. Neste trabalho, foram estimadas relações IDF para todas as sedes municipais brasileiras a partir de estimativas de precipitação do satélite TRMM, que faz medições com resolução temporal de 3 horas. As chuvas máximas com durações menores do que 3 horas foram obtidas através de relação entre durações. As curvas IDF geradas foram comparadas com relações IDF clássicas, estabelecidas com dados pluviográficos. Adicionalmente, foram comparadas com um método alternativo clássico de obtenção de relações IDF em locais sem dados pluviográficos, em que os totais pluviométricos diários são desagregados para durações menores. Os resultados mostram que as curvas IDF geradas a partir do TRMM possuem incertezas, porém são uma alternativa tão eficiente quanto a utilização de chuvas desagregadas a partir de dados pluviométricos.
Nowadays, there is a need for urban drainage projects and planning in Brazil, due to continuing urbanization and a new legal framework. Such plans and projects will demand Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) relations, at least for cities larger than 100.000 inhabitants. Such relations, as well as the pluviographic data which is needed to build them, are often unavailable in Brazil. In this research IDF relations were estimated based on 3-hourly TRMM precipitation estimates. They were then compared to standard IDF relations in sites with pluviographic data. In addition, TRMM IDF relations were compared with another alternative technique for places lacking pluviographic data. Results showed that TRMM estimation of the rainfall still has important uncertainties, but are an alternative method for places without rainfall data.

Abstract:

Dans le cycle de carbone à l'échelle de la planète, la contribution des forêts tropicales, en tant que stock de carbone, est déterminante. Les études actuelles montrent que la connaissance précise de la biomasse forestière globale est nécessaire pour les modèles de prévision. C'est dans ce contexte que le projet BIOMASS est choisi par l'Agence spatiale européenne (ESA) comme une phase A du programme «Earth Core Mission». L'objectif de cette mission innovatrice est l'utilisation d'un système d'imagerie polarimétrique fonctionnant en bande P (435 MHz) pour la mesure de la biomasse forestière. La définition actuelle de la mission prévoit un mode tomographique rassurant une imagerie tri-dimentionnelle (3-D) de la forêt. Dans le cadre du projet BIOMASS, cette thèse de doctorat vise à développer une nouvelle stratégie pour la télédétection de la biomasse dans les forêts tropicales en utilisant des données multi-baseline acquises par le radar à ouverture synthétique (SAR) en bande P. Une approche originale consite à combiner la tomographie et le modèle RvoG (Random-Volume-over-Ground) établi et vérifié avec la technique PolInSAR (polarimetric SAR Interferometry). L'environnement forestier peut être décrit avec précision par un modèle polarimétrique multicouche (sol et succession de couches végétales). Une généralisation multi-baseline du modèle RVoG implique un certain nombre de paramètres qui peuvent être estimés à partir des données SAR en utilisant des méthodes spectrales haute résolution. Ainsi, une cartographie de la forêt et du sol peut être réalisée à l'aide de données tomographiques. De plus, la capacité des techniques tomographiques permet d'estimer la distribution verticale de la puissance rétrodiffusée. Ainsi, une information précise sur la biomasse peut être extraite de la puissance mesurée dans un domaine adapté à la couche de végétation. Cependant, cette puissance mesurée peut être fortement affectée par l'écho du sol dû à la contribution de double rebond. Et par suite, le principal défi peut être résumé par l'élaboration d'un nouvel estimateur de la biomasse forestière lié à une puissance rétrodiffusée mesurée avec une polarisation et un domaine vertical, tous les deux sont adaptés à la couche de végétation. Les algorithmes développés pour la cartographie de la forêt, l'estimation et la simulation de la biomasse sont appliqués et validés sur des données SAR aéroportées réalisées lors de la campagne TROPISAR en Guyane
Forested areas cover one third of earth's land surface and their contribution in the storage of carbon is decisive. Current studies show that the accurate knowledge of global forest biomass is necessary for the prediction of climate changes on the planet. In this context, the BIOMASS project is selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) as Phase A of the 'Earth Core Mission' program. This highly innovative mission consists of the use of a polarimetric imaging radar operating at P band (435 MHz) for the measurement of forest biomass. The current definition of the mission provides a three-dimensional imaging (3-D) of the forest with both tomographic and multi-pass interferometric modes. In the framework of this project, this PHD thesis aims to develop a novel strategy for the remote sensing of the biomass within the dense tropical forests by processing on multi-baseline P-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. An original approach combines the possibilities of 3-D exploration tomography and the Random-Volume- over-Ground (RVoG) model established and verified with PolInSAR technique (Polarimetric Interferometry SAR). The forested environment can be accurately described by a polarimetric multi-layer model (soil and a succession of vegetationlayers). A multi-baseline generalization of the RVoG model involves a certain number of parameters which must be estimated from radar observation data by using High- Resolution spectral estimation tomographic methods. Thereby, a cartography of the forest and its underlying ground can be made using tomographic data. Furthermore, the capacity of the tomographic techniques on 3-D imaging allows an estimation of the vertical distribution of the backscattered power. Thus, an accurate biomass information may be extracted from the power measured at a domain adapted to the canopy layer. However, this measured backscattered may be strongly affected by the ground echo due to the double bounce contribution. The main challenge of this thesis is to establish a novel biomass estimator related to a backscattered powermeasured with a polarimetric channel and at a vertical domain, both adapted to the canopy layer. The proposed algorithms of forest cartography and biomass estimation are applied and validated on Airborne P-band SAR data realized on the TROPISAR campaign in French Guyana

Abstract:

The main subject of the thesis is &ldquo
interpretation&rdquo
and &ldquo
presentation&rdquo
of cultural and natural heritage sites which is an important phenomenon providing sustainability and protection of the heritage sites. Interpretation and conservation are tightly associated to each other. Individuals will learn more about the heritage site by the help of interpretation and as a result of understanding
they will have an intention to protect the historic site more
and protection will ensure continuity of the site. Interpretation and presentation of heritage sites is put into the words in Turkish Legislation by the definition of &ldquo
Environmental Design Project&rdquo
in `Amendment Act No. 5226 Concerning to Revision of Legislation Called as Law Concerning to Conservation of Natural and Cultural Entities` in 2004. In the legislation, it is stated that Environmental Design Projects which propose strategies for effective presentation, control visitor use, provide promotion and advertisement, solve problems emerged as a result of current use and circulation and answer the needs of historic sites by contemporary tools and methods must be prepared for each heritage site in Turkey. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to define principles for effective interpretation and presentation on the selected case according to analysis and evaluations and then propose brand new comprehensive and complementary Environmental Design Project. The case selected in the thesis for the proposition of Environmental Design Project is Gö
reme Open Air Museum &ndash
GOAM in Cappadocia which is Turkey&rsquo
s third most visited open air museum after Ephesus in Izmir and Hierapolis in Denizli. The two main reasons for the selection of GOAM are absence of comprehensive and complementary Environmental Design Project in GOAM and insufficiency of current interpretive facilities and visitor services presented in the museum as indicated in the decisions of Nevsehir Regional Council for Conservation of Cultural Entities. Focusing on the aim, thesis is structured in three parts which are interconnected to each other as the theoretical background of the interpretation and presentation in the world and in Turkish legislations, analysis and evaluation of the selected case and finally preliminary decisions and project proposal. To conclude, &ldquo
Environmental Design Project&rdquo
is an important tool for understanding the significance of the museum and providing easygoing and enjoyable visit for the museum visitors according to the values, problems and potentials of GOAM. In that respect, proposing environmental design project is critical in order to satisfy visitor needs during their museum visit and provide safeguarding of GOAM.

Abstract:

I ett projektarbete i en ingenjörsutbildning används olika metoder och verktyg, för att planera och strukturera arbetet. En möjlighet är att använda fysiska projekttavlor. Det finns även interaktiva smartskärmar med uppkoppling till internet, som möjliggör arbete på distans. Detta arbete fokuserar på smartskärmen Samsung Flip 2, och undersöker om det går att använda den för projektarbeten i ingenjörsutbildningar. Projektet inleds med en förstudie, vars fokus är på whiteboardtavlor, planeringstavlor och interaktiva skärmar. Vidare utförs opinionsundersökningar med två olika studentgrupper. Med hjälp av de svar som erhållits, identifieras de funktioner som anses viktiga när projekttavlor används i utbildningen. Dessutom för- och nackdelar vägs för olika typer projekttavlor. En önskebild av en projekttavla, som är en samling av önskade egenskaper, tas fram baserad på förstudien och opinionsundersökningarna. Sedan testas mjukvaruverktygen Lucidchart, Notion, Trello och Jira i samband med smartskärmen Samsung Flip 2, för att se om det går att uppnå önskebilden. Resultaten av testningen används sedan för att utvärdera Samsung Flip 2. Det visar sig att den inte är en lämplig ersättning för en fysisk whiteboardtavla i projektarbeten. Utvärdering av andra smarskärmar och andra mjukvaruverktyg kan ge andra resultat.
In a project in an engineering education, different methods and tools are used, to plan and structure the work. One possibility is to use physical project boards. Another alternative is using an interactive smart-screen with access to the internet, which gives the opportunity to work remotely. This work focuses on the smart-screen Samsung Flip 2, and examines if it is possible to use it for projects in an engineering education. The project is initiated with a pre-study, where the focus is on whiteboards, project boards and interactive screens. Further on opinion polls are executed with two different student-groups. The answers help identify which functions that are important when project boards are used within the education, as well as pros and cons for different types of project boards. An ideal-picture of a project board, which is a collection of desired functionalities, is made based on the pre-study and opinion polls. After that the softwares Lucidchart, Notion, Trello and Jira are tested in combination with the smart-screen Samsung Flip 2, to see if it can fulfil the ideal-picture. The result from the tests is used to evaluate Samsung Flip 2. The evaluation shows that Samsung Flip 2 is not a suitable replacement for a physical whiteboard. Evaluations on other smart-boards and other softwares may yield a different result.

The purpose of this research is to study the portable or reassemblable architectures, which, different from conventional architecture (whose designs are of permanent buildings), corresponds to the designing of spaces with temporary purposes. The focus of the study is the architectural design of spaces that are produced from building systems that can to be moved to different places (process of assembly / disassembly / reassembly) in order to identify the types of spaces generated and the processes used in their design / projecting. The aim is to investigate relationships between the initial project conceived based on a Reassemblable Construction System (RCS) and its application in the architectural design of professionals and students in order to contribute to the understanding of the specificities of this type of design activity. To this end it was developed the exploratory research based on multimedia methods, which includes: documentary analysis, technical visits, interviews, surveys, academic exercise and documentation by images. Although the study is not conclusive, the results indicate significant differences between the point of view of the RCS?s designers and its users (architects and architecture students) since the users demonstrated to have some difficulty to access the features provided for the first group, in particular the students. It is also demonstrated that the use of RCSs seems to change the appreciation / hierarchization of the conditions of project design, since, unlike what happens in traditional architectural design, the designers who use them seem to be more concerned with constructive issues, especially the structural elements (support and covering), instead of functionality, aesthetics and even physical characteristics of the site

Busca-se investigar rela??es entre o projeto inicial concebido a partir de um sistema construtivo remont?vel (SCR) e sua aplica??o na projeta??o arquitet?nica por profissionais e estudantes, a fim de contribuir com elementos que auxiliem a compreender as especificidades desse tipo de atividade projetual.

Tamb?m se evidencia que o uso de SCRs parece alterar a valoriza??o/hierarquiza??o dos condicionantes projetuais, uma vez que, diferentemente do que acontece em projetos arquitet?nicos tradicionais, os projetistas que os usam aparentam maior preocupa??o com as quest?es construtivas, sobretudo os elementos estruturais (apoios e cobertura), em detrimento de funcionalidade, est?tica e mesmo caracter?sticas f?sicas do local

Abstract:

The Tibetan Plateau with an extent of about 2,5 million square kilometers at an average altitude higher than 4,700 meters has a significant impact on the Asian monsoon and regulates with its snow and ice reserves the upstream headwaters of seven major south-east Asian rivers. Upon the water supply of these rivers depend over 1,4 billion people, the agriculture, the economics, and the entire ecosystem in this region. As the increasing number of floods and droughts show, these seasonal water reserves however are likely to be influenced by climate change, with negative effects for the downstream water supply and subsequently the food security. The international cooperation project CEOP-AEGIS – funded by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program – aims as a result to improve the knowledge of the hydrology and meteorology of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau to further understand its role in climate, monsoon and increasing extreme meteorological events. Within the framework of this project, a large variety of earth observation datasets from remote sensing products, model outputs and in-situ ground station measurements are collected and evaluated. Any foreground products of CEOP-AEGIS will have to be made available to the scientific community by an online data repository which is a contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). The back-end of the CEOP-AEGIS Data Portal relies on a Dapper OPeNDAP web server that serves data stored in the NetCDF file format to a DChart client front-end as web-based user interface. Data from project partners are heterogeneous in its content, and also in its type of storage and metadata description. However NetCDF project output data and metadata has to be standardized and must follow international conventions to achieve a high level of interoperability. Out of these needs, the capabilities of NetCDF, OPeNDAP, Dapper and DChart were profoundly evaluated in order to take correct decisions for implementing a suitable and interoperable NetCDF data model for CEOP-AEGIS data that allows a maximum of compatibility and functionality to OPeNDAP and Dapper / DChart as well. This NetCDF implementation is part of a newly developed upstream data interface that converts and aggregates heterogeneous input data of project partners to standardized NetCDF datasets, so that they can be feed via OPeNDAP to the CEOP-AEGIS Data Portal based on the Dapper / DChart technology. A particular focus in the design of this data interface was set to an intermediate data and metadata representation that easily allows to modify its elements with the scope of achieving standardized NetCDF files in a simple way. Considering the extensive variety and amount of data within this project, it was essential to properly design a data interface that converts heterogeneous input data of project partners to standardized and aggregated NetCDF output files in order to ensure maximum compatibility and functionality within the CEOP-AEGIS Data Portal and subsequently interoperability within the scientific community
Das Hochplateau von Tibet mit einer Ausdehnung von 2.5 Millionen Quadratkilometer und einer durchschnittlichen Höhe von über 4 700 Meter beeinflusst wesentlich den asiatischen Monsun und reguliert mit seinen Schnee- und Eisreserven den Wasserhaushalt der Oberläufe der sieben wichtigsten Flüsse Südostasiens. Von diesem Wasserzufluss leben 1.4 Milliarden Menschen und hängt neben dem Ackerbau und der Wirtschaft das gesamte Ökosystem in dieser Gegend ab. Wie die zunehmende Zahl an Dürren und Überschwemmungen zeigt, sind diese jahreszeitlich beeinflussten Wasserreserven allen Anscheins nach vom Klimawandel betroffen, mit negativen Auswirkungen für die flussabwärts liegenden Stromgebiete und demzufolge die dortige Nahrungsmittelsicherheit. Das internationale Kooperationsprojekt CEOP-AEGIS – finanziert von der Europäischen Kommission unter dem Siebten Rahmenprogramm – hat sich deshalb zum Ziel gesetzt, die Hydrologie und Meteorologie dieses Hochplateaus weiter zu erforschen, um daraus seine Rolle in Bezug auf das Klima, den Monsun und den zunehmenden extremen Wetterereignissen tiefgreifender verstehen zu können. Im Rahmen dieses Projektes werden verschiedenartigste Erdbeobachtungsdaten von Fernerkundungssystemen, numerischen Simulationen und Bodenstationsmessungen gesammelt und ausgewertet. Sämtliche Endprodukte des CEOP-AEGIS Projektes werden der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft auf Grundlage einer über das Internet erreichbaren Datenbank zugänglich gemacht, welche eine Zuarbeit zur Initiative GEOSS (Global Earth Observing System of Systems) ist. Hintergründig basiert das CEOP-AEGIS Datenportal auf einem Dapper OPeNDAP Internetserver, welcher die im NetCDF Dateiformat gespeicherten Daten der vordergründigen internetbasierten DChart Benutzerschnittstelle auf Grundlage des OPeNDAP Protokolls bereit stellt. Eingangsdaten von Partnern dieses Projektes sind heterogen nicht nur in Bezug ihres Dateninhalts, sondern auch in Anbetracht ihrer Datenhaltung und Metadatenbeschreibung. Die Daten- und Metadatenhaltung der im NetCDF Dateiformat gespeicherten Endprodukte dieses Projektes müssen jedoch auf einer standardisierten Basis internationalen Konventionen folgen, damit ein hoher Grad an Interoperabilität erreicht werden kann. In Anbetracht dieser Qualitätsanforderungen wurden die technischen Möglichkeiten von NetCDF, OPeNDAP, Dapper und DChart in dieser Diplomarbeit gründlich untersucht, damit auf Grundlage dieser Erkenntnisse eine korrekte Entscheidung bezüglich der Implementierung eines für CEOP-AEGIS Daten passenden und interoperablen NetCDF Datenmodels abgeleitet werden kann, das eine maximale Kompatibilität und Funktionalität mit OPeNDAP und Dapper / DChart sicher stellen soll. Diese NetCDF Implementierung ist Bestandteil einer neu entwickelten Datenschnittstelle, welche heterogene Daten von Projektpartnern in standardisierte NetCDF Datensätze konvertiert und aggregiert, sodass diese mittels OPeNDAP dem auf der Dapper / DChart Technologie basierendem Datenportal von CEOP-AEGIS zugeführt werden können. Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt bei der Entwicklung dieser Datenschnittstelle wurde auf eine intermediäre Daten- und Metadatenhaltung gelegt, welche mit der Zielsetzung von geringem Arbeitsaufwand die Modifizierung ihrer Elemente und somit die Erzeugung von standardisierten NetCDF Dateien auf eine einfache Art und Weise erlaubt. In Anbetracht der beträchtlichen und verschiedenartigsten Geodaten dieses Projektes war es schlussendlich wesentlich, eine hochwertige Datenschnittstelle zur Überführung heterogener Eingangsdaten von Projektpartnern in standardisierte und aggregierte NetCDF Ausgansdateien zu entwickeln, um damit eine maximale Kompatibilität und Funktionalität mit dem CEOP-AEGIS Datenportal und daraus folgend ein hohes Maß an Interoperabilität innerhalb der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft erzielen zu können

Abstract:

Die Entwicklungsschübe der modernen Medien im 20. Jahrhundert haben die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen den Künsten, den Medien, den Sinnesmodalitäten, den verbalen und nonverbalen Ausdrucks- und Zeichenprozessen verstärkt und erweitert. Im Zuge dieser Entwicklungen sind Genre- und Formatfragen über das disziplinäre Interesse einzelner Kunst- und Medienwissenschaften hinaus ins Aufmerksamkeitsfeld einer vergleichenden Medienästhetik und -dramaturgie ge-rückt. Aufbauend auf den Erkenntnissen von Kalisch 2014, 2016 und den Überlegungen Gaudreaults 2009 zu einer Unterscheidung zwischen Narration und Monstration, ist es gelungen ein Modell zur Analyse von Werken unter dem Ausgangspunkt von Dramaturgie und Präsentationsstruktur herauszubilden, das für jedwedes dramaturgisch motiviertes und fiktionales Werk verwendet werden kann, unab-hängig vom Medium. Als Mittel zur Verdeutlichung der Thesen wird Horror als ästhetische Kategorie definiert, die einen direkten Einfluss auf die narrativen Strukturen eines Werkes besitzt, was den narrativ-monstrativen Doppelcharakter von Werken belegt und ferner verdeutlicht, dass Erzählung und Formung eines Werkes untrennbar verbunden sind. Die Dualität von Dramaturgie und Präsenta-tionsstruktur wird in der Formung eines Werkes offenbar. Um dies zu verdeutli-chen, werden im Verlauf der Arbeit kursorisch Beispiele von Werken mit Schre-ckensinhalten diskutiert und analysiert. Basierend auf diesem Modell wird eine Diskussion des Themenkomplexes von Intermedialität und Transmedialität im Spannungsverhältnis zur Komparistik der Künste durchgeführt. In der Folge wird eine Ästhetik des Schreckens diskutiert und anhand von ästhetischen Wertungskategorien aufgezeigt. Abschließend werden drei narrativ-motivierte Konzeptionen für dramaturgisch angetriebene Schre-ckensinszenierungen aufgeführt, die zur Kategorisierung von Werken angewendet werden können: düstere Präfiguration, düstere Konfiguration und düstere Manifestation.
The development in modern media during the 20th century (from movies over television to the hybrid forms of audiovisual and textual media in the internet) reveals interdependencies between art, media, the modalities of senses, the verbal and nonverbal dictions and semiotic processes that have evolved and expanded themselfes. According to this progress the interest in art and media studies should achive a collective interest in the changes of genre and formats, instead of a sepa-rated observation of only single disciplines. Following the Prolegomena on a comperative drama of media by Eleonore Ka-lisch (Kalisch 2014) and the thougts of André Gaudreault on Narration and Mon-stration (Gaudreault 2009) this thesis bulids a system to analyse works of fiction (e. g. movies, pictures, literature, video games). This system allows to analyse and compare works of fiction based on drama and presentation structure. The horror genre is used to show the mechanics of this system. Horror has a direct influence on the narrative structure of a work and manifests a duality of narration and mon-stration (Kalisch 2016), that binds drama and presentation to each other and shows the necessity of a separated consideration on both aspects. The duality of drama and presentation reveals itself during the modeling of a work of fiction. Build on the system the discourse is open to discuss intermetiality and transmedi-ality and their influence on the field of interest. Furthermore, an aesthetic of hor-ror is defined by evaluation categories of aesthetic indicators. In the end three types of narrativ driven concepts of horror are revealed and discussed: gloomy pre-figuaration, gloomy configuration and gloomy manifestation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a telehealth system, using digital pen-and-paper technology and a modified smartphone, to remotely monitor and support the effectiveness of wound management in nursing home residents. METHOD: A randomised controlled pilot study was conducted in selected nursing homes in Bradford, which were randomised to either the control or evaluation group. All patients with a wound of any aetiology or severity, resident in the selected nursing homes were considered eligible to participate in the study. Residents in the control homes who had, or developed, a wound during the study period, continued to receive unsupported care directed by the nursing home staff (defined as 'standard care'), while those in the evaluation homes received standard care supported by input from the remote experts. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients with a wound were identified in the 16 participating Bradford nursing homes. Analysis of individual patient management pathways suggested that the system provided improved patient outcomes and that it may offer cost savings by improving dressing product selection, decreasing inappropriate onward referral and speeding healing. Despite initial anxiety related to the technology most nursing-home staff found the system of value and many were keen to see the trial continue to form part of routine patient management. CONCLUSION: The current study supports the potential value of telemedicine in wound care and indicates the value that such a system may have to nursing-home staff and patients. DECLARATION OF INTEREST: This study was funded by a Regional Innovation Fund grant from the Yorkshire and Humberside Strategic Health Authority. The authors have no conflict of interest to declare with respect to the article or its contents.

Based on the “inner sight” view-point in the field of occupation, the purpose of this thesis is trying to plan with practical needs, the definition of the requirement with the object of the institutions related to the maritime management and the law enforcement authorities. The investigation of the resource for output and feedback to construct a feasible model of the application of ocean remote sensing techniques, using science to replace manpower, and obtain the whole object of the organization with the broad view of scientific administration. The Coast Guard Administration（CGA）of Executive Yuan is the highest national department that is authorized by laws and in charge of the affairs of the maritime patrol and maritime management. However, the CGA has difficulty to fulfill its institution goals because of some existing limitation, it would be a long way to obtain an effective administration with current capacity. As to the works of ocean environment protection that specified in the Maritime Patrol Law is currently still undeveloped. The main purpose of this study is to testify whether the application of the remote sensing techniques is available and further build a feasible framework in the field of maritime management and its law enforcement. This study attempts to integrate the ocean science techniques, policy analysis and strategy planning, combine theory and practice to establish an effective administrative model in maritime law enforcement. Some main results are：（1）As to the level of maritime law enforcement and management, the techniques of ocean remote sensing can be applied in the fields of ocean pollution monitoring, heat pollution monitoring, change of seashore areas, ship detection and high latitude areas sea ice forecasting and so on, but in the field of maritime surveillance, it is still not well-developed, especially in the decision-making supporting system in practical maritime management. （2）Based on the founding rights and policy of national ocean territory, the CGA should have source and capability to carry out the duty of the management and law enforcement in maritime environment. So the CGA can undertake the planning and implementing the subject “remote sensing techniques apply to the maritime surveillance”. According to the major goals of CGA, the law enforcement and maritime service and its 17 service items, we find that the ocean remote sensing mechanism is in the field of maritime service. Meanwhile, according to the Maritime Patrol law related to the protection of ocean environment, we also find that the ocean remote sensing is still inactive and undeveloped. So the constructing of this mechanism to apply in maritime law enforcement and coast management has its needs and necessity. （3）In view of the future vision of the organization, constructing of this system is necessary and it can be built up step-by-step through the strategic integration of all the possible supporting source and budget that can be provided by the other related organizations.
