Abstract:

Organizations are experiencing problems with the control of information in computer-based information systems. Records management is a system that consists of a number of elements to control recorded information over its life cycle. Previous studies have ranked various records management activities. However, these studies were not conducted in Australia, were not specifically related to computerbased information systems, and were based on the frequency with which records management tasks, or duties and responsibilities were being performed by records management personnel rather than the perceived importance of records management elements for overcoming problems. This study is conducted in Australia on the role of records management within the context of computer-based information systems. It has two purposes: to determine whether there is an appreciable difference in the perceived importance of the various records management elements for overcoming excessive quantity, poor quality and storage media problems in computer-based information systems by RMAA individual members; and to determine whether regardless of professional involvement and level of education of RMAA individual members, there is no statistically significant difference in the perceived importance of the various records management elements in computer-based information systems for overcoming these three problems. To carry out the research a questionnaire was devised and distributed to individual members of the Records Management Association of Australia. The survey obtained a usable response rate of 53.1 percent from a population of 399 individual members of the Association. The study indicated that there is a difference in the perceived importance of the various records management elements for overcoming excessive quantity, poor quality and storage media problems in computer-based information systems. There was evidence to suggest that respondents frequently involved in professional activities are more likely to consider certain records management elements more important than respondents not frequently involved in these activities. The study also found that level of education is associated with the selection of certain records management elements. In particular, those respondents with no tertiary qualifications are more likely to consider the records management elements mail management and a records retention and disposition schedule important than respondents with tertiary qualifications.

Abstract:

This work presents three methodologies based on the digital acquisition and treatment of image for quality control in the textile industry, being two related to the dimensional control, and one related to the control of the fabric dye. The dimensional control is necessary during the sanforization, stage in which occurs the daily pay-shrinking of the fabric, to the step that the coloration control is necessary during the Coloration. The first methodology consists of counting the number of pixels between two made marks in the fabric before the sanforization and to compare with the number of pixels between the same marks after the process. Of this form the percentage of shrinking of the fabric can be calculated from the difference of the number of pixels between the markings in the two images. The second methodology uses the fast Fourier transformed (FFT) to analyze the images in the domain of the frequency. By the difference of the frequencies of the images before and after the process the percentage of shrinking of the fabric is determined. This same FFT also can be used to count the number of trams of the fabric in the image. The third methodology consists on the comparative analysis of the histograms of colors (RGB) of samples of one same neighborhood to verify the homogeneity of the coloration of the fabric. All the methods in subject presented quite satisfactory results, with high reliability metric, mainly if compared to the current techniques, also demonstrating a high use potential in the industry for its easy adaptation in lines of fabric finishing for monitor and control on-line of processes. Este trabalho apresenta três metodologias baseadas na aquisição e tratamento digital de imagem para controle de qualidade na indústria têxtil, sendo duas relacionadas ao controle dimensional e uma relacionada ao controle de tingimento do tecido. O controle dimensional é necessário durante a sanforização, etapa na qual ocorre o pré-encolhimento do tecido, ao passo que o controle de coloração é necessário durante o tingimento. A primeira metodologia consiste em contar o número de pixels entre duas marcas feitas no tecido antes da sanforização e comparar com o número de pixels entre as mesmas marcas após o processo. Dessa forma, determina-se o percentual de encolhimento do tecido pela diferença do número de pixels entre as marcações nas duas imagens. A segunda metodologia utiliza a transformada rápida de Fourier (FFT) para analisar as imagens no domínio da freqüência. Pela diferença das freqüências das imagens antes e depois de passar pela sanforizadeira determina-se o percentual de encolhimento do tecido. Essa mesma FFT também pode ser utilizada para contar o número de tramas do tecido presentes na imagem. A terceira metodologia consiste na análise comparativa dos histogramas de cores nos canais Red, Green e Blue (RGB) de amostras de uma mesma vizinhança para verificar a homogeneidade da coloração do tecido. Todos os métodos em questão apresentaram resultados bastante satisfatórios, com elevada confiabilidade metrológica, principalmente se comparados às técnicas atuais, demonstrando também alto potencial de empregabilidade na indústria, por sua fácil adaptação em linhas de acabamento de tecidos para monitoramento e controle on-line de processos.

Abstract:

The Laser Flash Method has been considered by INMETRO, NPL, NIST, PTB and other organizations as a standard method for thermal diffusivity measurements. Despite its several advantages, inherent experimental features become obstacles to a coherent expression of the measurement results. In this work, an effective methodology for uncertainty evaluation of thermophysical properties measurements based on the laser flash method is presented. Such methodology is based on Monte Carlo Method (MCM) applied to a central thermal diffusion model that consider all real initial and boundary conditions form a physical model. As results, the material thermophysical properties and assign uncertainties are evaluated by a stochastic, dynamic and multivariate output model. The developed model and methodology was validated by standard samples Method carried out in the LMPT Laboratório de Medição de Propriedades Termofísicas (thermophysical properties measurement laboratory) of the Nuclear Technology Development Center (CDTN/CNEN - Brazil). The definition of a consistent and robust methodology to evaluate statistical properties involving multivariate input and multivariate output quantities of a generic model is the main result in this work. In a generic way, this methodological structure can perform the propagations of uncertainties of a central model for any real phenomenon or process. O método de Flash do Laser tem se consagrado como método padrão para medição das propriedades termofísicas de sólidos pelo INMETRO, NPL, NIST, PTB e outras organizações internacionais de metrologia. Apesar de inúmeras vantagens, características experimentais inerentes ao método tem se tornado obstáculos para uma coerente expressão do resultado de medição. Neste trabalho foi desenvolvida uma metodologia para avaliação de incertezas na medição de propriedades termofísicas pelo método Flash Laser. Aplicou-se o Método de Monte Carlo a um modelo central de difusão térmica, em meio sólido, considerando condições iniciais e de contorno reais de um modelo físico. Como resultados, as propriedades termofísicas do material e suas respectivas incertezas são estimadas utilizando um modelo estocástico dinâmico de saída multivariável. A validação da metodologia proposta foi realizada utilizando amostras padrão e os valores estimados para os parâmetros físicos associados ao Laboratório de Medições de Propriedades Termofísicas - LMTP do Centro de Desenvolvimento da Tecnologia Nuclear CDTN. O resultado final deste trabalho é a definição de uma coerente e robusta metodologia para avaliação de propriedades estatísticas e propagação de distribuições envolvendo modelos com múltiplos parâmetros de entrada e múltiplas saídas. De uma forma generalizada, esta estrutura metodológica pode realizar a propagação de incertezas de um modelo matemático central para qualquer fenômeno ou processo real.

Abstract:

In periodontology the gingival tissue, peripheral blood flow and crevicular gingival fluid (which normally comes out of the gingival socket) are the most important immune barriers acting as defense mechanisms at the front door for peridontal disease. The purpose of this study is to present a non invasive and safe activation of the immune system during the beginning process of periodontal disease associated to dental plaque, by stimulating the gingival tissue through low intensity laser at two different waves lengths and observing the changes in the gingival crevicular fluid drained from normal gingival tissues. Thirty volunteers were selected for this study, with ages between 18 and 60 years old, with clinically normal dental and periodontal structures. Six frontal interdental gingival areas were selected from each patient being 3 areas at the jawbone and 3 areas at the mandible. At the jawbone, one area did not receive any kind of radiation, one area was submitted to low intensity laser irradiation of . = 780 nm and one area submitted to laser irradiation of . = 680 nm. The same procedure was repeated for the mandible. The protocol used 40mW of power (spot area of 0,04 cm2) for the different types of laser, with irradiation time of two and a half minutes resulting on a dose of 150 J/cm2. The changes of the gingival tissues after the laser irradiation with 2 different wave lengths where observed and analyzed: the cellular components of the gingival crevicular fluid (neutrophils and macrophages) the volume change of the fluid measured by Periotron and temperature variations (due to the increase of the blood flow) registered by a thermocamera. Based on the results we can conclude that: about variations of volume and cellular presence, the lasers of low intensity emission infrared (. = 780 nm) and red (. = 680 nm), at the conditions of the present study, promoted an increase of the drained gingival crevicular fluid and an increase of number of macrophages present in its composition, but only the red laser promoted a decrease of the neutrophils present in its composition. The temperature variation tests indicated that the use of the low intensity laser on the gingival tissues caused and average change of only 0,5º C, not causing thermal damage.Key words: Low Level Laser intensity, gingival Nesta area da periodontia em que se situam os tecidos gengivais, a circulacao sanguinea periferica do periodonto e o liquido sulcular gengival (proveniente do sulco gengival) sao as duas importantes barreiras imunologicas que atuam na defesa dessa regiao, que e, por excelencia, a porta de entrada e instalacao da doenca periodontal. O presente estudo objetiva avaliar a utilizacao de uma conduta conservadora, nao invasiva, de ativacao da barreira imunologica contra a instalacao da doenca periodontal associada a placa bacteriana, estimulando o tecido gengival atraves da aplicacao do laser em baixa intensidade utilizando dois comprimentos de onda diferentes, avaliando as alteracoes ocorridas no fluido sulcular gengival drenado de tecidos gengivais clinicamente normais submetidos a radiacao laser em baixa intensidade. Para este estudo foram selecionados 30 voluntarios, com idade entre 18 e 60 anos, com estruturas dentais e periodontais clinicamente normais. Foram selecionadas 6 areas gengivais interproximais anteriores de cada voluntario sendo 3 na maxila e 3 na mandibula. Na maxila , uma area nao recebeu nenhum tipo de irradiacao, uma area foi submetida a irradiacao laser de baixa intensidade de É = 780 nm e uma area foi submetida a irradiacao laser de É = 680 nm. O mesmo procedimento se repetiu para a mandibula. O protocolo utilizado constou de potencia de 40 mW (area de spot de 0,04 cm2) para os diferentes tipos de feixe laser, com tempo de irradiacao de dois minutos e meio resultando numa dose de 150 J/cm2. Baseado nos conhecimentos do comportamento dos tecidos gengivais e apos a irradiacao laser em dois comprimentos de onda, foram observados e analisados: 1) o conteudo do fluido sulcular gengival coletado avaliando sua composicao celular (Neutrofilos e Macrofagos), 2) a variacao da quantidade de volume do fluido medida pelo Periotron e 3) as variacoes de temperatura justificados pelo aumento de irrigacao sanguinea, registradas por uma termocamera. Baseando-se nos resultados pode-se concluir que: nas comparacoes entre variacoes de volume e presenca celular, os lasers de baixa intensidade de emissao infravermelha (É = 780 nm) e vermelha (É = 680 nm), nas condicoes do presente estudo, promoveram o aumento de volume do fluido sulcular gengival drenado como tambem o aumento do numero de macrofagos presentes em sua composicao, mas somente o laser vermelho (É = 680 nm) promoveu uma reducao no numero de neutrofilos presentes em sua composicao. Os testes de variacao de temperatura indicaram que a aplicacao dos lasers de baixa intensidade sobre os tecidos gengivais promoveram uma mudanca media menor que 0,5o C, nao ocasionando dano termico.

Abstract:

The objective of this essay is to use digital models predictors for echelon of a supply chain of pharmacist products and cosmetics, mainly for FMX Company that represents the weak echelon of the chain. The methodology is based on control systems and allows us to gain valuable insights into the dynamic behavior of supply chain replenishment rules. Also introduce engineering control concepts to quantify the variance amplification bullwhip effect (Forrester Effect) or variance reduction and in consequence the decreasing inventories throughout the chain, making it competitive. The applied methodology was the case study, within two echelons of the chain through real data and composed of up to and out order, it means, orders from an echelon down to and up to another one. At the end signaling demands were compared with and without filters, indifferent echelons, as well as the influence of the professional that is in charge of signaling the demand. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo utilizar modelos digitais na previsão de demanda para elos de uma cadeia de suprimentos de produtos farmacêuticos e de cosméticos, principalmente para a empresa FMX, que se constitui no elo fraco da cadeia. A metodologia está baseada em sistema de controle que cria e permite ganhar habilidades no conhecimento dinâmico em cadeia de suprimento e regras de reabastecimento. Também introduz conceitos da área de engenharia de controle para quantificar o efeito de chicoteamento (efeito Forrester), redução da variância da demanda e, como conseqüência, o enxugamento de estoques ao longo da cadeia de suprimentos, tornando-a competitiva. A metodologia utilizada foi o Estudo de Caso, em dois elos da cadeia, através de dados reais, constituídos de demandas de entrada e de saída, ou seja, pedidos de elo a jusante para elo a montante e vice versa ao longo da cadeia. Ao final foram comparadas as sinalizações de demandas (previsões de demanda) com e sem filtros em diferentes elos, assim como a influência do profissional que decide ao sinalizar a demanda.

Abstract:

Under 1990-talet accelererade avvecklingen av det fasta kustartilleriet. Det skedde samtidigt med implementeringen av Revolution in Military Affairs(RMA)-konceptet i Sverige, snabb militärteknisk utvecklingen och Försvarsmaktens omställning från en stor organisation med lång mobilisering till insatsförsvar med hög beredskap. Syftet med studien är att med hjälp av argumentationsanalys och kvalitativ textanalys, studera relationen mellan RMA och avvecklingen av fasta kustartilleriet, genom analys av Kungliga Krigsvetenskaps Akademiens Handlingar och Tidskrifter. Resultatet visar att fast kustartilleri spelar en viktig roll även i en värld präglad av RMA och modern teknologi. Det fasta kustartilleriet ersattes av rörligt. Även detta avvecklades i förtid. During the 1990´s the liquidation of coastal fortifications accelerated. During the same period of time the concept of Revolution in Military Affairs is being implemented in Sweden, military technology is rapidly evolving and Swedish Armed Forces is transforming its organization from a large quantity - long mobilization, to a small mission-based armed force with high response. The purpose of the study is to analyze the relation between RMA and the liquidation of the coastal fortifications, through argumentative analysis and qualitative text analysis, by studying the publications of the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences. The result shows that costal fortifications are important even in a world characterized by RMA and modern technology. The costal fortifications were replaced by mobile units. They got liquidated before there time as well.

It is about a research characterized as a quali-quantitative study of case, a documental, empirical research, whose main objective was to analyse the public policies of continuing education offered to the instructor of this teaching network by the formative actions developed by the Anápolis Formation Centre of Education Professionals (Cefope, in Portuguese), the main environment of concretizing of these public policies in the city and the very locus of our research. Such investigation was given under the optics of the national guidelines for continuing Education offered to them. The specific objectives of this work were: identifying the actions of continuing education executed in the Anápolis Municipal Network of Education (in Portuguese, Rmea) and relating them to what is preconized in federal level; analysing the profile of the teachers of Rmea concerning the frequency, conclusion and participation or not in the Cefope courses; analysing the case of the teachers which already got the maxima workload which is required to the entitlement predicted in the Statute and Plan of Carrier and Remuneration of the Anápolis Public, Municipal Training of Teachers, their relation with the continuing education, their working locus and the way how it is concretized in the policy of public incentive to the continuing education in Rmea and relating the continuing education which is realized in Cefope to the guidelines of continuing education of the federal government. The documental research was based in the Cefope archives; in the Statute and Plan of Carrier and Remuneration of the Anápolis Public, Municipal Training of Teachers and in all the electronic archives of the Education Ministry (in Portuguese, MEC), Official Union Diary, Civil Cabinet and the Legislation Virtual Portal of the Federal Government. The empirical research was materialized by the application of questionnaires in all the 65 schools which has the early series of Rmea, totalizing 685 professors, and objecting to investigate the evaluation of these ones concerning the actions of continued education of Cefope. From this total of teachers, 590 answered the questionnaires, there is, we worked with a data analysis arising from 86% of the active teachers of the initial series of Rmea. The results of the research indicate a scenario of disputes, in a federal level, concerning the proposals of standardizing of continuing education. In the context of the city of Anápolis, the policies of continuing formation of teachers are being materialized almost completely in Cefope, and this fact brings some positive and some contradictory aspects to the matter, both stated in our work, as, for example, the fact that some Rmea teachers reach the maxima entitlement without having ever concluded a course in this formation centre. The research revealed the way how the continuing education offered by Cefope is seen by its audience: the teachers of Rmea. Furthermore, it also signalized some intersections between the formation policies developed in Rmea and what is preconized in the federal level. Este trabalho, initulado Políticas de Formação Continuada de Professores: um estudo de caso da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Anápolis, está inserido na linha de pesquisa Estado, Políticas e História da Educação, do Programa de Pós-Graduação da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Trata-se de uma pesquisa caracterizada como estudo de caso quali-quantitativo, documental e empírica, cujo objetivo principal foi analisar as políticas públicas de formação continuada oferecidas aos docentes dessa rede de ensino, por meio das ações formativas desenvolvidas pelo Centro de Formação dos Profissionais em Educação de Anápolis (Cefope), principal ambiente de concretização destas políticas públicas no município e lócus de nossa pesquisa. Tal investigação deu-se sob a ótica das diretrizes nacionais de formação continuada e da avaliação que os docentes dessa rede fazem da formação continuada a eles oferecida. Os objetivos específicos deste trabalho foram: identificar as ações de formação continuada executadas na Rede Municipal de Ensino de Anápolis (Rmea) e relacioná-las com o preconizado em nível federal; analisar o perfil dos professores da Rmea no que tange à frequência, conclusão e participação ou não nos cursos do Cefope; analisar o caso dos professores que já obtiveram a carga horária máxima para titularidade prevista no Estatuto e Plano de Carreira e Remuneração do Magistério Público Municipal de Anápolis, a relação deles com a formação continuada, seu lócus de trabalho e a forma como se concretiza a política de incentivo à formação continuada na Rmea e relacionar a formação continuada realizada no Cefope com as diretrizes de formação continuada do governo federal. A pesquisa documental foi baseada nos arquivos do Cefope; no Estatuto e Plano de Carreira e Remuneração do Magistério Público Municipal de Anápolis e nos arquivos eletrônicos do Ministério da Educação (MEC), Diário Oficial da União, Casa Civil e Portal de Legislação do Governo Federal. A pesquisa empírica materializou-se por meio da aplicação de questionários em todas as 65 unidades escolares com anos iniciais da Rmea, totalizando 685 professores, e objetivou apurar a avaliação destes acerca das ações de formação continuada do Cefope. Desse total de professores, 590 devolveram os questionários respondidos, ou seja, trabalhamos com a análise de dados provenientes de 86% dos professores atuantes nos anos iniciais da Rmea. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para um cenário de disputas, em nível federal, no que tange às propostas de normatização da formação continuada. No contexto do município de Anápolis, as políticas de formação continuada de professores se materializam em quase sua totalidade no Cefope, e esse fato traz consigo alguns aspectos positivos e outros contraditórios, ambos ressaltados em nosso trabalho, como, por exemplo, o fato de professores da Rmea alcançarem a titularidade máxima sem nunca terem concluído um curso nesse centro de formação. A pesquisa revelou a forma como a formação continuada oferecida pelo Cefope é vista pelo seu público-alvo: os docentes da Rmea. Além disso, ela também sinalizou intersecções entre as políticas de formação desenvolvidas na Rmea e o que é preconizado em nível federal.

Abstract:

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar como os determinantes socioeconômicos contextuais influenciaram na produção e no fortalecimento de tendências criminogênicas, entre os municípios da Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre, mediante a utilização de análises multivariadas entre anos de 1991 e 2000. Buscamos construir um modelo empírico causal para avaliar as questões indicadas e também captar em que medida as transformações qualitativas que a criminalidade vem sofrendo - em decorrência de mudanças macro-estruturais de caráter mais amplo - têm penetrado nos municípios da RMPA. Para tanto, nos servimos de técnicas estatísticas de análise de regressões múltiplas para captar nexos causais entre as variáveis independentes e dependentes em modelos longitudinais. Também utilizamos alguns modelos transversais para os referidos anos, com o objetivo de perceber as covariações entre as variáveis selecionadas. Os resultados obtidos nas regressões foram interpretados a partir de uma série de perspectivas teóricas que tratam do fenômeno da criminalidade. Para avaliar os dados obtidos utilizamos, principalmente, a perspectiva da transição etiológica da criminalidade. A análise tem como suas variáveis dependentes às taxas de apenados por delitos selecionados. Dentre os resultados que alcançamos podemos indicar a constatação da relação entre uma forma nova da desorganização social e o avanço de grupos criminosos. Contudo, os resultados obtidos devem servir principalmente para a ampliação de estudos de mesmo perfil teórico e metodológico. The goal of this research is to examine the influence that contextual socioeconomic factors had in producing and strengthening criminogenic tendencies among municipalities in the Porto Alegre metropolitan area, by means of multi-varied analyses for the years between 1991 and 2000. We sought to build a causal empirical model to evaluate the issues listed and also to determine the extent to which the qualitative changes that crime has been undergoing - as a result of macro-structural changes of a broader nature - have penetrated the municipalities in the Porto Alegre metropolitan area. To this end, we employed statistical techniques of multiple regression analysis to determine causal links between independent and dependent variables in longitudinal models. We also used some transversal models for the years in question in order to perceive the covariations between the selected variables. The results obtained in the regressions were interpreted from a number of theoretical perspectives that address the phenomenon of crime. To evaluate the data we mainly used the perspective of the etiological transition of crime. The dependent variables of the analysis are the conviction rates for selected crimes. Among the results we came to, we can confirm the relationship between a new form of social disorganization and the advancement of criminal groups. However, the results obtained should serve mainly to increase further studies of the same theoretical and methodological profile.

Abstract:

The last two decades have changed the society from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. The technological development, especially in IT, has caused a ”Revolution in Military Affairs”. However; how big are the changes RMA will give, or will it even change the foundation of the Art of War and if so, in what way? RMA has three cornerstones DBA, DS and PE all closely integrated in an NCW-concept. In future armed conflicts, the RMA-force will decisively achieve the objectives of military operations through information and C2 advantages over the adversary. The advantages will enable the force to choose where, when and how to engage the opponent. The RMA also has great influence on the Armed Forces in Sweden. Under a different name, “den nya krigföringen” Sweden will implement the RMA-intentions in the Armed Forces suited for Swedish conditions. Sweden will not develop a world-wide but a local or regional RMA.The Visby class corvette is developed to meet the future requirement in the maritime environment. The unique hull construction gives Visby a multipurpose capability never seen before. The ship has high survivability and good manoeuvrability. A comparison between the Visby and RMA directed Armed Forces indicates that the vessel in all essentials meets the requirements posed. However, some crucial aspects remain to be solved, for example how will communication, in order to contribute to DBA, take place, without risking the safety of the vessel.

Abstract:

P. aerguinosa is a serious human bacterial pathogen. This thesis describes attempts to use structural biology to identify new starting points for drugs against P. aerguinosa .A number of fragment-based screening techniques were used in order to identify potential inhibitors to P. aerguinosa RmlA protein, the first enzyme in the L-Rhamnose pathway. A 500 “Rule of 3” Fragment Library (Maybridge) was investigated. The first approach was the application of Differential Scanning Fluorimetry (DSF) approach to detect ligands that bind and stabilize RmlA protein. The stabilisation of RmlA was determined by thermal unfolding in the presence of each of the 500 compounds. 21 of those compounds were found to increase the protein stability. The library was then screened by NMR spectroscopy for binding to RmlA. Two techniques were evaluated STD and WaterLOGSY. 106 compounds gave positive results in both NMR experiments. These hits were then tested by a simple STD competition binding with dTTP, a natural RmlA substrate, in order to identify those binding at the active or allosteric site. 21 out of the 106 compounds were observed to compete with dTTP. The results were compared to the results of the DSF screening. Compounds that tested positive in the dTTP competition binding STD experiment and in the DSF screening were tested for their ability to inhibit RmlA in a biological assay. A coupled enzyme assay was used to monitor RmlA activity. Only one compound, 3-pyridin-3-ylaniline, showed significant inhibition of the enzyme activity. The PA1645 protein from P. aerguinosa has been identified as essential. The protein was overexpressed, purified and crystallised. Data were collected at Diamond on beamline IO3 and phases were determined by S-SAD at a wavelength of 1.6Å. Final coordinates have been deposited in the protein data bank under entry code 2XU8. The structure has 3 molecules in the asymmetric unit. There is some ambiguity as to the validity of the proposed trimeric arrangement, with results from solution and crystal disagreeing. Fragment-based screening approach has been applied to RmlA protein, using the DSF technique, a number of ligand-based NMR experiments and a coupled enzyme biological assay. 3-pyridin-3-ylaniline was the only compound that showed significant inhibition of the enzyme activity. The structure of PA1645 from P. aerguinosa has been solved. This work will help to design new drugs to combat multi-drug resistant P. aerguinosa and MTB.

Abstract:

O presente artigo analisa uma das propostas mais consolidadas de mecanismo de gestão pública participativa em nível local: o orçamento participativo (doravante OP). Mas, apesar da riqueza de abordagens e a diversidade de estudos sobre as principais propostas de OP, tanto no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, quanto outras propostas em nível nacional e internacional, observou-se uma lacuna nesta literatura: trabalhos que incorporassem pesquisas regionais a esse respeito. Apoiado em uma breve contextualização dos modelos de administração pública pelo mundo e no Brasil, por uma bibliografia que indica a relação intrínseca entre gestão pública participativa (GPP) e o orçamento participativo (OP) e, na brecha encontrada de estudos de caso regionais, este artigo busca descrever as propostas de OP na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre (doravante RMPA), zona de concentração de rendimentos, translado de população, mas também de muita desigualdade social. Questiona-se assim a efetividade de propostas locais de OP para desenvolvimento de gestões mais democráticas e participativas. A partir de um panorama geral da RMPA, de uma radiografia dos municípios com OP na região, bem como análise de seu desenho institucional no período de 2009 a 2012, buscou-se compreender as características da gestão pública participativa nas administrações locais. A análise de seu funcionamento em 10 (dez) prefeituras diferentes, revelou as limitações de um mecanismo de gestão na intenção de mudar todo um aparato burocrático que estrutura o país. Porém, iniciativas como as da RMPA merecem destaque e não devem ser esquecidas ou excluídas, seja por mudanças partidárias (falta de vontade política) ou dificuldades financeiras e falta de investimentos. Os resultados dessa análise visam apresentar o estágio atual de desenvolvimento desses mecanismos de inclusão dos cidadãos nas decisões sobre o orçamento municipal. In the following essay, I shall analyze one of the most consolidated mechanisms of participatory public administration at local level: the participatory budgeting (PB). Despite the abundance of approaches and the diversity of studies about the main PB proposals, either in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, as others proposals at national and international levels, it is evident the existence of a gap in this literature: the lack of studies that incorporate regional research. Supported by a brief explanation on the models of public administration around the world – and especially in Brazil – made trough a literature that indicates the inherent relation between participatory public administration and participatory budgeting (PB), and also encouraged by the lack of regional studies, this essay shall describe the PB proposals in the Porto Alegre Metropolitan Area – a region characterized by income concentration, population flux, and also social inequality. I question the effectiveness of the local PB proposals for the development of more democratic and participatory administrations. Starting from a general view of Porto Alegre Metropolitan Area (a description of the cities with PB in the area, as well as an analysis of their institutional framework in the 2009-2012 period), I aim to identify the characteristics of the participatory public administration in the local governments. The analysis of how PB works in 10 (ten) different cities reveals the limitations of this administration mechanism at its capacity of changing an entire bureaucratic apparatus that frames the country. However, initiatives like that of Porto Alegre Metropolitan Area deserve to be recognized and they should not be excluded or forgotten, either because of party changes (lack of political will) or financial difficulties and lack of investments. The results of this analysis aim to present the current stage of development of these mechanisms of citizen inclusion in the municipal budgeting.

Abstract:

Na pesquisa apresentada neste trabalho buscaremos apontar os diferentes aspectos possíveis da dinâmica espacial que se estabelece na paisagem, entre o rural e o urbano. De que maneira podemos identificar os elementos geográficos da paisagem que tensionam as interfaces entre a área urbana e a área rural? Tomando como objeto de estudo a BR 4481, através do trabalho de campo, da cartografia e do referencial teórico, e utilizando a paisagem como categoria de análise, apontaremos os possíveis aspectos que revelam a relação entre rural e urbano presente na paisagem, identificando os elementos que se apresentam no espaço geográfico onde a estrada foi implantada. Para compreender estas dinâmicas nos valeremos de teorias sobre percepção, espaço social, ruralidades e urbanidades, identidade através da paisagem, gestão e planejamento dos espaços urbano e rural. Os aspectos da paisagem destes espaços, seus conflitos, suas contradições e a própria construção do urbano no Brasil serão analisados tomando como base o processo histórico, desde o surgimento das regiões metropolitanas brasileiras e suas implicações na ocupação do espaço, até os dias de hoje. Com base nesse cabedal teórico, buscaremos uma compreensão da relação entre rural e urbano no Brasil, para que possa, então, determinar as diferenças entre Unidades de Paisagem Urbana e Unidades de Paisagem Rural. O aporte teórico será o subsídio para encontrar, através da metodologia proposta, a identificação das diferentes Unidades de Paisagem presentes na área a ser pesquisada. Na identificação das Unidades de Paisagem serão consideradas a forma, a função, a estrutura e a dinâmica da paisagem. In the research presented in this paper, the different possible aspects of the spatial dynamics that are established in the landscape, between the rural and the urban will be pointed out. How could the geographical elements of the landscape that stress the interfaces between the urban area and the rural area be identified? Taking as object of study the BR 4482, through field work, mapping and theoretical framework, and using the landscape as category analysis, the possible aspects that reveal the relationship between the rural and urban present in the landscape will be pointed out, identifying the elements present in the geographical area where the road was implanted. To understand these dynamics, theories about perception, social space, ruralities and urbanities, identity through the landscape, urban and rural planning and management will be used. These areas landscape aspects, their conflicts, their contradictions and the urban construction in Brazil will be analyzed based on the historical process, from the emergence of the Brazilian metropolitan regions and their implications on the area occupation, up to the present. Based on this theoretical background, an understanding of the relationship between rural and urban in Brazil is searched, so that it can determine the differences between Urban Landscape Units and Rural Landscape Units. The theoretical contribution will be the subsidy to find, through the proposed methodology, the identification of the different Landscape Units present in the researched area. In order to identify the Landscape Units, shape, function, structure and landscape dynamics will be considered.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine if numerical models commonly used for large scale applications could also be used to model flow through flood control structures in the Rigolets Pass between Lake Borgne and Lake Pontchartrain. For this purpose a small scale physical model was built. It showed that bi-stable flow can develop downstream of a constriction. Small changes in the distribution of the approaching flow significantly impacted flows downstream of the constriction. This behavior could not be properly reproduced by a small scale 2-dimensional RMA2 model of identical dimensions. A large scale RMA2 model of the Rigolets testing possible locations and geometries of flood control structures showed that this pass is very sensitive to variations in the cross sectional flow area. Even minor reductions can significantly increase headlosses and velocities. To reduce negative impacts a flood control structure should be built in a wide and shallow area of the pass.

Full text

Abstract:

Streptomyceten weisen einen komplexen Lebenszyklus auf, dessen Verlauf durch den sekundären Botenstoff Bis-(3´- 5´)-zyklisches dimeres Guanosinmonophosphat (c-di-GMP) und die c-di-GMP-Effektorproteine BldD und RsiG reguliert wird. Der Auf- bzw. Abbau von c-di-GMP wird von Diguanylatzyklasen (DGC) mit GGDEF-Domänen bzw. Phosphodiesterasen (PDE) mit EAL- oder HD-GYP-Domänen katalysiert. In S. venezuelae, einem Modellorganismus der Streptomyceten, konnten zehn potenziell c-di-GMP metabolisierende Enzyme identifiziert werden, von welchen mit RmdA und RmdB zwei GGDEF-EAL-Tandem-Proteine im Fokus dieser Arbeit stehen. Die chromosomale Deletion der für RmdA und RmdB kodierenden Gene führt zu einer ausgeprägten Verzögerung der Entwicklung in S. venezuelae. Mit Hilfe chromosomaler Mutationen konnten die EAL-Motive der EAL-Domänen als essenziell für die in vivo Funktion beider Proteine identifiziert werden. Beide Proteine zeigen in vitro PDE-Aktivität und RmdA konnte als bifunktionales Enzym charakterisiert werden, da es in vitro auch DGC-Aktivität aufweist. Mittels Nukleotidextraktionen konnte RmdB als Haupt-PDE in S. venezuelae identifiziert werden, welche über den gesamten Entwicklungsverlauf für den Abbau von c-di-GMP verantwortlich ist. Aber auch RmdA hat während des Übergangs von der vegetativen zur reproduktiven Wachstumsphase Einfluss auf die globale zelluläre c-di-GMP Konzentration. Durchgeführte Transkriptomanalysen und qRT-PCR-Experimente ergaben, dass in den Deletionsmutanten die Expression einiger wichtiger entwicklungsspezifischer Gene im Vergleich zum Wildtyp herunterreguliert ist. Dies ist vermutlich auf die erhöhten c-di-GMP Konzentrationen in den Deletionsmutanten zurückzuführen, wodurch die Aktivität der c-di-GMP-Effektorproteine BldD und RsiG beeinflusst wird und die verzögerte Entwicklung der Deletionsmutanten erklärt werden kann. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden, dass RmdB mit dem Sigmafaktor der Sporulation, WhiG, interagieren kann. Streptomycetes show a complex life cycle. The transition between the different developmental stages is regulated by the secondary messenger bis- (3´- 5´) -cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) and the c-di-GMP effector proteins BldD and RsiG. c-di-GMP is synthesized by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) with GGDEF domains, and its degradation is catalyzed by phosphodiesterases (PDE) with EAL or HD-GYP domains. In S. venezuelae, the Streptomyces strain which was used as a model organism in this work, there are ten potentially c-di-GMP metabolizing enzymes, of which two GGDEF-EAL tandem proteins, RmdA and RmdB, are the focus of this work. The deletion of the genes coding for RmdA and RmdB leads to a pronounced developmental delay in S. venezuelae. With the help of chromosomal mutations, the EAL motif was identified as essential for the in vivo function of RmdA and RmdB. Furthermore, both proteins were characterized in vitro as active PDEs and RmdA as a bifunctional enzyme, which also showed DGC activity. RmdB was identified as the master PDE in S. venezuelae by means of nucleotide extraction and is responsible for the hydrolysis of c-di-GMP over the course of development investigated. Also RmdA has an influence on the global cellular c-di-GMP concentration during the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive growth phase. A transcriptome analysis, qRT-PCR experiments and related follow-up experiments showed that the deletion of rmdA and rmdB leads to a differential expression of genes which code for important development-specific factors and regulators. This is presumably due to the increased c-di-GMP concentrations in the deletion mutants, with the c-di-GMP effector proteins BldD and RsiG delaying the transition to the next growth phase. Furthermore, it could be shown that RmdB can interact with the sigma factor of sporulation, WhiG.

O desenvolvimento de um Índice de Mobilidade Sustentável (IMS) que representasse os principais impactos da mobilidade na sustentabilidade e na qualidade de vida urbanas foi a motivação deste estudo. Através da revisão bibliográfica de sustentabilidade, qualidade de vida e mobilidade, selecionou-se um conjunto de indicadores a partir de três critérios decisivos: a disponibilidade de dados, a periodicidade anual e que estes não gerassem ônus às prefeituras para a construção do Índice. O IMS foi aplicado em dez municípios da Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre revelando as deficiências no planejamento e na gestão da mobilidade na Região. Em nível municipal mostrou a fragilidade do poder público diante das operadoras do transporte coletivo urbano e a ausência de diretrizes de promoção do transporte não-motorizado. Na análise geral, pode-se dizer que o IMS respondeu satisfatoriamente aos objetivos, ou seja, de ser um marco de referência, um ponto de partida para iniciar a mensuração da sustentabilidade da mobilidade e, com isso, identificar as prioridades do planejamento urbano regional neste setor. The development of a Sustainable Moblity Index (SMI) which could represent the major impacts of sustainable mobility and quality of urban life was the motivation of this study. Analyzing the sustainability, quality of life and mobility literature, a group of indicators were selected in order to create a rate. Moreover, during the construction process the available data was crucial to formulate the system and to enable an annual measurement which doesn’t generate cost for the cities. The SMI when applied in ten cities from the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre showed the lack of mobility planning and management in this region as a whole. And in city scale has showed the weakness of the government face to public transportation companies and the lack of guidelines to promote a non-motorized transportation. Overall, it’s possible to say that the SMI reached its objectives, being a reference mark, the first steep to start measuring the sustainable mobility in order to identify the priorities of regional urban planning.

Abstract:

A dissertação aborda as dimensões econômica e morfológica da organização espacial da atividade industrial na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre - RMPA, propondo interfaces entre a Ciência Econômica e o Planejamento Urbano e Regional. O objetivo da pesquisa consiste em identificar se e como as propriedades morfológicas das redes de circulação urbana e rodoviária são capazes de informar tendências em processos de organização espacial da atividade industrial em ambientes urbanos. Neste sentido, foi realizado um estudo de caso multidimensional e multiescalar a partir de cinco recortes espaciais de cinco municípios da RMPA – Alvorada, Cachoeirinha, Gravataí, Porto Alegre e Viamão – e seus complexos industriais, áreas contínuas de zoneamento funcional destinados à indústria. A hipótese é de que os potenciais de movimento e as probabilidades de fluxo, depreendidas por medidas de centralidade morfológicas e espaciais captam padrões locacionais e de organização espacial das atividades industriais. Isto é verificado a partir da correlação geoestatística entre análises configuracionais da rede de circulação urbana, apoiadas nas concepções teórico-metodológicas da sintaxe espacial, e as análises econômico-locacionais, da localização das estruturas industriais, fundamentadas nas teorias econômicas. Os resultados dispostos permitiram concluir que existem correlações estatísticas significativas entre a lógica de organização espacial da indústria em áreas urbanas e as propriedades morfológicas multiescalares da configuração espacial da rede de circulação urbana, indicando que hierarquias de centralidade morfológica, informando potenciais de movimento e probabilidades de fluxo na rede urbana de circulação, captam tendências do processo de organização produtiva. Dissertation addresses the economical and morphological dimensions of industrial activities spatial organization in the Porto Alegre’s Metropolitan Region – PAMR, proposing interfaces between Economic Science and Urban and Regional Planning. The research objective is to describe and analyse if and how the morphological properties of road and circulation urban networks are able to inform trends about the industrial activities spatial organization processes in urban areas. The empirical study multidimensional and multiscalar analyses encompasses PMAR’s five municipalities – Alvorada, Cachoeirinha, Gravataí, Porto Alegre and Viamão and their industrial complexes, continuous industrial-dedicated functional zones. The hypothesis is that movement potentials and flow probabilities informed by centralities´ hierarchies correlate to industry locational patterns and spatial organization. This is verified applying geostatistical correlations between road circulation networks spatial configuration measures, based on space syntax methodology; and locational analyses of industrial structures placement, based on economic theories. Results makes it possible to conclude that there are significant statistical correlations between industrial spatial organization logics in urban areas and multiscalar centrality measures for road circulation networks, indicating that the urban centralities hierarchies – and the network morphological properties – capture trends about this process.

No. of bitstreams: 1 PDF - Nayara de Lima Monteiro.pdf: 3591315 bytes, checksum: e1bbf1df343d221ceb2335c3f5dc96be (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-07-10 Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior The research in question has as its general theme the construction of mainstreaming a gender perspective in Mercosur from the action of three actors inside the Meeting of Ministers and High Authorities Woman of Mercosur (RMAAM): national mechanisms for the promotion of gender, the movement of women / feminist and international cooperation. For the success of such construction, throughout history of Mercosur, this happens to be also interpreted as an instrument of political and social integration between their companies and as an independent form of international position. Moreover, the transformations on the world stage for the performance of the feminist movement/women by guaranteeing their rights, the consequences of the Fourth UN World Conference on Women in 1995, the creation of institutional bodies which deal with the themes of woman and Gender influenced, in 1998, the created of Mercosur Specialized Meeting of Women (REM) with the intention to discuss the "equal opportunities" in Mercosur. In 2011, the legal and political status of Meeting of Ministers and High Authorities is achieved by connecting the meeting directly to the Common Market Council, conductor organ of block. Thus, this research aims to present the state of the art on the construction of gender mainstreaming in Mercosur, whose specific objectives are: a) analyzing the importance of the women's movement/feminist internationally and Latin American rights to conquer and transform patriarchal culture to another cultural landmark gender equity; b) presenting the relevance of the inclusion of gender in areas such as Mercosur, to visualize how the "high politics" is not yet open to participation of feminist/women; c) evaluate the relationships of power and domination that bare in mind the political transformation of this integration, when gender equality is to be mainstreamed put in their design and substance. To justify this work, weigh up the scope of the political practice of the women's movement/feminist in the Latin American scene, particularly, and their influence on the mainstreaming of a gender perspective in Mercosur. This research also aims to collaborate with transnational studies and with the inclusion of new actors in international relations and aims to contribute to desmarginalize the area of study of International Relations, that Gender and Feminism research in order to make visible their own epistemology and methodology, showing the relevance of their demands and analysis. That revealed, there will be a tour of the theoretical discussions of international relations to understand the link of internationalist feminist approaches to this field of study. The sense of the international category of feminism will be examined and how Mercosur fits into this scenario. The confluence of International Relations will also be considered with the movements of women/feminist in international scenarios and hispanic, in view of universality secondary category given to females, according to Ortner (1974). Soon after, the state of the art of mainstreaming a gender perspective by RMAAM and the main points of this forum agenda will be presented, from the conformation of this meeting through the advocacy of women's movement/feminist, international cooperation and exchange of experiences between national delegations that are part of the forum. Finally, the challenges and achievements of mainstreaming, from two phenomena that stood out during the study will be analyzed: international cooperation and the participation of women's movements/feminists, since they have a direct connection with the strengthening of RMAAM. As background, the power relations that influence positively and negatively in ranges or not the objectives of the forum will be visualized, it cames to the conclusion that there are already clear advances in the construction of gender mainstreaming and the complexity of actors and political settings involved in that case, the path is still long to achieve a culture of gender equality from the MERCOSUR level work performed. The analysis was done through literature review, desk research, the minutes and documents RMAAM provided on his official page on the web that show how was your constitution and general overview of your activity on the block. In addition, semi-structured interviews with representatives of social organizations that are within the RMAAM and representatives of national gender mechanisms that coordinate the meeting. The scripts were structured questions were asked not to stifle the response of the interviewees in order to increase familiarity the researcher with the social actors who directly participate in research object and proposed to modify/clarify concepts to support the synthesis result of this research. However, to achieve these objectives, we used the feminist epistemology, with the empirical research is concerned in visualizing what is unseen. A pesquisa em questão tem como tema geral a construção da transversalização da perspectiva de gênero no Mercosul a partir da atuação de três atores dentro da Reunião de Ministras e Altas Autoridades da Mulher do Mercosul (RMAAM): os mecanismos nacionais de promoção de gênero, o movimento de mulheres/feminista e os entes da cooperação internacional. Para o êxito de tal construção, ao longo da história do Mercosul, este passa a ser interpretado também como um instrumento de integração político-social entre as suas sociedades e como uma forma independente de inserção no cenário internacional. Além disso, as transformações no cenário mundial relativas à atuação do movimento feminista/de mulheres pela garantia dos seus direitos, as consequências da IV Conferência Mundial da ONU sobre a Mulher em 1995, como a criação de institucionalidades que tratam sobre os temas de Mulher e Gênero, influenciaram para que, em 1998, fosse criada a Reunião Especializada da Mulher do Mercosul (REM) no intuito de debater as igualdades de oportunidades no Mercosul. Em 2011, o status jurídico-político de Reunião de Ministras e Altas Autoridades é alcançado conectando a reunião diretamente ao Conselho Mercado Comum, órgão condutor do bloco. Assim, esta pesquisa objetiva apresentar o estado da arte sobre a construção da transversalidade do gênero no Mercosul, cujos objetivos específicos são: a) analisar a importância do movimento de mulheres/feminista a nível internacional e latino-americano na conquista de direitos e transformação da cultural patriarcal para outro marco cultural de equidade de gênero; b) apresentar a relevância da inclusão do gênero em âmbitos como o Mercosul, para visibilizar como a alta política ainda não é aberta à participação feminista/de mulheres; c) avaliar as relações de poder e dominação que travam a transformação política desta integração, quando a equidade de gênero é posta para ser transversalizada no seu desenho e substância. Para justificar este trabalho, ponderam-se os alcances da prática política do movimento de mulheres/feminista no cenário latino-americano, particularmente, e a sua influência para a transversalização da perspectiva de gênero no Mercosul. Esta pesquisa também visa colaborar com os estudos transnacionais sobre a inserção dos novos atores nas Relações Internacionais e pretende contribuir com desmarginalizar a área de estudos das Relações Internacionais que pesquisa Gênero e Feminismo, no intuito de visibilizá-la, a partir de suas epistemologia e metodologia próprias, mostrando a relevância das suas demandas e análises. Posto isto, será feito um percurso pelos debates teóricos das Relações Internacionais para compreender o elo internacionalista das abordagens feministas deste campo de estudo. Será analisado o sentido da categoria internacional dos feminismos e como o Mercosul insere-se nesse cenário. Será considerada, também, a confluência das Relações Internacionais com os movimentos de mulheres/feminista nos cenários internacional e latino-americano, tendo em vista a universalidade de categoria secundária dada ao gênero feminino, segundo Ortner (1974). Logo após, será apresentado o estado da arte da transversalização da perspectiva de gênero pela RMAAM e os principais pontos da agenda deste foro, a partir da conformação dessa reunião por meio da incidência política do movimento de mulheres/feminista, da cooperação internacional e o intercâmbio de experiências entre as delegações nacionais que fazem parte do foro. Por fim, serão analisados os desafios e as conquistas da transversalização, a partir de dois fenômenos que se destacaram no transcorrer da pesquisa: a cooperação internacional e a participação dos movimentos de mulheres/feministas, pois apresentam uma conexão direta com o fortalecimento da RMAAM. Como plano de fundo, serão visibilizadas as relações de poder que influenciam positiva e negativamente nos alcances ou não dos objetivos do foro, chegando-se à conclusão de que já existem avanços nítidos na construção da transversalização e que pela complexidade de atores e cenários políticos envolvidos nesse processo, o caminho ainda é longo para lograr uma cultura de equidade de gênero a partir do trabalho desempenhado a nível Mercosul. A análise foi feita através de revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa documental, pelas atas e documentos da RMAAM, disponibilizados na sua página oficial na web, que mostram como se deu a sua constituição e o panorama geral da sua atividade no bloco. Além disso, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com representantes das organizações sociais que estão dentro da RMAAM e com representantes dos mecanismos de gênero nacionais que coordenam a reunião. Os roteiros de perguntas foram estruturados para não engessar a resposta das entrevistadas com o propósito de aumentar a familiaridade da pesquisadora com os atores sociais que participam diretamente do objeto de pesquisa proposto e modificar/clarificar conceitos para fundamentar a síntese decorrente deste trabalho. Ainda assim, para conseguir tais objetivos, foi usada a epistemologia feminista que, junto à pesquisa empírica, ocupa-se em visibilizar o que é invisível.

Abstract:

This work presents the advancements in the development of simulation models of spacecraft components as part of a testbench for verification of onboard flight software. The satellite and its mission are briefly described as to give an idea of the conditions where the simulation has to run. The simulation environment, SimTG, is also introduced and a description of the developed models is presented. The models required interaction between different simulation environments, real hardware and simulated hardware, and also some data processing was necessary in order to filter undesired information. Finally, the performance of the models was tested and verified and a sensible improvement of the state of the testbench on the simulation side was achieved, although a considerable amount of work still lies ahead before a complete onboard software verification tool is ready.

Abstract:

In this research, we consider the impact of spectrum fragmentation in optical single-/multi-path routing transmission on the efficiency of the elastic optical networks. O-OFDM multicarrier transmission is a promising technique that makes it possible to choose just an adequate portion of available spectrum to satisfy the requested capacity. This involves focusing on the work to reduce the fragmentation effects by dynamically updating and controlling the minimum bandwidth allocation granularity. that serves the light path requests over multipath networks. We adopt linear and nonlinear dynamic mechanisms, which are denoted as LDAɡ and NLDAɡ that are proportional to the optical link/path bandwidth fragmentation status. Simulation results show that the minimum bandwidth granularity dynamic adaptation based on the optical path fragmentation status offers improved performance over fixed minimum bandwidth allocation granularity with respect to the bandwidth blocking probability, the throughput, the network bandwidth utilization and the number of path splitting.

Abstract:

Dentre as ações antrópicas que caracterizam a urbanização, destacam-se os impactos gerados pela substituição da vegetação original por áreas impermeabilizadas (PACKMAN et al., 1999), o lançamento de grandes cargas de esgoto sem prévio tratamento e a adição de contaminantes químicos através das mais diversas fontes (POLETO & LAURENTI, 2008). Estes contaminantes são dispersos no ambiente urbano pelo poder de fluxo de águas pluviais (JARTUN & PETERSEN, 2010), desta forma, pode-se dizer que os sedimentos são um veículo para a entrada de contaminantes no sistema aquático. Além disso, eles representam e fornecem uma resposta à condição do sistema, atuando como um depósito para os contaminantes presentes no ambiente. Ao analisar os sedimentos de superfície é possível determinar a medida, a distribuição, a origem e os possíveis riscos de uma contaminação real. Já o estudo de colunas sedimentares fornece o registro histórico das substâncias advindas de atividades antrópicas, ou não, que se desenvolveram na bacia hidrográfica ao longo dos últimos anos (MÜLLER et al., 1977). Neste contexto, o presente trabalho investiga o enriquecimento dos sedimentos produzidos na bacia hidrográfica em estudo por elementos traço (Ni e Zn) na busca de inferir sobre a influência do processo de urbanização da área sobre essas concentrações. A área de estudo localiza-se no município de Viamão, região metropolitana de Porto Alegre (RMPA), no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A bacia Mãe d‘Água é composta por quatro arroios, totalizando uma área de 353 ha e tem em seu exutório uma barragem situada na área da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. A barragem Mãe d‘Água foi construída em 1962, visando atender à demanda da Universidade, e transformou-se em um intrincado problema ambiental pela ocupação urbana desordenada da sua área de contribuição nos últimos quarenta anos, que fornece uma gama diversa de poluentes de origem orgânica e inorgânica. Visando a construção de um panorama evolutivo dos processos de degradação ambiental a que a área de estudo vem sendo submetida, foi realizada, em dezembro de 2009, a coleta de três testemunhos sedimentares em pontos distintos no lago da Barragem. Os sedimentos da fração menor que 63μm foram destinados a análise química para verificação da presença e concentração dos elementos traço: Níquel (Ni) e Zinco (Zn). A metodologia de digestão ácida empregada é a EPA 3050, adotada pela U.S. Environment Protection Agency, sendo que as análises foram realizadas em duplicata e, para controle de qualidade, foram utilizados dois materiais de referência da USGS (U.S. Geological Survey): SGR-1b e SCO-1. Na elaboração das análises da evolução da ocupação urbana na bacia hidrográfica foram determinados os valores correspondentes as áreas antropizadas e naturais, sendo utilizados diferentes produtos de sensoriamento remoto: fotografias aéreas (anos 1972 e 1991) e imagens de satélite de alta resolução (anos 2003 e 2008) visando verificar o período correspondente aos últimos 40 anos. As áreas naturais foram reduzidas em 12% em quatro décadas, contudo o adensamento populacional (estimado em 30% nos últimos 20 anos) em áreas já antropizadas mostrou-se como um fator importante para a compreensão do processo de urbanização da área e a crescente degradação dos corpos d‘água da bacia, especialmente do corpo receptor final, o Lago Mãe d‘Água. Todas as amostras analisadas apresentaram concentrações de Zn e Ni acima do valor de background local e com padrões de crescimento, portanto, evidenciam a existência de enriquecimento dos sedimentos por estes elementos. Considerando que a área de estudo caracteriza-se historicamente pela ocupação residencial, com predominância de poluição de fontes difusas, a dinâmica urbana pode ser considerada como o principal agente fornecedor de metais-traço aos corpos d‘água. Among the human activities that characterize urbanization, stand out the impacts generated by replacing the original vegetation by waterproofed areas (PACKMAN et al., 1999), the release of large sewage loads without previous treatment and the addition of chemical contaminants through the most several sources (POLETO & LAURENTI, 2008).These contaminants are dispersed within the urban environment by the power of storm water flux (JARTUN & PETERSEN, 2010), thus it is possible to say sediments are a vehicle for the entering of contaminants in aquatic systems. Moreover, they represent and provide a response to the condition of the system acting as a deposit for contaminants in aqueous environments. By analyzing the sediment surface is possible to determine the extent, distribution, origin and possible risks of an actual contamination. The cores study provides a historical record of the substances resulting from human activities or not, that developed in the basin over the past year (MÜLLER et al., 1977).In this context, this research investigates the enrichment of the sediments produced in the studied watershed for trace elements and demonstrates their correlation with the urbanization period of this watershed. The study area is located in Viamão city, Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre city, Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. It is composed by four streams, totalizing an area of 353 hectares and has in its outlet a dam located in Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul area. The dam is called Mãe d'Água and it was built in 1962. This dam became a complex environmental problem because there was irregular occupation of this watershed and the dam has started silting very fast besides providing various types of pollutants. Aiming to investigate the evolutionary process of this environmental degradation, it was sampled three sediment cores in December 2009 to study the metal enrichment. Sediment samples fraction less than 63μm analyzed to get trace element concentrations: Nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn). The acid digestion method is EPA 3050, the analysis was performed in duplicate and for quality control was used two USGS reference materials: SGR-1b and SCO-1. For evolution analysis of urban settlement in the watershed it was studied the urbanization rates, per decade, using different remote sensing products: aerial photos (year 1972 and 1991) and satellite images of high resolution (year 2003 and 2008), to verify the last 40 years. Natural areas were reduced by 12% in four decades, yet the population density (estimated at 30% in the last 20 years) in areas already disturbed proved to be an important factor in understanding the process of urbanization and the increasing degradation of the watershed´s water bodies, especially the receptor end, Mãe d‘Água Lake. All samples have showed concentrations of Zn and Ni above the background value and growth patterns thus reveal the enrichment of sediments by these elements. Whereas the study area is characterized by residential occupancy and predominance of diffuse sources of pollution, urban dynamics can be regarded as the leading agent provider of trace metals to water bodies.

Abstract:

A la membrane plasmique des cellules végétales se concentrent des contraintes mécaniques générées par la pression de turgescence, la croissance des tissus adjacents ou des stimulations extérieures comme celles produites par le vent. Certaines protéines membranaires comme les canaux mécanosensibles sont activés par ces contraintes mécaniques. Ces canaux ioniques sont des protéines transmembranaires qui forment un pore dont l'ouverture dépend de la tension mécanique dans la membrane. Ils assurent ainsi la transduction directe d'une stimulation mécanique en transport ionique, activant des voies de signalisation cellulaires permettant de répondre à ces contraintes. L'activité d'un canal mécanosensible perméant au calcium a récemment été mise en évidence à la membrane plasmique de la plante modèle Arabidopsis thaliana par la technique de patch clamp. Ce canal mécanosensible, dont l'activité dépend de la protéine DEK1, reste non identifié et a été nommé RMA (Rapid Mechanically Activated). Dans le cadre de cette thèse, l'activation de RMA a été analysée en fonction de la tension membranaire et du temps, ce qui a permis de proposer un modèle d'activation du canal. De plus, différents mutants ont été analysés (Piezo, OSCA) pour trouver l'identité moléculaire de RMA. En parallèle, la participation de RMA à la signalisation calcique a été étudiée par l'expression de la sonde calcique R-GECO dans des plantules d'Arabidopsis. Ces plantules ont été cultivées dans des chambres microfluidiques, de telle sorte que leur racine principale grandisse dans un canal dont on puisse contrôler la composition du milieu liquide et la vitesse du flux. Les racines ont été soumises à des chocs osmotiques ou à une pression et les signaux calciques déclenchés ont été enregistrés. Les observations recueillies aux échelles moléculaire et racinaire sont mises en relation afin de proposer une vue intégrée du fonctionnement du canal RMA The plant plasma membrane is subjected to mechanical stress generated by the turgor pressure, the development of the adjacent tissues or external mechanical cues such as wind. Transmembrane proteins, called mechanosensitive channels, permeate ions through the membrane when activated by an increase in the membrane mechanical tension. These nanosensors of mechanical cues directly transduce changes in tension into electrical potential variation, rapidly triggering cell mechanotransduction signaling pathways. The activity of a native mechanosensitive channel permeating calcium was recently recorded at the plasma membrane of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana with the patch-clamp technique. This mechanosensitive channel, which is dependent on the DEK1 protein, is still not identified and was called Rapid Mechanically Activated (RMA). In the context of this PhD, the dynamics of gating of the RMA mechanosensitive channel were characterised over time and pressure and an activation model was proposed. Moreover, mutant plants knocked-out for genes encoding putative calcium mechanosensitive channels (Piezo, OSCAs) were analysed in order to find out its molecular identity. In parallel, the involvement of RMA in mechanically-induced calcium signaling in roots was investigated using the calcium sensor R-GECO expressed in Arabidopsis seedlings. These seedlings were grown in microponic chips in such way that their root grew in a channel of controlled liquid medium and controlled flow. Roots were subjected either to osmotic shock or to squeezing and calcium signals were recorded. The link between the observations obtained at the molecular and the root scales is discussed in order to give an integrated view of the function of RMA mechanosensitive channel

Abstract:

Estuaries can be considered as vital natural resources and are unique ecosystems at the interface between terrestrial and marine environments. The increase of population density centred on these coastal features and associated anthropogenic activities such as trade, industry, agriculture and recreation can adversely affect these sensitive environments. The Pumicestone Passage, located in northern Moreton Bay, Australia, is one such estuarine environment where there are concerns about degradation of water quality resulting from rapid land use change. These changes are both immediate to the Passage and within its wider catchment. Of notable concern are the outbreaks of Lyngbya (a toxic blue-green algae) in the Passage itself and near its interface with Deception Bay to the south. Other factors of concern are increased suspended and dissolved loads, and maintenance of ecosystem integrity. In this study, numerical modelling, graphical methods and water surface elevation and current velocity parameter calculations are used to describe hydrological processes in the Pumicestone Passage. A hydrodynamic model is developed using the modelling software SMS and RMA2 as a foundation for future hydrodynamic and water quality modelling. In addition, observed data are used to interpret general hydrodynamic behaviour in the passage, and determine various parameters for use in model development and calibration. Tidal prediction is also discussed and used for model calibration. To support the modelling and for preliminary interpretation of hydrodynamic processes within the Passage, measurements were made in the field of (a) water surface elevation variation at 17 sites; (b) tidal current velocities in four of the tributary creeks and at the northern boundary; (c) volumetric flow rates at two cross-sections within the Passage; and (d) cross-sectional bathymetry at sites where tidal current velocities were measured in the creeks. In general, examination of the observational data reveals a number of important processes in the Pumicestone Passage. Almost all sites within Pumicestone Passage and its tributaries are flood dominant indicating that tidal storage and bottom friction effects are significant. Mesotidal ranges occur at sites close to the southern boundary of the passage, however, bottom friction greatly reduces the tidal response at the remaining sites which results in microtidal ranges. The influence of both the southern and northern tides can be seen in the deformation of tidal waveforms in the central passage. Extensive intertidal areas at and inside the northern inlet to the Passage markedly reduce tidal ranges in the northern estuary and its tributary creeks. Issues involved in hydrodynamic model development and performance are discussed. Overall, model results for the southern estuary have satisfactory correlation with observed data whereas model results for the northern estuary are less satisfactory. In addition, water surface elevation variation model results are generally more accurate than tidal current velocity model results. Reasons for the differences between model and observed values are considered and possible solutions given. Factors discussed relate to boundary condition locations, resolution of bathymetric and geographical data, mesh development methods and parameter assignment.

Abstract:

Afin de repondre a certains besoins actuels de la robotique, nous proposons une plate-forme de programmation de tache pour la robotique sur une architecture distribuee. La solution proposee s'articule autour de deux outils: une interface de programmation basee sur le langage iada pour lequel une methode de genie logiciel myriam permet l'aide a la conception et a la validation d'application temps reel. Le langage iada s'execute sur un noyau distribue, masque au niveau de son utilisation les mecanismes inherents a la repartition de son execution. Il permet ainsi a l'operateur de ne considerer que l'aspect robotique de son probleme. La simplicite d'utilisation du langage est basee sur l'emploi d'un nombre limite d'objets manipules et sur un aspect interprete facilitant la mise en uvre d'un programme. L'ensemble des paradigmes du controle de procede est exprimable par combinaison des objets du langage. La flexibilite du langage iada est essentiellement liee au concept de primitives, taches informatiques independantes du noyau iada, dont les fonctionnalites enrichissent le langage qui est destine a les manipuler. La methode myriam, federe dans une demarche originale des outils classiques de specifications, de conception et de validation d'application temps reel. La demarche adoptee est concue pour s'integrer dans des methodes de genie logiciel couvrant l'ensemble du cycle de vie de l'application. A partir d'une specification du probleme enonce en reseau de petri, la methode myriam propose en cinq etapes successives une caracterisation semi-automatique des taches composant l'application. Le systeme de tache resultant, peut alors etre developpe sur un noyau preemptif a priorites statiques. Des regles d'implantation de ces taches, en ada, les rendent analysables par une methode rate monotonic analysis, permettant ainsi la validation de leurs echeances temporelles

Some species of mycoplasmas cause arthritis in animals and humans, and their lipid-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs) and Mycoplasma arthritidis mitogen (MAM superantigen) are potent stimulators of the immune system. Thus, it has been proposed that mycoplasma can be involved in autoimmune-disease etiology. The objective of the present work was to detect antibodies to MAM and LAMPs of M. hominis and M. fermentans in the patient sera, and to characterize the profile of IgG antibodies reactivity with LAMPs in order to identify the major immunogenic mycoplasmal lipoproteins that could be involved in the etiopathogenesis of these autoimmune diseases. Serum samples were obtained from peripheral blood of female patients at the same age of healthy controls. Recombinant MAM (from M. arthrititidis), LAMPs of M. hominis PG21 and M. fermentans PG18 were used in Western blotting assays. Antibodies to MAM were detected in the patient and control sera (RA: 27.5% vs 18.8%; SLE: 21.7% vs 20.0%). At least 23 LAMPs were found in the preparations of M. hominis PG21 and of M. fermentans PG18 with molecular masses between 20 and 192 KDa. The sera of RA patients recognized a larger number of LAMPs of M. hominis PG21 and M. fermentans PG18 than the control sera (RA: 11 ± 4 vs controls: 7 ± 3, n = 35; p < 0,05). Most of the sera of RA patients presented strong reactivity with LAMPs of M. hominis PG21 (RA: 65.7% vs controls: 20%, p < 0.05). LAMPs of M. hominis PG21 with molecular masses < 49 and ? 20 KDa and LAMPs of M. fermentans PG18 < 102 and ? 58 were mainly recognized by IgG antibodies of RA patients. When comparing sera from SLE patients and controls there was detected no significant differences between the profiles of IgG reactivity. Therefore, M. hominis PG21 LAMPs (< 49 and ? 20 KDa) and M. fermentans PG18 LAMPs (< 102 and ? 58 KDa) are high immunogenic mycoplasmal antigens that can induce antibody cross reactivity with self antigen, contributing with the RA pathogenesis. A artrite reumatóide (AR) e o lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) são doenças autoimunes de etiologia desconhecida. Algumas espécies de micoplasmas causam artrite séptica em seres humanos, sendo estas bactérias fortes candidatos à etiopatogênese destas doenças. O superantígeno MAM é uma proteína secretada por Mycoplasma arthritidis, que juntamente com lipoproteínas (LAMPs) de M. hominis e M. fermentans, ativam as células do sistema imune e podem estar envolvidos na etiopatogenia da AR e do LES. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi detectar e caracterizar a resposta de anticorpos IgG contra superantígeno MAM e LAMPs de M. fermentans e M. hominis em soros de pacientes com AR ou LES, a fim de detectar as LAMPs mais imunogênicas candidatas a antígenos envolvidos na etiopatogenia destas doenças. Os pacientes com AR ou LES e os controles saudáveis eram indivíduos do sexo feminino e da mesma faixa etária. Foi usado MAM recombinante e LAMPs de M. hominis PG21 e M. fermentans PG18 extraídas com detergente Triton X-114, para avaliar o perfil de anticorpos IgG por meio da técnica de Western blotting. Anticorpos IgG anti-MAM foram detectados tanto nos soros de pacientes quanto nos dos controles (AR: 27,5% vs 18,8%; LES: 21,7% vs 20,0%). Foram detectadas pelo menos 23 LAMPs nas preparações de M. hominis PG21 e de M. fermentans PG18 com massas moleculares entre 20 e 192 KDa. Os soros de pacientes com AR reconheceram um maior número de LAMPs de M. hominis PG21 e de M. fermentans PG18 do que os soros controles (AR: 11 ± 4 vs controles: 7 ± 3, n = 35; p < 0,05). A maioria dos soros dos pacientes com AR apresentou forte reatividade com LAMPs de M. hominis PG21 (AR: 65,7% vs controles: 20%, p < 0,05). As LAMPs de M. hominis PG21 com massas moleculares <49 e ³ 20 KDa e de M. fermentans PG18 < 102 e ? 58 foram mais frequentemente reconhecidas por anticorpos IgG de soros de pacientes com AR do que por anticorpos dos soros controles. Não foram atestadas diferenças significantes entre os perfis de reatividade dos soros de pacientes com LES e controles, nem com relação ao número de LAMPs reconhecidas, nem com as diferentes faixas de massas moleculares das LAMPs. Portanto, as LAMPs de M. hominis (<49 e ³ 20 KDa) e M. fermentans (< 102 e ? 58) podem ser antígenos que induzem a produção de anticorpos que reagem cruzadamente com antígenos próprios, contribuindo para o processo da patogênese da AR.

Abstract:

Diskussionerna om att ersätta flygplan 37 ”Viggen” startade 1980, mitt under det kalla kriget. Det nya flygplanssystemet skulle ha förmåga att kunna verka i de tre rollerna, jakt, attack och spaning. Efter utvärderingar och studier beslutade man 1982 att ”Viggen” systemet skulle ersättas med ett svenskt JAS 39 system. Efter detta har dramatiska förändringar skett i Europa i och med det kalla krigets slut. Syftet med denna uppsats är att se hur JAS 39 systemet kan möta de nya framtida kraven och hur JAS 39 på bästa sätt kan nyttjas inom ramen för RMA-konceptet. Metoden som använts i uppsatsen är abduktion. Detta genom att med dagens kända fakta genom slutledning försöka komma fram till hur väl systemet möter framtidens krav. För att förklara flygplanssystemets ingående delar har systemteorin nyttjats genom att det övergripande systemet JAS 39 delats upp i de ingående delsystemen; flygplan-, vapen-, sensor-, kommunikations- och ledningssystem. Resultatet av studien visar att JAS 39 väl möter de krav som RMA-konceptet ställer. Avseende information och omvärldsuppfattning kan JAS 39 spela en viktig roll men förmågan att överföra information i nära realtid till marken måste utvecklas ytterligare. Rörande ledning med beslutsstöd kan JAS 39 väl nyttjas för ledning av andra flygplan ingående i förbandet emedan förmågan att nyttja JAS 39 för ledning av andra förband kräver fortsatt utredning. Vid genomförandet av väpnad insats kan JAS 39 väl nyttjas och denna förmåga kommer att bli ytterligare förbättrad genom införandet av laserstyrd bomb och långräckviddigt vapen för precisionsbekämpning. How can the Swedish JAS 39 “Gripen” be used in the emerging revolution in military affairs (RMA) – an evaluation. The discussions to replace the 37 “Viggen” aircraft system started in the middle of the “Cold War” in 1980. The new aircraft system should have the ability to function in the three roles; intercept, attack and reconnaissance. After evaluations and studies the decision was made in 1982 to replace the “Viggen” system with a new Swedish JAS 39 system but, thereafter, dramatic change took place in Europe with the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin wall. The purpose of this essay is to see how well the JAS 39 system can meet the future demands and how the JAS 39 system best can be used within the future RMA-concept. The method that has been used in the work is abduction. This has been used in order to find out how the JAS 39 can best be used in a future conflict scenario by using today’s known facts. The theory that has been used in the essay is the system theory. The overall JAS 39 system has been divided into the subsystems; aircraft-, weapon-, sensor-, communication- and command and control-systems. The result of the work is confirmation that the JAS 39 meets the future demands well. In the information role, the JAS 39 can play a key role; however, the ability to transfer data from the aircraft to the ground-based organisation must be further developed. Concerning the JAS 39 ability to act as a command and control platform, the system has good abilities to act together with other JAS 39. The ability to conduct command and control over other units must be further investigated. In the precision engagement role, the JAS 39 will have good abilities that will be further improved when laser guided bombs and long-range precision weapons are fully integrated.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka våldtäktsmytsacceptansen bland studenter på Umeå Universitet, samt huruvida acceptansen skiljer sig åt beroende på ålder, politik, kön och studieinriktning. Begreppet våldtäktsmyt utvecklades på 1970-talet, under den andra feministvågen, och syftar på ett antal falska föreställningar om hur en våldtäkt går till, vem som kan bli utsatt och vem som är en våldtäktsman. För att undersöka syftet användes två frågeställningar, den första gällde vilka våldtäktsmyter som hade störst acceptans bland universitetsstudenter vid Umeå Universitet, varför just dessa myter är dominerande samt vilka konsekvenser dessa myter får. Den andra frågeställningen berörde hur våldtäktsmytsacceptansen ser ut i olika grupper, fördelat bland kön, utbildning, ålder och politisk åskådning. Den ämnade även besvara vad eventuella skillnader beror på, och vilka konsekvenser dessa myter får. Studien genomfördes med en enkätundersökning, totalt var antalet deltagare 235 studenter vid Umeå Universitet. Resultatet visade att våldtäktsmyten Hon ljög var mest accepterad bland deltagarna, och att det fanns könsskillnader inom samtliga våldtäktsmyter då männen uppvisade en högre våldtäktsmytsacceptans jämfört med kvinnorna. Politik hade också en effekt på nivån av våldtäktsmytsacceptans då de studenter som placerade sig mer till höger politiskt accepterade våldtäktsmyter i högre grad. Studien visade även att polisstudenter och civilingenjörsstudenter hade en högre nivå av acceptans jämfört med andra studieinriktningar.

Abstract:

The Black Sea, with its oxic, suboxic and anoxic layers, provides a unique environment for studying how biological and geochemical processes affect the composition of particulate matter. The elemental composition of particles in the Black Sea is controlled by their origin and sources. Particles from rivers are dominated by aluminosilicate material that has compositions similar to the earth&rsquo s crust. In general this material is relatively unreactive. Biological processes in the upper oxic and suboxic layers of the water column result in enrichments of elements which used as nutrients. Cu, Ba and Mo have been proposed as tracers for planktonic material and new production. Geochemical processes like manganese and iron recycling between oxidized and reduced forms, metal sulfide formation, and biogenic matter decomposition can have a large impact on the composition of particles in the suboxic and anoxic zones. The aim of this thesis was to study the composition of particles suspended in the water column of the Black Sea, in regional rivers draining into the Black Sea, and of particles deposited in these rivers and Black Sea sediments. The objectives were to determine the chemical composition and distribution of particles supplied by rivers and produced in the Black Sea, and compare with those particles buried in the sediments. The chemical distributions can help us to understand the biogeochemical processes taking place. The ultimate goal is to understand if there is a chemical signature that characterizes sediments deposited in anoxic basins that can be used to determine if ancient sedimentary rocks were deposited under such conditions. Water column filter samples were collected from the central western basin and along transects to the SW shelf regions during several research cruises of R/V Bilim and R/V Knorr in the Black Sea. Samples were taken by using both in situ large volume filtration systems and on deck vacuum filtration of discrete samples. River samples were collected by hand from the bank of four Turkish rivers and the Danube River. Sediment samples were obtained from 0 - 25 cm interval of a box core from the deep western basin. All samples were digested and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry and combination of atomic absorption (flame &amp graphite furnace) instruments. The elements analyzed included Al, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ag, Cd, Ba, Pb, and U. Great care was taken to avoid contamination and to obtain the highest level of precision and accuracy. The precision was typically about 5% for most elements. The accuracy, determined using standard reference materials, was also usually better than 5%. Another goal of this research was to determine the metal concentrations and best digestion methods using different types of filter materials. Blank filters were digested and analyzed and the analyses of various filter blanks are presented in the thesis. The analyses showed that the particulate matter data from Turkish Rivers were very similar to the composition of global average riverine particulate material and global average crust. The Danube River had elevated concentrations for some elements that were probably due to anthropogenic contamination. The Turkish river samples were closer to (but still higher than) the averages for the world&rsquo s rivers but many elements in the Danube were much higher. These high values determined for major elements in the Danube samples strongly suggest considerable contamination of the Danube as compared to the Turkish Rivers. The Danube River samples were especially enriched in Pb, Zn, Ag, Cu, Cd, and Mn and slightly enriched with Cr and Ni. The first five elements, in particular, are well known indicators of pollution. The particulate matter in the water column of the Black Sea was influenced by lithogenic input from rivers, biological processes and geochemical processes. In order to examine the biogeochemical processes extensively, all the data were plotted as Metal/Al (Me/Al) ratios and compared with the ratios of the average crust and Turkish Rivers. Deviations were used to examine the anomalies due to biological and geochemical processes. In addition, the Al content of individual sample and the Me/Al ratio of crust or rivers were used to subtract the lithogenic component from the total composition. Enrichments due to biological processes were observed for Ba &gt Fe &gt Cr &gt Mn &gt Zn &gt Ni &gt Cu &gt Mo &gt V &gt Co &gt Cd &gt U for the overall biogenic composition. Enrichments due to biology are most evident for Ba, Fe, Cr and Mn. This is a unique data set as there have been few previous analyses of biological enrichment for most of these elements. The results of particulate matter analyses showed that some elements including U, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Co, Zn, Ba and Mo were enriched in the set of samples from the euphotic zone. Redox cycling in the suboxic zone was observed, as expected, for Mn and Fe, whose oxides play an important role in scavenging processes. The redox dependent processes in the suboxic &ndash anoxic interface influence the vertical distribution of U, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Ba and possibly Mo, Cr and V. Elements influenced by sulfide formation in the anoxic layer are Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, Mo, and presumably Ag. The sediment data were also examined based on the same approaches. The elements Zn, Pb, U and Cd decreased with sediment depth over the top 5 cm suggesting that they were remobilized out of the sediments. In general the sediments from the Black Sea have Me/Al ratios very similar to local Turkish Rivers and average crust. There is no unique sediment signature (except possibly for Mo) indicating that these sediments were deposited under sulphidic conditions. This study does not support the hypothesis that the composition of ancient rocks can be used to characterize the environment of deposition.

Abstract:

Uppgiften är att utarbeta ett förslag på inriktning vid val av ett framtida markbaserat precisionsbekämpningssystem för den nya Försvarsmakten. Uppsatsen tar avstamp utifrån RMA, även kallad ”den nya krigföringen”, som antas vara den vision som gäller när det nya försvaret skall formas. Inledningsvis studeras de trender och pågående projekt som föreligger. Dessa får sedan lägga grunden för ett antal spelkort som bedöms utifrån de förväntade krav som kommer att ställas i framtiden. Kraven är framtagna med hjälp av studerade scenarier, rapporter samt intervjuer. Systemverkan kommer att vara en avgörande parameter. För att erhålla avsedd systemverkan är det viktigt med god precision, verkan i alla måltyper, lång räckvidd och mobilitet på systemen. Balansen mellan precision, räckvidd och verkan är betydelsefull. Balans råder då dessa parametrar har tillräckligt utrymme i stridsdelen. Det system som bäst svara mot de ställda kraven är en robot med fiberoptisk länk. Följande fördelar ses med systemet; god precision, lång räckvidd, god verkan, hög störresistens samt förmågan att verifiera och gradera verkan. Att endast förlita sig på eldrörsartilleri som precisionsbekämpningssystem är inte tillräckligt med de nya krav som ställs. Försvarsmakten bör välja ett markrobotsystem som framtida precisionsbekämpningssystem. Genom detta val erhålls ett system som i första hand löser precisionsbekämpning, vilket medför att ingen hänsyn behöver tas till den ständigt pågående växelverkan mellan understöd, bekämpning och precisionsbekämpning. På detta sätt blir ”bekämpningsfamiljen” mer komplett. Avdelning: ALB - Slutet Mag 3 C-upps.Hylla: Upps. ChP 99-01

Nesta pesquisa, a teoria econômica do crime, com ênfase para os estudos de Becker (1968) foi basilar para compreender os fatores determinantes do crime de latrocínios sob a ótica econométrica. Logo, a presente dissertação tem por objetivo analisar os fatores determinantes do crime de latrocínios na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre de 2000 a 2015. Para isso, utilizou-se o modelo de dados em painel. Os resultados obtidos para o variável dependente latrocínio, no período analisado apontam correlação positiva com os fatores: mulheres responsáveis pelo domicílio e a taxa de abandono escolar dos 18 aos 24 anos. Ademais, com sinal negativo o resultado para produto interno bruto, a taxa de ocupação (pessoas economicamente ativas), a taxa de analfabetismo e, de maneira inesperada a taxa de trabalho infantil dos 10 aos 15 anos. A contribuição principal desta dissertação é identificar dos fatores que influenciam o crime de latrocínio na RMPA, mostrando que é possível e importante localizar tais indicadores espacialmente para que diretrizes em políticas públicas de combate a violência sejam elaboradas e focadas nas áreas geográficas e no público alvo específicos, visando garantir a eficácia de seus resultados High crime rates that result in deaths existing in Brazil and especially in Rio Grande do Sul, resulting economic and social losses such as insecurity, high costs and loss of legitimacy of the government. In this research, the economic theory of crime, with emphasis on the Becker study (1968) was fundamental to understand the determinants of robberies crime under econometric perspective. Thus, this thesis is to analyze the determinants of robberies of crime in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre from 2000 to 2015. For this, we used the panel data model. The results for the dependent variable larceny in positive correlation point period analyzed the factors: women heads of household and the dropout rate from 18 to 24 years. Moreover, with a negative sign the result to gross domestic product, the occupancy rate (economically active population), the illiteracy rate and unexpectedly the child labor rate of 10 to 15 years. The main contribution of this work is to identify the factors that influence the robbery crime in MAPA, showing that it is possible and important to locate such indicators spatially so that guidelines for public policies to combat violence are defined and focused on geographical areas and specific target audience in order to ensure the effectiveness of their results..

Abstract:

The most up-to-date definition of Revolutions in Military Affairs (RMA) is defined by military an-alysts as the role of technology in transforming military affairs. Despite the amount of literature on how RMA impacts great powers the significance of RMA for small states is limited. Is RMA suffi-cient and suitable to define a change in small states security strategies? The purpose of this study is to analyze to what extent RMA can be traced in Swedish strategy implementation after applying Francis Domingo’s theory of small states security strategies. The method used in this essay is a case study that analyses to what extent RMA can be found and proven by using the strategy implementation factors defined in Domingo’s theory. The result of this study shows that only two out of four strategies can prove RMA in Sweden’s implementation of security strategies. The result gives reason for criticism due to Domingo’s the-ory’s inability to trace and prove RMA and its implication in a small state’s security strategies.
