This paper has an special kind of liability or receivable as its focus. When a debt is not paid to a Government body after the expiration of the time allowed for the payment, the amount is subject to be booked under legal procedures provided by law. This debt can be originated from unpaid taxes. Due to the relevance of this source this paper is focused on it. But all the unpaid debts are subject to be collected by judicial means: the only requirement is to be properly registered by the authority. In the Federal level of Government this power is granted to the Federal Treasure General Attorney. All the circumstances grant to this kind of debt a presumptuous liquidness and certainty. It requires some attention the process one translates a word, or an idea. To write this abstract avoiding a free translation to Dívida Ativa was desirable. Even in Portuguese this combination of two antagonistic words is criticized when taking into accounting purposes. One word means liability while the other could means asset. But all these questions related to translation issues tend to be relevant when two different legal systems are involved. And problems can arise if these differences are not take into consideration and a simple translation is adopted. This situation is what we can see in Brazil when the standards issued by Brazilian Authorities are simple copies of the international similar; the subject of this paper is the Brazilian equivalent to IAS 37. And Brazilian environment demands a special attention to its huge tax matters. So combining the main ideas about Dívida Ativa in light of what that standards prescribe, some Financial Statements were studied. Thus in some of them no evidence of the existence of the debt was given
Esta dissertação tem um especial tipo de exigibilidade ou recebível como seu foco. Quando uma dívida não é paga a uma entidade governamental depois de expirado o prazo para pagamento, a quantia está sujeita a um registro, conforme procedimentos estabelecidos na lei. O débito pode ser originado de impostos não pagos . Devido à relevância da primeira origem esta dissertação está nela focada, contudo cabe ressaltar que todos os débitos estão sujeitos à cobrança judicial: o único requisito é ser apropriadamente registrado pela autoridade. Na esfera federal esse poder é concedido ao Procurador-Geral da Fazenda Nacional. Todas essas circunstâncias conferem ao débito a presunção de certeza e liquidez. Em um processo de tradução de uma palavra ou uma idéia requer-se alguma atenção. Para elaborar este resumo foi recomendável evitar-se uma livre tradução de Dívida Ativa . Mesmo em português, essa combinação de duas palavras antagônicas é criticada quando levada em consideração para fins contábeis. Uma palavra significa exigibilidade e a outra pode significar ativo . Mas todas essas questões relacionadas a problemas de tradução tendem a ser relevantes quando dois sistemas legais estão envolvidos. E problemas podem surgir se essas diferenças não forem levadas em consideração, e uma simples tradução seja adotada. Essa situação é o que podemos ver no Brasil quando os padrões emitidos pelas autoridades brasileiras são simples cópias de similar internacional; o objeto desta dissertação é o equivalente brasileiro ao IAS 37. E o ambiente brasileiro demanda uma especial atenção por conta de suas grandes questões tributárias. Assim, combinando as principais idéias sobre Dívida Ativa à luz dos que os padrões prescrevem, foram estudadas algumas demonstrações financeiras, e em algumas delas nenhuma evidência do débito foi fornecida

Resumen

Com o crescimento do mundo corporativo, cresceram também as dificuldades de representar de forma fidedigna as diversas faces da entidade. Neste ponto também estão inclusas as obrigações, que não estão restritas a pagamentos de obrigações predeterminadas em contratos, regidas por leis ou outros instrumentos. Assim, a dinâmica empresarial cria diversas exigibilidades para a entidade, que muitas vezes não possui instrumentos apropriados para seu reconhecimento, mensuração e divulgação. Neste contexto, diversos agentes buscam criar normas que uniformizem as informações divulgadas e garantam padrões mínimos às informações divulgadas. Assim, o fez a Comissão de Valores Mobiliários ao publicar a Deliberação CVM n 489 de 2005 versando sobre provisões, passivos, contingências passivas e contingências ativas. Com isso, além de uniformizar internamente este tema, a CVM procurou alinhamento com as Normas Internacionais de Contabilidade, pois inspirou sua deliberação na norma emitida pelo IASB em 1998, a IAS 37. A alta carga tributária e a volatilidade do nosso sistema tributário contribuem para um ambiente de incertezas e litígios entre os sujeitos ativos e passivos das obrigações tributárias, levando a disputas sobre valores relevantes e que podem comprometer a saúde financeira da entidade. Por isso, a publicação da norma emitida pela CVM é ferramenta útil e indispensável a uma divulgação uniforme e transparente pelas empresas. Desta forma, este estudo busca contribuir para a solução do problema da divulgação das contingências ao rever a literatura pertinente, analisar as demonstrações contábeis das quatro empresas significativas e sugerir pontos de melhoria nas demonstrações contábeis.
With the growth of the corporative world, also growth the difficulties to represent in a reliable way the various faces of the entity. At this point, are also included obligations that are not restricted to payments of bonds at predetermined contracts governed by laws or other instruments. Thus, the business dynamics creates various obligations for the entity, which often do not have appropriate tools for recognition, measurement and disclosure. In this context, various agents looking to create standards to uniform the information disseminated and guarantee minimum standards to the information disclosed. So did the Securities Commission (CVM) published the deliberation CVM N 489/2005 covering provisions, liabilities, passive and active contingencies. With that, in addition to create internally standards for this theme, the Securities Commission sought to align with international standards accountancy, inspired its deliberation on standard issued by the IASB in 1998, IAS 37.The high tax burden and the volatility of our tax system contribute to an environment of uncertainty and disputes between the parties of tax obligations, taking the dispute over relevant values and which may compromise the financial health of the entity. Therefore, the publication of the standard issued by Securities Commission is the useful tool and indispensable to a uniform and transparent disclosure by companies. Thus, this study aims to contribute to the solution of the problem of disclosure of contingencies reviewing the literature relevant, reviewing the financial statements of the four significant firms and suggesting points of improvement in the statements.

With the advent of the new Code of Civil Procedure (Law no. 13.105/2015), it emerged the obligation of analytical reasoning in judgments, laid down in article 489, paragraph 1, of the CPC, which sets forth the hypothesis in which will be not considered, for all legal purposes, reasoned the judgments. It turns out that part of the doctrine and the jurisprudence opposed barriers to the application of the referred legal dispositive to the procedural labor law, for they understand that it would not be fulfilled the requirements set out in article 769 of the CLT. In other words, under the arguments that there is no gap in the labor process ordinance and that the analytical reasoning would be incompatible with the procedural labor law. On the other hand, the other part of the doctrine and jurisprudence holds that the analytical reasoning is an important legal mechanism in combating judicial activism present in the labor courts, supporting the completion of the requirements set out in the law for implementation of common standards in labor process. Therefore, the doctrinal and jurisprudential debate, it abides to this work to address scientifically the question inherent in the requirement of analytical reasoning of judicial decisions in the labor process, mainly aiming to submit a proposal of a solution to this problem. After long research stabilized in doctrine and jurisprudence, it reaches two main conclusions. The first is that the article 489 of the CPC is not incompatible with the systematic and principiology of the procedural labor law, which is, therefore, perfectly applicable supplementarily to the labor process, before the existence of partial regulatory gap in CLT. Finally, the second conclusion is that it is essential that they are committed to efforts for the creation of a Code of Labor Procedure that contains sufficient mechanisms for the solution of the problems that plague labor relations in the present days, because, only that way, the labor process will return to have its vanguard status of a rapid, simple and effective process model, pursued by other procedural systems.
Com o advento do novo C?digo de Processo Civil (Lei n? 13.105/2015), surgiu o dever de fundamenta??o anal?tica das decis?es judiciais, previsto no artigo 489, par?grafo 1?, do CPC, o qual elenca as hip?teses em que n?o ser?o consideradas, para todos os efeitos legais, fundamentadas as decis?es judiciais. Ocorre que parte da doutrina e da jurisprud?ncia op?s entraves a aplica??o do referido dispositivo legal ao Processo do Trabalho, por entenderem que n?o estariam preenchidos os requisitos previstos no artigo 769 da CLT, isto ?, sob os argumentos de que n?o h? lacuna no ordenamento processual trabalhista e de que a fundamenta??o anal?tica seria incompat?vel com o Processo do Trabalho. De outro lado, a outra parte da doutrina e jurisprud?ncia defende que a fundamenta??o anal?tica ? um importante mecanismo legal no combate ao protagonismo judicial presente na Justi?a do Trabalho, sustentando o preenchimento dos requisitos fixados na lei para aplica??o da norma comum ao processo laboral. Posta, pois, a celeuma doutrin?ria e jurisprudencial, cumpre ao presente trabalho abordar cientificamente a quest?o inerente ? obrigatoriedade de fundamenta??o anal?tica das decis?es judiciais no Processo do Trabalho, objetivando-se, principalmente, apresentar uma proposta de solu??o para esse problema. Ap?s longa pesquisa lastreada na doutrina e jurisprud?ncia, chega-se a duas principais conclus?es. A primeira ? de que o artigo 489, caput e par?grafos, do CPC, n?o s?o incompat?veis com a sistem?tica e a principiologia processual trabalhista, sendo, por conseguinte, perfeitamente aplic?veis supletivamente ao Processo do Trabalho, ante a exist?ncia de lacuna normativa parcial na CLT. Por fim, a segunda conclus?o ? de que ? imprescind?vel que sejam empenhados esfor?os para a cria??o de um C?digo de Processo do Trabalho que contenha mecanismos suficientes para a solu??o dos problemas que assolam as rela??es de trabalho nos dias atuais, pois, s? assim, o Processo do Trabalho voltar? a ter seu status de vanguarda e de modelo de processo c?lere, simples e efetivo, perseguido pelos demais sistemas processuais.

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo refletir e demonstrar a importância da motivação das decisões judiciais para o Estado Democrático de Direito, mais precisamente a importância do art. 489, §1º do CPC/15, que estabeleceu os critérios mínimos para uma decisão judicial adequadamente fundamentada. Tal questão se mostra especialmente relevante, haja vista que, embora o dever de fundamentação esteja expressamente presente na Constituição de 1988 e se apresente como um corolário básico para o atendimento ao devido processo legal e à segurança jurídica, somente com a edição do CPC/15 que se explicitou e delineou o esboço do que possa ser considerada uma decisão adequadamente fundamentada. Diante da importância do novel dispositivo legal, a presente dissertação busca contribuir, dentro de uma perspectiva teóricodogmática, com a interpretação do instituto do dever de fundamentação e a sua (re)descoberta a partir do previsto no art. 489, §1º, do CPC/15. Palavras-chave: Decisão judicial; dever de motivação; fundamentação adequada; Estado Democrático de Direito; devido processo legal; CPC/15; art. 489,§1º.

Resumen

The present study has as object of study the duty to justify the judicial decisions established in art. 489 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure, which, in accordance with the Federal Constitution, established the grounds as an essential element of the judicial pronouncement, but innovated in the conception of §1º which deals with the inherent contours of the obligation to state reasons, and §2º which provides for the justification of a consolidated judicial decision in the weighting of legal rules. Seen in this way is that once consolidated in the judicial decision the preponderance of the implementation of legal norms, the legitimation of the exercise of the judicial activity and thus the guarantee of correction of the legal discourse by means of its consistency is in the duty of justification of the judicial decision an important tool to control the interpretation and application of legal norms. Thus, in view of the dimension of the thematic, several theories were developed in order to better clarify the phenomenon described and with that to trace parameters of its verification, among these the present work took as object of investigation the doctrine undertaken by the German Robert Alexy, which widely received in Brazil has as theoretical framework the development of an argumentative legal theory, besides being responsible for the introduction of the weighting technique as a form of resolution of the normative conflict between principles. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to analyze the duty to state reasons for the judicial decision, set forth in art. 489, §1º and §2º in the light of the discursive theory developed by Alexy, in order to draw the parallel between the theoretical framework chosen and the regulation of the thematic. Such an approach presupposes the necessary verification of the compatibility of that with the current procedural system, so that its scope and limitations are established.

O presente trabalho tem como objeto de estudo o dever de fundamentação das decisões judiciais disposto no art. 489 do Código de Processo Civil brasileiro, o qual em consonância com a Constituição Federal erigiu a fundamentação como elemento essencial do pronunciamento judicial, mas inovou na concepção do §1º o qual trata dos contornos inerentes a materialização do dever de fundamentação, e do §2º que dispõe sobre a justificação de decisão judicial consolidada na ponderação entre normas jurídicas. Visto desta maneira é que uma vez consolidada na decisão judicial a preponderância da concretização das normas jurídicas, a legitimação do exercício da atividade jurisdicional e assim a garantia da correção do discurso jurídico por meio de sua coerência tem-se no dever de fundamentação da decisão judicial uma importante ferramenta de controle da interpretação e aplicação das normas jurídicas. Deste modo, diante da dimensão da temática várias teorias foram desenvolvidas no sentido de melhor esclarecer o fenômeno descrito e com isso traçar parâmetros de sua verificação, dentre essas o presente trabalho tomou como objeto de investigação a doutrina empreendida pelo alemão Robert Alexy, a qual amplamente recepcionada no Brasil tem como marco teórico o desenvolvimento de uma teoria jurídica argumentativa, além de ser responsável pela introdução da técnica da ponderação como forma de resolução do conflito normativo entre princípios. Por essa razão é que se propõe nesse estudo a análise do dever de fundamentação da decisão judicial, exposto no art. 489, §1º e §2º à luz da teoria discursiva desenvolvida por Alexy, no sentido de traçar o paralelo entre o marco teórico elegido e a regulamentação da temática. Tal abordagem se faz pressuposto necessário à verificação da compatibilidade daquela com a sistemática processual vigente, de modo que assim sejam estabelecidos seu alcance e limitações.

Resumen

We introduce a new point process, the dynamic contagion process, by generalising the Hawkes process and Cox process with shot noise intensity. Our process includes both self-excited and externally excited jumps, which could be used to model the dynamics of contagion impact from endogenous and exogenous factors of the underlying system. We systematically analyse the theoretical distributional properties of this new process, based on the piecewise-deterministic Markov process theory developed in Davis (1984), and the extension of the martingale methodology used in Dassios and Embrechts (1989). The analytic expressions of the Laplace transform of the intensity process and probability generating function of the point process are derived. A simulation algorithm is provided for further industrial implementation and statistical analysis. Some extensions of this process and comparison with other similar processes are also investigated. The major object of this study is to produce a general mathematical framework for modelling the dependence structure of arriving events with dynamic contagion, which has the potential to be applicable to a variety of problems in economics, finance and insurance. We apply our research to the default probability of credit risk and ruin probability of risk theory.

Resumen

In this thesis I explore aspects of the tradition of radical Romanticism in a pedagogical context, with the focus on the teaching of English in secondary (11-18 age range) schools in England. I draw on my personal professional history as English school-teacher and teacher educator in this project, alongside more theoretical considerations, aiming towards a creative synthesis between Romantic and critical paradigms. In so doing I look first at the general contexts of such relationships, introducing some of the principal figures in the debate, in Section One. I go on to look more closely, in Section Two, at the nature of experience in education through the lens of slippery but crucial ideas of immersion, criticality and wonder, culminating in some illustrative descriptions of English classroom activity. For Section Three this leads into an exploration of the nature of creativity in education – a concept much used currently, but in need of more careful, critically purposeful and painstaking theorising. Following this discussion, I look in Section Four at aspects of the Secondary English curriculum in more detail, both theoretically and practically, before making a specific study in Section Five of interdisciplinary possibilities – a key area, by definition suggesting the forging of connections in theory and practice and thus tending to bring to the fore both unifying possibilities and challenging disjunctions. In the sense that my project here is to do with developing pedagogy, I explore next, in Section Six, some of the issues in the context of initial teacher education (ITE), currently my own sphere of professional activity. Section Seven represents something of a poetic interlude, if (I hope) an illuminating one. Section Eight is essentially an attempt to tie together the various strands of my study and look towards future possibilities, including the tentative conclusions presented in Section Nine.

Resumen

The relationship between Psychology and Theology has become an issue of increasing concern in recent years for the Christian community. With the growing complexities of cultural differences, the moral decline of society and its drift away from a Christian worldview, the pastoral ministry seems to be as challenging as ever. The problem about the relationship between theology and psychology is that there is growing confusion in today's Christian community about the best way to help people overcome their personal problems of living. In this regard some scholars believe that Christians should only submit to Biblical counselling, while others support psychotherapy, as long as it is integrated with Biblical principles and has a firm Scriptural foundation. In researching the literature on the subject, it was found that various theoretical models have been defined and described as attempts to scientifically justify the union of the above mentioned two points of view. In this thesis the viewpoints of four prominent groups of scholars about the subject are described and analysed in order to determine to what extent will it be possible to identify common denominators amongst their different models and to eventually establish if it is possible to formulate a synthesis about the commonalities so defined. The integration models of the following four prominent groups of authors about the subject were analysed: (1) Larry Crabb (1977); (2) William T. Kirwan (1993), (3) John D. 2 Carter & Bruce Narramore (1979) and (4) Eric L. Johnson & Stanton L. Jones, eds., (2000). These scholar's contributions were chosen for analysis because, from the research about the subject, it was found that these 4 groups of authors made some of the most significant scientific contributions about the integration of theology with psychology. Before attempting to formulate a pastoral paradigm out of a synthesis of the contributions of the aforementioned scholars, it was fundamentally important to distinguish between the 3 prominent views of man. Some scholars argue that man is a monistic being, while others defend a dichotomous view of man as consisting of a body and a soul. A third significant view describes man as consisting of three significant parts, namely a body, a soul and a spirit. In this thesis it was argued that the trichotomous view of man was the most correct way of defining the fundamental composition of man. According to the researcher an understanding of the trichotomous nature of man is important as it serves as a theological basis for pastoral counselling in order to clearly communicate the precise truths of the believer's union with Christ. In the last part of the thesis a practical pastoral paradigm was proposed based on the trichotomous view of man in which psychology and theology can be harmoniously integrated by means of a meta-systemic approach. The first phase of the paradigm focused on a model within which Psychotherapy can be applied while the second phase described Spirituotherapy as a model within which pastoral counselling can be applied.

Resumen

The Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) is designed to individualize instruction based on traditional learning theories. Students are required to demonstrate mastery before advancing to new material. A self-pacing feature allows students to dictate their rate of progress. Compared to lecture-discussion instruction, PSI courses have demonstrated superior examination performance as well as increased ratings of course quality. However, studies have been criticized for testing only basic skills while ignoring more complex processes. In this research project, the PSI study guides were designed to emphasize complex processes and mastery test and review examination questions reflected increased item-level complexity. Results showed that students were able to master these complex items at the required 90% criterion. Performance on the comprehensive review examinations was slightly lower for complex items. Expected differences relating to the three group sequence requirements were not obtained. Nevertheless, mastery performance on the complex items was achieved by all students regardless of experimental group.

Resumen

Abstract: Background: Dental hygienists can be utilized to provide care to adolescents and young adults in a school-based setting. These dental health care professionals work to improve upon public oral health through educational practices, preventative methods, and referrals. The purpose of this study was to explore the knowledge and perceptions of elementary and middle school staff with regard to the utilization of a dental hygienist in a school setting. Methods: The international review board at approved the following study. A total of eight faculty and staff members from Unicoi County Elementary School and Unicoi County Middle School completed a 14-question survey. Participants included each school’s principal, nurse, physical education/wellness teacher and science teacher or K-6. All surveys were distributed by hand to each school. Results: All eight participants saw a need for their students and would be in support of having a hygienist assigned to their school. Questions in the survey revealed that the facility believed a hygienist would be beneficial, but a full-time nurse was the major care provider in their institution. The schools that had interactions with a dental hygienist could not give the correct answer for how frequently they were coming, what services they were providing, and who was sending the dental hygienists. Discussion: The Northeast Regional Health Office supply dental hygienist for student dental health centered care and application of preventative services. However, there are only three hygienists working with the Northeast Regional Health Office to provide care for seven counties in this region.

Resumen

Diverse sociology theoretical constructs serve as the lens to examine the evolution of two popular symbols of US culture in the last 20 years: yellow ribbons displayed as decoration and awareness ribbons worn as personal accoutrement. This research was motivated by society's weakened state of "collective consciousness," whereby shared beliefs and values have declined and some have completely disappeared, and sought to determine whether symbols will survive in a culture without commitment to the social. Invoking Christopher Lasch's Culture of Narcissism, Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, David Riesman's theory of other-directedness from The Lonely Crowd, and Stjepan Mestrovic's Postemotional Society, this work examined the significance of public displays of ribbons (whether on animate or inanimate objects), theorized why certain diseases and social causes "earned" their awareness ribbons and others did not, and demonstrated that these ribbons have served as multivalent symbols to accommodate our culture in a postmodern world. These symbols have not maintained their unifying function and now serve at the whim of the individual participant or observer. Ultimately, the act of wearing or displaying awareness ribbons and yellow ribbons, like so many other symbols, has been severed from the idea and is a freefloating, simulacrum to be used in whatever mode our postmodern, postemotional society requires.

A memória de trabalho ou memória operativa é um sistema limitado de capacidade mnésica que conserva transitoriamente a informação em tarefas que requerem manipulação mental da informação (Baddley, 2000; Izquerdo, 2006). Esta relaciona-se com outras informações, permitindo, no seu todo, que ocorram processos cognitivos complexos como compreensão, aprendizagem, resolução de problemas e raciocínio (Baddeley, 2000; Céspedes & Ustárroz, 2001; DeLuca, Lengenfelder & Eslinger, 2004; Gil, 2004/1999; Lezak et al., 2004; Yaakov & Sackeim, 2006/2002). Na neuropsicologia clínica, a memória de trabalho verbal e espacial, usualmente, tem sido avaliada através do Teste da Memória de Dígitos, e pelos testes de cubos, incluindo o Teste de Corsi (Beblo et al., 2004; Nys et al., 2006). Por sua vez, o campo da neuropsicologia do envelhecimento ajuda a diferenciar o envelhecimento normal do patológico (Guerreiro, 1998). É sabido que os lobos frontais do córtex cerebral presidem a um grande número de funções nervosas superiores. Numa ascendência filo-ontogénica, os lobos frontais são as últimas regiões do córtex cerebral humano a serem desenvolvidas, tornando-as, por isso, mais vulneráveis ao processo de envelhecimento (Woodruff-Pak & Papka, 1999). O presente estudo tem como objectivo principal contribuir para a adaptação do Teste de Corsi à população portuguesa com idade superior a 60 anos. Nele participaram 49 indivíduos, dos 60 aos 82 anos, sem defeito cognitivo. Apesar das suas limitações, os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios, similares ao descrito na literatura, i.e., a memória de trabalho visuo-espacial, como função da região dorsolateral direita do lobo frontal, avaliada através da pontuação final do Teste de Corsi, evidencia que: (a) o grupo mais jovem apresenta um desempenho superior quando comparado com o grupo mais idoso; (b) o grupo com maior escolaridade apresenta um desempenho superior nos diversos indicadores do teste quando comparado com o grupo menos escolarizado; e (c), o sexo masculino apresenta um desempenho superior quando comparado com o sexo feminino.

Numerous studies have linked dispositional mindfulness to enhanced emotion regulation. The present research examined dispositional mindfulness as a predictor of emotion regulation in social affective contexts. Participants completed passive viewing and Emotional Go/No-Go tasks involving social affective stimuli (happy, neutral, and fearful facial expressions). Event-related potentials (ERPs) and behavioral responses were examined to discern whether dispositional mindfulness predicted differential neural and behavioral responses indexing attention to, awareness of, and inhibitory control over automatic responses to affective social stimuli. Dispositional mindfulness predicted larger (more negative) N100, N200 and No-Go N200 amplitudes during the Emotional Go/No-Go task, but was not associated with amplitude of the Late Positive Potential during the passive viewing task. Dispositional mindfulness also predicted faster response times (RT) to target stimuli that were not attributable to a speed-accuracy tradeoff. No relations were found between mindfulness and RT variability nor accuracy. Implications for understanding mindfulness and early processes of social emotion regulation are discussed.

Resumen

This study focused on the intended learning outcomes, curriculum and assessment in the science curriculum offered at a regional independent Middle School in the state of Victoria, Australia. In-school assessment has indicated that the current science curriculum of this Middle School may not develop students' skills in scientific literacy as effectively as intended. One hypothesis to explain this deficit is that there is a misalignment of intended outcomes, curriculum materials and assessment. This study aimed to determine the extent to which the intended curriculum and assessment in this Victorian middle years' science program is aligned to its stated goals and objectives and to design, implement and evaluate a model for assessing the degree of alignment of intended outcomes, curriculum and assessment. Participants in the study were asked to analyse curriculum materials and assessment tasks from two different science courses at the case study school. These curriculum materials and assessments were scored against a series of instruments adapted from curriculum evaluation models used in previous research. The reviewers scored the material to determine the degree of alignment between the intended outcomes, curriculum materials and assessment tasks. The data provided an insight into both the degree of alignment of the curriculum as well as the features of strongly aligned curriculum materials. The effectiveness of the evaluation model was determined by analysis of the scoring data and semi-structured interviews with the participants. The current investigation established that the case study Middle School science program had some degree of alignment, but there were a number of materials and tasks which were not adequately aligned. The features of the curriculum materials and assessment tasks generally matched those identified in the literature, and provided the basis for potential reform to increase the degree of alignment in intended curriculum and assessment in science courses designed to address scientific literacy. The study also demonstrated that the model of curriculum evaluation was effective in establishing the alignment of curriculum materials and assessment with intended goals, particularly when enacted by teachers and administrators within the school context who had been trained. The curriculum analysis can highlight areas of the science curriculum which are not aligned and hence focus curriculum reform efforts.

Resumen

Esta tese tem por objetivo principal estabelecer, numa primeira aproximação, utilizando a Matriz de Contabilidade Social do Paraná de 1998, a importância da indústria de base florestal nos impactos totais (direto, indireto e induzido) sobre a ocupação e a renda da economia do Paraná, em decorrência da variação da demanda final. Para atingir esse objetivo, foi necessária a construção primeiramente da Matriz de Relações Intersetoriais por meio da regionalização da matriz brasileira. Com a Matriz de Relações Intersetoriais paranaense e dados referentes a pagamento de impostos e transferências do governo federal e estadual acrescidos de informações de renda e pessoal ocupado da Pesquisa Nacional de Amostra Domiciliar, constituiu-se a Matriz de Contabilidade Social do Paraná. Foram calculados três tipos de multiplicadores para ocupação e renda. O primeiro, do tipo I, demonstra os efeitos diretos e indiretos do aumento da demanda final. O segundo, do tipo II, apresenta os efeitos direto e indireto, bem como o efeito multiplicador induzido pela renda. Neste caso o consumo das famílias é tratado como variável endógena. Finalmente, o terceiro apresenta somente o efeito renda, resultante do aumento da demanda final. Os resultados demonstram os efeitos de uma injeção nas variáveis exógenas dos demais setores sobre a indústria da Madeira e Mobiliário e a de Papel e Papelão. Em ambas as atividades o choque mais intenso ocorreu dentro do próprio setor. O multiplicador de emprego para a indústria de Papel é Gráfica ficou na décima posição, quando comparado com a indústria de transformação, devido o setor gráfico ser mais intensivo em mão-de-obra. O emprego indireto foi a variável que teve maior dinâmica com o incremento da demanda final, ou seja, gera 48,46 empregos para 1 milhão de gastos na demanda final. Esse resultado é mais do que o dobro quando se compara com o coeficiente de emprego direto de 22,57 empregos para 1 milhão de reais investido. A indústria de Madeira e Mobiliário ficou na décima primeira posição, pois essas atividade industria é constituída principalmente de pequenas e médias empresas. O efeito renda alavanca a geração de emprego. Por ser uma atividade menos intensiva em capital, a sua relação entre salários e valor bruto da produção é maior quando se compara com a indústria de Papel e Gráfica, impulsionando o efeito-renda. Finalizando, com relação ao multiplicador de renda, a atividade de Madeira e Mobiliário ficou na oitava posição, quando comparada com os totais das atividades, e em segundo lugar, quando se tratar somente de atividades da Indústria de Transformação. Para cada 1 milhão de reais gastos na demanda final, gera uma renda de 339.148 mil reais, sendo que 102.091 mil reais referem-se ao efeito direto, 109.198 mil reais são do efeito indireto e 119.889 mil reais, ao efeito-renda. Esse resultado é decorrente desse segmento se mais intensivo em mão-de-obra, quando comparado como os demais atividades industriais. A indústria de Papel é Gráfica tem baixo coeficiente de renda direta, cerca de 23.343 mil reais para cada 1 milhão nos gastos finais, resultado da necessidade de altos investimento em formação bruta de capital. O principal coeficiente de renda é o indireto, com 165.076 mil reais para cada 1 milhão nos gasto finais, por estar ligado a uma atividade com maior multiplicador de renda, como é o caso da Agropecuária.

Resumen

Previously, our lab demonstrated that heterologous immunity could result in either gain or loss of protective immunity and alteration in immune pathology following infection by a second un-related pathogen. One of the prototypical models to study T cell-mediated heterologous immunity involves two distantly related arenaviruses, namely lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and Pichinde virus (PV). Each virus encodes a cross-reactive CD8 epitope that has six out of eight in amino acid (aa) similarity with respect to its counterpart at the position 205-212 of the nucleoprotein (NP205). Heterologous challenge between LCMV and PV results in 1) expansion of the cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cell responses and alteration of the immunodominance hierarchy and 2) partial protective immunity (heterologous immunity). Our lab showed that cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires become extremely narrowed following a heterologous challenge between LCMV and PV. Therefore, I questioned if LCMV NP205 epitope escape variants could be isolated during a dominant but narrowed crossVI reactive NP205-specific CTL response. In the first part of my thesis, I describe the isolation of a LCMV NP-V207A CTL escape variant in vivo using PV-immune animals challenged with LCMV clone 13. The LCMV NP-V207A variant contains a point mutation, which results in the switching of valine to alanine at the third non-anchoring residue of the LCMV NP205 CD8 epitope. Immunization of mice with the LCMV NP-V207A variant results in a significantly diminished cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cell response. This suggests that the point mutation is responsible for the loss in the immunogenicity of the LCMV NP205 CD8 epitope. In addition, an in vitrorescued(r) recombinant LCMV variant (r/V207A) that encodes the original mutation also induces a highly diminished cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cell response in mice. In agreement with the result obtained from the intracellular cytokine assays (ICS), MHC-Ig dimers loaded with the LCMV NP205 (V-A) peptide could only detect a minute population of cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cells in mice infected with r/V207A variant virus. All the data indicate that the point mutation results in a significant loss in immunogenicity of the LCMV NP205 CD8 epitope. So far, no direct link between the cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cells and heterologous immunity had been established in this system. Therefore, we immunized mice with either LCMV WT or the LCMV NP-V207A variant virus and showed that a significant loss of heterologous immunity is associated with the group immunized with LCMV NP-V207A variant virus. Again, r/V207Aimmune animals also displayed a significant loss in heterologous immunity following PV challenge. This suggests that the cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cells mediate the majority of heterologous immunity between LCMV and PV in vivo. In comparison to the PV-immune control group, PV clearance kinetics mediated by the cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cells were significantly delayed. Finally, these data also suggest that bystander activation plays very little role in heterologous immunity between LCMV and PV. Many studies in murine systems and humans suggest that cross-reactive T cells are often associated with immune pathology. We showed that in mice that were sequentially immunized with PV and LCMV (PV+LCMV WT double immune mice), there was a development of a high incidence and high level of immune pathology known as acute fatty necrosis (AFN) following a final PV challenge. The data suggest that these cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cells might play an important role in immune pathogenesis. Therefore, we asked if the cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cells play a role in immune pathogenesis by comparing the incidence of AFN between the (PV+LCMV WT) and the (PV+LCMV NP-V207A) double immune mice following a final PV challenge. In agreement with our hypothesis, the result showed the (PV+LCMV NP-V207A) double immune mice developed a significantly lower incidence of AFN compared to the (PV+LCMV WT) double immune mice. However, linear correlation studies comparing the frequency of different antigen-specific CD8 T cell populations within the (PV+LCMV WT) double immune mice before challenge and the severity of AFN following the PV challenge suggest that two opposing antigen-specific CD8 T cell populations are involved in determining the final outcome of the immune pathology. The PV NP38-45-specific CD8 T cell response (PV NP38) appears to be more protective than the cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cell response. In addition, a positive linear correlation between the ratio of cross-reactive NP205 to PV NP38 and the severity of AFN seem to suggest that these cross-reactive populations are important contributors to immune pathogenesis. Peptide titration studies examining the functional avidities to different antigenic specificities suggest that both populations consist of high avidity TCR and peptide MHC (TCR:pMHC) interactions. However, skewing within the cross-reactive NP205 specific CD8 T cell response towards the LCMV NP205 epitope response in one of the (PV+LCMV WT) double immune mice suggests that cross-reactive NP205 specific CD8 T cells could constitute a sub-optimal response to a PV challenge. In summary, I questioned what might be some of the immunological consequences of heterologous immunity in this model. First of all, we have established a direct link between the cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cell response and heterologous immunity in LCMV and PV. Second of all, I demonstrated that a LCMV NP205 epitope escape variant could be selected in vivo under the conditions of heterologous immunity. In addition, I showed that PV clearance kinetic was significantly delayed in cross-reactive NP205-mediated heterologous immunity as compared to homologous challenge. Finally, we demonstrated that cross-reactive NP205-specific CD8 T cells could play an important role in immune pathogenesis in this model. However, correlation data indicate that two opposing antigen-specific CD8 T cell populations could ultimately decide the outcome and magnitude of immune pathology in each individual mouse. All the data presented above strongly suggest that the cross-reactive NP205 CD8 T cells play a crucial role in immune pathology in this model system by 1) interfering with the regular establishment of immunodominance hierarchy orders, or 2) exhibiting a sub-optimal protective immunity due to the nature of the cross-reactive epitope.

Resumen

Water is an indispensible and yet a difficult resource to be renewed, thus water scarcity has become one of the major challenges faced worldwide, with the Southern regions of Africa being the most impacted and affected, especially the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa where rural communities depend on receiving waterbodies that are often negatively impacted by wastewater final effluents. This present study was conducted between August and December 2010 to assess the physicochemical and microbial qualities of the final effluents of peri-urban and rural communities based wastewater treatment plants in the Eastern Cape Province. The physicochemical parameters were determined on site and in the laboratory, while bacteriological qualities were determined using culture based techniques. The virological qualities were determined by molecular methods using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for the target RNA virus and the conventional polymerase chain reaction for the target DNA virus. For both wastewater treatment plants, the physicochemical parameters ranged as follows: chemical oxygen demand (5.95-45 mg/L); total dissolved solids (114.5-187.0 mg/L); salinity (0.12-0.20 psu); temperature (14.2-25.7oC); pH (6.0-7.6); nitrate and nitrites (1.55-6.7 mg/L and 0.023-1.15 mg/L respectively); biological oxygen demand (3.5-7.8 mg/L); turbidity (1.49-6.98 NTU); and chlorine residual (0-2.97 mg/L). Feacal indicator bacteria counts ranged as follows: feacal coliforms (0-1.25×104 cfu/100 ml); total coliforms (0-3.95×104 cfu/100 ml); and enterococci (0-5.0×103 cfu/100 ml). xviii Seventy five percent of the rural community based plant and 80 percent of the peri-urban community based plant were positive for coxsackie A virus, while hepatitis A virus was detected in all the rural community based plant 80 percent of the peri-urban community based plant. This study suggests the need for intervention by appropriate regulatory agencies to ensure regular monitoring of the qualities of final effluents of wastewater treatment facilities in the Eastern Cape Province and ensure compliance to established guidelines.

Resumen

Tra le varie isoforme di SOD quella contenente Cu e Zn è la proteina maggiormente studiata e meglio caratterizzata dal punto di vista strutturale e funzionale. Nonostante ciò, in questi ultimi anni stanno emergendo nuovi aspetti riguardanti il ruolo fisiologico di questo enzima e riguardo gli effetti della sua carenza. In particolare, si è sviluppato un grosso interesse della comunità scientifica internazionale nello studio del ruolo della Cu,ZnSOD nell’insorgenza di disordini del mitocondrio e del citoscheletro correlati alle malattie neurodegenerative e l’invecchiamento. Tramite l’uso dell’RNA interference, è stato possibile studiare adeguatamente una finestra temporale nella quale si evidenziano i principali effetti intracellulari della carenza della Cu,ZnSOD in cellule di neuroblastoma umano. Gli studi sulla down-regolazione della Cu,ZnSOD ci hanno mostrato come una piccola variazione della sua concentrazione induca comunque un effetto rapido e rilevante sullo stato redox intracellulare. e come questo abbia una sua influenza sull'omeostasi mitocondriale e sull'equilibrio del citoscheletro essenzialmente in cellule di origine neuronale. Questi dati offrono una nuova chiave di lettura per comprendere la reale importanza della Cu,ZnSOD nel sistema nervoso ed in particolare al fine di chiarire il significato della elevata concentrazione di questo enzima in questo distretto.
Among Superoxide dismutases, the copper,zinc containing form is the most studied and well caracterized. The pathological effects of its disfunction linked to mutations on its gene have been extensively studied in the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases as ALS. Although, many emerging data link not only its disfunction but also its decrease to disorders of cytoskeleton and mitochondria as ageing. By the use of RNA interference, we studied the effects of Cu,ZnSOD down-regulation in neuroblastoma cell lines in a short time-window. We demonstrated that a little decrease of Cu,ZnSOD concentration can lead to a significant change in redox homeostasis which in turn is responsible for the impairment of mitochondrial function and the transient disruption of cytoskeletal network only in neuronal deriving cells. These data give effort to the importance of Cu,ZnSOD in neuronal cells and to the real significance of its high concentration in these cells.

Texto completo

Resumen

Many earlier expert systems that were modeled after MYCIN, the first expert system, employed truth-value factors for their rule antecedents (premises) and consequents (conclusions). These crisp truth-value factors were usually called certainty factors and attempted to provide a measure of confidence and computational capability to the analysis of rule uncertainty (Shortliffe, 1977; Kandel, 1994). However, in the literature criticism has been often expressed concerning the lack of precision a crisp truth/certainty factor value conveys (Zadeh, 1983; Turban, 1993). Zadeh (1973) and Xingui (1988) utilized the weighted fuzzy average algorithm to improve the precision of truth/certainty factor values. Kandel (1994) further extended the fuzzy weighted mean concept introducing rule confidence, priority, and conclusion weighting factors. Later, Chen (1996) further modified the fuzzy weighted mean algorithm through the factoring of independent rule premise and consequent weights, truth-values and certainty factors. All of these progressive variants of the fuzzy weighted mean enhanced perceived rule antecedent and consequent truth-value. This research investigated a modification of the fuzzy weighted algorithms of Chen and Kandel utilized in assessing heuristic expert system rule truth-value. Their algorithms were modified to demonstrate that a more statistically precise rule truth-value can be achieved by utilizing the geometric mean to aggregate rule truth-value components.

Resumen

As educators and higher education administrators, it is important that we connect to our students. It serves us well to learn the stories behind those beautiful eyes looking back at us, as we support their navigation through the journey of higher education. This thesis, written in a Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN) style, will use former foster youth students, as well as at-risk youth, as the population of focus. I will relay my own personal experiences, as a former youth-in-care. I will also explore this kind of alternative upbringing, to draw closer to the conclusions and insights of the struggles and triumphs of this population's journey through higher education. I will show how the successful connections with supportive administrators, friends, and family lead to a successful student and improved human being upon graduation. When we label our marginalized students as "at-risk" we are imposing a story upon them, that is not theirs. This stereotypes where they came from dismisses their stories, and triumphs, and places them in a box that labels them. We need to provide them the same opportunities and supports that other students get to help make their way into and through college. We must remove the label of "at-risk" but this is only part of the journey in supporting these young people while they progress toward a degree. It is our job to increase success through weaving together opportunities to connect with different departments, different leaders on campus, and different groups of their peers. From the classroom, to our offices and hallways, this will help these students to create a stronger view of themselves and the world. As a former youth in foster care, I am not at-risk. I am at-promise. All the vulnerable young adults that I talk about in this thesis are not "at-risk." Instead, they are 'at-promise.'

Resumen

Aircraft structures have varying stiffness levels making them flexible. Consequently, this elastic property becomes increasingly important at high speeds affecting the flight dynamics of the aircraft. In high speed aircraft such as the F/A-18, elastic structural properties must be accounted for to ensure confidence in predicted flight dynamics in order to avoid adverse aeroelastic phenomena throughout flight. Data from the F/A-18 Active Aeroelastic Wing (AAW) program was used to create aeroservoelastic (ASE) models at varying flight conditions. The discretized ASE models were integrated into the NASA Dryden F/A-18 simulator in parallel with the traditional 6-DOF (degrees-of-freedom) flight dynamics calculations to ensure minimal disruption to the existing operating framework of the simulator. An interpolation scheme was used to construct ASE models within the known flight condition models. Data was processed through the state-space ASE models to compute the elastic effects during flight. Total flight dynamics from the simulation were analyzed and showed expected behavior for the combined elastic and rigid-body components in flight.

Resumen

The need for optimal air vessel sizing tools, in protecting large pipe networks from undue transient pressures is well known. Graphical and other heuristic methods reported in literature are limited to sizing the air vessels for simple rising mains. Although attempts have been made to utilize optimization techniques, they have been largely unsuccessful due to their impractical computational requirements. This research work proposes a robust framework for developing surge protection design tools and demonstrates the usefulness of the framework through an example air vessel sizing tool. Efficiency and robustness of the proposed framework are demonstrated by developing a design aid for air vessel sizing for protecting large pipe network systems against excessive high pressures generated by rapid valve closures. The essence of the proposed framework is in identification of key transient response parameters influencing air vessel parameters from seemingly unmanageable transient response data. This parameterization helps in exploiting the similarity between transient responses of small pipe networks and sub-sections of large pipe networks. The framework employs an extensive knowledgebase of transient pressure and flow scenarios defined from several small network models and corresponding optimal air vessel sizes obtained from a genetic algorithm optimizer. A regression model based on an artificial neural network was used on this knowledgebase to identify key parameters influencing air vessel sizes. These key parameters were used as input variables and the corresponding air vessel parameters as output variables to train the neural network model. The trained neural network model was successfully applied for large complex pipe networks to obtain optimal air vessel sizes for transient protection. The neural network model predictions were compared with optimal air vessel parameters to assess the efficacy of the proposed framework. The validity and limitation of the design aid developed and areas in the framework that need further research are also presented. The proposed frame work requires generation of hundreds of optimization data for small and simple network systems which is a daunting task since genetic algorithm-based optimization is computationally expensive. Selection of a numerically efficient and sufficiently accurate transient analysis method for use inside a genetic algorithm based optimization scheme is crucial as any reduction in transient analysis time for a network system would tremendously reduce the computational costs of bi-level genetic algorithm optimization scheme. This research work also demonstrate that the Wave Plan Method is computationally more efficient than the Method of Characteristics for similar accuracies and the resulting savings in computational costs in the transient analysis of pipe networks and subsequently in the genetic algorithm based optimization schemes are significant.

Resumen

Este trabalho apresenta o Ministério Público como agente eficaz e analisa sua atuação positiva na proteção do ambiente. Com posição constitucional, hoje privilegiada, integrante e defensor do Estado Democrático de Direito, abandona o simples invólucro de participação processual. Assim, tem-se a definição, a natureza, o regime jurídico e as formas de atuação do órgão ministerial, sempre respeitado o espaço constitucional. A sociedade de risco, descrita e presente hoje, passa a integrar a órbita de atuação ministerial, pela sua relevância diante da necessidade de defesa do ambiente. Complementa-se com o enfrentamento das questões ambientais, analisando-se os instrumentos e sua eficácia. Abordando-se o atuar pró-ativo, e observando-se os princípios ambientais e da democracia participativa, tem o Ministério Público a tarefa de ultrapassar a manutenção e preservação, para, efetivamente, propor políticas públicas visando ao futuro: direito fundamental ao ambiente.

This dissertation introduces the Public Prosecutor as an effective agent and analyses his positive actions on the environment protection. The Public Prosecutor has, today, a privileged constitutional position as a defender of Democratic State of Right, abandoning the mere position of procedural participant. So, we will have the definition, the nature, the legal regime and ways of action by the Public Prosecutor, always respecting the Constitution. The risk society present today, for its relevance, starts to integrate the field of action of Public Prosecutor, in the presence of need of the environment defense. It will be complete with facing up to the environment issues, analyzing its instruments and efficacy. The Public Prosecutor, addressing the act proactively and noting the environmental principles and participatory democracy, has the assignment to overtake the maintenance and preservation to propose public policies aimed at the future: the fundamental right to the environment.

Wireless sensor networks are increasingly being deployed for fine-grain monitoring of physical environments subjected to critical conditions such as fire, leaking of toxic gases and explosions. A great challenge to these networks is to provide a fast, reliable and fault tolerant channel for event propagation. The protocol has to meet the requirements of querybased, event-driven and periodic sensor network application scenarios, even in the presence of emergency conditions that can lead to node failures and path disruption to the sink that receives those events. This paper presents a fault tolerant and low latency routing protocol that meets the sensor networks requirements for critical condition monitoring applications. The algorithm uses the publish/subscribe mechanism and the concept of event driven delivery, a technique that selects the shortest path for the notification of events, reducing latency. Fault tolerance is achieved through the triggering of a local path repair mechanism to find new paths with minimal number of transmissions. The protocol was implemented and simulated in the ns-2 network simulator and compared to the Directed Diffusion paradigm. Relevant metrics, such as end-to-end delay, energy dissipation, and delivery ratio, were evaluated showing that the proposed algorithm can be an adequate solution to meet the strict requirements of information propagation in real-time monitoring applications. An extension of the proposed protocol is also presented. This extension is in phase of implementation and simulation and it is expected to reduce data traffic and, consequently, reduce the energy dissipation. This new solution follows a hierarchical approach to propagate data through the network.
As redes de sensores sem fio estão cada vez mais sendo aplicadas para o monitoramento preciso de ambientes físicos sujeitos a situações criticas como incêndios, vazamento de gases tóxicos e explosões. Um grande desafio para essas redes é oferecer um canal rápido, confiável e tolerante a falhas para a difusão dos dados coletados, que atenda aos requisitos dos diferentes tipos de monitoramento, como periódico, baseado em consultas e dirigido a eventos, mesmo na presença de condições de emergência que podem causar falhas nos nós sensores e interrupção de caminhos de entrega de dados. Este trabalho apresenta um protocolo de roteamento de baixa latência e tolerante a falhas que atende os requisitos das aplicações de redes de sensores, especialmente as aplicações de monitoramento de condições críticas. O algoritmo de roteamento utiliza o mecanismo publish/subscribe e o conceito de entrega dirigida a eventos, uma técnica que seleciona o caminho mais curto para a notificação de eventos, reduzindo a latência. A tolerância a falhas é acionada localmente por nós que detectam alguma falha em um nó vizinho. O protocolo foi implementado e simulado no simulador de redes ns-2 e comparado ao conhecido paradigma Directed Diffusion. Métricas importantes, como atraso fim-a-fim, consumo de energia e taxa de sucesso no recebimento de pacotes, foram avaliadas demonstrando que o protocolo proposto pode ser uma solução apropriada para atender aos rigorosos requisitos de propagação de informações em aplicações de monitoramento em tempo real. É apresentada também uma extensão do protocolo proposto. Essa extensão está em fase de implementação e simulação e espera-se que reduza o trafego de dados e, conseqüentemente, o consumo de energia. Essa nova solução segue uma abordagem hierárquica para a propagação de dados na rede.

This study presents some possible solutions to the urban solid waste destination. The challenge for the some possible candidates for urban solid waste destinations. The challenge for solid waste management is first to reduce the quantity of solid waste generated, and to make viable the recycling process, and subsequently to establish a proposal for avoiding the disposal of solid waste without any treatment. In order to understand such solutions, an example of the community of Indaia, located in the city of Bertioga on the Atlantic coast of São Paulo State, Brazil, is examined. After an analysis of the waste management system in operation in Riviera de São Lourenço in the neighboring district, it was proposed that this same solution should be applied to the Indaia area. This paper discusses the difficulty of managing the increased volume of solid waste, due to urban environmental problems caused by pollution. Specifically, the inadequate disposal of waste may cause serious problems to the urban environment. Discussed are the difficulties for the management of solid waste increases caused by urban expansion directly proportional to pollution growth. There is a necessity for an aggregate waste destination or recycling processes. The objective of this thesis is to detail the organization of waste management to be applied in the Indaia area, and to propose a reduction in M.S.W. (Municipal Solid Waste) production, and an increase in the recycling process due to waste management and a proper waste destination. By means ofthis study and understanding of the operational process of solid waste management and the sources of waste. Specifically, the analysis of when the waste is produced, through suitable separation (done by the population, or by specialized enterprises), on to packing and transport to get to the waste sorting station, and its final disposition, which finalizes the process and the possible recycling of solid waste. The advantages and disadvantages are presented as the result of the usage of S.W.M. (Solid Waste Management), its different process and its difficulties for implementation in the urban area, thus increasing the routine of recycling materials from communal rubbish. The possibility of making this effective and of practicing the proposed organization and management as in the mentioned example is also discussed. The advantage of the practice of a suitable process is to increase the reuse of materials that were previously part of an improper waste management scheme. The advantage of the practice of a suitable process is the increase in the reuse and the recycling of waste, separating the useful waste from improper disposal without wastage. The disadvantage of this process is the difficulty in organizing the neighbourhood or city involved, so that the process supports itself, since it comprises various segments, from the individual citizen to public and private enterprises and labor unions.The conclusion is that solid waste management, with health, public services attendance and urban services, such as waste collecting systems, waste reutilization, health system attendance and a separated collecting systems for dangerous materials, is extremely necessary in order to maintain the quality of life in the community. In order to gain an understanding of this process, we may consider that soil contamination, and also air and water contamination, causes a negative environmental impact in a very high degree, and that urban areas need a strict solid waste management system, as mentioned in Law 12.305/10.The main laws in force (working laws), in the state and the municipality, that stimulate the improvement of the system, by means of a participative management, in other words: the population needs to participate, being aware of the problems and the solutions given to the issue.It is enhanced that solid waste management is a fundamental factor for the health of the environment.
O presente estudo procura apresentar algumas possíveis soluções para a gestão dos Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos (RSU). O desafio para a gestão dos resíduos diz respeito tanto à redução da quantidade de geração do resíduo sólido urbano gerado, quanto à viabilização da reciclagem desses resíduos, propondo um fim para o descarte dos resíduos sem qualquer tratamento. Para o bom entendimento de tais soluções, toma-se como exemplo o bairro de Indaiá, situado na cidade de Bertioga, Litoral do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Após uma análise do sistema de gestão de resíduo vigente no bairro vizinho, Riviera de São Lourenço, procura-se aplicar a mesma solução no Indaiá. Discute-se a problemática da sociedade contemporânea, que tem de algum modo sentido os problemas ambientais urbanos ocasionados pela poluição, prejudicial a todo o planeta. Discute-se a dificuldade de gestão do volume aumentado de resíduos sólidos, diretamente proporcional ao aumento do consumo da população. A produção e os descartes inadequados desses resíduos faz parte do cotidiano da sociedade. Há necessidade de descarte adequado ou de reaproveitamento de tais resíduos. Esta tese objetiva o detalhamento de uma organização para a gestão de resíduos, a ser aplicada na área do bairro do Indaiá, na qual se propõem: a redução na produção de Resíduo Sólido do bairro, o aumento da quantidade de resíduos destinados à reciclagem, devido ao gerenciamento, à separação e à destinação correta desses resíduos. Por meio do estudo e do entendimento do processo operacional de gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos na sua geração, ou seja, quando o resíduo é produzido, a partir do descarte; passando pela separação, pela população ou pelas empresas; seguindose o processo de acondicionamento; o transporte para as estações de transferência ou transbordo; e, finalmente, chegando à central de triagem e à disposição final, terminando o processamento, a recuperação e sua possível reciclagem. São apresentadas as vantagens e as desvantagens do uso de um Sistema de Gestão de Resíduo (SGR), os seus diferentes processos e as dificuldades que se apresentam para a implantação em área urbana, aumentando, dessa forma, a prática da retirada dos resíduos recicláveis do lixo comum. Discute-se aprofundadamente, no exemplo em foco, a possibilidade de se efetivar a organização e o gerenciamento propostos. A vantagem em se realizar o processo adequado é o evidente aumento do reuso e da reciclagem dos resíduos, apartando os resíduos úteis do descarte inadequado, sem desperdiçá-los; a desvantagem assinalada nesse processo fica por conta da dificuldade em se organizar o bairro ou a cidade envolvidos, para que o processo se sustente, já que abrange uma série de atores e fatores, tais como: infraestrutura, envolvimento de diversos segmentos, desde o cidadão, individualmente, até as iniciativas públicas, privadas e a União. Pode-se concluir, dessa forma, o Sistema de Gestão de Resíduo é necessário para a manutenção da qualidade de vida da comunidade. Para a compreensão desse processo, parte-se do pressuposto de que as contaminações do solo, da água e do ar inserem alto grau de impacto ambiental negativo nas áreas urbanas, que necessitam, portanto, de serviços públicos e de infraestrutura urbana, contando, então, com um sistema de gestão de resíduos sólidos, conforme a lei 12.305/10. Focalizam-se as principais legislações em vigor, no estado e no município, que procuram estimular o aperfeiçoamento desse sistema de gestão, por meio de uma gestão participativa, ou seja: a população precisa participar, tomando ciência dos problemas e do encaminhamento dado à questão. Assim, destaca-se que a gestão de resíduos sólidos pode se tornar um ponto importante para a saúde do ambiente construído.

Resumen

This dissertation concerns the application of a method for developing context dependent CASE-tool evaluation frameworks. Evaluation of CASE-tools prior to adoption is an important but complex issue; there are a number of reports in the literature of the unsuccessful adoption of CASE-tools. The reason for this is that the tools have often failed in meeting contextual expectations. The genuine interest and willingness among organisational stakeholder to participate in the study indicate that evaluation of CASE-tools is indeed a relevant problem, for which method support is scarce.

To overcome these problems, a systematic approach to pre-evaluation has been suggested, in which contextual demands and expectations are elucidated before evaluating technology support.

The proposed method has been successfully applied in a field study. This dissertation contains a report and reflections on its use in a specific organisational context. The application process rendered an evaluation framework, which accounts for demands and expectations covering the entire information systems development life cycle relevant to the given context.

The method user found that method transfer was indeed feasible, both from method description to the analyst and further from the analyst to the organisational context. Also, since the span of the evaluation framework and the organisation to which the method was applied is considered to be large, this indicates that the method scales appropriately for large organisations.

Resumen

Vi valde ämnet som handlar om möjligheten att få ett lågkostnadsflygbolag opererande på Karlstad flygplats därför att det är en intressant fråga om regionen skulle gynnas av ett lågkostnadsflyg eller inte så väl som flygplatsens existens. På senare tid har det i media också ofta framkommit att flygplatsen har ekonomiska problem.

Idén till vårt syfte uppkom efter att ha läst rapporten som Handelskammaren i Värmland skrev angående vikten av flygförbindelser till och från Karlstad flygplats för regionen. I den rapporten framkom det att det var önskvärt med ett lågkostnadsflyg från Karlstad flygplats.

Frågan kring ett lågkostnadsflyg från Karlstad Flygplats presenteras genom användning av teorier för risk, uppdragsgivare- uppdragstagareproblemet och beslutstagande. Alla dessa områden är sammanhängande.

Vi intervjuade Göteborg/Säve-, Stockholm/Skavstas-, Jönköpings/Axamo- och Smaland/Växjöflygplats för att få information om aktuell situation på respektive flygplats med eller utan opererande lågkostnadsflyg. Frågorna som ställdes var av liknande karaktär, men det utgjordes en skillnad mellan dem, beroende om de tillhörde gruppen som redan har lågkostnadsflyg eller om de önskar ha ett lågkostnadsflyg.

Vi fann likheter mellan flygplatserna och de ledandes uppfattning i frågan om lågkostnadsflyg. Det visade sig även att det för flygplatsen är kostsamt att ha ett lågkostnadsflyg opererande, men att det däremot är fördelaktigt för regionen. Utöver det bör risken delas mellan fler än en intressent. För att bli framgångsrik måste man göra uppoffringar och lätta på attityden till risk hos intressenterna.

We chose our topic, regarding the possibility to get a low-cost airline operating at Karlstad airport, because it is an interesting question whether the region could benefit from a low cost airline or not as well as the existence of the airport. And lately the airport has been discussed in media.

The idea to our purpose arose after having read the report by Wermland Chamber of Commerce regarding the importance of flight connections to and from Karlstad airport, for the region. In this report it appeared that it was desirable with a low-cost airline at Karlstad airport.

This topic is presented by applying theories about an interested party model, risk, agency theory, decision making and growth. All these areas are somehow connected.

We interviewed persons in managing positions at Göteborg/Säve, Stockholm/Skavsta, Jönköping/Axamo and Smaland/Växjö airport, who gave information about the actual situation at their airport respectively. The first two airports have operating low-cost airlines and the last two have not. We also interview partners in Värmland to get their view of the situation at Karlstad airport. The questions were roughly the same, with a difference made if they belonged to the group that has a low-cost airline or if they belonged to the group without a low-cost airline.

We found that there are similarities between the airports. And it turned out that having a low-cost airline operating at an airport is a costly business for the airport, but it seems to be advantageous for the region. And that the risk ought to be diversified between more than one interested parties. In order to be successful you have to make sacrifices and lighten up all parties’ attitudes to risk.

Resumen

O Teste de Sentar e Alcançar (TSA) é o teste mais utilizado para avaliação de flexibilidade dos isquiotibiais, contudo, alguns fatores influenciam o seu resultado como o comportamento da coluna vertebral. Esta pesquisa objetiva determinar a contribuição da articulação do quadril, da coluna lombar e da coluna torácica na execução do TSA em jovens brasileiros. Foi realizado um estudo observacional descritivo com uma amostra composta por 195 rapazes de 18 a 19 anos. Para identificar a contribuição dos segmentos corporais no movimento de flexão do tronco, realizou-se juntamente com o TSA uma análise cinemática angular por meio de Fotogrametria. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um protocolo de avaliação de ângulos de referência que foram transformados em percentuais de contribuição dos segmentos. Os ângulos e percentuais foram classificados em dois padrões de referência do TSA, os quais permitiram identificar que quanto melhor a classificação no TSA, maior a utilização do quadril e menor a utilização da coluna torácica. A coluna lombar manteve-se estável durante o movimento. Os ângulos e percentuais foram classificados também nas categorias de IMC, revelando que indivíduos obesos utilizam mais o quadril para realizar o movimento, pois não conseguem fazer compensação com a coluna torácica. Com base nos resultados, foi possível criar uma tabela de classificação dos ângulos e percentuais, que permitiu identificar compensações e padrões de movimento conforme a condição das musculaturas envolvidas. Pôde-se concluir que as contribuições médias da coluna torácica, da coluna lombar e do quadril na realização do TSA são respectivamente: 46,014%, 12,676%, 41,309%. Entretanto, a medida do TSA propriamente dita não permite esse detalhamento, pois seu resultado faz referência à flexão total do tronco juntamente com a flexão do quadril. Assim, recomenda-se que a avaliação da flexão da coluna torácica, da coluna lombar e do quadril seja realizada separadamente, por fotogrametria, com base no protocolo e parâmetros médios estabelecidos neste estudo, por meio da classificação de seus valores nas categorias propostas.
The Sit and Reach Test (SR) is the most widely used assessment of hamstrings flexibility, however, some factors can influence their results as a behavior of the spine. This research aims to determine the contribution of the hip joint, of the lumbar and thoracic spine in the execution of SR in young Brazilians. The descriptive observational study subjects were 195 young men from 18 to 19 years. To identify the contribution of body segments in flexion of the trunk it was evaluated the SR together with angular kinematic analysis through of Photogrammetry. To that end, we developed a protocol for evaluating reference angles that were transformed into percentage contribution of the segments. The angles and percentages were classified into two reference standards of the SR, which identified that the best ranking in SR, greater use of hip and lower utilization of the thoracic spine. The lumbar spine was stable during movement. The angles and percentages were also classified in the categories of BMI, revealing that obese people use more hip to perform the movement, because they cannot make compensation with thoracic spine. Based on the results, it was possible to create a table of classification of angles and percentages, which allowed for the identification and compensation movement patterns in accordance with the condition of the muscles involved. It can be concluded the contributions of the thoracic spine, lumbar spine and hip in performing the SR are respectively 46.014%, 12.676%, 41.309%. However, only the measure of the SR does not permit this detail because its result refers to the total trunk flexion and hip flexion. Thus, it is recommended that evaluation of flexion of the thoracic spine, lumbar spine and hip joint are performed separately by photogrammetry, based on the average parameters and protocol established in this study, through the classification of their values in the proposed categories.

Resumen

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most threatening epidemics of modern times with rapidly increasing incidence. Vanadium and peroxovanadium compounds have been shown to exert insulin–like actions and, in contrast to insulin, are orally applicable. However, problems with side–effects and toxicity remain. The exact mechanism(s) by which these compounds act are not yet fully known. Thus, a better understanding of the aqueous chemistry of vanadates and peroxovanadates in the presence of various (bio)ligands is needed.

The present thesis summarises six papers dealing mainly with aqueous speciation in different vanadate – and peroxovanadate – ligand systems of biological and medical relevance. Altogether, five ligands have been studied, including important blood constituents (lactate, citrate and phosphate), a potential drug candidate (picolinic acid), and a dipeptide (alanyl serine) to model the interaction of (peroxo)vanadate in the active site of enzymes. Since all five ligands have been studied both with vanadates and peroxovanadates, the number of systems described in the present work is eleven, including the vanadate – citrate – lactate mixed ligand system. The pH–independent formation constants have been determined for 33 ternary vanadate – ligand, 41 quaternary peroxovanadate – ligand and two vanadate – mixed ligand species in addition to the pK_a values of all five ligands. These constants have been used to model physiological conditions, and the biomedical relevance of the different species is discussed.

The studies have been performed at 25 ºC in the physiological medium of 0.150 M Na(Cl), i.e. the ionic strength of human blood. No buffers have been used, and wide pH–ranges have usually been covered. The applied experimental techniques comprise mostly ⁵¹V NMR and potentiometry, but ³¹P, ¹³C, ¹H and ¹⁴N NMR as well as EPR and ESI–MS have also been used to gain additional information. Multimethod data have been treated by the least–squares program LAKE and modelling has been carried out by the software package WinSGW.

Whenever possible, solution structures of the species have been proposed. In addition, simple biological tests have been carried out to determine the stability of the formed peroxovanadate complexes in the presence of human catalase. A brief comparison is given of the different vanadate – ligand and peroxovanadate – ligand systems with emphasis on observed trends and general features.

Resumen

alterações que a afasia acarreta na escrita do sujeito acometido por esta patologia, além de proporcionar uma nova abordagem no processo terapêutico do afásico. Para tanto, participaram desta pesquisa 04 sujeitos portadores de afasia que fazem parte da Oficina de Escrita do Grupo de Convivência da Universidade Católica de Pernambuco (UNICAP), a qual tem como finalidade abordar e trabalhar os aspectos relacionados à linguagem escrita. A análise dos dados foi qualitativa, uma vez que este estudo se propôs a observar a produção textual do afásico diante de diferentes gêneros textuais, e assim identificar qual o gênero textual mais recorrente e produzido com maior facilidade pelo portador de afasia. Após a análise dos dados coletados, foi possível observar que os afásicos apresentaram facilidade em produzir gêneros textuais ligados a situações concretas, em contraposição à produção dos gêneros que necessitaram realizar uma relação com situações abstratas. Deste modo, é importante que os fonoaudiólogos admitam uma postura funcional ao invés da organicista, possibilitando o distanciamento dos testes que focalizam usos descontextualizados da linguagem, os quais excluem os aspectos subjetivos e heterogêneos da linguagem. Portanto, a (re)habilitação da afasia deve permitir que os afásicos utilizem práticas de escrita que só os gêneros escritos podem proporcionar, uma vez que esta postura mostra-se como um caminho frutífero para o trabalho terapêutico fonoaudiológico

This research has as its theme dropout rates in distance education (DE). Faced with the demands of society, distance education is emerging as an important means of disseminating knowledge and democratization of access to education. Dropout therefore occupies an important space in the scenario of public educational policy, and has been a major obstacle to DE. In this context, the research seeks to answer the question: What were the factors that influenced dropout rates in the Mathematics Degree Distance Course (MDDC) of the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel)? The main objective was to investigate the factors contributing to the dropouts in DE at the MDDC. For this, the following specific objectives were outlined: to contextualize distance education as a public education policy; to characterize the dropout phenomenon; to understand the perceptions of coordinators, teachers, tutors, and students concerning the dropout causes, and to analyze the factors that influence the dropout rates. The unit of analysis is the Mathematics Degree Distance Course, offered by UFPel, linked to the Open University of Brazil. For this we conducted a qualitative case study, making use of various sources of evidence, to understand the dropout phenomenon, such as semistructured interviews with coordinators, teachers, tutors, and dropouts, in addition to document analysis and observations. According to data obtained in August 2015 with the MDDC coordination, in the first semester of 2011, 1,100 vacancies were offered, 960 students were enrolled, 259 students completed, 50 students were in progress, distributed in 22 poles in the South. There were 651 dropouts, representing 67.81% of the total enrollment. In the specific case of this course, 50 vacancies were offered, 50 students were enrolled, 23 students graduated, 3 students were in progress, and 24 students dropped out. These significant results are important symptoms that cannot go unnoticed, especially since democratization of access to higher education is considered an emerging, complex, and extremely important theme towards reducing social inequalities in Brazil. The results indicate as causes that: most of those enrolled did not know Distance Education well enough, did not fit into its methodology, and did not consider the commitment needed to study. Besides, there were the following factors: delay of feedback from tutors; difficulties with the virtual learning environment; difficulty in reading and interpreting texts; difficulties in adapting to distance learning; the sense of isolation; frustration of course expectations, difficulties during the course, being the main ones related to the amount of content and tasks proposed; difficulties visiting the Support Center for Distance Learning; financial costs of travel and accommodation expenses, and simultaneous demands of travel, work and family, which made it difficult for students to pursue their studies. The results indicate that the dropout rates in distance education are connected to a multiplicity of factors, making it more complex and challenging to overcome.
A presente pesquisa tem como tema a evasão de alunos na educação a distância (EaD). Diante das demandas da sociedade, a educação a distância vem surgindo como importante meio de difusão do conhecimento e de democratização do acesso à educação. Por essa razão, a evasão ocupa espaço de relevância no cenário das políticas públicas educacionais e tem sido um dos maiores obstáculos para a EaD. Pela importância que o tema assume nesse contexto, esta investigação buscou responder à seguinte questão: quais os fatores que influenciaram a evasão de alunos no Curso de Licenciatura em Matemática a Distância (CLMD) da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel) – Polo de Apoio ao Ensino a Distância (PAED)? O objetivo central foi investigar os fatores que contribuíram para a evasão de alunos na modalidade de EaD do CLMD. Para isso, foram delineados os seguintes objetivos específicos: contextualizar a EaD como política pública de educação; caracterizar o fenômeno evasão; conhecer a percepção dos coordenadores, professores, tutores e alunos sobre as causas da evasão. A unidade de análise é o Curso de Licenciatura em Matemática a Distância, ofertado pela UFPel, vinculado à Universidade Aberta do Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo de caso, fazendo-se uso de várias fontes de evidências, tais como: entrevista semiestruturada com coordenadores, professores, tutores e alunos evadidos, além da análise de documentos. Conforme dados obtidos em agosto de 2015 junto à coordenação do CLMD, em 2011/1, foram oferecidas 1100 vagas, matriculados 960 alunos, formados 259 alunos, permanecendo, ainda, 50 alunos no curso, distribuídos em 22 polos da região sul. Houve 651 evasões, o que representa 67,81% do total de matriculados. No caso específico do Polo de Apoio ao Ensino a Distância, foram ofertadas 50 vagas, matriculados 50 alunos, formados 23 alunos, permanecendo três alunos no curso em recuperação e 24 alunos evadidos. Esses números significativos são sintomas importantes que não podem passar despercebidos, ainda mais quando a democratização do acesso à educação superior é considerada tema emergente, complexo e de fundamental importância para a redução das desigualdades sociais no Brasil. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a evasão ocorreu porque os matriculados não conheciam aram m fatores que levaram á evasão foram: demora de feedback por parte dos tutores; dificuldades no ambiente virtual de aprendizagem; dificuldade na leitura e interpretação dos textos; dificuldade de adaptação a EaD; sentimento de isolamento; frustração das expectativas com relação ao curso; dificuldades no acompanhamento do curso, sendo as principais relacionadas à grande quantidade de conteúdo e de tarefas propostas; dificuldades em frequentar o Polo de Apoio ao Ensino a Distância; custos financeiros com viagens e estadias; e as demandas simultâneas durante o curso, relativas a trabalho e família, que impossibilitaram alguns alunos dar seguimento aos estudos. Esses resultados indicam que a evasão do curso está ligada a uma multiplicidade de fatores, o que torna sua superação mais complexa e desafiadora.

Este estudo tratou da colaboração como estratégia para aumento da competitividade empresarial. Levou em consideração dois eixos teóricos para fundamentar as análises. Um clássico, apoiado na Teoria da Competitividade Nacional de Porter (1989), que defende que as empresas são condicionadas ao meio onde competem e são forçadas a dar respostas estratégicas conforme exigidas, e o segundo eixo teórico baseado nas contribuições da sociologia para as organizações, com foco na análise do comportamento dos indivíduos (atores) que se utilizam dos relacionamentos para realizar suas tarefas. Conhecida como Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS), esta abordagem entende que as empresas, por meio de seus atores, trocam fluxos (informação, prestígio, afeição, conhecimento, influência, etc.) que, muitas vezes, podem dar vantagens competitivas a quem capitaliza a sua utilização. A verificação empírica, realizada com 63 empresas da área de Tecnologia da Informação da região de Santos, organizados em um Arranjo Produtivo Local em gestação, para atender demandas, principalmente de empresas ligadas à cadeia produtiva do petróleo e gás (P&G), mostrou haver evidências tanto das teorias de Porter, percebida na configuração das empresas, que apesar de estarem além da sobrevivência (mais de 70% tem, no mínimo, seis anos de idade) não demonstram crescimento compatível com suas longevidades; e na pressão atual que as condições de demanda e da rivalidade de novos entrantes, atraídos pela cadeia de P&G, exercem sobre as empresas locais, quanto na afirmação da ARS de que atores podem se utilizar estrategicamente do reconhecimento das redes sociais e, deliberadamente, se posicionarem a fim de atingir seus objetivos empresariais. Demonstrado nos resultados da pesquisa pela concentração de fluxos em atores específicos, que, por isso, tornam-se vitais para a rede e para as outras empresas conectadas. Concluiu-se não haver um choque direto entre as duas abordagens teóricas, mas uma complementaridade, onde a ARS aprofunda a visão de Porter e, se utilizadas em conjunto, podem servir como poderosa ferramenta de análise e apoio à movimentação estratégica empresarial.

Rice crop area in Apodi River Valley, RN, Brazil, had a significant increase due to construction of Santa Cruz dam, which improved water availability downstream of the reservoir. Rice crop has been adversely affected by problems like disorganization of farmers, inefficient commercialization, product without added value, indiscriminate use of chemical inputs, loss of yield, decrease in plant vigor, and lower tillering. In this context, this work had as objectives to study causes of yield loss in irrigated red rice crop at Apodi River Valley; specifically, to study the effects of irrigation water used in that region and of soil salinity on red rice crop yield, besides to study spatial variability of physical and chemical soil characteristics of soil irrigated and cropped with red rice. The work was carried out in three small farms, where a georeferenced sampling grid was delimited with regular spacing, in which points were taken samples of soil and plants to determinate soil physical and chemical characteristics and, in two areas, yield components of red rice, allowing the use of geostatistics to study spatial variability. Rice yield and its components showed spatial dependence, which allowed the drawing of isovalue maps of the studied areas. Soil physical and chemical characteristics also showed spatial variability and correlated with rice yield components. The two studied areas showed different behavior in relation to spatial dependence and correlations. In the area of Francisco rice yield showed correlations mainly with distance to water inlet and with calcium to magnesium ratio, while in the area of Márcio the better correlation was with potassium
A cultura do arroz irrigado no vale do rio Apodi, RN, teve um aumento significativo na área plantada devido à construção da barragem de Santa Cruz, que melhorou a disponibilidade hídrica à jusante deste reservatório. Esta cultura vem sofrendo uma série de problemas, passando desde a desorganização dos plantadores, comercialização deficiente, inexistência de valor agregado ao produto, uso indiscriminado de insumos químicos, perda da produtividade, diminuição do vigor das plantas e menor perfilhamento. Neste sentido, este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar as causas das perdas de produtividade na cultura arroz vermelho irrigado no vale do rio Apodi; em particular estudar os efeitos da água de irrigação utilizada e da salinização do solo sobre a produtividade da cultura e estudar a variabilidade espacial das propriedades físicas e químicas do solo, irrigado e cultivado com arroz vermelho. O trabalho foi realizado em três pequenas propriedades, em cada uma das quais foi delimitada uma malha de pontos de amostragem georeferenciados com espaçamento regular e, nestes pontos, foram realizadas as coletas de solo e de planta para determinar atributos químicos e físicos do solo e, em duas delas, os componentes de produção do arroz vermelho, permitindo assim o uso da geoestatística para estudar a variabilidade espacial dos atributos. A produtividade do arroz e seus componentes apresentaram dependência espacial sendo possível a construção de mapas de isolinhas das áreas em estudo; constatou-se também variabilidade dos atributos físicos e químicos dos solos estudados e a existência de correlações entre os componentes de produção e alguns destes atributos. As duas áreas em que foram estudados os componentes de produção apresentaram comportamento diferenciado quanto à dependência espacial e as correlações, sendo que na área de Francisco a produtividade apresentou correlações principalmente com a distância da entrada de água na área e com a relação cálcio:magnésio, enquanto que na área de Márcio as correlações mais evidenciadas foram com potássio

The objective of this research was to discuss the perspective of historical biography which respect the intellectual productions of Arnold Silva had with the political project of power / group progress (s) dominant in Feira de Santana Ba the 1909-1930 period. We seek to identify the elements that characterize as initially member of the local intelligentsia and then the factors that inserted into an oligarchy political / economic. Our intention was to understand what direct impact your intellectual discourse and its political practices had on the cultural framework / politician Feirense society. The emphasis was as temporal beacon studies landmarks limits of year 1909, being the first time we find intellectual records of Arnold Silva authored in North Folha and 1930, which represented the final year of political activity in city before becoming deputy. We have come a trajectory that analyzed their family relationships, school and vocational training, production of chronic, columns and speeches, linked to a performance in the field of philanthropy, arts and law as a shyster and reverberated in action as mayor and member of city council, without despising its activities in the economic institutions of the metropolis and quarrels against a journal Salvador.

The globalization of the stock market has put into evidence not only issues related to the practice of corporate governance but also concerning the shareholder s possibilities of gains. Therefore, guided by theoretical fundamentals, it was made the attempt to observe the conduct of the companies listed at the Differentiated Levels of Corporate Governance as well as at the Bovespa New Market in order to reach the following purposes: (a) to verify whether or not the afore mentioned companies adopt the practices mostly recommended by the Value Based Management (VBM); (b) to verify the level of importance the companies, adopting the VBM model, give to the mostly recommended practices; (c) to verify whether the companies adopting the VBM model, count with more valuable stocks than the ones not doing so. It could be verified that 45% of the companies listed at the Differentiated Levels of Corporate Governance as well as at the Bovespa New Market adopt the VBM model, and such companies, according to the theoretical fundamentals, let themselves be guided by the so called good VBM practices at a rate of 47%. The importance given to the model - when putting the model into practice reached 91%. At last, it was verified that the differences - as far as the stock ratings are concerned between the companies adopting the VBM model and those not adopting the VBM model are not statistically significant.

Resumen

Lower back pain (LBP) is a medical condition that will affect most of us at some point in our lives. Several medical causes have been identified for LBP, yet the large majority of LBP patients do not receive a specific diagnosis. These patients use up a large majority of health care resources, and accumulate billions of dollars in medical costs in countries throughout the globe. In recent years, an increasing focus has been placed on the idea that aquatic therapy may be an effective therapy for LBP patients. Exercise therapy has already proven itself as an effective means for treating LBP. Thus, combined with the unique properties of water, experts believe that aquatic therapy is the future of LBP treatment. This thesis aims to explore the efficacy of aquatic therapy as a treatment for LBP. Through the analysis of controlled peer-reviewed studies, scholarly information databases, and historical data on LBP treatment, this thesis evaluates the relationship between aquatic therapy and LBP in its entirety. Scientific properties of water have shown its many uses in rehabilitative therapy treatments. Water, in theory, is able to manipulate the exercise environment to allow for more substantial progress to be made. In studies where aquatic therapy was tested versus no treatment, aquatic therapy proved to be a more efficient and effective option. Still, when placed against other therapies, aquatic therapy did not always prove more effective. While the analyzed studies support the idea that aquatic therapy is an effective treatment for LBP, further research is needed to determine how aquatic therapy holds up against other forms of treatment.

Resumen

This thesis aims to discuss the concept of Assisted Reproduction Technology and its social and affective impacts. Women will be at the center of this research as it has been thought that emotional stressors are mostly effective on them. In the present work, an investigation will be carried out among women who have used assisted reproduction technology methods and women who are able to reproduce and conceive &ldquo
naturally&rdquo
. The comparison of these two groups will illuminate problematical aspects of assisted reproduction technology. The research will be based on two sets of questionnaires designed for each group of women. In this study, both qualitative and quantitative data were used. These analyses will not only lead us to compare infertile and fertile women&rsquo
s responses and evaluate the consequences of emergent assisted reproduction technology but also to assess its social and emotional impacts.

Resumo: Nesta dissertação apresentamos um sistema automatizado para a calibração de instrumentos com interface IEEE-488 (General Purpose Interface Bus, GPIB),desenvolvido no Laboratório de Calibração Elétrica (LACE) junto ao Departamento de Comunicações (DECOM) da UNICAMP. O sistema integra em uma única rede, instrumentos dos mais diversos fabricantes, tais como: Hewlett Packard, Tektronix, Fluke, National Instruments, Valhalla Scientific e outros. Para isso, é utilizado o cartão controlador PC-IIA da National Instruments, o qual, colocado dentro de um microcomputador IBM-PC, permite realizar o controle de toda a operação da rede, junto ao software desenvolvido chamado GPIBNet, que por sua vez padroniza a comunicação entre todos os instrumentos. Este sistema permite automatizar rotinas de aferição, calibração e teste, compatibilizando as especificações dos diferentes equipamentos. Com essa utilização, busca-se um aumento significativo da produtividade e principalmente da qualidade da medição, devido à minimização e compensação dos erros relativos ao sistema de medição e à apreciação humana. Além disso, possibilita-se a operação do sistema na máxima eficiência e facilita-se a geração da documentação (relatórios, certificados e tabelas )

Resumen

Before the publication of Professor Richard Hunter’s Cambridge Classics edition in August 2015, the last large-scale commentary on Apollonius Rhodius’ Argonautica Book 4 was that of Enrico Livrea in Italian in 1973, though mention should be made of the Budé volumes edited by Vian (1974–81). During this period the literary study of the poem has undergone a virtual revolution. The present thesis is an attempt to update and advance the work of the poem’s previous editors. It is intended as a prolegomenon to a commentary on the whole Book. Apollonius’ epic is an outstanding example of Hellenistic poetic practice, embodying all of its allusive qualities. It draws on the entire tradition of previous Greek literature, while maintaining an innovative point-of-view. This commentary tries to elucidate Apollonius’ experiments with respect to all aspects of style and narration, viewing him both as an important literary critic, closely involved in maintaining the inheritance of Classical Greece, and as a creative artist intent on developing an individual voice. The section chosen for commentary exhibits many aspects of Apollonius’ artistry: passages of atmospheric description, action sequences which speed the narrative, speeches, in some of which irony predominates while in others rhetoric prevails, similes which often contain fine images and a macabre climax of chilling power which achieves its effects through a number of striking and original details. There are, therefore, many reasons why the poem as a whole was enormously influential on Latin epic, especially on Virgil’s Aeneid, and why the story and Apollonius’ methods of retelling it enjoyed such an important reception in the European tradition.

Resumen

RESUMO Serão investigadas, nesta dissertação, as origens da democracia ateniense através da análise de quatro epigramas de Simônides de Ceos e da contextualização de alguns outros. Partindo do assassinato de Hiparco por Harmódio e Aristogíton e traçando suas conseqüências, tanto do ponto de vista mítico quando político, tentaremos demonstrar como o povo, agora identificado como mesmo ideal de igualdade perante a lei (isonomia), foi capaz de afastar tanto o perigo de uma helotização da Ática, quanto o de uma submissão ao império aquemênida, ao vencer duas batalhas decisivas, cujo relato foi preservado em inscrições que chegaram até nós sob o nome de Simônides por transmissão literária ou epigráfica ou ambas. Também iremos lidar com todos os aspectos relativos à composição, caráter e transmissão de cada um dos quatro epigramas comentados, além de fornecer uma tradução de todos os outros - incluindo os novos fragmentos elegíacos recentemente descobertos - que possam ter alguma relevância para o assunto em questão.
The origins of Athenian democracy are herein surveyed through the analysis of four Simonidean epigrams and the canvassing of several others. Starting from the murder of Hipparchus by Harmodius and Aristogeiton, and following its consequences, both mythic and political, we shall proceed to demonstrate how the people, now identified with the same democratic ideal, was able to eschew both the danger of helotization by Sparta and submission by the Persian Empire by its winning two decisive battles recorded in inscriptions that came down to us either through literary or epigraphical transmission or both. We shall also deal with all aspects surrounding the composition, nature and transmission of each of the four epigrams, besides providing a translation of all other epigrams - including the newly discovered elegiac fragments - that may bear any relevancy to the subject under appreciation.

Resumen

This thesis examines how routine social media use shapes political participation in Britain. Since the turn of the century, many commentators have argued that political activism has been compromised by “slacktivism,” a pejorative term that refers to supposedly inauthentic, low-threshold forms of political engagement online, such as signing an e-petition or “liking” a Facebook page. In contrast, this thesis establishes a new theoretical approach—the continuum of participation model—which illuminates what happens before political action occurs. This is explored in three interrelated contexts, using three different research methods: an ethnography of the political movement, 38 Degrees; an analysis of a corpus of individually-completed self-reflective media engagement diaries; and a series of laboratory experiments that were designed to replicate environments in which slacktivism is said to occur. I argue that Facebook and Twitter create new opportunities for cognitive engagement, discursive participation, and political mobilisation. 38 Degrees uses social media to support engagement repertoires that blend online and offline tactics. This organisational management of digital micro-activism provides participatory shortcuts, enabling large numbers of grassroots members to shape campaign strategy. But, in contrast to both advocates and critics of online participation, I find no evidence of a widespread, one-size-fits-all, self-expressive logic. Instead, I argue that we ought to think in terms of a typology of citizen roles in social media environments. Civic instigators and contributors engage in digital micro-activism by way of refining their political identity. Listeners use social media to consume political information but refrain from public forms of expression and instead take to private spaces for political discussion. When listeners do act it is not effortless, but carefully considered. Experiments show that these roles derive from pre-established personal preferences, rather than the stylistic presentation of information or visible indicators of the popularity of an information source. Overall, this study argues that slacktivism is inadequate and flawed as means of capturing the essence of contemporary political action. Social networking sites offer an important space for democratic engagement in the milieu of everyday life.
