Pastarąjį dešimtmetį daugiabučių namų atnaujinimo (modernizavimo) efektyvumas tampa vis aktualesne problema. Apie efektyvumą dažnai kalbama neobjektyviai, atsižvelgiant tik į sumažėjusias šildymo sąskaitas. Taigi visuomenės požiūriu natūraliai kyla klausimas, ar visi atnaujinimo projektai yra ekonomiškai efektyvūs. Šio darbo tikslas – išsamiai susipažinti su daugiabučių namų atnaujinimo procesu Lietuvoje ir, išnagrinėjus jau įgyvendintų atnaujinimo projektų stebėsenos analizių duomenis, nustatyti efektyviausias atnaujinimo priemones ir priemonių derinius. Baigiamąjį darbą sudaro įvadas, trys skyriai ir išvados bei pasiūlymai. Pirmame, literatūros analizės, skyriuje aptariamas Lietuvos ir užsienio šalių daugiabučių namų atnaujinimo aktualumas, atnaujinimo ir jo efektyvumo vertinimo galimybės bei metodai. Antrame skyriuje apžvelgiama būsto atnaujinimo situacija Lietuvoje, šiuo metu vykstantis atnaujinimo procesas ir jo plėtros kryptys. Trečiame skyriuje atliekami empiriniai būsto atnaujinimo efektyvumo tyrimai.

Naturally the question for the society arises whether all renewal projects are cost – effective. The aim of this work is to discuss economic evaluation indicators, to determine the most effective methods of renewal and method combinations. This work consists of an introduction, three chapters and the conclusions with recommendations. The first section – literature analysis, which analyzes the Lithuanian and foreign counties renovation process and its relevance. The second chapter provides an overview of the renovation situation in Lithuania and its future development. In the third chapter the empirical housing renovation efficiency research is conducted. In first part of research using multicriteria SAW, and TOPSIS COPRAS methods, the most rational way of renewal is determined. In the second part using housing renovation monitoring results of 2009 and 2010 period, the analytical housing renewal study is performed to identify the most effective way of renewal. Analysis of 10 projects data helps to determine the most effective methods of renewal and method combinations. The work is based on the Lithuanian and foreign scientific publications, the experience of EU countries renewal process, housing and urban development agency (now – home energy conservation agency) developed monitoring reports.

A institui??o foi o terceiro grupo escolar instalado em Diamantina, Minas Gerais, na d?cada de 1950, per?odo hist?rico considerado de grande import?ncia para o munic?pio, uma vez que estava ? frente do governo do Estado, e posteriormente da presid?ncia da Rep?blica, o diamantinense Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira. Inicialmente, fez-se necess?ria uma pesquisa bibliogr?fica que contribu?sse para a discuss?o do surgimento dos grupos escolares no contexto brasileiro e no Estado de Minas Gerais com o intento de analisar o ide?rio renovador da primeira metade do s?culo XX. A investiga??o documental foi realizada em arquivos p?blicos e privados, onde foram selecionados jornais locais, livros contendo atas de reuni?es, termos de posse, termos de visitas, imagens e outros documentos que serviram para fundamentar este estudo. Ao discutir a arquitetura do pr?dio do Grupo Escolar Professora J?lia Kubitschek, pretende-se ler e interpretar a hist?ria da educa??o local e entender como os governos estadual e municipal procuraram aquilatar a import?ncia de se construir um novo pr?dio escolar com tra?os arquitet?nicos modernos, em um centro hist?rico tombado pelo patrim?nio na d?cada de 1930. Ao analisar o funcionamento da referida institui??o atrav?s das atas produzidas no seu interior e compar?-las ?s resolu??es, portarias, instru??es e avisos da Secretaria de Estado de Educa??o de Minas Gerais, procura-se entender a pr?tica dos docentes e os ideais dos dirigentes pol?ticos da ?poca. Do ponto de vista te?rico, s?o propostas reflex?es sobre a arquitetura escolar, os grupos escolares e a escola p?blica ao longo do s?culo XX, respectivamente. Desenvolvida na linha de pesquisa Educa??o, Cultura e Sociedade do Mestrado Profissional Interdisciplinar em Ci?ncias Humanas, esta disserta??o se justifica pelo ineditismo do trabalho, por contribuir para os estudos de cunho regional da hist?ria das institui??es escolares e despertar o interesse da comunidade local em preservar e resgatar a sua hist?ria. / Disserta??o (Mestrado Profissional) ?

The institution was the third School Group installed in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, in the 1950s. This historical period have a high importance for the city since it was ahead of the state government and later of the Republic Presidency, the born in Diamantina Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira. First it was necessary a bibliographic research about the emergence of School Groups in the Brazilian context and on the state of Minas Gerais in order to analyze the renovator ideas of the first half of the twentieth century. Documental research was performed on public and private archives, where local newspapers, books containing minutes of meetings, nomination terms, terms of visits and other documents were selected to support this study. When discussing the architecture of the School Group building Teacher "Julia Kubitschek" we intend to read and interpret the local education history and to understand how the state and local governments sought to appraise the importance of building a new modern architectural features school building in a historic center listed by heritage in the late 1930. When analyzing the functioning of the mentioned institution through the minutes produced by them and comparing them with the resolutions, ordinances, instructions and warnings from the State Department of Education of Minas Gerais, looking for understand how the teaching work put into practice the ideals of the political leaders of the time. From a theoretical point of view, reflections on school architecture, school groups and the public school are proposed throughout the 20th century. Developed on the research field of Education, Culture and Society of the Professional Master in Interdisciplinary Humanities, this dissertation is justified by being an un precedented work and by the contribution to regional studies of the history of school institutions and arouse the interest of the local community to preserve and rescue its history.

An alternative to this problem is the Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM), proposed by the OMG (Object Management Group). ADM is a set of principles that support the modernization of systems using models. The Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) is the main ADM metamodel and it is able to represent various characteristics of a system, such as source code, configuration files and GUI. Through a reverse engineering process supported by tools is possible to extract knowledge from legacy source code and store it in KDM metamodel instances. Another metamodel that is important to this project is the Structured Metrics Metamodel (SMM) that allows the specification of metrics and also the representation of the measurements results performed on KDM models. When we decide to modernize a legacy system, an alternative that aims to improve concerns modularization of a system is the Aspect-Oriented Programming. Considering this alternative, the main goal of this project is to present an approach to defining and computing concern metrics in instances of KDM metamodel. This kind of measurement needs a prior concern mining that make notes on system components indicating concerns which it implements. To achieve the project objective, a complete approach to measure concerns using ADM models was developed, this approached is composed by an extension of KDM metamodel for representing Aspect- Oriented Software (AO-KDM), a concern metrics library in SMM format (CCML) developed in order to be parameterized by the Modernization Engineer. Therefore, the metrics defined in this project can be reused in other projects. Furthermore, we have developed a tool (CMEE) capable of handling parameterization annotations (notes about concerns made by the mining tools) that allows that models annotated by different mining tools could be measured by SMM metrics. / Manter sistemas legados é uma atividade complexa e cara para muitas empresas.

A ADM consiste em um conjunto de princípios que apoiam a modernização de sistemas utilizando modelos. O Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) é o principal metamodelo da ADM e é capaz de representar diversas características de um sistema, como código-fonte, arquivos de configuração e de interface gráfica. Por meio de um processo de engenharia reversa apoiado por ferramentas é possível extrair conhecimento do código-fonte legado e armazená-lo em instâncias do metamodelo KDM. Outro metamodelo da ADM pertinente a este projeto é o Structured Metrics Metamodel (SMM) que torna possível a especificação de métricas e também a representação dos resultados de medições realizadas em modelos KDM. Quando decide-se modernizar um sistema legado, uma alternativa que procura melhorar o nível de modularização dos interesses de um sistema é a orientação a aspetos. Considerando essa alternativa, o objetivo deste projeto é apresentar uma abordagem para definição e aplicação de métricas de interesse em instâncias do metamodelo KDM. Esse tipo de medição precisa de uma mineração de interesses prévia, que realiza anotações nos componentes do sistema indicando qual interesse ele implementa. Para alcançar o objetivo do projeto, foi desenvolvida uma abordagem completa de medição de interesses utilizando modelos da ADM, composta por uma extensão do KDM para a representação de software orientado a aspectos (AO-KDM), uma biblioteca de métricas de interesses no formato SMM (CCML) desenvolvida com o intuito de ser parametrizável pelo Engenheiro de Modernização. Portanto, as métricas definidas neste projeto podem ser reusadas em outros projetos. Além disso, foi desenvolvida uma ferramenta de apoio computacional (CMEE) capaz de lidar com parametrização de anotações (anotações de interesses realizadas por ferramentas de mineração) que permite que modelos anotados com diferentes ferramentas de mineração possam ser medidos por métricas SMM.

A recently proposal to solve this problem is Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM), proposed by Object Management Group (OMG). The ADM consists of a set of concepts and standard metamodels that support systems modernization using models. The Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) is the main metamodel of ADM, it can represent many artifacts of a legacy system, such as source code, architecture, user interface, configuration files and business process. In general, legacy systems have crosscutting concerns, it can show source code problems like tangling and scattering, and it raises the maintenance costs. The aspect orientation is an alternative to improve crosscutting concerns modularization. Thus, in this dissertation is presented the term Aspect Oriented Modernization that uses the aspect oriented concepts in the ADM context. This modernization process consists in modularize legacy systems with aspects represented in model level. To achieve this goal, in this work were performed a lightweight and a heavyweight extension in the KDM metamodel, to analyze which one would present a better performance if used by Modernization Engineers. The evaluation of these extensions was performed by a case study that considered the modernization with aspects of a small-sized system. To evaluate the case study in both extensions, a set of comparison criteria were created to support the software engineers in choosing the best extension mechanism, according to their needs. In the context of this dissertation an experimental study were developed that aimed reproducing the scenarios that the modernization engineers had to perform maintenances and developing new refactorings in a aspect oriented KDM model. The experiment data considered the development time of the activities and the found number of errors. Finally, it was noticed that the extension mechanism to be choose will depend on the context that it will be applied, however, considering the approach studied here the best extension mechanism is the heavyweight one. / Manter sistemas legados é uma atividade complexa e onerosa para muitas empresas. Uma proposta recente para esse problema é a Modernização Dirigida à Arquitetura (Architecture-Driven Modernization - ADM), proposta pela OMG (Object Management Group). A ADM consiste em um conjunto de princípios e metamodelos padrões que apoiam a modernização de sistemas utilizando modelos. O Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) é o principal metamodelo da ADM, podendo representar diversos artefatos de um sistema, como código-fonte, arquitetura, interface de usuário, arquivos de configuração e processos de negócio. Em geral, sistemas legados possuem interesses transversais, apresentando problemas de entrelaçamento e espalhamento de código, o que eleva os custos de manutenção. A orientação a aspectos é uma alternativa para melhorar a modularização de interesses transversais. Mediante isso, neste trabalho é apresentado o termo Modernização Orientada a Aspectos que utiliza os conceitos da orientação a aspectos na ADM. Essa modernização consiste em remodularizar sistemas legados utilizando aspectos representados em nível de modelo. Para atingir esse objetivo, foi realizada uma extensão leve e outra pesada do metamodelo KDM, para analisar em qual das duas o desempenho dos engenheiros de modernização seria melhor. Para fazer a avaliação das extensões, foi realizado um estudo de caso levando em consideração a modernização com aspectos em um sistema de pequeno porte. Com o objetivo de avaliar o estudo de caso usando as duas extensões, foram desenvolvidos critérios de comparação que auxiliassem os engenheiros de software a escolher qual dos dois mecanismos de extensão utilizar em seu projeto. Foi feito também um estudo experimental que buscou reproduzir os cenários em que engenheiros de modernização tivessem que realizar manutenções e desenvolver novas refatorações em um modelo KDM orientado a aspectos. Os dados do experimento foram avaliados em relação ao tempo de desenvolvimento das atividades e quantidade de erros encontrados. Por fim, percebeu-se que o mecanismo de extensão a ser utilizado vai depender do contexto em que ele será aplicado, mas, para o domínio aqui estudado a extensão que melhor atendeu aos requisitos foi a pesada.

This paper deals with the process of “democratization” of higher education at the conservative modernization experience by Brazil in the current context. It aims to discuss the details given by the socio-economic situation and policy at the times of implementation of affirmative policies in Brazil, presenting them as access facilitation mechanisms that do not absorb the demand built historically. To this end, through perception analysis environment through the content contained in the 2004 Multi-Year Plan to 2007 and from 2008 to 2011 becomes important precisely because they present themselves as strategic mechanisms of the state to promove the development of the nation that moves thought the very process of democratization of access, be it done thought the HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) public or private. The idea, therefore, is to discuss the access according to the situation evidenced by the conservative modernization. Using the content analysis method comes to the conclusion , from the data collected from the Multi-annual plans and their evaluation reports, that the process of Access and expansion of higher education at the conservative modernization did not include democratic and unrestricted manner making , therefore , through the partnership arrangements between the public and private sectors. In this, insertion policies through the public sphere are ultimately limiting access while the type of cut constructed to have the right to student finance through private higher education institutions not build prejudiced aspect that the quots themselves can represent. / O presente trabalho versa sobre o processo de “democratização” do ensino superior ante a modernização conservadora vivenciada pelo Brasil no contexto atual. Ele tem como objetivo principal discutir os pormenores apresentados pela conjuntura socioeconômica e política à época da implantação das políticas afirmativas no Brasil, apresentando-as como mecanismos de facilitação do acesso que não absorvem a demanda construída historicamente. Para tanto, a percepção através da análise da conjuntura através do conteúdo contido nos Planos Plurianuais de 2004 a 2007 e de 2008 a 2011 torna-se importante justamente porque eles se apresentam como mecanismos estratégicos de Estado para promover o desenvolvimento da nação que perpassa pelo próprio processo de democratização do acesso, seja ele feito através das IES (Instituições de Ensino Superior) públicas ou privadas. A ideia, portanto, é discutir o acesso de acordo com a conjuntura evidenciada pela modernização conservadora. Utilizando-se do método de análise de conteúdo chega à conclusão, a partir dos dados coletados dos Planos Plurianuais e seus relatórios de avaliação, de que o processo de acesso e expansão do ensino superior ante a modernização conservadora não fez incluir de forma democrática e irrestrita, fazendo-se, portanto, através do regime de parceria entre os setores público e privado. Nisso, as políticas de inserção através da esfera pública terminam sendo limitadoras do acesso enquanto que o tipo de recorte construído para ter o direito ao financiamento estudantil através das instituições de ensino superior privadas não constrói o aspecto preconceituoso que as cotas em si podem representar.

Объектом данного исследования является сталинская культура. Целью работы было выявление специфики влияния макросоциального процесса модернизации на становление сталинской культуры Основная гипотеза заключается в том, что, по нашему мнению, советская культура 30-50-х и все, что с ней связано, является результатом сталинской модернизации и не могла существовать вне этого макросоциального процесса. Благодаря тому, что этот процесс был неполноценным относительно европейской модернизации (и ее продуктов), весомую роль в ней играло искусство (соцреализм), которое одновременно являлось таким же средством модернизации, как и индустриализация. Искусство оказалось средством формирования системы представления о мире, являлось способом трансляции ценностей, что говорит о нем как способе воспроизводства сталинской культуры. В ходе работы удалось выяснить, что сталинская модернизация как макросоциальный процесс обладает признаками западной модернизации, но ее инструментарий наследует много из того, что было в отечественной истории. Советская модернизация обладала своим собственным преобразовательным пафосом в отношении переустройства человеческой жизни. Проект модернизации был направлен на достижение определенной социальной утопии, где большую роль играл бы труд как воспитательный механизм. Само существование человека в этой системе несло онтологический характер, труд – воспитательный. Соответственно реальность, в т.ч. трудовая, подменялась синтетическим образом желаемой действительности, которая примирялась с окружающим миром за счет дерализации. Искусство в такой ситуации становится реальным рычагом модернизации и способом построения определенной картины мира, который дополняет прочие рычаги: политический и экономический. / The object of this study is the Stalinist culture. The aim of the work was to determine the specificity of the effect of macro-modernization process on the development of Stalinist culture The main hypothesis is that, in our opinion, the Soviet culture 30-50th and everything connected with it, is the result of Stalin's modernization and could not exist outside of this macro-process. Due to the fact that the process was defective with respect to the modernization of the European (and its products), a significant role in it played an art (the Socialist Realism) that is both the same means of modernization, as well as industrialization. Art was a means of forming a system of beliefs about the world, it is a method of translation of values, which speaks of it as a method of reproduction of the Stalinist culture. During the work we found out that Stalin's modernization as the macro-process has signs of Western modernization, but it inherits many of the tools that have been in the country's history. Soviet modernization has its own transformative fervor against reorganization of human life. The modernization project was aimed at achieving a particular social utopia, where he played a major role to work as an educational mechanism. The very existence of man in this system carried ontological character, work - educational. Accordingly reality, including labor, supplanted by synthetic way the desired effect, which is at peace with the world around them by deralization. The art in this situation becoming a real lever of modernization and a certain way to build a picture of the world that complements the other levers: political and economic.

Master of Arts / Department of History / Donald J. Mrozek / In the 1960s, modernization theory became an important analytical tool to conceptualize change in the Third World. As opposed to rebuilding societies that had already attained industrialization as was done with the Marshall Plan, modernization theorists focused on creating a total theory that encapsulated the entire arc of development from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society. Aware that a colonial relationship subordinating nations on the periphery to the West was impossible, modernization theorists sought to create an amicable bond based on consent. Modernization theory served as the underlying logic of the Alliance for Progress, Peace Corps, and the Strategic Hamlet Program in Vietnam. This thesis argues that although modernization theory certainly had novel aspects, notably its social and psychological elements, much of the theory simply consisted of the coalesced logic, assumptions, and methods acquired from three previous American experiences with development, particularly the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Point Four Program, and occupation of Japan after World War II. I argue that thought concerning development from the 1930s through the 1960s should be seen as a continuum rather than view modernization theory in the 1950s and 1960s as completely novel. Modernization theorists both intentionally and unknowingly incorporated into modernization theory the logic, assumptions, and methods developed in previous development schemes. Chapter Two examines how the democratic decentralized structure of the TVA became embedded in post-World War II thought about development as an alternative to communist models of development. The chapter also explores TVA director David Lilienthal’s and modernization theorists’ emphasis on technology as both harbingers of modernization and evidence of modernity. Chapter Three investigates how Chester Bowles, the director of the Point Four Program in India, and modernization theorists used Keynesian economics in their development model, arguing that modernization could be induced by government spending in agriculture, education, infrastructure, and health and sanitation. Chapter Three also explores how Bowles and modernization theorists used an evolutionary theory of development derived from America’s past to guide their development in the Third World. Chapter Four examines the similarity between what officials of the Japanese occupation and modernization theorists considered traditional and modern. The chapter also explains that both groups believed in the universal applicability of the principles of American society.

Sammanfattning Med inspiration från Maarten A. Hajer (1995) kommer detta arbete att analysera och försöka klarlägga hur miljö och rättvisefrågor kommer till uttryck i den utvecklingspolitik som sker ur ett samtida perspektiv på EU-nivå. I detta fall med ett fokus på EUROPA 2020, ”En strategi för smart och hållbar tillväxt för alla”. Vilket analyseras via en kritisk diskursanalys efter Faircloughs tredimensionella modell efter frågeställningen: Vilken eller vilka diskurser framträder i ”Europa 2020” med avseende på ekonomisk utveckling i relation till miljö och rättvisa, och; vilka sanningar/hegemonier framträder med avseende på miljö och utveckling i denna kommunikativa händelse? Analysen bidrog till klarläggandet av ett flertal framträdande diskurser, sanningar/hegemonier vilka beskrivs konstituerade och likväl reproducerande av en större ideologisk social praktik. Tillväxtsdiskursen ses som den regerande diskursen för vilket alla lägre stående diskurser rättar sig efter. Dess förverkligande ses som en förutsättning till hållbar utveckling och social samanhållning. Detta vilket förverkligas genom ekologisk modernisering som verktyg att koppla isär miljöförstörelse och skapa nya marknader och konkurrensfördelar och därmed välfärd uttryckt i tillväxt. I relation till uppsatsens syfte att se huruvida den hållbarhetsdiskurs EU för används som en maktdiskurs framgår det i relation till tidigare forskning och kritiken till ekologisk modernisering att vissa rättviseperspektiv och intressen exkluderas i denna diskursiva praktik. / Abstract Inspired by Maarten A. Hajer (1995), this work will analyze and attempt to clarify how environmental and equity issues are reflected in the development policies that takes place from a contemporary perspective at EU level. In this case, with a focus on the Europe 2020, “A European strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth” Which are analyzed through a critical discourse analysis after Fairclough’s three dimensional model in relation to the research question: Which discourse/discourses appears in the “Europe 2020” in terms of economic development in relation to the environment and justice, and; What truths/hegemonies emerges in relation to the environment and development in this communicative event? The analysis contributed to the clarification of a number of prominent discourses, truths/hegemonies described constituted and likewise reproduce the larger ideological social practice. Growth discourse is seen as the reigning discourse for which all inferiors discourses comply. Its realization is seen as a prerequisite for sustainable development and social shared stance. This thus realized through ecological modernization as a tool to decouple environmental degradation and create new markets and competitive advantages and thus prosperity in terms of growth. In relation to the essays purpose to see whether the EU sustainability discourse is used as a power discourse, it is clear in relation to previous research and critique of ecological modernization that some equity perspectives and interests are being excluded in this discursive practice.
