O trabalho tem por objetivo verificar de que forma os avanços científicos e tecnológicos da humanidade influenciaram a obra de Edgar Allan Poe e de Machado de Assis. A análise propõe revelar o olhar desses escritores acerca das novas possibilidades que eram oferecidas à sociedade com o intuito maior de evidenciar o papel da literatura nesse processo, uma vez que o homem é capaz de enxergar todo o comportamento de uma época e, conseqüentemente, a si mesmo, através da obra literária. Essa atitude de “olhar para trás” e para “dentro de si mesmo”, acredita-se, permite que o homem avance ainda mais. Para realizar a análise proposta, a pesquisa utiliza-se de conceitos como o de intertextualidade e interdisciplinaridade, muito caros à Literatura Comparada, com o fim de promover relações entre as diferentes áreas do saber – Literatura e Ciência –, entre os diferentes escritores e, por fim, entre os diversos gêneros literários que constituem o corpus do presente estudo. Após um breve panorama da história do desenvolvimento dos avanços científicos e tecnológicos da humanidade, procede-se às análises dos textos selecionados, procurando apontar e relacionar o pensamento dos escritores, provando que idéias sobre os avanços científicos e tecnológicos estão presentes na produção literária de cada um. Por fim, após o confronto estabelecido durante todo o trabalho entre o pensamento e o posicionamento dos escritores, discutese o papel da literatura no desenvolvimento e avanço da humanidade. / The paper aims to verify how the writings of Edgar Allan Poe and Machado de Assis had been influenced by the humanity' scientific and technological advances. The analysis proposes to reveal the sight of these two writers over the new possibilities that had been offered to the society, with the main objective of emphasizing the literature role in this process, considering that the human being is able to see the behavior of an entire period of time and consequently to himself through the literary work. This action of “looking back” and of “looking inside”, believes this research, allows him advance still more. In order to do that, the research takes some concepts as intertextuality and interdisciplinarity, extremely valued to the Comparative Literature, with the main objective of promoting relations between the different areas of knowledge – Literature and Science –, between the two different writers and, in the end, among the various literary genres that take part of the corpus of this study. After a brief view of the humanity history of scientific and technological advances development, the analysis of the selected texts is performed, endeavoring to emphasize and make the relation between the ways of thinking of these writers, proving that specific ideas about science and its advances really are in the literary production of each other. In the end, after the confrontation established during all over the research between the thinking and the position of the writers, the literature role in the humanity’s development and advance is discussed.

There has been a steady growth in the traffic generated by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), and by 2020 it is expected to overload the existing licensed spectrum capacity and lead to the problem of scarce resources. One method to deal with this traffic overload is to access unlicensed and shared spectrum bands using an opportunistic approach. The use of Licensed Shared Access (LSA) is a novel approach for spectrum sharing between the incumbent user (i.e., the current owner of the shared spectrum) and the LSA licensee (i.e., the temporary user of frequencies, such as an MNO). The LSA system allows the incumbent users to temporarily provide the LSA licensee with access to its spectrum resources. However, licensees must adopt vertical handover and traffic steering procedures to vacate their customers from the LSA band without causing interference, whenever this is required by the incumbent. These procedures should be carried out, de facto, before the base station is turned off as a part of a rapid release of unscheduled LSA band facing evacuation scenarios. Thus, in this dissertation, a cognitive mechanism is proposed to make decisions in advance to find the best target network(s) for evacuated customers in connected mode and with active traffic per class of service. On the basis of these decisions, the vertical handover and traffic steering procedures are carried out for the best target network(s), which are selected in advance and undertaken immediately to avoid interference between the licensee and incumbent services. Furthermore, this guarantees the seamless connectivity and QoS of evacuated customers and their traffic respectively, during and after the unscheduled evacuation scenarios. A performance evaluation conducted in a simulating scenario consisting of one LTE-LSA and three Wi-Fi networks, demonstrated that the proposed solution could be completed within the time required for the unscheduled evacuation, as well as, being able to ensure the QoS and seamless connectivity of the evacuees. The total execution time obtained during the performance evaluation of the proposed solution was around 46% faster than of two related works and could thus avoid interference between the licensee and incumbent services.

The continuous formation in service became the biggest urgency of moment because the job market has become more demanding and competitive, requiring, for this reason, new competences and skills from experts. In camp of education, as a sort of job market, was not different. The school incorporated new functions and won new challenges. That s way, the initial and continuous formation of teachers became target for discussions in local, national and even international levels. In Brazil, the initial formation courses for teachers have gotten national curriculums and was created the National System for Continuous Formation of teachers for basic education. In Castanhal, Pará, where this research was developed, the continuous formations which has been done by municipal net of teaching for teachers of initial levels of Elementary school teachers shows only characteristics from the Demailly (1997) School model and classic s shaped by Candau (1998). Sometimes the content of this kind of formation goes toward the real teachers and schools necessities. In fact, the results of that formation of teachers professionalizing process touch only the aspect of professional formation. While the teaching high levels approval, disapproval, evasion and distortion showed that, if there was any contribution to the continuos teachers formation to improve those itens from teaching, this contribution was limited. / As mudanças no mundo do trabalho, o avanço das ciências, da tecnologia, dentre outros fatores, provocaram mudanças significativas, nas últimas décadas, na concepção de Estado, de educação e, conseqüentemente, influenciaram na formação inicial e continuada da maioria dos trabalhadores. A formação continuada em serviço passou a ser a grande exigência do momento, pois o mercado de trabalho está mais exigente e competitivo, solicitando, assim, novas competências e habilidades dos profissionais. No campo educacional, enquanto campo de trabalho, não foi diferente. A escola incorporou novas funções e ganhou novos desafios. Por isso, a formação inicial e continuada de professores tornou-se alvo de discussões em nível local, nacional e até internacional. No Brasil os cursos de formação inicial de professores ganharam Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais e foi Instituído o Sistema Nacional de Formação Continuada de Professores da Educação Básica. Em Castanhal, no Pará, lócus de desenvolvimento deste estudo, a formação continuada desenvolvida pela Rede Municipal de Ensino, voltada aos professores de 1ª a 4ª série do Ensino Fundamental, assume características do modelo escolar apresentado por Demaylly (1997) e clássico cunhado por Candau (1998). Somente às vezes o conteúdo dessa formação vai ao encontro das reais necessidades dos professores e da escola. A repercussão dessa formação no processo de profissionalização docente tem incidido basicamente no aspecto formação profissional. Em relação às escolas, essa formação tem contribuído para melhorar alguns aspectos da organização pedagógica das mesmas. Quanto ao ensino, os índices de aprovação, repetência, evasão e distorção idade/série mostraram que, se ouve contribuição da formação continuada de professores para a melhora desses referidos índices, tal contribuição foi limitada.

Vi, Anna Nilsson och Jeanette Svensson, valde att producera musikvideos under vårat kandidatarbete på Blekinge tekniska högskola. Detta eftersom vi båda har ett stort intresse till musik och rörlig bild. Vi valde att göra två stycken för att lära oss produktionens process grundligt och för att nu kunna jämför de båda och av detta ta lärdom. Den ena musikvideon gjorde vi till en skånsk duett som heter KC och den andra till Advance Patrol. Båda låtarna är inom genren hiphop. Vårt mål med projektet var att skapa två videos som inte följde den generella mallen för hiphop-videos. Med andra ord ville vi undvika häftiga bilar, smycken i massor och lättklädda tjejer. På denna punkt fick vi dock kompromissa lite med Advance Patrol. Vi valde att filma i miljöer med mycket färg, djup och kontraster och att efteråt lägga på effekter som förstärkte texternas budskap. We, Anna Nilsson and Jeanette Svensson, have produced music videos during the Bachelors thesis at Blekinge Institute of Technological. We chose to make music videos since we both have a big interest in music and motion picture. We chose to make two to get the most out of the working progress and to be able to compare them to each other and our own development. The first video we made was to a duett called KC and the second one was to Advance Patrol. Both songs are in the genre of hip hop. Our goal with the project was to create two videos that did not look like the general hiphop video with things such as cool cars, lots of jewelleries and girls with not much clothes. We had to compromise a little bit with Advance Patrol about this though. With interesting places that had nice colours, deep and contrasts we came to create great videos in our own way. We also added different kind of layers and effects to make the message in the lyrics clear to the viewer. We have achieved our goals much greater then we expected and have now many new experiences to take with us in our future projects. Vi har uppnått vårt mål och resultatet blev bättre än vi förväntat oss. Vi har fått många nya erfarenheter genom hela projektets tid som vi kommer att ha stor nytta av i framtida produktioner. / Detta är en reflektionsdel till en digital medieproduktion.

中國大陸移轉訂價法規起步較晚，但近年來中國積極防堵並加大查核力度，在大部分操作方式都被阻絕的情況下，台商僅剩「保留合理利潤」一途。如何在這個前提下達到利潤最大化並降低稅務風險，是本研究探討的問題。依本研究之結論，獲得以下之結論: 一、透過集團組織重組，建立集中化管理模式，依照各公司功能及風險考量，分配合理利潤。 二、在考量風險下，透過預先訂價協議及成本分攤協議以降低稅務風險。 三、建立符合各國法規之集團訂價策略，掌握各國稽核重點，制定集團統一的溝通及防禦策略，事先做好同期資料及相關文據以供備查。 / The development of regulations with respect to transfer pricing was started late in China, however, China took positive actions to avoid transfer pricing and enforced the rules more strictly in recent years. Therefore, the Taiwanese investors only have the way of “remaining the reasonable profit” in the event of that most of the operating models have been prohibited. How to obtain the maximun benefit and lower the tax risk in such situation are the objectives and questions of this study. According to this research, the conclusion is as below: 1. To allocate the reasonable profit by group restructuring and setting the centralized management mode in accordance with consideration in function and risk of each corporation. 2. To lower the tax risk through advance pricing agreements and cost sharing agreements in consideration of the risk. 3. To build the group pricing strategy which is accordance with the regulations of each filed, controlling the inspection focus of each countries, setting the group strategy for communication and defense, and preparing the same period information and other related documents for future reference.

This thesis deals with accounting and reporting of selected operations in Equity. The object of interest are three balance sheet items: Reserve fund, Advance for a profit share and Other profit and loss of previous years. The theoretical part is focused on general characteristic of Equity, its basic items and structure of related Financial statements. The indispensable component of this part is also more detailed specification of these three items. Attention is mainly focused to the payments and settlement of advances for a profit share, or accounting view corrections of mistakes from previous years and changes in accounting methods. The practical part is focused on an analysis of the annual reports of the capital companies in 2013-2015. The result is the evaluation of the frequency of occurrence, the use and justification of the analysed items in the annual reports of the companies.
