Diante das várias formas de alocação dos custos aos produtos/serviços por meio de sistemas de custeio, é relevante analisar as características específicas de cada método, de acordo com a finalidade que pretende atender e os resultados que proporcionam. Com a utilização de um sistema de custeio adequado, é possível levantar as falhas do processo e propor melhorias ao sistema, possibilitando mais transparência e coerência na avaliação do custo do produto/serviço. Neste contexto, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o sistema de custeio utilizado em uma indústria da área de mineração de manganês, com vista a identificar se tal sistema atende as necessidades da empresa. Foi realizado um estudo de caso com dados do custeio de janeiro a julho de 2016. Como resultado do estudo de caso observouse que o método centro de custos utilizado pela empresa possibilita um adequado registro dos custos gerando relatórios que fornecem informações detalhadas sobre o custo de cada departamento, possibilitando conhecer os custos totais de cada produto.Foram identificadas as seguintes falhas: cálculo arbitrário do tempo das atividades dos departamentos administrativo e contabilidade; falhas em relação ao levantamento do custo das etapas em que vários produtos passam por uma mesma linha de produção, já em relação as falhas dos processos identifica-se falhas na gestão de recursos humanos, no que diz respeito as horas ociosas no período chuvoso e a falta de projetos de reciclagem ou reaproveitamento, dos rejeitos da lavra.Como sugestões propõe-se as seguintes proposições de melhoria: contratar um especialista na área de custos, implantar programas de conscientização sobre a relevância do controle minucioso das informações sobre custos, realizar o estudo da cadeia de valor interna e externa e desenvolver capacitações programadas para os períodos ociosos e desenvolver projetos ambientais voltados ao descarte e ao reaproveitamento dos rejeitos de estéril. / The competitiveness environment which the companies were put in makes seek look at correct forms to analyze your production process and costs consequence occur. Faced with the various forms of arrange of costs the products/service to means of system of defrayal, is importance analyze the specific characteristics of arrange of costs, looking for of information requisite of each method, the purpose to meet the results it provides. With the use of a defrayal system of correct form, is it possible identify the, successes and failures the process, with the finality of propose improvement of system more transparency and coherency to check the product/ service cost. In this context, this work have with objective analyze if defrayal utilized in manganese mining area, meets the company's needs. A case study using cost data from January to July of 2016 was conducted. It was observed that the cost center method used by the company allows an adequate recording of the costs generating reports that provide detailed information on the cost of each department. It also allows to know the total costs of each product. The following failures were identified: arbitrary calculation of the time of the activities of the administrative departments and accounting, and failures in relation to the costing of the stages in which several products pass through the same production line. In relation to processes the failures identified were in human resources management regards to the idle hours in the rainy season. The following suggestions for improvement are proposed: hire a specialist in the area of costs, implement awareness programs on the relevance of the detailed control of cost information, to conduct the study of the internal and external value chain and to develop programmed capacities for the idle periods and to develop environmental projects aimed at the disposal and reuse of the wastes of barren.

The thesis focuses on the research of the change process of organization structure. It contains the analysis of an opinion of interns about the process of change. The applied methods analyze the preparation of change process, its continuance the way of a top management communication with employees and the result of the restructure. Afterwards the way of the top management communication to insiders is evaluated. At the end there are proposed recommendations, which could help the company to achieve a better implementation of the process of change and also to obtain a higher percentage of satisfied insiders with that change.

This work deals with ANSYS application for research of temperature behaviour in electronics systems

Reading a literary text can be rewarding in many ways, for example the text can open up the reader's imaginations, awaken thoughts or create emotions. What is also interesting about literary works is that they can be interpreted and analyzed in different ways.In this study, you will find out the results of a group of boys who attend their third year in Swedish gymnasium and their choice of analysis methods. Students have read and analyzed the famous horror novel Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley. This research compare students' analysis, to investigate whether it is possible to discern any specific and whether it is possible to see similarities in their results. The results of the students' analyzes show that a large majority of the students choose to analyze the characters based on different aspects. The students show understanding of the monster and its actions, several of the students also defend the monster's actions and explain why the monster acted as it did. / <p>Slutgiltigt godkännandedatum: 2022-01-11</p>

Global climate change is identified as a major threat to the survival of natural ecosystems. The variations in global climate have gained the attention of researchers worldwide, as these changes negatively affect agriculture by reducing crop productivity and food security.  Projects related to abiotic stress tolerance are significant because they address important challenges facing agriculture and food security, contribute to more sustainable agricultural practices, and advance our understanding of fundamental plant biology. Some plants have defense mechanisms that are activated upon receiving stress stimuli to increase systemic tolerance to abiotic stresses such as heat, light, and cold. Salicylic acid-binding protein 2 (SABP2) from tobacco exhibits a high affinity for salicylic acid (SA) and is an important component in the SA-signaling pathway. SABP2 interacts with other cellular proteins to initiate downstream signaling and activate responses leading to resistance. Several SABP2-interacting proteins (SIP), including SIP-428, have been identified. The main goal of this proposed research is to determine the role of SIP-428 in mediating environmental stresses. SIP-428 is a SIR2-type non-histone deacetylase enzyme. De/acetylation is a common post-translational modification of proteins in eukaryotes. Since SIP-428 is a SABP2-interacting protein, it is involved in plant immune signaling. To determine the role of SIP-428 in plant physiology, it was biochemically characterized, and transgenic tobacco plants silenced in SIP-428 expression were previously generated and analyzed. Transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing SIP-428 were also generated. These lines expressed SIP428 at higher levels upon treatment with estradiol. Transgenic tobacco that overexpresses SIP-428 has been used in this study. To test the role of SIP428 in abiotic stress, the transgenic plants will be treated with abiotic stress-inducing chemicals, e.g. NaCl (salinity stress), mannitol (osmotic stress), and PEG6000 (drought stress). The treated seedlings will be allowed to grow for a specific time (1-2 weeks). The expression of SIP-428 will be monitored by western blotting (using anti-myc antibodies). The effects of SIP-428 expression on abiotic stress tolerance will be investigated biochemically by examining the activities of antioxidant enzymes, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Additionally, gene expression analysis will also be conducted to determine the expression of antioxidant genes.

I denna undersökning ämnar vi ta reda på hur progressionen ser ut gällande framställningen av kvinnor i historieläromedel från 1960-talet till år 2007. Vi har fokuserat kring dem som oftast marginaliserats i innehållet till fördel för de politiska aktiva så som drottningar och andra politiker. Här är det istället bondhustrur, den hemarbetande kvinnan, sömmerskor, hantverkare och andra yrkesarbetande kvinnor som undersöks för att ta reda på om de har en större plats i dag jämfört med på 1960-talet. Vi vill också ta reda på vilket sätt de framställs och har framställts. Är de aktiva och driver handlingen framåt eller ett bihang till den politiska historien? Vi har sett i vår analys att en positiv förändring skett, men att det finns mycket kvar att göra. / In this study, we intend to find out what the progression looks like when it comes to representations of women in childrens history text books from the 1960´s to year 2007. We have focused on the most frequently marginalized working women for the benefit of the political active women as queens and other politicians.Here it is, instead, peasant wives, the woman home workers, seamstresses, burghers, craftsmen and other working women in these groups who´s being studied and whether they have a larger place today compared to the 1960's. We also want to find out how they are constructed and produced. Are they active and operates forward or a appendage of the political history? We have seen in our analyze that the progression is good, but there’s still much work to do.

Uppsatsen tar sitt avstamp i de uppmärksammade skjutningarna i Malmö under året 2010. Syftet är att analysera hur media, i detta fall Sydsvenskan och Expressen, hanterade och skrev om de dåd och händelser som inträffade. Vikten ligger på vilka diskurser som används, hur makt hanteras och representationen av artiklarna som skrevs. Detta görs med hjälp av diskursanalyser av artiklarna samt en gestaltande del bestående av ett reportage om bilden av Malmö. Grundpelarna i uppsatsen är teorier om representation, retorik och brottsjournalistik.Analysen visar att Sydsvenskan och Expressens artiklar skiljer sig åt på framförallt tre områden: lokaliseringen, språket och kategoriseringen av tidningarna som dagstidning och kvällstidning. I alla tre kategorier har tidningarna använt maktförhållande, retoriska begrepp samt dagsordningsprincipen för att åstakomma deras mål utifrån deras förutsättningar. Poängen var att visa hur tidningarnas sätt att bygga upp sina artiklar skiljer sig åt och att de förekommer mycket bakom scenen som inte vid första anblicken är uppmärksammat. / This essay is about the shootings that took place in Malmö 2010. The crimes got a lot of attention in media all over the country. The focus of this essay will be on the articales that was written about the shootings in the newspapers Sydsvenskan and Expressen and the diffrences as well as the similaritys among the articels in the newspapers. The purpose is to analyze what discourses that is presented in the text, how the newspapers use rethorical terms and power through their knowledge. The formative work will be a report about the general image of Malmö and how the people who lives there reWlect and experecing their city.I will use discourse analyze as my method to Wind out results. Helping theorys for analyzing the material will be cultural representation, power and rethorics.The result shows that there are mainly three big diffrences in the articles from the different newpapers: the localization, the language and the different proWil of the newspapers. Both of the papers use power and rethorical methods in there way of presenting the news in their articales and the discourses behind the text is also visible in both papers. The main point of the essay is to bring attention to the the various approaches articales about the same subject can provide.

<p>The focus of this essay is set on a number of processes that affect the challenges of the tourist trade, to be more precise – an analysis of the attitudes towards tourism and sustainability within this line of business – from an ethical and moral as well as social view. These issues are examined with reference to the concept of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). Thus, acquaintance with theories of social constructivism, post colonialism, globalisation and global civil society is essential in order to understand the analysed material. The essay is mainly based on the outcome of qualitative interviews with various kinds of persons working with CSR related questions. Another material source has been the websites of a number of tour operators. The method used is the critical discourse analyse. The material presents a few specific themes:</p><p>”Confusion of ideas”, ”The experience of being examined in your branch of business”, ”For whom is this any good – who cares?”, ”To feel involved and participate” and ”Co-operation – the right track to follow”. By giving emphasis to the complexity of the work concerning CSR issues related to the travel industry the author of this essay tries to increase the understanding of the challenges that face the tourist trade.</p>

A dengue é considerada uma das mais importantes arboviroses reemergentes em termos de morbidade, letalidade e implicações econômicas e ocorre em todas as regiões tropicais e subtropicais do planeta. tem demonstrado tendência ascendente, devido as suas condições ambientais, climáticas e a ineficiência das políticas públicas. No município em estudo nos últimos dez anos a cidade sofreu várias epidemias de dengue com aumento dos casos graves, hospitalizações e óbitos. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a distribuição espacial e a evolução temporal da incidência da dengue e sua correlação com variáveis entomológicas e climáticas em um município brasileiro de tríplice fronteira, no período de agosto de 2006 a julho de 2016. O estudo foi desenvolvido na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu. Foram feitas as análises descritivas, espaciais, temporais e analíticas, seguidas de testes de regressão linear simples para avaliar a correlação entre as variáveis, utilizando o programa estatístico \"R\". Foram avaliados a correlação entre a variáveis incidência da dengue e fatores climáticos e entomológicos para os anos epidêmicos e não epidêmicos em relação ao mesmo mês, um, dois e três meses antes da ocorrência da incidência da doença. Os dados foram coletados de fontes secundárias dos Sistemas de Informações em Saúde, disponibilizados pela Secretaria Municipal de Saúde. A base territorial geográfica utilizada foi a unidade de estrato. Os resultados mostraram que os anos epidêmicos apresentou 60% do período estudado. A incidência da doença nos anos epidêmicos foi alta, ultrapassando a 1000 casos/100 mil/habitantes e acometeu todas as regiões da cidade. Os resultados dos testes de regressão, apresentaram correlação negativa da dengue com índice de infestação Predial, para os anos epidêmicos, e positiva para os anos não epidêmicos com intervalo de dois e três meses. houve correlação positiva da dengue para os anos de epidemia com o índice de infestação do mosquito adulto, com intervalo de três meses, com a umidade relativa do ar em período simultâneo, dias de chuvas, média da temperatura média e média da temperatura máxima, com intervalo de um e dois meses, pluviosidade com intervalos de um, dois e três meses. Sendo assim pode inferir que o índice e infestação predial é fraco em estimar o risco de transmissão da doença, embora seja preconizado pelo Ministério da Saúde para esse fim. O clima foi um dos principais fatores a responderem pela incidência da dengue. O intervalo de três meses, em relação ao início das epidemias, mostrou-se o período mais oportuno para realizar as ações de controle do vetor. Conclui-se que os resultados desta pesquisa podem contribuir proporcionado a precocidade da informação e viabilizando a tomada de decisão em tempo oportuno de forma a focalizar as áreas de maior risco e desta forma otimizar o serviço de campo e a prevenção das doenças causadas pelo Aedes aegypti / Dengue is considered one of the most important reemerging arboviruses in terms of morbidity, lethality and economic implications and occurs in all tropical and subtropical regions of the planet. has shown an upward trend due to its environmental, climatic conditions and the inefficiency of public policies. In the city under study in the last ten years the city suffered several epidemics of dengue with an increase in severe cases, hospitalizations and deaths. The objective of this research was to analyze the spatial distribution and temporal evolution of dengue incidence and its correlation with entomological and climatic variables in a Brazilian municipality of triple border, from August 2006 to July 2016. The study was developed in the city of Foz do Iguaçu. Descriptive, spatial and temporal analyzes were performed, followed by simple linear regression tests to evaluate the correlation between the variables, using the statistical program \"R\". The correlation between the variables dengue incidence and climatic and entomological factors for the epidemic and non-epidemic years in relation to the same month, one, two and three months before the occurrence of the disease was evaluated. Data were collected from secondary sources of the Health Information Systems, made available by the Municipal Health Department. The geographic territorial base used was the stratum unit. The results showed that the epidemic years presented 60% of the studied period. The incidence of the disease in the epidemic years was high, surpassing 1000 cases / 100 thousand / inhabitants and affected all regions of the city. The results of the regression tests showed a negative correlation of dengue with Predial infestation index for the epidemic years and positive for the non - epidemic years with two - and three - month intervals. there was a positive correlation between dengue in the epidemic years and the adult mosquito infestation index, with a three-month interval, with the relative humidity of the air in the same period, rainy days, average temperature and mean maximum temperature, with interval of one and two months, rainfall with intervals of one, two and three months. Therefore, it can be inferred that the index and land infestation is weak in estimating the risk of transmission of the disease, although it is recommended by the Ministry of Health for this purpose. The climate was one of the main factors responding to the incidence of dengue. The three-month interval, in relation to the beginning of the epidemics, proved to be the most opportune period to carry out the vector control actions. It is concluded that the results of this research can contribute to the precocity of information and enable decision making in a timely manner in order to focus on the areas of greatest risk and thus optimize the field service and prevention of diseases caused by Aedes aegypti
