Esta pesquisa analisa os recentes processos de caráter geopolítico que vêm ocorrendo na Amazônia brasileira e confere especial ao papel desempenhado pelas Forças Armadas nas áreas fronteiriças desta região. A argumentação que desenvolvemos volta seu foco para a atuação dos Pelotões Especiais de Fronteira, no contexto sócioeconômico e político de Roraima, no período que vai desde sua implantação do Território Federal, acontecida nos anos de 1940, até os dias atuais. Para que possamos traçar a contento esse panorama, investigamos mais detidamente as políticas de governo estabelecidas após os anos 60, quando as unidades militares assumiram papel central na transformação deste território, definido como estratégico para os eventos que estavam ocorrendo no País e no subcontinente sul americano. Assim, tivemos que dar ênfase a alguns fatos e eventos importantes para podermos demonstrar o papel específico que as Forças Armadas, notadamente, o Exército e a Aeronáutica, desempenharam no cotidiano de Roraima, através de suas ações, de seu ethos, e da atuação da administração direta dos oficiais da Aeronáutica, durante o regime militar. Os resultados que obtivemos nos permitiram constatar que a organização do espaço social de Roraima continua a ser pensada e concebida a milhas de distância deste espaço. Prova disso é que as Forças Armadas ainda desempenham importante papel no Estado, apesar do seu distanciamento corporativo e do antagonismo em conciliar a hierarquia militar com a gestão participativa, base do discurso hegemônico, desde os anos 90. A investigação nos permitiu concluir que as Forças Armadas ainda desfrutam de status e desempenham um papel ainda muito importante na Amazônia. Pode-se a isso acrescentar que, no momento, elas protagonizam um novo e importante papel, que se consubstancia por meio dos Pelotões Especiais de Fronteira/PEF, bem como de outros mecanismos, recentes implantados em áreas importantes à soberania do País, agora também tornadas relevantes pelos seus aspectos ambientais, étnicos e culturais. / This research analyses recent processes of political feature that are happening in the Brazilian Amazon, with emphasis to the role of the Armed Forces in border areas of this region. Our argumentation focused on the performance of the Border Special Platoons, in the socio-economic and political context of Roraima, since the foundation of the Federal Territory, in the 1940s. We concentrated, however, on policies established after the 1960s, when military unities start to play central role in the transformation of this territory, defined as strategic for events that were happening in the country and in the South American subcontinent. We retrieved some facts and events in order to demonstrate the specific role that the Armed Forces, especially, the Army and the Air Force have played in Roraima everyday life, through their activities, their ethos, and the direct administration of officials belonging to the Air Force, during the military regime. We found out that the organization of the Roraima social space continues to be conceived from miles away of this space, so much so that the Armed Forces still play important role in the Roraima State, despite its corporative distance, and the antagonism in conciliating the military hierarchy, with the participative administration, since the 1990s. We concluded that the Armed Forces, with a widened role in the Amazon, represent a new moment through Border Special Platoons/BSP and others recent mechanisms, in important areas to the sovereignty of the country, now also relevant for their environmental, ethnic and cultural aspects.

A gestão da qualidade do ar é um desafio global, considerando que em muitos países, como no Brasil, a concentração da população em regiões metropolitanas é relevante, assim como sua exposição à poluentes atmosféricos. No estado de São Paulo, ao longo dos anos, as regulações que integraram a gestão da qualidade do ar têm incorporado novos instrumentos, exigências. Porém, identifica-se a ausência de procedimentos oficiais para auxiliar a concepção de políticas públicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi de analisar metodologias existentes nos Estados Unidos da América e União Europeia, que possam auxiliar o planejamento de políticas públicas de qualidade do ar, em especial, para material particulado na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP) e também de análises de viabilidade técnica e econômica de implantação de novas tecnologias, técnicas e práticas, do inglês Best Available Techniques (BAT)/ Best Environmental Practices (BEP). Por meio de pesquisa exploratória, utilizando-se de revisão bibliográfica e documental, este trabalho verificou a ausência sistemática de elementos como: análises de custo-efetividade de políticas públicas, consideração de modelagens integradas para concepção de políticas públicas, envolvimento de partes interessadas no planejamento de medidas. Quanto aos elementos para realizar análise de viabilidade técnica de implementação de BAT/BEP, foi possível identificar aspectos de avaliação de efeitos cruzados ambientais e econômicos, bancos de dados americanos e europeus contendo BAT/BEP e seus custos, que, com a devida adaptação, poderiam ser também uma referência. Trata-se de elementos importantes para subsidiar tomadas de decisão e buscar medidas, para que possam, de fato, levar à melhoria da qualidade do ar, para material particulado (MP10). / Air quality management is a global challenge, considering that in many countries, such as Brazil, the concentration of population in metropolitan regions is relevant and also their exposure to air pollutants. In the state of São Paulo, over the years, regulations that have integrated air quality management have incorporated new instruments, requirements. However, it is identified the absence of official procedures to assist the design of public policies. The objective of this work was to analyze existing methodologies in the United States and the European Union, which can assist in the planning of air quality public policies, especially for particulate matter in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (RMSP), as well as technical and economic feasibility analyzes for implementation of new technologies, techniques and practices from Best Available Techniques (BAT) / Best Environmental Practices (BEP). Through an exploratory research, using a bibliographical and documentary review, this work verified the systematic absence of elements such as: cost-effectiveness analysis of public policies, consideration of integrated modeling for public policy design, stakeholder involvement in planning of measures. As for the elements to perform technical feasibility analysis of BAT / BEP implementation, it was possible to identify aspects of environmental and economic cross-effects evaluation, American and European databases containing BAT / BEP and their costs, which, with due adaptation, could also be a reference. Those are important elements to support decision-making and seek measures, so that they can, in fact, lead to improved air quality for particulate matter (PM10).

Ce travail de recherche portant sur la compréhension des premières étapes de synthèse des zéolithes s'inscrit dans le cadre général de développements efficients de nouveaux catalyseurs performants. De nombreuses incertitudes demeurent quant aux mécanismes moléculaires de leur formation, en particulier lors de la nucléation en conditions de synthèse hydrothermale. Dans ce contexte, une méthodologie globale a été proposée afin d'évaluer l'impact des variables de synthèse sur la formation des espèces siliciques. La réalisation de ce travail a nécessité l'usage de différentes méthodes théoriques, combinant des calculs ab initio DFT et des simulations kMC. Un nouveau module kMC nommé Réacdiff a ainsi été développé et validé avec le modèle Lodka. L'extension des chemins réactionnels vers des espèces plus complexes a été effectuée et le recours à des modèles théoriques du type Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi (BEP) a été indispensable afin de les estimer rapidement. Un nouveau modèle des étapes réactionnelles d'oligomérisation a été proposé et a permis de tester l'effet crucial des agents organiques structurants (AS). Ces travaux ont permis de donner un nouveau regard sur la compréhension de la condensation des espèces siliciques durant les premières étapes de la synthèse des zéolithes. / This research work on the understanding of the early stages of zeolites synthesis fits withinthe general framework of the technological lock on the lower cost of new efficient catalysts synthesisoptimization. Many uncertainties remain with respect to the molecular mechanisms of their formation,in particular during nucleation in hydrothermal synthesis conditions. In this context, a comprehensivemethodology was proposed to assess the impact of synthesis variables in the formation of silicicspecies. This objective has required the use of different theoretical methods, combining ab initio DFTcalculations and kMC simulations. The creation of a new kMC module named Reacdiff has beendeveloped and validated with the Lodka model. The extension of reaction pathways to more complexspecies was carried out with the essential use of theoretical models like Brønsted-Evans-Polanyi(BEP) to quickly estimate. A new anionic model of the reaction steps of oligomerization has beenproposed and has allowed testing the crucial effect of organic templates. These thesis works gave anew understanding on the condensation of silicic species in early stages of zeolite synthesis.

Energy usage deriving from human activities is increasing day by day acting against the quality of the environment and the sustainable use of natural resources. The major impact of these actions is reflected on the quality of daily life. In order to face the challenge of preserving an acceptable balance between human needs and environmental status, the combination of proper design and energy simulation of buildings is the key towards smarter and more sustainable solutions. Solutions that covers a respectable percentage of the current domestic energy needs without further environmental foot printing. In the scope of this project, an existing single-family house in Southern Greece (Heraklion, Crete) is modeled using Revit ® Architecture software and then is simulated with IES® VE (plug-in) in order to give the level of energy intensity. The energy model used is fully harmonized with the new rules set by the "National Regulation for Energy Performance of Buildings - (K.En.A.K)" as it was put in force from October 2010 and onwards, and fully complies with the European Standards (EN ISO) published for the various tasks of building`s thermal performance. The structure and contents presented in this report are in full compliance with the technical directives [31, 32, 33] published by the Technical Chamber of Greece, in favour of the complex task of "Energy Certification of Buildings". The most significant capabilities of sophisticated software tools, like Revit® Architecture, IES® VE, Polysun® and PVsyst®, in favour of sustainable building design and simulation are shown throughout the whole report. Moreover, their valuable contribution is highly acknowledged by the engineers encountered with the task of studying the energy performance of existing or newly constructed buildings in Greece and issuing, the mandatory by law, "Energy Performance Certificates".

In this paper, we propose a novel similarity measure for document data processing and apply it to text classification and clustering. For two documents, the proposed measure takes three cases into account: (a) The feature considered appears in both documents, (b) the feature considered appears in only one document, and (c) the feature considered appears in none of the documents. For the first case, we give a lower bound and decrease the similarity according to the difference between the feature values of the two documents. For the second case, we give a fixed value disregarding the magnitude of the feature value. For the last case, we ignore its effectiveness. We apply it to the similarity based single-label classifier k-NN and multi-label classifier ML-KNN, and adopt these properties to measure the similarity between a document and a specific set for document clustering, i.e., k-means like algorithm, to compare the effectiveness with other measures. Experimental results show that our proposed method can work more effectively than others.

A multi-tiered system of supports offers a comprehensive model for the prevention of academic and behavior problems in schools. To date, research has emphasized the impact of universal and intensive interventions. However, the need for research on secondary or targeted group interventions (Tier 2) for those students who do not respond to the universal level of support is growing. This study evaluated CICO, a Tier 2 intervention, in improving student behavior when it is used with three elementary students from a high-need population and in conjunction with student accountability tracking, designed to promote parental involvement. Functional assessments indicated that all three students had attention-maintained problem behavior during instruction sessions. The study employed a concurrent multiple baseline design across students to assess the effects of CICO and CICO with accountability tracking on academic engagement and problem behavior. Results indicated that the team members were able to implement CICO with fidelity and their implementation of the intervention was effective in increasing academic engagement and reducing problem behavior. The CICO with accountability tracking implementation with one student contributed to further improvement of his target behaviors. These effects were shown to be maintained moderately well for two students who underwent fading. Results are discussed in terms of the study limitations and implications for practice and future research.

I detta arbete utvärderas och jämförs de i dagsläget aktuella teknikerna för automatisering av avloppspumpstationer. Utifrån undersökningen kommer en rekommendation av ett system göras som sedan ska kon-strueras och monteras ihop. Arbetet visar att trots energivinsterna som en extra investering i form av reglering ger så lönar det sig sällan om man inte byter pump samtidigt. Vid byte av pump kan man välja en pump som klarar det maximala flödet men samtidigt arbetar med högst effektivitet vid det vanligaste flödet. Då pumpar i avloppstationer ofta är överdimensionerade med avseende på det vanligaste flödet betyder en nedreglering att pumpen hamnar för långt bort från konstruktions-punkten. Pumpen får då sämre verkningsgrad och efter en viss punkt klara pumpen att inte av att överstiga det statiska motståndet och där-med inte skapa något flöde alls. Av dessa anledningar rekommenderas av/på-styrning vilket är den ledande tekniken idag / In this report the currently leading technologies for automation of sewage pump stations will be evaluated and compared. Based on this comparison a recommendation of a design will be done and the chosen control system will finally be assembled in a cabinet. The report shows that even thou there are energy savings to be done by using variable frequency drives it is rarely possible unless pumps are changed at the same time. When pumps are changed at the same time you have the opportunity to pick a pump that can handle the maximum inflow but at the same time have its best efficiency  point at lower speed. Pumps in sewage pump stations are often over dimensioned with regards to the most common inflow, lowering the speed will in this case result in lower efficiency and more losses. At one point the pump will not be able to overcome the static pressure in the system and will fail to produce any flow. Due to these reasons on/off control will be recommended which also is the most common method of today.
