O método complexo está baseado em três fundamentações teóricas: concepção, procedimento e instrumento. Desenvolvidos a partir das noções de racionalidade ambiental, teoria da complexidade e sistema de informação geográfica, respectivamente. Como procedimento prático foi feita uma aplicação do método proposto na realidade da gestão ambiental do Jardim Botânico de João Pessoa, em que foram analisadas as condições de sustentabilidade desse órgão público na perspectiva social, ambiental, econômica, histórica, política, cultural, administrativa, e proposto um modelo conceitual de Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG). A Mata do Buraquinho, onde está inserido o Jardim Botânico de João Pessoa, é uma das maiores reservas ambientais de Mata Atlântica urbana do Brasil, no entanto, foi observado que ainda não está sendo praticado o desenvolvimento sustentável nesse importante meio ambiente. Visto que a visão de gestão adotada é baseada na racionalidade econômica, o procedimento não é integrado nem participativo e inexiste instrumento de acompanhamento para a gestão ambiental do Jardim Botânico de João Pessoa. / The thesis develops a complex methodological proposal that seeks two purposes: to serve as a complex scientific paradigm for the study of the environment and as a practical procedure of participative environmental administration supported by a georeferenced information computacional system. The complex method is based on three theoretical bases: conception, procedure and instrument. These are developed starting from the notions of environmental rationality, theory of the complexity and geographical information system, respectively. As practical procedure it was made an application of the proposed method in the reality of the environmental administration of the Botanical Garden of João Pessoa, in which the conditions of sustainability of that public agency were analyzed in the social, environmental, economical, historical, politics, cultural, and administrative perspective, and proposed a conceptual model of Geographical Information System (GIS). The Buraquinho forest, where the Botanical Garden of João Pessoa is inserted, is one of the largest environmental reservations of urban Atlantic forest of Brazil, however, it was observed that still the maintainable development is not being practiced in that important environment. Because the vision of adopted administration is based on economical rationality, the procedure is not integrated and participative and attendance instrument inexists for the environmental administration of the Botanical Garden of João Pessoa.

Esta pesquisa analisa as relações entre Turismo, Sujeito e Trabalho, sob a perspectiva dos jardineiros, no espaço do Jardim Botânico de Porto Alegre. A investigação deu-se a partir da posição do trabalhador no campo de atividade turística, e dos jardins como locais de possibilidade para o lazer. O conceito de trabalho tomado para esse estudo é o da Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, de abordagem dejouriana. O suporte metodológico é oferecido pelos conceitos da Análise de Discurso Francesa pecheutiana. A construção analítica se viabiliza através da extração de sequências discursivas das entrevistas e das anotações em Diário de Campo. Os resultados da pesquisa identificaram e situaram a defasagem entre o trabalho prescrito e o trabalho real dos jardineiros. O conceito de Formação Discursiva permitiu observar alianças e confrontos nos rearranjos da Organização do Trabalho, articulados por esses trabalhadores. A relação entre o visitante, turista cidadão, e o trabalhador jardineiro mostrou-se significativa, pois está ancorada no reconhecimento da originalidade e utilidade do trabalho do jardineiro, condição para o prazer no trabalho e para a saúde mental do trabalhador. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-04-29T18:31:41Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Denise de Souza.pdf: 2727464 bytes, checksum: 24fed062940f1031fed5b8678bcdbaea (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-29T18:31:41Z (GMT).

Em meio à rápida propagação de tecnologias de mídia que tornam possível produzir, arquivar, se apropriar e recircular conteúdo informacional, uma cultura participativa vem emergindo nos dias atuais. Uma lógica de colaboração se faz presente, viabilizada por ferramentas técnicas que estruturam o conhecimento em rede. Nesse contexto, o museu, enquanto agência de representação sociocultural, se esforça no sentido de atualizar-se. Nesta dissertação, sugere-se que a interação participativa de caráter social é um caminho para renovar e ampliar as narrativas culturais elaboradas pelos museus, em sua relação comunicacional com o público. Foi elaborado, então, o sistema Revelar: um modelo preliminar que se propõe a investigar o design de participação em contexto museológico. O sistema, que tem como palco de ações o complexo do Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, pressupõe a participação de estudantes de Ensino Médio em uma atividade programada pela equipe do Museu do Meio Ambiente. A matéria de contribuição dos alunos participantes é a fotografia produzida a partir do uso de dispositivos móveis / A participatory culture is emerging amid the fast propagation of media technologies that make it possible to produce, archive, appropriate and recirculate informational content. A collaboration logic is observed, made feasible by technical tools that structure the networked knowledge. In this context, the museum performs an effort in order to update itself as an agency of sociocultural representation. In this thesis, we maintain that the social participatory interaction is a path to renew and expand the cultural narratives developed by museums, in respect to its communicational relationship with the audience. Therefore, a system called Reveal was devised: a preliminary model which aims at investigating participation design within a museological context. The system, which is located in Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, presupposes the participation of high school students in an activity elaborated by the Environment Museum team. Participants contribute with photographs captured with mobile devices.

Para as organizações públicas esse desafio é mais complexo, posto que possuem características peculiares e bem distintas. O Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, além de possuir as características inerentes a uma organização pública, vem sofrendo a redução de servidores, em função de aposentadorias e da falta de concurso público desde 2008. O impacto desse cenário na motivação dos servidores foi detectado por meio de uma pesquisa de Clima Organizacional, realizada em 2011. Neste sentido, o coaching vem se destacando como uma prática capaz de dar suporte às organizações na manutenção da motivação e do comprometimento. Desta forma, este trabalho tem como objetivo propor premissas para a construção de um programa de coaching no JBRJ. Para atingir o objetivo proposto foi empregada a pesquisa do tipo quali-quantitativa, de natureza aplicada, abordada por meio de estudo de caso. Os dados foram obtidos através de pesquisa documental, cujo objeto foi uma Pesquisa de Clima Organizacional realizada em 2011, e pesquisa de campo, realizada por meio de questionário e entrevistas individuais. Os dados foram tratados, respectivamente, por meio de estatística descritiva e de análise de conteúdo. Os principais resultados apontam para as seguintes necessidades: a) aprimoramento ou desenvolvimento, nas chefias, das habilidades de trabalhar com equipes, de delegação e de mobilização dos servidores; b) melhoria da colaboração dentro e entre equipes; c) fortalecimento do sentimento de pertencimento, da motivação e do comprometimento com os objetivos estratégicos; d) melhoria da comunicação institucional; e f) resgate da percepção positiva em relação às mudanças organizacionais. Com base nestas necessidades, as premissas propostas podem ser resumidas da seguinte forma: Implementação de um programa de coaching executivo e de coaching de equipe, com foco na estratégia organizacional e ênfase na melhoria da comunicação, a ser conduzido por um coach externo, com experiência comprovada em organizações públicas / A challenge of Personnel Management is to get the commitment of everyone within organizations. For public organizations that challenge is more complex, since they have unique and distinct characteristics. The Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, as well as having the inherent to a public organization features, has suffered a reduction of servers, due to retirements and lack of public competition since 2008. The impact of this scenario on the motivation of servers was detected by through an organizational climate survey conducted in 2011. in this sense, coaching has emerged as a practice capable of supporting organizations in maintaining motivation and commitment. Thus, this work aims to propose premises for building a coaching program in JBRJ. To achieve the proposed objective was employed to research the qualitative and quantitative type of applied nature, addressed through case study. Data were collected through desk research, whose object was an Organizational Climate Survey conducted in 2011, and field survey conducted through questionnaires and individual interviews. The data were analyzed respectively by using descriptive statistics and content analysis. The main results point to the following requirements: a) improvement or development under the leadership, the skills of working with teams, delegation and mobilization of servers; b) improve collaboration within and between teams; c) strengthening the sense of belonging, motivation and commitment to the strategic objectives; d) improving institutional communication; and f) redemption of positive perception of the organizational changes. Based on these needs, the premises proposals can be summarized as follows: Implementation of an executive coaching program and team coaching, focusing on organizational strategy and focus on improving communication, to be conducted by an external coach with experience proven public organizations

De 2003 à 2017, le jardin des Premières-Nations du Jardin botanique de Montréal a été le lieu d’exposition de 12 œuvres d’artistes autochtones dans le cadre du Concours d’œuvre murale éphémère lancé par Sylvie Paré. Ce mémoire rassemble l’ensemble de cette exposition afin d’en relever le discours général et les liens que les œuvres entretiennent entre elles, avec le Jardin et avec les territoires physiques et imaginaires. À travers une analyse formelle et symbolique des œuvres qui intègre les ontologies, épistémologies et méthodologies des Premières Nations, je souhaite réfléchir aux liens qui unissent les notions que sont le regard, le territoire, l’interconnexion et la mémoire. Le premier chapitre s’articule autour du mouvement de distanciation opéré par le regard perçu comme un intermédiaire « objectif » de l’expérience humaine et de la séparation (ou schisme) qu’il engendre entre nature et culture. Je m’intéresse ensuite à la remise en question de cette rupture par le Jardin des Premières-Nations. Le deuxième chapitre de ce mémoire s’intéresse plus spécifiquement aux perspectives obliques adoptées par les œuvres du concours en ce qu’ils se portent sur les mémoires et les marques culturelles laissées par les nations autochtones sur les territoires depuis plus de 10 000 ans. Par ailleurs, si les murales traduisent généralement une inquiétude environnementale, elles le font à travers le regard de différentes « entités » qui y circulent de manière fluide et circulaire dans l’espace, le temps et l’intersubjectivité. Elles explorent les traces physiques et imaginaires des relations entretenues avec le territoire et mettent en lumière l’existence d’une relation de réciprocité avec l’univers dont le territoire tient un rôle dynamique. / From 2003 to 2017, the First Nations Garden of the Montréal Botanical Garden has exhibited each year the mural artwork of an Indigenous artist as part of the Ephemeral mural contest launched by Sylvie Paré. This memoir brings together all of this exhibition in order to highlight the general discourse and the relations that the artworks have with each other, with the Garden and with the physical and imaginary territories. Through a formal and symbolic analysis of this exposition, that integrates the ontologies, epistemology and methodologies of the First Nations, I wish to reflect on the links that unite the notions of gaze, territory, interconnection and memory. The first chapter focuses on the distance generated by the sight seen as an intermediary “objective” of human experience, and the separation (or schism) that it created between the conceptions of nature and culture. I will then look at how the First Nations Garden questions this rupture. The second chapter of this dissertation focuses more specifically on the oblique perspectives adopted by the mural artworks in that they focus on memories and cultural marks left by the indigenous nations on the territories for more than 10,000 years. Moreover, if the murals generally express an environmental concern, they do so through the eyes of different “entities” circulating fluidly and circularly in space, time and intersubjectivity. They explore the physical and imaginary traces of relationships with the territory and highlight the existence of a relationship of reciprocity with the universe in which the territory plays a dynamic role.

Goal number 15 in United Nations Sustainable Development goals, is to halt the degradation of the ecosystems and increase the biodiversity (United Nations, 2015). This work explores the possibility of communicating the subject of biodiversity situated in a botanical garden.  Based in theories of landscape architechture, didactics and storytelling techniques, a user's intrepretations of designs are examined. The goal of the work is to facilitate a narrative around a complex topic using a spatsial elements. The work investigates wich forms of visual elements signal the topic of biodiveristy. / Delmål 15 i FN:s Agenda 2030 är att främja den biologiska mångfalden (FN, 2015). Detta arbete har som uppgift att ta reda på hur ett berättande kring ämnet ’Biologisk mångfald’ kan kommuniceras till en bred allmänhet situerat i en botanisk trädgård. Och mer konkret vilka visuella rumsliga element och symboler som kan signalera ämnet biologisk mångfald. Designförslaget är en prototyp eller modell för hur en kommunikation kring ämnet skulle kunna se ut, med grund i teorier som informationsdesign, didaktik, spatiala förhållanden och berättarteknik. Utifrån dessa teorier har sedan prototyper utformats och testats mot en tänkt målgrupp. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur olika rumsliga element eller symboler kan signalera ett givet ämne, som i detta fall innebär biologisk mångfald. Målgruppen för själva designförslaget är invånare i Västerås stad som dagligdags passerar den botaniska trädgården. En tänkt målgrupp för rapporten är dock människor med undervisande uppdrag inom fältet hållbara ekosystem och biologisk mångfald i en rumslig kontext. Grunden för arbetet är en obsersation där ett fiktivt designförslag presenterats för respondenter som passerat botaniska trädgården. Men hjälp av illustrerade rumsliga elementinnefattande symboler, växter med mera, fick respondenterna möjlighet att berätta vilka kontotationer de upplevde. Då detta är ett arbete med en inriktning mot rumslig kommnuikation är det just dom rumsliga elementen som undersöks. Detta för att skapa en förståelse för elementens betydelse, gentemot andra områden inom informationsdesign. För att vidare kunna utnyttja värdena som en förstärkning och samklang till resurser såsom text och illustration.

The theme of this diploma thesis is Practical use of the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague for Education of Lower Grades of Primary Schools. The main purpose is to chart current status of a theme of botanical garden in curricular documents, namely The Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education and School Educational Programmes of chosen elementary schools located in Prague 2. Further, the presence of this theme is explored in the sample of schoolbooks for the 4th and the 5th grades of elementary schools. There is a questionnaire survey realized among teachers of the 4th and the 5th grades in the schools listed above. The aim is to find out, how much the Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague is used for practical education. The results are shown in charts and graphs. The readiness of this botanical garden for practical education of lower grades pupils is found out by an interview with its vice-director. The next part of thesis contains planning and realizing a lesson with the 5th grade pupils. The lesson demonstrates a possibility of more frequent practical education in the botanical garden. Afterwards, the possibilities of using this particular visit of the botanical garden are analysed in relation to Natural Science...

Die paläarktische omnivore Weichwanze Dicyphus errans Wolff (Heteroptera, Miridae, Bryocorinae) zeichnet sich durch ein ausgesprochen breites Spektrum an besetzten Wirtspflanzen und konsumierten Beutetieren aus. Über 150 von D. errans akzeptierte Pflanzenarten sind erstmalig belegt worden. Der erfolgreiche Verzehr von 15 Beute-tierarten wurde quantitativ nachgewiesen. Eine weitere Besonderheit der Wanze besteht in der Präferenz für glandulär behaarte Pflanzen. Die Weichwanze besetzt somit von vielen anderen Insekten gemiedene Nischen. Untersuchungen im Botanischen Garten der Technischen Universität Dresden (2000 bis 2002) ließen auf eine bemerkenswerte räuberische Aktivität und Anpassungsfähigkeit an unterschiedliche Habitate, Beutetiere und Klimabedingungen schließen. Die fortführenden Studien im Rahmen der vorliegenden Dissertation (2002 bis 2005) erbrachten umfassende Erkenntnisse über die Art D. errans im Hinblick auf deren Morphologie, Vermehrung und Haltung, Bionomie und Ökologie (Fekundität und Ontogenese in Abhängigkeit von ausgewählten Einflussfaktoren, Dormanz), Aufenthalt und Fortbewegung (räumliche Orientierung und strukturanalytische Studien zu den Interaktionen zwischen Wanze und Pflanzenoberflächen), den Nahrungserwerb (Verzehrleistung und Omnivorie) sowie Videodokumentationen der Lebensweise und des Verhaltens. Der Generalist und Opportunist D. errans integriert sich als Pflanzensaftsauger regulierendes Kompartiment neben echten Räubern und Parasitoiden in Biozönosen. Als omnivores Insekt übernimmt die Wanze eine intermediäre und supplementäre Position in Nahrungsnetzen. Die Lebensweise dieser Weichwanzenart erscheint sehr komplex. Die enge Assoziation mit Pflanzen tritt stark in den Vordergrund. Sie ist in jeglichen Betrachtungen von D. errans unbedingt zu berücksichtigen und bietet außerdem als ein Modellsystem ein spannendes Forschungsfeld im Hinblick auf die Adaptation partiell räuberisch lebender Insekten an behaarte Pflanzen. / The omnivorous mirid bug Dicyphus errans Wolff (Heteroptera, Miridae, Bryocorinae) lives on a wide range of host plants and feeds on various preys. Over 150 plant species accepted by the mirid bug have been identified. It was experimentally shown that 15 prey species are efficiently consumed. Another characteristical features of D. errans is that it preferes hairy plants. Thus, the mirid bug occupies unique niches avoided by many other insects. Investigations, carried out at the Botanical Garden of the Technical University of Dresden (2000-2002) gave evidence for a remarkable predatory activity and ability to adaptation to different habitats, preys and climate conditions. The studies presented in the dissertation (2002-2005) gave the comprehensive knowledge about the species D. errans, especially its morphology, rearing, bionomy and ecology (fecundity and ontogenesis depending on selected factors, dormancy), habitat preference and locomotion (spatial orientation and structural-analytical studies of the interactions between the bug and plant surfaces), foraging and food ingestion (predatory capacity and omnivory). In addition, video documentation of the modus vivendi and the behavior was performed. The generalist and opportunist D. errans lives together with predators and parasitoids and takes part in a biological control of phytophagous insects in biocenoses. The life history of this bug species appeared to be very complex. The close association to plants has to be considered. Dicyphus errans offers a model system for further research on omnivorous predatory insects connected with hairy plants.
