An industrial control valve has been designed by Eaton (AxisPro® valve). The servo performance valve has onboard electronics that features external and internal sensor interfaces, advanced control modes and network capability. Advanced control modes are implement in the valves firmware. With the help of the white space it is possilbe to execute custom code directly on the valve that interact with these controls. Small OEM applications, like rubber moulding machines, benefit from the comination of build in controls and custom code, to provide adaptations for their special machines.

In the wake of the misbegotten US invasion of Iraq in 2003, we have to acknowledge that there are critical flaws in how our intelligence community (the CIA and its “sister-agencies”) produces knowledge. Instead of arguing that the intelligence community acted in bad faith, or that the mistaken pre-war intelligence was a “perfect storm” of bad luck, as others have, this dissertation argues that the intelligence community’s rhetorical culture led it into fatally flawed epistemological practices, demonstrated most dramatically in the mistaken pre-invasion allegations of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction programs. Chapter one explains the problematic assumptions behind the question of whether or not the intelligence community overtly politicized its pre-war intelligence estimates. In chapter two, the intelligence community’s theories of language are explored. Chapter three addresses how the intelligence community teaches and practices writing. The intelligence community’s inflexible commitment to writing in a “clear” prose style proves problematic when that clarity belies the uncertainty of its estimates. The fourth and final chapter addresses issues of disciplinarity in the intelligence community, explores the possibility of a rhetorical theory of intelligence, and offers conclusions. / text

I also aimed to trace a social history of these institutions, realizing the profile of policing workers, prisoners and policed people. In addition, I tried to understand the political projects that were in dispute through discussions and issues raised around the activities of these policing institutions, recognizing the political groups and their links. It was inevitable to observe the city of Pelotas and its residents, mainly through police sources, seeking to map the social relationships built between the residents and the city. / Nesta tese objetivei identificar e analisar as pr?ticas, os trabalhadores e os administradores das institui??es de policiamento e pris?o na cidade de Pelotas, entre os anos de 1869 e 1889, no contexto p?s-guerra do Paraguai. Igualmente, procurei tra?ar uma hist?ria social das institui??es, percebendo o perfil dos trabalhadores do policiamento, dos presos e policiados. Dentro disso, tentei perceber os projetos pol?ticos que estavam em disputa atrav?s das discuss?es e problem?ticas levantadas em torno das atividades destas institui??es de policiamento, reconhecendo os grupos pol?ticos e seus v?nculos. Foi inevit?vel observar a cidade de Pelotas e seus moradores, principalmente atrav?s das fontes policiais, buscando mapear as rela??es sociais constru?das entre os ?ltimos com a primeira.

(PENCE) of the Family Health Strategy of Porto Alegre. It will also describe among these patients the occurrence of polypharmacy, the use of potentially inappropriate medications and its association with patients? socioeconomic, lifestyle and health variables, especially the signs and symptoms of depression and cognitive deficit. A cross-sectional population-based study conducted from January 2013 to December 2015, approved by the Research Ethics Committee of PUCRS (n? 826.858). The prevalence of polypharmacy was reported in 35.7% of the population and was the most common drug amount of all age groups, including the younger individuals (55-59 years) (28.1%). After adjustment for socioeconomic and health variables, women (OR 2.46; 95% CI 1.71-3.53), 75-79 years (OR 3.13; 95% CI 1.68-5.83), 1-3 years of study (OR 2.57; 95% CI 1.43-4.59), ex-smokers (OR 1.89; 95% CI 1.29-2.78), poor or very poor self-perceived health (OR 6.43; 95% CI 3.20-12.90), chronic conditions (cardiovascular-related) and depression symptoms were strongly associated with polypharmacy. The prevalence of PIM in the total population was 65.4%, representing a common finding in all age groups, including younger individuals (55-59 years) (60.0%). Former smokers (OR 1.06; 95% CI 1.00-1.12) and current smokers (OR 1.10; 95% CI 1.01-1.18), regular self-perception of health (OR 1.08; 95% CI 1.02-1.15), use three or four medications (OR 1.88; 95% CI 1.65-2.15), and individuals with signs and symptoms of cognitive deficit (OR 1.14; 95% CI 1.03-1.26) and depression (OR 1.12; 95% CI 1.04-1.21) were significantly associated with PIM. Polypharmacy (OR 2.80; 95% CI 2.48-3.16) had the strongest association. Polypharmacy and MPI are prevalent in middle-aged individuals, a population that is poorly researched, and the elderly. The present study proposed an advance in pharmacoepidemiological studies, analyzing some gaps in the literature related to middle-aged adults with unfavorable socioeconomic characteristics, such as low income and schooling. / Este estudo tem por objetivo descrever os medicamentos utilizados por pessoas com 55 anos ou mais, cadastradas no Programa de Envelhecimento Cerebral (PENCE) da Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia de Porto Alegre, a ocorr?ncia de polifarm?cia, o uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados e a associa??o com vari?veis socioecon?micas, h?bitos de vida e sa?de, principalmente os sinais e sintomas de depress?o e de d?ficit cognitivo. Estudo transversal de base populacional, realizado entre janeiro de 2013 a dezembro de 2015, aprovado pelo Comit? de ?tica em Pesquisa da PUCRS (n? 826.858). A preval?ncia de polifarm?cia na popula??o total foi de 35,7%, representando um achado comum a todas as faixas et?rias, incluindo os indiv?duos mais jovens (55-59 anos) (28,1%).

The paper uses as a reference the transformation of the conception of Public Security held in the countries of consolidated democracy and the way the transition to democracy occurred in Brazil, taking into account the theoretical framework of the Transitional Justice. To analyze such consequences the paper gives an overview of actions taken at the federal level over the first three decades after democracy, from the role of the Armed Forces, the National Secretariat of Public Security and the National Human Rights Secretariat. To complement this assessment the paper also presents a survey of the level of transparency of state agencies of Public Safety, and discusses how transparency can be a transitional mechanism with potential to bring about changes on authoritarian traditions. The paper concludes that these traditions held great power and influence in decision-making processes in the Brazilian Public Security area along the first three post-democratization decades, keeping current militarized and bureaucratic vision with closed institutions without transparency, therefore preventing the area of public security to make the transition to a democratic conception. / O presente trabalho busca discutir as consequ?ncias da tradi??o autorit?ria sobre o uso da for?a, refor?adas pelo regime autorit?rio vivido no Brasil entre 1964 e 1988, na concep??o de Seguran?a P?blica vigente no Brasil. O trabalho utiliza como refer?ncia a transforma??o da concep??o de Seguran?a P?blica ocorrida nos pa?ses de democracia consolidada e a forma como ocorreu a transi??o para o regime democr?tico no Brasil, a partir dos referenciais te?ricos da Justi?a de Transi??o. Para analisar essas consequ?ncias o trabalho apresenta um balan?o das a??es realizadas em n?vel federal ao longo das tr?s primeiras d?cadas p?s- redemocratiza??o, a partir do papel das For?as Armadas, da Secretaria Nacional de Seguran?a P?blica e da Secretaria Nacional de Direitos Humanos. Para complementar essa avalia??o o trabalho ainda apresenta uma pesquisa sobre o n?vel de transpar?ncia dos ?rg?os estaduais de Seguran?a P?blica e como a transpar?ncia pode ser um mecanismo transicional com potencial para provocar mudan?as sobre tradi??es autorit?rias. O trabalho conclui que essas tradi??es mantiveram grande for?a e influ?ncia nos processos de tomada de decis?o na Seguran?a P?blica brasileira ao longo das tr?s primeiras d?cadas p?s- redemocratiza??o, mantendo vigente uma vis?o militarizada e burocr?tica, com institui??es fechadas e sem transpar?ncia, o que impedem a transi??o da ?rea para uma concep??o democr?tica.

To that end, we chosen news that deals with the same fact: the Datafolha results about on the evaluation of the government of President Dilma Rousseff published on February 7, 2015. The reported fact refers to the low popularity of the petista - linked to the Workers' Party (PT) - and the political situations that triggered this drop. We highlight a corpus that is limited to three news items, taken from three different online midias. According to the principles of Theory Argumentative Semantic, from Oswald Ducrot's (1987), we analyze the news in order to perceive polyphony in the journalists' discourses and, therefore, to capture the argumentative orientation in the news. The results point to the conclusion that the same fact may have different meaning depending on the media which relays and the objective of the communicative reporter. To for this kind of meaning, the argumentative operators and the implicit act as devices that indicate the voices of other enunciators in the news and reveal the saying assumed by the journalist. / Nesta disserta??o, fazemos uma an?lise sem?ntico-argumentativa, a partir dos sentidos orientados pelos impl?citos e operadores ? como ?ndice de argumentatividade e polifonia em not?cias online. Para tanto, escolhemos not?cias que tratam de um mesmo fato: os resultados da pesquisa Datafolha sobre a avalia??o do governo da presidenta Dilma Rousseff publicada em 07 de fevereiro de 2015. O fato noticiado refere-se ? baixa popularidade da petista ? vinculada ao Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) ? e ?s situa??es pol?ticas que desencadearam essa baixa. Destacamos um corpus que se limita a tr?s not?cias, retiradas em tr?s suportes online diferentes. Sob os princ?pios da Teoria da Argumenta??o na L?ngua (TAL), de Oswald Ducrot (1987), analisamos os enunciados das not?cias com a finalidade de perceber a polifonia nos discursos dos jornalistas e, por conseguinte, captar a orienta??o argumentativa no texto noticiado. Os resultados apontam para a conclus?o de que um mesmo fato pode ter sentido distinto a depender da m?dia que o veicula e dos prop?sitos comunicativos do jornalista. Para essa interpreta??o, os impl?citos e os operadores argumentativos funcionam como dispositivos que indicam as vozes de outros enunciadores nas not?cias e revelam o dizer assumido pelo jornalista.

For so much, he/she came, for first, the allusive theoretical referencial to the characteristics of the communication process and their implications in the judicial expertise, with emphasis for the verifiable noises in each stage, and, at the end of that stage, the own expertise concept was discussed, to the light of the communication process. Soon afterwards, field research was accomplished in the city of Florian??polis / SC with magistrates, experts and lawyers with the purpose of verifying, indeed, there are noises in the process of communication accounting forensic accounting, regarding those issuing ones and addressees of the messages and where those noises ponder. The results revealed, among other aspects, that there are differences in relation to the expertise concept, their procedures and rites, on the part of the magistrates, lawyers and experts and that, probably, in function of the common repertoire, there is adult alignment among the lawyers' opinions and of the magistrates. Like this, the accounting judicial expertise can give his/her contribution, for the society, with the offer of more didactic and clear decisions, with larger quality of the information pericial generating better understanding conditions on the part of the users and users of decision, but so that that happens is necessary to know the communication process, to formulate appropriate messages to the addressees' repertoire, avoiding the noxious effects of the noises. / O objetivo geral desse trabalho ?? identificar se h?? ru??dos que possam comprometer o processo da comunica????o pericial judicial cont??bil.

The enterprise survives essentially with the credit mechanism, the latter being one of its own characteristics as it participates directly in the collective economic activity. Even due to a financial unbalanced reason or due to usual reasons in the market, including the globalization advent, the competition becomes fierce. The competence and the entrepreneurial planning are vital factors for the administration performance. Therefore, such an enterprise might have unsatisfactory results. Consequently, even through an enterprise recuperation plan, the reality is very complicated, because at this point several enterprises are already exposed to bankruptcy. Facing this condition the judge will designate an authorized professional to demonstrate the enterprise financial peculiarities. The aim is to maintain the rights and the obligations of the involved parties. Having the accounting several specialties and being one of them the AUDIT EXPERT it is used as one of the tools to clear up situations where there are disputes. When an Audit expert is performed, it should be taken into consideration the social effects resulting from it, mainly because the Auditor Expert is a justice assistant. An empiric research, with a specific questionnaire applied to judges of the civil courts that belong to the great ABC area this project has tried to highlight the fairness among the procedures. They are adopted by using the structure, the veracity through the technical and scientifical knowledge over facts capable of providing to the judge the elements of conviction. So, he can decide with a higher degree of accuracy due to the Audit Expert Report effectiveness. Such a report, attached to the court records, allows the magistrate the knowledge of the facts, which he would hardly have in hands, if it were any other way i.e. to use it as a support tool for taking decisions whenever an enterprise is part of a process of Forced Agreement or Bankruptcy. Based on the answers the final conclusion is reached and becomes evident that the Audit Expert contributes a lot to the magistrate while taking decisions in specific processes of Forced Agreement and Bankruptcy civil courts. / No Brasil o instituto da Fal??ncia e Concordata abrange todos os tipos de entidades produtivas, quer seja em forma de sociedade coletiva ou de firma individual, conforme determinada no Decreto-Lei n?? 7.661, de 21 de junho de 1945.

Ss were 80 older persons (60 years old or more), of both genders (85% of women), who attend to third age groups. The majority (66,25%) was in the young-old group (60-69 years old), was either married (42,5%) or widowed (40%), having son (83,75%), catholic (75%), retired (61,25%), with many different professions, living in their own home (83,75%), alone (28,75%) or with husband / wife (27,5%), and of middle class (61,3%). EDAO-R is a clinical assessment, and then the reliability was taken from an interrater coefficient (Cohen s kappa) between two independent judges. The convergent validity was taken across assessment instruments, Ferrans and Power s Quality of Life Index (IQV) and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), as external criterion. The results showed statistically significant interaction, taken through the Spearman s correlation test, between EDAO-R and age (rs= -0,261, p<0,01) and, through the Contingency test between EDAO-R and the person s occupational conditions (C=0,468, p<0,05). The sample tended to the best adaptive levels when assessment through EDAO-R, as to the best scores when assessment through IQV and GDS-15. The reliability for the adaptive efficacy was ? =0,503. When analyzed by EDAO-R s sectors, the Affective-Relational had k=0,551; Productivity had k=0,459; Organic had k=0,612 and the Social-Cultural had k=0,650, which are considered from fair to good. Statistically significant interactions were observed through Spearman s correlation test, between EDAO-R and IQV (rs=-0,449, p<0,01) and between EDAO-R and GDS-15 (rs=0,397, p<0,01). The results are discussed considering the socio-demographic profile of the sample, and indicate that EDAO-R is a reliable and valid measure of the adaptive efficacy when applied to the elderly people who attend to third age groups. Besides that, considering the used operational assessment categories, it s possible to obtain good agreement scores between independent judges. / Considerando as evid?ncias de precis?o e validade da Escala Diagn?stica Adaptativa Operacionalizada-Redefinida (EDAO-R) quando aplicada a adultos e a necessidade de se ampliar o leque de instrumentos e procedimentos dispon?veis para a avalia??o da pessoa idosa, este estudo teve como objetivos estimar a precis?o e a validade convergente da EDAO-R, aplicada a pessoas idosas. Foram avaliadas 80 pessoas, com 60 anos ou mais de idade, de ambos os sexos, predominantemente mulheres (85%), freq?entadoras de grupos da terceira idade, com idades entre 60 e 69 anos (66,25%), casadas (42,5%) ou vi?vas (40%), tendo filhos (83,75%), de religi?o cat?lica (75%), aposentadas (61,25%), com profiss?es diversificadas, residindo em moradia pr?pria (83,75%), sozinhas (28,75%) ou com o c?njuge (27,5%), e de classe m?dia (61,3%). Por se tratar de avalia??o cl?nica, a precis?o foi estimada atrav?s de coeficiente de acordo (kappa de Cohen) entre dois ju?zes independentes. A validade convergente foi estimada utilizando-se o ?ndice de Qualidade de Vida (IQV), de Ferrans e Powers c a Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), como crit?rios externos. Obteve-se associa??es estatisticamente significantes, atrav?s do teste de correla??o de Spearman, entre a EDAO-R e idade (rs= -0,261, p<0,01) e, atrav?s do teste de Conting?ncia, entre a EDAO-R e a condi??o ocupacional da pessoa (C=0,468, p<0,05). A amostra tendeu aos melhores n?veis adaptativos, quando avaliada pela EDAO-R, assim como aos melhores escores, quando avaliada pelo IQV e pela GDS-15. O coeficiente de precis?o obtido para a efic?cia adaptativa geral foi te=0,503. Avaliada por setores, o Afetivo- Relacional obteve k=0,551; o da Produtividade, te=0,459; o Org?nico, k=0,612 e o S?cio-Cultural k=0,650, coeficientes considerados de moderados a bons. Foram observadas associa??es estatisticamente significantes, atrav?s do teste de correla??o de Spearman, entre a EDAO-R e o IQV (rs=-0,449, p<0,01 e entre a EDAO-R e a GDS-15 (rs=0,397, p<0,01). Os resultados s?o discutidos em fun??o do perfil s?cio-demogr?fico da amostra e indicam que a EDAO-R ? uma medida precisa e v?lida da efic?cia adaptativa quando aplicada a pessoas idosas que freq?entam atividades em grupos da terceira idade. Al?m, disto, em fun??o da boa operacionaliza??o das categorias de avalia??o, ? poss?vel obter-se bons ?ndices de acordo entre avaliadores independentes.
