From an analysis of shift-share was performed a descriptive analysis of the production structure that allows both the comparison of the structures of the various communes of the CIPP in the state and analyze the industrial and commercial sectors in this region, which are expected to be directly affected with the implementation of the complex. The results indicate that the positive effects found for the growth and regional development can be leveraged in the local economy, for these cities, and this performance can be attributed to the fact of being inserted into the area of influence of the Pecem Industrial and Port area. / O presente estudo faz uma análise dos possíveis impactos da implantação do Complexo Industrial-Portuário do Pecém-CIPP como estratégia de desenvolvimento local da área de influência, os municípios de Caucaia e São Gonçalo do Amarante. A metodologia utilizada neste trabalho foi a análise Diferencial-estrutural dos setores produtivos quanto aos fatores renda e emprego tendo como parâmetro o Estado do Ceará no comparativo entre o ano de 2000 e 2006. Como resultados desta análise, no caso do setor industrial, o qual se espera que seja impactado diretamente com a implantação do complexo, este apresentaou para o município de Caucaia um efeito positivo líquido e diferencial tanto para a geração de emprego como para renda, já quanto ao município de São Gonçalo do Amarante, este apresentou um efeito líquido e diferencial apenas para a geração de emprego, sendo que a geração de renda deste município apresentou apenas um efeito diferencial positivo. Os resultados apontam que os efeitos positivos encontrados para o crescimento e desenvolvimento regional podem ser potencializados na economia local e, este desempenho pode ser atribuído ao fato de estar inserido na área de influência do Complexo Industrial e Portuário do Pecém.

Les neurones sérotoninergiques forment des réseaux complexes avec les autres systèmes de neurotransmission dans le système nerveux central. Le rôle du récepteur 5-HT2B dans ces réseaux est peu connu. L’ablation génétique ou la surexpression virale du récepteur 5-HT2B dans les neurones sérotoninergiques, nous ont permis de mettre en évidence sa participation à l’excitabilité de ces neurones. De fait, le récepteur 5-HT2B est nécessaire à l’action des antidépresseurs et de l'ecstasy qui provoquent une accumulation extracellulaire de sérotonine. Aussi, le récepteur 5-HT2B est capable d’agir tel un modulateur positif, à l’opposé des autorécepteurs 5-HT1A, sur l’activité des neurones sérotoninergiques. Ensuite, l’étude de la distribution du récepteur 5-HT2B et de son interaction avec la protéine de pontage CIPP nous a permis de décrire la distribution subcellulaire du récepteur 5-HT2B dans des cultures primaires de neurones d’hippocampe. La co-expression du récepteur 5-HT2B avec CIPP augmente significativement son adressage somatodendritique dans les synapses excitatrices. Au niveau fonctionnel, CIPP augmente la libération dendritique de calcium dépendante de la stimulation du récepteur 5-HT2B. En synergie avec CIPP, cette stimulation augmente le regroupement des récepteurs glutamatergiques NMDA suggérant un rôle dans la plasticité synaptique pouvant expliquer certains résultats précédents. / Serotonergic neurons are organized in complex networks interacting with other neurotransmitter systems in the brain. The 5-HT2B receptor contribution in these networks remains unclear. Using 5-HT2B receptor genetic ablation or a viral overexpression in the serotoninergic neurons, we have demonstrated its participation to the excitability of these neurons. In fact, 5-HT2B receptors are necessary for serotonin accumulation induced by ecstasy and antidepressants effects. Moreover, 5-HT2B receptors activation counteracts the 5-HT1A dependant inhibition on serotonergic neurons activity. Here we propose 5-HT2B receptor as positive modulator of serotonergic neurons. Then, studying 5-HT2B receptors and CIPP scaffold protein interaction allow us to identify the subcellular distribution of the receptor and a functional role of CIPP. Indeed, overexpression of both proteins in primary hippocampal cultures of neurons increases 5-HT2B receptors somatodendritic targeting at excitatory synapses. Thus CIPP increases dendritic calcium release dependent on 5-HT2B receptor stimulation. In synergy with CIPP, this stimulation increases NMDA receptors clustering suggesting a role in synaptic plasticity that could explain some of the previous findings.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / O presente estudo buscou avaliar a efetividade do Programa Segundo Tempo na cidade de Fortaleza- CE à luz da Teoria do Campo Esportivo de Pierre Bourdieu e utilizando o modelo avaliativo Contexto-Insumos-Processo-Produto (CIPP). Frente a uma sociedade permeada por conflitos sociais, as polÃticas pÃblicas assumem um importante papel no atendimento à populaÃÃo carente, podendo constituir-se como um instrumento de promoÃÃo de mudanÃas sociais (HÃFLING, 2001). O Programa Segundo Tempo, criado com o intuito de democratizar o acesso à prÃtica esportiva para potencializar a qualidade de vida de crianÃas e jovens de baixa renda, desde sua criaÃÃo tem tido grande representatividade em todo o paÃs, sendo alvo de diversas avaliaÃÃes. Delineando-se como uma pesquisa ex post facto, de carÃter predominantemente descritivo, utilizou como instrumentos de coleta de dados um questionÃrio para os beneficiados e uma entrevista semi-estruturada para os professores e representantes da gestÃo da escola. As respostas objetivas obtidas por meio dos questionÃrios foram categorizadas com o programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (versÃo 20.0), enquanto que as respostas Ãs perguntas abertas dos questionÃrios e as informaÃÃes obtidas pelas entrevistas foram tratadas de acordo com a tÃcnica de AnÃlise de ConteÃdo definida por BARDIN (2004). Os dados obtidos foram agrupados em quatro dimensÃes temÃticas: contexto, insumos, processo, produto; e nos permitiram concluir que o Programa Segundo Tempo, na cidade de Fortaleza-CE, promoveu melhorias na qualidade vida de seus participantes, e forneceu elementos para a mudanÃa dessas realidades a curto e longo prazo, constituindo-se assim uma polÃtica pÃblica efetiva. / This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Program Second Time in the city of Fortaleza-CE in light of the Sports Field Theory of Pierre Bourdieu and using the evaluation model Context-Input-Process-Product (CIPP). Faced with a society permeated by social conflicts, public policies play an important role in serving the needy population, and it can act as a social change promotional tool (HOFLING, 2001). The Program Second Time, created in order to democratize access to sports activities to enhance the quality of life of children and low-income youth, since its inception has had great representation across the country, the target of several evaluations. Taking shape as a research ex post facto, predominantly descriptive character, used as data collection instruments a questionnaire to the beneficiaries and a semi-structured interview for teachers and representatives of school management. Objective responses obtained through the questionnaires were categorized with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) (version 20.0), while the answers to the questionnaires open questions and the information obtained by the interviews were treated according to the technique of Content Analysis defined by Bardin (2004). Data were grouped into four thematic dimensions: context, inputs, process, product; and concluded that the Second Half Program in the city of Fortaleza, promoted improvements in the quality of life of its participants, and provided elements for changing these realities in the short and long term, thus constituting an effective public policy.

This dissertation presents an evaluation of a funded consultancy that was intended to bring about change in the education and training of police in Australia in response to illicit drugs. Sponsored by what was at the time known as the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care, the ultimate goal of the consultancy was a national framework for police education and training to enhance frontline police response to illicit drug problems. The research used a case study design. Guba and Stufflebeam’s (1970) Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) model was used to organise the presentation of a rich description of the design, development and implementation of the consultancy. Application of this framework enabled illumination of a number of issues related to social policy, change and innovation, and quality improvement processes. The study explores the role of education and training in organisational change and concludes that the potential of external consultancy activity to effect meaningful change in police education, training and practice is limited by a number of factors. Key findings of the study are that while a number of consultancy processes could have been enhanced, the primary determinants of the extent to which a change in police education and training will enhance frontline practice are contextual and conceptual factors. The study reveals that the response of frontline police to illicit drug use is influenced by multivariate factors. The findings of this study suggest that while frontline police are keen to provide solutions to a range of practice issues in response to illicit drug problems, they desire concrete strategies that are well defined and supported by management, consistent with policy and within the law. However, the complexity of police activity in response to illicit drugs; the dissonance between the conceptual frameworks of police and health agencies; and, resistance to what is perceived as externally initiated change in police practice, education and training; were found to be powerful inhibitors of an utopian attempt to enhance frontline police response to illicit drug problems. Using the metaphor of board games, the study concludes that the development of an education and training framework will be of little value in achieving enhanced frontline practice in response to illicit drug problems unless the criteria for enhanced response are made more explicit and seen to be congruent with both the conceptualisation and operationalisation of police roles and functions. Moreover, the study questions the mechanisms through which changes in policy are conceived, implemented and evaluated and highlights a need for greater congruence between evaluation frameworks and the nature of change.

This study, in view of the need to guide the decision making of management in the Health System, proposes general objective formatively evaluate the implementation process of PMAQ in Ceará. The theoretical approach used the CIPP evaluation model proposed by Daniel L. Stufflebeam, heuristic based on four components: Context, Inputs, Process and Product, which guided the development of a matrix for assessing the evaluative PMAQ. The methodology used in this study was guided by qualitative approach exploratory-descriptive, against the backdrop of the state of Ceará. Were used as research techniques: (1) documentary research and (2) a structured interview. The process of organization and data analysis was performed from a content analysis. Were observed ethical guidelines in Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council, and the research protocol was approved by the CEP da Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú, under No. 133 724. As a result, the study indicates that the process of implementation of the state Ceará PMAQ took so vertically by the Ministry of Health, with weaknesses identified by the study participants, generating differences in perceptions between the representatives of the municipalities and the Ministry of Health Another finding is the convergence of opinions on the upgrading of human, technological and financial. Finally divergences of discourses of managers on significant points as financing activities of state management, involvement of professionals, especially medical professional and popular participation. Limiting factor of the study include: (1) the non-inclusion of SUS as a data source, and (2) the difficulty of interviewing city managers in the 2012 electoral period. Further studies are suggested to further the theme. / Em 2011 o Ministério da Saúde lançou o Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e Qualidade - PMAQ no intuito de ampliar o acesso e a melhoria da qualidade da Atenção Básica à Saúde (ABS), com garantia de um padrão de qualidade comparável nacional, regional e localmente de maneira a permitir maior transparência e efetividade das ações governamentais direcionadas à ABS. Este estudo, tendo em vista a necessidade de orientar a tomada de decisões de gestão no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde, propõe como objetivo geral avaliar formativamente o processo de implantação do PMAQ no Estado do Ceará. Como referencial teórico, utilizou-se o Modelo CIPP de avaliação, proposto por Daniel L. Stufflebeam, baseado em quatro componentes heurísticos: Contexto, Inputs, Processos e Produto, os quais orientaram a elaboração de uma matriz avaliativa para a avaliação do PMAQ. A metodologia adotada neste estudo foi orientada por abordagem qualitativa de natureza exploratória-descritiva, tendo como cenário o Estado do Ceará. Foram utilizadas como técnicas de pesquisa: (1) a pesquisa documental e (2) a entrevista estruturada. O processo de organização e análise de dados foi efetuado a partir da Análise Temática de Conteúdo. Foram observadas as diretrizes éticas constantes da Resolução 196/96 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde, e o protocolo de pesquisa foi aprovado pelo CEP da Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú, sob o n° 133.724. Como resultados, o estudo aponta que o processo de implantação do PMAQ no Estado Ceará se deu de forma verticalizada pelo Ministério da Saúde, com fragilidades apontadas pelos participantes do estudo, gerando divergências de percepções entre os representantes dos Municípios e os do Ministério da Saúde. Outra constatação é a convergência das opiniões na readequação dos recursos humanos, tecnológicos e financeiros. Por fim as divergências dos discursos dos gestores em pontos significantes como financiamento, atuação da gestão estadual, envolvimentos dos profissionais, especialmente o profissional médico e a participação popular. Como fator limitante do estudo destacamos: (1) a não inclusão dos usuários do SUS como fonte de dados; e (2) a dificuldade de entrevistar os gestores municipais no período eleitoral de 2012. Novos estudos são sugeridos para aprofundamento do tema.

The wide variety of strata, structural features, and landscapes of Capitol Reef National Park result from its complex, yet discoverable history. Our task was to write and design an informative book on this complexity while making it engaging for the public. We approached the design of this book using Stufflebeam's (2007) CIPP model. The CIPP model uses both summative and formative evaluations in the categories of context, input, process, and product. It provides the framework to methodically investigate the value of a product and identify and correct less effective pedagogical and design elements during its development. We demonstrated the use of the CIPP model as we wrote and illustrated pages of our book. Beginning with context, we identified our target audience, decided how we would provide a book that would serve this cohort, and made a plan for what we would accomplish with Exploring the Diverse Geology of Capitol Reef National Park. The input step involved understanding how to make our goals reality, especially concerning the design of the final book. We researched how the brain learns most effectively and incorporated those ideas into our book. We used principles developed by Clark and Mayer (2011) to reduce extraneous cognitive load. Research by James Hartley (1994) guided the instructional design and typography techniques. The process step helped us stay organized and follow our original plans. Finally, the product step enabled us and others to evaluate our product both formatively and summatively to make necessary alterations and plans for possibly future editions.

<p> Micro- and nanoplastic (MNP ) particles are an increasing environmental concern related to the widespread uncontrolled degradation of various commercial products made of plastic materials and their associated waste disposal. Most frequently MNP particles are documented as pollutants in terrestrial, aquatic, and marine environments. Reports of MNP detected in snow samples from mountain glaciers in remote locations suggest their atmospheric transport. Recently, common technology used to repair sewer pipes was reported as one of the direct emission sources of airborne MNP in urban areas. This research reports on the multi-modal detailed chemical characterization of the MNP particles related to waste discharged in the repair process and compares MNP composition with the components of uncured resin and cured plastic material used in the process. Comprehensive analysis of these materials employed complementary use of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, scanning transmission x-ray spectro-microscopy, single particle laser ablation time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and direct analysis in real-time high-resolution mass spectrometry. It is shown that the composition of the relatively large MP particles resembles components of plastic material used in the process. In contrast, composition of the NP particles is significantly different, suggesting their formation from unintended polymerization of water-soluble components occurring in drying droplets of the air-discharged waste. Results are further discussed to guide the detection and advanced characterization of NP particles in future field studies. </p>

The maintenance or replacement of deteriorated pipes and culverts is a constant and significant concern for municipalities and transportation agencies in the United States (Donaldson and Wallingford, 2010). Trenchless technologies and especially the Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) method have become increasingly common ways to preserve infrastructures owing to their feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and fewer social impacts (Jung and Sinha, 2007). Therefore, there is a growing need to understand the direct and indirect effects of pipeline rehabilitation activities on the environment. Nearly all past CIPP studies have focused on its mechanical properties, and its environmental impacts are poorly investigated and documented (Allouche et al. 2012). Sewer pipelines and storm-water culverts are administered by municipalities and transportation agencies who bear the responsibility for rehabilitation and renewal of these infrastructures. In consequence, they rarely allow sampling and research projects in the field due to liability issues. This is a main obstacle to conducting comprehensive, precise, and unbiased research on CIPP environmental impacts and to date, the degree of relevant health effects and related environmental impacts have remained unknown. Numerous building indoor air contamination incidents indicate that work is needed to understand the magnitude of styrene emission from CIPP sanitary sewer repairs. The main goal of this study was to better comprehend Volatile Organic Compounds emission at three CIPP sanitary sewer installation sites in one U.S. city. Results showed that CIPP chemical emissions may be a health risk to workers and nearby building inhabitants. Additional testing and investigations regarding chemical emissions from CIPP should be commissioned to fill in the environmental and public health knowledge gaps. The acute and chronic chemical exposure risks of CIPP chemical steam constituents and styrene to sensitive populations should be further examined. Other goals of this study were to estimate the magnitude of solid waste generated as well as the amount of certain criteria air pollutants and greenhouse gases emitted from onsite heavy equipment for both CIPP and open-cut sites in a U.S city. The results indicated that the amount of open-cut related solid waste, criteria air pollutants, and greenhouse gases were greater than those during CIPP activities. Additional work is needed to quantify pollutant emissions from CIPP and open-cut activities and consider emissions from a cradle-to-grave standpoint.

nÃo hà / Avaliar à uma forma de se obter feedback. O Tribunal de Contas da UniÃo (TCU) avalia as InstituiÃÃes Federais de Ensino Superior (IFES) por meio de nove indicadores de gestÃo, e o MinistÃrio da EducaÃÃo e Cultura (MEC), dentre outros indicadores, avalia os cursos das InstituiÃÃes de Ensino Superior (IES) por meio do Exame Nacional dos Estudantes (ENADE) dos cursos. Entre as abordagens sobre avaliaÃÃo educacional, tem-se o modelo CIPP, o qual avalia a instituiÃÃo de forma sistÃmica, com vistas à tomada de decisÃo, sob quatro Ãticas: contexto, insumos, processos e produtos. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral investigar, sob a perspectiva do modelo CIPP de avaliaÃÃo, se os indicadores de gestÃo do TCU influenciam o desempenho dos cursos no ENADE. Portanto, quanto aos objetivos do trabalho, a pesquisa à explicativa. Quanto à abordagem do problema, à quantitativa, porque se utiliza de anÃlise de regressÃo linear mÃltipla para investigar a influÃncia das variÃveis independentes (indicadores de gestÃo do TCU) sobre a variÃvel dependente (ENADE dos cursos). Quanto Ãs tÃcnicas empregadas tem-se a documentaÃÃo indireta, aà incluÃda a pesquisa bibliogrÃfica e documental, bem como a pesquisa direta, aà incluÃda a pesquisa empÃrica, no Ãmbito das unidades acadÃmicas da Faculdade de EducaÃÃo (FACED), Faculdade de Direito (FADIR) e Faculdade de Economia, AdministraÃÃo, AtuÃria e Contabilidade (FEAAC) destinada ao teste das hipÃteses da pesquisa. Os resultados indicam que os cursos analisados possuem desempenhos diferentes, entretanto, a anÃlise de regressÃo mÃltipla aplicÃvel ao conjunto de observaÃÃes revelou que, entre os nove indicadores de gestÃo analisados, apenas o indicador funcionÃrio-equivalente por professor-equivalente (FEPE) nÃo influencia o resultado do ENADE e os demais indicadores do TCU que influenciam o resultado do ENADE se inserem nas quatro plataformas do modelo CIPP. / Evaluation is a way to obtain feedback. The Audit Court (Tribunal de Contas da UniÃo â TCU) evaluates Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES)â performances through nine management indicators and the Education and Culture Ministry (MEC) evaluates higher education institutions (IES)â courses, among others indicators, through the courses Students National Survey (ENADE). Among various approaches on educational assessment, the CIPP evaluation model evaluates the institution in a systematic way, with the purpose of decision making, about four points of view: context, inputs, processes and products. This research aims at investigating the CIPP evaluation model perspective, if the TCU indicators management influence the courses ENADE performance. By this work objectives, itâs an explanatory research. By the problem approach, itâs quantitative because it employs multiple linear regression analysis to investigate the independent variablesâ influence (indicators management TCU, per course) on the dependent variables (ENADE courses). As the techniques employed have to indirect documentation, including therein the literature and documents, as well as direct research, including therein the empirical research within the academic units FACED, FADIR and FEAAC, Federal University of Cearà (UFC) designed to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that the courses object of analysis have different performances, however, the multiple regression analysis applied to the set of observations revealed that, among the nine TCU management indicators analyzed, only the gauge-equivalent employee per teacher-equivalent (FEPE) doesnât influence ENADE outcomes, and the other indicators which influence ENADE outcomes, has four platforms CIPP model include variables that explain the behavior of the dependent variable.
