Sistemáticas de gestão de layout para aprimoramento dos fluxos de uma biblioteca universitária

Argenta, Aline da Silva January 2017 (has links)
O setor de serviços tem fundamental importância para a economia global, porém o layout de organizações deste setor tipicamente não é abordado com a mesma intensidade com que se discute arranjo físico em ambientes industriais. O objetivo desta dissertação reside na aplicação de sistemáticas de concepção de layout com vistas ao planejamento e aprimoramento do arranjo físico e agrupamento de recursos de uma biblioteca. Como objetivos específicos, traz a aplicação do planejamento sistemático de layout (SLP) para o posicionamento de recursos e organização dos fluxos de uma biblioteca, e a adaptação do algoritmo Close Neighbor para agrupamento de materiais bibliográficos (livros) em prateleiras de acordo com sua área de abrangência. Para tanto, inicialmente apresentam-se as características da Biblioteca da Faculdade de Farmácia da UFRGS (local de aplicação do estudo), a análise da movimentação de pessoas e de materiais, a abordagem proposta e as diretrizes para organização do arranjo físico da biblioteca e do acervo de livros. Dentre outros procedimentos operacionais, fez-se necessária a realização de reuniões com a equipe da biblioteca e com a direção da Faculdade de Farmácia, visando a estabelecer prioridades e definir características desejadas para o arranjo físico do espaço em estudo. Na sequência, implantou-se a proposta de layout selecionada, seguida de uma discussão acerca do desempenho da biblioteca antes e depois da implantação do novo layout; tal discussão foi baseada tanto em resultados numéricos (análise quantitativa) como na percepção da equipe envolvida (análise qualitativa). / The service sector is of fundamental importance to the global economy, but the layout of organizations in this sector is typically not approached with the same intensity with which physical arrangement is discussed in industrial environments. The objective of this dissertation is to apply layout design systematics with a view to planning and improving the physical arrangement and grouping of library resources. As a specific goal, the application of systematic layout planning (SLP) for the positioning of resources and organization of a library's flows, and the adaptation of the Close Neighbor algorithm for grouping bibliographic materials (books) into shelves according to their area of comprehensiveness. In order to do so, the characteristics of the Library of the Faculty of Pharmacy of UFRGS (place of application of the study), the analysis of the movement of people and materials, the proposed approach and the guidelines for the organization of the physical arrangement of the library and of the collection of books. Among other operational procedures, it was necessary to hold meetings with the library staff and the Faculty of Pharmacy, in order to establish priorities and define desired characteristics for the physical arrangement of the space under study. Next, the selected layout proposal was implanted, followed by a discussion about the library's performance before and after the implementation of the new layout; such a discussion was based on both numerical results (quantitative analysis) and the perception of the team involved (qualitative analysis).

The 'wicked' problem of employability development in HE degree programmes : experiences, understandings and peceptions of lecturers and students

Cui, Fengqiao (Vanessa) January 2014 (has links)
For more than a decade, universities around the world have been placed with great responsibility to develop their students’ employability for political, economic and social reasons. Though many policies, research and practices have tried to address the issues and challenges employability development in HE faces, to date it remains a ‘wicked’ problem for higher education. Through a close up research framework, this study explored and examined the experiences, understandings and perceptions of lecturers, and students from two English Post 92 degree programmes, in an educational discipline, regarding employability and employability development. In order to illuminate some of the critical issues, in an attempt to understand ‘why employability development is so problematic to higher education’, this study took a reflexive phenomenological approach to look at how lecturers and students make sense of employability and employability development, through their own experiences. As well as looking at the two groups separately, it also compared their perceptions and understandings to highlight any dissonances they have, which are crucial to the complex and ‘wicked’ problem of employability development in their programmes. As lecturers and students hold diverse perspectives on employability in HE that is often in conflict, it was expected that there would be no “one size fits all” solution. In addition, this study found that employability has certainly added complexities to higher education. Certainly, it has led the students and lecturers to have complex issues within their roles and identities, in relation to employability development in their programmes and in HE in general. As such, this study reflexively examined those issues, and concludes that although employability development in HE will remain complex and ‘wicked’, through reflexive research and practices, vital issues relating to lecturers’ and students’ roles and responsibilities can be illuminated and solved.

The root resoption and it's relation to the root movement or incisors tipping were considered. Upper and lower incisors of 12 to 25 years old patients, both gender, orthodontically treated with fixed appliance and premolars extraction were evaluated in the present study. The measurement of root resorption was obtained by the differences between root length on periapical radiographs, before and after incisors retraction. Distortion of the radiographic image and incisors tipping change control were controled using the methodology proposed by Linge & Linge (1983). Pre and post incisor retraction lateral cephalometric radiographs were used to establish the relation between root resorption and the tipping of the incisors and vertical, horizontal and total movement of the root apex. Based on the obtained data it was concluded that there is significant root resorption during incisors retraction movement, varing from 1.51 mm to 2.37 mm, and it is not related to the movement of root apex or to the tipping change of these teeth through the bone.

From this location we seek to draw a cartography of musicality spaces. In Natal?s night opened up spaces for action of collective organizers of parties, inviting young people to attend the events present at the festive agenda of Galp?o29. The festivities opened environments, and in their midst, invited the participants to the action. The notion of close, in our thesis, seeks to present the form of relationship between bodies with the environments present in our city. On those parties we could find young people pouring their desires in their own bodies, microphones, announced flyers of events, calls for consideration and participation of performances. We found DJs and bands who composed musical productions and spread it in the costumes, to act on stage. The public were faced with participants acting in the scene by creating their own closes. We questioned the creation of work spaces where momentary freedoms are realized, where the body drunk to music and moves of everyday overcodings of city?s life. The creation of festive plateaus make up micropolitical effects on the city?s scene, through the celebration of life and composition of musicality that are expressed in their minor effects. Then we draw a cartography of close, showing how the creation of spaces and performances take place in Natal?s scene between the flashes captured in the events and how the closes are dragged to other city environments.

La imagen en primer plano: La pasión de Juana de Arco y el poder del rostro / La imagen en primer plano: La pasión de Juana de Arco y el poder del rostro

Alayza Prager, Cristina 10 April 2018 (has links)
Two peculiarities of the film The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl Theodor Dreyer,1928) are explored in this essay: its unusual close-ups and its strongly expressivecharacter. We start from the idea that both characteristics are closely related andwe seek to clarify this relationship making use of Gilles Deleuze’s affection-image and Georges Didi-Huberman’s dialectical image. / Dos particularidades de la película La pasión de Juana de Arco (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1928) son exploradas en este ensayo: sus insólitos primeros planos y sucarácter fuertemente expresivo. Partimos de la idea de que ambas característicasestán íntimamente relacionadas y buscamos esclarecer esta relación sirviéndonos de la imagen-afección de Gilles Deleuze y de la imagen dialéctica de Georges Didi-Huberman.

Metalheads och Moralpanik : En undersökning kring Hårdrockens självpresentation, värde och kulturella etablering genom Close-Up Magazine

Fried, Therese January 2007 (has links)
Uppsatsen granskar det spänningsförhållande som existerar mellan Hårdrockens uttryck och den oinvigda allmänhetens moralpanik. Genom självpresentation och smakdistinktioner undersöker den också hur Hårdrocken idag har positionerat sig som en etablerad kultur med ursprung och tradition. På så sätt behandlar uppsatsen vad och vem som definierar Hårdrockens kulturella värde och position. Undersökningen görs genom en textanalys av den svenska hårdrockstidningen Close-Up Magazine. Uppsatsen granskar även hur tidningen positionerar och presenterar sig som betydande aktör inom Hårdrockens verksamhetsfält.

Stellar Multiplicity Meets Stellar Evolution and Metallicity: The APOGEE View

Badenes, Carles, Mazzola, Christine, Thompson, Todd A., Covey, Kevin, Freeman, Peter E., Walker, Matthew G., Moe, Maxwell, Troup, Nicholas, Nidever, David, Prieto, Carlos Allende, Andrews, Brett, Barbá, Rodolfo H., Beers, Timothy C., Bovy, Jo, Carlberg, Joleen K., Lee, Nathan De, Johnson, Jennifer, Lewis, Hannah, Majewski, Steven R., Pinsonneault, Marc, Sobeck, Jennifer, Stassun, Keivan G., Stringfellow, Guy S., Zasowski, Gail 21 February 2018 (has links)
We use the multi-epoch radial velocities acquired by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey to perform a large-scale statistical study of stellar multiplicity for field stars in the Milky Way, spanning the evolutionary phases between the main sequence (MS) and the red clump. We show that the distribution of maximum radial velocity shifts (Delta RVmax) for APOGEE targets is a strong function of log g, with MS stars showing Delta RVmax as high as similar to 300 km s(-1), and steadily dropping down to similar to 30 km s(-1) for log g similar to 0, as stars climb up the red giant branch (RGB). Red clump stars show a distribution of Delta RVmax values comparable to that of stars at the tip of the RGB, implying they have similar multiplicity characteristics. The observed attrition of high Delta RVmax systems in the RGB is consistent with a lognormal period distribution in the MS and a multiplicity fraction of 0.35, which is truncated at an increasing period as stars become physically larger and undergo mass transfer after Roche Lobe overflow during H-shell burning. The Delta RVmax distributions also show that the multiplicity characteristics of field stars are metallicity-dependent, with metal-poor ([Fe/H] less than or similar to -0.5) stars having a multiplicity fraction a factor of 2-3 higher than metal-rich ([Fe/H] less than or similar to 0.0) stars. This has profound implications for the formation rates of interacting binaries observed by astronomical transient surveys and gravitational wave detectors, as well as the habitability of circumbinary planets.

Dynamical Formation of Close Binaries during the Pre-main-sequence Phase

Moe, Maxwell, Kratter, Kaitlin M. 09 February 2018 (has links)
Solar-type binaries with short orbital periods (P-close equivalent to 1-10. days; a less than or similar to 0.1. au) cannot form directly via fragmentation of molecular clouds or protostellar disks, yet their component masses are highly correlated, suggesting interaction during the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) phase. Moreover, the close binary fraction of pre-MS stars is consistent with that of their MS counterparts in the field (F-close = 2.1%). Thus, we can infer that some migration mechanism operates during the early pre-MS phase (tau less than or similar to 5 Myr) that reshapes the primordial separation distribution. We test the feasibility of this hypothesis by carrying out a population synthesis calculation which accounts for two formation channels: Kozai-Lidov (KL) oscillations and dynamical instability in triple systems. Our models incorporate (1) more realistic initial conditions compared to previous studies, (2) octupole-level effects in the secular evolution, (3) tidal energy dissipation via weak-friction equilibrium tides at small eccentricities and via non-radial dynamical oscillations at large eccentricities, and (4) the larger tidal radius of a pre-MS primary. Given a 15% triple-star fraction, we simulate a close binary fraction from KL oscillations alone of F-close approximate to 0.4% after tau = 5. Myr, which increases to F-close 0.8% by tau = 5. Gyr. Dynamical ejections and disruptions of unstable coplanar triples in the disk produce solitary binaries with slightly longer periods P approximate to 10-100. days. The remaining approximate to 60% of close binaries with outer tertiaries, particularly those in compact coplanar configurations with log P-out (days) approximate to 2-5 (a(out) < 50 au), can be explained only with substantial extra energy dissipation due to interactions with primordial gas.
