Formação do Profissional Secretário Executivo na UFC: currículo, competência e cidadania / Executive Secretary Professional Formation at Federal University of Ceará: Syllabus, Competence and Citizenship

BRANDÃO, Márcia Nogueira January 2010 (has links)
Brandão, Márcia Nogueira. Formação do profissional secretário executivo na UFC: currículo, competência e cidadania. 2010. 226f. Tese (Doutorado em Educação) - Universidade Federal do Ceará, Faculdade de Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Brasileira, Fortaleza-CE, 2010. / Submitted by Maria Josineide Góis (josineide@ufc.br) on 2012-07-26T15:47:41Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2010_Tese_MNBrandao.pdf: 858705 bytes, checksum: 9c45d2e6a2905595a3c02cbb8a8f7e7e (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Maria Josineide Góis(josineide@ufc.br) on 2012-07-27T11:56:48Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 2010_Tese_MNBrandao.pdf: 858705 bytes, checksum: 9c45d2e6a2905595a3c02cbb8a8f7e7e (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2012-07-27T11:56:48Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 2010_Tese_MNBrandao.pdf: 858705 bytes, checksum: 9c45d2e6a2905595a3c02cbb8a8f7e7e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Nowadays, a dynamic motion is in all around. It is required, from people and organizations, efforts that bring alternatives for living together with technological changes: both economic and social ones, in all fields of knowledge, specially in Education. So, people who bring up people need to make an upgrade of their educational practices, over and over thinking about institutions syllabus, in order to promote professionals and society development, in general. The secretary, inserted in this context, deserves special attention, for being somebody of extreme importance at the part, suffered prejudices by doing simple and daily activities, known as being typical of feminine universe. This way, the general aim of this research was to investigate how the secretary’s formation has been developed at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), in relation to transformations lived by the contemporaneous society and if this very formation conducts to the construction of an autonomous person. The specific aims were related to describe what would be the demands, in terms of competence and habilities, showed by that secretary that the global work requires, analyzing the concept this professional has about his own role, his autonomy and his performance today. For giving a support to this study, it was turned to the matters about Syllabus, Autonomy, Citizenship, Professional formation, Competences and Habilities, Syllabus Directions, among other ones. As a methodological proceeding, this research was, concerning on its aims, descriptive and also bibliographic, documental and a field one, making use of interview and a questionnaire too, and accomplishing a deep study about the executive secretary’s formation graduated by UFC, permitting a whole and detailed knowledge about him. Admitted and seniors students, as well as professors and former students, besides companies/organizations directors, in short, everywhere existed the post of executive secretary. It was concluded that the professional formation has been directed to the work market and because of this it is quested the autonomous person arising, being this autonomy very restricted, provided that the decision power occurs in the secretary’s area of actuation and he is not a real participant of the strategic decisions. Competences and habilities are related to activities like to advise, administrate the chronology, being a leader, direct, develop support activities for decisions, but also doing traditional tasks as prepare the boss note book and serve coffee. They staff workers, consider themselves important at the organizations, but show they are afraid of loosing the job. It was proved the necessity of students promote the graduation course spreading as well as the professional secretaries to engage in a movement of strengthen of their syndicate, requiring improvements for their professions as autonomy and the citizenship exercising. / Vive-se em um ambiente dinâmico, exigindo-se das pessoas e das organizações esforços no sentido de que percebam alternativas de convivência com as mudanças tecnológicas, econômicas e sociais, inseridas em todas as áreas do conhecimento, mormente na Educação. Assim, educadores necessitam realizar, constantemente, revisões de suas práticas pedagógicas, repensando o currículo das instituições, para promover o desenvolvimento dos profissionais e da sociedade em geral. O secretário, inserido neste contexto, merece atenção especial, por ser um profissional de extrema importância dentro das organizações, mas que, no passado, sofreu preconceitos por desempenhar atividades simples e rotineiras, conhecidas e tidas como sendo típicas do universo feminino. Dessa forma, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi investigar como tem sido desenvolvida a formação do secretário executivo na Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), frente às transformações da sociedade contemporânea, e se a referida formação conduz à construção de um sujeito autônomo. Os objetivos específicos foram descrever quais as demandas, em termos de competências e habilidades do secretário, que o mundo do trabalho requer, analisando a concepção que o profissional tem do seu papel, da sua autonomia e do seu trabalho no mundo contemporâneo. Para dar suporte ao estudo pretendido, recorreu-se aos assuntos sobre Currículo, Autonomia, Cidadania, Formação Profissional, Competências e Habilidades profissionais, Diretrizes Curriculares, entre outros. Como procedimento metodológico, esta pesquisa, quanto aos seus objetivos, é de natureza descritiva e quanto aos procedimentos técnicos adotados para a coleta de dados, bibliográfica, documental e de campo, utilizando-se do questionário e da entrevista; realizou-se ainda estudo profundo acerca da formação do secretário executivo formado pela UFC, de maneira a que permitisse seu amplo e detalhado conhecimento. Os participantes foram os estudantes ingressantes, os concludentes, os professores, os egressos do Curso e os dirigentes de empresas/organizações nas quais houvesse o cargo de secretário executivo. Concluiu-se que a formação profissional tem sido mais direcionada para o mercado de trabalho e, por isso, questiona-se a construção do sujeito autônomo, porque a autonomia é, na verdade, bastante limitada, tendo em vista que o poder de decisão ocorre dentro da área de atuação do secretário, não participando este das decisões estratégicas. As competências e habilidades estão relacionadas com atividades como assessorar, administrar o tempo, liderar, gerir, desenvolver atividades de apoio às decisões, mas ainda são executadas atividades tradicionais: preparar a agenda do chefe e servir cafezinho. Os profissionais cumprem o papel de assessores, consideram-se importantes dentro das organizações, mas demonstram receio de perder o emprego. Constatou-se, ainda, a necessidade de os estudantes promoverem a divulgação do Curso de graduação, bem como de os profissionais secretários se engajarem no fortalecimento do Sindicato da categoria, reivindicando melhorias para o exercício da profissão com autonomia e exercício da cidadania.

O IED, desenvolvido para resolver problemas de otimização não convexa, não diferenciável mas com restrições, utiliza Dualidade Lagrangeana que requer a minimização da função Lagrangeana. A eficiência do IED depende fortemente de tal minimização. Como aplicação, substituímos a rotina fminsearch do Matlab, utilizada originalmente pelo IED, pelo NFDNA. Mostramos através da solução de problemas teste que a performance do IED foi mais eficiente com a utilização do NFDNA. / In this work we study an algorithm for solving unsconstrained, not necessarily convex or differentiable optimization problems called Nonsmooth Feasible Direction Nonconvex Algorithm - NFDNA. We also employ this algorithm as a subroutine of the Interior Epigraph Directions (IED) method. The IED method, devised for solving constrained, nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems uses Lagrangean Duality which requires the minimization of the Lagrangean function. The effectiveness of the IED depends strongly on the Lagrangean function minimization. As an application, we replace the Matlab routine fminsearch, originally used by IED, with NFDNA. We show through the solution of test problems that the IED performance is more efficient by employing NFDNA.

Den röd-gröna regeringens styrning av Polismyndigheten : En studie om regeringens förvaltningsstyrning av Polismyndigheten under mandatperioden 2014- 2018 / The Swedish Government's public management of the Swedish Police Authority

Widell, Oskar January 2018 (has links)
This study describes the Swedish Government's public management of the Swedish Police Authority. It also illustrates some of the Government's political promises towards the Police Authority. The reason for making this study is the situation of escalating shootings in the society and reports about a crisis in the Police Authority. Therefore is the purpose of the study to find out if there are any changes in the Government's public management of the police during the 2014-2018 term of office in relation to this situation. The method is a review of state budgets, appropriation directions, regulations, government bills and other acts which are compared with theories of public management. The results shows that the greatest change this far happened late in the term of office when the Swedish Police Authority received an increased appropriation. The Swedish Police Authority also received new government mandates with the purpose to solve specific problems within the police authority. In relation to theories of public management, the Swedish Government's management of the police focuses on the indirect types of management to reach results within the direct management of laws and regulations.

Contribution à l'estimation de la similarité dans un ensemble de projections tomographiques non-orientées / Contribution in estimation of similarity from a set of tomographic projections taken at unknown directions

Phan, Minh-Son 07 October 2016 (has links)
La cryo-microscopie électronique est une technique tomographique permettant de reconstituer la structure 3D d’un objet complexe en biologie à partir d’un jeu d’acquisitions. Ces images de l’objet complexe sont appelées les projections et sont acquises sous orientations inconnues. Un des avantages de la cryo-microscopie électronique est l’obtention d’un modèle 3D de très haute résolution de l’objet dans un état naturel. La procédure de reconstruction comporte plusieurs étapes telles que l’alignement, la classification des projections, l’estimation de leurs orientations et le raffinement des projections. Lors de ces étapes, la distance entre deux projections est fréquemment mesurée. Le travail réalisé au cours de cette thèse s’organise autour de la recherche théorique d’une distance entre des projections non-orientées avec comme objectif l’amélioration de la procédure de reconstruction tomographique en cryo-microscopie électronique. La contribution de ce travail de thèse est une méthode permettant d’estimer la différence angulaire entre deux projections dans les cas 2D et 3D. Notre méthode est basée sur la construction d’un graphe de voisinage dont les sommets sont les projections, dont les arêtes relient des projections voisines et sont pondérées par une approximation locale de la différence angulaire. Le calcul de ces poids repose sur les propriétés des moments de projection. Notre méthode est testée sur des images simulées de différentes résolutions et de différents niveaux du bruit. La comparaison avec des autres méthodes d’estimation de la différence angulaire est aussi réalisée. / Cryo-electron microscopy is a tomographic technique allowing to reconstruct a 3D model of complex structure in biology from a set of acquired images. These images are known as the tomographic projections and are taken at unknown directions. The advantage of the cryo-electron microscopy is the 3D reconstruction at very high resolution. The reconstruction procedure consists of many steps such as projection alignment, projection classification, orientation estimation and projection refinement. During these steps, the distance between two projections is frequently measured. The work in this thesis aims at studying the distances mesured between two unknown-direction projections with the objective of improving the reconstruction result in the cryo-electron microscopy. The contribution of this thesis is the developement of a method for estimating the angular difference between two projections in 2D and 3D. Our method is based on the construction of a neighborhood graph whose vertices are the projections, whose edges link the projection neighbors and are weighted by a local approximation of the angular difference. The calculation of the weights relies on the projection moment properties. The proposed method has been tested on simulated images with different resolutions and at different noise levels. The comparison with others estimation methods of angular difference has been realised.

Le leadership en milieu minoritaire franco-canadien: l’apport du dispositif VelTIC

Weatherall, Lisa January 2011 (has links)
Depuis les dernières années, la mission des écoles francophones canadiennes a été redéfinie afin de répondre aux besoins de notre société. Les écoles minoritaires franco-canadiennes sont isolées dans leur rôle de promotion du français et de construction identitaire. Il devient essentiel d’avoir des leaders efficaces dans nos écoles qui encouragent la promotion de la langue et de la culture. Certaines études exposent que les TIC peuvent contribuer à sauvegarder des langues et des cultures fragilisées. Parmi les rares dispositifs trouvés pour appuyer les directions d’école dans leurs tâches, nous avons trouvé la ressource hypermédia VelTIC. Or, aucune étude n’a été menée sur l’évaluation de ce dispositif quant à son potentiel pour aider les directions d’école. Le but de la présente recherche consiste donc à identifier la perception des leaders pédagogiques quant aux pratiques recensées dans la ressource VelTIC , à savoir si elles permettent d’aider ces derniers à assumer un leadership approprié quant à la promotion du français et la construction identitaire dans l’école. Les résultats indiquent que les leaders pédagogiques perçoivent les pratiques recensées dans la ressource VelTIC utiles pour les aider à assumer un leadership éducationnel en milieux linguistiques minoritaires (Lapointe, 2002) et un leadership lié au patrimoine (Godin, Lapointe, Langlois et St-Germain, 2004).

Le geste dramatique dans le théâtre d'Euripide : étude stylistique et dramaturgique / Dramatic gestures in Euripides' theatre : a stylistic and dramaturgic study

Marchal-Louët, Isabelle 08 October 2011 (has links)
L'étude du geste dramatique dans le théâtre d'Euripide s'attache principalement à la dimension verbale du geste théâtral. Elle n'envisage pas seulement les mots qui disent le geste comme un moyen de reconstituer le geste de l'acteur mais cherche à éclairer grâce à eux l'art dramaturgique du poète. Une première partie est consacrée à l'étude stylistique des énoncés regroupés en « motifs gestuels » et montre l'importance des gestes pathétiques de la filiav dans les tragédies d'Euripide. Dans une seconde partie, une analyse comparée de gestes dans des séquences parallèles chez les trois grands Tragiques permet de mesurer les variations du rapport entre parole poétique et spectacle dramatique d'un poète à l'autre, afin de mettre en lumière la spécificité de l'expression euripidéenne du geste et le renouvellement du pathétiquedans son théâtre. Y sont interrogées les conséquences qu'ont pu avoir sur l'écriture du geste les modifications de la pratique théâtrale au cours du ve siècle avant J.-C., l'évolution des tendances artistiques et le poids de la sensibilité personnelle et de la vision tragique de chaque poète. Dans la troisième partie sont examinées les expérimentations théâtrales auxquelles s'est livré Euripide autour de l'expression du geste, notamment dans ses dernières pièces, et quiremettent en question la nature du tragique. / This study focuses on gestures as indicated by the words in Euripides' tragedies. Words are not only here a means to reconstruct the actor's gesture on stage, but are analysed in order to enlighten the specificity of the poet's dramatic art. The first chapter presents a stylistic study of the gesture formulas, grouped according to « gestural patterns », and reveals theimportance of the pathetic gestures of filiav in Euripides' theatre. In the second chapter, the comparison of gestures in parallel scenes by the three Tragic dramatists sheds light on the differences between them in the relationship between dramatic text and stage action and on the novelty of Euripidean gestural expression and pathos. This comparison is linked to the evolution of tragic performance in the fifth century, to the evolution of artistic tendencies and to the poet's own sensibility. The third chapter is an analysis of Euripides' theatrical experiments involving dramatic gestures, especially in his late plays, and leads to a new definition of the tragic nature of Euripidean theater.

Agency costs of debt : En studie över bolagsstrukturens påverkan på företagens räntekostnad vid extern skuldfinansiering / Agency costs of debt : A study of the impact of the corporate governance structure on interest rates for external debt financing

Karlsson, Viktor, Malmgren, Fredrik January 2020 (has links)
Bakgrund: Privata företag förväntas ha färre finansieringsmöjligheter än publika börsnoterade företag, vilket gör privata företag mer begränsade till extern skuldfinansiering från kreditinstitut. Kostnaden för den externa skuldfinansieringen påverkas av kreditgivarens riskbedömning och det kontrollbehov som bland annat uppstår på grund av agentkonflikten mellan långivare och låntagare. Vi ämnar därför undersöka hur ägaren och ägarens val av styrelse och extern revisor kan reducera agentkonflikten och därmed reducera företagens räntekostnader vid extern skuldfinansiering. Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka huruvida ägarkoncentrationen samt ägarens val av styrelse och extern revisor påverkar företagens externa räntekostnader i privata svenska aktiebolag. Metod: Studiens ansats är av deduktiv art utifrån en tvärsnittsdesign. Studien utgår från en kvantitativ metod för att testa studiens hypoteser utifrån ett urval av medelstora privata svenska aktiebolag. Resultat: Ägarkoncentrationen, styrelsens storlek samt styrelsens oberoende har ingen signifikant påverkan på räntekostnaden. Däremot visar resultaten i studien att det finns ett signifikant negativt samband mellan räntekostnaden och valet att utse en extern revisor från Big4. / Background: Private companies are expected to have fewer funding opportunities than public listed companies, which makes private companies more dependent on external debt financing from credit institutions. The cost of the external debt financing is affected by the lenders risk assessment and the need for control that naturally appears because of the agency conflict between lenders and borrowers. We aim to examine how the owner and the owner’s choice of board of directors and external auditor can reduce the agency conflict and thus reduce the companies interest costs in external debt financing. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate if the owner concentration as well as the owner’s choice of board composition and external auditor, affects the external interest costs of private Swedish limited companies. Method: The study’s approach is deductive in nature and based on a cross sectional design. The study is based on a quantitative method for testing the hypotheses, based on selection of medium-sized private Swedish limited companies. Conclusions: The ownership concentration, the board size and the board independence have no significant influence on the interest rate. The study does however show a significant negative correlation between the interest rate and the choice to appoint an external auditor from one of the Big4.

Sociala åtagande vid uppförandet av nyproducerat bostadsområde : i samarbete med Derome / Social commitment in the construction of newly produced residential area : in collaboration with Derome

Trulsson, Patricia January 2020 (has links)
Alla kommuner och städer i Sverige måste börja arbeta mot en hållbar stadsutveckling för att bland annat lösa problemen med den bostadsbrist som råder men också för att skapa platser för befolkningen att trivas i. Regeringens ambition om den hållbara stadsutvecklingen är att Sveriges kommuner och städer ska bli mer gröna, hälsosamma, inkluderande och klimatsmarta. Kommunerna har planmonopol som styr den fysiska planeringen och därigenom styr även hur bostadsbyggandet ska gå till, till exempel genom kommunala markanvisningar där kommunen ställer krav på hur byggnationen av en markbit får gå till. Kraven omfattar hållbarhetens tre dimensioner där fokus tenderar till att ligga mer på den ekologiska och ekonomiska hållbarheten. Dock börjar allt fler kommuner ställa mer krav på sociala åtagande vid kommunala markanvisningar och vid uppförandet av nyproducerade bostadsområden. Den här studien är i samarbete med Derome och utgår därmed utifrån Derome som exploatör vid kommunala markanvisningar. Studien ska svara mot den problematik som Derome upplever i deras arbete med sociala åtagande vid bland annat kommunala markanvisningar. Studien utgår därmed från markanvisningsprocessen där Derome är exploatör. Studien ska ge en ökad kunskap om vad social hållbarhet är och hur det kopplas samman med byggandet av ett nytt bostadsområde. Målet är att ta reda på hur Derome arbetar med sociala åtagande idag (2020), vad för krav som en kommun ställer på sociala åtagande och hur en arkitekt arbetar med socialt hållbara bostadsområden. Studien tar även upp hur samarbetet mellan de olika aktörerna ser ut vid kommunala markanvisningar. Studien är inspirerat av en intressentdialog enligt GRI som har genomförts med Deromes interna respektive externa intressenter i form av intervjuer. Studien utgår även från hållbarhetsredovisningens sociala åtagande och ett företags samhällsansvar, CSR. Deromes problematik framgår tydligt i studien där Derome har behövt en plan och hjälp med att komma loss i deras arbete med sociala åtagande vid uppförandet av nyproducerade bostadsområden. Resultatet är svaret mot problematiken som tydliggörs i förslaget vilket kommer att kunna fungera som en vägledning i Deromes arbete framöver. Förslaget har bland annat tagit fram hur ett socialt hållbart bostadsområde definieras och det är genom: att möta livets olika faser, skapa en blandning, skapa trygga och säkra boendemiljöer, skapa attraktiva platser där människor möter varandra, skapa en tillgänglig och stark mobilitet, främja fysisk aktivitet, ta tillvara på kulturvärden och vara ett område där alla ha råd att bo i. Det framkommer även tydligt att Derome behöver skapa förutsättningar för social hållbarhet i sina bostadsområden redan tidigt i planeringsprocessen, innan och/ eller under detaljplaneringen. Det är dock viktigt att understryka vikten av att ett bostadsområde aldrigiiblir socialt hållbart om inte den sociala närvaron tas i beaktning i förvaltningen och under dess livslängd. / All municipalities and cities in Sweden must start working towards sustainable urban development in order to, among other things, come to terms with the housing shortage prevailing but also to create places for the population to thrive in. The government's ambition for sustainable urban development is that Sweden's municipalities and cities should become more greener, healthier, inclusive and climate smart. The municipality has a planning monopoly that controls the physical planning and thereby also controls how housing construction should go. Therefore, the municipality makes demands on how the construction of a piece of land may go. The requirements cover the three dimensions of sustainability where the focus tends to be more on ecological and economic sustainability. However, the municipality is beginning to make more and more demands on social commitments in the construction of newly produced residential areas. This study is in collaboration with Derome and is therefore based on Derome as an operator for municipal land directions. The study will answer the problems that Derome experiences in their work with social commitment at municipal land directions. The work is based on the land allocation process where Derome is an operator. The study will provide an increased knowledge of what social sustainability is and how it is linked to the construction of a new residential area. The goal is to find out how Derome works with social commitments today (2020), what requirements a municipality places on social commitments and how an architect works with socially sustainable housing areas. The study also addresses how the cooperation between the various actors looks at municipal land directions. The study is inspired by a GRI stakeholder dialogue conducted with Derome's internal and external stakeholders, respectively. The study also starts from the sustainability report's social commitment and a corporate social responsibility, CSR. Derome's problems are clear in the study where Derome has the need for a plan and help to get rid of their work with social commitment in the construction of newly produced residential areas. The result is the answer to the problem that is clarified in the proposal, which will serve as a guide in Derome's work going forward. The proposal has, among other things, developed how a socially sustainable housing area is defined and it is through: meeting life's different phases, mixing, security, meeting places, mobility, promoting physical activity, cultural values and that everyone should be able to afford to live in the area. It also emerges that Derome needs to create conditions for social sustainability in its residential areas early in the planning process, before and/ or during the detailed planning. However, it is important to emphasize the importance of a residential area never being socially sustainable unless the social presence is taken into account in the administration and during its life.

The Effect of Video Self-Modeling on the Compliance Rates of High School Students with Developmental Disabilities

Figueira, Jacob Ammon Aukai 19 July 2007 (has links) (PDF)
People with developmental disabilities must develop the ability to maintain socially acceptable behavior in order to become contributing, accepted members of society at large. Research indicates that compliance, or following directions, is a keystone behavior, which, if learned, may significantly decrease the occurrence of behavior difficulties in students. Many studies of individuals with disabilities have shown a dramatic increase across a wide range of academic and social skills using video self-modeling (VSM), a technique in which students watch edited videos of themselves performing skills correctly or at high rates. Despite the importance of compliance for individuals with disabilities and the success of video self-modeling, little research has been done regarding the effect of VSM on compliance. In addition, VSM has been used mainly with elementary school-age students. This multiple baseline study examined the effect of video self-modeling on the rates of compliance in three high school-age students with developmental disabilities. Participants' compliancy rates increased after implementing video self-modeling. Mean latency to compliance also decreased for all participants. Study results indicate that video self-modeling may be an effective method for increasing compliance and decreasing compliance latency in high school students with developmental disabilities.
