Esta pesquisa investiga como os sites de duas instituições museológicas ocupam o Ciberespaço. Objetiva identificar aproximações e distanciamentos entre elas, no que diz respeito à qualidade da informação comunicada e ao entendimento do espaço virtual, enquanto local em potencial para a construção do discurso simbólico sobre Artes. Preocupase igualmente em observar a efetivação do papel do Museu como agente de aproximação e integração entre a sociedade e as demandas geradas pelas novas tecnologias. O Ciberespaço institui um novo tipo de espectador/internauta que se relaciona com os bens culturais de maneira contrária à já sacralizada pelas instituições museológicas surgidas nos séculos passados. A análise dos espaços do MAC Virtual, no Brasil, e da TATE Online, na Inglaterra, mostrou que o projeto virtual terá mais sucesso à medida que evita recriar, no ambiente virtual, o espaço consagrado para a exibição da obra de arte. / This research investigates how the websites of two museological institutions occupy the Cyberspace. Its main goal is of identifying approaches and differences between them regarding the quality of published information and the understanding of the virtual space while place in potential for the development of the symbolic speech about Arts. At the same time it focuses on the consolidation of the Museums role as integration agent between society and the demands generated by new technologies. The Cyberspace creates a new kind of spectator/user that relates itself with the cultural assets in an opposite way to the traditional manner of the museological institutions that were created in the last centuries. Analyzing the website MAC Virtual in Brazil and TATE Online in England, showed that the virtual project will be more successful if it avoids recreating, in the virtual space, the traditional space for displaying the Artworks.

A partir desse processo é que busco as relações poéticas entre os referenciais teóricos e execução poética de uma obra.

O governo eletrônico (e-gov) diz respeito a todas as formas de comunicação realizadas por meio de tecnologia de informação (TI) que podem trazer uma série de benefícios para os órgãos públicos de modo geral. Por se tratar de uma tecnologia recente, existem muitos recursos que podem explorados em benefício tanto do governo quanto dos cidadãos e das empresas que interagem por meio dessa ferramenta. Apesar de apresentar um conjunto considerável de oportunidades, o governo eletrônico e as novas formas de interação pública advinda da utilização da TI podem propiciar algumas ameaças como é o caso de, em vez de melhorar um processo burocrático, apenas utilizar a forma eletrônica para seu acesso e processamento de forma informatizada. Para que, neste contexto, as oportunidades sejam aproveitadas e as ameaças evitadas, este estudo propôs um modelo de análise dos serviços de sites de governo eletrônico. Inicialmente, o modelo foi avaliado por meio da análise de conteúdo de sites de e-gov dos cinco estados com o maior número de sites que, somados, representam 50% dos sites de e-gov nacional que são os estados de São Paulo, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina. Esta primeira análise possibilitou o desenvolvimento de uma matriz SWOT dos sitess analisados e, então, partiu-se para a avaliação do modelo por meio de pesquisas do tipo grupo focado e pesquisa quantitativa por meio de aplicação de questionários focados no site do Poupa Tempo. Os resultados obtidos por meio destas análises foram semelhantes, o que permitiu concluir que o modelo proposto é um instrumento válido para analisar os serviços de sites de e-gov. Outros resultados importantes também foram encontrados, como identificar os atributos que influenciam na satisfação dos usuários de serviços de e-gov. Dentre estes atributos destacaram-se o site fornecer informações de qualidade, oferecer o que era esperado e disponibilizar opções de comunicação que funcionam. / Electronic government (e-gov) refers to all forms of communication conducted through information technology (IT) that can bring several benefits to public bodies in a general form. Being a recent technology, there are many resources that can be exploited for the benefit of government, citizens and businesses that interact via this tool. Despite presenting a considerable range of opportunities, electronic government and new forms of public interaction arising from the use of IT can provide some threats such as instead of improving a bureaucratic process; just use the electronic form for access and processing in a computerized form. In order to have the opportunities to be exploited, in this context, and threats to be avoided, this study proposed a model for analysis of e-government service sites. Initially, the model was evaluated by analyzing the content of e-gov sites for the five states with the largest number of sites which together represent 50% of all national e-government sites, which are the states of São Paulo, Paraná , Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. This first analysis has made it possible the development of a SWOT of the analyzed sites and then the evaluation of the model through focus group and quantitative surveys using questionnaires focused on the site of \"Poupa Tempo\". The results obtained from these analyzes were similar, which made us conclude that the proposed model is a valid tool to analyze the services of e-gov sites. Other important results were also found, such as identifying the attributes that influence user satisfaction of e-government services. Among these attributes stood out the site to provide quality information, to offer what was expected, and to provide communication options that work out.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The economy globalization forced the companies to invest in other forms of management and in technologies that intensify its competitiveness on the market and provide an increasing in the quality and in the cost/benefit of their products and services. In this context, the purpose of this research consists of creating an interactive site about Statistical Process Control (SPC), that could help companies to have theoretical-practical notions of the operation of this tool and of its application. In order to get that, the tools of Statistical Process Control will be used, helping companies to forecast the output trials and, at the same time, increase the quality of its products and services, avoiding scraps and redo. In this way, the concepts and the software used in the analysis, construction and implementation of the interactive site are described. Subsequently, the created tool has been tested and evaluated, by mean a cases. Results obtained revealed that it is efficient, because the graphics generated shown the user a real and concrete vision based on the supplied information for the CEP on-line program. Finally, based on the results, a deeper study regarding some limitations presented by the tool must continue, like the size of the sample and review calculus of limits, which are not performed by the program. / Com a crescente globalização da economia e abertura de novos mercados, as empresas estão sendo impulsionadas a investir em outras formas de gestão e em tecnologias que intensifiquem a sua competitividade no mercado e proporcionem um aumento na qualidade e no custo/benefício de seus produtos e serviços. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste em criar um site1 interativo sobre o Controle Estatístico do Processo (CEP), o qual possa contribuir para que as empresas tenham noções teórico-práticas do funcionamento dessa ferramenta e de sua aplicação. Para tanto, serão utilizadas as ferramentas do Controle Estatístico do Processo (CEP), visando auxiliar as empresas a tornar previsíveis as saídas de seus processos de produção e, ao mesmo tempo, aumentar a qualidade de seus produtos e serviços, evitando o refugo e o retrabalho. Dessa forma, descrevem-se os conceitos e os softwares2 utilizados, na análise, construção e implementação do site interativo. Posteriormente, o aplicativo criado foi testado e avaliado, utilizando-se para isso amostras de estudos de casos. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que é eficiente, uma vez que os gráficos gerados permitem ao usuário uma visão real e concreta baseada nas informações fornecidas ao aplicativo CEP on-line . Finalmente, com base nos resultados, deve-se proceder a um estudo mais aprofundado com relação a algumas limitações que o aplicativo apresenta, tais como o tamanho da amostra, pois se restringe a amostras somente de tamanho constante, e os cálculos dos limites revisados, os quais não são efetuados pelo aplicativo.

Le site de Chellah situé à Rabat au Maroc rassemble des témoignages archéologiques et historiques allant de la période pré punique aux sultans mérinides. Le site n'est actuellement pas mis en valeur voire à l'abandon. Par le biais de ce travail de recherche, une proposition opérationnelle de mise en valeur du site de Chellah à travers la création d'un musée de site est mise en avant. Cette proposition se base sur l'évolution des notions de patrimoine, musées et tourisme dans la période contemporaine à la fois en Europe et au Maroc et sur l'analyse de trois études de cas (Montréal, Saint-Romain en Gal et Saragosse) en mesure de dégager des éléments de réussite quant à la transformation d'un musée de site en vecteur de développement local. Une approche scientifique poussée, combinée à une prise en compte des problématiques économiques, principalement touristiques font figure d'éléments déterminant dans la durabilité des musées de sites. Le musée devient ainsi un outil de développement à caractère interdisciplinaire. Ces facteurs de réussite sont repris dans la proposition de musée de site pour Chellah où l'ensemble du projet muséographique est détaillé tout en prenant en compte les spécificités socio-économiques du Maroc et de Rabat. / The archaeological site of Chellah located in Rabat, Morocco brings together historical and archaeological éléments from the Pre-Punic time untill the Merinid sultans' period. This site is currently not enhanced or even abandonned This research focuses on an operational enhancement of the site of Chellah. This proposal is based on the changing concepts of heritage, museums and tourism in the contemporary period in both Europe and Morocco and on the analysis of three case studies (Montreal, Saint-Romain en Gal and Zaragoza) allowing to identify elements of success in the transformation of a site museum into a vector of local development. A scientific work, combined with a consideration of economie issues mainly related to tourism are key elements in a sustainable approach in terms of a site museums valorization. The museum must also be considered as an interdisciplinary subject. These success factors are included in the site museum project of Chellah but this one also takes into account the specific socio-economic context of Rabat in Morocco.

Les séismes sont connus comme des catastrophes naturelles destructrices et meurtrières. Particulièrement dans les régions montagneuses, les effets des séismes sont encore beaucoup plus aggravés à cause des effets de site topographiques. La présence d'une pente est à l'origine d'une amplification du signal sismique notamment dans le voisinage de la crête. De nombreux séismes anciens tels que le séisme de Lambesc (1909, Ms=6.2) qui a conduit à la destruction du village de Rognes (Bouches-du-Rhône, France), ou plus récemment le séisme d'Athènes en Grèce (1999, Ms=5.9) qui a endommagé la ville d'Adames ainsi que les séismes de Chichi à Taiwan (1999, Mw=7.6), du Salvador (2001, Mw=7.6) et du Sichuan (2008, Mw=7.9) responsables de très nombreux glissements de terrain particulièrement catastrophiques sont des exemples représentatifs. Les investigations post-sismiques ont montré une contribution importante des effets de site topographiques au bilan des dommages humains et matériels. Dans le but d'améliorer les connaissances de ce phénomène, de nombreuses simulations numériques ont été réalisées sur des modèles de versant isolés en utilisant le logiciel FLAC 2D (Itasca). Les résultats obtenus ont été analysés en considérant plusieurs critères comme les facteurs d'amplification, les surfaces et les dimensions des zones d'amplification ainsi que la distribution spatiale de ces zones dans le massif de versant. Des études paramétriques ont permis de mettre en évidence le rôle principal de la fréquence adimensionnelle, rapport de la hauteur du versant à la longueur d'onde du signal sismique, dans l'évaluation des effets de site topographiques. Ces résultats montrent également que la pente est le deuxième paramètre important, suivie du coefficient de Poisson et de la géométrie de la crête et du pied de la pente.Ces résultats numériques ont également permis de définir des relations empiriques, nommées ANS, qui permettent d'estimer les effets de site topographiques selon les différents critères d'interprétation. Ces formules sont adaptées pour les signaux sismiques avec une bande de fréquences prédominantes relativement étroite. Pour les autres cas, la Méthode de Décomposition des ondes (MD) a été développé dans ce travail. Cette méthode est basée sur la décomposition du signal complexe multi-fréquentiel en plusieurs ondes mono-fréquentielles par transformée de Fourier. L'effet du signal complexe est alors évalué en faisant une combinaison des effets individuels de chaque onde élémentaire. Ces approches développées dans ce travail (ANS et MD) permettent d'évaluer les effets de site topographiques, en tenant compte de plusieurs paramètres géomorphologiques et sismiques du massif de versant ainsi que du contenu fréquentiel du signal sismique, sans avoir recours à des simulations numériques. / Earthquakes are known as destructive and murderous natural catastrophe. Particularly in the mountainous regions, the effects of earthquakes are still much aggravated due to the topographic site effects. The presence of a slope causes an amplification of the seismic signal, particularly in the vicinity of the crest. Numerous earthquakes in the past such as the 1909 Lambesc earthquake (Ms=6.2) which led to the destruction of the Rognes village (Bouches-du-Rhône, France), or more recently the 1999 Athens, Greece earthquake (Ms=5.9) which damaged the Adames city as well as the 1999 Chichi, Taiwan earthquake (MW=7.6), the 2001 El Salvador earthquake (MW=7.6) and the 2008 Sichuan earthquake (MW=7.9) responsible for numerous catastrophic landslides are representative examples. Post-seismic investigations demonstrated a significant contribution of topographic site effects on the human and material damage assessment.In order to improve the knowledge of this phenomenon, numerous numerical simulations were performed on the step-like slope models by using the FLAC 2D software (Itasca). The obtained results were analyzed by considering various criteria such as amplification factors, dimensions and area of amplification zones as well as spatial distribution of these zones inside the slope mass. The parametric analyses allow underlining the principal role of the dimensionless frequency, ratio of the slope height to the wavelength of the seismic signal, in the evaluation of topographic site effects. These results also show that the slope angle is the second important parameter, followed by the Poisson's ratio and the geometry of the crest and of the toe of slope.These numerical results allow pointing out empirical equations, called ANS, which can be used to estimate the topographic site effects according to different interpretation criteria. These formulas are suitable for seismic signals with a relatively narrow band of predominant frequencies. For other cases, the method concerning decomposition of seismic incident wave (MD) was developed in this work. This method is based on the decomposition of the complex multi-frequency seismic signal into multiple mono-frequency waves by using Fourier transform. The effect of the complex signal is then evaluated through a combination of the effects of elementary waves. The approaches developed in this work (ANS and MD) allow evaluating the topographic site effects, by taking into account geomorphologic and seismic parameters of the slope as well as the frequency content of the seismic signal, without recourse to numerical simulations.

Despite evidence suggesting that road traffic is a major threat to biodiversity loss, very little is known about its actual impact on wildlife populations in South Africa. Globally, road density and traffic volumes are increasing, and although huge budgets are devoted to the construction and upgrading of roads, there is little or no allocation to mitigation measures for protecting fauna in most countries, particularly Africa. Further, no global standardised protocol exists for the rapid assessment of roadkill or the most economical and efficient approach for assessing roadkill rates. Using vehicle field trials, the reliability of detecting artificially deployed roadkill was assessed. Roadkill detection rates decreased significantly at speeds >50 km/h and were also significantly influenced by light conditions (i.e. detection success was greater when the sun was high) and the position of the roadkill on the road (i.e. smaller roadkill on verges were often missed). These results suggest that roadkill sampling was most effective between 1.5 hours after dawn and 1.5 hours before dusk and that driving at slower speeds (<50 km.h⁻ₑ) was required to detect roadkill. This protocol was implemented across three ecological seasons on a 100 km paved road and a 20 km unpaved road in the Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Driven daily over a 120-day period (three periods consisting each of 40 days), a total of 1,027 roadkill were recorded. These comprised 162 species from all terrestrial vertebrate groups with birds being the most commonly encountered roadkill (50% of all incidents). The high numbers of vertebrates identified as roadkill suggests that road traffic could have potentially unsustainable impacts on wildlife populations and hence the biodiversity of the area. Seventeen variables were identified as possible determinants of roadkill occurrence with season, rainfall, minimum and maximum temperature, habitat type, grass height, grass density, fence type and vehicle type significantly influencing roadkill numbers. Significantly more roadkill were detected on the paved road (9.91/100km) than on the unpaved road (1.8/100km) probably because of greater traffic volumes and the increased speed that vehicles travelled on the paved road. Warmer temperatures and increased rainfall in the preceding 24 hours also increased road mortality numbers as animals tended to become more active during these times. Interestingly, more roadkill was detected in open roadside habitats compared to dense roadside habitats on both the paved and unpaved roads and when grass on the roadside verge was of intermediate height. Open habitat possibly may provide a natural corridor for wildlife which ultimately end up on the road. Roadkill numbers increased when certain other physical barriers, such as cattle fences, were present, probably because these barriers were more penetrable than electric fencing. A series of mitigation measures are proposed to reduce the impacts of roads on wildlife in South Africa. These mitigation measures highlight the need to address the balance between the development of a country’s transport infrastructure and the conservation of its fauna. It is important that research on the impacts of roads becomes standardised to enable robust statistical comparisons which will provide a greater understanding of the potential threats to vertebrate biodiversity
