Depuis les années 1970, les espaces publics des métropoles contemporaines sont devenus d’importants enjeux pour les pouvoirs publics municipaux soucieux de leur attractivité comme pour certains habitants attachés à leur cadre de vie. Les discours qui accompagnent cette valorisation insistent sur la qualité urbaine, mais la production d’espaces sûrs et conviviaux induit également des processus d’exclusion ou d’altérisation. La multiplicité des figures de la menace est alimentée par la diffusion de discours sécuritaires qui érigent certains groupes en symboles de la dégradation des espaces. Ce réinvestissement de l’espace public à la fois sur le plan sémantique et matériel se traduit donc par différentes mesures visant à mieux contrôler ses usages et son image.Ma recherche s’appuie sur trois études de cas à Paris : le mobilier urbain, le système d’accréditation des musiciens dans le métro et les patrouilles de correspondants de nuit. Ces dispositifs de gestion de l’indésirabilité donnent aux producteurs et gestionnaires d’espaces publics la possibilité d’assurer une mise en ordre du social par une mise en ordre du spatial. Leur analyse me permet de cerner différentes figures d’indésirables et les registres de justification déployés par les acteurs institutionnels ou certains entrepreneurs de morale pour défendre des hiérarchies dans les droits d’usage des espaces publics. L’indésirabilité étant une construction sociale et culturelle, mon objectif a été de dénaturaliser ces catégorisations dominantes pour mettre à jour des rapports de pouvoir asymétriques et montrer comment ils se matérialisent dans la production et la régulation des espaces publics / Since the 70’s the public spaces of the contemporary metropolis have become important issues for municipal authorities concerned with their attractiveness as well as for some inhabitants who feel committed to their environment. Speeches surrounding such valorization insist on urban quality, but the production of safe and user-friendly spaces also implies processes of exclusion or alterization. The large number of threat figures is sustained by the diffusion of security discourses that make some groups into symbols of urban decay. Such reinvestment of public space on both the semantic and material level is therefore translated into different measures aiming at better controlling its uses and its image.My research relies on three case studies in Paris: urban furniture, licensing of some subway musicians, and the city’s security patrol services. These devices used for managing the undesirables allow the producers and managers of public spaces to put in order the social by putting in order the spatial. Analyzing these devices gives me the means for discerning different figures of undesirable people and records of justification enacted by institutional agencies or moral entrepreneurs in order to defend hierarchies in the rights of using public spaces. As undesirability is a social and cultural construction, I focused on denaturalizing these dominant categorizations, in order to highlight asymmetrical power relations and to show how they materialize in the production and the regulation of public spaces

As consequências geradas devido a constante deterioração do meio ambiente evidenciam a escassez de recursos naturais existentes no planeta. Desse modo, as organizações e a sociedade como um todo devem considerar os aspectos ambientais em suas ações. Em relação às organizações, estas além de cumprirem os requisitos legais de preservação do meio ambiente, devem incluir a gestão ambiental em suas estratégias organizacionais, uma vez que se tornou indispensável para investidores, bancos e seguradoras e para clientes e fornecedores. Assim, a incorporação de programas voltados à sustentabilidade nas estratégias das empresas contribui para que haja um equilíbrio entre o crescimento econômico e a utilização dos recursos naturais. Nesse contexto, o objetivo dessa dissertação foi analisar se a gestão ambiental pode ser considerada como capacidade estratégica, contribuindo positivamente para o desempenho das empresas fabricantes pertencentes ao Arranjo Produtivo Local Moveleiro da Serra Gaúcha (APLMSG). A pesquisa proposta foi de natureza aplicada, descritiva e quantitativa com utilização do método de pesquisa survey e uso de técnicas estatísticas descritivas, uni e multivariada, para análise de dados. Foram coletados dados de 162 empresas. Os resultados sugerem que a gestão ambiental pode ser considerada como uma capacidade estratégica para as empresas fabricantes de móveis pertencentes ao APLMSG, uma vez que as práticas de gestão ambiental possuem relação significativa com o desempenho organizacional. Contudo, percebe-se que muitas empresas ainda realizam práticas ambientais de maneira não certificada devido aos baixos índices de utilização de sistema de gestão ambiental (SGA), ISO 9.001 e ISO 14.001. / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, CAPES. / The consequences of constant environment deterioration are showing the lack of natural resources available on the planet. Because of this, organizations and society in general must consider environmental aspects in their actions. Regarding the organizations, besides meeting all legal requirements for preserving the environment, they should include environmental management in their organizational strategies since it has become essential for investor, banks and insurance companies and also for customers and suppliers. Thus, incorporating programs aimed at sustainability into companies’ strategies helps to bring a balance in between economic growth and the use of natural resources. In this context, the aim of this paper was to analyze if environmental management could be considered as a strategic capacity, contributing positively to the performance of companies’ members of the Local Productive Furniture Arrangement from Serra Gaucha (APLMSG). The proposed research was of an applied nature, descriptive and quantitative using the survey research method and use of univariate and multivariate descriptive statistical techniques for data analysis. 162 companies’ data were collected. The results suggest that environmental management can be considered as a strategic capacity for furniture manufacturing companies’ members of the APLMSG since environmental management practices are significantly related to organizational performance. However, it is noticed that many companies still don’t perform environmental practices in a non-certified way due to low rates of usage of environmental management system (SGA), ISO 9.001 e ISO 14.001.

A situação é agravada ao considerar o fato das ambulâncias se locomoverem em altas velocidades e necessitarem frequentemente reduzi-las de modo abrupto. Neste cenário, buscou-se projetar, construir e testar um protótipo de maca com um sistema de retenção eficaz para transportes emergenciais de crianças. O diferencial do projeto em relação às outras macas infantis, existentes no mercado internacional, está na versatilidade de realizar transportes tanto em ambulâncias quanto em áreas de resgate de difícil acesso veicular. O projeto de maca infantil possibilita atender uma ampla gama de pacientes de pequeno porte desde crianças na faixa etária de 1 (um) ano até 10 (dez) anos de idade. Trata-se de uma maca desenvolvida para rápido manuseio e armazenagem por ser dobrável e de fácil instalação sobre qualquer maca de adulto normatizada pela ABNT. O principal fator de segurança está vinculado ao sistema de retenção regulável, com facilidade de rápida fixação e remoção da criança. Foram realizados testes de impacto, com velocidade aproximada de 18 (dezoito) km/h, utilizando a maca de adulto e a maca infantil. O manequim com massa de 22 kg, representativo de uma criança de 6 (seis) anos de idade, foi instalado nas posições sentado e deitado. Os dados coletados, via um programa computacional Kinovea adequado para análise de biomecânica, permitiram estimar o deslocamento do manequim com grande precisão. Utilizou-se um aplicativo instalado em um celular com sistema operacional Android para registrar as desacelerações ocorridas no momento do impacto. A maca infantil apresentou uma retenção significativamente superior à obtida com a maca de adulto, tanto no deslocamento da cabeça quanto do tronco do manequim. Na posição deitado, o manequim chegou a ser ejetado para fora da maca, o que nunca ocorreu utilizando a maca infantil. Os testes realizados com o protótipo da maca validaram o projeto e a solução construtiva que estão vinculados a uma patente a ser depositada no Brasil / Abstract: In transportation, for ambulances, children are exposed to fatal risks by transported in adult gurneys that are not adapted to child anthropometry. The situation is escalated when considering the fact that the ambulances move up in high speeds and with frequently need to reduce abruptly velocity. In this field, we tried to design, build and test a prototype gurney with an effective restraint system for emergency transport children. The differential of the project regards to other children gurneys that exist in the international market; its versatility to perform both transport in ambulances and possible land rescue. Child gurney enables a wide range of small patients from children with one (1) until ten (10) years old, designed for fast handling and storage by be foldable and easy to install on any adult gurney standardized by ABNT. The main safety factor is linked to the adjustable retention system with facility for rapid attachment and the child's removal. Impact tests were performed, with an approximate speed of 18 (twenty) km / h, using the adult gurney and child gurney. The dummy with mass 22 kg, representing a child with 6 (six) years old, was installed in sitting and lying positions. Data collected via a computer program Kinovea suitable for biomechanical analysis, allowed to estimate displacement of the dummy with great precision. It was used a smartphone based on Android operational system to register decelerations occurred on impact. Child gurney had a higher retention regarding to adult gurney both the displacement of the head when the dummy torso restraint. In two teste with lying position, the dummy was ejected out of the gurney, fact that had never happened with child gurney. Tests conducted with the prototype gurney validated the project and the constructive solution that are bind to a patent to will be implanted in Brazil / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

This study aims to analyze the current condition of the Local Productive Arrangement of the furniture sector in the city of Rio Verde (GO). The methodology used in this research is bibliographical, documentary and field, with a qualitative approach. The study was conducted in two stages; primarily a document search which analyzed documents of the Associação dos Fabricantes de Móveis de Rio Verde (AFAMORV), when it was revealed the origin of the project which resulted in APL, and then came the field research as a tool which had a semi structured interview script.The data collected in documentary research were presented in order to show the current condition of the Local Productive Arrangement, and the interviews were analyzed through categorization by content analysis. The president and the fifteen members of the furniture center of the Associação dos Fabricantes de Móveis de Rio Verde (AFAMORV) were interviewed. The study is justified by checking the variables that guide, through literature, the composition of the APL and the union of the companies, which will realize the form of associations, and competitive advantages. The study also highlights the potential of the city of Rio Verde (GO) in the furniture sector, and encourages future studies to promote growth and development of the Region. The results show that daily practice of business owners do not follow the history of APL, because the lack of support from the State and the City makes the development of the Local Productive Arrangement harder. For there to be integration between theory and practice it is possible that with a larger time-management dialogue with more excellence among management and business occurs. / Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar a atual condição do Arranjo Produtivo Local do setor moveleiro da cidade de Rio Verde (GO). A metodologia empregada nesta pesquisa é bibliográfica, documental e de campo,com abordagem qualitativa. O estudo foi realizado em duas etapas; primeiramente ocorreu uma investigação documental em que se analisaram documentos da Associação dos Fabricantes de Móveis (AFAMORV), identificando a origem do projeto que resultou em APL, e na segunda etapa, foi realizada à pesquisa de campo que teve como instrumento um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. Os dados coletados na pesquisa documental foram aprestados de forma a evidenciar a atual condição do Arranjo Produtivo Local, e as entrevistas foram analisadas por meio de categorização, por análise de conteúdo. Foram entrevistados o presidente e os 15associados do polo moveleiro da Associação dos Fabricantes de Móveis de Rio Verde (AFAMORV).O estudo se justifica por verificar, por meio da literatura, as variáveis que norteiam a composição do APL e a união das empresas, que passam a perceber a forma do associativismo, e as vantagens competitivas. O estudo destaca, também, potencialidades da cidade de Rio Verde (GO) no setor moveleiro, e incentiva estudos futuros para promoção de políticas de crescimento e desenvolvimento da Região. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que a prática cotidiana dos empresários não segue o histórico do APL, visto que a falta de apoio por parte do Estado e do Município dificulta o desenvolvimento do Arranjo Produtivo Local. Para que haja a integração entre teoria e prática é possível que com um tempo maior de gestão ocorra um diálogo com mais excelência entre gestão e empresários.

Målet med det här examensarbetet är att utforska hur jag som möbelsnickare kan använda mig av dekorativa element. Dessutom vill jag söka svar på frågan om hur utvecklingen mot den minimalistiska estetik vi ser idag sett ut och vad den fått för konsekvenser. Undersökningen görs i form av en litteraturstudie där jag tar avstamp i ett källmaterial och diskuterar dekorativa element från flera perspektiv. Litteraturstudien innehåller bland annat en analys av dekorationer ur ett genusperspektiv, en undersökning av begreppet smak samt en reflektion kring hur ornamentik påverkar ett föremåls estetiska hållbarhet. Vidare använder jag mina hantverkskunskaper till att undersöka ämnet genom en fysisk gestaltning. I min gestaltning låter jag det avskalade i dealet representeras av ett bord från IKEA och genom att dekorera det med intarsia möts det minimalistiska med ett mer expressivt uttryckssätt. Min slutsats är att dekorativa element ger en större möjlighet för känslomässig anknytning till ett objekt och att vi hantverkare har chansen att tillfredsställa detta behov. Diskussionen om dekorationers vara eller icke vara är angelägen och bör fortsätta föras och nyanseras inomformgivnings- och hantverkssfären. / The aim of this thesis is to investigate how, in my role a a craftsman, I can use decorativeelements in my work. Furthermore, I seek to answer the question about how the development towards today’s minimalist aesthetics has evolved and what the consequences of this has been. This examination consists of a literature study where I use different sources to discuss decorative elements from a range of perspectives. The study includes an analysis of decoration from a gender perspective, an investigation on the term taste and a discussion on how ornamentation influences the aesthetic s ustainability of an object. Moreover, I use my craftsmanship skills to examine the subject through designing and constructing a physical object. In my design process, I merge the minimalistic ideal as represented by an IKEA table with a decorative element in the form of marquetry. My conclusion is that decorative elements have the possibility to enable emotional connection with an object and a s craftsmenhave the opportunity to satisfy this need. The discussion about the existence of ornamentationis important and should keep being held in the design and craft community.

Detta kandidatarbete placerar pedagogiska grepp och tekniska hjälpmedel i centrum och arbetar för att kartlägga vilka delar som är relevanta idag, vilka som har använts historiskt och hur trenderna för framtiden ser ut. Rapporten utgör en del av ett större projekt som syftar till att skapa ett möbelkoncept anpassat för framtida universitet i Sverige, där hybridinlärning – växlandet mellan analogt och digitalt lärande – presenteras som en viktig post. Därmed avgränsas kandidatarbetet till att undersöka tekniken och pedagogiken i en universitetsmiljö, medan den rådande trenden att studenter i hög grad använder medhavd teknik är en faktor som breddar undersökningarna till teknikexperter och renodlade utblickar mot relevanta digitala verktyg. Bakom resultatet står en djuplodande användar- och expertstudie bestående av semistrukturerade intervjuer, som medför att de väl insatta intervjupersonerna har möjlighet att formulera svar med viss frihet och därmed bidra till en bred förståelse för befintlig problematik och behov. Dessa intervjuer spelas in och sammanfattas, för att sedan analyseras och sammanställas till genomgående och koncentrerade teman. Genom stöd från aktuell litteratur och tidigare forskning följs materialet och dessa teman upp för en mer välgrundad bild.  Arbetet resulterar i de tre delarna som är framtidstrender för lärande och universitetsmiljöer, tekniska lösningar som idag kan lösa problem och främja en bättre lärmiljö, samt designprinciper för hur möbler bör utformas. Sistnämnda är av särskild vikt för det större projektet, men i likhet med projektets avgränsningar avser principerna främst de tekniska och pedagogiska inslagen hos möbler. Kandidatarbetet inleddes med en öppen inställning och tunna kunskaper om teknik och pedagogik, men intervjupersonernas gedigna erfarenheter och tillhörande litteratur slår fast att området är mycket stort och därav krävs också att arbetets omfattning är i linje med detta. Kopplingarna mellan klassrumsmöbler, framtidstrender, tekniska lösningar och pedagogiska grepp är många och en undersökning riskerar att bli alltför trångsynt och intetsägande med kraftiga avgränsningar. Med anledning av detta anser rapportförfattarna att arbetet har en rimlig omfattning, som inte skär bort viktiga insikter i strävan efter ett mer lättsmält resultat. Området är stort och komplext, vilket det också måste tillåtas vara. Kandidatarbetets slutgiltiga designprinciper täcker kortfattat hur designa för en pedagogisk miljö, en tillåtande studieplats och för hållbar teknikanvändning. Framtidstrenderna pekar mot att lärandet flyttar ut från klassrummet, att medhavd elektronik blir standard, att lärmiljön blir mer hållbar, att analogt och digitalt lärande används vid rätt tillfälle och att samarbete hamnar i fokus. Sistnämnda är en av kandidatarbetets viktigaste slutsatser, som återkommer i såväl designprinciper som de möjliga tekniklösningarna. Rapportförfattarna tror att de tre delarna av resultatet kan användas även utanför projektet, i designprocesser för möbler avsedda en skolmiljö där ett hänsynstagande till kommande pedagogiska grepp och teknikanvändning krävs. / This bachelor’s report orbits around pedagogical methods and technological aids, to explore the parts of relevance for today, historical use and probable trends for the future. The work is one component of a larger project with the goal to design a furniture concept suited for future universities of Sweden, with hybrid learning – a seamless transition between digital and analogue learning – presented as one central concept. Therefore, this report is limited to examine the technological and pedagogical sides of the University environment, while ongoing trends as students using private digital tools at the same time expands the scope towards experts in the domain of digital tools, accompanying outlooks focused strictly on the tools. The foundation of the result of this study is composed of deep dives in user experiences and knowledge of experts, via semi-structured interviews, where the knowledgeable interviewees get space to respond in a more free and elaborate way, to create a better understanding of needs and difficulties. Summaries of the interviews based on recordings made with consent, are further analyzed to find common themes. Study of current literature and recent research is used to follow through with the themes and to create a clearer picture. Trends for the future of universities and learning, technological solutions for problems of today and a better learning environment, and principles for furniture creation, are the three branches of the result of the study. The principles are of great importance to the larger project mentioned. However, the principles do not cover furniture design in full, but instead the limited part of technology and pedagogics.  When initialized, the bachelor’s project group headed towards the fields of pedagogics and technology with very little knowledge and an open mind. The valuable experience from interviewees and literature state the substantial magnitude of the field, and the authors therefore decided to reflect reality with a thorough report. The links between classroom furniture, trends of the future, technological solutions and pedagogical methods are plenty and focus on a small portion is risking too narrow boundaries and poor results with no new insights. A larger scope is therefore a better solution than a compressed or slimmed down version of the subject, with a result that might be easier to understand. This field is large and complex, and it might be best that way. The aforementioned principles in short cover how to design for a pedagogical environment, an allowing place for learning and lastly how to design for sustainable use of technology. The trends for the future point towards education leaving the classrooms, students bringing their own digital tools to a larger extent, a more sustainable transformation of the learning environment, a better knowledge of when to use analogue and digital solutions, and cooperation in the center of operations. The latter is one of the most important findings, as it is repeated in the design principles and tool suggestions, and the authors believe the three components can be utilized in further design projects where a school environment and the future of pedagogics and technology are parts of the equation. / Pedagogiska möbler
