The individual and managerial skills through the years has been studied and debated by relating it to the development of individuals. And, among the findings of these studies, realizes that the theoretical claim that skills can go through a development process for a teaching and learning in management training course. Therefore, the present research focused on the development process of the eight competencies, namely - systemic vision, teamwork, personal and professional relationship, willingness to change, learning and self-development, systematization and analysis of information and knowledge, and oral and written expression that are able to be learned in order of this modality. Followed up so 113 students divided into groups of 10 distinct programs semesters of the institution. Thus, it is necessary a longitudinal approach, which generates a data triagulation, so the participating classes research undergo two interventions through a survey for the period of at least 5 months and also 18 students participate in semi-structured interviews. The results demonstrate that there is development of some of these skills during the course and also shows the importance of teaching and learning in the classroom as an essential for the development students and their skills. Keywords: individual and managerial skills, lato sensu, learning and development. / Em um mercado de trabalho t?o competitivo e din?mico um curso de forma??o gerencial lato sensu tem sido uma das formas onde o indiv?duo tem buscado uma melhor capacita??o para enfrentar as realidades e desafios que o mundo apresenta. As compet?ncias individuais e gerenciais atrav?s dos anos t?m sido estudadas e debatidas. Relacionando as compet?ncias com o desenvolvimento dos indiv?duos. E dentre os achados desses estudos, percebe-se que os te?ricos afirmam que as compet?ncias podem passar por um desenvolvimento durante um o processo de ensino e aprendizagem em curso de forma??o gerencial. Assim, a presente pesquisa acompanhou o processo de desenvolvimento de oito compet?ncias a sabe - vis?o sist?mica, trabalho em equipe, relacionamento pessoal e profissional, disposi??o ? mudan?as, aprendizagem e autodesenvolvimento, sistematiza??o e an?lise de informa??es e conhecimentos e express?o oral e escrita que s?o pass?veis de aprendizagem em cursos dessa modalidade. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida nos programas de forma??o gerencial em administra??o da Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica do Rio Grande do Sul PUCRS. Foram acompanhados 113 alunos distribu?dos em turmas dez programas de semestres distintos da institui??o. Houve uma abordagem longitudinal que gerou uma triangula??o de dados, assim as turmas participantes da pesquisa passaram por duas interven??es atrav?s de uma survey durante o prazo de no m?nimo 5 meses e ainda 18 alunos participaram de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados demonstram que existe o desenvolvimento de algumas dessas compet?ncias durante o processo de curso e ainda apresenta a import?ncia do ensino e aprendizagem em sala de aula como um fator essencial para o desenvolvimento do aluno e de suas compet?ncias.

A geração de expressão de referência (GER) é um dos principais componentes de aplicações de geração de língua natural a partir de dados não linguísticos. Trabalhos existentes nesta área tendem a se concentrar em domínios bidimensionais e tridimensionais simples. Domínios mais realistas, entretanto, ainda são pouco explorados pela literatura, possivelmente pela dificuldade em produzir modelos computacionais com o grau de complexidade exigido. O recente surgimento de aplicações baseadas em ambientes interativos tridimensionais, todavia, oferece uma ampla gama de oportunidades de pesquisa em GER. Nesse trabalho apresentamos um algoritmo de GER para seleção de atributos espaciais em ambientes interativos tridimensionais do tipo GIVE. A solução proposta é uma extensão de um algoritmo de GER tradicional que utiliza relações espaciais combinado com conhecimento linguístico extraído de corpora e modelos computacionais de referência espacial. Essa solução foi avaliada de forma intrínseca no domínio de instruções em mundos virtuais. / Referring expressions generation (REG) is one of the main components in the generation of Natural Language from non-linguistic data. Existing work in the eld tends to focus on simple two- or three-dimensional domains. More realistic domains, however, are still little investigated, possibly due to the diculties in producing computational models with the required degree of complexity. The recent rise of applications based on three-dimensional interactive environments, however, oers a wide range of research opportunities in REG. In this work we present a REG algorithm for selecting spatial attributes in three-dimensional interactive environments GIVE. The proposed solution is an extension of a traditional REG algorithm that makes use of spatial relations combined with linguistic knowledge extracted from corpora and computational models of spatial reference. The proposal was evaluated intrinsically in the domain of instructions generation in virtual worlds.

Em tais ambientes, a necessidade por bons gestores ? mais importante do que nunca. Gestores de todos os n?veis mais especialmente aqueles intermedi?rios est?o constantemente sendo lembrados pela sua fun??o essencial e papel cr?tico na influ?ncia estrat?gica que exercem sobre a performance e a renova??o organizacional. Neste contexto, o objetivo desta disserta??o ? analisar a influ?ncia da ger?ncia intermedi?ria (GI) na performance organizacional. Desenvolveu-se 1 pesquisa de campo em 2 fases: a Fase Preparat?ria com 15 entrevistados, sendo 5 gestores de RH de empresas de alta performance, 5 acad?micos e 5 headhunters, que apresentou um construto validado sobre os atributos e pap?is do gerente que influenciam a GI; e a Fase Final que utilizou o estudo de m?ltiplos casos (3) para avaliar como a performance da GI influencia a performance organizacional. Os resultados demonstraram que as fun??es que afetam a performance da ger?ncia intermedi?ria s?o: decis?es r?pidas e assertivas, dar o exemplo e criar ambiente desafiadores, atitudes pr?-ativas e discuss?o estrat?gica. A partir disso surgiram as fun??es que influenciam a performance organizacional, que s?o: gest?o de equipes, gest?o de processos e foco em resultado. Ao final apresenta-se um espa?o relacional da ger?ncia intermedi?ria com a performance organizacional, denominado Segredo do Cofre, que traz as explica??es sobre as rela??es entre as dimens?es, categorias e fun??es dentro do ambiente empresarial.

The theoretical base that studies specifically the performance results of this strategic orientation, however, still lacks consensus. While some studies point out a positive impact of entrepreneurial orientation on business performance, others provide negative evidences. Given this scenario, authors have suggested the inclusion of the variable of environmental turbulence as a moderator in this equation. The Brazilian environment, with its unique characteristics, represents an opportunity to increase the accumulated knowledge of the area, since, in Brazil, the research effort concerning this subject is extremely limited. In this sense, the present dissertation, through a cross-sectional survey, aimed to evaluate empirically the impact of entrepreneurial orientation, with the moderation of environmental turbulence, on business performance. For this purpose, 141 questionnaires collected from companies classified among the 1,000 Best and Biggest companies in the country, as stated by Exame Magazine, were considered. The results showed that the direct impact of entrepreneurial orientation on business performance is non-significant. Furthermore, it was found, with the application of the technique of hierarchical regression, that the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance is indeed moderated by technological turbulence and partially moderated by market turbulence. Based on these findings, contributions to academic and managerial knowledge were drawn, as well as limitations and suggestions for future research. / A orienta??o para o empreendedorismo, em meio ? realidade marcada pela acirrada competi??o e constantes mudan?as, vem se destacando como fen?meno fundamental para a busca de vantagens competitivas. A vertente te?rica que estuda especificamente os resultados de performance dessa orienta??o estrat?gica, contudo, ainda carece de consenso. Enquanto alguns trabalhos salientam um impacto positivo da orienta??o para o empreendedorismo na performance empresarial, outros fornecem evid?ncias negativas. Diante deste panorama, autores t?m sugerido a inser??o da vari?vel de turbul?ncia ambiental como moderadora nessa equa??o. O ambiente brasileiro, com suas caracter?sticas ?nicas, representa uma oportunidade de potencializar o conhecimento acumulado da ?rea, uma vez que, a saber, no Brasil, o esfor?o de pesquisa acerca desta tem?tica ? extremamente limitado. Neste sentido, a presente disserta??o, atrav?s de uma survey cross-sectional, objetivou avaliar empiricamente o impacto da orienta??o para o empreendedorismo, com a modera??o da turbul?ncia ambiental, na performance empresarial. Para tanto, foram considerados 141 question?rios coletados junto a empresas enquadradas entre as 1.000 Melhores e Maiores do pa?s, segundo a Revista Exame. Os resultados do levantamento demonstraram que o impacto direto da orienta??o para o empreendedorismo na performance empresarial n?o ? significativo. Al?m disso, verificou-se, com a aplica??o da t?cnica de regress?o hier?rquica, que a rela??o entre a orienta??o para o empreendedorismo e a performance ?, de fato, moderada pela turbul?ncia tecnol?gica e parcialmente moderada pela turbul?ncia de mercado. Com base nestes achados, contribui??es para o conhecimento acad?mico e gerencial foram elaboradas, assim como limita??es e sugest?es para pesquisas futuras.

For that, she opted to constitute corpus, once the data found in other corpora they were inexpressive for the research. The study tries to elucidate the reasons that take the speaker to use a form of larger future in detriment of the more it tans; it investigates as it feels the manifestation of the grammaticalization and demarcation - beginnings givonianos. Besides Giv?n (1979, 1984, 1990, 1995 e 2001), other authors served as light: Cunha (1986); Bechara (2007); Cunha and Cintra (2007); Perini (2006); Neves (2000, 2006) Silva (2005); Furtado da Cunha and Tavares (2007); Gibbon (2000); Torres (2009).

Unter standardisierten Bedingungen wurden sechzehn weibliche Hybride aus Gerfalken (Falco rusticolus) und Wanderfalken (Falco peregrinus) mit 9 mg/kg Körpermasse (KM) des Kombinationspräparates Alphaxalon/Alphadolon anästhesiert; die Applikation erfolgte in die Vena ulnaris. Das Alter der Tiere betrug vier Jahre und die durchschnittliche KM 1204,71 ± 70,46 g. Alle in die Untersuchung einbezogenen Tiere waren klinisch gesund. Folgende Parameter wurden einmal präanästhetisch, einmal im Verlauf der Anästhesie, sowie einmal postanästhetisch bestimmt: Körperinnentemperatur, Herzfrequenz, Atemfrequenz, endexspiratorische Kohlendioxidkonzentration, periphere Sauerstoffsättigung, venöse Blutgase und Säure-Basenstatus. Zusätzlich wurden in regelmäßigen Intervallen Reflexe, Muskeltonus und Schmerzempfinden überprüft. Auf die kurze Einleitphase (< 10 s) folgte eine für kleinere chirurgische Eingriffe ausreichende Toleranzphase (8,6 ± 1,1 min). Die Aufwachphase betrug 32,0 ± 4,0 min. Während der Anästhesie kam es zu einem hochsignifikanten Anstieg des venösen Kohlendioxid-Partialdruckes (42,94 ± 9,20 mmHg auf 57,13 ± 8,06 mmHg; p 0,001). Er wurde durch einen hochsignifikanten Anstieg der Atemfrequenz (27,56 ± 3,67 Züge/min auf 60,25 ± 14,75 Züge/min; p 0,001) adäquat kompensiert, so dass der venöse pH-Wert nur auf 7,34 abfiel und der venöse Sauerstoff-Partialdruck, sowie das Standardbikarbonat während des Beobachtungszeitraumes keiner signifikanten Veränderung unterlagen. Die Befunde zeigen, dass das Kombinationspräparat Alphaxalon/Alphadolon für Ger-/Wanderfalkenhybriden zur Kurzzeitanästhesie für weiterführende Diagnostik, kurze chirurgische Eingriffe oder zur Prämedikation einer Inhalationsanästhesie in oben genannter Dosierung empfohlen werden kann, wobei die Kürze der Einleitphase besonders hervorzuheben ist. Bei Tieren mit Hepatopathien ist von der Verwendung der Anästhetikakombination wegen einer möglichen verzögerten Metabolisierung abzusehen. / Sixteen female gyr- (falco rusticolus) and peregrine falcon (falco peregrinus) crossbreeds were anaesthetised with 9 mg/kg bodymass of the combinated anaesthetic alphaxalone/alphadolone, applicated into the brachial vein. The birds were 4 years of age and the mean bodymass was 1204,71 ± 70,46 g. All the birds included in this study were clinically healthy. The following parameters were measured once before, once during and once after anaesthesia: Body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, end-tidal carbon dioxide (pCO2), arterial oxygen saturation (O2-Sat.), venous blood-gas and acid/base-status. Additionally body reflexes, muscle relaxation and pain stimuli were checked at regular intervals. Following the short induction time (<10 s), a surgical plane of anaesthesia long enough for minor surgery (8,6 ± 1,1 min) was achieved. The recovery time lasted 32,0 ± 4,0 min. During anaesthesia the pvCO2 significantly increased from initially 42,94 ± 9,2 mmHg to 57,13 ± 8,06 mmHg. It was adequately compensated by an increase of the respiratory rate from initially 27,56 ± 3,67 min.-1 to 60,25 ± 14,75 min.-1, so that the venous pH-value dropped only to 7,34. The pvO2 and standard bicarbonate did not change significantly during observation. These results suggest that the combinated anaesthetic alphaxalone/alphadolone can be recommended at the dosage mentioned above as short-term anaesthesia for diagnostic measures, minor surgical procedures or premedication to inhalation anaesthesia. The brief induction time should be emphasized. It is advisable to be careful in animals with liver diseases, where this combination could underly a reduced metabolism.

Singelhushållen dominerar bostadsutbudet. Men varför måste vi bo ensamma bara för att vi inte har en partner? Både unga och äldre är idag positivit inställda till ett kollektivt boende. Stora lägenheter finns att tillgå på marknaden, problemet är att de inte är utformade för ett kollektivt boende utan snarare för en kärnfamilj. Jag har försökt utforma lägenheter som riktar sig till människor som vill bo tillsammans men som nödvändigtvis inte är släkt. Det ledande i projektet har varit att om vi delar på vissa kostsamma delar av boendet, som toaletter och kök, kan vi istället prioritera ökad rumsyta och möjligagöra en annan boendedynamik och på så sätt uppnå en högre boendekvalité. Kan vi bor fler tillsammans kan vi få kvalitéer smålägenheter inte kan ge oss. Fler ger mer! / Single households dominate the housing supply. But why must we live alone just because we do not have a partner? Both young and older has a positive attitude to a collective housing. Large apartments are available in the market; the problem is they are not designed for a shared accommodation, but rather for a nuclear family. I have sought to design apartments that caters to people who want to live together but who are not necessarily related. The leader of the project has been that if we share certain costly areas of accommodation, such as toilets and kitchens, we can instead give priority to increased floor space and create potential to make another accommodation dynamics and thus achieve a higher quality accommodation. If we can live more together, we can get qualities that small apartments can not give us. More offers more!

The intention of this work is to represent the nomadic culture by a luminaire. Inspired by the nomadic Mongolian ger(yurt) and based on its physical and cultural characters, the work is done by designing a portable luminaire with the concept of the solar solution. The whole project is an attempt of bringing traditional culture items to luminaire design and searching for the balance between them.
