In these three places, a set of traditional handicrafts is produced, such as different kinds of baskets (paneiros and balaios), sieves, fans, brooms, paddles, pottery and others. An ethnographic study was carried out, which identified the set of objects produced and used locally, the craftsmen engaged in this activity, the raw material used, the production strategies, the commercial arrangements and the context of teaching and learning this knowledge. Among the communities studied, handicrafts are destined to domestic use and comfort, agricultural, fisheries and extractive activities, and sold in close communities, as well as the municipalities of Tefé and Alvarães. In this context, paneiros, sieves, paddles and canoes have differentiated status among the set of objects identified. This is explained by the importance that theseobjects have on everyday riverine life and their incursion in the sphere of sales and exchanges, that gives them a wider exchange value within the local economy. By selling these objects, families can ensure an important source of income in the local domestic economy, since, depending on the period of the year, such income may represent the main source of livelihood. Furthermore, the production and commercialization of handicrafts involves a net of social relations, where in addition to objects, a set of practices and knowledge circulates. These practices and knowledge are marked by a manual tradition, transmitted through generations by the social relations of kinship. Therefore, the recognition of this knowledge not only enables the promotion and the strengthening of this cultural expression within these communities, but also the diffusion of this practice in the region. / O presente trabalho analisa o contexto social da produção de objetos artesanais em três localidades ribeirinhas: Belo Monte, São José do Urini e Sítio Cachimbo, todas situadas na Reserva de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Amanã, região do Médio Solimões, Estado do Amazonas. Nestes três lugares um conjunto de objetos artesanais (paneiro, peneira, abano, balaio, vassoura, remo, canoas, louças de barro entre outros) é produzido tradicionalmente. O estudo etnográfico identifica o conjunto de objetos produzidos e utilizados, os artesãos envolvidos nesta atividade, as matérias-primas empregadas, as estratégias produtivas, os arranjos comerciais e o contexto de ensino e aprendizagem deste saber. Assim, entre as comunidades estudadas, percebe-se que os objetos são destinados para uso e conforto doméstico, atividades agrícolas, extrativistas e pesqueiras e são comercializados em comunidades próximas e nos municípios de Tefé e Alvarães. Neste contexto, os paneiros, as peneiras, os remos e as canoas assumem status diferenciado no conjunto de objetos identificados, pois, a importância que estes possuem no uso cotidiano ribeirinho e a sua entrada no circuito de trocas e vendas, confere-lhes um valor de uso e de troca mais amplo no contexto econômico local. Com a venda desses objetos, as famílias produtoras conseguem assegurar uma fonte de renda importante na economia doméstica local já que, dependendo da época do ano, esta renda pode significar a sua principal fonte de sustento. Ademais, a produção e comercialização dos objetos artesanais envolvem uma rede de relações sociais, por meio da qual circula, além dos objetos, um conjunto de práticas e saberes de fazer objetos artesanais. Estas práticas e saberes carregam a marca de um fazer manual que está sendo repassado geracionalmente por meio das relações sociais de parentesco. Portanto, o reconhecimento destes saberes possibilita não só a promoção e o fortalecimento desta expressão cultural dentro das próprias comunidades produtoras como a difusão local desta prática.

It has, among others, the purpose of proposing didactic strategies for the teaching and learning processes of Geometry, based on the relation of the contents of geometry with geometric patterns observed in the confection processes and handicrafts of the Ticuna indigenous peoples of the Umaria?? Indigenous Community, as well as suggest some pedagogical activities to be worked using these elements. The methodology of this work consists in the application of a questionnaire to evaluate the level of understanding and the importance of geometry for the students and for the course, in detailed observations of the student?s presentation during the seminars where the students presented results of their researches. The realization of craft workshops aiming to establish a relationship between the geometric patterns studied and those found in this process, and their possible application in problems of their daily life. During the seminars and in the confection activities it was noticed that the handicrafts facilitated the understanding of the basic contents of geometry because they are part of the socio-cultural context of the student. The satisfaction and motivation for the recognition of their culture were evidenced in the evaluation. In this way, it can be said that indigenous handicrafts can facilitate the teaching and learning processes of geometry for these students. This work also intends to make a modest contribution to the mathematics teachers of the indigenous schools with some suggestions of activities that can be developed by the students of the community with the intention of making the learning more meaningful and pleasant for the students and also to strengthen the traditional culture of the Ticunas / Esta disserta??o retrata uma pesquisa realizada com alunos do Curso T?cnico Integrado em Agropecu?ria PRO-EJA Ind?gena do Instituto Federal do Amazonas ?

As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and social enterprises become drivers of economic growth, the nexus provides opportunities for new models of business to bring benefits to communities in developing countries. Recognising the complex dynamics and range of actors in this diverse and emerging sector, this study chooses to document the external influences, use and impact of ICT on social enterprises. The problem investigated is the potential gap between the rhetoric of the 'promise of e-business' versus the dynamics of enactment and impacts of ICT in practice in the social enterprise sector. The methodology consists of a mixed-method data collection strategy to triangulate data sources from a diverse cross-section of organisations in the social enterprise sector in Cambodia. These include a cross-sectional survey, interviews, observations, document analysis and review of artefacts. It is unclear whether the Cambodian social enterprise sector represents a unique case or is representative of other countries. Regardless, the rich dynamics of the sector and the current lack of understanding of ICT use by this sector in developing countries per se warrant such a study. It fills a significant gap in the field of ICT and development by providing an in-depth overview of the social enterprise sector in one developing country, which may also be applicable in other developing country contexts. The research maps the e-business status of Cambodian social enterprises along a continuum from precursor activity to fully integrated e-services. It finds that Cambodian social enterprises believe ICT adds value to their operation; however access to affordable and reliable local ICT resources is an important factor determining long-term uptake. It also shows that external support is seen as vital to the success of ICT uptake by social enterprises in Cambodia. Donors have the most significant influence on social enterprises' framing of ICT, whilst NGOs, associations and the private sector are also important institutional players in shaping understanding and uptake of ICT. The main contribution of the research is to identify the real development impact of ICT use by social enterprises by measuring the role of ICTs in achieving their goals. Its major finding is that social and business missions are inextricably linked within these organisations, so to measure one in isolation of the other denies the new paradigm that social enterprises present. The most active sub-sector explored that best reflects this unique value proposition is the emerging social outsourcing potential of the IT services sub-sector. The handicraft and processing sub-sectors have yet to fully engage and use ICT to their maximum benefit. The outlook for these sub-sectors is likely to require further support to best harness the potential that ICT can bring developing countries.

This thesis investigates the emergence of a new specialisation within the profession of architecture, namely that of the architectural technologist. The main original contributions from the research concern a deep understanding of how that emergence has been realised, and a study of the implications for buildings in the longer term. Using the UK and Denmark as examples it finds that this profession has existed for a long time, but until recently without formal recognition. It also finds that the consequences of the lack of attention are potentially major, and it suggests why recognition came so late. By researching literature the history of the building and architecture industries was investigated and it is shown how the architects were cooperating with well-trained craftsmen for many centuries. This is compared with the kind of cooperation with architectural technologists going on today, and what will most likely occur in the future. Questionnaires, to provide data about current architectural and architectural technologist education, were sent to groups of newly graduated professionals. After statistical treatment the resulting quantitative data were thoroughly analysed by discussing the possible interpretations. Focus groups of highly qualified professionals also interpreted the data and insights into the needs of industry in both the UK and Denmark were provided. Finally, the thesis concludes by identifying necessary means of improvement, and points at the serious risk of a further division of the construction industry into more consulting companies. This increases the risk of future architecture failing to properly integrate technology and design.

The companies are operating in complex, dynamic and uncertain environments that it difficult to compete. The e-economy each time has a major presence in business world, then, the small entrepreneurs must design strategies based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), particularly the use of Internet, to improve company performance. Thus, the efficient implementation of websites is a mechanism that should exploit exporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or with export potential, of the handicrafts industry, to communicate desired company image and optimize customer service, this it has implications who require to be analyzed to make an effective use of the ICTs. / Las empresas actualmente se desenvuelven en entornos complejos, dinámicos e inciertos que hacen difícil competir. Ya que la economía digital cada vez tiene mayor presencia en el mundo de los negocios, entonces, los pequeños empresarios deben diseñar estrategias basadas en las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), particularmente el uso de Internet, para mejorar el desempeño de la empresa. Así, la implementación de sitios web eficientes es un mecanismo que deben explotar las PYMES exportadoras o con potencial exportador del sector artesanías para comunicar la imagen deseada de la empresa y optimizar así la atención al cliente; esto tiene implicancias que requieren ser analizadas para hacer un uso eficaz de las TIC.

The purpose has been to examine the textile artist Viveka Nygrens ́s artistry and her abstract textile expression between the years 1985 and up to 2000. This is done through an examination of Nygren ́s textile production in general and in detail through an examination of the textile expression in color, shape, and weaving techniques in two selected works. Furthermore, both the existence of the abstract expression in textile art during Nygren ́s time and the contemporary art field ́s views on and values about the relationship between art and art and craft are studied. This is done through a case study of the exhibition catalogs from the Scandinavian art triennials that were carried out within the chosen time frame.  Issues is:  What does Nygren ́s textile artistic look like? What choices does she make in her craft, regarding technology and materials? How does she use the hand weaving techniques in the abstract expression? What does the abstract textile art scene look like during the period 1985 – 2000? Are handwoven techniques used and what do the textile work look like? Are there actors who express opinions about the relationship between art and art and crafts? Theoretically, the essay is based on the concepts of art and art and craft and the field of tension that prevails between them. On the one hand it is about a creative relationship between art and art and craft, which is based on knowledge and creativity, in an individual and on the other hand it is about the excitement, in society and the field of art, in the question of what art is and what is art and craft. The survey showed that the non-imaginative abstract expression dominated the textile art scene and interest in weaving techniques fell sharply in the last year of 1995. The survey showed that the relationship between art and art and craft was very tense for each triennial. In the essay ́s investigation of the textile triennials, it emerged that on the textile art scene there has been a shift from an art form based on a craft tradition to one among other techniques on the art scene. Thus, it can also be stated that Viveka Nygren ́s artistic starting points were a craftmanship that served under her abstract art expression.

Traditional technologies are revelations of knowledge, skill, and wisdom of ancestors that have been used to facilitate and enhance the performance of socio-economic activities, overcome environmental challenges, and magnify symbolic presentations of cultural and spiritual engagements. Traditional technologies are still practiced in many communities despite the strides made in the advancement of modern technologies. The socio-economic significance of traditional technologies in the context of Ethiopia is even more profound. There are hardly social, economic, and spiritual activities that are not, directly or indirectly, influenced by the application of traditional technologies. The irony is, however, they are not appreciated and conserved in spite that they have been proving a sustained significance across generations while, to the contrary, modern technologies are even staggering to outlive the stage of product introduction. Although still proving to be useful, traditional technologies have been marginalized as if they are symbols of backwardness belonging to the past as irrelevant to the modern day settings. It was, therefore, the urge to look into this dilemma that became the basis for the initiation to conduct a research on the captioned topic. The study has endeavored to address how traditional technologies, specifically that of Ethiopia, are able to sustain contrary to extant theoretical predictions of technologies, and investigate why they have been deterred from getting the conservation and transformation they deserve in spite of the socio-economic significant role they have continued to play as capitulated in the statement of the problem. In addressing the statement of the problem, the paradigm of the world outlook within which the research was situated is found to be related to the Critical Theory paradigm. As a result, a qualitative research methodology based on a case study design was framed and a longitudinal field study on the sampled cases was conducted. The data generated from the study were ix filtered, coded, organized, categorized, and ultimately analyzed and interpreted using apparent analytic models until saturated and triangulated findings were established. Accordingly, the core constructs that has been defining the fate of traditional technologies were induced and their impact in deterring or promoting the conservation and transformation of traditional technologies were synthesized. Based on the outcomes of data analysis and interpretation, appropriate methods of reshaping the societal attitude and orientation in terms of conserving and transforming traditional practices are proposed as induced recommendations ultimately requiring a timely intervention. / Business Management / D.
