Vliv změny parametrů termálního plazmatu Země a slunečních indexů na úmrtnost podle příčin v České republice / Impact of changes in Earth thermal plasma parameters and solar indices on mortality by cause in the Czech Republic

Podolská, Kateřina January 2013 (has links)
The aim of this diploma thesis was to study the dependence of the intensity of mortality in the Czech Republic, according to the chosen causes of death, on the Solar activity during the increasing and decreasing phase of the Solar cycle in the period 1994-2011, using the methods of the multivariate statistical analysis. The Solar activity was represented by the indices R, Kp, F10.7 and Dst, and also by the height of the F2 layer and TEC for the Czech Republic. The typology of time profiles for causes of death was identified with the help of cluster analysis using time. The dependence between the analyzed time series was investigated using the multivariate statistical analysis. The correlation of the intensity of mortality from coronary heart disease, from stroke, Edwards' and Pataus' syndrom with the Solar activity parameters was discovered, as well as a stronger dependence on the ionosphere parametres related to the Czech Republic area.

Stopover ecology of five species of migratory songbirds at a coastal site in the Pacific flyway

Barton, Regina A. January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Biology / Brett K. Sandercock / The migratory period is a critical time for birds. Population declines in long-distance migratory birds have been associated with trophic mismatches among climate change, timing of food availability, and timing of migratory movements. Studies on migratory songbirds have been limited to eastern North America and Europe, and migration strategies of birds may differ along the Pacific flyway. We evaluated the stopover ecology of five species of migratory songbirds at a coastal site in northern California. We found variation in changes in timing of spring migration, but consistent changes in timing of autumn migration over a 22-year period. Timing of spring migration advanced for Swainson’s Thrushes (Catharus ustulatus) and Yellow Warblers (Setophaga petechia), was compressed for Pacific-slope Flycatchers (Empidonax difficilis) and Wilson’s Warblers (Cardellina pusilla), but was protracted for Orange-crowned Warblers (Oreothlypis celata). In contrast, timing of autumn migration was delayed for Pacific-slope Flycatchers, Orange-crowned Warblers, and Yellow Warblers, but was protracted for Wilson’s Warblers. Warm, wet conditions were associated with advanced spring migration, and warm, dry conditions were associated with delayed autumn migration. Changes in timing of migration related to climate conditions were strongest for Pacific-slope Flycatchers and Orange-crowned Warblers. Stopover duration of our five study species was longer than songbirds in eastern flyways, and on average, was longer in spring than autumn. Pacific-slope Flycatchers and Yellow Warblers had longer stopovers in spring, whereas Swainson’s Thrushes and Wilson’s Warblers stopped had longer stopovers in autumn. Birds captured at low body mass had longer stopovers in spring and autumn. Migratory birds in western North America may have different migration strategies because of differences in climate and geography, but more study is needed to discover migratory routes and compare our results to other stopover sites along the Pacific flyway. Understanding differences in migration strategies of different populations of the same species are important in directing conservation efforts, especially in light of ongoing climate change.

Faktory ovlivňující reprodukční ukazatele dojnic ve vybraném chovu

ZERZÁNKOVÁ, Veronika January 2019 (has links)
This thesis provides an overview of the literature on reproduction attributes of the Holstein Friesian cattle and its influence on the cattle reproductive indices. One of the goals was to evaluate the influence of selected factors on the reproduction indices for a pre-selected group of dairy cattles. The data has been processed and sorted by the lactation production levels, daily production, order of lactation and the age of the first calving. The data about the used bulls has been processed as well. Another goal of the thesis was acquisition of the data about excluded cows. For the excluded cows, the age, order of lactation, reason for exclusion and life-long production have been recorded. The data for the thesis have been obtained from the production control records and database of breeds in the selected Holstein cattle breeding. The dairy cattles, which got in calf during the years 2017 and 2018 have been evaluated. In particular, for 2017 and 2018, the evaluation was carried out on 190 and 229 dairy cattles respectively, which makes the total of 419 evaluated cows. For those dairy cows, the insemination index data, insemination interval, gestation after first insemination, service period and gestation period has been recovered from the zootechnical register. The evaluation of excluded dairy cows contained 339 dairy cows, which have been excluded during years 2017 and 2018. For the evaluation of the used bulls, the total count and description of how the bull for insemination have been selected is provided. Evaluation the influence of level of lactation production on the reproduction indices has shown a significant (p0,05) statistical relation between production levels and duration of the service period. It has also been proven that this has an influence on the insemination index levels. The lowest values (p0,05) of service period and insemination index have been detected for dairy cattles with production up to 6 999 kg. On the other hand, the highest values of service period and insemination index have been recorded for the dairy cattles with production up to 9 000 kg (p0,05). The influence of daily dairy production levels on the reproduction indices have been evaluated as well. It can be clearly seen from the results that as the daily dairy production increases, the service period increases as well. The lowest values (p0,05) of the service period was recorded for breeds, who had the daily production levels up to 24.99 kg. Opposed to that, the highest values of service period have been recorded for dairy cattles with average daily milk production over 30 kg. The evaluation of order of lactation on the reproduction indices did not show any significant statistical results (p0,05). Furthermore, during the evaluation of first calving, no statistically significant differences have been shown (p0,05). Last reproduction index we have evaluated was gestation after the first insemination. The groups were divided by the production levels, daily milk production, order of lactation and age of the first calving. For each group, the percentage of cattles that got in calf after first insemination has been computed. On average, this value was 36.28%.

Individualisation de l'écoute binaurale : création et transformation des indices spectraux et des morphologies des individus / Binaural hearing individualization : acquisition and transformation of spectral cues and individuals’ morphologies

Rugeles Ospina, Felipe 22 July 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse se concentre sur l'individualisation des HRTF pour la synthèse binaurale. Les systèmes permettant de mesurer des HRTF sont difficiles d'accès au grand public, ce qui pose un problème pour la démocratisation de l'audio binaurale de haute qualité. C'est pour cette raison que nous recherchons une méthode permettant de calculer les HRTF d'une personne qu'à partir de la connaissance de sa morphologie. Ces travaux de thèse avancent sur les investigations visant à avoir une technique de personnalisation de l'audio binaurale. La technique de personnalisation proposée part du principe qu'il existe un lien direct et systématique liant des paramètres de la morphologie d'un individu avec les indices spectraux de ses HRTF. Elle est basée sur la détermination d'une fonction qui prend en entrée des paramètres morphologiques et qui donne en sortie des paramètres de transformation à appliquer à un jeu de HRTF existant pour obtenir un jeu de HRTF personnalisé. Cette fonction est estimée à partir d'analyses statistiques faits sur une base de données contenant des modèles numériques des individus ainsi que leurs HRTF. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il faut construire dans un premier temps les données à partir desquelles nous allons estimer notre fonction de personnalisation. Ces travaux expliquent les systèmes que nous avons conçus pour mesurer les HRTF des individus ainsi que pour obtenir leur modèle numérique tridimensionnel. De plus, les protocoles de mesure associés à chaque système sont expliqués. Enfin, nous expliquons comment les données obtenues peuvent être exploitées pour développer un procédé de personnalisation des HRTF. / This thesis focuses on the HRTF individualization problem in the context of binaural synthesis for general applications. HRTF strongly depend on morphological features of a person and, in order to provide compelling auditory spaces, binaural synthesis requires the use of individualized HRTF. Measuring or calculating the HRTF of a listener are common but lengthy and costly methods that are not feasible for general public applications. That is the reason why we aim to develop an alternative technique to obtain customized HRTF. The technique proposed relies on estimating the spectral cues of the HRTF, corresponding to the colorations induced by pinna filtering, from a person's morphology. The spectral cues represent the most complex and individual part of HRTF. The work presented in this thesis is based on the existence of a direct and systematic link between the morphology of a person and the spectral cues of their HRTF. The goal is to start from individualization techniques of HRTF and make studies for better understanding the relationship between the morphology of a person and their HRTF. The ultimate goal is then to find a proper morphological matching personalization technique. The first step to achieve this goal is to build the measuring systems who will help us create the databases that we will use for our analyses. This thesis explains the two measuring systems that were created and the measuring protocols that were used to create two related databases containing the 3D models and the measured HRTFs of a collection of people. We then explain how these databases can be used to fit the HRTF individualization technique we have proposed.

Ocorrência de aflatoxinas e fumonisinas em sistema de produção de frangos de corte no Estado de São Paulo. / Occurrence of aflatoxin and fumonisin in a poultry productive system in the state of São Paulo.

Kobashigawa, Estela 21 December 2010 (has links)
O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a ocorrência de aflatoxina e fumonisina no sistema de produção de frango de corte e o impacto destas micotoxinas nos índices produtivos em uma empresa integradora localizada no Estado de São Paulo. Adicionalmente, foram identificados os principais fatores para a produção de micotoxinas em rações e a ocorrência de resíduos de aflatoxinas e fumonisinas em tecidos comestíveis de frango (músculo peitoral, fígado e moela). Foram realizadas as contagens de fungos e leveduras totais, de fungos dos gêneros Aspergillus ssp. e Fusarium ssp. e quantificação de aflatoxina e fumonisina nas principais matérias-primas da ração (milho e farelo de soja), na ração de abate e na cama de frango. O isolamento de fungos nas amostras de milho, farelo de soja e ração foi realizado em ágar DG18, enquanto que, para as amostras de cama de frango, utilizou-se o ágar PDA. Para a extração de aflatoxinas e fumonisinas, foram utilizadas colunas de imunoafinidade (Neogen®) e colunas SAX de troca iônica, respectivamente. A quantificação das aflatoxinas e fumonisinas foi realizada através de cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE). O milho foi o alimento onde foi observada a maior frequência de Aspergillus ssp. e Fusarium ssp., e também maior positividade para aflatoxinas e fumonisinas, sendo que uma das amostras ultrapassou o limite de aflatoxinas recomendado pelo Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA). As quantidades de aflatoxinas e fumonisinas encontradas na ração não influenciaram significativamente os índices produtivos. Não foram encontrados níveis detectáveis de resíduos de aflatoxinas e fumonisinas nos tecidos analisados. Embora não tenham sido observadas lesões macroscópicas no fígado e bursa das aves, foram constatadas alterações histopatológicas nessas vísceras, as quais são compatíveis com lesões causadas pela ingestão de aflatoxinas e fumonisinas. / The objective of this study was to verify the occurrence of aflatoxin and fumonisin in poultry feed and their influence on poultry productivity at company located in São Paulo State. Supplementary, were identified the main factors that cause mycotoxin production in poultry feed and determine the occurrence of aflatoxins and fumonisins residues in edible parts of poultry (breast, liver and gizzard). The total mold and yeast counting of Aspergillus ssp. and Fusarium ssp. genus and quantification of aflatoxin and fumonisin were determined in the main feed ingredients (corn and soybean meal), in finishing diets and bedding. The fungi from corn, soybean meal and feed were isolated in DG18 agar, whereas, the fungi from bedding was used PDA agar. Aflatoxins and fumonisins, were extracted using an immunoaffinity column (Neogen®) and a SAX column, respectively. Aflatoxins and fumonisins were quantified by high performance liquid chromatografy (HPLC). The corn showed the highest frequency of Aspergillus ssp. and Fusarium ssp. and also the highest positivity for aflatoxins and fumonisins, there was one corn sample that exceeded the recommendations of the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture. The levels of aflatoxins and fumonisins in the feed did not significantly influence productivity. There were not detectable levels of aflatoxins and fumonisins on analysed tissues. Although macroscopic lesions were not observed in liver and bursa, histopathological changes were observed in these organs, which are consistent with injuries caused by the aflatoxin and fumonisin consumption.

A recente evolução da distribuição da renda na Região Norte do Brasil / The recent evolution of income distribution in Northern Brazil

Gabriel, Flávio Braga de Almeida 07 February 2014 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal avaliar o comportamento da distribuição da renda domiciliar per capita na Região Norte do Brasil de 2004 a 2012. Como objetivos complementares, buscou-se: expor o debate existente na literatura recente sobre distribuição de renda no Brasil; determinar as causas imediatas de eventuais diferenças da distribuição da RDPC da Região Norte com base no grau de progressividade das parcelas da renda; analisar o efeito-composição e o efeitoconcentração da variação do índice de Gini das parcelas da RDPC, de 2004 a 2012. Para atingir esses objetivos utilizou-se, como metodologia, o cálculo dos Índices de Gini, Mehran e Piesch e suas respectivas decomposições considerando parcelas da renda. Como base de dados, foram utilizados os microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) para o período analisado. Como resultados, os índices de desigualdade da RDPC da Região Norte apresentaram comportamento diferente aos do Brasil e aos da maioria das demais Regiões oficiais, sendo parecidos aos que a Região Centro-Oeste (em especial o DF) apresentou. O índice de Gini da RDPC dos Estados da Região Norte tiveram comportamento não homogêneo no período analisado. A parcela da RDPC formada pela renda de militar e funcionário público da Região Norte se destacou por ter o maior grau de progressividade negativo em comparação ao do Brasil e do Distrito Federal, enquanto que a parcela \"outros rendimentos\" teve o maior grau de progressividade positivo, sendo responsável por 56,7% da mudança do índice de Gini de 2004 a 2012. Tanto o Brasil quanto a Região Norte registram aumento da escolaridade média. Porém, enquanto que no Brasil a dispersão da escolaridade diminui, na Região Norte aumenta, o que aumenta a dispersão dos rendimentos e, por sua vez, a desigualdade da renda. / The main objective of this study was to evaluate the distribution of the per capita household income (PCHI) in Northern Brazil from 2004 to 2012. As complementary objectives, we sought to: expose the existing debate in the recent literature on income distribution in Brazil; determine immediate causes of eventual differences of the PCHI in Northern Brazil based on the degree of progressivity of the income components; assess the effect-composition and effect-concentration of the variation of Gini index for the components of PCHI from 2004 to 2012. In order to achieve these goals the methodology was based on the calculations of Gini, Mehran and Piesch indices and their respective decompositions considering income components. Microdata of the National Research for Sample of Domiciles (PNAD) were used as the database for the analyzed period. Results showed that the inequality indices of the PCHI of the Northern region had a behavior different from the ones of Brazil and most of the other official regions, being similar to those of the Midwest region (in particular, Federal District). The Gini index of PCHI of Northern region states had a non-homogenous behavior in the analyzed period. The PCHI component formed by the military and civil servant household income in the Northern region had the highest negative degree of progressivity compared to the ones of Brazil and Federal District; while the \"other incomes\" component had the highest positive degree of progressivity, being responsible for 56.7% of the change in the Gini index from 2004 to 2012. Both Brazil and the Northern region have shown increase of average schooling. However, while schooling dispersion decreases in Brazil, it increases in the Northern region, which intensifies income dispersion and, consequently, income inequality.

Eventos de tempo severo associados às linhas de instabiliade sobre o estado de São Paulo / Severe weather events associated with squall lines over São Paulo state.

Bender, Andréia 17 May 2012 (has links)
Neste trabalho foram estudadas as linhas de instabilidade (LI) que atingiram a RMSP, o desenvolvimento de tempo severo associados a estas e a possibilidade de utilizar alguns parâmetros de tempo severo na identificação destes eventos. Foram identificadas 185 linhas no período de 2002 a 2009 através da observação de imagens de satélite. Estas ocorrem durante todos os períodos do ano, embora a frequência seja maior nos meses de verão, em função da maior atividade convectiva nessa estação do ano. Foi identificado que 94 % das LI se deslocaram para leste enquanto apenas 6 % tiveram seu deslocamento para oeste. Testes sobre configurações mais adequadas para a simulação de LI com o modelo BRAMS indicaram que as parametrizações de convecção disponíveis no modelo não são capazes de representar os eventos de forma adequada, havendo a necessidade de aumento na resolução das simulações e forte dependência da parametrização de microfísica. Foi constatado que espaçamentos de grade de oito quilômetros são suficientes para uma boa representação dos eventos. Os testes também indicaram que, dentre as opções disponíveis no modelo, o uso da deformação Anisotrópica para o tratamento dos processos turbulentos é o mais indicado para a simulação de casos de LI. Os parâmetros convectivos mostraram-se bons indicadores de tempo severo na presença de sistemas de origem baroclínica, apresentando valores similares aos encontrados para o HN. Porém, em tempestades onde o efeito termodinâmico é o fator mais importante, como nas tempestades isoladas ou na presença de ZCAS os índices cinemáticos nem sempre são bons preditores de tempo severo. A análise dos parâmetros convectivos obtidos das radiosondagens lançadas na RMSP mostra que, em muitos casos observados de LI, não há valores indicativos de ocorrência de tempo severo, ressaltando a importância do uso de perfis obtidos da modelagem numérica, numa região de abrangência maior, para a obtenção desses índices. / A study about the squall lines that reached Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP), the development of severe weather associated with these and the possibility of using some parameters in the identification of severe weather are presented. It was identified a total of 185 squall lines between 2002 and 2009 through the analysis of satellite images. These lines occur during all periods of the year, although the frequency of squall lines is higher in summer months, due to increased convective activity in this season. Also, it was identified that 94 % of the squall lines moved eastward while only 6% of then moved westward. Tests about the most appropriate configuration to the squall lines simulation with BRAMS model indicated that the convective parameterizations available in the model are not able to represent the events in an adequate manner, being necessary to use higher resolutions in the simulations, which creates a stronger dependence on microphysics parameterization. We note that grid spacing as low as eight kilometers are enough for a fair representation of the events. The tests also indicated that, among all the options available in the model for turbulent process the anisotropic deformation is the one that works better in simulating squall lines. The convective parameters proved to be good indicators of severe weather in the presence of baroclinic systems, with similar values to those found for the Northern Hemisphere. However in storms where the thermodynamic effect is the most important factor, as in isolated storms and in the presence of the Southern Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ), kinematics indices are not always good predictors of severe weather. The analysis of convective indices, obtained through radiosondes variables launched in the MASP, shows that in many squall line observed cases there is no indication of severe weather occurrence. This fact increases the importance of using the profiles provided by numerical modeling over a larger region to obtain such indices.

Efeitos das lâminas de irrigação e da adubação nitrogenada no comportamento espectral da cultura do feijão / Effects of irrigation levels and nitrogen fertilization on the spectral behavior of bean crop

Monteiro, Priscylla Ferraz Camara 14 December 2009 (has links)
Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal analisar, em condições de campo, o efeito de lâminas de irrigação e de doses de nitrogênio sobre o comportamento espectral da cultura do feijão, a partir de medidas de reflectância hiperespectral, na faixa de 350 a 1150 nm, e da correlação entre os parâmetros biofísicos e as variáveis agronômicas da cultura, nessas condições. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental de Agricultura Irrigada da Fazenda Areão, sob a responsabilidade do Departamento de Engenharia Rural da Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz DER/ESALQ/USP, localizada no município de Piracicaba, SP, de setembro a dezembro de 2007. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados com parcelas subdivididas, alocando-se, nas parcelas, os tratamentos relacionados aos níveis de irrigação ((179,5; 256,5; 357,5 e 406,2 mm) e nas subparcelas os tratamentos relativos às doses de nitrogênio (0; 80 e 160 kg ha-1), totalizando doze tratamentos em cada bloco. Como os tratamentos foram dispostos em quatro blocos (repetições), o total de parcelas experimentais foi de 48. As medidas radiométricas de campo foram adquiridas por meio do espectrorradiômetro SPECTRON SE-590, em sete datas, durante o ciclo da cultura. Foram coletados, ainda, a altura das plantas, o índice de área foliar, a produtividade de grãos, o número de grãos por vagem e o número de vagens por planta. Os índices espectrais calculados foram o NDVI e o NB_NDVI. Foi aplicada a remoção do contínuo nos espectros de reflectância para analisar a profundidade da banda e a área da banda de absorção, centrada em 665 nm. O fator água influenciou as variáveis biofísicas (IAF, altura da planta, produtividade, número de vagens por planta e número de grãos por vagem), sendo maiores os valores encontrados nas plantas que receberam maiores quantidades de água. O aumento da dose de nitrogênio não influenciou as variações das variáveis biofísicas, devido, possivelmente, ao processo de lixiviação desse nutriente para as camadas abaixo do sistema radicular da cultura. As análises dos índices de vegetação e dos parâmetros da remoção do contínuo (área e profundidade da banda de absorção) mostraram que as lâminas de irrigação afetaram o comportamento espectral do feijão no comprimento de onda de 665 nm, e que esses parâmetros não foram influenciados pelas doses de N. Os índices de vegetação (NDVI e NB_NDVI) e os parâmetros da remoção do contínuo (a profundidade da banda e a área da banda de absorção) foram eficientes na estimativa do IAF, da altura de plantas e da produtividade de grãos. Durante todo o desenvolvimento da cultura, as melhores correlações entre as variáveis biofísicas e as variáveis espectrais foram observadas nos estádios V4 e R6 de acordo com a variável analisada, sendo, portanto, estes os melhores estádios para monitorar espectralmente a cultura. Diante das metodologias utilizadas, as variáveis biofísicas foram mais bem estimadas pelo índice NB_NDVI, nos estádios V4 e R6, quando comparado ao índice NDVI e aos parâmetros da remoção do contínuo (profundidade e área da banda de absorção). / The objective of this research was to analyze the effect of irrigation levels and nitrogen fertilization on the spectral behavior, in the wavelength range of 350 to 1150 nm, of bean crop and the correlation between biophysical parameters and agronomical variables. The experiment was carried on at the Fazenda Areão, located at the University of São Paulo (ESALQ/USP) campus, Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil, from September to December, 2007. The experimental design was the randomized blocks, with split plots, with 12 treatments, 4 irrigation levels (179,5; 256,5; 357,5 e 406,2 mm) and 3 nitrogen rates (0; 80 e 160 kg ha-1), and four blocks. The field radiometric data were acquired with the SPECTRON-SE 590 spectroradiometer for seven dates during the crop growing season. Plant height, leaf area index (LAI), grain yield, the pod number per plant and the grain number per pod were also acquired. The spectral indices used were NDVI and NB_NDVI. The continuum removal was applied for the reflectance spectrum, on visible region centered on 665 nm, to analyze the band area and band depth. The irrigation also influenced the biophysical variables, so the largest medium values were observed in the treatments that used the largest irrigation levels. The nitrogen fertilization did not interfere on the biophysical variables, probably due to the leaching process. The vegetation indices and continuum removal analysis showed that irrigation levels affected the spectral behavior of bean crop on 665 nm and this parameters had not been influenced by nitrogen levels. The vegetation indices (NDVI and NB_NDVI) and the continuum removal parameters (band area and band depth) were efficient in the estimate of IAF, plant height and grain yield. During all the crop development, the best correlations between biophysical variables and spectral variables were observed on V4 and R6 stages, according to the variable analized. In face of the methodologies used, the biophysical variables were better estimated by NB_NDVI, on V4 and R6 stages, when compared with NDVI and the continuum removal parameters.

Aplicação dos indicadores ethos de responsabilidade social empresarial: estudo de caso com uma empresa da economia de comunhão / Application of indices from Ethos Institute for Business and Social Responsibility: a case study with an economy of sharing enterprise

Silveira, Natani Carolina 25 April 2008 (has links)
Diante do atual cenário político, econômico e social, permeado pela intensa competitividade, novas propostas de estilos de gestão estão emergindo no meio empresarial. No âmbito social, essas propostas tornam-se cada vez mais importantes e as organizações assumem o papel de resgatar os valores humanitários e as condições sociais do indivíduo. Desta forma, as organizações se tornam agentes de mudança e co-responsáveis pela reconstrução da cidadania e do bem-estar social. Este trabalho visa identificar e caracterizar dois tipos de propostas de gestão social: a Responsabilidade Social Empresarial e a Economia de Comunhão. Ambas surgem no contexto de amenizar a exclusão social, erradicar a pobreza e diminuir a disparidade presente no cenário contemporâneo. O objetivo deste trabalho é aplicar os Indicadores Ethos de Responsabilidade Social Empresarial em uma empresa que adotou um novo estilo de abordagem social: a Economia de Comunhão. A partir da aplicação dos indicadores, será possível mensurar e identificar as ações desenvolvidas por esta empresa e também avaliar se a prática dessas ações sociais atendem os preceitos da Responsabilidade Social Empresarial. / According to the current social, politic, and economic scenario, which is permeated with intense competitiveness, new proposals of management styles have been arising. In relation to social sphere, these proposals become more and more important and the organizations assume the role of rescuing human values and individuals social conditions. Thus, organizations have been acting as agents of change and are co-responsible for the reconstruction of citizenship and welfare state. This study seeks to identify and to characterize two kinds of social management proposals: the Business and Social Responsibility and the Economy of Sharing. Both of them appear in an attempt to reduce social exclusion, to eradicate poverty and to decrease the social disparity that is present in contemporary scenario. The objective of this work is to apply the Indices from Ethos Institute for Business and Social Responsibility in an enterprise that had adopted a new way of social approach: the Economy of Sharing. From de application of these indices, there will be possible to measure and to identify the actions developed by this enterprise, as well as to evaluate if the practice of these social actions considers Business and Social Responsibility precepts.

Proporções áureas em crânios humanos esqueletizados / Golden proportion in human skulls skeletonized

Brito, Liz Magalhães 31 January 2013 (has links)
As proporções na face e no corpo humano são analisadas desde a antiguidade, a exemplo do Homem Vitruviano de Leonardo da Vince. A existência das proporções Divinas ou proporções áureas em crânios esqueletizados é um campo de estudo que apresenta um potencial colaborador para as áreas de sobreposição de imagens, reconstrução facial e identificação forense. O objetivo deste trabalho é estabelecer parâmetros antropométricos regionais baseados nas proporções áureas, instituindo coeficientes e índices faciais específicos para a amostra composta por sessenta crânios esqueletizados (n=60), oriundos do Instituto Médico Legal da Bahia. As mensurações foram realizadas diretamente sobre o crânio utilizando paquímetros digitais. Foram selecionadas 14 medidas craniométricas diferentes e a partir delas foram calculados 06 relações horizontais, 04 verticais e 06 índices faciais. Os dados foram tabulados e descritos por valores de média e desvio padrão, utilizou-se o intervalo de confiança da média (p<0,05). A proporção áurea (1,618) não foi encontrada na população examinada, entretanto foi possível estabelecer índices faciais e coeficientes próprios para as medidas, construindo parâmetros antropométricos regionais baseados nas proporções estudadas. A proporção altura da cabeça em relação a altura da face (V-GN/N-GN) igual a 1,69 foi a variável que mais se aproximou do número de ouro e a relação entre a altura nasal ser igual a metade da altura da face (N-SN=N-GN/2) como valor de 0,92 foi a variável que mais se aproximou entre as igualdades. Admiti-se que a partir de uma medida é possível alcançar a outra utilizando os índices faciais e as retas de regressão calculadas. Este estudo fornece indicadores úteis, pois busca estabelecer proporções nos crânios que são reproduzíveis na face, contribuindo para o aperfeiçoamento das técnicas auxiliares de Reconstrução Facial e Sobreposição de Imagens em estudos futuros. / The proportions of the human face and body have been studied since, at least, Leonardo da Vinci and his Vitruvian Man. The existence of divine or Golden Ratios in human skulls may collaborate with Image Superposition, Facial Reconstruction and Forensics Identification. The goal of this study is establishing regional anthropometrics parameters based on golden ratios, using specifics facial coefficients and indexes for sixty skulls (n=60), obtained from Institute of Legal Medicine of Bahia, BRA. The measurements were done directly over the skull using a digital pachymeter. Fourteen different measurements were selected and, from them, 06 horizontals and 04 verticals relations and 06 facial indexes were calculated. The data was charted and described by average and standard deviation. An average confidence interval was used (p<0,05).The golden ratio (1,618) has not been found among the population analyzed, however was possible establishing facial indexes and coefficients for the measurements, building regional anthropometric parameters based on the studied proportions. The proportion height of the head related to the height of the face (V-GN/N-GN) equal to 1,69 was the closest variable to the golden number and the relation between nasal height being equal to half a height of the face (N-SN=N-GN/2) as 0,92 was the closest variable between equalities. Admitting that from one measurement to another can be achieved using the facial indexes facial and linear regression calculated. This study provides useful indicators since tries to establish proportions on the skull that can be reproducible on the face, contributing for the improvement of auxiliary techniques of Facial Reconstruction and Images Superposition in future studies.
