Universiteto vaidmuo ilgainiui kinta. Tam įtakos turi universitetų funkcijų kaitos poreikis – nepakanka kurti ir perduoti žinias, būtinas žinių ekonomikos vystymuisi. Universiteto veikla reikalauja persiorientavimo nuo procesų link rezultato, ypač ieškant jo veiklos naudos visuomenei. Tai reiškia, kad universitetas, siekdamas veikti kintančiomis sąlygomis, turi elgtis socialiai atsakingai. Šia disertacija siekiama ištirti socialinę atsakomybę (toliau – SA) universiteto mokslinės veiklos valdyme. Pasirinkta tyrimo strategija – grindžiamoji teorija, kuri leido suformuluoti empiriniais duomenimis grįstas teorines prielaidas. Disertacijoje nagrinėjama SA samprata prasmės ir turinio kitimo aspektais, taip pat parodoma SA transformacijos chronologinė raida, išskiriami SA tipai, apibendrinami tyrimai nuo įmonės SA link viešojo sektoriaus SA. Taip pat analizuojama universiteto SA ir jos tipai, SA įtaka universiteto organizacinei kultūrai, pateikiami keli gerosios patirties pavyzdžiai. Ši dalis baigiama įvadu į universiteto mokslinės veiklos socialinį vaidmenį ir mokslininko elgesį. Toliau paaiškinamas SA diegimas etikos priemonėmis, pradedant nuo vertybių institucionalizavimo, sąmoningumo formavimo ir vedant link SA realizavimo universiteto strategijoje. Taip pat pateikiami gauti empirinio tyrimo rezultatai pagal tyrimo klausimus ir jų analizė. / The role of a university develops over time in response to both internal and external pressures. Higher education is now influenced by the need to change even its central functions and mindset – it is no longer sufficient to create and transfer knowledge, necessary for the development of knowledge economy. The performance of a university requires a refocusing from process to outcomes, notably in quest of societal benefit. It means that a university, seeking to operate in a changing environment, should behave in as socially responsible a way as society expects. The aim of this dissertation is to study social responsibility (SR) in the management of university research performance. The selected research strategy – it is the grounded theory which enabled to provide theoretically empirical data-based assumptions. The doctoral dissertation analyses the aspects of altering meaning and scope of the concept of SR, while showing the chronological development of the transformation of SR and types of SR. It also summarises studies, from SR of business to SR of the public sector. Then it analyses university SR and its types; the influence of SR on organisational culture at university; and introduces some examples of good university practice. This part ends with an introduction to the university‘s social role in research performance and the behaviour of the researcher. Also, it refers to the implementation of SR by ethical means, starting from the institutionalisation of values, the... [to full text]

Embora a empresa matriz esteja presente em inúmeros países, a filial local, chamada neste estudo de Íntegra, é a primeira, fora do país de origem que possui a operação de um campo de petróleo. A análise realizada não foi feita diretamente sobre o processo de implantação do sistema de gestão na prática, mas sim sobre as percepções sobre o tema e os assuntos que este envolve, focando em entender como as partes interessadas entendem a gestão de integridade. O método empregado para o desenvolvimento do trabalho foi o de estudo de caso e a problemática estudada foi a influência dos aspectos culturais e o processo de internacionalização da empresa na implantação dos processos necessários à gestão de integridade de ativos. A fim de reunir material para a elaboração do trabalho, foi realizada pesquisa de campo, onde através de entrevistas com funcionários e prestadores de serviço da Íntegra foram colhidos depoimentos que propiciaram o entendimento da forma como estes viam a condução da implantação de processos na empresa. A confrontação da teoria disponível no meio acadêmico com os dados coletados na pesquisa de campo indicou alguns desafios culturais a serem considerados na implantação do processo de gestão, como os ligados às visões de prazo e aos valores e práticas coletivistas. O trabalho propõe uma discussão especial sobre o papel da liderança para fazer frente a esses desafios. / This research is presented as final study on the conclusion of the Executive Master Degree on Business Administration and shows the implementation process of an asset integrity management system, on the Brazilian branch of an international organization with broad experience on the oil and gas sector. Although the parent company, is represented and has business on many locations worldwide, the Brazilian branch, on this research called Integra, is the first and the only one which is an oil field operator. The analysis carried out did not have the objective to evaluate the implementation of the management process in real terms, but intended to collect perceptions around the topic and have a discussion involving correlated matters, which are important for the implementation process, focusing on understanding how stakeholders see the integrity management area. The methodology applied to develop this research work was a case study and problem which was the focus of the study was how the cultural aspect and internationalization process ongoing influence the implementation of the work process required having in place an asset management system. In order to gather study material, it was carried out a field research by interviewing Integra’s employees and contractors. As a result, it was collected testimonials that allowed a good understanding of how those people view the implementation process of several processes in the company. In light of the available academic theory, the material collected on the field research was analyzed and it was concluded that leadership was the biggest challenge and should be focus for the implementation of a management system for asset integrity. Other aspects like vision term and collectivism showed to be important as well and are to be well considered on the current company’s phase

Increased participation in various social media platforms have led to large amounts of user data being generated, creating an opportunity for businesses that run the platforms to store and sell the data. This has created a situation where users are forced to weigh the benefits of using the platforms against sharing their personal information, which is a risk to their privacy. To address this issue, this study investigates how users weigh usability benefits against the perceived risks of sharing personal information. A case study was conducted on platforms run by Facebook (FP). Data collection was done through interviews and by gathering previous research before the result was analyzed using a qualitative method. The interview questions addressed usefulness, perceived risk and integrity management and were, among other research, formulated from the Technology Acceptance Model. The study made several interesting findings about usefulness, users’ need for integrity and how they perceive and tolerate various risks. Conclusions could then be drawn about how these findings affect users’ decision making process regarding their intention to use FP.

La plupart des grandes villes modernes mondiales souffrent des conséquences de la pollution et des bouchons. Une solution à ce problème serait de réglementer l'accès aux centres-villes pour les voitures personnelles en faveur d'un système de transports publics constitués de navettes autonomes propulsées par une énergie n'engendrant pas de pollution gazeuse. Celles-ci pourraient desservir les usagers à la demande, en étant déroutées en fonction des appels de ceux-ci. Ces véhicules pourraient également être utilisés afin de desservir de grands sites industriels, ou bien des sites sensibles dont l'accès, restreint, doit être contrôlé. Afin de parvenir à réaliser cet objectif, un véhicule devra être capable de se localiser dans sa zone de travail. Une bonne partie des méthodes de localisation reprises par la communauté scientifique se basent sur des méthodes de type "Simultaneous Localization and Mapping" (SLAM). Ces méthodes sont capables de construire dynamiquement une carte de l'environnement ainsi que de localiser un véhicule dans une telle carte. Bien que celles-ci aient démontré leur robustesse, dans la plupart des implémentations, le partage d'une carte commune entre plusieurs robots peut s'avérer problématique. En outre, ces méthodes n'utilisent fréquemment aucune information existant au préalable et construisent la carte de leur environnement à partir de zéro.Nous souhaitons lever ces limitations, et proposons d'utiliser des cartes de type sémantique, qui existent au-préalable, par exemple comme OpenStreetMap, comme carte de base afin de se localiser. Ce type de carte contient la position de panneaux de signalisation, de feux tricolores, de murs de bâtiments etc... De telles cartes viennent presque à-coup-sûr avec des imprécisions de position, des erreurs au niveau des éléments qu'elles contiennent, par exemple des éléments réels peuvent manquer dans les données de la carte, ou bien des éléments stockés dans celles-ci peuvent ne plus exister. Afin de gérer de telles erreurs dans les données de la carte, et de permettre à un véhicule autonome de s'y localiser, nous proposons un nouveau paradigme. Tout d'abord, afin de gérer le problème de sur-convergence classique dans les techniques de fusion de données (filtre de Kalman), ainsi que le problème de mise à l'échelle, nous proposons de gérer l'intégralité de la carte par un filtre à Intersection de Covariance Partitionnée. Nous proposons également d'effacer des éléments inexistant des données de la carte en estimant leur probabilité d'existence, calculée en se basant sur les détections de ceux-ci par les capteurs du véhicule, et supprimant ceux doté d'une probabilité trop faible. Enfin, nous proposons de scanner périodiquement la totalité des données capteur pour y chercher de nouveaux amers potentiels que la carte n'intègre pas encore dans ses données, et de les y ajouter. Des expérimentations montrent la faisabilité d'un tel concept de carte dynamique de haut niveau qui serait mise à jour au-vol. / Most large modern cities in the world nowadays suffer from pollution and traffic jams. A possible solution to this problem could be to regulate personnal car access into center downtown, and possibly replace public transportations by pollution-free autonomous vehicles, that could dynamically change their planned trajectory to transport people in a fully on-demand scenario. These vehicles could be used also to transport employees in a large industrial facility or in a regulated access critical infrastructure area. In order to perform such a task, a vehicle should be able to localize itself in its area of operation. Most current popular localization methods in such an environment are based on so-called "Simultaneous Localization and Maping" (SLAM) methods. They are able to dynamically construct a map of the environment, and to locate such a vehicle inside this map. Although these methods demonstrated their robustness, most of the implementations lack to use a map that would allow sharing over vehicles (map size, structure, etc...). On top of that, these methods frequently do not take into account already existing information such as an existing city map and rather construct it from scratch. In order to go beyond these limitations, we propose to use in the end semantic high-level maps, such as OpenStreetMap as a-priori map, and to allow the vehicle to localize based on such a map. They can contain the location of roads, traffic signs and traffic lights, buildings etc... Such kind of maps almost always come with some degree of imprecision (mostly in position), they also can be wrong, lacking existing but undescribed elements (landmarks), or containing in their data elements that do not exist anymore. In order to manage such imperfections in the collected data, and to allow a vehicle to localize based on such data, we propose a new strategy. Firstly, to manage the classical problem of data incest in data fusion in the presence of strong correlations, together with the map scalability problem, we propose to manage the whole map using a Split Covariance Intersection filter. We also propose to remove possibly absent landmarks still present in map data by estimating their probability of being there based on vehicle sensor detections, and to remove those with a low score. Finally, we propose to periodically scan sensor data to detect possible new landmarks that the map does not include yet, and proceed to their integration into map data. Experiments show the feasibility of such a concept of dynamic high level map that could be updated on-the-fly.
