No ano de 2011, a Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Rio de Janeiro adotou a Gestão Integrada da Escola (GIDE) como sistema de gestão, com foco em resultados. Esta dissertação teve como objetivo analisar as ações da rotina do Comitê GIDE, responsável por monitorar a implantação da política pública da rede estadual do Rio de Janeiro. Para implantar a GIDE nas escolas, foram selecionados Agentes de Acompanhamento da Gestão Escolar (AAGE), que são profissionais responsáveis por orientar os gestores escolares na coleta de dados, análise das variáveis que causam impacto nos resultados da escola, elaboração e acompanhamento do plano de ação. Os Agentes de Acompanhamento da Gestão Escolar são orientados por técnicos que formam o Comitê GIDE, que é o objeto de estudo da presente pesquisa. O Comitê GIDE monitora as ações dos AAGEs e a implantação do sistema nas unidades escolares. A presente pesquisa contemplou o estudo da rotina e dos principais desafios do Comitê GIDE, suas relações internas com as superintendências da Subsecretaria de Gestão de Ensino e suas relações com os Agentes de Acompanhamento da Gestão Escolar. Foram aplicados questionários aos superintendentes e aos AAGEs Representantes e, a partir dos resultados, foi proposto um Plano de Ação Educacional com o objetivo de sugerir ações para melhorar a rotina de trabalho dos técnicos do Comitê GIDE e aprimorar, de uma forma geral, os aspectos referentes às relações de trabalho com a Subsecretaria de Gestão de Ensino. / This research was developed under the Master's Graduate Professional Program in Management and Public Education Evaluation. In 2011, the Secretary of State of Rio de Janeiro Education adopted the Integrated Management School (GIDE) as management system, focusing on results. This work aimed to analyze the routine actions of GIDE Committee, responsible for monitoring the implementation of public policy of the state of Rio de Janeiro. To deploy the GIDE in schools, were selected from the School Management Monitoring Agents (AAGE), who are professionals responsible for guiding school managers in data collection, analysis of the variables that impact on school results, preparation and monitoring of the plan action. The School Management of the Monitoring Agents are guided by technicians who form the GIDE Committee, which is the object of study of this research. The GIDE Committee monitors the actions of Aages and deployment of GIDE at schools. This research included the study of the routine and the main challenges of GIDE Committee, its internal relationships with the superintendents of Education Management Secretariat and its relations with the School Management Monitoring Agents. Questionnaires were applied to superintendents and Aages representatives and from the results proposed an Educational Action Plan in order to suggest actions to improve the work routine of technicians GIDE Committee and improve, in general, the aspects concerning the working relationships with the Education Management Secretariat.

With this paper we intended to simplify deployment and management of monitoring agents for a Network Monitoring System. We found interest on the subject since the time consumed to deploy and manage agents was found to be very inefficient. During a lecture with the Swedish based company Op5 AB at the Linnaeus University in Kalmar, Sweden, we presented the complex of problem. The lecturer showed great interest in a solution on the subject and we found it to be a great thesis subject for the Bachelor degree in Computer Science. By the year of 2016 it is expected that the number of network connected devices will grow threefold, there will be four times as much IP traffic and the data storage demand will increase tenfold. [8] This growing demand will also affect the requirement on the Network Monitoring System and in turn the monitoring agents. In this paper we created a baseline, which consisted of a timing regarding the time consumption for manual deployment, configuration and management of the monitoring agents. We also developed an automated way for deployment, configuration and management of monitoring agents by integrating a Content Management Software called Puppet, combined with several scripts. To simplify the management and deployment furthermore a widget was developed for Op5’s Web based User Interface called Ninja. The developed solution was measured against the baseline and a result regarding time consumption was presented. The result fell into a discussion on the subject of automatization and the time savings that it may result in due to less frequent human errors and a less repetitive work processes.

Text in English / The organized and sophisticated way in which criminal targets conduct the crime of drug trafficking, necessitates the use of undercover agents in undercover drug trafficking criminal investigations. The goal of this research was to determine how agents should be recruited and managed for undercover drug trafficking criminal investigations. The correct recruitment and management processes when dealing with agents in undercover drug trafficking criminal investigations, which enable investigators to follow a logical sequence, was explored by the researcher. The entire recruitment process of agents in undercover drug trafficking criminal investigations was discussed, from studying the criminal target, identification of a suitable agent and then the recruitment process itself. Legal aspects and administrative processes to be utilized to manage agents were discussed. The researcher utilized national and international literature sources to gather new and current information on the recruitment of agents in undercover drug trafficking investigations. Interviews were conducted with retired and experienced former South African Police Service (SAPS) officials who managed and recruited agents during their employment in the SAPS. The general purpose of this research was to provide practical recommendations on the best practices for the recruitment and management of agents in undercover drug trafficking criminal investigations. / Police Practice / M.Tech.
