As budget belts tighten in the public schools today, more and more schools are moving toward participation in federal Schoolwide Title I Programs to most effectively meet the needs of struggling students. This study seeks to inform school administrators how best to approach this yearlong change initiative by both meeting the needs of the rigorous federal standards and facilitating a positive school climate for staff, students, and community. Using a Problem-Based Learning method, the purpose of this study was to research, develop, and validate a handbook for shaping school culture during a major school change project while creating or maintaining a positive school culture. The handbook was developed as a resource for principals, and will ultimately be disseminated to Oregon school leaders with the goal of improving the transition process from a Targeted-Assistance Program (TAP) to a Schoolwide Title I Program (SWP). Research and development (R&D) methodology (Borg & Gall, 1989) was used to develop and validate Moving to a Schoolwide Title I Program: The Path Principals Should Follow to Maintain a Healthy School Culture. The literature review and the researcher's experience in Title I schools provided the necessary information to build the preliminary product (prototype). Field-test reviewers used an evaluation rubric to measure efficacy, practicality, effectiveness, and impact on school climate for each section of the handbook. The handbook was reviewed by three groups: principals of Title I schools, Title I directors and coordinators, and Title I compliance officials. The handbook was then piloted by the principal of an elementary school that is currently making the transition from a TAP to a SWP. Changes in the school's curriculum and innovations in the classroom, even if they are beneficial to student learning, can be challenging to the health of the school culture. Research suggests that school culture is defined by rituals, expectations, relationships, curricular focus, co-curricular activities, decision-making processes, school requirements, and a sense of the "way we do things here" (Bower, 1966, p. 22). School culture directly impacts a school's social, emotional, and academic end results. Through conversations with educators across the state, it is evident that the transition is not always sustainable or fully implemented by all staff, and many times the efforts for change are overcome by resistance, and the momentum toward change is abandoned. The handbook promotes the idea that though collaboration, shared leadership, data driven instruction, and staff buy-in, the yearlong transition process is not only possible, but it can also positively impact a variety of aspects which make up the school culture in hopes of creating a sustainable change.

There has been much research on how people use instructional information to gain procedural knowledge. In the context of procedures involving physical objects, however, there has been little research on the role these objects play in conveying procedural information. This study investigated how people used instructions – presented as either images or text – to assemble various physical objects. Objects were selected that either comprised uniquely shaped or interchangeable parts. Participants assembled each object twice, randomly receiving either image or text instructions for each build. They then assembled each object without the instructions and made judgments about the order of the procedure from memory. Image instructions generally resulted in faster and more accurate assemblies as well as more accurate memory for procedural order. These results were found only for objects with uniquely shaped parts. An object comprising interchangeable parts was readily assembled with either instructional type. Although text alone failed to provide any advantages, the combination of images and then text resulted in more consistent mental workload, which might be beneficial in some operational contexts. These results provide insights about how physical objects influence the use of and knowledge gained from procedural instructions.

Buildings of the modern period have traditionally been absent from most architectural surveys. Part of the reason for this lies in the fact that very few guides have attempted to provide meaningful and accurate terms for post-World War II buildings, leaving surveyors without any meaningful way to categorize such structures. The purpose of this creative project, then, is to provide an accurate and meaningful means of applying style and building form categories to post-1941 architectural resources.The creative project first examines major trends in the movement to preserve and, more specifically, to document recent past resources throughout the United States. Primary and secondary sources, both popular and professional, are examined to determine the most common and appropriate labels being applied to modern architectural resources. From this, an illustrated style guide for identifying modern Indiana architecture is created.The creative project then provides a statewide survey of post-1941 architectural resources with both photographic and written documentation as an illustration of how to apply the determined styles and forms. / Project narrative -- Catalog of recent past architectural movements. / Department of Architecture

The approval of a research project results in a sense of appreciation, pleasure and well - being, even though carrying a number of concerns for the researchers, with emphasis on bureaucracy considered to be a crucial point for the resource releases. The researchers believe that this process demands planning, organization and accompaniment and it requires sta ff support with preparation to the standard rules and legislation. They report that they learned management in practice without specific training and a major difficulty is the delay in the fund liberation, which affects the research progress. They suggest new or improved administrative structure of support to management at the University, the hiring of technical support, the previous definition of the purchased equipment installation site, the creation of a supplier database for quick access, agility in research and the creation of mechanisms for greater recognition of the researcher's work. Considering that this study’s data collect was conducted prior to the publication of the Law 13,243 / 2016, we believe that some aspects worrying the very researchers of this institution may be minimized in the near future.

With the „development‟ of civilization, the image lost its natural character, which led to the configuration of a new system of symbols, from the ideogram to the rise of the alphabet, bringing about a break in the communication through images. However, with the advent of post-modernity and the advance of media culture a new concept has been established in society, a concept marked by the symbolic and by the proliferation of the image. Given the range of the theme „image‟ in the various fields of science, we delimit our analysis in terms of the religious imagination and the images contained in Teaching Manuals used in Religious Education (TMRE) from the platform of Gilbert Durand‟s symbolical hermeneutics. In this vein the research concentrated, initially, on enumerating certain theoretical presuppositions which guide and sustain the analysis undertaken with a view to strengthening its relevance in relation to the triad of the „religious imagination‟, the visual image and the teaching manual. The aim is to consolidate and collaborate with the development of research on religious symbolic representation, bearing in mind the thematic issue of the visual image in TMRE, in order to use it critically and creatively in educative spaces in schools. The findings of this research point to the guaranteed presence of the visual image in TMRE, above all in the genres of drawing, painting, photography and info-imagery, with the hegemony of photography. While the treatment of the image as an object of knowledge is outlined, therefore, as a codifier of religious symbolic representations, the predominant pedagogical use is illustrative. The general configuration of TMRE was structured on the basis of imaginary representation in the mystical-religious form, set within a theological and messianic conception of religion. / Antes do surgimento da escrita, a imagem era um meio de comunicação que contribuía para expressar as relações sociais, a cultura e a ideologia da época. Com o “desenvolvimento” da civilização, ela perdeu seu caráter natural, o que levou à configuração de um novo sistema de símbolos, desde o ideograma até o surgimento do alfabeto, que acarretou o rompimento com as comunicações de natureza imagética. Todavia, o advento da pós-modernidade e o avanço da cultura midiática estabeleceram um novo conceito de sociedade, marcado pelo simbólico e pela proliferação da imagem. Devido à abrangência do tema „imagem‟, nos vários campos do conhecimento, delimitamos nossa análise em torno do imaginário religioso nas imagens contidas nos livros didáticos de Ensino Religioso (LDER), a partir da hermenêutica simbólica de Gilberto Durand. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa concentrou-se, inicialmente, em explicitar alguns pressupostos teóricos que norteiam e dão sustentação à análise empreendida, fortalecer sua relevância sobre a tríade „imaginário religioso, imagem visual e livro didático‟ e consolidar e colaborar com o desenvolvimento de pesquisas sobre as representações simbólicas religiosas, tendo em vista refletir sobre a problemática da imagem visual no LDER, a fim de utilizá-la crítica e criativamente nos espaços educativos escolares e não escolares. Os achados de pesquisa apontaram para a presença garantida da imagem visual no LDER, sobretudo nos gêneros desenho, pintura fotografia e infoimagem, com a hegemonia da fotografia. Embora seja vislumbrado o tratamento da imagem como objeto de conhecimento, portanto, codificador de representações simbólicas religiosas, o uso pedagógico predominante é o ilustrativo. A configuração geral do LDER foi estruturada a partir de uma representação imaginária de viés místico-religioso, pautado numa concepção teológica e messiânica da religião.

A segurança dos alimentos é um aspecto importante para os animais e para os seres humanos e as legislações específicas que vêm sendo estabelecidas pelos órgãos competentes visam garantir a produção de alimentos seguros. Para verificar o nível de implementação das BPF nos fabricantes de alimentos para cães e gatos, AL VES realizou uma pesquisa em 2003 e identificou que 4 fabricantes, de uma amostra de 15, haviam implantado as BPF. Diante do nível de implementação verificado, os objetivos desta tese foram: (a) prover às organizações do segmento de alimentos para cães e gatos mecanismos para implantação das Boas Práticas de Fabricação, de modo a atender à Instrução NormativanQ 1 e as recomendações do Manual publicado pelo Sindirações/Anfal/Asbram; (b) desenvolver um banco de dados com as questões de BPF, para facilitar os processos de autoavaliação e de auditorias internas e externas. Para atender os requisitos de BPF, a metodologia proposta está classificada em 6 módulos: Edificação e Instalações, Equipamentos, Móveis e Utensílios, Manipuladores, Fluxo de Produção, Sistema de Garantia da Qualidade, Rastreabilidade de Produtos, Materiais e Matérias-Primas. A documentação para a implantação das BPF desenvolvida é composta do Manual de Boas Práticas de Fabricação, de Procedimentos Operacionais Padrão (POP), Procedimentos Padrão de Higiene Operacional (PPHO) e Instruções de Trabalho (IT). Para implantação das Boas Práticas de Fabricação, são apresentadas oito etapas, que abrangem desde o planejamento do projeto até a manutenção e melhoria do sistema de BPF. O banco de dados elaborado foi testado em 4 fabricantes de alimentos para cães e gatos. Com a metodologia, a documentação e o banco de dados elaborados neste trabalho, os fabricantes de alimentos para cães e gatos poderão implantar os requisitos das Boas Práticas de Fabricação, otimizando os meios de controle e de redução de perigos e ações preventivas e contribuindo para garantir a segurança e a qualidade dos alimentos produzidos / Abstract: The pet food industry has grown over recent years and the Ministry of Agriculture Cattle Breeding and Supply published in 2003 the Normative Instruction nQ 1, to define Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for pet food manufacturers and processors. Food safety is an important aspect both for the animals and human beings. The specific legislations determined by the competent organizations are aimed to ensure the safe foodstuffs production. To verify the leveI of GMP deployment at pet food manufacturers, AL VES conducted a research in 2003 when he identified that 4 manufacturers, out of 15 sampled, had implemented GMP. Considering the implementation leveI found, the objectives of this thesis were: (a) to provide the pet food organizations, with the implementation mechanisms of the Good Manufacturing Practices, to enable them to comply with Norrnative Instruction nQ 1 and with the recommendations contained in the Manual published by Sindiraçõesl AnfaIl Asbram; (b) to develop a database with the GMP issues, to ease the self-evaluation processes and the intemal and external audits. To attend the GMP requirements, the proposed methodology is classified in 6 modules: Building and Installations, Equipment, Fumiture and Fixtures, Handlers, Production Flow, Quality Assurance System, Products Traceability, MateriaIs and .Raw Materiais. The documentation developed for the GMP implementation contain the Manual for Good Manufacturing Practices, Standard Operational Procedures - SOP, Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures - SSOP and Working Instructions - WI. Eight steps are shown for the GMP implementation, from project planning through maintenance and improvement of the GMP system. The database prepared was tested at 4 pet food manufacturers. With the methodology, the documentation and the database developed in this study, pet food manufacturers will be able to deploy the GMP requirements, optimizing the methods for the control and reduction ofhazards and the preventive actions, which will contribute to ensure the safety and quality ofthe manufactured products / Doutorado / Tecnologia Pós-Colheita / Doutor em Engenharia Agrícola
