O caso de gestão selecionado para discussão e análise foi a implementação do Projeto de Atendimento Diferenciado aos Estudantes no Período Noturno no município de Vilhena- Rondônia. Os objetivos definidos para este estudo foram: i) descrever as Atividades Multidisciplinares por Área do Conhecimento (AMAC), bem como as dificuldades da Coordenadoria Regional de Educação de Vilhena (CRE) em monitorar a realização dessas atividades junto às escolas de sua jurisdição; ii) analisar as dificuldades enfrentadas pela CRE no acompanhemento das AMAC realizadas pelas escolas estaduais de Ensino Médio regular do período noturno no município de Vilhena. iii) propor ações para minimizar as dificuldades de acompanhamento das AMAC realizadas pelas escolas estaduais de Ensino Médio regular nas escolas da jurisdição da CRE de Vilhena-RO. Como metodologia foi utilizada a pesquisa qualitativa, sendo usados como instrumentos de coleta de dados: questionários aplicados aos estudantes para traçar o perfil dos alunos do Ensino Médio noturno, entrevistas semiestruturadas com a equipe gestora, supervisores e gestores e grupo focal com alunos e professores. Os resultados apontam que é preciso melhorar o acompanhamento e acompanhamento por parte da CRE das AMAC nas escolas. O planejamento das atividades docentes, as práticas pedagógicas para construção das AMAC precisam estar centradas nos estudantes, considerando suas especificidades, oferecendo-lhes atividades motivadoras para que eles possam se envolver mais no processo ensino e aprendizagem, compartilhando seus saberes por meio da interação. A CRE precisa oferecer formação aos docentes, às equipes gestoras sobre as AMAC, intervindo, quando necessário, para o replanejamento das atividades, avaliando as AMAC e observando os resultados internos sobre os avanços escolares com dados referentes ao abandono e reprovação, para que haja equidade de permanência dos estudantes, garantindo oportunidades aos alunos de concluir seus estudos. Para tal, foi proposto um Plano de Ação Educacional apresentando ações que possibilitarão a formação com os supervisores, gestores e professores, bem como estratégias de acompanhamento das AMAC e propostas de intervenção para melhorar o desenvolvimento das AMAC no Ensino Médio noturno nas escolas estaduais do município de Vilhena/RO. / The current thesis was developed in the scope of the Professional Maester in Management and Education Evaluation (PMMEE) of the Public Political Center and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/FUJF). The management case studied analyzed and discussed the implementation of the distinguished attendance to the Students of nighttime period of Vilhena/Rondônia City. The stablished goals to this study were: i) Describe the Multidisciplinary Activities per knowledge area (AMAC), as well as the Vilhena’s Regional Education Coordination (CRE) difficulties at monitoring the application of these activities within the schools of its jurisdiction; ii) Analyze the difficulties faced by CRE in monitoring the AMAC that were done by the state regular high schools of the nighttime period in Vilhena city. iii) Propose actions to minimalize the monitoring difficulties of the AMAC applicate by the regular state high schools within the schools of CRE Vilhena/RO jurisdiction. The methodology used was the qualitative research, being used as data collected tools: questionnaires applied to the students to trace the nighttime high school student profile; Semistructured interviews with the management team, supervisors; and focal group with students and teachers. The results indicate that is need to improve the monitoring and follow-up of the AMAC by the CRE at the schools. The teachers’ planning activities and the pedagogical practices to the AMAC’s constructions needs to be centered in the students, considering their specificities, offering them motivational activities so they can get more involved in the teaching learning process, sharing their knowledge through interaction. The CRE need to offer formation to the teachers and management teams about the AMAC, interfering, when necessary, for the re-planning of activities and evaluating the AMACs observing the inside results on the school progress with data on dropout and school failure, so that there is equity in the students permanency, ensuring the students opportunities to complete their studies. For so, was proposed an Education Action Plan that presents actions that will enable training with the supervisors, managers and teachers, as well as monitoring strategy for the AMAC and intervention proposal to improve the AMACs development in the nighttime state high schools in Vilhena/RO city.

The Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are nowadays in almost every new building, develop or improve better control strategies for them is very common, looking to have more energy efficiency and require less input parameters from the user. In this project, new control strategies based in previous theory models has been used with a new approach in order to find a good solution for irregular occupied spaces. In this new approach a feed-forward filter with a fixed preheating time, using an algorithm based on an identified model, calculates how much degrees the temperature room can be decreased and regulate the power of the radiators to do it.The results of this project displays that the chosen model have to be changed but the idea is interesting, because the simulations of the reference building give, with a preheating timeof 2 hours, around 3ºC of temperature reduction during 18 days and savings of 33% of the heat energy needed for the whole month.Considering that buildings and the residential sector currently account for 40 percent of Sweden's energy consumption and around 25 percent of other countries like USA or Spain, and that irregular spaces are more or less a 10% of the governmental, institutional, academic or public buildings, the potential savings are not negligible. The evaluation of this control strategy with its mathematical model as well as its resultsduring the month of January and the behavior of the system along the year have been made with the help of IDA program for simulation of the reference building and its energy system.

The high frequency and cost of flooding in Canada has demonstrated the need for effective risk assessment (Public Safety Canada (PSC), 2010). In response to this need, the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) developed HAZUS, a hazard risk assessment tool which relies on a geographic information system (GIS) (FEMA, 2015). Unfortunately, in many rural communities in Canada, only aggregate population data may be available. In those cases, the ability to further partition aggregated data may prove essential in generating robust and accurate risk assessments. The results of this study show that HAZUS can be adapted for use in Canada and provides a new methodology for conducting hazard estimations in areas where available data is coarsely aggregated. There was a strong relationship between nighttime light and population density. High populations were associated with developed land cover classification. These relationships can be used to increase the accuracy of HAZUS predictions. / October 2016

Com o objetivo de conhecer a prática alimentar, a atividade fÍsICA e o gasto energético de adolescentes, de ambos os sexos, inseridos ou não no mercado de trabalho, administraram-se questionários auto-aplicáveis a 273 estudantes, do período noturno, de seis escolas da Rede Estadual de Ensino de Santo André - SP. Estudantes trabalhadores (163) , ou seja, que recebiam remuneração por serviços prestados, mantinham-se em atividades ocupacionais pelo período de 40 a 50 horas semanais, percebendo de 1 a 3 salários mínimos por mês. Os meninos participavam, proporcionalmente, mais no mercado de trabalho formal que as meninas. Foram relatadas todas as atividades fisicas desempenhadas segundo número de dias por semana e horas por dia. Entre as várias atividades discriminadas, destacou-se assistir televisão, como prática comum a todos os estudantes, independentemente de gênero e de inserção ou não no trabalho. Outras atividades assinaladas mostraram-se estatisticamente independentes do fato de trabalhar ou não, porém, foi detectada, para algumas, associação com gênero, tais como prática esportiva (meninos) e afazeres domésticos (meninas) . O gasto energético diário referente à atividade física foi estimado com base nos diferentes movimentos, ponderados por tempo e nos fatores atividades da FAO/OMS/UNU. Os valores encontrados foram 3150 e 2160 Cal para estudantes masculinos e femininos, respectivamente. A prática alimentar foi analisada sob o aspecto qualitativo da dieta habitual, utilizando, como padrão, uma adaptação do Food Guide pyramid. Não foram observadas associações estatisticamente significativas entre trabalhar e apresentar dieta inadequada para os grupos de alimento de carnes e de cereais, ao contrário do verificado entre os grupos de frutas e de verduras, cujo teste estatístico indicou haver associação. / A group of 273 students of evening courses of 6 State Public schools, located in the city of Santo André, State of São Paulo, Brazil, was analyzed, aiming to know their dietary practices, physical activities and energy expenditures. One hundred and sixty three adolescents were workers and their occupational activities last for 40 to 50 hours per week; they earned from 1 to 3 living wages. Proportionally, male adolescents were more engaged in the formal workmanship than girls. All their physical activities were described and draw the attention \"watching TV\" as the most frequent for both sexes and workers or not. Other activities were statistically associated to gender but independent to the fact of being a worker (boys were more related to sports and girls to housekeeping). The daily energy expenditure related to physical activities was calculated based on the FAO/WHO/UNU movement-factors indicators, and the values of 3000 and 2100 Cal were estimated for boys and girls, respectively. Dietary practices, by the point of view of quality, were analyzed, using one adaptation of the Food Guide Pyramid. Statistical association was not found between inadequate diets and workers when meat and cereals were observed; the opposite occurred when fruits and vegetables were taken in account, statistical association was detected.

On the other hand, the water uniform application in irrigation is affected by meteorological factors that decrease the system efficiency. There has always been some concern about the quality of products and services in human history, since all products should have desirable characteristics to be accepted by consumers. Currently, development, improvement and monitoring of new management models quality during the production process have become essential for many organizations. Thus, inspection control has enhanced by statistical techniques, losses have been decreased and it was possible to stimulate some trading competition. In this context, this study aimed at evaluating the irrigation system in a conventional sprinkler using the Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient (CUC) and the index Process Capability (CP) to correlate techniques with the system efficiency as well as verify the wind influence on irrigation by Shewhart control chart and compare the results of Shewhart control charts use with the EWMA and tabular CUSUM control charts, applied in quality control of the conventional sprinkler irrigation. In this study, 60 essays were carried out on a four irrigation sprinklers system, Xcel-Wobbler model, 1.0 m height above soil and 6.0 x 6.0 m spaced. The collectors were 1.0 m spaced apart with 0.5 m height from soil. The service pressure was monitored and appropriate to the sprinklers specifications, while wind was monitored in situ by a 2.0 m high digital anemometer. In order to evaluate the system, Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient (CUC), the index Process Capability (CP), Shewhart charts (Xbarra) and the charts of exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and cumulative sum (CUSUM) were used. The irrigation sprinkler system showed the best performance and was under control when the average wind speed was less than 1.0 m s-1. The use of individual Shewhart control charts visually allowed affirming that wind has a direct influence on CUC. Night irrigation showed less variability on the studied data, when compared to daytime ones and this has resulted in greater efficiency in irrigation. The CPi index showed great similarity with the Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient (CUC). It proved to be very sensitive to efficiency sprinkler (Ea) variation and able to indicate the quality of sprinkler irrigation. The EWMA chart, when compared to the control charts, was susceptible when used in autocorrelated data, according to the occurrence of false alarms. But, to the residue data without autocorrelation (the ARIMA model), the CUSUM tabular chart was more sensitive to detect variations in irrigation due to wind speed, when compared to EWMA and Shewhart charts for the same data. In sprinkler irrigation, when there is a relation between CUC and wind speed, the Shewhart chart was more indicated by simplicity, reliability and ease of interpretation, even in the presence of autocorrelated data. / O sistema de irrigação por aspersão é muito utilizado, devido à possibilidade de elevada uniformidade de distribuição e por adaptar-se às diversas culturas e solos. Porém, a uniformidade de aplicação de água nas irrigações é afetada por fatores meteorológicos que diminuem a eficiência do sistema. A preocupação com a qualidade de produtos e serviços oferecidos sempre esteve presente na história da humanidade, pois para que os produtos fossem aceitos, deveriam possuir características desejáveis pelos consumidores. Atualmente, com o surgimento de novos modelos gerenciais, a melhoria e o monitoramento da qualidade durante o processo de produção tornaram-se uma necessidade para muitas organizações. Assim, aprimorou-se o controle da inspeção por meio de técnicas estatísticas, reduziram-se perdas e foi possível competir no mercado. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a irrigação em um sistema por aspersão convencional, utilizando o Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Christiansen (CUC), o índice de Capacidade do Processo (CP) para correlacionar as técnicas com a eficiência do sistema, verificar a influência do vento na irrigação pelo gráfico de controle de Shewhart e confrontar os resultados da utilização dos gráficos de controle de Shewhart, com os gráficos de controle MMEP e CUSUM tabular, aplicados no controle de qualidade da irrigação por aspersão convencional. Neste estudo, foram realizados 60 ensaios em um sistema de irrigação por aspersão convencional. O sistema era constituído de quatro aspersores, modelo Xcel-wobbler, altura de 1,0 m em relação ao solo e espaçamento de 6,0 x 6,0 m. Os coletores foram espaçados em 1,0 m entre si com altura de 0,5 m do solo. A pressão de serviço foi monitorada e adequada às especificações dos aspersores, e o vento monitorado in loco, por um anemômetro digital com 2,0 m de altura. Para a avaliação do sistema, foram utilizados o Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Christiansen (CUC), o índice de Capacidade do Processo (CP), gráficos de Shewhart (Xbarra) e os gráficos de média móvel exponencialmente ponderada (MMEP) e de soma cumulativa (CUSUM). O sistema de irrigação por aspersão convencional teve melhor desempenho e esteve sob controle, quando a velocidade média do vento esteve menor que 1,0 m s-1. O uso dos gráficos individuais de controle de Shewhart possibilitou afirmar visualmente que o vento tem influência direta sobre o CUC. A irrigação noturna apresentou menor variabilidade nos dados, quando comparados aos dados do período diurno e isso resultou em maior eficiência na irrigação. O índice CPi teve grande similaridade com o Coeficiente de Uniformidade de Christiansen (CUC); mostrou-se bastante sensível à variação da eficiência de aspersão (Ea) e capaz de indicar a qualidade da irrigação por aspersão. Em comparação aos gráficos de controle, o gráfico MMEP mostrou-se suscetível quando utilizado em dados autocorrelacionados, pelas ocorrências de alarmes falsos. Para dados de resíduos, sem autocorrelação (pelo modelo ARIMA), o gráfico CUSUM tabular foi mais sensível ao detectar as variações ocorridas na irrigação devido à velocidade do vento, quando comparado aos gráficos MMEP e Shewhart para os mesmos dados. Na irrigação por aspersão, relacionando CUC com velocidade do vento, o gráfico de Shewhart foi mais indicado pela simplicidade, confiabilidade e facilidade de interpretação, mesmo na presença de dados autocorrelacionados entre si.

To give a realistic impression in a driving simulator for nighttime driving, there are many challenging aspects to consider. One of the most important aspects is the illumination caused by the headlights of the own vehicle. To give a realistic impression there is the need to consider the characteristics of the headlight in use to be able to represent main and dipped beam, but also to represent different models and types of headlights. Another important aspect is the dazzling effects caused by the light cast by other vehicles upon the driver. These effects are not only important to give a realistic and visually appealing simulation, but also to simulate blinding effects which may affect the drivers ability to perceive the traffic environment to a large degree. This thesis describes methods to simulate these vital aspects of night-drive simulation in real-time using the capabilities of today's graphics cards.

Artificial nighttime lighting (ANL) is known to adversely affect animals, but little is known what the consequences are to plants. Two genotypes of Populus balsamifera, a common urban tree, were used to investigate how ANL impacts plants. While the two genotypes varied in their physiological sensitivity to ANL, poorer levels of net leaf carbon assimilation compared to control samples suggested that ANL perturbed the perception of time of day for these plants. Gene set analysis on a subset of PopGenExpress microarray samples identified time of day specific processes in P. balsamifera, and a set of candidate ANL-sensitive genes were identified from these. Transcript measurements from the two genotypes revealed that ANL affects plants at the molecular level, for the diel cycling of the putative ANL-sensitive genes was perturbed. Together, these results suggest that ANL affects plants at the physiological and molecular level by perturbing their perception of time of day.
