L'investisseur islamique diffère de son homologue de type homoeconomicus, dans son approche de l'acte d'investissement. Le premier ne se base pas exclusivement, sur un critère financier pour hiérarchiser ses choix d'investissements, mais utilise aussi un critère moral et éthique afin d'évaluer l'efficacité de ses allocations financières. Ce comportement s'explique par le fait que réaliser des actes d'investissements compatibles avec l'éthique économique islamique génère un plaisir de piété chez cet investisseur. La théorie financière néo-classique ignore l'existence du plaisir de piété et son éventuel impact sur le processus de choix des investissements. Aussi, la théorie du portefeuille et son corollaire, la théorie du MEDAF, ne prennent pas en compte toutes les préférences de l'investisseur islamique. Ce dernier ne peut donc pas les utiliser pour évaluer l'efficacité de ses choix d'investissements. Afin de pallier à cette insuffisance théorique, nous proposons, à travers notre travail de recherche, de développer un modèle d'évaluation des actifs financiers, qui tient compte des spécificités de l'investissement islamique, à l'image de la réalisation des ventes à découvert, formellement interdites, ainsi que la prise en compte des aspects éthiques et moraux des portefeuilles d'investissements. Ce modèle doit permettre à l'homo-islamicus de réaliser une allocation optimale de ses ressources financières. Les principaux résultats de notre recherche montrent qu'à la différence de l'investissement socialement responsable conventionnel, l'investissement islamique est de type éthique et altruiste. Cette spécificité impose aux agences de notation Charia, de prendre en compte les niveaux de dons charitables que réalise chaque entreprise, lors du calcul de sa note éthique. Nous développons par conséquent, un modèle de notation des entreprises et des portefeuilles d'investissements qui prend en compte cette spécificité de l'investissement islamique. Par la suite, nous proposons des choix qui permettent aux investisseurs islamiques de contourner l'interdiction de réaliser des opérations de ventes à découvert conventionnelles et un modèle d'évaluation des actifs financiers islamiques. / The Islamic investor differs from its counterpart type, the homo-economicus, in its approach to the act of investment. Indeed, the first is not based solely on financial criteria to prioritize its investment choices, but also uses moral and ethical criteria to assess the effectiveness of its financial allocations. This particular behavior is explained by the fact that, performing acts of investments consistent with Islamic business ethics generates a pleasure of piety to this type of investor. The neo-classical financial theory ignores the existence of the pleasure of piety and its potential impact on the process of selecting investments. Also, portfolio theory and its corollary, the theory of CAPM do not take into account the preferences of the Islamic investor. Therefore, it is not able to use them to assess the effectiveness of its investment choices. To overcome this theoretical failure, we offer through our research, a model of asset pricing that takes into account the specificities of Islamic investment, for example, the inability to achieve a short selling and taking into account ethical and moral aspects of investment portfolios. This model should allow the homo-islamicus to achieve optimal allocation of its financial resources. The main results of our research show that unlike conventional socially responsible investment, Islamic investment is ethical and altruistic types. This specificity requires Islamic rating agencies, to take into account the levels of charitable giving that makes every business, when calculating its ethical note. We therefore develop a rating model for companies and investment portfolios that takes into consideration the specificity of Islamic investment. Subsequently, we propose two alternatives that enable Islamic investors to circumvent the prohibition to perform conventional short selling transactions. Finally, we build our Islamic assets pricing model.

Para permitir um efetivo gerenciamento de processos de negócio, o primeiro passo é o desenvolvimento de modelos de processo adequados aos objetivos das organizações. Tais modelos são utilizados para descreverem papéis e responsabilidades dos colaboradores nas organizações. Além disso, a modelagem de processos é de grande importância para documentar, entender e automatizar processos. As organizações, geralmente provêm documentos não estruturados e de difícil entendimento por parte dos analistas. Neste panorama, a modelagem de processos se torna demorada e de alto custo, podendo gerar modelos de processo que estão em desacordo com a realidade prevista pelas organizações. A extração de modelos ou fragmentos de processo a partir de descrições textuais pode contribuir para minimizar o esforço necessário à modelagem de processos. Neste contexto, esta dissertação propõe uma abordagem para identificar elementos de processo de negócio em texto em linguagem natural de forma semiautomática. Baseado no estudo de processamento de linguagem natural, foi definido um conjunto de regras de mapeamento para identificar elementos de processo em descrição textual Além disso, para avaliar as regras de mapeamento e viabilizar a abordagem proposta, foi desenvolvido um protótipo capaz de identificar elementos de processo em texto de forma semiautomática. Para medir o desempenho do protótipo proposto, foram utilizadas métricas de recuperação de informação, tais como precisão, revocação e medida-F. Além disso, foram aplicados dois questionários com o objetivo de verificar a aceitação perante os usuários. As avaliações apresentam resultados promissores. A análise de 70 textos, apresentou, em média, 73,61% de precisão, 70,15% de revocação e 71,82% de medida-F. Além disso, os resultados do primeiro e segundo questionários apresentaram, em média, 91,66% de aceitação dos participantes. A principal contribuição deste trabalho é propor regras de mapeamento para identificar elementos de processo em texto em linguagem natural para auxiliar e minimizar o tempo necessário à modelagem de processos realizada pelos analistas de processo. / To enable effective business process management, the first step is the design of appropriate process models to the organization’s objectives. These models are used to describe roles and responsibilities of the employees in an organizations. In addition, business process modeling is very important to report, understand and automate processes. However, the documentation existent in organizations about such processes is mostly unstructured and difficult to be understood by analysts. In this context, process modeling becomes highly time consuming and expensive, generating process models that do not comply with the reality of the organizations. The extracting of process models from textual descriptions may contribute to minimize the effort required in process modeling. In this context, this dissertation proposes a semi-automatic approach to identify process elements in natural language text. Based on the study of natural language processing, it was defined a set of mapping rules to identify process elements in text. In addition, in order to evaluate the mapping rules and to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach, a prototype was developed able to identify process elements in text in a semiautomatic way To measure the performance of the proposed prototype metrics were used to retrieve information such as precision, recall, and F-measure. In addition, two surveys were developed with the purpose of verifying the acceptance of the users. The evaluations present promising results. The analyses of 70 texts presented, on average, 73.61% precision, 70.15% recall and 71.82% F-measure. In addition, the results of the first and second surveys presented on average 91.66% acceptance of the participants. The main contribution of this work is to provide mapping rules for identify process elements in natural language text to support and minimize the time required for process modeling performed by process analysts.

Ele aborda aspectos referentes ao ensino da Musicografia Braille, que por sua vez, consiste na notação musical criada por Louis Braille para uso de pessoas cegas. A partir de um enfoque qualitativo, buscou-se investigar a percepção de estudantes de Música com deficiência visual e de seus respectivos professores acerca das condições atuais de aplicação da Musicografia Braille ao campo da educação musical. Por meio de entrevistas e questionários, os sujeitos relataram suas experiências, a partir das quais se pôde estabelecer um panorama sobre o ensino desse sistema de escrita. Para análise dos dados, foi utilizada a técnica de formulação do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, que visa apreender os pensamentos e as crenças comuns a uma dada população. Os dados colhidos foram discutidos mediante o stabelecimento de categorias e subcategorias concebidas a partir dos depoimentos. Nesse estudo, buscou-se também investigar e avaliar as ferramentas tecnológicas atualmente utilizadas para a produção de partituras em Braille e, de acordo com essa avaliação, foram criados procedimentos que otimizassem a transcrição de obras musicais. Com base na realização desse estudo, concluiu-se que, na atualidade, há muitos obstáculos que impedem o acesso ao ensino da Musicografia Braille, dos quais decorre a grande desinformação por parte de alunos e professores. Apontou-se para a necessidade de uma maior difusão da notação musical em Braille, tanto através de novas produções acadêmicas, quanto através de iniciativas que facilitem a implantação de acervos musicais transcritos para esse Sistema / Abstract: The current study was motivated by the author's life experience being both blind and a musician. It covers different aspects of Braille Music Writing, which is the musical notation created by Louis Braille for blind musicians. Using a qualitative approach, this study investigates the opinion of blind music students and their teachers regarding the current application of Braille Music Writing in musical education. Subjects described their experiences with Braille Music Writing through interviews and questionnaires, enabling the researcher to establish a panorama of music teaching in Braille. Data was analyzed using the technique of formulation of the General Subject Discourse that aims to extract and summarize thoughts and beliefs of a given population. Subjects' opinions were divided into categories and results were drawn from each category. In his study, the author also investigated current technological tools commonly used to produce Braille music sheets, and created a protocol to optimize musical transcription into Braille. The author concluded that there are many obstacles that currently obstruct the access of blind students and their professors to Braille Music Writing, and therefore generates misinterpretation of its potential and usage. As a consequence, the author emphasizes the need for diffusion of information regarding Braille Music writing both through its use within the university and the establishment of Braille music sheets libraries / Mestrado / Mestre em Música

From a general approach to the language notion, the concept of notation is presented as an intermediary between the verbal languages and general communication. Goodman proposes an interesting theory about notation, whose principle relates to the need at providing means to identify plays. In this work the concept of Goodman and the criteria used to define the notational structure is going to be discussed and exemplified. Then this approach is applied in discussions case, music, chemistry, painting, electronic diagram, floor plan, especially in the "literature" of the (brazilian) movimento concretista / Este trabalho diz respeito ao conceito de notação tal qual o mesmo é desenvolvido por Nelson Goodman no livro Languages of art. A partir de uma abordagem geral da noção de linguagem, o conceito de notação é apresentado entre as linguagens verbais e a comunicação em sentido amplo. Goodman propõe uma interessante teoria da notação, cujo princípio se prende na necessidade de fornecer meios para se identificar execuções. Neste trabalho será abordado e exemplificado o conceito de Goodman e os critérios utilizados para se definir uma estrutura notacional. Em seguida, esta abordagem é aplicada na discussão de casos: música, química, pintura, diagrama eletrônico, planta arquitetônica baixa e escrita, especialmente na literatura do movimento concretista.

Esse trabalho está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira realizamos a transcrição de um manuscrito inédito de Mário de Andrade intitulado \"Síncopa\", pertencente à série \"Manuscritos do autor\", do Arquivo Mário de Andrade, hoje localizado no Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros - IEB/USP. Trata-se de um conjunto de anotações diversas sobre o assunto, feitas ao longo do tempo e ajuntadas no arquivo pessoal do poeta e musicólogo. À transcrição desse conjunto acrescentei análises, contextualização das notas e articulações à bibliografia publicada do autor. Em uma segunda parte, construo minha tese sobre a síncopa do Brasil a partir do desenvolvimento das ideias e da metodologia exposta no manuscrito de Mário de Andrade, procurando sustentá-la através de análises diversas da estrutura rítmica da música popular brasileira e da síncopa em particular. / This dissertation is divided in two parts. In the first one I make a transcription of an unpublished manuscript by Mário de Andrade titled \"Syncopation\", belonging to the series \"Author\'s Manuscripts\" from the Mário de Andrade Archives, now located at the Institute of Brazilian Studies - IEB/USP. This manuscript consists in a collection of various annotations about the subject, made in several periods and gathered in the personal files of the poet and musicologist. To the transcription of this collection I added analyses, a contextualization of the annotations, and articulations with the published biography of the author. In the second part, I elaborate my thesis about syncopation in Brazil based on a development of the ideas and methodology presented in Mário de Andrade\'s manuscript, and seek to demonstrate it with various analyses of the rhythmic structure of Brazilian popular music, in particular of syncopation.

Recently cognitive principles have been discussed for Conceptual Modeling with the aim to increase domain understanding, model comprehension and modeling efficiency. In particular, the principle of Perceptual Discriminability, which discusses the visual differences of modeling constructs, reveals potential for model comprehension if human attention is influenced in a way that important modeling constructs are more easily detected, and can hence faster be processed. Yet, so far no conditions how the human gaze can be influenced have been defined and evaluated for Conceptual Modeling. This dissertation extends Perceptual Discriminability for conditions to attract human attention for those constructs that are important for model comprehension. Furthermore, these conditions are applied to constructs of two different modeling grammars in general as well as to elements of the process flow of Business Process Models. To evaluate the results a laboratory experiment of extended Perceptual Discriminability is described in which significant differences have been identified for process flow comprehension. For the demonstration of the potential of extended Perceptual Discriminability BPMN secondary notation is improved by emphasizing those constructs that are most important for model comprehension. Therefore, those constructs that are important for model comprehension have been identified within a content analysis and have been worked on according to the conditions of extended Perceptual Discriminability for those visual variables that are free for an application in secondary notation.

Whether on paper, on site or mediating between both, means for reading and writing geometry have been central to architecture: the use of compasses and rulers, strings, pins, stakes or plumb-lines enabled the analysis and reproduction of congruent figures on different surfaces since antiquity, and from the renaissance onwards, the consistent planar representation of three-dimensional shapes by means of projective geometry. Tacitly through practice, or explicitly encoded in classical geometry, the operational syntaxes of drawing instruments, real or imaginary, have determined the geometric literacies regulating the production and instruction of architecture. But making marks on the surfaces of paper, stone or the ground has recently given way to the fundamentally different sequential operations of computers as the material basis of architectural inscription. Practices which have dominated architecture since antiquity make little sense in its current reading and writing systems.  This thesis examines technologies of digital inscription in a search for literacies equivalent to those of drawn geometry. It particularly looks at programming as a form of notation in close correspondence with its material basis as a technology, and its effects on architecture. It includes prototypes and experiments, graphics, algorithms and software, together with their descriptions and theoretical analyses. While the artefacts and texts respond to the different forms, styles, interests and objectives specific to the fields and contexts in which they have originated, their fundamental purpose is always to critique and propose ways of writing and reading architecture through programming, the rationale of the research and practice they stem from. / <p>QC 20171129</p>
