nÃo hà / A gestÃo ambiental tem sido uma ferramenta relevante para a orientaÃÃo de instituiÃÃes pÃblicas e privadas, incluindo o setor da educaÃÃo representado pelas InstituiÃÃes de Ensino Superior (IES). Por meio da implementaÃÃo de sistemas de gestÃo ambiental (SGA) à possÃvel adotar procedimentos para minimizar impactos gerados pela rotina de atividades realizadas em um Campus UniversitÃrio. Por esta perspectiva ambiental, buscou-se o conhecimento da realidade vivida no Campus UniversitÃrio do Pici da Universidade Federal do CearÃ. A pesquisa permitiu identificar na Ãrea fÃsica do Campus os aspectos e impactos ambientais significativos do Campus; prÃticas sustentÃveis em execuÃÃo atravÃs de projetos de extensÃo; pesquisas realizadas nas unidades operacionais e administrativas, e tambÃm, possibilitou ter uma visÃo ambiental dos gestores responsÃveis pelas atividades acadÃmicas, administrativas e operacionais. Percebeu-se a iniciativa de coordenadores de projetos de extensÃo e pesquisa em manter, melhorar e desenvolver prÃticas sustentÃveis no Campus. Observou-se, porÃm, a falta de integraÃÃo/comunicaÃÃo entre a gestÃo responsÃvel pela administraÃÃo do Campus e a maioria das aÃÃes de pesquisa e de prÃticas sustentÃveis, havendo necessidade de uma parceria mais efetiva. De posse dos dados coletados e dos estudos realizados em outras IES foi proposto um modelo de gestÃo ambiental para o Campus, baseado no ciclo do PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act). Concluiu-se que o modelo proposto poderà ser expandido para outros campi da UFC, considerando, obviamente, os impactos e a realidade de cada um. Por fim, sugeriu-se que a UFC deve revisar prÃticas de consumo, identificar fontes de desperdÃcios e minimizar os impactos ambientais gerados pelas atividades acadÃmicas, administrativas e operacionais. / Environmental management has been an relevant tool for guiding public and private institutions, including the education sector represented by the Higher Education Institutions. Through the implementation of environmental management systems (EMS) is possible to adopt procedures to minimize impacts caused by routine activities in a university campus. For this environmental perspective, was sought the knowledge of lived reality on the Campus do Pici, Federal University of Cearà (UFC).The research allowed to identify the physical area of the Campus: The significant environmental aspects and impacts of the Campus; Sustainable practices implemented through extension projects; Research conducted at operational and administrative units. The survey also allowed to have an environmental vision of the managers responsible for the academic, administrative and operational activities. Was perceived the initiative of coordinators extension projects and research to maintain, improve and develop sustainable practices on campus. Was observed, however, the lack of integration / communication between the management responsible for the administration of the campus and the majority of the shares of research and sustainable practices, recommended be more effective partnership. In possession of the collected data and studies in other higher education institutions, was proposed a model of environmental management for the campus based on the PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act). It was concluded that the proposed model could be expanded to other campuses of the UFC, considering, obviously, impact and reality of each. Finally, it was suggested that the UFC should review consumer practices, identify sources of waste and minimize environmental impacts created by academic, administrative and operational activities.

O trabalho apresenta uma avaliação dos prováveis impactos do escalonamento dos horários das aulas noturnas em uma Universidade. Neste trabalho foi investigada, a preferência dos usuários quanto às possíveis alterações nos horários de entrada de aulas, e os impactos do escalonamento na rede viária no entorno do campus. O trabalho envolveu a construção de diversos cenários de alterações nos horários de início das aulas. Os cenários foram construídos visando atender as preferências da população universitária e reduzir a interferência do pico de chegada de alunos no sistema viário. A avaliação dos impactos destes cenários no tráfego foi realizada através de simulação, com a utilização do modelo TSIS/NETSIM. As análises foram baseadas em dois indicadores de desempenho: a velocidade média e o tempo de atraso médio na rede. / The dissertation presents an assessment of the impacts of staggering classes hours at an University. It presents a survey of the student’s preferences about entrance schedule, and the impacts of the staggering classes hours on the road network around the campus. The research involved the conception of several scenarios of alternative schedules. The scenarios were conceived to attend the students preferences and to reduce the influence of peak arrival time on the surrounding road network. The impact of these scenarios on traffic operation was assessed through the simulation model TSIS/NETSIM. These analysis were based on two performance parameters: the average speed and the average delay time on the road network.

O tema escolhido justifica-se pelo interesse no aprofundamento da investigação específica sobre mobilidade em espaços de campi universitários. O estudo empírico reporta-se à mobilidade urbana do Campus Recife da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, embasado em levantamento físico e pesquisa bibliográfica. O traçado urbanístico foi analisado desde sua versão original até os dias atuais. Foram identificados os principais componentes de seu sistema viário, as modificações em seu funcionamento perante a acelerada urbanização da cidade, e as consequências causadas no seu esquema de mobilidade. O referencial teórico fundamenta-se nas teorias de planejamento urbano e sintaxe espacial em que as configurações de layout urbano geram padrões de movimento na cidade e seus sistemas viários. Foram apresentadas variantes de esquemas de mobilidade em mais cinco campi brasileiros, a título de estudo comparativo com referenciais paramétricos distintos. A hipótese foi confirmada, e para modificar a situação foram lançadas proposições técnicas priorizando equidade no uso do espaço, segurança e sustentabilidade. Foram apresentadas recomendações gerais sobre o assunto abordado: moderação do uso de veículos motorizados, estímulo a atividades ciclísticas e aos modos ativos de transporte, acessibilidade e segurança ao usuário e mitigação de condições climáticas adversas. Finalizando, concluiu-se que campi devem preservar suas características de parque, mesmo envolvidos pela malha urbana em constante crescimento. Quanto mais áreas verdes inseridas na cidade, mais aprazível o meio ambiente. O processo aqui estudado, comumente verificado em locais onde ocorre o fenômeno da conurbação, pode servir como material de pesquisa em investigações com similaridades temáticas. / This dissertation is based on the hypothesis that, in the promulgation of the Brazilian Federal Law nº. 12.587 of 3 January 2012 that regulates the guidelines of the National Policy on Urban Mobility, the campuses mobility systems need to be reviewed and adapted to the new premises. The subject matter is justified for the interest in extend specific research on mobility in university campus areas. The empirical study refers to the urban mobility on Recife Campus of Federal University of Pernambuco, based on land surveying and bibliographic research. The urban layout was analysed since its original version to the present day and were identified the road system main components, the modification to its operation by the city accelerating urbanization and the consequences caused to the mobility system. The theoretical framework is founded on the urban planning theories and space syntax where the urban layout configuration generates movement patterns in the city and its road systems. Five examples of mobility systems in Brazilian campuses were presented for purposes of comparison, with different parametric referential. The hypothesis was confirmed and to change the situation are proposed technical solutions focusing equity in the use of public space, safety and sustainability. General advices about the subject were presented, such as moderation in the use of motorized vehicles, encouraging cycling activities and human-powered transport, accessibility and safety to the user and mitigation of unfavourable weather conditions. Finalizing and closing the Dissertation, in the light of the foregoing analysis, it was concluded that campuses have to preserve their specific characteristics of park, even though surrounded by the urban network continually expanding. The more green areas inside the town, the more enjoyable the environment. The process here studied, commonly verified in areas where the conurbation phenomenon occurs, may serve as research material in investigations with thematic similarities.

What does current campus carry policy in the south look like and how has it developed though the state legislatures? Eleven out of fifty states now allow some form of campus carry and the amount of legislation introduced in states across the country is growing each year. This thesis examines the language of attempts to pass campus carry legislation at the state level throughout the south. I examine the evolution of policy language in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas and what current campus carry policy in each state looks like. The conclusions of this examination point to a moderation in policy as it passes through the legislative process, even in Republican dominated state legislatures.

Memoria para optar al título profesional de Ingeniera Agrónoma Mención Fitotecnia / Chile presenta buenas condiciones agroclimáticas para la producción de hortalizas. Dentro de este rubro, la agroindustria (congelados, enlatados, etc.) ha experimentado un aumento en los últimos años, dándole a los productos procesados un valor agregado, lo cual permite obtener mejores ingresos a los productores. El haba (Vicia faba L.) es una especie que presenta variadas características interesantes para producción en la agroindustria, no sólo para su consumo nacional, sino también para la exportación. La presente memoria es la continuación de una serie de estudios que comenzaron el año 2007 con la caracterización de las accesiones parentales de habas existentes en Chile y otras obtenidas en el extranjero. Las accesiones estudiadas presentan crecimiento determinado e indeterminado. En un estudio llevado a cabo por Ruiz (2007), se realizaron cruzamientos entre las variedades colectadas, obteniéndose varios individuos F1, provenientes de distintos cruzamientos. Dicha población de F1 se sembró la temporada siguiente, se autofecundó, y como resultado se obtuvieron las familias F2. En este estudio se presentan los resultados de los análisis de las familias F2 mencionadas anteriormente. Cada familia F2 se caracterizó a través de: a) un registro de los estados fenológicos, b) la arquitectura de la planta (hábito de crecimiento, altura de planta, altura de inserción de la primera vaina, número de ramas productivas e improductivas) y c) características de rendimiento (número de vainas por planta, número de granos por vaina, peso total de granos por planta, entre otras). Todos los parámetros analizados permitieron identificar familias, tanto de crecimiento determinado e indeterminado, con características interesantes para la agroindustria. Se recomienda seguir con el plan de mejoramiento con estas familias, con el fin de obtener nuevas variedades de habas para consumo en fresco y para la agroindustria. / Chile has good conditions for vegetable production. Within this area the food industry (frozen, canned, etc.) has increased in recent years, giving an added value to its processed products, which enables better income to farmers. The broad bean (Vicia faba L.) is a species that has several interesting features for agroindustry production, not only for domestic consumption but also for export. This report is the continuation of a series of studies that began in 2007 with the characterization of the parental accessions of broad beans that exist in Chile and that were obtained abroad. The cultivars have determinate and indeterminate growth. In a study described by Ruiz (2007), there were crosses between the collected varieties and a number of F1 individuals were obtained from the different crosses. This F1 population was cultivated the following season, it was selfed and the resulting F2 families were obtained. This study shows the results of the analysis of the F2 families mentioned above Each F2 family was characterized by: a) record of developmental stages, b) plant architecture (growth habit, plant height, first pod insertion height, number of productive and unproductive branches) and c) characteristics performance (number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, total grain weight per plant, etc.). All parameters allowed to identify determinate and indeterminate families, with interesting characteristics for the food industry. It is recommended to continue the improvement plan with these families, in order to obtain new broad bean varieties for fresh consumption and agribusiness.

The current trend in business is that the more rapidly customers are able to receive the services they require; the better the organisation can perform. However, customers’ needs are becoming progressively more complex due to the increased number of communication channels and ubiquitous business information. Serving today’s informed customers with traditional business methods have proven to be too difficult for organisations that are too rigid to change. Determining how to support business stakeholders effectively and efficiently, ranging from clients to shareholders can seem daunting; yet it does not have to be. The major objective of this study was to use a balanced scorecard (BSC) to improve an organisation’s financial perspective. A case study of the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) Polokwane campus in South Africa was used to inform the study. This study was motivated by the fact that, as much as the BSC is widely being used to align organisations’ operations to its mission and objectives, many organisations in the developing world still use traditional financial performance measurement systems. Another motivation for the study resulted from the fact that despite the strategic positioning of the TUT Polokwane campus in Limpopo province, the campus is still failing to attract potential students and high-calibre staff. The study modified the BSC for non-profit organisations (Kaplan & Norton, 2001) to come up with a conceptual framework that suits the TUT Polokwane campus environment. Secondary and primary data were used. Secondary data was obtained by reviewing relevant documentation that contributed to identifying key performance measures. These measures were used to develop the instrument for collecting primary data. Primary data was analysed quantitatively. The results of the study showed that many of the questionnaire items were good. Three of the six hypothesised relationships between the six constructs and the improvement of the financial perspective were fully supported, while the other three were partially supported. Relevant modifications were made to the measuring items and consequently, the BSC. The modified BSC that was a result of this study can be used as a reference framework by universities that wish to implement it within their settings. To the management of the TUT Polokwane campus this study will serve as a standard to set the business operations congruent to the university’s mission and vision. This study recommends that future research should consider using longitudinal surveys since users’ perception and customer needs change as the business environment changes. The study also emphasised the need for continuous review and modification of the resultant BSC that will be introduced at the campus in order to cope with the ever-increasing changes in business and technological developments. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Business Management / unrestricted

Master of Landscape Architecture / Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional and Community Planning / Stephanie A. Rolley / Landscape architects have the opportunity to compose a setting in which certain types of socialization may prosper by altering the environment to improve opportunities for socialization. Socialization, or interpersonal contact, is a primary determinant in the formation of individual characteristics and behavior. The experiences to which one is exposed contribute to personal development and are affected by environmental stimuli. The purpose of this thesis is to document the design process of a project that has enhancement of socialization as the primary goal. This study includes a review of the existing literature to determine the design elements that can improve socialization in the designed environment employing the theories of Randolph Hester (1975), Clare Cooper Marcus with Trudy Wischemann (1998) and William “Holly” Whyte (1980). These design elements are categorized by the types of socialization that they can facilitate: manifest, latent, and spontaneous interaction. Next, a case study of Spaights Plaza on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus was conducted to define the current socialization levels among university users. A new design addressing socialization elements was drafted, and a comparative analysis of the existing and proposed designs concludes the thesis.

Master of Regional and Community Planning / Department of Landscape Architecture/Regional & Community Planning / Gregory Newmark / Concerns about climate change, environmental impacts and resources needed for transportation infrastructure, require new and different approaches to planning, designing, and operating transportation solutions on a global scale. College campuses are prime locations to focus on various methods of sustainable transportation, specifically walking and bicycling and the related infrastructures needed for these systems. The necessary infrastructures for these modes of transportation are different than the conventional road system utilized by automobiles. As a result, cities, planners, campuses, and the individuals who will be traveling must understand why changes to transportation infrastructures are important. This may require a mindset change before it becomes incorporated in their everyday lives. Universities can play a large role in this by offering increased infrastructure for bicycling. This paper examines the travel behaviors of students that live on campus at Kansas State University Campus in Manhattan and examines their bicycle ownership and usage habits, through the use of a survey. The survey results suggest that the Jardine Apartments is the area most used for bicycle travel. The survey provides the most perceived prevalent impediments to cycling more often as well as the top elements the University could utilize to promote cycling. This report conducted three binomial logistic regression models to predict bicycle ownership and usage. It was found that being male, residing in the Jardine Apartments, and having a high bicycle comfort level are all important factors.
