This semester project deals with risk management. The whole work is conceived according to the current PMI standard. This is an analysis of the ten knowledge areas and the processes involved. After explaining the basic concepts of project management, all processes are briefly described, including the individual inputs and outputs of each process. The most attention is focused on the knowledge area of risk management, which is the subject of this work. From this knowledge area, the risk planning and identification processes are analyzed in more detail according to the assignment. On the basis of these two processes was created an architecture design of application. It describes application design and implementation in PHP framework Laravel. Final part of this thesis consists of testing chapter and final conclusion where the results and possible extensions are discussed.

Il est en effet reconnu que la tendance vers la responsabilité économique, sociale et environnementale des entreprises ne peut devenir pérenne qu’avec l’implication d’une masse critique de PME. Ce constat paraît évident au regard du rôle et de la place qu’occupent ces entités dans les économies nationales et internationales. En effet, elles sont pourvoyeuses d’emploi sur le territoire. De ce fait, nous nous sommes intéressés à la question suivante : comment les dirigeants de PME perçoivent-ils le concept de la RSE et comment cela se traduit au niveau de leurs politiques et pratiques RH ? De nombreuses recherches ont mis en lumière la trop grande facilité de la RSE à se prêter à l’art du discours. Plusieurs travaux antérieurs nous ont également permis de nous interroger sur le caractère tangible, mesurable et engageant des politiques dites socialement responsables. Nous souhaitons donc, à travers ce travail, confronter les discours à la réalité des pratiques dans les PME. Le caractère exploratoire de notre recherche nous amène à choisir une méthodologie qualitative à visée compréhensive basée sur les études de cas. Des entretiens semi-directifs, un suivi sur une période de deux ans ainsi que des visites de sites ont été réalisés auprès de dirigeants de PME et ont permis d’explorer les différentes perceptions des dirigeants et les pratiques associées. / It is a known fact that the economic, social and environmental corporate responsibility trends can only be sustainable through the massive involvement of SMEs. This seems even more obvious when faced with the role that these entities play in their economy. Thus, we are interested in how SME managers perceive the concept of CSR and what that translates to in their policies and HR practices. Much research has shed light on the discursive tendencies of CSR and has led us to ask ourselves about the tangible, measurable and engaging nature of so-called socially responsible policies. Therefore, through our exploratory research, we hope to confront reality by choosing a comprehensive qualitative approach based on case studies. Semi-structured interviews, and a two-year period follow -up were carried out among SME managers and allowed the exploration of their various perceptions and associated practices.

Providing a presumptive identification of badly decomposed or skeletonized remains is the responsibility of a forensic anthropologist. An important component of identification is the estimation of a post-mortem interval (PMI) for the deceased. This information can: provide a window period for death, reduce the number of potential victims, exclude possible assailants and substantiate witness testimony. Due to a large number of open and relatively desolate fields in South Africa, human remains are frequently discovered in an advanced stage of decomposition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usability of the method of Megyesi and associates (2005) in which Total Body Score (TBS) and Accumulated Degree-Days (ADD) were retrospectively applied to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI). To achieve this, a longitudinal examination of quantitative variables, TBS and ADD, was conducted over a period of 8 months. This period included both summer and winter seasons. Scatter plots between TBS and PMI, and TBS and ADD were used to illustrate patterns in decomposition. Patterns of decay differed in winter and summer, with winter exhibiting distinct inactivity. Using Loglinear Random-effects Maximum Likelihood Regression, the r2 values for ADD (0.6227) and PMI (0.5503) for combined seasons were less than r2 values for separated seasons (ADD 0.7652; PMI 0.7677). In contrast to other studies, seasonality influenced the ADD model and PMI. Linear regression formulae for ADD and PMI as well as 95% confidence interval charts for TBS for ADD were developed. These equations, along with data from a local weather station, can be used to estimate the PMI with relative accuracy. AFRIKAANS : Verskaffing van 'n vermoedelike identifikasie van erg ontbinde of skeletale oorskot is die verantwoordelikheid van ‘n forensiese antropoloog. ‘n Belangrike deel van identifikasie is die beraming van ‘n post-mortem interval (PMI) vir die oorledene. Hierdie inligting verskaf 'n venster tydperk van dood, verminder die aantal potensiële slagoffers, sluit moontlike aanvallers uit en ondersteun getuienis. As gevolg van 'n groot aantal relatief verlate en oop velde in Suid-Afrika, word menslike oorskot dikwels aangetref in ‘n gevorderde stadium van ontbinding. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die bruikbaarheid van die metode van Megyesi en medewerkers (2005) wat gebruik maak van Totale Liggaams Telling (TLT) en Opgehoopte Graad-Dae (OGD) om die postmortem interval (PMI) te skat, terugwerkend te evalueer. Hiervoor was 'n longitudinale studie van kwantitatiewe veranderlikes, TBS en ADD, oor ‘n tydperk van 8 maande gedoen. Hierdie tydperk sluit beide somer en winter in. Verspreidingsgrafieke tussen TBS en PMI, en TBS en ADD is gebruik om patrone in ontbinding te illustreer. Ontbindingspatrone het verskil tussen winter en somer met duidelike onaktiwiteit in die winter. Logliniêre Tweekansige-effek Maksimum Waarskynlikheid Regressie was gebruik om die r2 waardes van die gekombineerde en geskeide seisoene te bepaal. The r2 waardes vir die OGD (0.6227) en PMI (0.5503) vir gekombineer seisoene was minder as die r2 waardes vir seisoene apart (OGD 0.7652; PMI 0.7677). In teenstelling met ander studies, het seisoenaliteit die OGD model en PMI beinvloed. Lineêre regressie formules vir OGD en PMI sowel as 95% vertrouensinterval kaarte vir TLT vir OGD was saamgestel. Hierdie formules saam met data vanaf ‘n plaaslike weerstasie kan gebruik word om die PMI met relatiewe akkuraatheid te skat. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Anatomy / unrestricted

Mechanical engineers have difficulties when attempting to convey three-dimensional product information in a two-dimensional style. Effective collaboration between various users requires capability to deliver standardized data in a digital format. By digitizing product information and making it available for users apart from designers, Model-Based Definition (MBD) provides a solution by defining to product digitally in a three-dimensional environment. The use of MBD in mechanical design processes can have a positive impact on cost, time, and quality of the final product. Although there are standards for defining digital products, they sometimes do not satisfy specific needs of a variety of product landscapes, necessitating company-specific rules. For a successful deployment of MBD the IT infrastructure must be mature, and a company-tailored guideline document is required to bridge current gaps from standards to corporate needs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyse software tools and verify if the IT infrastructure is ready to support transition from drawing-based engineering to model-centric practice. Changes are identified and recommendations will be given. The gained experience from creating models in CAD software along with requirements and feedback from stakeholders and users of the product and manufacturing information is input for creation of the guideline and manual for MBD data practices. This supports the company’s transition to a more efficient product definition. With release of the guideline for applying MBD, the milestone is set to sustainably rely on models instead of drawings for communicating product and manufacturing information. The applied CAD programmes provide all functions transcribing MBD according to applicable standards. The resulting data sets can be interpreted by humans and machines, bringing significant benefits when advancing to model-based enterprise where models are used in all business operations. / Maskiningenjörer och konstruktörer från av olika brancher har svårigheter när de försöker förmedla tredimensionell produktinformation på ett tvådimensionellt sätt. Ett effektivt samarbete mellan olika användare kräver kapacitet att leverera standardiserad data i digitalt format. Genom att digitalisera produktinformation och göra den tillgänglig för andra användningsområden än design ger Model-Based Definition (MBD) en lösning. Användningen av MBD i den mekaniska designprocessen kan ha en positiv inverkan på kostnaden, tiden och kvaliteten på slutprodukten. Även om det finns standarder för att definiera digitala produkter, tillfredsställer de ibland inte de specifika behoven hos en mängd olika produktlandskap, vilket kräver företagsspecifika regler. För en framgångsrik implementering av MBD måste företagets IT-infrastruktur vara mogen, och ett riktlinjedokument krävs för att överbrygga de nuvarande klyftorna från standarderna till företagets behov. Därför analyseras mjukvaruverktygen om dessa är redo att stödja övergången från ritningsbaserad teknik till modellcentrerad praktik. Förändringar identifieras och rekommendationer ges. Erfarenheten från att skapa modeller i CAD-programmen kom tillsammans med input från intressenter och användare av produktdatainmatningen för skapandet av manualen för datapraxis för digital produktdefinition. En nedströmsstudie för interoperabilitet begränsades av en grov programvara tillgänglighet. Med lanseringen av manualen för tillämpning av MBD är milstolpen satt att på ett hållbart sätt förlita sig på modeller istället för ritningar för att kommunicera produkt- och tillverkningsinformation. De tillämpade CAD-programmen tillhandahåller alla funktioner som transkriberar MBD enligt tillämpliga standarder. De resulterande datamängderna kan tolkas av människor och maskiner, vilket ger betydande fördelar när man går vidare till det modellbaserade företaget där modellen används i hela nedströmsströmmen.

In Brazil, is based on norms already edited by entities of the federation and there are many examples of its use. Nevertheless, the theme demands reflection and systematic academic research, especially in regard to its use for carrying out the preparatory phase of the biddings and of the aspects that should comply with. For this reason, the present work has as its object the study of the expression of interest in light of the Brazilian legal framework. Due to its specific characteristics and the need of proceeding with holistic analysis, the present work studies the expression of interest under various aspects. There is the need for proper planning of concessions in the country and for methods to accomplish it. The expression of interest is considered as one of the alternatives the Governmental Bodies can use to achieve the proper planning. In such context, the work characterizes the expression of interest and presents the main features of acts issued on federal, state and municipal levels concerning the mechanism, in addition to examples of its use. Furthermore, it is presented the aspects of the expression of interest as a form of extension of public biddings for the granting of concessions and as a consensual action of the Public Administration. On the other hand, the work covers the aspects that must be considered to the expression of interest be transparent, motivated and controlled / O procedimento de manifestação de interesse tem sido empregado pelos órgãos e pelas entidades da Administração Pública para receber trabalhos técnicos que podem ser utilizados para a estruturação de concessões e permissões, outorgadas com base na Lei Federal 8.987/1995 e na Lei 11.079/2004. No Brasil, possui fundamento em atos normativos já editados por entes da federação e há diversos exemplos de sua utilização. Entretanto, ainda se trata de tema que demanda reflexões e pesquisas acadêmicas sistematizadas, especialmente no que tange ao seu uso para a realização da fase preparatória das licitações e dos contornos concretos que deve tomar. Por esta razão, o presente trabalho tem por objeto o estudo do procedimento de manifestação de interesse à luz do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Devido tanto às suas particularidades quanto à necessidade de sua análise holística, optou-se por realizar o estudo sob vertentes diversas. Parte-se da constatação de necessidade de adequado planejamento de concessões no país e da forma de realizá-lo. O procedimento de manifestação de interesse é enquadrado como uma das formas à disposição da Administração Pública para tanto. Nesse bojo, é pontua-se a noção do procedimento de manifestação de interesse e expõem-se as principais características de atos normativos federais, estaduais e municipais a respeito do tema, bem como de exemplos concretos de sua utilização. Sequencialmente, são apresentados os contornos do procedimento de manifestação de interesse, encarado como forma de extensão da competição relativa à outorga de concessões e de atuação concertada do Poder Público. De outro lado, são delineados os aspectos para que seja utilizado de forma transparente, motivada e controlada

Superata la fase pionieristica, il dibattito sulla Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ha posto al centro la relazione tra CSR e competitività delle imprese. Il problema ha interessato innanzitutto le grandi imprese, ma, da qualche tempo, maggiore attenzione viene riservata alle PMI e al possibile ruolo della CSR nella creazione di vantaggio competitivo. Oggetto dell'attuale dibattito accademico, economico e politico sono, da un lato, i possibili sentieri di miglioramento dell'impegno socio-ambientale delle PMI e, dall'altro, le possibili alternative strategiche di valorizzazione della CSR in chiave competitiva. In questo contesto di grande attenzione attorno al tema CSR e PMI , si inseriscono i due progetti di ricerca presentati in questo scritto: uno, di natura quantitativa, ha per oggetto 828 PMI appartenenti ai 16 Distretti Industriali Lombardi ed ha l'obiettivo di comprendere se, e secondo quali modalità, l'appartenenza ad un distretto possa influire sulla propensione un'impresa ad adottare comportamenti socialmente responsabili; l'altro, di natura qualitativa, si propone di indagare, attraverso l'analisi di 12 casi, il possibile ruolo della CSR nella creazione di un vantaggio di differenziazione. / After the pioneer phase, the debate on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been focused on the relationship between CSR and firms' competitiveness. At the beginning, the problem mainly concerned large companies, but, later, greater attention has been paid to SMEs and to the possible role of CSR in the creation of competitive advantage. Under current academic, economic and political debate are, from one side, the possible paths to improve the socio-environmental commitment of SMEs and, from the other, the strategic choices for the competitive development of CSR practices. In this context of strong attention to the topic CSR and SMEs , the two research project presented in this work are positioned: the first one is a survey on 828 SMEs, belonging to the 16 Industrial District of Lombardy, and is claimed to understand if and how the belonging to the district can influence the firms' orientation to CSR; the second is a qualitative study on 12 SMEs and it is aimed to investigate the potential role of CSR in the creation of differentiation advantage.

There were used variables of economic growth, as PMI; and macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, stock exchange, currency and interest rates. To achieve more consistent results, there were done two different analyses. The first one has compared these variables from different countries to the Brazilian PMI; whereas the second one has separated the later analysis in different time periods, in order to differentiate the period before and after the 2009 crisis. / A proposta desta dissertação é analisar o comportamento econômico brasileiro em relação às demais economias de países emergentes e desenvolvidos, utilizando-se como metodologia a análise de componentes principais com variáveis de crescimento econômico e macroeconômicas como inflação, bolsa, moeda e juros. Visando obter uma robustez maior nos resultados foram realizados dois exercícios, primeiro buscou-se comparar o resultado obtido para o Brasil com outros países. No segundo exercício a comparação foi realizada para diferentes períodos de tempo, de maneira de separar o período em pré e pós-crise de 2009.

Supported by the detailed understanding of the existing crowdfunding model in the country and the identification and mapping of the characteristics of traditional investment instruments, this study seeks to define how the new form of investment would work and examine whether, in comparison with traditional tools, in terms of risk and return, the crowdinvesting model would be competitive in the Brazilian market. / Os projetos são frequentemente utilizados como um meio de direta ou indiretamente alcançar os objetivos do plano estratégico de uma organização e está em curso um movimento de valorização desta prática. Esta valorização da gestão por projeto é perceptível no crescente número de instituições preocupadas em disseminar a disciplina de gerenciamento de projetos, no movimento por parte dos executivos em promover a profissão do gerente de projetos e no volume de investimento financeiro dedicado a esta prática. A atual confiança neste modelo de gestão traz consigo uma alta expectativa quanto a seus resultados, que, por sua vez, exigem uma metodologia de gestão eficiente. Uma das maiores empresas brasileira é reconhecida mundialmente pela excelência em sua implantação de projetos de grande a porte financeiro. Por trás deste sucesso está uma sistemática desenvolvida internamente para a gestão de projetos. Tendo em vista a inexistência de uma instituição brasileira de práticas de projeto, qual será a aderência da sistemática da empresa a prática internacional de gestão de projetos? Este estudo de caso busca apontar os principais pontos de aderência e a dissonância entre a sistemática proposta pela empresa e a metodologia de gestão de projetos do Project Management Institute, o PMBOK.
