No. of bitstreams: 1 DISSERTACAO.pdf: 130882 bytes, checksum: 6474309186b9887314770f165730f9fc (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-12-01 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The present study has as aim analyzing the educational practices developed by the Health Community Agents from two of the Presidente Prudente s Family Health Teams. This programme is considered a new model on basic health attention and contains a more humanized approach with greater influencing power on the family environment, in addition to promoting social-reality-transforming practices. The theoretical reference which gives this study support is the popular health education. It has been chosen the qualitative approach, through a case study, making use of bibliographic living and recorded sources. It consists on documents analysis which verse about the implementation of the programme in the municipality and on semi-structured interviews, whose material was grouped in common topics and interpreted from a theoretical referential viewpoint raised to the analysis of the problem. It highlights, as main results, information that many Community Agents are introduced to their occupations possessing precarious training and the scarce process of continued education; the educational actions described, which range from individual follow-up during home visits to interventions with groups of hypertension patients, diabetics, pregnant women, remaining the focus of these interventions still much too attached to the programmes standardized by health authorities, with prescribing obliquity. It was verified that users of the programme compliment the teams proximity to the community, acknowledge the importance of their job, but request more doctors, more medicines and less disassembling in the groups, since there is a great potion of ill people in Brazil who protest for assistance and quality in the service. It concludes that when it comes to group activities there is concern towards the programmes in the agenda, lacking of integrality in the educational actions, since these latter are reduced to lecturing. These are insufficient actions, when promoting the population s autonomy and understanding is the aim. However it is observed that the Health Community Agent can promote social support to the user, favoring new contacts, helping in the access to health services. The Health Community Agent enlarges the patients Social Network with empathy and solidarity, making possible better living and health conditions to people, contributing, consequently, to the humanization of the Family Health Programme. / A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar as ações educacionais desenvolvidas pelos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde de duas Equipes de Saúde da Família de Presidente Prudente. Esse programa é considerado um novo modelo de atenção básica à saúde e tem uma abordagem mais humanizada e com maior poder de penetração no universo familiar, além de promover práticas transformadoras da realidade social. O referencial teórico que dá sustentação a esse estudo é o da educação popular em saúde. Optou-se pelo enfoque qualitativo, por meio de um estudo de caso, utilizando fontes bibliográficas, documentais e vivas. Consta de análise de documentos que versam sobre a implantação do programa no município e de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, cujo material foi agrupado em temas comuns e interpretado à luz do referencial teórico levantado para análise do problema. Aponta, como principais resultados, a informação de que muitos Agentes Comunitários são lançados a sua jornada de trabalho, com treinamentos precários e escasso processo de educação continuada; as ações educativas descritas, que vão desde o acompanhamento individual nas visitas domiciliares a intervenções com grupos de hipertensos, diabéticos, gestantes, ficando o foco das mesmas ainda muito preso aos programas padronizados pelas instâncias superiores do setor de saúde, com um viés prescritivo. Verificou-se que os usuários elogiam a aproximação da equipe à comunidade, reconhecem a importância do trabalho, mas solicitam mais médicos, mais remédios e menos desmontes nas equipes, já que há uma grande parcela de pessoas doentes no Brasil, que clamam por assistência e qualidade no atendimento. Conclui que, quando se reporta a atividades grupais, há uma preocupação com os programas em pauta, faltando integralidade nas ações educativas, já que essas são reduzidas a palestras. São ações insuficientes, quando se quer promover a autonomia e a conscientização da população. No entanto observa-se que o Agente Comunitário de Saúde pode promover apoio social ao usuário, favorecer-lhe novos contatos, ajudá-lo no acesso a serviços de saúde. Amplia a Rede Social do paciente com empatia e solidariedade, possibilitando melhores condições de vida e saúde às pessoas, colaborando, conseqüentemente, na humanização do Programa Saúde da Família.

Böhmová, Z.; Adam and Eve - nudity in Art and what to do with it in art education. [Diploma thesis] Prague 2015 - Charles University, Faculty of education, 106 pages. This thesis is analysing nudity by comparing religious, moral and political documents with perception of everyday reality and artistic portrayal. It follows the changes of paradigm of nudity in European culture since the start of Christianity. The objective of this thesis is to find the roots of connection between nudity and abashment. It finds the origins of finding nudity erotic and its connection with pornography. In the didactic part it tries to introduce this topic into visual arts education, defining this idea throughout artistic activities and comprehension of the changes in perception of naked body in modern painting. With the use of the medium of painting the semiotic character of nudity is being researched as well as the signs that reference nudity.

The aim of this thesis is to explore Bernard Williams' moral philosophy in its entirety. This objective is motivated by the critique which is sometimes being forced against Williams. This criticism is based on the objection that his thinking is thoroughly destructive in relation to philosophical ethics. The purpose to explore Williams' thinking in its entirety implicitly questions such an objection for it basically consists in the identification of the constructive moments of Williams' thinking and linking them with his skeptical attitudes. Accordingly, the project of this thesis is to show how Williams' attack on morality and moral system is being completed in notions of shame, truthfulness, and authenticity, which he develops in his late work and which delineate the alternative conception of ethics and ethical life to prevailing legalistic model.

Detta examensarbete har utförts vid högskoleingenjörsprogrammet Byggteknik och design vid Kungliga Tekniska högskolan och i samarbete med Ramböll Sverige. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka och analysera dagens ytterväggskonstruktioner för framtidens energieffektiva flerbostadshus.  Ytterväggskonstruktionen som är en del i byggnadens klimatskal, har en viktig och betydelsefull funktion för att kunna klara av framtida byggnaders energikrav. För att en väggkonstruktion ska fungera finns det en rad andra påverkande faktorer som måste tas hänsyn till. Därför kommer examensarbetet att fokusera på ytterväggskonstruktioners byggfysikaliska egenskaper såsom lufttäthet, fukt, uppbyggnad och beständighet. För att kunna lösa uppgiften har vi varit i kontakt med åtta olika byggnadsentreprenörer i Stockholmsområdet och utfört studiebesök ute i produktionen. Det finns flera faktorer som styr valet av ytterväggskonstruktion för projektet och på grund av detta finns det en rad olika typer av ytterväggskonstruktioner som används i dagens byggande av flerbostadshus. I vår jämförelse mellan sex olika ytterväggskonstruktioner har vi analyserat byggfysikaliska egenskaper och produktionsmetoder utifrån samma grundparametrar. Eftersom ytterväggarna skiljer sig mellan lätt respektive tung stomme har vi valt att presentera en från varje kategori. Enligt vår bedömning i vår analys har vi kommit fram till att en lätt utfackningsvägg med stålregelstomme och en tung väggkonstruktion med platsgjuten skalväggsstomme har de bästa förutsättningarna för att i framtiden utgöra de främsta alternativen inom ytterväggskonstruktioner för flerbostadshus.Rapporten är skriven för läsare som antas ha viss kunskap inom området byggteknik, dvs. den riktar sig främst till intressenter till byggbranschen och studenter inom området. / This thesis has been carried out at the Bachelor's program of construction engineering and design at the Royal Institute of Technology and in collaboration with Ramböll Sweden. The purpose of this report is to examine and analyze today's outer wall structures for the future of energy efficient buildings. The outer wall construction that is part of the building envelope has an important and significant flaw to meet future energy requirements of buildings. For a long time different wall construction projects have been designed to create wall panels with low U-values. For a wall structure to function, there are a number of confounding factors to be taken into account. Therefore, the thesis will focus on outer wall structure building physical properties such as air density, moisture, structure and stability.  In order to solve the task we have been in contact with eight different contractors in the Stockholm area and conducted field trips out in production. There are several factors that determine the choice of exterior wall construction for the project and because of this there are a number of different types of exterior wall structures used in today's construction of apartment buildings. In our comparison of six different wall constructions, we have analyzed the construction of physical characteristics and production methods on the same basic parameters. Since the outer walls differ between light and heavy body, we have chosen to present one from each class. Our conclusion is that a light stud walls with steel stud frame and a heavy wall construction with in-situ shell wall structure is best equipped to continue being the main option in exterior wall construction for apartment buildings. The report is written for readers who knowledgeable in the field of building technology, i.e. it is mainly addressed to interested parties in the construction industry and students in the field.

This study has the purpose to investigate the existing state of adoption of blockchain technology in higher education, exploring the obstacles, and potential associated with its implementation to provide an updated and concise overview of the challenges and assess the feasibility of adopting blockchain in higher education.This research includes a literature review to examine the current status of blockchain in higher education. Additionally, a qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews is utilized to gain an in-depth understanding of blockchain adoption, the potential challenges of its adopting, and its prospects within higher education by investigating the perspective of the interviewed academic community.Furthermore, the TOE framework is used to categorize adoption challenges into technical, organizational, and environmental dimensions. Challenges identified include technical complexity, resistance to change, financial constraints, perception of immaturity, lack of awareness, limited interoperability, insufficient skills, inadequate organizational support, regulatory compliance, cultural factors, and ecosystem readiness.Besides, the TAM is utilized to highlight the potential of blockchain based on respondents’views. It also explores how challenges from the TOE framework impact users’ perceptions of blockchain’s ease of use and usefulness in higher education. The overall findings indicate that adopting blockchain in higher education presents challenges such as resistance to change, cost concerns, lack of awareness, cryptocurrency bias, technical complexity, regulatory compliance, and ecosystem readiness.As a consequence, considering the identified level of readiness of universities to embrace new technologies, it is evident that blockchain is still in its early stages of recognition in higher education. However, its potential benefits are suggested such as reducing bureaucracy, enhancing communication and collaboration, improving payment systems, and ensuring secure document storage. It will require time for the full potential of blockchain to be acknowledged and accepted within the field of higher education

In composite beam design, headed stud shear connectors are commonly used to transfer longitudinal shear forces across the steel¿concrete interface. Present knowledge of the load¿slip behavior and the shear capacity of the shear stud in composite beam are limited to data obtained from the experimental push-off tests. For this purpose, an effective numerical model using the finite element method to simulate the push-off test was proposed. The model has been validated against test results and compared with data given in the current Code of Practices, i.e., BS5950, EC4, and AISC. Parametric studies using this model were preformed to investigate variations in concrete strength and shear stud diameter. The finite element model provided a better understanding to the different modes of failure observed during experimental testing and hence shear capacity of headed shear studs in solid concrete slabs

This paper presents a numerical investigation into the behaviour of headed shear stud in composite beams with profiled metal decking. A three-dimensional finite element model was developed using general purpose finite element program ABAQUS to study the behaviour of through-deck welded shear stud in the composite slabs with trapezoidal deck ribs oriented perpendicular to the beam. Both static and dynamic procedures were investigated using Drucker Prager model and Concrete Damaged Plasticity model respectively. In the dynamic procedure using ABAQUS/Explicit, the push test specimens were loaded slowly to eliminate significant inertia effects to obtain a static solution. The capacity of shear connector, load-slip behaviour and failure modes were predicted and validated against experimental results. The delamination of the profiled decking from concrete slab was captured in the numerical analysis which was observed in the experiments. ABAQUS/Explicit was found to be particularly suitable for modelling post-failure behaviour and the contact interaction between profiled decking and concrete slabs. It is concluded that this model represents the true behaviour of the headed shear stud in composite beams with profiled decking in terms of the shear connection capacity, load-slip behaviour and failure modes.

No mercado mundial existe uma visível tendência de tornar as obras mais industrializadas e racionalizadas com o objetivo de reduzir os desperdícios, acelerar a velocidade de execução das obras e garantir maior qualidade às mesmas. A adoção de elementos estruturais com certo grau de industrialização pode trazer benefícios em relação aos custos, à mão de obra, ao tempo de execução e ao impacto ambiental. Neste contexto, as estruturas mistas de aço e concreto satisfazem essa necessidade, pois tanto os elementos de aço quanto os elementos de concreto podem ser pré-fabricados, ficando apenas as etapas de içamento e montagem a serem realizadas na obra, reduzindo o uso de fôrmas e escoramentos. Os pisos mistos de aço e concreto de pequena altura caracterizam-se pelo embutimento da laje de concreto na altura do perfil de aço, sendo a principal vantagem, em relação ao piso misto convencional, a redução da altura total do composto. Portanto, este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o comportamento de pisos mistos de aço e concreto de pequena altura com laje alveolar em concreto protendido por meio de ensaios de cisalhamento direto (push-out test) e de flexão. Na solução proposta, a transferência de esforços entre o perfil de aço e a laje alveolar foi feita por meio de conectores tipo pino com cabeça e concreto moldado no local. Os resultados demonstraram-se promissores em termos de comportamento do piso misto de pequena altura, aumentando significativamente a rigidez do sistema em relação à viga de aço isolada. Em complemento, foi desenvolvida uma simulação numérica dos modelos físicos ensaiados utilizando o pacote computacional DIANA®, fundamentado no método dos elementos finitos, na qual o modelo numérico representou adequadamente o comportamento dos pisos mistos de pequena altura, permitindo análises paramétricas. / On the world market, there is a visible tendency to turn buildings construction more industrialized and rationalized in order to reduce waste, accelerate the construction speed and ensure higher quality to them. The adoption of structural elements with a degree of industrialization can bring benefits regarding costs, labor, construction time and environmental impact. In this context, steel and concrete composite structures satisfy this need, since steel and concrete elements can be prefabricated, with only lifting and mounting steps to be performed on site, reducing use of formwork and shoring. A type of slim floor system consists in precast concrete hollow core slabs supported on the lower flange of steel beams. The major advantage of this solution, compared to conventional composite beam, is reducing the overall height of the floor. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the behavior of slim floor with prestressed concrete hollow core slabs through push-out and bending tests. In the proposed solution, the transfer of forces between steel beam and hollow core slabs was made by stud bolts and cast on site concrete. The obtained results proved to be promising in terms of slim floor behavior, significantly increasing the system stiffness regarding the isolated steel beam. In addition, a numerical modeling of the studied slim floor system was developed, using finite element based software DIANA®, in which the numerical model adequately represented the behavior of the composite beam, allowing parametric analysis.
