A falta de uma gestão mais efetiva e de uma visão sistêmica e os baixos níveis de racionalização e industrialização da produção de revestimento de argamassa no Brasil têm sido responsáveis pela alta variabilidade na produção, por índices insatisfatórios de produtividade e perdas e por problemas de qualidade do produto. Uma das etapas desse processo que permanece muito dependente da mão-de-obra é a aplicação de argamassa. Embora alguns autores sustentem que o uso da projeção mecânica para essa atividade introduza aumentos de qualidade do produto em relação ao método convencional, ainda é reduzido o número de empresas que a utiliza. Ao mesmo tempo, poucos são os estudos que abordam de forma sistêmica os possíveis ganhos em eficiência proporcionados pela mecanização dessa atividade. Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar as dificuldades e os benefícios do uso de sistemas de produção de revestimentos de fachada com aplicação mecânica e manual de argamassa através de dois estudos de caso. Para tanto, foi aplicado um método de avaliação da produção, com o qual os dois sistemas foram analisados e obtiveramse índices de produtividade e de perdas, bem como dados referentes aos custos de produção e à qualidade do produto. Além disso, o método possibilitou a identificação de oportunidades de melhoria e de barreiras à utilização de sistemas com aplicação mecânica de argamassa e aspectos relevantes à sua implantação. Os resultados apontaram que o sistema mecanizado gerou ganhos de qualidade do produto e redução nas perdas de argamassa, aumentando a confiabilidade da produção nesses aspectos. Por outro lado, o uso desse sistema não representou ganhos de produtividade na empresa. No entanto, verificou-se ainda a existência de um grande potencial de melhoria de desempenho, que poderia ser obtido com maior esforço na organização do trabalho. Apesar disso, o levantamento de custos revelou que o sistema é viável economicamente em relação ao sistema manual, principalmente em função da redução de perdas de argamassa. Pode-se concluir também que as principais barreiras à utilização de sistemas com aplicação mecânica de argamassa são a falta de visão sistêmica, a ausência ou ineficiência de projeto e de planejamento do sistema de produção e o despreparo da mão-de-obra. / The high amount of production variability and materials waste and the low productivity and quality level of rendering in Brazil are a consequence from the lack of effective management and systemic approach in the production process allied with low levels of rationalization and industrialization. The projection of mortar is still handmade and greatly influenced by labor skills. The mechanical projection has shown a great potential to increase rendering quality when compared to handmade conventional projection. Thus, a few constructors are using mortar pumps, leading to the development of studies about the feasibility and efficiency of mechanized production systems. The case studies shown in this work were done by applying an evaluation method to handmade and mechanical projection systems of rendering production to analyze cost, productivity, waste and quality levels and identify improvement opportunities. Relevant aspects of mechanical projection system implementation and its difficulties were studied. The results show that the best benefits of mechanical projection systems were the potential to increase quality and reduce the waste of mortar, thus contributing to cut the costs. However, better planning of the production system is necessary to improve the production level, even though there was a great potential to increase performance. The barriers to the use of this production technology are the lack of systemic approach, production design and management and well-trained manpower.

The work try to familiarize the users with information systems in contemporary business and show the greates weakness in the implementation of information systems in enterprises. The issue of implementation is addressed in the work from all sides and angles. First, the implementation process itself analyzed and its parts. The following are general methods applicable to software development and evaluated their use in the implementation process. In addition to the implementation process is part of the work given to the management. In the work is discusses how to look at the company's management can influence the implementation process. Another problem to be solved are the key factors influencing the course and success of implementation. In addition of these factors are mentioned the most important risks affecting various stages of implementation. Based on these risks are created by three specific scenarios which could arise in individual cases of emergency. Gradually, readers are drawn into the issue and during the actual implementation in real practice. The individual parts are reminded of the most significant weaknesses or places that none of the parties should not be underestimated. In addition to the actual weaknesses of the implementation process are discussed and two basic Casework across the entire spectrum of companies. At the conclusion of the implementation process is displayed in a graphic sketch, where the individual problems of implementation are shown in the very way the implementation process. The reader can better imagine the implementation process, including the sequence of steps. Complete implementation issue is addressed in the work of all views of interested parties. So your company owner will find thinking about the implementation, or project manager who deals with the issue. The work is based on the author's years of experience in information systems implementations themselves.

The theoretic part of my dissertation is devoted to the management by crisis and the integrated salvage system, their organization, single components and system of their management. Farther I occupy here with the chapter of supervision, namely with its function, course, role and position of supervisor and supervider. In the first part of my dissertation I mention a mediation and debriefing too as the possible options of supervision. The research objective in the practical part of my work is characterize the possibilities of a participation of supervisor or supervision into the system of the management by crisis. This part of my dissertation was worked up both by the quantitative and qualitative method. I have chosen data collection for the anonymous interrogatory. The workers of IZS in the South Bohemian Region formed the target group. 82 informants formed the total research set. The data processing was by the qualitative method by means of SWOT analysis. I surveyed two hypotheses. Hypothesis No.1 {--} The IZS workers have poor awareness of the supervision advantages and risk of its absence. In Hypothesis No.2 {--} I presumed that according to the IZS workers the supervision in the workplace is not important.

nÃo hà / A gestÃo de sistemas de EducaÃÃo a DistÃncia deve acompanhar os paradigmas da contemporaneidade, que valorizam a subjetividade em que o homem à visto como um ser multifacetado e controverso. Partindo dessa percepÃÃo foi realizado estudo cujo objetivo foi compreender o imaginÃrio da relaÃÃo entre tutor on-line e alunos de cursos superiores ofertados na modalidade à distÃncia em uma instituiÃÃo de ensino superior do sul do paÃs. Para tanto optou-se por estudo exploratÃrio, com abordagem metodolÃgica o estudo de caso. O estudo à quanti/qualitativo, dado que associa anÃlise estatÃstica à pesquisa dos significados, privilegiando melhor compreensÃo do tema estudado e a interpretaÃÃo dos dados obtidos. O instrumento de pesquisa utilizado foi composto de questÃes abertas e fechadas, aplicado a alunos e tutores on-line As questÃes objetivas de tal instrumento de pesquisa abordaram uma avaliaÃÃo do tutor pelo aluno e uma auto-avaliaÃÃo da prÃtica tutorial pelo prÃprio tutor participante. O imaginÃrio tanto dos alunos quanto dos tutores foi apreendido por meio da anÃlise do discurso das falas registradas na questÃo de fala livre, sobre a prÃtica tutorial. A anÃlise dos dados foi realizada por meio da abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Os dados quantitativos foram submetidos a tratamento estatÃstico especÃfico para a identificaÃÃo de freqÃÃncias. Jà a analise qualitativa foi baseada na analise do discurso, considerando recortes de falas significativas, utilizando a categorizaÃÃo de tais recortes. Do processo interpretativo emergiram trÃs categorias: o tutor como ser presenÃa e mediador da aprendizagem; Dialogicidade e Interatividade, e Afetividade e proximidade psicolÃgica. Tais categorias foram discutidas à luz da literatura, da observaÃÃo e da subjetividade do pesquisador. Os resultados obtidos permitiram o delineamento de uma proposta de gestÃo do sistema de tutoria on-line a ser implementada na instituiÃÃo objeto do estudo. Espera-se que a adoÃÃo de uma forma de gestÃo fundamentada no imaginÃrio, seja o inicio da inserÃÃo do novo na gestÃo de sistemas em EducaÃÃo a distÃncia. / The distance Education system management must follow the paradigms of the contemporary times, valuing the subjectivity that considers the man as a multifaceted and controversial being. From this starting perception, the present study aimed at clarifying the imaginary of the relationship between on-line tutors and undergraduate distance learning students at a university in the south area of Brazil. This study is quantitative and qualitative and associated statistic analysis with the meaning research, conferring privilege on the researched topic comprehension and the gathered data interpretation. As a research tool, a questionnaire with open and closed questions was applied to the students and on-line tutors. The closed questions dealt with the online tutor assessment by the student and a tutorial practice self-assessment by participant tutors. The studentâs imaginary, as well as the tutorsÂ, were grasped through the analyses of the discourse produced during the free speech question about the tutorial practice. The data analysis was conducted through the quantitative and qualitative approach. The quantitative data was submitted to a specific statistic treatment to make it possible to identify frequency. The qualitative analysis was based on the discourse analysis and meaningful speech excerpts were categorized and considered. From the interpretative process, three categories emerged: The tutor as present being and mediator; dialogicity and interactivity; affection and the psychological proximity. The emerged categories were discussed based on the relevant literature, the observation and the researcher subjectivity. The results allowed an on-line tutor system management proposal delineation to be implemented in the researched institution. It is expected that the adoption of this imaginary based type of management comes to be the beginning of the insertion of novelty in the distance learning system management.

The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of information about the destination of Malta in terms of tourism. The first part deals with a general description of the country: geography, population structure, political structure, etc. Subsequently, it focuses on tourism: the conditions for its development in the breakdown of stimulation, positioning and implementation, current status and performance of tourism in Malta, governance and funding from state funds and also from funds of the European Union. I examine mutual relations in the field of tourism between Malta and the Czech Republic: Czech travel agencies organizing tours to Malta and vice versa Maltese tour operators who have in their offer tours to the Czech Republic. All obtained information is finally used within the compilation of the SWOT analysis and assessment of assumptions and challenges for further tourism development in Malta.
