This paper presents an approach for an automated calibration process for electronic control units (ECU) of power split transmissions in agricultural tractors. Today the calibration process is done manually on a prototype tractor by experts. In order to reduce development costs the calibration process is shifted from prototype testing to software modelling. Simultaneous optimization methods are used within the software modelling to calculate new parameters. The simultaneous optimization includes objective evaluation methods to evaluate the tractor behaviour. With the combination of both methods inside the software modelling, the calibration process can be automated. The success of this approach depends on the quality of the software modelling. Therefore the identification of the initial prototype behaviour and the fitting of the tractor software model is done at the beginning. At the end of the automated calibration the validation and fine-tuning of the calculated parameters are done on the real tractor. These steps are condensed to a five step automated calibration process which includes simultaneous optimization and objective evaluation methods in several applications. After the detailed discussion of this automated calibration process one function of the ECU (one transmission component) will be calibrated through this process as example.

Para isso, foi necessário verificar se as deliberações exaradas pelo TCU, cingiram-se exclusivamente ao controle de legalidade do ato administrativo, ou influenciaram, seja direta ou indiretamente, na sua parcela de mérito. Referida análise tornou-se possível por meio do mapeamento e da caracterização das competências e limites de atuação do TCU para expedir deliberações destinadas a outros órgãos da Administração Pública, bem como por meio da análise dos discursos e dos conteúdos inscritos nos acórdãos prolatados no âmbito das fiscalizações de licitações realizadas por meio do RDC. Foram abordados ainda outros instrumentos como a Lei 8.666, de 1993, lei geral das licitações no Brasil; a própria teoria da Ação Pública de Lascoumes e Le Galès e as perspectivas de instrumentos de gestão. Apesar da impossibilidade de se concluir que o TCU extrapola os limites legais em suas deliberações, há indícios de que exista atualmente certa insegurança na atuação do gestor público, aparentemente devido ao temor de ser repreendido ou penalizado pela Corte, gerando, consequentemente, certa tendência em implementar tanto as determinações quanto as recomendações expedidas pelo TCU. / The present study sought to analyze the performance of the Brasilian Federal Audit Court (Brasilian Federal Accountability Office), based on the specific research universe of inspections of biddings and contracts that were executed under the aegis of law nº 12.462, of 2011, which created the Differentiated Regime of Public Procurement (RDC). In order to do so, it was necessary to verify if the decisions issued by the TCU were limited exclusively to the control of the legality of the administrative act, or influenced, directly or indirectly, its merit. This analysis was made possible through the mapping and characterization of TCU's powers and limits to issue decisions addressed to other public agencies, as well as through the analysis of the speeches and contents included in the judgments made in the scope of the inspections of biddings and contracts that were executed under the aegis of RDC. Other instruments have been treated, such as law nº 8.666, of 1993, general biddings law in Brazil; the theory of Public Action from Lascoumes and Le Galès and the prospects of management tools. Although it is impossible to conclude that the TCU exceeds the legal limits in its decisions, there are indications that there is currently some insecurity in the performance of the public manager, apparently due to the fear of being reprimanded or penalized by the Court, thus creating a certain tendency in implement both determinations and recommendations issued by the Court.

Utilizou-se como base os procedimentos metodológicos utilizados por Carraro e Damé (2007), sendo a proxy de corrupção delineada a partir do proposto por Ferraz e Finan (2011). Nos aspectos metodológicos, utilizou-se 4 variáveis para captar nos indicadores educacionais de cada Estado brasileiro, já a corrupção se mediu através da porcentagem de recursos sobrepreçados/superfaturados detectada em auditoria realizada pelo TCU em cada obra pública que se utilizou recursos federais. Coletou-se os dados das variáveis educacionais e de controle nos sítios do IBGE e INEP, enquanto os dados relativos à corrupção foram coletados analisando-se os acórdãos exarados pelo plenário do Tribunal de Contas da União. Pelos resultados, encontrou-se que não há significância estatística entre as variáveis que permitisse corroborar com nenhuma das duas correntes teóricas básicas existentes. Recomenda-se aumentar o período de análise e buscar informações diretamente com o TCU para extrair uma maior quantidade de dados que possibilite uma análise estatística mais abrangente. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This study seeks to establish a statistical relationship between educational indicators of the Brazilian states with a corruption proxy drafted based on overpricings/overbillings audited in public constructions conducted by the Tribunal de Contas da União - TCU. It was based on the methodological procedures used by Carraro and Damé (2007), and the corruption proxy outlined based on what was proposed by Ferraz and Finan (2011). On methodological aspects, it was used four variables to capture the educational indicators of each Brazilian state, since corruption is measured by the percentage of overpriced resources detected in audit carried out by TCU in public construction that used federal resources. The data was collected of the educational and control variables in the IBGE and INEP sites, while corruption data were collected by analyzing the judgments formally drawn up by the plenary of the TCU. From the results, it was found no statistical significance among the variables that would corroborate either of the two basic existing theoretical currents. It is recommended to increase the period of analysis and search for information directly to the TCU to extract a larger amount of data that will enable a more comprehensive statistical analysis.

Transmission Control Unit (TCU) is an essential part of automatic transmission operation in modern vehicles. TCUs control the switching behavior of an automatic transmission system with a control Software, which takes direct input from the sensors as well as from the engine control unit and makes driving a vehicle much optimum and dynamic as well as provides fuel efficiency. Thus, developing intelligent and sophisticated control software for the TCUs is crucial. To ensure an optimal performance from the TCUs, proper testing of the control software has shown significant results. Software in the Loop (SIL) testing is the one that comes into the consideration when it comes to testing and verification of control software. With the increasing level of complexities in the software modules, the testing of the codes in a real hardware is very complex, risky and expensive. Whereas a SIL simulation promises to provide a much faster and effective testing system without using a real hardware and to improve the development process. This thesis evaluates the possibility of using a microcontroller simulation for the SIL simulation of control software. The simulations of Transmission Control Unit of vehicles are primarily done by building an executable for PCs. This executable differs from the actual software (hex) that’s flashed into the controller. Thus, there are two separate development processes for the simulation and the controller. To solve this, a single simulation of the controller is considered as a solution. But, simulating a whole controller is a very complex and expensive procedure which is not available explicitly. Hence, simulation of the microcontroller is a viable and affordable option at this point of time. For the purpose of simulation during this thesis work, AURIX TriCore from Infineon Technologies has been chosen as the target controller; which is a high-end microcontroller with 32-bit architecture and preferred in a lot of automotive applications. As for a simulation tool, the Universal Debug Engine from PLS GmbH has been selected for its ability to provide the required criteria. A prototype environment has been imagined and implemented which includes a Program to be flashed on the target controller, simulation of the same code into the simulator and finally, running this simulation results along with the SIL environment. The necessary criterion to run the simulation has been documented herewith.

O Estado brasileiro, que era responsável direto pelo desenvolvimento econômico e social, buscou se redefinir frente ao modelo de entidades reguladoras que emergia. Em decorrência dessa nova fisionomia estatal, a descentralização funcional ganhou ênfase resultando no aparecimento de estruturas mais flexíveis e autônomas sob a natureza de direito público com a finalidade de atuar em setores típicos de Estado. Assim, foram criadas as primeiras agências reguladoras brasileiras com objetivo de normatizar, incentivar e regular setores essenciais à sociedade. Por consequência de tais inovações, diversas áreas administrativas tiveram de serem adaptadas, sobretudo as relacionadas à atividade de controle no âmbito administrativo. Para tanto, tornou-se necessário conciliar, dentro de um escopo sistematizado, mecanismos capazes de atender as demandas oriundas do recente Estado regulador brasileiro. Com efeito, a função controle adquire relevo no sentido de evitar que tais agências reguladoras apartem-se de limites impostos por lei ou de que divirjam de suas missões institucionais. Assim, o presente trabalho investiga a atuação do controle externo exercido pelo Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) no desempenho das agências reguladoras de Estado. Diante de o assunto permear várias áreas epistemológicas, entende-se que abordá-lo sob o enfoque interdisciplinar pode estender em contribuições sobre o objeto investigado. Nesse contexto, esta dissertação visa incorporar, também, outras áreas de conhecimento. Longe de defender um isomorfismo para o arranjo regulatório brasileiro ou de promover uma saída paradigmática, esta pesquisa busca, com amparo na metodologia qualitativa e sob os enfoques exploratórios e descritivos, reunir conhecimentos e constatações no sentido de propiciar maior aproximação acerca do assunto e concorrer para o delineamento de diretrizes futuras do controle externo sobre a regulação brasileira. Destaca-se que tanto a regulação como o controle sobre o ambiente regulatório são assuntos que se encontram em desenvolvimento no contexto brasileiro, o que enseja a pertinência desta pesquisa. Em face do exposto, esta dissertação visa investigar o estado atual do controle exercido pelo TCU sobre o desempenho nas agências reguladoras de Estado – infraestrutura - com intuito de analisar e promover um debate sobre limites e (im)possibilidades dessa atuação. / With the creation of the first regulators in infrastructure, 90's, a new strategic of acting with the state to improve public governance. The Brazilian who was directly responsible for economic and social development sought to redefine itself against the regulatory model that emerged. Due to this new face state, the functional decentralization was strengthened resulting in the appearance of structures more flexible and autonomous in the nature of public law in order to operate in sectors typical of state. Thus were created the first Brazilian regulatory agencies in order to regulate, promote and regulate key sectors of society. As a result of such innovations, several administrative areas had to be adapted, especially those related to the activity under administrative control. To this end, it became necessary to combine, within a scope systematized mechanisms to meet the demands coming from the recent Brazilian regulatory state. Indeed, the control function gets relief in order to avoid such regulatory agencies to depart the limits imposed by law or that differ from their institutional missions. Thus, this paper investigates the performance of the external control exercised by the Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) in the performance on State regulatory agencies. Before the subject permeate many areas of epistemology, it is understood that approach it in the interdisciplinary approach can be extended in contributions over the investigated object. So, this paper aims to incorporate also other areas of knowledge. Without defending the arrangement an isomorphism for Brazilian regulatory or promoting an output paradigm, this research aims, qualitative methodology based on the terms and under the exploratory and descriptive approaches, gather knowledge and findings in order to provide closer on the subject and compete for the design of future guidance of external control over Brazilian regulation. It is noteworthy that both the regulation and control of the regulatory issues that are under development in the Brazilian context, which entails the relevance of this research. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the current state of the control exerted by TCU on the performance of state regulatory agencies - infrastructure - with the intention to analyze and promote argumentation, discussion about limits and (im)possibilities of acting. / Con la creación de los primeros reguladores en infraestructura, de los 90, una nueva forma estratégica de actuar el Estado para mejorar la gestión pública.

Magister Psychologiae - MPsych / Cape Town is suffering from high rates of alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems. Despite the need for effective treatment, there are insufficient AOD treatment facilities available, with barriers to AOD treatment being particularly pronounced among historically disadvantaged communities (HDCs). In addition, the high drop-out rate of patients from AOD treatment, and the finding that retention in treatment is predictive of positive outcomes, increases the necessity of retaining people who enter AOD treatment.This study therefore aimed to identify those patient-level factors impacting on the successful completion of and retention in AOD treatment. In particular, the study aimed to describe the relationship between treatment process factors (therapeutic alliance,motivation, treatment satisfaction, social support), demographic and psychological variables, and treatment completion and retention. The Texas Christian University (TCU) Treatment Model, which conceptualises the AOD treatment process, provided the theoretical framework for the study. Using a quantitative design, secondary data analysis was conducted on a section of data that was originally collected by the Medical Research Council (MRC) via a cross-sectional survey. The sample consisted of 434 individuals from HDCs who had previously entered AOD treatment. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the therapeutic alliance, treatment satisfaction, abstinence-specific social support and depression were significant predictors of treatment completion, while race,therapeutic alliance, abstinence-specific social support and anxiety were predictive of the time spent in treatment. These predictors were positively associated with treatment completion and time in treatment. Black Africans spent significantly less days in treatment than Coloured individuals, although both groups were equally likely to complete treatment. The results suggest that by strengthening the therapeutic alliance,social support and treatment satisfaction, treatment completion and retention can be improved. This can be achieved by training, ongoing monitoring of these factors during treatment, and greater involvement of supportive social networks in a patient’s recovery. The findings also point towards the need for improved service delivery for Black Africans, who confront many barriers to accessing inpatient AOD treatment.

Regulatory decisions are reflected in those documentsduring the structuring phase. According to legal requirement this documentation shall beapproved by TCU for effective concession implementation and that raises the doubt if theCourt must analyze the regulatory issues contained in it. With the aim of clarifying thisstir an empirical study was carried out with three regulatory agencies from the logisticssector: National Railroad Transportation Agency - ANTT, National WaterwayTransportation Agency - ANTAQ and National Civil Aviation Agency - ANAC. Thisarticle evaluated 40 judgments issued by TCU for the current concession structuring inthe herein mentioned sectors. The purpose was to verify if any deliberation from thisCourt has the power to intervene in regulatory subjects in which therefore the decisionmakingshould rely on the regulatory agency. / O presente trabalho visa analisar a atuação do Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) e sua possível intervenção em matéria regulatória, nos processos de concessão de serviços públicos. Para a estruturação de uma concessão é necessário que a agência reguladora produza os estudos de viabilidade e, posteriormente, publique o edital e seus anexos que servirão de base para a licitação. Durante a fase de estruturação ficam refletidos nesses documentos decisões de caráter regulatório. Por imposição legal, essa documentação precisa ser aprovada pelo TCU para a efetiva implementação da concessão. Surge então dúvida sobre se poderia a Corte de Contas intervir nas questões regulatórias ali contidas. Para esclarecer tal questão, foi realizado um estudo empírico nos processos de concessão de três agências reguladoras do setor logístico: Agência Nacional de Transportes Terrestres (ANTT), Agência Nacional de Transportes Aquaviários (ANTAQ) e Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC). Neste trabalho foram avaliados quarenta acórdãos do TCU emitidos para a estruturação de concessões atualmente em vigor, nos referidos setores. O intuito foi verificar se alguma determinação dessa Corte de Contas teve o condão de intervir em matérias de caráter regulatório e que, portanto, deveriam ficar na alçada decisória da agência reguladora.

The Audit Court (Tribunal de Contas da União – TCU) evaluates Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES)’ performances through nine management indicators and the Education and Culture Ministry (MEC) evaluates higher education institutions (IES)’ courses, among others indicators, through the courses Students National Survey (ENADE). Among various approaches on educational assessment, the CIPP evaluation model evaluates the institution in a systematic way, with the purpose of decision making, about four points of view: context, inputs, processes and products. This research aims at investigating the CIPP evaluation model perspective, if the TCU indicators management influence the courses ENADE performance. By this work objectives, it’s an explanatory research. By the problem approach, it’s quantitative because it employs multiple linear regression analysis to investigate the independent variables’ influence (indicators management TCU, per course) on the dependent variables (ENADE courses). As the techniques employed have to indirect documentation, including therein the literature and documents, as well as direct research, including therein the empirical research within the academic units FACED, FADIR and FEAAC, Federal University of Ceará (UFC) designed to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that the courses object of analysis have different performances, however, the multiple regression analysis applied to the set of observations revealed that, among the nine TCU management indicators analyzed, only the gauge-equivalent employee per teacher-equivalent (FEPE) doesn’t influence ENADE outcomes, and the other indicators which influence ENADE outcomes, has four platforms CIPP model include variables that explain the behavior of the dependent variable. / Avaliar é uma forma de se obter feedback.

Entre as abordagens sobre avaliação educacional, tem-se o modelo CIPP, o qual avalia a instituição de forma sistêmica, com vistas à tomada de decisão, sob quatro óticas: contexto, insumos, processos e produtos. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral investigar, sob a perspectiva do modelo CIPP de avaliação, se os indicadores de gestão do TCU influenciam o desempenho dos cursos no ENADE. Portanto, quanto aos objetivos do trabalho, a pesquisa é explicativa. Quanto à abordagem do problema, é quantitativa, porque se utiliza de análise de regressão linear múltipla para investigar a influência das variáveis independentes (indicadores de gestão do TCU) sobre a variável dependente (ENADE dos cursos). Quanto às técnicas empregadas tem-se a documentação indireta, aí incluída a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, bem como a pesquisa direta, aí incluída a pesquisa empírica, no âmbito das unidades acadêmicas da Faculdade de Educação (FACED), Faculdade de Direito (FADIR) e Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Atuária e Contabilidade (FEAAC) destinada ao teste das hipóteses da pesquisa. Os resultados indicam que os cursos analisados possuem desempenhos diferentes, entretanto, a análise de regressão múltipla aplicável ao conjunto de observações revelou que, entre os nove indicadores de gestão analisados, apenas o indicador funcionário-equivalente por professor-equivalente (FEPE) não influencia o resultado do ENADE e os demais indicadores do TCU que influenciam o resultado do ENADE se inserem nas quatro plataformas do modelo CIPP.
