Prospecção geoquímica: estaurolita, ilmenita e magnetita como minerais traçadores para depósitos do tipo VMS / Chemistry prospection: staurolite, ilmenite, magnetite guide minerals for VMS deposits

Diana Magalhães Cunha Rodrigues 29 September 2011 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / A região de Itutinga foi alvo de estudos prospectivos por parte da empresa BP mineração na década de 80, onde foram encontradas mineralizações em lentes de sulfetos metálicos (Zn-Cu-Ag-Fe) associados a rochas komatiíticas peridotíticas e basaltos toleíticos (anfibolitos) do greenstone belts, nas proximidades da fazenda São Jerônimo, enquadrando-se em um depósito do tipo VMS. A partir destas informações encontradas na literatura propôs-se estudar a estaurolita, a magnetita e a ilmenita para, a partir da determinação do seu conteúdo em zinco, indicar a aplicabilidade destes três minerais como traçadores desses tipos de depósitos. Para isso foram coletadas amostras de sedimentos de corrente e concentrados de batéia na região próxima à ocorrência, no entorno da cidade de Itutinga, e também em uma região próxima a cidade de Itumirim, já que existem semelhanças litológicas entre as duas áreas. Os sedimentos de corrente, as frações magnéticas e as frações de 0,3A (separador eletromagnético Frantz) foram enviados para análises químicas por absorção atômica e ICP-OES. Os concentrados de batéia foram descritos, separando-se cristais de estaurolita de cada amostra coletada, e analisando-os em MEV-EDS para determinação da química mineral. Os resultados dos sedimentos de corrente apontaram que os pontos da fazenda São Jerônimo (ME-03, Itutinga 51,7 ppm de Zn) e o ponto do Ribeirão Santa Cruz, (ME-06, Itumirim 36,1 ppm de Zn) foram os que apresentaram melhores resultados, indicando anomalias em zinco nas duas áreas estudadas . As estaurolitas, retiradas dos concentrados de batéia de cada ponto estudado, foram divididas em três conjuntos, de acordo com os teores de ZnO encontrados: 1 - entre 2,96% e 3,25% de ZnO em peso; 2 - entre 2,03% e 2,76% de ZnO em peso; 3 - < 1,67% de ZnO em peso, sendo comparável com outras estaurolitas encontradas em diversos depósitos de Zn do mundo, como Dry River, Austrália e Palmeirópolis Goiás. Assim, as estaurolitas apresentam bons resultados como minerais indicadores na área estudada. Em relação as magnetitas e ilmenitas estudadas, o número de amostras coletadas no presente estudo foram muito pequenas para se ter informações conclusivas sobre o papel destes minerais como traçadores. Por outro lado, os resultados das análises químicas nos concentrados de ilmenita (até 856 ppm de Zn) e nos concentrados de magnetita (até 216 ppm de Zn), indicam a disponibilidade deste metal nas áreas estudadas. Assim, é possível se detectar a presença do zinco por dois meios: através de sedimentos de corrente, através de halos de dispersão química do elemento zinco, e através dos minerais resistatos (estaurolita zincífera, magnetita e ilmenita), a partir de uma dispersão clástica do grão. / The Itutinga region was studied for BP mineration in 80s , where they found sulphide mineralization in lenses (Zn-Cu-Ag-Fe) associated with komatiitic peridotite rocks and tholeitic basalts (amphibolites) of greenstone belts, near of Fazenda São Jerônimo. With this information in the literature the propose is study the staurolite, magnetite and ilmenite for indicating the applicability of these three minerals as tracers of these types of mineralization. For this, samples of stream sediment and panning concentrates in the region near the city of Itutinga, and also in a region near the city of Itumirim. The stream current, magnetic fractions and ilmenite fractions were sent to chemistry analyses (Atomic absorption and ICP-OES), and the panning concentrates were analyzed for the separating of staurolite crystals, and sent to SEM-EDS. The stream sediments results showed that the point of Fazenda São Jerônimo (ME-03, Itutinga 51,7 ppm of Zn) and the point of Ribeirão Santa Cruz (ME-06, Itumirim 36,1 ppm of Zn) were presented the best result. The staurolite of panning concentrates were divided into three groups according to levels of ZnO matched: 1 - between 2.96% and 3.25% by weight of ZnO, 2 - from 2, 03% and 2.76% by weight of ZnO, 3 - <1.67% ZnO by weight, comparable with other staurolite found in many zinc deposits in the world, such as Dry River, Australia and Palmeirópolis Goiás. Thus, the staurolite show good results as indicator minerals in the area. With respect to magnetite and ilmenite concentrates, the number of samples collected in both areas was too small to have conclusive information. On the other hand, the results of the chemical ilmenite (up to 856 ppm Zn) and magnetite (up to 216 ppm Zn), indicate the availability of this metal in the areas studied. Thus, it is possible to detect the presence of zinc by two means: through stream sediments through chemical dispersion halos of zinc, minerals and through resistive minerals (zincian staurolite, magnetite and ilmenite), from a crystal clastic dispersion.

Comunicação organizacional e sustentabilidade: cartografia dos sentidos de sustentabilidade instituídos pelo discurso organizacional

Kaufmann, Cristine January 2016 (has links)
A sustentabilidade, em sentido complexo, apresenta-se como um dos grandes desafios da humanidade, sendo a comunicação organizacional um lugar de sua construção e legitimação. Sob essa ótica, tendo como lente teórico-epistêmica, o Paradigma da Complexidade, conforme Morin (2006, 2008, 2011, 2013), com esta pesquisa temos o objetivo de compreender que perspectiva(s) teórico-filosófica(s) sobre sustentabilidade está(ão) orientando as práticas organizacionais na contemporaneidade. O tema do estudo são as apropriações da noção de sustentabilidade na/pela comunicação organizacional, especificamente, no âmbito da “organização comunicada” (BALDISSERA, 2009a), que é a dimensão das falas oficiais, lugar onde as organizações propõem imagens qualificadas de si na perspectiva do “ethos discursivo” (MAINGUENEAU, 2008). Nosso objeto de investigação são os sentidos de sustentabilidade produzidos e ofertados no discurso organizacional, especificamente, aquele materializado no Guia Exame de Sustentabilidade (GES) e nos sites institucionais de empresas premiadas pelo GES. Consideramos que esses são locais de instituição de sentidos, pois que se tratam de materializações discursivas orientadas pela intenção de comunicar e fazer reconhecer (instituir, conforme Bourdieu (1996)) determinados sentidos de sustentabilidade. No trajeto teórico-metodológico articulamos noções da Análise do Discurso, tendo como principais nortes as reflexões de Foucault (2006, 2012), Pêcheux ([88]2009), Orlandi (2009) e Maingueneau (1998, 2001, 2008, 2013). No processo de análise, acionamos, ainda, a sistematização proposta por Baldissera (2009b) sobre os lugares da sustentabilidade na cultura: 1) valor central; 2) valor periférico e/ou estratégico de mercado; 3) não-valor, valor negativo e/ou modismo; e 4) valor extrassistema. A análise dos sentidos de sustentabilidade instituídos no discurso organizacional nos permitiu compreender que a sustentabilidade tende a ser traduzida como sinônimo de lucratividade e perenidade dos negócios, com vistas à manutenção da lógica dominante, assumida, assim, como valor periférico e/ou estratégico de mercado na cultura organizacional. / Sustainability in complex sense, presents itself as one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, and organizational communication a place of its construction and legitimation. Under this view, with the theoretical and epistemic lens, the Paradigm of Complexity, according to Morin (2006, 2008, 2011, 2013), with this research we aim to understand what perspective (s) theoretical-philosophical (s) about sustainability is (are) guiding practices in contemporary organizations. The study of the subject are the appropriation of the concept of sustainability in / by organizational communication, specifically in the context of "communicated organization" (BALDISSERA, 2009a), which is the size of the official speeches, where organizations propose qualified pictures of themselves in perspective of "discursive ethos" (MAINGUENEAU, 2008). Our research object are produced sustainability senses and offered the organizational discourse, specifically, that materialized in the Exame Sustainability Guide (GES) and institutional sites of companies awarded by the GES. We believe that these are directions institution places, because that these are discursive materialization guided by the intention to communicate and to recognize (institute, as Bourdieu (1996)) certain sense of sustainability. The theoretical and methodological path articulate notions of discourse analysis, the main north reflections of Foucault (2006, 2012), Pêcheux ([88]2009), Orlandi (2009) and Maingueneau (1998, 2001, 2008, 2013). During the review process, we switch-also the systematization proposed by Baldissera (2009b) of the role of sustainability in the culture: 1) central value; 2) peripheral value and / or market strategy; 3) non-value, negative and / or fad; and 4) extrassistema value.

Aprendizagem ativa em ótica geométrica: experimentos e demonstrações investigativas / Active learning in geometrical optics: experiments and interactive demonstrations.

Edson Valentim Roberto 08 June 2009 (has links)
Atualmente existe, praticamente, um consenso entre os pesquisadores de Ensino de Física, de que a metodologia tradicional não é a mais efetiva por não promover um real engajamento dos estudantes durante o processo de ensino/aprendizagem. Muitos pesquisadores denominam Aprendizagem Ativa (AA), os métodos que requerem tal engajamento e as pesquisas indicam que esta abordagem é mais efetiva. Ou seja, verifica-se um aumento da compreensão dos conceitos básicos de Física. Entretanto, ainda há pouca aplicação de novas metodologias em sala de aula, tanto no ensino médio quanto no superior. No nosso entender, as atividades experimentais (de laboratório ou demonstração) são as mais adequadas para a aplicação de metodologias de AA. Entretanto, particularmente no Brasil, existe pouco material didático experimental disponível que utilize essa metodologia. Este trabalho visa sanar tal necessidade no campo da Ótica Geométrica, oferecendo uma série de roteiros comentados para experimentos e demonstrações interativas. Estes roteiros usam a idéia de investigação orientada onde se pretende que os conhecimentos prévios dos alunos sejam expostos e confrontados com os conceitos científicos. Este material foi aplicado a estudantes do ensino médio (escolas públicas) e do curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Exatas do IFSC. Para a avaliação do mesmo foram realizados testes escritos e monitoramentos em sala de aula. / There is nowadays consensus among the physics education researchers that the traditional teaching methods are not the most effective in promoting real engagement of the students in the teaching/learning process. Several researchers named Active Learning (AL), methods that require this engagement and research evidences indicate that this approach is the most effective, a better comprehension of the basic physics concepts is verified. However, particularly in Brazil, there are few didactic materials available using AL approaches. This works aims to fulfill this need in the field of Geometrical Optics, offering a series of tutorials (guides) for experiments and interactive demonstrations. These tutorials are based in the idea of guided investigation where the students previous beliefs are exposed and confronted with the scientific concepts. This material was applied to high school students (in public schools) and college students (science teacher preparation course of IFSC). In order to evaluate this material, written tests were performed as well as observation of classrooms.

Gestão de projeto educacional à distância na perspectiva do guia PMBOK / Management of educational project in the distance from the perspective of PMBOK Guide

Candice Heimann 13 February 2017 (has links)
Introdução: Durante o processo de implantação de cursos na modalidade a distância, a etapa de planejamento e gerenciamento do curso é um dos temas que vem ocupando as discussões dos envolvidos na projeção e execução das propostas educacionais, muitas vezes com finalidades que excedem o nível do educacional e esbarram também em questões de cunho administrativo e econômico. O fato de que, na Educação a Distância (EAD), se está lidando com sujeitos e instituições de características diversas assim como tecnologias das mais sofisticadas, não tem assegurado igual avanço nos modelos pedagógicos do ensino, e menos ainda, na qualidade da gestão desses projetos. Objetivo: Desenvolver um projeto educacional a distância através das ferramentas de gestão existentes no Guia Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Método: O estudo constituiu-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, de produção tecnológica com análise exploratório-descritiva. Quanto a técnica, foi empregado o estudo de caso de análise documental. Resultados: Neste projeto foram consideradas a existência de 5 fases do ciclo de vida que fundamentam o modelo do processo de gerenciamento de projetos, abrangendo todo percurso desde a concepção ao encerramento, identificadas por Inicialização, Planejamento, Execução, Monitoramento e Controle, Encerramento. Para inclusão das diretrizes em consonância com as orientações do Guia PMBOK, as 10 áreas de conhecimento foram selecionadas pela equipe do projeto, uma vez que elas englobam todas as ações gerenciais de um curso a distância, todavia, de acordo com o perfil do projeto, utilizou-se somente parte destes processos. A integração exerceu papel essencial no gerenciamento do curso, à medida que, criou condições propícias para o desenvolvimento do projeto através do estabelecimento do objetivo de capacitar profissionais no uso de Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação como recursos pedagógicos através da EAD baseando-se na aprendizagem significativa, no uso da metodologia dialética e das metodologias ativas, vinculadas a mediação da aprendizagem na era digital. Conclusões: Cada área de conhecimento do Guia PMBOK teve em seus processos a organização de acordo com as demandas e conhecimentos do projeto e dos gestores, com ênfase no planejamento educacional. O detalhamento conceitual e operacional foi analisado de forma a orientar os aspectos essenciais para o planejamento de um projeto em EAD dentro de um contexto gerencial norteada pelo modelo das boas práticas em gestão de projetos. O planejamento por unidades de aprendizagem, o monitoramento, o controle e os critérios de qualidade estabelecidos foram fundamentais para as tomadas de decisão no gerenciamento. O estabelecimento das atividades predominantes do projeto educacional e sua finalidade principal fizeram que os produtos fossem desenvolvidos dentro do que era almejado pelos stakeholders, sendo benquistos sem qualquer restrição. / Introduction: During the process of implementation of Education Distance Learning (EDL), the planning stage and management of the course is one of the themes that has been occupying the discussions of those involved in designing and implementing educational proposals, often for purposes that exceed the educational level and also run into administrative and economic nature issues. The fact that, in distance education, you\'re dealing with subjects and different characteristics of institutions as well as the most sophisticated technologies, has not ensured equal advance in pedagogical teaching models, and even less in quality management. Objective: To develop an educational project in the distance through the existing management tools in the Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide (PMBOK). Method: The study consisted of an applied research, production technology with exploratory and descriptive analysis. As for technique, we used the case study of document analysis. Results: In this project we considered the existence of 5 phases of the life cycle that base the model of the process of project management, covering all path from conception to closure, identified by Initialization, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Control, Finalization. In accordance with the guidelines of the PMBOK Guide, the 10 areas of knowledge were selected by the project team, since they encompass all managerial actions of a distance course, however, according to the project profile, only part of these processes were used. Integration has played an essential role in the management of the course, as it has created favorable conditions for the development of the project through the establishment of the objective of training professionals in the use of Digital Information and Communication Technologies as pedagogical resources through distance education based in meaningful learning, in the use of dialectical methodology and active methodologies, linked to the mediation of learning in the digital epoch. Conclusions: Each PMBOK Guide Knowledge area had in its processes the organization according to the demands and knowledge of the design and management, with an emphasis on educational planning. The conceptual and operational details was analyzed in order to guide the essentials for planning a project in distance education in a managerial context guided by the model of good practice in project management. Planning for learning units, monitoring, control and quality criteria were essential for decision-making in management. The establishment of the predominant activities of the educational project and its main purpose made that the products were developed within what was desired by the stakeholders, being well liked without any restriction.

The relationship between personality traits and perceived career barriers amongst young adults in South Africa

Yates, Duncan 28 February 2012 (has links)
M.A. / Young adults who are entering the world of work are facing increasing challenges, resulting in elevated levels of employment uncertainty and anxiety. Many of these challenges are due to the continuously changing work environment, which is buffeted by the socio-political and economic climate - both in and outside South Africa. Other challenges could be related to factors such as lack of confidence, decision making difficulties, dissatisfaction with career choice and difficulties with social networking. As a result of such challenges young adults may perceive career barriers that would have an impact on their career development. These challenges could be influenced by an individual’s personality traits. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the career barriers most perceived by young adults. The study also aimed to assess whether any relationship exists between personality traits and perceived career barriers. The sample consisted of 193 participants from two universities in South Africa. Each participant completed a biographical data questionnaire, the Basic Traits Inventory- Short Form and the Career Barriers Inventory-Revised. The three highest standardised mean scores for the perceived career barrier scales were Racial Discrimination (M = 4.90), Dissatisfaction with Career (M = 4.56) and Sex Discrimination (M = 4.49). Examination of the individual personality traits in relation to perceived career barriers was done through the use of Pearson’s product-moment correlations. Extroversion yielded statistically significant negative correlations with the following perceived career barriers: Decision–Making Difficulties (r = -0.241; p < 0.01) and Inadequate Preparation (r = -0.149; p < 0.05). Conscientiousness showed a statistically significant positive relationship with Sex Discrimination (r = 0.274; p < 0.01). The results also indicated a statistically significant positive correlation between Agreeableness and Job Market Constraints (r = 0.166; p < 0.05). This study has implications for career guidance counsellors in their endeavours to provide a comprehensive service to young adults who have difficulties overcoming perceived career barriers.

Aplicación de los lineamientos del PMBOK en la gestión de proyecto Centro Comercial Sur Sector Cuatro, San Juan de Miraflores – Lima

Angulo Félix, Roberto Raúl, Ludeña Martínez, Melisa Marlene January 2015 (has links)
El estudio, de tipo correlacional, se realizó al proyecto Centro Comercial Sur Sector Cuatro, de la empresa JE Construcciones SA; ubicada en la ciudad de Lima y parte de aplicar los lineamientos de la guía del PMBOK en la gestión del tiempo, costo y calidad; analizando y evaluando, la problemática generada en la obra durante la etapa de ejecución del periodo 15-03-15 al 15-05-15, hito importante en el proyecto. El análisis parte de dos escenarios: “Primer escenario”, representa el avance real en obra y “Segundo escenario”, representa el avance con el cronograma propuesto, calculándose el valor ganado del primer escenario que fue de S./115,342,840.09 y del segundo escenario que fue de S./153,008,434.03; que refleja la ejecución de obra sin retrasos y pérdidas económicas respecto al tiempo. La gestión de los costos, analiza las valorizaciones quincenales en la curva S para ambos escenarios, obteniéndose los indicadores que determinan el desempeño global de la obra. Para el primer escenario, la estimación a la conclusión (EAC) es S/. 216, 393,289.13 respecto al costo directo (BAC). La gestión de la calidad, implicó la aplicación del diagrama de Ishikawa y el diagrama de Pareto, evaluándose el impacto en el tiempo por los reprocesos del periodo en estudio, denotando una duración total de 76 días y el costo de S. / 86,067.90 que representa el 1.11% del periodo en estudio, conllevando a proponer el plan de calidad, protocolos para mejorar la calidad en los procesos. The study, of type correlational, was realized to the project “Centro Comercial Sur” sector four, of the company JE Constructions SA; located in the city of Lima and part of applying the alignments of guide of the PMBOK in the management of the time, cost and quality; analyzing and evaluating, the problematics generated in the work during the stage of execution of the period 15-03-15 to 15-05-15, important event in the project. The analysis departs from two scenarios: "The First scene", represents the real advance in work and "The Second scene", represents the advance with the proposed chronogram, there being calculated the earned value of the first scene that was S./115,342,840.09 and the second scene that was S./153,008,434.03; that reflects the execution of work without delays and economic losses with regard to the time. The management costs, analyzes the fortnightly valuations in the S curve for both scenarios, obtaining the indicators that determine the overall performance of the work. For the first scenario, the estimate at completion (EAC) is S /. 216, 393,289.13 regarding the direct cost (BAC). The quality management, involved the application of Ishikawa diagram and Pareto chart, evaluating the impact in time to rework the study period, implying a total duration of 76 days and the cost of S / 86,067.90 representing 1.11% of the study period, leading to propose the quality plan, protocols to improve process quality.

Explore Hyderabad : An Interactive Web-based GIS Application Prototype

Hashmi, Mir Mahammed Hussain January 2006 (has links)
Products are displayed in a shelf to market and sell to the public. It creates an interest and attracts people towards it. Likewise, any country or city can showcase itself by using Web over the internet which will attract the tourists from around the world. This example can be used for the city of Hyderabad. Hyderabad has truly become an international city and there are many multinational companies establishing themselves. It is rapidly becoming a hot spot for tourists from around the world because of its exotic locations and facilities provided by the government. The city has been famous for historical monuments and culture, but in the recent years it has developed into a world class IT destination for many multinational IT companies and due to this it has attained world recognition on the global scenario. The time is to reap the benefits of this image and promote the city’s tourist sector by globally marketing the tourist attractions, facilities and services in an innovative and better way so that tourists from around the world visit the city and thereby contribute to the country’s economy with the foreign currency. This research deals with developing a Web-based GIS application that can promote the city’s tourist activities and also provide the users with an innovative way to access the spatial content of the city. GIS content forms the core component of this application as it provides the users with the spatial information about the place that is very close to reality. It supports the human tendency of “What you see is what you believe” by displaying the spatial information on the map. The application has been developed with the latest mapping server technology provided by Environmental Science Research Institute’s ArcIMS 9.1. This server software provides simple and easy methods to launch a Web-based GIS application over the Internet.
