[pt] Com o aumento da expectativa, de vida o envelhecimento da população vem se tornando uma realidade cada vez mais presente no Brasil e no mundo. Esse novo panorama demográfico já é vivenciado por países ricos, que vêm cada vez mais investindo para se enquadrar nessa nova realidade, seja por meio da adaptação de suas cidades ou pelo desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias para melhora da qualidade de vida. Na área da robótica, diversas pesquisas vêm sendo desenvolvidas com o intuito de reabilitação e melhora da qualidade de vida da população idosa. Nesses trabalhos são desenvolvidos, por exemplo, dispositivos que buscam auxiliar o idoso na realização de suas atividades diárias, provendo, principalmente, suporte e prevenção de quedas. Essa dissertação de mestrado apresenta o desenvolvimento do protótipo de um dispositivo para assistência a locomoção de pessoas idosas que possuam alguma deficiência visual, motora e/ou cognitiva. O dispositivo tem como objetivo guiar o usuário em ambientes urbanos de maneira autônoma. O protótipo deve ser capaz de desviar de qualquer obstáculo que possa levar o idoso à queda, além de ter uma estrutura que ofereça apoio para o seu deslocamento. O dispositivo proposto possui uma estrutura semelhante a um andador, cuja base é um robô móvel diferencial. Para que possa obter informações do ambiente, o dispositivo está equipado com sensores de distância, uma central inercial e encoders nas rodas. Todo o processamento ocorre em uma CPU de baixo custo, Raspberry Pi 1 versão 2, embarcada no próprio dispositivo e o controle de navegação ocorre por meio de um algoritmo baseado em lógica Fuzzy. Os acessos ao hardware e software de controle do dispositivo são gerenciados pelo framework de robótica Player (Gerkey e contribuidores, 2010). Para que o dispositivo receba a rota de navegação ele está conectado a um celular, com sistema operacional Android, via protocolo TCP/IP. Esse celular está executando uma API (Application Programming Interface) do Google Maps que fornece direção e distância ao objetivo a cada passo da interação, além da localização global do dispositivo, por meio do sensor GPS do celular. O objetivo deve ser inicialmente estabelecido pelo usuário por meio da API desenvolvida, para que a navegação autônoma ocorra. Além da navegação autônoma, o dispositivo permite que usuário envie comandos diretamente para os motores por meio de sensores de força instalados próximos aos pontos de apoio do usuário. / [en] With the increase in life expectation, the ageing population has become more present in Brazil and the world. This new demographic scenery has been already framed by rich countries, which are increasingly investing to fit this new reality, either through the adaptation of their cities or the development of new technologies to improve the quality of life. In the area of robotics, several researches have been developed with the aim of rehabilitation and improvement of the quality of life of the elderly population. These researches are developing, for example, devices to assist the elderly in carrying out their daily activities, providing support and prevention of falls. This work presents the development of the prototype of a device to assist elderly person with any visual, cognitive and/or motor impairment to locomotion by itself. The device aims to guide the user autonomously in urban environments. The prototype should be able to avoid any obstacle that can cause the elderly to fall, besides having a structure that offers support for his balance. The proposed device has a structure similar to a walker whose base is a differential mobile robot. For the device be able to get information from the environment, it is embedded with range sensors, a measurement central unit and encoders at the wheels. All processing occurs in a low-cost CPU, Raspberry Pi 1 B version 2, which is embedded in the mobile device, and the navigation control algorithm is based on fuzzy logic. The robotic framework Player (Gerkey and contributors, 2010) provides the access to the hardware and software of the device. For the device to receive the navigation route, it is connected to an Android operating system phone, by TCP/IP protocol. This phone runs an API (Application Programming Interface) from Google Maps that provides the direction and the distance to the goal in every step of its interaction, besides the global location of the robot, provided by the GPS sensor of the phone. The user should firstly set the goal with the API developed, so that the autonomous navigation will occur. In addition to the autonomous navigation, the device allows the user to send commands directly to the motors by means of the force sensors installed at the robot cane.

Text in Afrikaans / Summaries in Afrikaans and English / Dit is vir enige openbare biblioteek wat sy doelstellings suksesvol wil bereik absoluut noodsaaklik om die mens as die belangrikste hulpbron in die ondememing doeltreffend te bestuur en optimaal te benut. Openbare biblioteke in Suid-Afrika ondervind egter sedert die veranderende politieke bestel in 1994, groat druk om 'n leidende rol in die gemeenskap te speel ten opsigte van opleiding en ontwikkeling aan die jeug, volwasse onderwys te ondersteun en aktief by gemeenskapsontwikkelingsprojekte betrokke te raak. Die openbare biblioteek het verder die verantwoordelikheid om inligting aan die gemeenskap te verskaf met die oog op besluitneming en suksesvolle gemeenskapsontwikkeling. Hierdie klemverskuiwing in die openbare biblioteek se doelstellings moet verder bestuur, en ten uitvoer gebring word te midde van 'n moeilike finansiele klimaat, 'n uitgebreide gebruikerskorps met veranderende gebruikersbehoeftes en tegnologiese uitdagings. Ten einde hierdie uitdagings aan die openbare biblioteek te bestuur, is dit noodsaaklik dat die menslike hulpbron so goed moontlik benut sal word volgens sy kundigheid en vermoens. Die werknemer bevind homself in drie omgewings in sy werkplek naamlik die taakinhoudomgewing, die taakverbandomgewi ng en die eksteme omgewing. I hierdie omgewings waarbinne die werknemer sy taak moet verrig is daar ' verskeidenheid faktore aanwesig wat sy prestasie en dus sy benutting kan bei'nvloed. Die teorie onderliggend aan menslikehulpbronbenutti ng is bestudeer en 'n ge·inte-greerde model vir menslikehulpbronbenutting is ontwikkel, waarop 'n empiriese studie gevolg het om die faktore te identifiseer wat menslikehulpbronbenutting in openbare biblioteke in Suid-Afrika kan be'invloed. Uit die empiriese ondersoek is vier faktore ge'identifiseer wat menslikehulpbron­ benutting in die openbare biblioteek kan be'invloed naamlik: • die algemene houding van die werknemer teenoor sy taak en die openbare biblioteekberoep • opleiding en ontwikkeling van werknemers • inligtingtegnologie • loopbaanbestuur Slegs die eerste faktor in die ondersoek het positief na vore getree, terwyl die ander drie negatief gepresteer het. Ten einde openbare biblioteekbestuur in staat te stel om hierdie leemtes, wat deur middel van hierdie faktore ge'identifiseer word reg te stel word 'n geintegreerde menslikehulpbronbenuttingsmodel voorgestel. Hierdie model bestaan uit verskillende komponente wat volgens behoefte van die biblioteek ge'implementeer kan word. / It is absolutely essential, for any public library that wishes to attain its objectives successfully, to manage human beings as its most important resource efficiently and to utilise them optimally.Since the change in the political dispensation in 1994, however, public libraries in South Africa experience mounting pressure to play a leading role in respect of education and the development of youth, to support adult education and engage positively in community development projects. A further responsibility of the public library is to supply information to the community to assist decision making and successful community development. To complicate matters, this shift in emphasis in the public library's objectives has to be managed and brought to fruition under the following conditions: a difficult financial climate, an extended corps of users with changing requirements, and technological challenges. To manage these challenges to the public library, it is essential that human resources be utilised as well as possible in accordance with their expertise and abilities. Employees find themselves in three environments, namely the job content environment, the job context environment and the external environment. A variety of factors which can influence the performance, and therefore the utilisation of employees are present in these environments in which they have to fulfiltheir task.The theory underlying the utilisation of human resources has been studied and an integrated model for human resource utilisation has been developed. This was followed by an empirical study to identify the factors which influence the utilisation of human resources in public libraries in South Africa. From the empirical investigation four factors were identified which can influence the utilisation of human resources in public libraries, namely: • the general attitude of the employee to the task and the profession of public librarianship • training and development of employees • information technology • career management Only the first factor emerged positively from the study, while the other three performed negatively. To enable public library management to remedy the deficiencies identified with the help of these factors, an integrated human resources utilisation model is proposed. This model consists of various components which can be implemented according to the needs of the specific library. / Informations Sciences / D.Litt. et Phil. (Inligtingkunde)

The theme of this master´s thesis is a feasibility analysis of planned construction of an enviromentally friendly hotel in the Czech context on the example of Yves Rocher company. The reason for choosing this topic is my interest in the enviromental pro-tection and an effort to point out the advantages of implementing the principles of enviromentally aware into the company´s own strategy. The thesis focuses on the interests of potential clientele and the level of viability of the future accommodation facility with the goal of verifying whether there is realistically a chance of profitability of a project involving the construction of an enviromentally friendly hotel in the Czech enviroment. A complete analysis is carried out during the pre-stage to determine the above mentioned aspects and it´s main focus is an opportunity study and feasibility study. Public opinion data was gathered using a survey among 160 independent respondents. SLEPT analysis was used for a detailed analysis of the external environment of the enviromentally friendly hotel. It´s technical functionality allows detailed characterization of each segment including the impacts that any action in those given segments can have. These impacts can be a key indicator for establishing the required market stability. The SWOT analysis was used for the final summary of the gathered results. This summary was then implemented in the Logical Framework approach with the goal of final recapitulation of the project´s design.

The thesis deals with the analysis of the properties of the external and internal environment of the buildings, the possibilities of heating and cooling. The emphasis is mainly on the energy intensity and the impact of weather conditions on the building temperature during the year. The model created by UPPAAL SMC describes the behavior of heating and cooling during the year and identifies the energy demand of the given building. The building model itself can be partially modified using the built-in user interface.

The notion of "development strategy", classification of strategies, including development, was explored, and features of strategies for small enterprises that took into account their advantages were also shown. An analysis was carried out of the development strategies employed at the particular enterprise. Also, within the framework of the work, an algorithm for choosing a strategy for the development of a small industrial enterprise was developed, based on the proposed sequence of steps and tools for implementing each of them, ensuring an agreed choice of corporate, competitive and functional strategies of the enterprise. Also, a methodology was developed for assessing the level of development of an industrial enterprise based on the proposed classification of directions and indicators of enterprise development and ensuring the implementation of one of the stages of the development strategy selection algorithm, which allows not only to objectively assess the level of development achieved, but also to determine the most promising areas for further development. The developed algorithm and methodology were tested using the example of an earlier enterprise.
