Desse modo, objetivou-se com o presente estudo comparar o desempenho de larvas de duas linhagens de til?pia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) submetidas a diferentes frequ?ncias alimentares com temperatura abaixo da faixa ?tima para crescimento. Larvas irm?s das linhagens tailandesa e GIFT foram distribu?das em 24 aqu?rios de 4L, na densidade de 15 larvas L-1, sob aera??o constante, fotoper?odo natural e temperatura da ?gua a 23 oC. Elas foram submetidas a tr?s frequ?ncias alimentares: 2, 5 e 8 vezes dia-1, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, num esquema fatorial 2 linhagens x 3 frequ?ncias, com quatro repeti??es cada. Os demais par?metros de qualidade da ?gua mantiveram-se adequados para a esp?cie. A linhagem tailandesa apresentou melhor desempenho para todos os par?metros observados. As larvas submetidas ? frequ?ncia alimentar 5 vezes dia-1 apresentaram comprimento total e padr?o e peso, semelhantes ?queles submetidas ? frequ?ncia de 8 vezes dia-1 que foram maiores do que os valores obtidos para a frequ?ncia de 2 vezes dia-1. Desse modo, deve-se empregar as til?pias da linhagem tailandesa alimentadas 5 vezes dia-1. Objetivou-se com segundo estudo comparar o desempenho de duas linhagens de til?pia do Nilo (O. niloticus)?submetidas a diferentes densidades de estocagem. O ensaio foi conduzindo em um fatorial 2 x 4, sendo quatro densidades de estocagem (6,25; 12,50; 18,75 e 25,00 ind. L-1), e duas linhagens (tailandesa e GIFT). Os dados foram interpretados por meio de ANOVA e para os efeitos densidade, utilizou-se Teste de Tukey. Larvas irm?s das linhagens tailandesa e GIFT (4.000 ind.), foram distribu?das em 32 aqu?rios com 8 L de ?gua cada,?em quatro densidades de estocagem (6,25; 12,50; 18,75 e 25,00 00 ind. L-1),?de modo casualizado?com quatro repeti??es cada. Por um per?odo de 36 dias, as larvas foram mantidas em aqu?rios providos de aera??o constante e fotoper?odo natural. As?vari?veis limnol?gicas estiveram dentro da faixa adequada ? esp?cie. Quanto ?s vari?veis biol?gicas, n?o houve intera??o entre linhagem e densidade. A linhagem GIFT apresentou melhor desempenho em comprimento total e biomassa para o 36o dia. Dentre as densidades para cada linhagem os melhores resultados de comprimentos, peso e ganho de peso, foram para a densidade?6,25 00 ind. L-1,?mas ao se utilizar 25 00 ind. L-1 ocorre aumento na biomassa e otimiza??o do espa?o utilizado. Portanto, indica-se a linhagem GIFT na densidade de 25,00 ind. L-1. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

Thus, larvae performance of two Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) strains submitted to different feeding frequencies, and with temperature below the optimum range for growth were evaluated. Larvae of thai and GIFT strains were distributed into 24 tanks-4L, at density of 15 larvae L-1, under constant aeration, and natural photoperiod, and water temperature at 23oC. The fish were subjected to three feeding frequencies: 2, 5, and 8 times day-1 in a completely randomized design, in a factorial model 2 strain x 3 frequency, each with four replications. The water quality parameters remained adequate for the species. Larvae thai strain showed better performance. Feed rate at 5 times day-1 presented higher values for ??larvae weight, standard and total length, when compared with 2 times day-1. Frequency of feeding 8 times day-1 has no difference. Thai strain fed 5 times day-1 should be used. The objective of the second study with larviculture of two Nile tilapia strains (O.niloticus) under different stocking densities was evaluated. The trial was carried out in to 2 x 4 factorial model, with four stocking densities (6.25, 12.50, 18.75 and 25.00 00 ind. L-1) and two strains (thai and GIFT). Larvae progeny of strains from thai and GIFT (4.000 ind.) were distributed in 32 tanks-8L in a completely randomized design with four replications. During 36 days, larvae were kept in aquarium provided with constant aeration and natural photoperiod. Water limnological parameters were within the appropriate range for the species. Data were interpreted using ANOVA, and effects of density was analyzed using Tukey test. The biological variables, don?t presented interaction between strain, and density. Larvae of GIFT strain presented greater total length and biomass after 36th day. Among densities for each strains, there was observed improves for length, weight, and weight gain using 6.25 larvae L-1. However, it was verified that 25 ind. L-1 increases the biomass and optimization of space. Therefore, it is indicated using larvae of GIFT strain in densities of 25.00 ind. L-1.

Pretende-se conduzir este exame mediante uma exploração teórica comparada dos seus principais conceitos e categorias. O objetivo é o de subsidiar análises organizacionais multidimensionais, no campo da Administração e da Teoria Organizacional, buscando o estabelecimento de uma aproximação entre tais modelos. O modelo paraeconômico tem por premissa a existência da racionalidade substantiva em oposição à racionalidade meramente instrumental, e propõe a delimitação de sistemas sociais segundo as suas finalidades, objetivos e características. A partir de polaridades entre a orientação individual ou coletiva e o grau de prescrição social são configurados tipos ideais (weberianos) dos sistemas sociais da paraeconomia. A paraeconomia propõe, ainda, políticas substantivas de adequada alocação de recursos para diversos sistemas de vida humana associada e organizações. O modelo baseado na dádiva antropológica, onde esse fenômeno é identificado como o elemento coesivo primário das sociedades humanas, tem como premissa e suporte conceitual de suas múltiplas e paradoxais configurações de sistemas sociais a tríade verbal dar – receber – retribuir, segundo o grau de obrigação ou liberdade e de interesse ou desinteresse na manutenção do laço social. Este constructo, por sua vez, dá base teórica a sistemas sociais orientados por múltiplas dimensões, onde o econômico se acha entrelaçado e subordinado aos demais aspectos da vida social, como o político, o social, o religioso etc. A comparação dos fundamentos de cada modelo mostra que a razão incorpora elementos da dádiva, enquanto esta é capaz de demonstrar a racionalidade de ações aparentemente irracionais sob uma ótica do interesse econômico, ou a irracionalidade efetiva de ações aparente e ou temporariamente racionais. Ambos os paradigmas procuram articular as tensões entre o nível individual e o nível coletivo, segundo variados graus de determinação pela estrutura ou norma social. A guisa de conclusão, procura-se discutir algumas implicações desses modelos para a análise organizacional. / Salvador

The analysis considers football as a field, in terms used by Pierre Bourdieu, a space defined by the competition of a very symbolic capital and specific forms of consecration. Based on the opinions of the fans in sports radio programs and discussions in online forums, as well as the observation of meetings held by the MITT, it was observed that, since its founding, the group has gained prestige and is considered by fans as a model to be followed. This growth in the value of the association, in this social space where the gift, the giving without expecting something in return, the sacrifice in the name of something bigger(the club) and the suppression of individual interests are considered supreme values, has been achieved from two modes of public expression of disinterest: first, for some financial gain, explained by the constant publication in the media of the benefits of account of what is collected from the fans, and finally by renouncing the pursuit of consecration, i.e., by the very specific form of symbolic capital at stake. / Essa dissertação pretende analisar as ações de um grupo de torcedores do Fortaleza Esporte Clube, denominado Movimento Independente da Torcida Tricolor, também denominado MITT, fundado em 2006, que tem como principal objetivo a reforma e ampliação do patrimônio físico do clube, por meio de campanhas de arrecadação de dinheiro e material de construção. A análise se dá considerando o futebol como um campo, nos termos usados por Pierre Bourdieu, um espaço marcado pela disputa de um capital simbólico próprio e formas de consagração específicas. Partindo das opiniões dos torcedores em programas esportivos de rádio e discussões em fóruns virtuais, bem como da observação das reuniões realizadas pelo MITT, observou-se que, desde sua fundação, o grupo tem conquistado prestígio, sendo considerado pelos torcedores um modelo a ser seguido. Esse crescimento do valor da associação, nesse espaço social onde a dádiva, o dar sem esperar algo em troca, o sacrifício em nome de algo maior (o clube) e a supressão dos interesses individuais são considerados valores supremos, tem sido conquistado a partir de dois modos de manifestação pública de desinteresse: primeiro, por algum ganho financeiro, explicitada pela constante divulgação nos meios de comunicação das prestações de conta do que é arrecadado junto aos torcedores, e finalmente pela renúncia da busca de consagração, ou seja, pela própria forma específica de capital simbólico aí em jogo.

Magíster en Análisis Sistémico Aplicado a la Sociedad / Se investigará el contexto jurídico, la forma y expectativas de las regulaciones normativas públicas (gift policy) que han generado organizaciones empresariales chilenas para abordar el problema del tráfico de regalos en el contexto corporativo y se analizarán desde la perspectiva de la moderna teoría de sistemas desarrollada por Niklas Luhmann y las teorías del don elaboradas principalmente por la antropología social

The study is limited to a survey of the gift-wrapping departments of selected stores in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Denton.

Background and research orientation, rationale and objectives. Gift giving or reciprocity is widely used in organisations as an attempt to further improve employee performance and productivity, which is ultimately believed to result in higher levels of organisational performance and success. Reciprocity theory, or the gift exchange view, assumes that employees and organisations pursue that which is in their own material self-interest. Reciprocity research is, however, still largely dominated by research focusing on the impact of financial rewards, despite major reward theories, models and approaches that increasingly emphasise the importance of both financial and non-financial rewards in attraction, employee engagement or motivation and retention. The aim of the current research study was to investigate the extent to which employees reciprocate discretionary effort, as indicated by higher levels of productivity, after receiving either a financial or non-financial gift or reward. Moreover, the impact of receiving either a financial or non-financial reward on perceived levels of both employee motivation and job satisfaction was measured, as well as to determine reward preference which was considered more motivating and satisfying. Research approach. The present study made use of an experimental research approach, more so, a controlled field experiment in a naturally occurring work environment. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from employees to measure their perceived levels of motivation and job satisfaction. Productivity data was provided by the organisation employing the employees to determine the impact of the financial or non-financial reward. Composite questionnaires consisting of open-ended questions and Likert-type questions were distributed using a convenience, non-probability sampling approach. All completed questionnaires, along with the provided productivity data, were analysed using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and content analysis. Main findings. Results of the research study indicated a significant difference in employees perceived level of motivation and job satisfaction after receiving a financial or non-financial gift. Thus, employees experienced greater levels of motivation and job satisfaction after receiving a financial or non-financial gift. Results furthermore showed that employees were more productive after receiving the gift, although the productivity did not shift any different whether they received the financial or non-financial gift. Thus, employee reciprocated discretionary effort after receiving a gift. A statistically significant association was found between the gift employees received and the gift they desired, with the likelihood of receiving a particular gift and desiring that specific gift not being random, but rather due to psychological feelings of appreciation.

Sammanfattning Titel: Vad skiljer sig i uppfattningen gällande gift promotions mellan män och kvinnor?- En studie kring likheter och skillnader mellan könen Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Florence Aarskog och Ylva Österberg Handledare: Lars-Johan Åge Datum: 2022-juni Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka vad det finns för likheter och skillnader gällande uppfattningen av gift promotions mellan män och kvinnor. Studien förväntas svara på vad för orsaker som kan ligga till grund för dessa uppfattningar och hur dessa kan skilja sig åt.  Metod: Arbetet är ett resultat av en kvalitativ studie genomförd på män och kvinnor i åldrarna 20–30 år. Det empiriska materialet ligger som grund för arbetet och har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer där respondenterna har fått sätta sig in i verklighetsinspirerade scenarion genom så kallade vinjettexperiment. Det empiriska materialet har därefter bearbetats för att kunna urskilja likheter och skillnader mellan männen och kvinnorna gällande uppfattning av gift promotions. Resultat och slutsats: Studiens resultat visar på att kvinnor i allmänhet reagerar positivare än män på gift promotions. Detta har visats genom att kvinnor gärna uppfyller sina behov på längre sikt, genom gåvor som kan användas i framtiden, medan männen har visat på att enbart vilja uppfylla sina behov på kort sikt. Båda könen har visat på att det måste finnas ett värde för dem själva gällande gåvan de ska få med, vilket kvinnor ser i större utsträckning än män. Det har även visat sig att båda könen vill se en relevans mellan produkten i fråga och den medföljande gåvan. Examensarbetets bidrag: Arbetet har bidragit till det företagsekonomiska forskningsfältet genom att bidra med information om hur män och kvinnor ser på gift promotions. Detta kan ligga till grund för marknadsförare vid utformandet av erbjudanden och kampanjer. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: I denna studie så har fokus legat på likheter och skillnader gällande gift promotions mellan män och kvinnor i åldrarna 20–30 år. För vidare forskning finns intresse av att undersöka denna fråga bland andra åldersgrupper, samt att titta på hur uppfattningen ser ut gällande gift promotions bland tjänster, då denna studie enbart berört produkter. Utöver detta finns det även intresse för att titta på skillnader i uppfattningen av gift promotions vid köp på internet kontra i fysisk butik. Nyckelord: Gift promotions, sales promotions, gift promotion-perception, marketing-gender differences, marketing-perception. / Abstract Title: What differences are there regarding the perception of gift promotions between men and women? – A study about similarities and differences between the genders Level: Student thesis, final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Florence Aarskog och Ylva Österberg Supervisor: Lars-Johan Åge Date: 2022-june Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine what similarities and differences might exist between men and women regarding their perceptions of gift promotions. The study is expected to give answers to what is laying behind these perceptions and how these can differ.  Method: This work is the result of a qualitative study implemented on men and women between the ages of 20-30 years old. The empirical material makes up the base of the work and is collected through semi structured interviews where the respondents have been requested to picture themselves in different scenarios inspired by everyday life. This is with other words also called a vignette experiment. The empirical material has then been processed to identify the similarities and differences of the two genders perceptions of gift promotions. Results and conclusions: The results of this study show that women in general have a more positive attitude towards gift promotions compared to men. This can be seen from the fact that it is more important for women to fulfill long term needs which some gifts can enable. It is also shown that men on the other side are more interested in fulfilling their short-term needs. Both genders find it important that the promoted gift must have value for themselves which women find to a greater extent than men. Another finding of this study is the importance of a good fit between gift and product which is something both genders agree on. Contribution of the thesis: This work has contributed to the business administration research field by collecting information about how men and women perceive gift promotions. This information can be used by marketers designing their promotion dealsand campaigns. Suggestions for future research: The focus of this study has been on the similarities and differences between men and women within the age gap 20-30 years old. For future research there is an interest to discover what other age groups would have to say, what the perceptions of gift promotions would look like when it comes to services instead of products and finally to compare perceptions of gift promotions online to the ones in physical stores. Key words: Gift promotions, sales promotions, gift promotion-perception, marketing-gender differences, marketing-perception
