For comprising the larger rate of deaths, the study of mortality in the elderly population is regarded as essential to understand the health situation. In this sense, the present study aims to analyze the mortality profile of the population from 60 to 69 (young elders) and older than 80 years old (oldest old) in the Rio Grande do Norte state (Brazil) in the period 2001 to 2011, and to identify the association with contextual factors and variables about the quality of the Mortality Information System (SIM). For this purpose, Mortality Proportional (MP) was calculated for the state and Specific Mortality Rate by Age (CMId) , according to chapters of ICD- 10, to the municipalities of Rio Grande do Norte , through data from the Mortality Information System (SIM) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IGBE). In order to identify groups of municipalities with similar mortality profiles, Nonhierarchical Clustering K-means method was applied and the Factor Analysis by the Principal Components Analysis was resort to reduce contextual variables. The spatial distribution of these groups and the factors were visualized using the Spatial Analysis Areas technique. During the period investigated, 21,813 younger elders deaths were recorded , with a predominance of deaths from circulatory diseases (32.75%) and neoplasms (22.9 %) . Among the oldest old, 50,637 deaths were observed, which 35.26% occurred because of cardiovascular diseases and 17.27% of ill-defined causes. Clustering Analysis produced three clusters to the two age groups and Factor Analysis reduced the contextual variables into three factors, also the sum of the factor scores was considered. Among the younger elders, the groups are called misinformation profile, development profile and development paradox, which showed a statistically significant association with education and poverty and extreme poverty factors, factorial sum and the variable related to underreporting of deaths. Misinformation profile remained in the oldest old group, accompanied by the epidemiological transition profile and the epidemiological paradox, that were statistically associated with the development and health factor, as well as with the variables that indicate the SIM quality: proportion of blank fields about the schooling and underreporting. It proposed that the mortality profiles of the younger elders and oldest old differ on the importance of the basic causes and that are influenced by different contextual aspects , observing that 60 to 69 years group is more affected by such aspects. Health inequalities can be reduced by measures aimed to improve levels of education and poverty, especially in younger elders, and by optimizing the use of health services, which is more associated to the oldest old health situation. Furthermore, it is important to improve the quality of information for the two age groups / As medidas de mortalidade representam um dos mais importantes indicadores das condi??es de sa?de. Por concentrar a maior carga de mortes, o estudo da mortalidade da parcela idosa da popula??o se configura como essencial para a compreens?o da situa??o de sa?de. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho se prop?e a analisar o perfil de mortalidade da popula??o de 60 a 69 anos (idosos mais jovens) e de 80 anos ou mais de idade (idosos longevos) no estado do Rio Grande do Norte no per?odo de 2001 a 2011, bem como identificar os fatores contextuais e de qualidade do Sistema de Informa??es sobre Mortalidade (SIM) relacionados. Para tanto, foram calculados a Mortalidade Proporcional (MP) para o estado e o Coeficiente de Mortalidade Espec?fico por Idade (CMId), segundo cap?tulo CID-10, para os munic?pios do Rio Grande do Norte, a partir dos dados do Sistema de Informa??es sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estat?stica (IGBE). A fim de identificar os grupos de munic?pios com perfis de mortalidade similares para CMIds, foi realizada a An?lise de Conglomerados n?o Hier?rquicos do tipo K-means e, para a redu??o das vari?veis independentes contextuais, recorreu-se ? Analise Fatorial pelo m?todo de An?lise de Componentes Principais. As distribui??es espaciais de tais grupos e fatores produzidos foram visualizadas atrav?s da t?cnica An?lise Espacial de ?reas. No per?odo investigado, foram registrados 21.813 ?bitos de idosos mais jovens, com predom?nio das mortes por doen?as do aparelho circulat?rio (32,75%) e neoplasmas (22.9%). Entre os idosos longevos, foram registrados 50.637 ?bitos, sendo 35,26% por doen?as do aparelho circulat?rio e 17,27% por causas mal definidas. A An?lise de Conglomerados formou tr?s grupos para as duas faixas et?rias de interesse e a An?lise Fatorial reduziu as vari?veis independentes contextuais em tr?s fatores, sendo considerada tamb?m a soma dos escores fatoriais. Entre os idosos mais jovens, formaram-se os grupos perfil do desconhecimento, perfil do desenvolvimento e paradoxo do desenvolvimento, que obtiveram associa??o estatisticamente significativa com os fatores educa??o e pobreza, extrema pobreza, soma fatorial, e com a vari?vel relacionada ? subnotifica??o dos ?bitos. O grupo perfil do desconhecimento permaneceu na faixa et?ria longeva, acompanhado do perfil de transi??o epidemiol?gica e do paradoxo epidemiol?gico,que foram estatisticamente associado ao fator desenvolvimento e sa?de e ?s vari?veis que indicam a qualidade SIM: propor??o de campos em branco sobre a escolaridade e de sub-registro. Depreende-se que os perfis de mortalidade de idosos mais jovens e longevos apresentam diferen?as quanto ? import?ncia das causas b?sicas e que s?o influenciados por distintos aspectos contextuais, sendo os idosos de 60 a 69 anos mais afetados por tais aspectos. Medidas direcionadas ? melhoria dos n?veis de educa??o e pobreza dos munic?pios podem contribuir para a redu??o das desigualdades em sa?de relacionadas aos idosos mais jovens, principalmente, bem como a otimiza??o da utiliza??o dos servi?os de sa?de, que se relaciona mais expressivamente ao quadro de sa?de dos idosos longevos, especialmente no que diz respeito ? qualidade das informa??es para os dois grupos de idade

More specifically, we will develop experiments with three diferent cluster ensembles methods, which have been used in many works in literature: coassociation matrix, relabeling and voting, and ensembles based on graph partitioning. The inputs for these methods will be the partitions generated by three clustering algorithms, representing diferent paradigms: kmeans, ExpectationMaximization (EM), and hierarchical method with average linkage. These algorithms have been widely applied to gene expression data. In general, the results obtained with our experiments indicate that the cluster ensemble methods present a better performance when compared to the individual techniques. This happens mainly for the heterogeneous ensembles, that is, ensembles built with base partitions generated with diferent clustering algorithms / O principal objetivo deste trabalho ? investigar a viabilidade da aplica??o de t?cnicas de combina??o de agrupamentos (comit?s de agrupamento) a dados de express?o g?nica. Mais especificamente, ser?o realizados experimentos com tr?s m?todos diferentes de comit?s de agrupamentos que v?m sendo bastante usados na literatura: matriz de coassocia??o, rerotulagem e vota?ao, e comit?s baseados em particiona mento de grafo. A entrada para esses m?todos de combina??o ser?o as parti??es geradas por tr?s algoritmos de agrupamento, os quais representam diferentes paradigmas: arquico com liga??o k m?dias, ExpectationMaximization (EM), e o algoritmo hier?rquico com liga??o m?dia. Todos esse algoritmos v?m sendo amplamente utilizados no contexto de dados de express?o g?nica.

Therefore, this study objected to perform an analysis on the risk perception on the population living in social environmental vulnerable places in order to understand what is the way this population realize the risks they are exposed to and what are the outbrave strategies the develop. The first analyzed area was Complexo Passo da P?tria for the flooding risk problematic and then the Cidade Nova neighborhood threatened by the dunes slides. The areas locate, respectively, in the West and East zones of Natal-RN. Using an interview screenplay adapted from risk perception researches from different brazilian cities, it was collected primarily data on the variables: perception, evaluation and choice, safety threshold, adjustment, decision and participation. Due to the studied areas characteristics the qualitative approach adjusted itself to the difficulties for accessing the areas. The studied places characterize for its insecure situation like selling/using drugs, robbery and murder among others. Due to this situation the interviewed individuals were the ones that could be found more accessibly and available in the moment and the interviews were made in the community leader presence of each area. Through the discourse of the respondents analysis it was able to conclude that the interviewed population is exposed to a high vulnerability grade and risks. However it was identified substantial differences between the perception and risks of Complexo Passo da P?tria and bairro Cidade Nova, because in the first area the intervied ones can recognize the high risk they are exposed to in a more emphatic way to the interviewed ones for the Cidade Nova neighborhood. Furthermore, there is a heavy dissatisfaction for the population of the two places about the city hall positions relating to the present problems in the studied areas. It was also identified the strategy development of acquaintanceship with the risk in the research places beyond a feeling of belonging and affection between the dwellers and the places, yet it was more evident for Complexo Passo da P?tria. Though this analysis it was possible to understand and perceptions and the behavior of the individuals or social groups facing the risks as acceptance and rejection of determined risks beyond adaptation measures of living together with the persistence presence of risks. Therefore, qualitative nature researches emphasizing the perception approach are in the fundamental importance in the studies about risks making it possible to offer aids to the urban planning and management in the implement of effective preventive measures and compatible with the population aims / No espa?o urbano, as inunda??es e deslizamentos de terra est?o entre os problemas que mais trazem preju?zos humanos e materiais. Este estudo objetivou, portanto, realizar uma an?lise da percep??o de riscos de popula??es residentes em ?reas de vulnerabilidade socioambiental a fim de compreender de que forma essas popula??es percebem os riscos a que est?o expostas e quais as estrat?gias de enfrentamento desenvolvidas por elas. A primeira ?rea analisada foi o Complexo Passo da P?tria com a problem?tica dos riscos de inunda??es e em seguida o bairro Cidade Nova, sujeito a riscos de deslizamentos de dunas. As ?reas localizam-se, respectivamente, nas zonas oeste e leste de Natal-RN. Com um roteiro de entrevistas adaptado de pesquisas sobre percep??o de riscos em diferentes cidades brasileiras, foram coletados dados prim?rios referentes ?s vari?veis: percep??o, avalia??o e escolha, limiar de seguran?a, ajustamento, decis?o e participa??o. Devido ?s caracter?sticas das ?reas de estudo, a abordagem qualitativa adequou-se ?s dificuldades de acessibilidade nas ?reas. Os locais estudados se caracterizam por situa??es de inseguran?a como venda/uso de drogas, assaltos, homic?dios, entre outros. Devido a isso, os indiv?duos abordados foram os que se encontravam mais acess?veis e dispon?veis no momento e as entrevistas foram realizadas na presen?a dos l?deres comunit?rios de ambas as ?reas. Atrav?s da an?lise do discurso dos entrevistados p?de-se concluir que a popula??o entrevistada est? exposta a um alto grau de vulnerabilidade e riscos. Por?m, identificaram-se diferen?as significativas entre a percep??o de riscos no Complexo Passo da P?tria e no bairro Cidade Nova, haja visto que na primeira ?rea os entrevistados reconhecerem o alto risco ? que est?o expostos de maneira mais enf?tica em compara??o aos entrevistados do bairro Cidade Nova. Al?m disso, h? uma grande insatisfa??o da popula??o das duas localidades quanto ao posicionamento da prefeitura em rela??o aos problemas presentes nas ?reas de estudo. Identificou-se, tamb?m o desenvolvimento de estrat?gias de conviv?ncia com o risco nos locais de pesquisa, al?m de um sentimento de pertencimento e afei??o entre os moradores e seu espa?o; por?m com maior evid?ncia no Complexo Passo da P?tria. Atrav?s dessa an?lise foi poss?vel compreender a percep??o e o comportamento de indiv?duos ou grupos sociais diante dos riscos, como aceita??o e rejei??o de determinados riscos, al?m de medidas de adapta??o e conviv?ncia com a presen?a constante de riscos. Portanto, pesquisas de natureza qualitativa com ?nfase na abordagem perceptiva s?o de fundamental import?ncia nos estudos sobre riscos, sendo poss?vel oferecer subs?dios ao planejamento e gest?o urbana na implanta??o de medidas preventivas eficazes e compat?veis com os anseios da popula??o

The Management Skills is concerned to understand the powers of officials in the face of organizational skills (teams) and professionals (or tasks positions) want. Joints are located in the greater context of the economy of organizatio s and have the same assumption: that the possession of scarce resources, valuable and difficult to imitate gives the organization a competitive advantage. In this sense, this thesis proposes a model of knowledge management based on analysis of GAP of powers, namely the gap between the skills needed to reach the expected performance and skills already available in the organization, officials and trainees of Coordination of Registration of conductors of DETRAN-RN. Using the method of survey research could make an analysis of academic skills, techniques and emotional individual and a team of officials and trainees, identifying levels of GAP's competence in that sector of the organization and suggest a plan for training , A level of expertise for each sector of coordination, and propose a model for Knowledge Management to help the management of GAP's identified / A Gest?o do Conhecimento nas organiza??es ? um processo continuo de aprendizagem que se d? pela integra??o de dados, informa??es e a capacidade das pessoas em utilizar estas informa??es.

Para isso utilizou-se a metodologia An?lise Envolt?ria de Dados (DEA) com orienta??o produto, onde verificou-se a fronteira de efici?ncia e a efici?ncia relativa dos prestadores de servi?o levando em conta o uso dos recursos p?blicos em detrimento a abrang?ncia dos servi?os e desempenho financeiro antes e ap?s a implementa??o da Lei Nacional do Saneamento B?sico - LNSB, posteriormente aplicou-se o ?ndice de Malmquist para analisar a din?mica de produtividade dos fatores entre os anos, observou-se uma melhoria na produtividade em todos os per?odos analisados, entretanto o per?odo posterior a LNSB apresentou menor avan?o em rela??o ao per?odo anterior, fato este atribu?do a maior redu??o do efeito emparelhamento aliada ao baixo crescimento do efeito deslocamento. Al?m disto observou-se menor melhoria de produtividade no per?odo agregado (2002-2012) do que nos dois outros per?odos, onde apesar de apresentar o maior efeito emparelhamento dos intervalos, observou-se regress?o tecnol?gica. / This paper carries out an evaluation of Brazilian services water supply and sanitary sewers in the years 2002, 2007 and 2012 based on the principles and guidelines of public governance. For this we used the methodology Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with guidance product, where it was the efficient frontier and the relative of service providers efficiency taking into account the use of public resources over the scope of services and financial performance before and after the implementation of the National Basic Sanitation Law - LNSB subsequently applied the Malmquist Index to analyze the dynamics of factor productivity between years, there was an improvement in productivity in all periods analyzed, however the period after LNSB showed less improvement over the previous period, a fact attributed to greater reduction of the pairing effect coupled with low growth in displacement effect. In addition there was less improved productivity in the aggregate period (2002-2012) than in the two other periods where despite having the greatest effect annealing of the intervals, we observed technological regression.

O termo emancipa??o tem sido gerador de discord?ncias e pol?micas, tendo-se em conta o fato de que a mulher, mesmo havendo ingressado no mercado de trabalho, continua a exercer os pap?is socialmente impostos ? o de m?e, esposa e dona de casa. Em paralelo, as revistas femininas, em especial a revista Claudia, assumiram o prop?sito de orientar as mulheres no desempenho de suas muitas fun??es: como educar os filhos, como cuidar do lar, como agradar o c?njuge, e at? como ter sucesso na carreira profissional. Circunscrita nesse contexto, esta tese visa revelar as perman?ncias e as rupturas que se manifestam nos discursos femininos registrados na fanpage Claudia online, testemunhando como os pap?is sociais e as rela??es de poder influenciam na (trans)forma??o das identidades femininas. Em fun??o desse alcance, buscou-se uma sustenta??o te?rica nos postulados da An?lise Cr?tica do Discurso (ACD); mais especificamente, na Abordagem Sociol?gica e Comunicacional do Discurso (ASCD) ?, que, por sua vez, est? sendo desenvolvida na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, em concomit?ncia com a Universidade Federal de Sergipe, sob a coordena??o da professora Dr.? Cleide Em?lia Faye Pedrosa (PEDROSA, 2012). Tamb?m se fez ancoragem, neste percurso investigativo, em saberes da Lingu?stica Sist?mico-Funcional (LSF); especialmente, no que concerne ao Sistema de Avaliatividade; na Sociologia para Mudan?a Social e nos Estudos Culturais. A ancoragem metodol?gica firma-se no paradigma qualitativo-interpretativista (MOITA LOPES, 2006), circunscrito ?s Ci?ncias Humanas e Sociais, com foco na Lingu?stica Aplicada (LA). O corpus comp?e-se de vinte e quatro postagens, divididas em seis tem?ticas recorrentes na fanpage Claudia online. Os resultados indicam que a fanpage Claudia online discute, de fato, os pap?is que as mulheres exercem em nosso meio social. Observa-se, ainda, que alguns desses pap?is foram solidificados devido aos par?metros conservadores da sociedade, perpetuando-se por muitas gera??es e sendo naturalizados ao sexo feminino. A constata??o ?, pois, a de que h? perman?ncia dos pap?is impostos, e de que, na modernidade recente, as mulheres passaram a exercer outros tantos pap?is, merecendo destacar o fato de que, hoje, a mulher trabalha fora, investe na forma??o acad?mica, frequenta academia diariamente, dirige autom?vel, participa das reuni?es escolares dos filhos, vai ao sal?o de beleza, administra o pr?prio sal?rio, delega fun??es ? secret?ria dom?stica; enfim, executa muitas tarefas concomitantemente, configurando-se, assim, o ac?mulo de fun??es exercidas pelas mulheres, o que justifica a atribui??o do r?tulo de ?mulher maravilha?, e leva ? ruptura nos padr?es e na execu??o dos pap?is femininos. / The roles played by women in late modernity (MOITA LOPES, 2013) encouraged the interest of a great number of national and international researchers. The term emancipating in anyway has been of disagreement and controversy, taking into account the fact that the woman, even though has conquered the labor market, continues to play the roles imposed by society ? of mother, wife and of housewife. At the same time, women's magazines, mainly Claudia magazine, have assumed the purpose to guide women in the performance of their multiple functions: how to educate their children, how to take care of their home, how to please their spouse, and even how to succeed in their professional careers. Circumscribed in this context, this thesis aims at investigating the permanence and the ruptures that are expressed in women's speeches posted in the fan page of Claudia magazine online, testifying how social roles and power relations influence the (trans)formation of female identities. Due to this scope, this research is based on the theoretical framework postulated by the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA); specifically, in the Sociological and Communication of Discourse Approaches (ASCD) ? that is being developed at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, in partnership with the Universidade Federal de Sergipe, coordinated by the PhD Profesor Cleide Emilia Faye Pedrosa (Pedrosa, 2012). This study is also based, during the investigation, on knowledge of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL); especially regarding to the Appraisal System; in Sociology for Social Change and Cultural Studies. Methodologically, the research is anchored in the qualitative-interpretative paradigm (MOITA LOPES, 2006), circumscribed to Human and Social Sciences, focusing on Applied Linguistics (LA). The data of this research is made up of twenty-four postings, divided into six recurring themes, in the fan page of Claudia Magazine online. The results show that the fan page Claudia online, in fact, discusses the roles that women play in our social context. It is also observed that some of these roles were solidified due to conservative parameters of society, perpetuating itself for many generations and being naturalized to female gender. The finding is, therefore, that there is a permanence of the imposed roles, and that, in late modernity, women have come to play so many other roles, deserving to highlight the fact that nowadays the woman works outside, invests in academic education, visits regularly the gym, drives a car, attends the school meetings of their children, frequents beauty salon, manages their own incomes, delegates household jobs to the housemaid; finally, she carries out many tasks simultaneously, establishing thus the accumulation of positions held by women, which justifies the label attributes of "wonder woman", and leads to disruption in patterns and in the implementation of women's roles.

Title: The influence of family background on children's physical activities Objectives: The main goal of this thesis is to offer a complex analysis of the activities children pursue in their spare time and their correlation to the conditions in which they were raised at home. The focus is on to what extent the family background influences the choice of activities undertaken by children in their spare time and by what means it could be possible to increase the share of physical activities with regards to family involvement, particularly concerning the parents. Methods: The thesis is split into two main parts. The first part focuses on theory and attempts to describe the principal terms and concepts related to the subject matter, such as exercise regimen, physical activity, health and others. The second part of the thesis concerns the research on how the family environment influences the activities pursued by children in their spare time. The research was conducted in the form of a questionnaire survey. Results: The research uncovered that boys spend more of their spare time occupied with electronic devices (mobile phone, computer, television and others) compared to girls of the same age. Another part of the research proved correlation between the attained level of education of the parents and the...

Esta tese tem como objetivo geral verificar, a partir da experiência do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), traços que apontem o potencial e os limites do ensino médio integrado (com base na formação humana integral e no trabalho como princípio educativo) de enfrentamento à dualidade que historicamente caracteriza a educação escolar no Brasil. Para realizar este estudo, como procedimento metodológico, utiliza-se de uma triangulação de fontes construída a partir das observações de campo, entrevistas e análises de documentos oficiais do IFRS. Observa-se a experiência do ensino médio integrado neste instituto como síntese de uma totalidade repleta de contradições e possibilidades de intervenção. Por outro lado, mesmo sintetizando a totalidade, reconhecesse as especificidades do integrado nesta instituição como um todo e nos campus que compõe o IFRS. Destaca-se que, no atual cenário de políticas de educação no Brasil, a etapa final da educação básica está em evidência e disputa. No centro de tal disputa, de um lado estão às propostas da classe dominante defendendo que a oferta pública de ensino médio deve se concretizar de forma massificada, desqualificada, fragmentada e com recorte de classe na sua finalidade (com vistas à universidade para os ricos e tecnicistas para os trabalhadores). Do outro lado, encontram-se as propostas dos movimentos sociais que defendem um ensino médio público de qualidade, com vistas à formação humana integral, como um direito e como dever do Estado e da sociedade. Neste contexto, a experiência do ensino médio integrado no IFRS apresenta traços indicativos de inflexões e, ao mesmo tempo, na perspectiva da contradição, vivencia obstáculos para serem transpostos até a sua consolidação. Assim, pode se tornar referência para o ensino médio ofertado nas diferentes redes públicas de educação brasileira. / This thesis has as main objective to verify, from the experience of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), traits that point the potential and limits of integrated high school (based on integral human formation and at work as an educational principle) to confront the duality that historically characterizes education in Brazil. To conduct this study, the methodological procedure used is a source of triangulation constructed from the field observations, interviews and analysis of official documents of IFRS. Note the high school experience built in this institute as a synthesis of a totality full of contradictions and possibilities of intervention. On the other hand, even summarizing all, recognize the specifics of the integrated this institution as a whole and on campuses that make up the IFRS. It is noteworthy that, in the current education policies scenario in Brazil, the final stage of basic education is in evidence and dispute. In the center of this dispute, on the one hand are the proposals of the ruling class arguing that high school public offering should take place in mass form, disqualified, fragmented and with class cut in their purpose (aimed at university for the rich and technicists for workers). On the other hand, are the proposals of social movements that advocate a public high school quality, with a view to integral human formation, as a right and a duty of the state and society. In this context, the experience of integrated high school in IFRS presents predictive traits of inflections and at the same time, in view of the contradiction, experiencing obstacles to be overcome to its consolidation. Thus, it can become a reference for high school offered in the various public networks of Brazilian education.

Temporary residence permit for partners of EU citizens Abstract This thesis is focused on the administrative proceedings on the application for the granting of the temporary residence permit for the partners of EU citizens being considered as their family members. This paper analyses two statutory substantive conditions (permanent partner relationship (common-law marriage) that is not a marriage and cohabitation in a common household) and one procedural condition (the burden of proof lays primarily upon the applicant), which need to be fulfilled c umulatively i n o rder t o b e a ble to consider a partner of an EU citizen as a family member of an EU citizen and so more favourable treatment stated in the Directive 2004/38/ES can be applied. I have found that a common-law marriage shall be an analogy of the marriage in terms of its nature and intensity; its permanency is especially a question of quantity, i.e. length of its duration, however it shall not be the only aspect, it is also needed to take into consideration the quality of the relationship, which can rest for example in a common obligation. Not only common past is therefore decisive, but also the planned common future. Cohabitation in a common household can be defined a s a n i n a dvance n ot t ime l imited c ohabitation of a common-law wife and...
