Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica, com abordagem qualitativa. A escolha do campo de investigação considerou o critério da relevância social da pesquisa, a partir do pressuposto de que a educação, como política pública de corte social, pode contribuir para a transformação de uma realidade. O estudo se desenvolveu em dois municípios e quatro escolas da Região Metropolitana de Salvador, a partir das categorias analíticas Dimensão Pedagógica da Gestão Educacional e Qualidade Social da Educação. Essas categorias foram contextualizadas no campo maior da Política Educacional enquanto política pública da área social e da Gestão Educacional como a atividade política e administrativa contextualizada, cujo objetivo é transformar metas e projetos em ações, a fim de alcançar os objetivos propriamente educacionais das redes de ensino. A gestão foi considerada como um elemento inerente à qualidade da educação, cuja forma, organização, concepção e desenvolvimento são determinantes para os resultados educacionais produzidos. O estudo demonstrou que a dimensão pedagógica da gestão educacional no campo investigado não tem sido priorizada como deveria, seja pela própria estrutura organizacional da gestão consolidada nessas realidades, seja pela precariedade das condições em que ela se desenvolve. Nessas circunstâncias, não se tem conseguido dispensar a atenção necessária para a dimensão pedagógica. A qualidade social da educação, nos termos em que foi definida para este estudo, ainda é uma construção a ser buscada, uma vez que o arranjo de gestão vigente no campo investigado não tem permitido sua realização plena. Para alcançar esse ideal de qualidade da educação, seria necessário que os municípios pesquisados reorganizassem sua gestão, tendo a dimensão pedagógica como sua instância prioritária, resguardando sua função preponderante de promoção e desenvolvimento da formação humana, através dos processos educativos, ensino e aprendizagem de qualidade socialmente referenciada para todos os alunos. / ABSTRACT The goals of this research were to analyze the scope of educational administration, it's institutional organization and development, and the implications regarding the availability of quality education. With such objectives in mind, an empirical study was conducted, under a qualitative approach. The focus of the research reflects social relevance of the study, based on the principle that education in times of governmental funding cuts, can influence a transformation of reality. The study was carried out in a total of four schools, sourced from two different municipalities within the Metropolitan Region of Salvador. The categories of analysis included scope of educational administration and social quality of education. These categories were examined in light of the politics of education, in addition to the factors of governmental social agencies and educational administration. Also relevant were the political and administrative organizations empowered to transform goals and projects into realities - in order to fulfil the fundamental objectives of the educational system. An inherent element of educational quality, educational administration was studied. Specifically the conception, organization and subsequent development of administration, which contribute to educational results. The study showed that the scope of educational administration in the surveyed field was not prioritized as it should have been, due to the precarious conditions existent within the system. Under such conditions the requisite attention for desirable educational scope was not supplied. The social quality of education, set out by this study remains a construct, yet to be achieved, and not fully realized given current educational administration. In order to accomplish such a level of educational quality, it is recommended that the municipalities studied reorganize their educational administration, with a focus on educational scope - and giving priority to the promotion and development of learning for all students.

Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Juliana Cristina Braga / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Computação, 2016. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo o estudo de aplicativos móveis a serem utilizados no âmbito acadêmico pelas pessoas com deficiência visual, devido ao fato dos dispositivos móveis apresentarem grande potencial de uso por parte dos deficientes visuais para a melhoria da vida cotidiana no âmbito acadêmico. No entanto, os aplicativos existentes possuem baixa acessibilidade, dificultando o uso destes pelas pessoas com deficiência visual na vida acadêmica, pois no desenvolvimento destes aplicativos não foram levados em conta as suas necessidades e capacidades específicas. A ideia que se procura fundamentar ao longo deste trabalho é a de que as tecnologias móveis, quando inseridas nos contextos educacionais, são importantes aliadas que possibilitam a formação dos alunos com deficiência visual e a transformação de suas práticas no ambiente escolar. O método utilizado para responder a uma das questões de pesquisa, foi à pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza exploratória, por meio de uma pesquisa em campo, mediante coleta de dados através de reuniões, diários, questionários, observações direta e conversas informais. Outro método utilizado foi o da revisão sistemática que permitiu a identificação de subsídios e aplicativos móveis acessíveis, desenvolvidos para a inclusão das pessoas com deficiência visual no âmbito acadêmico. Em complementação a este estudo de campo foi realizado um estudo de usabilidade de uma ferramenta escolhida, em que as interfaces desta ferramenta foram avaliadas por meio de um método empírico (testes com usuários). Durante o teste de usabilidade foi constatado uma grande dificuldade dos participantes em relação ao uso do teclado virtual, e a correta utilização das cores podem ajudar as pessoas de Baixa Visão e Visão Subnormal a lerem textos e a identificarem figuras (ícones, formas geométricas e etc.). Por meio dos resultados obtidos nas etapas anteriores, foi possível o desenvolvimento de soluções que puderam ser tangibilizadas na prototipação. Durante todas as etapas do trabalho foi feita a adoção da metodologia Design Thinking, que representou uma forma de pensar de maneira criativa, além de olhar para os problemas como oportunidades na construção de soluções para estes problemas. Por fim, o trabalho revela a importância de se atentar aos requisitos de usabilidade, de modo a garantir a qualidade e satisfação de uso das interfaces dos aplicativos móveis por pessoas com deficiência visual. / The study aims to study mobile applications to be used in the academic field by people with visual impairment, due to the fact that mobile devices present great potential for use by the visually impaired to improve daily life in the academic scope. However, existing applications have low accessibility, making it difficult by people with visual impairment to use in academic life, because their specific needs and abilities were not taken into account in the development of these applications. The idea behind this study is that mobile technologies, when inserted in educational contexts, are important allies that enable the training of visually impaired students and the transformation of their practices in the school environment. The method used to answer one of the research questions was qualitative research, of an exploratory nature, through field research, through data collection through meetings, journals, questionnaires, direct observations and informal conversations. Another method used was the systematic review that allowed the identification of subsidies and accessible mobile applications developed for the inclusion of people with visual impairment in the academic field. In addition to this field study, a usability study of a chosen tool was done, in which the interface of this tool was evaluated through an empirical method (tests with users). During the usability test it was observed that participants had a great difficulty in using the virtual keyboard and the correct use of colors can help people of Low Vision and Subnormal Vision to read texts and to identify pictures (icons, geometric shapes and so on). Through the results obtained in the previous steps, it was possible to develop solutions that could be tangibilized in prototyping. During all stages of the work was adopted the Design Thinking methodology that represented a way of thinking in a creative way, besides looking at problems as opportunities in the construction of solutions to these problems. Finally, the work reveals the importance of paying attention to usability requirements, in order to guarantee the quality and satisfaction of using the mobile application interfaces by people with visual impairment.

The quality of a product depends on the quality of the underlying process is a well known fact. Software development organizations have been struggling to decrease their cost, increase their ROI, reduce time-to-market, and enhance the quality of their products. This all depends upon the improvement in the processes they are following inside their organizations. A number of software process improvement models exist in market, e.g., CMMI, SPICE and Automotive SPICE. But before an organization can improve its development and management processes, it is very important to know whether it is following the right processes. There exist a number of software development process models, mainly categorized into Traditional and Agile, which provide the step-by-step guidance to develop and manage the software projects.The current thesis presents a study of software process improvement models in automotive industry, their weaknesses and strengths and presents a comparison of how do they relate to each other. This thesis also explores some software development models which are more famous in automotive industry, and the applicability of process improvement models in conjunction with the Agile software development models. A case study was performed at an automotive software supplier organization to investigate the experience of combining Agile practices with organization’s company-tailored software development model that was incorporating Automotive SPICE standards.

Thesis title: Contractual liability and its limitation The aim of the thesis is to assess the options of parties to a contract when settling liability rules diversify from the standards of Czech Civil Code (Act. 89/2012 Coll). The author provides introduction of multiple ways of how the parties can limit their contractual liability and emphasize that the aim of any liability is to motivate subjects to pay attention to the opposite party's rights and assets, but in the context of Civil Code its main function is to repair damages and satisfy the injured party. The subject which is in breach of its duties therefore gets new or alternated duties, as well as the injured party gains more rights on its side. For the scope of liability, it is important to define the content of the contract as the parties see it in the moment of the contract's conclusion. The content does not consist only of rights and duties connected to the fulfilment of the contract object matter, but it also consists of duties to respect other interests of the opposite party, so the status quo in respect to matters not connected with the fulfilment of the obligations remain untouched. Such a protective aim arises out of strengthened confidence of the relation between contractual parties and can be mainly seen as a duty of prevention and...

En el ámbito de las telecomunicaciones, contar con un teléfono celular es indispensable. Esta necesidad genera que los fabricantes de celulares cuenten con un plan que permita lanzar nuevos modelos de manera periódica, a fin de brindar a los operadores móviles (y, entonces, al usuario final) nuevas alternativas de celulares no solo al alcance de sus posibilidades económicas, sino que otorguen las funcionalidades esperadas. Para llevar a cabo estos lanzamientos, la empresa de diseño, fabricación, distribución, importación y comercialización de celulares (en adelante, empresa de celulares) cuenta con proyectos que buscan cumplir con los acuerdos comerciales firmados con operadores móviles de cada país para la entrega de modelos de celulares en un plazo determinado. Estos proyectos, al lanzar un teléfono celular de gama media, generan un ingreso aproximado de USD 1,800,000. El presente trabajo de investigación refiere a una fase del lanzamiento -cuya duración es 09 meses- que incluye la certificación, importación, gestión de marketing y venta de un primer lote de celulares, contemplando una inversión máxima de USD 385,000 para obtener una rentabilidad total del 40%, preparando al mercado para las siguientes dos órdenes de compra que se acuerdan con un operador telefónico en el acuerdo comercial. El éxito de estos proyectos requieren alinearse con los objetivos organizacionales, gestionar los interesados, conocer y cumplir los estándares de calidad necesarios para fabricar y distribuir celulares, cumplir con los requerimientos de costos establecidos, brindar capacitación al soporte de ventas, identificar y gestionar los riesgos involucrados y, gestionar el cronograma para los lanzamientos. / Nowadays, having a smartphone is essential. This necessity make that the manufacturers of these devices take in consideration a plan that allows them to launch several new models of smartphones periodically. Manufacturers offer mobile operators (and hence also to end-user) new affordable models with all the features they seek. In order to have succesuful launches, the company of design, manufacturing, distribution, import and sale of smartphones (from this point forward, smartphone company) have projects which main objective is to comply with the operators’ commercial agreements in each country. These projects, launch of a mid range smartphone, generate revenues of USD 1,800,000. This research cover the launching phase -which last nine months- and it includes the certification, import, management of marketing activites and sell of the first shipment. It considers a maximum investment of USD 385,000 to obtain a 40% profit and prepares the market for future purchase orders from the operator’s commercial agreements. The key to successful projects require to be aligned with the organization objectives, manage the stakeholers, know and comply with the quality standards needed to develop and manufacture smartphones, comply with the cost’s requirements defined, provide training to support the sales force, identify and manage the risks and the schedule stablished for the launch of the product.. / Trabajo de investigación

Students who attended preschool in an urban Michigan district are not entering kindergarten with the necessary skills. The preschool implemented the HighScope curriculum and the effect of this curriculum on kindergarten readiness was unknown. The purpose of this causal-comparative study was to investigate the difference in kindergarten readiness scores of students who attended a preschool before and after the High Scope curriculum was implemented. The pedagogical practices of preschool and the HighScope curriculum align with Dewey and Vygotsky's theories on experiential learning which were the foundation that guided this causal comparative study. The research questions examined preschool letter identification and sound identification, kindergarten letter identification and sound identification, and end of kindergarten reading level for students before and after the HighScope implementation. A MANOVA was used to examine ex post facto scores of the preschool and kindergarten Michigan Literacy Progress Profile and kindergarten end of the year Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment reading level data to analyze the 5 dependent variables of 218 students who attended preschool before and after the implementation of the HighScope curriculum. The MANOVA indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the literacy scores, F (10, 424) = 10.286, p = <.0005, Pillai's Trace = .39, partial ï?¨2 = .195. By examining data on literacy outcomes, the effectiveness of the HighScope curriculum in the preschool was highlighted for district leaders. The findings of this study may contribute to positive social change by encouraging early learning educators to plan curriculum and professional development that focuses on letter identification and letter sound skills to improve the literacy foundation of entering kindergarten students.
