Due to the fast enlargement and complexity of systems used among telecommunication companies, the need for automatically testing has grown. The changeable nature of these systems makes implementation of automated testing to a difficult task. Finding an automated testing technique that is suitable for these types of systems is the subject of this thesis and several different types of scripting techniques has been considered. To be able to conduct this, an industrial case study is used; which shows how scripting techniques are affected by different types of changeability occurring in a system. / Marjaana Tienaho E-mail: Marjaana_tienaho@spray.se Jesús Barrio E-mail: jesus_barrio@hotmail.com E-mail: jesus_barrio@hotmail.com

nÃo hà / Este trabalho de pesquisa tem como principal objetivo propor um modelo economÃtrico com dados em painel, validado por anÃlise empÃrica, para identificar os impactos nos resultados da empresa apÃs a implementaÃÃo de um amplo programa de remuneraÃÃo variÃvel. Adicionalmente, pretende-se identificar se os diferentes perfis sÃcio-econÃmicos dos empregados podem trazer resultados diferentes com a implantaÃÃo do programa. A anÃlise à baseada em uma mudanÃa na estrutura salarial de toda a equipe de vendas ocorrida na empresa em 2005. Esse âexperimento naturalâ foi fundamental para a anÃlise economÃtrica, com variÃveis macroeconÃmicas, microeconÃmicas, sÃcio-econÃmicas e a introduÃÃo da remuneraÃÃo variÃvel. Ao final do estudo empÃrico, baseando se em pesquisa realizada em autores como Ehrenberg (2000), Robert Milgrom (1992), Misra (2005), Coughlan (1989), Lazear (2000), Basu (1985) e na J. Macedo S/A, o objetivo principal foi atendido, ou seja, foi demonstrado que a implementaÃÃo do novo modelo de remuneraÃÃo variÃvel trouxe um resultado bastante positivo sobre o volume vendido na empresa. A estimaÃÃo do coeficiente da variÃvel dummy representativa da implementaÃÃo do programa constatou, com alto grau de significÃncia estatÃstica, um aumento mensal de 32,8 toneladas na mÃdia da quantidade vendida por vendedor. / This research work has as main objective to propose an econometrical model with panel data, validated by empirical analysis, to identify the impacts in the results of the company, after the implementation of an ample salesforce compensation program. Additionally, is intended to identify if the different social-economic profiles of the employees can bring different results with the implantation of the program. The analysis is based on a change in the wage structure of the salesforce occurred in the company in 2005. This "natural experiment" was basic for the econometrical analysis, with macroeconomic, microeconomic and social-economic variables and the introduction of the program. To the end of the empirical study, being based on research carried through in authors as Ehrenberg (2000), Robert Milgrom (1992), Misra (2005), Coughlan (1989), Lazear (2000), Basu (1985) and in the J. Macedo S/A, the main objective was achieved, in other words, it was demonstrated that the implementation of the new compensation model brought a strong positive result on the volume sold. The estimation of the coefficient of the dummy variable, representative of the implementation of the program, evidenced, with high statistic significance degree, a monthly increase of 32.8 tons in the average of the amount sold for salesman.

Inse mitt värde och behåll mig en stund till är ett utforskande projekt i hållbar textildesign. Huvudfokuset i projektet är att utforska vilka möjliga designlösningar som kan ge produkter egenskapen av föränderlighet och på så vis möjliggöra en förlängning av deras livscykler. Detta undersöks utifrån ett eget formulerat förhållningssätt till hållbar design, genom praktiska experimentella undersökningar av olika material och föränderliga mönsterbilder. Detta kombinerat med att ge konsumenten en aktiv roll i förändring av en produkts utseende och funktion. Projektet resulterar i tre produktprototyper som på olika sätt gestaltar föränderlighet och det formulerade förhållningssättet. 1. Mossa, en tröja gjord av rundstickat, jacquard trikåtyg med materialkombinationen Sally Fox bomull och oblekt bomull. Textilen är ett följsamt mjukt tyg med en mönsterbild som ändrar nyans för varje gång konsumenten tvättar den. 2. Kotte, ett påslakan och örngott gjord av en fem-skaftad satängväv i jacquard- teknik. En textil där mönsterbild och färg inverteras på den aviga sidan. Sängklädernas estetiska uttryck kan förnyas av konsumenten själv genom växtfärgning. 3. Bark, en ullfilt gjord av flatstickad dubbelrelief stickning med olika maskstorlekar i jacquardteknik. Filten kan transformeras av konsumenten själv, genom tvättning, och då få en ny funktion som matta. Den går då från en mjuk, tvådimensionell och följsam textil till en kompakt, tredimensionell tålig textil. / Recognise my value and keep me a while longer is an exploratory project in sustainable textile design. The focus is to explore possible design solutions that can give products a property transformation over time and prolong the products life cycle. This through practical investigations with different materials based on a chosen approach to sustainable design and changeable pattern images. Also with aim to give the consumer an active role in the changing of a products appearance and function. The end result is three product prototypes that all in different ways exemplify the chosen approach to sustainable design. 1. Moss is a jumper made of circular knitted jacquard fabric with the material combination Sally Fox cotton and unbleached cotton. The fabric is conformable and soft with a pattern that changes hue strength for each time the consumer washes it. The changing pattern makes the jumper interesting because it´s expression changes slowly while it´s being used. 2. Cone is a duvet and pillow cover that is made of a five shed satin jacquard weave. The textile pattern and colour is inverted on the back and front side of the textile. The aesthetic expression of the bed clothing can be renewed by the consumer through vegetable dyes. 3. Bark is a flat knitted, dubble relief, jacquard wool blanket. The blanket can be transformed by the consumer, through washing, and then get a new function as a rug. The textile goes from a soft, two-dimensional, flexible and somewhat fragile textile into a compact, three-dimensional durable textile.

Sparti Lietuvos visuomenės raida kelia naujus reikalavimus asmenims ir juos ugdančiai švietimo sistemai: didėja pedogogo profesinės veiklos laukas, keičiasi mokytojo vaidmuo ugdymo procese, mokytojo darbas tampa vis sudėtingesnis ir reikalaujantis daugiau meistriškumo, vadovavimo, bendravimo, bendradarbiavimo, nuolatinio mokymosi. Todėl pedagogo socialinė kompetencija, kurios pagrindinės dimensijos yra nuolatinis mokymasis, bendravimas bei bendradarbiavimas, tampa viena svarbiausių, o jos tobulinimas- būtinybe. Šiame darbe siekiama išryškinti esminius neformalaus švietimo pedagogų socialinės kompetencijos raiškos ypatumus visuotinės kaitos kontekste bei išsiaiškinti meno mokyklų pedagogų požiūrį į neformalaus švietimo pedagogo socialinę kompetenciją ir jos tobulinimo galimybes siekiant ugdymo kokybės. / Rapid development of Lithuanian society raises new requirements to individuals and education system, which educates them: professional activities’ area of an educator is enlarging, the role of a teacher in educational process is changing, work of a teacher is becoming more sophisticated and it requires more skills, leadership, communication, cooperation, and continual learning. Due to this fact social competence of an educator, which main dimensions is continual learning, communication and cooperation, has become one of the most important things, and its perfection is necessity. The main goals of the work is to point out substantial peculiarities of social competence expression of educators of non-formal education in the context of universal alternation and to ascertain attitude of art schools’ teachers towards social competence of an educator of non-formal education and possibilities of its development in order to achieve the quality of education.

Utilizamos um modelo de regressão múltipla para tentar averiguar se as variáveis retorno, risco, rede de distribuição, tamanho dos fundos e o fluxo agregado para a indústria influenciam o comportamento dos fluxos de recursos para nossa amostra composta por mais de 150 fundos de ações das mais diversas instituições. / [en] This Master`s Degree dissertation aims to investigate the variables that might influence the flow of resources to equity funds in Brazil between July 1997 and June 2001. We used a General Linear Model (GLM) to verify if variables such as return, risk, distribution network, funds net worth and the aggregate flow of funds to the industry can explain the flow of resources to each of more than 150 equity funds that compose our sample.

’Point of view’ is an investigation of changeable surface patterns in the textile design field. The investigation is performed in order to get a deeper understanding of the relationship between changeable surface patterns and three-dimensional contexts to explore alternative methods.  The aim is to design surface patterns in a three dimensional context developed through printing and layering techniques, and to explore how the patterns change depending on the observer’s perspective. Practice based design experiments were carried out to explore materials and printing techniques such as transfer, digital and burn out. The patterns were in turn placed on a cubic frame with inner and outer layers, and studied for their effects on one another.  The project resulted in a series of surface patterns that were applied in a spatial context. The findings propose an alternative method for designing changeable surface patterns in a three-dimensional setting, using layers, transparency and distance as factors.
