Dicionário técnico-bilíngue Inglês-Português da subárea do Check-list / Glossary bilingual-technique English-Portuguese of Check-list subarea

Eloiza Terezinha Fernandes da Silva 30 July 2009 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho e apresentar o resultado de uma pesquisa terminologica/ terminograca bilngue Ingl^es/Portugu^es das unidades terminologicas dos Procedimentos Operacionais de Cabine, da area de Aviac~ao Comercial, e da subarea do Check-list. A partir da organizac~ao das unidades terminologicas em forma alfab etica construmos um dicionario terminologico dessa area. Para a concretizac~ao desse objetivo, selecionamos e escolhemos os contextos que descreveram o conteudo sem^antico-conceptual dos termos. Para a realizac~ao deste trabalho utilizamos os corpora documental e de par^ametro para a extrac~ao, selec~ao e denic~ao dos termos. A composic~ao do perl tematico da subarea do Check-list foi feita atraves da utilizac~ao de textos de carater denitorios e explicativos, porque apresentam esses uma densidade terminologica alta. A maioria das unidades terminologicas tratadas s~ao termos compostos que subsumem o princpio da transpar^encia, o princpio da adequac~ao e o princpio da produtividade. Todos os termos includos nesta pesquisa, para a constru c~ao do dicionario terminologico bilngue, apresentam a estrutura hierarquica do vocabularo do Check-list. / The objective of this study is to present the result of a bilingual English-Portuguese terminological/terminographical research, which describes the terminological units of the Cockpit Training Procedure related to the Business Aviation area, and to the Check-list subarea. A dictionary was done due to the organization of the terminological units in alphabetical sequence. To achieve this goal, we selected and chose the contexts that describe the semantic and conceptual content of all terms. To carry out this task, the documental and the parameter corpora were used to extract, select and to dene the terms. The setting of the thematic prole of the Checklist was done through the use of dening and explanatory texts as they present a great terminological density. The majority of terminological units used in this study were compound terms which subsume the principle of transpar^encia, the principle of appropriateness and, the principle of derivability. All the terms included in this research to build up the bilingual terminological dicitionary present a hierarchical structure of the Check-list vocabulary.

Välbefinnande och Kognitiv Prestation : En experimentell studie om positiv sinnesstämning främjar kreativitet och flexibelt tänkande / Positive affect and cognitive performance : An experimental study exploring if positive affect promotes creativity and flexible thinking

Mariannesdotter, Joline, Sandgren, Oskar January 2014 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to investigate, through an experiment, if positive mood promotes creativity and flexible thinking. Participants were a total of 93 college students. The main hypothesis was that subjects induced with positive mood would perform better than subjects induced with negative mood, at a test reflecting creativity. To further explore the implications of priming (subliminal manipulated moods), a neutral control group was included. The cognitive test used in the study was Duncker´s The Candle Problem, a test which aims to get the subjects to apply flexible and creative thinking. The priming methods applied in the study was music and video clips. To measure the participant’s subjective mood a self-report scale, Mood Adjective Check List (MACL), was included as a successful manipulation control. The result showed a clear relationship between positive and negative priming, implying that subjects induced with positive mood performed significantly better than subjects induced with negative mood. There was no significant relationship between the groups induced with neutral and negative mood. / Syftet med studien var att genom ett experiment utforska om positiv sinnesstämning främjar kreativitet och flexibelt tänkande. Deltagarna i experimentet var totalt 93 studenter. Den huvudsakliga hypotesen var att deltagare inducerade till positivt känslotillstånd skulle prestera bättre än deltagare inducerade till negativt känslotillstånd, på ett kreativitetsreflekterande test. För att närmare undersöka påverkan av priming (subliminalt manipulerade känslotillstånd) inkluderades även en neutral kontrollgrupp. Testet som användes var Dunckers The Candle Problem. Syftet med testet var att få deltagarna att tillämpa flexibelt och kreativt tänkande. Priming-metoden som användes i experimentet bestod av musik och filmklipp. För att mäta deltagarnas subjektiva känslotillstånd tillämpades formuläret Mood Adjective Check List (MACL) som en framgångsrik manipulationskontroll. Ur resultatet utlästes en tydlig relation mellan positiv och negativ priming, att deltagare som fått positiv priming klarade testet signifikant bättre än deltagare med negativ priming. Mellan grupperna som inducerats med neutral och negativ sinnesstämning upptäcktes dock ingen signifikant relation.

The methodology that was used is the data collection in the field of measuring thickness of the paint protection of apparent metal structures and photographic record of the problems of works, such as pathological manifestations of steel, paint, water accumulation sites etc. With the obtained data, the spreadsheet will be filled, depending on the model suggested by Mortari, 2008. In completing the Check list, it is easier to diagnose the structure, mainly because the diagnosis is last. / Recentemente têm-se percebido que alguns edifícios construídos em estruturas de aço na Cidade de Goiânia, vêm mostrando um processo progressivo de corrosão em seus sistemas estruturais, e em parte, como por exemplo: treliças, vigas, pilares etc. Tal sucessão foi percebida visualmente, devido às condições de agressividades ligadas primordialmente ao microambiente interno das edificações, chuva e fezes de animais. A Metodologia que foi empregada é o levantamento dos dados em campo medição da espessura da tinta de proteção das estruturas metálicas aparentes e com registro fotográfico dos problemas das obras, tais como, manifestações patológicas do aço, pintura, locais de acumulo de água etc. Com os dados obtidos, será preenchida a planilha, conforme o modelo sugerido por MORTARI, 2008. Com preenchimento do Check list, fica mais fácil fazer o diagnóstico da estrutura, principalmente por que o diagnóstico está no final.

The Study of Mathematical Problem Solving Competence for Elementary Students in Tainan City

Tsai, Tsung-hsien 29 August 2007 (has links)
The purpose of the present study is (1) to investigate factors that influence mathematical problem solving competence for elementary students, (2) to understand the current studies regarding the development of mathematical problem solving competence, and (3) to probe background factors that affect the development of mathematical problem solving competence. The subjects of the study included 710 fifth-graders in Tainan city. The surveys of Thinking Style Inventory, Mathematical Learning Perception Check List as well as Mathematical Problem Solving Competence Test were used as instruments for data collection. A total of 710 questionnaires were delivered and 587valid questionnaires were collected, with fairly high 82.60% return rate. The collected data was tested with descriptive analysis, independent t test¡BANOVA¡Bproduct-moment correlation coefficient,multiple correlation and multiple regression. Based on the data analysis, the six findings of this study are summarized as follows: 1. The low satisfaction with mathematics class was revealed from the analysis of students¡¦ Mathematical Learning Perception Check List. It is suggested boosting subjects¡¦ satisfaction with the mathematics class will enhance the development of mathematical problem solving competence. 2. The positive correlation between administration style and mathematical problem solving competence was shown eminently among all types of thinking styles. The result indicated different function of the thinking styles influenced the development of mathematical problem solving competence in a varied degree. 3. From the analysis of students¡¦ background factor and mathematics problem solving competence, the statistic indicated the length of extra curriculum students devoted to does not affect their mathematical problem solving competence. The factors that influence students¡¦ mathematical problem solving competence the most were shown in the following order: administration district, the social status of father, the social status of mother, gender and the size of school. 4. The comparative variance of the mathematics learning achievement and mathematics problem solving competence was 24.3%. It implied the two influences each other. Students with low mathematical learning achievement show low mathematical problem solving competence and vice versa. 5. When predicting students¡¦ development of mathematical problem solving competence via the data of parents¡¦ social status and mathematical learning perception check list, the result showed the prediction via parents¡¦ social status is less significant. Yet the prediction via mathematical learning perception check list gained the highest variance ratio in this case. 6. In terms of the distribution of parents¡¦ social status, East, North and Middle East were of eminent as compared to South, An-Ping and An-Nan district in Tainan city. The finding implied parents¡¦ social status was a major factor that influence students¡¦ mathematics problem solving ability in administration district, as the £b2 ¡]Eta Squared¡^¡×25.3¢H shown in this study.

An Identification and Analysis of the Problems of Freshman Students According to the Mooney Problem Check List

Rode, Joe W. 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to identify the major problem areas of freshmen community college students and to determine if significant differences in problems of freshmen students existed as a variable of age, sex, or marital status. The population consisted of 674 community college students enrolled in an Orientation to College program during the fall or spring semester of 1976, 1977, 1978 or 1979. Each student was administered the Mooney Problem Check List (MPCL), College Form (1950) during the first week of enrollment at the community college. he data were analyzed in order to determine if a significant difference existed in the problem areas reported by students according to a Friedman Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks. A significant difference produced by the Friedman ANOVA indicated a need to apply a Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed Ranks Test in order to determine which problem areas differed significantly from one another. A Mann Whitney U Test was employed to statistically compare the problem areas of male students and female students as well as married students and single students. A Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance by ranks for k independent samples was employed to test differences in the responses of four student age groups: 18 and under, 19 and 20, 20 through 29 and 30 years of age and over.

Social Desirability and the Interpersonal Check List

Wheeler, Deborah Jean 01 October 1972 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether number of responses is related to the social desirability and intensity of the test items. 61 Ss were administered the Interpersonal Check List and the Marlowe Crowne Social Desirability Scale. From the Interpersonal Check List number of responses, average item intensity and average item social desirability were calculated. Average item social desirability was calculated from individual item social desirability values obtained from ratings by another, similar S group. The results showed that number of responses is negatively correlated with average item social desirability and positively correlated with average item intensity, as predicted. Social desirability and intensity are negatively correlated. Data pertaining to the Marlowe Crowne scale, a measure of the tendency of an individual S to respond in a socially desirable manner, were inconclusive. It is concluded that a S giving a low number of responses on the Interpersonal Check List is probably trying to create a good impression by refusing to endorse extreme or undesirable test items.

SISTEMATIZAÇÃO DE FERRAMENTA DE APOIO PARA BOAS PRÁTICAS EM SERVIÇOS DE ALIMENTAÇÃO / SYSTEMIZATION OF A TOOL TO SUPPORT GOOD PRACTICES IN FOOD SERVICES

Saccol, Ana Lúcia de Freitas 28 February 2007 (has links)
Concerning the importance and the necessity of fitting food services to actual lawmaking and knowing the difficulty found in it, the present paper aimed to systemize a Tool (Evaluation List, Plan of Action and Touching Collaborators) to support Good Practices. The present study was realized in twenty three, 23, downtown food services, in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, through a proportional stratified sample of eight restaurants, eleven snack bars and four bakeries. A List of Evaluation of Good Practices for Food Services (LEGPFS) was made, specific for RDC 21604 ANVISA. This list was applied for a professional technician and for the company, in March and October, respectively. After that, a simple Plan of Action to facilitate the process of fitting was suggested. Samples of swabs to verify Staphylococcus coagulase positive and total count of mesophyll aerobics microorganisms and were collected from manipulators and from surfaces after hygiene, before and after the use of the tool. All collaborators were invited to participate of a touching concerning microbiological analysis and formulary applied to participants, evaluated by the results of LEGPFS. The results showed a significant difference (p<0,05) after the application of LEGPFS such for the technician as to the company, according to the fitting percentage. It was observed a significant improve (p<0,05) in following lawmaking after the use of the tool. The touching was considered efficient and there was a fitting to the process of hands and surfaces hygiene. In conclusion, the tool elaborated was valid to support food services in fitting actual lawmaking. / Tendo em vista a importância e a necessidade de adequação dos serviços de alimentação à legislação vigente e sabendo-se da dificuldade encontrada, objetivou-se, com este trabalho, sistematizar uma Ferramenta (Lista de Avaliação, Plano de Ação e Sensibilização de colaboradores) de apoio às Boas Práticas. O presente estudo foi realizado em 23 serviços de alimentação do Bairro Centro, da cidade de Santa Maria-RS, a partir de uma amostra estratificada proporcional de 8 restaurantes, 11 lanchonetes e 4 padarias/ confeitarias. Elaborou-se uma Lista de Avaliação de Boas Práticas para Serviços de Alimentação (LABPSA), específica para RDC 216/04 - ANVISA. Ela foi aplicada por profissional técnico e pela empresa, em março e outubro de 2006, respectivamente. Após a aplicação da LABPSA, sugeriu-se um modelo simples de Plano de Ação para facilitar o processo de adequação. Realizaram-se coletas de swabs nas mãos dos manipuladores e nas superfícies, após a higienização, para verificação de Staphylococcus coagulase positiva e contagem total de microrganismos aeróbios mesófilos, antes e após o uso da Ferramenta. Todos os colaboradores foram convidados a participar de uma sensibilização, avaliada pelos resultados da LABPSA, das análises microbiológicas e de formulário aplicado aos participantes. Constatou-se diferença significativa (p< 0,05) após a aplicação da LABPSA tanto técnica quanto pela empresa, de acordo com o percentual de adequação. Houve também uma melhora significativa (p< 0,05) no atendimento à legislação após a utilização da ferramenta. A sensibilização foi considerada eficaz e houve adequação no processo de higienização das mãos e superfícies. Em suma, a ferramenta elaborada foi válida para apoiar os serviços de alimentação nas adequações exigidas pela legislação atual.

Seasonal abundance and diversity of sorghum panicle-feeding Hemiptera in South Africa / M. Kruger.

Kruger, Marlene January 2006 (has links)
During the past two decades, panicle-feeding Hemiptera have become pests of sorghum in West and Central Africa, and particularly in Mali, where this is a staple food crop. Of the more than 100 sorghum insect pests reported in Africa, 42 species were found to be panicle-feeding pests. Prior to this study, no research had been done on the paniclefeeding Hemiptera in South Africa. The objectives of the study were to determine the abundance and diversity of panicle-feeding Hemiptera on sorghum. A check list was compiled and the temporal distribution of different Hemiptera species determined during the different panicle stages of development. In addition, the effect of insecticide application on Hemiptera numbers was evaluated and the correlation between grain mould severity and Hemiptera feeding damage was investigated. To determine the abundance and diversity of Hemiptera on sorghum panicles, surveys were conducted between November 2004 and June 2006 at 26 sites in four provinces of South Africa. Two methods of collection were used viz. the plastic bag and D-Vac methods. The total number of the adults and nymphs collected during this study was 23 798. Forty-three different herbivorous Hemiptera species were collected. The most abundant family was the Miridae (41 %), followed by the Lygaeidae (17 %). Eurystylus spp., Calidea dregii, Campylomma sp., Creontiades pallidus, Nysius natalensis and Nezara viridula were the most abundant species and also occurred widely in the sorghum production area. Infestation levels of these species were low compared to that in other parts of Africa and it cannot be concluded that they have pest status in South Africa. There was no clear distinction between the stages during which panicles were infested by different species. The general tendency was that nearly all species were present from the flowering stage onwards and that numbers declined when grain hardened. In general, Campylomma sp. and C. pallidus numbers peaked during the flowering stage and Eurystylus spp. and N. natalensis during the milk stage. Hemiptera feeding damage resulted in an increase in incidence of seeds with discoloured germ, therefore contributing significantly to reduction in grain quality. / Thesis (M.
