Dessa forma na parte um lida-se com os conjuntos de imagens selecionados a partir de três obras fílmicas. Duas delas, Umberto D e Alemanha Ano Zero estão circunscritas ao que se convencionou chamar de neo-realismo italiano e a terceira "O preço da ilusão", uma obra catarinense da qual só restaram sete minutos. A opção por certos filmes não está limitada a um ou outro movimento cinematográfico. O que se quer na verdade é destacar seus elementos fílmicos como vitais na configuração de uma estética e na potencialização das imagens. Neste viés realço que a opção por escolher conjuntos de imagens e não os filmes como um todo participa deste caminho metodológico que considera a imagem em sua atemporalidade, posto que o conceito de vidência é o que está em evidência nesta pesquisa e não a historicidade da filmografia. Assim, neste capítulo, os conjuntos de imagens dialogam com diferentes conceitos ou noções tais como: esgotamento, intolerável, plano sequência, campo, enquadramento etc. A parte dois versa sobre uma experimentação a partir de um curso de extensão. Na parte um o que está em questão é o que eu "aprendo" no diálogo com conceitos/noções e imagens e na parte dois é o que eu proponho e o que deriva deste movimento. Destacar o uso de elementos fílmicos - técnicos e estéticos - e temáticos como referenciais de análise tem como objetivo, mais do que a semelhança com as cenas da parte um, evidenciar aquilo que escapa do próprio aprendizado anterior, no sentido de apreender o que talvez sejam linhas de fuga. A parte três compõe-se das coisas que se deixou pelo caminho, daquilo que não se chegou a lapidar, alguns fragmentos arruinados de ideias edificantes. Filmes, conceitos, elocubrações. É dessa matéria, móvel e viva, que se compõe essa terceira parte. Por fim a parte quatro pretende uma conversa inicial sobre cinema e educação. / Abstrac: The central question of this doctoral research is based on the notion of Deleuze's clairvoyance as a mobilizing power of thought and the discussion of such notion is made from a set of filmic images. Thus, in the first part of this work, a set of images selected from three film works is discussed. Two of these works, Umberto D and Germany Year Zero are confined to what came to be known as Italian neo-realism while the third film work "The price of illusion," is a work produced in the state of Santa Catarina of which only seven minutes remains. The option for such films is not limited to different film movements. Actually, the intention is to highlight filmic elements as vital elements in configuring aesthetic and in potentializing images. From this perspective, I emphasize that the option to choose sets of images instead of using the movies as a whole is part of this methodological approach which considers the image in its timelessness, since the concept of clairvoyance is what is in evidence in this study instead of the historicity of filmography.Thus, in this first chapter, the sets of images dialogue with different concepts and with different notions such as exhaustion, intolerable, plan sequence, field, environment etc. In the second part, an experiment which was developed in an extension course is presented and discussed. Thus, in the first part of this study the emphasis is on what I "learn" from the dialogue between concepts/notions and images while in the second part the emphasis is on what I propose and what proceeds from this movement. Highlighting the use of filmic elements - technical and aesthetic - and thematic, as references to the analysis, more than showing the resemblance to the scenes of part one of this study, aims to make evident which escapes from one's previous learning, in a sense of someone learning what may be escapes lines. The third part consists of things that were left behind, such as movies, concepts, lucubrations which were not lapidated. Some ruined fragments of edifying ideas. This third part is compound by this moving and lively material. Finally, the fourth part intends to initiate a conversation on cinema e education. / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Doutora em Educação

The design of a parallel and distributed computing system is a very complicated task. It requires a detailed understanding of the design issues and of the theoretical and practical aspects of their solutions. Firstly, this thesis discusses in detail the major concepts and components required to make parallel and distributed computing a reality. A multithreaded and distributed framework capable of analysing the simulation data produced by a pedestrian simulation software was developed. Secondly, this thesis discusses the origins and fundamentals of Grid computing and the motivations for its use in High Energy Physics. Access to the data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has to be provided for more than five thousand scientists all over the world. Users who run analysis jobs on the Grid do not necessarily have expertise in Grid computing. Simple, userfriendly and reliable monitoring of the analysis jobs is one of the key components of the operations of the distributed analysis; reliable monitoring is one of the crucial components of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid for providing the functionality and performance that is required by the LHC experiments. The CMS Dashboard Task Monitoring and the CMS Dashboard Job Summary monitoring applications were developed to serve the needs of the CMS community.

Context. Agile methods address the challenges of an unpredictable world by relying on “people and their creativity rather than on processes”, accelerate delivery of software and considered as a reaction to plan-based or traditional methods. Distributed software development helps to access a pool of skilled personnel, completion of tasks around the clock and more. Incorporating of agile methods in distributed software development could help to solve some problems of distributed software development such as lack of communication and its dependencies, close collaboration and so on. Objectives. In this study we investigate the proposed benefits of pair programming, an XP development technique used by agile, and its effects on performance and social practices in distributed software development. Methods. Systematic literature review and an experiment are utilized to fulfill the objectives of this study. In the systematic review a sub-set of the research articles are selected relevant to the subject of this study from the electronic sources including, ACM Digital Library, IEEE, Xplore, EiVillage (Compendx, Inspec), Science Direct and ISI Web of Science. Experiment is conducted to investigate the pair programming effects on performance and social practices. Results. Many proposed benefits of pair programming in existing literature are identified and reported in both collocated and distributed settings. Pair programming is reported as an effective software development technique as well as a pedagogical tool. Experimental results showed that pair programming also effects performance in distributed software development, and positively impacts the social practices (human or social factors). Conclusions. There are many benefits of pair programming reported in collocated settings and less in distributed software development. Pair programming impacts the performance and social practices positively. However, we also conclude that the effective use of pair programming in distributed software development will yield the concrete results as well as the programmers’ pairs should be trained, experienced and well motivated for an effective use of pair programming and to overcome the challenges of distributed software development.

Context. Simulation of nature is something that is used to immerse the player into the world of games. By adding details in the world such as birds circling in the sky or small fishes swimming in a flock, developers can improve the gaming experience for the user. More precise simulations are something that should be aspired for. This thesis will explore the boid flocking algorithm and evaluate what settings users perceive as realistic behavior for simulating schools of fish. Objectives. This thesis proposes that there should be a set of variables that reflect a more realistic behavior and through gathering data from volunteers and mapping their answers, conclude if that statement is true. Methods. A boid simulation will be run in a number of different scenarios, each differing in variables that are vCohesion, vSeparationand vAmount that make changes to the overall behavior. This behavior is then recorded and compared next to each other in a perceptual experiment with the objective of finding out the preferred settings interms of realism. Results. The experiment showed that the preferred value of vSeperation was around 50 to 60 world units. The value of vCohesion and vAmount was random to what was perceived, so their impact on realism was not significant enough. Conclusions. After running the experiment it was apparent that there was a preferred value on some of the variables that were examined. The larger impact on realism was in the distance each boid wanted to keep from its neighbor, the vision range of each boid defined what was considered a neighborhood. The range on this variable was not of much importance and did not impact what the user perceived as realistic.

To perform software testing at the early stages of software development process can save the cost and effort on finding and fixing defects. As the first stage of software development process, requirements engineering has been moved away from project-initiated requirements engineering towards requirements-initiated development in the last decade. This leads new challenges that it demands support for handling the requirements continually come in from multiple stakeholders on multiple abstraction levels instead of some specific customers. Requirements Abstraction Model was developed as a hierarchical abstraction method for requirements management, which is enable product management to leverage their resources and select requirements for implementation without overloading the organization. RAM was validated in industry on the usability for requirements management, but there is no evaluation for RAM on software testing. This thesis presents an empirical study with a goal of evaluating the suitability of RAM for test case design in respective of efficiency and effectiveness by the comparison with IEEE Std. 830 which is a standard of the traditional requirements specification. For achieving the goal of this study, a controlled experiment is conducted based on the refinement on an initial experiment planning, and is operated with twenty developers in industry in China. Analysis of the collected data from the experiment indicates that RAM has a similar effectiveness as using the requirements in IEEE Std. 830 format, while RAM is more efficient for test case design. Therefore, RAM is suitable for test case design, and has better performance than IEEE Std. 830 comprehensively in view of both efficiency and effectiveness.

La production des états charmonia (par exemple le J/ψ et le ψ(2S)) est l’une des sondes étudiées pour comprendre les propriétés du Plasma de Quarks et de Gluons (PQG) formé dans les collisions d’ions lourds à très haute énergie. En effet, la présence d’un milieu déconfiné est susceptible de modifier le taux de production des charmonia par effet d’écrantage de couleur de la paire de quarks charme-anti-charme. Une telle suppression fut déjà observée dans les collisions d’ions lourds aux énergies du SPS et du RHIC. Dans les collisions Pb-Pb à √sNN = 2.76 TeV au LHC, une suppression relative du taux de production du J/ψ par rapport à celui mesuré dans les collisions pp normalisé aux nombres de collisions binaires proton-proton (facteur de modification nucléaire RAA) fut aussi mesurée. Cette suppression est cependant moins importante que ce qui fut observé à plus petites énergies dans le centre de masse. Ceci peut s’expliquer par la présence d’un nouveau mécanisme de production, la recombinaison de quarks charme et anticharme déconfinés au moment de l’expansion hydrodynamique du PQG ou durant la phase d’hadronisation. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons les résultats de la production de J/ψ dans les collisions pp et Pb-Pb, mesurée par le détecteur ALICE à √sNN = 5.02 TeV à rapidité avant dans le canal de décroissance dimuonique. La section efficace de production mesurée dans les collisions pp est comparée à différents modèles théoriques et est utilisée pour calculer le RAA en collisions Pb-Pb, lui-même comparé à différentes prédictions théoriques ainsi qu’aux précédentes mesures. / The production of charmonium states (for instance J/ψ and ψ(2S)) is one of the probes studied to investigate the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Indeed, the presence of a deconfined medium should modify the charmonium production yield, due to the color screening of the charm quark anti-quark potential. Such a suppression was already observed in heavy-ion collisions at SPS and RHIC energies. In Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV at the LHC, a clear suppression of the J/ψ yield with respect to the one measured in binary-scaled pp collisions (nuclear modification factor RAA) was observed, but much smaller than that at lower collision energies. This observation can be explained by the presence of a new production mechanism, the (re)combination of deconfined charm and anti-charm quarks during the hydrodynamical expansion of the QGP or at the hadronization stage. In this thesis, we report on the results of the J/ψ production in pp and Pb-Pb collisions measured with the ALICE detector √sNN = 5.02 TeV at forward rapidity in the dimuon channel. The cross-section in pp collisions is compared to various model calculations, and is used to compute the RAA in Pb-Pb collisions, which is also compared to theoretical predictions as well as to previous measurements.

There are several concerning issues with passwords today; one of them being weak passwords, but password management also plays a big role e.g. when the users reuses passwords over several services or don't change their passwords on a regular basis. With the usage of passwords for several aspects of our daily lives comes the responsibility of trying to mitigate these issues, a role that often falls on to the users themselves. The usage of guidelines has proved helpful in this regard but still lacks important aspects. This paper suggests the usage of education in the form of a lecture to help with the problem. In this paper we conducted a study of password leaks, a literature analysis of the area around passwords and perform some qualitative interviews with different kinds of people with varying education and usage of passwords. The results from these studies will then lay the foundation for the lecture in the experiment part of the paper, two experiment groups will be used, one given a lecture as education on the matter and one control group not given any education. The study has showed that the usage of a lecture can help increase the entropy, average length of user‟s passwords. These results can be interpreted together with another study that did a similar experiment to that a lecture can be a more efficient way to teach users about passwords.

I experimentally examine whether disclosure of corporate social responsibility (CSR) investment facilitates cooperation in business collaborations. Business collaborations are essential for firms to maintain their competitive advantage. However, half of all ventures fail. A major reason for this high failure rate is a lack of cooperation among business collaboration partners, known as relational risk. Findings suggest that CSR disclosure leads to greater CSR investment, but does not result in an overall higher level of cooperation. However, CSR disclosure moderates the link between CSR investment and cooperation. When CSR investment is disclosed, cooperation is highest when both managers invest in CSR. Further, managers who invest in CSR are more sensitive to CSR disclosure information than managers who do not invest in CSR. Managers who invest in CSR are more cooperative when they receive a signal their partner also invested in CSR. Managers who do not invest in CSR do not attend to CSR disclosure information and are equally cooperative when partnered with a CSR investor or a non-CSR investor. Finally, when CSR investment is not disclosed, managers who invest in CSR are no more likely to cooperate than managers who do not invest in CSR. Although CSR is widespread, little is known about why managers invest in CSR or disclose CSR information. This study has implications for practitioners and academics on CSR by demonstrating a potential benefit of CSR investment and disclosure, mitigating relational risk in business collaborations.

This thesis is focused on the inclusion of athletic activities in kindergarten. It is conceived as a methodical collection of athletic activities that are established for kindergarten teachers. Its aim is to find suitable athletic activities, to create an overview and to practically try them with preschool children. The work is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part is dedicated to a preschool child in terms of physiological and motor. It also describes the importance of play and movement in this age. Another chapter deals with the Framework educational program for preschool education and its relationship to athletics. Then the chapter about athletics follows, which provides a brief history of athletics and its importance to the child. There are also described physical abilities, which are closely related to athletic activities since their assumption. The last part is about the correct techniques of athletic disciplines that can be implemented in kindergarten and it is running, jumping and throwing. In the practical part there are selected athletic activities and games, which are divided into groups according to disciplines of running, dumping, throwing and combination of all activities. In the final section is recorded according to their evalution of selection and...
