In this way, a study with 102 pupils from a municipal school in Goiânia (GO) aged from 11 to 15 years old was carried out. Two different instruments were used to do the study, Coping Response Inventory (Moos, 1993) and the Bateria Fatorial de Personalidade (Nunes et al., preliminary version). Data showed that girls use more coping strategies than boys, the youngest adolescents use more avoidance coping responses and the oldest use more approach coping responses. The correlation obtained among the variables demonstrated that the appreciation of the problem exercises significant influence in the choice of strategies. / O objetivo deste estudo é demonstrar a influência de traços de personalidade no uso de estratégias de coping em populações de adolescentes. Participaram desta pesquisa 102 jovens com idade entre 11 e 15 anos, utilizando o Coping Response Inventory (Moos, 1993) e a Bateria Fatorial de Personalidade (Nunes et al.; versão preliminar). Os dados obtidos demonstraram que meninas utilizam mais as estratégias de coping do que meninos, os adolescentes mais jovens utilizam mais coping de evitação e os mais velhos, o coping de aproximação. A correlação obtida entre as variáveis demonstrou que a apreciação do problema exerce influência significativa na escolha de estratégias.

An investigation into the relation between objects and colors is essential in understanding how color perception is evolved in ancient China. First, the separation of objects and colors is a major step to establish a color system. Second, the advanced understanding of a unifying framework between colors and objects has been passed down through generations, which not only made its impact on traditional Chinese paintings' theory with regards to color such as "using color to portray color", "coloring by physical appearance", but also in a way restrained ancient people's thoughts on color's intrinsic properties. To satisfy the taste and understanding in color of their time, the ancients opted for the physical coordinates of an object as their final choice of color to be depicted, indicating their belief in the unification of object and color. When being reflected in paintings, such belief is shown as a pursuit of stable and organized color compositions. / Behind this rich tapestry of colors, the physical production of color pigments is instrumental in the art production in Dunhuang. In the Tang dynasty, the flourishing printing and dyeing industry fuelled the development of plant dyes, some of which could be employed in paintings to make their contributions in art. Mineral pigments made their way to Dunhuang amid the frequent cultural exchanges between China and the West, which formed the material basis for the vibrant Dunhuang art. However, when weighting their color options amid the exported pigments, Central China-culture genes helped to make a conscious decision to reflect local cultural spirit. / Dunhuang in the Tang dynasty is not a simple phrase describing a physical location during a certain time; it is rather an interrelated and compound concept. The rich color culture of the Tang dynasty was preserved through art in Dunhuang and the special nature of Dunhuang culture made it possible for us to understand the complexity of Tang color concept. Through depictions of secular life in both words and images, Dunhuang helped to construct a complete picture of Tang color theory. / In Tang dynasty, the nation's perception of color matured in discipline and art forms are manifested in a mirage of colors. The secular quality in the Tang society dictates the use of natural colors. The different hues of red and green became the color codes for Tang spirit, which are also the dominant colors used in Dunhuang's mural art. The frequent use of red colors reflects the uplifting spirit of its time. / 王冬松. / Advisers: Kam Tang Tong; Jin Zhou. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-06, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2011. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 278-286). / Electronic reproduction.

Mais do que líder, Mário de Andrade pode ser entendido e estudado a partir da posição central que ocupou na produção do modernismo brasileiro. Um epicentro tanto nos termos da vastidão de temas e áreas culturais em que o poeta se empenhou para estabelecer sua obra artística e intelectual, suplantando os demais modernistas, como também um epicentro no aspecto das relações estabelecidas que surtiram tensões e interdependências variadas e ambos os casos contribuíram para realçar a influência do poeta e consolidar seu nome para a posteridade. Para demonstrar esse acento epicentral, propõe-se analisar as relações de sociabilidade do Grupo dos Cinco paulista, composto por Mário de Andrade, Anita Malfatti, Tarsila do Amaral, Oswald de Andrade e Menotti del Picchia, tendo como objeto de estudo a correspondência ativa e passiva de Mário de Andrade estabelecida com os integrantes do grupo. / More than leader, Mário de Andrade can be understood and studied from the central position he occupied in the production of Brazilian modernism. An epicenter both in terms of the vastness of themes and cultural areas in which the poet strove to establish his artistic and intellectual work, supplanting the other modernists, as well as an epicenter in the aspect of established relations that provided varied tensions and interdependencies - and both cases contributed to enhance the influence of the poet and to consolidate his name for posterity. In order to demonstrate this epicentral accent, it is proposed to analyze the sociability relations of the São Paulo Group of Five, composed by Mário de Andrade, Anita Malfatti, Tarsila do Amaral, Oswald de Andrade and Menotti del Picchia, having as object of study the active and passive correspondence of Mário de Andrade established with the members of the group.

The increasing interest regarding the behavioral bases that sustain psychopathological conditions in general and the arrival of the spectral vision of personality disorders has awarded more visibility and relevance to studies with personality traits. Studying the personality traits patterns of the Big Five theory in depressed patients with the intent of finding differential characteristics in relation to Bipolar Affective Disorder and the existence or not of Borderline Personality Disorder comorbidity were the objectives of this study. The first study counted with the presence of 245 patients in current depressive episode, and the second one counted with 149 patients in the same condition. In the first study, sociodemographic, personality traits (NEO-FFI) and mood as well as anxiety disorders (MINI-Plus) data were collected. The groups with Major Depressive Disorder (n= 192) and Bipolar Affective Disorder (n= 62) were compared concerning these characteristics by means of bivariate and multivariate analyses. In the second study, information about Personality Disorders (MCMI-III) was added and comparisons were done as previously described, but between the groups with (n= 40) and without (n= 109) Borderline Personality Disorder comorbidity. The results of the first study pointed to a similar pattern in personality traits distribution between individuals with Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Affective Disorder during depressive episode. However, there was significant difference regarding the factor of Agreeableness (p= 0.005, OR= 0.94, IC 95%= 0.90 to 0.98), with higher levels among those with unipolar disorder. In the second study, presence of Borderline Personality Disorder was associated with lower indices of the Conscientiousness factor (p= 0.026, OR= 0.55, IC 95%= 0.33 to 0.93); 12 higher prevalence of suicide risk (p= 0.017, OR= 2.15, IC 95%= 1.14 to 4.05); comorbidity with Cluster A personality disorders (p= 0.010, RC= 2.61, IC 95%= 1.25 to 5.42) as well as with Cluster C ones (p= 0.045, RC= 1.03, IC 95%= 1.00 to 1.07). Data from both studies point that assessing personality traits can be useful, both for differentiation in cases where there is doubt between bipolar and unipolar disorders, as well as for aiding in identifying the presence of Borderline Personality Disorder comorbidity during depressive episodes. / A personalidade é um dos construtos mais importantes da Psicologia e tem tido cada vez mais espaço entre as pesquisas da área. O crescente interesse a respeito das bases comportamentais que sustentam os quadros psicopatológicos em geral e o advento da visão espectral dos transtornos da personalidade têm conferido maior visibilidade e relevância aos estudos acerca dos traços de personalidade. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram centrados na investigação dos traços da teoria Big Five em pacientes deprimidos, pretendendo apontar características diferenciais entre casos de Transtorno Depressivo Maior e Transtorno de Humor Bipolar (no primeiro trabalho) e entre casos com e sem comorbidade entre Transtorno Depressivo Maior e Transtorno da Personalidade Borderline (no segundo trabalho). Os tamanhos amostrais diferiram em função dos objetivos dos estudos. No primeiro trabalho, contou-se com a participação de 245 pacientes em episódio depressivo atual, e no segundo, com 149 pacientes na mesma condição. No primeiro estudo foram coletadas informações, sobre as condições sociodemográficas; sobre os traços de personalidade (NEO-FFI) e sobre transtornos de humor e ansiedade (MINI-Plus). O grupo com Transtorno Depressivo Maior (n= 183) e o grupo com Transtorno de Humor Bipolar (n= 62) foram comparados em função dessas características por meio de análises bivariadas e multivariadas. No segundo estudo foram acrescidas as informações sobre Transtornos da Personalidade (MCMI-III), sendo que as comparações foram feitas como descritas anteriormente, porém, entre os grupos com (n= 40) e sem (n= 109) a comorbidade com Transtorno da Personalidade Borderline. Os resultados do primeiro estudo apontaram um padrão semelhante na distribuição dos traços de personalidade entre os indivíduos com Transtorno Depressivo Maior e Transtorno de Humor Bipolar durante episódio depressivo; contudo, foi 10 encontrada diferença significativa em relação ao fator Amabilidade (p= 0.005, RC= 0.94, IC 95%= 0.90 a 0.98), com níveis mais altos entre os indivíduos com transtorno unipolar. No segundo estudo, a presença do Transtorno da Personalidade Borderline esteve associada a menores índices do fator Conscienciosidade (p= 0.026, RC= 0.55, IC 95%= 0.33 a 0.93); maior prevalência de risco de suicídio (p= 0.017, RC= 2.15, IC 95%= 1.14 a 4.05); comorbidade com os transtornos da personalidade do Cluster A (p= 0.010, RC= 2.61, IC 95%= 1.25 a 5.42) e do Cluster C (p= 0.045, RC= 1.03, IC 95%= 1.00 a 1.07). Os dados de ambos os estudos apontaram que a avaliação dos traços de personalidade pode ser útil, do ponto de vista clínico, tanto para diferenciar casos em que há dúvida diagnóstica, como identificar a presença de comorbidades que podem comprometer diagnóstico e tratamento, caso sejam negligenciadas.

The study was carried out by using an exploratory survey and bibliography focusing on the subject of ?credit?, and a questionnaire containing twenty five questions, most of which had closed answers, was compiled, with an aim to understanding the credit concession process, the different ways each brand functions and the level of the organization (whether operational, tactical or strategic) in which credit evaluation is effected and utilized by the five C?s of credit that stem from the support provided by the Small Business Scoring model for micro-companies. Based on analysis of frequency, it can be seen that the companies work in similar ways when carrying out registration, service, ways of payment and conceding deadlines. However, with regard to the reason for selecting the brand of the gas station, the data shows some different aspects between the companies. Most of the distributors, except one, do not take any steps to minimize risks or to reduce investments on amounts to be received with regard to restricting above average purchases. But, according to those questioned, 70.11% of the gas stations interviewed have a letter of indenmity and in 95.40% of the gas stations surveyed, the volume of sales is not concentrated on just a few clients, and this reduces the risk of default. Most of the companies, according to those questioned, do not use credit information centres and do not request any information relating to the financial indices of the gas stations. However, it cannot be assumed that client capacity analysis is not carried out, bearing in mind that the study did not cover what is stated in the contracts that the brand gas stations have with the distributors. It was also evident that the distributors only use the credit scoring model and not the behavioural or mixed ones. Based on analysis of cluster was generated three groups, nominated accordance with the performance form, the first group called Rigorous presented a bigger stated period, however one very rigid credit policy, the second, Flexible group presented minor severity of what the first one, already the third group, Without Politics presented 100% of the purchases by money, so they don`t need to worried about insolvency. / O objetivo geral nesta disserta??o consiste em analisar as pol?ticas de cr?dito adotadas por empresas distribuidoras de combust?vel na cidade do Rio de Janeiro (Petrobr?s; Shell; Cosan; Ipiranga; Ale; DPPI; Manguinhos; Ello-Puma; Dinamo; Agip) e os respectivos postos, incluindo os de bandeira branca (ou sem bandeira), atrav?s da consulta aos seus revendedores. O estudo foi realizado com a utiliza??o de uma pesquisa explorat?ria e bibliogr?fica focada no tema ?cr?dito?, para o qual foi elaborado um question?rio composto de vinte e cinco quest?es, a maioria delas fechadas, visando compreender o processo de concess?o de cr?dito, as diferentes formas de atua??o em cada uma das bandeiras; o n?vel da organiza??o (se operacional, t?tico ou estrat?gico) no qual a avalia??o de cr?dito ? realizada; e a utiliza??o dos cinco C?s do cr?dito a partir do suporte fornecido pelo modelo Small Business Scoring para Microempresas. Com a an?lise de freq??ncia, p?de-se constatar que as empresas trabalham de forma semelhante na realiza??o do cadastro, no atendimento, na forma de pagamento e na concess?o de prazos. Entretanto, no que se refere ao motivo de escolha da bandeira do posto, os dados mostraram aspectos diferentes entre as empresas. A maior parte das distribuidoras com exce??o de uma, n?o efetua nenhum tipo de considera??o visando minimizar os riscos e reduzir os investimentos em valores a receber, no que diz respeito a restringir compras acima da m?dia. Mas, de acordo com os respondentes, 70,11% dos postos entrevistados possuem um garantidor fidejuss?rio e, em 95,40% dos postos pesquisados o volume de vendas n?o ? concentrado em poucos clientes, o que reduz o risco de inadimpl?ncia. A maioria das empresas, de acordo com os respondentes, n?o utiliza as centrais de informa??o de cr?dito e n?o solicita nenhuma informa??o relacionada aos ?ndices financeiros dos postos. Entretanto n?o se pode afirmar que a an?lise da capacidade do cliente n?o ? efetuada, haja vista que, o estudo n?o contemplou a an?lise do conte?do contratual que os postos de bandeira possuem com as distribuidoras. Foi ainda constatado que as distribuidoras utilizam apenas o modelo credit scoring e n?o o behavioral ou o misto. Com base na an?lise de cluster foram gerados tr?s grupos, nomeados de acordo com a forma de atua??o, o primeiro grupo chamado de Rigoroso apresentou um prazo maior, entretanto uma pol?tica de cr?dito muito r?gida, o segundo, grupo Flex?vel apresentou menor rigor do que o primeiro, j? o terceiro grupo, Sem Pol?tica, apresentou 100% das compras ? vista e p?de-se concluir que o mesmo n?o necessita de pol?tica de cobran?a.

In recent years, energy efficiency in the built environment has been attracting considerable interest to mitigate energy consumption. A number of scientific studies indicate that rising air pollution, decreasing biodiversity, ocean acidification and other adverse effects on humans and the environment in recent decades are due to greenhouse gas emissions, and a substantial share of the emissions can be attributed to energy usage in residential buildings. Investments in energy-efficient technologies have been made to alleviate such human induced causes contributing to the emissions, but they are still far from widespread, calling for a thorough understanding of individuals' decision-making processes to promote further adoption of energy efficiency investments. Although personality has been widely recognised as an explanatory factor of behaviour, a rigorous discussion of it in the context of energy efficiency investments is missing. As such, to understand the role of personality traits in making high-cost energy efficiency investments in residential buildings, this research applies a multidisciplinary approach to derive theoretical models that are evaluated in subsequent empirical investigations using quantitative methods and data from the UK and Germany. The findings suggest three ways through which personality can influence energy efficiency investments. The first is an indirect impact of personality traits through risk preferences, in which the significance of the personality effects depends on the financial subsidy context. The second is an indirect effect of personality traits through environmental concern. The third way suggests an impact of personality traits through their importance for individuals' capability and willingness to consider peer behaviour.

This master’s thesis deals with evaluation the performance of a limited liability company Zlatovánek. The work is divided into two parts. The theoretical part describes the topic of benchmarking using professional literature. There is explained the concept of benchmarking and issue five-stage model of benchmarking. The practical part describes the selected company Zlatovánek, s. r. o. and benchmarking method is applied in order to increase business performance. Then is the firm compared with a better competitor. The conclusion suggested possible measures to improve business performance.

To further the research done in machining complex surfaces, Jensen [1993] developed an algorithm that matches the normal curvature at a point along the surface with the resultant radius formed by tilting a standard flat end mill. The algorithm called Curvature Matched Machining (CM2) is faster and more efficient than conventional three-axis machining [Jensen 1993, Simpson 1995 & Kitchen 1996]. Despite the successes of CM2 there are still many areas available for research. Consider the machining of a mold or die. The complex nature of a mold requires at least 20-30 weeks of lead time. Of those 20-30 weeks 50% is spent in machining. Of that time 50-65% is spent in rough machining. For a mold or die that amounts to 7 to 8 weeks of rough machining. If one could achieve as much as a 10-15% reduction in machining time that would amount to almost one week worth of time savings. As can be seen, small improvements in time and efficiency for rough machining can yield significant results [Fallbohmer 1996]. This research developed an algorithm that focused on reducing the overall machining time for parts and surfaces. Particularly, the focus of this research was within rough machining. The algorithm incorporated principles of three-axis rough cutting with five-axis CM2, hence Rough Curvature Matched Machining (RCM2). In doing so, the algorithm ‘morphed‘ planar machining slices to the semi-roughed surface allowing the finish pass to be complete in one pass. This roughing algorithm has significant time-savings over current roughing techniques.
