No. of bitstreams: 1 Jonas Leonardo Pessanha de Souza_.pdf: 4035191 bytes, checksum: 9d6bed2d1de67826e772313353b6eed0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-10-20 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / CNPQ – Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / PROSUP - Programa de Suporte à Pós-Gradução de Instituições de Ensino Particulares / Com o objetivo de melhorar o desempenho das edificações, seguindo tendência mundial, a NBR 15.575/2013 foi desenvolvida. Conhecida como Norma de Desempenho (ND), ela define critérios mínimos, intermediários e superiores e métodos de avaliação do desempenho das edificações habitacionais. A partir de julho de 2013 o atendimento a esta norma passou a ser obrigatório no território nacional, segundo o Código Civil e o Código de Defesa ao Consumidor (Lei nº 8.078/90). Entretanto, há resistências para adoção, visto que, dependendo do tipo de edificação, são necessárias inúmeras mudanças que dependem de todos os envolvidos do setor. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as principais mudanças e desafios na implantação do nível superior da ND em uma edificação habitacional na cidade de Novo Hamburgo/RS, através de um estudo de caso realizado em duas etapas. A primeira etapa consistiu na análise quali-quantitativa da ND em relação à edificação estudada e a segunda etapa compreende uma análise das principais mudanças e desafios observados na implantação do nível superior da Norma. Na primeira etapa demonstrou-se a distribuição dos 155 critérios e definiram-se as relações entre partes e aspectos da norma que são mais difíceis de atender a Norma. A segunda etapa foi realizada em duas atividades. Na primeira foram analisados 101 critérios nos 6 aspectos considerados mais complexos, como desempenho estrutural, segurança contra incêndio, estanqueidade, desempenho térmico, desempenho acústico e durabilidade e manutenibilidade. Foi possível identificar como estes critérios se relacionam com as etapas da obra e agentes envolvidos. Quanto às etapas da obra destacaram-se os projetos complementares, execução do revestimento das paredes, execução das intalações, projeto arquitetônico e execução de pisos. Em relação aos agentes destacaram-se os projetistas, a ITA e os fornecedores. Por fim, na segunda atividade, observaram-se as principais alterações e desafios na implantação da ND. No aspecto de segurança contra incêndio identificou-se a necessidade da realização de ensaios de reação e resistência ao fogo. Quanto à estanqueidade foram realizados ensaios de infiltração de água em fachadas e de umidade em vedações. Em relação ao desempenho térmico foi necessária a simulação térmica de toda a edificação. Quanto à durabilidade e manutenibilidade observou-se a necessidade de detalhamentos e especificações para atingir ao VUP dos sistemas. O desempenho estrutural exigiu mudanças na estrutura, como novos parâmetros para o cobrimento e classe do concreto, controle tecnológico total e ensaios de resistência. O desempenho acústico foi o que motivou as maiores alterações na edificação, como o uso de mantas acústicas no piso e blocos estruturais preenchidos com argamassa com grande proporção de areia. Identificou-se que, em geral, os maiores desafios foram a execução de ensaios, análises para avaliação do desempenho de sistemas ou da edificação e mudanças nos sistemas para atender a ND. / Aiming to improve the building performance, following a worldwide trend, NBR 15.575/2013 has been developed. Known as Performance Standard (PS), it defines minimum, intermediate and higher criteria and performance evaluation methods of residential buildings. In July 2013, compliance with this standard became mandatory in the national territory, according to the Civil Code and Consumer Protection Code (Law number 8.078/90). However, there´s a resistance to its adoption, because depending on the type of building, several changes that depend on everyone involved in the engineering industry are necessary. The objective of this study was to identify the main changes and challenges for the implementation of the higher level of PS in a residential building in the city of Novo Hamburgo/RS, based on a case study carried out in two stages. The first stage consisted of a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the PS in relation to the studied building and the second stage consisted of an analysis of the major changes and challenges observed in the implementation of the Standard at the higher level. In the first stage, was demonstrated the distribution of 155 criteria and define the relationships between parts and aspects of the standard that make them more difficult to comply with the standard. The second stage was carried out in two activities. In the first one was analyzed 101 criteria in six aspects which are considered more complex, such as structural performance, fire safety, tightness, thermal performance, acoustic performance and durability and maintainability. It was possible to identify how these criteria relate to the stages of the construction and stakeholders. In relation to the construction steps, the highlights are complementary projects, implementation of lining on the walls, implementation of installations, architectural design and construction of floors. In relation to the staff, the highlights are designers, the technical institution of evaluation and suppliers. Finally, in the second activity, was observed the main changes and challenges in the implementation of the PS. In terms of fire safety, was identified the need to carry out tests of reaction and fire resistance; in tightness, water infiltration tests on facades and humidity fences were performed; in thermal performance, thermal simulation of all building was necessary; in durability and maintainability, was observed the need to detail and specify systems that achieve the project usefulness. The structural performance required changes in the structure, such as new parameters for the coating and type of concrete, full technological control and resistance tests. The acoustic performance motivated the greatest changes in the building, such as the use of acoustic blankets on the floor and building blocks filled with mortar and a large proportion of sand. Was found that, in general, the larger challenges were performing tests, analysis for evaluation of system or edification performance and changes in the systems to comply with the PS.

Environmental stewardship schemes are an important driver of biodiversity and habitat improvement throughout England, with the provision of funding to land managers to deliver effective land management that will benefit wildlife, habitats, natural resources and the population. Participation in agri-environment schemes is voluntary and much is done to encourage scheme participation. Dartmoor is a designated landscape, a National Park, and a Special Area of Conservation and encompasses areas of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Dartmoor is a farmed landscape, with the area divided into 92 common land units, over which a diversity of common rights are exercised. At present, the majority of Dartmoor Commons are managed by Environmental agreements, protecting the habitat and the SSSI’s. There is a demand for Dartmoor to be a recreational area, an environmental jewel, and a farmed landscape. Protection of this landscape requires the amalgamation of various organisations and individuals. Research indicates the benefits of group agri-environment schemes, of a landscape-scale approach to the improvement of habitats and the provision of wildlife corridors, crossing the boundaries of land ownership. vi The research considers the factors associated with group agri-environment schemes, where it is not necessarily like-minded individuals who come together because of a common cause and a shared vision. The issue surrounding common rights results in persons coming together because they have common rights and not necessarily a common view. A combination of interview responses and questionnaire data has been pulled together to ascertain the factors affecting agri-environment scheme participation on Dartmoor. The data reflects on the impacts of group agri-environment schemes on the commons of Dartmoor. The question remains as to the voluntary nature of group agri-environment schemes on Dartmoor. Hardin (1968) recognised the impact of one commoner’s decision had on another. Dartmoor agri-environment schemes require participation from the majority of commoners; therefore an individual’s action has a consequence. This research aims to investigate the impacts of agri-environment schemes on the commons of Dartmoor.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / This study set out to investigate the social and institutional factors which impact on the retention and progression of female academics in four universities in Zimbabwe. Drawing on a qualitative research methodology the aim of the study was to understand seeking to unpack the factors that shape the low representation of female academics in occupational spheres, the study finds unequal gender-based patterns in Zimbabwean society as a key condition that finds its way into the four institutions. In this regard, the patterns and shape of gender relations, based on the principles of kinship, become the platform for unequal relations among male and female academic staff. This manifests itself in different ways, including the (negative) role played by the extended kin family in the progression of married women academics to higher level management posts, resistance to women's authority by both men and women, the culture of male domination within institutions which works to the disadvantage of female academics and stereotypical behaviour by men within the institutions stand the social and institutional factors related to the retention and progression of female academics in four institutions in Zimbabwe.

In-patient deterioration is a global phenomena and timely recognition and action improves outcome. Intensive care facilities are scarce and expensive and therefore patient care must be optimal. A retrospective health record analysis was used for this study. The findings indicated that nursing personnel do not recognize patient deterioration timeuously. However, the implementation of an outreach team and clinical markers training program improved the recognition of patient deterioration in general wards with three hours and 40 minutes. It is recommended to implement a comprehensive hospital program that addresses the basic knowledge and skills of general ward personnel to observe, recognize, assess and intervene to patients with clinical deterioration. Together with an extensive training program, a basic physiological parameters guideline to activate a team of experts to the bedside, such as an Outreach team, assist nursing personnel to recognize and manage those patients timeuously and ensure treatment in an appropriate level of care. / Health Studies / M.

Besides theoretical studies related to the literature revision and analysis of documents, the present research availed of empirical data obtained from a case study accomplished in Federal Institute Catarinense – Campus Rio do Sul, which were submitted a qualitative analysis. The questions that led the elaboration of this thesis express of the following way: if the federal government intended to contribute to the enlargement of the vacancies in the public segment of the Higher Level Educational – especially of the teacher formation courses – without to give up of the connection between research and extension, because it chose to trust this mission to the newly-created Federal Institutes, contrary to keep it under the responsibility of the federal universities, that are reference in the attendance of this kind of request? The present thesis considers the presupposed that, in face of the difficulties that the capital system has found to do with the federal universities resign to their demands more immediate, the re-structuration of the Federal Network manifests itself in the effectivity of an alternated institutional pattern, based on the expectancy of that the Federal Institutions could adapt themselves more easily to these requests. This investigation has as general purpose to analysis the creation and the implantation of Federal Institute Catarinense – Campus Rio do Sul, with the intent to verify the features of this new institutional identity, especially in that it refers to the triad teaching-researching-extension and the links established with the clusters. The particular objectives are as follows: to make explicit what were the characteristics that determined the institutional identity of the old Federal Agrotechnical School of Rio do Sul and the type of linking that this Institution established with the activities of researching and extension; to identify, from the analysis of empirical data, the elements that express the particular forms that the process of “ifetização” assumed in the case of FIC – Campus Rio do Sul, especially those that bond to the attendance of the requests of the clusters and the articulation between the activities of teaching, researching and extension; to analysis the documents that regulated and directed the process of conception and creation of Federal Institutes; to make evident the results of the theses and dissertations about Federal Institutes and the expansion of the Higher Level Educational in Brazil, in order to make explicit the aspects that happen again and turning them universal in more extensive context of these policies; to carry out a historic survey of the genesis and the development of the integral institutions of the Federal Network, as well as of Brazilian universities, so as to identify the similarities and differences that established between these institutions of education, especially in that refers its social function and in the degree of the autonomy that they present in respect to the immediate interests of the capital. This investigation is directed from Marxist epistemological perspective, articulating elements of Marx and Gramsci’s works to the examination of the object investigated. / Este trabalho aborda o processo de criação e implantação dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFs) enquanto parte integrante das políticas educacionais voltadas à expansão do Ensino Superior no Brasil, durante o período 2003-2012. Além de estudos teóricos relacionados à revisão de literatura e análise de documentos, a presente pesquisa se valeu de dados empíricos obtidos por meio de um estudo de caso realizado no Instituto Federal Catarinense – Campus Rio do Sul, os quais foram analisados a partir de uma abordagem qualitativa. Os questionamentos que conduziram à elaboração desta tese se traduzem da seguinte maneira: se o governo federal pretendia contribuir para a ampliação das vagas no segmento público de Educação Superior – especialmente das licenciaturas – sem abrir mão de um ensino indissociado da pesquisa e da extensão, por que optou por confiar esta missão aos recém-criados Institutos Federais, ao invés de mantê-la sob a responsabilidade das universidades federais, que são referência no atendimento deste tipo de demanda? A presente tese considera o pressuposto de que, diante das dificuldades que o sistema do capital tem encontrado para fazer com que as universidades federais se conformem às suas demandas mais imediatas, a reestruturação da Rede Federal traduziu-se na efetivação de um modelo institucional alternativo, baseado na expectativa de que os Institutos Federais poderiam ajustar-se mais facilmente a estas demandas. A investigação teve como objetivo geral analisar a criação e a implantação do IFC – Campus Rio do Sul, com vistas a verificar as características desta nova identidade institucional, sobretudo no que se refere à tríade ensino-pesquisa-extensão e aos vínculos estabelecidos com os arranjos produtivos locais. Os objetivos específicos foram os seguintes: explicitar quais eram as características que determinavam a identidade institucional da antiga Escola Agrotécnica Federal de Rio do Sul e o tipo de vinculação que esta Instituição estabelecia com as atividades de pesquisa e de extensão; identificar, a partir da análise de dados empíricos, os elementos que expressam as formas particulares que o processo de “ifetização” assumiu no caso do IFC – Campus Rio do Sul, sobretudo aqueles que se vinculam ao atendimento das demandas dos arranjos produtivos locais e a articulação entre as atividades de ensino, de pesquisa e de extensão; analisar os documentos que regulamentaram e orientaram o processo de concepção e criação dos Institutos Federais; evidenciar os resultados das teses e dissertações produzidas sobre os Institutos Federais e a expansão da Educação Superior no Brasil, a fim de explicitar os aspectos que se repetem e se tornam universais no contexto mais amplo destas políticas; realizar um levantamento histórico da gênese e do desenvolvimento das instituições integrantes da Rede Federal, bem como das universidades federais brasileiras, de modo a identificar as semelhanças e diferenças que se estabeleceram entre estas instituições de ensino, especialmente no que tange à sua função social e ao grau de autonomia que apresentam em relação aos interesses imediatos do capital. A presente pesquisa se orientou no referencial teórico marxista, articulando elementos das obras de Marx e de Gramsci para a análise do objeto investigado.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In this work the relationship between two famous conceptions of existence is investigated. The first, proposed by Kant, excludes the concept of existence from the set of possible predicates or properties of objects. The second, later proposed by Frege, treats the concept of existence as a higher-level predicate, i.e., it presents this concept as a predicate of predicates rather than as a predicate of objects. A closer look at these conceptions reveals, however, that despite this similarity it would be premature to identify their conceptions, because there are differences with regard to the systems in which they are embedded as well as differences with regard to the aims that they pursue. The present work tries to show that Kant developed his conceptions of the concept of existence in an epistemological context whose aim was, as he makes clear in his opus magnum, to warrant the claim that every knowledge should have besides a conceptual element also a counterpart arising from the intuition. Frege, on the other hand, develops his conception in a basically logical context, in which the treatment of expressions is submitted to strong rigor. The aim of the present work is to compare Kant s and Frege s approaches in order to answer the question whether there are significant differences between their characterizations of the concept of existence and, if so, which ones. One important result of the present work is that the differences in their positions are consequences of some differences between the contexts in which they are developed. Another result is that their conceptions include some common theses, such as the claim that the concept of existence is not a concept that can be used to characterize an object, or the claim that existential statements constitute an odd type of judgement whose appearance in natural languages suggests an erroneous reading of them. On the other hand, however, there are significant differences between the positions advocated by Kant and Frege as, for instance, differences with regard to the possibility of deriving statements of existence from the analysis of concepts, a possibility that is categorically denied by Kant but admitted, with some qualifications, by Frege. The third important result finally is that Frege s conception of existence must be regarded as an improvement, not as a mere repetition, of Kant s conception. / Este trabalho apresenta um estudo da relação entre duas célebres abordagens do conceito de existência. A primeira, apresentada por Kant, exclui o conceito de existência do conjunto dos possíveis predicados ou propriedades de objetos. A segunda, apresentada mais tarde por Frege, trata o conceito de existência como um predicado de nível superior, i.e., apresenta o conceito como um predicado de predicados, e não como um conceito que se aplica diretamente a objetos. Apesar de ambas abordagens se parecerem muito entre si, um estudo mais aprofundado de ambas servirá para mostrar que a diferença entre os sistemas teóricos em que se inserem, bem como entre os objetivos que visavam, sugerem que seria precipitado identificá-las. Tentar-se-á mostrar, neste trabalho, que Kant desenvolve suas concepções a respeito deste conceito num contexto epistemológico, tendo em vista, como fica claro na sua opus magnum, garantir o requisito de que todo conhecimento deve ter, além do elemento conceitual, também uma contraparte advinda da intuição. Frege, por sua vez, apresenta suas teses a respeito do tema dentro de um contexto basicamente lógico, onde se fazia necessária uma rigorização do tratamento das expressões que compõem a linguagem. O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em estudar a abordagem de cada autor separadamente, e, em seguida, comparar as duas abordagens a fim de mostrar se existem diferenças significativas entre as caracterizações que ambos deram ao conceito de existência, e, em caso positivo, mostrar quais seriam estas diferenças. Dentre os principais resultados a que se chegou, destacam-se as diferenças que as posições dos autores possuem; diferenças sugeridas pela diferenciação entre os contextos de apresentação da temática nos dois autores. Também se destaca a equivalência das teses de ambos em alguns aspectos, como por exemplo, a tese segundo a qual o conceito de existência não se encontra entre os conceitos que podem servir para caracterizar um objeto, ou a alegação de que os enunciados existenciais constituem um tipo único de juízo, cuja aparência nas linguagens naturais sugere uma leitura errônea dos mesmos. Deve-se mencionar, por outro lado, a diferença significativa de posições de Kant e Frege em outros aspectos, como no que tange à possibilidade de se derivar existência por meio de análise conceitual, possibilidade negada categoricamente por Kant e admitida, com algumas ressalvas, por Frege. Por fim, destaca-se a possibilidade de se interpretar as teses de Frege como um aperfeiçoamento, mas não como uma mera repetição, das teses de Kant.

La deserción universitaria alcanza un 30%, lo que puede deberse a que los estudiantes tienen dificultades para integrar su identidad con aspectos de su profesión. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue describir el desarrollo de la identidad profesional en estudiantes que han cambiado de carrera en una universidad privada. Para ello, se realizó un estudio cualitativo, de alcance exploratorio, con enfoque fenomenológico, entre los años 2019 y 2021. Se utilizó la entrevista a profundidad como método de recolección de información, que fue aplicada a una muestra constituida por 9 estudiantes universitarios, de entre 22 y 27 años y los datos se analizaron por medio del análisis temático. Los resultados se organizan a partir de las siguientes categorías: integriación de la profesión a la identidad, imagen profesional, experiencias significativas, congruencia percibida con la profesión e incidente crítico. Estos indican que en la carrera previa los estudiantes no logran identificarse del todo con su profesión, por lo que cambian de carrera. A partir de ello, se observa una mayor identificación con la carrera actual, que se da a partir de experiencias que le permiten al estudiante demostrar sus capacidades e integrar aspectos de la profesión a su identidad. Se concluye que los estudiantes que cambian de carrera desarrollan su identidad profesional sobre la base de una fuerte identificación con la segunda carrera. Por ello, se recomienda implementar estrategias que permitan abordar el desarrollo de la identidad profesional en los estudiantes, así como continuar estudiando ese fenómeno. / University dropout reaches 30%, which may be because students have difficulty integrating their identity with aspects of their profession. Therefore, the objective of this research was to describe the professional identity development in students who have changed careers at a private university. For this, a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach and exploratory scope was carried out between 2019 and 2021. The data was collected with an in-depth interview, which was applied to a sample of 9 students from a private university, between 22 and 27 years old, and the data was then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results are organized according to the following categories: integration of the profession to identity, professional image, significant experiences, perceived congruence with the profession and critical incident. These indicate that in the previous career, students couldn’t fully identify with their profession, which resulted in a career change. After this, a greater identification with the current profession is observed, based on experiences that allow students to show their capacities and integrate aspects of the profession to their identities. In conclusion, students who change careers develop their professional identity based on a strong identification with the second career. Therefore, it is recommended to implement strategies that address professional identity development in students, and to continue studying this phenomenon. / Tesis
