This thesis analyzes the process of proactive urban design in a theoretical framework. It asks searching questions about how built environments are conceived of, designed, delivered, protected, enhanced and managed, and it explores these by examining the proactive planning practices in Britain. It defines the proactive approach firstly as / how both the spatial policy and detailed guidance express and prescribe the desired physical form, and secondly / how this is pursued through active negotiation. While encompasses land use planning, spatial planning goes beyond physical planning with a clearly defined local vision which emphasises social, economic and environmental values. This inclusive approach defines urban design as a spatial policy describing both the form and the life of the city. It deals with how urban design infuses planning policies at all levels. The case study looks into policy mechanisms associated with the delivery of good urban design. It represents the proactive planning practice through involvement, partnership working and negotiation processes based on a sustainable community strategy. It focuses on the policies influencing design quality and how these shape the decisionmaking processes of public and private sector stakeholders resulting in better quality of built environment and a more vibrant public realm. This study examines the social structure that developed the proactive approach for best practice to become common practice. It explains the lessons to learn from the definition of spatial planning process with its context and implementation tools, even if these might not be adapted to Turkey without the same intellectual and philosophical backgrounds.

The primary purpose was to show that the human being is endowed with a spiritual understanding, that is, he carries within him a divine spark capable of making sense and meaning to his life, and that from this emerges the need for that human being to have a new vision of the world. The dissertation is divided into three chapters. The first deals with the contextualization of the historical process by which humanity has experienced, thus presenting a story about the paradigm of rationality and the transition to the new paradigm. The second explains how spirituality is understood in the traditional paradigm and the new paradigms, as well as the urgency and importance of spirituality as intelligence, highlighting it s urgency today. The third shows a correlation between concepts and theories presented in previous chapters, utilising Jesus as an example, a person who had the spiritual intelligence as an evident trace in his being. / Propõe-se nesta pesquisa a fazer um estudo da espiritualidade humana como inteligência. O intuito principal foi mostrar que o ser humano é dotado de uma inteligência espiritual, isto é, que ele carrega dentro de si uma centelha divina capaz de criar sentido e significado para a sua vida, e que disso emerge a necessidade de esse ser humano ter uma nova visão de mundo. A dissertação está dividida em três capítulos. O primeiro trata da contextualização do processo histórico pelo qual a humanidade vem passando, apresentando, assim, a história sobre o paradigma da racionalidade, assim como a passagem para o novo paradigma. O segundo expõe como a espiritualidade é compreendida no paradigma tradicional e o novo paradigma, bem como a urgência e relevância da espiritualidade como inteligência, destacando sua premente atualidade. O terceiro apresenta uma correlação entre conceitos e teorias apresentados nos capítulos antecedentes, utilizando como exemplo Jesus, uma pessoa que tinha a inteligência espiritual como traço evidente de seu ser.

[pt] Esta pesquisa analisa a dificuldade que os alunos de Faculdades de Design de Moda do Rio de Janeiro demonstram na transposição das representações mentais (ideia) para a representação real (desenho), redundando em um produto final, a roupa, desvinculado da representação mental inicial. Nossa hipótese é a de que a maioria carece de experimentar com reflexão, de perceber o todo e as partes que o constituem, de ser incentivado a explorar e desenvolver suas competências, ampliando suas habilidades, desenvolvendo uma visão holística do processo do Design de Moda. O ponto de partida deste estudo foi a experiência da autora, em sala de aula, fazendo uso da observação, da investigação e da identificação, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, entrevista e questionário, dos fatores que impedem o trânsito livre no processo de construção de uma roupa. Assim, o objetivo é propor subsídios facilitadores a partir de uma metodologia que visa propiciar a autonomia e consequente liberdade do aluno em um processo que envolve a Prática aliada à Teoria, na tríade proposta: ideia – desenho – produto, à luz do ver, do perceber e do construir. Tendo como suporte a aplicação de algumas técnicas artísticas, a partir de constante experimentação, buscou-se promover, num primeiro momento, a liberação de aspectos que bloqueiam a criatividade e que ampliam a visão espacial. Concluímos também que é necessário desenvolver conhecimentos de técnicas/arte de Modelagem, de Desenho Técnico, de Costura, que influenciarão na materialização da ideia, representada no Desenho/Ilustração de Moda. / [en] This research analyzes the difficulty that students from Faculties of Fashion Design in Rio de Janeiro demonstrate in transposing mental representations (idea) to real representation (drawing), resulting in a final product, clothing, unrelated to the initial mental representation. Our hypothesis is that the majority needs to experiment with reflection, to perceive the whole and the parts that constitute it, to be encouraged to explore and develop their skills, expanding their skills, developing a holistic view of the Fashion Design process. The starting point of this study was the author s experience, in the classroom, making use of observation, investigation and identification, from bibliographic research, interview and questionnaire, of the factors that prevent free transit in the process of building a clothes. Thus, the objective is to propose facilitating subsidies based on a methodology that aims to provide the student s autonomy and consequent freedom in a process that involves Practice allied to Theory, in the proposed triad: idea - design - product, in the light of seeing, of perceiving and building. Based on the application of some artistic techniques, based on constant experimentation, we sought to promote, at first, the release of aspects that block creativity and expand the spatial view. We also concluded that it is necessary to develop knowledge of techniques / art in Modeling, Technical Drawing, Sewing, which will influence the materialization of the idea, represented in Fashion Design / Illustration.

This happens because it is a complex process where the majority of the representatives managerial of organizational functions participating in the execution, with each trying to contribute to define a coordinated plan of actions for a period of short, medium and long term. Computational models and tools focused to aid the process of S & OP are used and can contribute to improving the quality of its implementation and results. The most common tools are those based on spreadsheets, whose content is generated through the expertise of the decision makers, and more sophisticated techniques are based on techniques of the operational research inserted in Advanced Planning Systems (APS), whose analytical models seek to generate optimized plans. From the literature review on the computational techniques used to aid the S&OP process, was identified the lack of studies related to the use of System Dynamics. Additionally, the review indicates the need for studies related to the integration of economic and financial analysis during the preparation of aggregates plans and the use of probabilistic variables in the process enabling the statistical analysis in order to provide plans more realistic. Another relevant issue observed is that managers involved in the process S&OP does not always have a global vision of all variables and constraints involved in this process, so it is also observed that the techniques and tools used to implement the S&OP process does not provide a holistic view of activities and variables involved. Thus, the aim of this work is to develop a simulation model of System Dynamics which provides a holistic vision for the S&OP process, allowing the integration of finance processes and the use of probabilistic variables. The research method used was based on a qualitative and quantitative approach procedure with modeling / simulation. Thus, the aim of the research is to develop a simulation model of System Dynamics to assist the S & OP process. The research method used was based on a qualitative and quantitative approach with modeling / simulation procedure. The simulation model based on the methodology of system dynamics for the S & OP process was developed and analyzed in illustrative cases, performed in two companies with feature make to stock (MTS). Simulations of illustrative cases were conducted by a design of experiment (DOE) to select and evaluate a set of scenarios, determining the best scenario and checking the adequacy with practice of companies. A evaluation of the use and results of simulations in both cases shows that the system dynamics model improves the understanding of the managements on all activities involved in the S&OP process, as well provides a holistic view of all areas involved. The simulations provides compatible plans compared with business practice, with the advantage of dealing with economic and financial analysis simultaneously and allow the generation of numerous scenarios of S&OP plans. / Apesar do processo de S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning) não ser uma prática nova nas empresas, principalmente naquelas de grande porte, ele ainda carece de estudos nas suas práticas e ferramentas computacionais de apoio. Isso decorre por ser um processo complexo onde a maioria dos representantes gerenciais das funções organizacionais participa da sua execução, com cada um tentando contribuir para definir um planejamento coordenado de ações para um período de curto, médio e longo prazo. Modelos e ferramentas computacionais focadas para o auxílio no processo de S&OP são utilizadas e podem contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade da sua execução e dos seus resultados. As ferramentas mais comuns são aquelas baseadas em planilhas eletrônicas, cujo conteúdo é gerado por meio do conhecimento especializado dos tomadores de decisão, e as mais sofisticadas, são baseadas em técnicas de pesquisa operacional inseridas em sistemas APS (Advanced Planning Systems), cujos modelos analíticos procuram gerar planos otimizados. A partir da revisão bibliográfica realizada sobre as técnicas computacionais usadas para o auxílio do processo S&OP, foi identificada a ausência de estudos relacionados ao uso de Dinâmica de Sistemas. Adicionalmente, a revisão aponta a necessidade de estudos relacionados à integração de análise econômica e financeira durante a elaboração dos planos agregados e o uso de variáveis probabilísticas no processo que possibilitem a análise estatística no sentido de fornecer planos mais confiáveis. Outra questão relevante observada é que os gestores que participam do processo S&OP nem sempre tem uma visão global de todas variáveis e restrições envolvidas neste processo, assim observa-se também que as técnicas e ferramentas utilizadas para execução do processo de S&OP não oferecem uma visão holística das atividades e variáveis envolvidas. Com isso, o objetivo da pesquisa é desenvolver um modelo de Simulação de Dinâmica de Sistemas que proporcione uma visão holística para o processo de S&OP e que permita a integração com os processos da área financeira e o uso de variáveis probabilísticas. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi baseado em uma abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa com procedimento modelagem/simulação. O modelo de simulação baseado na metodologia da dinâmica de sistemas para o processo de S&OP foi elaborado e analisado em casos ilustrativos, realizados em duas empresas com característica de produção para estoque (MTS). As simulações dos casos ilustrativos foram conduzidas por um projeto de experimento (DOE) para selecionar e avaliar um conjunto de cenários, determinando o melhor cenário e verificando a adequação com a prática das empresas. A avaliação do uso e dos resultados das simulações realizadas nos dois casos aponta que o modelo de dinâmica de sistemas melhora a compreensão dos gestores sobre todas as atividades envolvidas no processo de S&OP, como também fornece uma visão holística de todas as áreas envolvidas. A simulação gera planos compatíveis comparados com a prática empresarial, com a vantagem de tratar a análise econômica e financeira simultaneamente e possibilitar a geração de inúmeros cenários de planos de S&OP.

Devant le manque de ressources économiques et la pauvreté, les « OGM » apparaissent comme un outil visant à contribuer à la croissance économique et alimentaire, notamment dans les pays en voie de développement et sous-développés. Cependant, nous devons nous pencher sur un sujet tout aussi fondamental, à savoir la protection juridique, accordée par la législation tant nationale qu’internationale en lien avec les « connaissances traditionnelles » quand elles sont aux prises avec l’utilisation des OGM. Connaître cette interaction et évaluer ses effets sur la culture est un sujet d’une ampleur considérable à l’heure actuelle, principalement lorsque l’on considère les « savoirs locaux » comme des éléments fondamentaux pour la conservation de la « biodiversité » et le « développement durable ». / Given the lack of economic resources and poverty, « GMOs » would appear to be a useful tool contributing to economic growth and food production, particularly in developing and underdeveloped countries. However, there is an equally important corollary issue we must address, namely the legal protection afforded by legislation both nationally and internationally, to « traditional knowledge » when they are faced with the use of GMOs. Understanding this interaction and its impact on culture is a significant issue at present, especially when one considers the importance of «local knowledge » as an element for the preservation of « biodiversity » and « sustainable development ».
