Esta dissertação analisa a representação das comunidades de descendentes de imigrantes alemães no Rio Grande do Sul, durante o período do Estado Novo, sob a ótica de duas obras literárias de autores gaúchos, escritas nesse período: Um rio imita o Reno, de Vianna Moog, publicada em 1939, e Longe do Reno – Uma resposta a Vianna Moog, de Bayard Mércio, publicada em 1940. É realizada uma discussão sobre a forma como esses imigrantes eram percebidos em sua relação com a sociedade brasileira, ou seja, se havia uma integração desses grupos na cultura do país e na defesa dos interesses nacionais, ou se eles ainda permaneciam vivendo a cultura de seus antepassados e mantendo relações com a política alemã. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-07-03T16:28:17Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Paula Cristina Weber.pdf: 1939225 bytes, checksum: 777491c7f741eb15a5fb3366bc367ebd (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-07-03T16:28:17Z (GMT).

Is held a discussion about how these immigrants were perceived in their relationship with Brazilian society; in other words, whether there was an integration of these groups into the culture of the country and in the defense of national interests, or if they were still living the culture of their ancestors and maintaining relationships with German politics.

This thesis examines the Australia Army???s campaign on Papua from July 1942 to January 1943 with the focus on logistic support of the fighting arms and the relation of logistics to the tactics of tropical jungle warfare. It begins by examining the traditional approach to logistics in the military profession - the experience of Australian officers and forces in particular - from the First World War until May 1942, when the Australian territory of Papua was invaded. It establishes that the Army was poorly prepared because, as well as having never anticipated a prolonged land campaign in Papua-New Guinea, it lacked the logistic resources and knowledge of logistics as applicable to tropical jungle warfare. It then proceeds to examine the retreat over the Kokoda Track and the turning-point battles for Milne Bay and Imita Ridge. It demonstrates that the principal factor in the Australian retreat was logistic failure, as geography and lack of logistic resources prevented adequate supply of the fighting arms at least until lines of communication had been shortened; even then, difficulties remained. The thesis is rounded off by assessing the counter-attack across the territory of Papua for the capture of the enemy???s beachheads at Buna, Gona and Sanananda. It concludes that, as the island???s geography and tropical environment so dominated operations and since shortages of logistic equipment and units persisted, the Army could not perfect its logistic organisation by the end of this first phase of the New Guinea campaign. It fell back on improvisation and the fortitude of troops to triumph over the Japanese.

It is important to have a robust architecture that can be easily adapted to requirement changes. It is also important that work strategy allows robots to complete tasks efficiently, considering that robots interact directly in environments with humans. In this context, this work explores two approaches for robot soccer team coordination for cooperative tasks development. Both approaches are based on a combination of imitation learning and reinforcement learning. Thus, in the first approach was developed a control architecture, a fuzzy inference engine for recognizing situations in robot soccer games, a software for narration of robot soccer games based on the inference engine and the implementation of learning by imitation from observation and analysis of others robotic teams. Moreover, state abstraction was efficiently implemented in reinforcement learning applied to the robot soccer standard problem. Finally, reinforcement learning was implemented in a form where actions are explored only in some states (for example, states where an specialist robot system used them) differently to the traditional form, where actions have to be tested in all states. In the second approach reinforcement learning was implemented with function approximation, for which an algorithm called RBF-Sarsa($lambda$) was created. In both approaches batch reinforcement learning algorithms were implemented and imitation learning was used as a seed for reinforcement learning. Moreover, learning from robotic teams controlled by humans was explored. The proposal in this work had revealed efficient in the robot soccer standard problem and, when implemented in other robotics systems, they will allow that these robotics systems can efficiently and effectively develop assigned tasks. These approaches will give high adaptation capabilities to requirements and environment changes. / Em sistemas multi-rob?s a arquitetura de controle e a estrat?gia de trabalho representam um desafio para os pesquisadores. ? importante que a arquitetura de controle seja robusta, de forma que se adapte naturalmente ?s mudan?as nas caracter?sticas do problema e tamb?m que a estrat?gia de trabalho permita aos rob?s desenvolver as tarefas atribu?das eficaz e eficientemente, levando em considera??o a restri??o de que os rob?s v?o interagir diretamente em ambientes povoados de seres humanos. Neste contexto, este trabalho explora duas abordagens para a coordena??o de uma frota de rob?s desenvolvendo tarefas cooperativas. Ambas as abordagens s?o baseadas em uma mistura de aprendizado por imita??o e por experi?ncia. Assim, na primeira abordagem desenvolveu-se uma arquitetura de controle, uma m?quina de infer?ncia difusa para reconhecimento de fatos em jogos de futebol, um software narrador de jogos baseado na m?quina de infer?ncia difusa, e a implementa??o de aprendizado por imita??o a partir de observa??o e an?lise de outros times rob?ticos. Al?m disso, aplicou-se eficientemente abstra??o de estados em aprendizado por refor?o no problema padr?o de futebol de rob?s. Finalmente, o aprendizado por refor?o foi implementado de forma que as a??es somente s?o executadas em certos estados (por exemplo os estados onde algum sistema rob?tico especialista j? as utilizou) diferentemente da forma tradicional onde as a??es no banco de conhecimento t?m que ser testadas em todos os estados. No caso da segunda abordagem, implementou-se aprendizado por refor?o com aproxima??o de fun??es, para o que foi criado um algoritmo chamado RBF-Sarsa($lambda$). Em ambas as abordagens implementou-se o aprendizado por refor?o em lotes e o aprendizado por imita??o como semente para aprendizado por refor?o. Al?m disso, explorou-se o aprendizado com times de rob?s controlados por seres humanos. As propostas deste trabalho mostraram-se eficientes no problema padr?o de futebol de rob?s, e ao serem implementadas em outros sistemas rob?ticos permitir?o que os mesmos sejam eficazes e eficientes no desenvolvimento das tarefas atribu?das com um alto grau de adapta??o ?s mudan?as dos requerimentos e do ambiente.
