No. of bitstreams: 1 Wander Marques Vieira.pdf: 636097 bytes, checksum: d2c206978b9fa1a1f1d3798e5780f48b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-04-13 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research analyzes the Newspaper Report genre in reference to the Representation processes of an event - the air crash which involved a Legacy, an executive jet belonging to an American charter company, and a Boeing, from a Brazilian airline, on September 29, 2006 - investigating the existing relations between some lexical-grammatical choices and the underlying ideology and power involved. Two reports published in leading Brazilian and American newspapers are analyzed for the Legitimacy which characterizes the Argumentation found in the reports. The analysis is based on the distinction called Writer s Consciousness of the Audience , between the Interactive and Interactional components involved in the interpersonal function. According to the Interactive components, this research aims to analyze not only the Report genre structure - its stages and finalities - based on proposals on the structure of Argumentation, but also the Textual Modes which build it. As for the Interactional components, which comprise Appraisal and Modality, this research wants to examine the Intertextual and Intersubjective relations prompted by the Voices and the Alignment existing in the text. Methodologically, these resources are examined in the light of the Critic Linguistics with the support of Systemic-Functional Grammar to show that the interpretations given by the two newspapers are constructed by specific choices on the microlevel of clauses reflecting the attribution of specific ideology from interior or exterior members of a group on the underlying macrolevel. In so being, this research seeks to answer the following questions: a) How the Legacy-Boeing air crash is represented by either newspapers? b) What role do the Interactive and Interactional components exert on the Representation? c) What is the contribution of Systemic-Functional Grammar to the research conducted / Esta pesquisa examina o gênero Reportagem de Jornal no que se refere aos processos de Representação de um evento - o acidente aéreo, ocorrido em 29/09/06, envolvendo um Legacy, jato executivo da ExcelAire, uma empresa americana, e um Boeing, da Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes, uma empresa brasileira - investigando as relações entre certas escolhas léxico-gramaticais e as relações de ideologia e poder a elas subjacentes. No exame da persuasão que ocorre em duas reportagens: uma publicada em jornal brasileiro e outra, em jornal americano, examino a noção de Legitimidade, que caracteriza a Argumentação desenvolvida nas reportagens. A análise apoia-se na distinção feita pela chamada Consciência da Audiência por parte do Escritor , entre os componentes Interativo e Interacional, envolvidos na função interpessoal. Com referência ao componente Interativo, examino não só a estrutura do gênero Reportagem de Jornal - seus estágios e finalidades - com base em propostas sobre a estrutura da Argumentação, mas também os Modos Textuais que o constroem. Quanto ao componente Interacional, que envolve a Avaliatividade explícita e implícita e a Modalidade, examino as relações de Intertextualidade e de Intersubjetividade, promovidas pelas Vozes e o Alinhamento que percorrem o texto. Metodologicamente, esses recursos serão examinados à luz da Linguística Crítica, com o apoio da Gramática Sistêmico- Funcional, para mostrar que as interpretações dadas pelos dois jornais são construídas por escolhas específicas no micronível das orações, refletindo a atribuição de ideologia específica a membros interiores ou exteriores ao grupo , no macronível subjacente. Para tanto, a análise deve responder às seguintes perguntas: (a) Como o acidente envolvendo o Legacy e o Boeing é representado por cada um dos jornais? (b) Que papel exercem os componentes Interativo e Interacional nessa Representação? (c) Qual é a contribuição da Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional para o exame feito em (a) e (b)? Os resultados mostram que, ainda que o gênero Reportagem de Jornal procure primar-se pela imparcialidade, a língua, sendo um meio de refração e estruturação de significados, além de se considerar que as instituições jornalísticas situam-se social, econômica e politicamente, fica patente que o elemento ideológico entra em jogo, e a imparcialidade dá lugar à parcialidade expressa por meio das estratégias retóricas

Public transport policies play a key role in shaping the social and spatial structure of cities. These policies influence how easily people can access opportunities, including health and educational services and job positions. The accessibility impacts of transport policies thus have important implications for social inequalities and for the promotion of just and inclusive cities. However, in the transportation literature, there is still little theoretically informed understanding of justice and what it means in the context of transport policies. Moreover, few studies have moved beyond descriptive analyses of accessibility inequalities to evaluate how much those inequalities result from transport policies themselves. This is particularly true in cities from the global South, where accessibility and equity have so far remained marginal concerns in the policy realm. This thesis builds on theories of distributive justice and examines how they can guide the evaluation of transport policies and plans. It points to pathways for rigorous assessment of the accessibility impacts of transport policies and it contributes to current discussions on transportation equity. A justice framework is developed to assess the distributional effects of transport policies. This framework is then applied to evaluate recent transport policies developed in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in preparation to host sports mega-events, such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, which included substantial expansion of the rail and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) infrastructure. This research presents ex-post analyses of the policies implemented between 2014 and 2017 and ex-ante analysis of an as yet unfinished BRT project. It evaluates how the planned transport legacy of those mega-events impacted accessibility to sports venues, healthcare facilities, public schools and job opportunities for different income groups. The results show that there were overall accessibility benefits from the expansion in transport infrastructure between 2014 and 2017, but these were generally offset by the reduction in bus service levels that followed an economic crisis that hit the city after the Olympics. Quasi-counterfactual analysis suggests that, even if the city had not been hit by the economic crisis, recent transport investments related to mega-events would have led to higher accessibility gains for wealthier groups and increased inequalities in access to opportunities. Results suggest that those investments had, or would have had, greater impact on inequalities of access to jobs than in access to schools and healthcare facilities. The evaluation of the future accessibility impacts of the unfinished BRT corridor, nonetheless, indicates that such project could significantly improve access to job opportunities for a large share of Rio's population, particularly lower-income groups. Spatial analysis techniques show that the magnitude and statistical significance of these results depend on the spatial scale and travel time threshold selected for cumulative opportunity accessibility analysis. These results demonstrate that the ad-hoc methodological choices of accessibility analysis commonly used in the academic and policy literature can change the conclusions of equity assessments of transportation projects.

Lina Bo Bardi e Lucio Costa foram importantes intelectuais-arquitetos brasileiros do século XX. Suas trajetórias, muito diferentes nos princípios e nas causas, têm muito em comum nos seus efeitos. Relatar a importância de suas atuações públicas em todos os abrangentes aspectos relativos à inteligência e à arquitetura está sendo objeto de muitas novas pesquisas, com renovado interesse. Nesse aspecto, apresentamos nossa versão de suas atuações, desenvoltas, na arte e na técnica - antigas ou modernas -, no plano político e social, na vida cotidiana e na vida urbana, e, numa palavra, arquitetura. Procura-se, nas duas diferentes trajetórias, localizar e identificar pontos de atuação comuns ou díspares, inserir os comentários relativos ao que estava ocorrendo paralelamente ou à margem deles, inseridos nos contextos históricos, ou vertiginosos na história - venturas, mas muitos mais dissabores -, pelos quais passaram, e que não foram poucos. Mas reagiam e prosseguiam. A inteligência das diferentes reações - no mais das vezes veementes - somadas ao ânimo de continuar no afazer do ofício é impressionante. Os capítulos que tem por nome obras específicas, acabam por ser ziguezagueantes, pulando para outras obras ou fatos, na tentativa de se explicar processos técnicos ou até mesmo fatos históricos nos quais estas obras estão inseridas. / Lina Bo Bardi and Lucio Costa were brazilian important intelectual-architects of the 20th century. Their pathways, very differents in their principles and in their causes, have a lot in common on their effects. Relating the importance of their public actions in all the aspects concerning intelligence and architecture have been the object of lots of new researches, with renewed interest. In this aspect, we present our version of their actions, developed in art and in technique - antique or modern -, in political and social foreground, in everyday life and urban life, and, to say one word, architecture. The intention is to locate and identify the differences and the common points of actions in their trajectories and also make comments concerning what was happening among them or in spite of them. In their history context, the adventures and, most of all, the discontentments that they have been through - and they were many. But they reacted and carried on. The impassioned intelligence together with the cheer to labor on is impressive. The chapters that are named by specific works tend to be a bit zig-zagging. They jump from works to facts in the attemp to explain technical processes and historical facts in which this works are inserted.

With the widespread use of the Internet and its associated technologies, enterprises have to evolve in the way they are conducting business. 'e-business applications' refer to a new class of distributed applications that involves the Internet as a communication platform. Each e-business application supports the full automation of business processes that can span across multiple enterprises. For a given application domain that involves e-business application development, a number of design decisions that best fullfil stakeholders requirements have to be made. One important issue is the reuse of functionality which exists within legacy systems that can belong to one or more enterprises within the same domain. Most existing design approaches are inadequate in supporting the exploration of all design combinations. Moreover, there is little work on how to identify the best design decisions systematically for a given application domain. In this thesis we present a pattern-based approach that addresses the architectural design of e-business applications. We identify a number of architectural patterns whose instantiation on a given design problem correspond to different architectural design alternatives. We also identify models that enable the estimation of quality attributes for such alternatives. Then we investigate and utilise methods to select the best pattern for a given design problem. We also describe the process of generating the alternative architectures, estimating their qualities, and then ranking them with respect to any quality attribute or a combination of quality attributes. We validate this approach on a real life case study in the area of capital markets. The case study concerns realistic e-business applications that rely on existing legacy applications. The validation exercise has produced predictions which have been compared with actual design decisions that have been made. The thesis also proposes a framework for the systematic identification of architectural patterns. An additional set of architectural patterns and their impact on the case study are discussed. The main contribution of this thesis is in the identification of patterns and quality attributes models for the architectural design of e-business applications that aid in the systematic selection of the most appropriate architectural pattern for a given problem context.

Denna uppsats handlar om filmtrailrar, och mer specifikt trailrar som marknadsför 3D-filmer. Syftet är att lyfta fram ett till stora delar outforskat ämne och undersöka likheter och skillnader i konventioner mellan trailrar från 50-talet och moderna trailrar. Frågorna jag ämnar svara är: Hur marknadsför moderna, samtida trailrar 3D-teknologin? Finns det gemensamma konventioner och stilistiska grepp som är genomgående för dessa trailrar? Vad finns det för likheter respektive skillnader i konevntioner och grepp? Vad har förändrats i marknadsföringen av 3D-teknologin sedan 1950-talet? Forskningsfältet trailrar är till stora delar outforskat, men mitt arbete lyfter fram några studier som gjorts. Kernan har skrivit en bok om trailrar i allmänhetoch utformat tankar och resonemang om vad en trailer är. Hon utgår ifrån ett retoriskt synsätt och menar att det går att utläsa hur studior via trailrar "talar" till publiken. Street har skrivit en artikel som utgår ifrån Esther Harris, som skapade trailrar i England, och hennes arbete. Street redogör för Harris trailrar i synnerhet och filmtrailrar i allmänhet och knyter an till det Kernan redogör för i sin bok. Johnston har skrivit om hur trailrar marknadsför teknologi, däribland en artikel om just trailrar för 3D-filmer. Det är denna artikel, med hans resonemang och resultat, som ligger till grund som teoretisk ram för detta arbete. Johnston menar att en rad konventioner och grepp utvecklades under 1950-talet för att lyfta fram 3D-formatet som den stora stjärnan som skulle locka tillbaka publiken till biograferna. Han menar att scener och sekvenser med action, specialeffekter och spektakel lyftes fram så att publiken skulle få se prov på vad formatet kunde göra. Speciellt klipp med utstickande föremål eller armar, vapen eller liknande, framhävdes för att understryka den tredje dimensionen. Man använde även textskyltar och berättarröster som berättade och informerade om 3D-teknologin., samt så kallade "Masters of Ceremonies"; specialskapade segment i trailern där, oftast, en skådespelare (som sig själv eller i sin roll) vände sig direkt till publiken och berättade om 3D-formatet.  I min analys utgår jag ifrån Johnstons teorier och analysrerar sedan trailrarna till Avatar, The Final Destination, Tron: Legacy, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, The Three Musketeers, The Adventures of Tintin, Men In Black 3 samt The Smurfs. Jag finner att trailrarna gör väldigt lite eller inget alls för att informera om 3D-formatet, men att konventioner i val av klipp och scener sig lika sedan 1950-talet. Med andra ord, att scener med action, specialeffekter, spektakel, och saker och föremål och annat som sticker ut ur skärmen lyfts fram. Undantaget är trailern till The Smurfs som till stor del är lik trailerkonventionerna från 50-talet, i det att den vänder sig direkt till publiken i specialgjort material i sitt tilltal och använder sig av "the Master of Ceremonies".  Jag kommer fram till att mycket i de moderna trailrarna är sig likt och att flera konventioner och grepp lever kvar sedan 50-talet. De största skillnaderna ligger i det direkta tilltalet till publiken och att de moderna trailrarna tycks tona ner budskapet om 3D-formatet.

This master thesis covers re-engineering methods of legacy systems. Legacy system is an old system, which is hardly compliant with modern technologies and used only because it has become an integral part of organization business process support during the long period of its maintenance. These systems are large, monolithic and difficult to modify, and cost and risk of their replacement are difficult to predict. The science of software engineering offers an incremental modernization of information systems applying the re-engineering of legacy software. The main goal of software re-engineering is to transform the software in the way, it would become easier to understand, maintain and re-use, at the same time preserving its useful, time trusted functions. The main re-engineering methods are source code translation, reverse engineering and data re-engineering. This thesis covers the analysis of these methods, which was made during the re-engineering of wood production and sales accounting system. The adoption and realization time rate of every method was examined. The influence of the applied re-engineering methods to the system reliability, efficiency, usability and other quality metrics is given.

This undergraduate thesis is an examination of the works of Odorannus (c. 985-c. 1046), a monk of the abbey of Saint Pierre-le-Vif in Sens, France. A prominent monk in his community, Odorannus was involved in constructing and celebrating his monastery's prosperity and identity. At times, however, he was at variance with his brethren, even experiencing a brief period in exile. This essay explores aspects of Odorannus' compilation, a collection which the monk himself gathered together in his old age, in terms of the dynamic relationship between self and community in a Benedictine monastery of the central Middle Ages.

Traditionnellement, les applications orientées objets légataires intègrent différents aspects fonctionnels. Ces aspects peuvent être dispersés partout dans le code. Il existe différents types d’aspects : • des aspects qui représentent des fonctionnalités métiers ; • des aspects qui répondent à des exigences non fonctionnelles ou à d’autres considérations de conception comme la robustesse, la distribution, la sécurité, etc. Généralement, le code qui représente ces aspects chevauche plusieurs hiérarchies de classes. Plusieurs chercheurs se sont intéressés à la problématique de la modularisation de ces aspects dans le code : programmation orientée sujets, programmation orientée aspects et programmation orientée vues. Toutes ces méthodes proposent des techniques et des outils pour concevoir des applications orientées objets sous forme de composition de fragments de code qui répondent à différents aspects. La séparation des aspects dans le code a des avantages au niveau de la réutilisation et de la maintenance. Ainsi, il est important d’identifier et de localiser ces aspects dans du code légataire orienté objets. Nous nous intéressons particulièrement aux aspects fonctionnels. En supposant que le code qui répond à un aspect fonctionnel ou fonctionnalité exhibe une certaine cohésion fonctionnelle (dépendances entre les éléments), nous proposons d’identifier de telles fonctionnalités à partir du code. L’idée est d’identifier, en l’absence des paradigmes de la programmation par aspects, les techniques qui permettent l’implémentation des différents aspects fonctionnels dans un code objet. Notre approche consiste à : • identifier les techniques utilisées par les développeurs pour intégrer une fonctionnalité en l’absence des techniques orientées aspects • caractériser l’empreinte de ces techniques sur le code • et développer des outils pour identifier ces empreintes. Ainsi, nous présentons deux approches pour l’identification des fonctionnalités existantes dans du code orienté objets. La première identifie différents patrons de conception qui permettent l’intégration de ces fonctionnalités dans le code. La deuxième utilise l’analyse formelle de concepts pour identifier les fonctionnalités récurrentes dans le code. Nous expérimentons nos deux approches sur des systèmes libres orientés objets pour identifier les différentes fonctionnalités dans le code. Les résultats obtenus montrent l’efficacité de nos approches pour identifier les différentes fonctionnalités dans du code légataire orienté objets et permettent de suggérer des cas de refactorisation. / Object oriented applications integrate various functional aspects. These aspects can be scattered everywhere in the code. There are various types of aspects : • aspects which represent business functionalities ; • aspects related to non functional requirements or to design concerns such as robustness, distribution, and security. The code representing such aspects can be located in different class hierarchies. Researchers have been interested in the problem of the modularisation of these aspects and many approaches were proposed : oriented programming subjects, oriented programming Aspects and oriented programming view. These approaches offer techniques and tools for designing object oriented applications based on the composition of slices of various aspects. The main benefit of the separation of aspects is supporting reuse and maintenance. Consequently, it is well worth identifying and extracting aspects of legacy object oriented applications. Our work mainly focuses on functional aspects. Assuming that the code of a functional aspect or a feature has a functional cohesion (dependencies between elements), we suggest methods for identifying such features from the code. The idea is to identify, in the absence of any aspect oriented paradigm, the techniques used for implementing a feature in the code. Our approach consists of : • identifying techniques used by developers to integrate a feature in the absence of aspect oriented techniques • characterizing the patterns of these techniques • and developing tools to identify these patterns. We present two approaches for the identification of the existing features in the object oriented code. The first one identifies various design patterns which integrates these features in the code. The second approach uses the formal concept analysis to identify the recurring features in the code. We experiment our approaches to identify functional features in different open source object oriented applications. The results show the efficiency of our approaches in identifying various functional features in the legacy object oriented, and can some times suggest refactoring.

我國壽險產業在產品、獲利、通路、法令及未來發展方向等各方面的改變，造成各壽險公司必須在經營策略上有所改變。而基於資訊系統對企業影響演進的歷程與策略協同模式的觀點，當代企業，資訊技術已扮演著舉足輕重的角色，從降低成本與提升效率到企業再造與典範移轉。雖然資訊系統是協助組織面對環境改變與企業經營的基礎，也是在知識經濟下以知識為基礎的新產品與服務的基石，但是若企業的策略無法與IT的策略緊密的結合，資訊技術就無法發揮其應有的功效。 老舊系統在面對包括驟變的產業模式、驟變的商業模式、新興的資訊技術與新的資訊技術架構等多面向的衝擊，實在無法協助企業，達到敏捷性企業的境界，因此必需要考慮資訊系統的轉換。然而，老舊系統的轉換卻又是費時、耗錢且冗長的工作，同時，很多企業的系統轉換，並不是一次完成，而是靠一連串的系統改善或再造專案來完成，就更容易造成前後不一致的狀況，而無法達成預期的目標，因此，在進行資訊系統轉換之時，必須要擬定老舊系統轉換策略，才能夠整合各自獨立的專案，朝向一致的目標邁進。 / Life insurance industry of our country is in the changes of various fields such as products, profits, distribution channels, regulations and future thrusts. Lots of insurance companies have to change their strategy. As we knew information technology has been playing very important roles, for example, IT can provide critical revenue opportunities and cost savings during tough times and IT has become both an enabling element and driving force within this rapidly shifting industry, but base on the theory of business IT alignment, if IT strategy could not align with business strategy then it could not work as efficiency as we expected. The need for agility is commonplace across every industry. Could the legacy systems support this kind of change? Unfortunately, most legacy systems prevent businesses from being more adaptable to change. The only way is transforming legacy architectures into reliable, adaptable assets that contribute to ability of an enterprise to respond to continuous, fast-paces change. But transforming the legacy system is time-consuming, expensive and tediously long work, we have to set up legacy systems transformation strategy to ensue successful.

This thesis is inserted in the line of research of Training, Knowledge and Professional Development of the Post-Graduation Program in Education of UFSM. Its theme is the constitutive act of the post-graduation adviser professor, stricto sensu, and focus on the dynamic of the mentoring process seen as a form of legacy and farewell. Its objective is to deepen the comprehension of the personal and professional elaborations of these adviser professors as well as of their constitution, focusing on the integration movements, their cohesion and the consonant expressive conditions. The thesis lies on the epistemic landscape of complexity; it is grounded on interdisciplinary discussions and resorts to the interpretive phenomenological method. The subjects of the thesis are four adviser professors from the Post-Graduation Program in Education, all of them with more than 15 years of teaching experience. Through in-depth interviews, these professors are invited to relate significant experiences to their constitutive and elaborative conceptions as adviser professors and their mentoring style. The relevance of this study is in the investigative exercise that fosters the subjectivity and intersubjectivity as means of deep reflexive processes and in the look at the significance of the human and humanizing transactions, both in the formation of trainers as in the formation of knowledge. It counts with the theoretical support from psychodynamic concepts regarding the personal maturation process and with the contribution of psychology and education, in particular about the interrelation between the personal and professional dimension in the construction of the orientation process. The final reflections are organized in three main lines of analysis that unveil the dynamic under discussion upon the existential experimental optic: in the development of singular historicity; in the development of phenomena that delimitate and condition the internal and external spaces and environments and in the expressivity of the constitutive and elaborative conditions. The interpretative analysis reveals that the dimensions at issue intertwine and condition the continuity of the constitutive process of mentors and mentoring. / A presente tese está inserida na linha de pesquisa Formação, Saberes e Desenvolvimento Profissional do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da UFSM. Apresenta como tema o acontecer constitutivo do professor-orientador de pós-graduação, stricto sensu, na dinâmica do processo de orientação entendido em forma de legado e despedida. Objetiva aprofundar a compreensão da constituição e elaboração pessoal e profissional de tais professores-orientadores, focalizando os movimentos de integração e coesão dos si mesmos e as decorrentes condições expressivas. A tese situa-se no panorama epistêmico de complexidade, fundamenta-se em discussão transdisciplinar, recorre ao método fenomenológico interpretativo e traz como sujeitos quatro professores orientadores de Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação, todos com mais de 15 anos de experiência docente. Por meio de entrevista em profundidade, esses professores são convidados a narrar vivências significativas para as concepções constitutivas e elaborativas de si mesmos como professores-orientadores e seu estilo de orientação. A relevância deste estudo está no exercício investigativo que incrementa a subjetividade e a intersubjetividade como meio de processos reflexivos profundos e no olhar para a significância das transações humanas e humanizadoras, tanto na formação de formadores quanto de conhecimentos. Conta com o suporte teórico de conceitos psicodinâmicos acerca dos processos maturativos pessoais e com os aportes da psicologia e da educação, em especial sobre a inter-relação entre a dimensão pessoal e profissional na construção do processar da orientação. As reflexões finais são organizadas em três eixos de análise que desvelam a dinâmica em questão sob a ótica vivencial experiencial, no desenvolver de singular historicidade, no elaborar dos fenômenos que delimitam e condicionam os espaços e ambientes internos e externos e na expressividade das condições constitutivas e elaborativas. A análise interpretativa revela que as dimensões em questão se entrelaçam e condicionam a continuidade do processo constitutivo de orientadores e da orientação.
