At its core, the Bologna process has imposed a series of transformations, among which, the promotion of mobility, as a stimulus to interinstitutional cooperation to enable an better and bigger qualification of the students. Nevertheless, what we see is that this point is one of the main points made flawed by Brazilian institutions that have adopted this model of higher education. An example is the Bachelor of Science and Technology - BC&T, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN, where there are problems of the internal order, represented by the problem of the reusing of the disciplines, such also of external order, in cases of transfers interinstitutional. Because of this, and knowing that this is a typical problem in which multiple criteria are involved, the aim of this study is to propose a multicriteria model for selection of interciclo of the BC&T of the UFRN which addresses the issue of mobility. For this, this study was of exploratory and study case nature, use as tools of data collection, the bibliographic and documentary research, as well as semi-structured interviews. For the elaboration of the model, were used the five phases most commonly used in the modeling of problems in operational research in a sample of 91 students of BC&T. As a result, we obtained a model that addresses the issue of internal and external mobility of the school and that, moreover, was also more robust and fair than the current model of BC&T and also what is used in other courses of the UFRN, taking into consideration the expected results by the decision makers / As discuss?es em que se desenvolvem as propostas de reforma universit?ria no Brasil compreendem, dentre outros aspectos, a concep??o da universidade intitulada de Universidade Nova , cuja origem estrutural adv?m do projeto de lei da reforma da educa??o superior e dos fundamentos da unifica??o da educa??o superior europeia (processo de Bolonha). Em seu cerne, o processo de Bolonha imp?s uma s?rie de transforma??es, dentre as quais, a promo??o da mobilidade, como est?mulo ? coopera??o interinstitucional no intuito de permitir uma melhor e maior qualifica??o dos alunos. Apesar disso, o que se percebe ? que este ponto ? um dos principais aspectos deficientes apresentados pelas institui??es brasileiras que adotaram esse modelo de ensino superior. Um exemplo disto ? o Bacharelado em Ci?ncias e Tecnologia - BC&T da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN, em que existem problemas tanto de ordem interna, representada pelo problema de reaproveitamento de disciplinas, como de ordem externa, para os casos de transfer?ncias interinstitucionais. Por conta disto, e sabendo-se que este ? um t?pico problema em que est?o envolvidos m?ltiplos crit?rios, o objetivo deste estudo ? propor um modelo multicrit?rio para a sele??o interciclo do BC&T da UFRN, que contemple a quest?o da mobilidade. Para tanto, este estudo, de car?ter explorat?rio e delineado como estudo de caso, utilizou, como ferramentas de coleta de dados, as pesquisas bibliogr?fica e documental, al?m de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Para a elabora??o do modelo, foram utilizadas as cinco fases mais comumente presentes nas modelagens dos problemas de pesquisa operacional em uma amostra de 91 discentes do BC&T. Como resultados, obteve-se um modelo que contempla a quest?o da mobilidade interna e externa da escola e que, al?m disso, tamb?m se mostrou mais robusto e justo do que o modelo atual do BC&T e tamb?m do que ? utilizado nas demais gradua??es da UFRN, levando em considera??o as expectativas de resultados dos decisores

The final thesis is focused on a design of architectural study of a Faculty of fine arts on the area, which is located on a border of two Brno districts Veveří and Žabovřesky. The chosen area is determined by Šumavská Street, Bulínova Street, and Veveří Street. The design follows an already processed part of the project from the first semester in the subject TG02. It is focused on the layout of the buildings in the area and the design of architectonical study for three out of four units – the Faculty of Forensic Engineering, common premises of both faculties and underground garages. The fourth unit, which is the Faculty of Fine Arts, is designed in the second phase as the final thesis. Other units are developed together with the design of the second faculty. The architectonical concept follows the city structure in the nearest surroundings. The main idea was to create a cluster of buildings which respects a human scale, not to create a long endless facades and gigantic masses of buildings. The solution is two L-shaped buildings, which grip the building of common premises. It creates a lot of semipublic and public spaces with a great variety of various functions.

This study explores the coping strategies amongst international students who moved to a medium sized city in Sweden to study. The aim is to explore how international students cope with loneliness and their perceptions and experiences related to loneliness. The method is qualitative and inductive, with deductive properties such as the topics related to loneliness, coping, resources and technology. We conducted semi structured interviews with six participants. The theory used is a strength-based perspective focusing on the resources and coping of the participants. The results show the participants express various accounts of experienced loneliness and coping strategies. The themes found were a New university and country, Social life, Society and culture, Self-agency, and Coping strategies. International students cope with loneliness by talking to family and friends, often using ICT. Other sources of support come from within the university environment. Most of the support utilized comes from the students acting themselves.
