Miljöcertifieringssystemet BREEAM-SE har granskats och de delar som skapar ett ekonomiskt ökat värde för fastighetsägaren har lokaliserats i certifieringssystemet. Undersökningen genomfördes genom kvalitativa intervjuer där de intervjuade personerna fick utveckla sina svar om varför de ansåg att indikatorerna skapar eller inte skapar något värde. Ett betyg för högste ekonomiska värdeökningen enligt BREEAM-SE har sammanställts. Undersökningen tog enbart hänsyn till den ekonomiska värdeökningen för fastighetsägaren och avgränsade undersökning för andra yrkeskategorier. En fördjupning i de indikatorer som skapar ett ekonomiskt värde har begränsats i mån av tid vilket lett till att dels indikatorn energi, inte är helt optimerad vad gäller målpoängen som ska nås för högsta ekonomiska värdet. De delar i miljöcertifieringssystemet som skapar högst ekonomiskt värde är lägre energiförbrukning, lokalisering av byggnaden och materialvalen Dessa indikatorer sänker drift- och underhållskostnaderna mest för fastighetsägaren och därmed ökar vinstmarginalen för fastighetsägaren. Byggnadens komfort bidrar till att hyresgästen kan vara villig att betala en högre hyra och lägre byggproduktionskostnader bidrar till en lägre investeringskostnad och break-even nås i teorin tidigare för fastighetsägaren. Även själva miljöcertifieringen bidrar till ett ökat ekonomiskt värde, dels för att hyresgäster ställer högre och högre miljökrav och de nästan kräver en miljöcertifiering idag, och dels att miljöcertifieringen ”tvingar” projektgruppen att ta tag i frågor i ett tidigare skede än vad som i vanliga fall hade gjorts. Detta leder till att ändringskostnader kan undvikas och blir lägre i ett tidigt skede, än om ändringar skulle göras i ett senare skede. Betyget som nåddes vid en ekonomiskt optimerad BREEAM-SE bedömning blev VERY GOOD eftersom nådd BREEAM-poäng blev 59,55 % och alla minimikriterier uppfylldes. / The environmental certification system BREEAM-SE has been studied and the parts that create an economical increase in value seen from the property owner’s perspective, has been located in the environmental certification system. The study was done by qualitative interviews so the interviewed people were able to explicate their answers about why or why not they thought that the indicators created a value. A complete grade has been compiled regard to the economical increase in value according to BREEAM-SE. The study only considered the economical increase in value regarded to the property owner and delimitated studies for other job types. An immerse to the indicators that creates an economical increase in value has been restricted due to time which led to that partly the indicator energy, wasn’t fully optimized regarding the objective point that need to be reached for the greatest economical increase of value. Those parts in this environmental certification system that creates the greatest economical increase in value are decreasing energy consumption, localization of the building and choice of material. These indicators decreased the management- and maintenance cost the most for the property owner and therefor it increases the marginal profit for the property owner. The buildings comfort contributes to the tenants will to pay a higher rent, the lowered production cost contributes to a lower investment cost and the critical break-even point is, in theory, reached faster by the property owner. Even the environmental certification contributes to an economical increase in value, partly because the tenant request higher environmental standards and they almost demands some kind of an environmental certification, and partly because the environmental certification system ‘’forces’’ the planning group to handle certain questions in an early stage of the process which otherwise might have been left for a later occasion. This leads to that the cost of changes in the project can be avoided and becomes lower in an early stage of the project, then it would be if the changes were met later in the process. The grade that was reached regarding to an optimized economical BREEAM-SE evaluation was VERY GOOD because the obtained BREEAM-points was 59,55 %, and all of the minimum criteria’s were executed.

A Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the degree Master of Technology in Information Technology In the FACULTY OF INFORMATICS AND DESIGN at the CAPE PENINSULA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNONLOGY / With the software sector being central to economic growth, it was important for the study to analyse the adequacy of skills in the sector. The provincial government of the Western Cape, the industry and tertiary institutions are collaboratively developing relevant Software Engineering (SE) skills. However, it was unclear whether the joint efforts are achieving the intended outcomes. The risk with uncertainty is that emphases may be placed on aspects that do not accurately address the objective of the initiative. Other SE skills shortage risks may include: failure by the region to improve productivity, innovations, exports, and the risk of failing to reduce high unemployment. It is important therefore, that the efforts to address SE skills shortage in the Western Cape succeed. This research made extensive use of relevant literature. Interviews were conducted with employers from chosen companies in Cape Town, South Africa, with an HR representative, HOD from the faculty of Computer Science from Universities and with SE interns. Within the interpretive epistemology, a qualitative inductive methodology was applied. In this respect, a non-probability purposive sampling was used to approach only members of the population ready and willing to give the required data. Despite internship programs being in full operation, findings highlighted the SE technical skills in short supply in the Western Cape and these include Java, dot Net and database skills. The high shortage of SE skilled personnel is pointed out to be a result of few SE graduates from SE tertiary institutions which is blamed on few Universities enrolments. Furthermore, Universities indicated poor mathematics pass rates at matric level as the main reason for having low SE enrolment levels since mathematics is a prerequisite to the SE course. Adding on to that, findings confirm that high SE skills shortage are a result of the imbalances of theoretical and practical aspect of SE courses at Universities. The main reason for the imbalances is that there is no communication between SE industry and Universities. It would be beneficial if companies were consulted by universities when syllabi are prepared. This way, affected parties could forge a common ground to close the skills gap. It may also help tertiary institutions to review and change their syllabus at the right time, in order to focus on what are current imperatives in the SE industry. Findings also reflect that the main reason for SE internships is the need to build up the SE technical skills of interns through work related learning in the SE industry. These internships have been successful in alleviating the problem but not high enough to solve the SE skills shortage in the province. This implies these Internship programs could positively contribute to the alleviation of SE skills shortage in Cape Town if more is done to improve the programs. A greater focus on enhancing such programs would provide benefits in the SE field. Consultative collaborations between the tertiary sector and the industry on curricula matters are recommended. Thus, a need for a more solid relationship between SE tertiary institutions and the SE field of operation needs further investigation. Students on the other hand need to be proactive by collaborating with other relevant SE related affiliations for knowledge sharing seminars especially on the current technologies in use in the SE industry.

Para a construção do texto foram realizadas pesquisas em três fontes distintas: jornais, processos penais e entrevistas. A análise do material está pautada teoricamente nos estudos sobre sexualidades considerando a importância de compreender os discursos como construídos historicamente tendo como referência as construções culturais de gênero, sexo e sexualidades. O estudo evidenciou questões importantes sobre o então contexto local citadino apontando para aspectos como: a presença do movimento homossexual que exerceu forte influência na formulação de políticas públicas em Sergipe, além de agentes ligados a saúde e segurança pública que foram importantes na consolidação de direitos às pessoas LGBTTT's, por outro lado, evidenciou aspectos relacionados à homofobia familiar que atinge jovens homossexuais ao analisar dois processos penais que tratam de relações afetivo-sexuais homoeróticas envolvendo jovens menores de 14 anos, cujas famílias não aceitavam seus relacionamentos e por isso acionaram o Sistema de Justiça Criminal buscando criminalizar a relação. A tese aponta para o fato de que nos anos 90, Aracaju estava passando por um processo de modernização intenso, mas que dialogava diretamente com os valores de uma sociedade tradicional. / This thesis is embedded in the interdisciplinary field of study and its main objective is to analyze how they articulate the discourses that express sex crimes, homosexuality, family homophobia and justice in the city of Aracaju in the 1990s. For the construction of the text three different sources were searched: newspapers conveyed the timeframe indicated, criminal proceedings and interviews. The analysis in this material is theoretically based on studies of sexuality considering the importance of understanding discourses as historically constructed with reference to cultural constructions of gender, sex and sexualities. The study revealed important issues about the local context pointing to aspects such as: the presence of the homosexual movement that strongly influenced the formulation of public policies in Sergipe, and agents related to public health and safety that were important in the consolidation of rights to LGBTTT people, on the other hand, it showed aspects related to family homophobia that affects young homosexuals when analyzing two criminal process dealing with sexual-affective homoerotic relations involving young teenagers under 14, whose families did not accept their relationships and therefore triggered the Criminal Justice System seeking to criminalize the relationship. The study points to the fact that during the 90's, Aracaju was going through an intense modernizing process, although keeping traditional social values.

The main goal and intended contribution of the presented doctoral dissertation is to define the most important principles for the usage of the Dynamic Balanced Scorecard (DBSC) as a practical guide for learning organization. The Dynamic Balanced Scorecard is based on the fundamental idea that the conventional (static) Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is not able to encompass the contemporary dynamic environment and hence is not an appropriate tool for any strategic management system. At the beginning of the dissertation, the thesis is dedicated to description of the BSC limitations. Moving further, the thesis establishes a practical guide described in three stages: ? the main principles of DBSC, ? the methodology of implementing DBSC, ? the working model. The model was developed in a real company and is now being used in pilot operation. Furthermore the model contains measurements that help demonstrate the transformation from a traditional organization to a learning organization. I did not find, based on questionnaires collected from 110 companies and my experience in a consulting company, any examples of DBSC being currently used in the Czech Republic. The original hypothesis about non-use of any dynamic model for strategic management system was confirmed in the empirical part of the dissertation.

Dissertação (Mestrado em Engenharia Mecânica) - Centro Universitário FEI, São Bernardo do Campo, 2016.

Studien undersöker om elever som tränar mycket i skolan och på sin fritid presterar bättre betygsmässigt på gymnasiet än de elever som inte är lika aktiva. Kan dessa olikheter mellan de elever som tränar mycket och en kontrollgrupp skilja sig åt i avseende på LOT, PANAS, SE och HAD. Hypotesen som testas är: Träning korrelerar positivt med bra betyg. För att utreda om hypotesen stämmer har elever på gymnasiet fått fylla i en enkät. Enkäten innehåller dels flera psykologiska test, PANAS, LOT, SE och HAD, men även ett formulär där deras betyg ska skrivas in. Resultatet för studien visar att hypotesen stämmer. Det är signifikant att elever som tränar mycket får högre betyg än de som inte tränar. Förutom betygen visar resultatet även att de idrottande eleverna mår bättre, de hade mindre grad av depression, ångest, ilska, skuld, nervositet och stress än eleverna i kontrollgruppen.  De hade även högre energi, högre grad av optimism, entusiasm och koncentration än kontrollgruppen.  Slutsatsen för denna studie blir alltså att träning korrelerar positivt med bra betyg och bättre upplevd hälsa.
