The sample consisted of 32 subjects divided into 2 groups: the GP was formed by 16 professional soccer players with a mean age of 29.63 (SD = 5.46) years and GA was formed by 16 amateur soccer players, without experience in professional football, with a mean age of 24.28 (SD = 4.87) years. We analyzed two variables: the CTD, by testing the Bag (1999) and the factors that contributed to developing the CTD through a questionnaire. We used SPSS 12. The test results of CTD were compared using the Wilcoxon test for unpaired samples and the results of the questionnaire was used descriptive statistics showing the frequency and percentage that were cited factors relevant to the acquisition of the CTD. The results showed that the levels of CTD of professional athletes had to be superior in relation to amateur athletes (p = 0.006). The reasons for this difference may be related to the factors mentioned in the study as relevant to the acquisition of the CTD. The main findings were "Tactical Training", "Experience in Competition" and "Image Base", "Technical Training" and "games and playing in the streets," suggesting that these factors have great contribution to the development of players as respect to decision-making demonstrated in test CTD. / O presente estudo objetivou comparar o nível de conhecimento tático declarativo (CTD) de jogadores de futebol profissionais e amadores, assim como descrever fatores que possam contribuir para o desenvolvimento do CTD. A amostra foi constituída por 32 sujeitos divididos em 2 grupos: o GP foi formado por 16 atletas de futebol profissional com média de idade de 29,63 (DP = 5,46) anos e GA foi formado por 16 atletas de futebol amador, sem experiência em futebol profissional, com média de idade de 24,28 (DP = 4,87) anos. Foram analisadas duas variáveis:o CTD, através do teste de Mangas (1999) e os fatores que contribuíram para desenvolver o CTD, através de um questionário. Foi utilizado o software SPSS 12.Os resultados do teste de CTD foram comparados através do teste de Wilcoxon para dados não pareados e para os resultados do questionário foi utilizada estatística descritiva, demonstrando a freqüência e percentual com que eram citados os fatores relevantes para a aquisição do CTD. Os resultados mostraram que os níveis de CTD dos atletas profissionais apresentaram-se superiores em relação aos atletas amadores (p=0,006). Os motivos dessa diferença podem estar a associados a fatores apontados no estudo como relevantes para a aquisição do CTD. Os principais aspectos encontrados foram Treinamento Tático , Experiência em Competição e Categoria de , Treinamentos técnicos e Jogos e brincadeiras de rua , sugerindo que esses fatores possuem grande contribuição para o desenvolvimento dos atletas no que diz respeito à tomada de decisão demonstrada no teste de CTD.

Cette thèse est une contribution à la modélisation, la planification et l’optimisation du transport pour l’approvisionnement en bois de forêt des industries de première transformation. Dans ce domaine, les aléas climatiques (mise au sol des bois par les tempêtes), sanitaires (attaques bactériologiques et fongiques des bois) et commerciaux (variabilité et exigence croissante des marchés) poussent les divers acteurs du secteur (entrepreneurs et exploitants forestiers, transporteurs) à revoir l’organisation de la filière logistique d’approvisionnement, afin d’améliorer la qualité de service (adéquation offre-demande) et de diminuer les coûts.L’objectif principal de cette thèse était de proposer un modèle de pilotage améliorant la performance du transport forestier, en respectant les contraintes et les pratiques du secteur.Les résultats établissent une démarche de planification hiérarchique des activités de transport à deux niveaux de décision, tactique et opérationnel. Au niveau tactique, une optimisation multi-périodes permet de répondre aux commandes en minimisant l’activité globale de transport, sous contrainte de capacité agrégée des moyens de transport accessibles. Ce niveau permet de mettre en oeuvre des politiques de lissage de charge et d’organisation de sous-traitance ou de partenariats entre acteurs de transport. Au niveau opérationnel, les plans tactiques alloués à chaque transporteur sont désagrégés, pour permettre une optimisation des tournées des flottes, sous contrainte des capacités physiques de ces flottes.Les modèles d’optimisation de chaque niveau sont formalisés en programmation linéaire mixte avec variables binaires. L’applicabilité des modèles a été testée en utilisant un jeu de données industrielles en région Aquitaine et a montré des améliorations significatives d’exploitation des capacités de transport par rapport aux pratiques actuelles.Les modèles de décision ont été conçus pour s’adapter à tout contexte organisationnel, partenarial ou non : la production du plan tactique possède un caractère générique sans présomption de l’organisation, celle-ci étant prise en compte, dans un deuxième temps, au niveau de l’optimisation opérationnelle du plan de transport de chaque acteur. / The present manuscript tackles the supply chain forest transportation problem in the context of forestry primary industry. In this context, several risks may affect the forest supply chain: the unpredictable weather conditions (tree falling provoked by major storms); sanitary emergencies (tree pest and diseases); and, diverse commercial circumstances (the variability of market demands). The aforementioned issues motivate the diverse forest sector protagonists (entrepreneurs, forest operators and drivers) to seek support for improving their logistic operations. The aim of this effort is to improve the service quality (offer-demand agreement) diminishing in this way the total costs. Therefore, the main goal of this thesis is the proposal of a novel management model which improves forest-to-mill transport performance. At the same time, the proposed model accounts for the forest sector manners and constraints. The contribution of this thesis is threefold: first a transportation model is developed, later on the transport planning is managed, and finally an optimization procedure is proposed.The thesis results propose a hierarchical planning for the forestry transportation. Two decision levels are suggested: tactic and operational. At a tactic level, a multi-period optimization is considered. The multi-period optimization strategy meets the customer supply demands while minimizes the global transportation activity. Such strategy takes into account the restrictions of the total available transportation means. Moreover, at this level the activity balancing politics may be developed, as well as subcontractors coordination between transport companies. On the other hand, at the operational level, the tactic planning assigned for each transporter is divided so an optimization of the fleet’s transport assignation is done considering the vehicles constraints.The decision process is modelled as a Mixed Linear Programming formulation. The application considers a data set coming from the industry settled at the Aquitaine region in France. The results have shown a significant improvement on the transport capabilities with respect to the conventional transport practices.It is worth to mention that the decision models were designed such that they may be adapted to different context either collaborative or not. In both cases, the tactic planning has a generic purpose, in other words, it is independent of the kind of organization involved, whereas specific organizations are taken into account when planning actors’ activities at the operational level.

The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the adoption of a simple trend-following quantitative method improves the risk-adjusted returns across various asset classes within a South African market setting. A simple moving average timing model is tested since 1925 on the South African equity and bond markets and within a tactical asset allocation framework. The timing solution when applied to the JSE All Share Index, RSA Government Bond Index and within an equally weighted portfolio improved returns, while reducing risk. Testing the model within sample by decade highlighted periods of inferior return performance providing evidence to support prior research (Faber, 2007) that the timing model acts as a risk reduction technique with limited to no impact on return. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / unrestricted

Nosso objetivo no presente estudo, foi investigar por videogrametria, a possibilidade induzir estímulos específicos diferentes por meio da execução de dois jogos reduzidos conceituais com princípios táticos operacionais diferentes (1 - manutenção da posse de bola e 2 - progressão ao alvo). Participaram do estudo 24 atletas separados em duas equipes, que se enfrentaram no jogo 1 e no jogo 2. Ambos os jogos tiveram duração de 30 min e as equipes foram formadas por 6 jogadores mais o goleiro. Os dados comprovaram que os princípios organizadores dos JRC criam situações distintas com graus de dificuldade diferentes. Bem como provocam estímulos fisiológicos distintos. Ou seja, é possível sistematizar o treinamento dos componentes técnicos e táticos de forma controlada e inserida no contexto do jogo de forma a provocar adaptações fisiológicas predeterminadas. Nossos dados credenciam os JRC para o aprendizado de situações técnico táticas que, aliadas ao condicionamento físico adequado podem contribuir para produzir um jogador treinado para aproximar cada vez mais pensamentos e ações em situações diversificadas / Abstract: The use of conceptual small-sided games (CSSG) may be an interesting training methodology to train soccer different components of the performance of footballers respecting the complexity inherent in the game. Unpredictability inherent in the game of soccer and develop the soccer necessary physical abilities. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility videogrammetry by specific stimuli induce different by running two games with reduced conceptual tactical principles different operating (1 - maintaining possession and 2 - progression to the target). The study included 24 athletes divided into two teams that faced off in Game 1 and Game 2. Both games lasted 30 min and the teams were comprised of 6 players goalkeeper. The data showed that the organizing principles of the JRC create different situations with different levels of difficulty. As well as cause physiological stimuli distinct. Ie, it is possible to systematize the training of technical and tactical components in a controlled manner and within the context of the game in order to cause physiological adaptations predetermined. Our data accredit JRC for learning situations technical tactics, coupled with the adequate physical conditioning can contribute to producing a player trained to approach increasingly thoughts and actions in different situations / Mestrado / Biodinâmica do Movimento Humano e Esporte / Mestre em Ciências da Nutrição e do Esporte e Metabolismo

When describing sexual violence as a ’weapon of war’ or as systematic in the setting of a conflict, many times there is no distinction between how it is used during different types of conflicts. Moreover, they are often discussed as either a crime against the ”enemy” or a crime against women. This research seeks to describe sexual violence during the genocides of Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia and to find whether there is an underlying genocidal intent. It also aims to emphasize the intersectional nature of such crimes — the targeting of a woman on the basis of both gender and group belonging. With the use of books, journal and research articles, reports and interview transcripts — this paper is based on a qualitative research method aiming to describe the underlying intent of the strategic use of sexual violence targeting women in genocide. It is the interpretation of the gathered material and theories which enables the discussion to take form. The genocidal intent behind rapes and sexual violence is not only to use women as reproductive vessels, prevent births within a group and inflict such injuries that would make a woman suffer and become less worthy in her community — but also to humiliate a group through sexual violence in a way that fragments it into elimination. By acknowledging the heightened effect sexual violence and its genocidal intent has on the intersection of group belonging and gender, women’s suffering is not overshadowed by the atrocity of genocide. Women are often discriminated against on either the basis of ethnicity or gender; however, when one emphasizes both elements as reasons for women being targets of genocidal sexual violence, perhaps the crimes could be properly dealt with and responded to by the international community. The research concludes that the systematic use of forced impregnation, mutilation, sexual humiliation and targeting of female identity carries a genocidal intent — resulting in the fragmentation of cultures and communities and furthers female subordination. The crime of genocidal sexual violence is a crime against the individual woman and the group of which she belongs.

In addition, the cost calculated for the whole project as well as for each WBS and activities which consider as alternative one and in the second alternative, cost mitigation applied according to available resources and adjusting predecessors and successors of each activity. In conclusion, two alternatives compared, available outcome presents, and future work suggested for the project team to continue this effort.

The tactical methods of overcoming the false testimony Abstract The objective of this thesis is to describe and analyse the false testimony at interrogation, its recognition and follow-up overcoming by means of tactical interrogation methods and other techniques. In the introductory part of the thesis, the elemental concepts such as the phenomenon of lie, interrogation and testimony are defined in order to gain some insight, without which it would not be well possible to dedicate to the research of detection of lie and its overcoming. The following part deals with the lie detection in crime investigation in particular, it highlights the importance of correct identification of false testimony and it pursues the lie from perspective of the recipient of lie, whose interest is to reveal the lie. The particularities in this area regarding children are outlined as well. The subsequent part is focused on the false testimony and its detection based on the verbal, nonverbal and paraverbal tokens in conduct of concerned person. I have attempted to capture the differences between intentional communicating of untruthful information, thus lying, and unintentional communicationg of untruthful information caused by natural process of forgetting. In the following part, the overview of tactical interrogation methods applied...

The number of reported cybercrimes in Sweden is increasing every year. Cybercrimes arebecoming more sophisticated and the attackers are more skilled than before. Attackers usedifferent tactics, techniques and procedures, TTP, to establish their goals. These TTP can beidentified and later used to combat future cyberattacks. This process is known as TacticalThreat Intelligence, TTI, and is characterized by the use of open source intelligence, OSINT, to gather information about previous attacks and TTP. This paper is a literature review toprovide a background of the topic. To further investigate the topic this paper also presents theanalyzis of three different threat intelligence sharing platforms to deepen the understanding ofhow TTI is used today. A statistical analysis is also presented in order to predict future ofcyberthreats. The results of the analysis of the threat intelligence sharing platforms clearly displays theneed to search for information in more than one source. This information will become thefoundation of intelligence, which makes information gathering one of the most importantsteps when working with TTI. The results of the statistical analysis show that cybercrime inSweden will continue to rise. One of the biggest challenges was to identify the current stateof the global cyberthreat landscape since global statistics for cybercrime could not be found.However, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced more people to work from home which hasincreased the number of potential cybercrime victims since home security tends to be lowerthan at a physical offic. Despite this, the number of reported cybercrimes has not increasedremarkably.

Privatization of the public realm is rampant in modern cities. Public space accessibility and usage is often determined by inhabitants’ socio-economic background in the mega cities of the developing world as well. The case of Chennai, a city of 9 million people drawn from different regions in India, is used in this project to understand this phenomenon and evolve an alternate approach to urban public space design and use, in which citizen-led initiatives are encouraged, instead of being ignored, by mainstream urban planning and design processes. Chennai is one of the fastest growing cities in the world today. Conventional planning has failed to direct this growth towards creating sustainable urban environments for all, and has instead encouraged lopsided development that caters only to the affluent sections. This trend has affected public spaces as well, which are now centered on consumption and dependant on heavy investment in real estate and technology. This has a considerable impact on the spectrum of socio-economic groups that are able to access and use them. The project questions the prevalent situation, and focuses on three aspects that have been ignored in recent times. The first (Everyday Urbanism) is explored as a method to revitalize the second (Public Spaces), in order to achieve the third (Sustainable Lifestyles) as a long term goal. This is done using analysis and design in parallel, and results in a proposal for a new design process and through it, scale specific design solutions for Chennai’s public spaces that will create a high quality of life for inhabitants of the heavily populated, demographically diverse and socio-economically fragmented city.
