The aim of this thesis is to reach further understanding of the development of environmental adaptation in Swedish heavy industry by studying the case of the Rönnskär Smelter 1960-2000. More specifically, the aim of the thesis is to investigate the interplay between firm level environmental adaptation and national environmental politics and economic development. To fulfil this aim, the following questions are asked: How have company activities such as production processes, organisation and company strategies been developed and adopted in order to meet environmental demands with maintained competitiveness? How have company activities been framed by environmental policies and the specific environmental regulations, relevant for this case? What other factors, beside environmental regulations, have driven and framed the environmental adaptation process of the firm? The study concludes that a long-range competitive environmental adaptation was reached by a combination of investments in environmental technology with an overall rationalisation and modernisation of the enterprise. The study suggests that the environmental adaptation process of the Rönnskär Smelter became part of an overall process of industrial modernisation during the period, which reflects a wider context than the environmental issue itself. It mirrors technological development on other fields than the environment, and an increasing competition on a global scale that called for lower unit costs of production. This led to a modernisation for pollution reduction strategy that enabled the firm to increase production but still cutting its pollution levels considerably over time. The result is partly consistent with the Porter hypothesis that suggests that strict environmental regulation can strengthen firms’ and nations’ competitiveness. Time series data shows that emissions from the Rönnskär factory have radically declined since the 1960s. For these changes, process technology has proven to be most important. Technological adjustments came about through a step-by-step adaptation. It is clear that internal solutions, developed by the companies’ own engineers were more important at an early stage, when the supply of external solutions was limited. The study also concludes that environmental regulation has strongly influenced the environmental adaptation at the Rönnskär Smelter. Of most importance is the Environmental Protection Act (EPA: Miljöskyddslagen) implemented in 1969. In the economic historian Nathan Rosenberg’s terminology, this study suggests that the EPA model of individual testing promoted long-term innovative and cost-effective technical solutions, because it was consistent with decentralised experimental activity and the specific conditions that characterise the dynamics of technological development. However, not much can be said before comparative studies within the Swedish system have been conducted, or perhaps most fruitful, between various national systems of environmental protection. This study also concludes that the environmental issue became of strategic dignity at the very beginning of the 1970s, mainly as a consequence of the implementation of the EPA. Even though environmental issues did not become important for market strategies until the 1990s, the environmental issue called already in the 1970s for adjustments that required financial and personnel resources that demanded priorities and strategic decisions at the highest level of the organisation. The study also concludes that even though the technological dimension has played the most decisive role for lowering emissions, the significance of organisation has increased over time. While the 1960s, and especially the 1970s, brought about substantial pollution reductions through new technology, organisational aspects became relatively more important when the costs of abatement were rising in the 1980s. Organisational co-ordination, division of local responsibilities and education of personnel became a supplement to technology to obtain further pollution reductions. The technician as the “environmental hero” of the firm was successively replaced by the organisational co-ordinator.

In order to check how it is organized the working process of the nurse in caring for these children in USFs as well as the difficulties found in the dynamics of this work, this research aimed to analyze the work processes of nurses in care Child Health in USFs, with emphasis on technologies used in producing care. This is a research exploratory and descriptive with qualitative approach, based on the theoretical reference in about Work Process and Composition Technique of Work. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews of 11 nurses who, at the moment, perform their functions for more than 01 year at USF. The guiding questions were based at theoretical reference. To analyze the results, was used the referential of content analysis, and was refer to thematic analysis. In situations that were involved closed questions of the interview, was used the aid of SPSS 15.0 program for Windows. The results indicated that the process of nurse work in health care of children, focuses on the preventive character, whose focus of the actions are healthy children, following the routines and protocols established by the Ministry of Health with a view to maintaining health them. When analyzing the data through theoretical references of Composition Technique of Work found that the core technologies of daily tasks of the nurse are directed for the use of technology soft-hard and hard, and the reason established between the Dead Working and Alive Working, there is prevalence of the first against the second in the production of this care. These situations contribute to the explanation of the emergence problems related to adhesion of mothers / caregivers to monitoring the CD, due to character prescriptive and normalizer of actions. The results also suggested the presence of "vanishing lines" in the make of nurses, confirming the self-governance of health professionals in daily work. These "vanishing lines" express the own execution of the Work Live in action, guided by the use of soft technologies, however, was not characterized as a process of technology transition. So, to get a better resolution to the problems related to child health, the nurse has reorganize your work process by focusing on the execution of work live in action. / Com a trajet?ria que os problemas relacionados ? sa?de da crian?a est?o tomando em nossa sociedade, principalmente no que se refere ? morbimortalidade infantil, al?m do processo de descentraliza??o da sa?de e a implementa??o da Estrat?gia de Sa?de da Fam?lia nos munic?pios, em que tem aumentado consideravelmente a atua??o dos trabalhadores de enfermagem na Aten??o B?sica ?

La France, comme d’autres pays, cherche à valoriser son excellence scientifique et à augmenter la compétitivité de ses petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) pour tirer plein profit de l’innovation et soutenir la croissance économique et l’emploi. Il n’y a pas, ni en France ni ailleurs, une politique spécifique de soutien à l’innovation dans les PME mais des politiques scientifiques et de la recherche industrielle, en particulier en faveur des petites entreprises, et des politiques d’innovation, dans lesquelles peuvent être identifiées des mesures spécifiques visant à promouvoir le développement technologique et l’innovation dans les PME. Cette étude s’intéresse à la façon dont en France, à travers les différentes époques, ces politiques publiques sont définies et organisées et s’interroge sur l’efficacité et l’impact des interventions publiques dans le développement de capacité d’innovation des PME françaises. Elle se déroule en trois parties, en respectant une chronologie historique correspondant aux grandes étapes de l’évolution des politiques depuis les années 1960-1970 jusqu’à présent. Ces trois parties analytiques sont enrichies par l’analyse du cas de l’Agence nationale de valorisation de la recherche (Anvar). A la fin de ce travail, nous suggérons que la France entre dans une phase critique où des réformes structurelles doivent être menées pour assurer le développement de la compétitivité des PME et de l’innovation. / France, like other countries, seeks to promote its scientific excellence and to increase the competitiveness of its small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by taking full advantage of innovation to sustain economic growth and employment. In France as in other countries, there is no specific policy to support innovation in SMEs but both science and industrial research policies, especially for small businesses, and innovation policies, in which can be identified specific measures to promote technological development and innovation in SMEs. This study focuses on "how", in France, such public policies are defined and organized through different periods and it questions the effectiveness and impact of public interventions aimed at developing French SMEs’ innovation capacity. The study is divided in three parts, following a historical chronology corresponding to major stages of political evolution from the years 1960-1970 till now. These three analytical parts are enriched by a case analysis of the French National Agency for Valorisation of the Research (Anvar). At the end of this study, we suggest that France is now entering a critical phase in which structural reforms have to be undertaken in order to ensure French SMEs’ innovation and competitiveness.

The research begins examining the issue of globalization and linkages with technological innovation; then looks at some theories of development in the context of science and technology, analyzes the construction of public policies in the areas of industrial development and science, technology and innovation; and appealing for sectorial industrial policies going to discuss the Manaus Free Zone project, its historic elements, constitutional foundations, elements of management, weaknesses and changes caused by the successive alterations in the regulatory framework. Over the course of implementation of industrial policy also highlights the obstacles, achievements and failures of the Informatics National Policy, bringing to the place its importance as a precursor to the implementation of the Science, Technology and Innovation Public Policy. In the context of application of the research, the work emphasizes the latent need of integration between the local industrial development public policies and the science technology and innovation public policies, especially when considered its linkages with the demands of the Manaus Industrial Pole where there are tax incentives from both policies. Finally, it s evidenced that the legal framework has potential to boost scientific and technological development of the Manaus Industrial Pole combined with the structuring of a systemic planning, not yet implemented. / A presente dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo principal verificar se o marco regulatório da inovação científica e tecnológica em vigor no país teria potencial para gerar desenvolvimento científico-tecnológico efetivo para a região amazônica, com preservação adequada do meio ambiente e gerando a sustentabilidade socioeconômica do Polo Industrial de Manaus. A pesquisa parte da análise do tema da globalização situando suas vinculações com a inovação tecnológica; em seguida, analisa algumas teorias desenvolvimentistas no âmbito da ciência e da tecnologia; destaca a construção de políticas públicas nas áreas de desenvolvimento industrial e ciência, tecnologia e inovação; e envereda pelas políticas industriais setoriais passando a discutir o projeto da Zona Franca de Manaus, seus elementos históricos, fundamentos constitucionais, elementos de gestão, fragilidades e mudanças provocadas pelas sucessivas alterações no marco regulatório. Ao longo da trajetória de implantação da Política Industrial setorial, merecem destaque no trabalho os obstáculos, conquistas e fracassos da Política Nacional de Informática, evidenciando sua importância como precursora para a implantação da Política Pública de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação. No contexto de aplicação da pesquisa, o trabalho enfatiza a necessidade latente de integração entre as políticas públicas de desenvolvimento industrial local e as políticas de ciência, tecnologia e inovação, principalmente quando analisadas à luz das demandas do Polo Industrial de Manaus, com incentivos fiscais oriundos de ambas as políticas. Por fim, é evidenciado o potencial do marco legal para impulsionar o desenvolvimento científico-tecnológico do Polo, aliado à estruturação de um planejamento sistêmico, ainda não realizado.

A invenção da energia elétrica pode ser considerada como um dos eventos mais marcantes da história moderna. As fortes influências sociais e econômicas que o sistema elétrico exerce sobre a sociedade, atreladas a suas características próprias, fazem com que o sistema elétrico enfrente desafios que extrapolam sua própria dinâmica. Essa característica faz com que o Estado assuma uma grande responsabilidade pela gestão e planejamento dos sistemas elétricos, o que envolve questões de natureza não meramente econômicas que impulsionam e dão forma à dinâmica dos sistemas atualmente existentes, tanto no Brasil quanto no mundo. Dentre tais ações de intervenção do Estado, que alteram as condições de competitividade do sistema e toda sua dinâmica, estão políticas tecnológicas para induzir a inovação no setor. No Brasil, a lei 9.991/2000 que institui a obrigatoriedade de investimento de parte da receita operacional líquida (ROL) das empresas do setor em Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento (P&D), representa a política tecnológica específica para abordar tal questão. Tal lei visa induzir o desenvolvimento tecnológico no sistema para contribuir com o aumento de sua eficiência e na decorrente modicidade tarifária. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a eficácia da política tecnológica aplicada ao sistema elétrico brasileiro em induzir a dinâmica do desenvolvimento tecnológico no setor. Tal investigação foi feita com base na teoria evolucionária do desenvolvimento tecnológico, através de estudos de caso para se testar a hipótese desenvolvida de que somente a obrigatoriedade de investimento em projetos de P&D não tem sido suficiente para induzir a dinâmica do desenvolvimento tecnológico no sistema elétrico brasileiro. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que a se confirma. É possível argumentar que a proposição apresentada, de que tal hipótese se relaciona ao baixo comprometimento das empresas com o tema, que não são induzidas a assumirem um comportamento condizente com a dinâmica de inovação no setor, dadas suas percepções de oportunidades e suas condições de apropriabilidade, é uma importante variável explicativa para a avaliação da política tecnológica no setor. / The invention of electricity can be considered as one of the most important events in modern history. The strong social and economic influences that the electrical system has on society, linked to its own characteristics, make the electrical system faces challenges that go beyond its own dynamics. This feature makes the state to assume a great responsibility for the management and planning of electrical systems, which involve issues not merely economic in nature that drive and shape the dynamics of systems currently exist, both in Brazil and worldwide. Among such actions of state intervention, which alter the competitive conditions of the system and all its dynamics, are policies to induce technological innovation in the industry. In Brazil, the law 9.991/2000 establishing the mandatory investment of part of the net operating income (NOI) of companies in the industry in research and development (R & D) represents the specific technology policy to address this issue. This law aims to lead the technological development in the system to contribute to the increase of its efficiency and the resulting low tariffs. This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of technology policy applied to the Brazilian electric system to induce the dynamics of technological development in the sector. This research was based on the evolutionary theory of technological development, through case studies to test the hypothesis developed that only the obligation of investment projects in R & D has not been sufficient to induce the dynamics of technological development in the Brazilian electric system. The results show that the hypothesis is confirmed. It can be argued that the proposition presented, that this hypothesis relates to the low commitment of the companies with the theme, which are not induced to take a behavior consistent with the dynamics of innovation in the industry, given their perceptions of their opportunities and appropriability conditions, is an important explanatory variable for the evaluation of technology policy in the sector.

A atual Política de Saúde Mental tem como eixo estruturador a construção de redes municipais de serviços. Esta construção requer, além do estabelecimento de normas e da definição de recursos a serem empregados em sua implantação e manutenção, a definição de novas estratégias de cuidado adequadas aos princípios e diretrizes propostas pela política. Neste contexto ganha destaque a forma como os serviços se organizam para desenvolver novas tecnologias de cuidado que consigam materializar as transformações propostas pelo novo modelo. Esta construção requer um olhar atento para a singularidade dos sujeitos e deve considerar que a construção de projetos terapêuticos respeite esta diretriz fundamental, já que trata-se de uma ferramenta central para o desenvolvimento da atenção que busca superar o modelo asilar. A pesquisa buscou conhecer e comparar as proposições teóricas sobre a construção de projetos terapêuticos apresentados pela bibliografia com as concepções utilizadas pelos profissionais que atuam no contexto dos serviços de saúde mental. Configura-se como uma investigação qualitativa nos métodos e formas de encaminhamento e de inspiração etnometodológica na medida em que foi dada ênfase para a experiência vivida como campo para o processo de reflexão. Utilizou-se os procedimentos metodológicos de revisão bibliográfica e entrevistas semi-estruturadas, desenvolvidas no período de setembro a novembro de 2009, com profissionais (Assistentes Sociais, Enfermeiros, Médicos Psiquiatra, Psicólogos e Terapeutas Ocupacionais) inseridos em Centros de Atenção Psicossocial CAPS - II e III do Estado de São Paulo. De acordo com os dados coletados, as concepções apresentadas pelos profissionais se aproximam àquelas propostas pelos autores que discorrem sobre o tema. Os discursos mostram aspectos relacionados à: necessidade de transformação do modelo tradicional; o investimento no protagonismo do usuário; a importância do trabalho em equipe para que as necessidades de saúde possam ser compreendidas; e a importância das parcerias institucionais e com a rede de suporte social para que o princípio da integralidade seja de fato contemplado na construção de práticas de cuidado. Contudo, ao relatarem situações práticas vivenciadas no cotidiano de trabalho apresentaram contradições presentes no processo em curso: dificuldades para construção de um trabalho homogêneo nas equipes; o impacto direto na assistência das distintas formas de gestão; a dificuldade da interlocução tanto com as redes institucionais quanto com as redes de suporte social dos usuários; e por fim, a enorme dificuldade em inserir os usuários como participantes efetivos na construção de práticas de cuidado. De maneira geral, os resultados desta pesquisa apontam para a necessidade urgente da reflexão sobre as práticas que têm sido implementadas nos CAPS. É fundamental que o modelo assistencial desenvolva práticas que tenham foco na vida do sujeito, em suas vulnerabilidades habitacionais, econômicas, afetivas, culturais, familiares e de rede social / The current policy of Mental Health has, as an structural axis, the construction of municipal service networks. This construction requires, beyond the establishment of rules, and the definition of resources to be used on its implementation and maintenance, the definition of new care strategies that are adequate to the principles and directions proposed by the policy. On this context, what is highlighted is the way the services are organized to develop new care technologies that are able to materialize the transformations proposed by the new model. This construction requires a careful look at the uniqueness of subjects and should consider that the construction of therapeutic projects respect this fundamental direction, once it is a central tool for the development of attention that aims at overcoming the asylum model. The research aimed at knowing and comparing the theoretical propositions about the construction of therapeutic projects presented by the literature, with the conceptions used by professionals active in mental health services. It is a qualitative investigation of the method and routing forms, with an ethnomethodologic inspiration, since the experience lived wad emphasized on the afterthought process. As methodology a bibliographic review was conducted, as well as semi-structured interviews, applied during the September through November 2009 period, with professionals (Social Workers, Nurses, Psychiatrists, Psychologists and Occupational Therapists) inserted on Centros de Atenção Psicossocial CAPS - II e III on the state of Sao Paulo. According to the data collected, the conceptions presented by the professionals are closer to the ones presented by the authors covering these themes. The speeches show aspects related to: the need for transforming the traditional model; the investment on the leading role of the user; the importance of teamwork so that the health needs can be understood; and the importance of institutional partnership with the social support network so that the integrality principle is, in fact, contemplated on the care practices. Nevertheless, when practical situations lived on their day-to-day work were reported, several contradictions were presented as existing on current process: difficulties to construct an homogeneous work on the teams; the direct impact on the assistance to the distinct management forms; the difficulties on interlocution with the institutional networks and the users social support networks, and, at last, a huge difficulty of inserting the users as effective participants on the construction of care practices. Generally speaking, the results of this research point to the urgent need of thought about the practices currently implemented on CAPS. It is fundamental that the care model develops practices that focus on the life of the subjects, with their housing, economic, affective, cultural, family and social network vulnerabilities

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo avaliar os impactos estruturais, de processo e desempenho gerados nas redes de inovação caracterizadas pelas empresas e as Instituições de Ciência e Tecnologia estabelecidas para tomada de recursos dos Fundos Setoriais para Ciência e Tecnologia brasileiros. Isto porque os fundos setoriais representam importantes pilares do sistema nacional de inovação brasileiro e, como foram criados a pouco mais de uma década, o momento é oportuno para sua avaliação. Nessa pesquisa foram analisados os fundos setoriais de energia e biotecnologia. O presente estudo utilizou dados secundários disponíveis nas Bases de Dados da FINEP, que representam cerca de 70% do total desses fundos em projeto e também em volumes de recursos. Os indicadores de análise são posicionados em diferentes disciplinas científicas e diferentes níveis de análise e foram consolidados à luz da teoria do modelo de gestão da inovação aberta. A pesquisa também contribui para disseminação e consolidação da cultura de inovação no país e da importância das políticas governamentais de fomento à inovação. Os setores de biotecnologia e energia são de forte apelo e custo social, estão relacionados entre si e são intensos em pesquisa e desenvolvimento. São, portanto, participantes naturais do sistema brasileiro de inovação e tomadores dos fundos setoriais. Além disso, esses setores são importantes setores para desenvolvimento econômico regional, constituindo assim, áreas importantes para o campi da USP de Ribeirão Preto. A região está implantando um parque tecnológico que contempla essas áreas na sua diversidade de atuação. Finalmente, esses temas são de interesse do pesquisador que tem paixão e carreira em desenvolvimento e inovação. Portanto, a consolidação da pesquisa como competência no meu currículo constitui motivo fundamental de integração e dedicação no programa de mestrado. / The present research target to evaluate structural impacts, as well as process impacts and performance impacts on the innovation networks characterized for companies and Science and Technological Institutions established to affiliate on Brazilian Technological Development Funds - Fundos Setoriais para Ciência e Tecnologia. That is because the Brazilian Technological and Development Funds represent main political instruments for the national innovation system. The research used secondary data available at FINEP which represent about 70% of the number of projects as well as the total funds of the program. At present research Brazilian technological development funds for biotechnology and energy were analyzed. The analyses indicators are set on multiple analyses levels as well as on different research disciplines that were consolidated under the light of the open innovation management model. The research also contributes to dissemination and consolidation of the innovative culture in Brazil as well as the importance of public innovation funding policies adopted by countries. The biotechnology and energy sectors represent strong social and cost appeal, are correlated each other and are intense on research and development investment. They are therefore natural participants on the Brazilian innovation system and technological development funds users. Further, those sectors represent important sectors for the regional economic development and thought, to the Ribeirão Preto USP university campi. The region is building its technological park at present moment which considers its areas as strategic to its development. Finally, those themes are important to the researcher who has passion and a carrier on development and innovation. The consolidation of the research on mine curriculum is the main objective to affiliate on the master program.

This thesis deals with the presumption that multilateral diplomacy is a possible means to promote good governance. The first part described the origin, definition and criticism of the concept of good governance. Another part deals with transformations of diplomacy and international relations after the Cold War. Contemporary diplomacy must respond to globalization, interdependence, technological development, changing international environment and increase the number of actors in international relations. The last part is devoted to multilateral diplomacy, international organizations and especially their connection with good governance. In my thesis I came to the conclusion that multilateral diplomacy can be a useful tool for promoting the objectives of good governance and management of the state. The best space for the use of multilateral diplomacy as a means of promoting good governance is intergovernmental organization.

Petr Hönig - Spectacular Society of the 21st Century This diploma thesis polemizes with the approach of a human to smart technologies in the context of postmodern society and it aims to formulate a conclusion about how the use of smart technologies, given their current form and the current state of affairs in general, with its side effects may affect the form and nature of the whole society. By analyzing fundamental aspects of postmodern society, specifically by reflecting on the processes of globalization, individualization, rationalization and relativization, and by analyzing the approach of a human to smart technologies, specifically by reflecting on the consequences of the use of selected technologies by lay users, this thesis relates to the form and nature of current society. Its aim is to demonstrate the spectacularness of society in the dichotomous perspective as well as to commence a general discussion of the approach of a human to smart technologies in level of questions connected to technological development and human nature in the 21st century.
