Atividades econômicas são geradoras de impactos ambientais resultante de suas operações, incluindo o setor das empresas de logística. Este tema tem atraído considerável atenção da comunidade científica internacional, entretanto, estudos sobre o tema no Brasil são incipientes. Nesta pesquisa foi realizada uma revisão estruturada da literatura que mapeou iniciativas verdes realizadas apenas por empresas Prestadoras de Serviços Logísticos (PSLs) e classificadas como internas e externas à organização em forma de um framework. Nesse contexto e de acordo com o estado-da-arte do campo de pesquisa apontado, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi de identificar iniciativas de sustentabilidade ambiental praticadas por algumas empresas PSLs brasileiras, e analisar a abrangência da realização das iniciativas. O método de pesquisa escolhido foi um estudo exploratório, com questionário semiestruturado, e coleta de dados do tipo survey. Com apoio do software NVivo10 foi possível entender as empresas estudadas, uma vez que facilitou as análises permitindo planejar e classificar informações oriundas de outras três questões abertas compostas no questionário, e pesquisar padrões nas respostas dos respondentes. Os resultados das análises indicam que as empresas respondentes têm realizado diversas ações a favor da sustentabilidade ambiental, entretanto algumas delas de forma pouco abrangente. A maior parte das iniciativas realizadas no contexto analisado são intraorganizacionais, quando comparada as interorganizacionais. / The pursuance for sustainability has been a topic debated among managers and academics around the world. Economic activities generate environmental impacts resulting from its operations, and also the logistics industry. This topic has attracted considerable attention from the international scientific community, however, studies on that issue in Brazil are incipient. The structured literature review mapped out green initiatives undertaken only by Logistics Service Providers (LSPs), and classified in the form of a framework as internal and external to the organization. In this context and according to the state-of-the-art of the research field pointed out, the aim of this research was to identify environmental sustainability initiatives practiced by some Brazilian LSP companies, and analyze the scope of the initiatives. The chosen research method was an exploratory study, with semi-structured questionnaire, and survey data collection. With the support of the NVivo10 software, it was possible to understand the companies studied, since it facilitated the analysis allowing to plan and classify information from three other open questions composed in the questionnaire, as well to search for patterns in respondents' answers. The results indicate that the surveyed companies have carried out several actions in favor of environmental sustainability, however some of them not with all potential. And most of the carried out initiatives are intraorganizational, when compared to the interorganizational ones. / CNPq: 134565/2015-0

No. of bitstreams: 1 LucieneBF.pdf: 1503082 bytes, checksum: d8e72aeafa5923cb13bdd0de1556f105 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-05-19 / Desde a cria??o da tecnologia e do seu uso pelas empresas, a rela??o custo e benef?cio nem sempre foi bem elucidada tanto para os respons?veis pela ?rea de tecnologia quanto para a alta dire??o. Mas, apesar disto, cada vez mais as organiza??es investem maci?amente em tecnologia, esperando que esta seja a solu??o para diversos problemas. Por isto, esta quest?o tem se tornado crucial para o processo de tomada de decis?es, visto que investimentos nesta ?rea costumam ser dispendiosos e, na atual conjuntura, estas an?lises precisam ser extremamente criteriosas para que se miniminizem as possibilidades de insucesso dos projetos, principalmente numa economia estabilizada e de concorr?ncia acirrada. Uma das alternativas que as empresas t?m buscado para atingir o sucesso e correr menos riscos ? a terceiriza??o da ?rea de TI. Partindo desta vis?o, a presente disserta??o tem por objetivo realizar uma investiga??o sobre a terceiriza??o dos servi?os de TI em todos os seus aspectos, isto ?, desde a sua motiva??o, servi?os efetivamente terceirizados, vantagens, desvantagens e poss?veis obst?culos, a vis?o do alinhamento estrat?gico da TI, os processos de gest?o de contratos e formas de controle e, por fim, tend?ncias futuras. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de m?ltiplos casos, envolvendo franquias do Sistema Coca-Cola no Brasil. O estudo apresenta uma pesquisa bibliogr?fica sobre o processo de tomada de decis?o empresarial, a an?lise de investimentos, a gest?o e a terceiriza??o da TI, o que permitem definir as dimens?es de an?lise da pesquisa. Na pesquisa de campo foram entrevistados os gerentes da ?rea de TI, nas cidades de Bras?lia-DF, Goi?nia-GO e Ribeir?o Preto-SP. A pesquisa de campo permitiu identificar como as mesmas avaliam seus investimentos em TI, como esta ?rea ? gerenciada, o que as levou a optar pela terceiriza??o e como os processos terceirizados afetam a organiza??o. Por se tratar de uma pesquisa qualitativa, optou-se por analisar comparativamente as tr?s organiza??es. Com a realiza??o deste estudo, obtiveram-se, como principais resultados, que as organiza??es est?o utilizando a terceiriza??o em TI para focar no neg?cio principal e, mesmo encontrando diversas desvantagens, inclusive com rela??o a custos, acreditam que os benef?cios justificam. Ainda identificaram-se alguns obst?culos internos para a terceiriza??o, principalmente quanto ao receio de se perder a intelig?ncia do neg?cio. O acompanhamento dessas atividades terceirizadas ? realizado pela equipe interna e por crit?rios estruturados, onde se verificam os n?veis de servi?o

O papel do informante no diagnóstico do TDAH em adultos

Breda, Vitor Carlos Thumé January 2014 (has links)
O TDAH é um transtorno do neurodesenvolvimento e, de acordo com os novos critérios do DSM, a presença de vários sintomas antes de 12 anos de idade são exigidos. Além disso, o DSM-5 também incentiva o clínico a buscar informações colaterais para corroborar o diagnóstico, mesmo para adultos. O esforço para a obtenção de informações de terceiros seria justificada se uma evidência robusta de sua relevância pudesse ser demonstrada. Este é um estudo transversal com 449 pacientes adultos com TDAH e 143 controles, entrevistados entre 2002 e 2012. Os participantes foram consecutivamente avaliados para transtornos psiquiátricos considerando-se o DSM-IV, através de instrumentos diagnósticos padronizados. Informações colaterais foram obtidas usando-se as escalas de Barkley para sintomas de TDAH atuais e da infância. Nós comparamos os perfis demográficos e clínicos de pacientes adultos cujos informantes concordavam (n = 277) ou discordavam (n = 172) dos pacientes em relação à presença de sintomatologia na infância, e adultos sem TDAH (controles). Os pacientes com TDAH e controles não diferiram quanto à idade, anos de escolaridade, renda e sexo. Os grupos com TDAH diferiram dos controles com relação a repetência escolar, problemas com autoridade e disciplina, problemas com a lei e polícia, e tratamento farmacológico prévio. Comparados com os controles, os grupos com TDAH também apresentaram escores mais elevados de prejuízo e maiores taxas de prevalência de uso do tabaco, transtorno bipolar, transtorno de oposição e desafio, transtorno de conduta e dependência de substâncias não-alcoólicas. Poucas e pequenas diferenças entre os dois grupos com TDAH (suspensões escolares, problemas com autoridade e disciplina, e escores SNAP-IV) foram observadas. Nossos resultados não oferecem suporte para a ideia de que a informação colateral sobre a sintomatologia da infância é essencial para confirmar o diagnóstico de TDAH em adultos com uma síndrome clara auto relatada desse período, mas reafirmam a ideia de que o diagnóstico não deve ser descartado na ausência de um colateral que corrobore o relato do paciente. Contudo não podemos descartar a importância de informações de fontes externas ao próprio paciente em outras situações clínicas ou apresentações psicopatológicas. / ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and, according to the new DSM, the presence of various symptoms before 12 years of age is required. In addition, the DSM-5 also stimulates the clinician to look for collateral information to support the diagnostis, even for adults. The effort to obtain information from third parties would be justified if a robust evidence of its relevance could be demonstrated. This is a cross-sectional study of 449 adult patients with ADHD and 143 controls, that were interviewed between 2002 and 2012. Participants were consecutively evaluated for DSM-IV psychiatric disorders through standardized diagnostic instruments. Collateral information was obtained with Barkley’s scales for current and childhood ADHD symptoms. We compared the demographic and clinical profiles of adult patients whose informants agreed (n=277) or disagreed (n=172) from patients for the presence of symptoms in childhood, and adults without ADHD (controls). Patients with ADHD and controls did not differ in age, years of education, income and gender. Groups with ADHD differed from controls with respect to school failure, problems with authority and discipline, problems with the law and police, and prior psychopharmacological treatment. Compared with controls, the groups with ADHD also had higher scores of injury and higher prevalence rates of tobacco use, bipolar disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder and non- alcoholic substance dependence. Few and small differences between the two groups with ADHD (school suspensions, problems with authority and discipline, and SNAP-IV scores) were observed. These results do not support the idea that collateral information about symptoms of childhood is essential to confirm the diagnosis of ADHD in adults with a clear self-reported syndrome in childhood, but reaffirm the idea that the diagnosis should not be dismissed in the absence of an informant to corroborate the patient's report. However, we can not rule out the importance of information from external sources for patients with different clinical situations or psychopathological presentations.

What Court should be the competent one (in reason to the subject matter) when a civilly liable third party is involved? / ¿Qué juzgado debe ser el competente (en razón de la materia) cuando se involucra a un tercero civilmente responsable?

Pérez-Prieto De Las Casas, Roberto 25 September 2017 (has links)
The New Peruvian Criminal Procedure Code includes the figure of the civilly liable third party, through which one or more subjects, who are civilly responsible together with the person who committed the crime, are involved in a criminalprocedure.The author of the present article analyses if it is correct to judge people who have not infringed Criminal Law, and hence should be judged in a civil procedure, through a criminal procedure because they are civilly responsible together withthe person that committed a crime. Further on, the author reflects on the fact that criminal judges have to sentence about topics of Civil Law. / El Nuevo Código Procesal Penal peruano recoge la figura del tercero civilmente responsable, mediante la cual se involucra en un proceso penal a uno o más sujetos que tengan responsabilidad civil conjunta con aquel que cometió el delito.El autor del presente artículo analiza si es correcto que se juzgue en un proceso penal a personas que no han infringido la norma penal, y que por lo tanto deberían ser juzgadas civilmente, por tener responsabilidad civil conjunta con aquel que sí delinquió.Asimismo, el autor reflexiona sobre el hecho de que jueces penales tengan que sentenciar sobre temas de Derecho Civil.

Problematic areas in the real property subjects to a fiduciary domain: sales tax treatment and the provisionary measures / Aspectos problemáticos en los inmuebles sujetos a dominio fiduciario: tratamiento del impuesto de alcabala y las medidas cautelares

Pozo Sánchez, Julio, Ormeño Flores, Carolina 12 April 2018 (has links)
According to Peruvian legislation, through an escrow agreement a trustor transfers under a fiduciary domain in favor of an escrow agent various goods, rights and obligations, which must achieve certain purpose. These will constitute an autonomous patrimony that does not respond any obligation of the trustor and the agent escrow. Despite the clarity of this statement, the authors reveal that indeed there might be different interpretations about this agreement that have practical consequences with the treatment of real properties subject to fiduciary dominion. / De acuerdo a la legislación peruana, a través del contrato de fideicomiso, el fideicomitente transfiere en dominio fiduciario a favor del fiduciario diversos bienes, derechos y obligaciones, los mismos que deben ser afectados a la consecución de un determinado fin. De tal manera se constituye un patrimonio autónomo que no responde por las obligaciones del fideicomitente ni del fiduciario. Pese a la claridad de dichas disposiciones, los autores evidencian que en la realidad se presentan situaciones problemáticas de concepto que tienen consecuencias prácticas con el tratamiento de los inmuebles sujetos a dominio fiduciario.

Three is a crowd? Some notes about Third Party Funding and its application in commercial arbitrations / ¿Tres son multitud? Algunas notas sobre el Third Party Funding y su aplicación en arbitrajes comerciales

Ríos Pizarro, Carlos 12 April 2018 (has links)
In this article, the author introduces us to the institution of third party funding and its future application in arbitration litigation. Third party funding allows the litigant’s costs can be funded. Moreover, he points out the problems that the third party financing has, and the implementation of rules to deal with this situation. Finally, there is a tendency to expand the duty of disclosure of the parties whether a third party is funding them. / En este artículo, el autor nos introduce a la institución del third party funding y su futura aplicación en los litigios arbitrales. El third party funding permite que los costos del litigante puedan ser financiados. Asimismo, señala los problemas que presenta el tercero financista, y la implementación de normas para afrontar esa situación. Finalmente, hay una tendencia de ampliar el deber de revelación de las partes sobre si se está siendo financiado por un tercero.

Det nya betaltjänstdirektivet PSD2 : Kommande möjligheter och utmaningar för banker och tredjepartsaktörer inom den svenska finansiella marknaden

Holm, Linn, Persson, Lina January 2017 (has links)
I januari 2018 kommer det nuvarande EU-direktivet PSD att ersättas av det nya betaltjänstdirektivet Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2). Motiven bakom direktivets införande är bland andra att bidra till en förenkling för tredjepartsaktörer att inträda betaltjänstmarknaden samt öka valmöjligheten för konsumenten. Idag domineras betaltjänstmarknaden främst av banker, något som direktivet utformats för att motverka. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur väl några av direktivets motiv stämmer överens med aktörernas uppfattning av direktivets påverkan samt även undersöka vilka möjligheter och utmaningar banker och tredjepartsaktörer ser att det nya direktivet innebär för dem och marknaden. Uppsatsen är genomförd som en fallstudie där semistrukturerade intervjuer med banker och tredjepartsaktörer varit den främsta datainsamlingsmetodiken. Fallstudien visade att aktörernas uppfattning av direktivet till stora delar stämmer bra överens med motiven för direktivet. Samtliga aktörer har en förhållandevis positiv bild av direktivet och ser en mängd olika möjligheter med direktivet. Samarbetet mellan banker och tredjepartsaktörer ses som en av de större möjligheterna. Utmaningarna som aktörerna står inför är varierande beroende på typ av aktör. Studien visade att det finns en del utmaningar som kan komma att begränsa antalet nya aktörer på marknaden. Samtliga möjligheter och utmaningar presenteras i fallstudiens sjätte avsnitt. / In January 2018, the current EU directive PSD will be replaced by the new Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2). The motives behind the implementation of the directive are, inter alia, to help simplify third party providers entering the payment service market and increasing consumer choice. Today, the payment service market is uppermost dominated by banks, something that the directive is designed to counteract. The purpose of this study is to investigate how well some of the motives of the directive are in line with the actors' perception of the impact of the directive, as well as investigate what opportunities and challenges banks and third party providers see that the new directive implies for them and the market. The essay was conducted as a case study, where semistructured interviews with banks and third party players were the primary data collection methodology. The case study showed that the actors' perception of the directive largely complies with the motives for the directive. All actors have a relatively positive view of the directive and see a wide range of possibilities with the directive. Cooperation between banks and third parties is seen as one of the major opportunities. The challenges that the stakeholders face are varied depending on the type of actor they represent. The study showed that there are some challenges that may limit the number of new players in the market. All possibilities and challenges are presented in the sixth section of the case study.

RelaÃÃes de trabalho e relaÃÃes no trabalho na lÃgica capitalista contemporÃnea: um olhar sobre atendentes do call center de uma empresa de telecomunicaÃÃes. / Work Relations in the logic of capital: an approach to the attendants from a call center maintained by a telecommunications company.

MÃnica Duarte Cavaignac 08 September 2010 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O presente trabalho consiste num olhar crÃtico sobre a realidade dos atendentes do call center de uma empresa de telecomunicaÃÃes cuja privatizaÃÃo, no contexto da mundializaÃÃo do capital e do ajuste neoliberal do Estado, trouxe consigo desemprego, aprofundamento das terceirizaÃÃes, precarizaÃÃo das condiÃÃes de trabalho e fragilizaÃÃo da organizaÃÃo sindical. Na condiÃÃo de terceirizados, os chamados operadores de telemarketing mantÃm instÃveis relaÃÃes de trabalho, marcadas pela subcontrataÃÃo, alta rotatividade, baixos salÃrios, discriminaÃÃo em relaÃÃo aos trabalhadores âprimeirizadosâ e desrespeito à questÃo da saÃde. Suas relaÃÃes no trabalho se estabelecem sob um tipo de gestÃo que combina modernas tecnologias de controle da produtividade com antigas formas de vigilÃncia do trabalho, baseadas na cobranÃa por resultados, pressÃo psicolÃgica, assÃdio moral e constante ameaÃa de demissÃo. Trata-se de uma categoria de âinfoproletÃriosâ formada, predominantemente, por jovens do sexo feminino, com ensino mÃdio concluÃdo e que buscam seu primeiro emprego, atraÃdos, muitas vezes, pela oportunidade de conciliar o trabalho com outras atividades, tendo em vista a jornada flexÃvel, prolongada aos fins de semana e feriados. SÃo mercadorias com curto prazo de validade, pois, com pouco tempo de uso, comeÃam a desenvolver problemas fÃsicos e psicolÃgicos, devido ao ritmo intenso e estressante de trabalho. O call center torna-se, assim, um lugar de passagem na vida dos operadores, que por ali transitam provisoriamente, atà conseguirem outra oportunidade no mercado ou serem descartados pela empresa, dificultando a formaÃÃo da identidade coletiva e debilitando a capacidade organizativa dos sindicatos. Estes Ãltimos, diante da terceirizaÃÃo e da conseqÃente fragmentaÃÃo da classe trabalhadora, assumem uma posiÃÃo cada vez mais defensiva e corporativista, recuando no discurso e nas prÃticas de oposiÃÃo à lÃgica do capital. HÃ, todavia, momentos de resistÃncia, como a greve dos operadores de telemarketing de 2007, em que a categoria manifestou seu potencial contestatÃrio e, apoiada por movimentos sociais, tentou mostrar à sociedade como funcionam os serviÃos de telecomunicaÃÃes apÃs a sua mercantilizaÃÃo: à base da exploraÃÃo intensificada do trabalho e da degradaÃÃo das condiÃÃes de vida dos trabalhadores âflexÃveisâ. FlexibilizaÃÃo significa, de fato, tornar o capital mais livre e os trabalhadores mais vulnerÃveis, expondo-os a riscos e reduzindo suas perspectivas no ânovo (e precÃrio) mundo do trabalhoâ. / This work is based on a critical approach to the reality experienced by attendants from a call center maintained by a telecommunications company whose change into a private business, when one is to consider the context of world domination by capital and the neoliberal reshaping of the State, brought unemployment, increase of third party job contracting, worsening of working conditions and weakening of labor union organizations. On their third party role, the so-called telemarketing operators exhibit work conditions on an unstable balance marked by subcontracts, high turnover, low wages, discrimination in relation to âfirst-partyâ workers and neglect of health issues. Work conditions adopted by promoting agents are shaped in such a fashion as to combine modern technology for controlling productivity and old practices of vigilance based on demanding results, levying psychological pressure, moral harassment and constant threat of dismissal. One is dealing with a category of âinfoproletariatâ formed mainly by female youngsters that have concluded high school and are in search of their first job attracted by the fact that they can work and have other activities considering flexibility of work journey that offers free weekends and holidays. Workers in this category have a short date validation, for in a very short span of time start showing signs of physical and psychological problems due to the intense pace of working. The call center becomes by force of this feature a temporary stay for operators until they find another job opportunity or are dismissed by the their employer which make it difficult the development of a collective identity which as a result reflects on the weakening of the organizational capacity of labor unions. Labor unions in face of third party practice and resulting disruption of the working class adopt a growing defensive and corporative position renouncing strong speech and practices to opposing the logic of capital. There are, however, resistance instances such as the strike staged by telemarketing operators in 2007 in which the category displayed its disputing power and, supported by social movements, tried to show to the society how the telecommunications services work following their merchandising process: by means of adopting an strengthened exploitation feature of work, and degrading living conditions of the âflexibleâ workers. Flexibility being, in fact, the process of a freer capital and more vulnerable workers who are put at risk and see their perspectives shrinking in the ânew (and precarious) world of workâ.

MANAGING WATER QUALITY IN AHETEROGENEOUS LANDSCAPE : A SOCIAL NETWORK PERSPECTIVE

Rathwell, Kaitlyn January 2009 (has links)
Understanding how humans and ecosystems interact across landscapes is an importantchallenge for the development of sustainable societies. Human dominated landscapes arefrequently heterogeneous in their distribution of ecosystems and the associated goods andservices. It can be difficult to create management strategies that cater to diverse demandsfrom different resource managers, while at the same time promoting healthy functioningof ecosystems held in common. I use a social network perspective to analyze howmunicipal management units connect to each other with regards to a water resource intwo watersheds in Québec, Canada. I test the importance of collaborative network ties formunicipalities’ engagement in water quality management activities. I assess ifmunicipalities with different ecosystems, namely agriculture and tourism, engagedifferently in water quality management activities and if they have different socialnetworks. I assess the role of third party actor groups such as Government Ministries andNon-Governmental Organizations that connect municipalities across the diverselandscape. Third party actor groups are instrumental in connecting municipalities acrossa diverse landscape. Municipalities with ecosystems facilitating tourism have morecollaborative ties in the water quality management network and are more engaged inwater quality management activities than municipalities managing for agriculturalproduction. An asymmetry in collaborations and activity engagement for water qualitymanagement has implications for the capacity of the region to encourage basin scalewater management.

Peace Negotiations of Sri Lankan Conflict in 2000-2006 : The Ceasefire Agreement Facilitated by Norway is at Stake

Paramanathan, Mathivathana January 2007 (has links)
The objective of the thesis is to study the Sri Lankan negotiation process during 2000-2006 sponsored by the Norwegian facilitation and further to analyse the major constraints hin-dering a final solution. The stated purpose is analysed by studying both primary and secondary materials such as official documents, research and newspaper articles. One of the major findings of the thesis is that the Norwegian facilitation has not been very effective mainly due to both domestic and international political developments in recent years. In the case of domestic politics, the Sri Lankan political arena has a tradition of political crisis which is mainly a result of the two major Sinhalese parties fighting for power. These parties have been blocking any sus-tainable solution for Tamil demands while focusing on their political power. Furthermore, international attitudes towards the warring parties are found to have had a huge impact on the Sri Lankan peace process during the studied period. Since one of the major constraints in the negotiation process appears to be that the Government of Sri Lanka seems to have adopted the international “realpolitik” on its domestic issue in the name of the war on terror. This political strategy may further inflate the already existing na-tionalism among the Sinhalese majority and the Tamil minority and thus may intensify the conflict.
