Turismo e desenvolvimento regional: modelo APL TUR aplicado à região das Hortênsias (Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil) / Turismo e desenvolvimento regional: modelo APL TUR aplicado à região das Hortênsias (Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil)Tomazzoni, Edegar Luís 20 March 2007 (has links)
Pesquisa descritivo-explicativa e exploratória sobre a relação entre Turismo e desenvolvimento regional que apresenta o modelo de análise APL Tur, elaborado com base em elementos de referenciais teóricos de economia, geografia, sociologia, administração, comunicação, antropologia e Turismo. O objetivo é mostrar se é possível realizar o desenvolvimento regional por meio do Turismo. Uma região é um contexto territorial delimitado por critérios geográficos, econômicos e políticos. Um dos modelos da análise e gestão do desenvolvimento regional é o Arranjo Produtivo Local APL, uma categoria especial de cluster. Em razão das limitações do APL, elabora-se o modelo particular de análise APL Tur Arranjo Produtivo Local de Turismo. O modelo APL Tur estrutura-se nas dimensões econômica, cultural e organizacional. Os elementos do desenvolvimento regional na dimensão econômica são: delimitação espacial; disparidades intra-regionais; externalidades; sustentabilidade ambiental; e inclusão social. Os elementos do Turismo circunscritos na dimensão econômica são: oferta e demanda; desempenho; priorização; exportação; circuito produtivo; interatividade extra-regional; e acessibilidade. Na dimensão cultural, destacam-se: aspectos históricos; acervos e incentivos; estética; produtos e atrativos; animação; e motivação e satisfação da comunidade. Na dimensão organizacional, têm-se os elementos: poder e capital social; gestão sistêmica; divulgação e imagem; mercadologia e comercialização; planejamento; empreendedorismo e inovação; e conhecimento. Realizou-se o teste do modelo APL Tur, aplicando-o à Região das Hortênsias (Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil), formada pelos municípios de Gramado, Canela, Nova Petrópolis e São Francisco de Paula. Com base no quadro de indicadores dos elementos das dimensões do modelo APL Tur, verifica-se que o Turismo contribui para o desenvolvimento regional, pois proporciona o ingresso, produção e distribuição de riquezas. Para que uma região se desenvolva economicamente por meio do Turismo, é preciso, entretanto, uma gestão adequada das dimensões e elementos do APL Tur, visando à realização dos seus indicadores. O modelo APL Tur é um instrumento adequado para diagnosticar e para identificar oportunidades de melhoria da atividade turística como polarizadora ou como alternativa do desenvolvimento regional. / This is a descriptive-explanatory and exploratory research about the relationship between Tourism and regional development that presents the LPS Tour analysis model and that was worked out taking its basis elements of theoretical references from economics, geography, sociology, administration, communication, anthropology and Tourism. The objective is to show if it is possible to accomplish regional development through Tourism. A region is a territorial context delimitated by geographical, economic, and political criteria. It is taken into consideration that the general model of Local Productive System of Tourism LPS, a especific cathegory of cluster, has limitations to the analysis and management of Tourism. For this reason, the LPS Tour Local Productive System of Tourism - particular model of analysis - is developed. The LPS model is structured in the economic, cultural, and organizational dimensions. The regional development elements in the economic dimension are: spatial delimitation; intra-regional dissimilarities; externalities; environmental sustainability; and social inclusion. The Tourism elements circumscribed in the economic dimension are: supply and demand; performance; prioritization; exportation; productive circuit; extra-regional interactivity; and accessibility. In the cultural dimension, the elements that stand out are: historical aspects; collections and incentives; esthetics; products and attractions; animation; and motivation and satisfaction of the community. In the organizational dimension, we have the following elements: power and stock capital; systemic management; divulgation and image; marketing and commercialization; planning; entrepreneurship and innovation; and knowledge. The test of the LPS Tour model was performed applying it to the Região das Hortênsias (Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil) (The Hydrangeas Region), that is formed by the municipal districts of Gramado, Canela, Nova Petrópolis, and São Francisco de Paula. Based on the panel of indicators of the dimensions elements of the LPS Tour model, it is possible to verify that Tourism contributes to the regional development because it accomplishes the ingression, production and distribution of richness. However, for a region to develop economically through Tourism, an adequate management of its dimensions and elements is necessary, aiming at the accomplishment of the LPS Tour indicators. The LPS Tour model is an adequate instrument to diagnose and to identify opportunities of improvement of the tourist activity, as a polarizer or as an alternative to regional development.

Previous issue date: 2010-02-08 / The activity of tourism maritime cruise operation started in Brazil over 60 years ago, although it has gained space in the national economic scenario just recently, thus emerging as one of the country's main and most promising tourism modalities. Encouraged by the excellent cruise seasons of the decade, foreign ship companies, local businessmen, governmental entities and the society in general, turn their attention to this segment. In the 2008/2009 season, for example, ship companies served about 520 thousand guests in their 16 ships. If this volume were not enough high, the segment announces 18 ships for the 2009/2010 season, with capacity to attend 920 thousand guests. Estimates in the sector on the potential of this activity point out that the market may reach the mark of 2 million passengers in short time. For all this volume of guests served and the segment potential scope, the operation of maritime cruises in the country is still little known, mainly as to the accounting and management approach. Many are the actors involved in this process who take part in the several steps of this activity's production chain. The cruise operating company relates to each one of them and carries out basic functions of promoting and selling cruises, as well as that of administering a few activities while the ships are in national waters. For this purpose, they interact with the very foreign ship company, travel agencies, representative agencies, port agencies, government entities, several suppliers and, of course, passengers. The organization and management of all these relationships is something that can be very complex on the operational point of view. In this sense, the importance of the accounting control of these companies has been confirmed. The operating company's controllership division has been outstanding as it develops and exceptional work of managing these relationships. Based on a solid accounting foundation, these divisions have been meeting the needs of managers, thus producing information of a relevant nature and in proper time, helping the business management process. It is in the accounting sphere that these companies search for a relevant part of the operation information and which encompasses a few interesting specificities under the accounting perspective. The management of charter contracts, advance payments received by passengers, advance payment of commissions to travel agents or marketing expenses, the entry of revenues resulting from the sale of coastal or international cruises, among others, are aspects that are considered part of this set of specificities. Likewise, the relationships with the ship companies are also specific topics of this segment. We can note that the management of the cash flow and these coastal cruise contracts are key factors for the success of these businesses. This case study, developed with two of the main cruise companies of the Brazilian cruise industry, Ibero Cruzeiros and Costa Cruzeiros, does an analysis in detail of the aspects of this activity, contributing for the knowledge formation of the tourism cruise operation and the importance of the accounting control in these companies as well as the accounting practices used by the operators in the control of the main operations / A atividade de operação de cruzeiros marítimos de turismo teve início, no Brasil, há mais de 60 anos, embora, somente agora, ganhe espaço no cenário econômico nacional, despontando como uma das principais e mais promissoras modalidades do turismo do país.
Incentivada pelas excelentes temporadas de cruzeiros da década, armadoras estrangeiras, empresários locais, entidades governamentais e sociedade em geral, voltam suas atenções ao segmento.
Na temporada de 2008/2009, por exemplo, as armadoras atenderam em seus 16 navios cerca de 520 mil hóspedes. Como se esse volume não fosse bastante elevado, o segmento anuncia 18 navios para a temporada 2009/2010, com capacidade para o atendimento de 920 mil hóspedes. Estimativas do setor sobre o potencial dessa atividade indicam que o mercado pode atingir a marca de 2 milhões de passageiros em pouco tempo.
Apesar de todo esse volume de hóspedes atendidos e do potencial de alcance do segmento, a operação de cruzeiros marítimos no país ainda é pouco conhecida, principalmente sobre o enfoque contábil e de gestão.
São muitos os atores envolvidos nesse processo e que participam das diversas fases da cadeia de produção dessa atividade. A operadora de cruzeiros relaciona-se com cada um deles e executa as funções básicas de promoção e vendas dos cruzeiros, bem como a de administração de algumas atividades enquanto os navios se encontram em águas nacionais. Para tanto, interage com a própria armadora estrangeira, as agências de viagem, as agências representantes, as agências portuárias, as entidades governamentais, diversos fornecedores e, é claro, com os passageiros.
A organização e a gestão de todas essas relações é algo que, sob o ponto de vista operacional, pode ser considerado bastante complexo. Nesse sentido, a importância do controle contábil, nessas empresas, tem se confirmado. A divisão de Controladoria das operadoras tem se destacado à medida que desenvolve um excepcional trabalho de gerenciamento dessas relações. Calcada em um forte embasamento teórico contábil, essas divisões vêm atendendo às necessidades dos gestores, produzindo informação de natureza relevante e em tempo adequado e auxiliando no processo de gerenciamento do negócio.
É na contabilidade que essas empresas buscam uma parte importante das informações da operação e que englobam certas particularidades interessantes sob a ótica contábil. O gerenciamento de contratos de afretamento, antecipação recebida de passageiros, pagamento antecipado de comissões a agentes de viagem ou de despesas de marketing, o registro das receitas provenientes da venda de cruzeiros de cabotagem ou internacional, entre outros, são aspectos considerados parte desse conjunto de particularidades. Da mesma forma, as relações com as armadoras, também, são temas específicos desse segmento. Note-se que a gestão do fluxo de caixa e desses contratos de cabotagem são fatores-chave para o sucesso desses negócios.
Este estudo de caso, desenvolvido com duas das principais empresas de cruzeiros do mercado brasileiro, a Ibero Cruzeiros e a Costa Cruzeiros, faz uma análise detalhada de todos esses aspectos da atividade, contribuindo para a formação de conhecimento sobre a operação de cruzeiros de turismo e a importância do controle contábil nessas empresas, bem como as práticas contábeis utilizadas pelas operadoras no controle das operações de maior relevância

Eulerian Properties of Design Hypergraphs and Hypergraphs with Small Edge CutsWagner, Andrew 23 April 2019 (has links)
An Euler tour of a hypergraph is a closed walk that traverses every edge exactly once; if a hypergraph admits such a walk, then it is called eulerian. Although this notion is one of the progenitors of graph theory --- dating back to the eighteenth century --- treatment of this subject has only begun on hypergraphs in the last decade. Other authors have produced results about rank-2 universal cycles and 1-overlap cycles, which are equivalent to our definition of Euler tours.
In contrast, an Euler family is a collection of nontrivial closed walks that jointly traverse every edge of the hypergraph exactly once and cannot be concatenated simply. Since an Euler tour is an Euler family comprising a single walk, having an Euler family is a weaker attribute than being eulerian; we call a hypergraph quasi-eulerian if it admits an Euler family. Due to a result of Lovász, it can be much easier to determine that some classes of hypergraphs are quasi-eulerian, rather than eulerian; in this thesis, we present some techniques that allow us to make the leap from quasi-eulerian to eulerian.
A triple system of order n and index λ (denoted TS(n,λ)) is a 3-uniform hypergraph in which every pair of vertices lies together in exactly λ edges. A Steiner triple system of order n is a TS(n,1). We first give a proof that every TS(n,λ) with λ ⩾ 2 is eulerian. Other authors have already shown that every such triple system is quasi-eulerian, so we modify an Euler family in order to show that an Euler tour must exist. We then give a proof that every Steiner triple system (barring the degenerate TS(3,1)) is eulerian. We achieve this by first constructing a near-Hamilton cycle out of some of the edges, then demonstrating that the hypergraph consisting of the remaining edges has a decomposition into closed walks in which each edge is traversed exactly once.
In order to extend these results on triple systems, we define a type of hypergraph called an ℓ-covering k-hypergraph, a k-uniform hypergraph in which every ℓ-subset of the vertices lie together in at least one edge. We generalize the techniques used earlier on TS(n,λ) with λ ⩾ 2 and define interchanging cycles. Such cycles allow us to transform an Euler family into another Euler family, preferably of smaller cardinality. We first prove that all 2-covering 3-hypergraphs are eulerian by starting with an Euler family that has the minimum cardinality possible, then demonstrating that if there are two or more walks in the Euler family, then we can rework two or more of them into a single walk. We then use this result to prove by induction that, for k ⩾ 3, all (k-1)-covering k-hypergraphs are eulerian.
We attempt to extend these results further to all ℓ-covering k-hypergraphs for ℓ ⩾ 2 and k ⩾ 3. Using the same induction technique as before, we only need to give a result for 2-covering k-hypergraphs. We are able to use Lovász's condition and some counting techniques to show that these are all quasi-eulerian.
Finally, we give some constructive results on hypergraphs with small edge cuts. There has been analogous work by other authors on hypergraphs with small vertex cuts. We reduce the problem of finding an Euler tour in a hypergraph to finding an Euler tour in each of the connected components of the edge-deleted subhypergraph, then show how these individual Euler tours can be concatenated.

Livestrong or Lie Hard: A Pentadic Analysis of Deception and Reputation Management in 'The Armstrong Lie'Anderson, Harper D. 01 March 2017 (has links)
Kenneth Burke's pentadic analysis has been a staple within the context of rhetorical criticism since the early days of critical communication studies. Throughout the years it has evolved from a heavy text criticism to application to film and documentary. The Armstrong Lie is another documentary that highlights the controversial actions of former seven-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong. This film provides an opportunity in which the pentadic analysis can be applied in order to really dissect the message that is being told. Through application of the pentadic analysis to The Armstrong Lie it is possible to identify the true motivation of the documentary's director, Alex Gibney. The present study seeks to identify the true message being told through the narrative of the documentary. Alex Gibney's motivations come under question as to whether or not he was exonerating himself by lessening the controversy of what Lance Armstrong had done by cheating in a highly competitive sport by characterizing him more as a product of his environment.

自動導覽系統中智慧型觀察者的運動計畫 / Motion Planning for an Intelligent Observer in Automatic Tour-Guiding Systems游宗翰, Yu, Tzong-Hann Unknown Date (has links)
在本論文中,我們設計了一個以運動計畫演算法為基礎的自動導覽系統,讓使用者能透過計畫程式的輔助輕鬆地瀏覽虛擬場景。這系統包括一個我們稱之為智慧型觀察者的照相機模組,而這個模組便是本論文的研究焦點。其包含了三個主要功能:第一、追蹤導覽員(目標物),在任何時刻都要看到移動中的導覽員;第二、當使用者對照相機(觀察者)的路徑不滿意時,可以線上進行即時修改,而系統能保證其不與障礙物碰撞;第三、允許設定慣用動作(Idiom),以豐富導覽活動。我們實作了這個自動導覽系統,並且根據二維以及三維空間的特性,提出有效率的搜尋演算法,以解決智慧型觀察者追蹤目標物的問題,並讓搜尋的時間能符合線上計算的需求。另外針對線上即時修改路徑和設定慣用動作的部分,我們也提出了線上累進的搜尋方法以及內插權重參數的方式,並以實驗證明了這些設計的有效性。我們相信此類智慧型觀察者的研究,能有效地應用在自動導覽系統或其他應用中,提供使用者以方便的介面瀏覽虛擬環境。 / In this thesis, we have designed an automatic tour-guiding system based on motion planning algorithms to assist users in navigating a virtual environment. This system includes a camera module that was called intelligent observer, which is the focus of this thesis. This module includes three main functions as follows. First, the camera must be able to track the moving tour guide (target) at any time. Second, when a user is not satisfied with the camera’s (observer’s) path, he/she can choose to modify the path on-the-fly without letting the camera collide with the environmental obstacles. Third, it incorporates Cinematographic idioms to enrich tour activities. We have proposed and implemented efficient search algorithms in this system to solve the motion-tracking problem according to the characteristics of the 2D and 3D workspaces. Our experiments show that the performance of this planning system is satisfactory for our on-line application. Moreover, for the parts of modifying paths on-line and

“It’s All About War: Canadian Opinion and the Canadian Approach to International Relations, 1935-1939.”Metcalfe, Heather M. 24 September 2009 (has links)

“It’s All About War: Canadian Opinion and the Canadian Approach to International Relations, 1935-1939.”
Canadians in the 1930s did not appear eager to focus on foreign affairs. The social and economic difficulties caused by the dislocation of the Great Depression meant that international developments often seemed remote and irrelevant. However, despite this focus on domestic issues, many Canadians were concerned with the trend of international events. As a result, the debate regarding the appropriate Canadian response remained an ongoing, if underlying, factor. In addition, the political issues raised by Canadian foreign policy, particularly through the Canadian involvement in the British Commonwealth and the League of Nations, meant the issue could not simply be ignored.
During the later part of the decade, as the possibility of international conflict became ever more likely, increasing numbers of Canadians turned their attention to Canada’s international role. They also turned their attention to what this debate meant in terms of the Canadian sense of identity. These individuals were concerned as well with the response of Canadian public opinion to involvement overseas. This question, of the nature and susceptibility of Canadian public opinion to attempts to direct it, remains an intriguing one. The nature of this response remained open to question, and was the subject of significant debate among Canadian intellectuals, politicians and public figures. In response, a number of individuals and groups, including members of the Canadian press, attempted to influence Canadian public opinion. Many also pressured the Canadian government, led by William Lyon Mackenzie King’s administration, to play a more active role in shaping public opinion. Canadian intellectuals, for instance, influenced by contemporary writings on public opinion, seemed convinced of their natural role as ‘shapers’ of public opinion, particularly in a time of domestic and international crisis. These assumptions, and the ways in which Canadian public opinion both responded to, and rejected these attempts at direction, provide an interesting window into the question of public opinion, particularly in regards to international events. The debate regarding the Canadian response to the crises of the late 1930s can thus aid in gaining a greater appreciation of how public opinion shifts in response to outside challenges and the attempts to influence its course.

EFFECTIVENESS OF A FARM FIELD TRIPSigmon, Bonnie S 01 January 2014 (has links)
The annual Sigmon Farm Tour was started in 1992 as an agricultural education program where students could experience being on a farm with the goal of increasing the agricultural literacy levels of the participants. Every year the entire 4th grade student population of Rockcastle County spends the day touring the farm and participating in experiential mini lessons given by the cooperating farm service and health agencies. The program has continued for 20+ years without an evaluation as to whether it is achieving its objectives. This evaluation will also exhibit the programs strengths and weakness so it can continue to improve. This study utilized the pretest, posttest and delayed posttest to ascertain the agricultural literacy level of the student before the fieldtrip, after participating in the field trip and again 90 days later.

結合行動應用之自由行旅遊支援平台建置 / The Development of a Travel Supported Platform with Mobile Application for Backpacking王子瑜, Wang, Tzu Yu Unknown Date (has links)
摘要
觀光旅遊是現今十分興盛的休閒活動,根據 2010 至 2012 年交通部觀光局統計資料顯示,國人國內旅遊以非旅行社承辦平均高達約 88%,因此如何有效規劃行程內容及安排各景點間的交通路線,就成為旅遊前的重要準備工作。
檢視目前旅遊規劃的數位服務平台並無法真正解決旅遊需求。故本研究設計與建置一套旅遊支援平台,首先藉由訪談,了解使用者需求,歸納出平台設計重點,分析系統的使用流程,再設計功能模組化與操作介面,最後建置平台並進行原型評估。本平台以雲端資料庫為基礎,無縫結合網站與行動應用兩端的資訊流。使用者在行前利用網站規劃行程內容,完成後上傳至雲端資料庫,網站端內容會自動同步於行動應用端,並以適合行動應用的界面呈現。使用者之行程安排因此更便利與彈性,在行動中亦能利隨時以手機查看行程,並依當地情況修改行程、即時安排交通路徑,使得旅遊行程計畫可以依實際的變化機動調適。而更新後的行程亦同步儲存於雲端。
本研究未來方向可以往更多的服務串流發展,如景點的多媒體內容、社群結合、智慧邏輯排程或外部資訊連結等等。隨著未來資訊技術的提升,將為系統平台帶來更多可能性、讓整體服務擁有更佳的整合性,提供使用者更好的體驗。 / Nowadays, touring is a popular leisure activity. According to statistics from the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, people arranged their own domestic travels as high as 88%. Because backpacking can be economical and more flexible, many young people tend to travel by themselves. Therefore travel planning has become the most important preparation work. How to plan an effective schedule and how to arrange the routes between attractive points are the tasks that backpackers often need to face.
However there are few information services for the needs currently. The thesis designed and implemented a travelling support platform. First, the research identified design key elements by interviewing users and analyzing travelling behaviors. Second, the research mapped the touring process into functional models. Finally, we built and tested the platform prototype. This platform is Cloud-based and seamlessly integrates both website and mobile application to achieve the information service. Users use the website to schedule their trips and upload the schedules to the cloud database. Then the user can access the same schedule made at website on the mobile APP synchronously. They can check their schedule while they are traveling on the mobile phones. In addition, they can edit the schedule and rearrange new traffic routes real-time to adjust to the local circumstances.
The further developments of the platform will include more integrated services, such as multimedia contents, social network, and intelligent logic scheduling. With the evolution of the technology in the future, the platform will provide better user experience.
