Lugares de fronteira: as tascas localizadas nas portas da muralha Fernandina de Évora

Esta dissertação de mestrado tem por objecto de estudo o conjunto das tascas localizadas nas portas da Muralha Fernandina de Évora. Praticamente desaparecidos espaços ainda íntegros, pode-se considerar que estas construções integram uma rede de estabelecimentos composta por estruturas militares, religiosas, de lazer e de carácter colectivo, que se encontram associadas e caracterizam as portas medievais de Évora. O objectivo desta investigação é o estudo urbanístico e arquitectónico das portas urbanas, e o modo como os estabelecimentos de venda de bebida configuraram as diversas narrativas urbanas a partir de diferentes orientações políticas ao longo dos tempos. O caso de Évora é tomado como base de trabalho por ser legível ainda uma imagem de conjunto, a partir de vestígios, exemplares minimamente conservados, fontes históricas, impressas e fotográficas. A articulação urbana típica e recorrente, na relação directa tasca-porta, pode-se encontrar noutras cidades alentejanas, e nas cidades amuralhadas em geral; PLACES OF FRONTIER: THE TAVERNS LOCATED IN THE GATES OF EVORA'S FERNANDINA WALL ABSTRACT: This dissertation has as subject the study of the taverns located in the gates of Évora's Fernandina Wall. Despite the almost disappearance of intact spaces, it can be considered that these buildings are part of a network of institutions composed of various structures such as military, religious, recreational and collective character, which are associated and feature the ancient medieval gates of Évora. The aim of this investigation is the urban and architectural study of the urban gates, and how the beverage outlets have represented the various urban narratives from different political orientations over time. The case of Évora is the base of work by being a readable group, from traces, minimally preserved specimens, historical, printed and photographic sources. The typical and recurrent urban articulation, in a direct relation tavern-gate, can be seen in other Alentejo towns, and walled cities in general.

Cross-shore transport in a daily varying upwelling regime: A case study of barnacle larvae on the southwestern Iberian coast.

With favored offshore and downstream advection, the question of which physical mechanism may promote onshore transport of larvae in upwelling systems is of central interest. We have conducted a semi-realistic high resolution (0.25 km) numerical study of Lagrangian transports across the inner-shelf under upwelling-favorable wind forcing conditions, focusing on the shelf area of the Southwestern Portuguese coast, in the lee of Cape Sines. We add our findings to several years of biological observations of C. montagui, a planktonic species with higher recruitment during the upwelling peak timely with the daylight flood. Simulations cover a fifteen days period during the summer of 2006. We focused on Spring and Neap tide periods and observed upfront differences between simulations and the in situ observa- tions. However, the model is capable of representing the main dynamics of the region, namely the re- petitive character of the inner-shelf currents. We find that the cross-shore flow varies significantly in the daily cycle, and locally within a scale of a few kilometers in association with local topography and the presence of the cape. We consider the region immediately in the lee of the cape to be an upwelling shadow where the larvae became retained, and found that tidally tied migration proves beneficial for successful recruitment during the spring tides period. Our work suggested that the wind is not the only mechanism responsible for the daily variability of the cross-shore exchange. However, its sharp reversal at midday is critical for the advection of larvae towards the coast.

Capital intelectual do novo modelo de gestão governamental de Alagoas : excelência no atendimento ao cidadão

O escopo deste é descrever o Capital Intelectual para enfocar suas formas como base para se alcançar a Excelência no Atendimento ao Cliente na Gestão Pública. Desta forma, o atendimento por ser um veiculo para qualificar as atividades públicas, ficou sustentado pela literatura existente e pela pesquisa de campo. Assim, relata-se a Gestão Pública, porém, ressaltando-se o foco no cliente interno e externo, com a determinação no servidor público e o usuário, para que a qualidade e a padronização alcancem as atividades desenvolvidas nos órgãos públicos estaduais, mas a essência desta pesquisa é justamente ter como resultado final a excelência no atendimento público, portanto, a pesquisa de campo foi realizada no "JA - Atendimento ao Cidadão", órgão do Governo Estadual, que, em um mesmo ambiente, congrega a prestação de serviços de diversos órgãos das esferas: federal, estadual e municipal, logo se classifica esta pesquisa de natureza aplicada, quantitativa, descritiva, explicativa e conclusiva, e adota-se a modalidade de pesquisa com procedimentos formais e com método monográfico. Espera-se que novos estudantes na área de Administração utilizem este estudo como uma referencia para novos estudos do Capital Intelectual e a Gestão Pública, especificamente, no atendimento ao Cliente. ABSTRACT: The target of this is to describe the Intellectual Capital to focus its forms as base to reach the Excellency in the Attendance to the Customer in the Public administration. ln such a way, the attendance for being one I propagate to characterize the public activities, was supported for existing literature and the research of field. Thus, Public administration is told to it, however, standing out the focus in the internal and externa! customer, with the determination in the public server and the user, so that the quality and the standardization reach the activities developed in the state public agencies, but the essence of this research is exactly to have as resulted final the Excellency in the public attendance, therefore, the field research was carried through in the "JA - Attendance to the Citizen", agency of the State Government, that, in exactly surrounding one, congregates the rendering of services of diverse agencies of the spheres: federal, state and municipal, then this research of applied, quantitative, descriptive, explicative and conclusive nature is classified, and is adopted it modality of research with formal procedures and monographic method. One expects that new students in the area of Administration use this study as reference for new studies of the Intellectual Capital and the Public administration, specifically, in the attendance to the Customer.
