Relações entre mecanismos de coordenação e controle com desempenho organizacional: um estudo nas instituições públicas de ensino médio de Natal

This research aimed at relating coordination and control forms to organizational performance. The multicase study was applied in two public high schools: Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica do Rio Grande do Norte and Floriano Cavalcanti. In order to accomplish these objectives, it was developed a qualitative analysis and considered coordination and control forms of several authors. Also was considered Sander´s (1984) model of organizational performance. The mentioned model considers two criteria to analyze organizational performance: one instrumental (efficiency and efficacy) and other substantive (effectiveness e relevance). The research attempts to show the importance of balancing these criteria in a way that effectiveness and relevance becomes more important at schools. It was proven that the use of bureaucratic coordination forms has the power to influence the evaluation on the instrumental technique. At the same time, it was observed that the use of mechanisms based on the autonomy of the school is related to efficiency and efficacy. The object of this research can be considered successful

A satisfação dos clientes internos e o comprometimento organizacional: um estudo à luz do modelo ASH nas indústrias alimentícias do RN

Currently the organizations are passing for continuous cycles of changes due to necessity of survival in the work market. The administration of the future points a way to the organizations of today and tomorrow, the search of the competitiveness from loyalty and motivation of its staff. Of this form, the model of the Auditoria do Sistema Humano (ASH), developed for Spanish researchers and that now it is being applied in Brazil, contemplates a series of dimensions about Human Resources management quality in the companies and the organizational effectiveness, such as the environment where the company is inserted, the strategies, the organizational drawing, the psychological and psychosocial processes, e the reached results. In this direction, the present research analyzed the factors of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, making, also, a relation of causality between the same ones. The quantitative-descriptive research had as population the employees of twenty three nourishing industries of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil), registered in the Federacy of the Industries of the state. The collection of the data occurred for the months of October of 2005 and March of 2006, by means of the application of questionnaire of model ASH. The sample was composed for 197 employees, however it was observed presence of five outliers, that they had been excluded from the analysis of the data. To extract the dimensions of the satisfaction and the commitment and identification the factorial analysis was used, with extraction method of principal components, rotation Varimax and normalization Kaiser. The gotten dimensions had been evaluated with the calculation of the coefficient Alpha of Cronbach. The factorial analysis of the pointers of the organizational commitment and identification had extracted ten factors. Of these, four had gotten significance of the analyses inside: affective commitment, values commitment, continuance commitment and necessity commitment. The result of the analysis of the pointers of job satisfaction indicated four factors: extrinsic, motivations, relation with the friends and auto-accomplishment. To deal with the data the relation between job satisfaction and organizational commitment it was used technique of multiple regression. The correlation between commitment and satisfaction was satisfactory, detaching the affective commitment with bigger index of correlation, followed of the affective one

Representações parentais e traços disfuncionais de personalidade: Um estudo com uma amostra de estudantes universitários

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar a relação entre representações parentais e traços disfuncionais de personalidade em sujeitos adultos da população não-clínica. Participaram 177 estudantes universitários, dos quais 104 eram mulheres e 73 eram homens, com idades entre os 18 e os 43 anos (M=22,66; DP=4,054). Foi aplicado o Millon Clínical Multiaxial Inventory-II, o Parental Bonding Instrument e o Object Relations lnventory. De acordo com os resultados, existe uma relação entre alguns tipos de traços disfuncionais da personalidade e experiências disruptivas na relação precoce com ambas as figuras parentais, como a falta de autonomia psicológica e instrumental sentida, e com determinados elementos das representações das figuras parentais, como a perceção de uma menor benevolência ou maior punição. Encontram-se também diferenças entre sujeitos do sexo masculino e do sexo feminino no que respeita ao padrão específico de correlações entre traços de personalidade e características da relação e das representações parentais. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this work was to study the relation between parental representations and dysfunctional personality traits in adult subjects from a non-clinical population. Participants were 177 university students, 104 of which were female and 73 were men. Ages ranged from 18 to 43 years old (M=22,66; DP=4,054). The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II, the Parental Bonding lnstrument and the Object Relations Inventory were administered. According to the results, there is a relation between certain types of dysfunctional personality traits and disruptive experiences in the early relations with both caregivers, like a perceived lack of psychological and instrumental autonomy, and with certain elements of parental representations, like the perception of less benevolence or a more punitive attitude. Differences between male and female subjects, concerning the specific pattern of correlations between personality traits and parental relations' and representations' characteristics, were also obtained.

Comportamentos agressivos entre pares e padrões de vinculação : Um estudo com jovens adolescentes

Embora de natureza radicalmente distinta, bullying e vinculação são fenómenos de natureza relacional. Se o bullying é descrito como um abuso sistemático de poder, que ocorre intencional e repetidamente entre pares, a vinculação refere-se ao estabelecimento de laços afectivos fortes com determinadas pessoas significativas, especialmente em momentos percepcionados como perigosos. A investigação, apesar do reduzido número de estudos, mostra uma relação entre estes conceitos. A agressão instrumental interpares parece estar relacionada com vinculações inseguras. O objectivo deste estudo é compreender a relação entre o bullying e os padrões de vinculação. Foi realizado em três escolas da zona de Évora, com os alunos do 7° ano (237 alunos). Utilizaram-se dois questionários de auto-relato: o QEVE - Questionário de Exclusão Social e Violência Escolar e o IVIA - Inventário sobre Vinculação para a Infância e a Adolescência. Os resultados deste estudo corroboram os estudos anteriores, relativamente aos comportamentos agressivos entre pares. Mostram que existem correlações estatisticamente significativas entre as dimensões da vitimação e da agressão e, ainda, verificou-se que a vinculação segura parece funcionar como um factor protector para a vitimação e a agressividade e a vinculação ansiosa parece relacionar-se com a vitimação. ABSTRACT: Although radically different, bullying and attachment are relational in nature phenomena. lf the bullying is described as a systematic abuse of power, which is intentionally and repeatedly between peers, attachment refers to the establishment of strong emotional ties with certain significant others, especially at times perceived as dangerous. The research, despite the small number of studies show a relationship between these concepts. Instrumental peer aggression seems to be associated with insecure attachments. The aim of this study is to understand the relationship between bullying and patterns of binding. lt was conducted in three schools in the district of Évora with the students of 7th Grade (237 students). We used two questionnaires self-report: the QEVE - Questionnaire of Social Exclusion and Violence in School and IVIA - lnventory on Attachment for Children and Adolescents. These results corroborate previous studies, for aggressive behavior among peers. Show that there are statistically significant correlations between the dimensions of victimization and aggression and also found that a secure attachment appears to be a protective factor for victimization and aggression and anxious attachment seems to relate to the victimization.

Da colônia ao shopping: um estudo da evolução tipológica da arquitetura hospitalar em Natal

A conceptual discussion on architectural type and its role in theory and practice supports the construction of an analytical tool used for recognizing the typological evolution of hospital architecture in Western societies. The same tool is applied to analyze the typological evolution of hospital architecture in Natal, Brazil, through a sample of eighteen hospitals built in the city since the beginnings of 20th century. The conclusion is that typological evolution in Natal is almost the same as occidental one, except for a few singularities that can be explained by local social and economic development

Aspetos da comunicação não-verbal usados pelo psicomotricista para o sucesso da sua intervenção terapêutica – um estudo de caso

Resumo: A psicomotricidade tem como objeto de estudo o corpo e as suas relações com o exterior. Inserido num determinado contexto ambiental, o corpo é um dos veículos centrais na transmissão de mensagens. O conhecimento do psicomotricista, acerca da utilização e identificação dos aspetos não-verbais, é determinante para melhorar a qualidade da intervenção, especialmente quando estamos perante a psicomotricidade com enfâse na qualidade da relação. Neste trabalho temos como objetivo conhecer a ocorrência não-verbal, toque e sua tipologia, a partir de Watson (1975), operada nos braços de uma criança, com paralisia cerebral (hemiparesia direita), pelo psicomotricista durante a sua intervenção. Esta análise consiste num estudo de caso realizado através da visualização sistemática e sistematizada de um vídeo durante uma sessão, na qual o psicomotricista interage com a criança com fins terapêuticos. A recolha de dados foi feita por vídeo-gravação e transcritos, verbalmente, para o papel e analisados e categorizados, posteriormente. Os resultados obtidos levaram-nos a concluir que o psicomotricista utilizou todos os aspetos não-verbais relacionados com o toque nos braços. A maioria destes toques foi do tipo Instrumental/Afetivo. Emergiram dados os quais se revelaram pertinentes como contributos para a melhoria da qualidade da intervenção, quando conhecidos e utilizados, adaptadamente, pelo psicomotricista.Abstract: The object of psychomotricity is the study of the body and its relationships with the outside world. Within a certain environmental context, the body is one of the central vehicles in the transmission of messages. The psychomotricity therapist's knowledge about the use and identification of non-verbal aspects is the key to improve the efficiency of the intervention, especially when we face psychomotricity with emphasis on the quality of the relationship . The aim of this work is to reckon the non-verbal happening of touch and its typology, according to Watson(1975), operated by the psychomotricist on the arms of a child with cerebral palsy,(right hemiparesis) during his/her intervention. This analysis consists of a case study based on the systematic and systematized viewing of a video made during one session, in which the therapist interacts with the child for therapeutic purposes. The collection of data was made through vídeo recording and verbally set down transcrptions for later analysis and categorization. The results obtained let us conclude that the psychomotricity therapist used all the non-verbal aspects related to arm touching . Most of these touches were of the instrumental/affective kind. Data have emerged that were considered relevant as contributing to improve the quality of the intervention if they are known and aproppriately used by the psychomotricity therapist.

O Códice CLI/1-4 nº 8 da Biblioteca Pública de Évora e a execução instrumental organística no contexto cisterciense

O repertório instrumental que nos foi legado pela história em registo escrito apresenta uma série de particularidades que constituem o cerne do presente texto. O Códice CLI/1-4 nº 8 da Biblioteca Pública de Évora, já antes sumariamente identificado por José Augusto Alegria na sua catalogação do fundo musical desta instituição, constitui-se como um bom paradigma a esse título. Apelidado por este estudioso como «Colecção de papeis com acompanhamentos de órgão para vários ofícios…» foi identificada a sua proveniência do Mosteiro de S. Bento de Cástris, sendo, por conseguinte, imediata a sua inscrição na Ordem de Cister. O conteúdo do códice, cuja datação remonta muito provavelmente às décadas iniciais do século XIX, é formado por acompanhamentos de órgão para várias rubricas litúrgicas, em muitos casos entrecortados de versos destinados e este instrumento. Nele se incluem harmonizações de rubricas litúrgicas, constituídas essencialmente por hinos, antífonas, rubricas do Ofício (Vésperas, Terças e Matinas), bem como Missas ou excertos de Missas. Um dos seus aspectos mais aliciantes reside todavia no facto de incluir versos para órgão, cuja expressão mundana se encontra para lá da identidade devocional à qual, habitualmente, associamos este género. Constituindo-se como um conjunto de cadernos destinados à execução prática, o Códice CLI/1-4 nº 8 é um produto directo do quotidiano das monjas tangedoras de S. Bento de Cástris e à sua didáctica enquanto organistas. O presente estudo pretende assim trazer a lume uma série de novos dados que nos irão ajudar a conhecer as práticas musicais neste mosteiro cisterciense e com isso a repensar a problemática particular da música sacra portuguesa em inícios de oitocentos.

Estudo vídeo-polissonográfico em recém-nascidos de termo pequenos para a idade gestacional

Video-polygraphic-EEG studies were performed in the first 24 life-hours of 26 healthy full-term newborns without perinatal injuries. The neurological examination and cranial ultrasonography were normal. The newborns were divided into two groups: one, with full-term appropriate - birth weight 11 newborns (control group ) and the other with full-term low-birth weight 15 newborns. Thirteen newborns of the second group had video-polygraphic-EEG study abnormalities. The most frequent abnormalities were found in 11 cases, as far as sleep architecture is concerned. Also, when compared with the control group, 8 cases of an excessive amount of startles and 2 cases of low behavior activities were found. The results demonstrate the usefulness of video-polygraphic-EEG study in the full-term newborns with intra-uterine growth retard. This examination was sensitive to detect behavior, sleep architecture and EEG standard differences in the low birth-weight newborns as to the control group.

Síndrome de Rett: estudo retrospectivo e prospectivo de 28 pacientes

From November 1982 to May 1999, 28 children with Rett syndrome were followed-up for a medium period of 6 years and 2 months. Regression of developmental milestones started at the age between 5 and 20 months. Nineteen cases of typical Rett syndrome had uneventful pre and perinatal periods, loss of previously acquired purposeful hand skills, mental and motor regression and developed hand stereotypies; sixteen had head growth deceleration and 12 gait apraxia. Nine patients were atypical cases, 2 formes frustres, 2 congenital, 3 with early seizure onset, 1 preserved speech and 1 male. Epilepsy was present in 21 patients, predominantly partial seizures and the drug of choise was carbamazepine (15 patients). In the initial evaluation most patients were distributed on Stages II and III and on follow-up on Stages III and IV. Three children died.

Síndrome de Down e Moyamoya: estudo através de metanálise

We present a clinic-epidemiological study of two patients and meta-analysis (period 1977-2000 ) of the co-morbidity of the Down syndrome (DS) and moyamoya syndrome (MMS). Among the 42 patients listed in this survey, meta-analysis permitted to find the highest number of publications by researchers from Japan and United States, followed by Brazil and Italy; prevalence of cerebrovascular disease in suckling and pre school children; first symptomatology was hemiparesis (78.6%), speech disorders (26.2%); ischemic infarction (76.2%); recurring ischemic episodes (62%); bilateral impairment (83.3%). This analysis led to the conclusion that in the clinic-neurological investigation of DS patients with acute hemiparesis episodes, MMS should be included as the most probable diagnosis.

Estudo teórico da interação existente entre a artemisinina e o heme

The purpose of this work is to study theoretically stereoelectronic aspects of the interaction between heme and artemisinin in the transitional heme-artemisinin complex. Through semi-empirical calculations using the PM3 method, the potential energy barrier of artemisinin rotation relative to heme in the heme-artemisinin complex was studied in vacuum and in the partially solvated state. The minimum heat of formation obtained for the complex with and without water molecules is -702.39 and -100.86 kcal mol-1, respectively, which corresponds to the dihedral angle C-Fe-O1-O2 of 43.93º and 51.90º around the iron-oxygen O1 bond, respectively. The water molecules bind to heme via 13 hydrogen bonds and O-H O and 6 C-H O interactions, which accounts for -67.23 kcal mol-1. It is observed that the inclusion of water molecules does not affect significantly the stability of the heme-artemisinin complex.

Espectroscopia de Ressonância Magnética Nuclear de 13C no estudo de rotas biossintéticas de produtos naturais

During the last five decades, as a result of an interaction between natural product chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology and spectroscopy, scientists reached an extraordinary level of comprehension about the natural processes by which living organisms build up complex molecules. In this context, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, allied with isotopic labeling, played a determinant role. Nowadays, the widespread use of modern NMR techniques allows an even more detailed picture of the biochemical steps by accurate manipulation of the atomic nuclei. This article focuses on the development of such techniques and their impact on biosynthetic studies.

Estudo da capacidade de complexação e sua relação com algumas variáveis ambientais em cinco represas do Rio Tietê/Brasil

The copper and cadmium complexation properties in natural sediment suspensions of reservoirs of the Tietê River were studied using the solid membrane copper and cadmium ion-selective electrodes. The complexation and the average conditional stability constants were determined under equilibrium conditions at pH=6.00 ± 0.05 in a medium of 1.0 mol L-1 sodium nitrate, using the Scatchard method. The copper and cadmium electrodes presented Nernstian behavior from 1x10-6 to 1x10-3 mol L-1 of total metal concentration. Scatchard graphs suggest two classes of binding sites for both metals. A multivariate study was done to correlate the reservoirs and the variables: complexation properties, size, total organic carbon, volatile acid sulfide, E II and pH.

Efeito das interações hiperconjugativas na constante de acoplamento ¹J CH da hexametilenotetramina e do adamantano: estudo teórico e experimental

The objective of this work was to determine the influence of hyperconjugative interactions on the ¹J CH coupling constant for hexamethylenetetramine (1) and adamantane (2). For this end, theoretical and experimental ¹J CH were obtained and hyperconjugative interactions were investigated using NBO. It was observed, theoretically and experimentally, that ¹J CH in 1 is 20 Hz larger than in 2, mainly due to the nN®s*C-H hyperconjugative interaction. This interaction occurs only in 1, with an energy of 9.30 kcal mol-1. It increases the s-character of the carbon atom in the C-H bond and the occupancy of the sigma*C-H orbital in (1).
