Over the recent human history within the last centuries the environmental degradation has been accumulating and growing rampantly causing effects today easily perceived by all. Because of this, today we can say that there is almost a consensus among the world population's concern with the environment in order to seek to minimize these effects immediately in addition to not aggravate the situation for future generations. Thus today it is common to find a wide range of products with this ideal of sustainable commitment in the various commercial areas. The construction industry has a responsibility to be a major cause of these impacts to the environment, so it is also one of the main vectors able to mitigate the degradation of the environment. In order to encourage, oversee and promote the sustainable attitudes within the construction area emerged environmental certifications. In this work it's exposed some of the major certifications for civilian buildings, highlighting the Selo Azul da Caixa that appears as a good choice focused on the Brazilian reality

This paper presents a study based on bibliographic research on LTE technology, chosen for the fourth generation of mobile phones, and the current status of implementation of 4G network in Brazil. The change in user behavior, which now uses data over the voice services, requires transmission networks to be increasingly robust and fast to enable the viewing of videos and use of other platforms that require internet connection. The retrospective of the development of mobile technologies, from 1G up to 4G that is currently used, shows the long road until it came to appliances and how the phone is used nowadays. Finally, the popularity of smartphones and hence the growing number of people with access to 4G networks, demanded new researchs for the development of future generations technologies in order to achieve the demand for speed enabling significant changes in user experience

The principles and dimensions of sustainability concept is increasingly gaining ground within the building industry. Over the past decades, its applicability within the different environments and for different buildings typologies have been study to attend better the present populations and future generations. It is within this scenario that international certifications started to appear. The most famous and developed one being LEED certification system. In Brazil, as a support to the certification and also sustainability practices and conducts, was founded the Brazilian Council for Sustainable Construction (CBCS). The council and the certifications have the objective to disseminate and generate awareness to reduce energy and water consumption, aiming for life quality. Many constructions around de country have already the international certification, which also boost the rise of national certifications with specific criteria for the national context. However, such certificates are mainly destiny for medium and high standard buildings, often as a commercial advantage to explain the high costs. The purpose of this work is to be able to define what is being sustainable in the construction industry, taking for basis, LEED and CBCS. In addition, since there is a significant increase in the production of Housing Social Interest, the other angles will be to analyze how to apply the practices and sustainable technologies for low-cost projects with the objective to balance the three dimensions of sustainability: environmental, social and economics.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To describe a research-based global curriculum in speech-language pathology and audiology that is part of a funded cross-linguistic consortium among 2 U.S. and 2 Brazilian universities. Method: The need for a global curriculum in speechlanguage pathology and audiology is outlined, and different funding sources are identified to support development of a global curriculum. The U.S. Department of Education’s Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE), in conjunction with the Brazilian Ministry of Education (Fundacao Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior; CAPES), funded the establishment of a shared research curriculum project, “Consortium for Promoting Cross-Linguistic Understanding of Communication Disabilities in Children” for East Tennessee State University and the University of Northern Iowa and 2 Brazilian universities (Universidade Federal de Santa Maria and Universidade de São Paulo-Baurú). Results: The goals and objectives of the research-based global curriculum are summarized, and a description of an Internet-based course, “Different Languages, One World,” is provided Conclusion: Partnerships such as the FIPSE–CAPES consortium provide a foundation for training future generations of globally and research-prepared practitioners in speechlanguage pathology and audiology.

[ES]La Epigrafía es una ciencia historiográfica indispensable en la formación de los historiadores que, desde hace siglos, forma parte de las mal denominadas “ciencias auxiliares” de la Historia. En este trabajo se analiza el concepto de Epigrafía, el método epigráfico y el recorrido historiográfico que esta ciencia ha desarrollado a lo largo de la Historia, con el fin de aproximar al lector a los rudimentos de esta ciencia historiográfica, con especial referencia a la labor investigadora que se ha desarrollado en España. El estudio finaliza con un acercamiento a la situación actual de la Epigrafía, no solo en la formación universitaria de las futuras generaciones de historiadores, sino en el análisis de las líneas de investigación y proyectos más importantes que están en curso en la actualidad.

Photovoltaic (PV) conversion is the direct production of electrical energy from sun without involving the emission of polluting substances. In order to be competitive with other energy sources, cost of the PV technology must be reduced ensuring adequate conversion efficiencies. These goals have motivated the interest of researchers in investigating advanced designs of crystalline silicon solar (c-Si) cells. Since lowering the cost of PV devices involves the reduction of the volume of semiconductor, an effective light trapping strategy aimed at increasing the photon absorption is required. Modeling of solar cells by electro-optical numerical simulation is helpful to predict the performance of future generations devices exhibiting advanced light-trapping schemes and to provide new and more specific guidelines to industry. The approaches to optical simulation commonly adopted for c-Si solar cells may lead to inaccurate results in case of thin film and nano-stuctured solar cells. On the other hand, rigorous solvers of Maxwell equations are really cpu- and memory-intensive. Recently, in optical simulation of solar cells, the RCWA method has gained relevance, providing a good trade-off between accuracy and computational resources requirement. This thesis is a contribution to the numerical simulation of advanced silicon solar cells by means of a state-of-the-art numerical 2-D/3-D device simulator, that has been successfully applied to the simulation of selective emitter and the rear point contact solar cells, for which the multi-dimensionality of the transport model is required in order to properly account for all physical competing mechanisms. In the second part of the thesis, the optical problems is discussed. Two novel and computationally efficient RCWA implementations for 2-D simulation domains as well as a third RCWA for 3-D structures based on an eigenvalues calculation approach have been presented. The proposed simulators have been validated in terms of accuracy, numerical convergence, computation time and correctness of results.

La tesi intitolata "Dalla «postmémoire» alla scrittura dell’oblio nell’opera di Sylvie Germain" si pone l’obbiettivo di analizzare l’opera della scrittrice francese contemporanea Sylvie Germain alla luce di alcune elaborazioni teoriche sulla dialettica memoria/oblio. Basandoci sulle principali teorie-guida relative alla «memoria culturale» teorizzate da Maurice Halbwachs,Pierre Nora,Tzvetan Todorov,Paul Ricoeur e Aleida Assmann,la nostra analisi si è successivamente concentrata sugli studi condotti attorno al concetto di «postmemory» elaborato dalla studiosa americana Marianne Hirsch. Scopo di questa prospettiva critica è quello di leggere l'opera germainiana come espressione di una «affiliative postmemory», risultato della connessione generazionale di coloro che non hanno vissuto direttamente un trauma con la «literal second generation». Attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare che ha coinvolto gli studi sulla memoria culturale in rapporto alla questione del gender, si è inoltre evidenziata la specificità del ruolo rivestito dai personaggi femminili nei romanzi di Germain che assumono un peso determinante nella trasmissione della memoria individuale e collettiva, studio che ci ha permesso di sottolineare la funzione attiva svolta dalle protagoniste delle opere della scrittrice. Nella fase conclusiva sono state esaminate le opere più recenti di Sylvie Germain pubblicate tra il 2008 e il 2011 in cui l’autrice sembra avvertire la necessità di controbilanciare il peso della «troppa memoria» con una giusta dose di oblio. Sono state inoltre affrontate la questione della responsabilità etica e l’idea di debito nei confronti della memoria familiare e collettiva: la scrittura stessa diventa così per Germain lo strumento attraverso il quale l’autrice assume il ruolo di passeuse de mémoire per le generazioni future.
