Mediação infocomunicacional no contexto da encontrabilidade da informação: uma análise do processo de autoarquivamento no Repositório Institucional da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

A encontrabilidade da informação é um elemento que se situa entre as funcionalidades de um ambiente informacional analógico, digital ou híbrido e as características dos sujeitos informacionais. Deriva da mediação infocomunicacional, visto que está relacionada aos processos que compõem o fluxo infocomunicacional, desde a produção até a apropriação da informação. Considerando que os profissionais da informação, de informática e os próprios usuários de ambientes informacionais são mediadores, percebe-se a influência de suas ações mediadoras na encontrabilidade da informação. Com o objetivo de compreender como a mediação infocomunicacional praticada por esses mediadores pode influenciar a encontrabilidade da informação em ambientes informacionais, foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográfica, descritiva e documental, com abordagem qualitativa, o que viabilizou uma discussão entre os conceitos estudados, tornando possível realizar a análise do processo de autoarquivamento no Repositório Institucional da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. A partir da técnica de observação foram mapeadas as ações praticadas pelos diferentes mediadores no referido ambiente, tendo como base as dimensões top-down e bottom-up do Modelo de Encontrabilidade da Informação (MEI). A partir do mapeamento, foram identificadas as ações infocomunicacionais e tecnológicas realizadas pelos diferentes mediadores no referido Repositório, constatando a hipótese de que suas ações interferem significativamente na encontrabilidade da informação.

Alinhamento da produção científica do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Medicina Tropical da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco às necessidades sociais de saúde tropical em Pernambuco

Avalia a contribuição da produção científica do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Medicina Tropical da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (2004 a 2012) às necessidades sociais em Saúde Tropical do estado de Pernambuco. Para isto, utiliza como referência o Plano Estadual de Saúde (2012-2015) desenvolvido pelo Governo Estadual de Pernambuco. Sobre o aspecto metodológico, este estudo se caracteriza como descritivo, e utilizou-se dos fundamentos da Cientometria para medir se as publicações dos pesquisadores permanentes do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Medicina Tropical da UFPE estavam alinhadas às problemáticas descritas no Plano Estadual de Saúde. As etapas metodológicas foram: a) levantamento de dados da formação e da produção científica dos pesquisadores na Plataforma Lattes do CNPq; b) identificação temática da produção científica realizada pelos pesquisadores envolvidos e mapeamento das doenças tropicais citadas no Plano Estadual de Saúde; e c) construção e aplicação de entrevistas realizadas junto aos pesquisadores por meio de questionário. Como principais resultados, percebe-se que as motivações de pesquisa são: a) adequação da produção às linhas de pesquisa estabelecidas pelo Programa, e b) a oportunidade de proporcionar benefícios para a sociedade, constatando assim, que as motivações para a realização das pesquisas são sociais, tendo pouca influência do segmento privado. Sobre o alinhamento dos temas produzidos com as necessidades sociais em Saúde Tropical do estado de Pernambuco, verifica-se que o programa vem ampliando o escopo do conceito de doença tropical para doenças infecciosas, e por isto, o HIV aparece no topo dos temas mais representativos.

Literacia e gênero: a mulher no ensino de história

A presente pesquisa foi iniciada pela compreensão que, mesmo com os significativos avanços ocorridos nos últimos anos, relacionados aos debates de gênero, mulheres, feminismo, faz-se necessário, ainda, que educadoras/es consigam estabelecer diálogos nas salas de aula sobre o tema, eis que, ou está ausente ou é muito pouco debatido no âmbito das escolas. Pretende-se estabelecer uma relação entre o Ensino de História e o gênero/mulher no contexto da História. Para tanto, foi utilizado o conceito de literacia histórica, o qual aborda a História em múltiplas possibilidades e definições sobre como ela (História) pode ser “lida”, uma alfabetização histórica. Neste sentido espera-se que a abordagem de uma História local seja percebida como inter-relacionada com a História global. Para que tal propósito seja alcançado, serão utilizados os paradigmas da Educação Histórica e o conceito de Teoria Social. A partir da investigação das memórias de professoras e professores de História sobre a sua formação, busca-se identificar as influências que sofreram no meio escolar, e o quanto significou, para elas e para eles, estas nas suas vidas, os aprendizados e as dificuldades encontradas. Levando-se em conta que muitos trabalhos fundamentados em estudos sobre mulheres têm sido realizados por alunas/os da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – FURG para a obtenção da titulação em vários níveis de formação acadêmica, na área de História, realizou-se um levantamento inicial, a fim de encontrar mulheres que escreveram sobre mulheres no Centro de Documentação Histórica Prof. Hugo Alberto Pereira Neves (CDH-FURG). Buscou-se também uma dissertação, resultante de curso realizado na Universidade Federal de Pelotas – UFPel. A partir da identificação de algumas mulheres que escreveram sobre mulheres e que se encontram atuando como docentes em sala de aula, ou em outros espaços onde desenvolvem atividades correlatas, idealizou-se conhecer como estão sendo abordadas, se o são, as questões relacionadas às mulheres no contexto em que se encontram essas profissionais. Por fim, foram realizadas entrevistas e buscou-se observar as coincidências e/ou divergências entre elas no tocante ao tema gênero/mulheres, no espaço escolar ou onde atuam.

Processo de planejamento estratégico em universidade pública: o caso da Universidade Federal do Pará

The goal of this research is to check if the strategic planning developed between 2001 and 2009 into the State University of Para (Universidade Federal do Pará - UFPA) was consolidated into its Academic Centers as a management practice. To this end, we identified the planning formalization degree of the Academic Centers, the conceived tools for the planning, the conception and the methodological process used in the tools elaboration, as also its implementation. The research used a qualitative approach: it is descriptive and it uses the case study technique. The data were gathered from primary and secondary sources, through bibliography, documents, and field researches through semi-structure interviews. The analysis and data interpretation were done by each investigated Academic Center from the analytics categories guided by the specifics goals. We used theoretic fundamental based principles and the university as a study empiric reference based on its structure analysis, organizational processes and institutional strategic plan. We inspected how the strategic planning process was developed throughout the fixed period and how the investigated Academic Centers are from the collected documents and interviews. The theoretical foundation was built from three axis: the Brazilian undergraduate and posgraduate education system; the university itself including its singularity and complexity as an organization; and the planning as a strategic management process. The main results show us that the UFPA has updated regulatory milestones, presenting organizational structure, laws, instructions, manuals and deployed management model that give the strategic planning development conditions beyond its administration, i. e., into its Academic Centers. The centers also present those established milestones and develop the basic planning processes of the institution. Those processes are conceived based on the institutional strategic planning and the managers mainly use the procedural orientation defined by the university management, from where the conceptual foundation is originated and propagated. According to the literature and to the research done in this work, we can conclude that the Academic Centers from the UFPA developed the strategic planning practice. This planning is organized and founded and guided the plans and decisions which avoided the disordered management and, according to the managers, allowed the advances and performance improvement. We can conclude that the UFPA built an important foundation with respect to the management professionalization. On the other hand, we can not conclude that the management practice is consolidated since there are weaknesses into the structuring of the technical teams and there is not any management tool for the implementation of the elaborated plans

Fatores críticos de sucesso como antecedentes da aceitação de um sistema de informação em uma universidade federal

In recent decades the public sector comes under pressure in order to improve its performance. The use of Information Technology (IT) has been a tool increasingly used in reaching that goal. Thus, it has become an important issue in public organizations, particularly in institutions of higher education, determine which factors influence the acceptance and use of technology, impacting on the success of its implementation and the desired organizational results. The Technology Acceptance Model - TAM was used as the basis for this study and is based on the constructs perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. However, when it comes to integrated management systems due to the complexity of its implementation,organizational factors were added to thus seek further explanation of the acceptance of such systems. Thus, added to the model five TAM constructs related to critical success factors in implementing ERP systems, they are: support of top management, communication, training, cooperation, and technological complexity (BUENO and SALMERON, 2008). Based on the foregoing, launches the following research problem: What factors influence the acceptance and use of SIE / module academic at the Federal University of Para, from the users' perception of teachers and technicians? The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of organizational factors, and behavioral antecedents of behavioral intention to use the SIE / module academic UFPA in the perspective of teachers and technical users. This is applied research, exploratory and descriptive, quantitative with the implementation of a survey, and data collection occurred through a structured questionnaire applied to a sample of 229 teachers and 30 technical and administrative staff. Data analysis was carried out through descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling with the technique of partial least squares (PLS). Effected primarily to assess the measurement model, which were verified reliability, convergent and discriminant validity for all indicators and constructs. Then the structural model was analyzed using the bootstrap resampling technique like. In assessing statistical significance, all hypotheses were supported. The coefficient of determination (R ²) was high or average in five of the six endogenous variables, so the model explains 47.3% of the variation in behavioral intention. It is noteworthy that among the antecedents of behavioral intention (BI) analyzed in this study, perceived usefulness is the variable that has a greater effect on behavioral intention, followed by ease of use (PEU) and attitude (AT). Among the organizational aspects (critical success factors) studied technological complexity (TC) and training (ERT) were those with greatest effect on behavioral intention to use, although these effects were lower than those produced by behavioral factors (originating from TAM). It is pointed out further that the support of senior management (TMS) showed, among all variables, the least effect on the intention to use (BI) and was followed by communications (COM) and cooperation (CO), which exert a low effect on behavioral intention (BI). Therefore, as other studies on the TAM constructs were adequate for the present research. Thus, the study contributed towards proving evidence that the Technology Acceptance Model can be applied to predict the acceptance of integrated management systems, even in public.

Autoeficácia, características sociodemográficas e capacitação profissional: um estudo com servidores de uma Universidade Federal

Self-efficacy, the construct developed by Albert Bandura in 1977 and widely studied around the world, means the individual's belief in his own capacity to successfully perform a certain activity. This study aims to determine the degree of association between sociodemographic characteristics and professional training to the levels of Self-Efficacy at Work (SEW) of the Administrative Assistants in a federal university. This is a descriptive research submitted to and approved by the Ethics Committee of UFRN. The method of data analysis, in quantitative nature, was accomplished with the aid of the statistical programs R and Minitab. The instrument used in research was a sociodemographic data questionnaire, variables of professional training and the General Perception of Self-efficacy Scale (GPSES), applied to the sample by 289 Assistants in Administration. Statistical techniques for data analysis were descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, reliability test (Cronbach's alpha), and test of significance (Pearson). Results show a sociodemographic profile of Assistants in Administration of UFRN with well-distributed characteristics, with 48.4% men and 51.6% female; 59.9% of them were aged over 40 years, married (49.3%), color or race white (58%) and Catholics (67.8%); families are composed of up to four people (75.8%) with children (59.4%) of all age groups; the occupation of the mothers of these professionals is mostly housewives (51.6%) with high school education up to parents (72%) and mothers (75.8%). Assistants in Administration have high levels of professional training, most of them composed two groups of servers: the former, recently hired public servants (30.7%) and another with long service (59%), the majority enter young in career and it stays until retirement, 72.4% of these professionals have training above the minimum requirement for the job. The analysis of SEW levels shows medium to high levels for 72% of assistants in administration; low SEWclassified people have shown a high average of 2.7, considered close to the overall mean presented in other studies, which is 2.9. The cluster analysis has allowed us to say that the characteristics of the three groups (Low, Medium and High SEW) are similar and can be found in the three levels of SEW representatives with all the characteristics investigated. The results indicate no association between the sociodemographic variables and professional training to the levels of self-efficacy at work of Assistants in Administration of UFRN, except for the variable color or race. However, due to the small number of people who declared themselves in color or black race (4% of the sample), this result can be interpreted as mere coincidence or the black people addressed in this study have provided a sense of efficacy higher than white and brown ones. The study has corroborated other studies and highlighted the subjectivity of the self-efficacy construct. They are needed more researches, especially with public servants for the continuity and expansion of studies on the subject, making it possible to compare and confirm the results

Modelo de decisão multicritério para seleções interciclo das universidades novas: estudo na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

The discussions wherein develop proposals for university reform in Brazil include, among other things, the conception of the university titled "New University", whose structural origin comes from the bill of higher education reform and unification of the foundations of education European upper (Bologna process). At its core, the Bologna process has imposed a series of transformations, among which, the promotion of mobility, as a stimulus to interinstitutional cooperation to enable an better and bigger qualification of the students. Nevertheless, what we see is that this point is one of the main points made flawed by Brazilian institutions that have adopted this model of higher education. An example is the Bachelor of Science and Technology - BC&T, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN, where there are problems of the internal order, represented by the problem of the reusing of the disciplines, such also of external order, in cases of transfers interinstitutional. Because of this, and knowing that this is a typical problem in which multiple criteria are involved, the aim of this study is to propose a multicriteria model for selection of interciclo of the BC&T of the UFRN which addresses the issue of mobility. For this, this study was of exploratory and study case nature, use as tools of data collection, the bibliographic and documentary research, as well as semi-structured interviews. For the elaboration of the model, were used the five phases most commonly used in the modeling of problems in operational research in a sample of 91 students of BC&T. As a result, we obtained a model that addresses the issue of internal and external mobility of the school and that, moreover, was also more robust and fair than the current model of BC&T and also what is used in other courses of the UFRN, taking into consideration the expected results by the decision makers

Avaliação Pós-Ocupação da iluminação natural das salas dos setores de aulas teóricas da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

The objective of this study is to assess the natural light of the classrooms sectors, at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. It was applied the Post-Occupation Evaluation technique, by using questionnaires and brightness levels measurements inside the classrooms. In order to check the users satisfaction degree, it was initially done a general approach on the related aspects to natural light: their characteristics, availability, sources, opening systems and evaluating tools. It was also determined the necessary brightness levels for the activities development in the classroom and the Post-Occupation Evaluation technique used in the search analyses. Then, it was made the UFRN Campus` characterization; the models` definition which formed the data collection basis; the detailing of the procedures used in the research, the processing description and the data analysis. Subsequently, the results that clarify the issues raised were shown through quantitative and / or qualitative data analyses. This research notes a high level of satisfaction by the users, despite some problems such as the reflections occurrence on the board, the lack of uniformity and, occasionally, the brightness low levels

Gestão compartilhada de P&D em petróleo:a interação entre a Petrobrás e a Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

This work addresses the relationship between University-Firm aims to understand the model of shared management of R&D in petroleum of Petrobras with UFRN. This is a case study which sought to investigate whether the model of cooperation established by the two institutions brings innovation to generate technical-scientific knowledge and contribute to the coordination with other actors in the promotion of technological innovation. In addition to desk research the necessary data for analysis were obtained by sending questionnaires to the coordinators of projects in R&D at the company and university. Also, interviews were conducted with subjects who participated in the study since its inception to the present day. This case study were analysed through the Resource-Based View and Interorganizational Networks theory. The sample data also stands that: searches were aligned to the strategic planning and that 29% of R&D projects have been successful on the scope of the proposed objectives (of which 11% were incorporated into business processes); which was produced technical and scientific knowledge caracterized by hundreds of national and international publications; thesis, dissertations, eleven patents, and radical and incremental innovations; the partnership has also brought benefits to the academic processes induced by the improved infrastructure UFRN and changing the "attitude" of the university (currently with national prominence in research and staff training for the oil sector). As for the model, the technical point of view, although it has some problems, it follows that it is appropriate. From the viewpoint of the management model is criticized for containing an excess of bureaucracy. From the standpoint of strategic allocation of resources from the legal framework needs to be reassessed, because it is focused only on the college level and it is understood that should also reach the high school given the new reality of the oil sector in Brazil. For this it is desirable to add the local government to this partnership. The set of information leads to the conclusion that the model is identified and named as a innovation of organizational arrangement here known as Shared Management of R&D in petroleum of Petrobras with UFRN. It is said that the shared management model it is possible to exist, which is a simple and effective way to manage partnerships between firms and Science and Technology Institutions. It was created by contingencies arising from regulatory stand points and resource dependence. The partnership is the result of a process of Convergence, Construction and Evaluation supported by the tripod Simplicity, Systematization and Continuity, important factors for its consolidation. In practice an organizational arrangement was built to manage innovative university-industry partnership that is defined by a dyadic relationship on two levels (institutional and technical, therefore governance is hybrid), by measuring the quarterly meetings of systematic and standardized financial contribution proportional to the advancement of research. These details have led to the establishment of a point of interaction between the scientific and technological-business dimension, demystifying they are two worlds apart

Proposta de modelo de interação da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte e empresas do setor de petróleo

Operational procedures may negatively interfere in negotiation and execution regarding universities and business companies. In some cases it may even derail business interaction. Thus, aiming to overcome this and other barriers a university-industry interaction model was structured. The model enhances the appropriation of technological solutions on behalf of enterprises, as well as aim to improve the quality of teaching and research done at the university. In order to conduct a case study, sampling considering the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) was made as well as the Oil and Gas sector. For data collection questionnaires, classroom observation, document analysis, semi-structured interviews were used. The study describes the companies as well as the internal organization of UFRN in their interaction context. The diagnosis related to past interactions as well as the expectations of the companies and the university s internal subjects regarding the university-industry relationship were also studied. Thus, specific questionnaires were applied for the three types of groups: researchers, managers and business companies. These subjects pointed out that the great deal of barriers they identified were related to issues regarding the university internal management. Given these barriers, the critical factors were then identified in order to overcome this reality. Among the nine critical factors only one belongs to the macro environment, while the remaining factors are related to organizational issues present in the university context. It was possible to formulate a university-business interaction model one the researched focused on the case study results and contribution from a theoretical framework that was enabled trough literature review. The model considers all business collaboration mechanisms; it focuses on a particular strategic productive sector and provides a co-evolution vision over time, according to the sector´s development strategy. The need for institutionalizing the relationship with the companies involved is pointed out. The proposed model considers all the critical factors identified by the research; it aims long-term relationship with the company and integrates teaching, research and extension actions. The model implementation was also considered. It was seen that it must be done in three phases. The phases will be defined by the level of maturity in the relationship between the university and the companies. Thus, a framework was developed in order to assess the interaction level regarding company institutionalization. Whilst structuring the model was a concern with replication came up. It was pointed out that this model should not only serve to this specific case study situation. So the final result is a model of university-industry relationship appropriate in the first instance, for UFRN, but has applicability, in general, to any Brazilian university

MUDANÇAS NA HIDROGRAFIA DA BACIA DO ARROIO CASTELHANO, RS, BRASIL, ENTRE AS DÉCADAS DE 1980 E 2010

Este trabalho avalia as intervenções humanas na rede de drenagem da Bacia hidrográfica do arroio Castelhano, RS, Brasil. Nesta bacia de 675,3 km2 e com 66% de sua área no município de Venâncio Aires, tradicionalmente ocupada por pequenas propriedades sem maiores intervenções para o aproveitamento ou o descarte dos recursos hídricos, a modernização agrícola e o crescimento urbano a partir da década de1970, começaram a demandar controles dos regimes hidrológicos. Registros documentaram obras do PROVÁRZEAS e do DNOS, nas décadas de 1980 e 1990 e a análise em SIG de mapas da década de 1970 e imagem de satélite de 2007 mostrou que a hidrografia foi toda rearranjada: o arroio Grande I teve a extensão do seu baixo curso reduzida em 23%, enquanto o arroio Castelhano sofreu uma redução de 30%, devido a canalizações na sua várzea. A intervenção humana nos canais de drenagem alterou a dinâmica do curso principal, de tal forma que concordamos com Pigeon (2005) quando afirma que as sociedades são apenas parcialmente vítimas dos perigos naturais, pois elas preparam consideravelmente seu próprio risco.
