Avaliação de desempenho para estações de tratamento de efluentes industriais.

O processo produtivo industrial pode gerar uma grande quantidade de efluentes líquidos. Esses efluentes, quando não tratados, podem poluir o solo e a água, podendo causar grande impacto ambiental. Nesse sentido é imprescindível que todas as indústrias que geram efluentes líquidos possuam uma estação de tratamento. Porém, para que a estação esteja permanentemente funcionando de acordo com seu objetivo, essa deve ser rotineiramente avaliada. Dessa forma, a avaliação de desempenho para Estação de Tratamento de Efluentes Industriais (ETEI) se torna uma ferramenta importante para a manutenção da eficiência da estação, pois se justifica por procurar pontos vulneráveis da planta de tratamento fornecendo os subsídios necessários à elaboração do diagnóstico e projetos de adequação dos sistemas, permitindo que os efluentes tratados fiquem em conformidade com as exigências estabelecidas pela legislação ambiental. Neste trabalho, foi elaborada uma proposta metodológica, formada por um roteiro, composto por níveis de questionamentos, que auxilia o avaliador na análise de desempenho da ETEI. Complementando esse roteiro foram elaboradas algumas listas de verificação que contribuem para guiar o avaliador em suas análises. Na elaboração das listas, manuais desenvolvidos em diversos países foram considerados. As listas de verificação incluem perguntas para a avaliação dos dados gerais da indústria, para seu Sistema de Gestão Ambiental (SGA) e para alguns sistemas e unidades operacionais da estação de tratamento. Para exemplificar um dos níveis de questionamento do roteiro foi incluído um estudo de caso, no qual o afluente e o efluente de uma indústria mineradora foram avaliados através da técnica estatística multivariada Análise de Componentes Principais (ACP), para demonstração do desempenho da estação de tratamento. O resultado da avaliação realizada demonstrou um bom desempenho da ETEI em tratar os efluentes líquidos. Espera-se, portanto, que este trabalho seja útil para a avaliação de desempenho em plantas de tratamento de efluentes industriais.

A aplicação das geotecnologias na gestão do esporte: um olhar nos megaeventos esportivos na cidade do Rio de Janeiro

O presente documento apresenta sucintamente os conceitos e definições das geotecnologias, com ênfase em duas ferramentas tecnológicas de suporte a utilização desta metodologia: o geoprocessamento e o sistema de informação geográfica (SIG). A proposta metodológica da utilização da geotecnologias teve como objetivo a observação dos fenômenos dos megaeventos esportivos, que serão sediados na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a Copa do Mundo de Futebol 2014 e os Jogos Olímpicos e Paralímpicos de 2016, bem como atender as exigências de conclusão da tese de doutorado. Para tal, foram realizados dois artigos que observaram o fenômeno megaeventos esportivos no espaço geográfico da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O primeiro verificou as mudanças urbanas com as características socioeconômicas ocorridas nas proximidades do parque olímpico, a partir de uma visão temporal da década de 2000. O segundo artigo observou o espaço geográfico da cidade junto aos sítios olímpicos e as mudanças climáticas que vêm ocorrendo nesses locais, através da observação da evolução da temperatura de superfície com a construção de mapas termais, e de dados meteorológicos.

Dissertação apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Arquitetura e Urbanismo

Processo terminográfico: vertentes conceptual, comunicativa e textual

O presente trabalho de investigação visa propor uma metodologia de elaboração de uma base de dados terminológica destinada a um público não- -especialista, e surge como resposta à necessidade de transmissão de informação ao consumidor, fruto de falta de – ou parca – compreensão do mesmo, relativa a géneros alimentícios com alegações de saúde disponíveis no mercado: os denominados alimentos funcionais. A proposta metodológica de segmentação e caracterização do processo terminográfico, baseada no modelo desenvolvido por Gouadec, para organização do processo global de tradução, encontra-se organizada em três fases – pré-terminografia, terminografia e pós-terminografia –, e compreende três vertentes de análise – uma vertente conceptual, uma vertente comunicativa e uma vertente textual. Em termos gerais, na fase de pré-terminografia é desenvolvido um trabalho preparatório – de familiarização com a área de especialidade e de delimitação da subárea de especialidade, de identificação dos contextos comunicativos e de constituição de corpora especializados – essencial à subsequente fase executória – fase de terminografia – de elaboração do recurso terminológico. A última fase – fase de pós-terminografia – compreende o desenvolvimento de esforços com vista à aplicação industrial do recurso, assim como a sua posterior constante actualização. Constituem objecto de análise do presente trabalho as duas primeiras fases supramencionadas e as etapas que as constituem. A consideração de três vertentes de análise é, de igual forma, relevante.Tal facto é demonstrado ao longo do processo terminográfico, designadamente a nível da análise das repercussões, na fase de terminografia, de cada uma destas vertentes, consideradas já na fase de pré-terminografia. Com este trabalho de investigação pretendemos demonstrar o papel social da Terminologia, no contributo que pode prestar na divulgação de ciência, concretamente através da apresentação de uma proposta de uma base de dados terminológica sobre alimentos funcionais para o consumidor – a AlF Beta. Do mesmo modo, temos por objectivo contribuir a nível da reflexão teórica e metodológica em Terminologia, nomeadamente no que concerne a sua vertente aplicada, através da elaboração de recursos terminológicos destinados a públicos não-especialistas.

Avaluació dels efectes d'un programa d'exercici físic individualitzat sobre la Qualitat de Vida (QdV), la incontinència urinària, la fatiga i la resistència muscular amb malalts del càncer de pròstata

El cáncer de próstata es el cáncer más frecuente en los hombres en muchos países industrializados. Considerando el porcentaje de supervivencia relativa a los 5 años (76,5%) y el estado de morbilidad que generan los tratamientos vigentes, el concepto de Calidad de Vida (CdV) del hombre mayor con cáncer de próstata pasa a ser un objetivo prioritario en la intervención sociosanitaria. Clásicamente la evaluación del impacto que generan los síntomas se ha determinado por la frecuencia y el número de síntomas asociados a la enfermedad y al tratamiento. A nuestro parecer, lo más apropiado es realizar el análisis objetivando además el impacto que generan en la actividad de vida diaria de los afectados. Este artículo tiene un doble objetivo. Primero, evaluar los beneficios de un programa de ejercicio de fuerza adaptado a la enfermedad y al tratamiento de cáncer de próstata. Segundo, identificar los síntomas más relevantes del cáncer de próstata desde la perspectiva del paciente y el impacto que generan a la Calidad de Vida del hombre mayor. La propuesta metodológica se basa en la triangulación metodológica entre métodos secuencial, (cuantitativo y cualitativo). En los resultados se observa una mejora significativa de la Calidad de Vida del enfermo, mediado indirectamente por la mejora del síntoma de incontinencia y el dolor. Así mismo se observa una mejora de la capacidad de la fuerza y resistencia muscular más evidente en las extremidades inferiores. Queda científicamente demostrada la eficacia de un programa de ejercicio físico de fuerza adaptado a los síntomas que genera la enfermedad y el tratamiento de cáncer de próstata en la mejora de la Calidad de Vida de la persona mayor.

As Narrativas Biográficas e as metodologias de investigação-acção sobre a memória e o esquecimento

The integration of Biographical Knowledge in research processes is a methodological proposal of critical empiricism that shifts the centre of production of knowledge to the research objects. We try to show haw Biographical Narratives can allow bypassing the locks and the deviations from real observation by the researcher and focus is work on actors in process. In the critique of the Eurocentric paradigm and is production of hegemonic scientific discourses by Bonaventura Sousa Santos (Santos, 2000) proposes the "south epistemologies" as a research process and the inclusion of knowledge of actors as the research field. In the article we will try to look at the process of production of biographical narratives using the tools of south epistemological proposal. We start reviewing the methodologies working on biographical objects. Then we present the preliminary studies and research we have been doing in communities in southern Mozambique in Djabula Community Centre. These results should be completed with other works on the ground, and now we opened as a collaborative process discussion on African Studies community. The project will be completed in the coming months, through the proposal of a "House of memories" to develop with the local population through articles, stories, sounds and dances that are chosen and will support the chosen narratives by the community. The projects created with local players, from their problems allow rapprochement and dialogue between the different knowledge.

Programa de letramento reescrevendo o futuro : uma experiência de formação de alfabetizadores no Estado do Amazonas

O presente estudo apresenta uma pesquisa qualitativa e tem como objetivo analisar a experiência de formação de alfabetizadores de EJA do Programa de Letramento Reescrevendo o Futuro desenvolvido pela Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, contemplando sua abordagem teórica e prática a fim de verificar se as formações inicial e continuada à luz das concepções construtivistas e sociointeracionistas têm possibilitado a aderência entre a teoria e prática. A proposta de formação do Programa é pautada em uma prática reflexiva e dialógica que toma como ponto de partida os saberes dos professores, que no caso do programa em questão, são na sua maioria acadêmicos dos cursos de pedagogia e normal superior da própria Universidade e de outras instituições de ensino superior. Tomaremos como referenciais para esta pesquisa, as contribuições de Maurice Tardif sobre saberes docentes, a vertente sociológica expressada pelo conceito de habitus, as contribuições de Piaget, Vygotsky e Emília Ferreiro, cujas investigações têm favorecido a consolidação de uma concepção sobre o processo de aprendizagem como resultado da ação do aprendiz e ainda a proposta metodológica de Heloisa Vilas Boas, uma Doutora brasileira em linguística, que nos apresenta uma nova alternativa didática de alfabetização.

Arturo Andrés Roig y el legado de la filosofía “auroral” (In Memorian)

Consideramos que la historización del a priori antropológico y el deíctico “nosotros” como expresión de la pluralidad y diversidad de los sujetos en las Américas, son dos categorías filosóficas que abren la tarea de otra manera de filosofar, desde el otro lado del Atlántico. Estos dos caminos teóricos e históricos –por citar dos ejemplos– constituyen el legado del maestro argentino Arturo Andrés Roig, que permitió recuperar el estudio del pensamiento filosófico ecuatoriano y construir una propuesta metodológica para su periodización.

The Brazilian financial system and the green economy : alignment with sustainable development

Three studies were prepared and are presented in this document. The first, The Brazilian Financial Sector Institutional Context in the Transition to Sustainable Development looks at the legislation, regulation, and public policies aimed at socio-environmental themes related to the financial sector. The second study, Current Financing for the Green Economy in Brazil, provides an initial estimate of the financial assets already allocated to the green economy, as well as a methodological proposal for the survey and monitoring of the respective flow of assets. The third and final study looks at two important segments of the Brazilian economy and their process of transition to a greener economy: renewable energy and agriculture.

A assistência técnica nos habitats do MST e o papel do arquiteto e urbanista

This dissertation is about Architect and town planner inserts in the technical support of the Rural establishment and of the possibilities of changes in their habitat. It also looks for its participation through the production of those spaces with or without its performance through two references cases, in Rio Grande do Norte , one called settlement Eldorado de Carajás and another one called Maria da Paz. At first the process represents the model that was adopted systematically by Incra until the middle of the year 2000 with the sub-contracting of their construction work through small companies. These standardized projects which are executed without registration in the system CONFEA/CREA without demand of professional authorship and of technical responsibility of the work. But the process taken place at Maria da Paz s area was configured as one of the first initiatives that stopped with those practices. Consolidated through a partnership among UFRN MST and INCRA/RN, the Architect s technical support and town planner brought new technician-scientific organization and execution of the soil parcels and its habitat. The participation of UFRN was done through a group of studies in land reform and Habitat (GERAH) being this author and coordinator of the methodological proposal, based on the regressive-progressive method and in the inclusion of the conflict as responsible of the ruptures and transductions both done by Henry Léfèbvre and in the research action approached by Carlos Brandão. Therefore it included the process of social learning and collective production of new knowledge and attitudes in relation to the environment in the process called as attended self management in spite of the transformations happened with this new agent s participation. The people re-located to the new areas that got involved in the process and finished their constructions reelaborating the daily practice of the collective effort passed to the self management without technical support. Years later the implantation of those two experiences our research verified that there is a positive image concerning the Architect and town planner, related, most of all to the conception of the activities, orientation and execution of constructions projects and of acceptance of those professionals to the processes of implementation of the Habitats of the Rural establishments. This dissertation analyses this form of performance, from and beyond these images trying to find the professional, specificities or methodological in such a way to demonstrate the importance of its insertion in the formulation and attendance of the more of 100.000 habitats of Rural establishments of the land reform of the country that correspond to most of the housing social interest in the country side

Interface cena e tecnologia : composições cênicas mediadas

Based on the presupposition that the arts in the West always counted on resources, supports, and devices pertaining to its time context, an reflection is intended regarding the scenic compositions mediated by digital technologies do. Such technologies are inserted in the daily routine, also composing artistic experiments, thus playing a dialogical role with the art/technology intersection. Therefore, the proposal is to investigate what relationships are established in the contemporary theatrical scene from the contagion by digital technologies, aiming at establishing this parallel through a dialogue with the authors discussing the subject, and also based on the group practices having technological resources as a determinant factor in their plays. Furthermore, a reflection should be made on the scene that incorporates or is carried out in intermediatic events, analyzing how digital technologies (re)configure compositional processes of the plays by GAG Phila7, in the city of São Paulo/SP. For such, the dissertation is organized in three sections comprising four moments, to wit: brief overview of the field, contextualization, poetic analysis and synthesis. Qualitative methods are used as the methodological proposal: semi-structure interview, note and document taking (program, website, playing book, disclosure material for advertising text, photographs, and videos). Within the universe of qualitative research, it works with the epistemological perspective of the Gadamer philosophical hermeneutics. The possibilities allowed by the double virtual (Internet/web) generated a type of theater with another material basis and new forms of organization and structure, being possible to perceive that such technological advances and the arts are mutually contaminated, generating a dislocation in the logics of theatrical composition, movement beginning with the artistic vanguards, gradually intensified, thus offering new possibilities of constructions and hybridization of the of the most different possible types. Experiment ―Profanações_superfície de eventos de construção coletiva‖, idealized by Phila7 is inserted in this perspective. Object of the discussion of such research, the experiment works with possible poetics arising from the intersection with the digital technologies, aiming at identifying and problematizing the challenges from the technological evolution and expansion in a scenic context

Juventude e vulnerabilidade social :no contexto intra-urbano de Natal, RN

The use of the term social vulnerability in the study of the reproduction of the social inequalities in Brazil, still, is recent. The social vulnerability is linked to the indicators of social risk. The work approaches the youth's social vulnerability and your relationship with the education, considering the youth a, among other groups socially excluded, vulnerable, in the Brazilian metropolises. It is guided by the methodological theoretical formulations on this thematic one developed by the Rede Metrópoles in the ambit of the project, " Observatory of the Metropolises: territory, social cohesion and democratic governability ( Project Millennium CNPq) and your unfoldings in the Natal group. Empirically, forehead a methodological proposal - still in construction - and it accomplishes a " pilot " study for the city of Natal with base in the data of the Census of IBGE 2000, that proposes mensurar the importance of the social characteristics of the neighborhood on the considered youths' educational acting those that are in the strip from 15 to 24 years. It considers that the youths' educational " earnings as being influenced not only for the social context of the family, also, for your space location in the city - social context of the neighborhood. With base in the results can verify that the youths of the city of Natal present situations of social vulnerability so much in the ambit of the family as expresses in the social space of the neighborhood. Such vulnerability are verified in the low educational indexes, in the high unemployment rates and in the presented social conditions of the researched areas. The youths, residents of those neighborhoods, they are considered vulnerable socially because original of a precarious source of " assets " and opportunities. There is in Natal a low " structure of assets and opportunities " - accessible to the youth

Mecanismos sócio-genéticos da representação social de trabalho docente por grupos de licenciandos de física e de química da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

This research aims to understand the social representations Teaching Work in groups of undergraduate students of Physics and Chemistry of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. For this, the proposal was based on the three theoretical and methodological consensus Carvalho (2012) in the explanation of socio-genetic mechanisms constituents of dynamic consensus that has functionality to your organization. It Was used to achieve this goal, the theoretical-epistemological Serge Moscovici (1978, 2003), Jodelet (2011), Wagner (1998,( 2011) and Carvalho (2012). The corpus analyzed results from a qualitative and quantitative research, developed in three stages. The first two (2) questionnaires to fifty (50) of each undergraduate course, a questionnaire and another profile for collection of free associations concerning motes inductors "Give Lesson," "Student" and "Teacher". The second step in the procedure Multiple Classifications, Roazzi (1995), aimed for another thirty (30) undergraduate students for each course, as well as Document Analysis of Educational Projects Curriculum courses in Physics and Chemistry. The data analysis of the first stage focused on descriptive statistics and frequency and average order of the words associated with motes inductors. The results from the Multiple Classification Procedure submitted to multidimensional analysis (MSA multidimensional scalogram analysis) and SSA (Similarity Structure Analysis), were interpreted by the theoretical and methodological proposal of the three consensus, supported by analysis of the rhetorical nature of justifications classifications and categorizations of words, boosted in times of application of Procedure Multiple Classification. The data revealed that the groups surveyed were the same Social Representation with specific dynamic consensual. Thinking Teaching Work for these groups it is considered in three dimensions: the BE-DO-HAVE of teaching. In the group of Physics consensus was clear semantic, which expressed a dynamic in which the interpretations of "Teaching Work" peacefully coexist on perceptions of two concepts: An identity around the "BE" "Teacher" or "BE" "Educator" and the other, how they think about professional development. The type of group consensus Chemistry pointed to a consensual logic hierarchical order in which the gradual between the elements of BE-DO-HAVE attested conflicts and disagreements about the perceptual object "Teaching Work", around what value most, whether they are the attributes of personal or professional-technical dimension of teaching, in the course of professional development. The thesis to explain the mechanisms of socio-genetic Representation Social Teaching Work by theoretical and methodological proposal was confirmed
