Caracterização da cultura organizacional utilizando o Modelo dos Valores Contrastantes: o caso da Universidade de Évora

Considerada, cada vez mais, como um atributo organizacional essencial para o sucesso das organizações, a cultura organizacional ainda não é conhecida da maioria das Universidades, as quais têm sido sujeitas a transformações sem precedentes para se adaptar e a acompanhar os desafios societais. Adotando uma abordagem multimétodo, procurou-se a caracterizar a cultura organizacional de uma universidade publica portuguesa, segundo o Modelo dos Valores Contrastantes recorrendo ao questionário FOCUS e à entrevista semiestruturada de Quinn. Os resultados revelaram uma ênfase na cultura de regras para a Universidade no seu todo e de três subgrupos. A cultura de apoio foi enfatizada numa Escola. Estes resultados confirmam a tendência das entidades publicas valorizarem as regras, a estabilidade e os processos internos. A literatura afirma a necessidade de se procurarem estratégias de abertura ao exterior, flexibilizaçao de processos e estruturas deforma a aumentar a produtividade e melhorar a adaptação aos desafios externos; Abstract: Characterization of Organizational Culture using the Competing Values Framework: The Case of the University of Évora Regarded increasingly as an essential organizational attribute to the success of organizations, organizational culture is not known to most of the universities, which have been subject to unprecedented transformations to adapt and keep up with societal challenges. Adopting a multimethod approach, we sought to characterize the organizational culture of a public Portuguese university, according to the Competing Values Framework using the FOCUS questionnaire and semistructured interview by Quinn. The results revealed an emphasis on Rules culture for the University as a whole and three of their subgroups. The Support culture was emphasized in one university School. These results confirm the trend of public institutions to value the rules, stability and internal processes. The literature states that universities need to seek strategies opening to the outside, flexibilization of processes and structures to increase productivity and better adapt to external changes.

Atendimento médico na zona rural: os desafios do trabalho na zona rural e adaptação à dinâmica da Unidade Básica de Saúde Oeste de Bicas

A Estratégia de Saúde da Família "Oeste" (ESF) da cidade de Bicas - Minas Gerais é responsável pela cobertura de toda a zona rural do município e parte da zona urbana. Devido ao difícil acesso da população rural até a unidade de saúde, torna-se necessária a realização da visita domiciliar até a zona rural, o que faz com que parte da equipe de saúde se ausente da unidade. Dessa forma, a falta de planejamento e organização dessas visitas têm gerado um número considerável de usuários insatisfeitos com o atendimento, e dentre as principais queixas, consta a dificuldade em se obter consultas de demanda livre. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o impacto da utilização da base de dados do Sistema de Informação da Atenção Básica (SIAB), especificamente a ficha de cadastramento familiar (ficha A), que será utilizada na reorganização e estratificação do atendimento médico na zona rural do município de Bicas. Serão selecionados também todos os prontuários das famílias pertencentes à zona rural para auxiliar na estratificação segundo o risco. A partir da análise dos dados, chegou-se a conclusão que seria necessário reorganizar o atendimento médico na zona rural, de forma que este fique o mais homogêneo possível, privilegiando tanto a população rural quanto a urbana. Neste ponto, o SIAB torna-se um grande aliado, no sentido de orientar a reorganização do processo de trabalho na unidade básica de saúde.

[meanings Of The Sickening Process For Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Review Of The Literature.]

Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that causes many psychological repercussions that have been studied through qualitative research. These are considered relevant, since they reveal the amplitude experienced by patients. Given this importance, this study aims to map the qualitative production in this theme, derived from studies of experiences of adult patients of both genders and that had used as a tool a semi-structured interview and/or field observations, and had made use of a sampling by a saturation criterion to determine the number of participants in each study. The survey was conducted in Pubmed, Lilacs, Psycinfo e Cochrane databases, searching productions in English and Portuguese idioms published between January 2005 and June 2012. The 19 revised papers that have dealt with patients in the acute phase of the disease showed themes that were categorized into eight topics that contemplated the experienced process at various stages, from the onset of the disease, extending through the knowledge of the diagnosis and the understanding of the manifestations of the disease, drug treatment and general care, evolution and prognosis. The collected papers also point to the difficulty of understanding, of the patients, on what consists the remission phase, revealing also that this is a clinical stage underexplored by psychological studies.

The difficulty in adapting European dairy cows breeds in Brazil affect considerably the milk production sector. Brazilian climatic conditions are not totally favorable and the development of new tecnologies is needed for the animals express their genetic potential, as well as their best feed conversion. An economical analysis of the applied investment in the free-stall climatization equipment in dairy housing, for estimating studies related to profit, possibility of return investment as well as time for this return is necessary. The objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of climatization investment in the milk production process and analyze the economical aspect of this investment. There were used 470 high productive dairy cows with genetic and morphologic homogeneous characteristics, and analyzed in two similar periods. Investment calculations were done using Excell®. The results were satisfactory and the invested capital was proved to return to the producer in a short term, 57 days.

Avaliação de estrutura de bambu como elemento construtivo para casa de vegetação

The use of technology to protect and produce vegetables and ornamental plants was developed over several adaptation phases that supported the demand for quality and amount of products. These developments also reduced production costs and climate damage to the crops. Many of these adaptations were carried out by farmers on their own initiative, using different materials and devices to solve their problems. This study was carried out at Agricultural Engineering College - Campinas University/UNICAMP, from December 2002 to January 2003, with the objective of evaluating the deformations of the constructive system of bamboo structure for greenhouses, submitted to different spacing among columns, and different vertical strains. It was tested the use of beams and columns built with bamboo stems from the specie Bambusa tuldoides Munro. The beams and columns were tied together with plastic spacing parts, specially designed to facilitate and standardize the construction of the building, providing more resistance and stability. Three column spaces (2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 m) were evaluated under different load strains. The best result was obtained with a spacing of 2.5 m.

Morfoanatomia da raiz tuberosa de Vernonia oxylepis Sch. Bip. in Mart. ex Baker - Asteraceae

Several native herbaceous and subshrub species native to the Cerrado in Brazil are geophytes, that is, they survive the unfavorable dry season and low temperatures, that sometimes coincide with fire, with only the underground system intact. Vernonia oxylepis is one of these species and the aim of this study was to describe the morpho-anatomy of the tuberous root and bud formation on this structure. The main axis of this root is perpendicular to the soil surface, and from which aerial shoots arise periodically throughout the life cycle. On the upper portion of the root, self-grafting of the shoots occurs. The root stores lipids and fructans, exhibits contraction and produces reparatory buds; adventitious buds arise from proliferated pericycle. These characteristics may be related to adaptation of this species to conditions in the Cerrado.

Plasticidade neural: relações com o comportamento e abordagens experimentais

Behavioral adaptiveness to different situations as well as behavioral individuality result from the interrelations between environmental sitmuli and the responses of an organism.These kind of interrelationships also shape the neural circuits as well as characterize the plasticity and the neural individuality of the organism. Studies on neural plasticity may analyze changes in neural circuitry after environmental manipulations or changes in behavior after lesions in the nervous system. Issues on neural plasticity and recovery of function refer both to physiology and behavior as well as to the subjacent mechanisms related to morphology, biochemistry and genetics. They may be approached at the systemic, behavioral, cellular and molecular levels. This work intends to characterize these kinds of studies pointing to their relations with the analyis of behavior and learning.The analysis of how the environmental-organismic interrelationships affect the neural substrates of behavior is pointed as a very stimulating area for investigation.

Do gênio da língua ao tradutor como gênio

The article presents two translation models that were typical in the XVII and XVIII centuries, but can also be seen as paradigmatics in the field of Translation Studies: 1) The rhetorical model that defends the possibility of translation and emphasizes the necessity of adapting the original to the taste of the target public. 2) The model that affirms the impossibility of translation, the non-translatability: a) because the sensual elements that are linked to the language of the original are praised; b) because there is a defense of the cultural relativism and of the non-translatability between cultures; c) or because there is a defense not only of the impossibility to separate signifiers and meaning, but also because there is a definition of the signifier and of all identities as being the result of a differential game.

Gênero e estresse em trabalhadores de uma universidade pública do estado de São Paulo

The aim of this paper was to identify, according to gender, the indexes of Mental Health and the Psychosocial Risk Factors in workers at a state University. A sample of 400 was randomly selected, 253 female and 147 male. They were assessed by means of The Questionnaire SWS Survey (Self, Work and Social) (Ostermann & Gutiérrez, 1992), validated in Brazil by Guimarães and Macfadden (1999). Univariate, bivariate, multivariate statistics were assessed. Significant associations emerged from Mental Health and Gender, and Psychosocial Risk Factors and Gender. Women showed greater Psychosocial Risk Factors, Work and Social Stress, worst mental health than men (p < 0.05), which place them at greater risk for developing physical and/or mental illness.

Estudo dos efeitos de temporada de treinamento físico sobre a Performance de uma equipe de handebol feminino sub-21

Handball is a sport that demands endurance associated with fast and powerful actions such as jumps, blocks, sprints and throws. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a 38-week systematic physical training applied to a women's under 21 handball team on upper and lower limb power, 30m sprints speed and endurance. The periodization applied was an adaptation of the Verkhoshansky theory, and aimed at two performance peaks during the season with six data collections. The median and range values for three kg medicine ball throwing was: 2.98m (2.15-3.50); 2.84m (2.43-3.20); 2.90m (2.60-3.38); 3.10 (2.83-3.81); 2.84 (2.55-3.57) and 3.34 (2.93-3.83). Regarding the three-pass running test: 5.60m (4.93-6.58); 5.37m (5.04-6.38); 5.36m (4.93-6.12); 5.65m (4.80-6.78); 5.63m (5.00-6.40) and 5.83m (5.14-6.05). Regarding the 30-m sprint test: 5.8m/s (5.45-6.44); 6,64 m/s (6,24-7,09); 5.65m/s (5.17-5.95); (there was not IV moment for this test); 6.19 m/s (5.57-6.26) and 5.83 (5.14-6.05).Regarding the 30-m sprint endurance test until 10% decrease: 4 sprints (4-6); 5 sprints (4-9); 4,5 sprints (4-16); (there was not IV moment for this test); 6 sprints (4-12) and 5 sprints (4-5). Significant differences (p<0.05) were observed in three kg medicine ball throwing and three-pass running tests at least in one of the performance peak planned, with no significant differences in 30-m sprint speed or endurance tests. The applied physical training was efficient at improving the specific physical fitness in the performance peaks, as well as giving support for better physical training adjustment for the upcoming season.
