Design e gestão de sistemas, robótica, redes e médias interativos

Este relatório pretende ilustrar a experiência profissional obtida, principalmente após a conclusão, em 1998, da Licenciatura em Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores na Universidade da Madeira. Esta experiência circunscreve-se à proficiência nas áreas de redes de comunicação de dados, automação e robótica e desenvolvimento de média interativos (tanto na vertente de CD-ROMs como orientado à Internet). Embora também disponha de experiência no ensino destas áreas citadas, foram privilegiados os projetos com uma relevância mais técnica atendendo à natureza deste mestrado. Sendo assim, são apresentadas nestas quatro áreas primeiro uma descrição dos projetos realizados no âmbito do percurso profissional, para depois descrever uma implementação (relativa a cada área) utilizando uma metodologia científica que fora alvo de estudo na componente letiva deste mestrado, salientando as virtudes e defeitos de ambas as abordagens e comparando os resultados obtidos. Em síntese, é analisado o projeto de gestão de sistemas de redes das Escolas Secundárias Francisco Franco e Jaime Moniz (no âmbito do desempenho das funções de Diretor das Instalações Informáticas em ambas as instituições) culminando numa proposta de implementação utilizando equipamentos da Cisco; é analisado o projeto de CD-ROM sobre a Reserva Natural das Ilhas Desertas para depois completar um jogo educativo utilizando uma metodologia científica de Game Design; são descritos os websites desenvolvidos (com especial ênfase nos realizados enquanto técnico superior de informática na Secretaria Regional do Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais) para concluir com uma proposta de implementação de um sistema de marcação de reuniões orientado para a Cloud; finalmente, é descrito a utilização dos kits Lego Mindstorms para o ensino da programação, propondo uma implementação de baixo custo (alternativa) baseada num Raspberry Pi e componentes acessórios (tanto estandardizados como construídos com uma RepRap). Em suma, é contraposto o rigor e método do ensino académico com o pragmatismo e metas de produtividade exigidas no mercado de trabalho.

Práticas pedagógicas na utilização de quadros interativos multimédia

Mudança, rutura, inovação – estas são algumas das principais demandas da realidade do século XXI, num mundo que avança vertiginosamente face a um futuro incerto. A noção de proficiência enquadra-se em praticamente todos os cenários com que o ser humano se depara. Em temos educacionais urge adequar as evoluções tecnológicas, que controlam a maioria das tarefas do quotidiano, aos processos educativos implementados nas escolas, bem como na vida de cada indivíduo como ser construtor do seu saber; desta forma, alguns requisitos tornam-se prementes face à construção de um conhecimento válido e universal. O modo como as tecnologias assumiram um papel preponderante na maioria dos sistemas educativos postula estudos empíricos que apresentam uma perceção da articulação entre as tecnologias e os atuais métodos de ensino-aprendizagem. A presente investigação propõe-se analisar uma ferramenta cognitiva da atualidade – o Quadro Interativo – no que concerne às estratégias e práticas pedagógicas a ela associadas. Este estudo baseia-se numa metodologia preponderantemente qualitativa cujo objetivo consiste em reunir os dados mais recentes relacionados com o tema, incidindo no uso de técnicas e instrumentos de índole qualitativa nomeadamente observação, entrevistas e análise documental. Não se pretende tirar ilações ou generalizações dos factos, sendo que, a investigação visa estudar casos nos quais se encetam práticas pedagógicas com recurso às novas tecnologias, em particular ao Quadro Interativo, numa perspetiva de rutura paradigmática, averiguando em que medida estas práticas representam cenários inovadores. Foi possível apurar que a tecnologia não é sinónimo de inovação pedagógica uma vez que os processos de ensino estão presentes nas observações da investigadora; a tecnologia é usada na abordagem e esclarecimento de conteúdos curriculares porém, contribui para a retenção de informação e a aquisição do conhecimento inerente aos conteúdos referidos ao incrementar a motivação dos alunos.

Dos atos confessos aos afetos não-ditos: Um olhar sob as múltiplas experiências femininas a partir da análise dos discursos jurídicos, jornalísticos e orais

Women, subjectiveness, experimentations. This paper walks through gender, sexuality, body and subjectivity, bounding as the focus denaturalize the representations of womanlinessstaff and manliness and the modeled subjectivity by normative discusses that shows the transcendency based on multiplicities of experiences, wishes and life way wattled by men and women from the Caicó City s society in the decades from 1900 to 1945. For this, it was adopted a dialogic methodology inlcluding bibliographic and theorist references as well as sources like articles from Jornal das Moças (Lady s Journal); defloration s crime processes, abortion, infanticide and body lesions; iconographic sources and Caicó citizen memories in the period commented. Based on that sources, this work analyze the discursive construction of feminine through Justice and Jornal das Moças that paved by sanitarian, normalizing and moralizing discourses has spread clichés and stereotypes of womanlinessstaff and manliness, which has resulted by to universalize the experiences feminines in polarities and binary oppositions regarding to manliness, it has delineated them as asexual, irrational, anesthesiaed for pleasure and biologically meant to home activities modeling subjectivities that did not create ways for the singularization processes. This polarities, effects of sexual regulatory practices and gender legitimate the representations of courtship, maternity and honor, that although it has been incorporated not passivant on the building of the poor men and women subjectivity, it did not support itself in view of socio-cultural and economic reality of the poorest society side. Therefore, on this work emerge a plurality of women who has transited past the public sphere, who interlaced amorous informal relationships, who has kept relationships before the marriage, who hás established multiples familiar arrangements and helpful networks, who was single mothers without being considered dishonored women by social groups, who made matrimonial agreements without the rules of a formal civil marriage, who made use of beverageey to provoke the menstruation constituting multiples ways to experiment the life. This subjective feminine experimentations turned it possible to notice that representations concerning about the body, sexuality, date, maternity and honor of this women has constituted itself while molecularies and particulares . It was the affection not commented of the feminine sexuality that turned it possible to analyze the construction of singular subjectivities as a opened process, continuous, active, begetting new lands, life ways and wishes cartographies

Do controle de constitucionalidade dos atos jurisdicionais transitados em julgado

The following study aims to verify in which hypothesis res judicata, when it comes of an unconstitutional decision, shall not prevail over Constitution. It displayed the characteristics of formal and material constitutional systems. It debated the concepts of existence, validity and efficacy of juridical rules and acts. It dissertated about the idea of Constitution s superiority and about the birth of the judicial review of constitutionality. It focused some contemporary models of this judicial review and its historical evolution in Brazil, showing its effects towards the current Constitution. It sustained that the decision given by Supremo Tribunal Federal during abstract control of rules must bind even legislative bodies, preventing them to produce the same rules previously declared unconstitutional. It held up that all parts of the decision of Supremo Tribunal Federal oblige, even the juridical arguments employed, in both diffused and concentrated reviews. It showed that, despite these models of review live together in Brazil, our constitutional system preferred the concentrated one, considering one only court over the other constitutional organs. It discussed about res judicata with the purpose of clarifying its juridical nature, its objective and subjective limits and its regulation in collective demands. It explained that the material res judicata is an effect of a decision which cannot be reviewed, which makes the law s will free of discussion, binding the contendants and avoiding that other courts, judging future demands about the same object, may decide differently. It showed how the regulation of res judicata in collective demands, in respect oh their subjective limits, is useful to demonstrate that it is not the material law who must adapt itself to res judicata as traditionally thought, but res judicata, as a warranty of juridical certainty and security, who must be shaped from the debated rule. It presented to view the main doctrinal conceptions about res judicata s review in the hypothesis of unconstitutional judgement. It concluded that the decisions forged by unconstitutional rules or interpretations reputed not compatible to the Constitution by Supremo Tribunal Federal, in spite of it can make res judicata, may be reviewed beyond the term to file a recissory claim, since while the debated law is still valid, no matter if its decision was before or after the res judicata. At the end, it asserted that, when it is not legally authorized, the judicial review of res judicata is not admissible, after the term to file a recissory claim, under the argument that there was no direct violation to the constitutional principle or rule

Planejamento tributário: Critérios e limites para a desconsideração dos atos e negócios jurídicos pela administração fiscal

Tax planning is a subject that has been increasing in relevance in Tax Law. This current dissertation s objective is to approach the criterion and limits for the disqualification of law acts and business through the Tax Administration. Law acts and business resulted from the conduct of contributors that seek to diminish the growing raise of the tax load, using some means to reduce their burden and increase the possibilities of success in an economical activity, without violating the law in the persecution of paying fewer burdens. On the other hand, the tax administration, through its organs, hoping the increase of burden collection to withstand some determined sectors of the State, with a clear purpose to stop the contributor organizing his activity and structuring it as efficiently as possible, came up with a preliminary draft which left Complementary Law 104, from 10.02.2001, enacted, that inserted the unique paragraph of the National Tax Code, article 116, authorizing the disregard, by the administrative fiscal authority, of Law acts and business practiced to dissimulate the occurrence of burden gain or the nature of obligated incorporating elements, observing the procedures to be established in common law . Our goal is to identify the criteria and limits to disregard law acts and business through the tax administration, pointing out some possible means of action by the tax administration that qualifies it to disregard the contributor s acts and business, just claiming that a saving in the tax costs was made by the contributor s act

Efeitos individuais e interativos da diversidade de detritos, contexto e variabilidade ambiental sobre a magnitude e estabilidade do processo de decomposição

Studies on the effects of changes in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning have been a central theme in ecology over the past two decades. Several studies have showed that the diversity of plant debris differently affects the decomposition process in aquatic and terrestrial environments, but we know very about the effects of detritus diversity on decomposition under fluctuating environmental conditions. We tested whether and how the environmental contexts, as well as the dynamic of their alternation, influence the effects of detritus diversity on the decomposition process. We performed a field experiment where we manipulate the litter diversity of 8 species of terrestrial plants decomposing (litterbags) in single and in mixture containing the eight species together in three different environmental contexts: the terrestrial environment (T), aquatic (A) and interface (I) - experimental treatment that simulates variation in flooding regime. We measured the rate of decomposition through the loss of mass of the community and each individual detritus in monocultures and mixtures. Species richness and environmental variability had no effects on the magnitude and stability of the decomposition process. However, there were significant diversity effects on the decomposition of an individual alien species, F. benjamina. Environmental context had significant effects on the magnitude and variability of decomposition. Detritus decomposition was faster and more variable on aquatic, interface and terrestrial conditions, respectively. Our results demonstrate that the diversity of plant detritus has minor effects to the decomposition across disparate environmental conditions and suggest that it is necessary to consider the potential of other abiotic factors in affect the magnitude and variability of the decomposition processes

Atos, cenas e ações: encenações teatrais do multicampiartes no Pará

A pesquisa analisa o fazer teatral no âmbito do Programa Multicampiartes da Universidade Federal do Pará, principalmente com relação ao processo metodológico desenvolvido nas oficinas de teatro, nas cidades de Castanhal, Abaetetuba e Altamira. A análise tem como base os desdobramentos do fazer teatral como prática educativa e a articulação dos saberes dos artistas locais com os saberes dos professores do Programa. Acreditamos que essa articulação mediada pelo fazer teatral, contribui para a tomada de consciência de desejos, valores, inspirações permitindo a ampliação da sensibilidade e do juízo crítico do cidadão, tornando-o mais participativo e preparado para as escolhas no caminho da cidadania e da hominização. Fundamentamo-nos, especialmente, nas idéias de Paulo Freire (1987, 1981, 1996) e Augusto Boal (1991, 2003) por evidenciarmos e defendermos um fazer teatral implicado com as questões vivenciadas pelos homens no seu lócus de ação. Essa fundamentação pressupõe que a linguagem teatral é comprometida com a realidade sóciocultural, podendo atuar sobre ela e transformá-la. Metodologicamente, optamos pela análise das impressões e avaliação dos participantes através de depoimentos sobre a metodologia desenvolvida nas oficinas teatrais e suas implicações sócio-educativas nas comunidades. Os resultados apontam para uma diversidade de caminhos, dos quais destacamos: (a) a importância da presença da Universidade nas cidades como forma de reconhecimento do potencial artístico dos artistas locais; (b) as implicações na metodologia de trabalho organizada pelos professores do programa, cuja característica principal foi a flexibilidade e a disponibilidade para o inesperado que permitia maior vinculação com a comunidade local e maior envolvimento na formação no âmbito do Programa Multicampiartes. Apontamos, finalmente, a necessidade de organização de programas e ações que avancem no sentido da formação do cidadão, fora os muros da universidade e no cumprimento do seu papel, responsabilidade e compromisso social

Utilizando a televisão digital como um meio de comunicação para ambientes interativos reais

This Dissertation aims to provide a communication mechanism between Digital TV viewers and interaction devices, such as robots, for example, placed on the environment from which a TV program is being live broadcasted. Such communication mechanism has the objective to allow viewers controll the Interaction Devices through their TV devices, using the broadcast channel present in Interactive Digital TV systems, and receive data from the devices by the broadcast channel. This system was projected as a middlewaer system where the Interaction Devices in the TV program set are interconnected, creating a Interactive Device Network. With this approach, the system is capable of manage the devices on the network, controlling the flow of coming and leaving elements, in a transparent way for the viewers. The system yet allows the Interaction Devices communicate each other, with a integrated communication channel with no worries about the physical communication layer

Ave! Mossoró! : os mecanismos discursivos sobre o episódio da resistência ao bando de Lampião

This thesis has as objective the interdiscursive relations in the process of language construction in use in the poetic and in the journalistic spheres, with the purpose of perceiving how the genre news is constituted in different fields of social activity, as well as to analyze the argumentative processes that structure the written discourses about the resistance episode to the group of Lampião in Mossoró in the year of 1927. The corpus of the research is constituted by the news of the period informed in the printed newspapers: Correio do povo and O Nordeste, both from Mossoró/RN, and the narratives presented in the cordéis de acontecido : Mossoró in the resistance to the group of Lampião; Lampião in Mossoró in 1927, and Mossoró attacking to the group of Lampião, all potiguar poets. The analysis of the texts had as theoretical background the studies of: The texts analysis had as theoretical background The Discourse Analysis; The Argumentation Theory and the studies about Discourse Genres. We focused our discussion in the emphasis given to the news in the discursive perspective of the social-historic memory constructed in the cordéis, from ideological values (political, economical, religious etc.) that pass to be a fundamental element in the constitution of the image of the resistance. Methodologically, this is a documental research, since it makes use essentially of the written document. Regarding to the nature of the data, the research is characterized as a qualitative one. In the analysis, we considered the argumentative techniques adopted in the defense of the thesis, the meaning effects suggested, and the genres mentioned, that revealed to us the manner in which the episode was informed by the newspapers and the cordéis. That way, we affirm, based on the positions assumed by the announcers of the genres analyzed who defended clearly positions in favor of the defense of Mossoró, that the relation between both is captured interdiscursively, since they are asked by the same ideology, and converge to the same discursive formation, defending identical positions, and structuring their discussions with resembling argumentative techniques, reason by which take us to believe that the discourse presented in that social activity demonstrates and develops traces of a manipulation of the subject. In this case, the discursive construction of the text points towards determining standard of repetition, since the linguistic context is characterized in the journalistic field, and in the poetic field assuming, in the first instance, a local expression

Formação docente e gêneros discursivos:o dizer, o saber e o fazer

This master dissertation presented to the Language Studies Post-Graduation Program of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte aims present an analysis about the initial teacher training, the knowledge about discursive genres and its usage in basic education professional classrooms. Therefore, it was analyzed, from teachers of fourth and fifth grades of elementary schools, if the initial training provides enough useful tools to be applied in Portuguese classes, i.e., if during the teacher training process concepts of discursive genres emerge, which of these concepts can be noticed and how this knowledge helps teachers in their classrooms. In order to achieve this aim, it was taken into account studies about the initial teacher training, about the knowledge diversity that is part of the teaching knowledge and also about discursive genres based on Bakhtin‟s conception, which is used in the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN). This research is qualitative of interpretative basis and has taken an opened questions questionnaire and classroom observations with audio recording data as corpus of analysis. As results of this investigation, it is possible to emphasize that the initial teacher training has left some gaps in discursive genres concepts and usage in Portuguese classes, that it is not only one kind of knowledge that compound the teacher knowledge and, because of this, working with disciplinarians knowledge, specially about discursive genres, is to emphasize one among many others.

Uma arquitetura de referência para o desenvolvimento de sistemas interativos multiplataformas

It is increasingly common use of a single computer system using different devices - personal computers, telephones cellular and others - and software platforms - systems graphical user interfaces, Web and other systems. Depending on the technologies involved, different software architectures may be employed. For example, in Web systems, it utilizes architecture client-server - usually extended in three layers. In systems with graphical interfaces, it is common architecture with the style MVC. The use of architectures with different styles hinders the interoperability of systems with multiple platforms. Another aggravating is that often the user interface in each of the devices have structure, appearance and behaviour different on each device, which leads to a low usability. Finally, the user interfaces specific to each of the devices involved, with distinct features and technologies is a job that needs to be done individually and not allow scalability. This study sought to address some of these problems by presenting a reference architecture platform-independent and that allows the user interface can be built from an abstract specification described in the language in the specification of the user interface, the MML. This solution is designed to offer greater interoperability between different platforms, greater consistency between the user interfaces and greater flexibility and scalability for the incorporation of new devices
