Air pollution can threat the environment and public health, and is assess by pollutant ́s concentration measurements in order to verify whether the limits set by environmental agencies are being respected. However, these measures do not indicate immediately the impacts to living beings. To faced this problem, plants are been investigated as potential bioindicators of air pollution and, among them, stand out bromeliads Tillandsia genus which colonize various substrates,. obtaining water and nutrients from the atmosphere directly. In this context, this research assessed the potential of epiphytic bromeliad Tillandsia recurvata (L.) L. found in urbanized areas of the city of Curitiba - PR as a bioindicator of urban air pollution. According to vehicle traffic, five sample points were selected and classified. Points P1 and P2 were classified as high-traffic vehicle due presenting trucks and urban transport; point P3 was classified as moderate traffic due the predominance of private vehicles and urban transport; and points P4 and P5 were classified as low-traffic, presenting circulation of private vehicles only. There were analyzed the abundance of T. recurvata, morphophysiological parameters (leaf area, leaf specific area, sclerophylly index, percentage dry weight / fresh weight, chlorophyll (a + b), analysis of structural mesophyll organization) and the heavy metals accumulation (Fe, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn). The abundance analysis and the results obtained for metals analysis were correlated with the intensity of vehicular traffic, directing the sampling points P1 > P2 = P3 > P4 = P5. This result demonstrate that the abundance of T. recurvata is greater in urban air pollution impacted areas, thus indicating that T. recurvata absorbs and accumulates metals and can be used in biomonitoring of urban air pollution in areas impacted by vehicular traffic. Morphophysiological parameters analyzed shows that the internal plant ́s structure is not significantly impacted by urban air pollution due plant ́s adptations. The presence of absorbing scales, the CAM metabolism pathway and it ́s store water ability, among other features, demonstrate their potential as bio-indicator in urban areas, especially regarding heavy metals accumulation .

This thesis aimed to evaluate the implementation of the Food Acquisition Program(PAA) through CONAB RN in the period of 2003-2010 with the perception of all agents involved in the implementation of the government program.For the methodological trajectory it was adopted a descriptive bibliographical and documentary approach with triangular qualitative and quantitative, also called evaluative research.The theoretical model was supported by the authors Draibe (2001), Aguilar and Ander-Egg (1994) and Silva(2001), among others, that focused on family farming and evaluation of implementation of public policy having as a category of analysis the size implementation of policy and the latter divided into 10 theoretical dimensions.The universe consisted of three groups: the first were the managers and technicians from CONAB(RN and Brasilia), totaling 15 subjects. The second group was of associations/cooperatives that participated in the programin 2010, totaling a sample in each access of 15 representatives. The third group of subjects totaled with 309 representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations that received donations of food for the same period. Semi-structured interviews and forms were adopted as instruments of data collection.The data were processed qualitatively by the analysis of content (interviews and documents) and quantitatively by means of statistical tests that allowed inferences and adoption of frequencies. Among the key find ingests that the program is not standing as a structure supported by planning. The interests of the performers do not necessarily converge with the objectives of the Food Acquisition Program (PAA). A shockof goals was identified (within the same program) when comparingthe financial agent (Ministry of Rural Development and of Social Development and Fight Against Hunger Ministry r) and the executor, CONAB/RN. Within the assessed dimensions, the most fragileis the sub-managerial decision-making and Organizational Environment and internal assessment, still deserves attention the sizeof logistical and operational Subsystem, as this also proved weak.The focusin the quest toexpand thequantificationof the resultsof theFood Acquisition Program (PAA)by CONAB/RN does forget a quality management focused on what really should be:the compliance with the institutional objectives of the government program.Finally, the perspective for the traded implementation should be re-examined because excessive discretion by managers along with technical staff has characterized there al role of the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) as public policy. We conclude that the implementation model, which apparently aggregates values to the benefitted citizens, has weakened the context of work on family farms having the management model of the implementation process be reviewed by the Federal Government and point too ther paths, which have as a guide line the emancipation and developmentof the field or in the field andat the same time enables the reduction of nutritional deficiency of beneficiaries in a balanced and coherent way

A implementação de sistemas de gestão da qualidade na área da educação e formação permite reforçar e consolidar as organizações que atuam num mercado cada vez mais competitivo, permitindo-lhes satisfazer, numa base permanente e sistemática, as expetativas dos clientes através do fornecimento de produtos de formação de melhor qualidade. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo é explorar a temática dos sistemas de gestão da qualidade ao nível do setor de educação. Em específico pretende-se efetuar uma revisão de literatura sobre qualidade, formação e ensino à distância;analisar normas, projetos e iniciativas em matéria de ensino à distância e implementar um Sistema de Gestão da Formação, de acordo com a NP 4512, numa unidade de e-learning. A metodologia adotada foi investigação–ação e centrou-se no levantamento bibliográfico e na aplicação dos conceitos num contexto específico de um organização de ensino. Foi escolhida a unidade de e-learning do IPP (e-IPP) como contexto do estudo por ser uma unidade de ensino superior. Os principais resultados obtidos são: (1) maior conhecimento das normas projetos e iniciativas em matéria de ensino à distância a nível nacional e europeu; (2) análise detalhada da recente norma portuguesa NP 4512; (3) elaboração da documentação associada ao Sistema de Gestão da Formação (SGF) na unidade e-IPP, em específico, identificação e monitorização dos processos, descrição dos procedimentos obrigatórios e elaboração do manual do SGF. Como principal limitação deste estudo destaca-se a implementação parcial do sistema de gestão da formação na unidade e-IPP, devido à falta de tempo e à falta de maturidade da unidade e-IPP.

With the need of the companies in becoming more competitive within the market, it arises an incessant search for selective human potential, with a high level of capacity and low rotativity, which motivation results in production raise, quality optimization and waste reduction. This scenario requires a strategy development which advantages the Human Resources Quality Management. This way, the model of the Human System Audit (HSA), developed by the Spanish researchers Ouijano and Navarro, presents itself as an important tool to diagnosis and evaluation, contemplating the environment where the organization is inserted, its strategies, its organizational design, its processes and its organizational effectiveness. In this sense, the present study has identified the existent relation between the professional satisfaction and the Organizational Culture, based in the model HSA. The research has been a quantitative-descriptive one and has had as population the technical-administrative workers from the Federal Center of Technical Education of Rio Grande do Norte (CEFET RN). The data collection has occurred during May, 2008, by means of the application of a questionnaire in the HSA model. The sample was composed by 167 subjects, distributed among the Five units of the institution. It was used the factorial analysis, with the extraction method of main components and orthogonal rotation varimax, in order to extract the dimensions of the satisfaction and of the organizational culture and the calculation of Cronbach s Alpha coefficient, to evaluate the reliability of these dimensions. The factorial analysis of the satisfaction indicators has identified four factors,, all of them showing significance: gratefulness and relationship , self-realization , stability and security and physical conditions and social benefits . The result of the factorial analysis with the indicators of the organizational culture has extracted four factors and among them, three of them have obtained significance: Personal Satisfaction Style , Competitive-Denial-Power Style and the Conventional-Dependent Style . After identifying the dimensions of the satisfaction and culture found at CEFET-RN, it has been notice the existence or not of relation among them, through the application of Pearson s coefficient. It has been verified that all of the dimensions of the Professional satisfaction are correlated with some dimension of the organizational culture, having in outstand position, with higher intensity, the relation between the culture style of Personal Satisfaction and the satisfaction factor referring to the self-realization

Este artigo condensa um conjunto de reflexões baseadas em factos relacionados com a gestão da qualidade nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). São identificados factores internos e externos favoráveis à melhoria da qualidade dos serviços prestados por estas organizações, bem como algumas das barreiras que se lhe opõem. Relativamente às abordagens da qualidade, nestas organizações são consideradas: de um lado as que resultam da Supervisão do Estado e do outro as que estão associadas a sistemas de natureza voluntária, designadas aqui por Abordagem Qualidade, em que sobressai a Certificação baseada na norma ISO 9001 e os sistemas de Gestão pela Qualidade Total (GQT) também designados de Excelência Organizacional. São identificadas algumas das insuficiências dos modelos assentes na Supervisão do Estado e defendida a importância de atender ao conjunto de “boas práticas” já existentes, ao invés de abordagens que tratam desta problemática numa perspectiva ab initio, sem contemplar o conhecimento acumulado neste domínio da gestão das organizações.

Uma das condições que mais influencia a competitividade entre instituições de ensino é a Qualidade. Sendo a sociedade cada vez mais exigente, é necessário medir e avaliá-la. A utilização de uma ferramenta de autoavaliação, desenvolvida ao nível da União Europeia, a Common Assessment Framework (CAF), que teve como modelo de origem o European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), veio permitir a medição da qualidade dos serviços prestados na administração pública. Este estudo apresenta os diversos aspectos referentes à temática da qualidade, o modelo CAF e os principais resultados obtidos num inquérito por questionário, junto dos alunos, colaboradores internos e gestores dos Serviços Académicos da Universidade de Évora, com o objectivo de avaliar o grau de satisfação com a qualidade do serviço prestado, o desempenho de todas as partes interessadas e, consequentemente, a sustentabilidade desse serviço. Desses resultados retiraram-se alguns pontos fortes, enunciaram-se diversos pontos fracos e evidenciaram-se sugestões de melhoria para o serviço em estudo. Neste sentido, este trabalho serviu de diagnóstico e apresenta uma ferramenta que permite aos Serviços académicos da Universidade de Évora conhecerem-se melhor e poderem mover-se no caminho da qualidade. ABSTRACT: One of the conditions that most influences the competitiveness among institutions of education is quality. As society increasingly demanding in terms of professional skills, it is necessary to measure and assess the quality of education, through continuous improvement to achieve excellence. Currently, the quality must be measured and seen as a competitive advantage. The use of a tool for self-evaluation of the quality, developed at EU level, the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) that has had its origin on European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), carne allow the measurement of quality of services provided to the clients, based on an internal guidance for quality in the organization and on the adoption of quality ratings as a routine in their work. This study presents the various aspects relating to the issue of quality and the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) and presents the main results obtained through a survey by questionnaire. These questionnaires were applied to the students, staff and internal managers from the Academic Services of the University of Évora with the aim of assessing the grade of satisfaction with the quality of the services provided, the performance of all interested parties and therefore the sustainability of this service in this institution of higher education. As results obtained on this research there are some strengths, several weaknesses and suggestions for improvement that can benefit the service under study. This work can be used as a diagnosis and gives a tool that allows Academic Services of the University of Évora know themselves better and to be able to move on the path of quality.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar se as empresas que têm implementado um Sistema de Gestão da Qualidade, certificadas segundo a norma da International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001, apresentam também uma boa qualidade da informação financeira. Neste sentido, pretende-se testar a expectável relação positiva entre a certificação de qualidade de uma empresa e a qualidade da sua informação financeira. Para isso, identificaram-se as empresas que possuem certificação do Sistema de Gestão de Qualidade, segundo a norma ISO 9001, enquanto a qualidade da informação financeira foi aferida utilizando como proxy os accruals discricionários estimados através do modelo Jones (1991). Utiliza-se um modelo logit para testar a relação pretendida, tendo como variável dependente a variável binária relativa à certificação de qualidade e como principal variável explicativa a qualidade da informação financeira. Com base nos resultados obtidos foi possível verificar a existência de uma relação positiva e estatisticamente significativa entre certificação de qualidade das empresas e a sua qualidade da informação financeira.
