O Plano Tecnológico de Educação (PTE) pretendeu equipar tecnologicamente as escolas públicas de Portugal continental, procurando introduzir, por essa via, alterações e inovação no ensino e na aprendizagem. Neste contexto, importa destacar o papel que os coordenadores do PTE tiveram localmente, já que foram os responsáveis pela sua implementação dentro das escolas. Focámos assim a nossa investigação na figura dos CPTE, de forma a percebermos como o PTE tinha sido implementado e liderado nas escolas. Partimos de um enquadramento do problema, perspetivado em torno de três temas: a construção do Plano Tecnológico de Educação, destacando os seus três eixos e projetos, a problemática da incorporação das tecnologias de informação e comunicação na educação e o papel da liderança em projetos de inovação e mudança. O estudo empírico realizado apoiou-se fundamentalmente em métodos quantitativos, complementado por elementos qualitativos. Foi aplicado um inquérito a uma amostra com representação nacional, de 100 CPTE, de agrupamentos de escolas e escolas não agrupadas de Portugal continental com ensino secundário. Este inquérito permitiu perceber quem foram estes coordenadores ao definirmos o seu perfil relativamente às suas características pessoais e profissionais, às suas competências nas dimensões previstas para a função, bem como à sua liderança, neste caso concreto através da utilização do MLQ, de Bass & Avolio. Permitiu ainda determinar as condições de implementação do PTE e os principais constrangimentos. Os resultados obtidos comprovaram que nem todos os objetivos inicialmente propostos para o PTE foram concluídos ou implementados. No entanto, o balanço a nível tecnológico e de gestão é bastante positivo e menos a nível pedagógico. A liderança desempenhada pela generalidade dos CPTE enquadrou-se no perfil ideal identificado por Avolio & Bass (1995), onde as características de liderança transformacional são as mais manifestadas, complementando-se com algumas de liderança transacional.

Otoliths are calcified structures located in Osteichthyes’ inner ear that are involved in audition and balance. Their morphology is used as an indicator of various ecological processes or properties. This application requires identifying the endogenous and exogenous factors that act simultaneously as sources of shape variation. This thesis aims at detecting and quantifying the relative contributions of directional asymmetry and diet to otolith shape variation at the intra-population level. Directional asymmetry between left and right otoliths was found in flat-fishes, the blind-side otolith being always longer and larger, whereas it was negligible in round-fishes. However, asymmetry amplitude never exceeded 18 %, which suggests evolutionary canalization of otolith shape symmetry. A correlation between global diet and otolith was detected in 4 species studied in situ. Diet composition contributed more than food amount to morphological variation and affected otolith shape both globally and locally. An experimental study on sea bass (Dicentrarchus larbrax) showed that diet composition in terms of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids at larval stage affects otolith morphogenesis during juvenile stage without impacting on individuals’ somatic growth. This result suggests a direct effect of diet on otolith shape and not an indirect one through the somatic-otolith growth relationship. This effect disappeared at later stages, morphogenetic trajectories converging back to a similar shape, which suggests ontogenetic canalization of otolith shape.

La description des termes dans les ressources terminologiques traditionnelles se limite à certaines informations, comme le terme (principalement nominal), sa définition et son équivalent dans une langue étrangère. Cette description donne rarement d’autres informations qui peuvent être très utiles pour l’utilisateur, surtout s’il consulte les ressources dans le but d’approfondir ses connaissances dans un domaine de spécialité, maitriser la rédaction professionnelle ou trouver des contextes où le terme recherché est réalisé. Les informations pouvant être utiles dans ce sens comprennent la description de la structure actancielle des termes, des contextes provenant de sources authentiques et l’inclusion d’autres parties du discours comme les verbes. Les verbes et les noms déverbaux, ou les unités terminologiques prédicatives (UTP), souvent ignorés par la terminologie classique, revêtent une grande importance lorsqu’il s’agit d’exprimer une action, un processus ou un évènement. Or, la description de ces unités nécessite un modèle de description terminologique qui rend compte de leurs particularités. Un certain nombre de terminologues (Condamines 1993, Mathieu-Colas 2002, Gross et Mathieu-Colas 2001 et L’Homme 2012, 2015) ont d’ailleurs proposé des modèles de description basés sur différents cadres théoriques. Notre recherche consiste à proposer une méthodologie de description terminologique des UTP de la langue arabe, notamment l’arabe standard moderne (ASM), selon la théorie de la Sémantique des cadres (Frame Semantics) de Fillmore (1976, 1977, 1982, 1985) et son application, le projet FrameNet (Ruppenhofer et al. 2010). Le domaine de spécialité qui nous intéresse est l’informatique. Dans notre recherche, nous nous appuyons sur un corpus recueilli du web et nous nous inspirons d’une ressource terminologique existante, le DiCoInfo (L’Homme 2008), pour compiler notre propre ressource. Nos objectifs se résument comme suit. Premièrement, nous souhaitons jeter les premières bases d’une version en ASM de cette ressource. Cette version a ses propres particularités : 1) nous visons des unités bien spécifiques, à savoir les UTP verbales et déverbales; 2) la méthodologie développée pour la compilation du DiCoInfo original devra être adaptée pour prendre en compte une langue sémitique. Par la suite, nous souhaitons créer une version en cadres de cette ressource, où nous regroupons les UTP dans des cadres sémantiques, en nous inspirant du modèle de FrameNet. À cette ressource, nous ajoutons les UTP anglaises et françaises, puisque cette partie du travail a une portée multilingue. La méthodologie consiste à extraire automatiquement les unités terminologiques verbales et nominales (UTV et UTN), comme Ham~ala (حمل) (télécharger) et taHmiyl (تحميل) (téléchargement). Pour ce faire, nous avons adapté un extracteur automatique existant, TermoStat (Drouin 2004). Ensuite, à l’aide des critères de validation terminologique (L’Homme 2004), nous validons le statut terminologique d’une partie des candidats. Après la validation, nous procédons à la création de fiches terminologiques, à l’aide d’un éditeur XML, pour chaque UTV et UTN retenue. Ces fiches comprennent certains éléments comme la structure actancielle des UTP et jusqu’à vingt contextes annotés. La dernière étape consiste à créer des cadres sémantiques à partir des UTP de l’ASM. Nous associons également des UTP anglaises et françaises en fonction des cadres créés. Cette association a mené à la création d’une ressource terminologique appelée « DiCoInfo : A Framed Version ». Dans cette ressource, les UTP qui partagent les mêmes propriétés sémantiques et structures actancielles sont regroupées dans des cadres sémantiques. Par exemple, le cadre sémantique Product_development regroupe des UTP comme Taw~ara (طور) (développer), to develop et développer. À la suite de ces étapes, nous avons obtenu un total de 106 UTP ASM compilées dans la version en ASM du DiCoInfo et 57 cadres sémantiques associés à ces unités dans la version en cadres du DiCoInfo. Notre recherche montre que l’ASM peut être décrite avec la méthodologie que nous avons mise au point.

The ICES Working Group for the Bay of Biscay and the Iberic waters Ecoregion (WGBIE) met in Copenhagen, Denmark during 13–14 May 2016. There were 22 stocks in its remit distributed from ICES Divisions 3.a–4.a though mostly distributed in Sub Areas 7, 8 and 9. There were 21 participants, some of whom joined the meeting re-motely. The group was tasked with conducting assessments of stock status for 22 stocks using analytical, forecast methods or trends indicators to provide catch forecasts for eight stocks and provide a first draft of the ICES advice for 2016 for fourteen stocks. For the remaining stocks, the group had to update catch information and indices of abundance where needed. Depending on the result of this update, namely if it would change the perception of the stock, the working group drafted new advice. Analytical assessments using age-structured models were conducted for the northern and southern stocks of megrim and the Bay of Biscay sole. The two hake stocks and one southern stock of anglerfish were assessed using models that allow the use of only length-structured data (no age data). A surplus-production model, without age or length structure, was used to assess the second southern stocks of anglerfish. No ana-lytical assessments have been provided for the northern stocks of anglerfish after 2006. This is mostly due to ageing problems and to an increase in discards in recent years, for which there is no reliable data at the stock level. The state of stocks for which no analytical assessment could be performed was inferred from examination of commer-cial LPUE or CPUE data and from survey information. Three nephrops stocks from the Bay of Biscay and the Iberian waters are scheduled for benchmark assessments in October 2016. The WGBIE meeting spent some time review-ing the progress towards the benchmark (see Annex 6) together with longer term benchmarks (2017 and after, see section 1.) for sea bass in the Bay of Biscay, all an-glerfish and hake stocks assessed by the WG. For the northern megrim stock, the sched-ule an inter-benchmark meeting was completed successfully and the group reviewed the outcome and accepted the category 1 update assessment. A recurrent issue significantly constrained the group’s ability to address the terms of reference this year. Despite an ICES data call with a deadline of six weeks before the meeting, data for several stocks were resubmitted during the meeting which lead to increased workloads during the working group, as in that case, the assessments could not be carried out in National Laboratories prior to the meeting as mentioned in the ToRs. This is an important matter of concerns for the group members. Section 1 of the report presents a summary by stock and discusses general issues. Sec-tion 2 provides descriptions of the relevant fishing fleets and surveys used in the as-sessment of the stocks. Sections 3–18 contains the single stock assessments.

This study presents the results of field research of an exploratory descriptive character that seeks to identify the latent dimensions of leadership and organizational commitment as well as to discover the relationship between these two sets of indicators. In the study, 236 respondents were interviewed, 84 being managers or owners and 152 being sales personnel. The research was undertaken in five shopping centers in the municipality of Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte, and employed two different questionnaires. One of them was developed by Bass and Avolio, 1992 (in NORTHOUSE, 2004), contained 21 indicators of leadership and was completed by store managers. The other instrument, completed by sales personnel in the stores, was developed by Medeiros, Albuquerque, Marques and Siqueira (2003) and contained a total of 28 indicators of organizational commitment. For the analysis of the data, factor analysis techniques and structural equations modeling were used. Using the factor analysis, five dimensions of leadership and seven dimensions of organizational commitment were found, all of which have a theoretical basis for their explanation. Through the structural equations modeling, a relationship was established between leadership and organizational commitment, in which it was possible to observe that certain leadership styles influence in a positive form the commitment of the employee

No que concerne às competências e sucesso do líder a importância da Inteligência Emocional, está referenciada desde 1920, através do psicólogo Edward Thorndike, que salientou que o “melhor operário de uma fábrica pode não ser um bom capataz, por lhe faltar Inteligência social” (Goleman & Boyatzis, 2008). Com o decorrer dos anos, esta ideia foi-se tornando mais sustentada, reforçando a importância destas competências no líder, e não tanto as competências técnicas. Como concluído por Goleman, Boyatzis e McKee (2002), com base na investigação de anos, cerca de 500 modelos de competências de empresas globais. Esta ideia é também partilhada por Bass e Avolio (1994) (cit. in Megerian & Sosik, 1996), que referem que líderes que exibem níveis elevados de Inteligência Emocional, estão mais predispostos a apresentar comportamentos de Liderança Transformacional que líderes com níveis de Inteligência Emocional baixos. O estudo tem como objetivo analisar a influência da Inteligência Emocional na Liderança Transformacional percecionada pelos colaboradores em relação aos líderes, assim como na Liderança auto percecionada pelos managers. A amostra deste estudo foi de 41 reports e 12 managers da empresa Pepsico Portugal, que operam na sede. Os dados de Inteligência Emocional foram recolhidos através da escala de Rego e Fernandes (EIE) e a Liderança através do questionário MLQ de Bass e Avolio. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a existência de relação entre Inteligência Emocional e Liderança Transformacional auto percecionada, assim como com algumas das suas dimensões (Influência Idealizada e Consideração individual). No que concerne à Liderança Transformacional percecionada, apenas se verificou relação entre Inteligência Emocional e a dimensão Influência Idealizada.

La presente tesis doctoral se centra en el estudio y clasificación de los recursos empleados en el diseño con tipografía en el medio cinematográfico. Se consideran estas unidades desde el punto de vista estético/formal, sin olvidar su aporte narrativo, por su condición de elemento significativo de lectura autónoma y/o a la vez integrado en la estructura diegética de la obra cinematográfica. Esa integración, basada en la coherencia de estilo gráfico global, se estima que vertebra la concreción de la identidad visual de la obra para ayudar a convertir el producto en marca comercial. Por otro lado, se ilustra la influencia recíproca que se establece entre los diseños de secuencias de título de crédito principales, sobreimpresiones con tipografía, teasers y pósters con lo desarrollado en géneros mixtos tan heterogéneos como el spot publicitario, el vídeo musical y, sobre todo, el vídeo arte y el cine experimental. La estética de todos estos formatos va estrechamente ligada a la incorporación de nuevas técnicas de producción para estos diseños. De ahí la necesidad de clasificar esas técnicas y su aplicación a la composición con tipografía. El proyecto se articula en distintos capítulos que abordan todos y cada uno de los aspectos relacionados con la tipografía en cine: carteles cinematográficos, secuencias de créditos principales y el uso expresivo de sobreimpresiones con tipografía en el contexto argumental. Se ha estimado conveniente solo citar tangencialmente el diseño tipográfico más estrechamente ligado con la ejecución física de la dirección artística del film, ya sea en letreros de decorados o piezas de atrezzo recreadas. El cuerpo de estudio incluye principalmente, no por casualidad, una mayor proporción de filmes norteamericanos. El sector cinematográfico en los EE.UU. además de su mayor volumen de producción, ha sido el primero en ver en el diseño una herramienta eficaz e imprescindible para vender sus productos. Su concepto de industria va parejo a la necesidad de generar la idea de marca en sus productos. Con todo esto, se ha ofrecido un recorrido por las distintas formas de presentar estas informaciones, mediante una clasificación original que ayuda a un mejor acercamiento a las obras y, asimismo, plantear un amplio muestrario que ayude a diseñadores y realizadores a abordar sus trabajos aprovechando al máximo las posibilidades expresivas de estos recursos. Aunque ya existen numerosas publicaciones sobre carteles cinematográficos, ordenados por épocas, géneros e incluso autores, estas siempre se centran en el contenido fotográfico o ilustración, relegando la componente tipográfica a un limbo incomprensible. La pormenorizada estructuración de recursos compositivos con tipografía desarrollada es totalmente inédita. En cuanto a la atención al específico empleo de tipografía en la propia película, tipos en movimiento, en los últimos diez años se ha comprobado un creciente interés por las secuencias de títulos de crédito gracias a diferentes publicaciones de desigual calibre. Entre las principales fuentes cabe destacar: BASS, J., KIRKHAM, P., Saul Bass, a life in film & design, Laurence King Publishing, Londres 2011 BELLANTONI, J., WOOLMAN, M., Tipos en movimiento, Index Books, Barcelona 2000 BETANCOURT, M., The history of motion graphics, from avant-garde to industry in the United States, Wildside Press, Savannah 2013 CODRINGTON, A., Kyle Cooper, Laurence King Publishing, Londres 2003 HERVAS IVARS, C., El diseño gráfico en televisión: técnica, lenguaje y arte, Cátedra, Madrid 2002 HORAK, J., Saul Bass, Anatomy of film design, University Press of Kentucky, Kentucky 2014 SOLANA, G., BONEU, A., Uncredited, Diseño gráfico y títulos de crédito, Index Book S.L., Barcelona 2007

Biological aspects of the blackmouth bass Synagrops bellus from the outer shelf and upper slope along the coast of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil, are presented. The species represented about 71.6% and 9.7% in number of the total catch performed by balloom trawl in the isobaths of 300m and 500m respectively. Body sizes of 266 individuals ranged between 130 and 265mm total length, with sex ratio of 55.9% males, and 44.1% females, where most individuals were in maturation stage. Twenty two food items were found, pointing out Myctophidae fishes, Penaeidea and Caridea shrimps, Brachyuran megalopae, Enoploteuthidae and Cranchiidae cephalopods, pteropods and tunicates. The intestinal coefficient increases as the body size increase, and the number of gill rakers ranged between 16 and 17. Length-weight relationship was WT = 6.0 x 10-6 x TL3.12, r2 = 0.9495. Synagrops bellus is an important link between zooplankton and micronekton, and demersal and pelagic predators in the outer shelf and upper slope in southwestern Brazilian coast.

Sachant que plusieurs maladies entrainent des lésions qui ne sont pas toujours observables à l’oeil, cette étude préliminaire en paléopathologie humaine utilise une approche complémentaire issue de l’imagerie médicale, le ct-scan, afin de fournir des diagnostics plus précis. L’objectif est donc de tester ici l’efficacité et les limites de l’analyse scanographique durant l’analyse de spécimens archéologiques. Un échantillon de 55 individus a été sélectionné à partir de la collection ostéologique provenant du cimetière protestant St. Matthew (ville de Québec, 1771 – 1860). Une analyse macroscopique et scanographique complète a alors été effectuée sur chaque squelette. Les observations macroscopiques ont consisté à enregistrer une dizaine de critères standardisés par la littérature de référence en lien avec des manifestations anormales à la surface du squelette. Les ct-scans ont été réalisés à l’Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique de la Ville de Québec avec un tomodensitomètre Somatom de Siemens (définition AS+ 128). Les données scanographiques ont permis d’enregistrer une série de critères complémentaires sur la structure interne de l’os (amincissement/épaississement de la corticale, variation de densité, etc.) Selon la méthode du diagnostic différentiel, des hypothèses ou diagnostics ont été proposés. Ils sont principalement basés sur les critères diagnostiques mentionnés dans les manuels de référence en paléopathologie, mais aussi à l’aide de la littérature clinique et l’expertise de médecins. Les résultats présentés ici supportent que: 1) Dans 43% des cas, les données scanographiques ont apporté des informations essentielles dans la diagnose pathologique. Cette tendance se confirme en fonction de certaines maladies, mais pas d’autres, car certains diagnostics ne peuvent se faire sans la présence de tissus mous. 2) La distribution spatiale de la plupart des lésions varie selon les régions anatomiques, aussi bien en macroscopie qu’en scanographie. 3) Certains types de maladie semblent associés à l’âge et au sexe, ce qui est conforté par la littérature. 4) Cette recherche démontre aussi que le processus de diagnose nécessite, dans 38% des cas, une analyse complémentaire (ex. histologie, scintigraphie, radiographie) pour préciser le diagnostic final.

L’insuffisance cardiaque (IC) est un problème d’importance grandissante lié à des perturbations des systèmes nerveux autonome, immunitaire, et cardiovasculaire. Ces perturbations contribuent à plusieurs symptômes physiques et psychologiques invalidants. La recherche faite jusqu’ici sur des programmes d’exercice basés sur le yoga a démontré des résultats préliminaires assez prometteurs en IC. Néanmoins, il reste des lacunes à combler dans la littérature face aux populations testées, à la combinaison des mesures physiques et psychologiques, au suivi du traitement à la maison et à la perception des symptômes au quotidien. Ce projet pilote a donc pour objectif de développer un programme d’exercice complémentaire basé sur le yoga adapté aux patients souffrant d’IC, d’en mesurer la faisabilité et l’acceptabilité en plus d’obtenir des données préliminaires quant à l’impact de cette intervention à réduire la symptomatologie physique et psychologique et d’améliorer la qualité de vie (QV) de ces patients. Les deux premiers participants recrutés dans le cadre de l’étude pilote font l’objet de ce mémoire. Ils ont pris part à huit séances hebdomadaires de yoga Bali, couplé de psychoéducation et méditation tous données à l’Institut de Cardiologie de Montréal par une instructrice certifiée dans la méthode BALI. L’élaboration des outils nécessaires au déroulement du programme, y compris le manuel d’enseignement et le DVD, la faisabilité d’une collaboration avec le personnel médical et évidement l’évaluation des effets du programme en soit sur les symptômes physiques et psychologique s sont parmi les sujets abordés. Les résultats, quoique préliminaires, semblent tendre vers une amélioration des corrélats physiologiques liés à l’insuffisance cardiaque, notamment l’activité du système nerveux autonome tel que témoigné par la variabilité de la fréquence cardiaque, et l’inflammation indiqué par le niveau de CRP sanguin.

During the Cold War the foreign policy of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), was heavily criticized by scholars and activists for following the lead of the U.S. state in its overseas operations. In a wide range of states, the AFL-CIO worked to destabilize governments selected by the U.S. state for regime change, while in others the Federation helped stabilize client regimes of the U.S. state. In 1997 the four regional organizations that previously carried out AFL-CIO foreign policy were consolidated into the American Center for International Labor Solidarity (Solidarity Center). My dissertation is an attempt to analyze whether the foreign policy of the AFL-CIO in the Solidarity Center era is marked by continuity or change with past practices. At the same time, this study will attempt to add to the debate over the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the post-Cold War era, and its implications for future study. Using the qualitative “process-tracing” detailed by of Alexander George and Andrew Bennett (2005) my study examines a wide array of primary and secondary sources, including documents from the NED and AFL-CIO, in order to analyze the relationship between the Solidarity Center and the U.S. state from 2002-2009. Furthermore, after analyzing broad trends of NED grants to the Solidarity Center, this study examines three dissimilar case studies including Venezuela, Haiti, and Iraq and the Middle East and North African (MENA) region to further explore the connections between U.S. foreign policy goals and the Solidarity Center operations. The study concludes that the evidence indicates continuity with past AFL-CIO foreign policy practices whereby the Solidarity Center follows the lead of the U.S. state. It has been found that the patterns of NED funding indicate that the Solidarity Center closely tailors its operations abroad in areas of importance to the U.S. state, that it is heavily reliant on state funding via the NED for its operations, and that the Solidarity Center works closely with U.S. allies and coalitions in these regions. Finally, this study argues for the relevance of “top-down” NGO creation and direction in the post-Cold War era.

Druj Aeterni is a large chamber ensemble piece for flute, clarinet, French horn, two trumpets, piano, two percussionists, string quintet, and electric bass. My composition integrates three intellectual pursuits and interests, ancient mythology, cosmology, and mathematics. The title of the piece uses Latin and the language of the Avesta, the holy book of Zoroastrianism, and comments upon a philosophical perspective based in string theory. I abstract the cosmological implications of string theory, apply them to the terminology and theology of Zoroastrianism, and then structure the composition in consideration of a possible reconciliation. The analysis that follows incorporates analytical techniques similar to David Cope’s style of Vectoral Analysis.
