Análise comparativa das metodologias de remuneração adotadas pelas empresas no Brasil e sua influência na mudança organizacional

Este trabalho foi realizado partindo do pressuposto que os salários e benefícios praticados nas organizações podem influenciar significativamente o desempenho e/ou os resultados empresariais até então apresentados pelas empresas; o que é de extrema importância para empresas que vivenciam um momento de mudança organizacional. Neste contexto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo principal revisar as metodologias de remuneração de pessoal e, realizar uma análise comparativa das práticas adotadas pelas empresas no Brasil e da sua influência na mudança organizacional. Esta pesquisa teórica e prática foi implementada através da revisão bibliográfica e da pesquisa de campo. Devido ao nível de complexidade do tema em questão foi utilizada a pesquisa exploratória, para melhor verificar como a remuneração influencia no processo de mudança organizacional. Com base em quatro (4) estudos de caso que foram desenvolvidos a partir de uma análise de conteúdo documental e da análise de questionários, observou-se que a remuneração variável é bastante utilizada como complemento do salário base. O resultado deste trabalho leva-nos a conclusão de que as metodologias de remuneração praticadas pelas empresas analisadas neste estudo foram capazes de influenciar positivamente seus resultados, auxiliando a implementação da mudança organizacional.

A implementação de ações de integração na segurança pública: o caso das polícias civil e militar do Rio Grande do Norte

The research aimed to understand the challenges for the implementation of the proposed integration between the Civil Police and the Military Police in Rio Grande do Norte to the proposals of the SUSP. This study aimed to explore the gap with regard to the deepening of the possible causes that may hinder the implementation of integrated working between the police in public security, through a specific analysis on the state of Rio Grande do Norte. Was based on a theoretical framework that includes policies: general concepts, the steps of a public policy, the implementation stage , public security : conceptual definitions, policies on security in Brazil, the structure of public security in Brazil and systems police, Military Police x Civil Police: Roles and conflicts , integrating public security: the challenges to be overcome, the Unified public Safety (SUSP) and the main difficulties in the integration of the police. Being classified as to the purposes as an exploratory research on how to approach ranks as qualitative. The research unit was the Center for Integrated Operations Public Safety (CIOSP) through three subjects who were the chief CIOSP, the representative of the military police acting with the CIOSP, and representative civil police also active with the CIOSP. These subjects were chosen because of the understanding that individuals occupying senior positions would have more ability to respond to questions that guide the research problem. Data were collected through a set of interviews, qualitative data analysis was performed based content analysis, based on the definition of categories of analysis, gated time cross. With the results, it was revealed that the main problems of integration between the state police are treatment protocols, lack of political will and lack of infrastructure. The relationship between the Military Police and Civil Police in Rio Grande do Norte has differing cultural aspect, but can be considered as good value, professionalism and integrated operations. The implementation of CIOSP-RN followed the characteristics of the top-down model, the main difficulties in implementing the proposals of the SUSP, lack of own resources, the lack of standardization in public safety and the lack of professional training of public safety. It was concluded that with respect to the challenges to the implementation of the proposed integration between the Civil Police and the Military Police in Rio Grande do Norte to the proposals of the SUSP, the actions follow the characteristics of the top-down model, with no autonomy of administrators public to say in decisions, which restricts the view of the public safety of the state

Precificação da energia eólica offshore no Brasil

Offshore wind power emits low amounts of gases, is renewable and has better performance than onshore due to its greater stability and higher wind power density, less visual and noise impact, among others. Brazil has a high capacity of generation, but has not yet developed any offshore projects. High costs are a strong impediment. This study is an effort towards pricing offshore resources through Livelized Cost of Energy - LCOE, which represents the minimum return to cover the costs of development, production and maintenance of a wind project. Initially LCOE was calculated for all Brazilian onshore wind farms listed at Bloomberg New Energy Finance R○, accounting for 71 farms. Then hypothetical offshore wind farms were created from the onshore farms, tripling the cost of generation, which is consistent with the literature, and estimating the offshore energy for two locations off the Brazilian coast using satellite data extracted from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The results demonstrate that offshore resources have the potential to significantly reduce the energy price due to the better performance of the wind at sea

Motivação e Satisfação dos Discentes do Instituto Universitário Militar

Tendo como objeto de estudo a identificação dos fatores da Motivação e Satisfação dos discentes do Curso de Promoção a Oficial General, Curso de Estado-Maior Conjunto e Curso de Promoção a Oficial Superior, pretende-se com esta investigação, identificar as medidas a implementar para o seu aumento, tendo em consideração as especificidades de cada curso e o ramo das Forças Armadas e/ou Guarda Nacional Republicana a que pertencem os discentes. Apoiando a consecução deste objetivo, foi construído e aplicado um questionário à população alvo. Assim, constatou-se que a componente Desenvolvimento pessoal da Motivação, relacionada com a vontade e o desejo de querer aprender, constitui-se o principal fator motivador, com os discentes do Exército e do Curso de Estado-Maior Conjunto a apresentarem os maiores índices motivacionais. Relativamente à Satisfação, constatou-se que as principais (importantes) causas de satisfação são a Qualidade dos docentes e os Conteúdos programáticos/metodologia, ainda que não constituindo as causas com as quais os discentes demonstram maior satisfação. O Curso de Promoção a Oficial Superior, com foco nos ramos da Força Aérea e Marinha, representa os discentes menos satisfeitos. Decorrente dos resultados conclui-se então, da necessidade de implementar medidas diretamente relacionadas com o processo de aprendizagem para aumento da Motivação e Satisfação dos discentes do Instituto Universitário Militar. Igualmente, verificou-se a influência nessas variáveis, da diferente valorização dos cursos em estudo por parte dos Ramos. Abstract: With the research object of study, the identification of Motivation factors and Satisfaction of students of Flag Officers Course, Joint Staff Course and Field Grade Officers Course, it is intended, identify the measures to be implemented to its increase, taking into account the specificities of each course and the branch of the armed forces and / or Republican National Guard that belong the various students. To achieve this objective, it was constructed and applied a questionnaire to the target population. Thus, it was found that the Personal Development component of Motivation related to the will and desire to want to learn, it constitutes the main motivating factor, with the students of the Army and the Joint Staff Course to present the greatest motivational indexes. Regarding to Satisfaction, it was found that the key (important) satisfaction causes are the quality of teachers and programmatic contents / methodology, although not constituting the causes with which students demonstrate greater satisfaction. Highlights the less satisfaction between students of Field Grade Officers Course, with focus on the branches of the Air Force and Navy. Due to the results it is concluded then, the need to implement measures directly related to the learning process for increasing student Motivation and Satisfaction, and its influence by the different valuation by each branch.

Acerca da existência de pensadoras no Brasil e na América Latina

Neste texto, procuramos pelas pensadoras latino-americanas, com ênfase nas pensadoras brasileiras. O pensamento de autoria feminina abre-se para um campo multidisciplinar; nele reconhecemos um protagonismo revelador de identidades femininas reflexivas exemplares. Buscamos fazer um inventário inicial da reflexão protagonizada por mulheres, entre nós, e constatamos a necessidade de uma obra de referência que se dedique exclusivamente ao pensamento delas, no contexto latino-americano e brasileiro, para evitar que a marginalização da produção filosófica feminina se dissolva no problema mais geral do desaparecimento da filosofia latino-americana. Dialogamos com o Diário de um Filósofo no Brasil, de Julio Cabrera, perguntando por categorias capazes de revelar as nossas pensadoras, em suas singularidades e diferenças. Neste sentido, apresentamos duas categorias, abrangentes e inaugurais: párias e exiladas, recuperando, para os nossos propósitos, algumas reflexões de Flora Tristán, Hannah Arendt e María Zambrano. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT

A Academia Militar e a Guerra de Àfrica.

Para um "filho da Guerra de Àfrica", que entrou pelas portas do Paço da Rainha com o curso D. Pedro, Infante de Portugal, constitui simultaneamente uma honra e uma responsabilidade acrescida, abordar a temática da formação dos quadros na Academia entre 1960 e 1974. Constitui uma honra e um privilégio, em virtude do voto de confiança em mim depositado pelo Comando da Academia Militar, julgo que em função da minha ligação privilegiada à casa mãe dos oficiais do exército (sem deixar de o ser para a Força Aérea e para a GNR) como professor, como comandante de companhia de alunos, como comandante do 1º batalhão de alunos e como autor de algumas obras sobre a História da Academia Militar. A responsabilidade acrescida advém do facto de abordar um período ainda muito recente da História da Academia Militar, cujos actores, com quem trabalhei ao longo dos últimos 30 anos, são naturalmente os melhores juízes e observadores. Ao longo do trabalho de pesquisa, tive o prazer de "reviver" centenas de camaradas que constituíram e constituem uma referência para a minha geração, como comandantes, como militares , e como homens que serviram Portugal pelos quatro cantos do mundo, com elevado sacrifício pessoal, alguns deles com o sacrifício pessoal, alguns deles com o sacrifício da própria vida. Começar esta análise em 1960 ( há cerca de 49 anos ) levou-me de imediato ao Capitão de Artilharia Abel Cabral Couto, já então professor catedrático da 45º cadeira, ou ao Tenente Faia Correia, então instrutor de táctica de artilharia, oficiais da minha arma que muito estimo e respeito e que deste modo me deram mais duas lições: que 50 anos foi efectivamente "ontem", em termos da história de uma Instituição; que vale a pena servir com devoção, a Academia Militar, o Exército e Portugal. Assim, optei por uma metodologia que passa pela análise da evolução da formação na Academia Militar no período em estudo, conjugada pelas percepções decorrentes de pequenas entrevistas que efectuei a alguns dos "cadetes" dos diferentes cursos da Academia Militar, mas também a alguns dos muitos oficiais milicianos que dignificaram Portugal em todos os teatros de operações (TO). Estas "entrevistas" foram muito importantes para confirmar (ou não) os dados mais científicos retirados fundamentalmente da "Resenha Histórico-Militar das Campanhas de Àfrica (1961-1974)" e dos "Anuários da Academia Militar" (entre 1959/60 e 1973/74), mas também para me abrirem novos caminhos de análise até então não equacionados. relativamente á formação da Academia Militar 1960-1974, entendi mais adequado analisar as preocupações de cada um dos comandantes (manifestadas através do "Pórtico" ou nos diferentes discursos publicados nos Anuários), o progresso da legislação (orientada prioritariamente para a Guerra de Àfrica e para o recrutamento), os planos dos cursos (nas suas três componentes; científica, militar e cultural) e, separadamente, as actividades circum-escolares e cerimónias académicas e militares mais relacionadas com a componente cultural, com a formação geral, a disciplina e o "espírito". Sem deixar de abordar de modo muito genérico a formação dos oficiais milicianos neste mesmo período, termino com dez considerações finais mais em jeito de desafios (para um trabalho mais cuidado) do que de contributos para uma História da Academia Militar no período de 1960 a 1974.

O descompasso de uma experiência: avaliação do Programa Habitar Brasil na Comunidade África-Natal/RN

This research deals with the evaluation of the Programa do Governo Federal para Urbanização de Favelas Habitar Brasil(1993) carried out in the Africa slum - Redinha neighbourhood in Natal-Rn. This study carried out in period from 2005 to 2006 searches to identify the effects of the actions proposed by Program in 1993-1994 about the current urbanistic configuration of the Africa community. It analyzes the effectiveness in the process of achievement of the considered objectives to habitation, communitity equipments, infrastructure and agrarian regularization. On the evaluation process, it has been as reference the works developed by Adauto Cardoso (2004), Blaine Worthen (2004), Ronaldo Garcia (2001) and Rosângela Paz (2006). About the Habitational Policy with approach to the Urbanistic Right and the right to the housing, the reflections by Raquel Rolnik, Nabil Bonduki, Ermínia Maricato, Saule Júnior, Betânia de Moraes Alfonsin and Edésio Fernandes are main references. To gauge the execution of the objectives proposed by Habitar Brasil in 1993, it has searched in the documentary data of the time and in information gotten in interviews with technicians that had participated of the program, consistent references on what was considered, what was executed and the process of the intervention of Habitar Brasil in the Africa community. The area analysis in 2005-2006 has developed on the base of the urbanistic survey of the current situation from the four performance lines of the Program: habitation, infrastructure, community equipments and agrarian regularization, with a current urbanistic evaluation of Africa considering the intervention carried out in 1993 and 1994. The study points out the context of Brazilian Habitational Policy where the Programa Habitar Brasil was launched, explaining the main principles of the Program. In terms of local, it empahsizes the administrative-political factors that had contributed so that Natal-Rn city has been pioneering in the resources captation of Habitar Brazil (1993). Considering Habitar Brazil in Africa, the work argues and presents the intervention diagnosis and the proposal, developed by Program in 1993 evidencing the local problem of the time. After that, it makes a current reading of the area, identifying in 2006 representative elements of Habitar Brasil (1993-1994) for the Africa community. It identifies significant advances in the constitution of the institucional apparatus of the plaining system of Habitation of Social Interest for the city of Natal and points the fragilities in the implementation of the urban infrastructure actions and above all in the achievement of the objectives of the agrarian regularization

Ecologia alimentar e reprodutiva da piaba-do-rabo-amarelo, Astyanax cf. lacustris (Reinhardt, 1874) (Osteichthyes: Characidae) na Lagoa do Piató, Assu, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil

The feeding habits and biological aspects of the reproductive cycle of two-spot astyanax, Astyanax cf. lacustris (Reinhardt, 1874) were investigated. Fish samples were captured on a monthly basis, using gillnets of 4 cm mesh size, from the Piató Lake, Assu, Rio Grande do Norte, during the period of September, 2006 to August, 2007. Physico-chemical parameters, such as, temperature, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen of the lake were registered. The monthly values of rainfall also were obtained. The 360 individuals captured, were measured, weighed, dissected, and stomach weight and the stage of gonadal maturity were registered. The stomach contents analyses were carried out based on volumetric method, points, frequency of occurrence and applying the Index of Relative Importance. The degrees of repletion of the stomachs were determined besides the Index of Repletion relating to feeding activity variations and frequency of ingestion with limnological parameters and rainfall. The food items identified were separated into distinct groups according to their origin. Sex ratio and Gonadosomatic Relation of females were verified to determine the spawning period and fecundity. The physico-chemical parameters presented the following annual mean values: temperature = 28.8ºC, electrical conductivity = 992.5 µS.cm-1; dissolved oxygen = 4.9 mg.L-1 during the study period. The annual mean of the rainfall was 63.5 mm. The results indicate that this species present an omnivorous feeding habit with a tendency towards insectivory, with an increase in feeding activity during the dry season. The aquatic oxygen to interfere very importance in the feeding activity than the others factors physico-chemicals of water and rainfall. There was a predominance of females, with a sex proportion of 1M:7F. The macroscopic characteristics of the ovaries and testicles revealed four stages of gonadal development: immature, maturing, mature and spent. A temporal variation was observed for the gonadal development of males and females. There was reproductive activity through out the year, with peaks in the months of February, April and June to correspond with the rain of precipitation of the region. The mean fecundity was 7.681 mature oocytes, varying from 4.476 to 12.036, with mean of 7.681. There was positive relation between fecundity and body mass. Condition Factor is not an efficient indicator of the reproductive period of this species. The species A. cf. lacustris is an opportunist and is well adapted to the conditions of the semi-arid Caatinga Biome

Distribuição e abundância da malacofauna epibentônica no Parracho de Maracajaú, RN, Brasil

The mollusks present a great taxon variety and life habits in coral reefs being good environmental indicators. It is important to know the distribution pattern of the mollusks and the processes that influence it, so that disturbances in sea ecosystems could be monitored. The present study aims to accomplish the inventory and distribution of epibenthic mollusks in the Parracho of Maracajaú. 23 sites in different habitats of the Parracho were settled: 11 in the reef habitat, 3 in the sandy bottom and 9 in the seagrass bed. Qualitative and quantitative samplings have been done through snorkeling and scuba diving. Three band transects (10m²) were sampled in each site and the data were obtained to each m² of the transect, where the species were counted and the environmental variables (rugosity and recovery of the substratum) were valued. The data were submitted to multivariate analyses in order to find possible distribution patterns that could be associated to the substratum variables. The diversity indexes were calculated for each reef sites and compared with each other. A number of 46 species were registered. The reef habit at should to be the richnest area while the sandy bottom was poorest one. In the reef habitat, the mollusks were associated to rugosity and recovering of frondose algae and zoanthids, while for the seagrass bed, the animals exhibited a richness variation associated to the muddy and sandy sediment. There were found 3 species economically explored, what requires an appropriate management for the maintenance and conservation of the area resources in a sustainable way

Estrutura e dinâmica do fitoplânctone bacterioplâncton em cultivos de camarão no Rio Grande do Norte-Brasil: impacto sobre o ambiente natural

This work aimed to study the structure and dynamic of Phytoplankton and Bacterioplankton in a complete cycle of shrimp cultivation (Litopenaeus vannamei) and determine the environmental factors responsible for the structural changes of these communities. The study was realized in a saltwater shrimp farm (Macaíba, RN), between September/2005 and February/2006, and in a freshwater shrimp farm (Ceará Mirim, RN), between May/2007 and September 2007. The samplings were collected weekly in saltwater farm and every fifteen days in freshwater farm. Total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and environmental parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature, depth and water transparency) were measured. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the phytoplankton and bacterioplankton were carried out. The Shannon-Wiener ecologic indexes of diversity and the Pielou equitability indexes were calculated to the phytoplankton. Bacterial density was determined by epifluorescence microscopy. The data were statistically analyzed by Pearson correlation and t-Test. Chlorophycea were predominat in salt water and in the captation/drainage point (24 to 99%). Diatoms had higher wealth. The species Choricystis minor had the highest occurrence (100%) and dominance (90-100%), thus showing its adaptation to the high temperatures, salinity and low water transparency conditions. Filamentous Cyanobacteria like Oscillatoria sp., Pseudoanabaena sp. and Phormidium sp. had constant levels. The negative correlation between chlorophycea and water transparency, and the positive correlation between chlorophyll a and salinity, showed that the phytoplankton was well adapted to the low transparency and to the high salinity. The bacterioplankton was negatively correlated with the total phosphorus and salinity. In freshwater, Cyanobacteria were predominant (>80%), presenting some producers of toxins species like Microcystis sp., Aphanizomenon sp., Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii e Anabaena circinalis. Cyanobacterial density and total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations exceeded the maximum value allowed by legislation. The means of total phosphorus varied from 264 to 627 Wg.L-1 and the means of chlorophyll a oscillated between 22 and 182 Wg.L-1. The phytoplankton species were selected by low availability of the light, high pH, temperature and high availability of total phosphorus. The bacterioplankton showed high densities (5,13 x 107 to 8,50 x107 Bac.mL-1). The studied environments (ponds and rivers) presented a high level of trophic state based on the high concentrations of chlorophyll a and total phosphorus and cyanobacteria dominance. The composition of species in the ponds and rivers was similar, as well as high concentrations of total phosphorus and chlorophyll a, highlighting the pollution caused by the discharges of the farms in natural environment

Variação no conteúdo protéico e pigmentar em variantes cromáticas de Gracilaria domingensis nas populações naturais de Rio do Fogo-RN, BRASIL

The seaweed Gracilaria domingensis is a common species in the coast of Rio Grande do Norte. This species lives in the intertidal zone, where colour strains (red, green and brown) co-occur during the whole year. Seaweeds that live in this region are exposed to daily changes and to the rhythm of the tide. During the low tide they are exposed to dissection, hiper-or hipo-osmotic shock, high temperatures and high irradiance. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the pigment and protein content of the colour strains of G. domingensis is affected by some environmental parameters in a temporal scale. The seaweeds were collected during 10 months in the seashore of Rio do Fogo (RN). The total soluble proteins and the phycobiliprotein were extracted in phosphate buffer and the carotenoids were analyzed by a standardized method through HPLC-UV. The pigments analysis showed that phycoerithrin is the most abundant pigment in the three strains. This pigment was strongly correlated with nitrogen and the photosynthetically active radiation. Chlorophyll presented higher concentrations than carotenoids during the whole, but the ratio carotenoid/chlorophyll-a was modified by incident radiation. The most abundant carotenoid was ß-carotene and zeaxanthin, which had higher concentrations in the higher radiation months. The concentration increase of zeaxanthin in this period indicated a photoprotective response of the seaweed. The three strains presented a pigment profile that indicates different radiation tolerance profile. Our results pointed that the green strain is better adapted to high irradiance levels than the red and brown strains

Investigação e avaliação da toxicidade aguda dos agrotóxicos mais utilizados no cinturão verde da Grande Natal (RN, Brasil) para o peixe-zebra (Danio rerio Hamilton Buchanan, 1822, Teleostei, Cyprinidae

The objectives of this research were to investigate the agrotoxic most used in the Gramorezinho region in the green belt of Natal, and to evaluate the acute toxicity of these, based on the LC50-48h values estimated in tests for Danio rerio, internationally used as test organism. The acute toxicity tests were performed under laboratory conditions, according to standardized methods (ABNT/NBR/15088/04) for this species. The LC50-48h estimated to Tamaron BR was 352.89 mg.L-1, which characterizes that as practically non-toxic, according to toxicological classes cited by Zucker. For Decis 25EC, the LC50-48h estimated was 0.0004156 mg.L-1 (4.156 X 10-4 mg.L-1), which classifies it as highly toxic to this species

Análise da estrutura e transporte do zooplâncton no estuário do Rio Caravelas (Bahia-Brasil) através do uso do zooscan

Spatial-temporal dynamics of zooplankton in the Caravelas river estuary (Bahia, Brazil). The survey was conducted in order to describe the zooplankton community of the estuary Caravelas (Bahia, Brazil), to quantify and relate the patterns of horizontal and vertical transport with the type of tide (neap and spring) and tidal phase (flood and ebb). Zooplankton samples were collected with the aid of a suction pump (300L), filtered in plankton nets (300μm) and fixed in saline formalin 4%. Samples were collected at a fixed point (A1), near the mouth of the estuary, with samples taken at neap tides and spring tides during the dry and rainy seasons. Samples were collected for 13 hours, at intervals of 1 hour in 3 depths: surface, middle and bottom. Simultaneous collection of biological, we measured the current velocity, temperature and salinity of the water through CTD. In the laboratory, samples were selected for analysis in estereomicroscope, with 25 groups identified, with Copepoda getting the highest number of species. The 168 samples obtained from temporal samples were subsampled and processed on equipment ZooScan, with the aid of software ZooProcess at the end were generated 458.997 vingnettes. 8 taxa were identified automatically, with 16 classified as a semi-automatic. The group Copepoda, despite the limited taxonomic refinement ZooScan, obtained 2 genera and 1 species identified automatically. Among the seasons dry and wet groups Brachyura (zoea), Chaetognatha, and the Calanoid copepods (others), Temora spp., Oithona spp. and Euterpina acutifrons were those who had higher frequency of occurrence, appearing in more than 70% of the samples. Copepoda group showed the largest percentage of relative abundance in both seasons. There was no seasonal variation of total zooplankton, with an average density of 7826±4219 org.m-3 in the dry season, and 7959±3675 org.m-3 in the rainy season, neither between the types and phases of the tides, but seasonal differences were significant recorded for the main zooplankton groups. Vertical stratification was seen for the major zooplankton groups (Brachyura, Chaetognatha, Calanoida (other), Oithona spp, Temora spp. e Euterpina acutifrons). The scale of this stratification varied with the type (square or tide) and tidal phase (flood or ebb). The instantaneous transport was more influenced by current velocity, with higher values observed in spring tides to the total zooplankton, however, there was a variation of this pattern depending on the zooplankton group. According to the data import and export of total zooplankton, the outflow of organisms of the estuary was higher than the input. The results suggest that the estuary of Caravelas may influence the dynamics of organic matter to the adjacent coast, with possible consequences in National Marine Park of Abrolhos
