Análise da ferramenta LEED para a certificação de edifícios sustentáveis no Brasil

CCurrently there are various systems for the evaluation of environmental impacts of buildings, known as tools of environmental certification. Among these, the tool LEED for New Construction and Major Renovations has been the most widely used and accepted worldwide, in assessing the sustainability of buildings. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the tool for LEED certification for construction work in Brazil, which ranks fourth in the world ranking records certification of sustainable buildings. It was found in this analysis that the assumptions of this tool are encouraging the use of more sustainable and less impactful on the environment as it promotes the deployment of innovative projects from a technological standpoint, , as well as the valuation of enterprises certified. Also, very significant results obtained in terms of energy efficiency and environmental quality in occupied buildings

Conhecendo a história oculta das coisas. Em busca de um consumo responsável: cartilha de base para iniciativas educacionais formais e informais

A sociedade contemporânea presencia um momento mundial bastante crítico, no qual se faz presente uma crise sócio-ambiental que tende a se agravar a cada dia devido à exploração e distribuição de recursos naturais inadequadas. Na busca de um modelo que torne viável a sobrevivência das futuras gerações de todas as espécies viventes, faz-se necessária uma alteração do paradigma antropocêntrico vigente, para um paradigma biocêntrico, comprometido com todas as formas de vida do planeta. A mudança dos padrões consumistas presentes no sistema capitalista para padrões permeados pelo consumo sustentável torna-se base essencial para esta mudança de paradigmas. Em tal processo de transição, a educação aparece como uma importante ferramenta para a formação de indivíduos conscientes, criativos e portadores de senso crítico, enfim, indivíduos mais capazes de promover as mudanças de padrões necessárias. Surge então a necessidade de uma educação inovadora, que promova a formação de cidadãos conscientes e atuantes. A partir dessas necessidades, surge o trabalho aqui exposto, com o objetivo de proporcionar uma cartilha de base para iniciativas educacionais voltadas ao consumo responsável.

Análise da distribuição dos subtipos de Linepithema micans (Formicidae: Dolichoderinae) na região sul do Brasil através da ferramenta molecular barcode

Formigas do gênero Linepithema se encontram distribuídas amplamente por todo o globo, algumas delas, como Linepithema humile são muito conhecidas por sua ação invasora, comprometendo fauna e flora dos ambientes que invadem. Devido a notoriedade dessa espécie, há uma tendência em identificar erroneamente como L. humile as espécies próximas. Assim ocorreu com outras espécies da região Sul do Brasil com características próximas a ela. L. micans é a principal espécie que se associa com a pérola-da-terra Eurhizococcus brasiliensis (Hemíptera: Margarodidae), importante praga na vinicultura gaúcha. Análises preliminares revelaram a existência de três subtipos de L. micans. No presente estudo foram analisadas diferentes populações de L. micans das vinícolas do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul com a utilização de dois genes mitocondriais, utilizados para DNA Barcode de animais, com o propósito de estabelecer a distribuição dos diferentes mitótipos de L. micans. O resultado obtido revelou a existência de 14 haplótipos, sendo 12 novos e a análise da rede de haplótipos sugere a existência de dois possíveis grupos ancestrais

Projeto de recuperação da planta termelétrica do Laboratório de Vapor do Departamento de Energia da Faculdade de Engenharia de Guaratinguetá

Brazil is nowadays the greatest bet of investors for the future due to its stable economy growth. The country has grown side by side with the greatest demand for electrical energy. The international appeal for renewable sources is causing a change in the Brazilian energetic matrix, raising the amount of energy generated by thermoelectric power plants. The construction of new power plants, running on biomass, requires a crescent number of capacitated personnel to run them. The Faculdade de Engenharia de Guaratinguetá – UNESP – has a steam laboratory; witch is deactivated, which has a thermoelectric plant of small capacity. The laboratory reactivation and the return of its activities can be an important tool in order to graduate engineer able to operate on such units.

Aplicação do DMAIC em uma indústria farmacêutica

In an industry, being a big one or small one, the process improvement is always a focus for it to increase in the market. The improvement, if searched in a simple meaning, brings the unique meaning of change to better. However the meaning of process improvement can take much more than a superficial point of view. Kaizen, Process improvement, Continuous improvement, they are some denotations much more comprehensive of a such a term carried of so many meanings. A good concept of improvement if to search inside processes a more appropriate way, a more succinct, a more economic way to realize it. The idea is to make the process in a better way. In this graduation thesis, there will be presented a process improvement realized in a Vale do Paraíba company. For that, it was used the DMAIC to obtain, measure and control the process improvement. It should be noted that the goal is to present and discuss a process improvement

O twitter enquanto ferramenta de Relações Públicas para construir relacionamento: um estudo multicasos

Technological development in the IT and telecommunications sectors have transformed the way organizations communicate with their audiences. Social Media allow the exchange of information instantaneously, in a communication from many to many. With few studies in the area, many companies venture into the social media without a strategy and a generally end up denigrating their image itself. Thus, this study was conceived from the idea of contributing, analytically, based on the main concepts of Public Relations so the organizations effectively take advantage of their online presence to generate relationships, more specifically, on Twitter.Twitter is a social media with a mature public, requiring dynamics of information and quick answers, based on dialogue, referring to the idea of text messages (SMS). To better expose the results of this research, three organizations with expertise in twitter were chosen: Bradesco , Positivo Informática and Ponto Frio. The choice of case studies was based on the different segments that each one operates and that they are large companies with reputable commercial operations in the Brazilian scenario. To analyze their profiles, several authors were studied, like Fábio França, Maria Aparecida Ferrari, Margarida Kunsch e Marlene Machiori.The intent of the analysis of the Twitter profiles of these organizations is to understand whether they are using strategies for creating and maintaining relationships with your followers and how this occurs from specific categories, as other companies have committed serious errors and impairing their business because of mismanagement in social media. Therefore, the profiles were analyzed from the netnográfica methodology. As a result, it was observed that organizations have not yet developed the character of relationships in social media , treating this channel as another advertising channel It was observed that Positivo Informática has no specific strategy for Twitter...

Análise crítica de contratos técnicos como ferramenta para melhoria da gestão da manutenção

Currently, due to the highly competitive search among industries are becoming more tools for managing product that provides higher availability and therefore profitability. Maintenance as a strategic sector and of fundamental importance in business, it seeks to maximize availability and available resources, minimizing costs and waste, which directly impacts the company's results. The present work has as main objective the review of contracts for maintenance services for companies contracted by a chemical company in the Paraíba Valley, since most of its maintenance services are outsourced, and raise these contracts which are more critical and higher risk to the company's success, thus creating a tool for decision-making by maintenance managers in the act of seeking renewals or new contracts to provide services. As a result after drawing up a standard procedure for contracting of services and a better structuring of the same, we developed a method for the calculation of the criticality of the contracts and based on these calculations, charts were prepared which showed that the current scenario of maintenance contracts the company studied. Thus it is possible to evaluate the contracts which are most critical to the success or failure of the company studied, and also pave the way for further studies on how this criticality of a contract can affect the relationship, the contractor x contracted

Caracterização dos usuários do setor urbano privado sujeitos a cobrança pelo uso dos recursos hídricos do Estado de São Paulo nas bacias PCJ e avaliação da demanda de água deste setor como ferramenta de gestão

The present study is about data characterization and evaluation related to private urban users (legal entity) of the Watersheds of the rivers Piracicaba, Capivari, and Jundiai (PCJ), with the PCJ Collection System, sustained by the Department of Water and Power (DAEE), in order to: provide quantitative numbers about this sector, identifying the cities and economic activities corresponding to the largest water consumers, and determine the sector's share in the total charged contribution. The charge for water use is the most recent and the last instrument which has been implemented for the management of water resources, provided by the institution of the State and National Policy of Water Resources in 1991 and 1997, respectively, regarded as an important step towards the preservation and restoration of water resources. According to the data collected in the PCJ Collection System, the urban sector is the private sector that has the highest number of users in these watersheds (52,95% of users), but with less representation in the financial recovery (only 7%), due to its low water demand in their uses compared to the uses of other sectors. The collected data will also serve as both a parameter for comparing the amount of water used by different economic activities and municipalities in the PCJ watersheds and other locations, and as a tool for water resources management

Aplicação dos conceitos de RCM e a ferramenta FMEA no aumento de confiabilidade em equipamentos de uma indústria química

The growing demand for quality at competitive prices and fast production process put to the test function in the industrial Maintenance. The need for equipment with high availability to fit this fierce competitiveness makes maintenance becomes essentially reliable. Despite this current context, many companies still have an old view of maintenance, focused only on corrective services, and proposals for change are often neglected due to the sense of urgency day to day. Thus, this study aims to demonstrate through theoretical applicability of simple tool, but of great value in increasing reliability within the maintenance sector of an industry, applying the concepts of Reliability Centered Maintenance – RCM and Analysis tool Failure Modes and Effects – FMEA in equipment of a chemical company directly involved in the manufacturing process of the brake fluid, which this product is used in vehicles around the country. That way, you can identify the types, occurrence and criticality of each failure and evaluate assertively decision making for each device, avoiding unnecessary downtime and potential failures of the same

Foraminíferos em testemunho do manguezal do Canal de Bertioga (SP): padrões de estrutura de comunidades aplicáveis em reconstruções paleoambientais

Nowadays, there is a search for knowledgment that could be applied in the solution of the problems caused by petrolific activities involving the environment, like the biodiversity preservation and the ecosystems monitoring and management. Foraminifera (Protista) are used as an important tool to the environment characterizarion, because they answer quickly to the fisic-quimic variations and indicate local alterations. The goal of this job is to create models of foraminiferal communities composition through the screening of subsuperficial samples obtained from a core collect from Bertioga Channel, Baixada Santista (SP), trying to understand the influence of the environmental variations along the time upon the indicator species presence, as well as making paleoenvironmentals reconstructions of the area. A 80 cm-core was removed in the outer edge of marsh adjacent to Bertioga Channel, not far from the confluence with the Itapanhaú River. There are presented in abundance, equitability, diversity and species richness obtained in nine samples along the sediment. The lower part of the core is compound by calcareous species (rotalideos and miliolideos) with domain Ammonia (Biofacies 1) and the intermediate and upper parts contain mainly agglutinated species (Biofacies 2 and 3, which is dominated by species of Ammotium). The qualitative and quantitative study of the microfauna of foraminifera present in the core reveals that in recent decades the sampling area passed from a condition of infra-marginal strip under significant coastal marine influence for the condition of inter-coastal swamp covered with mangrove vegetation. This change indicates that the site has undergone a process of sediment progradation, a phenomenon that may have been timely, localized, or a reflection of a relative fall in sea level at the regional level

Uma arma docente: escrita como reflexão, empoderamento e mudança

O presente trabalho problematiza de que forma a escrita sobre a prática pedagógica pode contribuir para a promoção do empoderamento do professor. Para isto, desenvolvo uma pesquisa documental (LÜDKE; ANDRÉ, 1986), a partir das escritas de um grupo de professores, denominadas “Pipocas Pedagógicas”, crônicas em que são relatados acontecimentos de sua vida escolar, como profissionais e também como alunos. Estes professores são participantes do “Grupo de Terça” vinculado ao Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisa em Educação Continuada (GEPEC), ligado ao Programa de Pós Graduação da Faculdade de Educação da UNICAMP. A pesquisa, foi subsidiada por entrevistas com dois destes professores escritores, para melhor compreender como se desenvolve essa prática. A partir da análise deste material, o estudo perpassa sobre a importância da reflexão sobre a prática pedagógica, como forma de pesquisá-la. Estas temáticas foram necessárias para aprofundar o conceito de empoderamento, e poder pensá-lo dentro da realidade educacional, uma vez que a reflexão articulada ao conhecimento são fatores que podem levar ao empoderamento. Em função disso, realizei uma pesquisa bibliográfica, buscando o conceito de empoderamento em duas bases teóricas: SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) e Anais da ANPEd (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação), nos quais analisarei os artigos referentes aos Grupos de Trabalho: GT03 – Movimentos Sociais, Sujeitos e Processos Educativos; GT06 – Educação Popular; GT08 – Formação de Professores; GT18 – Educação de Pessoas Jovens e Adultas, fazendo um recorte entre os anos de 2000 a 2011. Desta forma, pretendo contribuir com reflexões que possibilitem (re)pensar formas de se chegar ao empoderamento docente e a consequência disto nos modos de se enxergar à educação

A implantação da televisão digital terrestre na Espanha

This monograph has as objectives introduce digital terrestrial television, describing the process of installation of this in Spain, their technical qualities and possibilities of change and innovation that this creates. The exposure of the different chapters of this monograph has a objective presenting and discussing what are the characteristics of this new technology, your birth, what is its importance in communication and how this is inserted inside the Spanish reality. The introduction of digital terrestrial television in Spain is cited as an example of a pioneer in the development and installation of this new technology, but also appears as a nation that has come a way with some economic failures, reaching one of the largest cases of delayed installation of digital television in Western Europe. Making use of the European system for digital terrestrial television (DVB-T - Digital Video Broadcasting) it was possible some advances as the quality of communication and strengthening national public television system, but many vices of analog system were transferred this new system, as the concentration of channels to a foreign group and interactivity opportunities were wasted. Digital terrestrial television can provides better picture quality and sound, possibility of interactivity, mobility, hypermedia and multiprogramming, while the latter tool may lead to the democratization of media, opening it to other social agents. Going much further than just a technological advancement, digital television is strongly connected with the politics and the economy of the nation in which it operates
