As relações públicas para além das guest relations: relatório de estágio no grupo Porto Bay Hotels & Resorts

Foi realizado um estágio no grupo Porto Bay Hotels & Resorts, um grupo hoteleiro da Região Autónoma da Madeira, com a duração de três meses. Apresenta-se assim no presente trabalho uma perspectiva das Relações Públicas no sector do turismo e hotelaria bem como a discussão do porquê do afunilamento desta função de gestão das relações entre as organizações e os seus públicos nas Guest Relations em algumas das unidades hoteleiras em que trabalhámos. O turismo é actualmente um dos principais sectores da economia mundial. A sobrevivência de um destino turístico, unidade hoteleira ou mesmo de um resort, depende em muito da percepção que os seus stakeholders têm da qualidade dos seus serviços. Assim as Relações Públicas, como em outros sectores, assumem um papel de destaque sendo que estas têm a capacidade de trabalhar a relação entre uma organização e os seus stakeholders, gerindo conflitos e expressando uma identidade positiva sobre a mesma e trabalhando a sua reputação e visibilidade. Em suma este trabalho pretende compreender e reflectir sobre as relações públicas no sector do turismo e hotelaria mesmo quando não o são assim entendidas. Defender-se-á uma perspectiva global, integrada e proactiva das Relações Públicas no sector hoteleiro.

Structural studies and gabbro mylonitization within the Barton Bay Deformation Zone, Geraldton, Ontario /

Structures related to ductile siMple shear parallel to the Bankf ield-Tonbill Fault, define a 5km wide zone, the Barton Bay Deformation Zone. Structures present within this zone Include; simple shear fabrics S, C and C , asymmetric Z shaped folds with rotated axes, boudinage and pinch and swell structures and a subhorlzontal extension llneation. The most highly deformed rock is a gabbro mylonite which occurs in the fault zone. The deformation of this gabbro has been traced in stages from a protomylonite to an ultramylonite In which feldspar and chlorite grainslze has been reduced from over 100 microns to as little as 5 microns. Evidence from the mylonite and the surrounding structure indicates that deformation within the Barton Bay Deformation Zone is related to a regional simple shear zone, the Bankf ield-Tombill Fault. Movement along this shear zone was in a south over north oblique strike slip fashion with a dextral sense of displacement.

Palynology of late-glacial and postglacial sediments in Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada, as related to the Great Lakes history /

This investigation comprises three parts: (1) the source, mechanism of transport, and distribution of pollen, spores and other palynomorphs in Georgian Bay bottom sediments and a comparison of these data with the contemporary vegetation, (2) the relative significance of fluvial transportation of pollen and spores, and (3) the late- and postglacial history of vegetational and climatic changes in the Georgicin Bay region. Modem pollen and spore assemblages in Georgian Bay do reflect the surrovinding vegetation when preservation and pollen production by the different species are considered and accounted for. Relative pollen percentage and concentration isopoll patterns indicate that rivers contribute large quantities of pollen and spores to Georgian Bay. This is further substantiated by large amounts of pollen and spores which were caught in traps in the Moon, Muskoka, and Nottawasaga Rivers which flow into Georgian Bay. The majority of pollen and spores caught in these traps were washed into the rivers by surface water runoff and so reflect the vegetation of the watershed in a regional sense. In a 12.9 metre long sediment core from northeastern Georgian Bay the relative percentage and absolute pollen concentrations allow correlation of Georgian Bay Lake phases with climatic and forest history. Four distinct pollen zones are distinguished: zone GB IV which is the oldest, reflects the succession from open spruce woodland to boreal forest; zone GB III represents a period of pine-mixed hardwoods forests from about 10,000 to 7,500 years ago. A pine-maplehemlock association dominated in zone GB II, although during the culmination of postglacial warming about 4,000 to 5,000 years ago the Georgian Bay forests had a more deciduous character. Zone GB I clearly shows European man's disturbance of the forest by logging activities.

An investigation of geological and geochemical characteristics of late-Quaternay sediments in the Georgian Bay Region, Southern Ontario

Core samples of postglacial sediments and sediment surface samples from Shepherd Lake on the Bruce Peninsula, Harts Lake on the Canadian Shield, and two cores from Georgian Bay (core P-l in the western deep part and core P-7 in the eastern shallow part) have been analyzed for pH, grain size distribution, water content, bulk density, loss on ignition at 4500C and 11000 C, major oxides (Si02 ,A1203,!FeO,MgO,CaO, Na20,K20,Ti02 ,MnO and P205) and trace elements (Ba,Zr,Sr,y,S, Zn,Cu,Ni,Ce and Rb). The sediment in Georgian Bay are generally fine grained (fine silt to very fine silty clay) and the grain size decreases from the Canadian Shield (core p-7) towards the Bruce Peninsula (core P-l) along the assumed direction of sediment transport. This trend coincides with a decrease in sorting coefficient and an increase in roundness. Other physical characteristics, such as water content, bulk density and loss on ignition are positively correlated with the composition of sediments and their compaction, as well as with the energy of the depositional environment. Analyses of sediment surface samples from Shepherd Lake and Harts Lake indicate the influence of bedrock and surficial deposits in the watershed on pH condition that is also influenced by the organic matter content and probably I ! I man's activities. Organic matter content increases significantly in the surface sediment in these small lakes as a result of either natural eutrophication or anthropogenic organic loading. The extremely high organic matter content in Shepherd Lake sediment indicates rapid natural eutrophication in this closed basin and high biological productivity during postglacial time, probably due to high nutrient levels and shallow depth. The chemical composition of the Canadian Shield bedrock is positively correlated with the chemical characteristics of predominantly inorganic lake sediments that were derived from the Shield rocks by glacial abrasion and by postglacial weathering and erosion of both bedrock and surficial deposits. High correlation coefficients were found between organic matter in lake sediments and major oxides (Si02,AI203,.~FeO, MgO,CaO,K20 and MnO) , as well as some trace elements (Ba,Y, S,Zn,Cu,Ni and Rb). The chemical composition of sediments in Harts Lake and core P-7 in Georgian Bay on the Canadian Shield differs from the chemistry of sediments in Shepherd Lake and core P-l in Georgian Bay on the Bruce Peninsula. The difference between cores P-l and P-7 is indicated by values of Si02 , AI203 ,:LFeo,Mgo,CaO,Ba,Zr,Sr,y and S, and also by the organic matter content. This study indicates that the processes of sediment transport, depositional environment, weathering of the rocks and surficial deposits in the watershed, as well as chemical composition of source rocks all affect the chemical characteristics of lake sediments. The stratigraphic changes and variations in lake sediment chemistry with regard to major oxides, trace elements, and organic matter content are probably related to the history of glacial and postglacial lake stages of the Georgian Bay Region and, therefore, the geochemical data can make a useful contribution to a better understanding of the Late-Quaternary history of the Great Lakes.

Antidiabetic activity of Vaccinium vitis-idaea, a medicinal plant from the traditional pharmacopeia of the James Bay Cree

L’incidence du diabète chez les premières nations du Canada est plus de trois fois celle du reste du pays, dû, en partie, aux traitements culturellement inappropriés. Notre projet vise à traiter le diabète chez ces populations à partir de leur pharmacopée de médicine traditionnelle afin d’améliorer l’acceptation des traitements. En utilisant une approche ethnobotanique, notre équipe a identifié 17 plantes médicinales utilisées pour traiter des symptômes du diabète par les Cris d'Eeyou Istchee (Baie James, Québec). Parmi eux, l'extrait éthanolique de baies de Vaccinium vitis-idaea a montré un effet stimulateur sur le transport du glucose dans les cellules musculaires squelettiques et les adipocytes en culture. Le but de cette thèse était d’élucider les mécanismes par lesquels cet extrait exerce ses effets anti-hyperglycémiants, d’identifier ses principes actifs et de confirmer in vivo, son efficacité. Les résultats démontrent que V.vitis a augmenté le transport du glucose dans les cellules musculaires en cultures, C2C12 et L6 et a stimulé la translocation des transporteurs GLUT4 dans les cellules L6. L'extrait a également inhibé la respiration dans les mitochondries isolées du foie du rat. Cet effet est semblable à celui de la metformine et en lien avec la production du stress métabolique et l'activation de l'AMPK. De plus, la voie de signalisation de l’insuline ne semble pas être impliquée dans le mécanisme d’action de V. vitis. Le fractionnement guidé par la stimulation du transport du glucose a mené à l'isolation des principes actifs; la quercétine, la quercétine-3-O-galactoside, et la quercétine-3-O-glucoside. Comparable à l'extrait brut, ses composés ont stimulé la voie AMPK. Cependant, la quércetine était la seule à inhiber la respiration mitochondriale. Pour valider l'effet de V.vitis in vivo, l'extrait (1% dans l'eau de boisson) a été administré aux souris KKAy pendant 10 jours. La glycémie et le poids corporel ont été significativement réduits par V.vitis. Ces effets ont été associés à une diminution de la prise alimentaire, ce qui suggère que V.vitis diminue l'appétit. L'étude pair-fed a confirmé que les effets de V.vitis sont, majoritairement, dû à la réduction de l’appétit. De plus, V.vitis a augmenté la teneur en GLUT4 dans le muscle squelettique, a stimulé la iv phosphorylation de l'ACC et a augmenté les niveaux de PPAR-α dans le foie des souris KKAy. Ces effets se voient être additifs à l’effet anorexigène de V. vitis. Au cours du fractionnement bioguidé de l’extrait, l’ester méthylique de l'acide caféique (CAME), un produit formé lors de la procédure du fractionnement, a démontré un effet stimulateur puissant sur le transport du glucose dans les celules C2C12 et donc un potentiel anti-diabétique. Pour identifier d'autres acides caféique active (AC) et pour élucider leurs relations structure-activité et structure-toxicité, vingt dérivés AC ont été testés. Outre CAME, quatre composés ont stimulé le transport du glucose et ont activé l'AMPK suite au stress métabolique résultant d'un découplage de la phosphorylation oxydative mitochondriale. L’activité nécessite une fonction d’AC intacte dépourvu de groupements fortement ionisés et ceci était bien corrélée avec la lipophilicite et la toxicité. Les résultats de cette thèse soutiennent le potentiel thérapeutique de V. vitis, ses composés actifs ainsi que de la famille de l’AC et pour la prévention et le traitement du diabète.
