Práticas de gestão da melhoria contínua e aprendizado e suas contribuições para a capacidade de inovação na indústria de construção naval do Brasil

After years of stagnation, the naval construction industry in Brazil has been experiencing a period of recovery caused by investments in the oil and gas sector and the implementation of governmental programs that aimed to regenerate it. However, efforts in learning and innovations are needed in order to reinsert the country in this activity and achieve international levels of competitiveness. Based on literature about learning processes and continuous improvement practices and their impact in the innovative and productive processes, this paper aims to identify the main tendencies, mechanisms and procedures to improve the construction and management processes in the Brazilian naval construction industry. The methodology used for the data analysis classifies obtained information from magazines and annals of congresses of the sector, according to the established analysis categories (phenomena). Such categories study information related to the productive and technological processes of the industry, the main internal and external relations of the industrial park, the management of resources and processes, policies, investments, etc. The data was collected in the period 2004-2010, and more than 500 registers that show a dominance of the investment phenomenon, especially in the increase of productive capacity, were catalogued. In addition to this, there is evidence of modernization in the manufacturing plan and the equipment, diverse forms of cooperation, implementation of human resources management practices and engineering or processes and products. Hence, a process of catching up governs and is guided by modernization and increase training in this industry.

Panorama da pesquisa em Design no Brasil: a contribuição dos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Design nas pesquisas científicas e no desenvolvimento da área

With respect to design, scientific production in the area helps consolidate it as a scientific field can contribute to the development of society through the promotion of the construction of critical knowledge of researchers. Scientific conferences and journals, periodicals and books consist of some of the effective actions for the exchange of knowledge. Through these channels the results of research are disseminated, shared and put into discussion, collaborating with the learning process and cooperation among sectors. Thus, this paper reflects on the evolution of scientific research in the area and attempts to give an overview of current research of Design in Brazil and its correlation with the Graduate Program in Design.

The main objective of the study was to do a comparative analysis of the indicators used in Piracicaba, to the national indicator system and other municipal programs, and also, its application in urban and environmental planning. To achieve this goal, initially a topic selection was made based on a bibliographic analysis in order to discuss the use of management tools and municipal evaluation systems from the perspective of sustainability, showing the management tools such as laws, agreements, documents and mainly, sustainability indicators. It was then, prepared the case study carried out in Piracicaba, São Paulo municipality. With the obtained results, it was possible to provide a model which shows strengths and weaknesses of public actions and policies for the environment, such as project suggestions that could be applied aiming greater sustainability and continuous improvement of municipal environmental performance

Adaptação à distância de próteses auditivas acústicas: a teleaudiologia aplicada na melhoria da condução das Políticas Públicas no Brasil

INTRODUÇÃO: O governo brasileiro atualmente credencia cerca de 140 centros especializados para adaptações de aparelhos de amplificação sonora individual via SUS. Adaptações à distância através da internet podem permitir maior eficiência na prestação deste serviço e com maiores chances de aceitação por parte do paciente do SUS. OBJETIVOS: Descrever o caso de adaptação à distância realizado entre duas cidades, com revisão da literatura. MÉTODO: Equipamentos de informática e de tecnologia da informação, programador universal, aparelhos de amplificação sonora individual. ESTUDO DE CASO: Uma fonoaudióloga lotada num centro especializado introduziu a um centro remoto (distância de 200 km) um novo aparelho de amplificação sonora individual e seu programa de adaptação. O centro remoto assistiu a adaptação de dois pacientes em sua clínica, realizando voluntariamente a adaptação do terceiro paciente. Todo o procedimento foi realizado através da internet, contando com recursos de áudio e vídeo em todos os procedimentos. RESULTADOS: Três pacientes foram adaptados à distância. Três fonoaudiólogas receberam treinamento à distância de como adaptar aparelhos auditivos. CONCLUSÃO: Foi possível adaptar AASI à distância, além de prover treinamento e habilitar um centro remoto na adaptação de um novo aparelho de amplificação sonora individual e de seu programa de adaptação. Tal procedimento pode ser útil ao governo na condução de políticas públicas da saúde auditiva.
