O papel da educa����o a dist��ncia como recurso de nivelamento em cursos de pós-graduação: um prot��tipo para a EAESP

Este projeto se prop��e a estudar e avaliar em que medida se aplica, a um curso de pós-graduação (no caso, o CEAG Reformulado), um tipo espec��fico de curso de Educa����o a Dist��ncia - EAD: o de autodesenvolvimento, ou seja, aquele em que o aluno n��o conta com nenhum recurso de contato direto com o professor ou tutor do curso, sendo que seu processo de aprendizado est�� totalmente ���encapsulado��� num programa de computador, acessado via Internet, sem necessidade de forma����o de turmas ou defini����o de cronologia: cada aluno segue seu pr��prio ritmo, iniciando, cursando e concluindo conforme sua disponibilidade. No caso das chamadas disciplinas instrumentais do CEAG Reformulado, a carga, 32 horas-aula, j�� n��o �� t��o pequena, assim como o conte��do varia de bem estruturado (exemplo: Matem��tica Financeira) at�� semi-estruturado (exemplo: Habilidades Computacionais). Some-se a isto a necessidade de se desenvolverem cursos que possam ser feitos sem interven����o direta do professor, e chega-se a um desafio n��o desprez��vel. Em s��ntese, o foco deste projeto de pesquisa estar�� na identifica����o e na sistematiza����o dos principais requisitos e fatores cr��ticos a serem observados no desenvolvimento de cursos que possam ser oferecidos 100% online, na modalidade autodesenvolvimento, e voltados ao p��blico de pós-graduação do CEAG.

Avalia����o da efici��ncia dos programas de pós-graduação acad��micos em administra����o, contabilidade e turismo

The Triennial Evaluation of Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) is made according to several indicators, divided into several issues and items, and their weights. In these it is evident the importance of scientific periodicals. This study aims to evaluate the relative efficiency of post-graduate students in Business Administration, Accounting and tourism evaluated by CAPES in Brazil. The methodology used the data envelopment analysis - DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis). The data were obtained from the site and organized by the CAPES Qualis score. The analysis was performed by the DEA variable returns to scale, product-oriented (BCC-O), with data from the three-year periods 2004-2006 and 2007-2009. Among the main results are the average increase significantly the relative efficiency of the programs in the period 2007-2009 compared to 2004-2006 period, the highest average efficiency of programs linked to public institutions in relation to private, doctoral programs with the present average efficiency sharply higher than those only with masters, and senior programs in general were more efficient. There is also moderate and significant correlation between the efficiency scores and concepts CAPES. The Malmquist index analysis showed that more than 85% of programs had increased productivity. It is noteworthy that the main effect that influences the increase of the Malmquist index is the displacement of the border (Frontier-shift)

Estudo comparativo de p��s para aerogeradores de grande porte fabricadas em materiais comp��sitos refor��adas com fibra de carbono ou fibra de vidro

The research and development of wind turbine blades are essential to keep pace with worldwide growth in the renewable energy sector. Although currently blades are typically produced using glass fiber reinforced composite materials, the tendency for larger size blades, particularly for offshore applications, has increased the interest on carbon fiber reinforced composites because of the potential for increased stiffness and weight reduction. In this study a model of blade designed for large generators (5 MW) was studied on a small scale. A numerical simulation was performed to determine the aerodynamic loading using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. Two blades were then designed and manufactured using epoxy matrix composites: one reinforced with glass fibers and the other with carbon fibers. For the structural calculations, maximum stress failure criterion was adopted. The blades were manufactured by Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM), typical for this type of component. A weight comparison of the two blades was performed and the weight of the carbon fiber blade was approximately 45% of the weight of the fiberglass reinforced blade. Static bending tests were carried out on the blades for various percentages of the design load and deflections measurements were compared with the values obtained from finite element simulations. A good agreement was observed between the measured and calculated deflections. In summary, the results of this study confirm that the low density combined with high mechanical properties of carbon fibers are particularly attractive for the production of large size wind turbine blades

O percurso formativo do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educa����o da UFRN: a trajet��ria dos egressos mestres e doutores no per��odo 1981 a 2005

La Post-Graduaci��n brasilera ha desarrollado, a lo largo de los a��os, un papel central en la formaci��n de cuadros acad��micos de alto nivel, para el desarrollo nacional. En el contexto de la UFRN, el Programa de Post-Graduaci��n en Educaci��n, creado inicialmente en 1977 para formar maestres en Educaci��n, implementando el doctorado en esa ��rea, despu��s de diez y siete a��os, es pionero. En esa trayectoria, avanza y se destaca en el Estado y en las regiones Norte y Nordeste, como uno de los programas con una fuerte lideranza en la formaci��n de profesores investigadores y de otros profesionales de la educaci��n. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo central, tornar p��blico y revelar el alcance del PPGEd como importante centro de formaci��n de investigadores en educaci��n. Para esa finalidad fue definido un recorte te��rico-metodol��gico apoyados en cuestiones posibles de se identificar, tal como: ��Cu��l es el impacto de ese proyecto de formaci��n de maestreados y doctores en educaci��n en el periodo de 1981 a 2005?. ��Cu��l es la trayectoria de los egresados de ese proyecto de formaci��n?. �� D��nde actuaban en el momento de ingreso al programa?, y ��a d��nde pasaron a actuar profesionalmente con el t��tulo de la postgraduaci��n?. ��Cu��l es contribuci��n de ese proyecto de Postgraduaci��n en la formaci��n de cuadros para la UFRN y para las regiones del pa��s?.La investigaci��n y la colecta de datos fueron realizadas en el mismo Programa de Postgraduaci��n por medio de consultas a varios documentos, como: proyecto curricular, del PPGED, resoluciones, pareceres ( del Programa, de la UFRN, de la CAPES), informes DATA CAPES, anuarios de congresos ( ANPED y ANPED Regional ), fichas individuales de los egresos, adem��s de entrevistas con estudiantes, profesores, e ex coordinadores del PPGEd. El referencial te��rico se apoy�� en trabajos de autores aue han ganado una expresi��n en esa tem��tica, como Gatti, Cury, F��vero, Madeira, Marcondes, Horta, sab��an, entre otros. Despu��s de trazar la trayectoria de los egresos, maestres y dotores, el estudio se propone, con sus desdoblamientos y continuidad, la elaboraci��n de un Sistema de Control Acad��mico de los Egresos ( SCAE ), apoyado en indicadores para dar visibilidad y relevancia social y acad��mica a la formaci��n de Maestres y Doctores por el PPGEd de la UFRN

Bolton freeware: aplicativo de avalia����o de discrep��ncia de massa dent��ria desenvolvido pelo programa de pós-graduação em odontologia/UFRN

The calculation of tooth mass discrepancy, essential for good planning and a proper orthodontic finishing, when performed manually, besides being laborious, requires considerable time consumption. The aim of this study was to develop and test Bolton Freeware, a software for analysis of the tooth mass discrepancy of Bolton, aiming to minimize the consumption of time in a less onerous way. The digital analysis of the software was done by means of two-dimensional scanning of plaster study models and compared to manual evaluation (gold standard), using 75 pairs of stone plaster study models divided into two groups according to the magnitude of the Curve of Spee (group I from 0 to 2 mm, group II greater than 2 to 3mm). All the models had permanent dentition and were in perfect condition. The manual evaluation was performed with a digital caliper and a calculator, and the time required to perform the analysis for both methods was recorded and compared. In addition, the software was evaluated by orthodontists regarding its use, by means of questionnaires developed specifically for this purpose. Calibration was performed prior to manual analysis, and excellent levels of inter-rater agreement were achieved, with ICC > 0.75 and r > 0.9 for total and anterior proportion. It was observed in the evaluation of error of the digital method that some teeth showed a significant systematic error, being the highest measured at 0.08 mm. The analysis of total tooth mass discrepancy performed by Bolton Freeware, for those cases in which the curve of Spee is mild and moderate, differ from manual analysis, on average, 0.09 mm and 0.07 mm respectively, for each tooth evaluated, with r> 0, 8 for total and anterior proportion. According to the specificity and sensitivity test, Bolton Freeware has an improved ability to detect true negatives, i.e. the presence of discrepancy. The Bolton analysis digitally performed was faster, with an average difference of time consumed to perform the analysis of Bolton between the two methods of approximately 6 minutes. Most experts interviewed (93%) approved the usability of the software

O Turismo como um tema de pesquisa: um di��logo epistemol��gico a partir das produ����es dos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, no per��odo de 2007 a 2011

The study consists in an analysis of researches with tourism issues, in Master s and Doctoral level, investigating their epistemological trends, regarding the type of study that is being produced and the methods used. It is characterized as exploratory, documental and bibliographical, having undertaken a cross-sectional study which covers the period from 2007 to 2011. It analyzes the context of academically production in tourism, the nature of these researches, the methodological aspects adopted in these theses and dissertations, the philosophical inclinations and the coherence and contribution of the same. This research uses, the Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the secretariats of the Academic Centers of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) as means to collect data. It employs the technique of sampling by judgment and undertakes the research in various Academic Centers in UFRN, using the method of content analysis. It shows that, from the 643 studies analyzed, 43 of them have themes related to tourism, which characterized this study sample. This study realizes that PPGA is the largest producer of researches on tourism issues, ahead of PPGTur, which ranks the third position, in this aspect. Also realizes that all surveys analyzed are crosssectional and the theme further investigated, with 21% of the sample, is related to the marketing aspects of tourism, with the theme Directors of Hotels and Restaurants (DHR) . This research demonstrates that all sample surveys make use of interviews, and these are, mostly, structured. Also realizes that most of these studies, with 21% of the sample, employ the method of content analysis. The references in Portuguese are surveyed about five times more than the ones in other languages. It estimates that more than half of the sample is characterized as positivist, associated with aspects of functionalism. A minority of 21% of these researches seeks to identify and recommend solutions to the tourism issues, or even represent part of them. This research concludes that the studies in tourism are mostly unifocal, being driven by issues related to the touristic trade. PPGTur produces a number still unrepresentative of studies. The theses and dissertations of the sample are limited and/or unable to analyze the changes of the phenomenon caused by the time. The studies from the sample present criteria and make use of other methods and techniques to associate with the interviews and content analysis to obtain more solid and reliable data and results. They use a low number of references in languages other than Portuguese. Most of these studies, characterized as positivist-functionalist, investigate the functioning, planning, coordination and expectations in organizations, leaving aside other issues, also relevant for tourism. The number of studies aimed at identifying solutions to the problems of tourism, or that even represents part of them, is not expressive

��tica na pesquisa em turismo: percep����es de discentes de programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu em turismo UFRN, UCS e UNIVALI

This study analyzed the perception of ethics on the part of students of Post-graduation in Tourism, to develop their academic research. It is characterized as exploratory-descriptive, being considered quantitative with some elements analyzed qualitatively. Data were collected through an electronic questionnaire, originated in google docs and sent via e-mail to 54 students in three graduate programs in Tourism: The Tourism Master of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), the Master in Tourism and Hospitality of the University of Vale do Itajai (UNIVALI) and Master of Tourism at the University of Caxias do Sul (UCS), resulting in 22 responses. The study presents a profile of the dissertation research of post-graduate students, their perception about research ethics, as well as the difficulties encountered in the research process. Notes that research of dissertation are geared mostly for the historical and cultural aspects of tourism and the choice of topics for the essays came in first place, due to the influence of the guiding lines of research and, secondly, due to social relevance. The methods used in post-graduate research are descriptive, the literature and exploratory. It also notes that most students graduate in tourism (81%) attaches great importance to ethics in carrying out their dissertation research, students claim that ethics brings credibility and seriousness to research. Furthermore, it was realized that they have no knowledge about the practice of misconduct by researchers in the field of Tourism. Demonstrate that the major ethical challenge encountered by students is in relationship with the research subject, what happens during data collection. It also notes that none of the respondents sent any project to be evaluated by an Ethics Committee (CEP), moreover, most do not know the resolution 196/96, which has the main guidelines on research ethics at national level. Concludes that the students post-graduate in tourism have little knowledge about the standards and guidelines on research ethics. They demonstrate ignore the benefits of research ethics in regarding the protection and preservation of the participant, as well as the benefits it generates for society

Meio ambiente e enfermagem: suas interfaces e inser����o no ensino de gradua����o

A degrada����o ambiental vem modificando nosso cen��rio de forma acelerada e interferindo negativamente no processo sa��de-doen��a de toda a comunidade. No entanto, o meio ambiente vem sendo concebido como um simples cen��rio, algo externo ao ser humano, n��o onde estamos inseridos e no qual acontecem suas intera����es e inter-rela����es. A complexidade dos problemas ambientais clama pela ado����o de medidas que superem pr��ticas assistencialistas, levando �� ado����o de pr��ticas transdisciplinares que avancem na promo����o da sa��de. Neste artigo procura-se discutir, nesta perspectiva, a necessidade de inser����o nos cursos de gradua����o em sa��de a tem��tica sa��de e meio ambiente, adotando como exemplo um curso de enfermagem do interior paulista que inseriu uma disciplina relacionada ao tema. Analisa tamb��m o papel do enfermeiro na rela����o com o meio ambiente segundo a representa����o social dos alunos, trabalhada a partir do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Nota-se que �� fundamental discutir essa tem��tica ambiental entre os profissionais da sa��de, a fim de que eles se empoderem desse conhecimento e consigam identificar problemas relacionados �� quest��o ambiental, propondo a����es resolutivas e preventivas, juntamente com a comunidade, procurando amenizar os riscos ambientais a que todos est��o expostos. Refor��a-se a profundidade do papel dos profissionais de sa��de diante dos problemas ambientais, buscando a sa��de em uma perspectiva ampliada de promo����o da sa��de.
