Objetivou-se analisar as representações de adolescentes e jovens em Belém sobre o ECA. A dissertação procurou se orientar a partir dos fundamentos do método Materialismo Histórico e Dialético, particularmente a referência de Henri Lefebvre acerca da representação social. A abordagem metodológica se expressou por meio de levantamento e análise documental como o ECA, decretos e leis, relatório da I Conferência Nacional para a Política de Juventude e consulta aos sites governamentais. Foram realizadas entrevistas com treze adolescentes e jovens, na faixa etária de 16 a 28 anos, de ambos os sexos. Porém, somente oito entrevistados participaram na discussão empírica. O critério utilizado na definição da amostra priorizou a vinculação dos informantes de três segmentos: das medidas socioeducativas, Programa ProJovem/adolescente e jovens militantes de uma entidade política. Verificou-se que os adolescentes que têm sido alvo de ações das políticas sociais propostas pelo ECA, como as medidas socioeducativas e o ProJovem, não conseguem perceber as ações como materialização de direito proporcionado para os mesmos. Eles também informaram ter pouco conhecimento sobre o que Estatuto representa de positivo, mas apresentam a consciência de que predomina uma representação negativa sobre o ECA. Já os jovens, demonstraram entendimento mais conscientes e/ou politizados acerca do ECA e das políticas para juventude, destacando ganhos e limites das mesmas. Para estes, a Lei não atende as necessidades reais de Crianças e de Adolescentes, principalmente, porque a atuação dos operadores da mesma linha é limitada. Conclui-se que muitos outros trabalhos têm discutido esta temática, sem desconsiderar a importância do Estatuto, mas destaca-se que muito ainda há de ser feito para que Lei possa melhor ser reconhecida pelos que dele necessitam.

Workplace accidents involving machines are relevant for their magnitude and their impacts on worker health. Despite consolidated critical statements, explanation centered on errors of operators remains predominant with industry professionals, hampering preventive measures and the improvement of production-system reliability. Several initiatives were adopted by enforcement agencies in partnership with universities to stimulate production and diffusion of analysis methodologies with a systemic approach. Starting from one accident case that occurred with a worker who operated a brake-clutch type mechanical press, the article explores cognitive aspects and the existence of traps in the operation of this machine. It deals with a large-sized press that, despite being endowed with a light curtain in areas of access to the pressing zone, did not meet legal requirements. The safety devices gave rise to an illusion of safety, permitting activation of the machine when a worker was still found within the operational zone. Preventive interventions must stimulate the tailoring of systems to the characteristics of workers, minimizing the creation of traps and encouraging safety policies and practices that replace judgments of behaviors that participate in accidents by analyses of reasons that lead workers to act in that manner.

The survey approachs the issue of health and the problem of its effective protection in a context of deprivation of liberty and coercion, which is the prison. The theoretical reflection born from the reform of the Legislative Decree 230/99 which marked the transition from an employee by the Prison Health within prison a fully integrated in the National Health Service. The comparison between an institution of health promotion and institution of punishment which may operate on the same subject held produces multiple attrits, making their relationship problematic. The work shows the daily difficulties in the management of prison health within the institution, physician-patient between different health care roles, and between the latter and prison workers. The coexistence, in fact, is not always harmonious though quite often it is common sense and the willingness of operators to reduce barriers: overcrowding, limited resources and insufficient staff make the application of the rule and therefore the right to goal a difficult to be pursued. It is designed for a scheme of semi-structured interview essay is divided into 3 sections covering: "staff and its functions", "health reform" and "health of the prisoner"; questions were directed to doctors, nurses and psychologists engaged inside the prison of Rimini with the specific aim of examining the ambivalent relationship between the demand for health care in prisons and the need for security and a clear - albeit partial - point of view. We tried to reconstruct the situation of prison health care through the perception of prison operators, capturing the problematic issues that deal on both issues is instrumental to the experience of persons detained by analyzing, in terms of operators , what happens inside of a prison institution in everyday health care.

We propose giving the mathematical concept of the pseudospectrum a central role in quantum mechanics with non-Hermitian operators. We relate pseudospectral properties to quasi-Hermiticity, similarity to self-adjoint operators, and basis properties of eigenfunctions. The abstract results are illustrated by unexpected wild properties of operators familiar from PT -symmetric quantum mechanics.

We calculate the anomalous dimensions of operators with large global charge J in certain strongly coupled conformal field theories in three dimensions, such as the O(2) model and the supersymmetric fixed point with a single chiral superfield and a W = Φ3 superpotential. Working in a 1/J expansion, we find that the large-J sector of both examples is controlled by a conformally invariant effective Lagrangian for a Goldstone boson of the global symmetry. For both these theories, we find that the lowest state with charge J is always a scalar operator whose dimension ΔJ satisfies the sum rule J2ΔJ−(J22+J4+316)ΔJ−1−(J22+J4+316)ΔJ+1=0.04067 up to corrections that vanish at large J . The spectrum of low-lying excited states is also calculable explcitly: for example, the second-lowest primary operator has spin two and dimension ΔJ+3√. In the supersymmetric case, the dimensions of all half-integer-spin operators lie above the dimensions of the integer-spin operators by a gap of order J+12. The propagation speeds of the Goldstone waves and heavy fermions are 12√ and ±12 times the speed of light, respectively. These values, including the negative one, are necessary for the consistent realization of the superconformal symmetry at large J.

En el marco de una investigación cualitativa se entrevistó a personal de bodegas de Luján y Maipú (Mendoza, Argentina) para conocer su opinión sobre la contaminación ambiental producida por dichos establecimientos. Se estudiaron cuatro dimensiones de la contaminación: ruidos, olores, residuos sólidos y residuos líquidos. Por muestreo aleatorio se seleccionaron 18 bodegas. En cada una se entrevistó un empleado de nivel gerencial y a un operario de planta utilizando un formulario semiestructurado con preguntas abiertas. La tarea de reducción de la información cualitativa consistió en una categorización y agrupamiento de respuestas. Mediante inducción analítica se generalizó para el área de estudio. Se concluyó que la contaminación ambiental en el lugar de trabajo de las bodegas es percibida por su personal como de mediana magnitud. Con respecto a los residuos líquidos, se consideran de bajo impacto ambiental externo . No se perciben impactos externos causados por las otras dimensiones. El grado de conciencia empresarial es muy variable. En algunas empresas existe conducta favorable al cuidado del medio ambiente, pero esto no es generalizable a todas las bodegas. Hay descuido por parte de los operarios en el uso de protectores para ruidos y olores.

Nowadays, computer simulators are becoming basic tools for education and training in many engineering fields. In the nuclear industry, the role of simulation for training of operators of nuclear power plants is also recognized of the utmost relevance. As an example, the International Atomic Energy Agency sponsors the development of nuclear reactor simulators for education, and arranges the supply of such simulation programs. Aware of this, in 2008 Gas Natural Fenosa, a Spanish gas and electric utility that owns and operate nuclear power plants and promotes university education in the nuclear technology field, provided the Department of Nuclear Engineering of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid with the Interactive Graphic Simulator (IGS) of “José Cabrera” (Zorita) nuclear power plant, an industrial facility whose commercial operation ceased definitively in April 2006. It is a state-of-the-art full-scope real-time simulator that was used for training and qualification of the operators of the plant control room, as well as to understand and analyses the plant dynamics, and to develop, qualify and validate its emergency operating procedures.

Identification and tracking of objects in specific environments such as harbors or security areas is a matter of great importance nowadays. With this purpose, numerous systems based on different technologies have been developed, resulting in a great amount of gathered data displayed through a variety of interfaces. Such amount of information has to be evaluated by human operators in order to take the correct decisions, sometimes under highly critical situations demanding both speed and accuracy. In order to face this problem we describe IDT-3D, a platform for identification and tracking of vessels in a harbour environment able to represent fused information in real time using a Virtual Reality application. The effectiveness of using IDT-3D as an integrated surveillance system is currently under evaluation. Preliminary results point to a significant decrease in the times of reaction and decision making of operators facing up a critical situation. Although the current application focus of IDT-3D is quite specific, the results of this research could be extended to the identification and tracking of targets in other controlled environments of interest as coastlines, borders or even urban areas.

Esta Tesis aborda el diseño e implementación de aplicaciones en el campo de procesado de señal, utilizando como plataforma los dispositivos reconfigurables FPGA. Esta plataforma muestra una alta capacidad de lógica, e incorpora elementos orientados al procesado de señal, que unido a su relativamente bajo coste, la hacen ideal para el desarrollo de aplicaciones de procesado de señal cuando se requiere realizar un procesado intensivo y se buscan unas altas prestaciones. Sin embargo, el coste asociado al desarrollo en estas plataformas es elevado. Mientras que el aumento en la capacidad lógica de los dispositivos FPGA permite el desarrollo de sistemas completos, los requisitos de altas prestaciones obligan a que en muchas ocasiones se deban optimizar operadores a muy bajo nivel. Además de las restricciones temporales que imponen este tipo de aplicaciones, también tienen asociadas restricciones de área asociadas al dispositivo, lo que obliga a evaluar y verificar entre diferentes alternativas de implementación. El ciclo de diseño e implementación para estas aplicaciones se puede prolongar tanto, que es normal que aparezcan nuevos modelos de FPGA, con mayor capacidad y mayor velocidad, antes de completar el sistema, y que hagan a las restricciones utilizadas para el diseño del sistema inútiles. Para mejorar la productividad en el desarrollo de estas aplicaciones, y con ello acortar su ciclo de diseño, se pueden encontrar diferentes métodos. Esta Tesis se centra en la reutilización de componentes hardware previamente diseñados y verificados. Aunque los lenguajes HDL convencionales permiten reutilizar componentes ya definidos, se pueden realizar mejoras en la especificación que simplifiquen el proceso de incorporar componentes a nuevos diseños. Así, una primera parte de la Tesis se orientará a la especificación de diseños basada en componentes predefinidos. Esta especificación no sólo busca mejorar y simplificar el proceso de añadir componentes a una descripción, sino que también busca mejorar la calidad del diseño especificado, ofreciendo una mayor posibilidad de configuración e incluso la posibilidad de informar de características de la propia descripción. Reutilizar una componente ya descrito depende en gran medida de la información que se ofrezca para su integración en un sistema. En este sentido los HDLs convencionales únicamente proporcionan junto con la descripción del componente la interfaz de entrada/ salida y un conjunto de parámetros para su configuración, mientras que el resto de información requerida normalmente se acompaña mediante documentación externa. En la segunda parte de la Tesis se propondrán un conjunto de encapsulados cuya finalidad es incorporar junto con la propia descripción del componente, información que puede resultar útil para su integración en otros diseños. Incluyendo información de la implementación, ayuda a la configuración del componente, e incluso información de cómo configurar y conectar al componente para realizar una función. Finalmente se elegirá una aplicación clásica en el campo de procesado de señal, la transformada rápida de Fourier (FFT), y se utilizará como ejemplo de uso y aplicación, tanto de las posibilidades de especificación como de los encapsulados descritos. El objetivo del diseño realizado no sólo mostrará ejemplos de la especificación propuesta, sino que también se buscará obtener una implementación de calidad comparable con resultados de la literatura. Para ello, el diseño realizado se orientará a su implementación en FPGA, aprovechando tanto los elementos lógicos generalistas como elementos específicos de bajo nivel disponibles en estos dispositivos. Finalmente, la especificación de la FFT obtenida se utilizará para mostrar cómo incorporar en su interfaz información que ayude para su selección y configuración desde fases tempranas del ciclo de diseño. Abstract This PhD. thesis addresses the design and implementation of signal processing applications using reconfigurable FPGA platforms. This kind of platform exhibits high logic capability, incorporates dedicated signal processing elements and provides a low cost solution, which makes it ideal for the development of signal processing applications, where intensive data processing is required in order to obtain high performance. However, the cost associated to the hardware development on these platforms is high. While the increase in logic capacity of FPGA devices allows the development of complete systems, high-performance constraints require the optimization of operators at very low level. In addition to time constraints imposed by these applications, Area constraints are also applied related to the particular device, which force to evaluate and verify a design among different implementation alternatives. The design and implementation cycle for these applications can be tedious and long, being therefore normal that new FPGA models with a greater capacity and higher speed appear before completing the system implementation. Thus, the original constraints which guided the design of the system become useless. Different methods can be used to improve the productivity when developing these applications, and consequently shorten their design cycle. This PhD. Thesis focuses on the reuse of hardware components previously designed and verified. Although conventional HDLs allow the reuse of components already defined, their specification can be improved in order to simplify the process of incorporating new design components. Thus, a first part of the PhD. Thesis will focus on the specification of designs based on predefined components. This specification improves and simplifies the process of adding components to a description, but it also seeks to improve the quality of the design specified with better configuration options and even offering to report on features of the description. Hardware reuse of a component for its integration into a system largely depends on the information it offers. In this sense the conventional HDLs only provide together with the component description, the input/output interface and a set of parameters for its configuration, while other information is usually provided by external documentation. In the second part of the Thesis we will propose a formal way of encapsulation which aims to incorporate with the component description information that can be useful for its integration into other designs. This information will include features of the own implementation, but it will also support component configuration, and even information on how to configure and connect the component to carry out a function. Finally, the fast Fourier transform (FFT) will be chosen as a well-known signal processing application. It will be used as case study to illustrate the possibilities of proposed specification and encapsulation formalisms. The objective of the FFT design is not only to show practical examples of the proposed specification, but also to obtain an implementation of a quality comparable to scientific literature results. The design will focus its implementation on FPGA platforms, using general logic elements as base of the implementation, but also taking advantage of low-level specific elements available on these devices. Last, the specification of the obtained FFT will be used to show how to incorporate in its interface information to assist in the selection and configuration process early in the design cycle.

This paper proposes a highly automated mechanism to build an undo facility into a new or existing system easily. Our proposal is based on the observation that for a large set of operators it is not necessary to store in-memory object states or executed system commands to undo an action; the storage of input data is instead enough. This strategy simplifies greatly the design of the undo process and encapsulates most of the functionalities required in a framework structure similar to the many object-oriented programming frameworks.
