Abstract:

We present a tree-ring based reconstruction of water-year (October–September) streamflow for the Manasi River in the northern Tien Shan mountains in northwestern China. We developed eight Tien Shan spruce (Picea schrenkiana Fisch. et Mey.) chronologies for this purpose, which showed a common climatic signal. The hydroclimatic forcing driving tree growth variability affected streamflow with a three- to four-year lag. The model used to estimate streamflow is based on the average of three chronologies and reflects the autoregressive structure of the streamflow time series. The model explains 51% of variance in the instrumental data and allowed us to reconstruct streamflow for the period 1629–2000. This preliminary reconstruction could serve as a basis for providing a longer context for evaluating the recent (1995–2000) increasing trends in Manasi River streamflow and enables the detection of sustained periods of drought and flood, which are particularly challenging for managing water systems. Several of the reconstructed extended dry (wet) periods of the Manasi River correspond to reconstructed periods of drought (flood) in Central Asia in general and in other Tien Shan mountain locations in particular, suggesting that the analysis of Tien Shan spruce could contribute significantly to the development of regionally explicit streamflow reconstructions.

Abstract:

Nous etudions de facon comparative deux corpus de poemes narratifs en bengali qui traitent de la facon dont les deesses manasa et candi respectivement imposent leur culte sur terre. Le manasa mangal dont l'heroine est la deesse des serpents est etudie dans six versions d' auteurs differents (xve-xviiie), et le candi mangal dans quatre. Dans une approche structurale on tente de degager des acteurs du recit, des lieux et de la trame narrative les elements des codes symboliques que le corpus utilise. Nous en cherchons les clefs dans la culture"savante" et pan-indienne, aides par les travaux de m. Biardeau et ch. Malamoud, ainsi que dans les prolongements "populaires" et locaux sans op poser ces deux niveaux. Dotes d'une structure formelle homologue, ces mangal different quant a la problematique. Le manasa, reformulant l'o pposition classique entre l'ambroisie et le poison, les oiseaux et les naga, et l'immortalite et la soumission a la mort, montre le triomphe du devot sur le yogi a la recherche des pouvoirs. Le candi presente d'abord la face royale et guerriere de la deesse dans son rapport avec le territoire constitue par le royaume dans la foret. Dans un second recit, candi se montre comme la protectrice du samsara. Nous y relevons le role important joue par les femmes et l'accent mis sur le marchand representant la precarite de "l'homme dans le monde" We study comparatively two sets of bengali narrative poems dealing wit with the way the goddesses manasa and candi respectively impose their worship on earth. The manasa mangal having as its heroin the serpent goddess is studied in 6 versions due to various authors (xv-xviiith), the candi in 4. By a structural approach we bring out from the analysis of the characters, places and narrative incidents the symbolic codes used in this corpus. We look for clues in the "great" all-india tradition, taking advantage of the works of m. Biardeau and ch. Malamoud, as also in its "popular" and local transformations, without opposing one from the other. Having an homologous formal structure, these texts deal with a different sets of problems. The manasa, formulates anew the "classical" opposition between ambrosia and poison, birds and serpents, immortality and death, shows the triumph of devotion over powers oriented yoga. The candi presents at first the royal and warlike aspect of the goddess related to a territory: the kingdom in the forest. In a second story, candi is the protectress of the samsara. We analyse the important role played by women, and the emphasis put on the merchant as the epitome of the precarious condition of the "man in the world"

Abstract:

Bibliography: pages 217-232. Yali-Manisi, a Xhosa writer, performs and writes traditional praise poetry (izibongo) and modern poems (isihobe) and can, therefore, be regarded as a bard because he also performs his poetry. One can safely place him in the interphase as he combines performance and writing. The influence of oral poems and other oral genres can be perceived in his works as some of his works are a product of performances which were recorded, transcribed and translated into English. The dissertation, among other things, examines the way in which Yali-Manisi's work has been influenced by such manipulations. In this study we examine lzibongo Zeenkosi ZamaXhosa, lmfazwe kaMianjeni, Yaphum'igqina and other individually recorded poems. His poetry is characterised by an interaction between tradition and innovation. The impact of traditional poetic canon on the poet, the way of exploiting traditional devices are the most outstanding characteristics concerning his poetry. His optimistic disposition towards the future of the South African political situation leaves one with the impression that he envisages an end to the Black-White political dichotomy. Yali-Manisi manipulates literary forms to articulate specific socio-political and cultural attitudes which are dominant among the majority of South Africans. His writings coincide with some of the major political changes in South Africa. In his recent works, he is explicit and protests against Apartheid structures especially in Transkei and Ciskei. In his earlier works he could not articulate the feelings of his people as an imbongi because of the fear of censorship and themes of protests had to be handled with extreme caution if one's manuscripts were to be published at all. He often alludes to national oppression of the majority by the minority and instigates the former to be politically conscious. In some instances (e.g. in his historical poems) he seeks to correct inaccuracies which are presented in history books. Thus showing the listener/reader another side of the coin. He displays very keen interest and deep knowledge of natural phenomena such as seasons of the year and the behaviour of animals during each period. Poems about historical figures are characterised by certain allusions which refer to realities and events in the life of the 'praised one' or his forefathers. This helps to shed light on the present situation. Although fictitious adaptations of genuine events have been done, an element of reality is still prevalent.

Abstract:

L'épopée de Manas relate les luttes menées par les Kirghiz contre leurs multiples oppresseurs. Manas est, selon la légende, le premier à avoir unifié les tribus kirghizes et leur avoir donné un territoire. Son combat sera poursuivi par son fils Semetej et son petit-fils Sejtek. En 1995, l’épopée de Manas fut mise en avant sur la scène culturelle internationale, lors des célébrations de son supposé millénaire. Par la suite, le prestige épique a plus ou moins fluctué avec les années, pour finalement disparaître de la scène politique entre 2005 et 2010.En 2009, la Chine, au nom de sa minorité kirghize, inscrit Manas à l’Unesco, provoquant un scandale au Kirghizstan. Jusqu’en 2013, date à laquelle le Kirghizstan inscrit à son tour Manas (plus précisément la trilogie épique Manas, Semetej, Sejtek) à l’Unesco – c’est un véritable retour en force de Manas qui s’opère au sein du pays.Cette époque mouvementée est également à l’origine d’une nouvelle forme de récitation, appelée ‘récitation-fleuve’, se déroulant sur plusieurs jours, de manière annuelle et organisée. Réunissant à chaque occasion la plupart des manasčı du pays (le barde spécialisé dans la récitation de Manas), elles visent, sous couvert d’une forme traditionnelle (la récitation), à rendre populaire l’épopée et à toucher un plus vaste public.Pourtant, on ne parlera pas d’idéologie, au singulier, de Manas. Une observation éclairée de ces récitations montrera que les discours sur Manas sont pluriels et témoignent de luttes d’influences ou de pensées. Le présent travail se propose d’étudier ce retour de Manas sur la scène politique et idéologique du Kirghizstan, entre 2009 et 2013, et de montrer ce qu’est une récitation de Manas aujourd’hui – dans les deux cas, ce travail apportera une vue systématique et contemporaine de notre savoir sur l’épopée de Manas The epic Manas deals with the struggles led by the Kyrgyz against their various opponents and oppressors. According to the legend, Manas is the first one who gathered the sparse Kyrgyz tribes and gave them a united land. His son Semetey and grand-son Seytek would pursue his legacy.In 1995, Manas was at the centre of an international cultural focus as the celebrations of its so-called millenary were held in Kyrgyzstan. From then on, the status of Manas went through uncertainties, and eventually disappeared from the political scene between 2005 and 2010.In 2009, China nominated the Manas epic in the UNESCO on behalf of its Kyrgyz minority creating a scandal in Kyrgyzstan. Until 2013, when Kyrgyzstan nominated on its own the "Kyrgyz Epic Trilogy" (Manas, Semetey, Seytek) in the UNESCO, Manas knew a real reinforcement in the country.During this eventful period appeared a new kind of recitation, called "lengthy-recitation", running through several days and organized annually. Those new recitations gather most of the manasčı (the bard who tells Manas) of the country and aim at popularise the epic under a traditional shape (to tell Manas).Nevertheless, we cannot speak about a single ideology of Manas – an informed observation of those recitations will reveal the plurality of speeches on the Kyrgyz epic which testifies a struggle of interests and thoughts.The present work will study the return of Manas on Kyrgyzstan political and ideological scenes, between 2009 and 2013, and to show what is a recitation of Manas nowadays. Both aspects will bring a systematic and contemporary view on our knowledge about Manas

Full text

Abstract:

Reproduction is costly and involves a number of sequential physiological processes that require different levels of energetic investment. In mammalian species gestation and lactation require the most energy and the amount of energy invested in reproduction is reflected in litter size at birth and by offspring growth through weaning. The object of this study was to describe variation in Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) pup mass at birth and during several ages of the lactation/nursing period, and to evaluate the ability of several maternal traits to explain this variation. Mass measurements were collected from 887 pups at parturition and throughout lactation in Erebus Bay, Antarctica during the 2004 through 2010 field seasons and maternal traits were taken from a long term database. Analysis demonstrated high individual variation in pup mass within a season and modest variation among seasons which suggests that pup mass may be correlated with individual animal attributes rather than annual variation in environmental conditions. Maternal age, a female's reproductive status the previous season and their interaction were found to be the most influential maternal traits. Pup body mass at parturition and during lactation showed maternal age-related variation with evidence of senescence during pre-partum investment and terminal investment during post-partum investment. A female's reproductive status in one season affected her reproductive investment during lactation in consecutive seasons but that effect was correlated with age. Younger females who pupped in consecutive seasons weaned larger pups than those females who were of the same age and did not give birth in consecutive seasons. The opposite was found to be true for older females. The variation in the affect of maternal traits on maternal investment may be due to the increased energy requirement of lactation, age specific changes in reproductive costs, and a senescent decline in physiological function.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertação - Marivete do Nascimento Silva.pdf: 947989 bytes, checksum: d2dc92f3efc1dc786763d943caa415d3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-06-30 Não Informada The Amazonic region despite being considered one of the most important regions to the worldwide ecosystem, that provides abundant natural resources of great economic value, even so it can suffer with the scarcity of qualified personnel to answer the challenges of amazonic development and of Manaus, capital and where there is the majority of the population density. Attempting to answer those challenges, the work force of each region goes molding itself as it can for the market and economy demands, by its own initiative and with the public policies stimulus of qualification and professional improvement. To know with more depth the school attendance situation of the Manaus population, as a whole, including to predict and dissert under the Active Economic Population (AEP) is what motivates this study. When the history of world education is analyzed then it is notable that countries which had devoted great importance to education and knowledge are nowadays the ones which holds better position in the economic and social scenario. Therefore, this study purposes to accomplish a careful diagnosis of Manaus work force, at the time range of 1991-2000. As for the specific plan, the work aims to identify the work force through the analysis of the productive sectors of economy; Evaluate the evolution of this work force’s school attendance and its respective economic level; Analyze the work development state, by the United Nations Human Development Report. The conceptual spot deals with the relation between population growth, education and economic development, or so, the qualification effort of the work force and its relevance on the improvement of people life pattern. As for the applied method at the study, its settles on confronting the specificity of the work force at the time range of 1990 to 2000, regarding the data of two demographic census produced by IBGE, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. So the mentioned data was soon analyzed by descriptive statistics, onto defining the inclination of the work force scholarity level and the economy sectors that has absorved more of this qualified contingent. For the social analysis, it was took for consideration the scholarity and income, because from this data crossing some conclusions can be drawed. First, it can not be assure for insufficient data that the AEP increase was favorable or not to the local economy. It is understandable, only according to few indicators, that more people are having access to elementary, high school and to university. According to the work force scholarity profile existing in Manaus between the years of 1991-2000 it can be observable that from the AEP: 4,1% did not posses any formal education, 29,2% had only a non-finished elementary school, while 20% had the complete elementary school level. By judging the statistics and in comparison to previous decades, the people quota that had gather more scholarity has increased expressively, resulting on 31,5% of the AEP with complete high school, while the finished undergraduates were limited to only 5% of the work force. A região amazônica, apesar de ser reconhecidamente uma das mais importantes regiões para o ecossistema mundial, dispõe de abundantes recursos naturais de grande valor econômico, contudo pode sofrer com a escassez de pessoas qualificadas para responder aos desafios do desenvolvimento da Amazônia, e especificamente Manaus, como a maior cidade, na qual está concentrada a maioria da sua população. Na tentativa de responder a esses desafios, a força de trabalho de cada região vai se moldando como pode às exigências do mercado e da economia, por meio de iniciativa própria e com estímulo de políticas públicas de qualificação e aperfeiçoamento profissional. Saber com mais profundidade o estado de escolaridade da população Manauense, como um todo, incluindo predizer e dissertar sobre sua população econômica ativa, é o que motiva realizar este estudo. Portanto, este estudo se propõe realizar um diagnóstico cuidadoso da força de trabalho dos Manauaras, no período de 1991-2000. No plano específico, objetiva-se identificar força de trabalho pela análise dos setores produtivos da economia; Avaliar a evolução do grau de escolaridade da força de trabalho e seu nível de renda correspondente; e Analisar o estado de desenvolvimento do trabalho, por meio do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano. O marco conceitual trata da relação entre crescimento populacional, educação e desenvolvimento econômico, ou seja, o esforço de qualificação da força de trabalho e sua importância na melhoria do padrão de vida da população. Quanto ao método aplicado no estudo, este se assenta em confrontar a especificidade da força de trabalho , considerando a massa de dados produzida por dois censos demográficos do IBGE. Os dados gerados foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva, no sentido de definir a tendência do nível de escolaridade da força de trabalho e os setores que mais tem absorvido esse contingente qualificado. Para efeito de análise social, levou-se em conta a escolaridade e a renda, pois, a partir deste cruzamento de informações se pode extrair algumas conclusões. Não se tem elemento suficiente para afirmar se o acréscimo da PEA foi favorável ou desfavorável para a economia local. Percebe-se, apenas, segundo alguns indicadores, que mais pessoas estão tendo acesso ao ensino fundamental, médio e superior. Segundo o perfil da escolaridade da força de trabalho existente em Manaus, entre os anos 1991 e 2000, observa-se que 4,1% da População Economicamente Ativa (PEA) não possuíam qualquer instrução, 29,2% gozavam apenas do ensino fundamental incompleto enquanto que 20 % dos trabalhadores possuíam o nível de escolaridade fundamental completo. A julgar pela estatística e em comparação com décadas anteriores, o contingente de pessoas que incorporaram mais escolaridade aumentou expressivamente, resultando em 31,5% da população ativa que concluíram o nível médio, enquanto que o diplomado em curso superior limitou-se a 5% da força de trabalho.

No. of bitstreams: 0 A presente dissertação tem por objetivo fazer reflexões sobre o processo de urbanização que a cidade de Manaus-AM vem passando ao longo dos anos, analisando as consideráveis mudanças que vem ocorrendo em sua parte central, refletindo a cerca das políticas públicas de turismo, compreendendo de que forma a atividade turística tem se apropriado do lugar e incutindo nele sua lógica de (re) organização, o que é bastante notório nesses últimos anos, sobretudo nos pontos históricos da cidade de Manaus. Assim, será analisado sobretudo as ações que o Estado brasileiro através das suas três esferas de poder, tem desenvolvido no espaço urbano manauara, através das políticas publicas. O edifício metodológico trabalhado foram as concepções de Milton Santos sobre a compreensão do espaço geográfico, entendido como sistema de objetos e ações, como também a concepção de formação sócio-espacial; Lobato Correia, que estuda o espaço urbano, Rita de Cássia que faz uma análise das políticas publicas de turismo em nosso país como uma forma de planejamento e intervenção urbana, dentre outros. The dissertations objective is to make reflections on the process of urbanization that the Amazon city Manaus has been facing in recent years. The analyze highlights some of the considerable changes that have occurred in the downtown area in regards to public policies on tourism seeking to define in what way tourist activities have appropriated space and embedding within it their own logic of reorganization. I argue that this tendency to appropriate has become notorious over the last few years in Manaus is historical points of interest. The analysis concentrates on the role that the Brazilian State has in developing appropriating acts in regards to the Manauss urban space via three spheres of power that influence public policies. The theoretical approach of this analysis borrows from various concepts: Milton Santos comprehension of geographical space, understood as a system of objects and actions, as well as socio-spatial conception; the ideas of Lobato Correia on urban space; and on the Rita de Cássia is analysis on tourist public policies in Brazil as an example of, and amongst others, urban planning and intervention.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the role of local government elected members to progress urban sustainability, and the views of Māori leaders’ on governance and sustainability. It is set within a wider context of local government reform and changing expectations of governance and captures a point in time in the evolution of Pākehā and Māori governance structures in Aotearoa New Zealand. The thesis contributes to the paucity of scholarship in these fields. Local government has evolved from the early provincial legislatures, to acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi and recognise the importance of sustainable development. The Local Government Act 2002 fundamentally changed the role and purpose of New Zealand local government. At the heart of both Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the LGA was the aspiration for community and Māori participation in local governance and progress towards sustainable development. The ‘three-house concept’ described in the Raukawa Trustees partnership-two cultures development model (Winiata 2005) and the Community Sector Taskforce (2006) model is reflected in the structure of this thesis. It provides for a Pākehā House, a Tikanga Māori House and a Treaty House – a conceptual space where Māori and Pākehā values and practices can come together in mutual respect. The Pākehā House of the thesis establishes a broader role for New Zealand elected members to promote urban sustainability by focusing on cross-sector collaboration and multi-level governance. While multi-level governing was found to be widespread across urban territorial authorities, an elected member focus on collaboration was notably absent. Aotearoa New Zealand’s urban local authorities had begun mainstreaming sustainable development practices. Environmental management and restoration activity was widespread. Initiatives progressing social and cultural well-being were gaining prominence. The Tikanga Māori House recognises that the LGA 2002 had failed to bring about transformation of Māori participation in local government. Where the Māori voice struggled to be heard, the Act’s discretionary provisions had tended to preserve the status quo. Two paths to the future are offered: firstly, constitutional change - a new system of local government that recognises the validity of tino rangatiratanga as an equal authority, which could be modeled on the working examples of Treaty-based governance presented in this thesis. Secondly, improvements to the current system of local government are recommended. They are: - Hui and whanaungatanga, as a path to consensus decision-making. - Iwi authorities be recognised as local authorities, to provide opportunities for urban Māori to participate in local government. - The status of iwi management plans be lifted, and they be mandatory in the way that a district plan is mandatory. - The mana whenua relationship be strengthened to increase the capacity of mana whenua to consult with tauiwi in their rohe, and exercise kaitiakitanga and manaakitanga. These improvements need to be based on an effective parallel model of Māori representation, or Māori wards and seats. The Treaty House presents a case for strengthening a partnerships approach to governance. The effective inclusion of both Pākehā and Māori communities alike is identified as a prerequisite for further progress towards urban sustainability in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Com tal propósito, são analisadas situações de troca cotidianas e também rituais, a partir das quais se tornam perceptíveis características particulares de suas relações de reciprocidade, como por exemplo, a importância de se expor os termos do que está sendo intercambiado; a preferência pela troca direta; e a vinculação entre a noção de posse e de distribuição. Assim, a investigação empreendida com respeito às relações de troca permite refletirmos sobre um contexto maior de compreensão da vida madiha e dos mal-entendidos que existem nas relações interétnicas que são estabelecidas entre esse povo indígena, os não índios (Karia) e os Kaxinawá, seus vizinhos. The present thesis discusses the way in which the indigenous people Madiha (Kulina), inhabitant of the Alto Rio Purus Indigenous Land in the Amazon Southwest (Acre/Brazil), understand and experience the exchange relationships – “manakô”. To this end, daily and ritual exchange situations are analyzed, from which particular characteristics of their reciprocal relations become apparent, such as the importance of exposing the terms of what is being exchanged; the preference for direct exchange; and the link between the notion of ownership and distribution. Thus, the research undertaken with respect to exchange relations allows us to reflect on a larger context of understanding of madiha life and the misunderstandings that exist in the interethnic relations that are established among these indigenous people, the non-Indians (Karia) and the Kaxinawá, their neighbors.

Neste trabalho é apresentada uma metodologia para a fabricação de mancais aerostáticos semi-esférico/plano, que suportam os carregamentos axiais e radiais, comuns nestas máquinas. Os mancais são fabricados em tornos e fresadoras convencionais, minimizando-se os erros dimensionais, de forma e acabamento superficial, seguidos de um processo de lapidação, com ferramentas de baixo custo. A metodologia consiste na obtenção do rotor semi-esférico com erros de esfericidade em torno de 1m e rugosidade Ra menor que 0,1m, obtendo-se a calota semi-esférica através de moldagem com resina epoxi, usando o rotor como macho. Os restritores de vazão podem ser confeccionados diretamente no corpo do mancal, durante o processo de moldagem, com diâmetros a partir de 0,1mm, ou fabricados separadamente em bujões e inseridos nos mancais. A metodologia de moldagem foi aplicada na fabricação de mancais radiais com conicidade de 1:10.000 apresentado bons resultados em termos de carga e rigidez. Os protótipos foram utilizados em aplicações práticas, apresentando bons resultados. Serão dadas informações sobre os procedimentos e os resultados obtidos.

Abstract:

This study utilized an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon the fields of agriculture, agricultural economics, nutrition, and anthropology, to identify and understand the relationships between income and other household characteristics, and nutrition in smallholder farm households in Manabi Province, Ecuador. The following main hypotheses were tested: household food consumption and preschooler nutritional status are positively associated with (1) household income; (2) women's income; (3) level of parental education; (4) seasonality of agricultural production and income; and (5) farming system diversity. Research was conducted over a 14-month period from October 1989 to December 1990 in 15 rural communities in coastal Ecuador. The research sample consisted of 108 households, including 172 preschool children. Agricultural production, income, and food consumption data were obtained formally via questionnaires administered during three distinct seasons in the agricultural cycle and informally using an ethnographic approach. Preschooler nutritional status was assessed via age, height, and weight measurements. Multivariate analysis revealed that in-kind income (food from on-farm sources) and parental education were the principal determinants of household food consumption. In-kind income was especially important to households in the lowest income quartile, contributing one-third of their total earnings. Although cash income accounted for three-fourths of total income for most households, it had an insignificant effect on nutrition, suggesting that form rather than level of income was key to household food consumption. Women's income was generally too small to achieve a statistically significant impact on household nutrition. Level of parental education was the primary determinant of long-run preschooler nutritional status, while health-related factors, not explicitly addressed in the multivariate model, were probably the best predictors of current nutritional status. Despite significant seasonality in agricultural production and income, most households maintained a constant level and quality of food consumption, implying effective coping strategies to maintain household food security. There was a negative relationship between farming system crop diversity and nutrition, suggesting that it was not how many different crops that were grown, but which crops were produced and what was done with the harvest that was crucial to household nutrition.

Abstract:

Thesis (MTech (Chemistry))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016. In Africa, herbal medicines are often used as primary treatments for a variety of ailments and diseases including HIV/AIDS and for HIV-related problems. In general, traditional medicines are not well researched scientifically in controlled studies, and are poorly regulated. Since the pharmacological effectiveness of natural products is affected by several native and foreign factors, studies on the variations of chemical composition and biological activity of these medicines are necessary. The processes of investigating plants to identify chemical substances are of great interest to natural product researchers because there is a need to discover new drugs for treating old and new diseases. These facts underscore an urgent need to develop new anti HIV and AIDS drugs with fewer or no side effects. Research into drug discovery and development using natural products is increasingly becoming better established. Marine organisms as a source of natural products delivered numerous novel compounds with multiple pharmacological properties. Natural products give endless opportunities for discovering novel compounds that can be used as drugs or backbones of drug leads. Manayi is a natural product that has been used to treat and manage people with HIV, but no scientific studies have been done to prove its efficacy on the HIV under controlled conditions. For the purposes of this study, cooked and uncooked Manayi product was evaluated for its efficacy on HIV in vitro. Manayi samples were collected in East London, Eastern Cape and sequentially extracted with hexane, chloroform, dichloromethane, butanol, methanol, and water as a series of increasingly polar solvents for its bioactive chemical constituents.

Utilizam-se como principais instrumentos de analise os documentos bibliográficos, registros fotográficos, mapas, cartões postais, pinturas, iconografias, listagens do IPHAN e documentos da Prefeitura Municipal de Manaus. Sendo assim, analisa-se o inter-relacionamento dos fatores populacionais, econômicos, socioculturais, político-institucionais e locacionais, que atuaram sobre a cidade em cada período da sua historia, procurando destacar de maneira particular, em cada um deles, as funções urbanas e de maneira geral as suas perspectivas. Para tal, dividiu-se a historia da arquitetura de Manaus em cinco períodos históricos. Uma vez que muitas das construções identificadas dos períodos estudados não possuem projetos arquitetônicos arquivados na Prefeitura Municipal de Manaus, e a Delegacia Regional do IPHAN só possui quatro bens tombados em Manaus, faz-se necessária a realização de um inventario de identificação do patrimônio local. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The present work studies the whole pocess of the urban evolution of the city Manaus, the architecture from Amazonia from the beginning of its colony till nowadays, and the characteristics of its physical structure that has contributed, or not, with the construction and preservation to the cultural resource. Its been used as a principal source of analyse the bibliographical documents, photographs, maps, postcards, paintings, iconographies, IPHAN notes and the Municipal City Hall of Manaus. This way, we analyse the inter-relationship of population , economical, sociocultural, polititional, institutional, and location facts that acted in each period of history, aiming in a particular way in wich of them, in their urban functions and perspectives. For that, the history of Manaus´ architecture was divided in five historical periods. Once that many identified constructions from these periods do not posess architectural projects classified in the Municipal City Hall of Manaus, and the Regional Section of IPHAN only posesses four of the tombled buildings in Manaus, it is necessary to make a booking of identification of local buildings. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ RESUMÉ Le travail actuel étudie le processus de l’évolution urbaine de la ville de Manaus, du début de son arrangement au présent, et des caractéristiques de sa structure physique qui ont contribué, ou pas, avec la construction et la conservation de son patrimoine culturel. Il est employé en tant qu’instrument principal d’analyse les documents bibliographiques, les registres photographiques, les cartes postales, les cartes, les peintures, l’iconographie, l’énumération de l’IPHAN et les documents de la Mairie de Manaus. Étant de ce fait, la rélation entre la population, l’économie, la culture, le politique-institutionnel et les endroits et les facteurs sont analysés, qui ont agi sur la ville dans chaque période de son histoire, ayant recherché pour détacher en particulier la manière, dans chacun d´eux, les fonctions urbaines et d’une façon généralisée ses perspectives. Pour telles raisons, l´histoire de l’architecture de Manaus fut divisée dans cinq périodes historiques. Un moment que nombreuses constructions identifiées des périodes étudiées ne possèdent pas l´architecture des projets classées dans la Mairie Municipal de Manaus, et le commissariat de police régional possèden seulement quatre marchandises renversées à Manaus se fait nécessaire l’accomplissement d’un inventaire de l’identification du patrimoine local.

Our goal is to comprehend the dynamics of the relationship between the Police and the citizens, discussing results obtained by the analysis of documents produced by the institution itself, as well as data provided by the period’s press and documents that reproduced the government’s official speeches, aiming to clarify how the different layers of the society were able to Interact in the urban environment, and how the police officer’s job was developed in the city’s routine, especially in the dealing with the population in general. We aim, therefore, to understand the elements related to the diversity of Manaus’s urban problems in the proposed period. Este trabalho tem como tema principal a discussão das relações entre crime/criminalidade urbanos e a instituição policial do Estado do Amazonas, no início do século XX. O nosso objetivo é compreender a dinâmica da relação da polícia com a população citadina, discutindo resultados obtidos através da análise de documentos produzidos dentro da própria instituição, bem como de dados fornecidos pela imprensa do período e de documentos que reproduziam o discurso oficial dos governantes, a fim de esclarecer como as diferentes camadas da sociedade interagiam no ambiente urbano, e como o trabalho do policial se desenvolvia no dia-a-dia da cidade, no trato com a população em geral. Pretende-se, portanto, compreender principalmente os elementos relativos à diversidade dos problemas urbanos da cidade de Manaus no período proposto.

Orientador: Mauro Hugo Mathias Coorientador: Willy Roger de Paula Mendonça Banca: José Elias Toamzini Banca: Everaldo de Barros Resumo: Os estudos relacionados a máquinas rotativas são muito importantes no apoio e manutenção da operação de máquinas de grande porte, tais como turbo compressores ou turbinas. Modelos analíticos e numéricos têm sido aplicados por anos, entretanto, eles nem sempre apresentam as condições reais dessas máquinas. Por isso, o uso de procedimentos experimentais para a avaliação e validação de resultados de máquinas rotativas é importante para a etapa de projeto mecânico. O uso de modelos em escala, por exemplo, turbinas hidráulicas ou turbinas a vapor, tem sido comum nesta área. Um rotor é dividido em várias partes, sendo uma delas os elementos de suporte, mais especificamente os mancais. Os mancais podem ser divididos em vários tipos, os mais utilizados são os do tipo rolamento e tipo hidrodinâmico. Devido este último ser o mais encontrado em máquinas pesadas, seu estudo é muito importante. Este trabalho objetiva apresentar o projeto de um protótipo de um mancal hidrodinâmico e sua avaliação experimental. O mancal desenvolvido consiste de uma bucha de bronze montada sobre uma casa de mancal de alumínio e sistemas de vedação para o óleo lubrificante. As geometrias das buchas e as propriedades dos fluidos foram analisadas pela medição do comportamento dinâmico de um rotor apoiados por esses mancais. Esta avaliação foi baseada na medição de uma bancada do tipo Jeffcott apoiada em um par de mancais hidrodinâmicos em condições diversas, incluindo combinações entre mancais do tipo rolamento...

Analytical and numerical models have been applied for years, however, they do not always present the real condition of these machines. Therefore, the use of experimental procedures for the evaluation and validation of rotating machine results is important for mechanical design step. The use of scale models, for example, hydraulic turbines or steam turbines, has been very common in this area. A rotor is divided into several parts, one of which is the support elements, more specifically the bearings. The bearings can be divided into several types, the most common are the ball/roller bearing and the hydrodynamic bearing. Due to the latter be the most applied in heavy machinery, his study is very important. This work aims to show the design of a prototype of a hydrodynamic bearing and its experimental evaluation. The developed bearing consists of a bronze bushing mounted on an aluminum bearing housing and sealing systems for lubricating oil. The bushing geometries and the properties of the fluids are analyzed by measuring the dynamic behavior of a rotor supported by these bearings. This evaluation was based on the measurement of a Jeffcott rotor test bench supported by hydrodynamic bearings under a variety of conditions, including combinations of rolling and hydrodynamic type bearings,variation of the internal geometry of the bronze bushing ...

A formulação do problema envolve a consideração de dois fenômenos: a cavitação e a deformação elástica. Na região em que não há cavitação, a pressão satisfaz a equação de Reynolds e esta equação torna-se não linear devido à deformação da superfície do rolamento. A este modelo está associada uma desigualdade variacional, descrita em Oden e Wu [10], que pode ser analisada utilizando a teoria de operadores pseudomotônicos. Demollstraremos a existência de solução da desigualdade variacional, a chamada solução fraca, para o caso do mancal esférico e, para o caso do mancal cilíndrico, demonstraremos apenas algumas propriedades do operador não linear presente na desigualdade em estudo. Obteremos, também, uma relação entre a solução fraca e o problema original (válida para ambos os casos). Abstract: Not informed. Mestrado Mestre em Matemática Aplicada

Este tipo de componente envolve três segmentos de mercado: o de produtores de matérias primas, o de produtores de buchas e os consumidores de mancais. A produção de buchas autolubrificantes que apresentem um bom desempenho é o objetivo de todos os fabricantes deste tipo de produto. Os principais requisitos para que isto ocorra são uma boa microestrutura (homogênea), alta resistência e precisão dimensional. Nesta dissertação uma liga de bronze para buchas autolubrificantes bem como diferentes geometrias de peças foram estudadas com o intuito de entender a sua evolução dimensional e microestrutural sob condições de processamento industriais. Os resultados são reportados na forma de micrografias óticas e eletrônicas, gráficos de variação dimensional em função das condições de sinterização, análises dilatométricas e análise térmica diferencial (ATD).

Abstract:

Tesis presentada a la Universidad de Chile para optar al grado de Doctora en Química La manosa es un monosacárido presente en muchas membranas celulares en forma de glicolípido o glicoproteína. Los glicolípidos son moléculas anfifílicas en las cuales la parte hidrofílica corresponde a un glúcido y la hidrofóbica son ácidos grasos o cadenas hidrocarbonadas. Debido a la naturaleza anfifílica los glicolípidos, en medio acuoso pueden agregarse de forma espontánea, o no, para formar diversas estructuras supramoleculares, tales como; micelas, vesículas y/o liposomas. Estos sistemas tienen diversas aplicaciones en áreas de solubilización de membranas, liberación controlada de drogas y cristales líquidos, entre otras. Por otra parte, los glúcidos presentes en la superficie de las membranas celulares son uno de los principales actores en diferentes procesos de interés biológicos. Por ejemplo, están involucrados en el reconocimiento célula-célula, célula-virus/bacteria, célula-toxina, entre otros. En este trabajo se sintetizaron 9 derivados alquílicos de manopiranosa (con una y dos cadenas hidrocarbonadas), con el objetivo de evaluar la capacidad de solubilizar modelos de membranas y modificar la superficie de vesículas para ser utilizadas como sistema multivalente en el reconocimiento específico de lectinas. La caracterización de la estructuración de la interfase y de la región hidrofóbica de los agregados formados, en medio acuoso, por estos derivados muestra una dependencia lineal con el aumento de unidades metilénicas de las cadenas hidrocarbonadas. Además, el derivado hexadecil manopiranósido puede formar vesículas unilamelares gigantes, aunque cálculos teóricos de la topología de este derivado indican que podría formar micelas. Los derivados monoalquil manopiranósidos con 12 y 16 unidades metilénicas no presentan la capacidad de solubilizar membranas modelo (vesículas), debido a que la curvatura de los agregados formados por estos derivados es similar a la curvatura de los agregados formados por los lípidos comerciales utilizados. La incorporación de derivados monoalquílicos de manopiranosa en vesículas de DODAC produce una disminución en la temperatura de transición de fase. El mayor efecto es observado por la incorporación del derivado con 12 unidades metilénicas. Un aumento en el largo de la cadena hidrocarbonada (16 unidades) provoca que el glicolípido durante la transición de fase tenga afinidad por la fase gel en lugar a la fase líquido cristalina. El coeficiente de partición de los derivados monoalquil manopiranósidos en tres vesículas (DODAC, POPC, DPPC), da cuenta que el factor hidrofóbico de los glicolípidos no es el único factor que gobierna esta interacción (vesícula-glicolípido). Finalmente, es posible caracterizar cómo se encuentran incorporados los glicolípidos en las vesículas a partir de la respuesta de la interacción con Concanavalina A (proteína que interacciona específicamente con manopiranosa). El aumento del largo de cadena hidrocarbonada en derivados monoalquil y dialquil manopiranósido promueve una incorporación más profunda del glicolípido en la interfase, impidiendo la interacción con la Concanavalina A. La incorporación de un extensor oxietilénico en los derivados dialquil manopiranósido favorece la exposición de la manopiranosa en la superficie y por lo tanto la interacción con Concanavalina A es más favorecida que en el caso de sus análogos sin extensor. El aumento en la hidrofobicidad de los derivados dialquil manopiranosido con un grupo extensor redice el número de conformaciones que desfavorecen la interacción con la lectina The monosacharide mannose is a molecule present in a great number of biological membranes, in both, glycolipids or glycoproteins. The glycolipids are amphiphilic molecules, where the carbohydrate corresponds to the hydrophilic region and hydrocarbon chain to the hydrophobic region. Due to their amphiphilic nature, glycolipids in aqueous media, can self-assemble to form supramolecular aggregates (e.g., micelles, vesicles and liposomes). These aggregates have applications in membrane solubilization, drug delivery and liquid crystals. The carbohydrates located at the surface of cellular membranes are involved in processes like cell-cell recognition, cell-virus/bacteria interaction and cell-toxin, among others. In this research, 9 different alkyl derivatives of mannose (with one or two methylene chains) were synthetized. Two are the main goals related to this work: Study the ability to solubilize model membranes and study how the modification of the vesicle surface with these glycolipids modulates the specific interaction with lectins. For alkyl mannoside aggregates, the length of hydrocarbon chain directly affects structuration of both, interface and hydrocarbon chain region. Additionally, the longest monoalkyl mannoside (hexadecyl chain) is able form giant unilamellar vesicles. The derivatives with 12 and 16 methylene units do not have the capability to solubilize model vesicles, because their spontaneous curvature, coincides with the one of the matrix lipid. The incorporation of glycolipids to DODAC vesicles results in a decrease of bilayer phase transition temperature. The highest effect is observed when for the incorporation of the derivative with 12 methylene units. An increase in the hydrophobic balance (derivative with 16 methylene units) yields a glycolipid with increased affinity for the gel phase. The partition coefficient was evaluated for all monoalkyl mannoside derivatives in three different model vesicles (DODAC, DPPC and POPC). The results obtained indicate that not only the hydrophobic factor drives glycolipid incorporation into vesicles, but also interactions at interface and membrane structuration are involved. The incorporation of glycolipids to vesicles is expected to increase their specificity toward specific targets such as lectins, particularly in this case Concanavalin A; however, the degree of exposure of the carbohydrate moiety at the liposome surface is a crucial parameter to be considered and characterized for the interaction. Longer hydrocarbon chain in mono and di-alkyl derivatives favor a deeper insertion into the bilayer and hence mannose moiety is less exposed at the surface to interact with Concanavalin A Conicyt

Jorge Teixeira ) . This fair is located in the city center , opposite the harbor which bears the same name , is a multitude of workers who develop the various forms of work. There we found the carters , workers who sell their labor power offering the service of transport of goods on a trolley . Our goal was to characterize the process of working with the fair carters Manaus Moderna , questioning its inclusion within the fair as a form of precarious occupation and work life. For this we search through specific objectives to understand the functioning of the fair Manaus Moderna , overseeing the work of the carters in everyday life to point their conditions , and identify the forms of organization of this work , as well as the strategies found by the subjects for subsistence in this activity . The research procedures involving the application forms for ten (10 ) workers ; informal conversations with carters and other employees of the fair ; interview with the administrator of the fair ; observation and photographic recording . In this work we weave considerations about the interaction between the river and the city , as well as historically processed the logic occupation of spaces along the river as a territory of work, explain the historical relationship between cities , fairs and markets ; describe how to configure the spatial structure of the fair Manaus Moderna and its functioning . Through research we can conclude that the activity of chariot is considered a typical activity fairs and ports in the Amazon , as this category arose by an overriding need for the fair. This is , of a relevant segment in the world of urban / Amazon river work, as this will contribute to the complex dynamic network of business transactions. As the result of the interviews , the yields are generally low, but according to those interviewed workers are better than if they were employed . Moreover , these workers indicate their preference for working on their own autonomy in relation to the times and the absence of the figure of the boss . We also note the existence of networks of social relations in the everyday work of the carters that develop as strategies found by the subjects for subsistence in this activity , as the relations of reciprocity . The survey also revealed that the ratio of the chariot with his work environment is a relationship of improvisation , without the least ergonomic and hygienic conditions , without the least protection as labor and social rights , which among other features , denotes that precariousness of their work. Nesta dissertação buscamos refletir sobre os trabalhadores que se autodenominam carreteiros da feira Manaus Moderna (oficialmente denominada de feira Cel. Jorge Teixeira). Esta feira está localizada no centro da cidade, em frente ao porto que leva o mesmo nome, onde se encontra uma multiplicidade de trabalhadores que desenvolvem as mais variadas formas de trabalho. Lá encontramos os carreteiros, trabalhadores que vendem sua força de trabalho oferecendo o serviço de transporte de mercadorias num carrinho. Nosso objetivo foi caracterizar o processo de trabalho dos carreteiros da feira Manaus Moderna, problematizando sua inserção no território da feira enquanto forma de ocupação precária de trabalho e de vida. Para isto buscamos através dos objetivos específicos entender o funcionamento da feira Manaus Moderna, acompanhando o trabalho dos carreteiros no cotidiano para apontar suas condições, além de identificar as formas de organização desse trabalho, bem como as estratégias encontradas pelos sujeitos para a subsistência nessa atividade. Os procedimentos da pesquisa envolveram a aplicação de formulários para 10 (dez) trabalhadores; conversas informais com os carreteiros e demais trabalhadores da feira; entrevista com o administrador da feira; a observação e o registro fotográfico. Neste trabalho também tecemos considerações sobre a interação entre o rio e a cidade, destacando como se processou historicamente a lógica de ocupação dos espaços à beira-rio enquanto território de trabalho; explicamos a relação histórica entre as cidades, as feiras e mercados; descrevemos como se configura a estrutura espacial da feira Manaus Moderna e seu funcionamento. Com a pesquisa pudemos concluir que a atividade de carreteiro é considerada uma atividade típica de feiras e portos, já que esta categoria surgiu por uma necessidade primordial da feira. Trata-se, de um segmento relevante no mundo do trabalho urbano/fluvial amazonense, pois contribui para dar dinamismo à complexa rede de transações comerciais. Os resultados apontados pela pesquisa dão conta de os rendimentos de modo geral são baixos, mas de acordo com os trabalhadores entrevistados são melhores do que se fossem assalariados. Além disso, esses trabalhadores apontam a sua preferência em trabalhar por conta própria pela autonomia em relação aos horários e pela ausência da figura do patrão. Constatamos também a existência de redes de relações sociais no cotidiano de trabalho dos carreteiros que se desenvolvem como estratégias encontradas pelos sujeitos para a subsistência nessa atividade. A pesquisa também revelou que a relação do carreteiro com seu ambiente de trabalho é uma relação de improviso, sem o mínimo de condições ergonômicas e higiênicas, sem o mínimo de amparo quanto a direitos trabalhistas ou sociais, o que entre outras características, denota a precariedade do trabalho que desenvolvem.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Raimundo Martins de Lima.pdf: 2949287 bytes, checksum: 82ee46b7ea086eb0809daeb181c1098c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-04-25 This work aims at discussing the presence and the role of the library in the public schools of Manaus from 2001 to 2010. It is believed that libraries are cultural products created by men to help them achieve their goals and their individual and collective projects. This happens according to their visions of world and of society. Their existence and actions are both conditioned by the hegemonic cultural values of its time and place, which is a subordination that can lead them to serve either the emancipation or the barbarism, depending on the nature of the contribution given to the civilizing process of the society in which they are inserted. This research has been motivated by the meaning that the contribution to the civilizing process provided by school libraries has. The social reality of the field throughout the country fosters the defense of the thesis that the school library is an educational service and a social practice geared to the production of symbolic cultural heritage. Nevertheless, it is not necessarily a factor of emancipation. We have researched the living conditions and the factors that hindered and prevented carrying out the responsibilities of libraries as an educational service and as a social practice for the cultural education of students in order to infer the nature of their contribution. Being qualitative in nature, this work makes use of the social theory method to situate the school library in the context of society, using as reference its insertion in the fields of culture and education. It also makes use of emancipation categories and symbolic violence to analyze the information on their concrete social reality. The sample was defined by the technique of single sampling. Seven public schools in Manaus from the existing 366 were chosen, one for each District Division. In addition to consultation of available literature, the research required also field research and analysis of information. The literature research was operated both presentially and virtually in order to provide theoretical foundation and to locate the legal texts on national and local public policies on the school library system. The field research involved documentary and personal sources. The documentary section was gathered at the Municipal Education Office (SEMED), in schools and in the Official Gazette of the Municipality. With the documents at hand, we sought to identify the type of participation the library has in the organizational structure of SEMED as well as in its political-educational school projects. The personal information was collected through semi-structured interviews applied to former secretaries, managers, educators and people responsible for libraries and reading rooms of the chosen schools. The analysis revealed that the insertion of the school library in the official documents of public policies of national and local education is minimal and ineffective to justify its existence in the elementary schools. The Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education does not even mention it; the National Education Plan only includes it in the objective referring to the development of national minimum standards of education infrastructure. The 1997 National Curriculum Standards only recommend its inception in schools as a condition for the formation of good readers. The administrative regulations of the municipal authorities and the pedagogical orientations of SEMED just mention libraries in the organizational structure of that entity and there are rare political- school pedagogical projects that present objective information on the organization and functioning of libraries in the schools. The conclusion we come to shows that there is no evidence that the libraries studied in the period were instrumented to contribute positively to the social and political emancipation of its users. Only one exception has been identified. So, their functioning tend to have contributed much more to a regression to barbarism than to the emancipation of the subject. Ao problematizar a presença e a atuação da biblioteca nas escolas públicas municipais de Manaus do período de 2001/2010, entende que as bibliotecas são produtos culturais criados pelos homens para ajudá-los a alcançar os seus objetivos e projetos individuais e coletivos, segundo as suas visões de mundo e de sociedade. Isto faz com que a sua existência e atuação sejam ambas condicionadas pelos valores culturais hegemônicos em cada tempo e lugar, subordinação que pode colocá-las a serviço da emancipação ou da barbárie, dependendo da natureza das contribuições dadas ao processo civilizatório da sociedade onde esteja inserida. O sentido da contribuição dada ao processo civilizatório pela biblioteca escolar estudada foi o problema que motivou o estudo, enquanto que a realidade social do seu campo em todo o País forneceu os conteúdos para a defesa da tese de que a biblioteca escolar é um serviço pedagógico e uma prática social voltados à produção de bens culturais simbólicos, mas não é obrigatoriamente um fator de emancipação. Investigou as suas condições de existência e de atuação e os fatores que dificultavam e impediam a realização das suas responsabilidades como serviço pedagógico e prática social destinados à formação cultural dos alunos nessas escolas, para inferir sobre a natureza da sua contribuição. De natureza qualitativa, recorre ao método da teoria social para situar a biblioteca escolar na totalidade da sociedade, a partir da sua inserção nos campos da cultura e da educação, e às categorias emancipação e violência simbólica para análise das informações sobre a sua realidade social concreta. A amostra foi definida por meio da técnica da amostragem simples, tendo sido selecionadas sete escolas públicas municipais de Manaus, das 366 existentes, uma de cada Divisão Distrital. Além da pesquisa bibliográfica, envolveu pesquisa de campo e a análise das informações. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi operada presencial e virtualmente para fundamentação teórica e localização dos textos legais sobre as políticas públicas de educação nacional e municipal e estudos sobre a biblioteca escolar. A pesquisa de campo foi processada em fontes documentais e pessoais. A parte documental foi feita na Secretaria Municipal de Educação (SEMED), nas escolas e no Diário Oficial do Município para identificar a forma de inserção da biblioteca na estrutura organizacional da SEMED e nos projetos político-pedagógicos das escolas. Já as informações pessoais foram coletadas mediante entrevistas semi-estruturadas, aplicadas aos ex-Secretários, Gestores, Pedagogos e Responsáveis pelas bibliotecas e salas de leitura das escolas que no período estudado desempenharam essas funções. As análises revelaram que a inserção da biblioteca escolar nos documentos oficiais das políticas públicas da educação nacional e municipal é mínima e ineficaz para determinar a sua existência nas escolas de ensino fundamental. A Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional atual nem a cita; o Plano Nacional de Educação só a inclui na meta de elaboração de padrões mínimos nacionais de infra-estrutura para esse ensino; os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais de 1997 só recomendam a sua criação nas escolas como condição para a formação de bons leitores; os Regulamentos Administrativos do Poder Municipal e as Orientações Pedagógicas da SEMED apenas a situam na estrutura organizacional dessa entidade; e são raros os projetos político-pedagógicos das escolas que apresentam informações objetivas sobre a organização e o funcionamento da biblioteca das escolas pesquisadas. Conclui que não há indícios de que as bibliotecas estudadas, no período de 2001 a 2010, estivessem instrumentalizadas para contribuir de forma positiva para a emancipação social e política dos seus usuários, tendo sido identificada só uma exceção. Por isso as suas atuações tendem a ter contribuído mais aos atos de regressão à barbárie.

Abstract:

In a novel approach using agency theory, we conceptualize export pricing as price manipulations an exporter initiates to cope with the distributor-level, internal competition with the other product lines the distributor carries. We argue that suppliers can influence foreign resellers' behaviors and therefore manage export channel relationships with prices. Using a sample of 283 exporter-importer relationships, we uncover the export price manipulations used to cope with internal competition, and we examine their impact on the exporter economic performance. We show that the performance effect of this pricing policy is achieved through the adequate role performance of the importer. Moreover, using a small but rare dyadic data set, we offer an additional test of the effectiveness of this form of pricing. Finally, by comparing the results of our study to exporters' practice we show how they tend to overuse price discounts to motivate their overseas distributors. (authors' abstract)

Thesis (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management; and, (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division; in conjunction with the Leaders for Global Operations Program at MIT, 2010. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (p. 64-65). The research conducted for this thesis was performed at "Company X", a U.S.-based engineered goods manufacturer. This project focused on the company's Advanced Manufacturing group and its process technology development methodology. The newly founded Advanced Manufacturing group started multiple innovation projects, but did not successfully implement any of them so far. Lack of organizational integration, an overall R&D strategy, as well as a defined innovation methodology negatively affected the difficult situation of that small group of engineers. This project seeks to compare the innovation methodology and process technology development of Advanced Manufacturing with best practices from similar industries as well as literature. An analysis of how to choose the right R&D projects, as well as how to execute these projects, demonstrates the differences between Company X and other organizations that are considered innovative. Case studies of a specific R&D project, in addition to an interdisciplinary workgroup of Advanced Manufacturing, highlight the positive and negative characteristics of the current innovation process. The results of this analysis provide Company X with additional insights how to use the existing innovation resources more successfully. Recommendations provided in this thesis can be used by Company X to support future technology development projects but also to help the newly founded task force that started to develop a company-wide innovation strategy (process and product innovation).

Abstract:

Transfer pricing compliance related issues continue to pose challenges to leaders of multinational entities (MNEs) and tax regulators. MNE leaders strive to mitigate the risks of non-compliance violations and double taxation, while tax regulators seek to minimize profit shifting and revenue losses. This multiple case study explored strategies for managing transfer pricing risks against the backdrop of various risks MNE leaders face for non-compliance violations. The cost contribution agreement theory served as the conceptual framework for this study. Data were collected from organizational documents and semistructured interviews conducted with 6 finance executives representing 2 multinational entities in the midwest and southwest regions of the United States who have implemented successful strategies to manage transfer pricing risks. Data were analyzed using Yin's multiple-step thematic analysis process. Following the thematic data analysis 5 themes emerged, including commitment to tax compliance, tax minimization, advance pricing agreement (APA), comparable uncontrolled price method (CUP), and cost plus method (CPM). MNE leaders favor commitment to tax compliance as an effective strategy as penalties for non-compliance increases risks to business functionality. The findings of this study may help business leaders to follow compliance procedures and adopt risk mitigation strategies, while also informing regulators to update tax regulations to reflect current economic realities. The findings of this study could result in positive social change through an enhanced governmental revenue that stimulates economic growth, improves productivity, and promotes technological innovations.

A argumentação que se segue é resultado de uma postura metodológica que pôs em suspensão a noção de colônia, que compõe os discursos dos imigrantes palestinos de Manaus para se referirem ao conjunto de famílias palestinas que vivem naquela cidade. Demonstro que esta colônia não é apenas um conjunto de pessoas que possuem interesses e identificações políticas em comum: ela é um lugar entre o Amazonas e a Palestina, produzido e reproduzido pelos laços persistentes e complementares de sua conformação. A colônia palestina de Manaus é um conjunto de relações que se produzem através de disposições alimentadas sobre moralidades e trocas de recursos materiais, afetivos e simbólicos. A colônia, nesta dissertação, é o efeito de modelos geradores que distribuo espacialmente entre a “casa” e o “mercado”, responsáveis por provocar a característica de insularidade destas famílias, que existem num campo social único e dependente do chão de Manaus e do céu da Palestina. This dissertation is an ethnographic effort to identify the elementary phenomena generators of the Palestinian colony of Manaus. The argument that follows is the result of a methodological approach which it has suspended the colony notion, which make up the discourse of Palestinian immigrants from Manaus to refer to the set of Palestinian families who live in that city. This shows that this colony is not just a collection of people who have interests and political identifications in common: it is a place between the Amazonas and Palestine, produced and reproduced by persistent and complementary ties of its conformation. The Palestinian colony of Manaus is a set of relations which are produced through provisions powered about morals and exchange of material resources, affective and symbolic. The colony, of this dissertation, is the effect of generating models that distribute spatially between "home" and the "market", responsible for causing insularity characteristic of these families, which exist only one social field and dependent on the floor of Manaus and the Palestine sky.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa propõe uma análise do processo de apropriação de ferramentas audiovisuais entre os Manoki, povo indígena de tronco isolado que vive ao noroeste de Mato Grosso, e suas correlações com os discursos nativos sobre a história. A partir de uma etnografia mediada pelo vídeo utilizado pelos indígenas de forma proeminentemente prospectiva em estratégias de registro e autorrepresentação , chega-se a diversos temas próprios da etnologia indígena, como relações intergeracionais, concepções sobre tempo, ritual e escatologia. Ao conjugar as abordagens antropológicas sobre audiovisual e povos ameríndios, a análise pretende levar em consideração a perspectiva nativa a propósito das transformações em seu mundo e o papel que o registro audiovisual pode ter para os Manoki. This research proposes an analysis of the appropriation process of audio-visual tools among the Manoki, indigenous people who live in northwest of Mato Grosso, and their correlations with native discourses about history. Through an ethnography mediated by video used by indigenous people in a prominently prospectively way in strategies for registration and selfrepresentation we arrive at several ethnological themes such as intergenerational relationships, conceptions of time, ritual and eschatology. By combining anthropological approaches in audio-visual and Amerindian peoples, the analysis aims to take into account the native perspective on the subject of changes in their world and the role that audio-visual records may have to Manoki people.

Abstract:

L’engouement pour les œuvres d’origine japonaise sur le territoire français est à l’origine de notre questionnement de départ. Cette recherche en Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication propose d'étudier le processus de légitimation et de médiation du manga en France. Dans leur pays d’origine, les mangas sont issus de techniques picturales et graphiques ancestrales mais ne prennent véritablement leur forme contemporaine qu’au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, grâce à un mangaka : Osamu Tezuka. S’ils sont parfaitement intégrés dans les pratiques culturelles japonaises, la situation est tout autre dans notre pays. Ainsi, nous nous proposons de revenir sur la construction du processus de légitimation du manga en France par l’étude du discours d’un corpus de deux titres de presse. L’approche diachronique nous permet de revenir sur les différentes étapes de l’introduction des mangas depuis l’arrivée de l’un des premiers dessins animés à la télévision hertzienne en 1978 : Goldorak. C’est ensuite aux lecteurs que nous donnons la parole grâce à une étude qualitative des pratiques. L’enquête de réception nous donne alors les moyens de mieux comprendre la diversité des pratiques, le processus de construction de sens opéré par les lecteurs et l’appropriation de l’objet au fil du temps. Loin de la représentation d’un lecteur enfermé sur lui-même, notre recherche témoigne de la diversité d’engagement et des modes de faire des lecteurs et de l’importance de la dimension sociale qui accompagne la lecture. Un regard qui met en lumière les mécanismes de médiation du manga tant sur un plan intime que social The keen interest in Japanese works in France triggered our questioning. Through this research in science of information and communication, we propose to study the process of legitimization and mediation of the manga in France. In their country of origin, mangas come from remote pictorial and graphic techniques, but only take their current form after World War II, thanks to one mangaka: Osamu Tezuka. Even though mangas are perfectly integrated in Japanese culture, the situation is quite different in our country. Thus, we will come back on the building of the process of legitimization of the manga in France through a study of the publications from two selected periodicals. The diachronic approach enables us to come back on the different steps of the manga introduction in France, since the arrival of one of the first cartoons on television in 1978: Goldorak. We will then put the emphasis on the readers’ practises, through a qualitative study. The reception survey gives us a better understanding of the diversity of the practices, the process of constructing meaning by the readers, and how they made manga their own over time. Far from the representation of a withdrawn reader, our study demonstrates that there is diversity in the involvement and practices of the readers, as well as a social dimension associated to the reading. This approach highlights the mechanisms of manga mediation, from a personal as well as from a social point of view

Abstract:

Archaeological excavations by the Proyecto Arqueológico-Paleoetnobotánico Río Jama (PAPRJ) in the Jama River Valley of northern Manabí, Ecuador, have established a cultural chronology spanning over three millennia of prehispanic occupation. One of these occupations, the Tabuchila Complex of the Late Formative Period (1000 – 500 BCE), remains poorly understood. Excavations at three sites in the Jama Valley in the 1990s recovered ceramic, lithic, obsidian, paleobotanical, archaeofaunal, and human skeletal remains from Late Formative Tabuchila contexts, with the goal of orienting Late Formative occupation of the northern Manabí region to its contemporaries in western lowland Ecuador. This study employs modal ceramic analysis to recognize and catalogue formal and stylistic variation within the recovered Tabuchila ceramic assemblage. Through this analysis the Tabuchila assemblage is compared to other studies of Late Formative Chorrera assemblages to understand how Tabuchila represented a regional variant of and contributor to the formation of the Chorrera ceramic tradition. In addition, a sovereignty-based theoretical approach explores how this ceramic assemblage reflects deeper processes of emergent social complexity and early attempts at establishing inequality in northern Manabí’s regional mound center of San Isidro. Results and discussions of the analysis examine a community connected with its Middle and Late Formative contemporaries across the western lowlands and engaged in feasting activity in the vicinity of the central mound of San Isidro.

Os efeitos indiretos ocorridos na economia manauara ocorrem principalmente na inclusão de novos postos de trabalho, os quais geraram mais de 75 mil empregos diretos e indiretos. Outro dado importante são os custos com o congestionamento de veículos que somam mais de R$ 500 milhões por ano. O crescimento econômico por sua vez ocorrerá somente no período de realização das obras publico-privada ampliando ainda mais a economia da cidade de Manaus.

Tentou-se desenvolver uma análise que fosse capaz de situar o profissional de nível superior nas indústrias da Zona Franca levando-se em consideração a percepção de uma contradição bastante evidente. Se por um lado, Zonas Francas são· espaços industriais enclavados, onde empresas multinacionais podem importar livremente matérias primas ou produtos semi-acabados para processá-los e reexportar; por outro lado, como este processo consiste,em sua grande parte, em algumas operações de rotina, sobretudo de solda ou de montagens microscópicas por mão-de-obra barata e semi-qualificada, profissionais de nível superior se tornam desnecessários.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os processos de migrações pendulares verificados entre os municípios pertencentes à Região Metropolitana de Manaus. Para isto buscaremos compreender como se deu o processo de constituição desta região, bem como a relação de sua criação com a lógica de criação de Regiões Metropolitanas no Brasil. Duas de suas características que a colocam em situação de diferença é, em princípio, sua dimensão, 101.475 Km², e sua distribuição, dada em uma área de características predominantemente rural, florestal e sem conurbação, onde a cidade mais próxima do centro da cidade Manaus é a do Careiro da Várzea, a 22 km de distância e a mais distante é a de Itacoatiara, com 177 km, ambas por linha reta, sendo que a primeira se liga a capital apenas através de barcos, e a segunda através de rodovia. A Região Metropolitana de Manaus se apresenta como um arquipélago onde Manaus pode ser compreendida como resultado de uma urbanização macrocefálica, praticamente vinte vezes maior que o segundo municípios, Itacoatiara, e mais de cem vezes o de menor população, Careiro da Várzea, sendo que esses municípios se apresentam como resultado de uma urbanização ainda insipiente, apresentando muitas características rurais. Frente a isto buscamos quantificar e qualificar os fluxos de trabalhadores e estudantes diários, observados entre os municípios, tendo como ênfase de análise os municípios com maior propensão à integração com a cidade de Manaus, Careiro da Várzea e Iranduba, pois são as que se encontram separadas da capital apenas por curso d´água. Entre Manaus e Iranduba especificamente analisaremos como a construção da Ponte sobre o Rio Negro possibilitará o processo de urbanização acelerada em Iranduba, bem como a especulação gerada pelo capital imobiliário no município. Frente a isto buscamos compreender qual o papel do Poder público, no modelo de desenvolvimento que se espera para a região. This research has as objective Analyze the processes of commuting recorded between the municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of Manaus. This is why we will understand how the process of constitution of the region, as well as the relation of its creation with the logic of creation of Metropolitan regions in Brazil. Two of its characteristics that place in a situation of difference, it is, in principle, its size, 101.475 Km², and its distribution, given in an area of features predominantly rural, forestry and without conurbation, where the closest city to the center of the city Manaus is the Careiro da Varzea, 22 Km away and the more distant is the Itacoatiara with 177 km, both by straight line, being that first binds to the capital only through boats, and the second through road. The Metropolitan Region of Manaus is presented as an archipelago where Manaus can be understood as the result of an urbanization macrocephalic, with a population almost 20 times higher than the second municipalities, Itacoatiara, and more than a hundred times the smaller the population, Careiro da Varzea, Being that these municipalities are presented as a result of urbanization is still insipient, presenting many rural characteristics. Front of the that we seek to quantify and qualify the flows of workers and students daily, observed between the municipalities, with the emphasis of analysis the municipalities with the highest propensity for integration with the city of Manaus, Careiro da Várzea and Iranduba, because they are the ones that are separated of the capital only for watercourse. Between Manaus and Iranduba specifically we will examine how the construction of the Bridge over the Rio Negro will enable the process of accelerated urbanization in Iranduba, as well as speculation generated by real estate capital of the municipality. Because of that we seek to understand what is the role of the public Power, In the model of development that is expected for the region.

Abstract:

Foi avaliado quantitativamente o impacto que as atividades antropogênicas da cidade de Manaus causam na composição elementar dos aerossóis na Amazônia central. Para isso, foram amostrados aerossóis em três sítios experimentais entre 2014 e 2015: 1) ZF2, sítio com floresta preservada, 2) Hotel TIWA com impacto direto de emissões de Manaus e 3) Manacapuru sítio vento abaixo da cidade de Manaus. Dos filtros coletados obteve-se a concentração de diferentes componentes do material particulado (MP): Black Carbon Equivalente (BCe), elementos traço (Na até Pb), concentração de MP e carbono elementar e orgânico (EC e OC) separados em MP Fino (MPF, diâmetro menor que 2,5µm) e MP grosso (MPG, diâmetro entre 2,5µm e 10µm). A concentração média de MPF apresentou forte sazonalidade em todos os sítios com concentrações variando de 2,3±2,7µg/m³ para 5,5±2,7µg/m³ na ZF2 e 3,7±2,0µg/m³ para 11,0±7,6µg/m³ no TIWA na estação chuvosa e seca, respectivamente. Elementos traços associados a processos industriais e/ou veiculares apresentaram concentração média de aproximadamente 2 a 6 vezes maior no sítio TIWA que na ZF2. O balanço de massa indicou que entre 50% e 80% do MPF foi de matéria orgânica (MO), 15% a 20% foi de sulfato e de 8 a 20% de BCe. Comparações entre as concentrações de MO, indicaram aerossol mais envelhecido em Manacapuru. A aplicação da Análise de Componentes Principais Absoluta (ACPA) no MPF extraiu fatores regionais em todos os sítios: queima de biomassa, poeira mineral e aerossol marinho, além de fatores como poluição industrial e veicular nos sítios afetados pela pluma de Manaus. Além desses fatores encontrados pela ACPA, o método Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) extraiu um fator biogênico no MPF e mais de um fator marinho para o MPG relacionados com o processamento do aerossol marinho. A concentração de MP extraído no TIWA para fatores diretamente relacionados com atividade antropogênica é em média de 905ng/m³ (MPF) e 1285ng/m³ (MPG). This work quantitatively investigated the impact of anthropogenic emissions from Manaus City on the elemental composition of aerosol at Central Amazonia collecting particulate matter (PM) from 2014 to 2015 at ZF2, upwind of Manaus and TIWA and Manacapuru, downwind of Manaus. From the filters collected, different components of the PM were measured: equivalent Black Carbon (eBC), trace elements (Na to Pb), PM concentration and Elemental and Organic Carbon (EC and OC) with fine (FPM, diameter < 2.5um) and coarse (CPM, 2.5um < diameter < 10um) mode separated. At the dry season, FPM concentration was 5,5ug/m³ at ZF2 and 11,0ug/m³ at TIWA and for the CPM it was of 5,5ug/m³, 7,1ug/m³, respectively. During the wet season, reduction on the concentration of all sites at both modes was observed. Mass Balance Analysis showed that Organic Matter (OM) varied approximately from 50% to 80%, sulfate from 15% to 20% and eBC from 8% to 20% for the FPM. Comparisons between OM, obtained through spectrometry, and OC showed a more aged aerosol at Manacapuru than at TIWA. Absolute Principal Components Analysis (APCA) extracted three main factors at all sites for the FPM: biomass burning, marine aerosol and soil dust whilst PMF could also extract a biogenic factor. For the sites downwind of Manaus, factors related with anthropogenic emission were extracted. For the CPM three factors were identified at all sites: biogenic emission, soil dust and marine aerosol. PMF also found a second factor related with Cl depletion on marine aerosol. At the site TIWA both methods extracted a factor identified as pollution and PMF also found a factor related with vehicular emissions whilst at Manacapuru on APCA extracted a pollution factor. Direct anthropogenic emissions vehicular and pollution factors - at TIWA varies from 880ng/m³ (ACPA) to 930ng/m³ (PMF) in fine mode. In the coarse mode 790ng/m³ (APCA) to 1780ng/m³ (PMF).

Abstract:

O estudo tem como objetivo principal identificar a percepção dos frequentadores do Parque Municipal do Idoso em Manaus, Estado do Amazonas, a respeito da preocupação governamental em garantir e viabilizar seu acesso às atividades de lazer. Os objetivos específicos são sistematização do conhecimento acadêmico científico relacionado ao lazer e ao envelhecimento; a análise teórica e documental da legislação existente que contempla o cidadão idoso para a garantia de seus direitos fundamentais e sociais e, as percepções do público idoso de Manaus a respeito da tradução das políticas de lazer que a eles se direcionam em ações concretas por parte do poder público municipal. A pesquisa justifica-se pela discreta produção científica identificada cuja temática do lazer, envelhecimento e políticas públicas estejam interligadas, colaborando inclusive para revisão e elaboração de tais políticas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa interpretativa, quali quantitativa, de caráter exploratório. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados propostos consistem em levantamento bibliográfico e documental, visitas in loco com registro fotográfico, observação, conversas informais e entrevistas com questionário semiestruturados. A proposta metodológica visa coletar dados afim de colaborar na interpretação das percepções do público idoso em questões acerca das políticas públicas de lazer materializadas nas ações práticas de atividades desenvolvidas no âmbito municipal. A pesquisa atingiu seus objetivos uma vez que os idosos frequentadores do Parque Municipal do Idoso que participaram das entrevistas, quase que em sua totalidade, demonstraram-se atendidos pelo poder público municipal em seu direito de acesso ao lazer, inclusive foi possível conhecer o perfil e percepções a respeito das instalações e das atividades em geral The study aims to identify the perception of the patrons of the Municipal Senior Park in Manaus, Amazonas State, regarding the government´s concern to ensure and facilitate their access to leisure activities. The specific objectives of this paper are to organize the academic knowledge related to leisure and aging; to analize the existing legislation which garantees the fundamental and social rights of senior citizens; and to determine the perception of the elderly population of Manaus in relation to the policies by the municipal government concerning leisure.This study is relevant based on the limited amount of scientific production where the themes of leisure, aging and public policy are interconnected and by its potential to collaborate to the review and preparation of these policies. This research is interpretive, quantitative, qualitative and exploratory in nature. The proposed data collection instruments consist of bibliographic and documentary analysis, on-site visits with observation, informal conversations and interviews utilizing semi-structured questionnaires. The methodology aims to collect data in order to facilitate the interpretation of the perception of the elderly public in relation to public policies concerning leisure that have been materialized into opertations at the municipal level. The study achieved its objectives since almost all the elderly patrons of the Municipal Elderly Park who participated in the interviews, showed satisfaction by the municipal government in terms of their right to the access to leisure. Furthermore, it was possible to identify the profile and perception of the patrons in respect to the park´s facilities and activities in general

This indigenous society of isolate language lives in western part of Mato Grosso state (Brazil), on two Indigenous Territories located in the municipal district of Brasnorte. Historical accounts of the event indicate that their first contacts with the members of the national expansion front reaching the state of Mato Grosso territory in the beginning of the 20th century occurred in a violent way. On that occasion, they became known to the Brazilian society by the name of Irantxe or Iranche, denomination which has never represented any meaning to them. Such a denomination was probably assigned to them by the Pareci people and adopted by the Brazilian military expedition called Comissão Rodon ( Rondon Commission the Strategic Telegraph Lines Commission of Mato Grosso to Amazonas) whenever referring to them in the everyday situations. Afterwards, already in the beginning of the second half of the last century, they found themselves forced to live under the Jesuits wardship as the only way to warrant their existence, the reason why for decades they have been recognised as the Indians of the Church . In the 70s, an isolated group of Manoki people were contacted by the Jesuit Mission near the stream called Escondido (which means hidden in English). Although the perspectives of the contact relations have been established in different ways, the isolated group was also strongly labelled as a product of the missionary action. However, since the year 2000, they have adopted as their auto-denomination the term Manoki which refers to all those who share their traditional rituals. For decades they have been identified as a good example of an indigenous group fully assimilated into the Brazilian society. Nevertheless, as we investigate their trajectory of contact by means of the analysis of historical records and personal accounts collected in fieldwork, we can notice that the history of contact of this people shows elements indicating a strong connection between their mythical and sacred universe and the way they have conducted their relationships with members of the Brazilian society over the course of their history. In fact, the historical dynamics followed by the Manoki society is simultaneously marked by forces of transformation and continuity that move this people endowed with cultural and identity specificity O presente estudo tem por objetivo refletir sobre a trajetória de contato percorrida pelo Povo Manoki ao longo do século XX. Esta sociedade indígena de língua isolada vive na porção oeste do estado de Mato Grosso em duas Terras Indígenas localizadas no município de Brasnorte. Relatos históricos indicam que seus primeiros contatos junto aos representantes da frente de expansão que atingiu o território mato-grossense no inicio do século XX ocorreram de forma violenta. Naquela ocasião, tornaram-se conhecidos da sociedade brasileira pelo nome Irantxe ou Iranche, denominação que nunca teve nenhum significado para eles. Tal denominação provavelmente lhes foi atribuída pelos Pareci e adotada pela Comissão Rondon cotidianamente. Posteriormente, já no início da segunda metade do século passado, viram-se obrigados a viver sob a tutela dos Jesuítas como única forma de garantir sua existência, razão pela qual durante décadas foram reconhecidos como sendo os índios da igreja . Na década de 70, um grupo isolado de Manoki foi contatado pela Missão Jesuíta nas proximidades do córrego Escondido. Embora as perspectivas das relações de contato tenham sido estabelecidas de maneira diferenciada, o grupo isolado também foi fortemente rotulado como um produto da ação missionária. Entretanto a partir de 2000, eles assumiram como autodenominação o termo Manoki, que se refere a todos os que compartilham de seus rituais tradicionais. Durante décadas, foram identificados como um bom exemplo de grupo indígena totalmente assimilado pela sociedade brasileira. Todavia, ao investigarmos sua trajetória através da análise de registros históricos e depoimentos pessoais coletados em campo, constatamos que o histórico de contato desse povo evidencia elementos que indicam forte ligação entre o seu universo mítico e de caráter sagrado e o modo como conduziram suas relações com os representantes da sociedade brasileira ao longo da história. De fato, a dinâmica histórica percorrida pela sociedade Manoki é marcada simultaneamente pelas forças de transformação e continuidade que movimentam essa coletividade dotada de uma especificidade cultural e identitária

Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil O receptor para manose receptor (RM) é uma glicoproteína transmembrana que é expressa em vários tipos celulares, mas, pouca ou nenhuma informação sobre RM existe em células de Schwann (CS). Mostramos que CS de rato em culturas primárias de células dissociadas ou em explantes de nervo bem como numa linhagem de Schwannoma humano (ST88-14) liga uma neoglicoproteína manosil/albumina de soro bovino- isotiocianate de fluoresceina (man/BSA-FITC) de uma maneira altamente específica. Após incubação com man/BSA-FITC, a análise por citometria de fluxo demonstra 62% de células ST88-14 e 90% de CS positivas, um aumento dose-dependente de ligantes marcads e inibição quase total pela competição com D-manose 250 mM ou com a proteína (altamente manosilada) peroxidase de raiz forte (HRP) ~ 1.1 µM. O tratamente de SC cultivadas com dexametasona (0.1 µg/ml) ou interferon ? (IFN-?? \2013 100 U/ml) seguido por marcação com man/BSA-FITC e a análise por citometria de fluxo mostra um acréscimo e um decréscimo, respectivamente, da captação do ligante. Explantes de nervo ciático cultivados na presence de IFN-?? mostram colocalização de man/BSA-FITC e imunoreatividade para MHC classe II. A análise ultra-estrutural de células ST88-14 após incubação com HRP- Au coloidal com ou sem subsequente seguimento a 37ºC mostra uma localização inicial na superfície e internalização do traçador dependente de temperatura e de tempo. Células ST88-14 e CS dissociadas bem como nervos recentemente \201Cesgarçados\201D mostram reatividade a um anticorpo policlonal contra o domínio C-terminal do RM de macrófagos murinos (anti-cMR). No caso de nervos \201Cesgarçados\201D, a imunorreatividade é particularmente abundante em regiões topograficamente homólogos a alças paranodais Além disto, a imuno-histoquímica ultra-estrutural de nervo ciático incluído em Lowicryl mostra reatividade ao anti-cMR, com máxima deposição do anticorpo secundário-Au em pericários de CS mielinizantes ou não-mielinizantes. Proteínas de extratos de SC e ST88-14, separadas por SDS-PAGE, e estudadas pela ligação das lectinas endógenas mostram que ambos os tipos celulares compartilham uma proteína ligadora de HRP de ~180 kDa com macrófagos peritoneais. Uma única banda de 180 kDa foi também obtida em \201Cimmunoblots\201D com anti-cMR. Nossos resultados sugerem que células de um Schwannoma e CS expressam uma proteína MR-semelhante em um estado potencialmente funcional e que ambos os tipos podem ser modelos úteis em estudos do papel deste receptor em diferentes estados infecciosos/inflamatórios ou na homeostase do sistema nervoso periférico The mannose receptor (MR) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed in several cell types but little or no information is available on Schwann cells (SC). We show that rodent SC in primary cultures of dissociated cells or explant nerve cultures and a human Schwannoma cell line (ST88-14) bind the exogenous MR ligand neoglycoprotein mannosyl/bovine serum albumin-fluorescein isothiocyanate (man/BSA-FITC) in a highly specific manner. After incubation with man/BSA-FITC, flow cytometry demonstrates 62% positive ST88-14 cells and 90% positive SC cells, a dose-dependent increase in tagged ligands and near total inhibition of binding by 250 mM D-mannose or ~ 1.1 μ M of the highly mannosylated protein horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Treatment of cultured SC with dexamethasone (0.1 μ g/ml) or interferon  (IFN-   – 100 U/ml) followed by tagging with man/BSA-FITC and analysis by flow cytometry shows an increase and a decrease, respectively, of the ligand uptake by the putative receptor. Sciatic nerve explants cultured in the presence of IFN-   show colocalization of man/BSA-FITC and MHC class II immunoreactivity. Ultrastructural analysis of ST88-14 cells after incubation with HRP-colloidal gold without or with subsequent chasing at 37ºC mostra localização inicial na superfície cellular e internalização ation on the cell surface and temperature- and time dependent internalization of the probe. ST88-14 cells and dissociated SC and recently teased nerves exhibit reactivity to a polyclonal antibody against the C-terminal domain of the mouse macrophage MR (anti-cMR). In the case of teased nerves, immunoreactivity was particularly abundant in regions topographically homologous to paranodal loops. Furthermore, ultrastructural immunohistochemistry of Lowicryl-embedded sciatic nerve from normal animals showed reactivity to anti-cMR with maximal deposition of Au-tagged secondary antibody in myelinating or non-myelinating SC somata. SDS-PAGE separated proteins studied by endogenous lectin binding of SC and ST88-14 extracts show that both share a unique HRP-binding protein of about 180 kDa with peritoneal macrophages. A single band of 180 kDa was also obtained in immunoblots with anti- cMR. Our results suggest that Schwannoma cells and SC in vitro and in situ express a MR-like protein in a prospectively functional state and that both types may be useful models for studies regarding the role of this receptor in different infectious/inflammatory states or in homeostasis of the peripheral nervous system

Abstract:

When performing an organizational change, it is important to be aware of the culture within the company. The organization at Saab Aerosystems has a huge technical focus, which can of course be beneficial when awakening interest for a change. Another characteristic of Saab Aerosystems is that its employees are interested in being involved in change processes and have the ability to influence such changes. It is therefore important that the leader of a proposed change has a good relationship with the employees and excellent communication skills in order to both inform and listen to them. It is also important to create a commitment to change if a change project is to be successful. Within Saab Aerosystems this commitment can be created by engaging informal leaders within the project team. These employees often have a big influence on the organization as well as good knowledge of the technology and their departments’ operations. It is also important to give the organization’s members time to think through and accept a change. Without this time, resistance towards a change project can otherwise be created due to lack of understanding for the change. To create commitment to a change, the employees must also feel that they can manage the change and the situation that comes after the change. It is therefore important that the organization’s employees receive the necessary tools and education in order to give them confidence and motivation to carry out, and be a part of, the change project.A difficult aspect during a change project can be to anchor the change within the organization. At Saab Aerosystems, changes can be anchored by involving representatives from upper management in change projects. These persons must in their turn request work that has been achieved according to the results of the change and even more importantly ensure that the change is used even upon completion of the change project. Making these demands can motivate the line managers and other employees to work according to the change and prevent reverting to old work methods and models. Finally, it is important to measure the change project progress. Examples of measure variables that can be used are business cases, questionnaires and lessons learned. These general variables ought to be complemented by specific variables for the actual change.

Abstract:

In February 1995, the Australian Federal Government Industry Task Force on Leadership and Management, released Enterprising nation: Renewing Australias managers to meet the challenges of the Asia-Pacific century, 1 (known as the Karpin Report). The Karpin Report defined 1995 - 2010 as a developmental period for improving Australian business practices at leader and manager level. It identified five levers for change. Australian businesses were encouraged to focus on globalisation. Life long learning was seen as a key ingredient in up skilling workers and managers for evolving work environments. Australia was advised to build an enterprise-focused culture. Managers and leaders were encouraged to value diversity in the workforce. Enterprises and education and training institutions were encouraged to implement best practice procedures. This study situated the Karpin recommendations in the literature on gender, leadership, management, and Australian social, economic and political conditions. Employing an interdisciplinary approach and using quantitative and qualitative methods, it sought the views of women in senior, middle and frontline or supervisory positions, in large, medium and small businesses. The study concluded that, in terms of creating diversity within institutionalised leadership, recruitment practices and social circumstances still encouraged the status quo. It found that refocusing Australian business and its leaders was unlikely to provide expanded opportunities for women in leading and managing. The skills women were acknowledged to have often aligned with skills sought for lower management positions. This has been one contributing factor in confining women to lower decision-making roles except in some education and community service environments. In these areas where women often form the majority of workers and reflect the cultures of their industries very successfully, more women occupy senior positions. The study found that womens skills were comprehensive and suited to roles carrying greater responsibilities. It also discovered that not all of the existing approaches to preparing women to lead and manage served women well; however, some effective strategies were in place. It concluded that for women to be appointed to positions of high responsibility, they should successfully reflect a recognisable management approach, congruent with the companys and industrys current style and values. This tended to perpetuate existing practices of competitive individualism and self-interest. Since the 1980s, managers have been disproportionately elevated in status, with accompanying high salaries and bonuses. There is a risk that leaders will be credited with more wisdom and vision than warranted. Australia leaders need to have a mix of vision and business acumen. While many women managers have this mix and are prepared to be leaders, they may not be appropriately connected to the senior recruitment market. As a subtext, complex levels of vested interests, ties of loyalty and forms of reciprocity often operate in the appointment of senior personnel. Women tend to operate outside these practices and may be reluctant to endorse them. This may partially account for the unchanged circumstances of a small number of women in top senior positions. The study concluded that the current level of refocusing of Australian businesses was resistant to change and limited in responding to expertise in the marketplace. The challenge of globalisation requires decision-makers with specific skills, knowledge and experiences. It requires people who will act with morality and preferred futures in mind rather than quick returns and advanced levels of self-interest. For organisations keen to identify these kinds of leaders then selection processes will need to differ in order to be highly attuned to recruiting individuals who can help build a responsive, innovative and caring society.
