Resumo: A Internet tem atraído cada vez mais a atenção de pesquisadores como um novo espaço social no qual são gestadas novas formas de comunicação e convivência. Os weblogs seriam então um dos mais recentes canais midiáticos no âmbito do ciberespaço. Diante disso, objetivou-se neste trabalho investigar os critérios de noticiabilidade e valores-notícia que orientam a instauração de um possível novo formato noticioso nos blogs verificando os gêneros ciberjornalísticos das notícias no âmbito de sua emergência enquanto uma mídia no webjornalismo. Propôs-se, portanto, por meio de um estudo exploratório relacionar os dados obtidos junto ao levantamento processual empírico nos três blogs estudados aos questionamentos que perpassam tal reflexão; se o jornalismo praticado nos blogs repete o mesmo padrão da grande mídia, ou se o potencial multimidático destes canais altera os valores-notícias ou provocam um novo agendamento de fato para além do ocorrido na chamada mídia de massa. Seria o novo em curso ou o velho maquiado pela presença de recursos de personalização multimidiática? Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa busca fornecer subsídios teórico-empíricos mais abrangentes sobre os blogs inseridos na discussão ampla da cultura midiática e esfera pública virtual, contribuindo para suprir a lacuna do conhecimento referente a esse novo fenômeno comunicacional
Abstract: Internet has been drawing the interest of researchers as a new social space where new manners of communication and sociability are being sustained. Therefore, weblogs are one of the newest media channels at the scope of cyberspace. Moreover then the objective of this paper is to search the noticiability criteria e "news-value" that guide the establishment of a possible new journalistic configuration on blogs, to verify the ciber journalistic genres of piece of news whereas they rise as a journalistic media in webjournalism. So the proposal is to relate, by means of an exploratory study, the information achieved in the empiric processual survey within the analyzed blogs about the contestations that pass by this consideration; if the journalism that is executed on blogs repeats the same standards of the world media or the multimedia potential of this channels changes the "news-value" or promotes a new agenda, in fact, beyond what happens at the so-called mass media. Would it be that the new one is in motion or the old one is disguised by multimedia personalization resources? For that, this research intents to present ample theoretic and empiric subventions about the blogs introduced at the wide media culture and the virtual public sphere, that contribute to compensate for the lack of studies about this new communication phenomenon

Full textAbstract:
What characterises contemporary democratic political struggles? According to the post-Marxist theory of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe, it is their sheer unknowability, the fact that there can be no certainties, no fixed grounding. Drawing a distinction between the 'certainties' of classical Marxism (i. e. base/superstructure) and the more 'diffuse' nature of modem democratic demands (such as sexual and gender equality, environmentalism and the peace movements), the emergence of a post-Marxist perspective has endeavoured to engage the widening imaginaries of present-day democratic politics. In this thesis the central post-Marxist category of radical democracy, defined literally as the 'multiplication of public spaces of antagonism, is interrogated in relation to new modes and ideas of contemporary political struggle, particularly those associated with the expansion of the ICTs and networks. Arguing for the need to consider politics beyond the somewhat outmoded and uninspiring description of the 'new social movements', this thesis critically investigates the emerging practices of politics and activism enabled by the technologies like the Internet, using the ideas of post-Marxism as a basis for generating new theories of radical democracy. Looking in particular at the practices of Tactical Media and Culture Jamming, together with new methods of interaction and consumption, such as peer-to-peer file sharing and open publishing on the Internet, this study demonstrates how radical democracy contains as yet unthoughtout critical potentials through which to examine the ICTs in relation to these nascent cultures of politics. These emerging political cultures, this thesis suggests, entail the articulation of other ways of conceiving democracy, the political and politics more appropriate to the increasingly networked nature of contemporary society.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the connection between attachment and self-disclosure behavior across communication technologies. Very little research has explored the connection between attachment and self-disclosure, and no studies have examined the relationship in the context of communication technologies. Drawing on attachment theory, self-disclosure literature, and communication technology research, this dissertation predicted that individuals with high anxious or high avoidance attachment would capitalize on the affordances of communication technologies and be associated with more self-disclosure behavior. Two studies were completed to test these hypotheses. Study one (n = 479) was a cross-sectional survey using participants recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Study two (n = 309) was an experiment where participants had their attachment system activated by experiencing a threatening situation hypothetically. Both studies had participants report self-disclosure behavior with their romantic partner in frequency and degree of intimacy. Each participant was randomly assigned one communication channel to report on (e.g., face-to-face, text messaging, email, or social networking sites). The results from the two studies provided mixed results for attachment and self-disclosure behavior across communication technologies. In general, anxious attachment was positively associated with self-disclosure frequency and degree of intimacy regardless of which channel was used, which was expected. Avoidance attachment was negatively associated with self-disclosure frequency, but only when the participant was experiencing a threatening situation. Neither attachment style interacted with the number of cues perceived to be available in a communication channel in the proposed direction when predicting self-disclosure behavior. However, both attachment dimensions interacted with a channel’s perceived expectation for response when predicting self-disclosure intimacy. When participants were not experiencing a threat to their security, those with high anxious or high avoidance attachment reported self-disclosing more intimately in channels perceived to have less expectation for response. Together these findings suggest individuals with high anxious attachment may use self-disclosure as a hyperactivating strategy to connect with an attachment figure. Individuals with high avoidance attachment choose not to self-disclose as a deactivating strategy that prevents intimacy from forming. Additionally, individuals with high anxious or high avoidance attachment can capitalize on a channel’s expectation for response and feel comfortable self-disclosing something intimate in a channel perceived to have a low expectation for response.

Full textAbstract:
Today's organizations face an economic climate that is globalizing, increasing customer demands for products and services that meet their unique needs and the fast pace of technological developments. Organizations require the effective use of new communication technologies as a means of sharing information and expanding capacity for innovation. The main question for this research is: When new communication technologies are introduced into organizations, how do they work together with existing cultural assumptions to produce an innovative, learning environment within the organization? The research design involves conducting moderately structured interviews with organizational leaders in four diverse organizations: Ingram Book Company, Service Merchandise Company, Inc., Life Way Christian Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Dollar General Corporation. Results include an introduction to each company, a report on their implemented new communication technologies and innovative learning environment, and a description of their core corporate culture.

Full textAbstract:
The doctoral dissertation deals with the impact of the use of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) on global environmental governance. The objective of the research is to analyze the influence of these technologies on the legitimacy of global governance tools and on the competences of global non-state actors –as part of global civil society– involved in processes of environmental politics. After defining the context in which new ICTs emerge, the thesis develops two case studies. The first one analyzes the resolution and recommendation process of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). It illustrates that the use of new ICT improves the participation and the creation of consensus around certain values, and shows therefore that the use of new ICTs has a positive impact on the legitimacy of this global governance mechanism. The second case study examines the use of new ICTs by IUCN and demonstrates that it has no substantial impact on the internal capacities of the organization. However, it has a positive yet limited impact on the external competences of IUCN, since it improves the organization’s capacity to communicate only with its traditional audience.La tesis doctoral trata el impacto de la generalización de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC) sobre la gobernanza global del medio ambiente. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar la influencia de estas nuevas tecnologías sobre la legitimidad de los mecanismos de gobernanza global y sobre las capacidades de los actores globales no estatales –como parte de la sociedad civil global– implicados en estos procesos de política medioambiental . Después de definir el contexto en el cual emergen las nuevas TIC, la tesis desarrolla dos casos de estudio. El primero de ellos analiza la evolución del proceso de resoluciones y recomendaciones de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN) y permite ilustrar que el uso de las nuevas TIC mejora la participación en este proceso y la creación de consenso en torno a determinados valores. Por ello, el uso de las nuevas TIC tiene un impacto positivo sobre la legitimidad de este mecanismo de gobernanza global. El segundo caso analiza el uso de las nuevas TIC por parte de la UICN y demuestra que no tiene un impacto sustancial sobre las capacidades internas de esta organización. Sin embargo, sí cabe reseñar un impacto positivo pero limitado sobre las competencias externas de la UICN, de modo que mejora la capacidad de la organización para comunicar tan sólo con su audiencia tradicional.

More high-tech firms are conducting their business over long distances due to the use of new information and communication technologies (ICT). However, regional scientists articulate that geographic proximity is still important, at least, to the high-tech industry and the knowledge-related business activities. My research offers a ground work for understanding the paradox - more dispersed high-tech business practices and higher geographic concentration of high-tech jobs in the new economy than before. Drawing from diverse regional and economic literatures, I suggest a paradox of new information communication technology regarding the location pattern of high knowledge-generating jobs. From this perspective, I found a dispersed concentration pattern of high knowledge-generating jobs due to less transitory tacit knowledge than codified knowledge and implicit communication; and business organization change. Both my longitudinal empirical analysis and interviews suggest that the jobs in the high knowledge-generating production industries in the United States became further concentrated during the 1990s.
(cont.) During the same period, the jobs in the high knowledge-generating customer-oriented industries dispersed. In the former industries, producers are the major knowledge generators, while in the latter industries, tacit knowledge is derived mostly from the interaction between firms and customers. In consequence, the jobs in the former industries tend to agglomerate with each other, but the jobs in the latter industries tend to disperse in order to be close to customers. Furthermore, five out of the six high-knowledge generating production industries show a "winner-takes-all" kind of spatial monopolization of jobs. For example, in the computer industry, the ratio of the job share of Silicon Valley, the top share holder, and the job share of the Boston metro area, the second highest job share holder, increased from 1.6 in 1990 to 2.9 in 2000. However, this finding fails to explain the phenomenon of R&D units of advanced multinational high-tech production firms locating in remote developing and middle-income countries.
(cont.) To answer this puzzle, I identify their actual activities and compare multinational and local R&D operations in Korea. Interviews reveal that they are closer to being customer-relations intensive units, although the R&D units of the multinational firms in Korea are labeled "R&D." They are conduits of outreach to local customers, which conduct (1) the flexible customization of their products to meet local customers' demands and (2) customer management and marketing in the highly competitive global market.

lt;p align="justify"gt; A utilização de novas tecnologias e o uso de computadores conectados à Internet estão presentes em todos os segmentos da sociedade. Esta presença tem transformado, irreversivelmente, a forma como as pessoas pensam, agem e se relacionam com as outras. Essas mudanças provêm da rapidez com que são disponibilizadas e processadas as informações. O comunicar parece interconectar e aproximar indivíduos, fazendo aflorar percepções e situações vividas no cotidiano, que podem interferir na prática escolar. Dessa forma, esse estudo envolveu adolescentes que têm acesso a esses novos equipamentos, os quais têm influenciado na maneira de se comunicar e informar dentro e fora da escola. Portanto, sua implicação, no contexto escolar, foi analisada nesta pesquisa, cujos sujeitos investigados foram alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola particular. O objetivo foi o de investigar a influência das novas tecnologias (computador e Internet) no cotidiano dos adolescentes e sua utilização no processo educacional. Foi utilizado, como instrumento de pesquisa, um questionário, aplicado aos adolescentes. Dentre as questões de estudo tivemos: a Internet e o computador são considerados ferramentas a serviço do conhecimento? Como é que vem sendo utilizada a Internet pelos adolescentes, e como a utilizam na educação? Após a análise dos dados, foi possível observar que: os adolescentes percebem a utilização do computador e da Internet como fonte de informação e sua utilidade como pesquisa. No que diz respeito à indagação da utilização do computador e da Internet como forma de aproximar ou afastar as pessoas do meio ambiente, os adolescentes, em maior percentual, enfatizaram que essas tecnologias afastam as pessoas do meio ambiente, pois o equipamento causa vício para aqueles que não têm um autocontrole de sua utilização, distanciando do meio ambiente natural. Finalizando, os adolescentes percebem as novas tecnologias como ferramenta a serviço do conhecimento.lt;/pgt;lt;p align="justify"gt; The use of new technologies and the use of connected computers to the Internet are present in all of the segments of the society.

Communicating seems to interconnect and to approximate individuals making to level perceptions and situations lived in day-to-day that can interfere in school practice. In that way, this study involved teenagers that have access to those new equipments which have been influencing in the way of communicating and informing inside and out of the school. Therefore, its implication, in the school context, it was analyzed in this research, whose investigated subjects were students of the Medium Teaching Level of a private school. The objective was to investigate the influence of the new technologies (computer and Internet) in the day-to-day of the teenagers and their use in the education process. It was used, as research instrument, a questionnaire, applied to the teenagers. Among the study subjects we had: are the Internet and the computer considered tools to service of the knowledge? How is it that the Internet has been used by the teenagers, and how do they use it in the education? After the data analysis, it was possible to observe that: the teenagers notice the use of the computer and the Internet as source of information and its usefulness as research. In what it concerns to the inquiry of the use of the computer and of the Internet as form of to approximate or to move away the people of the environment, the teenagers in larger percentage emphasized that those technologies move away the people of the environment, because the equipment causes addiction for those that don't have a self-control of its use distancing of the natural environment. Concluding, the teenagers notice the new technologies as tool to service of the knowledge.lt;/pgt;

Resumo: Apesar do pouco tempo de sua criação, a Internet se destaca como um meio de comunicação recente que trouxe implicações ao modo de se comunicar atual. Certamente, um meio que transmite informações em velocidade que beira a instantaneidade e que atinge ao mesmo tempo todo o planeta traz conseqüências particulares no que se refere ao jornalismo esportivo. Este trabalho buscou demonstrar como os sites brasileiros se estruturaram para realizar a cobertura jornalística durante as Olimpíadas 2004. Partindo de conceituações em torno do jornalismo esportivo e também do webjornalismo, foram selecionados dez produtos editoriais on-line com o propósito de compará-los. Verificamos que modificações os sites sofreram em suas páginas iniciais durante a realização dos Jogos e também identificamos quais e como destinaram páginas específicas ao evento. Neles, foram ainda estudadas as ocorrências das seis características propostas por Marcos Palácios (in MACHADO e PALÁCIOS, 2003, p. 17) conduzindo a uma comparação da estrutura adotada por cada página eletrônica que se destinou a cobrir especificamente as Olimpíadas 2004. Para este estudo, foram selecionados os websites: UOL, Terra, Gazeta Esportiva, Lancenet, O Estado de S. Paulo, Folha de S. Paulo, SPORTV, Globo.com, Bandeirantes, e ESPN Brasil.

This work investigated how the brazilian sites were structured to do on-line journalistic covering during the Olympic Games in 2004. From the beginning with conceptualizations all around sporting journalism and also webjournalism, we collected ten on-line publishing products with the purpose of comparing them. We verified which modifications occurred in their homepages during the Games and also we identified which sites dedicated specifics webpages to the event and how they did it. In them, we studied the occurrences of six characteristics proposed by Marcos Palacios (in MACHADO e PALACIOS, 2003, p. 17), which leaded to a comparison of structure followed as a bases by each webpage which dedicated to cover specifically the Olympic Games in 2004. To this work, we selected the websites: UOL, Terra, Globo.com, Bandeirantes, SPORTV, ESPN Brasil, Gazeta Esportiva, Lancenet, O Estado de S. Paulo e Folha de S. Paulo.

Full textAbstract:
This phenomenological study examined how dispersed social workers experience interactions through new communication technology as periods of social presence with their centralized coworkers and supervisors. Additionally, this study sought to understand how interaction via new communication technology facilitates increased organizational identification among dispersed social workers. The conceptual framework focused on social presence and organizational identification theories as well as dispersed work within the context of social work.
Eleven participants engaged in semistructured, open-ended interviews, and data were analyzed according to Moustakas' (1994) phenomenological analysis reduction method. As a result, five themes and several connected elements emerged. The five themes were social presence, increased organizational identification (OI), lowered OI, advantages of dispersed social work, and challenges to dispersed social work.
Based on the themes and textural and structural descriptions, there were five findings that answered the two overarching research questions: What is the dispersed social worker's experience of interaction through new communication technology as periods of social presence with his or her centralized coworkers and supervisors? What is the dispersed social worker's experience of interaction via new communication technology as the facilitation of organizational identification? Those findings were as follows:
1. Dispersed social workers do not experience interactions through new communication technology as periods of social presence with their centralized coworkers. 2. There are mixed experiences of interaction through new communication technology as periods of social presence with supervisors. 3. Interaction via new communication technology facilitated a varied sense of organizational identification based on the affective, communication, and cognitive components that encompass OI. 4. Dispersed social workers' affective and communicative OI is contingent upon the frequency and type of communication with coworkers (centralized and dispersed) and supervisor. 5. Lack of or negative interaction with centralized coworkers negatively impacted cognitive OI.
Based upon the findings, conclusions were drawn, and implications and recommendations for theory, research, and practice were discussed.

Resumo: O desenvolvimento técnico-científico das últimas décadas tem favorecido uma revolução na ciência cartográfica e na interação social com as múltiplas formas cartográficas. A utilização cada vez mais intensiva da informática pela Cartografia tem permitido a interação de formas cartográficas com diferentes recursos de multimídia, tais como textos, gráficos, sons, vídeos e animações, o que as tornam mais dinâmicas e interativas. Essas novas formas de representação e comunicação da informação espacial são consideradas como Cartografia Multimídia. A cartografia escolar, ou seja, aquela estudada, aprendida e produzida no âmbito da educação formal, tem tido que conviver com uma educação cartográfica multimidiática que é produzida e difundida fora dos muros da escola. Entendemos que uma leitura da Cartografia Multimídia a partir da Cartografia para criança e Escolares pode ressaltar aspectos mais humanísticos e ordenados dessas relações, como a ideia de que a linearidade e a hierarquização predominantes nos mapas impressos passam a acontecer sob múltiplas conexões e interpretações quando produzidas em redes fluídas (menos fixas) de representações espaciais. Assim, este trabalho se insere numa abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, que busca por meio de um referencial teórico-metodológico dos campos de conhecimento da Geografia, da Cartografia, bem como da Comunicação e da Educação, analisar em que aspectos a interatividade permitida pelos projetos de multimídia cartográfica pode favorecer diferentes leituras sobre o espaço representado por meio das formas cartográficas suportadas por mídia discreta ou disponíveis em rede.

Abstract: The technical-scientific development in recent years has favored a revolution both on cartography science and on social interaction with the emergence of multiple cartography features. The intensive use of informatics by Cartography has allowed an interaction of cartography forms with different multimedia resources, such as texts, graphics, sound, videos and animation that make them more dynamic and interactive. Those new ways of representation and communication of spatial information have been named Multimedia Cartography. School cartography, i.e. the one studied, learned and produced in the scope of regular education, has had to live along with a multimedia cartography education that is produced and spread out of the school walls. We understand that reading Multimedia Cartography from the Cartography for children and scholars can reveal more humanistic and ordered aspects of these relations, as for example, the idea that linearity and hierarchy that dominate printed maps happen under multiple connections and interpretations when produced in flowing networks (less fixed) of spatial representations. This way, our research has a qualitative approach working with a theoretical-methodological referential in Geography. It aims at analyzing in which aspects interactivity allowed by cartography multimedia projects can lead to other readings about the space that is represented by cartography forms supported by discrete available media. It is, therefore, a theoretical-conceptual research where there is no intention to modify the concepts once discussed into methodological proposals for school use. Firstly we introduce concepts such as media, multimedia, interactivity, hipertext, hipermedia, besides Multimedia Cartography, cartographic visualization, electronic atlas, hipermap, interactive map, animated map, these ones aligned to their ways of structure and distribution.

Resumo: Uma vez que a informação e os indivíduos perpassam todas as tarefas e processos organizacionais é possível direcionar estudos ao contexto organizacional, no que tange a compreender e identificar o modo como os indivíduos trabalham a informação. É relevante compreender como o indivíduo desenvolve certos comportamentos em relação à informação, o que implica em fazer uma análise desse ator organizacional sob um enfoque cognitivo, porquanto o comportamento informacional desencadeado por ele pode derivar de processos e representações presentes na mente do indivíduo. A presente pesquisa visou analisar, em uma empresa de fabricação de celulose, a relação entre o comportamento informacional dos indivíduos e as TICs, enfocando os aspectos cognitivos que desencadeiam tal comportamento, tais como os modelos mentais, com intuito de propor uma sistematização à gestão de comportamento informacional voltado às tecnologias de informação e comunicação aplicado aos ambientes empresariais. A pesquisa contou com um total de vinte participantes de distintos níveis organizacionais de uma empresa de fabricação de celulose localizada no interior do Estado de São Paulo. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram apoiados pelo método de Laurence Bardin, denominado 'Análise de Conteúdo', mais especificamente aplicando a técnica 'Análise Categorial'. Foram elaborados e utilizados como instrumento de coleta de dados, o questionário estruturado e a entrevista semi-estruturada. Os resultados obtidos propiciaram identificar as representações mentais que os indivíduos pesquisados possuem acerca do comportamento informacional, bem como compreender como a cultura organizacional/cultura informacional pode interferir nesse comportamento.

Full textAbstract:
An online survey exploring the patterns of adult text-message use was completed by 150 traditional college age young adults ages 18-24 and 171 adults ages 25-68. Because youth traditionally are among the first group to adopt new communication technologies, much research has been conducted among the adolescent and young adult population regarding the prevalence and importance of text-messaging; however, a research deficit exists regarding adult textmessage use. Data gathered from this survey were categorized and analyzed for emergent content regarding the use of text-messaging, what roll texting plays in adult's communication patterns, the sociological impact of text-messaging on survey respondents, and to examine the prevalence of this technology in adults' lives.

Resumo: A presente pesquisa foi realizada com o propósito de analisar e compreender um processo de formação continuada de professores visando promover a inserção da informática nas aulas de Química. Tal ação teve seu desenvolvimento pautado na racionalidade prática e na reflexão crítica sobre o trabalho docente, sendo mediada pela educação a distância. O estudo desenvolveu-se com um grupo de professores de Química de escolas públicas estaduais na região de Jaú (SP). Através de encontros presenciais e de interações em um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, buscou-se estabelecer um vínculo constante entre a realidade do professor e a formação continuada. Foram utilizados diferentes recursos metodológicos que possibilitaram aos docentes o contato com materiais diversificados, a análise de softwares, a elaboração material didático, bem como a atuação com seus alunos na sala de informática das escolas. Na organização dos dados foram trabalhados três eixos principais: formação e trabalho docente, ensino de Química e uso da informática. A investigação evidenciou elementos-chave para subsidiar propostas de formação continuada e envolveu reflexão e planejamento como meios para desencadear reformulações tanto na percepção dos professores em relação ao papel da informática nas aulas de Química como na utilização desse recurso em sala de aula.
Abstract: This research was conducted with a view to analyze and understand a process of teachers training in-service aiming to promote the insertion of Information and Communication Technologies in the classes of Chemistry. This action had its development based on practical rationality and critical reflection about teaching practice, being mediated by Distance Education. The study was developed with a group of Chemistry teachers in state public schools in the region of Jaú (SP). Through presence meetings and interactions in a virtual learning environment, it was aimed to establish a constant link between the teacher reality and the training in-service. Different methodological resources had been used so that the teachers could have contact with diverse materials, analyse educational software, elaborate learning material, as well as the work with their students in the computer lab of the schools. In the organization of the data three main axes were considered: training and teaching work, teaching of Chemistry and use of Information and Communication Technologies. The investigation revealed key elements to subsidize proposals of teachers training in-service and involved reflection and planning as a mens to trigger recasts in both the perception of teachers concerning to the role of Information and Communication Technologies in the classes of Chemistry as the use of this resource in the classroom.

The increasingly integrated presence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on university campuses in recent decades has prompted calls for a better understanding of how students use ICTs in higher education, including the transition to college. While research indicates that students with higher self-efficacy are more likely to persist in college, current research makes few connections between students’ self-efficacy with ICTs and persistence. Additionally, researchers in the area of student retention call for educators to understand how their students perceive the college’s cultural environment so as to help students fit in at an institution and persist. Exploration of ICTs as part of a student’s social, academic, and cultural experiences at the university offers educators and administrators the possibility of modifying the college’s cultural properties in response to student needs. This qualitative study investigated first-year college students and their use of technologies to address the following research question: How do first-year college students perceive their experiences using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the higher education environment? Employing interviews and a phenomenological approach, this study explored the experiences of 19 undergraduate students. Six faculty members or instructors were interviewed about their teaching experiences with first-year students and the extent to which ICTs were incorporated in those experiences in order to provide triangulation of data. Through the analysis of interview transcripts and open coding, three themes emerged regarding how students experience ICTs in higher education. Statements from students and faculty suggest that students experienced ICTs in higher education as: a process of academic integration; situations for which they held internal or external loci of control when using them for academic purposes; and tools to use when becoming socially integrated into the university. The findings of this study have the potential to assist university faculty, instructors, and other staff who are designing courses and services for first-year students. First, the study’s findings indicate that instructors need to be as explicit as possible with their expectations of student use of technology. When students are expected to demonstrate certain behaviors with ICTs those behaviors should be both supported and modeled by faculty and instructors. Secondly, when using ICTs for academic purposes, faculty can help students feel more responsible for their learning by providing them with opportunities to make decisions about how ICTs are used or to incorporate their own problem-solving or learning techniques with ICTs when completing coursework. Finally, faculty, instructors, and other staff should be aware that when first-year students are using ICTs socially, they are trying to create and maintain in-person relationships. Faculty, instructors, and other staff can guide first-year students to events and resources that will help them meet people and locate a social group in which they feel like they fit in.

Full textAbstract:
Tour operators and travel agents are threatened with disintermediation in the travel and tourism industry, especially as a consequence of altered customer demand and new information and communication technologies which foster direct bookings. In this thesis, however, it is argued that major European tour operators are reinventing their business activities to adapt to these changes and to secure their strategic position in the package holiday business. These tour operators are in particular developing and implementing new information and communication technology strategies to support both their production and distribution of holiday packages and, moreover, to enable them to automatically assemble and market individually tailored holidays. Data to support this argument was gained from an extensive empirical survey in Britain and Germany. A total of 44 tour operators were interviewed in Britain and Germany, which controlled over 65% of their respective national market shares. The interviewed tour operators also included ten of the top twelve European tour operator groups. Leading tour operator associations and charter airlines were interviewed in addition. This research provides a detailed insight into the tour operator sector, particularly in Britain and Germany, thus contributing to research in the travel and tourism industry. Moreover, a theoretical framework is developed and proposed, largely based on industrial organisation and new institutional economics literature. The application of this framework in this thesis for the study of the package holiday business contributes to travel and tourism research, and provides a useful methodology for the study of a sector or industry.

Resumo: O objeto de estudo desta pesquisa está definido no plano das mudanças cognitivas e emocionais, no processo de aquisição de conhecimento patrocinado pelas novas tecnologias e em como estas mudanças transformam os antigos paradigmas da Ciência da Informação. A hipótese levantada é de que a genética dos produtos de criação contemporânea seja influenciada e facilitada por novas formas de sensibilidade e percepção da informação proporcionadas pelas mídias pós-vanguardistas. A tese é que procedimentos usados para preparar criadores, ensinando as codificações imagéticas, possam ser estendidos pois as mídias invadem o processo cognitivo gerativo do conhecimento, determinam formas de percepção, metodologias e facilitam o acesso às informações como um todo atualmente. As interfaces tecnológicas interferem na conformação da informação e na sua percepção, disseminação, reprodução e interação sistemática hipertextualmente e intersemioticamente. A proposta de atualização dos procedimentos tem por base a atualização dos conceitos de ciência e arte contemporâneos tratados de acordo com os novos paradigmas da Ciência da Informação. Nestes, ciência e estética caminham juntas para criar ambientes de comunicação por auto-organização e por novos hábitos de auto-arquivamento controlados por pares e mentores em páginas-diários, cadernos de anotação de comunicação eletrônica levando a empoderamento via usos colaborativos.

Abstract: The object of study of this research is defined in terms of cognitive and emotional changes in the process of acquiring knowledge, supported by new technologies of information and communication (ICTs): how these changes transform the old paradigms of Information Science. The hypothesis is that the generation of products of contemporary creation is influenced and facilitated by new forms of perception and sensitivity offered by postvanguard media. The thesis is that procedures used to prepare professional designers in imagery can be extended, as far as the media invade the cognitive process of knowledge nowadays, determining means of perception, procedures and facilitating access to information as a whole. The technology interfaces interfere in shaping information and its perception, dissemination and reproduction in hypertextual and intersemiotical's systematic interactions. The proposed update of the concepts and procedures is based on the actualization of the concepts of science and contemporary art treated in accordance with new paradigms of Information Science. In these, science and aesthetics go together in order to create environments of communication conveyed by self-organization and new habits of selfarchiving. They are controlled by peers and mentors in daily pages, terms of annotation of electronic communication, leading to empowerment through collaborative practice. The thesis articulates a theoretical universe with application in laboratory practices. The theoretical basis is defined within the environment of the object of study -the information conveyed by the media as a post-vanguard dynamic chaotic subsystem permeated by other subsystems- such as semiotics, especially intersemiotics translations and hybridizations modeled by the media in post-vanguard. Concepts of remix and reproducibility are treated subsequently to the intersemiosis. It is also sought to identify... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Resumo: Trata-se de uma pesquisa com uma abordagem qualitativa, um estudo de caso, cujo objetivo foi analisar a constituição do trabalho da equipe de Matemática da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia - UFU - participante do Projeto RIVED (Rede Interativa Virtual de Educação), que foi um projeto governamental que visava promover e incentivar o uso da informática na educação por meio da produção de módulos educacionais na forma de Objetos de Aprendizagem - OA. O foco da pesquisa foi a configuração da equipe, sua produção e dificuldades para se atingir as metas propostas. Para a coleta de dados foram realizadas entrevistas com os alunos de graduação e com professores de Matemática da escola básica que atuaram no Projeto. Os resultados foram analisados a partir da aproximação dos dados da pesquisa com os objetivos presentes no edital do Projeto RIVED, gerando assim três eixos de discussão: o primeiro eixo "A produção dos objetos de aprendizagem" que se refere ao processo de implementação coletiva dos objetos e a aprendizagem dos participantes; o segundo eixo intitulado "Trajetória da equipe" onde se discute o trabalho coletivo, a capacitação, a interação entre os participantes e a divisão do trabalho e do tempo; o terceiro e último eixo "Disseminação" refere-se a disseminação dos OA nas escolas de Uberlândia e na Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. A discussão é feita a partir da perspectiva teórica da produção de softwares educacionais, da produção de design, da aprendizagem dos participantes apoiada no construcionismo, do trabalho coletivo e da disseminação dos objetos. Os resultados permitem afirmar que a contribuição do Projeto foi além da produção de materiais pedagógicos, pois incentivaram os participantes ao trabalho colaborativo, à pesquisa e à extensão

Full textAbstract:
Despite the growing importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs), their use in the field of program evaluation has been, to date, understudied. Using a mixed-method approach and a conceptual framework informed by social interdependence theory, this thesis sought to contribute to this area of research by exploring how evaluation practitioners engage with ICTs, and if and how this influences evaluation use. The comprised two parts are in a cascade design: a qualitative study relied on interviews with practitioners, followed by a quantitative study utilizing a survey instrument to obtain findings from a larger cohort of practitioner respondents. The findings from both studies revealed that ICTs’ value is greater for the use of evaluative results (findings use) than for benefits arising from evaluation processes (process use), and that these tools support evaluation activities by aiding background and foreground processes. When used in the background, ICTs can help evaluators by offering flexibility, improving speed, and efficiency. In contrast, ICTs used for foreground processes help foster communication with and engagement of stakeholders. Together, this makes the use of ICTs a valuable extension to existing evaluator skillsets, especially when the tools are mindfully incorporated to fit a project’s contextual complexity. The findings also point to a number of barriers – at both the individual and organizational levels - that inhibit further integration of technology into evaluation practice. A conceptual framework developed as a result of the findings visually depicts this process, and it represents a significant contribution of the thesis. Given the growing proliferation of ICTs in all aspects of life, further insight through systematic inquiry is much needed to keep abreast of these rapidly changing trends. The provision of such has implications not only for evaluation practitioners, client organizations and professional evaluation associations, but for the ongoing development of empirical inquiry in the area.

La littérature de l’IDE à la recherche d’actifs ignore le rôle des utilisateurs à l’avantgardedu marché («lead users»). La thèse, à travers deux modèles de théorie des jeux,montre l’impact des «lead users» sur l’arbitrage entre l’IDE et l’exportation. Touteschoses égales par ailleurs, selon le 1er modèle, l’IDE est plus profitable dans uneinnovation poussée par l’offre, pour apprendre sur les besoins avancés des «lead users»,mais plus élevé est le risque de spécification erronée du produit par rapport aux besoinslocaux. La probabilité de spécification erronée augmente avec la radicalité de latechnologie et la différence entre l’environnement d’usage des deux pays. Selon le 2èmemodèle, le «lead user» révélant son innovation attire l’IDE en augmentant laconnaissance tacite incorporée dans l’innovation. Pour pousser l’investisseur àdévelopper l’innovation, le «lead user» maximise la généralité de l’innovation et sacomposante tacite. Si la multinationale a un niveau élevé d’actifs spécifiques, unarrangement l’avantagera par rapport à ses concurrents potentiels. Pour un équilibre dePareto, l’investisseur maximise l’amélioration qu’il apporte à l’innovation et privilégiele «lead user» par rapport aux autres utilisateurs. En Egypte, des obstacles interviennententre la volonté d’adopter la technologie de l’information et de la communication (TIC)et son adoption effective. Des filiales intégrées dans les réseaux d’innovation locauxcontribuent à la réduction de la fracture numérique liée à l’usage. Les entretiens avec lesresponsables du gouvernement électronique montrent que le gouvernement voulantdiffuser les TICs peut devenir un «lead user» innovateurLiterature on asset seeking foreign direct investment (FDI) ignores the role of the hostcountry’s lead users. The thesis through two game theoretic models shows the impact oflead users on FDI decision versus exports. All other things equal, the 1st model proposesthat, FDI is more profitable in a technology push innovation, in order to learn about leadusers’ advanced needs, the higher the risk of product misspecification relative to localneeds. The probability of misspecification increases in the radicalness of the technologyand in the difference in the use environment between the two countries. The 2nd modelstudies the impact of lead users’ innovation. All other things equal, lead users whoreveal their innovation attract FDI, the higher the tacit knowledge incorporated in theirinnovation. To push the foreign investor to develop their innovation, lead users shallmaximize its generality and its tacit component. If the multinational has high firmspecificassets, then an arrangement to privilege the foreign investor relative to hispotential competitors would arise. To have a Pareto optimum equilibrium, the foreigninvestor shall maximize the improvements he brings to lead users’ innovation and shallprivilege lead users relative to other users. The thesis observes Egyptian informationand communication technology sector (ICT). There are obstacles interfering betweenthe adoption decision and actual adoption.

Resumo: O presente trabalho é fruto de uma investigação de mestrado vinculada à linha de pesquisa Práticas e Processos Formativos em Educação. Os índices de analfabetismo no Brasil ainda são altos e as estatísticas demonstram que muitos alunos não estão aprendendo a ler e escrever e, consequentemente, obter condições de viver conscientemente no mundo letrado. Por outro lado, as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) são cada vez mais utilizadas nos sistemas de ensino, como recursos pedagógicos que podem contribuir com o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, se utilizados com objetivos coerentes. O computador possui recursos que despertam o interesse, como as multimídias, programas que articulam jogos, informações educativas e oportunidades de uso que possibilitam uma forma diferente de acesso às informações e à construção do conhecimento. Diante disso, o objetivo norteador desta pesquisa investigou o uso do computador e seus recursos no processo de alfabetização por meio da formação de professores alfabetizadores. Recorreu-se, como aporte teórico, a estudos sobre alfabetização e letramento, processos de aquisição da língua escrita e formação de professores alfabetizadores, assim como a teorias sobre Informática Aplicada à Educação.

Abstract: This work result of a Master investigation linked to the line of research Practices and Training Processes in Education. Illiteracy rates in Brazil are still high and statistics show that many students are not learning to read and write and, therefore, they are not able to live consciously in the literate world. On the other hand, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are becoming more and more used in the education system, such as teaching resources that can improve the teaching and learning process, if used with consistent goals. The computer has resources which are attractive, such as multimedia, programs that combine games, educational information and opportunities of use that enable a different form of access information and knowledge building. Thus, the guiding objective of this research was to investigate the use of computers and their resources in the process of literacy through the training of literacy teachers. Studies on literacy, acquisition processes of written language and training of literacy teachers as well as theories of Informatics Applied to Education were used as theoretical base of this research. For this purpose, we developed a qualitative research, the kind action-research with intervention in one class room, with twenty-eight students, one teacher of literacy and one teacher of Informatic. Initially, there were observations of lessons in the Informatic class to diagnose the context and the approach of the teacher in front of computer use. With the diagnosis obtained, the intervention was made through a continuous training of teachers in a differentiated teaching practice, mediated by computer resources. This practice consisted in the presentation of resources, manipulation of these by the teachers ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Resumo: Neste trabalho investigo como se dá a produção matemática de alunos-professores em um curso de extensão universitária à distância sobre "Tendências em Educação Matemática". As interações entre os participantes aconteceram, em geral, por meio de encontros semanais síncronos e a distância, nos quais eram discutidas questões relacionadas a algumas das tendências em Educação Matemática e sobre o desenvolvimento de atividades de geometria euclidiana espacial, sendo que este último tema consiste no foco de estudo desta pesquisa. Para as construções geométricas sugeri o uso do software gratuito Wingeom, contudo, outros recursos como materiais manipulativos, bem como diferentes estratégias de resolução foram observadas. Essa dinâmica evidenciou a coordenação de diferentes mídias durante o processo investigativo, que exigiu dos participantes grande envolvimento e empatia para melhor compreender a explicação apresentada durante a discussão no chat. A sala de batepapo do TelEduc, ambiente utilizado, apresentou algumas limitações com relação à troca do fazer matemática, contudo, isso não impediu que a discussão acontecesse e que a produção matemática se consolidasse de um modo muito particular. Analisei os dados baseando-me no construto teórico seres-humanos-com-mídias de Borba e Villarreal (2005) e nas idéias de Lévy (1993, 1999, 2003) no que se refere ao pensamento coletivo e à inteligência coletiva. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que as mídias (lápis e papel, materiais manipulativos, Wingeom, Internet e suas diferentes interfaces) em um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, condicionaram a forma que os participantes discutiram as conjecturas formuladas durante as construções geométricas e transformaram a produção matemática.
Abstract: In this study, I investigate how teacher-students produce mathematics in a university extension distance course entitled Trends in Mathematics Education. The interactions between participants generally occurred in weekly synchronous on-line sessions in which issues were discussed related to some of the current trends in mathematics as well as development of spatial Euclidean geometry, the latter being the focus of this study. I suggested the use of the free software Wingeom for the geometrical constructions, but other resources, such as manipulatives, as well as different strategies for problem solving were observed. This dynamic showed evidence of the coordination of different media during the inquiry process, which demanded considerable involvement and empathy on the part of the participants to better understand the explanation presented during the on-line chat discussions. The chat room of TelEuc, the environment used, presented some limitations with respect to the exchange of mathematical activity; nevertheless, this did not impede the discussion nor prevent the mathematical production from consolidating in a very specific way. I based the data analysis on Borba and Villarreals (2005) theoretical construct humans-with-media and the ideas of Lévy (1993, 1999, 2003) regarding collective thinking and collective intelligence. The results suggest that the different media (paper-and-pencil, manipulatives, Wingeom, and the Internet with its various interfaces) in a virtual learning environment conditioned the way the participants discussed the conjectures formulated during the geometric constructions and transformed the production of mathematics.

Full textAbstract:
New information and communication technologies have excited considerable
popular and expert attention over the last decades of the twentieth century.
Predictions about their social effects range along a continuum from visions of
heaven; where people slip the surly bonds of time and space, to glimpses of hell;
where such slippage enables new manifestations of dominance and control. Along
the continuum there is a basic determinist premise evident, that the technologies
have developed in a marginal sphere, and will now bring a new way of life, or at
least provide materials for a new way of life, whether this be for good or evil. The
notion of cyberspace as a new communicative domain has in particular engaged
this kind of attention.
This thesis is concerned with the ways in which the rhetoric of cyberspace sheds
light on deeper social preoccupations and relations. It is an attempt to move
beyond discussion of particular technologies and their possible effects to examine
the ways in which habitual social intercourse is reconstructed in and around
cyberspace. As a feminist scholar of communication I am particularly interested
in the ways in which existing gender relations are maintained in discursive
constructions of women in cyberspace, and the ways in which feminist theorists
may respond to the new domain.
Because I seek to elude simple determinism, I have sought to contextualise the
space by some focus on the known social needs, purposes and practices to which
the development of cyberspace technologies has been central. Although I
acknowledge the power of discourse to maintain extant social relations, I seek to
elude discursive determinism by some focus on the ways in which women have
creatively appropriated new technologies; on the disjunctions of discourse and
practice.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Leigh PatelDigital literacies have become central in today's society, used in various personal and public incarnations (Coiro, Knobel, Lankshear, & Leu, 2008), occupying prominent space in social and professional worlds (boyd, 2014; Leu et al., 2011). Despite digital literacies' centrality in society, schools have a notoriously difficult time integrating these into curriculum and instruction (O'Brien & Scharber, 2008). Accordingly, I asked: How do teachers in a large, public comprehensive secondary school navigate the challenges and benefits of digital literacies within the structure of Washington High, the curriculum, and their pedagogy? Using a case study design both ethnographic and collaborative in nature, I examined teachers' beliefs and practices to investigate how digital literacies were being used in the classroom, as well as why. Data included a school-wide survey, participant interviews and observations with six teachers, and informal meetings with school staff, most notably the vice-principal. Data was analyzed through the lens of theories of literacy curricular design (New London Group, 1996) and an eye toward New Literacies (Lankshear & Knobel, 2006). Notable results include the finding that technology at Washington often plays out in fairly traditional, teacher-directed, "wine in new bottles" (Lankshear & Knobel, 2006, p. 55) sorts of ways. However, this study also concludes that why this is so moves far beyond these teachers' individual beliefs and practices. Their contexts (unreliable technology, control of uses imposed by the administration), their cultures (narratives of adolescents needing protection from themselves and others), and compulsory schooling itself (traditional conceptions of time and space, narrow definitions of success, high-stakes testing and teacher evaluations) all play dynamic and complicated parts in how digital literacies get taken up, along with teachers' own beliefs and practices. As such, I draw upon theories of complex personhood (Gordon, 1997) and complexity thinking (Davis & Sumara, 2008) in positing ways digital literacies may be utilized in relationship to schools. Implications address these practices' collaborative, creative potentials to transform schools

Resumo: A presente pesquisa investiga e analisa o fluxo de informação entre o Banco do Brasil (agência Vivendas da cidade de Campo Grande, estado de Mato Grosso do Sul) e seus clientes pessoa jurídica, a fim de identificar o alinhamento estratégico entre a gestão de negócio e as tecnologias de informação (TIs), através da utilização do aplicativo Gerenciador Financeiro (GEFIN). As questões focos deste estudo consistem em analisar se: O setor bancário, que aplica o conceito de planejamento estratégico de forma efetiva, utiliza de maneira articulada as TIs com a estratégia de negócio? De que forma os sujeitos usuários dessas tecnologias utilizam a informação para obter maior efetividade aos seus planos de negócio? Nesse sentido, como visão de processo de investigação científica adotou-se a estratégia qualitativa. O método de pesquisa para atingir os objetivos propostos foi o estudo de caso. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados aplicaram-se um questionário junto aos clientes PJ que utilizam o aplicativo GEFIN e uma entrevista aos membros da carteira PJ (Posto Efetivo, Assistente de Negócio e Gerente de Contas). A idéia central foi comparar de forma clara e precisa essas, a fim de constatar se realmente a ferramenta tecnológica GEFIN possibilita de forma harmoniosa o diálogo entre esses clientes e Banco do Brasil. Os resultados da pesquisa possibilitaram visualizar que é imperativo ao Banco do Brasil, que compõe um setor extremamente competitivo e dinâmico, buscar não somente em sua plataforma tecnológica, mas também em outras ferramentas organizacionais, como a gestão estratégica da informação, o planejamento estratégico de negócios deve estar alinhada às tecnologias de informação e às melhores práticas em inteligência competitiva organizacional, buscando assim novas maneiras de pensar a gestão estratégica de negócio de uma maneira mais ampla.
Abstract: This study investigates and analyzes the flow of information between the Bank of Brazil (Agency Houses of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul) and their corporate clients to identify strategic alignment between business management and information technology (IT), using the Application Manager service (GEFIN). The issues focus of this study are to examine whether: The banking sector, which employs the concept of strategic planning effectively, using a comprehensive approach to IT with the business strategy? How the subjects users of these technologies use the information to obtain greater efficiency to their business plans? Accordingly, my view of the research process we adopted the strategy on quality. The research method to achieve the proposed objectives was the case study. As instruments of data collection were applied a questionnaire to the customers who use the PJ GEFIN application and interview members of the portfolio PJ (Actual Position, Assistant Business Manager and Accounts). The central idea was to compare and clearly need these to see if indeed the technological tool allows GEFIN smoothly dialogue between the customer and the Bank of Brazil. The survey results made it possible to see that it is imperative to the Bank of Brazil, which make up a sector highly competitive and dynamic, seeking not only in its technology platform, but also in other organizational tools such as strategic information management, strategic planning business should be aligned to information technologies and best practices in competitive intelligence organization, guided by new ways of thinking about strategic management of business more broadly.

Full textAbstract:
L'arrivée d'Internet dans le quotidien de la population des pays industrialisés comme le Canada et la France a eu des effets sur les stratégies de communication externe adoptées par les gestionnaires d'organisations. Plus récemment, grâce au Web 2.0, c'est le Web social qui fait son apparition et qui transforme les façons de communiquer. Les destinations touristiques et plus précisément les organisations de gestion de la destination qui les gèrent et qui en font la promotion sont touchées par ces changements. Cette thèse a comme objectif de répondre à la question de la problématique de départ : comment les organisations de gestion de la destination s'adaptent-elles à ce nouvel environnement communicationnel?Dans cette thèse, la communication externe des organisations de gestion de la destination est explorée à travers le prisme de théories et de modèles de la communication. Le sujet a été étudié dans son contexte, où les médias traditionnels sont bouleversés autant par Internet que par de nouveaux outils disponibles grâce aux nouvelles technologies de l'information et de la communication. C'est à l'aide d'observations provenant de l'étude d'un cas, celui de Tourisme Montréal, une organisation privée à but non lucratif qui regroupe quelques 750 membres (hôtels, restaurants, attraits touristiques, etc.) que des hypothèses posées en lien avec la problématique de départ ont été vérifiées.Le travail de recherche est divisé en deux grandes parties. La première partie établit les bases de référence pour la construction de la thèse. La seconde partie est dédiée à l'étude d'un cas qui permet de comparer les connaissances théoriques à celles provenant de la réalité d'une organisation de gestion de la destination. La méthodologie de recherche pour l'étude de cas inclut une collecte de données issues de différentes sources, dont l'entretien compréhensif, l'observation et l'analyse de documentsThe arrival of Internet in the daily life of people in industrialised countries like Canada and France has affected organizations' external communication strategies. More recently, the emergence of social media brought forward by Web 2.0 is transforming how people and organizations are communicating. Tourism destinations and more specifically destination management organizations that manage and promote them are affected by these changes. The objective of this thesis is to answer the initial research question: How are destination management organizations adapting to this new communication environment?In this thesis, the external and promotional communication of destination management organizations is studied through the prism of communication models and theories. The subject has been observed in its context where traditional media is challenged by new tools available with new communication and information technology. The case of Tourisme Montréal, a non-profit private organization counting some 750 members (hotels, restaurants, attractions, etc. ) was analysed and the observations participate in the verification of the initial questioning.The work is divided into two major parts. The first part establishes the reference basis for the construction of the thesis. The second part is dedicated to the study of our chosen case, Tourisme Montréal. It compares theory knowledge to the reality of destination management organizations. The methodology used in our research includes data collection from different sources including interviews, observation and the analysis of various types of documents

Resumo: Governança corporativa pode ser entendida como o conjunto de mecanismos de gestão, que através de controles internos e externos visam reduzir a distância entre acionistas minoritários e o poder de controle da empresa. O tema possui relevância pela crescente idéia de que as práticas de governança afetam o desempenho das empresas em seus negócios em bolsas de valores. Tal resultado ocorre devido a adoção de práticas que levam especialmente em consideração a gestão estratégica da informação interna e externa, visto que o estabelecimento da boa comunicação, rápida e clara, a fim de estabelecer um clima de confiança na relação da empresa com a sociedade, os credores, os colaboradores e, especialmente, com os investidores. No Brasil, o modelo criado pela Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo chamado de 'Novo Mercado', traz em seu escopo regras de conduta adicionais às exigidas pela legislação brasileira e possui como base a equidade no tratamento entre partes, a transparência na divulgação de informações e responsabilidade na prestação de contas. Esta pesquisa apresenta uma investigação acerca dos modelos praticados relacionados à gestão da informação e prestação de contas baseados em critérios legais, além dos padrões adicionais de divulgação de informações. A pesquisa avaliou os mecanismos de governança, bem como de que maneira a gestão estratégica da informação é capaz de exercer influência sobre o relacionamento entre o poder de controle e os acionistas minoritários.

Abstract: Corporate governance can be understood as a set of management mechanisms aim to reduce the distance between minority stakeholders and the power control of the company through internal and external controls. The theme has relevance by the growing idea that governance practices affect the performance of the companies at their business on stock exchange. Such result occurs due the adoption of practices that lead especially in consideration the strategic management of information internally and externally. It happens because the good communication, quick and clear, establishes a confidence climate on the relation of the company with society, creditors, collaborators and especially with investors. In Brazil the model created by the Sao Paulo stock exchange called New Market brings in its scope additional conduct rules to the existents on the Brazilian legislation and it possess as base the equity on the relationship between the parts, the transparence on information disclosure and the responsibility of accountability. This research presents a inquiry about the practiced models related to information management and accountability based on legal criteria besides to additional standards of information disclosure. It evaluated the governance mechanisms and how the strategic management of information is able to influence on the relationship between power control and minority stakeholders. Therefore it was analyzed the accountability elements, information disclosure and information access through a survey of companies that compose the New Market. It was possible to find evidences confirming the existence of effective benefits proportionate by corporate governance but also it was observed some gaps in the corporate governance established by New Market

Full textAbstract:
L’objet de cette thèse est de s’interroger sur l’accès des jeunes syriens aux nouvelles techniques d’information et de communication et sur les usages qu’ils en ont. Après avoir présenté la Syrie dans ses aspects démographiques, économiques, politiques et culturels et avoir souligné le retard du pays en matière d’accès aux NTIC, le texte aborde les grandes orientations de la sociologie des médias et de la communication et s’efforce de situer le débat entre déterminisme technologique et déterminisme socio-économique en l’inscrivant dans le cadre des efforts d’explication des révoltes arabes des années 2010 et 2011. Après avoir présenté les différentes thèses qui se sont affrontées à ce sujet en particulier à propos du rôle des réseaux socio-numériques simples accélérateurs de la circulation des informations pour les uns ou véritables instruments de la révolte pour les autres, le texte aborde la situation des NTIC en Syrie et l’usage qu’en font les jeunes d’abord à partir des informations quantitatives existantes puis à partir d’une enquête sur un échantillon de jeunes syriens contactés par internet. La thèse analyse leur mode d’accès à internet et aux réseaux sociaux et les usages qu’ils en font ainsi que du téléphone mobile en comparaison avec les médias classiques qu’ils délaissent de plus en plus. Après avoir mis en lumière les difficultés d’accès à internet, le sous équipement du pays en matière d’informatique et de connexion ainsi que les fractures qui existent entre les générations, les sexes et les différentes aires géographiques, la thèse conclue que ce qui attire les jeunes vers les réseaux socio-numériques comme source d’information est lié au discrédit et à la méfiance vis-à-vis des médias classiques contrôlés par le régime ou idéologisés par diverses puissances régionales. Mais dans le contexte de guerre que connaît le pays, les informations circulant sur les réseaux sont de plus en plus idéologisés, reflétant les fractures confessionnelles et ethniques de la société syrienne. Les jeunes en font donc un usage avant tourné vers le divertissement pour oublier la tragique réalité quotidienneThis thesis will describe and analyze how young Syrian people could use the new techniques of information and communication. Firstly it describes the main characteristic of Syria on demographic economic political and cultural points of view. It underlines how the country has lately discovered the new technologies of communication in comparison with other Arabic countries. Then it presents the evolution of the sociology of mass media and communication and the main trends concerning the explication of the role of the web as a factor provoking the Arabic revolutions in 2010 and 2011. The text analyzes after the situation of the NTIC in Syria using quantitative information coming from different national and international reports. Then it presents the results of an inquiry organized through the web concerning a hundred or young Syrians who have answered to a large panel of opened or closed questions about the way they can use computers, web navigation and cellular phones. It underlines the differences between the generations, the genders and the different areas rural or urban concerning the use of the NTIC. The interest young people show for these techniques as a source of information is linked to the defiance concerning official media narrowly controlled by the regime. However, social networks in the context of the Syrian civil war trend to reinforce the religious and ethnic conflicts and young people use them essentially for leisure to forget the violence

Resumo: A presente pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, teve por objetivo observar nas relações que graduandos e professores estabelecem com as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs), suas crenças em relação ao uso das TICs durante o processo de formação de professores de língua estrangeira. Para tanto, buscamos no curso de Letras a disciplina Laboratório de Línguas como ambiente para levantamento das crenças dos graduandos e da professora em relação ao discurso e ao uso das TICs. Buscou-se, também, propiciar à professora e aos alunos participantes atividades práticas com propósito de observar possíveis mudanças das crenças dos envolvidos em relação ao discurso e ao uso das TICs. Assim, adotamos uma abordagem contextual (Barcelos, 2001) para o estudo das crenças e, para tal, o contexto histórico, político, ideológico, cultural e social dos envolvidos. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante a disciplina Laboratório de Línguas ministradas no curso de Letras durante dois semestres de trinta e seis horas aulas cada. Os participantes desta pesquisa foram 16 alunos da disciplina e a professora que ministrou as aulas. Como instrumento para coleta de dados recorrermos à aplicação de questionários, autobiografias, entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizada com os alunos e com a professora todas gravadas em áudio, observação de aulas, sessão de visionamento, diário do pesquisador, gravação de aulas em vídeo e áudio. Os dados revelam que os graduandos e a professora possuem crenças em comum relação à disciplina Laboratório de Línguas, pois ora reconhecem a importância das TICs numa sociedade altamente tecnológica, ora apresentam contradições entre discurso e prática em relação e ao uso das TICs. No entanto, é possível notar mudanças positivas nos discurso que apontam mudanças nas relações dos graduandos e da professora frente às TICs
Abstract: The present research by qualitative nature had the aim to observe the relations of the pupils and professors establish with the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), their beliefs regarding to the use of ICTs during the graduation process as a Foreign Language Teachers. Therefore, we searched in the Language Degree course the Language Laboratory discipline as environment to raising the pupils and professor beliefs in relation to the speech and use of ICTs. We searched as well, provide to the professor and pupils practice activities with the purpose to observe possible changes in the students‟ beliefs regarding to the speech and use of ICTs. Thus, we adopted a contextual approach (Barcelos, 2001) to the study of beliefs and the historical, political, ideological, cultural and social context of the students. The data were collected during the Language Laboratory disciplines taught in the Language Degree course during two semesters of thirty six hours each. The participants of this research were sixteen students of this discipline and the teacher that taught them. The data were collected through questionnaires, autobiography, semi-structured interviews realized with the pupils and professor all recorded in audio, observation in class, viewing sessions, researcher diary, and audiovisual classes recordings. Data reveals that the pupils and professor have their own beliefs in common relation to the Language Laboratory discipline; therefore they know the importance of ICTs in a highly technological society, and however they present contradictions between speech and practice in relation and use of ICTs. Nevertheless, it is possible to notice positive changes in the speech that points to changes in the student and professor‟s relation front ICTs

Resumo: A sociedade atual tem presenciado uma mudança de cultura na utilização das informações, advinda principalmente da invenção dos computadores e do surgimento da Internet. Nesse contexto, surge um grande desafio a ser enfrentado, que é a preservação das informações digitais, principalmente em função das ininterruptas mudanças e avanços das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) e do ambiente no qual essas informações estão inseridas, e, com ele, uma nova área de pesquisa, a preservação digital, com sua pauta própria de problemas, como a obsolescência tecnológica dos equipamentos (hardware), dos programas de computador (software), dos suportes e dos formatos de armazenamento. Além dos problemas técnicos, a preservação digital envolve também aspectos culturais, legais e administrativos. Apesar de as discussões sobre a preservação digital serem uma preocupação crescente no contexto atual, esta pesquisa justifica-se por se observar, na literatura, a necessidade de um aprofundamento das questões relativas ao tema, uma vez que existem ainda poucas iniciativas nacionais e uma carência de modelos de gestão para preservação digital que abordem todos os aspectos a ela relacionados. Como a aplicabilidade da preservação digital é extensa, adotaram-se as instituições de ensino superior (IES) como universo desta pesquisa, devido à explosão documentária em meio digital que tem sido observada nessas instituições, em razão principalmente do grande crescimento das atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo propor um modelo processual de gestão para preservação da informação digital em uma IES, por meio de um aprofundamento dos estudos sobre todos os aspectos envolvidos na preservação digital e dos principais modelos de gestão da informação, que atenda e possa ser adequado a qualquer tipo de IES...

Abstract: Society has witnessed a cultural change in the use of information due to new technologies, mainly to computers and Internet. In this context, preservation of digital information emerges as a great challenge to be faced by information professionals, mainly derived from the constant enhancements and changes in information and communication technology (ICT), and in the environments in which information is inserted. Along with this new challenge, a new research area has been initiated, that of digital preservation whose agenda includes problems such as obsolescence of technological equipment (hardware), of computer programs (software), of information supports and of storage formats. Besides technological problems, digital preservation involves cultural, legal and managerial aspects. Although the concerns of the Information Area on the theme have been increasing, there is a need in literature to offer a sound theoretical discussion on issues related to it, and this is the proposal which may turn this research relevant. From the infinite universe of digital preservation applicability, the environment chosen for this research was that of Higher Education Institutions (HEI), where there has been an explosion of documents in digital form produced by teaching-learning activities in graduation and post graduation programs, research projects and community services. The aim of this investigation is to propose a processual management model for digital information preservation in HEI, by means of sound theoretical research on all the aspects involved in the preservation process and on the main information management models. The model should account for any type of HEI, any type of digital document, any type of academic information, and organizational culture should guide all processes. To achieve this goal, the exploratory methodology is adopted in order to be able to obtain a full understanding... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes a method to reconstruct a frontal facial video basedon encoding done with the facial profile of another video sequence.The reconstructed facial video will have the similar facial expressionchanges as the changes in the profile video. First, the profiles for boththe reference video and for the test video are captured by edge detection.Then, asymmetrical principal component analysis is used to model thecorrespondence between the profile and the frontal face. This allows en-coding from a profile and decoding of the frontal face of another video.Another solution is to use dynamic time warping to match the profilesand select the best matching corresponding frontal face frame for re-construction. With this method, we can reconstructed the test frontalvideo to make it have the similar changing in facial expressions as thereference video. To improve the quality of the result video, Local Lin-ear Embedding is used to give the result video a smoother transitionbetween frames.
