Space Mission Architecture Trade off Based on Stakeholder Value

Abstract. One the most difficult aspects of system conceptualization process is to recognize, understand and manage the trade-offs in a way that maximizes the success of the product. This is particularly important for space projects. In this way, a major part of the system engineer's role is to provide information that the system manager can use to make the right decisions. This includes identification of alternative architectures and characterization of those elements in a way that helps managers to find out, among the alternatives, a design that provides a better combination of the various technical areas involved in the design. Space mission architecture consists of a broad system concept which is the most fundamental statement of how the mission will be carried out and satisfy the stakeholders. The architecture development process starts with the stakeholder analysis which enables the identification of the decision drivers, then, the requirements are analysed for elaborationg the system concept. Effectiveness parameters such as performance, cost, risk and schedule are the outcomes of the stakeholder analysis which are labelled as decision drivers to be used in a trade off process to improve the managerial mission decisions. Thus, the proposal presented herein provides a means for innovating the mission design process by identifying drivers through stakeholder analysis and use them in a trade off process to obtain the stakeholder satisfaction with effectiveness parameters

Valores atribuídos ao trabalho e expectativa de futuro: como os jovens se posicionam? Values attributed to work and expectations for the future: how young people position themselves?

A inserção dos jovens no mundo do trabalho vem sendo matizada pela reestruturação produtiva, fenômeno que situa o trabalho e o futuro em patamares cada vez mais instáveis e inseguros. Partindo da consideração teórica de que valores são histórica e socialmente situados, e que a ideologia liberal sobre o trabalho impregna a vida social, o objetivo desta investigação foi identificar e analisar os valores atribuídos ao trabalho por jovens de diferentes grupos sociais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que apreendeu o objeto empírico por meio da análise de conteúdo de entrevistas com 86 jovens de diferentes grupos sociais de um município da região metropolitana de São Paulo. De modo geral, os jovens de todos os grupos percebem o trabalho como algo valoroso, essencial para o crescimento e amadurecimento que se espera na fase adulta. Houve diferentes posicionamentos entre os grupos sociais quanto à finalidade do trabalho, variando entre caminho para a realização de valores de consumo e posição social e meio para suprir necessidades básicas de sobrevivência. Porém, a ideologia liberal sobre inserção no trabalho marcou todos os grupos. O futuro encontra-se condicionado ao rumo que tomarem no mercado de trabalho, meio principal para conseguir realizar os sonhos.<br>The integration of young people to the labor world has been colored by the restructuring of production, a phenomenon that ranks both work and the future at increasingly unstable and insecure levels. Based on the theoretical consideration that social values are historically and socially situated, and that the liberal ideology of work pervades social life, this investigation aimed to analyze the work values of young people from different social groups. It is a qualitative study that captured the empirical object by analyzing the content of interviews carried out with 86 young people from different social groups in a municipality located in the São Paulo metropolitan region. In general, young people from all groups perceive work as something that is valuable, essential to attain the growth and maturation that is expected in adulthood. The purpose of the study proved to be a little different, since while for some work is the means through which it is possible to achieve the values of consumption and social position, to others it is a means to meet basic survival needs. Thus, the future depends on the direction they take in the labor market, since this is believed to be the main means to materialize other dreams

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
