Orientador : Prof. Msc. Fausto Weimar Acerbi JúniorMonografia (especialização) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Agrárias, Curso de Pós-graduação em Gestão FlorestalInclui referênciasResumo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal avaliar o impacto na vegetação nativa decorrente da alteração na legislação florestal em pequenas propriedades na área de proteção ambiental do Pratigi, localizada no Baixo Sul da Bahia. Foi tomada como base de apoio para delimitação das divisas das propriedades e análise da vegetação, imagens de alta resolução obtidas do Veículo Aéreo Não Tripulado (VANT) Nauru 500A, com datas entre outubro e dezembro de 2013. Foram delimitadas as Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP) de rios, ou seja, faixas marginais de qualquer curso d’água natural perene e intermitente, excluídos os efêmeros e de áreas no entorno das nascentes e dos olhos d’água perenes, utilizando técnicas de geoprocessamento. A partir destas informações foi realizada uma análise da vegetação nativa (Mata Atlântica) identificando visualmente e quantificando-se a área de vegetação dentro das APP e, assim, comparando com a área que seria se o Código Florestal não tivesse sido alterado. Com isso foi caracterizado o impacto da mudança da Lei na vegetação nativa dentro de oito propriedades selecionadas aleatoriamente entre as que possuem área de até 80 hectares (4 módulos fiscais na região em estudo)

MOTIM – An Industrial Application Using NOCs

High-speed networks used to interconnect computers advance at an extraordinary pace, driven by the evolution of several contributing technologies. Due to the ever-increasing complexity of designing parts and equipments for these networks, design complexity management makes scalability and reusability more important issues than performance, in most cases. This paper describes MOTIM, a scalable and reusable architecture enabling the implementation of Ethernet switches with low latency and high throughput. The architecture is built around a network-on-chip-based switch fabric, which guarantees scalability. The architecture has been validated by functional simulation and prototyped in FPGAs. The experimental results show that even under severe traffic conditions the architecture achieves packet transmission with low latencies. Categories and Subject Descriptor

Mapping and Analyzing NSW Blue Network to Leverage Insights for a Competitive World

NPS NRP Technical ReportThis study’s purpose is to examine Naval Special Warfare Command’s (NAVSPECWARCOM) “blue network” and evaluate its structural strengths and weaknesses, as well as provide recommendations as to how the command can improve its ability to leverage its network and draw insights from it. This paper examines this topic from a social network perspective on social capital. Guided by extant social network research, it maps and analyzes the network’s structural patterns and assesses the extent to which it has access to critical resources and expertise from outside networks (e.g., academic and private industry). It finds that both close personal and colleague relations contribute substantially to regular communication patterns among personnel. Blue network members tend to form communication clusters as well, which can permit information and resources to transmit efficiently across them, especially in its relatively decentralized form. In fact, the command can rely on many network members to gain access to capital within the structure rather than depend heavily on a few well-connected individuals. However, about a quarter of respondents do not communicate regularly with the command, which indicates that capital may not reach the command. Furthermore, the type of capital to which the network has access varies. While it appears relatively strong in technology-based areas (e.g., innovation and artificial intelligence (AI)), it can make improvements in key substantive areas pertaining to great power competition (GPC), such as cultural and language expertise. This paper offers two broad categories of recommendations: namely, practices and information collection and storage procedures. Recommendations include maintaining an entrepreneurial mentality but improving formal communication, facilitating the creation of “short-cuts” among affiliated institutions, tasking personnel to target key resource gaps, immediately establishing contacts with experts in key areas, collecting blue network and resource data, and leveraging information systems for information storage.Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM)N7 - Warfighting DevelopmentThis research is supported by funding from the Naval Postgraduate School, Naval Research Program (PE 0605853N/2098). https://nps.edu/nrpChief of Naval Operations (CNO)Approved for public release.

Tecnologias Digitais na Educação Básica

No âmbito deste estudo, derivado de uma dissertação, é abordada a significância da integração das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) no contexto do ensino de química, salientando-se que tais recursos tecnológicos conferem maior atratividade e dinamismo às atividades de ensino. O objetivo da pesquisa se concentra na análise das concepções e percepções discentes no que concerne à incorporação das TDIC nas aulas de química. Este estudo, de natureza básica e abordagem qualitativa, foi conduzido junto a 20 discentes do curso de formação de docentes de uma instituição de ensino pública, no Estado do Paraná. A construção de dados deu-se mediante a utilização de um questionário semiestruturado, cujas respostas foram submetidas a uma análise descritiva-analítica. Os resultados revelaram a aspiração dos alunos por uma abordagem pedagógica pautada na utilização de recursos tecnológicos nas aulas de química, uma vez que tais recursos são pouco explorados durante o ensino. Especificamente, 75% dos participantes indicaram preferência pela "Explicação no quadro e exercícios" como os recursos que consideram pertinente para otimizar a aprendizagem em sala de aula. Tal preferência, embora compreensível devido à prevalência desses métodos tradicionais nas aulas de química, evidencia a necessidade de transformação desse cenário. Apesar da escassa exposição dos alunos às TDIC no contexto escolar, é perceptível o anseio por uma abordagem didática mais dinâmica, que integre jogos tecnológicos, aplicativos e software

Construindo alianças estratégicas para a produção na sétima arte: um estudo multicasos em produtoras cinematográficas brasileiras

The movie industry is characterized by the ambiguity of being an industrial activity and a symbolic to the national identity. Despite its relevance, there is a literature gap concerning the role of alliances in the national film production. We sought to understand this process through the lens of the industry structure and the resource-based view. This study was qualitative in nature on the basis of a multiple case study approach and semi-structured interviews. The findings showed that, due to the majors’ oligopolistic domain, the national industry inherited the North American pattern for revenue-sharing among participants in the production chain. However, the United States market structure is based in both vertical integration and strong ties between the movie industry and the television industry. Analyzing the Brazilian movie industry, government resignation from investing in production, reduced film lifecycles, and few projects funded privately (via incentive laws), competition between productions is fierce. We found not only that alliances are essential to the functioning of the industry (resource complementarity), but also that producers are strongly dependent to other elements in the movie value system – particularly due to power asymmetries created by the industry structure. Complementarity and dependency go hand in hand.O setor cinematográfico carrega a ambiguidade de ser uma atividade industrial e simbólica relevante para a identidade nacional. A despeito de sua significância, há uma lacuna acadêmica sobre o papel das alianças no modelo produtivo brasileiro. Optou-se, diante disso, por entender tal processo através da investigação da estrutura da indústria e da visão baseada em recursos. Este trabalho possui natureza qualitativa, fazendo uso de multicasos e de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Constatou-se que, em função do domínio oligopolista das majors, o setor nacional herdou o padrão americano de divisão de receitas entre os participantes da cadeia produtiva. Entretanto, a estrutura mercadológica dos Estados Unidos é baseada na integração vertical e em uma relação estreita com a televisão. Esses fatos, somados ao abandono do Estado no que diz respeito ao investimento direto na produção, à diminuição do ciclo de vida do filme e ao baixo percentual de projetos que captam recursos via leis de incentivo, asseveraram a competitividade. Percebeu-se que as alianças são um movimento necessário para o funcionamento da cadeia (complementariedade de recursos), mas que há, também, uma relação de dependência das produtoras com os demais elos do sistema de valor, em função da assimetria de poder criada pela estrutura da indústria. É possível afirmar, assim, que complementariedade e dependência andam pari passu.
