A escolha pela carreira docente: os casos dos cursos de licenciaturas em ciências naturais e educação do campo

É sabido que muitos jovens que optam pela profissão de professor não realizam essa escolha por identificação com a carreira, mas por outros motivos que variam consideravelmente. O objetivo desse trabalho foi averiguar razões da escolha da profissão de professor por estudantes de dois cursos de licenciatura regulares da Universidade de Brasília, ciências naturais e educação do campo, por meio de um questionário aplicado a estudantes na etapa final dos cursos. Os resultados evidenciam que as opiniões dos licenciandos dos cursos avaliados se distinguem do observado em outros estudos sobre licenciaturas tradicionais, como biologia, química e física, e podem significar uma orientação para as políticas públicas de formação de professores

Lifecycle Management of Product-service Systems: A Preliminary Investigation of a White Goods Manufacturer

© 2017 The Authors. Product-Service Systems (PSS) have been discussed as promising business strategies towards a circular economy (CE). However, PSS solutions are not necessarily more sustainable. PSS lifecycle management may play an important role to improve the offering and achieve sustainability benefits. Nevertheless, bottom-up issues for CE implementation in the industry such as lifecycle management are still little discussed in the literature. In this sense, this paper aims to explore a PSS business strategy adopted by a large white goods manufacturer that transitioned from a linear to a circular business, and the practices applied throughout the entire lifecycle that may be valuable to achieve CE requirements. A case-based approach was employed in this study and multiple sources of evidence were considered. Data were analyzed in the light of the literature, considering an inductive approach. The main preliminary findings suggest that resources consumption reduction and cost savings can be obtained through lifecycle management practices that take into consideration CE issues since the beginning of life of the PSS offering. Design practices, the adoption of different strategies at the end of life (reuse/remanufacturing or recycle), and the implementation of cleaner production practices are some of the identified practices that can contribute to achieve resource efficiency and CE requirements. This is a work in progress and further work is going to focus on a quantitative analysis of the environmental and economic performance of this PSS. In addition, as this study focused on a use-oriented PSS, future research may compare lifecycle management practices adopted by other and distinct PSS categories, and how different lifecycle management practices may contribute to achieving resource efficiency

PLM Process and Information Mapping for Mass Customization Based on Additive Manufacturing

Part 15: PLM Processes and ApplicationsInternational audienceMass customization (MC) aims to support product individualization while maintaining scale advantages. There are different options to allow individual client influence throughout the product production process. Most efforts to bring the customer closer to manufacturing of their customized product are concentrated in the assembly stage, given the complexity to consider individual needs since design. Emerging information management and flexible manufacturing technologies can support advances in current customization approaches and levels. In this paper, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Additive Manufacturing (AM) solutions and technologies are applied to build a tailored customization scenario for the design and production of an assistive technology product considering individual characteristics of each customer. Based on the scenario simulation, the objective is to detail the process and information flow, which are essential in bringing clients’ specific needs into the design
