A COMPLEXIDADE DO PROCESSO DECISÓRIO EM UNIVERSIDADES

Muito tem se discutido sobre a complexidade do processo decisório em Universidades, tanto no que diz respeito aos seus objetivos como nos modelos utilizados para conseguir os resultados desejáveis seja no âmbito da instituição, bem como no interesse de seus beneficiários e da sociedade em geral. As universidades são organizações complexas, que possuem características peculiares que a diferenciam das demais organizações. A diversidade de objetivos, o tipo de profissional que nela atua e o fato de estarem voltados para o ensino, pesquisa e extensão fez com que as universidades desenvolvessem um estilo próprio de estrutura, forma de agir e modo de tomar decisão influenciando assim no processo decisório. A universidade é uma instituição singular dividida em várias sub-culturas, caracterizada pela diversidade e ambivalência de objetivos havendo assim a necessidade de analisarmos os modelos e a complexidade de processo decisório presente nestas instituições (COLOSSI, 1999)

AVALIAÇÃO COMO ESTRATÉGIA DE MUDANÇA VISANDO A MELHORIA DA QUALIDADE NAS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR

O tema Avaliação no Ensino Superior é extremamente complexo e desafiador seja para implementar estratégia de mudança de cultura, ou na melhoria da qualidade dos serviços prestados. A avaliação institucional é um instrumento importante para desenvolver análises que possam subsidiar, implementar e definir diretriz visando o aprimoramento dos processos administrativos em Instituições de Ensino Superior. As Instituições de Ensino Superior identificam seu perfil, descobrem pontos fortes e fracos que devem ser melhorados ou eliminados por meio da avaliação. É também por meio da avaliação que as instituições de Ensino Superior procuram perceber o comprometimento de seus servidores no alcance dos objetivos institucionais. Mas para que se tenha êxito é necessário que se tenha um instrumento adequado para obter informações que serviram de apoio aos dirigentes na definição das diretrizes de mudanças ou de melhoria de qualidade nas instituições de Ensino superior. Assim a avaliação deve ser feita levando em consideração a realidade da instituição, para isso é necessário que se utilize componentes ou categorias que correspondem a realidade da instituição pesquisada. A mesma deve ser planejada, executada e monitorada no sentido de evitar que perca sua razão de ser. Bem como deve ser um instrumento adequado que consegue obter informações estratégicas e importantes da instituição pesquisada

Multi-Color Light Curves of Type Ia Supernovae on the Color-Magnitude Diagram: a Novel Step Toward More Precise Distance and Extinction Estimates

We show empirically that fits to the color-magnitude relation of Type Ia supernovae after optical maximum can provide accurate relative extragalactic distances. We report the discovery of an empirical color relation for Type Ia light curves: During much of the first month past maximum, the magnitudes of Type Ia supernovae defined at a given value of color index have a very small magnitude dispersion; moreover, during this period the relation between $B$ magnitude and $B-V$ color (or $B-R$ or $B-I$ color) is strikingly linear, to the accuracy of existing well-measured data. These linear relations can provide robust distance estimates, in particular, by using the magnitudes when the supernova reaches a given color. After correction for light curve strech factor or decline rate, the dispersion of the magnitudes taken at the intercept of the linear color-magnitude relation are found to be around 0$^m$.08 for the sub-sample of supernovae with \BVm $\le 0^m.05$, and around 0$^m$.11 for the sub-sample with \BVm $\le 0^m.2$. This small dispersion is consistent with being mostly due to observational errors. The method presented here and the conventional light curve fitting methods can be combined to further improve statistical dispersions of distance estimates. It can be combined with the magnitude at maximum to deduce dust extinction. The slopes of the color-magnitude relation may also be used to identify intrinsically different SN Ia systems. The method provides a tool that is fundamental to using SN Ia to estimate cosmological parameters such as the Hubble constant and the mass and dark energy content of the universe.Comment: ApJ, in pres

PENERAPAN PEMASARAN DIGITAL DALAM PENGEMBANGAN PAKET WISATA DESA BLIMBINGSARI, JEMBRANA, BALI

The PKM Implementation Team has carried out training to solve partner problems in 3 fields: Field 1: Management and Marketing, Field 2: Tourism, and Field 3: Informatics.  This activity has been carried out: (1) POKDARWIS has been able to make a tourist map in the form of narration and educational packages that have been integrated and which areas and products are suitable for inclusion in tourism potential. The products used are printing products made from organic colors, forest honey products, and pastry products made from local ingredients. (2) Villagers have collectively agreed on prices and products that can be linked between one tour and another. Currently, the agreement is on the distribution of group guests who spend the night in Blimbingsari Tourism Village. (3) POKDARWIS has been able to rebrand according to current tourism needs such as the entrance to the tourist village, the availability of exciting photo spots, and the creation of tour packages for Blimbingsari village. The rebranding that has been built is that Blimbingsari Tourism Village is The Promised Land. From the feedback that has been given, there are 2 indicators that are the weak points of Blimbingsari Tourism Village, namely the distance of the tourist village from the Denpasar City Center which must take quite a long time around 3 hours because the space is quite far, which is around 120 km. This problem has been overcome by creating a tour package to stay in the village and stringing it through a route that passes through the tourist attractions along the Denpasar-Gilimanuk route, or Denpasar-Singaraja-Gilimanuk. This tour package is designed to add value to the trip and add a more exciting tourist experienc

SENSITIVITY OF Microsporum canis ISOLATED FROM DOGS TOWARDS ANTIFUNGALS

The dermatophytosis treatment in dogs can fail due to dermatophyte resistance to antifungals. The purpose of this study is to determine the antifungal sensitivity of dermatophyte Microsporum canis (M. canis) isolated from dogs with dermatophyte. A total of 17 M. canis dog isolateswere tested for sensitivity to 25 µg fluconazole, 25 µg griseofulvin, 15 µg ketoconazole and 30 µg terbinafine, using the disc diffusion method.The M. canis isolates were cultured on Sabouraud's Dextrose Agar media, placed an antifungal disc, and then incubated at 28 C for 7 days. Thediameter of inhibition zone was measured, then compared with the standard, to determine whether they were sensitive, intermediate or resistant.The results of this study indicate that 16 isolates were sensitive to fluconazole; 17 isolates were sensitive to griseofulvin, ketoconazole andterbinafine; and one isolate was intermediate to fluconazole. Based on these results, it is concluded that all 17 (100%) isolates are sensitive to theantifungals griseofulvin, ketoconazole, terbinafine, and 16 (94%) isolates are sensitive to fluconazole. Thus, the four antifungals can be selectedto treat dermatophytes in dogs

Assessing Cumulative Health Risks from Exposure to Environmental Mixtures—Three Fundamental Questions

Differential exposure to mixtures of environmental agents, including biological, chemical, physical, and psychosocial stressors, can contribute to increased vulnerability of human populations and ecologic systems. Cumulative risk assessment is a tool for organizing and analyzing information to evaluate the probability and seriousness of harmful effects caused by either simultaneous and/or sequential exposure to multiple environmental stressors. In this article we focus on elucidating key challenges that must be addressed to determine whether and to what degree differential exposure to environmental mixtures contributes to increased vulnerability of exposed populations. In particular, the emphasis is on examining three fundamental and interrelated questions that must be addressed as part of the process to assess cumulative risk: a) Which mixtures are most important from a public health perspective? and b) What is the nature (i.e., duration, frequency, timing) and magnitude (i.e., exposure concentration and dose) of relevant cumulative exposures for the population of interest? c) What is the mechanism (e.g., toxicokinetic or toxicodynamic) and consequence (e.g., additive, less than additive, more than additive) of the mixture’s interactive effects on exposed populations? The focus is primarily on human health effects from chemical mixtures, and the goal is to reinforce the need for improved assessment of cumulative exposure and better understanding of the biological mechanisms that determine toxicologic interactions among mixture constituents
