    En el desarrollo de la gestión de proyectos, en la actualidad, la velocidad de ejecución y la flexibilidad cada vez toman más importancia, pero ¿por qué?; la principal razón es la reducción de costos y la obtención de beneficios intangibles en cuanto a ventaja competitiva que se consigue con la disminución de tiempos, en contraste, si la reducción se da mediante un crashing, los recursos adicionales generaran un costo mayor para el proyecto, así que hay que encontrar un equilibrio entre estos dos ítems, debe tenerse claramente estipulado el enfoque y así establecer las prioridades para comenzar con la planificación del proyecto, estableciendo las tareas, el orden en que deben realizarse y sus interrelaciones para llevar a feliz término el proyecto. Posteriormente se ejecuta el proyecto, mediante la conformación de un equipo de trabajo se llevan a cabo las actividades para cumplir con los entregables y brindar un producto final al cliente, que cumpla con sus requerimientos en términos de tiempo, precio, seguridad, calidad y demás factores que permitan que se sienta satisfecho y además que pueda recibir un valor agregado que provoque que genere buena reputación y retorne para hacer negocios. Finalmente, al terminar cada proyecto, la empresa debe estar en capacidad de realizar un proceso de aprendizaje, tanto de las victorias como de los inconvenientes que se presentan en cada proyecto, así como un análisis de causalidad de estas ocurrencias, todo esto con el objetivo de propender a una mejora continua que es el objetivo de este artículo.In developing project management, today, the execution speed and flexibility are increasingly taking importance, but why ?; the main reason is the reduction of costs and intangible benefits obtained in terms of competitive advantage achieved with decreasing times, in contrast, if the reduction is given by a project crashing, additional resources will generate a higher cost for the project , so must to find a balance between these two items, it should be clearly stated focus and set priorities and to begin planning the project, setting out the tasks, in order to be performed and their relations to reach a successful completion the project. Subsequently the project is executed, through the formation of a work team carried out activities to comply deliverables and provide a final product to the customer that meets their requirements in terms of time, price, safety, quality and other factors that allows to feel satisfied and also receive added value that generates good reputation and return to do business. Finally, at the end of each project, the company should be able to perform a learning process for both the victories and the drawbacks that emerges in each project, and an analysis of causality of these occurrences, with the objective of tending to continuous improvement which is the objective of this article

    How Does the Law Put a Historical Analogy to Work?: Defining the Imposition of “A Condition Analogous to That of a Slave” in Modern Brazil

    Get PDF
    Over the last decades, the Brazilian state has engaged in concerted legal efforts to identify and prosecute cases of what officials refer to as “slave labor” (trabalho escravo). At a conceptual level, the campaign has paired the constitutional protection of human dignity and the “social value of labor” with an expansive interpretation of the offense described in Article 149 of the Criminal Code as “the reduction of a person to a condition analogous to that of a slave.” At the operational level, mobile teams of inspectors and prosecutors have intervened in thousands of work sites, and labor prosecutors have obtained hundreds of consent agreements and convictions in the labor courts, a civil branch of the judiciary. Between the mid-1990s and the end of 2016, some 51,000 workers were administratively resgatados (“rescued”) from rural and urban workplaces in which inspectors determined that they had been reduced to a condition analogous to slavery. Under the supervision of the inspectors, labor contracts have been administratively cancelled, back pay has been (when possible) extracted from the employer, and unemployment insurance payments have been provided to the rescued workers

    Relações entre o Congresso e o STF em tempos de crise política

    Get PDF
    O artigo mostra que a atuação do STF no período de crise política é, em grande medida, coerente com a posição que o Tribunal adota há tempos, com o intuito de demonstrar que as reclamações de uma suposta “interferência indevida” por parte do Poder Judiciário em questões internas do Poder Legislativo parecem equivocadas. O que de fato ocorre é um aumento do número de procedimentos disciplinares (processos que, em geral, têm como objetivo a aplicação da sanção de perda de mandato) e investigações parlamentares (CPI´s). Em tais situações, está sempre presente a possibilidade de violação de direitos constitucionais dos investigados, situação em que o STF deve atuar ativamente. Ressalta o argumento dos deputados que reclamam da excessiva interferência do Tribunal no âmbito de procedimentos internos da Câmara e do Senado, tese que ganhou o nome de "doutrina dos atos interna corporis" (atos que são internos a um órgão e não podem ser discutidos por outro)

    Analysis of 1-3 piezocomposite and homogeneous piezoelectric rings for power ultrasonic transducers

    Get PDF
    Some power ultrasonic transducers, such as Tonpilz transducers, require high-power transmitting capability as well as broadband performance. Optimized vibrational modes can achieve these requirements. This work compares the resonant characteristics and the surface vibration modes between a homogeneous piezoelectric ring and a 1-3 piezocomposite ring, both used in power ultrasonic transducers. This is the first step in the design of power transducers. Analytical models and finite element results are validated by electrical impedance measurements and the surface acoustic spectroscopy method. Excellent agreement between theoretical and experimental results was obtained. Results show that using piezocomposite ceramics minimize superposition of undesirable modes and increase the bandwidth, as shown in sonograms

    Chloroplasts morphology investigation with diverse microscopy approaches and inter-specific variation in Laurencia species (Rhodophyta)

    The present study described with different microscopy approaches chloroplasts lobes in Laurencia sensu latu (Rhodophyta) species and found inter-specific differences among them. Chloroplasts were investigated using confocal laser scanning microscopy (LSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM). Using and TEM and HRSEM images we distinguished chloroplasts with lobes than chloroplasts without lobes in Yuzurua poiteaui var. gemmifera (Harvey) M. J. Wynne and Laurencia dendroidea J. Agardh cortical cells. The LSM images showed chloroplasts lobes (CLs) with different morphologies, varying from thicker and longer undulated projections in Y. poiteaui var. and L. dendroidea to very small and thin tubules as in Laurencia translucida Fujii & Cordeiro-Marino. The diameter and length of CLs from Y poiteaui var. and L. dendroidea were significantly higher than L. translucida CLs (p \u3c 0.01). Based on LSM observations, we suggest that lobes morphology has a taxonomic validity only to characterize L. translucida species

    In situ observation of sexual reproduction of Holothuria tubulosa Gmelin 1788 (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) in the Azores (NE Atlantic)

    Copyright © SPC 2010.[...]. In the Azores, H. tubulosa spawning occurs in the summer months (so far observed in July and August) during the afternoon, which may follow the annual pattern, during warm sea temperatures (22–26°C) and being synchronous in both sexes, as stated by Despalotovic et al. (2004) in the Adriatic Sea. [...
