    A necessidade de realizar diagnósticos participativos está diretamente relacionada à necessidade de ter um espelho da comunidade de uma forma ágil, mostrando a organização e o funcionamento da mesma. Esse diagnóstico permitiu uma efetiva participação da equipe do projeto junto à comunidade como catalisador de um processo de pesquisa participativa, e seguiu as bases teóricas do diagnóstico participativo

    Educating graduates for marketing in SMEs: an update for the traditional marketing curriculum

    Get PDF
    Purpose – Despite rising graduate unemployment in the UK, there are insufficient numbers of graduates employed in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The literature suggests that a teaching emphasis on large organisational business models in Higher Education Institutions (HEI), particularly in the teaching of marketing theory, renders the SME sector unattractive to graduate employment and conversely, it is perceived that graduates lack additional ‘soft skills’ vital for SME development and growth. The aim of this study is to provide an analysis of how SMEs define marketing and to compare student perspective on marketing within a SME context. This paper also examines the need to improve the conventional marketing curriculum with additional teaching solutions that consider the reality of UK SME ownership and student employment prospects. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative research approach was adopted using in-depth interviews amongst ten SME owners and twenty undergraduate marketing students of a UK University. Findings – Findings revealed that the marketing practices used in SMEs were not present in the marketing curriculum in the case University. The employment of marketing graduates was not positively perceived by SME owners and equally, marketing undergraduates did not view SMEs as the career organisation of choice. Research limitations/implications – The findings suggest that Universities need to adapt their marketing curriculum to inform students of the realities of SME marketing practice and better prepare them for future employment in this sector, which contributes significantly to the overall economy and job creation in the UK. Originality/value – Our study re-evaluates the HE marketing curriculum and suggests an update of the curriculum in order to move the university-industry-government relationship away from the traditional knowledge transfer perspective

    Internationalization of board members and compliance with mandatory disclosure: Empirical study of IFRS 3 (business combinations) in Brazil

    Get PDF
    The determinants tested in the mandatory disclosure are usually about business and cultural factors. However, the board members have a strong power of decision on the information disclosed, so it is natural that the characteristics of board members can influence the fulfillment of disclosure. This study analyses the level of compliance with IFRS 3 and examines whether it is influenced by the level of internationalization of board members. Our results indicate a moderate level of compliance, which is greater the greater the weight of foreign board members and the weight of board members with training abroad.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Masonry behaviour and modelling

    Get PDF
    In this Chapter we present the basic experimental facts on masonry materials and introduce simple and refined models for masonry. The simple models are essentially macroscopic and based on the assumption that the material is incapable of sustaining tensile loads (No-Tension assumption). The refined models account for the microscopic structure of masonry, modeling the interaction between the blocks and the interfaces.(undefined

    Relativistic Mean-Field Hadronic Models under Nuclear Matter Constraints

    Get PDF
    Relativistic mean-field (RMF) models have been widely used in the study of many hadronic frameworks because of several important aspects not always present in nonrelativistic models, such as intrinsic Lorentz covariance, automatic inclusion of spin, appropriate saturation mechanism for nuclear matter, causality and, therefore, no problems related to superluminal speed of sound. With the aim of identifying the models which best satisfy well known properties of nuclear matter, we have analyzed 263263 parameterizations of seven different types of RMF models under three different sets of constraints related to symmetric nuclear matter, pure neutron matter, symmetry energy, and its derivatives. One of these (SET1) is formed of the same constraints used in a recent work [M. Dutra et al., Phys. Rev. C 85, 035201 (2012)] in which we analyzed 240240 Skyrme parameterizations. The results pointed to 22 models consistent with all constraints. By using another set of constraints, namely, SET2a, formed by the updated versions of the previous one, we found 44 models approved simultaneously. Finally, in the third set, named SET2b, in which the values of the constraints are more restrictive, we found 33 consistent models. Another interesting feature of our analysis is that the results change dramatically if we do not consider the constraint regarding the volume part of the isospin incompressibility (KÏ„,vK_{\tau,\rm v}). In this case, we have 3535 approved models in SET2a and 3030 in SET2b.Comment: 63 pages, 3 figures and 9 tables. Version accepted for publication in PR

    Relativistic Mean-Field Models and Nuclear Matter Constraints

    Full text link
    This work presents a preliminary study of 147 relativistic mean-field (RMF) hadronic models used in the literature, regarding their behavior in the nuclear matter regime. We analyze here different kinds of such models, namely: (i) linear models, (ii) nonlinear \sigma^3+\sigma^4 models, (iii) \sigma^3+\sigma^4+\omega^4 models, (iv) models containing mixing terms in the fields \sigma and \omega, (v) density dependent models, and (vi) point-coupling ones. In the finite range models, the attractive (repulsive) interaction is described in the Lagrangian density by the \sigma (\omega) field. The isospin dependence of the interaction is modeled by the \rho meson field. We submit these sets of RMF models to eleven macroscopic (experimental and empirical) constraints, used in a recent study in which 240 Skyrme parametrizations were analyzed. Such constraints cover a wide range of properties related to symmetric nuclear matter (SNM), pure neutron matter (PNM), and both SNM and PNM.Comment: 3 Pages, submitted for proceedings of XXXV Reuni\~ao de Trabalho sobre F\'isica Nuclear no Brasil 201

    Resposta a NPK por seringueiras em viveiros nas condicoes do estado de Rondonia.

    Get PDF
    Procurou-se verificar as resposta a adubacao e definir niveis mais adequados nitrogenio, fosforo e potassio para viveiros de seringueira em Rondonia. Os experimentos foram instalados em alguns solos representativos nos municipios de Porto Velho e Ariquemes: Latossolo Amarelo textura pesada; Ouro Preto D'Oeste: Podzolicos. Os delineamentos foram do tipo fatorial incompleto em blocos ao acaso, com tres repeticoes. Utilizou-se: ureia com 45% de N, superfosfato triplo com 46% de P2O5 e cloreto de potassio com 60% de K2O.Mediu-se o diametro do caule a 5cm do solo consideradosos diametros de 1,2cm para plantas de 7 meses e de 2cm para plantas de 12 meses de idade no calculo da porcentagem de plantas aptas a enxertia. Resultados demonstram que nao ha resposta significativa a adubacao de ate 90kg de N, 250kg P2O5 e 120kg K2O/ha. O manejo adequado da materia organica, calagem e adubacao de testituicao, deverao ser praticas observadas para a garantia da producao de viveiros de seringueira. Sugere-se que enquanto nao se tem determinacao segura de teores exportados palas plantas em diversos locais do Estado, a aplicacao de 1,0g de P2O5 e K2O por planta deve ser suficiente para a produçãobitstream/item/23946/1/11-jul88.pd
