IDENTIFICAÇÃO DE NECESSIDADES DE DESENVOLVIMENTO: UM ESTUDO COM BASE NA AUTO AVALIAÇÃO DE GESTORES UNIVERSITÁRIOS

Diante da relevância das Instituições de Ensino Superior tem na sociedade, da importância que os gestores têm sobre as atividades realizadas nessa organização e das necessidades de se entender como se desenvolve o trabalho das pessoas que ocupam esta posição, o objetivo desse trabalho consistiu em identificar as principais demandas de desenvolvimento percebidas pelos gestores de uma universidade pública federal para o exercício da sua função gerencial. Foi aplicado um survey online aos ocupantes de cargos de direção e função gratificada de uma IFES pública onde foi solicitado que cada respondente (N=206) indicasse o seu grau de preparo para o exercício de um conjunto de atividades gerenciais. Foram identificadas quatro dimensões principais: uma relacionada à tomada de decisão (6 itens, alpha= 0.899); comunicação externa (5 itens, alpha= 0.903); comunicação interna (4 itens, alpha= 0,834); e acompanhamento do trabalho dos funcionário (8 itens, alpha= 0,915). Esse resultado permitiu identificar principais pontos a serem abordados em um programa de desenvolvimento gerencial, assim como identificar um conjunto básico de competências que caracterizam o trabalho dos gestores em uma IFES pública

The nature and dimensions of achievement goals: mastery, evaluation, competition, and self-presentation goals

The present study aimed to clarify the nature and dimensions of achievement goals and to examine structural differences in students' goals across school levels. Participants were 134 students from 5th and 6th grades, and 423 students from 7th to 9th grades. A variety of achievement goals were assessed, including mastery goals and several performance-related goals representing three main dimensions: competition, self-presentation, and valence. Two alternative models were tested, using confirmatory factor analysis. For middle-school students a three factor model with presentation, competition, and simple evaluation/mastery goals, was found ??(132, N = 134) = 160.9, p < .001; CFI = .94; RMSEA = .04, 95%CI [.02 - .06]. In the junior-high sample, one avoidance factor, one competition factor, and a simple evaluation/mastery factor, best fitted the data ??(114, N = 423) = 269.8638 p < .001; CFI = .93; RMSEA = .06, 95%CI [.05 - .07] thus suggesting that distinct dimensions organize younger and older students' motivation. However, common to both grade levels was the existence of (a) separate but low incidence competition goals, and (b) simple evaluation goals, which encompass neither self-presentation nor competition, and are closely linked to mastery goals. Moreover, significant differences were found in the relative importance attached by students to the different types of goals (p < .001 for all comparisons), both at middle-school F(2, 266) = 220.98; p < .001; ?2 = .624) and at junior-high school F(2, 820) = 464.4; p < .001; ?2 = .531.8C1E-AFB9-6BE1 | Maria Teresa Martins Gon?alvesN/

N2-H2 capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharges at low pressure: II. Modeling results: The relevance of plasma-surface interaction

In this work, we present the results of simulations carried out for N2-H2 capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharges, running at low pressure (0.3-0.9 mbar), low power (5-20 W), and for amounts of H2 up to 5%. Simulations are performed using a hybrid code that couples a two-dimensional time-dependent fluid module, describing the dynamics of the charged particles in the discharge, to a zero-dimensional kinetic module, that solves the Boltzmann equation and describes the production and destruction of neutral species. The model accounts for the production of several vibrationally and electronic excited states, and contains a detailed surface chemistry that includes recombination processes and the production of NH x molecules. The results obtained highlight the relevance of the interactions between plasma and surface, given the role of the secondary electron emission in the electrical parameters of the discharge and the critical importance of the surface production of ammonia to the neutral and ionic chemistry of the discharge.The Portuguese Foundation sponsored this research for Science and Technology (FCT) in the framework of the Strategic Funding UID/FIS/04650/2019

Uma reverberação do ideário britânico no Brasil: o Green-Belt de Maringá e o Green-Wedge de Cianorte / A reverberation of British ideas in Brazil: the greenbelt of Maringá and the green wedge of Cianorte

Esta pesquisa investigou o desenho e a implantação de Green-Belts nas cidades de Maringá e Cianorte, onde observar-se a reverberação do planejamento britânico e do ideário de Cidade-Jardim no Norte do Estado do Paraná, em meados do século XX, aplicado por meio do Plano de Colonização executado pela Companhia de Terras Norte do Paraná. Sob a análise dos planos urbanísticos desenvolvidos por Jorge de Macedo Vieira para estas cidades e do processo inicial de implantação das mesmas, verificou-se que em Maringá houve a tentativa de implantação de um cinturão verde no formato de um anel de pequenas propriedades rurais, enquanto em Cianorte a ideia foi implantada com a preservação de um cinturão de mata nativa que circunda adentra o espaço urbano, identificado como um Green-Wedge

Dependência micorrízica de mangabeira em doses crescentes de fósforo

The objective of this study was to evaluate the mycorrhizal dependency of mangaba tree (Hancornia speciosa) plantlets, under increasing levels of phosphorus fertilization. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 4´5 factorial arrangement with three mycorrhizal fungi inocula – Gigaspora margarita, Glomus etunicatum, or a pool of native mycorrhizal fungi (Acaulospora longula, Glomus clarum, Gigaspora albida, Paraglomus sp.) –, and a nonmycorrhizal control, in combination with five levels of phosphorus applied to the substrate: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg kg-1. After 180 days of growth, plantlets with inoculation of native mycorrhizal pool produced more shoot and root dry biomass and had higher shoot phosphorus content and accumulation. The noninoculated control showed the lowest values, independently of the phosphorus level. The highest relative mycorrhizal dependency occurred with the inoculation of native mycorrhizal fungi. Plants with mycorrhizal fungi did not respond to phosphorus addition above 50 mg kg-1. Mangaba tree is highly dependent on mycorrhiza, but the degree of dependency varies according to phosphorus levels and fungal inocula. In general, mangaba tree is more responsive to mycorrhizal fungi inoculation than to phosphorus addition.O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a dependência micorrízica de mudas de mangaba (Hancornia speciosa), em doses crescentes de fósforo. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, em arranjo fatorial 4´5 com três inóculos de fungos micorrízicos – Gigaspora margarita, Glomus etunicatum, ou uma mistura de espécies de fungos micorrízicos nativos (Acaulospora longula, Glomus clarum, Gigaspora albida e Paraglomus sp.) –, e um controle não micorrízico, combinados a cinco doses de fósforo no substrato: 0, 25, 50, 75 e 100 mg kg-1. Após 180 dias, as mudas com inoculação dos fungos micorrízicos nativos produziram mais biomassa seca de parte aérea e raízes e apresentaram maior concentração e acúmulo de fósforo na parte aérea. O controle sem inóculo apresentou os menores valores, independentemente da dose de fósforo. A maior dependência micorrízica relativa ocorreu com a inoculação de fungos micorrízicos nativos. Plantas com inoculação micorrízica não responderam à adição de fósforo, em doses acima de 50 mg kg-1. A mangabeira é altamente dependente de micorrizas, mas o grau de dependência varia de acordo com os níveis de fósforo e com os inóculos fúngicos. Em geral, a mangabeira é mais responsiva à inoculação com fungos micorrízicos do que à adição de fósforo

N2-H2 capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharges at low pressure. Part I. Experimental results: Effect of the H2 amount on electrons, positive ions and ammonia formation

The mixing of N2 with H2 leads to very different plasmas from pure N2 and H2 plasma discharges. Numerous issues are therefore raised involving the processes leading to ammonia (NH3) formation. The aim of this work is to better characterize capacitively-coupled radiofrequency plasma discharges in N2 with few percents of H2 (up to 5%), at low pressure (0.3-1 mbar) and low coupled power (3-13 W). Both experimental measurements and numerical simulations are performed. For clarity, we separated the results in two complementary parts. The actual one (first part), presents the details on the experimental measurements, while the second focuses on the simulation, a hybrid model combining a 2D fluid module and a 0D kinetic module. Electron density is measured by a resonant cavity method. It varies from 0.4 to 5 109 cm-3, corresponding to ionization degrees from 2 10-8 to 4 10-7. Ammonia density is quantified by combining IR absorption and mass spectrometry. It increases linearly with the amount of H2 (up to 3 1013 cm-3 at 5% H2). On the contrary, it is constant with pressure, which suggests the dominance of surface processes on the formation of ammonia. Positive ions are measured by mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-bearing ions are hydrogenated by the injection of H2, N2H+ being the major ion as soon as the amount of H2 is >1%. The increase of pressure leads to an increase of secondary ions formed by ion/radical-neutral collisions (ex: N2H+, NH4 +, H3 +), while an increase of the coupled power favours ions formed by direct ionization (ex: N2 +, NH3 +, H2 +).N.
