Os futuros gestores e o mercado de trabalho na cidade de Guarabira

23 f.: il.; colorOs futuros gestores comerciais encontram dificuldades para se inserir no mercado de trabalho pelo aumento significativo da concorr?ncia. Esse aumento ocorre devido ? globaliza??o, ao aumento do empreendedorismo e as poucas oportunidades de emprego oferecidas para os gestores comerciais nas organiza??es. Nesse sentido, o objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar as poss?veis dificuldades enfrentadas pelos futuros gestores para se inserirem no mercado de trabalho. A pesquisa teve car?ter quantitativo, descritivo e explorat?rio. Foi realizada no Instituto Federal da Para?ba no Campus Guarabira atrav?s de question?rio que trouxe perguntas sobre o que os futuros gestores consideram a respeito das poss?veis dificuldades que os mesmos ir?o enfrentar para ingressar no mercado de trabalho. Dentre os resultados encontrados, destacam-se a cidade de Guarabira com mais alunos que frequentam o curso, que s?o alunos da pr?pria cidade cede do campus, a faixa et?ria da maioria dos alunos foram de jovens com idades entre 18 e 25 anos e a maioria com renda de at? dois sal?rios m?nimos. Foi encontrado um resultado preocupante j? que em geral os futuros gestores n?o fazem investimentos pessoas em educa??o profissional al?m do curso tanto como deveriam fazer. Quanto as principais dificuldades que acham que ir?o enfrentar destacou-se a falta de experi?ncia profissional. Os resultados da pesquisa mostraram que grande parte dos futuros gestores j? passaram por processos seletivos em empresas. Os futuros gestores em geral se mostraram cientes das habilidades exigidas pelas empresas na escolha de um gestor, al?m de concordarem que a experi?ncia na ?rea profissional, a forma??o t?cnica e espec?fica e um bom desempenho na entrevista s?o fatores determinantes para se inserirem no mercado de trabalho. Al?m disso, a pesquisa mostrou que s?o poucas as diferen?as entre futuros gestores da fase inicial do curso e futuros gestores da fase final do curso

Size distribution and frustrated antiferromagnetic coupling effects on the magnetic behavior of ultrafine akaganéite (β-FeOOH) nanoparticles

The magnetic properties of low dimensional materials of several iron oxyhydroxide phases, such as akaganéite (β-FeOOH) or lepidocrocite (γ-FeO(OH)), remain poorly explored, probably due to their specific preparation as single crystalline phase requires special conditions owing to their structural instability. In the present work, ultrafine akaganéite nanoparticles were prepared by the hydrolysis of FeCl3 solutions at room temperature induced by the presence of NaOH. The resulting product was characterized by several analytical techniques. Structural investigations using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) revealed that the sample was mainly constituted by rather-equiaxial akaganéite nanocrystals with mean diameter of 3.3 ± 0.5 nm. In addition, a small amount of rodlike akaganéite particles with 23 ± 5 nm in length and 5 ± 1 nm in width was also detected. The study of the respective dependences of the dc magnetization and the ac susceptibility on temperature and exciting magnetic field revealed complex magnetic relaxation processes, high coercivity values at low temperature, and exchange bias effect. These results have been tentatively explained considering size distribution effects and the presence of superparamagnetic and spin glass-like contributions arising from the frustration of the antiferromagnetic order owing to surface effects and an insufficient filling of the akaganéite channels with Cl- anions.Financial support from the Mexican Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) and Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo León under research projects CB12-179486 and PAICYT-CE793-11, respectively, is acknowledged.

Smart Bike Rack

With more and more people turning to bicycles as their main method of transportation every year, bike theft has become a pressing problem all around the world. Every year, millions of bicycles are stolen due to how ineffective current locking mechanisms are at protecting all the main components of a bike. Furthermore, the inefficiency of these locking mechanisms and the fear of bike theft continues to discourage potential users from buying a bike and using it to commute on a daily basis. Our team constructed a proof of concept for an automatic Smart Bike Rack which employs a three-point locking mechanism, ensuring that a user wastes the least amount of time and energy securing the bike as well as protecting it from theft entirely

The Risks and Benefits of Genetically Modified Crops: A Multidisciplinary Perspective

Worldwide, the area planted in genetically modified (GM) crops has increased dramatically in recent years. Between 1996 and 1999, it rose from 1.6 X 106 ha to more than 35 X 106 ha (James 1998, May 1999). This rapid increase has provoked an explosion of concern, particularly in Europe, over the health and environmental impacts of these crops. Despite claims of safety and warnings against popular panic, public concern over GM crops has resulted in changes in their marketing, labeling, planting, and trade. These changes have fueled an increasingly heated debate among environmental advocates, critics of industrial agriculture, seed companies, governments, and scientists. This debate has been characterized by exaggerations of both the safety and danger of GM crops, and by attempts to suppress and avoid public discussion. This paper is the product of a discussion among an international, interdisciplinary group of scientists. Our discussion was based on the Forum articles in this issue of Conservation Ecology. These articles summarize the nature of the debate over biotechnology, describe ways to cope with potential ecological impacts of GM crops, provide insights into the cause and validity of public concern, and make suggestions on where to go from here. Our own dialogue, which was informed by these and other articles, attempts to broaden the debate and develop strategies for coping with and directing the development of biotechnology. As an interdisciplinary group, we do not try to assess the details of particular GM crops, but rather to connect the ecological, economic, and political issues that surround them. As noted by Conway (2000), Pimentel (2000), and others, the balance of evidence suggests that GM organisms have the potential to both degrade and improve the functioning of agroecosystems. Depending on which GM crops are developed and how they are used, GM crops could lead to either increases or decreases in pesticide use, the enhancement or degradation of the ecological services provided by agroecosystems, or the loss or conservation of biodiversity. However, as Conway argues, the current character of GM crop development provides cause for concern

Analysis and Scenario Planning for Fairland and Briggs Chaney, Maryland

Final project for URSP708:Community Planning Studio (Fall 2021). University of Maryland, College Park.For additional PALS research on Fairland & Briggs Chaney scenario planning, see: http://hdl.handle.net/1903/28507 .This report is the output of the Fall 2021 Urban Studies and Planning studio at the University of Maryland, College Park. Through the Partnership for Action Learning in Sustainability (PALS), our class partnered with Montgomery County’s Planning Department to provide a planning sector analysis and scenario plans to aid in the development of the new Fairland and Briggs Chaney Master Plan, which is organized and guided by the draft general plan for the county, Thrive Montgomery 2050. The scope of work included analysis of existing conditions within the plan boundaries and the provision of three scenario plans ranging from no change to high levels of change. We concentrated our attention within three thematic areas of emphasis: climate change adaptation and mitigation, economic and community development, and housing. Moreover, our central guiding principle for this project was justice; it informs everything we present here, and we hope that our work will contribute to its achievement. The report is organized into two major parts. In part I, in analysis of existing conditions, we cover a wide range of planning topics, including the history of the plan-area and special considerations related to our thematic areas of emphasis. In Part II, we present three scenarios of alternative futures for the plan-area: status quo, reform, and revolution.Montgomery County Park

MyCoast Pilot Communities

Final Project for URSP688L: Recent Developments in Urban Studies: Planning Technology (Fall 2020). University of Maryland, College Park.Maryland’s MyCoast Program is a strategic effort to anticipate and assess the impacts of flooding events across the state. MyCoast is a National program with the mission to document tides, storm damage, beach cleanups, nuisance flooding and more to allow decision makers, emergency managers, and others to use public reports to make better decisions. MyCoast: Maryland, “is a portal to collect and analyze pictures and data relating to flooding caused by precipitation or coastal events. In Maryland, this is a project supervised by the Chesapeake & Coastal Service and Maryland Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). The MyCoast: Maryland website can be found here: https://mycoast.org/md. To enhance this project’s reach in relevant locales, we set out to discern which communities in the state are most at risk for negative flooding effects. Our partner, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, asked that the project inform their roll-out of the MyCoast program in Maryland, and make sure that they reached the communities that are most at risk for flooding and might be the least able to reach those in power for assistance.Maryland Department of Natural Resourceshttps://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/24a58f32bd82437f81f80bf3abfa7e9

Exploring the Significance of Bidirectional Learning for Global Health Education

The value of bidirectional learning is emphasized both in global health and local community engagement. Conceptualizations of bidirectional learning for global health education are discussed, including implications when it is defined as mutual learning, codevelopment, or academic partnerships. Additionally, we review the relationship of bidirectional learning to different learning theories. Case studies from the field offer examples of how bidirectional learning can occur in the classroom, through academic partnerships, or both. Finally, recommendations are offered to facilitate bidirectional learning in global health education, including in identifying challenges faced by educators in lower-resourced settings who wish to offer bidirectional learning to their students through partnership with higher-resourced academic institutions
