    To meet the increasing demands of the complex inter-organizational processes and the demand for continuous innovation and internationalization, it is evident that new forms of organisation are being adopted, fostering more intensive collaboration processes and sharing of resources, in what can be called collaborative networks (Camarinha-Matos, 2006:03). Information and knowledge are crucial resources in collaborative networks, being their management fundamental processes to optimize. Knowledge organisation and collaboration systems are thus important instruments for the success of collaborative networks of organisations having been researched in the last decade in the areas of computer science, information science, management sciences, terminology and linguistics. Nevertheless, research in this area didn’t give much attention to multilingual contexts of collaboration, which pose specific and challenging problems. It is then clear that access to and representation of knowledge will happen more and more on a multilingual setting which implies the overcoming of difficulties inherent to the presence of multiple languages, through the use of processes like localization of ontologies. Although localization, like other processes that involve multilingualism, is a rather well-developed practice and its methodologies and tools fruitfully employed by the language industry in the development and adaptation of multilingual content, it has not yet been sufficiently explored as an element of support to the development of knowledge representations - in particular ontologies - expressed in more than one language. Multilingual knowledge representation is then an open research area calling for cross-contributions from knowledge engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences. This workshop joined researchers interested in multilingual knowledge representation, in a multidisciplinary environment to debate the possibilities of cross-fertilization between knowledge engineering, terminology, ontology engineering, cognitive sciences, computational linguistics, natural language processing, and management sciences applied to contexts where multilingualism continuously creates new and demanding challenges to current knowledge representation methods and techniques. In this workshop six papers dealing with different approaches to multilingual knowledge representation are presented, most of them describing tools, approaches and results obtained in the development of ongoing projects. In the first case, Andrés Domínguez Burgos, Koen Kerremansa and Rita Temmerman present a software module that is part of a workbench for terminological and ontological mining, Termontospider, a wiki crawler that aims at optimally traverse Wikipedia in search of domainspecific texts for extracting terminological and ontological information. The crawler is part of a tool suite for automatically developing multilingual termontological databases, i.e. ontologicallyunderpinned multilingual terminological databases. In this paper the authors describe the basic principles behind the crawler and summarized the research setting in which the tool is currently tested. In the second paper, Fumiko Kano presents a work comparing four feature-based similarity measures derived from cognitive sciences. The purpose of the comparative analysis presented by the author is to verify the potentially most effective model that can be applied for mapping independent ontologies in a culturally influenced domain. For that, datasets based on standardized pre-defined feature dimensions and values, which are obtainable from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) have been used for the comparative analysis of the similarity measures. The purpose of the comparison is to verify the similarity measures based on the objectively developed datasets. According to the author the results demonstrate that the Bayesian Model of Generalization provides for the most effective cognitive model for identifying the most similar corresponding concepts existing for a targeted socio-cultural community. In another presentation, Thierry Declerck, Hans-Ulrich Krieger and Dagmar Gromann present an ongoing work and propose an approach to automatic extraction of information from multilingual financial Web resources, to provide candidate terms for building ontology elements or instances of ontology concepts. The authors present a complementary approach to the direct localization/translation of ontology labels, by acquiring terminologies through the access and harvesting of multilingual Web presences of structured information providers in the field of finance, leading to both the detection of candidate terms in various multilingual sources in the financial domain that can be used not only as labels of ontology classes and properties but also for the possible generation of (multilingual) domain ontologies themselves. In the next paper, Manuel Silva, António Lucas Soares and Rute Costa claim that despite the availability of tools, resources and techniques aimed at the construction of ontological artifacts, developing a shared conceptualization of a given reality still raises questions about the principles and methods that support the initial phases of conceptualization. These questions become, according to the authors, more complex when the conceptualization occurs in a multilingual setting. To tackle these issues the authors present a collaborative platform – conceptME - where terminological and knowledge representation processes support domain experts throughout a conceptualization framework, allowing the inclusion of multilingual data as a way to promote knowledge sharing and enhance conceptualization and support a multilingual ontology specification. In another presentation Frieda Steurs and Hendrik J. Kockaert present us TermWise, a large project dealing with legal terminology and phraseology for the Belgian public services, i.e. the translation office of the ministry of justice, a project which aims at developing an advanced tool including expert knowledge in the algorithms that extract specialized language from textual data (legal documents) and whose outcome is a knowledge database including Dutch/French equivalents for legal concepts, enriched with the phraseology related to the terms under discussion. Finally, Deborah Grbac, Luca Losito, Andrea Sada and Paolo Sirito report on the preliminary results of a pilot project currently ongoing at UCSC Central Library, where they propose to adapt to subject librarians, employed in large and multilingual Academic Institutions, the model used by translators working within European Union Institutions. The authors are using User Experience (UX) Analysis in order to provide subject librarians with a visual support, by means of “ontology tables” depicting conceptual linking and connections of words with concepts presented according to their semantic and linguistic meaning. The organizers hope that the selection of papers presented here will be of interest to a broad audience, and will be a starting point for further discussion and cooperation

    Mudanças na arquitetura hidráulica e anatomia de lenhosas de cerrado sentido restrito sob adição de nutrientes ao solo

    Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, Departamento de Ecologia, 2019.A vegetação da savana brasileira (Cerrado) é altamente diversificada e principalmente distribuída sobre solos distróficos, tornando a disponibilidade de nutrientes um recurso limitante. Os processos de absorção de nutrientes e assimilação de carbono são conectados por meio do transporte hídrico. Se, por um lado, há evidências em algumas espécies de que a retirada a limitação nutricional resultou em aumento no crescimento com otimização do transporte hídrico e diminuição na condutância estomática, faltam estudos para entender como mecanismos anatômicos podem explicar tais respostas e se os padrões são os mesmos ao avaliar por espécie ou de forma agregada. A fim de preencher estas lacunas foram avaliados os efeitos das adições de nutrientes sobre as características morfo-anatômicas associadas às respostas hidráulicas em cinco espécies de lenhosas dominantes de um cerrado típico e com diferentes fenologias foliares (sempre verdes, brevidecíduas e decídua). Testouse a hipótese de que as adições de nitrogênio (N), fósforo (P) e N+P alteram a química do solo e causam ajustes estruturais anatômicos que minimizam a perda de água, uma vez que o transporte de água aumenta em decorrência do crescimento dos vasos xilemáticos. Consequentemente, havendo um aumento da vulnerabilidade à cavitação devido aos limites de segurança hídrica em condições de mudanças na eficiência do uso de água. Avaliou-se a arquitetura hidráulica, a anatomia foliar e do xilema comparando indivíduos em parcelas não fertilizadas e fertilizadas durante a estação chuvosa. A umidade do solo foi significativamente menor nas parcelas N+P e P. A umidade do solo combinada à adição de nutrientes influenciou as características hidráulicas em nível anatômico, aumentando o lúmen dos vasos do xilema. Consequentemente a condutividade específica teórica do xilema (Ktx) mostrou aumento em indivíduos de parcelas fertilizadas, principalmente com N+P e P em quatro das cinco espécies estudadas. Outra indicação de ajuste hidráulico foi a diminuição do índice de poro do estômato (IPE) com respostas espécie-específicas quanto à eficiência intrínseca do uso da água (iEUA). Quatro das cinco espécies estudadas apresentaram maior índice de vulnerabilidade a cavitação (lvul) sob fertilização N+P e P. Avaliando as espécies de forma agregada, a condutividade específica teórica do xilema (Ktx) mostrou efeito positivo da fertilizadas. Por outro lado, o IPE foi negativamente afetado pela fertilização. A vulnerabilidade a cavitação (lvul) não foi relevante na abordagem agregada, enquanto a iEUA diminuiu sob fertilização. Assim, a adição de nutrientes alterou a arquitetura hidráulica, principalmente em nível anatômico com aumento das estruturas relacionadas ao transporte de água no xilema e diminuição das estruturas anatômicas relacionadas à transpiração.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES).The vegetation of the Brazilian savannah (Cerrado) is highly diversified and mainly distributed over dystrophic soils, making the availability of nutrients a limiting resource. The processes of nutrient absorption and carbon assimilation are connected through water conduction system. Once, there is evidence in some species that the removal of the nutritional limitation resulted in an increase in growth with optimization of water transport and a decrease in stomatal conductance, lacking studies to understand anatomical mechanisms explain such responses and if the patterns are the same when assessing by species or in aggregate form. In order to fill these gaps, the effects of nutrient additions on the morpho-anatomic characteristics associated with hydraulic responses were evaluated in five dominant woody species in a typical cerrado with different leaf phenologies (evergreen, brevideciduous and deciduous). We tested the hypothesis that the additions of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and N+P change the soil chemistry and cause anatomical structural adjustments that minimize water loss, since water transport increases as a result of the growth of xylemic vessels. Consequently, there would be an increased vulnerability to cavitation due to water safety limits under changing water use efficiency conditions. Hydraulic architecture, leaf and xylem anatomy were evaluated by comparing individuals in unfertilized and fertilized plots during the rainy season. Soil moisture was significantly lower in the N+P and P plots. Soil moisture combined with the addition of nutrients influenced the hydraulic characteristics at the anatomical level, increasing the lumen of the xylem vessels. Consequently, the theoretical specific conductivity of the xylem (Ktx) showed an increase in individuals from fertilized plots, mainly with N+P and P in four of the five studied species. Another indication of hydraulic adjustment was the decrease in the stomatal pore index (SPI) with species-specific responses regarding the intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Four of the five studied species had a higher vulnerability index to cavitation (lvul) under N+P and P fertilization. Evaluating the species in aggregate form, the specific theoretical conductivity of the xylem (Ktx) showed a positive effect of fertilization. On the other hand, SPI was negatively affected by fertilization. Vulnerability to cavitation (lvul) was not relevant in the aggregate approach, while iWUE decreased under fertilization. Thus, the addition of nutrients altered the hydraulic architecture, mainly at the anatomical level with an increase in the structures related to water transport in the xylem and a decrease in the anatomical structures related to transpiration

    Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Economia, Administração, Contabilidade e Gestão de Políticas Públicas, Departamento de Administração, 2019.A homossexualidade é um tema que vem crescendo nos diferentes campos de pesquisa, no entanto, o preconceito e a discriminação permanecem sendo um obstáculo para inclusão e garantia de emprego para os LGBTs. Este estudo teve como objetivo o levantamento dos principais desafios vivenciados pelos homossexuais nas organizações em função da sua orientação sexual e, as estratégias utilizadas para omissão da sexualidade do indivíduo. Buscou-se também analisar as políticas e ações propostas pelas empresas na tentativa de coibir práticas discriminatórias e, os mecanismos de conscientização dos funcionários e da sociedade através de seus regimentos internos e dos seus canais de divulgação. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, utilizando um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado para coleta de dados. Foram entrevistados oito homens, funcionários de empresas públicas, privadas e de economia mista no Distrito Federal e em seguida utilizou-se a técnica análise de conteúdo. A análise identificou que apesar dos avanços sociais, a homossexualidade ainda é vista como uma característica negativa pelas organizações, em decorrência dessa visão distorcida, os gays são expostos a situações de exclusão, isolamento e humilhação, além de utilizarem a sexualidade do indivíduo como forma de desvalorização e desqualificação do profissional. Contudo, grande parte desse preconceito dá -se de maneira velada e caracterizada como humor e brincadeira.Homosexuality is a topic that has been growing in the different fields of research, however, prejudice and discrimination remain an obstacle to inclusion and job security for LGBTs. This study aimed at surveying the main challenges faced by homosexuals in organizations based on their sexual orientation and the strategies used to omit the individual's sexuality. It also sought to analyze the policies and actions proposed by companies in an attempt to curb discriminatory practices and the mechanisms for raising awareness among employees and society through its internal regulations and its channels of dissemination. For this, a descriptive and exploratory research was carried out, using a semi-structured interview script for data collection. Eight men, employees of public, private and mixed-economy companies in Distrito Federal were interviewed and then the technique of content analysis was used. The analysis identified that despite social advances, homosexuality is still seen as a negative feature by organizations, as a result of this distorted view, gays are exposed to situations of exclusion, isolation and humiliation, in addition to using the individual's sexuality as a form of devaluation and disqualification of the professional. However, much of this prejudice is veiled and characterized as humor and joke

    A hidrelétrica Belo Monte causou o deslocamento territorial dos ribeirinhos que habitavam as ilhas ao longo do rio Xingu. Com a interrupção dos modos de vida, passaram a lutar pela reconstrução do território. O objetivo do presente artigo foi realizar um diagnóstico dos agroecossistemas ribeirinhos na região Xingu    e    identificar    o   seu papel na  conservação da biodiversidade. Realizaram-se pesquisa de campo nas comunidades com entrevistas, turnês guiadas e levantamento etnobotânico. Participaram 71 unidades familiares, das quais 42 estavam reassentadas em 10 comunidades, perfazendo a amostra da presente análise. Observou-se diversidade de campos manejados, de espécies vegetais e animais, de trabalho e de produtos em cada agroecossistema familiar. Os ribeirinhos estão plantando agrobiodiversidade, que é parte vital da biodiversidade. Identificaram-se 93 espécies de plantas alimentícias, conservadas em espaços agroflorestais. O território garantido na beira do rio é o grande precursor para a formação dos agroecossistemas.The construction of Belo Monte hydroelectric powerplant caused the eviction of riverine populations who inhabited the islands along Xingu River. Ever since their lifestyle has changed, they have been struggling to rebuild their territories in Xingu region. The goal of this work was to carry out a diagnosis of the agroecosystems formed by the resettled riverine families and to identify their role in the conservation of biodiversity. A field research    was    carried     out    in   local   communities encompassing interviews, guided tours and an ethnobotanical survey. A total of 71 family units took part in this study, and 42 of them were resettled in 10 communities, representing the analyzed sample. We reported a high diversity of crops, managed plants and animals, as well as work strategies and products in each family involved in agroecosystems. We identified 93 species of food plants, preserved in agroforestry areas. The riverine communities are directly related to agrobiodiversity, which is a vital part of biodiversity. Therefore, assuring their territories is an efficient precursor for the formation of agroecosystems.La hidroeléctrica de Belo Monte provocó el desplazamiento territorial de las comunidades ribereñas que habitaban las islas a lo largo del río Xingú.

    This article aims to discuss how the city can be read through its obsolete spaces. Taking as a starting point the representative case of Fortaleza, a tourist center published in the media with its buildings with smooth and shiny facades on the waterfront, we resort to its counter-image, the degraded and forgotten parts of the great urban narrative. Fortaleza, then, as a fortress of buildings that rises against the city and the remains as gaps that resist to stay in the landscape. The study proceeds with a brief incursion into artistic practices that elucidate issues related to the theme of remains and what they can tell us, to broaden the debate about the specific focus of Fortaleza. Based on the analysis of the paradigmatic work of Gordon Matta-Clark and of more recent works by Ximena Garrido-Lecca and Lara Almarcegui, it is understood that the questions raised in the field of Art are fundamental for the resumption of the category of remains in the debate on the ongoing processes in large metropolises. Thus, from the study of the gaps in the wall-fortress cities, new fields of reflection necessary for the proposition are raised.Este artículo tiene como objetivo discutir cómo la ciudad puede ser leída a través de sus espacios obsoletos. Tomando como punto de partida el caso representativo de Fortaleza, un polo turístico publicado en los medios con sus edificios de fachadas lisas y brillantes frente al mar, recurrimos a su contraimagen, las partes degradadas y olvidadas de la gran narrativa urbana. Fortaleza, entonces, como una fortaleza de edificaciones que se levanta contra la ciudad y los restos como huecos que se resisten a permanecer en el paisaje. El estudio procede con una breve incursión en las prácticas artísticas que dilucidan cuestiones relacionadas con el tema de los restos y lo que pueden decirnos, para ampliar el debate sobre el enfoque específico de Fortaleza. A partir del análisis de la obra paradigmática de Gordon Matta-Clark y de trabajos más recientes de Ximena Garrido-Lecca y Lara Almarcegui, se entiende que las cuestiones planteadas en el campo del Arte son fundamentales para la reanudación de la categoría de restos en el debate sobre los procesos en curso en las grandes metrópolis. Así, a partir del estudio de los huecos en las ciudades fortaleza-muralla, se plantean nuevos campos de reflexión necesarios para la proposición.Este artigo tem como objetivo discorrer sobre o modo como a cidade pode ser lida por meio dos seus espaços obsoletos.

Fortaleza, então, como uma fortaleza de prédios que se ergue avessa à cidade e os restos como lacunas que resistem em permanecer na paisagem. O estudo prossegue em uma breve incursão sobre práticas artísticas que elucidam questões relativas à temática dos restos e o que eles podem nos contar, para ampliar o debate acerca do recorte específico de Fortaleza. Com base na análise da obra paradigmática de Gordon Matta-Clark e de trabalhos mais recentes de Ximena Garrido-Lecca e Lara Almarcegui, compreende-se que as questões enunciadas no campo da Arte são fundamentais para a retomada da categoria dos restos no debate sobre os processos em curso nas grandes metrópoles.

    Building and construction companies have to continuously renew their working habits in order to face an increasing competitive environment where flexibility and adaptability to change are the obliged route to success. As Ceton (2000) states, the increasingly widespread use of computers only serves, as it is generally recognized, to highlight the fragmented way that building projects are commenced, designs created and realized, construction carried through to completion, and buildings maintained, renovated, and ultimately demolished. All too often lost information and miscommunication complicate these operations.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Integrating terminological methods in a framework for collaborative development of semi-formal ontologies

    Get PDF
    Despite the availability of tools, resources and techniques aimed at the construction of ontological artifacts, developing a shared conceptualization of a given reality still raises questions about the principles and methods that support the initial phases of conceptualization. To tackle this issue a collaborative platform was developed where terminological and knowledge representation processes support domain experts throughout a conceptualization framework. In this article we describe the integration of a terminological method to support experts in eliciting and organizing concepts of their domain. The method is based on a linguistic analysis of textual resources with the help of a term extraction tool and by highlighting markers of relations between concepts. An application scenario is then presented to illustrate the connection between the terminological processes and the knowledge representation processes without blurring the theoretical distinction between terms and concepts.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
