Leopoldo : o encontro feliz

Este é um escrito memorialístico. Move-se, pois, no plano histórico e sentimental, para recordar um dos maiores antropólogos latinoamericanos: o notável Professor Leopoldo Bartolomé. Neste sentido, trata de recordá-lo em sua estatura profundamente humana; em sua fina erudição, como estudioso; na especial capacidade demiúrgica, reiteradas vezes demonstrada, tanto no meio acadêmico, quanto no mundo social. Referese a Leopoldo Bartolomé tal como este se revelou e distinguiu, seja pelos seus feitos notáveis como consultor, seja pelo seu brilhante destino, que o tornou mestre inexcedível do ofício de antropólogo, além de intelectual admirado pelo seu extenso saber e pelo fascínio de sua sempre amável presenç

Component Based Systems Development Adoption and Diffusion

Component Based Development (CBD) has caught the attention of academics and practitioners alike. Building upon sound Object-Oriented principles, CDB has a strong conceptual foundation as well as extensive practical orientation and application. CBD approaches promise the potential to deliver quality systems in a short period of time with opportunities for component reuse to further reduce cost that seems especially appropriate for the myriad of e-business systems that are a focal point of many organizations’ contemporary systems development portfolios. Indeed, numerous commercial organizations are supplying components that can be relatively easily integrated to create cost-effective systems. Interestingly, however, CBD is currently not applied extensively. The prospective reasons are many. Management is currently ill-informed and not committed to the CBD approach as they often lack knowledge of the benefits of adopting CBD. Further, many system developers, system analysts and programmers are not aware of CBD issues and opportunities. Possible reasons could be that they received their software education a long time ago (e.g. five or ten years ago or more), and are only familiar with traditional approaches. There is also considerable confusion with regard to component granularity and CBD focus. To some, the focus is on creating the components while to others, the focus is on creating systems by integrating components. A question exists as to the role of education and research given this situation. Numerous opportunities exist for academics to play a leading role in creating awareness and removing uncertainties in exploring CBD concepts and application. However, little attention is currently being given to CBD, especially in teaching. Like IS professionals, many educators are hesitant to change from traditional development perspectives currently being taught as they face faculty development challenges. By in large, few have had experience in this area and easily fall back to what they learned historically. Further, there is a dearth of textbooks and educational material available to assist academic in the teaching process. Research seems to be fragmented and lacking coherency in focus. Research, teaching and practice all seem to be going in different directions

A tragédia da Piedade : o grande drama da República

A “tragédia da Piedade”, o grande drama social republicano do início do século XX, que envolveu toda a sociedade brasileira de 1909, é o objeto desta pesquisa, cujo tema é o valor da honra. O cenário dessa tragédia foi o Rio de Janeiro, então capital do Brasil, e seu palco, o subúrbio da Piedade. O escritor Euclides da Cunha foi uma das dramatis personae do acontecimento, ao lado da sua esposa, Anna Emília, e do amante dela, Dilermando de Assis. Euclides, famoso pelo seu opus magnum Os sertões : campanha de Canudos, diante da traição de sua esposa, tomou a decisão de lavar sua honra com sangue. No duelo, contudo, foi morto por Dilermando. O homicídio do marido traído pelo amante de sua esposa tornou-se um escândalo, suscitando, como problema de pesquisa, o custo social do valor da honra.This article is about the ‘tragédia da Piedade’. Its main theme is honor and its social costs. It analyzes a criminal case which happened in Brazil at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the Republican regime was just finishing its first decade of existence. The dramatis personae of the tragedy involved Brazil’s most famous writer, Euclides da Cunha, the renowned author of Os Sertões: Campanha de Canudos. He lived in a society which was changing, and where patriarchal tradition and State Law coexisted side-by-side. When Euclides’ wife, Anna Emília, betrayed him, he reacted as a traditional male would have done. He decided to wash his honor with blood. But, in the showdown with the young lover of his wife, Dilermando de Assis, he was killed by his opponent, unleashing a full-blown social drama which shook the very foundations of the whole society of Rio de Janeiro, the capital of Brazil at the time. The case, which reached its peak in a neighborhood called ‘Piedade’, became something of a national scandal about honor and shame, guilt and vengeance

Zur Beschäftigungsentwicklung in der Region Hannover – Ein Vergleich mit 12 deutschen Verdichtungsräumen

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die Beschäftigungsentwicklung in der Region Hannover für den Zeitraum 1999 bis 2006 und stellt sie zwölf weiteren deutschen Verdichtungsräumen gegenüber. Unter Verwendung des Betriebs-Historik-Panels des Institutes für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) werden neben der Beschäftigungsentwicklung im Aggregat auch die dahinter liegenden Bruttoströme analysiert um somit auch Aussagen über die Dynamik der Beschäftigungsentwicklung treffen zu können. Insgesamt1 weist die Region Hannover zwischen 1999 und 2006 ein Nettobeschäftigungswachstum von 2,2 Prozent auf, was mit Blick auf die Vergleichsregionen als relativ ungünstig einzuschätzen ist. Zieht man die Bruttoströme zur Betrachtung hinzu, wird deutlich, dass hinter der relativ geringen Nettowachstumsrate eine beachtliche Dynamik an Beschäftigungsauf- und -abbau steht. So weist die Region Hannover eine Bruttowachstumsrate der Beschäftigung von 35,1 Prozent sowie eine Bruttoabbaurate der Beschäftigung von -32,9 Prozent auf. Im Vergleich zu den anderen Verdichtungsräumen zeigt sich, dass die relativ ungünstige Nettobeschäftigungsentwicklung in der Region Hannover insbesondere auf eine vergleichsweise geringe Bruttowachstumsrate zurückzuführen ist.Region Hannover, Beschäftigungsentwicklung, Paneldaten

An Efficient, Movable Single-Particle Detector for Use in Cryogenic Ultra-High Vacuum Environments

A compact, highly efficient single-particle counting detector for ions of keV/u kinetic energy, movable by a long-stroke mechanical translation stage, has been developed at the Max-Planck-Institut f\"ur Kernphysik (Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, MPIK). Both, detector and translation mechanics, can operate at ambient temperatures down to $\sim$ 10 K and consist fully of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) compatible, high-temperature bakeable and non-magnetic materials. The set-up is designed to meet the technical demands of MPIK's Cryogenic Storage Ring (CSR). We present a series of functional tests that demonstrate full suitability for this application and characterise the set-up with regard to its particle detection efficiency.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, version accepted for publication in Review of Scientific Instrument

Lógica politécnica versus fisiocracia agreste: conflitos em torno da gestão ambiental num ecossistema no litoral fluminense

Este artigo busca descrever e analisar a atividade da pesca artesanal no município de Maricá (RJ), para chegar, finalmente, à discussão dos impactos socioambientais da expansão da Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro sobre suas lagunas e restingas. O registro da evolução histórica da paisagem de Maricá, a partir da literatura dos viajantes – naturalistas e geógrafos–, desde o século XIX, constitui, juntamente com uma ampla discussão da natureza, dinâmica e perspectivas dos ambientes lacustres fluminenses, o cerne da proposta para uma etnografia de seu manejo, pelas comunidades de pescadores e pela engenharia sanitária e urbana, com suas distintas, conflitantes e concorrentes concepções dos mecanismos de seu funcionamento (estagnação versus circulação); nesse caso, analisa-se a relação do conjunto de lagunas como mar, ou seja, a questão das barras oceânicas permanentes versus barras oceânicas sazonais
