Orientador : Prof. Msc. Fausto Weimar Acerbi JúniorMonografia (especialização) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Agrárias, Curso de Pós-graduação em Gestão FlorestalInclui referênciasResumo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal avaliar o impacto na vegetação nativa decorrente da alteração na legislação florestal em pequenas propriedades na área de proteção ambiental do Pratigi, localizada no Baixo Sul da Bahia. Foi tomada como base de apoio para delimitação das divisas das propriedades e análise da vegetação, imagens de alta resolução obtidas do Veículo Aéreo Não Tripulado (VANT) Nauru 500A, com datas entre outubro e dezembro de 2013. Foram delimitadas as Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APP) de rios, ou seja, faixas marginais de qualquer curso d’água natural perene e intermitente, excluídos os efêmeros e de áreas no entorno das nascentes e dos olhos d’água perenes, utilizando técnicas de geoprocessamento. A partir destas informações foi realizada uma análise da vegetação nativa (Mata Atlântica) identificando visualmente e quantificando-se a área de vegetação dentro das APP e, assim, comparando com a área que seria se o Código Florestal não tivesse sido alterado. Com isso foi caracterizado o impacto da mudança da Lei na vegetação nativa dentro de oito propriedades selecionadas aleatoriamente entre as que possuem área de até 80 hectares (4 módulos fiscais na região em estudo)

MOTIM – An Industrial Application Using NOCs

High-speed networks used to interconnect computers advance at an extraordinary pace, driven by the evolution of several contributing technologies. Due to the ever-increasing complexity of designing parts and equipments for these networks, design complexity management makes scalability and reusability more important issues than performance, in most cases. This paper describes MOTIM, a scalable and reusable architecture enabling the implementation of Ethernet switches with low latency and high throughput. The architecture is built around a network-on-chip-based switch fabric, which guarantees scalability. The architecture has been validated by functional simulation and prototyped in FPGAs. The experimental results show that even under severe traffic conditions the architecture achieves packet transmission with low latencies. Categories and Subject Descriptor

Mapping and Analyzing NSW Blue Network to Leverage Insights for a Competitive World

NPS NRP Technical ReportThis study’s purpose is to examine Naval Special Warfare Command’s (NAVSPECWARCOM) “blue network” and evaluate its structural strengths and weaknesses, as well as provide recommendations as to how the command can improve its ability to leverage its network and draw insights from it. This paper examines this topic from a social network perspective on social capital. Guided by extant social network research, it maps and analyzes the network’s structural patterns and assesses the extent to which it has access to critical resources and expertise from outside networks (e.g., academic and private industry). It finds that both close personal and colleague relations contribute substantially to regular communication patterns among personnel. Blue network members tend to form communication clusters as well, which can permit information and resources to transmit efficiently across them, especially in its relatively decentralized form. In fact, the command can rely on many network members to gain access to capital within the structure rather than depend heavily on a few well-connected individuals. However, about a quarter of respondents do not communicate regularly with the command, which indicates that capital may not reach the command. Furthermore, the type of capital to which the network has access varies. While it appears relatively strong in technology-based areas (e.g., innovation and artificial intelligence (AI)), it can make improvements in key substantive areas pertaining to great power competition (GPC), such as cultural and language expertise. This paper offers two broad categories of recommendations: namely, practices and information collection and storage procedures. Recommendations include maintaining an entrepreneurial mentality but improving formal communication, facilitating the creation of “short-cuts” among affiliated institutions, tasking personnel to target key resource gaps, immediately establishing contacts with experts in key areas, collecting blue network and resource data, and leveraging information systems for information storage.Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM)N7 - Warfighting DevelopmentThis research is supported by funding from the Naval Postgraduate School, Naval Research Program (PE 0605853N/2098). https://nps.edu/nrpChief of Naval Operations (CNO)Approved for public release.

Tecnologias Digitais na Educação Básica

No âmbito deste estudo, derivado de uma dissertação, é abordada a significância da integração das Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) no contexto do ensino de química, salientando-se que tais recursos tecnológicos conferem maior atratividade e dinamismo às atividades de ensino. O objetivo da pesquisa se concentra na análise das concepções e percepções discentes no que concerne à incorporação das TDIC nas aulas de química. Este estudo, de natureza básica e abordagem qualitativa, foi conduzido junto a 20 discentes do curso de formação de docentes de uma instituição de ensino pública, no Estado do Paraná. A construção de dados deu-se mediante a utilização de um questionário semiestruturado, cujas respostas foram submetidas a uma análise descritiva-analítica. Os resultados revelaram a aspiração dos alunos por uma abordagem pedagógica pautada na utilização de recursos tecnológicos nas aulas de química, uma vez que tais recursos são pouco explorados durante o ensino. Especificamente, 75% dos participantes indicaram preferência pela "Explicação no quadro e exercícios" como os recursos que consideram pertinente para otimizar a aprendizagem em sala de aula. Tal preferência, embora compreensível devido à prevalência desses métodos tradicionais nas aulas de química, evidencia a necessidade de transformação desse cenário. Apesar da escassa exposição dos alunos às TDIC no contexto escolar, é perceptível o anseio por uma abordagem didática mais dinâmica, que integre jogos tecnológicos, aplicativos e software

O corpo humano como alimento para a sexualidade

The present article depicts a theoretical walk, based on a historical and cultural narrative, that presents the body as a central element in the formatting and construction of human sexuality. Such walk intuits to show some projections, thoughts and materialization which ascertained the physical beauty as a promoter of desires, intentions and erotic feelings, in favor of an announced sexuality and common sense as ideal. The objective was also discuss, how the physical body aesthetic has been the driving force for configuring standard discourses on sexuality, distorting the idea that only the similar bodies to the hegemonic body models can be considered as object of desire, pleasure, and sexual and erotic practices. Finally, it learns that the body can also be admitted as an instrument to subvert the predetermined logic that body, beauty and sexual practices appear to form a triad in favor of the myth of perfect or performative sexuality. As the bodies (all of them) has been recognized by the community as promoters of pleasures, desires and foundation for effective practices and sexual/erotic routines, regardless of their physiological, anatomical and aesthetic formatting.O presente artigo retrata uma caminhada teórica com vistas à enunciação de uma narrativa histórica e cultural que apresenta o corpo como elemento central na formatação e construção da sexualidade humana. Tal caminhada intui evidenciar algumas projeções, pensamentos e materializações que permitiram definir a beleza corporal como promotora de desejos, intencionalidades e sensações eróticas em favor de uma sexualidade anunciada no e pelo senso comum como ideal. Objetivou-se, ainda, problematizar a maneira como a estética físico-corpórea tem servido de mola propulsora para a configuração de discursos cristalizados sobre a sexualidade, falseando a ideia de que apenas os corpos alinhados com os modelos corporais hegemônicos podem ser considerados objeto de desejo, prazer e de práticas sexuais e eróticas. Por fim, apreende-se que o corpo também pode ser admitido como instrumento capaz de subverter a lógica preestabelecida em que: corpo, beleza e práticas sexuais parecem formar uma tríade em favor do mito da sexualidade perfeita ou performática, na medida em que os corpos (todos eles) sejam reconhecidos pela coletividade como promotores de prazeres, desejos e sustentáculo para práticas afetivas e rotinas sexuais/eróticas, independentemente de suas formatações fisiológicas, anatômicas e estéticas
