Entre autoritarismo e diálogo: a democracia como processo na gestão escolar
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2013-01-28) Gomes, Ronaldo Martins; Luiz, Maria Cecília; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7425361719028650
This dissertation aimed to understand the relationship between public school and democracy, mediated by democratic management, the perspective of school managers, believing that democratic development in society comes through participation spaces, with decisions. It reflected on the importance of democracy and its significance in the context of school relations, taking into account that it is an epistemological problem as much as a political enigma seizing axes articulators of public policy. Had the mainspring three concerns: the extent to which the managers interviewed established democratic practices in school management? In what areas? How these practices were considered democratic, and how they strengthened? In the empirical part we selected a city located in São Paulo, midsize, called Rio Claro. It set up a sample of ten managers, with whom semi-structured interviews were conducted. Presented a study on democracy, from the economic, political and social that characterize modernity, with reflections on modern liberal democracy; Theory of Communicative Action and the transformations that characterize modernity, according to Jurgen Habermas, and a panorama of relations that characterize the formation of the state and of Brazilian politics. It was understood that the managers interviewed were creating democratic practices in school management, to stimulate dialogue and hosting, while listening demands, respect for differences, singularities and interests in the school daily, to share decisions and responsibilities to respect the limits of the functions and duties of a member in the hierarchy of the workplace, to pursue work together, the use of "instruments" as simple questionnaire for families of students, the flexibility of schedules to attendance of parents and family, participation and training partnership between school and family for the benefit of students, the collective construction of PPP as an approximation between the school and community. These actions allowed us to understand how managers understood to be enabling democratic practices in school, the school administration and school linking democracy. The spaces for these actions were: meetings HTPC; APM meetings, meetings with parents or guardians; "politics of coffee" etc.. Despite the respondents did not indicate a reference or a theorist of democracy in particular, it was possible to see that realized, procedurally, a democratic relationship within the school and interpersonal relationships.
Qualidade da informação: o caso da organização prestadora de serviços baseados em informação
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2013-01-28) Silva, Antonio Carlos Santos; Amaral, Roniberto Morato do; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6958372164719600; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5499233462344572
Information has become essential for organizational performance and more rational and sustainable decision-making about work processes and competitive in the organizational context. Based on the quality model presented by Albrecht (1999), this work has the general objective of developing and applying a system for the diagnosis and evaluation of the quality of information in the organizational context. To achieve this objective, the exploratory case study research method was used and the case unit was an organization providing information-based services, located in the city of São Carlos-SP. The results obtained were: 1] proposal of a systematic for the diagnosis and evaluation of the quality of the information in the organizational context; 2] Mapping the information flow of the case unit; 3] Identification of key jobs and their information needs; 4] Collection and analysis of the workers' perceptions of the case unit about information quality. It is concluded based on the results achieved, that the knowledge generated in this work can contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of the performance of organizations that provide information-based services by providing a system that enables the diagnosis and assessment of the quality of information in the organizational context.
Efeitos do treinamento muscular inspiratório e da cinesioterapia respiratória na capacidade de exercício, sincronia tóraco-abdominal e na função muscular respiratória em pacientes com DPOC

The present thesis has a result three studies in which the aims were: Study I To propose an assessment method of inspiratory muscle endurance (IME) using the traditional manuvacuometry and the PowerBreathe® device. Moreover, the aim was to verify its viability in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and healthy. Study II To compare the inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and respiratory exercise (RE) effects associated with physical training (PT) regarding to strength and endurance gain of inspiratory muscles, thoracoabdominal mobility, physical exercise capacity and dyspnea during physical efforts in patients with COPD. In additional, it was to verify if there is a relation of changing gained post training among these variables. Study III To verify if the IMT and/or RE modality associated to PT can provide changes in inspiratory muscle strength, in thoracoabdominal asynchronism and dyspnea at rest and during unsupported upper limb (UL) exercises. Additionally, it was to verify if there is a difference between these both technics modalities. The total sample was composed of 19 healthy subjects and 25 patients with COPD; 13 in the GPT+IMT group and 12 in the GPT+RE. All subjects were assessed before and after training by spirometry; measures of maximum inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory pressures (MEP), IME test, in which was determined the sustained maximum inspiratory pressure (SMIP) and the limit time (Tlim), cirtometry, sixminute walking test (6MWT) and treadmill exercise test (TT). Moreover, reported the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) and the assessment of respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP). The IME test was well tolerated. The MIP, MIP %pred, SMIP and SMIP/MIP values were significant lower (p<0.05) in patient with COPD. There was no significant difference between COPD and healthy subjects regarding to Tlim. In the GPT+IMT the MIP, SMIP, abdominal mobility values were significant higher (p<0.05); and, the dyspnea was significantly lower in the 6MWTpeak, TT and mMRC post treatment. However, in both groups there was a significant rise of MIP and SMIP, thoracoabdominal mobility, 6MWD and inclination at TT; and, fall of dyspnea at 6MWTpeak (p<0.05). Only in the GPT+IMT there was a decreased of thoracoabdominal asynchronism at rest and during UL exercises. The PowerBreathe® device associated with the manovacuometry makes acceptable the IME test in patients with COPD and healthy subjects, specially using the incremental load. Both technics increased the exercise capacity and decrease dyspnea at efforts clinically significant. Although, due to the training specificity, only the IMT group was able to improve the inspiratory strength and endurance, which results in a pronounced reduction of dyspnea and thoracoabdominal asynchronism at rest and during UL exercises.
