This research aims to identify and analyze the barriers to the growth of companies from Information and Communication Technology sector in Ribeirão Preto, seeking to identify alternatives to improve the sustainability and performance of these companies. As a theoretical guideline, the perspectives of Resource Based View and Resource Dependency Theory were addressed, as well as the concepts of factors relevant to the growth of the organizations pointed out in the literature. To this end, a triangulation of methods was adopted, with a qualitative and quantitative approaches, with interviews with five experts from the ICT sector and a survey with technology-based companies based in the metropolitan area of Ribeirão Preto. The survey was carried out using a Likert scale questionnaire applied to a sample of 30 technology-based companies, drawn from 70 ICT companies located in that region. For the data treatment, the techniques of descriptive statistics as well as Principal Component Analysis and Regression Analysis were used to identify what affects a company's billing, with the proposition of two hypotheses. Also for the analysis of the opinions of the specialists was made the content analysis. The questionnaire evaluated 33 growth factors (variables), distributed in six categories: internal barriers related to the individual; internal barriers related to organization; external barriers related to government policies; external barriers related to educational quality; external barriers related to technological infrastructure; external barriers related to the business environment. The results indicate that the barriers to the growth of ICT companies in this region are mainly focused on the low qualification of professionals, and the lack of public incentives and the lack of integration between companies in the sector and universities in the search for the strengthening of the entrepreneurial ICT ecosystem in that region. Finally, in order to counter the barriers presented, the solution pointed out by the entrepreneurs is the cooperation between private companies in order to create joint alternatives to the problems common to all, and, ultimately, to pressure the public power to make the necessary changes. It became clear, therefore, that the entrepreneurial ICT ecosystem in the Ribeirão Preto region still has much to evolve and conquer, but the initiatives are being organized and the future is promising.
Percepções e análise das ações desenvolvidas no contexto das políticas públicas de agroecologia do Núcleo Apetê Caapuã da UFSCar, Sorocaba (SP)
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-12-19) Saravalle, Caio Yamazaki; Abreu, Lucimar Santiago de; https://lattes.cnpq.br/7025928931374268; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1703500454643589
Despite the current importance of the Agroecology Studies Nuclei strengthening problematic and the sociotechnical networks, until now it has been little studied. The Nuclei are a recent public policy whose main instrument has been the public calls. It is necessary to incorporate the perceptions of the subjects of public policies in studies, since they are directly related to the phenomenon. Therefore, the research objectives are: a characterization of the social universe of the socio-technical network of the Apetê Caapuã Nucleus of UFSCar Sorocaba (SP); the description of the network actions as a result of public policies and projects accessed; description and evaluation of the members' perceptions about the actions developed and agroecology itself. We conducted semi-structured interviews, application of online questionnaire and participant observation in group key meetings. The projects developed from the CNPq, PET, PROEXT and ProEx calls were systematized, as well as the identification of the subjects' perceptions about the projects and their conception of agroecology. It is concluded that only the calls are not enough for the maintenance of the Nucleus, being important the articulation between the policies for the sustainability of the network. The group's perception of the policies is in line with its conception of agroecology, and the main challenges pointed out are the lack of enough time for the agroecological transition, as well as the scarce resources for the viability of an agroecological assistance. However, they contribute to the construction of agroecological knowledge. Therefore, calls are important but fragile instruments that depend on government, and are not a consolidated State policy.
A atenção domiciliar como dispositivo para a estruturação da rede de atenção à saúde: o caso do município de Araraquara - SP
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-12-19) Bernardes, Anne Karoline Cândido e Silva; Figueiredo, Wagner dos Santos; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5780408703746760; https://lattes.cnpq.br/2733020570310175
Introduction: The demand for homecare (AD) is increasing due to the accelerated demographic and epidemiological transition throughout Brazil. The AD is part of the practice of various services within the network of Attention to Health. While health model should produce caution and completeness in the various levels of intensity of care. Objective: To understand the contribution of AD as a device in the structuring of the Health Care Network in the city of Araraquara, situated in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Methods: a case study of a methodological proposal for a qualitative approach. We used the interviews to 14 health workers of the municipality's primary network, between August 2016 and April 2017. Used the content analysis by means of the separation of empirical categories. The categories were analyzed: Network of Attention to Health; Homecare; Basic Care and homecare and finally, the Homecare in the network of attention. This study was submitted to the Ethics and Research Committee of Universidade Federal de São Carlos (CEP/UFSCar) and approved under the opinion number 1,680.558/2016. Results and Discussion: The health workers interviewed reported the homecare as a practice of network services, but also as a modality of care. Reinforced its development by basic health units, especially those with family health. And also, the actions developed by the Service Homecare (SAD). Scored that the actions that are being developed currently does not correspond to the demands of care. Pointed out the need for articulation of the health network of a more dynamic and alive, so that the user is assisted in its entirety. Highlighted care for caregivers in the home. Conclusion: The homecare develops at different spaces, but mainly by transforming a new space of caution: the household. For the realization of the care is integral to consideration of culture and subjectivity of people who reside in that space is essential for the formation of the bond between workers and caregivers and thus be continuity of care. Looking through this practice to corresponsabilização of care and the autonomy of the family. The AD can be a device for structuring of RAS, to give visibility to the pallets of attention. And the sad if constitute a trainer/enabler of network for the implementation of home care. Introducing the homecare as a strategy that ensures the care in its amplitude. Empowering the workers of basic health units under the light of the guidelines of the National Policy of Humanization (PNH), generating a movement for the transformation of the living network of care.
Democracia deliberativa em Habermas : abordagem do tema no Brasil (2000-2015) e contribuições para a educação
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-12-19) Pinheiro, Edneia Virginia; Conti, Celso Luiz Aparecido; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6967887143687279; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3295597349119182
Habermas's philosophical-political work occupies centrality in contemporary democratic theory as a discourse of justification of the deliberative conception of democracy. Assuming a political society capable of establishing normative principles with a view to legitimizing the rule of law, Habermas presents the communicative process of formation of opinion and will as the most important means for the discursive rationalization of the decisions of an administration linked to law. The subjects, as legal partners, act in the elaboration of the legitimate right, of which they are authors and recipients. As a mediator between the world of life and the system, modern law appears as a means to solve the problems of social coordination in a plural society. Understanding that the Habermas' democratic theory is capable of bringing important contributions to reflections in the educational field, we seek to know what use has been made of it in studies and research developed in Brazil and the relevance of its use in the area of education, especially for the democratic management of the school. To answer these questions, we opted for the development of a bibliographical research that had as its source articles published in periodicals. We chose for the bibliographic survey the Periódicos CAPES portal and the SciELO database. From the analysis of articles from nine different areas of knowledge, we sought to identify how deliberative democracy has been approached in studies and research developed in Brazil, the main notes present in articles, the most frequently treated subjects and those that are in apparent emergencies. Completed the analysis of this material, we identified the need to conduct a survey of complementary readings in the area of education, aiming to better establish the overview of discussions that involve the subject. We identify then the ongoing discussions in other areas of knowledge that may contribute to or corroborate discussions in the area of education and democratic school management. Confirming the thesis presented by this search, we conclude that Habermas' interpretation of capitalist society, as a system and world of life, provides us with an important support for the analysis of the problems faced by education, for understanding the relevance of the establishment of discursive processes in school, aiming at the implementation of democracy in its space, the reversal of the process of colonization of the world of life and the formation of participatory, critical and emancipated citizens.
EFM - Elephant Flow Manager: uma arquitetura para detecção e tratamento de fluxos elefantes em DCNs
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-12-19) Rocha, André Luiz Beltrami; Verdi, Fábio Luciano; https://lattes.cnpq.br/9143186843657940; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6413433791281709
One of the major issues in Data Center Networks (DCNs) is related to elephant flows. These flows typically are primarily responsible for network congestion, causing impacts on applications that are intolerant to delays. Although there are several works in the literature that analyze this type of traffic, none of them consider the impact of elephant flow size when perfoming the re-routing of them, influencing the Flow Completion Time (FCT) and throughput. In this way, this work presents EFM (Elephant Flow Manager) as a complete solution for monitoring and re-routing elephant flows in DCNs by observing the size of these flows in the network. The tests performed show that the size of the elephant flows influences the throughput and the FCT of the applications and, therefore, deserves to be observed. The evaluation of the solution was performed comparing the joint use of EFM with ECMP. In all tests, our re-routing solution was better when compared to pure routing with only ECMP. Then, this work presents three main contributions: (1) proposes and implements an architecture for the detection and treatment of elephant flows in DCNs (2) highlights the importance of the size of elephant flows in the re-routing of these in DCNs (3) the EFM in conjunction with the ECMP reduces the energy consumption in the DCNs, since the FCT of flows is reduced.
Proposta de uma abordagem para modelagem e simulação de eventos discretos integrada com simulação baseada em agentes : aplicação em uma linha de montagem
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-12-19) Santos, William Rodrigues dos; Menegon, Nilton Luiz; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5461487552981919; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5507046300736969
In this research we propose an approach for the construction of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) models integrated with Agent Based Simulation (ABS) to improve the representation of production systems in a simulation computational environment. This approach is composed of a UML language architecture, which has a joint to integrate macro specifications (top-down approach) from the perspective of DES, with micro specifications (bottom-up approach) from the perspective of the ABS, and a guide for DES-ABS modeling and simulation. The motivation to develop this approach is the limitations and difficulties in modeling the behavior of operators in SED models and the increasing demand for methods and techniques for the development of SBA models in the context of Operations Management. For the development of this approach a Systematic Review on ABS was conducted in the context of manufacturing, logistics and supply chain. The results of Systematic Review provided the theoretical, conceptual and practical bases for developing the approach and construction of the hybrid simulation model. The modeling and simulation process was adapted to allow the insertion of the agents. The results of the modeling and simulation process show that the practice of SBA applied in the context of Operations Management still presents some operational challenges, mainly for programming of entities belonging to the DES software, which already have pre-established rules of behavior. However, the use of DES-ABS may offer greater system modeling power due to new ways of representing the behavior of entities in a model. This potential can contribute to reduce the need to perform operational simplifications in systems with a certain level of complexity, increasing the legitimacy of the results obtained in the computational model.
