Desvios de inventário ,Melhoria contínua ,Abastecimento ,Gestão de stocks ,Armazém logístico - Abstract
O presente projeto foi desenvolvido na Renault Cacia e surgiu da necessidade de abordar de uma forma mais clara e eficaz a problemática dos desvios de inventário. Assim, teve como principal objetivo uma análise focada nos desvios ocorridos no armazém logístico, no momento do abastecimento às linhas de produção de peças pertencentes aos componentes mecânicos. Numa primeira fase, realizou-se um estudo à situação atual e definiu-se uma metodologia de resolução, através do ciclo PDCA. O passo seguinte foi desenvolver e implementar uma ferramenta informática, que permitisse controlar os desvios ocorridos. Através da ferramenta foi possível analisar as causas de erro, utilizando a ferramenta dos 5 Porquês e o diagrama causa efeito, e definir indicadores de desempenho cruciais para o acompanhamento dos desvios ao longo do tempo. O resultado da implementação da ferramenta informática foi positivo, uma vez que permitiu ir ao encontro dos objetivos e problemas identificados. This project was developed at Renault Cacia and arose from the need to approach in a more clear and effective way the problem of inventory deviations. Thus, the main scope was an analysis focused on the deviations occurred in the logistics warehouse, at the time of supplying the production lines of parts belonging to the mechanical components. A first phase was carried out to study the current situation and a resolution methodology was defined, through the PDCA cycle. The next step was to develop and implement a computer tool that would allow the control of deviations. Through the tool it was possible to analyse the causes of error, using the 5 Whys tool and the diagram causes effect, and to define crucial performance indicators to follow deviations over time. The result of the implementation of the computer tool was positive, since it allowed to meet the objectives and problems identified. Mestrado em Engenharia e Gestão Industrial

Resumo: A granulomatose de Wegener é uma vasculite sistémica rara e idiopática caracterizada pelo atingimento dos pequenos vasos. A doença atinge, preferencial-mente, as vias aérea superior e inferior e os rins, levando à formação de granulomas e necrose destes órgãos. As manifestações clÃnicas e o envolvimento orgânico variam largamente. O diagnóstico e tratamento precoce podem levar à recuperação total. No entanto, o atraso no diagnóstico pode ser fatal. Os autores apresentam o caso de uma doente de 33 anos com uma forma de apresentação grave e rara da doença, mas com uma evolução favorável após diagnóstico e tratamento adequado.Rev Port Pneumol 2009; XV (5): 929-935 Abstract: Wegener granulomatosis is a rare systemic idiopathic disease characterized by involvement of small vessels â medium and small arteries, venules, arterioles and ocasionally large arteries. This disease has predilection for the upper and lower respiratory tract and the kidney, with granulomatous inflamation and necrosis. Clinical manifestations and organ involvement of the disease vary widely. Early diagnosis and treatment may lead to a full recovery. Without treatment, Wegenerâs granulomatosis can be fatal. The authors present a case of a 33 year-old female, with severe disease, but with good outcome, after adequate diagnosis and treatment.Rev Port Pneumol 2009; XV (5): 929-935 Palavras-chave: Granulomatose de Wegener, forma limitada grave, Key-words: Wegener´s granulomatosis, severe limited form

Resumo Nosso artigo tem como objetivo identificar quais são as percepções e ações para inclusão, do ponto de vista de gestores, de pessoas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) nas organizações que empregam esses profissionais no Brasil. O número de pessoas diagnosticadas com autismo nos Estados Unidos tem aumentado, conforme dados do Centers com base na transposição dos dados, o Brasil teria um número próximo a 4,48 milhões de autistas (Paiva, 2021) em 2021. A maioria das organizações brasileiras não oferece condições mínimas para a inclusão desses profissionais (Leopoldino, 2018), e o tema ainda é escasso na literatura acadêmica internacional e nacional, especialmente de forma empírica. Para este estudo, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis executivos de empresas nacionais e estrangeiras que contratam profissionais com TEA. Por meio da análise temática, foram identificadas as percepções dos gestores sobre esses profissionais e as ações de inclusão adotadas por eles. Os resultados indicam que as percepções dos gestores têm como base estereótipos, mas que estes acabam se alterando à medida que convivem com profissionais com TEA. Com relação às ações para inclusão, foram identificados a importância da cultura de inclusão, o acompanhamento do profissional com TEA pelos intermediadores em todas as etapas da carreira e a atenção dos envolvidos com a saúde deles. Os resultados fornecem achados úteis para organizações que promovem a diversidade, além de mostrar que as ações para a inclusão de pessoas com TEA ainda se mostram incipientes em nosso país.

International audience; The study presented here is being carried out within the framework of teaching French as a foreign language on academic goals, a field where the issue of learning "abstract" lexicon is still unexplored. It deals with French verbs referring to the various phases of existence (emergence, continuation, disappearance) of an object, a process, a situation or time period expressed by a noun. It provides steps to identify the semantic relationships between V and N in context. The study led to the publication in September 2020 of a handbook by the two authors, helping foreign students to master the distributional constraints on Verb-Noun collocations.

BackgroundCognitive deficits are present in several neuropsychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer disease, schizophrenia, and depression. Assessments used to measure cognition in these disorders are time-consuming, burdensome, and have low ecological validity. To address these limitations, we developed a novel virtual reality shopping task—VStore. ObjectiveThis study aims to establish the construct validity of VStore in relation to the established computerized cognitive battery, Cogstate, and explore its sensitivity to age-related cognitive decline. MethodsA total of 142 healthy volunteers aged 20-79 years participated in the study. The main VStore outcomes included verbal recall of 12 grocery items, time to collect items, time to select items on a self-checkout machine, time to make the payment, time to order coffee, and total completion time. Construct validity was examined through a series of backward elimination regression models to establish which Cogstate tasks, measuring attention, processing speed, verbal and visual learning, working memory, executive function, and paired associate learning, in addition to age and technological familiarity, best predicted VStore performance. In addition, 2 ridge regression and 2 logistic regression models supplemented with receiver operating characteristic curves were built, with VStore outcomes in the first model and Cogstate outcomes in the second model entered as predictors of age and age cohorts, respectively. ResultsOverall VStore performance, as indexed by the total time spent completing the task, was best explained by Cogstate tasks measuring attention, working memory, paired associate learning, and age and technological familiarity, accounting for 47% of the variance. In addition, with λ=5.16, the ridge regression model selected 5 parameters for VStore when predicting age (mean squared error 185.80, SE 19.34), and with λ=9.49 for Cogstate, the model selected all 8 tasks (mean squared error 226.80, SE 23.48). Finally, VStore was found to be highly sensitive (87%) and specific (91.7%) to age cohorts, with 94.6% of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. ConclusionsOur findings suggest that VStore is a promising assessment that engages standard cognitive domains and is sensitive to age-related cognitive decline.

For ethical and organic reasons, surgical and analgesic techniques that minimize and adequately control pain should be studied. Ovariohysterectomy is the most common surgical technique in veterinary medicine and is performed in female dogs for elective or therapeutic purposes. Both conventional and minimally invasive surgical techniques are used in veterinary medicine; however, the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique is considered superior to the conventional technique because it is associated with a less painful and faster post-operative recovery. However, for various reasons, the laparoscopic technique is not yet widely used in veterinary medicine, and the conventional ovariohysterectomy is still the most common. The aim of this study, therefore, was to validate the efficacy of the combination of dipyrone, scopolamine, and meloxicam after conventional or two-port laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomies in female dogs. Additionally, this study sought to assess recovery after the two surgical modalities while receiving the same analgesic protocol. Fourteen healthy adult female dogs were spayed and then evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale, the Melbourne Scale, and the short form of the Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale for 72 hours after surgery. The analgesic protocol was efficient for pain control after both techniques, with minimal differences between the groups.

É objetivo do presente artigo caracterizar o jogo de Futsal no escalão de Infantis Masculinos do Desporto Escolar, tendo em conta os princípios de jogo ofensivo e defensivo, assim como a localização e o resultado das ações ofensivas e defensivas. Foram avaliados 48 jogadores de Futsal. Os jogadores executaram 1452 ações táticas, sendo 714 ações táticas ofensivas e 738 ações táticas defensivas. O instrumento utilizado no estudo foi uma adaptação do teste “GR3-3GR”, que permite avaliar as ações táticas desempenhadas por cada um dos jogadores participantes, de acordo com dez princípios táticos do jogo, a localização da ação no campo de jogo e o resultado da ação. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizado o software SPSS for Windows. Para aferir a fiabilidade intra-avaliador recorreu-se ao teste de Kappa de Cohen. Os resultados na comparação da posição dos jogadores no terreno de jogo demonstram que, em situação ofensiva, os defesas efetuam mais ações associadas aos princípios “Unidade Ofensiva” e “Espaço”, enquanto que os avançados efetuam mais ações associadas aos princípios de “Cobertura Ofensiva”, “Penetração” e “Mobilidade”. Em situação defensiva, os defesas efetuam mais ações associadas aos princípios “Concentração”, “Cobertura Defensiva” e “Equilíbrio”, enquanto os avançados efetuam mais ações associadas aos princípios de “Unidade Defensiva” e “Contenção”.

Education - Abstract
Este artigo tem como objetivo problematizar relatos trazidos pelos/as professores/as dos anos iniciais da escola pública, no âmbito da formação no curso Gênero e Diversidade na Escola (GDE), no que se refere aos preconceitos de: gênero e diversidade sexual. O curso de formação GDE, foi oferecido em 2009 e 2010, pela Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB), em convênio firmado com a Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). No Estado de São Paulo os polos de formação foram distribuídos em 09 municípios. O curso GDE se inseriu na modalidade de formação continuada de professores/as da educação básica de escolas públicas, de forma semipresencial. O curso foi dividido em 05 módulos temáticos: diversidade, gênero, sexualidade e orientação sexual, raça/etnia. Neste artigo analisamos os memoriais escritos pelos/as professores/as participantes do 1º curso GDE nos quais apontam o aprendizado vivido ao longo do curso. O polo da cidade de Jaú, interior do estado de São Paulo foi o selecionado para as análises apresentadas. Como resultado, obtiveram-se vários relatos sobre conflitos resultantes da dissonância das crenças pessoais e das responsabilidades profissionais; o envolvimento da história de vida dos/as professores/as em sua atuação escolar (subjetividades); a transposição dos equívocos conceituais construídos fora da escola para seu interior, entre outros aspectos discutidos nas análises aqui apresentadas. Foi possível perceber que o curso conseguiu desestabilizar esses/as professores/as, permitindo que questionem algumas de suas certezas. Foi explicito pelo grupo de participantes a dificuldade em mudar e transformar conceitos e preconceitos internalizados sobre diversidade sexual e gênero. Concluímos que o curso possibilitou aos educadores/as entrar em contato com questões contemporâneas, uma reflexão sobre suas posturas e concepções de educação, o que contribuirá, talvez, para transformar suas práticas dentro da escola, possibilitando novos questionamentos e olhares sobre a questão da sexualidade.

Elle porte sur des verbes référant aux différentes phases de l’existence (apparition, continuation, disparition) d’un événement, d’un état de choses ou d’un phénomène abstrait désigné par un nom. La démarche consiste en constants allers et retours entre l’analyse des emplois des verbes dans des écrits universitaires authentiques d’apprenants étrangers (de niveau avancé) et la description de chaque verbe sous forme d’un « mode d’emploi » présentant les paramètres à prendre en compte pour gérer leurs cooccurrents, c’est-à-dire pour comprendre ce qui rend possible ou bloque l’emploi d’un verbe avec tel ou tel type de nom. La perspective théorique retenue est celle de la construction dynamique du sens en contexte.

International audience; AbstractEstimation of the number of expected years of life free disease lost due to an occupational exposure is frequently required asthe amount of compensation due to the worker relies upon this estimation. The motivating example was a French case-cohort study on the occurrence of lung cancer for workers exposed to asbestos. For a case-cohort study the most usual models are the logistic ones. But this is adequate only if the aim is to evaluate the risks of developing the disease, which is not our objective. Several models, though, can be used in order to solve our problem. One of the simplest is the Cox model involving the professional exposure as a covariate at the same level as other risk factors that could also induce lungcancer, like for example family history of cancer and tobacco consumption. But we can also think of adapting to case-control study the threshold regression model, also named first hitting time model (fht), which was initially developed for cohort studies. This model allows us to treat the professional exposure as an accelerator of the time to onset of the disease, while the other covariates are divided into two classes, acting differently on the time to onset: the built-in ones (like genetic factors for example) and the lifelong ones, (like tobacco consumption for example.
