ABSTRACTThis research aimed to identify the leadership styles of the professors of a higher education institution located in the city of Patos, Paraíba, Brazil. We adopted a quantitative approach from the deductive method. The data were collected through the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire -5x (MLQ) questionnaire, proposed by Bass (1985), and the analysis based on descriptive statistics. Thirty professors from a total sample of 58 were interviewed in four programs. It was verified that all the styles of leadership studied are observed in professor's behaviour however, there is, a predominance of transformational (M = 4.15) and transactional styles (M = 3.84), which varied according to the specific situation. Therefore, the results showed the professors' interest in leadership issues in order to obtain the best working environment and maximum efficiency and effectiveness of their students.
Water scarcity is a growing problem and is already affecting the entire planet, which is worsening in semi-arid regions. Thus the main objective of this research was to verify the water consumption situation and the perception of the settlers regarding the water issue in the Santa Mônica settlement, located in the rural area of the municipality of Pombal, in the upper Sertão of Paraíba. As a result it was possible to identify that, despite the good housing with which they were contemplated, there is no type of education and health structure, and no water source within the settlement. Residents are mostly fueled by caravans and do not trust the quality of this water, but do not take care to treat it before consuming. Its average daily consumption is approximately 70 to 93 liters per person, which indicates consumption below what is suggested by the UN, in order to meet the basic needs of an individual. This situation becomes even more worrying, when analyzed the fact that these people are unable to carry out their main activities, which are agriculture and animal husbandry, since they are totally dependent on water.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of academic training on the entrepreneurial intention of the administration students from UEPB of Patos-PB. Characterized as a qualitative, participatory and descriptive research, the present investigation had its data collection conducted by a semistructured interview protocol with 21 (twenty one) administration students. The analysis of the results was based on an analysis of the content from which four categories emerged, from which it can be concluded that the administration students have entrepreneurial characteristics, but even with this entrepreneurial profile, some prefer not to follow in the area, others are already entrepreneurs and others have the will. Regarding the influence of the academic formation in relation to the entrepreneurial intention, the research presented a positive result, since the course exerts influence for the entrepreneurial intention, however, for those who have the entrepreneurial spirit and the preparation that the course offers to undertake did not obtain a relevant result, since it left to be desired in the feeling of relating the theory with the practice.
A outorga de direito do uso dos recursos hídricos é importante para que haja um controle do uso dos recursos hídricos e para que este uso seja realizado de forma correta. O objetivo do trabalho foi realizar um levantamento das outorgas emitidas bem como elaborar um diagnóstico de tais outorgas na Região do Alto Curso do rio Piranhas, localizada no Sertão da Paraíba. Para a realização desse estudo, foi realizado um levantamento das outorgas de águas emitidas na região presentes no site da Agência Executiva de Gestão de Águas do Estado da Paraíba sendo posteriormente realizada uma entrevista com o gestor da Agência. Os resultados possibilitaram identificar a real situação dos usuários de água na região, ao ponto que a maioria dos usuários não tem outorga ou as mesmas estão vencidas, sendo o principal uso para a irrigação e abastecimento rural; os usuários outorgados consomem em média 23 m³/hora e cerca de 38% dos usuários cadastrados consomem mais de 2 m³/hora, ou seja, são passíveis de outorga.
Marketing is of great importance to all segments. It is no different for the individual, where he or she needs to be prepared to meet the demands imposed by the market, and then seek to improve their skills, knowledge and skills, seeking alternatives and professional qualification, developing some specific skills and seeking the maximum excellence in your personal marketing. This research aims to highlight the strategic tools used by personal marketing and the importance of these practices in personal and professional development, based on a bibliographical study and a theoretical framework based on the authors who study the theme. It has been verified that personal and professional marketing is being increasingly used, both by people who are starting their career and also those who intend to grow within the company, mainly due to the requirements of the market. From the studies carried out it is possible to perceive that although it is being a tool, it is increasingly used, although there are still several tools that are not exploited as they should.
Por ser considerada um recurso essencial a vida, porém limitada, a água, possui potencial, por seus múltiplos usos, que exige necessidade de mecanismos que conduzam a uma utilização eficiente e racional deste bem. O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi estimar e analisar a arrecadação na sub-bacia do Alto Piranhas no Estado da Paraíba, por meio de um modelo de cobrança que considerasse as peculiaridades da região. Após levantamento dos principais modelos dispostos na literatura e por ser uma sub-bacia gerenciada pela esfera federal, observou-se que o modelo adotado pelo comitê da bacia do Rio São Francisco é o que mais se aproximou da realidade da região estudada. Assim foram idealizados e simulados dois cenários, a partir de demandas atuais e futuras que levassem em consideração o enquadramento dos corpos d’ água. A partir disso notou-se que a arrecadação total anual do Cenário II é maior que o Cenário I, isso se deu principalmente com a mudança de alguns parâmetros que estão diretamente ligados as classes de enquadramento adotadas e dos níveis de garantias. Apesar de utilizando um modelo aprovado pelo Conselho Nacional de Recursos Hídricos (CNRH) e executado pela Agência Nacional de Água (ANA), os recursos gerados não foram suficientes para financiar o sistema de gerenciamento da bacia estudada. Dessa forma é preciso avaliar outros modelos de cobrança, assim como contemplar outros estudos que utilizem os coeficientes de ponderação que venham a considerar as peculiaridades da região estudada, visto que, este instrumento gera recursos capazes de possibilitar a melhoria da qualidade de vida da sub-bacia estudada.
Environmental Auditing is a recent technique in Brazil. This tool has become a part of everyday life, both in the search for certification, according to NBR ISO 14001 (2004), as well as the rigor imposed by environmental legislation, or even by requirements at the state level, to conduct environmental audits, assuming that the audit acts as an instrument in controlling compliance with policies, practices, procedures and / or requirements established in an attempt to reduce or even prevent environmental degradation. Given this context, the objective of this study is to analyze the process of implementation of an Environmental Audit, and what are the possible benefits for organizations. This is an exploratory study, using bibliographic and documentary research procedures, through the analysis of literature reviews related to the theme under study. The results showed that, among the benefits of environmental audits, the following can be enumerated: the commitment to the production process and the implementation of continuous improvements, induce the use of clean technologies, the efficient use of available resources (raw material), correct management. industrial waste, as well as the identification of potential hazards and risks, in addition to being linked to economic growth, the search for alternatives that propose sustainable development, since the Environmental Audit is not just another competitive differential.
