This paper presents a study accomplished in the State of Parana in Southern Brazil, aiming at verifying the correlation between organizational human factors (OHF) and the level of energy losses in organizations. The purpose is to subsidize the formularization of institutional policies in organizations to improve the energy efficiency in the productive sector. The research was carried out in ten industries of the following sectors: pulp and paper;food;wood and chemical products. The losses of electric energy were determined in motor systems with the aid of a mathematical model and the evaluation of 27 OHF identified in the literature review was made with the supervisors in the industries by means of a structurized questionnaire. Seven OHF had presented significant correlation with energy losses and six of them are inversely proportional to the losses, in accordance with linear regression analysis. The inversely proportional factors to the losses also with significant correlation are considered determinative OHF and constitute barriers for energy efficiency in organizations. These barriers are linked with the following organizational areas: management system;education of employees;strategical vision. The study recommends the implementation of the determinative OHF in organizations as a way to transpose the human barriers for energy efficiency. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents an information systems architecture (ISA) model that comprises the integration of information systems, technology, business processes and users in public sector environment. The ISA model presented considers specific aspects of the public sector as well characteristics of information systems development and use in this sector found in the literature and in the studies realised in informatic services brazilian State public enterprises. The model proposed was structured with five components: (a) Government structure (mission and organisational culture, Planning and government platform);(b) Public services (considered the " business" of public structure, with the information for citizens, for top level and government administrative technical);(c) Information systems (by including the legacy systems and executives systems information);(d) Information technology (centred in investment policies and the government computational platforms-as micro-computer and mainframe relationship) and (e) Users (centred in the necessities for public-training, adaptation and use of the SI). The model proposed was submitted to validation from informatic services Brazilian State public enterprises. The results point out the relevance of the integrated vision of their components and they permit to establish strategies for implantation of ISA model, in order to observing public sector specificity.

This paper intends to discuss the concepts of knowledge, information and data and their use on a Competitive Intelligence process. An information concept is presented and the information science influences on the way that it has been used, as so data gathering as internal expert service process support. A relationship between the Competitive Intelligence process approach and the use of the established resources for information process using electronic media is displayed. There is a difference among data, information and knowledge taking the reader up to the Competitive Intelligence and Knowledge Management concepts found at current literature over this subject. A user connection to knowledge is described in order to make a distinction between the knowledge universe and the user universe, taking the recorded knowledge as a "bridge" connecting both universes. The knowledge universe access way is taken by the language that is in use, while at user universe is represented by the retrieval system that is adopted. A discussion over the frontiers and aspects of each universe is held, as well as the condition for inter-relationship, resulting in an idealistic representation for the user and knowledge relationship. Finally, this paper presents a few points that illustrate the Information Science contributions for the Knowledge Management process.

Surviving and growing in a world characterized by competitiviness in a global scale and by continued and unexpected changes, has been a paradigm for the organizations. With the globalization process, which is a reality, the technological evolution and the complexity of the modern world, new needs have appeared in the working position realm, The concrete fact is that transformations alter the work-man, man-machine, man-productive system relations besides the kinds of workers. The man-machine relation is really important in the organizational environment because the technological advances may motivate the worker as well as scare and unqualify him. So, no ergonomics analysis through working signs may be an excellent tool to help in the adaptation of the worker to the working position and also detect and settle the points which must be emphasized and modified to obtain the organizational efficiency.

1905. in Chicago Illinois. He was appointed to the U. S. Naval Academy Annapolis. Maryland from California in 1923. Graduated and commissioned Ensign on June 2 1921 he subsequently advanced to the rank of Captain to date from March 20 1945. In December 1955 he was appointed Rear Admiral to date from January 3 1956. Following graduation in 1927 he joined the USS California flagship of the Battle Fleet. Later in 1928. he was assigned communication duty on the staff of Commander Battle Fleet serving as such until August 1930. In November of that year he reported on board the USS Isabel for duty on Asiatic Station and in October 1932 was transferred to the USS Rochester. He completed his Asiatic tour of duty in the USS Houston in 1933. Detached from this vessel he returned to the United States and joined the USS Idaho. After 7 years of sea duty he returned to Annapolis Maryland for postgraduate instruction in radio (electronic) engineering. He completed the course in May 1936 and was assigned to the University of California Berkeley for additional postgraduate work receiving the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering after which he reported aboard the USS Concord. Continuing sea duty he joined the staff of Commander Destroyer Division Nineteen (later redesignated Destroyer Fifty) in April 1938 and served as Radio and Sound Officer until June 1941. Starting in July 1939 he set up the technical program of the first fleet Sound School at San Diego California. In July 1941 he reported to the Bureau of Ships Navy Department Washington D.C. There he served first as Head of the Underwater Sound Design Section of the Radio Division and later Head of Electronics Design Division from 1943 to 1946. He was awarded the Legion of Merit “for exceptionally meritorious conduct” during this tour of duty. Upon leaving the Bureau of Ships in August 1946 he reported as Director of the U. S. Navy Electronics Laboratory Point Loma
