Neste artigo objetivou-se propor uma abordagem analítico-metodológica para se compreender o processo da estratégia em governos municipais no Brasil sob dois níveis que se complementam. O primeiro nível corresponde a estudos longitudinais para a apuração em termos comparados entre governos e em distintos períodos quanto ao grau de compliance dos Planos Plurianuais (PPAs) na estruturação e na execução orçamentárias e à qualidade dos seus elementos estratégicos no que se refere a objetivos, justificativas, metas físicas e financeiras e a indicadores de políticas públicas e de gestão. Trata-se de uma proposta analítica sobre um tema cuja produção acadêmica nacional carece de sistematização, categorias analíticas ou taxonômicas. O segundo nível – estudos de caso em profundidade – direciona-se para a análise dos processos de aprendizado institucional, de conflito e cooperação entre instâncias políticas e administrativas, de transformação, adaptação ou enraizamento de práticas organizacionais de caráter estratégico e de movimentos estratégicos frequentes versus acomodação a ditames e processos rígidos pelos PPAs. Essa segunda apreciação propositiva realiza-se em análises de dimensões como: ação/nuance de governo, liderança(s) institucional(is) e memória institucional, permeabilidade organizacional aos cidadãos, ciclo político-eleitoral, mensuração de necessidades e recursos, alternativas de recursos financeiros e mecanismos de gestão tático-operacional e de projetos. A principal contribuição que se pretende é a instituição de uma agenda de pesquisa sobre gestão estratégica no setor público brasileiro em governos subnacionais, com o preenchimento de lacunas na produção acadêmica sobre PPAs e no estabelecimento de variáveis compreensivas dos contornos político-administrativos e de elementos de empoderamento da estratégia na administração pública municipal.Palavras-chave: Estratégia. Governos municipais. Plano Plurianual (PPA). Abstract This paper proposed a methodological and analytical approach to comprehend the strategic process in municipal governments in Brazil under two complementary levels of studies. The first one refers to longitudinal studies to verify, in compared perspective of different governments and political terms, in what extent “Pluriannual Plans (PPAs)” are complied to the annual budgetary construction and execution, as well as the quality of its strategic elements, such as general and specific objectives, justifications, goals, and management and policy indicators. It is an analytical proposal in an area of studies lacking in systematization, and in taxonomic and analytical categories. The second level – in depth case studies – engages into the analysis of institutional learning, conflict and cooperation between administrative and political agencies, rooting, adaptive and transformative organizational strategic practices, and frequent strategic movements versus PPA’s rigid processes accommodation. This second level of appreciation offers studies on dimensions such as: government actions/nuances, institutional leadership and institutional memory, organizational permeability to citizens, political cycles, resources and needs measurements, efforts on financing designed policies, and tactical-operational and project oriented mechanisms of management. The main intended contribution is to create a research agenda related to strategic management in the Brazilian subnational governments, filling gaps in the academic production about PPAs and establishing understandable and comprehensive variables of political-administrative outlines, and elements of municipal strategic empowerment.Keywords: Strategy.

In order to continue to make progress in software measurement, as it pertains to reliability and maintainability, there must be a shift in emphasis from design and code metrics to metrics that characterize the risk of making requirements changes. By doing so, the quality of delivered software can be improved because defects related to problems in requirements specifications will be identified early in the life cycle. An approach is described for identifying requirements change risk factors as predictors of reliability and maintainability problems. This approach can be generalized to other applications with numerical results that would vary according to application. An example is provided that consists of 24 space shuttle change requests, 19 risk factors, and the associated failures and software metrics.

The impact of social and material conditions on mental health is well established but lacking in a coherent approach. We offer the concept of ‘vitality’ as means of describing how environments facilitate ‘feelings of being alive’ that cut across existing diagnostic categories. Drawing on the work of Stern, Fuchs, Worms and Duff, we argue that vitality is not solely a quality of an individual body, but rather emerges from attunements and resonances between bodies and materials. We use vitality as a lens to explore how movements within and between assembled sets of relations can facilitate or disable feelings and expressions of being alive. Building on extended discussions of both inpatient and community-based mental healthcare, we sketch out a research agenda for analysing ‘vital spaces’.

Operational Tests

In order to evaluate the performance of new turbo gas power plants for putting in commercial operation, it was necessary to supervise, test and, if so the case, to approve the works of commissioning, operational and acceptance of all equipments and systems that constitute the power plant. All this was done with the aim of guaranteeing the satisfactory operation of these elements to accomplish the function for which they were developed. These activities were conducted at the request of the customer to confirm and observe that the evidence of the tests was carried out according to the specifications and international regulations. The putting into commercial operation activities were done in collaboration with the supplier and manufacturer of equipment, the client and the institution responsible for certification and approval of the plant. All this in a logical and chronological order for the sequence of commissioning tests, operation and acceptance. Commissioning tests were carried out on-site at normal operating conditions, according to the design and operation needs of each power plant of a group of 14. Once the commissioning tests were completely executed and in a satisfactory manner, operational tests of the plants were developed. This was done by considering that they must operate reliable, stable, safe and automatically, satisfying at least, one hundred hours of continuous operation at full load. After evaluating the operational capacity of the machine, it was necessary to determinate the quality of the plant by carrying out a performance test. Finally, it was verified if every unit fulfills the technical requirements established in terms of heat capacity of the machine, noise levels and emissions. As a result of this process, it is guaranteed to the customer that the turbo gas power plants, their systems and equipments, satisfy the requirements, specifications and conditions in agreement with the supplier and manufacturers referring to the putting into commercial operation of the plant.
