(FATEC - 2019) The Skills You Need To Succeed In 2020 By Avil Beckford Aug 6, 2018. The World Economic Forum reports that you need ten skills to thrive in 2020: complex problem solving; critical thinking; creativity; people management; coordinating with others; emotional intelligence; judgement and decision making; service orientation; negotiation; cognitive flexibility. The ten skills on this list make sense fo r the age that we are living in. Of these, you want to focus oncreative work, because that is where you are likely to remain employable. Every professional can be creative in the work she does. You might have started to realize that you will need more than the ten skills listed earlier. Alvin Toffler once said, The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. In some instances, relearning could be adapting what you know to a new reality. Take cell phones as an example. When they first came out, they were used solely as communications devices. Convergence happened, and now our smartphones are minicomputers. People had to relearn how to use a phone. In terms of work, you will have to adapt some of your skills to the jobs of the future, and you will also have to learn new skills. Here are some of the additional skills that you will need to succeed in 2020. Learning how to learn. Since skills are constantly changing, you have to learn how to learn. Analyzing information. When you take good and detailed notes, you can review them to pick out the big ideas, understand, and make sense of information. Spotting patterns and trends. I recommend that you combine ideas from the different books that you read. By doing this, you may be able to spot ideas and trends. Communicating written and oral. You can combine ideas that once seemed unrelated to communicate them to influencers, who can help you to shape and implement them. Understanding and leveraging technology. Technology is changing at an unprecedented pace, so you need to understand and keep on top of it. https://tinyurl.com/y7pahnqf Acesso em: 15.10.2018. Adaptado.

(FATEC - 2019/2) The Most Important Skill For 21stCentury Success ByKevin H. Johnson The world of work is changing so rapidly, as emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation change job requirements. As technologies continue to evolve and business conditions shift, employees must stay in learning mode so their skills dont lose currency. Its one thing to keep up with skills as theyre changing in the here and now. Its a whole different challenge to prepare yourself for tools and technologies that may exist only in the minds of engineers, if at all. Theres so much uncertainty and ambiguity around the future of work, it doesnt matter your industry or job function. Thats why, when anyone asks what the next hot skill will be, I say its the same skill that will serve people today, tomorrow, and far into the future the ability to learn. When people embrace lifelong learning, assimilating new skills isnt a source of fear and stress its just another part of their career journey. Separating process from outcome will make you a better learner too, as you get less fixated on immediate mastery of a skill and more appreciative of how moving outside your comfort zone helps you grow as a person. A learning mindset also makes it less likely youll be thrown off or immobilized when a project changes scope or a job function undergoes transformation. While others scramble to figure out where to go from here, lifelong learners maintain momentum and productivity. https://tinyurl.com/ya42xtrrAcesso em: 15.03.2019. Adaptado. Original colorido.

(FATEC -2017) Heres how long you can work before your brain 1shuts down Im having a hard time starting this article. According to research out of the University of Melbourne, that might be because Im middle-aged and work too much. Economists determined that burning the midnight oil makes you, well, dumber. Our study highlights that too much work can have adverse effects on cognitive functioning, they conclude. Tell us something we didnt know. Who hasnt, at the end of a seemingly endless workweek, found themselves staring blankly at their computer screen or into space unable to remember what they had for lunch, let alone form a coherent thought about the task at hand? For some employees, of course the average resident 2physician or, these days, that 3gig economy worker who makes ends meet by banging away at multiple projects long hours are a fact of modern working life. And theres a cost. Medical researchers have shown that working too much can affect employees physical and mental health. So how much is too much? For people age 40 and older, working up to roughly 25 hours per week boosts memory, the ability to quickly process information and other aspects of cognitive function, according to the study, which drew on a longitudinal survey that tracks the well-being of 6,000 Australians. Beyond 25 hours a week, the middle-aged brain doesnt work as well, the study indicates, noting that the findings apply to both men and women. http://tinyurl.com/j4os8ck Acesso em: 24.08.2016.

(Fatec 2012) Fight the Violence! Oct 14, 2011 6:53 PM EDT What if gang violence in America could be reduced just by talking? Professor and activist David Kennedy talks with Ben Crair about his new book, Dont Shoot, criticism of his plan, and the economics of gangs. In 1995, David M. Kennedy went to Boston on behalf of* Harvards Kennedy School of Government to study violent crime. Like many American cities at that time, Boston was suffering a wave of homicides. After linking up with a special Boston Police Department task force, Kennedy and his team recognized that most of the killing was the work of a small handful of identifiable gang members. Rather than locking them all up, they tried something new: They met with the gang members and community leaders, offered them assistance in getting off the streets, and warned them that, if any single gang member committed another murder*, they would crack down* on the entire group. Crime dropped almost overnight, and Kennedys Operation Ceasefire, as it has come to be known, has been implemented in more than 70 cities, addressing issues from gun violence to drug markets to juvenile robberies. Now, Kennedy recounts his experiences in a new book, Dont Shoot: One Man, a Street Fellowship, and the End of Violence in Inner-City America. (Newsweek, 14.10.2011.

(Fatec 2010) Moores law doesnt matter Back in 1965, Intel cofounder Gordon Moore predicted that the semiconductor industry could double the number of transistors on a chip every 12 months (he later amended it to 24 months) for about the same cost. And for half a century, Moores Law has held true, making computers cheaper and faster and more powerful. It seems almost that long that experts have been warning that Moores Law would eventually run smack into the laws of physics, bringing everyones1giddyride to an end. It hasnt happened yet. Justin Rattner, the chief technology officer at Intel, insists the company can keep doubling the number of transistors on a processor through several more generations of chips over the next decade. The trouble isnt capacity; its speed. A few years ago microprocessors reached 3GHz. You cant make them faster, or they overheat and start to melt. To solve that problem, the industry began making chips that do several tasks at once, instead of doing a single thing faster and faster. These days were seeing dual-core and quad-core chips--in essence, processors with two or four tiny computer engines on a single chip. Within a decade we will likely see chips with 100 cores, maybe even more, Rattner says. But that raises a new problem: how to put those tiny side-by-side computer engines to good use. The operating systems arent set up for it. Neither are the programming languages and development tools. Neither, in fact, are the programmers themselves, who have all grown up writing software to run on a single engine-serially, that is, not in parallel. For 50 years weve done things one way, and now were changing to a different model, says Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer at Microsoft, which as the biggest maker of operating systems and programming tools is leading the drive to solve the puzzle. Its the biggest single change Microsoft has ever faced, Mundie says. Parallel computing has been around for a long time. But its mostly been confined to high-end supercomputers. Writing programs for them is incredibly difficult and time-consuming. The challenge now is to make it possible and cheap--for ordinary programmers to write programs that run in parallel. Mundie predicts big things when (he doesnt say if) Microsoft works it all out. After all, the human brain is itself a massively parallel computer; writing programs that can operate in parallel is the key to making computers that seem more like us and less like machines. In a sense we are trying to build a crude approximation of what nature does in your brain, says 1 Mundie. Parallelism is the only way I to get there. (LYONS, Daniel.

(Fatec - 2008) JUST LIKE HUMANS Animal personality is now taken seriously. We name them, raise them, clothe them and spoil them. We describe them as manipulative, grumpy, sensitive and caring. And theyre not even human - theyre our pets. Its in our nature to ascribe human characteristics to animals even if they dont really exist. For this reason, in the interests of remaining objective observers of nature, scientists have taken pains to avoid anthropomorphizing animals. To talk about a dogs having a swagger or a cats being shy would invite professional sneers. In recent years, however, evidence has begun to show that animals have personalities after all. Chimps, for example, can be conscientious: they think before they act, they plan and they control their impulses, says Samuel Gosling, a Texas-based psychologist. Research has identified similar personality traits in many other species. The implications of these findings for research on human personality are powerful. Scientists can look to animal studies for insight into humans the same way they now look to animal testing for insight into drugs. Animal research has already begun to shed light on how different sights of people respond to medications and treatments - aggressive and passive rats respond differently to antidepressants, for example. The hope is that animals can help illuminate the murky interplay of genes and the environment on peoples personalities. The research may even lead to predictions about what people will do, based on their personalities, when theyre stressed out or frightened. Putting personality testing - already a thriving business - on a firm footing could uncover a wealth of knowledge about where personality comes from.

(Fatec 2007) Com base no texto, é possível afirmar que pesquisadores da Universidade de Paris relataram recentemente que tinham encontrado uma forma de OPTICAL FIBERS Optical fibers carry a dizzying amount of data each second, but a great deal of communication still gets beamed, via slower microwaves, from one dish antenna to another. Engineers didnt think there was any improvement to tease out of this technology, but researchers at the University of Paris recently reported in the journal Science that theyd found a way of focusing microwaves into a narrow beam, tripling the data rate.

(FATEC- 2007) MAPPING CRIME Police around the world are using technology to anticipate where the bad guys will strike next. A decade ago, Bogot had a bad name. Violent crime was out of control. Rather than buying more guns or patrol cars, Bogots cops went for something bigger: science. The city began superimposing millions of police bulletins onto digitized city maps to pinpoint which bandits were at work and where, down to the doorstep. By displaying crime data on easy-to-read city maps, police were able to target urban hot spots and optimize street patrols. Murders have since fallen by a third in the past five years and the polices approval rating has soared. Crime mapping has made us faster and more efficient, says Gen. Luiz Alberto Gmez, head of Bogot Metropolitan Police. We are serving the neighborhoods better. So are police in several countries, as the virtues of high-tech crimefighting become clear. Spiking crime rates everywhere from Colombia to Brazil, India to South Africa, have encouraged more and more cops to draw on technology to anticipate where criminals are going to strike next, so their thinly stretched forces can be at the right place at the right time. Without computerized crime analysis, says Alexandre Peres, a government security strategist in Pernambuco, northeast Brazil, policing is guesswork. The trend goes back to the early 1990s, when New York City police started using CompStat, a computer-driven mapping tool. In the next decade or so, violent crimes tumbled by 70 percent; the city now ranks 222nd in the country in crime. Major cities across the United States and Europe followed New Yorks lead, and now the rest of the world is catching on.

(FATEC -2006) GRAND THEFT IDENTITY Millions of people now have a new reason to dread the mailbox. In addition to the tried-and-true collection of Letters You Never Want to See - the tax audit, the high cholesterol reading, the college-rejection letter - there is now the missive that reveals 1you are on the fast track to becoming a victim of identity theft. Someone may have taken possession of your credit-card info, bank account or other personal data that would enable him or her to go on a permanent shopping spree - leaving you to deal with the financial, legal and psychic bills. Deborah Platt Majoras got the pain letter recently, from DSW Shoe Warehouse. Hers was among more than a million credit-card numbers that the merchant stored in an ill-protected database. So when hackers busted in, they got the information to buy stuff in her name - and 1.4 million other peoples names. Its scary, she says. Part of it is the uncertainty that comes with it, not knowing whether sometime in the next year my credit-card number will be abused. Now she must take steps to protect herself, including re-examining charges closely, requesting a credit report and contacting the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to put her complaint into its ID-theft database. The latter step should be easy for her, since Majoras is the FTC chairman.
