Human babies and adults express higher attentional orientation to social stimuli, especially faces, compared to other non-social stimuli. The literature already points to eye-tracking patterns (such as fixations) for babies and adults, also pointing to gender effects. However, there are still gaps in the development of this behavior in children of different age groups in typically developing children. This research aimed to investigate the pattern of eye-tracking of children between 2 and 6 years, grouped by age (2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 years) and sex (male and female) during observation of social and non-social figures. The following instruments were applied: SON-7-R2½ instruments, Autism Behavior Checklist, and a social and non-social stimuli test (which had eye fixation recorded on eye-tracking device). We observed difference in the fixation time for objects and faces due to age group. In addition, children tended to spend more time observing social stimuli compared to non-social stimuli. Positive correlations were observed in the fixation of faces, eyes and mouth and between fixation time on objects and mouths images. We found no effects due to sex. This study is among the first to point out some development indicators of social cognition, recorded by eye screening during observation of social and non-social stimuli, which could lead to the development of further tools and evaluation techniques of social cognition in children.

This research project is aimed at delivering the outcomes of a study on the presence of contemporary works of art in multidisciplinary art exhibition spaces, and the dimensions assumed by them there. These places are unrelated to the neutrality of the white cube a term used to name spaces which are specifically set to host art exhibitions. In order to attain this goal, the development of this research paper is supported by the procedures and initiatives taken to make art exhibitions possible in the spaces previously mentioned, attempting to clarify the relational aspects that have grounded the curatorial actions as well as the artistic poetics which turned out to be part of the institutional collection. In this sense, the function that an institution can fulfill as a mediator space for art is investigated, and the circumstances where the curatorial critical position and bias adopted to select the works of art are made relevant, permeating the instances which articulate the art system: production, communication, reception. The research project is presented as a reflection on the curatorial activity that has involved artistic poetics entirely formulated in relation to multidisciplinary spaces belonging to three SESC s branches in São Paulo city, which started operating between 2010 and 2011 and have been inserting Brazilian contemporary works of art in several places which house its social cultural actions. Its purpose is to assess the art object as a factor of interaction and knowledge, as well as the institution s role in educating the audience on contemporary art.

O presente trabalho pretende analisar a (in)constitucionalidade do art. 25 da Lei 13.606/18. O dispositivo introduz a figura da indisponibilidade administrativa de bens do contribuinte pelo Fisco antes do início da execução fiscal na hipótese de o crédito tributário restar inadimplido após a inscrição em dívida ativa e notificação do sujeito passivo para o pagamento. A análise se propõe a esmiuçar os fundamentos das inúmeras Ações Diretas de Inconstitucionalidade propostas perante o Supremo Tribunal Federal em face da medida, cujos argumentos alcançam a possibilidade da inconstitucionalidade formal e material do art. 25 da Lei 13.606/18.. Preceitos constitucionais como o critério da proporcionalidade, devido processo legal substancial, contraditório e ampla defesa, reserva de jurisdição, direito de propriedade e livre iniciativa são discutidos. Além, põe-se em foco a tendência de desjudicalização da cobrança do crédito tributário e a seletividade de execuções fiscais como prováveis impulsionadores da inovação normativa em discussão, bem como em outras anteriores nesse mesmo sentido.

This research used the analysis of the stakeholders on the elaboration of the scenarios for Brazilian e-commerce retailer. It was sought to show if the research reveals new or increased stakeholders in the Internet environment. The elaboration of the first-level scenarios for the electronic commerce sector, through the analysis of stakeholders, was conducted by the application of the method proposed by a team of Brazilian researchers, that has identified the problems and challenges of e-commerce retailers for a horizon of five years. The Internet offers elements that interfere with the achievement of the company's objectives: it alters markets, empowers consumers and non-consumers that influence the reputation of companies. Much has been studied about the tooling available on the Internet, however, a gap has been identified for the study of the influence of the Internet, the entities and forces that operate in it and influence the organizations. Companies operating on the Internet run the risk of having their assets affected by the activities of new or empowered stakeholders in their action in cyberspace. The e-commerce retailer is booming in the country and has on the Internet its vital sap. We chose the e-commerce sector because it was heavily immersed in the Internet environment. Stakeholder Theory and Stakeholder Analysis are appropriate for the study of the dynamics of the ongoing changes in the new business models in society. The use of scenarios is a useful technique for emerging industries and is a powerful device for strategic choices. The research has an exploratory nature, uses mixed methods, presenting a qualitative initial stage, with in depth interview to ten specialists, aiming to reveal the variables of the studied system. Each of the interviewees generated, on average, 13.5 variables, which testifies the efficiency of the method adopted. The second and third stage of the research consisted in the application of quantitative questionnaires, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze and organize the data collected. The second step was to classify the variables with respect to importance and certainty, and the third step sought relations of dependence and dominance between them. The study resulted in four future scenarios: Brazil's pro-market, Brazil's public policies, For the worst there are no limits, and How good my Internet was. Between the first and second stage, this work contributed to a structured content analysis stage, which revealed the categories Electronic Payment Systems, Investments in Innovation and Technology, Privacy and Security, Economic Aspects, National Infrastructure Loopholes, Tax System Obstructions , Legal Aspects, Information Security Policy, Relationships, and New Stakeholders. The results of the research indicated that the proposed scenario elaboration method is efficient and effective. Seven categories of new stakeholders in the digital environment have been found: disruptive organizations, Google and Facebook, not consumers who disseminate haters, applications, digital influencers, activist groups, and hackers. In the latter, four categories were found: hacker, criminal hacker, hacker activist and ethical hacker.

Due to the crisis of the traditional judicial model, based on the adjudicated solution, unable to promote social pacification and provide a fair legal order, obstructing access to justice in Brazil, and ultimately citizenship, this study intends to analyze mediation of civil conflicts as an autonomous procedure to the jurisdiction (extra-procedural mediation) and the mediation of civil conflicts inserted as procedural phase (paraprocessal mediation), due to the bias of the social pacification capacity of both procedures. To do so, it analyzes, compares, and differentiates the various alternative means of conflict resolution before and after the Legal Framework of Mediation. The analysis made it possible to verify that paraprocessal and extraprocedural mediations are mechanisms that should coexist in the brazilian justice system, but the solution to the crisis of access to justice depends on a change in the culture of litigation, whether by civil society or between operators of Law. Another relevant finding to the study is that the new Mediation, so that it contributes to the social pacification of the Brazilian State, must face challenges, of several orders. The first type of highlighted challenge is the culture of litigation, residence and change and mentality of the operators of the Law. Second, the educational challenges and those related to the (professional) exercise of mediation were highlighted. The third type of challenges identified were those related to the implementation and effectiveness of mediation. Once considered such challenges, this study emphasized the analysis of the obligation of the mediation audience, and the relationship of mediation with the culture of peace.

This research was intended to analyze how existing information systems in organizations can assist them by supporting the functions of Organizational Memory. In rapidly changing environments, the ability to absorb and use knowledge can give organizations competitive advantage, therefore, becoming a valuable asset that needs to be effectively managed. Challenged by staff turnover, reorganization processes, merge and acquisitions and outsourcing, companies need to create alternatives to retain organizational knowledge and preserve its memory. To this end, a literature review of Organizational Memory (OM) and Information Systems (IS) was carried out to identify which structures and OM functions could be supported by IS. This review underlined that functionalist approach of OM construct is incomplete when disregarding aspects, such as: the memory that exists in personal relationships, collective or supra individual, political mediation that determines what should or should not be remembered and problems arising from the malfunction of the OM. To achieve the research, an interpretive design was selected, using a basic qualitative research method of exploratory nature. In-depth interviews were carried out using semi-structured script, with managers of information technology and members of the business related areas. During the qualitative analysis, performed through content analysis, seven categories were identified, among which: Information Systems functions that support Organizational Memory, Structure of Organizational Memory, Internal collaboration is the basis for Organizational Memory and Organizational Memory Dysfunctions were used. A relational schema was developed from these categories supporting upcoming studies to understand: the relationship between Information Systems and Organizational Memory structures; the relationship between Organizational Memory and Change Management process; how collaboration and internal relationships can influence the Organizational Memory when supported by IS. The research results indicated that the IS supports some of the OM structures and systems, capable of dealing with less structured information and more complex decisions produce a greater contribution to the Organization Memory.

Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) are complex developmental multifactorial disorders with high rate of herdability. In this context, prenatal and perinatal risk factors also have been documented, such as maternal and fetal hypotiroidism, fetal exposition to alcohol, thalidomide; misoprostol and valproic acid, MMR vaccine among others. Epidemiological prospective studies accumulate evidences suggesting that advanced parental age; obstetric complications and intrapartum hypoxia are the main risk factors. Clinical and experimental evidences points out that if the fetus is exposed to antenatal maternal stress the child are more likely to have developmental problems including the autism spectrum disorders phenotype. This study evaluated the frequency of 50 perinatal complications and 36 psychological stressors in 44 pregnancies of the 19 PDD patient´s mothers. All the subjects were assisted at APAE from the Barueri municipality in the State of São Paulo. The main results of the study were: a) lower mean maternal and paternal age among non-PDD pregnancies; b) 19% and mean of 9,4 perinatal complications in PDD gestations versus 14,6% and mean of 7,5 for non-PDD gestations; c) more CNS insults among PDD gestations; d) expressive occurrence of psychological stressors in the life of these women, in PDD gestations or not; e) increased psychological stressors number in PDD gestations. There was no statistically significance in the pointed differences.
