The present work intends to reflect as relations between child, contemporary art and exhibition spaces. From the experience as a mediator in several exhibitions for the observation of an action of the body of children and their responses to the proposed mediation having as a guide the experience of the encounter. Being this experience a source of growth and foundation for a construction of meanings, this research arises from the interest of investigating a cognitive-ludic-aesthetic relationship of the child's and his body's action towards art in the exhibition space and to problematize cultural mediation as activation of bodies in these spaces and power of any propositional object. Contemporary art, such as affective exchanges, dialogues, and the creation of propulsive devices, are central questions of analysis: the exhibition spaces that house art, understood as spaces of enchantment, discovery, exploration, and just pure fun? With their expography and curation, can they influence the process of discovery and meanings for the child from their action? Starting from life as a mediator and from visits to spaces aimed at children, or not, with their expositions and curatorship, space layout, visualization of works, reception and rules. The research presents itself in small histories reflected by the look of theory and become a learning anthropophagy. Thus, the process of discovery seeks to broaden an understanding of the aesthetic and emancipatory experience of children as a citizen public plunging into culture.

The purpose of the present dissertation is to demonstrate that the protestant ethic, especially that of Calvinist orientation, can be seen as an essential factor in the building of productive, wholesome e just work relations, as well as in the development of an effective management of persons in corporations.The research is developed from the central hypothesis that one of the key aspects of the spirit of capitalism is the protestant view of work as vocation and that in the original Calvinist perspective, this view of work is in accordance with the sacred Scriptures adopted by Christianity and should generate justice based personal and work relations.The retrieval of this Calvinist view of work is based on the approach of authors such as Abraham Kuyper and André Biéler, while also engaging with critical perspectives on Protestantism proposed by Karl Marx and Max Weber, among others. From our theoretical and bibliographical review, we seek a systematization of facts and foundations that demonstrate the relevance of the Calvinist work ethic and its influence in the development and progress of capitalism and for people management in corporations. Finally, we propose a management model applicable in corporations, based on Christian morals and codes of ethics, in which the focus is on the valorization of the human person, by means of a retrieval of the contribution of the Calvinist work ethic in its origin, regardless of the distortions and progressive secularization that this ethic has undergone with the progression of rationalism and individualism in modernity.

Amplifies the arguments about the conditioners time and space, penitentiary social relations, then divides the prison assimilation effects in different categories. Amplifies also the prisionization subjects and presents the conclusions of the experience known as the Stanford prison experiment. Afterwards presents an overview of the national penitentiary system with an analysis of official data related to prison population, its profile, prison units structures, services offered, recidivism rates and singularities of the social prison groups.

Open innovation has been understood as an important strategic alternative to bring external knowledge, in order to reinforce the internal resources and capabilities and thus the possibility of accelerate the process of innovation to generate value. In this way, it is possible think about how open innovation is understood in the firm? What are and how the dynamic capacities could be used in open innovation? Therefore, identify and develop the dynamic capabilities became necessary to utilize the internal and external opportunities of resources, capabilities, knowledges and Technologies for the firms. Thereby, the objective of this study was understood how and what dynamic capacities are related to open innovation in companies. For this, it was used the methodologic procedures of Grounded Theory guided by the work of Charmaz (2009), with support of the program NVIVO® V11 for data collect and analysis. The constant comparative method was used for the analysis of the sets of collected data, that was initially codified, in open form, followed by focused codification and finally by theoretical codification in the grounded theory, for development of the substantive theory. The results enabled elaborate the substantive theory based in the fact that: the open innovation is the strategy that permeates the ecosystem to bring the complement in the innovation process. The dynamic capabilities revealed for open innovation practice was: Mapping and updating trends in the market; Analysis and definition of trends and strategies; Mapping of internal resources; Establishment of what to do in open way; Mapping potential partners; Partners' establishments; Implementation of the partnership; Monitoring of the interaction in two levels; technical - within the project and relational - inside and outside the project and Evaluation of the result of the interaction and the relationship in the partnership. It is expected that the results of this study can contribute to the field of the strategic management by expanding the knowledge about open innovation and dynamic capabilities and in the business world practices.

This present work brings for discussion the results of a survey carried out with faculty that has significant experience in superior teaching in learning environments in the physical presence teaching mode and distance teaching through videoconference media. The survey seeks to learn how these professors perceive, among other aspects: the difference between real physical presence classes and those conducted by videoconference, what led them to this media, the difficulties found for accomplishing this work, and, according to their experiences, what are the capabilities that a professor needs to develop to work with videoconferencing. Aspects related to the material used in videoconferencing, both in relation to its preparation as well as its use, are approached, as well as the perception, their feeling, progress and difficulties. It is sought to extract from their perceptions the characteristics and competences required to act in a virtual learning environment of videoconferencing. The context of the videoconference was that of course attendants students and professors with teaching experience, and the videoconference was conducted as of a broadcasting studio with multipoint connection, i.e., the class was given simultaneously to four or five classes located in geographically dispersed places.
