One of the most important components of the economy is the price of foreign currency, in this case the dollar. The control of volatility and price level, essential to avoid economic turbulence, almost obliges the monetary authority to intervene in the foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange swap, a widely used derivative in Brazil, is an instrument that allows sterilized interventions, with no impact on liquidity. The study identified, on the basis of high frequency data analysis of the future dollar market, the impact that the Exchange Swap auctions provoke on business volatility in the future foreign exchange market, the difference of reaction to the scheduled auctions and surprise, to rollovers or offers of new maturities. Numerous studies are inconclusive, given the method, period and / or applied tests. The ARCH-GARCH models were used to identify the level of volatility in each adjacent period to each auction. The quantification of periods with the increase volatility indicates that the interventions of Central Bank through Currency Swaps have little effectiveness in reducing the volatility in the trades made in the future foreign exchange market, standard contracts - DOL and mini-contracts - WDO, especially during ten minutes of the auction. On the other hand, the auctions to offer new maturities, scheduled or not, increase the volatility in a significant number of trading sessions, especially in the ten minutes after the auction.

Identifies the bibliographical publications in journals on joint attention, which is characterized by the ability of triadic coordination of attention between the self, the other, and a third event, object or symbol. The results are related to the review of literature on the subject, concerning the investigation about the influence of joint attention on autism. Thus, studies published and indexed in the data bases MEDLINE, LILACS and SCIELO were previously identified. It highlights joint attention as a possible predictor of risk of children autism, and concludes that its development tends to occur in the first year of life. Joint attention represents an important type of communication, besides being a possible way for children to learn about things in their environment.

In the triple border of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, trafficking in women is recurrent. The present study focuses on the International Trafficking of Women for the Purposes of Sexual Exploitation in the region of the Brazilian triple border. Border countries are signatories to the Additional Protocol to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime for the Prevention, Suppression and Punishment of Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. Both states seek through internal laws and public policies to implement the Palermo Protocol, but the measures used prove to be inefficient to prevent crime, in front of a border that has a failed inspection. The research will indicate the laws and actions of each country to combat the International Trafficking of Women for sexual exploitation and its reflexes in the region of the cities of Foz do Iguaçu, Puerto Iguazú and Ciudad del Est.

A presente monografia visa analisar a efetivação do direito concorrencial no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos, utilizando o caso U.S., et al. v. Ticketmaster Entertainment, INC. et al. para melhor entendimento das práticas americanas, e traçando breve paralelo entre as possíveis similaridades entre os sistemas. Para tanto, inicialmente traçou-se um panorama geral a respeito do direito concorrencial, incluindo seu desenvolvimento histórico, fundamentos e conceitos, sendo seguido por uma abordagem sobre a indústria do entretenimento de música ao vivo e todas as particularidades deste mercado. Em um segundo momento, analisou-se especificamente o caso já citado e o tratamento prático dado ao ato de concentração econômica perante a legislação norte-americana. Ao final, é delineado o tratamento dado a tais atos pela legislação brasileira, bem como traçado breve panorama entre os principais aspectos de ambos sistemas normativos. Para a efetivação do presente trabalho, realizou-se pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter bibliográfico – com base na doutrina existente sobre o assunto – e documental – diante dos normativos e relatórios públicos, nacionais e norte-americanos, que tratam do tema –, bem como trouxe estudo de importante caso no âmbito americano. Ao final, depreendeu-se a real necessidade de atuação dos órgãos controladores do mercado econômico, para que o direito concorrencial se efetive nas relações práticas, não apenas na análise das operações e na imposição de medidas mitigadoras aos atos anticoncorrenciais mas, também, durante a vigência do acordo firmado, para a adequação das medidas à mutável realidade econômica.

O presente artigo objetiva realizar um estudo de casos que envolveram discussões acerca da relação de consumo no que tange a publicidade enganosa e a sua aplicação ou não nos julgamentos dos casos selecionados que tiveram grande repercussão, conhecidos como “Uniesp Paga”. A publicidade engloba várias formas de persuadir o espectador-consumidor. Com a vasta concorrência experimentada no comércio em geral, a publicidade tornou-se um diferencial no tocante a atrair a atenção do consumidor ao que se pretende vender. Já a publicidade enganosa induz o consumidor a adquirir algo que iludido por falsas promessas, não o adquiriria se o fossem repassadas corretamente as informações acerca da “coisa” anunciada. Analisou-se onze processos de diferentes Comarcas e Varas do Estado de São Paulo e o que foi verificado aponta que a maioria dos julgadores entenderam não haver o dano narrado pelos estudantes no caso “Uniesp Paga”.

This dissertation intended to utter cultural and discursive impressions in two North American film advertisements disclosed for the Portuguese and Brazilian audience in movie theaters and video rental shops. The theoretical background was based on the theory of Discourse Analysis (French-oriented) and Culture, as well as respective identity formations, as a manner of expression of ideas, feelings, behaviors, ideologies and sense effects. It was followed by a brief history on how the English, Portuguese and Brazilian languages were formed in order to understand cultural differences encountered in language and by a presentation of matters arising out of advertisements, comprised of title and image, whose cultural production is meant for the film audience. In consultation to the cinema history, advertisements of Miss Congeniality (2000) and It s a Wonderful Life (1946) were selected, evidencing that the disclosure of North American ideology a is not a feature pertaining to a certain decade and that the title thereof is not inclined to be literal as time passes by as it was expected by the massive influence of the English language as a worldwide language. Upon the analysis of these impressions, it was observed the difference of use within the same language - the Portuguese - as a manner of expressing the North American culture against Portuguese and Brazilian cultures.

Era este o cenário de Santa Cecília desde meados da década de 1970 até recentemente. Basta uma pesquisa breve na internet para notar que algo novo vem acontecendo com este tradicional bairro de São Paulo. Chamadas de reportagens como “Jovens mudam a cara da Santa Cecília”1 são comuns desde o começo da última década. Todas as matérias têm em comum uma mesma argumentação: o bairro está passando por uma retomada no mercado imobiliário. Existe hoje, ainda, uma confusão do que se define por Santa Cecília. A transição entre Higienópolis, Vila Buarque, Consolação e Campos Elíseos, Santa Ifigênia e República nunca foi bem definida. Há alguns ainda que vão além e confundem com Perdizes e Pacaembu. No curta metragem “O que foi, o que é e o que será Santa Cecília”2, José Marques Araújo, então diretor da Secretaria Municipal de Planejamento, afirma que essa confusão se dá a uma não delimitação formal dos perímetros por parte do poder público. Por critérios metodológicos definiremos como Santa Cecília o polígono formado entre as ruas Jaguaribe, Dr. Veiga Filho, Rua Tupi, Avenida General Olímpio da Silveira, Rua Amaral Gurgel, Av. São João e a rua Dr. Frederico Steidel. Esse perímetro foi definido a partir de análises de mapas históricos nos quais é possível observar a consolidação dessa porção da cidade: a abertura de ruas em chácaras próximas entre si num período próximo de tempo, sob uma mesma lógica. Assim, aquilo que não é nem Higienópolis, nem Vila Buarque, tampouco República, Campos Elíseos ou Pacaembu, pode ser considerado Santa Cecília

This study suggests a discussion of contemporary architecture and its correlation with the lightweight construction systems within a specific approach resulting from materiality and tectonics that have a catalytic role of technological and architectural construction. For architecture, materiality is manifested in its concrete and formal physical expression and contributes to the outcome of the spatiality of the resulting building. The form is a result of the qualification material and performance while matter. Is training conceptive and inventive architect explore the geometry or not shape's geometry. The constructive constraints of the architectural object are reflections of a tectonic able to solve and lead to the technological qualities that limit the performance of building systems must meet. The verification of the segments considered in this study through analysis of works characteristics of these settings will allow verification of the role of technology and development of lightweight construction systems in the settings of contemporary architecture and consequently their relationship to material innovations that these architectures can be realized.

Discovered in 1866 by John Langdon Down, Down syndrome (DS) is characterized by an error in the distribution of cell chromosome. People with this syndrome develop physical and mental characteristics specific. So have the later development of physical and cognitive functions, being taken to delay the acquisition of "motor milestones" basic. Some factors may jeopardize the motor performance of these children, among which we mention the low socioeconomic status. The DS affects not only the child but also his entire family, which is a key part of this development process, affecting mainly the quality of life of primary family caregiver.The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of socioeconomic status on the functional performance of children with Down syndrome and quality of life of their caregivers. It is a cross-sectional study with 20 family caregivers of children with DS, aged 2-5 years seen at the Centro Integrado de Educação EspeciaL- CIES in the city of Teresina-PI. We used the following instruments: Inventory Pediatric Evaluation of Disability (PEDI), Economic Classification Criteria of Brazil, Whoqol-short and an identification sheet with information about the child and caregiver.The results revealed that children with higher socioeconomic status (SS) had worse functional performance under the three areas of functional abilities (self-care, mobility and social function) compared with children from higher socioeconomic levels. The area had the lowest average was the social function of self-care and then, finally, mobility. Regarding quality of life, met with lower scores in the four areas of family caregivers of lower socioeconomic status, being the most affected environmental field. When comparing the quality of life and functional ability, there was a moderate correlation between self-care area with the environmental and weak linear correlation between the other areas of functional ability with the areas of quality of life.We conclude that the SS has an influence on the functional performance of children with Down syndrome and quality of life of their caregivers. Since the functional performance of children have a weak relationship to quality of life of caregivers. Thus, it is believed that the multidisciplinary treatment, educational lectures for parents and the implementation of appropriate public policies can diminish the negative influence of SS in the child's functional performance and quality of life of the caregiver.

The purpose of the present study shall be to analyze, from the judicial point of view, this novel theme in the Brazilian judicial ordinance, known as Regulatory Agencies and the control of its performance. Far from being perfect, or aiming to answer all questions that are involved in this subject, this monograph searches for the doctrine in the study of the types of performance controls used by these agencies, which certainly is not studied quite enough. To reach the intended objective, we propose a brief analysis of the Government Interference in the Economic Area and its Ruling and Investigating Function. We submit the idea of ruling agency, as a special department, with its function and restriction of actual work. The difference between the concepts of ruling and regulations, as well as autonomy and independence will also be studied for a better understanding of the proposed subject. So, this study is not the first one and will not be the last one of the subject in this track. Certainly it is worthy to give continuity to researches already made in this area. It aims also to stimulate thoughts and debates to advance the understanding of the subject, opening the mind to more questions, looking for more efficiency in controlling, including the creation of new techniques of control and improvement of the existing ones.
