In 1998, the government launched a document called Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais , (PCNs), to help teachers make their teaching practice more meaningful and relevant. The document emphasises the importance of a sociointeractional approach when it comes to teaching a foreign language. This research paper looks into the theoretical aspects of the document and tries to analyse up to what extent primary and high school teachers are able to put into practice the suggested approach.. A brief explanation of the development of the educational system in Brazil is given so that the reader can understand how the teaching of foreign languages has gotten to the point where it is nowadays. It reaches the conclusion that although the role of the teacher, in theory, has become more complex because it is expected that teachers take the part of facilitators and collaborators, when it comes to practice they still rely on the traditonal approach, transmitting skills and knowledge.

The main objective of this work was study the possibility of using a fillers hybrid consisting of calcium carbonate, and micronized rubber waste obtained from discarded tires after use, dispersed in the matrix of recycled polypropylene. The composites were prepared with different concentrations of loads: 30% of rubber waste + 10% CaCO3 20% waste rubber + 7.5% CaCO3, 10% of waste rubber + 5% CaCO3; only 20% CaCO3, and only 20% of rubber waste. The composites were characterized by rheological tests, by measurements of flow index (ASTM D 1238) and dynamic-mechanical analysis (DMA), for mechanical tests of tensile strength (ASTM D 638), three point bending (ASTM D 790), Izod impact (ASTM D 256) and Shore D hardness (ASTM D 2240), heat deflection temperature under load (ASTM D 648), Vicat softening point (ASTM D 1525). Were also made images of the fracture surface by MEV (scanning electron microscope). Comparing the results of tensile strength tests, was observed that the use of these different loads, occurred a decrease of the tensile strength until failure. The flow index showed a considerable decrease with addition of loads, both in the composites as in the hybrids. The elastic modulus increased with the addition of calcium carbonate, the material became more rigid. The addition of rubber made the modulus decreased considerably, the material became less rigid. The images obtained by MEV could confirm the poor adhesion between polymer matrix and the particles of CaCO3 and waste rubber. The work showed that with the hybrid composites from different concentrations, occurred significant changes in the composites and hybrids properties. About the cost analysis, the study showed that the use of hybrid loads in recycled polypropylene thermoplastic resin becomes advantageous when the cost difference between the recycled resin, without charge, and the hybrid composites, is considerable. In point of view of environment preserving, the use of recyclable materials as raw for the production of new products, becomes a practical solution to obtain compatibility and harmony between development and environmental quality, in other words, sustainable development.

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade estudar a remuneração dos atletas de futebol através da captação do direito de arena e exploração do direito de sua imagem em decorrência da crescente globalização. Trata-se de um estudo sobre as peculiaridades dos direitos da personalidade, do direito de imagem e direito de arena, além de abordar o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro que disciplina essas matérias, bem como explicar a natureza jurídica de remuneração do direito de imagem e direito de arena. O trabalho também traz o entendimento jurisprudencial da Justiça do Trabalho acerca da classificação do direito de arena e direito de imagem. Além disso, é feita a análise de dois casos concretos, sendo um de competência da Justiça do Trabalho sobre o direito de imagem e outro na seara fiscal acerca do direito de imagem. Desta forma, este trabalho demonstra a relevância do direito de imagem e arena como complementação da remuneração dos jogadores profissionais de futebol.

The Strategic Master Plan (PDE) of São Paulo and the laws that are part of the urban policy of the municipality have a direct impact on the urban design resulting from the city. However, it is observed that the urban scales addressed by these laws are abstract, generic and disregard the local specificities for the concretization of spaces. The omission of the particularities and the lack of articulation of the instruments at the different urban scales question the conception of the urban policies of the city, corroborating with Barbosa (2016) for whom urbanism in Brazil is conditional and has improvised results. The application of urban design strategies as spatial computer elements to subway stations appears as a relevant agenda because it can promote the understanding of how the process of materialization of urban space occurs and can occur in these places. In the first part of the dissertation is constructed the definition of urban design as well as the distinction with the related terms, urban design and masterplan. The analysis of two international urban design experiments in the second part proposes to validate the previously formed concepts and help in the formulation of the parameters that will be adopted in the investigation of the object of study. In the third part, the PDE 2014 urban planning instruments present in the region of the future Santa Marina subway station in São Paulo are examined, ratifying the assumptions previously assumed and demonstrating the deficiencies in the articulations between the instruments in the areas of influences determined by the axes of structuring urban. Finally, the last chapter aims to evaluate the potentialities and shortcomings of the case study from the point of view of urban design, seeking to propose recommendations to enhance and qualify the area evaluated and similar cases.

Este trabalho discorre sobre o corpo se movimenta no espaço, se ocupa do espaço, reage ao espaço. Sendo assim, a arquitetura e o sujeito estão em constante interação, em constante jogo de sedução. A reflexão sobre o corpo no âmbito arquitetônico deve ir além das medidas. O controle é uma forma de poder, e suas lógicas formam uma máquina capaz de regrar mais do que somente o espaço. As máquinas de controle estão presentes nas sociedades como um todo, atritando sempre em seu ritmo, à espera de uma população superobediente, dócil; meras engrenagens que sincronizam com as rotações da máquina. Cabe então refletir sobre a reação ao controle, a emancipação do sujeito, e como o espaço, a cidade e os territórios são capazes de instigar os contra-atritos. No que seria uma retomada de um erotismo, recuos e avanços, no ato de contemplar e se deixar seduzir pelo espaço. O momento de suspenção em que há uma tomada de consciência do indivíduo, a curiosidade e o explorar o lugar, a fim de criar novos atritos, novas liberdades...

The advent of the Internet and the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT s)generated new spaces for communication and collaboration between groups of people in geographically distinct regions. The association of Web technology with instrument automation and control by computer has made possible the development of the so called Remote Laboratories or WebLabs - distributed environments that allow to access and control experiments remotely through a network or the Internet in real time and with the sensation of presence. In this work, a WebLab was developed for the study and caracterization of a WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) system, aiming to support and complement activities in faceto-face and distance courses on Optical Communications. Drivers and graphic user interfaces (GUI s) were developed with the software LabVIEW for control and data acquisition of instruments used in a remote experiment to measure the basic features of a WDM system. An application was also developed with the software VPI for the numerical simulation of Bit Error Rate (BER) measurements. This work is part of the activities related to the participation of the Mackenzie Photonics Laboratory in the KyaTera Project of FAPESP s TIDIA Program.

The Greater ABC Paulista region, known for being the cradle of political unionism and accommodate large industries and car manufacturers, became after the end of 1950s an important economic centrality of the country. The region is under deep transformations since the late 1990s in their urban space involving urban renewal of large central areas, traditionally industrialized in degradation and spatial underuse process, the productive restructuring from some economic sectors consequences. The urban renewal of these areas, located strategically along the entire urban centralities the diversity of supply of services, shopping centers, culture and leisure are significant in drawing up a strategic urban planning to mitigate known issues these cities have inherited over the last 60 years of exclusive development as the slums, economic informality, poor or without access to essential services, environmental degradation, long journeys combined with high costs and poor quality of public transport. The urban renewal project discussed in this paper in greater depth, known as Cidade Tognato, is one of these cases, a large degraded area situated in a prime area of São Bernardo do Campo, with access to complete urban infrastructure, commercial and cultural centers and city services quality. The project Cidade Tognato, of private enterprise, had strong evolving and investment of local government to enable auxiliary infrastructure adding six works in São Bernardo Moderna Program and especially in articulating laws and establishment aid for debt conversion with the city public treasury of Tecelagem e Fiação Tognato into three lots, offered in four auctions. In this paper, we attempt to associate the concepts and best practices disseminated by academics works of urban projects fields by the Local Development Programme, in rebuilding and reinventing cities process, mainly european models assessing burdens and benefits associated to the large ABC within São Paulo metropolis.

The Scottish writer James Matthew Barrie wrote for the first time about Peter Pan in a book called The Little White Bird, in 1902. In 1904, the writer enlarged the character s universe making, this time, a stage play called Peter Pan or The Boy that Wouldn t Grow up; however, the romance as we know it would only be constructed in 1911, when Barrie decided to rewrite and extend his original play. That is how one of the best well known classics of children s literature was born: Peter Pan and Wendy, a book that, today, is part of many people s childhood and life; the story has even created a myth: the myth of the boy who never grows up, the myth of the eternal and adventurous youth. This way, the romance gave origin to many post-texts, gaining numbers of adaptations since it was first published. By making analysis based on Mikhail Bakhtin s dialogism theory, on Julia Kristeva s intertextuality theory and on Gerard Genette transtextuality theory, the present essay intends to study three different readings and/or adaptations of the base-text Peter Pan and Wendy, in order to verify how the historical/cultural context modifies, increases or contradicts this 1911 version.The texts chosen for the proposed analysis are: Peter Pan, by Monteiro Lobato (1930); Peter Pan the animation from Walt Disney Pictures (1950); and Peter Pan the movie, from the Australian director P. J. Hogan (2003).

This research, while attempting to establish a dialogue between Science of Religion and Education, brings into focus the actions and attitudes of Benedicta Stahl Sodré (1900 - 1973), moved by a spirit of self-denial and non-conformity, she contributed to steer a different path to the Brazilian educational system in the 20th Century. This work can be divided into two sets of complementary actions: historical investigation and analysis of the material gathered. The first set of actions is comprised of: 1. a presentation of the Brazilian historical background, of that time span; 2. a historical recollection of the educational movements that culminated with the adoption of differentiated methods for teaching literacy and classroom reading; and 3. the organization of biographical data, gathered or inferred from extant documents that related to or belonged to the educator being researched. The second set of action is comprised of: 1. a formal and content-wise analysis of the books published by this educator; 2. an analysis of the sequence of content and exercises proposed in her books; and 3. a description of the resources, methods and strategies adopted in this work. Both sets of actions are built, as we intend to present in this thesis, on a foundational religious conviction, which finds its concrete form in a constant search for a holistic education of the individual person. In order to demonstrate this, it is made evident that the themes and the values, which are found in the Sodré materials, can be related to beliefs and attitudes. Therefore, this work represents and opportunity of recognition of Presbyterian contribution towards changes in the educational routes in the first half of the 20th Century.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar as competências e organização interna do Tribunal de Contas da União à luz da Constituição Federal de 1988, de modo a identificar possíveis limites à sua atuação, tanto no âmbito do controle prévio das contratações públicas, como também nos procedimentos de fiscalização dos ajustes em execução, considerando a discricionariedade intrínseca à administração pública na tomada de decisões, os impactos e prejuízos suportados pelos particulares contratados e pela própria administração pública decorrentes de determinações exaradas pela Corte de Contas que exorbitam de sua competência fixada na Constituição Federal de 1988. Espera-se analisar os limites da atuação do Tribunal de Contas em relação ao controle da Administração Pública, problematizando os perigos de um controle que desborde das competências constitucionais e infraconstitucionais.

This work aimed a fit analysis between individual and Organizational Values, and the purpose of search for differences between sub units in an organization. Differently from P-O Fit studies, that use to evaluate fit using a single instrument to measure Personal and Organizational Values, this research added to the analysis the Work Values system and the hierarchy and, used three different instruments, validated to Brazilian culture to the measurement of values ( EVP Personal Values Scale, EVT Work Values Scale and IPVO Organizational Values Scale), all of them are based on the General Values Theory. This work is a descriptive research that used quantitative methodology. The data was collected using a closed questionnaire in a sample of 397 individuals, sub divided in three sub units of a service organization. The results made evident that congruencies vary according to the sub units and that the work values allow us to identify a bigger number of positive or negative congruencies.

The case study aimed to identify decision determinants on foreign retail company to internationalize. The research is based on the growing process of globalization nowadays that increasingly reduces the boundary between countries and allow companies to seek new markets, as well as the need for further studies within the retail sector taking into account all its specificities and characteristics. The chosen theory for the study is the Eclectic Paradigm, which states that companies will internationalize if they have ownership location and internalization advantages. The preference for this theory resides on its application to specific retail market and the importance of the process in the vision of the invested country and the investor. The research is exploratory on its objectives, it is a case study on its procedures and has a qualitative approach. The case study although unique is integrated, once it involves more than one unit of analysis. The case unit is an Australian fashion retail company founded in the early nineties, privately held, which operates in seventeen countries and mainly through its owned stores. The company entry movements were grouped into seven groups of internationalization that were evaluated through analysis of documents, internal files, interviews and direct documentation. Five interviews were held with executives and company managers for more detailed processes. The research results demonstrate adherence to the theory used and the business focus of the case study and identified the determinants for the company‟s internationalization as market positioning through the offer of quality and affordable products to the general population, the maintenance of the business culture in the new markets, the entrance into markets with similar characteristics as the Head Office‟s, growing markets and predominantly young population with fashion interests, and reduced operating costs. A framework was structured based on the findings.

This thesis analyzes the governance instruments and the implementation of compliance programs within the scope of the state-level Public Administration, considering the context of risk mitigation in public management. The study starts from the context of development of corporate governance and compliance programs at the international level, its main foundations and the reasons for adapting and transferring these experiences to the Brazilian public sector with a focus on the state-level Executive Branch. The research uses the qualitative and quantitative methodology, through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire to collect information in the 26 States of the Brazilian Federation plus the Federal District, aiming to assess the degree of maturity of the implementation of compliance programs by the internal control bodies of at the state-level Public Administration. The research also uses an empirical methodology in the form of case studies highlighted from the experience observed in the States. Further, the research verifies, from the pillars that support compliance in the private sector, which are the parameters applicable to public sector compliance programs, so that public budgets are used to meet the public interest, reduce corruption and irregular use of resources. For this purpose, the study uses bibliographic, legislative and empirical research as sources, based on hypotheticaldeductive and inductive methods, with the objective of conducting exploration of the subject based on the technical procedures of gathering information in national and foreign bibliographies, as well as in current legislation within the States. The empirical study aims to evaluate the challenges faced in the implementation of integrity compliance programs in the Public Administration at the state level. As a result, the empirical study intends, in addition to contributing to the scientific debate, to identify the degree of maturity of integrity compliance programs in the state-level Executive Branch in Brazil. Further, the empirical research analyzes the challenges faced in this process, in addition to promoting proposals to encourage the use of new information and communication technologies to improve public governance and the implementation of efficient compliance programs, thus, strengthening preventive controls in the public sector

This research has as the main theme State Constitutions and Economic Order in an analytical perspective that sought to establish the limits on the constituent power of the states in the deliberations on Economic Law. The overall objective of this research was to investigate the constituent power of the states in their deliberations on Economic Law, in order to analyze the possible limits to this autonomy, considering the effective exercise of it. Therefore, we considered theoretical aspects of the federal system and its division of powers, issues of autonomy of federative units and the general limits part of this prerogative, state competence in the field of Economic Law to reach to the real limits that were imposed to state constitution regarding economic law after analyzing the twenty-six Brazilian state constitutions. The research is developed from a bibliographic and legislative research and has its analysis based on the qualitative method of data analysis. The theoretical framework is based on references in the subject such as Oswaldo Aranha Bandeira de Mello, Raul Machado Horta, Anna Candida da Cunha Ferraz, Gilberto Bercovici,Washington Albino Peluso de Souza, among others.
