The enforcement of human rights is not limited by the argument of sovereignty making it difficult for external bodies to restore the domestic legal order, nor can it be left to the host States alone to finance the public reception policies of migrants and refugees, which is a global mission. To illustrate the inadequacy of international mechanisms in guaranteeing the effectiveness of human rights, Venezuela is the case study used to observe the actual local crisis being shifted to other states whose public services are burdened by the unforeseen population increase. Given this scenario, in this study, it has been analysed the national and international judicial documents produced, the official statistics on human mobility, the refugee reception programs as well as judicial decisions, doctrine of Constitutional Law, International Law, International Law of Human Rights and International Law of Refugees. It is expected to demonstrate here, that the application of the human rights is above any argument over sovereignty to obstruct the performance of external bodies for the restoration of the internal legal order and urgent humanitarian assistance, as well as it cannot be left exclusively to the States hosting the migrants and refugees the task of financing public policies alone, as this is a global mission.

The global competitive environment is forcing organizations to become lean and effective. As a result, a growing number of companies is looking for innovation to bring efficiency in their areas of operation to keep competitive. Higher Education Institutions - HEI, facing competition in the education sector, look for ways to differentiate themselves through the development of new teaching methods, more efficient processes and services with superior quality at affordable costs. In this sense, the present study aimed to assess whether the Innovation is a Competitive Advantage factor in Distance College in Brazil. It is a study of the sectional type, using mixed methods (Qual/Quant). Qualitative data were collected through structured interviews with twelve managers of distance learning courses and analyzed by categories of analysis using NVivo software. Quantitative data were collected through 117 questionnaires using scale adapted Cravo (2008) and analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS software. Four constructs were identified on the scale of measurement of independent Technological Innovation variable (technological cutting edge, innovative posture, advantage in cost and risks associated with innovation) and five constructs in the variable measurement scale dependent Competitive Advantage (product development, incentives for participation and new ideas, internal base knowledge, isolation mechanisms and rarity of resources). Through factor analysis, we analyzed the correlation of technological innovation factors and competitive advantage, finding a correlation of 0.898 between these two variables.

The Brazilian auto industry has always been the target of constant sectorial incentives from the government, both for its development and for the promotion of the economy in general. The main objective of this study is to analyze the performance of the automobile industry, from the perspective of the sale of vehicles, in front of the different sectorial policies, involving the discharge of the IPI rate, which was practiced between 2000 and 2017. For this purpose, starting for the characterization of the Brazilian auto industry market structure, the historical evolution of the sector was analyzed and the variables identified in the economic literature were analyzed too, which have an impact on the sales of light vehicles in Brazil. The empirical work on the sector, in general, converges to the variables income, vehicle prices, and credit. Thus, the present work first sought to correlate sales, using as a proxy the number of vehicles licensed in the period, with each one of thos e variables. Before that, sought to assess the impact on vehicle sales of different government sectorial policies, involving reduction of IPI rates between 2000 and 2017, using the Granger causality test. The results of the study revealed that, in addition to the strong relationship between car sales and the economic, income, price and credit variables, the incentive policies involving reduction of IPI were statistically significant for sales, with IPI having precedence over vehicle.

This work has as its aim to analyze the Art and Architecture modernism s trajectory consolidation aspects in Brazil, studing the period of time that goes from Modern Art Week (1922) to Education and Health Ministry building project formulation (1936), in order to verify what manner economic, political, social and, above all, cultural order happenings have contributed to the appearance of the brazilian modern architecture that would be, in the following decades, issue for eulogious international studies. In view of the relationship between historical process, it makes an analysis that surpasses by a panoramic vision and that, following chronologic narration order, it extracts distincts elements that have already been separately studied in knowledge areas as history, literature, sociology, arts, architecture, etc., in order to compose a frame to allow understanding the Ministry s episode inside our history time line. Taking the success reached by our modern architecture as a presumption which is a result of a happy conciliations between modernity and tradition, this research goes to indicate signs, not only from the political and economical moments, but above all, from the modernist intellectuality proceeding from 22 Week, specially from nationalist groups, that let the brazilian architects to think about an architecture with brazilian characteristics, different from the architecture produced in other countries and continents.

Introdução: A inclusão de pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho é um assunto amplamente discutido, seja pelo caráter obrigatório imposto pela Lei de Cotas ou pela compreensão da responsabilidade social relacionada à promoção da igualdade entre todos os indivíduos. Atualmente, o censo estimou que 23,9% da população brasileira tenha algum tipo de deficiência (IBGE, 2010), no entanto, apenas 0,77% tem vínculo empregatício. Muitas empresas apresentam resistência em cumprir a Lei de Cotas por considerar baixa a escolaridade e a qualificação profissional dos candidatos com deficiência, sendo que 6,7% apresenta Ensino Superior Completo contra 10,4% para as pessoas sem deficiência. Para compreender essa realidade faz-se necessário reconhecer a longa trajetória de exclusão vivida por este grupo. Objetivo geral: compreender a experiência de trabalho de pessoas com deficiências com qualificação profissional que possuem vínculo empregatício. Método: estudo qualitativo de natureza exploratória. Foram realizadas duas rodas de conversas com 6 pessoas com deficiência de uma empresa privada da região metropolitana de São Paulo. Para a análise dos discursos foi utilizado o método hermenêutico-dialético. Resultados: Os entrevistados referiram que se não fosse a obrigatoriedade prevista em lei, as empresas não contratariam trabalhadores com deficiência. A possibilidade de crescimento de carreira é repleta de obstáculos, uma vez que ações de incentivo e retenção não são destinadas a esse público, fato atribuído ao desconhecimento por parte dos empregadores sobre as potencialidades das PcD. Foi identificado que a responsabilidade pelas adaptações é depositada nos indivíduos, no sentido de que estes se adaptam à organização do trabalho e não o contrário, sendo este fenômeno cercado por uma noção de superação, muito valorizada pelas empresas e pelas próprias pessoas com deficiência. Referem preconceito por parte das empresas e reproduzem diante de outros tipos de deficiência, sendo a deficiência física percebida como “mais branda” do que a intelectual. Conclusão: Ainda que as pessoas com deficiência tenham ensino superior ou especialização não são reconhecidas pelos empregadores pela qualificação profissional. É imprescindível que as empresas criem políticas de inclusão e gestão de diversidade, de forma que esse público não seja somente inserido nas organizações em um caráter tutelar, mas que seja desenvolvido e valorizado a fim de elevar a sensibilização quanto à promoção de diversidade para as empresas e para a sociedade.

This master's thesis presents and analyzes the production of the architect Francisco M.L. Petracco (1935, within São Paulo modern architecture in the 1950s. This survey has listed nearly 300 works attributed to the architect and has also formed a database by doing a residential project filing of Petracco’s works. The paper consists of four parts, divided into chapters: the first chapter presents the work of the Architect, emphasizes his academic formation, intends to clarify the relevance of studying the work of such an architect and presents his major works; the second chapter explains the filing process of residences projected by the Architect, the production of residential projects, seeking to classify them into types; the fourth chapter, in which the research seeks to characterize the gesture in this Petracco’s projectproduction; and finally, the last part consists of the subsequent chapters, in which the residential projects of Casa Vicente Izzo (1975), and Samuel Rothenberg (1982), chosen as case studies, among other selected residential buildings belonging to the period of the 1970s and 1980s, the most productive of the Architect, have been analyzed.

The board of directors is a central element of the corporate governance and its focal point lies on the monitoring of the organization management. In order to get a better governance process, one has to consider the improvement of the boards of directors. Its attributes in terms of structure, composition and characteristics have been taken into account in the academic researches in the different aspects that affect the corporate decisions. More recently, the diversity of the boards has been the theme for discussions both in the academic and in the corporate environments. The concept of diversity has a broad understanding and comprises not only the gender and ethnic variety, but also the diversity of the cultural, social and professional aspects, such as the age, nationality, educational backgrounds and professional experience. The aim of this research is to contribute to the understanding of the influence of the boards on the corporate policies based on the analyses of the effects of the board diversity on the decisions of the firm financial policies. This empirical research was based on the top 100 firms in terms of shares traded in the stock exchange of BMF&Bovespa, using a data panel from 2010 to 2014. The proxy for the board diversity was defined by means of an index, which includes the structural, social and functional diversity of the board members of the firm samples. The results of this research suggest that this diversity is positively associated with the leverage ratios of the firms. The board diversity allows better monitoring by the board on the management and is related positively with the firm leverage, in line with the effects of the reduction of managerial entrenchment by means of stronger monitoring.

The main objective of this research is to understand how resources, capabilities and business strategies for seeking competitive advantage are treated in companies that work with low differentiation products and services in dynamic environment when subjected to ruptures. As a theoretical foundation it was used the resource-based view (RBV), including the concepts of competitive advantage, value creation, generic strategies and dynamic capabilities. The chosen dynamic market was from prepaid cards for travel, loaded with foreign currency, which was impacted by government rule changes in 2011 and 2013. It was adopted an exploratory descriptive study in a qualitative methodology. The survey was conducted considering perceptions from the point of view of managers. A multiple cases study was held in which twelve executives were interviewed through a semi-structured script, in four companies (Midsize Bank, Brokerage Exchange, Exchange Bank and Retail Banking), representing for 77% of Travel Prepaid Card market share, The data was treated and analyzed based on content analysis method. It was noted that the resources had their strategic attributes modified and their relevance has changed, specifically in the cases studied. It was possible to observe a change in the way the companies manage existing resources and capabilities, incorporating new and transforming others. However, it seems that companies have not looked systematically and intentionally to their resource and capabilities base in times of sudden environment changes. It was also observed that the strategic positioning remained unchanged regardless of environmental changes. In short, the strategic management of resources and capabilities becomes more complex in dynamic environments with sudden changes.

Este trabalho final de graduação é resultado de 3 anos e meio de atividades na elaboração do Plano de Bairro do Jardim Piratininga e bairros adjacentes, resultando no projeto de um Centro Comunitário. Os bairros são localizados no distrito Cangaíba, subprefeitura Penha, município de São Paulo, e são delimitados ao sul, pelas linhas férreas 12 e 13 da Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos, e ao norte por um canal de circunvalação, que divide estes bairros do Parque Ecológico do Tietê. Jardim Piratininga, bairro enfoque deste estudo, é uma Zona Especial de Interesse Social do tipo 1 na Lei de Uso e Ocupação do Solo do município, caracterizado por ser um assentamento precário. Devido a isto, fez se necessário estudar o processo de periferização de São Paulo, o qual mostra que o modelo centro-periferia de entendimento deste tipo de espaço está em partes ultrapassado, já que a nova periferia está cada vez mais complexa, dinâmica e heterogênea. Este argumento se confirma ao observar o bairro Jardim Piratininga de uma forma aproximada e detalhada. Percebe-se que as políticas e estratégias de intervenção neste tipo de assentamento devem ser cada vez mais feitas deste modo mais próximo, assim como é realizado o plano de bairro. O trabalho resulta no projeto do Centro Comunitário que é uma das demandas da população local, incluído neste plano. Conclui-se por fim o quanto é importante a participação popular na elaboração de um projeto, seja ele urbano ou arquitetônico, para se entender essas dinâmicas locais.
