This master's dissertation proposes a discussion on the accelerated contemporary growth of vulnerable urban territories, and the complex issues that this poses to architecture and urbanism. Building an understanding from the perspective of gender and childhood, the work is part of the analysis of the theoretical reference raised about the current state of the debate about the approaches of design practices to the themes of social and territorial vulnerability; follows considerations on how vulnerability affects in particular women and children and recognizes historical precedents in the recognition and appreciation of popular and spontaneous cultures. Taking the discussion forward, a characterization of vulnerable territory is proposed, and the enumeration of essential conditions for analysis and proposal of interventions in these contexts, with emphasis on the articulated engagement of five instances: civil society, community, private initiative, university and public authorities. Five case studies are analyzed: Glicério, Jardim Lapenna, Parelheiros and Favela do Moinho in the city of São Paulo and Arari, in the municipality of the same name. The results of the analyses indicate that the understanding of the articulation modes of the five instances is still under construction. Nevertheless, the results of the actions seem to be better the more these instances participate and articulate.

The object of this work is to define the first academic lines about the necessity to unify the administrative process that evaluates infractions of the consumerism rules. This theme meets a well-known need of the current organizations for consumer protection nationwide and their agents-national militants in administrative consumer protection. Keeping focus on the accomplishment of the petrified fundamental commandment in consumer protection promotion, we have tried to give more effectiveness to the use of the material law in consumerism. Unifying procedures and strengthening the Agencies of the National System for the Consumer Protection means, first of all, to expose the social aspect of this governmental work on consumer protection, since most of the citizens who appeals to these public institutions come from the poor. Our basic premise about this theme is the absence of a national unification of the administrative processes and its implications. We will briefly examine the material face of the administrative consumerism penalties, such as the fine and its dosage (the most common penalty), as well as the other eleven penalties. At this point, we could not forget the importance of the presence of juridical assistance in public consumer protection agencies. The administrative solution to conflicts is an essential topic to come to a conclusion. We will talk about the need to unify the administrative process and we will present the competences of the public agencies in the National System for the Consumer Protection; we will try to relate the process unification to the conception of a system and its strengthening; we will make an effort to cut the Gordian knot of the matter, which is the unification of the administrative process with no harm for the legal autonomy of each federative entity in this matter. Our conclusion is a proposal of regulation, and its main points will be explained in full details. We will discuss the need of the appropriate process, the distinction between claims and penalties; furthermore, we will initiate the debate about a national record of well-grounded claims, a topic that nowadays indispensably includes the Information System for the Consumer (SINDEC); a tool conceived to achieve this aim. The administrative extinguishment involving conflicts or infractions is another theme we decided to approach, due to its practical relevance. Another huge obstacle we will face (without making pretensions to presenting a final solution) is the hard discussion about competence conflicts among administrative institutions. We have no doubt that the theme demands the attention of all the agents involved with the application of penalties. As a way to solve administrative conflicts, we dare propose a parallel method to the present one, which is, in this case, the arbitration. At this point, our inquietude will try to answer questions about the possibility of applying this extra judicial method to the administrative institutions for the consumer protection. We will demonstrate the possibility of applying alternative means of solving consumer s conflicts, making sure that the consumers will get administrative and technical protection, besides having their rights easily defended, always focusing on the search for a better market. At the end, based on discussions that occurred during the development of this work, we will propose a regulation project to the administrative process in consuming relations. As we recognize the lack (and the need) of rules and regulations to structure a National System for the Consumer Protection, we invite all of you to inquietude, since this is the key to achieve changes. So, looking ahead to the future and based on our reality, we intend to pave the way for the examination of this vast legislation.

The purpose of the present study was to intercept the waste ink from offset in ceramic material, as some residues of compensated graphite inks are as hazardous by NBR10004, other toxic materials in its composition, such as lead and antimony. Using factorial planning it was observed that a residue addition did not cause large eyes on the actual porosity and apparent porosity of the sintered ceramics. By means of the results obtained it was observed that at both 1100 ° C and 1200 ° C the test bodies inerted the heavy metals because the metals of the test were not leached according to a standard by the ABNT NBR 10005: 2004 standard. The incorporation of waste into the ceramic mass is economically feasible and socioambiemalmente favorable, because it reduces the cost of the waste of ink to be discarded as well as it avoids its disposal in the environment.

Power is a social and human value, related to social status, prestige, control and dominance over people and resources. It is a basic human value, which communicates the needs of power and is present in workplace relationships and in the private lives of managers. Power is inherent to the management role. In order to obtain results and to harmonize the organization, managers need to control, make decisions, organize, structure, communicate, motivate, persuade, lead, make connections, optimize, direct the resources and act. Therefore, power comes from work.
