This project aims to analyze the legal institute of modulation of effects in tax matters based on the jurisprudence of the Federal Supreme Court in the control of constitutionality diffuse and concentrated since its entry into force through the Laws n º S. 9.868/99 and 9.882/99 to the present, from the tabulation and analysis of the decisions given in this selected interval, in order to verify whether there is a decision-making standard on the interpretation of the meaning and scope of the expressions "legal certainty" and "exceptional social interest" contained in the authorizing norms of modulation in the aforementioned legislations, as well as the application of these in cases of change of jurisprudential understanding, as overruling cases, which turned out to be a criterion of legal norms for temporal modulation of effects from the Code of Civil Procedure of 2015. This analysis presupposed a theoretical tool to assist in understanding the modulation of effects inserted in the legal system, from the legal positivism, in the strand of the authors Hans Kelsen and H.L.A. Hart, passing through the characteristics of contemporary constitutionalism, as well as evaluating the characteristics of effectiveness of constitutional norms and the role of constitutional jurisdiction in the Brazilian context. The analysis concluded that it is possible to affirm the existence of patterns about temporal modulation of effects in tax matters by the STF in some specific situations, such as cases of change of jurisprudence and requirement of proof of severe injury to the social environment, as well as it is possible to identify characteristics of cases in which the factual situation leads to patterns that require the modulation of effects, as the case of the change of jurisprudence in tax matters, and which reject the Modulation, such as cases in which there is no empirically proven existence of irreversible social impairment. However, it is not possible to find a decision standard that is used in the STF to define "legal certainty" and "exceptional Social interest". In practice, decisions use these expressions followed by hypothetical examples that confirm the need for their guarantee, as if that were enough to guarantee the validity of the manipulation of decisions declaring unconstitutionality.

The adoption of the innovation in the organizations frequently occurs in two stages: at a first moment there is a decision of the organization in adopting the innovation which is called primary adoption, followed by one real implementation that includes individual adoption by the users, and corresponds to the secondary adoption (LEONARD BARTON; DESCHAMPS, 1998; GALLIVAN, 2001). The current study explores the traditional models applicability of innovation adoption and diffusion to identify the factors that influence the secondary adoption of the Project Management Methodology in Technology Information, in the organizations. Beyond this main objective, the research seeks to identify if these factors behave in a different way for the users who have experience in its use, being in some of the assimilation stages (COOPER and ZMUD, 1990) and the potential adopters. The study model, based on the Theory of the Planned behavior (AJZEN, 1991), on the Theory of Diffusion of the Innovation (ROGERS, 1995) and on the model of Secondary Adoption of the Innovation (GALLIVAN, 2001), incorporates and adapts relative constructs to the Attitude, Subjective Norm and Perceived Control. The data of the research were obtained from a sample of project managers in Technology Information. The model is analyzed using structural equation modeling, thus verifying the inter-relation among the constructs. The results of the research revealed that the Attitude, Administrative Subjective Norm and Team Subjective Norm influence significantly for users and potential adopters. As for the control dimensions, only the Organization Facilities construct was significant for the group of potential adopters. The research also confirmed the existence of differences in the factors that influence the adoption of the Project Management Methodology for users and potential adopters. The Attitude and Administrative Subjective Norm are more intense factors for the users, while the Team Subjective Norm, Individual Facilities and Organization Facilities are more significant for the potential adopters. The implications of the study are discussed and suggestions for future research are presented.

The present research aimed to analyze the Brazilian educational public policies adopted for the training of teachers in the undergraduate courses of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo - Campus São Paulo, leading to understand how has been the consolidation of the formation of Teachers in those courses. The general objective is to analyze, from the point of view of teacher educators, the implications of the public educational policies of teacher training in the degree courses of the IFSP-SPO. The work was carried out following the qualitative research mechanisms, by two guiding axes, being: Brazilian public educational policies and teacher training in the degree courses of the IFSP-SPO. It was divided into two stages, the first one focused on documentary research, where information collection, reading and analysis of the theoretical assumptions underlying the work were carried out, aimed at identifying the concepts presented in the documents and structuring the theoretical basis of the work From the information obtained. The second was the field research, carried out by means of a semistructured interview, in the IFSP - Campus São Paulo, together with the professors of the Licenciatura courses, in a total of 18 professors, 3 professors of each of the 6 existing courses, being: Coordinator of the course, a teacher of specific discipline of the area of knowledge and another one of pedagogical discipline. Data analysis and tabulation was carried out through content analysis (Bardin, 2010), with the intention of identifying whether educational public policies directed towards undergraduates have contributed to the professional development of teachers and whether the knowledge worked in the courses Undergraduate courses provide a training more in line with the educational challenges faced in the school context. To support the development of the research, we have recourse to Mizukami (1986, 1996, 2005, 2010), Gatti (1997, 2010, 2013, 2015), André (1996, 2010, 2015), Gatti, André and Barreto , Oliveira and Toschi (2012), Imbernón (2002), Nóvoa (1997, 1999, 2007), Sacristán (1995, 1999), Saviani (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012), Marcelo García (1997, 2013) and Vaillant (2015). The data obtained show that educational public policies directed to undergraduate courses contribute to professional teacher development insofar as they stipulate the need for specific training to practice the profession, on the other hand, the fact that they follow the guidelines stipulated by the multilateral bodies, Also makes the profession suffer impacts by removing it from the preparation of legal documents, by disregarding the production of knowledge of the teacher as teaching, by approaching education through a series of evaluation systems, understanding it as if it were A matter of costs and numbers. We have identified that the knowledge developed in the IFSP-SPO Undergraduate courses aims to provide a training that meets the educational challenges faced in the school context, through solid training in the contents of the specific areas, practical development and training actions that may offer subterfuge for The reflection and criticism of the graduates.

This dissertation focused on studying the relationship between business risk and leverage of Brazilian companies. To this end, six variables were used to represent the business risk (standard deviation of ROA, standard deviation of log of sales, standard deviation of changes in operating income, the unlevered beta, the cyclicality and the operating leverage) and five index of debt (total debt, short term debt, longterm debt, financial debt and net debt) calculated at their book and market values. The method used in the study for the treatment of the data was the panel data and the model that was used to estimate was the static panel. Among the results obtained by the regressions performed, some to be emphasized were the negative relationship of the standard deviation of ROA with financial debts and net debts, the negative relationship of the standard deviation of the log of sales and the standard deviation of the change in operating income with variables of debt in book value and the unlevered beta negative relationship with the variables of debt in market value. This study concluded that the risk of business is relevant to decisions about the capital structure of companies.

Occupation & City: The Proto-Urbanism of Urban Movements in Central São Paulo This doctoral research investigates the interaction between occupations and the city in central São Paulo. It explores whether and how urban movements perform a particular proto-urbanism, prefiguring and setting out to piece together alternative urban worlds in the vacancy of the old one. Its main concerns revolve around vacancy and occupations, movements and mutirão. How are occupations and city mutually transformative? Focus cuts across spatial and temporal scales, studying occupations by interrogating the city, and inquiring the city by inspecting particular occupied sites. Its extended case study of central São Paulo involves empirical studies of the urban conurbation, specific urban components constituted by the neighbourhood of Bixiga and the building block of Teatro Oficina, and the constellations of temporary occupations of vacant buildings enacted by social and artistic movements. It seeks to document and expose a latent form of urbanism in-the-making in the occupations of downtown São Paulo, and probe their interaction with the city and broader discourses and practices of urbanism. It is on the outlook for more sustainable and socially just models of urban development, and its premise holds that urban movements are unwittingly ushering towards that by unleashing the spatial and social resourcefulness of downtown vacancy through collaborative, mutual-aid based practices. The research project that underpins this thesis draws on multiple methods of urbanism, mainly combining urban analysis and participant-observation. It stems from a close collaboration with multiple social and artistic movements, cultural collectives, human rights associations and governmental and academic institutions in São Paulo.

Doctoral thesis comparing the authoritarian thinking of the Brazilian Francisco Campos and the German Carl Schmitt. Both have their intellectual apex in the 20 and 30 century helping to build the political economic model of their countries from an array of anti liberal thinking. Even without direct contact with one another, the thought of the two lawyers is very close, advocating a model of centralized state with high capacity to intervene in society. The power of intervention in society leads to changing economic and social forces, in the economic field eventually leads to a state action that organizes and guarantees a liberal model of economy, contradicting the fundamentals of anti liberal authors. Both in Brazil and in Germany we find the economic sector operating under the old rules liberals, however, with a new form of state intervention, creating a pragmatic authoritarianism I sought the efficient results of capitalism without running the risk of their ills.

Prader Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder resulting from the absence of parental gene expression in the proximal region of the long arm of chromosome 15 (13q-11.2q). It is characterized by neonatal hypotonia, hyperphagia, obesity, hypogonadism, intellectual disability (ID), deficiency in GH, underactive and delayed motor development. Daily physical training programs (TP) showed an increase in lean body mass (LBM) and reduction of fat body mass (FBM) in PWS. However, it was not observed TP with overload. Studies have demonstrated the positive effect of short physical TP on LBM, the gait pattern and the postural strategy. However, no physical TP was built individually and provided a progressive overload throughout the monitoring period. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of PT on indicators of physical fitness in two children with PWS. This study is a descriptive follow-up study of 2 cases of children with PWS (CA with 11 years old and CB 14 with years old) who were evaluated, subjected to one TP lasting 12 weeks and were reassessed at the end of period. We used the following assessment tools for the evaluation of physical fitness indicators: anamnesis, assessment of the physical fitness level (PRODOWN); anthropometric complementary assessment; body composition assessment (DEXA) and physical level activity questionnaire (FLAQ). The PT was adapted for the specific population of this study (children with PWS) so that the participants had a progressive increase in training load during the PT execution. It was possible to verify the end of this study the positive effects of the physical training program for children with PWS. There was improvement in several indicators of physical fitness and weight reduction in CA and increased spontaneous physical activity in CB. Furthermore, after 12 weeks and 10 weeks of training, CA and CB, respectively, increased almost all test of assessment battery of PRODOWN.

The present study aims to investigate possible ways in education for working tools in order to contribute to a more humane and meaningful education that respects the differences from the following questions: What are the contributions of multicultural projects like mediation and access to culture? How to lead the school community to participate in multicultural projects and respond to such holdings? As a result our students to realize and understand how cultural beings? To answer them, broke the record of multicultural projects developed in a private school in Secondary School East Side of the city of São Paulo in order to understand which paths in search of expanding knowledge based education in multicultural projects like a possible pedagogical action. For both , were studied and theoretical concepts about culture, projects and teacher training and also conducted research with teachers , students and parents of students who engaged in these multicultural projects , which seek hearing to reflect on the pedagogical actions taken to route changes possible or advances. Throughout this process, we realized the importance of education in a multicultural project that aims to be diversified, flexible and reflective, but also the necessary change of attitude of teachers and institutions as a possible way to go and contributing to providing access to culture and individual and collective understanding of how each school community of their cultural backgrounds, bringing life into the school.
