O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a realização de um estudo prático e normativo acerca da prática da Eutanásia, dentro do âmbito da sociedade e do direito brasileiro, trazendo principalmente como base para a discussão, uma análise acerca da ponderação dos Princípios da Autonomia e da Dignidade em relação ao Direito à Vida, ante o cenário do “direito à morte”. Desenvolver uma visão mais abrangente do assunto, desviando a questão exclusivamente de uma análise meramente formal e legal, sobre a prática da Eutanásia, trazendo novas interpretações e pontos de vista em razão da evolução da sociedade, com reflexos para o Direito, como se reflete por exemplo, na tendência da adoção do common law no Brasil, através de uma aparente inclinação a uma atuação mais permissiva, compreensiva e humanitária do judiciário atual. Ainda durante o desenvolvimento, há o objetivo de se traçar um paralelo em relação à situação da eutanásia no Brasil com outros lugares do mundo, em razão da liberação desta prática em alguns países, o que será realizado por meio de um estudo comparativo que envolva a legislação e os critérios adotados pelos outros países. Por fim, levantar ainda quais as dificuldades da efetivação desta prática e quais seriam as consequências da eventual liberação desta prática no Brasil, que até então prevê tal fato como crime.

The present work proposes an interdisciplinary investigation concerning the logic of the concept ART, that is, about the circumstances that justify the categorization of something through the predicative expression “is art”. Its fundamental historical premise is that in the final decades of the nineteenth century artistic production underwent structural changes whose radicalization in the following centuries unmistakably evidenced the limitations of aesthetic theories oriented by the classical model of definition. As the processes of categorization in the most diverse theoretical fields were understood in the light of this model until the midtwentieth century, it is possible to say that the aesthetic theory was confronted with the necessity of a new vision on the nature of these processes. Based on this premise, the guiding problem of this work was thought as an analog of the demands for scalability involving information systems: how to account for an exponential expansion and diversification of data without compromising the operational effectiveness of the support responsible for its processing? Hence the idea of a “scalability challenge” to the aesthetic theory and the problem of its overcoming, mainly in face of the unfolding of contemporary art. Taking the discussions produced in the context of contemporary philosophy as its bibliographic horizon, more specifically in the tradition known as “analytical philosophy”, this work defends the thesis that the cluster concept theory elaborated by the English philosopher Berys Gaut offers elements for an understanding of the logic of the concept ART capable of overcome the scalability challenge in a satisfactory way.

This dissertation aimed to compare and evaluate the predictive power of an artificial stock market model developed by agent-based modeling techniques (ABM). An empirical study was carried out to forecast the values of certain shares of B3, the Brazilian stock exchange, through the model of Collective Behavior in the Stock Market, created by Silva (2014). The values generated were compared with the reais collected between the dates: 06/05/2019 and the end date on 08/17/2020. The environment used was the Netlogo. The sample of data for comparison included 299 observations, with a simulation of 5400 models for each stock. The analysis comprised the comparison between the forecast and the actual closing price within established periods. The selection of models was performed using the Directional Accuracy test of Pesaran-Timmerman (2006). The results of the models were compared with a model based on statistics, using an ARIMA algorithm, by Box and Jenkins (1976). The models showed satisfactory initial results for the predictive power.

Results and contributions: To propose an analytical model to support pricing decisions and to attendance the demands of services, collaborating with entrepreneurs, managers of small and medium-sized companies, who need support to conduct and improve their activities. In this study, it was plausible to cooperate with literature and practice, generating useful knowledge through the use of the so-called interventionist research methodology. Objective: To define the most appropriate method of costing to be used by service providers and to develop a management model to assist small and medium-sized service providers in the Bragantina region in their decision-making to minimize uncertainties in margin of contribution. Relevance of the chosen subject: According to the difficulties of analyzing the demands for services to be provided and establishing objective parameters to the pricing, managers end up having a great uncertainty in the pricing of these services, being this stage of pricing of great importance for these companies, we chose this subject to be studied. Impact on the area: An interventionist model of budget management research was presented that uses the accounting and the experience of the entrepreneur about the company and the sector in which it operates. Through this research, we have created a model that is based on accounting data and the manager's experience. With this combination, we built a budget solution proposal for small entrepreneurs to use. Methodology: The qualitative interventionist approach was used for this study, which was based on the analysis of the data collected through interviews with the manager and the partner of the company researched and by the data made available by the management of the company itself.

This master's thesis is formed by a critical and poetic analysis of the work of the contemporary artist Nazareno Rodrigues and author’s own work, mainly considering the intersection of its multiple languages in the context of visual arts; by the creation of a series of drawings in sewing, in dialogue with one of the works of the mentioned artist; by the development of an art research methodology; and by a relational analysis with Italo Calvino's book Six proposals for the new millennium. The critical analysis includes a theoretical part, divided in quantitative and qualitative analysis, with the development of an unpublished methodology of research. The poetic analysis includes the elaboration of an art exposition, in dialogue with one of the works of Nazarene and with the book of Calvin. The reflection on the work of Nazareno Rodrigues, Carolina Vigna and Italo Calvino is relational, intersemiotic and interdependent. The conclusion produced both a theoretical reflection and the revision of the author's artistic production.

The concept of digital platform emerges as one of the major axes of innovation in recent years, and has been developed and deployed in various sectors of the economy, both for startups as by large companies. In this paper we propose the creation and deployment of a digital platform applied to the marketing of flowers and ornamental plants in a cooperative. The opportunity to explore this new business model emerged from the need to provide cooperative producers greater transparency, lower transaction costs and low levels of losses during the sales process of their products. To this end, a study on the cooperative market scenario that resulted in the diagnosis of marketing situation of ornamental products in the Brazilian market, from which it was possible to recognize more clearly potential gains from the new business opportunity. The new business model represents an innovation for ornamental flowers, in order to create competitive advantage both to members and to the cooperative, once the deployment of digital B2B platform for both sides in this segment, is unprecedented in Brazil. The originality of the new model brought major challenges in your deployment, these challenges relating to the inherent complexity to the perishability of the products marketed and initial behavior of producers, which were supplanted by the high effort and transactional capacity of managers of the cooperative and the first results obtained with the new model. In the study, the steps followed for the creation and deployment of the digital platform by the cooperative, their contributions and learnings for the marketing of flowers and ornamental plants, as well as opportunities to extend and apply the new model in other segments of perishable products of the agricultural market, especially those operated by mid-sized organizations, such as the co-op studied at work.

Compitiendo con los medios de comunicación convencionales, los blogs se han consolidado como medios enunciadores de la actualidad informativa. Actualmente, vemos cómo este soporte, una vez incorporado en la prensa digital, se utiliza para varios propósitos: de manera complementaria a la información propuesta como “plato fuerte” noticioso y como foro de debate, de crítica abierta, para que los usuarios comenten sobre determinado aspecto de interés social, político, económico o cultural. El examen del blog periodístico, desde la perspectiva de los estudios lingüísticos, trae a la luz, entre otras cuestiones, la de los efectos de sentido generados, que adquiere más relevancia debido a que este género constituye la intersección de otros dos preexistentes: el blog personal, subjetivo y familiar, y el periodístico, que busca transmitir la impresión de objetividad e imparcialidad. Insertada en la línea de investigación Procedimientos de constitución de los sentidos del discurso y del texto, que incluye el área de concentración de Estudios Lingüísticos del Programa de Posgrado en Letras de la Universidad Presbiteriana Mackenzie, la presente investigación tiene por objetivo el análisis del blog periodístico Cartas desde Cuba, perteneciente al periódico digital BBC Mundo entre los años 2008 y 2014. Desde la perspectiva de la semiótica greimasiana, el estudio se centra en las estrategias que producen efectos de sentido de imparcialidad en el blog antes mencionado, ya que, al atacar ora al gobierno cubano, ora a sus opositores, fue cuestionado por no mostrar una posición firme respecto a la situación política de Cuba. Las estrategias encontradas corroboran las previstas en los fundamentos teóricos, de orden discursivo (relacionadas con los componentes sintáctico y semántico de nivel discursivo) y de orden textual (referidas a la cuestión de la intertextualidad y la interdiscursividad)

This investigation conducted with people with acquired blindness sought the meaning of leisure to them, through interviews based on questionnaires compounded by an item of identification and eight questions leading to open answers. This same paper was based on Marcellino (1983, 1987, 1995, 2006) and his reflections on leisure as an experienced culture during an available time, Dumazedler (1973, 1980), focusing leisure on interests, and Blascovi-Assis (1997) who emphasizes the needed awareness of society as far as changing the universe of leisure. Making reference to visual impairment one sought to be based in authors such as Masini (1994, 2007), who discusses the importance of considering the person s perceptual referential with no sight, instead of comparing them with sighted people; on Palva (2005) and the resolution adopted by the International Council of Sidney about the related terms on visual impairment; on Farias and Buchalia (2005), who brought DSM-10 and FIC contributions (WHO 2003), complementing DSM-10 when tracing a functioning description. This work objective was to investigate the meaning of leisure to 10 people with acquired blindness and register how leisure activities have been occurring to this public, as well as verify the facilitating aspects and barriers to this experience. The guideline was analyzing if leisure activities propitiate well-being to people who acquired blindness. The interviews analysis happened in four phases: close reading of each participant s answers related to each question; classification in categories; answers categorization in charts; reflection on the data in the charts. The data analyzed showed that leisure to the subjects in the research means a possibility of well-being, by themselves or with others, once they do not feel unable to enjoy activities of such nature, since they consider the same activities as possible as they could be to the ones without visual impairment.

O financiamento de campanhas eleitorais no Brasil por empresas públicas e privadas enseja muitos debates em razão da prática da corrupção e da prática do “caixa dois” pelos partidos políticos. Assim, o presente estudo analisou a eficácia da alteração de modelos de financiamento de campanha eleitoral como solução para inibir ingressos de recursos financeiros ilegais e ilícitos na disputa eleitoral, bem como a celebração de contratos prévios com o Poder Público. Para tanto, como metodologia empregou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica em livros, artigos e legislações pertinentes à temática abordada. Ao final do estudo concluiu-se que a legislação brasileira ficou mais severa em todos os aspectos, no entanto, ainda é carente de punições mais incisivas aos atos ilícitos, seja de eles praticados por doadores ou competidores. Além do mais, também permanece carecendo de medidas que tornem os pleitos eleitorais mais igualitários financeiramente, já que o atual modelo beneficia os grandes doadores, em detrimento das doações menores ou pulverizadas. Os recursos financeiros têm impacto significativo nas campanhas eleitorais e, portanto, torná-las mais justas e igualitárias deveria ser a meta principal a ser enfrentada pelo legislador.

Este trabalho apresenta a pesquisa teórica e as atividades realizadas para a produção de um livro-reportagem sobre a violência sexual dentro de relacionamentos amorosos. O produto coloca em evidência dez relatos sobre estupro conjugal e seu objetivo é ressaltar as percepções sobre o crime, tanto da própria vítima, quanto daqueles ao seu redor. O estupro, um crime já bastante silenciado, é ainda mais descreditado quando acontece dentro de casa. A narrativa se utiliza dos relatos de dez mulheres vítimas dessa violência e se divide em oito capítulos com temas comuns entre as personagens. Os relatos demonstram dificuldade de identificar a violência, relacionamentos conflituosos com a família e abusos psicológicos. Para fundamentar a pesquisa, foram utilizados livros, artigos e reportagens sobre o tema. Dentre eles, os principais autores foram: Edvaldo Pereira Lima, Cremilda Medina, Eduardo Belo e pesquisadores do Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA). Além de entrevistas com uma psicóloga e uma advogada especializadas em abuso sexual intrafamiliar e Lei Maria da Penha, respectivamente. Essas conversas esclareceram a situação jurídica desfavorável para essas mulheres e as condições psicológicas em que elas se encontram. O livro-reportagem permitiu que as fontes fossem retratadas de forma anônima e que suas histórias fossem contadas com profundidade.

This study aimed to reflect on the effectiveness of Jobs Reservation in public tenders, while affirmative action policy, directed to the segment of the population with disabilities; on the relationship between education / schooling and the job market for people with disabilities from the comparison of results obtained in the competitions for candidates with and without disabilities who competed for positions of Analyst and Judicial Technician - Administrative Area (from Federal Justice and Labor Justice), made in the period of 2010- 2014, taking as research environment, the (34) results of related public tenders, conducted by Carlos Chagas Foundation. Specific objectives were defined based on the (421) municipal, state and federal public tenders conducted from 2000 to 2014: check the evolution of people with disabilities participation; map and characterize, by sex and age, the overall demand for candidates with and without disabilities; Federal Decree # 3298/1999 was analyzed with regard to book places in public tenders, seeking to trace their changes over the years, due to the actions of civil society and public prosecutor. Among 34 selected public tenders, identified the type of disability and the type of adaptation required by the candidate to do the examinations, which allowed us to outline the profile of candidates with disabilities who participated and those who have succeeded along the public tenders. The results showed that despite the legal standard to provide 5% reservation of seats offered, the participation of people with disabilities is low, reaching only 1% in 2013; even if the disabled candidates competing for the total vacancies in dispute, and concomitantly the reserved places, the population ends up competing with each other, therefore, based on the classification of these candidates, it appears that performance on tests is much less than expected to compete in wide competition, bringing up the issue of this population the quality of education in relation to other students. Among the candidates with disabilities, which were approved in public tenders, only 3% would have been approved if there were not reserved places. Among those who are enabled, due to reserved openings, most have mild disability that does not require any kind of adaptation to perform the examination. For the candidate with most severe disabilities, it appears that in 34 public tenders done in five years, among the qualified ones in the general list, only three individuals were blind, two wheelchair users and, there was no deaf candidate. Data, which confirms the need to monitor and evaluate the educational inclusion policies as well as the one geared to the job market, as we are aware such action has not been able to support people with more severe disabilities, who would be the main recipients of this policy.
