Given the broad topic in the field of capital structure, this work aims to contribute to the advancement of studies analyzing firms belonging to São Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA), from 1995 to 2013. With the focus on identifying the behavior of financial leverage and the speed adjustment under different macroeconomic conditions, analogously with Cook and Tang (2010) and Mukherjee and Mahakud (2012). Some studies realized in other countries and also in Brazil used the macroeconomic variables as part of the company's debt composition, and there are, by all stakeholders, the need to improve knowledge on how companies react to changes of these macroeconomic variables. From a sample of 334 Brazilian, the panel was used in the art, applying the fixed effects method and then using dynamic through the GMM method (General Method of Moments) as a way to compare the results obtained in the static model and understand the leverage adjustment speed. Our results demonstrate that Brazilian companies are influenced by GDP and M4 when there is an unfavorable moment in the economy, adjusting their leverage faster, unlike in the case of the Selic interest rate, interest spread, inflation and exchange. In general, it appears that in Brazil companies tend to increase leverage when there is less growth for not sufiencientes reserves to survive the fall of the growth, and benefits from the low rates of times to get the most benefit front of banks and companies of development.

The present study aims to show compliance with Laurence Bardin’s Content Analysis technique when understanding written publications used by the humanities disciplines in High School. Considered an instrument of research which searches for different signifier and signified in messages – the background of communication – this methodology aims at making the reader more distrustful of the assumptions made in a text and aware of spontaneous or superficial reading. This research was applied in practice when teaching the subject of Sociology, at a private school in São Paulo, at the time at which determining the relevance of the methodology in everyday school conditions were aimed. The results achieved by inferences and interpretations per categories as well as those obtained by frequency or lack of information in documents served as a comparison with different text analyses which did not use the Bardin’s technique. An expressive group of students achieved relevant results throughout the copious meanings of messages acquisition, being able to assess and even deconstruct the author's intentions and its contextual conditions

Uma das primeiras e primordiais funções da arquitetura é fornecer abrigo para homem, protegendo-o dos perigos da natureza. De início, na pré - história, o homem nômade buscava abrigo em cavernas, que foram concebidas devido aos caprichos da natureza. A partir do desenvolvimento da agricultura, em paralelo com a linguagem e a escrita, o homem passou de uma vida nômade para uma vida sedentária, gerando a necessidade de construir o seu próprio abrigo. O homem então desenvolve diversas técnicas de construção e uma enorme variedade de abrigos, de acordo com a condição geográfica em que cada sociedade vivia. Hoje, esse tipo de construção é chamada de arquitetura vernacular, uma arquitetura que foi desenvolvida e refinada ao longo dos séculos e que responde as condições do contexto físico e cultural em que está inserida. Nos dias de hoje, com a crescente preocupação em relação a sustentabilidade das construções e os avanços nas TICs (Tecnologias de Informação da Comunicação), que deram origem a novas ferramentas digitais de projeto, tais como ferramentas de analíse, simulação e geração, características intrínsecas da arquitetura vernacular surgem como princípio norteador do projeto arquitetônico, dando origem as tais arquiteturas performáticas ou performativas, arquiteturas que respondem a critérios definidos de performance, como conforto térmico, acústico, etc., se justificando através do processo em que a forma final foi concebida, que 9 relaciona tanto questões do meio climático como o meio cultural em que a arquitetura está inserida. O presente trabalho busca desenvolver uma abordagem projetual alinhada com esses conceitos, buscando desenvolver uma arquitetura que responde genuinamente ao contexto físico e cultural em que está inserida, por meio do estudo das ferramentas digitais de projeto e aplicação delas no processo projetual.

The object of analysis of the research concerned is four advertisements of Veja magazine, part of the campaign who reads Veja understands both sides. Therewith, we will comprehend the current function of lettering and typography in the context of advertising language as a key element in the construction of meaning and, therefore, support of the verbvisuality. The word form, by the way, is usually linked to the visual esthetics when, actually, it contributes to meaning construction as much the proper textual content. What is proposed, then, is the perception of the graphic element as a sign transposing Gestalt psychology and therefore carries in its interior a lot of voices that interact with each other and with the socio-historical context. There are many typography fonts or letters design that are part of the history and represent this relationship in its form. The question behind this proposal, in short, is knowing how to see , ie a distinct visual perception. For this, we ll use as a foundation for the considerations in this research authors such as João Gomes Filho, Paulo Heitlinger, Adilson Citelli, Ellen Lupton, Erik Spiekermann, Donis Dondis, Petter Bonnici, Maria Fernanda Lopes Almeida, among others.

This work makes an aesthetic and social reflection of the work of art and its aspects by means of the study of the adaptation of the book Lavoura Arcaica for the cinema. Its main proposals are: to study the mechanisms of transposition of a language for another one, thinking about the hierarchies of artistic prestige that these possess, the symbolic and aesthetic values that if revert in social and marketing values e, still, until point valued literary texts critically for the tradition can transmit values to other ways and languages, as the cinema and the television, through its adaptations. One also argues which the limits to think about adaptations fiduciary offices to the text-source and as these attitudes can denote pretensions and validates on the part of the adapters.

Many studies have been done looking for new applications become viable for the ash of rice husks micronized. These studies include the use of this material as a reinforcing filler in elastomeric compounds to substitute other materials, to promote better mechanical performance such as tensile strength at break, hardness, elongation, and reduce the cost. The objective of this study was to obtain and characterize the elastomeric compounds based on EPDM and carbon black as filler and different concentrations of black ash of rice husks micronized and compare their performance with elastomeric compounds based on EPDM containing only black as filler smoke. The elastomer was processed in a calender with the respective filler, processing aids, plasticizers and curing system. After processing by calendering, the elastomeric compound has been tested that includes the rheological and rheometry testing by Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA). These tests showed, respectively, the parameters of speed of healing and glass transition temperature (Tg). Subsequently the material was cured in a hydraulic press with heating. To test resistance to oil, the specimens were immersed in ASTM oil 3 to measure the percentage of swelling. Were also performed mechanical tests of compression permanent deformation (compression set), tensile strength, tear strength, resilience and hardness Shore A. Through the results, it was observed that the addition of black ash rice hulls in the compounds modifies the glass transition temperature (Tg), but practically does not change the rheology during vulcanization. Compounds containing 20% black ash of rice husks showed better mechanical properties of tensile strength, tear strength and elongation. For higher concentrations, there is only the behavior of the filler. The addition of ash from rice hulls black also increases the hardness and improved oil swelling resistance and reduces permanent deformation to compression and resiliency.

Ante a crescente procura pelo Poder Judiciário para a obtenção gratuita de medicamentos, surge a necessidade – por parte dos Tribunais Superiores – de pacificar a jurisprudência sobre o assunto. No presente caso, parte-se do julgamento proferido pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça, de um Recurso Especial pelo rito dos Recursos Repetitivos, aqui considerado leading case, cujo objetivo é regularizar a situação do fornecimento de medicamentos que não estão previstos nos Atos Normativos do SUS. Utiliza-se como fontes a análise dos dispositivos da Constituição Federal sobre o tema, bem como da Lei Orgânica do Saúde, em conjunto com o exame das jurisprudências utilizadas como precedente na decisão objeto para a escolha da hipossuficiência como requisito limitante. Verifica-se, ao final, que este uso da hipossuficiência, diante do cenário o qual está inserido o SUS – composto pelo princípio da universalidade e o acesso integral e igualitário – é inconstitucional, vez que se traduz em hipótese de restrição de direito fundamental sem a observância do dito mínimo existencial.

The Brazilian educational policy is based on the assumption that the school is the main mechanism for the development of a democratic and egalitarian society. The affirmative action in the educational area with a view to promoting equity and social inclusion of disadvantaged and discriminated populations are endorsed by this initiative. On the assumption that the dynamics of the relationships experienced in the University context, if marked by prejudices and discrimination, can influence the education of indigenous students and the effectiveness of the affirmative policies, this study was developed in order to understand the dynamics of in(ex)clusion perceived by indigenous students from the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT). The research occurred in two steps: the investigative documentary research and the fieldwork. The technique used for the evaluation of the interviews was the analysis of the contents, from which came the six thematic categories which constitute the dynamics of the in(ex)clusion. They are: 1) aspects of the indigenous identity; 2) walking in both worlds; 3) dynamics of relationships at the University; 4) the importance of attending College; 5) the causes of dropouts; and 6) militant profile and the expectation of professional performance. The dynamics of in(ex)inclusion perceived by indigenous students is inextricably linked to the particular cosmology of each indigenous people, resulting from experiences before the admission of these subjects at the University. Furthermore, such dynamics is marked by prejudices, discrimination and hostility from non-indigenous, which constitute elements more of exclusion than of inclusion. We were also able to see, based on reports from indigenous students and on other studies, that the quotas policies for admissions in IESP alone do not guarantee the professional training of indigenous students and their inclusion. The contribution of this study stays in the theoretical and empirical field, in the expansion of knowledge about management of inclusion and diversity, specifically in public policies of affirmative actions towards a College education for the indigenous students, because there are a limited number of systematized and published information about selection, admission, permanence and education of indigenous students.
