Introduction: Health training has shown the need for changes in traditional models of education and health care, marked by Paradigm Biologicist and uniprofissional. representing the changes in health graduate highlight the Multidisciplinary Residency in Health, which brings together various health care professions, except medicine. In this context, Multidisciplinary Residences in health represents an innovative proposal, due to its method centered in multidisciplinary education. Objectives: To describe and analyze the contributions of the Multidisciplinary Residency in Health University Hospital João de Barros Barreto / UFPA for training and operations in more traditional areas of health in Brazil , with the exception of medicine: Pharmacy, Dentistry and Nursing , under the optics its participants. Method: Descriptive, analytical qualitative study was conducted. The study was submitted to and approved by the Platform Brazil. For data collection were used semi-structured interviews, which were conducted between the months of September to December 2015. The script of the interview was prepared according to the research objectives. Data analysis involved interviews, and at a later stage was made articulation between the theoretical frameworks of the study. Results: In the research it was evident that the greatest difficulties in the RMS / HUJBB are: the need for increased training of HUJBB of health professionals to practice preceptor ship; emphasize the multidisciplinary approach in theoretical content, greater involvement of the tutors in the training of tutors of the course; wider dissemination of the pedagogical project for all involved in the RMS / HUJBB; greater coordination with state and municipal management of health. Participants guardians of the research consider how relevant the proposed multi-professional training of RMS / HUJBB but highlight as obstacles: they came from uniprofissional training and even the predominance of activities practices in hospital. Despite the reported obstacles survey participants graduates of RMS / HUJBB considered the livings in the RMS / HUJBB enriching for their training as professionals in health, as well as pointed out that the course of Multidisciplinary Residency contributed positively to their roles as professionals cheers. Conclusion: Considering the ambitious and innovative character of the Multidisciplinary Residency courses in Health, RMS / HUJBB has importance in the health professional training in the Amazon region, and provides opportunities that promote multidisciplinary training in health. But it is of great significance that the RMS / HUJBB be constantly evaluated and improved , so that the necessary changes to its development happen and the training of health professionals according to the paradigm of integral and multidisciplinary become reality.

This study aims to evaluate if and how the use of Competitive Intelligence (CI) can help established organizations (incumbents) in the response to Disruptive Innovations in their markets. Based on an intense literature review it was possible to assume that CI can be used as dynamic strategic for monitoring, analyzing and dissemination of information and knowledge creation to help these organizations to better anticipate and understand disruptive innovations. The telecommunications sector was chosen for the research since is a relevant and mature market highly influenced by disruptive innovations. Through a qualitative field research with exploratory and descriptive characteristics, semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers from the four main telecommunication companies of Brazil. The study tried to evaluate the relation between the use of IC by these organizations with the enhanced capacity to respond to disruptive innovations in their markets. The data collected in these interviews were analyzed using Content Analysis techniques. It was observed evidences that CI can help incumbents to better respond to disruptive innovations and six different categories help to explain this relation CAT1 (Value Proposition to the customers of the organizations); CAT2 (Key aspects of Innovation in the organizations); CAT3 (Obstacles for the adoption of Disruptive Innovations); CAT4 (Key aspects of Competitive Intelligence in the organizations); CAT5 (Use of the CI cycle to Disruptive Innovations); CAT6 (Reults of the use of CI for Disruptive Innovations). The results obtained may benefit academics and scholars in the field of CI and Innovation and also professionals from different industries that may be of can eventually be challenged by Disruptive Innovations.

Law 8.213 / 91 is a law that deals with the benefits of the General Social Security System, also known as Quota Law due to its article 93, which addresses the percentage of jobs that companies with 100 or more employees must reserve for people with disabilities or rehabilitated. The law was enacted in 1991, however the idea of quota began to be discussed after the meeting of the International Labour Organization, in 1983, which held the Convention n° 159. This meeting dealt with vocational rehabilitation and employment for people with disabilities. On the one hand the issue began to shed light on the right of beneficiaries to exercise professional activities, on the other, did not bring guarantees of its real effectiveness, since the paradigm changing of society`s vision on the subject did not accompany it. The law, because of the bad use one makes of it, besides not giving real guarantees to work for people with disabilities, is still negligent with the growing number of parasports athletes that began to show interest in becoming professional in what they like and they know to do. If in theory the possibility of being hired by companies as athletes is not denied to them, in practice this possibility does not seem to exist, since often labor inspectors do not allow this to occur. In this scenario, the present study aims to open spaces for soccer athletes with visual impairment, so they can show what they think about their professional work and what relationship they have with the mentioned law. So a series of statistical surveys was made in socio-economic, educational, socio-professional information, as well as professional aspirations and social responsibility. The study design, approved by the Ethics Committee in Research with Human Beings, is quantitative and was conducted in a sample of 32 male athletes. The instruments used were three: a brief interview to collect socio-demographic and socio-cultural information; semi-structured interviews on the following themes: a) relationship that the disabled person has with work; b) level of knowledge about the law 8.213 / 91 and its impact on the employability of people with disabilities; c) their aspirations within the sports and their professional lives. The main results show that a significant proportion of the B2/B3 soccer athletes with visual impairments in our sample aspired to become professionals in their sports. However, they also showed little or no knowledge of the Quota Law. It is concluded, from the data presented, that it is important and possible to meet the needs of the people in this research, to make a new regulation or, perhaps, to regulate the existing one.

Cities all over the world, go through a process of urban changing never seen before. Data from great developing population in cities, added with the urban exodus from rural areas, are the causes of swelling, and later, an explosive urban sprawlling caused in cities. In this process, the land appreciation in urban centers and tax incentives and the cheaper labor in neighboring towns, made that big industries change from urban centers, leaving the obsolete large areas. On the other hand, the cities, originally created for the celebration of life, and to celebrate what we have in common, today are draining energy resources, and the most polluting source of the planet. The new urban projects should consider this complex reality, then look for some contemporaries principles, such as sustainable urban development, productive restructuring, the environments of research and technological innovation and biotechnology. To do so, development agiencies have been created to conciliate the public and private interests. We explore the concept of compact city, in the light of contemporary urban projects in wastelands in central areas. To context, we selected some case studies, building an analytical inventory and always relating them to our context and reality.

This study has analyzed the service franchising enterprises evaluating factors that influence the survival rate of this population under the Organizational Ecology theory. The dynamics of the evolution process of this population was analyzed considering the density dependence model connected to legitimation and competition. Such factors, as well as size, were tested in statistic models (panel, logit and probit) using the data base developed with the information presented in the Guias da Associação Brasileira de Franquias between 1996 and 2007, to evaluate their impact over the population survival rate. Other relevant factors raised in Evolutionary Economics and Service Market Organization were also discussed.

The optical amplifier has improved the optical communication systems because they lead to an increase in transmission capacity of medium and long haul optical systems, with technological advantages over electronic regenerators. The optical amplifier are relatively simple to deploy and can be used in optical links without any troubles regarding signal transmission rate improvement and signal modulation changes, as a consequence of these issues they can substitute the electronic regenerator enhancing security with low operation cost. The CWDM systems multiplex optical wavelength with a low cost in metropolitan networks. It was developed to connect backbone networks to metro core and edge networks with cost saving over DWDM systems but lower transmission capacity. We have developed and characterized in our research a discrete Raman amplifier for operation in O band. We connected the amplifier in a point to point CWDM in order to analyze the gain on the system transmission capacity and the impairments that appears in the system. Working with a eight channel CWDM in O band, modulated with 2.5 Gbit/s, we have demonstrated that we can use a discrete Raman amplifier in single configurations, pre amplifier, booster and line amplifier and shared configuration with booster and pre amplifier to increase the transmission capacity that means, increase the length of the optical link. We have increased in 110% the length of the optical link with a shared configuration of two amplifiers with 10 dB gain for each one.

This dissertation presents a stud on the resumed of Byzantine Iconography in the Roman Catholic Church in a particular manner in Brazil as an answer to the search for a return to Christian liturgical sources proposed by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). To understand this phenomenon, we will know the genesis of this style of sacred art from the 4th Century, the theological conflicts that arose around the pictorial representation of God, its canonical deferment in Ecumenical Council in the 8th Century and the role of the iconographer, the writer icons, as minister of the Church through art. Because this artistic style is an expression of the Catholic faith, it will be known the scopes of theology that underlie that, the sacred as a manifestation of the absolute, and the bases that assure the continued sacramental presence of the one that in the icon is evoked. Philosophical scopes are also contemplated, and sacred geometric symbols and colors too. After knowing the elements and the history of this artistic style, it will be possible to analyze the arrival of this art in contemporary Catholic Christian liturgical spaces, taking into consideration that these, like the faithful, are marked by a devotional baroque culture. Some artistic works are also presented that represent some Brazilian iconographers in the most diverse regions of the country. It was used the following methodology: the bibliographic method with a qualitative approach, field research and interviews with iconographers and liturgists. The principal goal of this research is to investigate the strong return of the Byzantine icons, art of the first Christian millennium, in current contemporary sacred pictorial productions of Brazil, either in a stylized way or in the traditional technique. In the context of the history of Eastern and Western culture, in their liturgical-doctrinal communication, concepts on liturgical liturgical art are presented through reflections of some authors such as Donadeo (1996), Evdokimov (1990), Gharib (1997), Pastro (2010), Floriênski (2012), Mondzain (2013), Tommaso (2017), among others

Regional companies that operate in the Brazilian sanitation sector face several challenges when pursuing productivity improvement and service coverage expansion. It is believed that technological innovation can help companies to overcome those challenges. Considering the resources restrictions related to the sanitation business in Brazil regional companies should leverage their innovation processes seeking productivity enhancement and innovation management plays a crucial role in pursuing it. The Open Innovation model assumes that firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as the firms look to advance their technology. This study aimed at analyzes innovation management in Brazilian sanitation companies and identify open innovation practices in its R&D processes. This study is of a descriptive and exploratory nature and data was collected through interviews with R&D managers. The use of a semi-structured script and the contents analysis procedure of the data gathered led to the study’s main results. Results showed that companies in the sanitation sector intentionally uses external knowledge flows to leverage their innovation processes, mainly through university partnerships and supplier cooperation. It was also identified that those companies have high levels of absortive capacity.

A presente monografia tem como tema a possibilidade do reconhecimento do poliamor e dos efeitos jurídicos reservados às relações familiares aos relacionamentos poliafetivos. Primeiro se fará uma análise histórica tanto do conceito de família, tanto na sua dimensão social quanto cultural, abordando o surgimento do conceito de poliamor e sua gradativa expansão no imaginário popular. Depois se analisará a evolução do direito de família e as conquistas e mudanças que os indivíduos galgaram em relação a sua individualidade, principalmente as mulheres e os que viviam em relações informais, do Código Civil de 1916 ao de 2002. Após, será realizado um estudo dos princípios constitucionais e da hermenêutica para se entender uma possível linha de interpretação que possibilite o reconhecimento do poliamor. Depois disso, estudando os institutos familiares já existentes, tentar traçar um paralelo entre o poliamor e os dispositivos já existentes em nosso ordenamento jurídico. Por fim, será realizado um panorama sobre a situação atual do poliamor, suas conquistas e a decisão recente do Conselho Nacional de Justiça sobre as lavraturas de reconhecimento de uniões estáveis poliamorosas. Ao abordar o entendimento jurisprudencial no país, pelo fato da temática do poliamor ainda não ter chegado aos nossos tribunais, decidiu-se analisar a posição dos magistrados em relação ao instituto familiar em que o poliamor mais se confunde, as uniões estáveis paralelas, não para se traçar um paralelo entre os dois tipos de relacionamentos, que são diferentes entre si, mas para tentar captar os argumentos que possivelmente serão utilizados pelos julgadores no momento de análise do tema.

Supercapacitors are present in almost all kinds of electronic devices that we use in our everyday lives. Applications in systems for storing energy generated from clean sources and for powering electric cars, computers and the new self-sufficient microdevices, require, however, a new generation of capacitive materials. It is necessary to develop supercapacitors with higher capacitive density, better rate capability and that maintain the capacitance over several cycles. To address this problem, a novel approach has shown to be promising: the combination of materials of different capacitive mechanisms in ternary composites. From this strategy, it has been observed that the synergy of three materials leads to higher capacitive properties. Thus, in this work will be presented a novel ternary nanocomposite based on polythiophene, reduced graphene oxide and manganese dioxide. Both the components and the nanocomposite were obtained through simple, economical and efficient chemical routes. Adaptations in the method of obtaining the reduced graphene oxide resulted in a higher quality material. Manganese dioxide has been synthesized by an innovative route that presents advantages over the most used ones. At the end, the synergy of the three components led to singular and enhanced properties of energy storage in the nanocomposite compared to the pure polythiophene: the capacitance was 230% higher than that of the polymer with improved cyclic stability in the first 100 cycles of charge and discharge.

The Pinacoteca de São Paulo has a collection of artworks by Brazilian artists dating from the 17th century to the present. An important part of the collection consists of weathering steel sculptures displayed in different internal and external spaces. Besides offering good resistance to corrosion, weathering steels are extensively used in outdoor sculptures and built structures, due to its attractive appearance and self-regenerating capacity. By identifying the materials that compose an artwork and the phenomena that might occur on a given surface, it is possible to carry out preventive conservation actions in the short, medium and long terms. Initially, a visual analysis was performed on each individual work, as well as an accurate identification of the metals with the aid of handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). Afterwards samples were collected for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction analysis, which identified different oxides formed on their surfaces. In order to obtain more precise results regarding the elements that compose the works, a new process of identification in situ was carried out using X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). The results reveal the predominance of goethite α-FeOOH, lepidocrocite γ-FeOOH and akaganeite β-FeOOH which shows the influence of the environmental conditions to which the artworks are exposed in the formation of the oxides that form the superficial patina. Moreover, the findings also point to the identification of akaganeite in a number of works where the conditions of the natural environment are not usually favourable for its formation. From this study it was possible to identify the environmental conditions in which the works suffer greater deterioration and the actual causes of this deterioration, enabling future actions and decisions concerning to the preventive conservation of these works, such as not applying coats of wax or varnish for protection.

Science, Technology and innovation are fundamental to the development of a nation. Moreover, they determine the future of a society. It is an issue that pertain to the State, guaranteed by the Federal Constitution, independently of ideologies and governs. Investments Science, Technology and Innovation are not convention public expenses, they are risk investments and the interventions of the state in essencial. Thus, this study analyses the situation of innovation in Brazil, studyind first the reality of the Global Value Chains and the Industry 4.0, to study then the mains laws, policies and incentives to innovation.

In this study, the urbanization of favelas in the city of São Paulo is examined from two perspectives: the paths taken by public policies for favelas and the experience with the Guarapiranga Basin Environmental Sanitation Program and its contribution to the building of a methodology for urbanization projects, covering the period from 1980 to the present day. The first part of the study seeks to understand the favela phenomenon in the city of São Paulo, its origins, transformations and its consolidation as an integral element of urban morphology. Articles published in the city s principal newspapers serve as reference for understanding society s level of acceptance of the public policies implanted by city hall. This part also includes the study of the contribution of the main international bodies, with a tradition of financing favela urbanization programs, to the building of a body of thought about the urbanization of favelas and their influence on local programs. Finally, a study is made of the programs implanted in the city of São Paulo and the transformations they have been undergoing over the years and under different administrations at the head of city hall. The second part of the study analyses the experience with the Guarapiranga Program and its contribution to the building of a wide-ranging and multisectorial public policy, focusing on its contribution to the building of a methodology for favela urbanization projects, with a view chiefly to their transformation into districts integrated within the formal city.

In Brazil, a quite expressive number of people - as a matter of fact all the population between the socioeconomic elite, which is able to pay the charges of competent lawyers with its own resources, and a huge popular bulk which relies on the public judicial assistance does not have access to judicial support. It happens because of their monthly income (around three minimum salaries); due to their income they do not have the right for public assistance and on the other side no money enough for a private service. However, the admittance to justice is a guaranteed right in the Constitution of 1988. First, we emphasize the access to a lawyer as sine qua non condition to make possible that all Brazilians would have a satisfactory customer support (and consequently, to fulfill the constitutional guarantee), we propose the resource socalled third sector under the supervision or regulation of the Public Defender itself. We then understand that the inclusion of all Brazilian people in the range of the judicial support, which is made possible by the association between the State and the third sector, fulfilling the constitutional right, will turn individuals into citizens and will establish a real democratization of justice.
