This work investigates, within the literature dedicated to children and youth, the process of creating visual texts produced by the interaction between the writer and the visual writer, between word and image, considering the intentionality of this process, and the power of communication in the construction of narrative and image as cultural mediation. Exploratory questions are addressed: how is the creative and collaborative process between word and image? How does this narrative and visual creation interact? What are the motivations and challenges of this artistic making trajectory? As a artist, teacher, art educator and art therapist, understanding these processes in productions aimed primarily at children and young people, but also reaching readers of other age groups, can resonate and expand the power of art teaching in their interdisciplinary connections. Data were collected through semi-structured, recorded and transcribed interviews, conducted with two visual writers, Fernando Pires and Odilon Moraes. The writer Edith Chacon, who produces works together with Fernando Pires, was also interviewed. Odilon Moraes also relates the process of creating his works together with the writer Carolina Moreyra. The interviews and their analysis were conducted from a methodological perspective based on exploratory case studies, under the light of theoretical references

This paper reports on the teaching of learning trajectories in technical education at secondary level, of Apprentice Craftsmen schools of the Federated Network of Technological Education, permeating the debate on education as field of knowledge in different sciences. Regarding on teaching formation, teacher “life cycle” and the necessary acquaintance (or knowledge) for their training and professionalization. Finally, they present the field research results applied to the theories studied.

The consumption of energy by artificial lighting and air-conditioning systems is the most costly element of building maintenance. Analyses of energy consumption indicate that, although systems are becoming more efficient, in the long term, energy production will not be able to keep up with demand, indicating the need to improve our use of natural resources. The viable use of daylight in office interiors is subject to certain factors, such as glass light transmission, ceiling height, building shape and dimension, the quantity and size of openings, sky model, and the use of solar protections, among others. This study examines the performance of diffuse daylight as the result of the glass facade, solar protection, and light shelves utilized in Towers A and B of the Rochaverá Corporate Towers, in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, through static and dynamic simulations in the programs ReluxPro and Daysim. The study was divided into two parts; the first part involved the acquisition of meteorological data from databases maintained by the Institute of Astronomy, Geophysics and Atmospheric Sciences, IAG. Global solar radiation data was entered into Liu and Jordan’s mathematical model in order to determine the frequency of three basic sky models: clear sky, intermediate sky and overcast sky. The second part of the study assessed the actual performance of the systems in Towers A and B, as well as the projected performance of the proposed systems for both towers. The combination of types of glazing, solar protection and light shelves reduces the incidence of direct sunlight in office interiors and widens the distribution of diffuse daylight. Through this examination it was possible to outline parameters that could influence design decisions.

This study aims to analyze the interrelation between the Right to Personal Data Protection, Competition Law and Consumer Law in the era of big data and the data driven economy, analyzing the controversy raised in academia and in the legal environment, by some schollars, that there would be a real “cross over” or intertwining between legal protection (and its enforcement) to the privacy, consumer and competitive rights, with specific reference to these rights inserted in the context of a highly digitalized society and economy, marked by social networks and characterized by the massive use of highly technological equipment for processing personal data captured from consumers. The hypothesis presented in the present work is that, in truth, although there are strong points of contact and interrelation between these three areas, each of these 3 fields is not confused, being different and autonomous branches of rights, with different objects of protection.

A company s ownership structure is a key aspect of the corporate governance discussion. This dissertation analyzes, through case studies, pioneering companies in Brazil which adopted dispersed control structures without any controlling shareholder individual or group. This study has two main aims: identifying the reasons that led those companies to adopt such ownership structures and the main changes that occurred after those changes, especially with respect to the companies governance practices. Since dispersed control is a very recent movement in Brazil, this dissertation is justified by the scarcity of similar studies in the country and in dispersed control companies in other emerging economies. The study analyzed six Brazilian company cases, through detailed interviews based on a standard questionnaire, analysis of corporate reports, and other data. Two main reasons emerged from the study: a favorable market window coupled with the former controllers desire to leave, were found to be the main drivers for most companies analyzed. With regard to changes to corporate governance practices, a substantial impact was noticed on their relations with shareholders following the change in company control, particularly their general meeting attendance. Moreover, it was also determined that the stability in Brazil s macroeconomic scenario has enabled the capital market to play its role of financing the growth of new companies. In this context, this kind of company structure may become a new Brazilian corporate model, replacing the traditional concentrated structure. However, it is not clear whether this option has become feasible just for a short moment of excitement of the market. The feasibility of this structure, therefore, needs further time testing, especially during periods of depression at the stock market, and in assessing the evolution of these pioneering companies performance, as they will be facing critical moments when making important corporate decisions and replacing their leaders.

A obesidade tem se tornado mais frequente em países de baixa e média renda, sendo que nos últimos anos sua prevalência aumentou de 4,8% para 6,2% em crianças abaixo dos 5 anos de idade entre os anos de 1990 e 2015. Devido ao aumento da chance de desenvolver problemas cardiovasculares e outras comorbidades, o procedimento cirúrgico é considerado efetivo nos casos de obesidade grave com falha de tratamento clínico. Os procedimentos podem envolver métodos restritivos e disabsortivos e, consequentemente, promover deficiências nutricionais. O presente estudo foi realizado através de uma revisão bibliográfica e teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura científica sobre os aspectos nutricionais em pacientes após cirurgia bariátrica utilizando o método de Gastroplastia Vertical em Y de Roux, focando nas alterações absortivas que podem ocorrer após a utilização do método e na importância da suplementação nutricional. Apesar de ser considerado o método cirúrgico para bariátrica mais utilizado, a Gastroplastia Vertical em Y de Roux, ou Bypass Gástrico em Y de Roux, pode provocar carências nutricionais devido à anastomose que é realizada e à alteração de absorção nutricional. Verificou-se que, além de uma dieta adequada, é necessário suplementar os principais nutrientes que tem sua absorção afetada pós cirurgia, como o a vitamina B12, vitamina B1, ácido fólico, vitaminas lipossolúveis (A, D, E e K), vitamina C, ferro, zinco, selênio, cobre e proteínas, por exemplo. Apesar dos inúmeros benefícios da cirurgia bariátrica, faz-se necessário um acompanhamento multiprofissional para que não ocorram complicações relacionadas às deficiências nutricionais, tornando-se importante que o paciente receba uma atenção farmacêutica e siga corretamente às recomendações e orientações, a fim de evitar desmotivação e insucesso no tratamento. Além disso, é imprescindível que mais estudos sejam realizados no âmbito da suplementação a fim de estabelecer quantidades eficazes no tratamento das deficiências nutricionais após cirurgia bariátrica.

Quando observarmos o Parque Dom Pedro II nos dias atuais, é praticamente impossível visualizarmos como ele era nos primórdios da sua criação. Podemos considerá-lo apenas como uma fratura urbana a qual passou por diversas intervenções sem a menor preocupação para a preservação da sua memória. Ao escolher o Quartel Tabatinguera como objeto de estudo, foi possível perceber que, por ele estar cercado de grandes avenidas e barreiras, a revitalização não resolveria seu problema pois as pessoas ainda assim teriam dificuldade de acesso e seria somente um fragmento revigorado no meio de uma paisagem altamente degradada. O Parque Dom Pedro II é um grande conector das zonas leste-oeste e das zonas norte-sul, contando com metrô, terminal de ônibus e algumas ciclofaixas. É uma área sem vida, altamente degradada, onde é possível observar que a maior parte que permanece são apenas moradores de rua, e é utilizado pelas pessoas apenas como transição e de escassa permanência.

Access to cultura and the protection of the national music bring new legal challenges since,nowadays, the consumption habits constantly change, especially with the propagation of music through the internet. In this context, the imposition of tax immunity of Brazilian music can be a tool for combating piracy and for the exploitation of national cultura, but is not sufficient to ensure that the scope of these goals, being important also that there is public policies of protection and dissemination of national music, and especially of ethics and education in the use of the internet. Thus, the appreciation of the brazilian music can be driven by tax immunity, but also by public policies for the promotion of national cultura and ethics.

Two samples were based on prior contacts of the investigator or for indication of other persons. Two inquiry instruments were developed: the first one for the offices, with predominance of scales of categorical nature, mapeando and when clients are categorizing the services offered by the offices and his relation with the enterprises; the second, for the enterprises, mapping the satisfaction of same with the services given by the offices of accounting that attend them, the technical advisory body that they receive as well as his main demands, when there is predominance of ordinal scales (of ten points) supposed like meters, specially in the questions for satisfaction evaluation. Results: Among the results, in the vision of the offices, it was noticed that they think that they help with efficiency the enterprises that contract them, they think that to make services available in digital platforms can maximize the captivation of new clients and minimize the escape of active clients and that they have interest in investing to make his services available in a digital platform. Already in the vision of the enterprises, it was noticed that they are declared satisfied with the services given by the offices of accounting, in terms of technical advisory body, though great most of the respondentes do not know the possibility of the offices they offer support reports to the decision; they believe that the documents for fulfillment of the legal obligations it is the only paper of the offices; they point also what receive documents out of the term and reports with delays that arrive to months. The enterprises show interest in contracting accounting services for digital platforms, depending on the relation I cost versus benefit. Practical implications: This work has practical implications for entrepreneurs and micro and small enterprises managers that look for better control and business management, as well as for accounting offices. For the enterprises the digital platform can be a facilitating tool in the search of services necessary for the management of his business with bigger reliability. For the accounting professionals the digital platform can provide the increase of the clients' wallet, develop services with enterprising improvements, create strategies and technological tools that make easy the contact between accountants and enterprises.

Frente ao tema da Bienal de Arquitetura de Veneza de 2018, intitulado “freespace”, que abordou a importância do espaço livre, emergiu a intenção de se estudar mais a fundo o assunto, tendo como foco a cidade de São Paulo, uma cidade global e contemporânea que se vê atualmente mergulhada no resultado de uma urbanização desenfreada que, aos poucos, deixou de ser pensada no âmbito do pedestre. Este trabalho visa, por meio de três partes, estudar conceitos e situações, e propor uma arquitetura que seja funcional e favorável à cidade e a seus usuários, visando melhorar a urbanidade e ressaltando a importância do espaço público dentro de um edifício, ora utilizado como passagem, ora como permanência, possibilitando que os cidadãos usufruam do espaço da melhor forma e consigam viver e desfrutar ao máximo todo o potencial que São Paulo pode oferecer.
