Analysing the ancient spaces designed for commerce in the history of civilisation it is possible notice that such places were not just used for the exchange of goods, but were also a place for meeting and for public life of citizens, as was the case of the Arabian bazaar, the Greek ágora and the Paris markets. This use of public space for commerce will undergo great changes after the Industrial Revolution, when products began to be produced in large scale and when population as a whole started to have access to the the places that sold these goods. It is the time of the appearance of big department stores and commercial arcades. Arcades, also called passages, first appeared in Paris, in the end of the 19th century, and spred throughout the world, modifying the relations between public and private in the urban space of cities. Being a private facility, accessible to the public in general, it was possible to browse through it without buying something. Differently from indoor shopping centres these spaces related in a more open way with the city, without visible barriers between public, private or semi-private spaces. In São Paulo commercial arcades appeared in the 20th century, following the Frnech idea of increasing the "profitable" areas of buildings. Most of them exist up to now and are located downtown. With their uses focused on commerce, many of them have specialised in one type of product. They are still used as passages by pedestrians who only wish to cross blocks through their interior. This research aims to analyse some of these places from the point of view of the relation established between public and private spaces taking into consideration the access, internal circulation and other important items in the project of each one of these arcades.

We can observe around the globe the emergence of a new type of urban occupation with a dispersive or diffused character, resulting from a number of factors, including the technological revolution, favorable turn-of-the-century global economic conditions, neoliberal urban policies, and new ways of life evolving in a redefined society. However, this occupation brings low densities, and burdens public agents with the expensive costs of extending infrastructure in vaster and distant spaces. This kind of occupation tends to multiply disorganized, disconnected, and often enclosed urban enclaves such as closed subdivisions, created according to the logic of real estate developers, limiting social exchange between social groups. This phenomenon, which presents peculiar traits in each locality or region – as seen in the referential cases of the American Sunbelt and Houston, Texas; and the megadevelopment of Nordelta to the North of Buenos Aires, Argentina – marks the formation of the São Paulo Macrometropolis, an urban complex in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, formed by the articulation of the Metropolitan Regions of São Paulo, Campinas, Baixada Santista, Vale do Paraíba / Litoral Norte, Sorocaba and the Urban Agglomerations of Jundiaí and Piracicaba; and, at the heart of this territory, occurs intensively in the city of Itupeva, which in this work is the object of study. Although a number of uses are present, the main protagonists in this case are residential subdivisions that function as gated communities, which multiplied intensively between the years 1990 and 2010. There is another example in the region that illustrates this phenomenon, the enterprise "Vida Completa Serra Azul", a private complex which brings together a range of urban activities; such as residential areas, hotel, theme parks, services and entertainment with controlled access. This urban morphology is supported by commercial enclaves, designed, implemented and managed by the private sector, and depends on your purchasing power to access its various elements.

The objective of this work is to do a critical analysis over the behavior of adolescents that belong to an internationally known religious group named The Watchtower Society. A report of the performance of this group was drawn from the origins, from its foundation to the current days. Their main doctrines and influences and how these determine their followers to be. After a brief definition of adolescent, their conflicts and challenges in this complicated period of the human existence, through the study of reports, testimonies, articles and Watchtower s literatures, a reflection was made over the adolescent's modus vivendi and the tensions which they go through and are constantly submitted, to guarantee that in everything they are faithful and prove their loyalty to the organization. When insubordination, questioning or confrontation happens, the disassociated adolescent suffers many profound and significant losses. For that reason, this work offers practical alternatives and solutions that aid to attend the recently disassociated in order to help in its social re-insertion.

The development of the capitalist system has required more and more participation in the labor market of qualified professionals and the development process of capitalism in its various stages has led to constant changes in the structure of that market. Lately the changes in business in Brazil have been more applicants, mainly from the process of stabilization and liberalization of the economy, these changes, which has been accentuated in the current phase of increasing globalization. This study is a contribution for the research of the emergence and evolution of the activity of the independent auditor in Brazil. The study also presents a brief comparative analysis of the development process of this activity in Brazil with that presented in other countries and also an assessment of the contribution that the activity can bring to society. For this, a search was conducted based on the sociology of professions, in order to understand how this specialization has become institutionalized, narrowed its field of operation in the country and whether it is or not, in the process of becoming from a field of accounting to autonomous profession. The research method used was the historiography, based on the model developed by Larson (1977) called Professional Project. We also conducted interviews with teachers and recognized experts in the area and the results were analyzed by the methodological approach of content analysis, which was based on the model developed by Bardin (2004). The results suggest that the process of professionalization of the independent auditor is still ongoing and for now does not meet all the requirements necessary and sufficient to be considered, from the perspective of the sociology of professions, a full profession. Although the activity already meets most of these requirements, there are still some steps to go.

The Presbyterian Church of Brazil, which since its foundation has as its objective not only to bring a religious spiritual focus, but also to teach about moral conduct, has a responsibility in positioning itself on such subject. The work, therefore, does not contemplate giving answers as to "right" or "wrong" about human sexology, but rather to point out what the aforesaid church has presented in relation to a liberal modernity and in contracting with what renowned theorists present in their works that, as we have seen, have still collaborated for concepts of life and practices seen in society even in modern times. What historically the institution has as doctrines, what has taught its members by their pastors and what such actions have left legacy for the society in which it is inserted and how to act, if necessary, to return to guiding principles originating from the formation of this church.

Against the backdrop of inquiries into the urban future of the city of São Paulo, this dissertation proposes a tool for assessing the extent to which the urban planning instruments established in the Strategic Master Plan of the city of São Paulo in 2014, the key document of the Regulatory Landmark of the city of São Paulo, contribute to the promotion of urbanity. Two contributions form the basis of the proposition: the literature on the concept of urbanity and a set of self-applied urban planning instruments, which are part of the plan and were created with the purpose of regulating urban organization and expansion. To make possible the setup of the tool, the study correlates concept and instruments. To do this, it re-elaborates the concept of urbanity in terms of urbanity parameters and associates them with a specific set of urbanistic instruments that are organized into functional groups. This correlation, with the addition of an assessment field is arranged in a table and constitutes the evaluation tool called the Assessment Matrix of Urbanistic Instruments. The test of the tool is done on an urban test through which the instruments are spatialized with their respective values in a predefined territory of the city of São Paulo. This exploratory exercise makes it possible to evaluate not only the functionality of the tool but also the urbanity potential of the urban planning instruments. Finally, the final considerations, before pointing out future developments of the study, highlight the main contributions of the dissertation: to shed some light on the concept of urbanity, its operationalization and its application in the making of urban regulatory instruments that aim to foster urbanity and to put forward a tool to assess those instruments.

The nursing has, in the educational action, one of its main guiding axes, that is consolidates in the various spaces of realization of the care. This implies thinking the educational action as a fundamental strategy for the professional formation and to identify pedagogical environments capable of potentiating this practice. Thus, this exploratory qualitative study aims to analyze the educational practices of nurses in health education. The stages of the investigation were organized in three moments: in the first one the instrument for data collection was constructed; in the second, the interviews were transcribed and in the third moment, the data were categorized and analyzed. To understand how nurses, conceive the educational dimension in their professional practice, four nurses from the city of São Paulo, who work at the different levels of attention, were interviewed. The data were ordered and classified according to the relationship between theoretically elaborated questions and questions arising from the investigative process. The colors black, red, pink and green were used to identify and distinguish nurses' speeches. The analysis of the data, resulted in four central information axes, being: (1) conceptions of the educative action from the point of view of the nurse; (2) the influence of undergraduate education on the daily educational practices of nurses' work; (3) educational actions in the nursing work reality; (4) the training needs of the nurse for the execution of educational actions in professional practice. It was verified that, in the view of nurses, health education is present in their daily work, in the form of training or formation, orientation, or meeting, of activities performed in moments of interaction between professionals and between the professional and the user of the health service, and may occur individually or collectively. The educational practice was seen as an activity of Primary health, expressing that its formation is still hospitalcentric, being in the figure of the teacher who believes in the educational role of the nurse, the influence that will make the difference in the professional future. The nurses agree on the success of the educational action, from the development of skills and competences, being the professional experience a moment of learning, complementing their initial formation.

This dissertation is inserted in the research line of teacher training for interdisciplinarity. It has as main objectives to raise the characteristics of the initial formation of the contemporary pedagogue, as well as to understand its relations with the digital culture, proposing, based on documentary and bibliographical analysis, the incorporation of knowledge related to the area of educational design and polydocence in the process of training. The research intends to contribute to the praxis of the pedagogue in the contemporaneity facing the digital culture and the constant technological changes. The methodology adopted by the researcher is qualitative, as it seeks to explain the reasons for the data analyzed in documents. In light of the theories, we chose the contributions of Bernadette Gatti and José Carlos Libâneo, regarding the analysis of the initial formation of pedagogues; Pierre Levy, Manuel Castells and Ángel L. Pérez Gomez, in the approach to digital culture; Andréa Filatro and Vani Moreira Kenski, in the conceptualization of educational design; Daniel Mill, in presenting the concept of polydocence; José Moran in the analysis about hybrid education; and Maurice Tardif, in the presentation of the teaching knowledge. Thus, in this research, we describe the institutionalization of the pedagogy course in the Brazilian higher education system, pointing to the formation dissociated from the digital culture; historically, the trajectory of instructional design to educational design, at national and international level, pointing out its professional specificities; and show the competences of educational design, in interlocution with the concept of polidocencia, for the formation of the pedagogue to act in hybrid spaces as manager of polidocentes teams.In the final part of this research, it is proposed the categorization of some knowledge necessary for the pedagogue to work in the hybrid school space.

This dissertation has built a tool for capturing behavior of the entrepreneur to be able to investigate experimentally if is observed the emergence of cooperative behaviors perceived as potentially spontaneously by entrepreneurs in response to decisions modeled Investors Early Stage (Early Stage) on the strategic interaction between them at the time of the "Closing the Deal" in the industry of Private Equity and Venture Capital (PE / VC), the Theory of Games. To do so, brief review of the theoretical characteristics of the industry Private Equity and Venture Capital is made in order to understand the characteristics of the experiment and understand the peculiarities existing in this type of interaction, in which value creation is long term process and dependent on extensive procedures in which underlies the cooperation of agents. A review of Game Theory was made to search for an alternative to the selfish behavior of non-cooperation. The alternative found is a Nash Equilibrium Perfect in Sub- Infinitely Repeated Games, in which it could be the spontaneous emergence of cooperation, even if the agents are in a situation like the Prisoners' Dilemma, in which the rewards, in the short term are higher for the behaviors of non-cooperation. Then, the Entrepreneurs Game its modeling and implementation, which was used for the construction of the tool data capture. In addiction are presented the two questionnaires that were selected as validation tools of the Game, working as a mapping of control variables aiming future validation of the Game. It was possible to observe a finding, even if only preliminary, that is the "learning effect" observed when analyzing the entrepreneurs responses in which the behavior of noncooperation was terminated.
