foram as palavras do ex-prefeito de São Paulo, João Doria, após megaoperação realizada pelo Governo do Estado e pela Prefeitura na madrugada do dia 21 de maio de 2017. A ação opressora contou com 900 agentes, helicópteros, bombas de efeito moral, balas de borracha e abordagens agressivas por parte das polícias Civil e Militar, com o intuito de dispersar os usuários do fluxo e liberar acesso às principais ruas para entrar em hotéis, pensões e estabelecimentos comerciais, onde se encontravam “traficantes suspeitos”

Results and contributions: Besides failing in levelling the minimum quality of safety signage, the results show that regulation has ultimately produced a perverse effect by creating imbalances in the market competitive forces that tend to shift end-users' preferences to the manufactures in ´non-compliance´ with the MQS, who remain unpunished and unscathed in the market. Moreover, the regulatory environment has developed some inner characteristics that tend to a continuous state of deterioration. The result analysis indicates a possible direction for improvements if a more complete regulatory process is implemented, with the inclusion of auxiliary legislation that comprises fines for those companies found in non-compliance and a monitoring and enforcement policy scheme that makes quality assessments possible. Objectives: This paper assesses the influence of end-users’ choices on the average quality level and prices of safety signage based upon the initial, and suggested by the literature, idea of an incomplete and lax enforcement policy. Thus, a specific objective must be determined corresponding to the perception of the general market compliance with the MQS and the regulatory process as a whole. Relevance: Safety signs in Brazil are regulated by legislation issued by fire brigades and technically grounded by a minimum quality standard (MQS), namely the standard from the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas) ABNT NBR 13434, parts 1, 2 and 3. When the vertical product quality dimension is not easily observable, complementary control mechanisms should be established aiming a broad and complete regulatory process, from the emission of the MQS to the process of inspection and sanctioning. In doing this, the possibility of having a counterproductive regulation effect in the market is diminished; by the regulatory failure in establishing a minimum quality safety signs’ level, end-users tend to push manufacturers for 'low cost signs’ which in turn are able to meet such demands through the relaxation of product quality levels. Impact: The regulatory environment created over time has privileged safety signs’ manufacturers in ‘non-compliance’ with the MQS, and the constant demand for such products has facilitated the entry of new manufacturers. Cumulatively, the technical inability of enforcement bodies in observing safety signs’ real quality, tends to discourage stricter supervision, ultimately resulting in a complete lack of control of the regulatory process. Methodology: The present study applies the accounting tool of total cost of ownership to examine the end-user influence on the status quo of safety signage using qualitative research obtained via semi-structured interviews conducted to ten distribution companies of safety signs from the states of São Paulo and Paraná.

O presente trabalho visa abordar os aspectos gerais do direito à laje, tal qual trazido na lei 13.465 de 11 de julho de 2017, bem como a repercussão da novidade legislativa na sociedade. A relevância se extrai do modelo de construção popular denominado laje nas comunidades brasileiras, que são largamente utilizadas e em constante crescimento. O método empregado é a análise legal, doutrinária e jurisprudencial do tema. Traça-se neste trabalho uma incursão aos direitos reais, adentrando aos aspectos comuns entre si e sua diferenciação com os direitos pessoais. Em seguida, faz-se uma breve digressão ao processo de expansão urbana no Brasil, culminando no processo de segregação urbana e formação das favelas. Vê-se que a laje foi inserida no ordenamento jurídico no patamar dos direitos reais, podendo ser extraídas da sua criação, características próprias que a diferem dos demais institutos, com destaque ao condomínio edilício, superfície civil e urbana. A aplicação do novo direito na sociedade demonstra ser viável dentro da modalidade de regularização urbana de interesse social, trazida na própria lei que instituiu o direito à laje, fora desse contexto a efetivação do direito é mais embaraçosa.

Artificial lighting is considered one of the biggest energy costs in commercial buildings after the air conditioning systems. The design of efficient lighting system contributes to energy sustainability of buildings throughout the building life cycle. Another important aspect of the project is the importance of quality lighting in the health and safety of workers, directly affecting its production. This research aims to analyze what characteristics lead to the quality of artificial lighting design and energy efficiency. The method applied is the embedded case study, having as object of study the Philips head office in Barueri. The form of analysis is to support Brazilian rules and American on the subject, ISO / CIE. 8995-1 (2013) and the Guide ANSI / IES - RP-1-12 (2012) and the certification of LEED and RTQ-C Procel. The analysis carried out at the office Philips demonstrates a balance from the design of interior design, with the colors of the walls in each room designed for their use, but also for better lighting and user productivity.

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.
