Prader Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder resulting from the absence of parental gene expression in the proximal region of the long arm of chromosome 15 (13q-11.2q). It is characterized by neonatal hypotonia, hyperphagia, obesity, hypogonadism, intellectual disability (ID), deficiency in GH, underactive and delayed motor development. Daily physical training programs (TP) showed an increase in lean body mass (LBM) and reduction of fat body mass (FBM) in PWS. However, it was not observed TP with overload. Studies have demonstrated the positive effect of short physical TP on LBM, the gait pattern and the postural strategy. However, no physical TP was built individually and provided a progressive overload throughout the monitoring period. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of PT on indicators of physical fitness in two children with PWS. This study is a descriptive follow-up study of 2 cases of children with PWS (CA with 11 years old and CB 14 with years old) who were evaluated, subjected to one TP lasting 12 weeks and were reassessed at the end of period. We used the following assessment tools for the evaluation of physical fitness indicators: anamnesis, assessment of the physical fitness level (PRODOWN); anthropometric complementary assessment; body composition assessment (DEXA) and physical level activity questionnaire (FLAQ). The PT was adapted for the specific population of this study (children with PWS) so that the participants had a progressive increase in training load during the PT execution. It was possible to verify the end of this study the positive effects of the physical training program for children with PWS. There was improvement in several indicators of physical fitness and weight reduction in CA and increased spontaneous physical activity in CB. Furthermore, after 12 weeks and 10 weeks of training, CA and CB, respectively, increased almost all test of assessment battery of PRODOWN.

The present study aims to investigate possible ways in education for working tools in order to contribute to a more humane and meaningful education that respects the differences from the following questions: What are the contributions of multicultural projects like mediation and access to culture? How to lead the school community to participate in multicultural projects and respond to such holdings? As a result our students to realize and understand how cultural beings? To answer them, broke the record of multicultural projects developed in a private school in Secondary School East Side of the city of São Paulo in order to understand which paths in search of expanding knowledge based education in multicultural projects like a possible pedagogical action. For both , were studied and theoretical concepts about culture, projects and teacher training and also conducted research with teachers , students and parents of students who engaged in these multicultural projects , which seek hearing to reflect on the pedagogical actions taken to route changes possible or advances. Throughout this process, we realized the importance of education in a multicultural project that aims to be diversified, flexible and reflective, but also the necessary change of attitude of teachers and institutions as a possible way to go and contributing to providing access to culture and individual and collective understanding of how each school community of their cultural backgrounds, bringing life into the school.

The aim of this study is to understand the change and different uses of management accounting practices in face of institutional complexity by presenting a mini ethnographic case study in a family organization acquired by a business conglomerate that implemented changes to the management accounting practices used, emerging from an interaction complex of institutional pressures and situational and historical factors. The study analyzes this context of changes at the macro level that affect internal processes and results at the micro level, connecting a theoretical puzzle analyzed under the light of Institutional Theory, more specifically that of institutional logics, combined with the perspective of logics situated in the study of organizations, which outlines how 'situated logics' emerge that shape the use of management accounting practices, relating them to the basic assumptions taken for granted by different groups of actors. This study addresses a gap in the literature related to Institutional Theory, as it addresses the heterogeneity of practices in a more comprehensive and justified way of different uses. The way in which the diversity of practices is seen in organizations, lacking guidance and alignment, may be less a matter of minimizing tensions, a situation that inhibits the questioning of knowledge and information previously considered certain. The perspective developed in this study opens paths for promising research on the challenges that organizations face as they change, implicated in important questions on how organizations manage change as a constitution and capacity building mechanism for appropriate measures in everyday situations in organizations.

It is notorious how often and fast most of companies, in the global environment, take decision on establishing goals to achieve near perfect quality for a product or service through the implementation of better process and new tools. Six Sigma as example is one of the methodology in which the adherence has been massive and constant in the business world, however, few companies take advantage of this tool in their administrative processes, mainly speaking, in the product and services pricing process (FRANK, 2003). The heart of the matter is that many organizations use the disciplines of Six Sigma to reduce their manufacturing costs, therefore, they also can use the same tool to increase their revenue in the way to reduce losses and minimize tension on management decision process, which means, apply Six Sigma not only on manufacturing process but others (SODHI and SODHI, 2005). Facing this opportunity, hereby the main goal of this research, through the Six Sigma methodology and its new approach Six Sigma Pricing, is to perform a sales pricing process diagnosis and analysis in order to propose improvements to an automotive industry supplier. Due to some limitations to apply full DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control) steps, which is the Six Sigma (Pricing) methodology s pillars, it were only applied in this research the first three phases so-called DMA (Define, Measure, Analyse) and in the Improve phase it were done the process improvements proposals. It was firmly believed that applying these first three phases in the company pricing process was very valuable to bring out the various "flaws"/problems and their "countermeasures"/proposals for potential solution thereof. Therefore, it is understood that the practical and theoretical contributions resulted from this research proved that the methodology and its tools are powerful in all its phases to come up with potential pricing troubleshooting.

Esta pesquisa pretende abordar de que forma a obsolescência programada tem sido debatida pelos Órgãos Administrativos e pelo Judiciário brasileiro à luz da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (Lei nº 12.305/2010). O tema apresenta uma análise do desenvolvimento sustentável, a partir do estudo da doutrina, jurisprudências e relatórios sobre a aplicabilidade da Lei, nos quais se observa o impacto dos mercados de consumo, especificamente pilhas e baterias, e a efetividade da políticas públicas aliadas à ações que visem o cumprimento de metas para o alcance do equilíbrio entre a cadeia produtiva de produtos e resíduos.

Contemporaneous society lives ubiquity to its fullest. However, the ubiquity alone does not reflect the reality of today's society, but when it appropriates the flexible ability of communication in social organizations, integrated to the digital culture, reconfigures a deployed hypermobility, or the ubiquity of networks, thought, information, knowledge, communication. In this sense, the changes mediated by hypermobility and digital literacy of technological ubiquity also resonate intensely in educational action and learning, precisely because these are integrated into this movement as an aesthetic of contemporary times. In this perspective, this research developed under the program of graduate studies in education, art and history of culture, college of education, university mackenzie, nears the approach to aesthetic perception in educational practice of languages the "pedagogy of (multi) literacies" and the ubiquitous learning. To enable these approaches, some essays (rojo, 2009, 2012a, 2012b, 2013; santaella, 2003, 2007, 2013th, 2013b) were fundamental to understand the boundaries of languages, its (multi)literacies, education, in the view the ubiquitous learning and the intense effect on the dimensions of interdisciplinarity, of digital culture. Thus, in a first discussion plan, with the development of the research, there was a need to overcome the basic limit on digital culture studies, which were already experiencing a lot of research to then investigate the implications of these contributions to analyze the aesthetic perception of languages educators. This approach was possible, methodologically, from the principles of qualitative research in lankshear and knobel (2008), based on the concept of aesthetic perception of maffesoli (1999), especially in the expansion of this view held by scherer (2005). According to scherer (2005), the representation that is established in the aesthetic perception is possible by releasing and contemplation in the analysis, which for both authors (maffesoli, 1999; scherer, 2005) becomes significant by constant motion. Thus, this movement, in the research, is reconfigured and by a new reading becomes inherent to the perception that the (multi) literacies provides aesthetic languages in the field of the construction range of meanings. This referral was realized as a result of applying a structured questionnaire with a broad construction of statements and references, which were focused on the provides aesthetic languages in the field of the construction range of meanings. This referral was realized as a result of applying a structured questionnaire with a broad construction of statements and references, which were focused on the main concepts of this study. Methodologically, the composition of the research subjects, was developed voluntarily by art teachers and languages of three campuses that comprise the federal institute of paraná. As data resulting from this qualitative analysis, it became clear that educators have already developed educational practices out over the teaching of languages integrated to new literacies and multiliterates practices. However, they envisioned a need for continuous formation that may develop increasingly an interdisciplinary aesthetic dimension, enabled from the ongoing dialogue with other fields of knowledge. Still, they brought the concern of a pedagogical work focused on the digital culture, placing it open in your daily life for this integration. So, they demonstrated through their perceptions effective proximity of the aesthetic movement of ubiquity in learning, realizing a current importance and recognizing an educational action with (multi)literacies practices in modern
