Graciliano Ramos, in his literary works, always did a search into human s soul , as Antonio Cândido said. Such searching is done through psychological and social views, with the support of the literary language. However, the language used by the northern writer is distinguished: he legitimates the northern language, showing to the reader what the peoples from this place could say, think and ponder in many situations. Among Graciliano s literary works, we intend to tell about some analogous topics on the first four published books: Caetes (1933), Saint Bernard (1934), Anguish (1936) and Barren Lives (1938) are books we can find literary connection between the author and the characters; the Graciliano s severe self-criticism; the analysis about humane and their social local; the ideological conflict; and the language s power. However, the last subject is analyzed with emphasis on the two last books because, in our reading, the writer focuses the combination between the language and human beings in their social place. In this way, we are going to try helping the studies about Graciliano s literary works for extending the knowledge about northern literature in Brazil.

In the analysis of 50 years of expand the "urban irregularity" in Brasilia, it appears that although the state has possession of a substantial part of the urban land - 51%, a fact unique in Brazilian cities - and also has the control of the planning process, Brasília has poor neighborhoods with slums and low-income population subdivisions. The modern planning, deployed from the PEOT of 1977, and the intense state control over the occupation of the territory did not prevent many pioneer settlements, like the Núcleo Bandeirante and Vila Planalto; they prospered and reached the 1980s consolidated. The State, even though the having the "meat and potatoes" in hand, to make living conditions in the formal city, could not prevent Brasilia arrive the year of 2006 with 24% of its population living in informal settlements. We notice, in this study, that this phenomenon was the result of a dialectical process between government actions and society, not just the product of isolated factors, besides being part of a complex dynamic of capital, which is involved in the recovery of the land and its subsequent use as an important currency in the regional economy of few options for wealth generating.

Esse trabalho apresenta o relatório do projeto da grande reportagem “Paredes Invisíveis – Solidão e dependência na era da tecnocultura”, feita no modelo da revista piauí e aborda como tema o uso da internet e da tecnologia, baseado principalmente nos estudos do pesquisador Zygmunt Bauman. O foco é compreender como as interações sociais se transformaram a partir dessas ferramentas, como as dinâmicas em sociedade transmutaram para relações rasas, efêmeras e vazias, analisar quando o homem deixou que a necessidade de praticidade se tornasse um vício e uma obsessão, e quais os impactos desse comportamento na vida em sociedade

This paper analised the ITEJ, Igreja Tabernáculo Evangélico de Jesus, popularly known as CB, Casa da Bênção. It is a Pentecostal church whose growth constitutes another Brazilian phenomenon which, although it has drawn the attention of the press many times, it has not enough being studied academically. Founded in 1964 by the couple Doriel de Oliveira and Ruth Brunelli de Oliveira, CB has its origins in the church Pentecostal o Brasil para Cristo founded and presided by the missionary Manoel de Mello. CB is one of the earliest Pentecostal denominations in Brazil. From it many other churches with the same profile were organized and spread throughout the country. Initially, CB revolved around classical Pentecostalism, whose main adept is Assembleia de Deus and the divine healing movements and evangelistic campaigns in canvas tents, brought to Brazil by the founders of Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular. Marveled by the Pentecostal movement presented by the American missionaries Harold Williams and Raymond Boatwright, Manoel de Mello that worked as an Assemblies of God deacon, followed them for a while until he founded his own moment that was called Igreja Pentecostal o Brasil para Cristo. Doriel and his brother, Ducler, still at a very young age, followed Manoel de Mello. Doriel and his wife started the church called Igreja Pentecostal o Brasil para Cristo in the city of Belo Horizonte. After rupturing with that denomination, Doriel started CB, transferring its headquartes to the city of Brasilia where stands a magnificent cathedral that gathers thousands of people and has around 3,195 churches around Brazil, as well as others (whose number was not revealed by its general secretariat) spread in 14 countries. Its theology, although keeps traits of classical Pentecostalism, has strong neopentecostalism features due to opening to some practices and beliefs which belong to this new Pentecostal model.

The research problem to be studied is related to the way companies from the services industry use customer databases to discover useful knowledge about their customers, in order to improve the development of relationship strategies with them. This issue is important mainly because due to the increasing of concurrence and customer demand, the company needs to relate differently with their customers, so that thy can keep in its portfolio the most profitable ones. In this way, the theory has suggested a deeper integration among distinct disciplines as Relationship Marketing, CRM and Data Mining. In this current study, it was investigated the way the theory presents and describes database analysis processes and, as a result, some proposals were found out, that segment the processes of discovering knowledge in databases in stages like problem understanding, data understanding, data preparation, data modeling data, model evaluation and deployment. The target population was composed by companies from the services industry from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro cities and a quantitative research was made by applying a questionnaire to 67 professionals from the target population. In this research, themes as utilization level from stages of process of discovering knowledge in databases, utilization level of data mining techniques and utilization level of relationship strategies were investigated. It was discovered that the companies researched have a high utilization level of the stages of knowledge discovery identified in the theory, just only a small part of the data mining techniques are uniformly used by the companies researched and, at last, the strategies with the highest utilization levels are that related to the acquisition of new customers and identification of profitable ones. This last discover was a little bit surprising, because it is opposed to the way of thinking of some authors who defend companies should focus on their relationship strategies in the customer retention. These results can be used to support companies, in subjects related to the development of customer relationship strategies, based in an integrated analysis of business issues, customer information, as well quantitative models of analysis from this information, in order to turn it into useful knowledge to the making decision.

This study discusses the biological gender difference in learning. The differences are perceived both in childhood, growth and development, and in the behavior of boys and girls. To ascertain whether boys and girls have the same performance in reading, writing, arithmetic, attention and spatial localization, 61 students participated in this study, with 9 and 10 years of age, 33 girls and 28 boys enrolled in the 4th. Year of elementary education in a private school in the central region of São Paulo. In weekly meetings, the students performed the following tests: Test of writing under dictation (PED-VR), Test of attention by cancellation (TAC), Contrastive test of auditory comprehension and reading (TCCAL), Test of Arithmetic (PA) and a Virtual maze game called Maze King (MK). The gross scores of all tests were analyzed and the results found showed no difference in the performance of boys and girls. Although the girls were relatively better in the averages of each test, in the comparison between boys and girls, it was concluded that there was homogeneity between the groups. Therefore, there was no difference in performance between the biological sexes in the skills tested in this study

This work is based on a primary idea: the need of establishing in Brazil a new prison technique able to operate the transformation of the prisioners in the way to change their criminal inclination, neutralizing their risks, becoming friendly, excluded of their originary world. It is the work's purpose show that the actual disciplinary system applied inside of the brazilians prisons centralized their technique only in repressive effects, not giving importance to the recovery of the prisioner. The desertion of the prisional system by the State responsability, supported the formation of criminal factions. The challenge is substitute a power that expresses itself toward the shine of the unused, for a power that looks for discipline, in the way that society represented for the State, occupy the place of ideal between the prisioner.

The objective of this work is to measure the financial effect reflected in the behavior of certain companies’ shares listed in the Brazilian capital market and audited by Big Four audit firms after public sanctions issued by PCAOB in the period from 2002 to 2017. To achieve this goal, the research methodology applied was the event study, with a quantitative approach, based on historical closing prices of shares extracted by the Economática software. The practical implications of this study are related to the evidence provided of how the Brazilian capital market performs the reading of facts that involve the integrity and reputation of an independent audit firm. This research differs from the others already published within the scope of the PCAOB, since it relates the reaction of the Brazilian financial market in the pricing of shares after events that put in doubt the quality of the independent service carried out by a Big Four audit firm. The results presented by this study corroborate the semi-efficient hypothesis of the Brazilian market, since it was possible to observe that the company mentioned in the sanction issued by PCAOB and the companies listed in the IBOVESPA index and that are audited by BigFour audit firms, suffered abnormal returns following the publication of PCAOB censures in at least one of the periods analyzed for the events under study.
