In recent decades, internationalization has been adopted by micro, small and medium enterprises MSE s as a commercial alternative. Two reasons stand out to justify such an operation. The first is related to long-term growth and the second for the opportunity of new business. However, in both situations you need to know in depth the international market due to it s dynamism. In this context, the company's efforts in managing the market knowledge and international demands is greater than the effort for managing knowledge in the domestic market, which requires a degree of ability to absorb knowledge. In this sense, understand the absorption capacity becomes one of the skills essential for companies operating in such markets. Considering the importance of internationalization in business and the need to understand the absorption capacity, this study has as objective to identify which features are related to the absorption capacity of knowledge present in export practices in a small company located in the State of Tocantins. For it s implementation we have used two stages: the first consisted of a preparatory phase involving three micro exporters and three experts in foreign trade, the second phase consisted in the case study on a micro producer of articles derived from a grass exists only in Jalapão, a unit of environmental conservation, the City of High Point Tocantins. In the study, it was found that the absorption capacity in the process of internationalization by exporting becomes a differentiating factor when applied correctly. When the potential capacity is not exploited properly, the capacity is performed impaired, causing damage to the organization.

Faced with an economic context where the presence of financial institutions is of paramount importance, mainly for ensuring the maintenance of financial services, it is noted that the assistance provided by internal audit to financial institutions have a key role in proper development of them and therefore the very economy as a whole, due to its role of checking that the procedures adopted in relation to standards and internal controls. But is the control characteristic of the internal audit activity, is at fault or pointing the involuntary image of your paper arising from past practices of internal audit supervision and punishment, it is considered the possibility of auditee have fear or other negative feelings associated internal audit which will influence your decision making capability in the company, which indirectly reflected in the relationship between internal audit and the auditee parties and consequently influence the behavior of employees. Given the aforementioned context, the need to check: How the perception of internal audit affect the mood of the auditee? The theoretical framework of this study addressed the objectives and the performance of internal audit, the process of perception and the composition of moods. Methodologically the research was mixed, with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative data were collected using closed questionnaires, with questions organized into three dimensions: cognitive (what is known about the role of the auditor), affective (feelings associated with the audit situation) and behavioral (the experience that has with auditing situations). The sample consisted of 121 respondents employees of a unit of the Federal Savings Bank. Data were analyzed using descriptive and multivariate statistics. The results showed that the mood of the auditee was related to cognitive, behavioral and affective aspects, obtained by multiple linear regression equation involving the three referenced aspects. Qualitative data showed that in general, as the vision of four internal auditors, there was a change in the perception of the auditee for the internal audit and over the years this image of supervision and punishment in relation to the internal audit, gradually is losing their strength; which reinforced the results of quantitative research, it was shown a balance in the state of mind of the auditee, regardless of the presence of internal audit or the time since the last audit. It was the need of managers, the case study, clarifies the audit programs and the criteria used by the auditors, as they were not clear to auditee, which would contribute to the inter-relationship and collaboration between internal auditors and auditee and accelerate the reduction of significantly surveillance image.

Inserted in theme "Sustainable Architecture", followed by considerations for the preparation of the "Architectural Design" for "Sustainability", this research begins the study of the concept for Sustainable Development related to "Sustainable Design", anchored in ecological, economic, social, spatial, cultural, technological and political dimensions. This research deals with the criteria that are capable of contributing to the viability of "Architectural Projects of Sustainable Development" to homes single-family houses in the city of São Paulo-SP. These criteria are observed for the viability and applicability of techniques and sustainable technologies that contribute to new methodologies able to resolve the environmental issues in the civil construction sector. To achieve these objectives of environmental quality beside the architecture, it will be indispensable to the attainment of sustainable construction compatible with the energy savings and the use of renewable materials, observing the cultural framework and socioeconomic status. The breadth and complexity of the issue reflects the difficulty and the challenge to establish parameters for analysis appropriate to the various elements inter-related residential construction for selfsufficient in energy. There are solar-houses that reduce the generation of waste, thus contributing to sustainable development, mitigating global warming, especially the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases. This research is a case study of a project feasible and their technologies, which contribute to overcome the environmental problems of today. Within this universe of propositions, actions and responsibilities, the discussion presented from the perspective of the architect, the Brazilian prototype Ekó House, developed in partnership of major universities to the tender Solar Decathlon Europe, competition that took place in Madrid, Spain, in the month of September 2012.

The literature about Knowledge Management (KM) has evolved to a stage to discuss the conditions for the success of its strategies, processes and application, including professional services companies. However, there are few researches in Brazil dealing with KM experiences in Brazilian companies. The previous studies already indicate that KM affects ACAP, so in the present study we seek to identify and analyze the influence of the adoption of knowledge management practices on the ACAP of professional services firms (PSF) of accounting according to the dimensions of the absorptive capacity proposed by Zahra and George (2002). For this, an exploratory research under qualitative method of content analysis were carried out, using as a procedure the data collection through in-depth interviews in four accounting organizations. As main results, we were able to raise 41 knowledge management practices present in five dimensions of the KM proposed by Kianto and Andreeva (2014), such as strategic knowledge management, organizational culture management, human resources management, organizational structure management and management of information and communication technology. The main dimensions identified in the research were organizational culture management and management of information and communication technology. The dimensions of the Potential and Realized ACAP and its categories of acquisition, assimilation, transformation and exploitation assessed the influence of ACAP. We found that KM has a greater influence on Realized ACAP. Additionally, we have identified four insights on how accounting organizations can adopt KM practices to improve their ACAP.

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.

This paper is about an existent dialogue between texts with a distinct nature, meaning, it is a study about the dialogism in literature and mural painting. For that, is used as a analysis corpus, a chapter that is a part of the book El laberinto de la soledad, by Octavio Paz, title De la independencia a la revolucion, in which, the author brings up a reflection about the constitution of the identity formation and ideological of the Mexicans in the XIX century. As a imagery analysis corpus are in two murals of Diego Rivera title The marriage of the artistic expression of the north and south of the continent e la lluvia. The theoretical foundation used to develop this paper comprises authors that discuss the dialogical relations in art and also politics issues and imagery, such as Bakthin, Ferrara, Kristeva, Barros among others, in the matter of dialogical issues and intertextual; Gomes Filho, Dondis, Arnheim, Manguel and others in order to support the imagery analysis and to clarify politics issues and the rehearsals Krauze, Fuentes, Vasconcellos, among others.

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.
