Rio de Janeiro s National Radio: a study about the consolidation of the broadcasting station during the period of 1936 to1945 is an investigation of the aspects that contributed for the radio success and appropriation in a sense of directing it as a mass media. The research aims to understand some reasons that helped to build up this situation such as the settling of the station as a radio broadcasting organization, the right use for the attributes this media has, the innovation in production and dissemination of some radio genders and, still, the influence of publicity and advertisement on this scenario. This way, is inevitable to establish a dialog between this radiobroadcasted material and the political, social and cultural context in the city at those years.

Teacher education and professional development are not limited to the initial phases of teaching, or to prescriptive models of training. The professional daily life of the teacher is marked by practices and challenges resulting from the most varied experiences lived, though, rarely socialized. Having the professional experience as the guiding principle of this work; the professor, in his place of work, is regarded as the main producer of knowledge upon his own pedagogical practice. The theoretical background draws on theories that have in the epistemology of the practice its foundation, such as: knowledge base of teaching and the process of pedagogical reasoning; collaborative groups and learning communities; reflexive practice and narrative inquiry. In particular, this work focuses on a group of four experienced English language teachers working in higher education at a public and technology school. From a collaborative perspective of work, it is sought to understand how this group analyzes their learning, their pedagogical practices and contributions derived from the actions exerted by the group itself as a space for the development of teaching. In light of that, a research of a qualitative nature is employed, adopting narrative inquiry as a methodological strategy. Over the course of eight months, biweekly, collective and individual meetings were recorded and transcribed, which came later to compose the field texts used as data collection. The analysis of collective narratives and individual life histories is in accordance with the concept of three-dimensional narrative space (Clandinin & Connelly, 2015) and confirm the group as a conducive environment to foster the development of landscapes of professional knowledge.

Starting at the articulation of projective codes and at the visual experience of the viewer coming from the arbitrary manipulation of projected shadows and of graphic constructions conceived in order to distort images in perspective, the artist Regine Silveira imposes to the visible world its most important visual paradoxes, Simulacros. Having as basic data the shadow, where all the present visual arbitrariness is articulated, as a referential work, Simulacros reveals the subjacent structure of an entire set, the photography. Submerged in this cruel conceptual universe where the code subversion emphasizes its artificiality, photography is inserted in the artist s work not only as an efficient resource in the visualities manipulation, but also lends to it all its imaginary power, giving visibility to the dialectical game between reality itself and its representation.

This thesis aims to problematize the existence of college radio stations in the face of the demands of contemporaneity with questions about management, format, sociocultural aspects of the target audience to find out if they continue to fulfill their educational and cultural role in society. For this, an international study was conducted supported by exploratory and qualitative field research in two North American stations of the State University of New York – SUNY: WCDB FM campus Albany and the 89.1 FM The Point campus Brockport and, in Brazil, The Rádio Web Mackenzie, from Mackenzie Presbyterian University, in which were pointed out territorial disconnections between digital youth and the academic community. Managers, employees, students and professors were heard in the three stations and observed that only the "intelligent and targeted use of technology" would bring back the belonging and engagement feelings - both in the production and outreach of the content - as the way for this reconnection. Otherwise, this traditional media, strong driver of the construction of citizenship, responsible for dissemination of scientific knowledge, "the voice" of cultural production to and with the community in which its belong, runs the risk of being muted.

O presente trabalho procura abordar a usabilidade do teatro, como peças didáticas/jogos teatrais em sala de aula em um contexto de ensino de Língua Inglesa para alunos do Ensino Médio, com o objetivo de mostrar aos professores e alunos uma saída para a rigidez do material didático proposto. O desenvolvimento do trabalho foi embasado em teorias da pedagogia e do teatro, de modo a combinar os dois conceitos e moldar aulas - de diversos temas do idioma - temáticas com jogos teatrais, podendo ser adaptadas para além do ensino de línguas. De modo geral, a pesquisa desenvolvida mostrou-se bastante consistente e digna de mais estudos tanto na área da educação quanto de teatro-educação, uma vez que une muitos elementos significativos de desenvolvimento para ambas as áreas.

This study addresses the reality of teaching art in schools of basic education and its environment grip is a Centro Educacional Melo e Arice, an institution of private schools in the city of Jacarei SP. Aims to present new possibilities of making art through advanced languages and artistic references, in order to broaden the repertoire sensitive and expressive of teachers and students, as well as reorienting the practice of teaching art. Presents an art workshop aimed at teachers of that school, led by a local artist, through action research, qualitative approach that allows the intervention of the researcher in order to produce knowledge and information from the field of research. The relevance of the research is established on two basic aspects: the pedagogical and social. From the social point of view, it recognizes the work of a local artist and represents a huge potential for expansion of cultural knowledge. From the pedagogical point of view, the research turns to confirmation that the more it promotes the teaching of art and their diverse modes of learning more is produced improvement in the quality of teaching and in people's lives by offering a proposal pedagogical aims to unite theory and practice. It is concluded from this study that with the offer of a training project through interdisciplinary proposals that blend artistic and social, will be unleashing good situations that may well expand the epistemological foundations of educators leading thus to rethink and analyze teaching practice in training experiences through workshops that make the action intense and alive with art without seeking answers ready to perform the actions.

Este Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso teve como objetivo acompanhar as eleições do ano de 2018 com o foco no Partido dos Trabalhadores, um dos maiores partidos do país, que levou dois candidatos ao Executivo nos últimos doze anos. Com a prisão do seu principal líder e articulador, o ex-presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, o cenário das eleições no ano de 2018 ficou muito incerto. Isso, porque a legenda continuava apostando na candidatura do petista e não admitia publicamente uma segunda opção para lançar ao pleito (como o ex-prefeito de São Paulo, Fernando Haddad, ou o ex- governador da Bahia, Jacques Wagner). Desta forma, a candidatura do ex-presidente dependeu da autorização do TSE (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral) – que a indeferiu em setembro deste ano. A grande reportagem escrita para fins de obtenção do título de bacharel em Jornalismo pela Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie acompanhou a legenda ao longo do ano e discute todas as questões acerca de herança política, e os motivos pelos quais diante do declínio de Lula, não houve um candidato com a sua força que pudesse fazer frente à oposição.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of additives (primary and secondary antioxidants) in thermal stabilization process of poly (lactic acid) / poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) - PLA / PBAT using a torque rheometer as a preliminary tool evaluation of the stabilization process. The additives Irganox 1010, Irganox 1076, Irganox B900, Irgafos 168, and a flavonoid were used in two concentrations, 0.3 and 0.5% w/w. The assessment of the effects of stabilizing additives was carried out by monitoring the torque during mixing molar mass measurements, infrared analysis, turbidity and Scanning Electron Microscopy of the samples after processing. It carried out the monitoring of the pure blend torque values and addition of stabilizing additives during processing up to 5 minutes in an internal mixer of the type "mixer" under rotation of 60 rpm and a temperature of 180 °C. Within a series of primary and secondary antioxidants, it was found that some of these additives failed torque values greater than or similar to the pure blend at certain concentrations (Irganox 1076, Irganox B900 and Irgafos 168). molar mass measurements showed that pure processed blend undergoes a large number of chain scission and most additives stabilizing action achieved unless the flavonoid. One important information obtained through analyzes of torque rheometry and molar mass that is higher drying time strongly prevents hydrolysis reactions. Comparing the infrared spectra of pure and pure blend blend processed, there is not the appearance of no new peak occurs due to the degradative process. By UV-Vis analysis of the polymer solutions we verified the presence of crosslinked polymer microstructures due to thermo-oxidative reactions. Images obtained by scanning Elletrônica Microscopy (SEM), one can observe the presence of two distinct phases for the pure blend processed, and the use of additives in both compositions show a much smaller difference of phases to blend pure. These results indicate the possibility of using commercial additives used for non-biodegradable polymers in systems using biodegradable polymers.

Since sustainability demands a paradigm shift in production and consumption patterns, the transition to another rationality in the organization requires corporate education efforts toward the development of its professionals. This objective demands to promote the exercise of critical reflection in organizations through a corporate education that distances itself from a proposal focused on purely pragmatic and instrumental training, fostering reflection, that is, that questions assumptions and that stimulates new values and culture towards sustainability. Theories of critical reflection (CR) and transformative learning (TL) are adequate to think about Corporate Education for Sustainability (CEfS). This research was guided by the types of reflection of Mezirow (1991): the “problem solving”, focused on the reflection on content and process and "problem posing", that focuses on the criticism of the premises belonging to the problem. In addition, it is also discussed the TL and the competences that it can foster to respond to the assumptions of sustainability in the organization. The overall goal of the research is to describe and analyze CEfS initiatives triggered by a financial institution in the light of the concepts of Critical Reflection and Transforming Learning, in order to understand how such formative actions are fostering the assumptions of sustainability in the organization. The object of study were the initiatives of CEfS offered by a Brazilian financial institution (FI) considered worldwide of excellence. In order to carry out the dissertation, the case study was adopted as a research strategy, with data construction by examining documents and interviews, using the template for analysis. The documentary analysis of the educational architecture focused on sustainability of the FI was carried out, and two formative actions of this set were examined in greater detail. In addition, considering the public of these two formative actions, eleven in-depth interviews were conducted with educators and open questions were sent via email to the participants, with the return of 81 students who externalized their perceptions. These data made it possible to observe a process of oscillation between more reflexive and critical training proposals in substitution for others of a more pragmatic and instrumental nature, in the period between 2003 and 2017, due to changes in the organization 's strategic orientation in this field. As a consequence, there was a depletion of CR and TL ideas for sustainability, which are expressed in the participants' narratives about the experiences lived. The narratives directed to the reflection of the content and the process prevailed in relation to the discourses involving premise, which has clear implications for the realization of the desired paradigm changes. This study contributes to thinking about CR and TL focused on sustainability in organizations, at the same time it shows elements that are important to be considered in the analysis of formative experiences of this nature, such as the pragmatic and reflective dimension of the educational initiative; training format; continuity of such action over time; contextual character and its relation to the collaborator's work and organization´s support in the post-course. As a practical contribution, this research sought to present subsidies for the advancement and improvement of training actions aimed at the objectives of sustainable and human development in the organization, guided by the exercise of critical reflection and of purposes from transformative learning, which represents a trend of current research related to corporate education.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue comprobar la relación establecida por los estudiantes de la Educación de Jóvenes y Adultos (EJA), entre la escuela y el espacio cultural. El estudio se lleró a cabo con 90 estudiantes de la EJA Ciclo Fundamental II, el período nocturno, de una ciudad de São Paulo. Para ver los estudiantes se utilizó un cuestionario. Las preguntas se dividen en bloques y sirvó para: a) caracterizar los estudiantes y su escuela; b) comprensión de la relación que se establece entre la escuela y espacio cultural; c) conocer su aprendizaje dentro y fuera de la escuela; d) identificar las expectativas de los estudiantes en relación a la escuela y al trabajo. El marco teórico discutido: con la educación y la cultura y cómo se relacionan con el caso de la escuela (educación formal) e incluso hay programas de cultural (educación no formal). Por esta razón, han recurrido-se a los conceptos de educación informal de las ideas de Gohn (2008/2010), Libâneo (2011) y Trilla (2008). También se utizaba las ideas de Chauí (2010) y Coelho (2006) para entender la cultura y a las ideas de Moreira (2008) a fin de reflexionar sobre el plan de estudios. Es de destacar algunos de los resultados de la búsqueda: a) el número de los jóvenes en la educación de adultos aumentó y disminuyó adulto; b) los estudiantes reconocen la importancia de la educación formal y se dan cuenta de que hay un conocimiento fuera de la escuela; c) el acceso a la producción cultural para algunos estudiantes no podrían existir sin la acción de la escuela; d) la necesidad de promover la retención de los estudiantes de la EJA en la escuela e intensifiquen su participación en los espacios de la cultura. Se ha considerado necesario ampliar en la acción de la escuela y del espacio cultural como lugares de difusión de los conocimientos que enfrenta la formación de la personas que actúan en y el mundo.

When analyzing the contemporary production of housing in Brazilian cities it is possible to note that the great majority of buildings are constructed without regard to the urban context in which they are inserted. When we transfer the production of these houses to the large scale, that is, the construction of housing complexes, the problems resulting from the denial of the public space of the cities become even more evident. More and more the sets close to the surroundings, forming enclaves and making their dialogue with the city practically null. Such a situation becomes worrying when thinking about the future of urban centers since the sets are designed as architectural objects, defined by the boundaries of the plots and isolated from the life of the cities. Based on this concern, this research intends to investigate the importance of public spaces in the construction of cities and has as research object the relationship between the street, the process of designing projects and the qualification of housing projects. A question motivates us to investigate: What role can the street play as an instrument for qualification of architecture and urban planning projects? When thinking about the street as an organizing element and qualifier of the project and not as a simple consequence of the proposed architecture, what is being done is to verify the possibility of a new way of designing the project itself, that is, the street as a design tool and Not as a residual space between buildings. In this way, it is tried to discover what would be its qualifying elements and how these could contribute in the conception of architectonic projects more contextualized and formadores of the construction of the cities. For the analysis of the relationship between the street, the process of designing projects and the qualification of housing complexes, this research considers two case studies: the Residencial Alto de Pinheiros and the Residencial Natingui, implanted by the public power in São Paulo in 1968 And 1971, respectively, the term of validity of BNH - National Bank of Housing.

Different theories seek to justify the main determinants of the capital structure of companies. For the trade-off theory, there may be an optimal capital structure in which firms seek a balance between the risk of bankruptcy and the tax benefits generated by the deduction of interest on debt. Despite the relevance of both aspects, their joint analysis is still little explored in international and local studies. Thus, this study tries to understand why the companies do not use all the fiscal benefit associated to the indebtedness, presenting an apparent conservative behavior in relation to its low level of leverage. It is also intended to verify if a possible nonoptimization of the tax benefits arising from the indebtedness is due to a higher cost of ex ante bankruptcy of the company or due to the existence of other tax benefits not related to the debts. The resulting hypotheses are verified using descriptive statistics, correlation, simultaneous, ordered probit and tobit regressions. The sample of interest considers 38 Brazilian nonfinancial companies. The analyzed data comprise the period from 2009 to 2018, that have been obtained from the databases of Standard & Poor's (S&P) - Capital IQ - and Bloomberg. In order to infer if companies present a conservative behavior, the tax benefit and the ex-ante bankruptcy cost associated to the increase in indebtedness are calculated, considering a one level rating downgrade based on as ordered probit model. If the tax benefit is higher than the bankruptcy cost, it can be inferred that companies have a conservative behavior. The evidence of this work points to a conservative behavior of Brazilian companies. In order to evaluate whether companies use other tax benefits not associated with debt, a tobit model is developed in which the kink variable (EBIT / interest paid) is the dependent one. The results of the models indicate that the variables carryover losses and deferred taxes are statistically significant and present the signs according to what was expected by the theory. That is, companies use these benefits to reduce the tax base, confirming the hypothesis of using non-debt benefits. Thus, the evidence indicates that companies present a conservative behavior when the relationship between the tax benefit of the debt and the bankruptcy cost are considered, and that non debt tax shields are relevant in the definition of the ratio of EBIT and interest paid.

The Rett Syndrome (RTT) is characterized by a progressive neurological disorder that almost exclusively affects females, being defined by the functional loss of motor and cognitive skills. The severity of the case makes it difficult the social and communication development of the affected patients. The goal of this study was to verify if, independently of the presented stimulus on the computer screen – produced by a computerized eye tracking equipment – there would be a visual preference standard of people suffering from RTT. The group that was studied was formed by 18 patients with Rett Syndrome, registered in the “Associação Brasileira de Sindrome de Rett (Abre-te/SP)”, with ages from 2 to 30 years old. Our investigation analyzed the average percentage of the time of staring to the computer screen; the existence or not of the correlation between patients ages and the staring preference to the left/right side, or the up/down positions. It was concluded through the gathered data from the RTT groups that – no matter the age and the motor skills of the investigated patients – they look to the computer screen no independently of the presented stimulus, with a visual preference to the left side of the computer screen.

On this essay we are going to describe and analyze some aspects of urban cultural dynamics from the leisure practices, which aims to rebuilt by historiography the living about intercession between the streets the uses of built. The research is composed by three texts about leisure arrangements and meeting places, accompanying the development and urban expansion of the city of São Paulo and, therefore, in three different momments, with the intentions of looking for the way that people handled with the places that they used to entertained and how it used to be appropriated and what changes. The adopted strategy consists on the dyad of the term "events". On the one hand, the deregulation of rules originally proposed, in a reflection that proposes changes, especially immaterial, in this case, urban culture. The other, expresses the playful act itself, which is also the leisure empiricism manifested in the celebration of moments of scheduled or spontaneous meetings. The goal is to identify the places where the effect of these practices get along with greater intensity and recurrence, electing thus an urban piece (a street) emblematic of its time and thus describe the practice and peculiarities occurrences in it, "How was it, what they used to do, what has changed and what has remained about the urban culture?". Reflect on the "amusements" of society, from past to contemporary times, it is the " enchantment " of this research. The method applied on this research, that we belive to give way support for its development, consists on bibliographic and iconographic review, with some special attention and selection in journalistic material because their daily publications. Indeed, the conceptual theoretical framework engenders some interpretative keys that are incisive look at the production of the São Paulo metropolis, especially for civil relations. APRESENTAÇÃO 10 If the appropriations for leisure are state of awakening products latency of a particular environment with a view to its possibilities, the volume of production in other sectors could not pass unscathed through this process. In light of these considerations, each chapter discusses a systemic approach to the housing sector, trade and services, corporate and leisure, which requires its own spatiality. Finally, what we want to offer from this study, in addition to contextualize some facets of diversity, productions and cultural practices, is to reflect on the exhaustion of the places. In São Paulo as a large urban center, prestigious locations that occurred relapses of leisure activities, are the same as those of yesteryears? Therefore, it is a reflection on the city that since the times of its "black gold" own, the coffee, the city was designed to work and thought by the action of the Money, and then, to the uses of the cars, thus, conveys a message that anything as the same time everything seems to have to bind with the cultural development of leisure.

This thesis aims to examine the update that the myth of Orpheus has suffered in the movie "Coraline" an adaptation of the British Neil Gaiman s novel "Coraline" (2003) , through a comparative and dialogic analysis, based on Bakhtin s concepts of dialogism, carnivalization and grotesque, between the original myth and its degradation in the film work. The proposal of a dialogic study between the myth of Orpheus and the movie happens not only because of the dessacralization that the myth has suffered, but also for the common theme of the katabasis, since Coraline and Orpheu made it to rescue something that was taken from them, whether it was the loved one or the recognition of the family and own values. After this analysis, based on Mircea Eliade s, Pierre Brunel s and João Batista de Brito s studies, the double was shown as an increase that the myth has suffered on this update and the reason why there was the manifestation of the double in this work was elucidated.
