The present research aims at promoting a reflection on the application of the Calvinist Cosmovision for the Happy Child Social Project, and its protagonists in Vila Buenos Aires Presbyterian Church. This church belongs to São Paulo s Eastern Presbytery in São Paulo s capital, belonging to the Brazilian Presbyterian church council. Some taken actions were related to the proposed theme: the qualitative approach, the historical and comparative procedures, together with a descriptive and exploratory research, giving support to the study case in its analysis, interpretation and evaluation of the Happy Child Project. Therefore, in its first action we get acquainted with the Calvinist Cosmovision fundaments linked to social action and its application. The second action shows the relevance and viability of Social Projects for the Presbyterian churches in today s social context, as a social action practice for both the local church and society. The third action analyzes and evaluates both the collected data and reports in the Happy Child Case Study, through evaluation procedures suggested by the Social Projects Evaluation Manual, by Eduardo Marino, from the Ayrton Senna Institute. This way, it is pointed out that the Calvinist Cosmovision is anchored in the concept of creation, fall and redemption of man, pointing out to the church s wholly mission and social action, since man was made into God s image and resemblance, where the major objective is the glory of God manifested in everything and everyone. It is recognized the relevance and viability of Social Projects in Presbyterian churches as a way of legitimating the integral mission in the process of evangelization, as an expression of love to others and as manifestation of God s sovereign will in redeeming the fallen man in all areas of his life. It is highlighted that the pedagogical practice must guide and permeate all social projects in their making, implementation and operation, as well as all social and educative actions aiming at experience fields still left out in our society. Thus, by taking these actions, it is considered plausible and relevant the use of the Calvinist Cosmovision of Social Action for Social Projects and its protagonists in Vila Buenos Aires Presbyterian Church for today s social context.

Condiciones extremas de calor, humedad e incidencia solar exigen la elaboración de estrategias para crear espacios que promocionen abrigo e conforto eficientes. El previo conocimiento de soluciones arquitectónicas y de las técnicas constructivas que las hicieron posibles, aliadas a la familiaridad con los principios de la industrialización de la construcción y con la temática de la vivienda, fueran cuestiones presentes en el enfrentamiento del proyecto de la Vila Serra del Navío, en Amapá, por parte de Oswaldo A. Bratke. Las condiciones extremas de aislamiento, las particulares condiciones climáticas e ambientales de la selva amazónica, la cultura y los hábitos de las populaciones locales han sido determinantes en la adopción de decisiones proyectuales – pensadas simultáneamente a procesos de producción y de construcción de todo el ambiente construido. La presente tesina sobre el proyecto y la obra de Vila Serra do Navío de Oswaldo Bratke es un intento de desvelar la naturaleza de las soluciones proyectuales y constructivas presentes en sus reflexiones y en su práctica del oficio, y que le condujeron a establecer una rara unidad entre la Arquitectura y la Construcción.

A adoção é um assunto de extrema importância para a sociedade e foi consagrada constitucionalmente nos parágrafos 5º e 6º, do artigo 227 da Constituição Federal, que, inclusive, proibiu quaisquer discriminações relativas à filiação. O tema será abordado sob o prisma da ética e do princípio da paternidade responsável, ambos de extrema importância no implemento da adoção, no sentido de assegurar os direitos e garantias fundamentais da criança e do adolescente. Diversos casos, diariamente, são julgados por magistrados que com sua vasta experiência tendem a preponderar na aplicação das leis, a efetividade dos princípios nos casos concretos, embora diferentes entre si. Apesar de uma única legislação, uma interpretação que pode funcionar e ser a solução em um caso, pode não ser a de outro, devido as particularidades e as dificuldades de cada caso. Por isso, é importante o estudo de casos, analisar os julgados, para assim, ter uma melhor compreensão e aprendizado. Conclui-se que em todos os casos o interesse do menor sempre deve ser priorizado, aplicando-se o princípio do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente, de modo que, deverá encontrar uma família que se sinta bem acolhido.

O mundo está vivenciando o começo da Quarta Revolução Industrial, onde equipamentos e ferramentais inovadores passarão a ocupar as áreas de produção, além de outros departamentos, formando a Indústria 4.0. Processo que, certamente, transformará a relação trabalhista, a partir do momento que haverá uma drástica redução da mão de obra disponível, sendo que só serão absorvidas a parcela que estiver qualificada. Além disso, as jornadas, os locais e as formas de trabalho também passarão por uma adequação ao novo perfil industrial, o que, consequentemente, já provoca a necessidade de uma adaptação das legislações e acordos trabalhistas. Enquanto países em desenvolvimento já deram importantes passos para se adaptarem a essa transformação, o Brasil apresenta o seguinte cenário: grande parte do parque industrial defasado, baixo investimento em adequação profissional e manutenção de regras trabalhistas ultrapassadas. O alerta foi dado, caso nossos governantes não tomem medidas que nos deixem o mais perto da equiparação com o mercado internacional, nossa competitividade será colocada em xeque.

This study broaches the diesel engines cylinder liners waste concepts, characterizing abrasive waste, tribo-chemical waste and scuffing, with component external factors, like adultered fuel or with high sulfur level frequently found in Brazil. It presents the modern emissioned engines and the direct causes in the cylinder liners material requirement, with the tribologic evolution of piston, piston rings and cylinder. Some concepts of cylinders internal diameter surface finish and the direct involvement in the cylinder smooth, and the blow by flux besides oil consumption. The cylinder liners are manufactured in perlitic gray casting iron, and it was compared to a bainitic gray casting iron as alternative material, in order to satisfy the modern environment laws for emissions. The experiment technical was based on a dynamometric test in a 146kw diesel engine, during 500hs, with 27,4% overpower. The liners were assembled in the engine block in an intercalated way, avoiding benefits in the cylinders closer to the water pump. After the test, the liners were dimensioned with the respective piston rings. As result, was observed that the proposal bainitic material got a better waste resistance in comparison with the perlitic material, with a better dimensional stability. The piston rings presented similar waste when applied in both materials, respecting the project original tribological pair.

The motivation for this thesis arose from a review of the literature on the subject knowledge. This topic is of interest not only of academic institutions as organizations. It is observed that knowledge has been responsible for the evolution of society. The literature review showed that factors such as knowledge as a source of power and grace influence knowledge sharing. Power and benevolence are considered as values (SCHWARTZ, 1992). Values influence behavior through attitudes (ROKEACH, 1981). Models of behavior were designed to predict human behavior. The Model of Goal-Directed Behavior (MGB) is considered a strong predictor of human behavior because it contains variables such as "desire" (TAYLOR; BAGOZZI; GAITHER, 2005). According to this model, "desire", which means the will to act, directly influences the behavior intention and therefore the behavior (PERUGINI; BAGOZZI, 2001). Thus, this study aimed to identify whether the relationship between values (self-enhancement and self-transcendence), knowledge as a source of power and attitudes better explains the desire to share knowledge than attitudes, values, and values associated with attitudes. Given the importance of knowledge sharing in academia, this thesis is devoted to the study in the academic environment, specifically with faculty researchers. This research is characterized as descriptive with quantitative approach. To achieve the objective of this research, it had been used four scales, three developed by the author: "attitudes towards knowledge sharing", "desire to share knowledge" and "knowledge as a source of power," and the scale of Schwartz (1994) Profile of Personal Values in its reduced version, known as PVQ 21. The questionnaires were made available through a website specializing in research, the access link was forwarded by e-mail, reaching 409 valid questionnaires. The scales were tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and analysis of the proposed structural model was performed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the best model to explain the desire to share knowledge was the relationship between self-transcendence values, knowledge as a source of power and attitudes. The results also showed the existence of differences of perception in terms of functional and demographic variables of respondents.

Among the many elements that decision-makers consider when engaging in strategic alliances, the corporate reputation and inter-organizational trust stand out. Using a mixed methods strategy of research, was proposed, in this study, to investigate the relationship between partner’s corporate reputation, inter-organizational trust and strategic alliance performance. Thus, this research was built in two phases: a) a main quantitative study aiming to investigating the causal relations between the constructs of partner’s corporate reputation, inter-organizational trust and strategic alliance performance and; b) a qualitative study aiming to validate the measurement model elaborated in the quantitative phase based on the theoretical framework elaborated by deduction of the explanatory propositions of the problem situation. For the conceptual model empirical test, were collected primary data about 132 alliances through interviews with their managers. The model statistical test was performed by Structural Equations Modeling (SEM), based on the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. Among the main results, this study was successful in establishing the positive effect of corporate reputation on interorganizational trust and strategic alliance performance. In addition, was found a mediating effect of interorganizational trust on the relationship between the corporate reputation and the strategic alliance performance. This study also affects the alliance management corroborating the idea that corporate reputation and interorganizational trust are elements that supplement governance mechanisms in relational contracts.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar umas das principais inovações que surgiram com o advento do novo Código de Processo Civil, notadamente a possibilidade de aplicação de medidas coercitivas atípicas no processo de execução de pagar quantia certa, o que será feito à luz dos princípios constitucionais e processuais. Em nome da efetividade da prestação jurisdicional, o referido dispositivo também conhecido por cláusula geral de efetivação das obrigações, insculpido no artigo 139, inciso IV do Código de Processo Civil, visou conferir maior autonomia e poder de criação aos magistrados, permitindo a aplicação de medidas que fogem ao binômio penhora-expropriação. Com efeito, por ser um tema recente e polêmico, ainda existe uma grande divisão entre a doutrina e a jurisprudência quanto ao binômio (i) tutela jurisdicional efetiva e (ii) garantias fundamentais do executado, razão pela qual o tema necessita grande discussão.

In this work are presented the development and results of a new method of facial recognition based on the use of individual thresholds by texture pattern and facial sub region, with applicability in biometric systems of access control in controlled environments. Among the biometric systems, facial recognition systems have certain prominence in relation to other systems, because not being intrusive. The acquisition of the facial image is made with a distance between the camera and the subject. The goal of the proposed method is to reduce the computational cost, compared to other existing methods, without prejudice for facial recognition rate. The proposed method uses a descriptor composed of four sub-descriptors, each of formed by texture patterns. Each of the sub descriptors have size defined by the number of sub regions facial. In the comparative process between descriptors, the method uses the individual thresholds of texture pattern and facial sub region. This work presents three experiments, each subdivided into specific tests. The first experiment was conducted to evaluate variations related to the use of uniform local binary patterns (LBPu2), the results obtained were used as a comparative basis for the other experiments of this work. The second experiment aimed to evaluate the proposed method for reducing the size of the standard facial descriptor LBPu2 of 59 textures. The third experiment was conducted to evaluate the proposed method based on the use of individual thresholds by texture pattern and facial sub-region, method that aims to improve the classification process of facial recognition. For the experiments was used the frontal facial images of "The Facial Recognition Technology Database" (FERET) and "FEI Face Database" (FEI) sets, with light variations, expressions and no restrictions on the use of beard, mustache or glasses. After the experiments, it was possible to observe that the proposed method reduces considerably the computational cost for the facial recognition systems, besides improving its recognition rate, surpassing the academic results already published.

Children’s behavioral signs of inattention and hyperactivity / impulsivity at the school environment may diminish the opportunities for the child to socially competently and develop appropriate learning skills. The teacher is the main agent in charge of identifying these signs and performing the necessary interventions in the classroom. The objectives of this study were: a) to develop an electronic tool (M-Learning) for teachers to identify and manage behavioral signs of inattention and hyperactivity / impulsivity of students in the classroom; B) verify indicators of possibilities of use of the tool in a classroom context. Method: The study was carried out in two phases: phase 1: development of the electronic tool M-Learning, phase 2: evaluation of the tool by a group of teachers. In the second phase, the study followed a cross-sectional design with a convenience sample composed of 13 Primary School teachers from private and public schools of the city of São Paulo. In this phase the following steps were accomplished: stage 1: class on the characterization of indicators of signs of inattention and hyperactivity / impulsivity in children, step 2: presentation of the electronic tool M-Learning and online access to it, step 3: teachers participated of a form-filling simulation in the M-Learning electronic tool, step 4: teachers evaluated the tool. The main result of the study was the development of the Electronic Tool for the "M-learning" modality. The tool consists of information about patterns of signs of inattention and hyperactivity / impulsivity incompatible with school learning patterns; Screens containing proposals for behavioral intervention for the use of the teacher in the classroom and form to be filled, also by the teacher, on the frequency of use of behavioral management proposals in the students. The results regarding the verification of indicators of possibilities of use of the tool in a classroom context of the classroom showed that there was acceptability among the teachers participating in this study. The reports from teachers indicated that it is possible to access and use the tool from mobile phones with Internet access. Conclusion: from the teachers' responses to the questionnaire, it seems that the tool has potential and will enable the transposition of printed media contents to interactive and mobile media, allowing the teacher a monitoring of the student's behavior. It is hoped that the tool will assist the teacher in the development of interventions in the school environment for the reduction of behavioral patterns of inattention and hyperactivity incompatible with learning.
