O presente trabalho tem por principal objetivo analisar a questão da mentira, sua legitimação ética e moral numa perspectiva da filosofia do alemão Immanuel Kant. Para tanto desenvolvemos o conceito moral e ética na filosofia Kantiana em sua busca pela compreensão do homem e de sua razão, bem como, saber como estes conceitos estão ligados com o direito. Em seguida, apresentaremos as divergências entre os Filósofos, Immanuel Kant e Benjamim Constant, e suas divergências quando se trata de um suposto direito de mentir. Analisaremos também o tratamento dispensado pelo ordenamento jurídico processual penal brasileiro e como ele lida com a questão da mentira através de uma análise doutrinária, demonstrando as diversas correntes, e da jurisprudência, ao verificar o posicionamento dos Tribunais Superiores sobre o suposto direito de mentir do réu.

The study of this project is focused in a company in the field of installation of building safety networks in the city of Santo André at ABC Paulista as follow: obtain a new supplier for its safety nets with competitive price, as well as compliance with the severe regulatory require-ments of the sector, which raised doubts with the current supplier. This need proved to be a business opportunity for entrepreneurship, notwithstanding the complexity for a beginning en-trepreneur, identified by the research related to the niche of business, product, market, supplier identification with quality certification and other regulatory requirements. This challenge led to the creation of a new company named CLOSED Protection Networks, which focuses its energies on the importation, manufacture and regularization of raw material for the installation of building protection networks, with the quality certification required by Brazilian standards, which is rare among the importers, being an innovation in this activity. The whole process of constitution of the new company involved studies under the most different aspects such as: tax, contractual and business modality. We also considered the competitive forces, strategic alli-ances and risk analysis related to the difficulties identified in the solution adopted. The business has proved to be fully feasible since its planning and its applicability has already been con-firmed since the company is already in effect and has already made its first import and is already winning new customers.

The proposal of this study is to present and discuss issues related to the apparent paradox of constitutional democracy demonstrated by Frank Michelman. Based on Post's ( procedural democracy ) and Dworkin's ( democracy as a right ) ideas, Michelman seeks to demonstrate the "paradox of constitutional democracy", i.e., on the one hand, for the procedural view, it is stated that there won't be a democracy if the contents of the basic law can not be decided by the people and, second, it seeks to withdraw from the political decisionmaking process the content of a democratic regime. Those Michelman's studies brought a huge impact on constitutional doctrine and made Jünger Habermas pronounce himself about this issue. Habermas, analyzed the main ideas presented by Michelman and demonstrated that, in fact, these are complementary notions, not a paradox. This interesting debate between Habermas and Michelman brought a big impact for democracies that, created by a Constitution, established limits on popular sovereignty, which, according to Michelman, would be undemocratic, a paradox.

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.
