Appealing to Louis Althuuser, french philosopher and teacher at the "École Normale Supérieure", we find an analysis of the marxist s theory and its relation with the law and the State s figure. With the approach in to the marxists traditions, searching for the real influences that deeply marked Marx, Althusser will find more in Feuerbach than in Hegel his raises, because the basic structures of the Hegelian and Marxist dialectic are essentially different. If by a side, the Hegel's idealist philosophy see the world as the realization of Absolute Spirit, at the Marxist analysis the economic base and superstructure (political and ideological practice) form a complex social whole, where the economic structure is determinant in the last instance. Althusser´s view of science and ideology was created in his rereading of the classic Marxian texts, wich inspired him to proclaim a epistemological break between the earlier (pre-1845) and mature writings of Marx. The inclusion of the law and another support s institutions in the superstructure guide a possible law s theory, based in a society wich reflects a historical process without a subject.

This research aims to verify the causality relationship between gamification and productivity in the context of software development. In order to achieve this, the two concepts were studied in the definition of seminal authors, who were confronted with more recent works in the search for a consistent definition of productivity and to find elements of gamification that could produce productivity at work. It was then hypothesized that gamification can significantly increase productivity (H1), as well as the hypothesis that certain profiles of professionals may have different reactions to gamification (H2). To verify these hypotheses, an experiment was carried out in a software development company during 149 days, in the first half of 2017, with 6 groups of professionals being compared speed and quality data (partial productivity) before and after applying a gamification focused on productivity, generating a total of 530 records collected. As a result, in four out of six groups (66.6%) a significant increase in productivity was observed, confirming the H1 hypothesis. Regarding the hypothesis H2, it was possible to verify the presence of profiles propitious to be gamified classified as "Achievers" and "Players".

The present research aimed to investigate the form of control of public administration conceived as social control through a study of multiple cases, as it has been developed in the Brazilian State after the promulgation of the Constitution of 1988. Social Observatory of Brazil (OSB) and Friends of Ribeirão Bonito Associates (AMARRIBO Brazil) were the nongovernmental organizations and networks of control and supervision of public management which were chosen for the case study. The case study involved a qualitative and descriptive analysis of the actions developed by both civil society organizations, selected by their contribution to the strengthening of social control in our country, which enabled a more comprehensive basis for study. The main techniques used for the collecting of the study data were the use of documentary sources, semi-structured interviews with those who played a key role in the study and observations, aided by the analysis of the contents obtained by the incursion into the entities websites. The study was based on the analysis of the constitutional and infra-constitutional discipline about the possibilities of exercising social control, in contrast to bibliographical and jurisprudential research on the subject. The research theoretical framework was obtained by the analysis of contemporary theories about democracy and social participation, highlighting the role and initiatives of the social sphere that is called civil society, as well as the theoretical foundations of the public administration control, seeking possible answers to the problems of the research, from a critical analysis. It was found that the studied organizations seek to develop practices consistent with the statutory objectives through their voluntary actions, but endowed with high professionalism, finding limits only on the small number of social actors involved and on available financial resources. The case study also made it possible to see that the Brazilian legal system provides skilled instruments to allow the exercise of the right to participation and social control, lacking, however, on the one hand the urgent implementation by the entities and their responsible public officials and on the other, the interests of the holders of these rights, the citizens, individually and collectively, to require those rights and exercise them.

Great attention has been dedicated to knowledge administration thematic in the last years. Articles and books have been published and companies have been increasing the investments in that study field, that presents multidisciplinary relationship with other themes, such as information, human resources administration and organizational behavior systems. Inserted in an environment of competition and competitiveness, great companies coexist with the constant variation of the demand for their products, turning essential the existence of a daily activity foreseeing future situations, in order to maximize the outcome and to provide value to the business. Such an activity is situated in a field of study which goes by the area of marketing and production planning. In this sense, the objective of this study was to list the knowledge management, under a Processual perspective, in the demand planning activity, in an exploratory nature research carried out in five different companies, pertaining companies to five different sectors, characterized as a multi-case case study. The evidences were acquired by means of interviews, observation and document analysis, where content analysis was employed for analyzing and interpreting data. The outcome revealed the presence of elements having explicit, tacit and cultural knowledge in the demand planning activity: information technology tools the and documents, experience of professionals, means for transferring knowledge, collective interaction, social relationships and corporative vision what directs the business. In addition, the creation, transfer, storage and knowledge use processes were also considered as an outcome of the research, standing out the different formal meetings scheduled for knowledge exchange and the "knowledge combination" element, characterized by the interaction among the people during the process of knowledge creation and proposed in the Socialization, Externalization, Combination and Internalization process.

Through a graphical interpretation, the building’s changes are represented in two different residential sets, since their construction until today: Modernist Village, designed by Flávio de Carvalho, between 1936 and 39 and the Boulevard Olga, with italian neoclassical features, built in the first decades of the 20th century, both in the city of São Paulo. To study occurrences during this period, is adopted a methodology to compile and select significant iconographic material, available in printed and digital sources. Those are converted to images through drawing language, made by the author of this research and later published as graphic pieces. The images aims to register basically two periods that marked the original and current state of Modernist Village and Olga Alley. Over 80 years, the two cases were the subject of interventions of vernacular character, a recurring phenomenon, which occurs in buildings, to meet occasional needs or adaptation of their spaces in the change of use. As a result, it is proposed a confrontation between both cases, to see the contradictions, loss of meaning and the antagonism that set them apart in their original settings, as well as the transformations that disqualify its conceptual purposes, creating, ironically, an identity between the two cases, to reveal the underlying elements veiled in everyday life. For perception of these particularities, it was adopted a methodology that uses drawing as a way to understand the problem of visual and comparative way in this period, the various interventions that occurred in that context, reinforcing the process chart the dialectic of emphasis and exclusion.

Subject: Improvement in software change agility with adoption of management models and technology architecture. Application: This work presented a proposal to address problems in agility in software changes of the MDN bank (fictitious name), identified from the analysis of performance indicators and compared to large technology companies. Based on these indicators, it was found that there is a time-related problem to launch a new version of internet banking and mobile app for "legal entity" customers. Innovation: The solution adopted suggests, as a strategy, the innovation in processes incre-mentally, with the application of models adapted from agile. A proposal was elaborated, ob-serving the resources and capabilities necessary to s, the action plan and the implementation of the proposal to solve this problem through the adoption of agile practices and DevOps, including the modernization of the application architecture. Impact: The solution adopted has been increasing the speed of software delivery, reducing the waiting time to launch new features, and promoting greater competitiveness of MDN bank in its market. From this context is that this work contributes to meeting the expectations of the or-ganization. Thus, it is expected that the model presented, is replicated in other areas of tech-nology of the MDN bank. Complexity: Dealing with the area of technology of large organizations, as occurs in MDN brings a challenge due to the complexity of the relationships between the areas of develop-ment and operations, so there is a need for new ways of managing the process. Another criti-cal factor for success is the choice of what is effectively to modernize. Part of the develop-ment of this work took place over the COVID-19 crisis. Considering that the analyzed scenar-ios would not change significantly, it was understood to continue with work with teams and management remotely. In this sense, the creation and improvement of strategies to solve the problem, started from the recognition and understanding of values identified under the com-pany's strategy. Applied Methodology: The methodology for practical and applied work (PSPE/AO) of Mar-condes, Miguel, Franklin and Perez (2017) was used, with the use of interviews, the VRIO Model, Impact Grid Analysis, Value Chain Analysis, the SWOT Matrix.

The aim of this study is to identify the factors in determining credit for companies in judicial or extrajudicial rehabilitation or which are undergoing a period of financial crisis. This research is particularly relevant in the current scenario where the number of companies opting for the rehabilitation process is constantly increasing. Several causes can be attributed to companies showing poor performances and facing subsequent financial crises either as a result of internal factors or external ones. The lack of competent managerial decision-making, adoption of consistent strategies, poor management of the company's cash, among many other factors, cause loss of income and lowering of credit rating, thus leading to credit restrictions by commercial banks. Faced with this financial crisis, some companies end up taking advantage of the benefits provided by Statue 11.101/05 and opting for bankruptcy protection. Given the scarcity of credit, companies turn to factoring and FIDC, through which assignment of receivables helps to meet the need for raising funds and maintaining company operations. In this context, the present research proposes a study of the determining factors in granting credit to businesses in rehabilitation (turnaround), given the assumption of disparity between financial statements and the need for credit to keep the company going during the period of recovery from the crisis. The theoretical framework bases the survey on the causes of the financial crisis, followed by factoring, FIDC, securitization, Statute 11.101/05, the American Bankruptcy Code, credit and the role of trust. Qualitative, exploratory research was conducted at companies in the city and state of São Paulo. The results indicate two main trends in the credit-granting process; (i) the adoption of an agent who builds confidence and lowers the perceived risk for the funding entity; and (ii) the search for a partner to finance the company during the formal or informal rehabilitation process.
