In a context of accelerated digital transformation, where the future of lawyers has been questioned, due to the creation and improvement of robots and artificial intelligence linked to the legal world, it has become essential to rethink the lawyer's performance and his professional positioning in relation to the client’s needs. In any activity, public or private businesses, law firms or any other type of organization, the legal professional is considered as a "necessary evil", prepotent and bureaucratic and, consequently, this be-havior reduces the demand for legal services. For that reason, we have analyzed the needs and desires of the main stakeholders of the legal relationship in order to propose an inno-vative solution that creates value for the entire relationship chain, improving and greater proximity of the lawyer and his clients, in a less bureaucratic environment and with better conditions to provide legal services. Therefore, was analyzed the needs and desires of the main stakeholders of the legal relationship in order to propose an innovative solution that creates value for the entire relationship chain, providing the improvement and greater proximity of the lawyer and his clients, in a less bureaucratic environment and with better conditions to provide legal services. The study has setup a management legal course for lawyers or law graduates, using an innovative method, games/gamification on digital plat-forms to engage and fix the theoretical content. Due to its versatility and applicability is evident in the fact that it can be taught at a distance, in person or in a mixed way. Despite the complexities of the platform, it is believed that this methodology will be considered transformative in the academic environment of law.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o benefício de prestação continuada (BPC), a evolução jurisprudencial dispensada ao § 3º, do art. 20, da Lei n. 8.742/1993 (“renda per capita familiar inferior a um quarto do salário mínimo”) e a consequência de os julgadores arbitrarem, diante do caso concreto, a miserabilidade. De forma ampla, inicialmente é exposto o sistema da Seguridade Social e seus respectivos desdobramentos, quais sejam: saúde, previdência e assistência. Busca-se a compreensão do sistema, para então restringir-se a parte de um todo. No segundo capítulo, a análise versou sobre o Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC) instituído pela Lei n. 8.742/1993, norma infraconstitucional regulamentadora dos objetivos traçados no art. 203, V, da Constituição Federal de 1988. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo foram apresentados alguns precedentes jurisprudenciais provenientes do STF e STJ com o objetivo de demonstrar a construção hermenêutica dispensado para o tema “renda per capita familiar” para fins de concessão do BPC e a atual insegurança jurídica gerada após o amplo poder concedido aos julgadores.

This study aims to check whether there is or not relationship between the constructs Innovation and Competitive Intelligence. Innovation, characterized by being a strategic element between organizations in order to economically develop a company, has been developed as a study object for a long time. Unlike the other theme studied, Competitive Intelligence, which can be defined as a strategic activity of collecting and analyzing information. Since the volume of data and information provided in the competitive environment of any business is growing every day, it becomes important for companies to know how to deal with these informational challenges, Competitive Intelligence is one of these helper methods in this case. The study had as methodological proposal a single case study of exploratory nature, using qualitative research. The object of study was a company in the cosmetics sector in Brazil in the city of Osasco - SP. In order to guide the present study, we adopted three specific objectives: (i) determine whether and how the company studied practices innovation, what is its type and form; (Ii) determine whether and how the company studied uses the Competitive Intelligence; and (iii) verify how the relationship between Innovation and Competitive Intelligence is. The instrument used was a guided interview previously prepared by the author based on the theoretical framework developed. Thus, six interviews were conducted, in which all were fully transcribed. For analysis of the interviews, the content analysis technique was used. The results indicate: the existence of a relationship between Innovation and Competitive Intelligence, being the main relationship and making Competitive Intelligence a precedent of innovation processes. It was identified in single case study the existence of three types of innovation: product; organizational; marketing. Another relevant discovery in the case study was to identify significant indications of well-structured IC activity, despite the absence of a specific sector or program of IC in the studied organization.

The Williams Syndrome (WS) is a disease caused by a deletion in the long arm of chromosome 7 in the region q11.23. Individuals with the syndrome have specific characteristics that interfere in school and social adaptive functioning. Early interventions that require training focused in these areas are recommended for this group. The study’s objective is to evaluate the impact of multimodal program a phonological training and management of behavioral patterns of inattention and hyperactivity/ impulsiveness of a group of children with Williams syndrome. They participated four children with diagnostic confirmation for the syndrome, four mothers and four teachers of their children, totaling 12 participants. The data collection instruments were: a) Phonological Awareness Test by Oral Production (PAT-OP); b) The Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6-18 and the Teacher’s Report Form for Ages 6-18 (CBCL-6/18 and TRF 6/18); c) Parental Style Inventory (PSI); d) observation Registration behavior problems and appropriate behavior in the classroom; e) Questionnaire for verifying general knowledge of teachers; f) Evaluation of literacy level by the application of words and false Word Reading Competence Test (WRCT) and the Brazil Little Test. The study was developed in four phases: Phase I: Initial evaluation; Phase II: Implementation of the training program for teachers and parents (guide as to behavioral management) and phonological awareness training of children; Phase III: post-intervention evaluation; Phase IV: a segment after six months after the end of the intervention. In the principal results of the assessment of internalizing, externalizing and total problems between phases 1 and 4 of CBCL-6/18, C1 shown a decrease of emotional difficulties and behavioral problems indicators. The results of TRF-6/18 indicated that, although there was also improved, it was not homogeneous. In the total scores of PAT-OP, C1 and C2 obtained a better score in phases 2 and 4. C3 and C4 best score obtained in phases 2, 3, but the phase 4 was better for phase 2. The results obtained by standardizing the WRCT test were different as each child. In conclusion, that the training programs used to make the group of parents and teachers were viable in terms of deployment possibilities. The programs had a positive impact on the acquisition of adaptive behavior and improvement in children’s behavioral difficulties. However, in the familiar and educational context it was verified that in the intervention of these four children was an inconstant use of the orientations and neither all strategies were adopted systematically by the mothers during the study period. Increasing in indicators of phonologic awareness were verified from the performance in rhyme and syllable synthesis tasks. Another data referent to writing and reading competence also indicated that the children who received PA training presented in the study’s last phase skills indicators to decode false words, to varying degrees. The performance of participants C2, C3 and C4 in relation to C1 it was superior in the Brazil Little Test.

Introduction: The presence of intestinal metaplasia in the distal esophagus (Barrett's esophagus) is an important precursor of adenocarcinoma. Knowledge of the risk factors and the process by which the Barrett develops is very importance and H.pylori can contribute to this development. Objective: To analyze the impact of H. pylori in the gastric mucosa of intestinal metaplasia in the distal esophagus in areas of columnar epithelialization smaller than 10 mm in length, stratified for gender and age. Method: A retrospective study in which were included 373 consecutive patients diagnosed with columnar epithelium in the distal esophagus. In all it was searched the H.pylori by two methods (urease and histology) and applied the inclusion and exclusion factors. It is divided into two groups: the first adding patients without histological diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus (235-63%) and the second comprising the histologically diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus (138-37%). Results: There was no significant difference between the carriers of H. pylori or not in relation to the likelihood of having intestinal metaplasia (p = 0.587). When related to the general group, there was an inverse association between the bacteria and the columnar epithelialization in the distal esophagus. Age (p = 0.031), gender (p = 0.013) and H. pylori (p = 0.613) when connected together to intestinal metaplasia showed no significant relationship. In isolation; when related age and gender, regardless of H. pylori emerged results confirming that older patients and women have a higher incidence of intestinal metaplasia (Barrett's esophagus). Conclusion: The presence or absence of intestinal metaplasia of distal esophagus when related to H. pylori in the gastric mucosa, is not significant. In relation to age and gender, regardless of H.pylori, we note that in women and the greater the age of the individuals, there is an increase in the number of cases with intestinal metaplasia in the distal esophagus.

“Das coisas menos importantes, a mais importante”. A ilustre frase de Arrigo Sacchi, técnico da seleção italiana na Copa do Mundo de 1994, nunca foi tão significativa quanto neste momento. O futebol brasileiro respira por aparelhos, ao mesmo tempo que o mundo presencia as maiores e mais absurdas transferências da história. Os valores que rodeiam o futebol passaram a um patamar jamais imaginado em tempos de outrora, quando jogadores alinhavam o esporte com profissões variadas em suas rotinas. Hoje, dentro do ambiente futebolístico, temos direitos de imagem, bilheteria, transferências, cotas televisivas e salários exorbitantes. Chegamos a um momento crucial no desenvolvimento desportivo e cultural dentro do esporte mais jogado no mundo, no país que mais vezes venceu a Copa do Mundo. Os clubes de futebol brasileiros, hoje em dia, estão engessados em associações sem fins lucrativos, com dirigentes eleitos politicamente, administrando quantidades muitas vezes absurdas de dinheiro, apenas por amor às tão tradicionais agremiações. Os objetivos deste trabalho são de mapear as possibilidades de diferentes tipos de personalidade jurídica para os clubes de futebol, possibilitando uma ampliação significativa no profissionalismo e, consequentemente, no âmbito esportivo. O direcionamento desta pesquisa é o de demonstrar quais serão as vantagens e consequências da adaptação de personalidade jurídica, aprofundando nos aspectos societários, com o objetivo de demonstrar o atraso que vivemos nesta área e o como é possível evoluir, transformando o futebol em um negócio verdadeiramente rentável e importante para o país.

The theme of the present master s dissertation stems from the interest in the character and in the work of the German architect Walter Gropius (1883-1969) and it focuses on his coming to Brazil in January of 1954, when he participated in the Exposição Internacional de Arquitetura (event which was part of the II Bienal Internacional de Artes de São Paulo which coincided with the celebrations of the IV Centennial of the city s foundation), he got São Paulo s architecture award, in his first and unique edition he delivered an inaugural speech in the IV Congresso Brasileiro de Arquitetos and visited Rio de Janeiro and Petrópolis. In order to do so, archives of Fundação Bienal and publications and period periodicals were consulted, besides the relevant bibliography. Additional and fundamental information about the IV Congresso Brasileiro de Arquitetos were also recovered directly from the archives kept by the Paulista section of Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil (IAB-SP). Hence, some valuable information were also recovered about the presence of Gropius in Brazil, aiming at complementing the barely spread content about this constant happening in the existing historiography, discussing frictions and proximities within the period in which Walter Gropius was in Brazil.

The quality of life at work has been studied from different theoretical and methodological approaches, but always focused on understanding ways to bring satisfaction and well-being at worker. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life and job satisfaction of people with disabilities included in employment programs. We sought to analyze the relationships between the dimensions of job satisfaction and quality of life domains. Adopting a quantitative approach, was used two questionnaires: Quality of Life Index (QLI) by Ferrans and Powers and Job SatisfactionQuestionnaireS20/23byMeliáandPeiro. 15 individuals with physical disabilities were assessed. The results showed that the average total quality of life index of the participants was 18.06(SD = 1.88), with scores ranging between13.30and21.26, the rating for the quality levels of the group presented a good quality. The mean total questionnaireS20/23 participants was 4.03(SD = 0.86), with scores ranging between 2.30 and 5.00 for job satisfaction, compared with the scale to the levels of satisfaction, the group showed a partial job satisfaction. When comparing the total score of the QLI and its domains with the total score of the questionnaire and its dimensions S20/23 results showed no correlations between its components. It is believed that these findings may stimulate research involving this issue and the results used as the basis for the development of a culture of improving the quality of life and job satisfaction of people with disabilities.

This work aimed to analyze declared organizational values and how shared they were in a chosen company named SIGMA. Delphi method was applied to identify employees preferences towards declared organizational values, so that a hierarchy was created. This group of values, organized as a hierarchy was compared with the organizational shared values obtained towards the use of another research tool. The results of this same instrument indicated four factors that could represent all eleven SIGMA s values. Those factors were also analyzed and compared with the Inventory of Profiles of Organizational Values (IPVO) results. Was concluded that researches could use the comparison between both hierarchies to define which group of values is really meaningful for the organization. As a suggestion, further studies should use a larger group for inventory responses so results could really represent the full group of employees. For company uses, this research could help values analyses in a daily basis with Delphi method application.
