It dissertation sought to investigate the reasoning used by the Supreme Court in decisions involving the fundamental principle of freedom of expression and to compare it with the theoretical model proposed by Marcelo Neves. We conclude that the Supreme Court takes the position of the judge Hydra with strong appeal to principles arguments without compromising methodological consistency and soundness of decisions. The research followed the quantitative and qualitative forms and timeframe set as the trial date "Ellwanger case", in September 2003, up to the limit of December 31, 2013. Starting point was the hypothesis that the constitutional court has a vacillating jurisprudence on the subject, not using insurance technical arguments to provide the necessary predictability to pronouncements. To achieve the proposed objective analysis of the characteristics of State Legislative and Constitutional, successful presentation of the characteristics of judges Hydra, Hercules and Iolau was performed. Then were enrolled why freedom of expression is understood as a fundamental right, as well as theories in vogue on the restriction of the right in question. The finding that the Supreme Court judge resembles the Hydra was made by analysis of three factors: the prevailing theory of restriction on a fundamental right, the constitutionality of the restriction of message content and dynamics of limiting the disclosure of matters of collective interest.

The purpose of the present research was to understand the perspective of the administration of a small and medium-sized company on the usefulness of one of the products of an audit work: The auditor's letter of recommendation submitted to the administration. Through a descriptive and exploratory quantitative and qualitative research, an analysis of 108 letters of recommendations from 54 different companies in the state of São Paulo was carried out, companies in which had consecutive years of audit. As well as interviews with professionals in the field and administrators of small and medium-sized companies that received the letter of recommendation. For the analysis of the data collected, the Microsoft Excel tool was used. In general, it was noted that all 54 companies used some of the recommendations made by the auditors, thus regularizing many of the identified inconsistencies. In addition, it was noted that the audit of the financial statements and recommendations can be used as a management tool, through the control of activities, review of procedures, to prevent frauds, failure and inconsistencies and to help the company to get updated on changes in accounting, tax and labor regulations. Regarding compliance with the recommendations, it was observed that small and medium size companies, despite having the desire to adopt most of the recommendations and become an organized corporation, have certain limitations related to their structure and lack of resources. Finally, it was noted that small and medium size companies operate within the limits of the market in terms of resources and also that during the audit, strategy and management recommendations that may improve the processes and speed procedures of these companies are well received by the administration. Given this context, it was concluded that small and medium-sized companies generally observe the recommendations in a positive way, using good part of the recommendations for the management of their company and "filtering" recommendations that somehow do not fit the structural reality and resources of small and medium-sized enterprises.

A possibilidade de ocorrência da perempção no âmbito do processo administrativo tributário se revela à luz dos princípios constitucionais e da necessidade de estipular um mecanismo de sanção que garanta a aplicação do art. 24 da Lei nº 11.457/07 e do prazo peremptório. A problemática envolvida na positivação da perempção no âmbito administrativo permeia o cotrassenso doutrinário e jurisprudencial, cujo argumento desfavorável versa sobre a impossibilidade do curso de prazos decadenciais, prescricionais e peremptórios, no âmbito do processo administrativo fiscal; já o argumento favorável expõe a irregularidade da posição inerte da administração pública, lesando o contribuiente e ferindo os princípios constitucionais; é nesse viés que a perempção se revela como mecanismo viável para que a Administração Pública realize os atos necessários à conclusão do processo respeitando o prazo de cinco anos sob pena de extinção do crédito tributário.

O tema dessa pesquisa partiu de um processo extremamente pessoal e introspectivo. Quando tive a oportunidade de fazer intercâmbio para a Bélgica no início de 2018, tive que enfrentar meus medos, minhas inseguranças, mas que ao mesmo tempo trouxe novos aprendizados e me deu a chance de construir minha independência.O trabalho serve como um processo de reflexão que acredito que precisa ser feito, porque é impossível pensar arquitetura hoje em dia sem levar em conta a questão da identidade e o rumo que nossa sociedade está levando. Da mesma forma que eu só terei respostas vivendo, as questões levantadas só serão respondidas ao longo dos anos.

This thesis explores the domestic Interior Design produced during the twentieth century focusing in gender issues. To accomplish its proposal, this research has been separated into parts I and II: Gender & Artifacts and Gender & Space. While understanding that this is a large field of study, and concurrently aiming to contemplate several aspects related to domestic interiors under gender studies perspective, it has been established to range those two similar subjects in order to make this thesis more didactic. Therefore, in “Gender & Artifact”, objects and artifacts which assemble home decoration, as well as its relations towards production, consumption and gender have been studied; and finally, in the second part, Gender & Space, home spatial arrangement and possible gender interpretations have been considered – this is why we analyzed model houses from Brazilian architecture in the last century, aiming to provide comparisons with their contemporary foreign works.

This work aims at analyzing the character of Satan in the epic work Paradise Lost by the Puritan writer John Milton (1608-1674). More specifically, it aims at offering an answer to the question: in what manner do the traits of the serpent reflect Satan? In order to do that, the analysis was divided into parts. In the first chapter, it was presented the context of the literary production and reception of the work Paradise Lost in order to show features of this corpus and to relate them to other literary works and with its historical moment. In the second chapter, concepts of the narrative theory of Mieke Bal (1997) were applied to the protagonist so that the analysis of Satan in itself and in relation to other elements of the narrative was theoretically based. Finally, in the third chapter, based on a list of features provided by Charlesworth (2010) about the animal serpent (author's expertise), these features were related to the Milton's serpent so that one comprehends traits of the character of the serpent that together relate to Satan. This analysis is justified because many works were found about the Satan of Paradise Lost, nevertheless none whose theme was delimited in that manner. Once a narrative theory and texts from the literary criticism on Milton and of his epic poem pertinent to the current theme were chosen, it is expected that this dissertation allows the reader of Paradise Lost to acquire a more accurate view on the function of the character of Satan in the plot, particularly in the form of the tempting serpent assumed by Satan.
