The article examines the idea of Europe conceived by Stefan Zweig and Hermann Ullmann in the similarly titled books about Brazil written in the late 1930s and early 1940s. In the political context between the great wars marked by the rise of Nazism, the question is posed regarding to what extent Europe continues to serve as a model of civilization and what the critical dimension is that is expressed in concepts reversing the roles of Europe and Brazil. One detects a partial rupture with dichotomous and hierarchical viewpoints about the relationship between the Old World and the New World, and new forms of relationship between these regions within the worldwide context are suggested.

Diversity is a very complex and controversial issue. It embraces the so-called "minorities", not in numerical terms but in terms of power. The groups that compose the minorities are the black, the disabled, women and the indigenous, among others. Although there are advances in this discussion, including in the legislation field, there are still gaps when it comes to employment for these minorities. For this paper, we chose, among the minorities, people with disabilities (PWDs), because according to the International Labor Organization (2010), they represent 10% of the world's population, among which approximately 72% are at the working age. The objective of this paper was to understand the identity dynamics of PWDs inserted in work organizations, located in Brazil and in the United States. To this end, we elaborated a theoretical framework mainly based on the identity from a sociological approach by Dubar (2005). We opted for an exploratory and qualitative research, based on an interpretive approach. The techniques of data collection used were semi-structured interviews and documentary research. Interviews were conducted with twelve PWDs in Brazil and eight in the United States, men and women. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed through content analysis. In both countries the jobs of the interviewed PWDs appeared as an important tool to give meaning to their lives. Moreover, one of the main obstacles faced by the interviewed PWD with regard to employment was the disability itself. Thus, it was possible to notice a conflict between who they are and whom they think they should be in order to work. It was observed that the individual's identity is a result of the movements of construction and reconstruction of his or her (many) identities and that one cannot identify oneself only with one's eyes; instead, they need to see through someone else's eyes.

This paper reports the results of a study that sought to reflect, based on two cases, upon opportunities and challenges, possibilities and limits, for the insertion of small business ventures -- new ventures and micro and small enterprises -- in the productive field that became known, especially after the Rio Conference 92, as green economy. The search for clean technologies has become a great challenge and at the same time, a great business opportunity. The possibilities were opened up for large companies, able to mobilize the necessary resources for this transition. The limits were evident for small businesses. Evidence has been pointing out the necessity of developing instruments, particularly on public policies, able to offer support to small businesses so that they can overcome their limits. The focus of the study was precisely on this point: the experience of two incubators, one American and another Brazilian, specialized in supporting small businesses oriented to the markets of clean technologies. Qualitative in the method and with exploratory purposes, the research was designed as a multiple case study (based on two cases), having the documentary research as strategy for data collection. Supported by the literature of environmental management (with emphasis on small businesses with clean technologies) and business incubators (with greater emphasis on the typology of incubators), the research revealed a large gap between the realities of the two countries, either in numbers of incubators within the field of clean technologies, or in the mobilization of institutional actors who act in support of these incubators. Based on the two case studies it was possible to identify a single strategic affinity between the two incubators and a set of dichotomous elements, both strategically and in terms of management. In view of these findings, as conclusions of the paper, some suggestions are pointed out for the Brazilian movement of incubators in the will to incorporate environmental elements into their strategies and their management systems.

In the United States, Reader's Digest was a major contributor to the mobilization of World War II, mobilizing American women to work in the industry and advocating that men should go to the front, articulating later also the demobilization of women and their return to their homes. In the Brazilian context, Seleções do Reader's Digest - working with a US material selection - also contributed to the different ways which gender roles during the conflict years were presented to Brazilian readers along the lines of the policies implemented in the United States. Therefore, the focus of this paper will be on how these roles were articulated in both countries, between 1941 and 1945, based on articles published by both periodicals. Taking as a theoretical perspective the Gender Studies, especially the biases established by scholars such as Susan Hartmann and Joanne Meyerowitz, and focusing on the concept of representation, as conceived by Roger Chartier, the work aims to list possible differences regarding the call for women, pointing out the different ways in which they participated in the war effort, either at homefront or on the battlefield.

The purpose of this paper is to present the first stage of the United States film industry, called the Golden Age of Hollywood, from its founding until its crisis in the late 1940s. The proposal here is to describe how it was born, who were the fathers, and how it developed into the largest entertainment factory in the world. It is important to realize that the existence of Hollywood and its mode of production greatly affected not only mass communication but global politics in the first half of the last century. The studios located on the west coast of America are an important focus of attention to understand the development of Western culture in the last century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines practices of bearing witness and testimony that have arisen in response to the continuing migrant deaths in the southwestern deserts of the United States. I suggest that these practices can be considered a kind of resistance in that they restore the humanity to those who have perished and in doing so acknowledge that our contemporary bordered world harbors the spirits of those of have travelled he dangerous paths created by visible and invisible boundaries. The hope for more humane policies depends upon such an acknowledgement and keeping them alive in the public memory is key to promoting change. This paper also argues for a broad conceptualization of what it means to witness and provide testimony. The practices examined range from telling migrants' stories, to providing humanitarian aid, to practices of identifying the remains of migrants who have died and thus restoring their identity.

The Independent or External Auditing is the branch of Accounting which copes with the examination of financial accounts to check their accuracy. The final objective is the issuing of an Auditor's Report, which is a written attestation as to the fairness of presentation of financial statements in conformity with the regulatory and legal framework the company is inserted in. The auditor's opinion is mainly destined to the external stakeholders, who base their investment decision process in the document. In its turn, the internal auditing is focused in an entity's internal environment and the resulting report issues opinion about the conformity with internal regulations and procedures as well as external regulations and legal framework. It is of paramount importance that the auditor exercises its best judgment in the execution of a thorough examination of the internal controls of the subject company. On the other hand, the internal controls are a body of rules designed to protect an entity's estate. It is known that the assessment procedures of the internal controls has undergone extraordinary changes, experiencing a broader extensiveness in view of the perception of new risks and general complexity of the markets, in all areas, stemming from the massive use of automation, which makes new demands of professionalism for controls assessment on the part of the auditors. This paper intends to review the development of the assessment procedures of an organization's internal controls. In the final part the paper suggests a information so as to give support to the assessment of the quality of an entity's internal controls and tries to detect the new demands to Auditing, which has been introduced by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In the sphere of International Political Economy the concept of hegemony has been discussed by various authors almost always taking as a starting point the turbulent 1970s, which seemed to set the decline of the United States as world power. The global crisis of 2008-2009 has been reliving the theme. The aim of this paper is to analyze the concept of hegemony and question whether the United States is still hegemonic within the world system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at examining the representation of a differentiated education project school, a school model, teacher and student from Anísio Teixeira's trip report, product of his observations and studies in North American's school. In 1927, when Anísio was general director of Bahia's public education he had been designated, by Francisco Marques de Góes Calmon to go to USA to observe American's education method and their institution education which could be implanted in similar way in Bahia's school. Considering the goal of the text, firstly I'm going to work work on Anísio Teixeira's trip report detaching his production goal, organization, physic character, materials and reasons of its circulation. Secondly, I'll reflect on his written production, in the way to comprehend education model representation considered ideal, of school, of teacher and student that were related to ideals of new education. As a research result, an observation work, report was produced as an intentionality and to be publicized. Anísio intended to share experiences, to valorize, to affirm, to project, to diffuse education model initiatives. He shows education transformations and a new scholar culture worldwide shared. Anísio brings out - in his point of view - characters of scholar space, educational methods, scholar programs, modes of being a teacher and a student in that moment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the United States, radio erosion in younger audiences is already measured, but this research is still to be done in Portugal. In this paper we intend to show, by official data, that this erosion is also observed, linking it with the digital reality. In other words, if it is true that the crisis of the radio started before the arrival of the Internet, it is also true that this digitalization is leading to a divorce between youth and radio.
