The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed a new order, another rhythm for humanity. Our daily life has changed and the school has tried to resign itself. The goal of this paper is to present some challenges and possibilities of education in times of pandemic and to raise dialogues and reflections on remote education, distance education, online education and on the potentialities of the use of networked digital technologies for the formation of critical, creative, autonomous, authoring people, in a time when the exercise of citizenship is imposed. We consider that information and communication technologies, virtual learning platforms, social networks should be seen as propelling the creation of new relationships with information, with time, with space, with oneself and with others. More than ever, education is called to singularize itself, to reinvent itself seeking other possibilities through the use of digital technologies and housing in virtual learning environments. The paper also presents the experience of online courses of Youth Center for Science and Culture of Vitória da Conquista-Bahia, a public school of complementary education linked to Bahia Department of Education., A pandemia de COVID-19 impôs uma nova ordem, um outro ritmo para a humanidade. O nosso cotidiano mudou e a escola tem tentado se ressignificar. A proposta deste artigo é apresentar alguns desafios e possibilidades da educação em tempos de pandemia e suscitar diálogos e reflexões sobre ensino remoto, educação a distância, educação online e sobre as potencialidades do uso das tecnologias digitais em rede para a formação de pessoas críticas, criativas, autônomas, autoras, em um tempo que o exercício da cidadania se impõe. Consideramos que as tecnologias da informação e comunicação, as plataformas virtuais de aprendizagem, as redes sociais devem ser vistos como propulsores da criação de novas relações com a informação, com o tempo, com o espaço, consigo mesmo e com os outros. Em tempos de pandemia, mais do que nunca, a educação é convocada a se singularizar, a se reinventar buscando outras possibilidades pelo uso das tecnologias digitais e pela habitação nos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem. O artigo apresenta, também, a experiência dos cursos online do Centro Juvenil de Ciência e Cultura de Vitória da Conquista-Bahia, escola pública de educação complementar vinculada à Secretaria de Educação do Estado Bahia.

Perforated cardboard is a rigid material widely used during the second half of the 19th century as an embroidery support, but very little-known today. Intervention cases are rare, and so an intervention on a poor condition 1879 glass beads embroidered specimen is presented here. The intervention was a complex task, mainly due to the fragility of the object and the existence of different materials linked to each other, that did not allow the execution of treatments to which they are usually subjected when isolated. The most intricate operation was the simultaneous action of micro-consolidation and micro-infill. These involved the insertion of Japanese paper fibres and 4 % Tylose MH300 between the perforated paper layers, and the insertion of Japanese paper strips between the embroidery lines. For the embroidery housing, it was necessary simultaneously to avoid the most unfavourable conditions for both the preservation of the glass and the paper.

Os casos de intervenção são raros e, por isso, apresenta-se aqui a intervenção de um exemplar bordado com missangas de vidro, de 1879, que se encontrava em mau estado de conservação. A intervenção foi complexa, sobretudo devido à fragilidade da obra e à existência de diferentes materiais ligados entre si que não permitiam os tratamentos a que estes são habitualmente sujeitos quando isolados. A operação mais complexa foi a acção simultânea de microconsolidação e micropreenchimento que envolveu a inserção de fibras de papel japonês e Tylose MH300 a 4 % entre as camadas do papel perfurado e a inserção de tiras de papel japonês por entre as linhas do bordado, entrelaçando-as com estas. Para o acondicionamento do bordado, foi necessário simultaneamente evitar as condições mais desfavoráveis para a conservação do vidro e do papel.

Este trabalho é parte de minha pesquisa de pós-doutoramento, realizada de março de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020, que teve por objetivo investigar aspectos relacionados ao ensino-aprendizagem de resumos acadêmicos. Neste artigo, daremos ênfase à discussão dos resultados dos testes de usabilidade do software “AutorIA”, cuja criação foi um desdobramento da referida pesquisa. Esses testes tiveram como objetivo analisar o processo de interação entre os estudantes e o computador, verificando, assim, a facilidade de uso do sistema. (CONRAD; LEVI, 2002). O aporte teórico para a elaboração do software fundamentou-se numa perspectiva híbrida: por um lado, baseamo-nos nos princípios do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo proposto por Bronckart (1999, 2006) e Cristóvão (2013), bem como sua vertente didática, nos termos de Schneuwly e Dolz (2004). Por outro lado, utilizamos aspectos da Sociorretórica de Swales (1990) e Askehave; Swales (2001), priorizando o modelo Create a Research Space (modelo CARS) e suas possíveis adaptações ao gênero resumo acadêmico.A metodologia, vinculada à Linguística Aplicada, teve uma perspectiva qualitativa de cunho interpretativista (MOREIRA; CALEFE, 2008), com a utilização de métodos empíricos. Os resultados revelaram que os estudantes, de modo geral, avaliaram positivamente a utilização do programa na produção de resumos acadêmicos, ratificando, assim, que a tecnologia pode ser um importante recurso no processo de didatização., This paper is part of my postdoctoral program, carried out from March 2019 to February 2020. It aimed to observe some aspects related to teaching-learning issues applied to academic summaries. In this paper, the discussion about the test results of the usability of the “AutorIA” software, which is an outcome of this piece of research, is emphasized. These tests intended to analyze the process related to the interaction between students and computer, checking, in this way, the ease of use of the system (CONRAD; LEVI, 2002). The theoretical support for the software development was based on a hybrid perspective: on the one hand, it was based on the principles of Sociodiscursive Interactionism proposed by Bronckart (1999, 2006) and Cristóvão (2013), as well as its didactic perspective, according to Schneuwly and Dolz (2004); on the other hand, it was gleaned from aspects of the Socio-rhetorical Theory proposed by Swales (1990) and Askehave; Swales (2001), prioritizing the “Create a Research Space Model” (CARS model) and its possible adaptations to the academic summary. The methodology, bounded to the Applied Linguistics, was based on a qualitative perspective of interpretative nature (MOREIRA; CALEFE, 2008), with an empirical methods approach. The results showed that students, in general, gave a positive feedback about the software used for producing academic summaries, demonstrating that technology proves to be an important resource in the didactization process. &nbsp

The gestational period is not an infection problem that affects maternal and fetal health. There are risks of developing infectious diseases transmitted vertically, which can lead to several problems in the development and vitality of the future concept. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of infectious diseases in pregnant women submitted to prenatal screening, using the filter paper technique in the city of Aparecida de Goiânia-GO. This is a cross-sectional study of 1,328 pregnant women submitted to prenatal screening in the period from 2011 to 2016, using the filter paper technique. After confirming the positive results on the paper filter, confirmation was carried out and the frequencies found were 22.52% for syphilis, 14.23% for toxoplasmosis, 7.45% for Chagas' disease, 4.74% for hepatitis B virus (HBsAg), 3.77% for HIV virus, 1.73% for hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV), 1.05% for HTLV virus, 0.98% for cytomegalovirus and 0.15% for rubella. The importance of screening for infectious diseases with vertical transmission is not the present study, mainly due to the frequency of the number of cases, toxoplasmosis, Chagas disease and hepatitis B virus, even though it is low in comparison with other studies. Through early diagnosis, it is possible to avoid vertical transmission and/or decrease fetal impairment. KEYWORDS: Infectious diseases, Pregnant women, Prenatal care, Vertical transmission. RESUMO: O período gestacional não é isento de infecções que comprometam a saúde materno-fetal. Existem riscos do desenvolvimento de doenças infecciosas de transmissão vertical, que pode levar diversos problemas ao desenvolvimento e vitalidade do futuro concepto. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a frequência de doenças infecciosas em gestantes submetidas à triagem do pré-natal através da técnica do papel filtro na cidade de Aparecida de Goiânia–GO. Trata-se de um estudo transversal de 1.328 gestantes submetidas à triagem pré-natal no período de 2011 a 2016 através da técnica de papel filtro. Após a confirmação dos resultados positivos em papel filtro, a confirmação foi realizada e as frequências encontradas foram de 22,52% para sífilis, 14,23% para toxoplasmose, 7,45% para doenças de Chagas, 4,74% para hepatite pelo vírus B (HBsAg), 3,77% para o vírus HIV, 1,73% para hepatite pelo vírus C (anti-HCV), 1,05% para vírus HTLV, 0,98% para citomegalovírus e 0,15% para rubéola. A importância da triagem para doenças infecciosas de transmissão vertical, é notória no presente estudo, principalmente pela frequência do número de casos de sífilis, toxoplasmose, doença de Chagas e hepatite pelo vírus B, mesmo que sendo baixo em comparação com outros estudos. Através do diagnóstico precoce é possível evitar a transmissão vertical e/ou diminuir os comprometimentos fetais. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Doenças Infecciosas. Gestantes. Cuidado pré-natal. Transmissão vertical.

Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as traduções de poemas zaúm do poeta cubofuturista russo Velimir Khlébnikov. Um dos mais influentes poetas russos da primeira metade do século XX, Khlébnikov utilizou e desenvolveu, em sua obra, diversos experimentos com a linguagem presentes em vários manifestos das vanguardas russas. A língua zaúm ou transmental foi traduzida pela primeira vez na coletânea de poemas Poesia Russa Moderna, de 1968. A retradução é considerada, neste artigo, como um processo de diálogo, que preferimos chamar de cotradução, com o aproveitamento e reelaboração dos recursos recriados por Augusto e Haroldo de Campos e Bóris Schnaiderman em língua portuguesa. Abstract This paper aims to analyze the translations of zaum poems by the Russian Cubo-futurist poet Velimir Khlebnikov. One of the most influential Russian poets of the first half of the twentieth century, Khlebnikov resorted to and developed across his work a number of experiments with the innovative language found in several manifestos of the Russian avant-garde. The zaum – or transrational – language was first translated and published in the 1968 anthology of poems, Modern Russian Poetry. The re-translation is regarded in this paper as a dialogic process, which we view as a co-translation, by making use of and re-elaborating the material once translated by Augusto and Haroldo de Campos and Boris Schnaiderman to the Portuguese language. КОПЕРЕВОД РОССИЙСКОЙ ЗАУМСКОЙ ПОЭЗИИ ВЕЛИМИРА ХЛЕБНИКОВА Абстракт: Цель данной статьи - проанализировать переводы поэм заума русского поэта-кубофутуриста Велимира Хлебникова. Хлебников, один из самых влиятельных русских поэтов первой половины двадцатого века, прибегнул к своим работам и разработал ряд экспериментов с инновационным языком, обнаруженным в нескольких манифестах русского авангарда. Заум - или трансрациональный - язык был впервые переведен и опубликован в сборнике стихов Современная Русская Поэзия 1968 года. Повторный перевод рассматривается в этой статье как диалогический процесс, который мы рассматриваем как коперевод, используя и перерабатывая материал, когда-то переведенный Аугусто, Гарольдо де Кампосом и Борисом Шнайдерманом на португальский язык.

RESUMO Objetivo identificar as terminologias mais utilizadas para designar o comportamento desproporcional a determinados sons (CDS) no TEA e sua relação com as respectivas ferramentas para sua investigação, assim como sua ocorrência e desfechos. Estratégia de pesquisa Foram utilizadas as bases de dados: PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scielo e Lilacs. As palavras-chave utilizadas foram “autism”, “hyperacusis” e “auditoryperception”, com as seguintes combinações: “autism AND hyperacusis” e “autism AND auditoryperception”. Critérios de seleção Foram incluídos os trabalhos com diagnóstico de TEA, de qualquer faixa etária; resumo disponível; Artigos em inglês, espanhol e português brasileiro; série de casos, estudos de prevalência e incidência, coorte e ensaios clínicos. Análise dos dados Foram analisados estudos com sujeitos com diagnóstico de TEA de qualquer faixa etária; referência no título e/ou resumo da ocorrência do CDS, aceitando os termos hiper-responsividade, hipersensibilidade e hiperacusia; resumo disponível; artigos em inglês, espanhol e português brasileiro; série de casos, estudos de prevalência e incidência, coorte e ensaios clínicos. Resultados Dos 692 estudos resultantes da consulta, foram identificados 13 que atendiam aos requisitos estabelecidos. Conclusão O termo hipersensibilidade auditiva foi o mais empregado para designar o CDS, seguido da hiperacusia. Não houve relação entre os termos e a respectiva ferramenta de investigação, sendo os questionários os mais utilizados para designar o referido comportamento, cuja frequência relatada foi de 42,1% a 69,0%. Os testes auditivos, quando realizados, mostraram o envolvimento das vias neurais auditivas, aferente e eferente. ABSTRACT Purpose this paper aims to identify the most used terminologies to designate the disproportional behavior to sounds in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its relationship with the respective tools for its investigation, as well as its occurrence and outcomes. Research strategies the databases used were PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scielo and Lilacs. The keywords used were “autism”, “hyperacusis” and “auditory perception”, with the following combinations: “autism AND hyperacusis” and “autism AND auditory perception”. Selection criteria individuals diagnosed with ASD of any age group; available abstract; papers in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese; case series, prevalence and incidence studies, cohort and clinical trials. Data analysis we analyzed studies with individuals diagnosed with ASD of any age group; reference in the title and/or summary of the occurrence of disproportional behavior to sounds, accepting the terms hyper-responsiveness, hypersensitivity and hyperacusis; summary available; papers in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese; series of cases, prevalence and incidence studies, cohort and clinical trials. Results Of the 692 studies resulting from the consultation, 13 studies could achieve the established requirements. Conclusion The term auditory hypersensitivity was the most commonly used to designate disproportional behavior to sounds, followed by hyperacusis. There was no relationship between the terms and the respective research tool, and the questionnaires were the most used to designate the referred behavior, whose reported frequency was from 42.1% to 69.0%. The auditory behavior tests when performed showed the involvement of the auditory, afferent and efferent neural pathways.

The development of dynamic data-based Decision Support Systems (DSSs) along with the increasing availability of data in the industry, makes real-time data acquisition and management a challenge. Intelligent automation appears as a holistic combination of automation with analytics and decisions made by artificial intelligence, delivering smart manufacturing and mass customization while improving resource efficiency. However, challenges towards the development of intelligent automation architectures include the lack of interoperability between systems, complex data preparation steps, and the inability to deal with both high-frequency and high-volume data in a timely fashion. This paper contributes to industrial frameworks focused on the development of standardized system architectures for Industry 4.0, closing the gap between generic architectures and physical realizations. It proposes a platform for intelligent automation relying on a gateway or middleware between field devices, enterprise databases, and DSSs in real-time scenarios. This is achieved by providing the middleware interoperability, determinism, and automatic data structuring over an industrial communication infrastructure such as the OPC UA Standard over Time Sensitive Networks (TSN). Cloud services and database warehousing used to address some of the challenges are handled using fog computing and a multi-workload database. This paper presents an implementation of the platform in the pharmaceutical industry, providing interoperability and real-time reaction capability to changes to an industrial prototype using dynamic scheduling algorithms.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to unfold how different digital marketing tools and strategies influence recruitment effectiveness. More specifically, it focusses on understanding if, and how, information sources’ credibility, content marketing, and organisational reputation influence candidates’ decision to apply for a job in the Portuguese market. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research, aligned with a content analysis, was conducted to focus on the insights from the 21 participants interviewed, to understand their thoughts and experiences regarding the subject. Findings The results show that digital marketing tools owned by the company are seen to be more credible and more relevant for the job application decision. LinkedIn is considered to be a more credible platform for advertising job openings than Facebook. In terms of content marketing, LinkedIn has a positive influence on candidates’ decision, as well as companies’ reputation. Practical implications This study provides practical implications which are useful for both HR and marketing managers, namely, the implementation of an integrated marketing communication strategy, the reinforcement of the company’s website and LinkedIn page and a presence on universities’ platforms, and also in terms of the information that content marketing should focus on. Originality/value This research paper incorporates marketing insights into a well-known HRM subject – recruitment, and thus adds further knowledge to the literature and prepares the ground for researchers who wish to explore this subject further.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the studies about workaround behavior in the Information Systems (IS) area, addressing its positive and negative aspects and raising the key related issues. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review was conducted to verify how workaround behavior has been approached in IS studies. A qualitative method was adopted and implemented in two stages: selection of articles from the time period 2007-2017 in the databases Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Scopus and analysis of the selected articles. Findings The results showed that many studies have been concerned with identifying the principal reasons for the manifestation of workaround behavior and the measures taken to reduce its impacts. Many studies from international journals examined the implementation of an ERP along with the workaround behavior. The need to expand the national studies on workaround behavior is emphasized, because the majority of the identified studies are international. Research limitations/implications The key limitation is related to the period of analysis, because only articles published since 2007 were selected. Practical implications This paper contributes to both theory and practice, bringing relevant concepts about workaround behavior, and corroborating the importance of the studies on workaround in the IS area. The literature review of the 20 articles analyzed reveals the main features in each article, such as theoretical and methodological aspects that support the research. Based on this analysis, a conceptual map was developed presenting the most relevant points about workaround behavior, where the causes, the negative and positive consequences, the types of solutions and the organizational and individual impacts are presented. Originality/value Research into workaround behavior has increased in recent years, however very few studies have been conducted in Brazil. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no articles regarding Brazil and this subject were published between 2007 and 2017. Thus, this paper seeks to redress this imbalance.

This paper presents a method to evaluate usability and gameplay efficiency for educational games developed for children undergoing cancer treatment, as well as a case study involving the game “Corrida Gramatical”. The methodology of this paper consists of the use of tablets by patients aged 10 to 15 years old to evaluate and quantify the usability and gameplay of the game, while the process is documented through non-participant observation, a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The proposed method has proved to be supportive in the evaluation of existing educational games, considering the participants of the research, as well as in the improvement of the game by analyzing the flaws identified in the game design. For future studies, we intend to change the inclusion criteria to select a larger group of patients and reaffirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the impacts of the investment programs created by the Brazilian federal government on private investment in transportation infrastructure (crowding-in effect). Design/methodology/approach The study used two quantitative techniques of data analysis: cluster analysis and panel data analysis. Findings The results show that the investment programs created by the Brazilian federal government were successful in attracting private agents to invest in transportation infrastructure in the country. This effect is observed even in the cases of programs focused on public investments. Research limitations/implications Advancing the research area that seeks to assess the impact of public policies is the main practical and social implications of the papers. As a research limitation we can highlight that need for a comparison to other country investment’s public policies. Practical implications Performance of public policies. Social implications Economic development. Originality/Value The paper discusses the effects of the Brazilian Federal Government programs for infrastructure investment in the private investment in the country (investment in transportation infrastructure). The issue is relevant for policies makers.

Purpose The text is the result of research carried out at undergraduate and post-graduate levels. This think-box corresponds to a collection of ideas and reflections debated in a roundtable that discussed issues related to access and career limitations for women, especially for black women. In this sense, the purpose of this paper is to present, analytically, data that demonstrate the unequal conditions by gender and race. Design/methodology/approach The selected approach was qualitative in a critical perspective. Findings The discussion elicits important social markers to establish difference, and thereby promote exclusion. Reflection on these issues needs to go beyond academic boundaries and reach the business community, perhaps worldwide, sensitizing them to the urgent need to revise biased methods and procedures that are crystallized. It is necessary to create conditions for a more balanced and humane look at women, especially black women. And, in this way ensure fairness in the treatment of people in all aspects, especially in educational spaces and the labor market. Research limitations/implications The difficulty in identifying some systematized data limits the condition of broadening our view to points that have been discussed in the text, such as where are the 6 percent of black executive women. Practical implications It is hoped that this paper may elicit reflections on the current social exclusionary context, and subsidize practices on a more equitable basis observing gender and race. Social implications Socially speaking, it is hoped that this discussion could guide actions to eliminate or reduce the gap, mainly through specific public policies to address the issues of women in Brazil. Originality/value It is the parallel discussion of gender and race in the business sector, where the subjects were scarcely explored, and the critical theory was used as a basis of analysis.

Marketing researchers have the responsibility to promote their field of study, developing models and tools, and suggesting best practices that favour marketing practitioners as well. In this sense, both current practices and consumer behavior are investigated. However, consumer behavior should not be seen as a whole on itself. Based on this issue, we investigated the publication in marketing in Brazil. Through a desk research using bibliometric analysis techniques over 520 journal issues and 28 conference proceedings were analyzed. In order to evaluate the evolution of the publication in marketing, we selected the two oldest management journals (RAUSP of FEA/USP and RAE of EAESP/FGV) and the three main national events in the area (SEMEAD, EnANPAD and EMA). Papers published between 1947 and 1976 in RAUSP were analyzed in printed editions. The others were obtained through the website of the events and of the journals. In all, 2,715 marketing articles were identified. We noticed that there is a growing concentration of studies on consumer behavior. Other authors point to this situation, stressing that excessive focus on consumer behavior might reduce studies on strategy and decision making. Thus, the results suggest that marketing scholars rethink the scope of the field and their research activities, strengthening more applied studies to the reality of managers.

The paper examines the opposition between Greeks and the so-called Others (foreigners, barbarians, etc.) as represented in Aeschylus’ surviving plays. This antithesis has become a major focus of scholarly interest not only in philological studies, but also in the modern historical, philosophical and political thought, where it corresponds to the radical opposition between ‘Greekness’ and ‘Otherness’, as well as between West and East. By focusing on this topic, the paper presents an innovative interpretation of some aeschylean texts taken from Suppliants, Agamemnon and Seven against Thebes, looking at foreign characters such as Suppliants’ Egyptian herald or Agamemnon’s Cassandra, but also at ethnically hybrid characters (the Danaids’ Chorus of the Suppliants, whose ancient bond with the Argive land is explicit, and Polynices’ army, described as an external foreign enemy). The aim of the texts’ selection is to capture the interest on Aeschylus’ lexis related to the semantic sphere of the foreigner. The assumption is that a methodology based on semantic values (especially of the terms ξένος or ξενόω, and of some compounds such as ἀστόξενος and ἐχθρόξενος) well witnesses how the Aeschylean lexicon maintains the broad semantic spectrum of the term ξένος, with the frequent co-presence of the meaning of ‘guest’ alongside that of ‘foreigner’. The argument is that in Aeschylean theatre the Greek/Others polarity is presented not only in terms of a contrast/opposition with Greekness (with the positive element of the pair destined to predominate over the Otherness), but also in terms of intermingling/confusion. Aeschylus is not only the poet of the conflict between Greeks and Barbarians, but also the inventor of collective characters in which Greek and foreign elements constantly co-exist, in order to determine hybrid identities.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a eficácia do uso do telefone para adesão de pessoas com HIV/AIDS à terapia antirretroviral. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática, nas bases de dados: Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs/Bireme), Scopus, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline/PubMed), Web of Science; e nas bibliotecas Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e Cochrane, com uso dos seguintes descritores: “HIV”, “Cell Phones”, “Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome” e “Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active”. Obteve-se uma amostra de 17 artigos. As intervenções com uso de telefones celulares propostas foram: uso de aplicativos de celulares, Serviço de Mensagem Curta e chamadas telefônicas. Na maioria dos estudos, o uso do telefone trouxe impacto significativo sobre a adesão ao tratamento. A avaliação dos estudos apontou boa qualidade metodológica e sigilo de alocação adequado. Acerca dos métodos de mensuração da adesão destacou-se a autorrelatada. A utilização de telefone celular foi eficaz para a melhoria da adesão à terapia antirretroviral de pessoas vivendo com HIV. Abstract This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of telephone use for the adherence of people with HIV/AIDS to antiretroviral therapy. A systematic review was carried out in the following databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs/ Bireme), SCOPUS, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE/PubMed), Web of Science; and in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Cochrane libraries, using the following descriptors: “HIV”, “Cell Phones”, “Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome” and “Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active”. We gathered a sample of 17 papers. The proposed cellphone interventions were the use of cellular applications, Short Message Service, and telephone calls. In most studies, telephone use has had a significant impact on adherence to treatment. The evaluation of the studies showed good methodological quality and adequate allocation secrecy. Self-reported adherence emerged among the adherence measuring methods. Cellphone use was effective in improving adherence to antiretroviral therapy for people living with HIV.

Alluding to Carlos Del Negro’s main works (Contribuição... e Nova Contribuição ao estudo da Pintura Mineira [1958 e 1978]), this paper refers to the actions taken by the author to study and learn the characteristics of the Brazilian heritage, including those of the colonial period. His works remain, even after decades of publishing, as a reference to the study of specific cases of architecture and painting and to the discussion on typologies and models. Besides that, these “Contribuições” (Contributions) are a source for the study of artworks and can also reveal the process of inventory and classification. This paper aims to explore the relationship between these publications and the heritage policies, and also shows the author’s and his partners’ understanding of the heritage., Numa alusão aos dois principais escritos de Carlos del Negro (a Contribuição... e Nova Contribuição ao estudo da Pintura Mineira [1958 e 1978]), esse artigo remete às ações empreendidas pelo intelectual para o estudo e reconhecimento de características do patrimônio brasileiro, sobretudo aquele oriundo do período colonial presente em Minas Gerais. Suas obras continuam, décadas depois da sua publicação, como referência tanto para o estudo de casos específicos da produção de arquitetura e pintura quanto para a discussão sobre aproximações tipológicas e de modelos de referência. Além disso, se as Contribuições são fonte para o estudo das obras, por outro lado servem como referência para os processos de inventário e tombamento, quando utilizadas como base de estudo pelos órgãos competentes. Pretende-se, aqui, explorar a relação entre essas publicações e a política de patrimônio coetânea, bem como perceber elementos das noções de patrimônio de seu autor e interlocutores.

Resumo Realizou-se revisão integrativa que objetivou identificar e analisar publicações nacionais sobre motivos para a não notificação de incidentes de segurança do paciente por profissionais no contexto dos serviços de saúde brasileiros. Em janeiro de 2017 realizou-se busca no Portal da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, PubMed e Web of Science, por publicações dos últimos 10 anos. Identificou-se 1.007 publicações e, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, analisou-se 8 artigos, sendo 5 de abordagem qualitativa e 3 quantitativa. Todas as pesquisas foram desenvolvidas em hospitais, exclusivamente com profissionais da enfermagem, sendo que 75% em serviços do Sudeste do país. A maioria dos estudos evidenciou subnotificação de incidentes, principalmente devido a: medo ou receio em notificar; notificação focada em eventos mais graves, falta de conhecimento sobre o tema ou como notificar e centralização da notificação no profissional enfermeiro. Embora o estudo desta temática seja incipiente no Brasil, a presente revisão encontrou importantes fragilidades e motivos apontados pelos profissionais para a não notificação de incidentes, revelando a necessidade de incentivar sua participação, eliminando ou reduzindo barreiras, com o objetivo de fortalecer a segurança dos pacientes. Abstract An integrative review was performed to identify and analyze national studies on barriers to patient safety incident reporting by health professionals within Brazilian health services. A search in the Virtual Health Library (BVS) Portal, PubMed and Web of Science was performed in January 2017 for papers published in the last ten years. One thousand and seven publications were identified and, following application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight papers were analyzed, five of which were qualitative and three quantitative. All research was conducted in hospitals, exclusively with nursing professionals, and 75% was conducted in Southeast Brazil. Most studies showed an under-reporting of incidents, and the main reasons were fear about reporting, reporting focused on more severe incidents, lack of knowledge about the subject or how to report and, registered nurse-centered reporting. While study of this theme is still incipient in Brazil, this review found important weaknesses in the process and barriers to incident reporting by professionals, revealing a need for encouraging their participation, eliminating or reducing such barriers with a view to strengthening patient safety.

The present paper intends to reflect on the academia as a place for social transformation. It shares the experience of eight MESPT students, interviewed during their course. The criteria for choosing the interviewees was to become as close as possible to the social and demographic composition of the whole classroom, base on ethnicity and gender. As a result, here are registered the speeches of indigenous students, quilombolas, gipsies, fisherwomen and men and afro-religious representatives. The interviews are semi-structured and the speech analysis was based on the concept of counter-colonization as developed by Antônio Bispo dos Santos (2015), as well as on the reflections on the motivations to enter higher education presented by Luciano (2011) and Sotto (2017). The paper concludes that the access to politically relevant positions and the epistemic confrontation with academia are the main motivations for these students to join the program., O objetivo do presente artigo é refletir sobre a academia como um espaço de transformação social, a partir da experiência de estudantes do MESPT. Para tanto, se apresenta os relatos de oito estudantes do MESPT, entrevistadas/os durante o seu processo de formação. Buscou-se a maior representatividade possível na turma, por pertencimento étnico-cultural e por gênero, reunindo os discursos de estudantes indígenas, quilombolas, ciganas/os, pescadoras/es e de povos de terreiro. As entrevistas são semi-estruturadas, e a análise dos discursos foi realizada a partir do conceito de contra colonização desenvolvido por Antônio Bispo dos Santos (2015) e das reflexões sobre a motivação para o ingresso na educação superior apresentadas por Luciano (2011) e Sotto (2017). Conclui-se que o acesso a espaços de decisão política e o embate epistêmico com a academia são as principais motivações destas/es discentes para o ingresso no programa.

During the Lula da Silva (2003-2010) and Dilma Rousseff (2010-2016) governments in Brazil, South-South international academic cooperation was strengthened, particularly concerning Portuguese-speaking African Countries (PALOPs). There was, for example, an increase in undergraduate and graduate exchange programs (PEC-G and PEC-PG) and the creation of the University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony (UNILAB). Among the factors that usually justify this educational partnership are the colonization history of these regions of the South Atlantic and the sharing of the Portuguese language as an official language (although not a majority language in all countries). The present paper intends to analyze, in the scope of the linguistic and educational policies of academic agreement, the status of the Portuguese language in the process of integration in the Brazilian higher education of students stemming from PALOPs. Questioning the ethnocentric and utopian idea of "lusophony" (FARACO, 2016), as well as its "common cultural base" homogenizing spaces, subjects and languages,the paper discuss of the erasure of the symbolic violence of Portuguese linguistic colonization in CPLP discourses as well as the neocolonial assumptions and economic interests of Brazilian academic cooperation. Keywords: language policies, linguistic colonization, South-South academic cooperation, Portuguese, PALOPs Durante os governos Lula da Silva (2003-2010) e Dilma Rousseff (2010-2016), no Brasil, a cooperação acadêmica internacional Sul-Sul se fortaleceu, em particular no que alude aos Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa – PALOPs. Houve, por exemplo, o incremento dos Programas Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação e Pós-Graduação (PEC-G e PEC-PG) e a criação da Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira (UNILAB). Dentre os fatores que costumam justificar essa parceria educacional, destacam-se a história de colonização dessas regiões do Atlântico Sul e o compartilhamento da língua portuguesa como língua oficial (embora não majoritária em todos os países). O presente artigo pretende analisar, no âmbito das políticas linguísticas e educacionais de convênio acadêmico, o estatuto da língua portuguesa no processo de integração de estudantes oriundos dos PALOPs no ensino superior brasileiro. Questionando a ideia etnocêntrica e utópica da “lusofonia” (FARACO, 2016), bem como sua “base cultural comum” homogeneizadora de espaços, sujeitos e línguas, problematiza-se o apagamento da violência simbólica da colonização linguística portuguesa nos discursos da CPLP além dos pressupostos neocoloniais e interesses econômicos da cooperação acadêmica brasileira.

RESUMO Este artigo analisa, em consonância com os estudos interacionistas da área de Aquisição da Linguagem, a fala de personagens infantis de tiras cômicas. Entre outros aspectos analisa a verossimilhança dessas falas e argumenta sobre a necessidade de relacionar os dados oriundos da ficção com dados já colhidos por pesquisadores da área, se a esses dados fictícios quiser se recorrer como material de trabalho. Por outro lado, aborda os dados (as tiras) como um relevante material para se observar como se representam, na ficção, a própria fala da criança e os efeitos que ela produz nos seus interlocutores, dado o fato que as tiras são textos produzidos por autores adultos que de alguma forma devem tornar verossímil a fala infantil. Observando que as tiras são textos produzidos para obter algum efeito de humor, o artigo argumenta, ainda, que o efeito de humor produzido pelas tiras não se relaciona ou relaciona-se muito sutilmente com o efeito cômico produzido por algumas falas reais de crianças. ABSTRACT This paper analyzes, according to interactionist researches of Language Acquisition, the speech of children characters on comic strips. Among other things, it analyzes the verisimilitude of these speeches and argues about the need of relating the data from the fiction to the data already collected by researchers, if someone wishes to work with those fictitious data. By contrast, this paper observes the data (the strips) as an important material in order to analyze, in fiction, the representation of the children’s own speech and the effects that children speech produces in their receptors, considering the fact that the comic strips are texts written by adult authors who must make children speech somehow plausible. Noting that the comic strips are texts aiming to produce some effect of humor, this paper further argues that this effect is not related to (or it is very subtly related to) the comic effect produced by some children speeches.

Introdução - A cadeia de produção de semijoias e bijuterias em Limeira é responsável por um processo produtivo complexo que, chega ao domicílio residencial e, gera trabalho infantil e adolescente. Graves problemas de saúde podem surgir para as famílias que produzem semijoias e bijuterias dentro de casa, além dos riscos ocupacionais e de acidentes. Objetivo - Compreender o aprendizado expansivo coletivo de modo a possibilitar a colaboração e a integração entre os diferentes atores da rede de sistemas de atividades da COMETIL - Comissão Municipal de Erradicação do Trabalho Infantil e Adolescente de Limeira. Método - Coleta de dados utilizando entrevistas, reuniões, oficinas de apresentação, observações da atividade. Posteriormente, utiliza-se o método Laboratório de Mudanças (LM), que se apoia na Teoria da Atividade Histórico Cultural e na Aprendizagem Expansiva, para a compreensão das atividades interinstitucionais da COMETIL, com gravação e filmagem das sessões para análise. Resultados - Divididos em 2 artigos e 1 capítulo de livro. No primeiro artigo, as hipóteses são de que contradições existentes no sistema de atividades da cadeia produtiva não permitem transpor o desafio de sustentabilidade da cadeia, aumentando a precarização do trabalho e os riscos à saúde e segurança das famílias que, por não encontrarem outra alternativa, produzem semijoias e bijuterias em casa. No segundo, apresenta-se uma análise dos resultados do LM que permitiu elevar o nível de agência transformativa entre os participantes da COMETIL, além de fornecer visualização das ações com a elaboração de novos instrumentos de trabalho. No terceiro, evidencia-se que a agência transformativa efetiva-se através da compreensão de que há necessidade de atuação coletiva e integrada, entre instituições públicas e privadas, confirmando o processo de aprendizagem expansiva desencadeado pelo método. Conclusão - O LM permitiu visualizar que a COMETIL pode ser entendida como uma plataforma ou um macro sistema de atividades e que possibilita novos processos organizacionais de ações das instituições públicas de erradicação e controle do trabalho infantojuvenil junto a este setor produtivo de semijoias e bijuterias. The costume jewelry production chain in Limeira is responsible for a complex production process that gets the residential homes and creates child and adolescent labor. Consequently, severe health problems can emerge for families that produce costume jewelry inside their houses, besides the occupational risks and accidents. Objective - To understand the collective expansive learning towards the collaboration and the integration between the actors of the activity systems of COMETIL - Committee for Eradication of Child Labor and Adolescent Work Protection of Limeira. Methods - Data collection using interviews, meetings, introductory workshops, and observations of activity. Subsequently, the Change Laboratory (CL) method, based on the Cultural-Historical Activity Theory and the Expansive Learning, was carried out to comprehend the interorganizational activities of the COMETIL with video recording for analysis. Results - These are divided into two papers and one book chapter. In the first paper, the hypotheses are that the existing contradictions in the activity systems of the production chain do not allow to meet the sustainability challenge, increasing the precariousness and the health and safety risks for families that are forced to produce costume jewelry at home because of an absence of other choices. The second text presents the analysis of the CL results that promoted the transformative agency among the COMETIL participants and provided the visualization of actions with the elaboration of new work instruments. The third paper supports that the transformative agency becomes effective through the comprehension of the need for a collective and integrated action between public and private institutions, confirming the learning expansive process resulting from the method. Conclusions - The CL allowed visualizing that the COMETIL can be understood as a platform or a macrosystem of activities and it promoted a new organizational process of actions of public institutions of eradication and monitoring the child labor with this costume jewelry production sector.

Educação interprofissional (EIP) é uma abordagem pedagógica importante nos currículos da saúde por buscar preparar os estudantes para o cuidado em um ambiente de equipe colaborativa. Este artigo propôs-se a realizar uma análise bibliométrica da produção científica em relação à EIP em saúde no Brasil, de 2012 a 2017. A pesquisa foi realizada na base de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Como descritor controlado foi utilizado o termo ‘Relações interprofissionais/ Interprofessional Relations’ e como descritores não controlados ‘Educação Interprofissional/ Interprofessional Education’, ‘Aprendizado Colaborativo/ Collaborative Learning’ e ‘Trabalho em Equipe/ Teamwork'. Na busca, esses descritores foram combinados e acrescidos do operador boleano ‘AND’. Foram analisadas 46 publicações (37 artigos, 6 dissertações, 3 teses). Os primeiros autores eram brasileiros, vinculados a Instituições de Ensino Superior público (78,2%). Periódicos da Enfermagem, Saúde Pública e Educação, Qualis B, se destacaram entre os artigos analisados. Os estudos mais frequentes foram os de abordagem qualitativa (61%), realizados na região Sudeste (58,7%), cujos participantes foram profissionais da saúde (23,9%) e estudantes de graduação, atualização, especialização e residência (19,5%). A ‘associação de técnicas’ (24%), seguida pela entrevista semiestruturada (21,7%) foram as técnicas de coleta de dados mais observadas. Análise de conteúdo foi citada em 41,3% das publicações como a forma de análise dos dados. Esses estudos tratavam de experiências de EIP voltadas ao ensino na saúde (45,6%), EIP nos serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde (23,9%), e EIP nos espaços de ambulatório e hospital (15,1%). Seis publicações apresentaram fonte de financiamento. Pesquisas sobre EIP são incipientes no país, devendo ser ampliadas e qualificadas Interprofessional education is an important pedagogical approach in health curricula. It aims at preparing students for care in a collaborative team environment. This paper is intended to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production in interprofessional health education in Brazil from 2012 to 2017. The research was conducted based on Virtual Health Library (BVS) data. The term relações interprofissionais (interprofessional relations) was used as controlled descriptor, and the terms educação interprofissional (interprofessional education), aprendizado colaborativo (collaborative learning), and trabalho em equipe (teamwork) were used as non-controlled descriptors. In the search, these descriptors were combined with the Boolean operator AND. A total of 46 publications (37 papers, 6 theses, 3 dissertations) were analyzed. The first authors were Brazilian and associated with public higher education institutions (78.2%). Nursing, Public Health, and Education periodicals (Qualis B) were highlighted among the analyzed papers. The most frequent studies were of qualitative approach (61%), conducted in the Southeastern region (58.7%), with participants who were health professionals (23.9%) and undergraduate, refresher, specialization, and residency students (19.5%). “Association of techniques” (24%) and semistructured interviews (21.7%) were the most observed data collection techniques. Content analysis was mentioned in 41.3% of publications as a data analysis type. These studies were about interprofessional education focused on health education (45.6%), interprofessional education in primary care services (23.9%) and in outpatient clinics and hospitals (15.1%). Six publications were funded. Interprofessional education research is incipient in Brazil and should be expanded and qualified

Este artigo faz parte da produção no âmbito do Pós-DOC acolhido pela UID 4372/FCT- Laboratório de Educação a Distância e eLearning, unidade financiada pela Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, Portugal. O objetivo do presente artigo é o de oferecer contribuições para formulação de frameworks como ferramentas de suporte ao desenvolvimento de MOOCs mais eficientes e com melhor qualidade. Dois estudos de caso foram realizados com MOOCs financiados pela Comissão Europeia, cujo principal objetivo é o de introduzir educadores presenciais junto a algumas experiências pedagógicas positivas em ambiente virtual, e que podem ser aplicadas ao ensino presencial. Os resultados levaram à observação de que, embora o MOOC em análise tenha demonstrado conformidade com relação à maioria dos principais fundamentos pedagógicos, vários outros importantes aspectos pedagógicos secundários, designs instrucionais, assim como a usabilidade da plataforma educacional, não receberam a atenção necessária. Os resultados do presente estudo conduziram à conclusão de que frameworks, concebidos como ferramentas de suporte ao desenvolvimento de MOOCs, devem incluir não apenas teorias, conceitos e princípios pedagógicos fundamentais e gerais (como a maioria deles atualmente o fazem), mas também integrar a estes - e de forma articulada - os imprescindíveis aspectos secundários práticos, como, por exemplo, o design instrucional e o projeto do sistema de aprendizagem centrada no usuário This paper aims to offer some contributions to the development of frameworks as tools to support the development of better quality and more efective MOOCs. Two empirical studies have been carried out addressing a MOOC funded by the European Commission, whose main objective is to introduce face to face teachers to some positive pedagogical experiences in virtual environment which could be applied to their presential teaching. The results led to the observation that although the MOOC under analysis demonstrated compliance to most of high level and theoretical pedagogical MOOCs principles, some important low level pedagogical aspects, instructional designs, as well as the usability of the educational platform, have not been received the attention as required. In conclusion, this paper supports the view that frameworks conceived as a tool to support MOOC design to meet quality and efective learning experience, should include not only high level theories and pedagogical principles (as most of they currently do), but also to integrate these- and in an articulated way-with the essential practical secondary aspects, such as the instructional design and the user-cente-red learning system design. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the research studies on social entrepreneurship (SE) and maps out the study axes on this subject. A bibliometric method was used in order to analyze 296 scientific papers available in Scopus database, which were published between 1988 and 2016. The study made it possible to verify the evolution of the study of SE throughout the time, authorship and co-authoring, as well as retrieval of similar words. The results yielded four research categories: SE studies, society, education and housing policies. An exploratory factor analysis resulted in six factors that map the study fields in ES. The research study revealed the difficulty to define the notion of SE, the motivations of social entrepreneurs, as well as their traits and competences. Classificações JEL: 26.

An indisputable cornerstone of the Western music tradition, the dialectic opposition between the major and minor grammatical modal genders has always been present in the imagination of musicians and music theorists for centuries. Such dialectics of opposition is especially important in the context of nineteenth-century harmonic dualism, with its ideas of tonicity and phonicity. These concepts serve as the main foundation for the way harmonic dualism conceives the major and minor worlds: two worlds with equivalent rights and properties, but with opposed polarities. This paper presents a redefinition of the terms tonicity and phonicity, translating those concepts to the context of post-tonal music theory. The terminologies of generatrix, tonicity, root, phonicity, vertex, and azimuth are explained in this paper, followed by propositions of mathematical models for those concepts, which spring from Richard Parncutt’s root-salience model for pitch-class sets. In order to demonstrate the possibilities of using modal gender as a criterion for the study and classification of the universe of Tn-types, we will present a taxonomy of the 351 transpositional set types, which comprises the categories of tonic (major), phonic (minor) and neutral (genderless). In addition, there will be a small discussion on the effect of set symmetries and set asymmetries on the tonic/phonic properties of a Tn-type.

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a method extensively used in product development in a wide range of industries. One of the applications is for software development. In this paper, we seek to demonstrate a QFD application to assist a better understanding of customer requirements, thereby facilitating the development of software. The application was based on existing information used in the development of a software application for capturing images obtained from radiological equipment without the use of QFD. The comparison between the development with and without QFD not only had positive results, such as a better understanding of the customer’s requirements, but also negative ones, such as the low priority given to essential functions of the software. A point of distinction of this paper in relation to other ones that apply QFD in software development is the construction of a function matrix. We conclude that the use of QFD is adaptable to software development by providing support for the identification of development priorities, organization, and documentation of requirements.

A fibromialgia é uma condição de alta prevalência, que causa desconforto físico, sofrimento mental e comprometimento das relações sociais. Com o aumento da popularidade de Mobile Health, considerou-se o uso de aplicativo móvel como recurso de suporte no tratamento de indivíduos com fibromialgia. Há uma carência de aplicativos para brasileiros portadores de fibromialgia, desenvolvidos por profissionais de saúde, a partir de fontes de informação confiáveis, em linguagem adequada, com alto grau de funcionalidade, testados quanto à sua eficácia em ensaios clínicos. O presente projeto constitui-se de dois estudos. O Estudo I teve como objetivo desenvolver um aplicativo móvel para promover o autocuidado em indivíduos com fibromialgia, e o Estudo II teve como objetivo avaliar sua eficácia na melhora da qualidade de vida e dos sintomas e na promoção do autocuidado, e verificar a adesão dos pacientes ao uso do aplicativo. Desenvolveu-se o aplicativo denominado ProFibro segundo o paradigma da prototipação, em cinco etapas: (1) análise de requisitos e conteúdo e estabelecimento de objetivos do software; (2) desenvolvimento da interface pela designer; (3) desenvolvimento do protótipo pela programadora para o sistema operacional Android (Google Inc., Mountain View, CA); (4) teste-piloto para avaliação da qualidade de uso do protótipo com pacientes; (5) refinamento do protótipo e construção do produto final. Suas principais funções são: animação educativa; automonitoramento com o Questionário de Impacto da Fibromialgia Revisado; estratégias do sono com a técnica de relaxamento por imaginação guiada, terapia de controle de estímulo e higiene do sono; agenda para facilitar o planejamento da rotina diária; programa gradual de exercícios aeróbicos, alongamento e fortalecimento; diário para a prática da gratidão; livro eletrônico com atividades para a família; dicas por meio de notificações. O Estudo II foi um ensaio clínico controlado e aleatorizado com 40 indivíduos com fibromialgia, alocados em grupos experimental e controle. Os participantes foram avaliados na linha de base e após seis semanas por um avaliador cego, quanto às seguintes variáveis: qualidade de vida (Questionário de Impacto da Fibromialgia Revisado); dor (Índice de Dor Generalizada e Escala Visual Analógica); sintomas (Escala de Severidade de Sintomas); agenciamento do autocuidado (Escala de Avaliação de Agenciamento de Autocuidados Revisada). O grupo experimental recebeu smartphones com o aplicativo ProFibro para uso durante seis semanas, enquanto o grupo controle recebeu uma apostila em papel de conteúdo similar. A adesão dos pacientes ao aplicativo foi avaliada contabilizando o número de acessos às suas funcionalidades. O uso do aplicativo ProFibro durante seis semanas, sem o acompanhamento de um profissional de saúde, foi eficaz para a redução da severidade de sintomas e do impacto geral da fibromialgia na qualidade de vida, em comparação com a linha de base. Os efeitos do uso do aplicativo foram similares aos da apostila. Cerca de 40% dos participantes do Grupo Experimental tiveram uma baixa adesão ao uso do aplicativo. As estratégias do sono foram a funcionalidade mais utilizada, seguidas do programa de exercício físico e do diário Fibromyalgia is a prevalent condition that causes physical problems, mental distress and impaired social functioning. With the increasing popularity of Mobile Health, the use of a mobile application as a support tool in the management of fibromyalgia was considered. There is a shortage of applications for Brazilian patients with fibromyalgia, which are developed by health professionals, based on reliable sources of information, in proper language, with a high degree of functionality, and are tested for effectiveness in clinical trials. This project is formed of two studies. Study I aimed to develop a mobile application to promote self-care in individuals with fibromyalgia, and Study II aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in improving quality of life and symptoms, and promoting self-care, and to verify patient compliance to the use of the application. The application which was named ProFibro was developed according to the prototyping paradigm, in five stages: (1) analysis of requirements and content and establishment of software objectives; (2) interface development by the designer; (3) development of the prototype by the programmer for the Android operating system (Google Inc., Mountain View, CA); (4) pilot test with patients to evaluate the quality of use of the prototype; (5) improvement of the prototype and construction of the final product. Its main functions are: educational animation; self-monitoring with the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire; sleep strategies with guided imagery relaxation technique, stimulus control therapy and sleep hygiene; scheduling function to facilitate planning the daily routine; graded exercise programme with aerobic, stretching and strengthening exercises; a diary for the practice of gratitude; an eBook about family adjustments; hints through notifications. The Study II was a randomized controlled trial of 40 individuals with fibromyalgia, which were allocated into Experimental and Control groups. A blind evaluator assessed the participants at baseline and after six weeks regarding the following outcomes: quality of life (Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire); Pain (Generalized Pain Index and Visual Analog Scale); symptoms (Severity of Symptoms Scale); self-care agency (Revised Self-Care Agency Assessment Scale). The Experimental Group received smartphones with the ProFibro application and were instructed to use it for six weeks while the control group received a paper book with similar content. Patient adherence to the application was evaluated according to the number of accesses to its functions. The use of ProFibro application for six weeks, without the health professional support, was effective in reducing the severity of symptoms and the overall impact of fibromyalgia on quality of life compared to baseline. The effects of the use of the application were similar to those of the paper book. About 40% of the participants of the Experimental Group had a low adherence to the use of the application. The sleep strategies were the most used function, followed by the exercise programme and the diary

Resumo As operações de Combinação de Negócios (CN) indiscutivelmente constituem uma área de estudo multidisciplinar de grande riqueza conceitual. Questões do ramo do Direito Societário, do Direito Tributário e do Direito Econômico emergem naturalmente. O estudioso no tema também é instigado a enveredar pelos campos da Contabilidade Societária e Tributária e das Finanças Corporativas na busca por uma melhor compreensão do mesmo. Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar algumas CN, sob uma abordagem de pesquisa normativa, considerando dispositivos das IFRSs voltados à disciplina do tema, em particular a IFRS n. 3, que espelha no Brasil o CPC n. 15, e os seus desdobramentos em matéria de Legislação Tributária e Societária. Verifica-se que muitas controvérsias surgem em matéria de Direito Societário e de Legislação Tributária. Anomalias no tratamento contábil societário de algumas operações são observadas também, como é o caso da contraprestação contingente liquidada em ações de própria emissão da sociedade controlada. O autor espera que este trabalho contribua para o debate das questões abordadas. Abstract Business Combination (BC) transactions doubtlessly constitute a multidisciplinary field of study with deep conceptual issues. Issues regarding corporate regulation, tax regulation and economic law emerge naturally. The expert on the subject is also stimulated to enter into the fields of Financial Accounting, Tax Accounting and Corporate Finance in order to better understand it. This paper is focused on examining some BC transactions, under a normative research approach, considering some IFRS in force, in particular IFRS n. 3, which is the basis of the Brazilian accounting rule CPC n. 15, and also taking into consideration Tax and Corporate Regulation. It is observed that many controversial questions arise from Corporate and Tax Regulation in force. Anomalies in the Financial Accounting with regards to the treatment of some transactions are also observed, as in the case of contingent consideration settled with own shares of the subsidiary. The author hopes that this paper contributes to the debate of the questions raised.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of Brazilian scientific research in diffusion of innovations in administration. A bibliometric research was conducted with network analysis in scientific papers about diffusion of innovations in Spell database. The papers were analyzed from descriptive, bibliographic, methodologic, results and citation characteristics. The authors concluded that Brazilian publications are coherent with the international research considering the adoption of diffusion of innovations frameworks. Still, it has a trait of considering government support in diffusion frameworks, an absent parameter in the original frameworks; therefore, representing a development potential for diffusion of innovations researchers in Brazil.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the business model of venture builders that supports the development of startups. One in four Brazilian startups close their operations in a year. It was perceived that entrepreneurs have difficulties in accessing funding and knowledge for new business. There are studies that discuss the mechanisms that support startups, such as venture capital operations and accelerators. However, there’s few papers that discuss the business model of venture builders. This study has a qualitative approach, with a unique case study, and it has an exploratory and descriptive nature. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and documents. The technique used to analyze the results was content analysis with the software Atlas.ti. The main results were found in the four elements of the organization's business model. In value proposition, the venture builder creates value to its customer by sharing knowledge and providing financial resources. In profit formula, while the venture builder delivers value to the customer, it creates value for itself, because it becomes a shareholder of the startup. In key resources, people have an essential role in the sharing of knowledge and achieve goals. Finally, the key process involves implementation of specialized services and targeted mentoring. Thus, the main features that differentiate this business model of venture builder are the process duration, the implementation of specialized services and networking., O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o modelo de negócio das ventures builders que apoiam o desenvolvimento das startups. Uma a cada quatro startups brasileiras encerram suas atividades em um ano e o percebido é que empreendedores têm dificuldades no acesso a fontes de financiamentos e conhecimento para novos negócios. Há estudos que discutem mecanismos de apoio a startups, como operações de venture capital e atuação de aceleradoras. Porém, são escassas as pesquisas que discutem o modelo de negócio das venture builders. O estudo tem abordagem qualitativa, com caso único, de natureza exploratória e descritiva. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e documentos. A técnica de análise adotada foi a análise de conteúdo com auxílio do software Atlas.ti. Os principais resultados encontrados foram nos quatro elementos do modelo de negócio da organização. Na proposição de valor, a venture builder cria valor ao seu cliente compartilhando conhecimento e disponibilizando recursos financeiros. Na fórmula de lucro, ao mesmo tempo em que a venture builder entrega valor para o cliente, cria valor para si, pois adquire participação societária da startup. Nos recursos-chave, as pessoas têm um papel essencial para o compartilhamento de conhecimento e o alcance das metas estipuladas. Por fim, o processo-chave envolve execução de serviços especializados e mentorias direcionadas. Assim, as principais características que diferenciam o modelo de negócio da venture builder analisada são o tempo de duração do processo, a execução dos serviços operacionais e o networking.

For the photographic media, remediation between physical and digital archive became a monumental convergence of all sort of images, creating the possibilities to combine, reconnect and retrieve its meaning and authorship, and the resulting review of methods to analyse, read and make its historiography. It was in this period of transition from paper to screen that was published in Portugal an History of Photography which integrates these arguments, using a combinatorial method capable of projecting its continuous update in an hypertext version. 'Hist6ria da Imagem Fotogrdfica em Portugal 1839-1997' (Sena, 1998), applies a digital image database - 'Luzitania/ether pix database' to index and link all the images printed in the book, allowing the reader to explore aesthetic, semantic, technical, geographical and political analogies between them. Upholding a multidirectional and non-linear conception of History, it proposes a rhizomatic structure that implies a method - an history of photography as an hyperdocument - allowing the reader to view, review, compare and question the sense and notion of the historical time of the photographic image. This paper examines how digital media become an essential tool of readability and visibility of History, and how the displacement of perception provided by an hypermedia structure, reflects on dematerialization of the image, the shared notion of authorship, capable of creating a new generation of readers that think towards trajectories formed by the modern media of communication - from press to photography, from cinema to television -to the hypermodern media of computation.

RESUMO A relação entre taxa de câmbio, investimento e crescimento econômico tem sido objeto de estudo de autores de diferentes matizes teóricos, e está no centro da análise do chamado Novo Desenvolvimentismo, cujo modelo foi sistematizado recentemente por seus autores, após muitos anos trabalhando neste tema e com diversos artigos publicados em periódicos nacionais e internacionais. O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma avaliação crítica do Novo Desenvolvimentismo (DM). Conforme seu argumento central, os países em desenvolvimento apresentam apreciação crônica e cíclica da sua taxa de câmbio real que, por sua vez, impõe limites ao investimento e crescimento dos setores mais dinâmicos e de maior produtividade da economia, impedindo a convergência da renda per capita dos países em desenvolvimento e desenvolvidos. Constatamos diversas contribuições do DM à literatura, mas, também, equívocos, contradições e a necessidade de elaboração teórica em diversas áreas da economia para que seja alcançado um modelo coerente e completo, capaz de explicar as barreiras ao aumento da renda per capita nos países em desenvolvimento, como também as políticas necessárias para superá-las. ABSTRACT Authors from distinct schools have studied the relationship between the exchange rate, investment and growth. This relationship is key for the named Developmental Macroeconomics, whose leaders have just recently started to compound a systematic model evolving all the ideas they had worked out since long ago and after several papers published in Brazilian and foreign Journals. The aim of the paper is to critically assess the Developmental Macroeconomics (DM) model. DM argues that the exchange rate in the lower and medium developed economies (LME) tends to be chronically and cyclically overvalued begetting a barrier to investment and growth in the manufacturing industry, which is the best to provoke the productive enhancement of any economy, preventing the convergence of per capita income between LME and developed countries. We conclude that DM contributes to the literature in many points. Nonetheless, DM model is misleading in some points, showing some mistakes and contradictions. It yet needs fulfilling several branches to construct a full model to explain why some LME do not reach sustainable growth and do not converge their per capita incomes to that of developed economies.

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar a produção científica sobre a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) de adolescentes com diabetes mellitus tipo1. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, cujos critérios de inclusão foram artigos disponíveis na íntegra on line nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, publicados e indexados nas bases de dados Lilacs, Medline, Adolec e BDENF, no período de 2003 a 2013, e que retratassem a temática QVRS, diabetes tipo1 em adolescentes. Foram analisados 22 artigos, dos quais se extraíram os seguintes temas: construção e validação de instrumentos para mensurar a QVRS dos adolescentes diabéticos; QVRS de adolescentes com diabetes; fatores que interferem na qualidade de vida de adolescentes com diabetes e recursos utilizados para auxiliar o adolescente na gestão com o diabetes. A QVRS de adolescentes diabéticos é um tema que tem sido estudado e divulgado com frequência na literatura internacional, porém com pouca repercussão nacional. Predominaram estudos publicados em periódicos internacionais em língua inglesa. Por essa razão, entende-se que é necessário desenvolver mais pesquisas dessa natureza no Brasil, visto que a mensuração da QVRS de adolescentes diabéticos poderá auxiliar a equipe multiprofissional a planejar a assistência. Abstract This study aimed to analyze the scientific literature on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus. This is an integrative review whose inclusion criteria were full-text papers available online in Portuguese, English and Spanish; published and indexed in databases Lilacs, Medline, Adolec, BDENF, in the period 2003-2013 that reflected the theme HRQOL, Type 1 diabetes and adolescents. Twenty-two papers were analyzed, from which the following themes were retrieved: development and validation of tools to measure the HRQOL of diabetic adolescents; HRQOL of adolescents with diabetes; factors affecting the quality of life of adolescents with diabetes and resources used to assist adolescents in diabetes management. The HRQOL of adolescents with diabetes has been a widely studied and disseminated topic in international literature, but has poorly echoed in Brazil. Studies published in international journals in English predominated. Thus, we emphasize the importance of conducting research of this nature in Brazil, since the measurement of HRQOL of diabetic adolescents may help the multidisciplinary team in care planning.

To make the territory more usable for farming, rural populations used and perfected masonry walls for centuries to help organize the landscape, to establish boundaries between different landowners and to protect crops and property from animals and other external threats. In recent decades, the rural territory of Northwest Portugal undertook an irreversible transformation from a purely rural into a low-density urban land. In this process, traditional farm walls were faced with contemporary needs and population demands, which in most cases ended with demolition of the walls and their replacement by new ones. In this context, the landscape heritage value and rural identity preservation depend to a large extent on the rebuilding solutions chosen to replace the demolished wall heritage.This paper addresses the analysis of traditional schist farm walls from Northwest Portugal. The study starts by focusing on their authenticity and by identifying characteristic features, as well as analysing the existing wall typologies, morphologies and main constructive features. The schist stone used for centuries as a building raw material is characterized from the physical and mechanical points of view. A rebuilding methodology was then applied to a case study, for which different local contemporary rebuilding solutions were identified and characterized. A decision-making process was established according to specific intervention guidelines, with implementation of the chosen solution presented in detail.Finally, this paper aims also to enlighten researchers, technicians and builders to the importance and need of protecting the endangered vernacular masonry walls' heritage, and to contribute to the development of suitable rehabilitation and rebuilding solutions for similar types of interventions., This work was partially financed by FEDER funds through the Competitivity Factors Operational Programme (COMPETE) and by national funds through the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) within the scope of project POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007633. Authors wish to express their gratitude to the Barqueiros parish council and to the companies Construjouve, for their support during the construction of the wall, and Artecanter for their support with the specimens' preparation. The first author expresses his gratitude to the Portuguese Science and Technology Foundation for the scholarships granted (SFRH/BD/86704/2012)., info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

The paper focuses on how nonnative teachers of a target language (NNTs) deal with pragmatics in their classes. It starts with a discussion of what pragmatics entails. Next, issues relating to the teaching of pragmatics are identified, such as the language background of the teacher, comparisons between second- (L2) and foreign-language (FL) instruction, and the potential role of digital media and other means in providing models for pragmatic behavior. Then, an international survey is presented which probed into the experiences of NNTs of various languages while teaching the pragmatics of their language of instruction. A total of 113 teachers were asked to indicate what they taught with regard to pragmatics, 30 native-language teachers (NTs) and 83 NNTs. They were also asked to report on their experience as teachers of L2 and FL pragmatics (e.g., if they encountered classroom moments when they did not feel like an authority on some aspect of pragmatics, what they did about it). Since pragmatics is a meeting of language and culture, the teacher respondents were asked to assess their knowledge regarding pragmalinguistics (i.e., the language forms) and sociopragmatics (sociocultural knowledge). In addition, they were asked to give their opinion regarding similarities and differences between the teaching of FL as opposed to L2 pragmatics, as this traditional dichotomy gives way to a more hybrid reality in an increasingly globalized world. Similarly, they were asked about their methods for teaching pragmatics (e.g., their use of digital media and their handling of dialect differences). Finally, they were asked to suggest areas in which they would like to see research conducted that would inform the teaching of pragmatics. The paper reports the findings from the study, including statistical differences in reported teaching of criticism, sarcasm, and cursing, as well as in the use of digital media and in having students gather data on pragmatics. O artigo aborda a questão de como professores não-nativos de uma língua alvo (PNNs) lidam com a pragmática em suas salas de aula. Inicia com uma discussão sobre o que é pragmática. Em seguida, traz aspectos relacionados ao ensino de pragmática, tais como o background do professor, comparações entre ensino de segunda língua (L2) e língua estrangeira (LE) e o potencial da mídia digital e outros meios para prover modelos de comportamento pragmático. Após, é apresentada uma pesquisa internacional, a qual investigou as experiências de PNNs de várias línguas com relação ao ensino da pragmática. Um total de 113 professores relataram o que ensinavam: 30 professores nativos (PNs) e 83 professores não-nativos (PNNs). Foi solicitado a eles que falassem sobre suas experiências como professores de pragmática da L2 e LE. Sendo a pragmática uma mescla de língua e cultura, aos professores foi solicitado que avaliassem seus conhecimentos de pragmalinguística (formas linguísticas) e sociopragmática (conhecimento sociocultural). Ademais, foram instruídos a darem suas opiniões em relação a semelhanças e diferenças entre o ensino da pragmática da LE e da L2, pois essa dicotomia tradicional acarreta uma realidade mais híbrida em um mundo cada vez mais globalizado. Da mesma forma, perguntas foram feitas sobre seus métodos de ensino de pragmática, sua utilização de mídia digital e seu tratamento de diferenças dialetais. Por fim, foi-lhes solicitado que sugerissem áreas nas quais fossem desenvolvidas pesquisas sobre o ensino de pragmática. O artigo relata os resultados do estudo, incluindo dados sobre o ensino de censuras, sarcasmo e blasfêmia, além do uso de mídia digital e coleta de dados pragmáticos feita por alunos.

A partir de comparações entre diferentes suportes de expressão e de leitura, propõe-se uma reflexão sobre modos de ler e conhecer. Tomando como eixo reflexivo estudos sobre leitura e modos de enredamento subjetivo de diversos tempos cotejando-os com alguns autores e escritores modernos e contemporâneos, tematiza-se a fronteira entre mundo sensível e representação, com o objetivo de contribuir para uma crítica da apropriação de recursos midiáticos na educação. O argumento principal se estrutura a partir da premissa de que, diante do recobrimento da realidade pelas mídias contemporâneas, mais do que nunca cabe à educação preservar as possibilidades de aprender e de se apreender a partir dos incômodos do real., This paper proposes a reflection on the different ways of reading and knowing based on comparisons between different means of expression and reading. Taking studies on reading as well as modes of subjective entanglement of different times and contrasting them to some modern and contemporary scholars and writers, the paper focuses on discussing the boundary between the sensible world and its representation, in order to contribute to a more critical appropriation of media resources by the educational system. The main argument poses itself from the premise that, in face of the concealment of reality by contemporary media, it is more than ever the task of education to preserve the possibilities to learn and to grasp from the discomforts of the real.

Tendo como objetivo compreender o motivo derridiano da sobrevida, este artigo propõe a análise da concepção de morte que encontramos na obra de Jacques Derrida e do diálogo que ela estabelece com o pensamento ocidental, especificamente a respeito desse tema, em Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche etc. A discussão se concentra em duas aporias com as quais Derrida se confrontou: a aporia do relevamento[relève] e a aporia da finitude. Após examinar o lugar do pensamento derridiano da morte no âmbito da tradição filosófica, o trabalho procura mostrar que as relações de Derrida com a literatura - representada aqui pelas obras de Maurice Blanchot e Antoine Artaud - são capazes de oferecer uma espécie de resposta a essas aporias e de iluminar a visão da morte apresentada pelo filósofo francês. Dans le but de comprendre le motif derridien de la survie, cet article se consacre à l'analyse de la conception de la mort prévalant dans l'œuvre de Jacques Derrida et au dialogue que celle-ci établit avec la pensée occidentale sur ce thème (Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche etc.). La discussion se concentre sur deux apories auxquelles Derrida s'est confronté: l'aporie de la relèveet l'aporie de la finitude. Après avoir examiné la place de la pensée derridienne sur la mort dans le cadre de la tradition philosophique, on cherche à montrer que les rapports de Derrida à la littérature - représentée ici par les œuvres de Maurice Blanchot et d'Antoine Artaud - sont capables d'offrir une sorte de réponse à ces apories et de jeter de la lumière sur la vision de la mort présentée par le philosophe français. In order to understand the Derridean idea of survival, this paper analyses the concept of death developed by Jacques Derrida, as well as the dialogue that this concept establishes with western thought (Hegel, Heidegger, Nietzsche etc.). The discussion emphasizes two aporias focused by Derrida: the aporia of relève and the aporia of finitude. After examining the place of Derrida's concept of death in relation to philosophical tradition, the paper aims to show that the relations between Derrida and literature - represented here by the works of Maurice Blanchot and Antoine Artaud - are able to give a kind of reply to these aporias, as well as to clarify the idea of death presented by the French philosopher.

Se pretende argumentar que la relación entre contabilidad y auditoría se ha perdido porque los supuestos filosóficos básicos de la auditoría no se han desarrollado tanto como sus correspondientes en el campo de la contabilidad. En tanto que la contabilidad a valor razonable representa una realidad socialmente construida, la auditoría parece siempre estar fundada en la tradición positivista de la teoría de la evidencia (Cfr. Mautz y Sharaf, 1961; AAA, 1973; Flint, 1988). El resto del trabajo se focaliza en el análisis del problema de la relación perdida entre contabilidad y auditoría, problema que se ha planteado en la sección primera (status quæstionis). En primer lugar, la siguiente sección describirá brevemente la metodología utilizada para el análisis. En la tercera sección se dará una breve descripción del cambio histórico del paradigma principal de la contabilidad, que pasa de informar la verdad a informar en coherencia con los principios de contabilidad generalmente aceptados (PCGA) y los cambios correspondientes en el paradigma principal de la auditoría, desde los tiempos antiguos hasta la auditoría moderna en el siglo XIX, que culminó con la promulgación de ASOBAC. En la cuarta sección, se analizan los avances de la última o dos últimas décadas, más concretamente, el cambio de un enfoque contable basado en la correspondencia con criterios, a un enfoque contable basado en la construcción social de consenso, como puede constatarse en el giro contable a partir de la década de 1990 en adelante con el paradigma del valor razonable. Se argumentará que la auditoría no se ha modificado en consecuencia, y que este eslabón perdido entre el enfoque ontológico de la contabilidad y de la auditoría puede acarrear problemas a los académicos, emisores de normas y profesionales. El artículo concluye con estas implicaciones y la necesidad de investigación futura., We claim that the missing correspondence between accounting and auditing has come about because auditing’s basic philosophical assumptions has not been developed as much as its counterparts in the field of accounting. While fair value accounting represents a socially constructed reality, auditing still seems to be founded in the positivist tradition of evidence theory (e.g. Mautz & Sharaf, 1961; AAA, 1973; Flint, 1988). The remainder of the paper will analyze the missing correspondence between accounting and auditing, problem which has been raised in section one (status quæstionis). Firstly, the next section will shortly describe the methodology used for the analysis. Section three will give a brief overview of the historical change in the main accounting paradigm from reporting the truth to reporting in accordance with GAAP and the corresponding changes in the main auditing paradigm from ancient times until modern auditing in the nineteenth century, culminating in ASOBAC. In section four, the developments of the last decade or two are analyzed, more specifically the change in accounting’s focus from correspondence with criteria to the social construction of consensus, which can be seen in the change in accounting from the 1990s onwards to the fair value paradigm. It will be argued that auditing has not changed accordingly, and that this missing link between accounting and auditing’s ontological focus can cause problems for academics, standard-setters and practitioners. The paper will conclude with these implications and the need for future research.

Investment in strategic communication, and especially in advertising, in the fash- ion design industry remains a prerequisite for promoting the brand value. The effectiveness of brand visibility and awareness depends mostly on advertising, both in the context of fash- ion magazines and the new media, and in the context of the outdoors medium, which is si- multaneously one of the most traditional and modern means of mass communication. This paper aims to analyse and discuss both dimensions. Firstly, it aims to provide an un- derstanding of how the urban landscape is built into fashion advertising, and especially to investigate the extent to which the collective imagination contributes to that process. This research therefore seeks to identify the main landscape referents represented and search for the respective association with various cultural and artistic universes, such as literature, pho- tography or cinema. Underlying this critical reflection is an understanding that landscape is not just a simple decor, but conversely an extremely important visual and discursive re- source for the advertising message. Secondly, this paper attempts to challenge the implica- tions of fashion brands outdoor advertising specifically in relation to the urban landscape and to the everyday life experience. Therefore, it is also an important aim of this article to dis- cuss outdoor advertising within the scope of the more recent cultural and aesthetic trends. In order to achieve the stated objectives and engage in a scientific discussion of the topic, the case of the fashion brand Donna Karan New York – DKNY was selected, as it is considered to be paradigmatic of the main operational principles and hypotheses researched.

Corrigir A oferta de vagas na educação superior cresceu significativamente no Brasil, principalmente após os anos de 1990, contexto no qual as universidades públicas assumem papel relevante no tocante ao tripé ensino, pesquisa e extensão. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a percepção de docentes e de empresários sobre as atividades de extensão na Universidade Federal de Viçosa – Campus de Rio Paranaíba, em Minas Gerais, Brasil. A avaliação teve como parâmetros as diretrizes para ações de extensão universitária propostas pelo FORPROEX (Fórum de Pró-Reitores de Extensão das Universidades Públicas Brasileiras) pactuadas em 2012. A pesquisa teve caráter quantitativo e qualitativo, objetivando descrever o perfil dos respondentes (15 docentes e 20 empresários) e o significado da extensão para os mesmos, bem como, a conformidade das atividades de extensão com os objetivos do FORPROEX. A mensuração das diretrizes foi pautada em uma escala likert de 1 a 7 pontos. Quanto aos resultados, destaca-se que apenas para a diretriz Indissociabilidade Ensino-Pesquisa-Extensão ocorreram diferenças significativas das médias entre docentes e empresários. A diretriz Impacto e Transformação Social foi a de menor desempenho na avaliação dos empresários, enquanto a de maior desempenho foi a Indissociabilidade Ensino-Pesquisa-Extensão, também na avaliação dos empresários. Dentre as contribuições deste trabalho, destaca-se a possível utilização dos resultados para a avaliação de ações, políticas e diretrizes, relativas às atividades de extensão, praticadas pela Universidade, visando melhor alinhamento de interesses e expectativas entre Universidade e comunidade local. The education offering have grown significantly in Brazil, especially after the 90’s. At this context, public universities assume an important role regarding the support tripod teaching, research and extension. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the perception of teachers and entrepreneurs about the extension activities in Federal University of Viçosa - Rio Paranaíba Campus, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The evaluation had as parameters the guidelines for university extension actions proposed by FORPROEX (Brazilian Public Universities Extension Pro-Rectors Forum) agreed in 2012. The research was quantitative and qualitative, aiming to describe the profile of the respondents (15 teachers and 20 entrepreneurs) and the significance of extension for them, as well as the compliance of extension activities with the objectives of FORPROEX. The guidelines measurement was based on a Likert scale of 1 to 7 points. About the results, is important to note that only in the guideline Inseparability Teaching-Research-Extension occurred significant differences of averages between teachers and entrepreneurs, but, for the others it was not observed the same behavior. The guideline Impact and Social Transformation was the one with the lowest performance in the entrepreneurs evaluation, while the one presented the higher performance was the Inseparability Teaching-Research-Extension, also in the evaluation of entrepreneurs. Among the contributions of this paper, it should be highlighted the results for the evaluation of actions, policies and guidelines relating to extension activities, practiced by the University, to a better alignment of interests and expectations between the University and the local community.

The economic system has undergone profound transformations due to recurrent technological advances that have repercussions on the organizations. Additionally, there is a demand coming from an affluent social class that, demands a customized service. It is therefore important to develop a corporate strategy that includes differentiated products and services and a focus on the agility and reliability of the business, in accordance to the market. This paper analyses the dynamic of the high income customers perceptions regarding to the services provided by an Brazilian financial institution taking into account its institutional image and the role played by its managers. The selected model is based on a mixing of three constructs, namely the customers evaluation of institutional operating characteristics, the quality of interaction between customers and managers and the propensity to indicated new customers to the bank. The study approach is quantitative by means of a survey followed by a factorial analysis for the selection of the indicators of each of the aforementioned constructs. A multiple regression model was then estimated, having the institutional image and managers performance as predictors, using the OLS method and the ordinal logistic function. The results showed that the customers satisfaction and its propensity to indicate new customers to the bank is properly explained by two predictors as suggested by the model. Furthermore, it was identified a greater influence of the construct which depicts the managers performance. Such conclusions contain fundamental elements for the design of corporate strategies.

Current studies on factors affecting the dimensions of consumer-based brand equity have been dispersed, applicable to specific contexts and not systematized in the literature. So, the purpose of this paper is to identify and categorize factors that create, increase or decrease each of the consumer-based brand equity dimensions: brand associations, brand awareness, perceived quality and brand loyalty. The extensive analysis of literature shows that there are significant differences between factors affecting each of the brand equity dimensions. Factors that positively affect one dimension cannot have the same effect on another. Moreover, it notes that the effect of such factors is variations when analyzed in different sectors and economic contexts. The main contribution of this research lies in the fact that it provides a research panorama already conducted on factors affecting the dimensions of consumer-based brand equity, indicating a potential for development of future studies. This research also enriches the literature categorizing the factors identified in the literature in four sets that allow the future targeting studies.

RESUMO O trabalho mostra a inter-relacao do uso da expressao “parcerias” no contexto de concessoes administrativas e patrocinadas, significando a colaboracao estabelecida entre o setor publico e o privado. O instituto juridico das concessoes renova-se com a criacao do sistema de Parceria Publico-Privada. Tem como objetivo a execucao de obras, a elaboracao de projetos, financiamentos, gestao, operacoes e manutencao de servicos publicos. Busca-se com ele melhorar a prestacao dos servicos em termos de eficiencia e de resultados. Essa especie de parceira e analisada neste artigo com base nas modalidades de concessoes patrocinadas e administrativas, sua aplicabilidade em consonância com as diretrizes institucionais, bem como a importância do procedimento licitatorio. O modelo teorico proposto sugere que a adocao das parcerias publico-privadas podera ser uma das vias institucionais para a melhoria da capacidade na prestacao de servicos publicos. ABSTRACT This paper shows the term "partnerships" use on administrative and sponsored concessions meaning the collaboration established between public and private sectors. The legal concessions are renewed with Public-Private Partnership rules. The objective of this paper is to analyze execution of works, elaboration of projects, financing, management, operations and maintenance of public services. It is intended find ways to improve the service success in terms of efficiency and better results. Partnership is analyzed based on modalities of sponsored and administrative concessions, their applicability according to institutional guidelines and the importance of bidding procedure. The theoretical model proposed suggests that the adoption of Public-Private Partnerships could be one institutional way to improve the capacity to provide public services.

A questão informacional permeia as mais diversas áreas do conhecimento. Em relação ao ambiente industrial, elevados custos são imputados à indústria em virtude de deficiências no ciclo informacional e no de mercadorias. Falhas ocasionam interrupções e rupturas nesses ciclos, reduzindo a competitividade das organizações. O trabalho debruça-se sobre a possibilidade de categorizar essas falhas na cadeia de suprimentos. O objetivo principal é, a partir de um olhar da Ciência da Informação (CI), propor uma taxonomia para as falhas existentes, tendo por base os seguintes objetivos: (i) identificar as principais falhas nas cadeias de suprimentos evidenciadas na literatura; (ii) posicionar cada falha dentro do fluxo logístico e informacional, e (iii) agrupar, organizar e hierarquizar essas falhas. Trata-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica, exploratória e qualitativa. Os resultados obtidos permitem afirmar que existem diversas similaridades nos termos que definem os locais e a origem das ocorrências de falhas, assim como, a percepção de que, com base na taxonomia proposta, há elevados riscos de interrupções e rupturas na cadeia de suprimentos. Finalmente, com o trabalho, espera-se contribuir com a ampliação da compreensão das falhas que acometem diversas organizações e, igualmente, com a geração de conhecimento para discussões futuras que envolvam as cadeias de suprimentos e a Ciência da Informação. Há um vasto espaço de colaboração no que tange à questão informacional na cadeia de suprimentos, que ainda não está devidamente preenchido pela CI. Neste sentido, este trabalho pretende, também, contribuir para diminuir um pouco tal lacuna., The informational question permeates the most diverse areas of knowledge. Regarding the industrial environment, high costs are attributed to the industry due to deficiencies in the informational and in the merchandise cycles. Failures cause disruption by reducing the competitiveness of organizations. This paper aims to categorize these supply chain failures. The main objective is, based on an Information Science (CI) perspective, to propose a taxonomy for existing flaws, based on the following objectives: (i) identify the main faults in the supply chains evidenced in the literature; (ii) position each fault within the logistical and informational flow, and (iii) group, organize and hierarchize these failures. This is a bibliographical, exploratory and qualitative research. The results allow us to affirm that there are several similarities that define the locations and origin of failure occurrences, as well as the perception that, based on the proposed taxonomy, there are high risks of interruptions and ruptures in the supply chain. Finally, with this paper, we hope to contribute to a broader understanding of the failures of various organizations and to the generation of knowledge for future discussions involving supply chains and Information Science. There is a vast space of collaboration on the informational issue in the supply chain, which is not yet adequately filled by CI. In this sense, this work also intends to contribute to reduce this gap a little.

This paper discusses the literalization of the metaphor of the body politic in contemporary urban fantasy. The body politic is one of the master tropes through which urban experience has been traditionally represented in literature, political discourse, and social studies. Urban fantasy transforms this metaphor into part of the fictional world of the text, thereby laying bare its cultural connotations, which are predominantly negative and dystopian. Thus a monstrous body is created, which is not that of an individual but rather of the city as a whole. The paper discusses three main registers of representing the monstrous urban body in fantasy: the dark city; the city-as-machine; and the city-as-organism. Each register is illustrated with a range of literary and cinematic examples.

Com a proposta de analisar as principais características de narradores contemporâneos, esta dissertação parte de um corpus de seis originais recusados para publicação pela Companhia das Letras em 2014. O processo analítico se dá por meio das escolhas sintáticas, da voz narrativa, dos jargões e muletas narrativas (palavras, expressões, metáforas desgastadas), da originalidade, ritmo, verossimilhança, metáforas, diálogos e precisão. As características foram coletadas e classificadas entre 2009 e 2015, a partir da leitura de originais submetidos para publicação pela editora. Ao longo do processo de leitura e avaliação, cinco tipos narrativos apareceram com mais frequência, que deu origem a uma tipologia de narradores sistematizados em suas peculiaridades. Esses narradores, nomeados como Saudosista, Comedido, Poético, Esnobe e Autobiográfico são examinados do ponto de vista do editor, da estilística, da complexidade do romance, da crítica textual e da análise do discurso de Bakhtin. Com a leitura crítica de ensaios de Erich Auerbach, Bakhtin, Tchekhov, H. S. Becker, Steven Pinker, Francine Prose, Stephen King David Lodge, Schopenhauer e José Luiz Fiorin, esse trabalho tenta responder por que tantos autores estreantes se amparam em recursos narrativos de pouca força expressiva e em falsas premissas sobre o que seria a \"boa literatura\". Os resultados apontam para narradores que desconhecem a diferença entre estar apto para se comunicar em uma língua ou usá-Ia como instrumento estilístico. Somado a isso, há a complexidade do romance, um gênero que contempla inúmeras possibilidades e por isso dificulta as decisões assertivas; os resultados mostram ainda que os narradores se amparam na crítica literária antiga e em sua definição sobre o que vem a ser a boa literatura - dogmática, absoluta, inacessível e produzida por um grupo restrito de autores; por último, apoiando-se na teoria de Bakhtin, que defende que todo discurso é político, e por isso moldado pelas relações de poder, os narradores usam a narrativa obscura e palavrosa para camuflar inseguranças ou se proteger de possíveis críticas. From a corpus of six manuscripts which had been turned down for publication by Companhia das Letras in 2014, this paper analyzes the main characteristics of contemporary narrators based on their syntactic choices, narrative voice, jargon and crutches, originality, rhythm, verisimilitude, metaphors, dialogues and precision. The classification was achieved from the reading of manuscripts submitted for publication at Companhia das Letras by their authors from 2009 to 2015. While sorting these texts, five narrative types appeared more frequently and, therefore, a typology of narrators was created to systematize these narrative voices and their peculiarities. The narrators, named as Nostalgic, Moderate, Poetic, Snobbish, and Autobiographical are examined from the point of view of the editor, and through stylistics, for the complexity of the novel, textual criticism, and using Bakhtin\'s discourse analysis. With the help of the essays by Erich Auerbach, Bakhtin, Chekhov, H. S. Becker, Steven Pinker, Francine Prose, Stephen King, David Lodge, Schopenhauer and José Luiz Fiorin, this paper attempts to answer why so many authors rely on fragile stylistic resources of little expressive force and on false premises about good literature and the art of narration. The results point to narrators who do not know the difference between being able to communicate in a given language and using it as a stylistic instrumento Added to this, there is the complexity of the novel, a genre that contemplates endless possibilities and therefore turn assertive decisions more difficult. The study yet shows that narrators rely on an old idea of what good literature is - dogmatic, incomprehensible, complex, inaccessible and produced by a small group of writers. Lastly, also according to Bakhtin\'s theory, which states that every discourse is political and therefore molded by the power relations, the narrators use obscure and wordy narratives to disguise insecurities or feel protected from possible criticism.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a prática gerencial do que se chama aqui gestão da criatividade, a partir do indivíduo em seu grupo, do processo de liderança e da cultura. Essa gestão se baseia na visão de deliberação de dirigentes com ações orquestradas para ampliar a criatividade coletiva. A literatura ressalta a importância da criatividade, vista como um processo gerenciável capaz de incrementar o ato de inovar, na consolidação da inovação organizacional, e enfatiza o valor da inovação no alcance da vantagem competitiva. Contudo, ainda existem lacunas na literatura. Dessa forma, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, por meio do uso de entrevistas com gestores do setor da economia criativa, a partir da perspectiva da análise de conteúdo. Os respondentes interpretaram que a atividade econômica baseada na criatividade requer novos valores e novas práticas. Os resultados evidenciaram as práticas gerenciais como gestões da criatividade, com ações envolvendo o indivíduo, o líder e a cultura organizacional. A contribuição dessa pesquisa na prática gerencial é dispor um conhecimento capaz de alavancar a vantagem competitiva e, no âmbito acadêmico, disponibilizar novas conexões teóricas para o avanço do campo da inovação. Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the management practice of what is named here as creativity management, based on the individual in his/her group, the leadership process and culture. This management is based on the deliberation of leaders with actions arranged towards increasing collective creativity. The literature highlights the importance of creativity, seen as a manageable process able to enhance the act of innovating, in the consolidation of organizational innovation and emphasizes innovation's value in achieving competitive advantage. However, there are still gaps in the literature. Therefore, an exploratory and descriptive research was conducted through interviews with managers from the creative economy sector, from the perspective of content analysis. Informants interpreted economic activity based on creativity as needing new values and practices.

Brazil has a huge area with constant and long solar exposition. The country is already facing some energy bottlenecks and need to expand its energy matrix. In this context the implementation of photovoltaic solar panels, in houses’ rooftops, is a viable initiative that should be encouraged by government. This paper proposes a public policy intervention to incentive the use of photovoltaic solar panels. It provides an analysis of Brazilian background, further consumption and planning, the policy intervention, the needed tools, political feasibility and implementation. The logic model will be used showing the main inputs, activities and results. The data was collected from official sources. The main limitation is the missing mathematical approach in the cost-benefit analysis that can be extended in the future. The paper presents a new approach to the energetic problem in Brazil and shows that the proposal is feasible with some goodwill from authorities.
