Based on premise of importance of optimizing the value chain and introducing lean thinking in companies, this work focuses on answering the following research question: would it be possible to identify possible improvement points even in a coffee company which already uses as a production system the Make to Order (MTO), by means of application of the VSM tool? For this, it was adopted, as a general objective, application of the value stream mapping tool (VSM), characterizing Takt Time as a performance parameter in a coffee sector company, and specifically, one sought to identify the main metrics by the Takt Time tool in order to assess its relevance in production planning. As a methodology, this research is characterized as exploratory-quantitative and is based on two aspects, in the first, the literature review and in the second, the application of a case study in a company which adopts the Make to Order manufacturing system as a strategy (MTO). As a result, by means of analysis of the current VSM and the takt time, it was possible to develop a New VSM that was converted into effective gains for the company and increased efficiency of its production line, with a reduction of the average cycle time by 15%.

The omnipresence of television in children's lives represents a potential risk to their health because, in addition to influencing inappropriate eating habits, has often been presented as a sedentary activity, causing a number of problems that compromise their correct growth and development. The aim of this paper is to systematically review the literature on the influence of television exposure on children's food intake. A literature search was performed on the Pubmed and Web of Science databases, which included all publications available between January 2008 and December 2018, and met the inclusion criteria: articles that included children aged 6 to 11 years; to evaluate the influence of television exposure on children's food consumption; about television programming and full text articles published in English, Spanish and Portuguese. After reading titles, abstracts and applying criteria, 12 articles were obtained from a total of 2091. It was found that television exposure induced a low consumption of fruit and vegetables (33.3% and 41,7% of the studies, respectively) highlighting the main causes of excessive television viewing time, television viewing during meals and existence of television in the room. The high consumption of sugary products stood out in 50,0% of the studies, followed by chips (41,7%), salty snacks, processed products and fast food, in 25,0%. As for drink intake, the most consumed were drinks with added sugar, the majority of wich (50,0% of the studies) related the high consumption with excessive television viewing time, television viewing during meals and existence of television in the bedroom. However, the high consumption of sugar and fat was related to television exposure. It was found that television exposure is negatively associated with the consumption of fruit and vegetable and positively associated with products with a high content of sugar, fat and salt. In this sense, to reinforce research on the influence of television exposure on children's food consumption, with the implementation of mitigation measures where the importance of healthy children's nutrition is emphasized.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the transformation of property rights in the process of formation and reproduction of coffee farms in Valença in the period following the enactment of the Land Law of 1850. To this end, we will analyze a case study involving a 'mega-owner', that farmer who owned more than 100 captives and several rural properties according to the classification of Ricardo Salles, and a community of 'posseiros' that were incorporated into the farm as 'agregados' at the time of transformation of virgin forest into coffee plantations. We will evaluate the main changes in the relationship between the farmer and the 'agregados', especially when the farmer decided to expropriate them at the same time as he steadied into partnership agreements with foreign immigrants. We believe that the case analyzed may reveal important conclusions for us to understand how large coffee farms were formed, starting from the analytical perspective that values the understanding of conflicts over property rights in 19th century Brazil.
