This paper suggests an analysis of "Inanimate Alice" by Kate Pullinger, Chris Joseph and Ian Harper as an example of a transmedia narrative that triggers a new reading experience whilst proposing a literary alterity between reading and performance. Narrative experiences that elect the visual plasticity, interchanging games and tactility as drivers of the creative process are not new. Yet, narrative experiences, which have been created in the gap between reality and fiction, have found on the digital realm the perfect environment to multiple hybrid experiences. Bearing in mind Walter Benjamin’s concept of Erlebnis and Erfahrung, a critical analysis of this digital fiction tries to illustrate how literary art finds its space and time in a metamorphosed continuum only activated by the “patient reader”. All the multimedia hybrids, which this digital literary work may have, challenge readers to interpret different signals and poetic structures that most of readers might not be accustomed to; however even among a cognitive dissonance, meaning is found and reading happens only if time, space and attention are available. All possible transmedia literacies can only respond to this experience of online reading, if they are able to focus and draw attention not to a simple new behaviour or a single new practice, but to a demanding state of affairs that assemble different objective and subjective value forms.

This paper studies all equity firms and shows which are in US firms, the main drivers of zero-debt policy. I analyze 6763 U.S. listed companies in years 1987-2009, a total of 77442 firms year. I find that financial constrained firms show a higher probability to become unlevered. In the opposite side, firms producing high cash flow are also likely to become unlevered, paying their debt. Some firms create economies of scale in the use of funds, increasing the probability of become unlevered. The industry characteristics are also important to explain the zero-debt policy. However is the high perception of risk, the most important factor influencing this extreme behavior, which is consistent with trade-off theory.

A dissertação procura compreender de que maneira a frequência da criança numa escola pública ou numa escola privada, poderá afetar o desenvolvimento dos indicadores de resiliência definidos (autonomia e capacidades de interação social) e a sua vinculação aos pais. O presente estudo realizou-se em três escolas do primeiro ciclo com jardim de infância, duas das quais pertenciam ao ensino público e uma ao ensino privado. A revisão da literatura, exposta nos vários capítulos, apresenta a visão de diversos investigadores sobre a problemática da relação entre o desenvolvimento dos indicadores de resiliência definidos, a maneira como as crianças criam as suas relações de vinculação, focando as diferenças relativamente à frequência em rede pública ou rede privada. Por se tratar de um estudo comparativo, foi escolhida uma metodologia quantitativa. Procedeu-se, em seguida, a uma análise qualitativa dos resultados obtidos em algumas variáveis. O estudo conclui que não se verificam diferenças significativas no que diz respeito aos resultados obtidos pelas crianças relativamente às variáveis em estudo, com exceção do indicador de resiliência “capacidades de interação social”. Este estudo também nos mostra que existem várias variáveis a ter em conta para compreender a resiliência e a relação entre as variáveis, nomeadamente, as qualificações dos prestadores de cuidados. Sugere-se a continuação do trabalho iniciado, avaliando a vinculação e os indicadores de resiliência estudados (autonomia e capacidades de interação social) destas mesmas crianças, no futuro. Sugere-se ainda a realização de outros estudos, dentro da mesma área, que possam aprofundar a influência das diversas variáveis que dizem respeito ao contexto socioeconómico e sociodemográfico onde as crianças estão inseridas e ver de que maneira estes afetam as variáveis estudadas neste trabalho. - Abstract The dissertation sought to understand how child‟s frequency in a public or a private school, can affect the development of resilience indicators defined (autonomy and capabilities social interaction capabilities) and their connection to parents. This study was conducted in three primary schools with kindergarten, two of which belonged to public education and one to private education. The literature review, exposed in several chapters, presents the view of many researchers on the issue of the relationship between the development of resilience indicators defined, the way children create their linking relations, focusing on the differences in the frequency on public or private school. Since this is a comparative study, a quantitative methodology was chosen. Then we‟ve proceeded to a qualitative analysis of the results obtained on some variables. The study concludes that there are no significant differences with regard to the results obtained by children, for the variables under study except for the indicator of resilience “capabilities of social interaction”. This study also shows that there are several variables to take into account to understand the resilience and the relation between variables, namely, the qualifications of care providers. It is suggested to continue the work begun by evaluating the binding and resilience indicators studied (autonomy and social interaction skills) of these same children in the future. It is also suggested in other studies within the same area, which may deepen the influence of several variables that relate to socio-demographic and socio-economic context where children are located and see how they affect the variables studied in this work
