ESTUDO DA EFICÁCIA ADAPTATIVA DE HERDEIROS DE EMPRESA FAMILIAR

O presente trabalho visa estudar a eficácia adaptativa dos herdeiros de empresa familiar, segundo a teoria da adaptação de Ryad Simon. Os objetivos foram: 1. investigar a eficácia adaptativa dos herdeiros de empresa familiar; 2. descrever aspectos da dinâmica adaptativa dos herdeiros; 3. descrever aspectos da dinâmica familiar internalizada pelos herdeiros de cada família; 4. investigar as repercussões obtidas pela análise da eficácia adaptativa de cada herdeiro no contexto da empresa familiar. O método utilizado foi clínico e a técnica, a entrevista clínica preventiva. Foram entrevistados sete herdeiros de duas diferentes empresas familiar, todos os herdeiros atuam profissionalmente nelas. Os dados das entrevistas foram avaliados clinicamente por meio da Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada (EDAO), e análise dos fatores, segundo Teoria da Evolução da Adaptação, de Ryad Simon. Os resultados encontrados foram: 72% (5 herdeiros) encontraram-se classificados no grupo 4 Adaptação Ineficaz Severa, 14% (1 herdeiro) no grupo 5 Adaptação Ineficaz Grave, e 14% (1herdeiro) no grupo 3 Adaptação Ineficaz Moderada em CRISE. Na análise destes resultados verificou-se a importância central do setor Afetivo-Relacional, 100% dos herdeiros foram classificados com respostas pouquíssimo adequadas, e o que mesclou as diferentes classificações, descritas acima, foi no setor Produtividade. Frente a este diagnóstico percebemos a importância das relações com a figura paterna, presente tanto no lar como na empresa. Na análise dos herdeiros e da dinâmica das duas famílias concluímos que quando a figura paterna comporta-se de forma onipotente e insubstituível, não permite que os filhos cresçam e busquem satisfação no que produzem. Diferente de quando este pai consegue colocar limites, mas gradativamente delega responsabilidades aos filhos, demonstrando confiar neles. Esta postura facilita o encontro da satisfação na área produtiva. Neste estudo ficou evidente que a dinâmica familiar estende-se até a empresarial, desta forma em uma das famílias, cujo pai foi capaz de delegar aos filhos o poder na empresa, a dinâmica na empresa parece ser saudável, permeada por impulsos construtivos. Enquanto a outra, cujo pai mantém o poder na empresa, parece estar muito doente, predominando os impulsos destrutivos na família com repercussão, também, na empresa.

Imunidade recíproca e livre concorrência: considerações acerca de sua fruição por empresas estatais

This study begins with a brief overview of tax immu nities in general, dealing with the concept, legal, doctrinal ratings and limits. Then enters into the reciprocal immunity, since its birth in the United States, its justifica tions, until her current developments in the Brazilian Supreme Court, which has expanded it quite considerably. That Court has extended to state owned enterprises, even if pa id by public prices or rates, or if acts somewhat away from its essential functions, es pecially if they are public services provider. Given this linkage, these are also treate d in own topic, grounded in newer doctrinal proposals and less attached to historical formalisms (see such Supremacy of Public Interest over Private one). Public services are approached in its diversity, oblivious to traditional monolithic nature and accu stomed to the modern doctrine of fundamental human rights. It deals also the princip les of free enterprise and free competition, given that the public service provider s have lived intensely in this environment, be they public or private agents. In d ialectical topic, these institutes are placed in joint discussion, all in an attempt to in vestigate their interactions and propose criteria less generic and removed from real ity, to assess the legitimacy of the mutual enjoyment of immunity by certain agents. Sev eral cases of the Court are analyzed individually, checking in each one the app lication of the proposed criteria, such logical-deductive activity and theory of pract ice approach. At the end, the conclusions refer to a reciprocal immunity less rhe torical and ideological and more pragmatic and consequentialist. It is proposed the end to the general rules or abstract formulas of subsumption, with concerns on the one h and the actual maintenance of the federal pact, and on the other by a solid econo mic order without inapt advantages to certain players, which flatly contradicts the co nstitutional premises.

Construção de um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem para aplicação do processo de enfermagem baseado na Nanda International, NOC, NIC e CIPE®

This study aimed to build a virtual learning environment for application of the nursing process based on the NANDA-I, NOC, NIC and ICNP® . Faced with problems related to learning of the nursing process and classifications, there is an urgent need to develop innovative teaching resources that modify the relationship between students and teachers. The methodology was based on the steps inception, development, construction and transition, and the software development process Rational Process Unifield. The team involved in the development of this environment was composed by researchers and students of The Care and Epidemiological Practice in Health and Nursing and Group of the Software Engineering curse of the Federal University Rio Grande do Norte, with the participation of the Lisbon and Porto Schools of Nursing, in Portugal. In the inception stage the inter research communication was in order to define the functions, features and tools for the construction process. In the preparation, step the planning and modeling occurred, which resulted in the creation of a diagram and a architectural drawings that specify the features and functionality of the software. The development, unit testing and integrated in interfaces of the modules and areas (administrator, teacher, student, and construction of the NP). Then the transition step was performed, which showed complete and functioning system, as well as the training and use by researchers with its use in practice. In conclusion, this study allowed for the planning and the construction of an educational technology, and it is expected that its implementation will trigger a substantial change in the learning of the nursing process and classifications, with the student being active agent of the learning process. Later, an assessment will be made of functional performance, which will enable the software development, with a feedback, correction of defects and necessary changes. It is believed that the software increment after the reviews, this tool grow further and help insert this methodology and every language under the educational and health institutions, promoting paradigmatic desired change by nursing.

Avaliação do desenvolvimento infantil e a influência dos fatores biopsicossociais em crianças com cardiopatia congênita

Child development is the result of the interaction of biological, psychological and social factors. Hostile environment, income, offered stimuli, as well as the presence of a chronic illness are issues that may interfere significantly. Considering the chronic diseases, we can identify congenital heart disease (CHD) is characterized by anatomical heart defects and functional and currently has presented an incidence of up to 1% of the population of live births. This research aimed to evaluate child development and verify an association with the commitment by biopsychosocial factors of children with and without CHD. Study participants were children from zero to six years, divided into three groups: Group1- 29 children pre-surgical congenital heart disease, Group2- 43 children post-surgical cardiac patients and Group3- 56 healthy children. The instruments used were a biopsychosocial questionnaire and the Screening Test Denver II. Of the total of 128 children evaluated, 66 (51.56%) are girls, and ages ranged from two months to six years (median 24.5 months). In G1 and G2 predominated acyanotic heart disease (55.2% and 58.1%). Regarding the Denver II reviews, children with heart disease had more development ratings "suspicious" and "suspect/abnormal", and 41.9% of children who have gone through surgery had characterized its development as "suspect/abnormal" . In the group of healthy children 53.6% were classified as developmental profile "normal" (p = ˂0,0001). On the areas of Denver II, among children with heart disease was greatest change in motor areas (p = 0.016, p = ˂0,001). The biopsychosocial variables that were related to a possible developmental delay were gender (p = 0.042), child's age (p = 0.0001) and income per capita (p = 0.019). There were no associations between the variables related to the treatment of disease, information, understanding of the disease and the way parents treat their children. In the group of healthy children showed that children who underwent hospitalization rates were more changes in development (p = 0.025) and the higher the number of admissions over these changes have intensified (p = 0.023). The results suggest that children with congenital heart disease have likely delayed development. It was also observed that there is a significant difference between the children who have gone through surgery, those who are still waiting for surgery only doing clinical follow-up. Changes in the development are more connected motor areas can be explained by the characteristic features of the disease and treatment, such as dyspnea, fatigue, care and limitations in daily activities. The gender and age appear to be decisive in the development as well as healthy children go through hospitalization experience. Already in children with heart disease, it was realized that social variables involved in the disease and the treatment did not affect the development. This question can be understood by means of protective factors and resiliency, as this population receives family and social support.

Direitos fundamentais sociais no Brasil: desafios e mecanismos para sua concretização

The work referred to above, in order to contribute to the legal issues, economic, political and social of the violation of social rights, performs even firmer approach to various implementation mechanisms of social rights in Brazil. Therefore, it begins the study dealing with aspects and important characters of the rights under discussion, as its normative forecast, concept, classifications; respect of social rights with the existential minimum; the principle of reservation of the possible and the need to use this principle as optimization commandment of state resources and the deficit of the realization of social rights in the country. This, in later chapters, in an interdisciplinary approach, challenges and proposals for the realization of social rights by bringing in each chapter, mechanisms for such implementation. That way, as a general objective, it has been to contribute to the discussed problems, when present proposals for the realization of social rights in the Brazilian context. As specific objectives, as well as record the key aspects of the rights in allusion, the one has to promote the perspective of economic development and taxation as posts instruments that the State must be focused on the promotion of social rights by registering in this context that nonexistent economic development without reducing poverty, misery and social inequality and adding that there should be a directly proportional relationship between the tax burden in the country and the human and social development index; analyze the achievement of budget control as essential and healthy measure for the realization of social rights; highlight the importance of society to the achievement of unavailable social interests, affirming the need for the implementation of participatory democracy and, in this line, brings knowledge of the Constitution and the constitutional sense as elements that provide the constitutional progress. Finally, it presents a study on public policies, considering that these are equivalent to the primary means of the promotion of social rights. That way it analyzes the stages that integrate public policies, ranging from the perception of social problems for evaluation and control of the policies implemented; debate about the administrative discretion in when it comes to public policies; brings the classification of essential public policies, the relationship of these with the existential minimum, control parameters and, finally, the legalization of public policy, regarded as legitimate to remedy the unconstitutional state failure and give normative effectiveness and strength to the defining constitutional rules for fundamental social rights. It uses to achieve the objectives outlined, the bibliographic and normative approach method and performs an analysis of jurisprudence related understandings to matter. In the conclusions, it rescues the most important aspects elucidated at work, with the aim of giving emphasis to the proposals and mechanisms that contribute to the solution of the discussed problems.

Validação de espécies de Centropomus (Centropomidae, Perciformes) do litoral do Rio Grande do Norte através de caracterização citogenética e molecular

The Centropomidae family consists of three genera, Centropomus, Lates and Psammoperca. Centropomus is the most diverse group, with six Centropomus species occur in the Western Atlantic Ocean C. poeyi Chávez, 1961, C. parallelus Poey, 1860, C. mexicanus Bocourt, 1868, C. pectinatus Poey, 1860 and C. ensiferus Poey, 1860. Some of these species are considered cryptic, because of its morphological traits showed low resolution for identification purposes. Despite showing great interest as a natural resource and fish culture, aspects of their diversity and karyotypic patterns are poorly understood. In this work morphological identification and comparison of mitochondrial 16S gene sequence were used to identify the species of the genus Centropomus occurring in Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil. Two sepecies were identified, C. undecimalis and C. mexicanus, which had the chromosomal aspects analyzed, through Classical cytogenetic method analyzes (conventional staining, C-banding, Ag-NORs), fluorochrome staining AT- and GC-specific, replication bands by incorporating of the base analog 5-Bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (5-BrdU), in situ chromosomal mapping of (TTAGGG)n sequences and in situ chromosome mapping 18S and 5S rRNA genes. Both species show 2n=48 acrocentric chromosomes, with ribosomal sites (Ag-NOR/18S rDNA/ Mitramycin+) in second chromosomal pair, in telomeric position on the long arm in C. mexicanus and interstitial in C. undecimalis. The nuclear organization pair (pair 2) shown a resolutive cytotaxonomic marker for these two species. The generated data reveal a lower species diversity than previously believed, suggesting that greater attention should be paid in taxonomic identification of the species, in view of optimize commercial actions exploitation, biological conservation and cultivation.

Análise da imunoexpressão de OCT4 e CD44 em neoplasias de glândulas salivares menores e maiores

Salivary gland neoplasms exhibit a wide variety of biological behavior and a high morphological diversity raises the interest in researching these lesions. The stem cells are the main source for the generation and maintenance of cell diversity, disorders in the regulation of these cells can lead to the production of altered stem cells, termed cancer stem cells capable of generate the tumor. Researches on cancer stem cells and associated proteins have been developed in some oral cancers; however, their role in salivary gland neoplasms is not well established. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the tumor parenchyma cells exhibiting stem cell characteristics, by evaluating the immunoreactivity of OCT4 and CD44, in a number of cases of salivary gland neoplasms. The sample consisted of 20 pleomorphic adenomas, 20 mucoepidermoid carcinomas and 20 adenoid cystic carcinoma located in minor and major salivary glands. The expression of OCT4 and CD44 was evaluated by the percentage of positive cells (PP) and the intensity of expression (IE), it is realized the sum of the scores, resulting in the total score immunostaining (PIT) ranging 0-7. All studied cases showed positive expression of OCT4 and CD44 and higher values than the control groups. It was observed that for OCT4 luminal cells and non-luminal were immunostained in the case of pleomorphic adenomas and adenoid cystic carcinoma. Already the immunoreactivity of CD44 was particularly evident in the non-luminal cells of these lesions. In mucoepidermoid carcinomas for both markers, there was immunoreactivity in squamous and intermediate cells and absence of staining mucous cells. For both markers, a statistically significant higher immunostaining was verified in neoplasms located in the major salivary glands compared with lesions in the minor salivary (p<0.001). At the total sample and in the group of minor salivary glands, malignant neoplasms exhibited higher immunoreactivity for OCT4 than pleomorphic adenoma. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the lesions and between their classifications histomorphologic. Analyzing the correlation between OCT4 and CD44 immunoexpressions, a statistically significant moderate positive correlation (r = 0.444) was observed. The high expression of OCT4 and CD44 may indicate that these proteins play an important role in identifying cancer stem cells, allowing a prediction of biological behavior of salivary gland neoplasms.

Relação entre a cárie precoce da infância com o índice de Apgar e outros fatores de risco

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the association of early childhood caries (ECC) with the Apgar score (AS) and other variables related to the child (conditions at birth and medical history) and related to the child and parents and / or guardians and family (demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral). One hundred and twenty healthy children aged between 3-5 years-old treated by Pediatric Dentistry Area of Dentistry College of the Federal University of Uberlandia during 2015 were selected. To obtain qualitative and quantitative variables a questionnaire was applied as an interview to the parents and/or guardians. The 5-minute AS (interest exposure) was obtained through the record in the Child Health Handbook. To assess the prevalence of caries (clinical dependent variable), a single calibrated researcher conducted the clinical examination, according to the criteria of the World Health Organization. Caries experience was measured using the indexes dmft and dmfs. The children were classified into three groups, according to age and dmfs index: no caries (NC), with ECC and with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC). Data were tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis using the SPSS software (IBM, Inc, Chicago, Illinois, USA) 17th version. Three logistics models were carried out having the following classifications: NC and ECC, NC and S-ECC, ECC and S-ECC (p<0.05). The overall ECC prevalence, considering children with ECC and S-ECC, was 55,8% (n= 67). The AS was not a statistically significant variable. The child’s age, weaning age and recent hospitalization were variables associated with the ECC prevalence. The age of brush start and the educational level of the mother were variables associated with the S-ECC prevalence. Considering the ECC and the S-ECC groups, the child's age and the beginning of the use of fluoride toothpaste, recent hospitalization, the educational level of the mother and the father's income were associated with the S-ECC prevalence. Considering the methodology employed and the analysis of results, it was concluded that there was no association between the ECC with the AS in healthy children. However, an association was found of ECC and S-ECC with some variables related to birth and to medical history of the child (recent hospitalization), demographic (child’s age), socioeconomic (educational level of the mother and father's income) and behavioral (age of brush start, weaning age and use of fluoride toothpaste) related to children and to the parents and/or guardians.

COMUNICAÇÃO E MARKETING NA EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR: uma análise dos conteúdos comunicacionais online de instituições de ensino privadas

O presente contexto mercadológico da educação superior, onde a concorrência é cada vez mais acirrada, tem levado as instituições de ensino a estabelecer um processo de gestão de comunicação e marketing mais estratégico e competitivo, buscando alcançar uma posição diferenciada em relação à concorrência, a fim de conquistar seus públicos de interesse. Este trabalho contemplou a aplicação dos objetivos de comunicação no mercado de ensino superior, analisando as formas pelas quais as instituições vêm estabelecendo os processos comunicacionais com seus públicos-alvo, estando direcionado para as Universidades privadas brasileiras. A pesquisa se apóia em: revisão bibliográfica, entrevistas em profundidade com gestores de comunicação e marketing do setor pesquisado e análise de conteúdo de peças de comunicação em mídia online. Inicialmente foi elaborado um relato acerca do contexto atual do mercado de ensino superior no Brasil: sua evolução e caracterização. Em seguida, definiu-se marketing aplicado ao segmento de educação superior: conceitos e o papel designado a ele. Posteriormente relacionou-se comunicação mercadológica com o serviço de educação superior e sua aplicabilidade neste setor. Depois, foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade - semiestruturadas, com gestores de comunicação e marketing de duas instituições, localizadas na cidade de São Paulo (Insper e Universidade São Judas Tadeu) com posicionamentos antagônicos e classificações distintas quanto à sua imagem para o mercado -, com a finalidade de conhecer suas visões e opiniões sobre o mercado e as ações de comunicação de marketing que vêm adotando. Finalmente, foi elaborada análise de contéudo, comparando anúncios (peças publicitárias) em mídia online das duas IES estudadas. Todos os procedimentos da análise de contéudo foram estabelecidos e categorizados com base nos objetivos de comunicação definidos por Yanaze (2011).

Inteligência Emocional e Desempenho Académico em Estudantes do Ensino Superior

A presente investigação examina o papel da inteligêncial emocional (IE) no desempenho académico, numa amostra de 111 estudantes em frequência do ensino universitário português. No presente trabalho faz-se uma revisão bibliográfica do tema da IE e dos factores contributivos para o desempenho académico, bem como uma breve visita a outros trabalhos desenvolvidos nesta área de investigação. Para medição da IE assumiu-se o modelo misto, tendo-se avaliado as seguintes seis dimensões: 1) auto-encorajamento (uso das emoções); 2) compreensão das emoções próprias; 3) autocontrolo perante as críticas; 4)compreensão das emoções dos outros; 5) empatia e contágio emocional; 6) autocontrolo emocional (regulação das emoções). O desempenho académico foi calculado a partir das médias das classificações obtidas pelos estudantes no final do primeiro semestre do ano lectivo 2009/2010. Os resultados evidenciam que os alunos com melhores desempenhos académicos denotam níveis superiores de inteligência emocional, se bem que não foram encontradas associações significativas entre a IE e o desempenho académico, sugerindo a necessidade de mais estudos com vista ao aprofundamento desta jovem e controversa área de pesquisa. / The research investigates the role of emotional intelligence (EI)in academic achivement in a sample of 111 students that attend Portuguese universities. In this work we review the issue of EI and the factors that contibute to academic achievement, at the same time making a brief visit to other works done on this area. In order to measure EI, the mixed model was used, evaluating through the following six dimensions: 1) self-encouragement (use of emotions); 2) understanding of self emotions; 3) self-control in response to criticism; 4) understanding of emotions in others; 5) empathy and emotional contagion; 6) emotional self-control (regulation of emotions). Academic achievement was evaluated by the average of the grades obtained by the students at the end of the first semester of the academic year 2009/2010. The results show that students with better academic outcomes demonstrate higher emotional intelligence, though there were no significative associations between EI and academic achievement, suggesting the need for further studies in order to deepen this young and controversial area of research.

Visitabilidade-vivenciabilidade em assentamentos informais : um estudo da acessibilidade de percursos urbanos no Conjunto Santa Terezinha em Fortaleza-CE

This research approaches the issue of accessibility in informal settlements, seeking for the challenges and limits defined by informal urban settings, about the application of accessibility parameters. Take the empirical universe as the Conjunto Santa Terezinha, located in Fortaleza- Ce. Initially, the study presents a reflection about the housing issue in Brazil and the informal settlementes in view of the Right to the City. In this sense, the main references are, the works of Suzanne Pasternak (2008), Nabil Bonduki (1998) and Erminia Maricato (1996-97), among others. Follows with the discussion of the concepts and classifications of this type of settlement, making a content analysis of legislation and regulations relating to accessibility and proposed the discussion of the accessible route as the right strategy for the city. In another step, the methodology of 'walking together' created by Dischinger (2000) was applied in a passage previously chosen, which the researcher follows the disabled person during the journey through city making records like photos and video. The comments and perceptions are compared to the spatial analysis of urban morphology, made from the method of Del Rio (1990) and Panerai (2006), and the parameters of NBR 9050. Knowledge of the area is enriched by the methodology of the production of space made by Henri Lefebvre in his book 'The production of space' (1974) with these categories: space conceived, perceived and lived. Another key reference of this author it s the book 'The Right to the City' (991), which allowed in-depth reflections on the social function of town. In conclusion, the study finds that to guarantee a minimum access conditions in informal sittlements it´s necessary to know the specifics of their morphology, their relations and urban practices in view of the visitability- experiencebility, describing it as complementary concepts

Classificação das ciências, visibilidade dos diferentes domínios científicos e impacto no desenvolvimento científico

Enquadramento: A classificação das ciências é um instrumento de trabalho muito importante para os processos de organização, avaliação e financiamento das atividades de investigação e desenvolvimento. Com estas classificações é possível obter dados para apoio a tomadas de decisão estratégicas sobre políticas de financiamento, considerando critérios de produtividade, de equidade no acesso e de relação entre o investimento e os resultados produzidos. Os sistemas de classificação das ciências têm evoluído com o tempo acompanhando o próprio trajeto de individualização de um determinado ramo do conhecimento científico e a sua capacidade para se fazer reconhecido pela comunidade científica e social, dependendo tanto de critérios epistemológicos quanto culturais e políticos. Objetivo e Principais tópicos em análise: Reflexão sobre a classificação das ciências em Portugal e sugestão de alternativas baseadas noutras experiências a nível mundial. Conclusão: Sendo este um sistema que se autorreforça, em que mais poder e visibilidade gera mais recursos e maior visibilidade, é fundamental que a enfermagem veja reconhecido o seu lugar como área científica para que possa desenvolver cabalmente o seu mandato social.

Aconselhamento de produtos de apoio para alunos com NEE: levantamento das estratégias e modelos utilizados pelos CRTIC

Na senda do contexto legislativo de outros países, também Portugal criou uma conjuntura legislativa, no âmbito da Educação Especial, que consagrou a possibilidade de utilização de produtos de apoio, como um recurso ao serviço dos alunos com Necessidades Educativas Especiais (NEE). Entre outras iniciativas, o Ministério da Educação lançou, em 2007, uma rede constituída por 25 centros, designados por Centro de Recursos TIC para Educação Especial (CRTIC) que, entre outras missões, são responsáveis pela avaliação de alunos com NEE tendo em vista a implementação dos produtos de apoio na intervenção educativa junto deste tipo de discentes. É neste contexto que surge a proposta de, com o estudo aqui apresentado, investigar e compreender as práticas atualmente em curso nos CRTIC, nomeadamente no que respeita às estratégias e os modelos aplicados nas avaliações de alunos com NEE, para efeitos de atribuição de produtos de apoio. O referencial teórico que sustentou este estudo foi analisado considerando o contexto legislativo nacional e internacional, que enquadra a utilização deste tipo de recursos junto destes alunos. Considerámos ainda as classificações existentes que caracterizam a diversidade dos produtos de apoio disponíveis no mercado, tendo a presente investigação sido focada no âmbito do aconselhamento tipicamente realizado pelos CRTIC. Por último, fez-se uma reflexão acerca dos processos implicados na prestação de serviços, analisando alguns indicadores de qualidade de serviço aconselhados pela literatura da especialidade. Do ponto de vista metodológico, e atendendo à finalidade desta investigação, delineou-se uma estratégia que permitiu recolher dados provenientes de diferentes fontes, tendo-se desenvolvido um estudo do tipo survey, sustentado por um paradigma pluri-metodológico, cujo corpus de análise proveio da análise documental de relatórios oficiais e de inquéritos por entrevista e por questionário. Estes últimos foram aplicados a todo o universo dos CRTIC (25 centros), tendo-se obtido uma taxa de resposta de 100%. A análise dos dados obtidos revelou que o processo de avaliação desenvolvido por estes centros já tem em conta alguns dos aspetos destacados na literatura, tais como: equipas multidisciplinares; tomada de decisão colaborativa e observação dos fatores ambientais do aluno. Porém, verifica-se que são escassos os CRTIC que disponibilizam um apoio sistemático e continuo aos intervenientes educativos na fase de implementação/utilização dos produtos atribuídos. Sustentados na constatação deste facto, conceptualizámos e prototipámos uma proposta de uma plataforma de apoio à avaliação e monitorização dos produtos de apoio, designada por “Rede NEE”, que visa facilitar a comunicação entre os intervenientes. Esta proposta revela-se inovadora no modo como os pedidos podem ser realizados, contemplando ainda estratégias que poderão facilitar a monitorização dos produtos de apoio atribuídos.
