A RESPONSABILIDADE SOCIAL EMPRESARIAL COMO FERRAMENTA ESTRATÉGICA E MOTIVACIONAL NA INDÚSTRIA AUTOMOTIVA BRASILEIRA. ESTUDO COMPARATIVO DE CASO: VOLKSWAGEN DO BRASIL (GRANDE ABC) X FIAT AUTOMÓVEIS (BETIM/MG)

Este trabalho propõe-se a mostrar a Responsabilidade Social como uma vantagem competitiva, bem como uma ferramenta estratégica vital para a sobrevivência das empresas em um cenário de rápidas e constantes mudanças. A ressaltar que, a partir do processo de globalização, com a pseudofusão das culturas, muitas empresas viram-se, de uma hora para outra, inseridas em um ambiente extremamente competitivo e aguerrido, onde velhas práticas tiveram que ser abandonadas, porque o cliente, antes jogado à própria sorte, tornou-se rei . Isto é, soberano nas suas escolhas e a razão de ser de uma empresa. Para abalizar as informações prestadas, far-se-á o estudo comparativo de caso, por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva, entre a Volkswagen Brasil empresa de origem alemã, instalada há mais de 50 anos no país e que detinha a liderança absoluta do mercado até o início do século XXI mas que a perdeu para a Fiat Automóveis de origem italiana, instalada há pouco mais de 30 anos, na cidade mineira de Betim e que conseguiu reverter uma imagem negativa perante os consumidores, tendo como uma das suas ações, a Responsabilidade Social como ferramenta estratégica e motivacional do seu público interno, numa clara cultura social . Enquanto que, recentemente, a Volkswagen enfrentou um longo e desgastante processo de negociação sindical em face do processo de demissão de milhares de empregados por carta da sua unidade de São Bernardo do Campo, o que pôs em xeque as suas práticas e a sua efetiva preocupação com o social. A Pesquisa IPEA de Indicadores Sociais, na sua segunda edição, é elemento norteador do trabalho desenvolvido que traz como principais revelações: a Responsabilidade Social no Brasil ainda é incipiente, está em processo de gestação a ISO 26001, a preocupação ambiental alastra-se por todo o planeta e os gestores, antes atentos quase que exclusivamente ao lucro, passam a ser cobrados pelos possíveis impactos socioambientais de suas decisões no presente.(AU)

CULTURA ORGANIZACIONAL: UM ESTUDO SOBRE O SISTEMA DE VALORES DE UMA MULTINACIONAL NO BRASIL

Este trabalho apresenta o tema CULTURA ORGANIZACIONAL: UM ESTUDO SOBRE O SISTEMA DE VALORES DE UMA MULTINACIONAL NO BRASIL . O eixo central da pesquisa é discutir a cultura organizacional global da multinacional sua relação com a cultura organizacional local da subsidiária no Brasil, bem como as relações de compartilhamento. Para isto, utiliza-se como objeto de estudo uma empresa multinacional alemã do segmento de produtos esportivos com subsidiária no Brasil. Com intuito de responder ao objetivo do trabalho foi realizado um estudo de caso único, descritivo explicativo, em uma empresa multinacional alemã instalada na cidade de São Paulo. O caso é composto por 62 sujeitos, 07 gestores e 55 funcionários administrativos que trabalham na subsidiária brasileira. Como resultado obteve-se a idéia de que a cultura organizacional é um fator relevante na sociedade pós-industrial globalizada e é necessário que as empresas multinacionais compreendam a cultura nacional do país onde desejam instalar-se e entendam como administrar as diversidades culturais de cada país.(AU)

O PAPEL DAS PUBLICAÇÕES E DOS COLPORTORES NA INSERÇÃO DO ADVENTISMO NO BRASIL

Esta pesquisa se constitui em uma investigação para avaliar o papel das publicações, dos colportores e da colportagem na inserção do adventismo no Brasil. Pretende-se identificar os efeitos da invenção da imprensa e o valor da página impressa para o protestantismo, bem como analisar os propósitos missiológicos que marcaram o surgimento do ministério de publicações, da colportagem e dos colportores na nascente Igreja Adventista. O trabalho visa também estabelecer os conceitos da teologia de missão, o processo de amadurecimento e finalmente o avanço missionário dos adventistas no cenário da expansão protestante na segunda metade do século 19, tanto em âmbito mundial como na América do Sul. Além desses objetivos, esta pesquisa apresenta a chegada do protestantismo ao Brasil e se propõe a analisar como a imigração alemã contribuiu para que os adventistas alcançassem seus propósitos missionais, uma vez que as primeiras publicações estavam impressas em língua alemã e chegaram às colônias dessa origem étnico-linguística. Com base nessa proposta de investigação, espera-se demonstrar claramente o papel que as publicações e os colportores tiveram no processo de implantação da Igreja Adventista no Brasil. Para realização deste estudo, utilizou-se o método histórico com coleta de dados através de investigação bibliográfica e documental, sendo a pesquisa definida como qualitativa, básica e exploratória.

Data transmission by pulse compression

Pulse compression techniques originated in radar.The present work is concerned with the utilization of these techniques in general, and the linear FM (LFM) technique in particular, for comnunications. It introduces these techniques from an optimum communications viewpoint and outlines their capabilities.It also considers the candidacy of the class of LFM signals for digital data transmission and the LFM spectrum. Work related to the utilization of LFM signals for digital data transmission has been mostly experimental and mainly concerned with employing two rectangular LFM pulses (or chirps) with reversed slopes to convey the bits 1 and 0 in an incoherent node.No systematic theory for LFM signal design and system performance has been available. Accordingly, the present work establishes such a theory taking into account coherent and noncoherent single-link and multiplex signalling modes. Some new results concerning the slope-reversal chirp pair are obtained. The LFM technique combines the typical capabilities of pulse compression with a relative ease of implementation. However, these merits are often hampered by the difficulty of handling the LFM spectrum which cannot generally be expressed closed-form. The common practice is to obtain a plot of this spectrum with a digital computer for every single set of LFM pulse parameters.Moreover, reported work has been Justly confined to the spectrum of an ideally rectangular chirp pulse with no rise or fall times.Accordingly, the present work comprises a systerratic study of the LFM spectrum which takes the rise and fall time of the chirp pulse into account and can accommodate any LFM pulse with any parameters.It· formulates rather simple and accurate prediction criteria concerning the behaviour of this spectrum in the different frequency regions. These criteria would facilitate the handling of the LFM technique in theory and practice.

Quantitative analysis of solid-state processes studied with isothermal microcalorimetry

Quantitative analysis of solid-state processes from isothermal microcalorimetric data is straightforward if data for the total process have been recorded and problematic (in the more likely case) when they have not. Data are usually plotted as a function of fraction reacted (α); for calorimetric data, this requires knowledge of the total heat change (Q) upon completion of the process. Determination of Q is difficult in cases where the process is fast (initial data missing) or slow (final data missing). Here we introduce several mathematical methods that allow the direct calculation of Q by selection of data points when only partial data are present, based on analysis with the Pérez-Maqueda model. All methods in addition allow direct determination of the reaction mechanism descriptors m and n and from this the rate constant, k. The validity of the methods is tested with the use of simulated calorimetric data, and we introduce a graphical method for generating solid-state power-time data. The methods are then applied to the crystallization of indomethacin from a glass. All methods correctly recovered the total reaction enthalpy (16.6 J) and suggested that the crystallization followed an Avrami model. The rate constants for crystallization were determined to be 3.98 × 10-6, 4.13 × 10-6, and 3.98 × 10 -6 s-1 with methods 1, 2, and 3, respectively. © 2010 American Chemical Society.

Correspondências científicas como uma relação didática entre história e ensino de matemática: o exemplo das cartas de Euler a uma princesa da Alemanha

Lettres àune Princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique et de philosophie (Letters to a Princess of Germany on various topics of physics and philosophy) is the work taken as an object of study of this thesis. It is a literary success written in the eighteenth century by the Swiss mathematician and physicist Leonhard Paul Euler (1707-1783) in order to meet a request from the Prussian king, Frederick II, the Great (1712-1786) to accept to guide the intellectual education of his niece, the young princess Anhalt-Dessau (1745-1808). The method of teaching and learning through letters elected to the education of the German monarch resulted in a collection of 234 matches in which Euler theory is about music, Philosophy, Mechanics, Optics, Astronomy, Theology and Ethics among others. The research seeks to point out mathematical content contained in this reference work based on the exploitation and adaptation of original historical works as an articulator of development activities for teaching mathematics in basic education and in accordance with the National Curriculum Parameters of Mathematics (NCP) work. The general objective point out the limits and didactic potential of Lettres à une Princesse d'Allemagne sur divers sujets de physique et de philosophie as a source of support for teachers of basic education in developing activities for teaching mathematics. The discussions raised point to concrete possibilities of entanglement between the extracted mathematical content of the bulge of the work with current teaching methodologies from resizing the use of letters according to Freire's pedagogical perspective of the correspondence, and especially the use of new communication channels in the century XXI, both aimed at dialogue and approximation between those who write and those who read.

Análise não-linear do campo de temperaturas desenvolvidas durante a soldagem do tipo TIG contínuo em placas delgadas

This study offers an analytical approach in order to provide a determination of the temperature field developed during the DC TIG welding of a thin plate of aluminum. The non-linear characteristics of the phenomenon, such as the dependence of the thermophysical and mechanical properties with temperature were considered in this study. In addition to the conductive heat exchange process, were taken into account the exchange by natural convection and radiation. A transient analysis is performed in order to obtain the temperature field as a function of time. It is also discussed a three-dimensional modeling of the heat source. The results obtained from the analytical model were be compared with the experimental ones and those available in the literature. The analytical results show a good correlation with the experimental ones available in the literature, thus proving the feasibility and efficiency of the analytical method for the simulation of the heat cycle for this welding process.

Mecanismos protetores induzidos pelo tratamento prévio com antígeno solúvel de taquizoítas (STAg) no intestino delgado de camundongos BALB/c e C57BL/6 infectados oralmente por Toxoplasma gondii

T. gondii can infect the gut mucosa by direct invasion of epithelial cells in the small intestine and these cells may respond directly to infection promoting a local immune response. C57BL/6 mice orally infected with a high parasitic load of T.gondii are highly susceptible, presenting a lethal ileitis. Recently, it was demonstrated that pretreatment with STAg protects C57BL/6 mice against intestinal pathology in oral T. gondii infection. To investigate the mechanisms induced by STAg in the small intestine in oral T.gondii infection, BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were treated with STAg 48 hours before oral infection with 30 ME-49 cysts and sacrificed at 8 days of infection. Previous treatment with STAg were able of decrease parasitism and pathology in peripheral organs of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice and induced a increase in amounts of goblet cells, IgA positive cells, Paneth cells and expression of cryptidin in the small intestine of both lineages of mice, moreover BALB/c mice presented higher amount of these cells comparing with C57BL/6 mice. The results suggests that STAg is able of promoting protective mechanisms in both lineages of mice, although these protection is more evidenced in BALB/c mice, and these mechanisms could be in part mediated by increase in goblet, Paneth and local secretion of IgA in the small intestine of mice orally infected with T.gondii.

Caminhos da professoralidade no Curso de Dança da UFU: impasses e desafios na construção da identidade profissional

Teacher identity is a subject of study and discussion in the academic world whichhas become an object of attention of researchaddressing teaching and teacher formation. Life history, initial and continuing formation, the meaning of teaching to the teacher, and also pedagogical practice are all contributing factors to teachers’ professional identity. The present study is a proposal developed in the research field of Educational Knowledge and Practice, and its main focus lies in university teaching. Higher education teaching in the context of a dance course, and the issues and challenges of constructing teachers’ professional identity are presented. Thus, my main questions were: what is the teaching path followed by newly hired dance teachers in the Federal University of Uberlândia? How is teaching identity developed in these new teachers’ professional socialization process? What kind of educational knowledge is (re)produced and mobilized by teachers when they join university teaching? In order to answer these questions, my objectives are: to analyze the teaching path of the newly hired dance teachers of the Federal University of Uberlândia; to investigate how their teaching identity is built within their professional socialization process; and identify the kinds of educational knowledge they (re)produce and mobilize as soon as they become university teachers. The present research comprises a qualitative data analysis from previous studies on the subject, having as starting point relevant bibliographic research, followed by an identification questionnaire and an interview conducted with the newly hired dance teachers. The construction of teaching identity is related to objective and subjective conditions involving a teaching job and how the teacher perceives this identity as constantly evolving. Hence I understand the importance of personal and institutional incentives to prepare studies which raise or problematize issues specific to this area, contributing to extend the debate over higher education professionals’ formation, in particular that of dance course teachers on national scope.

Las potencias subregionales en el sistema internacional de posguerra fría: ¿nuevos actores en la política internacional?

En trabajos anteriores, hemos avanzado en la identificación y diferenciación de tres categorías de potencias: potencias mundiales, potencias medias y potencias regionales. Pero, más allá de las potencias mundiales y las potencias medias que se encuentran en el centro del sistema-mundial, y las potencias regionales que se ubican en la semiperiferia, ¿es posible hablar de potencias que se encuentren en la periferia? Como se trata de Estados periféricos, ¿pueden ser calificados como “potencias”? ¿En qué radicaría su relevancia y envergadura? Dichas “potencias” ¿pueden ser agrupadas en una nueva categoría? De ser así ¿qué características compartirían? El objetivo de este documento es proponer una nueva  categoría de potencias en el sistema internacional: las potencias subregionales.

The Geography of Borders: The Method

This text is a first that the author would develop later. It is illustrated with case studies and original terminology. It begins with a brief conceptual contribution on the difference in approach between the German and French geographical schools, and continues with a reflection on the historical and geographical relativity of the boundary. Subsequently, at its greatest extent, the article provides a taxonomy of states: amorphous states, in three cases, that of the "savage peoples" without boundaries, of black Africa; that of semi-civilized peoples of northwest Africa, and the particular case of European civilized nomads, called ―terranovas‖. Framed states, with borders undergoing processes of emergence or extension, especially the case of Yugoslavia. And, in addition, some references to stable boundaries of Albania and the Netherlands

Aproximación fenomenológica a la conversión súbita

Partiendo del estudio filológico y filosófico de textos autógrafos clásicos (Agustín de Hipona) y del siglo XX (Paul Claudel, André Frossard, Max Jacob, Manuel García Morente), se pretende la fijación de un esquema fenomenológico que se repite en los casos de conversión súbita en el ámbito católico, así como las imágenes arquetípicas que aparecen. Asimismo, se busca la catalogación de la conversión súbita dentro del estudio contemporáneo de la fenomenología de las religiones.

Plato on Oblivion. About Memory and Forgetfullness in the Platonic Dialogues

The aim of this paper is to tackle the role of oblivion in the Plato’s dialogues. It takes as work texts the dialogues where the anamnesis doctrine is exposed, and from these writings, but also attending to several other ones, the connexions between oblivion and other Platonic issues, as, e. g., language, memory, experience or love are explored, in order to clarify their relations of mutual dependence. In this way, we attempt to find out in the Platonic oblivion a philosophical sense, which is not disdainful in comparison with the sense and the relevance that the readers of all times have granted to anamnesis; for anamnesis and oblivion are inseparable indeed.
