Angola, jeje e ketu: Memrias e identidades em casas e naes de candombl na Regio Metropolitana da Grande Vitria (ES), que o tema desta dissertao, requer adentrar em anlises de categorias nativas do povo de santo, e, em seguida, passar a questes tericas sobre esses temas. Na cidade de Serra encontram-se as quatro casas de santo onde a pesquisa de campo foi realizada com trs iyalorixs e um babalorix, que dividem suas memrias e experincias religiosas compondo um exerccio terico sobre a histria e a formao do candombl no Esprito Santo. Nesse estado, que no referncia dessa religio, a mesma encontra-se em ascenso. A preocupao dos integrantes das comunidades de terreiros transformar parte das tradies orais em produo escrita. Tendo em vista os processos polticos de reconhecimento legal da diversidade cultural, o debate se deu em torno de hibridizao e mltiplas formas de identidade. O universo encantador e mgico do candombl composto pelos toques dos atabaques, danas rituais e f em foras da natureza. Os filhos da dispora africana trazidos para o Brasil eram de vrias regies da frica, o que nos permite entender a diversidade cultural que marca esses grupos. Em funo do sincretismo entre as prprias religies de matriz africana e delas com o catolicismo e as doutrinas espiritualistas, essas religies encontram-se de norte a sul do pas. Este encontro de crenas e rituais to evidente que j no dizemos religies africanas e sim religies afro-brasileiras. O candombl, desde o seu surgimento, vem sendo criado e recriado pela transmisso de suas tradies e ritos. A tradio oral nas comunidades de terreiro um dos elementos demarcadores da construo da sua identidade, a partir de uma organizao interna e do aprendizado hierarquicamente transmitido pelos depositrios do saber, seguindo uma ordem de senioridade de iniciao, os antigos so detentores dos saberes e segredos. Por ser uma religio inicitica, o aprendizado ocorre permanentemente, em especial o da lngua ritual, onde o exerccio e o contato levam a transmisso cultural. O povo de santo reconstri uma ligao com uma comunidade imaginada que remonta a frica e desenvolve relaes de parentesco ficcional entre os membros das comunidades de terreiro e forma uma famlia de santo e de ax.

A distribuio geogrfica de um txon limitada por aspectos ecolgicos e histricos. Muitas atividades humanas tm causado modificaes na cobertura vegetal, o que leva fragmentao e perda do habitat. Isso tem levado extino local de populaes de vrias espcies, alterando sua distribuio geogrfica. Entre elas esto as duas espcies do gnero Brachyteles (os muriquis), que so primatas endmicos de um dos biomas mais afetados por esses processos, a Mata Atlntica. A Unio Internacional para a Conservao da Natureza (UICN) uma organizao que busca conservar a biodiversidade. Entre outros critrios, utiliza o conhecimento sobre as distribuies geogrficas restritas das espcies para classific-las em categorias de ameaa de extino, nas chamadas listas vermelhas. Para isso, utiliza parmetros espaciais, cujos resultados indicam o risco de extino de determinado txon em relao sua distribuio geogrfica. Muitas vezes os clculos desses parmetros so realizados de maneira subjetiva, de maneira que importante a busca de mtodos que tornem as classificaes mais objetivas, precisas e replicveis. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho testou diferentes mtodos de clculos de trs parmetros relacionados distribuio geogrfica de B. hypoxanthus e B. arachnoides. Tratam-se de espcies ameaadas de extino, com localidades de ocorrncia bem conhecidas, que foram profundamente afetadas pela degradao da Mata Atlntica. Assim, podem ser consideradas bons modelos para essas anlises. Foi construdo um banco de dados de localidades de ocorrncia atuais das duas espcies. Por meio de abordagens de Sistemas de Informao Geogrfica (SIG), foram estimadas a Extenso de Ocorrncia (EOO) atravs de Mnimo Polgono Convexo e -hull e rea de Ocupao (AOO) e Subpopulaes por meio de mtodos de grids, buffers circulares e -hull, em diferentes escalas espaciais. Os resultados dos clculos desses parmetros foram comparados para identificar as abordagens e escalas mais adequadas para a avaliao de risco de extino. Esses resultados indicam que as listas de localidades e os mapas de distribuio disponibilizados pela UICN precisam ser atualizados. Alm disso, sugerem que -hull uma abordagem vantajosa para EOO e o mtodo de buffers mais adequado para os parmetros de AOO e Subpopulaes, quando utiliza escalas espaciais menores. Tambm foi utilizada a ferramenta GeoCAT, para as duas espcies. Essa ferramenta, por realizar anlises de EOO e AOO instantneas e por seus resultados serem semelhantes aos de outras anlises, serve como uma abordagem preliminar de risco de extino baseado no critrio de distribuio geogrfica.

Discusses the formation of urban apparatus that have characterized promote interaction, connection, inclusion and learning within the new paradigm of knowledge, which corresponds to the process of involvement/ knowledge propagation between space and urban space, caused by various combinations. Rescues the importance of physical space in the contemporary city before the increasing spread of cyberspace as one that many theorists seem to be the future of humanity. It also discusses the importance of knowledge in various fields such as Philosophy, Sociology, Education, and especially the Architecture and Urbanism, highlighting the need to think about the city according to this status of knowledge. Shows how the apparatus are found in urban public policy agenda. In this context, used as a model the polygonal 1 of the city of Vitria, consisting of eight communities that call themselves Territrio do Bem, focusing on how ownership and endogenous production of spaces contribute to the formation of urban apparatus. Also shows the performance of the city of Vitria through the Multiyear Plan 2010/2013, pointing out the actions and the programs that contribute to the formation of urban apparatus. The results show that the apparatus are tools of participatory urban management and city planning, contributing to the process of autonomy and social emancipation

In 2001, China finally joined the WTO. The accession of China was looked forward to by many WTO members and China itself. However, observers had some fears that the Chinese accession would prove to be a Trojan horse, disrupting the working of the WTO. This paper looks into the Chinese accession and its involvement in the WTO Dispute Settlement and argues that these fears seem so far to be unfounded.

Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is recognized, both in the academic and business world, as one of the most powerful strategic management accounting tools. Thus, we launched in October 2004 a questionnaire survey applied to the 250 largest Portuguese companies aiming at observing the knowledge, use, and companies characteristics which are adopting this management instrument. Despite the majority of the companies inquired recognize BSC more as a strategic management tool than a performance valuation system, the results show that there is still a reduced and recent utilization of BSC in Portugal. Similarly to other countries Portugal is still in the initial state of BSC utilization. Our work has shown that the companies that use more BSC belong mainly to the secondary sector of industry. Nevertheless, unlike other studies, we did not get empirical evidence on the influence of variables such as geographical localization, dimension and internationalization, in the use and knowledge of BSC in Portugal.

The European Capital of Culture is an annual mega-event, which can provide a good forum though which to challenge and engage local citizens, thus generating feelings of common citizenship. In addition, it presents an ideal opportunity to promote the restructuring of the hosting urban space. However, the success of both the organization and the city that hosts the cultural event depends on the residents commitment towards it, the consistency of the tourism attractions and activities supplied, and the capacity of anticipating and monitoring the evolution of tourists preferences. The present study aims to assess the intention to participate and the impacts perceived by residents of Guimares from hosting one of the 2012 European Capitals of Culture (2012 ECOC) in the ex-ante period (2011). Through a convenience sample of 471 usable surveys applied to the local population, conducted between October and December 2011, we tried to identify some of these potential impacts. According to the results received, 40% of residents had a low or very low knowledge of the cultural program, although only 11% demonstrated no intention of attending any activity during the event. The comparison of the mean scores of the expected 2012 ECOC impacts by gender reveals that the most valued and least valued factors are common to female and male respondents. With regard to the differences between those that intended to attend the event and the ones that did not, expected participants rated positive and negative impact factors more than did the ones that did not intend to attend.

The purpose of this paper is to present a taxonomy able to contribute to building a framework within the domain of Virtual Enterprises (VE), to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and contributions to knowledge, as well as for trust building among VE stakeholders. A VE taxonomy currently does not exist, and this lack is felt in the ambiguous way that some concepts are addressed, leading to a fragment understanding that hinders the development of the science of VE integration and management. The structure of the taxonomy developed is based on the view of the system as a 5-tuple consisting of Input, Control, Output, Mechanism, and Process, which is the underlying system-view in the well-know IDEF0 diagramming technique. In particular, this taxonomy addresses the VE extended lifecycle that implies the use of a meta-organization called Market of Resources, as an original contribution to the VE theory and practice. The taxonomy presented does not repeat what the literature already includes, or the commonplaces, and it is constructed in a way to be easily complemented with other VE partial taxonomies that may be found in literature. Some suggestions for extensions to other interrelated domains (as evolution leaves taxonomies in an open or incompleteness state) are given in the text.

Abstract: The growing proliferation of management systems standards (MSSs), and their individualized implementation, is a real problem faced by organizations. On the other hand, MSSs are aimed at improving efficiency and effectiveness of organizational responses in order to satisfy the requirements, needs and expectations of the stakeholders. Each organization has its own identity and this is an issue that cannot be neglected; hence, two possible approaches can be attended. First, continue with the implementation of individualized management systems (MSs); or, integrate the several MSSs versus related MSs into an integrated management system (IMS). Therefore, in this context, organizations are faced with a dilemma, as a result of the increasing proliferation and diversity of MSSs. This paper takes into account the knowledge gained through a case study conducted in the context of a Portuguese company and unveils some of the advantages and disadvantages of integration. A methodology is also proposed and presented to support organizations in developing and structuring the integration process of their individualized MSs, and consequently minimize problems that are generators of inefficiencies, value destruction and loss of competitiveness. The obtained results provide relevant information that can support Top Management decision in solving that dilemma and consequently promote a successful integration, including a better control of business risks associated to MSSs requirements and enhancing sustainable performance, considering the context in which organizations operate.

A presente pesquisa faz uma anlise sobre o reconhecimento da necessidade da Msica na Escola, levando em considerao o carter interdisciplinar, ldico e as restantes propriedades da msica, capazes de promover cada vez mais sinapses, fato este comprovado pela Neurocincia, em que o aluno passa a estar mais motivado, atravs da constante e percetvel ativao de diversas reas cerebrais distintas das reas especficas do tratamento da informao musical. O ponto de partida para esta pesquisa foi a Lei 11.769/08 do Governo Federal Brasileiro que trata da obrigatoriedade do ensino da msica na educao bsica, a partir deste momento, houve grandes perspetivas e projetos direcionados ao retorno da msica sala de aula, focalizando a ateno para a melhor organizao dos espaos, nomeadamente, estruturas, materiais e pessoal, de forma a garantir o sucesso do ensino atravs da msica. Tendo em conta a implementao desta lei, houve a necessidade de analisar na prtica, os benefcios da msica na aprendizagem, bem como a formao do docente para esta atividade. Deste modo, fez-se o enquadramento terico com base nos conhecimentos j existentes sobre polticas educativas pblicas e o ensino artstico, especificamente a presena da Msica no currculo escolar. Este enquadramento serviu de base para a realizao de um estudo no municpio de Coelho Neto no Maranho Brasil, com base na temtica: A Importncia da Msica na Motivao do Aluno, que demonstrou a falta de preparao dos docentes no que concerne msica. Assim, esta investigao-ao levou-nos elaborao do Projeto Formar para melhor ensinar, no sentido de ajudar os professores a superar esta lacuna. Este projeto ser implementado no prximo ano letivo.
