O impacto da adesão aos diferentes níveis de Governança Corporativa para o desempenho econômico e financeiro de um segmento de empresas

The importance of the capital market to Brazilian economic development, linked to the the fragility of a theoretical framework on the issue, case for developing this research. The agents operating in the capital market seek security and confidence for decision making on their investment in that sense we seek to address the concept and values of Corporate Governance to pay in the Brazilian capital market. The Corporate Governance, in its essence, is the system by which companies are directed and monitored, involving the relationship between shareholders and the board of companies, as well as a set of mechanisms and factors intended to minimize market failures. Seeking to confirm adherence to a more advanced system of corporate governance can result in a favorable financial performance, companies were investigated operating in the financial sector (intermediation, various services and insurance), listed by BM&FBOVESPA. The stock market ranks the corporate governance systems in three levels: Level 1 (rudimentary), Level 2 (intermediate) and New Market Level (advanced). To earn the impact of different levels of Corporate Governance for the outcome of the selected companies were calculated and analyzed accounting ratios of profitability, capital structure and liquidity from the Standardized Financial Statements (DFP), base year 2011, 2012 and 2013

Prótese total fixa na maxila: soluções protéticas

The modalities of treatment with prostheses over implants for total edentulous patients can be divided in fixed and removable prostheses (overdentures). The fixed prostheses modality has proven to offer better results as to the functional aspects and, results in higher longevity. Overdentures are considered as a modality of rehabilitation utilized to compensate the need for better retention, aside from augmenting chewing efficiency. Its use is justified by its facilitated hygiene, reduced surgical and prosthetic costs, reestablishment of labial support and elimination of the possibility of air escape. However, this option presents psychosocial downside, since the fact that it is considered a removable rehabilitation modality does not please the majority of patients. Although many patients prefer a fixed implant-supported prosthesis to a removable overdenture, frequently it is necessary to utilize an implant retained overdenture as an alternative to the treatment, due to anatomical, physiological, aesthetic, hygienic, and financial limitations regarding the patient. The objective of this study was to discuss a clinical case of a partially edentulous patient treated in the Implantodontic Surgery Post-Graduation Course from the Kenedy Dentistry Institute Mozarteum/Famosp Unit – Goiânia-Brazil), and submitted to osseointegrated implants surgical fixation techniques. A modality of differential diagnosis was established after osseointegration period, it aimed at facilitating the choice of a rehabilitation model that could favor the patient’s and professional`s expectations. Therefore the appreciated aspects were function, comfort, aesthetics, and especially the patient satisfaction.

Estudo e análise estatística no mercado de ações brasileiro

The objective of this paper is to verify and analyze the existence in Brazil of stylized facts observed in financial time series: volatility clustering, probability distributions with fat tails, the presence of long run memory in absolute return time series, absence of linear return autocorrelation, gain/loss asymmetry, aggregative gaussianity, slow absolute return autocorrelation decay, trading volume/volatility correlation and leverage effect. We analyzed intraday prices for 10 stocks traded at the BM&FBovespa, responsible for 52.1% of the Ibovespa portfolio on Sept. 01, 2009. The data analysis confirms the stylized facts, whose behavior is consistent with what is observed in international markets.

Gestão de portfólio de produtos: práticas adotadas por uma empresa de base tecnológica de médio porte localizada na cidade de São Carlos, SP

In the context of the product development process (PDP), portfolio management plays an important role by determing the set of products that a company uses to compete. Due to its characteristics, performing continuous technological forecasting activities for developing and transferring technologies to their products through the PDP, this tends to make portfolio management a complex activity for products at these companies. This paper’s objective was to identify practices for product portfolio management in a medium-sized technology-based firm located in São Carlos, SP. Qualitative research was used and it was operationalized through a case study. Among the main results, it was noted that decisions on product portfolio depend mainly on the perception of senior management and the financial analyzes constitute the main method used for supporting the decision.

However the financial transactions made by the bank remained secret throughout its existence until mid 2012. This feature of not providing relevant information at the local and international community brought harm. Several cases of corruption and money laundering came up, bringing scandals that cause bad looks for the religious entity. In order to interact with the international community and understanding the importance of it, the Roman Apostolic Catholic Church decides to joing the international accounting procedures (IFRS) and went on to provide yearly financial statement reports and other information from its bank from 2012 .

Freio eletrodinamométrico usando um inversor de frequência e um motor de indução trifásico

Considering that the Brazilian energy source is based on hydroelectric power plants, every moment that it does not rain enough, we are likely to suffer power outage. Making the rational use of energy not only is wise, but also important for financial issues. The industrial sector is of great importance to Brazilian economic context, because it is one that creates more wealth and jobs. It should be noted that it is one of the sectors that consume more electricity. One of the most used equipment in industry is the three phase induction motor, which ends up providing significant waste of energy. For that reasons, studying three phase induction motors is important. One of the ways to evaluate the parameter of the three phase induction motor is using a dynamometer mechanic or electric. This work aims at further studies (and development) of electrodynamometer brake, a type of electrical dynamometer, that is the only one with reversible use. This means, it is possible to measure both the torque and the power transmitted by the electric motors, by the direct method and the indirect. Besides it allows greater stability in the imposition of charges, due to its nature of being able to regenerate the energy imparted by the engines being tested
