The objective of this paper is to identify the main definitions, related practices and to point out future directions in green supply chain management (GSCM). After a literature review and systematisation of the published articles in this field, it was possible to identify: a) the main research objectives of analysed papers; b) the research methods adopted; c) the predominantly analysed industrial sectors; d) the GSCM practices considered by the researchers. Results are presented in each of these analytical perspectives. The main findings are: 1) there are various classifications, nomenclatures and types of GSCM practices, but the most commonly used by studies in GSCM are cleaner production, product design, reverse logistic and green purchasing; 2) from the highlighted definitions, the tonic is to adapt operating activities and incorporate the supply chain management philosophy (integration/ collaboration) to environmental concerns (impact reduction) in relations between links in the chain. These results can be useful for those interested in environmental management as well as supply chain management, considering the growing interest in GSCM. We also propose a research agenda on this subject. This is one of the most recent literature review and systematisation on green supply chain management. © 2013 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

A risks management, carried on in an effective way, leads the software development to success and may influence on the organization. The knowledge takes part of such a process as a way to help taking decisions. This research aimed to analyze the use of Knowledge Management techniques to the Risk Management in software projects development and the possible influence on the enterprise revenue. It had, as its main studying subject, Brazilian incubated and graduated software developing enterprises. The chosen research method was the Survey type. Multivariate statistical methods were used for the treatment and analysis of the obtained results, this way identifying the most significant factors, that is, enterprise's achievement constraining factors and those outcome achievement ones. Among the latter we highlight the knowledge methodology, the time of existence of the enterprise, the amount of employees and the knowledge externalization. The results encourage contributing actions to the increasing of financial revenue. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

A Modelagem de Sistemas vêm sendo cada vez mais aplicada nos meios de produção para as mais diversas finalidades, incluindo a área de Projeto de Sistemas, com o intuito de definir o número de pessoas na equipe, analisar o esforço, o tamanho do software e os custos totais do projeto. Este trabalho tem por finalidade desenvolver um modelo de apoio à análise baseado em Pontos de Caso de Uso (PCU). Para isso, utiliza-se de vários métodos de pesquisa entre elas a pesquisa exploratória e de laboratório para criar um modelo de apoio para a análise.

Esta tese possui como tema o estudo da saúde tradicional, traz a proposta de pesquisar os saberes e práticas dos profissionais de saúde tradicional que utilizam técnicas corporais para tratar perturbações e desconfortos restabelecendo a saúde aos atendidos. Trabalho de campo foi realizado no distrito de Icoaraci na cidade de Belém e na localidade de Chipaiá, no município de Cachoeira do Arari, o qual faz parte do arquipélago do Marajó. Apresenta como objeto de estudo a construção social da prática do profissional de saúde tradicional, como elemento mágico-simbólico e social de saúde nas regiões trabalhadas. Foram selecionados oito profissionais de saúde tradicionais, quatro em cada localidade. Por meio de observações e entrevistas abertas o estudo busca aprofundar a medida curativa conhecida como “puxação”, prática pertencente ao Sistema Tradicional de Ação para a Saúde (STAS), discutindo as concepções que dizem respeito a crenças, mitos e representações simbólicas utilizadas para a construção do saber tradicional; a forma que são realizados os ritos e como tais práticas levam à construção social do profissional de saúde tradicional; as concepções de saúde e doença na concepção do STAS; e a relação das práticas de cura com o sistema social. A análise também aborda a inter-relação dos ritos: puxação da mãe-do-corpo e puxação de barriga-cheia como exemplos de práticas singulares do STAS, sua importância na atenção à saúde da mulher e reflexo gerado no Sistema Ocidental de Ação para Saúde (SOAS).

The research addresses the need for detailed geological and geotechnical investigations in pipeline’s design, given the diversity of geological units crossed by these works along its layout, which often extends for hundreds of miles. For its large size, this type of work often goes through different states and regions with very different characteristics in terms of topography, vegetation, geology and geotechnical conditions. For a better use of these investigations in order to avoid unnecessary costs and inefficient results, some authors recommend that steps be taken to study, seeking a progressive detail of the pipeline’s implantation area. The main objective of the study is to describe, analyze and correlate the proposals for geological and geotechnical’s investigation recommended by the authors selected. Nogueira Junior & Marques (1998) suggest that for better effectiveness of geological and geotechnical investigations associated with the deployment of pipelines, different research methods are applied sequentially in five major stages of the building. Rocha et al (2008) recommend that, for the pipeline’s implantation using horizontal directional drilling, investigations are performed in three phases of study, to be developed in coordination with the project stages. For Gelinas & Mathy (2004), when time and budget constraints permit, geotechnical investigations for directional drilling projects for pipelines must be made in four sequential phases. Heinz (2008) suggests that the geotechnical investigations for pipeline’s implantation using horizontal directional drilling at crossings of water bodies are carried out in three successive stages. By the development of research, we could see that all the different proposals recommend studies in sequential phases, starting from a more general scale for a more specific, seeking a progressive understanding of the geological model of the area where you intend to deploy the pipeline

Provides elements for a reflection on methodological strategies in the face of objects of study that prove difficult to approach. Through a case study in education, seeks to show that difficulties in obtaining information and data have been overcome by using an analytical model developed. It is shown that its use allowed inferences broader and reveal hidden inconsistencies in discussions on public and private education. Intended to assist reflection on qualitative research methods for those who deal with such studies. Concludes that the current expectations of management efficiency and transfer of resources sufficient quantity and quality have not materialized with a private enterprise under public education, even if we have succeeded in building a positive image by the promoters of this action with the sectors of public opinion. Prevailing trade policy interests at the expense of the motivations declared the initiative of aid to education, and even can not be said that the initiative has resulted in a private redefined the public character of the systems affected, there is evidence that its implementation represents a unique chapter focused "education", compared to a scenario in which stand out historically mutual aid agreements of a politicaleconomic development between state and private enterprise.
