Produção de narrativas escritas no ensino fundamental: estudo de casos

This paper focuses on the construction of the narrative for elementary school students, searching to identify strategies they employed in the production of narrative texts representative of miniconto genre. Therefore, we take a sample forty texts produced by students of 6 and 9 years of basic education, twenty in the 6th year students (ten public school and ten private school) and twenty students in 9th grade (distributed similarly between public education and private). In general, we aim to understand the mechanisms by which producers build their narratives, as well as providing input for analysis of textual production of this genre. This research is based on Functional-Linguistic assumptions of the American side, inspired by Givón (2001), Thompson (2005), Hopper (1987), Bybee (2010), Traugott (2003), Martelotta (2008), Furtado da Cunha (2011), among others. In addition, from the theoretical framework presented by Labov (1972) about the narrative, coupled with Batoréo contribution (1998), we observed the recurring elements in the structure of narratives under study: abstract, orientation, complication, resolution, evaluation and coda. Also approached, but that in a complementary way, the notion of gender presented in Marcuschi (2002). This is a research quantitative and qualitative, with descriptive and analytical-interpretive bias. In corpus analysis, we consider the following categories: gender discourse miniconto; compositional structure of the narrative; informativeness (discursive progression, thematic coherence and narrative, topical-referential distribution); informative relevance (figure / ground). At the end of the work, our initial hypothesis of the better performance of students in 9th grade, compared to 6, and the particular context of education in relation to the public context, not confirmed, since, in the comparative study revealed that the groups have similar performance as the construction of the narrative, making use of the same strategies in its construction.

Estudo de Casos de Mães Toxicodependentes Internadas numa Comunidade Terapêutica

Esta investigação encontrou a sua fundamentação numa crescente preocupação sobre a questão da toxicodependência, uma problemática complexa, que até aos nossos dias não tem encontrado uma resposta segura para a sua resolução. O fenómeno da toxicodependência é um problema que acontece em toda a dimensão social. Nos últimos anos a incidência do consumo de drogas ilícitas tem aumentado de forma preocupante na nossa sociedade e em particular nas mulheres. Toda esta problemática da toxicodependência adquire dimensões ainda mais complexas e preocupantes nas situações de gravidez e de maternidade. Esta investigação tem como objectivo conhecer e analisar a experiência de vida e os sentimentos de mães toxicodependentes internadas numa comunidade terapêutica. A opção metodológica do estudo incide numa abordagem qualitativa, de natureza descritiva e de orientação fenomenológica, procurando deste modo conhecer melhor a globalidade dos fenómenos e a sua compreensão como experiência, tal como ela é vivida e tal como esta é definida pelas utentes. Entre outras conclusões, destacamos, a emergência de significações existenciais para a mulher a partir da experiência vivida no mundo da droga, assim como os sentimentos e emoções vividos pela experiência da maternidade. O internamento na comunidade terapêutica é vivido como positivo, ressaltando o crescimento pessoal uma vez que esta experiência proporcionou uma reflexão sobre a sua própria vida, perspectivando assim um projecto vida, um recomeçar.

Os impactos tecnológicos da implantação da nota fiscal eletrônica: um estudo de casos múltiplos

Increasingly, the Information Technology is used in the society, including the private, public and third sector organizational context. Technological tools are created in order to speed, automate, control and monitor processes. These technologies generate impacts on areas that permeate their use and the objective of this study is to investigate the implementation process of the Eletronic Invoice and the impacts arising from this technological tool in companies. For that, case studies have been conducted in three companies that emit and receive Eletronic Invoice, in a Information System consultancy, that provides softwares of Eletronic Invoice, and in a State Tax Department. Data collection was performed with organizations representatives through electronic questionnaires. The study concludes that it is expected, by the investigated organizations, that the tool reaches the benefits offered by the Tax Administration. However, these benefits have not been identified yet and neither have the use of methodologies in order to identify them. Moreover, the main impact found was the need for better training and participant´s technical qualification, followed by reducing printing costs and paper purchase

A influência do processo de terceirização de tecnologia da informação na utilização dos modelos de contratação de serviços: um estudo de casos múltiplos

The change in the economic world and the emergence of Internet as a tool for communication and integration among the markets have forced organizations to adopt a different structure, process-oriented with a focus on information management. Thus, information technology has gained prominence in the organizational context, increasing its complexity and range of services provided by this function. Moreover, outsourcing has become an important model for flexible corporate structure, helping organizations to achieve better results when carrying out their activities and processes and be more competitive. To make the IT outsourcing, it is necessary to follow certain steps that range from strategic assessment to the management of outsourced service. Such steps can influence the form of contracting services, varying the types of service providers and contractors. Thus, the study aimed to identify how this IT outsourcing process influences the use of models for contracting services. For this, a study was conducted in multiple cases study involving two companies in Rio Grande do Norte State, specifically the health sector. Data collection was carried out with the CIOs of the companies surveyed through semi-structured interviews. According to the results obtained, it was found that the outsourcing process more structured influences the use of a more advanced contracting model. However, there are features found in these steps carrying more clearly this influence, as the goals pursued by outsourcing, the criteria used in selecting the supplier, a contract negotiation, how to transition services and the use of methods management, but can vary depending on the level of maturity in the relationship of the companies examined. Moreover, it was found that the use of contracting model may also influence how it is developed the IT outsourcing process, requiring or not its more formalized and organization

Mudança dos processos de negócios e adequação da TI nas empresas em decorrência da implantação do sistema público de escrituração digital SPED: um estudo de casos múltiplos

Companies have always been organized by processes, often imperceptible to its employees. With the advancement of technology, organizational processes currently run an organization through computers, and thus generate immediate information that is available to each sector. With the objective of seeking business information in real time, the government created the SPED - Public System of Digital, which involves three subsystems, which are the Electronic Invoice, Digital Accounting Bookkeeping and Digital Tax Bookkeeping. This system is revolutionizing the business structures when gathering, in an innovative way, all information and interlinked business processes. For the implementation of SPED, a revision in the organizational processes is required, since the information is generated and is sent online to the government, without mistakes. Thus the study aimed to analyze the change brought about by the implementation of the Public System of Digital SPED in the main business processes. In order to do so, we have performed a multiple case study involving three companies in the state of Para, two operate in wholesale and one explores agribusiness. The Data collection was performed by accounting professionals, IT and managers. According to the results obtained, it was found that in two companies, the IT infrastructure was capable of deploying the new system without major problems, while one company had more difficulties to cope with the new system. However, all companies had to examine its processes to make the customizations needed to fit. It was also observed that there is no IT Governance in two companies. Therefore, we recommend the use of an appropriate model, not only for the implementation of SPED, but as a way to manage and extract better results from investment in information technology

Analise das melhores práticas em business process management: estudo de casos em organizações hospitalares de Natal/RN

O gerenciamento dos processos organizacionais vem sendo estudado pela ciência administrativa como forma de romper com o paradigma da estrutura organizacional funcional através da Gestão por Processos. O Business Process Management ( BPM alinhado às estratégias organizacionais e suportado cada vez mais pela Tecnologia da Informação (TI), proporciona clareza nas diversas pontas do processo colaborando para sua melhoria contínua com o objetivo de gerar valor agregado ao cliente. As organizações de saúde estão entre as empresas prestadoras de serviço pouco estudadas em relação ao gerenciamento por processos. Assim, este estudo analisou por meio de um estudo empírico de natureza qualitativa, como estão sendo conduzidos os processos organizacionais hospitalares à luz das melhores práticas em BPM. A pesquisa foi realizada através do estudo de casos múltiplos realizados em duas organizações hospitalares na cidade de Natal/RN. A literatura de referência apresentou diversos fatores para um desempenho otimizado em BPM, tratados nesta pesquisa como as melhores práticas em BPM. A partir da revisão da literatura foi elaborada uma síntese das melhores práticas de BPM que serviu de base para elaboração do modelo da pesquisa utilizado para coleta e análise dos dados. Este modelo indicou onze categorias que foram utilizadas para elaboração do roteiro de estrevistas semi-estruturadas, através da técnica de análise de conteúdo, com categorização de grade fechada. As categorias foram agrupadas em duas dimensões: Elementos relacionados à gestão ( governança ; liderança , alinhamento estratégico , cultura e conhecimento ) e elementos relacionados aos processos ( desenho , responsável , executores , tecnologia da informação e indicadores ), e ainda foi identificada uma terceira categoria: escritório de processos . Para seleção dos sujeitos desta pesquisa foi adotada a estratégia em cadeia ou bola de neve . Foi possível identificar que todas as categorias apontadas no modelo de pesquisa emergem entre os fatores buscados pelas organizações hospitalares para o gerenciamento por processos com destaque para categorias: cultura ; conhecimento ; desenho ; tecnologia da informação e indicadores . Em complemento às categorias de análise, foram identificadas dificuldades relacionadas à comunicação e integração dos diversos elos do processo. Além disso, constatou-se que nos hospitais investigados há um desvio do conceito de BPM no que diz respeito a seu objetivo final: agregar valor ao cliente. A pesquisa concluiu que o gerenciamento por processos nas organizações hospitalares investigadas encontra-se em fase inicial ou em desenvolvimento, sendo necessário superar as barreiras da comunicação e edificar uma cultura organizacional orientada às necessidades dos clientes para aplicação das melhores práticas de BPM, desta forma pesquisas futuras sobre este tema em outras organizações hospitalares, podem facilitar um estudo comparativo e ampliar o conhecimento no assunto

Considerações sobre o debate a respeito da relação entre política comercial e desenvolvimento

O objetivo do presente trabalho é discutir os argumentos que sustentam a efetividade da estratégia de desenvolvimento de substituição de importações, em especial para o caso do Brasil contrapondo as posições pró liberalização comercial, que sustentam estratégias alternativas, notadamente os regimes voltados às exportações. Assim, na primeira seção, são revistas as razões para sustentar a importância do protecionismo como forma de possibilitar a industrialização em países retardatários. Na segunda seção, são discutidos os argumentos de autores mais liberais, que defendem a supremacia da estratégia de crescimento voltada às exportações, inicialmente baseados na visão de vantagens comparativas estáticas e, posteriormente, em fatores dinâmicos, como economias de escala e acumulação de fatores de produção mais qualificados. Também considerarn que as economias mais abertas, tem maior capacidade de enfrentar os choques externos, como o do petróleo em 1974. Na terceira seção, as duas posições são confrontadas com estudos empíricos que relacionam regimes de comércio com crescimento econômico. Finalmente, na quarta seção, são apontadas algumas conclusões a respeito do debate sobre a estratégia de desenvolvimento.

Trade barriers and productivity growth: cross-industry evidence

This article investigates the impact of trade protection on the evolution of labor productivity and total factor productivity (TFP) of the Brazilian manufacturing sector. An annual panel-dataset of 16 industries for the years 1985 through 1997, a period that includes a major trade liberalization, was used. The regressions reported here are robust to openness indicator (nominal tari®s and e®ective protection rate were used), control variables and time period and suggest that barriers to trade negatively a®ects productivity growth at industry level: those sectors with lower barriers experienced higher growth. We were also able to link the observed increase of industry productivity growth after 1991 to the widespread reduction on exective protection experienced in the country in the nineties.

Multiple equilibria and protectionism

In a nonnative approach, I analyze trade policies when the industrial sector genentes positive extemalities in production, and there are adjustments costs to changing production from one sector to the other. Protectionist trade policy can make workers intemalize the benetits from moving into the industrial sector, but it is a second best policy as it also causes consumption distortions. I show that if the govemment is able to fully commit to its tariff schedule for the future, the welfare maximizing policy is to maintain a positive tariff forever, even after all adjustment has already taken place . However, if the govemment is not able to commit at all, the only time consistent policy is zero tariff at any point in time. The time inconsistency of the full commitment policy is derived from the fact that in the model only production needs interference, and the production distortion is lagged one period with respect to the tariff wbile the consumption distortion is simultaneous to the tariff. In the intermediary case, i.e., when the government can commit for a limited period of time, the time consistent optimal tariff will be positive but lower than the "full commitment" tariff. This result indicates that some institutions that have always been considered pure sources of inefficiency, such as protectionist lobbying, may in fact be welfare improving in some cases!
