The present Doctoral Thesis, which is based on the concept of reading as a dialogical-discursive act, with responsible and responsive understandings, considering the relationship between the Dialogical Theory of Language (Bakhtin and the Circle) and Educommunication, consists of an action research carried out in a 2nd grade public high school class, in Campina Grande - PB. The research sustains the thesis that ...
The present work articulates a debate between the mediation of conflicts and contemporary democracy, with the object of investigation the theoretical foundations of mediation in contemporary democracy. Thus, it is intended to answer the following problem: To what extent is it possible to identify in Hans Kelsen's Theory of Democracy a theoretical basis for the mediation of conflicts in contemporary democracy? F...
The current paper has the objective to analyze the residual tension profile on the welded joints of the API 5L X65 steel, on the transversal and longitudinal directions, identifying the critical points close to the root face and the weld face. For this study two wending processes were used in the specimens: For the root pass it was used the Shield Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process. For the hot passes, the fillin...
Resistance Welding is a process that allows a high productivity, does not use addition material and presents an excellent quality in welded joints. Due to its characteristics, it is widely used in the automobile industry. With the use of high performance steels and structural adhesives in the union of the plates, a greater challenge arises in the parameterization of the weld to guarantee the absence of expulsio...
This work addressed problems of location and allocation of call centers with probabilistic demands. It was proposed to use a probabilistic optimization model proposed by Beraldi, Bruni and Conforti (2004), in which randomness is identified in the demand process assuming that the variables involved had a Poisson distribution. In this work, we also admit probabilistic demands, but with the distribution of poisson...
Ante a realidade de utilização do petróleo e do gás natural como as fontes energéticas mais consumidas no mundo e da importância estratégica que existe quando se é um país exportador dessas fontes, o Brasil, com a descoberta de campos petrolíferos gigantes nas Bacias de Campos e de Santos, aparentemente assumiu um papel diverso daquele que vinha representando até então. Passou de país que ainda importava parte ...
Adsorption of organic molecules in the clays minerals can lead to the formation of the hybrid materials and/or nanocomposites through different interaction mechanisms, making these materials interesting for several applications. The present work presents two different applications for a montmorillonite clay : as a support for the removal of proteins in the process of wine clarification/stabilization and as a su...
The relationship between investment and financing is one of the most explored issues in corporate finance. Literature has shown that financial constraints are linked to firm’s ability to finance and credit rationing is linked to the ability of financial agents on offering credit for companies that request financing. In this context, the aim of this research is to show evidences of the effect of credit rationing...
Nowdays we are living the era of globalization, where the vast majority of corporations work with services provided through the internet. In these, no tonly the access, but also the provisioning of physical resources, is done in a distributed way (like clouds). Even the form of development teams became spaced out geographically. Although slowly, implementation activity and deployment strategies begin to follow ...
To think of the religious phenomenon from the proposals of Ludwig Feuerbach consists in the solid development of a critique of Christianity and its interference in western culture. The aim of the present research is to analyze the course of Feuerbach 's philosophy towards the reform of philosophy, which establishes the philosophy of the future, here understood as the philosophy of religion. The critical analysi...
