Accretionary and collisional processes of the Brasiliano Orogeny recorded by the Tonian La Tuna ophiolite, Dom Feliciano Belt, Uruguay.
Accretionary to collisional orogenies such as the Brasiliano Orogeny of eastern South America present the opportunity to distinguish between oceanic-continental (accretionary) and continental (collisional) processes. However, the multitude of geotectonic processes involved and the reduced degree of preservation of the accretionary stage restrain the interpretation of evidence. This study focuses on a metasomatite associated with the La Tuna Ophiolite in the southern Dom Feliciano Belt of the Uruguayan Shield, as these can provide crucial insights into the accretionary stage of the Brasiliano Orogeny. The metasomatite occurs as a meter-sized massive tourmalinite body surrounded by a meter-wide chloritite lens, both enclosed by the La Tuna serpentinite. Our SEM-EDS and EPMA data revealed that the serpentines from the La Tuna ophiolite are antigorite and lizardite, while chlorite was identified as clinochlore. Abundant inclusions of sheridanite chlorite in dravite tourmaline suggests that tourmaline overgrew chlorite. Dravite crystals revealed the presence of three diffuse zones with minor compositional variations, mainly enrichments in Ca and Fe towards the rims. The U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dating of metasomatic zircon yielded ages of 743.2 ± 3.4 Ma (n = 22) for the chloritite and 743.1 ± 2.4 Ma (n = 31) for the tourmalinite. High δ11B values (+12.1‰ to + 18.1‰) of tourmaline (LA-ICP-MS) suggest that the metasomatic event was caused by seawater-derived fluids in a fluid-dominated environment. The single metasomatic U-Pb age combined with the high δ11B values suggest that the metasomatites underwent more intense metasomatic events than those associated with the Bossoroca (− 8.5‰ to +1.8‰) and the Ibar ́e ophiolites (+3.2‰ to +5.2‰) further north in the São Gabriel Terrane of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Nonetheless, a few spots in tourmaline located within fracture zones and in contact with chlorite displayed negative (c. − 5‰) and low positive δ11B values (c. 2‰). These are interpreted as overprinting by crustal fluids, either during the tectonic emplacement of the La Tuna Ophiolite or during exhumation. The calculated TDM Hf model ages for zircon in tourmalinite and chloritite range from 0.74 to 1.09 Ga and their εHf(T) values range from +4.9 to +11.2,
indicating derivation from depleted mantle sources. The data corroborate earlier results indicating that the associated La Tuna amphibolites have composition similar to N-MORB. Furthermore, the trace element composition of zircon in the metasomatites is consistent with an oceanic environment (U/Yb < 0.1). Geotectonically, the La Tuna metasomatites formed at 743 ± 2 Ma in an oceanic setting, most likely in a juvenile Adamastor Ocean basin. During the collisional stage of the Brasiliano Orogeny, the La Tuna Ophiolite was tectonically emplaced within the <666 Ma La Micaela Schist of the Paso del Dragon ́ Complex. As such, this study on the La Tuna Ophiolite contributes direct evidence on the oceanic evolution leading up to the accretionary stage of the Brasiliano Orogeny and provides new constraints on the transition towards the collisional stage
Purchasing challenges in times of COVID-19 : resilience practices to mitigate disruptions in the health-care supply chain.
Purpose – This study aims to identify supply chain (SC) management practices applied to purchasing
capable of improving the resilience of the health-care SC and mitigating the effects of material and service
disruption during pandemics.
Design/methodology/approach – The approach adopted is qualitative and is based on a systematic
literature review from the ScienceDirect, Emerald, Wiley and Web of Science databases. After selecting 705
documents, filters are applied, and 52 articles present problems faced by purchasing the health-care SC during
the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Findings – This article suggests five propositions of resilient practices that can increase purchasing
resilience in the face of pandemics such as COVID-19. The proposed practices are collaboration, flexibility,
visibility, agility and information sharing, which suggest a sequence for the adoption of management
practices based on the number of occurrences and importance found in the analysed studies.
Research limitations/implications – This study does not find robust empirical evidence that could
categorically state that the results can be replicated in organisations in general. Thus, as a continuation of
research, more studies should use an empirical methodology and case analysis to organise different branches.
As the human factor was decisive for the results observed in the literature, future research should dedicate
part of the studies to the psychological area of professionals. Actions to combat the pandemic were
implemented, impacting positively and negatively on the results obtained. Future research on combat actions
could indicate which ones should be avoided.
Practical implications – As a result, disruptions are expected to be reduced, and consequently, the
resilience of the SC will increase. Accordingly, purchasing processes and procedures can be redefined to
positively influence the resilience of the health-care SC. Resilience is related to maintaining the flow of supply,
as well as systems and actions aimed at mitigating the effects of disruptions in the hospital’s core business.
Social implications – Health systems need to respond to society’s needs even in the face of global crises,
such as the one faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The overload in hospitals and the exponential demand
for specific medicines and services in the fight against the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic require
enormous coordination in procurement by the purchasing sector. This planning aims to ensure that the care
provided by health services maintains the flow of value that serves hospitalised patients.
Originality/value – This study introduces a new approach to the recurrent problem of disruption of the
health-care SC during a pandemic using a combination of five important management practices. This proves
useful for mitigating disruptions and their effects on the health-care SC
Óleos vegetais e os impactos na saúde humana : um olhar químico por meio de experimentos investigativos.
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ensino de Ciências, Instituto de Ciências Exatas e Biológicas, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.As atividades experimentais investigativas, quando bem planejadas e desenvolvidas, podem
propiciar o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos que vão para além da aquisição de conceitos
estanques da Ciência. Estas atividades podem ser construídas por meio de sequências de aulas
sobre determinados conteúdos, visando à participação ativa dos discentes na construção de
saberes, sob orientação do docente. Fundamentando-se nessa perspectiva, a presente
dissertação, objetiva analisar uma sequência didática que apresenta experimentos
investigativos sobre óleos vegetais e os impactos na saúde humana, tendo como lente,
principalmente, o conhecimento químico. Com o intuito de atingir o objetivo proposto,
inicialmente, realizamos uma revisão de literatura na Revista Química Nova na Escola
(QNesc), encontrando 12 (doze) trabalhos voltados para a temática. Por meio desse
levantamento foi possível perceber que a experimentação investigativa pode promover o
desenvolvimento de habilidades de argumentação, questionamento e análise crítica dos
fenômenos em estudo, potencializando a formação de jovens cientistas e de sujeitos mais bem
preparados para o exercício da cidadania. Somado a isso, compreendemos a importância de
avançarmos para além do nível visual (fenomenológico) do experimento, ou seja, é necessário
a compreensão dos fenômenos no nível microscópico e representacional, tal como defende
Johnstone. Nesse contexto, do ponto de vista metodológico, foi construída uma sequência
didática composta por 7 aulas, propondo investigações acerca dos óleos vegetais. Essa
sequência foi aplicada em um colégio da rede particular de Ensino, situado na cidade de Belo
Horizonte – MG, no âmbito do itinerário formativo do Novo Ensino Médio intitulado de
“Investigações e Análises Químicas”. Ao final da sequência didática foi aplicado um
questionário para os vinte e dois (22) estudantes participantes da disciplina, sendo esse o
instrumento analítico de pesquisa. Os dados construídos no questionário foram analisados por
meio da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. Por meio desse referencial foi possível categorizar as
respostas em três eixos, sendo eles: Os três níveis do conhecimento químico: uma análise das
transições feitas pelos estudantes; Potencialidades e desafios ao vivenciar uma sequência
didática que engloba experimentos investigativos; A formação do espírito investigativo em
aulas de Química: o que relatam os estudantes? Como resultado principal percebemos que os
discentes têm dificuldade na busca e confirmação das informações obtidas por meio da
experimentação investigava, e apresentam maior facilidade em interagir, preponderantemente,
com as observações em nível fenomenológico. Por esta razão, acreditamos ser importante
elaborar sequências didáticas que fomentem a extrapolação para além desse nível, ou seja,
avançando nos aspectos representacionais e teóricos do fenômeno em estudo. E, por fim,
notamos o afloramento da curiosidade dos discentes pelo assunto óleos vegetais, o que
contribuiu para a formação do espírito investigativo, instigando assim a formação de jovens
cientistas.Investigative experimental activities, when well planned and developed, can provide the development of knowledge that goes beyond the acquisition of watertight concepts of science. These activities can be built through sequences of classes on certain contents, aiming at the active participation of students in the construction of knowledge, under the guidance of the teacher. Based on this perspective, the present dissertation aims to analyze a didactic sequence that presents investigative experiments on vegetable oils and the impacts on human health, having as a lens, mainly, chemical knowledge. In order to reach the proposed objective, initially, we carried out a literature review in the Revista Química Nova na Escola (QNesc), finding 12 (twelve) works focused on the theme. Through this survey, it was possible to perceive that investigative experimentation can promote the development of argumentation skills, questioning and critical analysis of the phenomena under study, enhancing the formation of young scientists and subjects better prepared for the exercise of citizenship. Added to this, we understand the importance of moving beyond the visual (macroscopic) level of the experiment, that is, it is necessary to understand the phenomena at the microscopic and representational level, as advocated by Johnstone. In this context, from the methodological point of view, a didactic sequence consisting of 7 classes was constructed, proposing investigations about vegetable oils. This sequence was applied in a private school, located in the city of Belo Horizonte - MG, within the scope of the training itinerary of the New High School entitled “Investigations and Chemical Analysis”. At the end of the didactic sequence, a questionnaire was applied to the twenty-two (22) students participating in the course, which was the analytical research instrument. The data constructed in the questionnaire were analyzed using Bardin's Content Analysis. Through this framework, it was possible to categorize the answers into three axes, namely: The three levels of chemical knowledge: an analysis of the transitions made by the students; Potentialities and challenges when experiencing a didactic sequence that encompasses investigative experiments; The formation of an investigative spirit in Chemistry classes: what do students report? As a main result, we noticed that the students have difficulty in searching and confirming the information obtained through the investigated experimentation, and they have greater ease in interacting, mainly, with the observations at a phenomenological level. For this reason, we believe it is important to develop didactic sequences that encourage extrapolation beyond this level, that is, advancing in the representational and theoretical aspects of the phenomenon under study. And, finally, we note the emergence of students' curiosity for the subject of vegetable oils, which contributed to the formation of an investigative spirit, thus instigating the formation of young scientists
Responsabilização do homem autor de violência contra a mulher : contribuições do paradigma da restauratividade e da psicanálise.
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito. Departamento de Direito, Escola de Direito, Turismo e Museologia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.Esta pesquisa se propõe a compreender quais os efeitos decorrentes da participação de homens
autores de violência contra a mulher, encaminhados pelo Poder Judiciário da Comarca de Mariana-
MG, numa intervenção de grupo, capitaneada por uma forma de justiça, parcialmente, alinhavada ao
paradigma da restauratividade, num diálogo com o dispositivo da Conversação, preconizado pela
Psicanálise, de orientação lacaniana (MILLER, 2003). A relevância se dá por reconhecer que a política
criminal, adotada pela Justiça no Brasil, lastreada pela pena aflitiva, é incapaz de prevenir a violência
de gênero, assim como promover ressocialização, o que motiva o uso da Justiça Restaurativa. À vista
disso, o itinerário focaliza, inicialmente, os estudos de gênero numa perspectiva feminista,
demonstrando intersecções entre o patriarcado, a construção social da masculinidade e o exercício
da violência. Em seguida, localizando o ramo jurídico da pesquisa, discuto a Justiça Restaurativa,
cujas técnicas podem ser aplicadas às demandas situadas na seara penal, conforme Resolução no
225/2016, do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ). Como o homem autor de violência contra a mulher
é foco empírico de reflexão e ação da pesquisa, produções que versam sobre as experiências em
grupo reflexivos e responsabilizantes com eles, consoantes ao proclamado da Lei Federal n.o 11.340
(BRASIL, 2006), são apresentadas. Nesta direção, foi estruturada uma pesquisa-intervenção baseada,
no método clínico de pesquisa e na metodologia da Conversação, que possibilitou a escuta coletiva
de homens autores de violência contra a mulher em 6 (seis) encontros. Os discursos dos
participantes foram orquestrados em seis categorias de análise: a) para além da nomeação: “nem
todos os homens são iguais”; b) O coro dos homens: “eu não fiz nada pra estar aqui”; c) o gênero
entra na roda da Conversação; d) “Lei Maria da Penha”: que subjetividade a Lei Federal n.o 11.340
(BRASIL, 2006) produz nos homens participantes da pesquisa?; e) da crítica à racionalidade e prática
da perspectiva punitiva-prisional ao paradigma restaurativo; f) a Conversação sob a análise dos
participantes. Dentre os resultados obtidos, foi revelado que a experiência do grupo é singular e,
neste quesito, não apreensível em denominadores comuns. Os efeitos da Conversação, mencionados
pelos participantes, foram: ajuda à família; alívio às dores do processo; resolve o caso sem condenar
e prender; promove esclarecimento e consciência sobre as leis. Sendo assim, evidenciou-se a tensão
indissolúvel entre a responsabilização jurídica, que se pretende universal, e a responsabilização
subjetiva, que se dá um a um.This research proposes to comprehend the effects due to the participation of men authors of
violence against women, forwarded to the Judiciary Power of the Jurisdiction of Mariana-MG, in a
group intervention, led by a form of justice, mainly, align to the paradigm of restorativeness, in a
dialog with the Conversation device, advocated by psychoanalyses, of Lacanian orientation (MILLER,
2003). The Relevance is given by recognizing that the criminal politics, adopted by the Justice in
Brazil, weighted down by the afflictive penalty is incapable to prevent the gender violence, as well as
to promote resocialization, which motivates the use of Restorative Justice. In view of this, the
itinerary focuses, initially, on the studies of gender in a feminist perspective, demonstrating
intersections between the patriarchy, masculinity’s social construction and the exercise of violence.
After that, locating the legal branch of research, I discuss the Restorative Justice, whose techniques
can be applied to the demands situated on the penal field, according to Resolution No. 225/2016, of
the National Council of Justice (CNJ). As the man author of violence against a woman is the empirical
focus of reflection and action of research, productions that deal with the experiences in a reflective
group and responsible with them, consonants to the proclaimed of the Federal Law No. 11.340
(BRAZIL, 2006), are presented. In this direction, it was structured an intervention-research based, on
the clinical method of research and in the methodology of Conversation, that enabled the collective
hearing of men authors of violence against women in 6 (six) meetings. The speech of the participants
were orchestrated in six categories of analysis: a) beyond nomination: “not all men are the same”; b)
The choir of men: “I didn’t do anything to be here”; c) the gender gets in the circle of the
conversation; d) “Maria da Penha Law”: which subjectivity of the Federal Law No. 11.340 (BRAZIL,
2006) produces in the participating men of the research?; e) the critics to the rationality and practice
of the prisonal-punitive perspective to the restorative paradigm; f) the Conversation under the
analysis of the participants. Among the acquired results, it was revealed that the group experience is
singular and, in this aspect, not apprehensible in common denominators. The effects of the
Conversation, mentioned by the participants, were: help to the family; a relief to the process pain;
resolves the case without condemning or arresting; promotes enlightenment and conscience about
the laws. Therefore, the indissoluble tension was evident between the legal accountability, that is
intended to be universal, and the subjective accountability, which is given one by one
Dynamics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in waste stabilization ponds : insights into co-treatment of sanitary sewage and landfill leachate.
A thorough comprehension of dissolved organic matter (DOM) transformation in wastewater treatment plants is vital for their efficient operation and the production of high-quality effluent. However, little attention has been given to understanding DOM transformation and its potential impacts in stabilization pond systems, which heavily rely on biological processes. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap by investigating the transformations of DOM in stabilization ponds co-treating sanitary sewage and landfill leachate. A case study was
conducted at the Ouro Branco WWTP in Brazil. Spectroscopic tools, including UV–Vis spectroscopy parameters (UV-254, URI), and molecular fluorescence (Excitation-Emission Matrix - EEM), were employed to assess the quality of organic matter. The findings revealed the prevalence of humic-like fluorophores associated with landfill leachate in all sampling points, including the final effluent. Notably, anaerobic ponds exhibited significantly higher fluorescence removal (peak A (80 %) > peak B (78 %) > peak C (76 %) > peak T (75 %))
compared to facultative ponds (peak T (29 %) > peak B (26 %) > peak C (19 %) > peak A (16 %)). The influent and final effluent displayed the most intricate DOM characteristics. While the influent characteristics were linked to the addition of landfill leachate, those of the final effluent were likely due to the release of soluble microbial products (SMPs)
El cotidiano escolar de educación infantil y sus artes de hacerlo : las astucias de las mujeres profesoras.
Este artigo apresenta parte de uma pesquisa em andamento, que tem por objetivo analisar a dinâmica e os efeitos da experiência docente de mulheres professoras da educação infantil da Rede Municipal de Belo Horizonte. Trata-se da revisão de literatura das principais noções que servem para as análises da pesquisa: experiência ética em Michel Foucault e astúcias em Michel de Certeau. Entende-se que as professoras analisadas, por meio de um certo número de astúcias, agem, no cotidiano escolar, a partir de outros esquemas e com base em outros saberes, operando resistências, rupturas e desvios em relação às recomendações oficiais e teóricas. Nesse sentido, elas criam, por meios dessa prática, um estilo de docência próprio, ou seja, uma determinada experiência docente.Este artículo presenta parte de una investigación en curso, que tiene como objetivo analizar la dinámica y los efectos de la experiencia docente de las profesoras mujeres de la educación infantil en la Red Municipal de Belo Horizonte.

Estudo comparativo de gramáticas pré e pós-NGB : o tratamento dado à predicação e transitividade dos verbos de movimento Chegar/Ir/Vir.
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Departamento de Letras, Instituto de Ciências Humanas e Sociais, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.Esta dissertação, que se propõe investigativa e descritiva, revisita oito fontes primárias, gramáticas da língua portuguesa (séculos XIX e XX) e publicadas em solo brasileiro. Tem como propósito geral analisar e comparar a classificação terminológica conferida à predicação e transitividade dos verbos chegar, ir, vir com ideia de movimento/deslocamento físico. A pesquisa situa-se no domínio da Historiografia Linguística (HL), aqui entendida como estudo de fatos históricos da língua (continuidade e descontinuidade) em fontes gramaticais. Além das contribuições da linguística acerca da conceituação de predicação e transitividade, três outros cenários são percorridos com o propósito de ampararem esta pesquisa: i) conceitos de gramática; ii) definição de gramatização; e iii) exposição de percurso gramaticográfico. Em seguida, são tecidas algumas considerações sobre a Nomenclatura Gramatical Brasileira (NGB) para adiante serem analisadas as obras gramaticais que estão circunscritas em dois períodos pré-NGB: Ribeiro (1891), Maciel (1918), Pereira (1921) e Brandão (1963); e pós-NGB: Tôrres (1959), Said Ali (1966), Cunha (1975) e Bechara (1980). No caso da obra de Brandão (1963), embora publicada após a NGB, seu conteúdo mantém-se vinculado ao período anterior a ela. As gramáticas foram examinadas em sua imanência e, posteriormente, analisadas umas às outras, levando-se em consideração os aportes teóricos de quatro fontes secundárias, a saber, dois dicionários técnicos: Câmara Jr. (2009) e Dubois et al. (1978) e duas gramáticas: Azeredo (2008) e Hauy (2015). A hipótese que guia a presente pesquisa é a de que, no período anterior à NGB, as gramáticas não atribuíam à tríade verbal a terminologia de intransitiva , visto que o termo adjacente a esses verbos é necessário e não acessório/dispensável. Como resultados, observou-se que o campo gramatical do verbo se apresenta complexo e extenso e qualquer análise renderia profícuos estudos. Outro aspecto verificado a partir desta pesquisa diz respeito às diversas terminologias conferidas à predicação e transitividade de chegar, ir, vir, por exemplo, verbo de predicação incompleta adjuntivo, bem como a seus termos adjacentes. Com isso, pôde-se perceber que apenas Said Ali (1966) e Cunha (1975) classificam a tríade verbal com base na proposta da NGB verbo intransitivo , o que induz ao pensamento de que os critérios propostos pela Norma são insipientes para tal. Por outro lado, a falta de estandardização da terminologia pré-NGB, provavelmente, provocou naquela época críticas, autonomização e consequentes lacunas. Por fim, destaca-se que os processos de gramatização e de gramaticografia foram propulsores e apoio para o desenvolvimento dos estudos da historiografia linguística.This dissertation, which is proposed as investigative and descriptive, revisits eight primary sources - grammars of the Portuguese language (19th and 20th centuries) published in Brazil. Its general purpose is to analyze and compare the terminological classification given to the predication and transitivity of the Portuguese verbs chegar, ir, vir with the idea of physical movement/displacement. The research is situated in the domain of Linguistic Historiography (HL), here understood as the study of language historical facts (continuity and discontinuity) in grammatical sources. In addition to the linguistics contributions regarding the conceptualization of predication and transitivity, three other scenarios are traversed with the purpose of supporting this research: (i) grammar concepts; (ii) grammatization definition; and (iii) exposition of grammaticographic path. Next, there are presented some considerations about the Nomenclatura Gramatical Brasileira (NGB); afterwards, there are analyzed the grammatical works that are circumscribed in two periods pre-BGN: Ribeiro (1891), Maciel (1918), Pereira (1921) and Brandão (1963); and post-BGN: Tôrres (1959), Said Ali (1966), Cunha (1975) and Bechara (1980). In the case of Brandão s work (1963), although published after the NGB, it maintains its content linked to the period before the BGN. The grammars were examined in their immanence, and later, analyzed in relation to each other, taking into account the theoretical contributions of four secondary sources, namely, two technical dictionaries: Câmara Jr. (2009) and Dubois et al. (1978), and two grammars: Azeredo (2008) and Hauy (2015). The hypothesis guiding this research work is that, in the period before the NGB, grammars did not attribute the terminology of intransitive to the verbal triad, since the term adjacent to these verbs is necessary and not accessory/disposable. As a result, one observe that the grammatical field of the verb presents itself as complex and extensive, and any analysis would yield fruitful studies. Another aspect verified from this research concerns the various terminologies attributed to the predication and transitivity of chegar, ir, vir, for example, adjunctive verb of incomplete predication, as well as their adjacent terms. With this, we were able to see that only Said Ali (1966) and Cunha (1975) classify the verbal triad based on the proposal of the NGB intransitive verb, indicating that the criteria proposed by the Standard are insufficient for such classification. On the other hand, the lack of standardization of pre- NGB terminology probably led to criticism and autonomization at that time, resulting in consequent gaps. Finally, it is emphasized that the processes of grammatization and grammaticography were driving forces and support for the development of linguistic historiography studies
Selected cachaça yeast strains share a genomic profile related to traits relevant to industrial fermentation processes.
The isolation and selection of yeast strains to improve the quality of the cachaça—Brazilian Spirit—have been studied in our research group. Our strategy considers Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the predominant species involved in sugarcane juice fermentation and the presence of different stressors (osmolarity, temperature, ethanol content, and competition with other microorganisms). It also considers producing balanced concentrations of volatile compounds (higher alcohols and acetate and/or ethyl esters), flocculation capacity, and ethanol production. Since the genetic bases behind these traits of interest are not fully established, the whole genome sequencing of 11 different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains isolated and selected from different places was analyzed to identify the presence of a specific genetic variation common to cachaça yeast strains. We have identified 20,128 single-nucleotide variants shared by all genomes. Of these shared variants, 37 were new variants (being six missenses), and 4,451 were identified as missenses. We performed a detailed functional annotation (using enrichment analysis, protein–protein interaction network analysis, and database and in-depth literature searches) of these new and missense variants. Many genes carrying these variations were involved in the phenotypes of flocculation, tolerance to fermentative stresses, and production of volatile compounds and ethanol. These results demonstrate the existence of a genetic profile shared by the 11 strains under study that could be associated with the applied selective strategy. Thus, this study points out genes and variants that may be used as molecular markers for selecting strains well suited to the fermentation process, including genetic improvement by genome editing, ultimately producing high-quality beverages and adding value
As boas práticas na condução do processo estrutural : reflexões acerca da atuação do juiz na arguição de descumprimento de preceito fundamental no 709.
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito. Departamento de Direito, Escola de Direito, Turismo e Museologia, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.Este estudo trata dos processos estruturais brasileiros, inspirados no direito norte-
americano, com larga utilização no ordenamento jurídico pátrio. Esses processos tratam
de litígios complexos, relativos a conflitos multipolares ou policêntricos, tendo como
objetivo final a realização de reforma estrutural ou concretização de medida estruturante,
através da remodelação de instituição ou burocracia (no caso deste estudo, estatal),
viabilizando, assim, a concretização de direitos. Nesse contexto, adotou-se como objeto
de estudo a Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental 709, ação de controle
de constitucionalidade relativa às populações indígenas, tendo como escopo os direitos à
saúde e à vida. O recorte é específico quanto à atuação do Ministro Relator na ADPF 709.
A pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as ferramentas e a postura adotadas pelo Ministro
Relator para verificar se as práticas realizadas, no decurso do processo, poderiam ser
caracterizadas como boas práticas na administração da justiça, conforme critérios
estabelecidos por Fredie Didier Jr. e Leandro Fernandez. A metodologia utilizada foi o
estudo de caso e a revisão bibliográfica. Para tanto, são tratados, inicialmente, os
pressupostos da Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental, as generalidades
dos processos estruturais e o contexto para propositura da ADPF 709. Superadas essas
noções básicas, são discutidas as rotinas adotadas na ADPF 709, com posterior submissão
desses padrões aos critérios das boas práticas. Realizada a análise, foi constatada
subsunção das práticas aos requisitos, demonstrando-se, por fim, que o objetivo das boas
práticas foi o “atendimento das peculiaridades de um caso concreto”.This study concerns the Brazilian structural injunctions, lawsuits inspired from North
American Law, widely used on the Brazilian law system. Those procedures have to do
with complex litigation concerning multipolar or policentic conflicts, having as ultimate
goal, the execution of a structural reform or structural measure, materialized through the
remodeling of an institution or bureaucracy (on this study, a state bureaucracy), thus
materializing civil rights. On such context, the Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito
Fundamental 709 was adopted as object of the study, being it a lawsuit of constitutional
control related to the indigenous populations on the context of the civil rights to health
and life. The study will delve specifically into the role of the judge on ADPF 709. The
study sought to assess the tools and the posture of the judge to verify if such performed
practices during the lawsuit could be characterized as good practices on justice
administration, based on the criteria established by Fredie Didier Jr. and Leandro
Fernandez. The methodology selected were the case study and literature review. To
achieve that, the study first analyzed the requisites of the Arguição de Descumprimento
de Preceito Fundamental, the generalities of the structural injunctions and the context of
the filling of ADPF 709. After those basic notions, the practices of ADPF 709 were
assessed and discussed. Lastly, those practices discussed were submitted to the requisites
concerning the good practices on justice administration. After the analysis, it was possible
to verify that the practices were adequate to the requisites. After that, it was demonstrated
that the goal of the aforementioned practices were both “idea of institutionalization” and
“to comply to the peculiarities of the concrete case”
Culture and creativity : a study on the importance and challenges of the development of the creative industry in Brazil.
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Economia Aplicada. Departamento de Ciências Econômicas e Gerenciais, Instituto de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.Com o aprimoramento das tecnologias informacionais e a chegada da chamada Revolução 4.0,
a economia criativa vem conquistando um papel de maior destaque nas discussões sobre o
desenvolvimento econômico. O setor cultural possui laços estreitos com a Indústria Criativa -
IC, de forma que uma tende a fomentar a existência da outra. No presente trabalho testou-se
como as cidades brasileiras com mais de 200 mil habitantes se agrupam, dadas as características
suas Indústrias Criativas e Culturais e indicadores socioeconômicos adaptados para o caso da
IC brasileira, através de uma análise de clusters. Foram analisados, também, os componentes
principais responsáveis pela caracterização dos agrupamentos. O objetivo da pesquisa foi, a
partir dos testes e análises realizados, encontrar clusters formados pelas cidades analisadas e
compreender como fatores socioeconômicos afetam suas distribuições. As bases de dados
utilizadas na análise foram retiradas da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais - RAIS, das
bases do Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Intelectual - INPI, do Atlas da Violência do Instituto
de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada - IPEA e dos resultados eleitorais divulgados pelo Tribunal
Superior Eleitoral - TSE. Os resultados indicaram a existência de ao menos 4 clusters criativos
no Brasil considerando os indicadores propostos, sendo cada um deles diferentemente
influenciados pelos componentes encontrados. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram haver
relação entre as variáveis analisadas e a formação de agrupamentos de cidades com ICs
semelhantes, confirmando a hipótese da pesquisa.With the improvement of information technology and the arrival of the so-called 4.0
Revolution, the creative economy has been gaining a more prominent role in discussions about
economic development. The cultural sector has close ties to the Creative Industry (CI), so that
one tends to foster the existence of the other. In this study, we tested how Brazilian cities with
over 200,000 inhabitants are grouped, given the characteristics of their Creative and Cultural
Industries and socioeconomic indicators adapted for the Brazilian CI’s case, through a cluster
analysis. The principal components responsible for the characterization of the groups were also
analyzed. The research aimed to find clusters formed by the analyzed cities and to understand
how socioeconomic factors affect their distributions, based on the tests and analyses conducted.
The databases used in the analysis were taken from the Annual Social Information Report
(RAIS), the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), the Violence Atlas of the Institute
of Applied Economic Research (IPEA), and the election results published by the Superior
