Relevant aspects to promote innovation in small businesses: Aspectos relevantes para impulsar la innovación en pequeñas empresas
No full textDear Editor,The original article published in your magazine, titled service design for innovation in small andmedium businesses from the author Carvalho (2019) concludes that small companies can innovatetheir services without incurring large costs and demanding a large amount of time, the mostimportant is involved to the users strongly. To complement this research, the study carried out bySánchez, Cervantes, y Peralta (2016) mentions that in order to carry out and efficient managementof the innovation in the small companies, it is necessary to encourage and take advantage of theinnovative skills and abilities of collaborators, involving them during the strategic planning andmotivating them to participate with their ideas in the innovation process. For which, it’s necessaryto create a favorable working environment and formal procedures for the reception and evaluationof the creative ideas that may be presented by the workers. This position is reinforced by the studycarried out by Pertuz, Boscan, Straccia, y Pérez (2016), who recommend developing the capabilitiesof collaborators through the formation of multidisciplinary teams within the organization
A mulher na coluna Retratos Femininos : tensão entre memória e esquecimento
No full textThe present study aims to discursively analyze the newspaper column Retratos Femininos,
published in 'A semana', a newspaper based in Sergipe, with circulation in Simão Dias,
Paripiranga, Lagarto, from 1946 - 1969. "Retratos" profiled women from Simão Dias,
according to its author (Carvalho Déda, under pseudonym of “Leonardo De Vince”),
observations regarding their physical and psychological traits. We seek to analyze this column
so as to understand the discourses contained therein: whether conservative and part of a
disciplinary society or, contrarily, whether this discourse is disrupted. Consequently, we study
the conditions for discourse production, authorship, subjectivity, truth, power/knowledge,
discipline, develop by Foucault; we also consider Gregolin when analyzing media discourse.
For analysis purposes, we select the columns that were published during the first year of the
newspaper (1946), comprised of sixteen editions, due to its uninterrupted characteristic
regarding the process from production to newspaper circulation. As for the analysis
methodology, we employ Foucault's teachings, in "The Archaeology of Knowledge", "The
Discourse on Language", similarly, we employ the ideas of Orlandi (2015).O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar discursivamente a coluna Retratos
Femininos, do jornal sergipano ‘A Semana’, circulado nos municípios de Simão Dias,
Paripiranga, Lagarto, entre 1946 - 1969. A “Retratos” perfilava mulheres da cidade de Simão
Dias, consoante suas características físicas, psicológicas, sob a observação do proprietário do
jornal Carvalho Déda, sob o pseudônimo de Leonardo de Vince. Buscamos analisar esta
coluna, para entendermos os discursos que a atravessam: se conservador e parte de uma
sociedade de bases disciplinares ou, contrariamente, se há o rompimento desses discursos.
Consequentemente, estudamos as condições de produção das descrições dos perfis, a autoria,
a subjetividade, a verdade. Nesses termos, como aporte teórico, adotamos a Análise de
Discurso de vertente francesa, com vistas às noções de discurso, sujeito, Memória,
Interdiscurso, conforme Orlandi; os conceitos de enunciado, autoria, verdade, poder/saber,
disciplina, desenvolvidos por Foucault; contamos ainda com as contribuições de Gregolin,
quanto aos discursos da mídia. Para efeitos de análise, selecionamos as colunas concernentes
ao primeiro ano do jornal (1946), composta por dezesseis edições, por seu caráter ininterrupto
atinente ao processo desde a produção à veiculação dos jornais. Quanto à metodologia de
análise, empregamos os ensinamentos de Foucault, em “Arqueologia do Saber”, “A Ordem do
Discurso” e utilizamos os conceitos de Orlandi (2015).São Cristóvão, S
Auditoria de inteligência para a gestão de coleções na biblioteca da Assembleia Legislativa do Rio Grande do Norte
No full textInformation Management contributes to optimize the informational flow according to
the demands and informational requirements of the organization. In the library
environment, Information Management is accomplished through Collection
Management, which aims to manage the life cycle of the items in the collections to
make them more accessible. In This Panorama, the Intelligence Audit, which is
characterized as a type of Audit of Informational Assets, offers the operational tooling
to evaluate the management of informational assets, its components, as well as the
relationship with the environment, Providing subsidies for its improvement. Thus, this
research has as its main objective to audit the Information Management in the Library
Congressman Márcio Marinho, categorised, theoretically, as a Parliamentary Library, which is part of the structure of the Escola da Assembleia Legislativa do Rio Grande
do Norte (EALRN). The specific objectives are: a) to analyze the adequacy of the
acquis to the informational needs of users and to the maintenance organization; b)
Identify strengths and weaknesses of collection management; c) Verify that the
objectives of the library are being achieved; d) Propose recommendations that
contribute to the establishment of a Collection Management policy. The methodology
is based on the model of the Intelligence Audit of the author Carvalho, A. (2010), which audits and relates internal and external aspects for an organizational holistic
evaluation, in this case adapted to the library in the public legislative sector. The
Collection Instruments adopted were: questionnaire, semi-structured interview, observation and documentary research. Data analysis is based on descriptive
statistics and content analysis. The stages of the study were: a) analysis of the
environment, encompassing the interests of the library users and environmental
factors that influence the performance of the Assembleia Legislativa do Rio Grande
do Norte; b) Internal analysis of the maintenance Organization (EALRN); c) Analysis
of the information environment of the Library and Collection Management; d) Cross- sectional analysis of all the plans studied, interrelating the audited aspects and
pointing out the findings and recommendations to improve the management of the
Library collection. The results obtained demonstrate that the Information
Management in this library is incomplete and needs to better understand its
surroundings, correct the management of its informational resources, as well as to
know its network of actors and diversify its channels of Communication to improve
the satisfaction rate of its users.A Gestão da Informação contribui para otimizar o fluxo informacional de acordo com
as demandas e requisitos informacionais da organização. No ambiente de
bibliotecas, a Gestão da Informação se realiza mediante a Gestão de Coleções, que
visa administrar o ciclo de vida dos itens nas coleções para torná-los mais acessíveis. Neste panorama, a Auditoria de Inteligência, que se caracteriza como um tipo de
Auditoria de Ativos Informacionais, oferece o ferramental operacional para avaliar o
gerenciamento dos ativos informacionais, seus componentes, bem como a relação
com o entorno, oferecendo subsídios para seu aperfeiçoamento. Dessa forma, esta
pesquisa tem como objetivo principal auditar a Gestão da Informação na Biblioteca
Deputado Márcio Marinho, categorizada, teoricamente, como uma Biblioteca
Parlamentar,que faz parte da estrutura da Escola da Assembleia Legislativa do Rio
Grande do Norte (EALRN). Os objetivos específicos são: a) analisar a adequação do
acervo às necessidades informacionais dos usuários e às da organização
mantenedora; b) identificar pontos fortes e fracos da gestão da coleção; c) verificar
se os objetivos da biblioteca estão sendo alcançados; d) propor recomendações que
contribuam para o estabelecimento de uma política de Gestão de Coleções. A
metodologia baseia-se no modelo de Auditoria de Inteligência da autora Carvalho, A. (2010), que audita e relaciona aspectos internos e externos para uma avaliação
holística organizacional, neste caso adaptado à biblioteca no setor público legislativo. Os instrumentos de coleta adotados foram: questionário, entrevista semiestruturada, observação e pesquisa documental. A análise dos dados é baseada na estatística
descritiva e na análise de conteúdo. As etapas do estudo foram: a) análise do
entorno, englobando os interesses dos usuários da biblioteca e fatores ambientais
que influenciam na atuação da Assembleia Legislativa do Rio Grande do Norte; b)
análise interna da organização mantenedora (EALRN); c) análise do ambiente
informacional da Biblioteca e da Gestão da Coleção; d) análise transversal de todos
os planos estudados,inter-relacionando os aspectos auditados e apontando as
constatações e recomendações para aperfeiçoar a gestão da coleção da biblioteca. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que a Gestão da Informação nesta biblioteca
está incompleta e precisa compreender melhor seu entorno, corrigir a gestão de
seus recursos informacionais, bem como, conhecer sua rede de atores e diversificar
seus canais de comunicação para melhorar o índice de satisfação de seus usuários

Discussion. The generic-level classification of the tribe Mirini remains unclear. Several authors, as detailed below, have mentioned the hypothesis of a close relationship between some of the genera treated in this contribution. Usually they have compared only a limited number of genera in each work, however a critical reading of their papers underlines multiple similarities between a majority of taxa across their works. As already noted, the genus Creontiades was described by Distant (1883) for the species Megacoelum rubrinerve Stål, 1862. Later, Reuter (1905 a: 4), in his original description of Pleurochilophorus, briefly compared it with Megacoelum. In his African fauna study, Poppius (1912: 18) compared Pleurochilophorus with both Creontiades and Megacoelum, and Adelphocoridea with Adelphocoris (op. cit.: 47). Linnavuori (1974 a: 8) also considered Megacoelum and Pleurochilophorus as closely related, essentially separated by the head structure. Poppius (1915 a: 14) suggested relationships between his new genus Cheilocapsidea —erected to accommodate a species described by Distant (1909) in Megacoelum —and Pleurochilophorus by choosing to compare it only with this last genus and with Cheilocapsus. Carvalho (1952) synonymized Cheilocapsidea and Tricholygus with Creontiades. Later, he (1983) described Gollneria as a new genus, unfortunately without any comparison with other mirine genera, just stating Gollneria is not a true Megacoelum. Finally, the same author (Carvalho 1987: 156–157) erected Waucoris to accommodate all species described by Poppius (1915 a) under the name Adelphocoris from the Indo-Australian region and compared Waucoris only with Adelphocoris on the basis of not very relevant character states (shape of larger areola of membrane and coloration of tibial spines). Schmitz (1976: 480), partly based on literature, assumed Adelphocoris, Creontiades and Megacoelum belonged to the same group of impunctate Mirini by their head, antennal and tarsal structures. Yasunaga (1990 a: 607) noted a resemblance between Adelphocoris and Creontiades, but considered these genera, with Adelphocorisella, are more closely related to Phytocoris than to Megacoelum (Yasunaga pers. comm. dated March 0 4 th 2015 onwards). In their description of Adelphocorisella, Miyamoto & Yasunaga (1993: 47, 48) compared it only with Adelphocoris. In the second part of his revision of Japanese Creontiades and allies, Yasunaga (1997 b: 729) recognized a close relationship between Megacoelum and Orientomiris. Later, he (1998: 63), noted superficial resemblance of Neomegacoelum with Megacoelum and Orientomiris. Chérot, Yasunaga & Gorczyca (1999) suggested a hypothetical “ Creontiades complex” within the tribe Mirini to group Creontiades, Megacoelum, Neomegacoelum, Orientomiris and Poppiocapsidea. Chérot & Pauwels (2000) did not compare Chimsunchartella with all members of the Adelphocoris- Creontiades - Megacoelum complex as defined in the present work, but noted several similarities between Adelphocoris and Chimsunchartella. A hypothetical phyletic relationship between both genera is suggested by Chérot & Malipatil (2003). Rosenzweig (2001), in his studies on Palearctic Mirini, considered a “ Creontiades complex” including the genera Cheilocapsidea, Creontiades, Megacoelum, Neomegacoelum, Orientomiris, Pleurochilophorus and Poppiocapsidea and an “ Adelphocoris complex” including the single genus Adelphocoris. He noted some resemblance between Adelphocoris and the west-Mediterranean genus Thiomiris Rosenzweig, 1997 — a genus remained unclassified in his system—and placed on the same unranked level as these two complexes, his Closterotomus complex and his Calocoris complex described in more detail in Rosenzweig (1997). The relationships between all these genera, groups or complexes were not tackled in Rosenzweig’s work (op. cit.) and their diagnoses not systematically provided. In his unpublished preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the genera of the tribe Mirini, Chérot (2002) grouped in two basal clades a majority of the genera of the complex as defined here before. However, the matrix used in this cladistics analysis should be reviewed at light of recent works on the tribe, including the present one. Carpintero & Chérot (2002: 44–46) compared Carvalhocapsus (under the junior homonym Carvalhocoris) with the members of Creontiades complex sensu Chérot, Yasunaga & Gorczyca, 1999, also with Adelphocoris, Adelphocoridea, the Mirini with a swollen scutellum (obviously a non-monophyletic convenient group) and Phytocoris. Chérot, Malipatil & Schwartz (2003) mentioned, in a relatively indistinct way, several similarities that existed between male genitalic structures of Neopeplus, Adelphocoridea and Pleurochilophorus such as paramere shape, endophallic sclerite shape and position etc. Yasunaga (2011) assumed, without specified explicitly why, Vairocanamiris to be most closely related to Cheilocapsidea and Cheilocapsus Kirkaldy, 1902, the similarities with some other genera of Mirini including Orientomiris being supposed superficial. For us, the similarities between Cheilocapsidea and Cheilocapsus could also be superficial. The genus Cheilocapsus differs from all members of ACMc, including Cheilocapsidea, by the wide, coreid-like, body shape, the tumid frons, the two last antennal segments significantly narrower than the first two, the shagreened pronotal disk and the dorsal pilosity. As suggested by Yasunaga (2011), a relationship between Cheilocapsus and Pantilius, two genera with similar habitus, seems very likely. The phallic comb of several Phytocoris species seems relatively similar to those observed in Adelphocoris. The comb-shaped almost flat or spoon-like sclerite, with wide and relatively short slightly curved teeth on lateral sides is structurally the same in both genera. In Phytocoris Fallén, 1814, it was considered by Stonedahl (1988) as the apical part—termed “sclerotized process”—of larger structure subdivided at level of secondary gonopore (the “ ACH ” sensu Carpintero & Chérot, 2008) and may support the phallus in inflation. In Adelphocoris, the combshaped sclerite is basally connected to a spicule-like sclerite, generally absent in Phytocoris. Presence of phallic comb could reflect relationships between the genera Adelphocoris and Phytocoris (T. Yasunaga pers. comm. dated from March 4 th 2015). However, phallic structures of Phytocoris are amazingly variable, the comb being frequently absent. The shape of metafemora of Adelphocorisella and Creontiades could also group both genera with Phytocoris. Nonetheless, all Phytocoris species do not have the same metafemoral shape. Moreover, the width of the last two antennal segments, the structure of the vertex, and the dorsal punctation differ between Phytocoris and the members of our hypothetical ACMc. On the basis of external morphology, the African genus Megacoelopsis Poppius, 1912 seems closer to Rosenzweig’s Calocoris and Closterotomus complexes than to our Adelphocoris - Creontiades - Megacoelum complex. This would also be the case with the genera Loristes Josifov & Kerzhner, 1972, Thiomiris Rosenzweig, 1997 and Taurocalocoris Carapezza, 1998, as suggested by Rosenzweig (2001). Some other genera of “impunctate” Mirini, such Liocapsus Poppius, 1915, Orientocapsus Yasunaga & Schwartz, 2007 and Philostephanus Distant, 1909 share several character states with ACMc members, but not all, differing particularly by antennal and head structures and by genitalia of both sexes. To identify which character states are truly homologous or homoplasious and the relationships of these genera with the ACMc members and between them will require a comprehensive cladistics analysis of the tribe at generic level on a world basis. Such analysis would eventually assist in assessing the validity of ACMc of genera as a monophyletic taxon in the tribe Mirini. However we are convinced that a clarification of the definition of each genus is an indispensable prerequisite for such an analysis, even if such analysis could modify the diagnosis and limits of some taxa studied in the present work.Published as part of Chérot, F. & Malipatil, M.
