Abstract:
Human sex trafficking is a significant issue in the modern world. The International Labor Organization has estimated that 4.5 million people are the victims of forced commercial sexual exploitation worldwide. The United States' laws on human sex trafficking can be found in 22 U.S.C. -§7104 Prevention of Trafficking, and promulgate the strategy of prevention of trafficking, protection of trafficking victims, and punishment of traffickers. Under the terms of 22 U.S.C. -§7104, federal contractors can be penalized if any of their employees or subcontractor employees engage in a commercial sex act. The reliance on the private sector to curb sex trafficking through federal contracts is a nuance, and there is a gap in the literature regarding the Congressional rationale for creating a federal contract policy that places federal contractors in the position of being liable for the off-duty activities of their employees. This research question focused on understanding this shift in usage of federal contract policy to influence individual behavior expressed in this Act. A content analysis of documents was performed which relied on official U.S. government documentation, including transcripts of Congressional hearings. The findings indicate that the legislation was a tactical response to a pair of scandals involving U.S. personnel overseas, combined with a belief in money as a motivating force, international political factors, and moral certainty among elected officials that the Federal Government had to 'do something.' Positive social change was addressed in the process of this study by providing greater insight into the legislative thought process regarding federal procurement related statutes, and by providing future reformers with additional information regarding effective legislative strategies.

O presente trabalho propõe-se a analisar se ocorreu gestão democrática nos momentos específicos no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Roraima (IFRR): de Escola Técnica Federal de Roraima para Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica; e de Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica para Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência de Tecnologia de Roraima. Este estudo aborda as importantes etapas de transformação de uma instituição. Para que o objetivo do trabalho se cumpra, adotamos conceitos como o defendido por Vitor Henrique Paro, para quem, em sentido amplo, a democracia é um valor universal. Nesta pesquisa, foram elencados os mecanismos de gestão adotados pela Instituição, na qual se analisou se os referidos mecanismos possibilitaram uma gestão democrática. Outro objetivo foi analisar a efetividade dos instrumentos de gestão utilizados, e se estes garantiram uma participação efetiva na tomada de decisão e na construção dos resultados. A análise dos dados foi baseada em uma conversa estruturada com os protagonistas que estavam na instituição nos momentos de transformação. Foi observado que as categorias analisadas apresentaram grande importância para a aproximação da gestão democrática.
This paper analyses whether democratic management took place in specific moments of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Roraima (IFRR): from Federal Technical School of Roraima to Federal Center of Technological Education; and from Federal Center of Technological Education to Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology. This study approaches the important transformation stages of the institution. In order to achieve the aims of the work, I adopted concepts claimed by Vitor Henrique Paro, to whom democracy is a universal value. In this research, the management mechanisms adopted by the Institution were listed, and I analysed whether those mechanisms made the democratic management possible. Another objective was to analyse the effectivity of the management tools used, and if those tools guaranteed participation in decision making and in result achievement. The data analysis was based on a structured talk with the protagonists who were in the institution at the moments of change. The results demonstrated that the categories analysed were greatly important to approach democratic management.

This study aimed to identify whether the Federal Criminal Forensic Scientists who exercis e their activities in Forensic Science function are motivated to perform their duties and seek to relate the causes of demotivation. Therefore, we made two surveys: a qualitative order, where were interviewed ten (10) Federal Criminal Forensic Scientists , belonging to different areas of knowledge and working in different cities , in order to observe what do the se professionals indicate as their issues related to motivating or demotivating in their job . Later we designed a questionnaire consisting of 46 (fort y - six) closed questions and 2 (two) open questions , which w ere answered by Federal Criminal Experts Forensic Scientists from decentralized units of Criminalistics in Federal Police, with the goal of mapping the m motivation. The results revealed in field re search concluded that the Federal Criminal Forensic Scientists are discouraged from the viewpoint of all the motivational theories addressed in this study. The de motivation is due to several factors: some technical, as the lack of feedback on the effective ness of the work or the lack of equality in the distribution of services, other than the philosophical factors , the lack of an esprit de corps - a professional identity – and a relativized autonomy , or , beside this, organizational factors , such as lack of recognition by the Federal Police, to the importance of Federal Criminal Forensic Science , or problems related to the management approach based on hierarchy and discipline. However, the problem most harmful - and therefore must be addressed urgently - is the organizational climate contaminated by disputes between classes, which is promoting a climate of hostility and discouragement, discouraging the growth of Criminalistics.
O presente trabalho objetivou identificar se os Peritos Criminais Federais que exercem suas atividades na função fim da Perícia Criminal encontram-se motivados para exercerem suas atribuições, bem como procurar relacionar as causas de desmotivação. Para tanto foram feitas duas pesquisas: uma de ordem qualitativa, em que foram entrevistados 10 (dez) Peritos Criminais Federais, pertencentes a áreas de atuação e lotações diversas, com a finalidade de constatar o que os respectivos profissionais apontavam como questões motivadoras e desmotivadoras no trabalho pericial. Posteriormente foi elaborado um questionário composto de 46 (quarenta e seis) perguntas fechadas e 2 (duas) abertas, o qual foi respondido por dirigentes e por servidores lotados nas unidades descentralizadas da Criminalística da Polícia Federal, com o objetivo de mapear a motivação do Perito Criminal Federal. Dos resultados revelados na pesquisa de campo, concluiu-se que os Peritos Criminais Federais estão desmotivados segundo a ótica de todas as teorias motivacionais abordadas no presente estudo. A desmotivação ocorre devido a diversos fatores: alguns de ordem técnica, como a falta de um feedback sobre a efetividade dos trabalhos realizados ou a falta de igualdade na distribuição dos serviços; outros de ordem filosófica, como a falta de um espírito de corpo - uma identidade profissional - e uma autonomia relativizada; ou ainda de ordem organizacional, como a falta de reconhecimento, por parte do Departamento de Polícia Federal, da importância da Perícia Criminal Federal, ou problemas relacionados à forma de gestão baseada na hierarquia e disciplina. Todavia, o problema mais nocivo - e que, portanto, deve ser tratado urgentemente - é o clima organizacional contaminado por disputas entre classes, que está promovendo um clima de inimizade e desmotivação, desfavorecendo o crescimento da Criminalística.

Abstract:
Em toda relação, há de se ter, com o risco do desgaste irreversível da relação e até mesmo do perecimento dos próprios envolvidos, unidade na diversidade e diversidade na unidade. No Estado federal, marcado pelo relacionamento entre a União e os entes federados, não é diferente. O equilíbrio no Estado federal depende de coerência e harmonia entre as entidades federadas e a União, e, principalmente, do respeito à maior fonte de conformação e organização do Estado Federal: a Constituição Federal. Tanto a União, como os estados-membros devem comportar-se em conformidade com o estabelecido na Constituição Federal, acatando as emanações, observando as prescrições e respeitando as competências. Surgem, no trato federativo, adversidades que podem gerar, desde um simples e efêmero mal-estar, até sérios entraves e problemas ao Estado como um todo, sua integridade e existência. Dependendo da gravidade e do grau da ofensa ao pacto federativo, diversos serão os remédios e antídotos ao mal que afligiu o Estado federal. O mais marcante dos mecanismos de manutenção e correção do federalismo instalado em um Estado que adote a forma federativa é a intervenção federal. A presente dissertação estuda, principalmente, o instituto da intervenção federal no contexto do Estado federal. Na primeira parte, em caráter propedêutico, são expostas as principais noções e ideias fundamentais sobre o Estado, Estado federal e o federalismo, arrimando-se na pesquisa da história, da política, do direito constitucional, assuntos e pontos imprescindíveis ao estudo do tema central. Na segunda parte, o estudo concentra-se, propriamente, na intervenção federal, expondo sua conceituação e suas noções principais; descrevendo sua trajetória histórica quando do seu aparecimento nos Estados Unidos da América; no Brasil, ao longo do desenvolvimento do direito constitucional brasileiro, apresentando os traços que caracterizaram a intervenção federal desde uma manifestação embrionária na Constituição do Império até a Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988; analisa-se se a norma da não intervenção é princípio ou regra; procede-se, em seguida, à dissecação dos dispositivos constitucionais que tratam da intervenção federal na Constituição Federal de 1988 (artigos 34 e 36), num exame expositivo que se propõe a estabelecer seus caracteres elementares, tanto no que diz respeito ao seu conteúdo material (hipóteses autorizadoras) quanto aos ditames formais (procedimento do ato de intervenção) exigidos para sua concretização. Tal análise baseia-se na legislação relacionada e na doutrina brasileira, utilizando, também, o auxílio dos diversos métodos interpretativos (os pertencentes à hermenêutica clássica e à hermenêutica constitucional), bem como do que ensina a prática constitucional e a jurisprudência dos tribunais superiores. Com a análise, indaga-se se o rol das causas autorizadoras de intervenção, diante da polissemia de seus termos, seria realmente taxativo. Tenta-se, diante da própria escassez de utilização do instituto, oferecer exemplos de situações que ensejariam a medida interventiva, buscando-se hipóteses até mesmo em diplomas legais infraconstitucionais, notadamente, a Lei nº 1.079/50. Estuda-se brevemente a intervenção estadual e a intervenção federal nos municípios. Apresenta-se ainda, sinteticamente, e sem a pretensão de transformar o estudo em pesquisa comparativa, as formas de intervenção federal ou institutos e práticas correlatas existentes em outros países. Acrescenta-se, de forma suplementar, com a disposição em anexos, quadros descritivos do tratamento da intervenção federal na prática constitucional, de acordo com as causas que a autorizam (artigo 34) e pelas distintas formas de sua concretização (competência e procedimento do ato interventivo) ao longo da história brasileira.
In every relationship, there must be, facing the risk of irreversibly rusting away the relation and even the perishing of the ones involved, unity in diversity and diversity in unity. On Federal State, marked by the relationship between the Union and the federated entities, it is not different. The balance in Federal State depends on the coherence and harmony between the federated entities and the Union and, especially, on the respect to the greatest source of conformation and organization of the Federal State: The Federal Constitution. Both the Union and the federal entities must be aligned in conformity with what is established on the Federal Constitution, complying the emanations, observing the prescriptions and obeying the competences. There are, however, in the federative tract, adversities that can generate from a mere and ephemeral malaise to serious obstacles and problems to the State as a whole, including its integrity and existence. Depending on the gravity and degree of the offense to the federative pact, several will be the remedies and antidotes to the illness that afflicted the Federal State. Due to the particular functioning of the federative form, the federal intervention is an essential and salutary measure to the federal pact. The present dissertation studies, chiefly, the institute of federal intervention in the context of the Federal State. In the first part, in a propaedeutic approach, the main notions and fundamental ideas about the State, Federal State and federalism are exposed, relying on research of history, politics and constitutional law, issues and indispensable points to the central theme study. In the second part, follows more specifically, the study of federal intervention, exposing its conceptualization and principal notions; describing its historical trajectory when it first appeared in the United States of America; in Brazil, throughout the development of Brazilian constitutional law, presenting the traits that have characterized federal intervention from an embryonic manifestation in the Constitution of the Empire to the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988. Also, its analyzed if the commandment of non-intervention is a principle or a rule. The dissertation proceeds to the dissection of the constitutional devices that tackle federal intervention on the Federal Constitution of 1988 (articles 34 and 36), in an expositive exam which aims at establishing its elementary characters, both regarding its material content (authorizing hypotheses) and also the formal dictates (proceeding of the intervention act) required to its concretization. Such analysis is based on the related legislation and on the Brazilian doctrine, also making use of the support of several interpretative methods (those that belong to the classic hermeneutic and those that belong to the constitutional hermeneutic), as well as the teachings of constitutional practice and the jurisprudence of the superior Tribunals. It is studied the intervention of the states and the Union in the counties. With the analysis, it is asked if the list of the permissive causes of intervention, before the polysemy of its terms, it is really an exhaustive scroll. The study tries, before the lack of use of the institute, to provide examples of situations that would give rise to interventionist measure, seeking chances even in infra-enactments, notably, the federal law number 1.079/50. It is also presented, in summary, and without any pretension of transforming this study in comparative research, the forms of intervention or institutes and correlates practices existing in other countries. It is also added, in a supplementary form, in annexes lay-out, descriptive charts of the treatment of federal intervention in the constitutional practice, according to the causes that authorizes it (article 34) and to the distinct forms of its concretization (competence and proceeding of the intervention act) along Brazilian history.

O presente estudo objetivou identificar os níveis de satisfação dos serviços prestados pelo Serviço de Inspeção Federal do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento na indústria avícola do Estado de Santa Catarina, na percepção dos clientes. Para alcançar este objetivo foram realizados estudos sobre o governo e administração, serviço, avaliação dos serviços públicos, cliente e indústria avícola. Foram considerados relevantes para este estudo os critérios de avaliação da qualidade do serviço apresentados por Gianesi e Correa (1994): atendimento/atmosfera; velocidade do atendimento; consistência; flexibilidade; competência; credibilidade/segurança; acesso. O método utilizado foi o estudo de caso. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário com questões fechadas aplicando escala de coerência interna do tipo Likert e .perguntas abertas sobre as vantagens e desvantagens do SIF na indústria, bem como, um levantamento de sugestões ao Ministério da Agricultura sobre os serviços. Constatou-se que as indústrias avícolas do Estado de Santa Catarina estão satisfeitas com os serviços prestados pelo SIF dentro das indústrias. O SIF tem impacto direto nas indústrias avícolas no Estado de Santa Catarina, por ser um serviço tangível, uma vez que, se o funcionário não estiver no local de prestação do serviço, o cliente, no caso a indústria avícola, terá prejuízos incalculáveis, não podendo comercializar seu produto. Como foi destacado, o produto das indústrias só têm credibilidade no mercado nacional e internacional se tiverem o carimbo do SIF, que demonstra o cumprimento da legislação vigente, a qualidade dos produtos e com isto o aumento da comercialização e de lucratividade.

Abstract:
L'environnementalisme américain est un mouvement dont la première vague surgit à la fin du 19e siècle face à l'exploitation excessive des ressources naturelles. Théodore Roosevelt a mis en place des mesures pour assurer la gestion avisée de la nature au bénéfice des générations présentes et futures. A côté de la conservation du gouvernement, un autre courant appelé préservation mit l'accent sur les valeurs esthétiques et spirituelles de la nature. Les deux conceptions de la relation de l'homme à la nature suscitèrent des conflits à propos de la façon dont on devait utiliser et protéger le patrimoine naturel. Le fort développement économique après 1945 puisa dans les ressources et généra de la pollution ainsi que des dangers posés par les industries atomiques et chimiques. "Printemps Silencieux" de Rachel Carson, paru en 1962, démontra que ces risques pesaient sur l'humanité elle-même et lança le mouvement environnemental moderne. Désormais, l'aspect éthique de la protection environnementale rivalise avec l'intérêt économique. Le succès du mouvement, canonisé par une série de lois environnementales, en fit la cible du contre-mouvement conservateur qui se développe depuis les années 1980. Les valeurs écologiques représentent une menace au credo américain, ainsi créant des tensions qui caractérisent le débat depuis le début du mouvement aux États-Unis
American environmentalism is a movement that grew out of concerns over wilderness and wildlife depletion evident in the late 19th century. Theodore Roosevelt initiated conservation measures designed to manage natural resources wisely to ensure their sustainability for the benefit of present and future generations. Preservation, another current of American ideas that stressed the esthetic and spiritual values of nature, existed concurrently. The two visions of humans' relationship to nature gave rise to conflicts over how the nation's natural resources should be used. By the 1960s rapid development had led to heightened resource use and pollution, as well as new threats posed by the chemical and atomic industries. Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" published in 1962, demonstrated that humans themselves were in peril and launched the modern environmental movement. The ethical dimension of preserving nature and human health came to rival economic concerns. The success of the movement, canonized in a series of major environmental protection laws, made it the target of the conservative countermovement from the 1980s onward. Ecological values threaten the dominant values of the American creed, causing tensions that have characterized the debate since the advent of environmental protection in the United States

Abstract:
Constitutional amendments in federal political systems have to be negotiated between national and sub-national actors. While theories of negotiation usually explain the outcome by looking at these actors, their preferences and bargaining powers, the theoretical model developed in this article also includes their interaction orientation. The article determines a typical sequence of bargaining and arguing and identifies favourable conditions for cooperation based on different interaction orientations. The article states that actors can reconcile the conflicting logics of intergovernmental or party competition and joint decision-making in constitutional politics through a sequence of bargaining and arguing. However, constitutional amendments negotiated in this way run the risk of undermining the legitimacy and functionality of constitutions.

O objeto principal desta monografia é a propaganda institucional no Senado Federal, que irá abordar temas como a própria propaganda institucional e o marketing institucional, além da comunicação governamental. A partir daí, será exposto a relação que essas teorias irão ter com o Senado já que são próprias da comunicação de empresas privadas. Essas teorias possuem ferramentas que servem como base para construir a imagem e divulgar informações pertinentes a estas empresas, assim verificaremos se o Senado Federal também as utiliza e como as direciona para a comunicação do setor público sem fugir tanto das raízes da comunicação do setor privado.

Abstract:
This dissertation comprises three discrete empirical papers, with an introductory essay that evaluates the impact of different federal policies on prescription drug prices, utilization, and spending. Two main databases are used: (a) Medicaid State Drug Utilization Data and (b) the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data. These two databases are designed to track Medicaid drug utilization and overall medical use and expenditures, respectively. The variables of interest in this dissertation are prescription drug price, prescription drug use and spending, and overall drug expenditures. The objective of the first paper (Chapter 2) is to examine whether oncology drug prices have significantly changed because the Medicaid rebate increased under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The analytic sample includes top-selling oncology drugs, both branded and generic, over an 8-year time period. The prices of top-selling oncology drugs in 2006 were followed through 2013 to find the extent to which drug prices have changed while controlling for state fixed-effect, package size, type of manufacturer, brand or generic, and drug strength. Thus, this study examines whether and to what extent oncology drug prices have changed after the increase in the Medicaid rebate under the ACA. The second paper’s objective (Chapter 3) is to study whether Medicare Part D has reduced racial disparities in diabetes drug use, coverage, and spending since its implementation in 2006. The analytic sample includes individuals aged 55 years and older who had diabetes from 2001 to 2010. Although the impact of Medicare Part D has been studied from different perspectives, its impact on racial disparities in drug use, coverage, and expenditures among diabetics has not been studied yet. The third paper (Chapter 4) focuses on the association between closing the Medicare doughnut hole and prescription drug utilization and spending for Medicare Part D beneficiaries with chronic diseases through 2013. The objective of the third paper is to determine whether the provisions of the ACA that close the coverage gap have affected prescription drug utilization and out-of-pocket (OOP) spending among Medicare seniors with Part D coverage.

Resumo: Este estudo pretende analisar as ações dos setores de comunicação em duas novas universidades federais e verificar se nelas são priorizadas as práticas informativas e/ou as práticas comunicativas. Considera-se que comunicar, e não apenas informar, facilita a promoção de um ambiente propício à ação política e democrática no âmbito das universidades. São pesquisadas, para tanto, duas instituições situadas no Estado do Paraná: a Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR) e a Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana (Unila). Como referencial teórico, é utilizado o conceito de "comunidade do saber", trabalhadas as diferenças e aproximações entre informação e comunicação, e adota-se a perspectiva da comunicação pública, que deve ser considerada um referencial para a ação das universidades federais, articulando-se noções de comunicação, política, democracia, cidadania e interesse público. Como opção metodológica, utilizam-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e o estudo de caso múltiplo integrado para analisar as instituições, com análise documental, de entrevistas com gestores de comunicação e de grupos focais com alunos, técnicos-administrativos e professores. A pesquisa apontou que nas universidades pesquisadas predominam as práticas informativas, não havendo estímulo para a comunicação entre a instituição e os seus públicos, o que desfavorece a participação da comunidade universitária de forma democrática nos assuntos de interesse público da UTFPR e da Unila.
Abstract: This study intends to analyze the activities of the Communication offices of two recently created federal universities and verify which practices are being prioritized, the informative and/or the communicative ones. It is considered that informing, and not only communicating, helps to establish a more propitious scenario to political and democratic actions at universities. Two universities from Paraná state were investigated: Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR) and Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana (Unila). As theoretical support the concept of "knowledge community" is approached, distinctions and similarities between information and communication are discussed and the perspective of public communication is adopted. This particular perspective should be considered as reference for the activities of the federal universities, articulating notions of political communication, democracy, citizenship and public interest. The methodology used is bibliographical research and multiple integrated case study to analyze the institutions, based on document analysis, interview with communication directors and focal groups conducted with students, lecturers and staff. This research identified that, at the aforementioned universities, the informative practices are prevalent, there are no stimulation of communication between the universities and its audiences, which disfavors the democratic participation of the university community on affairs of public interest.

Professional education in Brazil registers, in the current historical juncture, a new scenario, based on a policy of expansion and reordering of this mode of teaching. The reordering policy of the federal network of professional education was given by the Organization of Federal Institutes of education, science and technology or, simply, Federal Institutes (IF). The Federal Institutes are several Campi institutions of higher education, professional, basic, intended to offer professional and technical education in the different methods of teaching. Were organized from the integration of two or more federal institutions professional education of a State, and the transformation of Federal Centers of technological education, Agro-technical schools and Federal technical schools linked to Federal universities. Federal Institutes fit the responsibility to promote the vertical integration of basic education to graduate; to promote the expansion of the number of campuses and the offer of courses considering the needs of the regions served. Highlights the completion of expansion management, staff and faculty, as well as the adequacy of facilities, in order to ensure the quality of education offered, all of this without losing sight of your own identity. The present study aimed to analyze the process of organization of the identity of this "new" institutionalism. We analyze the effects of institutional changes, which occurred between the period 2003 to 2010, the IFPB, whereas the vision and discourse of institutional actors. The scarcity of studies on the subject and the importance given to education by the Brazilian education policies for the current importance of this study. The research process was structured into three levels, namely: theoretical review, document analysis and field research. Field research, held at the Federal Institute of education, science and technology of Paraíba, semi-structured interviews with six institutional actors who have lived the process of transformation. The study indicates that the policy of the Organization of the Federal Institutes in Brazil, in addition to the proposal to extend the tender offer of the middle-level vocational education, represented the consolidation of a network of education intended, specifically, to the professional education and required an effort of adaptation by the same.
A educação profissional no Brasil registra, na atual conjuntura histórica, um novo cenário, fundamentado em uma política de expansão e de reordenamento dessa modalidade de ensino. A política de reordenamento da rede federal de educação profissional se deu mediante a organização de Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia ou, simplesmente, Institutos Federais (IF). Os Institutos Federais são instituições multicampi de educação superior, básica e profissional, destinados a ofertar educação profissional e tecnológica nas diferentes modalidades de ensino. Foram organizados a partir da integração de duas ou mais instituições federais de educação profissional de um mesmo estado, e da transformação de Centros Federais de Educação Tecnológica, de Escolas Agrotécnicas e de Escolas Técnicas Federais vinculadas a Universidades Federais. Aos Institutos Federais coube a responsabilidade de promoverem a verticalização da educação básica à pós-graduação; de promoverem a expansão do número de campi e a oferta de cursos considerando a necessidade das regiões atendidas. Destaca-se ainda a realização da gestão da expansão, do corpo técnico e docente, como também a adequação das instalações físicas, para poderem garantir a qualidade da educação ofertada, isso tudo sem perderem de vista sua própria identidade. O presente estudo objetivou analisar o processo de organização da identidade dessa “nova” institucionalidade. Propusemo-nos analisar as repercussões das mudanças institucionais, ocorridas entre o período 2003 a 2010, no IFPB, considerando a visão e o discurso dos atores institucionais. A escassez de estudos sobre o tema e a relevância dada à educação profissional pelas atuais políticas educativas brasileiras justificam a importância deste estudo. O processo de pesquisa foi estruturado em três níveis, a saber: revisão teórica, análise documental e pesquisa de campo. A pesquisa de campo, realizada no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia da Paraíba, contou com a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis atores institucionais que viveram todo o processo da transformação. O estudo indica que a política de organização dos Institutos Federais no Brasil, para além da proposta de ampliar a oferta pública do ensino profissional de nível médio, representou a consolidação de uma rede de ensino destinada, especificamente, à educação profissional e requereu um esforço de adequação por parte dos mesmos.

A presente pesquisa analisa, dentre os fatores que podem favorecer ou desfavorecer a implantação de um modelo de Centro de Serviços Compartilhados (CSC) na autarquia federal CNEN/RJ, quais seriam mais relevantes e de maior peso na visão dos gestores das áreas de compartilhamento proposta. Como questão da pesquisa foi analisado se o modelo de CSC pode ser aplicado como ferramenta de reestruturação organizacional na área pública. Foi realizado levantamento bibliométrico sobre os temas administração pública gerencial, motivadores da mudança organizacional e o CSC. Foi adaptado um questionário, a partir de um modelo testado sobre o tema, e aplicado juntos aos gestores das áreas objeto de compartilhamento; finanças, recurso humanos, suprimento e tecnologia de informação. Os dados foram tratados através dos padrões da escala Liket e analisados. Os resultados indicam que os fatores que favorecem a implantação de um modelo de CSC na CNEN/RJ são mais significativos que os fatores que desfavorecem o uso do modelo. A pesquisa indica que, fundamentado em exemplos de outros países, o modelo de CSC pode contribuir como ferramenta de reestruturação organizacional, em resposta aos motivadores de mudança identificados na empresa, a fim de reagir assertivamente.

Esse trabalho de pesquisa tem como objetivo geral analisar as especificidades da interação entre raça e representação política através da observação das eleições para Deputado Federal no Distrito Federal em 2006. A partir da análise do Horário de Propaganda Eleitoral Gratuita, eu busco avaliar em que medida a variável raça interage com o tempo de exposição na TV e com os resultados nas eleições. Neste sentido, eu busco verificar quais são os empecilhos que se colocam para a eleição dos negros, e como o mito da democracia racial no Brasil funciona como um mecanismo de violência simbólica que atua tanto sobre a possibilidade de negros em se candidatarem quanto sobre as campanhas eleitorais daqueles que se candidatam. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para um quadro de exclusão racial dentro dos partidos políticos, principalmente em função da baixa quantidade de candidaturas negras, mas também pelo pouco tempo de exposição na TV dos negros, o que reflete o caráter periférico destas candidaturas dentro dos diversos partidos, e que se converte em fracos desempenhos eleitorais para negros e negras. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This research aims to examine the particularities of the interaction between race and political representation through the observation of the elections for Federal Deputy in the Federal District (Brasília) in 2006. From the analysis of the free time for political propaganda on TV, I aspirate to assess the extent to which the variable race interacts with the time of exposure on TV and the results in the elections. Therefore, I seek verify what are the impediments that arise for the election of blacks, and as the myth of racial democracy in Brazil serves as a mechanism of symbolic violence against both in the possibility of blacks in applying as on election campaigns of those who apply. The survey results point to a framework of racial exclusion inside the political parties, especially in the light of the low number of black candidates, but also by the short time of exposure of blacks on TV, which reflects the character of these peripheral candidacies within the various parties, and it becomes weak performances in elections for blacks.

Thesis (S.M. in Technology and Policy)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, Technology and Policy Program, 2008.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 86-88).
In the absence of a federal policy to cap greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions many states are moving forward with their own initiatives, which currently range from announcements of commitments to reduce greenhouse gases to a regional multi-state cap-and-trade program slated to begin in 2009. As development of federal climate policy moves forward, federal policymakers must address how legislation or regulation capping GHG emissions will define the relationship between a federal cap and any existing state programs, particularly when state programs involve cap-and-trade. This thesis attempts to inform the policy debate on treatment of state programs under a federal cap-and-trade program through analysis of the economic, environmental, and distributional impacts of potential relationships between federal and state climate programs. Using economic theory, it considers the impacts and resulting implications for federal program design of four possible scenarios relating state and federal cap-and-trade programs: coexistence of state and federal programs resulting in separate but overlapping allowance markets; express federal preemption of state cap-and-trade programs; separate existence of state and federal programs via a 'carve-out' of the state program; and linkage between the federal program and carved-out state programs. This thesis demonstrates that the impacts of potential state and federal program interactions depend on the relative stringency of the federal and state program and overlap in source coverage. Common design elements of cap-and-trade programs, such as cost containment provisions, affect this interaction through their impact on relative stringency.
(cont.) Where state programs are both duplicative of and more demanding than the federal cap, the effect is redistributive of costs and emissions; in-state sources face higher marginal abatement costs, leading to a loss of economic efficiency. These effects are avoided under either federal preemption of duplicative state programs or a 'carve-out' of state programs from the federal cap with linkage to the federal allowance market. While preemption is administratively straightforward for the federal government, it may come at a high political cost. On the other hand, the carve-out with linkage, while likely more politically feasible, may carry a high administrative burden. Policymakers determined to avoid the inefficiencies of overlapping programs will need to consider the tradeoffs between these two options.

Essa dissertação se propôs a analisar o processo de implementação do Centro Acadêmico do Agreste (CAA) - UFPE à luz das variáveis intervenientes no processo de implementação propostas por Sabatier (1986). Esse modelo considera seis variáveis, três delas ligadas às decisões políticas: objetivos claros e coerentes; adequada teoria causal; e o processo de implementação legalmente estruturado. E as outras três variáveis ligadas às pressões políticas: implementações governamentais comprometidas e habilidosas; apoio de grupos de interesse e superiores; e mudanças nas condições sócio-econômicas. A pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa e foi realizada por um estudo de caso de caráter descritivo. Os dados secundários foram coletados com a realização de pesquisa documental, em que as variáveis ligadas às decisões políticas foram analisadas, e por pesquisa aos dados primários, em que foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os atores implementadores. A seleção inicial desses atores se deu por grau de participação no processo de implementação e prosseguiu utilizando a técnica “bola de neve”, em que cada entrevistado foi indicando outros agentes importantes na implementação do CAA. A análise dos dados foi realizada pela técnica da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados encontrados permitiram conhecer a dinâmica de cada variável nesse processo de implementação. A interiorização apresentava objetivos claros e coerentes, como: a elevação do nível educacional da população, provendo a demanda da região por educação pública superior e o desenvolvimento regional. A política também se valia de uma teoria causal válida: o desenvolvimento da região por meio da oferta da educação superior. Quanto ao processo legalmente estruturado, apesar do Programa não ter sido criado por meio de uma lei, o Ministério da Educação assumiu o compromisso de prover os recursos necessários para implementação. A burocracia encontrada nos trâmites do serviço público foi apontada como um fator de “engessamento” do processo de implementação. O comprometimento do Governo Federal com a interiorização foi destacado como principal diferencial para o êxito do processo, que também contou com apoio de grupos de interesse que viabilizaram a chegada da UFPE em Caruaru. A implementação foi também beneficiada por um momento de estabilidade econômica que favoreceu a implementação, como um todo. Apesar desse período de estabilidade, outras dificuldades interferiram nesse processo. Conclui-se que o cenário político nacional facilitou o processo de implementação do campus do Agreste, que apesar de ter encontrado alguns apoios importantes, também encontrou barreiras de natureza interna e externa, que foram administradas com a decisão política e a articulação da comunidade caruaruense.
This dissertation aimed to analyze the process of implementing the Academic center of the Agreste (CAA) -UFPE according to the intervening variables in the process of implementation proposed by Sabatier (1986). This model considers six variables, three of them related to political decisions: clear and consistent goals; suitable causal theory; and legally structured implementation process. The other three variables are related to political pressures: committed and skilled government implementations; support of interested and superior groups; and changes in socio-economic conditions. The research had a qualitative approach and was conducted by a descriptive case study. Secondary data were collected through desk research in which the variables linked to political decisions were analyzed; for primary data research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the implementing actors. The initial selection of these actors was based on the degree of participation in the implementation process. After these first interviews, this study used the technique "snowball" in which each interviewee indicated other important actors in implementing process. Data analysis was performed by the technique of content analysis. The results allowed us to know the dynamics of each variable in this implementation process. The process of internalization had a clear and consistent objectives, such as: raising the educational level of the population, providing the region's demand for public higher education and regional development. The policy also worth a valid causal theory: the development of the region through the provision of higher education. Although the policy has not been created by a law, the Ministry of Education is committed to providing the necessary resources for its implementation. The bureaucracy found in public service procedures was identified as a factor of "inflexibility" of the implementation process. The commitment of the Federal Government with the campus internalization was highlighted as a key differentiator for the success of the process, which also had the support of interest groups that enabled the arrival of UFPE in Caruaru. The implementation was also benefited from a time of economic stability that favored the implementation as a whole. Despite this period of stability, other difficulties interfered in this process. We conclude that the national political scene facilitated the implementation process of UFPE campus in the Agreste region of Pernambuco, that despite having found some important support, also found internal and external nature barriers, which were managed by the political decision and the articulation of local community of Caruaru.

Abstract:
This thesis takes as its point of departure the debate on federalism that emerged in Italy in the years preceding the unification of 1861 and that resumed in the early 1990s, a debate mainly revolving around the profound socio-economic differences between the North and the South of the country. Torn between continuous centripetal and centrifugal forces, but not characterized by ethnic connotations, the Italian regional model implemented with the 1948 constitution and strengthened in 2001 elicits questions that intersect with topical debates engaging scholars across the globe, and displays features that have the potential to stimulate fruitful discussions both inside and outside Italian borders. While the present state of Italian regionalism remains ambiguous, the Italian regional model distils lessons coming from different theoretical experiences, including federalism, sub-state nationalism, and the European unification process. Therefore, it can be seen as an innovative experiment crafted by those who were looking for a compromise between unitary and federal schemes. Adopting a theoretical framework combining literature on federalism, regionalism and sub-state national theory, this thesis addresses a number of questions that help fill a gap in scholarship. The thesis discusses the relationship between federalism and regionalism, arguing that regionalism is an overarching term that incorporates diverse experiences; consequently, the regional state paradigm to which Italy is usually associated is just one of the many shapes that regionalism can take. The research also identifies the elements enabling us to differentiate between a federal and a regional model, as well as the advantages of opting for a regional scheme (as opposed to a federal one). The socio-economic tensions between the North and the South of Italy offer the ideal basis to discuss non-national differences, an expression used to indicate political and socio-economic communities located within a geographical territory displaying some de facto asymmetries compared to the state-wide community, seeking some form of acknowledgement of their specificity. The thesis argues that national differences (e.g. differences based on linguistic, religious or other cultural issues) are not the only ones requiring attention, and it identifies a number of legal and constitutional stratagems that could be used to address non-national difference. Also, the recognition of non-national difference may also help find a solution to issues regarding sub-state national recognition. Finally, the thesis tries to find a point of reconciliation between federalism and solidarity, particularly in the context of non-national difference. The Italian regional experience serves once again as the point of departure to discuss whether federalism and solidarity are conflicting ideas, and to open a discussion regarding the exact contours of solidarity, especially in its horizontal understanding.

Abstract:
This thesis attempts to determine the needs of women serving prison terms at Prison for Women. Interviews were conducted with a sample of thirty prisoners at Prison for Women to determine what they felt their needs were and how they perceived these needs were being addressed during their incarceration. Correctional staff members were also interviewed so it could be ascertained how current programs were being delivered. It was found that while Correctional Services does recognize some of the unique needs that this population has, often they lack the initiative to develop and deliver the required services. This was especially true in the area of past sexual and physical abuse. It is not the purpose of this thesis to call for the closing of Prison for Women. Contrary to this, this paper that since this is the only institution we have for women and since the needs of the population can be identified, we can determine how to address these needs appropriately in the given setting, for lack of any alternative.

Abstract:
The industry related to Trenchless Excavation Construction (TEC) is seeing wide spread expansion. Technological developments in the last twenty years have been applied to TEC and now allow the installation of underground utility lines under previously developed properties and in difficult soil conditions. Large municipalities and industrial owners have greatly benefited from projects constructed using TEC. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) is the construction and maintenance arm of the Navy and manages projects world wide. It is governed in is contracting by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) which among many things attempts to encourage fair and equitable administration of contracts. The FAR does this by restricting proprietary language and actions in government contracts and also by focusing contracts on final products versus construction methodology.Since TEC is new, unfamiliar, and is often viewed to be a methodology and not a final product, NAVFAC's specification writers have been concerned about addressing TEC in their contracts. The purpose of this research project is to give NAVFAC designers and specification writers a Guide Specification that allows for TEC, provides them a comparison project that shows how TEC may be utilized, and also to make them aware of the basic concepts of TEC via a NAVFAC magazine article.

Abstract:
The Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994 requires that the Administration of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy establish a program for the development and implementation of a Federal Acquisition Network (FACNET). The FACNET, an electronic procurement system, is required to be universally available throughout the Government and provide interoperability among its users which includes the Department of Defense. The FASA incentivizes contracting activities by conditioning the use of new simplified acquisition procedures ($100,000 threshold) on an activity's ability to implement and certify their FACNET capability. Many Army contracting activities already have some form of electronic procurement capability and incorporate its application into their daily procurement activities. However, while the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) developed an initial standard for FACNET certification, the actual ability of agencies to achieve the standard remains nebulous. There are many barriers to the full use and certification of the FACNET. This is due in part to lack of detail in the FASA and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which has yet to incorporate the FASA amendments. The objective of this research is to identify those inconsistencies in FACNET implementation and certification (if they exist) and to examine possible courses of action that may provide solutions or clarifications to the implementation process.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho tem por escopo analisar a aplicabilidade da Lei Federal n. 9.784/99 (Lei de Processo Administrativo Federal LPAF). A partir do exame das expressões doutrinárias do direito e do processo administrativo no Brasil, busca-se investigar a extensão de sua incidência, tendo-se como premissa inicial o fato de a referida Lei representar um verdadeiro quadro ou fonte normativa primordial de ordenação da atuação administrativa, pautando requisitos mínimos para instauração, instrução e decisão relativos à formação e posterior execução da vontade funcional da Administração Pública. Nesse sentido, busca-se discutir a fórmula ou regime geral de incidência da LPAF, tendo como fundamento sua estipulação baseada em normas básicas e sua subsidiariedade em relação às espécies processuais administrativas reguladas por leis específicas. Os critérios legais de aplicabilidade da lei são evidenciados para que se chegue a um escalonamento (ordem de preferência) entre os mesmos, sobretudo a fim de melhor trilhar a extensão da lei entre os entes, entidades e órgãos submetidos a seu quadro normativo. Em vistas disso, o estudo toma como base os caracteres estruturais Administração Pública, alinhando a atividade administrativa e a consequente incidência da LPAF ao quadro de organização administrativa disposto no Anteprojeto de Lei Orgânica da Administração Pública Federal e Entes de Colaboração. Por derradeiro, estuda-se a o alcance federativo da lei, de forma a investigar a possibilidade de sua aplicação e extensão aos entes subnacionais, com a instauração de um patamar de tratamento e atuação unificados perante as diversas facetas e expressões de atividade administrativa em todas as entidades políticas (União, Distrito Federal, Estados e Municípios)
The present work aims to analyze the Federal Law n. 9.784/99 applicability (Federal Administrative Procedure Act, also known, in Brazil, as LPAF). From the examination of brazilian experts expressions about administrative law and administrative procedure law, the study seeks to investigate the extension of the LPAF impact, taking into consideration that this Act represents a primary source of normative ordering of the administrative functions and all the acts and decisions taken and made by the Public Administration. In such scope, the aim is thus to discuss a general formula for the impact of the LPAF, mainly based on its basic rules and principles and its subsidiarity in relation to administrative procedural species regulated by specific Acts. Furthermore, the legal criteria for the applicability of the LPAF are highlighted in order to reach an order of preference between them. From this point, the study sets its focus on the structural character of the Public Administration to investigate the impact of the LPAF aligned to regular administrative activity. For the last, the federal state issue is raised in order to discuss its applicability and the possibility of establishing an unified level of administrative procedures and activities through all the political entities in the Federation (Union, Federal District, States and Municipalities).

Abstract:
O presente trabalho, por meio do método reconstrutivo de abordagem, investiga recentes alterações performáticas (2007-2008) do Supremo Tribunal Federal como indicadoras de ativismo judicial. Para tanto, realiza uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o conceito de ativismo judicial no âmbito das jurisdições constitucionais, constatando a versatilidade semântica da expressão, conforme o modelo que se adote de jurisdição constitucional. Sob o prisma de uma teoria discursiva do Direito, a pesquisa propõe critérios para a identificação de ativismo judicial nas jurisdições constitucionais. Reconstruindo um sistema analítico de conceitos, a pesquisa obtém instrumentos para proceder à análise de discursos recentes do Supremo Tribunal Federal, finda a qual, identifica, com os critérios anteriormente propostos, a presença do fenômeno estudado. São, ainda, levantadas possíveis causas para as recentes alterações performáticas do Tribunal e, em vias de conclusão, apontam-se objeções ao perfil ativista do Supremo Tribunal Federal.
The current work, by means of the reconstructive method of approach, investigates recent performative alterations (2007-2008) of the Supremo Tribunal Federal (Supreme Court of Brazil) as signs of judicial activism. Thus, it carries through a bibliographical review of the concept of judicial activism in the scope of the constitutional jurisdictions, evidencing the semantic versatility of the expression, according to the model of constitutional jurisdiction that is adopted. Under the prism of a discursive theory of Law, the research considers criteria for the identification of judicial activism in the constitutional jurisdictions. Reconstructing an analytical system of concepts, it provides instruments to proceed to the analysis of recent speeches of the Supremo Tribunal Federal. At the conclusion of the analysis, the presence of the studied phenomenon is identified, with the criteria previously considered. Possible causes for the recent per formative alterations of the Court are, still, raised and, in summation, objections to the activist profile inaugurated by the Supreme Federal Court are pointed out.

This paper uses Federal Funds Futures and the industry returns to analyze the Federal Reserve Policy's influence on Wall Street firms. According to the results, Wall Street produces high returns in response to the monetary policy when compared to other industries. While this positive response is consistent to both interest hikes and cuts, there exists significant cross-firm and cross-period variation. Besides, the result is robust to the alternative measure of event days and employment release.

The work aims to study the collective bargaining labour institute, with the presenting of his concept for both the homeland doctrine as to the ILO, its specific principles, its relation to the principle of freedom of association, the regulatory instruments (agreement and collective bargaining agreement), scope, finally, its main aspects. Study will be, even if it is possible federal civil servants carry out collective bargaining work, as they are submitted to a constitutional pay system requiring budgetary provision for the creation of job or change in salary is preceded by legal provision, and as that that law should be a private initiative of the Chief Executive (Article 167, item II, Article 61, paragraph 1, item II, point a, Article 169, paragraph 1, Article 37, item X, all of the Constitution) . Presents other arguments that prevent collective bargaining in the federal public service, for example, the absence of item XXVI of Article 7 of the Constitution in the list of social rights of civil servants contained in paragraph 3 of Article 39 also of the Constitution; the decision of the Supreme Court handed down in the records of direct action of unconstitutionality No. 492-1 / 1990, which was the origin of the subtraction of paragraph d of Article 240 of Law No. 8,112 / 1990, which provided for collective bargaining as a right of server, but it was revoked. It also presents some arguments conducive to the realization of collective bargaining in the federal public service, as the entry into force of the Convention in our legal system No. 151 of the ILO, 1978 and the forecast of the right to free union association and union strike to the servers, so, how can design the right to strike without providing for the right to collective bargaining? Finally, it is practical aspects of the implementation of the negotiation that takes place today between federal public servants and the Union (Direct and Indirect Administration).
O trabalho tem por objetivo estudar o instituto da negociação coletiva de trabalho com a apresentação de seu conceito tanto para a doutrina pátria quanto para a OIT, seus princípios específicos, sua relação com o princípio da liberdade sindical, os instrumentos normativos (acordo e convenção coletiva de trabalho), abrangência, enfim, seus principais aspectos. Estudar-se-á, ainda, se é possível os servidores públicos federais realizarem negociação coletiva de trabalho, pois estão submetidos a um sistema constitucional de remuneração que exige previsão orçamentária para a criação de cargo ou alteração no vencimento que seja precedida de previsão legal, bem como que referida lei deve ser de iniciativa privativa do Chefe do Poder Executivo (artigo 167, inciso II; artigo 61, §1ş, inciso II, alínea a; artigo 169, §1ş; artigo 37, inciso X, todos da Constituição). Apresentam-se outros argumentos que impedem a negociação coletiva de trabalho no serviço público federal, como, por exemplo, a ausência do inciso XXVI, do artigo 7ş, da Constituição no rol de direitos sociais dos servidores públicos contido no §3ş, do artigo 39, também da Constituição; a decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal proferida nos autos da Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade nº 492-1/1990, que foi a origem da subtração da alínea d, do artigo 240, da Lei nº 8.112/1990, que previa a negociação coletiva como direito do servidor, mas foi revogada. Também se apresentam alguns argumentos favoráveis à realização da negociação coletiva no serviço público federal, como a entrada em vigor em nosso ordenamento jurídico da Convenção nº 151 da OIT, de 1978 e a previsão dos direitos à livre associação sindical e realização de greve aos servidores, assim, como é possível conceber o direito de greve sem prever o direito à negociação coletiva? Por fim, trata-se de aspectos práticos da realização da negociação que acontece hoje entre servidores públicos federais e a União (Administração Direta e Indireta).

Nowadays, there is the microsystem of Special Courts made up of the State Special Court (Law 9.099/95), the Federal Special Court (Law 10.259/2001), and the Special Court of Exchequer (Law 12.153/2009) which aims at assuring the trial of causes of reduced economic value and little probative complexity as it is determined by the respective laws. The Special Courts are not only a new procedure but also a new way of obtaining adjudication with greater celerity and informality, as it is determined by the guidance criteria of such microsystem. The creation of Special Courts is not exclusive to the Brazilian legal system for there is a similar system for the trial of causes of low value in several other countries. This study analyzes the competency of the Civil Federal Special Court. In order to understand the competency of such Court, it was necessary to analyze the competency criteria fixed by the Code of Civil Procedure so as to show the difference among those criteria, mainly regarding the classification of relative and absolute competencies. The Law 10.259/2001, when determining its competency, only mentioned that the Civil Federal Special Court is due to prosecute, conciliate, and judge causes of competency of the Federal Court up to the amount of sixty minimum wages, as well as to execute their sentences , presenting on paragraph 1 article 3 the causes which are excluded from its jurisdiction. Thus, the analysis of the competency of the Civil Federal Special Courts is necessary to provide increased legal safety and the clarification of several controversies arising with Law 10.259/2001, aiming at presenting solutions to the daily challenges due to the questioning on competency or incompetency of such judgments. When studying the competency determined by this special law, it was chosen for didactic purposes to study the criteria for determining competency regarding person, matter, value of the cause, territory, and function. It should be noted that the determination of the competency of the Federal Special Court is not only based on one of the criterion mentioned above, but on the sum of all of them; it also includes the competency regarding reduced evidentiary complexity once lawsuit with extended probationary phase should not follow the legal channels in the Federal Special Court. This way, the analysis of the criteria of the competency of the Federal Special Court is more specific than the criteria determined by the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure and that is why the classification of this provision of law cannot be adopted; then, the study of the competency of the Federal Special Courts have to be analyzed under a new premise because it is not a relative competency, but an absolute one which has to be respected considering the simplified achievement of the jurisdictional ward with reduced period and without the procedural prerogatives granted to the Exchequer
Atualmente, existe o microssistema dos Juizados Especiais, composto pelo Juizado Especial Estadual (Lei 9.099/95), Juizado Especial Federal (Lei 10.259/2001) e o Juizado Especial da Fazenda Pública (Lei 12.153/2009), que visam garantir o julgamento das causas de reduzido valor econômico e pequena complexidade probatória, conforme é determinado pelas respectivas legislações. Os Juizados Especiais não são apenas um novo procedimento, mas uma nova forma de obtenção da prestação jurisdicional, com maior celeridade e informalidade, conforme determinam os critérios orientadores deste microssistema. A criação dos Juizados Especiais não é uma exclusividade do sistema jurídico brasileiro, pois existe em diversos países sistema semelhante para o julgamento das causas de valor reduzido. O presente trabalho analisa a competência do Juizado Especial Federal Civil. Para compreender a competência deste Juizado, foi necessária a análise dos critérios determinadores da competência fixados pelo Código de Processo Civil, para demonstrar a diferença existente entre estes critérios, principalmente, no aspecto da classificação da competência relativa e da competência absoluta. A Lei 10.259/2001, ao determinar a sua competência, apenas mencionou que compete ao Juizado Especial Federal Cível processar, conciliar e julgar causas de competência da Justiça Federal até o valor de sessenta salários mínimos, bem como executar as suas sentenças , apresentando no § 1º do artigo 3º as causas que se encontram excluídas da sua competência. Portanto, a análise da competência dos Juizados Especiais Federais Cíveis faz-se necessária para proporcionar maior segurança jurídica e esclarecimento das várias controvérsias surgidas com a Lei 10.259/2001, visando apresentar soluções aos desafios diários, decorrentes do questionamento sobre a competência ou incompetência destes juízos. Ao estudar a competência determinada por esta lei especial, optou-se, para fins didáticos, em estudar separadamente os critérios de determinação da competência em razão da pessoa, da matéria, em do valor da causa, do território e da função. Cabe ressaltar que a determinação da competência do Juizado Especial Federal não é exclusivamente baseada em um dos critérios acima mencionados, mas sim na somatória de todos eles, incluindo ainda a competência em razão da reduzida complexidade probatória, já que ações com fase probatória extensas não devem tramitar no Juizado Especial Federal. Desta forma, a análise dos critérios fixadores da competência do Juizado Especial Federal é mais específica do que os critérios determinados pelo Código de Processo Civil brasileiro, razão pela qual não pode ser adotada a classificação deste dispositivo legal, merecendo o estudo da competência dos Juizados Especiais Federais serem analisados sob nova premissa, pois não se trata de uma competência relativa, mas sim absoluta, que deve ser respeitada, considerando a obtenção simplificada da tutela jurisdicional, com prazo reduzido e sem as prerrogativas processuais concedidas à Fazenda Pública

This dissertation is based on the procedural branch of Constitutional Law, whose central goal laid on the public hearings held before the Brazilian Supreme Court so far. Facing this procedural institution, still incipient in the Brazilian judicial system, we are interested in identifying its origins and workability, beginning with a study of its legal creation and the spread of its use in the administrative bureaucracies and in the legislative activity. The public hearing went through a long road before knocking on the Judiciary s doors, and its exhaustive and uneasy task did not end by then. It was necessary to open up these doors, but, in order to effectively have its place, strong oppositions born from an array of taboos had to be faced and ceased slowly. At the Brazilian judiciary its triumph started in the Supreme Court, walking through the Supremo Tribunal Federal bars. Between its legal creation and the first public hearing held passed eight years, and more than 500 thousand lawsuits. In the history of this court, we counted five public hearings which were held, each of them in its own way, being their methodological and decisional variations the inspiration of this work; therefore, this dissertation s core is the empirical research of this new legal institute whose legal regime and concepts are still under construction
O presente trabalho foi construído sobre a órbita do Direito Constitucional em sua face processual, cujo objetivo central se deitou na audiência pública no Supremo Tribunal Federal. Diante deste instituto, ainda incipiente no Judiciário nacional, procuramos identificar suas origens e sua aplicabilidade no Estado brasileiro, iniciando com o estudo de sua criação legal e o seu uso disseminado na Administração Pública e na atividade legislativa. A audiência pública percorreu longo caminho antes de encontrar as portas do Judiciário brasileiro, e sua tarefa exaustiva e ofegante não terminou ali. Era necessário abrir essas portas, mas para adentrar sofreu e ainda sofre fortes resistências materializadas por uma rede de tabus, que aos poucos, lentamente, transpassa. No Judiciário nacional iniciou seu triunfo logo na Corte Suprema, adentrando às barras do Supremo Tribunal Federal. Entre sua previsão legal e a realização da primeira audiência pública transcorreram oito anos e por ali passaram mais de 500.000 processos. Na história desta Corte contamos com cinco audiências públicas realizadas, cada qual a sua maneira, e essa grande variação de método e decisões foram a inspiração deste trabalho, cujo núcleo reside na pesquisa empírica deste novel instituto que conta com conceitos e regime jurídico ainda em construção

Acanthaceae possui aproximadamente 240 gêneros e 3.250 espécies distribuídas pelas regiões tropicais e subtropicais de todo mundo. Os principais centros de diversidade da família são a Indo-Malásia, África, América Central e Brasil. A região neotropical possui aproximadamente 85 gêneros e 2000 espécies conhecidas. O Brasil concentra alta diversidade de Acanthaceae com aproximadamente 40 gêneros e 540 espécies, a maioria nas matas mesófilas do Sudeste e Centro Oeste. O presente trabalho faz parte do projeto Flora do Distrito Federal, Brasil e objetiva contribuir com o levantamento das espécies de Acanthaceae no Distrito Federal, baseando-se em coletas de campo e na análise de materiais herborizados de coleções dos seguintes herbários: Embrapa Recursos Genéticos e Biotecnologia (CEN); Universidade de Brasília (UB), Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) e Jardim Botânico de Brasília (HEPH). Foram reconhecidos no Distrito Federal 28 espécies distribuídas em oito gêneros: Geissomeria Lindl., Hygrophilla R.Br., Justicia L., Lepidagathis Willd., Mendoncia Vell., Ruellia L., Staurogyne Wall. e Stenandrium Nees. Dentre estas, Hygrophilla R.Br. é referência nova para o Distrito Federal. Neste trabalho são apresentadas, descrições, chaves de identificação, ilustrações para os gêneros e espécies da família, mapas de ocorrências das espécies, além de comentários sobre morfologia e taxonomia das Acanthaceae. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The Acanthaceae has approximately 240 genera and 3250 species distributed among tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The main centers of diversity are Indo-Malaysia, Africa, Central America and Brazil. The Neotropical region has about 85 genera and 2000 species known. Brazil concentrates high diversity of species of Acanthaceae with approximately 40 genera and 540 species, most of the mesophilic forests of Southeast and Central West. This work is part of the project "Flora do Distrito Federal, Brazil" and aims to contribute to the removal of the species of Acanthaceae in the Federal District, based on collections from the field and analysis of material from herbarium collections of the following herbaria: Embrapa Resources Genetic and Biotechnology (CEN), University of Brasilia (UB), Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and Botanical Garden of Brasília (HEPH). In the Federal District 28 species distributed in eight genera were recognized: Geissomeria Lindl., Hygrophila R.Br., Justicia L., Lepidagathis Willd., Mendoncia Vell., Ruellia L., Staurogyne Wall. and Stenandrium Nees. Among these, Hygrophila R.Br. is a new reference to the Federal District. This work presents, descriptions, identification keys, illustrations to the genera and species of the family, maps of occurrences of species, and comments on morphology and taxonomy of Acanthaceae.

As Iridaceae abrangem aproximadamente 66 gêneros e mais de 2030 espécies distribuídas principalmente nos continentes do hemisfério sul, sendo o seu principal centro de diversidade o sul da África e em seguida a América do Sul. Seus representantes são encontrados em savanas e campos, com poucas espécies ocorrendo em formações florestais. O Brasil possui 18 gêneros e 160 espécies, sendo que os gêneros com maior número de espécies são Sisyrinchium L., com 58 espécies, e Neomarica Sprague e Pseudotrimezia, com 21 espécies. São caracterizadas por possuírem flores vistosas, grande parte polinizada por insetos e por possuir órgãos subterrâneos do tipo rizoma, cormos ou bulbos. A maioria das espécies é herbácea, com folhas simples, cilíndricas ou planas, lineares ou linear-ensiformes, inflorescência do tipo ripídio ou espiga, flores bissexuadas actinomorfas ou zigomorfas, trímeras, com 3 estames opostos às tépalas externas, ovário ínfero, trilocular e fruto do tipo cápsula loculicida. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir para o conhecimento da flora do Distrito Federal, baseando-se em coletas de campo e na análise de materiais herborizados de coleções dos quatro herbários do Distrito Federal, além do Herbário da Universidade de São Paulo e do Instituto de Botânica de São Paulo. Foram encontrados 4 gêneros e 11 espécies: Alophia coerulea (Vell.) Chukr, Alophia sellowiana Klatt, Cipura paludosa Aubl., Cipura xanthomelas Mart. ex Klatt, Sisyrinchium luzula Klotzsch ex Klatt, Sisyrinchium micranthum Cav., Sisyrinchium vaginatum Spreng., Trimezia cathartica (Klatt) Niederl., Trimezia juncifolia (Klatt) Benth. & Hook. f., Trimezia lutea (Klatt) R.C. Foster, Trimezia martinicensis (Jacq.) Herb. São apresentadas chaves de identificação para os gêneros e espécies, descrições, ilustrações, mapas e comentários sobre a ecologia das espécies no Distrito Federal. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The family Iridaceae has approximately 66 genera and more than 2030 species, distributed mainly in the continents of the southern hemisphere, and has more diversity in southern Africa and then South America. They are found in savannas and grasslands, with a few species in the forests. In Brazil this family has 11 genera and 50 species, and the genera with more species are: Neomarica Sprague (20 spp.), Trimezia Salisb. ex Herb. (13 spp.) e Sisyrinchium L. (10 spp.). The species of Iridaceae are characterized by eye-catching flowers, mostly pollinated by insects, and have rhizomes, corms or bulbs. Most species are herbaceous, with simple leaves, cylindrical or flat, linear or linear-ensiforms, with rhipidium or spike inflorescences and bisexual actinomorphic or zygomorphic flowers with two whorls of three tepals, with three stamens opposite to the outer tepals. The ovary is often inferior and the fruits are loculicidal capsules with three locules. This work aims to contribute to the knowledge of Iridaceae in the Federal District, and is based on field surveys and material analysis of the four different herbarium collections in the Federal District, and the herbarium of University of São Paulo and the São Paulo Institute of Botany. Four genera and 11 species were found: Alophia coerulea (Vell.) Chukri, Alophia sellowiana Klatt, Cipura paludosa Aubl., Cipura xanthomelas Mart. ex Klatt, Sisyrinchium luzula Klotzsch ex Klatt, Sisyrinchium micranthum Cav., Sisyrinchium vaginatum Spreng., Trimezia cathartica (Klatt) Niederle., Trimezia juncifolia (Klatt) Benth. & Hook. f., Trimezia lutea (Klatt) RC Foster and Trimezia martinicensis (Jacq.) Herb. Identification keys of genera and species, descriptions, illustrations and comments about the ecology of the species in the Federal District are also presented in this work.

A divisão Bryophyta, que inclui apenas os musgos com aproximadamente 12.000 espécies, pode ser dividida em três importantes grupos com base na posição do periquécio: Acrocár-pico, Cladocárpico e Pleurocárpico. Os pleurocárpicos possuem crescimento simpodial e esporófito produzido na lateral do ramo principal e das ramificações. São um grupo mono-filético que inclui as ordens Hookeriales, Hypnales e Ptychomniales, que constituem uma linhagem altamente diversificada com aproximadamente 42% das 12.000 espécies de mus-gos. O presente trabalho faz parte do Projeto Flora do Distrito Federal e será publicado segundo as normas da revista. Neste estudo foi realizado o levantamento das espécies de musgos pleurocárpicos ocorrentes no Distrito Federal. Foram realizados levantamentos nos herbários UB, IBGE, HEPH, RB, SP, CEN e UFG e coletas intensivas em diversas regiões do Distrito Federal, sendo identificadas 60 espécies e três variedades, agrupadas em 40 gêneros e 19 famílias de musgos pleurocárpicos. As famílias que mais se destacaram em termos de riqueza de espécies foram Sematophyllaceae (11 espécies), Hypnaceae (sete es-pécies), Pilotrichaceae (sete espécies) e Entodontaceae (cinco espécies). Foram registradas 28 novas ocorrências, sendo 22 para o Distrito Federal e seis para a região Centro-Oeste. Quanto ao substrato, 20 espécies (33%) apresentaram o hábito exclusivamente corticícolo, cinco (8,5%) apresentaram o hábito exclusivamente epixílico, quatro (6,5%) exclusivamen-te rupícola, duas (3,5%) exclusivamentes terrícola e 29 espécies (49%) foram coletadas em substratos variados. Apenas sete espécies (12%) não ocorreram sobre troncos e raízes de árvores vivas e/ou mortas. A maioria das espécies encontradas apresenta distribuição Neo-tropical (67%), seguida pelo Pantropical (15%), Cosmopolita (6,5%), Américas (3,5%) e Endêmicas do Brasil (3,5%). São apresentadas chaves e descrições para as famílias, gêne-ros e espécies e fotos e mapas de distribuição das espécies de musgos pleurocárpicos ocor-rentes no Distrito Federal. ________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The division Bryophyta, which only includes mosses, which has approximately 12,000 species, can be divided into three major groups based on the position of perichaetia: Acrocarpous, Cladocarpous and Pleurocarpous. The pleurocarpous have sympodial growth and sporophyte produced on the side of the main stem and branches. They are a monophyletic group that includes the orders Hookeriales, Hypnales Ptychomniales and which constitute a highly diverse lineage with 42% of the approximately 12,000 species of mosses. This work is part of the Federal District Flora Project and will be published according to the standards of the magazine. In this study we present a survey of species of mosses that occur in Federal District pleurocarpous. Surveys were conducted in herbaria UB, IBGE, HEPH, RB, SP, CEN and UFG and intensive collecting in different parts of the Federal District, resulted in 60 species and three varieties, grouped in 40 genera and 19 families of pleurocarpous mosses. Families which stood out in terms of species richness were Sematophyllaceae (11 species), Hypnaceae (seven species), Pilotrichaceae (seven species) and Entodontaceae (five species). We registered 28 new cases, 22 of the Federal District and six to the Midwest region. As the substrate, 20 species (33%) had the cortici-colous habit exclusively, five (8.5%) had the epixílico habit only four (6.5%) exclusively rupicola, two (3.5%) and 29 terrestrial e exclusively species (49%) were collected from various substrates. Only seven species (12%) did not occur on trunks and roots of living trees and / or logs. Most species found presents Neotropical distribution (67%), followed by Pantropical (15%), Cosmopolitan (6.5%), Americas (3.5%) and Endemic species from Brazil (3.5%). A key, descriptions and photos for the families, genera and species of pleu-rocarpous mosses occurring in the Federal District are presented.

Abstract:
This study investigates the implementation phase of reorganization. Although determination of reorganization success or failure is a rather intractable problem, this study sheds light on this issue by performing a structured study of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports to answer the question, what do GAO reports say about the implementation of federal agency reorganization? More specifically this study explores what portion of reorganization plans are implemented, what are both expected and unexpected costs, and what issues occurred during the implementation process. GAO reports on reorganization are used as a data source to gather information on a number of implementations of varying sizes. Content analysis is the tool to be used to extract data over a large number of implementations. This study provides a more nuanced view of implementation by evaluating a number of reorganization implementations as a data set. As Destler (1981a) said, 'For reorganization, as for any other change, implementation is the bottom line. Without it, the whole exercise is show and symbolism' (p. 155)Findings of this study reinforce observations on reorganization and implementation by many scholars. The results of the content analysis show the precepts of classical organization theory still influence implementation of reorganization. Economy and efficiency were found to be motivations in a large majority of reorganizations. This study also showed the primacy of personnel issues in implementation, especially when implementation resulted in a net loss of personnel. The desire to avoid layoffs combined with reduction in force procedures exacerbated uncertainty in implementation. Neither the implementation schedule nor the resulting workforce was completely under agency control in many cases. Finally, this study showed the conflict between advocates of less government and advocates of reinventing government was evidenced in reorganization implementation.

Abstract:
Thomas Boston (1676-1732) was a parish minister of the Church of Scotland and a theologian. He was involved in what has come to be known as the Marrow Controversy. This dispute concerned a book entitled The Marrow of Modern Divinity which the Church of Scotland condemned as heretical but which Boston believed to be a fine expression of orthodox Christian theology. In modern times, however, Boston has been the subject of contradictory and incompatible interpretations. There are those who regard Boston as a consistent federal Calvinist who was in complete agreement with the Westminster Confession of Faith. There are also those who argue that certain elements in Boston's theology ran counter to the teaching of the Confession and these, if followed through consistently, ought to have led to the rejection of federal theology. The object of the thesis was to determine which school of thought is correct in its interpretation of Boston. To establish this we have examined Boston's teaching on nine doctrines: the Covenants; the Person of Christ; The Atonement; Predestination; Regeneration; Justification; Sanctification; Repentance and Assurance. On the basis of this we conclude that he was indeed a consistent federal theologian. The opponents of federal theology have made the mistake of contrasting Boston with certain neonomians (especially Principal Hadow of St Andrews) while assuming that these neonomians were the authentic voice of federal Calvinism. Thus they were able to come to the mistaken conclusion that Boston, especially during the Marrow controversy, was engaged in a dispute with federal theology. The truth is that Boston was in dispute with a neonomian perversion of federal theology. The federal theology of Thomas Boston (1676-1732) is a paradigm of federal theology when it is properly understood as a theology of grace.
