The study is presented as observational ecological predominantly analytical and exploratory. The study was conducted in the state of Paraiba, and specifically in each of its municipalities. Data from SINAN, IBGE and Ministry of Health of Paraíba. For the analysis of the study, we employed two software tools TabWin and R, version 32 and version 2.9.1, respectively. For statistical analyzes, we used Cointegration and Unit Root, besides the application of generalized linear models and Poisson regression. We conducted mapping the incidence and described, year by year, ranging between 2001 and 2011, were generated maps colorful and noticed a predominance of notifications between the priority municipalities, however the identification of small municipalities with high values reported. Set up a generalized linear model for Poisson family with identity link, however, the model in the final version, showed no adjustment to the database, feature limitations presented by the database. According to previous studies on this topic, the characteristics of the impact of TB, such as, suffering and economic loss caused by it, configured as an affront to the conscience of society, and its permanence or persistence of occurrence is considered a failure scientific, medical and political. The concept of statistics, can be described as a part of applied mathematics, which provides methods for collecting, organizing, description, analysis and interpretation of data as well as to their use in supporting decision making. It is observed that the relevance or representativeness of the study, according to the statistical criteria, is not just the end result, but in the process, which led to such conclusion. Finally, it is observed that both models support the decision making process used in this study were effective, however, the Poisson regression model presented limitation of not being adjusted, due to the characteristics of the database. / O objetivo principal deste estudo é mapear a incidência dos casos de Tuberculose no estado da Paraíba e em seus municípios, bem como, expressar a relação dos determinantes sociais com os casos no Brasil, no período compreendido entre 2001 e 2011. O estudo apresenta-se como sendo observacional do tipo ecológico com predominância analítica e exploratória. O estudo foi desenvolvido no estado da Paraíba, e especificamente em cada um de seus municípios. Foram utilizados dados do SINAN, IBGE e Secretaria de Estado da Saúde da Paraíba. Para a análise do estudo, foram empregados dois softwares, o TabWin e o R, versão 32 e versão 2.9.1, respectivamente. Para as análises estatísticas, foram utilizados Cointegração e Raiz Unitária, além da aplicação dos Modelos Lineares Generalizados e Regressão de Poisson. Foi realizado o mapeamento da incidência e descrito, ano a ano, compreendidos entre 2001 e 2011, geraram-se os mapas coropléticos e percebeu-se uma predominância de notificações entre os municípios prioritários, entretanto a identificação de pequenos municípios com altos valores notificados. Ajustou-se um modelo linear generalizado para a família Poisson, com ligação identidade, entretanto, o modelo na versão final, não demonstrou ajuste ao bando de dados, característica apresentada pela limitação do banco de dados. Segundo estudos pregressos acerca desta temática, as características de impacto da Tuberculose, tais como, o sofrimento e a perda econômica causada por ela, configuram-se como uma afronta à consciência da sociedade, e, sua permanência ou persistência de ocorrência, é considerada uma falha científica, médica e política. O conceito de estatística, pode ser descrito como uma parte da matemática aplicada, que fornece métodos para coleta, organização, descrição, análise e interpretação de dados, bem como, para a utilização dos mesmos, no suporte a tomada de decisões. Observa-se que a relevância ou representatividade do estudo, segundo os critérios estatísticos, não consiste apenas no resultado final, mas, no processo, o qual, o conduziu a tal conclusão. Por fim, observa-se que ambos os modelos de suporte a tomada de decisão utilizados neste estudo, mostraram-se eficazes, entretanto, o modelo de Regressão Poisson, apresentou a limitação de não estar ajustado, em virtude das características do banco de dados.

Main objective of this thesis is to examine in detail the topic of performers' intellectual property rights and their term of protection, offering an insight based both on the historical background and the current state of legal regulation (Czech, European and international). Especially, I deal with the changes resulting from implementation of Directive 2011/77/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 September 2011 amending Directive 2006/116/EC on the term of protection of copyright and certain related rights. A significant part is also dedicated to the recently adopted Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances (2012). The introductory chapter consists of a comprehensive historical overview that covers important events and sources of law relevant to performers' intellectual property rights and their term of protection. Certain documents can be considered milestones, such as Rome Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty and the Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances. A substantial part is also dedicated to the harmonisation of term of protection of copyright and certain related rights through European law. The second chapter gives a brief overview of the concept and...

It is a social-historical research, a qualitative approach, which is the predominant method of oral history. Oral history brings the prospect of receiving revelations, secrets, details, etc.., So that some subjective aspect that may seem today will be clarified as well as being a modern resort that makes possible the recovery of memory and (re ) construction of history from the very words of those who experienced and participated in a given period, by their references and also his imagination. The data was through a survey of nursing management of documents HUWC who were in the central file and in the office of the office of the Coordination of nursing, such as reports, photographs, internal communications, planning for services, among others and through interviews with the nurses identified. The enterview were recorded, transcribed in full and returned to the interviewees make the verification of the reliability of the transcripts at that time there were some adjustments, fruits of new memories of the interviewees. Were also gathered documents and photos kindly provided bythe nurses interviewed. The interviews were analyzed through the use of interpretive hermeneutics – dialectic. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee in Research of Hospital University Walter Cantídio (CEP/HUWC). The history-social this result production was organized according to chronological history experienced by the protagonists and announces some issues that accompany the story of the administration of nursing HUWC, as the struggle for professional development, the relationship of power, desire and need for knowledge and scientific and technological advances, the relationship multidisciplinary, humanization of the team finally has a cycle that does not denote a linear process sequenced. In fact demonstrates a non-linear process that occurs by advances and retreats in historic times deferent, with different dynamics given the deferential historical and social conditions inherent to each person interviewed. So, like any story, that it does not end with this dissertation. It just opens the way to be traveled by others so that all is not lost and, as Le Goff recalled, the story is the daughter of memory, deservedly, have to be careful. / O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender a trajetória histórica da administração da enfermagem no Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio no período de 1959 a 2011, a partir da narrativa de dez enfermeiras que assumiram o cargo de administração maior na Enfermagem do Hospital Universitário desde 1959, ano de sua fundação até o ano de 2011. Trata-se de uma pesquisa histórico-social, de abordagem qualitativa, cujo método predominante é a história oral. A história Oral traz a perspectiva de receber revelações, segredos, detalhes, etc., de forma que algum aspecto que possa parecer subjetivo nos dias atuais venha a ser esclarecido, além de ser um recurso moderno que torna possível o resgate da memória e (re ) construção da história a partir das próprias palavras daqueles que a vivenciaram e que participaram de um determinado período, mediante suas referências e também seu imaginário. Os dados foram por meio de um levantamento dos documentos gerenciais da enfermagem do HUWC que se encontravam no arquivo central e na secretaria da Coordenação de enfermagem, tais como: relatórios, fotografias, comunicações internas, planejamento para os serviços, entre outros e por meio de entrevistas realizadas com as enfermeiras identificadas. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas na sua íntegra e retornadas para as entrevistadas fazerem a verificação da fidedignidade das transcrições, nesse momento houve alguns ajustes, frutos de novas memórias das entrevistadas. Também foram reunidos documentos e fotos gentilmente cedidos pelas enfermeiras entrevistadas. As entrevistas foram analisadas por meio do recurso interpretativo da hermenêutica – dialética. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio ( CEP/HUWC). O resultado dessa produção histórico - social foi organizado de acordo com a trajetória cronológica vivenciada pelas protagonistas e anuncia alguns assuntos que acompanham a história da administração da enfermagem no HUWC, como a luta pela valorização profissional, a relação do poder, o desejo e a necessidade de conhecimento e de avanços científicos e tecnológicos, a relação multiprofissional, a humanização da equipe enfim, apresenta um ciclo que não denota um processo linear, sequenciado. Na verdade demonstra um processo não linear que se dá por avanços e recuos em deferentes épocas históricas, com diferentes dinâmicas dadas as dIferentes condições históricas e sociais inerentes a cada personalidade entrevistada . Portanto, como toda e qualquer história, essa também não acaba com esta dissertação. Ela apenas abre caminho que deve ser percorrido por outros para que não se percam todos e, como lembrou Le Goff, a história é filha da memória que, merecidamente, precisa ser cuidada.

The Diploma thesis entitled Situation of People with Rheumatoid Arthritis in the Context of Legislative Changes deals with a topic which is not sufficiently resolved in the Czech society. Attention paid to the new Act no. 329/2011 Coll., on Provision of Subsidies to People with Disabilities and on Amendment to Related Acts, is not at a sufficient level either. The theoretical part of the Diploma thesis deals, at a general level, with rheumatoid arthritis. This is followed up by a focus on psychosocial aspects of the life of subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, on the social security system in the Czech Republic and on the Act no. 329/2011 Coll. Qualitative research was selected to achieve specified objectives of the practical part of the Diploma thesis. Interviews were used to obtain all necessary data. The technique for acquisition of necessary data was based on semi-controlled interviews. The interviews consisted in a list of questions which were discussed within the framework of the interview. The basic file for data collection was formed of people with rheumatoid arthritis. The selective file consisted of clients of the Rheumatology League of the Southern Bohemia Region. Altogether 20 interviews were made. The main aim of the Diploma thesis was to identify the impacts of changes implying from the Act no. 329/2011 Coll., on Provision of Subsidies to People with Disabilities, on the situation of people with rheumatoid arthritis. This objective was followed up by another three partial objectives, namely to find out how people with rheumatoid arthritis perceive the change in the subsidy payment site for handicapped people; to find out the impacts of the change in concepts of subsidy for mobility on people with rheumatoid arthritis; and to find out how people with rheumatoid arthritis perceive their obligation to provide data on incomes for justification of their entitlement for a special device. Survey questions were formulated on the basis of the Diploma thesis objectives as follows: 1. Did the frequency of transport decrease for people with rheumatoid arthritis in connection with the change in the amount of the subsidy for mobility? 2. Do people with rheumatoid arthritis perceive any benefits in unification of the subsidy payment place at the Labour Office? It implies from the results of the survey that the impacts of changes resulting from the Act no. 329/2011 Coll. did not have any impact on the situation of people with rheumatoid arthritis. During fulfilment of the objective of finding out how people with rheumatoid arthritis perceive the change in the subsidy payment place, two respondents pointed out that the issuing of the cards marking a vehicle transporting a person suffering from heavily impaired mobility pursuant to the Act no. 361/2000 Coll., on Road Traffic, which is closely interrelated with these issues, is performed at the Municipal Authority at the Department of Social Affairs. It has been furthermore found out on the basis of the survey that the change in the concepts of the subsidy for mobility has not had any impact on people with rheumatoid arthritis yet. And finally, the last conclusion of this Diploma thesis is the fact that people with rheumatoid arthritis do not mind the obligation to provide data on incomes while proving their entitlement for a special device. One of the aims of this Diploma thesis is to contribute to understanding of the entire situation of people with rheumatoid arthritis in the context of legislative changes. The results obtained from the survey could be useful for the general scientific public. An Annex to this Diploma thesis is a presentation which can facilitate orientation in the new Act. This presentation will be used as a material accompanying a lecture held in the Rheumatology League Association in České Budějovice.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar as disputas entre os estados envolvendo a tributação pelo ICMS das operações de circulação de mercadoria contratadas pela internet. A despeito da extensa disciplina sobre o tributo na Constituição Federal de 1988, intensificam-se os conflitos entre os estados em torno do ICMS. No caso do comércio eletrônico, a internet impulsiona o aumento das operações de compra e venda realizadas de forma remota. Tendo em vista que o parâmetro de origem foi adotado pela Constituição Federal na tributação das operações interestaduais destinadas a consumidores finais não contribuintes do imposto, alguns estados sustentam que o crescimento do comércio eletrônico afeta o equilíbrio horizontal da arrecadação do ICMS. Com base nesse argumento, editaram legislações estaduais e firmaram o Protocolo ICMS nº 21/2011 para exigir a cobrança de adicional do imposto na entrada das mercadorias em seus territórios. Diante disso, em primeiro lugar, será analisado o conceito de comércio eletrônico, suas modalidades e seus modelos de negócios. Será feito também um breve exame da evolução histórica da tributação das operações de circulação de mercadoria, assim como das características do federalismo brasileiro que justificam as disputas entre os entes. Em seguida, será analisada a legitimidade dessa nova exigência tributária e a concessão de incentivos fiscais aos estabelecimentos virtuais. Por fim, serão examinadas as propostas para a solução deste conflito entre os estados. / The present work has the purpose of analyzing the disputes between Brazilian states regarding the taxation of electronic trade of goods. Despite of the extensive regulation of the Value added tax on sales and services ICMS in the Federal Constitution of 1988, the conflicts between the states are still increasing. Regarding electronic commerce, the internet enhances the expressive development of transactions performed remotely. Considering that the Federal Constitution adopted the source of principle to tax interstate transactions destined to non-taxpayers, some states claim that the expansion of electronic commerce affects the horizontal balance of the collection of ICMS. Based on that, these states published laws and celebrated the ICMS Protocol n. 21/2011 to levy a tax in the entrance of goods purchased on-line. The present study will, at first, analyze the concept of electronic commerce, its modalities and business models. Then, the historical evolution of the taxation of trade of goods will be examined, as well as the characteristics of the Brazilian federalism that may justify the disputes between the states. Afterwards, the legitimacy of this new tax levy will be scrutinized, along with the fiscal incentives granted to virtual establishments. Finally, the propositions to solve this conflict between the states will be evaluated.

Esta tese realiza uma aproximação entre os campos individual, tradicionalmente pensado pela psicologia clínica, e coletivo, normalmente objeto da psicologia social. Partindo da psicologia analítica inaugurada por Carl Jung (1875-1961), e principalmente da psicologia arquetípica, vertente pós-junguiana cujo principal autor é James Hillman (1926-2011), chega-se a um ponto em que esta separação não se faz necessária ou produtiva para analisar o material coletado. A ideia de anima mundi (alma do mundo), de inspiração neoplatônica, e os conceitos hillmanianos de patologizar e psicologizar (ou ver através) formam a base de sustentação da presente construção. Ademais, contribuições da sociologia e da antropologia contemporâneas compuseram a estrutura necessária para sua feitura final. O objetivo da tese é analisar problemáticas da vida na cidade contemporânea, especificamente refletidas em certas intervenções urbanas de caráter transgressivo e ilegais, feitas com tinta sobre edificações variadas, conhecidas como grafite (ou graffiti) e pichação (ou pixação), muito comuns na Grande São Paulo. Foram examinadas, sobretudo, as pixações tipicamente paulistas, notórias pelo formato conhecido como tag reto. Concluiu-se que a prática da pixação, além de expressar simbolicamente a violência da vida urbana, agencia laços de amizade e convivência fundamentais para muitos jovens e adolescentes. Tais criações estão ao mesmo tempo intimamente ligadas aos polos de uma intensidade vital, de um lado, e de destruição e morte, de outro; denunciam uma faceta sombria da metrópole, sendo representações do patologizar, movimento in extremis e próprio da alma (psique). Ao marcarem o espaço, sobretudo central e mais nobre da cidade, os grupos de pixadores, quase sempre oriundos dos bairros periféricos e pobres, promovem a possibilidade de um fazer-alma desta psique coletiva. Além disso, movimentos mais recentes dentro do universo da pixação levantaram a hipótese: ao se engajarem em protestos políticos, sem deixar de lado a agressividade e a transgressão próprias da pixação, promovem a passagem do patologizar ao ver através. Deixando mensagens legíveis em locais simbólicos, os pixadores abrem uma possibilidade de diálogo entre a consciência coletiva e a psique inconsciente, trabalhando complexos culturais relevantes de São Paulo, ligados à opressão / This thesis makes a rapprochement between the individual and collective fields the former traditionally developed by Clinical Psychology, and the latter by Social Psychology. Leaning on Carl Jungs (1875-1961) Analytical Psychology and on Archetypal Psychology, post- Jungian school whose main author is James Hillman (1926-2011), the material was analyzed without such separation, considered unnecessary and unproductive for the reflections achieved here. The idea of the anima mundi, inspired by the neo-platonic tradition, and Hillmans formulations of pathologizing and psychologizing (or seeing-through) form the basis of this construction. Moreover, contributions from contemporary Sociology and Anthropology compose the necessary bricks to its final workmanship. The object of study of the thesis is life in the contemporary city, specifically reflected on some transgressive and illegal urban interventions made with inks on varied edifications, known as graffiti and pixação, very common in the Great Sao Paulo. Above all, the paulista (from Sao Paulo) pixação, was examined: notorious by its specific calligraphy, called straight tag. It was concluded that the pixação, besides expressing symbolically the violence of urban life, promotes friendship and sociability fundamental for many adolescents and young people. Such creations are at the same time intimately connected to the poles of a vital intensity, on one hand, and destruction and death, on the other hand; they denounce a shadowy side of the metropolis, being representations of the pathologizing, a in extremis movement and particular from the soul (psyche). When the pixação activists (usually poor people from the outskirts) mark the space, mainly the center of the city and its noble areas, promote the possibility of a soul-making of such collective psyche. A hypothesis was also raised: as part of the pixação writers from Sao Paulo were recently involved in political manifests, they opened themselves up to a communication with a broader collectivity (including the metropolis inhabitants that are distant from this universe), without leaving aside aggression and transgression, both proper of the pixação. This would be a passage of the psyche from pathologizing to psychologizing in the present days. When they leave legible messages in symbolical sites of the city, the activists open a possibility of a dialogue between the collective consciousness and the unconscious psyche, working on relevant cultural complexes from Sao Paulo, connected to the oppression

Uppsatsen kommer reflektera kring vad som gör ett spel till en e-sport med fokus på tre huvuddelar inom e-sport idag. Detta baseras på Klines, Peuters och Dyer-Withefords teori om Three Circuits of interactivity; Teknik, Marknadsföring och Kultur. Dessa tre delar utgör e-sport. Alla spel som finns på marknaden idag är tävlingsinriktade och går ut på att lösa problem, men alla spel är inte e-sporter och det finns även spel som försvunnit från scenen. Vi ville undersöka hur detta var möjligt. Vilka faktorer är det som gör att vissa spel bli e-sporter? Vi samlade information under DreamHack Vinter 2011 från flera källor inom e-sport. Bland informanterna hade vi en kommentator, professionella spelare och spelutvecklare. Vi analyserade våra resultat med hjälp av Klines, Dyer-Withefords och De Peuters teori om Teknologi, Marknadsföring och Kultur. Vi lade även till rubriker som streams, sponsorer och hårdvara för att göra den mer tillämpbar för e-sport. I vår undersökning fann vi att både spelare och spelutvecklare krävde att spelen skulle vara tävlingsinriktade för att fungera som e-sport. De ville inte ha slumpmässiga element som avgjorde matcher eller turneringar. När det kom till marknadsföring inom e-sport så var de professionella spelarna mer intresserade av att bli sponsrade, så att de kan fokusera helt och hållet på sitt spelande och stora turneringar som DreamHack. Spelutvecklarna var mer intresserade av att se hur de spenderar pengar för att få e-sporten att växa och även deras spel. De såg pengar som den största orsaken till att vara på turneringar och att utveckla spel. För att ett spel ska kunna bli en e-sport krävs alla tre punkter vi listat ovan. Marknadsföring idag är en vital del av e-sporten med streams och sponsrade spelare. Tekniken är avgörande för spel när det kommer till prestanda. Även att föra samman spelare och länder världen över med snabba internet uppkopplingar. Kultur kan få e-sport till en välkänd sport och hjälpa spel att blir mer socialt accepterade i vårt samhälle. För att ett spel ska kunna bli en e-sport så måste det ha kompetativ struktur, en balanserad struktur och ett behov av färdigheter. / This essay will reflect upon what makes a game an e-sport. Focus is on three major parts in e-sports today; Technology, Marketing and Culture. These three parts is the components of what we can call e-sports today. All games are competitive by nature, but not all games are e-sports. Some games have even dropped out from the e-sport-scene. This essays purpose is to find out why some games become e-sports, and some don’t. What factors decides if a game becomes an e-sport? We gathered information during DreamHack winter 2011 from several sources within e-sport. Amongst the informants are a commentators, professional gamers and game developers. We analyzed our results with Kline’s, Dyer-Witheford’s and De Peuter’s theory of Technology, Marketing and Culture. Under these categories we added headings like streams, sponsorship and hardware standards to make it more adaptable to e-sports. In our research we found that both players and game developers needed e-sports to be competitive in order to work. They did not want random elements deciding whether or not a team won a tournament. When it came to the marketing aspects of e-sports, the professional gamers were more interested in seeing sponsors, so they could focus entirely on gaming at large tournaments like DreamHack so they could play and have fun. The game developers were more interested in seeing how they spent money in order to grow e-sports and their game. They saw money as the number one reason for being at tournaments and developing their game. In order for a game to become an e-sport the three perspectives listed above is crucial. Marketing today is a vital part of the e-sports with streams and sponsored gamers. Technology is important when it comes to performance and shortening of the distance between gamers from different countries through faster internet connectivity. Culture can make e-sports into a well-known sport and help games to be more socially accepted in our society. For a game to become an e-sport it has to have a competitive structure, an equal chance for fair game and a need for skill.
