The proposal consisted in identifying the penalty points recorded in national driving licenses (CNH) and identifying the corresponding tests and scores obtained, verifying if the average scores in the tests of drivers with and without an infraction record were significantly different and if there is any relation between the test scores and the frequency of the infractions. The results of the psychological instruments were collected in two moments the first being in the act of acquisition of the CNH and the second being during license renewal at the only certified clinic and at the DETRAN-RN. A population of 839 drivers of 14 municipalities were identified. 127 protocols of psychological tests were identified in the records of the DETRAN-RN (2002) and 76 at the clinic (2007), pointing out failures in the process of safekeeping of the psychological material, as well as in its retrieval from the record files. The sample was thus reduced to 68 drivers, all male, with age range between 18 and 41 years old, mean of 21,72 years old (DP = 5,24). 54 drivers were identified without a record of infraction, and 14 with a record. The latter committed 29 infractions. The penalty points recorded in their CNH ranged from 0 to 35 and the typical value of points (median) was zero. In the group with a record of infractions the number of points ranged between 3 and 35, mean of 10,79 (DP = 7,73). Differences were observed in the composition of the battery of tests in the two moments with the same subjects. The use of different tests to assess the same construct of the subject, first and second moment of assessment, did not allow for some analyzes with more efficient statistical proof. It was pointed out that five tests were not carried out and 118 were not corrected/analyzed. Significant differences between the groups were not identified with the psychological instruments used. In another attempt to establish differences between the means, the application of the independent t-Test evidenced a significant difference in the scores of the instruments of concentrated attention in 2002 (t = 2,21, gl = 25, p = 0.037) and of diffuse attention in 2002 (t = 2,37, gl = 24, p = 0.026). The results also did not evidence significant correlation between the scores of the tests and the penalty points of the infractions. Based on this study, it cannot be concluded with precision that the high or low scores are good criteria to determine that a driver will commit more or less traffic infractions, nor that the drivers with higher scores in the tests commit less infractions and vice-versa. Furthermore, the problems to find the instruments and the most basic data require a stronger monitoring on the part of the certified clinic and of the DETRAN-RN. / O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a possibilidade de prever o envolvimento em infra??es de tr?nsito a partir dos resultados dos testes psicol?gicos aplicados por psic?logos peritos no processo de habilita??o de condutores no Rio Grande do Norte (RN). A proposta consistiu em identificar os pontos na carteira nacional de habilita??o (CNH) e identificar os testes e os escores obtidos, verificando se os escores m?dios dos testes dos motoristas com e sem registro de infra??o s?o significativamente distintos e se existem rela??es entre os escores dos testes e a freq??ncia de infra??es. Os resultados dos instrumentos psicol?gicos foram coletados em dois momentos - sendo o primeiro no ato da aquisi??o da CNH e o segundo na renova??o - na ?nica cl?nica credenciada e no DETRAN-RN. Identificou-se uma popula??o de 839 condutores de 14 munic?pios. Encontraram-se nos arquivos do DETRAN-RN 127 protocolos de testes psicol?gicos aplicados (2002) e 76 na cl?nica (2007), evidenciando falhas no processo de guarda do material psicol?gico, bem como de sua recupera??o nos arquivos. A amostra ficou reduzida a 68 motoristas, todos do sexo masculino, com idade de 18 a 41 anos, m?dia de 21,72 anos (DP = 5,24). Identificaram-se 54 motoristas sem registros de infra??o e 14 com registro. Estes ?ltimos cometeram 29 infra??es. A pontua??o na CNH variou de 0 a 35 e o valor t?pico de pontos (mediana) foi zero. No grupo com registro de infra??o a pontua??o variou de 3 a 35, m?dia de 10,79 (DP = 7,73). Observaram-se diferen?as na composi??o das baterias de testes nos dois momentos nos mesmos sujeitos. O uso de testes diferentes para avaliar um mesmo construto do sujeito, primeiro e segundo momento de avalia??o, impossibilitou algumas an?lises com provas estat?sticas mais eficientes. Evidenciou-se que cinco testes n?o foram aplicados e 118 n?o foram corrigidos/analisados. N?o foram identificadas diferen?as significativas entre os grupos nos instrumentos psicol?gicos aplicados. Em outra tentativa para estabelecer diferen?as entre as m?dias, a aplica??o do Teste t independente evidenciou uma diferen?a significativa nos escores nos instrumentos de aten??o concentrada em 2002 (t = 2,21, gl = 25, p = 0.037) e da aten??o difusa em 2002 (t = 2,37, gl = 24, p = 0.026). Os resultados tamb?m n?o evidenciaram correla??es significativas entre os escores dos testes e as pontua??es das infra??es. Com base neste estudo, n?o se pode concluir com precis?o que os altos ou baixos escores s?o bons crit?rios para definir que um motorista cometer? mais ou menos infra??o de tr?nsito, nem que os motoristas com maiores escores nos testes cometem menos infra??o e vice-versa. Al?m disso, os problemas para se encontrar os instrumentos e os dados mais b?sicos requer um acompanhamento mais aprofundado por parte da cl?nica credenciada e do DETRAN-RN.

The therapeutical adherence represents the agreement degree between the patient behavior and the health team lapsings. The CKF is the gradual and irreversible loss of the renal function, being the hemodialysis treatment an important alternative to assist or to substitute the kidneys. Method: The sample consisted in 80 chronic kidney patients in hemodialysis treatment in two located clinical centers in the region of the great Natal, RN. It was used as instruments (a) a protocol of clinical data collection, (b) the Millon Index of Personality Styles (MIPS) and (c) a script of halfstructuralized interview. Results: The results show a balance between the genders (51% of female and 48.8% of the male sex), average age and equal average time of dialysis respectively to the 43,4 years (?13,25 years) and 22,04 years (?4,24 years). The marital status of half of the sample is married, predominating basic education (43.6%) and a familiar income until a minimum wage (43.8%). It had been defined six physicianlaboratorial indicators to evaluate the therapeutical adherence, further the use of the evaluation of the health team and the patient themselves. Thus, there was an average adherence around 55.97% of the sample ?18.37%). However only between selfassessment of the patients about the adherence and the assessment made by blood pressure post-dialysis indicated a significant association (p=0,029, qui-square test). On the other hand, there was a significant association (p <0.05, chi-square test) among the criteria for treatment adherence and issues investigated in the interview - the perception on the quality of the health services provided to patients, the difficulties following the prescribed diet, the characterization of the days between dialysis sessions and the perception of patients about the dialysis sessions. It was also noted a significant association (p <0.05, Levene test) between adherence to therapy and scales that constitute the MIPS. The health team characterized the patients more adherent behavior as an attitude of acceptance of the treatment, looking actively for their implementation, for more information and knowledge, and establishing a positive communication with the team and with other patients. Similar results were confirmed by the MIPS evaluation. According to that assessment the more compliant patients adopt a more optimistic attitude, trying to act or adapt themselves to their environment, processing cognitively both concrete and objective information, such as more speculative and symbolic information. In addition they establish a gregarious, cooperative, submissive and flexibly pattern of interpersonal relationships to social demands. These characteristics managed to explain 55.7% of the adherence variation according the health team and 23.3% of the variation according the CaxP laboratory indicator. Conclusions: The MIPS shown to be able to identify the most and least adherent to therapy patients. The use of different adherence indicators is important for an evaluation covering the different facets of this process. The adhesion levels are observed within registered by the relevant literature. There is need for further studies with a larger sample to deepen the data findings in this work / Introdu??o: Este trabalho busca caracterizar indicadores comportamentais de ader?ncia ao tratamento hemodial?tico por meio do Invent?rio Millon de Estilos de Personalidade em uma amostra de pacientes portadores de insufici?ncia renal cr?nica (IRC) na grande Natal/RN. A ader?ncia terap?utica representa o grau de concord?ncia entre o comportamento do paciente e as prescri??es da equipe de sa?de. A IRC ? a perda progressiva e irrevers?vel da fun??o renal, sendo o tratamento hemodial?tico uma importante alternativa para auxiliar ou substituir os rins. M?todo: A amostra consistiu de 80 pacientes renais cr?nicos em tratamento hemodial?tico em dois centros cl?nicos localizados na regi?o da grande Natal, RN. Utilizaram-se como instrumentos (a) um protocolo de coleta de dados cl?nicos, (b) o invent?rio Millon de estilos de personalidade (MIPS) e (c) um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturada. Resultados: Os resultados mostram que houve equil?brio entre os sexos (51% do sexo feminino e 48,8% do sexo masculino), idade m?dia e tempo m?dio de di?lise respectivamente iguais ? 43,4 anos (?13,25 anos) e 22,04 anos (?4,24 anos). O estado civil de metade da amostra ? casado, predominando o ensino fundamental (43,6%) e uma renda familiar at? um sal?rio m?nimo (43,8%). Definiram-se seis indicadores cl?nico-laboratoriais para avaliar a ader?ncia terap?utica, mais o uso da avalia??o da equipe de sa?de e do pr?prio paciente. Desse modo, observou-se uma ader?ncia m?dia em torno de 55,97% da amostra (?18,37%). Contudo apenas entre a auto-avalia??o do paciente acerca da ader?ncia e a avalia??o feita atrav?s da press?o arterial p?s-di?lise indicou-se uma associa??o significativa (p=0,029, teste qui-quadrado). Por outro lado, houve uma associa??o significativa (p<0,05, teste qui-quadrado) entre os crit?rios de ader?ncia ao tratamento e aspectos investigados na entrevista a percep??o da qualidade dos servi?os de sa?de prestados aos pacientes, as dificuldades no seguimento da dieta prescrita, a caracteriza??o dos dias entre as sess?es de di?lise e a percep??o dos pacientes acerca das sess?es de di?lise. Tamb?m se observou uma associa??o significativa (p<0,05, teste de Levene) entre a ader?ncia terap?utica e as escalas que constituem o MIPS. A equipe de sa?de caracterizou o comportamento do paciente mais aderente como uma postura de aceita??o do tratamento, buscando ativamente pela sua realiza??o, por informa??es e mais conhecimento, al?m de estabelecer uma comunica??o positiva com a equipe e com os demais pacientes. Resultados semelhantes foram confirmados pela avalia??o do MIPS. Segundo essa avalia??o os pacientes mais aderentes adotam uma atitude mais otimista, buscando agir ou adaptar-se ao seu meio, processando cognitivamente tanto informa??es concretas e objetivas, como informa??es mais especulativas e simb?licas. Al?m de estabelecer um padr?o de relacionamento interpessoal greg?rio, cooperativo, submisso e flex?vel ?s demandas sociais. Estas caracter?sticas conseguiram explicar 55,7% da varia??o da ader?ncia definida segundo a equipe de sa?de e 23,3% da varia??o da ader?ncia segundo o indicador laboratorial CaxP. Conclus?es: O MIPS demonstrou ser capaz de identificar os pacientes mais e menos aderentes. O uso de diferentes indicadores de ader?ncia ? importante para uma avalia??o que abarque as diferentes facetas desse processo. Os n?veis de ader?ncia observados est?o dentro do registrado pela literatura pertinente. H? a necessidade de outros estudos com uma amostra maior para aprofundar os dados achados nesse trabalho

As it has been one of the most used tools to assess bariatric surgery, the objective of this research is to verify the evidence validity of Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic (MBMD) for psychological assessment of candidates for bariatric surgery. Method: males and females volunteers, aged 18 to 70, grouped in 150 patients admitted for surgical procedures or suffering from chronic diseases (control group) and 426 patients candidates for bariatric surgery, contacted in person or by the internet. For the study in the face group were also administered Millon Index of Personality Styles (MIPS), the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) and the General Health Questionnaire of Goldberg, just in bariatric surgery patients. Results: there are indicators of semantic adaptation of the instrument, with 27 factors in five areas of the instrument, all with satisfactory levels of validity. The reliabitity indicators were satisfactory in 18 of the 32 scales that comprise the MBMD, while relations with the other three instruments showed significant variations compared to the original indicators. The MBMD was sensitive to differences between groups about gender, age, education, marital status, body mass index, comorbidities and chronic disease patients and with or without obesity. The use of this instrument in the assessment of candidates for bariatric surgery presents indicators of validity in view the limitations as to the realiability of certain scales / o Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic ? um instrumento elaborado a partir do consenso entre profissionais de sa?de, visando identificar fatores psicol?gicos que venham a comprometer tratamentos m?dicos para que sejam conduzidos de modo a viabilizar uma melhor ades?o.

Given the above, a central research question was posed: What are the guidelines for the preparation of an instrument to assess individual performance for the Instituto do Patrim?nio Hist?rico e Art?stico Nacional (IPHAN) that is perceived by servers as a management tool relevant the reality of the organization? The methodological approach of this research was to collect qualitative and empirical data we conducted a focus group interview. It was concluded that in order to develop a tool that ADI is perceived as a management tool relevant to the organization it is necessary a policy of unifying communication to disseminate the goals of its strategic plan, its macro-processes and their indicators. We conclude further that the development of the ADI should be led by technicians whose training is recognized by the workforce and be based on the duties and responsibilities of the servers, which must also be mapped and translated into a new Job and Career Plan / Este trabalho refere-se ao tema Gest?o Estrat?gica de Pessoas, tem como tem?tica a avalia??o de desempenho individual (ADI) numa institui??o p?blica ligada ? ?rea da cultura e vem ao encontro de uma inquieta??o da pesquisadora para, enquanto gestora, avaliar seus pares e subordinados e ser avaliada com base em um instrumento de avalia??o de desempenho individual que parece ter sido percebido pelos funcion?rios como instrumento apenas para concess?o de gratifica??o ou puni??o, estando assim dissociado de sua fun??o primordial que ? a de servir como feedback para todo o sistema de gest?o. Diante do exposto, uma quest?o central de pesquisa foi colocada: quais s?o as diretrizes para a elabora??o de um instrumento de avalia??o de desempenho individual para o Instituto do Patrim?nio Hist?rico e Art?stico Nacional (IPHAN) que seja percebido pelos servidores como uma ferramenta de gest?o pertinente ? realidade da organiza??o? A abordagem metodol?gica desta pesquisa foi qualitativa e para coletar dados emp?ricos foi realizada uma entrevista de grupo focal. Concluiu-se que para se elaborar um instrumento de ADI que seja percebido como instrumento de gest?o pertinente ? organiza??o faz-se necess?rio uma pol?tica de comunica??o unificadora que dissemine os objetivos de seu planejamento estrat?gico, os seus macroprocessos e seus indicadores. Concluiu-se, ainda, que a elabora??o da ADI deve ser liderada por t?cnicos cuja capacita??o seja reconhecida pelo corpo funcional e ter por base as responsabilidades e atribui??es dos servidores, que precisam tamb?m ser mapeadas e traduzidas num novo Plano de Cargos e Carreira.

This opening made a great number of students come back to the classrooms, which forced the IES, in many cases, to review its positions, information and communication processes, and to search new indicative of management and evaluation. The instauration by the Brazilian Government of the SINAES - National System of Evaluation of Higher Education in April 14 of 2004 imposed ten evaluatives dimensions that started to be followed by the higher education institutions. In this direction, this work is a case study developed in the Uni?o Social Camiliana and aim to evaluate, through the parameters proposed by the SINAES, how this organization is structured considering the communication and information processes. Improvements are also considered based in the concepts of Information Management and Competitive Intelligence. This evaluation was made through two instruments: applied questionnaires and reports collected in the institution. As a result of this process, we perceive that the Information Management and Competitive Intelligence can assist the IES to deal with varied information and communication contents, contributing for the improvement of the management processes and leading to match the SINAES requirements. This work proposes improvements in the communication and information processes in the Uni?o Social Camiliana, using of the concepts of Information Management and Competitive Intelligence. / Nos ?ltimos 11 anos, as Institui??es de Ensino Superior (IES) brasileiras sofreram uma s?rie de transforma??es devido ?s pol?ticas de abertura do Ensino Superior criadas pelo Governo Federal. Esta abertura fez com que uma grande massa de alunos voltasse ?s salas de aula, o que obrigou as IES, em muitos casos, a rever seus posicionamentos, processos comunicacionais e informacionais e buscar novos indicativos de gest?o e de avalia??o. A instaura??o do SINAES Sistema Nacional de Avalia??o do Ensino Superior, em 14 de abril de 2004 pelo Estado, institucionalizou dez dimens?es avaliativas que come?aram a ser seguidas pelas institui??es de ensino. Nesse sentido, este trabalho ? um estudo de caso desenvolvido na Uni?o Social Camiliana e procura avaliar, por meio dos par?metros propostos pelo SINAES, como a organiza??o est? estruturada no que se refere aos processos de comunica??o e informa??o e, com base nos conceitos de Gest?o da Informa??o e Intelig?ncia Competitiva, propor melhorias. Esta avalia??o foi realizada por meio de dois instrumentos: question?rios aplicados e relat?rios coletados na Institui??o. A partir dela, percebemos que a Gest?o da Informa??o e a Intelig?ncia Competitiva podem auxiliar as IES a lidar com conte?dos informacionais e comunicacionais diversos, contribuindo para melhoria dos processos de gest?o e melhor articula??o das propostas do SINAES.

PUC Campinas / Analysis of the symbolic dimension of the scientific journal, of what it represents to the scientific community, this dissertation emphasizes the importance of the mechanisms that attribute value to the scientific journal. It especially considers the creation of institutions whose objectives are to promote and stimulate the development of scientific and technological research, and whose policies support scientific publications. The corpus of the research is constituted by the scientific periodicals covering the area of Nutrition. The analysis focuses on their indexes, their explicit criteria for manuscripts? evaluation and selection by the scientific referees, and the composition of their Editorial Boards ? taking into account that authors may also perform the roles of editor or board member. The research results show how recent is the area of Nutrition and how the journals in such area need to reevaluate their objectives. It concludes that it?s necessary that journals adopt norms and specific patterns, besides proceeding to the selection and revision of the articles already entrenched in scientific editing, in order to have them indexed in mechanisms of the Nutrition area. Such procedures will assure that Brazilian science articles will be available at the main national and international database. / An?lise da dimens?o simb?lica da revista cient?fica, ou seja, o que ela representa para a comunidade cient?fica.

That model appears starting from Brazilian sanitary and psychiatric reforms which are expressed in the principles and propositions of Sistema ?nico de Sa?de SUS (Unique System of Health). The Psychiatric Reform meant a rupture with the mental hospital and hospital centered treatment pattern which was destined to the abusive users of alcohol and other drugs. The new proposal offers the universalization, democratization, regionalization and completeness of the actions in the field of mental health. It gathers a strictly interdisciplinary health staff. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment for abusive users of alcohol and other drugs offered by CAPSad II Eastern Natal/RN. The evaluation used, as priority, the qualitative social research through an evaluating study starting from the non-experimental model. The methodological process used different instruments of data collection: bibliographical and documental researches, systematic observations at CAPSad II Eastern Natal/RN and, mainly, the semistructured interviews (21) that were accomplished with the professionals, users and relatives of CAPSad II Eastern Natal/RN. The investigation showed the effectiveness of the service and, therefore, CAPSad II Eastern Natal/RN constitute itself as the main confronting strategy to the mental hospital and hospital centered treatment pattern of caring the abusive users of alcohol and other drugs / O tratamento para usu?rios abusivos de ?lcool e outras drogas, sofreu significativas modifica??es at? chegar ao modelo psicossocial, utilizado pelo Centro de Aten??o Psicossocial para usu?rios de ?lcool e outras drogas (CAPSad II leste Natal/RN).

For in such was made an economic valuation of the companies with focus in the beneficiary s optics using an adaptation of the Discounted Cash Flow method to measure the impact of the tax incentives in the value of the companies, this study selected the textile industry segment located in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The results indicated that such incentives created addition in the value of the companies, however the inexistence of incentives would not be enough to a negative decision of investment in the Rio Grande do Norte. The smallest difference between the value with and without incentive observed was 8.9%, and the biggest 31.7%, and the average of value aggregation with the tax incentives represented 18.9% / Este estudo tem como objetivo principal verificar o efeito dos incentivos fiscais e financeiros concedidos pelos Estados brasileiros, em especial a redu??o de ICMS, na decis?o de investimento das entidades, que tem, nos ?ltimos anos, levado as empresas a decidirem seus novos projetos em fun??o da regi?o que tiver melhor infra-estrutura, al?m de menor gasto tribut?rio. Para tanto, foi efetuada a avalia??o econ?mica das empresas, com foco na ?tica do benefici?rio, utilizando-se uma adapta??o do m?todo de Fluxo de Caixa Descontado, para mensurar o impacto dos incentivos fiscais no valor das empresas, sendo selecionado o segmento da ind?stria t?xtil, localizado no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. Os resultados encontrados indicam que tais incentivos provocam acr?scimo no valor das empresas, entretanto a inexist?ncia de incentivos n?o seria suficiente para que a decis?o de investimento no Rio Grande do Norte fosse negativa. A menor diferen?a entre o valor com e sem incentivo observada foi de 8,9%, a maior foi 31,7% e a m?dia de agrega??o de valor com o incentivo fiscal foi de 18,9%

Um aprimoramento de nosso federalismo fiscal, com maior descentraliza????o de recursos e implementa????o de regras de transfer??ncias federativas com maiores incentivos pr??-efici??ncia ??? aumentando os incentivos pr??-obten????o de melhores resultados sociais por parte das unidades subfederadas ??? pode se revelar instrumento importante na melhoria de nossas condi????es sociais. Para isto, dividiu-se esta tese em quatro partes distintas. No primeiro cap??tulo, discutem-se os impactos das receitas petrol??feras sobre as finan??as p??blicas municipais. As mudan??as legais ocorridas no pa??s na d??cada de noventa do ??ltimo s??culo - relativas ao setor petrol??fero - levaram a crescente (e concentrada) transfer??ncia de recursos do setor para os estados e munic??pios brasileiros. A forte sensa????o que estes estariam sendo desperdi??ados de alguma forma vem suscitando discuss??es sobre a necessidade de se reformular sua distribui????o. As recentes descobertas de megacampos petrol??feros no pr??-sal do litoral brasileiro somente intensificaram este processo. Buscou-se identificar os efeitos destas transfer??ncias sobre as vari??veis fiscais municipais no pa??s. Detectou-se que n??o ocorreu substitui????o tribut??ria, ou seja, estes recursos n??o diminu??ram o esfor??o arrecadat??rio dos munic??pios. Em compensa????o, tanto os recursos cuja distribui????o ?? bem mais concentrada (referentes aos royalties excedentes) quanto aqueles mais bem-distribu??dos (referentes aos royalties originais) levaram as prefeituras a aumentar seus gastos correntes (piorando sua composi????o do ponto de vista social) e diminuir seus investimentos. O contr??rio parece ocorrer com os recursos cuja distribui????o se d?? de forma intermedi??ria (os royalties referentes ??s participa????es especiais. No segundo cap??tulo, discute-se o impacto das receitas petrol??feras sobre a profici??ncia dos alunos at?? a quarta s??rie prim??ria das escolas p??blicas municipais. As receitas petrol??feras ??? agregadas ou n??o ??? n??o se mostraram estatisticamente significativas na explica????o do desempenho observado pelos alunos da quarta s??rie prim??ria das escolas municipais em portugu??s ou matem??tica. Este resultado, entretanto, deve ser olhado com cautela, uma vez que n??o ?? trivial identificar como (e o tempo necess??rio) estes efeitos seriam gerados. Entretanto, diferentes fontes de receitas municipais impactariam de forma diferenciada as profici??ncias observadas nos testes de portugu??s e matem??tica, explicitando a necessidade de se entender melhor estas diferen??as para se desenhar mecanismo mais eficiente de repasse de recursos constitucionais aos munic??pios. No terceiro cap??tulo, estudam-se os impactos das emancipa????es municipais ocorridas na d??cada de 90 sobre o bem-estar das popula????es locais. Devido ?? Constitui????o Federal de 1988, o n??mero de munic??pios no Brasil multiplicou-se fortemente na d??cada de 90 do ??ltimo s??culo. Mais de mil munic??pios foram criados em todo o pa??s, fazendo seu n??mero ultrapassar a casa dos 5.500. Este processo tem sido interpretado de forma bastante negativa. Baseado em evid??ncias aned??ticas, se pressup??e que os atores pol??ticos locais o utilizaram para se apropriar de maior parcela dos recursos transferidos de outros n??veis governamentais. Entretanto, nenhum esfor??o mais sistem??tico foi realizado buscando calcular, de maneira efetiva, os resultados sociais l??quidos deste processo. ?? isto que se busca fazer aqui, utilizando dados sobre os munic??pios mineiros - cujo n??mero passa de 723 em 1991 para 853 em 2000. Foram detectados impactos positivos relacionados a diversas vari??veis educacionais e de sa??de. Ao mesmo tempo, o contr??rio ocorreu com os indicadores de pobreza e indig??ncia. Este resultado mostra que o movimento observado de emancipa????o municipal talvez tenha sido bastante ben??fico, sinalizando para a exist??ncia de mercados pol??ticos eficientes nestas localidades, o que indicaria a necessidade de se manter uma maior autonomia local relativa a processos de emancipa????o de distritos. Por fim, no quarto cap??tulo, analisam-se os impactos de lei (implementada em Minas Gerais) que buscou aumentar os incentivos pr??-efici??ncia das prefeituras municipais a partir das transfer??ncias federativas. Buscando melhorar as condi????es de vida dos munic??pios mineiros, o governo estadual mineiro instituiu, em 1995, a lei 12.040, conhecida como Lei Robin Hood. Esta permitia que 25% dos recursos de ICMS a serem distribu??dos aos munic??pios mineiros se dessem sobre resultados observ??veis em diversas ??reas tais como sa??de, educa????o, conserva????o ecol??gica, entre outras. Ou seja, esta institu??a, em rela????o a estas transfer??ncias, um contrato de alto poder com os munic??pios relacionados ??s pol??ticas p??blicas implementadas. O estudo destas transfer??ncias (relativas ?? educa????o e sa??de) mostrou resultados d??bios. Resultados positivos relativos ?? educa????o e ?? sa??de parecem ocorrer em todo o estado, mas os incentivos dados poderiam ser bem maiores - faz-se necess??rio um refinamento das regras da partilha destas transfer??ncias. Dada a relativa escassez deste tipo de contrato em transfer??ncias federativas, seja no Brasil, seja no restante do mundo, este resultado aponta a necessidade de utiliza????o de instrumentos de maior poder nas rela????es federativas, buscando incrementar as condi????es de vida locais. / This thesis aims to discuss municipal public finance issues. An improvement of the Brazilian fiscal federalism, with greater resources decentralization and the implementation of high-powered rules for the federative transfers may be an important tool in the improvement of our social conditions. To do so, this thesis was divided into four distinct parts. The first chapter discusses the oil revenues impacts on municipalities??? public finance. The legal changes that occurred in Brazil in the nineties in the oil and gas sector led to increasing royalties transfers to Brazilians states and municipalities. The annedoctical evidence that this transfers are not been used properly - in a way that would increment the local welfare - have originated a important discussion about these distribution rules. This paper tries to identify this revenues impacts over others municipalities??? fiscal variables. It seems that this did not impact the others sources of municipalities revenue. Unhappily, some of the resources (which distribution is either more or less concentrated) led the municipalities to increase their current expenditures and diminishes their investments efforts. At the same time, they are not spending this extra money in a way that would increment the local welfare. On the other hand, the resources which distribution is between these two limits has the opposite effect. The second chapter discusses the impact of oil revenues on the proficiency of fourth grade students of primary public schools. The oil revenues - bundled or not - were not statistically significant in explaining the observed student performance in Portuguese and mathematics. This result, however, must be analyzed with caution, since it is not trivial to identify how (and when) these effects would be generated. However, different sources of municipal revenue would impact differently the students??? proficiency scores, explaining why we need to better understand these differences to design more efficient constitutional transfer mechanisms to the municipalities. In the third chapter, we study the impacts of municipal emancipation occurred in the 90s on the well-being of local populations. More than a thousand of new municipalities were created at the nineties in Brazil, due the new Federal Constitution of 1988. There is anecdotic evidence that this was a pretty harmful process for the Brazilian welfare, but there were no systematic attempt to valuate it properly. This paper tries to do so using data from Minas Gerais municipalities which number has grown from 723 to 853 ones in that decade. The results suggest that this process strongly improved the welfare of the local population. This implies that local political markets are efficient and it should be allowed for any district to emancipate from its former municipalities, if their population wishes to do so. Finally, in the fourth chapter we analyze the impact of law (implemented in Minas Gerais) who sought to increase the incentives pro-efficiency of municipal governments. In order to improve the welfare of its citizens, the state government of Minas Gerais (Brazil) has imposed, at 1995, the state law 12.040, known as Robin Hood law. It stated that 25% of the revenue transferred to the municipalities should be allocated through observable results achieved in education, health, environment among others. In other words, this law established a high power contract between the state government and the municipalities, which is not very usual. This study shows that this law had a significant impact on the municipalities??? education and health. But it???s necessary to redesign these transfers??? rules, in order to improve its power and its results. These results shows that the use of high powered rules in federative transfers could be a strong mechanism in order to improve the population welfare. / Economia e Finan??as
