Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Neste estudo, buscamos compreender as prÃticas educativas e os saberes presentes na feira livre de SÃo Bento, localizada na cidade de Cascavel-CE a qual dista de Fortaleza 64 km. Para a realizaÃÃo dessa pesquisa, escolhemos como suporte teÃrico BrandÃo (2005); Durkheim (2007); Burke (2003); Huberman (1976) e Certeau (1998). Optamos pelo enfoque qualitativo e utilizamos a pesquisa bibliogrÃfica como suporte no esclarecimento do tema investigado. Usamos tambÃm o estudo de caso que proporcionou recolher o mÃximo de informaÃÃes e aprofundamento sobre as prÃticas educativas dos feirantes. Na coleta de dados o enfoque metodolÃgico escolhido foi a observaÃÃo participante, com o apoio do diÃrio de campo, alÃm de entrevistas semiestruturadas com os protagonistas da pesquisa. Procuramos buscar na histÃria oral um caminho para entender a relaÃÃo dos feirantes com a feira, e percebemos que o trabalho na feira possui caracterÃsticas afetivas que fortalecem os laÃos entre feirantes. Vimos que a feira à muito mais que um ambiente de compra e venda de produtos, observamos que nesse espaÃo nascem histÃrias de vidas, saberes que crescem a partir de experiÃncias vividas nas prÃticas cotidianas. Destacamos ainda que os ambientes informais tambÃm manifestam prÃticas educativas e isso mostra que a educaÃÃo à um fenÃmeno livre. Portanto, a feira livre de SÃo Bento à um evento social, cultural e educativo que contribui na sobrevivÃncia de muitas famÃlias. / In this study , we sought to understand the educational practices and knowledge present in the fair of St. Benedict , in the city of Cascavel - EC which is distant 64 km from Fortaleza . For this survey , we chose as BrandÃo (2005 ) theoretical support ; Durkheim (2007 ) ; Burke ( 2003); Huberman (1976) and Certeau (1998). We chose the qualitative approach and used the literature to support the clarification of the subject investigated . We also use the case study that provided the most information gathering and deepening of the educational practices of the merchants . During data collection, the methodological approach chosen was participant observation with the support of a field journal, and semistructured interviews with the protagonists of the research. We seek to pursue a path in oral history to understand the relationship of stallholders with the fair, and we realize that the work at the fair receives affective characteristics that strengthens ties between marketer and fair. We saw that the show is more of an environment for buying and selling products , we observe that this space born life histories , knowledge that grow from experiences in everyday practices . We also point out that informal environments also manifest educational practices and this shows that education is a free phenomenon. Therefore, the street fair of St. Benedict is a social, cultural and educational event that contributes to the survival of many families.

O presente trabalho contém algumas ideias, no nível do Ensino Médio, dos tópicos da Matemática, quais sejam proporcionalidade e Matemática Financeira. A apresentação de ambos os tópicos tem uma marca que é a resolução de problemas que consideramos motivadores, e que podem ser encontrados em múltiplos contextos. A seguinte linha de pensamento no desenvolvimento dos tópicos é adotada: em proporcionalidade, de início, problemas são apresentados e logo na sequência se foca o aspecto conceitual numa exposição minuciosa dos aspectos teóricos e práticos do tópico. O desenvolvimento da teoria é feita com detalhes desde a definição passando pelos resultados centrais até se chegar à caracterização de variáveis proporcionais. Notas explicativas são inseridas para evidenciar certos aspectos na rotina de estudantes e professores na situação de apreender/ensinar e que enriquecem o texto, um exemplo disso é a nota explicativa acerca dos limites de aplicação da teoria. A Matemática Financeira é apresentada a partir de problemas contextualizados e cujas resoluções são munidas de registros figurais que facilitam a apreensão conceitual. Em todo o desenvolvimento do tópico se discute o significado dos termos mais frequentes e há uma tentativa de evidenciar que a importância do tópico hoje reside no fato que se trata de uma ferramenta que subsidia a tomada de decisão financeira. / The present work contains some ideas, for the high school level, about the topics from Mathematics, which are Proportionality and Financial Mathematics. The presentation of both topics carries a mark that is the solution for the problems we consider motivating, and they can be found in several contexts. The following sequence of thought in thedevelpment of the topics is adopted: initially, in proportionality, problems are presented, and right afterwards, the conceptual aspect focuses the detailed demonstration of the theoretical and practical apspects of the topic. The theory development is carried out with details since the definition going across the central results till reaching the characterization of proportionals variables. Explaining notes are inserted to show certain aspects in the routines of students and teachers in the aprehending/teaching situation that enrich the text, and an example of this is the explaining note about the limits of the theory application. The Financial Mathematics is presented from the contextualized problems and their solutions are provided with pictorial records that facilitate the conceptual aprehension. The whole development of the topic discusses the meaning of the terms most frequently found and there is an attempt to evidence that the importance of the topic nowdays resides in the fact that such a tool subsidizes the financial decision making.

<p>Purpose: The main purpose of the thesis is to examine the consequences of applying IAS40 on the Swedish real estate companies’ annual reports. How does its application affect the companies’ stockholders’ capital and how do the companies solve the problems that occur due to the application of this standard.</p><p>Method: The authors use both the qualitative and quantitative approaches to process the thesis. The primary data comprises of hard data in form of annual reports and the secondary data consists of the soft data as direct interviews and email interviews.</p><p>Theory: There aren’t any theories on the subject. The authors base their work on the laws and regulations about the subject.</p><p>Empirical base: Hard data from annual reports is represented in tables and make up the primary data of the thesis. The secondary data consists of the summary of the interviews.</p><p>Conclusions: The authors have come to the conclusion that the application of the IAS 40 does not imply any dramatic consequence for the business accounting and that the enterprises do not feel any difficulty in applying it. All of the companies have chosen to report in fair value. Certainly, annual reporting has become more expensive but the annual reporting in return has become manageable and gives a better picture of the company. There aren’t any bigger drawbacks with the standard but reporting has become theoretically extensive – that means that the reports contain information that are not necessary.</p>

An increased openness and rapidity of the media has resulted in more comprehensive coverage of organizations and their behavior. Additionally increased customer awareness of corporate ethical behavior has led to higher customer demands and expectations resulting in added pressure on companies. Corporate social responsibility has by researchers been identified as the solution to these increased expectations. There are various types of CSR activities and this study focuses on the concept of Fair Trade. A literature review examining the existing research within the field was performed to identify a research gap that assisted in establishing the purpose of the study. The purpose of this study is to assess how practicing CSR strategies at Coop influence subjective performance, and if these are deliberate or emergent. Three research questions were formulated to answer the purpose. The study tests a research model that has not yet been tested in practice, namely the 3C-SR model. The study has been conducted through a case study in the form of in-depth interviews and content analysis. The study was carried out through five interviews with employees from the Swedish grocery chain Coop. Organization-wide needs for well-developed communication, consistency and clear goals regarding CSR and Fair Trade were recognized. Practical managerial implications have been concluded based on these findings. Additionally, a suggestion for developing the existing research model is presented. The study reveals that Fair Trade is not practiced entirely in accordance with the 3C-SR model. Potentiality was identified concerning the subjective assessment, hence the subjective performance was not ultimate. The study further concluded that despite deliberate features, the corporate strategy was highly emergent.
