The birth assistance and funeral assistance (part of Article 22 of LOAS) were put into operation since 1954 when they were established by Decree no. 35.448 the social security policy. The transfer from one policy to another is not guaranteed the continuance of grating such right, contrary to its own devices placed in the Organic Law on Social Assistance. With this, its audience was penalized: the welfare recipients who left to access the aid and potential users of social welfare policy, given the absence of its regulation. This demonstrates that not be legally established (and isn t) enough to be properly implemented throughout the country, which implies economic setbacks, political, social, cultural and even personal. The various practices and actions in relation to grant aid, part of the social history itself, which, in most cases, was through these actions that received some type of aid or assistance. In the obdobie of right, the granting of benefits must occur in a clear, precise and qualified to ensure its management, financing and social control, which helps to curb welfare practices, clientelistic and paternalistic. From the study of a particular reality, aimed to investigate how the benefits are now possible: from is recognition, brought by LOAS by the presence of current law and documents, as Resolution 212, 2006, Presidential Decree no. 6.307, 2007, among others / A regulamentação dos benefícios eventuais, previstos desde 1993 no corpo da Lei Orgânica de Assistência Social (LOAS), ficou a cargo dos municípios, estados e Distrito Federal, por meio de seus respectivos conselhos. O auxílio natalidade e auxílio funeral (parte do artigo 22 da LOAS) eram operacionalizados desde 1954 quando foram instituídos pelo Decreto nº. 35.448 pela política previdenciária. O translado de uma política para outra não garantiu a continuidade de concessão desse direito, contrariando os dispositivos postos na própria LOAS. Com isso, seu público alvo foi penalizado: os beneficiários da previdência social, que deixaram de acessar esses auxílios e os potenciais usuários da política de assistência social, face a ausência de sua regulação. Isso demonstra que estar legalmente instituído não foi (e não é) suficiente para estar devidamente implementado em todo o país, o que supõe empecilhos econômicos, políticos, sociais, culturais e mesmo pessoais. As diversas práticas e ações, em relação à concessão de auxílios, fazem parte do próprio histórico da assistência social, em que, no mais das vezes, eram por meio dessas ações que se recebia algum tipo de auxílio ou atendimento. Na era dos direitos, a concessão de benefícios deve ocorrer de modo claro, preciso e qualificado, no sentido de garantir sua gestão, financiamento e controle social, o que contribui por coibir práticas assistencialistas, clientelistas e paternalistas. A partir do estudo de uma dada realidade, buscou-se conhecer como os benefícios eventuais se encontram atualmente: desde do seu reconhecimento, trazido pela LOAS, até a presença de legislações e documentos atuais, como a Resolução 212, de 2006, o Decreto Presidencial nº 6.307, de 2007, entre outros

BE are under the responsibility of the social welfare policy since 1993 and are a social assistance right in the sector of distributive social protection. BE have established a public state duty to support citizens in view of life cycle events, such as birth and death, and day-to-day hardships, such as temporary vulnerability, lack of social protection and public calamity. The cities, states and the Federal District are responsible for ensuring such right, thus it is necessary to consider the cooperation agreement regarding management, regulation and funding signed by these organizations before the Federative Agreement. Based on real-life data and through evidence-based, theoretical, documentary and legal analyses, this research sought to rebuild the history of such benefits, identify previous forms of care, investigate their elements and make a few considerations about the current BE provided. Finally, this study aims to perform an evidence-based reality analysis of the city and the state of São Paulo, highlighting the lack of cooperation among the organizations responsible for ensuring such social assistance right, which is part of the social protection sector of the Brazilian Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS) / Este estudo investiga o cenário e o histórico de avanços e desafios, permanências e mudanças, no reconhecimento do benefício eventual (BE). Sob a incumbência da política de assistência social desde 1993, como um direito socioassistencial no campo da proteção social distributiva, o BE institui o dever público estatal no apoio ao cidadão em face das eventualidades do ciclo da vida, como o nascimento e a morte, e das adversidades cotidianas, como as vulnerabilidades temporárias, desproteções sociais e calamidades públicas. O dever de garantir essa atenção centra-se junto aos municípios, estados federados e Distrito Federal, o que requer considerar a relação de cooperação quanto a gestão, regulamentação e financiamento firmada entre esses entes ante o Pacto Federativo. A partir dos dados da realidade, das análises empírica, teórica, documental e legal, a pesquisa buscou reconstruir o histórico desse benefício, identificar formas de atenção que o precederam, investigar os elementos de sua natureza e tecer algumas considerações acerca das modalidades de BE asseguradas atualmente. O trabalho tem, por fim, São Paulo (cidade e estado) como realidade empírica a ser examinada, destacando a inexistência de cooperação entre esses entes responsáveis em garantir esse direito socioassistencial, o qual é parte do campo de proteção social do Sistema Único de Assistência Social

This research investigated the potential benefits, risks and challenges, innovation properties and viability of cloud computing for records management on an Australian organisation within the mining software development sector. This research involved the use of a case study results analysis as well as a literature analysis. The literature analysis identified the ten potential benefits of cloud computing, as well as the ten risks and challenges associated with cloud computing. It further identified aspects, which needed to be addressed when adopting cloud computing in order to promote innovation within an organisation. The case study analysis was compared against a literature review of ten potential benefits of cloud computing, as well as the ten risks and challenges associated with cloud computing. This was done in order to determine cloud computing’s viability for records management for Company X (The company in the case study). Cloud computing was found to be viable for Company X. However, there were certain aspects, which need to be discussed and clarified with the cloud service provider beforehand in order to mitigate possible risks and compliance issues. It is also recommended that a cloud service provider who complies with international standards, such as ISO 15489, be selected. The viability of cloud computing for organisations similar to Company X (mining software development) followed a related path. These organisations need to ensure that the service provider is compliant with laws in their local jurisdiction, such as Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Australia, 2011:14-15), as well as laws where their data (in the cloud) may be hosted. The benefits, risks and challenges of records management and cloud computing are applicable to these similar organisations. However, mitigation of these risks needs to be discussed with a cloud service provider beforehand. From an innovation perspective, cloud computing is able to promote innovation within an organisation, if certain antecedents are dealt with. Furthermore, if cloud computing is successfully adopted then it should promote innovation within organisations. / Information Science / M. Inf.
