Para tanto, realizamos análises empíricas utilizando a regra de Taylor para checar se há adequação da politica monetária brasileira a esta regra e estimamos um modelo Vetores Auto-Regressivos (VAR) para testar o poder de explicação de diversas variáveis macro e microeconômicas. O conhecimento dos efeitos da Política Monetária no setor imobiliário poderá entrever uma tendência para o comportamento futuro desse setor diante da recente política restritiva do Banco Central do Brasil. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / This study aims to assess whether monetary policy in Brazil during the period 2006 to 2009 was important for the growth in the Brazilian real estate sector, the commercial sector, with the purpose of profitability. Therefore, we performed empirical analysis using the Taylor rule to check the adequacy of the Brazilian monetary policy to this rule and we estimate a Vector Autoregressive model (VAR) to test the power of explaining the various macro and microeconomic variables. Knowledge of the effects of monetary policy on real estate may perceive a trend for the future behavior of this sector given the recent restrictive policy of the Central Bank of Brazil.

Questions concerning children's rights and children's place in society have been on the agenda for some decades now. Parallell to this movement questions about children's place in the bible, in the church and in systematic theology have entered the academical conversation. This paper attempts to find a method to investigate whether systematic theology as we know it, has the tools to address these new questions. Axel Honneth's theory on recognition will be important, since the three levels of recognitions he describes are designed to point out the difference between rights and solidarity, between formal recognition and the recognition that sprouts from genuine intrest in shared experience.  The thougths from Honneth are combined with John Wall's argumentation on seeing the child as a full humna being, as a subject. Risto Saarinen's discussion on asymmetrical relations, adds an important perspective. From these three theories, a method is formulated for putting the child in focus on the theological agenda. The gain is not only the recognition of a neglected group, measured to one third of humankind. The new viewpiont shreds its light upon questions important to all of us. The method is a systematic theological tool both useful for pointing out inconsistencies and to suggest solutions to the very same problems.  In the final discussion I show how this could be done by adressing the children's place in the postmodern family project, described by Katarina Westerlund, and children as liturgical leaders with the help of Karin Rubensson's thesis.

This thesis takes as its object of study a certain strand of Early Modern English writing characterised by its cornucopian invention, immethodical structure, and creatively exuberant, often chaotic, means of expression. It takes as its point of departure the Erasmian theory of ‘copia' (rhetorical abundance), expanding upon it freely in order to formulate new and independent notions of copious vernacular writing as it is practised in 16th- and 17th-century contexts. Throughout I argue for the continuity and pervasiveness of the pursuit of linguistic plenitude, in contrast to a prevailing belief that the outpouring of 'words' and 'things' started to dissipate in the transition from one century (16th) to the next (17th). The writers to be discussed are Thomas Nashe, Robert Burton, John Taylor the ‘Water-Poet', and Sir Thomas Urquhart. Each of the genres in which these writers operate–prose-poetry, the essay, the pamphlet, and the universal language–emerge either toward the end of the 16th century or during the course of the 17th century, and so can be said to take copious writing in new and experimental directions not fully accounted for in the current scholarship. My contribution to the literature lies principally in its focus on the emergence of these literary forms in an Early Modern English context, with an emphasis on the role played by copiousness of expression in their stylistic development and how they in turn develop the practice of copia.
