Esta dissertação propõe-se a analisar a regulamentação da exclusão extrajudicial de sócio na sociedade empresária limitada no direito brasileiro, tendo como núcleo da pesquisa a incidência e aplicação das disposições do artigo 1.085 do Código Civil sobre o tema, a partir do qual são abordados os requisitos de ordem material e procedimental necessários para que se possa lançar mão de tal ferramenta jurídica, que tem por principal objetivo a proteção da empresa e de sua continuidade diante dos atos de inegável gravidade praticados pelos sócios minoritários. Busca-se analisar os elementos que permitam uma compreensão do instituto a fim de facilitar e disseminar sua utilização. Para tanto, aborda-se no primeiro capítulo os pressupostos deontológicos do contrato de sociedade limitada no direito brasileiro, com a análise dos deveres dos sócios e da utilização do fim social como parâmetro interpretativo da conduta dos sócios frente tais deveres. No segundo capitulo é abordada a justa causa da exclusão extrajudicial de sócio no Código Civil brasileiro, sendo realizada a apresentação das justas causas da exclusão judicial e extrajudicial de sócio, para que, posteriormente, seja abordado o conceito de atos de inegável gravidade que coloquem em risco a continuidade da empresa. No terceiro parágrafo são analisados os requisitos prévios ao conclave no qual será tomada a deliberação de exclusão de sócio. Finalmente, no quarto capítulo são abordados os requisitos formais relativos ao conclave no qual a deliberação do sócio será tomada. / This master thesis proposes to examine the regulation of the non-judicial expel of a partner from the limited liability companies in the Brazilian Law. The research has as its core the provisions of the article 1085 of the Brazilian Civil Code, from which it examines the material and the procedural requirements for the company to use the legal tool represented by the non-judicial expel of a partner. The main purpose of such non-judicial expel is to protect the company and the continuity of its enterprise, regarding the undeniable gravity of acts committed by the minority of shareholders. This essay aims to analyse the elements that allow an understanding of the institute to facilitate and disseminate their use. For that, it is discussed in the first chapter the ethical assumptions of the limited liability companies in the Brazilian Law, with the analysis of the partners duties and the use of the company purposes as an interpretative parameter of the members conduct considering those duties. In the second chapter it is addressed the cause of the non-judicial expel of a partner in the Brazilian Civil Code. In this part of the essay, the causes of judicial and non-judicial expel of a partner will be compared to gather the elements to analyse the concept used by the article 1085 of the Brazilian Civil Code: the acts of undeniable gravity to bring the enterprise continuity into risk. In the third chapter, the requirements prior to the conclave, in which the determination of expel of a partner will be taken, are analysed. Finally, the fourth chapter examines the formal requirements concerning the conclave in which the expel of the partner will be decided.

Esse trabalho teve por objetivo, observar se após a adoção do programa de Parceria de Desenvolvimentos Produtivo, entre empresas públicas e privadas, houve alguma mudança na importação dos insumos farmacêuticos ativos: clozapina, cabergolina e lamivudina durante o período de 2010 a 2015. Foram coletados dados dos insumos importados e observados se os mesmos atendiam às normas regulatórias sanitária vigentes, assim como os dados epidemiológicos de doenças tratadas por estes medicamentos e seus hábitos de prescrição médica. Os resultados iniciais revelaram que houve uma diminuição de 50% na quantidade da importação do IFA Cabergolina, a cada ano, a partir do ano de 2013, também foi observado, uma estabilização, sem aumento do quantitativo importado, do IFA Clozapina e em estudos complementares mostrou a diminuição da importação do IFA Lamivudina. A queda no número das importações, não estava relacionada a uma possível diminuição no número de casos das doenças, ou a alguma mudança no hábito de prescrição dos medicamentos contendo os IFA importados. Durante o desenvolvimento do estudo foi observado um aumento das adequações sanitária, e do cumprimento das normas regulatórias a publicações das mesmas pela Anvisa / In the last decades, the national production of drugs from nationally manufactured inputs has been stimulated through several government programs, because they understand that medicines are a strategic product, treated in public policies that involve improving the health of the Brazilian population. The objective of this study was to observe whether there was any change in the importation of the active pharmaceutical inputs: clozapine, cabergoline and lamivudine during the period from 2010 to 2015 after the adoption of the Productive Development Partnership program between public and private companies. Data on imported inputs and observed whether they met the current sanitary regulations, as well as epidemiological data on the diseases treated by these medicines and their medical prescription habits. The initial results showed that there was a decrease in the amount of 50% of the import of IFA Cabergoline, every year, from 2013 onwards, a stabilization was also observed, with no increase in the imported quantity, of IFA Clozapine and in studies showed a decrease in the importation of IFA Lamivudine. The decrease in the number of imports was not related to a possible decrease in the number of cases of the diseases, or to some change in the prescription habits of the medicines containing the imported IFAs. During the development of the study it was observed an increase in the sanitary adequacy, and of the compliance with the regulatory norms to the publications of the same ones by Anvisa

A dissertação examina o regime jurídico do direito de retirada de sócios de sociedade simples e de sociedade limitada a partir da vigência do CC/2002. Para tanto, parte do estudo de sua natureza jurídica e de uma releitura dos fundamentos jurídicos deste instituto. Serve-se, ainda, de considerações sobre a evolução histórica do direito de retirada tanto no direito nacional quanto em ordenamentos estrangeiros (Alemanha, Espanha, França, Itália e Portugal). Assume especial relevo neste percurso o tratamento dado ao direito de retirada de sócio de sociedade limitada e a construção pela doutrina e pela jurisprudência do instituto da dissolução parcial stricto sensu sob a vigência do Decreto n° 3.708/1919 e do Código Comercial de 1850, respectivamente. Com base nos pressupostos acima, a dissertação passa a abordar de forma pormenorizada o direito de retirada de sócios de sociedade simples e sociedade limitada previsto no CC/2002, identificando as hipóteses em que é legalmente autorizada e aprofundando-se no exame do seu regime jurídico em cada tipo societário. Por fim, analisando as hipóteses de dissolução total de sociedades previstas pelo CC/2002, procura definir se e em quais hipóteses o instituto da dissolução parcial stricto sensu ainda é aplicável. / This dissertation examines the legal framework of the right of partners to withdraw from a simple company (sociedade simples) and from a limited liability company (sociedade limitada) under the current Brazilian Civil Code (CC/2002). For such purposes, the dissertation starts by studying its legal nature and revisits its legal basis. It also considers the historical development of the right to withdraw under Brazilian law and that of certain other jurisdictions (Germany, Spain, France, Italy and Portugal). In the context of this historical analysis, it assumes special importance the right of partners to withdraw from a limited liability company (sociedade limitada) and the doctrinal and case law creation of the institute of partial dissolution (dissolução parcial stricto sensu) under Decree No 3,708/1919 and the Commercial Code of 1850, respectively. Having regard such review, the dissertation addresses, in detail, the right of partners to withdraw from a simple company (sociedade simples) and a limited liability company (sociedade limitada), as contemplated by the current Brazilian Civil Code (CC/2002), thereby also identifying when the same is authorized in each type of corporate vehicle and each applicable legal framework. Finally, by analyzing the scenarios for dissolution of companies contemplated by the current Brazilian Civil Code (CC/2002), it seeks to identify whether and in which scenarios the partial dissolution (dissolução parcial stricto sensu) is still applicable.

The school, inserted in a capitalist society, by influence of this political and economic side, is now considered as a commodity. Thus, the nature of the problem of this research is part of this context, in order to analyze how the politics of meritocracy in the formation and in the teaching work is manifested. To this end, the "Partners of Education" Movement, which is designated as an entity of civil society, has been the subject of research and is the author of references for the elaboration of hegemonic educational policies. The purpose of this research is to understand the conception of meritocracy in training and teaching work in the "Education Partners", identifying the presence of this conception in the current National Education Plan as well as in teacher training, especially in the training proposal developed by Municipal Secretary of Education of Dois Vizinhos, State of Paraná. The methodology of the research was developed from the perspective of qualitative research, through the use of documental and bibliographic research. The following authors of the analyzes were used: Luiz Carlos de Freitas (2011, 2012), Gaudêncio Frigotto (2006, 2015), Dermeval Saviani (1987, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2010) Luiz Antônio Cunha (1980), Karel Kosik (1976). The principles of liberalism are briefly presented and how they justify meritocracy, which is at the origin of this doctrine. Through the ontological, epistemological and political foundations of this concept, meritocracy will be contextualized in times of neoliberal state and the establishment of new attributions to the teaching work. Subsequently, it analyzes the NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) "Partners in Education" and investigates the trend on the ideology of meritocracy in one of its documents: "The transformation of the quality of public basic education in Brazil", published in 2010, highlighting how the ideology of meritocracy and the proposals of the "Partners of Education" are materialized in the National Education Plan (2014-2024) with regard to the teaching work. Finally, an analysis of the continuing education of teachers in the municipal network of Dois Vizinhos-PR is carried out, revealing how the ideology of meritocracy is reproduced in this context. It is concluded that the ideology of meritocracy is a trend that has been consolidating in the continuous formation of teachers, from the educational policy of the Brazilian State to the specificity of the municipal network of Dois Vizinhos-PR. Its objective is to form the new human type suitable to neoliberalism and post-Fordism: the multipurpose subject, self-entrepreneur, individualist and competitive. To form this new human type in the public school, hegemonic educational policy requires the teacher training in the perspective of the pedagogy of skills - learning theory, while imposing the accountability to teachers for the results of education. / Essa pesquisa, mostra como a ideologia da meritocracia no pensamento liberal e neoliberal se manifesta nas concepções e propostas para o trabalho docente na educação brasileira e, em específico, na rede municipal de Dois Vizinhos-PR no período de 2013 até o mês de fevereiro de 2018. A escola, inserida em uma sociedade capitalista, por influência dessa vertente política e econômica, passa a ser considerada como mercadoria. Assim posto, a natureza do problema da referida pesquisa parte desse contexto, para analisar como se manifesta a política da meritocracia na formação e no trabalho docente. Para tal, tomou-se como objeto de investigação o Movimento “Parceiros da Educação” que, é designada como entidade da sociedade civil, e é criadora de referências para elaboração de políticas educacionais hegemônicas. O objetivo dessa investigação consiste em compreender a concepção de meritocracia na formação e no trabalho docente no “Parceiros da Educação”, identificando a presença desta concepção no atual Plano Nacional de Educação bem como na formação de professores, em especial na proposta de formação desenvolvida pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Dois Vizinhos, Estado do Paraná. A metodologia da pesquisa foi desenvolvida na perspectiva de investigação qualitativa, através do uso da pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. Utilizouse os seguintes autores de referência das análises: Luiz Carlos de Freitas (2011, 2012), Gaudêncio Frigotto (2006, 2015), Dermeval Saviani (1987, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2010) Luiz Antônio Cunha (1980), Karel Kosik (1976). São apresentados, sucintamente, os princípios do liberalismo e como estes justificam a meritocracia, a qual está na gênese dessa doutrina. Através dos fundamentos ontológicos, epistemológicos e políticos desse conceito, a meritocracia será contextualizada em tempos de Estado neoliberal e o estabelecimento de novas atribuições ao trabalho docente. Posteriormente, análisa a ONG (Organização Não Governamental) “Parceiros da Educação” e investiga a tendência sobre a ideologia da meritocracia, em um de seus documentos: “A transformação da qualidade da educação básica pública no Brasil”, publicado no ano de 2010, evidenciando como a ideologia da meritocracia e as propostas do “Parceiros da Educação” se materializam no Plano Nacional de Educação (2014-2024) no que diz respeito ao trabalho docente. Por último, realiza-se uma análise da formação continuada de professores na rede municipal de Dois Vizinhos-PR, revelando como a ideologia da meritocracia se reproduz nesse contexto. Conclui-se que a ideologia da meritocracia é uma tendência que vem se consolidando na formação continuada de professores, desde a política educacional do Estado brasileiro até a especificidade da rede municipal de Dois Vizinhos-PR. Seu objetivo é formar o novo tipo humano adequado ao neoliberalismo e ao pós-fordismo: o sujeito polivalente, empresário de si mesmo, individualista e competitivo. Para formar este novo tipo humano na escola púbica, a política educacional hegemônica, requer do professor uma formação na perspectiva da pedagogia das competências - teoria da aprendizagem, ao mesmo tempo que impõem a responsabilização aos professores pelos resultados da educação.

Magister Psychologiae - MPsych / Alcohol remains the most commonly abused substance in South Africa and several studies have shown associations between alcohol use and risky sexual behaviours, which pose a risk of HIV infection. Research indicates that the age group of 15-24 years is a high risk group for HIV infection. This study aimed at examining the perceptions of alcohol as a risk factor to HIV infection amoungst a sample of university students.Specifically, this study tested the hypotheses that most students perceive that those who consume alcohol were more likely to engage in unprotected sex, sex with multiple partners, casual sex and transactional sex. The Information Motivation Behavioural(IMB) skills model provided the theoretical framework for the study. Using a quantitative research design, a survey questionnaire was used to collect the data. The sample consisted of 240 first year psychology students (192 females, 48 males). Data analyses indicated support for the hypotheses that alcohol consumption was perceived as high risk for unprotected sex, casual sex and sex with multiple partners. However, the data showed no support for the hypothesis of alcohol increasing the risk of transactional sex. The data also indicated that non-drinkers were more likely to perceive alcohol as a risk factor than drinkers. The recognition by students of alcohol as a risk factor for HIV infection provides an opportunity for raising awareness about safer sex practices at institutions of higher learning in South Africa.

Uganda, like several developing countries, is a recipient of development assistance. This assistance, which is provided by rich developed countries, supports among others human rights programmes in these countries. Development partners that provide this assistance wield considerable influence arising from the assistance they provide. This study seeks to determine what role development assistance plays in the promotion and protection of human rights in Uganda. The study establishes that, similar to several African countries such as Malawi, Zambia, Kenya and Ghana, Uganda is aid-dependent. Although Uganda is committed to reducing this dependence, it is concluded that without this vital lifeline of development assistance, Uganda would not be able to fully fund and run its human rights programmes or development budget. The study further establishes that international cooperation and the provision of development assistance are embodied in international human rights treaties and declarations. However, while there is an obligation to provide development assistance, stipulated in international human rights treaties, the study establishes that some development partners do not recognise this obligation. A model convention providing for the obligation to provide development assistance is elaborated in this study. The study arrives at the conclusion that development partners through the provision of development assistance have advanced the human rights agenda in Uganda, though sometimes impedding the development of an authentic domestic human rights culture. The study recommends that there is a need to reverse this situation. The study concludes with several recommendations aimed at making Uganda own its human rights agenda. / Thesis (LLD)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Centre for Human Rights / unrestricted

HARP (Heparin Affin regulatory peptide) est un facteur de croissance qui constitue avec la midkine une sous-famille des Heparin Binding Growth Factors (HBGFs). HARP est impliqué dans de nombreux processus physiologiques comme la neurogenèse et la vasculogenèse mais aussi dans des processus physiopathologiques comme l’angiogenèse et la progression tumorale. HARP interagit avec différents récepteurs (N-syndécan, RPTPβ/ζ, et ALK). Plus récemment, il a été montré au laboratoire que la nucléoline, protéine navette entre le noyau, le cytoplasme, et la surface cellulaire est un nouveau récepteur à HARP. Malgré les avancées dans ce domaine, l’interaction de HARP avec ses récepteurs n’est pas totalement élucidée. L'objectif de ce projet de thèse était la recherche de nouveaux partenaires moléculaires qui interagissent avec HARP, de comprendre le mécanisme de leurs interaction et d’analyser les effets biologiques. A ce titre, j’ai participé à l’étude de l’interaction de HARP avec le facteur de croissance des fibroblastes, le FGF-2. Ce facteur liant l’héparine est également mitogène et angiogène. En utilisant des techniques de biocapteurs optiques et d’interaction protéine-protéine, nous avons montré une interaction directe entre HARP et le FGF-2 et qui implique les domaines C-TSR-I et C-terminale de HARP. De plus, cette interaction inhibe la migration et la prolifération des cellules endothéliales, induites par le FGF-2 ou par HARP seuls. En parallèle, j’ai mis en évidence l’interaction entre HARP et la NRP-1. NRP-1 est une protéine transmembranaire, ayant comme ligands principaux, les sémaphorines de classe 3 (SEMA 3A), le facteur de croissance endothélial vasculaire (VEGF) et le FGF-2. En plus de son rôle crucial dans le développement des systèmes nerveux et cardiovasculaires, la NRP-1 est impliquée dans les processus physiopathologiques tels que l’angiogenèse et l’invasion tumorale. Ainsi, la NRP-1 présente un profil biologique similaire à HARP. En utilisant des tests d’ELISA, d’immunoprécipitation et de « pull-down », nous avons montré que HARP interagit avec la NRP-1. Cette interaction semble être directe et s’effectue via les domaines de liaison à l’héparine TSR-I. HARP induit l’internalisation de la NRP-1 au bout de 15 minutes et son recyclage partiel à la surface cellulaire au bout d’une heure. L’internalisation de la NRP-1 s’accompagne par la phosphorylation des voies MAPK (ERK1/2), Akt et FAK. L’interaction HARP/NRP-1 est cruciale pour la migration des cellules endothéliales et l’invasion des cellules tumorales. En conclusion, ces résultats apportent de nouvelles avancées concernant les partenaires moléculaires de HARP en particulier et montrent également la complexité des interactions des facteurs de croissance entre eux et avec leurs récepteurs. Plus généralement, cette étude permet d'envisager des stratégies thérapeutiques ciblant l’interaction de la NRP-1 avec HARP et aussi les autres facteurs de croissance. / HARP (Heparin Affin regulatory peptide) is a growth factor that constitutes with midkine a subfamily of Heparin Binding Growth Factors (HBGFs). HARP is involved in many physiological processes such as neurogenesis and vasculogenesis but also in pathophysiological processes such as angiogenesis and tumor progression. HARP interacts with different receptors (N-syndecan, RPTPβ / ζ and ALK). More recently, it has been shown in the laboratory that nucleolin, a protein shuttle between the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell surface, is a new HARP receptor. Despite the advances in this field, the interaction of HARP with its receptors is not fully understood. The aim of this thesis was the search for new molecular partners that interact with HARP, to understand the mechanism of their interaction and analyze the biological effects. My work was firstly to participate to the study of the interaction of HARP with the fibroblast growth factor-2, FGF-2. This factor is also an heparin-binding factor, with mitogenic and angiogenic activities. Using techniques of optical biosensors and protein-protein interaction, we have shown a direct interaction between HARP and FGF-2 that involves C-TSR-I and C-terminus domains of HARP. In addition, HARP inhibits the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells induced by FGF-2. In parallel, I highlighted the interaction between HARP and NRP-1. NRP-1 is a transmembrane protein having as main ligands, semaphorins class 3 (SEMA 3A), the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and FGF-2. In addition to its crucial role in the development of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, the NRP-1 is involved in physiopathological processes such as angiogenesis and tumor invasion. Thus, NRP-1 has a biological profile similar to HARP. Using ELISA, immunoprecipitation and "pull-down" tests, we have shown that HARP interacts with NRP-1. This interaction appears to be direct and occurs via heparin binding domains of HARP: TSR-I. HARP induces internalization of NRP-1 after 15 minutes and partial recycling to the cell surface after one hour. The internalization of the NRP-1 is accompanied by the phosphorylation of MAPK pathways (ERK1 / 2), Akt and FAK. HARP/NRP-1 interaction is crucial for endothelial cell migration and invasion of tumor cells. In conclusion, these results provide new advances on molecular partners of HARP in particular and also show the complexity of the interactions between these growth factors and their receptors. More generally, this study allows considering therapeutic strategies targeting the interaction of NRP-1 with HARP as well as other growth factors.

Initialement, le droit des sociétés était dominé par un principe général d'égalité. Par conséquent, la discrimination entre associés n'était admise que de façon exceptionnelle. Cette situation a, toutefois, évolué sous l'effet conjugué de deux phénomènes. D'une part, doctrine et jurisprudence s'accordent depuis longtemps à admettre que l'égalité entre associés n'a qu'une portée relative. Celle-ci doit s'apprécier in concreto et ne s'oppose pas aux traitements inégalitaires entre associés justifiés par la défense de l'intérêt social ou l'existence de différences de situations. D'autre part, le législateur a progressivement introduit dans le droit des sociétés de nombreux mécanismes ayant une fonction inégalitaire. Il en était ainsi des anciennes catégories d'actions, en l'occurrence les actions de priorité, celles à dividende prioritaire sans droit de vote, des certificats d'investissement ou de vote. Il en est de même des actions de préférence et des avantages particuliers. Tous ces dispositifs ont pour vocation de rompre l'égalité entre associés, en procurant à certains, des privilèges non partagés par les autres. Pourtant, la loi permet, ou permettait, largement leur instauration. Au regard de ces observations, il était devenu légitime de s'interroger sur l'existence d'un droit de discriminer entre les associés.L'ambition de cette étude est de démontrer que l'inégalité entre associés bénéficie d'une validité générale dans les sociétés. En clair, construire une définition, déterminer ses fondements juridiques, les possibilités et les limites ainsi que la procédure de sa création et de sa disparition, tels sont les éléments qui devaient être apportés à la réflexion juridique afin de permettre aux praticiens d'aborder la discrimination entre associés avec plus de sérénité. / Initially, corporate law was dominated by a general principle of equality. Consequently, discrimination between partners was admitted only exceptionally. This situation, however, evolved under the combined effect of two phenomena. On the one hand, doctrine and jurisprudence have long admitted that equality between partners has only a relative scope. This one must be assessed "in concreto" and does not oppose unequal treatment between partners justified by the defense of the social interest or the existence of differences of situations. On the other hand, the legislator has gradually introduced into the law of companies many mechanisms having an inegalitarian function. This was the case with the old share classes, namely the priority shares, those with priority dividend without voting rights, investment certificates or voting certificates. The same is true of preferred stocks and special advantages. All these devices have the vocation of breaking the equality between partners, by providing to some of them, privileges not shared by others. However, the law largely allows, or allowed their institutionalization. In view of these observations, it became legitimate to question the existence of a right to discriminate between partners.Therefore, the ambition of this study is to demonstrate that inequality between partners enjoys general validity in companies. Clearly to construct a definition, to determine its legal foundations, the possibilities and limits, and the procedure for its creation and its disappearance, these were the elements that needed to be reflected in law in order to allow practitioners to approach discrimination between partners with more serenity.

Cette thèse entend contribuer à l’étude des carrières des associés des firmes professionnelles en s’intéressant en particulier au processus de construction de l’identité d’associé. En nous appuyant sur le concept interactionniste de carrière nous analysons le « devenir associé » dans le contexte des grands cabinets d’audit internationaux (les Big 4). Ce devenir est un processus qui débute quasiment dès le recrutement et qui relève de mécanismes informels et tacites et de manœuvres politiques. Nous caractérisons ces mécanismes par la notion « d’écurie » qui permet à la fois de comprendre le fonctionnement des procédures de cooptation dans sa dimension non-officielle, mais également la hiérarchisation de la partnershipet le déroulement des carrières en son sein, une fois le stade de l’association passé. La conclusion à laquelle nous parvenons est que l’auditeur devient associé bien avant sa cooptation, en se reconnaissant lui-même comme un professionnel. Ce turning point n’est cependant que le premier sur le chemin qui mène à la partnership car c’est seulement au moment où il rejoint cette dernière que l’auditeur devient l’associé qu’il était, en se faisant reconnaître comme tel par ses pairs, achevant ainsi sa conversion identitaire d’auditeur en associé. Par notre travail, nous nous inscrivons dans la lignée des études en sociologie des professions et en théorie des organisations qui ont exploré le champ de la socialisation des professionnels de l’audit et de la construction de leur identité ainsi que le fonctionnement des grands cabinets internationaux / This PhD studies the process of becoming a partner in professional services firms, envisaged through the lens of the building of the partner identity. To this end, it implements the concept of « career » developed by interactionist sociology to analyse the making of a partner in the context of the Big 4 international audit firms. Becoming a partner is a process that starts right after recruitment and which is governed by complex and largely informal mechanisms and political manoeuvring. We characterize these mechanisms with the help of the notion of “stable”, whose purpose is to understand procedures of co-option in their unofficial dimension but also to account for the structuration of the partner level in firms and the role played by hierarchies within this level in post-partner career progression. We come to the conclusion that auditors actually become partners much earlier than their official promotion to the rank, from the moment they consider themselves as such. This awakening is yet only the first turning point on the road to partnership. It is only when they are officially co-opted that auditors become the partners they were, by being recognised as such by their peers, completing therefore their identity conversion.This work contributes to the literature in the sociology of professions and organizational theory fields by investigating how professionals are socialized and how their identity is constructed and by grasping more accurately the organization of professional services firms
