Este artigo analisa o processo de redemocratização do Brasil através das Constituições de 1946 e 1988, abordando tanto o perfi l histórico dos trabalhos dos constituintes quanto a análise dogmática de alguns aspectos relevantes de cada Constituição. A importância do trabalho reside no fato de que estas duas Constituições representaram uma ruptura com regimes autoritários, e o estudo dos limites e das possibilidades das Assembléias Constituintes em cada momento histórico pode ser um importante fator para uma melhor compreensão da importância de um trabalho sistemático de afi rmação das normas constitucionais.
This book presents an ethnographic study of social media in Mardin, a medium-sized town located in the Kurdish region of Turkey. The town is inhabited mainly by Sunni Muslim Arabs and Kurds, and has been transformed in recent years by urbanisation, neoliberalism and political events. Elisabetta Costa uses her 15 months of ethnographic research to explain why public-facing social media is more conservative than offline life. Yet, at the same time, social media has opened up unprecedented possibilities for private communications between genders and in relationships among young people – Costa reveals new worlds of intimacy, love and romance. She also discovers that, when viewed from the perspective of people's everyday lives, political participation on social media looks very different to how it is portrayed in studies of political postings separated from their original complex, and highly socialised, context.
<p>Este artigo objetivou analisar as barreiras do acesso à saúde no Brasil. A metodologia perpassou pela análise de referenciais teóricos interdisciplinares com utilização dos métodos qualitativo e quantitativo a respeito desta temática. Os resultados evidenciaram que a globalização econômica e o biopoder têm se sobreposto a fatores: jurídico, político e social contribuindo para a fragilização dos direitos humanos e a judicialização política e social. A conclusão foi de que as práticas formativas, intermediadas pelo Poder Judiciário, podem configurar como instrumento eficaz à participação democrática na elaboração, fiscalização, execução e planejamento das políticas públicas brasileiras, especialmente no âmbito da saúde.</p>
Abstract The present study attempts to understand the use of three information processing mechanisms – cognitive, affective, and normative – to assess the quality of cashmere products made in Mongolia. For attaining the above aims, semi-structured interviews were conducted to test a framework that resulted from literature reviewed on country of origin (COO) effect and information processing mechanisms. Results demonstrate that for Business-to-Business (B2B) clients, the COO is an extremely relevant cue to evaluate the quality of cashmere. Conversely, most of the consumers do not seem to include the COO effect on their information processing and base their evaluation on four distinct product-related attributes: quality, brand, social status, and price. Results are relevant for the Mongolian cashmere industry, as well as for marketers interested in understanding what drives consumers of cashmere in their buying decisions. We also understand these findings to assist in improving the image of Mongolia as one of the world's best manufacturers of cashmere.
The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) is the United Nations tobacco control treaty, fostering public health in previously neglected areas. 179 countries as well as the European Union are WHO FCTC Parties, and it comprises both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations are active observers. It is a powerful alliance for a serious problem – the huge global epidemic caused by tobacco. ; The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) is the United Nations tobacco control treaty, fostering public health in previously neglected areas. 179 countries as well as the European Union are WHO FCTC Parties, and it comprises both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Purpose and hypothesis Cultural ethos and preferences varies a lot not only among continents but also among countries. This brings us to the concept of "national culture" (Hofstede, 1980, 1983, 1984). National culture has to do with differences among national cultural background of individuals in their societal or business environment. The concept has also to do with the way those manifested differences may influence business decisions at the international level. National culture can be interpreted as "a common frame of reference or logic by which members of a society view organizations, the environment, and their relations to one another." (Geletkanycz 1997, p. 617). According to most authors of cultural studies, these differences emerges from several factors such as ethnical differences, ethical differences, geographical differences, moral differences, historical differences, political differences, linguistic differences and religious differences. (Matondo, JPM, 2012). In business environment, during communication between persons of different national cultural backgrounds, such differences can play an important role which may manifest into certain degree of friction, discomfort and inability to appreciate "these differences and different ways of thinking of persons of foreign cultures" (Shenkar and Zeira, 1992, p. 55-75), potentially affecting the performance of the project teams (Shenkar, 2001, p. 519). This phenomenon leads us to the concept of "level of comfort with foreign cultures". Prime purpose of this study is to investigate the possible differences in "level of comfort" among people coming from different national backgrounds in multinational workplaces in terms of national cultural preferences of individual employees. In other words this paper studies the differences in "level of comfort" among different cultural pairs working together at multinational enterprises in India or abroad. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/draft
