Modelo de análise do potencial de promoção de centralidade com base em uso do solo, rede de transportes e configuração

Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Tecnologia, Departamento de Engenharia Civil e Ambiental, 2018.A pesquisa procura compreender a articulação entre uso do solo, rede de transportes e configuração (forma urbana) na formação das centralidades urbanas. O objetivo é desenvolver um estudo para verificação do potencial de promoção de novas centralidades em zonas servidas por estações de transporte de massa. A partir da investigação do espaço urbano como um sistema, formado pela interação de fenômenos que se processam nas escalas local e global, as concentrações responsáveis pela estrutura urbana foram investigadas dentro dos conceitos propostos em estudos de natureza econômica, comportamento de viagens e ambiente construído, e de análise configuracional com base nas ferramentas da Sintaxe Espacial. A metodologia aplicada permitiu calcular matematicamente, por meio das regularidades manifestadas na associação de variáveis representativas das três dimensões propostas pela pesquisa, o potencial de geração de viagens de uma determinada zona a fim de identificar áreas no tecido urbano com possibilidade de intensificação de usos e desenvolvimento de novos núcleos de atividades.The research seeks to understand the articulation between land use, transport network and configuration (urban form) in the growth of urban centralities. The main goal is to develop a study to verify the potential of promoting new centralities in areas served by transit stations. From the investigation of the urban space as a system, shaped by global and local phenomena, the concentrations responsible for the urban structure were investigated within the concepts proposed in the studies of economic nature, travel behavior and built environment, and of configurational analysis based on the tools of Space Syntax. The applied methodology allowed to calculate mathematically, through the regularities manifested by the association of variables representative of the three dimensions proposed by the research, the potential of trip generation in a determined zone in order to identify the areas in the urban fabric with the possibility of intensification of uses and development of new activities

O INSTITUTO DA LEGÍTIMA DEFESA INTERNACIONAL

The White House legal approach to the War on Terror has been one of the most discussed and least understood topics of international law according to legal counselors of the American government themselves. Despite several speeches and official notes on the subject, the issue remains complex because it involves constitutional rights, human rights and national security. This paper analyzes the War on Terror focusing specifically on the self-defense institute in the world risk society. This means that in order to understand how terrorism is threatening the international order, it is necessary to verify the conceptual changes that determine the self-defense institute and the results of this mutation.A abordagem legal da Casa Branca na Guerra ao Terror tem sido muito discutida mas pouco compreendida, de acordo com os próprios assessores jurídicos do governo americano. Apesar de vários discursos proferidos e notas oficiais sobre o assunto, o tema permanece complexo porque envolve garantias constitucionais, direitos humanos e segurança nacional. Este trabalho analisa a Guerra ao Terror, focando especificamente no instituto da legítima defesa na sociedade mundial de risco. Isto significa que para compreender como o terrorismo vem ameaçando a própria ordem internacional, é necessário verificar as mudanças conceituais que delimitam a legítima defesa e quais os resultados dessa mutação

Conservadorismo contábil e os efeitos da pandemia nos indicadores de desempenho no setor de TI

Based on the importance of the information technology sector for the technological evolution and adaptation of companies during the pandemic, this study aims to analyze the impact of the pandemic on the market-to-book index and on traditional accounting performance indicators, represented by the net margin, return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA), in information technology companies in Brazil. The research is classified as quantitative in terms of approach, descriptive in terms of objectives and documental in terms of methodological procedures. The sample consists of four companies in the information technology sector in Brazil, with shares traded on the Stock Exchange (B3). The data for the net margin, ROE and ROA indicators were obtained through the analysis of the financial statements of the companies in the sample, in the period from 2018 to 2021, while the market-to-book index was obtained through calculations, observing the number of shares, shareholders' equity and unit value of shares, found on B3 and in Status Invest's (2023) quote history. Data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney test to compare two studied samples, the first consisting of the indicators obtained in the years 2018 and 2019 (pre-pandemic), and the second by the indicators obtained in the years 2020 and 2021 (pandemic). The statistical programs Statistical Package for Social Science for Windows (SPSS) and JAMOVI were used to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that there was a significant variation in the net margin indicator, while for the market-to-book, ROA and ROE indices, it was not possible to identify large variations. It is concluded, therefore, that accounting conservatism did not cause significant changes in performance indicators in relation to the analyzed periods.Partiendo de la importancia del sector de las tecnologías de la información para la evolución tecnológica y adaptación de las empresas durante la pandemia, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de la pandemia en el índice market-to-book y en los indicadores de desempeño contable tradicional, representados por el neto margen, retorno sobre capital (ROE) y retorno sobre activos (ROA), en empresas de tecnología de la información en Brasil. La investigación se clasifica en cuantitativa en cuanto al enfoque, descriptiva en cuanto a los objetivos y documental en cuanto a los procedimientos metodológicos. La muestra está compuesta por cuatro empresas del sector de tecnología de la información en Brasil, con acciones negociadas en la Bolsa de Valores (B3). Los datos de los indicadores de margen neto, ROE y ROA se obtuvieron analizando los estados financieros de las empresas de la muestra, de 2018 a 2021, mientras que el índice market to book se obtuvo a través de cálculos, observando el número de acciones, el valor patrimonial y unitario de las acciones, que se encuentra en B3 y en el historial de cotizaciones de Status Invest (2023). El análisis de datos se realizó mediante la prueba de Mann-Whitney para comparar dos muestras estudiadas, la primera conformada por los indicadores obtenidos en los años 2018 y 2019 (prepandemia), y la segunda por los indicadores obtenidos en los años 2020 y 2021 (pandemia). Para la prueba de hipótesis se utilizaron los programas estadísticos Statistical Package for Social Science for Windows (SPSS) y JAMOVI. Los resultados indican que hubo una variación significativa en el indicador de margen neto, mientras que para los índices market-to-book, ROA y ROE no fue posible identificar grandes variaciones. Se concluye, por tanto, que el conservadurismo contable no provocó cambios significativos en los indicadores de desempeño en relación a los períodos analizados.A partir da importância do setor de tecnologia da informação para a evolução tecnológica e a adaptação das empresas durante a pandemia, esse estudo tem por objetivo analisar o impacto da pandemia no índice market-to-book e nos indicadores contábeis tradicionais de desempenho, representados pela margem líquida, retorno sobre o patrimônio líquido (ROE) e o retorno sobre os ativos (ROA), nas empresas de tecnologia da informação no Brasil. A pesquisa se classifica como quantitativa quanto a abordagem, descritiva quanto aos objetivos e documental quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos. A amostra é composta por quatro empresas do setor de tecnologia da informação no Brasil, com papéis negociados na Bolsa de Valores (B3). Os dados dos indicadores margem líquida, ROE e ROA foram obtidos por meio da análise das demonstrações contábeis das empresas da amostra, no período de 2018 a 2021, enquanto o índice market-to-book foi obtido através de cálculos, observando a quantidade de ações, o patrimônio líquido e o valor unitário das ações, encontrados na B3 e no histórico de cotações do Status Invest (2023). A análise dos dados foi feita com a utilização do teste de Mann-Whitney para comparação de duas amostras estudadas, sendo a primeira formada pelos indicadores obtidos nos anos de 2018 e 2019 (pré-pandemia), e a segunda pelos indicadores obtidos nos anos de 2020 e 2021 (pandemia). Os programas estatísticos Statistical Package for Social Science for Windows (SPSS) e JAMOVI foram usados para testar as hipóteses. Os resultados indicam que houve variação significativa no indicador de margem líquida, enquanto os índices market-to-book, ROA e ROE não foi possível identificar grandes variações. Conclui-se, portanto, que o conservadorismo contábil não provocou alterações significativas nos indicadores de desempenho em relação aos períodos analisados
