Aidentificação das causas de um problema facilita na implementação de melhorias. Este artigo mostra a aplicação da primeira ferramenta do Processo de Raciocínio, a Árvore da Realidade Atual (ARA), da Teoria das Restrições (TOC). Através de um estudo de caso, no setor de contratos econvênios de uma Fundação de Apoio, foi possível utilizar a ARA nos processos para identificar as causas dos problemas e, assim responder a pergunta “o que mudar?”. Ao final, comprovou-se a efetividade da aplicação da ferramenta, gerando oportunidades de melhoria para resolução das causas encontradas.

This paper discusses the peasantry s trajectory as a popular expression in a synthetic way and from the struggle of this context for the usufruct of the land as a space for socio - cultural and economic reproduction, until reaching the legal framework that instituted the category‘Family Farming’.It suggests an analysis of how the organizations of the peasantry managed to evolve in their concept of socio-productive organization and in the understanding of their socio political role, demanding more participative and democratic management models. Finally, it explains the reasons why Cooperative societies of Family Farming require a horizontal and comprehensive management model for the community involvement of the category, proposing the method of participative and shared management with the families of the titular members as a qualification strategy Decision-making processes in these organizations.

In this paper concerned with the non-steady flow of a conducting Bingham plastic in an annulus under time varying toroidal pressure gradient. It has been assumed that a constant radial magnetic field is acting on the fluid and no applied or polarization voltage exist, i.e. no energy is being added or extracted by electrical means. It has been observed that the toroidal component of the velocity in Bingham fluid is grater then that of viscous fluid and it increases as the value of non-dimensional Bingham number increases. The present paper aims at extending the investigations of reference Singh [9] & Attia & Ahmed [10] to Bingham plastics. We have, however, considered a non-porous channel which is appropriate for fluid under discussion.

As diferenças nas maneiras de perceber, pensar, sentir e agir dos indivíduos podem contribuir tanto para a criatividade quanto para aumentar o conflito. As diferenças não devem ser temidas, mas sim administradas com o objetivo de criar um ambiente em que elas sejam resolvidas de forma integrada e integradora, de modo a satisfazer as necessidades e expectativas das partes interessadas. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir o manejo eficaz das diferenças que podem ter um impacto significativo não só para a produtividade, mas para a melhoria da qualidade de vida nas organizações. Entretanto, não há uma solução pronta que seja aceitável para todos. Quando um grupo busca ser inovador na solução de problemas, a diversidade pode ser um grande recurso ou um grave risco.Ocultar, suprimir ou contemporizar oconflito com medidas burocráticas torna muito grande a probabilidade de o desacordo continuar ou sedeteriorar numa luta interminável, prevalecendo a hostilidade e a desconfiança.

Has as scope to present the study about the play spontaneously of the child in their training process from the perspective of the child itself, while one of the categories of analyzes of the thesis entitled "The child in the Amazon frontier: the live in knife edge and the imaginary of childhood", defended in the Postgraduate Program Society and Culture in the Amazon at the Federal University of Amazonas. The theoretical-methodological framework is based primarily on the contribution of authors like Benjamin (1984), Bourdieu (1987), Brougère (2008), Bachelard (1998), Corsaro (2011), Meleau-Ponty (1999) and Meira (2003). As methodological procedures were used the techniques of focus group and the drawing produced by the children to interpret the perceptions of the same on the play in the Santa Rosa in Tabatinga/Brazil at the border, with the city of Letíticia/Colombia - Amazon. The results show that the play of the child is for it to his condition of being a child in this Amazon frontier, translates the ontogeny of their hominization, i.e., it is by playing that it assimilates the concepts of becomes a human being, culture and produces crops in society, becoming subject of social action through the games, the game and the toy.

This article was prepared from the qualifying project to master in order with Production Engineering to present a field of study, description related to the release process of gratuitousness in public transportation in Manaus city for people with disabilities and chronic diseases, mediated the Organic Law of the Municipality of Manaus - LOMAN - and by Municipal Decree No. 1128 of July 29, 2011, which regulates the release of free criteria.It was observed that although the benefit of gratuitousness in public transportation has been deployed by the municipal government in an attempt to

vertical subsurface-flowwetland (SSFW)in filteringpotential toxic metal (PTM)of contaminated water.SSFWconsisted of a tank with Pistia stratiotes coupled to a planted filter with Alocasiamachorrizacultivatedinchemically modified clayey soil. For assessing the SSFWwater filtering capacity,we carried out three batches of metalcontaminated water collectedfrom a stream called “Igarapé do Quarenta” (IG40). To validate the filtering capacity, the pH, conductivity and PTM concentration in five water samples collected in intervals of 24 hours, were analyzed. Our findings showed a reduction in PTMconcentrations mainly Co and Pb. In addition, Pistia stratiotesproved to be betterremoving PTM than planted filter, absorbing high concentrations of Pb and Fe in their roots and leaves. However, AlocasiamachorrizaabsorbsNi and Pb in their leaves, Co, Ni in their stems and Pb, Ni and Co in their roots.

Social clashes are a constant menace to public order because riotous activities often jeopardize the very structure of society. Behind every social clash, a variety of factors, such as emotional currents, hopes and frustrations, vested interests, political, social, religious and economic issues, are often involved. A clash may occur in any area, urban or rural. Every social clash has its own peculiar features and these vary according to the characteristics of that particular area. While some of the violent clashes are spontaneous, some others develop gradually or develop over a period of time.

The paper aims to investigate the interest in mathematics among high school students. The sample of the study comprises of 580 high school students in Salem district who were randomly selected for the present study. Survey method is adopted for the present study. Data analysis revealed that the selected independent variable gender, type of institution and kind of institution influenced the mathematical interest among high school students. Other elected variables does not influenced in this study.
