Resenha do livro Frantz Fanon e as encruzilhadas: teoria, política e subjetividade, de Deivison Faustino.

AbstractIn these days of ever increasing competitiveness and constantly evolving markets, the way a company leverages and measures its Intellectual Capital is crucial to its success and indeed to its survival. For investors, intangible assets represent indicators of the future performance, potentialities and, at the same time, weaknesses of a firm's business model. Although several methods for Intellectual Capital measurement and management exist, most of these methods are not able to identify and quantify the cause–effect link between Intellectual Capital management and business performance improvement. Following this lead, the paper suggests a methodology to overcome the lacks of the existing methods.A linear programming model (Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)) and the choice of inputs and outputs, properly correlated to components of the Intellectual Capital, allow us to determine the relative efficiency of an enterprise in comparison to other enterprises operating in the same business sector. Moreover, the optimal value of efficiency, that highlights a Best Practice, indicates, in term of percentage, the quantity of productive factors that an enterprise should use to become efficient. This approach offers the advantage of allowing us to make a direct comparison between firms of the same industry in the perspective of improvement through benchmarking.The paper concludes with the application of the DEA model to the evaluation of the productivity of intangible assets, trying to establish if the investments in Intellectual Capital have indeed achieved an increase in business performance significant enough to justify the sustained financial expenditure. The results show that enterprises that invest more in intangible assets are not automatically the ones that get better business performance, but there is a cause–effect relation only when an enterprise manages its intangible assets optimally.

Objective: Recognizing the state of art regarding care for the skin of newborns. Method: It is an
integrative literature review. The search for studies was performed in the Medline, Lilacs and BDENF
databases, and 18 studies published between 2009 and 2013 were selected. Results: It indicated a variety
of orientations, which may be used by health professionals in the care for the skin of newborns. The most
frequently addressed topics were: causes for lesions, nursing care in the prevention of lesions, appropriate
handling of the newborn infant, assessment of the skin, prevention of transepidermal water loss, body
temperature regulation, use of emollients and antiseptics, bath, dressings, fixation of devices, prevention
of pressure ulcers, care measures toward punctures and treatment of lesions. Conclusion: The study
allowed updating the subject, enabling a humanized, individualized and qualified care that ensures the
safety of the neonatal patient.

O objetivo deste estudo é levantar a produção intelectual da área da Educação relacionada ao Programa OBMEP na Escola e o desenvolvimento profissional docente em presente na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) e nos anais das reuniões nacionais da Anped no período de 2015 a 2021. É um levantamento bibliográfico inicial com abordagem qualitativa. Das 199 publicações extraídas da Anped, nenhuma delas tem como descritor o Programa OBMEP na Escola. Na BDTD encontramos uma dissertação. Os resultados indicam ausência e necessidade da promoção de estudos relacionados ao desenvolvimento profissional dos professores de Matemática e o Programa OBMEP na Escola.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) present an opportunity for companies to address the world's biggest sustainable development challenges. In doing so, SDGs require companies to integrate sustainability into their strategic decisions, making stakeholders aware about the corporate contribution to SDGs. To this aim, according to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, corporate sustainability reporting is a powerful tool to explain if SDGs really matter to the private sector and in what ways companies effectively contribute to them. The paper analyses SDG reporting practices of a sample of companies of different sizes operating in the tourism sector. The aim of the analysis is to seize how companies identify relevant sustainability challenges and set SDGs priorities. Findings reveal that despite companies cite SDGs in their reports, they do not explain how significant sustainability initiatives shape the business contribution to SDGs. The study adds to the literature on corporate SDGs reporting by highlighting the need for a practical approach to guide companies towards transparency in sustainability reporting about their relevant contribution to the Agenda 2030.

Resumo Resultados escolares do ensino médio estão estagnados no Brasil. Em 2016, dados do Censo Escolar da Educação Básica mostravam que 21% dos professores do ensino médio brasileiro não possuíam formação superior compatível com nenhuma das disciplinas que lecionavam. Em que medida estes fenômenos se relacionam? É necessário que o professor tenha formação estritamente compatível com a disciplina lecionada para melhorar o resultado de alunos do ensino médio? Com base em um painel construído com o Censo Escolar da Educação Básica para os anos de 2007 a 2016, estima-se o impacto da proporção de docências sem formação superior compatível com as disciplinas lecionadas sobre resultados escolares. O principal resultado indica uma relação positiva e significativa com as taxas de abandono e de distorção idade-série. Problemas sistemáticos como abandono e atraso escolar no ensino médio parecem acentuar-se quando professores ministram disciplinas com as quais não possuem formação compatível.

Este estudo teve por objetivo levantar a produção intelectual da área da educação relacionada ao currículo do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática e formação de professores nos artigos publicados nos anais das reuniões da Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação (Anped) de 2005 a 2015 nos Grupos de Trabalho: Formação de Professores, Currículo e Educação Matemática. Utilizou-se a metodologia de análise documental e determinou-se três descritores: formação de professores; matemática; e currículo. De um total de 608 trabalhos publicados, 83 foram desconsiderados por não terem os resumos disponíveis on line no ano de 2005, restando 525 artigos que desses, apenas 11 encontrou-se os três descritores. Os resultados indicam que os trabalhos envolvendo os três descritores ocupam pouco espaço nas produções encontradas na Anped Nacional. Esse fato aponta para uma possível lacuna na exploração do currículo do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática e formação de professores.

Is corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment effectively disclosed through a company's sustainably report? Moreover, in what measure is a company's CSR commitment really acknowledged by its stakeholders? Because it has been observed that stakeholders' recognition of a company's social and environmental conduct highly impacts the business returns of CSR initiatives, it is therefore not surprising that measurement of the stakeholder perception is a key issue for CSR assessment.In this paper, we propose a method enabling companies to evaluate the effectiveness of their CSR policies both in terms of disclosure and capacity to fulfill both stakeholder social and environmental expectations. The method we propose compares, through a gap analysis, three measures as follows: the company commitment disclosed through its sustainability report, the company CSR commitment perceived by its stakeholders, and the CSR commitment that stakeholders require to the company. The outcome of the proposed methodology provides managerial insights for evaluating the effectiveness of ongoing CSR practices and for formulating CSR strategies. An application illustrates the use of the methodology in practice. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
