O hipotireoidismo congênito é um distúrbio endócrino caracterizado pela diminuição dos níveis séricos dos hormônio da glândula tireóide. Este afeta o metabolismo do cálcio, e, portanto, a formação dos ossos e dentes. É comum nestes pacientes anomalias de formação dentária, atraso na erupção dentária, hipodesenvolvimento do côndilo mandibular e macroglossia. Somados, estes fatores podem ainda levar a uma má-oclusão e ao desenvolvimento inadequado das funções orais. Diante do exposto, Avaliou-se através deste estudo as condições clínicas orais e promoveu-se o atendimento odontológico dos pacientes com esta disfunção endócrina vinculados ao serviço de triagem neonatal do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Trata-se de um projeto de extensão em que foram atendidos 205 pacientes com idade entre 01 mês e 14 anos, no período de fevereiro à novembro de 2016, os quais passaram por uma avaliação clínica e receberam orientações preventivas. A partir do exame clínico, observou-se que 20% dos pacientes apresentavam alguma necessidade de tratamento odontológico, sendo esses, agendados e encaminhados para a realização do procedimento clínico odontológico. Com os dados obtidos foi possível concluir que é essencial dar aos responsáveis e pacientes as informações necessárias para a prevenção de doenças bucais, estando elas correlacionadas ou não com o Hipotireoidismo Congênito. Além disto, a realização de tratamento clínico, preventivo e curativo nesses pacientes, agregou a Odontologia ao plano multiprofissional já existente representado pelo programa de triagem neonatal do HU – UFS.
What Factors Influence General Practice Specialist Trainees’ Engagement with their E-portfolio?
Authors: Rouse Jonathan , Green Christopher
Published: August 2018

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background:E-portfolio is the primary strategy for the development and assessment of general practice trainees. Literature indicates that trainees often resist engaging fully, undermining its validity in assessing trainee competence and performance. Aim:To identify and explore conditions influencing engagement with e-portfolio within a local training programme. Design:A constructivist grounded theory design was used to conceptualise the factors that influence trainee engagement. Method: Twelve semi-structured trainee interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and coded. Aided by Nvivo Pro version 11, initial codes were developed, revised and raised to focused codes. Through constant comparison, diagramming and memo-writing, theoretical categories were generated. Results:Data analysis conceptualised a theory of engagement incorporating three conceptual categories: "Conceptualising the e-portfolio", "Developing and maintaining trust" in e-portfolio and its processes and "Deciding upon investment worth". Decisions to invest personal resources in e-portfolio engagement depended upon trainees' appraisal of its personal worth and value. Conclusions:E-portfolio valuation was contingent upon trainees' conceptualisation of its purpose, and the trustworthiness of the learning and assessment processes prescribed by its structure. This has implications for trainees, supervisors, and training programmes related to implementation and ownership of e-portfolio, and the credibility and transparency of its role in the assessment of professional performance.

Lessons Learned

RAS- or BRAF-mutated metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRCs) progressing after first-line treatment have a poor prognosis. European and U.S. guidelines include the multikinase inhibitor regorafenib as a standard option for second-line therapy and beyond, based on the results of the randomized phase III CORRECT trial demonstrating improvement in survival. Although stopped prematurely for failing to accrue, the PREVIUM trial, the first prospective interventional study exploring regorafenib as second-line treatment for patients with mCRC bearing RAS or BRAF mutations, failed to demonstrate clinical activity in the population analyzed.

Background

Patients with RAS- or BRAF-mutated (mut) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) progressing on first-line bevacizumab plus 5-FU/irinotecan/oxaliplatin (FOLFOXIRI) have a poor prognosis. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in this population.

Methods

Regorafenib was administered daily for 3 weeks of each 4-week cycle until disease progression or other reason. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival (PFS).

Results

KRAS, NRAS, or BRAF was mutated in mCRC samples in 60%, 20%, and 13% of patients, respectively. Median time from initial diagnosis of metastases to the start of regorafenib and treatment duration was 13.8 months and 7 weeks, respectively. Reasons for discontinuation included disease progression (80%), investigator decision (13%), and adverse events (AEs; 7%). Seven patients (47%) required dose reduction, mostly for asthenia (43%). The most common regorafenib-related grade 3 AEs were asthenia (33%), dysphonia (13%), and hypertension (13%) (Table 1). There were no grade 4 toxicities. No patient was progression-free at 6 months. Median PFS, time to progression (TTP), and overall survival (OS) were 2.2, 2.0, and 3.3 months, respectively.

Conclusion

Although stopped prematurely for failing to accrue, in the population analyzed, regorafenib failed to demonstrate clinical activity in KRAS- or BRAF-mutated mCRC with progression following first-line with FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab, although tolerability was acceptable. Our trial suggests that exploring regorafenib efficacy in an earlier line of therapy should not be undertaken without better population refinement.
A biomediated deterioration mitigation method for cement-treated soil
Authors: Hata Toshiro , Suetsugu Daisuke , Kasama Kiyonobu
Published: August 2018

Cement-treated soil is widely used in many countries and is sometimes applied in estuary and coastal region civil infrastructures such as embankments and port facilities. In some of these facilities, leachates and deterioration of strength have been detected after 20 years of service and therefore require maintenance work such as chemical injection and reconstruction. The reasons for these failures could be the elution of calcium ions from calcium chloride (CaCl2) in cement-treated soil. The main objective of the present research project was to propose biobased deterioration mitigation techniques that can independently recrystallise calcium ion eluates to calcite in cement-treated soil and thereby maintain operational conditions and long-term use of infrastructures. The mechanisms of calcite recrystallisation focused on microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) under high pH conditions (pH ≈ 9·0), which was confirmed in laboratory tests. The main outcome of this research is that application of the MICP process to cement-treated soil can maintain operational conditions and can mitigate deterioration by simple addition of chemicals during the mixing phase.
Racial Disparities in Nephrology Consultation and Disease Progression among Veterans with CKD: An Observational Cohort Study
Authors: Suarez Jonathan , Cohen Jordana B. , Potluri Vishnu , Yang Wei , Kaplan David E. , Serper Marina , Shah Siddharth P. , Reese Peter Philip
Published: August 2018

Background

Incident rates of ESRD are much higher among black and Hispanic patients than white patients. Access to nephrology care before progression to ESRD is associated with better clinical outcomes among patients with CKD. However, it is unknown whether black or Hispanic patients with CKD experience lower pre-ESRD nephrology consultation rates compared with their white counterparts, or whether such a disparity contributes to worse outcomes among minorities.

Methods

We assembled a retrospective cohort of patients with CKD who received care through the Veterans Health Administration from 2003 to 2015, focusing on individuals with incident CKD stage 4 who had an initial eGFR≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 followed by two consecutive eGFRs<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2. We repeated analyses among individuals with incident CKD stage 3. Outcomes included nephrology provider referral, nephrology provider visit, progression to CKD stage 5, and mortality.

Results

We identified 56,767 veterans with CKD stage 4 and 640,704 with CKD stage 3. In both cohorts, rates of nephrology referral and visits were significantly higher among black and Hispanic veterans than among non-Hispanic white veterans. Despite this, both black and Hispanic patients experienced faster progression to CKD stage 5 compared with white patients. Black patients with CKD stage 4 experienced slightly lower mortality than white patients, whereas black patients with CKD stage 3 had a small increased risk of death.

Conclusions

Black or Hispanic veterans with CKD are more likely than white patients to see a nephrologist, yet are also more likely to suffer disease progression. Biologic and environmental factors may play a bigger role than nephrology consultation in driving racial disparities in CKD progression.

Regionális munkaerőpiaci problémák – a külföldi munkavállalás súlyosbítja-e az északkeleti régiók helyzetét Magyarországon?
Authors: Csugány Julianna , Kozák Anita
Published: August 2018

Az elmúlt években a kedvezőnek ítélhető magyar munkaerőpiaci tendenciákkal párhuzamosan megnőtt a külföldön munkát vállalók száma. A munkaerő-mobilitás intenzitása magyarázható az alacsony hazai bérszinttel, de általánosságban megfogalmazható, hogy a magyar munkaerőpiacon hiányzik a munkakereslet és munkakínálat összhangja, mely a munkaerőhiány és a munkanélküliség együttes jelenlétét idézi elő, különösen a kevésbé fejlett régiókban. Hazánkban a munkaerőpiaci indikátorokban is kirajzolódnak regionális különbségek, a gazdaságilag fejletlenebb térségekből intenzívebb az elvándorlás és súlyosabbak a munkaerőpiaci problémák is. Az ország két legkevésbé fejlett régiója, Észak-Magyarország és Észak-Alföld továbbra is küzd a munkanélküliséggel, gondot jelent az alacsony gazdasági aktivitás és a foglalkoztatás átlagosnál alacsonyabb szintje. Ezzel párhuzamosan egyre súlyosbodó problémaként jelentkezik a munkaerőhiány, mely egyrészt a munkáltatók által elvárt és a munkavállalók által kínált képzettség- és készségbeli eltérések, valamint a térségből való elvándorlás eredményeként alakult ki. Jelen tanulmányban áttekintést nyújtunk a magyar munkaerőpiac regionális differenciáltságáról, majd az északi és keleti térségekben tapasztalható egyre intenzívebb elvándorlást ösztönző gazdasági tényezők bemutatására helyezzük a hangsúlyt. 2017 végén empirikus vizsgálatot végeztünk, amelynek keretében a két legelmaradottabb hazai régió munkavállalóinak mobilitási hajlandóságát és annak motivációit mértük fel. A vizsgálat során arra kerestük a választ, hogy mennyire vonzó a külföldi munkavállalás a kevésbé fejlett területeken, s milyen összefüggések mutathatók ki a határon túli munkavégzési hajlandóság és a válaszadók szociodemográfiai jellemzői között.
Stakeholder approach in benchmark of corporate risk management
Authors: Makarova V. M.
Published: August 2018

Decision-making regarding cooperation with a particular company requires a sufficiently in-depth analysis of the attractiveness and prospects of such cooperation. Standard methods of analysis, such as analysis of economic activity, investment attractiveness and efficiency of investment projects, undoubtedly remain the main ones in the organization of interaction, but due to the fact that most companies deviate from the normative values of activity and still remain attractive enough for cooperation, the analysis of the efficiency of intrafirms corporate processes is becoming increasingly popular. The huge variety of risk management methods, along with the inability to obtain reliable information about the methods used within the firm, force stakeholders to pay attention to indirect signals of effectiveness evaluation. In the course of the research, it was suggested that stakeholders have their own judgment about the effectiveness of intracorporate management processes that are different from common valuation techniques and conducted their own research. Based on the survey data conducted with representatives of the top management of various sectors of the economy, a list of relevant criteria for the effectiveness of intra-corporate risk management was obtained. The use of statistical methods of analysis and methods of scientific knowledge allowed to develop a mathematical methodology for evaluating these criteria, and empirical data of 88 Russian companies in the non-financial sector were used as a basis for calculating control points for application in practice. The theoretical significance is the identification of points of control of the effectiveness of risk management from the perspective of stakeholders; practical relevance reflects the toolkit for comparing the company with the best practices.

Published: August 2018

Russian football currently finds itself in a challenging economic situation. In light of the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2018 all members of the Russian football industry will be under immense pressure. Russian professional football clubs have been struggling to keep with European club management standards. This article aims to evaluate the industry-specific features of organizational performance within the context of professional football clubs. The current performance measurement system within Russian football is based on 5 straightforward licensing criteria, which do not conform with international requirements. During the course of the study the author was able to identify the main factors, which may be used to form a new performance measurement system for Russian professional football clubs.The findings of this paper allow to formulate the main directions of future research in the field of organizational performance of football clubs. The most acclaimed methodologies of foreign researchers attempted to combine both sporting and non-sporting (financial, marketing, etc.) indicators. The main theoretical findings may be used to modernize the current licensing system within Russian professional football. This article attempted to systemize the body of literature on organizational performance of sports organizations and football clubs by both Russian and foreign scholars. The conclusions of this study help broaden the understanding that in the current economic realities the ability to win competitions may not be regarded as the sole purpose of professional football clubs. Football clubs must strive to simultaneously achieve success on and off the pitch.

Authors: Virabyan S. N.
Published: August 2018

With every year, the application of merges and acquisitions strategy becomes more and more topical for Russian companies. One of the most topical issues is carrying out the analysis of efficiency of M&A transactions that is also confirmed by increasing the number of works in the field of assessment of efficiency of M&A transactions of companies. In this article, the main methods of assessment of efficiency of M&A transactions, and also possibility of use of the DEA method in determining efficiency of transactions of the oil and gas companies are considered for example. The comparative analysis of application of traditional methods and the DEA method using example of an assessment of efficiency of acquisition of JSC Rosneft is carried out. Results of the analysis showed that it is necessary to carry out a complex assessment of productivity of the M&A transaction, using some methods and assessment approaches, since the DEA method not always works in a section of an assessment of efficiency before and after the transaction. So, according to the given calculations, the effect of acquisition in the first year after acquisition was positive (0,001%), but by 2014 became 0,9%. Profitability of assets as started decreasing, and two years later the total change became 5%. Thus profitability of the capital increased in the first year by 26% however in a year this value decreased. At the same time, this method is applicable for an express choice of the companies purposes from a large number of the companies. The sequence of steps is developed for DEA method application in an assessment of efficiency of carrying out transactions on merges and acquisitions, and also a technique of definition of DMU for an assessment of efficiency of one transaction within DEA method use that gives to research the high practical importance. Recommendations about express selection of the companies purposes for carrying out the transaction of M&A are made.

Learning-by-export effects in the russian software industry
Authors: Bozheva E. O.
Published: August 2018

Learning-by-export effects exist due to the nature of the creation, accumulation, transfer of knowledge, as well as the companies’ absorption capacity to accumulate and adapt the best experience, competences borrowed from abroadwithin the organization. The length and direction of exports have a significant impact on the innovation activities of organizations, while innovations do not always encourage the leaders to initiate export activities. In the course of empirical research, we have identified the following rules in relation to Russian IT-firms:1) New IT-exporters have no visible link between the introduction of new products, technologies and the start of exports. Investments in research and development, which may have been initiated after entering foreign markets or at the same time, have not yet yielded results. 2) Stable export activity encourages IT-companies to apply new technological, process and marketing innovations that were not previously part of the firm's plans, much more often than firms in the local market. 3) The impact of external knowledge effects on the productivity of IT-companies depends on the geographical direction of exports: a) the markets of the near abroad (CIS countries) and Russia itself;b) the markets of the far abroad. 4) Investments in R&D, marketing and production of new products are more typical for companies located in capitals (Moscow and Saint-Petersburg). On the contrary, the relationship between the presence of an international office and the introduction of innovations has not been proven. The size of companies has only affected the production of new technologies: if a company is a medium-sized enterprise or a larger one, the probability of innovation is increased by 22%. 5) The smaller the firm, the lower its desire to participate in extensive innovation networks, increase the number and diversity of external relations. The size of the company determines the level of influence of cooperation with other market participants on its internal innovation processThe article discusses the classification of knowledge spillover effects, the methodology of the study, the analysis of the economic impact of the process "flow" as a result of entering foreign markets. The paper’s emphasis is on assessment of recipients’ capabilities to accumulate new knowledge in the course of export activities, to extract advantages in terms of future development such as increasing innovation activity and, consequently, attractiveness, resulting in higher performance efficiency.

RESUMO: Este artigo pretende traçar o caminho dos Losers na história moderna e pós-moderna da América, elaborando sobre o poder do imaginário fundador da nação como elemento fundamental para o nascimento destes fracassados. Além disso, será analisada a construção dos losers na literatura de Raymond Carver, onde a grande maioria de seus personagens se identifica com esse grupo descentrado da nação americana. Através de um encontro interdisciplinar entre História e Literatura será proposta uma leitura de como os ideais de sucesso que pertencem ao imaginário da América, inevitavelmente, dão espaço para o nascimento dos Losers. Para trabalhar a questão da história, será utilizado os conceitos de micro-história e Nova História, e para trabalhar com os personagens de Carver, o conceito de Linda Hutcheon sobre os descentrados da pós-modernidade será utilizado. Palavras-chave: Raymond Carver.

RASTRO E MEMÓRIA EM ANGÚSTIA
Authors: Viana Lopes Larissa Cristina , Franco de Camargo Kátia Aily
Published: August 2018

O presente artigo busca analisar a evocação das lembranças de Luís da Silva, narrador de Angústia, de Graciliano Ramos. Em se tratando de um herói que narra fatos passados, o intento deste trabalho é averiguar como sua memória se reconstrói à proporção que repassa sua história, tentando compreender quais são os rastros, as marcas do passado que permanecem no presente do protagonista. Para isso, o artigo discute acerca do processo de reconstrução da memória com Halbwachs (2003), Bosi (2007) entre outros, e sobre as ideias de rastro de Walter Benjamin arrazoadas por Ginzburg (2012), Janz (2012) e Gabnebin (2012). À luz de tais discussões, entende-se que a narração faz, principalmente, da amada e desalmada Marina e da “cara balofa” de Julião Tavares lembranças que cultivam um hoje aflito para Luís da Silva. Este evoca um passado que ressignifica o presente, uma vez que determinadas recordações (re)aparecem compondo um novo sentido que alimenta sua vingança contra o rival rico. A vida na antiga vila e as decepções causadas pela antiga noiva aspirante ao luxo constituem lembranças num processo de rememoração que explicam fracasso, vingança e angústia, evidenciando ao leitor os rastros que fazem do protagonista um herói decepcionado, angustiado.

O presente artigo analisa a representação do cinema na literatura brasileira pré-modernista (contos, crônicas, romances e poesia), numa época em que o cinema estava apenas iniciando seu longo percurso no cenário cultural brasileiro. Trata-se, portanto, de uma abordagem, por meio da cultura e da história, do processo de modernização da cidade e da sociedade brasileiras.
LITERATURA NA PERSPECTIVA DE OLHARES COMPARATISTAS
Authors: Santos Silva Joseane Maia
Published: August 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo a descrição do campo teórico da literatura comparada, numa abordagem da natureza, do objeto e método que lhes caracterizam, levando em conta referenciais bibliográficos de autores estrangeiros, bem como de autores brasileiros. Para tanto, analisa-se termos como influência, dependência, sistema literário, situando-os, inclusive, no contexto latino-americano, incluindo o Brasil, a partir dos estudos de Antonio Candido, Angel Rama e Ana Pizarro que redimensionaram a relação cultura e literatura conferindo-lhe novos contornos ao extrapolar a dimensão estética da obra literária, razão porque esse campo do conhecimento abre amplas possibilidades para a pesquisa literária, numa perspectiva integradora, ao desvelar questões políticas e ideológicas que lhe são subjacentes.
“EFEITO DE REAL” VERSUS SOBRENATURAL: UM CONFLITO NECESSÁRIO À CONSTRUÇÃO DA FANTASTICIDADE EM ESFINGE, DE COELHO NETO
Authors: De Assis Emanoel Cesar Pires , Sousa Andressa Silva
Published: August 2018

A partir da noção de efeito de real, marca, segundo Roland Barthes (1971), essencial para os textos realistas, busca-se compreender como a narrativa Esfinge, do escritor caxiense Coelho Neto, utiliza estratégias de descrições do mundo extratextual para, aos poucos inserindo fatos sobrenaturais, construir o que pode se chamar de fantasticidade da obra. Assim, defendemos que a construção do fantástico na obra em análise está atrelada à forma como a narrativa utiliza as referências do mundo real e como elas, por se oporem aos fatos fantásticos da obra, impõem no leitor a solução de uma dúvida. A pesquisa segue os direcionamentos teóricos de Tzvetan Todorov (1975), Antonio Compagnon (2010), David Roas (2014) e Irlemar Chiampi (2015).

Authors: Dos Santos Jucenilton Alves
Published: August 2018

RESUMO: A presente pesquisa tem a finalidade de provocar e suscitar, em quem possa lê-la, a percepção indispensável e necessária para o entendimento do processo e da dinâmica poética/literária dentro das instituições escolares, especificamente na educação infantil. Dessa forma, torna-se relevante uma vez que o interesse pela educação infantil e, em particular, pelo gênero poesia, nos estimula a uma reflexão sobre o momento atual da prática desse gênero na escola de ensino fundamental de nosso país. A poesia vem desempenhando, ao longo da história, um importante papel no desenvolvimento das crianças no que se refere à aprendizagem da leitura e escrita e os processos cognitivos, contribuindo para a aquisição de hábitos e valores indispensáveis ao exercício pleno da oralidade. Sabe-se que a poesia pode ser uma grande contribuição para tornar a escola mais prazerosa e um ambiente mais alegre e favorável à aprendizagem. Portanto, o objetivo desse estudo de ordem bibliográfica é investigar as contribuições que o uso da poesia pode proporcionar no desenvolvimento das crianças na educação infantil e inserir as crianças no universo poético, familiarizando-as com a linguagem poética e com a forma gráfica dos textos poéticos.  PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Poesia. Ensino. Educação infantil. Educação Básica.

Este estudo tem por objetivo geral analisar a perspectiva de sustentabilidade dos servidores da Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia (UFRA) e compreender de que forma esta visão influência na efetivação da legislação das Compras Públicas Sustentáveis. Para isso foram realizadas entrevistas com servidores e gestores que demandam e realizam as compras na instituição. O estudo mostrou que poucos servidores possuem o conhecimento a respeito da temática, da legislação e de que forma é aplicada na instituição. Esta falta de conhecimento dificulta a efetivação de práticas sustentáveis na instituição como é o caso da legislação das Compras Públicas Sustentáveis. Desta forma foi proposto um conjunto de ações com o intuito de minimizar tais entraves o que permitirá que a Universidade cumpra com a lei e possa se tornar referência em práticas sustentáveis.

Woman Question, Identity and the Emergence of Feminism
Authors: Bashir Shah Saimah
Published: August 2018

Human existence is woven with the exegesis of ‘gender’. Being human corroborated with the fact of belonging to a particular gender determines the identity and substance of a human being. What follows is a power relationship between ‘being human’ and ‘being a particular gender’ with mostly one dominating the other. Defining is the ‘gender’ a social construct, not ‘human’ as natural. It is explicitly a tussle of power amid‘nature’ and ‘culture’ or what we call as ‘social’ that percolates down to all the levels of human existence.The result has been an ‘unequal equation’ within human relations either with nature or within themselves. As ‘Man’ and ‘Woman’ are the two unequal values allied with human beings; so are the definitions associated with both.What is a ‘man’ and a ‘woman’? And what it means to be a ‘man’ and a ‘woman’ under different settings and circumstances? The answers are not so intricate to find and perhaps lies in the question itself, what is it that induces us to ask such questions? When nature was appropriate to create human beings as males and females essential and complimentary to each other,who created ‘man and woman’ the binaries in hierarchy, or to be more precise the ‘woman’; for there never came a time when we were induced to ask and define the identity of ‘man’. Man is a ‘man’ and always was, the ultimate human being or the norm. But a‘woman’ is a ‘woman – a subjective reality’ and needed to be defined, as there is more to the etymological and historical meaning of the word ‘woman’ than the biological meaning of it, that is to be a ‘female human being’.Biology is not enough to give answers to the questions that are before us; why is women ‘other’? What humanity has made of the human female? These were some of the questions that preoccupied many women and men, andgot tenderedbefore us in the form of ‘feminism’.The present paper aims to emphasize upon how the identity as a function of thought process with various expressionshas determined the existence of women. Andhow farthe ‘Woman Question’was dealt in both theory and praxis in different places and periods of time, leading to the emergence of ‘feminism’. The methodology adopted istextual analysis and interpretation.
MAQUIÁVEIS BRASILEIROS: NOTAS SOBRE LEITURAS DE MAQUIAVEL NO BRASIL
Authors: Di Carlo Josnei
Published: August 2018

Em 2010, a Penguin-Companhia lançou uma nova tradução de “O Príncipe”, de Nicolau Maquiavel. Entre os paratextos, um prefácio de Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Justamente no contexto da Revolução de 1930, Octávio de Faria publicou “Maquiavel e o Brasil” e as primeiras traduções de “O Príncipe” foram lançadas no país. Assim, direita e esquerda recepcionaram Maquiavel como teórico político da autoridade. Somente a partir dos anos 1980, no campo acadêmico, que seu republicanismo passou a ser enfatizado. Porém, Cardoso, ao escrever seu prefácio para “O Príncipe”, fez a viagem redonda e leu Maquiavel para pensar a liderança política. O objetivo deste artigo, portanto, é fazer uma análise das leituras de Maquiavel no Brasil, a partir de prefácios e comentadores, para entender sua atratividade como manual para governar no campo político.
