title: Citizen participation: digital governance’s gap in Brazilian public authorities and educational foundations

description: Abstract This study helps to fulfil a research gap pointed out by Cunha and Miranda (2013) when exploring the social consequences created by the adoption of Digital Governance best practices within Brazilian public authorities and educational foundations. Therefore, the study both measures and describes the level of Digital Governance (DG) in 108 entities that act throughout the country, using a factorial structure that was previously validated. By measuring the entities’ DG levels, we have generated a group of organizational scores listed in a ranking and, using this unidimensional statistic scaling, we arranged the entities based on their DG performance levels. We describe a four-level distribution (A, B, C and D) throughout the Brazilian territory. The Brazilian South-Eastern region concentrates the highest number of entities. However, the Central region has the highest proportion of level “A” entities (with the highest DG levels). The results point out that the largest gap on achieving Digital Governance in Brazil lies in the adoption of mechanisms for social participation on the websites, such as feedback and popular consultations tools. Evidence shows that this is a political-managerial gap, associated with the implementation of e-democracy.

title: Coping with conflicting institutional logics: a study of profit and gain sharing

description: Abstract Since the 1990s, profit and gain sharing systems are part of the reality of Brazilian workers. The aim of the present study was to investigate how an organization responds to conflicting institutional demands throughout the period: from adoption to the decline of a practice. A twenty-years longitudinal case study was carried out in industrial company in São Paulo which implemented a profit and gain sharing system. This paper sheds light on how an organization response can change over time. Acquiescence was the initial response, followed by decoupling and dilution. This response dynamics sequence was observed during of transition, which represented a movement in the direction of the replacing of a dominant logic by another one. At the beginning of the period, the profit and gain sharing system was little known in Brazil, and there was a powerful appeal to implement it, consistent with the logic of increasing productivity improvement. Over time, however, the logic of social protection of workers became the prevailing logic in the field. Even so, its internal representation was postponed, due to external jolts, and due to the influence and co-optation strategies employed by the most powerful group. While literature has depicted that such a group imposes its views in the presence of multiple internal representations of conflicting logics, findings in this study suggest that the use of influence and co-optation can also happen in cases of a single internal representation. The study contributes to the treatment of the internal representation of the logics as a dynamic process, subject to the interference of actors and environmental jolts.

title: Commodification & countermovement: community-supported agriculture (CSA): a case study in Minas Gerais, Brazil

description: Abstract The conventional way of producing and distributing food is based on the use of agrochemicals, fertilizers, industrial fertilizers and other techniques from the Green Revolution, with increasing dependence on financial-industrial capital, which implies the intensification of the agriculture commodification. The object of this study was the emergence of modes of organization resisting this trend. Based on the theoretical reference of Karl Polanyi (2012a, 2012b), a case study was developed in a Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) initiative. It is a movement that resituates agricultural production through the principles of fair trade, agroecology and the use of short supply chains, which bring production and consumption closer together. The result is a better nutritious quality food at affordable and fair price. The analysis of the CSA Alfa case points to the coexistence of different principles of regulation, in a combination of mercantile exchange and reciprocity. According to the proposition by Karl Polanyi, the economic activity is shown to imbricate with the social aspect, of which friendship, tolerance, fidelity and commitment establish a community ethos around food. The CSA seems to manifest a countermovement to the commodification by enhancing the relative autonomy of individuals that elevates the social cohesion of the participating groups.

title: A local productive arrangement from the perspective of cultural regulation theory: the case of Porto Digital encompassing Portomídia

description: Abstract This study describes how the process of cultural regulation occurs in the expansion of the center for information and communication technology Porto Digital, turning local a pole of creative economy called Portomídia - Center of Entrepreneurship and Technology of the Creative Economy. Under the prism of cultural studies, based on cultural regulation theory, we analyze the present articulated meanings to expand the scope of this technological system. We developed an embedded case study to evaluate the local productive arrangement Porto Digital with different levels or units of analysis involving assessments on cultural regulation in the areas of institutional, economic and subjective power. These analytical categories were based on the analysis of the influence of economic power (class system) and institutional power (rules and regulations) on the configuration of this cluster of creativity-intensive enterprises. In turn, subjective power manifests itself in the entrepreneurial act as a fundamental political action for the expansion of the creative pole.

title: Samarco and the Fundão dam rupture: when strategizing loses its operational track and becomes a discursive exercise of sensegiving

description: Abstract This study analyzes how the sensegiving process present in the narrative of Samarco as a strategic practice regarding the rupture in the Fundão dam. This is a qualitative research based on secondary data that included 307 files (893 pages) from the Samarco website, 297 files (647 pages) from the Fundação Renova website and 52 videos (191 minutes) from the Youtube channel Samarco Mineração. At first, a content analysis was performed to observe the content directives provided by the company since the dam rupture. From the analysis were inferred six narrative moments. Ever since the dam incident, the company showed a discursive strategy grounded on presenting a sensegiving process concerning the return of its operations.

title: Public governance in three dimensions: conceptual, measurement and democratic

description: Abstract This paper sought to identify and evaluate initiatives to define and measure public governance. Therefore, a meta-analysis of articles aimed at the construction or critique of public governance indices was performed. The contents of the articles was analyzed by categorical analysis, based on three dimensions of governance: conceptual, measurement and democratic. The results indicate a great diversity of concepts, of instruments used to measure public governance, and of institutional actors that carry it out. Dissonance was also observed between the indicators and the concepts of public governance. Lastly, a definition was proposed for public governance based on the identification and analysis of the concepts presented in the articles.

title: Oil price shocks and global liquidity: macroeconomic effects on the Brazilian real exchange rate

description: This paper examines the effects of the interaction between the oil market and measures of global liquidity on the Brazilian real exchange rate against the U.S. dollar, using an SVAR framework. The results show that approximately 16\% of the variance of the real exchange rate is associated with oil-specific demand shocks in the long run. Supply and aggregate demand shocks are less important. The recovery of the Brazilian real exchange rate in the aftermath of the global financial crisis is more related to advanced economies' liquidity than oil prices. Oil price changes affect the interest rate spread, which puts further pressure on the real exchange rate. Our results shed light on the impact of oil price shocks on the Brazilian economy by providing important insights into the foreign exchange policy in Brazil.

title: Bricolage in the creation and trajectory of a contemporary circus

description: Abstract Bricolage considers that business creation results from a combination of resources for new purposes from available elements that are scarce (Fisher, 2012). The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the emergence of a circus by using the bricolage approach to develop explanations in a specific context. The type of research is a qualitative and exploratory study, a case study. Interviews and secondary data were used. Data were analyzed and the coding process was performed using the software Nvivo9 and resulted in five categories: the birth of the circus: making do; limitations imposed by the environment; the network bricolage; improvisation and mobilization; reputation. The main theoretical contribution was to demonstrate how the bricolage approach can be used to explain the emergence of organizations such as the circus, focus on the process, actors, actions and perceptions.

title: Training actions in a public university, professional development and organizational citizenship: Is there a relationship between these constructs?

description: Abstract This study evaluated the relationship between perceptions of training results, professional development and organizational citizenship’s behaviours, based on a study at a public university. The research is descriptive and employed quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected in three successive stages: documentary analysis, a survey with alumni (n = 231) and a focal group composed of managers (n = 11). Descriptive statistics, structural equations modelling and content analysis were used for the data analysis. The results showed convergences between the opinions of alumni and managers regards on the impact of training. Tests indicated that the impact of training explains 12% of professional development. For the dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior’s, the impact of training was also statistically significant: creative suggestions (22%), dissemination of the organizational image (10%) and cooperation with colleagues (3%). These findings bring theoretical contributions and practical implications for the training of employees in public organizations.

title: Sustainable development and precarious work in Natura’s integrated report: thinking of a counter-accounting

description: Abstract The concept of sustainability in business discourses has been characterized as an ideological movement aimed at legitimizing the power of large corporations. In 2010, the International Integrated Reporting Committee (IIRC) was launched with the aim of creating a globally accepted framework for accounting for sustainability. As legitimacy theories point that communication plays a central role in legitimation processes, in this article we compare the representation of the workforce of cosmetics sellers in 2015 corporate reports from Natura Cosméticos S/A, one of the Brazilian corporations most engaged in IIRC’s initiatives, to the results of independent academic studies. With this, we propose a counter-accounting, i.e. a discourse about organizational performance produced by actors who are independent from the organization’s management. Corroborating the understanding of the IIRC as an inter-organizational enterprise to legitimize a business-friendly definition of sustainability, we argue that in its integrated report Natura celebrates the exploitation of precarious work as a contribution to sustainable development.

title: EMC3 regulates mesenchymal cell survival via control of the mitotic spindle assembly

description: Eukaryotic cells transit through the cell cycle to produce two daughter cells. Dysregulation of the cell cycle leads to cell death or tumorigenesis. Herein, we found that a subunit of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) membrane complex, EMC3, is a key regulator of the cell cycle. Conditional deletion of Emc3 in mouse embryonic mesoderm led to reduced size and patterning defects of multiple organs. Emc3 deficiency impaired cell proliferation, causing spindle assembly defects, chromosome mis-segregation, cell cycle arrest at G2/M, and apoptosis. Upon entry into mitosis, mesenchymal cells upregulate EMC3 protein levels and localize EMC3 to the mitotic centrosomes. Further analysis indicated that EMC3 interacts with VCP and Aurora A in mitotic cells. EMC3 works together with VCP to tightly regulate the levels and activity of Aurora A, an essential factor for centrosome function and mitotic spindle assembly: while over-expression of EMC3 or VCP degraded Aurora A, loss of EMC3 or VCP led to increased stability but the reduced activity of Aurora A in mitosis.

title: Concepts of Work and Professional Competence Development: a Phenomenographic Study with SEBRAE's Local Innovation Agents

description: Abstract Phenomenography is still little used in Brazil despite its great potential for competence studies. Research in this field has show that the individuals’ conceptions of work direct their learning so that they perform it well, since it is these conceptions forge, constitute, and organize attributes (knowledge, skills, and others) used to accomplish it. In order to develop professional competence, researchers suggest that individuals should move from less superficial work conceptions to more comprehensive ones. However, there is a lack of studies that empirically identify the triggers of this change. This article is intended to fill such gap. Its objective was to analyze the process of change in working conceptions of a group of Local Innovation Agents. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed by means of phenomenographic protocols. The “pursuit of goals” and the “desire to carry out quality work” were identified as triggers of changes in conceptions’ changes and the development of new competencies.

title: Data for: In-situ measurement of diffusion and surface segregation of W and Ta in bare and W-coated EUROFER97 during thermal annealing

description: Files with extension ".mpa" contain RBS data treated in paper with counts per channel histograms under [DATA0,1024 ]. Simultaneously acquired PIXE data, not used for the paper, is found under [DATA2,1024 ]. The single file called "3039He_EUROFER2_Wcoated_1045K-timeevol.lst" contains binary list mode data for Fig. 6 in paper. Files with extension ".xnra" contain SIMNRA calculations for Fig. 2, 4 and 5 overlain on collected data. Note smearing of signal near Fe signal edge in experimental spectra. This is partly due to thickness variations in the detector cover foil (see details in paper) and partly due to some effect of light despite the presence of the cover foil.

title: Influence of the formal performance evaluation and its mechanisms on the interpersonal trust between managers: perceived procedural justice and feedback quality

description: Abstract This study uncovered the influence of the individual formal performance evaluation on trust between evaluators-evaluated managers of different hierarchical levels of a company and to what extent this trust is affected by two mechanisms used in evaluation, procedural fairness and feedback. Replicating the study by Hartmann and Slapnicar (2009) the data collection was performed through a questionnaire, translated from that study. Response was obtained from 262 managers of two hierarchical levels of a Brazilian transnational company, which has a consolidated formal performance evaluation system. The hypotheses elaborated were analyzed using descriptive statistics and modeling of structural equations. The results indicate that the individual formal performance evaluation of doesn't present a direct positive influence on the trust between evaluators-evaluated managers of different hierarchical levels, however, this trust is influenced by mechanisms such as feedback quality and perceived procedural fairness. While the results of Hartmann and Slapnicar (2009) indicated that trust between evaluators-evaluated managers of different hierarchical levels depends on the formality of the performance evaluation procedure, in this study dissonances that instigate further research were evidenced.

title: Flavour Symmetry Embedded - GLoBES (FaSE-GLoBES)

description: Neutrino models based on flavour symmetries provide a natural way to explain the origin of tiny neutrino masses. At the dawn of precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters, neutrino mass models can be constrained and examined by on-going and up-coming neutrino experiments. We present a supplemental tool Flavour Symmetry Embedded (FaSE) for General Long Baseline Experiment Simulator (GLoBES), and it is available on https://github.com/tcwphy/FASE_GLoBES. It can translate the neutrino mass model parameters into standard neutrino oscillation parameters and offer prior functions in a user-friendly way. We demonstrate the robustness of FaSE-GLoBES with four examples on how the model parameters can be constrained and whether the model is excluded by an experiment or not. We wish that this toolkit will facilitate the study of new neutrino mass models.
