The research was aimed at the study of financial methods and indicators applicable to industrial services and civil works companies to support the analysis of the economic-financial situation of industrial services and civil works companies. The theoretical construct was based on Estupiñan and Estupiñan (2006), Gómez, Cáceres, (2002), Gómez (2006), Delgado (2007), and Guajardo (2005). As an instrument for data collection, a semi-structured interview script of 24 questions was applied to three finance personnel of the industrial service and civil works company CHEINSA S.A., and an analysis of the financial methods and indicators was also carried out. The results yielded information on the important indexes for decision making, in addition to a study of these indexes. It was concluded that the analysis methods are not applied and the most important indicators for the decision making process are not used, therefore they do not know at a particular moment the true economic-financial situation of the business.

This book deals with issues related to technolect in the workplace. First, the nuance between technolect and related concepts is identified. Secondly, it discusses technolects as oral and written codes. This study found a disparity between the latter two. The former can be described as "ordinary" technolect and the latter as "learned". It should be noted that the degree of professionalism and charisma proved to be closely linked to the internalized technolect repertoire. The stratification method borrowed from Labov showed the existence of three strata using professional language, either through bilingualism, interference or codic alternation. French words are thus pronounced correctly, distorted or replaced by other terms from another language.

The indiscriminate increase of infractions and illicit acts practiced by minors has pointed to the urgency of rethinking the criminal majority in Brazil. The present study aims to analyze the favorable and contrary grounds for reducing the Penal Majority in Brazil. A bibliographical research was carried out. The theme on the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility is very interesting because it is one of the most discussed topics in the Brazilian political scenario. In the course of the work were discussed topics related to the theme, such as juvenile delinquency, the age of criminal responsibility, criminal responsibility, the Statute of the Child and Adolescent - (ECA) - Law 8,069/90, the theory of integral protection and finally, promoted a discussion about the doctrinal arguments for and against the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility. This study concludes by drawing the attention of the reader and researchers with an affinity for the theme that the doctors were able to expose their opinions on the criminal majority addressed in the manuscript.

The book provides the reader with a brief overview of the good results obtained by combining various predictive maintenance techniques that are highly relevant to the oil industry, following all the necessary procedures so that these techniques enable a safer, more productive and healthier environment. The study seeks to explore the reality of a company in the petroleum products storage and transport industry that operates with LPG sphere-type tanks and became SPIE-certified (Serviço Próprio de Inspeção de Equipamentos) after many efforts and advances in inspection engineering in Brazil. The predictive techniques presented and discussed here are non-destructive tests duly applied to the type of equipment being analysed and its importance to the production process, coupled with a generous history of inspections, maintenance and documents for the equipment being studied, which prove the countless benefits gained from SPIE certification and the possibilities that companies in the same field can take advantage of. We hope that this brief study can contribute to industry, society and future engineering studies.

Occupational health and safety standards are increasingly being consolidated and monitored in Brazil, always seeking to ensure safety and improve the working environment for employees, thus avoiding possible risks to their health. Companies' search for this adaptation is also evolving in the current scenario, where they often faced resistance in some companies. Currently, the Regulatory Norms (NRs) are being applied and inspected with the status of law in the country, in order to increasingly spread this idea of worker safety as one of the main focuses of companies. This work was carried out with the aim of analysing and evaluating the machinery in a foam lamination sector in a mattress factory, seeking to identify possible risks, qualify them and suggest improvements and adjustments for these machines, in order to meet the requirements of NR 12. Using the case study methodology, it was possible to carry out the entire survey, identifying, analysing and evaluating the risks found and then suggesting improvements to be implemented to adapt the machines in the sector.

In order to highlight the drying process, three basic factors need to be taken into account: temperature, humidity and drying air velocity. An experimental study of an indirect greenhouse solar dryer is carried out. Solar irradiation, ambient temperature, wind speed, collector inlet and outlet temperatures, absorber temperature, drying chamber temperature and relative humidity are recorded and plotted. These results are in good agreement with the theoretical ones.

The book deals with the potential uses of nanotechnologies in agribusiness and raises huge doubts about the real benefits or harms of adopting this innovation. Hence the concern of this research to include the human sciences in debates on the spread of nanotechnologies. It is assumed that, given the effective incorporation of new nanotechnological products and processes, there will be a deepening of the technical-scientific-informational densities in the Brazilian agrarian space.

The analysis of the above data and the bibliography consulted led us to select the functional objectives to be stimulated in the different areas of development, which will allow parents to acquire numerous ideas about early stimulation at home, which will be expanded according to their creativity in the face of the growing demands of development. As the stimulating activities take place at home with the adults, they need to know what the indicators of normal development are, which allow them to orient themselves by assessing the maturity level of their child and to monitor the developmental progress. It is also necessary for them to follow certain general steps in order to achieve success in this task, so we have selected those that allow them to form a methodology for achieving greater mastery of the activity.
