A dissertação tem como objetivo compreender a função da Zona Portuária dentro da atual divisão do trabalho da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A abordagem adotada busca relacionar os processos de terciarização e urbanização para alcançar o entendimento sobre como a Zona Portuária vem sendo redefinida a partir do setor de serviços. Assim, a escolha deste recorte espacial no atual contexto do projeto Porto Maravilha, portanto no período que se inicia após 2009, se justifica pelo avanço da economia de serviços sobre um espaço onde a inércia se destacava enquanto processo espacial. Nesse sentido, a terciarização contemporânea observada revela a coexistência de divisões do trabalho que criam uma realidade verdadeiramente complexa. Coexistem nesta mesma zona da cidade os serviços avançados, localizados nos novos edifícios corporativos próximos a orla marítima e ao Boulevard Olímpico, verdadeiros representantes do período técnico-científico-informacional junto de antigos serviços que se localizam no interior dos bairros e mostram, por sua vez, os traços de divisões do trabalho pretéritas. Dentro daquilo que coexiste em termos de trabalho destaca-se também a ação dos vendedores de rua que utilizam o espaço renovado do Boulevard Olímpico para sua atuação. Desse modo, foi possível constatar como a terciarização se reafirma enquanto processo definidor da organização do espaço urbano carioca. Também fica evidente que a Zona Portuária nos mostra a forma como a globalização atua sobre as cidades criando lugares complexos, neste caso concreto, onde firmas de serviços avançados, antigos serviços e vendedores de rua coexistem. Portanto, a Zona Portuária atualmente se mostra como um espaço situado entre a modernização e a inércia.

The literary work Os Sertões (1902), by Euclides da Cunha, is considered a founder of Brazilian nationality. In it, more than narrate and denounce the Canudos War (1896 – 1897), Euclides da Cunha designed a future for Brazil. In his imagination, the future would be in the national integration through the values and pratices of Western modern society. The Euclidean discourse in a systematically way from 1930 to the early twenty-first century becomes the major project for Brazilian State. Integrat the territory from Western modern precepts, is hegemonized as possibility for a “great Brazil”, promoting economic growth and social development, while the second is limited to the first. The thesis aimed to understand the contemporaneity of the Euclidean projetct. For this, we sought to interpret the state of the imaginary form the National Policy for Regional – PNDR – established in 2003. As analysis space, it was interpreted the socio-spatial transformations in the semiarid region during 13 year of operation of the PNDR. Looking closer to “Os Sertões” and the limited space for the study, there was the field and the analysis of Bahia’s micro-region of de Euclides da Cunha, involving nine municipalities. Five municipalities (Euclides da Cunha – old Cumbe -, Monte Santo, Tucano, Uauá, Canudos – old Belo Monte) are mentioned by Euclides da Cunha. Thus, the choice of semi-arid and the micro-region of Euclides da Cunha comes from the fact that these correspond physically and socially whith the space that through PNDR enabled us to verify that the Euclidean project remains in its respective specificity, in the base of the State’s action; thus concludes with the interpretation of modernizing integration imaginary, that this is a process that is not ending. The spatial imagery analysis of Os Sertões and PNDR allowed to understand that in the meeting points of yesterday with “today”, the history of state intervention trought the modernizing integration served as instrument of a cicle for social strutctures (political and economic) conservative. The state does not promote significant improvements to building a more just Brazil. The modernization in the way reproduced in historiy, is a scam legitimized by the sate. And that’s the point of orientation of the analysis / interpretation / reading Os Sertões to contemporary: overcoming the institutionalized deception involving imaginary of Brazilian spaces.

Emancipated in 1895, Jataí, a city located in southwestern Goias, had as main economic activities, since its inception, animal husbandry and subsistence agriculture. From the second half of the twentieth century, with the shift of the economic frontier for the region, Jataí urbanized and modernized to invest in new agricultural techniques. The process of modernization of the city can be seen in the transformation of the commercial sector. From simple emporiums warehouses, the shops have specialized, rationalized its work, and gradually turned into "take-pay", expanding its structure, more recently, for large format supermarkets. This dissertation examines what were the main changes in the trading houses of the city in the twentieth century, specifically in the 1950s to 1970 when the city was modernized, and how people coped with these changes.

Whatever comes up I do: woman and modernization in the Southwest of the State of Goiás, Brazil is a result of a research carried out in the Master s studies in Education, enrolled under the Research Area: Education, Work and Social Movements, from the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Goiás. The research investigates features of working women s lives, in order to understand the dynamics of their life, their conception of family and work, and the role they attribute to education, exploring the way they think, feel, live and give meaning to their daily routine, trying to understand mainly how this social condition is constructed. In order to do so, a field research was carried out, involving fifteen women, through semi-structured interviews, totaling an amount of 32 recording hours, in the city of Jataí, in the Southwest of the State of Goiás, Brazil. As the basis for this study I used theories by Castel, Florestan Fernandes, Octávio Ianni, Habermas, and Adorno, among other authors. The results point to the fact that the social insertion of women in the work market is still limited. Moreover, the majority of them are in a situation of vulnerability. Nevertheless, we noticed that their participation in the family income, as a result of their struggle for survival, has brought to them a liberal autonomy inside the family, which is perceived in the confrontation with the social reality, representing a break with an almost single standard of eternal dependence on their partner.

The modernization of processes and procedures through the use of technology is a trend from which Public Administration has not been immune. The management models that guide the provision of the public service have, over the years, been developed and incorporated the use of digital tools into their day-to-day activities, combining them with economy and efficiency.Transport serving institutional demands also benefited from the use of technology. The combination of outsourcing, the internet and the Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled the development of a project called TáxiGov, which has the support of third-party providers and was designed to reduce service costs and modernize the process, from requesting to execution. , until accountability. The experience began in Brasilia - Distrito Federal DF and expanded in Public Administration. The high costs of vehicular maintenance of its own fleet are an incentive for public bodies to choose to join TáxiGov, which is what happened at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), which debuted the use of TáxiGov between 2021 and 2022. analysis of the hiring documents showed the lack of a method capable of estimating the demand for transport in the institution. The aim of this study and its objective are, precisely, to identify a demand estimation mechanism for the transport service at UFG, in terms of mileage, in order to support the bidding processes for the provision of the transport service. Data were collected on the historical series of mileage traveled by UFG's own fleet between 2013 and 2022 and the mileage traveled under the TaxiGov contract. The method selected was linear regression analysis. The applied tests applied resulted in the equation represented by -60471*x + 671121, which demonstrated that there is a strong linear correlation between the data provided, which can support, in a robust way, the calculation of the demand for transport at the UFG in future contracts that need the indication of this value.

This work connects to the search line Culture and Educational Processes and has as an study object the reciprocity constituent of modernization, individualization and privatization of spheres of sociability. It aims to explain the formation of this historic process, explaining its fundamental connections. This is a literature search, in which emphasis is the categories of modernization, individualization, family and media, symbolically represented by television, considered the contribution from a historical and social. It is concluded that the process of privatization of the social spheres is a constitutive aspect of modern society in their movement for the consolidation and expansion. In that case, the family is a significant emblem to form the headquarters of the private world. The privatization of the family provides the necessary openness for the accommodation of the media of mass inside, especially for television, which allows an even greater emphasize that privatization, constitutive element of capitalist development

By means of the transformations unleashed by the process of modernization, the territories become integrated and fluid, giving rise to the current socio-spatial dynamics. This process allows the diffusion of the urban centers by the territory and its organization in urban networks that articulate and form the various existing centralities. Before that, this work has as an objective to understand the socio-spatial dynamic of Itapuranga by means of the relationships and interactions established between the municipality and the other centers of the urban network, boosted by the process of territorial modernization. For this, the methodological procedures of research were based on biographic review, data collection in public and private institutions, application of fieldwork, questionnaires and interviews. The present work revealed that the socio-spatial dynamic of a municipality forms by means of the relationships from this center with the others municipalities of the urban network, creating a structure and spatial organization capable of meeting the yearnings of the social relations of production.

Esta tese trata da relação entre questão agrária e modernização no Brasil, tomando como objeto de estudo as interpretações da questão agrária por intelectuais brasileiros, oriundos de campos disciplinares distintos, tais como a sociologia, a história e a economia. O período examinado abrange as décadas de 1960 a 1990. A tese se propõe a reconstruir criticamente a formação da narrativa hegemônica, tentando compreender as relações possíveis entre as ideias, a política e as vias de desenvolvimento. Para tanto examinamos os textos de intelectuais diversos, que conformaram as linguagens com as quais a questão agrária pode ser compreendida. Esses textos foram comparados com as políticas implementadas a partir do estado e com os conflitos sociais que caracterizaram os períodos.
