Governance in concentrated ownership structures: new evidences from BrazilThe article aims to analyze the influence of ownership structure in the efficiency of publicly traded companies in Brazil, where is identified a higher concentration of stocks in the hands of a small group of people. The study combines static optimization techniques using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to identify the efficiency of publicly traded companies, with panel data to identify the influence of ownership structure in the efficiency of the companies, seeking to add the corporate governance to the literature of productive efficiency in the context of institutional differences in the Brazilian environment, to complement previous studies that only consider outputs as efficiency measures. The results showed that the ownership structure negatively influences the efficiency, contrary to most studies based on the American model and showing that the peculiarities of the countries should be taken into consideration, particularly with respect to their legal origin

To guide the understanding, avoid individual interpretations and propose a common language, this analysis includes the convergence of perspectives on a concept characterized as an important management tool for exchanges occurring in territorial scope aimed at socioeconomic development of the place. As a contribution, the paper presents a structure for future research by identifying gaps between the theory of place marketing and the way it is understood, as well as significant difficulties in its implementation
Este articulo estudia el espacio de categorizacion de las interjecciones propias frente a las onomatopeyas y los sonidos inarticulados, desde la teoria de los prototipos (BERLIN; KAY, 1969; ROSCH, 1973; KLEIBER, 1995). Los datos provienen de los corpora CREA, Davies, del diario El Dia, Argentina y paginas de internet. Se examinan las unidades ‘ay’, ‘ah’, ‘oh’, ‘ja’, ‘bua’, ‘brrr’, ‘agg’. A partir del analisis, se percibe que las interjecciones poseen su propio espacio de categorizacion distinto del espacio de los otros elementos abordados, aunque comparten el rasgo de la expresividad. La diferencia reside en que las interjecciones indagadas dan cuenta de la actitud del hablante. Se postula que en la lengua existen, al menos, el sistema de las categorias gramaticales, al que pertenecen las interjecciones y el sistema de categorias expresivas, al que pertenecen onomatopeyas y sonidos inarticulados. Las interjecciones se ubican en el borde del sistema de las categorias gramaticales, manteniendo un vinculo con las categorias del sistema expresivo y se constituyen en pasaje y eslabon entre los dos sistemas.

In the present study a new model of experimental dermatophytosis was tested. The aim was to achieve maximum similarity to a natural infection through a procedure that is easy to carry out. The experimental infection was induced by a single inoculation of 0.5 mL of a suspension with hyphal fragments of T. mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes on the outer ear of guinea pigs. The first signs of infection were observe on the seventh day after inoculation. The experiment demonstrated that this method, besides being effective, causes less stress and the clinical aspects the lesions here were similar to natural lesions.
