This is the first quarter in which numbers from the Under Armor operation in Brazil are consolidated. We expect this operation to bring us positive results as early as 2019 and we have good expectations about future results. With the Under Armor brand, renowned for its high technology and innovation, we established an operation in the premium segment of the sports market as from October 2018, increasing our share in this market in an organic manner. As part of the agreement, we are creating and developing together with Under Armor, specific products for the Brazilian market, the production of which started in the first quarter of 2019 while sales will begin in the second quarter of 2019. The fourth quarter of 2018 maintained the trend for improvement although it was modest in terms of retail sales. Numbers for the year, however, still reflect the negative effects of atypical events that have substantially affected the economy and consequently the Company's performance. In the Athletic footwear segment, competition for consumer loyalty has been driven by the growth in imports throughout the year. In the meantime, the Company's sales picked up again at the beginning of the second six-month period, was consolidated this movement in the last period of the year with positive data on Athletic footwear, women's footwear and apparel. In the fourth quarter of 2018, consolidated net revenue reached R$ 354.0 million, an increase of 12.5% over the same period of the previous year. The Athletic footwear category posted a positive performance, influenced by the stable performance of the Olympikus brand sales and the beginning of consolidation of Under Armor sales. The Women's footwear segment posted a 19.3% increase in its revenue, where the product collection presented was well received in the retail segment, more suited to the technical specialties of Vulcabras Azaleia. The divisions of Appereal and Accessories and Other footwear and other articles are also increasing, where the former is highly influenced by the introduction of the Under Armor operation. Abroad, the performance of the Peruvian and Colombian subsidiaries was positive but the economic crisis in Argentina, the main export market, caused a sharp reduction in foreign market revenue, further affecting the Athletic footwear category. In 4Q18, the gross margin continued to rise in relation to the previous quarters, being very close to the 4Q17 result. These were 37.8%, compared to 38.0% in 4Q17. EBITDA of R$ 69.1 million was 1.8% lower than the result for 4Q17 (R$ 70.4 million), but it was the best result of 2018, indicating a resumption of the profitability rhythm, although it has suffered effects from non-recurring results as described below. Net income was R$ 46.2 million, 1.8% above R$ 45.4 million for the same period in 2017. 3 Throughout 4Q18, we staged significant marketing activities for each brand. Olympikus intensified its communication in the consolidation of its running shoe platform, in the launch of new technologies and the Kids line with broad exposure on TV, social networks and points of sale. Under Armor emphasized its high-performance characteristics in a national training competition and films featuring Brazilian athletes as part of the `Will Finds a Way´ global campaign. Highlighting lifestyle sneakers such as the `chunky sneakers´, Azaleia continued with versatile fashion communication on digital channels, focused on its e-commerce. The manufacturing plant´s modernization plan was still in progress in 4Q18, and R$ 17.1 million was invested, in a project intends to increase the productivity and efficiency of industrial plants. It is important to stress that the plants are ready for the production of Under Armor sneakers. We closed 2018 with certain that we have overcome many challenges and have taken important steps, such as the acquisition of the Under Armor brand, which will allow us to expand our business. We remain attentive to new business opportunities to continue to grow and create value for our shareholders. We are ready for a new cycle of Company achievements. Pedro Bartelle – CEO. 4 INSTITUTIONAL Vulcabras Azaleia has been operating for more than six decades in the Brazilian footwear sector. The Company utilizes all its know-how in a constant search for innovation to bring the best proposal for technologically developed products to the Brazilian consumer as well as fashion icons. During this period, the Company has consolidated itself as one of the largest footwear industries in Brazil and has become a leading brand manager in its respective segments, such as Olympikus, the national sneaker sales champion, and Azaleia, one of the most revered brands for women’s footwear. Success in brand management has led Vulcabras Azaleia to become, in October 2018, Under Armor's exclusive licensee in Brazil one of the largest brands for apparel, footwear and sports accessories in the world. This expertise began in July 1952, with the establishment of Companhia Industrial Brasileira de Calçados Vulcanizados S.A., in São Paulo, a manufacturer of leather shoes with vulcanized rubber soles and Vulcabras 752 was one of its first icons, the name of which is in reference to the month and year of the Company's foundation. Vulcabras Azaleia's business model also ensures significant competitiveness, which results in better services to customers. The Company masters all production process stages, from research to production, as well as from marketing to sale to retailers. The shoes produced by the Company can be found in stores representing more than 12 thousand customers in Brazil and in more than 20 other countries, particularly in South America. Customers can also find Olympikus, Under Armor and Azalea brands on their respective online channels. There are more than 800 new models per year, designed in one of the largest centers for footwear technology and development in Latin America, located in the municipality of Parobé in the Rio Grande do Sul State. The products are produced in three modern factories in Brazil’s Northeast region; namely, in the cities of Horizonte in the Ceará State, Itapetinga in the Bahia State and Frei Paulo in the Sergipe State. The Company's administrative centers, are located in the city of Jundiaí-SP and in the city of São Paulo-SP. These six units in Brazil directly employ 14,000 workers. There are also two branches and distribution centers in Peru and Colombia. Besides mastering this process Vulcabras Azaleia also knows how to transform itself. With these values in tune with its day-to-day operations, the Company is working on a strategy of portfolio diversification and expansion of its base in South America. The focus is on business continuity, constantly seeking innovation and refinement. 5 GROSS VOLUME In 4Q18, the gross amount billed totaled 7.2 million pairs/pieces, an increase of 21.9% compared to the 4Q17 total of 5.9 million pairs/pieces. The variation in the period is due to the growth in footwear and sportswear, mainly in the domestic market, driven by the beginning of sales of products under the Under Armor brand, which became part of the Company’s portfolio in that quarter and complemented sales of Olympikus shoes. The Women’s footwear also showed growth in all markets. The growth in the domestic market was partially overshadowed by the significant fall in foreign sales of Athletic footwear.

Medium- and genre-specific biases such as the visuality of telenovelas are powerful limiting agents of representation. However, technological determinism must be expanded to read culture itself as deterministic to properly account for particular biases in the medium’s use in different national contexts. The key issue is a struggle for a “monopoly of knowledge” over discourses that deem homosexuality as “acceptable,” and one that views it as “unacceptable” and strange. This article examines three recent gay and lesbian progressive storylines in TV Globo telenovelas that fell short in one important aspect: the characters were not allowed to kiss. This article addresses the inherent bias of the Brazilian television medium—more specifically, TV Globo’s telenovela genre—as it relates to representations of homosexuality and homosexual love. Medium- and genre-specific biases—for example, the “visuality” (itself an example of the codes) of telenovelas—are powerful limiting agents of representational possibility.

  • Viewers, Users, Fans: Brazilian Telenovelas and Cross-Media Usage
    Viewers, Users, Fans: Brazilian Telenovelas and Cross-Media Usage Júnia Ortiz, Universidade Federal da Bahia Abstract This paper aims to analyze the interaction between Brazilian viewers on Twitter during the broadcast of a telenovela, the most important television drama product in Brazil. This is an empirical and exploratory study, which is based on the content analysis generated by Twitter users. 30,685 messages were collected during the broadcast of twenty chapters of Avenida Brasil, a telenovela aired by Rede Globo in 2012, with 179 chapters. Data collection was performed between May 21 and June 15, 2012 (excluding weekends). After capture, the data were analyzed, wondering how the viewers interact with each other and with the narrative through new communication technologies. Keywords: Fans; Television; Telenovelas; Twitter; Brazil. Television: New Ways of Watching and Interacting The way of watching TV has always been linked to the development of technologies. The appearance and the popularity of the remote control, the VCR and the video game, for example, changed in some extension the way of watching TV, bringing the discovery of zapping, the possibility of video recording and the loss of a captive audience for setting up a more buoyant audience. Since the 1950s, when television was officially inaugurated in Brazil, several changes have been happening with regard to the production and circulation of contente, and at the same time in the habits and behaviors of the audience. Initially, the television caused some estrangement because it was an unknown media, which demanded a habit previously nonexistent: to stay indoors to watch images displayed on a screen.

  • Análise De Medidas De Profundidade, Dureza, Comprimento E Largura De Tênis Masculinos Para a Prática De Corrida De Rua

Paralelo a isso, as lesões aumentam de forma proporcional em virtude da sobrecarga de treinamento, anatomia do praticante e fatores biomecânicos relacionados ao esporte, bem como o calçado utilizado. Objetivo: Tendo em vista que no Brasil não há uma padronização de medidas para tênis com mesma numeração, o presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar as variâncias observadas através dos dispositivos: paquímetro digital, durômetro e Brannock, de 83 modelos de tênis masculinos destinados à prática de corrida de rua. Métodos: A análise se deu através das medidas de profundidade do tendão de Aquiles, maleolar medial e lateral, dureza, largura do cabedal anterior e comprimento das palmilhas. Os modelos selecionados apresentavam valores entre R$ 100,00 e R$ 954,00 (salário mínimo do ano de 2018), numeração 41 e foram disponibilizados pelas lojas de produtos esportivos localizadas na cidade de Curitiba/PR. Resultados: Com base nos dados obtidos, a maioria das marcas selecionadas apresentaram medidas e valores comerciais discrepantes, embora as mesmas tenham demonstrado ao menos um modelo destaque nos quesitos avaliados.
