The economic effects of isolation policies resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have led small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to look for alternatives to survive. Within this crisis scenario, an engaged university has an important role to play in a regional context in addressing not only health issues, but also any resultant social and economic problems. An engaged university needs to take actions that go beyond its traditional missions of education and research - it has to deliver knowledge to society. This paper analyzes a university-community project in Brazil to identify the necessary elements that help promote a regionally-engaged university: the SOS-PME Advisory Network project, which was originally designed to assist SMEs during the crisis. As a result, we identified elements necessary for promoting the university’s third mission - social engagement by way of a university-community project: an engaged team, multidisciplinarity, project management, agility, alliances, a communication strategy, institutional support, and reputation.

campo da sociologia da infância tem ocupado um espaço significativo no cenário internacional, 1 por propor o importante desafio teórico-metodológico de considerar as crianças atores sociais plenos. Falar das crianças como atores sociais é algo decorrente de um debate acerca dos conceitos de socialização no campo da sociologia. Corsaro (1997, p. 18) afirma que a perspectiva sociológica deve considerar não só as adaptações e internalizações dos processos de socialização, mas também os processos de apropriação, reinvenção e reprodução realizados pelas crianças. Essa visão de socialização considera a importância do coletivo: como as crianças negociam, compartilham e criam culturas com os adultos e com seus pares. Isso significa negar o conceito de criança como receptáculo passivo das doutrinas dos adultos (James & Prout, 1997).Prout (2004, p. 3-4) sustenta a idéia de que o encontro entre a sociologia e a infância é marcado pela modernidade tardia 2 e assim a sociologia da infância encontra-se perante uma dupla missão: criar espaço para a infância no discurso sociológico e confrontar a complexidade e ambigüidade da infância na qualidade de fenômeno contemporâneo e instável. Ele aponta, portanto, dois dualismos do campo. Estrutura e ação: a fundamentação da sociologia da infância baseada na idéia de que a infân-* Agradecemos imensamente a colaboração das professoras Ivany Pino e Ana Lúcia Goulart de Faria na revisão desta apresentação do dossiê.

Peru market return and a world market proxy return as a measure of systematic risk. However, instead of traditional covariance, we used the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) model of Engle (2002) to measure the volatility correlation between each Latin market and the world market. We based the DCC model on marginal volatilities estimated by the GJR-GARCH model (Glosten et al., 1993), using a copula function. The copula-DCC-GARCH model was proposed with a financial application by (Jondeau & Rockinger, 2006). The univariate volatility and an autoregressive vector were also included as independent variables in the model, which coefficients were estimated by quantile regression. The results reveal a breakthrough because the model can capture relationships that were previously masked by the coefficients steadiness and by the lack of consideration over the differences in extreme quantiles pricing. In the lower quantile, negative risk premium was found, reflecting the leverage effect. Furthermore, we found that the quantile correlation coefficients between each market return proxy and the world return proxy were not significant, i.e, only the market own risk is priced, what indicates that Latin markets may present a good diversification opportunity.
