A dimensão política da dignidade humana em Hannah Arendt

A autora apresenta os principais traços do pensamento de Hannah Arendt sobre o tema da dignidade humana no mundo contemporâneo, que para a filósofa política de origem alemã caiu sob a hegemonia de um suposto progresso social, em nome do qual é justificada a sistemática exclusão de grupos maciços de indivíduos. De acordo com a autora, para Arendt - reconhecida como uma das principais estudiosas do totalitarismo - a despeito do caráter universal que a tradição ocidental atribuía à dignidade do homem, esta só é real e se torna efetiva quando os indivíduos fazem parte de uma comunidade na qual compartilham a liberdade e a responsabilidade. Isso é impossível sob o totalitarismo, que através do controle total do comportamento humano consegue dissolver os limites entre o domínio público e a esfera privada, forjando um mundo em que o sentido das ações humanas passa a remeter a finalidades voltadas para o progresso biológico ou social da espécie. Assim, o princípio da dignidade humana pode ser substituído pela descartabilidade em massa, sob um aparente véu de legitimidade. A autora também discute as relações estabelecidas por Arendt entre este fenômeno e a instabilidade inerente à própria estrutura do Estado-nação, agravada pelo capitalismo, e os perigos que representam as novas formas de dominação para a cultura ocidental e a própria humanidade

Contributions of the old urban homegardens for food production and consumption in Rio Claro, Southeastern Brazil

Urban homegardens are green areas of households within the city limits and they have the potential to provide families with a cheap alternative for diet improvement, and to complement the income of the families who sell cultivated products. This research analyzes the contributions of old urban homegardens on food consumption and household economy. Data related to homegardens composition were collected by interviews and by collecting cultivated plants. Diets were assessed through a retrospective method (last 24 hours food recall) and administered every two months, during a year, to include seasonal variations. The diet of the sampled population was found to be dependent on certain foods, indicating a narrow food niche (Levins index = 25.9; Levins standardized index = 0.23). Variations in interviewees' diet are related to the consumption of fruits and vegetables, which are partly supplied by homegardens. Spices and teas consumed were obtained from homegardens, revealing its importance in food consumption and health. Among the 98 species found in homegardens, only 38% appeared in the interviewees' diet, indicating an under-exploitation of these homegardens. Our study found that the main role of homegardens is to supply variation in the diet, contributing to the consumption of different types of products.

Planejamento de cursos online para professores de alemão: parâmetros em mapa conceitual

Distance-learning language courses are gaining ground because they meet contemporary social demands and expand opportunities for access to new knowledge. They also favor interaction among people with similar goals but who live in places where no live learning arrangements are available. Taking Valente (2002), Garrison and Anderson (2000), and other authors for theoretical bases, this paper reflects on the criteria and aspects to be considered when one plans and ministers online teacher training courses. The data were taken from a distance-based university extension course offered on the Moodle learning platform by a university in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The objective was to encourage German language teachers to further develop their own language skills, reflect on aspects of inter-culturality in teaching the target language, and provide experience with current technological resources. This paper describes the elements that proved to be relevant in the creation and planning of the course, based on authors who deal with characteristics of computer-mediated teaching. The importance of this study is related to the fact that little information is available on the planning of courses in online formats.

Medicina defensiva: uma prática necessária?

We discuss the reasons why Defensive Medicine is widely used in Brazil and worldwide. The Defensive Medicine is characterized by excessive use of complementary tests, the use of supposedly safer therapeutic procedures, the frequent referral of patients to other specialists and by the refusal to care for critically ill patients and with greater potential for complications. This is a practice that aims to defend the doctor from legal suits. The way the processes are conducted by the judiciary certainly contributes to the consolidation of this foolish practice. The slow pace of justice in our country, associated with the unpreparedness of judges and legal experts in the analysis of cases, leads to an emotional exhaustion of the parties involved. Furthermore, poor training of doctors in our country values the use of sophisticated diagnostic and treatment methods, rather than a thorough clinical examination and appropriate communication with the patient. Besides inefficient in protecting the doctor, Defensive Medicine has severe consequences to the patient and to society, since it generates an additional invaluable cost to medical practice, determines greater suffering to the patient and causes deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship, which has always been marked by trust, respect and personhood.

Do estado da droga à droga no Estado

Should taste be discussed? Are there themes in the human life that should not be discussed? Why? What is it aimed when certain themes are discussed or not? The goal of this short paper is to consider the use of so called forbidden drugs in the State. Does the State want to deal with it? Can the State face this problem properly? How has the State tried to deal with such a situation and such a problem? Four researchers of a german university put forward their points of view according to their historical and cultural background. For them this question must be openly and plainly discussed in order to assume that it is also a problem of public health and not only of criminality. In this way a simple prohibition does not solve the problem. The State has the responsibility of elucidating the theme in order to enable the citizen to the use of drugs and to the responsibility for its consequences.

Efeitos do Tai Chi Chuan na qualidade de vida, flexibilidade e equilíbrio de idosos

Introduction: The growth of the aged population in developing countries is fast. Cognitive, motion, metabolic and social injuries are associated to aging, which are potentially able to impair the quality of life of the elder population. A physical activity that provides a mental and physical welfare besides its importance to the good aging, therefore, the Tai Chi Chuan is considered an effi cient and cheap way to improve the quality of life and to reduce the physical alterations unchained by aging.

Methods: Nine volunteers, three men (66.33 ± 13.32 years) and six women (68.67 ± 11.34 years) participated in the study. They performed the training of Tai Chi Chuan during 12 weeks, two times per week, with duration of one hour each session. The volunteers were evaluated at the beginning of the study and after the 12 weeks of training by means of the application of the questionnaire of quality of life SF-36, a scale of balance and the test to seat and to reach was applied to evaluate the fl exibility. Results: It was observed in the Tai Chi Chuan training improvement of the balance and fl exibility; however, the quality of life did not present signifi cant difference. Conclusion: These fi ndings allow us to conclude that the Tai Chi Chuan was effi cient in the improvement of the equilibrium and the fl exibility of elder people; however, it did not modify the Quality of Life of the studied population.

Apontamentos para uma crítica marxista do direito

Este artigo apresenta alguns apontamentos para uma sociologia jurídica marxista. Para isso, apreende o deslocamento do lugar do direito na obra marxiana a partir d A ideologia alemã e, em seguida, decompõe e analisa a questão jurídica em três planos: 1) relação de produção como relação jurídica, 2) as relações sociais institucionalizadas como formas jurídico-estatais socialmente reconhecidas como legítimas e 3) o direito como a ideologia jurídica (sistema de normas, crenças e valores segundo uma forma discursiva própria) que recobre os dois elementos anteriores e lhes atribui sentido e validade moral.
