Conhecendo a hist��ria oculta das coisas. Em busca de um consumo respons��vel: cartilha de base para iniciativas educacionais formais e informais

A sociedade contempor��nea presencia um momento mundial bastante cr��tico, no qual se faz presente uma crise s��cio-ambiental que tende a se agravar a cada dia devido �� explora����o e distribui����o de recursos naturais inadequadas. Na busca de um modelo que torne vi��vel a sobreviv��ncia das futuras gera����es de todas as esp��cies viventes, faz-se necess��ria uma altera����o do paradigma antropoc��ntrico vigente, para um paradigma bioc��ntrico, comprometido com todas as formas de vida do planeta. A mudan��a dos padr��es consumistas presentes no sistema capitalista para padr��es permeados pelo consumo sustent��vel torna-se base essencial para esta mudan��a de paradigmas. Em tal processo de transi����o, a educa����o aparece como uma importante ferramenta para a forma����o de indiv��duos conscientes, criativos e portadores de senso cr��tico, enfim, indiv��duos mais capazes de promover as mudan��as de padr��es necess��rias. Surge ent��o a necessidade de uma educa����o inovadora, que promova a forma����o de cidad��os conscientes e atuantes. A partir dessas necessidades, surge o trabalho aqui exposto, com o objetivo de proporcionar uma cartilha de base para iniciativas educacionais voltadas ao consumo respons��vel.

An��lise da queda de granizo em Guarulhos-SP e seus impactos socioecon��micos

The climate and weather have direct implications on society, are factors that can to regulate or restrict human occupation in a determined space. In this way, studies of climate and weather are justified to be extremely necessary for urban planning and economic activities, especially agriculture. The precipitation of hail, which enters in the classification of severe storm, causes large, direct and indirect impacts on society, mainly when it occurs in urban areas. This work aims to study the precipitation of hail, explain what is a severe storms and how hail is formed in clouds, making use of a literature review in geography and also in weather sciences. It is also an aim of this work analyze the genesis, evolution and dissipation of a specific case of precipitation of hail occurred in the metropolitan region of S��o Paulo, especially in Guarulhos, on 21st of September 21 of 2010, through the use of GOES-12��� satellite���s images and the use of S��o Roque���s weather radar. And in this way, show the potential impact of hail storms in society and contribute to a greater preparedness of the population, urban planners associations and emergency management, such as municipalities, the civil defense and fireman

A institucionaliza����o da agricultura familiar no mercosul

The Mercosul project, signed in 1991, represents the union of a political project, characterized by a democratic agreement among its members, with an economical project characterized by the trade liberalization among its regional members and among these with the global economy. So, it was constituted, with the aim to expand the national trades by the integration, to increase the economic development process with social justice. However, the Mercosul follows the historical trajectory of Latin America integration, characterized by models that aimed the economical development from the strengthening of the industry. According to that, the Mercosul politics are priority for economic issues, focused in the industrialization and trade relations, giving less priority to the social demands. In opposition to such ideas, in 2004 was created the Especialized Meeting about Family Farm (Reuni��o Especializada sobre Agricultura Familiar - REAF) in the Mercosul, that aim to strengthen the public policies of the sector, to promote the commercialization of the family farm products in the region. So, the family farm, a sector historically marginalized from the integration projects, it is institutionalized in the Mercosul. In that way, the aim of this research is to discuss the reasons that leaded to the family farm institutionalization, and also to analyze the advances and problems of the Especialized Meeting about Family Farm

Impactos socioespaciais do uso e ocupa����o do solo urbano na ��rea de entorno do Aeroporto Internacional de S��o Paulo - Guarulhos - Andre Franco Montoro

The construction of the S��o Paulo International Airport in Guarulhos recorded significant economic growth for the whole region, especially for services and jobs generated. Despite the importance of its presence in Guarulhos, we note the absence of an articulate and committed planning to urban development of the city, mainly in adjacent areas to this airport system planning. Through this stud, we analyzed primarily the major interferences and modifications afforded by its presence in guarulhense spatiality. We found that the government was, to some extent, tolerant to mounting housing in the surrounding area to the airport, from the moment that allowed the diverse urban land use in the place where it was planned to build such equipment. We further note that the airport is developed autonomously to the municipality in which the investments and related works only aim to meet the needs of the enterprise

Programa de acelera����o de crescimento ��� P.A.C: discuss��o sociol��gica a respeito do mercado da habita����o

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma an��lise a respeito do que foi proposto pelo Programa de Acelera����o do Crescimento ��� PAC pelo governo em mandato Lu��s In��cio Lula da Silva, em janeiro de 2007, destacando seus principais resultados ao t��rmino do ano de 2010, contribuindo com uma investiga����o a respeito do modelo de desenvolvimento adotado nos ��ltimos dez anos no Brasil. Argumentamos que o setor habitacional teve maior ��nfase no setor de infraestrutura social e urbana, levando em considera����o que havia uma busca pela melhoria do n��vel de d��ficit habitacional no Brasil que, de acordo com o Minist��rio das Cidades, em 2006, era de aproximadamente 8 milh��es de domic��lios, sendo que sua grande maioria localizavam-se nas ��reas urbanas, aproximadamente 6,5 milh��es de domic��lios. Moldando essa discuss��o atrav��s dos conceitos da Sociologia Econ��mica, argumentamos que, em termos de Mercado Habitacional, o Estado construiu a ideia da necessidade da casa pr��pria, e a popula����o aderiu a essa ideia como sendo algo necess��rio para a condi����o de estar inclu��da em uma sociedade ou grupo social

O processo de desindustrializa����o da economia brasileira no per��odo 2000-2011

A ind��stria de transforma����o �� considerada de suma import��ncia para o desenvolvimento do pa��s tanto em termos econ��micos como sociais, visto que �� respons��vel por encadeamentos produtivos e efeitos multiplicadores no emprego e na renda do pa��s. Entre os anos de 2000 e 2011 ainda que haja ind��cios de desindustrializa����o da economia brasileira, devido �� queda da participa����o do valor adicionado da ind��stria de transforma����o no Produto Interno Bruto e �� deteriora����o da ind��stria de transforma����o frente ao com��rcio exterior, no que concerne ao emprego, em termos absolutos e relativos, n��o h�� suspeitas de que esteja em curso no Brasil um processo de desindustrializa����o. Paralelamente, ressalta-se que embora se fa��am presentes sintomas da chamada ���doen��a holandesa��� no Brasil, ou seja, balan��a comercial superavit��ria em commodities acompanhada de d��ficits da ind��stria de transforma����o e de taxa de c��mbio valorizada; o Brasil n��o parece sofrer da ���doen��a���

An��lise da viabilidade de motoriza����o el��trica do soprador no ciclo regenerativo da unidade de craqueamento catal��tico fluidizado em uma refinaria

One of the biggest environmental problems of today is the climate change. Experts affirm that this global warming is related to the greenhouse effect. Its causes are directly related to human activity, especially the use of fossil fuels. In this context, companies around the world are challenged to improve energy efficiency in order to reduce the environmental impact and work toward the so-called tripod of sustainable development that focuses on the social, economic and environmental aspects of a business strategy. The first step a company can make in this regard is to conduct an inventory of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The reduction of GHG emissions in a refinery can be achieved by replacing steam turbines with electric motors to drive big machines, this reduction is achieved by relieving the steam consumption for electric power available or purchased. An important aspect associated with the reduction of GHG emissions is the best performance of the Energy Intensity Index (ERI). The objective of this study was to analyze the feasibility of the blower motorization in the regenerative cycle of a fluidized catalytic cracking unit at a specific refinery. For development work, two methods were used, the initial screening and optimization scenarios with the help of software Butyl. The results indicate that after a certain cost of natural gas this substitution becomes favorable. In addition, there is a large reduction of CO2 emissions avoided by burning fuel

M��dia radical: an��lise comparativa entre a opini��o da grande imprensa e da m��dia radical no novo c��digo florestal

The objective of this work is to compare how manifests the ideological positioning in the hegemonic media productions, according to Gramsci's conception, in relation to the radical alternative media, proposed by John Downing. The research has as opinionated content sample printed newspaper O Estado de s. Paulo, contrasting with the expressions of NON-PROFIT bauruense environmental ���Instituto Ambiental Vid��gua on the proposals of the new Brazilian forest Code. The analysis will hold in an interval between the adoption of the code by the Chamber of deputies in April 2012, and the provisional measure of President Dilma Rousseff with 32 modifications, after vetoing 12 articles proposed initially in may 2012. To support the study, will be crafted Gramsci hegemony; What is the alternative and radical media as it manifests itself; the relationship between the environmental journalism with the environmental NGOs; opinionated journalism and journalistic genres opinionated; theories of journalism and framing of matter

Depress��o e apoio social percebido por m��es de crian��as hospitalizadas

This study was performed as a requirement of the final course in Nursing. The study is cross-cutting, in order to identify associations between socioeconomic factors, education, child hospitalization in the ICU or not, degree of depression and level of social support (material, affective, emotional, informational and positive social interaction) and how to identify subgroups of mother - child vulnerable. Constitute themselves as subjects, mothers of children 0 to 17 years, 11 months and 29 days in hospital after the second day of hospitalization in the pediatric unit of a State Hospital Interior Paulista. Data collection was initiated after obtaining the assent of the Research Ethics Committee, as well as signing the consent form. We used the following instruments to collect data: the data form for socioeconomic and hospitalization; Beck Depression Inventory and Medical Outcomes Study (MOS). We obtained the result that there is a strong association between availability and social support and income per capita and the degree of depression, but did not find an association between time and hospital stay and whether the child was admitted to the ICU or not. We conclude that it is necessary to establish treatment services from the patient���s family, plus an appropriate social service support to meet this big demand for mothers who need support

Projeto Meraki

We realize this days a spacing of individuals, on what concerns their relationships with others. At the same time, the technologies and the possibilities of virtual interaction are more and more present and developed. At this point, we draw a connection between the virtual immersion and the detachment from personal and face to face relationships. Wear this reality, this project proposes a discussion of the communications while transmitting messages and content, as well as a basis for social relations developed between individuals in a given society. From this analysis, we depart for the development of an action joining the Public Relations and Design, while communication areas that when involved, enable the development of an empirical theory for the increased use of social relations, through the feelings

Qualidade de vida e vulnerabilidade social na percep����o do idoso

According to data from the World Health Organization, the older population will grow sixteenfold from 1950 to 2025 in comparison to a fivefold population growth in the same period, which is referred to by UNO as the ���Ageing Era���. This places Brazil in the sixth position in the contingent of older individuals worldwide, with a number that is higher than 32 million. Considering how topics such as quality of life and social vulnerability are important in face of the growing older population, these topics must be furthered studied so that they can be understood as important variables for both better clinical practice and scientific research. To describe the social vulnerability and evaluate the quality of life of older individuals in a population hospitalized in the internal medicine ward of Bauru State Hospital. This is a descriptive qualitative study that was conducted by means of interviews and using Bardin���s discourse analysis. The inclusion criteria used in this study were: individuals at 60 years of age who were mentally capable of answering the proposed questions. Two categories concerning Quality of Life and Social Vulnerability emerged from the interviews. The following emerged from the theme Quality of Life: ���Life as something important��� and subcategories that involved feeling useful in society, having a supportive family, independence, optimism and joy and survival. Also, the following emerged from the theme Social Vulnerability: ���Negative recognition of older individuals in society��� and subcategories that involved lack of respect, functional disability, family indifference, housing-related insecurity, an inefficient health care system and loneliness. Quality of Life and Social Vulnerability are largely discussed themes in the present scenario. In this study, it was possible to perceive that the older population needs social support, effective public... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Habita����o social e parcelamento urbano em Presidente Prudente - SP

Este trabalho discute sobre como a habita����o social vem sendo desenvolvida no Brasil e apresenta uma proposta de loteamento urbano para as classes sociais menos favorecidas economicamente na cidade de Presidente Prudente. A id��ia do projeto �� a de comparar um loteamento com vias ortogonais, lotes privados e espa��os de lazer p��blicos bem separados, com uma proposta cujas unidades habitacionais estariam dispostas de forma a criar ��reas verdes integradas ao conv��vio social. Para isso foram considerados aspectos sociais, econ��micos, formais e funcionais. A elabora����o do trabalho come��ou com estudos sobre o tema e com levantamento bibliogr��fico, quando nasce essa inquieta����o sobre habita����o social no Brasil, verificou-se a car��ncia de bons projetos arquitet��nicos em uma rela����o quantitativa. A partir da��, foram analisadas diversas pesquisas e propostas que relacionam a urbaniza����o brasileira e a forma como ela se apresenta com rela����o a unidades habitacionais, com interesse social, ou seja, para pessoas de baixa renda, com foco na cidade de Presidente Prudente (S��o Paulo). De acordo com esses estudos, foi feito um levantamento de poss��veis ��reas de implanta����o de um loteamento onde foi constatada a exist��ncia de um terreno n��o edificado, em uma ��rea com infra-estrutura e dentro do per��metro urbano. Esta ��rea de aproximadamente 100 mil metros quadrados foi escolhida para a realiza����o do trabalho de compara����o das diferentes formas de produ����o do espa��o urbano

An��lise da qualidade de vida de pacientes com a doen��a de Charcot-Marie-Tooth tipo 1A

A doen��a de Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) �� a mais freq��ente das neuropatias heredit��rias, mas a sua hist��ria natural �� pouco conhecida. Apesar da maioria dos pacientes apresentarem uma evolu����o com caracter��sticas mais ���benignas���, �� associado �� doen��a com um comprometimento funcional, o que pode ser acompanhado de limita����es e incapacita����es. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes afetados pela CMT1A. Considerando que a qualidade de vida pode sofrer influ��ncia de vari��veis s��cio-culturais, um estudo neste contexto mostra-se oportuno. Nenhum estudo de nosso conhecimento realizou tal avalia����o no contexto brasileiro. Fizeram parte deste estudo pacientes com CMT decorrente da duplica����o 17p11.2-p12 (CMT1A) que foram avaliados quanto ao comprometimento funcional por meio da aplica����o do SF-36. Esse question��rio �� utilizado internacionalmente para aferir a qualidade de vida dos indiv��duos. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos �� an��lise estat��stica. Como resultados n��o se observaram associa����es entre o g��nero e os dom��nios avaliados para a qualidade de vida. Os dados obtidos revelaram que a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com CMT1A se mostrou comprometida principalmente quanto aos seus Aspectos Sociais (p = 0,02) e Aspectos emocionais (p = 0,04). Adicionalmente, houve uma tend��ncia ao comprometimento da Capacidade Funcional (p = 0,08), sendo que os outros ��ndices de avalia����o de comprometimento f��sico se mostraram preservados. A presen��a ou aus��ncia de ocupa����o parece influenciar os Aspectos Sociais apresentando uma tend��ncia de diferen��a significativa (p = 0,07), possuindo o grupo com ocupa����o valores superiores. Apesar da CMT1A apresentar piora cl��nica ao longo dos anos, a idade mais avan��ada n��o implicou em uma pior percep����o da qualidade de vida no grupo de pacientes estudados no presente trabalho...
