Reflexão sobre a atuação de mulheres nas áreas de ciência e tecnologia

This paper proposes an observation that leads to new ways of thinking regarding to women's in science and technology fields, based on previous researches that report this matter. The first detailed work on the participation and achievement of women in Science was "Women in Science" in 1913, written by HJ Mozans, a Catholic priest. According to Schienbinger (2001), this work used to invite women to develop activities in scientific areas and unleash the energies of half population of the planet. It's also important to consider the role of international organs, such as UNESCO, which since the 1990s develops studies, researches and conferences in order to discuss the inclusion of women in activities which involve science and technology. A survey based on data from literature is necessary to make a assessment on this subject in current times.

A divulgação da informação científica no rádio

No mundo, a fase atual pode ser caracterizada de sociedade do conhecimento na era da informação. A prática científica está associada a um ordenamento socio-politico-econômico, logo é justificável o porquê dos questionamentos na prática científica ser uma constante, em virtude das alterações ou modificações dos meios de controles científicos. A comunicação social por meio dos programas radiofônicos sobre divulgação de informações científicas pode ser funcionar como um instrumento de instrução ou de educação, algo que possivelmente estimule o gosto do público pela cultura científica. A evolução da tecnologia radiofônica, em sintonia com a informática e a microeletrônica, proporcionou as condições de produção direcionadas para a criação tanto de programas de caráter cultural educativo e científico como também para a criação de programas populares visando lazer diversão. O presente trabalho discorre sobre re-organização da emissora de rádio enquanto empresa que, atualmente, deve planejar técnica e administrativamente sempre que necessário visando melhorar as condições de produções de programas radiofônicos para a transmissão da informação científica.

Ciência de serviços no Brasil: proposta de aplicação aos agronegócios

Ao se verificar nas últimas décadas a composição dos setores econômicos nos chamados países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento, nota-se um grande avanço e predominância do setor de serviços na composição de seu Produto Interno Bruto, chegando a ser na maioria dos casos o mais importante setor gerador de divisas, emprego e desenvolvimento. A Ciência de Serviços (CS) traz hoje a necessidade estratégica de políticas públicas, de ensino profissional e de pesquisas para o fomento e desenvolvimento desta Ciência no Brasil como fator estratégico para garantir uma maior competitividade da economia brasileira. A partir da hipótese de utilização da CS e de uma revisão bibliográfica do tema, buscou-se evidenciar suas potenciais aplicações no agronegócio, de maneira que este se torne mais eficiente, coordenado e sincronizado com o avanço dos serviços na composição da economia contemporânea nacional.
