Religião e economia em Antonil

In our analysis of Antonil, author of Cultura e opulência do Brasil, we oppose to the historiography that analyses him as a writer who examines Brazilian society of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, sometimes from a religious perspective, others from the economy perspective. Thus, the historiography sometimes explains him as an author who has a religious vision of society, others as an author who would have an economic view of it. In our viewpoint, both ways to consider him fail for being extreme. To comprehend him, it is necessary to understand him from the issues he has dealt with and how he dealt with them. Only then we can reconcile the religious and economic aspects of his worldview.

De direito social a dispositivo de saúde: o trabalho na legislação de saúde vigente

Starting from the theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault and from a critical appraisal of the Declaration of Universal Human Rights and the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, this article maps the constitution of labor as a dimension that goes from social right to health device. In our analysis we find that labor as a social right and health device has a subjective protagonism and has social and economic aspects contemplated by documents. However in defining and orienting ways of being of individuals that work delivered speeches that fall in and control, hindering the openness of workers for movements of creation expansion of life and work in its positivity of experimentations. We conclude that is not enough to recognize labor as a social right, indicate its role as a health strategy or direct political efforts without problematizing not “what kind of work” can be supportive in a more creative construction of its own work and health.

Gente pobre, gente rica nas florestas da Amazônia

The diversity of social relations in the Amazon region is responsible for the complexity that generalized and simplified ideas conceal in the understanding of its Environmental History. Recent historiography on the North of Brazil shows that this diversity is not to be neglected, under the risk of perpetuating stereotypes and reproducing in common sense social and economic aspects that often lie at the basis of cultural actions, projects and values that push the destruction of the environment, the fragility of citizenship and the uncertainties about the future that hover over the Amazon in the 21st century.

Depressão e suicídio na adolescência: representações sociais e indicadores de risco

Adolescence is a period of physical, biological and psychological changes as well as its time for reflection of the perspectives and social functions that are not defined yet. In addition to the characteristics of this period also included the family and socio-economic aspects such as parental separation, domestic violence, poverty, among others, yielding often, insecurity and confusion feelings, contributing to the case of depression in many cases, each increasingly recurrent and early at this stage in human development. The present study, thus, aimed to investigate the indicators of risk and vulnerability in adolescents to depression, especially those in social context, highlighting the social representation of the same against the disorder, since these guiding this research, the indication of factors contributing influence the etiology of depression in this period. Be consulted on the basis of VHL-PSI, articles related to depression in adolescence, published between the years 2004 to 2014. Observe that adolescents with negative perception of the social context in which the live, are more likely to develop depression, highlighting the importance of healthy social and family relationships for mental health.

Produtividade total dos fatores na agricultura: uma análise da região de Registro

A região de Registro é conhecida pelo baixo grau de desenvolvimento econômico, incluindo o setor agropecuário, o que a difere do restante do estado de São Paulo, não obstante, a região de Registro se destaca pela produção de banana. Neste projeto buscamos efetuar o cálculo da Produtividade Total dos Fatores (PTF), de forma a observar como se comporta a produtividade da agricultura daquela região nos últimos anos. Será feito o levantamento de dados da região para a construção dos indicadores da Produtividade Total dos Fatores (PTF) pelo índice de Törnqvist

Sustainability and CDM projects in the Brazilian sugar cane sector: a discussion on the economic-financial aspects

The study discusses how the revenue from the sale of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) can contribute to the attractiveness of investment in projects of bagasse-based cogeneration. It was observed that revenue from CERs is probably not enough to make these investments acceptable in the economic and financial aspect. However, this study speculates that Clean Development Mechanism projects will be strategic to build a positive image concerning the social responsibility and sustainability of the business in the Brazilian sugar cane sector.

Development of a knowledge-based system for cogeneration plant design: Verification, validation and lessons learned

This paper presents the development of a knowledge-based system (KBS) prototype able to design natural gas cogeneration plants, demonstrating new features for this field. The design of such power plants represents a synthesis problem, subject to thermodynamic constraints that include the location and sizing of components. The project was developed in partnership with the major Brazilian gas and oil company, and involved interaction with an external consultant as well as an interdisciplinary team. The paper focuses on validation and lessons learned, concentrating on important aspects such as the generation of alternative configuration schemes, breadth of each scheme description created by the system, and its module to support economic feasibility analysis.
