50 anos de produção acadêmica brasileira sobre alfabetização: avanços, contradições e desafios

Aiming to contribute to understanding the Brazilian academic production on literacy, theses and dissertations on the subject, completed between 1965 and 2011, are analyzed. Situating them in the historical process of constitution of literacy as an object of study, since the 19th. century, beyond the political and historical context of origin in the 1960s, the following contexts are focused, especially from the 1980s, when begins the process of expansion in terms of amount of this academic production and geographic diversity as well as areas of expertise of the graduate programs in which they were defended. While these advances confirm the importance of approaches that consider the interdisciplinary and multifaceted character of literacy, there are contradictions that present significant challenges to researchers seeking both understand the permanence of motivations and pragmatic purposes as to proposing new themes, objects, theoretical and methodological aspects for the development of new research that are lacking, as diagnosed needs and desired progress, scientifically and socially.

Relações de gênero na escola: feminilidade e masculinidade na Educação Infantil

The text aims to refl ect about masculinity and femininity in children’s education, an almost entirely feminine environment, bringing fi ndings of a study that investigated the social relations of gender in this level of teaching in a school where a man worked as a teacher. Data was composed by observations of pedagogical practices of a woman teacher and a man teacher of Early Childhood Education. After that, those teachers, the pedagogical coordinator, the headmaster and a nursery worker were interviewed. Based on theoretical contributions about culture and gender, the paper shows that the masculine and the feminine identities and social roles for both sexes, historically, are human constructions that can be modifi ed, especially at school.

Efeitos da Ventilação Mecânica não Invasiva sobre a Modulação Autonômica Cardíaca

This review is intended to gather together recent studies that explore the effects of different types of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) on the autonomic nervous system, assessed through heart rate variability (HRV). A search for papers was conducted in the PubMed, PEDro, SciELO and Lilacs databases with the following descriptors: noninvasive ventilation, CPAP ventilation, intermittent positive pressure breathing and autonomic nervous system, for the period between 2008 and 2012. After eliminating papers not addressing the topic, we selected six studies, of which five applied NIV in CPAP mode and one used biphasic positive airway pressure. In general, the findings suggest that NIV promotes changes in autonomic modulation that are dependent on the conditions of the subjects analyzed and the time when these rates are assessed, meaning acute or long-term effects.

Brasil - Argentina e o Sistema Regional de Salvaguardas Nucleares

In 2011, the Brazilian-Argentine Agency for Accounting and Control of Nuclear Materials (ABACC), created to administer the Common System of Accounting and Control of Nuclear Material (CSAC) has completed twenty years of existence. ABACC and the Quadripartite Agreement established with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are a special system of safeguards that presents itself as an important example of regional contribution to global nuclear proliferation. The paper presents some considerations about the process of understanding between Brazil and Argentina that resulted in the creation of ABACC, indicates succinctly some theoretical explanations of international relations for this process and, from some features of the Agency, relates how the ABACC experience could support nuclear weapons free zones.

Função Pulmonar de pacientes submetidos a Cirurgia Bariátrica

Introduction: Obesity is a risk factor for postoperative pulmonary complications. Overweight can alter respiratory mechanics and decrease lung volumes and capacities. Bariatric surgery (BS) has been used as treatment for morbid obesity, but this surgery can lead to respiratory complications. Objective: To evaluate pulmonary function in morbid obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: The patients were submitted to pulmonary function testing, including slow and forced vital capacity (SVC and FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), Tiffenau index (FEV1/FVC), forced expiratory flow 25-75% (FEF25-75%) and maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure (MIP and MEP). Descriptive analysis was performed. Results: We evaluated 18 patients, mean age of 37.33 ± 11.23 years, height 1.65 ± 0.09 m, weight 125.92 ± 25.24 kg and BMI 46.34 ± 9 20 kg/m2 , SVC 100.64 ± 22.91%, FVC 102.04 ± 21.82%, FEV1 104.85 ± 22.16%, FEV1 /FVC 83.54 ± 6.63% and FEF25-75% 84.47 ± 25.74%, 99.75 ± 24.55 for MIP and MEP 102.12 ± 25.06 cmH2O. Conclusion: The bariatric surgery candidates had normal values for manovacuometry and spirometry.

FIESP: Forma de ser de uma entidade burguesa de caráter prussiano-colonial

O presente artigo procura analisar o posicionamento político-econômico da Federação das Indústrias do Estado de São Paulo diante do processo de reestruturação do Estado Brasileiro na década de 1990, e a correspondente inserção do país na nova etapa de acumulação do capital. A principal entidade da fração industrial da burguesia brasileira elabora uma proposta para o “Brasil Moderno”, que se baseia no resgate dos pressupostos liberais como conditio sine qua non para o desenvolvimento econômico e social do país. Tais propostas fazem coro com as diretrizes dos organismos burgueses internacionais, explicitadas através do documento intitulado Consenso de Washington, e reafirmam a condição do país como economia periférica e subordinada aos pólos centrais do capitalismo mundial.

A gestão e o trabalho associado no cooperativismo educacional

Em nossa pesquisa, propomo-nos a verificar, no âmbito de uma Cooperativa Educacional de Marília, como a gestão e o trabalho associado são organizados. O estudo encontra-se em andamento e a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental foram realizadas. O levantamento de dados empíricos está sendo efetuado por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada com os membros da comunidade escolar. Observamos que a gestão das cooperativas educacionais, quando alicerçada no trabalho associado, pauta-se na gestão democrática vivenciada pelo coletivo. Todavia, na sociedade capitalista, as diversas relações são hierarquicamente estabelecidas e, consequentemente, algumas cooperativas seguem essa forma de se organizar.

Oswald de Andrade e Tarsila do Amaral: poesia e pintura modernistas

The objective of the present text is to establish connections between literature and painting through the comparison between Oswald de Andrade’s poem “Longo da Linha” and Tarsila do Amaral’s painting “Palmeiras”, both belonging to the Brazilian Modernist movement Pau-Brasil. To emphasize also the step taken by the two artists, in Modernism, against the previous academicism, C. S. Peirce’s semiotics theory will be used as analytic basis to demonstrate, in Tarsila’s painting, a path towards planarity and stylization to produce quality effects, closer to the shape and the adventure of senses than to symbolization, whilst for Oswald, this same path leads to the presence of visualization as composition factor.

A maldição das palavras e o sujeito dilacerado de Marcelo Mirisola (2009)

There is an area in the Brazilian Contemporary Literature which is articulated according to the first person narrator who presents the problematic of the own creational action, the expression of a conflictual subjectivity divided between the vertiginous dive into itself – what would imply in a renounce of the world and the reality, where the authors’ work are their only matter – and the social participation - not as an awareness, but as the recognition of the limits and impasses which the real representation imposes on the creative writing. Therefore, this article proposes a reading on the novel O Azul do Filho Morto (2002) by Marcelo Mirisola, to try to situate him into the recent Brazilian literary production, as well as to reflect on his narrative the complex notion of authorship which is called into question on his novels, since they produce an intrincate imbrication between the fictional subject and the empirical image of the writer himself, breaking and confusing the limits between the fictional discourse and the extralinguistic reality which is evoked, manipulated, distorted and made unstable on his representational process.
