Neste ensaio procuro desenvolver uma argumentação a favor da superação dos monismos metodológicos no campo da pesquisa em sociologia da educação. Com base no que Jeffrey Alexander (1987) denominou o "novo movimento teórico", defendo a necessidade de superar a divisão do trabalho de pesquisa entre os investigadores que se dedicam à microssociologia e os que preferem abordagens macrossociais. Nessa perspectiva, as opções teórico-metodológicas devem-se ancorar nas necessidades da investigação e não numa opção a priori do pesquisador por qualquer uma das alternativas.

Aborda-se a efetividade do processo de comunicação organizacional do qual fazem parte o sítio web da Unidade Técnica de Sistemas e Serviços de Saúde da Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde (HSD/OPAS). A abordagem adotada fundamenta-se nos padrões de comportamento informacional de usuários do sítio da HSD/OPAS como insumo para o seu delineamento, a partir da noção de sistemas de informação apoiados em tecnologia. Utiliza-se a Metodologia de Sistemas Flexíveis (MSF), de Peter Checkland, com enfoque sistêmico e fenomenológico na identificação de ações que podem agilizar o processo de comunicação estudado, levando em conta os padrões de comportamento informacional de seus atores. Conclui-se que a efetividade do processo de comunicação entre gestores do setor de saúde pública e o sítio web da OPAS pode resultar da inserção dos padrões de comportamento informacional de gestores como subsídio ao delineamento do sistema de informação disponível no sítio web da HSD.

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de pesquisa exploratória realizada no primeiro semestre de 2008 com micro e pequenos empresários na região do Barro Preto em Belo Horizonte, importante pólo da moda mineira. Para a coleta de dados, optou-se pela utilização de um questionário estruturado, com perguntas fechadas, o qual foi aplicado a nove empresários da região, escolhidos a partir dos seguintes critérios: (a) acessibilidade dos pesquisadores às fontes de dados; (b) tempo disponível para a coleta de dados; (c) importância do empreendimento para a região. Por ser um tipo de pesquisa predominantemente quantitativa, técnicas estatísticas foram utilizadas nas análises dos dados coletados. Os resultados revelaram que, em contextos competitivos turbulentos, é aconselhável um processo de monitoramento contínuo dos movimentos dos concorrentes (diretos e indiretos) e das mudanças macroambientais, coletando informações úteis para uma tomada de decisão estratégica cada vez mais eficaz que favoreça a manutenção de vantagens competitivas significativas nos mercados em que os empreendimentos estão inseridos ao longo do tempo.

Two models of a glass micro-extractor were constructed after modification of a model proposed in the literature. The two models were used for the simultaneous extraction and enrichment of organochlorinated pesticides from aqueous matrixes to an organic solution appropriate for the gas chromatographic analysis of the pesticide. It was established that the performance of one of the modified micro-extractors permits the pre-concentration of the pesticides to a level that allow their quantitation at the trace level with electron capture detection. It is thus concluded that the glass micro-extractor is a suitable tool for the sample preparation step in the gas chromatographic analysis of environmental pollutants of the class of pesticides.

The technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used for the extraction of halogenated contaminants of water samples from three cities of the State of São Paulo and the extracts were submitted to gas chromatographic analysis with electron capture detection (GC-ECD). In the samples of water collected at the city of São Paulo the detected level of trihalomethanes (THM) expressed as the sum of chloroform, dibromochloromethane and dichlorobromomethane, were higher than the permissible limit established by the Brazilian regulation. In the samples collected at the two other cities the level of any of the three THM remained below the sensitivity of the ECD.

The pyrethroids bifenthrin, permethrin, cypermethrin and deltamethrin were extracted by solid phase extraction (SPE) and solid phase microextraction (SPME). The analysis were performed on a gas chromatograph with electron capture detection (GC-ECD). Octadecil Silano-C18, Florisil and Silica stationary phases were studied for SPE. Better results were obtained for Florisil which gave recoveries from 80% to 108%. Pyrethroids extraction by SPME showed a linear response and a detection limit of 10 pg ml-1. Although the data showed that the two extraction methods were able to isolate the pesticide residues from water samples, the best results were obtained by using SPME which is more sensitive, faster, cheeper, being a more useful technique for the analysis of pyrethroids in drinking water.

A method for determination of lead and cadmium in aqueous samples using solvent microextraction and dithizone as complexing agent with FAAS was developed. Solvent microextraction parameters were optimized. The effect of foreign ions on the extraction yields was studied. The extraction was carried out until the aqueous to organic phase ratio achieved a 250 fold preconcentration of metals. For preconcentration times of 4 min the 3sigma detection limits, relative standard deviations (n=7) and linear calibration ranges were 1.6 mug L-1, 5.8% and 10.0 -- 80.0 mug L-1 for lead and 11.1 ng L-1, 5.9% and 0.3 -- 3.0 mug L-1 for cadmium, respectively. The solvent microextraction procedure presented here was applied to the determination of lead and cadmium in natural waters.

In this work a micro-heater device to be used as an integral part of the flow analysis manifold is described. The usefulness of the device was demonstrated using it in the development of a multicommutated flow analysis procedure for the spectrophotometric determination of manganese in plant digest. The method was based on the manganese oxidation by periodate in phosphoric acid medium to form the permanganate anion. The reaction development is dependent on the temperature and it was observed that at 25 °C a time interval of ca. 15 min was necessary for the reaction to attain equilibrium. Setting the temperature to 70 ºC, this time interval could be decreased to ca. 30 s. This condition was easily attained employing the proposed micro-heater device coupled to the manifold. The procedure was applied to manganese determination in soybean digests and results compared with those obtained by inductively coupled argon plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). No significant difference at 90% confidence level was observed. A linear response for sample concentrations ranging from 5.0 to 30.00 mg L-1 Mn2+; a relative standard deviation of 1.3% (n = 6) for a typical sample containing 6.3 mg L-1 Mn2+; a sampling rate of 22 determinations per hour; a low reagent consumption, of 12.0 mg NaIO4 per determination; and a detection limit of 1.2 mg L-1 were achieved.

Normally, the determination of equilibrium constants (k d) in batch experiments uses a high solution to soil ratio, which does not represent field conditions. In this study we present an alternative method to evaluate adsorption constants, using micro-columns of soil at higher soil to solution ratios. The centrifugation force and equilibration time were investigated. The triadimenol distribution along the column profile is controlled by diffusion and equilibration times greater than 24 h are needed to achieve reproducibility. The centrifugation force must be superior to 670 g in order to guarantee enough extraction of the liquid solution from the soil columns.

This work describes the mechanism of action of some reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in the oxidative stress of the human body, and their consequences on damage to DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids. It also illustrates the defense system of our organism against these ROS and RNS species. The action of nonenzymatic protection systems is reported, with emphasis on micromolecules like Q10 coenzyme, vitamin C, alpha-tocopherol, carotenoids and flavonoids. The importance of flavonoids is also emphasized, and their body protection mechanism is detailed.

This work describes a systematic study for bovine liver sample preparation for Cd and Pb determination by solid sampling electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Samples were prepared using different procedures: (1) drying in a household microwave oven followed by drying in a stove at 60 ºC until constant mass, and (2) freeze-drying. Ball and cryogenic mills were used for grinding. Particle size, sample size and micro sample homogeneity were investigated. All prepared samples showed good homogeneity (He < 10) even for low sample mass, but samples dried in a microwave oven/stove and ground in a ball mill presented the best homogeneity.
