A regulação das relações de trabalho e o gerenciamento de recursos humanos em enfermagem

Este artigo tem a finalidade de discorrer sobre a regulação das relações de trabalho na enfermagem, subsidiando a prática gerencial do enfermeiro, no que se refere aos direitos e obrigações de empregados e empregadores, baseando-se na Consolidação das Leis Trabalhistas (CLT) e das normas constitucionais. Enfatiza algumas normatizações que suscitam dúvidas e conflitos no cotidiano profissional do enfermeiro, tais como: duração da jornada de trabalho, períodos de descanso intra e entre jornadas, horas extraordinárias, descanso semanal remunerado e alterações de turnos de trabalho, considerando que a conformação do exercício profissional com o processo legal amplia as possibilidades do enfermeiro atuar junto à equipe com mais propriedade e segurança, respeitando os direitos dos profissionais e dos clientes, reduzindo, ainda, eventuais problemas jurídicos inerentes aos direitos e deveres trabalhistas.

Macroanálise, regulação e o método uma alternativa ao holismo e ao individualismo metodológicos para uma macroeconomia histórica e institucionalista

Macro-analysis, regulation and the method: an alternative to the methodological holism and individualism to a historical and institutionalist macro-economy. The paper examines the epistemological conditions that make the "regulationist" macro-analysis a possible alternative to the traditional equilibrium approaches. It shows how these analyses allow to overcome the structure-agent dilemma as from the concept of contextual rationality and of a hol-individualist methodology that, combined with the notion of strong historicity, find wide theoretical basis in Bourdieu's sociology, in Braudel's works on economical history and in Lukács's ontology on the social being. The paper also explains its historical origins and concludes with a synthesis of the method and the necessary steps to accomplish this type of macroeconomics approach.

Regulação de indústrias de rede: entre flexibilidade e estabilidade

This paper explores the problems of an unstable regulatory regime in network industries and addresses the tension between the necessary flexibility in the long-term regulatory commitment and the need for institutional stability. A draft statute that substantively changes the initial terms under which fixed telecommunications services have been transferred to private companies - currently under discussion in the Brazilian Congress - is presented as an example of that tension. Some alternative proposals to tackle with universal service challenges - the underlying problem behind the mentioned draft statute - are presented in the end.
