O Trabalho e o labirinto da responsabilidade socioempresarial:a experiência da cidadania empresarial do Banco do Brasil

In the current systemic crisis, economic policy is directed to correct the consequences of the functioning of this metabolism, but within the limits of the capital. From this perspective, decision makers propose trade policies, agricultural and industrial to ensure conditions for economic growth. However, as a dead end, there is failure of the State in giving efficacy to the operation of all segments of the economy, especially given the budget constraint. Public managers are forced to seek external resources, resuming the cycle of political allegiance to the interests of international financial and banking representatives, installed in so-called multilateral. The complex ideological capital comes into play in trying to convince society that the paths taken by governments are inevitable, and that capitalism can be "humanized", even with the realization of the growing inequalities caused by historical irrationalism of the production process of capital . In this sense, emerging concepts that attempt to demonstrate the compatibility of the system to real human needs. This ideological offensive is intended to legitimize the capital. The so-called third sector has a special highlight with the concept of corporate social responsibility. It creates a political environment in which the inevitable mix-up with new illusions offered by and often funding the metabolism of capital in order to perpetuate this system. In this context, political elites, and considerable portions of the academy, embark on "waves of capitalist optimism," while the sociometabolismo capital expands its historical limits, driving forces postponing their collapse, but that cause human suffering and ecological stress. Wars are disseminated to strengthen the deadly war industry and the automobile industry; and devastating the environment of which depends the capital system. In this scenario disassemble, propositions emerge around a "new social pact" in order to minimize the adverse effects of the dynamics of reproduction of capital. The business class is called to exercise its role through the discourse that appeals to social responsibility programs, in order to intervene directly in the "social question". The core of this research is precisely this point. Although there is considerable scholarship on the phenomenon of Social Responsibility and Corporate Citizenship, there is also an evident lack of this approach focused on the banking sector in Brazil. The importance of rentier capital increased ownership of shares in the wealth produced by all of Brazilian society, justifies a sociological research project on Social Responsibility in the domestic financial sector. In this sense, it was decided to perform a dynamic approach to the "Corporate Citizenship" in the banking industry, specifically in the Bank of Brazil. As this is a key institution, is important analyze of the impacts of this strategy fetish of capitalist reproduction, in order to evaluate the social legitimization of rentier capital in Brazil. In this scenario of the abundance of the discourse on social responsibility there exist a progressive impoverishment of professional work in this segment in Brazil. There is a dramatic mismatch between rhetoric and practice because of the trend of deepening vulnerability of the working conditions of the Brazilian bank worker, from the 1990's. In the specific case of the Bank of Brazil, the first initiative of the institution was to conform to the principles of the UNO and the Ethos Institute, aiming to align their domestic policies to this new strategy of domination of capital. The purpose is to place the Bank in the ideological sphere of corporate social responsibility, just as with its partners in the private financial intercapitalist competition. Indeed, in the internal ambit of the Bank of Brazil, there is a policy to adjust its functional segments to the doctrine of Social Corporate Responsibility. The concepts of this doctrine is presented as something inexorable. There are no alternatives. The Bank of Brazil operates in a highly competitive market, the segment featuring the dominance of financial capital accumulation today. For this reason it can not fail to incorporate the technological advances organizational. For employees there is no alternative but to adapt to this new set of ideas proposed by the metabolism of capital

Qualidade de vida de pessoas com úlcera venosa: associação dos aspectos sociodemográficos, de saúde, assistência e clínicos da lesão

Venous ulcer (VU) is a lower limbs injury resulting from inadequate return of venous blood in feet or legs. Although it is not a deadly disease, it causes chronic wounds, which seriously undermine patients´ quality of life (QOL) and sometimes leads to drastic family, social, economic and psychological changes. In this sense, there are several aspects that may influence the venous ulcers patients´ QOL. The study´s objective aimed on the association of socio-demographic and health, health care and clinical injury on UV patients‟ QOL. Analytical studies, which consider the complexity of factors involved in changes in UV patients‟ QOL has a cross-sectional and quantitative approach. The HUOL Ethics Committee approved this project (n.279/09). The collection of data lasted a period of 3 months in 2010 and it took place at the clinic of Angiology at Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes (HUOL). The data sample consisted of 60 patients treated by UV angiologists in the HUOL Surgical Clinic. The results were analyzed with SPSS 15.0 by descriptive and inferential statistics. The study was based on UV patients that were predominantly female, average age of 61.4 years, that had low education level and low family income, with occupations requiring long periods of standing or sitting, but mostly retired, unemployed or laid off due to the disease and/or due to chronic diseases associated with the UV. The study took also into consideration patients that used inappropriate products, that were improperly treated by a professional caregiver, that lacked of adequate guidance and compression therapy, that performed no lifting of the lower limbs and regular exercise, that the time of injury were greater than or equal to six months, that were missing specific laboratory tests. The study‟s reference were on recurrent lesions, medium to large lesions area, bed of the lesion (injuries) with fibrin and/or necrosis, with amount of exudate with medium to large, odorless and no signs of infection, with tissue loss between 1st and 2nd degree, without collecting swab or biopsy and with pain. In general, QOL of researched individuals were considered low, the maximum score was 69 points, which the areas that were mostly influenced were the total scores of QOL functional capacity (0.021), emotional (0.000) and social functioning (0.080). Of the 60 individuals, 53.3% had scores between 40 and 69 points in SF-36, and they had the best scores in sociodemographic and health variables (ρ = 0.049). In respect to the assistance and injury characteristics, patients who scored between 40 and 69 points in SF-36 had better scores on these characteristics. By combining the socio-demographic variables, health, and handling characteristics of the injury, we observed a significant difference (ρ = 0.032) when linking them with the QOL total scores. When analyzing separately the domains of the SF-36 scores on the quality of life, we find that the areas that showed statistical significance were functional ability (ρ = 0.035), appearance (ρ = 0.019), emotional (ρ = 0.000), and mental health (ρ = 0.050). Among the socio-demographic characteristics studied, gender and marital status contributed more to the reduction of QOL and among the variables of assistance and the injury, orientation, reference and area of UV contributed the most. By analyzing these five variables all together in accordance with the overall score obtained in the quality of life, we found a significant correlation (ρ = 0.002); with 6.23 times more chances of patients have better QOL in the presence of these five positive factors. By conducting the Mann Whitney U test between all the five demographic variables, health, and clinical care, we found that this combination also proved to be significant (ρ = 0.006). Therefore, patients with these five variables positive tend to have a better QOL. Based on these results, we reject the null hypothesis (H0) and accept the alternative hypothesis (H1) proposed in this study because we noted that the QOL of patients with UV is associated with sociodemographic and health, health care and clinical aspects of the injury

O acolhimento como promoção da saúde entre pacientes com câncer

Cancer has been affecting people all around the world; disregard sex, ethnicity or social class. Despite the fact it is not always deadly, to be diagnosed and treated of cancer brings a lot of physical, emotional and social suffering, specially for those with less economic resources. Considering the complexity of the problem, there has been perceived that medical treatment is not enough to support cancer patients. There is an increasing understanding about their necessity of integral care, supposed to be given by a multidisciplinary health care equip that can consider all the different aspects involved in the illness process. Everyone has a particular way of been ill or healthy, and gives different meanings to the experienced events. The starting point of the research was the contact with a called work `group of shelter', developed with cancer patients by a multidisciplinary health care equip working on the LIGA Norte Riograndense Contra o Câncer. The research goal is to identify meanings people give to the shelter they receive in the group and to understand the way they experience the disease. Considering it singularity of this process, one worked with individually half-structuralized interviews, carried through with nine patients of the chemotherapy clinics and suck, that they had passed for the experience of the group of shelter, having approached getting ill, the treatment, the shelter and the recreation of the psychosocial processes (or not) after all this process. It was chosen as focus of analysis the creation of psychosocial processes and production of felt of these social actors through its discourse analysis perspective, boarded in accordance with the following thematic axles: the experience of the cancer, the shelter and recreation of the psychosocial processes the life. It was found that shelter has an extensive meaning going beyond the the group and involving others besides the multidisciplinary health care equip, and being important to give each patient the best possible benefit. It was also identified the importance of other social actors, such as relatives, friends and neighbors; added of religious faith, mentioned by all interviewees. It is to be considered the recovering capacity shown by eight interviewees, demonstrated by changing the way of interacting with others, getting new values and behaviors, and demonstrating more wisdom. We can consider the possibility of making this strategy to become part of the everyday practices of others health services working with cancer patients, what we think can help to minimize their suffering

Estudo psicanalítico sobre a feminização da epidemia do HIV/AIDS com usuários do Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar os processos de subjetivação de mulheres sem parceiro fixo à exposição ao vírus HIV/ Aids para identificar fatores sobredeterminantes de vulnerabilidade. Utilizamos como método o estudo de caso, visando uma análise em profundidade, que permitisse identificar um maior número de determinantes subjetivos relacionados com a problemática considerada. O estudo apresenta fragmentos de casos clínicos de mulheres vivendo com Aids, internadas nas enfermarias do Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto (HUJBB), no Estado do Pará, Brasil. A partir da análise da transferência e da contratransferência, apontamos como resultado o que cada caso em sua singularidade, desvela a partir do encontro terapêutico: No caso Clínico I, encontramos que a paciente, a qual chamamos Dinah, apresentava um modo de subjetivação psicopatológico masoquista feminino, que faz com que ela demonstre certa satisfação quando se expõe ao sofrimento, se posicionando como vítima em seus relacionamentos afetivos e sexuais, sobre determinados pela identificação imaginária com ideais culturais sobre o ser mulher, concebendo imagens de homens e mulheres, e, portanto, suas e de seu parceiro, como pares antitéticos de força/fraqueza, atividade/passividade, poder/submissão. Esse ideal de eu compósito de mulher virgem e de um homem só, levou Dinah a negar seus temores de contaminação, aceitar passivamente relações desprotegidas, atribuindo à iniciativa sexual a seu parceiro e, tornando-se vulnerável a infecção pelo HIV. No caso Clínico II, Alice, submetida a um modo de subjetivação melancólico, auto-destrutivo, se posicionava nas relações afetivas e sexuais procurando incessantemente sua auto-destruição pela própria vulnerabilidade inconsciente à contaminação pelo HIV. Tendo contraído o vírus e contaminado seu marido e, demais parceiros, mesmo após saber de seu diagnóstico, Alice permanecia aprisionada em um silêncio mortífero, impedindo-se de cuidar de sua saúde e procurar atendimento médico contínuo, tornando-se vulnerável à reinfecção. O Caso III, Ana Laura, é de uma mulher que sofreu inúmeras violências desde a infância, como abuso sexual infantil, exploração do trabalho doméstico e, abandono pelos pais. Após ter tido seu primeiro filho, este lhe foi retirado sem seu consentimento, pela tia materna que o deu a terceiros, razão alegada por Ana Laura, para prostituir-se no cais do porto da cidade de Belém, onde trabalhou até bem pouco tempo antes de sua internação. Lá onde a negociação por sexo mais caro sem preservativo era prática comum, Ana Laura negociou sua vida, vendendo sexo sem preservativo, assim se infectando. O desamparo e as violências sofridas por esta paciente são, portanto, sobredeterminantes de sua vulnerabilidade à infecção pelo HIV. Como conclusões, destacamos que as mulheres atendidas sem parceiro fixo, não apresentaram maior facilidade para se protegerem, estando em desacordo com os estudos que apontam que estas mulheres negociam o preservativo com maior liberdade e estão menos vulneráveis, demonstrando a importância de estudos que abordem os aspectos psíquicos, sociais, políticos e culturais, de maneira a desvelar os modos de produção de subjetividade dos sujeitos em sua singularidade, para além da mensuração de dados, a fim de estabelecer estratégias de prevenção em saúde mais eficazes.

O mito de Ulisses em Se questo è un uomo

Este trabalho parte do mito de Ulisses retomado por Dante e se concentra na leitura feita por Levi do canto dantesco , bem como da (re) elaboração da última aventura do herói grego no contexto da história pessoal do escritor. Trata-se de um moderno Ulisses apresentando uma visão moderna do Inferno. Em Dante, Ulisses está entre as almas condenadas a pagar eternamente seus pecados e, ao mesmo tempo, testemunhas e narradores, capazes de contar o processo da própria morte. Neste sentido, o viajante grego tornou-se , a partir da publicação da obra de memória do Holocausto escrita por Primo Levi, o símbolo do testemunho dos campos de concentração. O exemplo clássico da presença de Dante na narrativa de Levi é o capítulo XI do livro Se questo è un uomo , intitulado “Il canto di Ulisse”, onde prosa e poesia se encontram. O mito de Ulisses, que representa a exaltação do homem inteligente, ávido de conhecimento, que chega às portas do grande mistério da existência humana torna-se, em Levi, um instrumento didático. Recitar uma poesia assume, no universo do campo de concentração, o valor de um ato político e humano, uma afirmação coletiva dos valores que aquele sistema pretendia destruir.
