A eficiência da descentralização na computação forense do Departamento de Polícia Técnica do Estado da Bahia

Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar até que ponto o processo de descentralização adotado pelo Departamento de Polícia Técnica da Bahia (DPT-BA) foi eficiente no atendimento às demandas de perícias de Computação Forense geradas pelas Coordenadorias Regionais de Polícia Técnica (CRPTs) do interior do Estado. O DPT-BA foi reestruturado obedecendo aos princípios da descentralização administrativa, seguindo a corrente progressista. Assumiu, com a descentralização, o compromisso de coordenar ações para dar autonomia às unidades do interior do Estado, com a criação de estruturas mínimas em todas as esferas envolvidas, com ampla capacidade de articulação entre si e com prestação de serviços voltados para um modelo de organização pública de alto desempenho. Ao abordar a relação existente entre a descentralização e a eficiência no atendimento à demanda de perícias oriundas do interior do estado da Bahia, o estudo, por limitações instrumentais, se manteve adstrito ao campo das perícias de Computação Forense, que reflete e ilustra, de forma expressiva, o cenário ocorrido nas demais áreas periciais. Inicialmente foram identificadas as abordagens teóricas sobre descentralização, evidenciando as distintas dimensões do conceito, e, em seguida, sobre a Computação Forense. Foram realizadas pesquisa documental no Instituto de Criminalística Afrânio Peixoto (Icap) e pesquisa de campo por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com juízes de direito lotados nas varas criminais de comarcas relacionadas ao cenário de pesquisa e com peritos criminais das Coordenações Regionais, das CRPTs e da Coordenação de Computação Forense do Icap. Correlacionando os prazos de atendimento que contemplam o conceito de eficiência  definido pelos juízes de direito entrevistados, clientes finais do trabalho pericial  e os prazos reais  obtidos mediante a pesquisa documental  os dados revelaram alto grau de ineficiência, morosidade e inadimplência, além de realidades discrepantes entre capital e interior. A análise das entrevistas realizadas com os peritos criminais revelou um cenário de insatisfação e desmotivação generalizadas, com a centralização quase absoluta do poder decisório, demonstrando que o processo de descentralização praticado serviu, paradoxalmente, como uma ferramenta de viabilização e camuflagem da centralização.

A importância intrínseca dos finais de semana: a influência das experiências de recuperação na tomada de decisão dos trabalhadores

A vida fora do trabalho tem um grande impacto em como os indivíduos se sentem e se comportam no trabalho (Sonnentag, 2003). Alguns pesquisadores já sugeriram a existência de uma relação entre as experiências vividas por um indivíduo em períodos fora do trabalho - especificamente os finais de semana - e o desempenho do mesmo no trabalho (De Lange et al., 2003; Sonnentag & Frese, 2003; Jex, 1998), porém nenhum se aprofundou na pesquisa desta relação. Neste sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo entender como as experiências vividas nos finais de semana pelos trabalhadores podem influenciar a eficácia decisória de um indivíduo no começo da semana seguinte. As hipóteses do estudo propõem um modelo mediacional entre estas variáveis, sendo o estado emocional do indivíduo em questão a variável mediadora desta relação. Esta variável foi determinada devido a relação intrínseca das emoções com a racionalidade (Damasio, 1994), o fato da tomada de decisão envolver processos que dependem das emoções (Naqvi et al., 2006) e, ainda, pois sabe-se o estado emocional do indivíduo no trabalho pode ser influenciado por fatores fora do trabalho (Binnewies, Sonnentag, & Mojza, 2009; Demerouti, Taris, & Bakker, 2007; Heller & Watson, 2005; Rothbard & Wilk, 2006; Williams & Alliger, 1994). Participaram do estudo 194 trabalhadores de diferentes organizações. Os dados foram analisados através de modelos de regressão hierárquica e os resultados apontam para a existência de relações indiretas entre as experiências do final de semana e a eficácia decisória dos indivíduos. Nenhuma situação de mediação desta relação foi identificada. Os resultados demonstram que as experiências vividas por um indivíduo durante o seu final de semana influenciam diretamente o seu estado emocional do começo da semana de trabalho seguinte e estas emoções, por sua vez, tem relação direta com a eficácia decisória do mesmo, podendo agir como um fator facilitador ou complicador da tomada de decisão.

Perfil motivacional da geração Y comparado ao de outros grupos etários: investigação em uma instituição financeira nacional

A presente dissertação investiga o perfil motivacional de empregados de uma grande instituição financeira brasileira, inseridos no corte demográfico designado de “Geração Y” (Y’s). Tal perfil foi comparado ao de empregados pertencentes a outros grupos etários da mesma instituição. Para dar suporte à pesquisa, o referencial teórico analisa os cortes geracionais – com enfoque na Geração Y – e diferentes visões sobre o tema da motivação, bem como debate a importância do conhecimento do perfil motivacional desses empregados, para uma adequada formulação de estratégias de motivação laboral. Secundariamente, para essa análise a pesquisa busca auxílio na teoria do contrato psicológico de trabalho. Na coleta de dados da pesquisa foi utilizada a Escala de Valores de Schwartz (Schwartz Value Survey), em sua versão PVQ – Portrait Value Questionnaire, com o objetivo de prescrutar os tipos motivacionais mais relevantes dos Y’s e seus cohorts, permitindo-se, com isso, traçar um perfil motivacional de cada grupo demográfico. Com base na amostra coletada, o estudo conclui que não há evidência sobre a existência de diferenças no perfil motivacional, sob o ponto de vista estatístico, entre os cortes geracionais dentro da organização pesquisada.

Família e TV: mais que dominação e subordinação.

This work analises the social relationship between Television and the Family though the resignification of individuals about Television messages and the speeches that they make about Family. Firstly, the objective is to understand if the principles, values and beliefs constructed and communicated (repassed) inside the Family filter the messages from the Mass Media. Secondly, if there still exists a family culture able to forge identity against so many cultural exchanges. Thirdly, what the function of this identity in the production of senses is. In session 1 and 2, a general approach about the dissemination of Mass Media in Society and the pertinence of the work is presented. Session 3 is about the method used: a qualitative research, with thirteen families from Natal-RN, situated in the Middle Class. The theorical base is considered in the fourth session where the reference to the evolution of the Family is made, with enphasis on the Middle Class and some theories that analyze the pheomenom of the Mass Media , specially in the second half of twentieth century. In session 5 and 6, the research data is presented and analyzed. Finally, in the last session, as a conclusion it can be said that the value of the Family as emotional support is reforced by the speeches and practices that interfere in the signification procces, singular aspects, as well as the social repertoire constructed per si and by institutions (including the family) moreover, mediative message is assimilated by the receiver and becomes understood inside the learned speeches during the receiver‟s history of life, although these messsages are also components in the construction of these repertoire.

Bioética e biodireito: interfaces e confluências

This thesis addresses the development of technoscience in times of transnational globalization and highlights the vulnerability of the discourse of social progress, which may be replaced by evidence of social risk before the artificiality of nature and humanity. That demands an ethical and legal responses to events that impose the necessity of an ethical control in biotechnology research involving human beings contributing to the rise of Bioethics and Biolaw as fields of knowledge. This theme is studied from a multidisciplinary perspective seeking a dynamic dimension in the interpretation of research data reconnecting Social Sciences to Legal Sciences (Biolaw) and to Philosophy (Bioethics), in order to obtain answers to the problems posed. The objective delimited is to examine the interfaces between Biolaw and Bioethics, in order to observe the confluence of these areas of knowledge. Biolaw is considered as a new legal branch derived from the paradigmatic transition of Law and wonders how it will stand before questions resulting of social transformations caused by biotechnological development that endangers humans and society. It is concluded that the relationship between Bioethics and Biolaw is recursive and inseparable and it contributed to the "unthink" of traditional legal model of linear view/reductionist allowing that the "certainties" will be replaced by "possibilities", which comes to enable Biolaw to confront the issues caused by the development of biotechnology that violates physically and morally the human person. It is perceived, therefore, that Biolaw is driven and aided by bioethical reflections and it positions itself before the dilemmas caused by biotechnology in creating, interpreting and applying coercive rules which aims to protect the human being, his offspring and society

Desenvolvimento e autonomia das mulheres: uma avaliação do POPMR na região oeste potiguar - 2008/2012

The dissertation evaluates about Rural Women s Productive Organization Program effectiveness of Western Rio Grande do Norte(2008-2012). Specifically, it has aimed to: 1) Describe about Rural Women s Productive Organization Program characteristics in Western Potiguar Region; 2) Investigate which social economic changes the program has caused in Rural Women s lives from Western Potiguar Region; 3) Evaluate whether women s participation in the feminist social movement has contributed in order to facilitate access to the program; 4) evaluate whether rural women s participation from western Potiguar region in POPMR has provoked some questions in relation to labor sexual division in policy all female users or whether it has amplified their capacities for their economical autonomy conquest. The evaluation has been as reference the development concept as freedom according to Amartya Sen (2000) and labor sex division sustained by separation and hierarchy activities performed by men and women according to Kergoat (2009). The qualitative character investigation was made up by a bibliographical and documental research, semi-structured interviews and focal group. The interviews with female mediator agents and female public managers have demonstrated the paths how to create the program by explaining the difficulties and possibilities. The research was concluded with focal groups that had accessed POPMR in western region. With the methodological instruments used, it was possible to achieve the results: The research data show that POPMR has contributed for the region development specifically by expanding rural women s capacities. However, there are still some difficulties which could be overcome with a state actualization, as policies for home labor and home labor care socialization. In this way, the infrastructure construction for production and reproduction must be based on a kind of legislation for a small production which are indispensable elements for a bigger effective policy for women in a rural environment

Nas asas de Ícaro: uma análise da Pedagogia Freinet do 2º ao 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental na perspectiva da ação docente continuada

Célestin Freinet was one of the most memorable educators of the twentieth century. He presented some educational alternatives that had the objective of stimulating the construction of pedagogic actions to promote the social development of the student based upon a work centered on the free expression as the way to self-structure the knowledge. With a permanent proposal of research based on the enquiry-based learning, Freinet set human capacity (cognitive, social-affective, psychometrical) taking cooperation in consideration on the processes of knowledge construction. Based on this referential, this present work has the objective to show Freinet s pedagogy in a continuous teaching action from 2nd to 5th grade focusing the teacher s discourse and also the educative practice of the students of a city public school in Natal. The observed work revealed the teacher s discourse and educative experience and delineated the students development while immersed into Freinet s educational practice. By virtue of the nature and specificity of the theme that guided our research, we chose a qualitative approach to it, as a way of conducting ourselves during our investigative process. We observed and analyzed the method that was used to conduct the activities in the classroom, as well as the ways of expression that the children used through drawings, words (oral text), or through writing. We highlight, among the written texts, the individual and collective texts, and also letters and notes, which during some moments served as a base to express a diversity of languages. The results, after a analyzing the research data, point towards a teaching practice that favors the construction of a significant learning process through the grasping of the school environment, on which all these factors are based: society, knowledge acquisition, abilities, attitudes and values. This learning process also strengthens human solidarity bonds and mutual tolerance, on which the student s social life is seated.

Os jogos com regras na perspectiva do desenho universal: contribuições à educação matemática inclusiva

To think about a school that is for everyone has been a challenge for many people connected to education worldwide demanding from researchers of each level of knowledge an association to such effort. The study presented on this paper unites itself to the voices, movements and researches of these scholars, seeking to contribute on building possibilities on which mathematics can be thought and worked on schools in order for every student to learn, whether they have some sort of deficiency, disorders, syndromes or not. This essay has the goal to investigate the possibilities of inclusive pedagogical practices mediated by math games with rules, developed and used throughout the Universal Design perspective; a qualitative research took place with a collaborative methodology that involved managers, teachers and students from a public school situated on the city of Natal/Brazil. On the investigation math games with rules were developed and made according to the Universal Design concept, starting from initial studies which articulated theoretical groundings to the reality of school and the teacher s conceptions. After that, classes using these tools were planned collectively which oriented inclusive pedagogical practices of classes from the 1st to the 4th year of elementary school. Throughout the process many instruments such as: tape recording, video footages, notes from the researcher; the teachers and the students were used for constant work evaluation and also to record the research data. In the end, the data indicated effective contributions of the mediated pedagogical practices by games with rules under the perspective of Universal Design for Inclusive Mathematics Education

O conhecimento e as atitudes das famílias de pacientes em tratamento em tuberculose na atenção primária à saúde

This study thus sought to examine knowledge about TB and attitudes of patients families in disease treatment in Primary Health Care in Natal- RN. To this end, a cross-sectional study was undertaken through a questionnaire with families of patients diagnosed with TB and follow up by APS from Natal. The study subjects were recruited from a non-probabilistic way, by convenience, contemplating a sample of 50 families. Among the criteria considered for inclusion of subjects, older than 18 years were considered, as well as residing with the TB patient and in Natal and availability to participate in the research. Data collection was performed by own researcher and an assistant, through a questionnaire with families of patients diagnosed with TB following the double independent digitalization of data. In the analytical phase, was initially conducted an exploratory phase and univariate data, with description of the position measurements (mean, median, mode) and dispersion (confidence interval and standard deviation). In bivariate analysis, it was conducted an intersection of dependent variables of knowledge e and changes of attitude dichotomous, with each of the independent variables, using contingency tables and calculating the chi-square test and, when appropriate, the Fisher exact test. In 2x2 tables, calculated the odds ratio (OR) with confidence intervals of 95% (95% CI). From the selected sample, 43 (86%) subjects were female, average age and median respectively of 46.64 and 46.50 years, 25 (50%) had elementary school. The knowledge expressed by family members about TB was considered satisfactory. However, the lack of interest of the family (54%) in seeking information about tuberculosis; the wrong way of reply in relation to the organism causing the disease (64%); the water content (62%) and contaminated food (54% ) as a means of spreading TB was a weakness identified in the investigation. Regarding the time of transmission, 90% of respondents indicated not know or answered wrong. From investigated independent variables, only two were associated with lack of knowledge of TB, and they did not have religion (OR: 0.146, 95% CI: 0.027 to 0.800) and income below 1, 7 minimum wages (OR: 0.155, 95% CI: 0.029 to 0.813). Thus they seem to exercise a protective effect on this outcome. As for the changes in attitude, most of the found variables had no association with statistical significance, except no internet access (OR: 0.212, 95% CI: 0,048-0, 935). Most attitudes were positive in relation to TB patient. Results have demonstrated weaknesses in TB care, which has taken on a more individual and welfare character. Data not only express health outcomes produced by health services, but also the political and social situation of the families that are affected by TB

Imagem sócio-ambiental do bairro de Cidade Nova, Natal-RN, por seus moradores

This dissertation investigates how the neighborhood of Cidade Nova, located in the western side of the of Natal, is perceived by its residents in order to understand its socio-environmental image, intending to contribute both to define strategies of urban intervention and environmental education in the area and to consolidate a methodology that addresses this kind of problem. The completion of field research used a multimethod strategy to study the socio-environmental image of urban areas. It consists of: (a) review of local history from literature research, data recorded by the City Hall, news published on the city's newspapers and interviews with former inhabitants, (b) application of questionnaires to inhabitants including emotions, visual perception, memory and local social activities, (c) development of a drawing of the district, (d) conducting focus groups with inhabitants, using as a starting point the results obtained in the previous activities. In steps "b" and "c" attended 32 neighborhood residents, 16 of them being Community Health Workers and other 16 persons appointed by them. In step "d" 10 individuals took part, divided into two groups. The result of the research showed a picture of residents coincident with the image conveyed by the media in relation to the issues: violence, garbage, public policy/social support and appreciation of the beauties of environmental (dunes and Parque da Cidade park). Although Cidade Nova has been regarded as a dirty, noisy and dangerous place, most of the participants say they enjoy living on the neighborhood. Overall, the results corroborate and gain theoretical explanations, as they are interrelated. The socio-environmental image is expressed for instance in the elements dunes, dump, railroad tracks and Central Avenue that gain symbolic connotation influenced by time and socio-economic context. The insecurity and other negative characteristics assigned by the inhabitants and the media are parallel to the place attachment, since the environmental legibility, the time/familiarity and territoriality offer inhabitants the preference for place of residence, setting up their social identity.
