Dilema da repetência e da evasão em escolas rurais de um município sergipano (2006-2008)

RESUMO: Diversos estudos realizados na área educativa têm demonstrado a importância de escolaridade para a melhoria da qualidade de vida das pessoas. Apesar disso, o alto índice de repetência e evasão escolar está presente em diversas escolas do país. Para tanto, este trabalho tem como tema central o dilema da repetência e da evasão em escolas rurais de um município sergipano. Assim, o trabalho desenvolve uma análise sobre os altos índices de evasão e de repetência em escolas rurais, apoiada numa revisão de literatura que discute essa temática. Participaram dessa pesquisa 10 alunos evadidos da 1° a 4° séries do Ensino Fundamental, no qual, o processo de coleta de dados foi a entrevista semi-estruturada, onde os questionamentos foram formulados através de um roteiro prévio de cinco questões. Através dessas questões, procurou-se discutir e refletir as causas da agravante repetência e evasão com alunos rurais, além da possibilidade de seus retornos às escolas vencendo os obstáculos que a educação local impõe. Trabalhamos também a história de vida de cada entrevistado. Por fim, buscou-se oferecer subsídios para a compreensão das condições em que educação rural se encontra. ABSTRACT: Several studies in the field of education have demonstrated the importance of education to improve the quality of life. Nevertheless, the high rate of grade repetition and dropping out is present in several schools in the country. Therefore, this work is focused on the dilemma of grade repetition and dropping out in rural schools in the municipality of Sergipe. Thus, this paper provides an analysis of the high grade repetition and dropout rates in rural schools, including a literature review which discusses this theme. Ten students who stopped their education after elementary school grades 1st to 4th participated in this study, where the process of data collection was a semi-structured interview with questions formulated from a script of the previous five questions. Through these questions, we sought to discuss and reflect upon the causes of aggravated student grade repetition and dropping out in rural areas, beyond the possibility of their return to the schools by overcoming the obstacles that the local education imposes. We worked also their life story. Finally, we attempted to provide background information on the conditions which constitute a rural education.

NI Draft Priorities and Budget Consultation 2006-2008 - Institute response

The Institute of Public Health in Ireland works to combat health inequalities and influence public policies in favour of health in Ireland, North and South. The Institute applies a holistic model of health which emphasises a wide range of determinants, including economic, educational, environmental, social and biological factors, as well as public services. The Institute’s work is based on the premise that improving health and reducing health inequalities in a sustainable way can only be achieved through addressing these broader determinants of health. We believe that the strategic direction of public spending in Northern Ireland has enormous potential to impact on people’s health, well being and prosperity.  We welcome the opportunity to comment on the draft priorities and the associated budget for 2006-2008 as set out in the consultation document.

Saving Mothers' Lives 2006-2008

The eighth Report of the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths in the UK investigates the deaths of 261 women who died in the triennium 2006-08, from causes directly or indirectly related to pregnancy. The full Report is available for purchase or download from the Centre for Maternal and Child Enquiries (CMACE; www.cmace.org.uk). Although every maternal death is a tragedy, particularly where avoidable factors were identified by the Enquiry process, the overall picture is encouraging. The maternal death rate in the UK continues to decline despite increasing pressures on maternity services and a changing maternal population. For the first time there has been a reduction in the inequalities gap between women living in different socio-economic circumstances, and timely production of guidelines and tools appears to have helped clinical staff to deliver improved clinical care.

Impact of human metapneumovirus infection on in and outpatients for the years 2006-2008 in Southern Brazil

The human metapneumovirus (hMPV), member of the Paramyxoviridae family, has been reported as an important agent involved with acute respiratory infections (ARIs). The aim of this study is to identify hMPV as the etiological agent of ARIs on in and outpatients in the city of Curitiba, Southern Brazil, and describe clinical data of hMPV subtyping. A retrospective study was performed in 1,572 respiratory samples over a period of three years. hMPV was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and subtyping was performed by nucleotide sequencing. hMPV was present in 61 (3.9%) samples and subtypes A1, A2a, B1 and B2 were detected. The incidence of hMPV was higher in outpatients (5.9%), whose mean age was 19.7 years (range 6 months-75 years old), than in inpatients (3%), whose mean age was 7.6 months (range 1 month-26 years old). The outpatients had upper respiratory tract infections with flu-like symptoms and all hospitalized children had lower respiratory tract infections. A pediatric patient died from complications associated with hMPV A2a infection. hMPV has been reported as a respiratory pathogen in all age groups. No correlation was observed between viral subtype and disease severity in the samples of this study.

State of Iowa Workforce Plan 2006-2008,

Iowa state government, as well as other state governments, other public jurisdictions and other employers in general, finds itself at the beginning of a unique demographic phenomenon, the aging of the workforce and the concomitant mass exodus of many workers. Anticipation of this trend alone has raised the profile of and interest in workforce planning. In 2000, the Iowa Department of Personnel, the predecessor agency of the Department of Administrative Services Human Resources Enterprise (DAS-HRE), undertook several initiatives as foundational steps in establishing a workforce planning program.

Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network Final Report 2006-2008

The Iowa Influenza Surveillance Network (IISN) tracks the overall activity, age groups impacted, outbreaks, type and strain, and severity of seasonal influenza. In the 2006-2007 season the network had more than 90 reporting sites that included physicians, clinics, hospitals, schools and long term care facilities (Appendix A). Other non-network reporters who contributed influenza data included medical clinics, hospitals, laboratories, local public health departments and neighboring state health departments. 010203040506070424548495051521234567891011121314MMWR weekNumber of cases2006-20072005-2006 The 2006-2007 influenza season in Iowa began earlier than any previously recorded data indicates, however, the season’s peak occurred much later in the season. In addition to early cases, this season was also unusual in that all three anticipated strains (AH1N1, AH3N2, and B) were reported by the first of December (Appendix B). The first laboratory-confirmed case in the 2005-2006 season was identified December 5, 2005; the first case for the 2006-2007 season was on November 2, 2006. The predominant strain for 2005-2006 was influenza AH3, but for 2006-2007 both influenza AH1 and B dominated influenza infections. However improvements in influenza specimen submission to the University Hygienic Laboratory may have also played a role in early detection and overall case detection. In summary, all influenza activity indicators show a peak between the MMWR weeks 5 and 9 (i.e. February 14- March 4). Children from five years to eight years of age were impacted more than other age groups. There were few influenza hospitalizations and fatalities in all age groups.

Traumatic Brain Injury in Iowa: An Analysis of Core Surveillance Data 2006-2008, July 15, 2011

Termed the “silent epidemic”, traumatic brain injury is the most debilitating outcome of injury characterized by the irreversibility of its damages, long-term effects on quality of life, and healthcare costs. The latest data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that nationally 50,000 people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) die each year; three times as many are hospitalized and more than twenty times as many are released from emergency room departments (ED) (CDC, 2008)1. The purpose of this report is to describe the epidemiology of TBI in Iowa to help guide policy and programming. TBI is a result of an external force which transfers energy to the brain. Stroke is caused by a disruption of blood flow in the brain that leads to brain injury. Though stroke is recognized as the 3rd leading cause of death nationally2, and is an injury that affects the brain it does not meet the definition a traumatic brain injury and is not included in this report.

Extracción de compuestos con actividad antioxidante de frutos de guayaba cultivada en Vélez-Santander, Colombia

The effects of the extraction system (50% methanol or 50% methanol pH 2.0), volume/material ratio, temperature, time and extractions with 70% acetone were evaluated in the total phenolic compounds (TPC) extraction and in antioxidant activities (AA) using FRAP and ABTS assays in guava fruit. The best yield was obtained when 0.5 g of guava were extracted first with 20 mL 50% methanol and then four times with 20 mL 70% acetone during 30 min at 50 °C. Among the different trials guava fruit exhibited high levels of AA as well as TPC.

The Autism Acceptance Project fonds, 2006-2008

The Autism Acceptance Project was established in 2006 by Estee Klar, an art curator, writer and mother to a child labeled autistic. The Project “is dedicated to promoting acceptance of and accommodations for autistic people in society.” TAAP has an autistic advisory board, and is funded by private donations. In 2006, TAAP organized an exhibition, The Joy of Autism: Redefining Ability and Quality of Life. The event displayed the work of a dozen autistic artists, as well as video and other installations which illustrated the burgeoning autistic rights movement and forwarded the concept of Neurodiversity.
