Reflexões sobre a interação entre estado e sociedade civil na política de criança e adolescente no município de São Paulo

A Constituição de 1988 trouxe em seu espírito e texto a participação social na elaboração e implementação de políticas públicas. Entretanto, a realização desse espírito não acontece sem que emerjam diferentes conflitos entre Estado e sociedade civil nos processos de tomada de decisão. Os conselhos de direitos, como o Conselho Municipal dos Direitos de Crianças e Adolescentes de São Paulo, e os conselhos de políticas sociais são o locus privilegiado da interação da sociedade civil e do Poder Público na definição e no controle das políticas públicas. Ainda, as parcerias entre Estado e organizações da sociedade civil perdem oportunidade e potência por responderem também a essa lógica deficiente da participação social. Isso é o que nos mostra a experiência do Fundo Municipal dos Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente de São Paulo.

A onda do turismo na cidade do sol: a reconfiguração urbana de Natal

Space reading of Natal City and its reconfiguration from the intensification of tourist activity and the expansion of the services' sector, transiting, primarily, through the geography, the social sciences, the economy, in one main approach that is unaware of science's traditional limitations and recognizes the complexity that involves current world. In face of this agreement it analyzes the social-economic implications that remodel the spaces under the new economic view of services' sector, commanded by the tourism, in an intense process of city's reconfiguration, concentrating in three great axles and their irrigation ways. These changes were about the public-private relation (by the public politics) in the formation of new spaces and in the remodeling of the city's old areas, which, together, had contributed to the tourist activity's appropriation, returning it in a social-economic mosaic that owns obvious reflexes in its space. This fragmentation in the urbane cloth of Natal is expressed by social nature and economic points and, in the scenery, is manifested through the modern forms of city's space occupation by the local elites and services' sector, evidencing their status' district, as well as selecting those areas with bigger capacity to reply to the capital

Responsabilidade civil como função social na distribuição e revenda de combustível face ao direito do consumidor e ao meio ambiente

The civil liability of the distribution and retail fuel stems from the fact business activity developed to be high risk and can be said as risk inherent or latent danger that has predictability and normality characterized by placing the consumer in a position of vulnerability, such as the environment, both public policies defined and constitutional protection. Consumer protection as a fundamental right and the environment as the primacy of social order aims the welfare and social justice, as inserted right to the third dimension, are guarded by the State when it creates operational standards through public policies and indirectly intervenes in the economic order. This intervention is due to consumer protection and the environment are economic order principles, founded on free initiative and free competition, ensuring everyone a dignified existence which underlies the irradiation of fundamental rights in private initiative, before the commercial evaluation, mass consumption, the emergence of new technologies that link consumers to the environment before the protection of life, health and safety and ensuring a better quality of life for present and future generations. To repair this damage and the right to information are provided as fundamental rights that put the person at the epicenter of the relations and collective interest stands out against individual interests that to be done need public-private partnership. In such a way that the used methodology was an analysis of documents correlating them with bibliographic sources whose goals are to recognize the civil responsibility as limit to subjective right, having to develop a social function where guilt and risk grow distant and the damage is configured as a consequence of inherent risk, requiring the State interventional postures in fulfilling its public policy; prevailing in these risky activities the solidarity of those involved in the chain of production and socialization of damage forward those are provided directly of products of hazardous nature that put in a position of vulnerability the environment and the consumer

Práticas discursivas em blogs políticos: uma observação sobre a participação política e as trasnformações que acompanham o espaço público

Conhecimento dos médicos pediatras e odontopediatras de Bauru e Marília a respeito de flúor

A proposta deste trabalho foi verificar o conhecimento dos médicos pediatras e odontopediatras, a respeito dos compostos fluoretados. Para tanto, foram visitados 91 médicos pediatras e 72 odontopediatras dos municípios de Bauru e Marília, que ao concordarem em participar da pesquisa receberam um questionário com 22 questões. O preenchimento e a devolução foram imediatos. Os dados obtidos foram analisados por meio de estatística descritiva, utilizando freqüências absolutas e relativas, representadas através de tabelas. Mediante a análise dos questionários, verificou-se que alguns polivitamínicos que contêm flúor são usualmente prescritos pelos médicos pediatras, ao passo que os géis, vernizes e soluções para bochecho são bastante empregados pelos odontopediatras. Não foi estabelecida relação entre o conhecimento e tempo de formado, a idade do profissional, a universidade de origem, a cidade em que trabalha e a área de atuação (particular, rede pública ou em ambos) desses profissionais. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que o conhecimento dos médicos pediatras e odontopediatras, das cidades de Bauru e de Marília, a respeito da presença de flúor em várias fontes de ingestão se mostrou insuficiente e, em algumas situações, preocupante, com relação à prevenção de fluorose dentária.

Turismo em jogo: a dinâmica da reterritorialização em Tibau do Sul/RN

The work seeks to understand the process of reterritorialization triggered by tourism development in Tibau do Sul / RN, noting its economic, socio-cultural and political implications to the local society. Tourist activity was addressed as socio-cultural phenomenon, considering the case of (dis) (re) territorialization and power relations between staff producers of the tourism space. Given the complexity of this issue and the need for further studies that focus on the reterritorialization cases generated by tourism in the northeastern coast, given the action of the agents involved in the construction of the spaces generated by tourism, this work is then justified. For such a study an exploratory and qualitative study was conducted, through a survey of secondary and primary data, and interviews with leaders of public, private nonprofit community in the investigated county. In this sense, it was found that the process of (dis) (re) territorialization in the city investigated, permeates the contradictions resulting from the conflicts existing power while providing the location and implications for economic and sociocultural dimensions, its heart is found in the political, the relationship between entrepreneurship - established mainly by outsiders who own businesses in Pipa - and local government - composed entirely by insiders who work in the municipal headquarters, that until then, hold the political and the economic power. Thus, to understand the regionalization of tourism it is necessary to analyze its economic, socio-cultural and political dimensions, referring to the complexity of relationships between producing space agents. It is believed that the reterritorialization can be capable of producing territorialities contextualized to the culture, history, economy and local politics, understanding that the active participation of the natives will contribute to a less perverse, since this has been one of the faces experienced by local people
