Considera-se que a gravidez na adolescência é um dos fatores que influencia na evasão escolar. O objetivo do presente estudo foi de identificar o perfil das adolescentes que passaram pelo processo de gravidez e compreender a evasão escolar. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e exploratório-descritivo que permitiu analisar aspetos relacionados com a gravidez na adolescência, tais como comportamentais, perfil sócio demográfico económico, educacional e problemas decorrentes da maternidade. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com as adolescentes e por meio de documentos oficiais de registo da vida escolar das mesmas. Os documentos referidos são anuários estatísticos, formulários de matrículas, de transferências, dados estatísticos e demais documentos que possuem informações das alunas e das características do referido estabelecimento de ensino. Nas entrevistas foi utilizado um roteiro semiestruturado com perguntas abertas e fechadas, levantando-se dados sobre a idade, escolaridade, composição familiar, situação económica, evasão escolar e suas consequências para o desenvolvimento social, económico e cultural com adolescentes que abandonaram a escola, a fim de saber os motivos que levaram-nas a engravidar e abandonar a escola, bem como a maneira que a escola trabalhou a educação sexual durante o período em que estudavam, os sentimentos e as perspetivas de vida. Concluiu-se que a gravidez na adolescência foi um fator que transformou a vida das adolescentes requerendo outras responsabilidades que não só a de estudante, e de acordo com o contexto elas priorizaram a maternidade.

Iowa Budget Report Fiscal Year 2010.

Governor Chet Culver and Lt. Governor Patty Judge submitted their $6.2 billion budget for fiscal year 2010. The proposal recommends further budget cuts – rather than tax increases – to help meet the challenges of declining state revenues. “In recent months, we have reduced state government spending by nearly $180 million in order to maintain a balanced budget,” said Governor Culver. "My budget proposal for fiscal year 2010 will reflect a 6.5 percent cut to almost every state department and program,” the Governor continued. “In fact, 207 of the 253 line items in my budget proposal will be cut by 6.5 percent. That represents a savings of $400 million to Iowa taxpayers.”

As Vicissitudes dos Impostos Indirectos no Sistema Fiscal Cabo-verdiano

O presente trabalho, enquadra-se no projecto de Licenciatura em Economia e Gestão, variante Administração e Controlo Financeiro como requisito exigido pela Universidade Jean Piaget de Cabo Verde. As vicissitudes dos impostos indirectos no sistema fiscal cabo-verdiano, é um tema actual que pretende mostrar a importância dos impostos indirectos para o nosso sistema fiscal. Para a sua elaboração consultou-se vários manuais, revistas, livros, Internet etc., e também recorreu-se a opinião de algumas pessoas ligadas a este assunto. Este tema é de estrema relevância, porque, ajuda-nos a entender o desenvolvimento de qualquer país. Actualmente em Cabo Verde falar dos impostos indirectos é falar mais concretamente do IVA, que aliais é o imposto que mais se tem falado ultimamente no nosso pais nos últimos anos e pode-se dizer que é o mais conhecido desde a sua implementação em janeiro de 2004. Contudo só podemos falar dos impostos com o aparecimento dos Estados e dos Impérios, onde antigamente o seu pagamento efectuava-se de várias formas, normalmente em metais preciosos como o ouro e a prata, mas também com recurso a escravos, soldados, gado, colheitas, ou outros recursos agrícolas ou naturais.

The elusive costs and the immaterial gains of fiscal contraints

We study whether and how fiscal restrictions alter the business cycle features macrovariables for a sample of 48 US states. We also examine the 'typical' transmission properties of fiscal disturbances and the implied fiscal rules of states with different fiscal restrictions. Fiscal constraints are characterized with a number of indicators. There are similarities in second moments of macrovariables and in the transmission properties of fiscal shocks across states with different fiscal constraints. The cyclical response of expenditure differs in size and sometimes in sign, but heterogeneity within groups makes point estimates statistically insignificant. Creative budget accounting isresponsible for the pattern. Implications for the design of fiscal rules and thereform of the Stability and Growth Pact are discussed.

Results show that the Department is working positively toward achieving its strategic goals of increasing the independence and productivity of blind Iowans and improving access to information for blind Iowans.

Iowa Commission on the Status of African Americans Annual Report, Fiscal Year 2008

This publication of our 2008 Annual Report. This past year was beset with challenges and disappointments, but we were still able to forge ahead and register some significant accomplishments along the way. Our vision to organize our collective genius in a systematic way is beginning to take shape, and these efforts are reflected in this report. From various developments, like the making of a documentary and film of the Alexander Clark, Sr. story, to the partnership between the division and principal leadership in the faith community around the OCBI’s “Ten Point Plan”, one can envision the proverbial Black “phoenix” rising, renewed from the ashes of banal ideologies and practices. We will seize this opportunity, in conjunction with all of Iowa, to work together around the entire state, to produce a plan that reflects our collective interests, passions, and needs as we help create the Governor and Lt Governor’s vision of “One Iowa with One Unlimited Future.”
