A organização social da colônia de pescadores de Imperatriz zona 29 (CPIZ-29), estado do Maranhão

Nesta dissertação se analisa o processo histórico da formação social, política e econômicada da Colônia de Pescadores de Imperatriz Zona 29 (CPI Z-29), estado do Maranhão. Inicialmente, apresenta-se a fundamentação teórica concernente aos movimentos sociais de uma forma geral e em seguida especifica-se as origens e a capacidade organizacional dos pescadores sindicalizados haja vista que as colônias possuam status de sindicato. Em seguida, estuda-se como se deu a evolução do movimento dos pescadores no sul do Maranhão e, consequentemente, na região de Imperatriz, ou seja, na área que corresponde à jurisdição dessa Colônia Z-29,detendo-se nos avanços conquistados pela classe principalmente no que diz respeito às políticas públicas voltadas para esse movimento social. Na reconstituição dos acontecimentos históricos e econômicos, procedeu-se não só o estudo da CPI Z-29 que se solidificou no final da década dos anos de 1970, mais precisamente no ano de 1978, quando é fundada a entidade mencionada, mas também dos diversos ciclos de produção que a região de Imperatriz atravessou ao longo dos anos, procedeu-se também a um levantamento do modus vivendi dos pescadores seus costumes, crenças e práticas adotadas pela classe antes e depois de se associarem de forma legal a uma entidade que nascia visando a organização e fomentando um crescimento para uma classe importante porém esquecida. No estudo do processo pertinente ao periodo de sugimento do movimento e capacidade organizacional dos pescadores, analisou-se as mudanças verificadas na vida econômica, política, cultural, ambiental e social motivadas pelas transformações da estrutura organizacioanal da classe dos pescadores intensificadas, principalmente, a partir da implantação dos projetos sociais incentivados pelo Governo Federal. E, ao final, trata-se de visibilidade política dos pescadores, sua participação no processo decisório em nível municipal e os avanços conquistados pela CPI Z-29 desde a sua fundação.

Doença como experiência: as relações entre vulnerabilidade social e corpo doente enquanto fenômeno biocultural no estado do Pará

O estudo ora apresentado analisa a representação biossocial de pessoas com Anemia Falciforme (AF) no Estado do Pará, agravo entendido como um fenômeno biocultural por envolver aspectos evolutivos, genéticos, ambientais, socioeconômicos e culturais da vivência cotidiana dos indivíduos acometidos pela síndrome. A investigação aborda as sociabilidades de quarenta (40) interlocutores com AF, representando cerca de 10% dos pacientes em tratamento na Fundação Hemopa (Belém), centro de referência em doenças hematológicas do Estado, englobando a sua situação de vulnerabilidade social, suas percepções de Saúde e Doença, os tratamentos complementares (folk medicine), diagnóstico, estigmas, preconceitos, tabus e dificuldades de acesso e acessibilidade aos serviços do SUS com os quais eles convivem rotineiramente. A metodologia compreensiva e a análise de conteúdo revelam as experiências próximas dos sujeitos que diariamente convivem com as instabilidades da enfermidade. A vivência da doença, elaborada através das relações sociais, conversas, percepções e enredamentos familiares e extrafamiliares do grupo em questão, que em seu conjunto organiza sua vida social de modo sui gêneris, foram os principais dados revelados, considerando a dor física e psicológica representada pelo corpo adoecido. O habitus em relação ao estilo de vida dos sujeitos é um recorte que engloba a natureza étnico-racial da AF, ainda entendida como “doença que vem do negro” e que necessita ser desmistificada pelos profissionais de saúde que os assistem no dia-a-dia em ambulatórios de todo o Estado. Concluo sugerindo que a AF é uma doença que está atrelada aos Determinantes Sociais em Saúde, incorporando as diversas suscetibilidades dos interlocutores, que necessitam de maior sensibilidade política e dos setores de atenção básica à saúde para que as pessoas que compartilham as vicissitudes da AF possam ser incluídas socialmente.

Evolution of female urinary continence after physical therapy and associated factors

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary loss of urine that can influence the quality of life, personal hygiene and social interaction. The types of UI that most affect women are stress urinary incontinence, urge incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence. There are several risk factors that result in specific treatments. We aimed to investigate the evolution of female urinary continence after physical therapy intervention and its associated factors. Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 71 participants who were discharged from physiotherapy sector from August 2006 to April 2012 and met the inclusion criteria. Results: Among the studied variables, the number of sessions and completion of home pelvic floor exercises showed a significant association. The urinary continence appeared in 43.7% of the cases, and factors, performance of home exercises, and number of sessions showed a significant association. Conclusion: The number of sessions and completion of home pelvic floor exercises showed a significant relationship with each other.

Biogeography of the social wasp genus (Hymenoptera: Vespidade: Polistinae)

Aim The aim of this study was to understand the biogeography of Brachygastra. As the spatial component of evolution is of fundamental importance to understanding the processes shaping the evolution of taxa, the known geological history of the Neotropical region was used together with the current phylogeny and distribution of species to investigate questions concerning the biogeography of Brachygastra: the ancestral ranges of Brachygastra species; their areal relationships and their congruence with previously published hypotheses; the possible associated vicariance events and the influence of land bridges between North and South America, and the split between the Amazon and Atlantic forests. Location Neotropical region, from Mexico to central Argentina and southern USA. Methods Statistical dispersal–vicariance analysis (S-DIVA) was used to reconstruct the possible ancestral ranges of Brachygastra species based on their phylogeny (divided into three groups, lecheguana, scuttelaris and smithii). A Brooks parsimony analysis (BPA) and component analysis were performed to reconstruct the areal relationships of these species within the Neotropics. Results S-DIVA suggested a widespread, South American ancestral region for Brachygastra. The ancestral B. azteca probably reached the Nearctic before a posterior vicariance event separated it from the species groups ((lecheguana (scutellaris + smithii))), that stayed in the Atlantic forest. The ancestral (scutellaris + smithii groups) possibly reached the Amazon by dispersal, and the subsequent vicariance event splitting the Atlantic forest and Amazon separated the groups into scutellaris in the Atlantic forest and smithii in the Amazon. BPA and component analyses suggested that the Nearctic was a sister area to other regions, the Andes and Mesoamerica was a sister area to the Neotropical regions and the Amazon was closely related to the Atlantic forest. Main conclusions The phylogeny and distribution of Brachygastra suggest the influence of a land bridge between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres affecting the cladogenesis of B. azteca and the importance of the formation of the two blocks of forests in South America to the cladogenesis of the main groups of Brachygastra. Future comparisons between the distribution patterns of other taxa should enable a more precise identification of the possible events and outcomes, adding robustness to the hypothesized areal relationships.

Desenvolvimento econômico e desigualdade social: um estudo sobre os aspectos sociais presentes na obra de Raúl Prebisch

This study aims to conduct an analysis on the social aspects present in the works of the Argentine economist Raúl Prebisch (1901-1986). Based on the author's research on the economic development of the peripheral countries, it will be demonstrated how the social and economic factors have interconnected in the developmental theory of the peripheral worldwide economy. To achieve this goal, the six works of Prebisch considered essentials by Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) were used as main bibliographic axis. Such texts are: Introduction to Keynes, The Economic Development of Latin America and Its Principal Problems, Economic development or monetary stability: the false dilemma, Towards a Dynamic Development Policy for Latin America, .Change and Development: Latin America's Great Task, Capitalismo periférico: crisis y transformación, Five stages in my thinking on development. Firstly the topics essential to economic development according to the author will be exposed, such as industrialization of peripheral countries as a means of raising the income of masses and the way it should be coordinated beyond the theoretical author's choice on historical events, the evolution of the deterioration of terms of trade between peripheral and central countries and the need for productivity gains to increase the income of the worker. Afterwards it will be exposed how such terms align with social inequalities and which definitions are incorporated by the author on the subject

Reformismo social em John R. Commons

This research aims to discuss aspects of the thought of John R. Commons regarding their engagement with the reform of capitalism. He focuses on his interpretation of the socioeconomic context of American capitalism, which led him to distance himself from the Marxist revolutionary praxis and the authoritarian reformism offered by the variant of European fascism. Based on extensive literature review, the research rebuild through a historical and theoretical context, his thinking and show the evolution of his ideas throughout his life. Recreating the terms in which Commons defended his reformist project, called him reasonable capitalism.

A estratégia como prática social: um estudo bibliométrico sobre a evolução do tema no período de 2009 a 2014

This is a bibliometric study on the evolution of research on the topic Strategy as Social Practice, from 2009 to 2014. The general objective is to produce bibliometric indicators that show how scientific studies on the strategy as social practice They have evolved in the Brazilian scene. It was considered as a database articles published on the topic in scientific events EnANPAD and 3Es, both of ANPAD - National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Administration. Studies in strategy have a traditional and historical approach, rooted in the determination of strategies based on scientific knowledge acquired by the managers of the senior management of organizations. Opposing this trend, there are emerging studies in strategy, seeking to evaluate the strategic practice within organizations in various areas, and on some occasions without a decision expected by the traditional approach strategy. To this end, it conducted a theoretical study, descriptive and quantitative approach being used bibliometrics as a research method. They were selected and analyzed 53 articles using descriptive statistical techniques. The results show that studies on the subject are recent and still needs more specific and aligned studies determining the strategy as a social practice

The Evolution of Happiness

This literature review analyzes David Buss' evolutionary theory of emotions, which addresses some possible hindrances to positive emotions in today's society. The social function of emotions, sustained happiness, and competition will be looked at in comparison to Buss' article. Buss' theory will then be analyzed to the extent it applies to the human condition today. This review is not exhaustive but merely a brief analysis.

Development and evolution of caste dimorphism in honeybees - a modeling approach

The difference in phenotypes of queens and workers is a hallmark of the highly eusocial insects. The caste dimorphism is often described as a switch-controlled polyphenism, in which environmental conditions decide an individual's caste. Using theoretical modeling and empirical data from honeybees, we show that there is no discrete larval developmental switch. Instead, a combination of larval developmental plasticity and nurse worker feeding behavior make up a colony-level social and physiological system that regulates development and produces the caste dimorphism. Discrete queen and worker phenotypes are the result of discrete feeding regimes imposed by nurses, whereas a range of experimental feeding regimes produces a continuous range of phenotypes. Worker ovariole numbers are reduced through feeding-regime-mediated reduction in juvenile hormone titers, involving reduced sugar in the larval food. Based on the mechanisms identified in our analysis, we propose a scenario of the evolutionary history of honeybee development and feeding regimes.

Pollination systems in Pogonieae (Orchidaceae: Vanilloideae): A hypothesis of evolution among reward and rewardless flowers

The tribe Pogonieae of Vanilloideae (Orchidaceae) consists of six genera, including Pogoniopsis, a mycoheterotrophic taxon with morphological characteristics distinct from the remaining of the tribe. A hypothesis about the phylogeny of the tribe was inferred, involving all currently recognized genera, based on isolated and combined sequence data of 5.8S, 18S and 26S (nrDNA) regions using parsimony and Bayesian analyses. Phylogenetic analyses show that inclusion of Pogoniopsis turns the tribe Pogonieae paraphyletic. All analyses reveal that Pogoniopsis is closely related to members of Epidendroideae. The pantropical Vanilla is monophyletic if Dictyophyllaria is assumed as synonym of Vanilla. Members of Pogonieae are pollinated by several groups of solitary and social bees, two pollination systems being recognized: reward-producing and deceptive. The molecular phylogeny suggests that ancestrals related to Pogonieae gave rise to two evolutionary lines: a tropical one with reward production of flowers, and a predominantly temperate regions invading line with deceptive flowers. Reward-producing flowers characterize the South and Central American clade (=Cleistes), while deceptive pollination is prominent in the clade that includes North American-Asiatic taxa plus the Amazonian genus Duckeella.
