A INSERÇÃO DE BEBÊS EM CRECHES: UM OLHAR PARA AS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS

O presente trabalho propõe um estudo sobre a inserção de bebês em creches públicas no município de São Paulo. De acordo com Rosemberg (2010), a infância constitui fase importantíssima na formação da criança e embora a duração da primeira infância seja de curta duração, considerando-se a expectativa de vida de 70 anos, ela constitui a vida inteira dos bebês e das crianças pequenas. Nos dias atuais os bebês ingressam na creche a partir dos quatro meses de idade e lá permanecem por até dez horas. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa buscou compreender as políticas públicas para esse atendimento, o qual, com a Constituição de 1988, foi considerado a primeira etapa da Educação Básica compondo a Educação Infantil brasileira, de oferta obrigatória e direito das crianças, garantindo, em complementação à família, o desenvolvimento integral da criança pequena. Desse contexto, alguns questionamentos foram trazidos para a discussão: quais as propostas de atendimento de bebês na creche e como funcionam as instituições que os recebem? Qual o olhar das políticas públicas para esse segmento de educação? A Constituição garante o ingresso dos bebês na creche, mas e seu desenvolvimento integral, está garantido? Recentemente atrelada à esfera educacional, a creche tem o desafio de compreender seu papel com essas crianças, desvinculando-se de práticas apenas assistencialistas e higienistas, e de construir novas concepções acerca desse atendimento. Tais concepções ficam explícitas não nas politicas públicas, mas efetivam-se na prática da creche, nas atividades desenvolvidas, nos espaços e processos pedagógicos pensados para receber o bebê. Em face do exposto, esta pesquisa possibilitou inferir que, apesar dos avanços acerca do atendimento educacional ofertado a primeira infância, falta ainda clareza por parte da sociedade em geral, sobre a importância de uma educação de qualidade para as crianças pequenas e seu impacto na formação humana. Essa lacuna merece o olhar das políticas públicas, uma vez que demanda ações nas diversas instâncias da creche, desde a formação e a valorização do professor de Educação Infantil, até a estrutura física e a escassez das vagas. Os poucos estudos que discutem tais políticas para a educação de bebês nas creches, justificam a realização deste trabalho.

Articulating discursive and materialist conceptions of practice in the logics approach to critical policy analysis

In this article it is argued that while Glynos and Howarth’s logics of critical explanation (LCE) offers an important and promising contribution to critical policy analysis, it, along with other approaches that focus on the meaning of social action, faces a growing challenge in the form of a so-called new materialist turn in social and political theory. The article argues that there is much to be gained for the logics approach in paying closer attention to the materiality of practices in terms not only of lending greater clarity to the conception and role of social practices in the logics approach but also in enabling it fully to deliver on its critical ambition. The article explores an alternative materialist approach to the study of social practices, which hails from the post-actor–networktheory tradition and which has ontological affinities with post-structuralism. The article begins with a brief analysis of the new materialist turn in its various guises. It then critically examines the logics approach, and, in particular its conception of practice. It then explores an alternative materialist and ethnographic reading of practice, focusing on medical and care practices. It concludes with an examination of the implications for a more materialist conception of practices for the LCE’s broad deconstructive, psychoanalytic and onto-political ambitions.

Generational change among women in rural Valencia

The demise of Generalissimo Francisco Franco in 1975 and the subsequent democratization of Spain and its inclusion in the European Community have profoundly altered the patriarchal traditions of Spanish society. This study focused on the changes that women in Moixent, a rural village in Valencia, Spain, have experienced as a result of this liberalization of government policies, modernization, and economic development. ^ The purpose of this research was to illuminate the changing lives of two generations of women and their families in rural Valencia. The qualitative research techniques of participant observation, in-depth interviewing, and narrative analysis were used to present the different frames of reference of the two generations. Young working women in this rural community have come to rely on the help and support of their mothers in their attempts to work outside the home and improve their standard of living. As they enter Spain's modernizing economy their consumption patterns increasingly mimic those promoted by the global media, and especially television. As these young women take jobs outside the home they are having fewer children and dramatically altering the nation's demographic profile. ^ The older generation of women, who lived through decades of deprivation during the Spanish Civil War and Franco's long regime, support their daughters' new independence by assuming the arduous tasks of providing informal day care for their grandchildren and performing a variety of unpaid services for their daughters, including shopping, cooking, and housecleaning. This older generation of grandmothers is assuming a more difficult and demanding workload in what otherwise would be their retirement years. Hence they are the true enablers of their daughters' economic progress and modern patterns of consumption. ^ Other influences from the outside world have altered family farming practices. The participation of women in the harvests has declined, and most harvesting is now done by migrant foreign workers. As young women enter the workforce grandmothers strive to impart traditional values to their grandchildren, in the face of a rapidly changing world. ^

Efeito de diferentes divisões territoriais na flutuação aleatória de indicadores socioeconômicos relacionados à determinação social da saúde

This research aimed to analyse the effect of different territorial divisions in the random fluctuation of socio-economic indicators related to social determinants of health. This is an ecological study resulting from a combination of statistical methods including individuated and aggregate data analysis, using five databases derived from the database of the Brazilian demographic census 2010: overall results of the sample by weighting area. These data were grouped into the following levels: households; weighting areas; cities; Immediate Urban Associated Regions and Intermediate Urban Associated Regions. A theoretical model related to social determinants of health was used, with the dependent variable Household with death and as independent variables: Black race; Income; Childcare and school no attendance; Illiteracy; and Low schooling. The data was analysed in a model related to social determinants of health, using Poisson regression in individual basis, multilevel Poisson regression and multiple linear regression in light of the theoretical framework of the area. It was identified a greater proportion of households with deaths among those with at least one black resident, lower-income, illiterate, who do not attend or attended school or day-care and less educated. The analysis of the adjusted model showed that most adjusted prevalence ratio was related to Income, where there is a risk value of 1.33 for households with at least one resident with lower average personal income to R$ 655,00 (Brazilian current). The multilevel analysis demonstrated that there was a context effect when the variables were subjected to the effects of areas, insofar as the random effects were significant for all models and with different prevalence rates being higher in the areas with smaller dimensions - Weighting areas with coefficient of 0.035 and Cities with coefficient of 0.024. The ecological analyses have shown that the variable Income and Low schooling presented explanatory potential for the outcome on all models, having income greater power to determine the household deaths, especially in models related to Immediate Urban Associated Regions with a standardized coefficient of -0.616 and regions intermediate urban associated regions with a standardized coefficient of -0.618. It was concluded that there was a context effect on the random fluctuation of the socioeconomic indicators related to social determinants of health. This effect was explained by the characteristics of territorial divisions and individuals who live or work there. Context effects were better identified in the areas with smaller dimensions, which are more favourable to explain phenomena related to social determinants of health, especially in studies of societies marked by social inequalities. The composition effects were better identified in the Regions of Urban Articulation, shaped through mechanisms similar to the phenomenon under study.

Recursos e Serviços dos Idosos: que relação com a satisfação com a vida

Este estudo integra-se no coorte I de um Projecto de Investigação baseado na população, denominado “ Trajectórias do Envelhecimento de Idosos em Resposta Social: Estudos dos factores Preditivos do Envelhecimento Saudável e da Demência. O principal objectivo deste estudo é verificar e descrever se existe relação entre a satisfação com a vida e os recursos sociais reais e os percepcionados pelos idosos institucionalizados do concelho de Coimbra. Como objectivos específicos propusemonos avaliar: a relação entre os recursos sociais reais e os percepcionados pelos idosos; a relação entre os recursos sociais reais e os percepcionados pelos informantes; conhecer a avaliação dos recursos sociais dos idosos avaliados pelo OARS; conhecer a satisfação com a vida dos idosos avaliados pelo SWLS; e finalmente avaliar a correlação entre o SWLS e o OARS. Foram avaliados 45 idosos com idades compreendidas entre os 65 e os 95 anos que se encontram em resposta social (lar e centro de dia). Na colheita de dados utilizámos o SWLS, (Satisfaction with Life Scale) e o OARS (Olders Americans Research and Services). A população idosa do nosso estudo revela na sua maioria estar insatisfeita com a vida e com limitações ao nível da saúde física, mental e no desempenho das actividades diárias. Verificámos no entanto, que não existe relação entre a satisfação com a vida e os recursos sociais, económicos, mentais e físicos, sendo que estes se correlacionam entre si. Este estudo possibilitou que se fizesse uma análise crítica acerca da institucionalização dos idosos, com vista a uma maior humanização neste grupo etário. / This study is part of the cohort I of a research project based on the population, called "Trajectories of Aging Social Response in the Elderly: Study of the Predictive Factors of Healthy Aging and Dementia. The main objective is to study and describe whether a relationship exists between life satisfaction and social resources are real and perceived by the institutionalized elderly in the municipality of Coimbra. Specific objectives we set out to assess: the relationship between social resources and the actual perceived by the elderly, the relationship between social resources and the actual perceived by informants, to know the assessment of social resources of the elderly evaluated by OARS; know the satisfaction life of the elderly evaluated by the SWLS, and finally evaluate the correlation between the SWLS and the OARS we evaluated 45 elderly aged 65 and 95 years who are in social response (home and day care). In data collection used in the SWLS (Satisfaction with Life Scale) and OARS (Olders Americans Research and Services). The elderly population of our study reveals mostly being dissatisfied with life and with limitations in terms of physical, mental and performance of daily activities. We found however, that there is no relationship between life satisfaction and social resources, economic, mental and physical and these correlate with each other. This study made it possible to do a critical analysis of the institutionalization of the elderly with a view to further humanize this age group.
