O Pró-Rural 2000 como política pública de combate à pobreza rural no Rio Grande do Sul

Nas últimas décadas o Rio Grande do Sul passou por profundas transformações econômicas e sociais. Essas transformações ocasionadas pela adoção de um conjunto de medidas para todos os tipos de agricultores, fizeram com que grande parte da população rural empobrecesse. Dado isto os poderes públicos apoiados por organismos internacionais, no caso o Banco Mundial, começam a partir dos anos 1990, a formatar políticas públicas específicas de combate e alívio à pobreza rural. Assim, nos anos 1996-97 é formulado o Pró-Rural 2000 com perspectiva de fomentar o desenvolvimento e melhorar as condições de vida da população mais pobre do meio rural gaúcho. Os beneficiários diretos das ações estariam localizados em regiões escolhidas segundo alguns critérios previamente elaborados pela coordenação estadual, com maior concentração de pobreza rural. A implantação do programa se daria nos municípios, com apoio da EMATER e os agricultores beneficiados deveriam se adaptar a uma série de critérios elencados no manual operativo. O que se viu, no entanto, no ano de implantação, a partir da análise nos municípios de Jaboticaba e Lajeado do Bugre que as ações serviram mais para satisfazer as vontades dos agentes políticos do que para o combate à pobreza rural. Os agricultores não participaram das reuniões preparatórias, não se respeitou o critério do uso da microbacia hidrográfica como unidade de ação e de planejamento e principalmente não se realizou nenhuma ação de manejo adequado dos recursos naturais.Deste modo, a política pública concebida como Pró-Rural 2000, por utilizar dados e indicadores um tanto já defasados e por estar baseada nos programas de desenvolvimento rural integrados dos anos 1960-70, buscou combater e aliviar uma situação com as ações que haviam gerado e intensificado a pobreza rural no estado do Rio Grande do Sul.

A produção orgânica de citros no Vale do Rio Caí/RS

Há uma preocupação crescente sobre a necessidade de produção e consumo de alimentos mais saudáveis, sem uso de agrotóxicos nem fertilizantes químicos. Neste contexto se insere a prática da agricultura orgânica que, contudo, apresenta resultados ainda pouco avaliados. Assim, pretendeu-se, nesta pesquisa diagnosticar a produção orgânica na região citrícola do Vale do Rio Caí, no Rio Grande do Sul. Inicialmente foram selecionadas propriedades de oito agricultores, todas já convertidas ao sistema orgânico de produção há pelo menos cinco anos. Para tanto foram aplicadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas junto às unidades familiares, visando diagnosticar os aspectos sociais, econômicos e técnicoambientais. Os agricultores orgânicos mostram-se satisfeitos com o sistema orgânico de produção, que de maneira geral proporciona boas produtividades com custos de produção menores do que no sistema convencional de cultivo. Os agricultores que se dedicam ao sistema orgânico de produção revelam bom conhecimento sobre o meio ambiente, plantas, solos e processos agroecológicos, aspectos políticos, econômicos e sociais, adquiridos através da participação em cursos, palestras, congressos, dias de campo, treinamentos, e através das reuniões e assembléias da Cooperativa ECOCITRUS. A constante troca de experiências entre os agricultores orgânicos tem contribuído na melhoria da qualificação técnica dos produtores, além de melhor conscientizá-los nos aspectos políticos, econômicos e sociais. A participação dos produtores na ECOCITRUS tem proporcionado melhor organização dos mesmos, contribuindo na viabilização da produção orgânica, inclusive com vantagens econômicocomerciais, pela obtenção de insumos orgânicos, venda da produção e estímulo ao beneficiamento da produção, visando agregar renda à propriedade.

Caminhos que estruturam cidades: redes técnicas de transporte sobre trilhos e a conformação intra-urbana de Natal

The railroad, from 1870 and on, becomes an usual complaining in the press s and politician elite s speeches, especially because of Natal s geographic isolation. The implantation of two railroads in the capital territory Estrada de Ferro de Natal a Nova Cruz, afterwards part of Great Western Railway Company network, and Estrada de Ferro Central do Rio Grande do Norte had serious implications in the urban environment. While railroad s structures were already consolidated, other transportation mechanisms were being implanted in the first decades of the 20th century, such as trams lines, which, by the way, was a transport modal that also used rails as a dislocation meaning. Considering these questions, we may ask: how come railroads and tramways demands, roads and buildings had influenced the internal organization of Natal? We work with the general hypothesis that the influence of technical networks, composed by tramways and railroads, over Natal s urban space happened in a diversified way, sometimes consolidating social aspects in certain areas, sometimes improving the occupation of others. The impact over the city s territory also happens in a diversified way between the buildings/railroad s complexes and the pathways. The different scale of the train in comparison to the trams velocity, size, noise level, flow, among others is also a cause to the different consequences in urban environment. The main objective of this work is to understand the role of circulation technical networks in the construction process of urban space in Natal, as a way to contribute to the urban historiography about the subject. The time frame adopted, between 1881 and 1937, marks the time path of railroads and tramways in Rio Grande do Norte: 1881 is the year of railroad s first section inauguration from Natal to São José do Mipibu as well of the railroad complex in the Republic Square in Natal; the year of 1937 marks the beginning of tramways declination process in the city. At this time railroads and tramways had to face more intensively the competition of motor vehicles. The theory reference adopted is based on concepts and analysis of authors, such as Flávio Villaça and Roberto Lobato Corrêa references to the concepts of urban structure , localization and accessibility and Gabriel Dupuy to explain the concept of urban technical networks . These references reveal the conflict of different realities in the urban universe interests and values which is an important factor about the construction of urban space. The information sources used were from two distinctive natures: primary, journals of the time studied and official government reports, and secondary, based on other works about the subject. It was also used by this study iconographic source, especially images from the data base of the research group História da Cidade, do Território e do Urbanismo .

Serviço social na educação: saberes e competências necessárias no fazer profissional

The Theory analyzes what should know and what competes, formally, to the Professional of Social Service to act in the School Education. He/she investigates, starting from studies on the theme, and close to Council Federal and Regional of Social Service, and of the Brazilian Association of Studies and Researches in Social Service, that you know and competences are necessary for the social worker performance in that specific area. Through a research of nature empiric, bibliographical and documental, the analysis focus outlines the glance and the understanding of the professionals' category that represent the defense organs, fiscalization and formation of the profession. The importance of the scientific study is justified for the social worker necessary contribution acting in the School Education, whose political and pedagogic context presents multiple demands, you know and relationships, and when it is lived a social and education picture at the present time with order words in formation, as inclusion, empowerment, competence, that they demand other specialists in the school scenery to work with the varied expressions of the social subject. Since the years 1930 the social worker acts in the area of the Education, with an originating from knowledge the human and social areas that you/he/she makes possible him/it to contribute, undisciplinement, close to the pedagogic team of the School Education. The clarity of the you know and of the necessary competences to intervene in that field of specific work makes possible the legitimation of the identity, of the social worker professionalization and the formalization of his/her practice.

He intends, an action politics and of popularization on them know and the social worker competences in the School Education

O programa memória viva e a memória social da UFRN

O trabalho investiga que contribuições o Programa Memória Viva, exibido pela TV Universitária, fornece para a construção da memória social audiovisual da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte UFRN, analisando as entrevistas realizadas com os reitores da instituição entrevistados no programa. A pesquisa fundamenta-se em três aportes teóricos distintos: a abordagem narrativa de Joseph Campbell (1999), desenvolvida e adaptada ao jornalismo por Lima (2008) e Martinez (2008); a noção de Memória Social elaborada por Jacques Le Goff (2000); e, finalmente, a hermenêutica midiática de John Thompson, que permite uma síntese dessas referências anteriores e uma orientação metodológica integrada de diferentes técnicas de pesquisa. Analisamos o programa dentro da perspectiva da jornada do herói método de estruturação de narrativas que se utiliza da perspectiva mitológica de Joseph Campbell e da psicologia humanista de Carl Gustav Jung que seria utilizado, de maneira inconsciente, como recurso para a construção das histórias de vida expostas no programa. Os reitores entrevistados contam não apenas a própria história, no formato autobiográfico e narratológico estabelecido pela produção, mas delineiam também de forma direta ou indireta também a história da instituição

A produção de biodiesel no assentamento Canudos RN: perspectivas e limites da inclusão social

The need to become energy self-sufficient a country with which Brazil has sought renewable energy sources due to the possibility of depletion of oil in coming decades. This paper will examine the perspective of social inclusion the latest energy plan developed by the Federal Government: the National Program of Biodiesel Production and Use - PNPB. It aims to find out whether that work with family farmers who participated in the PNPB socially included and what limits its inclusion. Secondly, the objective is to analyze the Brazilian biodiesel production and its uses. The methodology used for the preparation of this study was to examine the literature, visits to the study area, conducting interviews with the leadership of the settlement, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with families producing sunflower. Finally, the research dealt with the statistical data. After analyzing the data was verified that the instrument PNPB is able to promote the social inclusion of family farmers, but this occurred in the initial stages because the families involved need a minimum framework of organization and infrastructure to develop activities related to biodiesel

Diagnóstico laboratorial de hemoglobinopatias em populações diferenciadas

The inherited haemoglobinopathies are a heterogeneous group of recessive disorders that include the thalassaemias and sickle cell disease. Nearly a thousand mutant alleles have now been characterized. The mutations are regionally specific and in most cases the geographical and ethnic distribution shave been determined providing the foundation for a program of control through screening, genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis. The diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies requires care for the methodologies applied and the population group which will be evaluated. The information about the abnormal hemoglobin, the medical and psychological aspects and genetic counseling of the carriers and their families are goals of great importance for the success of preventive programs in this area. Aiming to evaluate the laboratory methods for hemoglobinopathy screening and their use in clinical laboratories, we have compared abnormal hemoglobins incidence in the different population groups: blood donors, anemia carriers, newborn and students. The laboratory methods applied involved eletrophoretic proceedings, cytological and biochemical analysis. Within the period from September 1999 through January 2000, we analyzed 524 individuals with varied types of abnormal hemoglobins. Among blood donors, we diagnosed two sickle cell carriers, which suggest the necessity for better care in the process of selection of blood donor candidates. The current interest in the medical and social aspects of sickle cell anemia has resulted in a great increase in methodology research leading to the development of sickle cell screening techniques.
