"Empezar es haber andado la mitad" : Organización social y condiciones laborales en la Sociedad Vitícola Uruguaya

La Sociedad Vitícola Uruguaya (SVU) se fundó en marzo de 1887 fue parte del proyecto modernizador y diversificador del agro uruguayo impulsado por la Asociación Rural del Uruguay (ARU), entidad corporativa similar a la Sociedad Rural Argentina. Este trabajo analiza los orígenes de la SVU, única entidad de este tipo en Sudamérica, en el marco del desarrollo agrario uruguayo de finales del siglo XIX. También se estudian las condiciones de la mano de obra asalariada, la división de las tareas y la estructura organizacional en los orígenes del establecimiento. El objetivo es analizar cómo un sector de la élite uruguaya, reunida en la ARU, impulsó la creación de la SVU como parte de un modelo de producción capitalista diversificada y basada en una sociedad por acciones en el agro a finales del siglo XIX. La hipótesis que guía este trabajo es que dicho proyecto no sólo tenía como objetivo el desarrollo de la vitivinicultura, sino también, el de servir de modelo sociocultural con el fin de motorizar relaciones sociales capitalistas en el agro y de afincar al "gaucho" en el entorno rural

DESEMPENHO DE ORGANIZAÇÃO SOCIAL (OS) NO GERENCIAMENTO DE ORGANISMOS PÚBLICOS: ESTUDO DESCRITIVO-EXPLORATÓRIO DO CENTRO NACIONAL DE PESQUISA EM ENERGIA E MATERIAIS - CNPEM

Este trabalho discutiu o desempenho do Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais CNPEM, que deu início às suas atividades como Associação Brasileira de Tecnologia de Luz Síncrotron - ABTLuS, Organização Social (OS), entidade da sociedade civil, sem fins lucrativos, disciplinada pela Lei 9.637 de 15 de maio de 1998, para gerir organismos públicos mediante a assinatura de contrato de gestão baseado em metas a serem cumpridas. O modelo nasceu concomitantemente com a criação do Ministério da Administração e Reforma do Estado MARE, na gestão do ministro Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira, no governo do presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso - FHC, tendo como princípio básico a prestação de serviços sociais, nas áreas de cultura, educação, pesquisa científica, proteção e preservação do meio ambiente e saúde, na expectativa de que ele pudesse prestar melhores serviços do que as empresas estatais e as entidades da administração direta. Hoje, dez anos se passaram e o CNPEM continua prestando serviços na área de pesquisa científica ao CNPq e ao MCT, apesar de não haver apoio para a criação de novas OS na esfera do governo federal, o que indicou ameaças ao seu ciclo de vida. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se através de estudo descritivo-exploratório, interpretando dados por intermédio do processo de hermenêutica para interpretação de dados retirados dos documentos institucionais, com conclusão favorável à continuidade do modelo, tendo em vista que a pesquisa demonstra que ele é legal, legítimo e competente no cumprimento das metas e missão, bem como está em plena forma física, sem ameaças ao seu ciclo de vida, demonstrando que tem muito a oferecer para a ciência brasileira e, como não poderia deixar de ser, a milhares de usuários espalhados pelo Brasil e o mundo.

The International <IR> Framework’s impact on the social and relationship disclosures in the healthcare industry

Abstract Background and Problem: The altering business world and the growing requests from stakeholders have resulted in the establishment of new reports. These are among others Sustainability reports and Integrated Reporting. On the contrary, traditional financial reports do not consider the significance of intangible assets in modern entities. The social and relationship capital has further shown to be important for firms, especially healthcare companies and pharmaceuticals, but is not as developed as other capitals within the <IR> framework and therefore not always included in annual reports. However too few disclosures within this area could lead to high liabilities. The IIRC launched the <IR> framework year 2013 as a solution, as it gives a more comprehensive view of the reporting entity. Within this framework there are six capitals: manufactured, human, financial, natural, intellectual and social and relationship.   Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to find out how the International <IR> Framework has influenced the reporting of the social and relationship disclosures within the healthcare industry, to compare the reporting of the six medical firms chosen and to examine how the social concerns have been developed over time. Delimitations: This study is conducted over a period of three years, from year 2012 to year 2014. It only examines healthcare companies which use the International <IR> framework and it has solely focus on the social and relationship capital. All other capitals within the <IR> framework are excluded from the study. Method: This study has a qualitative research strategy and is based on information collected from published documents in form of annual reports. The annual reports from year 2010, 2011 and 2012 are used to find social and relationship disclosures and a disclosure scoreboard is used to find similarities, differences and patterns. Empirical Results and Conclusion: It has been found that the aggregated social and relationship disclosures have been reduced over time. The year followed by the release of the <IR> framework was seen to have the least disclosures and therefore conclusion was drawn that the <IR> framework had a negative influence on the social and relationship disclosures. There were also differences among the companies studied both in extent and content. The former could be linked to factors such as size and nationality and the latter could be linked to reputation preservation and legitimacy interests.

Tecendo vivências e sentidos do câncer infantil : família, doença e redes de apoio social em Natal-RN

This paper discusses the experiences related to the treatment of children´s cancer which had children, their mothers and families as their main characters. They were mainly originated from areas in the countryside and urban poor areas in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. The non-governmental organization Grupo de Apoio à Criança com Câncer (GACC) was the privileged ethnographic location. In this setting, the mother, which was called acompanhante (companion), and the children, defined as pacientes (patients), were often sheltered in reason of therapeutic practices and the treatment undertaken by children in a nearby hospital. This study aims to focus on the therapeutic itinerary, beyond the children´s suffering, dealing with the family as a whole, since the moral values from these popular families imply the complete involvement of the family in relation to the illness and its treatment. Therefore, it is experienced as a family problem. We also intend to understand the construction of meanings to the illness, dealing with the ideological continuity in the relationships between the families and the GACC. These meanings were built in the intersection of these two spheres, which refer particularly to medical, religious and emotional explanations. Ethnographic methods were applied in this research at the entity and another social contexts, such as the family households. I also tried to retrieve the process of treatment outside the GACC, visiting the family context, when doing dense interviews or just having conversations with informants. It was found that the GACC, as a non-governmental organization, generates a negotiation of identities, which develops, then, through the family as a whole, but also through the child and especially the mother, affecting, in some way, their internal organization. Furthermore, the meanings of the experience of illness appeared to be shaped by the family sphere as well as by the logic of public health structures

The effect of gender context on children's social behaviour in a limited resources situation : an observational study

Knowing when to compete and when to cooperate to maximize opportunities for equal access to activities and materials in groups is critical to children's social and cognitive development. The present study examined the individual (gender, social competence) and contextual factors (gender context) that may determine why some children are more successful than others. One hundred and fifty-six children (M age=6.5 years) were divided into 39 groups of four and videotaped while engaged in a task that required them to cooperate in order to view cartoons. Children within all groups were unfamiliar to one another. Groups varied in gender composition (all girls, all boys, or mixed-sex) and social competence (high vs. low). Group composition by gender interaction effects were found. Girls were most successful at gaining viewing time in same-sex groups, and least successful in mixed-sex groups. Conversely, boys were least successful in same-sex groups and most successful in mixed-sex groups. Similar results were also found at the group level of analysis; however, the way in which the resources were distributed differed as a function of group type. Same-sex girl groups were inequitable but efficient whereas same-sex boy groups were more equitable than mixed groups but inefficient compared to same-sex girl groups. Social competence did not influence children's behavior. The findings from the present study highlight the effect of gender context on cooperation and competition and the relevance of adopting an unfamiliar peer paradigm when investigating children's social behavior.
