O princípio da integralidade no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS): utopia?

The Brazilian Federal Constitution promulgated in 1988 created the concept of Social Welfare, which is based on the triad: Health, Social Security and Social Assistance. The Unified Health System (SUS) was then instituted. SUS is a conquest of a society that seeks social justice, integrality, equalitarian and universal access to health services. In the present essay, I succinctly discourse on the various meanings of integrality. I present the theoretical basis of complexity and transdisciplinarity by opposing to reductionism, aiming at showing that, by means of transdisciplinarity and intersectoriality, integrality can be achievable.

Causes, forms and consequences of the professionalization of international sport federa-tions in Switzerland: Conceptual framework and first results

Synopsis: Sport organisations are facing multiple challenges originating from an increasingly complex and dynamic environment in general, and from internal changes in particular. Our study seeks to reveal and analyse the causes for professionalization processes in international sport federations, the forms resulting from it, as well as related consequences. Abstract: AIM OF ABSTRACT/PAPER - RESEARCH QUESTION Sport organisations are facing multiple challenges originating from an increasingly complex and dynamic environment in general, and from internal changes in particular. In this context, professionalization seems to have been adopted by sport organisations as an appropriate strategy to respond to pressures such as becoming more “business-like”. The ongoing study seeks to reveal and analyse the internal and external causes for professionalization processes in international sport federations, the forms resulting from it (e.g. organisational, managerial, economic) as well as related consequences on objectives, values, governance methods, performance management or again rationalisation. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND/LITERATURE REVIEW Studies on sport as specific non-profit sector mainly focus on the prospect of the “professionalization of individuals” (Thibault, Slack & Hinings, 1991), often within sport clubs (Thiel, Meier & Cachay, 2006) and national sport federations (Seippel, 2002) or on organisational change (Griginov & Sandanski, 2008; Slack & Hinings, 1987, 1992; Slack, 1985, 2001), thus leaving broader analysis on governance, management and professionalization in sport organisations an unaccomplished task. In order to further current research on above-mentioned topics, our intention is to analyse causes, forms and consequences of professionalisation processes in international sport federations. The social theory of action (Coleman, 1986; Esser, 1993) has been defined as appropriate theoretical framework, deriving in the following a multi-level framework for the analysis of sport organisations (Nagel, 2007). In light of the multi-level framework, sport federations are conceptualised as corporative actors whose objectives are defined and implemented with regard to the interests of member organisations (Heinemann, 2004) and/or other pressure groups. In order to understand social acting and social structures (Giddens 1984) of sport federations, two levels are in the focus of our analysis: the macro level examining the environment at large (political, social, economic systems etc.) and the meso level (Esser, 1999) examining organisational structures, actions and decisions of the federation’s headquarter as well as member organisations. METHODOLOGY, RESEARCH DESIGN AND DATA ANALYSIS The multi-level framework mentioned seeks to gather and analyse information on causes, forms and consequences of professionalization processes in sport federations. It is applied in a twofold approach: first an exploratory study based on nine semi-structured interviews with experts from umbrella sport organisations (IOC, WADA, ASOIF, AIOWF, etc.) as well as the analysis of related documents, relevant reports (IOC report 2000 on governance reform, Agenda 2020, etc.) and important moments of change in the Olympic Movement (Olympic revenue share, IOC evaluation criteria, etc.); and secondly several case studies. Whereas the exploratory study seeks more the causes for professionalization on an external, internal and headquarter level as depicted in the literature, the case studies rather focus on forms and consequences. Applying our conceptual framework, the analysis of forms is built around three dimensions: 1) Individuals (persons and positions), 2) Processes, structures (formalisation, specialisation), 3) Activities (strategic planning). With regard to consequences, we centre our attention on expectations of and relationships with stakeholders (e.g. cooperation with business partners), structure, culture and processes (e.g. governance models, performance), and expectations of and relationships with member organisations (e.g. centralisation vs. regionalisation). For the case studies, a mixed-method approach is applied to collect relevant data: questionnaires for rather quantitative data, interviews for rather qualitative data, as well as document and observatory analysis. RESULTS, DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS/CONCLUSIONS With regard to causes of professionalization processes, we analyse the content of three different levels: 1. the external level, where the main pressure derives from financial resources (stakeholders, benefactors) and important turning points (scandals, media pressure, IOC requirements for Olympic sports); 2. the internal level, where pressure from member organisations turned out to be less decisive than assumed (little involvement of member organisations in decision-making); 3. the headquarter level, where specific economic models (World Cups, other international circuits, World Championships), and organisational structures (decision-making procedures, values, leadership) trigger or hinder a federation’s professionalization process. Based on our first analysis, an outline for an economic model is suggested, distinguishing four categories of IFs: “money-generating IFs” being rather based on commercialisation and strategic alliances; “classical Olympic IFs” being rather reactive and dependent on Olympic revenue; “classical non-Olympic IFs” being rather independent of the Olympic Movement; and “money-receiving IFs” being dependent on benefactors and having strong traditions and values. The results regarding forms and consequences will be outlined in the presentation. The first results from the two pilot studies will allow us to refine our conceptual framework for subsequent case studies, thus extending our data collection and developing fundamental conclusions.

Historia de la psicología en la Argentina

En este trabajo intentamos historiar los cauces que la Psicología ha seguido en nuestro país. Iniciamos el camino con una breve referencia a las características de la enseñanza de la Psicología en la época colonial, en que esta disciplina era sólo una rama del generoso tronco de la Filosofía, de la que recién comenzó a separarse a fines del siglo XIX con la aparición de la Psicología Experimental. En la época independiente pasamos revista a la enseñanza de los profesores inspirados en la Ideología e indicamos las características del movimiento romántico y del eclecticismo, a cuyo exponente máximo, Amadeo Jacques, dedicamos un párrafo especial. En las últimas décadas del siglo pasado surge una nueva corriente filosófica que dará gran importancia a los resultados de las ciencias positivas. Este positivismo es el que asiste a la constitución de la Psicología como ciencia natural e independiente. Surgen las laboratorios de psicología y los trabajos experimentales, y la Psicología entra en la Universidad. En 1896 se crea la primera cátedra universitaria de Psicología en nuestro país. Este cambio en la Psicología influye en gran medida sobre todas las ciencias afines. Se renuevan los estudios sobre Psicopatología y Psiquiatría, sobre Medicina Legal y Criminología, sobre Psicofisiología y Psicopedagogía, sobre Psicología social, Psicología colectiva, etc. Destacados investigadores y profesores universitarios comienzan a participar de congresos internacionales, presentando trabajos que señalan la madurez de los estudios psicológicos en la Argentina. Se crean diversas instituciones que tienen por finalidad promover las investigaciones psicológicas y auxiliares y se comienzan a publicar en libros y revistas numerosos trabajos con los resultados de esta labor. En los primeros años del presente siglo se destacan hombres que con sus obras han trascendido el ámbito nacional. Nos referimos especialmente a José Ingenieros, Horacio G. Pinero, Víctor Mercante, José M. Ramos Mejía, Rodolfo Senet, Enrique Mouchet y muchos otros que marcaron inicialnente el rumbo de la Psicología Científica Argentina. A pesar del rico y abundante material con que cuenta la Psicología en Argentina, pocos autores se han detenido a investigarla. Sólo tenemos noticia de los trabajos de José Ingenieros y Américo Toradori, que nos han servido de utilísima guía en nuestro estudio. Hay también otros estudios pero que no pretenden dar un detallado panorama del conjunto. El trabajo intenta combinar el relato horizontal de la trayectoria histórica de la psicología en nuestro país, con la referencia en profundidad a las obras e ideas de algunos de sus autores. Sabemos que este trabajo está incompleto y declaramos no haber pretendido hacer un estudio exhaustivo, sino sólo señalar las corrientes filosóficas o psicológicas, los autores, las investigaciones, los textos y las instituciones que han participado activamente en el desarrollo de la Psicología en la Argentina, desde sus orígenes hasta las primeras décadas del siglo XX.

La comunidad organizada en el contexto del Primer Congreso Nacional de Filosofía, 1949

Todo saber está enraizado en una situación concreta histórico-temporal. Aquí y ahora, lugar e instante, condicionamiento histórico, condicionamiento geográfico son determinaciones básicas del saber y de la vida. El saber, sin embargo, tiene también movimiento y libertad. Libertad en la elección desde dónde partir y en la elección para la clarificación de las metas, pues el campo de lo dado inmediato es un amplio campo de múltiples singularidades y relaciones. El lugar y el tiempo donde se vivió y tuvo lugar el Primer Congreso Nacional de Filosofía de 1949, en Mendoza, Argentina, constituyeron el enclave donde una sociedad de personas condicionadas por su historia y simultáneamente libres en la elección y ejecución de sus actos lo llevaron a cabo. Determinismo y libertad conjugados en este momento de la historia argentina, nuestra historia concreta.
