Esculápios tropicais: a institucionalização da medicina no Pará, 1889-1919

Esta dissertação insere-se dentro de uma proposta que pretende recompor a história social da medicina no Pará sob uma nova perspectiva. Analisar a construção do poder e prestígio da medicina científica e dos médicos na sociedade paraense da virada do século XIX para o século XX é o principal objetivo deste trabalho. A intenção é mostrar que, longe de gozar de uma hegemonia no universo da cura e dispor de um poder imanente capaz de modelar a sociedade da época, os médicos ainda enfrentavam enormes dificuldade para legitimar sua ciência entre as mais diversas categorias sociais. Enquanto as autoridades republicanas, em nome da “Civilização” nos trópicos, seguiam com sua política de higienização do espaço urbano e combate às epidemias, a população paraense persistia na busca de alívio de suas mazelas nas tradicionais artes de curar. No entanto, se a medicina popular constitui-se em um dos maiores empecilhos para a afirmação dos médicos acadêmicos como senhores da cura, a desunião, a falta de ética e consenso no interior da classe médica não deixaram de ser alguns dos fatores marcantes do descrédito que pairava sobre a figura dos representantes da medicina oficial em plena República brasileira. Para enfrentar tantos problemas, os médicos, pouco a pouco, procuram superar suas diferenças e criaram regras e laços de solidariedade capazes de uni-los em torno de objetivos em comum, consolidando uma identidade de grupo que fortaleceu sua corporação e lutou pelo prestígio e poder que eles tanto almejavam.

O Professor no Cotidiano Escolar: uma experiência no ensino superior

O trabalho trata do relato de uma experiência didática, realizada numa disciplina introdutória do curso de Pedagogia. Procura levar à reflexão acerca de como a ação do professor do futuro professor está mais comprometida com a realização dos rituais acadêmicos tradicionais, do que com princípios revolucionários que geram as mudanças efetivas na área educacional (ou social) e como os discursos teóricos incorporados nos conteúdos programáticos, de cursos superiores de formação de professores, se perdem na rotina da sala de aula da própria universidade. O relato busca promover a reflexão acerca da contribuição dos professores universitários na formação de profissionais mais críticos, considerando a incoerência entre a teoria que prega e a prática que assume. Por fim são apresentadas pequenas iniciativas para tentar “transgredir” com o instituído, para romper com as relações de poder existentes nas instituições educacionais. O trabalho traz, em seu bojo, algumas observações registradas pelos alunos que participaram dessa iniciativa.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT TO THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE BRAZILIAN ELECTRONICS SECTOR

The objective of this paper is to identify and analyze various aspects of the internal and external operations management of Brazil's electronics sector and to consider the opportunities for and the threats to increasing the competitiveness of its participation in the global supply chain. To address this shortage in the literature, a survey of Brazilian Electric and Electronic Industry Association (ABINEE) companies was conducted. The collected data were complemented with secondary data to establish an overall view of the electronics sector in Brazil. The results suggest that electronics product assembly companies have the opportunity to invest more in information technology to expand process integration, plan and develop products, integrate customers, and maintain rather than expand their supply chain practices. The alignment between internal and external operations management becomes important in this context. The originality of this paper lies in its clarification of operations management in an economically important sector and the insight it provides to academics, practitioners and policy makers involved in the domestic and international electronics sector.

Processos de pesquisa e de estudo e a formação de professores: alguns aspectos teórico-metodológicos

Both the research and the university extension projects and the experiences of the students have an important role for the training of the teachers. Bring these issues of the quotidian aspects in the school to be analyzed by students to favor closer relations between theory and practice considering a specific academics context, historicizing and contextualizing both of them. Added to this, it allows for analyzing didactic issues in the interrelationship between the organizational aspects and the school community aspects. From these aspects, and considering our practice in teaching and researching in the university, we intend to address in this article to analyze theoretical and methodological aspects of research processes and the study aspects which, in our view, are important and add quality in the role of teacher training in both the initial and continuing education. We use the research and the study terms, because we believe that the developments of the both are fundamental to the methodological emphasis of the study process.

O difícil caminho da reforma: A polícia e os limites do processo de reforma pós-redemocratização

A transition of Brazil from a juridico-political system of exception to a democracy was accompanied by several legal and institutional reform processes, aimed at the gradual elimination of so-called authoritarian rubble and the implementation of instruments of the democratic system, based on recognized citizenship and justice. However, to this day the extent and effects of those reforms can be questioned, especially in light of the increased public demand for justice and citizenship. The article The Difficult Path to Reform: The Police and Limits of the Post-Redemocratization Reform Process shows that the route to reform, above all in the sphere of police agencies, is a tortuous one, with an extensive agenda of problems and solutions, demanding research on the part of academics in order to form an understanding of the resistance to change and to new paradigms that define the public security agenda.

FROM FACTORY-FLOOR TO UNIVERSITY

The interaction between industry and university is often discussed. Industry participants feel they do not have enough time to spend with academics because of tight deadlines to achieve your goals. The other hand, professors and his students do not have availability and resources for responding quickly to industry activities. Both sides recognize the associated problems and feel the consequences of various forms. One way to reduce the distance between them is to provide industrial labs that resemble the factory floor at the university. Thus not only students may work on a real technological base, but also the industry's problems can be brought to the university laboratory. To ensure that relevant industrial problems will be studied, the industry needs help in the formulation of the problem being researched. The graduate program of Automation and Control Engineering from UNESP Sorocaba is aimed at training human resources with skills in automation and control activities related to the development of automatic control processes, integrating electronic commands, intelligent manufacturing and industrial robotics. In order to achieve its objectives, one of the pillars of the university consists of a wide range of modern equipments and software for industrial automation, which allows the circuit assembly from most primitive until configuration and programming of a complex system of integrated manufacturing. This paper describes industrial automation equipments and laboratory structure offered to students of Control and Automation Engineering graduate program at UNESP Sorocaba as alternative to close technologies and real problems on the job until academic world. The strategic is to do students understand theory and operations in robotic and industrial automation by means to manipulating real production systems locate at university

Evolucionismo linguístico: um paralelo entre evolucionismo biológico e mudança linguística

The comparison between linguistic change and biologic evolution is a subject that has caused and still causes much controversy among linguists and other academics that see, in this parallel, problems related to similar attempts in the nineteenth century by Social Darwinism, which approached the biological evolution with social and cultural development of a people. However, this paper aims to show that today this parallel is not built in the same way as was done before. Names like William Labov, Salikoko Mufwene, Jonathan West and Hildo Honorio do Couto in linguistics; Charles Darwin in biology; and Tom Ingold and Clifford Geertz in anthropology, showed that areas of Humanities, such as linguistics and anthropology, and of Biological Sciences, as phylogeny and genetics, are likely to be worked together by the great similarities between processes that compose them. Thus, based on the writings of these authors and some others, this paper presents this theme’s controversy; it shows the similarities between characteristics of languages and species; it seeks through the concepts MA Mental, MA Social and MA Natural of the languages (coined by Couto on Linguística, ecologia e ecolinguística: contato de línguas) to develop ideas of how it is possible to think the language change in the light of Darwin's concept, Natural Selection; and finally, it shows that the parallel theme is rather productive, based on the texts and discussions presented in the whole paper, and that the controversy has been being dissolved with more and more people working on the parallel between language and species
