Citotécnico: análise do processo de trabalho em laboratórios de citopatologia e anatomopatologia no Estado do Rio de Janeiro.

Trata-se de um estudo sobre o processo de trabalho dos citotécnicos que atuam em laboratórios de Anatomopatologia e Citopatologia no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, cujo objetivo geral é: analisar a percepção dos citotécnicos sobre as competências necessárias à execução de sua atividade laboral; e específicos: (1) descrever a atividade laboral do citotécnico; (2) identificar o modo de produção da atividade por meio das inter-relações de trabalho; (3) conhecer e compreender as implicações do trabalho do citotécnico nas ações de controle do câncer. A investigação foi de abordagem qualitativa, de natureza descritiva e social, realizada em três laboratórios de Anatomopatologia e Citopatologia no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, com a participação de 33 citotécnicos. Os dados foram obtidos pela técnica de entrevista semiestruturada, aplicação de questionário, e grupo focal, no período de janeiro a agosto de 2014, e analisados com base na Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin, tendo como unidade de registro o tema. Os resultados revelaram: dos 33 citotécnicos, 73% são do sexo feminino; 34% estão distribuídos em igual percentual para as faixas etárias entre 41 a 50 anos e 51 a 60 anos. Com relação à variável do grau de escolaridade, 43% possuem especialização e 24% concluíram o curso superior. Em relação ao cargo exercido, 73% atuam como citotécnicos e 70% são funcionários públicos. O trabalho do citotécnico tem especificidade única desse trabalhador de nível técnico, que é a realização da primeira análise do exame citopatológico, com ações articuladas e complementares de natureza técnica, de gestão, e educativas vinculadas à equipe, com ênfase nos princípios de prevenção e promoção da saúde. Por meio da escala de avaliação do contexto de trabalho, foram avaliadas as condições físicas, materiais e organizacionais do processo de trabalho. O quesito clareza, na definição das tarefas, foi o maior valorado com 4,7% de média, seguido das relações socioprofissionais com média de 4,0%. Os resultados da análise de conteúdo revelaram: na trajetória da atividade laboral, emergiram quatro categorias associadas à motivação e ao ingresso na ocupação por pessoas de referência na formação, acesso ao mercado de trabalho, busca pelo aperfeiçoamento profissional e aprendizagem prática no trabalho; no conceito de modo de produção, emergiram cinco categorias: responsabilidade de salvar vidas, crítica em relação ao próprio trabalho com qualidade, características físicas, atividades distintas do citotécnico e do histotécnico, visão do trabalho com otimismo; nas condições de trabalho, emergiram quatro categorias: trabalho em equipe e responsabilidade individual, ambiguidade em relação à autonomia, precarização do trabalho, esperança no reconhecimento da profissão. O trabalho do citotécnico é uma ocupação fracamente regulamentada, que se caracteriza por ausência de perfil profissional específico compatível com o escopo de prática real observada no trabalho levando a condições de trabalho precário. O reconhecimento ocorre entre os próprios trabalhadores que se valorizam por serem responsáveis pela promoção da saúde tornando seu trabalho socialmente útil.

A segunda residência como indutora da urbanização, na contemporaneidade, em Itapema SC

O fenômeno da segunda residência tem implicações espaciais que interferem na produção e consumo do espaço geográfico. A segunda habitação, vista à luz da prática do lazer e do turismo, atividades cada vez mais praticadas na sociedade contemporânea, implica em interesses, articulações e conflitos no espaço urbano litorâneo. O objetivo do trabalho é caracterizar a segunda residência como indutora do processo de urbanização, na contemporaneidade, no município de Itapema, no litoral norte de Santa Catarina. A segunda residência se caracteriza como um alojamento turístico ou particular usado temporariamente com objetivo de lazer e uso do tempo livre. Assim percebe-se o caráter da propriedade, da finalidade, da temporalidade e do vínculo referente ao domicílio e ao lugar como critérios para determinar uma segunda residência. As particularidades do litoral de Santa Catarina atraíram habitações de segunda residência para atividades de lazer e veraneio, desde a década de 1920. A cidade de Itapema seguiu esta tendência de ocupação. A burguesia industrial de cidades do Vale do Itajaí passou a manter sua residência de veraneio, identificada como segunda residência. Neste contexto, o questionamento central é como o fenômeno da segunda residência contribuiu para o processo de urbanização e a produção do espaço em Itapema? Segundo dados dos Censos Demográficos do IBGE, no ano de 1991 havia 6.408 residências de uso ocasional em Itapema. No ano 2000 este número saltou para 11.142 residências. E finalmente em 2010 chegamos à marca de 13.547 domicílios particulares usados como segunda residência. Em vinte anos houve um aumento de 111 % no número de residências particulares de uso ocasional no município de Itapema. Isto evidencia o caráter de intensa urbanização ligado a segunda residência que tem como padrão a verticalização e o adensamento urbano nos bairros Centro e Meia Praia. A alteração da dinâmica urbana no município de Itapema está diretamente relacionada à urbanização pela segunda residência que, articulada e promovida pelos agentes imobiliários associados ao Estado, aumentou a oferta de empregos e serviços na cidade. Isso levou a um aumento gradativo da população residente nas últimas décadas (ano 2000: 25.869 hab.; ano 2010: 45.797 hab.). As temporadas de verão continuam alterando significativamente o ritmo da cidade. Contudo, a partir da década de 2000 a cidade concentra atividades de comércio e serviços ao longo de todo ano. Assim, há intensa pressão sobre a infraestrutura urbana e a legislação que regula o crescimento da cidade

The market for Egyptian farmed fish

Egypt’s aquaculture production (921,585 tonnes in 2010) is by far the largest of any African country. The aquaculture sector, dominated by semi-intensive pond production of tilapia, makes a significant contribution to income, employment creation and food and nutrition security in the country, all of which are national priority areas given low per capita income levels, rising population, worsening food and nutrition security indicators, and official unemployment levels which have remained at around 10% for the last ten years. The Improving Employment and Income through Development of Egypt’s Aquaculture Sector (IEIDEAS) project funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) is a three-year project which commenced in December 2011, and which aims to support the development of the aquaculture sector in Egypt so as to increase productivity, profitability, and employment in the sector, and the nutritional status of poor consumers. This report represents the output of a short two-week study to better understand the market for Egyptian farmed fish. The intention of the study was to provide an output which would cut-across, and potentially benefit, all five of the project outcomes.

Analysis of the retailer value chain segment in five governorates

This study is the third output of the SDC-funded “Improving Employment and Income through Development of Egyptian Aquaculture” (IEIDEAS), a three-year project being jointly implemented by the WorldFish Center and CARE International in Egypt with support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. The aim of the study is to gather data on the retailer segment of the aquaculture value chain in Egypt, namely on the employment and market conditions of the women fish retailers in the five target governorates. In addition, this study provides a case study in Minya and Fayoum of the current income levels and standards of living of this target group. Finally, the study aims to identify the major problems and obstacles facing these women retailers and suggest some relevant interventions.

Análise do mercado sucroalcooleiro e das elasticidades preço e renda da demanda por etanol hidratado

Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar o mercado de etanol combustível e estimar as elasticidades preço e renda da demanda de etanol hidratado, no Brasil, no período de janeiro de 2003 a setembro de 2012. O método econométrico utilizado para analisar os dados e obter os resultados referentes à estimativa dos parâmetros das equações de demanda foi a metodologia de Johansen. Baseado na teoria da demanda incluiu-se, num primeiro momento, como variáveis explicativas: o preço do bem, o preço do bem substituto e a renda, num segundo momento incluiu-se também a frota de veículos, estimando assim o modelo VAR/VEC. Os resultados encontrados foram significativos e estão de acordo com a teoria econômica, nos levando a concluir que a demanda por etanol é bem elástica ao preço do etanol e ao preço da gasolina. Antes de desenvolvermos o modelo, analisamos o mercado de cana-de-açúcar, de etanol e da commodity concorrente ao etanol, o açúcar. Destacando a preocupação com o meio ambiente e a importância do etanol como energia renovável.

The role of farmed fish in the diets of the resource-poor in Egypt.

The Egyptian aquaculture industry provides more than 100,000 full-time or part-time jobs and produces the country’s least-expensive farmed animal protein. Thus, aquaculture plays an important role in both sustaining livelihoods and improving the diet quality and nutritional health of Egyptians, including a significant proportion of the 25.5% who are resource-poor. Recognizing this dual role, WorldFish has promoted sustainable growth in Egyptian aquaculture for more than 20 years. Through its work, WorldFish has identified a lack of quality data about fish consumption preferences and practices. Eager to fill this knowledge gap, WorldFish partnered with the Environment and Development Group (EDG) to study consumption of fish, red meat and poultry among the resource-poor in Egypt. This study aimed to characterize current consumer preferences for and consumption patterns of animal-source foods, comparing red meat, poultry and fish. The resulting data is meant to contribute to a better understanding of what drives demand for fish among the resource-poor in Egypt, allowing value chain actors to more successfully market their products to this segment of the population.

Constraints in fish farming practices in Uttar Pradesh, India: an analysis

Aquaculture can be considered as a rapidly growing sector in many Indian states including Uttar Pradesh. The impressive overall upward trend in fish production is likely to continue in future years as there are plenty of unutilized or underutilized fishery resources in the state. In spite of the growing popularity of aquaculture in the state, fish farmers have been experiencing financial, social and technical constraints in fish farming practices. These constraints are adversely affecting farmers in obtaining expected fish yields and income. In this study, the most common problem areas were identified, analysed and ranked on the basis of farmers' perception.
