Tecnologia social para autogest��o : um estudo em empreendedorismo econ��mico solid��rio da cadeia produtiva da cajucultura no Rio Grande do Norte

The theme of this dissertation is social technology for self-management: a study in economic enterprise supportive of Rio Grande do Norte. The research aimed to obtain evidence that the reapplication of technology management, basic economic-financial and pricing, as production costs, has the potential to contribute to the self-management of APABV. The social technology and self-management are theoretical frameworks used and where workers are central figures in both the generation and replication of technologies that are compatible with their realities, as in the conduct and management approach adopted by them in their venture, they are makers decisions. To achieve the proposed objective was accomplished participatory research, which was used in addition to document analysis, participatory methodologies such as the construction of the DRP, group interview, experience in the production environment and family of entrepreneurs APABV. This research allowed the management technologies such as spreadsheets controls basic economic and financial costs, when socialized and understood by workers has the potential informational and become part of their daily decision-making process of the project, making up social technology

O "espet��culo do cabra macho" : um estudo sobre os vaqueiros nas vaquejada no Rio Grande do Norte

This body of work discusses the gender meanings associated with cowboys while endorsing contemporary rodeos in Rio Grande do Norte as a recreational sport and a form of ludic expression. As a result, this research has focused on rodeo practices, aiming to understand the different aspects emphasizing masculinity: these associations being constructed through relationships, contexts and the competitiveness between participants. These gender meanings hinge on the desire for a wining performance and on the behaviour exhibited among cowboys outside the competitive ring in specific social settings such as parties and recreational time. The latter were the focus of the ethnographic research; direct observation and semistructured interviews with cowboys in rodeo stadiums were also used. Through qualitative analysis of the collected data, it was revealed that historically and socially different trajectories do not immediately cause a gender crisis in cowboys, but the assignment of new significance by the social acts in each historical context. However, the presence of cowboys leads to other models of masculinity configured by expressions and the insertion of new personas, not coming directly from field activities, but imbued by the symbolic elements of the cowboy persona, constructed throughout history

Preval��ncia de sintomas do climat��rio em mulheres dos meios rural e urbano no Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil

OBJETIVO: avaliar a sintomatologia climat��rica e fatores relacionados entre mulheres dos meios urbano e rural do Rio Grande do Norte. M��TODOS: estudo transversal, descritivo, envolvendo casu��stica de 261 mulheres climat��ricas residentes em Natal e Mossor�� (grupo urbano; n=130) e Urua��u, em S��o Gon��alo do Amarante (grupo rural; n=131). A sintomatologia climat��rica foi avaliada pelo ��ndice Menopausal de Blatt-Kupperman (IMBK) e Escala Climat��rica de Greene (ECG). A an��lise estat��stica constou de compara����es das medianas dos escores entre os grupos e regress��o log��stica. Defi niram-se como ���muito sintom��ticas��� as pacientes com escores ���20, para ambos instrumentos (vari��vel dependente). As vari��veis independentes foram: idade, proced��ncia, alfabetiza����o, obesidade e pr��tica de atividade f��sica. RESULTADOS: o grupo urbano apresentou escores signifi cativamente superiores ao grupo rural, tanto para o IMBK (medianas de 26,0 e 17,0, respectivamente; p<0,0001), quanto para a ECG (medianas de 27,0 e 16,0, respectivamente; p<0,0001). Na amostra total, evidenciou-se que 56,3% (n=147) das mulheres foram classifi cadas como ���muito sintom��ticas���. Na compara����o intergrupos, essa preval��ncia foi signifi cativamente mais elevada nas mulheres urbanas em rela����o ��s rurais (79,2 e 33,6%, respectivamente; p<0,05). Pela an��lise de regress��o log��stica, evidenciou-se que a chance de pertencer ao grupo defi nido como ���muito sintom��ticas��� foi maior para mulheres do meio urbano [odds ratio ajustado (OR)=7,1; 95% intervalo de confi an��a a 95% (IC95%)=3,69-13,66] e alfabetizadas (OR=2,19; IC95%=1,16-4,13). A idade superior a 60 anos associou-se com menor chance de ocorr��ncia de sintomas signifi cativos (OR=0,38; IC95%=0,17-0,87). CONCLUS��ES: a preval��ncia de sintomas climat��ricos signifi cativos �� menor em mulheres do meio rural, demonstrando que fatores socioculturais e ambientais est��o fortemente relacionados ao surgimento dos sintomas climat��ricos em nossa popula����o.___________________________________ABSTRACT PURPOSE: to evaluate climacteric symptoms and related factors in women living in rural and urban areas of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. METHODS: a cross-sectional study involving 261 women in the climacteric was performed. A total of 130 women from Natal and Mossor�� (urban group) and 131 from Urua��u, in S��o Gon��alo do Amarante (rural group), were studied. Climacteric symptoms were assessed by the Blatt-Kupperman Menopausal Index (BKMI) and Greene Climacteric Scale (GCE). Statistical analysis involved comparison of median between groups and logistic regression analysis. Patients were defi ned as ���very symptomatic��� when the climacteric score was ���20 for both questionnaires (dependent variable). Independent variables were: age, living area, schooling, obesity and physical activity. RESULTS: the urban group had signifi cantly higher scores than those of the rural group, both for BKMI (median of 26.0 and 17.0, respectively; p<0.0001) and for GCE (median of 27.0 and 16.0, respectively; p<0.0001). For the entire sample, a total of 56.3% (n=147) of the women were classifi ed as ���very symptomatic���. This prevalence was signifi cantly higher in urban than in rural women (79.2 and 33.6%, respectively; p<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the likelihood of belonging to the group defi ned as ���very symptomatic��� was greater for urban women [adjusted odds ratio (OR)=7.1; confi dence interval at 95% (95%CI)=3.69-13.66] who were literate (OR=2.19; 95%CI=1.16- 4.13). Individuals over the age of 60 years had less chance of having signifi cant symptoms (OR=0.38; 95%CI=0.17-0.87). CONCLUSIONS: the prevalence of signifi cant climacteric symptoms is less in women from a rural environment, showing that sociocultural and environmental factors are strongly related to the appearance of climacteric symptoms in our population

�� ensinando que se aprende: um estudo sobre o ensino de projeto no Curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (CAU UFRN)

You cannot teach architectonic design, but only learn it. This sentence was, during some decades, especially during the modernism, the starting point, adopted by several architectonic design professors, when they had to approach their subject. An attitude that, some years ago, was reviewed and fighted by area s experts. This paper join this criticism, and try to add something to the pre-existing discussion, analyzing with the case-study method all the subjects related with architectonic design of the Architecture and Urbanism degree, at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte CAU/UFRN . The aim is to identify and analyze the teaching methodologies used by the professors and their effects related to the students. To reach this purpose four different methods were used: i) Professors interviews; ii) Different forms submitted to students and professors; iii) Daily practice s observation, developed during classes; iv) Documents analysis about the degree (historical development and subjects) and about the subjects themselves (summaries, table of contents and planning). Studying the results, it was possible to underline that, in spite of the efforts of some of the professors to find a way to teach with more appropriate educational and pedagogic bases, some of the teaching methodologies, criticized in articles dealing with the matter, were still used. With regard to these, the research pointed out some suggestions that could help to improve the teaching and learning process, joining professors and students that are the most important subjects of the teaching activity. Developing the idea living in the paper s title Teaching and learning , it s now clear that only the practice, through the improvement of the pedagogic techniques, together with critical analysis can help the professors to reach a relationship level, regarding the teaching and learning process, as that described in the epigraph s text, into which teaching and learning, can t be done only by one of the process subject, but must be lived by both of them: professors and students

Interesses da habita����o social : pol��ticas e processos no Rio Grande do Norte

En 2003, le gouvernement br��silien (gestion Lula) a initi�� une nouvelle phase dans son histoire de l habitation, en intensifiant les constructions de logements sociaux au Br��sil. Un tel accroissement a eut des r��percussions tant en ville comme �� la campagne, et f��t marqu�� dans le Rio Grande do Norte, par la production a grande ��chelle d ensembles d habitations, dans les programmes de Gouvernement. Afin de viabiliser ces transformations, des instruments politiques, financiers et de gestion ont ��t��s articul��s conjointement, utilisant la r��p��tition d une typologie d ��dification, comme mod��le, accompagn��e de la reproduction d une morphologie dans les constructions de logements sociaux. Afin de comprendre ce processus nous introduisons une recherche urbanistique et socio-��conomique du probl��me du logement social au Br��sil, en cherchant �� mettre en relation les aspects techniques avec les questions historique, professionnelles et culturelles, ��l��ments compl��mentaires. Notre analyse cherche a identifier comment les politiques de gestion et financement officielles (administr��es dans sa grande majorit�� par la Caisse ��conomique F��d��rale -CEF-), influencent le processus de conception de projets, en provoquant les r��p��titions de type/morphologiques, d��j�� cit��es. Bas��e sur l observation directe au cour de deux exp��riences diff��renci��es pour du logement social en milieu rural, au Rio Grande do Norte, nous montrerons aussi certaines limitations et possibilit��s des acteurs sociaux, face aux agents et politiques officielles pour le logement social au Br��sil, proposant des solutions alternatives standardis��es qui caract��risent le r��sultat des projets financ��es et g��r��s par la CEF. Nos principales r��f��rences th��oriques et m��thodologiques sont Nabil Bonduki (1998), David Harvey (2009,1982), Henry Lef��bvre (1970), Erm��nia Maricato (2010, 2009, 2000, 1987) et Raquel Rolnik (2010, 2009, 2008, 1997)

An��lise do licenciamento ambiental como instrumento de pol��tica do meio ambiente no Rio Grande do Norte Per��odo 1992-2003

This analysis on the ambient licensing is based on a research that identifies the fragilities and advances of the application of this instrument of politics of the environment in the ambient politics of the Rio Grande do Norte, in the period of 1992 the 2003. The isolated urban area of B��zios, situated in the City of N��sia Floresta/RN, situated in the eastern coast of the State, where concentrates the boarding of the ambient question as a matter in the Brazilian process of urbanization, over all the institutionalization and implementation of the ambient licensing. They are distinguished in the used methodology in consultation to the diverse involved social segments with the ambient subject in study, the example of the managers, technician and specialists, as well as the application of the legislation and norms techniques, the forms of appropriation of the common wealth and the procedures of ambient licensing of the competent agencies. The results of the research designate that the ambient licensing while instrument of the ambient politics is one of the alternatives more efficient as techniques in the process of sustainable development, since it is beyond the prerogatives to conciliate the activities and enterprises with the conservation of the environmental resources and natural benefits to the societies. In the RN one evidenced progress in the ambient legislation and the instructions techniques, and that the imperfections and limitations in the system of ambient licensing are not directly on to the instruments, but in the implementation of mechanisms of the ambient agencies. This because they do not make use of operational structure to apply in practical and established abilities, as an ambient management, institutional joint and deliberations of the State Counselor for Environment
