Relações raciais em Campo Grande/MS : os casos de discriminação racial registrados pelo Programa SOS Racismo

Este trabalho tem como objetivo disponibilizar um estudo referente às relações raciais na Região Centro-Oeste do país, com a finalidade analisar as condicionantes sociais que levam agentes sociais a se verem como vítimas de discriminação racial e a denunciar dimensões de seu cotidiano de interações sociais como sendo de injustiça racial. O pano de fundo para a análise que esteve em curso foi a observação da importância da argumentação da vítima como uma prova da intolerância diante da prática discriminatória. Sendo o SOS Racismo, no período recortado pela pesquisa, a principal atividade do Instituto Casa da Cultura Afro- Brasileira, projeto idealizado pelo Ministério de Justiça e Secretaria Nacional de Direitos Humanos numa tentativa de desenvolvimento de uma relação maior da parceria entre esta instância do poder público e da sociedade civil. A tentativa desta dissertação é observar, como os agentes do ato discriminatório procuram administrar seu papel de “vítima” a partir do ponto de vista de que é um cidadão exigindo ser tratado em bases iguais aos demais membros da sociedade. Se por um lado os números do SOS Racismo confirmam o aspecto insipiente das denúncias registradas pelo ato de discriminação racial no Mato Grosso do Sul, por outro, a análise do cotidiano dessas vítimas indica que um universo amplo de fatores pode pesar muito na argumentação apresentada para se fazer à denúncia.

Organização governamental e trabalho: auto-realização, prazer e eficácia - o caso da Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage

o objetivo do presente estudo é verificar em que contexto se insere a motivação para o trabalho - através da relação entre auto-realização, prazer e eficácia - em uma organização governamental voltada para a Arte, a Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage. Desde a sua criação, em 1975, a EAV sempre esteve à frente dos mais importantes acontecimentos da Arte Contemporânea Brasileira, e se viu envolvida em polêmicas de diversas origens não só como loeus agregador na luta pela liberdade de expressão da sociedade em tempos outrora politicamente conturbados por regimes de exceção, como também por sua sobrevivência enquanto organização que adotou uma postura corajosa na defesa de ideais genuinamente democráticos para sua trajetória. Inicialmente, foi realizada pesquisa documental nos registros e material existentes na Escola, onde houve a oportunidade de se colher informações valiosas dos últimos vinte anos utilizadas no trabalho. Em seguida, foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica na Biblioteca Nacional, e na biblioteca Mário Henrique Simonsen - da Fundação Getulio Vargas - 8 fontes dos subsídios e aprendizado necessários à elaboração do referencial teórico e ao levantamento de dados referentes à cidade do Rio de Janeiro, notadamente da região onde se localiza a Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage.

Controle social exercido através da denúncia no âmbito do TCE-RJ

The crisis that affected the capitalist states during the last decade of the 20th century, put an end to the period of greatest expansion of the state, demanding alterations that brought, especially in economic terms, the ideals of the liberal state. The main goal of these changes was to optimize the administration of the public service by introducing into it more efficiency, transparency, and morality because the state had shown to be incapable of attending the demands of the society and its way of doing was inefficient and did not reach out to the public interest. In Brazil, like in other part of the world, recent scandals of corruption and misuse of public funds put in doubt the efficiency of the financial control system. Like any other political system Brazil has a complex set of external and internal control, institutions that work to prevent misuse of public funds and identify responsibilities if bad use occurred. All these elements highlight the mechanisms of control of the public administration, which came to be seen as essential instruments for the improvement of the management of the public resources, targeting the collective interest. Therefore, along with the traditional mechanisms of power suppression, such as the system of checks and balances, social control arises. This, when used together with the monitoring exercised by public inspection agencies, is defined as horizontal accountability activated by civil society, in which citizens and institutions gather efforts in order to promote a more effective charge of responsibility from public agents and politicians in case of misconducts. This study aimed to identify the opportunities and limitations of social control exercised by the complaint under the TCE-RJ. The results point to the need to develop measures to guarantee the anonymity of denouncers, to simplify the forms of access the TCE-RJ and to improve information spread to the citizen.

Fatores relevantes na construção de processos government-to-government no Banco Central do Brasil

This dissertation seeks to recognize the factors, which are relevant to the construction of the processes Government-to-Government (G2G), and how these factors influence the success of those processes. For this research, two existing cases in Banco Central do Brasil (Bacen) were used: i) the Banco Central do Brasil (BACEN) X Senado Federal case; and the Bacen x Poder Judiciário case. The framework of this dissertation is based on the methodology of multiple study cases described by Robert Yin (2001). This work analyzed separately each of the cases and compared the results obtained in each analysis. In this way, this research aimed at analyzing the reasons that led these cases to gain such distinct outcomes, despite the existing potential benefits in each one of them. The obtained results suggest that three factors influence the success of G2G processes in a relevant way: computational safety; the culture of the organizations involved; and the capacitation of people involved. Each of these factors, according to what results showed, bring a set of considerations which should be observed by the public administrator in relation to the strategies of implementation of G2G processes.

Fatores determinantes na escolha do Brasil como exportador de serviços de tecnologia da informação

The export of information technology software services, also known as ¿offshore outsourcing¿, has raised debates in the media as well as in the academy. A lot has been written about the success of India, Ireland and Israel, the ¿3Is¿, but empirical data about Brazil is still hard to find. This dissertation proposes to identify success factors for Brazil to be chosen as a preferred location for offshore outsourcing based on a case study of an American multinational corporation, with branches in Brazil, that is systematically choosing Brazil as a preferred location for its offshore outsourcing operations. Concepts of economic globalization, internationalization of services and success factors for offshore outsourcing will be presented in the literature review and based on available literature focused on Brazil, a model of eight success factors is proposed. The empirical research was grounded on multiple data sources but the analysis was focused on a database of 219 deals that were conducted from September 2005 to May 2006, out of which Brazil was selected 57 times. The results confirm the proposed model of eight success factors. The final conclusions suggest that the process of identifying a country to perform the offshore activities is complex and that not all factors will be present at the same time, and more than that, in some cases intangible factors, such as relationship networks and emotional links with the country, have a higher weight in the decision. The results can be used in the future for in depth researches that differentiate Brazil from other countries in the offshore outsourcing market.

Fatores físicos-ambientais e organizacionais em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal: implicações para a saúde do recém-nascido

O ambiente de uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN) é, na maioria das vezes, estressante, tanto para os recém-nascidos (RN) internados, quanto para a equipe multidisciplinar. Conforme a gravidade destes bebês, maiores serão os riscos e seqüelas que poderão sofrer. Dessa forma, este trabalho constitui-se em uma apreciação ergonômica, a qual estudou os fatores físicos e ambientais de uma unidade intensiva e suas eventuais repercussões na saúde do recém-nascido. A metodologia utilizada caracterizou-se por uma abordagem ergonômica, sendo os instrumentos de coleta de dados por meio de observações sistemáticas (onde foram identificadas e analisadas as normas e as rotinas da UTIN, o perfil dos profissionais que constituiem a equipe multidisciplinar, além dos fatores físicos e ambientais). O local de estudo foi a UTIN do Hospital Municipal de Novo Hamburgo, e os resultados indicaram um ambiente muito iluminado, ruidoso e agitado. Além disso, os RN lá internados são bastante manuseados, sendo que a equipe se mostrou não orientada quanto aos riscos destes problemas. Como conclusão é importante reorganizar as formas de manuseio, treinar e orientar todos os profissionais da equipe multidisciplinar e readequar os fatores físicos e ambientais.
