A DOCÊNCIA EM ADMINISTRAÇÃO E ALGUMAS CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE PROJETOS EDUCATIVOS

Esta dissertação apresenta dois projetos que apontam possibilidades de se construir novos conhecimentos com práticas viáveis e significativas para os alunos de Administração de Empresas do ensino superior. O objetivo é fomentar a discussão sobre o papel do docente e a formação dos professores no ensino superior com qualidade, através dos estudos em uma Faculdade da Zona Leste da cidade de São Paulo. Este trabalho aponta que o bacharelado em Administração pode ir para além de meros conteúdos técnicos a serem humanizados a partir da utilização de recursos didáticos inovadores. A análise dos projetos permite concluir que ações educativas diferenciadas, inspiradas na teoria freiriana, apresentaram-se como forma de enfrentamento às dificuldades nas relações entre ensino e aprendizagem. Com a aplicação dos referidos projetos, as possíveis dificuldades de aprendizagem foram transformadas em oportunidades, e hoje são contribuições à qualidade educativa.

Preliminary data on horse mackerel (Trachurus spp) landings from Mauritanian waters

European fishery off Mauritania (one of the most productive and most intensively exploited regions in the world) targeted to small pelagic fish accounts for 30% of the total catches in the area. The Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO), through its Centro Oceanográfico de Canarias, follows up the activity of these vessels that land at Spanish port (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain), under the European Project Data Collection (Regulation (EC) 1543/2000). One of the target groups in this fishery is Trachurus spp, commercially named “JAX”. During 2008 and 2009, several samples of this group from these landings were analysed, and Caranx rhonchus was the second species of importance. The mixture of these species in the landings of this UE fleet should be determined to improve the data provided to the international Working Groups responsible for assessment of those resources.

Differences in exposure to occupational health risks in Spanish and foreign-born workers in Spain (Itsal Project)

Migrant workers usually show higher rates of work-related health problems than natives. However, little information is available about their exposure to occupational risks. We describe self-reported working exposure in Spanish and foreign-born workers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted as part of the ITSAL Project. Data on sociodemographic and self-reported occupational exposure in 1,841 foreign-born and 509 Spanish workers were collected through face-to-face interviews. Prevalence and adjusted odds ratios-aOR- (by age, education, type of contract) were calculated. Foreign-born men in non-services sectors and those in manual occupations perceived exposure to occupational risks with lower prevalence than Spanish workers. Foreign-born women reported higher prevalence of exposure than Spanish female workers. By occupation, foreign-born female workers were more likely than Spanish workers to report working many hours/day (aOR2.68; 95 % CI 1.06–6.78) and exposure to extreme temperatures (aOR2.19; 95 % CI 1.10–4.38). Some groups of migrant workers may need increased protection regarding some occupational exposures.
