Beirando a vida, driblando os problemas: estratégias de bem viver

The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategies used by families living in at-risk-and-vulnerable situations registered with the Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) ( Family Health Strategy ) as they face their daily problems. This is an investigation of a qualitative nature, using interview as the main tool for an empirical approach. Ten women from the Panatis location in northern Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, whose families live in precarious social-economical situations were interviewed. The interviews occurred between the months of April and June, 2007. The reports revealed that a mixture of improvisations and creativity was used as strategies for overcoming the privations and necessities of daily life. We also reached the conclusion that these families sought solutions for their problems through religiosity and a gift reciprocity system as resources for obtaining personal recognition and support in adversity. The results, in addition, point to ESF as one of the strategies used by these families in the search for attention and care. From this perspective, ESF has proven to be a place for listening and the construction of ties that are consolidated through home visits, organized groups, in parties and outings that are promoted in the community, reestablishing contact and support among people and signaling a way out of abandonment and isolation. Holders of knowledge constructed through life experiences, the participants of the study led us to induce and infer the need to amplify space that will allow them to express meanings, values and experiences, and consider that becoming ill is a process that incorporates dimensions of life that go beyond the physical. As health professionals, we need to be aware of the multiple and creative abilities used in the daily lives of these families, so that we can, along with them, reinvent a new way of dealing with health

Vivências compartilhadas de filhos separados pela hanseníase no RN a luz da história oral de vida

Several epidemics marked the lives of individuals and communities in all historical periods, and a prime example is leprosy, infectious disease marked by stigma, prejudice and social exclusion. In the past, the compulsory isolation of patients with leprosy caused serious social and psychological problems, resulting in the separation and the partial or total disruption of the family relationship. Children deprived of this living, removed often inhumanely, were kept and bred in preventoriums / educational establishments. This study aimed to: rescue the oral history of life of the children of leprosy patients that were built in preventorium Osvaldo Cruz, Natal, Rio Grande do Norte; develop a contextual analysis about these children; know the life trajectory of children of leprosy patients institutionalized in preventoriums / educational establishments; produce a documentary on the history of life of children of parents separated by leprosy; forming MORHAN of Rio Grande do Norte state; and implement the I Meeting of MORHAN of Rio Grande do Norte state. This is an exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, approved by the ERC No. 024/024/2012 Liga Norteriograndense Contra o Câncer. We used the contributions of the method and technique of oral history of life as methodological reference. We interviewed 10 individuals egress from preventorium Osvaldo Cruz in Natal/RN, sons of former patients proven to be residents in the city, of both sexes, older than 18, with cognitive, intellectual and emotional conditions preserved. The analysis of the histories obtained from collaborators was performed in the light of Thematic Content Analysis. The results and discussions are presented through two articles which meet the proposed objectives. The first, called Contextual Analysis on the children of leprosy patients in preventoriums aimed to record the phenomenon of children of leprosy patients in preventorium through four contextual levels, which identified the need to broaden the debate on public policy in the field of leprosy as a way to enable more effective measures to propagate in the search for harm reduction and direct consequences resulting from stigma and marginalization around patients and their healthy children, egress from preventoriums. The second, Leprosy and the denial of history: the story of separated children , aimed to know the life trajectory of children of leprosy patients who were institutionalized in preventoriums / educational establishments. In this article, we discuss the research question through the establishment of three main themes: 1. Losses and damages: disintegration and reintegration into the family and denied childhood; 2. Unforgettable: remarkable things you do not forget; and 3. Expectancy in living new situations: in search of other paths and destinations. These thematic axis highlighted the negative implications for the lives of the subjects, arising from the separation of their parents, leprosy patients at the time of compulsory isolation; however, has also been shown that this separation was not decisive in their life histories, once they have succeeded in providing a new sense of these experiences and lead their lives with dignity and fortitude. It was concluded that these children demonstrated resilience as form of defense and fighting stigma and prejudice, being able to reinvent themselves and build new paths and destinations

Luna Clara e o Apolo Onze do arquivo ao repertório : o limiar de uma transescritura em Adriana Falcão

La palabra archivo tiene origen en el vocablo griego arkhê, en lo cual puede indicar comienzo y comando. Tal palabra puede ser usada para representar distintas ideas. Al ser considerada como un conjunto, puede reunir las informaciones existentes sobre un determinado asunto en cualquier área del conocimiento humano.(DERRIDA, 2001) Esas informaciones, por su vez, son constantemente modificadas por el repertorio de los usuarios de eses archivos. Cada individuo, al usar ese repertorio, lo hace de una manera diferente, pues las posibilidades son variadas. Entre estas, está la performance, que permite la elaboración de una transescritura, un modo de escribir que va más adelante del padrón convencional. Para que sea comprendida como tal, la escritura necesita realizar una transgresión, quebrar el canónico.(RAVETTI,2003) Adriana Falcão transgride, al consultar el archivo y reinventarlo a partir de su propio repertorio, llegando a realizar una transescritura. En el romance Luna Clara e Apolo Onze (2002). En este, archivo y repertorio están en constante mescla, criando nuevas relaciones entre literatura, historia, mitologia, lengua, artes, temas humanos y sociales. El romance es entonces percibido como una narrativa que performatiza nombres, hogares, conceptos, ideas, a través de una marca que por ser tan plural es única, peculiar, representación de la literatura infante-juvenil del siglo 21

Nietzsche e a modernidade: da crítica à metafísica à crítica à democracia

This dissertation presents an interpretation concerning the critical considerations of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche on Modernity, especially Nietzsche s criticism of Modernity, of Christian mores and democracy produced by him in Beyond Good and Evil. Nietzsche attentively analyses details of Modernity, produces a diagnosis of modern man and discovers the sign of decay. We consider that Nietzsche s criticism of modernity is directly linked to the criticism of classic metaphysics. We emphasize questions like: what in us aspires to truth? Christian mores: why and what for? What characterizes modernity? Could it be the appeal to the democratic taste? Is it possible to reinvent Modernity? We stress the relation between the notion of truth, democracy and Christian mores, showing that these mores were also inherited from the Socratic culture. We also intend to clarify Nietzsche s proposal of a new way of doing philosophy, that would be able to surpass the decay which rules in European modern culture. The end of this research points out to the ―philosophers of the future‖ who are able, according to Nietzsche, to claim life beyond the metaphysics opposition, beyond the good and the evil

Matemática e cultura amazônica: representações do brinquedo de miriti

No Município de Abaetetuba-Pará existe uma prática socioeconômica de produção de um artesanato local que vem se consolidando como mais uma cultura dos povos amazônicos. Os "brinquedos de miriti‟, como são popularmente conhecidos, são produzidos a partir de uma palmeira nativa da Amazônia, o miritizeiro (Mauritia flexuosa). As peças artesanais manufaturadas tiveram sua origem perdida no tempo, mas têm sua tradição mantida com o passar dos anos pelos artesãos que produzem e comercializam esse artesanato, cujos picos de venda ocorrem, primeiro em junho depois em outubro, por ocasião do Festival do Miriti, em Abaetetuba, e do Círio de Nazaré, na capital Belém, respectivamente. Esses artesãos, além de reproduzirem no brinquedo o cenário Amazônico no qual convivem cotidianamente, demonstram intenções, inventam e reinventam saberes aqui entendidos como Representações Sociais. Deste modo, este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar representações matemáticas e patrimoniais presentes no artesanato de miriti de Abaetetuba; analisar peças, identificando conhecimentos escolares e não escolares; analisar elementos do contexto cultural e socioambiental que contemplem a educação patrimonial ambiental sob o ponto de vista etnográfico, aproximando aspectos sociais, culturais e ambientais das relações matemáticas presentes no brinquedo de miriti. A fundamentação teórico-metodológica dessa pesquisa baseia-se na Teoria das Representações Sociais, com características de cunho etnográfico. Os dados foram analisados com base no discurso dos artesãos do brinquedo de miriti. A partir das Representações e do convívio com dois grupos de artesãos – ASAMAB e MIRITONG- foi percebida preocupação e respeito ao meio ambiente pelos artesãos em todas as fases do processo de produção do artesanato, faltando poucos ajustes para tornar essa prática sustentável. O saber fazer dos artesãos está recheado de Cultura e conhecimentos repassados de maneira informal e bastante peculiar característicos da Educação Patrimonial Ambiental. Elementos matemáticos identificados nas peças, nos procedimentos e nas representações, estão em alguns casos, coerentes com discussões em etnomatemática.

Discurso moderno e psiquiatria reformada: considerações sobre um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS)

A presente dissertação tem o objetivo de discutir a relação entre um dos novos serviços de intervenção e cuidados sobre a loucura, o Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS), e o olhar psiquiátrico que se construiu ao longo do século XIX. O CAPS, amparado pelos preceitos da Reforma Psiquiátrica Brasileira, visa, tal como outros dispositivos, combater o modelo asilar de assistência à loucura que se deu ao longo dos séculos, sobretudo sustentado, a partir do período moderno, no discurso psiquiátrico que tomou a loucura como objeto de seu saber, transformando-a em doença mental. O método utilizado para investigação foi a observação participante que se deu através da presença direta da pesquisadora no campo de estudo, descrevendo os elementos que circunscreveram o objeto de pesquisa, tais como: oficinas terapêuticas, grupos de psicologia e de família, acolhimento, assembleias e demais atividades, coletivas ou individuais, que fazem parte da dinâmica própria do serviço investigado. Inicia com a descrição do objeto, CAPS II: Santa Izabel, desde sua implantação no município de Santa Izabel do Pará, em 2001, até suas configurações atuais. Em seguida fundamenta os preceitos da Reforma Psiquiátrica que regulamentam ideologicamente este serviço, situando as referências históricas que culminaram neste movimento reformista, a partir das contribuições teóricas foucaultianas sobre o poder psiquiátrico e transformação da loucura em doença, bem como referencia demais autores que se apropriaram desta temática no contexto europeu, brasileiro e paraense. A Psicanálise é tomada, nesta dissertação, como uma possibilidade de apostar no sujeito possível de advir e existir, destacando as contribuições de Freud e Lacan sobre a teoria psicanalítica da psicose. Finaliza com análise dos dados coletados, aproximados ao referencial bibliográfico, demonstrando que, apesar do CAPS propor a ruptura com o modelo asilar instituído pelo saber psiquiátrico, naquele século, várias ações que se sustentam nesse objetivo, atualizam práticas asilares que, ao invés de darem um novo lugar à loucura, reeditam o enclausuramento imposto aos sujeitos que vivenciavam tal experiência subjetiva. Conclui que o CAPS precisa problematizar e relativizar as exigências regulamentadas pela Reforma e por sua lei, para conseguir resistir ao saber medicalizante que se faz tanto presente quanto antes, e assim conseguir reinventar práticas, conceitos, e modos de existência à loucura.

Ciências da Funcionalidade Humana e Sustentabilidade Ambiental: a junção das partes constitui o todo?

The content of this article addresses two complex issues that concern contemporary society: Science of Human Functioning and Environmental Sustainability. On the one hand, the Science of Human Functioning, meeting the principles of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) and Universal Design, aim the development of accessible projects, products and environments, used by everyone, at the greatest extent possible, free from adaptation or plans to remove architectural barriers. The Universal Design is a process for creating products that are accessible to everyone, regardless their personal characteristics, age, skills and needs. On the other hand, Environmental Sustainability, with principles already imbricated in the Science of Human Functioning, traverses towards the acquisition of realistic measures for the segments of human activities. Based on the emphasis of the sustainable development, it aims to meet current needs not compromising the possibility of future generations to meet their own needs. Thus, it seeks the balance in coexistence between men and the environment by taking care of environmental, social and economic aspects and seeking for alternatives to support life on Earth with no harm to the quality of the planet in the future. It is argued that the combination of the issues contains relevant potential for interdisciplinary action, bringing together professionals from several fields of knowledge that, by socializing their experiences aiming at improving the human functioning and quality of life of people and environment, will be able to innovate and reinvent the knowledge for benefiting welfare, thus contributing effectively to society.

Os deslimites da poesia e os reflexos do mundo: uma leitura de No banheiro um espelho trincado

Lyric poetry is where the relationships between world perception, language and representation are mostly problematized. In fact, poetic creation oscillates between the desire of a realistic expression of the world, beings and things and the understanding that its urgent task is simply to reinvent the world order and denaturalize it. Thus, Sérgio Mello’s poems in No Banheiro um Espelho Trincado (2004) conceive a poetry mainly concerned on the tension between words and things; between the lyric subject and the world; between language and the reality it encloses, through groups of images that range from the natural to the rupture process. His poems are small pieces of narrative, scenes that are articulated through the cutting technique, like the process of a cinematographic edition.

O papel do relações públicas na cultura da convergência

In the globalized world of capitalism, the organizations need to reinvent themselves in order to conquer the attention of the consumers. The offer of similar products is huge and it is necessary to innovate so the consumer will pick yours. The storytelling comes as an auxiliary tool for this difficult task. The transmedia is a tool that will put the products in many different media platforms. The convergence culture exists to make the experience with the brand become closer. Sometimes the consumer dictates the rules; in other moments the producers take this function for themselves; nowadays, this relation occurs in terms of the intense interactivity with the consumer. Concerning the Public Relations professional, among the questions that remain, we can city: where does the professional of Public Relations fit itself inside this complex context? Which would be its functions amid this whirlpool of information in the convergence culture era? These are the questions that are going to guide this paper

Análise de métodos alternativos para o ensino de química: uma síntese a partir das propostas de metodologias ativas de ensino

The lack of motivation and the excessive quantity of subject memorization are some of the main causes for the disinterest of students when learning chemistry. To change this scene, it's necessary that the teachers reinvent themselves and innovate during their classes, making use of alternative methodologies for the chemistry teaching process. The objectives of this work are to evaluate, from a constructive methodology approach, the characteristics, possibilities and limitations of some techniques and methods of teaching. This analysis allowed to present the results in the form of a table summarizing these characteristics and can be useful for teachers to choose the right strategy to be used

Continuity and Change in New Products

This doctoral dissertation is triggered by an emergent problem: how can firms reinvent themselves? Continuity- and change-oriented decisions fundamentally shape overtime the activities and potential revenues of organizations and other adaptive systems, but both types of actions draw upon limited resources and rely on different organizational routines and capabilities. Most organizations appear to have difficulties in making tradeoffs, so that it is easier to overinvest in one of them than to successfully achieve a mixture of both. Nevertheless, theory and empirical evidence suggest that too little of either may reduce performance, indicating a need to learn more about how organizations reconcile these tensions. In the first paper, I moved from the consideration that rapid changes in competitive environments increasingly require firms to be “ambidextrous” implementing organizational mechanisms and structures that allow continuity- and change-oriented activities to be engaged at the same time. More specifically, I show that continuity- and change-related decisions can’t be confined either inside or outside the firm, but span overtime across distinct decision domains located within and beyond the organizational boundaries. Reconciling static and dynamic perspectives of ambidexterity, I conceptualize a firm’s strategy as a bundle of decisions about product attributes and components of the production team, proposing a multidimensional and dynamic model of structural ambidexterity that explains why and how firms could manage conflicting pressures for continuity and change in the context of new products. In the second study I note how rigorous systematic evidence documenting the success of ambidextrous organizations is lacking, and there has been very little investigation of how firms deal with continuity and change in new products. How to manage the transition form a successful product to another? What to change and what to keep? Incumbents that deal with series of products over time need to update their offerings in order to have the most relevant attributes to prospect clients without disappoint the current customer base. They need to both match and anticipate consumers’ preferences, blending something old with something new to satisfy the current demand and enlarge the herd by appealing to newer audiences. This paper contributes to strategic renewal and ambidexterity-related research with the first empirically assessment of a positive consumer response to ambidexterity in new products. Also, this study provides a practical method to monitor overtime the degree to which a brand or a firm is continuity- or change- oriented and evaluate different strategy profiles across two decision domains that play a pivotal role in new products: product attributes and components of the production team.
