Financiamento e educação profissional: análise do Programa Brasil Profissionalizado no estado do Pará

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar as implicações do Programa Brasil Profissionalizado no financiamento da educação profissional da rede estadual de ensino do Pará. O Brasil Profissionalizado é um programa de assistência técnica e financeira, instituído pelo MEC durante o segundo mandato do Governo Lula (2007-2010), visando expandir a educação profissional oferecida pelas redes públicas estaduais de ensino no país, tendo como foco a implementação do ensino médio integrado à educação profissional. A pesquisa foi precedida por uma revisão bibliográfica acerca da política de financiamento da educação, das políticas de educação profissional no Brasil e das estratégias do Governo Federal em efetivá-las por meio do financiamento de programas de cooperação técnica e financeira. Em seguida, a pesquisa envolveu a análise documental da legislação (decretos e resoluções) que instituiu e regulamentou o Programa Brasil Profissionalizado do MEC/FNDE e de documentos elaborados pela SEDUC/PA relacionados ao planejamento e monitoramento do Programa na rede estadual de ensino. A coleta de dados foi complementada com a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas dirigidas à coordenação do Programa Brasil Profissionalizado no MEC e na COEP/SEDUC para avaliar o processo de implementação e financiamento do Programa e suas implicações no estado. O estudo identificou uma recorrente disputa, entre as instâncias públicas e o setor privado, pelo fundo público para financiar a educação profissional, pois não há uma definição legal e constitucional de destinação de recursos para a oferta pública do ensino profissional. As estratégias de financiamento das políticas de educação profissional são realizadas por meio de programas de governos que se efetivam de forma fragmentada e desarticulada em vários Ministérios do Governo Federal, destacando-se a falta de organização em torno dos recursos disponibilizados e a pouca coordenação entre projetos e ações destinados à formação profissional. O estudo realizado mostrou fragilidades na constituição de programas de financiamento da educação profissional que podem revelar os limites do Programa Brasil Profissionalizado por se trata de mais um Programa e não de uma política de financiamento. Os dados revelaram que a implementação do Programa no estado trouxe importantes contribuições para a consolidação da rede estadual de educação profissional, verificadas na elaboração de um planejamento da gestão da educação profissional, na expansão da rede estadual, no crescimento da oferta de vagas e cursos e na elevação das matrículas, sobretudo, no ensino médio integrado. Contudo, a formação de professores e a manutenção das escolas é responsabilidade do Estado e, portanto, se inscreve na pauta dessa discussão, a luta pela garantia de fontes de financiamento para a continuidade das políticas de educação profissional no setor público que garantam uma oferta de ensino com qualidade.

Instituições de formação profissional - história e perspectivas: o projeto da nova institucionalidade da educação profissional brasileira dos anos 1990

Problematizamos o projeto da "nova institucionalidade da educação profissional", presente em diferentes programas federais, gerados no Governo Fernando Henrique Cardoso, que pretendia promover uma renovação ampla da educação profissional brasileira. Focamos nos efeitos de diferentes programas de educação profissional sobre o quadro institucional da educação profissional em Belém-PA, no período de 1995 a 2003. Verificamos que estes programas se orientavam por referências identificadas com o pragmatismo e que, por meio de observações e entrevistas, a renovação da educação profissional não se efetivou e que o produto mais evidente do conjunto de ações realizadas foi a reprodução do ideário, segundo o qual a educação profissional deve estar subordinada aos interesses fragmentados e imediatos do mercado. Finalizamos indicando que uma nova educação profissional ainda está por ser construída.

Tackling ionospheric scintillation threat to GNSS in Latin America

Scintillations are rapid fluctuations in the phase and amplitude of transionospheric radio signals which are caused by small-scale plasma density irregularities in the ionosphere. In the case of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, scintillation can cause cycle slips, degrade the positioning accuracy and, when severe enough, can even lead to a complete loss of signal lock. Thus, the required levels of availability, accuracy, integrity and reliability for the GNSS applications may not be met during scintillation occurrence; this poses a major threat to a large number of modern-day GNSS-based applications. The whole of Latin America, Brazil in particular, is located in one of the regions most affected by scintillations. These effects will be exacerbated during solar maxima, the next predicted for 2013. This paper presents initial results from a research work aimed to tackle ionospheric scintillation effects for GNSS users in Latin America. This research is a part of the CIGALA (Concept for Ionospheric Scintillation Mitigation for Professional GNSS in Latin America) project, co-funded by the EC Seventh Framework Program and supervised by the GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA), which aims to develop and test ionospheric scintillation countermeasures to be implemented in multi-frequency, multi-constellation GNSS receivers.

A organização e seus relacionamentos: uma abordagem semiótica do conceito de público

Typology of companies networks for competitive assessment: an application in higher education institutions

Taking into account the changes in the market scenario by virtue of globalization, Institutes of Higher Education (IES) as well as other organizations seek their competitive stability. For that reason, it is up to organizations to adopt innovative models of management for their operations aimed at improving results. Company networks consist of a model that is perfect for uniting efforts through cooperation among partners in a given business, which can involve ties of different natures. This paper shows the development and the application of an auxiliary technique to analyze the intensity, nature and importance of internal and external relations in the formation of results for a company network. For such, a multiple case study was conducted at two IES in the State of São Paulo and their networks of partners and employees in order to observe their specificities and organizational strategies. The study demonstrated the existence of specific performance criteria (pillars) for each IES and its network, resulting from its competitive reality. It reveals evidence that the education pillar is strengthened in both cases, and the research pillar is growing, although it is the weakest. The outreach pillar is the most robust in the public IES and the financial sustainability pillar is relevant for the private IES, and it was only detected in this IES.

On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students in the College of Arts and Sciences, I want to thank you for your interest in this collection of abstracts of undergraduate research for 2003. This collection is the first we have published, and we expect it to be number one in a long and increasingly impressive series. The importance of this collection is what it represents. These abstracts are the results of untold hours of hard work by students and faculty. Through that work, students have learned much about the research process, developed important critical and analytical thinking skills, improved writing abilities, and deepened relationships with faculty mentors. Many students have presented their research in classes, through seminars, and at professional meetings. In this work, faculty have been challenged to push students to do the best they can, to let them flounder as they struggle to solve the problems at hand, to hold them to deadlines, and to know how to encourage and when to scold. I know from personal experience that working together on meaningful research is a powerful way to build lasting relationships between students and faculty members.

Burnout syndrome and Brazilian civil aviation: a short essay on the focus on prevention

Introduction: At the same time that there are increased demands we have become more sedentary, increasing risk factors for new diseases. All this reflects on our quality of life with special emphasis upon a particular syndrome called Burnout. Aviation is no exception and packed into its processes each day more expeditious, promotes a perfect environment for the development and spread of the syndrome.

Framing the difficulties resulting from implementing a Participatory Management Model in a public hospital

Objective: This study aims to address difficulties reported by the nursing team during the process of changing the management model in a public hospital in Brazil. Methods: This qualitative study used thematic content analysis as proposed by Bardin, and data were analyzed using the theoretical framework of Bolman and Deal. Results: The vertical implementation of Participatory Management contradicted its underlying philosophy and thereby negatively influenced employee acceptance of the change. The decentralized structure of the Participatory Management Model was implemented but shared decision-making was only partially utilized. Despite facilitation of the communication process within the unit, more significant difficulties arose from lack of communication inter-unit. Values and principals need to be shared by teams, however, that will happens only if managers restructure accountabilities changing job descriptions of all team members. Conclusion: Innovative management models that depart from the premise of decentralized decision-making and increased communication encourage accountability, increased motivation and satisfaction, and contribute to improving the quality of care. The contribution of the study is that it describes the complexity of implementing an innovative management model, examines dissent and intentionally acknowledges the difficulties faced by employees in the organization.

Regionalization and access to healthcare in Brazilian states: historical and political-institutional conditioning factors

This article examines the healthcare regionalization process in the Brazilian states in the period from 2007 to 2010, seeking to identify the conditions that favor or impede this process. Referential analysis of public policies and especially of historical institutionalism was used. Three dimensions sum up the conditioning factors of regionalization: context (historical-structural, political-institutional and conjunctural), directionality (ideology, object, actors, strategies and instruments) and regionalization features (institutionality and governance). The empirical research relied mainly on the analysis of official documents and interviews with key actors in 24 states. Distinct patterns of influence in the states were observed, with regionalization being marked by important gains in institutionality and governance in the period. Nevertheless, inherent difficulties of the contexts prejudice greater advances. There is a pressing need to broaden the territorial focus in government planning and to integrate sectorial policies for medium and long-term regional development in order to empower regionalization and to overcome obstacles to the access to healthcare services in Brazil.
