Para onde caminham os Cieps? Uma análise após 15 anos

O trabalho descreve aspectos da realidade dos Centros Integrados de Educação Pública - Cieps -, da rede estadual do Rio de Janeiro, baseando-se em pesquisa, realizada em 2001, com 50 diretores. Estabelece comparações com a época em que essas escolas foram implantadas sob a forma de programa especial de governo, levando em conta o funcionamento em horário integral, as dificuldades de gestão, as atividades oferecidas, a quantidade de alunos por escola, a utilização e conservação dos espaços. Conclui que a variedade dos níveis de ensino abarcados e a convivência de diferentes regimes horários num mesmo estabelecimento demonstram a vocação ainda pouco definida de tais escolas. A opinião dos gestores sobre o trabalho desenvolvido nos Cieps que mantiveram o horário integral mostra que eles o consideram, muitas vezes, assistencialista, embora essa definição seja vaga e muito variada. Após mais de 15 anos de existência, a tendente municipalização do ensino fundamental e a pressão por vagas no ensino médio parecem ser os maiores entraves para a manutenção dessas escolas segundo seu projeto original.

Traumatic Brain Injury in Iowa: An Analysis of Core Surveillance Data 2006-2008, July 15, 2011

Termed the “silent epidemic”, traumatic brain injury is the most debilitating outcome of injury characterized by the irreversibility of its damages, long-term effects on quality of life, and healthcare costs. The latest data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that nationally 50,000 people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) die each year; three times as many are hospitalized and more than twenty times as many are released from emergency room departments (ED) (CDC, 2008)1. The purpose of this report is to describe the epidemiology of TBI in Iowa to help guide policy and programming. TBI is a result of an external force which transfers energy to the brain. Stroke is caused by a disruption of blood flow in the brain that leads to brain injury. Though stroke is recognized as the 3rd leading cause of death nationally2, and is an injury that affects the brain it does not meet the definition a traumatic brain injury and is not included in this report.
