Avalia����o dos processos de tratamento do glicerol proveniente da produ����o do biodiesel

The substitution of diesel by biodiesel meets the current scenario to increase the consumption of alternative energy sources promoting sustainable development of a country. However, the production of biodiesel concurrently generates the formation of glycerine in the process is a by-product. The main application of glycerine is in the food industry, cosmetics, soaps, pharmaceuticals, among others, but these segments are not capable of absorbing the generated volume of glycerine, whereas the total volume of the biodiesel produced about 10% correspond to glycerine. Glycerine obtained from the transesterification reaction (necessary for production of biodiesel) triglycerides and alcohol contains certain impurities such as water, salts, esters, alcohol, and residual oil, which decrease the value. Thus, the purification process or the direct use of glycerine become essential to make it competitive biodiesel production process. This work aims to evaluate the different processes of purification and the use of glycerine obtained as by-product in the production of biodiesel. The research was theoretical, based on technical articles and theses published on this subject, and from these databases was established a summary of the most important processes

ENGA: trajet��ria, mem��ria e perspectivas

A Geografia brasileira ainda carece de sua hist��ria. Nos anos mais recentes, numerosos artigos t��m aparecido, tentando recuperar essa falha, mas nota-se, ainda, a falta de um documento mais abrangente, que recupere os momentos fundamentais, os acertos e os erros, os avan��os e as crises no progresso do conhecimento geogr��fico desenvolvido entre n��s. E a lacuna se faz sentir, tamb��m, em termos de informa����es precisas sobre pesquisas, eventos, trabalhos publicados e teses defendidas, sem as quais n��o se pode reconstruir, de forma segura, a trajet��ria da Geografia brasileira.

Espa��o, territ��rio e paisagem: uma leitura te��ricometodol��gica da Geografia Agr��ria brasileira na p��s-gradua����o a partir dos anos 1970

The aim of this study was to propose a reading of theoretical and methodological geography of Brazilian agriculture in Post-Graduate Studies in Geography (PPGE's) from the Southeast, from the 1970s, trying to present a discussion of the analysis categories (space, territory, landscape, region and place) that has been unleashed over the meetings of Agrarian Geography (ENGA's) and in three meetings of the Research Groups of Agrarian Geography (2005, 2006, 2007). So, we started with the hypothesis that the relativization of scientific concepts may impair development of spatial concepts only. To accomplish our objective we carried out a survey of dissertations and theses supported in the period 1970 to 2009, in Post-Graduate in Geography and UFU UFMG (Minas Gerais), UFRJ, UFF and UERJ (Rio de Janeiro) and USP, UNESP / Rio Claro, UNESP / Presidente Prudente (Sao Paulo). The evaluation dealt with the quantitative and drew a profile of Agrarian Geography. Qualitatively, further analysis, crossing information, contextualizing the themes and especially evaluating the theoretical set referenced in the works, an indication of the possible paths followed by this branch of the Brazilian Geography for which it is observed that the references to the categories space and, more specifically the organization of space, was prioritized in the 1980s and the territory as a reference work after 1990.

A met��fora fundamental do discurso de John Dewey

This work aims to identify the rootmetaphor of John Dewey���s philosophical and educational discourse, by means of rhetorical analyses parameters. This methodology is founded in Aristotle and in the works of Cha��m Perelman and other contemporary authors involved in the revision of Aristotelian philosophy. The article examines the essays ���The philosophical work of Herbert Spencer��� and ���The influence of darwinism on philosophy���, published by John Dewey respectively in 1904 e 1909. They were written in the early years of Dewey in Columbia University, which intellectual environment was not dominated by Pragmatism, and for this reason they can be considered seminal in the structuring of the author���s arguments. The analysis reveals that Dewey is favorable to Darwinian evolutionism thesis and opposite to Spencer���s one. This positioning suggests that Dewey���s discourse is bound to the metaphor ���undetermined route��� because it situates evolution as a process devoid of previously listed purposes at a pre-determined plan, subject only to the relations that are established, so unpredictable, between organisms and the environmental conditions that surround. Analyzing Dewey���s ideas about education, the article concludes that ���undetermined route��� is the rootmetaphor of Dewey���s discourse, hypothesis that can contribute to discuss Dewey in the context of contemporary philosophy.

Or��amento Participativo (OP) ap��s vinte anos de experi��ncias no Brasil: mais qualidade na gest��o or��ament��ria municipal?

This article consists on an analysis of dissertations and thesis on Participatory Budget (PB) in post-graduation courses in Brazil (from the CAPES data bank), from 2000 to 2009. It also makes the evolution of works explicit, the institutions where they were carried out, and the area in which they were produced. Results show that the Participatory Budget has not been often evaluated, understood and explained in terms of its finance and budget technical dimension, in spite of there are two decades studies have been carried out regarding this method on budget management in Brazil. Finally, the importance of understanding aspects on PB must be taken into consideration when carrying out new studies.

O estudo das pr��ticas de professores alfabetizadores no ensino da leitura e da escrita (1980 a 2005): o mudar �� muito dif��cil

Neste artigo, apresentamos os resultados de um estudo que investigou o que as pesquisas dos Programas de P��s-Gradua����o em Educa����o do Estado de S��o Paulo produzidas entre 1980 e 2005, com foco nas pr��ticas de professores alfabetizadores, dizem a respeito dos procedimentos, pr��ticas e saberes que caracterizam a atua����o desses docentes. Primeiramente, fazemos uma breve contextualiza����o da alfabetiza����o. Em seguida, destacamos a an��lise do corpus (8 teses e 32 disserta����es) nos focos tem��ticos: procedimentos de alfabetiza����o, pr��ticas docentes e saberes docentes. Os dados apresentados neste artigo permitem apontar perman��ncias e ind��cios de altera����es nas pr��ticas dos alfabetizadores e, consequentemente, nas pesquisas sobre essas pr��ticas.

An��sio Teixeira e a psicologia: o di��logo com a psican��lise

This paper analyses the ideas and the work of An��sio Teixeira in the first years of the 1930s, focusing his conceptions concerning the value of Psychoanalysis for Educational Reform in Brazil. Whereas the ideas and practices Teixeira should be understood in the historical context in which they were developed, the work presents the history of the introduction of the psychoanalytic knowledge in the Brazilian Renovator Educational Movement, highlighting the relevance of hygienism in the dissemination of Freud's theses in education. The findings indicate that Teixeira interacted with the concepts of Psychoanalysis through the hygienist movement and the ideas of Arthur Ramos, considering the individual as being linked to the social environment.

Criopreserva����o de s��men equino: uma revis��o

A utiliza����o do s��men resfriado na esp��cie equina �� amplamente difundida, no entanto, quando se trata do s��men congelado existem certos entraves, os quais tornam o emprego desta biot��cnica limitado. Por��m seu uso est�� crescendo e com isso pesquisas com meios diluidores e protocolos de congela����o t��m sido realizados, a fim de se estabelecer um protocolo que seja eficiente para a congela����o do s��men da maioria dos garanh��es. Essa revis��o sistem��tica tem como objetivo a an��lise de estudos que tratam da congelabilidade do s��men equino, bem como os principais componentes de um meio diluidor, a fim de demonstrar suas fun����es e fornecer alternativas para a substitui����o ou associa����o, principalmente de crioprotetores. Para tanto, foram utilizadas bases de dados com a seguinte estrat��gia: criopreserva����o, congelamento, diluentes, crioprotetores, glicerol, leite, s��men e equino, presentes no t��tulo ou resumo. Dentre os artigos encontrados foram selecionados 15 artigos nas l��nguas portuguesa, espanhola e inglesa, publicados em revistas cient��ficas ou teses de mestrado, doutorado e trabalhos de conclus��o de curso. Tais artigos permitiram concluir que n��o existem protocolos de congelamento definidos para grupos de animais, mas que deve ser observado cada indiv��duo, ressaltando sua peculiaridade e estabelecendo o melhor diluente e protocolo

Fragmentos de experi��ncias no campo da Sa��de Mental e Aten����o Psicossocial

Neste artigo, reflito sobre a minha experi��ncia como psic��loga e docente-supervisora de est��gio do curso de Psicologia de uma Universidade p��blica. Atrav��s de fragmentos de registros mn��micos das produ����es registradas em relat��rios, comunica����es e artigos cient��ficos, disserta����o de mestrado, teses de doutorado e de livre docente, entre outros, procurei analisar a efetiva����o das pol��ticas p��blicas e os desdobramentos na constru����o de um novo modelo de sa��de mental, denominado de Aten����o Psicossocial. Observei que atualmente as Pol��ticas P��blicas para Sa��de Mental, constru��das a partir do Movimento da Reforma Psiqui��trica, v��m propiciando mudan��as significativas para o cuidado dos usu��rios. No entanto, o estado atual da assist��ncia em sa��de mental, no pa��s, �� marcado por muitos problemas e desafios. Entre eles se destaca a necessidade dos novos servi��os oferecerem uma aten����o integral ao usu��rio, norteada na interdisciplinariedade, interprofissionalidade e intersetorialidade.

A autoconfronta����o e seus usos no campo da lingu��stica aplicada ao estudo do trabalho do professor

The objective of this study was to present the use of selfconfrontation in applied linguistics (AL) research on teachers��� activities. Selfconfrontation was developed by Fa��ta (1997), and improved by Clot (2006) within the context of Activity Clinics. It is a device that attempts to capture the multiple discourses around an activity and enable its transformation by workers. Thus, a qualitative research approach was employed and documental analysis of theses, dissertations and papers abstracts produced in Brazil (1987 to 2011), available in the electronic site of CAPES, was performed. The results demonstrated that selfconfrontation is used in a fragmented manner in AL studies that examine teachers��� activities, being primarily used for the collection of data, with little emphasis being placed on the transformation of the labor process.

O trabalho como dispositivo de aten����o em sa��de mental: trajet��ria hist��rica e reflex��es sobre sua atual utiliza����o

The partnership between Mental Health (MH) and work is present throughout the history of psychiatry. Capitalist society has used and uses the fitness or unfitness for work not only as one of the elements to the definition of "normality", but also as a treatment strategy. In this perspective, one can find a position healing and, more recently, a different proposal put forward by the psychiatric reform that considers also make / produce, the construction of meaning in the work as crucial for subjectivity. This sense is present in therapeutic workshops that seek to value the uniqueness, not to override the differences. The objective of this paper is to reflect on the relationship between Attention in SM / Work. Initially presents three theses, from which this relationship is built historically: 1 - Work as a means of avoiding idleness returning productively to society; 2 - Work as a healing practice, from the prescription, and 3 - Work as a strategy for care and social inclusion. Below, we discuss some questions about therapeutic workshops and income generation in the mental health care as a device for attention and social inclusion.
