Gest��o transversal das pol��ticas p��blicas no ��mbito federal: uma leitura inicial

Embora o uso do termo "transversalidade" esteja se tornando, a cada momento, mais comum no Brasil, muitas d��vidas ainda pairam sobre o seu significado. A literatura que se prop��e a debater o tema oscila entre explicar a transversalidade como uma mera importa����o da ideia difundida na Europa de gender maintreaming e o debate sobre formas alternativas de gest��o p��blica. No entanto, pouco se l�� sobre a forma como isso se d�� na pr��tica, no contexto governamental brasileiro. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo compreender quais os usos e sentidos que a ideia de transversalidade adquire na pr��tica no ��mbito da gest��o p��blica. O termo transversalidade, costuma ser visto nos debates sobre pol��ticas de combate �� desigualdade entre homens e mulheres por sua rela����o com o gender mainstreaming. No entanto, no governo federal brasileiro, entre 2003 e 2012 (per��odo analisado nessa pesquisa), tr��s s��o as Secretarias reconhecidas por serem agentes de pol��ticas transversais: a Secretaria de Pol��ticas para Mulheres (SPM), a Secretaria de Direitos Humanos (SDH) e a Secretaria de Pol��ticas de Promo����o da Igualdade Racial (SEPPIR). Al��m de realizar uma reconstru����o hist��rica de como se desenvolveram os ��rg��os governamentais brasileiros que tratam da tem��tica de g��nero, tamb��m foi feito um esfor��o de caracteriza����o das tr��s Secretarias. Assim, ap��s a caracteriza����o que demonstrou aspectos formais dos ��rg��os, s��o apresentadas an��lises de entrevistas com gestores das Secretarias que demonstram o uso transversalidade nas suas a����es cotidianas de trabalho. Os apontamentos sistematizados a partir desses depoimentos, contribu��ram para a realiza����o de uma an��lise, do ponto de vista da gest��o p��blica, sobre como o termo transversalidade �� utilizado para se tratar de a����es relacionadas ao combate a um problema "maldito" (wicked problem).

Alinhamento de prop��sito: uma vis��o transversal nas organiza����es p��blicas

A abordagem do desenvolvimento organizacional de forma estrat��gica estabelece os recursos humanos como um dos eixos principais para atingir resultados e possibilita no atual contexto da Gest��o P��blica, a dissemina����o de seus prop��sitos, aperfei��oando e buscando, cada vez mais, sinergia atrav��s de um ambiente com objetivos claros a todos os envolvidos. Este artigo tem como tema central a transversalidade de vis��es, como uma ferramenta de planejamento estrat��gico na gest��o dos departamentos do Estado, atrav��s da lideran��a, comunica����o e envolvimento das equipes de forma transversal na estrutura organizacional, contextualizando as atividades do agente p��blico sobre ���o que queremos realizar���, e obtendo como resultado alinhamento de prop��sitos e, consequentemente, efetividade em suas a����es.

Organiza����es sociais. Implementa����o da reforma gerencial. Proposta de inova����o legislativa com a inclus��o da organiza����o social transversal

O modelo de gest��o gerencial implantado no pa��s no final da d��cada de 1990 vem apresentando resultados positivos, sobretudo nas ��reas de cultura e de sa��de, e se observa o crescente n��mero de contrata����o de entidades privadas para implanta����o e gerenciamento de equipamentos p��blicos. Dentre as v��rias possibilidades contratuais deste modelo de gest��o que pressup��e o estabelecimento de uma parceria entre o Poder P��blico e uma entidade privada, encontra-se o contrato de gest��o com Organiza����o Social devidamente qualificada. A partir da an��lise de casos ocorridos em todas as esferas da federa����o, este trabalho apresenta uma proposta de altera����o da legisla����o de qualifica����o de Organiza����es Sociais, com a introdu����o de um dispositivo que permita a qualifica����o de entidade multifuncional visando a gest��o de equipamentos e atividades diversificadas, mas conexas ou contiguas, com o intuito de explorar ao m��ximo o potencial de tais equipamentos ou atividades. Nos cap��tulos que se seguem veremos a conceitua����o doutrin��ria e a defini����o legal de Organiza����o Social. Abordaremos tamb��m as possibilidades de avan��os no alicerce jur��dico para permitir novos tipos de arranjos, sem desfigurar o modelo de gest��o previsto inicialmente na legisla����o federal, estadual e municipal.

Direitos humanos e participa����o social: desafios para a gest��o transversal de pol��ticas p��blicas

Esta disserta����o foi desenvolvida visando problematizar a gest��o da transversalidade nas pol��ticas de direitos humanos e de participa����o social no Munic��pio de S��o Paulo, considerando as propostas e pr��ticas da rec��m-criada Secretaria Municipal de Direitos Humanos e Cidadania (SMDHC). A partir do m��todo de estudo de caso desenvolvido por Robert Yin (2001), buscou-se compreender a estrutura da Secretaria, os mecanismos pelos quais desenvolve seu papel articulador e elaborador de pol��ticas p��blicas e os principais desafios da sua gest��o transversal. Partindo de um referencial te��rico sobre o conceito de transversalidade e intersetorialidade e a rela����o destas com as pol��ticas p��blicas de direitos humanos e de participa����o social, foram estabelecidas seis var��veis de an��lise que orientaram a constru����o deste trabalho ��� gest��o estrat��gica, participa����o social, gest��o de informa����o, gest��o administrativa e de pessoas, capacidade pol��tica e institucional e rela����es federativas.. Os autores concluiram que a radicaliza����o da transversalidade como modelo de gest��o favorece a universaliza����o da garantia dos direitos humanos na cidade de S��o Paulo. Ao final foram formuladas propostas que visam contribuir para a gest��o transversal das pol��ticas p��blicas, sob a perspectiva de garantia e defesa de direitos e participa����o social e fortalecimento do papel articulador da Secretaria no conjunto da Prefeitura.

Applying negotiation skills in the design of public policies: analysis of the city of S��o Paulo���s invoice program

The author argues that by applying problem-solving negotiation skills in the design of public policies, public administrators benefit from more effective and wide-ranging outcomes in the realization of their goals. In order to demonstrate this idea, the author analyzes how negotiation skills ��� such as identifying key actors and their interests, recognizing hardbargaining tactics and changing the players, knowing your best alternative, creating value and building trust ��� permeated and contributed to the success of the City of S��o Paulo���s Invoice Program (���Programa Nota Fiscal Paulistana���), a public policy aimed at combating tax evasion of service tax in the City of S��o Paulo.

Desempenho internacional de empresas exportadoras: um modelo estrutural baseado em capacidades organizacionais e ambiente

The internationalization as an organizational phenomenon fundamentally strategic had as theoretical contributions some Schools that throughout the decades 60, 70, and 80 developed behavioral and economic approaches in order to explain the process. The behavioral approach deals with the perception of phenomenon as a gradual process from the perspective of the executives behavior (JOHANSON and VAHLNE, 1977; HALL��N and WIEDERSHEIM - PAUL, 1979; CZINKOTA, 1985). This phenomenon in permanent theoretical and managerial evolution made an opportunity to build this investigation, whose goal is to analyse the impact comes from organizational capabilities and the external environment on the international performance of exporting firms. For both, were used as theoretical basis two types of analysis for the comprehension of international performance: Strategic Management - Industrial Organization and Resource-Based View and International Businesses - Current Economic and Behavioral. It was made a cross-sectional survey-based explanatory research, including 150 exporting companies with operations in the Northeast of Brazil. A conceptual model was made with eight constructs and eight research hypotheses, representative of the effects of external factors on international performance. The data were processed using the Exploratory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. The structural equations model was reespecified and estimated through the use of the maximum-likelihood method up to achieve adequated values of indexes of adjustment. As the main theoretical contribution, were identified organizational and physical resources which shows the importance of the management skills development, of the learning capability and capability to establish strategic alliances abroad. That because the knowledge, as the operational point of view as in its strategic application, offers to organization conditions of market positioning which can create opportunities sustainable competitive advantages and which impact the performance of international companies

Valida����o de instrumentos para avalia����o do conhecimento e da habilidade acerca da sondagem vesical de demora

That study had the aim to validate an instrument to evaluate the knowledge about the Urinary Catheterization (UC) in males. Cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative and methodological study, accomplished in Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN) and a private university from Rio Grande do Norte. Sample of 27 judges selected from the inclusion criteria: registered nurses, discipline of semiology and/or semiotics teachers, with at least 1 year of experience in the disciplines, to work at UFRN, UERN or in private university and agree to participate voluntarily with the signing of the Consent Form. Study developed in three stages: a) elaboration of twos instruments based on the scientific literature, resulting in a structured observation script type checklist consisting of 36 items and a knowledge questionnaire with 12 questions; b) submission of instruments to judges from June to September 2012, which should evaluate each item in "adequate," "adequate with changes" and "inappropriate", and make an overall evaluation of each instrument based on 10 requirements; c) and validation with a verification of the agreement level among the judges, through the application of Kappa Index (K) and Content Validity Index (CVI). It was used the consensus level higher than 0.60 (good) for Kappa Index and higher than 0.70 for CVI. The research project had favorable opinion from the Ethics in Research/HUOL (CAAE n. 0002.0.294.000-10). After being coded and tabulated, the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Of the 27 judges who evaluated the instrument, 77.8% are female, with a mean age of 36.6 (�� 9.0) years, 63.0% worked in UFRN, 74.1% had master degree and 63.0% worked exclusively on teaching. The experience time mean in teaching was 7.9 (�� 8.0) years and in the disciplines of semiology and/or semiotics in nursing was 5.5 (�� 6.7) years. In judgment of the checklist and knowledge questionnaire, no step/question was considered inappropriate, since all achieved level of agreement within the established values. All the checklist steps obtained good to excellent K (between 0.60 and 1.00). Of the 36 items, 25 had excellent K (0.75 &#8804; K <1.00) and excellent total K (K = 0.83). Regarding the IVC, all steps reached levels above 0.70 (between 0.74 and 1.00) and CVI total was 0.90. All questionnaire questions evaluated separately (K from 0.60 to 0.93 and CVI from 0.74 to 0.96) and generally (K from 0.79 to 1.00 and CVI from 0.89 to 1.00) had evaluation levels of content validity within the established values. The instruments were reformulated based on the agreement levels between judges and international guidelines, dissertations and scientific articles. Both instruments proved to be valid regarding to their content, allowing a clear and objective evaluation of knowledge and skills about UC, both nursing students as well as other students and health professionals, since the use of valid measures seeking the reduction of the risk of the results distorted

Avalia����o do m��dulo de elasticidade da madeira com uso de m��todo n��o-destrutivo de vibra����o transversal

Numerosas pesquisas t��m estudado os m��todos n��o-destrutivos de avalia����o de materiais e sua aplica����o ��queles de matrizes complexas, como �� o caso da madeira. Um dos primeiros m��todos n��o-destrutivos investigados para aplica����o nesses casos foi o da vibra����o transversal. Apesar de sua concep����o simples, e a despeito dos grandes avan��os obtidos nessa ��rea com outros m��todos, como, por exemplo, o ultra-som, o m��todo de vibra����o transversal para a determina����o do m��dulo de elasticidade da madeira revela-se como de grande potencial de aplica����o, sobretudo pela precis��o do modelo matem��tico a ele associado e pela possibilidade de sua aplica����o a pe��as de dimens��es estruturais (in-grade testing). Neste trabalho, apresenta-se o uso desse m��todo na determina����o do m��dulo de elasticidade de tr��s esp��cies de eucalipto. Foram ensaiados n��o-destrutivamente e por ensaios mec��nicos convencionais de flex��o corpos-de-prova de 2 cm x 2 cm x 46 cm de E. grandis, E. saligna e E. citriodora. Os ensaios n��o-destrutivos foram conduzidos com uso do sistema BING - Beam Identification by Non-destructive Grading, que permite a an��lise das vibra����es do material nos dom��nios do tempo e da freq����ncia. Os resultados obtidos revelaram boa correla����o entre os dois tipos de ensaios empregados, justificando o in��cio dos ensaios com pe��as de dimens��es estruturais, para a viabiliza����o da t��cnica nas pr��ticas de classifica����o estrutural.

Descontinuidade na se����o transversal em laminados comp��sitos polim��ricos: efeitos e propriedades

The growing demand in the use of composite materials necessitates a better understanding its behavior to many conditions of loading and service, as well as under several ways of connections involved in mechanisms of structural projects. It is know that most of the structural elements are designed with presence of geometric discontinuities (holes, notches, etc) in their longitudinal sections and / or transversals, and that these discontinuities affect the mechanical response of these elements. This work has aims to analyze a study of the mechanical response, when in the presence geometric discontinuity, of polymer matrix composite laminates (orthophthalic polyester) to the uniaxial tensile test. The geometric discontinuity is characterized by the presence of a center hole in the transversal section of the composite. In this study, different kinds of stacking sequences are tested, with and without the presence of the hole, so as to provide better understanding of the mechanical properties. This sense, two laminates were studied: the first is only reinforced by with seven layers short mats of fiberglass-E (CM) and the second where the reinforcement of fiberglass-E comes in the form of bidirectional fabric (CT), with only four layers. The laminate CT has the presence of anisotropy (sense of continuous fibers with respect to the applied load) as the main parameter influencing its mechanical behavior, behavior this, not observed for the CM. In addition to the mechanical properties was also studied the fracture characteristics developed in each composite laminated. The results also showed that the presence of the hole in the transversal section decreased the ultimate strength of laminates and changed the final characteristic of fracture in all kinds of composite laminated studied

Previs��o do m��dulo de elasticidade transversal de comp��sitos unidirecionais atrav��s de redes neurais mistas

The aim of this study is to create an artificial neural network (ANN) capable of modeling the transverse elasticity modulus (E2) of unidirectional composites. To that end, we used a dataset divided into two parts, one for training and the other for ANN testing. Three types of architectures from different networks were developed, one with only two inputs, one with three inputs and the third with mixed architecture combining an ANN with a model developed by Halpin-Tsai. After algorithm training, the results demonstrate that the use of ANNs is quite promising, given that when they were compared with those of the Halp��n-Tsai mathematical model, higher correlation coefficient values and lower root mean square values were observed

Sintomatologia depressiva e concentra����es do cortisol em idosos residentes na comunidade: um estudo transversal

Introdu����o: Vem sendo crescente o n��mero de pesquisas que buscam o entendimento das rela����es entre os desfechos adversos �� sa��de e as concentra����es do cortisol salivar, o qual �� um marcador de estresse biol��gico. O cortisol parece seguir dois est��gios de resposta: em situa����es de baixo/moderado estresse ocorre ativa����o do eixo Hipot��lamo-Pituit��ria-Adrenal, aumentando o n��vel do cortisol, entretanto, quando o estresse persiste, o eixo HPA parece tornar-se hipoativo. A sintomatologia depressiva parece ter rela����o com as concentra����es do cortisol, no entanto, essa rela����o �� controversa na literatura. Objetivo: Analisar a rela����o entre sintomatologia depressiva e concentra����es do cortisol em uma amostra de idosos do Nordeste brasileiro, residentes na comunidade. M��todos: Estudo observacional anal��tico, de car��ter transversal, em uma amostra de 256 idosos (&#8805; 65 anos), residentes na comunidade. A sintomatologia depressiva foi avaliada pela vers��o brasileira da Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (&#8805; 16) e as concentra����es do cortisol atrav��s da coleta salivar (ao acordar, 30 minutos ap��s acordar, 60 minutos ap��s acordar, ��s 15 horas e antes de dormir), al��m de medidas compostas. Como co-vari��veis foram avaliadas condi����es sociodemogr��ficas e de sa��de. Para an��lise das medidas do cortisol entre idosos com e sem presen��a da sintomatologia depressiva, e entre os sexos, foi realizado o teste t de Student. Para verificar as diferen��as entre as medidas do cortisol em cada curva foi utilizada a An��lise de Vari��ncia (ANOVA) de medidas repetidas, com teste post-hoc de Bonferroni. Resultados: Houve diferen��a significativa para a medida de cortisol salivar ao acordar, entre os idosos com presen��a e aus��ncia da sintomatologia depressiva (p=0,04). N��o houve signific��ncia em rela����o ao sexo. Na an��lise entre as medidas de cada curva, foi observado que nos idosos com sintomatologia depressiva a 1�� medida n��o teve diferen��a significativa em rela����o �� 2�� e 3�� medidas. Al��m disso, n��o houve diferen��a significativa da 4�� medida em rela����o �� 5��, demonstrando um maior n��vel noturno de cortisol para os idosos com sintomatologia depressiva, sem decl��nio, com aspecto plano da curva. Conclus��o: Parece existir rela����o entre sintomatologia depressiva e hipocortisolismo. Entretanto, no Brasil, as condi����es adversas de vida podem levar ao estresse cr��nico e serem fatores fortes suficientes para sobrepor maiores diferen��as que pudessem existir em rela����o �� presen��a da sintomatologia depressiva

Est��gio menopausal e n��veis hormonais no desenvolvimento muscular e funcional em mulheres de meia idade: um estudo transversal

Introduction: Hypoestrogenism is the main characteristic of female aging. It promotes significant changes in body composition, both in fat mass as in lean body mass, leading to a decrease in muscle strength and physical performance. Objective: The aim of this study was to test whether menopausal status and hormone levels are associated with muscular strength and physical performance in middle-aged women. Methods: In a cross-sectional study it was collected sociodemographic data, gynecological history, anthropometric and biochemical measures in women aged 40 to 65 years in Parnamirim-RN. The menopause status (pre, peri and post menopause) was determined by menstrual history. All women underwent three dimensions of physical performance assessment: handgrip dynamometry, gait speed and chair stands test - Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Categorical data were presented as absolute and relative frequencies. Quantitative data were showed as mean and standard deviation and the normality of distribution was verified with Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test. Biochemical measures of estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were transformed to log10. ANOVA with Tukey post-test for comparison of variables between the groups pre, peri and post-menopausal was performed and then multiple linear regression analyzes. Results: Two hundred and seventy eight women aged 50.2 (��5.58) years composed this study, being 50 women in premenopausal status (18%), 122 in perimenopausal (43.9%), and 106 postmenopausal stage (38.1%). The groups were different in age (p=0.001), marital relationship duration (p <0.001), number of pregnancies (p=0.001) and parity (p=0.001). Differences in biochemical measures were observed among the groups: estradiol (p<0.001), FSH (p<0.001), total cholesterol (p=0.001). There were no differences in gait velocity between menopausal status. Values in mean of grip strength decreased by postmenopausal women to perimenopausal and premenopausal ones (24.5 �� 5.1, 25.6 �� 5.4, 26.9 �� 4.9 for post-stage, pre and peri menopausas, respectively, p = 0.02) and the performance of chair stands test was better in premenopausal women compared with that in peri and postmenopausal status (p = 0.02). In multiple linear regression for muscle strength, the variables that remained were: age, estradiol and somatic symptoms measured by Menopause Rating Scale-MRS (R2=0.15). While for the xiv chair-stands test the predictors were number of births and FSH values (R2=0.04). Conclusion: There is a relationship between the stages of menopause and muscle performance in measures of grip strength and sit-up test and these are influenced by the fall of estrogens levels. Data suggest that the decrease in muscle strength and physical performance already appear in the transition to menopause stage, pointing to the need for more research in this area and appropriate preventive interventions
