Diagnóstico da cultura organizacional em hospitais da rede privada de Natal/RN

As peculiaridades presentes no ser humano são observadas a partir da manifestação de sua cultura. Estas manifestações podem ser influenciadas pelo contexto social do indivíduo. A cultura nacional é uma destas influências. A brasileira, por exemplo, possui alguns traços nacionais peculiares ao seu povo que amenizam a sua complexidade e pluralidade. Estes traços podem se tornar influentes na cultura organizacional, através da manifestação das práticas e dos valores utilizados pela organização. Diante disso, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo diagnosticar a cultura organizacional dos hospitais, enfatizando as práticas e os valores organizacionais e a percepção dos colaboradores sobre a cultura organizacional. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa foi de caráter descritivo e explicativo. A pesquisa ocorreu através da aplicação do Instrumento Brasileiro para a Avaliação da Cultura Organizacional IBACO, com 283 sujeitos distribuídos em três hospitais da rede privada de Natal/RN. As evidências encontradas pelo estudo foram analisadas através do software estatístico SPSS, com as técnicas multivariadas de análise fatorial, análise de aglomerados e análise discriminante. A partir dessas análises, foram obtidos cinco fatores distribuídos entre práticas e valores apresentados pelo IBACO, que foram: as práticas de recompensa e treinamento; integração externa e promoção do relacionamento interpessoal; e, os valores de satisfação, bem-estar e cooperação dos empregados e profissionalismo competitivo. Os grupos encontrados na análise apresentaram divergências de opinião quanto às práticas e os valores utilizados nos hospitais. Concluiu-se, portanto, que o Hospital A apresentou uma cultura mais proativa e voltada mais para a satisfação e bem-estar dos funcionários. Já os outros dois hospitais apresentaram culturas semelhantes, com limitações quanto à valorização do bem-estar e da cooperação entre os colaboradores, porém com uma boa prática do relacionamento interpessoal

Programa de seguridad y salud ocupacional para las empresas dedicadas a la fabricación de ventiladores industriales del área metropolítana. Caso ilustrativo.

El Programa de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional es un instrumento necesario para las empresas, ya que cuenta con una serie de pasos como la planeación, ejecución, supervisión y evaluación de los procesos que contiene cada tarea en los lugares de trabajo a fin de salvaguardar la salud e integridad del trabajador. Debido a ello se ha visto la importancia en hacer el estudio enfocado a las empresas que están dedicadas a la fabricación de ventiladores industriales; es así como se ha tomado como caso ilustrativo a Industrias Metálicas Marenco, constituida en el año1975, en la ciudad de Santa Tecla, La Libertad, dando soluciones a los problemas de ventilación en El Salvador y a nivel de Centro América. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue construir un Programa de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional fundamentado en un marco teórico e investigación de campo que contribuya a la prevención de riesgos y accidentes ocupacionales de los trabajadores de las empresas dedicadas a la fabricación de ventiladores industriales del área Metropolitana.

El universo lo conformaron las empresas que están dedicadas a la fabricación de ventiladores industriales del área metropolitana. A través del diagnóstico realizado, se efectuaron las conclusiones y recomendaciones siguientes: Las empresas dedicadas a la fabricación de ventiladores industriales no cuentan con un programa de seguridad y salud ocupacional que establezca los requisitos básicos para garantizar la protección de los trabajadores en sus lugares de trabajo, además no tienen establecidas su ruta de evacuación y no poseen con un plan de emergencia que establezca las acciones a tomar ante la ocurrencia de acontecimientos imprevistos en sus instalaciones; las empresas proveen a sus empleados del equipo de protección personal lo que contribuye a disminuir los riesgos a sufrir un accidente pero no todo el personal lo utiliza. Se recomienda a las empresas dedicadas a la fabricación de ventiladores industriales implementar un programa que garantice un adecuado nivel de protección de seguridad y salud de los trabajadores frente a los riesgos derivados del trabajo, también desarrollar un plan de emergencia y de evacuación, de acuerdo a los lineamientos que presenta el programa de seguridad y salud ocupacional a fin de salvaguardar la seguridad en un momento de desastre, además se recomienda que las empresas hagan conciencia y creen una cultura de seguridad a través de brochure, boletín, charlas a fin que utilicen todo el equipo de protección personal en el desarrollo de sus actividades e implementar el programa de capacitaciones en seguridad y salud ocupacional con el fin que contribuya a obtener un mayor conocimiento al aplicar las medidas de protección en los lugares de trabajo.

Os programas de incentivo à cultura e o processo de fomento às organizações culturais no Rio Grande do Norte: o caso da Casa da Ribeira em Natal

Since the emergence of the first demands for actions that were intended to give greater attention to culture in Brazil, came the first discussions which concerned the way the Brazilian government could have a positive influence in encouraging the culture, as is its interaction with the actors interested and involved with the cause. During the military dictatorship, there were programs which relied on the direct participation of the State to ensure that right, from the viewpoint of its support and implementation of public resources in developing the "cultural product" to be brought to society in its various forms of expression - all this, funded by the government. It is an example of "EMBRAFILMES" and "Projeto Seis e Meia", continued until the present day in some regions of the country, though maintained by entities not directly connected with the administration or the government. However, it was from the period of democratization and the end of the dictatorship that the Brazilian government began to look at the different culture, under its guarantee to the society. Came the first incentive laws, led by "Lei Sarney" Nº 7.505/86, which was culture as a segment which could receive foreign assistance in order to assist the government in fulfilling its public duty. After Collor era and the end of the embargo through the encouragement of culture incentive laws, consolidated the incentive model proposed in advance of Culture "Lei Sarney" and the federal laws, state and local regimentares as close to this action. This applies to the Rouanet Law (Lei Rouanet), Câmara Cascudo Law (Lei Câmara Cascudo) and Djalma Maranhão Cultural Incentive Law (Lei de Incentivo à Cultura Djalma Maranhão), existing in Natal and Rio Grande do Norte. Since then, business entities could help groups and cultural organizations to keep their work from the political sponsorship under control and regiment through the Brazilian state in the form of their Cultural Incentive Law. This framework has contributed to the strengthening of NGOs and with the consolidation of these institutions as the linchpin of Republican guaranteeing the right to access to culture, but corporate social responsibility was the one who took off in the segment treated here, through the actions of Responsibility Cultural enterprises arising from the Cultural Organizations. Therefore, in the face of this discourse, this study ascertains the process of encouraging the Culture in Rio Grande do Norte from the Deviant Case Analysis at the Casa da Ribeira, the main Cultural Organization that operates, focused action in Natal in order to assess the relationships established between the same entity and the institutions which are entitled to maintain the process of encouraging treated in this study - Enterprise, from the viewpoint of corporate sponsorship and Cultural Responsibility and State in the form of the Laws Incentive Funds and Public Culture Incentive

Processamento e análise de imagens na caracterização da superfície do titânio submetido a um ensaio de cultura de células

This work aims to develop a methodology for analysis of images using overlapping, which assists in identification of microstructural features in areas of titanium, which may be associated with its biological response. That way, surfaces of titanium heat treated for 08 (eight) different ways have been subjected to a test culture of cells. It was a relationship between the grain, texture and shape of grains of surface of titanium (attacked) trying to relate to the process of proliferation and adhesion. We used an open source software for cell counting adhered to the surface of titanium. The juxtaposition of images before and after cell culture was obtained with the aid of micro-hardness of impressions made on the surface of samples. From this image where there is overlap, it is possible to study a possible relationship between cell growth with microstructural characteristics of the surface of titanium. This methodology was efficient to describe a set of procedures that are useful in the analysis of surfaces of titanium subjected to a culture of cells
