Em busca de modelos politico-institucionais para as regioes metropolitanas : o caso da região metropolitana de Fortaleza

Os problemas que a rápida urbanização criou são desafiantes. E são ate cruciais para aqueles de quem dependem as decisões para soluciona-los, enquanto, para a comunidade em geral, representam pesados sacrificios que chegam a causar impacto social muito forte. Os técnicos e estudiosos do assunto deveriam aproveitar esse desafio e buscar fórmulas organizacionais de planejamento e administração metropolitanos que promovam o crescimento urbano de maneira mais adequada e eficiente. Com a presente moonografia, procuramos: (1) estudar os antecedentes das organizações de planejamento e administração metropolitanos no Pais, sob os aspectos econômicos e sociais, políticos e institucionais; (2) analisar, particularmente, a Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza (RMF), descendo essa analise aos obstaculos enfrentados na sua imp1ementação, princ~palmente os polltico-institucionais, bem como, abrir mais possibilidades para o aprofundamento do estado da matéria.

O projeto politico pedagógico de enfermagem e o sistema único de saúde: a visão de discentes

This research aims to analyze, in the view of students, the pedagogic project of undergraduate nursing course, of UFRN, and its articulation with the SUS, in an attempt to understand the issues that permeate the teaching and learning of nursing. This is a qualitative study that used the focus group technique as a tool to collect empirical data. There were three meetings, where we had the collaboration of 23 graduating students from the eighth period of the semester 2009.1. For the analysis of information, we use a theoretical framework based on curriculum guidelines and basic principles of the SUS, making the analogy of the results with the metaphor of Greek mythology, Ariadne's thread, in dialogue with authors who discuss education as a transformative practice. Thus, the texture of the yarn was built of five thematic fields: joint the pedagogic project with the SUS; the teaching/service and theory/practice relation; interdisciplinarity or transdisciplinarity; didactic/methodological and relational approaches; and co-participation of students in the pedagogic project. According to the discussions, we find many difficulties in the teaching and learning process of undergraduate nursing in UFRN to strengthen the SUS, including: dislocation of educational institutions with services, professionals, managers and community; dichotomy between theory and practice; reality of services as a learning field and working process in health; posture adopted by professionals, teachers and other subjects included in the process of health education; decontextualization and fragmentation of teaching with the practice in health and nursing; excessive use of very illustrative methodologies, but little problem-solving; difficult and precarious situation in the relations between teachers and between teachers/students, regarding the acceptance of differences; absence of participation of students in the evaluation process and conduct of the educational project in progress. In this sense, we understand the need an auto-reflexive act of teaching and conducting collective pedagogical course with a view to achieving the SUS. Thus, it is necessary to support practices motivated by the polyphonic dialogue and the exercise of symbiosis and autopoiesis of subjects/actors jointly responsible for the ongoing process of learning for life.

Protagonismo politico e social na velhice: cenários, potencias e problemáticas

The active presence of the old ones in the society brings up discussions about the political and social participation in the advanced ages of the life. The senior citizen, like an actor of great relevance in the present time, shows their potential as scriptwriter and protagonist of their own history. However, many spaces constituted vertically, turned for this aim become artificial, abolishing, many times, the spontaneity and potential of these actors. Anyway, the important thing is to open spaces for the different expressions of social participation and that they find their legitimacy and place in the set of the protagonism that attaches life and sense to the world.
