El trabajo que aqu se presenta tuvo como objetivo investigar una institucin escolar en la ciudad de Macau / RN. Esta institucin, que fue innovadora en su contexto social y pedaggico, fue pesquisada a la luz de los parmetros de la historia cultural. Una escuela que fue creada en el siglo XX, en el ao de 1923, cuando el pas an viva la efervescencia de la implantacin del nuevo ordenamiento poltico - la Repblica. Elegimos como objeto de estudio las fiestas escolares, que tuvo lugar en esta institucin durante el periodo 1949-1962, procurando aclarar cmo ocurra la realizacin de estas fiestas y cmo fueron fundamentales para el funcionamiento de las relaciones polticas, sociales y culturales en el mbito escolar. El anlisis y la interpretacin de las fuentes documentales escolares, los documentos de otras instituciones, las entrevistas abiertas, la informacin oral, la legislacin de la educacin y de las escuelas, los peridicos y documentos oficiales de la poca relacionados con la temtica y que formaron el corpus documental, se basaron por obras de Souza (1998), Juli (2001), Castro (1997), Kossoy (2001) Saviani (2005), Escolano (1992) y Carvalho (1990). Por tratarse de una institucin de enseanza, el anlisis central es la cultura escolar y la historia de la educacin brasilea es el campo de la investigacin, haciendo una relacin de las fiestas escolares. En el relato, se reconstituyen las festividades cvicas, solemnes y recreativas, adems de los elementos de formacin que se evidencian en el discurso de la educacin moderna. Para ello, buscamos entender que, en las prcticas cotidianas de la escuela, haba un mtodo de actuacin que segua las directrices del Departamento de Educacin. Estas directrices eran dadas por medio de las normas y decretos editados y se adentraban en el discurso en torno de las iniciativas emprendidas para difundir las nuevas prcticas pedaggicas, y dentro de ellas, en el momento apropiado, los profesores dedicaban un tiempo de sus clases para explicar acerca de los das festivos y sus organizaciones. Estas constataciones fueron certificadas por la documentacin listada y por las entrevistas abiertas, y nos seal para el modelo escolar propugnado por el Grupo Escolar Duque de Caxias, que era fruto del nuevo orden republicano

This study aimed to analyze the phenomenon of abdication of monitoring/treatment of crack users in a CAPS AD in Campina Grande-PB. That s an exploratory , description approach ,whose theoretical focus was historical-dialect of public politics on alcohol and drugs. The information collected was realized by using the technique of semi-structured interviews, combined with the crack users registered in CAPS AD in Campina Grande between 2007 and 2011.The material collected was subjected to thematic analysis method, obtaining the extraction of the following categories and subcategories of analysis: CATEGORY 1: Factors of abdication of monitoring/treatment in CAPS AD in Campina Grande PB with subcategory 1.1. Abdication on their own , 1.2. To take work/employment, 1.3 . Search for more intensive treatment , 1.4. Due to relapse; CATEGORY 2 : Treatment/monitoring in CAPS AD to the subcategory, 2.1. The dependence of crack and family support as reasons that led to frequent CAPS AD. CATEGORY 3: Living with crack addiction without treatment/monitoring in CAPS AD with the subcategory, 3.1. Religiosity as a therapeutic tool .The results showed a distance between priority for community treatment and the reality where there is lack of information about this kind of treatment and the admission as a solution. The discourse about the abdication of treatment of crack users make reference to the importance of family support, to the influence for the phenomenon of relapse and the affection to religious conceptions. Although the subjects recognize the qualifications of CAPS AD treatment, they try by themselves or by family influence, another ways of hospitalization. This leads us to conclude that it is necessary reflection and assessment of the work of CAPS AD. Counting on the social changes and the need of answers that the phenomenon requires

Waste stabilization ponds are the main technology in use for domestic sewage treatment in Rio Grande do Norte State (RN), northeast Brazil. The are around 80 systems, constructed mainly by municipal city halls, being series comprised by a primary facultative pond followed by two maturation ponds the most used configuration. Due to problems related with the production and destination of sludge and generation of bad odors, the designers have avoided the use of anaerobic lagoons. The majority of systems are rarely monitored to verify their efficiencies and to get new project parameters for future designing. This work has as purpose to make a diagnosis of efficiency of three series of waste stabilization pond series (WSPS) of Jardim Lola 1, Jardim Lola 2 and Beira Rio, located in the North Zone of the city of the Natal/RN, treating domestic raw sewage, on the removal of organic matter and thermotolerant coliform, comparing the operational conditions of the systems this inside of the bands foreseen in the project, through parameters BOD5, QOD, thermotolerant coliforms, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, ammoniac nitrogen, total and suspended solids. The work was carried through in the WSPS, all constituted by a primary facultative pond followed by two maturation ponds. Socioeconomic characteristics of population are predominantly low and all the plants are very near of the contributing basins. The series were monitored from of May the November of 2002, totalizing 20 collections of grab samples of raw sewage and ponds effluents between 8:00 and 9:50 h. The main aspect to be detached by the results was the great concentration of organic matter (BOD and COD) and microorganisms the raw sewage which were around two times more concentrated than those values foreseen one in project. Considering all series the highest removals of organic matter were observed in system Beira Rio (84 and 78% of BOD and COD, respectively), which presented high hydraulic detention time (TDH = 89 days). On the other hand, Jardim Lola 1 and Jardim Lola 2 presented a much lower values of HDT (36 days and 18 days respectively) and their removals of BOD and COD were the same (76% and 60%, respectively). The Beira Rio WSPS, was the most efficient verified in relation to solids and ammonia, proving the great influence of the operational variables such as HDT and applied surface organic loadings on the performance of pond series. Although the treatment plants have reached efficiencies of thermotolerant coliforms around 99,999%, the concentrations in the final effluent can be considered very high for launching in aquatic bodies, particularly those produced by Jardim Lola 1 and Jardim Lola 2 series

This thesis aims to identify how civil servants perceive changes made inthe carrying out of their work after their taking part in the Course forTechnicians in Public Management of the Government of Rio Grande do NorteState. As for the methodological procedures, an exploratory-descriptivequantitative research has been carried out through structured questionnaires appliedto 118 civil servants from the first groups of the Course for Technicians, thusshowing a margin of error of 4.18% to 95% of confidence, according to theprocedures of finite sampling. The table processing and analysis rested uponthe Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS and was carried outthrough univariate, bivariate and multivariate techniques with emphasis on thetechnique called Factor Analysis. It was possible to identify that the level ofsatisfaction of the students was high and there was a clear perception by themthat the course assisted to changes in their work. Through Factor Analysis itwas verified that the factors that may be related to changes in the work of thecivil servants are "Contribution to Society", "Efficiency andEfficacy in the Work Environment", "Applicability of Contents"and "Capacitating for Leadership". The conclusion of the studyindicates that the factors obtained are directly related to the basis of thenew public management by means of guidance toward efficiency and efficacy in aperspective of leadership, the contents of the course being thus made into newattitudes toward work which end up yielding better results for society

The present study has addressed the issues surrounding the Solidarity Economy and Tourism, their perspectives and contributions to the development process of local communities, as well as the connection point between the two. This study evaluated the extent to which social economy through cooperatives and associations in tourism has generated socio-economic improvements for the artisans of the tourist Serid. The study made as to their objectives, was exploratory and descriptive, since it involved both standard techniques of data collection, questionnaires and systematic observation, and secondary research and case studies, which characterizes an exploratory research, according to Castro (2008 ). The results indicate significant improvements offered by the inclusion of members in groups (associations and cooperatives) in matters concerning health, education, interpersonal relationships, and access to consumer credit to the artisans. Through this study, one might also note that the inclusion of products and services in tourism is not a relevant factor for the socio-economic improvements observed for the elevated presence of middlemen in the marketing process

This research aims to understand the use of the territory from the Rio Grande do Norte to the circuit spatial of production from the Biodiesel understanding it as part of the national context. The introduction of biodiesel into the Brazilian energy matrix begins to take shape in the year 2005 with the implementation of the National Program for Production and Use of Biodiesel (NPPB). This is anchored on three pillars: social inclusion (through family agriculture), environmental sustainability and economic viability. The NPPB consists of a set of standards, which turned into shares and distributed by almost all the national territory. Our reflection assumes that the places accommodating different forms of productive activities and, thus, the performance of the circuit space of biodiesel production depends on several factors, including the configuration of the territory they receive this new nexus economic. Understanding that the places by their technical content determine the realization of productive activities, it was found that the inclusion of this circuit space production in Rio Grande do Norte, reveals the reality expressed in the national territory, where some places are endowed with a privileged technical content and other extremely poor infrastructure. As our research could confirm the circuit space of biodiesel production that is expressed in the way plants are distributed within the country (mostly in South-Central), in more significant participation of small farmers in the South in the supply of raw material for the production of biodiesel and the main raw material used for the production of agrofuels (soybeans, whose production sector is highly consolidated and technified). Already the project materialization of NPPB regarding the settlements and communities of the Rio Grande do Norte State, we observed that the "event" or advent of realization encountered a technical means lacking in infrastructure that need to be molded to the needs of production, or is to cultivate castor beans or sunflower would be needed inputs and implements that farmers dont have. Given the above, the research concludes that, as proposed previously, the use of the territory of Rio Grande do Norte to this circuit has summarized the performance of experiments, either with regard to the participation of family farmers as suppliers of raw materials, including the development of related research in the stage of production fuel oil by Petrobras. This finding came from research done from the concept of "spatial circuits of production," which allowed the verification of the circuit that steps outlined in Potiguar territory. Regarding the inclusion of family farmers in the productive circuit in RN, research reveals that, in the manner as has been done, it is doomed to failure. Furthermore, we dare say that this persistence in trying to put these family farmers, the way is being made, and the resulting successive failures, indicating that social inclusion advocated by NPPB not take place, and that this production circuit relies on the same logic circuit concentrated and exclusive space for ethanol production

The objective of this study was to define a method for estimating soybean crop area in the Northern Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil). Overall, six different remote sensing methods were proposed based on spectral-temporal profile and minimum and maximum values of NDVI/MODIS related to the stages of sowing, maximum development and harvesting of soybean areas. The resulting estimates were compared to official crop area data provided by the Brazilian government, using statistical analysis and the fuzzy similarity method. The performance of each method depended on information such as crop size, type of crop management, and sowing/harvesting dates. Regression coefficients of determination and fuzzy agreement values were above 0.8 and 0.45, respectively, for all methods. For operational monitoring of soybean crop area, the empirical threshold applied to the image difference with inclusion of harvest image method was the most effective, producing estimates that matched closely the official data. For spatial analysis the application of multitemporal images classification method is recommended that generated a map of better quality. The efficiency of these methods should be evaluated in the areas of soybean expansion in the state.

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade estudar as relaes estratigrficas das rochas consideradas do Grupo Passa Dois no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Este estudo foi feito atravs de levantamento de seces geolgicas perpendiculares ao mergulho das camadas, em regies cujo reconhecimento preliminar determinou serem as mais propcias para a demonstrao das variaes faciolgicas das unidades. Foi completado com o estudo de testemunhos e perfis de sondagens e estabelecimento de seces colunares em reas consideradas interessantes e que no se prestavam para um perfil contnuo. Foram feitas cinco sees, estudadas trs reas complementares e sete sondagens, cedidas pela Companhia Riograndense de Minerao - CRM. Os trabalhos de campo foram completados com estudos de laboratrio que incluram anlises granulomtricas, lminas delgadas, testes colorimtricos e difrao de Raios X. A integrao dos dados de campo e de laboratrio mostrou que: 1 - O grupo Passa Dois est constitudo pelas Formaes Irati e Estrada Nova, estando ausente a Formao Rio do Rasto, na faixa aflorante no Estado; 2 - A espessura do Grupo Passa Dois, na faixa aflorante no Estado varia ao redor de 100 metros; 3 - A Formao Irati apresenta duas fcies litolgicas no Rio Grande do Sul. A primeira, quando presente, ocupa a posio basal e caracterizada pela ocorrncia de duas camadas de folhelhos pretos pirobetuminosos, associados com lentes calcrias fossilferas. As camadas de folhelhos pretos contm, entre elas, um pacote de folhelhos cinza com fratura concide, com concrees calcrias de colorao amarelo-palha. Estas trs camadas esto sobrepostas a um folhelho semelhante ao que est intercalado aos folhelhos pretos e contm as mesmas lentes calcrias. A essa fcies aqui proposta a designao fcies Tiaraju, indicando como rea tipo a regio a sul e a leste da estao Tiaraju, no municpio de So Gabriel. A segunda fcies, parcialmente sincrnica com a primeira, e que encerra a sedimentao Irati no Estado, atpica da Formao Irati do resto da Bacia e pode ser descrita como folhelhos cinza-claros e cinza-escuros, s vezes com ritmitos na base, com laminao cruzada, com lentes calcrias de cor amarelo-palha. Em algumas reas, como a Mina do Leo, os folhetos esto intercalados com siltitos e arenitos finos, de cor cinza, micceos. A parte superior, a oeste de Pntano Grande, cortada por veios verticalizados, espessura de 2 a 15 cm, preenchidos por slica. Para esta fcies proposta a designao fcies Valente e indicada como rea-tipo a regio a 5 quilmetros a norte do Passo do Valente, na estrada Bag-Acegu; 4 - O contedo fossilfero destas fcies da Formao Irati, no Rio Grande do Sul, o mesmo; 5 - A Formao Estrada Nova tambm se apresenta com duas fcies litolgicas bem distintas, sendo uma peltica e outra arenosa. Em todas as regies em que ambas ocorrem a arenosa situa-se no topo; 6 - O contato inferior da Formao Estrada Nova, com a Formao Irati, marcado pelo aparecimento das cores vermelhas de alterao, que se intercalam com cores cinza-esverdeadas nos folhelhos e folhelhos slticos. considerado como topo da fcies inferior o aparecimento de arenitos muito finos em camadas lenticulares de pequena espessura que se alternam com lamitos vermelhos. Para a litofcies aqui proposto o termo fcies Caveiras, sendo indicada como rea tipo a regio do Cerro das Caveiras no Municpio de Dom Pedrito; 7 - O contato superior da Formao Estrada Nova com a Formao Rosrio do Sul, sendo caracterizado pela ocorrncia de arenitos mdios, de colorao rosa, com estratificao cruzada planar ou acanalada, com conglomerados intraformacionais, ou de arenitos com estratificao ondulada. Este contato , na maioria dos casos, erosivo sobre os sedimentos da Formao Estrada Nova, sendo aqui interpretado como discordante; 8 - O membro superior caracterizado pela incidncia de corpos lenticulares de arenitos muito finos e pela ocorrncia de lentes calcrias com bordos irregulares, e de concrees calcrias elipsoidais de dimetros de mais de dois metros. A este conjunto aqui proposto o termo fcies Armada, sendo indicada como rea tipo a regio a leste do Rio Ibicu da Armada, na estrada BR-293, no Municpio de Dom Pedrito; 9 - O contedo fossilfero da Formao Estrada Nova no Rio Grande do Sul, presentemente conhecido, no permite caracterizar qualquer das duas fcies.

O tema central de nossa pesquisa so as interaes dos pentecostais com as questes socioambientais. Portanto, trata-se do estudo do grau de envolvimento dos pentecostais com as polticas pblicas ambientais e o meio ambiente em periferia urbana - Rio Grande da Serra - Grande ABC Paulista. A intensa presena dos pentecostais nos bairros mais perifricos da cidade permitiu-nos indagar sobre as relaes que esses mantm com a expanso urbana nas reas a serem protegidas, com os impactos ambientais, com consumo e ps-consumo na regio, na participao de polticas pblicas, bem como, os discursos e prticas religiosas interferem no comportamento dos religiosos frente a todas essas questes, uma vez que, a cidade est inserida em rea de Proteo e Recuperao de Mananciais, imbricada em um dos biomas terrestres mais ameaados de extino - o Bioma da Mata Atlntica. Como procedimentos metodolgicos servimo-nos das observaes empricas, registro dos aspectos e impactos ambientais, aplicao de formulrios e entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado, elementos que constituram uma trade instrumental analtica. Conclumos que os pentecostais embora sejam atuantes em questes sociais, todavia, no o so quanto s questes ambientais na cidade, pois, no participam de maneira mais efetiva nas polticas pblicas ambientais. Entretanto, os pentecostais demonstram uma potencialidade em participar do planejamento urbano participativo e dos processos de gesto urbana a mdio e longos prazos, desde que sejam estimulados, primando dessa maneira, pela proteo, defesa e justia ambiental nessas reas de vulnerabilidade socioambiental.

O municpio de Rio Grande da Serra est situado em uma regio Grande ABC paulista reconhecida nacionalmente por seu desenvolvimento econmico e industrial e pelas lutas polticas e sindicais. Paradoxalmente, se configura, social e territorialmente falando, por uma regio de periferia urbana. Resultado da forma como a urbanizao, na sociedade moderna, conforma o espao em regies centrais e perifricas. Localizado no caminho que ligava Santos Mogi das Cruzes (sculo XIX) povoado de Geribatiba decorrente das transformaes urbanas ocorridas em toda a regio, conquistaria, nos anos 1960, sua autonomia poltico-administrativa. Nas dcadas seguintes testemunhou intenso crescimento populacional, resultado do processo migratrio, principalmente de mineiros e nordestinos que tinham as cidades, e indstrias, de So Paulo e Grande ABC como destino. Esse deslocamento de pessoas, e as redes formadas em seu em torno, contribuiu para o desenvolvimento de seu campo religioso. Atualmente, com uma populao, em torno, de 46 mil habitantes, possui aproximadamente 180 locais de cerimnias religiosas. Nesse contexto, a tese analisa a insero regional socioeconmica e religiosa de Rio Grande da Serra, a partir de dados comparativos com os demais municpios, e discute como o regionalismo tem contribudo para seu desenvolvimento econmico. Realiza a caracterizao das periferias urbanas, discutindo aspectos que lhes so inerentes, como segregao e vulnerabilidade social. Nesse sentido, a investigao possibilitou a identificao do perfil socioeconmico (renda e escolaridade) dos participantes dos grupos religiosos (catlicos, evanglicos, kardecistas e umbandistas), permitindo, tambm, identificar desigualdades sociais no interior de seu territrio, constatando que determinados bairros so mais vulnerveis do que outros. Considerando que esse estudo examina a capacidade das redes sociais e religiosas, de aumentar o capital social de seus participantes, foi realizado o mapeamento e etnografia das diversas prticas associativas, mais ou menos formais e estruturadas, de forma a analisar os elementos materiais e simblicos por elas produzidos. Constatou-se, apoiado na aplicao de questionrios, entrevistas e observao participativa, que, a partir do habitus religioso de cada grupo, as redes possibilitam no mbito econmico questes como emprego e renda ou auxlio em necessidades bsicas de sobrevivncia, atravs de campanhas e trabalhos sociais. No mbito simblico, as redes propiciam questes importantes existncia humana, como a crena na salvao ou evoluo da alma, socializao, autoestima, prestgio ou ainda a expectativa de cura ou tratamento de dependncia qumica. Pde-se aferir que, a despeito das diferentes formas como cada grupo, e seus participantes, se apropriam do capital social, as redes sociais e religiosas, no municpio, funcionam como redes de proteo, especialmente populao em situao alta de vulnerabilidade social.

The diagnosis of nutritional status is extremely re levant in clinical practice and population assessment, due to the association betwe en body fat and metabolic alterations. The aim of this study is to analyze th e prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components in the pubertal stages of f emale students in Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil, in accordance with Internation al Diabetes Federation criteria. This is a cross-sectional study with 449 students aged betw een 8 and 19 years, stratified into pubertal stages systematized by Marshal and Tanner (1969), as follows: 27.6% prepubertal, 44.3% pubertal and 28.1% postpubertal, with mean ages of 9.41.27, 12.42.23 and 15.11.88 years, respectively. Preval ences were analyzed using distribution of frequencies and their respective 95 % confidence intervals, while the chi- square test and odds ratio were applied to analyze the associations between variables. The general prevalence of MS was 3.3% (CI: 2% - 5%) , without occurrences in the prepubertal stage, observing that it emerges from t he pubertal stage onwards with a prevalence of 2.5% (CI 95% 0.1% - 5%), 1% (CI 95% 0.4% - 2.3%) of cases with overweight and 1.5% (CI 95% -0.1% - 3.2%) with obes e individuals, while in the postpubertal stage the prevalence is 7.9% (CI 95% 3 .2% - 12.6%), 0.8% (CI 95% -0.8% - 2.3%) normal weight cases, 4% (CI 95% 0.6% - 7.4% ) overweight and 3.1% (CI 0.1% - 6.2%) obese individuals. There was an association (p<0.02) between pubertal stages and MS ( x 2 =5.2), with an OR of 3.3 (CI: 1.2 - 5), showing tha t postpubertal adolescents are more prone to SM than pubertals, while the OR i n obese individuals was 2.1 (CI: 2 2.2) compared to the overweight. Body mass index (B MI) ( x 2 = 29.4; p<0.001) and age range ( x 2 = 13.1; p<0.001) showed a significant linear assoc iation with MS. Of the adolescents with MS, those aged ten years or younge r exhibited higher %G. The most prevalent components in all the stages were altered waist circumference (27.2% [CI 23% - 31%]) and low HDL cholesterol (39.6% [CI 35% 44%]), which, coupled with hypertension, displayed significant differences in the postpubertal stage in relation to the other stages. The results show that MS emerges from the pubertal stage onwards in proportion to excess childhood body fat, a fact tha t calls for prevention strategies using an educational approach, reducing the large demand on the National Health System. Keywords: Metabolic syndrome, pubertal stages, risk factors.

The thematization of public space in the Maior So Joo do Mundo in Campina Grande - PB stimulates the economy and the local tourism from the transformation of a common public space in a setting that has the traditional June festivals based. To do so, contributes to promotion of existing creative sectors in the city and the design of a new city that is projected from the festivities of So Joo. In this research we propose to determine the influence of the thematization of public space in the local economy, particularly in creative sectors present in the Maior So Joo do Mundo and assess their importance for the development of local creative economy. We chose the case study, from an ethnographic approach, using different research techniques such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews with open questions and the analysis of social representations of respondents. The methodology used is mixed because it involves qualitative and quantitative data. We could notice at the end of this research, the thematization of public space in the Maior So Joo do Mundo is the main reference factor for the event, stimulating the local economy and changing the city's image in three levels: political, economic and social. Also realize that the thematization of public space is the key binding factor between the creative sectors as well as between them and the related activities. All these sectors serve as a link between the products and services, creating a harmonic whole that transforms the city's image, stimulates the economy, promotes social inclusion, cultural integration and keeps the Maior So Joo do Mundo as a traditional event in the tourist calendar regional and national.

The work presented here aims to make an analysis of the socio-spatial dynamics of associative supermarket chains and their importance in redefining the roles of small urban North Rio Grande cities. The theoretical approach gives priority to business as a city constituent whose understanding allows us to seize the new socio-spatial dynamics of small towns in the face of globalization and which caused changes in the scope of its commercial forms. In this sense, we understand that trade, as an essentially urban activity has a very specific characteristic, with respect to its ability to transform the content and meaning of places. Another important factor in the construction work was the context of changes in the capitalist production system with the advent of flexible production and the determinations of the economic globalization process that brought new ways of organizing trade. The empirical analysis of the research includes two associative supermarket chains, the Rede 10 and the Rede Serid, bringing together basic elements for understanding the genesis and evolution of this new organizational model of trade in small towns of the state, as well as allowed -In understand the main changes in this segment of commercial activity. The methodology we used literature in books and periodicals, collected mainly secondary data collection with the SEBRAE and the ABRAS and was still a field research where interviews were conducted forwarded along to the associative network managers to supermarkets, owners of associated facilities and with consumers of the surveyed networks .Finally, we conclude that the formation and expansion of associative supermarket chains in the context of small cities potiguares is essentially in a survival alternative traditional small traders, that sharing the associative principles albeit somewhat rigidly guided by the training cooperation networks can not only stay in the market , but to impose as a new agent in the capital of the reproduction process. Thus, the associative supermarket chains in the search for new spaces, particularly within small towns end up promoting new momentum in these cities providing different flows and interconnections with different places, giving new content and urban roles. By taking not only the condition of the place of living, but also the place to reproduce the capital, small towns offer their population better able to make purchases, thus avoiding the mandatory population shifts to other urban centers in order to meet their consumption needs.
