A política de segurança pública no estado de Minas Gerais

Este trabalho faz uma abordagem acerca da política de segurança pública no Estado de Minas Gerais. Discute-se o próprio processo de formulação da política pública, procedendo-se a uma análise de seus fundamentos e da forma pela qual o Governo do Estado trata as questões a ela inerentes. Através de pesquisa seletiva, chegou-se a diagnósticos que demonstram a situação atual da política considerada, enfocando-se principalmente os aspectos relacionados a recursos humanos, logística e orçamento, sempre confrontados com os demais setores de atuação do Estado na vida social. A premissa básica que penneia toda a pesquisa é a de que não existe uma política de segurança pública, sistematizada, no Estado de Minas Gerais. A lógica da investigação da participação orçamentária da atividatfe de segurança pública, confrontada com a evolução do aparato policial, está na tentativa de se demonstrar a ausência do Estado no efetivo acompanhamento da necessidade social de segurança. Por meio da análise dos instrumentos utilizados na pesquisa, referendou-se o processo decisório da política, com a ausência de participação do staff político e gerencial do governo, mas centrado na divisão dicotômica dos organismos policiais do Estado, a Polícia Militar e a Polícia Civil, como planejadores, decisores e executores de toda a ação que envolva segurança pública. A dimensão institucional dessa atuação é calcada numa resposta pro ativa até certo ponto, mas a sua tônica é o "agir" ante as demandas surgidas e, principalmente, quando acionadas pelo clamor público. A alusão ao sistema de defesa social, previsto na Constituição do Estado, é a resposta da pesquisa para o atendimento dessa demanda social, aliado à adoção do policiamento comunitário.

Agressão no futebol

o presente tema - "Agressão no jogo de futebol” - teve primeiramente como objetivo investigar o problema da agressão no esporte popular brasileiro. Assim sendo o trabalho oferece uma visão introdutória, exploratória e descritiva dos aspectos principais com relação ao problema. Desta forma a análise está ligada a várias opiniões e posições que já foram expressas por um número de autores, e esta nossa análise está intimamente ligada a tudo que já foi publicado sobre este tema. Contudo, apresentamos uma ligeira inovação, uma contribuição muito especial. Ao dissertarmos de uma maneira, a mais clara possível, nos limitamos num ponto especifico que é o de vivermos a realidade do jogo de futebol. Cuidadosamente, conduzimos o tema principal do trabalho em direção ao papel fundamental dos dirigentes, treinadores, médicos desportistas, juizes de campo, preparadores físicos, advogados desportistas e psicólogos. Em suma, nós conduzimos nossa atenção ,para as pessoas diretamente envolvidas com a prática do esporte em geral na sociedade contemporânea, assim como da luta para combater os problemas cria dos pela agressão, aspecto particularmente relevante para os jogadores de futebol em situações de forte competição. Na segunda parte do trabalho, nós tivemos a oportunidade de fazer alguns contatos diretos 'e pessoais com vários jogadores conhecidos do futebol no Brasil, assim como outros tipos de profissionais que lidam com este esporte. Podemos dizer, que tal ordem de contatos foi desenvolvida através de, várias observações não só na hora dos treinos, mas também durante um número de jogos eliminatórios (finais), juntamente com algumas entrevistas individuais que depois eles concederam. Quando todas as peças foram colocadas nos próprios lugares é que o quadro ficou mais completo, expondo os fatores mútuos e interativos nos jogos. Falando de maneira geral, o modelo de melhor compreensão proposto para este trabalho foi detalhado de forma que pode ser baseado na observação direta da pesquisa de campo mas com um número especifico de dados para este tipo de· pesquisa, cujos principais objetivos foram as simples situações corriqueiras (significatiyas). Com este material, em nossas mãos, nós pudemos reformular algumas questões vitais que poderiam enriquecer o dia-a-dia da psicologia neste campo de conhecimento. Sem dúvida, essa ênfase atual da questão da agressão - e um problema crescente. O significado do combate a agressão não é fácil, digamos, de enquadrar numa simples elaboração de palavras. Na pesquisa que fizemos a conclusão é de que a agressão deve ser combatida desde muito cedo nos estágios das "escolas de futebol".

Televisão, frustração e agressão: um estudo de caso

Esta tese pretende levantar e problematizar a influência da televisão na investigação da agressividade infantil. Para esse objetivo selecionou-se dois grupos de crianças, um grupo experimental e outro de controle oriundos de dois estabelecimentos de ensino da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. As crianças que compuseram a população estudada variavam de idade entre cinco e sete anos. Projetaram-se dois filmes: ao grupo experimental, um filme de ação - aventura dado com frustração e ao outro grupo - grupo de controle - um filme neutro caracterizado pelo desenrolar de cenas da vida animal. A frustração ao grupo experimental foi introduzida através de três interrupções na projeção do filme, interrupções essas que, no contexto da programação infantil, seriam provenientes de anúncios, ou de quaisquer outros motivos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram questionários respondidos pelos professores e pelas crianças, anotados por dez auxiliares de pesquisa. O estímulo "diferencial foi introduzido através dos dois filmes. Seguiu-se a sessão lúdica onde predominaram brincadeiras de jogos e bola, sendo feito na ocasião um video-tape. As auxiliares de pesquisa anotavam também os itens que lhes foram solicitados.

Responsabilidade social empresarial nos hospitais privados do Distrito Federal

O presente trabalho explora e busca o entendimento do porquê dos Hospitais do Distrito Federal se engajam em práticas de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa. Iniciou-se com o levantamento da conceituação de RSC, analisando o que existe sobre o assunto, depois com uma definição específica foi elaborada uma pesquisa qualitativa de entrevistas com a alta gestão, e confortando com a visão dos colaboradores e da comunidade em que o hospital esta inserido. O mercado e a sociedade pressionam as empresas no que se refere à Responsabilidade Social e estas mudanças impactam diretamente na organização, nos seus objetivos e nas suas atividades junto à sociedade. Boa parte das políticas e ações de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa destes hospitais baseiam-se em visões não tão claras sobre o que é Responsabilidade Social, sendo uma resposta como consequência de pressões e obrigações. Porém verifica-se em alguns casos uma ação proativa de resposta social e fundamental na estratégia empresarial gerando benefícios para a empresa e toda sociedade. Este estudo revela que os hospitais privados do Distrito Federal possuem políticas e ou ações de responsabilidade social, devido a atividade ser inerente a saúde e por ter uma forte legislação e certificações que cobram destas empresas tais atitudes.

Why join a carbon club?: a study of the banks participating in the Brazilian “Business for Climate Platform”

Why do firms that present low levels of (direct) carbon emissions participate in “carbon clubs”, which have the goal of managing and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? In order to answer this question, we collected data from both primary and secondary sources from firms operating in the Brazilian banking sector, which are members of the Businesses for Climate Platform (Plataforma Empresas pelo Clima e EPC). We first looked for answers in the institutional theory and resource based view of the firm (RBV). By confronting the arguments presented by these streams of scientific enquiry with empirical data, we worked on theory testing. In particular, we analyzed the institutional pressures and resources and capabilities of the focus companies, in order to understand the rationales for proactive sustainability management. We found evidences of the arguments presented by both the institutional theory and the RBV. By studying an industry that is not a frequent subject to research on socio-environmental issues e for not being considered of high impact e in an emerging market economy, the research contributes to both the further development of the institutional theory and the advancement of sustainability management in corporations.

Leadership of portuguese community schools in the East Coast of the United States and the public policies of education: a multiple case studies

The Portuguese community schools of the United States located in the areas of larger Portuguese population concentration are social organizations that come materializing throughout decades the designs of the educative policies of the Portuguese government in relation to the expansion and preservation of the language, the culture and the history of Portugal. These designs of the educative policies are enrolled in the Constitution of the Republic (1976), in the Basic Law of Educative System (1986) and, over all, in the successive legislative norms (Decree-laws and ordinances) of the successive governments. Portuguese community schools in the United States are structuralized in analogous way to schools of the Portuguese geographic space. For this qualitative study (multiple case), four directors of Portuguese schools of the East Coast of the United States were interviewed; two schools are in the state of Rhode Island and the other two are in the state of Massachusetts. Also, it was administered the questionnaire on practices of leadership “Leadership Practices Inventory” (LPI) of Kouzes and Posner (2002) to collect additional data about practices of leadership on the directors of the schools. The LPI evaluates practices of leadership classifying them in five domains: (a) Model the way; (b) Inspire a shared vision; (c) Challenge the process; (d) Enable others to act; and, (e) Encourage the heart. Results of this qualitative research indicate that the Portuguese Government has not had an educative policy stimulant, coherent and consistent of support, incentive, maintenance and diffusion of the Portuguese language and culture and the directors of the studied schools they have a proactive and serving leadership style in conducting the management of Portuguese community schools. The five practices of leadership are highly practiced by the directors of the studied schools above all the practices “Enable others to act” and “Encourage the heart”.

Gestão híbrida em cooperativa de crédito: uma análise a partir do interesse, participação, satisfação e expectativa dos cooperados da COOPERUFPA

The globalization of markets has confirmed for the processes of change in organizations both in structure and in management. This dynamic was also observed in credit unions because they are financial institutions and are under the rules of the Brazil´s Financial System. Given the context of organizational changes in the financial capital has played the traditional management reform is urgent. In organizations credit unions, given its dual purpose, because in the same organizational environment and capitalism coexist cooperative whose logics are antagonistic, but can live through the balance between instrumental rationality and substantive rationality in credit unions. Based on this concept a new form of management should be thought to be able to accommodate the demand of cooperative, community, government and the market. Hybridization has been observed in management practices` COOPERUFPA into dimensions financial, social and solidarity participation with a trend in paradigmatic form of hybrid management, in that it directly or indirectly affect the management decisions in the credit union. The hybrid management is a trend that has been setting the basis for societal transformation, so that credit unions promote actions of welfare oriented cooperative members and the community around the same time that attend the dynamics of market globalization. These actions, in the context of hybrid management should be implemented by COOPERUFPA from the sociability of the remains and the wide diffusion of solidarity culture between cooperative partnership as a way to recover their participation in trade relations, financial and the social collective developement. For the members of COOPERUFPA financial interest is evidenced in greater relevance for the social interest given its dominant relationship as "mere customer" of the credit union, however, the proactive participation of the life of the cooperative credit union is one of its expectative among of participation of to share power in decisions by general meetings. This passivity`s cooperator of the COOPERUFPA in defending the ideals overshadowed the spread of cooperative principles and values of cooperation among them. Thus his conception for COOPERUFPA in the financial dimension, social and solidarity democracy, performed transversely. The COOPERUFPA for not developing an education policy for the cooperation among its members, contributed to a process of collective alienation of cooperative ideals, since the cooperative do not understand the reality that surrounds them as members of an organization whose mission is to social and financial sustainability of its members

Estética do apocalipse: (re) considerações acerca da (des) arborização urbana de Natal e seu contributo à saúde pública

This study intends to establish a relation between environmental degradation, particularly the devastation of the green canopy, and public health. Utilizing a mapping of the trees included in the researched area, each individual tree was analyzed according to its age, taxonomic listing, architecture, shape and size (determined by aesthetic/convenience reasons or deformed by pruning). Initially investigated were the covert reasons lying underneath the constant aggression against trees (which many times seem to contain elements of hatred and contempt) within the urban environment. In addition to that, the aspects concerning environmental modifications and the consequent impact on public health were also assessed. Two main problems promptly emerged as a result of the removal of trees: a) without a canopy to protect the areas, they became subject to winds directly blown from SW Africa and impregnated with aerosol partic les, which are common causes for respiratory disorders and, b) direct UV solar radiation, which causes some types of skin cancers and eye disorders. To reach such results, we studied the origins and formation of UV radiation induced cancers and searched for the UV radiation spectra of action, e.g., usual intensity and quantity reaching clear and shadowed spaces in a certain area and its consequences. In a second instance, we also searched for pertinent data resources in order to confirm the increase of skin cancer cases due to exposure to UV radiation and the relation between the destruction of the green canopy and the above mentioned problems. We believe that a few significant results have been achieved by this study, namely: the relation between a culture based on medieval beliefs and its consequences on the environment; how this culture exploits and deforms nature in pursuit of financial and psychological interests to a point of transforming the landscape into a copy of something devoid of any relation to latitude and altitude; and above all, the indifference concerning the alarming results carried by these modifications

Spatial choice is biased by chemical cues from conspecifics in the speckeled worm eel Myrophis punctatus

A enguia mirongo-mirim Myrophis punctatus vive em agrupamentos de alta densidade populacional e comumente se enterra ou permanece sob o substrato. Esses comportamentos podem levar a marcas químicas no subtrato e podem, portanto, modular o uso do espaço nessa espécie. Neste estudo, testamos a hipótese de que a preferência espacial da enguia mirongo-mirim é influenciada pela presença de odor do animal coespecífico no subtrato. Mostramos que as enguias evitam a área que contém tal odor, indicando que as decisões de ocupação espacial podem ser influenciadas por pistas químicas de coespecíficos. As enguias claramente detectaram o odor de um animal coespecífico e essa percepção poderia ser um indicativo da presença de um coespecífico enterrado no substrato. Visto que elas evitam uma área contendo tal odor, sugerimos que isso poderia ser uma resposta para evitar invadir o território de um animal residente.

O renascimento do parto e da (reinvenção da) emancipação social na blogosfera brasileira: contra o desperdício das experiências

The birth models of care are discussed, in the light of classical and contemporary social science theoretical background, emphasizing the humanistic model. The double spiral of the sociology of absences and the sociology of emergences is detailed, being based, on one hand, on the translation of experiences of knowledge, and, on the other, on the translation of experiences of information and communication, by revealing the movement articulated by Brazilian women on blogs that defend and bring into light initiatives aiming to recover natural and humanized birth. A cartography of the thematic ideas in birth literature is produced, resulting in the elaboration of a synthetic map on obstetric models of care in contemporaneity, pointing out the consequences of the obstetric model that has become hegemonic in contemporary societies, and comparing that model to others that work more efficaciously to mothers and babies. A symbolic cartography of the activism for humanizing birth on the Brazilian blogosphere is configured by the elaboration of an analytical map synthetizing the main mottos defended by the movement: Normal humanized birth; Against obstetrical violence; and Planned home birth. The superposition of the obstetric models of care s map and the rebirth of birth s analytical map indicates it is necessary to reinforce three main measures in order to make a paradigmatic turn in contemporary birth models of care possible: pave the way for the humanistic care of assistance in normal birth, by defending and highlighting practices and professionals that act in compliance with evidence based medicine, respecting the physiology of birth; denaturalize obstetric violence, by showing how routine procedures and interventions can be means of aggression, jeopardizing the autonomy, the protagonism and the respect towards women; and motivate initiatives of planned home birth, the best place for the occurrence of holistic experiences of birth. It is concluded that Internet tools have allowed a pioneer mobilization in respecting women s reproductive rights in Brazil and that the potential of the crowd s biopower that resides on the blogosphere can turn blogs into a hegemonic alternative way to reach more democratic forms of social organization. In that condition of being virtually hegemonic in contesting the established power, these blogs can be understood, therefore, as potentially great contra-hegemonic channels for the rebirth of birth and for the reinvention of social emancipation, as their author s articulate and organize themselves to strive against the waste of experience, trying to create reciprocal intelligibility amongst different experiences of world

Um estudante cego no curso de licenciatura em musica da ufrn: questões de acessibilidade curricular e física

This work aims to discuss and analyze the process of school inclusion of a blind person in the Bachelor's Degree in Music, at the School of Music at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, as well as reflect on the importance of establishing systems of support and to ensure university inclusive process of people with visual impairments. In pursuit to achieve these objectives, this research chose a qualitative methodological approach, the case study, using as procedures for data construction an interview, observation, analysis of documents and photographs. Joined the group of participants in this study, a blind student in the class of 2009.1of the EMUFRN Bachelor's Degree in Music, teachers from two disciplines complied by the student, two classmates, a monitor support in music theory, the course coordinator and school principal, and two other individuals who contributed to the inclusion process in actions not formalized institutionally. The results indicate UFRN proposed initiatives that contribute to inclusion of students with disabilities in this institution, the main one is the creation of the Standing Committee of Support for Students with Special Educational Needs (CAENE), a group that guides administrative sectors, teachers, principals, coordinators and students on the measures needed to enter and remain in quality education for all. Physical accessibility is still under construction at UFRN, and many access and sectors see it being adapted for students with physical or visual disabilities, and those with mobility impairments, have access to various parts of the university, however, as shown in this study, some points need to be reconsidered, as there are several places where the installation of tactile floor does not fully follow the guidelines proposed in the legislation. The proposals for access to the curriculum, mediated by EMUFRN, are actions that propose the inclusion of the blind student, as the existence of an educational monitor to help in the study of music theory, however, we need to rethink these proposals to not became actions of reactive intervention. Assuming a more proactive posture, the EMUFRN will be prepared to receive the diversity of students that expects. The study also points out that the blind student is part of a group of students that are practical musicians, who must work in events and evening shows, and who have little knowledge in music theory, leading, respectively, in low frequency classes and learning difficulties in certain curricular components, which may cause the closing of such components. In this case, the challenge of EMUFRN, considering the inclusive perspective, it is not specifically fit for the academic host a blind student, but to develop an accessibility project curriculum to consider effectively the diversity of all its students, taking into account mainly the economic and cultural conditions. This implies a process of resizing academic practices that be guided for collaborative and coordinated actions involving the various educational actors at EMUFRN and UFRN

Reflexão sobre agressividade, violência e bullying na escola: perspectivas de contribuição das práticas corporais cooperativas

The present dissertation tells a proposal of based pedagogical intervention in the use of practical corporal cooperatives during lessons of physical education in intention to create situations that allow to educating to reflect on the violence and its consequences in the social relations in the school. For in such a way, we leave from the following question of study: which perspectives of the physical education to contribute to minimize the aggressive and violent attitudes of the pupils in the school? Centered in the objective to reflect on the aggressiveness, the violence and bullying in the school, the light of a theoretical recital and in the perspectives of contribution of practical the corporal cooperatives for the reduction of its effect in the pertaining to school environment, in particular in the lessons of physical education, we search among others to involve the pupils in activities that stimulated the expression of human values as solidarity, respect and cooperation. In this intention, we opt to a ethnographic study for the possibility of next interaction between investigator and the investigated one. Our research is directly on to the social aspects that involve the problems of the society in a general way, in the attempt to diminish the decurrent problems of aggression situations, that they happen in one definitive municipal school of the city of Natal/RN, the sample being constituted of pupils of 6º year of Basic Education. It analyzes the practical situations lived deeply by the pupils had revealed efficient to minimize the aggressive attitudes in the pertaining to school space, as well as it opens perspectives so that the educators deal better with such attitudes, using to advantage them to educate the pupils in the direction to stimulate the good relations. We believe that with this research, to be able to of course share with other schools our experiences in the attempt of resolution of similar problems regarding thematic of the aggressiveness, respecting the specificity of each school in particular
