O registro de procedimentos metodológicos em projetos de intervenção arquitetônica no patrimônio edificado: o caso de Natal-RN

In the midst of growing preservationist awareness, regarding methods of architectural intervention of buildings with a recognized heritage value, there are numerous approaches on how the original heritage value can be protected. However, can these intervention projects be differentiated? Is it possible to identify how they differ (if in fact they do) from an architectural project not related to preservation? Although there are numerous theoretical studies regarding methods utilized in architectonical projects, there appear to be a lack of studies focused on an architectural intervention exclusively focused on areas or edifications that have a recognized heritage value, thereby requiring a reflection on which methodological procedures in an architectonical project serve the purpose of the preservation of the historical aspects. This discussion is of even greater importance because, at the national level, some recent discussions on this type of architectural design seem arbitrary and lack methodological rigor. Therefore, this research attempts to focus equally on the theoretical-methodological practices of preservation as well as the architectural project methods. In an attempt to address these aspects, the focus of this research centers on the case studies of the intervention projects of the maritime passenger terminal of Natal (Terminal Marítimo de Passageriros de Natal), the old government hall (Palacio do Governo - EDTAM) and the old central hotel (Hotel Central) which are situated in the area known as the historic downtown of the city of Natal, within the federal heritage protection polygon. The analyses of these is intended to identify what methodological procedures were recorded in the final product (in the graphical representation of the architectural design and other documents) delivered to IPHAN / RN, the body responsible for review and approval of these architectural projects, noting whether such procedures appear, in some way, in the final product, and if an understanding of the complexity of preservation is evident. The analyses of these projects corroborate the hypothesis that there are unique characteristics, which must be addressed in the intervention project for preservation when compared to new project design. The main characteristic to be addressed is related to the very nature of the project. It is inherent in the dialectical relationship between the need to preserve (the identified heritage values) and the need to modernize (making adaptations to contemporary life). This relationship, denominated in this dissertation as "radical restraint", must, or at least should, guide the actions in the project as well as the technical analyses of the preservationist organization. However, this radical restriction appears more evident in the guidelines put forth by legislators than in the decisions of designers. These legislators require the presentation of documents, aimed at identifying and contextualizing intervention (Ordinance No. 420 of December 22, 2010), that grant (or should grant) assistance in the decision making process. It was evident in the analyses of these documents that there existed a disconnect between the documents produced and the decisions made in the project. This fact can be seen in the total absence of dialogue about theoretical-methodological preservationist principles, which, in our view, is an essential element of the methodological procedures of the intervention project needed to guide the legislative and project design discussions.

Crianças e investigação: aspectos teórico-metodológicos e cuidados éticos nas produções dos grupos de pesquisa da UFRN

The concepts of childhood are part of a cultural construction and vary throughout history politically, economically and socially. Nouns such as "childhood" and "child" did not exist as sense of unity in periods prior to modernity, reinforcing their historical character as concepts that have been socially constructed as profess the Historical Social Psychology, theoretical perspective which will support this research. The sociology of childhood distinguishes the terms and changes the approach toward the adult researcher approach with respect to children, aiming to give voice to the child. When it comes to defining the role of children in research, the researcher must take into consideration several relevant criteria such as age, gender, time, listening to the adults close to the children, the level of language and education and which children that will be heard in a group. It is from this discussion, considering the importance of children's participation in the research that are established the purpose of this work, namely, to analyze the theoretical and methodological aspects and ethical guidelines considered in the research process with children, by researchers at the UFRN, presenting as specific objectives: analyze and discuss, from research reports, the adopted ethical procedures and methods used in research with children. Set the goal, it was made a search of the UFRN Research Groups in SIGAA in order to select those which investigate children for participating in our survey. Among the centers of UFRN, we selected the Health Sciences Centre - CCSA, the Humanities Center, Letters and Arts - CCHLA, the Biosciences Center - CB and the Health Sciences Center - CCS, a total of 64 finalized reports to be analyzed. And here it is the observation that the foolish reports were not analyzed for ethical reasons as the guiding of this dissertation is the coordinator of the research group mentioned. In this study, we chose the documentary analysis of the finalized reports from UFRN research projects teachers / researchers as procedure to set up the corpus of the research. Data analysis was performed from the qualitative analysis in the following categories were established: the concept of childhood, concept of child, age of the subjects, the research context, theoretical and methodological care adopted and ethical care. It is hoped that this study will contribute with reflections on the ethical and theoretical and methodological care on research with children. The research showed how some of the results: significant number of reports excluded by repetition, most reports did not bring any closing remarks, no different procedures for children, with rare exceptions, the ethical issue was not mentioned in 50% of reports.

Aspectos metodológicos do Projeto SBBrasil 2010 de interesse para inquéritos nacionais de saúde

The SBBrasil 2010 Project (SBB10) was designed as a nationwide oral health epidemiological survey within a health surveillance strategy. This article discusses methodological aspects of the SBB10 Project that can potentially help expand and develop knowledge in the health field. This was a nationwide survey with stratified multi-stage cluster sampling. The sample domains were 27 State capitals and 150 rural municipalities (counties) from the country's five major geographic regions. The sampling units were census tracts and households for the State capitals and municipalities, census tracts, and households for the rural areas. Thirty census tracts were selected in the State capitals and 30 municipalities in the countryside. The precision considered the demographic domains grouped by density of the overall population and the internal variability of oral health indices. The study evaluated dental caries, periodontal disease, malocclusion, fluorosis, tooth loss, and dental trauma in five age groups (5, 12, 15-19, 35-44, and 65-74 years).

Cidades saudáveis e qualidade de vida em Uberlândia (MG): aportes metodológicos para um processo em construção

The current study includes theoretical and methodological reflections on the quality of life in the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. It started from the thought that the quality of life is multifactorial and is permanently under construction and the main objective of analyzing it as one of the componets of Healthy Cities's moviment. The theoretical research focused on the concepts of healthy cities, quality of life, health, sustainability, well-being, happiness, indexes and indicators. From the use of multiple search strategies, documentary and on field of quantitative and qualitative character, this research of exploratory descriptive nature can offers a contribution to the studies on the quality of life in cities. It is proposed that the studies startes to work with some concept, like some notions os life quality adequated for some paticular reality, whose notions can approach concepts already established as health. This step is important on the exploratory researches. The studies may include aspects of objective analysis, subjective or both. The objective dimension, which is most common approach, are traditionally considered variables and indicators related to: the urban infrastructure (health, education, leisure, security, mobility), dwelling (quantitative and qualitative dwlling deficit), the urban structure (density and mix uses), socioeconomic characteristics (age, income, education), urban infrastructure (sanitation, communication), governance (social mobilization and participation). To focus on the subjective dimension, most recent and unusual, it is proposed to consider the (dis)satisfaction, the personal assessment in relation to the objective aspects. In conclusion, being intrinsically related to the health, the quality of life also has a number of determinants, and the ideal of the reach of quality of life depends on the action of all citizens based on the recognition of networks and territories, in a interescalar perspective and intersectoral. Therefore, emphasis in given on the potential of tools, such as the observatories, to monitor and intervent in reality, aiming in a building process of healthy cities.

Conduções cênicas: A “Açon” e o movimento através dos princípios e procedimentos metodológicos de Gilles Gwizdek

The research identifies and describes the principles and methodological procedures of the director Gilles Gaetan Gwizdek on the transposition of the dramatic text to the space of representation through action and movement. Besides that, it presents the results of the experiment in two different labor camps and conducting modes: the no-actor student, inserted into the basic education, and the actor-student, inserted in higher education. Through the scenic paths encountered by the director, the individuals were could find their own ways and verify, through the scenic conductions, how such methodological procedures can achieve a pedagogical thinking about the actor's work. As theoretical referential, were studied the artists-educators: Jacques Copeau, in what sensitizes to the use of dramatic text, and Jacques Lecoq, it approaches of the physical use of the actor's body to the theater. The concepts about theater of the scholars in theater: Constantin Stanislavski, Eugênio Barba, Meyerhold, Eugênio Kusnet, Bertold Brecht go through the theoretical revisions of the thinkers: Odete Aslan, Patrice Pavis, Ney Piacentini, Lúcia Romano, Flávio Desgranges e Anne Bogart, in what affects their practical experiences and conceptual about the text, the action and the movement. It was analyzed also the practical experience based on the principles and methodological procedures of Gilles director, in rehearsals and performances of students in the ninth grade of the primary school the Basic School of the Federal University of Uberlândia - ESEBA, as also, of the students of the sixth, seventh and eighth period, of the Theater Graduation in the same university. From this analysis, it was proposed an interrelation between the theoretical and practical works, done by reading of the artists-educators about movement and Gilles Gwizdek in his work process. The research suggests that, from the movement, the student can build autonomously a character through the experience of small movements of the body. Thus, this student would increase his relationship between stage and audience, and consequently, he would cause a possible state of "seduction" of the spectator to the spectacle.

Señales de seguridad: ¿influyen en la reducción del miedo durante procedimientos de extinción?

En la actualidad se dispone de intervenciones efectivas para el tratamiento de trastornos de ansiedad y problemas relacionados con miedos condicionados, en especial procedimientos de exposición (Norton & Price, 2007). No obstante, los mecanismos responsables de la reducción del miedo no son aún claros. Esto implica que existe información limitada respecto a las condiciones que favorecen o que interfieren con los procedimientos de exposición. Probablemente, lo anterior se debe a la distancia que existe entre la investigación básica y la investigación aplicada. Particularmente, la investigación básica puede informar cuáles son estas condiciones. En el momento en que un individuo se enfrenta a una situación que provoca temor, se observa una tendencia a presentar conductas de escape. Sin embargo, cuando no es posible escapar (por ejemplo, durante un ataque de pánico), es frecuente observar que los individuos recurren a conductas de seguridad. Un ejemplo de estas conductas es acudir a una “persona de seguridad”. Las conductas de seguridad facilitan la aparición de “señales de seguridad”, que a su vez reducen el miedo. La sola presencia de la “persona de seguridad” puede hacer que el miedo que experimenta el individuo se reduzca. También es posible que una afirmación como “no hay peligro, todo está bien” (proveniente de la “persona de seguridad”), sea suficiente para que el miedo disminuya. En el ejemplo, la conducta de seguridad consiste en llamar a la “persona de seguridad”, mientras que recibir la información sobre la ausencia de peligro, constituye la “señal de seguridad”. La diferencia entre estos dos conceptos, consiste en que las “conductas de seguridad” implican procesos instrumentales, es decir relaciones entre una conducta y una consecuencia. Por otro lado, las “señales de seguridad” involucran relaciones entre estímulos (estímulo condicionado y estímulo incondicionado) es decir, procesos pavlovianos...

Apuntes metodológicos sobre la conversación en el trabajo etnográfico

En este artículo subrayamos las similitudes entre los intercambios dialógicos que se producen a lo largo del trabajo de campo y los que se dan en situación de entrevista. Consideramos que, en ambos casos, el investigador tiene que aproximarse al registro característico de la conversación ordinaria y, en definitiva, a la complejidad de la experiencia de los sujetos. El acceso a este nivel no puede dejarse al azar de la intuición del antropólogo o a que emerja espontáneamente de las circunstancias. Requiere una reflexión sistemática previa que forma parte de la construcción del objeto de investigación y que, en este sentido, atraviesa y rompe las categorías en las que se divide con frecuencia el proceso del conocimiento etnográfico: fase exploratoria/obtención de datos, prácticas discursivas/no-discursivas, trabajo de campo/entrevista. Se propone una forma de articular contenidos y estrategias de conversación con vistas a aquellos fines. Igualmente, se consideran algunas de las dificultades inherentes a estas dinámicas de investigación.

Cuesta Arriba. Antecedentes epistemológicos y metodológicos para una Evaluación Ambiental Estratégica -EAE- en la ejecución de Políticas Planes y Programas ambientales en el Area del Gran Catamarca -AGC-

En esta comunicación se informa sobre estudios socio ambientales realizados desde las perspectivas epistemológica y metodológica, en el Area del Gran Catamarca. El propósito es contribuir a una Evaluación Estratégica Ambiental. Se examinan antecedentes y se identifica la percepción de la problemática ambiental en diferentes sectores de población.. Para la construcción del Marco teórico se analizaron información escrita (libros, revistas periódicos) y webgrafia e infografia, de origen local, nacional e internacional. El abordaje transversal de la investigación revela la complejidad epistemológica del objeto de estudio cuando se busca alcanzar una visión contemporánea, global y contextualizadora del problema. Complejidad que se evidencia en los resultados de los análisis, de contenidos, multicriterial y hermeneutico. Las indagaciones sobre percepción de la problemática ambiental recogieron testimonios orales, cuestionarios y encuestas cuyas características se describen en el trabajo. Integrantes y alumnos de la cátedra Introducción a la Investigación (Filosofía y Ciencias de la Educación), realizaron actividades de educación ambiental y prácticas solidarias desde 1999 a 2002, como forma de extensión, transferencia e inserción social de la Universidad. La metodología de investigación-acción participativa optimizó resultados. Otra fuente de datos fueron entrevistas radiales (2001-2003), durante la emisión del Programa del LIPA- Hombre y Ambiente, emitido por Radio Universidad. En la Conclusión estimamos que los antecedentes de EAE revelan que conviene aplicarla en nuestro medio y que la percepción de los problemas de mayor impacto o riesgo ambiental en pobladores del AGC evidencia conocimiento, pero falta mayor compromiso para asumir la propia responsabilidad. Enunciamos fortalezas, debilidades y recomendaciones es por tales antecedentes que las tareas de transferencia y aplicaciones hace "Cuesta Arriba" por lo dificultosa, ya que deben remontarse una serie de inconvenientes algunos de los cuales se han enunciado en la presente comunicación
