La mano izquierda de las empresas : Circulación de dones, alimentos y usos del dinero

El Banco Provincial de Alimentos ("banco") es una fundación que se encarga de recibir donaciones de distintas empresas alimenticias, para luego distribuirlas a un "precio simbólico", a un conjunto de instituciones denominadas "entidades receptoras" (hogares, comedores, organizaciones de base, escuelas públicas, etc.) ubicadas en el extenso territorio del Conurbano Bonaerense. A través de la reconstrucción de ciertos tramos de este circuito de alimentos, nos proponemos detectar las contiendas que se producen en torno a el status de las personas y los objetos que circulan en las transferencias, movilizando la forma don- mercancía. Contiendas existentes entre los distintos actores involucrados en el intercambio: el "banco" y las organizaciones sociales que se vinculan con él, entre las organizaciones sociales y entre las organizaciones sociales y los "beneficiarios". Es así que nos preguntamos: ¿Cuáles son las apreciaciones de los distintos actores involucrados en el intercambio? ¿Cuáles son las representaciones que limitan y definen la circulación de los alimentos? ¿Qué rol juega el uso del dinero en la denominación de las distintas transferencias?

Publicidade de alimentos funcionais uma análise retórico-discursiva

Produtos funcionais fazem parte do nosso cotidiano, cada vez mais caracterizado pela ênfase na saúde e qualidade de vida. A pesquisa proposta, com abordagem qualitativa, objetiva analisar a propaganda de produtos e alimentos funcionais que utilizam como elemento persuasivo expressões ou conceitos científicos, considerando o status e a credibilidade que a ciência tem em nossa sociedade. O corpus constitui-se de duas peças comerciais de produtos (margarina e iogurte) que utilizam esse expediente em sua comunicação. Busca-se analisar a bibliografia existente sobre alimentos funcionais, contemporaneidade, cultura, grupos sociais, publicidade, análise do discurso e retórica, porém, centra-se a análise na organização da mensagem, especialmente no que se refere à argumentação retórica e ao discurso, ensejando, uma visita crítica da persuasão disfarçada sobre a argumentação ligada à beleza e saúde. Espera-se com o trabalho entender o processo de construção retórica da argumentação, para a persuasão, em torno de alimentos funcionais, que utilizam em sua comunicação expressões científicas ligadas aos princípios de funcionalidade desses produtos, entre outras características desse discurso especializado.

O programa de aquisição de alimentos (PAA) e as transformações socioterritoriais no Rio Grande do Norte

The Acquisition Food Program (Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos – PAA) is one of the governmental public politics proposed, in the year of 2003, that has the focus in the family-run farm in Brazil. This Program has as objectives: commercialize the familyrun farm products, bought by the government agencies; to encourage production, and promoting actions that improve quality food of people facing starving risk. This Program has been working, to some extent, as complement to the Program of family-run farm Enhancement (PRONAF). The present study has as its focus to analyse the social territorials changes observed in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, as a result of the PAA implementation. In this sense, it was promoted a discussion between territory and rules. I this work, public politics are understood as rules. This procedure was important in order to understand how the rules have influenced territorial changes, creating new social and territorial relations. In the research process was used scientific and institutional texts on the subject. It was applied a quiz with 97 PAA’s supplying farmers, and interviews were done with the Program managers in Federal (MDA), State (CONAB and EMATER) and municipal (local office of EMATER and Departments of Agriculture) levels. Social public politics were also analyzed with the aim of understand the context where PAA is situated in relation with the public politics directed to familyrun farm as a whole since 1980, within new Brazilian democratization process. With the information collected in the field, plus the secondary data, maps, charts, tables and cartograms were made. With all of this, a socio-economical profile of the family-run farm in the Rio Grande do Norte was traced, as well as the included in this research. Before this picture, we concluded that PAA indeed represents a forward in public politics directed to family-run farm. However, in spite of the importance of the Program for the family-run farmers to come of age, but in order to the rural and family-run farm reality in the Rio Grande do Norte come to present meaningful changes much still remain to be done.

Atitudes e conhecimento dos consumidores sobre os alimentos irradiados: um inquérito conduzido em Natal, Brasil

The aim of this study is to assess the attitudes and knowledge of consumers about irradiated foods. The study sample corresponded to 65.52% women and the mean age was 41.82 (SD: 14.33) years. Only 66.9% of respondents consumers consult the list of ingredients on the label of packaged foods, and 13.4% of them said they had detected the phrase “FOOD TREATED BY IRRADIATION PROCESS.” Furthermore, 86.6% considered that irradiation becomes unsafe food and thus 94.9% of those not consume these foods, as well as 29.6% of those who felt otherwise. Women had a score of attitude towards irradiated foods less favorable than men. The television was considered the most efficient means of communication to report on irradiated foods. We conclude that consumers of the city of Natal lack information about food irradiation and acceptance of these products depends on how the policies are directed to food security and health education, including through the use of sources of mass information dissemination. The information on the labels of irradiated foods is controversial, although sufficient instruments for detection of irradiated foods by these consumers.

Análisis de la reglamentación europea, promulgada a raíz de los accidentes nucleares, y la determinación de la emisión gamma en alimentos importados

Novel scientific and technological progress require to seek new sources of electricity. Such response is, inter alia, nuclear energy. Nuclear power stations currently produce around a third of the electricity and 14% of the energy consumed in the European Union. A thorough aspect in the use and development of nuclear energy as power source is safety. Nuclear facilities are designed so that the probability of an accident that may affect people and environment was very low. Reasonably, preventive emergency plans take place in the own nuclear facilities in order to mitigate and minimize the consequences, and otherwise another emergency nuclear plans take place outside facilities. Monitoring programs are also conducted in the nearby nuclear facilities, according to the Recommendation reached on 8th June 2000 by the European Commission on the application of Article 36 of the Euratom Treaty for the checking of the levels of radioactivity in the environment, in order to assess the exposure to the whole population. The main objectives of these plans are to check the presence and evolution of radioactive elements and the radiation levels in the environment; to determinate the causes of its increase, if succeed; to estimate the radiological risk to the population; to set corrected measures, if necessary; to ensure legal compliance on the premises and; to verify the suitability of effluent monitoring program to detect radionuclides leaks and transfer to the environment...

Aspectos ecogenéticos y legislativos aplicados a la transgénesis de animales y alimentos

Bioethics ecology suggests the birth of a mentality which proposes, among other things: a human certain asceticism in relation to the environment around us, based on moderation; brutal renounce consumerism that is converted into primary need so most of the time is just superfluous. Social and economic developments affecting the existing globalization process in all areas of our existence. Ignorance conditions the quality of our relationship with the people and the environment. Parallel to this, the concept of social justice is not out of the problem of the environment. At present the environmental field has been filled by qualified professionals, resulting in a coprofesionalism, and an openness to the metadiscipline or shares from trades, knowledge and non-formal learning, which should make a concerted effort to be familiar with the delicate aimed at balancing the instability that is the Middle multidisciplinary environment and seem to be witnessing a passive object of global change. It is known as transgenesis process of transferring genes into an organism. Transgenesis is currently used to make transgenic plants and animals. Several methods of transgenesis as using gene guns or the use of virus or bacteria as vectors to transfer genes.

Del bodegón a la basura. Representaciones de alimentos en la historia del arte desde la perspectiva de la fotografía contemporánea

El artículo habla de la representación de alimentos en la Historia del Arte; estudia porqué las representaciones de comida tradicionalmente han sido consideradas como un género menor y plantea la hipótesis de su revitalización en el mercado del arte contemporáneo a través de la fotografía. Mediante el análisis de imágenes de comida en diferentes épocas, el texto explica que los bodegones casi siempre han sido símbolos de la superabundancia, presentando fundamentalmente alimentos, y en algunas ocasiones desperdicios. Continúa con la idea de que las sobras en las antigüedad eran orgánicas y sin embargo, en la actualidad los still life se han convertido en representaciones de basura, de desechos, y desperdicios en todas sus acepciones. El texto demuestra, mediante el análisis de algunas obras contemporáneas fotográficas, que el tema de la comida hoy es mucho más relevante de lo que la crítica de arte argumentaba en el pasado. Las imágenes de objetos conforman un sistema de representación y significado en continua evolución que es el reflejo de nuestra cultura. Estas fotografías nos hablan de sociología, política y economía mostrándonos en la actualidad el impacto que está sufriendo el medioambiente debido a nuestras rutinas cotidianas.

Programa de aquisição de alimentos (2003-2010): avaliação da implementação pela CONAB no Rio Grande do Norte

This thesis aimed to evaluate the implementation of the Food Acquisition Program(PAA) through CONAB RN in the period of 2003-2010 with the perception of all agents involved in the implementation of the government program.For the methodological trajectory it was adopted a descriptive bibliographical and documentary approach with triangular qualitative and quantitative, also called evaluative research.The theoretical model was supported by the authors Draibe (2001), Aguilar and Ander-Egg (1994) and Silva(2001), among others, that focused on family farming and evaluation of implementation of public policy having as a category of analysis the size implementation of policy and the latter divided into 10 theoretical dimensions.The universe consisted of three groups: the first were the managers and technicians from CONAB(RN and Brasilia), totaling 15 subjects. The second group was of associations/cooperatives that participated in the programin 2010, totaling a sample in each access of 15 representatives. The third group of subjects totaled with 309 representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations that received donations of food for the same period. Semi-structured interviews and forms were adopted as instruments of data collection.The data were processed qualitatively by the analysis of content (interviews and documents) and quantitatively by means of statistical tests that allowed inferences and adoption of frequencies. Among the key find ingests that the program is not standing as a structure supported by planning. The interests of the performers do not necessarily converge with the objectives of the Food Acquisition Program (PAA). A shockof goals was identified (within the same program) when comparingthe financial agent (Ministry of Rural Development and of Social Development and Fight Against Hunger Ministry r) and the executor, CONAB/RN. Within the assessed dimensions, the most fragileis the sub-managerial decision-making and Organizational Environment and internal assessment, still deserves attention the sizeof logistical and operational Subsystem, as this also proved weak.The focusin the quest toexpand thequantificationof the resultsof theFood Acquisition Program (PAA)by CONAB/RN does forget a quality management focused on what really should be:the compliance with the institutional objectives of the government program.Finally, the perspective for the traded implementation should be re-examined because excessive discretion by managers along with technical staff has characterized there al role of the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) as public policy. We conclude that the implementation model, which apparently aggregates values to the benefitted citizens, has weakened the context of work on family farms having the management model of the implementation process be reviewed by the Federal Government and point too ther paths, which have as a guide line the emancipation and developmentof the field or in the field andat the same time enables the reduction of nutritional deficiency of beneficiaries in a balanced and coherent way
