Política de formação profissional do SENAI e a qualidade de vida no trabalho: o olhar dos egressos

Este estudo apresenta uma pesquisa em que se discute a política de formação profissional do SENAI-PA, a partir dos depoimentos de egressos de cursos na área de aprendizagem industrial, da instituição, cujo direcionamento teórico baseia-se na Qualidade de Vida do Trabalho. Teoricamente, consideramos a influência da Teoria do Capital Humano e os indicadores de QVT, destacadamente o econômico, o político, o psicológico e o sociológico na formação de aprendizes industriais. A questão central foi responder como a formação profissional obtida pelos egressos do SENAI refletiu na sua qualidade de vida no trabalho. Entre os objetivos de ordem geral e específicos, destacam-se, desenvolver um estudo sobre a situação dos egressos dos cursos do SENAI do Centro de Formação Profissional Getúlio Vargas em Belém-PA, no período de 2000 a 2003; identificar os egressos do Curso de Aprendizagem Industrial; verificar a inserção no campo profissional desses egressos; analisar as expectativas profissionais e sócio-econômicas dos egressos com base nos indicadores de QVT e contribuir para o aprofundamento dos processos de avaliação institucional do Centro de Formação Profissional, no intuito de sintonizar a atuação estratégica do SENAI com os anseios e necessidades da comunidade. Os depoimentos objetos de nosso estudo foram obtidos em entrevistas com ex-alunos, nos quais as falas revelam a importância dada por eles ao profissionalismo, à obtenção de renda a partir dessa profissão e dos necessários aperfeiçoamentos profissionais, em face à acirrada disputa no mercado de força de trabalho, na conjuntura sócio-econômica globalizada contemporânea. Para além disso, este trabalho possibilita também uma reflexão histórica sobre a evolução do SENAI, destacado integrante do Sistema S e percussor de políticas de educação profissional no Brasil, oriundas da fase inicial tardia da industrialização brasileira. Na análise, procuramos ainda revelar aspectos fundamentais que devem ser perseguidos pelas políticas públicas - em especial as relativas à educação profissional com todos os entes executores dessa política, quer públicos ou privados -, em termos de adequação de suas diretrizes em prol de uma formação profissional para as pessoas mais necessitadas que atenda as necessidade de um padrão de Qualidade de Vida, equivalente aos parâmetros mundiais.

A reforma do Estado nos anos 90 e suas implicações para as políticas públicas educacionais na região amazônica

O artigo discute como está sendo desencadeado o processo de reforma do Estado no Brasil, detendo-se nas implicações que esse reordenamento tem trazido para as políticas públicas educacionais que começaram a ser implementadas na região amazônica pelo gestor público paraense a partir dos anos 90. Orientado pela hipótese de que as políticas educacionais colocadas em prática na região amazônica pelo governo do Estado do Pará fundamentam-se nos princípios da administração pública gerencial, o estudo considera a relação dessa escolha com o processo mais amplo das mudanças ocorridas no modelo produtivo capitalista na atualidade.

Agricultura no delta do rio Amazonas: colonos produtores de alimentos em Macapá no período colonial

Nos séculos XVII e XVIII, ocorre a expansão mundial das espécies de arroz cultivável mais conhecidas na atualidade. Nesse período, Portugal ensaiou transformar o delta do rio Amazonas em um celeiro agrícola , introduzindo o projeto de rizicultura no Estado do Grão Pará. A colonização de Macapá e Mazagão começou com base nessa produção. Este artigo trata das questões relativas à mão-de-obra exigida pelo projeto e às técnicas de manufatura e de comercialização do produto empregadas pela Companhia Geral do Comércio do Grão Pará e Maranhão.

A Educação Rumo à Parceria Público Privada

O processo do neoliberalismo revela, no seu momento mais intenso, a submissão de todos os níveis da vida humana a transações mercantis, a inclinação capitalista à mercantilização mundial. Desse modo, as propostas neoliberais objetivam, sobretudo, a criação de um sentimento único para garantir o sucesso de seus ideais de globalização, de livre-economia e de Estado mínimo, não interventor nas políticas sociais, mas servidor do mercado. Dentre os artifícios utilizados pelos propositores neoliberais encontram-se as Parcerias Público-Privadas (PPPs) com as quais este artigo se ocupa. A partir da conceituação e da caracterização do instrumento Parcerias Público-Privadas (PPPs), foram analisados projetos nacionais e europeus desenvolvidos através das PPPs.Os temas desses projetos envolvem Tecnologia de Informática e Comunicação e eLearning (ensino + tecnologia + a distância). As reflexões evidenciaram que as parcerias entre governos e empresas multinacionais podem levar a uma perda de controle por parte do Estado sobre a formação educacional dos cidadãos e da perda de identidade de seus currículos. Por outro lado, essas parcerias trazem ganhos políticos aos Estados e econômicos às empresas.

The recent advancements in the medical assessment of surgical risk based on the individual analysis of each case with availability of new therapeutic tools in reference to medical or dental treatment, allowing for new procedures that can be used in the execution of safer odontological surgery for each patients. This review of the literature shows the actual tendencies of the treatment of patients with Myocardial Infarction concerning specific care before, during and after surgery based on laboratory evaluation and drug therapy as well as the possibility of surgical treatment before six months post-infarction.

Jornalismo e sociedade: a (in) visibilidade do idoso na imprensa brasileira

This article intends to inventory the medias that also cover Third Age in Brazil, in view of that all the demographic pointers reveal the accented process of aging of the world-wide population, and therefore of our country. A time that the journalists cannot ignore the changes that occur in the interior of the society, in which it is the main area of performance of the journalism, we want to understand why the Brazilian media still dedicates so little space to this phenomenon of the elderly, in contrast of what occurs in other countries. We ask ourselves, then, if the change in the way of looking at the elderly one would not have to be born inside of the University, through the young who prepare for the exercise of the profession, with citizenship and social concern. In the Course of Journalism of the UNESP/Bauru a group of future journalists is searching this subject, for this they sign this article.

Trends, drivers and impacts of changes in swidden cultivation in tropical forest-agriculture frontiers: A global assessment

This meta-analysis of land-cover transformations of the past 10-15 years in tropical forest-agriculture frontiers world-wide shows that swidden agriculture decreases in landscapes with access to local, national and international markets that encourage cattle production and cash cropping, including biofuels. Conservation policies and practices also accelerate changes in swidden by restricting forest clearing and encouraging commercial agriculture. However, swidden remains important in many frontier areas where farmers have unequal or insecure access to investment and market opportunities, or where multi-functionality of land uses has been preserved as a strategy to adapt to current ecological, economic and political circumstances. In some areas swidden remains important simply because intensification is not a viable choice, for example when population densities and/or food market demands are low. The transformation of swidden landscapes into more intensive land uses has generally increased household incomes, but has also led to negative effects on the social and human capital of local communities to varying degrees. From an environmental perspective, the transition from swidden to other land uses often contributes to permanent deforestation, loss of biodiversity, increased weed pressure, declines in soil fertility, and accelerated soil erosion. Our prognosis is that, despite the global trend towards land use intensification, in many areas swidden will remain part of rural landscapes as the safety component of diversified systems, particularly in response to risks and uncertainties associated with more intensive land use systems.

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction characterization of healthy and fluorotic human dental enamel

With the introduction of fluoride as the main anticaries agent used in preventive dentistry, and perhaps an increase in fluoride in our food chain, dental fluorosis has become an increasing world-wide problem. Visible signs of fluorosis begin to become obvious on the enamel surface as opacities, implying some porosity in the tissue. The mechanisms that conduct the formation of fluorotic enamel are unknown, but should involve modifications in the basic physical-chemistry reactions of demineralization and remineralisation of the enamel of the teeth, which is the same reaction of formation of the enamel's hydroxyapatite (HAp) in the maturation phase. The increase of the amount of fluoride inside of the apatite will result in gradual increase of the lattice parameters. The aim of this work is to characterize the healthy and fluorotic enamel in human tooth using Synchrotron X-ray diffraction. All the scattering profile measurements were carried out at the X-ray diffraction beamline (XRD1) at the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory-LNLS, Campinas, Brazil. X-ray diffraction experiments were performed both in powder samples and polished surfaces. The powder samples were analyzed to obtain the characterization of a typical healthy enamel pattern. The polished surfaces were analyzed in specific areas that have been identified as fluorotic ones. X-ray diffraction data were obtained for all samples and these data were compared with the control samples and also with the literature data. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

MUC1 gene polymorphism in three Nelore lines selected for growth and its association with growth and carcass traits

The objective of this study was to describe the VNTR polymorphism of the mucin 1 gene (MUC1) in three Nelore lines selected for yearling weight to determine whether allele and genotype frequencies of this polymorphism were affected by selection for growth. In addition, the effects of the polymorphism on growth and carcass traits were evaluated. Birth, weaning and yearling weights, rump height, Longissimus muscle area, backfat thickness, and rump fat thickness, were analyzed. A total of 295 Nelore heifers from the Beef Cattle Research Center, Instituto de Zootecnia de Sertozinho, were used, including 41 of the control line, 102 of the selection line and 152 of the traditional. The selection and traditional lines comprise animals selected for higher yearling weight, whereas control line animals are selected for yearling weight close to the average. Five alleles were identified, with allele 1 being the most frequent in the three lines, especially in the lines selected for higher means for yearling weight. Heterozygosity was significantly higher in the control line. Association analyses showed significant effects of allele 1 on birth weight and weaning weight while the allele 3 exert significant effects on yearling weight and back fat thickness. Despite these findings, application of this marker to marker-assisted selection requires more consistent results based on the genotyping of a larger number of animals in order to increase the accuracy of the statistical analyses.

Patient with toxoplasmosis and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: a case report

Abstract Introduction Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic protozoal disease caused by toxoplasma gondii, is prevalent throughout the world, affecting a large proportion of persons who usually have no symptoms. Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, an X-linked inherited disorder, is present in over 400 million people world wide. It is more common in tropical and subtropical countries and is one of the important causes of hemolytic anemia. Case presentation This case report relates the occurrence of the two diseases simultaneously in a child of five years old. Conclusion Patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are more susceptible to toxoplasmosis and this case report, reinforce the findings of this propensity and alert us for such possibility, what it is important, therefore, the treatment of toxoplasmosis can cause serious hemolysis in these patients.

An ontology-based approach to define and manage B2B interoperability

Electronic business surely represents the new development perspective for world-wide trade. Together with the idea of ebusiness, and the exigency to exchange business messages between trading partners, the concept of business-to-business (B2B) integration arouse. B2B integration is becoming necessary to allow partners to communicate and exchange business documents, like catalogues, purchase orders, reports and invoices, overcoming architectural, applicative, and semantic differences, according to the business processes implemented by each enterprise. Business relationships can be very heterogeneous, and consequently there are variousways to integrate enterprises with each other. Moreover nowadays not only large enterprises, but also the small- and medium- enterprises are moving towards ebusiness: more than two-thirds of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) use the Internet as a business tool. One of the business areas which is actively facing the interoperability problem is that related with the supply chain management. In order to really allow the SMEs to improve their business and to fully exploit ICT technologies in their business transactions, there are three main players that must be considered and joined: the new emerging ICT technologies, the scenario and the requirements of the enterprises and the world of standards and standardisation bodies. This thesis presents the definition and the development of an interoperability framework (and the bounded standardisation intiatives) to provide the Textile/Clothing sectorwith a shared set of business documents and protocols for electronic transactions. Considering also some limitations, the thesis proposes a ontology-based approach to improve the functionalities of the developed framework and, exploiting the technologies of the semantic web, to improve the standardisation life-cycle, intended as the development, dissemination and adoption of B2B protocols for specific business domain. The use of ontologies allows the semantic modellisation of knowledge domains, upon which it is possible to develop a set of components for a better management of B2B protocols, and to ease their comprehension and adoption for the target users.
