Nem terno nem gravata: as mudanças na identidade pentecostal assembleiana

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo fazer um estudo das contradições de uma identidade pentecostal em processo, buscando na sua origem uma identidade que lhe era própria, através de uma análise interpretativa de sua literatura, e de uma nova linguagem, que mudou nos últimos vinte anos. Durante oito décadas a Assembléia de Deus vinha mantendo firme sua identidade, que fez parte do cotidiano das pessoas, e de uma cultura religiosa brasileira que se acostumou a vê-las como fora do mundo, separadas. A chegada das igrejas neopentecostais provocou mudanças no ethos assembleiano. Atualmente é possível perceber uma mistura de práticas e crenças, que aqui perceberemos através das categorias, identidade e sincretismo. É cada vez mais presente uma linguagem triunfalista ligada a Confissão Positiva.

A reeleição de vereadores evangélicos em Belém de 1992 a 2008: conexão, regra do jogo e comunicação com as bases

Em 2004 foram eleitos os vereadores que compunham a Câmara Municipal de Belém, tendo sido ocupadas às vagas deixadas por aqueles que não se reelegeram. Esse quadro da reeleição possibilitou a afirmação e fortalecimento de partidos políticos que, por vários mandatos, permanecem com representação política e assento no Parlamento Municipal. É o caso do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), do Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (PMDB), do Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (PSDB), do Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro (PTB) entre outros.Esse grupo político tem estado representado no Parlamento municipal por um longo período ininterrupto. O campeão de renovação de mandato é o Vereador Pastor Paulo Queiroz da IEQ (Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular) que está no seu quarto mandato. Em seguida, vem o Vereador Pastor Raul Batista da IURD (Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus) que está no seu terceiro mandato e o Vereador Iran Moraes da AD (Assembleia de Deus) que está no seu terceiro mandato. O ponto de partida da pesquisa, parte dos pressupostos sugeridos por Pereira e Rennó (2001) e sustentado por Downs (1958) de que, o objetivo central de um político é a busca de reeleição.Anthony Downs considera que o individuo dentro da sua racionalidade, tem a capacidade de interpretar as suas escolhas dentro de uma lógica de alternativas possíveis. Ele não se deixa ser seduzido pelos movimentos dos candidatos, mas, faz a sua escolha dentro das alternativas que se apresenta, mas mantém as escolhas racionais. Percebe-se que ao longo dos anos, os parlamentares evangélicos têm demonstrado maior força em algumas denominações em se manter no parlamento para vários mandatos. É o caso dos parlamentares da Igreja do Evangelho Quadrangular, Adventista do Sétimo Dia, Universal do reino de Deus, Assembleia de Deus. O processo de renovação contínua de mandato é baseado no apoio das lideranças e nos serviços prestados aos seguimentos internos das Igrejas.

Programa de Educação de Jovens e Adultos Conquista a Cidadania Negada: a experiência de Bauru (SP)

A Educação de Jovens e Adultos na Unesp de Bauru, teve início em 1999, com um projeto de extensão para atender funcionários do Campus e comunidade. Dois anos depois, a PROEX organizou um Programa de Educação de Jovens e Adultos com duas dimensões: atender aos funcionários da universidade e à comunidade. Seus objetivos são: reconstruir a identidade pessoal, social e a cidadania por meio da escolaridade; possibilitar aos alunos do Curso de Pedagogia e de outras licenciaturas experiência de organizar e desenvolver projetos de alfabetização de jovens e adultos; articular atividades de capacitação, pesquisa e discussão de políticas públicas junto ao Centro de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (CEJA) da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Bauru. Desde 2002 adotou-se a metodologia de parcerias com instituições, associações e igrejas que atendiam às comunidades periféricas, incluindo levantamento da demanda e espaços comunitários para serem usados como salas de aula. O desenvolvimento do processo educacional tem sido trabalhado por alunos universitários bolsistas e voluntários sob orientação de professores do Departamento de Educação da Faculdade de Ciências Unesp/Bauru. A universidade promove também cursos de formação para todos os campi envolvidos no PEJA. Os resultados obtidos em Bauru apontam para a realização dos objetivos propostos, para a constituição da identidade social dos participantes e sua inserção na sociedade enquanto cidadãos e para a formação dos alunos universitários e seu papel como educadores.

Estudo da acessibilidade aplicado a rodoviária de Aparecida-SP

The aim of this study was to develop a case study of road Aparecida, where it noticed a large movement of people with disabilities who use the road, bound for the city's churches. Another objective was to compare the minimum dimensions established by law, with the dimensions of the spaces (slope of ramps, wide sidewalks, etc.) on the road of Aparecida. Starting from this fact, a study was done on the architectural barriers faced by people with special needs and disabled. It was also made a field survey in order to know the opinion of the users about the accessibility of pregnant elderly and disabled in the road. Technical visits were also made in order to detect sites with access problems with special needs. Also were proposed guidelines for renovation of the building where the road works

Influência da composição corporal e da síndrome metabólica sobre a relação da aptidão cardiorrespiratória com o estresse inflamatório

Physical activity is associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk factors, being cardiorespiratory fitness a major component of physical activity health related. Body fatness and sarcopenia are related to sedentary lifestyle leading to proinflammatory stress and lower cadiorespiratory capacity. This study aimed correlates C-reactive protein with cardiorespiratory fitness, analyzing the influences of anthropometrics variables and metabolic syndrome (MS) presence. the cross-sectional retrospective study included baseline data of 194 adults (62 male and 132 female), 53,74 ± 8,77 years, clinically and ethically selected for a lifestyle modification program. Total cholesterol (TC) and cholesterol lipoprotein fractions, triglycerides (TG) and glucose was dosed by dry chemistry (Vitros® system, Johnson & Johnson). Blood leukocytes was quantified by automatic cell counter (Coulter ABX®, Horiba). LDL-cholesterol was obtained by Friedwald formula. Serum ultrasensitive C-reactive protein (US-CRP) was accessed by the immunochemoluminescence method (Immulite 2000®, DPC Medlab). Weight, height, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were measured. Muscular mass and fat mass were obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis (impedancemeter Quantum BIA-101Q®, Clinton Township). Arterial blood pressure was checked by auscultatory method and cardiorespiratory fitness was determined by ergoespirometric test (Balke protocol). The metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according NCEP – ATP III (2001), following recommendations of American Diabetes Association (2004). Pearson’s correlation crude and adjusted for confounders variables with p<0,05. The prevalence of MS was 30.4%. Crude correlation shows hsCRP was correlated inverse and significantly with VO2max (r= -0.21; p=-0.003) ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Caracterização morfológica e fenotípica de leveduras do gênero Cryptococcus com ênfase na pesquisa de Cryptococcus neoormans isoladas de amostras de água de mar e areia de três ambientes costeiros do estado de São Paulo: Canal de São Sebastião, Baixada Santista e Ubatuba

The yeast Cryptococcus neoformans is the etiologic agent of cryptococcosis, an infectious cosmopolitan disease that affects humans. Although rare, this disease is potentially fatal, especially for immunocompromised hosts. This pathogen is frequently isolated from excrements of pigeons and parrots, with many environmental sources such as birds, pigeon droppings, eucalyptus leaves, decaying trees, towers, churches and places of storage of grain (the port area). The isolation of this microorganism has been obtained also from the aquatic environment. The identification of environmental sources is needed to protect human health, especially susceptible populations such as immunocompromised. Therefore, this study investigated the presence of Cryptococcus neoformans in yeast isolates obtained from samples of sea water and sand from three regions of São Paulo: São Sebastião Channel, Santos and Ubatuba. Isolates were analyzed according to micro-and macroscopic characteristics and biochemical tests: microculture, urease, ink nankin, auxanograma, zymogram and phenol. We analyzed 199 isolates, 175 of which had features suggestive for Cryptococcus spp. in microculture. All these 175 isolates were sown in the Christensen urea middle to verify the production of urease and submitted to the technique nankin ink to visualize the capsule. Of these, only 24 were selected for the next test that was the auxanograma (assimilation of carbohydrate and nitrogen). Of the 24, 10 were tested in zymograms (fermented sugar), from which 5 were selected for the phenoloxidase test in medium containing dopamine. None of the 5 isolates tested had black or brown color characteristic of Cryptococcus neoformans. According to these tests, we arrived at 5 isolates identified to the genus Cryptococcus, but not the neoformans specie
