Racionalidade substantiva no processo decisório: um estudo em instituições que lidam com o tratamento oncológico infantojuvenil na cidade de Natal-RN

The present study regards an applied social research (qualitative) performed in two institutions which lead children s cancer treatment in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. The main goal of this study is, as of a literature review at works which characterizes the first generations of study about substantive rationality, to detect Decision Making process related aspects that may serve as a basis to elaborate analysis categories from decision making process, aggregating them into a new study that may provide an advance to the theme in administrative science. The academic works based on the analysis model created by Mauricio Serva served as a basis to deep research into such theme, which verifies the predominant rationality in eleven administrative internal processes in productive organizations. This dissertation intends to go beyond the identification of the predominant rationality by elaborating new categories of analysis, and making possible the continuity of the subject in administrative science. Based on Guerreiro Ramos s work, which sees a kind of ideal organization, as known as isonomies, this study still calls upon Karl Polanyi s thoughts, which with the objective of comprehending the independent economic phenomenon of the value that allows considering non-market economies, find that the economy of the men is submerged in his social relations; it also rescues the studies from Max Weber who investigates the meaning of social action to better understand the rationality, and refers to the study of Jürgen Habermas, who proposes a broader conception about rationality, within the theory of communicative action. As a result of this theme s review, seven analysis categories of the decision making process have been formulated. They were applied in the institutions that had been chosen and helped to detect the type of predominant rationality in the categories of the decision making process. The results confirm that, although the decisions making process involves rational elements, such as information, identification of alternatives, there are also specific values of each individual with his experience and view oh the world, permeated not only by instrumental rationality, but also by substantive rationality. The study has verified that two similar institutions may show different types of rationality in the decision making process, when decision factors may tend to instrumental rationality, according to administration classic way, as well as they may emerge from substantive rationality, thus contributing to the process of emancipation of the human being in his sphere of work

Estudo comparativo de carragenanas comerciais Kappa, Iota e Lambda no processo inflamatório em ratos :edema intraplantar e pleurisia

The Iota, Kappa and Lambda commercial carrageenans are rarely pure and normally contain varying amounts of the other types of carrageenans. The exact amount of impurity depends on the seaweed source and extraction procedure. Then, different analysis methods have been applied for determination of the main constituents of carrageenans because these three carrageenans are extensively used in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry. The electrophoresis of these compounds proved that the carrageenans are constituted by sulfated polysaccharides. These compounds were characterized by colorimetric methods and was observed that the Lambda carrageenan shown the greater value (33.38%) of sulfate. These polymers were examined by means of 13C NMR spectroscopy and infrared spectra. The polysaccharides consisted mainly of units alternating of sulfated galactoses and anhydrogalactoses. The aim of the study was also to test the inflammatory action of these different polysaccharides. A suitable model of inflammation is acute sterile inflammation of the rat hind limb induced by carrageenan. Paw edema was induced by injecting carrageenans (κ, ι and λ) in saline into the hind paw of a male Wistar rats (175–200 g). The pathway to acute inflammation by carrageenan (kappa, iota and lambda) were expressed as time-edema dependence and measured by paw edema volume. For this purpose, was used an apparatus (pakymeter), which makes it possible to measure the inflammation (swelling of the rat foot) with sufficient accuracy. The results showed that κ-carrageenan (1%) have an edema of 3.7 mm and the paw edema increase was time and dose dependent; the ι-carrageenan (0.2%) caused an edema of 4 mm and the λ-carrageenan (1%) caused an edema of 3.6 mm. Other model was used in this study based in the inflammation of pleura for comparatives studies. Injection of carrageenans into the pleural cavity of rat induced an acute inflammatory response characterized by fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity, a large number of neutrophils and raised NO production. The levels of NO were measured by Griess reactive. The ι-carrageenan caused the greater inflammation, because it has high concentration of nitrite/nitrate (63.478 nmoles/rat), exudato volume (1.52 ml) and PMNs (4902 x 103 cells). Quantitative evaluation of inflammations of rats is a useful and important parameter for the evaluation of the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs

História da missão dos padres capuchinhos na ilha do Maranhão e suas circumvisinhaças

O autor passou quatro meses no Maranhão e em 1614 editou a obra em francês. A presente tradução brasileira, ainda que seja a primeira, é considerada imperfeita, na visão de Rubens Borba de Moraes. O texto, porém, é considerado um clássico da etnografia brasileira e uma importante contribuição acerca do domínio francês no Maranhão.

Processo biotecnológico voltado a produção de estoques poliploides do camarão-branco litopenaeus vannamei (decapoda, penaeidae)

without practical results so far. Protocols used in biotechnological cultured aquatic organisms aimed at increasing growth rates and disease resistance, have been studied and perfected. Among the available techniques, the application of chromosomal manipulation, although still nascent, is presented as a tool aimed at mitigating ecological and economical issues in shrimp farming. The polyploidization artificial method already employed in fish and shellfish, has been widely researched for use in farmed shrimp. Some limitations of this method of expansion in shrimp refer to a better knowledge of cytogenetic aspects, the level of sexual dimorphism and performance in growing conditions. To contribute on some of these issues, the present study aimed to characterize cytogenetic species Litopenaeus vannamei (Decapoda) and Artemia franciscana (Anostraca), analyze the effectiveness of methods for detection of ploidy, through the use of flow cytometry in processes of induction polyploidy cold thermal shock at different stages of development of newly fertilized eggs. Additionally, aimed also the qualitative and quantitative comparison of larval development between diploid and polyploid organisms, besides the identification of sexual dimorphism in L. vannamei, through geometric morphometrics. The results provide information relevant to the improvement and widespread use of biotechnological methods applied toward national productivity in shrimp farming

Dieta mediterrância: um desafio para a cooperação entre a cultura e a saúde nos próximos anos

A “Dieta Mediterrânica” levada à letra é um modo de viver, próprio das pessoas que vivem perto do mar, no meio das terras. Do grego - “modo de viver” e do latim - mar medi terraneum – “o mar no meio das terras”. Para compreender a Dieta Mediterrânica (DM), é pois necessário refletir sobre o facto de durante séculos, Fenícios, Gregos, Romanos, Árabes e todos os outros povos desta região, terem tido um mar interior navegável, capaz de permitir a partilha de saberes, utensílios, genes, plantas e animais. Que infuenciaram decisivamente o nosso modo de pensar e maneira de viver.

Orson Welles y el cine de Hollywood en la década de 1940

Tratando-se de uma publicação espanhola, o título e o resumo são apresentados em espanhol mas o artigo está em português.

O western entre a história e o mito: a arte do oeste americano no western de Hollywood

Surgida no início do séc. XIX, a arte sobre o Oeste americano, constitui parte de um folclore que transformou o cowboy no mais influente símbolo da América nos séculos XIX e XX. A influência de artistas como Frederic Remington e Charles Russell, na cultura popular dos EUA, é particularmente visível no western clássico de Hollywood. Ao assimilar os valores formais e ideológicos que caracterizam a obra destes artistas, cineastas como John Ford, Raoul Walsh e John Sturges, realizaram uma verdadeira simbiose entre o cinema e o primeiro movimento artístico americano. No entanto, o western de Hollywood nunca foi um mero exercício estético, constituindo uma expressão das profundas transformações que a sociedade americana sofreu ao longo do século XX.

"As mulheres que fizeram Roma", de Carla Hilário Quevedo

Não é frequente serem editados livros de divulgação cultural, escritos originalmente em português, sobre a antiguidade clássica. Só isso já seria razão para me congratular com a recentíssima publicação deste As mulheres que fizeram Roma, da autoria de Carla Hilário Quevedo. Nestes dias em que saiu a notícia que os estabelecimentos de ensino podem ter, no Básico, como Oferta de Escola, disciplinas na área da Introdução à Cultura e Línguas Clássicas, a publicação deste livro só vem reforçar a importância desta componente na educação (relembro que o Latim e o Grego nunca saíram do Ensino Secundário, apesar de parecer que sim. Por exemplo, em Portimão, na Escola Secundária Manuel Teixeira Gomes, tem havido Grego no 12º ano, com muito sucesso). Mas a minha satisfação é maior, porque o livro é mesmo de leitura muito agradável. Não se deixem assustar com o subtítulo, 14 Histórias de poder e violência, pois também há histórias de amor, dedicação e honra. É verdade que tudo gira à volta do poder, mas a história tem destas coisas: não fala dos fracos. Carla Hilário Quevedo é cronista no jornal i e no semanário Sol, mas conheci a sua escrita no tempo em que publicava no Expresso, tendo depois passado a segui-la no blogue Bomba Inteligente. Já nessa época, Carla Quevedo manifestava o seu interesse pela antiguidade: conhecedora do grego moderno e licenciada em Línguas e Literaturas Modernas (Inglês/Alemão), fez mestrado em Estudos Clássicos, tendo aprendido grego antigo e latim. Pareceu-me importante esta contextualização para melhor enquadrar este livro, pois é sempre bom sabermos quem são os autores que lemos, principalmente quando não se trata de ficção.

Modelagem analítica e experimental da filtração em meios porosos

Deep bed filtration occurs in several industrial and environmental processes like water filtration and soil contamination. In petroleum industry, deep bed filtration occurs near to injection wells during water injection, causing injectivity reduction. It also takes place during well drilling, sand production control, produced water disposal in aquifers, etc. The particle capture in porous media can be caused by different physical mechanisms (size exclusion, electrical forces, bridging, gravity, etc). A statistical model for filtration in porous media is proposed and analytical solutions for suspended and retained particles are derived. The model, which incorporates particle retention probability, is compared with the classical deep bed filtration model allowing a physical interpretation of the filtration coefficients. Comparison of the obtained analytical solutions for the proposed model with the classical model solutions allows concluding that the larger the particle capture probability, the larger the discrepancy between the proposed and the classical models

O tema no processo criativo da Asmarias Companhia de Teatro

Seted in the context of the educational actions of Casa Renascer, a non-governmental organization, located in Natal city, which had as its primary purpose the care with children and adolescent girls in vulnerable situations, this research is based on describing and analysis on the topic in the creative process developed by Asmarias Theatre Company from 1993 to 2003, a process that culminated in the assembly of the dramatic text, Mateus e Mateusa, of Qorpo-Santo. In this research is focused on the route of the Theatre Company has done so much theater in its early history (1993), with the practice of reading and dramatic writing in the preparation of didactic material called Primer of Inventions, as in the procedures with theater street and forum theater (1997 to 2000) to the reunion in 2001 of seven teenagers which articulated the last group formation next to the assembly's text Qorpo-Santo (2002- 2003). During the development on this learning, the evolution of the creative process based on institutional theme when asked if one can provide moments of educational experiences through the traditional form of theater, with reference to the issues inherent in the dramatic texts considered classics. The debate on the issue through research and analysis in its descriptions and finds in the interim between his past and present indications that lead to conclusive guises. The methodology, which is guided by research, is based in theatrical archeology (PAVIS, 2005), the evidential paradigm (GINZBURG, 1989) and the second approaches the experiences narrated by Benjamin (1985). We selected documents in formats of written texts, photographic and filmed, and identified in these files, marks and tracks which took us to understand the subject in the creative process of Asmarias Theatre Company during the tests with the dramatic text, Mateus and Mateusa, of Qorpo-Santo. In this theatrical practice, located in the field of the theater pedagogy, it appears that the actions across thematic theater in the Casa Renascer and allowed the formation of critical aesthetic perspective and personal social dimension of the subjects involved. The theme has gained a significant proportion in the theatrical activity as a guiding point of the creative process of Theatre Company, taking in the theatrical art form. In this sense, the creative process with the dramatic and classic texts won the educational dimension to address the issue in the movement of the drama as the focus of individual creation which added to the collective universe of the interactive game

Análise da modelagem experimental da perda de injetividade

Injectivity decline, which can be caused by particle retention, generally occurs during water injection or reinjection in oil fields. Several mechanisms, including straining, are responsible for particle retention and pore blocking causing formation damage and injectivity decline. Predicting formation damage and injectivity decline is essential in waterflooding projects. The Classic Model (CM), which incorporates filtration coefficients and formation damage functions, has been widely used to predict injectivity decline. However, various authors have reported significant discrepancies between Classical Model and experimental results, motivating the development of deep bed filtration models considering multiple particle retention mechanisms (Santos & Barros, 2010; SBM). In this dissertation, inverse problem solution was studied and a software for experimental data treatment was developed. Finally, experimental data were fitted using both the CM and SBM. The results showed that, depending on the formation damage function, the predictions for injectivity decline using CM and SBM models can be significantly different
