Relações de força e políticas educacionais no Brasil: a caixa de Pandora brasileira

O que Pandora e sua caixa pode nos revelar sobre a política educacional brasileira? O tema da centralidade da educação básica e sua incorporação como direito social transpassa toda esta tese com um enfoque teórico que se propõe a desvelar a realidade a partir de suas contradições e relações entre singularidade, particularidade e universalidade. A análise se propôs a entender o seu desenvolvimento histórico a partir de sua gênese, captando categorias mediadoras para apreender a totalidade. Concentramos nossa análise nas políticas governamentais para a Educação Básica no Brasil porque diante da complexidade e da desigualdade do sistema educacional brasileiro qualquer estudo abarca um conjunto de escolhas que estão conectadas com a nossa trajetória. Sendo assim, as relações de força organizam e estruturam as políticas educacionais brasileiras, com o objetivo de criar e/ou fortalecer uma sociabilidade, de acordo com a conjuntura e pautada nos interesses dos governos. Nossa análise terá como referencial teórico a perspectiva gramsciana da centralidade da política. A política como aporte teórico está relacionada à ideia de entendimento do programa de ação do Estado Brasileiro no seu sistema educacional. O nosso intuito ao recorrer a Antonio Gramsci está em absorver de sua análise a forma de problematização que o constitui como um revitalizador, e na maioria dos casos ampliador, dos conceitos marxianos, possibilitando assim novas reflexões do mundo vivido e das conjunturas contemporâneas.

Do tratamento psicanalítico das psicoses em enfermaria psiquiátrica pública

Essa dissertação parte da experiência de trabalho em uma enfermaria psiquiátrica pública para investigar o tratamento psicanalítico das psicoses em dispositivo de internação. Para tal, faz um percurso sobre a função da internação psiquiátrica no contexto da reforma psiquiátrica brasileira, apresentando como a enfermaria do Centro Psiquiátrico Rio de Janeiro procura se organizar de acordo com o paradigma da atenção psicossocial. Segue indicando como a presença do psicanalista nesse serviço significa a introdução de uma nova lógica de abordagem da psicose, a lógica do inconsciente, apresentando como Freud e Lacan tomaram as psicoses a partir dessa lógica. Através de dois casos clínicos, discute-se como os elementos da clínica psicanalítica das psicoses podem ser abordados a partir do tratamento em um serviço de internação. Aponta como o tratamento em questão é fundamentalmente tratamento pelo discurso analítico, que toma o sujeito de uma forma radicalmente nova, ao convidá-lo a historicizar seu sofrimento, trazendo os significantes fundamentais de sua história. Aproximamos o trabalho do psicanalista em enfermaria do momento do início do tratamento, abordado por Lacan através das entrevistas preliminares. Isso significa acolher a fala do psicótico, instalando-se como secretário do alienado, condição necessária ao tratamento das psicoses. Isso possibilita que aquela fala passe de um testemunho singular de sua relação com a linguagem para alguma demanda de tratamento, o que ocorrerá caso ele encontre lugar no campo do Outro para sua fala, a partir da escuta do analista. Dessa forma, esse tempo inicial do tratamento pode se desdobrar em uma psicanálise. Entretanto, esse efeito não pode ser tomado como um ideal, sob risco de apagamento do sujeito em questão

Ashburn (Dart catchment) fisheries survey 1978

This is the Ashburn (Dart catchment) fisheries survey 1978 report produced by South West Water Authority in 1978. This report focuses on an exploratory survey to determine the population and distribution of all fish species and in particular salmonid species of the Ashburn stream. This survey is primarily intended for future reference on completion of the proposed Flood Alleviation Scheme of the Ashburn where it passes through the centre of Ashburton. Three sections were electro fished using D.C. Current Sections were chosen as easily accessible and through their relation in position to the intended scheme.

A educopédia e os embaixadores: estrangeiros em cena nas escolas públicas do município do Rio de Janeiro

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo suscitar questões acerca da tríade política, currículo e tecnologia nas escolas públicas do Município do Rio de Janeiro. Os objetos de estudo são uma plataforma online, chamada Educopédia, e os professores da Rede que se candidatam à função de Embaixadores da Educopédia. Discuto a plataforma e os professores Embaixadores como estrangeiros, tal como utiliza Bhabha (2013) para discutir sujeitos diaspóricos e o irrompimento do novo nos processos de tradução cultural. Assim, em diálogo com os autores Stephen Ball, Homi Bhabha, Jacques Derrida, Arjun Appadurai e Ernesto Laclau, discuto a Educopédia e seus Embaixadores, tomando-os como estrangeiros nos processos de produção curricular, contribuindo para o irromper do novo que não se caracteriza por um ineditismo de sentidos, ideias, concepções, mas sentidos híbridos num contexto político marcado pela articulação entre currículo e tecnologia como indicativo de qualidade. Entendo esse movimento de articulação, que se performatiza com a participação dos estrangeiros, como tecno-curricular em que a tecnologia promove fissuras nas concepções do currículo. Defendo uma perspectiva de currículo entendido como processo de enunciação cultural, produção de sentidos que se hibridizam em função das disputas por significação, numa política que é cíclica, não verticalizada, que transita e é traduzida em todos os espaços, produzindo múltiplos significados sobre as possibilidades da tecnologia para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem

A mercantilização do meio ambiente na cidade de Cabo Frio a partir dos fundamentos de Pierre George

A presente pesquisa mostra a teoria de Pierre George, geógrafo francês que viveu e analisou o século XX. O autor produziu uma leitura crítica da realidade, a partir de um contexto com várias transformações espaciais, guerras, expansão da industrialização, desenvolvimento das políticas do meio ambiente, questões sociais, entre outros pontos. Pierre George analisa o meio ambiente relacionando com o sistema econômico e os fatores políticos, indicando a função importante do espaço o conceito geográfico central. A partir das décadas de 1960 e 1970, há no capitalismo o novo sistema verde, que promete cuidar da degradação ambiental, mas estrategicamente pretende continuar o modelo de desenvolvimento. Esta realidade será incorporada por várias cidades em países desenvolvidos e em países subdesenvolvidos, que usarão o meio ambiente como uma mercadoria. Nesta pesquisa veremos o exemplo de Cabo Frio, Rj, uma cidade turística desde a década de 1950, que utiliza o meio ambiente como uma mercadoria, explorando a praia, os espaços verdes e a lagoa. Então a cidade será um exemplo excelente para confirmar a análise de George

Modeling the Potential Spread of the Recently Identified Non-Native Panther Grouper (Chromileptes altivelis)in the Atlantic Using a Cellular Automaton Approach

The Indo-pacific panther grouper (Chromileptes altiveli) is a predatory fish species and popular imported aquarium fish in the United States which has been recently documented residing in western Atlantic waters. To date, the most successful marine invasive species in the Atlantic is the lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles), which, as for the panther grouper, is assumed to have been introduced to the wild through aquarium releases. However, unlike lionfish, the panther grouper is not yet thought to have an established breeding population in the Atlantic. Using a proven modeling technique developed to track the lionfish invasion, presented is the first known estimation of the potential spread of panther grouper in the Atlantic. The employed cellular automaton-based computer model examines the life history of the subject species including fecundity, mortality, and reproductive potential and combines this with habitat preferences and physical oceanic parameters to forecast the distribution and periodicity of spread of this potential new invasive species. Simulations were examined for origination points within one degree of capture locations of panther grouper from the United States Geological Survey Nonindigenous Aquatic Species Database to eliminate introduction location bias, and two detailed case studies were scrutinized. The model indicates three primary locations where settlement is likely given the inputs and limits of the model; Jupiter Florida/Vero Beach, the Cape Hatteras Tropical Limit/Myrtle Beach South Carolina, and Florida Keys/Ten Thousand Islands locations. Of these locations, Jupiter Florida/Vero Beach has the highest settlement rate in the model and is indicated as the area in which the panther grouper is most likely to become established. This insight is valuable if attempts are to be made to halt this potential marine invasive species

Ecological condition of coastal ocean and estuarine waters of the U.S. South Atlantic Bight: 2000-2004

In March-April 2004, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and State of Florida (FL) conducted a study to assess the status of ecological condition and stressor impacts throughout the South Atlantic Bight (SAB) portion of the U.S. continental shelf and to provide this information as a baseline for evaluating future changes due to natural or human-induced disturbances. The boundaries of the study region extended from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to West Palm Beach, Florida and from navigable depths along the shoreline seaward to the shelf break (~100m). The study incorporated standard methods and indicators applied in previous national coastal monitoring programs — Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) and National Coastal Assessment (NCA) — including multiple measures of water quality, sediment quality, and biological condition. Synoptic sampling of the various indicators provided an integrative weight-of-evidence approach to assessing condition at each station and a basis for examining potential associations between presence of stressors and biological responses. A probabilistic sampling design, which included 50 stations distributed randomly throughout the region, was used to provide a basis for estimating the spatial extent of condition relative to the various measured indicators and corresponding assessment endpoints (where available). Conditions of these offshore waters are compared to those of southeastern estuaries, based on data from similar EMAP/NCA surveys conducted in 2000-2004 by EPA, NOAA, and partnering southeastern states (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia) (NCA database for estuaries, EPA Gulf Ecology Division, Gulf Breeze FL). Data from a total of 747 estuarine stations are included in this database. As for the offshore sites, the estuarine samples were collected using standard methods and indicators applied in previous coastal EMAP/NCA surveys including the probabilistic sampling design and multiple indicators of water quality, sediment quality, and biological condition (benthos and fish). The majority of the SAB had high levels of DO in near-bottom water (> 5 mg L-1) indicative of "good" water quality. DO levels in bottom waters exceeded this upper threshold at all sites throughout the coastal-ocean survey area and in 76% of estuarine waters. Twenty-one percent of estuarine bottom waters had moderate levels of DO between 2 and 5 mg L-1 and 3% had DO levels below 2 mg L-1. The majority of sites with DO in the low range considered to be hypoxic (< 2 mg L-1) occurred in North Carolina estuaries. There also was a notable concentration of stations with moderate DO levels (2 – 5 mg L-1) in Georgia and South Carolina estuaries. Approximately 58% of the estuarine area had moderate levels of chlorophyll a (5-10 μg L-1) and about 8% of the area had higher levels, in excess of 10 μg L-1, indicative of eutrophication. The elevated chlorophyll a levels appeared to be widespread throughout the estuaries of the region. In contrast, offshore waters throughout the region had relatively low levels of chlorophyll a with 100% of the offshore survey area having values < 5 μg L-1.
