Política pública para o idoso : um estudo da cidadania no Grupo Cabelos de Neve do Programa Conviver em Campina Grande-PB

The main objective of the study about the citizenship development in elderly attended by the Conviver Program of the City Hall of Campina Grande in Paraiba, Brazil was to evaluate how the actions of the Program contribute for the citizenship practice according to the users. The Citizenship analyzed is the existence of political, civil and social rights according to Marshall. For that it was utilized a descriptive research and a study of case based on technical procedure. The research was settled by the people who are benefited by the Conviver Program of the Snow Hair Group and the sample was formed by the active participants that it is in the Group for over ten years, corresponding to a total of ten elderly. For the data collection was utilized basic questionnaire in function of the low schooling of the interviewed, according to Marshall (2002) theory about the citizenship construction from each person. It was utilized the methodological procedure proposed by Bardin (2006), categorical analysis, in the qualitative data analysis, that was divided in four parts. In relation to Political Rights, noted that the program has stimulated your Watched on the exercise of voting and being voted. On the Civil Rights was observed that the Program has given incentive to actions which provide the users the justice rights in and in occupational activities as a job. In relation to Social Rights it was observed that the Conviver Program has contributed in order that its users can lead their lives according to the standards imposed by the society, which have being failed in the education area. As for the type of citizenship it was verified that the Program has given incentive to the served users, becoming more evidence on the speech basis

Desenvolvimento de cerâmica vermelha utilizando rejeitos da construção civil

The Industry of the Civil Construction has been one of the sectors that most contribute to the pollution of the environment, due to the great amount of residues generated by the construction, demolition and the extraction of raw material. As a way of minimizing the environmental impacts generated by this industry, some governmental organizations have elaborated laws and measures about the disposal of residues from the building construction (CONAMA - resolution 307). This work has as objective the reutilization of residues compound of sand, concrete, cement, red bricks and blocks of cement and mortar for the production of red ceramic, with the objective of minimizing costs and environmental impacts. The investigated samples contained 0% to 50% of residues in weight, and they were sintered at temperatures of 950°C, 1000°C, 1050°C, 1100°C and 1150°C. After the sinterization, the samples were submitted to tests of absorption of water, linear retraction, resistance to bending, apparent porosity, specific density, XRD and SEM. Satisfactory results were obtained in all studied compositions, with the possible incorporation of up to 50% of residues in ceramic mass without great losses in the mechanical strength, giving better results to the incorporation of 30% of residues in the fabrication of ceramic parts, such as roofing tiles, bricks masonry and pierced bricks

O marketing e a atuação social das empresas: uma relação possível?

The present work is about a study of multiple cases with exploratory and descriptiveperspective and qualitative emphasis. Its field of study is constituted by three local companieswith description of social performance, with emphasis in the personal interview with thecontrollers. Its main objective consists of understanding as it has occurred the marketingrelation with the enterprise social performance in the context of these companies located inthe State of the Rio Grande do Norte who carry out social investments. For this, it hassearched to analyze the types and characteristics of the developed social actions, to evaluatethe motivations and objectives of the accomplishment of social actions, to verify theimportance and influence of the social performance in the dynamics of the companies, toverify the level of specific knowledge and information in the areas of marketing and socialperformance in the companies and to evaluate the process of communication (promotion andspreading) of the social performance carried out by the companies. It has been verified thatthe company A directly associates it its social and ambient activities with differentiationbenefits, competitiveness, creation of value, loyalty, relationships, image, prestige,positioning of the company, sale and financial return, beyond benefits in the internal level asbigger motivation of its employees and retention of talents, not existing rejection to theinterlacement of the concepts related to the marketing and the social one. Already in companyB rejection in relating its practical social to the marketing, being observed after posteriorquestionings, that the relation of direct and indirect form exists and those divulgations of theseactions are carried out, contradicting the arguments of the controllers of that the actions wouldnot be carried out to generate media. In company C, it been verified rejection andcontradiction with relation to the concepts related to the marketing, alleging itself that theimage of the harnessed company to its social performance is not used in proper benefit,evidencing itself that this company divulges its action and is marketable benefited, even so isnot this the main objective of its social programs. It has concluded that the association ofthese two concepts is positive and favorable to the development of the businesses and thesocial actions of the companies, legitimizing them and benefiting the involved company,groups in the actions and the society that profits socially from the private social involvement in the social matters

A comunicação interna numa organização pública

The present study compose an analysis on the process of internal communication at a public organization, built on the survey data originary of administrative conduct, observation on the cultural model of the organization and how the interdepartmental and interpersonal relations shows up. The research, exploratory descriptive kind, had theoretical basis on two knowledge areas Administrative Science and Social Communication and was developed at Instituto do Desenvolvimento Econômico e Meio Ambiente IDEMA, in Rio Grande do Norte. During data collection, were conducted spontaneous and semi structured interviews with directors and coordinators, besides the application of directed questionnaire to functionaries in two unites of the institution. Through the analysis and interpretation of the data, we came to the conclusion that the process of internal communication at a public organization fall in with same challenges of private organizations, but with peculiarities that attracts the scientific look specially, in concern of the attitude assumed by the administrators in the conduction of communication functions inside the organization, the profile of social actor and the communication channels used. Although the organizational communication represents more and more a strategic function, as an administration tool, the point that research gets to shows that in public organizations the communication refrains from administrative purpose and with the major objective of giving publicity to the institutional acts and actions

Florestas energéticas: parâmetros técnicos para elaboração de projetos no mercado de carbono.

As florestas têm papel importante na captura e estocagem de carbono da atmosfera através do processo fotossintético. Partindo desta premissa, são vislumbradas muitas oportunidades de participação das florestas no mercado de créditos de carbono, seja através de projetos de conservação das formações florestais remanescentes, seja através de projetos de substituição de combustíveis fósseis por fontes renováveis a partir de reflorestamentos comerciais. Projetos de conservação têm encontrado maior receptividade nos mercados voluntário de crédito de carbono e mais recentemente através de mecanismos tais como REDD (Redução de Emissões por Desmatamento e Degradação) e de Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais. Já os projetos que visam a substituição de combustíveis fósseis por produtos e resíduos de cadeias produtivas florestais têm encontrado mais oportunidades de comercialização de créditos de carbono através do MDL (Mecanismo de Desenvolvimento Limpo). Uma das atividades do projeto nacional em rede Florestas Energéticas, desenvolvidas na Embrapa Meio Ambiente (Jaguariúna-SP) é avaliar e sugerir oportunidades no mercado de carbono para as espécies florestais: Eucalyptus urophila S T Blake; Mimosa caesalpiniaefolia Benth; Acacia mangium Willd e Sclerolobium paniculatum Vogel. Através de consulta à literatura e aos especialistas sobre cada uma das espécies, foi elaborado um estudo técnico sobre a viabilidade de inserção dessas espécies florestais no mercado de carbono considerando-se os parâmetros técnicos necessários à elaboração de projetos florestais para o mercado de carbono. Como referência serão considerados os parâmetros requeridos pelas metodologias mais recentemente aprovadas pelo Conselho Executivo do MDL, relativas a projetos florestais. O objetivo primordial desse estudo é apontar as necessidades estratégicas de pesquisa e desenvolvimento visando a plena utilização dessas espécies como fontes de carvão vegetal com sustentabilidade econômica, social e ambiental.

Viabilidade do uso agrícola de resíduo da construção civil e da indústria cerâmica: atributos químicos.

O setor de construção civil enfrenta sérios problemas quanto à disposição de resíduos, uma vez que gera grandes quantidades ao longo do processo de execução das obras ou devido ao desmonte de construções já existentes. A disposição inadequada desses resíduos pode provocar sérios danos ambientais, tais como degradação do solo e recursos hídricos. Uma opção interessante pode ser seu uso agrícola, entretanto existem poucos estudos sobre o tema. Assim, o presente estudo visou caracterizar resíduos da construção civil e avaliar seu efeito sobre alguns atributos do solo. Para tal, foram realizadas análises de pH, teor de macro e micronutrientes e de elementos potencialmente tóxicos. Os resultados indicaram que os resíduos não poderiam ser utilizados como fonte de nutrientes e que também não apresentavam limitações quanto à presença de elementos potencialmente tóxicos. Os altos valores de pH encontrados indicaram potencial dos resíduos em alcalinizar do solo, o que foi confirmado no ensaio em vasos. Também se constatou que os resíduos provocaram aumento da CTC. Assim, concluiu-se que é viável utilizar esses resíduos da construção civil em solos agrícolas, embora mais avaliações ainda devam ser realizadas.

Aproveitamento de resíduos minerais na formulação de argamassas para a construção civil

Current environmental concerns include the excessive consumption and inefficient use of non-renewable natural resources. The construction industry is considered one of the largest consumers of natural raw materials, significantly contributing to the environmental degradation of the planet. The use of calcareous quarry (RPPC) and porcelain tile polishing residues (RPP) as partial replacements of the cement in mortars is an interesting alternative to minimize the exploration of considerably large amounts of natural resources. The present study aimed at investigating the properties of fresh and hardened mortars produced using residues to replace cement. The residues used were fully characterized to determine their specific mass, unitary mass, particle size distribution and morphology, and composition. The performance of the mortars was compared to that of reference compositions, prepared without residues. A total of 18 compositions were prepared, 16 using residues and 2 reference ones. The mortars were prepared using Portland CP II F 32 cement, CH I hydrated lime, river sand and tap water. The compositions of the mortars were 1:1:6 and 1:0.5:4.5 (vol%), and water to cement ratios of 1.87 and 1.45 were used, respectively. The mortars in the fresh state were evaluated by consistency index, water retention, density of mass and incorporated air content tests. In their hardened state, the mortars were evaluated by apparent mass density, modulus of elasticity, flexural tensile strength, compressive strength and water absorption by capillarity. The mortars were also analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and fluorescence. Finally, they were classified according to NBR 13281 standards. The mortars prepared using residues partially replacing the cement exhibited lower modulus of elasticity compared to the reference compositions, thus improving the performance in their intended use. On the downside, the water absorption by capillarity was affected by the presence of residues and both the tensile and compressive strength were reduced. However, from the overall standpoint, the replacement of cement by calcareous quarry or porcelain tile polishing residues did not result in significant changes in the properties of the mortars. Therefore, compositions containing these residues can be used in the construction industry

Trajetórias da agroecologia no Brasil: entre movimentos sociais, redes científicas e políticas públicas.

No Brasil, o movimento social de defesa de uma agricultura ecológica e socialmente justa, teve inicio nos anos 70, com forte oposição a agricultura industrial. Avançou com o fortalecimento da sociedade civil e finalmente, ocorreu à institucionalização. Na fase atual, ocorre um quarto momento, constituído pela redefinição e recomposição de diferentes versões da agricultura alternativa, no qual a agroecologia ocupa um lugar significativo. Portanto, é esse processo de recomposição das agriculturas ecológicas no país, que objetivamos retraçar, descrevendo as características e determinantes. A metodologia resulta de uma revisão bibliográfica, análise e interpretação sociológica de uma dezena de entrevistas abertas.Concluímos que estas diferenças no posicionamento podem ser amplamente relacionadas com concepções e escolas teóricas que têm influenciado os investigadores e agentes envolvidos, num contexto onde as redes científicas dedicadas a questões da agroecologia são muito heterogêneas.

Estimativas de estádios ninfais de Psilídeo-de-concha (Glycaspis brimblecombei) em função do tamanho das conchas.

O psilídeo-de-concha, Glycaspis brimblecombei, é considerado praga uarentenária A2 no Brasil que, pela preferência a Eucaliptus camaldulensis - espécie de elevada importância econômica - tem acarretado grande preocupação ao setor florestal nacional. A insuficiência de métodos químicos aceitáveis, pelas empresas certificadas internacionalmente, para o controle da praga vem tornando a estratégia de controle biológico pelo parasitóide Psyllaephagus bliteus a opção mais apropriada. Por esta razão a disponibilidade de métodos que ajudem a diferenciar estas fases é de grande importância tanto para a identificação precisa do seu ciclo de vida quanto para a proposição de estratégias de seu controle biológico. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi identificar os estádios ninfais de G. brimblecombei, estabelecer um padrão de tamanho para as mesmas e para suas respectivas conchas e, a partir deste, propor um método inédito para estimar estádios ninfais de desenvolvimento em função dos tamanhos de conchas amostradas. O método fez uso de minucioso trabalho de observação de conchas de diferentes tamanhos em lupa, identificando os estádios e tamanhos das ninfas presente em seu interior, o diâmetro das conchas por elas formadas, bem análises estatísticas e de tendências. Os resultados indicaram: Ninfa 1 - de 0,4 mm a 0,9 mm; Ninfa 2 - de 0,8mm a 1,2 mm; Ninfa 3 - de 1,2 mm a 1,6 mm; Ninfa 4 - de 1,7 mm a 2,2 mm;e Ninfa 5 - de 2,0 mm a 3,0 mm.

A assistência técnica nos habitats do MST e o papel do arquiteto e urbanista

This dissertation is about Architect and town planner inserts in the technical support of the Rural establishment and of the possibilities of changes in their habitat. It also looks for its participation through the production of those spaces with or without its performance through two references cases, in Rio Grande do Norte , one called settlement Eldorado de Carajás and another one called Maria da Paz. At first the process represents the model that was adopted systematically by Incra until the middle of the year 2000 with the sub-contracting of their construction work through small companies. These standardized projects which are executed without registration in the system CONFEA/CREA without demand of professional authorship and of technical responsibility of the work. But the process taken place at Maria da Paz s area was configured as one of the first initiatives that stopped with those practices. Consolidated through a partnership among UFRN MST and INCRA/RN, the Architect s technical support and town planner brought new technician-scientific organization and execution of the soil parcels and its habitat. The participation of UFRN was done through a group of studies in land reform and Habitat (GERAH) being this author and coordinator of the methodological proposal, based on the regressive-progressive method and in the inclusion of the conflict as responsible of the ruptures and transductions both done by Henry Léfèbvre and in the research action approached by Carlos Brandão. Therefore it included the process of social learning and collective production of new knowledge and attitudes in relation to the environment in the process called as attended self management in spite of the transformations happened with this new agent s participation. The people re-located to the new areas that got involved in the process and finished their constructions reelaborating the daily practice of the collective effort passed to the self management without technical support. Years later the implantation of those two experiences our research verified that there is a positive image concerning the Architect and town planner, related, most of all to the conception of the activities, orientation and execution of constructions projects and of acceptance of those professionals to the processes of implementation of the Habitats of the Rural establishments. This dissertation analyses this form of performance, from and beyond these images trying to find the professional, specificities or methodological in such a way to demonstrate the importance of its insertion in the formulation and attendance of the more of 100.000 habitats of Rural establishments of the land reform of the country that correspond to most of the housing social interest in the country side

Caracterização de casos de lesão medular e a sua relação com a independência funcional e qualidade de vida

Introdução: As lesões medulares acarretam consigo a problemática da deficiência, as suas respectivas sequelas interferem na qualidade de vida bem como na independência funcional destas pessoas, sendo habitual a existência de limitações que se prolongam ao longo a vida. O presente estudo visa a caracterização de sujeitos com lesão medular há mais de um ano, no que diz respeito à sua qualidade de vida e independência funcional, assim como, a relação entre as variáveis sóciodemográficas (género, idade, estado civil, escolaridade e profissão) e clínicas em estudo (nível, tipo, etiologia e data da lesão). Materiais e Métodos: O presente trabalho apresenta-se como um estudo observacional exploratório descritivo com abordagem quantitativa. A amostra foi formada por indivíduos adultos com lesão medular recrutados através da Associação Salvador e Associação Vida Independente. As medidas instrumentais utilizadas pelo estudo são o questionário sóciodemográfico e clínico, bem com a escala MIF (Granger, Hamilton, Keith, Zielezny, & Sherwins, 1986) e a escala SF-36 (Ware % Sherbourne, 1992). Resultados e Discussão: As análises demonstraram valores satisfatórios. A independência funcional e sua respectiva dimensão física e sóciocognitiva revelam resultados estatisticamente significativos com a variável nível neurológico. No que diz respeito à qualidade de vida esta demonstrou resultados estatisticamente significativos entre a dimensão desempenho emocional e a escolaridade entre o desempenho físico e a profissão e vitalidade e idade. Revelou igualmente valores satisfatórios entre todas as dimensões e o nível neurológico, entre a função social e data da lesão e por último entre a etiologia e função social, vitalidade, dor, saúde geral e mental. Conclusão: Os resultados obtidos com este estudo vêm reforçar a visão de que apesar dos indivíduos experienciarem um evento traumático e aspetos negativos após a lesão medular, há diferentes níveis de percepção de QoL e IF e que estas variam em função de algumas variáveis sóciodemográficas e clínicas. Neste ponto são ainda apresentadas as limitações do estudo e discutidas propostas de trabalhos futuros.

Natureza morta...edifício com vida: uma arquitetura sustentável para o Serviço de Verificação de Óbitos

Sustainability in buildings, while reducing the impact on the environment, contributes to the promotion of social welfare, to increase the health and productivity of occupants. The search for a way of build that meets the aspirations and development of humanity without, however, represent degradation of the environment, has become the great challenge of contemporary architecture. It is considered that the incorporation of principles that provide a sustainable building with careful choices of design solutions contribute to a better economic and thermal performance of the building, as well as functional and psychological comfort to its users. Based on this general understanding, this paper presents an architecture project aimed to health care whose the solutions adopted follow carefully the relevant legislation and sets his sights on the theme of sustainability. The methodology began with studies on the themes of verification service of deaths, sustainability and those application in construction developed through research in academic studies and analysis of architectural projects, using them like reference for the solutions adopted. Within the project analysis was performed a visit to the verification service of deaths in the city of Palmas in Tocantins, subsidizing information that, plus the relevant legislation, led to functional programming and pre-dimensional of the building to be designed. The result of this programming environments were individual records with information from environmental restrictions, space required for the development of activities, desirable flow and sustainability strategies, that can be considered as the first product of relevance of the professional master's degree. Finally we have outlined the basic design architecture of a Verification Service of Death SVO/RN (in portuguese), whose process of projecting defined as a guiding line of work four points: the use of bioclimatic architecture as the main feature projectual, the use of resources would provide minimal harm to the environment, the use of modulation and structure to the building as a form of rationalization and finally the search for solutions that ensure environmental and psychological comfort to users. Importantly to highlight that, besides owning a rare theme in literature that refers to architectural projects, the whole project was drawn up with foundations in projective criteria that contribute to environmental sustainability, with emphasis on thermal performance, energy efficiency and reuse of rainwater
