Educação para a Sustentabilidade: Uma visão da história da educação socioambiental no Brasil e o caso da REDECRIAR de Porto Alegre RS

A presente dissertação de Mestrado visa à investigação, observação e o estudo de ações de Educação para a Sustentabilidade (nos âmbitos da educação formal e não formal) que vêm sendo desenvolvidas, através de levantamento histórico e de um Estudo de Caso. O objetivo é refletir sobre aspectos das relações existentes entre ONGs socioambientalistas e escolas públicas e seu respectivo impacto nas localidades onde estão sendo implementadas, bem como, nos indivíduos nelas inseridos. Pretende-se analisar estas relações, as metodologias utilizadas, bem como, refletir sobre políticas públicas que apóiam estas ações.

Foraminíferos, ostracodes e microfauna associada da plataforma continental equatorial norte-rio-grandense, NE Brasil: área Porto do Mangue a Galinhos

This study was conducted in the adjacent Brazilian equatorial inner shelf to Rio Grande do Norte, between the region of Porto do Mangue and Galinhos. The main objective is the characterization of biogenic sediments, especially foraminifera and ostracod collected on the surface of the seafloor. The methodology involved standard procedures including literature, surveys, processing of samples in the laboratory and identification of foraminifera and ostracods by genera or species under stereo microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Multivariate statistical analyzes and study of ecological indexes were also applied to the study of foraminifera. Three transects, from inner shelf to slope were sampled: profile 01 (east, near Galos), profile 02 (center, near the city of Macau) and profile 03 (west, near Ponta do Mel). Results indicated the predominance of benthic foraminifera and little plankton occurrence. Benthic foraminifera genera observed in abundance were Quinqueloculina, Textularia, Globigerina and Pyrgo, Quinqueloculina, Textularia, Pyrgo, Ammonia, Elphidium, Pseudononion, Peneroplis, Bolivina and Poroeponides, occurred more frequently. Less frequently been described Amphistegina, Archaias, Bigenerina, Cibicides, Cassidulina, Amphicorina, Cornuspira, Paterina, Hopkunsina, Oolina, Uvigerina, Fusenkoina, Nonionella, Amphisorus, Wiesrella, Reussella, Reophax, Nodosaria, Marginulina and Cyclogyra. Six genera of ostracods were also identified: Puriana variabilis / P. convoluted?, Loxoconcha sp, Bairdiidae, Xestoleberis sp, Hemicytheridae and Ruggiericythere sp. Groups of organisms found in the studied shelf presented chemical composition of Ca, C, O, Na, Cl, Al, Mg, and Si. The proportions of chemical elements may vary according to the type of biogenic sediment, with the highest values identified as Ca, C, Cl, Na and O. The absolute dating by carbon 14 method indicated sediments of different colors (light and dark), correspond to a single age from 3000 to 6000 years BP, related to the Quaternary. These data intend to complement information about biogenic sediments in the Brazilian continental shelf, especially in the Northeast, where there is a lack of such studies.

Do ancoradouro à sala de espera: as obras de melhoramento do porto e a construção de uma Natal moderna (1893-1913)

Through the nineteenth century, it was constant in the discourse of the local norte-rio-grandenses (Natal city, Brazil) administrators, the appeal for subsidy to the central government for the works of the port of Natal upgrade. The port in the capital, the main route of the Rio Grande do Norte communication, because of the limitations attached to it, as the dunes surrounding the city spreading sand in the riverbed, and several reefs located along the coast, did not allow the entry in his berth larger ships. These difficulties brought major problems the province, who could not hold the flow of production coming from the inside, resulting in the north of Rio Grande political scene, questioning the centrality of Christmas position in the province. Only Republican scheme had been approved credit by the federal government for the improvement works of the port. The port became the Republican political discourse Potiguar one of the main promises to bring "progress" the Potiguar land, being placed as a central issue of which depend on the "future" of the state. The objective of this study is to analyse the emergence of a new port concept in speeches and interventions of the local ruling groups in the early twentieth century. We analyse the emergence of a modern notion of port, marked by the organizing effort, rationalization and regulation of port activities by the state, and the new relationship assumed by the harbour front to the city resulting from this new perception. The port has become for local leaders to groups of capital "waiting room", requiring change of the composition of urban space for integrating the port to the city. The Port of Natal became endowed with a pedagogical function, incorporating the urban fabric, codes, values and practices considered by local managers as modern and civilized. This new city space, considered a "waiting room", caused conflicts between the local ruling groups and influential figures in the Potiguar political field, which sought to encourage with the process of organizing the harbour front undesirable regarded figures in the city views as an impediment to the image of progress and modernity that the dominant groups intended to expose the port.

A Operacionalidade de um Departamento de Marketing do Sheraton Porto Hotel & SPA

O relatório apresentado reflete a experiência de nove meses de estágio no departamento de marketing do Sheraton Porto Hotel & SPA. Inicia-se com uma introdução ao conceito de marketing e ao de turismo, de seguida, à sua junção, ou seja, o marketing turístico, como surgiu, a sua importância e a sua evolução ao longo dos tempos, para melhor enquadramento das atividades desenvolvidas no estágio. Também neste ponto, irei focar a importância da internet no turismo, ou seja, o seu impacto nesta atividade que todos os anos atraí milhares de pessoas ao nosso país. Por fim, irei caracterizar o fenómeno do turismo na cidade do Porto, que tem vindo a aumentar ao longo dos anos, refletindo assim, as altas taxas de ocupação hoteleira, sendo o marketing o principal impulsionador para o crescimento desta cidade. No segundo ponto do relatório será caracterizada a cadeia que me acolheu durante o estágio, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Inc, assim como, uma das sete marcas, neste caso, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts. Farei também referência a um dos maiores programas de fidelização, SPG (Starwood Preferred Guest), e das diversas campanhas que este programa desenvolve durante o ano, onde o papel do marketeer torna-se crucial para divulgação do mesmo. Realizarei uma breve caracterização do Sheraton Porto Hotel & SPA, assim como, o seu público-alvo, ocupação e darei a minha opinião crítica sobre o local de estágio. Ainda neste capítulo, irá ser retratado todas as tarefas diárias que executei durante os nove meses de estágio, assim como os novos programas, os novos conceitos que aprendi e todos os pontos-chave que ocorrem no dia-a-dia no departamento de marketing. Para finalizar este capítulo, irei realizar uma análise crítica e refletiva de meu estágio. No último capítulo deste relatório, estarão descritas duas das principais atividades desenvolvidas durante o estágio, com o objetivo da resolução de determinados problemas nomeadamente a criação de um site durante a época de natal e passagem de ano e a criação de um novo layout e imagem para promoção do New Yorker Bar, durante o mundial de futebol 2014. Irei também dar a minha opinião crítica, assim como, algumas sugestões que poderão ser implementadas no futuro. Este trabalho pretende mostrar as atividades de um marketeer numa das maiores cadeias internacionais, assim como, a sua contextualização literária e a realização de tarefas de gestão de marketing.
