Edentulismo funcional e seus fatores de risco em adultos

The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors to the functional edentulism in adults aged 35 a 44 years old of Natal-RN, 278 adults took part in the study. They were all selected from a previous dental loss prevalence study thus being complemented by an active research. The study was a case-control based and data collection was made though a survey as well as with a clinical examination. The cases were identified through individuals with 20 or more teeth. Age and gender were used as variables of pairing off. The data was analyzed through chi-square, significant level of 95% to the checking of its force associations. The independent variables were grouped in three levels. The first one, more macro, is related to the region where the individual lives, which was also related to the second level, the family-based one, linked with a third level, at this low socio-economical level, where the domiciliary density was favorable, living in capital cities, regions with prime sanitary condicitions, with predominant possibility of accessing the public dental service, but in despite of this, only looking for this service when tooth ache is felt, where preferentially an aid dressing treatment is executed in detriment of preventive procedures. From all the samples, less than 25% of the individuals make use of tobacco and alcoholic beverages for quite a number of years. There was an association of functional edentulism with all the studied variables in a regional method. In the family-based with Critério Brasil (OR=4,45) and monthly wages (OR=9,62) and to an to an individual level, the associations took place with the current use of kind of attendance (OR=1,78), looks for dressing treatment (OR=2,51), does not look for preventive treatment (OR=3,31), pain as the main cause of demand (OR=1,92), previous treatment as the demanding reason for dental service (OR+0,28), interval of the last visit to the dental service (OR=1,35) and when advise was received (OR=1,66). It was noticed from the results that the functional edentulism is much more expressive in those families which live in environments with precarious social economical sanitary conditions. Such conditions seem to have a direct influence upon the family social economical conditions which are also shown in detriment to functional edentulism. In the same way, the collection of variants influence the social economical conditions of the individual, as well as the kind of dental service searched by them, the reason of the search and the interval of the last visit to the dental service were strong determiners to the functional edentulism. Beyond that, individual habits like the use of tobacco and its frequency on its previous use influenced in a significant way the existence of functional edentulism in the studied population

Caracterização sócio-ambiental do bairro de Felipe Camarão- Natal/ RN

The rapid growth of the Brazilian cities in the latest years has brought a series of problems regarding housing policies and, therefore, the provision of dwellings for the low-income class people. Following the pattern of other capital cities, Natal has repeated the pattern of urbanization practiced in the country, which concentrates the low-income class inhabitants in specific zones of the city known as peripheries or even in a dwelling place for less-favored classes such as Felipe Camarão, which is one of ten boroughs belonging to the western administrative zone, a region which has historically received less attention from the public administrators towards infrastructure investments. Based on those aspects, the general objective of this work is to investigate which main social-environmental alterations have resulted from the processes of urbanization and field occupation in that area. The specific objectives are concerned with verifying 1) the process of urbanization and the process of dividing urban soil from the 1960s; 2) the current configuration of the public spaces in the borough; 3) the process of the deprivation of the original landscape characteristics of Environmental Protection Zones; 4) the dynamics of land occupation which are predominant in dune areas; 5) the dynamics of land occupation which are predominant in mangrove areas; 6) and the destruction of green covering on the land with its consequent alteration of the local floristic pattern. The methodology consisted of in-loco visits; the application of questionnaires as community research; a survey of bibliography published by the organisms and institutions in charge of carrying out the city hall s environmental and housing policies; and descriptive statistics of the collected data. Concerning the pattern of occupation which is predominant in the borough, the treatment of space dispensed by the local dwellers has culminated in the emergence and consolidation of environmental alterations which are clearly different from common occurrence in both the building area represented by housing complexes and in the green areas represented by dunes and mangroves. The data show that there was the predominance of the irregular land occupation process over the official housing policy during the population settlement which contributed with a series of frequent and foreseeable problems in the dynamics of urbanization of poverty such as invasions and appropriations of land parcels, the beginning of irregular arrangement of streets, the formation of villages and slums, which are full of self-constructed housing units, and the occupation and degradation of susceptibly fragile environmental areas such as the dune slopes and the mangroves

Somente um deve vencer: as bases de recrutamento dos candidatos à Prefeitura das capitais brasileiras em 2008

Não é segredo para os estudiosos e é reconhecido pelos atores envolvidos no jogo político que o Prefeito desempenha importantes atividades, podendo influenciar o dia-a-dia da população, a relação com outras esferas de governo e as eleições gerais. Tomando como universo empírico os candidatos ao cargo de Prefeito das capitais brasileiras em 2008, procuramos identificar e analisar as bases de recrutamento desses concorrentes ao principal posto político do município. As interpretações correntes na literatura concentram-se sobre os vencedores da disputa eleitoral, deixando de lado os derrotados. O que os vencedores têm que os derrotados não têm? Seria o perfil dos vencedores diferente daquele encontrado no grupo dos derrotados? Com o propósito de oferecer uma contribuição aos estudos das bases de recrutamento dos membros pertencentes às elites locais, o texto está organizado em uma única seção, onde vamos discutir três dimensões: (i) gênero, faixa etária e naturalidade; (ii) nível de instrução, grupo profissional e mandato executivo e (iii) gastos com campanha e tamanho do patrimônio. Essas características podem ajudar a construir um perfil sociopolítico dos membros pertencentes aos grupos dos vencedores e dos derrotados nas eleições municipais de 2008 para o cargo de Prefeito das capitais brasileiras. Além disso, o estudo desses atributos pode indicar quais predominaram na disputa eleitoral, isto é, quais deles podem mostrar as características que circundam o processo seletivo dos integrantes do distinto grupo político.

O encabecamento das armaduras urbanas nacionais: uma revisão

Starting from Jefferson's 'law of the primate city' and Zipf's 'rank-size rule', examines the question of the heading of national urban systems, seeking to stretch the analysis as far as possible in space and time. Thus, 131 countries were included in the study, most of them also viewed from the evolutive side. It was found that there is a main tendency for urban systems to evolve to the primate leadership, maintained by Jefferson as the normal pattern. Among the various factors that act in this direction, the attraction exercised by political power located in the capital cities is dominant.-English summary

“Crias do abuso na Amazônia”: os (ab)usos discursivos da imprensa paraense na cobertura de casos de violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes

Esta Dissertação de Mestrado problematiza como os jornais paraenses, O Liberal e Diário do Pará, dois dos mais importantes periódicos da Amazônia na atualidade, produzem discursos sobre casos de violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes. Tomamos, como suporte de pesquisa, notícias publicadas nas páginas policiais e em diversas editorias, ao longo da trajetória dos dois jornais, além de enunciados jornalísticos produzidos durante a vigência da Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito (CPI) da Assembleia Legislativa do Estado do Pará (ALEPA), entre 2008 e 2010. Para tornar possível a análise discursiva sobre essa complexa temática, adotamos como metodologia a Análise do Discurso (AD) de vertente francesa, especialmente os postulados de Michel Foucault sobre discurso, história e poder, a fim de efetuarmos as leituras do corpus selecionado. Para aprofundarmos a nossa análise, fizemos um trabalho arqueológico da história da imprensa paraense para observarmos a atualização de redes de memória e as relações de poder que atravessam os discursos dos jornais sobre a temática, pois na microfísica de poder midiático amazônico ambos travam uma “guerra discursiva” registrada de forma peculiar em suas páginas. Assim, fizemos uma aproximação dos estudos da análise do discurso com os do jornalismo, por meio de teóricos do campo da Comunicação, como Nelson Traquina. Além disso, nossa pesquisa considerou nas análises as peculiaridades da Amazônia, região ao norte do país que sofre diversos apagamentos discursivos midiáticos nacionais ao longo da história e onde também observamos, em meio a sua diversidade, a prática cultural das “crias”, realidade que nossos estudos mostraram como secular e que até hoje retira crianças de cidades do interior para morar e estudar na capital. Essa e outras dinâmicas que envolvem o abuso e exploração sexual de crianças e adolescentes nos levaram à percepção de uma série de (ab)usos discursivos sobre o tema na imprensa paraense.

Peias e espartilhos: sátira popular à moda francesa na Primeira República

In the first decades of the Republic, the streets of the main Brazilian capital cities, especially of Rio de Janeiro and Recife, recently urbanized based on the Haussmanian Paris and smiled upon by the fever of cosmopolitanism that invested Europe, women had been used as runways where they could exhibit her imitated or imported models, especially in Paris. The iconography of the time and the advertisements conveyed by magazines and illustrated periodicals, such as the Almanach de Pernambuco and the magazine Kosmos, for instance, form the testimonies of the massive presence of the French in Rio and Recife, owners of stores and maisons, interested in fulfill the demands of the republican public. In spite of the Strong adherence of the Brazilians to the sociability models to the imported from Europe, the less-favored classes, through the popular literature, showed some resistance to these changes in the habits and clothing, especially in the Northeast, where traces of the Catholic and patriarchal moral and mentality were still alive.

Im Herzen der Macht? Hauptstädte und ihre Funktion

Hauptstädte (Capital Cities) spielen eine wichtige Rolle für die kulturelle, soziale und politische Identität eines Landes. Sie gelten als Schaltzentralen und ihre Macht drückt sich nicht nur in ihrem repräsentativen Stadtbild aus, sondern auch in der Art und Weise, wie sich diese Städte in nationalen und internationalen Netzwerken positionieren.
