Gestão democrática nas escolas: a atuação dos diretores escolares e os desafios para sua consolidação na rede municipal de Natal/RN

The democratic management is a challenge for education, on the one hand for its actualization needs a link between the government and the educational institution. From that, research aims to understand the main challenges faced by the school administration to consolidate the management of public schools in Natal/RN. Against this context the methodology used was multiple cases, qualitative approach in which respondent were manager (director, deputy director and coordinator) of the four municipal schools and two representatives of the Democratic Management Commission of a Government departament of Education, Natal/RN. The analysis was made by peers, between schools that had grade superior IDEB that average stipulated by the federal government and two that had grade lower and between managers and representatives of the Secretary. Were used techniques of categorization and content analysis of the speeches of respondents. Was note that managers understand the importance of the participation about whole community in the democratic management, however only one school highlighted means of attracting the parents against to the difficulty of representing these. The lack of knowledge about the democratic management is evident mainly in the pair of schools with lower IDEB. That schools with a lower IDEB adhere to this management as a way to meet rules. So unanimous, the broad role of director hampers knowledge about the legislation. About relationship of the Government department with managers, there are some contradictions between the understanding of the role of the coordinator by managers and representatives of the Government department. It was perceptible the no uniformity about a good relationship between managers and Government department. It was notable features of democratic management in all school units, well as the efforts of the Government department in this scope. However there are also undemocratic features that deserve further study

O Modelo de gestão participativa do Plano Nacional do Turismo (PNT-2003/2007): a atuação do CONETUR/RN

To implement policies and plans at the tourist sector involve disposition to the establishment of parceries among government and private initiative, space to the action of studious, researchers and professionals of several areas of knowledge and formation, able of to give new courses no only at the tourism, but to the economy how a every, seen which the tourism had a effect multiplicator, reaching 52 sectors of the economy. At this sense, the Brazil came pruning for a new phase of politic actuation at the touristy activity. Until the year 2002, the tourism politic in the Brazil no had detail, because herself treated of isolated actions and many without continuity. However, at to start 2003, several actions were developed in order to contribute for the national touristy planning. The principal was the creation of Ministério do Turismo, accompanied of the formulation and implementation of the Plano Nacional do Turismo (2003/2007). This work pretend to understand the implementation at the Rio Grande do Norte of the model of participative administration extolled by Plano Nacional do Turismo. The your centre detail the action of the Conselho Estadual de Turismo do Rio Grande do Norte (CONETUR), to promote the participation at the tourism public policies. The bibliographical research contemplated diverse sources in order to compile knowledge of credential authors in the quarrel of inherent subjects to the participation and to the tourism public policies, especially at the Brazil. A qualitative perspective the case study was adapted as research method and for attainment of the data interviews with the members of the Conselho had been carried through beyond consultation the referring documents the dynamics of functioning of the Conselho. The principal actuations of the CONETUR, the directives tourism public policies already made and directed to implementation, the type of participation at made decision, the principal difficulties of the implementation of the participative administration model of the Plano Nacional do Turismo and the degree of participation of the members of the Conselho at the reunions had been identified. The results had shown that exist some difficulties at the implementation of the participation at the Conselho Estadual de Turismo do Rio Grande do Norte, knowledge of the Conselheiros of CONETUR function, the presence of bodies which doesn t directly connected at the touristy activity; the absence of time of the Conselheiros to be presents at reunions; the discontinuity of the presidency of the Conselho; among others. So, the CONETUR show himself how a Conselho with participative characteristics, but with some adapted needs.

Unidades de manejo para pinus: desenvolvimento e aplicação de metodologia em áreas de produção no oeste catarinense.

O presente trabalho teve por objetivos desenvolver e aplicar, no oeste catarinense, uma metodologia de estabelecimento de unidades de manejo para pinus a partir do mapeamento semi-detalhado de solos das áreas de estudo. Duas hipóteses de trabalho foram modeladas, ambas utilizando o sistema de produção de pinus local, que não faz correção da deficiência de nutrientes (ΔN): uma interpretação baseada na ausência de resposta ao melhoramento do ΔN, ou seja, que os tetos de produtividade independem dessa ação, sendo esse o modelo atual; e uma segunda interpretação considerando que a ausência do melhoramento do ΔN interfere nos tetos de produtividade do cultivo de pinus para as terras estudadas, modelo que representa um novo paradigma a ser testado. Cada polígono do mapa de solos detalhado foi associado a uma base de dados, que permitiu a definição dos graus de limitação das terras (ΔN, deficiência de água, deficiência de oxigênio, suscetibilidade à erosão e impedimentos ao manejo) para o cultivo do pinus. Conjuntos de critérios, considerando os diferentes graus de limitação alcançados para cada faixa de terra (polígonos do mapeamento de solos), definiram os guias para as classes de unidades de manejo para o cultivo de pinus. O mapeamento de solos semi-detalhado das áreas de produção identificou áreas mapeáveis associadas às classes de solos, em nível de ordem, Latossolos, Nitossolos, Cambissolos, Neossolos e Gleissolos. Essas cinco ordens geraram 36 unidades de mapeamento de solos. As limitações associadas aos atributos profundidade efetiva, relevo e presença de pedregosidade/rochosidade fizeram dos impedimentos ao manejo os fatores de limitação mais importantes para o cultivo de pinus das áreas mapeadas. Os quantitativos das classes de unidades de manejo para pinus dependeram de se considerar ou não a hipótese de resposta ao melhoramento do ΔN no sistema de manejo em uso na região. Na hipótese da ausência de resposta ao melhoramento do ΔN para a produção de pinus, temos os seguintes quantitativos: Apta superior com 113,14 ha (ou 7,5% da área mapeada); Apta inferior com 644,73 (ou 42,8% da área mapeada); Marginal superior com 408,35 (ou 27,1% da área mapeada); Marginal inferior com 277,58 ha (ou 18,4% da área mapeada) e Inapta com 63,2 ha (ou 4,2% da área mapeada). Ao se considerar a hipótese de uma resposta positiva ao melhoramento de ΔN para a produção de pinus e que o atual sistema de manejo não faz esse melhoramento, ocorre uma piora dos resultados, com muitas terras migrando das classes de unidades de manejo Apta (superior e inferior) para a classe Marginal superior.

La narrativa de Sara Insúa

No resulta en absoluto desconocido que en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, precisamente desde 1900 hasta 1939, en España se inicia una época caracterizada por el florecimiento cultural y artístico en la que la mujer se incorpora al ámbito laboral y empieza a adquirir ciertos derechos de los que hasta entonces no gozaba. Tales cambios la llevan a desempeñar un papel eficaz en el ámbito político, cultural y social, superando los impedimentos convencionales que la mantienen al margen de la sociedad, dedicada exclusivamente al entorno familiar y el sagrado deber conyugal y maternal. A partir de 1914, debido a la incorporación femenina al campo laboral, el asociacionismo y las reivindicaciones vinculadas a la emancipación, empieza un momento de gran esplendor y toda la sociedad española experimenta grandes transformaciones. No es de extrañar, pues que la nueva España brinde una oportunidad a la mujer para acceder al ámbito literario, tras estar sometida al rechazo e intolerancia con que el siglo anterior vincula la relación femenina con la pluma, permitiéndole por fin, ejercer la actividad intelectual, aunque con ciertas limitaciones, debido a que la sociedad estaba aún influenciada por los cánones decimonónicos. En este contexto, he de señalar que la participación femenina en el mundo de la literatura fue muy relevante, aunque muchas de las autoras que empezaron su trayectoria en aquel periodo han sido relegadas al olvido. Una de estas escritoras es Sara Álvarez Insúa Escobar a la que elegí como tema de esta tesis doctoral con el fin de poner al descubierto su obra junto a su prolífica labor literaria en una etapa difícil para el reconocimiento profesional de la mujer. Por ello, el principal objetivo de este trabajo tiene como fin contribuir a la recuperación actual de su prestigio literario. Durante la fase de investigación, descubrí que Sara Insúa se encuentra entre las destacadas escritoras de la época de la "Edad de Plata" que dejan su impronta en la literatura escrita por mujeres en aquel momento y también noté que su obra sufre una gran desatención por parte de la crítica. Por ello, como primera fase de elaboración de ese estudio, tuve que recuperar y reconstruir una gran parte de sus datos biográficos...
