Urban space living in a changing city: sidewalks of Curitiba / Espaço urbano viver numa cidade em mudança: calçadas de Curitiba

This article aims to discuss the experience of the urban space, focusing on the conditions for pedestrian circulation, in the use of sidewalks, in Curitiba-PR, Brazil. In this city, as well as in the rest of the country, the use of public space is changing due to several factors, among them, the following stand out: the aging of the population and the greater participation of minority groups in decisions regarding public space, such as pedestrian groups. There was a problematic situation consisting of urban spaces designed primarily for automobiles, making it difficult for pedestrians to use such space or even preventing it in many cases. From this problem, it is questioned how the pedestrian, in three points of view, is using the sidewalks in Curitiba: a) the risks of being trampled; b) accessibility; and c) in terms of constructions and design quality. The assumption adopted is that the use of urban space by the pedestrian is a fundamental factor for sustainability by providing the practices of living and collective enjoyment of the same, by establishing relationships of sociability, physical exercises, recreation and leisure. The methodology used was based on the collection of information from municipal public agencies and bibliographical review of literature and academic research, using some categories of analysis: the public user; the building pattern; environmental conditions and municipal management practices. An analysis was made of the Strategic Plan of Sidewalks (PlanCal) of Curitiba and also the legislation regarding the construction and maintenance of public tours. The preliminary results showed that, in a city where the public transportation system was modeled on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) model, there is currently a high rate of individual motorization, the highest growth between 2001 and 2014 in the metropolitan Brazilian Regions areas, and an attention to the pedestrian that demands greater detailing and prioritization of work, investments and maintenance. Among the difficulties for the pedestrian are the following: the risks of being run over; low quality of accessibility; and problems in the execution and maintenance of the public tours, besides the need to expand the spaces destined to walking.

¿Scientia sexualis o ars erótica?Libido a fin de siglo en narradoras latinoamericanas

"¿Qué es el erotismo?" -pregunta Roland Barthes en un texto publicado hace más de tres décadas- "Una mera palabra" -responde con humor, aludiendo a una práctica difícilmente codificable en una sociedad que apenas permite ¡a enunciación de "deseos, preámbulos, sugestiones; sublimaciones ambiguas” -. Al proponer una posible definición de la retórica amorosa, Barthes parece anticiparse a un George Steiner que analizará años después la semántica de la sexualidad, denunciando "una devaluación de l..

A AVALIAÇÃO DO CURRÍCULO DO ENSINO MÉDIO INTEGRADO NO PROEJA: UM DIÁLOGO COM CRONBACH

Este artigo versa sobre o currículo do ensino médio integrado à formação profissional de nível técnico, ofertado pelo Programa de Integração da Educação Básica com a Educação Profissional na Modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (PROEJA), instituídopelo decreto nº 5.840/2006 e ofertado no Instituto Federal do Ceará a partir de 2007, pelo prisma da avaliação curricular na perspectiva de Joseph Lee Cronbach. É uma análise que se constitui de um levantamento documental e bibliográfico, com base no aporte legal que normatiza o PROEJA, bem como na contribuição de autores que discutem a educaçãoprofissional, como Silvia Maria Manfredi, Gaudêncio Frigotto, Maria Ciavatta e Marise Ramos, bem como Heraldo Marelim Vianna e Joseph Lee Cronbach – teóricos que estudam a avaliação educacional. Através das leituras e pesquisa empreendidas, concluiu‐se, dentre outros achados, que um programa da natureza do PROEJA, ao elaborar seus currículos, não pode descuidar‐se de realizar uma articulação entre o esenvolvimento econômico e social, buscando superar a separação entre o pensar e o fazer – reflexo da dicotomia entre formação profissional e educação básica –, uma vez que ela é historicamente e estruturalmente constituída no âmbito da luta entre as classes fundamentais do sistema em que estamos inseridos.  

Validation of the intellectual capital scale of nursing services

Objective:Nursing services are considered strategic in the functioning of health organizations, therefore the study of intellectualcapital (human capital, structural capital, relational capital of nursing services) in innovation as a contribution to decision policies,practice and research. The main focus is to promote critical thinking on the condition of nursing services in an innovativeperspective. This study aims to adapt and validate the psychometric properties of the Questionnaire of Intellectual Capital andInnovative Capacity (already used in business management, automobile) and apply it to the Nursing Services (QICICNS).Methods:A cross-sectional and quantitative study was carried out on a sample of 1,388 Portuguese nurses enrolled in the Nurses’Order. For the analysis of the psychometric properties of the instrument we used the factorial analysis of main components withvarimax rotation of the scale items and the calculation of the Cronbach Alpha coefficient.Results:The QICICNS analysis revealed good internal consistency (global scale = 0.95, constructs between 0.83 and 0.97) andgood quality of the items (KMO = 0.95), with four factors being extracted: human capital, relational capital, structural capital andinnovation.Conclusions:The positive indices of internal consistency and the sensitivity of this questionnaire show the validity of thereliable and robust data collection instrument in the studied context. Implications for nursing management: QICICNS, due to itsmultifaceted nature, can be a management tool in the decision making support by nursing managers. The characteristics of eachintellectual capital construct may influence the management of services and future investigations.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Unemployment, a Social Construction. Institutional Programs, Experiences and Meanings in a Comparative Perspective

A tradition of sociological research that goes back to the 1930s (Lazarsfeld et al., 1932) has constantly pointed out the diversity of reactions in the face of job deprivation and the consequent differences in the life stories of the persons concerned. In this sense, the category of unemployment – which differs from professional activity in that it implies being deprived of that activity, and from professional inactivity in that it implies actively seeking employment – can sustain a variety of interpretations: the people categorized as unemployed attribute various significations to their own situation and adhere to different sorts of identifications (...)

Evaluación de las reacciones agudas de la piel y sus factores de riesgo en pacientes con cáncer de mama sometidos a radioterapia

PURPOSE: Evaluate and classify skin reactions through the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) criteria and characterize factors that can intervene in these reactions. METHOD: Prospective study, with 86 women submitted to adjuvant breast radiotherapy with a total dose of 5040cGy, in a 6 MeV Linear Accelerator. Personal data were collected and breast size was measured (distance between field separation and breast height). The treated skin area was evaluated weekly. RESULTS: Breast height and treatment technique were significant factors in the univariate analysis for the incidence of degree 3 skin reactions. However, only breast height was a significant factor in the multivariate analysis for the severity of skin reactions. The chances of occurring degree 3 reactions increase 2.61 times for each increase in height unit (cm). These findings allow nurses to plan more adequate and individualized procedures for each patient and contribute to the optimization of treatment.El objetivo fue evaluar y clasificar las reacciones de la piel según los criterios del Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) y caracterizar factores que puedan interferir en esas reacciones. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio prospectivo, con 86 mujeres sometidas a la radioterapia en la mama, dosis total de 5040cGy, con Acelerador Lineal de 6 MeV. Fueron recolectados datos personales y medido el tamaño de la mama (distancia entre la separación de los campos y la altura de la mama). La evaluación de la piel del área de tratamiento fue realizada semanalmente. RESULTADOS: La altura de la mama y la técnica de tratamiento fueron significativos en el análisis univariado, para incidencia de reacción de piel grado 3. Sin embargo, solamente la altura de la mama fue el factor significativo en el análisis multivariado para la gravedad de la reacción de la piel. La probabilidad de ocurrir una reacción grado 3 aumenta 2,61 veces por cada aumento de 1 unidad de altura en cm. Lo encontrado le permite al enfermero planificar conductas más adecuadas e individualizadas para cada paciente y contribuir para optimizar el tratamiento.O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar e classificar as reações de pele, segundo os critérios do Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) e caracterizar fatores que possam interferir nessas reações.
