Diagnóstico do gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos da construção civil-RCC no município de Palmas-TO com foco nas ações públicas

Este artigo científico aborda o tema dos resíduos sólidos da construção Civil, com foco nas políticas públicas adotadas pelo município de Palmas – TO, para o atendimento da Lei nº 12.305 de 02 de Agosto de 2010, que institui a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos. A implantação do Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos Sólidos pode reduzir problemas desde a geração dos RCC – Resíduos Sólidos da Construção Civil, bem como o transporte, tratamentos e disposição final. Com a avaliação do andamento da implantação da política nacional no município de Palmas, percebeu-se que o Plano existe e esta sendo colocado em prática seguindo as recomendações do desenvolvimento sustentável e respeitando a política vigente. A metodologia utilizada é a exploratória descritiva, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental.Palavras-Chave: Construção Civil, Gerenciamento de Resíduos, Entulho, RCC.ABSTRACTThis paper scientific discusses the theme solid waste of construction , with a focus at the public policies adopted by the municipality of Palmas-TO, for the attendance of law No. 12,305 of August 2, 2010, establishing the national solid waste policy. The deployment of the management solid waste plan can reduce problems since the generation of RCC – solid waste of construction civil, as well as carriage, treatments and end disposal.With the assessment of progress of the implementation of the national policy in the municipality of Palmas, it was noticed that the plan exists and is being placed into practice by following the recommendations of the sustainable development and respecting the existing policy.

Powerscapes

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2012.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 149-151).In 2050, global oil supply will decline to 1/8 of today's. Migrating to the Post-Oil Era, over 10000's km2 of Powerscapes - the solar-collecting infrastructure - will be gradually constructed across the arid desert, for the indispensable production of solar energy to sustain Middle East's economy and global energy supply. The contingency of introducing the Powerscapes is a spatial problem. Unlike a powerplant that burns coal or oil, the scale of the Powerscapes is dramatically extensive. The inserted Powerscapes will interiorize the desert landscape and shelter the ground from the harsh direct sunlight that will be captured for power supply. Transformation in biological development, meteorological activity and geological phenomena will be inevitable, but the change that reduces the heat and evaporation rate will make its climatatic dynamics more habitable for human, animals and plants - an invaluable opportunity for the synthesis of energy production and climate conditioning. This thesis investigates the strategic programming and spatial configuration of such constructed landscape, capitalized by its new temporal characteristics, and sensitively adapting to it. Layers of material will be organized to form "Strata" of temporal conditions to be stretched across the landscape. To forge a symbiotic relationship between Solar Collection, human habitation, agricultural production and wild nature, the layers of material will delineate, push, flip, intersect, puncuate, wrap and merge, responding to programmatic needs and geographical dynamics that the natural geology and the Powerscapes together create. Such adaptive organization also permits certain geometrical and configuration logic to reiterate themselves in multiple scales, formulating a fractalic field with recursive part to whole relationships.by Chun Lun Otto Ng.M.Arch

Enrolling the Citizen in Sustainability: Membership Categorization, Morality and Civic Participation

This article examines the common-sense and methodical ways in which "the citizen" is produced and enrolled as an active participant in "sustainable" regional planning. Using Membership Categorization Analysis, we explicate how the categorization procedures in the Foreword of a draft regional planning policy interactionally produce the identity of "the citizen" and "civic values and obligations" in relation to geographic place and institutional categories. Furthermore, we show how positioning practices establish a relationship between authors (government) and readers (citizens) where both are ascribed with the same moral values and obligations toward the region. Hence, "the citizen" as an active participant in "sustainable" regional planning is viewed as a practical accomplishment that is underpinned by a normative morality associated with the task of producing orderliness in "text-in-interaction.

Protocols for early discharging of premature infants: An empirical assessment on safety and savings

Background Preterm newborns may be discharged when clinical conditions are stable. Several criteria for early discharge have been proposed in the literature. This study carried out the first quantitative comparison of their impact in terms of hospitalization savings, safety and costs. Methods This study was based on the clinical histories of 213 premature infants born in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Padova University Hospital between 2013 and 2014. Seventeen early discharge criteria were drawn from the literature and retrospectively applied to these data, and computation of hospitalization savings, safety and costs implied by each criterion was carried out. Results Among the criteria considered, average gains ranged from 1.1 to 10.3 hospital days and between 0.3 and 1.1 fewer infections per discharged infant. Criteria that led to saving more hospital days had higher cost-effectiveness in terms of crisis and infection, and they spared infants from more infections. However, episodes of apnea and bradycardia were detected after the potential early discharge date for all criteria, with a mean number of episodes numbering between 0.3 and 1.4. Conclusion The results highlight a clear trade-off between days saved and health risks for infants, with potential consequences for health care cost

Captive in cycles of invisibility? Prisoners’ work for the private sector

© The Author(s) 2018. This article critiques a case of modern prison-labour by exploring prisoners’ attitudes towards the prison-work they undertake while incarcerated. The study is based at a privatised male prison in the UK, assigned the pseudonym ‘Bridgeville’. Bridgeville contracts with private-sector firms in providing market-focused prison-work – so-called real work – for inmates in some of its workshops. In exploring prisoners’ perceptions of this privatised prison-work, it is found that it mainly comprises mundane, low-skilled activities typical of informalised, poor-quality jobs that are socially, legally and economically devalued and categorised as forms of ‘invisible work’. At Bridgeville, such privatised prison-work largely fails in engaging or upskilling inmates, leaving them pessimistic about its value as preparation for employment post-release. Its rehabilitative credentials are therefore questioned. The article contributes to the debate around invisible work more generally by problematising this example of excluded work and the cycle of disadvantage that underpins it
