Uma ação sinérgica por direitos reprodutivos: uma história sem fim
No Brasil, os direitos reprodutivos estão previstos em legislação nacional e normativas do Ministério da Saúde, devendo ser objeto de políticas públicas, e também uma agenda do movimento de mulheres desde os anos 1970. O planejamento familiar integra essas políticas, tendo como base os princípios da não coerção e escolha informada e responsável, implicando em parâmetros éticos. O Conselho Municipal de Saúde de Porto Alegre, mecanismo instituído por lei para exercer o controle social sobre essas políticas, foi instado em 2006 a assegurar os parâmetros éticos e legais quando um programa de implantes hormonais em adolescentes foi autorizado pela prefeitura sem debate no Conselho. A proposta deste artigo é refletir a partir da Ciência Política e do Feminismo sobre as estratégias utilizadas pelo movimento de mulheres para a reversão desse programa, suas alianças e argumentos, bem como as lições aprendidas. Como resultado se obteve a reversão do programa de implantes e o reposionamento do Conselho como órgão deliberativo da política de saúde.In Brazil, reproductive rights are provided for a national legislation and regulations of the Ministry of Health, should be the object of public policy, and is an agenda of women's movement since 1970 decade.

As a result is has obtained the reversal of the implants program and the deliberative body of the Health Council on health public policy
Option Or Obligation? The Determinants Of Labour Supply Preferences In Britain
We examine persistence in work hour constraints using subjective data from the British Household Panel Survey, and investigate the role of job and employer changes in alleviating these constraints. Evidence suggests that 40 per cent of employees prefer to work a different number of hours at their current wage, and the majority of these prefer to work fewer hours. Our estimates also indicate that, although these constraints persist over time, job and employer changes alleviate over-employment particularly among men. Work time preferences are determined by observed job and employer related characteristics, individual demographics, local labour demand and time-invariant unobserved individual-specific effects
Accounting for Football Players. Financial and Accounting Implications of 'Royal Club Liegois and Others V Bosman' for Football in the United Kingdom
The decision by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg in the case involving the Belgian footballer Jean-Marc Bosnian presents the most serious challenge yet to the influence football clubs hold over their players. The court decided that it is a breach of European law for clubs to demand a transfer fee in respect of a player at the end of his contract, as this is a restriction of the free movement of labour as set out in Article 48 of the Treaty of Rome. This paper considers the implications of this decision for professional football clubs in the UK, several of whom record the services provided by their players as assets on their balance sheet. The paper considers various possible accounting treatments and concludes that in the short term at least, given the uncertainties surrounding the industry post Bosman, recording the cost of players' registrations at their historical cost is the most appropriate policy for clubs to adopt. The paper also considers the implications of the case for clubs' fund-raising capabilities, through interviews with clubs' bankers, finding that banks are more concerned about the quality of income stream rather than the existence of security in the form of transferring players' registrations. 'If someone regards players as a merchandise with a monetary value, whose value may in some cases even be included in the balance sheet, he does so at his own risk.
