“If You Got a Forest, You Got Gold.” The Joys and Woes of Forest Use in Gyimes (Eastern Carpathians, Romania)
Authors: Babai Dániel
Published: August 2017

All over the world, rural communities developed mainly stable and sustainable, traditional (extensive) land use systems to manage natural resources. Resource management and related traditional ecological knowledge based on understanding of the functioning of the ecosystem help local communities to maintain important resources, like forests. Forest plays an important socio-economic role in the life of rural communities. Wood is one of the most elemental raw materials used in households, but its non-timber benefits play just as important a role.

We examined sustainable use of forests in a Csángó community in Gyimes region (Eastern Carpathians, Romania), providing insights into attitudes within folk forestry towards natural resources, driving forces, and changes in human relations with the forest.

Wood as a raw material is a resource that largely determines the daily life of the Csángó community, while non-timber products (e.g., forest grazing, forest fruits, herbs) play a complementary, yet important role in Gyimes life. The survey of forest flora and vegetation confirms that Gyimes farmers are familiar with the plant species that reach significant coverage in the canopy, shrub and herbaceous layers, they are well versed in the forest types occurring in the landscape, their dynamics, their most characteristic stages in the succession after felling. Overuse is an undisputed and acknowledged part of the forest-management, threatens social-ecological system-flexibility. As long as natural systems are able to renew themselves (forests can regenerate), there is chance for the further use of this important resource and in a broader context there is chance for the survival of the local community as well.
Conflicts of Economic and Cultural Origin Between Farmers and Wild Animal Species in the Carpathian Basin — an Ethnozoological Approach
Authors: Babai Dániel , Ulicsni Viktor , Avar Ákos
Published: August 2017

The multi-faceted relationship of society and wildlife is partly shaped by local perception determined by cultural or economic factors and resulting in positive or negative attitudes. The approach taken may influence the survival and the range of species and speciesgroups, in particular species associated with extremely negative emotions.

Connections between local communities and wild vertebrate species were studied in four regions within the Carpathian Basin (Gömör/Gemer — Slovakia, Szilágyság/Sălaj — Romania, Gyimes/Ghimeş — Romania and Drávaszög/Baranja — Croatia). During the work, spontaneous manifestations obtained in semi-structured interviews aiming at the exploration of the locally known fauna were taken into account.

Reviewing the five generally known families of vertebrates it can be stated, that — similarly to the global trends — the perception of amphibian and reptile species is extremely negative in the Carpathian Basin just as well. Most positive attitudes are related to bird species but due to presumed or true economic reasons some birds also include less favoured species. As to mammals, large predators are seen as harmful pests for husbandry and fearful for humans. The antipathy felt for bat species is an interesting phenomenon, mostly explained by their special physical constitution and mysterious lifestyle.

The perception of local communities originating from cultural or economic factors and resulting in varying signs may have an impact on the size of the populations of certain species or species-groups. Ethnozoological research provides significant help to deeper knowledge about background of connections between local communities and species of wildlife, motivations behind the activities of society has become of paramount importance for development of conservation strategies.

Background and aims

There is a well-established association between pathological gambling and substance use disorders in adolescents. The aim of this study was to shed light on the association between adolescents’ different levels of involvement in gambling activities and substance use (smoking tobacco and cannabis and drinking alcoholic beverages), based on a large sample.

Methods

A survey was conducted in 2013 on 34,746 students attending 619 secondary schools, who formed a representative sample of the Italian 15- to 19-year-old population. The prevalence of different categories of gamblers was estimated by age group and gender. A multiple correspondence analysis (CA) was conducted to explain the multivariate associations between substance use and gambling.

Results

The prevalence of problem gambling was 2.7% among the 15- to 17-year-olds, and rose to 3.6% among the 18- and 19-year-olds. Multiple CA revealed that, even when it does not reach risk-related or problem levels, gambling is associated with the use of alcohol and tobacco. In particular, the analysis showed that non-problem gambling levels were associated with alcohol and tobacco use at least once in the previous month, and that higher-risk gambling levels related to the use of cannabis and episodes of drunkenness at least once in the previous month.

Conclusion

This study found that any gambling behavior, even below risk-related or problem levels, was associated with some degree of substance use by youths, and that adolescents’ levels of gambling lay along a continuum of the categories of substance use.

Published: August 2017

Fatty acids and carotenoid has been known as an anticancer agent on both preventing and treating cancer disease. This study was conducted to analyze the fatty acid profile, carotenoid and in vitro anticancer activity of 12 sea cucumber harvested from Karimunjawa and Lampung waters. The aim of the study was to determin the potency of sea cucumbers as raw material for nutraceutical products. Fatty acid profile and carotenoid content were characterized by gas chromatography and spectrophotometry techniques, while in vitro anticancer activity was assessed by MTT assay against cervix (HeLa), breast (T47D and MCF-7) and colon (WiDR) cancer cells. Results of the study showed polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) dominated the composition of fatty acids in the samples from both locations. Holothuria sp. was detected to contain the highest amount of carotenoid. Furthermore, the highest in vitro anticancer activity was detected also in the sample of Holothuria sp. The activity of 30 ppm Holothuria sp. extract against HeLa cell was detected to be almost equal to the 5 ppm doxorubicin control. Concentration of 5 ppm Holothuria sp. extract also showed positive result in killing 50% of MCF-7 and T47D, but capable to 100% kill HeLa and WiDR cells. At concentration of 25 ppm, the extract was able to kill all the 4 cells tested. Statistical analysis showed the amount of carotenoid and two particular fatty acid compounds (docosadienoic and eicosapentaenoic acid) significantly (P<0.05) contributed to the cytotoxic activity that was found in the sea cucumber samples. Those compounds were found in highest concentration from Holothuria sp harvested from Lampung waters, thus being the most prospective raw material for nutraceutical or functional food ingredient with anticancer potency.

Published: August 2017

This paper seeks to study the relationship between R&D, innovation results and business results in the food and beverage industry of Colombia. On the basis of the theoretical model of Gómez (2009), a binomial probit with selection and a multivariate probit model in two phases was estimated. The results show that R&D investment is significant to explain product innovation, but it´s not decisive for process innovation, in line with the tendencies of the sector. On the other hand, the joint probability of performing R&D and both types of technological innovation positively affects the probability of achieving sales of innovative products in the domestic market and the probability to export. However, the marginal probability of advancing process innovation has no significance on sales of novel products.Este trabajo busca estudiar la relación entre I+D, resultados de innovación y empresariales en el sector de alimentos y bebidas de Colombia. Sobre la base del modelo teórico de Gómez (2009), se estimó un probit binomial con selección y un probit multivariado en dos fases. Los resultados muestran que el gasto en I+D es significativo para explicar las innovaciones en producto, pero no es determinante para la innovación en proceso, en línea con las tendencias del sector. Por su parte, la probabilidad conjunta de realizar I+D y ambos tipos de innovación tecnológica incide positivamente sobre la probabilidad de lograr ventas de productos innovadores en el mercado nacional y la probabilidad de exportar (resultados empresariales). Sin embargo, la probabilidad marginal de adelantar innovación en procesos, no tiene significancia sobre las ventas de productos novedosos, lo cual no coincide con los preceptos teóricos estudiados al respecto.Este artigo procura estudar a relação entre P & D, resultados de inovação e resultados comerciais na indústria de alimentos e bebidas da Colômbia.

Os resultados mostram que o investimento em I & D é significativo para explicar a inovação de produtos, mas não é decisivo para a inovação de processos, de acordo com as tendências do setor. Por outro lado, a probabilidade conjunta de realizar R & D e os dois tipos de inovação tecnológica afetam positivamente a probabilidade de alcançar vendas de produtos inovadores no mercado interno e a probabilidade de exportar. No entanto, a probabilidade marginal de avançar a inovação do processo não tem significado nas vendas de produtos novos.

Agua del tiempo muerto: the recividism of the landscape and memory in José Ramón Mercado’s poetry/Agua del tiempo muerto: la reincidencia del paisaje y de la memoria en la poesía de José Ramón Mercado
Authors: Bolaño Sandoval Adalberto Antonio
Published: August 2017

En este artículo, producto de la  investigación sobre Identidad y  memoria en la poesía del Caribe colombiano, se analiza el poemario Agua del tiempo muerto de José Ramón Mercado, quien retoma varias de las temáticas de su primer poemario  No solo poemas en su primer y segundo apartado: la casa, el pueblo, la región, la memoria familiar. Uno de los objetivos de este texto es desarrollar la propuesta de que Mercado elabora una poesía de la experiencia que busca “vivencializar” el pasado. De igual manera, se plantea  que esta obra elabora  una poesía geocultural, una geopoética, mediante la conjunción de términos como imagen, tiempo y espacio. Para la propuesta, se aplicó una metodología hermenéutica y comparativa basada en autores como Fernando Aínsa, Thomeu Vidal y Martin Heidegger. Se concluye que esta poesía conjuga no solo la naturaleza sino lo ecológico y lo histórico mediante “imágenes-palabras” que representan un intento por trasmitir una cultura en la que se articula con la memoria, la identidad y la naturaleza.

ABSTRACT Objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of telephone-based support for the metabolic control of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus. Method: a pragmatic study was conducted in two groups, called G1 (n=36) and G2 (n=27), at a health unit from the countryside of São Paulo state. Patients in G1 group received telephone support over four months, through 16 telephone contacts with educational material; for the G2 group the educational material was mailed. Results: significant differences were found. The G1 group showed a reduction of the parameters of fasting glucose, as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure. In G2 group a modest reduction was noted in some parameters, with no significant difference. Conclusion: telephone support was effective to deliver patient education to the diabetic elderly, leading to the reduction of fasting blood glucose. This, combined with other strategies, can contribute to reduce glycated hemoglobin (NCT 01972412).

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate the association between socio-demographic and clinical factors and the functional capacity of older adults with leprosy. Method: cross-sectional analytical study conducted in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, with 77 older adult patients with leprosy in a referral service, through interview, medical records and application of the Katz Index and the Lawton and Brody Scale. Results: the mean age was 68.23 years, with prevalence of men, in stable union/married, with mean monthly family income of 2.04 minimum wages, positive bacillary index, clinical dimorphic form and grade zero disability. In the Lawton and Brody scale, independence (58.5%) was predominant and associated to the variables "living arrangement" and "educational attainment". Total independence (87.0%) was predominant in the Katz Index and statistically associated to the variable monthly family income. Conclusion: most of the participants were classified as independent in the instruments used. Furthermore, the instruments pointed to a greater number of associations with socio-demographic and clinical factors not related to leprosy.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the association between filial responsibility and the overload of the children when caring for their older parents. Method: Cross-sectional study with 100 caregiver children of older adults. Filial liability was assessed by the attitudes of the responsible child (scale of expectation and filial duty) and by care behaviors (assistance in activities of daily living, emotional and financial support, and keeping company). The overload was assessed by the Caregiver Burden Inventory. To assess the associations, the correlation coefficients of Pearson and Spearman, Kruskal-Wallis Test, and Mann-Whitney were employed. Variables that presented p-value<0.20 in the bivariate analysis were inserted in a multivariate linear regression model. Results: The factors associated with overload were: formal employment (p=0.002), feelings regarding family life (p<0.001), financial support (p=0.027), and assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) (p<0.001). Conclusion: Children who were more involved with the ADLs and provided financial support showed higher levels of overload.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the process of manufacturing and validation of an educational booklet for HIV/Aids prevention in older adults Methods: Methodological study developed in two phases - manufacturing of the booklet and validation of the educational material by judges. The manufacturing process involved a situational diagnosis with older adults, and its result indicated gaps in the knowledge with respect to HIV/Aids. The validation process was performed by nine judges, selected by convenience. It was considered an agreement index of at least 0.80, analyzed through the content validity index. Results: We opted for a dialogue between two older adults divided into three categories: myths and taboos; ignorance; and prevention and importance of diagnosis. The average of the items was 0.90. The suggestions made by the judges were observed and modified for the final version. Conclusion: The material had relevant content for the judges, in addition to being able to be used by health professionals in the education and clarification of issues on the subject.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of metamitron or metamitron plus benzyladenine as a post-bloom thinner on ‘Baronesa’ and ‘Fuji’ apples. Three experiments (rate, timing and BA combination) were conducted during two crop seasons, 2013/14 and 2014/15 at the experimental station located in Caçador, SC. Fruit set, fruit drop, yield per tree, fruit size and flowering return were assessed. The efficacy of metamitron was affected by time of application, and when applied at petal fall, promoted the proper adjustment of the production load of plants. Yield per plant reduces, whereas the allocation of fruits in categories of greater size increases proportionally to the increase in the metamitron concentration applied. However, there is excessive fruit drop with the use of high concentrations. The addition of BA to metamitron also promoted fruit drop; however, no difference was observed between single application of metamitron and BA addition. Metamitron shows great potential to be used as thinner for apples, since it reduces the number of fruits per tree.

ABSTRACT In this study, to increase the preservation of phenolic bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity in blueberry pulp, heat treatment associated with addition of xanthan gum was used. A commercial mixture of blueberries (Powerblue, Climax and Bluegen cultivars) was added with 0.08% (w/w) citric acid and subjected to heat treatment by direct heating until 90 °C in conventional open pan (OP) and by direct application of steam (AS); both with and without the addition of xanthan pruni (OPX and ASX), followed by pulping. Samples of only frozed fruits were considered as control. The five treatments remained under freezing and were evaluated until 90 days of storage for antioxidant activity, phenols, flavonoids and total monomeric anthocyanins. The results show that, with the exception of phenolics, heat treatment with direct steam application and xanthan addition favored bioactive compounds preservation during storage. These factors influenced positively on the anthocyanins stability during frozen storage for 90 days. The xanthan addition favored antioxidant activity preservation; preservation for antioxidant activity by ABTS and DPPH, in all heat treatments, was observed.

ABSTRACT The pear consumption in Brazil is significant and the country is dependent on the import of this fruit to meet the internal market. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vegetative growth of European pear trees grafted on quince with two application forms of nutrients. The study was conducted during the 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 harvests, in the experimental area of the Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina / UDESC, in Lages. The cultivars used were Rocha, Santa Maria and Abbé Fétel. The quinces were ‘Adams’ and ‘EMA’. The application forms of the nutrients were conventional and fertigation. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design and the arrangement of treatments was sub subdivided plots. The application form of nutrients and rootstocks of quince little influenced on the vegetative growth of the plants, being more influenced by the scion in the soil conditions of this study.

O Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU) foi o primeiro componente da Política Nacional de Atenção às Urgências implantado no país no começo dos anos 2000. O artigo analisou o processo de implantação da urgência pré-hospitalar móvel no Brasil. Os métodos incluíram análise documental, entrevistas com coordenadores estaduais de urgência e um painel de especialistas. Utilizou-se o referencial teórico da análise da conduta estratégica da Teoria da Estruturação de Giddens. Os resultados evidenciaram uma implantação do SAMU desigual entre estados e regiões, identificando seis padrões de implantação considerando-se a capacidade dos estados de expandir a cobertura populacional e de regionalizar. As dificuldades estruturais incluíram a fixação de médicos, centrais de regulação mal equipadas e escassez de ambulâncias. Norte e Nordeste foram as regiões mais atingidas. O SAMU está configurado como estratégia estruturante da rede de urgências, mas seu desempenho sofreu o impacto da pouca participação da atenção primária na rede de urgências e principalmente da falta de leitos hospitalares.

Published: August 2017

We examined the factors associated with the evaluation of health description vignettes and how Japanese people make decisions related to the eight health dimensions (mobility, emotions, pain, relationship with others, sleep and energy, vision, recognition/remembering abilities, and self-care). We investigated a dataset of 4,959 respondents (≥ 18 years) from the Japanese World Health Survey. Ordered probit models were used to identify factors associated with all health dimensions. On all dimensions, older people appraised extreme problems as less problematic than young people did. Compared with men, women reported greater severity in the case of extreme problems on three health dimensions: emotion, pain, and sleep/energy. The study also found negative effects of alcohol consumption in almost all dimensions. Doctors and other health care workers should be careful when assessing severity of health problems in older individuals; in this population, health problems may be more severe than reported.

Objetivou-se avaliar a tendência do consumo abusivo de álcool no Brasil entre 2006 e 2013 segundo características demográficas, socioeconômicas e regionais. Trata-se da análise de estudos transversais (VIGITEL - Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico) que avaliaram a população adulta (≥ 18 anos) brasileira residente nas capitais do país. A amostragem foi probabilística, realizada em dois estágios (linha telefônica e morador adulto). Considerou-se consumo abusivo de álcool a ingestão de ≥ 5 (homem) ou ≥ 4 (mulher) doses de álcool em uma única ocasião, ao menos uma vez nos 30 dias anteriores à entrevista. A análise de tendência foi obtida usando-se a regressão de Prais-Winsten. A prevalência de consumo abusivo de álcool foi de 15,6% em 2006 e 16,4% em 2013, com tendência estacionária para toda amostra (p = 0,334) e para ambos os sexos. A tendência foi crescente entre os idosos e aqueles com 30-39 anos em ambos os sexos e para as mulheres da Região Sudeste. Tendência estacionária foi observada entre os diferentes grupos de escolaridade. Não foram observadas tendências decrescentes no período avaliado.

Data are limited in Brazil on hepatitis B infection among homeless individuals, a marginalized population with high risk of sexually transmissible infections (STI), including hepatitis B. The aim of this study was to investigate hepatitis B epidemiology in homeless persons lodged in a public shelter in Goiânia, Central Brazil. From August 2014 to June 2015, 353 individuals were interviewed and tested for markers of HBV infection. Overall HBV prevalence was 21.8% (95%CI: 17,82-26,41), and 19,5% (95%CI: 15,75-24,0) showed a serological profile of previous HBV vaccination. Older individuals (> 50 years), blacks, and homosexuals or bisexuals showed increased exposure to HBV. The low frequency of individuals immunized against HBV, high social vulnerability, and risk behaviors emphasize the need for health services administrators to provide more opportunities for HBV vaccination in this target population.

Según los estudios recientes, los adolescentes españoles muestran una baja percepción del riesgo asociado al consumo de alcohol. El objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar los factores que favorecen esta baja percepción a partir de la opinión de un grupo de 32 profesionales/expertos en adolescencia, familia, escuela, medios de comunicación y políticas locales. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa, fundamentada en Grounded Theory, a partir de la información obtenida mediante 5 grupos de discusión guiados por entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se identificaron 12 factores o subcategorías agrupados en 4 categorías generales: riesgo a corto plazo, inmediatez y percepción de invulnerabilidad (categoría “pensamiento adolescente”); concepción benévola del alcohol, normalización del consumo y binomio alcohol-diversión (categoría “normas sociales”); consumo habitual en los padres, inconsistencia verbal-no verbal en el modelado parental, consumo sin riesgo en los medios, consumo con resultados positivos en los medios (categoría “modelos sociales”); excesivo contenido sanitario, riesgo a largo plazo (categoría “discurso preventivo”). Tras discutir los resultados en el contexto de la literatura científica actual, se realizan varias propuestas con el objetivo de aumentar la percepción del riesgo en los adolescentes: incidir con mayor fuerza en contenidos sobre los riesgos a corto plazo del alcohol; orientar las estrategias educativas dirigidas al adolescente, también hacia los agentes de socialización, especialmente los padres; incidir en políticas centradas en la sustancia y en reducir la oferta.

O objetivo foi avaliar a atenção oferecida por profissional de saúde aos idosos com hipertensão e as desigualdades, utilizando a escolaridade como indicador socioeconômico, no Brasil. Estudo transversal, com dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, em 2013. A atenção oferecida foi avaliada por meio dos indicadores: recomendações para alimentação saudável, manter o peso adequado, ingerir menos sal, praticar atividade física, não fumar, não ingerir bebida alcoólica em excesso, fazer acompanhamento regular e solicitação de exames de sangue e urina, eletrocardiograma e teste de esforço. As recomendações para ingerir menos sal (91%), alimentação saudável (88%) e fazer acompanhamento regular (88%) foram mais prevalentes. Idosos com ensino superior completo apresentaram maiores prevalências de recomendações para manter uma alimentação saudável (RP = 1,12), manter o peso adequado (RP = 1,21), praticar atividade física (RP = 1,29), acompanhamento regular (RP = 1,11), solicitação do teste de esforço (RP = 2,26) e recebimento de todos indicadores (RP = 2,14) em relação aos idosos sem instrução. A atenção oferecida por profissional de saúde está deficiente em todo o país. Além disso, as desigualdades ainda persistem. Tendo em vista o aumento da população idosa e das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, são necessários esforços para melhorar a qualidade da atenção e diminuir as desigualdades.
O legado de Cabanis: hipótese sobre raízes da educação médica no Brasil
Authors: Almeida-Filho Naomar
Published: August 2017

Georges Cabanis foi um reformador da prática clínica e do ensino médico que, na Revolução Francesa, lançou as bases conceituais do modelo de educação implantado na França no decorrer do século XIX. Tal modelo, por sua vez, marcou a organização dos sistemas educacionais de muitos países latino-americanos. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar e justificar uma hipótese: o modelo de educação médica ainda hoje hegemônico no Brasil ainda hoje se baseia na reforma cabasiana, mantendo uma perspectiva conceitual linear e cartesiana, com matriz curricular disciplinar, formatos tradicionais de prática pedagógica e submissão à lógica profissional corporativa. Para melhor compreensão do contexto social e político dos processos históricos geradores desse anacronismo, em primeiro lugar, apresento uma súmula da biografia e do conjunto pensamento-obra de Georges Cabanis, introduzindo-o como personagem central em seu contexto histórico. Em segundo lugar, destaco os principais elementos estruturais do modelo cabanisiano, com foco especial no ensino médico, tomando alguns dos seus textos autorais como fonte documental. Finalmente, em breves traços, apresento o projeto de reforma do ensino médico elaborado por Cabanis e seus colaboradores como subsídio para avaliação preliminar da hipótese proposta.
O papel do coordenador pedagógico nas escolas públicas paulistanas: entre as questões pedagógicas e o gerencialismo
Authors: Bello Isabel Melero , Penna Marieta Gouvêa de Oliveira
Published: August 2017

RESUMO Trata-se neste artigo do papel atribuído ao coordenador pedagógico nas escolas municipais paulistanas. O objetivo é identificar tendências na função desse profissional, tendo as Diretrizes Curriculares do Curso de Pedagogia (BRASIL, 2006) e a Política Nacional de Formação de Professores (BRASIL, 2009) como principais marcos regulatórios. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, foi feito levantamento de editais de concurso de ingresso e acesso para o cargo de coordenador pedagógico publicados entre 2006 e 2015, a fim de mapear as principais atribuições a ele designadas. Recorreu-se, também, à entrevista semiestruturada com coordenadoras da rede, com o intuito de compreender o que pensam e como realizam suas atribuições. Nas análises, são mobilizados os conceitos de gerencialismo e performatividade (BALL, 2002, 2005) referidos à utilização calculada de técnicas e artefatos para organizar as relações entre os seres humanos a partir de novos valores e sistema ético, baseados na competição, eficiência, produtividade e cumprimento de metas, exigidos pela reconfiguração do capitalismo. Nas entrevistas e nos editais, foi possível evidenciar que tais valores estão presentes em suas atribuições, mas variam em intensidade e controle com as mudanças de governo municipal a cada quatro anos. Destacou-se, por fim, a centralidade da ação do coordenador pedagógico na articulação das relações internas e externas à escola e como indutora das políticas estabelecidas no período analisado, tanto nos editais quanto nas falas das entrevistadas.
Autorregulação da aprendizagem em contexto escolar: uma abordagem baseada em Ateliês Biográficos de Projetos
Authors: Basso Fabiane Puntel , Abrahão Maria Helena Menna Barreto
Published: August 2017

RESUMO Este artigo teve o objetivo de compreender, por meio das narrativas autobiográficas, como os sujeitos percebem-se e constituem-se como agentes da própria formação no cotidiano de experiências escolares, através do processo da aprendizagem autorregulada. A pesquisa foi realizada em duas escolas da Rede Estadual de Ensino Fundamental, localizadas no município de Porto Alegre-RS. Participaram desse estudo 30 alunos do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental. A abordagem metodológica foi baseada nos ateliês biográficos de projetos. Foram organizadas sete sessões em grupos de 5 a 10 alunos, com duração de 45 minutos cada uma. Todas as etapas foram realizadas no ambiente escolar. A análise dos resultados foi realizada por meio de um ângulo diferenciado e inovador, inspirado na compreensão cênica. Os resultados evidenciaram três cenas que revelaram as relações dos múltiplos sujeitos envolvidos, a compreensão de si por meio da escuta do outro e as cenas esquecidas ou reprimidas. As etapas vivenciadas nos ateliês ajudaram os alunos participantes a compreenderem como eles se constroem enquanto alunos e como se auto-organizam para regular suas aprendizagens, para superar obstáculos e para se adaptarem ao mundo escolar. Concluiu-se que a abordagem inspirada nos ateliês biográficos de projetos pode auxiliar na reflexão dos processos de autorregulação da aprendizagem, inserindo-se adequadamente numa dinâmica evolutiva do percurso educativo.

Abstract This paper aims to analyse changes in the retail pharmaceutical market following policy changes in the Farmácia Popular Program (FP), a medicines subsidy program in Brazil. The retrospective longitudinal analyses focus on therapeutic class of agents acting on the renin-angiotensin system. Data obtained from QuintilesIMS (formerly IMS Health) included private retail pharmacy sales volume (pharmaceutical units) and sales values from 2002 to 2013. Analyses evaluated changes in market share following key FP policy changes. The therapeutic class was selected due to its relevance to hypertension treatment. Market share was analysed by therapeutic sub-classes and by individual company. Losartan as a single product accounted for the highest market share among angiotensin II antagonists. National companies had higher sales volume during the study period, while multinational companies had higher sales value. Changes in pharmaceutical market share coincided with the inclusion of specific products in the list of medicines covered by FP and with increases in or exemption from patient copayment.

Resumo Este artigo apresenta a aplicação de um protocolo de indicadores para a avaliação da capacidade de gestão do Componente Especializado da Assistência Farmacêutica (CEAF) em um estado do Sul do Brasil. A escolha do referencial teórico de capacidade de governo de Carlos Matus, refletido no conceito de capacidade de gestão e de gestão da assistência farmacêutica, tem por base a necessidade de superar a fragmentação e a redução tecnicista imposta à área. A aplicação do protocolo envolveu a coleta de dados em 74 unidades (municipais ou estaduais). Os resultados das análises indicam que a capacidade de gestão necessita de avanços nas três dimensões avaliadas, principalmente em relação aos aspectos que visam à sustentabilidade da gestão. O modelo e o protocolo utilizados trazem avanços para a gestão da assistência farmacêutica ao propor uma mudança do foco técnico-logístico, para as ações de natureza estratégica e política, ou que fomentem maior participação e autonomia. De posse dos resultados poder-se-á desenvolver estratégias para a qualificação do acesso a medicamentos no SUS, no sentido de que o CEAF se torne capaz de garantir a integralidade dos tratamentos medicamentosos.
