Conversational Narratives at Quixote House: How Released Offenders and Religious Members Build Community and Find a New Identity in Winnipeg
Authors: Soto Parra, S.J. Eduardo E.
Published: October 2017

One of the most worrisome situations in current societies is the failure of their correctional system. Even though jails and imprisonment institutions, at least in developed countries, do not have the shameful conditions which characterized them in the past, the high rate of recidivism shows that the correctional function that morally justifies their existence, with its big budget, has not been successful. Individuals that enter into the correctional system barely escape from it during life. However, there is a house in Winnipeg that is making a difference. This essay is about this house, Quixote House, named after Don Miguel de Cervantes’ novel hero, and my engagement to build community in it through conversational narratives. Also this essay shows how conversational narrative plays a role in healing trauma and building a community through which released offenders can find a new identity. For this purpose, it is necessary to set first a theoretical context, addressing the situation of recidivism and parole releases and the efforts to reinsert former offenders into society, which entail many challenges such as clean and affordable housing. Then, there is an explanation of how storytelling addressing trauma and community building, the importance of emotions in this kind of narrative, and the possibility of storytelling in ordinary life, especially in finding personal identity. Following Lonergan’s approach, there is a description about Quixote House and my engagement as priest but also as a another member of the community in which parolees can find a new identity.
Educating Men-and-Women-for-Others: Jesuit and International Educational Identity Formation in Conversation
Authors: Hrynkow Christopher
Published: October 2017

In a globalising world that often appears overrun by corporate and consumerist values, international education can be tempted to follow suit and support elitist transnational learning. Such an outcome may emerge intentionally or through an unreflective embrace of an unjust status quo. It follows that students and alumni of international education institutions may have little concern for more broadly communitarian values such as social justice, solidarity, and active care for those on the margins of local and global societies. However, for those craving alternatives that counteract segmented interests, this article demonstrates one such alternative. It maps how ‘men-and-women-for-others,’ a concept with worldwide traction in Jesuit education, can both inform and learn from international education concepts and practices. Further, this article employs the case of two remarkable Jesuit nativity schools to ground that dialogical process of meaning making, as men-and-women-for-others interacts with the International Education Studies literature in a mutually enhancing manner. The results will be of interest to those committed to fostering social justice, solidarity-based action, and a glocal ethic of care amongst the students and alumni of both Jesuit and international educational institutions.
Drinking Water to Prevent Postvaccination Presyncope in Adolescents: A Randomized Trial
Authors: Kemper Alex R. , Barnett Elizabeth D. , Walter Emmanuel B. , Hornik Christoph , Pierre-Joseph Natalie , Broder Karen R. , Silverstein Michael , Harrington Theresa
Published: October 2017

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Postvaccination syncope can cause injury. Drinking water prephlebotomy increases peripheral vascular tone, decreasing risk of blood-donation presyncope and syncope. This study evaluated whether drinking water prevaccination reduces postvaccination presyncope, a potential syncope precursor.

METHODS:

We conducted a randomized trial of subjects aged 11 to 21 years receiving ≥1 intramuscular vaccine in primary care clinics. Intervention subjects were encouraged to drink 500 mL of water, with vaccination recommended 10 to 60 minutes later. Control subjects received usual care. Presyncope symptoms were assessed with a 12-item survey during the 20-minutes postvaccination. Symptoms were classified with a primary cutoff sensitive for presyncope, and a secondary, more restrictive cutoff requiring greater symptoms. Results were adjusted for clustering by recruitment center.

RESULTS:

There were 906 subjects randomly assigned to the control group and 901 subjects randomly assigned to the intervention group. None had syncope. Presyncope occurred in 36.2% of subjects by using the primary definition, and in 8.0% of subjects by using the restrictive definition. There were no significant differences in presyncope by intervention group for the primary (1-sided test, P = .24) or restrictive outcome (1-sided test, P = .17). Among intervention subjects vaccinated within 10 to 60 minutes after drinking all 500 mL of water (n = 519), no reduction in presyncope was observed for the primary or restrictive outcome (1-sided tests, P = .13, P = .17). In multivariable regression analysis, presyncope was associated with younger age, history of passing out or nearly passing out after a shot or blood draw, prevaccination anxiety, receiving >1 injected vaccine, and greater postvaccination pain.

CONCLUSIONS:

Drinking water before vaccination did not prevent postvaccination presyncope. Predictors of postvaccination presyncope suggest opportunities for presyncope and syncope prevention interventions.
Glükózterhelés a peritonealis dialízisben. Újabb elméleti megfontolások
Authors: Mácsai Emília , Kiss István
Published: October 2017

Abstract:

The significance of peritoneal dialysis in kidney replacement therapy is expected to increase, so it is important to reconsider glucose exposure to minimize the adverse effects. The first step was to develop biocompatible modern PD solutions to reduce the local and systemic adverse effects of current conventional glucose-based ones. According to the limited clinical experience, there are no clear data on better clinical outcome. Besides this there is a suspected theoretical correlation between development of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis and chronic local irritation of peritoneal surface by glucose. The degree of actual systemic glycemic load can be evaluated by continuous tissue glucose monitoring, and cumulative damage can be measured by skin autofluorescence, however none of the methods have been extensively used in clinical practice. The early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases is therefore of also paramount importance. Selecting the therapeutic steps including diabetological aspects, we must constantly strive to improve the life quality. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(43): 1708–1714.

Abstract:

Introduction: Depression is one of the most widespread illnesses of our time, currently affecting more than 300 million people worldwide. Literature identifies several socio-demographic risk factors in the development of the depression. Aim: We aim to examine the socio-demographic factors involved in the remission of clinically diagnosed unipolar major depression. Method: Data collection was performed during 2016, at the 1st Psychiatric Clinic from Tirgu Mures. Participants were patients reporting no other physical or psychiatric disorder. Self-reporting questionnaire assessed socio-demographic factors, such as gender, age, neighborhood, education, marital status, employment, and unemployed period. DSM-5 criteria were used in diagnosis, and the severity and status tracking was assessed with the 17-item version of the Hamilton Depression Scale. The age distribution of the sample was between 18–65 years of age, 44 male (28.9%) and 108 female (71.1%), 66 inpatients and 86 outpatients. Patients received medication for 12 weeks, and were involved in HAM-D 17 testing when hospitalized, at 8 and 12 weeks. Results: Scores of depression decreased significantly after 8 and 12 weeks of the treatment. Gender, age, and neighborhood did not influence the treatment, but patients with high education manifested less depressive symptoms at the end of treatment. Among married patients depression score was lower than among unmarried, and employees showed lower depression scores comparing to long-term unemployed patients. Conclusion: Marital status and employment were relevant predictors of remission, proving a significant effect on the treatment outcomes. Thus, psychotherapeutic intervention is recommendable in the case of single and unemployed patients. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(43): 1715–1722.

Abstract:

Cardiovascular and oncologic diseases are the causes of more than 50 percent of mortality in Europe. In 2015 oncologic and cardiovascular mortality reached 70 percent in Hungary. Patients who receive anticancer therapies are at a 2- to 7-fold greater long-term risk of acute coronary syndrome; also concomittant oncologic diseases further increase the mortality of myocardial infarction. Unfortunately there is not enough data concerning cardiovascular treatment of oncologic patients because they were excluded from most of the studies and registries. Because there is no clear protocol to treat such patients, only small studies and personal experiences could guide our medical therapies. The role of cardio-oncology is even more important, because due to the new treatments the number of tumor survivors rapidly increases. In the US more than 20 millions survivals are expected by 2025 who were treated by any kind of malignant tumors. It is not surprising that in 2014 the American Society of Cardiology declared cardio-oncology as a special and important field in cardiology, and in 2016 European Society of Cardiology released the first cardio-oncologic guideline. In this review we summarize questions and problems concerning the treatment of oncologic patient with ischaemic heart disease based on resent guidelines, published studies and local protocols.

Medical Careers: an online game to study online gaming and process addictions
Authors: Topps David , Topps Sarah , Lee Sonya , Topps Maureen
Published: October 2017

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. As part of an e-learning project for medical students, designed to highlight some problems and approaches around addictions, we created some virtual patients to accompany an online primer. For the section on process addictions, we created an online game, modeled on the classic board game 'Careers'. In this article, we describe how we used the OpenLabyrinth educational research platform to create a virtual scenario that could be played by 1-4 students, using a web browser. The internal activity metrics generated by OpenLabyrinth afford a very detailed look at what learners do within the game and how the game performs. We note some frustrations at engaging project reviewers and some mismatched expectations about e-learning resource usage. The e-learning resources are available for wider use and we encourage groups who might be interested in simple gamification approaches and learning analytics to explore these resources.
School Social Worker Practice Decisions: The Impact of Professional Models, Training, and School Context
Authors: Phillippo Kate L. , Kelly Michael S. , Shayman Emily , Frey Andy
Published: October 2017

School social work practice decisions have been the focus of local and national surveys for several decades, most recently in 2014. The need to better understand these findings, particularly school social workers' practice decisions that appear counter to what the field's evidence base indicates is sound practice, led to the current qualitative study. Our inquiry focused on developing a deeper understanding of the impact of professional models (particularly the multitiered systems of support), training, and school context on practice. Data from 16 focus groups (N = 60) revealed that practitioners struggled with contextual constraints upon their work and encountered limited learning opportunities and support, to the extent that they could not consistently implement contemporary practice models. Implications for school social work policy, training, and practice are considered.
Transition of Växjö and Sønderborg towards becoming fossil-fuel-free communities
Authors: Dyer Mark , Ögmundardóttir Helga
Published: October 2017

The findings are reported of ethnographic field studies carried out in two Scandinavian cities, namely Sønderborg and Växjö. The field studies investigated actors, networks and motivations that enable the deployment of renewable and energy-efficiency technologies for transition towards a fossil-fuel-free future. The research shows a pattern of different ideas and methods that contributed towards a common vision for significant reduction in energy use and emission. In the case of Växjö, the common narrative was one of protecting and valuing the environment through making good use of local resources, particularly from forestry. However, the theme for Sønderborg was one of job creation and business opportunities brought about by the creation of ‘Project Zero’ in a formal alliance between private and public sector organisations. Even so, both cities were characterised by dynamic communication and networking backed by political consensus.
Collocated discrete subdomain meshless method for dam-break and dam-breaching modelling
Authors: Malidareh Babak Fazli , Hosseini Seyed Abbas
Published: October 2017

This paper introduces a ‘collocated discrete subdomain meshless method’ to solve shallow water equations for free-surface flows with conservation of sediment mass. The computational domain in the method is discretised by distributed nodal points. Shape functions are made using the moving least-squares method for efficiency and simplicity. A number of collocation points, independent of nodal points, are used to form the specified residual function. The sum of residuals at the collocation points for each subdomain is zero in the problem domain and boundaries. In addition, boundary conditions are readily enforced. The model was verified by comparing results of simulated and physically modelled dam-break flows. There was good agreement between the analytical solution and experimental measured data, and a high convergence rate and efficiency were achieved. The method appears to have significant potential for investigating a variety of problems concerning coupled flow with sediment transport.

Authors: Патрунина Ксения Андреевна
Published: October 2017

Государственно-частное партнерство и корпоративная социальная ответственность на пути достижения общей цели – общественного блага – могут способствовать государству в решении социальных проблем. Единого подхода к определению корпоративной социальной ответственности не существует, в связи с чем одни из векторов развития данного направления может стать государственно-частное партнерство. Под проекты государственно-частного партнерство возможно привлекать средства социальной ответственности компаний, тем самым образуя новые формы сотрудничества государства, общества и частного сектора, такие, как социальные инвестиции, облигации социального воздействия и государственно-общественно-частное партнерство. Консолидация ресурсов частного сектора и публичного в сферах общественного интереса с помощью такого инструмента, как государственно-частное партнерство, способствует гармонизации интересов и решению конкретных социальных проблем. При таком взаимодействии государство выполняет свои социальные функции в условиях бюджетного дефицита, бизнес проводит программу корпоративной социальной ответственности, несмотря на сокращенные средства и возможности, а общество получает ощутимые выгоды.

Paper will present aspects of the knowledge transfer offices (KTO) from the EU Knowledge Transfer Study report through the prism of the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship (KSTE). It will also add the argument, based on the existing literature that in fact, knowledge couldn’t be managed but only the information resources can. This paper contributes to the on-going research Secondary Experience which main aim is to explore avenues for designing an information system that will support better use of the existing scientific papers between universities and their environment, including public, private and civil sector. There is a limited number of the EU wide research on the EU universities Knowledge transfer offices but existing one is sending not very promising results. In the last EU, a report addressing KTO not even one hypothesis addressing KTO related policies is accepted, and one of the hardest parts in conducting research was to find the contacts of the KTO’s. It is aligned with results from the master thesis of one of the authors where sources of information were analysed in terms of the transparency of the projects and their funding related information among 466 universities in the Danube region. That alerted us and opened up a completely new set of questions. In this paper, we use secondary data as content for our research.
Impact of Illicit Financial Flow on Economic Growth and Development: Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Ogbonnaya Amah Kalu , Ogechuckwu Okezie Stella
Published: October 2017

This paper assessed the impact of illicit financial flow on economic growth and development in Nigeria. Data was sourced from the statistical bulletin of the Central bank of Nigeria and Global Financial Integrity estimates of illicit financial flows. Time series data from 1980-2015 was used. The variables were tested for unit root and co-integration and were found to have a long run relationship. The results further indicated that illicit financial flows had a significant impact both on economic growth and development. The study among others recommends that government of Nigeria and indeed other African countries must lobby developed nations to adopt control so that individuals who move funds out of Nigeria into tax havens and secrecy jurisdictions can be exposed. It was also recommended that African states and indeed Nigeria, in particular, must develop customs capacity in order to fight the massive outflows of capital through illicit practices.

Authors: Leviza Jelly , Devi T. Keizerina
Published: October 2017

Legal protection against a daily work is very urgent today given the increasing number of them. Governments have an obligation to ensure the protection of the rights of them. This study discusses two subjects. The first is the inventory of labour rights according to the constitution and rules of normative and the implementation for daily work. The second is the substance of the government’s policy to accommodate the protection of the rights of workers based on the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration Republic of Indonesia Number: Kep.100 / Men/VI/2004 about the Provisions in the Implementation of Given Time Employment Agreement. The purpose of this study was to determine the protection of the constitutional and normative rights for daily workers. Next to determine the legal policy of the Indonesian government in providing protection to daily workers through Ministerial Decree No. 100/2004. Normative methods used to analyze the legal norms applicable in Indonesia governing the protection of daily workers. Based on this method, the portion of the protection of the rights of workers will be known. The results of this research are that the rights of an employee still do not fulfil the rights of workers constitutively and normatively. Government policy in the protection of daily workers was still not enough to provide legal certainty, usefulness, and fairness for workers. The government’s policy regarding the rights of daily workers still needs to be improved in order to accommodate the rights of daily workers.

The present study was conducted to determine the clinco-haematological effects of a well characterized Cryptosporidium parvum isolate in Swiss albino mice. Sixty female mice were divided into four groups. Group I mice served as healthy control. In group II, C. parvum oocysts were administered orally, mice of group III were given dexamethasone in drinking water whereas group IV mice were given dexamethasone along with C. parvum oocysts. Clinical signs were more severe in immunosuppressed infected mice and observed dullness, depression, inappetance, poor fur condition, progressive weakness, and decrease in body weight. In addition, mice in group IV showed profuse diarrhoea. An overall mortality rate of 7% and 20% was seen in group III and IV animals, respectively. Animals of group IV had significantly lower average body weight as compared to other groups around the time of peak infection with C. parvum which was recorded to be around 10th DPI. Based on severity of clinical disease and oocyst shedding intensity significant leukocytosis along with neutrophilia and lymphocytopenia was observed in group IV mice at 10th DPI as compared to mice in other groups. It was concluded that experimental infection with C. parvum in mice caused a severe clinical disease which peaked around 10th day and was seen to subsequently resolve around 15 DPI.

Authors: Olatunji Samson Olusola
Published: October 2017

This survey was carried out to find statistically valid picture of English Language teachers’ attitudes to the teaching of reading comprehension to large ESL classes in Ibadan metropolis of southwestern Nigeria. The pedagogic practices of the teachers in such a challenging but potentially rewarding situation were also investigated. The far-reaching importance of reading comprehension to the overall success or otherwise of students against their perpetual failure in major examinations justify the study. A total of ninety-eight teachers got through a multi-stage sampling procedure responded to a fourteen-item self-constructed and validate questionnaire. The findings of the data analysis reveal that most of the teachers consider any class of thirty-one students and above is large, the teachers are ill-disposed to large classes, and they do not bother to employ any unusual strategy to make teaching reading comprehension both interesting and highly rewarding to either teacher or students.

Com base neste fato e tomando-se as ideias centrais dos intelectuais que através da Geografia Urbana e da Geografia Histórica entendem o espaço, se busca a compreensão da cidade de Curitiba durante o século XX, verificando como a abordagem técnico-científica agiu na regulação do crescimento e na modernização, demonstrando como a ciência nos ajuda na compreensão da cidade, neste caso dando especial destaque a uma cidade brasileira e sua realidade de país emergente.
Attilio Corrêa Lima e o planejamento de Goiânia – um marco moderno na conquista do sertão brasileiro
Authors: Vieira Patrick di Almeida
Published: October 2017

O presente texto busca analisar a atuação do arquiteto Attilio Corrêa Lima no planejamento da cidade de Goiânia inclusive a ruptura dos trabalhos na condução do mesmo e as modificações sofridas pelo seu projeto inicial, levantando para tal fim um breve histórico de sua formação e atuação profissional, apontando suas principais experiências e explicitando seus referenciais teóricos. O plano para Goiânia pode ser considerado um marco na conquista do sertão brasileiro, bem como um marco da arquitetura moderna brasileira e é aqui analisado do ponto de vista da mudança de algumas concepções urbanísticas na transição da condução dos trabalhos de Attilio Corrêa Lima para Armando Augusto de Godoy.
O bairro e o plano de conjunto pelo urbanista Luiz Arthur Ubatuba de Faria
Authors: Miranda Adriana Eckert
Published: October 2017

A trajetória profissional do Engenheiro Luiz Arthur Ubatuba de Faria (1908-1954) possui uma abordagem ampla, se mesclando com a história do urbanismo de Porto Alegre e com o estudo e pesquisa da cidade como campo do saber. No presente artigo, trataremos sobre as idéias desse urbanista em seus primeiros planos, elaborados na década de 30, período de intenso crescimento de Porto Alegre. Estes trabalhos corresponderam a dois níveis de plano: o primeiro, um plano de extensão para um bairro industrial e operário; o segundo, um plano de conjunto para a cidade intitulado Contribuição ao estudo da urbanização de Porto Alegrede 1938 em co-autoria com seu colega Edvaldo Pereira Paiva.
O saber médico e a utopia da cidade higiênica no contexto luso-brasileiro (1750-1800)
Authors: Abreu Jean Luiz Neves de
Published: October 2017

A partir de tratados e memórias de medicina, esse artigo busca compreender o olhar médico produzido sobre as cidades entre metade do século XVIII e início do XIX. Procura-se discutir as relações entre os fundamentos científicos da medicina e a constituição de um discurso de cunho higiênico produzido sobre o espaço urbano, bem como os sentidos que o saber médico relativo essa questão assumiu no contexto luso-brasileiro.

Nestor de Figueiredo e o urbanismo das cidades do “norte”
Authors: Trajano Filho Francisco Sales
Published: October 2017

O artigo atém-se a investigar as proposições no campo do urbanismo que o arquiteto Nestor Egydio de Figueiredo passa a elaborar a partir do trabalho de remodelação urbana para o Recife apresentado durante o IV Congresso Pan-Americano de Arquitetos, continuadas nas muitas iniciativas empreendidas por ele no decurso de seu périplo por vários estados nordestinos na década de 1930. A análise é focada, sobretudo, em torno do plano concebido para a cidade de João Pessoa, conduzido simultaneamente àquele para o Recife e o único dos projetos a se implantar de fato, para a surpresa do próprio urbanista. A intenção é mostrar como Figueiredo é ao mesmo tempo tributário e partícipe da cultura urbanística em formação no Brasil, atravessada por não poucas ideias e práticas do urbanismo internacional que por meios diversos aportava no país, adensando o debate acerca das cidades e seu futuro, tão candente nesse momento.
Urbanismo em Minas Gerais: ideários urbanísticos aplicados aos parques nacionais por Angelo A. Murgel (1932-1942)
Authors: Lima Fabio Jose Martins de
Published: October 2017

O estudo aborda a trajetoria do arquiteto Angelo Murgel, com particular atençao para os projetos elaborados para os parques nacionais, a saber, o Parque Nacional de Itatiaia, o Parque Nacional da Serra dos Orgaos e o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu. A atuação de Murgel foi dividida entre trabalhos acadêmicos, como professor, e vasta incursão no meio profissional, particularmente relacionada as incumbências do Ministerio da Agricultura, dentre as quais os Parques Nacionais mencionados. Pretendemos recuperar conceitos elaborados por este arquiteto nos planos para estes parques. Esta aproximação sobre o percurso de Murgel se insere em pesquisa com enfoque sobre a historia do urbanismo e do planejamento urbano em Minas Gerais.
Entre os pioneiros do urbanismo do Paraná

Published: October 2017

Este trabalho, que é parte de uma pesquisa abrangente em andamento, trata de analisar a produção de um grupo de profissionais responsáveis por projetos urbanos implantados no Paraná em meados do século XX. Para tanto foram consideradas sessenta e três cidades novas planejadas por dezoito companhias imobiliárias envolvendo o trabalho de vinte e um profissionais, entre engenheiros e agrimensores. A partir dos dados biográficos e do currículo escolar destes projetistas, este trabalho reconstrói a noção de urbanismo materializada nos traçados originais destas cidades e, com isso, acrescenta um capítulo à narrativa da circulação de ideias de planejamento pelo interior do país.

Para isso, foram pesquisadas fontes primárias localizadas principalmente nos arquivos do Estado de Minas Gerais e do município de Juiz de Fora.
O clarão que iluminou a cidade: as concessões bolonha e a derrocada da “era lemos” - modernização e disputas politicas na cidade de Belém do Pará
Authors: Coimbra Adriana Modesto
Published: October 2017

A cidade de Belém no Pará passou por ampla reforma urbana no período de 1890-1911. Dentre os sujeitos que participaram deste processo de modernização da cidade, estão o Intendente Antônio Lemos e o engenheiro Francisco Bolonha. Neste artigo apresento uma visão geral sobre esta modernização e analiso como as concessões feitas por Lemos ao engenheiro Bolonha, além de contribuir para a modernização da cidade, provocou tensões no seio da politica local, contribuindo para que ocorresse o fim da chamada “era lemos”. Pretendo, também, compreender sob que matrizes teóricas a urbanização da cidade de Belém se assentou e como os ideários do progresso, presentes no recém-proclamado Regime Republicano, foram recebidos e aplicados nesta urbanização.  Para esta análise foram utilizados sete volumes dos Relatórios de Intendência Municipal, publicados entre 1897 e 1908 e diversos artigos publicados nos jornais locais, O Estado do Pará, A Província do Pará, Folha do Norte e O Jornal.
Congresso pan-americano de arquitetos: ethos continental e herança europeia na formulação do campo do planejamento (1920-1960)
Authors: Atique Fernando
Published: October 2017

O debate acerca do pan-americanismo e das heranças europeias é tomado a partir da análise das dez primeiras edições do Congressos Pan-Americanos de Arquitetos, realizados entre 1920 e 1960, em diversas localidades das três Américas. Fóruns privilegiados de reunião dos profissionais americanos, a análise de suas atas, de reportagens de revistas e jornais, de documentos primários e de bibliografia, permite a construção de uma análise histórica acerca dos temas e dos ideários em formulação neste momento histórico. Como recorte temático, o artigo se debruça sobre a constituição do campo do Planejamento, mostrando como a partir de uma concepção ainda beauxartiana de intervenção urbana, nas primeiras edições, ao longo da década de 1920, se chega aos anos 1960 com uma clara definição do planejamento como atitude profissional principal dos arquitetos.
A cidade e o urbano: experiências, sensibilidades, projetos
Authors: Bresciani Maria Stella Martins
Published: October 2017

Denúncias e investigações relativas às más condições das habitações da população operária no século XIX estabelecem o tripé pobreza-doenças-perigo social como um dos eixos das intervenções nas cidades. Iniciativas sanitárias em equipamentos coletivos urbanos correm em paralelo a projetos modelares de “moradias mínimas” embora em franco contraste com o efetivamente edificado, sugestivamente denominado “casernas”. Nas décadas inicias do século XX, a preocupação com induzir famílias a novos hábitos pelo agenciamento do espaço modelar desloca-se significativamente para a casa mínima redefinida em resposta às “profundas mudanças da estrutura social”. Novos modos de vida e a coesão familiar desfeita exigem nova concepção de moradia aliada a de mobilidade urbana e dão lugar a padronização industrial e a tipologias padrão com pretensão a universalidade.
A cidade industrial brasileira e a política habitacional na era vargas (1930-1954)
Authors: Botas Nilce Cristina Aravecchia , Koury Ana Paula
Published: October 2017

A relação entre habitação e cidade é um dos temas mais caros à literatura que se dedicou à crítica do planejamento urbano como instrumento tecnocrático do Estado autoritário no Brasil. Originada entre as décadas de setenta e oitenta, seus autores estruturaram uma nova agenda, participativa para a política urbana brasileira e atuaram como importantes agentes de mobilização social no processo de redemocratização na década de 1980. As mais importantes conquistas recentes da política urbana brasileira são, de certo modo,tributárias desta agenda.Este trabalho pretende realizar um balanço do tema à luz do estudo da produção habitacional na era Varguista e de sua contribuição no processo de urbanização brasileiro, reconhecendo os avanços do debate nas últimas décadas bem como as “pistas falsas” deixadas por ele.
Tensões sociais e produção de sentidos: a cidade de Picos e a habitação do Bairro Paroquial pelos pobres durante a década de 1970
Authors: Moura José Elierson de Sousa , Nascimento Francisco de Assis de Sousa
Published: October 2017

Este trabalho procura discutir historicamente o processo de criação de diferentes espaços e discursos normatizadores na cidade de Picos, localizada no Estado do Piauí, durante a década de 1970, com especial atenção para a formação e habitação do Bairro Paroquial. Em Picos, desde o início da década de 70, do século passado, empreendeu-se a atuação da Igreja católica, de representantes políticos locais e de alguns civis, para a criação de espaços para os mendicantes e outros pobres, que consequentemente circulavam e moravam próximos ao centro da urbe. Assim, os projetos do Governo brasileiro, em nível federal, entraram em concomitância com procedimentos locais. O trabalho tentará problematizar de que formas as práticas discursivas cooptaram os mendicantes e os pobres, para que a reorganização do espaço urbano, com o Bairro Paroquial, fosse realizada.
