Improving the Management of Innovation Risks - R&D Risk Assessment for Large Technology Projects
Authors: Dillerup Ralf , Kappler Daniela , Oster Fiona
Published: February 2018

Global network structures of products and services are important value creators for many companies. Complex business models include a variety of relationships and interrelationships within and across different systems particularly in the case of innovation processes. This increases innovation risks. Risk management is becoming more and more important and is crucial for the German Machinery and Plant Engineering Industry (MPEI). Many companies are medium-sized and are using standard static risk management methods. Use of these methods often means that critical situations are detected late, they do not help in the understanding of problem characteristics and their interdependencies and, consequently, lead to erroneous decisions.Therefore, the modelling of cause-and-effect structures of innovation risks in the German MPEI facilitates the exploration and understanding of the behavioral dynamic of risk clusters. In a comparison of standard risk assessment with the Causal Loop Diagram and the System Dynamics Model of Innovation Risks, the potential of System Dynamics for systemic and multi-dimensional risk management is demonstrated. In this paper, particular emphasis is given to the risk of shortages of skilled workers from a common and System Dynamics perspective. This is relevant as these shortages are the main risk associated with innovation, impacting on project timings, output and performance amongst others. The research concludes that the development of specific System Dynamic models can help to overcome certain problems and incorporate multi-causal interconnections and multidimensional views on risk.

Published: February 2018

AIM & BACKGROUND: Diabetes is one of the most prevalent and costly chronic diseases that imposes many limitations on the activities of the patient. Stress reduction treatment based on mindfulness is an intervention which is used in mind-body medicine in order to reduce mental and physical disorders in patients with chronic diseases. So, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of stress reduction treatment based on mindfulness on emotion regulation problems and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.METHODS & MATERIALS: The paper is an experimental study based on control and treatment groups with pre-test and post-test. 34 male and female patients with type 2 diabetes having at least high education, from Molasadra Clinic of Isfahan, were selected and were placed randomly in two groups of control (N=17) and treatment(N=17). Pre-test stage was done for both two groups by cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ) and also by means of Glucometer to measure glycemic of patients. The treatment group for 8 sessions of 2 hours (once a week) was placed under the training of mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention. Afterwards, the post-test was done for both groups. The obtained data using SPSS software version 20 and multivariate analysis of covariance were analyzed.FINDINGS: The findings showed that MBSR had effect on emotion regulation problems, and glycemic control of patients with type 2 diabetes.CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of results, MBSR can have positive impact on emotion regulation problems, and glycemic control of patients.
Corporate Governance in Bangladesh: Evidence of Compliance
Authors: Ferdous Chowdhury Saima
Published: February 2018

This study investigates companies’ level of compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance for Bangladesh. Using a quantitative approach, it aims to understand the extent a regulatory provision can enhance the governance scenario of a company. It employed a survey methodology, with a questionnaire being sent to all 229 companies listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange. The results of the multivariate analysis suggest that age, size, industry and type of company have a statistically positive correlation with the level of compliance with the Code provisions. The findings of the study indicate that listed companies are, on average, moderately compliant with the Code, and compliance is comparatively higher with the Code provisions that coincide with other regulatory provisions. The major theoretical contribution of this study is with its empirical evidence of the code compliance literature from a developing country perspective. Moreover the findings can be used as a guide to help develop policies for better implementation of good governance standards; the identification of areas of non-compliance are expected to help code formulators, regulators and also companies to understand why and where companies are falling behind in compliance with the Code.
Exercise in French Physical Education Teaching Since 1945. A Civilising Intellectualisation as the Consequence of Sport and School Standardisation
Authors: RENAUD Jean-Nicolas , Vivier Christian , LAFFAGE-COSNIER Sébastien
Published: February 2018

In France, since the Second World War, physical and sports education (PSE) methods have seen considerable renewal. However; the word “exercise” has remained in the professional vocabulary. This permanence inevitably raises questions about the conditions under which the term is used. The mutations undergone by this basic unit of the student's physical activity reflect the profound changes that have occurred in the discipline. Desiring to give greater coherence to their teaching and thus work towards greater school legitimacy, French PSE teachers have progressively developed a more and more complex argument. This argument has permitted them to rationally link the body movements that have to be performed with the aims that can thus be achieved, in a dynamic which bears the imprint of the “civilising process”. This study is a historical analysis of a particular element in the teacher-student relationship: exercise. Hexagonal physical education, through its incorporation of norms, makes it possible to fully understand the educational concepts of the moment and their evolution throughout the second half of the 20th century. Although often neglected in university research, the notion of exercise nonetheless represents a remarkable indicator of a society’s educational approach.

The applications of e-learning resources to studies, teaching and learning by both staff and students have been investigated. However, the provision of e-learning tools for stake-holders is a modern goal to improving as well as achieving the quality of educational system in the twenty first century. Students’ demographic variables and the use of e-learning resources in selected private secondary schools in Rivers State as presented in this research has detailed expository facts. The impacts of age, gender, class level availability, accessibility, and human resources as independent variables in the use of e-learning resources were determined. Six research questions and hypotheses each were validated or invalidated depending upon the respondents results. Linear regression, t-test and multiple regression analyses were employed as statistical tools. It was discovered that there are immense influences of some demographic independent variables such as age, gender, availability, accessibility, and human resources in the use of e-learning resources in private secondary schools in Rivers State. Besides availability and accessibility were major contributors to the associated relationships in the use of e-learning resources. Equally needful are human resources and students' skills. There was contrast distinction between class level and other independent variables since it had no significant effect the uses of e-learning resources within the domain for Private schools in Rivers State

Design of Non-Uniformly Spaced Circular Arrays of Parasitic Dipoles for Lower Side Lobe Level with Maximum Directivity
Authors: Patidar H. , Mahanti G. K.
Published: February 2018

This paper presents a new approach for circular array of parasitic dipoles composed by one active dipole for reduction of side lobe level with maximum directivity including mutual coupling. The desired goal is obtained by changing the spacing between the parasitic elements and length of the parasitic elements while the position and length of driven element is fixed. In addition to it, reflection coefficient (RC) of the driven element is kept closer to the specified value. Matlab based method of moment code is used to evaluate the performance of circular antenna designs generated by QPSO algorithm. Two examples are presented to show the effectiveness of this proposed approach.
Discussões sobre as mudanças climáticas globais: os alarmistas, os céticos e os modelos de previsão do clima
Authors: De Moura Cruz Francisco Ronnieplex , Andrade da Silva Letícia , De Macêdo Pereira Elisiene , Luna Lucena Rebecca
Published: February 2018

Este ensaio traz à tona questões intrigantes e dúvidas que permeiam as pesquisas voltadas às mudanças climáticas globais, enfatizando as discordâncias existentes entre as distintas correntes de cientistas e os prognósticos elaborados pelos modelos de previsão do clima. Para tanto, tomou-se por base as teorias propagadas por alarmistas e céticos, bem como o prognóstico do Painel Intergovernamental sobre as Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC) de 2007. O ensaio se baseou na análise de livros, relatórios técnicos e artigos científicos, além da interpretação dos gráficos contidos nos mesmos. Os resultados mostraram que sempre houve variação na temperatura da atmosfera, mesmo antes do surgimento do homem e em níveis bem mais elevados do que os atuais. Contudo, alarmistas e céticos concordam que a Terra passou por um aquecimento de cerca de 0,6ºC no século XX, havendo divergência no que diz respeito às causas desse aquecimento, suas consequências, e se ele ainda está ocorrendo. Entretanto, um aspecto que põe em xeque a confiabilidade de ambas as correntes diz respeito ao problema da previsão, pois são muitos os fatores e elementos envolvidos na complexidade do sistema climático, tornando, assim, previsões climáticas exatas praticamente impossíveis, e deixando o debate, até o momento, no campo das suposições.

Abstract

DISCUSSIONS ABOUT GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGES: THE ALARMISTS, THE SKEPTICS AND CLIMATE FORECAST MODELS

This paper aims to discuss difficult questions and doubts about researches regarding global climate change, showing discordances about what different scientific groups and the forecasts elaborated by forecasting climate models. Therefore, we take for basis the theories formulated by the two scientific groups: the alarmists and skeptics, and the prognostic showed by the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC), 2007. This work was based in a research of books, technical documents and scientific papers, and the interpretation of graphs and data within these works. The results showed that oscillating temperatures always existed in the Earth’s atmosphere before human existence and the oscillation was larger than today. However, alarmists and skeptics believe that the earth atmosphere’s temperature elevated by approximated 0.6º C in the XX century, but there is a big divergence about the causes that rise and the consequences. Finally, an issue that questions the reliability of both groups, concerns the problem of forecast mainly because there are many factors and elements involved in the complexity of climate system thus making accurate climate predictions virtually impossible and leaving the debate so far, in the field of assumptions.
Repercussões ambientais no processo de apropriação social do espaço na Baía do Pontal no município de Ilhéus/BA
Authors: Da Silva Emilson Batista , Santos Lage Creuza
Published: February 2018

O presente estudo trata da temática da relação sociedade natureza, considerando as repercussões da apropriação do espaço no estuário da Baía do Pontal-Ilhéus/BA. O recorte temporal adotado foi da década de 70 do século XX até o ano de 2012. A abordagem da pesquisa foi qualitativa, adotando, quando necessário, técnicas quantitativas. Os instrumentos de coleta constituíram-se de observação sistemática e entrevistas, além de pesquisa documental e bibliográfica. As análises efetuadas permitiram constatar que as intervenções socioespaciais na Baía do Pontal originam-se da construção do Porto de Ilhéus na porção norte, da degradação ambiental crescente das bacias dos rios tributários (rios Cachoeira, Santana e Itacanoeira) e do processo de ocupação do entorno da Baía. Essas pressões causaram alterações na dinâmica de circulação do estuário, levando-o a um estado de progradação de praia, intensificação no processo de assoreamento da baía, propensão à formação de mangues e comprometimento da qualidade da água, devido ao lançamento de esgotos.

Abstract

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IN THE PROCESS OF SOCIAL OWNERSHIP OF SPACE IN THE BAY OF THE PONTAL IN MUNICIPALITY OF ILHÉUS / BA

This study is about the relationship between society and nature, considering the impact of the appropriation of space in the estuary of Pontal Bay -Ilhéus/BA. The time frame adopted begins with the 70s and extends until the year 2012. The research approach was qualitative, adopting quantitative techniques when necessary. The instruments of collection consisted of systematic observation and interview, plus documentary and bibliographic research. The analyzes showed evidence that the socio-spatial interventions in the Bay originate from the construction of the Port of Ilheus in the northern portion, from the growing, environmental degradation of river basins tributaries (rivers Cachoeira, Santana and Itacanoeira) and from the process of occupation surrounding the Bay. These pressures have caused changes in the dynamics of estuarine circulation, leading to a state of beach progradation, intensifying the process of silting up of the Bay, propension to formation of mangroves and impaired water quality due to discharge of sewage.

Paisagens degradadas do município de Palmelo (Goiás): o estudo das voçorocas via trabalho de campo
Authors: Carneiro Vandervilson Alves , Paulo Pedro Oliveira , Morais Lima Melo Eduardo
Published: February 2018

A presente contribuição apresenta algumas considerações sobre a dinâmica dos processos de degradação da paisagem do tipo voçorocas no Município de Palmelo, Estado de Goiás, localizado na Microrregião de Pires do Rio. Através de trabalho de campo, as voçorocas localizadas em áreas rurais do município e que apresentam comprometimento do lençol freático foram devidamente mapeadas e catalogadas. Infelizmente, nota-se que as voçorocas continuam em franca expansão, pois não há nenhuma medida ou projeto que vise à contenção, à interrupção ou à redução destas voçorocas por parte do poder público local. Adicionalmente, o descarte clandestino de lixo, entulho e refugos de origens diversas continuam sendo lançados nestas estruturas, comprometendo a saúde da população rural e a qualidade do lençol freático associado. Dessa forma, o estudo de caso detalhado e pormenorizado das voçorocas, bem como sua catalogação e identificação, propõem sugestões básicas úteis para contenção e a interrupção do descarte clandestino de entulho e lixo, acidentes, quedas e mortes, bem como dirimir este importante fator de degradação da paisagem.

Abstract

THE DEGRADED LANDSCAPES OF THE PALMELO MUNICIPALITY IN GOIAS STATE: THE STUDY OF THE GULLIES BY MEANS OF FIELDWORK

This work presents some considerations about the dynamics of degraded landscapes processes, like gullies, located in Palmelo, Goiás State, within Pires do Rio Microregion. Throughout a complete fieldwork, the gullies, in rural areas, that threat to underlying water table were mapped and cataloged. Unfortunately, one notices that gullies continually increase in size and number, mainly because there are no projects in order to restraint or reduce them promoted by local government. Besides, the illegal disposing of great amounts of waste still into the gullies, affects the quality of people’s life as well as the water table associated to them. Nevertheless, a very detailed case study of gullies, their cataloguing and identification, may help in the proposition of procedures to prevent and avoid illegal dumping of rubbish and waste, reduce the risks of accidents and eliminates these important factors of landscape degradation.
As questões identitárias e as especificidades culturais da Bahia expressas na literatura e na musicalidade: um olhar geográfico
Authors: Castro Janio Roque Barros de
Published: February 2018

No presente trabalho, pretende-se analisar de que forma algumas obras literárias do escritor Jorge Amado e algumas músicas do cantor e compositor Dorival Caymmi expressam, de distintas formas, os diferentes lugares da Bahia, com especial ênfase em Salvador, sua capital. As peculiaridades culturais, aspectos da cotidianidade, visões de mundo e jeito de ser de baianos e baianas inspiraram obras literárias e músicas que difundem, para além do âmbito do território baiano, os elementos dessa “baianidade” que pode ser lida, percebida e analisada sob olhares diversos em outros estados ou países. Objetiva-se discutir como algumas obras literárias e musicais importantes desses autores expressaram e ainda expressam os elementos da afro-baianidade e aspectos identitários do povo baiano. Constatou-se que, tanto nos textos literários, quanto na musicalidade dos autores em análise, os lugares e contextos paisagísticos se destacam a partir de espaços culturais e de edificações simbólicas, de elevada visibilidade, como o Pelourinho, o centro histórico de Salvador e a Igreja do Bomfim, um importante templo religioso e devocional da capital baiana.

Abstract

IDENTITY ISSUES AND BAHIA’S CULTURAL SPECIFICITY EXPRESSED THROUGH MUSIC AND LITERATURE: A GEOGRAPHIC VIEW

This work intends to examine how some Jorge Amado’s literary works and some music from the singer and songwriter Dorival Caymmi express in different ways, different places in Bahia, specially its capital, Salvador. Specific cultural aspects of everyday life, worldviews and the ways of people from Bahia, inspired literary works and songs that spread beyond the scope of the Bahia State, the elements of this “baianidade” which can be read, understood and analyzed in different ways in other states or countries. It aims to discuss how some important literary and musical works of these authors expressed and still express the african-bahia elements and some identity aspects of the people from Bahia. It was found that in both the literary texts and the musicality of the authors under review, the places and landscape stand out as cultural spaces and symbolic buildings of high visibility, such as Pelourinho, the historic center of Salvador, and the Church of Bomfim , an important religious and devotional temple of Salvador.

Este artigo foi construído a partir de uma pesquisa que estabeleceu uma intrínseca relação entre geografia e voto no estado do Tocantins. Seu objetivo principal consistiu em desenvolver uma análise sobre a distribuição espacial dos votos para o poder executivo estadual (governador) de 1988 a 2010, nesta unidade da federação, distribuídos em seus 139 municípios, a fim de identificarmos as territorialidades dos votos bem como os domínios eleitorais estaduais que se estabeleceram ao longo da vida política tocantinense. Para tanto, ao longo desta pesquisa, nos dedicamos a leituras bibliográficas pertinentes ao referido tema, e a coletar e cartografar os resultados dos pleitos eleitorais disponíveis no Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE) e no Tribunal Regional Eleitoral-Tocantins (TRE/TO). Como considerações, apontamos o uso e o controle do território exercido por meio do voto por distintos atores políticos regionais, a manutenção do poder político de uma elite política estabelecida desde a primeira eleição para governador (1988) e suas implicações sobre a geografia eleitoral tocantinense.

Abstract

THE ELECTORAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE STATE OF TOCANTINS:ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTIONS FOR GOVERNOR FROM 1988 TO 2010

This article was devised based on a survey that establishes an intrinsic relationship between geography and vote in the State of Tocantins. The main objective consisted in developing an analysis of the spatial distribution of the votes for the state executive (governor) from 1988 to 2010 in this state, distributed into its 139 municipal districts, so we can identify the territoriality of the votes as well as the state voting domains that were established during the political life in Tocantins. For such, during this survey, we spent time reading bibliographies related to the theme in question, and to collect and map the results of the election dispute available in the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) and Regional Electoral Court-Tocantins (TRE/TO). As considerations, we appointed the use and control of the territory exercised by means of the vote by distinct regional political players, maintenance of the political power over a political elite established since the first election for governor (1988) and its implications on the electoral geography of Tocantins

Published: February 2018

Este trabalho objetiva analisar o relatório final do Programa Nacional de Juventude e Meio Ambiente, à luz de aportes teóricos da Educação Ambiental, respondendo à questão: o Programa Nacional de Juventude e Meio Ambiente é capaz de conduzir a um pensamento crítico e à emancipação dos indivíduos, gerando a ruptura e a transformação da educação tradicional? Analisou-se a política, destacando-se trechos da mesma e discutindo-os. A partir das análises empreendidas, acredita-se que o Programa Nacional de Juventude e Meio Ambiente necessita aprofundar o debate sobre os saberes ambientais, ouvir as vozes das comunidades e considerar sua diversidade epistemológica, para romper as fronteiras do conhecimento e ultrapassar os limites do conhecimento disciplinar. Concluiu-se que, assim como se apresenta, o atual Programa não é capaz de conduzir a um pensamento crítico e à emancipação dos indivíduos.

Abstract

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE NATIONAL YOUTH PROGRAM AND ENVIRONMENT

This paper aims to analyze the final report of the National Programme for Youth and Environment, through the theoretical contributions of Environmental Education, answering the question: the National Programme for Youth and Environment can lead to critical thinking and emancipation of individuals, leading to rupture and transformation of the traditional education? We analyzed the policy highlighting sections and discussing it. From this analysis, we considered that the National Programme for Youth and Environment needs to deepen the debate about the environmental knowledge, hear the communitie’s voices and consider it epistemological diversity, for then to break the boundaries of knowledge and exceed the limits of disciplinary knowledge. We concluded that, as the program is now, it is not able to lead to critical thinking and emancipation of individuals.

Projetos de requalificação urbana em La Plaine Saint-Denis, Paris: a gentrification além do discurso da mixité social
Authors: Fioravanti Lívia Maschio
Published: February 2018

Analisamos de que modo os projetos de requalificação urbana na região de La Plaine Saint-Denis, no subúrbio norte da metrópole Paris, articulam-se às atuais estratégias políticas e econômicas globais de intervenção no espaço urbano e podem contribuir para intensificar a segregação socioespacial na escala do lugar. Essas estratégias contam com projetos com lógicas bem semelhantes em outras cidades mundiais e se legitimam por meio de discursos como os da mixité sociale, os quais, por sua vez, procuram ocultar os processos de gentrification que desencadeiam. A partir de levantamento bibliográfico, da realização de trabalhos de campo e da observação em reuniões de associações de moradores ou eventos organizados pelo poder público, procuramos elucidar as especificidades da elaboração e da execução dos projetos de requalificação urbana em La Plaine Saint-Denis, demonstrando que os grandes projetos de intervenção no espaço estão longe de amenizar as desigualdades socioespaciais.

Abstract

URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS IN LA PLAINE SAINT-DENIS, PARIS:GENTRIFICATION, BEYOND THE RHETORIC OF MIXITÉ SOCIALE

We examine the ways through which the urban renewal projects in the region of La Plaine Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of the metropolitan region of Paris, relate to the current global political and economic strategies of intervention in urban space and can enhance socio-spatial segregation in a place-based approach. The strategies base projects with very similar logics in other world cities and legitimize themselves through rhetoric as mixité sociale, which, in turn, try to hide the consequent processes of gentrification. Based on academic studies, fieldworks and observation of neighbourhood associations meetings and other events organized by government, we clarify the specific aspects of the development and implementation of urban renewal projects in La Plaine Saint-Denis, demonstrating that major intervention projects in space are far from mitigating socio-spatial inequalities.
Empreendedorismo urbano periférico e os ícones urbanos: a lógica da máquina de crescimento em Natal/RN
Authors: Silva Eugênio Ribeiro
Published: February 2018

O presente artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa sobre a produção do espaço urbano natalense com foco nos seus ícones urbanos, na perspectiva do que aqui se chama de empreendedorismo periférico. Partindo da abordagem clássica da cidade enquanto máquina de crescimento, é possível visualizar os rumos que a cidade tomou, nos últimos anos, com a construção de ícones concentrados nas áreas mais enobrecidas da cidade, ou seja, no eixo de investimento imobiliário. Evidenciou-se, portanto, que as escolhas das sucessivas gestões públicas estiveram ligadas antes à racionalidade econômica e às oportunidades momentâneas, do que ao processo de planejamento propriamente dito.

Abstract

PERIPHERAL URBAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND THE ICONIC BUILDINGS: THE LOGICAL OF THE GROWTH MACHINE IN NATAL/RN

This article is the result of a research on the urban space production of Natal with a focus on its urban icons, from the perspective of what here is called peripheral entrepreneurship. Starting from the classical approach of the city as a growth machine, it’s possible to see the direction that the city has taken in recent years, with the construction of iconic buildings in the most ennobled areas of the city, in other words, in the real estate investment axis. With the analysis of the strategic plans, it became clear that the successive public management choices were linked before to the economic rationality and momentary opportunities, instead to the planning process itself.
Apontamentos sobre a produção do espaço de conflito na luta pela cidade
Authors: Ribeiro Fabiana Valdoski
Published: February 2018

Este artigo visa compreender uma das contradições inerentes à crise urbana, a relação entre dominação e apropriação do espaço à luz das práticas dos movimentos sociais urbanos que produzem o espaço de conflito. Compreendemos este espaço como aquele onde a exigência de um encontro em torno de um conflito proporciona ações que vão desmistificando discursos e ações de sujeitos que buscam o domínio do espaço. O espaço de conflito é considerado como coletivo, espaço que nega o exercício da cidadania e da participação somente como discurso, revelando as reivindicações dos moradores. Assim, a hipótese se sustenta na ideia de que a resistência pode produzir o espaço de conflito. Por isso, a experiência de luta de moradores da Favela Maria Cursi, na cidade de São Paulo, em conjunto com o Movimento de Defesa dos Favelados, revela essa produção, já que, para resistir às reiteradas estratégias de expulsão de uma área valorizada de um bairro periférico, tiveram que promover atividades nas quais politizavam o vivido a partir de confrontos diretos com os representantes do Estado e também com os demais setores interessados na expropriação.

Abstract

NOTES ON THE PRODUCTION OF A SPACE OF CONFLICT IN THE STRUGGLE FOR THE CITY

The paper aims to understand one of the contradictions inherent in the urban crisis – that between domination and appropriation of space – against the backdrop of the practices of urban social movements that produce a space of conflict. We understand space of conflict as that where an encounter brought about by conflict gives rise to actions that demystify discourses and actions carried out by agents that seek to dominate space. The space of conflict is collective, insofar as it does not reduce citizenship and participation to discourse, but instead promotes the demands made by residents. Our hypothesis thus rests on the idea that resistance can produce a space of conflict. For this reason, the struggle waged by the residents of Maria Cursi (a slum in the city of São Paulo) together with the Movement in Defense of Slum Dwellers reveals the production of such space. In order to counteract the strategies for removing the slum from high value land in São Paulo’s peripheral space, these residents had to promote activities that politicized lived space in their battle against policymakers and others interested in displacement.
Educação (in)formal do campo na lógica do capital agroindustrial no Oeste do Paraná
Authors: Ben Marilucia , Wizniewsky Carmen Rejane Flores
Published: February 2018

O artigo é resultado de estudos referentes à educação cooperativista no Oeste do Paraná, educação essa desenvolvida pelo próprio cooperativismo empresarial. O objetivo é entender as relações de qualificação/desqualificação presentes na educação (in)formal e voltada para o capital/consumo com vistas ao agronegócio. Na relação dialética entre campo/agroindústria, os trabalhadores do campo (estes chamados de integrados/ cooperados) vêm, constantemente, se qualificando/desqualificando para atender aos interesses da (re)produção do capital impostos pelos complexos agroindustriais e também para atender às exigências do mercado internacional. Ao mesmo tempo em que os trabalhadores se qualificam/desqualificam, vivem processos contraditórios e de confronto nas relações sociais de produção. Compreender como as famílias integradas/cooperadas e também os trabalhadores da agroindústria são escolarizados para atender aos interesses do capital agroindustrial da região Oeste paranaense, esse é, então, o objetivo geral do estudo aqui em questão. A área de estudo compreende o Oeste do Paraná, caracterizado pela forte presença agroindustrial, além do significativo setor de comércio e serviços, setores voltados, em parte, para atender às demandas das agroindústrias. A pesquisa abrange o período de 1960 a 2010, caracterizado por profundas transformações no campo, resultado da reestruturação produtiva entre capital/trabalho.

Abstract

(IN)FORMAL RURAL EDUCATION IN THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL CAPITAL OF WESTERN PARANÁ

This article is the result of studies on cooperative education in western Paraná provided by business cooperatives, where the objective is to understand the qualification/disqualification relationships present in (in)formal education in agribusiness focused on capital and consumption. In the dialectic relationship between the rural environment and agro-industry, field workers (called integrated/associated workers) are constantly being qualified/disqualified in order to serve the interests of the (re)production of capital imposed by the agro-industrial complex and to meet international market requirements. While workers are being qualified/disqualified, they experience contradictory and confrontational processes in the social relations of production. Thus, understanding how integrated/cooperative families and agro-industry workers are educated to serve the interests of western Paraná’s agro-industrial capital is the general objective of this study. The study area comprises western Paraná, which is characterized by a strong agro-industrial presence in addition to significant trade and service sectors (which are partially focused on serving agroindustry demands). The research covers the period 1960–2010, which was exemplified by profound changes in the rural environment resulting from productive restructuring between capital and labor.
Desenvolvimento industrial e conflitos de terra: desafios do desenvolvimento local frente à questão fundiária entre a comunidade de Massangana e o Complexo Industrial de Suape-PE
Authors: Lemos Hélio De Vasconcelos , Jesus Paulo De
Published: February 2018

O presente artigo buscou minimizar a escassez de análises em torno do impacto de um grande programa industrial – o Complexo Industrial de Suape – sobre os territórios que o circundam e teve como objetivo geral analisar as influências do referido complexo industrial sobre o cotidiano da comunidade de Massangana no Município do Cabo de Santo Agostinho-PE. Para isso, foram tomados, como categoria de análise, o cotidiano desta população, e, como método investigativo, a história de vida dos entrevistados para a compreensão dos acontecimentos locais. O artigo foi produzido no contexto de conclusão do Curso de Mestrado em Extensão Rural e Desenvolvimento Local pela Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco – UFRPE. Entre os resultados da pesquisa é possível afirmar que a maioria dos trabalhadores de Massangana tem optado por não seguir a tradição do trabalho agrícola local de outrora, em função da incerteza quanto à posse de suas terras devido ao conflito fundiário existente entre estes e o Complexo Industrial de Suape. Ao final deste estudo, foi constatado que a dificuldade de trabalhar a terra, associada à falta de utilização da mão de obra desta população pelo complexo industrial, impede de forma considerável a concretização do desenvolvimento local em Massangana.

Abstract

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND LAND CONFLICTS: LOCAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES FACING LAND QUESTIONS BETWEEN MASSANGANA COMMUNITY AND INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX OF SUAPE – PE

The study aims to analyze how the Industrial Complex in Suape influences the Massangana Community’s way of life and their occupational and professional opportunities in Cabo de Santo Agostinho-PE, in a local development perspective. Taking daily life as one of the categories of analysis, the research tried to understand, by the method fife history, how this industrial complex has influenced the Massangana population to abandon the old agricultural practices, to look for professional qualification, as well as creating new employment strategies and income, that added to the public policy of industrial development, will enable the Local Development. This research showed that the uncertainty about land tenure, associated with lack of investment in the creation of human capital to enable the exploitation of local workers by the Industrial Complex of Suape, prevents any local development in this community.
De Região Sisaleira a Território do Sisal: desvelando as nuances do processo de delimitação da diferenciação espacial no Semiárido Baiano

Published: February 2018

A categoria região foi tradicionalmente acionada pelas políticas governamentais para fins de planejamento e controle; todavia, desde o início do século XXI, com a ascensão do governo do Partido dos Trabalhadores, a categoria território tornou-se nuclear para formulação de políticas de ordenamento territorial. Essa adoção, no âmbito político-institucional, produziu reflexos na sociedade civil do Território do Sisal, pois o território se tornou palavra-chave nos discursos dos diversos sujeitos sociais (associações e cooperativas de agricultores rurais, sindicatos de trabalhadores rurais e organizações não governamentais). Em face destas constatações, o propósito deste artigo é oferecer uma reflexão que contribua para o necessário aprofundamento desse debate sobre os conteúdos espaciais, políticos e organizacionais desses processos de uso da ideia de região e/ou de território para definir recortes de aplicação das políticas públicas. Assim, o texto está estruturado em três partes que se propõem a explicitar como, num espaço específico, uma região se transforma em território, a saber: a diferenciação do espaço semiárido, a oficialização da região Sisaleira da Bahia, e o surgimento do Território do Sisal.

Abstract

FROM SISAL REGION TO SISAL TERRITORY: UNVEILING NUANCES OF DELIMITATION PROCESS OF SPATIAL DIFFERENTIATION IN SEMI-ARID REGION OF BAHIA

The category “Region” has been traditionally referred to by government policies for planning and control purposes. However, since the beginning of 21st century, with the ascension of Workers Party (PT), the category “territory” has become fundamental for implementing policies or territorial organization. Such adoption, in the political-institutional environment, produced results on Civil society of Sisal region, because the territory has become key word in the speech of social subjects (associations and agricultural cooperatives rural workers Union and non-governmental organizations). Taking this perception into consideration, the objective of the article is to offer reflection that contributes to in-depth debate about surface, political and organizational contents of the processes of use of the idea of region and/or territory to define techniques of application of public policies. Therefore, the text is structured in 3 parts which aim at explaining how, in specific environment, a region become a territory: the differentiation of semi-arid space, official recognition of Sisal Region in Bahia, and emergence of Sisal Territory.
