A qualificação do conceito assédio moral no Brasil : implicações nas práticas de gerenciamento do capital humano
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2008-06-30) Souza, Vera Lucia de; Grün, Roberto; https://lattes.cnpq.br/6028266827740491
What has changed regarding personnel management in Brazil since the nomination of the concept of moral harassment ? The search of an answer to this question induced the development of this doctorate thesis, which the subject is moral harassment and its purpose being the qualification of this concept in the country and its objective the investigation of its impact in managerial practices in Brazilian organizations. The work supported on the hypothesis that this nomination, transforming individual complaint in organizational phenomenon has provoked changes in the perception of Brazilian society. Consequently, the study focused on the analysis of the sources of its qualification, in the logic of transformation from individual complaint into organizational phenomenon, in the dynamic practices qualified as moral harassment, in the presuppositions of manipulation, in instruments of contemporary corporate justice and in fundaments for evaluating workers. The results were obtained from the analysis of empirical material, collected from written and electronic communications sources, for the periods between 1983 and 2006. The analysis has proved that the most relevant impact of creating this legal notion, in the Brazilian organizational scope, was the escalation of public denunciation from the year 2000 onwards, seeking indemnification for the damage caused by these managerial practices.

It is known that practicing regular exercises promotes several benefits to elderly individuals. However, no studies have assessed the effects of activity on obstacle negotiation with this population. Therefore, the objective of this research was to study the gait during obstacle negotiation of elderly women who were physically active and physically independent by means of the analysis of biomechanical variables to identify which adaptations are performed by each group when executing a more complex gait task. The sample was comprised of healthy elderly female subjects, in which ten were physically independent (PI) and the other ten were physically active (PA) for more than one year. Two biomechanical tools were utilized: kinematics and dynamometry. The volunteers performed two types of protocols at self-selected speed: unobstructed gait and obstructed gait. The obstacle was positioned in two different manners, one immediately before the force plate (P1) and the other just after the force plate (P2), so the authors could analyze the different phases of the lower limb (primary and secondary approach, and primary and secondary support) during the negotiation of an obstacle. Obstacle height was customized according to the volunteer s lower limb length, and the heights of 10, 20 and 30% were utilized from the verified measure. The order in which the volunteers performed the task was randomized, and each volunteer executed three valid trials to each experimental condition, with the total amount of 21 randomized trials. The analyzed variables were: stride length, toe and heel horizontal distances, toe and heel clearances, hip joint absolute angle, knee and ankle joints relative angles, first and second peak vertical forces, minimum vertical force, relative vertical impulse of the ground reaction force, and support time. The Friedman analysis of variance was applied to detect differences between the tasks, while the Mann-Whitney test was applied to indicate differences between the groups. Type-I Error was controlled with the significance level stipulated below 0.05 to both tests. The statistically significant results did not provide conclusions regarding the effect of physical activity on the gait during obstacle negotiation of elderly women. However, it was observed certain indications that physical activity promoted facilitation when negotiating the imposed perturbations. Perhaps, by analyzing other variables and higher obstacle heights, the differences between the groups may become more apparent.
Aspectos da favelização em Ribeirão Preto – SP: revelando vivências
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2008-06-30) Rosa, Lucelina Rosseti; Mancuso, Maria Inês Rauter; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3208435983286140; https://lattes.cnpq.br/1543719742042885
This research approaches the urban issues causing a consideration about the way of life in cities in the present time, through a survey in Ribeirão Preto, countryside in São Paulo state. We focused the paper on investigating part of the process of slummy effect that expands in the outskirts of this city, having the object of analysis the “Favela da Coca-Cola Slum”. Putting our efforts to understand the reason why such social configuration expands, we screened one of the dwellers, its history and background. By having the guiding assumption relation/interaction between rural and urban, country and city, we found in the concepts of 'agrobusiness' and the 'country side metropolis' components to understand the historical social differences built by the developing of Ribeirão Preto. Thus, the slummy effect seems to be the tool to expose the devices found through social roles that seek to 'survive' in the urban spaces by developing their own ways to live in the city space.
A medição de desempenho na construção enxuta: estudos de caso
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2008-06-30) Lorenzon, Itamar Aparecido; Martins, Roberto Antonio; https://lattes.cnpq.br/3518820028045730; https://lattes.cnpq.br/5097468258043445
Currently the civil construction sector in under several internal and external pressures, including financing crisis, lack of new public constructions and increasing quality requirements demanded by the client. This environment leaded the companies of this sector to search for new solutions by adopting new organizational and production management practices. Within the alternatives, the Lean Construction, a derivation from the Lean Production, appeared as a way to manage civil construction productivity by reducing the activities that do not add value, by increasing flexibility and by increasing the transparency of the process. This new form of organizing the production brings new concepts that require new forms to measure the performance. In this context, this thesis aims to empirically investigate, applying a qualitative approach and multiple case study, how the companies which implemented the Lean Construction are using the performance measures within this form of production organization and administration. The field research was carried through four civil construction companies which applied Lean Construction principles. The empirical evidences showed that the studied companies had not incorporated all Lean Construction principles, with some of those only starting to be assimilated. Nevertheless, these companies had to modify their performance measures, mainly by creating pointers that evaluated this new form to manage the production. This theses brings a contribution to the civil construction sector by analysing the current use level of Lean Construction principles and by indicating the needed changes on how performance pointers are measured to incorporate this new management way.

The current work (This present paper) aims to reflect how to think the natural sciences in the field of Child Education, since this science is related to a rigid knowledge corpus, structured and organized and the education in the childhood is associated to the child care perspective, also connected to looking after. To carry out this discussion we developed a approximation survey among with the child space, located in a child care institution EMEI, where we worked directly with all professionals in that institution who developed work projects focusing science. Following, we selected three out of them to participate in a confronting process and self-confronting. This method proposes a collection and analysis work from several perspectives, view that the descriptions and observations can bear different evolutions. This method also approaches the complexity of nature of the subjects' speech and actions and from these confrontations between subject versus researcher and among the subjects themselves, if seeks to provide reflections such as what I have done , what I should do and What I am going to do an brings more ethic and reliable data (Crindal Alain, 2005). With this propose we seek to analyze from projects and reflections developed by the child educators what science in child education means. Based upon the theoretical references discussed by the Psychology of Development and the Sociology of Childhood we found the pedagogical practices of those professionals and their respective conceptions about what a child is, to bear a childhood and the purpose of the child institution and the correlations among such theories, a back and forth movement of ideas (of preparing to) connected to the perspective of becoming and the social perspective of being today . Thus, we finish the paper outlining the importance of 'seeing' the child as a creator, capable to establish multiples relationships, a sociological-historical subject, builder of culture and within it, and by this perspective a work that values the science of child education, while life discovering, the world around child and not the science as a organized structure and structured, aiming an anticipation of schooling.
