A presente dissertação trata da Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (SAN) entre os povos indí-genas sob a perspectiva do Direito Humano a Alimentação Adequada (DHAA) e da Soberania Alimentar (SA). Apresenta à experiência dos indígenas Asheninkas do Alto Rio Envira, nar-rada a partir deles mesmos, com o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) enquanto be-neficiários fornecedores, no Município de Feijó, Estado do Acre. O PAA invest igado é exe-cutado pelo governo do estado e a modalidade é a Compra com Doação Simultânea. Demons-tra-se, por meio do Estudo de Caso, que o PAA pode fortalecer a segurança alimentar e nutri-cional dessas sociedades diferenciadas com manutenção da sua autonomia cultural. Com isso, debate-se as questões sobre a prioridade legal conferida a estes segmentos e a valorização para a aquisição de produtos tradicionais, intrínsecos á cultura, alimentação e culinária indí-gena. A ressignificação e adequação do Programa localmente unida aos laços de reciprocidade e parentesco, típicos das comunidades indígenas, contribuem para o acesso e manutenção de famílias isoladas geograficamente no Programa. Argumenta-se ainda, que a participação indí-gena no PAA, uma vez seguido os princípios legislativos do Programa e o respeito à autode-terminação dos povos, fortalece o resgate e manutenção dos sistemas alimentares tradicionais dos povos indígenas em seus territórios e terras indígenas já conquistadas legalmente. Assim, o PAA constitui-se não apenas em uma politica geradora de renda, mas, reúne, principalmen-te, características opostas às politicas indigenistas praticadas no passado. / This dissertation discusses food security and nutrition between indigenous people under the consideration of The Human Right to Adequate Food and Food sovereignty perspectives. It presents the experience of the Asheninkas’ people from the high Envira River with the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) in Feijo municipality, from their narratives as suppliers-beneficiaries. The program studied is implemented by the state government in the modality of Buy with Simultaneous donation. It is demonstrated through this case study that the PAA can strengthen food security and nutrition of these diverse societies maintaining their cultural au-tonomy. By this means, questions about the legal priority given to these segments and the appreciation to the acquisition of traditional products, intrinsic to indigenous culture, food and cuisine, are raised and debated. The local reinterpretation and adaptation of the program com-bined with the reciprocity ties and parentage, typical of indigenous communities, contribute to the access and maintenance of geographically isolated families in the program. It is further argued that the indigenous participation on PAA, once its legislative principles and the respect for these people self-determination are observed, strengthens the recovery and maintenance of indigenous traditional food systems in indigenous territories and lands already occupied legal-ly. Therefore, the PAA is not just a income generation policy, but also, and specially, a policy with opposite characteristics from the old indigenous policies.

<p>The theoretical discussion of how to define the public sphere relies on Jürgen Habermas’ analysis of the bourgeois public sphere.

There is an urgent need for Bangladesh to identify the arsenic (As) contaminated tubewells (TWs) in order to assess the health risks and initiate appropriate mitigation measures. This involves testing water in millions of TWs and raising community awareness about the health problems related to chronic As exposure from drinking water, and providing alternative safe water option for the exposed population of the country. The use of spatial maps in a participatory context emerged as an important tool for an effective and rational distribution of alternative safe water options for the exposed population of the country. Field test kit offers the only practical tool available to screen all the TW water considering the time frame and financial resources of the country. A comparison of the field test kit results and laboratory measurements by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) as “gold standard” for As in water of 12,532 TWs in Matlab upazila (sub-district) in Bangladesh, indicates that the field test kit correctly determined the status of 87% of the As levels compared to the Bangladesh Drinking Water Standard (BDWS) of 50 μg/L, and 91% of the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water guideline value of 10 μg/L. In order to identify the sustainable alternative safe water options, different type of safe water options were distributed in Sonargaon and Jhikargachha upazilas (sub-district) in 2001 and later revisited the options in 2004 to identify the sustainable ones. It was observed that community acceptability of the distributed options was not encouraging; less than 2% of the provided options were found to be in use. However, two new approaches emerged from people’s initiatives, which were making rapid and positive contributions to safe water coverage: switching to the existing As-safe TWs and reinstalling TWs at 50-100 m depths by looking at particular type of sediment colours. A study was conducted in Matlab upazila to validate the concept of installation/reinstallation of TWs at certain depths, a new concept promoted by local drillers (masons). The study revealed that locally a thick layer of black to grey sediments overlies an oxidized unit of yellowish-grey to reddish-brown sediments. The correlation between the colour of both units and the groundwater redox conditions was investigated to provide an easy tool for targeting low-arsenic groundwater. The water abstracted from black sediments contained high amount of As concentration but the concentration decreased towards the yeallowish to red sediments. Three boreholes verified the driller's perception of the subsurface lithologic conditions. Discrepancies between the driller's and the research team description of the sediment colours were insignificant. This study shows that sediment colour is a reliable indicator of high and low As-concentrations in TW water and can be used by local drillers to install TW. Lack of financial resources and identification of an appropriate distribution tools are some of the major obstacles to provide sustainable solution to the exposed population of the country. Spatial mapping exercise along with community participation can help maximize the safe water coverage of different alternative safe water options by reducing financial involvement. Combining people’s voice with that of spatial information gave better results and the method is already been proved useful in targeting non-served areas. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methods along with geographical information system (GIS) used in the study to obtain relevant information. Participants from different focus groups were asked to determine their ‘own priorities’ for spatial planning of alternative arsenic-safe water options. The study discusses community perspectives on demand-based safe water options and reveals the suitability of using participatory geographic information system (PGIS) technique to target non-served areas for rational distribution of safe water options. / QC 20100716

<p>This thesis studies two different models; the Swedish model and the Rehn-Meidner model. It shows their similarities and differences, and explains why it is inaccurate to put an equal mark between the two of them. An extensive discussion on the models is presented in order to give them each a fair assessment. It is shown how and why the Swedish model has failed, as well as how Sweden has failed to apply the Rehn-Meidner model in a consistent manner.</p><p> </p><p>The paper concludes with a brief discussion on the models’ possible application today and in the future. Also, some requirements for the models’ validity will be recognized. Some important questions concerning the models’ relevance, the influence of multitude on the models, and the issue of globalization and the EU are in this concluding chapter briefly discussed. It is argued that multitude has decreased the relevance of the models significantly, and that the Swedish welfare state which was created based on the ideas of the Swedish model, needs to be reassessed. Welfare municipalities are suggested rather than a welfare state.</p> / <p>Den här studien behandlar de två olika modellerna, den svenska modellen och Rehn-Meidner-modellen. Deras likheter och skillnader visas, och det förklaras varför det är inkorrekt att sätta ett likhetstecken mellan dem. En noggrann diskussion om modellerna genomförs för att kunna ge dem båda en rättvis bedömning. Det visas även hur och varför den svenska modellen misslyckats, samt hur Sverige har misslyckats att tillämpa Rehn-Meidner-modellen.</p><p> </p><p>Uppsatsen avslutas med en kort diskussion om modellernas eventuella tillämpning idag och i framtiden. Några krav för modellernas giltighet är också uppmärksammade. Ett antal viktiga frågor rörande modellernas relevans, mångfaldens inflytande på modellerna, samt globaliseringen och EU:s inverkan är i detta kapitel diskuterat. Det påstås att mångfalden har minskat modellernas relevans, och att den svenska välfärdsstaten, vilken är baserad på den svenska modellen, måste omvärderas. Välfärdskommuner föreslås snarare än en välfärdsstat.</p>

Tratou-se de pesquisa qualitativa, um estudo de caso instrumental, com corte longitudinal e uma abordagem multimetodológica. Adotou-se quatro fontes de coleta de dados: descrição do macroambiente da região, por meio da técnica de estimativa rápida e análise dos dados secundários do Censo de 2000; análise documental; observação participante; e grupos focais. Participaram vinte mulheres, cooperadas, de etnia negra, residentes na região do Subúrbio Ferroviário de Salvador. Optou-se pela análise de conteúdo e argumentativa. Constatou-se que os processos de socialização para o trabalho das cooperadas foram diversificados, sendo que todas tiveram na COOPERCONFEC a sua primeira experiência profissional cooperativa. Tornar-se cooperada envolveu cinco principais relações e distintos impactos: com a incubadora (apoio técnico e financeiro provisório), com a comunidade (valorização da localidade), com os clientes (profissionalização), com os pares (identidade coletiva) e consigo mesmas (aumento de auto-estima). Uma das conclusões principais é que ser cooperada da COOPERCONFEC envolveu cinco dimensões, com focos distintos, embora com oscilações, nos vínculos grupais: psicossocial (foco na ajuda mútua), organizacional (foco no sentimento de pertencimento a um grupo organizado de trabalho), racional (foco na relação meios-fins), político-econômica (foco na distribuição de poder e de ganhos) e legal (foco na institucionalização do grupo). Observou-se finalmente que a identidade de cooperado é um fenômeno complexo e multifacetado, que será continuamente reconstruído ao longo da trajetória dos membros da cooperativa. The present work tried to analyze the identity of the cooperative worker in a communal and fraternal work organization; identify aspects which will characterize cooperative labor relations, as well as the dimensions involved in the cooperative identity and the changes experienced after the insertion into the cooperative; analyze the value given to the mother cell during incubation. Qualitative research was made, which consists of a case study, with a longitudinal cut, using a multi methodological study. Four sources of data collection were employed: description of macro-environment of the region, through fast estimate and analysis of secondary data from the 2000 year Census; documental analysis; focus groups; interactive observation. Twenty cooperative African Brazilian women participated, all of them living in the region of the Suburban Train Area of Salvador. The content and argumentative analysis was chosen. It was understood that the socialization processes to the work of the cooperative women were diverse, and all of the workers had their first professional cooperative experience in COOPERCONFEC. Becoming a cooperative worker involved five main relations and distinct impacts: with the mother cell (provisory technical and financial support), with the community (value of the location), with clients (professionalism), with pairs (collective identity), and with themselves (increase in the self-esteem). One of the main conclusions is that being a cooperative worker from COOPERCONFEC takes five dimensions into consideration, with distinct focus on the group relations: psycho-social (emphasis on the mutual help), organizational (emphasis on the feeling of belonging to a work organized group), rational (emphasis on the middle-endings relation), politicaleconomical (emphasis on the distribution of power and of credits), and legal (emphasis on the institutionalization of the group), although there were variations on the focus. It was observed, finally, that the identity of a cooperative worker is a complex and multi faced phenomenon. It will continually be rebuilt throughout the trajectory of the members of the cooperative. / The present work tried to analyze the identity of the cooperative worker in a communal and fraternal work organization; identify aspects which will characterize cooperative labor relations, as well as the dimensions involved in the cooperative identity and the changes experienced after the insertion into the cooperative; analyze the value given to the mother cell during incubation.

The goal of this research about the history of the APF educational policy. In other words sought to understand and analyze the meanings of that administrative experience in the field of education in Fortaleza. The theoretical research on outbreaks used this Education lie on the field of history and history education in the perspective of authors such as Paul Ricouer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, Paul Giles Deleuze and Michel Weyne, Pollak, who are used as plot concepts/notions, narrative, games, memory disputed and segmented. The methodological tools were the documentary and oral sources, the result of interviews with political figures and consultations with the newspapers of the period. The dissertation is evidence for finding that the APF memory is disputed forces standing left in Fortaleza and to demonstrate that, despite numerous misconceptions, administrative-political educational policy was inspired in the popular and democratic education, being understood in education concept observed by the brazilian educator Paulo Freire, in the direction of increasing political awareness of the popular classes. / A Administração Popular de Fortaleza (1986–1988) constitui-se numa das primeiras experiências da esquerda brasileira na esfera da administração pública, depois dos governos militares no Brasil. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi uma investigação sobre a história da política educacional da APF. Em outras palavras buscou compreender e analisar os sentidos daquela experiência administrativa, no âmbito da Educação em Fortaleza. Os focos teóricos utilizados nesta pesquisa em Educação situam-se no campo da História e Historia da Educação, na perspectiva de pensadores como Paul Ricouer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, Paul Veyne, Giles Deleuze e Michel Pollak, de quem são utilizados os conceitos/noções como narrativa, trama, jogos de força, disputabilidade da memória e segmentariedade. Os instrumentos metodológicos foram as fontes documentais orais e escritas, resultado de entrevistas com personalidades políticas e de consultas aos jornais do período. A dissertação evidencia para constatação de que a memória da APF encontra-se em disputabilidade permanente pelas forças políticas de esquerda em Fortaleza e para a demonstração de que, apesar de inúmeros equívocos político-administrativos, a política educacional inspirou-se na educação democrática e popular, sendo compreendida a educação na noção observada pelo educador brasileiro Paulo Freire, no sentido da elevação da consciência política das classes populares

Since some decades ago, Perú enter to the arena of world tourism and the major interest isin Cusco and its surroundings with multiple testimonies of the Incas and previous cultures. Maras is a town funded in colonial times along the trail from Cusco to Urubamba. Nowadays the population work in agriculture, livestock, and salt extraction to sell in the region. Maras is also the start point to visit the Moray and Salinas andenes and it is calculated that through this town pass some 200 tourists daily. People are aware that they could offer the tourists some extra services and have additional income to better their living conditions. In 2002, the National Institute of Culture (INC) with the Maras Project put into value some monuments and orga- nized the Handicraft Center and later with the project Mejorando mi Pueblo of the Ministry of Housing some streets were paved. Most of tourists passing by Maras practice «tourism of adventure», they arrive on foot, in bicycle or on horse and it would be worth to offer them lodging services, food, and invite them to visit the town rich in history and patrimony. In this context, a group of professors and students of the SPGSE-FAUA of the National University of Engineering, in the framework of the International Workshop «Diseñando y Construyendo Procesos Participativos» realized in September of this year the awareness workshop at Maras«Construyendo juntos las perspectivas de auto desarrollo de Maras», where the people designed the touristic circuit of the town and has priory projects to the development of public spaces and training in touristic services, in order to be ready to work in this activity without abandonment of their agricultural activities.The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of Maras and their expectancesand possibilities to get involved in the touristic activity in the region. / Desde hace ya varias décadas el Perú entró en la arena del turismo mundial y el interés mayor está en el Cusco y sus alrededores con múltiples testimonios de la cultura Inca y de sus antecesoras. Maras es un pueblo fundado en la época colonial en el camino entre Urubamba y Cusco. Hoy la población se dedica a la agricultura, a la ganadería, la producción de sal y su comercialización en la región. Maras es también el punto de partida para visitar los andenes de Moray y las Salinas y se calcula que diariamente pasan por el pueblo unos doscientos turistas. La población es consciente de que podría ofrecerles algunos servicios que le proporcionarían ingresos adicionales para mejorar sus condiciones de vida. En el año 2002, el Instituto Nacional de Cultura (INC) con el Proyecto Maras ha puesto en valor algunos monumentos y formó el Centro Artesanal y luego con el proyecto Mejorando Mi Pueblo del Ministerio de Vivienda se pavimentó algunas calles. Resulta que los turistas que pasan por Maras en su mayoría practican el «turismo de aventura», vienen a pie, en bicicleta o a caballo y sería deseable ofrecerles servicios de descanso, alimento e invitarlos a visitar el pueblo que es rico en historia y patrimonio. Con este propósito, un grupo de profesoras y alumnos de la Sección de Posgrado y Segunda Especialización de la Facultad de Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Artes (SPGSE-FAUA) de la Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (UNI), en el marco del Taller Internacional «Diseñando y Construyendo Procesos Participativos», ha realizado en setiembre de este año en Maras el taller vivencial «Construyendo juntos las perspectivas de autodesarrollo de Maras», en el cual la población ha diseñado el Circuito Turístico del pueblo y ha priorizado proyectos de mejoramiento de espacios públicos y capacitación en actividades de servicios turísticos, a fin de prepararse y encaminarse hacia esta nueva actividad económica, sin abandonar sus actividades agropecuarias.El propósito de este artículo es describir el proceso de desarrollo de Maras y las expectativasy posibilidades de los pobladores para insertarse en la actividad turística de la región.
