The analysis is based on a conception of social conflict institutionalized in search of understanding an integrated policing system, able to keep up with new demands on the state in the face of conflicting dynamics of the society. The theoretical model used for the construction of research supports the significant nature of power struggles and ideological struggles for legitimacy of competitive groups of a certain institutional system. / A pesquisa A Polícia do Maranhão no começo do Novo Milênio: transitando entre poder, violência e luta por direitos buscou avaliar o sistema de policiamento do Estado brasileiro em decorrência do processo de mudança institucional ocasionados pelas novas orientações constitucionais de 1988. A análise parte de uma concepção de conflito social institucionalizado em busca da compreensão de um sistema integrado de policiamento, capaz de acompanhar as novas exigências ao Estado em face das dinâmicas conflituosas do corpo social. O modelo teórico utilizado para a construção da pesquisa admite o caráter significativo dos conflitos de poder e das lutas ideológicas pela legitimidade dos grupos competitivos de determinado sistema institucional.

The "Training Grant" is one of the ninety-four measures in the context of the National Program on Public Security with Citizenship - PRONASCI, which represents, in terms of its scope, administrative organization and budgetary allocation, one of the most important Public security among those already carried out in Brazil. Public Safety professionals participated in this Project in several units of the Federation, through an agreement with the Ministry of Justice. Project participants, including military firefighters, were selected based on the limit of their monthly gross income and their behavior in the corporation. The objective of the research that supported this Dissertation was to evaluate the effects of this governmental measure for the performance of the professional activities of the military firefighter. In the context of the proposed evaluation, it was possible to infer that, despite the relevance and innovative meaning of the modality Of Distance Education qualification - EaD, the singular activity of providing relief, rescue, rescue and civil defense of these public security agents demands practical training. In addition, the "stock market", despite its relevance as a financial complement, may have replaced a possible salary readjustment of the participants and also represented a limiting factor of other fundamental actions foreseen in the PRONASCI formulation. / Avaliação dos efeitos do “Projeto Bolsa Formação” na perspectiva dos egressos do Corpo de Bombeiros Militar do Maranhão. O “Bolsa Formação” é uma das noventa e quatro medidas situadas no contexto do Programa Nacional de Segurança Pública com Cidadania – PRONASCI que representa, em termos de abrangência no alcance de suas medidas, organização administrativa e dotação orçamentária, uma das mais importantes políticas de segurança pública dentre as já executadas no Brasil. Participaram deste Projeto, profissionais da área da segurança pública em diversas unidades da Federação, mediante convênio com o Ministério da Justiça. Os participantes do Projeto, entre eles, os bombeiros militares, eram selecionados em função do limite dos seus rendimentos brutos mensais e do seu comportamento na corporação. O objetivo da pesquisa que deu suporte à presente Dissertação foi aferir os efeitos desta medida governamental para o desempenho das atividades profissionais do bombeiro militar. O universo de pesquisa foi constituído pelos bombeiros militares participantes do “Projeto Bolsa Formação” na cidade de São Luís/MA, no ano de 2009. No contexto da avaliação proposta, foi possível inferir que, não obstante a relevância e o significado inovador da modalidade de qualificação via Ensino à Distância – EaD, a atividade singular de prestação de socorro, salvamentos, resgate e defesa civil destes agentes da segurança pública demanda treinamentos práticos. Ademais, a “bolsa”, apesar de sua relevância como complemento financeiro, pode ter substituído possível reajuste salarial dos participantes e ainda representado um fator limitante de outras ações fundamentais previstas na formulação do PRONASCI.

As atividades que envolvem planejamento urbano e de transportes vêm sendo cada vez mais introduzidas, diagnosticadas e modeladas em Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG), fornecendo respostas rápidas e racionais às questões levantadas em diversas áreas de atuação. A localização de serviços públicos de emergência, dentre outros, está diretamente ligada ao atendimento à comunidade. Nesta pesquisa apresenta-se o mapeamento de pontos de comércio, manipulação e armazenamento de produtos combustíveis e explosivos, os quais representam grande potencial de risco de incêndio na cidade de São Carlos (SP). Em adição elabora-se estudo de regionalização destes locais considerando as posições geográficas das centrais de atendimento do Corpo de Bombeiros do município. A partir daí, efetuam-se as análises das facilidades oferecidas na implantação do SIG. A implantação de projeto dessa natureza poderá auxiliar também nos atendimentos aos chamados de socorro, com um tempo de resposta mínimo. / The activities that involve urban and transportation planning have been introduced, diagnosed and modeled in Geographical Information System (GIS), supplying fast and rational answers to the questions in severaI areas of performance. The location of emergencies public services, among others, this directly envolves the attendance to the community. This research displays mapping of trade, manipulation and storage points of combustible and explosive products, that represent great potential of fire risk in São Carlos (SP). In addition, it is studied regionalization of such points considering the geographical positions of the headquarters of attendance of the fire department of the district. Since then, it is executed analysis of the facilities offered in the stablishment of GIS. The implantation of project of this nature will also be able to aid in the attendances to the calls of help, with a minimum time of answer.

This thesis provides a case study of the Government of Canada's former Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Preparedness (OCIPEP) through the lens of horizontal management (part of New Public Management theory). This study demonstrates that the effective use of horizontal management (horizontality) may reduce fragmentation occurring when the goal of critical infrastructure protection requires organizations to work cross-jurisdictionally and in partnerships. This need to collaborate is due to the ownership problem: over 85 per cent of Canada's critical infrastructure is owned by organizations other than the federal government. Research methods include a background survey of literature on critical infrastructure protection, horizontal management and horizontality, and new public management; and interviews using a snowball sample of eight subjects who held various positions within OCIPEP to better understand what the organizational structure appeared to be from within the organization. The research concludes that OCIPEP was not given the resources necessary to successfully fulfil its mandate. Results include the need for administrative and managerial support for horizontal endeavours, to encourage a "cultural context" of horizontality, as there are many organizational barriers to successfully using horizontality and collaborative methods. There were areas of success for OCIPEP, but more areas of weakness. Recommendations include additional study of the organization, a shift into a better-supported organization (which was accomplished with OCIPEP's inclusion into Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada), and clear delineation of roles between the Government of Canada and the owners of the critical infrastructure. / October 2005

Past research concerning work and family has largely been from traditional, white-collar settings and has only taken into consideration the perceptions of the employees' experiences with regard to the relationship between work and family. However, there is no doubt that employees' in non-traditional settings, particularly those employed in public safety professions (i.e. police and fire) experience the relationship between work and family differently than those in white-collar settings, especially since they put their lives on the line daily for the protection and betterment of the community, society and even the world. In addition, the experiences and perceptions of work and family will undoubtedly be different for the family members (i.e. children and spouses) of those employed in such "life-threatening" professions. This study sought to understand how public safety employees, as well as their families, make sense out of the relationship between work and family by first examining what metaphors they employ to articulate the relationship between work and family. In addition, this study sought to examine if male versus female public safety employees experience the relationship between work and family in similar or different ways, as well as if police officers and fire fighters experience the relationship similarly or differently. Using qualitative methods, the findings indicate that public safety employees and their families articulate and make sense of the relationship between work and family in both similar and different ways. Contrary to previous work-family research, dominant metaphors and constructs such as balance, conflict, segmentation, etc. did not appear at all within this study. Instead, participants likened the relationship between work and family to competition, nature, organism, change, integration, opposition, ambiguity, and destruction. Public safety employees and their families also experienced and made sense of the relationship between work and family through humor, emotion management, fear and risk assessment. Findings also indicate that both male and female public safety employees internalize risk in much the same way, as well as agree that parenthood in general, is devalued in the public safety profession. With regard to differences, findings indicate that females have a harder time negotiating a healthy relationship between work and family, have their competency levels always questioned by family or co-workers, and use different language and rhetoric from males when talking about work and family. Finally, results show that police officers and fire fighters make sense of work and family in much the same way with regard to "dirty work" and communication rules but differ in terms of coping mechanisms and job satisfaction. This study suggests a number of implications for both theory and practice. The findings also point to many necessary areas of future research which could further our understanding of the relationship between work and family, not only in professions characterized by high-risk, non-standard hours and stress, but also in standard white-collar professions as well.

Louis-Antoine Léon de Saint-Just (1767-1794) was a revolutionary, a statesman, and a political philosopher, yet it is largely only as a revolutionary that he is remembered. As a political person who occupied these three different but overlapping roles, Saint-Just is ideal as the subject and center of a study of actualization, the taking of political ideals into reality. Saint-Just’s political philosophy was that of an idealist, and yet he, by force of circumstance, ability, and audacity, had the opportunity in his short life to attempt to establish and put into practice his political ideals. In his work as a political person Saint-Just created templates for the understanding of the relationship between political theory and political action. Saint-Just’s political theory is examined in relation to his political action, using the concepts of ‘the natural’, ‘the civil’, ‘the social’ and ‘the political’, concepts which are central in Saint-Just’s political philosophy. Saint-Just’s formulations of these concepts, concepts which have also been central to the history of political philosophy, and his understanding of the relations between these concepts, helps to establish him as a political philosopher of some importance, as does the theory and practice approach to politics which his attempts demanded and which his political life demonstrated. In Saint-Just’s function as political philosopher the thesis finds the theoretical element of politics, which becomes redefined in its interaction with Saint-Just’s other functions as statesman and revolutionary, the latter two of which correspond roughly to practice and exigency. As a theorist who is also a statesman in a context of exigency, or revolution, Saint-Just’s political life is a constantly rearranged juxtaposition of theory, practice, and revolution, albeit one which never loses it essential ties to its philosophical base, even in the hours of greatest emergency. Such dedication to a philosophical base, one which refuses to dispense with political philosophy, demonstrates a new conception of political philosophy for the modern world, fills in elements of a theory of revolution as a phenomenon of both theory and action, and provides a contained case for examination of political philosophy and political action, questioning their disunity.
