No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Desportos, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Física, Florianópolis, 2014.O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o processo de formação esportiva em ambiente de sucesso no desenvolvimento de talentos do basquetebol feminino. Esta investigação, pautada na Teoria Bioecológica do Desenvolvimento Humano, caracteriza-se como um estudo de caso do tipo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa das informações. O contexto esportivo estudado compreendeu um Clube de Basquete do Estado de Santa Catarina, tendo como principais participantes as atletas pertencentes às categorias de formação deste Clube e seus respectivos treinadores. Contribuíram com o estudo dirigentes esportivos, treinador da equipe adulta, atletas da categoria adulta e ex-atletas da instituição. As informações coletadas por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e fontes documentais foram analisadas, através da técnica de análise de conteúdo do tipo categorial, no software NVivo versão 9.2. O processo de formação esportiva revelou três estágios de desenvolvimento da carreira esportiva das atletas de basquetebol feminino, vinculadas ao ambiente de sucesso no desenvolvimento de talentos esportivos. O estágio de iniciação esportiva demonstrou a predominância de demandas positivas, disposições geradoras (atributos pessoais), jogo deliberado, díades de observação e papel social de atletas em formação (contexto). As transições normativas (tempo) predominantes estiveram ligadas ao domínio esportivo (iniciação para a especialização) e ao domínio psicológico (infância para a adolescência). O estágio de especialização esportiva evidenciou o enfoque nos recursos ativos e na mesclagem de disposições geradoras e disruptivas, na diminuição do jogo deliberado e na ampliação da vivência de situações de prática deliberada, além de díades de reciprocidade e afetividade, bem como papéis sociais relacionados a atletas esforçadas e dedicadas. Além disso, estabeleceu a presença de transições esportivas (treinamento especializado - normativas, lesões - não normativas) e psicossociais (contatos sociais e lazer). O estágio de investimento esportivo enfatizou a necessidade de ampliação dos recursos ativos, exclusividade de prática deliberada, predominância dedíades de atividade de conjunta de afetividade e papéis sociais marcados pelo sentimento de corresponder ao desempenho de atletas profissionais. As transições esportivas (das categorias de base para a adulta - normativas) e psicossociais (relacionamentos estáveis-instáveis) evidenciaram que os objetivos esportivos passaram a ser as principais metas de vida destas atletas. Nesta perspectiva, as informações coletadas permitem concluir que os atributos pessoais, as experiências em termos de atividades molares, relações interpessoais e papéis sociais proporcionados pelo microssistema esportivo, bem como a superação de transições nos domínios tanto esportivo quanto não esportivo, revelaram o estabelecimento de processos proximais com predominância de resultados de competência no processo de formação esportiva das atletas de basquetebol feminino.Abstract : This study aims to analyze the process of sports training in a successful environment in the development of female basketball talents. This investigation, based on the Bio-ecological Theory of Human Development, is a descriptive case study with a qualitative approach of information. The sport context studied included a Basketball Team in Santa Catarina State, and its main subjects were athletes belonging to the team's basic categories and their respective coaches. In addition to that, sports directors, the senior team coach, senior team athletes and some of the team's ex-athletes also contributed to the study. The data collected through semi-structured interviews and documental sources were analyzed based on the content analysis technique of categorial kind in the software NVivo, 9.2 version. The process of sports training revealed three stages of development for the sports career of female basketball athletes, connected to a successful environment in the development of sports talents. The sport initiation stage showed a predominance of positive demands, generative dispositions (personal attributes), deliberated play, observational dyads and social role of the developing athletes (context). In turn, the predominant normative transitions (time) were linked to the sport domain (initiation to specialization) and the psychological domain (childhood to adolescence). The sports specialization stage focused on the active resources and the mixing of generating and disruptive dispositions, the reduction of the deliberated game and the amplification of the experience of deliberated practice situations, the dyads of reciprocity and affectivity as well as social roles related to hardworking and devoted athletes. Furthermore, it established the presence of sports transitions (specialized training - normative, lesions - non-normative) and psycho-social (social contacts and leisure). The sports investment stage highlighted the need to amplify the active resources, exclusivity of deliberated practice, predominance of joint activity dyad of affective, and social roles affected by the feeling of corresponding to the performance of professional athletes. Finally, the sports transitions (from the base to thesenior categories - normative) and psycho-social (stable - unstable relationships) showed that the sport objectives became the main life goals for these athletes. From this perspective, the data collected allow us to come to the conclusion that the personal attributes, the experiences concerning molar activities, the interpersonal relationships and the social roles provided by the sports micro system, as well as the overcoming of transitions in both sport and non-sport domains revealed the establishment of proximal processes with predominance of competence results in the process of female basketball athletes' sport development

Stages for the More Sustainable Farm
No full textCurrently, agricultural farm units are faced with a double and most times contradictory challenge, in order to be successful: on the one hand the invested capital has to be profitable and the economic performance has to be maximised. On the other hand, given the socio-environmental situation, it is necessary to preserve and to protect the environment and natural resources. Given the potential conflict of the two aims, since the satisfaction of one implies the underperformance of the other (and vice versa), the question then is: which is the solution to choose? We intend, in this work, to formulate a farm plan with the purpose of reconciling the criteria of environmental sustainability with that of economic competitiveness. For this achievement we proceed to the comparative study of sustainability of different groups of farms identified in the study area (first evaluation cycle) through MESMIS (“Marco para la Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturales Mediante Indicadores de Sustentabilidad” - Framework for Evaluation of Natural-Resource Systems Handling through Sustainability Indicators) methodology, that allowed to select the more sustainable group of farms. Based on the found potentialities and weakness on these production systems, we stepped to the planning of a production unit of bovine meat, which obeys simultaneously to economic and environmental objectives, using Multicriteria Decision. We finished the work with the sustainability evaluation between groups of farms identified previously and the planned farms (second evaluation cycle), based, again, in the MESMIS methodology, to confirm (or not) the greatest sustainability of the last ones. Analyses of the results allow us to confirm the greatest relative sustainability of the planned farm, for the diverse traced scenarios.Decision taking, planning, sustainability, Environmental Economics and Policy, Farm Management,

Trajetória docente no magistério público estadual: histórias de vida de professores de educação física
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Desportos. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Física.O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a trajetória docente em Educação Física no magistério público estadual de Santa Catarina, nomeadamente a aderência à profissão, os momentos marcantes da carreira docente, os percursos formativos e profissionais. Participaram do estudo quatro professores de Educação Física com mais de vinte e cinco anos de intervenção profissional no magistério público estadual de Santa Catarina. Na coleta das informações foram utilizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os sujeitos da pesquisa e com alguns de seus colegas de trabalho, além da análise documental. A técnica da análise de conteúdo foi utilizada na análise das informações. As evidências encontradas permitiram verificar motivações semelhantes para o ingresso na profissão Educação Física (interesse pelo esporte) e no magistério público estadual (efetivação profissional), bem como sentimentos diferenciados no que se refere ao abandono da carreira docente. Além disso, a estabilidade profissional e a segurança financeira asseguraram a permanência dos professores no magistério público, durante os anos de docência. No que se refere aos momentos marcantes do percurso profissional docente, evidenciou-se que, enquanto os eventos extraclasses (eventos esportivos, apresentação e coreografias em datas comemorativas, cargos administrativos) destacaram-se entre os melhores momentos, os piores acontecimentos pautaram-se nas condições de trabalho oferecidas, no descontentamento com as políticas educacionais e nas decepções com a classe docente. Apesar dos eventos marcantes terem sido experienciados individualmente, os docentes evidenciaram muitos episódios comuns que são vivenciados no cotidiano escolar, os quais auxiliam na compreensão da carreira docente em Educação Física. Em relação ao percurso formativo, constatou-se que os professores tiveram experiências positivas diversificadas, bem como vivenciaram experiências negativas similares durante suas formações iniciais, como a distância entre suas experiências formativas e a realidade das escolas públicas. Como estratégia de continuidade do percurso formativo, os docentes realizaram cursos de capacitação profissional e de pós-graduação em nível de especialização. A entrada na carreira possibilitou a vivência de sentimentos tanto de sobrevivência quanto de descoberta, sobressaindo-se o choque com a realidade. Em seus percursos profissionais, os entrevistados assumiram cargos comissionados e de confiança nas escolas em que atuavam. O desinvestimento amargo predominou no percurso profissional de apenas um professor, enquanto os demais demonstraram aguardar a aposentadoria de forma mais serena. Finalmente, como expectativas relacionadas à aposentadoria, os professores confirmaram o interesse em desenvolver atividades profissionais diversificadas, não retornando à docência escolar. The aim of this study was to analyse the teaching trajectory in Physical Education at Public Schools in Santa Catarina State, designment the adherence to the profession, outstanding moments of the teaching career, profession and formative ways. 4 Physical Education teachers, who have been teaching at Public Schools in Santa Catarina State for more than 25 years, took part in this study. In addition to documental analysis, semi-structured interviews with the research subjects and some of their workmates were utilized. Content analysis technique was utilized for information analysis. The evidences found allowed verifying motivations similar to the choice in Physical Education profession (interest in sport) and in public schools teaching (professional fulfillment), as well as differentiated feelings in relation to the teaching career withdraw. Furthermore, professional stability and financial security ensured the teachers# permanence at public teaching, during the teaching career period. In relation to the outstanding moments of the teaching career, it was made evidence that while extra classroom activities (sports tournaments, performances and choreographies at commemorative dates, administrative positions), were pointed out among the best moments, while the worst events interlined themselves in the work conditions offered, in dissatisfaction with educational policies and in deceptions with the teaching group.. Although the outstanding events had been experienced individually, teachers made evident many ordinary episodes which are lived at school day to day, which ones helped in the Physical Education teaching career comprehension. Regarding to the formative way, it was observed that the teachers had diversified positive experiences, as well as, they lived negative experiences similar to their initial formation, like the distance among their formative experiences and the public schools reality. As continuity strategy of the formative way, teachers attended professional capacity courses and post graduation in specialization field. The career beginning enabled the experience of as surviving as discovery feelings, stressing the shock with reality. In their professional ways, the interviewees they received activities of reliance at schools they worked. The bitter disinvestment predominated in just one teacher#s professional way, while the others demonstrated waiting their retirement in a more serene manner. Finally, as expectations related to the retirement, teachers confirmed the interest in developing diversified professional activities, not returning to the school teaching
Reescrita de si pelo outro: identidade portuguesa e paródia em Deus-dará, de Alexandra Lucas Coelho / Rewriting oneself through the other: Portuguese identity and parody in Deus-dará, by Alexandra Lucas Coelho
No full textResumo: O artigo aponta o modo como o romance Deus-dará de Alexandra Lucas Coelho, escritora portuguesa contemporânea, pode ser compreendido como um exercício de renegociação da identidade portuguesa em relação a questões referentes à colonização no Brasil. Mais do que isso, problematiza-se como, por meio da estratégia da paródia no texto ficcional, a autora consegue expressar uma necessidade e possibilidade de se redefinir pelo outro em um movimento contrário ao do discurso colonial – o que também ocorre em suas entrevistas e em suas narrativas de viagens, tais como em Vai, Brasil e Cinco Voltas na Bahia e um beijo para Caetano Veloso. Palavras-chave: identidade portuguesa; paródia; pós-modernismo; escrita portuguesa contemporânea; Alexandra Lucas Coelho. Abstract: The article observes how the novel Deus-dará, by Alexandra Lucas Coelho, a Portuguese contemporary writer consists in an exercise of renegotiation for the Portuguese identity in relation to issues that refer to the colonization process in Brazil. Moreover, this text seeks to show how parody as a fictional literary strategy helps the author in expressing a necessity and a possibility of redefining oneself through the other, in a direction that goes in the opposite way of the colonial speech. This necessity and this possibility also appear in the author’s interviews and travel books, such as Vai, Brasil and Cinco Voltas na Bahia e um beijo para Caetano Veloso, which will also be mentioned in this article.Keywords: Portuguese identity; parody; post-modernism; Portuguese contemporary writing; Alexandra Lucas Coelho

Athaliah and Alexandra: Gender and Queenship in Josephus [Author Accepted Manuscript]
No full textAthaliah and Alexandra were the only two women to rule as queens of Judah/Judaea in their own right and both women’s reigns are reported in Josephus’ writings. Despite their uniqueness, however, Athaliah and Alexandra are rarely compared in scholarship; the former is usually dismissed, and focus centred on the latter. This article contends that there are historical similarities between the two, but literary differences. Josephus could have referred to Athaliah or used elements of her portrayal in his presentation of Alexandra but does not, creating the impression that Alexandra was completely different to her predecessor. It may be instructive, therefore, to consider why Josephus literarily isolates the queens and what this means for his interpretation of Alexandra
