Adelmo Genro Filho e a teoria do jornalismo no Brasil: uma análise crítica
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2015.A afirmação de Adelmo Genro Filho, em "O Segredo da Pirâmide: para uma teoria marxista do jornalismo", de que o jornalismo é uma forma de conhecimento cristalizada no singular mobilizou jornalistas, pesquisadores e professores nos últimos 27 anos para instituição e legitimidade das teorias do jornalismo no Brasil. Com o arcabouço teórico e filosófico da Ontologia Crítica de Marx e Lukács, este estudo expõe as mediações presentes na produção e recepção da teoria, bem como os conceitos filosóficos que fundamentam a assertiva de Genro Filho. O trabalho divide-se em duas partes interdependentes. Na primeira, são trabalhadas as principais questões que se impunham para o jornalismo brasileiro nos anos 1980 (com ênfase para a formação acadêmica, a escrita jornalística e a hierarquia dos profissionais), a biografia do autor e o modo como o livro foi recepcionado pelos professores e pesquisadores em jornalismo no Brasil. A segunda parte reconstitui as bases filosóficas do livro, recuperando o entendimento ontológico do autor e o modo como esses fundamentos otimizam sua compreensão do jornalismo como forma de conhecimento. O objetivo é o de demonstrar como as escolhas teóricas do autor possuem estreita ligação com sua biografia e o modo como ele compreendia as questões de sua época. Ao passo que, por meio de análise do modo de recepção do livro, foi possível estabelecer uma cartografia da produção brasileira com base em 411 textos que citam "O Segredo da Pirâmide", evidenciando que o processo de institucionalização para a defesa do jornalismo como profissão, graduação especializada e com teorias específicas coincide com esse mapa. Paradoxalmente, demonstra-se que o processo de recepção do livro se faz acompanhar de uma negação da peculiar base marxista que o fundamenta, o que motiva o estudo detalhado das categorias utilizadas por Genro Filho.Abstract : In the book ?O Segredo da Pirâmide: para uma teoria marxista do jornalismo" [?The Secret of the Pyramid: for a Marxist theory of journalism"], Adelmo Genro Filho stated that journalism is a form of knowledge that is crystallized in the singular. This statement has mobilized journalists, researchers and professors over the last 27 years for the institution and legitimacy of theories of journalism in Brazil. With the theoretical and philosophical framework of Critical Ontology of Marx and Lukács, this study exposes the mediations present in the production and reception of the theory and the philosophical concepts that ground the Genro Filho's statement. The work is divided into two interdependent parts. At first, the text brings the main issues that were necessary to the Brazilian journalism in the 1980s (with emphasis on the academic, journalistic writing and the hierarchy of professionals), the author's biography and how the book was received by professors and researchers on journalism in Brazil. The second part reconstitutes the philosophical bases of the book, recovering the ontological understanding of the author towards journalism and how those fundamentals optimize the understanding of journalism as a form of knowledge proposed by the author. The objective was to demonstrate how the author's theoretical choices have close connection with his biography and how he understood the issues of his time. Simultaneously, through the analysis about the book's reception, it was possible to establish a cartography of the Brazilian production based on 411 texts mentioning "The Secret of the Pyramid", evidencing that the process of institutionalization for the defense of journalism as a profession, specialized graduation and with specific theories coincides with that map. Paradoxically, it is demonstrated that the book's reception process is accompanied by a denial of peculiar Marxist basis underlying it, which motivates the detailed study of the categories used by Genro Filho

Pooled analysis of recent studies on magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia
No full textBACKGROUND: Previous pooled analyses have reported an association between magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia. We present a pooled analysis based on primary data from studies on residential magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia published after 2000. METHODS: Seven studies with a total of 10 865 cases and 12 853 controls were included. The main analysis focused on 24-h magnetic field measurements or calculated fields in residences. RESULTS: In the combined results, risk increased with increase in exposure, but the estimates were imprecise. The odds ratios for exposure categories of 0.1-0.2 mu T, 0.2-0.3 mu T and >= 0.3 mu T, compared with <0.1 mu T, were 1.07 (95% Cl 0.81-1.41), 1.16 (0.69-1.93) and 1.44 (0.88-2.36), respectively. Without the most influential study from Brazil, the odds ratios increased somewhat. An increasing trend was also suggested by a nonparametric analysis conducted using a generalised additive model. CONCLUSIONS: Our results are in line with previous pooled analyses showing an association between magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia. Overall, the association is weaker in the most recently conducted studies, but these studies are small and lack methodological improvements needed to resolve the apparent association. We conclude that recent studies on magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia do not alter the previous assessment that magnetic fields are possibly carcinogenic.

D. Sinhá e o filho padre
No full textRESUMO
Artigo publicado em O Estado de São Paulo de 29 de maio de 1965. O efeito que alguns livros podem causar em termos de aceitação excede muitas vezes os seus próprios limites. Será o caso deste D. Sinhá e o filho padre, de Gilberto Freyre, obra de ficção. Nele, o principal elemento de dispersão reside na figura do autor solidamente aureolada num terreno estranho à ficção. A história relata a figura de um seminarista, e sua relação com um ex-colega de colégio, colocando as questões do homossexualismo, das distorções, trazidas por uma educação mal orientada, uma formação católica um tanto caricatural, numa atmosfera propícia ao agravamento de tais problemas.
ABSTRACT

Article published in O Estado de São Paulo May 29 th, 1965. The effect that some books may cause in terms of acception, exceeds sometimes their own limits. This D. Sinhá e o filho padre by Gilberto Freyre is a fiction work. In this book the main element of dispersion is in the figure of the Author firmly wrapped up in a field which is strange to the fiction. The story reports the figure of a seminarist, and his relation with an exfellow of school, showing the problem of homosexualism, the distortions which were brought due to a badly oriented education, a catholic formation a little caricatural one, in an atmosphere supposed to be opportune to the aggravation of such problems.

Il met en évidence les questions d’homosexualité, des distorsions determinées par une éducation mal orientée, une formation catholique caricaturelle dans une atmosphère favorable à l’accroissement de tels problèmes
Gift Young Engineers: An Extra-Curricular Initiative for Updating Computer and Electrical Engineering Courses
No full textThe curricula of engineering courses are well defined by the central government for all Brazilian universities. Indeed, there are some mandatory determinations that must be fulfilled prior to the accreditation of any engineering course in Brazil. Modifications must be submitted for evaluation beforehand, resulting in a process that sometimes takes years to be approved. That is a secure way to guarantee that the fundamentals of each engineering program will be part of the students’ carrier all over the country, and at the same time a problem when you need to introduce new technological subjects. That poses a problem when you have new demands for technological curricular components that could express the actual state of the art of modern subjects. Trying to solve these issues some professors from the Federal University of Amazonas developed a flexible extra-curricular program for electrical and computer engineering courses, named Gift Young Engineers. This paper describes the philosophy of these extra-curricular programs. Some examples of successful particular partnerships are also discussed. Indeed the proposed training programs for Digital TV Systems (hardware and software) will be presented and analyzed in details. The obtained results will also be discussed in order to contribute to similar experiences worldwide
