Ruth McQuown Co-chairman: Dr. Thomas Page Major Department: Political Science The central problem of the study is the determination of Brazil's reactions to the enierging states of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East and its quantification in transaction flow terminology, with an analysis and evaluation of these relations in comparison to Brazil's older, strongly established ties to Western Europe, the United States, and Latin America. This involves a chronological account of relations during the period, an inquiry into the images which different sectors of national opinion have held about Afro-Asia and Brazil's role there, and the application of statistical measures of interaction between nations from ; the Dimensionality of Nations Project to ascertain the relative importance of Afro- Asia in the global range of Brazilian foreign policy through time and to isolate three of the most salient states (Japan, Israel, and India) for case studies. Economic relations with Afro-Asia are covered in trade analysis and studies of interaction in UNCTAD and competition in coffee and cocoa. Political conflicts with Afro-Asia are explored in policy differences over anti-colonialism, Portuguese Africa, and South Africa. Changing policy toward Afro-Asia is explained in terms of changes in regime, conflicting images of the role of Brazil in the global system, and cross-pressures arising from Brazil's cross-cutting and only partially inclusive multiple memberships in five political, economic; and cultural groups: Latin America, VVestern Hemisphere, Western Community, Group of 11 , and the Luso-Brazilian Community. Overlapping conflicts and contradictory demands arising from these several member- ships result in what may appear to be vacillation or incoherence when judged from a single standard but which is explained by the fact that Brazil is neither fully committed to any single membership nor highly polarized by only highly congruent memberships. Brazilian political and economic interests thus converge with and diverge from those upon which the Afro-Asian bloc has struck a consensus in much more subtle ways than^the mere grouping of Brazil with Afro-Asia as a "developing, " "Southern, " or ''Third World" state would suggest. Within limits of priority imposed by the relatively low salience which Afro-Asia has for Brazil, a summary of current Brazilian goals in these developing regions out:ude the Western Hemisphere can be drawn up as follov/s. 1. Increase in trade relations, involving preferably the exchange of manufactured products for raw materials to be used in . Brazil's new industries; otlierwise the general expansion of all types of sales to new markets. 2. Defense of national economic interests in competition in primary commodities, notably coffee, cocoa, sugar, and cotton, including persuasion for African states associated with the Common Market to either yield or universalize their tariff preferences there. 3. Encouragement of solidarity among developing countries to negotiate as a group with the developed states for the reversal of unfavorable terms of trade and other economic concessions sought by the Group of 11 4. Preservation of Portuguese language and culture in Africa to serve as a facilitator for a future Brazilian presence on that continent, under the supposition that the Portuguese territories will eventually achieve independence and that Brazil, while not meddling in Lisbon's internal affairs, should do everything possible to make this emancipation relatively pain- less and of a nature to ensure the continuation of Portuguese language and culture rather than alienation from them on the part of the Africans. 5.

The disillusioned and enlightened writer, who built the narrative factory of “Os Sertões”, at different levels and in various plans, intends to demonstrate how the republican journalist and admirer of the national army took place. A government and a society that had its eyes on Europe, questioning the barbaric way of acting against the alleged barbarism in the name of civilization, first appeared in Brazil at the book of Euclides da Cunha. There are more than condemnation of a massacre and the revelation of the Brazilian interior's misery: the powerful strength of this book is revealed in a new interpretation of Brazil, able to put the concept of nation in another political perspective. Therefore, this work aims to show how the finished work and the ultimate political and intellectual activity of Euclides da Cunha's book “Os Sertões”.

    UNIVERSITY OF TAMPERE School of Management FOSTERING WORK ENGAGEMENT THROUGH DEDICATION: CASE RAMBOLL Management and Organization Master’s thesis May 2014 Supervisor: Arja Ropo Valtteri Kuntsi ABSTRACT University of Tampere School of Management, Management and Organization Author: KUNTSI, VALTTERI Title: Fostering work engagement through dedication: Case Ramboll Master’s thesis: 164 pages, 5 appendix pages Date: May 2014 Keywords: work engagement, dedication, job resources, personal resources, occupational well-being The present case study had two main objectives: the first objective was to determine what the prerequisites of work engagement are among the case company’s consultants and the second objective was to determine how the supervisors of these consultants foster work engagement through their actions. The case company was Ramboll Finland Ltd. which is a part of an international corporation called Ramboll Group. The company offers engineering, design, and consultancy services relating to buildings, transport, environment, energy, oil, gas, and management consulting. Work engagement can be defined as a positive and fulfilling work-related state of mind that is characterized by vigor, dedication and absorption. In this study, dedication was presumed to be the prerequisite of vigor and absorption and thus the main component of work engagement. A dedicated employee is strongly involved in his or her work and experiences a sense of significance, enthusiasm, inspiration, pride, and challenge. The research data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five consultants and five supervisors working in the case company’s office in Tampere. The case company’s job satisfaction inquiry from the year 2012 was also utilized as an additional source of information.

    Guardados da Memória Casa Grande & Senzala* Afonso Arinos de Melo Franco Quinto ocupante da Cadeira 25 na Academia Brasileira de Letras. ma das coisas que mais impressionam na crítica brasileira é Ua sua irresponsabilidade. Qualquer moço, bem ou mal in- tencionado, senta-se à mesa com o livro à frente, e assegura coisas in- cisivas, enfáticas e peremptórias, a propósito do volume, que não leu, e do autor, que não conhece. Parece-me que este hábito vem do jornalismo, que é, também, feito dentro da mesma escola. Os que se ocupam da crítica são, em geral, jornalistas e herdam da profissão a ligeireza, a ousadia e a irresponsabilidade, advindas do anonimato. Se um mequetrefe incompetente pode combater um programa fi- nanceiro, um tratado internacional, um plano de estrada de ferro, com a mais ingênua das insolências, porque não poderá, também, julgar um livro, demolindo-o ou endeusando-o, segundo o seu capricho? Daí, a confusão absoluta de categorias e de níveis no julgamento das nossas produções literárias. Os mesmos adjetivos, as mesmas * FRANCO, Afonso Arinos de Melo.

  • The Problem of Professional Burnout in Stress Management
    SHS Web of Conferences 28, 01132 (2016) DOI: 10.1051/shsconf/20162801132 RPTSS 2015 The problem of professional burnout in stress management Natalia Rkasheva1, Julia Makasheva2,a, Anna Gromova3, Sergey Ishtunov4, and Boris Burykhin5 1,2,3.4 Tomsk Polytechnic University, 634050 Lenin Avenue, 30, Tomsk, Russia 5Tomsk State University, 634050 Lenin Avenue, 36, Tomsk, Russia Abstract. The problem of professional burnout is extremely relevant in current stress management. By its nature, professional burnout is a unique type of stress syndrome that is characterized by emotional exhaustion. It leads to loss of energy and interest in one’s job. A burnout could be the result of such syndromes as – burnout and boreout. It could emerge as the reaction of the organism to the high working intensity and stress working conditions or due to the boredom and absence of the sphere for professional realization. Both syndromes negatively influence the professional activity and require serious research and an adequate approach to the study. Studies have been conducted in the higher educational environment and among production employees. The studies were conducted with the application of the existing tests for revealing the “boreout” and “burnout” syndromes. Studies have shown that the syndrome “burnout” is common among workers with free working regulations, whose work requires greater independence, initiative and responsibility. According to the results of the study, the employees who are more free in the performance of their professional duties (teachers, managers) are less subjected to the boreout syndrome. For the prevention and control of professional burnout company management needs to apply the achievements of stress management.

  • O Antirracismo Da Ordem No Pensamento De Afonso Arinos De Melo Franco
    O antirracismo da ordem no pensamento de Afonso Arinos de Melo Franco Monica Grin* Marcos Chor Maio** RESUMO Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o contexto de elaboração e promulgação da primeira lei contra a discriminação racial no Brasil, de autoria do deputado Afonso Arinos de Melo Franco, no início dos anos 1950. Trata-se de explorar as diferentes formas de recepção da lei; sua tramitação no Congresso; o debate racial em curso e, por fim, o sentido e justificação que Arinos confere à lei. Partimos da hipóte - se de que, ao transformar o preconceito racial em objeto de contravenção, sob penas da lei, Arinos procurou esvaziar politicamente a questão racial ao deslocá-la para o plano da moral. A luta contra o racismo, traduzida nos termos de um imperativo ético, inspirado na tradicional visão de um país racialmente harmônico, teria a função de evitar a crescente atmosfera de tensão racial, mais do que de reconhecer as demandas sociopolíticas do movimento negro. Palavras-chave: Lei Afonso Arinos; antirracismo; preconceito racial; movimento negro; Congresso Nacional; debate racial pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial. ABSTRACT This article analyzes the context in which the first bill against racial discrimination in Brazil, proposed by Representative Afonso Arinos de Melo Franco in the early 1950s, was formulated and approved. It explores the law’s diverse reception; its trajectory in Congress; the contemporary racial debate; and, finally, the meaning and justification of the bill, according to Arinos. By turning racial prejudice into a criminal matter, with legal punishment, Arinos sought to shift the racial question from a political debate to a moral issue.

  • A Belo Horizonte Do Amanuense: a Relação Entre Literatura E Cidade No Romance O Amanuense Belmiro
    A Belo Horizonte do amanuense: a relação entre literatura e cidade no romance O Amanuense Belmiro Alex Alves Fogal Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais 1 s estudos que privilegiam as relações entre literatura e cidade deixam visível como a extrema complexidade da vida e a O organização sócio-espacial configurada pela divisão do trabalho, fizeram com que os ficcionistas que de algum modo retrataram a cidade moderna, o fizessem de maneira que a reproduzissem como estilo. Ou seja, tornou-se inviável a representação da vida urbana como uma totalidade homogênea, pois tal objeto não pode mais ser visto como uma unidade, uma vez que sua estrutura apresenta sinais profundos de fragmentação e dinamismo. A partir do momento em que o escritor toma essa consciência pode- se dizer que não se busca mais estabelecer um olhar de experiência objetiva sobre a cidade, mas sim focalizar as experiências mantidas em relação a essa. Aqui não se trata mais da cidade concreta, mas sim da idéia ou imagem construída a partir dela, colocando assim o conceito de representação como reconstrução de significado. Tal reestruturação da imagem da cidade pelo viés da ficção se constitui como um dispositivo de suma importância, já que pretendo analisar no presente texto como tal processo de representação literária do espaço urbano ocorre entre a obra O Amanuense Belmiro (1937) do escritor 49 A Belo Horizonte do amanuense:...

Tal investida privilegiará a capital mineira tal como narrada no romance pelo burocrata Belmiro Borba em suas andanças pelo centro e bairros da cidade, o que nos levará a uma perspectiva do espaço diferenciada, na qual a cidade não é vista apenas como um sistema urbano com suas casas, sua história, sua topografia e sua demografia.

  • Em Nome Do Pai: Evandro Chagas E a Ciência De Manguinhos Na Amazônia Na Década De 1930
    Em nome do pai: Evandro Chagas e a ciência de Manguinhos na Amazônia na década de 1930 In the name of the father: Evandro Changas and the science of Manguinhos in 1930s Amazon DANIELLE CRISTINA DOS SANTOS BARRETO Secretaria de Educação do Rio de Janeiro SIMONE PETRAGLIA KROPF Casa de Oswaldo Cruz | COC/Fiocruz RESUMO Este artigo analisa a trajetória de Evandro Chagas no Instituto de Patologia Experimental do Norte (IPEN), criado por ele em 1936 em Belém do Pará. O pesquisador do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz e filho mais velho do renomado cientista Carlos Chagas tinha por objetivo implantar na Amazônia um centro de pesquisa e en- 6 sino em medicina tropical capaz de subsidiar os órgãos estadual e federal de saúde no combate aos problemas sanitários mais relevantes na região, como a leishmaniose visceral e a malária. Evandro Chagas mobilizou seu capital científico e social para estabelecer no norte do país a tradição institucional de Manguinhos da qual seu pai e a doença que leva seu nome haviam sido um emblema. Entretanto, isso se deu num cenário em que os novos atores e estruturas político-institucionais criadas em 1930 impunham transformações expressivas no campo da saúde pública e no próprio arcabouço institucional do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Ao acompanharmos as negociações e conflitos vividos pelo cientista nesse empreendimento, esperamos contribuir para a compreensão dos processos de institucionalização da ciência e da saúde pública na chamada era Vargas. Palavras-chave Evandro Chagas – Instituto de Patologia Experimental do Norte – Instituto Oswaldo Cruz – medicina tropical – saúde pública ABSTRACT The article analyzes Evandro Chagas’s role at the Institute of Experimental Pathology of the North (IPEN), founded by him in 1936 in Belém, Pará.
