The present dissertation made a study of case about media s covering over the paulista s government elections of 2002. Therefore, we made use of the newspapers Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo in two specific dimensions of bibliographical analysis: 1) the impact of medias on political representation and electoral debate; and 2) the centrality of mass media in the contemporary democratic societies. The central analytical presuppositions used here in order to understand the degree of neutrality, the independence of those medias and its covering strategies, were the conceptions of frame and agenda-setting function, which admit the unintentional power of the mass communication agents in their work of presentation and qualification of subjects that people will transform as public debate s object for a certain period of time. After the analysis of the data collected during the four months that had preceded the elections, it was observed that those pointed out that both periodicals: a) carry different standards of communicating the news; b) display all competitive candidates equally; c) develop an electoral thematic universe which transpass the dispute limits; d) give limits range of news and tend not to interpret those when the subject is approached.

Our aim is to investigate the complex process of learning football in Brazil. The focus of our analysis will be an average size city in São Paulo countryside. Usually, this learning process is related to essential factors which are linked to the representations of playing typically brazilian football, that means a natural gift. Which is completely different from the process that is symbolically and materially built. We will focus our discussion in the phenomenon of the football schools , both the public and the private ones, as an example of co-participation in this process. The origin of these football schools in the seventies and eighties brought different conceptions about the way of playing, learning and representing football in the country. On the other hand, it increased the investments in social policies of leisure related to the youth. While we tried to understand this process, making use of theoretical instruments of Social Science, we could comprehend an important part of the sport sociability spread in some brazilian urban centers.

Of this form, the pentecostalismo if constitutes how much it saw alternative to the excluded individuals either finding an access to modernity either to the rescue of auto-esteem. The electoral process in allows them to verify the "desprivatização " of the pentecostais groups when producing new signs by means of the border politics and symbolic in which they fulfill the paper of expression of the group. Its articuladores if appropriate of religious goods and they associate them with the system of prestige and power. After that, they develop a new way to see the connection politics and religion, therefore they start to negotiate a new space front to the other social groups. The analyzed process if relates to the contextualização of the politics-religious career of pentecostais candidates e, respectively, the electoral strategies of the churches Assembly of Deus, Church of Evangelho Quadrangular and Universal Church of the Kingdom of Deus.

The analysis of the trajectory of the jurists in the period between 1964 and 1969 requires the identification of diverse chains of the same jurists. Three main chains of jurists in this period had been identified the authoritarian, the liberal and the nationalists jurists. For this analysis it took in consideration the position and ideas politicians of each one of the chains. After that, it was searched to identify the trajectory of each one of the groups, in special the observation of the increasing hegemony of the chain of authoritarian jurists, that directly remained in contact with the military governments after April of 1964. While the construction of a new government happened, the performance of the authoritarian jurists became more frequently, permitting a great debate with the idea of the other group of jurists the liberal. The performance of the authoritarian chain occurred in reason much more of the necessity of internal control to the military sphere than in relation to the manifestations of the society.

This case study had the aim of analyzing the interaction between the Executive and the Legislative powers in the municipal district of Araraquara in two periods; 1997 to 1999 during the government of Waldemar de Santi, from PPB party , and 2001 to 2003 government of Edson Antonio da Silva, from PT party. Based on the neoinstitutional theoretical approach and supported by legislative studies of the three political spheres, the present study focused on observing the councilmen behavior adopted in the recent decisional process of Araraquara, evaluating the political-institutional relationship, as well as the partisan variable. To this end, quantitative and qualitative analyses are taken together. The submissive behavior of Legislative in the legal production showed a pathway that reproduces evidences found in other studies in several levels of government. However, in the second moment studied it was noticed that a space was given to improve the instances of the City Hall Commission Studies case , at the same time that the agenda power and the relevance of the Executive proposals increased

This master thesis analyses the interplay of political powers in Brazilian Legislative chambers, during Lula s government. It considers the point of view of the parties and the interests present on budget and fiscal disputes between Federal Executive power and State Executive powers. It is considered that, as a representative and supervisory institute, the Legislative chambers offer the possibility of politic interactions between Executive power, governors and parties. The analysis follows eight budget initiatives, being four of Crédito Extraordinário (Extraordinary Credit) and four of Auxílio Financeiro (Financial Aid), made through Medidas Provisórias (Provisory Measures) by the Executive power in benefit of States, towns and cities, after some partial constitutional modifications, known as the Amendment n° 32, were implemented. After the identification of the gaps existing both in studies that stress the centralization of legislative works and studies that emphasize the individual and regional members of parliament s behavior, this study stresses the need for initiatives of the Executive power that consider the tributary increase of other government instances. It is argued that the Executive can, strategically, co-ordinate his initiatives with the other government instances in an interactive way, to strengthen the Federal Government and to promote modifications in the current model of fiscal exaction. The analysis of the data shows that the Executive power, in spite of assuming the need for a reformulation of the fiscal model, avoids the influence of the Legislative power, particularly that of the Senate, driving bigger resources for Crédito Extraordinário, in detriment of Auxílio Financeiro. It concludes that the difficulties found by the Executive power to approve a new model of fiscal exaction in the Legislative chambers can be associated with little influence of the government party (PT) on state governments.

O presente trabalho complementa e integra o projeto bilateral entre o Brasil e o Canadá denominado A Pesca Continental no Brasil: Modo de vida e conservação sustentável . Esse trabalho se propõe fazer um estudo sobre gênero e meio ambiente no rio. De um lado tem-se um ambiente em risco - o rio que morre. De outro, um grupo de famílias de pescadores que se organizam para sobreviver a partir dos recursos desse meio. Nessa organização, diferenciam-se os papéis do homem e da mulher. As relações entre homens e mulheres no rio, sugerem que o conceito de gênero associado ao de meio ambiente podem permitir um importante avanço na compreensão das condições de vida da população envolvida. É dentro da perspectiva, que este artigo se pauta, tentando a partir da representação de meio ambiente, compreender as relações de gênero e as visões de meio ambiente que se estabelecem no seio das comunidades de pescadores (as) do Rio São Francisco. A amostra da pesquisa compreende homens e mulheres pescadores que habitam ao longo do trecho mineiro do alto-médio Rio São Francisco. Utiliza-se como processo metodológico a memória, pois ela configura-se um dos caminhos possíveis para a descoberta os processos de desenraizamento social e cultural e, por conseguinte, para a redefinição dos projetos que articulam o passado, presente e futuro. As imagens fotográficas também são utilizadas como recurso metodológico, pois contextualizam o problema e ampliam o olhar do pesquisador

The brown sugar is a sweetener with nutritional characteristics, obtained directly from the concentration of sugarcane juice freshly extracted. Its production does not require usage of any chemical additives, so that it is preserved most of the original constituents of sugarcane, without any exogenous substances. This makes this product having a higher nutritional quality thau crystal sugar or refined. To evaluate the influence of fertilization, organic and conventional, in sugarcane and muscovado sugar, it was conducted an experience with six fertilization systems in randomized complete block with four replications. The canes were analyzed and later or were produced muscovado sugars that were analyzed for their physico-chemical and sensorial quality. The physico-chemical analyzes comprised the following parameters: sucrose (pol), Brix, purity, reducing sugars (AR), total reducing sugars (ART), fiber, amino acids, phenolics, potassium, pH, acidity, ash and moisture. For sensory analysis it was used the Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA) by nineteen tasters. A vi preference test with 50 consumers was also performed rating a hedonic scale of 9 points. The results showed that the different fertilization systems did not influenced the physico-chemical quality of the cane. Only phenolic content showed statistical differences for different treatments. These differences, however, are very small. Regarding the physico-chemical and sensorial qualities of the sugar, despite some differences, all treatments provided sugars with good acceptance. It is noteworthy that the organic system seeks a better environmental balance bringing social and long lasting sustainable benefits.
