Este artigo propõe uma análise exploratória acerca das ações do poder público das cidades brasileiras que compõem a rede UNESCO de Cidades Criativas, na elaboração de ações para auxílio e fomento da economia da cultura durante o isolamento social provocado pela crise sanitária mundial no período da pandemia de corona vírus. Primeiramente, realiza-se a contextualização teórica, discutindo os conceitos de Cidades Criativas e economia da Cultura, apresentando a composição teórica que sustenta o percurso desenvolvido, em seguida analisam-se os dados levantados sobre as cidades brasileiras que compõem a rede, a partir da extração de informações contidas nos endereços eletrônicos das plataformas institucionais das cidades observadas. Por fim, apontam-se considerações que relatam as ações promovidas pelas cidades, retratando diferentes comportamentos do poder público e alguns aspectos que demonstram atuações com baixo impacto no alcance do fomento da economia da cultura durante as dinâmicas transformações do mercado provocadas pelo isolamento social, mas que também refletem a necessidade de uma melhor estrutura de distribuição de recursos e alcance das estratégias de fomento mesmo em condições normais. Este artigo compõe o desenvolvimento de trabalhos interdisciplinares oriundos do programa de mestrado interdisciplinar de Desenvolvimento, Tecnologias e Sociedade da Universidade Federal de Itajubá.
The modern lifestyle has led to an increase in the amount of solid waste in the world, and waste tires are one of the most generated. Annually billions of tons of waste tires are produced, so in this study, we sought to reuse them to make materials for civil construction. For this, a laboratory research was carried out where samples were made in 50 x 100 mm cylinders with traces of 0, 10, 15 and 20% (by weight) of waste, in addition to cement, natural sand and water. The granulometric distribution of waste tires and sand was also carried out. And, with the samples in cylinders, the physical and mechanical properties were evaluated, such as water absorption and apparent density, in addition to the analysis of the mechanical resistance to compression and the modulus of elasticity. The results showed that the granulometric distribution of the tire residue fits as a fine aggregate, similar to the sand granulometry. The water absorption rate of the waste specimens was less than 10%. However, the mechanical resistance decreases proportionally as the amount of tire waste has increased. However, when analyzing the behavior of the stress x strain curves, the specimens containing residues, became more flexible, as they are capable of supporting loads beyond the maximum stress. In this way, the resistance and the ability to absorb energy were increased. We concluded that it is possible to incorporate certain quantities of waste tires in blocks for civil construction, but without a structural function.
Waste pickers are key players within municipal solid waste management and an important link in the recycling chain. Waste pickers perform their activities in precarious conditions: they work in bad weather; run the risk of traffic accidents; come in contact with insects that transmit disease and suffer from weight overload. These conditions are aggravated by the lack of labor rights and guarantees, as well as the instability of income and exploitation in commercial processes receiving derisory prices for materials. In this context, the present research seeks, in an interdisciplinary way, the supply chain management interface with the aspects that constitute the precariousness of the pickers’ work, aiming to identify and foster proposals for infrastructure and supply chain improvements of an association of recyclable waste pickers through dialogue and construction with the workers concerned. For this, the ergonomic work analysis was used for information gathering and diagnosis that will subsidize the construction of a process map through the SIPOC tool. From the documentary analysis of the project, the result of part of the association’s production process was reached, that is, its recovery of recyclables in 2018, which reached a volume of 141,893.7 kg. This study sought to provide moments of reflective discussion with the pickers about the organizational processes of the association, in order to collectively construct proposals that enable better working conditions for them.
The present article originates from a research on technological competition teams from a Public University in the South of Minas Gerais aiming to analyze the relationships between CTS, active methodologies and training of engineers from that University. The methodological path included theoretical research on the historical context that shaped: the political and economic transformations of the 1970s and their educational and scientific and technological implications; The field research carried out qualitative interviews and made visits to the workshops. Individual interviews and a group with students - focus group - and individual interviews with teachers and coordinators of the competition teams were carried out. The form of treatment of the interviews was the content analysis of Bardin. The analysis of the interviews revealed that there is a positive response in the speeches of students and professors regarding a closer relationship between the university and the civil community, in order to generate artifacts and processes aimed at more vulnerable populations. The big question would be ‘how’ to bring these social demands to the academy. We conclude that students are interested in applying the theoretical knowledge they receive at the university in solving real problems, in working in a collaborative and interdisciplinary way, using creativity to build artifacts and to solve social issues and, in this sense, we reached our goal that was to analyze the relationships between Science And Technology And Society (CTS), active methodologies and training of engineers at a University South of Minas Gerais.
