O presente artigo analisa o impacto de ser beneficiário do Programa Bolsa Família do governo federal na decisão de voto na eleição de 2006 e na avaliação atual do Presidente Lula da Silva e contribui para a crescente literatura que explora o impacto desse programa na distribuição de voto em Lula. Contudo, diferentemente de outros estudos, são analisados aqui dados ao nível individual, testando um modelo estatístico multivariado em uma amostra probabilística nacional usando o Barômetro das Américas de 2008. Os resultados indicam um forte impacto de ser beneficiário do programa no voto em Lula e em avaliações positivas de seu desempenho.
This article explores the impact of being a Family Grant Program beneficiary in vote choice for President in the 2006 elections and in Lula da Silva's government evaluations. Therefore, the article contributes to the growing literature on how social programs affect voting behaviour in Brazil. However, differently from all other studies, we use individual level data from the AmericasBarometer 2008 Brazilian round, and multivariate statistical analysis to test our hypotheses. Results indicate that being a recipient of the Family Grant Program positively affects vote for Lula and his administration's evaluations

O artigo trata de percepções da sociedade brasileira sobre o Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) a partir de uma pesquisa realizada em amostra da população. A pesquisa indicou que a população reconhece o Programa e entende que ele está sendo utilizado de forma adequada, mesmo considerando problemas em sua execução. Houve uma importante diferença entre a opinião daqueles que conhecem beneficiários em relação àqueles que não conhecem, sendo que os primeiros se manifestaram de forma mais positiva em relação aos resultados e mais cautelosos em relação às críticas, conclui que o PBF adquiriu legitimidade junto à sociedade brasileira dado o nível de conhecimento da política e mesmo de apoio à sua existência e argumenta sobre a importância de buscar e considerar a opinião da sociedade como importante elemento de avaliação de políticas públicas.
The paper is about perceptions of Brazilian society concerning the cash transfer program Bolsa Família of Brazilian government obtained in a national survey. It indicated that population recognizes the program and understands that it is being used in an appropriated way, even though considering problems in its execution. Important differences occurred in the opinion of those who knew beneficiaries comparing with those who didn't. The first group manifested positive opinion and criticized less then the second. The paper concludes that the program acquired legitimacy in the Brazilian society, considering the knowledge of this policy and supporting its existence. It argues for the importance of searching and considering the public opinion as a fundamental element of public policy assessing

The purpose of this study was twofold: (i) characterize the external and internal training load of professional volleyball players with a focus on intra-week changes and (ii) test the relationships between internal and external load measures. Eight male professional players (age: 23.0±5.22 yo; body mass: 84.5 ± 7.58 kg; height: 193.0±9.71 cm; BMI: 22.0±0.02 kg/m2) were monitored daily over 15 weeks. The monitoring process included both internal (rate of perceived exertion [RPE] and session-RPE [s-RPE]) and external load variables, which were measured by an inertial measurement unit. Results revealed that, within-week variations revealed that RPE was significantly higher during MD-2 (d=0.59) and MD-3 (d=0.56) than MD-1. A significantly higher number of jumps was observed on MD-2 than MD-1 (d=0.69). Considering the relationships between internal and external load measures, small positive correlations were found between RPE and the number of jumps (r=0.17) and between s-RPE and the number of jumps (r=0.49). In conclusion, a tapering strategy was observed on the day before a match, as internal and external loads decreased. Both internal and external load measures are necessary to provide an accurate perception of the impact of training stimuli on players.

RESUMO ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to analyse the game practiced in the side-out Men's Volleyball Superliga 2014/2015. The sample was composed by 12 teams and it was analyzed 142 games, totaling 19,545 reception, setting and attack actions. The results showed the association between the effect of reception and attack location; effect of reception and attack time; effect of reception and attack effect; effect of attack location and attack time; effect of attack location and effect attack and effect of attack time and attack effect. Summarazing, in the high level Brazilian Men's Volleyball, the reception quality influences the attack organization, the determation of setting location and the game strategy. Besides that, the attack score was the most frequent on the game analisys, with higher indices of attack from position 3. Keywords: Game analysis. Volleyball. Side-out. IntroduçãoA análise do jogo assume um importante papel no desenvolvimento de diversas modalidades esportivas coletivas, apresentando-se como um fator determinante na escolha de indicadores pertinentes acerca da prestação dos jogadores em contextos específicos 1 . Além disso, tem como finalidade preparar a equipe para o confronto com o adversário, melhorar a qualidade de treinamento e analisar a estrutura do jogo 2 . No Voleibol, a análise de jogo, no que diz respeito aos efeitos dos procedimentos que o constituem (saque, recepção, levantamento, ataque, bloqueio e defesa), não é recente. O jogo é caracterizado por dois complexos: o complexo I (KI) ou side-out que consiste na sequência de ações formada pela recepção, levantamento e ataque e o Complexo II (KII) ou transição, que é determinado pela sequência de ações formada pelo saque, bloqueio, defesa e contra-ataque 3 . Ao comparar os complexos de jogo, observa-se que o side-out é o complexo de jogo que mais pontua 4 e permite o ataque efetivo logo após a recepção ao serviço do adversário 5 .

The aims of this study were: (i) to describe weekly variations of acute load (AL), acute:chronic workload ratio, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and fatigue; (ii) to analyze variations of weekly workload and well-being in three periods of the season (P1, P2, and P3); and (iii) to analyze the relationships between workload and well-being measures. Fifteen professional basketball players from a first-league European club were monitored throughout the season using the CR-10 Borg scale and the Hooper questionnaire. Weekly AL and acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR) were weekly calculated for monitoring of the internal load. In addition, DOMS and fatigue values were weekly calculated. Greater AL, DOMS, and fatigue values were found during the early season, and the highest ACWR value was found during the second period. Overall, AL presented large correlations with DOMS (r=0.60) and fatigue (r=0.62). The results of this study indicate that load is higher in the first period and then decreases throughout the season. The results also showed that AL is more closely related to well-being parameters than ACWR.

The objective of this study was to identify how the ecological variables influence the setter during the setting and what were the predictive factors of the attack effect among Brazilian teams ranked from the 1st to 4th place in the volleyball Women’s Super-League in 2016-2017. We analyzed 768 attacks from 10 matches played among the teams. A descriptive analysis was performed and, to identify how the setting location differed in relation to the ecological variables, the One-Way ANOVA (factor 1 = setting location) was used. In addition, multinomial logistic regression was performed to understand the predictive factors of the effect of the attack. The significance level was set at 5% (p≤.05) and the SPSS software version 20.0 was used. The results showed the setting location differed according to the distance between the setter and the central attacker, the distance between the setter and the central blocker, and the distance between the setter and the blocker of position 4. Besides, it was observed that the powerful attack and the blocking touch were predictive factors of the effect of the attack. Thus, it is concluded that the decision-making for the action of the setting is based on the availability of the central attacker and the configuration of the blockers, the powerful attack reduces the chances of defense and the blocking touch reduces the chances of scoring by attacking.

The Health Educational Program for Children (5-day camp and the 12 weeks of follow up) contributed to an increase in the physical activity level and a reduction in the sedentary behaviour and anthropometric measures in overweight and obese children.

IntroduçãoO presente artigo tem como objetivo redimensionar o conceito de Cultura Política para a sua melhor utilização na realidade latino-americana. Parte do princípio de que um conceito, para ser entendido como tal, precisa ser universal, no sentido de ser aplicável a todas as situações em que for necessário. No entanto, se nenhuma ciência é neutra, as Ciências Sociais, e especificamente a Ciência Política, em função dos seus objetos e da suas naturezas, são particularmente sensíveis ao ambiente sociopolítico. É o que se vê no referido conceito. Ao ter sido construído no auge da Guerra Fria, o conceito de Cultura Política incorporou toda a carga ideológica de então, constituindo-se em um perfeito fruto do seu Se, no entanto, houve um significativo crescimento do uso de pesquisas de Cultura Política em nível internacional, o mesmo não se pode dizer em relação ao debate teórico sobre o conceito propriamente dito, que, no mais das vezes, limitou-se à discussão da sua relação com a democracia. Assim, uma etapa necessária para a consolidação do conceito
