O empreendedorismo como uma ideologia neoliberal

Abstract: Resumo Este ensaio critico tem como objetivo geral compreender a vertente neoliberal dos discursos do empreendedorismo e sua funcao de camuflagem da realidade das relacoes entre trabalho e capital. Baseando-se no pressuposto de que os discursos do empreendedorismo sao depositarios de uma ideologia neoliberal, analisa-se o desenvolvimento historico do conceito e do seu campo de estudo; qualifica-se o carater neoliberal do empreendedorismo; caracteriza-se o aparato teorico que sustenta e dissemina o empreendedorismo. O estudo conclui, criticamente, que o discurso do empreendedorismo isenta o Estado da responsabilidade de garantir minimas condicoes de vida para os trabalhadores, colocando-os como responsaveis pelo seu sucesso ou fracasso, independentemente da importância das variaveis do contexto social.

Estudos de caso no ensino da administração: o erro construtivo libertador como caminho para inserção da pedagogia crítica

Abstract: Neste artigo, partiu-se do pressuposto de que o erro construtivo, como hipotese a respeito de um determinado conhecimento, e uma forma provisoria de saber que coloca em questao a ideia de que o acerto ocorre quando ha exata correspondencia com a resposta prevista pelo educador, o que frequentemente impoe obstaculos a reflexao e a capacidade criativa. Como contraponto, buscou-se analisar como casos de fracasso e suas distintas formas de aplicacao podem contribuir para uma experiencia formativa diferenciada dos alunos. Recorreu-se entao a metodologia de construcao de casos de ensino, que foram baseados em pesquisa empirica com informantes-chave das organizacoes investigadas, complementada por dados secundarios. Em uma segunda etapa, aplicaram-se os casos elaborados em diferentes situacoes de ensino-aprendizagem, e, com esses semiexperimentos pedagogicos, avaliou-se a efetividade dos casos de fracasso comparativamente aos casos de sucesso e as variadas possibilidades de aplicacao destes. Os semiexperimentos realizados apontaram para o fato de que as seguintes variaveis podem influenciar nos resultados obtidos com a utilizacao do metodo: a forma como o caso e redigido; o metodo de aplicacao (restritivo ou nao restritivo); a disciplina em que e aplicado; o professor que leciona a disciplina; o conhecimento ou previo contato dos principais conceitos teoricos sobre o tema abordado; e o conhecimento das praticas e metodos de estudos de caso. Assim, concluiu-se que a utilizacao do metodo do caso no ensino em Administracao e mais complexa do que em geral se considera, especialmente se a intencao e de fato estimular o pensamento critico. Para futuras pesquisas, recomendamos a realizacao de mais experimentos com os metodos de aplicacao de estudo de caso descritos, de modo a explorar mais os resultados obtidos com o metodo nao restritivo, especialmente no que se refere a insercao do erro construtivo libertador como caminho para a pedagogia critica no ensino da Administracao.

Development and validation a task-specific checklist for a microsurgical varicocelectomy simulation model.

Abstract: Purpose: To develop and validate a new test of specific technical skills required for microsurgical varicocelectomy. Materials and Methods: An electronic questionnaire was sent to 558 members of the Brazilian Society of Urology for the validation of the task-specific checklist (TSC) for assessment of microsurgical varicocelectomy. Participants who had experience in this procedure were selected as judges. For construct validation, 12 participants including attending urologists and urological residents in training were recruited for voluntary participation. We formed a group of three experts and a group of nine novices, who had to perform the steps of microsurgical varicocelectomy on a simulation model using human placenta. Each participant was filmed and two blinded raters would then evaluate their performance using the TSC of microsurgical varicocelectomy. Results: 14 judges were recruited. The assessment tool was reformulated, according to the judges suggestions and had the content validity achieved. The final version of the TSC was comprised of the task-specific score, a series of 4 items scored in a binary fashion designed for microscopic sub-inguinal varicocelectomy. The differences between the performance of participants with different levels of experience reflected the construct validity. The reliability between the raters was high. The mean time required to complete the training of microsurgical varicocelectomy in simulation model was significantly shorter for experts compared to novices (201 vs. 496 seconds, p=0.01). Conclusions: This preliminary study suggests that the task-specific checklist of microsurgical varicocelectomy is reliable and valid in assessing microsurgical skills.

The Achieving Society

Abstract: Examines the motivation for achievement as a psychological factor that shapes economic development. Refuting arguments based on race, climate, or population growth, the book instead argues for cultural customs and motivations - especially the motivation for achievement - as the major catalysts of economic growth. Considering the Protestant Reformation, the rise of capitalism, parents' influences on sons, and folklore and children's stories as shaping cultural motivations for achievement, the book hypothesizes that a high level of achievement motivation precedes economic growth. This is supported through qualitative analysis of the achievement motive, as well as of other psychological factors - including entrepreneurial behavior and characteristics, and available sources of achievement in past and present highly achieving societies. It is the achievement motive - and not merely the profit motive or the desire for material gain - that has advanced societies economically. Consequently, individuals are not merely products of their environment, as many social scientists have asserted, but also creators of the environment, as they manipulate it in various ways in the search for achievement. Finally, a plan is hypothesized to accelerate economic growth in developing countries, by encouraging and supplementing their achievement motives through mobilizing the greater achievement resources of developed countries. The conclusion is not just that motivations shape economic progress, but that current influences on future people's motivations and values will determine economic growth in the long run. Thus, it is most beneficial for a society to concentrate its resources on creating an environment conducive to entrepreneurship and a strong ideological base for achievement. (CJC)

Superiority of living animal models in microsurgical training: beyond technical expertise

Abstract: Many studies are investigating the role of living and nonliving models to train microsurgeons. There is controversy around which modalities account for the best microsurgical training. In this study, we aim to provide a systematic literature review of the practical modalities in microsurgery training and compare the living and nonliving models, emphasizing the superiority of the former. We introduce the concept of non-technical skill acquisition in microsurgical training with the use of living laboratory animals in the context of a novel proposed curriculum. A literature search was conducted on PubMed/Medline and Scopus within the past 11 years based on a combination of the following keywords: “microsurgery,” “training,” “skills,” and “models.” The online screening process was performed by two independent reviewers with the Covidence tool. A total of 101 papers was identified as relevant to our study. The protocol was reported in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Living models offer the chance to develop both technical and non-technical competencies (i.e., leadership, situation awareness, decision-making, communication, and teamwork). Prior experience with ex vivo tissues helps residents consolidate basic skills prior to performing more advanced techniques in the living tissues. Trainees reported a higher satisfaction rate with the living models. The combination of living and nonliving training microsurgical models leads to superior results; however, the gold standard remains the living model. The validity of the hypothesis that living models enhance non-technical skills remains to be confirmed. Level of evidence: Not ratable.

Desenvolvimento Institucional em Organizações da Sociedade Civil: Gestão Social ou Gestão Estratégica do Social?

Abstract: Nos ultimos anos tem surgido no campo das Organizacoes da Sociedade Civil (OSCs) no Brasil uma perspectiva teorica e pratica denominada Desenvolvimento Institucional (DI). Para alem de mero aprimoramento tecnico-gerencial das organizacoes, o DI leva em conta seus posicionamentos no ambiente e suas intervencoes para desempenhar suas funcoes de forma eficiente, legitima e sustentavel. Nesse diapasao, o proposito deste artigo e discutir se (i) a proposta de DI em OSCs vai ao encontro dos pressupostos teoricos e conceituais da gestao social, tendo como fim imanente a emancipacao dos sujeitos nessas organizacoes, ou (ii) se permanece arraigada nas premissas managerialistas dominantes da gestao estrategica. Argumentamos que, a despeito das acoes de DI terem o potencial de promover espacos promissores para praticas comunicativas, reflexivas e emancipadoras de uma gestao social, esta nova corrente se aproxima, teorica e conceitualmente, de uma perspectiva de gestao estrategica do social, descambando para a ortodoxia do gerencialismo.

Growth and social entrepreneurs: the challenge of conciliating economic and social values

Abstract: This research aimed to describe the phenomenon of the growth of enterprises in the vision of social entrepreneurs.,This is a qualitative study developed joining eight social entrepreneurs in four organizations, two cooperatives and two associations.
