One of the goals of the University extension project "How to use the Law", realized in Porto Seguro, State of Bahia, Brazil, was to identify methodologies of other projects about education about rights in schools to be used in posterior activities. In order to do so, we analyzed papers published at the Human rights and Justice session of the Brazilian Congress on University Extension Annals since 2012. We found thirteen papers, mostly from North, South and Southeast regions about: human rights education, bullying, Statute of Children and Adolescents, violence, racism, social inequality, sexuality, family relationships, restorative justice, illicit psychotropic substances, peace culture, and others. In general, the projects related in the papers are interdisciplinary. Some of them exhibit movies and a few others engage with other institutions and professionals. They face the challenges of improper material conditions of execution, the need to adapt the legal language to the specific public and the ambivalence of rights that can provide either emancipation or discipline. Although some papers describe how successful the projects were, it would be useful to describe in detail the methods, techniques and materials used in the activities, as well as the underlying concepts of teaching and extension.

This article aims to analyze the socioeconomic effects of eucalyptus cultivation on the development of producing municipalities in the state of Bahia, Brazil. As a methodology, it was made a recent panoramic analysis of the production of logs for pulp and paper production in the main Brazilian producing states; characterization of forestry in the state of Bahia; Identification of possible influences of the productive activity on the economy of the studied municipalities, through economic data and the agrarian structure analysis; Possible social transformations in the municipalities studied were analyzed through socioeconomic data. According to the results, it is noted that the expansion of the activity in question generated a greater concentration of land due to the increase in the number of large rural properties, migration of the rural population to urban areas, and also, it was unable to provide benefits for population from these locations, from the point of view of the socioeconomic indicators analyzed.

In 1888, slavery was abolished in Brazil. The emancipation decade, in the far South of Bahia, was accompanied by conflicts and tensions involving masters, slaves, abolitionists, and provincial officials. Adding to this setting was the presence of a multitude of workers from several places in for the building of the Bahia-Minas railway. These workers put forth a host of protests, mutinies, and claims along the decade, contributing to the "atmosphere of unrest" which marked the struggles around slavery and freedom in the region. In 1888, after the May 13th emancipation law was approved, a crew of Portuguese construction workers were tied to trunks as a punishment for an armed protest, and were kept in prison for months. This paper analyses this episode and discusses slavery reminiscences in labor relations in the railway construction just after emancipation, drawing upon police and judicial documents.

This paper aims to discuss how the public budget and the model of basic attention in public health could affect the infant mortality rates in a certain territory. The research was carried out in the Southern Coastal Territory of Bahia, in the State of Bahia, Northeast Region of Brazil. It is a quantitative and descriptive investigation, based on secondary data referring to the period from 2006 to 2015, collected between 2017 and 2018 in official Brazilian public data banks. It was verified that, although the average rate of infant mortality fell gradually from 2006 in the territory, it is still higher than the national average within the investigated period. In 2006, the average rate of the territory was 35.53% and decreased to 18.56% in 2015. However, throughout the period the average rate remained higher than the Brazilian average, which is 18%. Infant mortality rates have a strong relationship with social, economic, and environmental factors. In the case investigated, they are associated with the fragmentation and fragility of public health service networks in the municipalities of the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Brazil, the overwhelming expansion of the global agribusiness on new areas of the Cerrado, creates functional regions specialized in the production of agricultural commodities, such as the West of Bahia. With accelerated growth of crops like soybeans, corn and cotton in addition to livestock, on the one hand, reach high volumes of production and increase productivity levels, on the other, reproduce social inequality and poverty/land in cities and rural areas due to the destruction of nature, labor exploitation and abuse of wealth and income concentration. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyze the imbalance between economic growth and social development of the three main cities of this region: Barreiras, Luís Eduardo Magalhães and São Desidério. The extreme social inequality divides the economy of the regional space into two distinct sides: the territory of the territory of the rich and poor, the "territory of the progress" of modern large agribusiness farms and gated communities and "precarious territory" of the numerous and growing suburbs of cities. To change this reality of the abusive concentration of wealth and income, it is necessary to combat the ideological discourse and practice of macro-scale reproduction of the capital of modern agriculture, to provide universal access to collective goods and services and make decent living and working.

This paper aims to analyze to what extent the Family Allowance Program [FAP] contributes to strengthening citizens' participation in public services management and to identify the degree of knowledge of the Program Beneficiaries regarding their political rights. For this purpose, theoretical revisions were carried out, which focused on the expansion of the rights and citizens' participation in the light of the Democratic State under the Rule of Law. A multi-case study was carried out with 1,588 beneficiaries from the FAP who benefited from the basic health services in ten municipalities in the State of Bahia. The results show that there is low predisposition to associative life and the participation forums are not identified, hardening the discussion of the collective interest problems, with the predominance of the lack of knowledge concerning political rights. There is low confidence in the legislative and executive branches, and the higher credibility percentages are found at religious institutions (74,1) and residents association, (34,1), which matches other studies realized in Latin America. Accordingly, the conclusion is that the FAP has not performed an emancipating role that is capable of promoting structuring changes, such as expanding predisposition to associative life, participation and knowledge of their Political Rights.

Although Brazil is a country predominantly agrarian, in the rural zone of Brazil there is a not a schooling system effectively from the rural zone. The lack of that space of formal education is not the main cause of country poverty but it is one more factor that reinforces it. Until 1891 such education was not mentioned in constitutional texts revealing the national government negligence. The developed practices in those schools seem not to give importance to the association between life and formal educational activities. The possibility of the existence of a country school associated to the rural reality grows up with the pedagogical model of alternance that emerged as an attempting to fulfill the formal education demand in the country. The alternance pedagogy, on its libertarian, progressive and consciousness dimension, dialogues to FREIRE's principles: defending the education as a continuous process of cultural construction and community development to self-supporting. This paper aims at collaborate with an educational propose in the country, which is also to the country, from the rural zone of Jaguaquara, once the researching place is the Escola Rural Taylor-Egídio (ERTE), in Jaguaquara district.
