The article aims to conduct a comparative study between the funding of Full-Time and Part-Time Schools in the municipal network of Fortaleza in the year 2019. It discusses the funding conditions of basic education, specifically in the city of Fortaleza. The study is quantitative in nature, exploratory and descriptive in character, adopting the methodology of a multiple case study, with data collected from various sectors of the Municipal Department of Education and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The research involves four schools and sought to identify the main components of expenses and their relative weight in each type of school. The analyses show that both full-time and part-time schools have an annual expenditure per student that are higher than the reference value provided by Fundeb, and that full-time schools present an annual expenditure per student approximately 30% higher than that of parttime schools. It was found that there are significant modifications in some expense components in full-time schools, such as non-teaching staff contracted through outsourcing; expenses with public services and communication; and food. The study shows that the growth in the number of full-time schools faces, in addition to issues related to funding limitations, substantive modifications in expense components, indicating a strong trend towards outsourcing of services.

The study aimed to characterize the organizational entrenchment of public servants in a Services Regulatory Agency from the three dimensions of entrenchment reported by Rodrigues and Bastos (2012). Therefore, we sought to investigate how the investments made in the career cause their permanence; to identify emotional aspects related to permanence in the career; and analyze the possible alternatives outside the Regulatory Agency's servants' field of action. The research is characterized as qualitative and descriptive, carried out through semi-structured interviews with 14 public servants of a Regulatory Agency in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The results indicate that civil servants are deeply ingrained at different levels in the three dimensions studied, mainly regarding material losses, in which the abdication of the career is seen to cease the benefits obtained, and dealing with impersonal bureaucratic processes. The research contributes academically to a better understanding of entrenchment in the public service, as it signals to the people management of these organizations the need to seek new ways to motivate their employees.

The subject of the research is the role played by the Social Assistance Specialized Reference Center (CREAS) in assisting children and teenagers who are victims of intra-family violence. The general aim of the research is to analyze CREAS’ responsibilities in providing care to children and teenagers who are victims of intra-family violence. To this end, the specific objectives are to analyze the modalities, causes and consequences of intrafamily violence against children and teenagers, to verify the legal protection safeguarding the rights of children and teenagers based on the theory of comprehensive protection, and to study the role of the Social Assistance Specialized Reference Center as a public policy for providing assistance in situations of intra-family violence against children and teenagers. The question guiding the research is to ask what role the Social Assistance Specialized Reference Center plays as an entity active in public service policies in situations of intra-family violence against children and teenagers. The initial hypothesis suggests that CREAS provides special social protection in caring for victims of intra-family violence, providing the services of shelter, monitoring, guidance, and protection, in a coordinated fashion. The method of approach is deductive, and the procedural method is monographic, utilizing bibliographic research techniques. With intra-family violence a means of dehumanization and manifesting in many ways, public service policies play an essential role in its prevention and in the restoration of the rights violated.

Work represents the essential element in the social construction of the individual and can be a source of pleasure and suffering. Outsourcing is the transfer of activities from an organization to third parties. The study analyzed the experiences of pleasure and suffering of outsourced workers who work in cleaning services in a federal public institution in the light of the Psychodynamics of Work. A qualitative, descriptive approach was used, employing Bardin's content analysis (2011). Field research was carried out as a technical procedure and the application of an interview script adapted from the ITRA instrument - "Inventory on Work and Risks of Illness" by Mendes and Ferreira (2007) for data collection and analysis. It was evidenced that work is seen as pleasurable, with sufficient resources and a peaceful relationship, despite limitations such as lack of time to go to the doctor, division of tasks, and physical and cognitive problems. Outsourced workers carry out their activities as required by the organization and avoid conflicts using emotional control as a defense strategy. The presence of invisibility is identified as they avoid expressing their feelings and their need for alternatives that minimize the risks of illness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: This technological article presents guidelines on redesigning jobs and assignments in public service to respond to the need to create career mobility mechanisms that meet civil servants' expectations and align with new work contexts. The guidelines are based on key processes identified in the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina (MPSC). Context: The MPSC is an independent public institution that defends the public interest in several ways. The body has historically assumed new roles and functions, expanding the direct services to citizens, which requires adequate administrative support in its offices all over the state. This context has led to intense internal discussion that gave rise to the creation of the position of Assistant to the Public Prosecutor's Office. Diagnosis: Technical positions at the MPSC are occupied by mid-level professionals and encompass specific activities that no longer satisfy the needs of the institution due to contextual changes, such as the digitalization of processes and procedures, the digitalization of the means of communication, and the centralization of services. Therefore, many attributions of these positions no longer satisfy the needs of the MPSC, and the job overview publicized in the notice of the institution's competitive hiring process is outdated. Originality/Value: The experience of MPSC may inspire other public organizations to redesign positions regarding managerial, technical, or legal issues, taking into account the particularities of each context. In addition, the presentation of the guidelines seeks to stimulate reflection on the need to incorporate patterns of change in people management in public service, especially regarding the definition of positions and attributions.

The municipality of Ribeira de Pena can be described as the land where the region of Minho ends and Trás-os-Montes begins, and this is reflected in the contrast of landscapes throughout its territory and, inherently, in the use of fire. Once holding the distinction of having the largest area of maritime pine in Europe, it continues to be a region dominated by this specie. This factor increases the potential for one or several large fires. The municipality of Ribeira de Pena has a predominantly rural profile, in which the forest area represents 78% of the territory and the agricultural area 19%. In this context, rural fires constitute a real threat, whose risk has been aggravated over the last few decades, following the progressive depopulation, associated with the existence of large migratory flows directed towards the metropolitan areas of the coast, or towards the European space. To revitalize this territory, several institutional initiatives have emerged, the attempt to implement programs associated with community funds that cover different aspects. This is the only way to leverage the resilience of the territory and its populations, recognizing the importance of empowering the population and facilitating operational intervention, which is why, since 2019, the Municipality of Ribeira de Pena has invested in the implementation of the Aldeia Segura/Pessoas Seguras Programs. This work reflects the experience of the Office for Civil Protection and Defense of the Forest of the Municipality of Ribeira de Pena, which identified a set of factors, such as collaboration with home support teams, which may favor or hinder the operationalization of these two programs in the ground. From this reflection, the challenges in the implementation of the Aldeia Segura/Pessoas Seguras Programs in the municipality of Ribeira de Pena are listed, namely, time management and compatibility with other tasks in charge of this municipal service. From the identification of these challenges, it is expected to improve the efficiency of the Program's implementation process, as well as increase its capacity to effectively provide the protection of the community. In the view of the Office for Civil Protection and Defense of the Forest of the Municipality of Ribeira de Pena, the success of this program will depend on other measures that act on risk mitigation, such as, for example, fuel management or increased economic profitability agrosilvopastoral or tourist activities.

In Portugal, after the 2017 rural fires, where 117 human lives were lost and an estimated 1,5 billion euros in damages, the Portuguese government moved forward with the creation of legislation to promote the implementation of self-protection programs in rural communities. Thus 2018, the "Safe Village, Safe People" programs emerged. These programs are not unprecedented in Portugal, as in 2006, as a reactive measure to the fires of 2005, the now-defunct Directorate-General of Forest Resources created a program called Safe Villages, which, despite the initiative, fell far short of expectations and was eventually abandoned. This investigation aims to identify the obstacles that arose during the initial implementation phase, analyze the innovations introduced by the Municipal Services in adapting these programs, and highlight the positive aspects, weaknesses, challenges, and future perspectives of the programs under analysis. The methodology to achieve these objectives involved obtaining testimonials and insights from the Municipal Civil Protection Office of Góis technicians. These testimonials represent the practical knowledge of this municipal entity, providing information about crucial elements, challenges, and anticipations of future obstacles related to implementing the Aldeia Segura and Pessoas Seguras programs. This empirical research revealed great difficulty in promoting the adherence of local associations and populations. There was also some mistrust about the responsibilities that rural communities can assume. Even so, the intervention that the commissions/improvement associations have provided is of great importance to support the implementation of these programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital health includes, among other initiatives, the use of big data analysis techniques and artificial intelligence (AI) for prevention, monitoring and surveillance purposes in health. Still in an experimental stage, applications of AI in health had its development accelerated due to the Covid-19 pandemic. To promote the development of digital technologies in health, and as a consequence of previous developments, the federal government established a Digital Health Strategy for Brazil. Inspired by the Global Digital Health Strategy of the World Health Organization, such strategy was unfolded into actions for massive data collection, such as: the National Network of Health Data (RNDS), which is bonded to the Connect SUS Program, and the prognostic of Open Health. This work, therefore, aims to approach the broader context of the public services digitalization, devoting special attention to the Digital Health Strategy for Brazil 2020-2028.

This article addresses the issue of black female workers in the municipal public service of Porto Alegre, highlighting their life stories and professional trajectories, in the context of structural racism, in the post-1990s period of the 20th century. For research purposes, the study's problematization came from the professional trajectories of black workers in the municipality, who work in the areas of education, health and social assistance. The methodology used had the historical-dialectical materialism as a theoretical-methodological contribution, where an exploratory and analytical descriptive research was carried out, with the application of the information triangulation technique. As well, oral history was used to listen to stories and trajectories in the context of structural racism, which directly affects black women throughout their lives, with issues related to class, gender and race. Six black women public servants from Porto Alegre, activists of the anti-racist struggle, were interviewed. The document analysis technique was also used on black public servants in the Porto Alegre City Hall. As a result, it was found that of the total public servants in Porto Alegre, 6.11% are black servants. And among female servants, 10.29% are black. It is verified that the threads and plots of structural racism, having as protagonists the black women public servants of Porto Alegre, point out the intertwining between class, race and gender, demonstrating the forms of struggle and resistance of black women in their socio-historical time. The results show the historical inequality of black women workers in capitalist/racist society and the intensification of this post-2016 coup. Structural racism is particularized in the work, in the reality and experience of black women public servants of the city hall, where it was found that all black female servants surveyed suffered and do suffer racism in their workplaces in different ways. It is concluded that the social struggles experienced by black workers who serve the municipality, especially with regard to the forms of organization and resistance against structural racism and institutional racism in the municipal public service, strengthen resistance as a central aspect of the struggle for human emancipation, which is permanent and in a continuous historical process, and in the bed of struggle.

In the current scenario of organizational changes and the nature of work, stress remains a challenge and a relevant problem, with peculiarities that must be investigated when considering public organizations and their managers. This study sought to explore the perceptions of public sector managers about stress at work, diagnosing stress levels in management work. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires consisting of open questions and closed items with managers of a federal public agency. Descriptive qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed. The average level of stress diagnosed was moderate. The main stressors refer to political influences and interference in the manager's performance, insufficient number of professionals in the teams, tight deadlines, and interference of work demands in rest and leisure times. The study brings reflections on practices aimed at promoting the welfare of these professionals, presents a questionnaire about stress in management work, and outlines a research agenda.

Green areas provide key ecosystem services for cities. Such benefits, however, need to be distributed in the urban fabric so that they are equally accessible to all citizens, a principle called Green Equity. This study analyzed the distribution of green areas in the eleven neighborhoods of the urban region of Prosa, in the city of Campo Grande, capital of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, through vector data provided by the Municipal System of Indicators (SISGRAN) of the Municipality of Campo Grande (PMCG). The region’s green areas and road transport network were analyzed using the Space Syntax plugin and thematic maps generated in QGis and then compared with data on the income distribution of the region’s residents. The results made it possible to point out the occurrence of spatial segregation in the region in relation to access to green areas by residents. It was observed that most of the green areas are located in the neighborhoods with higher income and with privileges of displacement and access by the main roads of the region. The opposite occurred in part of the neighborhoods with lower per capita income, with variation in occurrence and access to vegetated areas. This research could, therefore, verify the positive correlation between income and access to green areas in 72% of the analyzed neighborhoods, validating the analysis methodology.

The present study had the objective of understand how public services provided through the Meu INSS platform can create or deconstruct public value to citizens. The study adopted a qualitative approach to understand and describe the public value generated by Meu INSS platform. The data were collected through interviews with 10 INSS users. The data were analyzed through content analysis. The results indicate that Meu INSS platform was an important technological actor in the construction of value to users, mainly due to the agility, practicality and convenience of consuming the INSS services in the digital sphere. In addition, the negative experiences of users with the services provided at INSS agencies increased the importance that citizens attributed to the platform. However, the deconstruction of value through the INSS's digital services also took place, mainly because of the difficulty of using the platform, technical errors, slowness on the platform and inadequate operational support. Finally, this research provided a dualistic assessment of the positive and negative attributes of the digital public service provided by the INSS, showing that the meaning of value perceived by citizens was dynamically constructed and deconstructed during the use of the digital public service.

This research was carried out to deepen the theme of Special Education and Inclusion and attendance in Specialized Educational Service rooms. The method used was bibliographical research, with a qualitative and descriptive nature. Its main objective is to analyze the Specialized Educational Service in the municipal teaching network of Salgueiro-PE, at the Escola Professora Cleuzemi Pereira do Nascimento Silva. The work is justified by the importance of scientific knowledge about AEE in the field of educational studies and by the fact that the topic has been discussed in recent years in major educational events, such as congresses, seminars and others. Inclusion is not a quick and automatic process, but it happens slowly and gradually, and it may take time for people with some type of special educational need to be included in regular schools.

The economic, social, and technological transformations that cities undergo have a common denominator that leads to pressure for them to serve the population more effectively, promoting their local development. The objective is to analyze municipal strategies and digital public services, and their relationship with the strategic digital city in Goiânia, GO, Brazil. The research methodology emphasized a case study with a 6 variables protocol. The results obtained evidenced the diversified use of municipal themes, both in the disposition of municipal strategies and in the provision of public services with information technology. These services, when inserted in an effective process, lead to the citizen’s quality of life, connecting with the strategic digital city. For citizens, this broadens the debate on the quality of urban life, and for public administrators, it presents discussions on the urban environment from the perspective of local development. The conclusion reiterates that public services with information technology aligned with municipal strategies are part of an innovation process in favor of citizens’ quality of life and local development. They constitute a way to deliver public services with quality information technology to the population through municipal projects, such as the strategic digital city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Brazil, the interstate road passenger transport is considered a public service. It is organized by a public agency, the National Land Transport Agency ("ANTT"), and operated by private agents which manage a wide and combined set of people and cargo's displacements around the national territory. The interstate road passenger transport is a service with high capillarity, as it connects urban centers of different sizes and uses the road network to carry people and cargo's flows. Interstate transport reflects uneven development, and it shows a diversity of spatial interactions that take place all over the Brazilian territory. Therefore, this article analyzes the highways of the municipality of Goiânia/GO, its uneven development, and interstate road transport of passengers. The text is organized in three parts which are theoretically based on bibliographic research. The results were based on population data provided by national public institutions and information about the interstate lines were obtained on the ANTT website in order to support the main article debate.

The article analyzes the actions of the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) to develop soft skills in employees. An interview was carried out with the Personnel Training Coordination, document analysis and research with active public workers in the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Administração Universitária. The results highlight the need to adapt Competency Management to the reality of public higher education as well as the need to seek the development of soft skills. On the one hand, the legislation and the structure of the public service limits Competency Management and on the other hand, there is a need for managers to understand the importance of soft skills. Finally, it was identified that training actions related to soft skills are still not so prominent at UFSC and it is suggested to carry out research with an expansion of the sample of public employees to, finally, propose solutions that promote both Competency Management and development initiatives of soft skills.

This article brings to light the results of an analysis that aimed to investigate the influence of the tourist market on the formulation of public policies in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The methodology applied was qualitative. It also presents itself as ethnological research. The researched content is referenced by urban critical theory. The analysis proceeds sequentially under topics that address elements intrinsically linked to the investigated phenomenon, such as social inequality and gentrification. The content of the analysis was developed from extensive research in official documents, scientific journals, books and journalistic material, in addition to direct observation of public affairs, through legislative commissions and public hearings. The elaboration of the research was inspired by the song "Alternative Society", by Raul Seixas and Paulo Coelho, in addition to praxis based on Thelema and the City Statute. Scenario of the study, the city of Rio de Janeiro was chosen for its complex panorama: welcoming to visitors, excluding for part of the natives. The analysis allows us to conclude that the scenario can be improved, through actions to universalize the right to the city and to services, in addition to the decentralization of income and social participation in the management of public resources. The analysis fosters elements for future discussions on emancipatory processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
