Este artigo resulta de pesquisa realizada no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento – PPGMADE/UFPR, a qual problematizou a relação entre questão agrária brasileira, trabalho rural e possíveis impactos de alterações do sistema de Previdência Social Especial Rural no Brasil (PSER). A partir do ponto de vista do trabalhador rural brasileiro, buscou-se compreender os impactos da PSER para o desenvolvimento no campo brasileiro, bem como sobre a soberania e segurança alimentar. A compreensão destes impactos propiciou a análise crítica da problemática. Tornou-se importante neste trabalho compreender os impactos socioeconômicos sobre o campo brasileiro das alterações propostas pela PEC n. 287/2016. Entre um dos principais resultados aponta-se que a problematização do trabalhador rural e da Previdência Social Especial Rural perpassa uma interpretação integrada de noções que partem da realidade social, por exemplo, soberania e segurança alimentar e a luta contra a desigualdade social e a exclusão dos povos rurais analisadas neste trabalho, enquanto potências transformadoras dos valores, modos e rumos de produção da vida em sociedade. Tais aspectos podem ser compreendidos como princípios ideológicos de uma movimentação una, forte e diversa com potencial para a construção de uma luta comum, rumo a outro paradigma de desenvolvimento, pautado na verdadeira inclusão e participação social, o qual, entretanto, está em constante construção, devendo ser continuamente reformulado, a fim de propiciar verdadeiro enfrentamento de forças que propiciam a desigualdade, exploração e injustiça. Neste esforço, considerando a complexidade e atualidade do assunto estudado, empregou-se a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica, de análise de dados e documentos. Abstract This article results from a research developed in the Postgraduate Program in Environment and Development – PPGMADE/UFPR, which problematized relation between Brazilian agrarian question, rural work and possible impacts of changes in the Special Rural Social Security system in the Brazil. From the Brazilian rural worker point of view, it was sought to understand the impacts of the Special Rural Social Security to the Brazilian countryside development, as well as on food sovereignty and security. It has become important in this work to understand the socioeconomic impacts on the Brazilian countryside through changes proposed by the PEC n. 287/2016. Among one of the main results, it is pointed out that the problematization of the rural worker and of the Special Rural Social Security is based on an integrated interpretation of notions that depart from social reality, for example, sovereignty and food security and the struggle against social inequality and exclusion of the rural peoples analyzed in this work, as transformative powers of the values, ways and routes of production of life in society. Such aspects can be understood as ideological principles of a strong and diverse movement with the potential to build a common struggle, towards another paradigm of development, based on a true inclusion and social participation, which, however, is constantly being constructed and must be continually reformulated in order to provide a real confrontation of forces that foster inequality, exploitation and injustice. In this effort, considering the complexity and timeliness of the subject studied, the methodology of bibliographic review, data analysis and documents were used.

The Right

This chapter explores stakes, viabilities, and politics of transnational law through case studies of practices and struggles of the right to food. This chapter first explores the emergence and particularities of transnational legal politics in a field of food security and discusses a changing meaning and renewed importance of locality. Then, case studies of private regulations of food production and food sovereignty movements are presented to illustrate how the politics of human rights unfolds with different spatiality and processes. The case studies illustrate that while transnational legal politics makes a question of political agency difficult to solve in a normatively satisfactory way, human rights have a potential to provide a ground to organize and network different sites of struggles. This chapter submits that, in transnational legal politics, human rights should be seen as being open to shift their meaning and normative contents in response to actual local struggles.

Movimientos Sociales

El trabajo aborda el tema de la acción colectiva internacional desde el ascenso de las organizaciones del llamado tercer sector, hasta el (re)surgimiento de movimientos campesinos contrahegemónicos, que internacionalizan y ambientalizan su lucha a partir de la agroecología y los debates de la soberanía alimentaria y justicia ambiental. Estos debates serán ejemplificados a partir de tres organizaciones campesinas de Brasil, México y Argentina. Las mismas expresan los procesos de territorialización campesina y sus dinámicas en los tres países, además de un complejo acercamiento a las temáticas ambientales que propone un quiebre normativo en relación a la actuación de Organizaciones No Gubernamentales (ONGs), fundaciones y organizaciones ambientalistas tradicionales. Si bien las organizaciones que buscaremos caracterizar en clave comparativa sean organizaciones novedosas en relación al movimiento campesino clásico, por adentrarse en problemáticas contemporáneas como la cuestión ambiental, democracia interna y la soberanía alimentaria; resignificando y ambientalizando a la cuestión agraria contemporánea; las mismas cuestionan al capitalismo y rescatan críticamente las experiencias de los movimientos sociales y sindical que las precedieron. Luego, las organizaciones campesinas estudiadas afirman en su existencia y base social algunas características que la Escuela de los Nuevos Movimientos Sociales tiende a negar frente su interpretación analítica de la acción colectiva internacional en la globalización y los sujetos sociales (tercer sector) que la misma privilegia en sus análisis. Abstract This research approaches the issue of the international collective action, from the rise of the third sector organizations to the resurgence of counter-hegemonic peasant movements that internationalize and “environmentalize” their struggle from the discussions of agroecology, food sovereignty and environmental justice. These discussions will be exemplified by three peasant organizations in Brazil, México and Argentina. The organizations above mentioned express the processes of peasant territorialization and their dynamics in the three countries, in addition to a complex approach to the environmental issues that proposes a normative break related to the actions of the traditional environmental NGO´s, foundations and organizations. The organizations that we characterize in comparative terms are innovatory in relation to the classic peasant movement, because they move further into contemporary issues such as environmental questions, internal democracy and food sovereignty; resignifying and “environmentalizing” the contemporary agrarian question. Also, these organizations confront capitalism and rescue, from a critical perspective, the experiences of the social and trade union movements that preceded them. Then, the peasant organizations studied in this work affirm in their existence and social base some characteristics that the School of New Social Movements tends to deny in its analytical interpretation of the international collective action in globalization and social subjects (third sector) that this School privileges in their analyzes.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.

Multiple Regression Technique

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.

Communication Needs

As the field of telepractice grows, perceived barriers to service delivery must be anticipated and addressed in order to provide appropriate service delivery to individuals who will benefit from this model. When applying telepractice to the field of AAC, additional barriers are encountered when clients with complex communication needs are unable to speak, often present with severe quadriplegia and are unable to position themselves or access the computer independently, and/or may have cognitive impairments and limited computer experience. Some access methods, such as eye gaze, can also present technological challenges in the telepractice environment. These barriers can be overcome, and telepractice is not only practical and effective, but often a preferred means of service delivery for persons with complex communication needs.
