This work aims to conceptualize formal equality and substantial (material) equality as the guiding principles for the formulation of affirmative action policies -- Quota Law (n. 12.711/2012). It differentiates between two types of equalities: formal and substantial, taking into account that the differences serve to the understanding of Quota Law's matter, allowing to assert that substantial equality is the one that best assures equity, the strengthening of human rights and the admission of a population historically excluded from public higher education in Brazil. In what concerns affirmative action, its political disposition and temporary character expose the foundations of Compensatory and Distributive Theories and the Principles of Legal Pluralism and Human Dignity. Accordingly, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the text points that today's quotas, despite a series of criticisms and oppositions, have mainly allowed the admission of black and indigenous students in federal institutions of higher education.

<p><strong>Resumo: </strong>A história da Educação Infantil no Brasil conta com polí ticas públicas voltadas para a assistência e a saúde das crianças pobres. Entre essas políticas, surge, em 1934, no Estado de São Paulo, o Parque Infantil, instituição hibrida que assumia responsabilidades não somente pela educação dos alunos que recebia, mas, t ambém, pela assistência médica, dentária, alimentação e recreação dos mesmos. Gradativamente, a proposta da instituição se difundiu por algumas cidades do Estado e até mesmo da Federação e, em 1951, por intermédio do Departamento de Educação Física do Estado de São Paulo, o projeto torna-se realidade também na cidade de Ribeirão Preto. O presente estudo se propõe a analisar o processo de interiorização dos referidos Parques Infantis.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave: </strong>História da Educação; Departamento de Educação Física do Estado de São Paulo; Parque Infantil.</p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The history of the Infantile Education in Brazil has public policies focused for the care and health of poor children.

Este artigo aborda a trajetória histórico-normativa das políticas curriculares dos cursos de graduação tecnológica no contexto da legislação federal. Articula-se ao contínuo das pesquisas de doutorado; Pesquisa FAPESP (2011/0845608) concernentes às políticas de educação tecnológica no Estado de São Paulo; reportando-se também à atual Pesquisa de Pós Doutorado em Educação (História da Educação) que versa sobre as políticas públicas da educação profissional e tecnológica no Brasil. Sob bases metodológicas da pesquisa qualitativa em educação a análise abrange a pesquisa bibliográfica e a documental. Nesse espaço textual, contemplou-se, prioritariamente, a pesquisa documental. Focaliza a análise da legislação federal da: I) primeira Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB) 4.024/61 e legislação complementar do extinto Conselho Federal de Educação (CFE); II) da vigente LDB 9394/96; Pareceres e Resoluções do atual Conselho Nacional de Educação (CNE).À luz de uma abordagem descritivo-analítica e de interpretação legislativa visou-se, aqui, referenciar as normatizações de Pareceres e Resoluções expedidos pelo CNE. Priorizou-se o estudo do Parecer CNE/CEB 29/2002, pois esse documento contempla o histórico da educação tecnológica no Brasil. A título de considerações preliminares, cabe enfatizar a relevância do Estado de São Paulo, prioritariamente pelas orientações normativas do CEE/SP e do Centro Paula Souza (CPS), na inovação e oferecimento de educação profissional e tecnológica pública no Brasil. Entretanto, constam ainda demandas urgentes quanto ao reconhecimento das peculiaridades dos cursos superiores de graduação tecnológica; bem ainda quanto à necessidade de um vigoroso planejamento participativo e diagnóstico a fim de identificar as especificidades do desenvolvimento nacional e a correlata formulação de políticas curriculares para a educação profissional tecnológica pública.Palavras-chave: políticas curriculares; trajetória histórico-normativa; cursos superiores de tecnologia, legislação federal.AbstractThis article discusses the historical and normative trajectory of curricular policies of technological undergraduate courses in the context of federal.

Cananéia is the southernmost city in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It is a municipality where the tertiary sector is the main contributor to the economy parallel to the maintenance of artisanal fishing activities. The authors perform a study on the impact of tourism in the municipality area (performed through surveys in an attempt to determine how the different population segments [residents, promoters, users] see the activity and its impacts on nature and on the local economy). The majority of tourists surveyed come from the state of São Paulo (83.3%) and the rest of Santa Catarina and Paraná, with ages from 19-25 (36.7%) (70% having higher education). 43.3% of the inquired stated that tourism is not correctly managed (however without relevant environmental impacts). 93.3% of the boaters and 66.7% of the interviewed referred lack of information about the sites ecology and the drivers of change of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and climate change. Questionnaires results clearly demonstrated the need for visitor information and interpretation envisaging sustainable tourism implementation.

The almost instantaneous access to information provided by technological advances has revolutionized the behavior of people and of the classrooms too. Teachers had to adapt themselves to new technologies to maintain students interested and attentive to the discipline being taught. In this work, the behavior of the students of the 6th grade of elementary school II during class was observed. The school chosen is a public school in the State of São Paulo (Brazil). The research was based on data collection. The students were observed by being filmed during six months. The results showed that the students were interested in the classes and committed to the activities. The place that the student chooses to sit in the classroom influences the behavior of the teacher, because the more distant the teacher, the less he participates in the class.

This book is an ethnographic study of controversial sounds and noise control debates in Latin America’s most populous city. It discusses the politics of collective living by following several threads linking sound-making practices to governance issues. Rather than discussing sound within a self-enclosed “cultural” field, I examine it as a point of entry for analyzing the state. At the same time, rather than portraying the state as a self-enclosed “apparatus” with seemingly inexhaustible homogeneous power, I describe it as a collection of unstable (and often contradictory) sectors, personnel, strategies, discourses, documents, and agencies. My goal is to approach sound as an analytical category that allows us to access citizenship issues. As I show, environmental noise in São Paulo has been entangled in a wide range of debates, including public health, religious intolerance, crime control, urban planning, cultural rights, and economic growth. The book’s guiding question can be summarized as follows: how do sounds enter and leave the sphere of state control? I answer this question by examining a multifaceted process I define as “sound-politics.” The term refers to sounds as objects that are susceptible to state intervention through specific regulatory, disciplinary, and punishment mechanisms. Both “sound” and “politics” in “sound-politics” are nouns, with the hyphen serving as a bridge that expresses the instability that each concept inserts into the other.

Terrestrial Isopods were sampled in four protected Atlantic Forest areas located in Serra do Mar, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. A total of 2,217 individuals of six species (Atlantoscia sp., Benthana werneri, Pseudodiploexochus tabularis, Pudeoniscus obscurus, Styloniscus spinosus and Trichorhina sp.) were captured in pitfall traps. The exotic species S. spinosus is recorded for the first time for the Americas. Another introduced species, P. tabularis, previously recorded only from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, had its geographic distribution extended to the state of São Paulo. The most abundant isopods in this study belong to an undescribed species of Atlantoscia.
