Este artigo problematiza a relação da extensão universitária dialógica e emancipatória com as metodologias participativas, no contexto atual do ensino superior público, a partir da análise de três ações extensionistas, realizadas na Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT), Câmpus de Araguaína. Esta pesquisa ancora-se, metodologicamente, na análise qualitativa, com triangulação de pesquisa documental, entrevistas com docentes e relatório do Sistema de Informação e Gestão de Projetos (SIGProj). Tais ações evidenciaram caminhos para a materialização da comunicação entre universidade pública e sociedade que, comprometida com a inclusão social pela educação, poderá promover a (co)produção, o compartilhamento, a comunicação, as trocas e a integração de culturas na sociedade. As experiências extensionistas analisadas demonstraram que a universidade poderá ampliar a construção de conhecimentos socialmente relevantes e de transformação social pela ação, a partir da aprendizagem colaborativa entre agentes da Comissão Pastoral da Terra (CPT), acadêmicos, camponeses do Quilombo Grotão, docentes da universidade, grafiteiros, servidores técnico-administrativos estudantes da Educação Básica, professores das escolas rurais e de pequenas cidades, moradores de povoados e de comunidades rurais. Conclui-se que, apesar dos desafios atuais da universidade pública, algumas estratégias desenvolvidas demonstraram possibilidades de diálogos socioculturais, fortalecidos pela participação daqueles que estão fora da academia, reconhecidos como importantes coprodutores no processo de construção de saberes.Palavras-chave: Extensão universitária.

This research is methodologically anchored in qualitative analysis with triangulation of documentary analysis, interviews with professors and the analysis of the Information and Project Management System reports. Such actions evidenced pathways for concrete communication between public universities and society, committed to social inclusion through education that promotes (co-)production, sharing, communication, exchanges and cultural integration in society. The outreach experiences analyzed showed that the university will be able to expand the construction of socially relevant knowledge and social transformation through actions based on collaborative learning among agents involving  members from the Pastoral Land Commission (CPT), academics, peasants from the Quilombo Grotão community, graffiti artists, technical-administrative servants, students enrolled in basic education, teachers from rural schools and small towns, as well as residents from villages and rural communities. We conclude that, despite the current challenges of the public university, some strategies developed in te case studies demonstrated possibilities for socio-cultural dialogue, strengthened by the participation of those who are outside the academy and are recognized as important co-producers in the process of building knowledge.Keywords: University outreach work.

Conservation Of Biodiversity

The perception of a basic education of the importance of agroecological agricultural systems for human and environmental health is fundamental for changes in consumption habits, the conservation of local biodiversity and long-term social transformation. We analyzed, by utilizing a questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions, the perceptions about agroecological and conventional agricultural production systems in 360 final students of basic education residing in nine Functional Planning Regions of southern Brazil. We used classification categories for answers within thematic axes, expressed in percentages and analyzed by means of Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests. In general, students recognize agroecological systems as healthier for their families and for soil and water conservation, largely because they do not use agrochemicals. However, they demonstrated difficulties when arguing their importance for the conservation of biodiversity, ecosystems and for ensuring the food security of populations. Television was the main source of information related to agroecology, mainly for students residing in rural areas, thus pointing out shortcomings in basic education regarding the approach of the theme in schools. Our results show the need to build a complex network of knowledge and discussions on agroecological agricultural systems in basic education, involving changes in student perceptions, behaviors and sustainable choices.

AbstractClimate change presents a major threat to water and sanitation services. There is an urgent need to understand and improve resilience, particularly in rural communities and small towns in low- and middle-income countries that already struggle to provide universal access to services and face increasing threats from climate change. To date, there is a lack of a simple framework to assess the resilience of water and sanitation services which hinders the development of strategies to improve services. An interdisciplinary team of engineers and environmental and social scientists were brought together to investigate the development of a resilience measurement framework for use in low- and middle-income countries. Six domains of interest were identified based on a literature review, expert opinion, and limited field assessments in two countries. A scoring system using a Likert scale is proposed to assess the resilience of services and allow analysis at local and national levels to support improvements in individual supplies, identifying systematic faults, and support prioritisation for action. This is a simple, multi-dimensional framework for assessing the resilience of rural and small-town water and sanitation services in LMICs. The framework is being further tested in Nepal and Ethiopia and future results will be reported on its application.

Introduction: Recruitment and retention of healthcare staff are difficult in rural communities. Poor quality of work life (QWL) may be an underling factor as rural healthcare professionals are often isolated and work with limited resources. However, QWL data on rural emergency (ED) staff is limited. We assessed QWL among nurses and physicians as part of an ongoing study on ED care in Québec. Methods: We selected EDs offering 24/7 medical coverage, with hospitalization beds, in rural or small towns (Stats Canada definition). Of Québec’s 26 rural EDs, 23 (88%) agreed to participate. The online Quality of Work Life Systemic Inventory (QWLSI, with 1 item per 34 “life domains”), was sent to all non-locum ED nurses and physicians (about 500 potential participants). The QWLSI is used for comparing QWL scores to those of a large international database. We present overall and subscale QWL scores as percentiles (PCTL) of scores in the large database, and comparisons of nurses’ and physicians’ scores (t test). Results: Thirty-three physicians and 84 nurses participated. Mean age was 39.8 years (SD=10.1): physicians=37 (7.7) and nurses=40.9 (10.7). Overall QWL scores for all were in the 32nd PCTL, i.e. low. Nurses were in the 28th PCTL and physicians in the 44nd (p>0.05). For both groups, QWL was below the 25th PCTL i.e. very low, for “sharing workload during absence of an employee”, “working equipment”, “flexibility of work schedule”, “impact of working hours on health”, “possibility of being absent for familial reasons”, “relations with employees”. The groups differed (p<0.05) on only two subscales: remuneration and career path. For remuneration, scores were similar on fringe benefits (nurses 22nd PCTL, physicians 32nd) and income security (nurses 72nd, physicians 74th), but differed on income level (nurses 74th, physicians 93rd). The groups differed on all 3 career path items: advancement possibilities (nurses 53th, physicians 91st), possibilities for transfer (nurses 51nd, physicians 84th) and continuing education (nurses 18th, physicians 49th). Conclusion: Overall QWL among rural ED staff is poor. Groups had similar QWL scores except on career path, with physicians perceiving better long-term prospects. Given difficulties in rural recruitment and retention, these findings suggest that QWL should be assessed in rural and urban EDs nationwide.

Article focuses on elaborating social inclusion in health and education policy in DKI Jakarta through Kartu Jakarta Sehat and Kartu Jakarta Pintar program. The program is composed by the governor and vice governor of DKI Jakarta, Joko Widodo and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama. By using interpretative method, secondary data and social exclusion and inclusion concept, this article shows that Kartu Jakarta Sehat and Kartu Jakarta Pintar program can be valued as social inclusion program. Through Kartu Jakarta Pintar program everyone who is the citizen of DKI Jakarta can participate in basic education; and through Kartu Jakarta Sehat all citizens of DKI Jakarta get merely health services. The policies make education and health services more open for all people. Participation in education and getting health services are the rights of all people. These rights were acknowledged by international community through International Convension about economic, social and cultural rights in 1966. This convention was ratified by the Indonesian Government through Law Number 11, 2005. So the normative basis of Kartu Jakarta Sehat and Kartu Jakarta Pintar Program is identified as inclusion policy in accordance with the expectation of international community and also is appropriate with the Law of Indonesia.

Health And Well Being

Abstract Age-friendly communities promote active, healthy, socially connected aging. Opportunities for social connections are key for older residents to enjoy the best possible health and well-being. Communities that join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities (AARP NAFSC) include an aging lens in eight areas of community life—social participation, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information, housing, transportation, community support and health services, and outdoor spaces and buildings. By addressing factors in these eight areas, communities encourage residents to enjoy formal participation in activities and groups and informal contacts with friends, neighbors and other residents. The purpose of this exploratory study was to find out if communities that join the AARP NAFSC plan and implement changes to enhance social connectedness. A review of 62 AARP-approved action plans nationwide, showed that social connectedness was included in 74% of the mission statements and was a goal in 92% of the plans. The lack of resources in rural communities creates special challenges; many age-friendly initiatives depend on community volunteers to implement changes on a shoe-string budget. To learn how rural age-friendly communities promote social connections, an email survey was distributed to 46 AARP NAFSC communities in rural Maine. All the communities responded. Fostering social connectedness was an explicit goal for 88% of the communities. Areas of implementation included services and activities (83%), communication (61%), transportation (30%), programming to include isolated residents (26%), accessible public spaces (22%), and intergenerational volunteering (17%). Implications will be discussed.
