Este artigo sintetiza os principais resultados de pesquisa desenvolvida acerca das tendências contemporâneas da participação popular a partir da experiência de participação no âmbito dos conselhos municipais de saúde do estado doEspírito Santo. O principal objetivo do estudo é demonstrar como as novas modalidades de organização, mobilização e comunicação dos movimentos sociais (coletivos, redes e fóruns) afetaram os processos de participação popular no âmbito da política de saúde, especialmente as estratégias de informação e comunicação, a estrutura e dinâmica de funcionamento dos conselhos. É um estudo de caso cuja coleta de dados foi realizada por meio da análise de documentos públicos e sites, acompanhamento das redes sociais de movimentos e conselhos, observação das reuniões de movimentos e conselhos eentrevistas. O principal resultado da pesquisa é a constatação da existência de um hiato entre os mecanismos de participação construídos como forma de viabilizar a democracia participativa e as demandas por participação direta decoletivos, redes e fóruns.Palavras-chave: Participação popular. Movimentos sociais.

The main objective of the study was to demonstrate how newmodes of organization, mobilization and communication of social movements (collectives, networks and forums) affect the processes of public participation in the ambit of health policy. This is a case study whose data the collection of data was carried out through the analysis of public documents and websites, following the social networks of social movements and councils, observation on the meetings of social movements and councils, and interviews. The main result of the research is the finding of a gap between the participation mechanisms built as a way to make participatory democracy viable and the demands for direct participation of collectives, networks and forums.Keywords: Public participation.

Special Case

Aboriginal peoples in Canada present a special case of citizen involvement in forest governance, with rights and statusthat go beyond those of other stakeholders and individuals. Increasingly, participation processes aimed specifically atAboriginal representatives are being used to encourage their involvement in forest management. This article asks whatwould be the characteristics of a distinct process that could respond to Aboriginal rights, needs and expectations. We doso by combining the results of a broad Québec-wide study with those from a case study of forestry participation in a singlecommunity. A total of 68 consultation processes are analyzed. These experiences enable the identification of severalcharacteristics of consultation processes used for First Nations. We also note that distinct consultations typically reflectthe same practices that are used more generally for public participation in forestry, raising the question of whether or notthese consultations truly respond to Aboriginal rights, needs and expectations in Québec.Key words: Aboriginal peoples, Aboriginal forestry, forest management, public participation mechanisms, duty to consult,Canada

OBJETIVO: Traçar o perfil do uso de substâncias psicoativas entre os universitários do curso de Enfermagem do Centro de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, descritivo, transversal e quantitativo, desenvolvido com universitários de Enfermagem do primeiro ao último ano do curso. O instrumento utilizado na coleta de dados foi o "Questionário sobre o Uso de Droga", uma adaptação do proposto pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) e desenvolvido pela WHO - Research and Reporting Project on the Epidemiology of Drug Dependence. Os dados foram tabulados e analisados por meio do programa Statistical Packcage for the Social Science (SPSS, 2005). RESULTADOS: Dos universitários, 82% são do sexo feminino, 46,6% se encontram na faixa etária de 20 a 22 anos e 41% pertencem à classe social B. Quanto ao uso de substâncias psicoativas, 43,9% fizeram uso na vida de alguma substância, exceto álcool e tabaco, 82,1% relataram uso na vida de álcool, 11,7% informaram uso freqüente e 6,2% uso pesado dessa substância, e 22,4% mencionaram uso na vida de tabaco. CONCLUSÃO: Faz-se necessária a prevenção do uso indevido de substâncias psicoativas entre universitários, por meio de disciplinas curriculares que abordem a temática ou de programas específicos destinados a essa população.

Unique Context

Social capital's rise in popularity is a phenomenon many have noted (Kadushin, 2006; Warde and Tampubolon, 2002; Portes, 1998). Although the concept is a relatively old one, it is the works of Bourdieu (1986), Coleman (1988; 1990), and Putnam (1993, 2000) that often get credited for popularizing the concept. These three, while sharing a view that social networks are important for social groups and society, place differing levels of emphasis on the role of networks in building trust or the exchange of various types of resources. In this paper, I briefly revisit these three theorists, and the criticisms each have received, to provide background for discussing recent research on social capital from a social networks approach. The social network approach is then applied to my own case study looking at the relations among not-for-profits, and special attention is given to the unique context of not-for-profits, and how this context might elaborate or challenge current thoughts on social, aka ‘network’ capital. A final discussion is also given to some measurement problems with the network approach to social capital.

Collection Methods

To test the efficacy of nominative technique within a small sample, we performed a total of 179 semi-structured interviews in Luang Prabang, northern Laos, in August 2017 and April 2019, using the domestic consumption of bears in northern Lao People’s Democratic Republic (hereafter Laos) as our case study. We also assessed whether the specialised questioning technique of nominative technique could be used within qualitative data collection methods, such as semi-structured interviews. The technique theoretically ensures more accurate statements of illegal wildlife consumption behaviour, by maintaining the anonymity of an individual’s sensitive behaviour through asking about the behaviour of peers. We also directly asked about participants’ use of bear bile. Nominative technique showed that approximately 11% of the participants’ peers used bear products, with respondents’ direct admittance of using bear bile was nearly double, at 23%. Use of bear parts appears to not be sensitive in northern Laos. In addition, a strong association was found between nominative technique and direct questioning responses, which indicates that users of bear parts have social networks with higher levels of use. This lends supports to theories that use of wildlife products is directly influenced by the social group. The underreporting found through nominative technique indicates the high variability of response that can occur within small samples; however, these results show that nominative technique may be a simple, useful tool for triangulating data, assessing users’ integration into social networks of use, and assessing changes in behaviour prevalence.

Traditional Activity

Artisanal fishing is an important traditional activity on the coast of Espírito Santo (ES) State, southeastern Brazil. Despite this, there is a lack of updated data on artisanal fishing and its interfaces with socioenvironmental oceanography. The present study describes the social profile of fishers (gender, age, education, and period of professional activity) and the fishing activity (fishing gear and target species) along the coast of Espírito Santo State. Interviews with semi-structured questionnaires were carried out with 366 artisanal fishers living in 10 fishing communities. The interviewed fishers are mostly male, with low education, who had been fishing for more than 41 years (32%). The fishers described 59 target ethnospecies, with eight being common in 90% (n = 9) of the communities under study. These workers use the following fishing gear: line, longline, gillnet, trawl net, and harpoon. Socioenvironmental oceanography enables obtaining basic information on artisanal fishing, which can support the development of public policies for the sector with a view to maintaining this activity in Espírito Santo State.
