The educational nature of sport was in the foundation of the Olympic Movement since its inception. Understood as a pedagogical tool, sport was seen by Pierre de Coubertin as a possibility of celebration among people, a way to promote peace and development. In this sense, the Olympic Games are considered the public face of this pedagogical effort, and the understanding of Olympic education promotes values and knowledge on the sports universe and all its symbolic acquis. This argument triggers Olympic education programs by countries and cities involved in sport competitions based on the Olympic model. The aim of this study was to present the Olympic Education program developed by the São Paulo Secretary of Education for teachers working in the public school network of São Paulo. This course conducted over the years 2012 and 2013 relied on the participation of 250 teachers, mostly involved with Student Olympics, competition involving public schools of São Paulo.

A serosurvey of varicella has been carried out in children attending the public school network of São Paulo city, Brazil, from 1992 to 1994. This study was performed in order to establish the age related prevalence of antibodies against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and its age specific transmission dynamics pattern in these children. Among 2500 schools in the city of São Paulo public network, 304 were randomly selected; 7 children of a given age (ranging from 1 to 15 years) were randomly selected in each school, and blood samples were obtained by fingerprick into filter paper. Blood eluates were analyzed for the presence of antibodies to VZV by ELISA. Proportion of seropositivity were calculated for each age group. Samples consisted of 1768 individuals in 1992, 1758 in 1993, and 1817 in 1994, resulting in 5343 eluates. A high proportion of seropositive children from 1 to 3 years of age was observed, ascending until 10 years of age and reaching a plateau around 90% afterwards. VZV transmission in this community was similar along the three years of the study. In children attending public schools in the city of São Paulo, contact with VZV occurs in early childhood. If immunization against VZV is considered it should be introduced as soon as possible.

The association between scientific knowledge and attitudes toward science has historical, social and political implications. Therefore, it becomes essential to assess public attitudes in face of science as these relate to the changing context of scientific practices and their implications on practical and social problems. Thus, this paper presents results of a survey developed from a mixed approach, which evaluated the public perception of science and attitudes in face of the scientific and technological development, from the perspective of biotechnology, in a public composed of undergraduate students from different places of São Paulo State, in Brasil. The results obtained by confirmatory factor analysis are indicators that show that the conceptions that people have about science directly and positively influences their attitudes to science.

A discussão sobre a concessão das unidades de conservação é extremamente importante e tem gerado polêmica no Estado de São Paulo, devido à aprovação da Lei Nº 16.260, de 29 de junho de 2016, que “autoriza a Fazenda do Estado a conceder a exploração de serviços ou o uso, total ou parcial, de áreas em próprios estaduais”. A pesquisa e o debate sobre o tema são fundamentais para compreensão e reflexão das possibilidades e consequências da escolha deste caminho para as UCs, ainda que estes devessem anteceder a tomada de decisão. As atividades turísticas e de lazer estão dentre os principais serviços a serem concedidos a iniciativa privada nos Parques Estaduais. Embora essas atividades estejam dentre os objetivos deste tipo de categoria de UC é preeminente ressaltar que a conservação deve nortear a gestão. O Estado é responsável por proteger importantes fragmentos de Mata Atlântica e Cerrado, em áreas com diferentes tipos de ocupação e pressão. Para tanto, necessita de investimento em pessoal capacitado, infraestrutura e equipamentos, além do apoio e diálogo com comunidades tradicionais, que tenham relação com as áreas. O que se observa atualmente é a precarização dos serviços prestados, em que os servidores públicos não têm plano de carreira e os guarda-parques, funcionários primordiais para essas áreas, estão se extinguindo e com eles todo um rico conhecimento. A maioria dos gestores é comissionada e em alguns casos não tem formação adequada para função. A fiscalização é terceirizada e patrimonial deixando que a Floresta propriamente dita, fique a mercê de usos indevidos e inadequados como ocupação irregular, extração de flora, caça, depósito de entulhos, entre outros. É fato que as atividades de uso público realizadas atualmente estão aquém das possibilidades dos parques. A concessão de serviços como alimentação, hospedagem, aluguel de equipamentos e implantação de estruturas para atividades de ecoturismo podem sim ser uma alternativa para dinamizar o uso desses espaços e gerar recursos. Há diversos exemplos de sucesso no exterior e no Brasil, que podem ser inspiradores. Porém, é necessário fundamentalmente que o Estado assuma a responsabilidade legal de salvaguardar as UCs, valorizando a carreira dos servidores públicos investindo em concursos e capacitações. Somente com uma estrutura organizacional fortalecida será possível conduzir com eficiência processos de concessão, que contribuam com a otimização de uso adequado desses espaços. As UCs fornecem serviços ambientais imensuráveis e dentre eles estão às oportunidades turismo, lazer e recreação. Tourism Concessions in Protected Areas of São Paulo state (Brazil): reflections, opportunities and challenges ABSTRACT The discussion on the concession of protected areas is extremely important and has generated controversy in the State of São Paulo, due to the approval of the draft law Nº 16.260, that "authorizes the State Treasury to grant the exploitation of services or use of all or part of areas in state themselves." Research and debate on the subject are fundamental to understanding and reflection of the possibilities and consequences of choosing this way for protected area, even if they were to precede decision-making. Tourist and leisure activities are among the main services to be granted to private initiative in the State Parks. Although these activities are among the goals of that category of PA is paramount to emphasize that conservation should guide the management. The State is responsible for protecting important fragments of Atlantic Forest and Savannah, in areas with different types of occupation and pressure. Therefore, it needs investment in trained personnel, infrastructure and equipment, and support and dialogue with traditional communities that relate to the areas. What we currently see is the precariousness of services, where public servants have no career plan and park rangers, primary staff to these areas, they are dying off and with them a whole wealth of knowledge. Most managers are commissioned and in some cases do not have adequate training to function. The inspection is outsourced and property letting the forest itself, be at the mercy of undue and inappropriate uses such as illegal occupation, flora extraction, hunting, debris deposit, among others. It is true that the public use activities currently performed are beyond the means of the parks. The concession of services such as food, lodging, equipment rental and implementation of ecotourism activities to structures can indeed be an alternative to boost the use of these spaces and generate resources. There are many examples of success in Brazil and abroad, which can be inspiring. However, it is fundamentally necessary that the State assumes the legal responsibility to safeguard the protected areas, enhancing the careers of public servants investing in competitions and training. Only with a strengthened organizational structure will be possible to drive efficiently concession processes that contribute to the optimization of appropriate use of these spaces. PAs provide immeasurable environmental services and among them are the opportunities tourism, leisure and recreation. KEYWORDS: State Parks; Public Use; Management; Conservation.

Abstract Hierarchies established in schools can lead to violence among students, particularly bullying, and this relationship is investigated in this study. A School Hierarchies Scale and a Peer Perception of Aggression Scale were applied to 274 9th grade students, both sexes, aged 14.08 years (SD = 0.81) old on average, attending four public schools in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The students more frequently perceived to be popular, were among the best in physical education and/or among the worst in academic subjects were also more frequently perceived to be bullies, while those more frequently perceived to be unpopular and having the worst performance in physical education were also more frequently perceived to be victims. Therefore, teachers should reflect upon the issue and fight school violence that may arise from these hierarchies.

PurposeThe authors examine predictors of self-legitimacy for police officers belonging to the Military Police force of São Paulo (Brazil). Considering the variables mobilized by the literature on self-legitimacy, the authors seek to identify what explains the self-legitimacy of militarized police officers.Design/methodology/approachA survey was applied to 298 frontline police officers in the city of São Paulo, analyzing indicators separated into two groups: relationship dimension and organizational dimension. An ordinary least square model is used to test the “relationship” and “organizational” variables on police officers' self-legitimacy.FindingsEffectiveness is the strongest predictor for self-legitimacy. Organizational justice and distributive justice also present important effects, as the perception of citizens' attitudes toward police reinforces the conception of self-legitimacy as a dialogical construct, comprising here the public's expectations of police work as well as the police officers' perceptions that they are respected and considered important by the public.Originality/valueThere are no other studies on self-legitimacy related to Brazilian police officers or exploring these aspects among police officers submitted to a militarized structure. These results contribute to the ongoing debate on the militarization of police activities and their possible effects on police legitimacy.
