This article considers life stories and autobiographical narratives as research instruments. It explains the life story method and its possible uses in the field of public health. It includes comments and reflections based on the author's experiences as she did research on the life stories of women, families and individuals in vulnerable situations. The author argues that the life story method, as well as the narratives, enables both the narrator and the researcher to reconstruct their experiences and to the reinterpret the meaning of what happened.

This article aims to analyze the vision of science and knowledge production in its transition to modernity and contemporaneity within the meaning of an education based on creativity that values diverse knowledge. This reflection is a bibliographical character with a qualitative approach. Its theoretical foundation brings the realization of the concepts of the traditional paradigm in the context of modern science and the emerging paradigm today with a creative vision and interdisciplinary contemplating the whole of life, from the pedagogical, while production of knowledge. It is noticeable that in the contemporary perspective of creativity to transforming perspective has sought reconnection of knowledge that involves all areas of humanity valuing imagination, originality, flexibility, thinking, feeling and learning within the aspects encompassing the wholeness of life on the planet.

Objective: to examine the life trajectory of women with mastectomy members of a self-help group. Method: descriptive and exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, using the approach of the oral history of life as a methodological benchmark, meeting the operational phases. The participants were 20 women with mastectomy, whose narratives, considered discursive manifestations were submitted to the analysis of the collective subject discourse. Results: three thematic axes were elaborated, supported by their respective core ideas, each one was referent to before, during and after mastectomy: "to face life bravely" - "normal life", "separation", "change", "work" and "children"; "I have talked to God" - "prevention/care procedures", "diagnosis/treatment", "feelings/emotions" and "changes"; "reorganization with more objectivity and experience" - "creed", "change" and "feelings/emotions". Conclusion: it is recognized the need for studies into the mastectomy women to support public policies, or simply to enable health professionals to a humanized care.

The promotion of quality of work life programs has become the way it is possible to
develop and maintain motivation and commitment of workers, resulting in numerous
benefits. Currently, many companies havesought to incorporate standardized
programs Quality of Work Life (QWL) immediately, without strategic planning and
proper investment. This causes them to obtain results contrary to those expected.
Each program must have a direction, since each company has its specificity. Thus, it
should be a diagnosis of problems and limitations of occupational activities, as well
as the physical and human resources, it canforward the planning and execution of
actions to be implemented. This study aimed to present suggestions of actions and
promotional programs for QWL to be used asa model, aiming to worker health and
gain business. Was conducted a bibliographic research by consulting the following
databases: DEDALUS, LILACS, MEDLINE and SciELO, based on the periods of
1995-2008. It is concluded that there is much to do. Should then reduce the gap
between rhetoric and practice, so that the QWL is not just another fad and will not
disappear before the first difficulty to be faced.

The measurement of Quality of Life at Work (QLW) has been emerging in the scientific
community as an important tool for investigating and evaluating the occupational health of individuals in a holistic manner. The measurement instruments are developed
for many different purposes and directions, being held by generic scales of health
status and specific scales to a given situation. The objective of this study is to discuss
important aspects related to QLW and present in a systematic concept, indicators and
measurement instruments used and validated in Brazil. Was conducted a study of
narrative review of available knowledge in the literature, consultation with the
following databases: DEDALUS, LILACS, MEDLINE and Scielo, based on the
periods of 1995-2008. It was conclude that in spiteof being instruments recognized
nationally and internationally, therefore further studies of application are not
needed to ensure better their psychometric properties, applicability, better
management and the possible interference inter-examiner.

The measuring instruments are developed for many different purposes and directions, being held by
generic scales of health status and specific scales to a given situation. This study aimed to discuss
the important issues that permeate the use of measuring instruments and provide a systematic way
of indicators and measuring instruments used in QL and validated in Brazil. It was conducted a
study of narrative review of available knowledge in the literature, consultation with the following
databases: DEDALUS, LILACS, MEDLINE and Scielo, based on the periods of 1995-2008. It was
observed that the instruments that were raised are more suitable for application in the Brazilian
population, with good internal consistency, validity and test-retest reliability. It was conclude that
despite national and internationally agreed instruments, are still scope to better ensure their
psychometric properties, better form of administration and the possible interference inter-examiner.

Based on the film "Dead Poets Society" (1989), the article points out the chaos created within the traditional North American school Welton through the work of Professor John Keating in the establishment of new teaching and learning methods for literature, as it tends to to encourage the questioning about the meaning and value of life and the cultivation of oneself as a possibility of producing a new and extemporaneous content and knowledge as an affirmation of the forces of life. Thus, based on Friedrich Nietzsche's (1844-1900) critique of "historical culture" as a product of the contradiction involving life and culture, the article emphasizes that the knowledge that has roots in "historical culture" is characterized as an unproductive capital, signaling the inexistence of rights of Philosophy between historical culture and the formative-educational process and the need for a correlation between art and philosophy before science and truth. Therefore, opposing the transformation of philosophy into erudition in the name of "historical culture" and the "philosophers" who place themselves at its service, Nietzsche denounces the reduction of being, life and vision to the framework of concepts, opinions, pasts, books in a critical analysis that focuses on the question involving philosophy professors between life and the science of universal becoming: philosophers or servers of "history"?

L'article se penche sur la "participation" des populations à la régulation des techno-sciences et des techno-produits qui arrivent sur les marchés et affectent les modes de vie, l'environnement ou la santé. Une double thèse y est développée. La première conduit à la nécessité de réfléchir aux moyens de défendre et protéger celles et ceux qui interrogent les pratiques techno-industrielles (quant à la sécurité des systèmes mis en oeuvre par exemple) ou qui questionnent les certitudes académiques (lorsque celles-ci légifèrent trop vite sur des questions en jeu dans l'espace public). La deuxième thèse propose de placer la question de la participation dans des perspectives politiques et économiques plus vastes, en lien aux univers des marchés et de la politique professionnelle. Une conclusion majeure est que la participation est toujours invoquée formellement mais qu'on tend en pratique à réduire son usage aux cas exceptionnels où la bataille publique fait rage et ne peut être évitée ; dans les autres cas, on la contourne en la remplaçant par exemple par l'éthique instituée en comités – comités fermés mais censés "représenter la Société Civile", capables d'agir vite et, s'ils sont bien choisis, dans la bonne direction. On passe ainsi d'une régulation par la loi et le droit d'une part, des procédures participatives ouvertes de l'autre, à des formes de régulation fermées et ad hoc permettant la mise rapide sur le marché de nouvelles technologies. ; The article focuses on the "participation" of the populations in the regulation of techno-sciences and techno-products that get to the market and affect the way of life, the environment or health. In this case, a double thesis is developed. The first leads to the need to reflect on the means of defending and protecting those who challenge techno-industrial practices (for example, regarding the safety of the implemented systems) or those who question academic certainty (when these legislate very fast on issues at play in the public sphere). The second thesis proposes to place the issue of participation in wider political and economic perspectives, in relation to the market and professional politics. In the end, it is realized that participation is always formally invoked, but, in actual fact, the trend is to reduce participation to exceptional cases where the public struggle is violent and cannot be avoided; and in other cases it is sidestepped or forgotten, being substituted by ethics instituted in committees – closed committees, but supposedly "representing Civil Society", able to move rapidly and, if well chosen, in the right direction. Thus, going from one regulation by the law and by rights, onone side, and participative processes, on the other, to closed and ad hoc forms of regulation allowing for the fast introduction of new technologies in the markets.

Este artigo tem a preocupação de analisar uma das experiências de colonização vivenciadas por colonos maranhenses que migraram para o Pará nas décadas de 1970 e 1980. Diante de um conjunto de depoimentos expressos por colonos que atuaram neste processo, buscamos entender o fenômeno da migração e colonização das terras do Pará, marcado pelo desafio de ocupar terras em que a floresta se constituía como paisagem predominante. É também um exercício de compreender as ações de homens e mulheres que no exercício de lidar com a terra e floresta constroem experiências de vida, estabelecem relações e asseguram a sobrevivência. Os deslocamentos, as ações de solidariedades e companheirismo, os conflitos entre os colonos e a busca por novas terras são questões também reveladas pelas experiências de migrantes maranhenses.

The present article's main objective is to investigate the nuances of the relation established between the notion of love of fate and the thought of the eternal recurrence as they appear in book IV of "The gay science" (1882), work of Friedrich Nietzsche. The affirmative sense of this work, which is expressed in a poetic and artistic way, allows us to start the analysis of the questions to be explored from an aesthetic perspective. We intend, therefore, to approach the different meanings of the concept of art in Nietzsche's philosophy in order to better understand the concept of life as a work of art - from that, thinking possible ways of articulation between the notion of life as a work of art and the communication of love of fate and the eternal recurrence as constituent parts of the project of transvaluation of values. This research facilitates a better understanding of the possible relation that the philosopher establishes between the notion of love of fate - which takes place in the first aphorism of book IV - and the thought of the eternal recurrence - which is announced in the penultimate aphorism of the same book. Therefore, the article investigates to what extent and how the mutual crossing of both concepts occurs and its relevance in the general framework of Nietzsche's philosophy.

The guidelines that regulate ethics in research involving human beings in Brazil, especially those that refer to the areas of the human and social sciences and to the sciences of education, are analysed in their relationships to bioethics and the sciences of life. The difficulties raised by researchers in the human areas in their dialogue with the interdisciplinary ethics committees are considered, including the possibility of disconnecting the authorization for research in these areas from the CEPs-CONEP system, the National System of Committees of Ethics in Research run by the National Health Board. Nevertheless, it is argued that the main focus of this system of ethics in research is the protection of the physical and mental health of the participants, which is considered a question within the area of bioethics and health, and broadly as a biopsychosocial process. It is also observed that the data collection techniques developed by the human and social sciences (interviews, questionnaires, observations or participant observations) are also utilized by the sciences of life. These considerations indicate that the dialogue between the areas, proportioned by the interdisciplinary composition of the ethics committees, is salutary and necessary for the good functioning of the system, despite the possibility, contemplated in the legislation, of specific committees existing for judging research ethics in the human and social sciences. It is proposed that new research be carried out for monitoring the functioning of the committees of ethics in universities and research institutions to perfect the regulatory system. ; As diretrizes que regulam a ética na pesquisa com seres humanos no Brasil, em especial no que se refere às áreas das ciências humanas e sociais e às ciências da educação, são analisadas em suas relações com a bioética e as ciências da vida. As dificuldades levantadas por pesquisadores da área de humanas no diálogo com os comitês de ética interdisciplinares são consideradas, inclusive a possibilidade de desvincular a autorização da pesquisa nessas áreas do sistema CEPs-CONEP, sistema nacional de Comitês de Ética na Pesquisa gerido pelo Conselho Nacional de Saúde. Argumenta-se, contudo, que o foco principal do sistema da ética na pesquisa é a proteção da saúde física e mental dos participantes, o que configura uma questão afeita à bioética e à área da saúde, de maneira ampla, como processo biopsicossocial. Observa-se também que as técnicas de coleta de dados desenvolvidas pelas ciências humanas e sociais (entrevistas, questionários, observações participantes ou não) são também utilizadas pelas ciências da vida. Essas considerações indicam que o diálogo entre as áreas, propiciado pela composição de Comitês de Ética interdisciplinares, é salutar e necessário ao bom funcionamento do sistema, em que pese a possibilidade, admitida na legislação, da existência de comitês específicos para o julgamento da ética na pesquisa em ciências humanas e sociais. Propõe-se que novas pesquisas sejam feitas para o acompanhamento do funcionamento dos comitês de ética em universidades e instituições de pesquisa visando ao aprimoramento do sistema de regulação.

São revisados os conceitos de regulação em saúde empregados em publicações científicas nacionais sobre gestão em saúde. Elaborou-se uma tipologia para os conceitos de regulação a partir das ideias mais correntes em cinco disciplinas: ciências da vida, direito, economia, sociologia e ciência política. Quatro ideias destacaram-se: controle, equilíbrio, adaptação e direção, com maior ênfase para a natureza técnica da regulação. A natureza política da regulação ficou em segundo plano. Considera-se que a discussão do conceito de regulação em saúde relacionou-se com a compreensão do papel que o Estado exerce nesse setor. A definição das formas de intervenção do Estado é o ponto fundamental de convergência entre as distintas formas de se conceituar regulação em saúde. ; Se revisaron los conceptos de regulación en salud empleados en publicaciones científicas nacionales sobre gestión en salud.

A typo-logical classification for regulatory concepts was developed from the most current ideas in five disciplines: life sciences, law, economics, sociology and political science. Four ideas stood out: control, balance, adaptation and direction, with greatest emphasis on the technical nature of regulation. The political nature of regulation was secondary. It was considered that dis-cussion of healthcare regulatory concepts was connected with comprehension of the role that the state plays in this sector. De-finition of the forms of state intervention is the key convergence point between the different ways of conceptualizing healthcare regulation.

The identification of the food consumption profile as well as the nutritional status in schoolchildren becomes very important, because it is during this phase of life that healthy eating habits are formed, which contribute to a healthy life until adulthood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the eating habits frequency and the anthropometric profile of children from 5 to 10 years of age, from a private school in Palmas, Tocantins. A total of 184 children, both boys and girls, who underwent an anthropometric evaluation and answered a food consumption form were evaluated. Of the students evaluated, most were eutrophic, 37% presented nutritional risk and 4.3%, severe obesity. Dietary intake was similar between both sexes and for all classes of nutritional status. The results highlighted the need forfood and nutrition education for these children, including family and school settings.
