Destaca-se inicialmente a relevância deste objeto de estudo em função das características destas bolsas e, também, em função da riqueza de informações e possibilidades de análises que se apresentam através da transformação dessa base de dados gerada com fins administrativos para uma base com a finalidade de gerar indicadores científicos e tecnológicos. As análises aqui apresentadas focalizando apenas algumas das informações contidas nestas bases de dados – área acadêmica, estado e instituição do trabalho do bolsista – mostram que muitas informações podem ser geradas e revelar algumas características e desequilíbrios que podem ser úteis para subsidiar políticas de governo e o monitoramento da C&T no país.[en]Scholarships granted to senior researchers in Brazil are analysed here using the inscription forms data base as a data source. Emphasis is given to the quality and the diversity of information that can be extracted form these files that are built with administrative purposes; it is considered here that relevant science and technological indicators can be produced with the academic and strategic use of these files. Analyses presented in this paper focus only three types of information available from this data source: academic field, state of origin and institution to which the researcher is affiliated. Some regional, institutional and other unbalances observed throughout the analyses undertaken suggest that these data could be regularly used in support science policy decisions and monitoring

This paper detaches the contribution of Brazilian Research Institutes for the development of Brazilian science and the importance of contextual, background and academic tasks involvement in scientific production in those institutes, giving special attention to gender differences. Data from government graduate programs evaluation forms were obtained for the analyses presented here which take into account all professor-researchers 890 women and 1,470 men affiliated to 72 graduate programs under the responsibility of 31 Brazilian Research Institutes (BRI), the majority of which supported by the Federal Government. The main findings include: women are a minority in those institutes, are concentrated in the health and biological sciences, show higher scientific production than their male colleagues, especially in journal articles and among those involved in highly evaluated graduate programs. We believe the set of results presented in this paper may contribute to a better understanding of women’s participation not only in BRI, which are dedicated to specific scientific areas, but also in Brazilian science in general and so contribute to gender governmental policy.

Neste artigo focalizam-se inicialmente as multiplas dimensoes sociais consideradas, em varios levantamentos nacionais e internacionais, como condicionantes do acesso a internet. A seguir, destaca-se a tendencia, observada em diversas pesquisas, de focalizar multiplos aspectos do uso da internet na vida diaria, especialmente do seu uso efetivo, aquele capaz de contribuir para melhorar as condicoes sociais dos individuos e sua atuacao como cidadaos. As analises apresentadas sobre o Brasil sao baseadas nos dados do IBGE/PNAD 2005. Estes dados mostram que o acesso a internet no pais segue, como em outros contextos, um forte padrao social. O exame da relacao entre tipos de acesso e uso da internet e algumas caracteristicas sociais dos usuarios sugerem que sao poucos os brasileiros que tem condicoes de fazer um uso efetivo da rede, isto e, um uso com condicoes de contribuir para melhorar as suas chances de vida e lhes dar voz como cidadaos.

Gender differences in ICT access and use suggesting lower levels of information literacy among women, also indicate that the perspectives of women in the Knowledge society are threatened. The objective of this work is to bring data and discussion on the Brazilian young generation, focusing on gender question. We point out questions about how girls are accessing and using the internet and their internet abilities. The data considered in the analyses presented were obtained from annual surveys from the Brazilian Bureau of Census (IBGE) and Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br). Results suggest that, although girls are accessing the internet equally, they do not have the same profile of internet use and appropriation, and girls are being directed to some specific activities. Besides, the boys seem to show a better self-image of internet abilities than girls.
