A videotape playback treatment was investigated in the present study with regard to its effects on acceptance of responsibility for conflict in distressed couples. Three major hypotheses were tested. The first hypothesis that subjects given videotape playback of their pretherapy sessions would show a significant increase in self-attribution was supported.The second hypothesis that subjects who received videotape playback of their pretherapy sessions would show a significant increase in the frequency of self-attributional statements was also supported. Results of the present study did not support the final hypothesis that following a significant increase in self-attribution. It was concluded that videotape playback may provide an effective means of facilitating acceptance of responsibility for conflict in distressed couples. The implication for practitioners is that videotape playback could accelerate the marital therapy process through facilitation of the acceptance of responsibility.

ABSTRACT In the year 2003 and 2005, several legislative changes were made to same-sex couples advantage. Among other things, lesbian couples were given the right to be tested as adoptive parents and the possibility of assisted reproduction through the county councils. With such changes in law, society and family constellations are evolving today with more forms than the existing nuclear family. Similarly, the choice of approaches to forming a family in a same-sex relationship increases, two alternatives outside the county Council's assisted conception are; Insemination by clinic in another country or home insemination with private donated sperm. When insemination in same-sex relationship occurs at home or by clinic in another country, subsequent paternity investigations and Related adoption are required for the non-biological mother to be considered as legal parent, an investigation requested by the District Court and operated by Social Service in each municipality. With the possibility of same-sex couples to be tested as adoptive parents also follows expectations about the investigation procedure and its guidelines as a partner in the development. The aim of this study is to try to create a synthesized knowledge about the investigation process of paternity investigation and Related adoption, when it occurs in same-sex relationship. This by jointly trying to understand the experiences of women and Social workers ' in the investigation process and its content. The study is based on qualitative interviews with both women who have undergone the process and social secretaries who dealt with these cases. The result is a dominant shared experience of unclear guidelines where there is a demand for nuanced legislation and updated dossiers. / SAMMANFATTNING Under år 2003 och år 2005 gjordes flera lagförändringar till samkönade pars fördel. Bland annat fick lesbiska par rätt till att prövas som adoptivföräldrar och möjlighet till assisterad befruktning via landstingen. Med sådana lagändringar utvecklas samhället och familjekonstellationer idag har fler former än den ännu rådande kärnfamiljen. Likaså ökar valmöjligheterna av tillvägagångssätt för att bilda familj i en samkönad relation, två alternativ utanför landstingets assisterade befruktning är; insemination via utrikesklinik eller heminsemination med privat donerade spermier. När insemination i samkönad relation sker hemma eller på utrikesklinik krävs efterföljande faderskapsutredning och närståendeadoption för att den icke bärande mamman ska betraktas som juridisk förälder, en utredning som begärs av tingsrätten och som drivs av familjerätten i respektive kommun. Ju med samkönade pars rätt till att prövas som adoptivföräldrar följer också förväntningar kring utredningsförfarandet och dess riktlinjer som medpart i utvecklingen. Syftet med denna studie är att försöka skapa en syntetiserad kunskap kring utredningsförfarandet av faderskapsutredning och närståendeadoption, när det sker i samkönad relation. Detta genom att gemensamt försöka förstå kvinnors och familjerättssekreterares upplevelser av utredningsprocessen och dess innehåll. Studien baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer med både kvinnor som genomgått processen och familjerättssekreterare som handlagt dessa ärenden. I resultatet framkommer en dominerande gemensam upplevelse av otydliga riktlinjer där det finns en efterfrågan om nyanserad lagstiftning och uppdaterade underlag.

Os processos de secularização pelos quais vem passando o país têm tornado visível o avanço do número de casais que se separam e voltam a viver em união marital. Essa situação não diminui sua vontade e desejo de participar da comunidade de fé, ocasionando assim um clima de necessidade pastoral que auxilie esses casais, que se encontram em condições difíceis e, por vezes, muito delicadas e conflituosas. Por isso, evidencia-se a cada dia a criação de pastorais que estejam prontas a andar junto e a prestar o serviço evangélico de solidariedade aos casais em segunda união. Nesta tarefa, o presente trabalho de conclusão de mestrado profissional intenta apontar algumas possibilidades de auxílio terapêutico, dialogando com a terapia de casais de viés analítico e com o aconselhamento pastoral, sem deixar de fazer referências ao posicionamento da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana, com suas diretrizes pastorais. / The processes of secularization which the country has undergone have made visible progress in the number of couples who separate and return to live in marital union. This situation does not reduce their willingness and desire to join a community of faith. Thus it causes a climate of pastoral need in order to assist these couples, who are in hard and sometimes very delicate and conflicting conditions. Therefore, every day we see the creation of pastorals that are ready to walk together and provide the Gospel service of solidarity with the couples on a second marriage. In this task, this dissertation attempts to point out some possibilities for therapeutic help, talking to couples therapy in an analytical way and pastoral counseling, referencing also the position of the Roman Catholic Church and its pastoral guidelines.

Como conseqüência, as redes têm sofrido sobrecargas nas linhas de maneira mais freqüente. Uma maneira prática de se melhorar a capacidade de transferência de potência ativa em uma linha de transmissão é a redução de seu fluxo reativo. Esse controle pode ser feito através de alterações nos controles das fontes de potência reativa e nos taps de transformadores. A definição de quais ações serão tomadas de modo a minimizar o fluxo reativo e aliviar, ou mesmo eliminar, a sobrecarga em uma determinada linha, pode ser realizada através da análise de sensibilidade. Uma vez que se está interessado na resposta do sistema às variações de injeções de reativos, utilizamos a matriz Lc do método CRIC (Calcul de Reseaux Implicitement Couples) de fluxo de potência. Também foi utilizado o modelo constante do método CRIC. A metodologia desenvolvida consiste da manipulação da matriz Lc com outras sensibilidades de primeira ordem, de modo a se obter as sensibilidades entre fluxo reativo nas linhas e injeção de reativos nas barras e fluxo reativo nas linhas e taps dos transformadores. As sensibilidades obtidas fornecem as barras e transformadores mais indicados para alívio de uma determinada sobrecarga e são úteis principalmente em casos emergenciais, nos quais não seja necessária a instalação de novas fontes de reativos. Os resultados obtidos são comparados com os obtidos através de uma metodologia semelhante, que utiliza a matriz jacobiana do método de Newton. Foram utilizados para os testes o sistema Cigré de 32 barras, e o sistema Sul-Sudeste brasileiro em duas configurações de carga diferentes. / The restructuring of energy markets to supply free access to the transmission system and the consequent increase of the number of power transactions has been causing congestions in the transmission systems. As consequence, the networks have been suffering overloads in the lines in a more frequent way. A practice way of improving the transfer capability of active power in a transmission line is to decrease its reactive power flow. That control can be made through changes in the reactive power sources injections and in the transformer ratios of transformers. The definition of which actions will be taken to minimize the reactive flow and to alleviate, or even to eliminate, the overload in a determined line can be accomplished through the sensibility analysis. Once it is interested in the answer of the system to the variations of reactive power injections, we used the matrix Lc from the CRIC (Calcul of Reseaux Implicitement Couples) power flow method. The constant model of CRIC is also used. The developed methodology consists of the manipulation of the matrix Lc with other first order sensibilities, in order to obtain the sensibilities among reactive flow in the lines and reactive power injections in the buses and reactive flow in the lines and transformer ratios of the transformers. The obtained sensibilities indicate the buses and transformers for relieving a certain overload and they are mainly useful in emergency cases, which it is not necessary the installation of new sources of reagents. The obtained results are compared with the obtained through a similar methodology, that uses the of Newton's method jacobian matrix. The methodologies were tested using the 32-bus Cigré network and the South-southeast Brazilian system in two different load configurations.

These changes are guarded and can contribute to strengthen the familiar bond or deprive it. Thus, this study aims to understand the male experience during the partner s puerperal period. In this period, the male interacts and participates according to his understanding of the post-partum period. The male experiences different situations with his partner, family and social environment. This research is descriptive-exploratory and has a qualitative approach. It was developed with 15 men that live with their live with their partners during the puerperal period. The data was collected through a semi-structured interview. These data was treated according to content analysis proposed by Bardin. These were analyzed through Symbolic Interacionism according to Blumer. Thus, three themes emergedshares of care in the home environment, meanings attributed to the puerperium, emotions emerged during the post-partum - the seven subcategories-taking care of the wife and child, supporting the family, moment to rest, fulfillment through fatherhood, sense of joy, feeling of concern and sense of exclusion. It was seen that the subjects experience post-partum mainly by taking care of their partner and child and providing support of the family. Besides the mentioned aspects, there was meaning attributed to the puerperal period, considering it a period of rest for the partner and above all, fatherhood. Thus, even understanding that it is excluded, the subjects expressed joy and worriness towards the child s future, related to the insecurity in which the country goes through in current conjuncture / Ap?s o nascimento de um filho, ou seja, durante o p?s-parto da companheira, o exerc?cio da paternidade, a paternagem, o relacionamento conjugal e sexual, assim como, a defini??o do papel masculino s?o aspectos pass?veis de mudan?as, ainda veladas, que podem contribuir tanto para o fortalecimento dos la?os familiares como para o empobrecimento conjugal. Assim sendo, o estudo em apre?o teve por objetivo compreender a viv?ncia do homem durante o puerp?rio de sua companheira, partindo do pressuposto que, nesse per?odo, ele interage e participa de acordo com seu entendimento acerca do p?s-parto, vivenciando diferentes situa??es junto ? parceira, fam?lia e meio social. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo descritiva-explorat?ria, em uma abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvida junto a 15 homens que coabitam com suas esposas e as mesmas estavam no per?odo puerperal. Os dados foram coletados atrav?s de entrevista semi-estruturada, tratados de acordo com a t?cnica de an?lise de conte?do conforme Bardin e analisados a luz dos princ?pios do Interacionismo Simb?lico, segundo Blumer. Desse processo emergiram tr?s temas a??es de cuidado em ambiente dom?stico, significados atribu?dos ao puerp?rio, emo??es emergidas durante o p?s-parto e sete categorias cuidando da companheira e da crian?a, provendo o sustento da fam?lia, momento de descanso, realiza??o da paternidade, sentimento de alegria, sentimento de preocupa??o, sentimento de exclus?o. Desse modo, obtivemos que os entrevistados experienciam o p?s-parto cuidando de sua companheira e filho, como tamb?m, provendo o sustento da fam?lia. Al?m disso, atribu?ram significados ao puerp?rio considerando-o um per?odo de descanso, para a companheira, e de realiza??o da paternidade. Por fim, mesmo sentindo-se exclu?dos, expressaram alegria e preocupa??o com o futuro do filho em virtude da inseguran?a pela qual passa a atual conjuntura social do pa?s

The concept of family call embraces a migratory alternative that allows a foreigner to stay in another country with  his or her spouse. Taking into account Peru’s legal framework, it is possible to ask if a foreigneris able to appeal to the family call if he or she is married to a person of the same sex? Wouldit be legitimate to recognize a foreign law thatallows same sex marriages?In the following paper, the author answers these and other questions, analyzing concepts such as family, public order, collective morality and familiar migratory unit that are acknowledged in our legal system by appealing, furthermore, to the weighting testof principles in collision. / El concepto de llamado de familia comprende la alternativa migratoria que permite a unextranjero permanecer en otro país con su cónyuge. Dado el marco normativo peruano, podríamos preguntarnos: ¿Es posible que unextranjero, casado con una persona de su mismo sexo, pueda recurrir al llamado de familia? ¿Podría ser válido reconocer una normaextranjera que permita el matrimonio entre personas de un mismo sexo?En el presente artículo, el autor da respuesta a estas y otras preguntas, analizando los conceptos de familia, orden público, moral colectiva y unidad migratoria familiar recogidos en nuestro ordenamiento, aplicando la ponderación entre estos principios.

A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa-interpretativista, elegeu como focos privilegiados de investigação as representações dos participantes acerca do bilingüismo familiar, de suas próprias identidades linguístico-culturais e das de seus cônjuges. O suporte teórico do trabalho adveio, principalmente, de autores do campo da Lingüística Aplicada em interface com as áreas da Linguística, Sociolinguística, Políticas Lingüísticas e Estudos Culturais. O corpus analisado foi composto por registros gerados a partir de entrevistas semiestruturados nas quais se buscou delinear as histórias de vida dos sujeitos da pesquisa. Foram entrevistados 07 progenitores bilíngues residentes no Brasil (03 brasileiros e 04 estrangeiros) que, à época da geração dos registros, eram ou haviam sido casados com falantes de outras línguas que não as suas próprias línguas maternas. A análise dos dados revelou que, dentre outros, fatores como a) as atitudes (dos próprios cônjuges, de seus filhos, de parentes, de amigos, etc.) em relação às línguas e culturas em jogo na família; b) o grau de prestígio das línguas envolvidas; c) o grau de experiência prévia dos pais com ambientes plurilingues e multiculturais; d) o contexto sócio-histórico em que ocorreu a imigração e e) as relações de poder entre os cônjuges contribuíram para a transmissão, ou não, da LMCI aos filhos nas famílias em questão. É preciso ressaltar, no entanto, que nenhum dos fatores pode ser, isoladamente, considerado determinante das políticas linguísticas adotadas nessas famílias, uma vez que tais políticas só podem ser explicadas pela inter-relação entre diferentes fatores. A expectativa é que os resultados dessa pesquisa possam servir de subsídio para se pensar políticas familiares de incentivo à transmissão da língua de progenitores imigrantes, minoritária na família, a seus descendentes / Abstract: The study described in this dissertation has investigated the representations, here understood as discursive constructions, of bilingual parents of intercultural marriages to describe and understand the ways in which these couples' representations shape their disposition to transmit their Immigrant Spouse's Mother Tongue (ISMT) within the family setting. It is a qualitative study which conducts an interpretative analysis of the participants' representation of family bilingualism, their own cultural and linguistic identities and that of their spouse's. The theory which supports this study was generated mainly in the field of Applied Linguistics, in an interface with Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Language Policies and Cultural Studies. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews aiming to delineate the participants' profile utilizing a life story approach. The participants in this study were 7 bilingual parents (4 immigrants and 3 Brazilian citizens) living in Brazil at the time of the interviews, who were or had been married to speakers of a mother tongue other than their own. The study aimed to identify among other factors a) the (spouses' themselves, their children's, relatives', friends', etc.) representations of the languages and cultures at play within the family; b) the status of the languages within the family; c) the spouses' multilingual and multicultural background; d) the social-historical context at the time of immigration and e) the relationships of power between the couple as influential in the (non)transmission of the Immigrant Spouse's Mother Tongue to their children within the family setting. It must be highlighted, however, that none of these factors alone can be regarded as conclusive to the language policy adopted within the family as such policies can only be explained when considered the interrelation among those factors. The study intends to offer subsidies on family language policies that promote the transmission of the immigrant parents' language, i.e., the minority language within the family, to their children / Mestrado / Multiculturalismo, Plurilinguismo e Educação Bilingue / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

A epidemia promovida pela infecção com o vírus da imunodeficiência humana tipo 1 (HIV-1) é um fator agravante de saúde pública mundial, representando altas taxas de morbidade, com perda de qualidade de vida e mortalidade. Uma vasta gama de fatores de resposta inata exercem atividade antiviral, sendo a maior parte deles regulados pelo interferon tipo I. Desta forma, a proposta de estudo foi avaliara expressão de fatores antivirais e fatores reguladores da resposta de interferon tipo I em especial o sensor de DNA viral STING em células mononucleares do sangue periférico e em células do lavado bucal, de indivíduos expostos ao HIV-1 e não infectados, seu parceiro infectado por HIV-1, de indivíduos infectados por HIV-1 com carga viral (CV) detectável (acima de 5000 cópias/µL) e indivíduos saudáveis. Os resultados obtidos até o momento mostram que a exposição ao HIV-1 não é capaz de induzir a expressão de fatores antivirais regulados por IFN tipo I, mostrando que é preciso a infecção ativa para indução dos fatores. / The quality of life and morbidity are the most important hallmarker or the HIV-1 infection on the worldwide. Some important factors has been connected with this protection, likewise genetic, viral and immune host factors. Thus, this study reviewed the expression profile of antivirals factors and INF-I production regulators, in special the DNA sensor STING. The type I Interferon (IFN-I) is the major factor in HIV-1 inflammatory response. Therefore, we investigate the expression levels of activation and regulation IFN-I factors expressed in peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs) and cells of buccal wash of Exposed non-infected subjects, your infected partner, high viremia subjects (under 5.000 copies/mL) and health controls Our results indicated na important control mechanism to avoid inflammation who provide the permissiviness and infection with HIV-1.

This thesis pursues the topic of satisfaction in romantic relationships. The previous research was focused mainly on unhappy relationships, marital crises and divorce. This thesis follows the other direction. Its aim is to describe variables which make longterm romantic relationships satisfying. In the theoretical part is an overview of literature and researches that adressed this topic. In the empirical part of this thesis is qualitative research that tries to enlighten the specifics of happy couples in Czech Republic. The grounded theory was used to analyze interviews with 22 respondents. The results are 10 categories representing various areas that contributed to satisfaction in respondents' relationships: harmony, safety, good choice of spouse, stable financial situation, family, overcoming of differences and obstacles, doing things together, communication, endurance and trying not to solve everything.

The purpose of this study is to develop an interpretative understanding of how discursive therapists’ linguistic actions enhance the couple alliance. Additionally, this study includes an exploration of whether these models hold up to a common factors conversation in the practice of couples therapy. The couple alliance is the central relationship in couples therapy. Previous research suggests that therapists’ actions might have an effect on enhancing this alliance by creating a dyadic orientation. In postmodern/discursive models of practice, therapists’ actions have gone mostly unexplored, leaving therapists with little understanding of what is done in the process of couples therapy that enhances the couple alliance and creates a dyadic orientation. Results from a Conversation Analysis of couple’s cases in Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Collaborative Language Therapy suggest the linguistic actions of discursive therapists appear mostly congruent with the claims they make regarding couples therapy. These actions may produce an enhanced couple alliance based on the empirically supported characteristics of a strong couple alliance. Findings also support model-dependent common factors of discursive couples therapy. In all three approaches the couple alliance appears to be enhanced by: (a) developing a symmetrical structure of the dialogue, (b) developing a contextual understanding of the self and the partner, (c) expanding the changes to the larger system, and (d) using thematic summaries. These findings have implications for practice and training in discursive couples therapy. Recommendations for future research include utilizing deductive reasoning in outcome studies to explore the effectiveness of a discursive couples therapy common factors approach to enhance the couple alliance.
