Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo buscar nas histórias de vida dos pantaneiros a imagem discursivamente construída do homem pantaneiro. É através do uso da língua, aliado a outros aspectos do contexto social em que vive e atua, que o homem constitui-se como sujeito que estabelece vínculos sociais com outros sujeitos e com outras culturas, construindo dessa forma, a sua história. O pantaneiro, vivendo do trabalho no Pantanal sul-mato-grossense, região com características geográficas e sócio-históricas singulares, constitui-se, histórica e socialmente, por meio da riqueza lingüística que se concretiza na convivência com outros falantes do português e com os do espanhol e do guarani, línguas presentes na interação discursiva do dia-a-dia, resultantes do convívio, em regime de fronteira aberta, com o Paraguai e a Bolívia. Dessa perspectiva, a questão que se coloca é: em que medida se constrói a imagem do pantaneiro através de seu próprio discurso? Ou, mais especificamente, em que medida é possível evidenciar as imagens do pantaneiro construídas pelo discurso oral do próprio pantaneiro? Diante dessas indagações, o desafio é estudar o discurso do homem pantaneiro, tendo como fundamento teórico a Análise do Discurso, dita de linha francesa, em particular a interdiscursividade que remete a noções como heterogeneidade discursiva, sujeito e as condições de produção do discurso. Esses aspectos teóricos são pensados a partir de três eixos que dizem respeito ao sujeito e suas ações: eixo das ações que se realizam com a linguagem, eixo das ações que se realizam sobre a linguagem e eixo das ações da linguagem. O capítulo 1 deste trabalho apresenta uma contextualização do Pantanal em seus aspectos geográfico, histórico e social. O capítulo 2 traz um breve histórico da AD e do sujeito nesse percurso. O capítulo 3 trata da AD em sua fase contemporânea, pontuando a questão do discurso, do interdiscurso, do sujeito e as condições de produção do discurso. O capítulo 4 apresenta uma breve retomada do percurso da oralidade, dos gêneros do discurso e dos gêneros histórias de vida e depoimento que compõem o título desta tese. O capítulo 5 apresenta a análise das quatro histórias de vida dos pantaneiros selecionadas para este trabalho / This research´s aim is to look for in the pantaneiros (People who live in the Pantanal region) life history, the image that was discursively built of the panateiro man. It is through the use of language plus other aspects from the social context where they live and work that the man forms a subject that keeps social contacts with other subjects and other cultures, building this way , the history. The pantaneiro, living from the work in the south-mato-grossense Pantanal, which region has its own geographic and social historic features, composes, historic and socially, through the linguistic wealth that becomes true while living with other Portuguese speakers and with the Spanish and Guarani ones, languages presented in the discursive interaction day by day, which are resulted from the feast in open boundaries with Paraguay and Bolivia. From this perspective, the question that is presented is: in which level the pantaneiro image is built through its own speech? Or more specific, in which level it is possible to evidence the pantaneiro images built by its own oral speech? Considering these issues the challenge is to study the pantaneiro man speech, by the speech analyses, interdiscursive which remits to notions as discourse heterogeneity, subject and the production conditions discourse, these theoretic aspects are considered from three axles that are related to the subject and its actions: actions axles that are realized with the language, actions axles that are realized about and actions axles of language. Chapter 1 of this research shows a Pantanal contextualization in its geographic, historical and social aspects. Chapter 2 brings a brief historic of DA and the subject in its course. Chapter 3 talks about the DA in its comtemporary phase, showing the discourse issue of the interdiscourse, the subject and is production conditions discourse. Chapter 4 shows a brief retaking of the oral part, of the discourse genres and life histories genres and deposition that composes this research´s tittle. Chapter 5 shows the analyses of four life histories from the pantaneiros selected for this work.

The research called Opening the book of its lives: formation trajectories of four black teachers were developed and presented to the Program of Post-Graduation in Education, Master of the Center of Education of the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), in the line Formation, to know and Professional Development, having as objective to investigate the personal and professional trajectory of four pertaining black teachers of different generations, as well as its imaginary and possible significances of being a black teacher at distinct moments of the History of Brazil. To this, had been invited four teachers who had studied at different moments and that also had marked my personal and professional history, even so two of them have almost the same age possess a trajectory of very different life. This thematic one was being constructed from my performance as professor of the basic education, my studies on blackness, sort and education, of my participation in a group of research and, over all, from my proper history of life. I found in the autobiographical narrative a promising way to develop this work, since what one searched was an approach of its imaginary ones and its possible fights against the instituted whiteness. The register was carried through by the writing of the half-structuralized interviews and its posterior transcription. Used as benchmarks Bosi (2004), Perrot (1997), Gomes (2009) and Castoriadis (1982). I perceived, in its narratives, many approaches: the fight with the socioeconomic question, the choice for the Teaching, the strong presence of the figure maternal in its lives. Also some divergences had been found, in function even though of the secular line that separates them. Reconstruct the history of black women means looking at the history of gender/ethnicity of those who always stayed on the sidelines of historical processes. I point out that the work, beyond having produced a formation in the collaborators, as told for them, also me auto formation resulted in formation. For all of us its research produced another look on the Teaching, on the questions of blackness, sort and the teachers who we were at the beginning are not the same ones that were formed themselves/self formed. Important to note that their individual stories are also part of the collective history, each respondent brought brands that are part of their individual careers and, concomitantly are similar to the larger issues. The struggle for survival, the question of religion, the imagery of daily life were some categories that appeared on all the voices and the other showing that the singular mark of the generation they belong to, the year they were born, the era in which they lived also Social enrolling in the individual, the memory of the railroad to the oldest contributor, and the issue of racial quotas for the youngest contributor. / A pesquisa denominada Abrindo o livro das suas vidas: trajetórias de formação de quatro professoras negras foi desenvolvida e apresentada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Mestrado do Centro de Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), na linha Formação, Saberes e Desenvolvimento Profissional, tendo como objetivo investigar a trajetória pessoal e profissional de quatro professoras negras pertencentes a diferentes gerações, bem como os seus imaginários e as possíveis significações de ser uma professora negra em momentos distintos da História do Brasil. Para tanto, foram convidadas quatro professoras que estudaram em diferentes momentos e que também marcaram minha história pessoal e profissional, embora duas delas tenham quase a mesma idade possuem uma trajetória de vida muito diferente. Esta temática foi sendo construída a partir de minha atuação como docente da educação básica, de meus estudos sobre negritude, gênero e educação, de minha participação em um grupo de pesquisa e, sobretudo, a partir de minha própria história de vida. Encontrei na narrativa autobiográfica um caminho promissor para desenvolver este trabalho, visto que aquilo que se buscava era uma aproximação de seus imaginários e suas possíveis lutas contra a branquitude instituída. O registro foi realizado por meio de gravação das entrevistas semi-estruturadas e sua posterior transcrição. Utilizei como referenciais Bosi (2004), Perrot (1997), Gomes (2009) e Castoriadis (1982). Percebi, em suas narrativas, muitas aproximações: a luta com a questão socioeconômica, a escolha pelo Magistério, a forte presença da figura materna em suas vidas. Também algumas divergências foram encontradas, em função até mesmo da linha temporal que as separa. Reconstituir a história de mulheres negras significa olhar para a história de gênero/etnia de quem sempre ficou à margem dos processos históricos. Saliento que o trabalho, além de ter produzido uma formação nas colaboradoras, conforme narrado por elas, também a mim resultou em formação/autoformação. Para todas nós a pesquisa produziu outro olhar sobre o Magistério, sobre as questões de negritude, de gênero e as professoras que éramos no início já não são as mesmas que se formaram/autoformaram. Importante ressaltar que suas histórias individuais também fazem parte da História coletiva, cada colaboradora trouxe marcas que fazem parte de suas trajetórias individuais e que, concomitantemente vêm ao encontro de questões mais abrangentes. A luta pela sobrevivência, a questão da religiosidade, o imaginário cotidiano foram algumas das categorias que apareceram em todas as vozes e outras as singularizaram mostrando que a marca da geração a que pertencem, ao ano em que nasceram, a época em que viveram também o Social inscrevendo no individual; a memória da ferrovia para a colaboradora mais antiga, bem como a questão das cotas raciais para a colaboradora mais jovem.

Magister Artium - MA / The rich corpus of postcolonial scholarly engagement on indigenous intermediaries, interpreters, clerks and assistants has a made a strong argument for the active participation of African agents in social scientific knowledge production on Africa. This literature has highlighted the complex and negotiated nature of fieldwork in African anthropology. While this literature has begun to deepen our understanding of the knowledge work of anthropologists and their research assistants, it has not adequately explored the relationship between anthropologists and informants in what one scholar has recently called ‘a triangulation of relationships’ between the anthropologist, the assistant and the informant. This research project proposes to explore these relationships in a detailed case study: that of the British anthropologist Godfrey Wilson (1908–1944), his interpreter Zachariah Mawere, and three primary informants, during three years of pioneering research into the effects of migrant labour at Broken Hill, Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) between 1938 and 1941. Using a close textual reading and detailed analysis of Wilsons Bemba and English fieldnotes held in the Godfrey and Monica Wilson collection at the University of Cape Town’s African Studies Library, the study will apply a micro-historical and biographical approach. It will seek to reconstruct the biographies and anthropological contributions of one interpreter and three central Bemba informants in order to explore the micro-politics of knowledge production in African anthropology.

<p>  </p> <p>Predators and parasites are critical, interconnected members of the community and have the potential to influence host populations. Predators, in particular, can have direct and indirect impacts on disease dynamics. By removing hosts and their parasites, predators alter both host and parasite populations and ultimately shape disease transmission. Our ability to accurately predict disease dynamics requires understanding the ecological effects of predation on prey and host densities and its role in the coevolution of host resistance and parasite virulence. While the impact of predators on disease dynamics has received considerable attention, research has focused on selective predation on infected prey. There is, however, substantial evidence that some predators avoid infected prey, preferentially attacking uninfected individuals. Such different strategies of prey selectivity by predators modulate host-parasite interactions, changing the fitness payoffs both for hosts and their parasites. I use empirical results and theoretical predictions as a framework to discuss the mechanisms by which predation for infected versus uninfected individuals can affect disease dynamics. First, by integrating hypotheses from behavioral ecology and disease ecology, I outlined novel perspectives that complement the prevailing view of selective predation of infected individuals (Chapter 1). Then, exploring short-term ecological outcomes and long-term host-parasite coevolution, I investigated patterns of <em>Daphnia dentifera</em> host population densities and host susceptibility over several generations under different types of predation pressure, including selective predation on infected and uninfected individuals (Chapter 2). Finally, building on the results of this research, I developed a high school project-based lesson plan that facilitates the instruction of the nature of science, implementing on-going ecological research in activities to improve student learning based on a constructivist approach to learning (Chapter 3). Together this research highlights the differential ecological and evolutionary outcomes of host-parasite interactions under varying community contexts.</p>

No. of bitstreams: 1 5553.pdf: 7138934 bytes, checksum: 2a910cbab469961a95e164e39e07ad40 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-08-09 / Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos / The present study aimed to know the socioeconomic, environmental profile and life history of the rural settlers of the Estrela da Ilha settlement, in the municipality of Ilha Solteira, located in the State of São Paulo. The settlement has 209 land lots and the research was performed with 35 families. For data collection was used a questionnaire containing 50 questions about the socioeconomic and environmental profile of the settled families and, also, the collection of oral statements about the settlers' life history. The data analysis was made in a qualitative and quantitative way: the open questions were analyzed using the discursive textual analysis and the closed questions through simple statistics. The results pointed that the settlement profile in relation to age 37% are between 40-50 years, being 60% from male gender, the source of income of 54% of the families comes from their own property, the family income of 51% of the settlers is two minimum wages monthly, 68% has only uncompleted primary education, the home conditions indicated that 94% of the settlers have masonry dwellings and 89% of them are unfinished, 71% of the settlers claim to consume industrialized food frequently, the settlement production is characterized by dairy farming in most lots, followed by horticulture, the commercialization is done through cooperatives and associations, as well as sales in the city fairs. Was also researched, the environmental questions like the forest reserve area, water supply in 94% of the lots comes from wells, sanitary sewage 71% of the lots have septic tank, 74% of them use pesticide, was also researched about the solid waste management. The life histories highlighted the difficulties faced by the settlers to conquer the land, since the camp to the establishment on the lot. Denoted on the statements dreams, joys, settlers faith, it also disclosed the difficulties and problems of the Estrela da Ilha settlement. We conclude that in the community studied the biggest problems are related to socioeconomic issues, like income and education, and the worst environmental problems are the indiscriminate use of pesticides, the improper disposal of solid waste and the sanitary sewage. Therefore, these weaknesses need to be worked through public policies of access to education in rural areas, infrastructure, production and commercialization strategies and technical assistance for achieving sustainable rural development, emphasizing the quality of harmoniously living with the environment and social justice. / O presente estudo teve por objetivo conhecer o perfil socioeconômico, ambiental e as histórias de vida dos assentados/as rurais do Assentamento Estrela da Ilha no município de Ilha Solteira, Estado de São Paulo. O assentamento possui 209 lotes e a pesquisa foi realizada com 35 famílias. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado um questionário contendo 50 questões versando sobre o perfil socioeconômico e ambiental das famílias assentadas e, também, a coleta de depoimentos orais sobre a história de vida dos assentados/as. Os dados foram analisados quantitativamente e qualitativamente, as questões abertas foram analisadas utilizando a técnica de analise textual discursiva e as questões fechadas através de estatística simples. Os resultados apontaram o perfil do assentamento em relação à idade 37% estão entre 40-50 anos, sendo 60% do sexo masculino, a fonte de renda de 54% das famílias advém da própria propriedade, a renda familiar de 51% dos assentados/as é de dois salários mínimos mensais, 68% possuem apenas Ensino Fundamental Incompleto, as condições de moradia indicaram que 94% dos assentados/as possuem moradias de alvenaria e 89% delas são inacabadas, 71% dos assentados/as afirma consumir alimentos industrializados com frequência, a produção do assentamento é marcada pela pecuária leiteira na maioria dos lotes, seguida pela horticultura, a comercialização é feita via cooperativas, e associações, além de vendas nas feiras do município. Pesquisou-se também, as questões ambientais como área de reserva florestal, o abastecimento de água de 94% dos lotes vem de poços, sobre o esgotamento sanitário 71% dos lotes possui fossa séptica, 74 % utilizam agrotóxicos, pesquisou-se também sobre o gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos. As histórias de vida evidenciaram a luta pela terra enfrentada pelos assentados/as desde o acampamento até o estabelecimento no lote. Denotaram-se nos depoimentos os sonhos, as alegrias, a fé dos assentados/as, revelou-se também as dificuldades, e problemas do assentamento Estrela da Ilha. Conclui-se que, na comunidade estudada os maiores problemas enfrentados estão relacionados às questões socioeconômicas, como renda e educação, e os problemas ambientais graves são o uso indiscriminado de agrotóxicos, a disposição inadequada de resíduos sólidos e o esgotamento sanitário. Assim sendo, essas fragilidades necessitam ser trabalhadas através de políticas públicas de acesso a educação em áreas rurais, infraestrutura, estratégias de produção e comercialização e assistência técnica para que se alcance o desenvolvimento rural sustentável, enfatizando a qualidade de vida de maneira harmoniosa com o meio ambiente e a justiça social.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel Superior / Nos paÃses multiÃtnicos, de pÃs-conflito, que viveram processos de libertaÃÃo da dominaÃÃo estrangeira, as identidades culturais, invariavelmente, tÃm mergulhado num processo em que todos os grupos Ãtnicos dentro do prÃprio paÃs lutam para reafirmar a sua posiÃÃo no processo de formaÃÃo do Estado NaÃÃo. A afirmaÃÃo das identidades de grupos Ãtnicos, nos paÃses de pÃs-conflito, adquirem proporÃÃes cada vez maiores em Ãmbitos contemporÃneos e apresentam nuances semelhantes nas mÃltiplas representaÃÃes como sujeitos de pÃs-conflito. Esta dissertaÃÃo tem como centro dinamizador perceber como participantes de diferentes grupos Ãtnicos constroem representaÃÃes sobre a formaÃÃo do Estado-naÃÃo, no Timor-Leste, apÃs a independÃncia ocorrida em 20 de maio de 2002. Como recorte empÃrico, os sujeitos que foram envolvidos nesta pesquisa sÃo estudantes timorenses que residem atualmente no Brasil com o intuito de aqui realizarem a sua formaÃÃo de pÃs-graduaÃÃo em universidades brasileiras; mais especificamente, estudantes de duas Universidades Federais no Brasil: Universidade Federal do Cearà (UFC) e a Universidade Federal de GoiÃnia (UFG). O objetivo central à traÃar um paralelo entre as representaÃÃes sobre as identidades Ãtnicas e sobre a construÃÃo de identidades timorenses no processo de construÃÃo do Estado-naÃÃo, realizadas por sujeitos pertencentes a diferentes grupos Ãtnicos que existem no paÃs; grupos esses que participam ativamente em acontecimentos conflituosos no perÃodo pÃs-independÃncia. A metodologia utilizada foi a de narrativas de vida que compÃem o material empÃrico analisado na dissertaÃÃo / The cultural identities in post-conflict countries where a constant layer of a process among all ethnic groups within the country to reaffirm its position in the formation of the nation. The identities of an ethnic group in the post-conflict always buy some proportions increasing through nuances in contemporary fields such as subject in the multiple representations of post-conflict. This dissertation is to address these propellers proactive in ethnic groups that represent the identities of ethnic groups in East Timor after independence in twenty of May two thousand and two. To cut this research, the subjects who were involved in this interview are the entities Timorese living in Brazil for the training process of the study in two Federal Universities in Brazil: Universidade Federal do Cearà (UFC) and Universidade Federal de GoiÃnia (UFG). In this sense, the goal is to draw a parallel between the Timorese authorities, of different ethnic groups that exist in the country that make the events of ethnic conflict in the country involving several entities of the ethnic groups after independence

Recent literature shows an increased interest in generational differences among the workforce, particularly in Western societies. This has coincided with a focus on the role of women as successful leaders in the workplace. Despite this, the exploration and understanding of generational differences amongst female leaders in organisations has received limited attention, particularly in the South African context. The main purpose of the study was therefore to explore whether generational differences among women have an influence on how they approach leadership roles in a South African context. The study also sought to examine whether there are differences in gender identity across the generations as a result of socialisation. The study adopted a qualitative, life histories methodological approach to address the research purposes. Semi structured interviews were conducted with nine South African women in leadership positions from both the Baby Boomer and Generation X generational cohorts. The two generational cohorts were selected as they make up the majority of the current workforce while also being more likely, due to their age, of occupying leadership positions. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, and were imported into Atlas.ti for data analysis. The findings indicated that mothers played a dominant role in the socialisation of women, while fathers were significantly less present in the women’s stories. In terms of the effect of socialisation on career and leadership expectations, Baby Boomers were taught that they should be ‘stay-at-home-mothers’ and after having raised their children could then begin their careers. Generation X believed that they could be career women just as easily as ‘stay-at-home-mothers’. Despite both generations favouring a transformational approach to leadership, each generation differed in the way it practiced leadership. Baby Boomers led in a shared, structured and empowering manner, whereas Generation Xs focused on being attentive, unlocking potential, identifying talents of followers, and assisting in the growth and development of followers within their leadership approach. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / Human Resource Management / unrestricted

Esta pesquisa propõe-se a investigar as rotas alternativas de formação superior desenvolvidas por professoras de educação infantil e dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental OFAs, Comissionadas Não- Estáveis e Auxiliares de Desenvolvimento Infantil que não puderam cursar os Programas Especiais financiados pelas Secretarias de Educação. Para atingir esse objetivo, foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema da formação de professores no período pós Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDBEN 1996), acerca dos principais discursos veiculados nesse campo. Os procedimentos metodológicos incluíram um mapeamento em dados estatísticos e publicações oficiais, entrevistas com seis professoras e três representantes de diretoria de sindicatos. Os dados foram analisados, principalmente, a partir dos conceitos de campo e habitus de Bourdieu (1983, 2004), das concepções de consumo e tática de Certeau (2007) e dos estudos sobre a profissionalização docente de Nóvoa (1991, 1997, 1999a, 1999b). A análise das entrevistas também se beneficiou de trabalhos que abordam as discussões de gênero, principalmente, os de Carvalho (1999) e Hirata (1986), e dos conceitos de grupos estabelecidos e outsiders propostos por Elias e Scotson (2000). Partiu-se do pressuposto de que essas professoras procuraram formação superior, não apenas para conseguirem obter certificação ou adequarem-se à legislação educacional, mas para legitimarem seus saberes e fazeres docentes e obterem reconhecimento profissional. Também da hipótese que os Programas Especiais podem ter aquecido o mercado e o consumo de formação docente em nível superior, na maior cidade do país, no contexto pós LDBEN (1996). Ao final da pesquisa constatamos que as professoras desenvolveram táticas de consumo ao escolherem cursos e instituições de ensino superior. Depois de matriculadas, desenvolveram táticas de sobrevivência nesse nível de ensino diferenciado. Na perspectiva de nossas informantes, essas táticas aumentaram as possibilidades de obterem estabilidade profissional, funcional e econômica, além de produzirem um status profissional docente legitimado. A abordagem biográfica revelou a complexidade de ser professora e de se obter formação em nível superior na cidade de São Paulo. / The present research proposes to investigate the alternative routes of higher education taken by teachers of early childhood education classes and first two years of fundamental education classes OFAs, non-tenured commissioned teachers, and Early Childhood Development Assistants who could not attend the Special Programs sponsored by the Secretariats for Education. To such end, a bibliographical survey was carried out on the theme of teacher education in the period following the establishment of the National Education Guidelines and Bases Act (LDBEN 1996), focusing on the main discourses disseminated throughout the field. The methodological procedures adopted included a review of statistical data and official publications, and interviews with six teachers and three representatives of union boards of directors. The analysis of the data was mainly inspired by Bourdieu\'s concepts of field and habitus, Bourdieu (1983, 2004), by Certeau\'s ideas of consumption and tactics, Certeau (2007), and by the studies on teacher professionalism by Nóvoa (1991, 1997, 1999a, 1999b). The analysis of the interviews also drew upon works that discuss gender issues, especially those by Carvalho (1999) and Hirata (1986), as well as the concepts of established groups and outsiders, Elias and Scotson (2000). The point of departure here was the assumption that teachers looked for higher education training not only in order to obtain certification or to comply with legislation, but to legitimize their knowledges and practices as teachers, and to gain professional recognition. A further hypothesis here was that the Special Programs possibly heated up the market and the consumption of teacher higher education in the largest city of the country in the wake of the LDBEN (1996). By the end of the study we observed that teachers had developed consumption tactics when choosing courses and institutions of higher education. After enrolling, they applied survival tactics to this particular level of teaching. In the perspective of the interviewees, the consumption and survival tactics developed increased their chances of achieving professional, functional, and economic stability, apart from producing a legitimized teacher professional status. The biographical approach revealed the complexity of being a teacher, and of obtaining higher education training in the city of São Paulo.

Die ökologische Rolle der meisten Wildtier-Pathogene in Bezug zur langfristigen Populationsdynamik ihrer Wirte ist nur ansatzweise erforscht und wird deshalb nur unzureichend verstanden. Stattdessen ist die Erforschung von Infektionen mit Pathogenen oft beschränkt auf einzelne Fallstudien oder auf Perioden mit deutlich erhöhten Mortalitätsraten innerhalb der Wirtspopulation. Pathogene mit geringer Virulenz können jedoch durch synergistisches Auftreten verheerende Auswirkungen auf die Fitness ihrer Wirte haben oder sich auf wichtige individuelle lebensgeschichtliche Merkmale, wie zum Beispiel Lebensdauer oder Reproduktionserfolg, auswirken. Des Weiteren sind die Auswirkungen von Krankheitserregern auf die Populationsdynamik der Wildtiere schwer abzuschätzen, zum Beispiel wenn sie die Überlebenschancen von selten zu beobachtenden Jungtieren beeinträchtigen. Bis heute sind Untersuchungen von Infektionen mit Pathogenen und deren Auswirkungen auf Lebensgeschichten meist auf Laborstudien beschränkt, in denen Tiere unter streng definierten Bedingungen gezüchtet und gehalten werden, bzw. auf Studien an kleinen, kurzlebigen Arten wie Nagern, Vögeln und Insekten oder auf Studien an der Humanpopulation. Ziel dieser Arbeit war, die Auswirkungen von Einzel- oder Koinfektionen auf individuelle lebensgeschichtliche Schlüsselparameter sowie die Einflüsse bestimmter lebensgeschichtlicher Merkmale auf den Infektionsstatus anhand einer frei lebenden sozialen Karnivorenart, der Tüpfelhyäne Crocuta crocuta, zu untersuchen. Diese Arbeit war in eine Langzeitstudie integriert und wurde an mehreren Gruppen von Tüpfelhyänen zweier Subpopulationen durchgeführt, die im Serengeti Nationalpark sowie in dem angrenzenden Ngorongoro Krater in Tansania in Ostafrika lebten. Daten über wichtige lebensgeschichtliche Merkmale von mehreren hundert individuell bekannten Tieren in Kombination mit Daten über die wechselhafte Beuteverfügbarkeit in den Territorien der Gruppen standen hierfür zur Verfügung. Ich etablierte molekularbiologische Methoden (Polymerase Kettenreaktionen (PCRs) und Reverse Transkriptions PCRs), um eine Vielzahl an Kot-, Blut- und Gewebeproben individueller Tüpfelhyänen und sympatrisch lebender Karnivoren auf das Vorkommen von Coronaviren, Caliciviren, Hundestaupe-Viren, Parvoviren sowie eines von Zecken übertragenen Blutparasiten, Hepatozoon sp., zu untersuchen. 1 / The ecological role of most wildlife pathogens is poorly understood because pathogens are rarely studied in relation to the long-term population dynamics of wildlife hosts. Instead, pathogen infections are reported on a case basis or studies are focused on periods when pathogens cause noticeable mortality in their hosts. However, pathogens that appear to be of low virulence may also have an important effect if they operate in a synergistic fashion or affect life history parameters such as longevity or reproductive success. Furthermore, the effect of pathogens on population dynamics may be difficult to detect in wildlife, for example if they reduce the survival of young age classes that are rarely observed. Until now, research on the life history consequences of pathogen infection has mainly been confined to laboratory studies where animals are raised and kept under strictly defined conditions, or to small, short lived species such as rodents, birds or insects, as well as to human populations. The aim of this thesis was to address these problems by assessing the impact of single infections and co-infections by pathogens on key life history parameters and the influence of life history traits on infection status in a free-ranging social carnivore species, the spotted hyena Crocuta crocuta. The study was embedded in a long-term study on several clans of spotted hyenas from two subpopulations inhabiting the Serengeti National Park and the adjacent Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, East Africa. Data on key life history parameters were available for several hundred individually known animals as was information on changing levels of prey availability. I established molecular biological methods (polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) and reverse transcription PCRs) to screen an extensive set of faecal, blood and tissue samples from individually known spotted hyenas and sympatric carnivores for the presence of coronavirus, calicivirus, canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus and the tick-borne blood parasite Hepatozoon sp. to determine the prevalence of the pathogens. 1

Currently, migratory processes have been more frequent, significant and large due to economic, political and social contexts as well as to the improvements in transportation. Because of its great social significance, this subject has become an object of study of various fields such as Anthropology, Economics, Sociology, Demography, Law, Religion Sciences, Pedagogy and Psychology. Immigration has increased in the last decades in Brazil which is mainly composed of Latin American immigrants. This study falls in the Psychology field, specifically in Critical Social Psychology as it intended to develop the understanding of the experiences lived by different Latin American immigrants in Campinas Metropolitan Region. Therefore, a qualitative research was performed using the life history approach since it allows the longitudinal study and exploration of the life experiences of the volunteers through the investigation process itself. The volunteers were composed of three fully adult Latin Americans who live in Campinas Metropolitan Region. The data obtained through the interviews was subjected to a hermeneutical-dialectial analysis, revealing that the reasons for immigration and permanency in the host country are commom, however complex. The experiences lived by the volunteers are influenced by different aspects namely gender, schooling level, social class and ethnic. However, some aspects were found to be similar in terms of what they expect from the everyday life, such as having a better quality of life in Brazil than in the birth country, adaptation to the new cultural and social context, discrimination experiences due to nationality, the rescue and preservation of the culture of origin through language or cuisine. / Os processos migrat?rios fazem parte da hist?ria da humanidade e as migra??es podem ser motivadas por quest?es econ?micas, pol?ticas, sociais, por crises ambientais, guerras, persegui??es religiosas, entre outras.
