Thesis "Employment risk groups of young people in the Czech Republic," focuses on young people leaving institutional care. In the Czech Republic, emerging from the economic crisis and unemployment is still high. For young people it is difficult to find jobs, because they lack the neccessary practical experience. The situation of young people leaving institutional care is even worse. These young people are applying for the job market disadvantage because they lack family support. The only support they are halfway houses to help them during the spin-offs and adaptations of the professional role. The experience of workers Halfway House Maják shows that what is important is the individual approach to clients. This approach should be employed during the election of a professional role that is also very important.

Cette thèse analyse la confrontation entre les réformes postales inspirées du nouveau management public, cristallisées dans la politique de rationalisation de l’activité de travail, et les pratiques professionnelles des salariés. Elle étudie les enjeux, les modalités et les limites de la définition normative du travail des conseillers financiers. Désignés par l’organisation comme des acteurs du changement, ces derniers doivent gérer la tension entre logique de marché et mission de service public, qui persiste à travers un double langage de La Poste. Sont ainsi mis en évidence des positionnements professionnels qui se construisent en décalage par rapport à la norme de référence du conseiller idéal portée par l’entreprise. Cette dernière mise donc sur ses jeunes recrues, supposées réceptives aux nouvelles logiques managériales. L’étude du processus de socialisation professionnelle de ces conseillers potentiels, inscrit dans les parcours individuels, permet d’interroger l’homogénéisation des pratiques et la persistance du modèle social postal. L’approche repose sur une comparaison territoriale (Méditerranée/Île-de-France) et générationnelle. La combinaison de plusieurs techniques d’investigation (observation participante au sein de la DRH de La Banque Postale, enquête longitudinale prospective par panel menée auprès d’apprentis conseillers financiers, monographie de bureaux de poste et exploitation de données statistiques) permet de croiser les parcours biographiques et les éléments structurels d’analyse des politiques d’emploi, de travail et de formation de La Poste. / This thesis analyses the confrontation between postal reforms inspired by the new public management, fulfilled in the rationalisation politics of the working activity, and employee professional practices. It studies the stakes, the modalities and the limits of the financial advisers normative work definition. Designated as change agents by the organisation, they must manage the dynamics between market logic and the public services mission which persists through a double language at La Poste. This puts into evidence the professional positioning that is constructed based on the referential norm of the ideal adviser portrayed by the organisation. The latest therefore counts on its young recruits, excepted to be receptive to the new managerial logics. The study of the socialisation process of its potential advisers, registered on individual career paths, allows questioning the homogenisation in the practices and persistence of the social postal model. The approach is based on a territorial comparison (Mediterranean/Parisian region) as well as generational. The combination of several investigation techniques (participative observation within the HR Direction at La Banque Postale, longitudinal panel survey conducted on financial adviser apprentices, monograph of post offices and exploitation of statistic data) allows crossing of biographical paths (personal and career) and the structural elements of employment politics analysis, work, and training at La Poste.

The purpose of the study was to explore and describe young people’s perceptions of access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in Swaziland. The study provided insights into the SRH services currently available to the young people of Swaziland and reveals the opportunities that can be used to improve accessibility and utilisation of the current reproductive health services. The findings will inform policy-making and appropriate future interventions for young people’s sexual and reproductive needs and services. Data were collected through a descriptive exploratory study design. Colaizzi’s seven steps of data analysis were used. The study provides ample evidence that young people face sexual health risks that justify their need to access and utilise SRH services. The findings revealed that access to service is an important but complex element of quality care, as it determines whether a client gets to the service provider. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Die Schulmedizin ist zwar das offizielle und anerkannte Gesundheitssystem in Tunesien, jedoch findet der Beobachter zahlreiche traditionelle und moderne alternative Heilmethoden, die miteinander koexistieren. Dazu gehört die spirituelle Heilung bzw. die tibb ruhani, die im letzten Jahrzehnt zunehmend eine zentrale Stellung im „health seeking behavior“ der Jugendlichen eingenommen hat. Viele der älteren Heilpraktiken standen in der Öffentlichkeit im Schatten der Schulmedizin und des offiziellen Islam. Dabei spielte der Bezug auf die religiösen Texte und die übernatürliche Welt und ihre Kräfte sowie auf die traditionelle Medizin eine wichtige Rolle. Meine zehnmonatige Feldforschung bzw. meine Interviews mit den Jugendlichen zeigen die Bedeutung der spirituellen Heilung für diese Altersgruppe, die Heilung von ihren Krankheiten und Lösung für ihre sozialen Konflikte und Probleme sucht. Auch die Medien richten heute mehr Interesse auf diesen Bereich, in dem sie eher kritische Artikel darüber veröffentlichen und die Werbung der Heiler publizieren. Diese Ambivalenz zeigt, dass der Umgang mit der spirituellen Heilung in der Öffentlichkeit einen interessanten Wandel erlebt. Die Bedeutung der traditionellen Medizin und der volksislamischen Heilpraktiken war zwar immer in der Gesellschaft verankert, blieb allerdings bis jetzt nur im Hintergrund. Eine Transformation und eine öffentliche Anerkennung erhalten sie erst durch die moderne spirituelle Heilung. Die mediale Präsenz der spirituellen Heilung zeigt, dass Krankheit und soziale Konflikte nicht mehr als lediglich die Privatsphäre betreffen. Dies impliziert eine staatliche Strategie als eine Art Sicherheitsventil für die sozio-wirtschaftlichen Probleme vor allem der Jugendlichen (Arbeitslosigkeit, Perspektivlosigkeit, Migrationswunsch) und ebenso gegenüber dem politischen Islam. Abschließend ist die spirituelle Heilung ein fester Bestandteil des medizinischen Pluralismus in Tunesien geworden und es bestehen Bestrebungen, mit der Schulmedizin zu kooperieren. / In addition to modern medicine, traditional medicine plays an important role in the medical system of Tunisia. There are different healing methods which characterize the medical landscape of the country and they coexist in an interesting way. This variety has a remarkable impact on the health seeking behavior of the Tunisians and especially of the younger generations (17-30), who have become increasingly interested in spiritual healing (tibb ruhani). This healing method deals with illnesses including modern methods of treatment and, additionally, it focuses on a number of issues and problems which concern this age group such as social conflicts, unemployment and migration. The image of spiritual healing has changed considerably over the past ten years. This transformation has led to a new understanding of illness and healing and to the development of new strategies regarding the health seeking behavior. Spiritual healing is based, on the one hand, on religious texts, the supernatural world and its agents and, on the other hand, on traditional healing methods and modern medicine. Up to recently, the traditional healing methods only played a marginal role in the medical system and they were hardly attractive to the young generations. My fieldwork, however, clearly shows that spiritual healing has deeply aroused the interest of this age group and, at the same time, it has met with public recognition. The mass media have also become interested in the phenomenon of spiritual healing and are publishing increasing numbers of articles about the spiritual healers and their methods and by giving them the opportunity to participate in a variety of TV-shows. This new attitude towards illness, healing and social problems underlines that these topics are no longer private concerns. The spiritual healing has incorporated the current social and economic transformations. The healers have become important contacts for this age group who consult them to find adequate solutions to a wide range of their concerns. The government profits from this new role of the spiritual healing and it uses it for various purposes such as to alleviate social tensions. The importance of the spiritual healing in Tunisia is also underlined by the serious attempt to develop an official cooperation between spiritual healing and modern medicine.

Bakgrund: Ungdomars sexuella och reproduktiva hälsa och rättigheter (SRHR) är ett viktigt folkhälsoarbete och barnmorskan har en central roll när det kommer till att nå ungdomarna med kunskap och information. Det förefaller finnas få studier om barnmorskors uppfattningar om vad ungdomar behöver veta mer om när det kommer till deras sexuella och reproduktiva hälsa och rättigheter. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva barnmorskors uppfattningar om vad ungdomar behöver veta mer om inom området sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa och rättigheter. Metod: Kvalitativ intervjustudie med åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med barnmorskor. Datamaterial analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Resultat: Barnmorskorna uppfattade att ungdomarna hade behov av att veta mer om kroppsutveckling. Även mer om sexuellt överförbara infektioner (STI) och preventivmedel samt att killarna behövde veta mer om deras reproduktiva ansvar. Ungdomarna behövde också veta mer om sexuella relationer och rättigheter, innefattande bland annat lagar och homosexualitet. Barnmorskorna ser idag en ökning av sexuella problem bland ungdomarna och barnmorskorna hade en gemensam uppfattning om att det beror på pornografikonsumtion. Slutsats: Barnmorskor har insikt i vad ungdomar behöver veta mer om inom SRHR. Det finns fortfarande brister i undervisning och utbildning till ungdomar inom SRHR och det är angeläget att fokusera och investera i arbeten för att stärka och främja ungdomars SRHR. Klinisk tillämpbarhet: Denna studie lyfter barnmorskors uppfattningar om vad ungdomar behöver veta mer om inom ämnet SRHR. Studien kan användas i klinisk verksamhet till förbättringsarbeten för olika yrkeskategorier som arbetar med ungdomar gällande SRHR. / Background: The sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people is an important public health work and the midwife has a central role in reaching the young people with knowledge and information. There seem to be few studies on midwives' perceptions about what young people need to know more about when it comes to their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the views of midwives about what young people need to know more about in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Method: Qualitative interview study with eight semi-structured interviews with midwives. The data material was analyzed with a qualitative content analysis with inductive approach. Result: The midwives perceived that the young people needed to know more about body development. In addition, more about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and contraceptives and that the young men needed to know more about their reproductive responsibilities. The youth also needed to know more about sexual relations and rights, including, among other things, laws and homosexuality. The midwives today see an increase in sexual problems among young people and the midwives had a common view that this is due to pornography consumption. Conclusion: Midwives have insight into what young people need to know more about in SRHR. There are still shortcomings in education for young people within SRHR, and it is important to focus and invest in work to strengthen and promote young people's SRHR. Clinical application: This study highlights the views of midwives on what young people need to know more about in the subject of SRHR. The study can be used in clinical activities for improvement work for various occupational categories that work with young people regarding SRHR.

O estudo visou a análise do discurso de jovens (na faixa etária entre 15 e 24 anos), moradores da periferia da cidade de São Paulo, estudantes de ensino médio de uma escola pública estadual, com o objetivo de captar a percepção que estes possuem sobre as oportunidades encontradas para adentrar no mercado de trabalho. A partir de um resgate histórico da realidade político-econômica do país nos últimos 80 anos, pudemos entender os motivos pelos quais encontramos, nas últimas décadas, altos índices de desemprego. Uma discussão sobre os jovens brasileiros, também nos trouxe um panorama geral desta população a que nos propusemos estudar aqui. Pudemos levantar índices de desemprego, de crescimento populacional e, principalmente, de escolaridade destes jovens, de forma a conhecermos melhor o ambiente em que vivem e a quais situações estão expostos, que possam facilitar ou não sua vida profissional. Utilizou-se a técnica dos grupos focais, no qual cada participante pode discutir abertamente suas opiniões e percepções acerca do mundo do trabalho, as dificuldades que encontram para ingressar nesse universo e como agem para driblar tais dificuldades. A técnica foi empregada por facilitar a interação entre os participantes, contribuindo, desta forma, para que diversos assuntos fossem levantados e debatidos. O conteúdo observado durante a realização dos grupos pôde ser melhor interpretado a partir da análise do discurso, buscando os reais sentidos que o trabalho e a entrada no mercado de trabalho apresenta para estes jovens. A opção da utilização de análise de discurso também se deu baseada na linha construcionista que crê no fenômeno como objeto real a partir do processo de construção lingüístico-conceitual. Mapas de associação de idéias foram montados de maneira a observarmos, de forma mais clara, quais as principais temáticas discutidas pelos jovens durante os grupos e qual a importância e relevância de cada um no discurso

No. of bitstreams: 1 Monica Gardelli Franco.pdf: 1990617 bytes, checksum: 40a63eb79a51fe3b2d68f200241b5e96 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-05-13 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research started from the finding of lack of public policies that would provide for the appropriation of information and communication technologies to promote the literacy of young people and adult populations as inalienable rights of human beings. Considering the importance of the role of UNESCO regarding the proposal of strategies, and in monitoring and evaluation of public policies for education performance, this research had the objective of extracting guidelines from its official documents for the drafting, the consolidation and improvement of public policies that would require the integration of communication technologies and information on proposals for literacy of young people and adults. The experience that led to the research practices and that have opened the problem of the thesis was the MOVA-digital, held in São Paulo s Municipal Department of Education, between 2001-2002. The analysis was performed based on two documents - ICT to develop Literacy and ICT in Education Toolkit for Policy Makers, Planners and Practitioners. The analysis of the documents took as a principle the ownership of technology as a human right and made reference to concepts disponível theoretical principles that argue for the appropriation of technologies and human development - concept represented by Álvaro Vieira Pinto, Manuel Castells and Nicolau Sevcenko; by the concept of literacy as a transformative and emancipatory practice - designed by Paulo Freire; and by development as a form of freedom - advocated by Amartya Sen and Jeffrey Sachs. The results indicate that the guidelines that subsidize the development of public policies presented by UNESCO consider aspects related to ensuring access and distribution, the regulation of rights, promotion of conditions of technology ownership, the replicability and sustainability of programs, as well as evaluation and monitoring, provisioning of resources for implementation, team building and professionals showing alternatives on possible solutions to this challenge to humanity. They have, however, revealed some important gaps in relation to actions for the proactive use of technology in favor of a movement of change and awareness for intervention in economic, political and human realities. It was concluded that public policies that require the integration of technology in promoting literacy and facing conditions of illiteracy should be central in the propositions of a high-level of education plan for a nation where the guarantee of freedom, autonomy and the exercise full citizenship for all could achieve its social, cultural, economic and human wants / A presente pesquisa partiu da constatação da inexistência de políticas públicas que prevejam a apropriação das tecnologias da informação e comunicação para a promoção da alfabetização da população jovem e adulta como direito inalienável do ser humano. Considerando a relevância do papel da UNESCO no que se refere à proposição de estratégias, no monitoramento e avaliação do desempenho de políticas públicas para educação, essa investigação teve por objetivo extrair de seus documentos oficiais diretrizes à elaboração, à consolidação e aperfeiçoamento de políticas públicas que pressuponham a integração das tecnologias da comunicação e informação em propostas de alfabetização da população jovem e adulta. A experiência que deu origem às práticas da pesquisa e que abriram a problemática da tese foi o MOVA-digital, realizado na Secretaria Municipal de Educação a cidade de São Paulo, entre 2001-2002. A análise foi realizada sobre dois documentos ICT to develop Literacy e ICT in Education Toolkit for Policy Makers, Planners and Practitioners. A análise dos documentos tomou como princípio a apropriação das tecnologias como um direito humano e teve como referência conceitos elaborados a partir de fundamentos teóricos que argumentam pela apropriação das tecnologias como desenvolvimento humano conceito representado por Álvaro Vieira Pinto, Manuel Castells e Nicolau Sevcenko; pela concepção de alfabetização como prática transformadora e emancipadora concebida Paulo Freire; e pelo desenvolvimento como liberdade defendido por Amartya Sen e Jeffrey Sachs. Os resultados indicam que as diretrizes que subsidiam a elaboração das políticas públicas apresentados pela UNESCO consideram aspectos relevantes relacionados à garantia de distribuição e acesso, à regulamentação dos direitos, de promoção de condições de apropriação das tecnologias, à replicabilidade e sustentabilidade de programas assim como avaliação e monitoramento, previsão de recursos para implementação, formação de equipe e profissionais jogando luz sobre possíveis soluções para esse grande desafio para a humanidade. Apresentam, no entanto algumas lacunas importantes com relação a ações proativas para o uso das tecnologias em favor de um movimento de mudança e de conscientização para intervenção na realidade econômica, política e humana. Concluiu-se que uma política pública que pressuponha a integração das tecnologias na promoção da alfabetização e no enfrentamento das condições de analfabetismo merece estar no bojo das proposições do plano máximo de educação de uma nação no qual a garantia da liberdade, da autonomia e do exercício pleno da cidadania de todos possa realizar o desenvolvimento social, cultural, econômico e humano desejado
