The aim of this diploma thesis is to present legal instruments used by the state to protect citizens from indoor radon and its decay products, to assess their effectiveness and to indicate possible pitfalls in their application. The paper first describes the radon issue from the perspective of natural sciences, introduces the unique Czech approach - the Radon Program, and describes handling of the issue by the state administration. The main emphasis is put on the development of related legislation, especially in the field of atomic and building law, where the state's approach to guidance levels is critically evaluated and where some recommendations for building management are mentioned. The legislation is also closely associated with the provision of state subsidies for anti-radon measures. Current developments are evaluated and options potentially leading to an improved effectiveness of this instrument are outlined. From a practical point of view, the paper is complemented by a case report based on private law and the related protection by civil law instrument.

Cette étude porte sur les corrélats phonétiques des registres tonals yin vs. yang du shanghaïen parlé dans la région urbaine de Shanghai. Nos investigations acoustique, articulatoire et perceptive ont montré qu’en dehors du F0, des indices multi-dimensionnels comme le voisement (voisé pour yang et non-voisé pour yin), le pattern de durée (ratio C/V bas pour yang et élevé pour yin), et le type de phonation (soufflé pour yang et modal pour yin) participent tous à la définition du registre tonal. Parmi tous ces indices, nous tâchons de distinguer les traits redondants liés aux effets coarticulatoires de ceux qui sont des survivants de changements diachroniques. En particulier, la voix soufflée qui accompagne les tons yang est un trait anciennement distinctif et aujourd’hui redondant, issu d’une évolution tonale qui est la transphonologization de distinction de voisement vers la distinction de registre tonal, ou « bipartition tonale ». Nous proposons que la perte d’un trait redondant issu d’un changement diachronique peut être très lente si ce trait ne contrarie pas les effets coarticulatoires et/ou si le trait a une fonction perceptive.En nous basant sur les données synchroniques des locuteurs de deux générations (20-30 ans vs. 60-80 ans), nous constatons une tendance vers la disparition de cette phonation soufflée. Nous constatons également une évolution plus avancée chez les femmes que les hommes de leur âge. Dans notre étude, nous essayons d’expliquer ce changement tant par des causes internes que par des causes externes. / This study bears on the phonetic correlates of the yin vs. yang tone registers of Shanghai Chinese as spoken in Shanghai urban area. Our acoustic, articulatory, and perceptual investigations showed that beside F0, multidimensional cues, such as voicing (voiced for yang vs. voiceless for yin), duration pattern (low C/V ratio for yang vs. high C/V ratio for yin), and phonation type (breathy for yang vs. modal for yin) enter in the specification of tone register. Among all these cues, we attempt to distinguish the redundant features related to coarticulatory effects from those that are remnants of diachronic changes. In particular, the breathy voice accompanying yang tones, which was a distinctive feature in a previous state of the language and has now become a redundant feature, arose from a tonal evolution, namely the transphonologization of a voicing contrast into a tone register contrast, that is, the “tone split.” We propose that the loss of a redundant arisen from a diachronic change may be very slow if that feature does not oppose to coarticulatory effects and/or if that feature has a perceptual function.Based on the synchronic data from the speakers of two generations (20-30 years vs. 60-80 years), we find a trend toward the loss of this breathy phonation. We also find that this evolution is more advanced in women than men of the same age. In our study, we try to explain this change by internal factors as well as by external factors.

O modelo narcísico freudiano da Primeira Tópica dialogará com a perspectiva relacional winnicottiana sobre a constituição do sujeito. Inicialmente serão feitas algumas considerações sobre a constituição psíquica no tempo pré-narcísico e sobre a teoria freudiana da sexualidade. Em seguida, a relação primária será estudada através da perspectiva winnicottiana do amadurecimento humano primitivo infantil, abrangendo os conceitos da transicionalidade, da ilusão e dos objetos transicionais. Conclui-se com a constatação de que há em Winnicott uma teoria do amadurecimento pessoal que engloba e ultrapassa a teoria do desenvolvimento da sexualidade de Freud

On these cases, we verified the adoptee s difficulty to filiate with the adoptive mothers, wich caused great suffering, while they affectively approached the adoptive fatherss without any apparent setbacks. For that reason, to contribute to the development of the work whith older than four year old children s adoption (here refered as older child adoption ), preparing the adoptees and assisting the adoptive parents on the filiation process, we sought to identify these filiations particularities. Furthermore, we analyzed how the maternity and paternity was experienced on the adaptation period and, more, and the relation of the couple regarding the will to adopt related to the child s interaction with the adoptive figures. Thereunto, we conducted a psychoanalytic approach s reaseach, analysing adaptation periods attendance reports. As results, regarding the adoptive children, we verified that the precariousness on experiencing the parental imago s mourning affects the emotional reinvestment upon the new maternal figures. As for the adoptive families, we noticed that the difficulties experiencing the biological child s mourning interferes on the adoptive filiation. Especially, for the adoptive mothers, it required mourn being a mother as being the son s primary love object, since, because of the child s development, he will demand a different relationship pattern than the one experienced with a baby. Upon the findings, we hope to contribute to the development of new knowledge to base te adoptive families preparation, essential to the adoptions success. / Este estudo baseou-se no acompanhamento, por parte da pesquisadora como analista judiciária, de quatro casos de adoção de crianças entre quatro e 10 anos de idade, tramitados na Segunda Vara da Infância e Juventude de Recife, ao longo do ano de 2013. Nesses casos, constatamos a dificuldade de os adotandos filiarem-se às mães adotivas, às quais se gerou grande sofrimento, enquanto se aproximaram afetivamente dos pais adotivos sem aparentes percalços. Por tal razão, a fim de contribuir para o trabalho desenvolvido nas adoções de crianças acima de quatro anos (aqui referidos como adoções de criança maior ), preparando os adotandos e auxiliando os adotantes no processo de filiação, buscamos identificar as particularidades dessa filiação. Além do mais, analisamos o modo de se vivenciarem a maternidade e a paternidade nos estágios de convivência e, ainda, de a relação do casal quanto ao desejo de adoção, relacionar-se com a interação da criança com as figuras parentais adotivas. Para isso, realizamos uma pesquisa de abordagem psicanalítica, analisando os relatos de acompanhamento dos estágios de convivência. Como resultado, em relação às crianças adotadas, constatamos que a precariedade na vivência do luto das imagos parentais prejudica o reinvestimento afetivo nas novas figuras maternas. Já em relação às famílias adotivas, percebemos que as dificuldades na vivência do luto do filho biológico interferem na filiação adotiva. Especificamente, para as mães adotivas, é necessário o luto do lugar de mãe como o lugar do objeto de amor primordial do filho, uma vez que, pelo desenvolvimento do adotando, a criança demandará um modelo de relação diferente daquela construída com infantes. Diante de tais constatações, esperamos contribuir para a construção de novos conhecimentos que embasem o trabalho de preparação das famílias adotivas, fundamental para o sucesso na adoção.

In the context of physical disability, the involvement of a child in chronic pathology refers the family to a re-dimensioning of aspects such as: professional, financial, social and emotional. This dissertation focuses on paternity in the context of Cerebral Palsy (CP) of a child with the objective of understanding paternal involvement in the context of CP in the light of Systemic Theory. The nature of this research is qualitative and involved five parents whose children have a diagnosis of CP. They responded to a semi-structured interview, through a script, which was analyzed according to the Thematic Content Analysis. The understanding of the experience of being and feeling the father of a disabled child was based on the construct Paternal Involvement, according to the dimension of the behavior of the father via interaction, accessibility and responsibility. The empirical categories were two thematic areas: a) the family system and the CP: from the process of building paternity to changes in the system; and b) systemic understanding of parental involvement. The main results showed that: 1) the predominant family configuration was nuclear, with the father, in general, being the main provider and the companion dedicating to the care with the child; 2) the news of the diagnosis was received with surprise, sadness and shock; 3) the child's illness caused changes in the organization of the family routine and in the conjugality of the parents; 4) the parents were involved in the care of the child, from the gestational period, with the exception of one of them; 5) everyone said they were available to meet the needs of the child, basically at times when they are present at home; 6) they pointed to work as an impediment to availability, especially in rehabilitation care, and it was remarkable the lack of involvement of the extended family in their support role; 7) parents were unanimous in claiming changes in their way of being and in the conception of life, which promoted their growth and personal maturation; 8) in the field of care, these parents can be characterized as agents inserted in the treatment, even if the majority do not participate systematically in consultations and rehabilitation sessions, 9) the professionals were generally perceived as people who did not offer sufficient incentives for parental participation in the field of care, since they directed the practices and discourses to the maternal figure; 10) despite the difficulties faced, paternal involvement in this context was evaluated as positive. The systematicity, quality and intensity of involvement varied from a more operative involvement and involvement (with supposed less affective involvement) to a participation with a qualitatively different involvement. It is necessary to revisit discourses and practices of the health team to know the stimulus to paternal participation, empowering the family in the field of care. It is pointed out the need for future research to broaden and deepen the understanding of parental involvement in the context of deficiencies and in the new family configurations, allowing the creation of spaces where these men can be listened and stimulated to express themselves, empowering the family, co-responsible in building bonds. / A jornada do pai vem sendo modificada significativamente, contextualizada por transformações socioculturais e históricas que demandam revisões de valores, comportamentos e papéis, extrapolando a função tradicional de provedor financeiro da família. No contexto da deficiência física, o acometimento de um filho pela patologia crônica remete a família a um redimensionamento de aspectos como: profissional, financeiro, relacional, social e emocional. Esta dissertação focaliza a paternidade no contexto da Paralisia Cerebral (PC) de um(a) filho(a), objetivando compreender o envolvimento paterno à luz da Teoria Sistêmica. A natureza desta pesquisa é qualitativa e participaram cinco pais cujos filhos apresentam diagnóstico de PC. Responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada, mediante roteiro, que foi analisada segundo a Análise de Conteúdo Temática. A compreensão da experiência do ser e sentir-se pai de uma criança deficiente foi embasada pelo construto Envolvimento Paterno, segundo a dimensão do comportamento do pai via a interação, a acessibilidade e a responsabilidade. As categorias empíricas constituíram duas áreas temáticas: a) o sistema familiar e a PC: do processo de construção da paternidade às modificações no sistema; e b) compreensão sistêmica do envolvimento paterno. Os principais resultados mostraram que: 1) a configuração familiar predominante foi a nuclear, com o pai, em geral, sendo o principal provedor e a companheira dedicando-se aos cuidados com o filho; 2) a notícia do diagnóstico foi recebida com surpresa, tristeza e choque; 3) a PC acarretou mudanças na organização da rotina familiar e na conjugalidade dos pais; 4) os pais mostraram-se envolvidos no cuidado com o filho, desde o período gestacional, à exceção de um deles; 5) todos se disseram disponíveis para atender às necessidades do filho, basicamente nos momentos em que estão presente em casa; 6) apontaram o trabalho como um empecilho à disponibilidade, sobretudo nos cuidados de reabilitação, e ficou marcante o pouco envolvimento da família extensa em sua função de apoio; 7) foram unânimes em alegar mudanças no seu jeito de ser e na concepção de vida, o que promoveu seu crescimento e amadurecimento pessoal; 8) no campo da assistência, podem ser caracterizados como agentes inseridos no tratamento, mesmo que a maioria não participe sistematicamente das consultas e sessões de reabilitação; 9) os profissionais foram percebidos, de modo geral, como pessoas que não oferecem incentivos suficientes para a participação paterna no campo da assistência, pois direcionavam as práticas e discursos à figura materna; 10) apesar das dificuldades enfrentadas, o envolvimento paterno, nesse contexto, foi avaliado como positivo. A sistematicidade, a qualidade e a intensidade do envolvimento variaram: de uma participação e um envolvimento mais operatório (com suposto menor envolvimento afetivo), a uma participação com envolvimento qualitativamente diferente. Há que se revisitar discursos e práticas da equipe de saúde para conhecer o estímulo à participação paterna, empoderando a família no campo da assistência. Aponta-se a necessidade de investigações futuras que ampliem e aprofundem a compreensão sobre o envolvimento paterno no contexto das deficiências e nas novas configurações familiares, oportunizando a criação de espaços onde esses homens possam ser escutados e estimulados a se expressar, empoderando a família, co-responsável na construção de vínculos.

The purpose of this research was to explore the life of single-mothers raising boys. The focus of this research was to provide information of life experiences for women who raised sons by themselves. The study also showed effects of divorce on single-mothers, pointed out experiences specific to raising boys, and looked at the issue of support. The study involved interviewing divorced single-mothers with standard, open-ended questions about raising boys. The questions discussed such issues as their relationships with their sons, and what types of support, if any, they had while they raised their sons. Participants included single-mothers who had not remarried, who were college graduates and whose language of communication was English. The interviews were then recorded and transcribed. The findings indicate that support to the mother does matter. The majority of the mothers interviewed had support for themselves and for their child. In most of the cases where support was offered, the primary figure was another female. In two-thirds of the cases, the other adult support figure was the grandmother. In one other case, it was the mother's daughter. Much of the literature states that outcomes on the lives of boys raised by single divorced mothers should be heavily impacted by problems in their lives (Amato & Keith, 1991). The 6 boys of the mothers interviewed here were not. While 4 of the mothers also had girls, certain issues were specific to raising boys. While 3 of the boys were young, 3 were over the age of 18 and their lives had not followed the prevailing research. This study indicated that for this particular group of single-mothers, support from others, determination and hard work on the part of the mothers, have made a difference in the lives of their sons. By providing support to the mother, support was made available to the son.

Text in Afrikaans / This study is aimed at the development of a guiding framework for fathers and their adolescent sons by focusing on male identity as the main binding factor in the relationship between father a and son. The establishment, as well as the confusion regarding male identity, have been stated as starting point and problem statement of the study. The need regarding the way in which the father and son can be guided within this dynamic relationship in order to establish male identity, has been stated as motivation for the study. The need regarding the guidance of fathers and their sons was thus the primary aim with the research question, namely what the most applicable factors in a guiding framework should be that would guide fathers and their sons in order to support the formation of male identity within the sons. The research methodology that has been followed, was from a Gestalt perspective as meta theoretical assumption from which qualitative, explorative and descriptive strategies were followed. The qualitative strategy consisted of an auto-ethnography and semi-structured interviews. The trustworthiness of the research has been strengthened by a quantitative component of the research by utilizing questionnaires, after which data was collected and analysed. A purposive sample was drawn that included respondents from the Drakenstein municipal area in the Boland district. Categories that were identified from data from the semi-structured interviews, as well as indicators from the questionnaires, have been integrated, from which propositions were constructed. Six themes and resulting guiding strategies were presented in the form of a guiding framework. / Hierdie studie is gerig op die ontwikkeling van 'n begeleidingsraamwerk vir vaders en hulle adolessente seuns deur te fokus op manlike identiteit as die samebindende faktor in die verhouding tussen vader en seun. Die vestiging, asook die verwarring ten opsigte van manlike identiteit, is as vertrekpunt en probleemstelling vir die studie gestel. Die behoefte ten opsigte van die manier waarop vader en seun binne hierdie dinamiese verhouding begelei kan word ten einde manlike identiteit te vestig, is as motivering vir die studie gestel. Die behoefte aan begeleiding vir vaders en huile seuns was dus die primere doel met 'n navorsingsvraag, naamlik wat die mees toepaslike faktore sal wees wat in 'n begeleidingsraamwerk aan vaders en hulle seuns leiding sal bied ten einde die vorming van manlike identiteit by die seuns te ondersteun. Die navorsingsmetodologie wat gevolg is, was vanuit die Gestaltperspekief as metateoretiese aanname waaruit kwalitatiewe, verkennende en beskrywende strategies gevolg is. Die kwalitatiewe strategie het bestaan uit 'n outoetnografie en semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude. Die vertrouenswaardigheid van die navorsing is deur 'n kwantitatiewe komponent van die navorsing versterk deur vraelyste te benut waarna data ingesamel en geanaliseer is. 'n Doelgerigte steekproef is getrek, wat respondente ingesluit het uit die Drakenstein munisipale gebied in die Boland distrik. Kategoriee wat vanuit die data van die semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude geidentifiseer is, asook indikatore vanuit die vraelyste, is geintegreer waaruit proposisies saamgestel is. Ses temas en voortspruitende begeleidingstrategiee is aangebied in die vorm van 'n begeleidingsraamwerk. / Social Work / D.Diac. (Spelterapie)

Coetzee's own experience of living in apartheid South Africa provides the backdrop for novels infused with sardonic irony and rich metaphoric systems. In modes of metafiction that emphasize the destructive and violent nature of language, he optimizes his unique oeuvre to interrogate global, national and domestic power relations. This dissertation relies on psychoanalytical theories that examine microstructures of power within the individual, and in his domestic domain. Each of Coetzee's chief protagonists carries a secret related to a dysfunctional mother/son relationship. This hampers their psychosocial dynamics, their masculinity and sexuality. As they respectively strive toward an elusive new life they confront patriarchal power structures that speak on behalf of individuals, '[whose] descent into powerlessness [is] voluntary' (Coetzee 2007: 4-5). Coetzee's constructed white males perform their several identity roles in milieux that span divergent phases of colonial history. His critique points to white patriarchal hegemonic ideological discourses that bespeak the self/other dichotomy in a postcolonial world where the language of dominance supports an oppressive status quo. / English Studies / M.A. (English)

The study investigated adolescent boys who experienced behavioural problems at school and the possible causes for these phenomena. It was evident that the adolescent boys who experienced behavioural problems were found to lack emotional connections with others due to their fathers’ absence and lack of positive attachment. A total of 403 adolescent boys from various schools in the Tshwane districts were used in the sample group. This quantitative study employed the use of a quantitative questionnaire as a means of data collection that included qualitative open-ended question as a method to enrich the quantitative data and obtain insight into the life world functioning and experience of the participants. The primary aim of the research study was to determine the emotional relationship between fathers and sons within the sample group. Secondly, the study sought to investigate how this emotional relationship affects the adolescent boy’s self-concept, resilience and motivational aspects in his daily functioning. The approach to quantitative data analysis was by means of descriptive statistical analysis. The findings revealed that emotionally absent fathers indeed impact negatively on the adolescent boys’ resilience and motivational aspects of their functioning and that a father’s absence has a significant influence on the behaviours of adolescent boys in relation to motivation and resilience. However, the research results also revealed that an emotionally absent father does not significantly affect the self–concept of an adolescent boy. Finally, an intervention programme was developed to assist and guide fathers and adolescent boys to improve their relationship with one another. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed.
