Em Crítica do Poder, Axel Honneth defende que aqueles que buscam realizar o projeto da teoria crítica têm de desenvolver um quadro conceitual que seja capaz de compreender tanto as estruturas da dominação social como os recursos sociais necessários à sua superação prática. Partindo de uma reconstrução do percurso de Honneth até Luta por Reconhecimento, procuramos inicialmente mostrar que a teoria do reconhecimento corresponde à tentativa do autor de realizar essas tarefas. Explicitando, no entanto, que seus esforços nesse momento se concentram nas tarefas de reconstruir a dinâmica normativa das relações intersubjetivas e o interesse estrutural dos seres humanos pelo reconhecimento, defendemos que Honneth acaba perdendo de vista o fato de que as relações sociais estão perpassadas por relações de poder. Retomando então as críticas dirigidas a Honneth por diversos autores, argumentamos que, tal como formulada em Luta por Reconhecimento, a teoria honnethiana do reconhecimento depende de uma compreensão redutora do poder. Tendo em vista que, após seu debate com Nancy Fraser, Honneth reconhece esse problema e reformula importantes elementos de sua teoria, dedicamos parte da tese à análise dessas reformulações. Ao fazermos isso, nosso objetivo é mostrar que, embora procure dar conta da relação entre reconhecimento e poder, Honneth acaba se afastando, em seus textos mais recentes, da noção de dominação social. Defendendo, por fim, o projeto crítico esboçado em Crítica do Poder, dedicamos a última seção da tese à discussão do trabalho de três diferentes representantes de uma nova geração de teóricos críticos, cujo objetivo parece ser exatamente o de realizá-lo. / In Critique of Power, Axel Honneth argues that those who seek to realize the project of critical theory today must develop a conceptual framework able to comprehend both the structures of social domination and the social resources for its practical overcoming. Starting with a reconstruction of Honneths theoretical development until Struggle for Recognition, our first aim is to show that the theory of recognition corresponds to the author\'s attempt to fulfill these tasks. Pointing out, however, that his efforts at this time are concentrated on the tasks of reconstructing the normative dynamics of intersubjective relations and the structural human interest for recognition, we argue that Honneth ends up losing sight of the fact that power permeate social relations. Resuming, at this point, the criticisms directed at Honneth by various authors, we aim to show that his recognition theory, as presented in Struggle for Recognition, depends on a reductive understanding of power. Considering that, after his debate with Nancy Fraser, Honneth acknowledges this problem and reformulates important elements of his theory, we devote part of this thesis to an analysis of the different strategies deployed by Honneth with this purpose. By doing this, our goal is to show that even thou Honneth tries to account for the relationship between recognition and power, in his most recent texts, he seems to abandon the concept of social domination. Advocating, finally, for the critical project presented by Honneth in Critique of Power, will devote the last section of the thesis to discuss the work of three different representatives of a new generation of critical theorists, whose purpose seems to be exactly to realize it.

O debate sobre redistribuição e reconhecimento tem como principais referências os trabalhos de Nancy Fraser e Axel Honneth, bem como o livro Redistribuição ou Reconhecimento? Uma controvérsia político-filosófica, obra que reúne contribuições de ambos. Cada um destes autores atribui, contudo, um diferente significado a esses dois conceitos que são também mobilizados por eles de modos distintos. Com o objetivo de explorar esse debate no interior e a partir da controvérsia Fraser-Honneth, abordaremos a compreensão que os dois possuem sobre as relações entre redistribuição e reconhecimento, em seus diferentes níveis de análise. Tomando como fio condutor a pergunta acerca da possibilidade de que o conjunto de injustiças existentes seja compreendido a partir do conceito de reconhecimento, ou acerca da necessidade de recorrer para isso ao par conceitual redistribuição e reconhecimento, pretendemos mostrar que por mais importantes que sejam as questões relativas à base normativa de suas teorias, à importância e ao caráter que atribuem aos conflitos sociais a disputa entre o monismo proposto por Honneth e o dualismo defendido por Fraser tem em seu centro questões sobre teoria social, por meio das quais procuram compreender as relações entre a economia e a cultura e apresentar teorias do poder aptas a diagnosticar as injustiças ou patologias sociais existentes. Injustiças que, segundo eles, precisam ser analisadas também no interior das interações sociais, que estariam perpassadas por relações de poder. / The debate about redistribution and recognition has as its central theoretical references, Nancy Frasers and Axel Honneths work and, mainly, the book Redistribution or Recognition? A political-philosophical exchange, a work that gathers contributions from both of them. Each of these authors ascribes, though, a different meaning to those two concepts that are, besides, mobilised by them in distinguished ways. With the aim to explore this debate within and from Fraser-Honneth controversy, we seek to discuss the comprehension that both authors sustain regarding the relations between redistribution and recognition, in its different levels of analysis. Establishing as our guiding line the question concerning the possibility that the set of existing injustices be comprehended only through the concept of recognition, or if to do so is necessary to call upon the conceptual par redistribution and recognition, we aim to pinpoint that although questions regarding the normative basis of their theories and the importance or character they assign to the social conflicts might be of fundamental importance the dispute between the monism endorsed by Honneth and the dualism advocated by Fraser has its center the different social theories developed by those authors, through which they seek to understand the relations between culture and economy and to bring foreword theories of power that can diagnose the existent social pathologies or injustices. Injustices that, according to them, need to be properly analysed within social interactions, also pervaded by power relations.

O presente trabalho pretende discutir o tema da democracia a partir do pensamento de Axel Honneth, localizado no interior da tradição de pensamento que se convencionou chamar de Teoria Crítica da Escola de Frankfurt. Para tanto, realizará uma investigação cronológica dos principais antecessores de Honneth, com ênfase em Theodor W. Adorno e Max Horkheimer, como representantes da primeira geração, e em Jürgen Habermas, representante da segunda geração e orientador de doutorado de Honneth. Nesse percurso, o tema da democracia será examinado a partir das contribuições teóricas de tais autores. Objetiva-se, com isso, verificar, em primeiro lugar, a evolução desse conceito até sua consolidação na ideia de uma democracia participativa, concebida por Habermas e situada num contexto de crítica aos modelos tradicionais calcados na representação política. A partir daí, serão apresentadas as reflexões de Axel Honneth sobre o tema, a partir da categoria da Luta por Reconhecimento, que Honneth atualiza do pensamento do Hegel de Jena, em cotejo com autores da psicologia, com o fim de verificar se tais ideias correspondem a um modelo teórico novo de democracia ou se atendem, em específico, a preencher as lacunas da teoria habermasiana. Espera-se como resultado verificar tal indagação e, transversalmente, explorar as contribuições de uma abordagem calcada na Luta por Reconhecimento como uma maneira de lançar um novo olhar para os problemas da democracia contemporânea. / This paper will discuss the theme of democracy from the thought of Axel Honneth, locatead within the tradition of Critical Theory of the Frankfurt Eschool.

The objective is, therefore, verify, first, the evolution of this concept to its consolidation in the idea of participatory democracy, conceived by Habermas and set in a context of criticism of the traditional models rooted in political representation. Thereafter, the reflections will be presented by Axel Honneth on the topic from the category of the Struggle for Recognition, Honneth updates of thought that Hegel\'s Jena, in comparison with authors of psychology, in order to ascertain whether such ideas are a new theoretical model of democracy or to serve, in particular, to fill gaps in the theory of Habermas. The expected results verify this question, and across, explore the contributions of an approach grounded in the Struggle for Recognition as a way to launch a new look at the problems of contemporary democracy.

This contribution takes into account and partially systematize the issue of energy of the subjects based on their relevance set, which are the aspects that anchor cognition. Thus, the recognition process would be linked in some way to offset that particular stimulus produces. Love would be the main stimulus, in recognition sphere, being responsible for others: law and solidarity (or social contributions), to be compensatory. Even we defend love as the genesis of democracy. In this sense, we seek the elements of recognition of Axel Honneth in Spiritist Doctrine, using the analytical method we call the scheme of the provisions, to assess the provisions and / or energies of people and institutions to women within the Spiritism, where we use quantitative sampling (data by sex of command posts), qualitative (interviews), bibliographic and documentary research. The spiritist movement of Rio Grande do Sul (State of Brazil) had in 2015, among its 406 societies in the sample, 51% of women were in the presidency. We identify elements that support the Honneth's thesis that the substantiation practices in the spheres of love, law and solidarity, shapes the social praxis of this religious movement in an milieu with very symmetrical relations between men and women, with effective participation in policy formation of the community will, ensuring not only autonomy but somehow female individuation. / Procuramos unificar duas teorias sob um norte comum: a Teoria do Reconhecimento (Honneth) e a Teoria da Relev?ncia (Rauen; Campos; Sperber e Wilson), ou seja, um aporte cognitivo-comunicativo para as rela??es de reconhecimento. Tal aporte leva em conta e sistematiza parcialmente a quest?o das energias dos sujeitos baseado no seu conjunto de relev?ncias, que s?o os aspectos que ancoram a cogni??o. Deste modo, o processo de reconhecimento estaria vinculado, de alguma maneira, ?s compensa??es que determinado est?mulo produz. O amor seria o est?mulo principal, dentro da esfera do reconhecimento, sendo respons?vel pelos outros: direito e solidariedade (ou contribui??o social), por ser compensat?rio. Inclusive, defendemos o amor como a g?nese da democracia. Nesse sentido, procuramos os elementos do reconhecimento de Axel Honneth dentro da Doutrina Esp?rita, utilizando o m?todo anal?tico que chamamos de economia das disposi??es, para aferir as disposi??es e/ou energias das pessoas e das institui??es para com as mulheres dentro do Espiritismo, onde usamos amostragem quantitativa (dados por sexo dos postos de comando), qualitativa (entrevistas), bibliogr?fica e documental. O movimento esp?rita do Rio Grande do Sul possu?a em 2015, dentre as suas 406 sociedades da amostra, 51% de mulheres na presid?ncia. Identificamos elementos que corroboram a tese de Honneth em que a consubstancia??o de pr?ticas nas esferas do amor, do direito e da solidariedade, conforma a pr?xis social desse movimento religioso, num ambiente com rela??es bastante sim?tricas entre homens e mulheres, com participa??o efetiva na pol?tica da forma??o da vontade comunit?ria, garantindo n?o s? autonomia, mas de certa forma, individua??o feminina.

The thesis discusses the impact of violations on patients, research participants, society, and institutions; besides issues related to injustice and dishonesty arising from misconduct. COIs and misconduct provoke political, technical, ethical, and moral offenses when individuals are affected | violated in nonrecognition dynamics. The three patterns [affective, legal, solidarity] can have as consequence: [i] psychic death in the first pattern of [affective] recognition; [ii] social death in the second [legal] standard; and [iii] social humiliation in the third standard [solidarity]. The struggle for recognition is the condition for conflicts to be normative. There are models of justice such as: redistributive; economist, and recognition. But this thesis is delimited around the contribution of recognition to the theoretical confrontation of COIs and integrity. It is presumed that the struggle for recognition is a fundamental element in order to initiate research on COIs and integrity, thus articulating an interdisciplinary approach [Philosophy and Health]. COIs is a set of circumstances or conditions in which professional judgment of a primary interest such as integrity and quality in research tends to be unduly influenced by a secondary interest such as personal financial gain. COIs are classified into primary and secondary interests. Primary interests are determined by the professional duties of the researcher, physician, counselor and other professionals of the institution, and are related to the integrity of these different actors, and to the patient's well-being. Secondary interests are any type of interest that may affect the primary interest priority. They are harmful when they influence, corrupt or distort integrity and affect the judgment of the practitioner in relation to patient health and integrity. In addition to the definition proposed by Emanuel et al. [2008], this research comprehensively covers several areas of knowledge and institutions [universities, pharmaceutical industries, editors, professional and patient associations, and Research Ethics Committees]. Integrity has broad domain with many emphases, and demands commitment from various actors [institution, citizen, governors, patients, development agencies, etc.], that is, it involves a more reflective point of view on guidelines focusing on the development of multiple spheres, abilities or even virtues of the individual. It is imperative to recognize that COIs in clinical research and violations of integrity affect not only health professionals but every society, thus justifying the citizen's struggle not only against social order but against the social place to which, at present, science is being condemned. This is not the sole responsibility of scientists, but of the whole society and in particular of its rulers, researchers and professionals. Partnerships between researchers, teaching and research institutions, universities, patient associations, government, laboratories and universities are important for the development of science. Therefore, there is no pretense of stigmatizing these partnerships involving different actors. / Esta tese investiga com base na Teoria do Reconhecimento de Axel Honneth, os Conflitos de interesses [COIs] e a integridade no processo de emancipa??o e manejo de uma diversidade de quest?es lim?trofes tais como: desrespeito [Mi?achtung] e viola??o [Verletzung] ao cidad?o, capazes de provocar profundas transforma??es e mudan?as ? sociedade em face das caracter?sticas peculiares de uma realidade social concreta de dom?nio democr?tico participativo. A tese discute o impacto das viola??es causadas aos pacientes, aos participantes de pesquisa, a sociedade, e as institui??es; al?m de quest?es relacionadas a injusti?a e desonestidade decorrentes da m? conduta. COIs e m? conduta provocam impasses pol?ticos, t?cnicos, ?ticos, e ofensa moral, quando os indiv?duos s?o afetados | violados em din?micas de n?o reconhecimento [nonrecognition]. Os tr?s padr?es [afetivo, jur?dico, solidariedade] podem ter como consequ?ncia: [i] morte ps?quica no primeiro padr?o de reconhecimento [afetivo]; [ii] morte social no segundo padr?o [jur?dico]; e [iii] humilha??o social no terceiro padr?o [solidariedade]. A luta por reconhecimento ? a condi??o para que os conflitos sejam normativos. H? modelos de justi?a tais como: redistributivo; economicista, e de reconhecimento. Mas esta tese ? delimitada em torno da contribui??o do reconhecimento para o enfrentamento te?rico dos COIs e da integridade. Presume-se que a luta por reconhecimento constitui elemento fundamental para instanciar a investiga??o sobre COIs e integridade, articulando desta forma uma abordagem interdisciplinar [Filosofia e Sa?de]. COIs ? um conjunto de circunst?ncias ou condi??es nas quais o julgamento profissional de um interesse prim?rio como integridade e qualidade na pesquisa tende ser influenciado indevidamente por um interesse secund?rio, como ganho financeiro pessoal. Os COIs s?o classificados em interesses prim?rios e secund?rios. Os interesses prim?rios s?o determinados pelos deveres profissionais do pesquisador, m?dico, orientador e demais profissionais da institui??o, e est?o relacionados ? integridade destes distintos atores, e ao bem-estar do paciente. Os interesses secund?rios s?o qualquer tipo de interesse que possa afetar a prioridade do interesse prim?rio. S?o prejudiciais quando influenciam, corrompem ou distorcem a integridade e afetam o julgamento do profissional em rela??o ? sa?de do paciente, e a integridade. Para al?m da defini??o proposta por Emanuel et al. [2008], de maneira ampla esta pesquisa abrange diversas ?reas do conhecimento e institui??es [universidades, ind?strias farmac?uticas, editores, associa??es profissionais e de pacientes, e Comit?s de ?tica em Pesquisa]. Integridade possui dom?nio amplo com v?rias ?nfases, e demanda compromisso de diversos atores [institui??o, cidad?o, governantes, pacientes, ag?ncias de fomento, etc.], ou seja, envolve um ponto de vista mais reflexivo sobre diretrizes com foco no desenvolvimento de m?ltiplas esferas, capacidades ou mesmo virtudes do indiv?duo. ? imprescind?vel reconhecer que os COIs em pesquisa cl?nica e as viola??es de integridade n?o afetam apenas os profissionais da sa?de, mas toda sociedade, justificando assim a luta do cidad?o n?o apenas contra a ordem social, mas contra o lugar social ao qual, na atualidade, a ci?ncia est? sendo condenada. Esta n?o ? uma responsabilidade exclusiva dos cientistas, mas de toda a sociedade e em particular dos seus governantes, pesquisadores e profissionais. Parcerias entre pesquisadores, institui??es de ensino e pesquisa, universidades, associa??es de pacientes, governo, laborat?rios e universidades s?o importantes para o desenvolvimento da ci?ncia. Portanto, n?o h? pretens?o de estigmatizar estas parcerias envolvendo distintos atores.

Bakgrund:  Simning är en populär sport. De extrema repetitiva rörelserna som ingår i sporter med majoriteten av rörelserna över huvudet, som exempelvis simning, och otillräcklig stabilitet i axelleden resulterar ofta i överansträngning och skador. Ett vanligt syndrom är impingement och det har rapporterats att 40-91 % av alla simmare har eller upplever problem i axelleden eller de omkringliggande strukturerna. Syfte: Att undersöka om en intervention bestående av övningar för scapulas närliggande muskler i fyra veckor kan påverka upplevd smärta i axel och nacke hos unga simmare. Deltagare: Sexton unga simmare mellan åldrarna (13±2), bestående av (10 flickor och 6 pojkar) deltog. Alla deltagare utförde minst fyra simpass i veckan. Alla deltagare i studien upplever problematik i axel och/eller nacke. Metod: Deltagarna fick fylla i ett (SRQ-S) formulär och genomgå ett Beighton-test. Alla deltagare instruerades i fyra olika övningar, syftet med övningarna var att öka neuromuskulär kontroll och styrka i axelns stabiliserande muskler. Alla övningar skulle utföras innan träningspass, minst en gång om dagen, i fyra veckor. Efter fyra veckors interventionen fick deltagarna fylla i ett nytt (SRQ-S) formulär, den totala poängen innan och efter jämfördes. Resultat:  (SRQ-S) formulären resulterade i en signifikant skillnad (p=0,0005) mellan innan och efter interventionen. Majoriteten av deltagarna rapporterade ett högre välmående i axel och/eller nacke. Konklusion : Majoriteten av deltagarna upplevde minskad problematik i axel och/eller nacke efter fyra veckors interventionen. Det visar på att det finns ett samband mellan ökad axel stabilisering och minskad upplevd smärta i axel/nacke. Dock kan denna studie inte komma till en säker konklusion då vidare undersökning måste göras i detta område. / Background : Competitive swimming is a popular sport. The extreme repetitive motions that overhead-sports implies, like swimming, and inadequate stability in the shoulder joint often results in overexertions and injuries. A common condition is impingement syndrome and it has been reported that 40-91% of all swimmers have or experience problems in the shoulder joint or in the surrounding structures. Purpose : To investigate whether an intervention consisting of exercises for scapulas nearby muscles for four weeks can affect perceived distress in the shoulders and neck of young swimmers. Participants : Sixteen young swimmer between the age of (13±2), consisting of (10 females and 6 males) volunteered to participate. All the participants are performing at least four sessions of swimming a week. All the participants in the study are experiencing trouble in their neck or/and shoulders. Method : The participants had to fill in a (SRQ-S) form and do a Beighton-test. Participants were instructed in four different exercises, the purpose of the exercises were to increase neuromuscular control and strength in the shoulder stabilizing muscles. All exercise were to be performed before every session of swimming, at least once a day, for four weeks. After the four weeks of intervention the participants had to fill in a new (SRQ-S) form, the before and after score were compared. Results : The (SRQ-S) formulas resulted in a significant difference (p=0,0005) between before and after the intervention. The majority of the participants reported also a higher prosperous in their shoulder and/or neck area. Conclusion: The majority of the participant experienced less discomfort in their shoulder and neck area after the four weeks of intervention. There seems to be a relationship between increased shoulder stability and decrease in discomfort in the shoulder/neck. However this study can not come to a secure conclusion and further investigation has to be made in this area.

>Magister Scientiae - MSc / An increasing number of measurements reveal the presence of a low-energy enhancement in the gamma-ray strength function (GSF). The GSF, which is the ability of nuclei to absorb or emit rays, provides insight into the statistical properties of atomic nuclei. For this project the GSF was studied for 74Ge which was populated in the reaction 74Ge(p,p')74Ge* at a beam energy of 18 MeV. The data were collected with the STARS-LIBERACE array at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Silicon detector telescopes were used for particle identi cation and rays in coincidence were detected with 5 clover-type high-purity germanium detectors. Through the analysis particle- - coincidence events were constructed. These events, together with well-known energy levels, were used to identify primary rays from the quasicontinuum. Primary rays from a broad excitation energy region, which decay to six 2+ states could be identi ed. These states and the associated primary rays are used to measure the GSF for 74Ge with the Ratio Method [1], which entails taking ratios of e ciency-corrected primary -ray intensities from the quasicontinuum. Results from the analysis of the data and focus on the existence of the low-energy enhancement in 74Ge will be discussed. The results are further discussed in the context of other work done on 74Ge using the ( , ') [2], (3He,3He') [3] and ( , ') [4] reactions.
