Is Safe Haven Legislation an Efficacious Policy Response to Infant Abandonment: A Biopsychosocial Profile of the Target PopulationGruss, Stephanie Mayes 01 January 2006 (has links)
This study represents an attempt to describe the extent and features of safe haven legislation in the United States, discuss implementation issues, and to examine if the legislation is reaching its intended target audience in order to answer the question, "Is safe haven legislation an efficacious response to infant abandonment?" Safe havens are designated locations where infants can be anonymously abandoned without fear of prosecution or incarceration. As of May of 2006, forty-seven states have passed such legislation, citing the need for an alternative to unsafe infant abandonment leading to an infant's death, and an alternative to infanticide (the killing of an infant within one year of its birth). Since the initial passage of this legislation in Texas in 1999, there have been more unsafe infant abandonments than accounts of safe haven abandonments. As this legislation provides for anonymous infant abandonment researchers cannot study the population of women actually utilizing safe havens. Therefore, the study of women seeking connection with safe havens in comparison to the population of women who have engaged in infant abandonment resulting in an infant's death is considered one of the sole viable sources of insight into this problem. The scope of the research is exploratory in nature and analyses are considered preliminary due to the lack of data that exists in this area and the relative newness of the legislation.A quantitative analysis of women likely to utilize safe havens reveals that they have a mean age of 19, are unmarried, have entered into prenatal care late, have disclosed their pregnancy to someone, and are currently dating the birthfather. The findings from this analysis were compared to those from a national linked birth and infant death dataset to ascertain if women seeking safe havens have similar biopsychosocial characteristics as those engaging in unsafe abandonment leading to an infant's death. Similar biopsychosocial characteristics were found including mother's age, marital status, late entry into prenatal care, disclosure of pregnancy, and dating status. A regression analysis was used to construct a biopsychosocial profile of women likely to abandon an infant. Findings suggest that legislators and those involved with safe havens have some knowledge of their target population, but are not effectively reaching this audience, nor promoting the existence of safe havens. They also appear to be utilizing research findings on infanticide inappropriately, in order to profile their target audience. This effectively limits the promulgation of education and early identification services that could prevent both safe haven and unsafe infant abandonments. This study concludes with policy reform recommendations.

[en] DESTITUTE IN LIFE: A CRITICAL VIEW ABOUT SOCIAL RELATIONS BUILT BY ADULTS WITHOUT BIRTH CERTIFICATE IN RIO DE JANEIRO / [pt] INDIGENTES NA VIDA: UM OLHAR CRÍTICO DAS RELAÇÕES SOCIAIS CONSTRUÍDAS POR ADULTOS SEM CERTIDÃO DE NASCIMENTO NO RIO DE JANEIROLOANNA MORAES BOUSQUET NETTO 03 June 2020 (has links)
[pt] O registro tardio de nascimento é o tema que norteia o trabalho. A pesquisa social tem caráter qualitativo e indutivo, apoiada teórico-metodologicamente no materialismo histórico-dialético, onde foram realizadas entrevistas narrativas à quatro pessoas, entre 19 e 62 anos, que iniciaram seu processo judicial de registro tardio de nascimento no ano de 2019, pela Justiça Itinerante Especializada em Subregistro no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. O estudo objetivou compreender as relações sociais, que pessoas não registradas civilmente estabeleceram para sua reprodução social numa sociedade em que a existência do sujeito está submetida à formalidade legal. Foi utilizado o recurso da triangulação de técnicas em pesquisa, incluindo a análise documental, produção de dados quantitativos a partir de consulta em questionário da instituição participante e observação. O método de interpretação dos sentidos, sob a perspectiva hermenêutica dialética, foi adotado para a análise das narrativas. Os resultados apontam para a determinação do processo de formação sócio-histórico brasileiro, e a emergência de uma população sem documentação básica, no pós-abolição da escravatura no Brasil. Ademais, indicam a necessária relação entre questão racial e a questão social brasileira; a centralidade do trabalho nas relações sociais e resistências forjadas para a sobrevivência de uma vida não documentada. / [en] The civil register of late births is the thme that directs the work. The social research has classed as qualitative and indutive, based theorical and methodologically on the historical and dialectical materialism where had been realized narrative interviews to four people between 19 and 62 year old that iniciate their legal action of civil register of late birth on 2019 by The Specialized Itinerant Justice in under-registration of State of Rio de Janeiro. The study purpose to comprehend the social relations that people non-civil registrated established for your social reprodution in a society where the individual existence is submitted to legal formality. Was employed the triangulation feature of techniques in research, including documental analysis, production of quantitative data from consultation questionnaire from participating institution and observation. The interpretation method of sense under the hermeneutical dialectical perpective was embraced for a analysis of narratives. The results indicate the determination of the Brazilian sociohistorical formation process and the growth of a population without basic documentation after the abolition of slavery. Furthermore, it indicates the necessary
relationship between the racial issue and the expressions of the Brazilian social matter; the centrality of the research in social relations and resistence to survive a undocumented life.

De la filiation face aux nouvelles techniques de procréation au regard de la Convention Internationale des droits de l'enfant / About the filiation face to new Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) with regard to the Convention on the rights of the childGuillat-Demonchy, Danièle 03 February 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse de caractère pluridisciplinaire traite des progrès de la biologie de la reproduction dans le domaine de l’infertilité face à la Convention internationale des droits de l’enfant (CIDE) des Nation-unies. La première partie montre que, en France, il y a conciliation entre l’intérêt supérieur de l’enfant et l’assistance médicale à la procréation, encadrée par le triptyque des lois de bioéthique de 1994. La deuxième partie traite des dérives de ces techniques pratiquées à des fins sociétales et non médicales. Des parents intentionnels désireux d’un « enfant à tout prix », puisque la loi n° 2013-404 du 17 mai 2013 ouvrant le mariage aux couples de même sexe n’a pas « ouvert » le droit à l’accès de ces techniques de reproduction assistée, se rendent au cours d’un « tourisme procréatif » dans un pays où la maternité de substitution ou gestation pour autrui (GPA) est licite et ont un enfant grâce à une mère de substitution, qui assure la gestation de l’embryon, puis du foetus via une fécondation in vitro. Mais lors du retour en France de l’enfant, eu égard aux articles 16-7 et 16-9 du code civil, se pose le problème de la filiation de l’enfant sans compter sur les risques de la maternité de substitution, d’où l’incompatibilité des techniques de reproduction assistée à des fins sociétales avec la Convention internationale des droits de l’enfant, l’adage latin "mater semper certa est" étant la garantie de l’intérêt supérieur de l’enfant. / This thesis has a plurisdisciplinary approach and deals with the improvements of biology of reproduction in the field of infertility regarding the International Convention on the Rights of the Child of the United Nations (ICRCUN). The first part shows, that in France, there is conciliation between the best interests of the child and the medical assistance to procreation, legalised by the triptych of the bioethics law of 1994. The second part deals with the drifts of those practices used for societal ends and not medical. Intended parents willing to have “a child at all costs”, as the law n° 2013-404 of May 17, 2013 allowing the marriage to couples of the same sex has not “allowed” the right to have access to thoses technics of assisted reproduction, do “procreative tourism” and go to a country in which the surrogate maternity or gestational surrogacy (GS) is legal and have a child thanks to surrogate mother who ensures the gestation of the embryo, and the foetus through an in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, back to France, according to articles 16-7 and 16-9 of the Civil Code, the issue of the filiation of the child arises, without counting on the risks of the surrogate maternity, hence the incompatibility of the methods of assisted reproduction to societal purposes with the International on Rights of the child, the Latin proverb "mater semper certa est" being the guarantee of the best interest of the child.

Green RelationshipImad, Fadel 01 May 2014 (has links)
Green Relationship is a design solution attempting to raise awareness toward the environment and reduce consumerism. Waste generation and pollution have become major concerns of many governments, municipalities, organizations and individuals around the world since they are affecting human wellbeing and the environment. As an MFA student with VCUQatar, I chose to use design to contribute in protecting the environment hoping to make a difference in life. The thesis includes a research and a design component. The research explores the recycling programs and facilities in Qatar, the governmental and private sector actions toward waste generation and collection, as well as precedent solutions applied around the world. Furthermore, it includes a survey on recycling to gather and analyze the community’s feed back in order to come up with a solution that aims to change people’s behavior toward waste generation and to promote green lifestyle. The design component defines the Green Relationship as the personal connection between the individual and the silent partner, “the environment.” It fulfills the basic survival needs, “food and water,” and the one and only independency need, “oxygen.” The elements of the Green Relationship are the projection of the generic relationships elements we know of through the theory of “Humimicing” that I introduce in my thesis. Humimicing is the design theory that mimics human innate attributes and behaviors to develop design concepts to be applied in different industries. Every element of the Green Relationship is visualized through a different design discipline similar to its nature. Therefore, interactive, product and critical designs are the mediums used to represent Green Communication, Care and Ethics respectively through public installation, experimentation and conceptual design definition. The thesis methodology, which is “Make it Personal,” concludes in creating the Green Relationship that aims to change the behavior of individuals and ultimately to reach out to the wider community. Under the maxim, “Green is not just a color; it is a Lifestyle,” the thesis promotes the use of design to inspire people, designers and manufacturers to consume less and generate less waste in order to save natural resources and the environment.
