This thesis examines the history and development of the first "semi-official" face-to-face meetings between members of the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church since the Reformation. The series of meetings were held at Malines, Belgium, under the presidency of Cardinal Mercier, and extended from 1921-1925. The initiative for these meetings came from private individuals, principally from Lord Halifax (2nd Viscount) on the Anglican side, and Abbe Fernand Portal, a French Roman Catholic priest. By involving Cardinal Mercier in these "private conversations", the participants succeeded in obtaining a guarded measure of authorization from the leadership of both Churches, from Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, and from Pope Pius XI. When news of these Conversations at Malines eventually became public, it occasioned considerable negative reaction both from Evangelical Anglicans and the more ultramontane English Roman Catholics. The Evangelicals objected that the Anglican participants at these meetings were principally Anglo-Catholics and not representative of the whole Anglican Church, and the Roman Catholics objected to the fact that the meetings were being held on the Continent, and that English Roman Catholics had been excluded from the group of participants. The theological movements and historical conditions of the times militated against the success of these meetings, both in terms of arriving at a common and acceptable theological meeting point, and also in terms of the growing difference in organizational structures of both Churches. It was principally the enthusiasm and vision of Halifax, Portal and Mercier for preparing the groundwork of a united Christendom which provided the momentum for continued meetings. The Malines meetings in themselves did not result in any major ecumenical advance in their own time, but in several substantial ways they have initiated and contributed important elements in methodology and content to the present ecumenical work of the ARCIC Commission and in Anglican/Roman Catholic relations.

Ela afeta os níveis superiores de funcionamento cognitivo e é caracterizada por múltiplos déficits que comprometem o funcionamento mental e social do indivíduo. A DA não altera apenas as estruturas neurológicas, mas os processos cognitivos, a linguagem, a interação e a organização das práticas sociais cotidianas. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar, a partir de uma perspectiva sócio-cognitiva, a linguagem em interação na DA. Uma abordagem interacionista e sócio-cognitiva da linguagem na DA contribui na identificação e na compreensão da complexidade de aspectos que estão em jogo na constituição (e na perda) da cognição humana, como as nossas diversas práticas cotidianas de linguagem, o papel dos interlocutores, as identidades dos sujeitos, as instâncias interativas, as rotinas sociais, a indexicalidade dessas práticas e as inter-relações entre os níveis lingüísticos. A investigação da linguagem nos quadros de DA baseia-se num corpus de conversações entre sujeitos diagnosticados como portadores de DA (sujeitos dpDA) e distintos interlocutores, médicos, familiares e próximos coletadas em ambientes institucionais e não-institucionais em contextos naturais de ocorrência. Dois fenômenos serão destacados para análise. O primeiro deles refere-se à maneira como se organizam essas conversações, destacando o papel dos interlocutores nos dois ambientes institucionais e familiares e as implicações sócio-lingüísticas do diagnóstico de provável portador de Alzheimer. Num segundo momento, serão analisadas as ocorrências de repetições nessas interações. As repetições na linguagem dos sujeitos dpDA são produções lingüísticas que servem de base para a produção de hipóteses sobre as limitações ou produções lingüísticas decorrentes do declínio cognitivo e mnêmico. Fora das instâncias interativas nas quais são produzidas, elas são entendidas em termos de excesso (como produções automáticas, ecolálicas ou perseverativas), ou em termos de falta (das capacidades mnêmicas). O estudo das ocorrências de repetições na linguagem dos sujeitos dpDA é motivado pela hipótese de que há certas especificidades dessas formas verbais nessas interações. A expectativa é que a descrição das ocorrências de repetição nas interações possa contribuir para a compreensão do fenômeno da repetição nas neurodegenerescências, conjugando os seguintes aspectos em torno do tema: a repetição como capacidade lingüístico-cognitiva; as funções da repetição na linguagem em uso dos sujeitos com Alzheimer; as naturezas patológica, funcional e heterogênea das repetições na linguagem das pessoas com Alzheimer e o caráter degenerativo e progressivo da perda sócio-cognitiva na DA / Abstract: Alzheimer¿s disease (AD) is clinically defined as a degenerative cerebral pathology, whose cause is not known. It affects the superior levels of cognitive functioning and is characterized by multiple deficits that compromise the mental and social functioning of the individual. AD does not alter only the neurological structures, but also the cognitive processes, language, interaction and the organization of every social practice. The objective is to investigate, from the socio-cognitive perspective, the language in interaction in AD. An interactionist and socio-cognitive approach of the language in AD contributes to the identification and understanding of the complexity of aspects that are in the constitution (and in the loss) of human cognition such as our diverse everyday language practices, role of speakers, identity of subjects, interactive instances, social routines, the significance of those practices and the interrelations between linguistic levels. The investigation of languages in the AD state is based on corpus of conversations between probable dementia of Alzheimer type participants and distinct speakers, doctors, relatives and close friends united in institutional and non-institutional environments in natural contexts of occurrence. Two phenomena stick out for analysis. The first refers to the form how the conversations are organized, highlighting the role of participants in both institutional environments, relatives and the socio-linguistic implications of the diagnosis of the probable carrier of Alzheimer¿s. In another moment, the occurrences repetition in those interactions will be analyzed. The repetitions in the AD subjects¿ language are linguistic productions that serve as a base for the production of hypotheses about the limitations or linguistic productions derived from the cognitive and memory decline. Apart from the interactive instances in which they are produced, they are understood in terms of excess (like automatic, echolalic or preservative productions), or in terms of a lack of memory skills. The study of occurrences in language repetition in AD subjects is motivated by the hypothesis that there are certain specificities of those verbal forms in those interactions. The expectation is that the description of the occurrences of repetition in the interactions can contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon of repetition in neurodegenerations, conjugating the following aspects around the theme: the repetition as a cognitive-linguistic approach; the functions of language repetition in Alzheimer¿s subjects; pathologic nature of the language repetition of people with Alzheimer¿s, and the degenerative and progressive character of the socio-cognitive loss in AD. The questions that drive the investigation of language in the AD state and that they should be dealt with in the body of this study are in epistemological-theoretical and methodological and mention about how the relation between language and cognition are conceived and established, to the conception itself that the Alzheimer¿s disease (and the ¿Alzheimer¿s carrier¿ category), to the conception of the cognitive decline and to the forms of investigating and describing the language in these states of cognitive decline / Doutorado / Doutor em Linguística

Os tempos escolares estão relacionados às ações experienciadas no processo pedagógico. Que experiências são relatadas por jovens no IF SUDESTE MG, Campus Juiz de Fora, sobre os tempos escolares? Foi com essa questão que busquei como objetivo conversar com jovens no IF SUDESTE MG, Campus Juiz de Fora, sobre suas experiências com os tempos escolares. Utilizei como metodologia de pesquisa a Investigação Narrativa (CLANDININ; CONNELLY, 2008, 2015), que permitiu caminhos para se pensar, (re)viver as experiências e (re)contar histórias a partir dos relatos de vida (CONNELLY; CLANDININ, 2008; LARROSA, 2004) tecidos nas conversas (LARROSA, 2003; SKLIAR, 2011). Logo, os movimentos da pesquisa consistiram nos relatos de vida de jovens no IF SUDESTE MG, Campus Juiz de Fora, sobre os tempos escolares, produzidos a partir de nossas conversas. Realizei a pesquisa no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência, Tecnologia do Sudeste de Minas Gerais (IF SUDESTE MG), Campus Juiz de Fora, com doze jovens dos Cursos Técnicos Integrados ao Ensino Médio de Eletromecânica e Metalurgia, com os quais trabalho diretamente. Em nossas conversas foram relatadas experiências com os tempos escolares, com as juventudes e com o Curso Técnico Integrado ao Ensino Médio, os quais estão entrelaçados aos tempos escolares no IF SUDESTE MG, Campus Juiz de Fora. No estudo dos tempos escolares utilizei, dentre as referências, Arroyo (2011), Correia (1996), Gimeno Sacristán (2008), Parente (2010), Pinto (2001). Na discussão das juventudes menciono os(as) autores(as): Cassab (2011, 2010), Carrano e Dayrell (2013), Dayrell (2003, 2007, 2009, 2017), Pais (1990, 1993, 2009). Na abordagem da Educação Profissional Técnica de Nível Médio e do Curso Técnico Integrado ao Ensino Médio, tive as contribuições de Ciavatta (2012), Frigotto (2001, 2012), Garcia (2013), Ramos (2011, 2012, 2018), Otranto (2010). Pude perceber com a pesquisa que os tempos escolares experienciados por jovens podem ser ressignificados, levando em consideração a articulação dos tempos juvenis com os tempos escolares na perspectiva do skholé (MASSCHELEIN; SIMONS, 2013). A instituição escolar pode fazer a suspensão do tempo para que os(as) jovens tenham tempo livre para estudarem e se apropriarem do conhecimento, numa tentativa de se ter equilíbrio entre tempo cronológico e tempo livre. Skholé é uma forma de experienciar a educação nos tempos escolares, redefinindo os usos dos tempos e criando espaços de tempo livre no cotidiano escolar. / In this thesis, entitled “Conversations with youngsters about the school days in the SUDESTE MG, Campus Juiz de Fora”, developed in the Graduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, the school times were addressed that were experienced by young people in the FI SUDESTE MG, Juiz de Fora Campus. School times are related to the actions experienced in the pedagogical process. Which experiences are reported by young people in the SUDESTE MG MG, Campus Juiz de Fora, about school times? It was seeking a response to this question that I talked with young students of this school institution having as focus their experiences with school times. It was used as research the Narrative Research methodology (CLANDININ; CONNELLY, 2008, 2015), that has allowed ways to think, (re) living the experiences and (re) telling stories from the life stories (CONNELLY; CLANDININ, 2008; LARROSA, 2004) woven in conversations (LARROSA, 2003; SKLIAR, 2011). Therefore, the movements of the research were based on the life reports of these young students on the school times that were produced from our conversation. The research was carried out at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of the Southeast of Minas Gerais (IF SUDESTE MG), Campus Juiz de Fora, with twelve youngsters from the Technical Courses Integrated to the High School of Electromechanics and Metallurgy. In those conversations were reported experiences with school times, with youths and with the Integrated Technical Course for Secondary Education, which are intertwined with the school times of this institution. In the study of the school times were used, among the references, Arroyo (2011), Correia (1996), Gimeno Sacristán (2008), Parente (2010), Pinto (2001). In the youth discussion, were mentioned these authors: Cassab (2011, 2010), Carrano e Dayrell (2013), Dayrell (2003, 2007, 2009, 2017), Pais (1990, 1993, 2009). In the approach of the Technical Professional Education of Medium Level and the Integrated Technical Course to High School, the contributions of Ciavatta (2012), Frigotto (2001, 2012), Garcia (2013), Ramos (2011, 2012, 2018), Otranto (2010) were used too. It was possible to perceive that the school times experienced by young people can be re-significated, taking into account the articulation of the youth times with the school times in the perspective of the skholé (MASSCHELEIN; SIMONS, 2013). The school institution may suspend time for young people to have free time to study and appropriate knowledge in an attempt to have a balance between chronological time and free time. Skholé is a way of experiencing education in school times, redefining the uses of the times and creating free time spaces in everyday school life.

Within the parameters of the development, since the 1970s, of the National Teacher Appraisal Scheme, and the current changes in Education, a research programme of observation, video-recording and analysis of teaching performance is described and evaluated. The aim was to ascertain, by means of specific techniques, the value and benefits to teachers in developing their personal and professional levels of experience on the path to becoming self-organised learners. The potential of two specific methods of appraising teachers' classroom performance to generate developmental Learning Conversations is examined and compared. Using video-recordings of their lessons, two groups of ten teachers in one secondary school, individually reflected, discussed and evaluated their own performance with the researcher, by using either conversational repertory grid or conversational rating scale techniques, as the basis for an extended focused Learning Conversation. A third group of ten teachers was intended as a control group. The immediate and longer term developmental effects on the individual teachers, and on the school, were examined as the research activities gradually evolved from an original positivist experimental research paradigm to a conversational action research paradigm. Parallel to the account of the changes and developments in the research project, the impact of the research journey on the personal and professional development of the researcher is also related.

Syftet med denna studie har varit att söka finna ett samband mellan dialogsystem designade enligt designmönstret Gameplay Integrated Conversations och meningsfullt spelande. Två prototyper har skapats där den ena haft stöd för tidigare nämnda designmönster och den andra inte. Dessa testades på två grupper om fem personer som återgav sina upplevelser genom ett frågeformulär. Resultaten visade att gruppen som spelade prototypen med Gameplay Integrated Conversations inte upplevde de unika egenskaper som det medförde. Dessutom visade undersökningen att gruppen utan stöd för designmönstret upplevde mer meningsfullt spelande. För att kunna klargöra sambandet mer tydligt behövs dels en studie med fler respondenter genomföras och dels en studie där fler gränssnitt för dialogsystemen jämförs.

The goal of the thesis is to analyse the current condition of technical facilities in order to plan expansion of production. Next goal is to analyse the motivation of workers to accept changes. The theoretical part defines coaching, force of habit and method GROW, which is used in coaching. In the practical part there are coaching interviews with chosen employees of the chosen company. On the basis of interviews it is shown how to remove potential barriers that hinder the smooth implementation of changes, and recommendations for introduction of changes are suggested.

Forum Conversations is an organisational theatre method for helping individuals to deal with their difficult conversations in the workplace. It uses professional actors to simulate participants’ ‘difficult others’ and to play out confrontational conversations from participants’ own experience. This study adds to the empirical base of research into organisational theatre. It further conceptualises organisational theatre methods as reflective or refractive. This qualitative, interpretive study examines the perspectives of both participants and actors through a dramatistic lens and also assesses if and how the Forum Conversations method has affected changes in behaviour and approach in the ways individual participants communicate with others in the workplace. In this assessment a novel, methodological approach based on attributions made by participants was used to make comparisons between individuals’ pre- and post- Forum Conversations views about their difficult conversations. Outcomes included improvements in confidence and awareness but also of agency in participants’ dealings with others. The interaction between actors and participants is discussed in terms of a partial dialogism that dwells in the moment of exchange between interactants. From the actors’ side the study highlights the subtly layered reflexivity of the actors in process and also of their tendency to accentuate performance skills. In this context, the interaction is seen to compare with the way professional actors might use rehearsal to prepare for theatre performance. Overall, it is concluded that Forum Conversations is a powerful learning method that enables participants to embody their learning experience and leads to sustained individual change that occasionally includes personal transformation both at work and at home.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and spread knowledge about how preschool teachers use spontaneous discussion as a means of increasing the environmental consciousness of children. The methods used are semi-structured interviews, and continuous and structured observation. The results show that spontaneous conversations as a method for increasing children’s consciousness of the environment occurs in practice, to a varying degree. In particular, meals and outings are perceived as the best occasions to introduce such discussions. Moreover, conversations tend to take place when children help with waste separation, handling and consumption of materials, and during planning for other activities. Large groups of children, staff shortage, and administrative tasks are perceived as the most limiting factors for having conversations about the environment. The topic can also be perceived as too wide and complex. The teachers express lacking knowledge and ideas for keeping the children interested. However, in spite of the limited time and knowledge, and other subjects in the curriculum needing attention, the teachers feel that there is room for improvement; their own disposition about the subject is limiting the spontaneous conversations. Results show that the increasing interest from society in general is enabling more conscious work with environmental issues. / Syftet med studien är att undersöka och skapa kunskap om hur pedagoger i förskolan använder det spontana samtalet för att stimulera barns miljömedvetenhet. Metoderna som använts är semistrukturerade intervjuer samt löpande och strukturerad observation. Fyra förskolor, belägna i en kommun i Mellansverige, deltog i studien. Totalt deltar sex förskollärare och en barnskötare. Resultatet visar att spontana samtal som metod för att stimulera barns miljömedvetenhet förekommer i verksamheten, i större och mindre utsträckning. Måltidssituationer och naturupplevelser upplevs vara de tillfällen där samtal om miljö utnyttjas bäst. Det förekommer även samtal om miljön i samband med sopsortering, hantering och förbrukning av material samt spontana samtal som har sin grund i planerade aktiviteter. Stora barngrupper, personalbrist och administrativa uppgifter upplevs vara orsak till svårigheten att föra spontana samtal om miljön. Samtidigt upplevs samtal om miljön ibland som stort och komplext. Pedagogerna uttrycker behovet av kunskapsbaserad information och idéer, för att fånga barnens intresse för miljöfrågor. Trots tidsbrist, begränsad kunskap och andra läroplansmål upplever pedagogerna att det finns många möjligheter att ha spontana samtal kring miljöfrågor. Deras förhållningssätt påverkar användandet av spontana samtal. Resultatet visar att det ökande intresset för miljön i samhället har resulterat i att förskoleverksamheten arbetar medvetet med miljöfrågor.

Background: The underutilization of formal, facility-based maternal care is a major contributor to the high maternal mortality rates among women living in rural Africa. Increasing the use of formal maternal care requires exploration of important maternal health issues affecting community members and comprehension of how they perceive the use of formal and traditional maternal care. This thesis aimed to identify the key factors, challenges, and needs of rural populations for the uptake of formal maternal care. Paper 1 explored rural women's preferred choices for sources of maternal care as well as the factors that contribute to their preferences in Africa. Paper 2 explored elders' perceptions about reasons for the underutilization of maternal healthcare and maternal death, as well as potential solutions to improve formal care use in rural Nigeria. Methods: 1) In paper 1, a systematic search on Ovid Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and Global Health identified 40 qualitative studies that elicited women's preferences for maternal care in rural Africa. Reviewers collated the findings and reported on patterns identified across findings using the narrative synthesis method. 2) Data were collected through 9 community conversations with 158 elders in 9 rural Nigerian communities. The data were analyzed inductively through thematic analysis. Results: 1) A variety of preferences for formal, traditional and both formal and traditional maternal care during antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum periods were identified. The majority of the studies reported preferences for formal antenatal care or a combination of traditional and formal antenatal care. During intrapartum, rural women held a wide range of preferences, including facility-based births, traditional births in a domestic setting, as well as a combination of formal and traditional care depending on the onset of complications. The majority of the studies reported preferences for traditional postnatal care involving traditional attendants, self-care, and cultural rituals that fend off witchcraft. The factors that contributed to these preferences were related to the perceived need of formal or traditional maternal care, accessibility to formal or traditional care, and cultural and religious norms, beliefs and obligations. 2) The perceived reasons for the underuse of formal maternal care included poor qualities of care, physical and financial inaccessibility of facility-based services, and lack of knowledge and awareness. Reasons for women's maternal deaths included malaria and blood displacement, facility-based service deficiencies, uptake of traditional maternal care, and poor community awareness and negligence. Increased access to high-quality care, health promotion and education, community support and supernatural assistance were the proffered solutions. Conclusions: The major areas that need improvement across rural Africa include human and material resources availability, technical and interpersonal quality of care in health facilities, physical accessibility, financial accessibility, sociocultural accessibility, cultural and religious sensitivity, and community knowledge and awareness. Generally, the findings reflect the need for multifaceted interventions that engage target populations and consider local contexts, realities, and related needs in order to develop locally acceptable interventions. Such interventions will increase the likelihood of effective and long-lasting positive changes in healthcare utilization and maternal mortality.
