"Aguentando o tranco” : etnografia com catadoras/es de materiais recicláveisRibeiro, Izaque Machado January 2011 (has links)
Cette étude utilise la méthode ethnographique pour décrire le quotidien des groupes des femmes collecteurs des matériels recyclables d'une ville du secteur métropolitain de Porto Alegre. En partant de la question sur comme les relations de genre et de travail sont configurées, la recherche a été développé à trois endroits où les collecteurs étaient : la rue, le hangar de recyclage et les ateliers de formation. En commençant de cet itinéraire, la relation est discutée avec le noyau du Mouvement national des Collecteurs de Matériels Recyclables, les difficultés trouvées dans la recherche et les particularités d'un chercheur masculin pour développer la recherche remarquablement dans un contexte féminin. Il est cherché pour comprendre, aussi, la voie comme les femmes collecteurs travaillent leurs corps pendant des moments différents, aussi bien que les hiérarchies existantes dans le travail et les espaces de travail où les relations de genre n'obéissent pas à une logique capable de naturaliser la division sexuelle du travail. Finalement, on concluit que les manières de travail des collecteurs sont liées à la manière comment les relations de genre sont configurées et à la manière comment les femmes collecteurs travaillent leurs corps dans les diverses contextes, ce qui envoie à un état progressivement precaire du travail féminin. / Este estudo utiliza o método etnográfico para descrever o cotidiano de grupos de catadoras/es de materiais recicláveis de uma cidade da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre. Partindo da questão de como se configuram as relações de gênero e de trabalho, o trabalho de campo foi desenvolvido em três locais onde as/os catadoras se faziam presentes: a rua, o galpão de reciclagem e as oficinas de formação. A partir deste itinerário, discute-se a relação com um núcleo do Movimento Nacional dos Catadores de Materiais Recicláveis, as dificuldades encontradas na pesquisa e as peculiaridades de um pesquisador do sexo masculino desenvolver a pesquisa em um contexto marcadamente feminino. Busca-se compreender, também, a maneira como as/os catadoras lidam com seu corpo em diferentes momentos, assim como as hierarquias existentes no trabalho e os espaços de trabalho onde as relações de gênero não obedecem a uma lógica naturalizante da divisão sexual do trabalho. Por fim, conclui-se que os modos de trabalhar das/os catadoras/es estão ligados a maneira como se configuram as relações de gênero e a maneira como as/os catadoras/es lidam com seus corpos nos diversos contextos, o que remete a uma precarização do trabalho feminino. / This study uses the ethnographic method to describe the daily events of groups that collect recyclable materials from a town in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. Starting with the question of how gender relations in the workplace are configured, the study was conducted at three sites where the groups were present: the street, the recycling centers and workshops. From this itinerary, we discuss the relationship of the core of the National Movement of Collectors of Recyclable Materials, the difficulties encountered in the research and the peculiarities of a male researcher developing a research in a context markedly feminine. We also seek to understand the way the collectors deal with their bodies at different times, as well as the existing hierarchies in the workplace and working environments where gender relations do not obey the logic of sexual division in the workplace.

IMPRESA, LAVORO E FINALITA' SOCIALI: LA SOCIETA' BENEFIT / Business, profit and social purposes: the Italian "società benefit"SAVOLDI, CAMILLA 27 May 2020 (has links)
La presente tesi è stata dedicata all’analisi della disciplina italiana della società benefit, introdotta con la legge del 28 dicembre 2015, n. 208.
Lo studio parte da una preliminare analisi comparata finalizzata alla ricerca di tendenze uniformi di sviluppo, nel panorama europeo e statunitense, della regolamentazione della c.d. social enterprise, intesa come l’impresa connotata da un’ibridazione tra scopo di lucro e caratteri di socialità. La società benefit italiana sembra collocarsi in questo contesto come una social enterprise “all’americana” trattandosi di un’impresa in cui l’ibridazione tra lucro e socialità è totalmente slegata dal divieto di distribuzione degli utili.
L’analisi della disciplina della società benefit, che costituisce il fulcro dell’attività di ricerca, ha riguardato in primo luogo l’inquadramento giuridico, sia in termini di effettiva necessità della sua introduzione sia in termini di distinzione della stessa rispetto alle società “non benefit”. La tesi sostenuta in questa trattazione è che la società benefit colma una lacuna presente nell’ordinamento e si contrappone alle società lucrative ordinarie in una più che ragionevole divisione dei ruoli, essendo dotata di caratteristiche le conferiscono una precisa identità.
In secondo luogo, la tesi è stata dedicata ad affrontare i principali problemi interpretativi posti dalla disciplina analizzata, mantenendo come punto centrale della ricerca il tema dell’effettiva corrispondenza tra l’oggetto sociale dichiarato rispetto all’attività concretamente realizzata dalla società - tema che nelle società benefit diviene cruciale per valutare l’effettivo valore della nuova disciplina e delle iniziative sottostanti - e vagliando la compatibilità degli strumenti di controllo offerti dal diritto societario con le specifiche caratteristiche della società benefit. / This thesis has been dedicated to the analysis of the Italian “società benefit”, introduced with the Law no. 208 of 28th December 2015.
The study starts from a preliminary comparative analysis aimed at researching uniform trends - in the European and US panorama - in the development of social enterprises’ regulation, i.e. those corporate enterprise forms characterized by hybridization between profit and "sociality" features. The Italian “società benefit” seems to place in this context as an “American” form of social enterprise, as the hybridization between profit and sociality is completely disconnetted from any non-distribution constraint.
The analysis of the discipline of the “società benefit”, which constitutes the fulcrum of the research activity, has concerned primarily the legal framework, both in terms of the actual need for its introduction and in terms of distinction of the same with respect to the companies "not-benefit”. The thesis supported in this dissertation is that the “società benefit” fills a gap in the legal system and opposes ordinary lucrative companies in a more than reasonable division of roles, being equipped with features that give it a precise identity in the legal system.
Secondly, the thesis has been dedicated to addressing the main interpretative problems emerged by the analyzed discipline, keeping as the central point of research the theme of the actual correspondence between the social object declared with respect to the activity concretely carried out by the company - a theme that in the “società benefit” becomes crucial for assessing the effective value of the new discipline and the underlying initiatives - and assessing the compatibility of the control instruments offered by company law with the specific characteristics of the “società benefit”.

B Corp Certification - A strategic step towards sustainability?Ferré Cerdà, Laura, Viana Neves, Olivia, Nawej, Jimo Léandre, Carlsson, Marielle January 2020 (has links)
The global socio-ecological system is under stress with increasing consumer demands and society’s inability to meet those demands. Businesses are both enablers and inhibitors of this socio-ecological dilemma, enabling a shift towards sustainability, in various ways including through Certification. This study aims to understand the B Corp Certification (BCC) – a certification that certifies business according to their social and environmental performance. The purpose of this study is to gage how much this Certification granted by B Lab moves the dial on sustainability. To accomplish this, a case study was performed on B Lab with a focus on Developed Markets. This study was largely dependent on semi-structured interviews, desk research and an analysis of the B Impact Assessment (BIA) - a cornerstone of the BCC - which was assessed according to the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD). The FSSD which takes a scientific systems view on strategic sustainable development (SSD) was instrumental in analyzing how much the BCC aligns with a SSD approach. The result of this research lends itself to recommendations for the B Corp Certification of which B Lab may choose to consider in future iterations of the BIA and Certification in general.

Ideological Misinformation: How News Corp Australia amplifies the discourses of the reactionary rightGallagher, Dean January 2019 (has links)
This paper analyses the interactions between Australian mainstream media and social media political influencers and how these interactions amplify ideological misinformation. Social media, particularly YouTube, is increasingly a primary source of news and information for people, principally in the younger 18 – 35-year demographic. Yet while social media has opened up horizontal networks of mass self-communication that allow anyone with an internet to communicate on a mass scale, it has also precipitated a significant rise in the dissemination of reactionary right and extremist messages. The analysis is embedded in Manuel Castells network society theory and utilising Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis framework and José van Dijck’s combination of the Network Society theory with Actor Network Theory. By analysing the discourses employed by News Corp around notions of “identity politics” “western civilisation” and “the left”, this paper argues that the discourses of News Corp Australia are largely the same as the Alternative Influence Network (AIN) on YouTube – a loosely connected group of reactionary right-wing influencers. It further analyses the way News Corp reports on these influencers, concluding that the intertwining discursive patterns of both News Corp and the AIN have the effect of discriminating against a range of minority groups due to its centring of white, western identity as default. News Corp produces and amplifies ideological misinformation through both power and counterpower communication networks. This is concerning considering News Corp’s prominence and influence in the Australian media landscape. Finally, it argues that the ideological misinformation amplified by News Corp Australia is contributing to a new ideological paradigm that combines populist nationalism with neoliberalism.

Impact of Strategic Communication on Fan Loyalty: A Case Study of Karmine Corp in EsportChalvin, Augustin January 2024 (has links)
This thesis studies the communication of the "Karmine Corp" through its social networks. The Karmine Corp, or KCORP, is a French esports team founded in 2020 and based in Paris, France. Founded by streamers, it is now the most popular team in France and one of the best-known in Europe. The team's history of success has made it popular on social networks. The comparison between esports (digital competition) and 'classic' sports is also discussed, with arguments put forward by researchers from all sides, enabling us to reflect on the future place or not of esports in sporting competitions. The central theme of this thesis is the analysis of the team's communication and its influence on the current and future evolution of the esports industry. The team's modern communication strategy, based on the fans' satisfaction and loyalty, differs from anything done before in this field, and it can explain the team's popularity. By analyzing the team's social network evolution and specific key posts by doing a netnography, comparing the media evolution of the players before and after they joined the club, and surveying committed fans, this study provides a wealth of data that demonstrates the revolution that KCORP is bringing to the world of esports and the impact of a committed community on a field who need credit to exist.

抗戰時期中國國民黨的幹部訓練:以中央訓練團為中心的探討(1938~1945)馮啟宏, Feng, Eric C.H. Unknown Date (has links)
「中央訓練團」成立於民國二十八年,直到民國三十六年抗戰勝利後才宣告結束,其除了在重慶浮圖關設置總團部外,新疆、蘭州、武漢等地亦設有分團。而在中央訓練團成立的整整快十年期間,共開辦了三十幾個訓練班及軍官總隊,這其中除了較為人熟知的「台灣行政人員訓練班」,尚有縣政幹部、新聞幹部、音樂幹部、留日學生、人事、衛生、檔案、交通、譯電及史政人員訓練班,此外還有替「三民主義青年團」代訓的「青年幹部訓練班」,社會部主辦的「社會人員訓練班」等等。不過,中央訓練團所創立的訓練班中,最重要的莫過於舉辦過三十一期的「黨政工作人員訓練班」及非常受到外界矚目,被視為仕途終南捷徑、取得“天子門生”資格的「高級黨政人員訓練班」。據統計,整個抗戰時期受過中央訓練團重慶總團部及各地分團訓練的幹部員額,就高達十萬多人。但非常令人感到詫異的是,受訓人數如此地多、又號稱戰時國民黨專門培養其“骨幹核心份子”“中堅幹部”的中央訓練團,至今居然沒有一篇論文及專著作過相關的研究。事實上,不僅「中央訓練團」這類國民黨用來訓練幹部的機構長期為人所忽視,甚至連國民黨─標榜“以黨領政”、“訓政”中國長達二十年之政黨─的「幹部政策」包括幹部來源、培養途徑、銓選考核方式等等主題,都很少有學者作過深入探討。這對整個抗戰史或國民黨黨史的研究,無疑是個重大缺憾。因此,透過「中央訓練團」來探討戰時國民黨如何在「救亡圖存」的危局中訓練幹部,並藉由比較、評估其成效來一窺國民黨的幹部政策,正是撰寫本論文的主要動機及目的所在。

Regulation of cholesterol intake by the corpus luteumMiranda, Leonor 04 1900 (has links)
Studies were funded by Colegio de Postgraduados, México. CONACyT, México. SRE, México. Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec, University of Montreal and an Operating Grant to B.D. Murphy from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. / Résumé
L’approvisionnement en cholestérol est un facteur limitant la stéroïdogenèse ovarienne. Pour cette raison, la majorité du cholestérol requis pour la synthèse des stéroïdes est importé de la circulation via les récepteurs des lipoprotéines de haute (HDL) et de basse densité (LDL) nommés scavenger receptor (SR-BI) et low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr). L’ARN messager de SR-BI est exprimé dans les ovaires de porcs durant toutes les étapes de la folliculogenèse ainsi que dans le corps jaune (CL). L’expression de la protéine SR-BI a également été détectée dans les follicules de souris lors du cycle œstral. Chez les deux espèces, l’expression est concentrée dans le cytoplasme et en périphérie des cellules du follicule. Les gonadotrophines induisent l'expression de SR-BI dans les cellules de la granulosa porcines, avec une expression cytoplasmique qui augmente durant la période périovulatoire, et avec une migration aux périphéries cellulaires durant la maturation du CL. Une conformation de 82 kDa de SR-BI est fortement exprimée dans le CL porcin, avec une conformation moins abondante de 57 kDa. Les différences entre les conformations sont attribuables à la glycosylation. La culture in vitro de follicules porcins avec des gonatrophines chorioniques humaines (hCG) a induit une hausse de régulation dépendante du temps du SR-BI de 82 kDa dans les cellules du granulosa. SR-BI et LDLr ont été exprimés réciproquement, avec LDLr étant le plus élévé dans les cellules folliculaires du granulosa et diminuant précipitamment avec la formation du CL. Pour explorer plus en détail les mécanismes d’approvisionnement en cholestérol de la stéroïdogenèse ovarienne, nous avons examiné des souris soumis à un traitement de désaccouplement de l'ovulation, et des souris portant la mutation nulle du gène Scarb1 (SR-BI-/-). Les résultats ont démontré que des ovocytes enfermés dans des structures lutéinisées expriment SR-BI. Les souris SR-BI-/ - présentaient de petits CLs, et de large follicules avec des cellules de thèque hypertrophiées et des kystes folliculaires avec des cavités remplies de sang et une diminution de 50% du niveau de progestérone dans le sérum. Les souris SR-BI-/ - traitées avec une combinaison de 20 g / g de mevinoline et 100 g / g de chloroquine ont démontré une diminution de 43% du niveau de progestérone sérique chez le type sauvage et de 30% chez les souris SR-BI-/ -. L’expression protéique de l’enzyme limitant pour la synthèse du cholestérol, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR), a augmenté chez les souris SR-BI-/-. Nous avons présenté des preuves démontrant que les cellules des follicules expriment le SR-BI durant la stéroïdogenèse et que la lutéinisation augmente l’expression de SR-BI. La maturation post-transcriptionelle est caractérisée par la glycosylation. Sous des conditions normales, l’expression de LDLr est arrêtée durant la lutéinisation. Ainsi SR-BI devient le facteur principal pour l’importation du cholestérol extracellulaire. En plus, la perturbation extracellulaire du cholestérol synthétisé de novo et l’absorption par les LDLr chez les souris SR-BI-/- diminuent la fonction lutéal. L’homéostasie du cholestérol ovarien est très importante pour une lutéinisation adéquate et sa perturbation mène à une réduction, mais non à un blocage complet, de la fonction lutéal. En conclusion, l’expression de SR-BI est un facteur important, mais non essentiel, pour maintenir l’homéostasie du cholestérol ovarien et la synthèse des stéroïdes, et la lutéinisation. Un réseau de mécanismes complémentaires et compensatoires d’approvisionnement en cholestérol agit en concert pour assurer la synthèse des stéroïdes ovariens. / Abstract
Ovarian cholesterol supply is rate limiting to ovarian steroidogenesis. For this reason, the majority of cholesterol required for steroid synthesis is imported via scavenger receptor-BI (SR-BI) and the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor from circulating HDL and LDL. SR-BI mRNA is expressed in pig ovaries at all stages of folliculogenesis and in the corpus luteum (CL). SR-BI protein expression in mouse ovary during estrous cycle was also detected. In both species, expression is concentrated in cytoplasm and periphery of follicular cells. Gonadotropins induce SR-BI expression in pig granulosa cells, with cytoplasmic expression increasing through the periovulatory period, with migration to the cell periphery as the CL matured. An 82-kDa form of SR-BI is strongly expressed in the pig CL, with the less abundant 57-kDa form, differences between forms are attributable to glycosylation. In vitro culture of pig follicles with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) induced time-dependent upregulation of 82-kDa SR-BI in granulosa cells. SR-BI and LDL receptor were reciprocally expressed, with the latter highest in follicular granulosa cells, declining precipitously with CL formation. To further explore mechanisms of cholesterol supply to ovarian steroidogenesis, we examined mice treated to uncouple ovulation and mice bearing null mutation of the Scarb1 gene (SR-BI-/-). Results show entrapped oocytes in luteinized structures expressed SR-BI. SR-BI-/- mice displayed small corpora lutea, large follicles with theca cells hypertrophied, follicular cysts with blood filled cavities and 50% decreased in plasma progesterone. In SR-BI-/- mice, treatment with a combination of 20 g/g of mevinolin and 100 g/g of chloroquine (CHLORO) was employed to disturbed cholesterol sources. Serum progesterone was reduced by 43% in wild type and 30% in SR-BI-/- mice. The protein expression of the rate-limiting enzyme for cholesterol synthesis, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) increased in SR-BI-/- mice. It was concluded that follicular cells express SR-BI during follicle development and luteinization causes upregulation of SR-BI expression. Posttranslational maturation is characterized by glycosylation. Under normal conditions expression of the LDLr (low density lipoprotein recepors) is extinguished during luteinization such that SR-BI becomes the principal means of importation of extracellular cholesterol. Further, perturbation of cholesterol de novo synthesis and uptake from LDLr in SR-BI-/- mice leads to a reduction of luteal function. Ovarian cholesterol homeostasis is central to adequate luteinization, and its perturbation leads to reduction, but not to complete impairment, of luteal function. We conclude that SR-BI expression is an important but not essential factor in maintaining ovarian cholesterol homeostasis, steroid synthesis and luteinization. A network of complementary and compensatory cholesterol supply mechanisms act in concert to assure ovarian steroid synthesis.

My Organization Wants Me to Do What? The Effect of Implementing the B-Corp Certification on Employee Pro-Environmental BehaviorBalla, Dorottya, Runesson, Tom January 2019 (has links)
In today’s society, environmental concern might be at a historical peak. 2778 companies in 60 countries have now acquired the Benefit-Corporation (B-Corp) Certification in attempts to demonstrate their environmental responsibility. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of implementing the B-Corp Certification in a USA automotive dealership on employee pro-environmental behavior and life satisfaction, with consideration of the moderating role of commitment to the B-Corp Certification. A within-group quasi-experimental design was used to investigate the effects of the certification over a 5-month period through self-reported measures. Thirty-three employees participated in this study. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA was conducted to measure differences in employee pro-environmental behavior before and after the implementation of the B-Corp Certification. Through bivariate correlations the relationship between employee pro-environmental behavior and life satisfaction was analyzed. Partial correlation was used to test the moderating role of commitment in determining the strength of the implementation on employee pro-environmental behavior. There was no difference between pre- and post-measurements of employee pro-environmental behavior. Commitment to the B-Corp Certification did not moderate the effectiveness of the implementation of the B-Corp Certification on employee pro-environmental behavior. Additionally, no relationship was found between pro-environmental behavior and life satisfaction. Finally, results are discussed within the context of industrial- and organizational(IO) psychology, as are the implications for future research and interventions aimed at increasingemployee pro-environmental behaviors.
