A disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) acomete uma relativa parcela da população e seus sinais e sintomas podem afetar as atividades rotineiras do indivíduo, com o potencial de gerar transtornos tanto aos serviços de saúde devido ao aumento na demanda quanto à economia devido aos dias perdidos de trabalho por incapacidade temporária do trabalhador. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a influência da dor e dos ruídos articulares na qualidade de vida de indivíduos com DTM. Oitenta indivíduos foram triados no Serviço de Oclusão e Disfunção da Articulação Temporomandibular da Faculdade de Odontologia de Ribeirão Preto - Universidade de São Paulo (SODAT/FORP-USP). Os sujeitos incluídos na pesquisa foram submetidos ao exame clínico do eixo I do Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC/TMD), posteriormente, a severidade da disfunção foi determinada pelo Índice Craniomandibular (ICM) e os sons articulares foram avaliados através da eletrovibratografia (EVG), através do sistema SonoPAK (BioReserch). O impacto na qualidade de vida dos pacientes foi avaliado através do questionário OHIP-14 e o custo financeiro através do questionário específico. Durante o diagnóstico, maior numero de pacientes (43.75%) apresentaram desordens de disco associadas à desordens musculares, e um índice craniomandibular de 0.519 ± 0.175, com 62,5% dos sujeitos classificados em DTM moderada. Os ruídos articulares foram analisados durante a abertura e fechamento mandibular. Durante a abertura mandibular foram observadas diferenças estatísticas entre os lados esquerdo e direito, no total integral dos ruídos (56.78 ± 107.65 e 35.89 ± 82.28 no lado esquerdo e direito, respectivamente e p = 0.012), no pico de amplitude (3.71 ± 7.73 no lado esquerdo e 2.42 ± 5.19 no lado direito, p=0.013) e no pico de frequência (71.31 ± 70.41 no lado esquerdo e 52.09 ± 45.35 no lado direito, p=0.011). O fechamento mandibular apresentou diferenças estatísticas entre o lado esquerdo e direito, no total integral dos ruídos (35.77 ± 66.87 no lado esquerdo e 22.10 ± 50.39 no lado direito, p = 0.004), pico de amplitude (2.71 ± 3.49 e 1.97 ± 2.69, lado esquerdo e direito, respectivamente, e p = 0.017) e pico de frequência (47.99 ± 52.46 e 39.14 ± 38.02 lado esquerdo e direito, respectivamente, e p = 0.024). Quando analisado apenas uma articulação, esquerda ou direita houve diferença apenas no lado esquerdo, com maior pico de frequência durante a abertura mandibular (p = 0.019). Com relação ao impacto gerado na qualidade vida dos sujeitos com DTM, segundo a correlação de Spearman entre o OHIP=14 (10.64 ± 5.63) e o ICM (0.519 ± 0.175) houve significância estatística p = 0.019. Além disso, 64 pacientes se submeteram a algum tipo de atendimento previamente ao inicio da pesquisa, 48 deles perderam acima de 30 minutos por atendimento e 46 sujeitos (57.5%) fizeram uso de algum tipo de medicação para dor, sendo que 20 deles recebiam os medicamentos do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Pode-se concluir que as disfunções temporomandibulares interferem na qualidade e no custo de vida de indivíduos com DTM. / The temporomandibular disorder (TMD) affects the relative share of the population and its symptoms can affect daily activities of the individual, with the potential to generate both disorders to health services due to increased demand as the economy due to lost days of work temporary disability of the employee. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of pain and joint sounds in quality of life of individuals with TMD. Eighty individuals were selected in Service Occlusion and Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, College of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto - University of São Paulo (SODAT / FORP-USP). The subjects included in the study underwent clinical examination Axis I of the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC / TMD), subsequently the severity of dysfunction was determined by Craniomandibular Index (CMI) and the joint sounds were evaluated by electrovibratography through the system SonoPAK (BioReserch). The impact on quality of life was evaluated using the OHIP-14 questionnaire and the financial cost through specific questionnaire. During the diagnosis, the greater number of patients (43.75%) had disc disorders associated with muscular disorders, and a craniomandibular index of 0519 ± 0175, with 62.5% of subjects classified as moderate TMD. The joint noises were analyzed during jaw opening and closing. During the opening mandibular statistical differences were observed between the left and right sides, the total integral noise (107.65 ± 56.78 and 35.89 ± 82.28 in the left and right side, respectively, p = 0.012), peak amplitude (3.71 ± 7.73 on the left and 2.42 ± 5.19 on the right side, p = 0.013) and peak frequency (71.31 ± 70.41 and 52.09 on the left side on the right side ± 45.35, p = 0.011). The closing mandibular showed statistical differences between the left and right, total integral noise (35.77 ± 66.87 to 22.10 ± left side and right side in 50.39, p = 0.004), peak amplitude (2.71 ± 1.97 ± 2.69 and 3:49, left and right side, respectively, p = 0.017) and peak frequency (47.99 ± 52.46 and 39.14 ± 38.02 left and right side, respectively, p = 0.024). When analyzed only one joint, left or right difference on the left side only, with higher peak frequency during the opening symptoms (p = 0.019). With respect to the impact generated on quality of life subjects with TMD, according to the Spearman correlation between the OHIP-14 (10.64 ± 5.63) and ICM (0519 ± 0175) was statistically significant at p = 0.019. In addition, 64 patients underwent some type of care previous to the onset of the study, 48 of them lost over 30 minutes for care and 46 subjects (57.5%) had used some type of pain medication, and 20 of them received the medicines of the Unified Health System. One can conclude that temporomandibular disorders affect quality of life and cost of TMD patients.

This study commences with an overview of the concept “quality of life” as perceived from a developmental point of view. The study focuses on the current measures of the improvements in quality of life which operate at different measurement levels. Most of the measures are economic in nature like household income and income per capita, gross domestic product (GDP) and Gross national product (GNP) (Todaro, 1997). Other quantitative measures considered by the current study include measures of wealth particularly the Living standards measurement (LSM) by the South African advertising and research foundation (SAARF), Consumer confidence index (CCI), Index of economic well-being and the Human Development index (HDI) among others (Hagerty et al., 2001). A household-based measure using nominal level data, the LSM in particular tracks improvements in household wealth (as opposed to household income) through changes in household possession of durable items. Subjective measures of quality of life and changes in life satisfaction are looked at by the current study, including studies by Erikson (1993), Moller (1987, 1996, 1997) and, the wellbeing measures by Diener and Suh (1997) amongst others. Quality of life however, is not just about money as economics might have it portrayed. It is not just about how individuals feel because, according to Diener and Suh (1997), feelings are in most cases a response to external influences. Quality of life is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon which needs to be viewed holistically. As a result this study embarked on developing a measure of quality of life (a quality of life index) using household data pertaining to socio-economic aspects. The level of measurement for the data is ordinal. Operatinalised at household level, the measure was intended to analyse changes in household quality of life (QOL) between 1996 and 1999. Data for October household surveys for the period 1999-1996 was used in the study. The analysis focused on changes in household access to selected indicators of quality of life. The study applied cluster analysis to group households accessing similar QOL indicators into QOL groups. Identifying the indicator or indicators which differentiate the QOL conditions among QOL groups was achieved through the use of discriminant function analysis. The entire array of QOL groups or clusters from a particular set of data (OHS 1996-OHS1999) constituted the QOL index. The main findings of this study are that broadly, there has been an improvement in household quality of life (QOL), basing on the developed measure of quality of life. This is revealed by an increase in the number of clusters of households or QOL groups from five in 1996 to eight in 1999. The study attributes the increase in QOL groups to an increase in households’ ability to access the selected QOL indicators. In spite of the increase in the number of QOL clusters, the study finds that proportionally fewer households are found in the QOL groups with better material living conditions (i.e. measurable QOL) than otherwise. This is contrary to the expected pattern in development terms based on empirical evidence in South Africa (see SAARF, 2002; SAARF, 2004; Stats SA, 1996; Stats SA, 2001; Stats SA, 2004). The study also finds that female headed households are generally predominant in groups with poor QOL. Discriminant function analysis results highlight access to toilet, refuse disposal services and water source as discriminant indicators in addition to Highest level of education completed by a household head and, Employment status of household head, among others. The latter consistently differentiate between groups of households throughout the reference period except in 1999. Findings relating to the influence of household material conditions on perceived quality of life show that proportionately more households in groups with the better access to the selected QOL indicators being satisfied with life than otherwise. A point worthy noting is the consistency in the proportions of households which felt that things had not changed after all, irrespective of the groups’ ranks, throughout the reference period. The key conclusion drawn from these findings is that low levels of education and employment status among household heads strongly influence household quality of life. These two indicators have been found to consistently differentiate the QOL conditions among the QOL groups that emerged. Groups on the poor side of the QOL index are characterized by high unemployment, illiteracy and dysfunctional levels of education for most household heads therein. Most households belonging to the poorest QOL groups are rural-based (found in Eastern Cape, Limpopo, Kwazulu Natal and Mpumalanga), with poor access to basic services identified under discriminant function analysis. The situation is likely to be complicated by the existence of substantial proportions of households headed by people aged 15-19 identified in this study. This needs to be taken seriously particularly in the current era of the HIV/AIDS pandemic (see HSRC, 2002; Rosa, 2003). The study’s findings have revealed that poor QOL among households is not related to the sex of the household head. Although female headed households are predominant in groups of households with poor QOL conditions, adjacent to such groups are households in groups with almost equally poor living conditions the majority of which are males-headed. What is needed therefore is a holistic focus on the factors that impede households’ ability to sustain better living conditions. Most of the study’s recommendations reinforce initiatives which are being undertaken in the development agenda. For instance the need to improve people’s level of education does not need any more emphasis given the study’s results. Sustaining improved household QOL will require households to have a capability of meeting their needs. Successful completion of education – tertiary as opposed to functional literacy- opens channels for households to lead a better life. Achieving this level of education requires time, which from a demographic point of view, most of the currently uneducated household heads may not have. While much has been done in enabling households to access basic services like housing, electricity and water, payment for such services remains the responsibility of individual households. Inability to pay for services – due to unemployment and lack of education-will just perpetuate household dependency on social grants. It is also recommended that in-depth qualitative studies be undertaken to establish the apparent consistent gap between objective living conditions and subjective life satisfaction among households if realistic policy objectives are to be achieved. The study recommends a further application of the formulated QOL index particularly on current data with similar indicators. A more rigorous thinking around the weighting of individual QOL indicators will iron out the inconsistencies observed in the study’s results. This will provide an opportunity to standardise the indicators, update the results of the QOL index while enhancing triangulation at the same time. / Thesis (DPhil(Sociology))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Sociology / DPhil / unrestricted

O objeto central desta dissertação foi o Movimento do Custo de Vida (MCV), também conhecido como Movimento Contra a Carestia (MCC), que pode ser considerado um dos maiores movimentos populares que emergiram, em São Paulo, no contexto das lutas pela redemocratização brasileira. Buscamos compreendê-lo como um movimento que teve sua hegemonia disputada por grupos que estiveram presentes com diferentes graus de influência ao longo de toda sua trajetória; contestando, assim, análises anteriores que identificaram uma apropriação do movimento por grupos externos a ele após 1978. Esta hipótese nos levou a estender o recorte temporal até então pesquisado, optando pelo intervalo 1973-1982 que, ao nosso ver, reflete também uma certa configuração comum de respostas possíveis à crise econômica vivenciada após o período do milagre. Utilizamos como fontes desta pesquisa extensa documentação produzida pelo MCV e entidades de apoio (panfletos; material de divulgação; boletins; revistas; quadrinhos; pesquisas de preço e opinião; cartas às autoridades); pela imprensa e, ainda, o material elaborado (mensagens; relatos de agentes infiltrados em reuniões e assembleias; informes; avaliações; dossiês) por agentes do Departamento Estadual de Ordem Política e Social de São Paulo (DEOPS-SP), juntamente com declarações oficiais de representantes que compunham o governo autoritário. Além da origem, composição e trajetória do MCV, este trabalho investigou também o imaginário construído por ele em sua documentação, bem como aquele que o Estado construiu a respeito do movimento. Entendemos que estas imagens orientaram as ações de cada um dos lados em uma relação marcada pela postura tríplice do Estado: entre a negação, a negociação e a repressão. / The present study focused on the Cost of Living Movement (Movimento do Custo de Vida: MCV) also known as Movement Against Famine (Movimento Contra a Carestia: MCC) considered one of the most representative popular movements to have emerged in Sao Paulo when the struggle for the democratization of Brazil was taking place. We attempted to understand the movements hegemony as being disputed within its own groups, whereas previous analyses have identified an ownership of the movement by external groups to it after the year of 1978. This hypothesis led us to extend the timeline that had been considered in preceding studies, as we made the choice to analyze the period from 1973 to 1982, thus, interpreting the movement also as one of the many responses to the economical crisis experienced in the rear of the Brazilian Miracle. The research sources include the vast documentation produced by the MCV and its supporting entities such as pamphlets, dissemination material, newsletters, magazines, comic books, pricing researches and opinion polls, and letters addressed to the authorities. We also considered documentation produced by the press and by agents from the DEOPS-SP (State Department of Political and Social Order, an important division of the military regime), which include messages, general meeting records made by undercover agents, evaluations and dossiers, altogether with official reports from members of the military government. This research investigated not only MCVs origins, membership and history but also the imaginary conceived by the movement about itself through its documenting, as well as the Governments perception about it, as we understand those images served as guidelines for the relationship between them, characterized by the States denial, negotiation and repression.

La recherche se propose d’introduire en sciences de gestion le concept de cherté de la vie du point de vue des consommateurs. Pour ce faire, la recherche propose, dans un premier temps, de définir le concept de cherté de la vie tel qu’évalué par les consommateurs et d’en identifier son contenu. Dans un second temps, la recherche pose la question des antécédents de cette évaluation et de ses conséquences sur le comportement d’achat des consommateurs.La démarche empirique s’appuie sur une Mixed Methods Research. Il s’agit là d’une méthode de recherche qui implique de combiner à la fois les éléments d’une approche quantitative et d’une approche qualitative à des fins de compréhension et de corroboration. Dans cette optique, deux principales études empiriques ont été réalisées : (1) une étude exploratoire qualitative composée de plusieurs méthodes de collecte de données (entretiens semi directifs, netnographie, sondage en sortie de supermarché) et (2) une étude quantitative confirmatoire menée auprès de 700 résidents de l’île de La Réunion.L’étude qualitative permet (1) de déterminer les causes de cette cherté de la vie du point de vue des consommateurs, (2) de définir l’évaluation de la cherté de la vie et de structurer son contenu et (3) d’analyser les conséquences de cette évaluation sur le comportement d’achat des consommateurs. A la lumière de ces premiers résultats et de la revue de la littérature, une série d’hypothèses ainsi que le modèle de la recherche qui en découle sont alors formulés. Hypothèses et modèle testés lors de la phase quantitative.L’étude quantitative permet quant à elle (1) de valider un instrument de mesure de l’évaluation de la cherté de la vie, (2) de mettre en évidence l’influence de l’évaluation de la cherté de la vie sur les comportements d’achat des consommateurs, et (3) de souligner le rôle modérateur de la préoccupation du maintien du pouvoir d’achat (PPA). La recherche a comme principaux apports la conceptualisation de la cherté de la vie du point de vue des consommateurs et la mise en exergue des conséquences de cette évaluation sur les habitudes de consommation des individus. Les résultats permettent ainsi d’alimenter la réflexion sur la nécessité, pour les managers, de tenir compte de / The research proposes to introduce the concept of high cost-of-living from customers’ point of view into managementscience. In order to do this, the research first proposes to define the concept of high cost of from customers’ point of viewand to identify its content. Secondly, the research focuses on the antecedents of the concept and its consequences onconsumers' purchasing behavior.The empirical approach is based on a Mixed Methods Research. This is a research method that involves combining boththe elements of a quantitative and qualitative approach in order to understand the high cost-of-living from customers’point of view. Two main empirical studies have been carried out: (1) a qualitative exploratory study composed of severalmethods of data collection (semi-directive interviews, netnography, survey at the exit of a supermarket) and (2) aquantitative confirmatory study with a sample of 700 residents of Réunion Island.The qualitative study allows (1) to determine the causes of this high cost-of-living from customers’ point of view, (2) todefine the concept and to structure its content and (3) to analyze the consequences of this evaluation on consumerpurchasing behavior. From the results of the qualitative study and the literature review, a series of assumptions and themodel of research are formulated. The assumptions and the model are tested during the quantitative study.The quantitative study allows (1) to validate a measuring instrument of evaluation of the high cost-of-living, (2) todetermine the influence of this evaluation on consumer buying behavior, and (3) to emphasize the moderating role ofPPA.The main contributions of this research are the conceptualization of the high cost of living from customers’ point of viewand the description of the consequences of this evaluation on consumer.

Porém, como se fará sentir, as análises não estão localizadas apenas na organização familiar dita higiênica (a constituída pelo casamento), elas estenderam-se e procuraram estabelecer uma circularidade com a formada a partir do amasiamento; assim sendo, no bojo de seu eixo central [casamento, amasiamento, família e separação] tornou-se imprescindível a compreensão de um mundo adjutório como bens, provisões, custo de vida no início do século XX, vizinhança, investigação de paternidade, temáticas que ajudaram a dar sentido ao que se procurou categorizar como Territorialidade dos sentimentos e das junções políticas familiares , ou seja, a de que o mundo do lar é repleto de intrigas, tensões e interesses e que por isso não se pode entendê-lo no singular, porquanto procura unir um conjunto de pessoas extremamente diferentes entre si. De tal sorte, o trabalho agrega a percepção de que o social familiar, surgido pelo casamento ou amasiamento, não trata de modelos de discursos neutros, mas que produz recorrentemente práticas e estratagemas que tendem a impor-se com uma autoridade tal que busca envolver todos os que se encontram próximos na tentativa de chegar a um projeto sólido de escolhas e condutas familiares. Por isso esta investigação coloca-se nos domínios das relações de poder elaboradas pelas pessoas que ajudavam a constituir as lutas sociais, econômicas e culturais que os grupos impunham ou tentavam impor diante das formas de se ordenar e reordenar os membros de uma família. Então os conflitos, afrontamentos e delimitações que envolveram os indivíduos julgaram-se como tônicas possíveis a compreender-se a construção do mundo social de pessoas como a senhora Joana Pinheiro do Vale e seu marido, Edgar dos Santos Vale, estas e tantas outras que demarcam os esquemas que permitem concluir ser a ordem familiar completamente postulada na multiplicidade elaborada por aqueles que a constituem
