No contexto da saÃde o meio ambiente passou a ter importÃncia a partir de novas reflexÃes sobre os conceitos de saÃde e de ambiente Por algum tempo a saÃde era vista sob a Ãtica da doenÃa com uma noÃÃo predominantemente biolÃgica o ambiente pelo seu aspecto biofÃsico Essa dissertaÃÃo surge a partir da compreensÃo do conceito de saÃde no contexto atual e refletindo sobre a interface com o ambiente para a promoÃÃo da saÃde no cotidiano dos Agentes ComunitÃrios de SaÃde (ACS) em Equipes da EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia (ESF) Portanto esta pesquisa objetivou compreender sob a Ãtica dos ACS as implicaÃÃes que a relaÃÃo saÃde e ambiente promovem na sua prÃtica profissional no MunicÃpio de Juazeiro do Norte Cariri cearense Conduzimos a pesquisa com o estudo do tipo exploratÃrio com abordagem qualitativa A pesquisa foi realizada no MunicÃpio de Juazeiro do Norte CE no perÃodo de setembro de 2012 a fevereiro de 2013 tendo como sujeitos os ACS das duas Equipes da ESF do Bairro Parque AntÃnio Vieira selecionadas a partir da aplicaÃÃo de um roteiro de escolha Para a coleta de dados utilizamos um formulÃrio sÃcio demogrÃfico e em seguida a entrevista semiestruturada Para complemento outro procedimento utilizado foi o de observaÃÃo participante a qual aconteceu a partir de visitas periÃdicas ao campo de atuaÃÃo dos ACS com a construÃÃo do diÃrio de campo Para a anÃlise do material coletado utilizamos o mÃtodo da anÃlise de discurso A partir da anÃlise realizada do discurso contido nas falas dos ACS e observaÃÃo participante do local do estudo concluÃmos que se faz necessÃrio no cenÃrio de atuaÃÃo dos ACS uma articulaÃÃo mais efetiva da interface saÃde e ambiente com foco na visÃo positiva da saÃde Ou seja conduzir as aÃÃes dos ACS para a promoÃÃo da qualidade de vida da populaÃÃo procurando desfocar o que à evidente em seus discursos hoje a doenÃa Portanto se faz necessÃrio nesse contexto o fortalecimento de PolÃticas PÃblicas voltadas para a educaÃÃo permanente dos profissionais que atuam nessas equipes da ESF ACS abordando a interface saÃde e ambiente bem como que favoreÃam a intersetorialidade e a atuaÃÃo profissional voltadas para a qualidade de vida da populaÃÃo trazendo para o eixo norteador da reflexÃo aqui apresentada a importÃncia entre o saber e o agir cotidiano dos ACS Com os resultados dessa pesquisa pretendemos contribuir para o fortalecimento das aÃÃes intersetoriais envolvendo as temÃticas saÃde e ambiente tornando mais evidente a importÃncia desta relaÃÃo para a promoÃÃo da saÃde e assim efetivamente fortalecer a qualidade de vida da populaÃÃo por eles assistida / In the context of health the environment now has importance from new reflections on the concepts of health and environment For awhile health was seen from the perspective of the disease with a predominantly biological sense the biophysical environment by their appearance This thesis comes from an understanding of the concept of health in the current context and reflecting on the interface with the environment to health promotion in daily Community Health Agents (CHA) teams in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) Therefore this research aimed to understand the perspective of the ACS the implications of the relationship between health and the environment promote their professional practice in the city of Juazeiro do Norte Cearà Cariri We conduct research with an exploratory study with a qualitative approach The survey was conducted in the city of Juazeiro do Norte CE from September 2012 to February 2013 having as subject the ACS of the two teams FHS Barrio Parque Antonio Vieira selected from the application of a script of choice To collect data we used a form socio demographic and then the semi structured interview For addition another procedure was used participant observation which happened from regular visits to the field of action of ACS with the construction of a field journal To analyze the collected data we use the method of discourse analysis From the analysis of the speech contained in the reports of the ACS and participant observation study site we conclude that it is necessary in the setting of ACS performance of a joint interface more effective health and environment focusing on positive view of health Ie drive the actions of ACS for the promotion of quality of life looking blur which is evident in his speeches today the disease Therefore it is necessary in this context the strengthening of public policies aimed at continuing education for professionals working in these teams FHS ACS interface addressing health and environment as well as to promote intersectoral and professional practice focused on quality of life population bringing to the guiding principle of reflection presented here the importance between knowing and acting of the ACS routine With the results of this study aim to contribute to the strengthening of intersectoral actions involving health and environmental issues making it clear the importance of this relationship to health promotion and thus effectively strengthen the quality of life they assisted

Foi realizado um estudo descritivo, onde foram coletadas amostras de água em 12 pontos pré determinados, nos meses de outubro de 2004 e janeiro, abril, julho e outubro de 2005. Em cada amostra coletada procedeu-se à identificação de enterobactérias e parasitos potencialmente patogênicos de interesse humano. Na análise estatística, procedeu-se ao cálculo de freqüências absolutas e relativas dos dados obtidos. Realizou-se também o levantamento do funcionamento dos sistemas de informações em saúde ao nível local e regional para determinados agravos e, a partir dos dados encontrados, esboçaram-se algumas ações em saúde. Das 48 amostras estudadas, em 100% foi identificada a presença das bactérias Escherichia coli, Proteus, Salmonella e uma enterobactéria não identificada. Cabe salientar que Escherichia coli foi identificada em número superior a 1.000/100 ml de água; as amostras positivas para parasitos foram 17 (35,4%); oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. encontrados em 2 amostras(4,2%); a ameba de vida livre, gênero Acanthamoeba, em 12 amostras (25%); e a ameba de vida livre, gênero Naegleria, em 3 amostras (6,3%). Nos pontos de coleta observou-se forte presença de atividade humana ou eliminação de dejetos. A análise dos sistemas de informações em saúde revelou a falta de vigilância ambiental dirigida ao objeto de estudo. Diversas ações com vistas a contribuir com o manejo da situação e a reduzir o possível agravo foram propostas, tais como: monitoramento dos pontos de coleta; instalação de sistema sentinela; ações educativas integradas; implementação da pesquisa; participação multidisciplinar e interinstitucional. Concluiu-se que a água do entorno da cidade estudada apresenta níveis significativos de enterobactérias e de parasitos potencialmente danosos para a população, tornando necessária a implementação de políticas e medidas para controlar esta situação. / This study had the purpose to identify the presence of pathogenic microorganisms from the group Coliforme, and other microorganisms and human potentially pathogenic parasites existing in the boarding waters of the city of Rio Grande-RS and to elaborate a proposal of intervention in the Vigilance of the environment health’s sphere. A descriptive study has been done where the water is collected in 12 predeterminated spots during the months of October/2004 and January, April, July and October/2005. In each collected sample an identification of enterobactéria and potentially pathogenic parasites of human interest was proceeded. In the statistic analysis, a calculation of the absolute and relative frequencies from the obtained data was made. Also a research of the work of the health local and regional information for determinated damage and some actions in heath were sketched from the obtained data. Forty eight samples were studied, 100% presented the presence of Escherichia coli, Proteus, Salmonella bacterium and non-identified enterobactéria, it’s good to set off that Escherichia coli was identified in number superior than 1000/100ml of water. The positive samples were 17(35,4%) for parasites. Oocistos of Cryptosporidium spp were found in 2 samples (4,2%), the free life Ameba, genus Acanthamoeba in 12 samples(25%) and the free life Ameba, genus Naegleria in 3 samples (6,3%). In the collecting spots was found strong presence of human activity and/or elimination of garbage. The analyses of the health information system revealed the lack of environment vigilance directed to the object of study. Several actions in order to contribute with the manage of the situation and reduce the possible damage were proposed, such as: watch the collect spots;installation of a sentinel system; integrated educative actions; encourage the research; multidiscipline participation. The conclusion is that the boarding water of the studied city presents significant level of enterobactéria and parasites potentially damaging for the population, tuning to necessary the implantation of measures to control this situation. / Este estudio tuvo, por objetivo, Identificar la presencia de los microrganismos patógenos del grupo coliforme, y de otros microrganismos y parasitos humanos potencialmente patógenos existentes en las aguas que marginan la ciudad de Rio Grande – Rs, bien como elaboración de una propuesta de intervención en la esfera de la vigilancia en salud ambiental.

This exploratory research is based on an objectivist epistemology with a positivist theoretical perspective that deployed concurrent mixed methods (MMR) design through a quantitative administered survey alongside an in-depth qualitative analysis through interviews exploring the perspectives of leaders on EHS leadership and governance. The research literature review focused on EHS leadership, corporate governance and strongly related topics. This MMR research employed both an expert panel-validated survey and a semi-structured interview protocol which explored 9 themes which emerged from the literature review including EHS/Safety Leadership; Risk Management; Influence and Accountability. Due to pragmatics relating to the number of leaders accessed (N=30) the statistical analysis is limited to descriptive type statistics. Almost all respondents supported the monitoring role of the Board of Directors (BoD), but disagreed that the BoD should play an active role in risk management. Comparisons are drawn between the Oil and Gas and non-Oil and Gas organizations with interesting results especially in matters relating to risk management. Structured thematic content analysis yields that Safety Culture; Leadership; Influence and Accountability were the three leading themes accounting for just over 50% of the responses analysed. Many sub-themes have also emerged and are discussed. A Model of EHS Leadership and Governance was created and is presented which positions themes and factors that influence monitoring of EHS performance and ultimately risk management. The research can be considered as a unique contribution as a relatively small body of currently published work in this subject area, both globally and more so in the GCC.

Die gebaute Umwelt spielt eine entscheidende Rolle in unserem täglichen Leben und beeinflusst maßgeblich unser Wohlbefinden, insbesondere im Kontext von Krankenhäusern und Pflegeeinrichtungen. Dies wird in aktuellen Forschungserkenntnissen verdeutlicht. Ziel ist das Entwerfen von nutzerzentrierten und zukunftsfähigen Gebäuden, die den Anforderungen des medizinischen und technologischen Fortschritts sowie den gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen gerecht werden. Das ARCH4HEALTH Student Research Lab ist eine regelmäßige Serie von Lehrveranstaltungen an der Professur für Sozial- und Gesundheitsbauten. Die Studierenden widmen sich aktuellen Fragestellungen zu einem semesterbegleitenden Thema. Im Sommersemester 2023 fokussierten sich die studentischen Forschungsprojekte auf den Themenschwerpunkt „Psyche & Raum”. Dabei sollten innovative Ideen und Lösungsansätze für die Schnittstelle zwischen der gebauten Umwelt und dem Wohlbefinden der Nutzer:innen entwickelt werden. [... aus dem Text]

Cette étude se place dans le contexte des maladies infectieuses émergentes maintenant reconnues comme une menace majeure de la biodiversité. Engendrant un taux de mortalité atteignant 95 %, les épidémies à virus Ebola ayant affecté les populations de gorilles de plaine de l'Ouest (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) conduisirent à la classification de ce taxon comme " En danger critique d'extinction ". Cette étude s'intéresse aux capacités de récupération de ses populations. Grâce à des données uniques d'observation en phase pré- et post-épidémique, nous avons évalué l'impact de l'épidémie sur la structure et la dynamique sociale d'une population et estimé son potentiel de récupération au cours des six ans qui ont suivi. Nos résultats de démographie et de dynamique, couplés à des approches statistique et de modélisation démographique détaillée au niveau des classes d'âge et de sexe, et intégrant l'immigration, nous ont permis de mettre en évidence 1) un impact délétère sur le potentiel reproducteur, du fait de l'organisation sociale du gorille ; 2) les atouts de la flexibilité et de l'organisation sociale dans la récupération de la structure de la population ; 3) le rôle de l'immigration pour la récupération à long-terme des effectifs. La mise en évidence de caractéristiques structurelles typiques d'une population affectée par Ebola nous a permis de montrer qu'une population voisine étudiée était indemne. Ceci met en évidence l'impact hétérogène des épidémies au niveau régional, induisant probablement un certain degré de fragmentation des populations. Ce nouvel élément permet de discuter les hypothèses d'émergence et de propagation du virus, et pose la question de l'impact de la fragmentation de la population sur sa dynamique globale et sur la récupération des populations locales affectées. Nos résultats suggèrent une faible résilience des populations de gorilles de plaine face à Ebola et la menace de ce virus pour la persistance des populations. Cependant, une meilleure connaissance du potentiel de flux d'individus au niveau régional et le développement de modèles démographiques prenant en compte cette dimension permettrait de mieux préciser cette résilience.

Uppsatsen syftar till att bidra med mer kunskap om könsdiskriminering och sexuella trakasserier riktade mot kvinnliga fastighetsmäklare i Sverige. Frågor som besvaras är: Hur uppfattar fastighetsmäklarna organisationskulturen på sina arbetsplatser? Förekommer könsdiskriminering och sexuella trakasserier i branschen? I så fall, i vilken omfattning och hur ges det i uttryck? Studien genomförs med hjälp av en kvantitativ metod i form av en webbenkät, besvarad av kvinnliga fastighetsmäklare i Sverige. Resultatet visar att fastighetsmäklarna anses ha en kultur på arbetsplatsen som tillåter samtal om arbetsmiljö, men däremot är det mindre än hälften av dem som känner till om arbetsplatsen har ett tillvägagångssätt för hantering av bristande arbetsmiljöhälsa. Studien visar också att könsdiskriminering och sexuella trakasserier förekommer i fastighetsmäklarbranschen mot kvinnliga fastighetsmäklare. Undersökningen visar att den som diskriminerar och/eller trakasserar är en chef, kollega/branschkollega och/eller kund/spekulant. Handlingen ges i uttryck både verbalt och fysiskt. / The purpose of this study is to contribute with more knowledge about gender discrimination and sexual harassment directet towards real estate agents in Sweden. Questions answered are: How do real estate agents perceive the organizational culture at their workplace? Does gender discrimination and sexual harassment occur in the industry? If so, to what extent, and how is it expressed? The study is based on a quantitative method, using an internet based questionnaire, answered by female real estate agents in Sweden. The results of the study show that the real estate agents are considered to have a culture in the workplace that allows conversations about the work environment, but on the other hand, less than half of them know whether the workplace has an approach for handling poor work environment health. The study also shows that gender discrimination and sexual harassment occur in the real estate industry against female real estate agents. It is shown that the person who discriminates/harasses is a manager, colleague/colleague in the industry and/or customer/speculator. The action can be expressed both verbally and physically.

Text in English / This study sought to evaluate the implementation of an HIV and AIDS workplace policy at Sappi-Ngodwana mill. Employing process evaluation, and adopting a qualitative approach, the study evaluated the intervention process, the perceptions of the policy implementers, the strengths and weaknesses of the policy implementation, and suggests possible strategies for addressing the challenges. A systems approach was the theoretical point of departure and guiding framework of the research study. Research data was gathered through in-depth interviews with key informants and theory-driven and data-driven inductive reasoning was adopted in analysing the data. The general findings were that although the Sappi-Ngodwana mill implements a comprehensive HIV and AIDS programme that are in line with national and international benchmarks, there were challenges identified. Recommendations are that the company redesign the HIV and AIDS policy implementation plan with a specific focus on improving the peer educators` system. / Sociology / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)

Du fait de changements environnementaux multifactoriels (pression anthropique, climat...), la répartition des vecteurs et des maladies qu'ils transmettent se modifie. La fièvre catarrhale ovine (FCO), arbovirose des ruminants s'étant récemment propagée dans le bassin méditerranéen, constitue un modèle pertinent pour étudier les conditions d'installation d'un vecteur exotique dans un nouvel environnement. Nous proposons ici d'utiliser la télédétection et l'analyse paysagère pour caractériser l'environnement favorable à la FCO et à son principal vecteur, Culicoides imicola, à une échelle locale, en Corse. Pour cela, l'environnement en lien avec les traits de vie du vecteur a été caractérisé au voisinage d'élevages sains ou infectés (approche maladie) et de sites de piégeages où le vecteur est présent ou absent (approche vecteur), en testant trois tailles de voisinage, à partir d'un modèle numérique de terrain, du réseau hydrographique et d'une image à haute résolution spatiale issue du satellite SPOT. La classification de l'image a permis de produire une carte d'occupation du sol à partir de laquelle des indicateurs paysagers reflétant la structure spatiale et la composition de la végétation ont été extraits. Les modèles liant environnement et présence/absence de la maladie ou du vecteur ont été validés en interne et en externe. Les résultats ont confirmé que les milieux favorables au vecteur et à la maladie pouvaient être caractérisés par des facteurs environnementaux autres que climatiques et ont mis en évidence l'importance des indicateurs paysagers aux trois échelles de voisinage. Ils ont montré que les milieux favorables présentaient une diversité et une fragmentation importante. La latitude, pouvant refléter la proximité à la Sardaigne, est également identifiée comme étant une variable liée au risque de présence du vecteur et de la maladie. La plupart des modèles ont présenté une capacité de discrimination élevée rendant possible leur utilisation à des fins de prédictions en Corse et sur d'autres territoires. Ils pourraient notamment servir à cibler les actions de surveillance sur le littoral continental français. Parmi les perspectives de travail, peuvent être envisagées l'application d'une démarche similaire sur les autres espèces de Culicoides impliqués dans la transmission de la FCO, l'intégration de paramètres climatiques, la recherche de nouveaux paramètres issus de données de télédétection et la conception de modèles dynamiques de capacité vectorielle.
