A presente tese, constituída por estudo de caso, se inscreve no contexto da questão ambiental que, na atualidade, problematiza a degradação das condições de vida no planeta e as evidências segundo as quais o modelo de crescimento econômico, cuja tendência tem provocado crescente esgotamento e destruição dos recursos naturais e energéticos não-renováveis, é responsável pela perda da biodiversidade e a contaminação dos ecossistemas terrestres. Ao mesmo tempo, favorece uma crise social acentuando as discriminações, as desigualdades socioeconômicas e os processos de exclusão. Estamos vivendo uma crise socioambiental a ser abordada pela reflexão científica e pela revisão dos valores e modelos que inspiram a gestão dos recursos naturais. Os problemas ambientais têm ocupado parte significativa da agenda dos políticos, dos economistas, dos juristas, dos meios de comunicação. Ademais, estão tendo adesão da opinião pública. A cada dia os movimentos ambientalistas se fortalecem e impõem medidas de proteção e de mudanças nos comportamentos em relação aos problemas ambientais, destacando os desafios atuais para alcançarmos um equilíbrio ecológico e uma equidade social. Hoje, a proteção à biodiversidade é uma preocupação. Com esse estudo procuro mostrar como diante das pressões e ameaças advindas do predomínio de formas ambientalmente predatórias de exploração dos recursos naturais, a criação de áreas naturais protegidas está sendo considerada uma estratégia de controle do território, sobretudo por definir limites para o uso e ocupação bem específicos. Mas o estabelecimento, sua existência e gestão têm tido implicações diversas, especialmente para as condições de vida das comunidades circunvizinhas. Este estudo de caso examina o processo de criação da RPPN Serra das Almas, o trabalho desenvolvido na Reserva, as características e repercussões destas atividades nas comunidades localizadas no entorno da área de proteção ambiental. Por meio de uma metodologia qualitativa, exploratória, descritiva e interpretativa, a pesquisa de campo foi direcionada para identificar a percepção da população do entorno acerca da existência da Reserva, e as mudanças decorrentes da implantação de uma área de proteção ambiental. Palavras-chave: Questão Ambiental, Biodiversidade, Bioma Caatinga, Áreas de Proteção Ambiental, Reservas Privadas e Comunidades do Entorno. / La presente tesis, constituida por estudio de caso, se inscribe en el contexto de la cuestión ambiental que en la actualidad problematiza la degradación de las condiciones de vida en el planeta y las evidencias según las cuales el modelo de crecimiento económico, cuya tendencia ha venido provocando un creciente agotamiento y destrucción de los recursos naturales y energéticos no-renovables, es responsable de la pérdida de biodiversidad y de la contaminación de los ecosistemas terrestres. Al mismo tiempo dicho modelo económico favorece una crisis social al acentuar las discriminaciones, las desigualdades socioeconómicas y los procesos de exclusión. La sociedad vive actualmente una crisis socio-ambiental a ser abordada por la reflexión científica y por la revisión de los valores y modelos que inspiran la gestión de los recursos naturales. Los problemas ambientales han venido ocupando parte significativa de la agenda de los políticos, de los economistas, de los juristas, de los medios de comunicación y asimismo, cuentan con la adhesión de la opinión pública. A cada día los movimientos ambientalistas se fortalecen e imponen medidas de protección y de cambios en los comportamientos relacionados a los problemas ambientales, destacando los desafíos actuales que deben vencerse a fin de lograr un equilibrio ecológico y una equidad social. Hoy, la protección a la biodiversidad es una preocupación y a través del presente estudio la autora ha procurado mostrar por qué, ante las presiones y amenazas advenidas del predominio de formas ambientalmente predatorias de explotación de los recursos naturales, la creación de áreas naturales protegidas viene siendo considerada una estrategia de control del territorio, sobre todo porque define una forma de uso y ocupación con límites bien específicos. Sin embargo, el establecimiento, la existencia y la gestión de estas áreas naturales, ha tenido implicaciones diversas en las condiciones de vida de las comunidades circundantes. Este estudio de caso examina el proceso de creación de la RPPN Serra das Almas, el trabajo desarrollado en la Reserva, las características y repercusiones de estas actividades en las comunidades localizadas en el entorno del área de protección ambiental. A través de una metodología cualitativa, exploratoria, descriptiva e interpretativa, la investigación de campo ha sido orientada en el sentido de identificar la percepción de la población del entorno acerca de la existencia de la Reserva, y de los cambios derivados de la implantación de un área de protección ambiental. / This thesis consists by case study, applies in the environmental context issues that in the present, discusses the degradation of the planet’s living conditions and the evidences by which the economic growth model, has caused the growing exhaustion and destruction of natural resources and non-renewable energies, is responsible for the loss of biodiversity and the contamination of terrestrial ecosystems. At the same time, promotes a social crisis emphasizing discrimination, socioeconomic inequalities and exclusion processes. We are living a socio-environmental crisis to be broach by scientific reflection and by revision of values and models that inspire the management of natural resources. Environmental issues have occupied a significant part of the agenda of politicians, economists, lawyers and the media. Moreover, they are having the support of public opinion. Each day, the environmental movements get strengthen and imposes protection actions and also the changing of behavior regarding to environmental issues, highlighting the current challenges to reach an ecological balance and social equity. Today, the protection of biodiversity is a concern. With this study I try to show in front of all pressures and threats from the predominance of environmentally predatory exploration of natural resources, the creation of protected natural areas is considered a strategy of controlling the territory, especially to set limits for the use and a well specific occupation. But the establishment, its existence and management has had several implications, especially for the living conditions of surrounding communities. This case study examines the creating process of the RPPN Serra das Almas, the work developed at the Reserve, the characteristics and repercussions of these activities in the communities located around the area of environmental protection. Through a qualitative methodology, exploratory, descriptive and interpretive, the field research has directed to identify the perception of the surrounding population about the existence of the Reserve, and the changes resulting from an implementation of an environmental protection area.

Background and Problem: CSI is a topic with a limited amount of research despite it being a very relevant issue and that its counter pole CSR is one of today’s most popular subjects to study. In both areas there is a gap in the literature regarding the apparel industry where there CSI can be evident in many different aspects, especially in the production process. In the FMCG market, the demand for apparel that has been produced ethically has increased over the years. Still, the importance that the consumers place on ethical attributes in their purchase decisions is rather unknown. Purpose: The study's purpose is to investigate the young consumers’ emotions towards FMCG apparel corporations in order to see if CSI actions give them a negative attitude. It will further be explored to see if the attitude towards the corporations reflects in their intentional purchase behavior and their actual behavior. This will provide insight to the young consumers’ knowledge and interest for CSI, aiding corporations in their quest for excellence when it comes to consumer relationships. Method: This research is done through a deductive, qualitative research. A literature review is done to create a great understanding to the concepts of CSI, consumer attitudes and planned behavior. Four focus groups are conducted as a base for the empirical findings. Further, these two chapters are compared in an analysis to get an understanding about the young consumers’ attitudes towards corporations acting unethically and the affects it may have on their planned behavior. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the study found clear evidence that the participants have a negative attitude towards corporations’ CSI activities. However, these attitudes did not, as theory suggests, have any effect on the participants’ intended and actual purchasing behavior. Instead it is shown that young consumers base their decisions on contextual factors, where the most significant one is price.

The current economic system began in the mid-twentieth century to present unsustainability signals due to the realization of various externalities that go beyond the destruction and depletion of natural resources. In this scenario, the chemical-industrial activity due to its polluting action and some world level disaster is being questioned and required a new attitude towards the issues surrounding the care and preservation of the environment. In this context, this thesis aimed to investigate how environmental issues - Environmental Problems, Green Chemistry, Sustainable Development and Environmental Education - are being inserted in the course of degree in Chemistry offered by the Federal University of Sergipe on the campus of São Cristóvão. To this end, we sought to identify the concepts, methods and practices adopted by teachers. The Qualitative Research and interpretive served as the theoretical north in order to analyze in depth the research universe. In data collection were used: Documents and interviews analysis of semi-structured screen in the course teachers. In the analysis of the results there have based on the Textual Analysis Discourse. In order to meet the rigors and the internal validity of the research, the triangulation method was used so that the inferences and interpretations of the results guarantee the quality of the research. The diagnosis of curricular analysis was carried out by reference to the criteria proposed by the network Environmentalisation Curricular for Advanced Studies, pointing to an innovative curriculum that seeks to meet the legal requirements, but when broken down into its curriculum components, we see a low structure flexible where environmental issues are poorly covered. Regarding the analysis categories investigated, it is observed by teachers that treatment of environmental problems is limited to the development of their laboratory activities, micro context. An understanding of sustainable development that is widely criticized. And behaviorists views on environmental education. Generally that appear as anthropocentric conceptions, based on a technical-instrumental rationality, where technical solutions are sufficient to enable the current problems. Regarding the Green Chemistry, there are certain ignorance associated with its principles and philosophy, and their ideas framed in the developmental chain or pragmatic macro trend. The data collected both in research as in the references point out that the way they operated, the Green Chemistry is a rationalization instrument that could end up collaborating in maintaining the interests of hegemonic groups. As for the methods and practices have been reported the use of pedagogical interventions that encourage participation and the construction of knowledge by the students, however, is still marked concern about the transmission of disciplinary scientific content. / El sistema económico actual se inició a mediados del siglo XX para presentar señales insostenibilidad debido a la realización de diversas externalidades que van más allá de la destrucción y el agotamiento de los recursos naturales. En este escenario, la actividad química industrial debido a su acción contaminante y algún desastre nivel mundial está siendo cuestionado y requiere una nueva actitud hacia los temas relacionados con el cuidado y la preservación del medio ambiente. En este contexto, esta tesis como objetivo investigar cómo medioambiental temas - Problemas Ambientales, Química Verde, Desarrollo Sostenible y Educación Ambiental - están siendo insertados en el Grado en Química ofrecido por la Universidad Federal de Sergipe en el campus de São Cristóvão. Con este fin, hemos tratado de identificar los conceptos, métodos y prácticas adoptadas por los profesores.La investigación y la interpretación cualitativa sirvieron de norte teórico con el fin de analizar en profundidad el universo de la investigación. En la recolección de datos se utilizaron: Documentos y entrevistas análisis de pantalla semi-estructurado de los profesores del curso. En el análisis de los resultados se han basado en el Análisis de Pruebas Discurso. Con el fin de cumplir con los rigores y la validez interna de la investigación, se utilizó el método de triangulación para que las inferencias e interpretaciones de los resultados avalan la calidad de la investigación. El diagnóstico de análisis curricular se llevó a cabo en función de los criterios propuestos por el Currículo ambientalización red de Estudios Avanzados, que apunta a un plan de estudios innovador que busca cumplir con los requisitos legales, pero cuando se desglosa en sus componentes curriculares, vemos una estructura de bajo donde las cuestiones ambientales flexibles están mal cubiertos. En cuanto a las categorías de análisis investigados, se observa por los profesores que el tratamiento de los problemas ambientales se limita al desarrollo de sus actividades de laboratorio, micro contexto. La comprensión del desarrollo sostenible que es ampliamente criticado. Y conductistas puntos de vista sobre la educación ambiental. En general que aparecerá como concepciones antropocéntricas, con base en una racionalidad técnico-instrumental, donde las soluciones técnicas son suficientes para permitir a los problemas actuales. En cuanto a la Química Verde, hay cierto desconocimiento asociados con sus principios y la filosofía, y sus ideas enmarcadas en la cadena de desarrollo o pragmática tendencia macro. Los datos recogidos tanto en la investigación como en las referencias señalan que la forma en que operan, la Química Verde es un instrumento de racionalización que podría terminar colaborar en el mantenimiento de los intereses de los grupos hegemónicos. En cuanto a los métodos y prácticas se han reportado el uso de intervenciones pedagógicas que fomenten la participación y la construcción del conocimiento por los estudiantes, sin embargo, sigue siendo marcada preocupación por la transmisión de contenidos científicos disciplinaria. / O sistema econômico vigente começou, em meados do século XX, a apresentar sinais de insustentabilidade por conta da constatação de diversas externalidades, que ultrapassam a destruição e o esgotamento dos recursos naturais. Nesse cenário, a atividade químico-industrial, devido à sua ação poluidora e alguns desastres de repercussão mundial, passa a ser questionada e exigida uma nova postura frente às questões que envolvem o cuidado e a preservação do meio ambiente. Nesse contexto, esta Tese teve por objetivo investigar como as questões ambientais – Problemas Ambientais, Química Verde, Desenvolvimento Sustentável e Educação Ambiental– estão sendo inseridas no curso de Licenciatura em Química oferecido pela Universidade Federal de Sergipe no campus de São Cristóvão. Para tal, buscou-se conhecer as concepções, métodos e práticas adotadas pelos professores. A Pesquisa Qualitativa e interpretativa serviu de norte teórico no intuito de analisar em profundidade o universo pesquisado. Na coleta de dados foram utilizados: Análise de Documentos e Entrevistas semiestruturadas com os docentes do curso em tela. Na análise dos resultados, têm-se como base a Análise Textual Discursiva. Com vistas a atender os rigores e à validade interna da pesquisa, o método de triangulação foi utilizado a fim de que as inferências e interpretações dos resultados garantissem a qualidade da investigação empreendida. O diagnóstico da análise curricular foi realizado tomando como referência os critérios propostos pela rede de Ambientalização Curricular de Estudos Superiores, apontando para um currículo inovador, que procura atender às exigências legais, porém quando se desdobram em suas componentes curriculares, vê-se uma estrutura pouco flexível, em que as questões ambientais são pouco contempladas. Em relação às categorias de análise investigadas, observa-se, por parte dos professores, que o tratamento dos problemas ambientais está limitado ao desenvolvimento de suas atividades laboratoriais, contexto micro. Um entendimento de desenvolvimento sustentável que é bastante criticado. E visões comportamentalistas sobre Educação Ambiental que, de modo geral, apresentam-se como concepções antropocêntricas, fundadas em uma racionalidade técnico-instrumental, onde soluções técnicas são suficientes para viabilizar os problemas atuais. Em relação à Química Verde, há certo desconhecimento associado com seus princípios e sua filosofia, sendo suas ideias enquadradas numa corrente desenvolvimentista ou na macrotendência pragmática. Os dados levantados tanto na pesquisa, quanto nas referências apontam que, do modo como é operada, a Química Verde representa um instrumento de racionalização, que pode acabar colaborando na manutenção dos interesses de grupos hegemônicos. Quanto aos métodos e práticas, foram relatadas a utilização de intervenções pedagógicas que estimulam a participação e a construção do conhecimento por parte dos discentes, porém, ainda é marcante a preocupação com a transmissão dos conteúdos científicos disciplinares.

Abstract This study describes the central views of MTK on Finnish environmental policy during the period 1980-2000. The empirical material is collected from the magazine Maataloustuottaja. The data is analyzed using ethnographic content analysis and examining the central arguments and discoursive structures of the texts. The study begins with a description of the development of Finnish agriculture and of MTK. The first chapter also presents and evaluates empirical studies on the environmental views of Finnish farmers. The following chapter discusses some theoretical and methodological issues in environmental sociology. The theoretical foundation of this study is grounded in the idea of ecological modernization and social justice in environmental issues. The essential methodological tension that underpins environmental sociology is between critical realism and social constructivism. The starting point of this research lies between critical realism and moderate constructivism; in other words, naïve realism and strong constructivism or scientism and relativism have been abandoned. This starting point is also closely connected to environmental pragmatism. The empirical part of the study begins with a thematical discussion on changes in the views that MTK has adopted toward environmental policy issues. Although these views have not changed significantly over the years, MTK has shown an increased interest in organic production and in cooperation with consumer and worker organizations to promote "environmentally pure", local food production and the social sustainability of Finnish food production and countryside. The second part of the empirical study reveals some stable discoursive practices in the environmental rhetoric of MTK that has traditionally accentuated the connection between nature and agriculture and the notion of farmers as stewards of nature. At the same time, MTK has emphasized the alienation of urbanites and environmental policy-makers from nature and countryside. MTK has also expressed a concern about private property rights, economic expenses and a variety of practical problems caused by nature conservation and preservation. MTK's attitude towards family farming is contradictory: they are regarded as the models of agriculture, while the scale of production is growing. / Tiivistelmä Tässä tutkimuksessa kuvataan MTK:n ympäristökäsityksiä vuosina 1980-2000. Tutkimusaineistona on käytetty sen julkaiseman "Maataloustuottaja" -lehden ympäristökysymyksiä käsitteleviä kirjoituksia. Aineiston käsittely perustuu etnografiseen sisällönanalyysiin tavoitteena tarkastella MTK:n ympäristöpoliittista argumentaatiota ja etsiä tekstin diskursiivisia rakenteita. Tutkimuksen alussa tarkastellaan MTK:n ja Suomen maatalouden kehitystä sekä viljelijäväestön ympäristökäsityksiä historiallisen ja yhteiskuntatieteellisen tutkimuksen sekä tilastojen valossa. Seuraavassa luvussa tarkastellaan ympäristösosiologian teoreettis-metodologista kysymyksiä ja niihin liittyviä ajankohtaisia kiistoja. Tutkimus rakentuu lähinnä ekologisen modernisaation teorian käsitteistölle täydennettynä ajankohtaisella, ympäristökysymyksiin liittyvän yhteiskunnallisen oikeudenmukaisuuden pohdinnalla. Ympäristösosiologian viimeaikainen metodologinen keskustelu on liittynyt kriittisen realismin ja konstruktionismin välisiin kiistoihin. Tutkimuksessa päädytään naiivin realismin ja radikaalin konstruktivismin hylkäämiseen ja ympäristösosiologisen pragmatismin mahdollisuuksien hahmottamiseen. Empiirisessä osassa tutkitaan aluksi MTK:n ympäristöpoliittisia käsityksiä ja niissä tapahtuneita muutoksia. Vaikka muutokset eivät ole kovin merkittäviä, on joitain merkkejä siitä havaittavissa: kiinnostus luonnonmukaiseen tuotantoon on kasvussa, tuottajien ja kuluttajien kesken on löytymässä yhteistoimintaa "puhtaiden" kotimaisten elintarvikkeiden ja lähituotannon puolesta ja järjestö on sitoutunut kestävän kehityksen periaatteiden toteuttamiseen. Toisessa empiirisen tutkimuksen osiossa etsitään diskursiivisia piirteitä MTK:n retoriikassa. Perinteisesti MTK on nähnyt viljelijät "todellisina luonnonsuojelijoina". Samalla se on katsonut kaupunkilaisten kuten myös ympäristöaktivistien ja -poliitikkojen vieraantuneen luonnosta. Järjestö on huolestunut omaisuudensuojasta, taloudellisista kustannuksista ja erilaisista käytännön ongelmista luonnonsuojelualueiden perustamisen yhteydessä. MTK:n suhtautuu perheviljelmiin ristiriitaisesti: niitä pidetään maatalouden mallina samalla, kun maataloustuotannon yksikkökoko on kasvamassa.

En France, le rapport aux moustiques et les politiques de démoustication présentent des histoires et des caractéristiques différenciées d’un territoire à l’autre. Si dans les DFA les moustiques n'ont jamais cessé d'être des facteurs épidémiques, sur le pourtour méditerranéen en revanche, ils ne constituaient plus de risques sanitaires depuis près d'un demi-siècle. Dans les DFA, les opérations de démoustication ont toujours principalement relevé de politiques sanitaires de Lutte Anti-Vectorielle, tandis qu'en métropole furent mises en place des démoustications de confort visant à réduire la nuisance. Mais, à partir de 2004, la situation évolue suite à l’installation durable du moustique vecteur Aedes albopictus sur le littoral méditerranéen et à l’élargissement progressif de son aire de répartition, exposant la métropole à des risques sanitaires jusqu'alors circonscrits aux régions tropicales. Mobilisant les cadres théoriques des sociologies de l’environnement, des risques et de la santé, et s'appuyant sur un corpus réunissant données qualitatives (311 entretiens et observation participante) et quantitatives (1415 questionnaires), cette thèse analyse la recomposition du rapport entre enjeux environnementaux et sanitaires face à la prolifération de moustiques vecteurs. L'analyse porte tout d'abord sur la place et le statut de l’insecte au sein des différentes populations. Puis, l’attention est portée aux caractéristiques socioéconomiques influençant la vulnérabilité individuelle. Ensuite, les attentes et demandes de la population relatives à la démoustication sont questionnées. Enfin, la dernière partie développe une analyse diachronique dans les Alpes-Maritimes. / In France,the human-mosquito relationship and the mosquito control policies show differentiated stories and features from one territory to another.Thus,if in FDA mosquitoes never ceased being epidemic factors,however,on the Mediterranean coast until recently they no longer represented a Health risk.Indeed,in the FDA,since their implementation,mosquito control campaigns have always been conducted for a sanitary purpose through vector control campaigns.Meanwhile,in metropolitan France,aiming to reduce the nuisance,these policies were initially implemented to ensure the inhabitants comfort.But,starting from 2004,following the durable installation of the Asian tiger mosquito on the French Mediterranean coastline and the progressive widening of its distribution area,the context evolves and,from now on,the metropolitan France is potentially exposed to health risks hitherto circumscribed to tropical areas.Mobilising the theoretical frameworks of environmental,health and risks sociologies,and based on a corpus gathering qualitative (311 interviews and direct observations) and quantitative data (1415 questionnaires),this PhD analyses the recombining of the relationship between environmental and health challenges in light of the vector mosquitoes proliferation.It initially focuses on the place and status of the insect within the different populations.Then, the socio-economic factors influencing the individual vulnerability of exposure to the insect are studied.The third part is devoted to the expectations and requests of the inhabitants regarding the public management of the mosquitoes’ proliferation.Finally, a diachronic analysis centered on the Alps-Maritimes region is developed.

The awareness and concern regarding social and environmental issues is growing among representatives of the business sector and they cannot eliminate the impact that they have. Corporate Social Responsibility is a complex strategy to govern the whole process of doing business. The objective of the Diploma Thesis is to prepare comprehensive analysis of current CSR practices in the Czech Republic and find out what type of impact the socially responsible practices of a company can have on a customers behaviour. The used literature represents pervious findings in the field, mainly researches done among Czech customers. In the practical part personal interviews with the company representative will be held in order to examine practical implications of CSR practices for the biggest brewery; Anheusher-Busch InBev.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Claudia Dos Santos Almeida.pdf: 2765145 bytes, checksum: a2641b15839aab704f6874430ee3e10a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-03-29 / The research aims at digital photography in the educational design of the Pedagogy Course at the University Center. From educational design perspective, our goal is to identify the potential of this means of visual communication in order to discuss the environmental routine of Tiete River, in the state of São Paulo, which is highly polluted and contaminated nowadays. The objective is to recognize the problems, needs and expectations regarding the use of the photography applied in the design of the Communication and Language discipline mentioned above at the Pedagogy course. The collected data will provide basis and consolidate the intervention project, with one Public State Elementary School/Secondary Education, Youth and Adult Education - Supplementary, located in the East Zone of São Paulo city. The possibility is that the dynamic digital photography has dialogic potential. However, it is rarely used to discuss daily situations in distance learning. The theoretical framework of the educational field which supports the study derives from Paulo Freire's work (2014, 2014th, 2011, 2011a, 2010) and his followers: Gadotti Moacir (2010) and Paulo Padilha (2002). Similarly, the theoretical framework of the field of communication is provided by Pierre Lévy (2004, 2011, 2011a, 2014) and researchers who gave it continuity: Andrea Filatro (2008); Francisca Severino (2001); João Mattar (2014) and Margarita Gomez (2004). The methodological procedures of a qualitative approach are the documentary analysis, conversation circle and content analysis, based on Eloiza Szymanski (2004). The research results contributed to the use of digital photography as an educational tool in the educational design, thus being able, under certain conditions, to have their use in the Pedagogy course of distance learning. . The research was developed at Basic School research group , Management and Intervention, under the coordination of Professor Dr. Eleodora Francisca Santos Severino, at the Post - Graduate Program in Management and Educational Practices at UNINOVE which was recommended by CNPQ / A pesquisa tem por objeto a fotografia digital no design educacional do curso de Pedagogia de um Centro Universitário. Na perspectiva do design educacional, o objetivo é identificar o potencial deste meio de comunicação visual ao problematizar o cotidiano ambiental do Rio Tietê, no Estado de São Paulo, hoje altamente poluído e contaminado. Busca-se reconhecer as dificuldades, necessidades e expectativas quanto ao uso da fotografia utilizada no design da disciplina Comunicação e Linguagem no curso de Pedagogia. Os dados obtidos servirão de base para consolidar o projeto de intervenção em Escola Pública Estadual de Ensino Fundamental/Ensino Médio, Educação de Jovens e Adultos – Supletivo, localizada na zona leste da cidade de São Paulo. A hipótese é que a fotografia dinâmica digital tem potencial dialógico, porém pouco utilizada para problematizar situações do cotidiano no ensino a distância. O referencial teórico do campo pedagógico que sustenta a pesquisa deriva da obra de Paulo Freire (2014, 2014a, 2011, 2011a, 2010) e seus continuadores Moacir Gadotti (2010) e Paulo Padilha (2002). De igual modo, o referencial teórico do campo da comunicação é fornecido por Pierre Lévy (2004, 2011, 2011a, 2014) e pesquisadores que lhe deram continuidade: Andrea Filatro (2008); Francisca Severino (2001); João Mattar (2014) e Margarita Gomez (2004). Os procedimentos metodológicos de enfoque qualitativo são a análise documental, a roda de conversa e a análise do conteúdo, com base em Eloiza Szymanski (2004). Os resultados da pesquisa contribuíram para o uso da fotografia digital como instrumento didático no design educacional, podendo, em determinadas condições, ser aplicada nos cursos de Pedagogia a distância. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se no âmbito do grupo de pesquisa Escola Básica, Gestão e Intervenção, sob a coordenação da professora Dra. Francisca Eleodora Santos Severino, no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Gestão e Práticas Educacionais da UNINOVE, recomendado pelo CNPQ. / El propósito de este estudio es la fotografía digital en lo diseño instruccional del Centro Universitario en una facultad de pedagogía. Desde la perspectiva del diseño educativo, nuestro objetivo es identificar el potencial de este medio de comunicación visual para discutir el día a día del Rio Tietê, en Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, hoy altamente contaminado. Buscase reconocer las dificultades, necesidades y expectativas con respecto a la utilización de la fotografía en el diseño educacional de la disciplina Comunicación y Lenguaje, en la facultad de pedagogía. Los datos obtenidos servirán como una base para sustentar y consolidar el proyecto de intervención en una escuela pública primaria, de educación secundaria y educación de jóvenes y adultos, situada en la región este de la ciudad de São Paulo. La hipótesis es que la fotografía digital dinámica tiene potencial del diálogo, pero rara vez se utiliza para analizar las situaciones diarias en el aprendizaje a distancia. El marco teórico del campo educacional que el estudio se deriva viene de la obra de Paulo Freire (2014, 2014a, 2011, 2011a, 2010) y sus seguidores Moacir Gadotti (2010) y Paulo Padilha (2002). De mismo modo, el marco teórico del campo de la comunicación es fornecido por Pierre Lévy (2004, 2011, 2011a, 2014) y algunos investigadores que le dieron continuidad, como Andrea Filatro (2008), Francisca Severino (2001), João Mattar (2014) y Margarita Gomez (2004). Los procedimientos metodológicos de enfoque cualitativo son el análisis documental, lo grupo de conversación y el análisis del contenido, basado en Eloiza Szymanski (2004). Los resultados de la investigación ayudaron a conocer la fotografía digital como herramienta de la didáctica en el diseño educativo. Pueden, bajo ciertas condiciones, ter su uso en clases de enseñanza a distancia. El estudio ocurrió en el grupo de la Escuela Básica, Gestión y Intervención, coordenado por la profesora Francisca Eleodora Santos Severino, en el Programa de Pos-Graduación en Gestión y Practicas de la Educación de la Universidad Nove de Julho, Uninove, recomendado por la institución CNPQ.

The Master´s thesis is structurally divided into the theoretical and practical part. In the theoretical part, the author describes current global environmental issues and the impact of the industry on the environment. The current state of the environmental legislation in mechanical engineering, environmental management systems, and methodologies of an environmental impact assessment are described. The practical part deals with the environmental burden of the snowboard production process according to the LCA method. Life cycle inventory is performed to evaluate individual materials whose production is the most environmentally damaging. At the last stage, possible measures are proposed to reduce the environmental burden.

This diploma thesis is focused on the analysis of humorous environmental cartoons in specific periods during last twenty-three years. In the content and semiotic analysis, I am dealing with cartoons in its various forms in the Czech broadsheet newspapers MF Dnes, Právo, Lidové noviny, Hospodářské noviny, Deník, Lidová demokracie, Svobodné slovo and Práce. I surveyed the subtopics dominating in specific periods and the frequency of envirotoons depending on particular titles and current events in the Czech Republic. The thesis deals with these media contents also in connection with global environmental issues and their public discussion. Another important part is the reflection of social problems which the analyzed topics are closely related with. Combination of quantitative and qualitative methods enables to describe and interpret media units of content and lay the foundations for the research of environmental cartoons which has no tradition in the Czech Republic. In the thesis, I point to the fact that newspaper cartoons provide not only the relaxation and entertainment, but it is also an important medium in environmental agenda-setting and its discussion.

The Master's thesis "Food Waste in the United States as an Issue of Federal Public Policy Making" analyzes the role of the federal government in dealing with food waste. It mainly focuses on federal legislation, but it also examines actions on the state level to illustrate the contrast between the two. In the thesis, the author examines the causes and sources of food waste, federal jurisdiction for intervention, and the history of passed legislation, as well as proposed legislation, and solutions. The main goal of the thesis is to demonstrate that federal involvement is fundamental in achieving any significant change, but so far has failed to do so. Primary literature consisting largely of bills, materials published by federal agencies, and reports by non-profit organizations were used to uncover the character of passed legislation. Academic secondary literature in the form of articles, reports, and factsheets offered context to understand the scope and impacts of the legislation. Analysis of those sources revealed federal authority to deal with the issue, as well as possible obstacles standing in the way of an extensive federal intervention. Research also showed that in the absence of federal action, some states have stepped up to introduce legislation to reduce food waste, but this legislation is...
