Para muchos profesionales la Guardia es una acción conservadora, asistencialista y paternalista; en nuestro estudio direccionamos una nueva mirada a esa práctica, en la que creemos que es posible, a través de intervenciones técnicas diferenciadas y creativas, despertar el potencial y la capacidad de los usuarios para transformar la realidad y, en consecuencia, obtener una mejora en la calidad de vida. Fundamentados en la opinión de las trabajadoras sociales, evaluamos las características y los resultados de esa práctica en la dinámica de las acciones multiprofesionales de las UBS y concluimos que la Guardia es un espacio para acoger a los usuarios fragilizados por los aspectos de la enfermedad y del sufrimiento; para el rescate de la autonomia y la conquista de la ciudadanía de las personas. En este contexto, la Guardia se efectiva como un espacio socioeducativo que contribuye para el desarrollo de las potencialidades y capacidades de los usuarios, haciéndolos críticos, participativos e integrantes de las acciones colectivas de salud que tienen por objeto el conocimiento de las enfermedades, la prevención, promoción y recuperación de la salud, el control social, la supervisión y la evaluación de los servicios y programas existentes en el sector de la salud. / Este trabalho é uma proposta de análise e reflexão do Plantão do Serviço Social nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde de Franca, considerando os objetivos do SUS e do Projeto Ético-Político do Serviço Social.

As relações de trabalho na indústria calçadista de Franca

Crico, Ana Paula 25 August 2006 (has links)
The present work seeks to enlarge the discussion about the several transformations that happened in the work relationships inside the Franca footwear industries. To better understand such transformations the research was developed over the many transformations occurred in the city, since the geographical displacement of the industrial pole, until the places that were of great importance in the life of the francanos workers, as the Praça Nossa Senhora da Conceição, the heart of the city. The process of productive reorganization of the footwear industry was marked by the machinery modifications, by the subcontracting process of the productive sector parts (followed by the intense impoverishment of the work starting from 1990 decade) and by the organizational reorganization inside the companies, that reflected in a new form of the worker to exert their functions in the footwear industries. The workers demonstrated, through their experiences, how the alterations in their lives had happened inside of this so important productive footwear pole that Franca became. Moving by your people's power and generating and attracting more and more labor force, the city became world-wide known for the shoes production, mainly the masculine ones. In the "City of the Shoe" the shoemakers lived changes, organized themselves, searched and formed syndical union and political representations, and went to the streets to fight and bleed for their sacred rights of worker. / O presente trabalho visa ampliação da discussão sobre as diversas transformações ocorridas nas relações de trabalho na indústria calçadista de Franca. Para entender melhor tais transformações a pesquisa desenvolveu-se em cima das muitas alterações que se sucederam na cidade, desde o deslocamento geográfico do pólo industrial, até os locais que foram de grande importância na vida dos trabalhadores francanos, como a Praça Nossa Senhora da Conceição, o coração da cidade. O processo de reestruturação produtiva da indústria calçadista foi marcado pela modificação do maquinário, pelo processo de terceirização de partes do setor produtivo (acompanhado pela precarização intensa do trabalho a partir da década de 1990) e pela reestruturação organizacional dentro das empresas, o que se refletiu em uma nova forma do trabalhador exercer as suas funções nas fábricas de calçados. Os trabalhadores demonstraram, através de suas experiências, como as alterações em suas vidas foram ocorrendo no interior deste pólo produtivo de calçados tão importante em que Franca se tornou. Movendo-se pela força de sua gente e gerando e atraindo cada vez mais mão-de-obra, a cidade fez-se conhecida mundialmente pela produção de sapatos, principalmente os masculinos. Na "Cidade do Calçado" os operários sapateiros vivenciaram mudanças, organizaram-se, buscaram e formaram representações sindicais e políticas, foram à luta e sangraram nas ruas por seus direitos sagrados de trabalhador. / Mestre em História

Didaktická reflexe globálních angličtin v učebních textech pro učitele angličtiny / The role of English in the globalized world and its reflection in current teacher training manuals

Hovorka, Marek January 2016 (has links)
The present thesis is concerned with the reflection of Global Englishes (GEs) and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in current teacher training manuals. The theoretical part introduces research into GEs and ELF with an emphasis on the pedagogical implications of the global role of English. The practical part consists in an analysis of four teachers training manuals of British provenance published between 2011 and 2014. Using a qualitative content analysis (see Schreier 2012), the author identifies in the selected publications textual material reflecting research into GEs and ELF. The identified textual material deals primarily with the teaching of language (e.g. pronunciation teaching) and culture (e.g. cultural relevance of materials), but attention is also paid to the current role of English in the world. On the basis of this material, the author then evaluates how the selected publications reflect research into GEs and ELF. The conclusion provides a summary of results, and suggestions for further research. Keywords: Global Englishes, English as a Lingua Franca, teacher training manuals, ELT, qualitative content analysis

När internationella affärsrelationer skapas : En kvalitativ studie om betydelsen av valet av språk för kundupplevelsen i utvecklandet av långsiktiga internationella affärsrelationer

Casi-Josefsson, Jolanda, Ghebremeskel, Winta January 2020 (has links)
Purpose: This study aims to provide a better understanding of the importance of mastering foreign languages in building international business relationships as well as whether English should be considered an interlingua in international negotiations. Theoretical framework: This study ́s theoretical framework consists of the disciplines Business-to-Business (B2B) marketing and psychic distance. In B2B marketing a sustainable business relationship is built on the customer experience which in turn rests the four pillars of trust, integrity, communication, and interdependence. Psychic distance includes the subdisciplines cultural distance, inter-organizational distance, and linguistic distance. Method: This study employs a qualitive research with an abductive approach. The empirical material was collected through semi-structured interviews. The respondents consisted of four employees at Business Sweden, who are working in different markets, and two Swedish export companies in the manufacturing industry. Conclusion: The study shows that the choice of language mainly affects communication and trust between the parties. The perceived integrity is affected more by the parties' socio- pragmatic skills than their linguistic skills. Mutual dependence affects the parties' attitudes towards language choice rather than vice versa. The study also shows that despite the English status as Lingua Franca, misunderstandings can still arise that are based on the communicators' cultural background. / Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att ge ökad förståelse för betydelsen av behärskningen av främmande språk vid skapandet av internationella affärsrelationer samt den funktion som engelskan fyller vid internationella förhandlingar. Teori: Uppsatsens teoretiska referensram utgörs av begreppen Business-to-Business (B2B) marknadsföring och psykiskt avstånd. En hållbar affärsrelation i B2B marknadsföring bygger på kundupplevelsen eller företagens uppfattning av varandra. Denna kundupplevelse bygger i sin tur på fyra grundpelare: förtroende, integritet, kommunikation och ömsesidigt beroende. I psykiskt avstånd ingår kulturellt avstånd, interorganisatoriskt avstånd och språkligt avstånd. Metod: Denna studie är baserad på en kvalitativ med en abduktiv ansats. Det empiriska materialet samlades in via semistrukturerade intervjuer. Respondenterna utgjordes av fyra anställda på Business Sweden, som är placerade på olika marknader, samt två svenska exportbolag inom tillverkningsindustrin. Slutsats: Studien visar på att språkvalet främst påverkar kommunikationen och förtroendet mellan parterna. Den upplevda integriteten påverkas mer av parternas sociopragmatiska kompetenser än deras språkliga kompetenser. Ömsesidigt beroende påverkar parternas attityder gentemot språkvalet snarare än vice versa. Studien visar även på att trots engelskans status som Lingua Franca kan det fortfarande uppstå missförstånd som grundar sig i kommunikatörernas kulturella bakgrund.

Světové angličtiny a angličtina jako lingua franca: reflexe globálních paradigmatických změn v České republice. / World Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca: a reflection of global paradigmatic changes in the Czech Republic.

Quinn Novotná, Veronika January 2012 (has links)
Introduction: Presently, there are more people who speak English as a second and foreign language than there are native speakers. This situation results, among others, in the fall of the native speaker model and subsequently in gradually changing attitudes to standard(s) and to language and teaching authorities in general. Present thesis reflects these current developments, which are sometimes referred to as 'a paradigmatic shift'. Objectives: The first goal of the thesis was to decipher the terminological pluralism pertinent to the domain. Next, this research set out to investigate, how familiar the phenomenon of English as a lingua franca (ELF) is in the Czech Republic, and consequently to raise awareness about it. Finally, it was our goal to conduct vast research exploring if and how the questions of language ideology are reflected in the teaching practice and in teacher training. Methodology: Both quantitative and qualitative research methods have been applied throughout the research process. The quantitative research included nine originally devised questionnaires. Qualitative data were obtained via conducting semi-structured interviews. Altogether, data were collected from 595 respondents (298 teachers, 285 students and 12 scientists). Results: First, the research results revealed the...

Of Pronunciation and Correctness : The current impossibility of ensuring equitable pronunciation education in Sweden / Om Uttal och Korrekthet : Den nuvarande omöjligheten att uppnå likvärdig uttalsundervisning i Sverige

sundin, anton, Wenell, Viktor January 2021 (has links)
This paper aims at investigating how upper secondary school teachers of English in Malmö, Sweden abide by the curriculum criteria of having their learners develop correctness in speech, as well as what support English teachers receive with regard to pronunciation teaching from official steering documents. Furthermore, this paper attempts to critically evaluate and discuss potential options for pronunciation models or standards in education which hold sway in contemporary research. Through qualitative interviews with four upper secondary school teachers of English, the findings of this study indicate a discrepancy between the participants’ views on how ‘correctness’ should be interpreted as well as their methods for teaching and assessing pronunciation. In addition, none of the participants explicitly expressed a subscription to any particular pronunciation model or standard, but rather that they focused on intelligibility over native speaker accent accuracy. Through personal communications with the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) and a university professor of English at a teacher education programme, tendencies are observable of attempts at shifting responsibility for interpreting, understanding, and applying the syllabi, ultimately leaving individual teachers to uphold the demand of an equitable education through subjective interpretations of pronunciation teaching.  The implications of this study suggest that the field of pronunciation teaching in both Swedish and international context is still underdeveloped and in desperate need of further research. Whilst this study may have limited reach or impact on the field as such, it may serve as an indicator for the problem at large for teachers, researchers and educational agencies as well as promoting an awareness of issues in the equitability of pronunciation teaching. This paper may also serve as a basis for discussion in teacher teams or other educational opportunities for teachers on the development of coherent pronunciation constructs.

Teaching Standards or Standard Teaching? : An analysis of the Swedish national curriculum for English at upper-secondary school level

O'Neill, Ciarán January 2006 (has links)
<p>English is the most expansionist language in the world today. Currently, native speakers are outnumbered by non-native speakers by a ratio of 3:1, a ratio that is set to grow to 10:1 within the next ten years. One of the consequences of a language growing so rapidly is that its new users tend to ignore already accepted standards. In what linguists refer to as the outer and expanding circles of English-speakers (mainly in Africa and Asia) new varieties and standards of English are now being invented.</p><p>In this study, the effects of the current expansion of English on the teaching of English in Swedish upper-secondary schools are explored. Questions raised include: Should teachers of English in Sweden reflect the changing nature of English in their teaching? Should they readily adopt the New Englishes that are emerging or should they teach with the standard they have always used? The national curriculum for the teaching of English in Sweden is discussed in some detail. The guidelines therein are evaluated in terms of their ability to capture the changing face of English as well as their ability to give solid guidance to teachers in a classroom situation.</p><p>Findings derive from linguistic literature and from interviews conducted with English teachers at upper-secondary level. One of the main conclusions of the study is that whilst the national curriculum recognises the global diversity of English, its goals are overambitious in what it tries to achieve and thus it fails to provide teachers with practical guidance in their day-to-day teaching. A recommendation, therefore, is that the curriculum should be clearer in spelling out the importance of adhering to native standard varieties of English. However this does not mean that teachers should ignore the cultural diversity of the English-speaking world.</p>

Eventos climáticos e suas consequências em Franca - SP /

Megda, Otávio Reis. January 2014 (has links)
Orientador: Antônio Carlos Tavares / Banca: Sandra Elisa Pitton / Banca: Roseana Corrêa Grilo / Resumo: Desde o início do século XX a expansão urbana se intensificou no Brasil com a dada migração industrial, caracterizando o processo de urbanização. Com este processo (progresso), alguns problemas se tornaram evidentes do crescimento desordenado e intensificados pela dinâmica urbana, Nos seis últimos anos, os gastos de investimentos para combates as enchentes em Franca - SP ultrapassaram os R$ 17 milhões, evidenciando o problema do escoamento na cidade e a carência de soluções eficazes no setor. Neste trabalho propõe-se uma análise do comportamento dos fatores climáticos na cidade de Franca, evidenciando uma discussão sobre a precipitação pluvial e como a área urbana se comporta diante do escoamento superficial. Este município é um exemplo de cidades médias industrializadas e com propensão a se tornarem grande potencial de urbanização, se destacando midiaticamente principalmente pelos impactos pluviais decorrentes na área urbana. Objetiva-se então, uma proposta de verificar como se comporta o organismo urbano de uma localidade (Franca - SP) frente às precipitações no decorrer da estação chuvosa e os impactos gerados na cidade. / Abstract: Since the early twentieth century, urban expansion in Brazil has intensified with the given industrial migration, characterizing the process of urbanization. With this process (progress), some problems became evident sprawl and intensified by urban dynamics, in the last six years, the cost of investments to combat flooding in Franca - SP exceeded R$17 million, highlighting the problem of disposing in the city and the lack of effective solutions in the industry. In this paper, we propose a behavior analysis of climatic factors in the city of Franca, a discussion highlighting the rainfall and how urban behaves before the runoff. This council is an example of mid-sized cities industrialized and propensity to become great potential for urbanization, highlighting midiaticatly mainly flood and storm water impacts arising in the urban area. The objective is to make a proposal to check the body behaves as an urban locality (Franca - SP) compared to the rainfall during the rainy season and the impacts in this city / Mestre

O deslocamento do discurso sobre a Zona Franca de Manaus: do progresso à modernização ecológica / The shift in the discourse about about Manaus Free Trade Zone: from progress to ecological modernization

Ng, Thaís Brianezi 25 April 2013 (has links)
A Zona Franca de Manaus (ZFM), criada em 1967 pela ditadura militar, termina em 2023, mas ha uma proposta de modificacao da Constituicao Federal do Brasil para que ela dure ate 2073. A partir da compreensao do discurso enquanto pratica social (Focault, 1987, 2002, 2005; Hajer, 1995, 2005, 2006) e da categorizacao dos discursos ambientais (Dryzek, 2005), foram analisados 265 pronunciamentos dos parlamentares do Amazonas, 19 edicoes de uma revista institucional e 626 materias do mais importante jornal local, tudo publicado entre 2007 e 2010. Eles revelam um deslocamento do discurso de legitimacao da ZFM do ideario do progresso ao do desenvolvimento sustentavel, guiado pela modernizacao ecologica. As industrias passaram a ser apresentadas como responsaveis pela conservacao das florestas, gracas a geracao de empregos urbanos: afirma-se que se os incentivos fiscais acabarem, havera desemprego e desmatamento. Esse roteiro fatalista, autoritario, nao reconhece o papel dos povos e comunidades tradicionais na conservacao da floresta nem esta aberto ao debate publico sobre outros modelos de desenvolvimento para a regiao amazonica. / The Manaus Free Trade Zone (ZFM) will end in 2023, but there is a proposal to amend the Brazilian Federal Constitution so that it lasts until 2073. From the understanding of discourse as a social practice (Foucault, 1987, 2002, 2005; Hajer, 1995, 2005, 2006), this paper is based on the critical analysis of 265 parliamentary pronouncements, 19 editions of a institutional magazine and 626 news from the most important local newspaper, all published between 2007 and 2010. It reveals a shift in the discourse about the ZFM, guided by ecological modernization. The industries are now presented as responsible for protecting the rainforest: it is said that if the tax incentives stop, there will be unemployment and deforestation. This fatalistic story line does not recognize the role of traditional peoples and communities in forest conservation and neither is open to the public debate about other models of development for the Amazon.

Na costura do sapato, o desmanche das operárias: um estudo das condições de trabalho e saúde das pespontadeiras da indústria de calçados de Franca (SP) / In the shoe sewing, the female workers unmake: a reseach of the work conditions and health of the female sewing workers in the footwear industry of Franca (SP)

Prazeres, Taísa Junqueira 05 July 2010 (has links)
PRAZERES, T. J. Na costura do sapato, o desmanche das operárias: um estudo das condições de trabalho e saúde das pespontadeiras da Indústria de Calçados de Franca (SP). 2010. 196 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) Programa de Pós-Graduação em Saúde da Comunidade, Departamento de Medicina Social, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, 2010. O mundo do trabalho, nas últimas décadas, foi palco de grandes transformações organizacionais e tecnológicas que modificaram os processos e as relações de trabalho, resultando no aumento dos contratos precários e temporários e na intensificação da jornada de trabalho, aliada à depreciação salarial e à exploração do trabalho em domicílio. Nesse contexto, observa-se um significativo aumento de adoecimentos relacionados ao trabalho e suas precárias condições, que atingem principalmente a classe trabalhadora feminina, devido às características e qualidade do trabalho a ela destinado. A escolha do trabalho na indústria calçadista francana como objeto de estudo deveu-se ao fato de nesta atividade se observar facilmente o resultado dessas mudanças, em especial na seção de costura mecânica (pesponto), onde há maior emprego de mulheres. Tendo como pano de fundo este contexto de mudanças, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi investigar o trabalho de mulheres que realizam tarefas de pesponto de calçados em unidades produtivas de diferentes portes, no município de Franca e tentar estabelecer relações entre as condições de trabalho e os problemas de saúde por elas relatados. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, teve como principal técnica de coleta de dados a entrevista. Foram realizadas 30 entrevistas com trabalhadoras, o que permitiu reconstituir o processo de trabalho e relacionar as condições de trabalho com os problemas de saúde relatados. A análise dos dados da pesquisa denunciou um efeito nefasto do trabalho das pespontadeiras em sua saúde, caracterizado por sofrimentos de ordem física, como fortes dores no corpo, lesões por esforços repetitivos e outros sofrimentos decorrentes das más condições de seus trabalhos, e também de ordem psíquica, como estresse, tristeza, irritação, ansiedade, além de sentimentos de insatisfação e desvalorização no trabalho, sendo que tais sofrimentos, somados às demais consequências de seus trabalhos esvaziam o sentido da vida em todas as esferas do cotidiano, possibilitando a compreensão do preço pago por essas trabalhadoras na busca de sobrevivência. Essa realidade mostrou-se ainda mais agravante quando a atividade laboral é realizada fora do espaço fabril, pela precarização das condições desta, passando esse sofrimento, a coexistir com outros problemas invisíveis do ponto de vista epidemiológico, mas maléfico à vida e à saúde dessas mulheres que vivem nesta situação. / PRAZERES, T. J. In the shoe sewing, the female workers unmake: a reseach of the work conditions and health of the female sewing workers in the footwear industry of Franca (SP). 2010. 196 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciências) Departamento de Medicina Social, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de são Paulo, 2010. Nowadays it is deeply lived a period of organizational and technological transformations that modifies the processes and the work relations wich is possible to notice the increase of precarious and temporary work contracts and the intensification of the workdays, all of them allied with salary depreciation and household labor exploration. In this context it is observed a significant increase of illness related to work and its precarious conditions that mainly reach female work class because of its directed characteristics and job quality. The choice of the research about the work in the footwear industry in the city of Franca is explained by the fact that in this activity it can be easily viewed the results of these transformations, especially in the mechanic sewing sector, where female work is largely employed. Using these transformations contexts as primordial basis, the purpose of the research was to investigate the labor of women that work in mechanic sewing sector of different scales of productions units in the city of Franca by the connection of the work with health problems mentioned by female workers. The qualitative research had as main technique of data collection the interview. 30 of them were applied to female workers allowing to reconstitute the process of labor as much as relating the work conditions with health problems mentioned during the interview. The data analysis of the investigation exhibited a disastrous effect in the health of sewing female workers. These effects can be represented by physical order suffering as strong body aches, repetitive strain injury and other agonies generated by labor bad conditions as much as psychosocial aspects as stress, sadness, anger, anxiety and work dissatisfaction and depreciation feelings. All these symptoms added with other job consequences turn female sewing workers life meaningless allowing the comprehension of the price paid by these workers when hunting for survival. This reality become worse when the labor activity is done out of the manufacture space because of its precariousness conditions, creating a coexistence among suffering and other invisible problems by a epidemiological point of view that still are prejudicial to the life and health of these women that live in this situation.
