The purpose of the study was to quantify the relationship between adolescent smoking and economic dependence on the tobacco crop. A survey of 1322 students from a random sample of all secondary schools in four counties in southeastern Kentucky was performed. The survey gathered information concerning smoking behavior and social variables. Chi-square analysis was performed to assess the relationships between these variables in students from families who worked with tobacco and families who did not. Chi square analysis of female adolescent smoking behavior revealed a significant association between the instances of adolescent smoking and age, friend smoking status and sibling smoking status in both families who grew or worked with tobacco and families who did not. The only difference noted between the groups was in females from non-tobacco growing families whose smoking behavior was also significantly associated with mother smoking behavior. Assessment of males demonstrated no differences between those from tobacco growing families and those from non-tobacco families. In both groups smoking was significantly associated with age, friend smoking status and sibling smoking status.

The diploma thesis concentrates on the topic of occupational health and safety of healthcare workers in intensive care unit.

The problem discussed concerns the relations between the conditions and organization of work as being facilitators of the occurrence of accidents from the assumption that, knowing the risk factors involved in labor activities in the pharmaceutical industry, you can see a strategy aimed at reducing the current rate of accidents at work. First, an analysis was made of the profile of the employee victim, type of activity carried out in business, time distribution of accidents, body parts affected and causes of accidents and injuries. We tried to verify the relationship between the accident and profile of affected workers and the working conditions of the area where they work in accordance with the personnel management policies adopted in the company. The method adopted for the research was the case study. Data were collected from a compilation of accidents reported through communication of Occupational Accidents (CAT), available in the collection of documentary industry. The research shows that the productive sector has a range of diversity of jobs and tasks. Organized in two shifts, the pace of work is intense, with continuous and repetitive movements of body parts, forced postures, intense rotations of trunk and head and legs of inflections, which makes the environment conducive to accidents. Under health and safety of workers, found that the organization adopts a policy not very well formalized, but supports the activities prevention ongoing, as the recommendations of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and the legal concepts. The findings point to the need of the pharmaceutical industry, field of research, preventive care and has the standard of management, that invests in health and safety, improving working conditions, preserving the dignity of their workers. / Esta dissertação apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada na Indústria Química do Estado de Goiás S/A (IQUEGO), com o objetivo de diagnosticar a ocorrência de acidentes no ambiente de trabalho, no período de 2000 a 2007. A problemática discutida refere-se às relações entre as condições e a organização do trabalho como elementos facilitadores da ocorrência de acidentes, a partir do pressuposto de que, conhecendo os fatores de riscos inerentes às atividades laborais da indústria farmacêutica, pode-se vislumbrar uma estratégia voltada à redução dos índices de acidentes no trabalho. Em primeiro plano, procedeu-se a análise do perfil do trabalhador vitimado, tipo de atividade exercida na empresa, distribuição temporal dos acidentes, partes do corpo atingidas e causas dos acidentes e das lesões. Buscou-se verificar a relação entre os acidentes e o perfil dos trabalhadores vitimados, bem como as condições de trabalho da área em que atuam, de conformidade com as políticas de gestão de pessoal adotadas na empresa. O método adotado para a investigação foi o estudo de caso. Os dados foram coletados dos registros dos acidentes relatados por meio de Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho (CAT), disponíveis no acervo documental da indústria. A pesquisa revelou que o setor produtivo possui uma gama de diversidade de postos de trabalho e tarefas executadas. Organizado em dois turnos, o ritmo de trabalho é intenso, com movimentação contínua e repetitiva de partes do corpo, posturas forçadas, rotações intensas de tronco e cabeça e flexões de pernas, o que torna esse ambiente propício à ocorrência de acidentes. No âmbito da saúde e segurança do trabalhador, constatou-se que a organização não adota uma política própria de prevenção devidamente formalizada, mas apóia as atividades prevencionistas em curso, conforme as recomendações das Boas Práticas de Fabricação (BPF) e as concepções legais sobre o assunto. As conclusões apontam para a necessidade de a indústria farmacêutica, campo da pesquisa, ter o cuidado preventivo como norma de gestão, investir em saúde e segurança, no sentido de melhorar as condições de trabalho, preservando a saúde e a dignidade de seus trabalhadores.

Esta pesquisa objetiva observar como se dá a constituição dialógica no gênero dis-cursivo artigo científico em sua relação com enunciados anteriores, pautando-se na teoria dialógica do discurso, tal como proposta por Bakhtin e seu Círculo. Parte-se da hipótese de que, nesse gênero, as relações dialógicas são mais profundas e complexas que os diálogos mais explícitos, que envolvem as citações sob a forma de discurso direto e indireto. O corpus constitui-se por dois grupos de materiais: o primeiro é composto por uma norma da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT) e três manuais de metodologia da pesquisa científica; e o segundo, por quinze artigos científicos publicados ao longo de trinta anos do periódico científico Revista Brasileira de Saúde Ocupacional, da Fundacentro, instituição do Ministério do Trabalho, dedicada à pesquisa na área de Saúde e Segurança do Trabalhador. Observaram-se seis tipos de relações dialógicas: complementação como marca de novidade, confirmação e concordância, diálogo com o conhecimento científico con-sensual, referenciação bibliográfica com apagamento dos limites discursivos, enun-ciados colcha de retalhos, discordância em relação a enunciados alheios. Cada uma delas ocorre, quase sempre, na mesma articulação composicional, pois de-sempenham funções no gênero artigo científico que são condizentes com a função da articulação em que se encontram. Conclui-se que as relações dialógicas obser-vadas nos artigos científicos não só são mais profundas e complexas que os discur-sos citados, confirmando-se a hipótese levantada, como também constituem carac-terísticas específicas do gênero, visto que respondem às necessidades da esfera, mantendo, ao longo dos anos, determinado padrão da forma composicional do gênero. / This research aims to observe how occurs the dialogical constitution of scientific ar-ticle genre in its relation with previous utterances, based on dialogical theory of dis-course, such as proposed by Bakhtin and his Circle. The hypothesis is that, at this genre, dialogical relations are deeper and more complex than the most explicit ones, which involves citations, such as direct and indirect discourses. The corpus is consti-tuted by two groups of materials: the first one is composed by a standard of Brazilian Association of Technical Standards and by three scientific inquiry methodological manuals; the second group is composed by fifteen scientific articles published at scientific journal Revista Brasileira de Saúde Ocupacional during thirty years. This journal is published by Fundacentro, a Brazilian governmental research institution in the field of Occupational Health and Safety. Six types of dialogical relations were ob-served: complementation as novelty, confirmation and concordance, dialogue with scientific consensus, bibliographic reference with effacement of discursive limits, pat-chwork utterances, and discordance about others utterances. Almost always, each of them occurs at the same compositional articulation, because their functions at scien-tific article are suitable with compositional articulation functions where they are. We conclude that observed dialogical relations are not only deeper and more complex than cited discourses, confirming our hypothesis, but also constitute genre specifics characteristics, because they meet the needs of the sphere, maintaining a specific compositional form standard of the genre, during the years.

Background: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) remain at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) due to lifestyle associated risk factors such poor diets and low physical activity levels. Interventions have been adapted which target ongoing T2D self-management. However, there are no adapted programmes which prevent T2D through reducing risk factors. The present research project addresses this gap through a three-phase study on the existing literature, theoretical basis, and process evaluation of a T2D prevention programme. Methods: Phase 1: The literature reviews identified that the support needs of people with ID with T2D are currently not being met. Appropriate training needs to be delivered so that people with ID can self-manage or reduce the risk of T2D effectively. Given the early onset of T2D in people with ID and their often shorter lifespan, there is rationale for a preventative agenda in T2D education. Four potential mainstream intervention programmes were identified, and the self-efficacy model was found to be the most prevalent successfully implemented theoretical model. Phase 2: Nine sub-themes were identified following analysis of the data: 1) "Mastery through knowledge"; 2) "Mastery through tools and strategies"; 3) "Mastery through autonomy"; 4) "Influence of social setting"; 5) "Positive social comparisons"; 6) "Positive and negative self-statements"; 7) "Feedback from Caregivers"; 8) "Adjustment experiences"; 9) "Symptom awareness". These were mapped onto Bandura's (1977) Four Sources of efficacy enhancement model and were consistentwith its proposed mechanisms. The Four Sources model serves as a useful mode of enquiry for exploring people with ID's experiences and perceptions of self-managing diabetes. It also confirms the appropriateness of ssself-efficacy as a potential intervention component for this population. However, additional support may be required for people with ID to reflect meaningfully on their experiences and thus have a sense of self-efficacy. Phase3: 96% of invited students agreed to participate. The Walking Away programme was positively received, and some short-term impact was described, yet there were limitations to accessibility of the program due to the complexity of the language and materials. Suggestions for further adaptations regarding materials and content were provided, and there was perceived scope for a long-term implementation built into college curriculum.

Conclusions: The findings provide basis for a further trial incorporating the suggested adaptations. A self-efficacy informed prevention programme was highly acceptability to students and teaching staff. Further education colleges provided a supportive setting and yielded a rich sample.

No. of bitstreams: 1 goes.pdf: 120351938 bytes, checksum: 2817935832aa5b54edb1b8238316ed43 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-08-28 / Nenhuma / A presente Tese de Doutorado traz uma abordagem acerca das nanotecnologias e seus desdobramentos no mundo do trabalho, sobretudo quanto à preocupação de proteção da saúde e da segurança do trabalhador, como forma de preservação da sua dignidade. Essa preocupação não só se mantém quando se trata de trabalho nanotecnológico, como também se acentua e ganha novos contornos, pois ao se falar em anotecnologias, está se falando em um cenário de incertezas e inseguranças. As pesquisas e estudos sobre essas novas tecnologias ainda não possuem definições concretas quanto aos riscos e efeitos das nanotecnologias para o homem e para o meio ambiente, mas dadas a características das nanopartículas, se tem a certeza de que efeitos nocivos serão produzidos. Esse quadro provoca o surgimento de riscos desconhecidos e futuros. Diante deste novo panorama, o Direito do Trabalho deve prestar respostas às demandas nanotecnológicas decorrentes do fato (jurídico) laboral nanotecnológico, até mesmo porque, existindo efeitos nocivos, logicamente, os trabalhadores serão seus primeiros destinatários, em razão da fabricação, manipulação e exposição de nanotecnologias, em decorrência de nanopartículas, nanomateriais e nanotubos. Não restam dúvidas que o Direito do Trabalho, seguindo a linha de que a eliminação e diminuição de riscos laborais é direito fundamental social do trabalhador, possui um vigente sistema normativo de prevenção. Todavia, em se tratando de nanotecnologias, o que existe em termos de normas não é suficiente para promover a efetiva proteção do trabalhador nanotecnológico. Em vista disso e almejando aproveitamento para as nanotecnologias, fixa-se a ideia de utilização do conjunto interpretativo círculo hermenêutico= princípio de solidariedade=consciência coletiva. Com efeito, o princípio da precaução surge como ponto de partida para se criar marcos regulatórios que atendam esse novo fato jurídico. Neste sentido, a Tese apresenta a proposta hermenêutica do “diálogo entre as fontes” de Direito do Trabalho como forma de permitir que se encontrem respostas (“vozes”) a partir de um “diálogo” coordenado pelo intérprete que será estabelecido entre fontes tradicionais e não tradicionais do Direito. Neste contexto a proposta hermenêutica ofertada se aproximará muito mais de um modelo de regulação não tradicional do que de uma regulação tradicional ou legal. Seguindo essa linha, a Tese buscará apresentar propostas de marcos regulatórios que possam ser aplicáveis à relação nanotecnologias x trabalho humano, lançando mão de orientações, recomendações e normas técnicas de determinados órgãos internacionais, os quais têm se dedicado a um tratamento específico acerca dos efeitos do trabalho nanotecnológico, bem como apresenta um Projeto de Lei de alteração da Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho, representando a expressão de uma nova hermenêutica do Direito ou de um novo Direito. Não obstante as alternativas que se apresentam, todos os argumentos desta Tese restam estruturados na ideia de um objetivo ético universal: o cuidado humano – a preocupação com o irredutível humano -, e o cuidado constitucional – a preocupação com a dignidade do trabalhador que, no caso, somente se materializará com a preservação da sua saúde e da sua segurança em todo o contexto do trabalho nanotecnológico. / This doctoral thesis presents an approach toward nanotechnology and its effects on the realm of labor, especially in terms of occupational health and safety, as a means of preserving the dignity of workers. This concern not only applies to nanotechnological work, but is also intensified and takes on new dimensions, since addressing the issue of nanotechnologies takes place against a backdrop of uncertainties and insecurities. The research and studies on these new technologies have not yet provided concrete definitions regarding the risks and effects of nanotechnologies on man and the environment, but given the characteristics of nanoparticles, it is certain that harmful effects will occur. This scenario gives rise to unknown and future risks. In light of this new panorama, Labor Law must respond to nanotechnological demands that arise from the (legal) nanotechnological labor reality, all the more since, given the existence of harmful effects, workers will naturally be the first to suffer the impact, due to manufacturing, handling and exposure to nanotechnologies, in terms of nanoparticles, nanomaterials and nanotubes. There is no doubt that Labor Law, in accordance with the concept that the elimination and reduction of occupational hazards is a fundamental social right of workers, has a set of rules in force for prevention. However, in the case of nanotechnologies, what exists in terms of standards is insufficient to ensure the effective protection of nanotechnology workers. In view of this and in order to use nanotechnologies, there is an idea established to use the following interpretive equation: hermeneutic circle = principle of solidarity = collective consciousness. In effect, the principle of precaution is a starting point for creating regulatory frameworks that will meet this new legal reality. In this regard, the thesis presents a hermeneutical proposal for "dialogue between the sources" of Labor Law, so that answers ("voices") can be found, based on a "dialogue" coordinated by the interpreter that would be established between traditional and non-traditional sources of Law. In this context, the hermeneutic proposal offered here will be much closer to a nontraditional regulatory model than a traditional or legal regulatory model. Along these lines, the thesis will seek to present proposals for regulatory frameworks that could be applicable to the nanotechnologies x human labor relationship, using guidelines recommendations and technical standards from certain international organizations, which have dedicated themselves to specifically addressing the effects of nanotechnological work. IT also presents a Bill to amend the CLT ("Consolidation of Labor Laws"), which would serve to express a new hermeneutics of law or a new law. Regardless of the alternatives that are presented, all the arguments of this thesis are structured around the idea of a universal ethical objective: human care – concern at the essential human level, as well as constitutional care – concern for the dignity of workers, which will only materialize through the preservation of their health and safety within the entire context of nanotechnological work.

Fundacentro is an institution of research and studies related to safety, hygiene and occupational medicine, coupled with the Ministry of Labor. Fundacentro had great relevance in the period mentioned, and, among their responsibilities there is one which is highlighted by the social function it accomplished. Firstly, it was to provide technical accessory to the Legislature and the Executive in order to have the development of safety standards at work. Secondly, it was to coordinate and promote the professionals chiefly specialized in security and health in the area, implemented by official policy. Fundacentro ran as a tripartite organization and was directed by a Board of Councils, which was held by government representatives, entrepreneurs and workers. The correlation between social groups involved in Fundacentro since it was created had no equality in terms of the entrepreneurship, the government, the academics1 and trade unions, together with international bodies like the International Labor Organization (ILO) and their respective interests in the structuring the Health and Safety in Brazil. In a period in which Brazil was considered the champion in work accidents, their main function was to provide technical support and educational prevention policy. It was defined by the government, which stemmed from the assumption that the accidents were caused by the workers themselves. This evidence is taken from the immanent analysis of sources: publications by Fundacentro, as the Newsletter and the Brazilian Journal of Occupational Health (Revista Brasileira da Saúde Ocupacional), prevention information disseminated by the institution Fundacentro. They are based on concepts related to the Unsafe Act of the worker, blaming himself for the accidents. We finally understand that, the powers of the institution at that time were consistent with the National Security Doctrine / O objetivo central deste trabalho foi o de entender a política desenvolvida pelo governo ditatorial entre os anos de 1966 e 1976, para a Segurança e Saúde do Trabalho, através da criação da Fundacentro. A Fundacentro é uma instituição de pesquisa e estudos atinentes à segurança, higiene e medicina do trabalho, vinculada ao Ministério do Trabalho. A Fundacentro teve grande relevância no período, pois, dentre suas atribuições duas se destacaram pela função social que cumpriram: dar assessoria técnica ao Legislativo e ao Executivo para o desenvolvimento de normas de segurança no trabalho e coordenar e promover a formação de profissionais especializados em segurança e saúde na área, implementares da política oficial. Dirigida por um Conselho Superior que agregava representantes do governo, empresariado e trabalhadores, atuou como uma organização tripartite. A correlação entre os grupos sociais envolvidos na Fundacentro desde a sua criação empresariado, governo, academia e sindicatos, juntamente com organismos internacionais como a Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT) e os seus respectivos interesses na estruturação da Saúde e Segurança do Trabalho no Brasil, não se deu de forma igualitária. Em um período em que o Brasil era considerado campeão em acidentes de trabalho, sua função principal foi a de dar respaldo técnico e educacional à política prevencionista definida pelo governo, que partia do pressuposto de que os acidentes eram provocados pelos acidentados, ou seja, os próprios trabalhadores. Evidenciamos, a partir da análise imanente das fontes publicações da Fundacentro, como o Boletim Informativo e a Revista Brasileira de Saúde Ocupacional, a educação prevencionista propagada pela Fundacentro, baseada em conceitos relativos ao Ato Inseguro do trabalhador, culpabilizando-o pelos acidentes. Entendemos, por fim, que as atribuições da Instituição naquele período, se coadunavam com a Doutrina de Segurança Nacional

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.
