Självbestämmande och livskvalitet är starkt kopplat till varandra och självbestämmande är samtidigt en viktig kvalitetsindikator på hur äldreboendet fungerar. Syftet med studien var att lyfta fram de äldres egna tankar och upplevelser av självbestäm-mande och värde på sitt särskilda boende. I denna kvalitativa studie har elva äldre personer på fem olika äldreboenden i en medelstor stad i Sydsverige intervjuats. Data har analyserat med manifest och latent kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I studien har följande fem huvudkatego-rier vuxit fram under analysens gång: Att ställas inför fullbordat faktum, Att vara till lags, Att vara beroende, Att känna uppgivenhet, Att inte värdesättas. Resultatet visar att själv-bestämmande på särskilda boenden behöver sättas i fokus, de äldre upplevde inte att de kunde påverka sin tillvaro på boendet. Det framkom även tydligt att de äldre inte kände att de hade något värde i samhället eller på boendet. Det övergripande tema som uttrycker det latenta innehållet i intervjuerna kom att framstå som disempowerment att omyndiggöra de äldre, vilket innebär en miljö som inte bemyndigar, och som inte stärker individens själv-bestämmande / Self-determination and quality of life are closely connected to one another and at the same time an important indicator on how the long-stay care functions. The aim of this study was to focus on the thoughts of the elderly people and their experiences on self determination and value in their long-stay care. In this qualitative study, eleven elderly people from five different long-stay cares in a medium big city in the south of Sweden have been interviewed. Data has been analysed according to manifest and latent qualitative content analysis. In the study the following five main categories have manifested themselves during the analysis; To face an accomplished fact, To do something for the satisfaction of others, To be dependant, To feel hopelessness, Not to be appreciated. The result shows that self determination within the long-stay cares need to be focused on, the elderly people didn’t feel as though they had any influence on their situation. It was also evident that the elderly people felt they were not appreciated in society or in the long-stay care. The general theme expressing the latent contents in the interviews turned out to be disempowerment of the elderly people, creating an environment which neither empowers nor strengthens the self determination of the individual. / <p>ISBN 91-7997-119-9</p>

O presente estudo trata das garantias e limites jurídicos ao acesso às técnicas de reprodução humana assistida no Brasil. As tecnologias reprodutivas podem ser utilizadas em benefício do indivíduo que pretende gerar um filho, com o objetivo de prevenção de doenças e para realizar o projeto parental, constituindo método disponível para o planejamento da vida reprodutiva. Diante disso, o seu acesso encontra guarida no direito à saúde, e nos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos, que foram inseridos em nosso ordenamento por meio da previsão constitucional do direito ao planejamento familiar, reconhecendo a autonomia de toda pessoa de decidir sobre sua vida reprodutiva. Contudo, o panorama nacional demonstra que esses direitos não são respeitados na prática. Essa situação é agravada pela ausência de uma legislação especial que estabeleça diretrizes e princípios limitadores de ações que representem a violação da dignidade humana, tanto dos beneficiários, quanto da criança que será gerada. Para tanto, destaca-se a necessidade de aprovação de uma legislação especial que responda ao rápido progresso da medicina e da biotecnologia e aos desafios advindos de sua aplicação sobre o homem. Esta lei deve basear-se nas discussões da bioética e no biodireito, para estabelecer princípios que permitam o avanço da ciência, estimulando a solidariedade e decisões conscientes e responsáveis, sem que a intervenção da ciência sobre vida humana acarrete na violação de valores que constituem a essência da pessoa. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-12T18:50:29Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Andrea Aldrovandi.pdf: 896879 bytes, checksum: 1e6fd3a0657a19dd9c2b70165289aaf2 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-12T18:50:29Z (GMT).

The reproductive technologies can be used for the benefit of individual who intends to conceive a child, aiming the prevention of diseases and to execute the parental project, constituting an available method for the projection of the reproductive life. In front of this, its access finds shelter in the right to the health, and in the sexual and reproductive rights, which were added in our ordainment through the constitutional forecast of the right to the familiar projection, recognizing the autonomy of every person to decide on their reproductive life. However, the national panorama shows that these rights are not respected in practice, because in our country. This situation is worsened by the lack of a special legislation which establishes directrixes and principles that are action imitators and represent the infringement of the human dignity, as much the beneficiaries, as the child who will be procreated. For this, it is outstanting the necessity of the approval of a special legislation that responds to the fast progress of the medicine and biotechnology and to the challenges which come from its application over the man. This law must be based on the discussions of the bioethic and on the bioright to establish principles which permit the advance of the science, inciting the solidarity and conscious and responsible decisions, preventing the intervention of the science over the human life not to cause infringement of the valves which constitute the person s nature.

Abstract This diploma thesis, titled "Ensuring intimacy and dignity in patients on urgent reception, self-evident or a luxury?", highlights the issue of respecting human dignity and ensuring intimacy in treating patients on urgent admission. The above issues are currently lagging the prestige of modern healing and nursing practices. In intensive care and therefore in urgent arrivals, an inpatient health care system is being developed, where maintaining the dignity of a person and ensuring his intimacy is very complicated. At a slow pace, this issue moves to the forefront of the public's interests, both professional and lay, particularly from the point of view of patients who have some experience with healthcare. The aim of this diploma thesis was to map the provision of intimacy and respect for dignity in patients on emergency reception by treating staff. The theoretical part of this thesis describes areas such as dignity, intimacy, holism, the needs of the sick, as well as communication and burnout syndrome and the functioning of urgent income as such in a brief description. The practical part of the work was elaborated by the method of qualitative research using the techniques of semi-structured interview with patients who were treated for urgent income and with emergency care staff, combined with the secret observation of the work of the emergency care staff. Interviews and observation took place in April 2017, at the Emergency in Hospital. Permit for research was issued by the Deputy Minister for Nursing. The research group consisted of 10 nurses working on urgent admissions and 10 patients treated in this department. The research shows that nurses have a very good knowledge of dignified care and patient intimacy, but in terms of putting this knowledge into practice, this area is under the supervision of the department's staff to work on it and to deal with it more closely. In patients pointed out to insufficient awareness of the course of treatment, applied medications, and a lack of privacy in nursing. Almost the most discussed issue is communicating personal data and health problems in the emergency waiting room to a nurse, without any possibility of privacy. Some factors that interfere with dignified and intimate care relate to areas of rather structural and organizational adjustments to the department and will be proposed for further solutions.

This thesis offers an original account of the South African Constitutional Court's reasoning in identifying unfair discrimination perpetrated by the state. I use this account to develop proposals for improving the Court's jurisprudence, in line with its stated aim of addressing patterns of group disadvantage. The Court's Harksen test for unfair discrimination makes dignity the touchstone for identifying this wrong. However, the Court has not explained what is required to prove a violation of dignity or how dignity fits with its concern for group disadvantage. I demonstrate that three necessary conditions must be satisfied for the Court to conclude that dignity has been violated: there must be a) unfavourable treatment on the basis of protected grounds; b) that threatens to create or perpetuate patterns of group disadvantage; and c) that lacks adequate justification. I also investigate important features of the Court's reasoning that have been overlooked in the existing literature, including its concern for messages expressed by discrimination and the fluctuating intensity with which it reviews justifications. Among my proposals for developing this reasoning, I argue that the Court should remove human dignity from the Harksen test and openly acknowledge the considerations doing the work in its decisions. I also provide a detailed critique of five of the Court's most controversial decisions where it found discrimination to be fair despite clear indications that it entrenched patterns of disadvantage. I show that in all five cases the Court applied an indefensibly weak intensity of review, falling below the baseline level of scrutiny which ought to be applied in unfair discrimination cases. I contend that consistent application of this baseline will help to make the Court better at preventing and addressing patterns of group disadvantage. I conclude with a restatement of the Harksen test that consolidates the Court's reasoning and my proposals.

The Rainbow Nation is a critical analysis of the notions of community in the thinking of Desmond Tutu. An attempt is being made in this study to demonstrate that the ideal of the Rainbow Nation –an inclusive human community- is a defining motif in Tutu's theological and biblical hermeneutical work. The main discussion in the research project begins by raising a fundamental question which serves as the basis for an analytical construct to examine Tutu's understanding and view of community. The second part of this study focuses on Tutu's early life experiences of community within the South African context. Tutu's writings, sermons, public addresses and statements are systematically and chronologically arranged and presented. This study concludes that Tutu's theology against the apartheid system and his vision for new South Africa, the Rainbow Nation- an inclusive South African Community- rests on triadic doctrines: The Imago Dei, creation of man in the image of God, The Delicate Networks of Interdependence (African Spirit of Ubuntu) and Ecclesiology, which represents the kingdom of God on earth. It is no wonder that out of an oppressive condition Tutu sought a universal vision of inclusive humanity which transcends the barriers of race, class, tribe, ethnicity, religion and other forms of sectarianism. The fundamental problem addressed here, is the notions of community. Its importance and relevance lies in its examination of his approach to the logical development understanding, and realisation of the ideal of the Rainbow Nation. A serious contention in this study is that a critical analysis of the problem in Tutu's thinking can yield insight into the conception, character and realisation of a more inclusive, loving and caring human community. However the author of this study is aware of the fact that one cannot possibly exhaust all the salient aspects of the rainbow nation as a model of an inclusive human community. What this study is attempting to provide here is the insight into the thinking of Desmond Tutu that makes contribution to the discussion of the realisation of the beloved human community. The model of human inclusive community proposed here is functional not contemplative theoretical. Human inclusive community has always been a dynamic force and has social implications which cannot all be covered by this study. / Systematic Theology / D. Th. (Systematic Theology)

Por meio de estudo bibliográfico e de investigação empírica (que deu voz a pessoas envolvidas na temática da inclusão laboral, sejam fiscalizadores da lei, agentes públicos, consultores renomados ou trabalhadores com deficiência intelectual) constatou-se que as barreiras atitudinais são responsáveis pela baixa efetividade das cotas para pessoas com deficiência intelectual. A partir dessa constatação, a pesquisa tece considerações sobre a necessidade de interpretação da lei conforme princípios do paradigma da inclusão social. Tais princípios foram trazidos para o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro pela Convenção da Organização das Nações Unidas sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência e são um dos meios jurídicos capazes de mitigar os problemas encontrados, viabilizando a dignidade do trabalhador com deficiência. / By means of a bibliographical study and in depth investigation (which has given people a chance for expression in regards to labor inclusion, whether they are Law supervisors, public agents, renowned consultants or workers with intellectual disability), it has been certain that the attitude barriers are responsible for the low numbers in hiring people who are intellectually disabled. From this point on, this research shall deal with relevant considerations regarding the need for the law interpretation in accordance with the social inclusion paradigm. Such principles have been brought to the Brazilian juridical system by the United Nations´ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and represent a juridical means able to soften the existing problems, bringing to those employees with disabilities their due dignity.

The issue reveals the confluence of several subjects, including the repercussion in the Law fields, causing rare situations until now. This present study aims to approach the euthanasia theme under the legalcriminal optics. For this, will be initially considered the questions related to life and death and the conceptual changes occurred in the last decades, passing to the contextualization of different ways of euthanasia used by scholars and their application from the optics of comparative law. Continuous act, will be performed an analysis of the bioethical principles (justice, charity, nonmaleficence and autonomy) and the balance between the right to a dignified death, derived from human dignity, and the right to life, both with constitutional base. The research is finalized with a study legal-criminal, under the spectrum of Federal Constitution and the Penal Code, from the various euthanistic modalities. / O permanente avanço da medicina tem ampliado constantemente a discussão sobre a transição que divide a vida e a morte.

No longer considering the denial of protection to intangible rights, against the imperative command coming from the art. 5 ? of our highest law, relevant to items V and X. Overlooking these emerge with precision, those rights of personality. Innocuous have been isolated attempts of the opposition to this constitutional protection. Deny it, or rather to restrict it, as it has done insignificant part of the doctrine and isolated judgmental pronouncements, no longer prove appropriate. Today, more than before, there is pointed out that if the human being has personal rights acquired from the design, adding to this other identity elements that allow the projection of a particular social personality. Such rights, it is worth mentioning, there are bases on the principle of human dignity that is considered general provision for the protection of personality. Based on the demonstration of this fact, after climbing into the general theory of personal rights and demonstrate the legal protection that has been present in his favor, it is hoped will, general objective, to show the effectiveness of this constitutional protection. At that point, will be reserved for special to the procedural tools that it has made a decisive contribution to the realization and effectiveness of the rights of the personality, a reality that must be imposed for the benefit of the dignity of the human person, presented here as basic foundation of the Democratic State of Law. The brazilian legal system provides the normative basis needed to provide an adequate protection to personality, from the general clause of the protection of the personality. For the achievement of its effectiveness, however, is an important update methodological and cultural of the Right as well as an effective deployment of public policies and private ensuring a better quality of life for citizens / J? se ousa assegurar que a Constitui??o da Rep?blica de 1988 consolidou os direitos da personalidade.

Deles emergem sobranceiros, com induvidosa precis?o, esses direitos da personalidade. In?cuas t?m sido as isoladas tentativas de oposi??o a essa prote??o constitucional.

The aim of this work is to find out the attitude of the students from the medical intermediate schools in České Budějovice and Ústí nad Labem about the dignity of man. The information is taken from the philosophical position of Dominik Pecka. Despite the rapid development of society, science and technology it is important to remember the value of man in common life. Human dignity as incommutable meaning has its impact, and maintaining that understanding is of benefit in helping professions such as social services and healthcare. The asset of this diploma work is to provide educators, primarily of the Intermediate Medical School, with a useful tool to help students understand and critic human ethics and develop an ethical empathy among student regarding man{\crq}s dignity. Using student respondents as the survey sample can help teachers understand contemporary students. The charted data can further serve for self-reflection of one's own behavior, persuasion and knowledge of matters in the ethical sphere.
