Participaram do estudo 43 idosos institucionalizados, divididos em três grupos: Grupo de Atividade Física (GAF), Grupo Controle (GCT) e Grupo de Convívio Social (GCS). Os participantes foram caracterizados quanto à idade, escolaridade e funções cognitivas, não apresentando diferenças significativas. O GAF atendeu a um programa de atividade física regular, durante 6 meses, com freqüência de 3 sessões semanais de 60 minutos. O GCS atendeu a um programa de atividades de entretenimento. Todos os participantes responderam à Escala para Depressão em Geriatria (GDS) e ao Questionário Baecke Modificado para Idosos (QBMI), antes (pré) e após (pós) as intervenções. Os resultados foram interpretados por meio da ANOVA de medidas repetidas, com nível de significância de p<0,05. Foi encontrada interação entre grupos e momentos, sendo também constatada correlação moderada e significativa entre as variáveis. Apenas o GAF e o GCS apresentaram influência positiva para sintomas depressivos, enquanto o GCT apresentou aumento dos mesmos. Para nível de atividade física somente o GAF apresentou um incremento. Com tais resultados conclui-se que, em idosos institucionalizados; a) baixos níveis de atividade física podem ser um fator de risco para sintomas depressivos; b) programas de atividade física ou de contatos sociais são aptos a reduzir sintomas depressivos; c) programas de atividade física parecem ser mais efetivos para aumentar o nível de atividade física e contrapor-se a sintomas depressivos comparado com programas de convívio social sem atividade física; d) o não envolvimento com programas de atividade física ou de contato social aumenta o risco para sintomas depressivos. / The objective of the present study was to verify the influence of a program of regular physical activity on depressive symptoms and level of physical activity in institutionalized older people. Forty-three institutionalized older people were assigned to three groups: Physical Activity Group (PAG), Control Group (CTG) and Social Contact Group (SCG). Chronological age, instruction level) and cognitive functions did not show any statistical significant difference among the groups. The PAG carried out a 6-month program of regular and generalized physical activity, three 60-minute sessions per week. The SCG carried out a program of entertainment activities. The participants answered the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the Baecke Questionnaire Modified for Elderly (BQME), both before and after the interventions. The results were analyzed by means of ANOVA of repeated measures, to the level of significance p< 0,05. The ANOVA revealed an interaction between groups and moments. The PAG and SCG presented a reduction on depressive symptoms, while the CTG increased. In physical activity level the PAG increased. These results leads to the following conclusions, regarding institutionalized older people: a) lower levels of physical activity seem to be a risk factor for depressive symptoms; b) physical activity or social contacts programs are able to reduce depressive symptoms; c) physical activity programs seem to be more effective to foster physical activity levels and to counteract depressive symptoms compared to social contact programs with no physical activity and, d) no involvement in physical activity or social contact programs increases the risk for depressive symptoms.

However, when there are situations of risk and social vulnerability, children and adolescents are temporarily removed from their families and transferred to institutional care centers. In this scenario, this work aimed to know and analyze the social representation of family and shelter to institutionalized children. The Social Representation Theory (Moscovici, 1978) was used as theoretical support and this theory allows the individual to build a referential on a significant one that is on his everyday reality, interfering on his behavior. Thirteen institutionalized children aged between seven to twelve years old participated in the study. The following instruments were used: sociodemographic questionnaire, semi-structured interview, and Drawing-Story Technique. The sociodemographic data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, and the semi-structured interview and the drawing-story went through content analysis of the Bardin, 1977. The results shows that family is perceived as a group of people affectively linked, and living in the same place, and have conditions to guarantee its members basics need; The shelter was represented mostly as a place that guarantees children's basics need and leisure actives. In addition, the participants linked the shelter as an environment with attachments similar to a family environment, highlighting the presence of the foster care and other children as elements that brings to the shelter the image of family. The institution does not fully fill the idea of family, which generates ambivalent feelings and negative affections towards the shelter. It was also observed that the participants perceive the prejudice of society and are often represented by pejorative terms that interfere negatively in the construction of the children's self-image and social identity. As a conclusion, the results may bases new reflections to performing of practical interventions in institutionalized children. / RESUMO: A família se apresenta enquanto instituição sócio-histórica, sendo considerada o principal grupo social responsável pelo desenvolvimento do indivíduo. Porém, mediante situações de risco e vulnerabilidade social, crianças e adolescentes são temporariamente afastados do convívio familiar e encaminhados aos serviços de acolhimento institucional. Diante disso, este trabalho objetivou conhecer e analisar as representações sociais de crianças em situação de acolhimento institucional acerca da família e do abrigo. Utilizou-se como suporte teórico a Teoria das Representações Sociais (Moscovici, 1978), a qual permite que o indivíduo construa uma referência sobre determinado significante que faz parte da realidade cotidiana, interferindo nas suas condutas. Participaram da pesquisa 13 crianças acolhidas institucionalmente, com idade entre 07 e 12 anos. Na coleta utilizaram-se os seguintes instrumentos: questionário sociodemográfico, entrevista semiestruturada e a Técnica Desenho-Estória. Os dados sociodemográficos foram analisados através de estatística descritiva, a entrevista semiestruturada e o Desenho-Estória através da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). Os resultados indicaram que as crianças representaram a família como um grupo de pessoas ligadas afetivamente, convivendo no mesmo espaço e com condições para garantir os cuidados básicos de seus membros; já o abrigo foi representado majoritariamente enquanto local que garante os cuidados materiais e de lazer das crianças. Percebeu-se, ainda, que os participantes ancoraram a representação do abrigo em um ambiente com laços afetivos próximos aos familiares, destacando a presença da cuidadora e das outras crianças acolhidas como elementos que remetem o abrigo à imagem da família, embora se possa verificar que a instituição não preenche totalmente a ideia de família, o que gera sentimentos ambivalentes e afetos negativos em relação ao abrigo. Observou-se, também, que os participantes percebem o preconceito da sociedade, sendo frequentemente representados através de termos pejorativos, fato que interfere negativamente na construção da autoimagem e na identidade social dessas crianças. Acredita-se, portanto, que os resultados encontrados sirvam tanto para novas reflexões como para realização de intervenções práticas frente à população de crianças em situação de acolhimento.

This study aimed to evaluate an intervention program with group physical exercises in the prevention of falls in elderly living at long-term care institutions (LTCI). This is a non-randomized clinical trial, conducted with 20 elderly people of both sexes, residents in two LTCI in Goiânia, Brazil. The interventions were based on previous studies and occurred three times a week for a period of 18 weeks, totaling 40 sessions of group exercises, lasting about two hours each one, in which warm-up exercises were performed, muscle strength, balance, flexibility and relaxation. Standardized measures were used to assess falls (self-reports of participants), balance and gait (Performance - Oriented Mobility Assessment - POMA - Brazil), muscular strength (Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer and 30 second chair stand test), flexibility (Goniometer commuting – Fleximeter and Chair sit-and-reach test), fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale - International - FES I - Brazil). After a period of twelve months from the beginning of the intervention the decrease in the number of falls was significant (p = 0.046). Significant differences were observed for POMA-Equilibrium (p = 0.001), POMA-Total (p = 0.007), muscular strength of hand grip (p = 0.001) and lower limbs (p<0.001), flexibility of the bending motion of the shoulders (p = 0.001). The intervention by a physical exercises program proved to be adequate to improve balance, muscle strength of lower and upper limbs, shoulder flexibility, helping to significantly decrease the number of falls among elderly participants, but not enough to improve gait and multiple joint flexibility of spine and hip, as well as to reduce the number of elderly who suffered falls from the beginning of the intervention program. / As quedas em idosos constituem um problema de saúde pública em todo o mundo, pois são importante causa de morbidade e mortalidade entre pessoas dessa faixa etária. Assim, é necessário que os profissionais de saúde desenvolvam intervenções para prevenir essa ocorrência. Este estudo teve como objetivo geral avaliar um programa de intervenção com exercícios físicos em grupo para prevenir quedas em idosos residentes em instituições de longa permanência (ILPI). Trata-se de um ensaio clínico não randomizado realizado com 20 idosos de ambos os sexos, moradores em duas ILPI na cidade de Goiânia, Brasil. As intervenções ocorreram três vezes por semana, por um período de 18 semanas, totalizando 40 sessões de exercícios em grupo, cada uma delas com duração aproximada de 2 horas, nas quais foram realizados exercícios de aquecimento, força muscular, equilíbrio, flexibilidade e relaxamento. Medidas padronizadas foram utilizadas para avaliar quedas (autorrelato dos participantes), equilíbrio e marcha (Performance – Oriented Mobility Assessment – POMA – Brasil), força muscular (Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer e 30 segundos chair stand test), flexibilidade (Goniômetro pendular - Flexímetro e Chair sit-and-reach test) e medo de quedas (Escala de Eficácia de Quedas – Internacional –FES – I – Brasil). A partir do período de doze meses do início da intervenção, houve redução significativa (p = 0,046) no número de quedas. Foram observadas diferenças significantes para POMA-Equilíbrio (p = 0,001), POMA-Total (p = 0,007), força muscular de preensão palmar (p = 0,001) e de membros inferiores (p < 0,001) e flexibilidade do movimento de flexão dos ombros (p = 0,001). A intervenção realizada mediante um programa de exercícios físicos mostrou-se adequada para melhorar equilíbrio, força muscular de membros superiores e inferiores e flexibilidade de ombro, contribuindo para redução significativa do número de quedas entre os idosos participantes do estudo, porém não suficiente para melhorar a marcha e a flexibilidade multiarticular da coluna e quadril, bem como para reduzir o número de idosos que sofreram quedas a partir do início do programa de intervenção.

This research studies friendship relationships in institutionalized children according to friendship’s quality and reciprocity. The participants were 33 institutionalized children (boys and girls), whose age range was 8 to 10. The control group consisted of 41 noninstitutionalized children with similar characteristics. Results show that institutionalized children have less reciprocal friendships than non-institutionalized children. Institutionalized children give more support and share the ir intimate experienc es in their reciprocal friendships than non-institutionalized children. Moreover, friendship quality of non-reciprocal friendships in the institutionalized group is almost equivalent to reciprocal and non-reciprocal friendships in the non-institutionalized one. This evidence shows that the majority of institutionalized children establish friendship bonds with similar characteristics, as do other children of the same age range. / El estudio evalúa las relaciones de amistad en niños institucionalizados en términos de su calidad y reciprocidad. Los participantes fueron 33 niños institucionalizados de ambos sexos entre 8 y 10 años. El grupo control estuvo constituido por 41 niños no institucionalizados con características similares. Se encontró que los niños institucionalizados establecen menos amistades recíprocas que los niños no institucionalizados y que en  estas relaciones se brindan más apoyo y comparten sus experiencias íntimas de modo más intenso. Igualmente, la calidad de las amistades no recíprocas de este grupo es casi equivalente a la de las amistades recíprocas y no recíprocas del grupo no institucionalizado. Esto indicaría que la mayoría de niños institucionalizados establece en general amistades con calidad similar a las de otros niños del mismo grupo de edad.

This essay seeks to understand the possible reasons behind the high rates of non-white ethnic minorities, such as the Somali-Swedish community among hospitalized Covid-19 patients in Sweden. It interrogates the possibility of a White middle-class bias in the Swedish government and the National Pandemic Group’s management of the covid-19 crisis. I analyze data from daily press conferences held by the National Pandemic Group and public statements from government and national pandemic group representatives regarding updates in the management of the covid-19 crisis. In analyzing these statements, focus has been on assessing the risk analysis and citizen recommendations presented to the public by the national pandemic group. Results show that the specific vulnerabilities of ethnic minorities and the socio-economic inequalities between majority White Swedes and ethnic minorities has not been taken under much consideration by the Swedish government or the national pandemic group, which can be interpreted as resulting from a white middle class bias. The conclusions of this essay show that this may have contributed to the high rates of Swedish-Somalis and other ethnic groups such as the Iraqi-Swedes and Turkish-Swedes among hospitalized Covid-19 patients. This might have been prevented, had the Swedish government acknowledged and acted upon the socio-economic inequalities between different social groups.

Over the past three decades, interest in the topic of Business Incubation and more specifically University Business Incubation, has increased, due to its potential to encourage entrepreneurial activities, which initiate innovation and economic development. The literature on entrepreneurship devotes significant attention to BI as a tool for supporting entrepreneurs in overcoming difficulties associated with starting a business. Meanwhile, the fact that incubators themselves are vulnerable to different challenges needs to be sufficiently highlighted in the research currently in publication. By adopting an incubator’s perspective on developing entrepreneurs and, therefore, its dynamics that form new ventures, this qualitative study has focused on difficulties adjacent to the administration of the incubator. By building on the Black Box model of incubation, the Triad model, as well as Institutionalized entrepreneurship, the researchers have contributed to the phenomena of UBIs, and the many challenges they encounter when incubating business tenants. The thesis has successfully confirmed the inherent value of ensuring the financial viability of publicly financed incubators while shedding light on the challenges involved in achieving self-sufficiency. This examination has delved into the acquisition of government funds by incubators and explored the opportunities and constraints accompanying such support. Building on existing literature, which identifies sustainability and growth as key indicators, this study has provided empirical evidence and analysis that underscores the detrimental impact on the incubator's core mission when these criteria are not maintained.
