To reach this aim we sought to establish the proper connections among the three axes that we consider of extreme importance that are: The social issue, which according to our point of view is the central element of the relation between the profession of Social Work and the reality, considering that the object of work of the social worker deals with social issues in their multiple expressions; The Social Work as a profession registered in the social and technical division of work and the social assistant in the condition of an employee that, as any other worker, has to; sell his work force to survive, The entrepreneurial social responsibility understood as a management strategy used by the enterprises that in search of social legitimization use strategies that can embody new dimensions to their businesses, in other words, the social responsibility as part of an entrepreneurial rationality to keep itself in the globalized market. So, through these axis and the individuals testimonies (managers and social workers) who develop their profession in Mato Grosso enterprises, we try to develop this study, that is, the analysis of the social worker s performance in the practices of entrepreneurial social responsibility in Mato Grosso / Esta tese tem o objetivo de analisar a atuação do assistente social nas ações de responsabilidade social desenvolvidas pelas empresas de Mato Grosso. Para alcançarmos este objetivo buscamos estabelecer as devidas conexões entre os três eixos que consideramos de importância fundamental, e que são: - A questão social que, no nosso entendimento, se constitui em elemento central da relação entre a profissão de Serviço Social e a realidade, considerando que o objeto de trabalho do assistente social é a questão social nas suas múltiplas expressões; - A profissão de Serviço Social, enquanto profissão inscrita na divisão social e técnica do trabalho e o assistente social na condição de trabalhador assalariado que, como qualquer outro trabalhador, tem que vender a sua força de trabalho para sobreviver; - a responsabilidade social empresarial entendida como estratégia de gestão utilizada pelas empresas que em busca de legitimação social lançam mão de estratégias que venham incorporar novas dimensões aos seus negócios. Em outras palavras, a responsabilidade social como parte da racionalidade empresarial para manter-se no mercado globalizado. Assim, a partir desses eixos e dos depoimentos dos sujeitos (gestores e assistentes sociais) que desenvolvem sua atuação profissional em empresas no Estado de Mato Grosso, buscamos desenvolver o estudo proposto, ou seja, a análise da atuação do assistente social nas ações de responsabilidade social empresarial em Mato Grosso

It's goal was to realize how the female identity was built in it's original family and how they live their woman function in their present family. The specific goals were: to think about principIes in the construction of the female identity, how women notice themselves. The interest by this text came because of mothers'complaint about their lives. They must work to survive and after that they need to do a lot of housework at home. Four mothers with children between 5 and 10 years old participated in this research. They were alphabetized and hired. They were from 22 and 42 years old. The method used was based in the qualitative research. Under the focus of social constructionism those assumptions were derived from conversational exchan,ges in which meanings are socially constructed and language is understood in its active character is considered a social practice, constituent of the reality. To achieve the objective instruments were used such as: History Life, Reflection Group, Focal Group. It is showed as results work overload, insufficient wages to keep family and answer the unexpected even:ts of life. They work in their jobs for 46 hours per week and then for doing housework they spend, on average, 20 hours per week. These data are in accordance with Brazilian demographic surveys. It was also showed by the survey the lack of dialogue with their original family about sex education. They know that they are doing the same with their children / A pesquisa foi realizada em uma ONG localizada em uma cidade no centro-oeste do Estado de São Paulo. Teve como objetivo compreender como foi construída a identidade feminina na família de origem por um grupo de mulheres e como elas vivenciam seu papel de mulher na família atual. Os objetivos específicos foram: refletir sobre os valores envolvidos na construção da identidade feminina; como as mulheres percebem a si mesmas. O interesse pelo tema surgiu a partir das queixas de cansaço e de tensão enunciados por mães que iam buscar seus filhos na ONG, ap6s o trabalho no espaço publico. Além das horas dedicadas ao trabalho remunerado iam, em seguida, para suas casas executar os afazeres domésticos. Participaram da pesquisa quatro mães com filhos entre 5 a 10 anos de idade, alfabetizadas, assalariadas. A idade delas ficou num intervalo entre 22 a 42 anos. O método utilizado baseou-se na pesquisa qualitativa. A base epistemológica foi o construcionismo social com seus pressupostos derivados das trocas conversacionais em que os significados são construídos socialmente e a linguagem e entendida em seu carácter ativo sendo considerada uma pratica social, constituinte da realidade. Para atingir o objetivo foram usados instrumentos: entrevistas individuais e grupais. Com estes instrumentos foram construídas as atividades grupais: História de Vida, Grupo Reflexivo e Grupo Focal. Apontam-se como resultados do cansaço a sobrecarga de trabalho, os salários insuficientes para manterem a família e atenderem os acontecimentos inesperados da vida. Trabalham em seus empregos durante 46 horas semanais, em media. Para os afazeres domésticos empregam 20 horas semanais, em media. Tais dados estão em conformidade com os levantamentos demográficos brasileiros. Constatou-se que seus parceiros dedicam momentos aleatórios para os afazeres domésticos. Elas aprenderam, em suas famílias de origem, as habilidades de donas de casa e o valor que se deve dar ao trabalho remunerado. Outro resultado apontado pela pesquisa consiste na falta de dialogo com sua família de origem sobre as questões de educação da sexualidade. Reconhecem que estão reproduzindo com os filhos e filhas semelhante educação

In this paper the reader will become familiar with this social issue through a vast bibliographical review of the Science of Anthroposophy, based on the works of its pioneer, Rudolf Steiner, and other anthroposophers who follow his ideas. In addition, other authors here are presented as they also relate to this social issue, but who have convergent ideas from the ones found in Anthroposophy. Furthermore, a case study is presented, which was conducted by the Community Association of Monte Azul, a socially responsible organization that has its foundation on the Science of Anthroposophy. This is to provide relevant facts of this biography organizational, with emphasis on the action of the founder of this social work, Ute Craemer Else Ludovic, as well as a documentary analysis of Participatory Planning, from 2009 to 2013, with all the social and community programs of this Association, spread over three different cores covered: Monte Azul, Peinha and Horizonte Azul, and also with exposure to the vision of the future and the objectives of each program. For the composition of the case study, a research was conducted with two groups of respondents, both from Monte Azul Community Association: strategic group, of goals, and leadership group or support, of coordinators. The findings from the data allowed for a categorical thematic analysis, which shows the indicators of research for each question, as well as the correlation of indicators into categories, and also comments from the analysis. As a result, it was observed that both the ethical issue and the issue of solidarity are referenced by the attitudes and behaviors described in the case study, in the interviewees' testemonials. The conclusion is done by means of a reflection on the initial problematic proposal / Esta Tese de Doutorado buscou a compreensão para o empreender de maneira ética e solidária, sob à ótica da Ciência da Antroposofia . Para tanto, este estudo discorre sobre a questão social, por meio de uma vasta revisão bibliográfica da Ciência da Antroposofia, a partir da obra de seu precursor, Rudolf Steiner, e demais antropósofos, que seguiram suas concepções. Igualmente, são apresentados, outros autores que se relacionam com a questão social e que, de alguma forma, discutem ideias convergentes, àquelas propostas e fundamentadas na Antroposofia. Para aprofundar a problemática apresenta-se um Estudo de Caso, desenvolvido na Associação Comunitária Monte Azul, que é uma organização fundamentada na Ciência da Antroposofia e que tem finalidade social. Trata-se de oferecer fatos relevantes desta biografia organizacional, com ênfase, na ação da fundadora deste trabalho social, Ute Else Ludovic Craemer, bem como, uma análise documental do Planejamento Participativo, do período 2009 a 2013, com todos os programas sociais e comunitários da Associação, distribuídos por três diferentes núcleos de abrangência: Monte Azul, Peinha e Horizonte Azul e, também, com a exposição da visão de futuro e os objetivos de cada programa. Para a composição do estudo de caso foi realizada uma pesquisa com dois grupos de entrevistados, ambos da Associação Comunitária Monte Azul: grupo estratégico, de metas e grupo de liderança ou de apoio, de coordenadoras. Os dados resultantes da coleta das informações possibilitaram a análise categorial temática, que mostra os indicadores da pesquisa para cada questão, bem como a correlação dos indicadores em categorias e também os comentários da análise. Como resultados foi possível observar que tanto a questão ética quanto a questão solidária são referenciadas por meio das atitudes e dos comportamentos descritos no estudo de caso, nos depoimentos dos entrevistados.

For that, interviews were conducted with a semi-structured script with 21 relatives of prisoners, 6 servers of the court, 1 magistrate and 1 director of the chain, involved in the service. The presentation of the theoretical reference explained through the socio-political-economic dimensions the penitentiary issue under the bias of criminal execution, provided for in the Law on Criminal Executions and the contradictions existing in the prison context. Through the survey of ordinances, judicial decisions, laws, photographic collection, list of attended, graphs, tables and pictures, the scenario of the prison unit was investigated. In this investigative process 8 categories of analysis were created: Judiciary Power; The attendance; Results of care; Conflict in prison; Relatives in the prisoner's life; The State through social and penitentiary policies; The family; and, the prisoner. In the chapter for the conclusions, the main analyzes of this research were presented, which consisted mainly of the consequences of the State's gaps, caused by the absence or insufficiency of policies for the prison population, in addition to the problems of the prison system. A set of critical reflections was presented based on the results of the research, considering the theoretical framework, the verbal productions of the interviewees and the field observations. And, from a utopian critical perspective, with a humanistic bias, the objective was to identify the potential of care in relation to the demands of family members and to confront the penitentiary issue, presenting the need for practices aimed at harm reduction as a form of resistance to actions that violate the rights and human dignity of prisoners and relatives, aiming at the future aspirations of the extinction of prison in society. / O objetivo da presente pesquisa consistiu na identificação de ―Boas Práticas‖ no atendimento realizado pelo Juizado da Cadeia Pública de Porto Alegre, dirigido aos familiares dos presos, bem como desvelar a capacidade de enfrentamento ou apaziguamento da situação penitenciária sob a luz das categorias regulação e emancipação. Para isso, foram realizadas entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado com 21 familiares dos presos, 6 servidores do juizado, 1 magistrado e 1 diretor da Cadeia, envolvidos no atendimento. A apresentação do referencial teórico explicou através das dimensões sócio-político-econômicas a questão penitenciária sob o viés da execução penal, prevista na Lei de Execuções Penais e as contradições existentes no contexto prisional. Por meio do levantamento de portarias, decisões judiciais, leis, acervo fotográfico, lista de atendidos, gráficos, tabelas e quadros, demonstrou-se o cenário da unidade prisional pesquisada. Neste processo investigatório foram criadas 8 categorias de análises: Poder Judiciário; O atendimento; Resultados do atendimento; Os conflitos na prisão; Os familiares na vida do preso; O Estado através das políticas sociais e penitenciárias; A família; e, O preso. No capítulo destinado às conclusões apresentou-se as principais análises desta pesquisa, as quais consistiram, sobretudo, nas consequências das lacunas do Estado, causadas pela ausência ou insuficiência das políticas para a população carcerária, somadas aos problemas do sistema prisional. Na sequência apresentou-se um conjunto de reflexões críticas com base nos resultados da pesquisa, considerando o arcabouço teórico, as produções verbais dos entrevistados e as observações de campo. E, sob a perspectiva crítica utópica, com viés humanístico, buscou-se identificar a potencialidade do atendimento em relação às demandas dos familiares e ao enfrentamento da questão penitenciária, apresentando a necessidade de práticas com vistas à redução de danos, como forma de resistência as ações que ferem os direitos e a dignidade humana dos presos e familiares, visando as aspirações futuras da extinção da prisão na sociedade.

L’objet de la présente étude est de comprendre comment une entité sociale devient partie prenante d’une entreprise. En effet, les différentes méthodes de détermination des parties prenantes sont critiquées sur leur portée heuristique. Une de ces nombreuses difficultés est leur incapacité à dire "qui" est partie prenante et "qui" ne l’est. Pour le dire autrement, la théorie des parties prenantes manque d’un critère de falsifiabilité. Dès lors, comprendre le processus par lequel une entité devient partie prenante revient implicitement à admettre que cette dernière au préalable ne l’est pas. De ce fait, étudier le processus par lequel un groupe d’individus devient partie prenante d’une entreprise revient à énoncer un critère de falsification puisqu’il devient possible de dire comment être partie prenante comment ne pas l’être. Telle est la problématique générale de ce projet de recherche.Pour comprendre ce processus, la réflexion part donc du postulat qu’une catégorie ne "nait" pas partie prenante mais le devient. La phase empirique de cette recherche repose sur une enquête multi cas. Trois entreprises sont étudiées. Les données traitées selon une analyse de contenu parviennent à faire ressortir une conception de l’entreprise comme nœud de quatre liens. Ces liens sont : un lien partenarial, un lien juridico-politique, un lien commercial et un lien sociétal. Selon le lien par lequel un individu ou un groupe d’individus est lié à l’organisation, il-cet individu- endosse un rôle particulier.Les personnes liées à l’entreprise par un lien partenarial sont des partenaires ou des contractants. Les individus liés à l’entreprise par le lien marchand sont des clients. Le lien juridico-politique met une personne en relation avec l’entreprise via des institutions judiciaires ou politiques. Les individus liés à l’entreprise par le lien sociétal sont des parties prenantes. Tout rôle étant provisoire, alors les individus sont provisoirement des parties prenantes. Le processus par lequel un groupe d’individus peut devenir partie prenante débute par la survenue d’un élément à enjeu (décision, comportement organisationnel). Le processus est aléatoire, imprévisible, contextuel et temporaire puisque tout acte de l’entreprise ne suscite pas de mobilisations. / The purpose of this study is to understand how a social entity becomes a stakeholder. The various methods of determining the stakeholders are criticized on their heuristic value. One of these problems is their inability to say "who" is a stakeholder and "who" is not. In other words, the stakeholder theory lacks a criterion of falsifiability. Therefore, understanding the process by which an entity becomes a stakeholder means that this entity is not a priori a stakeholder. Consequently, studying the process by which a group of individuals becomes a stakeholder of a company returns to state a criterion of falsification. This is the general problem of this research.To understand this process, it is said that any group cannot be considered at beginning as a stakeholder but it can become a stakeholder. The empirical phase is based on a multiple- case study. Three companies are studied. The study reveals three main results. First, the firm is seen as a four-relationship node. Second, all parties cannot be consider as stakeholders. Finally, according to the link through which an individual or group of individuals is related to the organization, it assumes a special role. These links are: the partnership relationship, the legal-political relationship, the commercial relationship and the societal relationship. Persons related to the company by a partnership relationship are partners. Individuals related to the company by the commercial relationship are clients. The legal and political relationship puts a person in connection with the company through legal or political institutions. Individuals related to the company by the societal relationship are stakeholders.The process by which a group of individuals can become stakeholders begins with the occurrence of an element in issue (decision, organizational behavior). The process is random, unpredictable, and temporary because any decision of a company do not cause mobilizations.

The thesis deals with the issues that are tied with reading and mathematical literacy. The literacy is being considered by solved exrcises at the second grade of elementary school. The purpose of this work is to bring nearer the connectedness between reading literacy and other subjects - in this case mainly math. The work is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the theory, in which there is outline of the description of reading and mathematical literacy, verbal exercises and what is the function of working sheets. The second part is practical. There are put created working sheets with chosen topics from math, which were given to the pupils at the elementary school. The cooperation with pupils wihtin filling the working sheets can be also found in this thesis. The analysis of this literacy and processes of solving are attached in the end.

20世紀因民族主義的興起，間接地促成了世界上許多地區性的民族開始爭取獨立，其中包括科索沃、阿布哈茲與南奧塞提亞。然而，在90年代共產勢力瓦解時期，此三區域因為歷史地位的關係並未獨立成功，而開始與各自的宗主國持續發生衝突。爾後，世界強權與國際組織介入處理此三區域的問題，卻因為國際法缺乏一致性規範的情況下，使得問題一直無法有效解決，反而淪為世界強權勢力擴張的棋子。因此，儘管科索沃、阿布哈茲與南奧塞提亞的獨立條件相似，最後卻因為不同的支持勢力而產生不同的獨立結果。獨立後，此三區域也將面臨一些難題。 關鍵字：科索沃、阿布哈茲、南奧塞提亞、國際法、獨立議題 / The emergence of Nationalism in the 20th century indirectly promoted the fight for independence of many regional races around the world, including Kosovo, Abkhazia and South Oss- etia. However, during the collapse of communist forces in the 1990s, these three regions failed in becoming independ- ent due to their historical status, and conflicts with their Metropolitan State persisted. The world powers and international organizations hence intervened in an attempt to solve the problems. Nevertheless, without consistency in the norms of international law, the issues could not be unr- aveled effectively, but rather became a tool abused by the world powers for territory expansion. Consequently,although Kosovo, Abkhazia and South Ossetia's had similar conditions for independence, the outcomes were different as they each had different supporting powers. Eventually, these three regions will also face challenges afterg aining independen- ce. Key words: Kosovo, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, international law, independence issue

<p>From long ago, rivers have always sustained livelihoods of the peoples through the utilisation of different natural resources available in the basin. All over the world, many rivers have been dammed in the spirit of performing various purposes: agricultural irrigation, domestic water supply and power generation or flood control.</p><p>By the year 2001, the World Commission on Dams brought into focus the debate on damrelated impacts on local economies, societal cultures, livelihoods security and environmental conservation. The outcome of the World Commission on Dams consultation strongly recommended the governments to involve all stakeholders to address appropriately all issues associated with dams.</p><p>The overall focus of this master thesis is the projected Rusumo Falls dam in the Kagera River Basin (East Africa). Based on literature documentation completed by on-ground observations and qualitative interviews at Rusumo, various issues connected with the dam are presented.</p><p>In the first part, the Kagera River Basin background information is provided. It gives an overview of the physical and human characteristics of the Kagera watershed and subcatchments. A brief history and socio-economic indicators are given to enlighten the outsiders about the development challenges of the riparian countries of Burundi, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. Regional frameworks for the development and management of Kagera Basin natural resources are presented: The Kagera Basin Organisation and the Nile Basin Initiative.</p><p>Section two analyses the likely social problems around the Rusumo Hydro Electric Project resulting from the land issue and the electricity needs and posing a dilemma for the governments committed to reverse the poverty and developing the economies. Benefits and drawbacks of the dam as perceived by the beneficiaries are thoroughly listed.</p><p>Based on the overwhelming supports from the Rusumo people, the governments of Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania together with the international community, a public participation scenario is suggested in the last chapter. It encourages the governments to come together with all interested groups and the affected people of Rusumo and address any matters associated to the dam management process.</p><p>The conclusion of this study draws some strategies and methods to ensure full popular participation in the dam management. It provides some ways to involve all stakeholders to address the related issues. As the Rusumo people perceptions of the dam possible effects might not be realistic, the popular participation can offer them a good opportunity to handle socio-economic problems such as the land issue, the economy restructure and the nature conservation. In this case study, the government of Rwanda is therefore responsible for the establishment of platforms for a broad popular consultation.</p>
