Les organisations publiques engagées dans une démarche qualité font face à la difficile conciliation des logiques bureaucratiques et managériales. Les collectivités territoriales n’échappent pas à ce phénomène. Les managers territoriaux s’y trouvent confrontés alors même qu’ils se trouvent aujourd’hui face à des exigences d’efficience à la fois de la part de l’Etat et des usagers. Ce contexte ajouté à celui de la spécificité organisationnelle et culturelle des collectivités territoriales en démarche Qualiville, met en tension la socialisation organisationnelle des fonctionnaires territoriaux concernés.Ainsi le rôle et les caractéristiques du management sont questionnés au travers d’une recherche tant théorique qu’empirique s’appuyant notamment sur l'étude de cas approfondie d'une collectivité dont l'ensemble des services a obtenu la certification. / Public organizations involved in a quality approach face the difficult conciliation of bureaucratic and managerial logics. Local governments especially municipalities, are not immune to this phenomenon. Territorial managers are confronted to this challenge while they now have to deal with requirements of efficiency both from the States and from the citizens. This context added to that of the organizational and cultural specificity of territorial of local authorities in the Qualiville process, puts a strain on the organizational socialization of territorial officials. Thusthe role and characteristics of management are questioned through both theorical and empirical research, based in particular on the in-depth case study of a municipality whose services have been certified.

Title: Comparison of the quality of life of persons diagnosed with intervertebral disc herniation in relation to surgical and conservative treatment. Objectives: The aim of the diploma thesis was the research and evaluation of the quality of life in patients with intervertebral disc lesion with and without surgery, assuming that both monitored groups will be treated with individual rehabilitation treatment. Methods: This research was conducted using a standardized Short Form 36 (SF - 36) questionnaire on quality of life that is conditional to health. The study was conducted at Na Homolce Hospital in a rehabilitation clinic, where appropriate respondents (n = 117) were selected for this research. The group included 59 respondents who underwent surgery and 58 treated conservatively. The survey was attended by respondents aged 27-86. The final results were divided into both health, physical and psychological dimensions in both groups. Two-choice tests were used to compare. For all domains, the assumption of the normal distribution of the two compared selections was rejected, which precluded the use of the two-t-test. For domains where there was no assumption of homogeneity of scattering, the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare. For domains where the assumption of homogeneity was rejected, a Median...

Background: Financial constraints challenge evidence of the effectiveness of dermatological inpatient management. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of hospitalization in atopic dermatitis and psoriasis regarding initial and sustained benefits. Methods: Prospective study on adults with psoriasis vulgaris (n = 22) and atopic dermatitis (n = 14). At admission, discharge, and 3 months after discharge, validated outcomes of objective and subjective disease severity were assessed by trained investigators. Results: Hospitalization resulted in substantial benefit in quality of life and clinical disease severity. Looking at mean scores, the observed benefit appeared stable until 3-month follow-up. The analysis of individual patient data revealed significant changes in disease severity between discharge and 3-month follow-up with some patients relapsing, others further improving. Reasons for hospitalization and treatment performed were not related to sustained benefit. Conclusions: In psoriasis vulgaris and atopic dermatitis, hospitalization effectively improved quality of life and clinical disease severity. Further research should focus on prognostic factors for sustained improvement. / Dieser Beitrag ist mit Zustimmung des Rechteinhabers aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw.

Over the last two decades, several studies have revealed the presence of olfactory disorders (OD) following moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Specifically, previous authors have shown that, following a TBI, several patients had quantitative (hyposmia/anosmia) and qualitative (parosmia) loss of sense of smell in important proportions. For moderate and severe TBI, the presence of such disorders, following trauma, is usually due to a coup-contrecoup mechanism responsible for the shearing of olfactory nerves penetrating the cribriform plate or to contusions or secondary hemorrhages within the olfactory bulb and cortical olfactory areas. Since these types of TBI cause obvious lesions, it was relatively simple to understand the nature of such disorders as well as identify the patients at risk of developing olfactory losses. A close follow-up of these patients is necessary since different studies have demonstrated associations between OD following TBI and long-term development of mood (depression, anxiety). Patients developing OD following moderate to severe TBI exhibited more symptoms of anxiety and depression for several weeks following the trauma, when compared to patients without OD. On the other hand, there are only three studies that have investigated the presence of OD and their consequences in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), even though they represent nearly 85% of TBI. Moreover, due to the presence of several methodological flaws (choice of invalid evaluation tools, omission of a control group) a great heterogeneity regarding the proportion of mTBI patients who develop OD after the trauma, is found within the literature. So, the studies included in this thesis aim to give, with the establishment of a valid and controlled methodology, the very first idea of the proportion of patients with mTBI who will develop quantitative and qualitative OD. In addition, the predictive value of OD following mTBI on the development of anxiety and depressive symptoms and general health, is also covered in the manuscript. The first study aimed to assess the presence of olfactory disorders within the first 24 hours and one year after the mTBI. The results of this cross-sectional study demonstrated that, in the acute phase, more than half of the patients with mTBI exhibited a partial loss of their sense of smell (hyposmia). In fact, when compared to an orthopedic control group, the proportion of mTBI patients with OD following their accident was significantly higher. When evaluated one year after their mTBI, the patients did not have OD and no significant difference was found between control and mTBI groups. However, when comparing mTBI patients with OD (OD+) to those who did not present OD (OD-) at baseline, we found that OD+ mTBI patients reported significantly more anxiety and post-concussion symptoms, when evaluated one year following their trauma. The second study of this thesis aimed to deepen the results of the previous one, with the help of a larger group of patients, a longitudinal design as well as the implementation of new tools in order to evaluate a broader spectrum of post-concussive symptoms. In this study, olfaction and mood of patients with mTBI were evaluated 1 and 6 months following the trauma. The results show that, when compared to a group of control participants, a significantly high proportion of mTBI patients report a distortion of their olfaction (parosmia), 1 and 6 months following the trauma. In addition, the hierarchical regression analyzes indicate that, within the mTBI group, the presence of baseline parosmia significantly increases the value of the predictive model for the development of depression and anxiety. In conclusion, these two studies provided a much more accurate picture of the actual proportion of mTBI patients at risk of developing post-traumatic OD. Indeed, due to the numerous methodological controls applied, these results paint a more realistic portrait of the short and long term presence of OD following mTBI. Thus, these two projects have revealed alarming proportions, going far beyond what is recorded in the restricted literature available to date. In addition, it appears that baseline presence of qualitative OD following mTBI is a significant predictor of the development of symptoms of anxiety and depression. / Au cours des deux dernières décennies, plusieurs études ont révélé la présence de troubles olfactifs suite à des traumatismes crâniens (TCC) modérés et sévères. Spécifiquement, les précédents auteurs ont montré que, suite à leur TCC, plusieurs patients présentaient des pertes quantitative (hyposmie, anosmie) et qualitative (parosmie) de leur odorat. Dans le cas des TCC de types modérés et sévères, la présence de tels troubles est généralement causée par l’effet de coupcontre coup provoquant des lésions du nerf olfactif pénétrant dans la lame criblée de l’ethmoïde ainsi que par des contusions et des hémorragies au niveau du bulbe olfactif et des régions corticales traitant les stimuli olfactifs. En effet, puisque ces types de TCC provoquent des lésions assez apparentes, il a été facile de comprendre la nature de tels troubles ainsi que d’identifier les patients à risque de développer des pertes olfactives. Un suivi de ces patients est d’autant plus nécessaire puisque différentes études ont démontré des associations entre les pertes olfactives suite au TCC et la chronicisation de troubles de l’humeur (dépression, anxiété) et cognitifs. En effet, il a été démontré que, les patients développant des troubles olfactifs suite à un TCC modéré/sévère, présentaient davantage de symptômes d’anxiété et de dépression plusieurs semaines suite au trauma, lorsque comparés à des patients n’ayant pas de troubles olfactifs. En revanche, il n’y a que trois études qui ont, jusqu’à aujourd’hui, étudié la présence de troubles olfactifs et leurs conséquences auprès de patients ayant subi un traumatisme craniocérébral léger (TCCL), malgré le fait qu’ils représentent près de 85% des patients TCC. De plus, dû à la présence de plusieurs faiblesses méthodologiques dans les précédentes études (choix d’outils d’évaluation non valides, omission de groupe contrôle) une grande hétérogénéité, en ce qui a trait à la proportions de patient TCCL vivant avec un trouble olfactif, est retrouvée dans la littérature. Ainsi, les études composant le présent ouvrage visent globalement à évaluer, à l’aide d’une méthodologie valide et contrôlée, la réelle proportion de patients ayant subi un TCCL qui développeront un trouble olfactif. De plus, un regard sera posé sur les capacités prédictives de la présence de troubles olfactifs suite au TCCL sur le développement, à long terme, de symptômes anxieux et dépressifs. La première étude visait à évaluer la présence de troubles olfactifs dans les premières 24 heures et un an suite au TCCL. Les résultats de cette étude transversale, à caractère exploratoire, ont démontré que, en phase aiguë, plus de la moitié des patients ayant subi un TCCL présentaient une perte partielle de leur odorat (hyposmie). En effet, lorsque comparée à un groupe de patients contrôle, ayant subi une blessure orthopédique, la proportion de patients TCCL ayant un trouble olfactif suite à leur accident s’est révélée significativement plus élevée. Lorsqu’évalués un an suite à leur TCCL, les patients ne présentaient plus de troubles olfactifs et aucune différence significative ne fut retrouvée entre les patients TCCL et orthopédique. Cependant, lorsque nous avons comparé les patients TCCL qui, à l’évaluation initiale, présentaient un trouble olfactif (OD+) à ceux qui n’en présentaient pas (OD-) à l’évaluation initiale, nous avons trouvé que les patients TCCL OD+ rapportaient significativement plus de symptômes anxieux et post-commotionnels, lorsqu’évalués un an suite à leur trauma. La deuxième étude de cet ouvrage visait à approfondir les résultats de la précédente, à l’aide d’un plus grand groupe de patients, d’un devis longitudinal ainsi que l’implantation de nouveaux outils d’évaluation permettant d’évaluer un plus large spectre de symptômes post-commotionnels. Dans cette étude, l’olfaction et l’humeur des patients ayant subi un TCCL furent évaluées 1 et 6 mois suite au trauma. Les résultats montrent que, lorsque comparé à un groupe de participants contrôles, une proportion significativement élevée de patients TCCL rapporte avoir remarqué une distorsion de leur olfaction (parosmie), 1 et 6 mois suite au trauma. De plus, les analyses de régression hiérarchique indiquent qu’au sein du groupe de patients TCCL, la présence de parosmie au premier temps de mesure (court-terme) augmente significativement la valeur du modèle de prédiction de la présence de symptômes dépressifs et anxieux à long terme. En somme, ces deux études ont permis de dresser un portrait beaucoup plus précis de la réelle proportion de patients TCCL qui risquent de développer un trouble olfactif. En effet, grâce aux divers contrôles méthodologiques que nous avons appliqués, les présents résultats permettent de peindre un portrait plus réaliste de la présence, à court et long-terme, de troubles olfactifs suite à un TCCL. Ainsi, ces deux projets ont mis en lumière des proportions allant bien au-delà de ce qui est recensé dans le peu de littérature disponible à ce jour. De plus, il semble que la présence initiale de troubles olfactifs suite au TCCL soit un prédicteur significatif du développement des symptômes d’anxiété et de dépression des patients.

Introduciton. The aim of this master’s thesis is to investigate whether the Library Outreach Service (Boken kommer), a home-library-service, contributes positively to how the users’ experience their life quality. Method. This study is based on semi-structured interviews with ten Boken kommer-users, a smaller qualitative survey and one interview with the librarian in charge of the home-library-service in the Swedish municipality Norrtälje. Analysis. The theoretical framework used for the analysis in this study is based on the results from two different studies that define life quality for people over the age of 65. These results are used to explain and understand the users’ experiences and perceptions of whether the service has a positive impact on their perceived quality of life. Results. The analysis identifies several themes that were brought up by the users in the interviews and in the survey. These themes covered a social aspect, to be part of the community, the access to literature, the possibility to participate in different ways and their perception of what is meaningful in their lives. These themes can all contribute to life quality.  Conclusion. The findings indicate that users find the home-library-service to contribute positively to their experienced life quality and that the service is a very important element in their lives. Limitations. As this study draws its findings from a small sample selection, general conclusions are limited and further studies of larger groups in a broader context with this perspective would make a good contribution to research. This is a two-year master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

Subject: Active senior lifestyle Author's name: Bc. Iveta Dušková Supervizor: profesor Ing. Václav Bunc CSc. Objective: To verify whether biological age of tested seniors is in line with their calendar age. The differnce towards calendar age will be evaluated via ECM/BCM ration based on body content analysis. I will investigate the influence of physical activity on slower ageing physiology and the effect of physical activity on status of net muscle mass and on frequency of civilazation diseases. The goal is to figure out if active lifestyle is available also for seniors. Methods: The core of the work is qualitative and quantitative survey mapping antropometric parameters by bioimpedancy method. The functional values were collected by motorical step est and by handgrip. Further the subjective quality life judgment interview with yes/no options was used for the target senior group. Results: The relationship was found for the bioimpedancy results and the the volume of physical weekly activity (in hours) and level of BMI and pecentage of body fat. Further the realtionship was found for physical activity volume and for the dynamometric and motorical test results. Thjere is a difference between men and women. There was no relationship found for ECM/BCM coefficient and physical activity volume. The type...

A identificaçao de grupos expostos a fatores correlacionados à violência é fundamental para sua prevençao. O objetivo geral é analisar a distribuiçao espacial das residências das vítimas de homicídios no município de Porto Alegre, em 1996, visando identificar o seu contexto sócio-espacial. Foram utilizados indicadores demográficos e sócio-econômicos, provenientes do censo demográfico de 1991 e contagem populacional de 1996, para caracterizar os setores censitários que compoem o município, através de análise de aglomerados, pelo método K-means. A mortalidade por homicídios, acidentes de transporte e suicídios, proveniente do sistema de informaçoes sobre mortalidade de 1996, foi localizada pontualmente em malha digital de arruamento, através do sistema de informaçoes geográficas do município. A distribuiçao espacial dos óbitos e da populaçao foi analisada através de métodos de alisamento de kernel. A análise do índice de homicídios, construído através da razao entre estas distribuiçoes, permitiu a identificaçao de microáreas de diferentes índices de homicídios. Estas microáreas foram caracterizadas pelos indicadores sócio-econômicos e pela presença de escolas, serviços de saúde, delegacias e postos de polícia militar. Foram identificados quatro grupos que delimitaram microáreas sócio-econômicas, diferenciados com maior peso dos indicadores relacionados às condiçoes de moradia. As microáreas da periferia urbana, onde se concentram as favelas, com piores indicadores sócio-econômicos apresentaram maior índice de homicídios. Por outro lado, os dois grupos de melhor renda e escolaridade apresentaram índices de homicídios menores, mas com níveis de homicídios muito diferenciados entre si. Quando o município foi dividido em microáreas de três níveis de índices de homicídios, as médias dos indicadores que se diferenciaram entre os níveis foram: o número de habitantes por cômodo, renda, instruçao e medianas etárias, mas com grande variabilidade interna. A distribuiçao dos equipamentos públicos de segurança e educaçao, mostrou-se deficitária nas microáreas com alto índice de homicídios. A classificaçao de microáreas através de indicadores sócio-econômicos mostrou capacidade limitada para identificar populaçoes expostas aos homicídios. Pode-se inferir que as condiçoes sócio-econômicas nao determinaram, por si só, os comportamentos violentos. Esta determinaçao depende da combinaçao com outros fatores que têm participaçao importante no perfil de cada local. Sugere-se a busca de novos indicadores que sejam capazes de diferenciar os grupos vulneráveis, com maior precisao. Os métodos espacias utilizados permitiram a identificaçao de microáreas que concentram óbitos, cujas populaçoes devem ser enfocadas no planejamento de açoes de prevençao das mortes violentas. / During the last decade, violent causes of death became the main group of mortality among people between 5 and 34 years old in Porto Alegre City due to an increasing of homicides and traffic accidents. The identification of groups exposed to factors correlated to violence is a major task for its prevention. The general objective of this study is to analyze the spatial distribution of the victims' homicide residences in the municipality of Porto Alegre, in 1996, aiming to identify its social and spatial context. Demographic and socioeconomic indicators were used, based on data from the demographic census of 1991 and population counting of 1996, to characterize the municipal census tracts through cluster analysis, using the K-means method. The mortality by homicides, traffic accidents and suicides, from the mortality information system was located as points on the street digital map, through Geographic Information System. Spatial distribution of deaths and population were analyzed through Kernel smoothing method. Analysis of homicide index, calculated through the ratio between these distributions, allowed the identification of microareas with different homicide indexes. These microareas were characterized by socioeconomic indicators and by the presence of schools, health services and police stations. Four groups were identified defining socioeconomic microareas in which the dwelling condition indicators played a major role in their differentials. Urban peripheric microareas, where slums are concentrated, with worst socioeconomic indicators, presented higher homicide index. On the other hand, the two groups with better income and education levels presented lower homicide indexes, however, with very differentiated homicide levels between them. When analyzing the municipality by microareas of three homicide index levels, the indicators: household crowding, income, education and age, presented wider differences among microareas, although with large internal variability. Police stations and schools were unequally distributed throughout homicide index microareas. The microareas classification through socioeconomic indicators presented a limited capability to identify exposed groups. Socioeconomic conditions by themselves did not determine the violent behaviors. Other factors can have an important participation in the determination of violence depending on each local combination of factors. New indicators must be incorporated for the precise differentiation of vulnerable groups. The used spatial analysis methods allowed the identification of microareas that concentrate deaths. The target populations should be focused by actions aiming to prevent violent deaths.

This work aims to give a contribution to studies about employment quality and workforce life conditions of people living in the rural megaregions of Minas Gerais, specially the paid employee. The focus will be the megaregions of Minas Gerais, distinguished by more and less modernization, in the cultivation of coffee, sugar cane and corn, considering both agricultural employees and families. Taking into consideration the decrease of agricultural employment occurred in the 2000 s and the growth of non-agricultural activities, giving rise to the New Ruralism and the new forms of occupation for the paid job outside agriculture, a comparative analyzes of job quality and life conditions for the non- and agricultural employees will be made. The analyzes will indicate if the non-agricultural employment (ERNAs) leads to a better quality of employment and life conditions, when compared to agricultural one. The results obtained in this work indicate a better level of quality in the agricultural employment for the employees living in the more modernized megaregions and with city residence; the conditions are worse for the employees with rural residence working in the less modernized megaregions. Agricultural employee life conditions were clearly better for those living in the city and worse for those living in the rural area. In this sense, for the agricultural families and employees the rural environment continues to reproduce more precarious conditions in relation to the job, mainly in the poorer megaregions. On the other hand, for non-agricultural employees, job quality index was better than for those agricultural, with the exception of qualified employees living in the rural area of megaregion TMAP and Northwest of Minas Gerais. However, the quality of non-agricultural employment was better for more traditional activities, such as those performed in the more modernized megaregions industries, and it was worse for more precarious activities such as paid domestic work (SDR) in the less modernized megaregions. Life conditions were revealed better for all non-agricultural activities, when compared to the agricultural ones, occurring improvement in all selected activities and showing evolution in the mentioned decade. However, those conditions were worse in the less modernized megaregions, and in terms of number, these regions received the largest number of non-agricultural employees. Even presenting better life conditions, the non-agricultural employees are concentrated in the poorer megaregions and in more precarious activities such as paid domestic work (SDR). In conclusion, more than delve into the study of the impacts of modernization in the paid job in Minas Gerais, this work aims to reveal if working conditions (measured by IQE) and families life conditions (measured by ICV) in the rural area implied improvement for non-agricultural employment in comparison with agricultural employment, and if these changes implied in bigger rural development or if it emphasized more the inequalities in rural areas in Minas Gerais. In this investigation the data from the IBGE 2000 and 2010 Demographic Census were used, in the construction of the IQE and ICV indexes, based on the Balsadi (2005) methodology; for the definition of megaregions more and less modernized the data from Censo Agropecuário and PAM were used. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir com os estudos em torno da qualidade do emprego e condições de vida da força de trabalho residente no setor rural das Mesorregiões de Minas Gerais, especificamente, o empregado assalariado. O recorte compreende as Mesorregiões de Minas Gerais, separadas por mais e menos modernizadas nas culturas do café, cana-de-açúcar e milho, envolvendo os empregados e as famílias agrícolas. Considerando a queda dos empregos agrícolas ocorridos na década estudada e o crescimento das atividades não agrícolas, considerando o novo rural e as novas formas de ocupação para o emprego assalariado fora da agricultura, será realizada também uma análise comparativa da qualidade do emprego e as condições de vida oferecidas a esses empregados agrícolas e não agrícolas, destacando, a partir dos resultados, se os empregos rurais não agrícolas (ERNAs) se consubstanciaram em maior qualidade do emprego e condições de vida quando comparados aos agrícolas. Os resultados obtidos na tese apontam para uma maior qualidade do emprego agrícola para os empregados nas Mesorregiões mais modernizadas, mas com residência urbana, sendo piores para os empregados com domicilio rural e presentes nas Mesorregiões menos modernizadas. As condições de vida dos empregados agrícolas também foram nitidamente melhores para os empregados com domicílio urbano e piores para aqueles com domicilio rural. Nesse sentido, para os empregados e famílias dos empregados agrícolas, o setor rural continua reproduzindo condições mais precárias em relação ao emprego, principalmente, nas Mesorregiões mais pobres. Já para os empregados das atividades não agrícolas, a qualidade do emprego foi melhor que para os agrícolas, com exceção dos empregados qualificados e com domicílio rural na Mesorregião TMAP e Noroeste de Minas. Entretanto, a qualidade do emprego não agrícola foi melhor para as atividades mais tradicionais, como a indústria das Mesorregiões mais modernizadas, e pior para as atividades mais precárias, como serviços domésticos remunerados (SDR), por exemplo, nas Mesorregiões menos modernizadas. As condições de vida se mostraram mais elevadas para todas as atividades não agrícolas, quando comparadas às agrícolas, ocorrendo melhora em todas as atividades selecionadas, o que representa uma evolução na década, continuando, porém, sendo piores para as Mesorregiões menos modernizadas e que, em volume, absorveram o maior número de empregados não agrícolas. Assim, mesmo apresentando condições de vida melhores, os assalariados não agrícolas estão concentrados em maior número nas Mesorregiões mais pobres e nas atividades mais precárias como, principalmente, nos SDR, e serviços. Em síntese, mais que aprofundar o estudo dos impactos da modernização no emprego assalariado de Minas Gerais, este trabalho busca evidenciar se as condições de trabalho (medido pelo IQE) e condições de vida das famílias (medido pelo ICV) no meio rural significaram melhoras para os empregos não agrícolas, em comparação aos agrícolas, e se essas mudanças implicaram em maior desenvolvimento rural ou se acentuaram ainda mais as desigualdades no meio rural mineiro. Foram utilizados na investigação os dados do Censo Demográfico de 2000 e 2010 do IBGE, para a construção dos índices do IQE e do ICV, fundamentados na metodologia de Balsadi (2005), e o Censo Agropecuário e PAM, para a definição das Mesorregiões mais e menos modernizadas. / Doutor em Economia
