Cette recherche aborde la médiation familiale comme une nouvelle pratique sociale en expansion dans plusieurs pays. Plus particulièrement, elle interroge les spécificités des modèles de médiation familiale dans des pays aux traditions et aux cultures bien différentes comme la France et le Brésil. Cette étude met en évidence des modèles dominants et leur influence sur les pratiques des médiateurs. Elle identifie leurs principales caractéristiques et les pratiques de médiation qui sont reconnues au Brésil et en France, ainsi que leurs effets auprès des couples.La recherche a été élaborée à partir d’un recueil de données construites par une enquête par entretien semi-directif et une enquête par questionnaire auprès des médiateurs familiaux français et brésiliens et auprès des couples bénéficiaires des services de médiation. La méthode d’analyse des données a été faite par informatique à l’aide du logiciel Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Dans les deux pays, les résultats indiquent que la médiation extrajudiciaire convient mieux aux couples interviewés pour les raisons suivantes : elle se situe en amont de la procédure judiciaire, même pour les couples déjà engagés dans une médiation judiciaire ou pour ceux qui ont fait l’objet d’une ordonnance du juge ; elle favorise une meilleure communication dans le couple ; elle obtient une plus grande cote de satisfaction de la part de ceux qui en ont bénéficié ; elle est davantage recommandée aux autres personnes, surtout au Brésil ; elle n’est pas imposée mais plutôt perçue comme un atout pour la gestion des conflits.Applicable aussi bien au modèle de médiation familiale brésilien qu’au français (qui sont pourtant différents de par leur niveau d’évolution), la médiation extrajudiciaire est plus efficace dans le règlement des conflits, car elle favorise, entre autre, une meilleure communication, ainsi qu’un taux de satisfaction plus élevé dans le couple et chez les médiateurs. / This research approaches family mediation as a new social practice in expansion in many countries. In particular, it questions the specific models of family mediation in countries with different traditions and cultures as well as France and Brazil. This study highlights the dominant models and their influence on the practices of mediators. It identifies the main characteristics and practices of mediation that are recognized in Brazil and France, and their effects on couples.The research was drawn from a collection of data constructed by semi-guided interviews and questionnaires applied to both the French and Brazilian family mediators as couples who are benefited by mediation services. The method of data analysis was done by computer using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for organizing, processing and descriptive data analysis.In both countries, the results indicate that extrajudicial mediation is more appropriate to the interviewed couples for the following reasons: lies before court proceedings, even for those couples already undergoing a judicial mediation or for those who were subject for a determination by the judge; develops a better communication between the couple; obtains higher satisfaction rate from those who were benefited by it; is most recommended to other people, especially in Brazil; is not imposed but rather perceived as an advantage for the management of conflicts.Extrajudicial mediation is applied to both the French model as the Brazilian one (which are however different in level of evolution), and is more effective in the regulation of conflicts, because it favors, among other things, better communication, and a higher rate of satisfaction by the couples and mediators.

Three-dimensional appearance models represent an essential outcome of industrial design practice, facilitating the origination, evaluation and specification of exterior form. As manufacturers face increasing pressure to reduce time scales for new product development, the production of such models using conventional fabrication techniques must be appraised. As a means of economically translating digital geometry into one-off components, rapid prototyping has the potential to contribute towards a reduction in lead times for the production of appearance models. The objective of this research is to propose a methodological approach for the effective integration of rapid prototyping within industrial design practice. The field and practice of industrial design is defined, the technology of rapid prototyping discussed, and their integration proposed through a draft computer-aided industrial design/rapid prototyping (CAID/RP) methodological approach. This is exposed to practitioner feedback, modified, and employed as a revised CAID/RP methodological approach during the industrial design of a nylon line trimmer. The product outcome is used to compare and contrast the production of an appearance model via rapid prototyping, an appearance prototype via rapid prototyping, and an appearance model via conventional fabrication techniques. Two issues arise from the use of the revised CAID/RP methodological approach: the production of stl files and the lack of physical interaction with product form. In addition, the emergence of rapid prototype sketch modelling systems following the line trimmer case study provides an opportunity for further enhancement. A strategy for the resolution of these issues is proposed, and their effectiveness evaluated through additional case studies. The resulting CAID/RP methodological approach is subject to validation through practitioner interviews and a normalised rating/weighting method. The positive feedback acknowledges the significance of the CAID/RP methodological approach through a reduction in product development lead times and enhancement of professional practice. The project makes a contribution to new knowledge and understanding in the area of professional practice through the definition and validation of operational paradigmatic change.

Culturally appropriate conceptual models for practice are of major interest to occupational therapists, an emerging health profession in Thailand. Currently in Thailand, occupational therapy education and practice derives its conceptual models from Western models. How these models are translated into practice in Thailand is unclear, as there are currently no research studies relating to the cultural and clinical practice demands of Thai occupational therapists and of service delivery in Thailand. In addition, how occupational therapists in Australia apply conceptual models in practice has also been given limited attention in the research literature. A comparison is made between Thai and Western Australian occupational therapists to examine the use of theoretical models in the Western cultural context and to investigate the influences of cultural differences on occupational therapy practice. The purpose of this study is to identify the conceptual models most frequently used by occupational therapists in Thailand and in Australia, to describe the application of these models to practice, and to explore the cultural influences impacting on the application to practice. The need for a derived but more culturally specific conceptual model for occupational therapy practice in Thailand was also investigated. Focus group interviews were conducted as the initial stage of the study, to obtain in-depth background information about occupational therapy practice. Content analysis using transcript-based analysis and systematic coding was used to analyse the focus group data. The results demonstrated three main conceptual approaches: among both Westem Australian and Thai occupational therapists. These three models were described as the Performance Model, the Whole Person Model, and the Medical Model. / The findings from focus group interviews and related literature were used to develop a questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed as a self-report measure, using a 4 point scale ranging from ‘strongly agree’ to ‘strongly disagree’. It was arranged in 4 parts: Part A-Background Information, Part B- Models of Occupational Therapy Practice, Part C-Occupational Therapy Practice, and Part D-Practice Comment. Parts A, B and C consisted of closed-ended questions, whereas Part D was constructed to elicit open-ended questions. The survey data was collected from 138 Thai occupational therapists (ThaiOTs) and 155 Western Australian occupational therapists (WAOTs). A Chi-square test result demonstrated that ThaiOTs favoured the Medical Model for practice whilst WAOTs used the Performance Model and the Whole Person Model (p < 0.05). Principal component factor analysis was used to identify significant factors differentiating the practice of WA and Thai occupational therapists and to guide the development of the model of practice for ThaiOTs. The Mann-Whitney U Test results showed clear differences of therapist practice between Australia and Thailand in relation to their views about Clients, Professional Perspective (Therapists), Intervention, Cultural Implications, and Health Care Systems due to the influence of the culture and socio-cultural environment (p < 0.05). The outcomes from all stages in the study were used to develop a model of practice for Thai occupational therapists. This model named the ‘Samphan’ Framework of Practice focuses on the client and family as an inseparable unit, which differs from an individual, or client focus central to most Western models.

The research started from the conviction that, in its course through Brazilian territory, this curricular component is related to the space of political tensions, which involves negotiations between state and religions. In addition to the pedagogical questions, there are elements of legal, religious and epistemic order at stake. The main objective of the research was to analyze models and practices of religious education in these two schools, considering the presence in them of a plural religious public. It was considered their dilemmas and complexity from a threefold classification of Religious Educational models (Catechetical, Theological and Religious Sciences) present in theory and practice. The work was divided into three steps. Initially, it was shown how the Religious Education is present in the Brazilian Constitutions and on the educational legislation of the States of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, for later explaining of the present models at course in the Religious Education practice in Brazilian education. After, the field research made in the schools sought to identify the conflicts generated between students and teachers in the Religious Education classes, and tried to determine how the model of Sciences of Religion could set an important option in teacher training for the Religious Education, also being the one that can surpass with more gains the challenges of religious diversity among students. Finally, the main results of the survey were presented, which pointed to the need to have a greater clarity regarding the definition of the object of Religious Education and the contribution of Religious Science for this area of knowledge, since it will be necessary to rely always more, in the pedagogical plans of schools, with a religious multiplicity between students / Resumo: Esta dissertação tenciona expor as coerências e ambivalências no Ensino Religioso escolar (ER) a partir de um estudo do lugar do ensino religioso no projeto pedagógico de duas escolas distintas: o Colégio Municipal Ana Elisa Lisboa Gregori e o Colégio Franciscano São Miguel Arcanjo. A pesquisa partiu da convicção de que, em seu percurso pelo território brasileiro, este componente curricular encontra-se relacionado ao espaço das tensões políticas, que envolvem negociações entre Estado e religiões. Para além das questões pedagógicas, estão em jogo elementos de ordem legal, religiosa e epistêmica. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi analisar modelos e práticas do Ensino Religioso nessas duas escolas, considerando nelas a presença de um público religioso plural. Levaram-se em conta seus dilemas e complexidade a partir de uma classificação tríplice dos modelos de ER (catequético, teológico e das Ciências da Religião) presentes na teoria e na prática. O trabalho foi dividido em três passos. Inicialmente, mostrou-se de que maneira o ER se faz presente nas Constituições brasileiras e na legislação educacional dos Estados de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, para depois explicitar os modelos presentes no decorrer da prática do ER na educação brasileira. Em seguida, a pesquisa de campo feita nas escolas procurou identificar os conflitos gerados entre os alunos e os professores nas aulas do ER, e tentou apurar de que forma o modelo das Ciências da Religião poderia se configurar como importante opção na formação docente para o ER, além de poder ser aquela que supera com mais ganhos os desafios da pluralidade religiosa entre os alunos. Finalmente, foram apresentados os principais resultados obtidos pela pesquisa, os quais apontam para a necessidade de se ter maior clareza quanto à definição do objeto do ER e da contribuição das Ciências da Religião para esta área de conhecimento, uma vez que será preciso contar sempre mais, nos planos pedagógicos escolares, com uma multiplicidade religiosa entre os alunos
