The professional geographer experience: issues for advancing collegiate geography education

Heric, Matthew 06 June 2008 (has links)
As a result of tireless and well directed efforts from its professional communities, geography as a field of study experienced a tremendous revitalization during the past few decades. Collegiate geography educators, however, cannot afford to become satisfied; additional needs in both research and application persist if the discipline is to continue its evolutionary resurgence. One continuing question is: now that they have careers as professional geographers, how do collegiate geography graduates view their program experiences? Specifically, for this investigation questions for selected topics and sub-topics (or areas) were: what was the extent of their initial exposure to these during their programs; how relevant were these to their current jobs; and what was the utility of including these in degree programs? Also, what types of expertise did they develop since graduation? The topics of interest were: other disciplines, geography, business, education, computers, and communications. A collection of 181 academic and non-academic professional geographers provided their opinions about these questions. Their answers indicated that: (1) by far, communication, education, and computers had the highest ratings for utility, relevance, and expertise gained after graduation; (2) ratings for exposure during degree programs were comparably lower for all topics; and (3) the academics and non-academics, although from different occupational environments, agreed most of the time. The discussion includes further detail about the ratings and focuses on how the two groups responded. Additional attention focuses on implications of the results in terms of the impacts on collegiate geography programs. The presentation concludes with recommendations for future research and application. / Ph. D.

Achieving ecological validity of occupation-based interventions for healthy aging

Orellano-Colon, E.M., Varas-Diaz, N., Bernal, G., Mountain, Gail 12 1900 (has links)
No / To develop a culturally sensitive occupation-based health promotion intervention for older Hispanic adults who live alone. Methods: We used a mixed method design for the content validation of the intervention and the Ecological Validity Model (EVM) to culturally center the intervention. In the quantitative phase, aging experts as well as community members from two activity centers for the elderly in Puerto Rico completed a content validity ratio exercise. In the qualitative phase, we conducted three focus groups with these participants. Data analysis included content validity ratio and a directed content analysis. Results: This resulted in a working version of the intervention protocol addressing the eight dimensions of the EVM. Conclusions: The EVM can be used to culturally center preventive interventions to other ethnic minority groups to augment the external validity and cultural competence of interventions. Future research must test the feasibility of this new intervention. / This publication was supported by National Institute of Health (NIH), National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), Clinical Research Education and Career Development (CRECD) [R25RR017589] in collaboration with Puerto Rico Clinical and Translational Research Consortium (PRCTRC) [8U54 MD 007587-03] and the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) [8U54RR026139-01A1].

All that is solid? Class, identity and the maintenance of a collective orientation amongst redundant steelworkers

Perrett, Robert A., Forde, C., Stuart, M., MacKenzie, R. January 2006 (has links)
No / This article explores the importance of class and collectivism to personal identity, and the role this played during a period of personal and collective crisis created by mass redundancy in the Welsh steel industry. The research findings demonstrate the importance of occupational identity to individual and collective identity formation. The apparent desire to maintain this collective identity acted as a form of resistance to the increased individualization of the post-redundancy experience, but rather than leading to excessive particularism, it served as a mechanism through which class-based thinking and class identity were articulated. It is argued that the continued concern for class identity reflected efforts to avoid submergence in an existence akin to Beck¿s (1992) vision of a class-free `individualized society of employees¿.These findings therefore challenge the notion of the pervasiveness of individualism and the dismissal of class and collective orientations as important influences on identity formation.

L'anticommunisme d'Etat à la fin de la IIIè République et aux débuts de l'occupation allemande : 1939-1942 / No title

Poulhès, Louis 04 May 2018 (has links)
L’étude, principalement centrée sur la région parisienne, se propose d’étudier les continuités et les ruptures dans l’anticommunisme d’Etat entre l’été 1939 et la fin de 1942. Edouard Daladier se propose d’éradiquer le PCF de la société française par la dissolution des organisations communistes (26 septembre 1939) et l’internement administratif (18 novembre 1939), supports d’une répression multiforme aggravée par son successeur Paul Reynaud (décret Sérol 12 avril 1940).Après juin 1940, les Allemands imposent d’abord leur propre législation répressive, puis la continuité est rétablie dès l’automne 1940, les occupants trouvant avantage à transférer la répression anticommuniste aux autorités françaises sur le fondement de la législation nationale, sous leur surveillance très attentive.A la suite de l’invasion de l’Union soviétique le 22 juin 1941, ils procèdent d’emblée à une vaste opération préventive d’internement des communistes. Les actions armées communistes les incitent d’une part à exhorter le gouvernement de Vichy à aggraver la répression, ce qu’il fait par l’institution de tribunaux d’exception, d’autre part à appliquer aux communistes une répression qui leur est propre : fusillades par suite de condamnations à mort par leurs tribunaux militaires et exécutions d’otages. Le partage des tâches initial est brouillé par l’intervention contre les communistes des deux circuits répressifs distincts. La répression anticommuniste est associée un temps par les Allemands à la persécution antisémite dans la catégorie du « judéo-bolchévisme », avant que la politique de persécution anti-juive prenne son autonomie à partir de la mi-juillet 1942. Les autorités vichistes se plaignent ponctuellement de l’empiétement des Allemands dans la répression anticommuniste, mais la collaboration des polices se poursuit comme auparavant.Après une redistribution des pouvoirs au printemps 1942, les négociations entre autorités allemandes et françaises aboutissent fin juillet 1942 à renouer officiellement avec le partage des tâches antérieur. La répression des communistes est normalement confiée aux autorités françaises, à l’exception des auteurs d’actes dirigés directement contre les occupants, mais en pratique les Allemands se saisissent de qui ils souhaitent. Après une interruption de deux mois et demi, ils reprennent les exécutions d’otages en août et septembre 1942, puis ils l’interrompent à cette date en prenant acte de son caractère contre-productif. Pour sa part, la police française fait montre de son efficacité aux yeux des occupants en obtenant d’importants succès dans la lutte contre les communistes, démantelant régulièrement leurs organisations tant en matière d’action politique que d’action armée, sans pour autant réussir à les éradiquer.L’étude précise de l’anticommunisme d’Etat se termine à la fin de 1942, quand l’invasion de la zone sud ouvre une nouvelle période qui étend les enjeux de l’Occupation à l’ensemble du territoire national, mais quelques indications sont données sur le devenir des années suivantes : basculement de l’opinion française à l’été 1943, déchainement de la violence des occupants appuyée par un l’Etat français milicien entièrement à son service en 1944, alors qu’à la base certains policiers et magistrats commencent à se mettre en retrait..Au-delà des vicissitudes des événements : occupation du pays et changement de régime politique en juin-juillet 1940, invasion de l’Union soviétique et déclanchement de la lutte armée à l’été 1941, les ruptures dans l’histoire de la France ne se traduisent pas par des ruptures durables dans l’anticommunisme d’Etat, renforcé néanmoins par l’intervention d’un double circuit répressif à partir de l’été 1941 et la radicalisation progressive de la répression, mais fondamentalement appuyée sur la législation établie à la fin de la IIIe République dans une continuité toujours revendiquée par Vichy avec l’autorisation des occupants. / No abstract

"Riscos ocupacionais, acidentes do trabalho e morbidade entre motoristas de uma central de ambulância do Estado de São Paulo" / "Occupation risks, accidents of occupation and morbidity among professionally qualified first aid drivers of an ambulance center of the State of São Paulo"

Takeda, Elisabete 07 November 2002 (has links)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral investigar os riscos ocupacionais, os acidentes de trabalho e doenças que acometem motoristas de uma central de ambulância de Marília (São Paulo). Para o alcance do objetivo, utilizou-se como metodologia o estudo de caso, sendo a coleta de dados realizada por entrevista estruturada, com o auxílio de um formulário. Constituíram-se sujeitos do estudo 22 motoristas socorristas. Obteve-se a categorização dos dados direcionados pela literatura sobre riscos, acidentes de trabalho e doenças relatadas pelos motoristas socorristas. Todos os entrevistados eram do sexo masculino; 81,82% eram casados; 40,90% dos trabalhadores não concluíram o primeiro grau; 54,54% exerciam outra ocupação remunerada e 81,81% referiram ter o hábito de ingerir bebidas alcoólicas toda a semana em quantidades variadas. Os riscos encontrados foram os ergonômicos e suas subcategorias fisiológicas, psicológicas e organizacionais, riscos de acidentes, riscos biológicos e riscos físicos. Constatou-se que 13 (59,09%) dos motoristas relataram ter sofrido 19 acidentes de trabalho (AT). Dentre estes destacaram-se aqueles ocorridos em decorrência do excesso de exercícios e movimentos vigorosos e repetitivos, agressão, impacto, quedas e penetração de corpo estranho no olho. Dos 19 AT, 15 (78,94%) referem-se a traumatismos, 10,53% a dorsalgias inespecíficas, 5,26% a fratura de ossos do metatarso e 5,26% à presença de corpo estranho no olho. Quatro motoristas referiram ter adoecido, sendo que dois apresentaram traumatismos não especificados do abdome, dorso e pelve; um relatou transtorno de disco intervertebral e outro, afecção ocular devida ao vírus do herpes. No contexto estudado, pôde-se observar que se trata de profissionais que estão expostos a outros riscos alheios a sua categoria, além daqueles próprios por executarem trabalho de atendimento aos pacientes, não específico daquele prescrito para a referida profissão. Estratégias foram propostas no sentido de minimizar os riscos ocupacionais, os acidentes de trabalho e as doenças encontradas entre estes trabalhadores. / The present study has the general goal of investigating the occupational risks, accidents and diseases which drivers of an ambulance center in Marilia (São Paulo) suffer from. To achieve the goal, it was used the study of case methodology, being the data collection done by structured interview, with the support of a form. Twenty-two professionally qualified first aid drivers took part of the study. It was obtained the categorization of the data directed by the literature about risks, occupation accidents and diseases related by professionally qualified first aid drivers. All drivers interviewed were male; 81.82% were married; 40.90% did not finish elementary school; 54.54% used to have another paid occupation and 81.81% said to have the habit of having alcoholic drinks all the week in various amount. The risks found were the ergonomics and their physiological, psychological e organizational subcategories, risks of accidents, biological risks and physical risks. It was found out that thirteen (59.09%) of the drivers said to have had nineteen occupation accidents (AT). Among them, it was emphasized the ones occurred because of the excess of physical exercises and tough and repetitive movements, aggression, impact, falling downs and penetration of strange body into the eye. From 19 AT, 15 (78.94%) were about traumatisms, 10.53% about non-specific backaches, 5.26% about bone breakage of metatarsus and 5.26% about presence of strange body in the eye. Four drivers said to have came down, being that two showed non-specific traumatisms of abdomen, dorsum and pelvis; one related problem of intervertebral disc and another, ocular affection due to herpes virus. In the context studied, it was showed that it’s about professionals who are exposed to other risks out of their category, beside the ones by attending the patients, not specific of the one prescribed to the referred occupation. Strategies were proposed to minimize the occupational risks, accidents and diseases found among these workers.

The objective of the research was to characterize the Technogenic Deposits (DT) of the Central, Eastern and Southern Administrative Regions of Goiânia from the environmental and health perspective. The methodology used in the field stage was based on the choice of twenty characterized points, based on drainage density and deposit exposure. The obtained results showed that the origin of these deposits is related to the irregular disposal of the rejects of diverse nature, due to the lack of inspection by public power and environmental education by the society. Deposits tecnogenic become disease vectors, obstacles to population displacement and potentially contaminating the soil and water, both streams as the water table, occupying spaces between residences, near streets, highways and gated communities, vacant lots and voucher funds. Basically they include civil construction waste, household waste and in some cases hazardous waste such as syringes, hospital gloves, batteries, televisions, paints, solvents and medicines. / No Brasil, os impactos ambientais têm aumentado, principalmente no âmbito urbano. A pesquisa teve como objetivo caracterizar os Depósitos Tecnogênicos (DT) das Regiões Administrativas Centro, Leste e Sul de Goiânia sob a perspectiva ambiental e de saúde. A metodologia empregada na etapa de campo fundamentou-se na escolha dos vinte pontos caracterizados, com base na densidade de drenagem e na exposição dos depósitos. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a origem desses depósitos está relacionada ao descarte irregular dos rejeitos de natureza diversa, consequência da falta de fiscalização por parte de poder público e de educação ambiental por parte da sociedade. Os Depósitos Tecnogênicos tornaram-se vetores de doenças, obstáculos ao deslocamento da população e potencialmente contaminantes dos solos e das águas, tanto dos córregos quanto do lençol freático, ocupando espaços entre residências, próximos a ruas, rodovias e a condomínios fechados, terrenos baldios e fundos de vales. Apresentam basicamente restos de construção civil, lixo doméstico e em alguns casos resíduo perigosos como seringas, luvas hospitalares, pilhas, televisores, tintas, solventes e remédios.

L'occupation sans titre du domaine public / The occupation of the State Property

Thierry, Marion 02 July 2019 (has links)
L’occupation sans titre du domaine public génère des préjudices patrimoniaux, financiers et économiques. Ce phénomène empêche donc le propriétaire et le gestionnaire domanial de jouir effectivement de leur domaine et nuit à toute valorisation économique du domaine public en freinant le développement des investissements sur le domaine public. L’occupation sans titre est par ailleurs un phénomène qui dépasse les intérêts du propriétaire et du gestionnaire domanial puisqu’elle est susceptible de faire naître une distorsion de concurrence entre les occupants réguliers et illicites.Alors qu’il est impossible de lutter durablement contre l’occupation sans titre du domaine public en raison de son caractère protéiforme et récurrent, la seule solution pour le propriétaire et le gestionnaire domanial est de gérer efficacement chaque cas d’occupation sans titre.Cette thèse vise à présenter un panel de réponses pouvant s’adapter à la multiplicité et aux spécificités des cas d’occupation sans titre, ces réponses ayant toute pour même objectif de faire cesser ce phénomène. Pour mettre en œuvre des réponses efficaces, il faut tout d’abord connaître le statut juridique de l’occupant sans titre et démontrer que ce phénomène résulte de circonstances diverses susceptibles d’être prises en compte dans la gestion de l’occupation sans titre. Deux types de réponses peuvent ensuite être mises en évidence : une réponse contentieuse, réponse classique à l’occupation sans titre, et une réponse négociée, réponse plus souple et ne nécessitant pas l’intervention du juge. / Untitled occupation of the State property generates patrimonial, financial and economic damages. This phenomenon therefore prevents the owner and manager of the State property from effectively benefitting from their domain and hinders any economic development of the State property by slowing or stopping further investment into the State property. Untitled occupation is also a phenomenon that goes beyond the interests of the owner and manager of the domain since it is likely to create a competitive disadvantage between regular and illegal occupants.While it is impossible to fight untitled occupation of state property in the long term due to its protean and recurrent nature, the only solution for the owner and manager of the domain is to effectively manage each situation of untitled occupancy on a case-by-case basis.This thesis aims to present a series of answers that can be adapted to the multiplicity and specificities of cases of untitled occupation with each having the same objective of ending untitled occupation of the State property. To implement the most effective responses, it is first necessary to know the legal status of the untitled occupier and to demonstrate that this phenomenon results from diverse circumstances that may be taken into account in the management of untitled occupation. Depending on the kind of untitled occupation, two types of responses can then be implemented: a contentious response which is the classic response to occupation without title, or a negotiated response being a more flexible approach requiring no intervention by the judge.

La délation des Juifs à Paris pendant l’Occupation, 1940-1944 / The denunciation of Jews in Paris during the Occupation, 1940-1944

Fournier, Patrick 22 September 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse de doctorat vise à étendre l’étude de la délation antisémite à Paris pendant l’Occupation allemande en explorant plus en détail les contextes institutionnels et sociaux du phénomène de la délation afin de mieux mesurer leur importance dans le Paris occupé. Dans un premier temps, elle explore les différents mécanismes institutionnels qui contribuèrent à l’introduction d’une réglementation antisémite d’origine allemande et française, à entretenir un climat propice au développement de la délation dans le cadre de cette réglementation, notamment à travers la propagande et la menée d’opérations visant à réprimer les « ennemis » du régime de Vichy et de l’occupant nazi, tout en fournissant aux délateurs divers relais où ceux-ci pouvaient adresser leurs reproches à l’endroit des Juifs. Ensuite, puisque la délation est avant tout un phénomène populaire, c’est-à-dire qui émana des individus, la thèse ausculte les différentes caractéristiques du contexte de l’Occupation et leurs conséquences au niveau populaire afin d’identifier les éléments qui furent mis à profit par les auteurs des délations dans leurs accusations contre les Juifs, et les mobiles qui incitèrent les délateurs à les dénoncer aux autorités. Elle analyse aussi les nombreuses stratégies rhétoriques employées par les délateurs dans leurs tentatives de convaincre les autorités du bien fondé de leurs démarches. Enfin, elle propose un portrait général des caractéristiques « sociales » des victimes à travers une étude quantitative du phénomène. / This dissertation attempts to further the study of the denunciation of Jews in Paris during the German Occupation by exploring in more detail the various institutional and social contexts of the phenomenon of denunciation to measure their importance in the larger context of occupied Paris. First, it explores institutional mechanisms who contributed to the introduction of a German and a French anti-Semitic legislation, to maintain an environment conductive to the development of denunciation in the context of this regulation, notably through propaganda and repressive operations that targeted the “enemies” of the Vichy regime as well as the German occupant, while providing the authors of denunciation with relays ready to accept and synthesize the accusations against the Jews. Second, because denunciation is at its origin a “popular” phenomenon, that is to say it originates from individuals, this dissertation analyses the various characteristics of the context of the Occupation and their consequences on the French population in an attempt to identify the elements that were put to use by denouncers in their accusations against Jews, as well as the motives that influenced their decision to contact the authorities. This section also analyzes the multitude of rhetorical strategies used by denouncers in their effort to convince the authorities of the merits of their approach. Finally, it proposes a general picture of the “social” characteristics of the victims and authors of denunciation through a quantitative study of the phenomenon.
