Foi realizado estudo caso-controle de base hospitalar, envolvendo pacientes diagnosticados com câncer de cabeça e pescoço e que participaram do \"Estudo Multicêntrico Latino-americano de Fatores Ambientais, Vírus e Câncer da Cavidade Oral e Laringe\" do projeto \"Genoma Clínico do Câncer\". Foram incluídos pacientes atendidos no Hospital Heliópolis, no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo e no Instituto do Câncer Arnaldo Vieira de Carvalho entre novembro de 1998 e dezembro de 2005. Consideraram-se casos os pacientes com diagnóstico histologicamente confirmado de câncer de boca, faringe ou laringe e controles pessoas atendidas nos mesmos hospitais por outros motivos que não neoplasia maligna e doenças associadas com os fatores de risco do câncer de cabeça e pescoço. A análise empregou regressão logística não-condicional baseada em modelo hierárquico de determinação. No nível mais distal foram incluídas as variáveis demográficas (sexo, cor de pele e idade), seguidas pela escolaridade (série mais elevada que a pessoa cursou) e ocupação (exercida por mais tempo). No nível mais proximal, foram considerados o consumo de tabaco e de álcool. Também foi investigado se a associação de instrução e ocupação com câncer de cabeça e pescoço se mediava apenas por padrões diferenciais de consumo de álcool e tabaco entre os estratos sociais, ou se havia variação residual que excedia esses dois fatores. Todas as análises conduzidas para câncer de cabeça e pescoço foram replicadas de modo específico para as localizações topográficas da boca, faringe e laringe em separado. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo sob parecer no. 68/07 e os procedimentos estatísticos foram realizados no programa Stata 9. A amostra foi composta por 1017 casos e 951 controles. A análise hierárquica identificou maior chance de câncer de cabeça e pescoço entre os homens (OR=2,01; IC95% 1,57-2,59), pessoas entre 48 e 55 anos (OR=1,82; IC95% 1,42-2,33), pessoas sem estudo ou apenas alfabetizados (2,48; IC95% 1,73-3,52), entre pessoas com primeiro grau completo ou incompleto (1,31; IC95% 1,05-1,63) e entre as pessoas que exerceram durante mais tempo profissão manual (1,38; IC95% 1,10-1,74). Além disso, fumantes e consumidores de bebidas alcoólicas apresentaram maior razão de chances em relação àqueles que nunca consumiram os produtos. No modelo não hierárquico, mesmo após o ajuste por tabagismo e ingestão de álcool, maior chance foi verificada para o grupo de menor escolaridade em todas as localizações topográficas (exceto para os tumores de boca), e para pessoas com ocupações manuais (exceto para os tumores de boca e faringe). A identificação desse efeito residual indica haver fatores adicionais, além da exposição ao álcool e tabaco, operando na distribuição desigual do câncer de cabeça e pescoço entre os estratos sociais. / This is a hospital-based case-control study involving patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer. Such patients have participated in the \"Latin American Multicentric Study from Environmental Factors, Virus and Oral Cavity and Larynx Cancer\", and in the \"Clinical Genome of Cancer Project\", from November 1998 to December 2005, and were attended at the Hospital Heliópolis, Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo and Instituto do Câncer Arnaldo Vieira de Carvalho. The case group comprised patients histologically diagnosed with mouth, pharynx or larynx cancer; the control group comprised patients treated at the same hospitals for other diseases than malignant neoplasms or conditions related to head and neck cancer risk factors. Data analysis used non-conditional logistic regression based on a hierarchical model of determination. At the most distal level, demographic variables were included (e.g. sex, skin color and age), followed by education level (e.g. highest grade or degree completed) and occupation (i.e. the one performed the longest period). Alcohol and tobacco consumption were included at the most proximal level. The investigation also assessed whether the association between education level and occupation with mouth and neck cancer was only mediated by differential patterns of alcohol and tobacco consumption among social strata, or there was residual variation that exceeded those two factors. All analyses for mouth and neck cancer were specifically replicated for each topographic location (mouth, pharynx and larynx). The study was approved by the University of Sao Paulo School of Dentistry\'s Ethics Committee, report number 68/07, and statistical analyses used the Stata 9 program. The sample was composed of 1017 cases and 951 controls. Hierarchical analysis identified a greater chance of head and neck cancer for men (OR=2,01; CI95% 1,57-2,59), patients aged 48 to 55 years old (OR=1,82; CI95% 1,42-2,33), uneducated or semi-literate patients (2,48; CI95% 1,73-3,52), subjects with elementary education (8 years) (1,31; IC95% 1,05-1,63) and those performing manual occupations (1,38; CI95% 1,10-1,74). In addition, tobacco smokers and alcohol users presented a higher odds than those non-exposed to these conditions. In the non-hierarchical model, even after the adjustment for tobacco and alcohol use, a higher odds was identified for the less-schooled strata in every topographic location (except for mouth tumors), and for subjects with manual labor occupations (except for mouth and pharynx tumors). Identification of such residual effect indicates that there are other factors than alcohol and tobacco consumption, which mediate the uneven distribution of head and neck cancer across the socioeconomic strata.

O trabalho consiste em um estudo do conflito existente nas cidades pela disputa do espaço urbano, em que a efetivação do direito à cidade e a moradia colidem o direito de propriedade e interesses econômicos. O cenário desta disputa é a globalização, que intensifica as relações humanas em escala mundial e pressiona o direito à atender uma lógica imposta pelo mercado, gerando uma padronização nas relações jurídicas. Para a pesquisa foram realizados trabalhos de campo em ocupações urbanas no centro de Porto Alegre nos anos de 2016 e 2017, com a coleta de dados primários. A parte final da dissertação apresenta pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema da globalização e do solo urbano, com a avaliação das possibilidades de atuação do direito econômico. / This work consists of a study of the existing conflict in the cities for the dispute of the urban space, in which the realization of the right to the city and the housing collide the right of property and economic interests. The scenario of this dispute is globalization, which intensifies human relations worldwide and puts pressure on the right to comply with a logic imposed by the market, generating a standardization in legal relations. For the research, fieldwork was carried out in urban occupations in the center of Porto Alegre in the years 2016 and 2017, with the collection of primary data. The final part of the dissertation presents bibliographic research on the theme of globalization and urban soil, with the evaluation of the possibilities of economic law. / El trabajo consiste en un estudio del conflicto existente en las ciudades por la disputa del espacio urbano, en que la efectividad del derecho a la ciudad y la vivienda colisionan con el derecho de propiedad e intereses económicos.

Cette thèse propose de faire le point sur les indicateurs disponibles pour la surveillance épidémiologique des lombalgies liées au travail, notamment les données de réparation de maladies professionnelles (MP) et les données issues du réseau pilote de surveillance des troubles musculo-squelettiques des Pays de la Loire.La part de hernie discale opérée (utilisée comme traceur de lombalgie) attribuable à l’activité professionnelle était particulièrement élevée pour les ouvriers des deux sexes et les employées femmes. La lombalgie est un phénomène complexe et ne peut être surveillée grâce à un indicateur unique. Les données de MP, malgré leurs limites, donnent des résultats comparables aux autres sources de données et présentent l’avantage de ne nécessiter aucun recueil spécifique. Les données de cohortes, basées sur un questionnaire standardisé, sont nécessaires pour permettre des comparaisons internationales. Enfin, les données chirurgicales issues des bases de données des hôpitaux et cliniques, fournissent l’information la plus fine, si elles sont complétées de données professionnelles. Il s’agit cependant d’un indicateur mixte de morbidité et de soins. Les fortes disparités territoriales qu’il révèle au sein d’une région incitent à la mise en place de programmes de prévention différenciés.En complément de ces trois indicateurs, il serait intéressant d’ajouter un indicateur d’invalidité ou d’incapacité dans le système de surveillance pour mieux cibler les actions de prévention en fonction du risque de désinsertion professionnelle, dimension importante en termes d’impact social pour les individus et de coût pour la société. / This thesis proposes to review the available indicators for the epidemiological surveillance of work-related low back pain, including compensation data of occupational diseases and data from the pilot surveillance system for musculoskeletal disorders in the Pays de la Loire region.The proportion of cases of lumbar disc surgery (used as sentinel event of low back pain) attributable to occupational activity was particularly high among blue-collar workers of both genders and lower-grade female white-collar workers. Low back pain is a complex phenomenon and cannot be monitored using a single indicator. Compensation data, despite their limitations, give results comparable to other data sources and don’t require specific gathering. Cohorts’ data, based on a standardized questionnaire, are necessary for international comparisons. Finally, surgical data from private and public hospitals databases provide the finest information, if they are completed with occupational data. However, this is a mixed indicator of morbidity and care. It shows large local disparities in a region, encouraging the development of differentiated prevention programs.In addition to these three indicators, it would be interesting to add a disability or incapacity indicator in the surveillance system to better target prevention programs according to occupational exclusion which is an important dimension in terms of social impact for people and cost for the society.

Bakgrund: Sedan pandemins start har det blivit vanligare att arbeta hemifrån. Vid distansarbete kan aktivitetsmönstret förändras då gränsen mellan arbete och fritid lätt kan suddas ut. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva hur distansarbete påverkar aktivitetsmönstret hos yrkesverksamma personer mellan 19–35 år. Metod: En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie genomfördes för att samla in data genom en egenkonstruerad enkät. Med inspiration från instrumentet GAP i vardagens aktiviteter och från Patterns Of Daily Occuaptions har frågor konstruerats. En blandning mellan snöbollsurval och bekvämlighetsurval användes. 36 personer deltog i studien. Data analyserades med hjälp av Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) och de öppna frågorna med inspiration från kvalitativa analysmetoder. Resultat: Studiens resultat visar att aktivitetsmönstret har påverkats av att arbeta på distans. De flesta deltagarna upplevde att de hade mer tid för sina vardagsaktiviteter vid distansarbete jämfört med arbete på arbetsplatsen samt att den fysiska miljön i hemmet påverkar arbete på distans. Slutsats: Flertalet deltagare upplever sämre ergonomi och minskad arbetsro och många upplever att de har en mer flexibel vardag vid distansarbete. / Background: Since the start of the pandemic, it has become more common to work from home. During teleworking, activity patterns may change as the boundary between work and leisure can be easily blurred. Aim: The aim was to describe how teleworking affects the activity pattern of professionals between 19–35 years of age. Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was performed to collect data through a self-constructed questionnaire. With inspiration from the instrument GAP in everyday activities and Patterns of Daily Occuaptions, questions have been constructed. A mixture of snowball and convenience selection were used. 36 people participated in the study. Data was analyzed using SPSS and the open questions with inspiration from qualitative analysis methods. Results: The results of the study show that the activity pattern has been influenced by teleworking. Most participants felt they had more time for everyday activities during telework compared to work at the workplace and that the physical environment at home affects teleworking. Conclusion: Most participants experience poorer ergonomics and reduced peace of mind and many participants felt they had a more flexible everyday life when teleworking.

Orientation: The employee engagement approach has been utilised to combat burnout in both private and public sector institutions. With increasing research, selfperceived employability is gaining popularity as an effective tool to reduce burnout in the contemporary world of work. Knowledge of the relationship between these three constructs is therefore important for public sector institutions and researchers in industrial and organisational psychology in South Africa. Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between burnout, employee engagement and self-perceived employability amongst employees in the South African public sector. Motivation for study: Numerous studies have highlighted the prevalence of poor service delivery in public sector institutions as linked to employees feeling disconnected from their work as a result of numerous burnout symptoms. A plethora of studies have emphasised the significance of employee engagement in reducing burnout. With increasing research, focus has also been on the employability construct as a tool to manage burnout in the ever-changing working environment and the labour market. Both employee engagement and self-perceived employability have been utilised as approaches to reduce burnout amongst employees. However, the relationship between these three constructs is unknown, and therefore the findings of this study will be crucial for both public sector institutions and researchers in industrial and organisational psychology in South Africa. Research design, approach and method: The researcher conducted a quantitative study. It involved a non-probability sample of 158 South African public sector employees. Correlational and descriptive statistical analyses were utilised to analyse the data. Main findings: Burnout has a significant negative relationship with employee engagement; however, burnout does not significantly correlate with self-perceived employability. There are significant differences between the various biographical groups and burnout, employee engagement and self-perceived employability. Practical/managerial implications: Approaches to reducing burnout amongst employees should consider employee engagement and self-perceived employability as effective tools to enhance employees’ wellness, morale and productivity. Improving the engagement levels of employees and enhancing their employability will greatly improve the well-being of employees in public sector institutions and help alleviate the actual employee burnout. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.

Vertical Occupations in the City Center of São Paulo has been prepared as part of the Degree Project for the Master in Urbanism Studies course at The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.This Degree Project deals with social housing challenges in the central urban environment of São Paulo, Brazil, narrowing down to an important part of these urban challenges: the occupations of vacant buildings in the city center of São Paulo by social housing movements. Although the theme is part of a wider context, focusing on social occupations is critical to understand how the right to proper housing, and to the city itself, is a paradoxal universe. / Vertical Occupations in the City Center of São Paulo é um projeto de Mestrado (MSc) em Urbanismo preparado para Kungliga Tekninska Högskoloan (KTH) em Estocolmo. O trabalho lida com os desafios contemporâneos em habitação social, focando nas ocupações verticais no centro de São Paulo. Embora este tema seja bastante abrangente, ao focar em ocupações no centro da cidade, o projeto critica o direito à cidade e à habitação digna, focando na esfera mais carente da cidade, este expõe um universo um tanto quanto paradoxal.

Det uppskattas att ungefär en tredjedel av arbetsmarknaden består av röstkrävande yrken, det vill säga yrken där rösten är ett viktigt och nödvändigt redskap för att utföra sitt arbete. Tidigare forskning har identifierat lärare, sångare och präster som yrken med röstkrävande arbetsuppgifter. Forskningen är dock över 20 år gammal, och aktuell forskning om vilka röstkrav som ställs på arbetsmarknaden, särskilt hos grupper som inte är överrepresenterade vad gäller röstproblem, saknas. Syftet med den här studien är att identifiera vilka röstkrav som ställs inom yrkesgrupper i Sverige idag. Totalt 477 deltagare besvarade en enkät med frågor om uppskattad talartid under en arbetsdag, samt vilka röstkrävande arbetsuppgifter och röstkrävande arbetsmiljöfaktorer som förekom på deras arbetsplats. Resultatet från den här deskriptiva tvärsnittsstudien visar att flera yrken som tidigare blivit identifierade som röstkrävande yrken, även är röstkrävande yrken idag. Ytterligare identifierade yrken i den här studien var till exempel arbetstagare inom museum- och biblioteksverksamhet, sjuksköterskor med vidareutbildning, till exempel barnsjuksköterskor, chefer inom utbildning, och yrkesgruppen ”författare, journalister och tolkar”. De mest förekommande röstkraven var att muntligt instruera eller informera kollegor, prata i telefon och att kommunicera muntligt med kunder eller klienter. Vidare forskning med ett större deltagarantal behövs för att ytterligare identifiera röstkrävande yrkesgrupper och röstkrav på den moderna arbetsmarknaden, där rösten förväntas hålla under allt fler arbetsverksamma år. / It is estimated that approximately one third of the labour market consists of vocally demanding occupations, namely occupations where the voice is an important and necessary tool to execute one’s work. Previous research has identified teachers, singers, and priests as occupations with vocally demanding work. However, the research is over 20 years old, and current research about vocal requirements on the labour market, especially amongst groups that are not overrepresented regarding voice problem, are missing. The purpose of this study is to identify which vocal requirements are essential on the modern Swedish labour market. A total of 477 participants completed a survey with questions about estimated speaking time during a workday, as well as which vocally demanding work tasks and vocally challenging work environmental factors occured at their workplace. The result from the descriptive cross-sectional study shows that several occupations that previously have been identified as vocally demanding occupations, also are vocally demanding occupations today. Further identified occupations in this study were employees working within libraries and museums, nursing professionals with continued education such as pediatric nurses, education managers, and the occupational group “authors, journalists, and interpreters”. The most occurring vocal demands in the Swedish labour market today were verbally instructing or informing colleagues, speaking on the phone, and verbally communicating with customers/clients/patients/users/visitors. Further research with a larger number of participants is needed to identify vocally demanding occupational groups and vocal requirements on the modern Swedish labour market, where the voice is expected to last during an increasing amount of working years.
