This trend, earmarked in 1978 at the Alma-Ata Conference, questions the ability of technological and specialized medicine to solve the health problems of humankind. In Brazil, the onset of the Brazilian unified health system in 1988, introduced changes in the population s health care model where, within the scope of basic care, emphasis has been given to the Family Health Program since 1994. In this scenery, there is a broad area of complementary practices used in promoting health and preventing and treating diseases to support an understanding of the habits and beliefs underpinning popular practices. The purpose of this study was to analyze the perception users participating in the Peace and Balance group of the Family Health Unit of Nova Cidade, in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, started in 1999, have of the relationship between the experience of prayer and the changes that may have taken place in their lives after joining the group. It is a case study of descriptive nature and qualitative approach. The data were collected during focus group interviews between January and February 2007, using as tools a questionnaire to describe the research participants and a discussion outline. The theoretical support approached the following: religion and the evolution of thought; complementary health practices; and religion as a complementary health practice. Those interviewed reported, as results of such experience, a reduction in stress and depression, an increase in socialization and self-esteem, improved family interaction, comfort, safety, assurance, improved blood pressure levels and a decrease in the use of antihypertension medication and psychopharmacs. Although most professionals do not consider attention to the religious and spiritual aspects an effective therapeutical complement in health care, its understanding and practice may democratize knowledge and relationships, out of which they can learn how to make health production more effective, strengthening assurance and confidence, and developing and expanding soft technologies aimed at health care promotion and wholeness / A Organiza??o Mundial de Sa?de (OMS) vem dando aten??o especial a procedimentos terap?uticos diferentes dos praticados pela terapia convencional, dentre os quais, a homeopatia, fitoterapia, terapias espirituais e ora??es, que possibilitam a supera??o do modelo puramente medicalizador para a vis?o hol?stica do ser humano. Esta tend?ncia marcada em 1978, na Confer?ncia de Alma Ata, questiona a capacidade da medicina tecnol?gica e especializada na resolu??o dos problemas de sa?de da humanidade. No Brasil, a implanta??o do Sistema ?nico de Sa?de (SUS), em 1998, traz mudan?as para o modelo de aten??o ? sa?de da popula??o, no qual destaca-se, no ?mbito da aten??o b?sica, o Programa de Sa?de da Fam?lia (PSF), a partir de 1994. Neste contexto, apresenta-se um vasto campo de pr?ticas complementares utilizadas na promo??o ? sa?de na preven??o e tratamento de doen?as, o que favorece a compreens?o acerca dos h?bitos e cren?as que orientam as pr?ticas populares. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a percep??o dos usu?rios participantes do grupo Paz e Equil?brio da Unidade de Sa?de da Fam?lia de Nova Cidade - Natal/RN, iniciado em 1999, acerca da rela??o entre a viv?ncia da ora??o e as mudan?as que possam ter ocorrido na sua vida ap?s ingressarem no grupo. Trata-se de estudo de caso, de car?ter descritivo e abordagem qualitativa. Para a coleta de dados optou-se pela t?cnica de entrevista em grupo focal, o qual foi realizado entre janeiro e fevereiro de 2007, utilizando, como instrumentos, um question?rio de caracteriza??o dos pesquisados e o roteiro de discuss?o. O referencial te?rico abordou: a religi?o e a evolu??o do pensamento; as pr?ticas complementares na sa?de; e a religi?o como pr?tica complementar em sa?de. Os entrevistados apontam, como efeitos dessa viv?ncia: redu??o do estresse, da depress?o, aumento da socializa??o, da auto-estima, melhoria na intera??o familiar, conforto, seguran?a, melhoria dos n?veis de press?o arterial e diminui??o do uso de medica??o anti-hipertensiva e psicof?rmacos. Embora a aten??o aos aspectos religiosos e espirituais n?o seja considerada um complemento terap?utico efetivo na assist?ncia ? sa?de, pela maioria dos profissionais, a sua compreens?o e pr?tica podem democratizar saberes e rela??es, tirando, delas, aprendizados que tornem mais capazes a produ??o da sa?de, ampliando a seguran?a e a confian?a, desenvolvendo e aplicando tecnologias leves, que visam ? promo??o e ? integralidade da aten??o em sa?de

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / The present research examines the post-formative Islamic legal literature surrounding the question of women’s leadership to gauge whether and to what extent the development of Islamic legislation pertaining to women was determined by genderattitudes prevalent in Muslim society. There are three main theories to explain the prevalence of Islamic legal rulings divesting women of leadership roles. The first is the traditional view that these rulings are best explained by the application of the theoretical and hermeneutical approaches of classical Islamic legal theory to the Islamic source texts, the Qur’ān and Sunnah. The second is that the rulings are best explained as the consequence of the widespread gender attitudes in near-eastern society during the formative and early post-formative period of Islamic Law. The third is that legal inertia is the primary factor in explaining the existing post-formative Islamic legal corpus and little can be determined from it regarding the origin and early perpetuation of the laws. These competing theories are tested and explored by returning to a broad survey of Islamic legal texts from the four canonical schools of thought. The relevant passages from these texts are first translated and then examined according to three separate analytical approaches – a legal-hermeneutical analysis, an analysis of gender motifs, and a diachronic analysis of legal arguments – to explore the ways in which classical legal scholars arrived at and justified the prohibition of female leadership in politics, the judiciary, and congregational prayer.

The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (RCC) is a very expressive example when it comes to the themes of Youth and Religion. These religious groups manifest themselves in religious and nonreligious environments. In the charismatic case, they manifest themselves inside and outside the religious context mainly through the Prayer Groups (GO) in parishes and universities. The GO's are focused on prayer, praise, living of the gospel and especially to the experience with the Holy Spirit, while they are the bases of support of the charismatic movement. Such groups are also spaces for the diffusion of religious discourse, especially regarding the topic of sexuality in the case of youth groups. This work seeks, therefore, to understand the reality experienced by the young people of GO Semeador located in the City of Inhumas-GO. Based on Max Weber's theory of social spheres, this work seeks to understand the reality experienced by the young people of the GO and to understand how the group becomes a space for the diffusion of the official discourses of the Catholic Church, in view of the participant observation of meetings of the GO Semeador and the interviews with the young people who attend the group, notes influences of the papal discourses spread by the Catholic institution in the form of conceiving sexuality. In this way, we identify a tension between the social spheres, which are the religious and the erotic spheres, referring to the Catholic Christian conception of body and sexuality that focuses on a family pattern focused on procreation. Thus, the erotic sphere when conquering its relative autonomy, has its own rules in conceiving the body in the logic of sexual love. / No Brasil há diversos grupos religiosos que se articulam em torno de um público jovem. A Renovação Carismática Católica (RCC) é um exemplo bem expressivo quando se aborda as temáticas Juventude e Religião. Esses grupos religiosos se manifestam em ambientes religiosos e não-religiosos. No caso carismático, manifestam-se dentro e fora do contexto religioso principalmente por meio dos grupos de oração (GO) nas paróquias e nas universidades. Os GO são dedicados à oração, ao louvor, à vivência do evangelho e notadamente para a experiência com o Espírito Santo, ao mesmo tempo em que são as bases de sustentação do movimento carismático. Tais grupos também são espaços de difusão do discurso religioso, principalmente no que tange ao tema da sexualidade no caso dos grupos juvenis. Este trabalho buscou, assim, compreender a realidade vivenciada pelos jovens do GO Semeador localizado na cidade de Inhumas-GO. Tendo como base a teoria das esferas sociais de Max Weber, este trabalho procurou compreender a realidade vivenciada pelos jovens do GO e entender como o grupo se torna espaço de difusão dos discursos oficiais da Igreja Católica. Tendo em vista as observações participantes nas reuniões do GO Semeador e as entrevistas realizadas com os jovens que frequentam o grupo, constatou-se as influências dos discursos papais difundidos pela instituição católica na forma de conceber a sexualidade. Desse modo, identificou-se uma tensão entre as esferas sociais, principalmente entre as esferas religiosa e a erótica, referente à concepção cristã católica de corpo e a sexualidade que se centra em um padrão de família com foco na procriação. Assim, a esfera erótica, ao conquistar sua autonomia relativa, possui suas próprias regras ao conceber o corpo na lógica do amor sexual.
