nÃo hà / A avaliaÃÃo educacional brasileira, segundo o PISA, se reflete no quadro de desigualdades econÃmicas e sociais vivenciadas entre os hemisfÃrios norte e sul planetÃrios. A presente pesquisa objetiva investigar, de que maneira, a concepÃÃo e realizaÃÃo de uma atividade pedagÃgica colaborativa de experimentaÃÃo de bancada, apoiada por atividades pedagÃgicas de simulaÃÃo e modelagem computacional, pÃde contribuir para favorecer o desenvolvimento do processo de aprendizagem significativa. As atividades foram efetivadas enfatizando-se a construÃÃo e (re) significaÃÃo de conceitos de fÃsica, especificamente no tema eletricidade e circuitos elÃtricos. Foram inicialmente verificados os conhecimentos prÃvios dos alunos, atravÃs da aplicaÃÃo de questionÃrios de sondagem de conhecimentos. Em seguida, se realizaram aulas teÃricas, com foco na formaÃÃo de organizadores prÃvios. Em seguida, promoveram-se atividades fazendo uso pedagÃgico de software educacionais de simulaÃÃo e modelagem de circuitos de resistores elÃtricos, PhET e Crocodile, quando os alunos inter-relacionaram e/ou (re) significaram conceitos. Para tanto, vivenciaram e realizaram as mediÃÃes de grandezas elÃtricas e demais atividades propostas, sob a mediaÃÃo do presente Professor-Pesquisador. Numa etapa consecutiva, os alunos realizaram a prÃtica de experimentaÃÃo de bancada, relacionada ao mesmo tema anterior de circuitos elÃtricos, para (re) significar os conhecimentos dos alunos, partindo do estudo do brilho de lÃmpadas. Em todas as atividades laboratoriais, foram utilizados instrumentos de coleta de dados do tipo: gravaÃÃes de Ãudio e vÃdeo; respostas e relatos escritos pelos alunos nos roteiros das atividades de simulaÃÃo e modelagem computacional, atividade experimental de bancada e questionÃrios de sondagem de conhecimentos prÃvios e avaliaÃÃo da prÃtica pedagÃgica. A pesquisa classifica-se como qualitativa, exploratÃria e pesquisa-aÃÃo. No referencial teÃrico-metodolÃgico, destacam-se, como principais contribuiÃÃes, os pressupostos de: Dorneles, AraÃjo, Veit, no uso de software de simulaÃÃo e dificuldades de aprendizagem; Ribeiro et al., nos aspectos da integraÃÃo de laboratÃrios de experimentaÃÃo e simulaÃÃo, para facilitar o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem colaborativa, na qual destacam-se Ausubel, Novak e Valente; Moraes, Galiazzi e Okada, quanto ao mapeamento cognitivo da anÃlise textual discursiva; e Almeida, Prado e GÃes, quanto à anÃlise qualitativa de dados multidimensionais, com o uso do software CHIC. Sem perda de generalidade, a anÃlise dos dados de campo evidencia preliminarmente que: as atividades de simulaÃÃo e modelagem computacional contribuÃram para a formaÃÃo de organizadores prÃvios relativos a conceitos de eletricidade, leitura e interpretaÃÃo de medidas elÃtricas. Posteriormente, a atividade de experimentaÃÃo auxiliou os alunos a (re) significarem os conhecimentos de eletricidade e circuitos elÃtricos, as atividades de leitura, mediÃÃo e interpretaÃÃo de grandezas elÃtricas, auxiliando o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem significativa. A anÃlise dos resultados tambÃm revela indÃcios que, com a integraÃÃo entre as atividades de experimentaÃÃo de bancada e softwares de simulaÃÃo e modelagem computacional, os alunos, de forma colaborativa e minoritariamente cooperativa, (re) significaram e reelaboraram conhecimentos relativos a circuitos elÃtricos de resistores, porÃm, em determinados momentos, caracterizavam dificuldades de aprendizagem, pois nÃo conseguiam expressar suas concepÃÃes e argumentaÃÃes, de maneira a se apropriar corretamente dos conceitos de eletricidade.

As recomendações resultantes desse exame podem aplicar-se a diversos outros setores, na medida em que já levaram em conta os obstáculos máximos que se infligem à implementação de um governo aberto. A pesquisa faz uso de conceitos do Direito e da Ciência Política, com vistas a analisar, qualitativamente, de que forma a estrutura da política de acesso é mobilizada pela máquina pública quando esta recebe pedidos de acesso a informação; quais são os maiores obstáculos ao acesso, e que práticas podem ser adotadas para que o Estado brasileiro seja mais transparente. O primeiro capítulo cuida das novas formas de legitimidade da democracia contemporânea e demonstra a importância do aprimoramento do acesso a informação para a manutenção de um regime político saudável e apto a lidar com os anseios da sociedade atual por participação política não só eleitoral, mas também em sua dimensão monitória. O segundo capítulo contextualiza o acesso a informação no Brasil e reflete sobre os desafios específicos da seara nuclear, tratando de aspectos teóricos e históricos e sistematizando as normas que regem os temas da transparência e da proteção de informação sigilosa. O panorama indica que a Lei 12.527 / 2011 é pouco acionada no âmbito do Poder Judiciário, apesar de já fazer parte da rotina do Poder Executivo Federal, ao menos no que tange aos órgãos e entidades de alguma forma vinculados ao Programa Nuclear Brasileiro. O terceiro capítulo, enfim, contrapõe-se ao otimismo que poderia advir de uma análise somente quantitativa da responsividade da Administração Pública Federal aos pedidos de acesso, desvelando diversos obstáculos à transparência passiva. As recomendações apresentadas dizem respeito à necessidade de motivação das respostas denegatórias de acesso; aos processos decisórios em curso que ficam eternamente sob sigilo; à ausência de anonimato no sistema brasileiro de acesso a informação; à impossibilidade de consulta ou de qualquer modalidade de intervenção de terceiros interessados e aos encaminhamentos sucessivos e suas consequências para os prazos processuais. / The experience of making almost one hundred requests to the Brazilian nuclear sector, considered one of the most sensitive and strategic in Brazil, made it possible to develop a qualitative and juridical analysis of the context, practices and obstacles of access to information in the area of Federal Administration. The recommendations resulting from that examination may apply to a number of other sectors, as those recommendations have taken into account the maximum obstacles to the implementation of open government. The research uses concepts of Law and Political Science, with a view to analyzing qualitatively (i) how the structure of the access policy is mobilized by the public machine when it receives requests for access to information; (ii) what the biggest obstacles to access are; and (iii) what practices can be adopted to make the Brazilian state more transparent. The first chapter looks at the new forms of legitimacy of contemporary democracy and demonstrates the importance of improving access to information for maintaining a healthy political regime—capable of dealing with the aspirations of today's society for political participation, not only in electoral terms, but also in its monitory dimension. The second chapter contextualizes the access to information in Brazil and reflects on the specific challenges of the nuclear sector, dealing with theoretical and historical aspects and systematizing the norms that rule the subjects of transparency and the protection of confidential information. The panorama indicates that Law 12,527/2011 is referenced very little in lawsuits, although it is already part of the routine of the Executive Power, at least when involving the organs and entities linked in some way to the Brazilian Nuclear Program. Finally, the third chapter contrasts with the optimism that could arise from a quantitative analysis of the responsiveness of the Federal Administration to requests for access, revealing several obstacles to passive transparency. The recommendations presented concern (i) the need to motivate the denial of access; (ii) the ongoing decisionmaking processes that are forever under secrecy; (iii) the absence of anonymity in the Brazilian system of access to information; (iv) the impossibility of consulting or of having any form of interested third parties’ intervention; and (v) the successive referrals and their consequences to the procedural deadlines.

Introdução: A abordagem \"Health at Every Size®\" (HAES®) vem sendo utilizada para o cuidado de pessoas com obesidade. Objetivo: Compreender os efeitos de uma nova intervenção interdisciplinar baseada na abordagem HAES®, especialmente acerca dos processos de escolhas alimentares. Métodos: Este foi um ensaio clínico prospectivo randomizado controlado, de sete meses, que empregou o desenho de métodos mistos. Cinquenta e oito mulheres obesas compuseram a amostra e foram alocadas aleatoriamente nos grupos intervenção (I-HAES®, n = 39) ou controle (CTRL, n = 19). A intervenção do grupo I-HAES® consistiu em uma nova proposta de cuidado baseada na abordagem HAES®, consistindo de atividade física três vezes por semana, atendimento nutricional individual quinzenal e cinco oficinas filosóficas. Já a intervenção do grupo CTRL consistiu em uma intervenção tradicional baseada nesta abordagem, consistindo de palestras bimestrais. Para ambos os grupos foram feitos ao início e final da intervenção exames de sangue, testes de função muscular, aferição de peso corporal e das circunferências da cintura e quadril, além do preenchimento de escalas e questionários autoaplicados. Duas entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas e dois grupos focais foram conduzidos com todas as participantes. Os dados qualitativos foram analisados pela técnica da análise de conteúdo e os quantitativos pelos softwares estatísticos SAS e SPSS. Resultados: Embora ambos os grupos tenham reportado melhoras na qualidade da alimentação, estas foram mais expressivas no grupo I-HAES®. Essa melhora se relacionou com o maior engajamento com experiências culinárias e com o aumento no planejamento da alimentação. Outras estratégias que impactaram positivamente nas escolhas alimentares desse grupo foram comer com atenção, com tempo adequado e de acordo com as sensações de fome e saciedade. Inicialmente, as participantes de ambos os grupos relataram que seus corpos traziam consequências físicas e psicológicas negativas, impactavam na sua autoavaliação e eram alvo de estigmatização. Posteriormente, grande parte do grupo I-HAES® reportou que, embora a perda de peso ainda fosse uma expectativa, elas estavam satisfeitas com outros ganhos que tiveram, não colocavam mais a perda de peso como central para sua felicidade e entenderam que as mudanças se dariam em longo prazo. O peso corporal, o índice de massa corporal e as circunferências da cintura e quadril não diferiram significativamente intra ou entre grupos (p > 0,05). O grupo I-HAES® apresentou aumento no consumo de oxigênio máximo e no teste funcional -timed-stand? (P = 0,004 e P = 0,004, comparação entre grupos). Não foram observadas diferenças intra ou entre grupos para as medidas objetivas de atividade física, embora a maioria das participantes do grupo I-HAES® tenha reportado estar engajadas ou ter planos para incluir atividades físicas em suas rotinas. Ambos os grupos apresentaram melhoras relacionadas à qualidade de vida, mas no grupo I-HAES® estas foram mais expressivas. Conclusões: Uma nova intervenção baseada na abordagem HAES® pareceu superior a uma intervenção tradicional. Embora não tenham sido observadas mudanças no peso corporal e em níveis de atividade física, essa nova intervenção melhorou as escolhas, atitudes e práticas alimentares das participantes, sua percepção de imagem corporal, capacidade física e qualidade de vida. / Introduction: The \"Health at Every Size®\" (HAES®) approach is being more and more used to the care of people with obesity. Objective: To understand the effects of a new interdisciplinary intervention based on the HAES® approach, especially regarding food choice processes. Methods: This was a prospective, seven-month, randomized, controlled, mixed-method, clinical trial. Fifty-eight obese women composed the sample and were randomly allocated into the intervention (I-HAES®) or control (CTRL) groups. The I-HAES® intervention consisted of a new proposal of care based on the HAES® approach, comprising physical activity classes three times a week, biweekly individual nutritional sessions, and five philosophical workshops. The CTRL intervention consisted of a traditional intervention based on this approach, comprising bimonthly lectures. Both groups were assessed at the beginning and after the intervention for blood tests, aerobic condition, body weight and waist and hip circumferences, muscle function, in addition to the filling of scales and questionnaires self-administered. Two semi-structured individual interviews and two focus groups were conducted with all participants. The qualitative data were analyzed using the content analysis technique, whereas the quantitative data were analyzed using the statistical software SAS and SPSS. Results: Although both groups reported improvements in food quality, they were more expressive in the I-HAES® group. It seems that this improvement was related to this group higher engagement with culinary experiences and the increase in food planning. Other strategies that positively impacted on the food choices of this group were eating mindfully, deliberately, and in response to hunger and satiety cues. Initially, participants of both groups reported that their bodies had negative physical and psychological consequences, impacted their self-assessment, and were subject to stigmatization. After the intervention, most of the I-HAES® group reported that although weight loss was still an expectation, they were satisfied with other gains they had, no longer placed weight loss as central to their happiness and understood that the changes would take place in the long term. Body weight, body mass index, and waist and hip circumferences did not differ significantly within or between groups (p > 0.05). I-HAES® showed increased peak oxygen uptake and improved performance in the timed-stand test (P = 0.004 and P = 0.004, between-group comparisons). No significant within- or between-group differences were observed for objectively measured physical activity levels, although most participants in the I-HAES® group reported that they were engaged in or had plans to include physical activities in their routines. Both groups presented improvements related to quality of life, but in the I-HAES® group these were more expressive. Conclusions: A new intervention based on the HAES® approach seemed superior to a traditional intervention. Although no changes were observed in body weight and physical activity levels, this new intervention improved participants\' food choices, eating attitudes and practices, their perception of body image, physical capacity and quality of life.

Abstract The purpose of this research was to study the actorship of occupational safety and health delegates and managers and the development of their actorship as part of their respective work organizations and the systems of occupational safety and health (SOSH), especially in the context of cooperation. Qualitative (N = 119) and statistical (N = 125) data and analysis were used at the same time. In January 2001, there was an advertisement in the Työ Terveys Turvallisuus (Work Health Safety) magazine inviting occupational safety and health delegates and managers to report about the course and prospects of their career as well as their experiences of success and dificulties. The average report was two pages in length and compact. Almost all people who responded to the invitation were sent a SOSH questionnaire. The NVivo2-software was used for qualitative analysis and partly also for statistical analysis, and the purpose was to find structural entities and invariance. The statistical analysis was mainly concerned with SOSH. The most important aspects of action are the object and the outcome in relation to the facilities, division of tasks, community and rules within the operating system. The object and the change of action were investigated by shaping different ways of objectifying and understandings their background. There are three levels of the objectifivation: 1) one-dimensionality of the working environment, 2) multi-dimensionality of the micro system and 2) multi-dimensionality of the meso system. Historical development proceeds from the first through the second towards the third level, because the phenomena of the organizational and working environment are progressively understood as more and more many-faceted and interactional. The change of the ways for objectification also proceeds through three historical phases: 1) the phase of safety at work and the physical working environment, 2) the expanding phase towards a psychosocial working environment and working ability and 3) the expanding phase towards occupational well-being, holistic organizational development and active leadership. The interaction and cooperation are important themes in the actions of OSH delegates and managers. When the scope of interaction and the activity of leadership are cross-classified four alternatives emerge: 1) conflicting, 2) asymmetric, 3) symmetric, and 4) synergic modes of OSH cooperation. In the same axial situation, it is possible to make a typology of the enterprises and other work organizations: 1) defensive and solid, 2) passive and uncoordinated, 3) active and coordinated, and 4) totally managed and renewing. When the level of OSH cooperation and the ability to endure and produce conflicts of values and objects are cross-classified, six types of OSH delegates and managers can be identified: 1) assistant, 2) representative, 3) marketer, 4) auditor, 5) developer, and 6) adviser. Each of them is better consistent with some organizational types than some others. Typical personal strategies are 1) submissiveness and reactiveness, 2) marketing, 3) proactiveness, and 4) professional skills for development. The typical causes of success in OSH include the activity, commitment and support of leaders and managers (70%), on the personal characteristics, ways of action and activity of OSH delegates and managers on the other (70%). / Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää työsuojeluvaltuutettujen ja -päälliköiden toimijuutta ja sen kehitystä osana omaa työorganisaatiota ja sen työsuojelujärjestelmää erityisesti yhteistoiminnallisuuden näkökulmsta. Tiedonhankinnassa ja analyysissa käytettiin samanaikaisesti laadullisia ja tilastollisia keinoja. Tapausten lukumäärä laadullisessa aineistossa oli 125 ja tilastollisessa aineistossa 119. Laadullisessa analyysissa käytettiin hyväksi NVivo2-tietoteknistä analyysiohjelmaa. Kyselytutkimuksen aineistolla selvitettiin työsuojelun yhteistoiminta-aktiivien näkökulmasta työsuojelujärjestelmien tilannetta. Toiminnan kohdetta ja sen muutosta tutkittiin selvittämällä työsuojelun yhteistoimintahenkilöstön kohteellistamistapoja ja -ymmärryksiä. Aineistosta erottuu kolme kohteellistamisen päätasoa: 1) työympäristön yksiulotteisuus, 2) mikrotason systeemisyys ja 3) mesotason systeemisyys. Kehitys kulkee ensiksi mainitusta kohti viimeksi mainittua, mikä voidaan selittää sillä, että asiat ymmärretään ajan kuluessa organisationaalisesti yhä monitahoisemmin, monitasoisemmin ja vuorovaikutteisemmin. Työsuojelun yhteistoiminnalle erityiset muodot saatiin valitsemalla ulottuvuuksiksi yhteistoiminnan kohdealueen laajuus ja johtamisen aktiivisuus. Tällöin saadaan nelikentän lohkoille nimet 1) ristiriitainen, 2) epäsymmetrinen, 3) symmetrinen ja 4) synerginen. Työsuojelun yhteistoiminta-aktiivien selostusten perusteella oli mahdollista analysoida ja tyypitellä heidän toimintakenttänään olevia yrityksiä ja organisaatioita. Tällöin yhdistettäessä tarkastelu-ulottuvuuksiksi yhteistoiminnan kohdealueen laajuus ja johtamisen aktiivisuus saadaan organisaatiotyypeiksi 1) jähmettynyt ja defensiivinen, 2) passiivinen ja koordinoimaton, 3) osittaisjohdettu ja aktiivinen sekä 4) kokonaisjohdettu ja uudistuva. Jaoteltaessa työorganisaation yhteistoiminnallisuus kolmeen eri tasoon ja toisaalta työsuojelun yhteistoimintahenkilön kyky tai tapa kohdata ristiriitoja kahteen eri tasoon saadaan 6-osainen typologia: 1) avustaja, 2) edunvalvoja, 3) markkinoija, 4) katselmoija, 5) kehittäjä ja 6) neuvonantaja. Kukin tyyppi kehitysvaiheena mahdollistuu todennäköisimmin jossakin organisaatiotyypissä, joka vuorostaan kehitysvaiheena tuottaa tietyt edellytykset ja tarpeet kyseisen tyypin, eli tietyn rooli- ja tehtäväkokonaisuuden, omaksumiseen. Vastaavasti strategisina perusvaihtoehtoina saadaan nelikenttä, joka jakaantuu seuraavasti: 1) reaktiivisuus ja alistuvuus, 2) markkinoivuus, 3) proaktiivisuus ja 4) kokonaisvaltaisuus ja kehittäjäammatillisuus. Työsuojelutoiminnan onnistuneisuuden syistä tärkeimmiksi mainitaan yhtäältä omistajien ja johdon aktiivisuus, tavoitteellisuus, sitoutuneisuus, kiinnostuneisuus ja tuki, sekä toisaalta työsuojelun yhteistoimintahenkilöstön henkilökohtaisen ominaisuudet, toimintatapa ja aktiivisuus. Molemmat tekijät saavat kaksikolmasosan osuuden vastauksissa. Johdon ja omistajien kokonaismerkitys tulee esille, kun vaikeuksien syinä johdon passiivisuus, tavoitteettomuus, tietämättömyys, osaamattomuus ja kielteisyys saavat 52 %:n osuuden selostuksissa. Työsuojeluvaltuutetut ja -päälliköt joutuvat tehtävässään toimintaedellytysten ja ristiriitojen kenttään, jonka merkitys jaksamisen ja toiminnan mielekkyydelle on pitkällä aikavälillä riippuvainen toimintaedellytysten ja ristiriitojen laadusta ja niiden välisestä suhteesta. Työpaikkakohtaisen työsuojelujärjestelmän tilaa erittelevät tulokset osoittavat, että lähes kaikissa tarkastelukohteissa on yleisesti ottaen kehittämisen ja parantamisen varaa. / Sammanfattning Syftet med denna forskning är att redogöra för skyddsombudens och -chefernas verksamhet och redogöra för utvecklingen för verksamheten, i synnerhet ur samarbetets synvinkel, som en del av den egna arbetsorganisationen och det egna systemet för arbetarskyddsarbetet. I undersökningen används både kvalitativa och statistiska metoder. Skyddsombuden och -cheferna ombads genom en annons i tidningen Työ Terveys Turvallisuus berätta om sin egen karriär i arbetarskyddsarbetet, samt om sina erfarenheter och åsikter, om framgångar och svårigheter i samarbetet. Till alla som skrev sändes också ett frågeformulär som innehöll frågor om egenskaper av systemet för arbetarskyddsarbetet. I det kvalitativa materialet var antalet fall 125 och i det statistiska materialet 119. Stora företag och organisationer, kommuner och skyddsombud utgjorde majoriteten av forskningsmaterialets svar. Det finns tre objektiva nivåer i verksamheten: 1) arbetsmiljöns endimensionalitet 2) mikronivåns systematik och 3) mesonivåns systematik. Utvecklingen sker från den första mot den sistnämnda, de organisatoriska förbindelserna mellan olika nivåer blir med tiden ännu mångsidigare och har större växelverkan. Ur den organisationspolitiska synvinkeln har utgångspunkten varit till slutet av 1980-talet en riskhanteringspolitik som har strävat till att hindra förluster. I början av 1990-talet har personal- och utvecklingspolitiken kommit med i bilden, till exempel som personalekonomisk beräkning och rapportering, som upprätthållande och främjande av arbetsförmåga, samt som kvalitetsverksamhet. Målet i arbetarskyddsarbetet har utvidgats till organisationspolitikens område. Den följande fasen kan vara en integrerad politik för resultat och arbetsvälmåga. I förändringen av målinriktningarna kan man skilja på tre nivåer och faser vilka utvidgar sig till 1) arbetssäkerhet och fysisk arbetsmiljö 2) till arbetsförmåga och psykosocial arbetsmiljö 3) till välmående, holistisk utveckling och aktiv ledning. Växelverkan och samarbete delar sig på fyra utvecklingshistoriska faser beroende på ledningens aktivitet och arbetarskyddsarbetets omfattning 1) motstridig 2) osymmetrisk 3) symmetrisk och 4) synergisk. Också arbetsorganisationerna kan med samma princip delas i fyra typer 1) stelnad och defensiv, 2) passiv och okoordinerad, 3) delvis styrd och aktiv och 4) helt styrd och förnyande. Skyddsombuden och -cheferna kan delas i sex typer på grund av den personliga förmågan att ta emot, orsaka och undvika konflikter, och den organisatoriska förmågan att samarbeta: 1) assistent, 2) representant, 3) marknadsförare, 4) mönstrare, 5) utvecklare och 6) rådgivare. Det finns behov att utveckla nästan alla delområden i arbetarskyddsarbetet inom arbetsorganisationerna.

Due to the airliners and aircraft operators pressure on reducing the operating costs, the diagnostic systems are included in aircraft, so that the wearness of single functional elements of other functional systems can be monitored. This monitoring can save money, that are usually spent on maintenance and especially, it leads to an increase of the overall safety of aircraft operations. The task of this work is to design a diagnostic system for small transport aircraft. For the right and proper design, is the correct understanding of the functions of each part on aircraft systems needed. The part of this work is attended to the selection procedure of appropriate diagnostic parameters, next section deals with the suitable options of their scanning. I do mention the summary of the chosen diagnostic parameters for the scanning and the recomended ways of their measuring.

This thesis deals with the matter of risk managament in IT projects. It explains the importance of risk management in such projects and shows different ways and methods of managing and analyzing the risks. After explaining the basic concepts and the various phases of risk management the text focuses on two methods of risk analysis - the fault tree analysis of event tree analysis. Use of both methods is explained for both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The second half of the work includes the design of an application for the support of risk analysis employing the methods of fault tree analysis and event tree analysis. This is followed by a description of the implementation of the proposed system in a web environment using jQuery, Nette Framework and Dibi.

Diploma thesis "Cellulite as a social phenomenon: Analysis of Czech Press" deals with the topic of origination and development of a conception of cellulite as an illness and defect to the beauty in Czech press and also deals with constructing of this phenomenon in present time. The aim of the study was to analyze and show how the conception of cellulite, thanks to which a normal physiological fact changed into a defect to the beauty and to an illness, was developed and medialized, by using a brief quantitative analysis of Czech press as a whole, a brief quantitative analysis of the research sample and consequently a qualitative analysis of this research sample. Hereafter the aim of the diploma thesis was also seeking of an answer to a question to what extent cellulite is an construct created by advertising industry and manufacturers of cosmetic devices and products, which is abusing and supporting normative imaginings of ideal female body and beauty.

The diploma thesis focuses on changes of the life of the German minority that was living in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s, in connection with the then press. The thesis deals with an influence of the reviving process, which is called Prague Spring and then the period of normalization on the progress of status of the German minority in the Czechoslovakia. The thesis presents events of the year 1968, that are related to the national minorities policy which led to reception of the Constitutional Act No. 144/1968 Coll., about the status of the national groups in the state. I also analyse the activisation of the members of the German minority for the purpose of formation of their cultural association named "Kulturní sdružení občanů ČSSR německé národnosti" (the Cultural association of the citizen of the German nationality in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic), which was enabled on the ground of the aforesaid constitutional law. The text also deals with the start of the period of normalization and its consequences for the German minority. The thesis also analyses the Czechoslovak media at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s with special regard to the only periodical press in the German language called the "Prager Volkszeitung". A very important part of the text is...

Emergent change is a pervasive force in modern organisations. However, the subjective experiences of emergent change for frontline individuals and teams have not been explored in organisational change literature. The integrative field of applied neurosciences offers valuable insights into the underlying neural mechanisms that shape these experiences and drive responses in order to meet basic psychological needs. Using interactive qualitative analysis (IQA), this study involved a focus group and follow-up interviews with nine participants at a South African software development company to explore the experiences of emergent change at work. System dynamics reflected that these experiences are significantly more complex than literature and practice currently account for, and that individuals and teams find their experiences of emergent change to threaten their sense of safety and basic psychological needs. The physiological and emotional experiences were found to be driving elements. Peak performance state and the relational environment were found to be salient outcomes. Findings present the opportunity for the reconceptualisation of emergent change, a shift in focus from change itself to the human experiences thereof and the importance of embracing new possibilities, tools and practices for meeting needs and thriving in an ever-changing world. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.
