Este trabalho analisa, de modo comparativo, a política externa dos governos Geisel (1974-1979) e Lula (2003-2010). Busca-se evidenciar que houve uma “continuidade matizada” na diplomacia brasileira nos dois períodos: muito embora não se vislumbre um processo sem quaisquer rupturas em termos de política externa entre 1974 e 2010, assiste-se à retomada, pelo governo Lula, de diretrizes, métodos e argumentos de política externa prevalecentes à época do governo Geisel. Assume-se que essa retomada esteve ligada a semelhanças relacionadas à concepção do interesse nacional e à adoção de uma estratégia realista de inserção internacional – a despeito de cada um dos governos deparar-se com cenários internacionais diversos e dispor de recursos de poder distintos. / This study analyses the Brazilian foreign policy under Geisel (1974-1979) and Lula (2003-2010) administrations by using the comparative method. One of the study‟s core objectives is to show that one can observe a “relative continuity” in the Brazilian diplomacy during both periods: even though one cannot observe a process without any rupture in the Brazilian foreign policy from 1974 to 2010, it is possible to verify that Lula administration resumed some guidelines, methods and rationales which were employed by the Brazilian foreign policy during Geisel administration. It is assumed that this resumption is related to national interest concept and the adoption of a realist strategy aimed at widening Brazil‟s international projection – in spite of different international contexts and different power resources.

Problématique : Il est de plus en plus clair que la pérennité des systèmes de santé repose en partie sur un élargissement des soins offerts par des équipes de première ligne. Il existe de nombreux exemples de modèles de soins primaires performants dans plusieurs pays. Par contre, en général, le Québec peine à atteindre ses objectifs d’accessibilité, d’équité et d’efficience. Les études s’accumulent sur l'importance des soins infirmiers en soins de santé primaire, mais elles fournissent peu de données sur comment entreprendre ces changements en fonction des éléments contextuels propres à chaque milieu. La complexité des interventions à mettre en place pose de nombreux défis. Objectif : Ce mémoire rapporte les résultats d'une revue réaliste portant sur l'optimisation de la contribution des infirmières dans les équipes interprofessionnelles en soins de santé primaire. Méthodologie : Pour ce faire, une analyse de la littérature, basée sur la revue réaliste et l’analyse logique, a permis de déterminer des caractéristiques structurelles désirables de modèles de services de première ligne qui tendent à une contribution étendue ou optimisée des équipes interprofessionnelles. Résultats : La revue réaliste a permis d'élaborer deux typologies analytiques permettant d'établir des bases de fonctionnement cohérentes pour améliorer la performance des modèles de services de première ligne. Conclusion : Ces typologies souhaitent ultimement faciliter l'utilisation des données probantes aux décideurs afin de soutenir les processus de transformation nécessaires en première ligne au Québec. / Background: It increasingly appears that the sustainability of health systems depends in part on expanding the care provided by primary care teams. There are many examples of successful primary care models in several countries. However, Quebec generally fails to meet its objectives of accessibility, equity and efficiency. There is growing evidence on the importance of nursing care in primary health services, but it provides little actionable advice on how to reform primary care models given the diversity of clinical settings. The complexity of the interventions needed to reform primary care models is a challenge. Objective: This research reports the results of a realist review on optimizing the contribution of interprofessional and nursing teams in primary health care. Method: An analysis of the literature based on the realist review and the logic analysis was conducted to determine the desirable structural characteristics of health care services models that tend to an extended or optimized contribution of interprofessional teams. Results: The realist review helped to develop two analytical typologies to establish coherent operating bases to improve the performance of models of primary health services. Practice implications : These typologies ultimately aim to facilitate the use of evidence for decision makers to support the necessary transformation processes of primary health care in Quebec.

The paper explores the human-environment relationship in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. It argues that every impact on humans by the environment or by human-made objects is initially triggered by human actions. The paper questions humans' and objects' agency. Furthermore, the essay argues that the environment either helps or impedes the novel's characters, which according to the book, can be solved by collaboration.

Furthermore, upholding an perception concerning definition of security and the impact of a finalized Nord Stream 2-project. Consequently, comprehend the understanding with a liberal and realistic perspective interpreting of the case and the controversial infrastructure project. For a comprehensive apprehension of security, military-, environmental-, energy- and economy security is given. To investigate the scientific problem, a qualitative case study with content analysis is utilized. I will argue of using the criteria contained in the theory that my questions to be answered. All safety dimensions have been considered to be affected, some more than others. At the same time, insecurity is being expressed regarding the military security surrounding increased military activity in the Baltic Sea which could lead to a NATO membership. Higher water temperature and contamination of the seawater is reflected in the environmental security. The effect on energy security is considered to be higher on the agenda after the impact of the Navalny-case, regarding for a reliable trade partner. At the same time, financial security is affected on the basis regarding job insecurity.

The rapid and sustained development of the rural regions of South Africa continues to pose an extraordinary challenge to the development community of the country. Policy makers continue to be overwhelmed by the lack of development in the rural areas in spite of the various efforts made to develop them. A review of the publications and development plans of the study region indicates that the planners have for long been pre-occupied with taking limited perspectives of the development planning problems. Development plans have been conceived and implemented in terms of individual sectors instead of looking at their relations with other sectors and regions. This study seeks to make a contribution to the solution of the development problems of the rural areas of the former homeland regions by demonstrating how an integrated approach to the research process and to development planning could make a difference to the lives of the rural communities. This theme is illustrated with reference to the rural energy sector and its relations with the broader regional development problems, challenges and plans of the Sekhukhune district municipality of the Limpopo Province. / GEOGRAPHY / MA (GEOGRAPHY)

Pendant la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, Lima était une ville en train de se moderniser grâce à la richesse du guano. Dans les années 1870 émerge un groupe de femmes de lettres qui s'appuient sur la presse et les institutions littéraires. Elles trouvent des espaces ouverts à leur expression artistique et à leurs idées comme les Veladas Literarias. Après la Guerre du Pacifique (1879-1883), après l'occupation de la ville de Lima par l'armée chilienne, quelques intellectuels ont évolué vers une écriture plus critique de la société. Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera (1842-1909) est la première romancière au Pérou avec une production très importante. Elle construit ses romans à partir d'un regard sociologique sur la condition de la femme, car elle croit que de cela dépend la transformation morale de la société, et par conséquent le progrès.Nous développons notre recherche en trois parties. Dans la première, nous nous occupons du contexte politique, social et culturel et de l'éducation en particulier des femmes de lettres comme Cabello. Dans la deuxième partie, nous analysons les articles et les six romans de Cabello divisés en trois périodes (les romans traditionnels, les romans de la réécriture et les romans de la transgression) ; finalement, dans la dernière partie, nous établissons une comparaison avec d'autres femmes de lettres de l'époque : Soledad Acosta, Colombienne, et Emilia Pardo Bazán, pour distinguer la singularité du réalisme péruvien, et la représentation de la femme, par rapport à la production littéraire d'autres pays hispanophones. / During the second half of the 19th century, Lima was a city in the process of modernization thanks to the wealth proved from the exploitation of the guano. In this context, in the 1870's, emerges a group of women of letters, supported by the press and the principal literary institutions. They find receptive spaces to their ideas and artistic expressions as the Veladas Literarias. Nevertheless, after the War of the Pacific (1879-1883) and especially after the occupation of Lima city by the Chilean army, some intellectuals changed their literary proposal toward one more critical of the society. Among them, one of the most prolific and important was Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera (1842-1909). She constructed her novels with a sociological concern to the condition of women because she believes that they are responsible for the moral transformation of the society and, therefore, its own progress.This dissertation is structured in three parts. The first deals with the political, social and cultural context in which the women of Lima were formed, especially the women of letters such as Cabello. The second part will examine six novels and several articles by the author. With this purpose we have subdivided her work in three parts (traditional novels, novels of the rewriting and novels of the transgression). Finally, we have made a comparison with two contemporaneous female writers of the same period, Soledad Acosta de Samper (Colombian novel) and Emilia Pardo Bazán (Spanish novel), to attempt to distinguish the singularity of Peruvian realism and the representation of women in relation to the literary production of other Spanish-speaking countries.

<p>Sammanfattning</p><p>Vi har undersökt hur kreditprocessen påverkas ur kredithandläggarens perspektiv, av att det kreditsökande småföretaget använder sig av en extern rådgivare eftersom tidigare forskning tyder på att det blivit svårare för dessa företag ett erhålla finansiering från banker. Ändringen i förmånsrättslagen 2004 är en bidragande faktor till småföretagens prekära situation eftersom det försämrade bankens utdelning vid en eventuell företagskonkurs. När en småföretagares kunskaper inte räcker till, kan en extern rådgivare konsulteras för vägledning i kreditprocessen. Vårt syfte med uppsatsen var att beskriva kredithandläggarnas uppfattning om den externa rådgivarens olika funktioner i kreditprocessen samt att analysera hur kreditprocessen påverkas av att en extern rådgivare agerar i småföretagets intresse. Vi har genom en kvalitativ undersökning och studerat fyra kredithandläggare i fyra olika banker med erfarenhet av vårt ställda problem och fångat deras respektive betraktelser. Resultaten pekar på att respondenterna upplever problemet på ett liknande sätt och våra huvudsakliga slutsatser har framkommit efter att vi studerat den externa rådgivarens olika funktioner i kreditprocessen. Konsultation av extern rådgivning innebär att kunskap tillförs i kreditprocessen vilket leder till att ett mer genomarbetat beslutsunderlag kan presenteras för banken. Vidare ger en extern rådgivare legitimitet åt kredithandläggarens beslutsunderlag och ökar därmed förtroendet för småföretaget vilket kan förbättra relationen mellan de två sistnämnda parterna. En risk har belysts för kredithandläggaren med att den externa rådgivaren undanhåller viktig information eftersom denne har ett egenintresse av att småföretaget beviljas krediten då det kan leda till ett fortsatt framtida samarbete dem emellan. </p><p>Abstract</p><p>We have investigated the effect on the credit process out of the creditor’s point of view, when a small business consults an external adviser since earlier research indicates that it has become more difficult for these businesses to provide capital from banks. The alteration in the Law of priority in debtor’s property on credits 2004 is a contributory cause to the small businesses precarious situation since it deteriorated banks dividends in a possible liquidation. If a small businessman’s knowledge doesn’t ad up, an external adviser can be consulted as guidance in the credit process. Our purposes with this essay were to describe the creditor’s opinion regarding the external adviser’s different functions in the credit process and to analyze the effect on the credit process when an external adviser acts in the small business interest. Through a qualitative investigation we have studied four creditors in four different banks with experience from our named problem and captured their respective reflections. The result indicates that our creditors experience the problem in a similar way and our main conclusions have emerged by studying the external adviser’s different functions in the credit process. Consultation of an external adviser represents that knowledge provides the credit process which lead up to more thoroughly decision-making data to present for the bank. An external adviser also concedes legitimacy towards the creditor’s decision-making data and increases thereby the confidence towards the small business which can improve the relation between the two last mentioned parties. A risk have become elucidated for the creditor which means that the external adviser withhold important information due to ones own interest that the small business gets granted the credit since it can lead to a continuous future collaboration between them.</p>
