Orientador: Ana Maria Canesqui / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciências Médicas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-17T06:51:27Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Tissi_MariaCristina_M.pdf: 3557192 bytes, checksum: dad1b6c33197bda58a8ee5c2778be9e6 (MD5) Previous issue date: 1998 / Resumo: O trabalho tem sido tratado no campo da reabilitação de pessoas com deficiências fisicas como um fator de integração social. Frente às transformações atuais nos processos produtivos, a inserção de pessoas com deficiências no mercado formal de trabalho tem se mostrado complexa, sendo o setor informal visto como uma alternativa que poderia representar maiores condições de acesso e permanência. A temática deficiência e trabalho foi abordada em relação a pessoas com deficiências fisicas que atuam no setor informal como vendedores ambulantes na cidade de São Paulo, numa perspectiva exploratória e de corte qualitativo. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com pessoas com deficiências que at 1am no comércio ambulante, buscando colher depoimentos que retratassem as condições nas quais se realiza a ocupação no comércio ambulante e as representações elaboradas sobre as deficiências, o trabalho, a saúde e a doença, procedendo-se a análise temática dos mesmos. A inserção no trabalho, ainda que marcada por processos de exclusão social, acentuados no contexto específico de repressão aq comércio ambulante movida pela Prefeitura do Município, manifesta-se, contraditoriamente, como uma forma de inclusão, possibilitando oportunidades de integração econômica e de realizações no plano da sociabilidade, dadas nos planos concreto e simbólico. Em outro plano de análise tem-se que as representações das deficiências elaboradas pelos entrevistados opõem-se às representações das pessoas sadias, aproximando-se mais às concepções que elaboram das pessoas doentes. Contudo, concebem a si próprios com os atributos que qualificam as pessoas sadias, não estendendo, porém estas representações para o segmento de pessoas com deficiências. Enquanto portadores de deficiências, contrapõem-se às representações que predominam socialmente acerca das deficiências, às quais associam-se a improdutividade, a inutilidade, a dependência, a carência, entre outros elementos. Nesta direção, expressam-se os esforços realizados pelos entrevistados em reelaborar, a partir das dificuldades enfrentadas no dia-a-dia, as representações dominantes / Abstract: ln the field of rehabilitation to people with physical impairments work has been treated as a factor of social integration. Disabled's insert in the formal workplace seems to be complex in front of the current transformations in the productive processes. The informal section has being noticed as an altemative that could represent larger access and permanence conditions. The thematic deficiency and work was approached in relation to people with physical impairments that act in the informal section as street paddler in the city of São Paulo, in an exploratory perspective and of qualitative court. There were accomplished semi-structured interviews with disabled persons that act in the street trade, to colect testimonys that reveal the conditions in which the occupation takes place and the representations elaborated on disabilities, work, health and disease, using thematic analysis. The integration in workplace, although marked by processes of social exc1usiqh, accentuated in the specific context of repression to the street trade moved by the City hall of the Municipal district, contradicting, is an inc1usion way, facilitating opportunities of economic integration and of accomplishments, concrete and symbolic, in the plan of the sociability. ln another analysis plan the representations of disable elaborated by the interviewees oppose the representations about healthy people's, approaching to the conceptions of the sick people. However, they conceive their selves with the attributes that they use to qualify the healthy people, even so not extending these representations for disabled social segment. ldentifying themselves as disabled persons they oppose to representations that prevail socially concerning disabilities, associated to unproductiveness, uselessness, dependence, lack, among other elements. ln this direction, they expresses his efforts to elaborate the dominant representations, starting from the difficulties faced in the everyday life / Mestrado / Ciências Sociais em Saúde / Mestre em Saude Coletiva

Psychological, Social, and Immunological Outcomes following Marital Separation

Hasselmo, Karen Elizabeth, Hasselmo, Karen Elizabeth January 2017 (has links)
Close relationships play an integral role in human health (Coan & Sbarra, 2015). It follows, then, that the dissolution of an important relationship can have a variety of negative health consequences (Amato, 2010; Kitson & Morgan, 1990; Sbarra, Law, & Portley, 2011), and social loss confers vulnerability to a range of morbidities and early mortality. Disrupted marital status is one of the strongest sociodemographic predictors of stress-induced physical illness (Somers, 1979) and marital disruption has long been reported as one of life's most stressful events (Bloom, Asher, & White, 1978). Robust evidence links divorce or separation to poorer health outcomes; however, the exact mechanisms through which relationship dissolution influences our health so profoundly are not yet fully elucidated (Sbarra, Hasselmo, & Bourassa, 2015). The current study investigated how changes in psychological responses to divorce are associated with changes in immune responding in recently-separated adults (N = 55). I followed participants over an average of five months, collecting psychological distress measures at three visits, each one month apart, and immune measures at two visits, five months apart. To assess how variability in social engagement is associated with immunological responses following the end of a marriage, I incorporated naturalistic, observational data using a new methodology. I found that an objectively derived composite of social behaviors including (a) time spent with others; (b) time spent socializing/entertaining; (c) time spent in substantive conversation; and (d) time spent receiving positive support predicted concurrent immune outcomes over and above the effects of psychological distress and/or loneliness, and that psychological distress may exert indirect influence on immune outcomes through social integration. Furthermore, attachment style revealed differential longitudinal associations between social integration and immune outcomes. This research expands current knowledge on the immune-relevant outcomes of divorce and separation, and includes new methodology for naturalistically-derived measures of social engagement in determining how this common life stressor is associated with health over time.

Community safety and social solidarity: the role of neighbourhood watch organisations in effecting social integration and cohesion in Cravenby, Ravensmead and Parow West

Mweyeleka, Tshipama January 2014 (has links)
Magister Artium - MA / The study explored and examined new forms of social relations at the interpersonal, community and institutional levels that have emerged in the social organisation of Neighbourhood Watch Organisations in Parow West, Parow East, Ravensmead and Cravenby, in the Western Cape. The objective of the research was to understand how social solidarities generated through participation in neighbourhood watch organisations, institutional partnerships and working principles influenced and fostered the development of social solidarity, social integration and social cohesion of local communities and a new sense of nationhood. Towards the above end the study made use of a Functionalist perspective based on Durkheim’s concepts of mechanical and organic social solidarity. These functionalist concepts were used to identify and to examine the new forms of social cooperation and associations that emerged in the context of local neighbourhoods, and formally in neighbourhood watch organisations and partnerships engaged in residential property crime preventive measures. The study design which was employed to probe social solidarities in neighbourhoods and local communities made use of qualitative research methodologies. The empirical data was collected from in-depth, semi-structured interviews, as well as focus group discussions with all respondents belonging either to the neighbourhood watch organisations. Alternatively respondents were also drawn from related institutions involved in residential property crime prevention, such as the SAPS. And finally, the data was interpreted within a Durkheimean framework of social solidarity in order to reflect on the extent to which Neighbourhood Watch Organisations have played a significant role in building social solidarity, integration and cohesion in Parow West, Parow East, Ravensmead and Cravenby. This was ultimately done in order to establish an empirical basis to consider the extent to which South African society has moved from apartheid to liberal democratic values and practices from the ground up in Neighbourhood Watch Organisations.

Student persistence among foreign students at a faith-based higher education institution in the Western Cape

Raymond, Romeo Ernest January 2021 (has links)
Magister Educationis (Adult Learning and Global Change) - MEd(AL) / The notion of student persistence is one that remains a topic for lifelong learning. Many scholars pursue an understanding of this phenomenon yet it remains an unsaturated subject for further studies. Furthermore, many countries embrace international students in their universities and colleges for various reasons. South Africa is no different. The intake of international students at this particular institution of interest is mainly faith-based; many of these students are associated with the same faith or have some religious background. Combining the two phenomena (persistence and international studentship) seems an area that could open doors to new knowledge. So I ask the question: “Do foreign students persist more consistently than local students/nationals? And if so, why?” This then formed the basis for my key question in this study: “What are the relationships between social integration and student persistence?”

Disability in Lee Han's Social Integration Films

Han, Dasom 05 August 2021 (has links)
The thesis examines four films by Lee Han—Wandeugi (2011), Thread of Lies (2013), A Melody to Remember (2016) and Innocent Witness (2019)—that highlight disability problems in contemporary South Korea. While exposing the prejudice against and misunderstanding of people with disabilities embedded in society, these motion pictures promote social integration through development of trusted relationships and effective communication within familial structures. The representations of disability indicate that the cinematic images of exclusion can reinforce disabled characters' marginalized identity and promote inclusive efforts among the viewer at the same time. Through textual, cultural, theoretical analysis, it is argued that the films progressively decrease discriminative description of disability and gradually empower isolated individuals, making Innocent Witness an exemplary disability rights film.

Ke ya rona (it is ours): a review of the levels of community engagement towards the sustainable development of community arts centers in South Africa focusing on shared ownership.

Monnakgotla, Palesa January 2018 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Cultural Policy and Management, 2018 / This research report assesses the extent of community engagement practiced at Sibikwa Arts Centre in Benoni and Funda Community College in Soweto. This is done to ascertain the effectiveness of community engagement in terms of shared ownership of the community and the community art centre managers; it also determines its contribution to the sustainable development of the community and the arts. This is necessary because South African community art centres are recognized as dysfunctional as they have been utilized for purposes other than the arts and are noted as experiencing managerial problems, leadership problems, as well as that of insufficient funding. Therefore, the factors of community engagement that are examined in this research are the method/s used, the objective of the method/s, the effectiveness of the method/s according to Arnstein’s ladder of citizen participation and the effectiveness in terms of community and sustainable art development. The report concentrates on measuring the centres engagement with their surrounding communities, and how this has directly contributed to the operations of the centres. Based on the case studies and drawing parallels from international case studies, the report proposes a developed model of community engagement that could be implemented broadly in South African art centres in an effort towards the progressive functioning of community art centres. / XL2019

Mellan isolering och integration : En kvalitativ studie kring social isolering och integrering bland unga invandrare / Between isolation and integration

Dudzinska, Oliwia January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund: Integration och invandrare eller social isolering bland invandrare är ett ämne för diskussion. Med den senaste tidens ankomst av ett stort antal invandrare till Sverige är det värt att fokusera på olika aspekter när det gäller assimilering av invandrare på en ny plats. Viktigt i detta ämne är invandrarnas politiska, hälso- och kompetensperspektiv.Problem: Invandrare som är unga eller äldre ungdomar kan stöta på problem med integration i ett nytt land, men också börja isolera sig från samhället på grund av bristen på integration. Syfte: Syftet med detta arbete är att genom intervjuer visa hur invandrare uppfattar integration, hur de känner isolering, men också vad som är vägen till framgångsrik integration.Metod: I denna studie består av kvalitativa intervjuer. Det är sju intervjuer och alla är unga eller unga vuxna från Polen och Rumänien. Resultat: Processen för invandrare integrering främjas av skola, bra bemötande, kunskaper i svenska språket och vänskap med etniska invånare. Men trots detta är fenomenet social isolering bland invandrare ofta oundvikligt.Slutsats: Det är viktigt att veta att unga som kommer till ett nytt land inte alltid klarar integrationen bra. De känner sig ofta ensamma, saknar sitt hemland, familj och vänner. Många saker gör att de isolerar sig, trots det frekventa fenomenet att försöka integreras i det svenska samhället. Det beror på många personliga läggningar. Det är viktigt att invandrare känner sig respekterade och accepterade, men också att de känner att de tillhör samhället

Trying to Make it “Feel Like Home”: The Familial Curriculum of (Re)Constructing Identities and Belonging of Immigrant Parents Living in Finland

Chajed, Avanti January 2022 (has links)
With globalization and migration of people and ideas becoming an increasing reality around the world, the needs of immigrant families and students is vital for countries to consider, particularly within their educational systems. This is true especially in the Nordic countries, where the national discourse of equality and egalitarianism are increasingly questioned due to increased awareness of inequality in society as immigration from outside of Europe continues to rise, particularly in Finland. Multiculturalism and integration are thus a relatively new but pressing concepts gaining attention in the Finnish education system. Research in the Nordics that has looked at approaches to integration has typically looked at the institutional practices of integration, particularly in schools, but research on families’ responses to these efforts has often not been nuanced enough to consider their experiences holistically and in depth. Literature from the Nordics has often also taken deficit perspectives on immigrant families and their communities. This study takes an asset-based, narrative approach to understand the knowledge of immigrant parents of their experiences with schools in Finland and their aspirations for the education of their children. Using a sociocultural framework to understand identity as constructed through practice, it combines narrative inquiry with ethnographic approaches to decolonize research on immigrant families in the Nordics. Through the narratives of three racialized immigrant parents, their experiences with belonging and engaging in practices that span across national borders allow for new conceptualizations of integration that move beyond traditional assimilationist and deficit perspectives.
