A presente dissertação tem como tema o processo de formação de um coletivo de estudantes da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, intitulado Grupo de Trabalho de Ações Afirmativas (GTAA), que se propôs a estudar e reivindicar a implementação do sistema de cotas, nas modalidades étnico-racial e socioeconômica, na referida universidade. O intuito foi o de investigar tal processo, buscando fatores que explicassem sua ocorrência no contexto estudado, envolvendo os indivíduos participantes, o período histórico e as condições estruturais da instituição que permitiram seu surgimento. Aliando propostas teóricas sobre a ação social a partir da constituição de “projetos” individuais e coletivos e de estudos sobre ações coletivas a partir da noção de “estrutura de oportunidades políticas”,interrogou-se o objeto de estudo para captar o que concedeu sustentação a esta organização. A conclusão a que chegou-se é a de que a pauta cotas, menos do que por seu conteúdo intrínseco, foi adotada pelos membros do grupo como forma de atribuírem significados às suas atuações enquanto graduandos, face à disponibilidade encontrada para tal proposta, demonstrando que são nas “situações sociais” que produzem-se os fundamentos para o surgimento de ações políticas que buscam suas transformações. / The theme of this essay is the process of forming a collective of students from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, entitled Working Group on Affirmative Action (GTAA), which proposed to study and claim the implementation of the quota system, in modalities ethnic-racial and socioeconomic, at that university. The aim was to investigate this process, seeking factors that explain its occurrence in the context studied, involving individuals who participated, the historical period and the frame conditions of the institution that allowed its emergence. Combining theoretical proposals about the social action from the constitution of “projects” individual and collective and studies about collective action based on the notion of "political opportunity frames," the object of study was questioned to found what gave sustention to this organization. The conclusion arrived is that the agenda of quotas, less than its intrinsic content, was adopted by the group members as a way to assign meanings to their actions as graduates, given the availability found for this proposal, showing that are in the "social situations" that are produced the elements for the emergence of political actions that seek their transformations.

Foi utilizada a Análise Situacional para verificar Situações de Ação ocorridas entre 2001 e 2009 consideradas mais significativas, do ponto de vista do jogo de interações proveniente, sobretudo, do posicionamento dos atores governamentais e dos residentes em arena. Concluiu-se que a manutenção de populações residentes na Unidade de Conservação, mesmo sob regime de Proteção Integral, em Zonas de manejo especial, denominadas Histórico-Culturais Antropológicas, não impede e pode contribuir com a integridade da biodiversidade, quando estas são incluídas no processo decisório através de mecanismos participativos, integradores e reconhecidos como legítimos. Esses mecanismos foram construídos no âmbito do Conselho Consultivo fundamentados na formulação de pactos de ordenamento territorial e acordos de uso dos recursos naturais. Os pactos puderam ser concluídos e obtiveram maior êxito conforme: a disposição que os atores apresentaram em negociar, as relações de confiança estabelecidas e os argumentos agregaram motivações. As demandas provenientes dos residentes evoluíram ao longo do período sob investigação de necessidades básicas relacionadas a acesso à cidadania (direito à infra-estrutura e serviços públicos, moradia, alimentação e trabalho) até a titularidade da terra e maior autonomia de gestão do território. Portanto, os pactos formulados sempre significaram acomodações temporárias aos conflitos do momento, que gerariam novas necessidades a serem assimiladas ao patamar de negociação atingido, através de novas rodadas de negociações. Isso implica a aceitar que os conflitos, em especial de uso de territórios e recursos naturais não são solucionáveis, mas sim, geradores de possibilidades potenciais de negociação, diretamente relacionados à capacidade de governança instalada na localidade / Abstract: This investigation focused the decisive processes related to the administration of populations' presence, with focus in the restrictions to the use and access to the natural resources inside the Picinguaba Nucleus of the Serra do Mar State Park. The Situation Analysis was used to check Action Situations occurred between 2001 and 2009 considered more significant, in the point of view of the originating interactions game, especially of the positioning of the government actors and the residents in arena. It was concluded that the maintenance of resident populations in the Preservation Unit, even under Integral Protection regime, in Zones of special handling, Anthropologics Historical-Cultural denominated, does not prevent and can contribute with the biodiversity integrity, when these are included in the decisive process through participatory mechanisms, integrators and recognized as legitimate. These mechanisms were built in the scope of the Advisory Board based in the formulation of territorial zoning pacts and use agreements of the natural resources. The pacts could be concluded and have obtained larger success according to: the disposition that the actors presented in negotiating, the established reliable relationships and the arguments aggregated motivations. The proceeding residents' demands evolved along the period under investigation of basic needs related on access to the citizenship (right to infrastructure and public services, dwelling, alimentation and work) even the land titularity and larger autonomy in territory administration. Therefore, the pacts formulated always meant temporary accommodations to the moment conflicts, which would generate new needs to be assimilated to the platform of hit negotiation, through new bouts of negotiations. That implies in accepting that the conflicts, especially of territories use and natural resources, are not solvable, but generators of negotiation potential possibilities, directly related to government capacity installed in the place / Doutorado / Aspectos Sociais de Sustentabilidade e Conservação / Doutor em Ambiente e Sociedade

Cette thèse en théologie pratique s’intéresse à la prise en compte de la dimension spirituelle des personnes en situation d’exclusion, accueillies par les associations protestantes d’action sociale. Le travail a été conduit sous la forme d’une enquête par entretiens, sur le terrain d’intervention d’une trentaine d’associations en France métropolitaine. Il propose un modèle d’accompagnement spirituel aconfessionnel, adapté au champ de l’action sociale, centré sur la personne en précarité, et mené par une équipe d’accompagnants. Cet accompagnement aconfessionnel garde toute sa pertinence au sein d’une association protestante,en tant que vocation de l’Église à être « aux côtés » des personnes en précarité. Il s’écarte de la poïménique traditionnelle, et se distingue de l’aide sociale. Le modèle propose des voies de facilitation pour l’émergence de la spiritualité des personnes en précarité, et aborde la question de la formation des accompagnants spirituels. / This thesis in pratical theology considers the spiritual dimension of socially-excluded personswho benefit from protestant associations engaged in social action. The research isbased on interviews conducted among about thirty associations in metropolitan France. Itproposes a person-centered, non-confessionnal model of spiritual care adapted to the fieldof social action, and led by a team of caregivers. This non-confessionnal support is particularlyrelevant within protestant associations, considering the vocation of the Church tostand ‘alongside’ people in their vulnerability. It departs from traditional pastoral counselingand from social assistance. The model provides ways of facilitating the emergenceof a spirituality among people in situations of social exclusion, and tackles the training ofspiritual caregivers.

Teachers have an undeniable influence on youth, on whose shoulders tomorrow rests. It is vital for teachers to be conscious of their role in both the local and global community in order to facilitate occasions for students to develop a sense of global consciousness. By imparting to students the desire to learn and to explore their interactions with things, people and experiences, and actively pursue knowledge, they develop critical literacy skills required to both acquire understanding and be(come) understood. Through this research study, the implications of applying David Diamond’s community drama work called Theatre for Living, as an effective and critical literacy practice to enhance social conciousness within a middle school, is assesssed. The program was implemented in a split grade 7/8 and grade 8 classroom in southwestern Ontario. The study exemplifies for educators a practical yet significant step for initializing and developing a broad sense of awareness in students; that is the sense of global consciousness.

The emotional aspect of caregiving is extremely complex and caregivers face tremendous emotional challenges as they react to the reality of their loved one's increasing disability. When it comes to making the placement decision, caregivers have frequently reached a burnout point in making decisions.

Den här studien syftar till att söka förståelse för tatuerade personers individuella uppfattningar kring betydelsen av deras tatueringar, samt kring tatueringar på en generell nivå. Vidare har vi haft för avsikt att undersöka hur tatuerade personer upplever omgivningens uppfattningar och bemötande utifrån tatueringarna. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats med främst ett induktivt förhållningssätt, vilket emellertid även innefattar vissa deduktiva inslag. Vidare intar studien idealism och konstruktivism som ontologiska ståndpunkter med en hermeneutisk och interpretativistisk epistemologi. Insamlandet av empiriskt material har skett genom semistrukturerade intervjuer.   Resultat i studien visar att tatueringar utgör en betydande komponent i en individs identitetsskapande vilket samverkar med individens omgivning. Resultatet visar även att tatueringarna och dess symbolik kopplas till individens relation till omgivningen och dess roll som samhällsvarelse i vilken samhälleliga normer och uppfattningar tillägnas och tolkas. Slutligen visar resultatet att tatueringar och tatuerande som aktivitet kan återspegla det samtida samhället och dess utmärkande drag. / The aim of this study is to seek an understanding of the individual perceptions of tattooed persons about the significance of their tattoos, as well as of tattoos on a general level. Furthermore, we intended to investigate how tattooed people perceive the surroundings' perceptions and attitudes based on the tattoos. The study has a qualitative approach with mainly an inductive approach, which, however, also includes some deductive elements. Furthermore, the study adopts idealism and constructivism as ontological positions with a hermeneutic and interpretivist epistemology. The collection of empirical material has been done through semi-structured interviews. Results in the study show that tattoos are a significant component of an individual's creation of identity which interacts with the individual's surroundings. The result also shows that the tattoos and their symbolism are linked to the individual's relationship to the environment and its role as a social being in which societal norms and perceptions are assigned and interpreted. Finally, the results show that tattoos and tattoos as an activity can reflect the contemporary society and its distinctive features.

Text in German / The present dissertation considers the historical and theological foundations of radical evangelicalism and puts it in the context of theologies which influenced it and are similar to it. It will be demonstrated that the evangelicals are enriched by radical evangelicalism - an evangelical basic concept with elements of anabaptism, the social gospel, liberation theology and the ecumencial theologies. Thus it will be demonstrated that radical theology is genuinely evangelical, yet is capable of overcoming the one sidedness of western evangelical theology. Special attention is given to the contributions of radicals from North America as well as from Latin America since they are of considerable importance to radical evangelicalism. The aim of the dissertation is to present radical evangelicalism, to critically evaluate it, and to make it profitable to the European evangelical scene. The first section names the sources from which radical theology flowed. The second section reviews the historical development of radical evangelicalism. It will be demonstrated that, in the thirty years of its existence, radical evangelicalism has become a significant factor within the worldwide evangelical movement. The third section presents the fundamental characteristics of radical theology within a selection of themes. It demonstrates that the radicals have confronted the evangelical movement with a transforming theory of mission, which shows itself to be relevant for today's pressing problems. The fourth section describes the social action of radical evangelicalism and demonstrates that the energetic theology of the radicals is in fact based on a compelling spirituality. The fifth section records the results of the investigation and presents conclusions for praxis and further theological study. / Die voriiegende Dissertation erfasst die geschichtlichen und theologischen Grundlinien des radikalen Evangelikalismus und stellt ihn in den Kontext ahnlicher und ihn beeinflussender Theologien. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass der radikale Evangelikalismus eine evangelikale Grundkonzeption mit Elementen des Anabaptismus, des Social Gospel, der Befreiungstheologie und der Theologien im Umfeld des Okumenischen Rates der Kirchen bereichert Dabei wird deutlich, dass die radikale Theologie genuin evangelikal ist, die Einseitigkeiten der westlichen evangelikalen Theologie aber zu uberwinden vermag. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit ist den Beitragen radikaler Nord- und Lateinamerikaner gewidmet, da diese den radikalen Evangelikalismus wesentlich gepragt haben. Ziel ist es, den radikalen Evangelikalismus darzustellen, kritisch zu wiirdigen und fur die europaische evangelikale Szene fruchtbar zu machen. Der erste Teil nennt die Quellen, aus denen sich die radikale Theologie speist. Der zweite Teil zeichnet den geschichtlichen Werdegang des radikalen Evangelikalismus nach. Es wird nachgewiesen, dass der radikale Evangelikalismus in den dreissig Jahren seines Bestehens zu einem bestimmenden Faktor in der weltweiten evangelikalen Bewegung geworden ist. Der dritte Teil stellt die Grundzuge der radikalen Theologie mittels ausgewahlter Themen dar. Er zeigt auf, dass die Radikalen die evangelikale Bewegung mit einer transformatorischen Missionstheorie konfrontiert haben, die relevant fur die drangenden Probleme der Gegenwart ist. Der vierte Teil stellt die soziale Aktion des radikalen Evangelikalismus dar und zeigt auf, dass die energische Theologie der Radikalen im Grande genommen zur Tat driingende Spirituality ist. Der funfte Teil halt die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung fest und zieht Folgerungen fur die Praxis und das weitere theologische Arbeiten. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.

This study sought to explore gender issues affecting management promotions in Malawi's health care services, utilising both qualitative and quantitative techniques in data collection and analysis. Promotion patterns were compared and contrasted for male and female managers. The study was based on the assumptions that • both men and women were aware of experiences that affected their promotion opportunities • promotion patterns showed fewer variations than did cultural, social and gender factors • male prejudices were maintained which oppressed women's promotions • increased decision-making power lowered stress about professional growth and development The findings supported the first two assumptions, but not the last two. The findings suggested that males and females encountered similar experiences concerning managerial promotions in Malawi's health care services. Factors that enhanced management successes for both males and females included management orientation and mentorship. Unclear promotion policies and procedures hindered management promotions. Information derived from this research could enable policy-makers to establish an environment that increases supportive networks and interactions between male and female managers in Malawi. Furthermore, to ensure equal opportunities in the health care services management, monitoring strategies by Malawi's Ministry of Gender, the Department of Human Resources Management and Development, and the Ministry of Health and Population need to be established and implemented. / Health Studies / D.Litt. et Phil.
