A cidade de Gravataí está inserida em uma área de ocupação açoriana desde século XVIII e traz na Festa do Divino, características dessa bagagem cultural. Para alcançarmos esse objetivo trabalhamos com fontes orais, documentais e bibliográficas que nos permitiram perceber o cenário da festa e seus atores principais ao longo do período estudado. Além disso, nos valemos da iconografia e das fontes jornalísticas para aprofundar a análise e perceber as nuanças da prática festiva na cidade o que nos levou a estruturar a dissertação em três capítulos. Por fim, destacamos que a relevância desta pesquisa se dá também na constatação de que a festividade auxilia na escrita da história da cidade de Gravataí. / This work aims to show the trajectory of the Divine Holy Spirit Feast in the city of Gravataí/RS in centuries XX-XXI, seeking to highlight the factors that led to his interruption in the decade of 1970. The city of Gravataí is inserted in an area of Azorean occupation since the 18th century and brings in the Feast of the Divine, characteristics of this cultural baggage. To achieve this goal we work with oral sources, documentary and bibliographical references which have allowed us to perceive the scenario of the feast and its principal actors throughout the period studied. In addition, in relied on iconography and journalistic sources to deepen the analysis and understand the nuances of practice in the city the festive that led us to structure the dissertation in three chapters. Finally, we highlight that the relevance of this research is also gives the observation that the feast assists in writing of the history of the city of Gravataí.

The research sought to understand how and why this space was occupied, what is your singularity and how it was - and still is today - the process of this memory s construction. The research aims to analyze objects of material culture produced for the Feast and seeks to identify the relation between the meanings of the symbols and their representations in the collectivity of the community. The ritual objects chosen for this study are the verônicas of alfenim and the paper masks and flowers. The verônica is a gift from the Divine Empire and is associated with the devotional practices of popular religiosity. The masks and flowers express the popular culture in comic and festive irreverence of his masked ones. Therefore, we believe that knowledges, arts of making and the tradition are supported by a memory and builds collective and individual identities. We understand that the Feast merges with the history of the city, the family history and with the life history of the individual. The Feast causes great movement and popular involvement, and, more than that, a family involvement that supports the duty networks. The devotion to the Divine and the experience in the Feast are part of the very essence of the individual, the constitution of his identity, his memory, his life / A Festa do Divino Espírito Santo da cidade de Pirenópolis, no estado de Goiás, ocupa um espaço especial no imaginário coletivo da comunidade. A pesquisa buscou compreender como e por que esse espaço foi ocupado, qual sua singularidade e como foi - e é ainda hoje - o processo de construção dessa memória. Para tanto, o trabalho propõe analisar objetos da cultura material produzidos para a Festa e busca identificar a relação estabelecida entre os significados dos símbolos e suas representações na coletividade da comunidade. Os objetos rituais escolhidos para o estudo são as verônicas de alfenim, as máscaras e as flores de papel. A verônica é presente do Império do Divino e está associada às práticas devocionais da religiosidade popular. As máscaras e as flores expressam a cultura popular na comicidade e irreverência festiva de seus mascarados. Para isso, entendemos que os saberes, as artes de fazer e a tradição são sustentados por uma memória e constroem referências identitárias coletivas e individuais. Foi possível constatar que a Festa se confunde com a história da cidade, com a história familiar, com a história de vida do indivíduo. A Festa provoca grande movimentação e envolvimento popular, e, mais que isso, um envolvimento familiar que se respalda nas redes de obrigação. A devoção ao Divino e a vivência na festa fazem parte da própria essência do indivíduo, da constituição de sua identidade, de sua memória, de sua vida

No mesmo ano de 1844 as duas grandes leituras sobre a relação entre a economia política e a filosofia de Hegel foram estabelecidas pela primeira vez. De um lado Rosenkranz apontava para as questões envolvidas naquilo que a Filosofia do direito (1821) abarcava sob o nome de sociedade civil. De outro, Marx apontava para a importância da noção de noção de trabalho, especialmente na Fenomenologia do espírito (1807). Sem se alinhar definitivamente com nenhuma destas duas tradições, esta pesquisa se propõe a analisar esta influência tanto no campo mais restrito da sociedade civil, quanto no tema do trabalho, buscando articular estes dois campos a partir do processo de abstração que se impõe como base do trabalho, se desdobra na sociedade civil (multiplicação de carências, abstração do trabalho, valor, colonização) e aponta para o espírito absoluto (estado e história mundial). Veremos que este processo de abstração (que se impõe também como base da linguagem) é a condição negativa do advento do espírito, precisamente por fazer do mundo (o ser, a exterioridade) propriedade do espírito. / In the same year of 1844, the two major readings of the relationship between political economy and Hegelian philosophy were established for the first time. On one side, Rosenkranz pointed the questions concerning what the Philosophy of Right (1821) designated as civil society. On the other, Marx pointed to the importance of the notion of labor, specially in the Phenomenology of the Spirit (1807). Without definitely align with either of these two traditions, this research proposes itself to analyse this influence both in the more restricted field of civil society and in the theme of labor, searching to articulate this two fields from the abstraction process that imposes itself as the groundwork of labor, unfolds itself in the civil society (multiplication of needs, abstraction of labor, value, colonization) and points to the absolute spirit (state and world history). We shall see that this process of abstraction (which also imposes itself as groundwork of language) is the negative condition for the coming of the spirit, precisely for transforming the world (the being, the exteriority) property of the spirit

Então, na tragédia, a necessidade do conceito, ainda inconsciente-de-si, se aproxima do conteúdo de vida do destino do herói trágico, assim como a linguagem do aedo deixa de ser impessoal (como na epopéia) e participa ativamente desse conteúdo como ator. Este participa ativamente do drama e interfere no mesmo, sua linguagem denota o pathos do herói. A tragédia antiga começa, pois, a realizar a unidade dos deuses tão reclamada pelos filósofos da antiguidade, e irá desembocar na comédia onde se processará a absolutização do Si e a passagem da consciência feliz para a consciência infeliz. A progressiva manifestação do Espírito pode ser traduzida pelo movimento de saída da substância imediata, visto na religião da arte, que suprassume os momentos da obra-de-arte abstracta e da obra-de-arte vivente, a resultar na obra-de-arte espiritual. Esse movimento consiste no sair da substância em direção ao Si, pois, este reivindica o reconhecimento da sua singularidade pelo coletivo. Ademais, o Si criador da singularidade na religião da arte e no desembocar da tragédia, é instrumento para o autoconhecimento do Espírito, em seus momentos, no tempo, porquanto, sua consciência-de-si revela-se a si mesma mediante as potências universais ofendidas e que reclamam vingança, pois tal religião da arte é como que um espelho do conteúdo do Espírito. Este conteúdo efetivamente presente é, pois, em-si, uma coisa, e, para a consciência, outra. O direito de cima e o de baixo recebem a significação de que o primeiro representa a potência que sabe e que se manifesta à consciência, e, o segundo toma a significação da potência que se subtrai à consciência e se esconde no mundo subterrâneo das Erínias. Esta mesma religião da arte também aguça o espírito e faz alçar a imaginação e a fantasia de todos os espectadores até às alturas da consideração de sua peculiar vida na cidade, do direito humano e do direito divino um sendo o caráter feminino, e o outro, o masculino no caudal da necessidade lógica e que é o próprio destino do Espírito total. A tragédia mostra para a consciência-de-si que não há existência que não seja já de per si cindida e que tal oposição vem a ser o máximo bem de toda a unidade do Espírito / The Greek tragedy, in the Hegelian scheme, is situated as an eloquent sign of the final moment of the religion of art, then, is this step that takes place a painful schism between the state law and the family law. Then, in the tragedy, the need of the concept, still unconscious-of-itself, approaches the content of the life of the tragic hero s fate, as well as the language of minstrel ceases to be impersonal (as in epic) and actively participates in this content as actor. He actively participates in the drama and can interfere in the drama, its language indicates the pain of the hero. The ancient tragedy begins, then, to realize the unity of the gods as claimed by the philosophers of antiquity, and will culminate in a comedy in which happens the process of the absolutism of the Self and the passage of the happy consciousness for the unhappy consciousness. The progressive manifestation of the Spirit can be translated by the movement of get out of immediate substance, viewed in the religion of art, which supersedes the moments of the abstract work of art and of the living work of art, resulting in the spiritual work of art. This movement means the output of the substance for himself, because it claims the recognition of their uniqueness by the collective. Moreover, the Self is the creator of the singularity in the religion of art and, in the development of tragedy, is tool for self-knowledge of the Spirit in its moments, in the time, because his self-consciousness reveals itself through the universal powers offended and to seek revenge, because such a religion of art is like the mirror of the Spirit. This content is actually present, therefore, in itself, is a thing, and to the consciousness another. The right upper and the lower receive the significance that the first represents the power that knows, which manifests itself to consciousness, and, the second takes the meaning of power that escapes the consciousness and hides in the underworld of the Erinyes. This same religion of art sharpens the mind and imagination of all spectators to get up a flight to the heights of the consideration of his life in the city, the human and divine right - the first one as the female character, and, the second, the male - in the flow of logical necessity and that is the fate of total Spirit: the tragedy shows that there is no existence that is not already divided in itself and that this opposition is to the highest good of all the unity of the Spirit

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a contribuição de um clube de química para formação do espírito científico de alunos do Ensino Médio. O espírito científico, discutido por Bachelard (1996) em seu livro \"A formação do espírito científico\", propõe uma mudança no ser. Ao ocorrer a evolução do espírito, o homem se torna mais crítico e independente com seus conhecimentos, torna-se um ser que valoriza o pensar, que questiona o universo e que não se contenta com representações rudimentares e busca explicações arquitetadas. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que para ocorrer a evolução do espírito, três fatores devem ser levados em conta: ter conhecimento sobre a natureza das ciências, possuir domínio de conceitos científicos que forem necessários para a resolução dos problemas trabalhados e disposição para imersão em problemas científicos. Para isso foi planejado um Clube de Química, que foi desenvolvido no Museu da Ciência professor Mario Tolentino, onde foram aplicadas atividades investigativas a alunos do ensino médio. Com a criação do Clube foi possível realizar um estudo piloto que permitiu o teste e a validação dos instrumentos de coleta de dados, a criação das atividades investigativas teórico-práticas e a melhora do planejamento das atividades e do cronograma do Clube. Para coleta de dados foram utilizados questionários aplicados no início do Clube para levantar o espírito científico dos participantes, roteiro de observação e entrevista com o professor, além das respostas das atividades investigativas. Para análise foi realizada a triangulação dos dados. A análise foi baseada nas características de cada estado do espírito científico discutidas na teoria do desenvolvimento do espírito científico. Com os instrumentos de coleta foi possível levantar indícios de transformações no espírito dos participantes e indicadores de que alguns dos alunos podem estar superando algumas características do estado concreto, como a experiência imediata, o exaltar a natureza e as primeiras imagens observadas dos fenômenos. Os alunos também aparentaram estar mais envolvidos com temas científicos e passaram a questionar mais segundo as observações e entrevista com a professora. Foi possível observar que o desenvolvimento do espírito científico é fruto de um trabalho contínuo e extenso. Em relação às atividades, concluiu-se que a utilização dos dois tipos de método investigativo (teórico e prático) é mais adequada, no sentido de que é garantido ao aluno um espaço para refletir sobre a teoria, organizar seus conhecimentos e discutir com a turma e o mediador. Enquanto a parte prática, além desse espaço, proporciona um momento onde ele irá colocar em prática tudo aquilo que foi pensado e discutido. Pesquisas futuras longitudinais podem ser realizadas para estudar a contribuição da participação no Clube de para o desenvolvimento do espírito científico de seus participantes. / The present work had the objective of evaluating the contribution of a chemistry club to the formation of the scientific spirit of high school students. The scientific spirit, discussed by Bachelard (1996) in his book \"The formation of the scientific spirit\", proposes a change in the self. When the evolution of the spirit occurs, the person becomes more critical and independent with his knowledge, he becomes someone who values thinking, who questions the universe and who is not satisfied with rudimentary representations and seeks architectural explanations. It was assumed that for the evolution of the spirit to occur, three factors must be taken into account: to have knowledge about the nature of the sciences, to know the scientific concepts that are necessary for the resolution of the problems worked and a willingness to be immersed in scientific problems. To this end, a Chemistry Club was planned, which was developed at the Museum of Science Professor Mario Tolentino, where investigative activities were applied to high school students. With the creation of the Club, it was possible to conduct a pilot study that allowed the testing and validation of data collection instruments, the creation of theoretical-practical inquiry activities and the improvement of the planning of the Club\'s activities and schedule. To collect data were used questionnaires applied at the beginning of the Club to raise the scientific spirit of the participants, observation script and interview with the teacher, in addition to the responses of research activities. For the analysis, the data were triangulated. The analysis was based on the characteristics of each state of the scientific spirit discussed in the theory. With the data collection instruments it was possible to raise indications of transformations in the participants\' minds and indicators that some of the students may be overcoming some characteristics of the concrete state, such as immediate experience, the exalting nature and the first observed images of the phenomena. The students also appeared to be more involved with scientific topics and began to question more according to the observations and interview with the teacher. It was possible to observe that the development of the scientific spirit is the result of continuous and extensive work. In relation to the activities, it was concluded that the use of the two types of inquiry activities (theoretical and practical) is more adequate, in the sense that to the student is guaranteed a space to reflect on theory, organize their knowledge and discuss with the class and the mediator. While the practical part, beyond this space, provides a moment where it will put into practice everything that was thought and discussed. Future longitudinal research may be undertaken to study the contribution of participation in the Club to the development of the scientific spirit of its participants.

<p>En framgångsfaktor vid internationell tjänst är att samspelet mellan samtliga enheter fungerar friktionsfritt. Detta underlättas om samtliga enheter känner varandra innan rotation till missionsområdet. I framtiden kommer hela förband som har kontraktsanställda soldater rotera ner, dock innehar inteförbanden samtliga funktioner för att lösa alla arbetsuppgifter i missionsområdet. Vid dessa fall lånar man in enheter från andra förband. Inlåningar kan skapa friktioner mellan enheterna. Detta är en fallstudie utav KS14, där man valde att förstärka styrkan med enheter som innehade kompetens inom specialområden. Syftet med denna studie är att skapa en förståelse varför det uppstod friktioner inom KS14 när den förstärktes med en ny enhet. Frågeställningarna är följande: Varför blev det motsättningar mellan KS14 och förstärkningsstyrkan? Hur motsättningar tog sig uttryck? Hur kan dessa motsättningar förklaras? För att besvara frågorna har intervjuer gjorts med tre personer som var med i KS14. Undersökningen visar att det uppstod ett ”vi- och dom” känsla mellan KS14 och den förstärkande enheten. Skälen till detta var dels bristen på kommunikation vad det gäller information om den nya enheten och dels att KS14 hade en historia tillsammans. Dessa motsättningar togs i uttryck genom att man vanhedrade minnestavlan, kom på nedvärderande slogans samt ignorerade förstärkningsstyrkan. Detta berodde på bristen av kommunikation, information och öppenhet mellan de bägge parterna.</p> / <p>A success factor in service abroad is the interplay between all the units work smoothly.This is made easier if all the units know each other before rotating to the area of operation.

In these cases, it borrows in units from other battalions. These attachments may create frictions between the units. This is a case study out of KS14, which chose to reinforce the contingent with a unit with expertise in specialized areas. The purpose of this study is to create an understanding why there was friction within KS14 when it was reinforced with a new unit. The questions are: Why were there differences between KS14 and reinforcing unit? How the frictions expressed? How do you explain these frictions? To answer these questions interviews have been made with three people who were with the KS14. The study shows that there was an "us and them" feeling between KS14 and the reinforcing unit. The reasons for this were the lack of communication when it comes to information on there inforcing unit and that KS14 already had a history to gether. These frictions were reflected in by disgraced the plaque, came in disparaging slogans and ignored the reinforcing unit.

Aim: Team spirit is a concept often used in both managerial literature and in other contexts where the efficiency of a group is discussed. Despite the fact that team spirit is used as a selling point for courses, books and seminars, no unambiguous definition of the term is available. The purpose of this thesis is to clarify what team spirit means to individuals within companies and team sports.   Method: The thesis has been carried out using studies of available literature, which has been compiled into a conceivable model of what team spirit may imply. From this model a poll has been made, and handed out to individuals within companies as well as team sports. After having compiled the 37 replies, correlating answers has been sought after within each group of respondents.   Result &amp; Conclusions: The result shows us that there are varying opinions of what team spirit is, and generally accepted definitions of closely related ideas like cohesion and group development has to the respondents not been able to form a satisfying description of what team spirit means. Team spirit is therefore a concept being defined by each individual for themselves. Combined with peoples desire for team spirit, this constitutes an opportunity to use the term as a linguistic strategy in order to reach own goals.   Suggestions for future research: Future research should in order to discern any connections between individuals’ opinions of team spirit, and their environment, consist of qualitative interviews. An increased field of research might comprise the questions how team spirit is achieved, what effects it has, and how a leader influences it.   Contribution of the thesis: The thesis points out that team spirit is a concept not easily defined, which also can be used in several different ways. Anyone working with the making of team spirit, or discussing team spirit, draws benefit of shaping their own conscious perspective of the concept.

Trots att laganda används som säljargument för kurser, böcker och föreläsningar finns ingen entydig definition på termen. Studiens syfte är att söka klargöra vad laganda innebär för olika individer inom företag och lagidrott.   Metod: Studien har utförts genom att befintlig litteratur studerats och sammanställts till en möjlig modell över vad laganda kan innebära. Utifrån den utgångsfiguren har en enkät formats och delats ut till individer inom såväl företag som lagidrott. Efter att ha sammanställt de 37 enkätsvar som inkommit har studien sökt finna korrelerande svar inom respondentgrupperna.   Resultat &amp; slutsats: Resultatet visar att det råder mycket skiftande meningar om vad laganda är, och vedertagna definitioner av närliggande begrepp som exempelvis sammanhållning och grupputveckling har inte för respondenterna kunnat sägas bilda en tillfredsställande beskrivning av laganda. Laganda är således en term som varje individ definierar för sig själv. I kombination till människors begär efter laganda utgör detta en möjlighet att utnyttja begreppet laganda som språkstrategi för att nå egna syften.   Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Fortsatt forskning bör för att kunna urskilja samband mellan individers uppfattning om laganda och deras miljö utgöras av kvalitativa intervjuer. Ett utökat forskningsområde kan utgöras av frågeställningarna hur laganda åstadkoms, vilka effekter den har samt ledares påverkan av laganda.   Uppsatsens bidrag: Uppsatsen pekar på att laganda är ett svårdefinierat begrepp som kan användas på olika sätt. Alla som arbetar med att skapa laganda eller diskuterar laganda har nytta av att för sig själv skapa ett medvetet perspektiv på begreppet. Härvid utgör uppsatsen ett användbart bidrag.
