It provides a historical discussion of Brazilian professional education, of the pertinent legislation in this type of teaching, and the repercussions related to the institutionalization of the Educational Directives Law. It interprets the discourse of the graduates of the complementary course of nursing auxiliary to nursing technician, for the year 2002, using the collective subject analysis and individual interviews. These revealed changes in the areas of knowledge-learning, knowledge-doing, knowledge-being, and an awakening to other changes besides the challenges being confronted. In this sense, nursing as a participant in a society that is effervescent with process changes, interacts socially, politically and professionally in this context, able to experience advances and retrogrades, depending on its political competency / Analisa as mudan?as ocorridas no processo de qualifica??o profissional do T?cnico em Enfermagem da Escola de Enfermagem de Natal.

This thesis deals with the proposal of competence change of dental technicians in the form of foreign model of denturist/clinical dental technician profession. The thesis includes draft of change management process of competences for non-medical medical staff in the Czech dentistry. The thesis also examines the opinions and attitudes of dental technicians towards given design of competencies and includes analysis and mapping of interest groups. In the theoretical part, terminology and legislation of the current model of dentistry in the Czech Republic is described. An issue of removable replacements as one of the areas of performance of dentists are defined in depth. It also defines the subject of removable replacements in statistical, demographic and economic contexts. Moreover, it describes models of multidisciplinary teams used in the Czech Republic and abroad. Lastly, the theory needed for change management is described and also includes hypothetical proposal of change of competencies of dental technicians, which among other things characterises used models for change implementation. The empirical part comprises of the process of competence change in dental technicians, analysis of interest groups and mapping of attitudes of interest groups. Also, it analyses the results of survey which...

Anesthesia support personnel (ASP) provide direct support to health care providers administering anesthesia (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists [CRNAs] and anesthesiologists). Because these anesthesia providers are caring for a patient whom they cannot legally or ethically leave unattended, ASP are employed to bring them extra supplies or equipment, prepare equipment for the case, maintain and clean equipment, and generally function as directed by the anesthesia provider. Given the limited literature and importance of ASP in maintaining equipment essential to safe practice, it is necessary to describe the population to understand who is functioning in this role to insure that these individuals are trained and capable of complying with safety standards. There are two studies in the literature describing this population. The first study presents a descriptive survey of ASP utilization in anesthesiology residency training programs revealing varied utilization and qualifications of ASP (McMahon & Thompson, 1987). The second study is a survey of a convenience sample of the membership of the professional organization of ASP, which offers voluntary certification (American Society of Anesthesiology Technologists and Technicians). This survey reveals variation in utilization and qualification of ASP as well. The present prospective descriptive survey of CRNAs working with ASP was conducted to describe this population in terms of their educational characteristics and training, specific job functions, and work environment. It further evaluated perceptions of practicing CRNAs regarding the utilization of ASP. The results of this study were consistent with that of previous work and indicated that ASP utilization varies by hospital but has a propensity for greater utilization at larger medical centers that have a level I or II trauma designation. Formal ASP supervision is limited, which restricted the results to CRNA reports of tasks ASP performed and perceptions of CRNAs regarding ASP. ASP tasks tended to be limited to more equipment cleaning and maintenance type tasks with a smaller portion of ASP performing tasks related to direct patient care. Overall, the description of ASP in the literature remains variable and further research is needed to adequately describe this population and begin to develop a common language to understand this practice group.

In terms of theoretical-methodological tools, I recurred to the historical-dialectical materialism, which demands a range of approaching strategies related to the study object by means of a preliminary exploratory research, as well as an empirical investigation of the school teachers, egressed students and school managers. Considering the qualitative and quantitative analysis, we adopted a content analysis. After data tabulation, the use of this technique allowed to deepen the level of perception regarding the research purposes throw the interpretation and analysis of education as a State policy making tool in the school s geographical region, where a historical professional educational process and an incorporation and expulsion movements of the agricultural worker in the areas of arable lands always were present. As a consequence of this thesis theoreticalmethodological characteristics the historical-dialectical materialism - a dialogue with the academic-scientific literature on the theme was established in which it was possible to evidence the paths and non-paths of this mode of professional education in Brazil and the impacts of its discontinuity. Despite of the analyzed technician educational process has been historically faced malfunctions as a result of diverse moments in which its general guidelines were altered, what can be observed is that along such transformation the educational institution, that is the research locus, offered a qualitative professional formation to those students, an outcome of a conscious intervention by which the teacher role may change the traditional dichotomy and neutralize the discriminating power of the minority elite. Such conclusion was countersigned by annotation analysis about the egressed students, which indicated that regardless the phase the levels of influence of the educational background received and the market place demands are compatible and, emphatically, they attributed to a comprehensive education the responsibility by their maturation, as well as personal and professional growth, that enable them to make technical adequate decisions in every field situation whether it is in the agribusiness, familiar agriculture or in any other areas of professional activity. Particularizing here the campus Ceres trajectory and its strategies, conscious or not, the institutional culture spoke louder and resisted to immediate vulgates, saved the professional profiles graduated by it, and provided the institution own survival, educating a world citizen who goes beyond the intended enhanced farm-hand but even the professional profile of this agriculture technician fits as much to the Brazilian agro exporter capital interests, the familiar agricultural ends, as many other professional fields where such egressed students are inserted. Under a perspective of the rescue of the professional education, the conscious intervention of each institution in this education modality, considering the current legislation that commend an omnilateral formation, in my view, are relevant and inclusive as political practice aimed to the interest of most of the Brazilians, the class of those who live from the work. / Com o propósito de conhecer os perfis dos técnicos agrícolas egressos do Instituto Federal Goiano campus Ceres em três fases distintas e sua inserção no mundo do trabalho, período Escola-Fazenda, Decreto 2.208/97 e Decreto 5.154/04, a questão central que norteia o presente trabalho foi saber a quem essa formação tem atendido. Como instrumental teórico-metodológico, recorri ao materialismo históricodialético, o que demanda uma gama de estratégias de aproximação em relação ao referido objeto, a partir de pesquisa exploratória preliminar, além de investigação empírica junto aos docentes, egressos e gestores do instituto. Considerando a análise quali-quantitativa, trabalhamos com análise de conteúdo. Após tabulação das informações, o uso da técnica mencionada permitiu aprofundar o nível de percepção em relação aos propósitos da pesquisa, buscando interpretar e analisar a educação enquanto instrumento de política pública de Estado na região, onde o processo histórico de educação profissional e o movimento de incorporação e expulsão do trabalhador rural das áreas de terra agricultáveis sempre estiveram presentes. Em decorrência das características teórico-metodológicas da opção do presente trabalho o materialismo histórico-dialético ,foi estabelecido diálogo com a produção acadêmico-científica sobre o tema, na qual foi possível evidenciar os caminhos e descaminhos dessa modalidade de ensino profissional no Brasil e os impactos dessa descontinuidade. Apesar de, historicamente, o processo de formação do técnico analisado ter enfrentado disfunções em decorrência dos diversos momentos em que suas diretrizes gerais foram alteradas, o que se tem observado é que, ao longo de tais transformações, a instituição, locus da pesquisa, foi oferecendo uma formação qualitativa àqueles profissionais, fruto de uma intervenção consciente , na qual o papel do professor pode alterar a tradicional dicotomia e neutralizar o poder discriminador dos interesses da elite minoritária. Tal conclusão foi referendada a partir da análise dos apontamentos sobre os egressos, que indicam que, independente da fase, o grau de influência da formação recebida e as exigências do mundo do trabalho são compatíveis e, de forma enfática, atribuíram à formação integral a responsabilidade pelo seu amadurecimento e crescimento pessoal e profissional, o que lhes permite tomar a decisão técnica adequada a cada situação de campo, seja ela no agronegócio, seja na agricultura familiar, seja em quaisquer outros ramos de atividade profissional. Particularizando aqui a trajetória percorrida pelo Campus Ceres e suas estratégias, conscientes ou não, a cultura institucional falou mais forte e resistiu às vulgatas imediatistas, salvou o perfil dos profissionais por ele formados, assim como facultou com que a própria Instituição sobrevivesse, formando um cidadão do mundo, que vai muito além do pretendido peão melhorado , mas inclusive, o perfil desse técnico agrícola, atende aos interesses do capital agroexportador brasileiro, mas também da agricultura familiar, dentre outros ramos do campo profissional em que tais egressos estão inseridos. Em uma perspectiva de resgate da educação profissional, a intervenção consciente de cada instituição dessa modalidade de ensino, considerando a legislação atual, que preconiza da formação omnilateral, a meu ver, são pertinentes e inclusivas como uma prática política voltada aos interesses da maioria dos brasileiros, a classe dos que vivem do trabalho.

A enfermagem brasileira em sua ampla dimensão teórico-prática tem procurado discutir as questões do contexto sócio-político que interferem nos setores da saúde e educação, tanto no nível superior como no nível técnico. Um dos desafios impostos pela atualidade é o envelhecimento populacional, que ocorre de forma acelerada e exige redefinições de papéis e ações para atender a população idosa. O presente estudo, teve como objetivo analisar a formação gerontológica do Técnico em Enfermagem. A escolha da abordagem metodológica deste estudo foi feita pela metodologia qualitativa, fundamentada nos pressupostos teóricos do construtivismo, geriatria e gerontologia e interpretação cultural. Dentre os vários caminhos para apreensão do objeto de estudo optou-se pelo Estudo de Caso, tendo como cenário um curso técnico em enfermagem de uma instituição de educação profissional. Os resultados obtidos permitem verificar que existe deficiência na formação de profissionais técnicos em enfermagem competentes e habilitados ao cuidado da população idosa. Também, ressalta-se que o próprio ser humano deve compreender a utilização de símbolos e significados das experiências vividas como um marco referencial para a promoção de iniciativas transformadoras condizentes com a realidade social. / The brazilian nursing, in its large theorical-practical dimension, has been trying to dicuss the social-political context questions, which interfere in the health and education sectors, both the superior and thecnical levels. One of the challenges enforced nowadays in the demogrphic aging, which occur quickly and demand redefinitions of roles and actions to attend of to the ederly population. The study had as objective to understand the geronthologic formation of the nursing technician. The methodologic broaching choice for this study was made by qualitative methodology, based on theoretical pressuposing of construtivism, geriatrics, geronthology and cultural interpretation. Among various ways for apprehension of the study object, this chose the study of case, having as scenary a nursing thecnical course of an institution of professional education. The gained results allow to verify the deficiency of formation of nursing technician professionals with competence and able in the care of elderly population. This also emphasize that the human creature must understand the using symbols and meanings of lived experiences as a referencial mark to the promotion of transforming initiatives which correspond to the social reality.

The Institute is located in the region of the General Mountain range of the Bahia, composed by twenty and nine cities, encloses an area of 32.354, 6 km ² - 5.7% of the bahian territory, is a region that lacks of investment in some areas, however science and the technology can offer subsidies to the small and mediuns farming to cultivate the ground and to survive to the impositions of the capitalism that comes expanding in a fast form in the interior of the cities. It had as main objective, to understand the occured contradictions between education Professionalizing Technique/, work and capitalism and its metamorphoses in the last decade. It was intended, also with this work, to investigate the contributions, the socioeconomics impacts of the course farming technician given in the IFBaiano ⁄ Guanambi Campus for the development of the General Mountain range. The reseachers ideas of the researchers Marx and Engels (2004) Kuenzer (2005), Carneiro (1998), Frigotto (1999), Catani (2007), Martins (2008) and others reseachers, bring them up to unveiling the contradictions of this field of the knowledge. One of them about a quantiqualitative research of matrix having the dialectic method for reference and using as procedures document questionnaire, interview and analysis. The capitalist system develops a model of social relation that hides the truths and alienates the people in around to its desires. Sees very little the way to be covered and the potential to be explored in each region. When perceiving the potentialities of the General Mountain range, of the Productive Hinterland in all the dimensions is possible to affirm that still it has very to make. The actions developed for the institute, in particular in the Farming course Technician, are valuable and enriching, but still shy considering the vast field of performance. It s necessary makes the strengthening of the social movements, of the unions, advice who are formed in the state spheres in order to fortify the public sphere by means of an action strategically politics so that the actions developed for the institute penetrate in the agricultural communities modifying the effective reality. Thus, we wait that the result of this inquiry contributes so that the actions developed in the related institute and, in particular in the farming course technician in either a motivator element of strengthening of agricultural producing average the small families of the e, and that politician cooperates to the development, social, cultural, ambient and economic of the region. / Considerando que há uma relação entre educação e trabalho, nesta investigação realizada no período de 2009 a 2010 buscou-se compreender a interface entre o ensino técnico agropecuário e o desenvolvimento sócio político na região da Serra Geral da Bahia, identificando as contribuições teórico-práticas do curso técnico em agropecuária oferecido pelo IFBaiano⁄Campus Guanambi na melhoria do sistema produtivo da região. O Instituto está localizado na região da Serra Geral da Bahia, composta por vinte e nove municípios, abrange uma área de 32.354,6 km² - 5,7% do território baiano. É uma região que carece de investimento em várias áreas. Neste trabalho defende-se a ideia que a ciência e a tecnologia podem oferecer subsídios aos pequenos e médios agricultores para cultivar o solo e sobreviver às imposições do capitalismo que vem se expandindo de forma rápida no interior dos municípios. Assumiu-se como objetivo principal, compreender as contradições entre educação Técnica/Profissionalizante, trabalho e capitalismo e suas metamorfoses ocorridas na última década investigando as contribuições, os impactos socioeconômicos do curso técnico agropecuário ministrado no IFBaiano ⁄ Campus Guanambi para o desenvolvimento da Serra Geral. As ideias dos pesquisadores Marx e Engels (2004) Kuenzer (2005), Carneiro (1998), Frigotto (1999), Catani (2007), Martins (2008) dentre outros, proporcionaram o desvelamento das contradições desse campo do conhecimento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho quantiqualitativa com o método dialético por referência e, como procedimentos questionário, entrevista e análise de documentos. O sistema capitalista desenvolve um modelo de relação social que encobre as verdades e aliena as pessoas em torno dos seus desejos. Enxerga-se muito pouco o caminho a ser percorrido e o potencial a ser explorado em cada região. Ao perceber as potencialidades da Serra Geral, do Sertão Produtivo em todas as dimensões, é possível afirmar que ainda há muito para fazer. As ações desenvolvidas pelo Instituto, em particular no Curso Técnico Agropecuária, são valiosas e enriquecedoras, mas ainda tímidas, considerando o vasto campo de atuação. Necessário se faz o fortalecimento dos movimentos sociais, dos sindicatos, conselhos que são formados nas esferas estatais de modo a fortalecer o domínio público por meio de uma ação política estratégica para que as ações desenvolvidas pelo Instituto penetrem nas comunidades rurais alterando a realidade vigente. Assim, esperamos que o resultado desta investigação contribua para que as ações desenvolvidas no referido Instituto e, em particular no Curso Técnico em Agropecuária, sejam um elemento motivador de fortalecimento das famílias dos pequenos e médios produtores rurais, que cooperem para o desenvolvimento político, social, cultural, ambiental e econômico da região e para o debate teórico da temática educação profissional.

This dissertation explores workforce planning in manufacturing and healthcare systems. In manufacturing systems, the existing workforce planning models often lack fidelity with respect to the mechanism of learning. Learning refers to that employees’ productivity increases as they gain more experience. Workforce scheduling in the short term has a longer term impact on organizations’ capacity. The mathematical representations of learning are usually nonlinear. This nonlinearity complicates the planning models and provides opportunities to develop solution methodologies for realistically-sized instances. This research formulates the workforce planning problem as a mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) and overcomes the limitations of cur- rent solution methods. Specifically, this research develops a reformulation technique that converts the MINLP to a mixed integer linear program (MILP) and proposes several techniques to speed up the solution time of solving the MILP. In organizations that use group work, workers learn not only by individual learning but also from knowledge transferred from team members. Managers face the decision of how to pair or team workers such that organizations benefit from this transfer of learning. Using a mathematical representation that incorporates both in- dividual learning and knowledge transfer between workers, this research considers the problem of grouping workers to teams and assigning teams to sets of jobs based on workers’ learning and knowledge transfer characteristics. This study builds a Mixed- integer nonlinear programs (MINP) for parallel systems with the objective of maximizing the system throughput and propose exact and heuristic solution approaches for solving the MINLP. In healthcare systems, we focus on managing medical technicians in medical laboratories, in particular, the phlebotomists. Phlebotomists draw specimens from patients based on doctors’ orders, which arrive randomly in a day. According to the literature, optimizing scheduling and routing in hospital laboratories has not been regarded as a necessity for laboratory management. This study is motivated by a real case at University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics, where there is a team of phlebotomists that cannot fulfill doctors requests in the morning shift. The goal of this research is routing these phlebotomists to patient units such that as many orders as possible are fulfilled during the shift. The problem is a team orienteering problem with stochastic rewards and service times. This research develops an a priori approach which applies a variable neighborhood search heuristic algorithm that improves the daily performance compared to the hospital practice.
