Resumo: A presente pesquisa centrou-se na busca dos motivos que levam os idosos da cidade de Presidente Prudente - SP (especificamente os bailes do Clube da Terceira Idade Dona Dalila), a terem a dança de salão como atividade de lazer preferida. A relevância deste estudo ressalta à medida que, com profundidade, tópicos importantes para a sociedade, através dos programas de lazer para a terceira idade, evidenciam a preocupação com a qualidade de vida e bem estar do idoso; chama a atenção para a necessidade de informações à respeito do processo de envelhecimento e de lazer do idoso para a sociedade. Percebeu-se, pelo depoimento de 100 idosos, freqüentadores e organizadores dos bailes, que a preferência pela dança se dá, simplesmente, pela emoção do contato físico e social que ela proporciona, pois se sabe que a dança permite a integração, a encenação da fantasia e a manifestação do desejo de liberdade, reconhecida pelo senso comum sob a denominação de desejo de prazer. Socialmente, a prática da dança de salão (bailes), nestes programas de lazer do idoso, reincide-o à sociedade. Ele integra-se a outras pessoas, une-se em associações e grupos de convivência. Possibilita a discussão de seus problemas em conjunto, a organizarem-se para lutar por seus direitos e por melhores condições de vida. Além do que, quando participam dos bailes estão sempre em grupos, o que os motiva a continuarem ativos. As características do processo de envelhecimento, os esteriótipos sociais, a construção contínua da identidade, a necessidade de motivação para uma auto-imagem positiva, a importância dos programas de lazer, e, principalmente, a dança de salão, são pontos abordados na revisão da literatura e presentes nos resultados dos depoimentos dos sujeitos. Cada um destes aspectos integra o indivíduo, caracterizando e refletindo no seu movimento (a dança), e na sua conseqüente percepção de movimento e de vida. / Abstract: The present research was centered in the search reasons that take the seniors of the city of Presidente Prudente - SP (specifically the dances of the Third Age Club Dona Dalila), to have the saloon dance as their favorite leisure activity. The relevance of this study stands out as, in depth, important topics for the society, through the leisure programs for the third age, make evident the concern with the life quality and welfare of the senior; it calls attention for the need of information the regarding the aging process and of the senior's leisure for the society. It was noticed, through interviewing one hundred seniors, visitors and organizers of the dances, that the preference for the dance feels, simply, for the emotion of the physical and social contact that it provides, for it is known that the dance allows the integration, the staging of the fantasy and the manifestation of the desire of freedom, recognized by the common sense under the denomination of pleasure desire. Socially, the practice of the saloon dance (dances), in these programs of the senior's leisure, relapses him or her to the society. They integrate to other people, join in associations and coexistence groups. It makes possible the discussion of their problems together, to organize and to struggle for their rights and better life conditions. In addition, when they participate in the dances, they are always in groups, which motivates them continue their assets. The characteristics of the aging process, the social stereotypes, the continuous construction of the identity, the motivation needed for a positive self-image, the importance of the leisure program, and, mainly, the saloon dance, are topics approached in the revision of the literature and presented in the results of the interviews of the subjects. Each one of these aspects integrate the individual, characterizing and contemplating in their movement (the dance), and in their consequent movement perception. / Orientador: José Sterza Justo / Coorientador: Helena Faria de Barros / Banca: Edna Julia Scombatti Martins / Banca: Sônia Aparecida Moreira França / Mestre

Among the key issues that arise in research of cooperatives are their supposedly hybrid nature and how they are able to balance both social and economic goals. I contend that the concept of 'needs' has become an important differentiating factor for the cooperatives I studied in Emilia Romagna. Placing this concept centrally in an analysis of cooperative practice helps to reveal the interplay between various value systems, reaching beyond arguments of the degeneration of cooperatives or the reproduction of dominant models, which both assume a one-way flow of influence. The recent history of the cooperative movement in Italy shows that these institutions have developed along with changing conceptions of need, supported by broader social movements and value systems. The cooperative network is today of central importance, and seen as an egalitarian means to share ideals and drive local innovation. However, my research shows that the instrumentalisation of the concept of 'need' also naturalises certain aspects of capitalist practice and has consequences for the enactment of other values within the cooperative. For example, in one cooperative I examined, the focus on meeting the members' needs for work was important in justifying a decision to merge with another cooperative despite a decision-making process that was seen as less than entirely democratic. This orientation also justified the use of precarious labour, and the need to protect members' livelihoods helped to justify low pay for internships and municipal job placements, as opposed to furthering the cooperative values of equity and equality. While the cooperative workers desired an element of personal relations, this was sometimes seen to be at odds with the focus on production and the maintenance of jobs. The marketing of more ethical products with reference to their social added value highlighted the central role of individual consumer citizens in bringing about change, which also reinforced divisions within the cooperatives based on who was more or less able to make these choices. In conclusion, I argue that while 'needs', like 'added value', can unite social and economic concepts of value, this also naturalises certain aspects of capitalist practice, particularly in this case where employment emerges as the primary need to be met. This leads me to suggest that the focus on meeting needs, as opposed to focusing on achieving specific ideals such as democracy and equality, may not be as effective to create alternative practice.

The treatment of impacted third molars that have neither symptoms nor disease is controversial. One school of thought is that these teeth should be extracted before they do become symptomatic and/or diseased. A second school of thought advocates retaining these teeth until such time when they show evidence of developing symptoms or disease. The purpose of this review is to present the reasoning behind the two opposing schools of thought. Studies involving both the risks and the benefits of extracting and retaining asymptomatic, disease-free third molars were examined. There are studies to support the proponents of each school of thought. Proponents of removal are of the belief that many asymptomatic and disease-free impacted third molars eventually do become symptomatic and/or diseased, and do so when the patient is older. The morbidity and incidence of complications common to the procedure increase with age, and therefore proponents of removal prefer that surgery be performed at a younger age when the complications are less likely to be as severe or permanent. Those in support of retaining and monitoring these teeth are of the opinion that the status of these asymptomatic and disease-free impacted third molars may never change and therefore never require surgical intervention. They believe the increased complication rate and morbidity experience by some of the older surgical patients do not justify the routine removal of all asymptomatic, disease-free impacted third molars at an early age. Both groups recognize that when surgical intervention is employed, complications such as pain, swelling, alveolar osteitis, periodontal problems, temporomandibular joint disorders, nerve involvement, sinus communication, and financial stress are not uncommon. Ultimately, the clinician must consider the information presented in this review, and combine it with his/her academic knowledge and personal clinical experience to inform the patient of the risks and benefits of both treatment options. That way, the clinician and the patient together can decide the strategy for management of an asymptomatic, disease-free third molar.

Social science research on third sector organisations in the last two decades has emphasised their growing presence and importance in healthcare. This has occurred alongside significant reorganisation of health systems in the UK, including a continued policy emphasis on partnership-working between the public sector and the third sector. However, unanswered questions in the literature remain with regard to the specific roles that these organisations fulfil within partnership arrangements. This thesis examines the role of third sector organisations within Scottish services for the chronic, neurodegenerative condition Huntington’s disease (HD). The closely connected nature of Scottish healthcare and the multitude of professionals involved in HD mean these services are an important, but currently understudied, example of professional interaction around complexity. A multi-methods qualitative research framework was used to gather perspectives of key individuals working in the Scottish HD and wider health scene. Making use of the key concepts of expertise and boundary work, this thesis argues that third sector organisations have an extensive shaping role in 1) the positioning of healthcare organisations, 2) the identities of healthcare professionals, and 3) the meanings around illness and the remit of support. The research findings revealed that organisations and professionals in HD partnership arrangements engaged in processes of boundary work in the negotiation of the roles of themselves and others. Third sector professionals occupied many positions within services, as both experts and supporters of patients. In the process they and other professionals often took on identities as ‘key, committed professionals’. Understanding around HD was also shaped by these professionals as the wider aspects of illness and its support were brought into focus. Building on these findings, it is argued that third sector professionals in coordination roles are well placed to develop a type of expertise that I term ‘aggregate know-how’ (Pols 2014), based around both their professional skills and their extensive contact with patient experiential knowledge. The research builds on and extends influential previous models of third sector ‘partnership’ in healthcare (Rabeharisoa 2003), emphasising the key role of third sector organisations in knowledge production. It also offers insights of both theoretical and practical use with regard to service delivery in healthcare, showing the potential for genuine third sector/public sector partnership around expertise when there is adequate cultural support and resources.

This thesis examines the intellectual context of the first international congress of comparative law held in Paris, at the occasion of the 1900 World Fair. In particular, it articulates some of the unstated assumptions that made it possible for the conversation of this congress to unfold as it did. Using methods of conceptual history and discursive analysis, the author shows how this constitutive conversation for the discipline of comparative law drew from many discourses including conversations about the prestige of French legal science, claims to disciplinarity and the corresponding search for a scientific method, the desire to master the processes of legal unification arising from international trade, a concern with ensuring the place of France in the hierarchy of nations in a period of national malaise, and a mission befalling France to civilize the rest of the world. In showing how these different conversations shaped the discourse of the first congress of comparative law, the thesis outlines the ways in which they also participated in (re)shaping deeply entrenched conceptions of legal knowledge and legal scholarship. / Graduate

Thus, a randomized, controlled, triple-blind, split-mouth clinical trial was performed Sixteen patients with a mean age of 22.5 (?3,45) underwent removal of the two lower third molars at different times and received four acupuncture sessions, one prior to surgery and others at moments 24, 48 and 72 hours after. Edema evaluations were made through the measurements of the face and trismus by maximum buccal opening at the baseline and 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after surgery. The pain was evaluated by the visual analogue scale at moments 24, 48 and 72 hours and the anxiety was evaluated by the STAI questionnaire and the visual analogue scale at baseline and before and after acupuncture on the day of surgery. Statistical analysis was performed using the paired T test and Wilcoxon. Acupuncture showed better performance in the control of edema at 48 hours (p=0.026), 72 hours (p=0.046) and 7 days (p=0.040) when compared to placebo. There was no statistical difference in the control of pain, trismus and anxiety between the groups. In conclusion, the use of acupuncture showed better results on edema control after third molar extraction when compared to pacebo.
