Para a realização desta pesquisa utilizamos uma enquête operária, entrevistas, observações diretas e pesquisa documental. A pesquisa demonstrou que a nova geração operária em questão surge em um contexto de mudança no padrão de acumulação do capital, que engendra transformações importantes na organização da produção de mercadorias. Manifesta-se mais uma vez, a velha tendência do processo de produção capitalista quando, diante das contradições sistêmicas que impedem a manutenção da taxa de lucro, os agentes da burguesia elaboram novas maneiras de elevação da produtividade do trabalho vivo, potencializando um nível mais elevado de exploração da mais-valia. O surgimento de novos segmentos operários é resultado desse processo e indica a expressão local de uma nova fase do capitalismo na formação social brasileira. A mudança é acompanhada por outra tendência histórica no processo de produção capitalista, que é a expansão da sua teia, ocupando novas regiões. No Brasil, esta tendência pode ser ilustrada pela migração e de empresas industriais para áreas sem tradição fabril, como se observa no movimento de instalação de indústrias do Sul e Sudeste no Nordeste do País. / Abstract: The present work deals with the sprouting of a new laboring generation in Brazil contemporary and problematical its process of constitution in classroom relating determination and on-determination of the phenomenon. The new laboring generation in question appears in a context of change in the accumulation standard of the capital, that produces important transformations in the organization of the production of merchandises. Manifest one more time, the old trend of the process of capitalist production when, ahead of the systemic contradictions that hinder the maintenance of the profit tax, the agents of the bourgeoisie elaborate new ways of rise of the productivity it alive work, potencializando a level more raised of exploration of the more-value diligent it. Fruit of this process, the sprouting of new laboring segments, indicates the local expression of a new phase of the capitalism in the Brazilian social formation. The change is followed by another historical trend in the process of capitalist production, that is the expansion of its teia, having occupied new regions. In Brazil, this trend can be illustrated by the migration and of industrial companies for areas without tradition manufacter, as it observes in the movement of installation of industries of the South and north-eastern Southeast of the Country. For the accomplishment of this work we use one enquête laborer, direct interviews, comments and documentary research. / Doutorado / Doutor em Ciência Política

Situada na Região Serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, a cerca de 860 metros de altitude e a 65 quilômetros de distância da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis possuiu no século XX expressiva produção têxtil, sendo referência nacional naquele ramo de produção industrial. O mundo do trabalho concernente à vida proletária de Petrópolis é o foco de análise desta pesquisa. O tempo histórico aqui adotado vai do ano de 1872 – formação das primeiras companhias têxteis – até o ano de 1937 - momento em que as companhias estão em larga produção e as relações de trabalho são intensamente vividas no interior dos estabelecimentos produtivos e também no ambiente social. Adota-se assim o período de nascimento e crescimento das companhias têxteis. O primeiro objetivo desta dissertação é discorrer sobre as companhias têxteis e suas vivências produtivas tendo como pano de fundo os diferentes momentos políticos e econômicos que o Brasil viveu no tempo histórico em questão. O segundo objetivo é complementar ao primeiro; busca verificar a vida dos trabalhadores que atuavam nas companhias têxteis no que tange às suas movimentações políticas, suas estratégias e o cotidiano como operários mas também como agentes sociais que viviam para além dos muros das fábricas. Assim, considera-se este estudo uma proposta de leitura de um passado pouco estudado em Petrópolis; o passado industrial, que é tão negligenciado frente à predominância de um passado aristocrático que se busca reforçar naquela que foi, no passado, a cidade de veraneio do imperador Dom Pedro II. / The dissertation deals with the formation process of the industrial city of Petropolis. Located in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro state, about 860 meters altitude and 65 km away from the city of Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis possessed significant textile production in the twentieth century, being a reference in that branch of national industrial production. The world of work concerning the proletarian life of Petropolis is the focus of this research analysis. Historical time adopted here is from the year 1872 - formation of the first textile companies - by the year 1937 - a time when companies had large production and labor relations were highly experienced within the production plants and also in the social environment. We've been adopted so the period of birth and growth of the textile companies. The first objective of this paper is to discuss the textile companies and their experiences with productive backdrop of the different political and economic times that Brazil lived in historical time in question. The second goal is to complement the first, aiming to check the workers who worked in the textile companies in regard to their political movements, their strategies and daily life as workers but also as social agents who lived beyond the walls of the factories. Thus, this study considers a proposal for a reading of the past little studied in Petropolis, the industrial past that is so neglected front of dominance of an aristocratic past that seeks to reinforce in what was once the city's vacation emperor Dom Pedro II.

Este estudo discute a recente produção teórica sobre o mundo do trabalho contemporâneo e, em particular, o mundo do trabalho para trabalhadores de alta complexidade nascidos entre 1946 e 1964, tendo como referência a abordagem teórica proposta por André Gorz, que busca entendimento acerca do mundo do trabalho a partir das esferas de auto e heteroregulação do trabalho, em diálogo com outros teóricos do tema. Além disso, explora, por meio de técnicas de levantamento e análise de dados quantitativos, a interpretação desses trabalhadores sobre o mundo do trabalho contemporâneo e sua percepção acerca da cisão entre vida profissional e vida pessoal, de acordo com os aspectos realçados pelo referencial teórico abordado. A partir de um modelo de equações estruturais, este trabalho explora a hipótese de que há uma correlação entre a interpretação que o trabalhador em estudo faz das esferas do mundo do trabalho propostas por Gorz e destas com sua percepção sobre a cisão entre vida profissional e vida pessoal, retratando, desta forma, o sentido do trabalho para esse grupo de trabalhadores. / This work discusses to recent theoretical developments about the world of work and, in special, the world of work for high complexity workers born from 1946 to 1964, making reference to the theoretical approach proposal by André Gorz, that seeks understanding about the world of work from the spheres of auto and heteroregulation of work, in dialogue with others theoreticians of the subject. Beyond that, explores, by means of quantitative techniques, the interpretation that those workers expresses about the world of work and the perception about the split between professional life and personal life, according to the aspects highlighted by the theoretical yardstick approached. Using a structural equations modeling aproach, explores the hypothesis that there is correlation between the interpretation that the worker in study does of the spheres proposed by Gorz and of these with his perception about the split between professional life and personal life, portraying, in this way, the sense of the work for that group of workers.

Desde 1981, o Brasil vem desenvolvendo programas (ex: Programa Nacional de Incentivo ao Aleitamento Materno - PNIAM, Banco de Leite Humano - BLH, Carteiro Amigo, Iniciativa Hospital Amigo da Criança, etc.) e normas como a Norma Brasileira de Comercialização de Alimentos para Lactentes - NBCAL e a Licença Gestante, a fim de garantir estratégias para promoção, apoio e proteção ao aleitamento materno. O Sistema único de Saúde (SUS), por meio das Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF), tem um papel fundamental na promoção do aleitamento materno, por ser uma de suas prioridades de atuação, que é dar assistência às crianças menores de dois anos de vida e a gestantes. Esse estudo propôs-se a identificar o perfil dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) atuantes nas USF da cidade de Piracicaba-SP e verificar seus conhecimentos e práticas em relação ao aleitamento materno. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório de corte transversal, envolvendo todas as USF do município de Piracicaba-SP. Foi utilizado um questionário estruturado, com informações relativas ao perfil sociodemográfico e relativas à atuação dos ACS, por meio de 20 afirmativas relacionadas ao conhecimento e às práticas de promoção e manejo da amamentação. A amostra foi composta por 193 ACS, sendo que 47% tinham mais de 34 anos de idade e atuavam havia menos de três anos na USF do município. A maioria (98%) havia estudado mais do que oito anos, mas somente a metade (49%) relatou possuir treinamento específico em amamentação. E mesmo assim, 94% da amostra, orientavam as mães usuárias das USF sobre a manutenção do aleitamento materno de forma exclusiva até o 6º mês de vida da criança, discorrendo sobre a qualidade do leite, sobre a não necessidade de utilização da chupeta e da mamadeira e sobre o alívio de dor no caso de ingurgitamento mamário e à prevenção de mastite. A maioria dos ACS participantes deste estudo orientava gestantes e puérperas. Dos profissionais com treinamento, 67% tinham conhecimentos insatisfatórios sobre o manejo do aleitamento, embora apresentassem bastante envolvimento em ações de saúde que constituem oportunidades de promoção do aleitamento materno. Houve diferença significativa entre os grupos que receberam e não receberam treinamento em relação ao oferecimento da orientação à gestante e à puérpera, mostrando que há uma maior freqüência de oferecimento de orientação por ACS que recebem treinamento específico sobre lactação / Abstract: Breastfeeding is the single strategy to prevent child deaths, in addition to promoting physical, mental and emotional health of children and breastfeeding women. Since 1981, Brazil has been developing programs (eg the National Breastfeeding Incentive - PNIAM, Human Milk Bank - HMB Friendly Postman, Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, etc..) And standards such as the Brazilian Standard for Food Marketing for Infants - BNCIF and Pregnant License, to ensure strategies to promote, support and protect breastfeeding. The Unified Health System (SUS), through the Family Health Units (FHU) has a key role in the promotion of breastfeeding, to be one of its priorities for action, which is to care for children under two years Life and pregnant women. This study aimed to identify the profile of Community Health Agents (CHA) operating in the USF in Piracicaba-SP and verify their knowledge and practices in relation to breastfeeding. This is an exploratory cross-sectional, involving all USF from Piracicaba-SP. We used a structured questionnaire with information on the demographic profile and relative to the performance of the ACS through 20 statements related to knowledge and practice in the promotion and management of breastfeeding. The sample consisted of 193 ACS, of whom 47% were over 34 years old and had worked less than three years at USF. The majority (98%) had studied more than eight years, but only half (49%) reported having specific training in breastfeeding. And yet, 94% of the sample, oriented the mothers users of USF on the maintenance of breastfeeding exclusively until the 6th month of the child's life, discussing the quality of milk, about not needing the use of pacifiers and bottle and on the relief of pain in the case of breast engorgement and mastitis prevention. Most ACS study participants guided pregnant and postpartum women. Professionals with training, 67% had poor knowledge about the management of breastfeeding, although showing quite involvement in health activities that provide opportunities for the promotion of breastfeeding. There was significant difference between the groups receiving and not receiving training in relation to offering guidance to pregnant and postpartum women, showing that there is a higher frequency of offering guidance ACS who receive specific training on lactation / Mestrado / Odontologia em Saude Coletiva / Mestra em Odontologia em Saúde Coletiva

Para tanto, optamos por examinar dois interessantes processos que emergem em meados da década de 1990 na Argentina: a recuperação de empresas por seus trabalhadores e o surgimento de movimentos de trabalhadores desempregados (piqueteiros). Nosso estudo busca entender a formação da consciência de classe em conjunto com as tensões e contradições presentes na constituição da subjetividade, em diversas instâncias da vida desses trabalhadores, especialmente aquelas que constituem o cotidiano. As fontes primárias utilizadas para realizar essa pesquisa foram documentos escritos produzidos por ambos os tipos de movimentos de trabalhadores abordados nesta tese e, sobretudo, entrevistas de história de vida com seus integrantes. / The research that resulted in the actual thesis intends to be part of a studies that are dedicated to examine the reconfiguration of the relation between labor and capital in contemporary capitalism (post-1970), focusing in the class conscience issue. Therefore, we chose to analyze two interesting processes that emerges in the mid 1990’s in Argentina: the recovery factory movement and the unemployed workers movement. Our study seeks to understand the formation of class consciousness within the frame of tensions and contradictions in the constitution of subjectivity, in several workers’ life instances, specially those that constitute the everyday. The primary sources used in this research were written documents produced by both types of workers movements discussed in this thesis and, above all, life history interviews with its members.

M. Tech. / The objectives of the study were: • To measure the extent to which clients understand their role in health and safety on site and accept it as their responsibility from the inception phase through to the maintenance phase; • To establish to what extent clients actively influence construction health and safety performance on their project; • To determine whether clients address health and safety in all phases of their construction projects; • To establish whether clients pre-qualify their appointed contractors on the basis of construction health and safety performance; and • To evaluate whether there is a correlation between client involvement in health and safety and actual health and safety performance. The literature is largely silent on client influence on health and safety during the later phases of a project. Very little has been written about client influence on health and safety and this is further enforced in clients delegating health and safety responsibilities to the consultants and contractor and regarding this as completion of their duties. Further, client should have major influence on the initial phases of construction rather than the later stages as the literature has shown decreased influence on health and safety with project evolvement. Clients regard themselves as most influential in the later phases of a project. The literature found that 63% of fatalities were traceable to pre-construction activities. The reason for poor health and safety is that clients see themselves as being responsible for and addressing health and safety in the later phases of a project.

M.A. / The role of volunteerism in South Africa and more particularly in the welfare system tends to be underestimated. Possible reasons are that the value of volunteers is lost due to bad management and utilisation, as well as misconceptions of what “volunteerism” is and who the “volunteer” is. Another reason is that the relationship between social workers and volunteers is based on preconceived ideas and distrust. Greater awareness and broadening of the concepts “volunteerism” and “volunteer” are needed to describe the nature of volunteerism. Welfare organisations are also forced by cutbacks in state subsidies as well as having a broader client system (communities) to find more creative ways to deal with these challenges. The transformation process regarding social work that came into being in 1994 led to the implementation of a national welfare policy in 1997. This shifted the focus to social development. On ground level the focus shifted to an integrated community development approach and intervention strategies that focus on prevention, empowerment and development to a level of self-help. The aim of this study is to explore the nature of volunteerism within the context of the new dispensation, since 1994 and develop guidelines for the establishment of a formal volunteer programme. A qualitative approach, using an inductive strategy, was followed to achieve the aim of the study. Since 1994 the scope of literature regarding the nature of volunteer work within the context of the new dispensation in South Africa, as well as the development of a national volunteer policy and a formal volunteer programme for the welfare system seems to be non-existing. The study focuses on the social work practice as departure point in exploring the research theme. A focus group discussion, in-depth interviews and semi-structured interviews were conducted with social workers and management of welfare organisations on the West Rand and in Pretoria and also with two experts in the field of volunteerism, from Cape Town and Nelspruit. Results focused on the nature of volunteer work as part of the welfare organisations’ community development programmes and projects. Through the interviews and the focus group discussion, intensive explorations of the respondent’s own reality regarding the subject in the social work practice was possible. The data was gathered by means of transcribed audiotapes. The researcher and a co-coder both did colour coding and through the use of a schedule, categories were created. Patterns appeared from which central themes were extracted as the result of the study. The results were compared to a relevant literature control. Connections were made between the results and the literature control by means of direct quotations of the responses in the transcripts. / Prof. J.B.S. Nel

Oil is one of the most valuable resources. For a country like Uganda, which is one of the least developed countries in the world with more than one third of the population still living below the poverty line; the discovery of this valuable resource has the capacity to radically alter the economy of the country. But on the other hand, oil exploration, mining and refining are complex, costly, long duration projects with many challenges that require sophisticated financial management, planning, scheduling and cost control. The project management profession is charged as a single point of responsibility for initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling projects in order to meet stakeholder’s needs and expectations. The research objectives were: 1. To identify and examine the challenges and risks associated with the oil industry in Uganda. 2. To investigate the effectiveness of project management practices in the Ugandan oil industry in terms 1 above. 3. Identify how project success can be measured in the Ugandan oil industry. A case study was the research technique adopted and interviews were conducted with the major stakeholders in the Ugandan oil industry. The research findings reveal the challenges and risks that continue to plague the Ugandan oil industry and the role of project management in the exploration phase of the project. The research findings were used to evaluate the role, responsibility and service that project management professionals are expected to render and the actual role, responsibility and service that the professionals have been rendering to the stakeholders in the Ugandan oil industry. The research then concludes by proposing ways of improving the chances of project success in the Ugandan oil industry.

Webbapplikationer blir allt mer lika desktopapplikationer vilket innebär att högre prestandakrav ställs på dessa. Ett sätt att möta dessa krav är att bättre utnyttja tillgänglig hårdvara med hjälp av parallellisering. Många webbapplikationer är implementerade i JavaScript. Ett nytt API kallat Web workers möjliggör parallellisering av JavaScript. Web workers har dock vissa begränsningar. Denna studie fokuserar på Web workers applicerat på webbapplikationer med partikelsystem. Partikelsystem har många olika användnings-områden vilket gör att dessa kan användas för många olika typer av tillämpningar. En tillämpning är fysiksimulering i applikationer med realtidsgrafik. Studien undersöker vilka prestandaeffekter tre olika parallelliseringsstrategier implementerade med Web workers ger för fysiksimulering med hjälp av partikelsystem i en webbapplikation. För ändamålet har en enkel applikation utvecklats vilken prestandamätningar utförts med. Resultatet visar att valet av parallelliseringsstrategi begränsas av kommunikationshastigheten till och från Web workers. Ett samband mellan prestanda och antal skickade meddelanden kan påvisas men behöver undersökas närmare.

This is a study into the impact of precarious work, defined as low-skill and low-pay jobs, on workers in the South West of Britain. In it, I investigate the experiences of three broad groups of precarious workers: migrants, care assistants (adult and nursery) and employees working for ‘Cleanwell’, an international provider of cleaning and catering services. My approach identifies and occupies the central ground between two opposing perspectives. Along with Guy Standing (2014; 2011), I acknowledge the existence of employment structures which can be objectively described as lacking the security of meaningful pay, tenure, access to training and progression. However, I reject the reductive structural determinism, from structures of work towards working experiences, which he implies. With Kevin Doogan (2015; 2013), I recognise the opposing, ‘rising security’ argument which cautions against homogenous classifications of precarious workers. Nevertheless, I view it as incomplete, challenging only the extent of precarity conditions but not the inherently negative experiences associated with them. In my investigation, I distinguish between ‘precarity’, as the terms and conditions of low-pay and low-skill work and ‘precariousness’, conceptualised as the corresponding worker experiences. Grounding my study in a phenomenological paradigm of enquiry and adopting a ‘meaning condensation’ method of analysis (Kvale, 1996), I seek to understand whether workers can re-construct the negative impact of precarious contexts. As a result, I present precariousness as essentially relational and not absolute. Furthermore, the re-construction of the precarious experience draws on the support of social groups and can lead to fulfilling professional identities. Lastly, precariousness can be a pedagogic experience, both positive and developmental, through which workers can follow the example set by parents and grandparents, as well as serving as role-models themselves. In the study, I challenge assumptions that precarious work has a predominantly negative impact on workers, yet caution against arguments for worker collectivisation and resistance. I argue that precariousness is a phenomenon neither fully determined by low-skill, low-pay contexts, nor simply a psychological state manifested in isolation from precarious work. Rather, it is the phenomenological ‘intending’ (Sokolowski, 2000) of precarious structures, that is, the conscious engagement of precarious workers with low-pay and low-skill work through a range of attitudes, beliefs, views and opinions. Defining it in such a way is a departure from conventional approaches and through it, I show that precariousness offers a wider range of, both positive and negative experiences. It is a means through which even the employment context of precarious work can be re-constructed by individual workers who do not have allegiance to a precariat class, whether actual, or ‘in-the-making’ (Standing, 2011).
