Em 2011, a Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária inseriu como eixo estratégico de sua gestão o envolvimento com as macro políticas sociais brasileiras, especialmente as relacionadas ao desenvolvimento social, com foco na erradicação da extrema pobreza e no avanço da formalização das atividades econômicas relacionadas a produtos e serviços sujeitos à vigilância sanitária. Em 2013 a Agencia publicou uma regulação específica para o microempreendedor individual, para o empreendimento familiar rural e para o empreendimento econômico solidário (RDC n° 49) intitulada de \"Inclusão produtiva com segurança sanitária\". A construção da norma contou com a participação da sociedade, por meio da consulta pública n°37. Objetivos: Analisar criticamente a percepção e as expectativas dos atores sociais participantes da consulta sobre os impactos esperados acerca da RDC e discutir as possíveis convergências dessas expectativas com as ações propostas no I Plano Nacional de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (2012/2015). Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que utilizou os métodos de análise documental e análise de conteúdo temática para analisar os dados secundários da consulta pública °37. Resultados: A partir da descrição das categorias identificadas, os atores sociais foram divididos entre \"grupo a favor\" e \"grupo contrário\", explicitando o caráter antagônico das expectativas dos participantes acerca dos impactos da norma. Além disso, a analise mostrou que existem vários pontos de convergência entre os impactos esperados pelos participantes e as ações propostas no I Plano de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (2012-2015). Conclusão: O tema \"Inclusão produtiva com Segurança Sanitária\" provocou uma discussão rica e complexa mostrando que é necessário haver um equilíbrio para que as normas sanitárias sejam coerentes com as especificidades existentes na pequena produção, garantindo, contudo, a segurança sanitária dos alimentos. / In 2011, the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency inserted as a strategic axis of its management the involvement with macro social policies in Brazil, especially those related with social development, focusing on eradication of extreme poverty and on advancing formalization for economic activities related to products and services subject to health surveillance. In 2013 the Agency published a specific regulation for individual microentrepreneur, family farmer and solidarity economic enterprise (RDC n°49) entitled \"Productive Inclusion with Health Security\". The construction of the standard was attended by civil society, through the public consultation n° 37. Objectives: To critically analyze perception and expectations of social actors participants of the consultation on expected impacts of RDC and to discuss the possible convergences of these expectations with the actions proposed in the 1st National Plan for Food and Nutrition Security (2012/2015). Methodology: This is a qualitative study that used the methods of document analysis and the analysis of thematic content to analyze the secondary data of the public consultation n° 37. Results: From the description of categories identified, the social actors were divided between \"favor group\" and \"opposing group\", clarifying the antagonistic character of participants\' expectations about impacts of the norm. In addition, the analysis showed there are several points of convergence between the expected impacts of participants and actions proposed in the I Food and Nutrition Security Plan (2012-2015). Conclusion: The theme \"Productive Inclusion with Sanitary Safety\" has provoked a rich and complex discussion, showing that a balance needs to be struck in order to ensure that health standards are consistent with the specificities of small production, while guaranteeing food safety.

O desenho coletivo é utilizado como objeto mediador da intervenção institucional, de maneira semelhante ao squiggle game da consulta terapêutica, o desenho produzido pelo grupo facilita a comunicação entre os membros, promove associações livres verbais e gráficas, apresenta fantasmas, desejos e medos, comuns e compartilhados; informa sobre aspectos individuais e da instituição na associação discursiva e na produção pictográfica. A hipótese norteadora é que o desenho coletivo quando usado em um contexto de intervenção institucional, seja de diagnostico ou de tratamento, é um objeto mediador do diálogo no grupo. Devido ao acesso à representação e projeção de conteúdos inconscientes, o desenho manifesta conteúdos recalcados, aparentemente desconhecidos. Apresenta-se um histórico do desenho como linguagem nos primórdios da humanidade e a utilização e reflexão desde a medicina, pedagogia e psicologia. Valorizado para conhecer a alma infantil, posteriormente à psicanálise considera-o substituto da associação livre. Freud não aprofunda sobre o desenho como recurso terapêutico, mas mostra como usar o método psicanalítico na presença da imagem. De maneira semelhante ao sonho analisa o que se reitera, se condensa e desloca na imagem pictográfica. O primeiro desenho produzido no contexto vincular é descrito na Analise de uma fobia de uma criança de 5 anos, quando, da mesma maneira como Winnicott faz na brincadeira do squigglel game, Hans o pequeno paciente- introduz um traço para completar a idéia que deseja transmitir a respeito do tamanho do pênis da girafa. Na psicanálise de crianças, Winnicott e Dolto mostram caminhos para usar o desenho no processo terapêutico. Em contextos vinculares, poucos autores empregam o desenho no grupo como um recurso mediador do diálogo e do trabalho psicanalítico. Apresentam-se as contribuições teóricas para a psicanálise de grupo e instituição de autores como J. Bleger, E. Pichon Rivière, D. Anzieu e René Kaës. Identifica-se que no desenho é figurada a queixa, o inédito; detectam-se o aparecimento de traços, formas que enunciam e denunciam aspectos a serem destacados, trabalhados e elaborados pelo grupo no primeiro encontro. Um dos grupos apresentados era uma instituição que vivia várias queixas entre elas a equipe dividida, no encontro enquanto desenham surge uma ponte que une o que estava separado por um grande tronco: a equipe técnica da instituição de um lado e de outro o grupo de crianças e seus cuidadores. Outro caso descreve a intervenção da equipe de manutenção de uma empresa, que desenha um campo de futebol e no meio uma caveira, simbolizando o perigo de morte; o diálogo com os membros remete ao medo a serem demitidos. Os desenhos coletivos permitem que o psicólogo conduza e aborde, com facilidade, aspectos silenciados a partir de apontamentos de aspectos díspares, estranhos, repetitivos. / The collective drawing is used as the institutional interventions mediating object, in a similar way as the squiggle game of the therapeutic consultations; the drawing produced by the group facilitates communication among the members, improves free verbal and graphic associations, shows common and shared phantoms, desires and fears; informs about the individual and institutional aspects in the discourse association and in the pictographic production. The guiding hypothesis is that the collective drawing when used in a context of institutional intervention, whereas of diagnosis or treatment, it is a mediating object of the dialog in the group. Because of the access to the representation and projection of unconscious contents, the drawing expresses repressed contents, apparently unknown. We show a historical record of the drawing like the language in the beginnings of humanity, its used and thinking from Medicine, Pedagogy and Psychology. Initially Psychoanalysis valued it to know the childs psyche, after it considered a substitute of the free association. Freud doesnt deeper on the drawing as a therapeutic resource, but He shows how to use the psychoanalytic method with the image. As in a similar way like in a dream, Freud analyses what comes again, condenses and dislocates in the pictographic image. The first drawing produced in a bind context is describe in Analysis of a phobia of a child under 5 years, when, as in the same way like Winnicott does in the squiggle game, Hans the young patient- introduces a trace to complete the idea he wants to transmit in relation to the size of the giraffe\'s penis. In children psychoanalysis, Winnicott and Dolto show paths to use the drawing in the therapeutic process. In binding contexts, few authors utilize the drawing in the group like a mediating resource of the dialog and the psychoanalytic work. We show theoretical contributions for group and institutional psychoanalysis from authors like J. Bleger, E. Pichon Rivière, D. Anzieu and René Kaës. We identify that the complaint is figured in the drawing, the novel; we detect the emerging of traces, forms that enounce and denounce aspects to be underline, worked and elaborated by the group in the first encounter. One of the groups shown was an institution that experienced different complaints, among them the divided team, in the encounter while they draw it emerges a bridge that joins with a big trunk what was separated: the institutions technical team, by one side and a group of children and their care takers by the other. Another case describes an intervention in a companys maintenance team, that draws a football field with a skull in the middle of it, symbolizing the danger of death; the dialog with the members remits to the fear of being dismissed. The collective drawings permit that the psychologist lead and address in an easy way, silenced aspects by the pointing of despair, strange and repetitive aspects.

Objective: To analyze the regional health care network of pregnant women in SUS. Method: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative-qualitative research type survey. Interviews were carried out with managers from 28 municipalities, from the Ambulatory of Medical Specialties (AME) and from the Regional Department of Health (DRS) II of the state of São Paulo, totaling 86 interviewees. The variables studied were: performance of prenatal educational activity, existence of a referral protocol, organization of oral and general health care for the pregnant woman, agreement of references and functionality of the referral and counter-referral system. Content analysis was performed for the discursive questions and triangulation between the responses obtained in the municipalities, AME and DRS. Result: It was observed that 78.57% of the municipalities carry out educational activities with pregnant women; 42.86% did not have an implanted care protocol and in 57.14% there were no established referral criteria. Of the total of municipal managers, 53.57% affirmed to carry out rapid tests for the detection of HIV, Syphilis and Hepatitis B and C; 46.43% rapid pregnancy test and 39.28% reported evaluating the vaccine situation. Regarding primary dental care, there was no protocol esta... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

This study was conducted to comparatively examine child specific expulsion rates and parent satisfaction of children who received early childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) services delivered in 2 states for the 2012 program year: Maryland (unlicensed) and Delaware (licensed) . This current study examined secondary data to determine whether unlicensed (Maryland) ECMHC professionals are equally or more effective than licensed (Delaware) ECMHC professionals. Of the total number of child specific consultations or cases referred for services in Maryland (unlicensed), N = 370, n = 266 children avoided expulsion and were able to remain at their childcare placements while n = 17 children were expulsed. Of the total number of child specific consultations or cases referred for services in Delaware (licensed), N = 135, n = 119 children were able to remain in their childcare placements while n = 3 children were expulsed. The results of this study revealed that there is no statistically significant difference in expulsion rates between Unlicensed (Maryland) professionals and Licensed (Delaware) professionals. Results suggest that licensure status of ECMHC professionals has no affect on expulsion rate outcomes and should receive further examination. Additionally, results could support policy changes that could lead to a national credentialing process that would address the current gap in ECMHC services due to the shortage of qualified ECMHC professionals. This study was unable to determine the outcome of parent satisfaction due to missing data. Future direction should include replication using a mixed longitudinal study.

The present study attempted to answer two questions: do academic library users have a distinctive and useful input to make to library strategic planning? If they do, what mechanisms will permit them to participate effectively in this planning process? To address these questions research was carried out in two stages at a single institutional site, the Canberra College of Advanced Education. The first of these utilised a structured group discussion process, Nominal Group Technique (NGT). This was used both as an indicator of user planning priorities and as a pilot research technique contributing to the design of a subsequent survey. This survey obtained a response rate of over 90 percent from a sample of 379. The study attempted to establish that academic staff and students do have a worthwhile input to make to planning by testing for congruence between the rankings of library planning priorities of these user groups and the rankings of planning priorities of Library staff. No strong positive correlations were established between the priorities of student groups and Library staff, although in the survey the priorities of academic staff and Library staff were found to be related. These results suggest users do have a worthwhile input to make to library strategic planning. Other tests for congruence were also applied between and within respondent groups, because if a group was found to have different priorities there would be a prima facie case for consulting members of that group as part of the planning process. Both mechanisms used in the present study were considered successful. User surveys have been employed for planning in previous studies with a future-oriented component. However, it appears that this may have been the first formally reported application of NGT to library management. Experience in the present study suggests it is a highly suitable technique for situations such as strategic planning, where generation of ideas or comment on priorities is required. However, an attempt to establish congruence between the results obtained using NGT and those obtained from the survey yielded inconclusive results. It is believed that major changes in the institutional environment were principally responsible for this, although a methodological limitation may also have contributed. The study concludes with suggestions for further research.

La planification des infrastructures routières est marquée par une crise au plan de l'acceptabilité sociale. En quelques décennies, les grands projets routiers ont cessé de représenter des monuments du progrès, pour devenir des objets de débat. Dès les années 1970, le ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) faisait face à un contrecoup important de sa politique de développement des routes. Le morcellement des tissus urbains par les réseaux routiers a été fortement dénoncé et plusieurs projets ont connu de fortes oppositions de la société civile. Ces grands projets s'imposent encore aujourd'hui difficilement dans un contexte sociétal où la mise en rapport des différentes représentations véhiculées par les acteurs du territoire peine à mener à des consensus ou à des solutions intégrées. Parallèlement, l'institutionnalisation du débat public (notamment à travers le BAPE) et la mise en place d'un cadre juridique viennent encadrer davantage les projets. En mobilisant le concept d'apprentissage organisationnel, la présente thèse répond à une double interrogation. Elle cherche d'abord à comprendre comment se déploient les projets routiers du MTQ dans leurs rapports aux territoires et à leurs acteurs. Ensuite, elle tente de cerner comment évoluent les pratiques planificatrices de ce promoteur face aux contraintes actuelles de la territorialisation des projets. Le terrain d'étude est formé de l'analyse de quatre études de cas, tous des grands projets routiers planifiés par le MTQ, puis de la recension des grands changements organisationnels liés à la planification des projets routier. Par la confrontation du contenu des projets à chaque étape de leur planification, aux requêtes et représentations mobilisés par les acteurs, les effets du rapport au territoire sur la configuration des projets peuvent être constatés. Il ressort de la thèse que les controverses qui se déploient autour des grands projets routiers témoignent d'une nouvelle forme de territorialisation. Les projets se définissent beaucoup plus dans un enchevêtrement de rapports d'acteurs, que dans l'application de paramètres rationnels prédéfinis. Aux choix tranchants d'un acteur hégémonique se substitue une gouvernance des projets axée sur une imbrication et une pluralité d'acteurs. Les conduites de projet répondent d'un rapport au territoire plus complexe, qui vient remettre en question l'héritage technique et le rôle traditionnel conféré au MTQ. De manière transversale, la thèse fait ressortir une série d'apprentissages au sein des pratiques planificatrices du MTQ face à cette nouvelle territorialisation des projets routiers.

The aim of this dissertation is to examine inter-ethnic relations between organizationally active people with different ethnic backgrounds. I focus on relations that are based on a mutual interdependence between parties, mutual respect, common procedural rules, real opportunities that expressly approve or reject a proposal in a decision or deliberation situation free from compulsion, where people, who have different ethnic backgrounds, strive after insight and understanding in their relations. In this dissertation I present three empirical cases about cooperation, consultation and participation as forms of inter-ethnic relations from the organizational fields in the society. These cases are examples of what I characterize as “organizing inter-ethnicity”, or organizing people with different ethnic backgrounds around common concerns. Organizing inter-ethnicity is in turn a part of organizing and integrating diversity in society. Drawing on the results of three case studies, I distinguish between opportunities and barriers. My case studies clearly illustrate that the tensions that influence the patterns of and variation in opportunities and barriers have sources that reach well beyond ethnicity. Tensions between old and new organizations, between working immigrant organizations and refugee organizations, between organizations from same group or between organizations that have conflicts from their members’ countries of origin provide some examples of the difficulties that generate barriers to broad interest constellations between organizations.

Objectives The aim of this thesis was to assess the importance of general practitioners (GP) and patient related factors for the GPs’ decision to sick certify or not to sick certify the patients. Study population and methods The data were obtained from a cross-sectional questionnaire study of GP-patient consultations. 65 GPs responded to one questionnaire about themselves and one questionnaire about each of the altogether 642 consultations. The patients responded to a questionnaire about themselves and the consultation, altogether 521 consultations. Various combinations of the three questionnaires were used in the four papers on which this thesis is based. Results Among GPs, long experience of family medicine and working part-time were significant determinants for issuing more sick leave certificates. Complaints perceived as clearly somatic by the physician decreased the chance of sick certifications, and complaints resulting in severe limitation of occupational work capacity, as assessed by the patient as well as the physician, increased the chance of sick certification, as did appointments for loco-motor complaints. Among work related factors, high ‘authority over decisions’ and high ‘social support’ were associated with reduced sickness certification probability. Worrying about illness or injury risks from work increased sickness certification. GPs and their patients took a fairly similar view to statements on health related and insurance system related matters. GPs’ opinions seem to have a greater impact than patients’ on the GPs’ decision to sickness certify a patient or not. Conclusions A number of patient and GP related factors were associated with the probability of getting sick certified. The patient’s own judgement of impaired work ability was important for sickness certification, but a shared judgement and decision between the GP and the patient appears probable in most cases. / Försäkringsmedicin
