Problema de saúde pública de prevalência global, a diabetes está em franca expansão em todo planeta, vinculada ao contexto socioeconômico, às condições de urbanização e ao envelhecimento populacional. Estimativas da Organização Mundial da Saúde indicam que existem, atualmente, 387 milhões de pessoas vivendo com diabetes no mundo. Quarto colocado no ranking da International Diabetes Federation, o Brasil tem 11,6 milhões de adoecidos, 10% dos quais insulinodependentes. É nesse cenário epidêmico que se dá a construção de redes e sentidos de cuidado e autocuidado da diabetes baseados em práticas e conceitos elaborados por actantes os mais diversos, das políticas públicas brasileiras de saúde coletiva a profissionais de saúde e adoecidos crônicos. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar como as redes e seus actantes humanos e não humanos (políticas públicas, rede de atenção à saúde, profissionais de saúde, pacientes, amigos e familiares, medicamentos, insumos e tecnologias) performam e são performados na produção de cuidado e autocuidado no cotidiano dos serviços especializados. Para tanto foi realizado um estudo etnográfico, por meio de observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas de profissionais de saúde e usuário de unidade de atenção secundária do município de São Bernardo do Campo, no ABCD paulista. O objetivo foi, assim, contribuir para o entendimento das relações entre atores os mais diversos a partir de produção de cuidado e autocuidado e, consequentemente, refletir sobre a saúde coletiva e os projetos terapêuticos mais próximos dos contextos culturais e das singularidades de adoecidos crônicos e profissionais de saúde. / Public health problem of global prevalence, diabetes is booming across the planet, linked to the socioeconomic context, conditions of urbanization and population aging. Estimates from the World Health Organization indicate that there are currently 387 million people living with diabetes worldwide. Fourth place in the ranking of the International Diabetes Federation, Brazil has 11.6 million sickened, 10% of which insulin dependent. It is in this epidemic scenario that gives the building of care and self-care networks and their senses of diabetes based on established practices and concepts of the most diverse actants, from Brazilian public health policy to health professionals and chronic ill. The objective of this study is to analyze the networks and their human and non-human actants (public policy, health care network, health professionals, patients, friends and family, medicines, supplies and technologies) enact and are enacted in the production of care and self-care in the routine of medical specialized services. The study is an ethnography using participant observation and semi-structured interviews of health professionals and users of public specialized medical care unit in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo ABCD. The aim was thus to contribute to the understanding of the relationships among the various actors from care and self-care production and consequently reflecting on public health and the therapeutic projects of chronic ill and health professionals on their cultural contexts and singularities.

Abstract Purpose/Aim: The aim is to investigate if there are any differences in the reporting from the Olympic games and the Paralympic games, according to different periodicals or magazines, with focus on Paralymics and sports for handicapped. If so, what are those differences? Material/Method: The material consists of two periodicals, or magazines; Svensk idrott which is the official paper for the swedish Riksidrottsförbundet, and Handikappidrott, which is the official paper for the swedish Handikappidrottsförbundet. Articles considering the summer games in 1972 and 1976, 1984, 1996 and 2000 was studied with regard to models developed by Algirdas J. Greimas. The methods are both quantitative and qualitative. Main results: The main results are that the biggest difference between the periodicals really lie in the selection of articles and also in the amount of articles published, considering the games. In Handikappidrott, the articles are aimed towards an initiated audience who are supposed to know much about handicapped people and their sports. Svensk idrott focuses a lot more on different aspects of the Olympic games, such as politics and economy. Also has the aspect of normalisation been of current interest – the problem is that the more of handicapped people and issues that are presented to the audience in order to pinpoint the normality of the issue, the more focus come to lie on what is different from the non-handicapped, and in that way enlarge the gap between handicapped an non-handicapped. Keywords: Olympic games, Paralympics, actants, narrator, implied author, normalisation

The problematization of waste surplus informed numerous decisions on local, national and international levels. However, the waste pollution problem is far from being solved. This paper attempts to explore an alternative way of organizing waste using the Actor-Network Theory, which argues for equality between humans and nonhumans. We are taking this approach and recognising the role of waste as an essential actor in the decision-making process around waste management. Based on a case study of a second-hand shop, so-called Överskottet, where wasted materials are being transported and processed by people with special needs. We showcased how these alternative ways can be implemented. This shop is part of a collaboration between the Waste Management Department and the Social Services Department of Gotland’s municipality, namely, Region Gotland. This collaboration is a perfect example of the connection between the material and the social. In our study, we are analysing connections between waste and humans on different levels (i.e. municipality departments, humans and wasted materials) and show how these connections create a collaborative network that has both social and environmental impact. We account for factors that strengthen and factors that weaken, thus destabilising the collaboration network. Finally, we highlighted how these collaborations require adapting the existing policies surrounding waste management.

Ce projet se décline en deux parties. Dans un premier temps, il s’agit de développer une méthode de conversion automatique des textes annotés selon la sémantique des cadres dans FrameNet en représentations sémantiques de la Théorie Sens-Texte, afin de développer davantage de ressources informatiques pour assurer le développement de différents projets, notamment le réalisateur de textes GenDR. Dans un second temps, cette conversion sera mise à profit pour effectuer une analyse comparative entre les deux formalismes. Nous retiendrons que ces formalismes ne sont pas incompatibles, mais diffèrent par leurs niveaux de granularité et leurs objectifs propres. Nous tracerons quelques parallèles entre les fonctions lexicales et les relations entre cadres, et proposerons une mise en commun des formalismes afin de les enrichir. / This project is divided in two main parts. Firstly, a method allowing for an automatic conversion of FrameNet's Semantics-based text annotations into semantic representations, according to the Meaning-Text Theory framework, will be presented. This method will lead to an increased set of data usable to develop and improve various Meaning-Text Theory-based projects, including GenDR, a text realizer. Secondly, the conversion task will be used to do a comparative analysis of the two frameworks. We will conclude that the two frameworks are not incompatible, but differ in their granularity and goals. We will also draw parallels between the lexical functions and frame- to-frame relationships, and make some suggestions regarding changes to the frameworks in order to enrich them.

Le service public d’eau de Paris est indéniablement développé… mais est-il durable ? Comment évaluer et améliorer cette durabilité ? C’est à cette question que nous proposons d’apporter une réponse scientifique. Cette thèse doctorale étudie les stratégies de développement des services publics d’eau et leur durabilité, avec pour principal cas d’étude Paris. En moins de deux siècles, ce service d’eau est passé d’une situation archaïque à la configuration sociotechnique actuelle, et nous souhaitons comprendre dans quelle mesure cette action collective pourra être prolongée – ou pas – à l'avenir. La première partie de cette thèse discute le cadre méthodologique et théorique mobilisé pour étudier ce qui 'gouverne' le développement et la durabilité du service public d’eau à Paris. C’est ce cadre d’analyse général qui est appliqué dans les parties suivantes de cette thèse, pour analyser le temps long : passé, présent et futur. Premièrement, pour comprendre la durabilité du développement passé. Nous expliquons comment un service public d’eau a pu historiquement être développé et perdurer à Paris jusqu'à ce jour. Pour cela, nous étudions les dynamiques à la fois écologiques, techniques, économiques, institutionnelles et politiques de ce développement, afin d'en identifier les principaux moteurs et les limites. Deuxièmement, pour évaluer la durabilité du développement présent. Nous étudions dans quelle mesure les politiques contemporaines (ex : politiques de RSE) changent quelque chose aux configurations, dynamiques et trajectoires héritées du passé. Si les politiques de développement durable actuelles permettent plusieurs améliorations, diverses résistances les rendent marginales ou marginalisées, malgré le consensus en leur faveur. Troisièmement, pour prévoir la durabilité du développement futur. Nous analysons les principales conséquences des projets officiels prévus (ex : Grand Paris de l’eau). En complément, nous proposons une étude prospective de divers scénarios encore possibles à l’avenir, afin de discuter des cheminements qui y mènent et de leurs conséquences, notamment face à la baisse de la demande d’eau observée depuis 1990. L'objectif de cette thèse est autant d'améliorer la compréhension de la notion de durabilité, que de proposer des outils opérationnels pour définir, mener et évaluer des politiques de service public d'eau durables à l’avenir. / The public water supply service in Paris is most certainly developed... but is it sustainable? And how can we measure or improve its sustainability? We will here attempt to provide a scientific answer to this question. The purpose of this Ph. D. thesis is to analyze sustainability strategies for public water services, with Paris as a main case study. In less than 2 centuries, the water service in Paris rose from an archaic water supply system to the current state of the art technical and social configuration. However, we wonder now to what extent this collective effort can be continued – or not – in the future. In the first part of the thesis, we present the theoretical and methodological framework used to understand the dynamics governing the development and sustainability of public water services in general. This analytical framework is then applied to 3 case studies: past, present and future Paris’ public water supply development. First, we study the sustainability of past development, to explain how a water service has been developed and maintained in Paris over time and up until now. We analyze the ecological, technical, Seconomical, institutional, political dynamics of this development, in order to identify their driving forces and limitations. Secondly, we assess the sustainability of present time development. We evaluate the capacity of today’s policies (e.g. Corporate Social Responsibility) to modify dynamics, configurations and trajectories inherited from the past. Current sustainable development policies provide significant improvements, but they face resistance and tend to remain marginal or marginalized, even though a strong consensus exists in their favor. Finally, we anticipate the sustainability of future development. We analyze the main projects that are officially contemplated (e.g. the Great Paris water utility project) and their consequences on both sustainability and development. In addition, we built several forward-looking scenarios, in order to discuss possible future paths of evolution and their consequences, facing the declining water demand experienced in Paris since 1990. The purpose of this thesis is thus twofold: on one hand, it aims at enhancing the theoretical understanding of sustainability issues and strategies for water services; on the other hand, it aims at providing improved tools to define, implement and evaluate the sustainable development of tomorrow’s public water service policies.

Through two books and a series of video documentations of live performances Mette Ingvartsen makes choreography into a territory of physical, artistic and social experimentation. The Artificial Nature Series focusses on how relations between human and non-human agency can be explored and reconfigured through choreography. By investigating and creating a ‘nonhuman theater’ questions regarding material agency, ecology, natural disasters, the Anthropocene and non-subjective performativity are posed. The resulting reflections are closely related to the poetic principles utilized to create the performances, while also drawing connections to territories outside theater. By contrast, 69 positions inscribes itself into a history of human performance with afocus on nudity, sexuality and how the body historically has been a site for political struggles. By creating a guided tour through sexual performances – from the naked protest actions of the 1960’s, through an archive ofpersonal performances into a reflection on contemporary sexual practice – this solo work rethinks audience participation and proposes a notion of soft and social choreography. The contrasting performative strategiesarticulate a twofold notion of expanded choreography: on the one hand movement is extended beyond the human body by including the agency of nonhuman performers, and on the other hand, movement is expanded into animaginary and virtual space thanks to ‘language choreography’. / <p>LINKS</p><p>https://vimeo.com/164552586</p><p>https://vimeo.com/164558381</p>
