O principal objetivo é tentar reconstruir sociologicamente, de forma ainda muito preliminar, as principais causas deste fracasso e suas conseqüências para a manutenção da desigualdade social. O argumento central é que o fracasso escolar seria fruto de um padrão de má-fé institucional que atinge a maior parte de nossas escolas públicas de ensino básico. O funcionamento precário do sistema de ensino, relegado historicamente às populações mais pobres que, em sua maioria, não possuem as disposições suficientes para o bom desempenho escolar, acaba por gerar práticas de violência simbólica em direção aos alunos, responsabilizando-os pelo fracasso escolar que ela própria contribui para produzir. / This master’s work proposes a theoretical rebuilding of Brazilian school failure. The main goal is to try a sociological reconstruction, in a still very preliminary manner, of the main causes of this school failure and his consequences to the social inequality maintenance. The main argument is that the school failure is result of a pattern of institutional bad faith with reach the major part of our public schools of basic education. The precarious work of the education system, historically relegate to the more poor population who, majority, don’t have the dispositions sufficient to a satisfactory school performance, produce symbolic violence acts toward the students, blame then to the school failure that it contribute to create.

Para tanto, foram avaliadas duas condições estressantes: Estudo I - prova; Estudo II - tensão pré-menstrual (TPM). O Estudo I foi composto de 2 grupos: A e B. O grupo A (34 voluntários), foi subdividido em 18 voluntários com estresse e 16 voluntários sem estresse. As concentrações dos CSV e foram medidas 1 semana antes da prova, no dia e 1 semana após, através do monitor de sulfetos (Halimeter) e o fluxo salivar também foi mensurado. No grupo B (37 voluntários), além dessas análises foram mensurados o pH, "capacidade tampão", cálcio, fósforo e proteína na saliva. O Estudo II foi composto por 50 voluntárias: 27 mulheres sem TPM (controle) e 23 mulheres com TPM. As mensurações dos CSV e do fluxo salivar foram realizadas nos períodos não-menstrual, pré-menstrual e de menstruação. A análise estatística mostrou que tanto no Grupo A (n=34) quanto no Grupo B (n=37) a concentração dos CSV no dia da prova foi maior (p<0,05) enquanto que a taxa de fluxo salivar foi menor (p<0,05). Os voluntários com estresse (n=18) e sem estresse (n=16) também apresentaram maiores concentrações de CSV no dia da prova (p<0,05), enquanto o fluxo salivar foi menor somente nos voluntários não estressados (p<0,05). A análise bioquímica da saliva do Grupo B revelou - que o pH foi menor no dia da prova (p<0,05), e as demais análises não foram diferentes (p>0,05). No Estudo II, as voluntárias sem TPM (n=26) apresentaram maior concentração dos CSV no período menstrual (p<0,05). Enquanto nas voluntárias com TPM (n=23) a concentração dos CSV foi maior (p<0,05) nos períodos menstrual e pré-menstrual. Já o fluxo salivar não mostrou diferenças (p>0,05). Os resultados sugerem que o estresse é um fator pré-disponente da halitose, cujo mecanismo não pode ser explicado somente pela diminuição do fluxo salivar / Abstract:The aim of study was to evaluate the relationship between stress and volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) present in mouth air. Thus, two stressfull conditions were evaluated: Study 1- examination; Study II - premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Study I was composed of 2 groups: A and B. Group A (34 volunteers), was divided in 18 volunteers with stress and 16 volunteers without stress. VSC concentrations were measured a week before, on day and a week after the exam using a sulfide monitor (Halimeter) and the salivary flow was measured. In group B (37 volunteers), others analyisis as pH, "buffer capacity", proteins, calcium and phosphorus, in saliva were performed. In study II, fifty women were selected: 27 women without PMS symptoms (control group) and 23 women with PMS symptoms. The measurements were performed during non-menstrual, PMS and menstrual periods. The statistical results showed in both groups A and B an increase of VSC concentration on the exam day (p<0.05) and the salivary flow was lower (p<0.05). Volunteers with stress (n=18) and without stress (n=16), presented higher VSC concentration on the exam (p<0.05), but there was statistical diferences in the salivary flow rate only in the volunteers without stress (p<0.05). The biochemistry analisys of the saliva in group B showed that pH was lower on the exam day (p<0.05), and others analisys were not statistical differences (p>0.05). In study II, the volunteers without PMS symptoms (n=26) presented higher VSC concentration in the menstrual period (p<0.05). Volunteers with PMS (h=23) showed a greater VSC concentration in both menstrual and PMS periods (p<0.05). Salivary flow rate was not statistically different (p>0.05). The results suggest that stressful conditions can be a predisposing factor for bad breath, and the mechanism cannot be explained only by the decrease of the salivary flow / Mestrado / Fisiologia Oral / Mestre em Odontologia

Le problème de la duperie de soi constitue un défi majeur pour toute théorie de la rationalité, attendu que le sujet qui se dupe lui-même semble adhérer à une croyance illusoire tout en étant conscient de son caractère illusoire. C’est en tout cas ce que prétend la tradition « intentionnaliste » qui domine parmi les philosophes (Sartre, Davidson, Pears, Talbott, Scott-Kakures, Bermudez), qui tend à décrire la duperie de soi comme un acte intentionnel dont l’agent serait entièrement responsable. Nous soutenons au contraire une conception dite « émotionnaliste » selon laquelle la duperie de soi est un phénomène sub-intentionnel et involontaire d’illusion cognitive qui trouve son explication dans l’influence des émotions sur notre faculté de juger. Cela nous amène à développer une théorie « cognitivo-hédonique » des émotions qui vise à rendre compte du rôle que jouent ces dernières non seulement dans la naissance des croyances irrationnelles, mais même des actions irrationnelles (acrasia). / Self-deception poses a notable challenge for any theory of rationality, given that the self-deceiver appears to embrace a deceptive belief knowing of it’s deceptive nature. This is at least what is claimed by those who hold an « intentionalist » account (Sartre, Davidson, Pears, Talbott, Scott-Kakures, Bermudez), who tend to portray self-deception as an intentional act for which the self-deceiver should be held accountable. Instead, I hold a so-called « emotionalist » account according to which self-deception is a sub-intentional and involuntary process of cognitive illusion which stems from the influence our emotions may insidiously exert on our cognitive faculties, and thereby on our judgments. That leads me to develop a « cognitive-hedonic » theory of emotions with the purpose of showing how exactly our emotions are capable of inducing not only irrational beliefs, but even irrational actions (acrasia).

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Bad news in the hospital scenario creates difficulties for professionals who need to accomplish this task. But, also, it is a difficult time and that changes the perspective of patients and their families about their future. Faced with this assumption, the research that led to this thesis aimed to understand the process of bad news communication in the context of the Intensive Care Unit for adults, from the perspective of physicians and family members involved in the hospitalization. This is a qualitative study of an exploratory and descriptive nature, covering all 23 participants, including 12 doctors, working in the Intensive Care Unit of a teaching hospital in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, and 11 family members of patients admitted in this unit. We interviewed all doctors working in the unit, while the number of family participants was achieved by the criterion of sample saturation. We used semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation to collect the information, which was analyzed from the content analysis. The categories of information coming from the analysis were described and discussed in two articles that make up the essence of this work. The results show that each doctor search, in line with your style, a way of communicating based on personal experience and common sense. Both the lack of formation as the difficulty of dealing with suffering and death are related to the difficulty in communicating bad news by the doctor, giving it the need to exclude the feelings, coming from the hospital routine through the use of mechanisms aimed at appeasement of emotions. One should also consider that the family is in a moment of anguish, which can cause difficulty in understanding the information given by the doctors. Based on these appointments is considered that, in the doctor/family relationship the communication is even more technical and prioritizes unique clarifications the disease and treatment. The doctors did not feel prepared to communicate, and especially to listen to the suffering. But one should also consider how the families are underserved. / Comunicar más notícias no cenário hospitalar gera dificuldades para os profissionais que precisam realizar essa tarefa. Porém, igualmente, é um momento difícil e que altera a perspectiva do paciente e de seus familiares em relação ao seu futuro. Frente a este pressuposto, a pesquisa que originou a presente dissertação teve como objetivo geral compreender o processo de comunicação de más notícias no contexto da uma Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo para adultos, na perspectiva de médicos e familiares envolvidos na situação de internação. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, de cunho exploratório e descritivo, que abrangeu a totalidade de 23 participantes, sendo 12 médicos, atuantes na Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo de um hospital escola do interior do Rio Grande do Sul, e 11 familiares de pacientes internados nesta unidade. Foram entrevistados todos os médicos que trabalham na unidade, já o número de familiares participantes foi atingido mediante o critério de saturação da amostra. Foram utilizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas e observação não participante para a coleta das informações, que foram analisadas a partir da análise de conteúdo. As categorias procedentes da análise das informações foram descritas e discutidas em dois artigos, que compõem a essência do presente trabalho. Os resultados apontam que cada médico, busca, em concordância com seu estilo, uma forma de comunicar baseada em experiências pessoais e no senso comum. Tanto a falta de formação quanto a dificuldade de lidar com o sofrimento e a morte relacionam-se na dificuldade do médico em comunicar más notícias, trazendo a este a necessidade de excluir os sentimentos, oriundos da própria rotina hospitalar, através do uso de mecanismos voltados ao apaziguamento das emoções. Deve-se considerar, ainda, que o familiar se encontra em um momento de angústia, o que pode ocasionar dificuldades em compreender as informações passadas pelos médicos. Partindo destes apontamentos considera-se que, na relação médico/familiar, a comunicação ainda é mais técnica e prioriza esclarecimentos exclusivos da doença e do tratamento. Os médicos não se sentem preparados para comunicar e, principalmente, para escutar o sofrimento. Mas, se deve ponderar igualmente o quanto os familiares estão desassistidos.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / In this thesis, I will argue that one of the ways to think about the concept of homelessness and its relationship to violence is to trace the concept as it emerges in key theoretical texts of critical intellectuals who find themselves both in and outside the Western homeland. In attempting to do so, I limit this thesis to three key theoretical articulations from which the concept of homelessness can be extracted: the works of Sigmund Freud, Franz Fanon and Michael Foucault. In bringing to bear the life and work of these individuals, the hope is to conceive of the relationship between violence and homelessness in new and unforeseen ways. I propose to bring an informed interdisciplinary and gender perspective to bear on the concept of homelessness. Accepting the supposition that the body can be seen as a site of homecoming,I explore the question of who owns the body. This exploration is undertaken through an examination of the advocacy slogan, ‘my body, my business’, and the placement of the Afrikan sex worker alongside Freud, Fanon and Foucault. The Afrikan sex worker in this work is a new feminist potentiality in much the same way that homelessness offers new postcolonial possibilities. While much of postcolonial criticism has centred on the problem of the colonized subject’s relation to the home, there has not yet been a sustained undertaking of the history and meaning of the concept of homelessness and, more importantly, its relationship to the experience of violence in the contemporary world. The history of homeless people tends to be recorded through surveillance and documentation by those institutions responsible for providing discipline, punishment, shelter and cure so as to ‘save’ and ‘rescue’ them. These responses, particularly when done systematically, can become frameworks that hold the homeless person ransom to a particular language game of ‘truth’, thereby restricting the homeless person’s movement and possibility of finding a voice. Deriving a concept of homelessness from the life and work of Freud, Fanon and Foucault allows for new insights. These thinkers offer a view of homelessness that is productive for thinking against the grain of dominant orthodoxies. This contrasts with the implication of pathologization of homelessness which arises in the frameworks of dominant political,therapeutic and social work approaches.The creation of homelessness also recalls the attendant violence of its experience. I argue that the space of homelessness needs to be contextualized. When homelessness is imposed, as with torture or a tsunami, there is a closing down of space; but when chosen, as with the transgendered sex worker who leaves her home and community due to threats, impositions and judgements, homelessness may paradoxically open up space. Drawing on the insights from these theorists, I also suggest that the concept of homelessness may at a symbolic level serve rather as a powerful space of resistance to hegemonic practices of belonging, offering a way of destabilising dominant patriarchal, heteronormative and Western constructions of home.The thesis concludes that homelessness cannot be kept outside the boundaries of the home; and neither can the homeless be fully assimilated into the homeland, as something within the home is irreducible to any ordering of things. The border, boundary and intersections of home and homelessness are blurred, forever incomplete, as the home finds itself ceaselessly stained and crossed with the uncanny, that is, the ‘unhomely’. Home, as noted by Delia Vekony (2010), is a site of hospitality. It is a space to think, play, and dream, eat, make love and raise children. But it is also a stage upon which the state apparatus, global economy, monotheistic religions and patriarchal order assert control over the body. Homelessness has been constructed as a material experience for many: a site of terror, abandonment and lack of direction. It is often experience it as free falling or as the mental foreclosure of space. Yet I underline another dimension of homelessness: as an experience of liberation. This ‘camping on the borders’ allows for a disruption of identification, a state of refuge from the demands of others and a form of nomadic thinking. Within any home setting lurks the uncanny, what cannot be housed, likewise within any homeless setting a becoming-at-home is possible. Both home and homelessness hold the possibility of terror as well as a comforting, exciting retreat and escape.

The master's thesis "Evaluation of good and bad practices in the management process of a specific project" aims to analyse and evaluate the good and bad practice in the project of "Contract compliance" in the company SAP. The first part of the thesis is focused on theoretical and methodological basis of project management and its processes. The second part of the thesis characterises the company SAP and the selected project as well as analyses and evaluates good and bad practices. Furthermore, the findings are summarised in the Lessons Learned document and preventive measures for the identified bad practice are proposed. This creates a learning material for future project management in the company.

A key factor in creating software of good quality is that the requirements for the project being developed are as unambiguous and clear as possible, so the developers will be able to develop the product quickly and effectively. So, there is a need for tools that help requirements engineers create quality requirements. The attributes that define a poorly written requirement are called bad smells. In this thesis we investigate the NALABS tools bad smell detecting capabilities when analyzing industrial requirements. First, we performed a literature study to investigate what types of bad smells exist for requirements and how they were specified. After that we used a case study to examine how many smells and of what categories the NALABS tool detects, when it analyzes industrial requirements. Lastly, we used a small experiment to examine how accurately NALABS detects smells, by designing a simple console application that counted instances of bad smell words in a set of keywords that were from the NALABS tool. The results we gathered gave us an indication that NALABS detects bad smells in all the categories of bad smells that are implemented in it, to a varying degree. Through this thesis we hope to extend the knowledge about bad requirements smells, clarify what attributes of a requirement might be a bad smell, and investigate to what degree the NALABS tool can detect bad smells in industrial requirements.
